Trailing 20-0, Texas regains lead before Andrews’ late touchdown By Trenton Daeschner Assoc. Sports Editor It was all set up to be the per- fect coming out party for irst-year head coach Tom Herman and the Longhorns. For a long-struggling program with nothing but seven years of frus- tration to dwell on, this was the stage where things could have changed. Texas already had its so-called mor- al victory in a double-overtime loss to then-No. 4 USC a month ago. Af- ter that, the narrative changed. And amid the atypical shad- ows that overwhelmed the Cotton Bowl deep into Saturday aternoon’s AT&T Red River Showdown, the entire outlook for the Longhorns could have changed. But a few crucial mistakes by the Longhorns in the closing minutes dampened any hope of a signa- ture win. Texas walked of the ield on Saturday with the only thing that mattered — a 29-24 loss to No. 12 Oklahoma. “Much like week three, there’s no moral victories, especially when it’s against these guys,” Herman said. he Longhorns came out lat on Saturday and spent much of the irst half just trying to ind their bear- ings. Oklahoma sprinted out to a 20-0 lead in the second quarter and took a 20-10 lead into haltime. Texas’ defense struggled through- out the irst half, giving up big plays and missing tackles, while the of- fense sputtered. he Sooners out- gained Texas 342 yards to 139 in the opening 30 minutes. Oklahoma senior quarterback Baker Mayield gave Longhorn defenders its. Texas’ pass rush struggled to get home, and even when it came close, Mayield’s elusiveness prevailed. “We were tired,” junior linebacker Malik Jeferson said. “hey had us on the ropes.” he Longhorns didn’t grab the CAMPUS POLICE Humanity First ights stigma of homelessness with care packages FOOTBALL page 3 Running back Kyle Porter sprints the ball into the end zone after a 16-yard reception for Texas’ irst touchdown. gabriel lopez| daily texan staff APD rolls out body camera program, outits oicers By Reagan Ritterbush Senior Reporter he Austin Police De- partment is rolling out body cameras to oicers this week, APD Chief Brian Manley said in a Friday announcement. “he community is go- ing to get what it has long desired, which is to view police activity,” Manley said in a Friday press conference. “It is a good tool for (APD) to have as well so we know what we are doing is not only appropriate, but that it is working as far as training, techniques and tactics go.” APD purchased body 736 cameras Axon through federal and state grants. he irst 198 cam- eras will be rolled out to oicers serving APD’s East Substation this week, Man- ley said.

UT Brainstorms panel holds talk on autism By John Melendez News Reporter Having a limited scope of in- terests and repeating behaviors are sometimes signs exhibited in people with autism, said neurol- ogy assistant professor Audrey Brumback during a panel about autism on Saturday. The panel was part of a public outreach and educational program by the De- partment of Neurology called UT Brainstorms. and “(Behaviors interests) range from being an expert in a micro topic, like the train sys- tem in Paris in the early 1900s, to enjoying different sensory as- pects of objects,” Brumback said. “These are some examples of the types of behaviors that myself and a clinician ask about when a child comes to my clinic and the parent asks, ‘Does my child have autism?’” The conversation was open to the public and about 150 people sat in. Brumback specializes in the evaluation and treatment of children with autism and relat- ed neurodevelopmental disabil- ities. She emphasized one of the challenges in diagnosing autism is that it is a case-by-case basis through observed or reported behavior. “(The challenges for someone that’s autistic) can range from having that tag on the back of your shirt be so distracting that you can’t focus on the other parts of your life to (not) being able to look at somebody and also hear what they’re saying at the same time,” Brumback said. Neuroscience freshman Lillian Jackson has a cousin with autism and said she felt the information would be useful in her life. She said the conversation opened her eyes to the struggles children with autism face. “Growing up, you don’t really understand Jackson (autism),” said. “I think other children can be more critical of their peers, so I can understand how that’s hard, a child growing up with autism and not really understanding why they’re treated differently.” Brumback spoke about develop- ing autism treatment in the realm UTA’s accessibility model showcased in new PCL exhibit By Meara Isenberg News Reporter Before the 1970s, K-12 grade schools and col- leges had no legal obli- gation to admit or serve disabil- students with ‘60s, ities. In the early UT-Arlington students took it upon themselves to advocate for a more accessible campus. The Building a Bar- rier-Free Campus ex- hibit, which started last Wednesday, highlights to UT-Arlington’s path becoming a model acces- sible campus for students with disabilities through quotes and images. The exhibit will be available to visit in the Perry-Castañe- da Library until Oct. 23. “hey asked me to do this back in 2014, and I very willingly said, ‘Let me see what we can ind,’” exhibit co-curator Sarah Rose said at an opening round table last Wednesday. “We found there was actually a whole lot more history. It was a lot of diferent people who had been pushing for basically the right to go to college, the right to be integrated.” he exhibit chronicles the UTA students who founded a Handicap Stu- dents Association in 1968 and pressed UTA admin- istration to make campus more accessible to disabled students. hey invited UTA President Wendell Ned- derman to navigate the campus in a wheelchair, giving him a new per- spective on the challenges students faced. The exhibit lauds in- dividuals like Jim Hayes, who broke his neck in 1967 and went on to at- tend UTA and draft a 52- page proposal on how to make campus more acces- sible. Hayes also founded The Freewheelers basket- ball club at UTA for dis- abled students, advocating for them to have the same opportunities their able-bodied classmates. as “hese are the peo- ple that changed our lives, and I think if you don’t know your history, you don’t know where you’re said heading,” Chase Bearden, director of advocacy and com- for munity organizing the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities. Current UT student body president Alejandrina Guzman, who uses an elec- tric wheelchair, recognized the importance of a campus with resources for disabled students her freshman year when she got stuck in a building ater a club meet- ing because the wheelchair accessible door would not work. Since being involved in UT student government, Guzman has gotten dis- ability accessible buttons installed on administra- tive doors in the regis- tration office, Division of Diversity and Community Engagement office and in the undergraduate office. She said it’s the student’s voice the that makes greatest impact. “If it’s a student, the student really voice matters,” Guzman said. “There’s a lot of work to be done. Keep on speaking out, and keep pushing back.” ashley ephraim| daily texan staff Business management and education student, Shalom Hernandez and friend attend the Barrier-Free Campus roundtable and exhibit at the PCL on Wednesday, October 4th.

In her talk, Dr. Brumback discussed gene variations as causes of autism and potential treatments for the disorder. of brain circuitry, or how parts of the brain communicate with one another through neurons. Biology freshman Eduardo Castro found the scientific ad- vances regarding autism to be reassuring. “I think the developments they’ve made so far can be used for therapeutic reasons,” Castro said. “By doing that kind of re- search, it takes them a step fur- ther into knowing how to treat it.” Brumback finished the Brain- storm on a positive note. “What I’m showing you here really gives me hope that if we can increase or decrease the ac- tivity of (neurons), then we may be able to treat multiple differ- ent versions of this disorder us- ing these circuit level therapies,” Brumback said.

She encouraged them to work with student services to get the accommodations needed to travel abroad. Students share experiences of studying abroad By Emily O’toole Reporter In honor of Disability Awareness Month, Services for Students with Disabilities hosted an informational ses- sion for students with disabili- ties on hursday to share their experiences studying abroad, keeping in mind the theme of “See the Able, Not the Label.” Education and business se- nior Shalom Hernandez, who is in a wheelchair, traveled to Barcelona this past sum- mer to intern for a non-proit teaching students. Hernandez said she encountered obsta- cles abroad, but they didn’t impede her from having a fulilling experience. “Europe is not that ac- commodating for people with disabilities,” Hernan- dez said. “Especially physical disabilities because everything is so old. I knew I could do it because I asked for help. I was only there six weeks, but I had stuf to do every day, every weekend there.” he most vital aspect of a student with a disability being able to study abroad is com- munication, Hernandez said. “I’m very open about my disability,” Hernandez said. “You have to reach out. You really need to be very speciic because people don’t know if you don’t tell them.” Laura Kaplan, academic program coordinator in the International Oice, said UT ofers a wide variety of pro- grams and access to ailiate companies abroad that can be more accommodating to students with disabilities. “We have over 400 pro- grams in 80 countries,” Ka- plan said. “We can dig a little bit deeper to learn about ac- commodations in a country and igure out what would be feasible, (but) ailiate provid- ers generally do ofer a high- er level of support than an exchange program.” Zoe Colaluca, a commu- nication sciences and dis- junior, who hopes orders to study in New Zealand or Australia, said she feels she can study abroad despite hav- ing to use a walker ater this informational session. “I hadn’t really considered studying abroad that much until now, because accessibil- ity is an issue obviously,” Co- laluca said. “But I feel better informed now.” Hernandez said learning how to deal with diicult sit- uations abroad taught her to focus on the positives of her experiences, like working with children and learning from her colleagues. “Being disabled, we are go- ing to encounter some prob- lems,” Hernandez said. “Ev- erywhere in the world, people can be rude. here are going to be people like that, but the majority of the time people will be generous and want- ing to help you. You’re going to be ine, you’re going to get through it.” 6210/Jimmy Johns c/o Flytedesk; Process color 6, 2017 Monday, October 16, 2017 3 Rutgers professor talks truth about North Korea WORLD By Brooke Sjoberg News Reporter Not everything is as it seems when it comes to North Korea, said Suzy Kim, an associate professor of Korean history at Rutgers University. In a presentation on Friday titled “North Korea: Beyond Fake News,” Kim described a discrepancy between the way North Korea is portrayed in Ameri- can media and what she believes history proves otherwise. She related this concept to her 2013 book, “Everyday Life in the North Korean Revolution, 1945-1950,” and inaccurate media portrayal. “On the one hand, it’s not an entire- ly new phenomenon,” Kim said. “In the sense that as far back as higher education goes, there’s always been an attempt to educate students in the classroom about how to evaluate sources … what kinds of sources are valid sources as opposed to what kinds are not.” Kim proposed that there were common instances of inaccurate news regarding the country since its division in 1945. Ideas that North Korea starves its own people, is a failed or evil regime and its citizens are the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and so there was no real need to talk about it.” Once the Cold War ended in the rest of the world, it saw the continuing nuclear crisis erupt, Kim said. “When you hear about North Korea relying on its ideology, that it’s autarchic, that it doesn’t want to look outside its bor- ders, a lot of it is because of its historical experience in the 20th century,” Kim said. Having done previous research on North Korea, linguistics freshman Maris- sa Hauser said she wanted to see how her research stacked up against research from an expert in the ield. “here are a lot of misconceptions loating around in the media,” Hauser said. “We need to take everything with a grain of salt, keeping in mind which lens information is being presented through.” freshman Undeclared Martha Avila said she attended the discus- sion at the recommendation of her government professor. “I found it interesting to just hear a talk about North Korea,” Avila said. “We don’t know a lot, and some things that we do know aren’t completely true.” Suzy Kim, associate professor of Korean history from Rutgers University, explains how the media has created misconceptions about North Korea. Kim believes that it is important for people to take into account all of the facts and not just believe what the media shows us. alissa jae lazo-kim| daily texan staff “brainwashed” were examples Kim said were misrepresented in the media. “Most of what Americans are familiar with when we think about North Korea comes from the 1990s, which is when North Korea entered the American news,” Kim said. “Before that, otentimes North Korea was perceived as being a puppet of FOOTBALL continues from page 1 lead until there was 8:01 let to play in the game.

Instead, Ehlinger did what he’s become accus- tomed to doing — made a play. he true freshman put his foot on the gas and sprint- ed into the end zone for an eight-yard touchdown. “Sam just has that passion,” sophomore safety Brandon Jones said. “He’s just an ani- mal on the ield.” An extra point put Texas up 24-23. he coming out party started to feel tangible. But on the ensuing pos- session, Mayield and Okla- homa quickly quelled the Longhorns’ hopes. Tight end Mark Andrews broke free down the sideline, and May- ield hit him for a 59-yard touchdown pass. “hat was deinitely a cov- erage bust,” Jeferson said. “I Q1 0 Q2 Q3 Q4 FINAL 10 77 24 10 10 3 6 29 Texas Longhorns Oklahoma Sooners think guys had their eyes in the wrong place.” Oklahoma went for two but failed to convert, and the Sooners were back in front at 29-24. With just under seven min- utes to play, the game was back in the hands of Ehlinger. On a 1st-and-10 at Texas’ 46-yard line, Ehlinger was tackled to the ground hard and hit his head as he bolt- ed out of bounds for a two- yard rush. he hit knocked Ehlinger out of the game for ive plays, as sophomore Shane Buechele illed in at quarterback. By the time Ehlinger re- turned to the ield, Texas faced a 2nd-and-17 at Okla- homa’s 38-yard line. On 4th- and-13 from Oklahoma’s 34, and with the game hanging in the balance, Ehlinger was forced to scramble for what seemed like an eterni- ty, only to eventually throw the ball away for a turnover on downs. Oklahoma had it back with 1:52 to play, with Texas’ hopes of winning all but oicially over. Ater the game, the talk from the Longhorns (3–3, 2–1 Big 12) was very similar to what it was following the loss a month ago to USC. On Saturday at the Cot- ton Bowl, a lot could have changed. But Texas still let wondering when the coming out party will happen. “Oh, we’re so close,” Jef- ferson said. “Everybody sees it, and they know it. (We) had people so nervous on the other side of the ball. It was crazy.” HUMANITY continues from page 1 Robert Diaz, an aerospace sophomore engineering and Humanity First oicer. “It’s not the biggest concern here in Austin, even though there’s such a huge popula- tion that is homeless.” Humanity First, a UT student ser- community vice organization, prepared the packages, consisting of sandwiches, hygiene prod- ucts, bottled water and en- couragement notes. he packages were dis- tributed to homeless people waiting outside the Front Steps homeless shelter, said Lila Al-Kassem, adminis- trative director of Human- ity First.

It’s an amazing experience.” Public health freshman Eshani Kishore said events like this are important be- cause college students oten live in a bubble and forget about the outside world. “hese events remind us of the importance of giving back and doing little things that, to us, might not seem that signiicant,” Kishore said. “Like writing notes on postcards is not really a big deal for us, but it does mean a lot to other people.” mu- d dis- opes d or s she e hav- r this ered uch ibil- ” Co- etter ning t sit- r to f her g with rom e go- rob- “Ev- ople oing t the ople want- ing o get katie bauer| daily texan staff Texas inside linebacker Anthony Wheeler wraps up Oklahoma running back Trey Sermon on a carry in Dallas during Saturday’s 29-24 result.

Oi- cers will also have to inform people they interact with that they are being recorded unless doing so would make the encounter less safe.” “One of the reasons we waited so long to start the camera program here in Austin is we wanted to make sure we have a program that works for us.” —Brian Manley, Austin Police Department Chief Brent Dupre, commander of the APD’s technology di- vision, said the cameras are easy to use and have a series of indicators on them that let oicers know if it’s on and functioning properly. “Oicers will be in charge of their camera and its maintenance,” Dupre said. “We are very proud of the equipment and how long the battery life lasts.” APD will be cooperating with the open records reten- tion laws in regards to keep- ing camera footage, Man- ley said. he department will allow 181 days ater a video is recorded before it is deleted. he second round of roll- outs is scheduled for Nov. 4, with 234 cameras going to oicers at APD’s main head- quarters. he third round will start on Dec. 4, with of- icers at APD’s South Substa- tion receiving 228 cameras.

Rick Perry beseeched his fellow Texans to pray. It was 2011, and a cata- clysmic drought was affecting the state. The one-time “Dancing with the Stars” contestant knew just what to do. He prayed, and he urged millions of Texans to pray with him. The Almighty must have been preoccupied at the time — he didn’t answer Texans’ prayers for six years. When God finally found the time to answer those millions of prayers, Tex- as experienced a deluge of biblical pro- portions: Hurricane Harvey. Texas’ Rainy Day Fund, or the Texas Economic Stabilization Fund, is a state savings account. Although its main function is to serve as a financial fall- back in times of want, it should be used to respond to disasters. During the drought of the early 2010s, Perry with- drew $2 billion from Texas’ Rainy Day Fund to bankroll water projects. On Aug. 29, Cedar Bayou recorded 51.88 inches of rain. It was the rainiest day in the history of the continental United States. Perry used the Rainy Day Fund during Texas’ driest days. Gov. Greg vAbbott must do likewise after Texas’ rainiest. But he isn’t. Not yet. Houston mayor Sylvester Turner in- sisted that the state tap into the fund immediately. Else, Turner declared, he’d have no choice but to introduce a one- year $50 million tax, which would inev- itably fall on many of Harvey’s victims. On average, taxes would be increased by $48 per household — households that still bear the scars of the hurri- cane. To avert this, the state must act without delay. It’s procrastinating. The Texas Constitution stipulates that the state cannot withdraw Rainy Day funds without the support of two-thirds of the Texas Legislature. Although the Legislature does not meet until 2019, Abbott has the power to call a special session of the Legislature. Alas, Abbott has stated that he will not do so. But, there is a way around those pesky, bureaucratic rules: the bureaucracy. According to the Texas Tribune, the state’s Legislative Budget Board can re- allocate money “from state agencies to relief efforts” and “replace that money with funds from the rainy day fund when The state could spare the peo- ple of Houston with ease. It should. The legislative board must reallocate funds to the people of Houston. Let the state reimburse the agencies later.” lawmakers return in January 2019.” The state could spare the people of Houston with ease. It should. The leg- islative board must reallocate funds to the people of Houston. Let the state re- imburse the agencies later. Its failure to make immediate use of the Rainy Day Fund in the aftermath of its rainiest day is tragically misguided. The largest city in Texas is still reel- ing — it needs the state’s assistance. Its mayor still needs support. So support him. Its people still need help. So help them. Its government still needs funds. So fund it. You — yes you, bureaucrats and legislators — used Texas’ Rainy Day Fund during a drought. Surely you must use it after a rainy day. is a history sophomore Howell from Dallas. GALLERY 4 Monday, October 16, 2017 COLUMN States like Texas can no longer deny access to abortions By Josie MacLean Senior Columnist he rules for shelters contracted with the Oice of Refugee Resettlement, laid out in 2014, are quite clear on the matter of access to women’s health care for un- accompanied minors. Victims of sexu- al abuse in the ORR’s care are entitled to “timely, unimpeded access to emergency medical treatment, crisis intervention ser- vices, emergency contraception.” he American Civil Liberties Union will undoubtedly refer to this policy in their current ight to allow Jane Doe, a 17-year- old immigrant to Texas, access to abor- tion care in the face of ORR director Scott Lloyd’s direct interference in her case. Doe’s case is a microcosm of a greater Lloyd has no place to impose his own religious beliefs on the children in his care as a representative of the federal government.” religious debate surrounding abortion ac- cess in America. But, unlike challenges to other recent state legislation, Doe’s right to access an abortion while in federal care is clearly stated by the law and must not be denied. he American Medical Association, the authority on patient-physician protocol, released a statement at the conclusion of Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt that made it clear that professional medical standards include access to abortion care. Furthermore, if the shelter at which the unaccompanied minor is being housed has a conlict providing such services, the rules are clear that the ORR is to provide the service another way — even going as far as to “also coordinate transportation to and from the location where the services are provided.” In Jane Doe’s case, even ater she received the necessary judicial bypass allowing her to access care without parental consent, the facility at which she’s being held refused to allow her to travel to receive her abortion. Instead, they took her to visit a crisis pregnancy center where she was subjected to a medically unnecessary sonogram and likely counseled against the choice to have an abortion. Lori DeVillez is the founder and executive director of Austin Pregnan- cy Resource Center, a pro-life facility of the same type but unrelated to Doe’s case, that provides resources for women facing unplanned pregnancies who decide to carry to term. “I’m not even sure why she was taken to a (crisis pregnancy resource center),” DeV- illez told me regarding Doe’s case. Emails published by the American Civil Liberties Union, straight from Scott Lloyd, blatantly support the actions of the facility. “Clinician should work to identify any pres- sures that might be leading her desire to ter- mination … Along these same lines, let’s make sure she is aware of the option of having spiri- tual counseling that is sensitive to her religious preference,” Lloyd wrote in an email. Lloyd’s directions, and the center’s deci- sion to inform Doe’s mother of her choice to terminate the pregnancy, show a blatant disregard for Ms. Doe’s right to obtain an abortion.

As part of the executive branch, his job is to enforce the existing laws and policies of the U.S. government, which are exceedingly clear on how his organization should conduct itself in this situation.

LAURA HALLAS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF @TexanOpinion COLUMN We must be willing to recognize our double standards By Elizabeth Braaten Columnist Kneeling is not acceptable. Fire or suspend. Find something else to do. These are just a few of the criticisms President Donald Trump fired off in reaction to black men throughout the NFL taking a knee during the nation- American society shuns black people when they draw atten- tion to the systemic inequality that they experience every day, yet cheer on a white man as he slams the president with profane language. The differ- ence? Skin color.” al anthem, using their platform as a means to peacefully protest racial in- equality and police brutality in the United States. This protest led to thousands of fans boycotting the league, resulting in ratings sliding down a stunning 15 percent from last year. However, when Eminem released his anti-Trump free- style, “The Storm,” last week, in which he referred to the president as a bitch, a racist and a kamikaze, he was celebrat- ed by many Americans, showered in millions of shares, retweets and praise from national news media. American society shuns black people when they draw attention to the sys- temic inequality that they experience every day, yet cheer on a white man as he slams the president with profane language. The difference? Skin color. Eminem is not saying anything new — he is giving a white voice to what people of color have been expressing since Trump initiated his presidential campaign. However, unlike people of color, the rapper’s white privilege gives him the platform to comfortably ex- press his opinions without having to worry that his position or success will be threatened. In the days following the release of “The Storm,” an estimated 2.1 mil- lion tweets were posted in response to the video. Not a single one of them came from Trump. Meanwhile, Col- in Kaepernick has been without a job since the 2016 NFL season because he chose to take a stand on racial in- equality, and SportsCenter host Jemele Hill received two weeks suspension by ESPN for her support of NFL players taking a knee after the White House called for her to be fired. Eminem’s race does not take away the value of what he says. But the fact that our society feels comfortable ignoring the problems people of color face in this country until a white person says something about it is deeply troubling and problematic. We must be willing to lend the same ear and support to those that are marginalized as we do to those who speak from a position of power if we wish to ever mitigate America’s leg- acy of racial discrimination. My white privilege allows me to write this without fear that I will be attacked for it, certain that I will be taken somewhat seriously by my audience. Our society, both con- sciously and unconsciously, places a higher value on white voices than it does on those of people of color, and only when we acknowledge this can we begin to give those voices the platform they deserve. In a country with a bloody history of slavery and genocide, racial privilege probably won’t be destroyed. However, we can begin to create safer spaces for peo- ple of all colors by committing to the understanding that skin color leads to an uneven distribution of privi- lege within society. Acknowledgment alone can make all the difference.

Upper Reality gets real on newest EP UT alumna ights sexism, racism in “Play Pretend” MORGAN O’HANLON LIFE&ARTS EDITOR @thedailytexan MUSIC By Sofia Mendiola L&A Reporter Electro-soul artist Upper Reality says listening to her music is like having a conver- sation with her. hose who do take a listen will hear an abun- dance of bass, smooth beats and raw emotion. UT alumna Jessica Bathea, who takes the stage name Up- per Reality, grew up in a pre- dominately white Frisco, Tex- as, where she found diiculty being seen as anything past her skin color. During her irst year at UT, Bathea said she realized the en- vironment was equally oppres- sive, and became motivated to write about the racial issues she still faced as a student. “hat’s a big driving force in having to speak about that as well,” Bathea said. “here was always this type of coercion of the people in power who wanted you to be silent, and I am very afected by that based on a human interaction way.” In addition to the underly- ing racial themes of her mu- sic, Bathea’s art has also been afected by tragedy. Toward the end of her freshman year, Bathea faced a diicult time within her family when her father died. Bathea said her father’s pass- ing impacted her more than she let on, but it sealed the deal over the life she was going to have to live as an artist. “here is no way I was go- ing to experience a trauma like that and try to funnel myself into this mold of corporate success,” Bathea said. “It would have been just way too much.” Chris Hamborsky, a friend Bathea met during her fresh- man year, said much of your into identity can be your parents. tied “In any kind of event like that, it forces you to create an identity for yourself as independent,” Ham- more borsky said. “his has kind of CLASSIFIEDS; Black illustration by rachel tyler| daily texan staff reassured who (Bathea) was as an individual.” A year and half later, to- wards the middle of her junior year in 2015, Bathea released her irst EP ever, Before I Go. his was an opportunity for Bathea to introduce herself as an artist, and make peo- ple come together through her talent. Bathea said one particular song, “IDGAF (Deep in Ocean Air),” was recorded right be- fore her father’s passing. When Bathea released the song a year and a half later, she said artists persevere through these dii- cult obstacles. “hat song is really signal- ing that I am in control of my situation,” Bathea said. “I am not going to be led down a path others assumed I would go down to.” Hamborsky said through- out the years, Bathea has been less apologetic about who she is and believes one can witness that through her music. “She to sound like anyone else or be is not trying anyone else,” Hamborsky said. “She is 100 percent who she is, and I think that has only become stronger.” In the spring of 2016, Bathea studied at the Univer- sity of Cape Town in South Africa. She said the people there inspired her with their willingness to ight for the lives they needed. When she returned to UT ater this experience, Bathea felt people concerned them- selves more about their repu- tation and less about ighting for real initiatives. She used her second EP, Silver, to convey these emotions last November. “I wanted people to feel cleansed ater listening to my music, but at the same time I wanted them to perceive the frustration I was having with the world,” Bathea said. On Oct. 19 Bathea will be releasing her third EP, the self-titled Upper Reality. Al- most a year ater her last EP, she said she continues to heal from the passing of her father through her musical journey. 5 Monday, October 16, 2017 everything that she needed to make a really good ilm.” Along with creating a ilm to combat racial discrimination, Dimayuga made a point in hiring a mostly female crew in the ilm’s production not only to increase the authenticity of the ilm’s female characters, but also to create more op- portunities for women in the ilm industry. “If you’re in a position where you can provide op- portunities to other people, it’s more about really want- ing to see the change you would like to see in the indus- try and making it yourself,” Dimayuga said. Ater putting in over a year of work, “Play Pretend” will bring its message to screen in front of an audience of ilm- makers at the Austin Under the Stars ilm festival on Sat- urday, Oct. 21 alongside 27 other ilms. Festival director Ali Alkh- afaji said the motto of the fes- tival is to “make ilm festivals fun again” in comparison to the chaotic feel of festivals like Austin City Limits or SXSW. he venue will showcase live music before and ater the ilms and local food. “his event is more about bringing things back to the community, getting more people involved with the ilm school and up-and-coming ilmmakers,” Alkhafaji said. “he idea of making ilm fes- tivals fun again is really just focusing on the networking aspect of it.” hough the ilm festival is new, it has managed to draw international attention with over 200 submissions from across the globe. “It was nice to be able to se- lect the best of the best, and it was a testament to some of the ilmmakers of Austin that got in because they were going up against the best of the world, people from Sweden, China, Japan, Australia and Russia,” Alkhafaji said. For Dimayuga, the festi- val’s prominence makes her spot on the rundown an even bigger honor. “I looked at all the other people that got accepted and these are all Tribeca ilm nomi- nees, people from China, ilm- makers from New York. his is an international ilm festival and my ilm got chosen which is mind-blowing to me,” Di- mayuga said. “I’m really lucky that I even got accepted into this festival.” noel mahouch| daily texan staff RTF graduate Madeline Dimayuga, center, tackled racism and sexism through a mostly-female crew creating a touch- ing story of a little girl ighting racism. Play Pretend was inaugurated for the Austin Under the Stars Film Festival and is set to screen on Saturday, October 21. FILM By Andrea Tinning Senior L&A Reporter Going up against sexism in the ilm industry might feel like a monster too big for one person to tackle, but one ra- dio-television-ilm alumna is preparing for a battle of cine- matic proportions, while also ighting racism. R adio-tele vision-f ilm graduate Madeline Dimayu- ga wrote and directed “Play Pretend,” a ilm completed last July, which was accept- ed into the inaugural Austin Under the Stars ilm festival with a nomination for best narrative short. Dimayuga said she drew experience from personal when writing story, the which centers around an Asian-American girl who con- fronts racism in her elementa- ry school with the help of her teddy bear. “I really wanted to make something diferent, and the only way I could make some- thing diferent is if I pulled from my own experience,” Dimayuga said. Although the story’s mes- sage tackles a complex subject, Dimayuga wrote it with chil- dren in mind. “I think that adults un- derstand the nuance of it a lot more, but I’d really love for kids to watch it and ask questions because the most important part of the ilm is starting a conversation,” Dimayuga said. hough not inished until later on, radio-telvision-ilm professor Nancy Schiesari said she encouraged Dimayuga to pursue production of “Play Pretend” ater she irst pitched it in Schiesari’s intro to narrative production class. “I really encouraged her to make it as an independent project,” Schiesari said. “he way she presented the ilm was so visual, and she had MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS Stop Sabotaging Eating Habits in 90 days or Less!

I felt ine.” In the meantime, sopho- more quarterback and for- mer starter Shane Buechele took of his headset, buck- led his helmet and took the reins of the Longhorn of- fense –– temporarily. With Texas trailing No. 12 Oklahoma, 29-24, and just over 5:00 remaining in the game, Buechele strung together a pair of comple- tions and an eight-yard rush to put Texas 31 yards away from giving his team the lead while Ehlinger at- tempted to watch from the trainer’s tent on the sideline. “here’s actually a little katie bauer| daily texan staff Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger stiff arms Oklahoma strong safety Steven Parker during a scramble in Texas’ 29-24 loss to Oklahoma in Dallas.

With everything going on and the crowd I was like, ‘I’m good, 93, c’mon.’” With the Longhorns setup with a irst down on the 31- yard line, the tent collapsed and Ehlinger returned to the sideline. Ehlinger watched on from the sideline as Buechele dropped back, but Buechele didn’t have much time before he nearly lost the ball ater getting sacked. Buechele regained pos- session, and Herman quick- ly called a timeout. he of- fense huddled on the ield with 2:42 remaining in the ballgame, then the crowd applauded Ehlinger as emerged from the huddle. Ehlinger didn’t lead the team to a touchdown. In fact, he threw the ball out of bounds on fourth down, handing the ball over to Oklahoma. So it begged the question: Did Herman consider leav- ing Buechele in the game? “There was (consider- ation),” Herman said. “But I think when the guy’s played three-and-a-half quarters and is in the rhythm he’s in, if he’s cleared, you’re going to put him back in the ballgame.” VOLLEYBALL By Justin Martinez Sports Reporter At last, the Longhorns could inally see the inish line. Ater traveling 900 miles and play- ing two matches in six days, No. 5 Texas returned to the 40 Acres on Saturday to close out its hec- tic week, sweeping No. 23 Iowa State, 3-0. here were no signs of fatigue from the Longhorns as they jumped out to a 13-8 run in the irst set, sparked by three kills of the hand of senior outside hitter Ebony Nwanebu. Texas kept its foot on the gas, securing the 25-16 win. Set two saw little change as the Cy- clone ofense struggled to muster a run of its own. Senior middle blocker Chiaka Ogbogu dominated the front lines, re- cording two blocks in the set and hold- ing Iowa State to a hitting percentage of just .067. Nwanebu continued her strong out- ing, tacking on another ive kills to her total as the Longhorns claimed the second set, 25-17. “We did what we were supposed to from the scouting report,” head coach Jerritt Elliott said. “We were playing really good defense be- hind the block and were scoring at a high level.” Iowa State found its rhythm in the third set, though, bursting out of the gate for a quick 4-0 lead and forcing Texas to burn a timeout. “I think the atmosphere on the court wasn’t as high as it was in the irst two sets,” Nwanebu said. “We kind of let up and they got up on us. As a team, we decided to turn it around, started going hard like we did the irst two sets.” Elliott’s timeout worked. Texas came out of the huddle with a re- newed intensity, stringing togeth- er a 12-5 run thanks to a trio of kills from freshman outside hitter Lexi Sun. Iowa State had no answer for the hyped-up Longhorns, nor the 4,000 screaming fans at Gregory Gymna- sium. At the end of the third frame, Texas sealed the 25-18 victory to com- plete the sweep. Nwanebu inished with a sea- son-high 11 kills in the win, and soph- omore outside hitter Micaya White totaled a team-high 14 digs. he Longhorns (14-2, 6-0) appear to be clicking on all cylinders as of late, building an eight-game win streak with the postseason now just over one month away. “It just seems that we are play- longer periods of ing better for time and learning to concentrate for longer periods of time,” Elliott said. “It was a really nice job for our team tonight.” The Longhorns can now enjoy a breather, as they’ll have three days off before their next match. Texas will next head to Lubbock for a Wednes- day night tilt with Texas Tech, with first serve slated for 6:00 p.m. Ehlinger had one more shot to lead the Longhorns, who once trailed 20-0 in the second quarter, to a mirac- ulous comeback. Although the Longhorns just trailed 29-24, with the ball placed at four yard line and only 49 seconds to remaining, be insurmountable. their own it proved But Ehlinger shouldn’t re- ceive any of the blame. He is just the third true freshman to start at quarterback in the Red River Showdown. At the conclusion of the game, he owned the true freshman re- cord with 278 passing yards. Even in the loss, it sure seems like Tom Herman has now come close to announc- ing his outright starter. When asked if he anticipated stick- ing with Ehlinger, he said, “I would think so at this point.” Ehlinger inished with 278 yards through the air, 106 on the ground and two touchdowns. And Herman said he’s seen what he needs to see from Ehlinger — not just on Saturday, but several contests ago. “Oh, he showed me all he needed to show me in Los Angeles,” Herman said. “He’s a tough dude. He doesn’t get rattled. He’s competitive as all get out … I’ve seen ev- erything I need to see from Sam Ehlinger.” MICHAEL SHAPIRO SPORTS EDITOR @texansports NFL VS.

ACL RECAP brooke crim| daily texan staff Austin’s favorite festival’s annual transformation leaves us wondering, is change a good thing? By Chris Duncan Senior L&A Reporter With every new iteration of the annual Austin City Limits Music Festival comes a slightly diferent approach, and this year’s two weekends were no diferent. But these changes beg the question of whether or not they were for the better. On one hand, additions to the festival grounds provided patrons with key re- sources they needed to have a fun time. With high temperatures and little cloud coverage, the new wine lounge and sever- al other areas provided a retreat from the shining sun. As crowds grew throughout the day, attendees stayed put compared to previous years, opting for shade, proxim- ity to water and comfort over the better views of performers. Additionally, both the food and band selection this year was noticeably varied and improved compared to previous ACL festivals. Vendors such as Shake Shack and East Side King spiced up the festival’s cuisine oferings, and there seemed to be more focus on bringing in smaller genres of music, from reggae to jazz, and even noise bands. On the other hand, the cost of attend- ing ACL went up, food prices were as high as ever and tickets still sit at a fortune for some. Although eforts to streamline fes- tival transportation came with good in- tentions, not enough notice was given to rideshare drivers and bikers, leading to a bit of chaos on Austin roads during peak travel hours on Friday. he festival grounds’ expansion birthed the new Barton Springs stage, but many at- tendees seemed to be completely unaware of its existence. he stage allowed ACL to book more bands, but that portion of the park felt a bit out of the action, lacking the audience many other stages had. he additional lack of trees and shady areas may have contributed to this. On the lip side, Zilker felt less crowded than previ- ous years, giving traveling parties a bit more space to breathe moving from stage to stage. he biggest and arguably most heinous diference compared to previous years is the replacement of local art with spon- sors. In ACLs of the past, art vendors and showmen could be found front and center near the food area, but C3 Presents chose to place this year’s limited art exhibitions and vendors on the far corner of Zilker. his made way for a plethora of corpo- rate sponsors, including large lounges for Miller Lite and State Farm and even a two-loor American Express experience. Although most attendees don’t seem to care, ACL is most certainly narrowing in on national music rather than more com- munity-driven art. All of these adjustments and tweaks bring ACL’s appeal closer to younger gen- erations, which makes sense as a business move but pulls the annual shindig a bit further away from its roots. However, giv- en how great some of the improvements are, it’s hard to say the festival is making any poor decisions.
