1A two-day conference honoring the Prairie View Interscholastic League brought together people who recounted their lives during legalized segrega- tion and their transition into integration. The League is an organi- zation that governed extra- curricular activities for Texas’ African American high school students dur- ing that time period. The conference, “Thurs- day Night Lights,” kicked off Thursday with opening re- marks by several coordina- tors of the event, including Gregory Vincent, UT’s vice president for the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement. Vincent said he is proud to be a part of the league’s legacy. “We often talk about segregation and talk about the pathology of it, and all that’s true, but what’s amazing about our people, we make a way out of no way,” Vincent said. “And somehow when we’re given these scraps, we turn it into a tapestry of gold, and that is exactly what the [league] is about.” The league was formed in the ’20s as the Texas Interscholastic League of Colored Schools and at its height encompassed 500 Monday, November 4, 2013@thedailytexanfacebook.com/dailytexanServing the University of Texas at Austin community since 1900dailytexanonline.com bit.ly/dtvidSPORTS PAGE 5COMICS PAGE 7LIFE&ARTS PAGE 8Blanton Museum receives fellowship grant.

Everything anyone needed to know about the Long- horns’ game against Kansas could be heard in the stands or at home on mute. Silence. A few minutes into the third quarter, Texas found it- self up only 14-6 over a lowly Kansas team, and to that point the Jayhawks had played the mighty Longhorns as their equal. A missed field goal and a poorly timed running- Shelby Tauber / Daily Texan StaffJunior running back Malcolm Brown carried the Longhorns on the ground with 119 yards and four touchdowns against Kansas. After five tough weeks to start the season, the former top- recruit has turned it on in the past three games. ENERGY page 5LEAGUE page 2By Chris HummerDaily Texan Columnist @chris_hummerAll-black sports leaguehonored at symposiumZachary Strain / Daily Texan StaffArt history senior Kaila Schedeen said her life was changed 15 months ago when she was sexually assaulted. Though she reported her assault to authorities and sought counseling at UT, she is among a minority to do so. Fifteen months ago, Kaila Schedeen was sexually assaulted by someone she knew. The incident changed the course of her life, but on paper, it was statistically typical. More than 80 percent of rapes involve a perpetrator known to the victim, and roughly 70 percent involve alcohol — both true in Schedeen’s case. There was something uncommon in Schedeen’s story; She reported the crime to authorities. When she returned to campus at the end of the summer, she also reached out to UT Counseling and Mental Health Center for help. The vast major- ity of sexually assaulted UT students will never take either step. “If you look at the national statistics, they’ll say one in four college women is likely to be a victim of sexual assault by the time they complete college, and for men it’s one in six,” said Jennifer Hammat, institutional Title IX coordi- nator and assistant vice president for student affairs. “For a campus population of 50,000 [students], that means we should be seeing 12,500 cases a year. And we’re not.” There were only 18 forcible sexual offenses reported in 2012, including those occurring on campus properties, residence halls, non-campus buildings and adjacent pub- lic property, according to the University’s Annual Security Report released last month. The year before, there were 16. Erin Burrows, a Voices Against Violence health education coordinator, said these low statistics should not be inter- preted to mean UT students experience radically lower rates of sexual assault compared to students at other universities. Burrows said survivors face many barriers when decid- ing whether or not to report to police. Those barriers are often personal and psychological and are aspects of the culture of silence surrounding sexual assault. “They include a fear of not being believed … Or that the disciplinary action at the end of the process will not be worth the process itself,” Burrows said. Students might have grounds for being skeptical of the reporting process. In the past two years, several public and private universities across the country have come under fire for their handling of sexual assault cases. At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the former assistant dean of students recently filed a complaint alleging pressure by administrators to underreport cases of sexual assault. Earlier this year, 13 students from the University of Southern California filed a federal Title IX complaint alleg- ing campus administrators had failed to respond to claims of sexual violence on campus. One student said adminis- trators dissuaded her from filing a report with the police, saying the detectives would be tough on her, and that she wasn’t technically assaulted because “he didn’t orgasm.” Psychology sophomore Lauren La Riva, another survi- vor of sexual assault, said the cultural stigmas surrounding sexual assault meant she didn’t identify as a survivor until she came to college.

Mel- lon Foundation awarded a $504,000 grant Thursday to the Blanton Museum of Art to establish a curatori- al fellowship program that will allow three doctoral candidates the opportu- nity to work directly with curators. Students in the art his- tory program will be able to apply for the fellowship every academic year to have access to hands-on training and professional experience with Blanton curators and other members of the edu- cation team. “It’s a half a million dollar award, so we’re really able to provide a comprehensive training ground for these young curators,” said Kath- leen Stimpert, the Blanton’s director of public relations and marketing. There are three positions per year and each fellowship will last one academic year. “It’s very important to help train the next genera- tion of museum leaders, so something like this affords us this opportunity,” Stim- pert said. The three positions will be awarded in each of Blanton’s core collection areas: Prints and draw- ings and European paint- ings; Modern and con- temporary art; and Latin American art, according to Philip Nadasdy, com- munications director for the department of art and art history. “Our students have al- ways worked with Blan- ton in some capacity, but this is significantly bigger outside of internships and individual research,” Na- dasdy said. “There is a high professional standard, and we are looking for the very best people to work under the fellowship.” —Nicole CoblerNEWS BRIEFLY2NEWSMonday, November 4, 2013Main Telephone(512) 471-4591EditorLaura Wright(512) 232-2212editor@dailytexanonline.comCONTACT USVolume 114, Issue 58TOMORROW’S WEATHERHighLow7566And that’s how you get expelled from school two days before graduation.

Keynote speaker Wil- liam Rhoden, a columnist for The New York Times, spoke Thursday about the prominent national figures who came out of the league, such as Barbara Jordan, a former politician and UT professor, and athletes, including wide-receiver Charley Taylor and defen- sive tackle Joe Greene. “What was so interesting is I started really digging into the [the league], you realize that all around the country when you talk about black folks, whether you’re in Louisiana, whether it’s in Alabama, here, Chicago, you got these tremendous black athletics associations that flourished and turned out all these great people, that you would have no idea,” Rhoden said. Frank Guridy, history associate professor and di- rector of the University’s John L. Warfield Center for African and African American Studies, which hosted the event, said this was the first conference on this topic to be held, and said he hopes it will be an annual event depending on resources. Guridy said the point of the conference was to view and analyze the history of segregation in the state. “What can we take from that period is how can we learn about community for- mation,” Guridy said. “What lessons from that period can we take to the present, other than the fact than we don’t want to remember it? The spirit of the conference was more about how they made do, how did they create com- munities, how did they cre- ate futures in a period when people struggled. I think those are valuable lessons that we can take from that period.” One session from the conference focused direct- ly on the league’s legacy at L.C. Anderson High School, the only predomi- nantly African-American high school in Austin dur- ing that time period. The session composed of a pan- el of distinguished alumni from the high school who participated in sports and other school organizations. They talked about their experiences during high school, and the challenges they faced. “Being in a segregated en- vironment was a positive ex- perience,” said Diane Lang, a graduate from the original L.C. Anderson high school. “We knew about the other schools and we knew we weren’t being treated right, and we used that energy to try and make the best grades we could.” Joe Capraro / Daily Texan StaffSaxophone player Ben Ellman and trombonist Corey Henry of the band Galactic perform during the Dirty Dozen Brass Band’s set at Stubb’s on Friday night.

Soon, he was on top of her. “I said ‘no,”’ La Riva said. “I was crying. But he didn’t stop.” La Riva said she didn’t realize she had been assaulted for months following the incident. “I kept asking myself, ‘Why didn’t I do more to stop it?’” La Riva said. “I didn’t want to feel like a rape statistic.” Eventually, she recounted the story to a friend, who told her the experience sounded like rape. It wasn’t until her first Voices Against Violence meeting this year — almost five years after her assault — that someone told her she was a survivor. La Riva said her sexual assault has had a lasting effect on her, but she’s become more comfortable with recounting and dealing with her experience, in part, because of the resources she’s found on campus. According to Burrows, experiences such as La Riva’s are not unusual. People often don’t realize they’ve been assaulted be- cause there are many culture-wide misunderstandings about the meaning of consent and such a skewed picture of what most rapes look like, Burrows said. Jane Bost, associate director for the University’s Counseling and Mental Health Center, said the key is to spread awareness of what consent is as widely as possible. If someone tells a group of friends about an assault, Bost hopes at least one of them will have heard about the resources the University offers. “We want people to know we’re here,” Bost said. “But talk- ing about sexual assault at all is very new and really has only happened for the past 50 years, so we’re only at the beginning of a very long journey.” When Schedeen falls back into depression, or has a bad day — the kind of bad day she says she never had before her as- sault — Schedeen said she remembers a metaphor the center’s social worker, Laura Dannenmaier, provided her. “Healing from this trauma isn’t a straight line,” Schedeen said. “It’s more like a mountain you’re climbing around. Some- times you’ll end up at that same rough point in the mountain, months or even years later, and you’ll feel like you haven’t pro- gressed — but you’re still higher than you were.” Voices Against Violence also helps survivors through the Sur- vivor’s Emergency Fund, which covers costs that survivors may encounter as a result of being sexually assaulted. This includes situation-specific costs such as changing the locks in a student’s apartment or paying for a medical examination a student might not want to show up on his or her parents’ insurance. Schedeen used the fund to help pay for new glasses after her old pair was smashed during her assault. “It was one less thing I had to think about,” Schedeen said. “They just took care of it for me.” Hammat said the University is working with the federal govern- ment to expand and clarify the people charged with “mandatory reporting.” Mandatory reporting legally requires certain University employees to report incidents of sexual assault they’re told about. That list currently includes deans, department chairs and residential assistants, among others, but some responsibilities aren’t clearly defined. Burrows said it’s unclear if a teaching assistant must report incidents of sexual assault to the University if told about an incident by another student. Despite efforts to move away from the culture of silence, the conversation about sexual assault remains difficult for some survivors. “I usually don’t tell people my story,” La Riva said. “I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable.” For Schedeen, silence is largely a mechanism of self- preservation. “People never know what to say,” Schedeen said. “They try to empathize or tell me they understand, but if you haven’t been sexually assaulted, you just can’t understand. You just don’t know what it’s like.” Schedeen said a professor she admires told her not to men- tion her assault on her applications to graduate school. “He said they would think I was mentally unstable,” Sche- deen said. “And he’s right. There is a conflation of mental ill- ness with surviving sexual assault — and that’s awful.” But in telling her story, Schedeen said she wants people to realize they should take ownership of their experiences. “If you’re an assault survivor, that isn’t your fault, it is in no way your fault,” Schedeen said. “I want to stop feeling ashamed about my story.” Burrows says people who work on sexual assault prevention wrap themselves in kind of a “cloak of contradictions” — they want to hear about more assault even as they want to reduce the assaults that occur. “The more assaults I hear about, the more I know I’m doing my job right,” Burrows said. “But that also shows me just how much further we have to go.” Though Schedeen still struggles, she said she’s moving on. She said she still has bad days, days when she can’t get out of bed, days when she doesn’t care about being alive. But they occur less and less now. Schedeen said she’s not the person she was 15 months ago before she was assaulted, but she’s doing all right. “I’m moving up the mountain,” she said. “That’s progress.” For a campus population of 50,000 [stu- dents], that means we should be seeing 12,500 cases a year. And we’re not. —Jennifer Hammat, Institutional Title IX coordinator and assistant vice president for student affairsASSAULTcontinues from page 1 What students don’t report: Statistics of sexual assault15inwomen are sexually assaulted while in college. of college campus assaults involve victims who know their assailants. 80-90% of men reported ex- periencing attempted or completed sexual assault since entering college.

Will you be voting? If you choose not to, you’ll likely have company; off-year elections are notorious for low voter turnout. According to FairVote. org, turnout for the last mayoral election in Austin was only 7 percent, and tomorrow will probably be even worse since there isn’t much on the ballot: just a special election to fill Mark Strama’s vacated Texas House seat — he is leaving to lead Austin’s Google Fi- ber project — along with nine proposed state constitutional amendments and an afford- able housing bond for the city. Even though the housing bond could have implications for those of us struggling to find an afford- able place to live in Austin, the total absence of any major state or federal race on the bal- lot makes this election nearly irrelevant to the average UT student. Nevertheless, rest assured that you’ll prob- ably be hearing the old it’s-your-duty-to-vote lecture from that one civically-engaged gov- ernment major that you know. Whether you see it on your Facebook news feed or over- hear it in class, you’re bound to hear at least one person tell you that you really need to stop being so apathetic and go vote. Usually, I am that civically-engaged gov- ernment major nagging my friends to vote, and I probably will be at the polls tomor- row, despite the low profile of the 11 issues on the ballot. However, this off-year election dilemma got me thinking about a broader question: What would happen if we were all required to vote? After all, it’s not out of the question that Congress could pass a law that made voting mandatory; Australia, Brazil, Argentina and Peru all have compulsory vot- ing laws. And if it truly were our civic duty and responsibility to vote, wouldn’t it make sense to require it by law? I sat down with Brian Roberts, a profes- sor of government, geography and econom- ics, to talk about compulsory voting, and he began with an analogy: Right now, there is no law against burning the American flag. As a result, your decision to not burn the flag could be seen as a sign of national pride or patriotism. But “if there were a law that forbade me from burning the American flag, and I don’t burn the flag,” Roberts explained, “you don’t know if it’s because I’m afraid of going to jail, or because I have some pride in my country. I would much rather be in a situation where my act of not burning the flag actually means something.” Voting works the same way. Since it isn’t currently required, voting, as Roberts put it, is “a very clear statement of civic pride and faith in the system.” Would we want a situa- tion where voting loses its patriotic and po- litical significance, in which people only vote because they are scared of going to jail? Voting is a powerful signal that can show how invested an individual is in the govern- ment. But the implications of that signal can go far beyond one individual’s faith in gov- ernment. Voter turnout statistics can be a powerful tool to evaluate an entire nation’s relationship with its government, and we often do judge “the health of a democracy by its level of participation” in elections, as Roberts explained. For example, in the 1976 Supreme Court case “Buckley v. Valeo,” the court suggested that the level of participation in elections could be used to measure public trust in government. The case was a challenge to laws governing campaign finance — who could give money to federal candidates and how much they could give — and one of the dominant themes of the per curiam opin- ion was that the government had a compel- ling interest in preventing the appearance of corruption in politics. The reason it was important to curtail the appearance of such impropriety, according to the opinion, was to make sure that “confidence in the system of … Government is not to be eroded to a disastrous extent.” And how would we mea- sure confidence in the system? Through par- ticipation in elections or voter turnout. But compulsory voting turns an essential tool into a worthless statistic. According to Roberts, it’s a “call to arms” when voting levels are low; it indicates that something is wrong. But requiring voting does not solve the underlying problem that is causing low turnout. By passing a compulsory voting law, Roberts contended that you simply “wash your hands of [the problem]. And then you take away the signal. How now will you judge the health of our democ- racy if you’ve got no real way to figure out whether people buy into the system or not? Why would we expect any efforts to reform or change?” In other words, low voter turnout can help to illuminate problems in our democratic system; compulsory voting would make it difficult to recognize and respond to those same problems that we are trying to solve. Granted, no one is currently suggesting that we should make it a crime not to vote. But when we criticize each other for not participating in the democratic process, we should think about the logical conclusion of that argument, that participation in elections should be mandatory. It is definitely our right to vote — it’s a right that we should be proud and thankful to have. But compulsory voting is not the solution to our democracy’s problems. By all means, go out and vote tomorrow. However, if someone tells you they aren’t voting, let them not vote. It might just be in our best interest if we ever want to solve our government’s many problems. Nikolaides is a government and Spanish se- nior from Cincinnati. Low voter turnout can help to illuminate the problems in our democratic system; compulsory voting would make it difficult to … respond to [the] problems that we are trying to solve. The Daily Texan editorial board’s endorsements for Nov. 5 electionIllustration by Stephanie Vanicek / Daily Texan StaffOn Tuesday, the polls will open across Texas for a ballot election containing propositions that confront issues ranging from water planning to reverse mortgages. Students can vote on campus at the Flawn Academic Center and are required to bring a government-issued ID. Below are the endorsements of the Daily Texan editorial board for the Nov. 5 election. State constitutional amendmentsProposition 1The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for an exemption on from ad valorem tax on of all or part of the mar- ket value of the residence homestead of the sur- viving spouse of a member of the armed services of the United States who is killed in action. Vote yes. It’s always problematic to add another tax exemption to the long list of ex- emptions already available. Nevertheless, we support Proposition 1 because we believe the sacrifices made by military families make them deserving of the relief provided by this exemp- tion. Proposition 2The constitutional amendment eliminating an obsolete requirement for a State Medical Educa- tion Board and a State Medical Education Fund, neither of which is operational. Vote yes. Proposition 2, if approved, will eliminate an outdated, ineffective board that was originally created to encourage medical students to set up practice in rural areas. Al- though the state’s rural population needs better access to medical care, the board hasn’t issued a single new loan since 1989 and has been ef- fectively supplanted by other, more efficient measures. Voting yes will help streamline Texas government by doing away with an obsolete, toothless relic of another era. Proposition 3The constitutional amendment to authorize a political subdivision of this state to extend the number of days that aircraft parts that are ex- empt from ad valorem taxation due to their loca- tion in this state for a temporary period may be located in this state for purposes of qualifying for the tax exemption. Vote yes. While Texas relies heavily on property tax revenues to fund its operations, we encourage Longhorns to vote yes on this measure because the current time limit of 175 days unfairly burdens aircraft parts suppliers, who, because of industry turnover rates, often have to hold parts for longer periods of time. Extending the current limit to two years would allow businesses like San Marcos-based CFAN, which makes parts for Boeing jets, to remain competitive with out-of-state parts suppliers. Proposition 4The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of part of the market value of the residence homestead of a partially disabled veteran or the surviving spouse of a partially disabled veteran if the residence homestead was donated to the disabled veteran by a charitable organization. Vote yes. Again, it is always problematic to add another tax exemption to the long list of those available in the state. But we agree with the reasoning of state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, San Antonio, who stated (in a rebuttal to the suggestion of the Austin Chronicle to vote “no” on this proposition) that it sometimes happens that veterans are gifted homes by charitable or- ganizations and then lose these homes when they can not pay the required property taxes. Sen Van de Putte has reasoned that this amend- ment would prevent such tragedies from oc- curring, and we agree with her. Proposition 5The constitutional amendment to authorize the making of a reverse mortgage loan for the purchase of homestead property and to amend lender disclosures and other requirements in connection with a reverse mortgage loan. Vote yes. Proposition 5 was placed on the bal- lot after Senate Joint Resolution 18, authored by Sen. John Carona, R-Dallas and Rep. Mike Villarreal, D-San Antonio, passed the Texas Senate unanimously and received only one “no” vote in the Texas House. It provides Texas seniors with an alternate method of financ- ing their retirement and has been endorsed by AARP. Texas is currently the only state that does not provide this type of mortgage, and al- lowing the state to do so would be a relief to many Texas seniors who lack sufficient funds for retirement. Proposition 6The constitutional amendment providing for the creation of the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas and the State Water Implemen- tation Revenue Fund for Texas to assist in the financing of priority projects in the state water plan to ensure the availability of adequate water resources. Vote yes. This is the most important issue on the ballot this year. The proposed constitutional amendment would create a permanent fund to finance water management projects around the state, and would start it off with an investment of more than $2 billion from the state’s rainy day fund. Don’t let the recent floods fool you. Texas is suffering from a crippling drought, and experts predict a disastrous combination of skyrocketing population and dwindling fresh water resources over the next 50 years. If our state doesn’t spend tens of billions of dollars on maximizing the efficiency of its water use, it will be impossible to sustain a stable population here — let alone a successful economy. From rice farmers on the Colorado to ranchers on the I-35 corridor to the entire city of Austin, the number of people who depend on this measure passing is too great to ignore. Proposition 7The constitutional amendment authorizing a home-rule municipality to provide in its charter the procedure to fill a vacancy on its governing body for which the unexpired term is 12 months or less. Vote yes. Electing officials for terms of less than 12 months wastes taxpayer money on un- necessary elections and puts in place public of- ficials who lack the time necessary to perform their duty to the voters. Proposition 8The constitutional amendment repealing Sec- tion 7, Article IX, Texas Constitution, which relates to the creation of a hospital district in Hi- dalgo County. Vote yes. The enabling legislation for this medical district puts a cap of 10 cents per $100 valuation of taxable property on the dis- trict’s property tax rate. Other hospital districts around the state are allowed to levy a much higher tax rate. This, along with the county’s relatively small tax base, has long hampered the creation of a functional hospital district. Removing this limit will increase the chances of better medical care for Hidalgo County resi- dents. Proposition 9The constitutional amendment relating to expanding the types of sanctions that may be assessed against a judge or justice following a formal proceeding instituted by the State Com- mission on Judicial Conduct. Vote yes. As much as we’d like to think of our judges and justices as untouchable paragons of virtue, Texas judicial practice has shown that they are susceptible to the same corrupting in- fluences as the rest of us. Just two-and-a-half months ago, Abel Corral Limas, a former Texas state judge, was ordered by a U.S. district judge to pay restitution for selling favorable rulings. And this phenomenon is hardly a recent one. State District Judge O. P. Carrillo, who has been in the news again recently in relation to the investigation and possible impeachment of UT System Regent Wallace Hall, was im- peached and removed from the bench in 1976 for “schem[ing] to take Duval County taxpay- ers’ money through phony equipment rentals,” as the Amarillo Globe-News put it at the time. These breaches of the public’s trust must be taken seriously. While the State Commission on Judicial Conduct is currently authorized to censure or recommend the removal of a judge or justice, this amendment would add to that list the ability to “issue an order of public ad- monition, warning, reprimand, or requirement that the judge or justice obtain additional train- ing or education in addition to the currently authorized punitive sanctions,” according to the Texas Legislative Council. City of Austin Affordable Housing BondsProposition 1The issuance of $65,000,000 affordable hous- ing bonds and notes for constructing, renovating, improving, and equipping affordable housing for low income persons and families; acquiring land and interests in land and property necessary to do so; and funding affordable housing programs as may be permitted by law; and the levy of a tax sufficient to pay the bonds and notes. Vote yes. Austin’s proposed $65 million bonds would do a lot of good for the city’s low-income citizens, many of whom face great difficulty in meeting the state’s high- est housing prices. There’s a lot to like about the Affordable Housing Bonds. Despite crit- ics’ claims, they would not raise the city’s tax rate, and similar bonds in the past more than recuperated all the money spent. And helping the poor afford housing would encourage a more stable, prosperous community by allow- ing them to stay and contribute to the city’s economy without as much fear of losing their homes. We believe that no one should be ex- cluded from our city because of its exorbitant housing costs. The rest of us can do something to help those in need of affordable housing out by voting yes, and that’s what being a good neighbor is all about. HORNS UP: BILL WOULD REUNITE FAMILIES ACROSS BORDERSU.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-El Paso, and Rep. Steve Pearce, R-New Mexico, filed a bill Thursday that would allow for review of cases for families separated by im- migration laws. The bill would create an exception to a 1996 law that prohibits anyone who has falsely claimed to be a U.S. citizen or violated other immigration laws from ever entering the United States again. We applaud the two congressmen for their bipartisan effort to let families stay together despite strict im- migration restrictions. wide receivers junior Jaxon Shipley and sophomore Kendall Sanders combined. “We were challenging the guys, and somebody had to step up and make a differ- ence in the game and change their momentum in the sec- ond half,” Mack Brown said. Malcolm Brown carried the team offensively with four touchdowns, a career- high to mark his second consecutive multiple score performance. Brown had two touchdowns last week against TCU and credits his success to the offensive line. “We want to run tough ev- ery week,” Malcolm Brown said. “I think that the offen- sive line did a great job and made it a whole lot easier on me. I know we just want to ground those yards out and that is what we came out and did.” Before freshman quarter- back Tyrone Swoopes came in to replace him, senior quarterback Case McCoy recorded 20 completions for 196 yards. The senior was sacked for the first time in nine quarters and threw two interceptions in the win. “I thought Case did a good job of not getting frustrated when he had the turnovers that he had,” Mack Brown said. “He did a good job of leading the team in the sec- ond half when things weren’t going really well. [He had] a little adversity today but he stepped up and handled it very well.” After handling plenty of trouble to begin the season, Texas now has to handle success as it has won its last five games and sits atop the Big 12. “We really haven’t had success [this season],” Gray said. “We’re headed to suc- cess and we’re doing a great job right now. We’re climb- ing that ladder and getting better and better each week.” a short-yardage guy and goal line guy.” Run defense continues to produceFor the third straight game, Texas limited the opposing running game to fewer than four yards per carry. The Longhorns held Kan- sas to 140 yards on 36 car- ries, an average of just 3.9 yards per rush. Through five conference games, Texas is allowing an average of 126.2 rushing yards per game. Also noteworthy was Texas’ ability to slow down senior running back James Sims. After compiling a ca- reer-high 176 rushing yards against Texas last season, Sims managed just 48 yards on 15 carries Saturday. Receivers making playsTexas enjoyed a balanced attack in the receiving game against Kansas, with seven players recording a catch Saturday. Leading the way was ju- nior wide receiver Jaxon Shipley, who hauled in six passes for a team-high 77 yards. Sophomore running back/wide receiver Daje Johnson also performed well, tallying a career- high seven receptions for 46 yards. Sophomore wide receiver Marcus Johnson contin- ued his strong connection with senior quarterback Case McCoy, making three catches for 44 yards. John- son has registered 223 re- ceiving yards in his past three games, with four of his seven receptions over that stretch going for at least 31 yards. into-the-kicker penalty al- lowed the Longhorns to snag an early lead, but a team that had not won a Big 12 game in 24 straight opportunities played Texas well. This all changed at the 6:37 mark of the third quar- ter. With the ball in Texas territory, and the energy and momentum of the game funneling to the Jayhawks, the Longhorn front four made a play. Junior defensive end Cedric Reed swooped in off the edge, with senior defensive end Jackson Jeff- coat forcing his way around on the other side of the line. The pair converged toward Kansas quarterback Jake Heaps, and when Reed arrived first, he delivered a punishing blow, knock- ing the ball out of Heaps’ hands. That’s when op- portunistic senior defen- sive tackle Chris Whaley scooped up the ball, and, using his high school fea- ture back talents, streaked towards the end zone untouched. The defense’s touchdown sparked the Longhorns 21-0 run, and flipped the direc- tion of the contest, placing the game out of reach for an overmatched Kansas squad. “It changed momentum completely,” head coach Mack Brown said. “Some- body had to step it up and make a difference in the game and change their mo- mentum in the second half, and then after that it really wasn’t a game.” But that’s part of the issue for Texas. It never should have been a game against Kansas. The Jayhawks rank last or second to last in nearly every major statisti- cal category among Big 12 teams. Texas hasn’t fallen to Kansas since 1938. But for the second season in a row, the Longhorns skirt- ed dangerously close to being upset. Texas should not have al- lowed Kansas into the game. The Longhorns are infinitely more talented; Being their first home game in 44 days, the team should not have lacked for energy. The play- ers denied an absence of ef- fort early, but Brown could only speak for himself after the game. “I don’t know,” Brown said. “You’d have to ask them. There’s a whole bunch of them, so when you say en- ergy, that covers a big group. My energy was good.” The Longhorns aren’t good enough at this point to take teams lightly. Brown called this a “true trap game,” and he was right. But Texas can’t afford perfor- mances like these. Against any other Big 12 team this showing would have result- ed in a loss. It certainly would against the last three teams on the Longhorns’ schedule: Okla- homa State, Texas Tech and Baylor — all of whom are ranked. But that stretch is still a week away. First, Tex- as must travel to Morgan- town to face West Virginia for the first time. And if this game is a forewarning, the Longhorns better be ready to play.

JAYHAWKScontinues from page 6BROWNcontinues from page 6ENERGYcontinues from page 1It looks as though senior setter Hannah Allison has reclaimed her role as the starting setter of the top- ranked Longhorns. And she did so in a domi- nating fashion against the first ranked opponent Texas has faced since late September. Allison recorded a season- high 52 assists, while junior outside hitter Haley Eckerman logged a game-high 19 kills helping top-ranked Texas (17- 2, 10-0 Big 12) down No. 25 Oklahoma 3-1 (25-15, 25-17, 25-27, 25-21) on Saturday eve- ning in Norman to stay perfect in conference play and carry its win streak to 13 games. But Allison didn’t just set up teammates; She had kills and blocks. Allison tied sophomore middle blocker Molly McCage with a game- high eight blocks while re- cording four kills of her own. With a tight start to the game at 12-11, Texas pulled away from the Sooners (18-5, 6-3 Big 12) in the first game with an 11-2 run to take a 23- 13 lead behind Eckerman’s offense and the Sooners’ er- rors. The Longhorns wound up dominating, as they outhit the Sooners .355-.036. The second game wasn’t as close in the beginning. Texas built a quick 8-3 advantage as the Sooners struggled to find their way around the Texas block. Oklahoma battled back, cutting the lead to three at 17-14. Texas took the next two points before going on a 4-0 run to seal the match and take a 2-0 lead in the match. Oklahoma took the third game from Texas — the first time it has won a game against the Longhorns since Nov. 26, 2011 — as it held on to its ear- ly lead to squeak out a 27-25 win and force a fourth game. The Sooners started the game with consecutive aces before the Longhorns clawed their way back. But Texas was un- able to take advantage of their match point, while Oklahoma put theirs away. Texas went on a 7-3 run to close the fourth game and secure its 10th Big 12 win in as many tries. The Longhorns have a midweek bye before hosting Kansas on Saturday. Texas downs Oklahoma for second timeVOLLEYBALLBy Evan Berkowitz@Evan_BerkowitzSPORTSMonday, November 4, 20135 Among empty seats and a lethargic crowd, the Long- horns returned home Satur- day afternoon for their first home game in 44 days. After a sluggish start, Texas was able to grab its fifth Big 12 win of the sea- son, defeating Kansas 35-13. Highlighted by junior run- ning back Malcolm Brown and senior defensive tackle Chris Whaley, the Long- horns handed the Jayhawks their 26th consecutive Big 12 loss. “It’s a ‘W,’” head coach Mack Brown said. “We’ve won five straight. We’re 5-0 in the league. The objective was to get a ‘W.’ When you can win and have a lot of things to fix, I think it’s won- derful. Better than last year’s Kansas game, too.” The Longhorns failed to grab any points in the first quarter for the first time since their season opener but were able to stop the Jayhawks. Mistakes plagued both teams in the first half, as neither created much of- fensive production. Coming into the game as a 28-point favorite, Texas only led 14-3 at halftime. “They did some things we didn’t see on film, and it kind of got to us,” sopho- more running back Johna- than Gray said. “We had to regroup and come back at half time and just adjust. And that’s what we did.” Texas never fully pulled away from Kansas until the third quarter, as the Jayhawks tallied two field goals to keep them within striking distance for most of the game. The turning point came when junior defensive end Cedric Reed forced a fumble that was recovered by Whaley returned for six points, his second touch- down of the season. The for- mer running back also had a pick six against Oklahoma last month and currently has more touchdowns than 6 SPTSutrecsports.orgENTER NOWINTRAMURAL BASKETBALLTEAMWORKSTARTS HEREUT Campus Waller Creek Cleanup Rain falling on UT campus gets channeled to ‘storm drains’ which direct the storm water (rain) to Waller Creek and ultimately to Lady Bird Lake.

Jayhawk downBy Garrett Callahan@callahangarrettShelby Tauber / Daily Texan StaffSophomore running back/wide receiver Daje Johnson along with four other runners combined for 221 yards on the ground to lead the Longhorns past the Jayhawks on Saturday. The Jayhawks averaged just 3.9 yards per carry. The Longhorns improved to 5-0 in conference play with their 35-13 victory over Kansas. Here are three things worth noting from Saturday’s game: Malcolm Brown is backJunior running back Mal- colm Brown continued his scorching play Saturday, rushing for a career-high four touchdowns while racking up 119 yards on the ground. Brown has now rushed for 290 yards and six touch- downs in his last three con- tests after accumulating 53 yards with only one score in his first five games. His 100- yard effort on Saturday was his second of the season and the sixth of his career. Brown’s physical approach complements sophomore running back Johnathan Gray’s ability to work out- side the tackles, and he said he enjoyed searching for contact near the goal line against Kansas. “That is the type of run- ner I want to be,” Brown said. “These coaches, they want guys that are tough, like the contact and are not backing away from it.

Hall isn’t just the first women to accomplish this feat for the Long- horns, but the first for both sides. She won the 6,000-meter race with a career-best 19:38.3. The next closest was 10 sec- onds behind her. “I’m super excited,” Hall said in a statement. “Texas is all about history, tradition and upholding that, so just to be able to contribute to that is such an honor.” Hall, who will go down as one of the best distance runners in Texas his- tory, now owns three of the seven top-10 finishes in the Big 12 champion- ships, and the only one to do it twice. Despite Hall’s perfor- mance, the Longhorns could only muster a fourth-place team finish as Iowa State took home the crown. —Evan BerkowitzSPORTS BRIEFLYBCS Poll: 1. Alabama2. Florida State3.

Darren Spohn and his wife Mikki opened Pinballz in 2010 and have provided Aus- tin with its pinball fix ever since. Spohn has run tech and IT companies in town for 15 years, but his love for pinball machines began long before that. “I asked my wife ‘Do you mind if I get a pinball ma- chine?’ and she said ‘Oh, that’s fine,’” Spohn said. “I bought it and I said ‘Well, I actually bought two,’ and then like a week later we’re out at lunch, and I said ‘Hey, I’ve got to tell you — I have seven of these now,’ and it just kind of blossomed from there.” What began as a personal collection has now grown to more than 100 pinball machines and a cadre of old-school video and ticket- rewarding games. “We really felt that the town needed something different like that,” Spohn said. “It needed a kind of cool, ‘Cheers bar’ approach to running one of those. And we figured we’d give it a shot, and we opened it three years ago, and it’s been very successful.” Pinballz is family-oriented during the day, but when the sun goes down, the atmo- sphere gets downright adult. Gamers stay late into the night on weekends, which may or may not be aided by the casual BYOB policy for those 21 and older. A specialized arcade such as Pinballz did not exist in Austin outside of giant fam- ily entertainment centers. With more than 200 games, the biggest challenge facing the arcade is simply keeping everything run- ning, from AC/DC pinball to Dance Dance Revolution and from the classic Skeeball to a custom-built big screen Street Fighter. “We have over 100 games and things go constantly wrong on those,” Spohn said. “We don’t charge a lot of mon- ey for our games, so it’s a chal- lenge with what we charge to keep everything running at 95 percent or higher.” William “Billy” Renquen has worked on these games since the arcade opened. A certified master auto-me- chanic by trade, Renquen keeps the flippers flipping at Pinballz in addition to running his own auto-shop. “When we first opened three years ago, they were running maybe 60-70 per- cent, and I was fixing five to seven games a day,” Renquen said. “It took me about a year to catch up and have all of them running at once.” Machines go down daily at Pinballz, and it’s up to Renquen and his team to get them back up. “The machines are high maintenance,” Renquen said. “They vibrate a lot. There’s a lot of movement going on, so they fail pretty constantly — some more than others. You just work as fast as you can and as hard as you can … It’s a pride thing for me to keep them all running.” Pinballz harkens to the early days of arcade gam- ing. It’s not merely the games that bring back nos- talgia for an era the college generation missed. “To us it’s rewarding that we brought in a place like that — that really ramps up Austin,” Spohn said. “It’s that really cool feeling that we brought something unique to Austin.” SARAH-GRACE SWEENEY, LIFE&ARTS EDITOR / @DailyTexanArts8Monday, November 4, 2013Pinballz provides gamer heavenBy Elizabeth Williams@bellzabethHelen Fernandez / Daily Texan StaffCertified master auto-mechanic Billy Renquen shows the inside of a pinball machine at Pinballz Arcade.
