On Wednesday, a descen- dant of Confederate Major George Littleield, who donat- ed the statues to the Universi- ty nearly a century ago, iled a lawsuit against Fenves in the U.S. Western District Court. he civil suit claims removing the statues is going back on the University’s agreement to up- hold the “Southern perspective of American history,” one of the stipulations spelled out in Littleield’s will and other doc- uments in return for donations to the school. In the will, signed in 1920, Littleield thoroughly de- scribed how he wants his do- nations — which currently are valued at $500 thousand per statue, or $3 million as a group, according to the suit — to be spent. At the time, he wanted the University to erect a “massive bronze arch over the South entrance,” where the Littleield Fountain currently rests, with statues of several Confederate leaders sitting under the arch. Although the arch never came to fruition, the Littleield stat- ues that lined the South Mall depicted former Confederate leaders Jeferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Albert S. Johnston and John Reagan, as well as Tex- as Gov. James Hogg and U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. A statue of U.S. President George Washington was added later in the 1950s. Littleield believed these statues would tell the “South- ern understanding of Ameri- can history and the Civil War,” according to the suit. he law- suit claims this understanding was tarnished when Fenves re- moved the statues of Lee, John- ston, Reagan and Hogg, an act that abridged the petitioners’ “minority political speech.” As precedent, the suit cites the 1984 U.S. Supreme Court Case Texas v.

Iris Bilich | Daily Texan Staff MOOOV-IN continues from page 1 said her plans were thrown off by the announcement of Harvey. Little left her downtown Houston home abruptly on Thursday night with her family and dogs to evacuate and move in on time. “The original plan was to drive down to Austin at noon on Friday,” Little said. “The weather start- ed getting pretty bad, and that’s when Harvey went from being a tropical storm to all-of-a-sudden a Category 3. So we ended up deciding that we were going to leave in the mid- dle of the night in case of an evacuation.” Little moved into Du- ren Residence Hall on Friday night. Little’s fam- ily will not be able to go to flooded their back home until next week be- cause of highway closures in Houston. to Ryan Kohanski, a busi- ness freshman from Sug- arland, initially underes- timated the severe wind and rainfall Harvey would southeastern bring coastal cities, but even- tually decided to move in early to avoid the stormy weather. Kohanski said his family’s home is safe, but he feels bad for neigh- boring cities impacted by more flooding. “I do see a lot of the pic- tures on social media and it’s kind of heartbreaking to see what a lot of people around that area are going through, what they’re los- ing and the fact that they might not be able to go back to their normal lives once the storm passes,” Kohanski said. Aaron Voyles, director of residence hall opera- tions, said despite weather concerns, Mooov-in was relatively successful and about 90 percent of stu- dents have checked into residence halls. Voyles will students accommodate unable to move in because of the weather and is cur- rently working to address concerns about leaks in residence halls. “We have had some cases of leaks or different things coming from all the wind and rain,” Voyles said. “We’ve had facility staff on-site so as those reports come in, our staff have gone out to those rooms and made the re- pairs to get that stuff fixed. But for the most part, we’re seeing Mooov-in go pretty standard I would say.” Students like Carson Tharp, international re- lations and global studies sophomore, who moved back to Austin two weeks ago, watched Harvey hit their hometowns from afar through social media and local news outlets. Tharp’s home in Victoria still stands, but the roof was damaged and the fence was blown down. Tharp said the city is also experi- encing power outages and water contamination. “It’s kind of sad, but there’s nothing I can do,” Tharp said. “If I were down there, I’d just be in harm’s way, risking be- ing caught in a flood or something. When it all clears up, I will definitely go down there to see how the house is and see if any of our friends or family need help.” Rob O’Connell helps daughter Caroline move into Duren Residence Hall in the midst of Tropical Storm Harvey on Sunday.

President Fenves announced the removal of four remaining Con- federate statues in response to events in Charlot- tesville, VA. Photo by Carlos Garcia Daily Texan Staff 4 Monday, August 28, 2017 EDITORIAL The Daily Texan Editorial Board Students returning to UT will enter a campus altered for the better. President Gregory Fenves announced late last Sunday that the four remaining Confederate stat- ues would be removed from the Main Mall, as they “run counter to the University’s core values.” As students opened his emailed statement, work crews and trucks surrounded the statues. housands of students, led by students of color, have protested the Confederacy-linked statues since their erection in the early 1900s — far before violence in Charlottesville, VA. As student body president Alejandrina Guzman said, “students are past the point of discussion” on this issue. But the statues’ removal was just one step to reckoning with a still-painful legacy. he ad- ministration must also examine the memorial- ization of other Confederate-ailiated persons and actively support students who don’t always look like UT’s founders. For example, Robert Lee Moore Hall and Littleield Dormitory are still named for a notorious segregationist and a Confederate oicer, respectively. Nor does it take long to generate a laundry list of overtly racist displays on UT’s campus, like the racist lyers that appeared on campus in May. hese documented incidents do not even extend to the microaggressions that stu- dents of color experience every day. he mo- mentum generated Sunday must be judged in the light of this semester’s pressing climate challenges before it can be counted as an en- during culture shit. he statues’ removal ofers an opportuni- ty to honor accomplished, worthy graduates rather than elevate an oppressive past. Ad- ministration must also continue to consider how to increase the matriculation and reten- tion rates of marginalized students, and bet- ter document hate and bias incidences. Only then can the removal of Lee’s igure also represent the repudiation of his views. hough the statues should have never found a home on the Main Mall (they were defended as recently as February) Fenves did ultimately acknowledge student concerns and take action. We must give credit where it’s due if we expect the UT administration to listen to its students’ voices going forward. Even as UT combats vocal groups like the Sons of the Confederate Veterans—who sued UT on hursday over its decision to remove the statuary— students deserve continued proac- tive, unambiguous advocacy against the forces of racism. Going into the new school year, we hope Sunday’s decision will set a precedent for more decisive action. Our campus needs it. University must listen to students, not acts of racism By Jaree Campbell Associate Editor Being black at UT is a challenge in and of itself. here are reminders of the Con- federate States of America throughout our campus, a legacy that fought to keep us out of the University. So, President Gregory Fenves’ message, announcing the removal of the remaining Confederacy-tied statues from the Main Mall, felt like a signiicant, yet small, victory. In the email, Fenves explains that the re- location of the statues was in part prompt- ed by the tragic events in Charlottesville. I commend the University for seeing the racist and hate-fueled rally as it was and re- acting accordingly, but I also recognize that the response is only a conirmation of what students of color have been saying for years. So, why does it take a grand display of vio- lence hundreds of miles away to validate the discrimination faced by UT students? Student disapproval of the statuary’s presence on campus is nothing new. Since the removal of the Jeferson Davis statue in 2015, petitions urging the removal of the remaining statues have made their rounds through social media, one drat garnering more than 2,000 signatures. Despite this, not much has changed. Even ater the evaluation by a task force assembled to tackle the issue, the statues remained — forcing students to continue a ight that has raged on since the 90s. But, this isn’t the irst grievance posed by students of color that has remained unre- solved or poorly handled. A glimpse of the Town Hall held last February will tell you all you need to know about the state of campus climate on the 40 Acres. here seems to be an ever growing list of discriminatory incidents without proper resolution and repercussion to match. Just last semester, xenophobic and Islamophobic liers (with racist ones to follow only months later) were found around campus and con- demned by the administration, but for all the wrong reasons. In a statement, J.B. Bird, director of media relations, denounced the signage for its placement on unauthorized spaces, but not the hateful rhetoric. he outrage at the Town Hall brought about the Hate and Bias Incident Policy that would prevent future inaction by the Uni- versity in the next racist incident on campus. Unbeknownst to students of color who saw the policy as a positive step forward, it would irst be used to combat vandalism targeting fraternities. his very system victimises and remains insensitive toward minorities with- out worry of punishment. While I do not condone vandalism in any form, the specif- ic mention of the policy in the president’s statement felt like a shit back to square one. It was as if nothing really improved for the people who look like me. he administration waits until their stu- dents are openly threatened to take action, and even then it never seems to create sig- niicant change. he mere existence of black UT students should’ve been enough to get the statues removed, or an acknowledgement of their opposition, at the very least . he Universi- ty’s mission to “cultivate an inclusive campus culture” should be enough to facilitate real transparency and accountability of Universi- ty administration to make this goal a reality — before the next incident.

But overlooked amid the national controver- sy surrounding white nationalism and the stat- ues was a passing remark by Mayor Steve Adler, pointing to the inequality ingrained in Austin. “We have an interstate highway that was built to divide us as a city,” Adler said at the rally. “We remain today as the most geographically segre- gated city in the country.” Here’s a brief history lesson: hroughout the twentieth century, Austin was built from the ground up to insulate whiter, wealthier com- munities from people of color. UT lecturer and urban geographer Eliot Tretter makes the case in his report, Austin Restricted. Under a 1928 city plan, planners locat- ed “separate but equal” services for Afri- can Americans exclusively in East Austin neighborhoods designated solely for blacks. Private real estate acted in concert with government policy — neighborhoods like Hyde Park featured restrictive covenants that legally barred people of color from buying or renting homes (“Hyde Park is ex- clusively for white people.”) he clauses re- main in the deeds of many properties today, even if no court would ever enforce them. Jim Crow is no longer the law of the land, but deed restrictions on the minimum lot size, minimum square footage and number of occupants continue to exclude minori- ties by driving up the prices of homes. As of the 2010 census, African American and Hispanic residents are still overwhelming- ly concentrated in East Austin just beyond Interstate 35. Infographic by Rena Li | Daily Texan Staff To undo decades of housing segregation, Tretter suggests modifying the state statutes that enable those deed restrictions to take efect. He recognizes that’s “seemingly impossible in the present political climate” — to put it mildly. Returning to to Adler’s comment, build- ing Interstate 35 didn’t just put up a big gray wall between white and black. It also put the nail in the coin for Austin’s dysfunctional transportation system, which is not just grid- locked, but also inequitable. Austin prides itself on being unique and dif- ferent, but outside of a few charming downtown neighborhoods, it’s no diferent than your aver- age auto-centric Texas suburbia. Cars are king in the world of parking lots, strip malls and freeways, to the detriment of other modes like walking, cycling, and public transit. And when a city puts all its eggs in a basket with four wheels and an engine, minorities sufer. Controlling for other factors, research by urban geographer Chad Frederick shows that African American households make 15 per- cent more income in cities that ofer safer, healthier, and more afordable alternatives to driving. Frederick suggests this is because mi- nority households have access to more jobs, so members can make more — and employers are pressured to pay more. Austin streets are becoming more equitable, but slowly. Last year’s mobility bond allocated $37.5 million for sidewalk construction, but the amount pales in comparison to the nearly $1 billion the 2009 master plan called for. Bicy- cle infrastructure continues to open, even if it is oten not very safe or not very useful. Celebrate the removal of white supremacist symbols from campus. But for the men and women Adler spoke of isolated in Austin’s sin- isterly segregated neighborhoods, the shouts of “less talk, more action” go unanswered.

The study was approved by City Council in May, a year after the death of freshman Haruka Weiser and weeks after rumors ran rampant in West Campus the day freshman Harrison Brown was killed. Despite recent events, Joel Meyer, pedestrian co- ordinator for the city trans- portation department, said the decision to begin the study was not made in direct response to any specific incidents. “I think for a while there’s been concerns on safe- ty from student and par- ents and business owners,” Meyer said. “Of course, there have been a couple of high-profile events over the past few years.” he Austin Transporta- tion Department is collab- orating with the Austin Po- lice Department and Austin Energy to conduct the six- month study. he group will present a report with recom- mended lighting updates to be approved by City Council this spring. Campus safety groups intensiied demands for in- creased security measures The City of Austin is conducting a lighting and safety study in West Campus. The study comes after months of demands from campus safety groups. Chris Foxx | Daily Texan Staff on and near campus ater the deaths of Weiser and Brown. SafeHorns, a stakeholder group composed of students, parents and business own- ers, was one of the primary voices in this attempt. SafeHorns vice president Joell McNew said a lighting study is necessary, especially considering West Campus’s growing population. “We’re so thrilled to have this city come on board ... and take a look at (West Campus) so we can move forward for positive sustain- able change, because it really does need it,” McNew said. McNew, who has a son at UT, said when speaking with student groups, the pri- mary change they wanted to see in West Campus, aside from increased police pres- ence, was lighting. Biology freshman Carolyn Collins said better lighting is a step in the right direction. “I do know that a lot of crime happens in darker areas because there is less visibility,” Collins said. “So I do think lighting could help the issue.” Part of the study will con- sist of a public outreach ef- fort, including stakeholder meetings and an online com- munity survey, a tool Meyer I don’t believe (more lighting) will make it safer, but I believe that having improved lighting in any neighborhood allows people to feel safer and also see and be more situationally aware.” —Joell McNew, SafeHorns vice president said has been successful in past programs. He said input from West Campus residents and business owners is vital to understanding the issues in the area. “We’re really looking for- ward to hearing from people who live in West Campus and work in that area,” Mey- er said. “We want to get as much feedback as possible.” English junior Adam Bu- cheister has lived in West Campus for two years. He said he has never consid- ered lighting in West Cam- pus to be a safety issue, and he doesn’t think better lighting will do much to combat crime or pedestri- an accidents. “I don’t know if it’s an is- sue of lighting. I think it’s probably more cultural,” Bucheister said. McNew said she’s not sure lighting updates will have a substantial impact on actu- al safety, but they will make students feel safer. “I don’t believe (more lighting) will make it saf- er, but I believe that having in any lighting improved neighborhood allows people to feel safer and also see and be more situationally aware,” McNew said. “A lot of safety is perception and fear.” 5815/Whole Foods Market - South; Process color 6 FOOD Monday, August 28, 2017 New school year brings new eateries By Chase Karacostas Senior Reporter In the midst of rain from Hurricane Harvey, thou- sands of students returned to campus to find that several new businesses opened on the Drag over the summer.

According to McGarrity, there is not yet evidence that the lake is infested, which would mean that there are reproducing populations of the species. However, Lake Travis was designated infest- ed with zebra mussels in June this year. “We found zebra mussel single and a larva several adults,” McGarrity said. “However, more mus- sels may have been present. We haven’t yet found evi- dence that they are fully es- tablished in Lake Austin and reproducing successfully.” Complete eradication of zebra mussels is near impossi- ble, but Texas Parks and Wild- life Department will continue to encourage the community to report any sightings of ze- bra mussels and to prevent in- festation by properly cleaning, draining and drying boats. “People need to become educated and stay aware,” De Jesus said. “his is the irst time we’ve seen them this far south, so we aren’t exactly sure how they are going to react to the environment … only time will tell.” Infographic by Mallika Gandhi | Daily Texan Staff 6050/Trudy’s; Black APPLY to work at Check us out!

HEALTHStress increases fear due to old memories 7 Monday, August 28, 2017 JULIANNE HODGES SCIENCE&TECH EDITOR @thedailytexan By Julianne Hodges Science&Tech Editor Fear caused by a past trauma or bad memo- ry can be increased by study by UT stress, a researchers found. Joseph Dunsmoor, a UT psychology professor and Dell Medical School psychi- atry professor, led the study, published earlier this month in Proceedings of the Na- tional Academy of Sciences, in which subjects were given an electrical shock ater hear- ing a tone at a particular fre- quency in order to create an association between the tone and the shock. the Once the subject learned the association, re- searchers tested physiolog- ical signs of fear when ex- posed to various tones both the same day and 24 hours later. Among those tested 24 hours later, some subjects irst placed their arms in ice water to raise levels of corti- sol, a stress hormone. hey found that, while both groups tested the next day reacted to similar tones BIOLOGY other than the one used in the conditioning, the group with raised stress levels re- acted fearfully to a wider range of similar tones. Dunsmoor said this is caused by fear generaliza- tion, or fearing things that resemble what caused the original trauma but are not actually dangerous. “he idea is that, if you have an old fear memory, say from some traumat- ic event or just something threatening that happened to you in the past, over time that memory becomes a lit- tle bit less precise,” he said. “But when that’s coupled with some stress in the fu- ture, then you’re more likely to generalize that fear.” McGill University psy- professor Ross chology Otto, a co-author of the pa- per who earned his Ph.D. at UT, said that it takes time ater a traumatic event for fear generalization to occur. “You need to have time for the memory of the origi- nal fear-provoking stimulus to settle,” he said. “You’re not going to see that kind of generalization immedi- ately ater learning about fear-evoking stimuli.” Dunsmoor examples of and Otto fear are pho- and post-traumatic said generalization bias stress disorder. traumatic “If you had some kind of experience with snakes, and then you see a garden hose, you might overgeneralize be- those are actually cause similar-looking things,” Otto said. “(You might) have an anxiety-like re- sponse to the garden hose, which is a harmless ob- ject. he idea is that being under stress exacerbates this overgeneralization.” Right now, the most com- mon treatment for anxiety disorders such as PTSD and phobias is exposure therapy, in which a patient is repeat- edly exposed to cues that trigger fear but experience no negative outcome so that they unlearn the connec- tion, Dunsmoor said. Since the situation during exposure therapy is not the same as in the real world, Illustration by Geo Casillas | Daily Texan Staff the goal of exposure ther- apy is to use the same idea of generalization to unlearn fear of a broader range of situations, he added. his study focused on measuring physiological re- sponses through skin con- ductance, but the next step is to look at activity in the functional brain through MRI, Dunsmoor said. Michael Drew, a UT neuroscience professor not involved in the study, said the interesting thing about this paper is that it starts the to reasons why fears become over- generalized, which is im- portant to understanding anxiety disorders. explore “One of the big questions with respect to anxiety dis- orders is why some fears or aversive memories are over- generalized,” Drew said. “Understanding that kind of thing is a precondition for inding ways to treat mal- adaptive fear and anxiety. I think (this work) is a step in the right direction.” Invasive zebra mussel species lurk in Lake Austin By Sarah Bloodworth Assoc. Science&Tech Editor Lake Austin is positive for Dreissena polymorpha, otherwise known as zebra mussels. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart- ment, zebra mussels are inva- sive freshwater mussels that reproduce quickly and have major environmental and economic impacts. In early August, biolo- gists found zebra mussels in the marina of Lake Aus- tin near the Walsh Landing boat ramp. According to Monica Mc- Garrity, the Texas Parks and Invasive Wildlife Aquatic Species team leader, zebra mussels spread by either pas- sively loating downstream or by attaching to objects such as boats. “It is impossible to say whether zebra mussels were spread passively to Lake Aus- tin — passively meaning that the larvae loat downstream in the water and settle on hard surfaces — or whether they were actively moved by a boat,” McGarrity said. Zebra mussels are consid- ered invasive because they disrupt the ecosystem by creating major competition for microscopic plants called plankton. According to Mar- cos De Jesus, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Fisheries biol- ogist, zebra mussels repro- duce very rapidly, so when into the food introduced chain, they consume large quantities of plankton that many species rely on. “Plankton the base is source of the food web, so competing with zebra mus- sels can create a big impact,” De Jesus said. Zebra mussels can also clog pipes, which could disrupt Austin’s water sup- ply.

Here’s what you need to know the Longhorns in 2017. DEFENSE OFFENSE By Trenton Daeschner Assoc. Sports Editor With less than a week be- fore the start of the season, the Longhorns are turning their attention to Mary- land and the dynamic rush- ing attack of the Terrapins. Here are ive notes on the defense from this past week of practice. Improvement in communication Junior defensive end Chris Nelson said one of the big- gest improvements made on defense this ofseason is pre- snap communication. Walk by a Texas practice at Frank Denius Fields or roll down the window while driving by on Interstate 35 and you can ex- pect to hear some Longhorns getting vocal. “If y’all are standing out there, you can hear every- body talking and yelling,” Nelson said. “And if you’re talking sot, (the coaches) are gonna get on you. Like, ‘Start it all over.’” Ford emerging as a leader Senior defensive tackle Poona Ford is sot-spoken by nature, but his team- mates say he’s become a more vocal leader on the ield recently. Nelson, a fellow defensive lineman and Ford’s roommate, be- lieves there’s been a sig- in Ford niicant change this ofseason. “his year, he’s speaking up a lot more,” Nelson said. “You know, Poon’s always been a laid-back person, but when he’s on the ield, he’s a dog. He’s a beast. I think he had it in him. He always been like that since day one. (he coaches) brought it out of him. hey were telling him, ‘Poon, you’re a great player, you have to talk. Players are gonna listen to you.’ So he started talking a little more.” Texas names its captains, including three defensive players Head coach Tom Herman announced on Twitter Friday night the Longhorns’ team captains for 2017. Of the four captains named, three play on the defense. Joining junior let tackle Connor Williams are Ford, senior linebacker Naashon Hughes and junior nickelback P.J. Locke III. Longhorns prepare for Maryland With preseason camp now fully in the rearview mirror, the Longhorns have set their focus toward Saturday’s sea- son opener against Maryland at Darrell K. Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium. Herman said Texas be- gan installing the game plan for the Terrapins this past week. Maryland’s bread and butter on ofense is run- ning the football, featuring a pair of explosive running backs in junior Ty John- son and sophomore Loren- zo Harrison. Dual-threat quarterback sophomore Tyrrell Pigrome is expected to start. “he will be if it’s (Pigrome), that’s gonna change a little bit of the coverages and run support diference I really don’t think there’s nothing for us to prove. It’s just counting on ourselves to go out there, and ... just showing the fans that we’re different.” —Chris Nelson, Junior defensive end that you can play because you got to account for him in the run game,” Herman said. “But that’s nothing that’s foreign to our defense.” Despite the pressure for the Longhorns to get things turned around under Her- man, Nelson says the team isn’t concerned about expec- tations going into the Mary- land game. “I think really don’t there’s nothing for us to prove,” Nelson said. “It’s just us counting on our- selves to go out there, and we want to make a change, just showing the fans that we’re different.” Injury update A pair of freshmen de- fensive backs will miss Saturday’s game against Maryland. Chris Brown is out with a high ankle sprain and will miss ex- tended time. Eric Cuf- fee had wrist surgery on Tuesday and will also miss extended time. By Dalton Phillips Senior Sports Reporter Texas remained unbeaten on the season with a pair of victories this weekend, culmi- nating in a last-minute goal to secure a road win against the North Texas on Sunday. he victory marked Texas’ irst 4-0 start to the season since 2008. Prior to Sunday’s win, the Longhorns squared of against the University of Arkansas at Little Rock on Friday night, taking the ield in Austin just a few hours before the incoming rainstorm. With clouds swirl- ing overhead, the burnt orange found themselves down early for the irst time this season. Trojan midielder Doro Greulich connected from 12 yards out on a throw-in play from the right side nearly elev- en minutes into the irst period. It was the irst shot on-goal for either side. “We came out a little slow, and I don’t think we were expecting to get scored on irst,” junior midielder Kayra Dollas said. “All we could do was come back out stron- ger and try to at least tie it before half.” It would be Dollas who com- pleted the game-tying play late in the irst half. he Orange, California native found the ball come her way of a corner kick, and sent an errant rico- chet through the net. Heading to haltime, the game was tied at 1-1. Coming out of the break in a deadlock, Texas again leaned on the emerging duo of sopho- more Cyera Hintzen and fresh- man Haley Berg, who played together as club teammates in high school. Hintzen assisted Berg for the second time in three games, dishing the ball to Berg from nine yards out for the Longhorns’ second goal of the evening. he score was all Texas needed to defeat the Trojans 2-1. “I think (Hintzen) has really been the reason for both of my goals, so props to her,” Berg said. “She’s really been the reason, so I give all the credit to her.” Sophomore Shane Buechele is projected to be Texas’ starter in 2017, but his spot isn’t guaranteed. Freshman Sam Ehlinger is also in the mix to start. Daulton Venglar | Daily Texan Staff By Alex Briseno Senior Sports Reporter Texas has an abundance of talent at wide receiver, sporting more than ive re- ceivers who will battle for playing time. But outside of the wideouts, there’s a striking lack of depth on the Longhorn ofense. Health is at a premium, especially with this year’s squad. Senior tight end Andrew Beck sufered a season-ending injury last week, leaving the Long- horns with two freshmen and a graduate transfer at the position. As for the backield, two Texas run- ning backs sufered slight injuries during preseason practice, and the Long- horns sport just two QBs on their roster. Here’s what to expect from the Longhorn ofense in 2017. Wide Receiver: Take your pick Texas won’t have an is- sue putting playmakers out wide. But the task of naming starters in this unit won’t be easy. In fact, the season-open- Longhorns’ er is less than a week away and they still don’t know what the depth chart is looking like. “I don’t even know what the lineup is looking like right now,” senior wide re- ceiver Dorian Leonard said. “hey don’t tell us anything about depth charts or any- thing like that … but at the end of the day they’re going to sit at that round table and they’re going to make those depth charts.” Texas will have plenty of options: six-foot-six soph- omore Collin Johnson, a pair of six-foot-ive receiv- ers in sophomore Lil’Jor- dan Humphrey and senior Dorian Leonard, former quarterback junior Jerrod Heard and a highly-talk- ed about freshman Reggie Hemphill-Mapps. “Reggie is a baller,” soph- omore quarterback Shane Buechele said. “He goes hard and he has a lot of fun playing the game. As well as all the guys on the ofense. We have so many playmak- ers besides Reggie and it’s just a lot of fun being able to distribute the ball out to those guys and watch them make plays.” he question isn’t if Tex- as will have playmakers at wide receiver. Rather, it’s who will be making them. Quarterback: “That’s a big deal, huh?” Head coach Tom Her- man doesn’t quite buy the hype over naming a start- ing quarterback during preseason practice. “hat’s a big deal, huh?” Herman said. “I’ve said over and over again that if we played a game tomor- row, Shane Buechele would start. We need a depth chart to make it Facebook oicial I guess.” While Buechele has the lead as of now, it appears he’ll have to battle for the starting QB spot with fresh- man Sam Ehlinger until kickof on Sept. 2. Herman isn’t annointing anyone the starter, at least not yet. He (Reggie) goes hard and he has a lot of fun playing the game. As well as all the guys on offense.” —Shane Buechele, Sophomore quarterback “As of today, (Buechele) is starting,” Herman said. “Now, does that guaran- tee that he’ll start against Maryland? No. He’ll take the bulk of the ones reps, but if he doesn’t take ad- vantage of them and Sam plays better than him then that’ll change.” Warren & Co. Junior Chris Warren III will be the No. 1 back. he Rockwall native was named to the 2017 Maxwell Award watch list for player of the year and will have plenty of chances to gain the nation’s attention ater missing the last eight games of 2016 with a knee injury. Sophomore Kyle Porter will be right behind War- ren. But injury concerns may force a pair of fresh- man — Daniel Young and Toneil Carter — into action if Porter sufers a health setback. He had a sprained shoulder in fall camp and a sprained ankle last spring. “It would be (Warren) right now, with Porter be- ing non-contact,” Herman said. “If for some reason Kyle couldn’t go then it would be a committee for the second spot.” The Longhorns advanced their record to 4–0 on Sunday after defeating North Texas. Sophomore Cyera Hintzen scored Texas’ lone goal, ind- ing the back of the net in the 82nd minute. Zoe Fu Daily Texan Staff Hintzen would come up huge again for Texas just two days later. 82 minutes into the match against UNT, both sides remained scoreless in spite of numerous opportunities. he Longhorns failed to get past Mean Green goalie Miranda Schoening, while sophomore Nicole Curry protected the net for Texas. his time it would be Hint- zen who took the shot, deliv- ering a short goal of a corner kick with under 10 minutes remaining. he Longhorn de- fense stayed strong through the rest of the match, sealing a 1-0 Longhorn victory. With the momentum of four wins behind them, the Longhorns will now travel to California for a two-game road-trip. Texas will take on Cal on Friday evening, and then travel up to Sacramen- to to battle Sacramento State on Sunday. Texas will look to resurrect its defense in 2017. The Longhorns struggled on the defensive side of the ball last year, surrendering 31.5 points and 449 yards per game. Emmanuel Briseno | Daily Texan Staff SOCCER Texas jumps out to 4–0 start following weekend wins Longhorns split opening-weekend matches Monday, August 28, 2017 10 VOLLEYBALL By Justin Martinez Sports Reporter Inexperience proved to be the Longhorns’ Achilles’ heel when they opened the season on Friday night. hey lost on the road to No. 12 Florida, 3-1. Despite boasting an array of young talent, No. 1 Tex- as found itself in an uphill battle stemming from a lack of chemistry between those newcomers and the team’s veteran core. Sets weren’t where they needed to be, communica- tion wasn’t lowing during plays, and errors illed the stat sheet. he Gators capi- talized on it all, feeding of a frenzied home crowd of more than 7,500 fans and claiming the irst two sets, 25-16 and 25-23. “(Florida) put a lot of pres- sure on us with a great crowd and a great environment,” head coach Jerritt Elliott said in a press conference. “We didn’t execute on our side; we were high error, and you just can’t give a team like that that many free balls.” Texas fought back to win the third set 25-18, but the two-set deicit was too much to overcome. he Gators completed the upset with a 25-21 win in the fourth frame. For the Longhorns, the loss served as a much-needed learning experience. “We went into this match kind of blind,” senior outside hitter Ebony Nwanebu said in a press conference. “But now we know to work on our passing, shots and blocking. So, I see this as more of a learning curve than a super terrible loss.” It didn’t take long for Texas to regain its footing however, as the Longhorns rebounded on Saturday with a 3-1 win over No. 18 Oregon in the Longhorns’ second match of the VERT Challenge. Ater dropping a tight Texas went 1–1 at the VERT Challange in Gainsville, Florida, losing to the Gators on Friday before rebounding to beat Oregon on Sunday. Freshman Lexi Sun led the way on Sunday, tallying 14 kills. Fellow freshman Ashley Shook added 38 assists. Texas now heads to California for the USD Tournament. Joshua Guerra | Daily Texan Staff irst set, Texas began to cre- ate some separation from the Ducks. he Longhorns tallied 11 kills in the second set while hitting .185 as they cruised to a 25-17 victory. “hat second set really showed us what we can look like once we get our chem- istry going,” junior middle blocker Morgan Johnson said. “When we all do our jobs, and do the little things right, we feel like we can beat anybody.” Texas never looked back the second-set vic- ater tory, winning third and fourth sets 25-22 and 25-23, respectively. the he Longhorns’ freshmen made their presence known throughout the match. Out- side hitter Lexi Sun led the Longhorns with 14 kills, and setter Ashley Shook shared the wealth with 38 assists. Next up for the Longhorns is a trip to San Diego, where they will battle Villanova on Sept. 1 in the opening match of the USD Tournament. “We just need to keep that same focus,” Johnson said. “his weekend showed us exactly what we need to get from everybody in or- der to win, so now we have to keep into next weekend.” that going RECYCLE your copy of 6120/Growler USA; Process color 5710/University Co-op; Process color ugust 28, 2017 Monday, August 28, 2017 FOOTBALL 11 Players move to Hotel Moncrief during camp By Trenton Daeschner Assoc. Sports Editor During the three-week grind of preseason prac- tice, many Texas players checked out of the Jester dormitory and checked into Hotel Moncrief — the Mon- crief-Neuhaus Athletic Cen- ter, that is. As is custom, players moved out of their usual dorms at San Jacinto and into Jester for camp. But many decided they’d rather sleep at the team’s football facility instead. What started out as casual napping even- tually turned into overnight stays inside Moncrief for many players. “hat was organic with the kids,” head coach Tom Herman said. “We give them air mattresses to take naps in the break when they don’t have class. A lot of them, as I’ve said before, couldn’t even nap in between the end of practice and meet- ings because of class. But the ones that didn’t have class, or once classes got over, we give them those air mat- tresses to sleep on.” Little did Herman realize that there was a science be- hind turning Moncrief into an upscale hotel. “When we moved into Jester,” Herman said, “a lot of the kids said, ‘Coach, sleep is at a premium, and if I can save myself the eight-minute walk to Jester and eight-minute walk back in the morning, that’s 16–20 minutes extra sleep. Can we just sleep here?’ Of course, the answer’s yes. It caught on, and more and more of the team did it. I think it’s pretty cool camaraderie.” Herman estimates that about half team — the around 50 players — took advantage of sleeping at Moncrief camp. About ive to six players during Classiieds; Black Head coach Tom Herman embraced his team’s change in sleeping arrangements during preseason practice, saying it showed “pretty cool camaraderie.” Joshua Guerra | Daily Texan Staff would occupy each room. “We got enough mat- tresses everybody,” sophomore safety Brandon Jones said. for A number of defensive backs joined Jones in his room, including juniors P.J.

And in a room of six guys, there’s bound to be some snoring. about more “P.J. is horrible,” Jones said. in Moncrief Staying than was shut-eye for some play- ers. Of course, having a brand-new, state-of-the-art locker room in the facility to relax and play video games in doesn’t hurt either. Jones concedes that junior safe- ty John Bonney and junior punter Michael Dickson are the best with a controller in their hands. But there was also a chance for players to forge stronger relationships and become a tight-knit unit. Many players, including Jones and senior defensive tackle Poona Ford, said the Longhorns have gotten a lot closer since the end of last season. “It’s been just a lot of team bonding,” sophomore quarterback Shane Buech- ele said. “Just being able to have all those guys in there at the end of the night, have conversations with them that you normally don’t have. During fall camp, it’s just all football, football, football. At the end of the night, you can inally have a conversation about things outside of this facility or whatever happens.” hose conversations may even cut into the play- ers’ sleep. But while sleep is very important, be- ing able to communicate efectively is paramount. “For some reason, nobody It’s been just a lot of team bond- ing. Just being able to have all those guys in there at the end of the night, have converstions with them that you normally don’t have. —Shane Buechele, Sophomore quarterback likes to go to sleep,” Jones said. “When we’re all togeth- er, we’ll all stay up talking about just random stuf. But I like it because it gets us familiar with each other. he biggest thing on the ield is communication, so if we can build that rela- tionship of the ield, it’ll make it that much easier on the ield.” CONSULTANTS WANTED: Rodan + Fields skincare and Lash Boost consultants are an enthusiastic group of entrepreneurial individuals who all share a love for amazing skincare and long lashes.

In parking lots and beside pick-up trucks, bar- becue roasts and beer cans are cracked open as laughter ills the air with Texas spirit. Win or lose, Longhorn fans have been attending UT tailgate events for generations. While some consist of fancy outdoor parties with barbecue pits and TVs tuned to the game, others consist of simple celebratory gatherings with chips, salsa and pre-game fun. No matter the level of intensity, all start early and end late. “It has nothing to do with winning or losing,” alumnus Ron Longwood said. “It has to do with following and being a fan of the Longhorns.” For many, the experience is more about the camarade- rie and celebrating with fel- low Longhorns than the inal score. Longwood said over the years, the tailgate moments he cherishes most are those spent meeting new Longhorns, watching them celebrate with their loved ones and being able to do the same himself. Alumna Kay Andrews said her family’s tradition of tail- gating began when she met her husband, Fred Andrews, at UT in 1964. At irst they attended games sporadical- ly, then more regularly ater moving to Austin and ater their children became UT students. heir tailgates have now grown to be known as “Coach Andrew’s Tailgate.” “hey thought my hus- band was a coach because our daughter had painted on his CAMPUS Longhorn fans continue tailgating tradition MORGAN O’HANLON LIFE&ARTS EDITOR @thedailytexan Illustration by Victoria Smith | Daily Texan Staff chair ‘Coach Andrews’ ,” Kay Andrews said. “For years they would see ‘Coach Andrews’ on his chair and they thought he was a real coach. hey just kept calling him coach and everybody else started calling him coach.” heir tailgate events have since regularly hosted family and friends, seen appearances by Longhorn Singers and even been visited by the late Judge Harley Clark, creator of the hook ‘em sign. “We have had a good time over the years trying to keep it going,” alumnus Fred Andrews said. “hanks to other people participating, it is coming along quite well.” tailgaters Although like Andrews didn’t start tailgat- ing until they stepped foot on the 40 Acres, others have bled orange since childhood. Austin local Jeremy Chavar- ria may have graduated from Concordia University, but he is still an avid fan of UT football ater growing up in Austin and surrounding himself with Longhorns. “A lot of the time, people think if you don’t go to UT, you can’t be a fan,” Chavarria said. “I grew up in this area. I love UT football.” What started with buying $5 game tickets with his friends at Randall’s in the early 1990s has since become a large-scale tail- gate, which Chavarria said has one of the best barbecue pits. “he biggest part of it is being able to spend time with the kids, getting set up, watching other games before the game, (we) have a cou- ple beers aterwards, clean up and see each other next week,” Chavarria said. Ater more than a decade of unfaltering support for the Longhorns, Chavarria said his biggest disappointment has been seeing the lailing support from some tailgaters throughout the season when the team isn’t doing good. He said it is important for fans to support both players and coaches — something he plans to keep doing. Chavarria hopes his fam- ily’s future generations will continue rooting for the team that’s been a constant force in their lives. “My daughter looks forward to (being a Longhorn),” Cha- varria said. “I started (the tradi- tion), my kids see it, (and) they enjoy it, so hopefully they will do it when they get older.” Get the most out of Dine In Dollars, Bevo Bucks By Stephen Acevedo Senior Life&Arts Reporter Freshmen living in dorms for the irst time might think $1,600 in Dine In Dollars and $200 in Bevo Bucks sounds like more than enough to get through the year. However, be- tween overpriced turkey burg- ers at Littleield and weekend runs to Jester City Market, stu- dents ind themselves blowing through their dining funds by hanksgiving break. In order to prevent this from happen- ing, he Texan has put togeth- er a list of tips to help students get the best out of their cam- pus meal plan this year. 1.Stick with J2 and Kinsolving It’s no secret that all-you- can-eat bufets have gained a subpar reputation over the years, but try not to let that deter you from taking advan- tage of the best deals you’ll ind on UT’s campus. For only ive bucks at these two spots, students can stuf their bellies with generous servings of hai, Indian, Italian and countless other types of cuisine. he folks in charge of curating the menus do a great job of keep- ing the options interesting day ater day. J2 even keeps its breakfast station running all day, so you can eat breakfast for dinner every day if you’re one of those people. Despite what anyone may swear by, the quality of the food at J2 and Kinsolving really is just as good as Jester City Limits or Cypress Bend, and neither place will charge you two bucks for every side you order. 2. Ask About Eco2Go you adamantly are opposed to eating bufet-style or just prefer the a la carte ex- perience at places like Jester City Limits or Littleield Cafe, there are still ways to save money. Over the past couple of years, UT dining halls have in- troduced Eco2Go. his system If allows students to purchase an Eco2Go coin that can be used to replace the dining halls’ pa- per plates with a plastic con- tainers. Not only does the plas- tic container allow students to conveniently eat where they want, but it also gives them a ive percent discount when they go to pay for their meals. It’s worth mentioning that the servers tend to serve larger portions in the reusable containers than on the paper plates, though they’ll probably never admit it. 3. Avoid Dorm Starbucks Once classes are in full swing and homework loads start piling, there is always a crowd of students congregat- ed around Jester Java, which serves much-loved Starbucks cofee. As convenient as a Starbucks on campus may be for compulsive cofee drink- ers, I highly recommend not squandering Dine In Dol- lars and Bevo Bucks there. A better option would be to take advantage of one of the very few things students are actu- ally allowed to keep in their dorms and buy a personal cof- fee maker. Whether you use a fancy Keurig or basic cofee pot from Walmart, making your own daily cofee is a far more economical option than stopping at Jester Java twice a day, an act which can quickly break the bank. Even if you treat yourself to Starbucks from time to time, the key is to not make an expensive daily habit out of it. 4.Spend Bevo Bucks Off Campus Unlike Dine In Dollars, which are only good for on-campus use, Bevo Bucks are accepted by quite a large number of local restaurants. For that reason, you should try not to spend your Bevo Bucks at the on-campus restaurants or convenience stores and use them instead to explore the impressive selection of great 6014/Bufalo Exchange; Process color 6073/AF1 Racing; Process color Illustration by Rachel Tyler| Daily Texan Staff eateries Austin has to ofer. Saving them up will be far more enjoyable than tear- ing through all 200 Bevo Bucks on a string of drunk- en late-night Wendy’s runs, although there’s no shame in that either.

Colored lights shine on the walls, changing to con- trast the color of the sky, which is often affected by the weather. It is certainly something every student should experience at some point, provided they make reservations early enough in advance. “Wall Drawing #520” as well as the entire interior of the GDC The Gates Dell Com- plex stands out from the decades-old architecture surrounding it.

Life & Arts Editor UT-Austin’s campus is inarguably beautiful. From grassy malls to awe-induc- ing architecture — save for Robert Lee Moore Hall — visual grandeur is around every corner. Artistic elegance is easy to ind as well with cam- pus and its surrounding areas hosting a wealth of museums and exhibition spaces, but some of UT’s greatest beau- creative ty can be found outside those conines, no muse- um required — you just need to know where to look. admission “And That’s The Way It Is,” aka the south side of the CMA Jesse H. Jones Communi- cations Building A, located at the southwest corner of Whitis and Dean Keeton, may appear to be just an- other bland, rectangular building on campus, espe- cially in the shadow of the more cutting-edge Belo Center across the street. At night, however, its south side, which faces Walter Cronkite Plaza, be- comes a projector screen for the text of news broadcasts, giving an intimidating, dys- topian vibe to the build- ing. The massive wall, with large block letters of news scripts quickly scrolling by, looks straight out of George Orwell’s “1984.” Creator Ben Rubin de- signed the work in 2012, and it combines archival scripts from Cronkite-era broad- casts with contemporary broadcast scripts. Much like the University itself, Rubin brings together old and new styles to create something wholly individual. “The Color Inside,” aka the roof of the SAC Many students visit the Illustration by Alexis Acevedo | Daily Texan Staff 5905/Austin Energy; Process color campus, with an equal- ly efficient name: “Wall Drawing #520.” Geometric in nature, artist Sol LeWitt uses ba- sic shapes and simple col- ors to create an elegant, out-of-the-ordinary work of art to match the building that houses it. “OneEveryone,” HLB The recently completed Health Learning Building, located at 15th and Red River near the Frank Er- win Center, houses one of campus’s more bizarre pieces of art.

The sculpture, by artist Juan Hamilton, reflects its surroundings while also casting a long, elegant shad- ow, making it something of a contradiction. It could also easily pass for a door handle — but as they say, art is subjective. “The Gates Dell Complex stands out from decades-old architecture surrounding it.

Milo Science Fiction Brand New MUSIC Summer brings onslaught of premier albums By Chris Duncan Senior Life&Arts Writer Summer is a time to re- lax, unwind and check out for a while. If you’ve been traveling, caught up in work or just plain not paying attention, here were the five premier releases of the season. Rocket – (Sandy) Alex G Starting out on the Bandcamp platform at 16 years old, Alex G penned cryptic and lethargic songs that would grab listen- ers and pull them into his complicated world. Seven years later, not much has changed aside from the addition of (Sandy) to his stage name and the per- fection of his craft. New- comers to (Sandy) Alex G’s work might be a bit over- whelmed by his adoption of several genres in one record, but those famil- iar with his work will find themselves captivated with his lo-fi interpretations of indie, folk and noise rock. The addition of orchestral instruments on several tracks bring an extra di- mension to them, building out the luscious chords and highlighting the complexi- ties within poetic lyrics. Melodrama – Lorde After her smash hit, Pure Heroine, Lorde was posi- tioned to take the main- stream by storm and cash in on her pop fame. How- ever, after staying silent for nearly four years, it became apparent that her second album would not be half- and baked. Melodrama proved to be worth the wait by delving deeper into Lorde’s introspective dark side, leaving the listener uncertain of what they may find. Paired with Jack An- tonoff of fun. and Bleach- ers, Lorde wrote elegant lyrics for this album that deal with the human con- dition and our understand- ing of the world around us. An album as explor- ative and lonely as it can be rhythmic and energiz- ing, Melodrama makes the four-year wait for another Lorde project easily worth the wait. Tyler, the Creator’s most impressive work to date and demands attention from both hip-hop purists and nonconformists. Prior to this release, Tyler’s records tended to dance around the line between legitimate rep- resentations of his psyche and mindless bangers. With his previous album suffer- ing from overbearing drone machines and poorly mixed vocals, Flower Boy shows Tyler’s growth as an artist and producer, having fi- nally found a way to realize his vision and create what could be one of the top albums of the year. Flower Boy – Tyler, Creator the You Told Who Think??!!?!?!?! – Milo to Pairing just the right amount of quirky attitude and pure cre- ativity, Flower Boy is easily As one of the most ex- perimental artists in rap, fans expected greatness from Milo on his newest LP and he most certain- ly delivered. Who Told is to Think??!!?!?!?! You an extension of his soph- omore effort, So the Flies Don’t Come, dabbling in stream-of-con- abstract science lyrics while incor- porating influence jazz and additional influences of glitch hop and cloud rap. His music is for hip hop nerds, specifically the ones who enjoy looking up every lyric to figure out deeper meanings and allusions to other points in the album. Beyond Mi- lo’s lyrics, the chaotic and trippy production of this record adds another barri- er to entry, making it one of the most inaccessible but rewarding listens of the summer. Science Fiction – Brand New As one of the premier emo bands of the mid- 2000’s, Brand New took the genre to new creative those of which heights, haven’t been matched since their radio silence after 2009’s Daisy. Frustra- tion aside, Science Fiction makes the wait seem worth every moment. Whether it’s the genre-blending on “Same Logic/Teeth” or the on-edge feeling “Desert,” Brand New shows both their maturity over the past eight years and their thirst to conquer rock music once again. The fantastic guitar work pairs well with varied percussion and harmoni- ous vocals, making Science Fiction the best record of its genre since the band took a break. check us out ONLINE stories videos photo galleries dailytexanonline.com RECYCLE your copy of NEWSCAST Listen Fridays at 5 P.M. 6039/Kunik Orthodontics; Process color 5635/C3 Presents; Process color MISS OUT ON A GENERAL ADMISSION SATURDAY TICKET?
