As a senior staf member working inside one of the information booths, inance senior Truc Nguyen said she enjoys encouraging young- er students to get excited about college. “It’s an opportunity for children and little kids to come to UT and know that they can come to college,” Nguyen said. “It’s for every- one. We want to tell younger students and families that college is an option.” Of the 50,000 people, about 19,500 were students representing 109 school districts and 230 individu- ally registered schools from across Texas. Advertising senior An- gelica King said she thinks the open attendance at house event has grown in recent years. “here’s always a pretty good turnout, and it seems like the volume of people who come to visit is steadi- ly increasing,” King said. “here are literally families everywhere, and I think the students know not to come out of their rooms.” Environmental science junior Zoi hompson, a volunteer at the event, said despite the increase in visi- tors, UT has been able to accommodate the students and their families. “It can be hard to ac- commodate all the people visiting, but UT is re- ally prepared and orga- nized after years of do- ing the event,” Thompson There are literally families everywhere, and I think the students know not to come out of their rooms. —Angelica King, Advertising senior said. “It’s really well set up to guide people to their interests.” hompson said there are changes even slight though schedule every year in events run by or- ganizations, she feels the objective of Explore UT continues to be to motivate younger generations toward higher education. “It’s up to the school and diferent organizations to put on the events, so some- times it changes, sometimes it stays the same,” homp- son said. “We’ve always strived to aim the events at younger kids to get them excited about coming to col- lege. I think the underlying motivation is to show that college is possible.” ATTENTION UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AWARDS TO BE GIVEN IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,000, $3,000 & $10,000 University Co-op George H.

If we chose not to [build a new of- fice] we would be spend- ing millions of dollars over the next couple of years to do those. By deciding to move, we can halt that and defer those costs and not make [those chang- es] and save money from the beginning.” Kelley said current oice space occupied across all ive System buildings totals ap- proximately 226,000 square feet, while the new build- ing will have about 258,000 square feet. “Because we’ll be more ef- iciently using the space, we can take the employees here and move them over to occu- py about 200,000 square feet, so we’ve got about 58,000 additional feet,” Kelley said. square Kelley said leasing out some of the space for com- mercial development has al- ways been a possibility. “We’d always envisioned potentially putting some re- tail on the irst loor,” Kelley said. “We thought that would be good for our employ- ees. We think, and we had discussions with the city, it also may create a catalyst for future development in this area, which we would also applaud as residents here during the day.” LaCoste-Caputo said ap- proximately 200 employees will be displaced once con- struction begins and will be temporarily moved to other office spaces around Austin. In a press release from the System, Kelley said the remaining Sys- tem buildings — O.Henry Hall, Claudia Taylor John- son Hall and Ashbel Smith Hall — will be available for leasing. “O. Henry Hall will remain owned by the UT System and leased to new tenants,” Kelley said in the press release. “he property housing the Clau- dia Taylor Johnson Building and Ashbel Smith Hall will be available for improvement or redevelopment.” System Chancellor Fran- cisco Cigarroa, who an- nounced last month that he is stepping down as chan- cellor, updated his higher improvement education for plan, “A Framework in Advancing Excellence,” 2012. In the plan, Cigarroa said he wanted the System to develop stronger “space utilization eiciencies.” NEWS Monday, March 3, 2014 3 W&N 3 Lauren Ussery / Daily Texan Staff Lauren Ussery / Daily Texan Staff Shweta Gulati / Daily Texan Staff Dwayne Smurdon, psychology senior and Predictable Data founder, said UT provides networking opportunities for entrepreneurs.

Metcalfe teaches Longhorn Startup, semester-long class that helps kick-start student businesses. a he University recently granted Metcalfe new space in Welch Hall for student entrepreneurs on campus.

One of Stanford’s most prominent is StartX, a competitive busi- ness incubator managed by Stanford students that pro- vides funds to students or faculty launching businesses. Metcalfe said the University is working on developing a similar fund, but the more important issue is the quality of Austin’s student startups, not the amount of money Mechanical engineering senior Aseem Ali, who founded the grocery delivery service Burpy, said starting a company is one of the best experiences UT has provided him.

As we grow them, the money will arrive.” Another challenge UT’s student entrepreneurial scene faces is a lack of gen- der diversity. Computer sci- ence junior Taylor Barnett, Money is not the problem. There is a big debate about this — some people believe Austin needs more money, I believe Austin needs better startups. As we grow them, the money will arrive. —Bob Metcalfe, Engineering professor president of the Technology Entrepreneurship Society, said she has been trying to encourage women to join the scene but has not had a lot of success. “A lot of times I will be the only female in the meeting,” Barnett said. “I’ve been trying to do more outreach to the Women in Computer Science group, and other groups, but you can’t force someone to be interested.” Capital Factory, an Aus- tin incubator that provides mentorship to new start- ups, lists 60 mentors on its website, six of whom are women. In interviews, many student business owners concerns echoed about whether the University owns a student’s intellec- tual property, which would grant the University ac- cess to a share of the stu- Students dent’s profits. say the System’s policy is not clear on the question of ownership. In Decem- ber, Paul Foster, chairman of the UT System Board of Regents, created an in- tellectual property task force to address this and other questions. The task force has not yet released any recommendations. “Nowhere in [the policy] does it say that intellectual property of non-employee students belong to the board,” said Juan Sanchez, UT’s vice president for research. “But what it also doesn’t say is in- tellectual property developed by non-employee students does not belong to the board. hat’s what we need.” Sanchez said the policy, though unclear, does not threaten students’ intellec- tual property. Greg Fenves, executive vice president and provost and a member of the task force, expressed a dif- ferent interpretation of the current policy. “The UT System Board of Regents’ policy currently is that the University can claim ownership of intel- that lectual property is developed by students,” Fenves said. “We would prefer to see a university policy where students, who develop intellectual prop- erty as part of classes that they are taking and pay- ing tuition for, own the intellectual property that they generate.” Sanchez said UT has never taken the intellectual prop- erty from students who are not being paid to do research and development. Sanchez and Fenves both said they hope the task force will ultimately rec- ommend that the board adapt precise language that states students can keep their intellectual property. Dale Klein, System associ- ate vice chancellor for re- search, who is also a mem- ber of the task force, said Austin and UT’s expanding startup spirit is making the System address this issue. “I think we’ve seen a whole dynamic change over the last 20 years — both in the city of Austin and the Uni- versity,” Klein said. “As a re- sult of that, I think we need to clarify our intellectual property policies so we can encourage that rather than discourage entrepreneur- ship by vague intellectual property requirements.” ENTREPRENEURIAL OPPORTUNITIES Longhorn Startup: A semester-long course that helps jump start teams that have already launched their companies.

Dan Patrick speaks during a debate at KERA studios in Dallas on Jan. 27. LM Otero / Associated Press hey threaten your business. hey threaten our state.” Staples, for his part, wasted no time in criti- cizing Patrick for the perceived discrepancy. “Dan Patrick hired four illegal immigrants to work at his bars,” said a recent campaign commercial for Staples. “[He] even sent a letter supporting one of his illegal workers’ request for amnesty.” he other candidates running against Pat- rick, incumbent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, have similarly piled on the scorn. “I guess [Patrick] was for amnesty before he was against it,” Patterson said. “he irony is Patrick has accused the rest of us of being sot on immigration, even for amnesty. … Hypoc- risy, thy name is Dan Patrick.” But amid the entire clamor over how much of a betrayal this evident lash of humanity has been, perhaps it is more important to note what happened ater the immigrant in ques- tion was granted amnesty. Speciically, how it has afected the country and state we all live in. Politicians such as Patrick like to say that giv- ing amnesty to undocumented immigrants re- wards their unlawful decisions, inevitably lead- ing to more unlawful decisions on their part. However, to my knowledge, Andrade has not lived a nefarious life of crime in the 25 years since he was granted amnesty by the Immigra- tion Reform and Control Act of 1986, signed, of all people, by former President Ronald Rea- gan, a godlike hero of the modern-day Repub- lican Party. Indeed, he has put down roots in the community, gotten married and provided for his children. Now, one of his children is giv- ing back to his country in the ultimate way, by defending it against enemies. Andrade, legal or not when irst migration oc- curred, is a success story for immigrants all across this country. And knowingly or not, Patrick helped this success story by recognizing a young man’s hu- manity and potential to this state. It is remarkably easy to paint immigration policy and rhetoric with a broad brush, merci- lessly criticizing those who yearn for a better life in this country. But when one examines the life stories of those like Andrade, the narrative be- comes more complicated. Patrick, and all those who may vote for him, need to remember that. Horwitz is a government junior from Houston. By Noah Horwitz Daily Texan Columnist @NmHorwitz In the early 1980s, an undocumented im- migrant named Mike Andrade began working at a Houston sports bar owned by local busi- nessman Dan Patrick. Andrade said his new boss was kind and understanding regarding his legal status, and even ofered to assist him in applying for permanent residency. Ater An- drade’s mother fell ill, Andrade said Patrick of- fered to smuggle him home and back for a visit. Roughly three decades later, a lot has changed. he owner of that bar has become a member of the state Senate and is a leading can- didate in the Republican primary for lieutenant governor. Arguably one of the most conserva- tive politicians in the state, Patrick has employed viciously anti-immigrant tactics throughout his campaign. In both campaign commercials and the televised debate for the lieutenant governor candidates, he has not been shy about using the incendiary term “invasion” to describe migra- tion from Latin America into this state. However, Patrick is not the only individual whose last three decades should be scrutinized. What happened to Andrade, the undocu- mented immigrant working in Patrick’s bar? Andrade, who has now lived here for 34 years, became a naturalized citizen in the early 1990s. Shortly thereater, he got married and had ive children, the oldest of whom valiantly serves his country in the U.S. military. he rest of the Andrades live in a house in the suburbs of Houston. Perhaps it is just me, but that sounds a lot like the American dream, and it sounds like Andrade has become a model citizen. On the campaign trail, politicians like Pat- rick and his opponents — such as Agricul- ture Commissioner Todd Staples — like to bemoan the entrance of these undocument- ed immigrants, warning they could bring about the end of life as we know it in Texas. “[Undocumented threaten your family,” Patrick said at a recent can- didates’ forum. “hey threaten your life. immigrants] GALLERY days of cordial gestures, have a conversation. You will be thrown back, not by them, but by the shock of realizing how normal — better yet, human — they are. Before you know it, you’re having lunch together and they intro- duce you to their friends and they inquire about the things you’re learning in school, absolutely absorbed. Sounds like a customary college encounter, right? his is not a utopian ideal, and if it is, how sad. Relationships like this are possible and, in fact, exist today. Jef, a friend of mine who spends most of his time in the area, his face stained red from enduring hours of unrelenting sunrays, his scalp visible from patches of missing hair, is one example. A common interest sparked the conversation: We both like bikes. He’s a proud owner of the sweetest ride I’ve ever seen — it’s shaped like a motorcycle! I bring him pecan pie, and every time we see each other he says, “Happy Birthday.” My girlfriend brings him a sandwich and sunblock. he appreciation spills out of his eyes. It’s so simple, yet the entire social dynamic changes — you will make an impression on your fellow students passing by, you will open the indigent individual up to the possibility that these young adults aren’t as naive and cold as previously conceived and you will show yourself that you had the capacity to act out of love in a way that felt right all along. Changing each other’s attitudes is what will have the everlasting positive efect. But, alas, we are scared. here are many dif- ferent types of homeless people, just as there are many types of people — and just because one has done us wrong does not mean we should not give others a chance. It’s time we changed our mind-set that the homeless are the problem, that our streets should be cleansed of them. Especially on days of near freezing temperatures, it would serve us well to show kindness to the home- less as the winter weather hurts them much more than it afects us. It’s safe to say that our generation hasn’t seen such a blatant general- ization of a demographic since the civil rights era. With just the slightest bit of compassion, we can collectively shit the paradigm and make our community a safer, happier and, in terms of this radical social mission here in Austin, a weirder place. Dominguez is a biology junior from San Antonio. By Francisco Dominguez Daily Texan Columnist Right when you thought we had escaped the winter that canceled the most days of class in recent memory, Austin is once again pum- meled by bizarre weather changes. Some may be upset that the annual Zilker Kite Festival was postponed, while others are excited by the possibility of another snow day. But on a cold night like Sunday night, whose concerns are more serious: yours in your warm apart- ment or those of a homeless person stuck out in the cold? You’re walking down the Drag at sun- down, and a pack of disheveled people loiter around 22nd Street — the direct route to and from school for many of us. hey peer at you with the sullen looks of people weathered by life’s hardest lessons. You watch them from afar as you approach, but the closer you get, the more you avert your gaze. Partially in- trigued, partially wary, you look back at them. “hey are unfamiliar, unpredictable,” your unconscious echoes. Let’s say one of the suspected homeless is dazed from enduring a summer-long heat stroke, or still shivering from this year’s anomalous record-low freezes. he delirium and indignation of his condition inally gets the best of him. Unprovoked, he releases whatever aggression he has by ranting aim- lessly, yelling violent or obscene things. Per- haps to get some kick out of his destitution, he spooks a student or two. Absurd policies of subjugation are currently in place to handle the mess, such as a 30-min- ute loitering rule requiring such individuals to move locations in the allotted time — be it a few mere inches in physical space. APD Lt. Tyson McGowan admits oicers “don’t have time” to enforce such inefective policies, ac- knowledging that authorities are constrained by city ordinances to act on this issue, while UTPD has zero jurisdiction in West Campus. Perhaps it’s time we take the solution into our own hands. Walk by and make eye contact. Say hello. Shake their hands and tell them, “Have a good day,” like you would anyone else. Ater a few COLUMN Black culture is American culture By Jordan Maney Daily Texan Columnist @JordanManey What did you learn this Black History Month? Be honest. Did you expand your knowledge beyond Martin, Malcolm and Rosa? Did you attend a cultural dinner on campus and learn about the importance of collard greens and fried catish in black cul- ture? Or did you just forget it because you’re not black and it doesn’t afect you? his isn’t a guilt piece. I won’t berate you with the usual arguments. Instead, let’s play a game. Close your eyes and go back to your elementary school classroom. You’re sitting in one of those blue, plastic chairs, writing something inappropriate on your desk when your teacher informs you it’s time for social studies. Try to remember all of those his- torical igures, wars and revolts you learned about. For every igure that looked like you, you get paid $1. How much did you make? In my entire elementary education I might have collected a sweet $10. I went to a wonder- ful school in Northern Virginia, where my third- grade teacher pronounced the country of Niger incorrectly and I was one of four black students in a student population of 600. I was taught black history through two-dimensional paper cutouts that hung on walls for 28 days and then were promptly stored away for 12 months until they’d be used again. My entire view of my identity and the contributions of my culture was skewed. If this cursory and oten negligent introduction to black Americans was your only interaction with black people, I’m sure your view was skewed, too. If not for my parents, my education on black Americans probably would have stayed there. But for many other cultures my education did stop at laminated cutouts used for history months. I didn’t learn about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II until I came to college. he Zoot Suit Riots? College. American Indian Movement? College. As much as I’ve cherished that explosion of historical knowledge, I hate that I had to wait 18 years to learn about it. I hate that a lot of people never will. he understanding and celebration of American culture have to start before we’re adults. For that to happen we need to teach our children about all Americans and encourage that throughout their lives. I’m embarrassed that in 2014 the celebration of black, Asian, Native American, Latino and female accomplishment in this country is still relegated to speciic times of the year and seg- mented into chapters, paragraphs and separate textbooks. hese histories are just as American as our forefathers’ legacies or Eisenhower’s presidency, so why are they constantly treated as supplemental instead of essential? I don’t want a black history month if it’s only purpose is to act as a pat on the back instead of an intentional learning experience. I don’t need UT to recognize it or large corporations to use it for inancial gain under the guise of honor- ing it. I just want a seat at the table. I’m not unhappy with Black History Month because of its existence. It was started in 1926 when black accomplishment was largely un- heard of outside of the black community. I just don’t believe that the approach we have now is the most efective way of educating people. he celebration of black and other cultural months is largely internal. I don’t think that’s the purpose. Educating people about your culture is not the problem. he problem happens when we don’t have the same fervor for everyone else’s. In order to change that, we have to look at our deinition of American culture and ex- pand it to be inclusive of every American. If we don’t do that we won’t be able to educate, celebrate or understand one another. Our textbooks and our schools need to relect that. Without a proper understanding of the past, we’re doomed to repeat it. Students, no matter their race or background, are owed the opportu- nity to learn about American history as it was, not as it’s been constructed to exclude and forget. he one who holds the pen decides what is written. I just wish we all were holding it. May- be one day we will, but until we’re on the same page, many of us will stay locked in the margins and in between the brackets of a calendar block.

NEWS Monday, March 3, 2014 STUDENT GOVERNMENT SG claims new reforms will create more proportional representation By Nicole Cobler @nicolecobler Students voted over- whelmingly to pass two Stu- dent Government referen- dums during campus-wide elections hursday, even though the full details of the changes were not available on the ballot. Philip Wiseman, chief justice for the SG Judicial Court, said the referendums would change the Student Government constitution. Some changes include add- ing speciic protocols for transparency, establishing a method for apportioning college and school repre- sentation in the assembly and granting the president veto power over bills. “At the end of the day, these reforms had several objectives, but it was to make SG more transparent, reinforce the checks and balances between branches and make sure we’re becom- ing in legal compliance with System rules and state and federal law,” Wiseman said. Currently, colleges re- ceive one representative for every 2,500 students enrolled. Some colleges in- clude only undergraduates in this count while others include both graduate and undergraduate students. Wiseman said the change to this rule would apportion representation according to graduate and undergradu- ate populations within ev- ery college. he amended constitution says the number of represen- tatives will be “based upon the proportion of representa- tion among the college and school representatives in the In reality, if the executive branch is the one carrying that out, there needs to be a check and balance between the legislative branch, and it just wasn’t there before. —Philip Wiseman, Chief justice for the SG Judicial Court Assembly for the respective college or school as equal as possible to the proportion of the student body enrolled in the respective college or school.” said Wiseman the amendment increases the assembly’s size and more proportionally represents college. Andrew each Houston, chair of rules and regulations, is the school of architecture representa- tive and said he worked closely with Wiseman to improve representation. “he school of architecture has 800 students including graduate students,” Hous- ton said. “Graduate students make up a larger portion of the school, but those people did not count, and graduate students could not be served.” Among the changes, the referendum also grants the SG president the power to veto bills. Before this amend- ment, the president only had the power to veto legislation. Wiseman said this would en- sure that ater the president submits the budget to the assembly, there would be a check and balance over any changes made. “In reality, if the executive branch is the one carrying that out, there needs to be a check and balance between the legislative branch, and it just wasn’t there before,” Wiseman said. Kori Rady, incoming Stu- dent Government president, said he does not see himself using the new power in the upcoming year. “I think it’s deinitely a last resort kind of deal,” Rady said. “You don’t want to use a veto unless you ab- solutely have to.” According to Wiseman, SG passed amendments in 2011, which failed to gar- ner any administrative ap- proval, so Wiseman said SG continued operating outside jurisdiction of the UT Sys- tem Board of Regents. “his is something that hasn’t been accomplished since about 1995,” Wise- man said. “We’re not even sure those suggestions and amendments were formally and inally approved, so this could potentially be a pro- cess that hasn’t been done in over 50 years.” In January, the amend- ments were passed through SG assemblies, and then passed as referendums dur- ing campus-wide elections last week. he referendums will move on to be signed of by the dean of students and the vice president of student afairs. Follow- ing this, President William Powers Jr. and the UT Sys- tem Board of Regents must approve them. @thedailytexan Follow us for news, updates and more. CAMPUS 5 Assistant psychology professor David Yeager speaks on the effects of bullying prevention Friday afternoon. Isolation characterizes teen bullying Jenna VonHofe / Daily Texan Staff By Wynne Davis @wynneellyn Assistant psychology pro- fessor David Yeager said bul- lying prevention programs in schools have no efect on adolescents during their eighth grade and high school years at a lecture Friday. According to Yeager, these programs are oten mandat- ed by the Texas Legislature in response to adolescent suicides. While the preven- tion programs are generally efective for elementary and early middle school students, Yeager said the programs do nothing for the adolescent age group. Yeager shared indings from multiple studies he has done surrounding bullying prevention in schools. He said he is interested in how to prevent bullying but is more interested in how to prevent its efects. During his presen- tation, Yeager said bullies no longer target others by physi- cal means, but by exclusion. “For ninth graders, these are the kids with the best skills that are the best at bul- lying — kids who know how to insult you in just the right way, make you feel like you’re nothing in just the right way,” Yeager said. Nursing assistant profes- sor Karen Johnson said she can see Yeager’s research hav- ing major policy implications for addressing bullying. rapid “It’s a reminder that we as a society oten forget that adolescence is a very unique and developmen- tal age,” Johnson said. “We can’t lump adolescents with children or with adults and expect that we’ll get similar outcomes from your preven- tion eforts.” In one of his studies, Yea- ger simulated a game of catch on the computer where the teenage participants thought they were playing a game with two other students. Ater a few times of being passed the ball, the other two students didn’t throw the participant the ball anymore. the excluded participants similar thoughts that they were losers, that their lives would always be like what they experienced in the game or that they were ashamed. Researchers conduct- ing the study also educated par- ticipants about how both bul- lies’ and victims’ personalities and actions change over time.

Richardson, who is spe- cializing in psychiatric and mental health, said she hopes to apply Yeager’s findings in her future prac- tice because the long-term resilience the participants have after going through the exercise can possibly prevent conditions such as clinical depression. 6 SPTS STEFAN SCRAFIELD, SPORTS EDITOR / @texansports Monday, March 3, 2014 6 PASSES REDUCED!

MEN’S BASKETBALL | TEXAS 65, OKLAHOMA 77 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Texas drowns in turnovers, gives Red River Rivalry away Horns hope to use expertise vs. OK State By Stefan Scraield @StefanScraield NORMAN, Okla. — stand- freshman With out Isaiah Taylor in early foul trouble, Texas head coach Rick Barnes was forced to find out what his offense was capable of without its starting point guard Saturday. later, His answer? A calamity of errors. Sixteen turn- overs the Long- horns found themselves on the losing end of yet another blowout on the road, dropping a 77–65 decision to the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman. “The thing that both- ered me most with the guards was the turnovers,” Barnes said. “Nearly every guard turned it over at least once and they scored 23 points off turnovers, so that was the difference in the game.” Taylor committed two costly fouls in the first half and a third one early on in the second frame, sending him to the bench for much of the game. The Longhorns’ half-court of- fense was a disaster with- out his direction, hurl- ing errant passes, tossing up ill-advised shots and struggling to run set plays. “When you play away games, you can’t turn the ball over,” sophomore guard Demarcus Holland said. “You have to give yourself a chance to win. We shot the ball well so that wasn’t an issue. We just have to take care of the ball.” Sophomore guard Javan Felix was tasked with re- placing Taylor at the top of the Texas offense and couldn’t handle the re- sponsibility. Felix often frantic while appeared running offense, the tossing the ball directly to a crimson and cream uniform on multiple oc- casions. Felix, a Louisi- ana native, finished with com- turnovers three pared to just two points on the afternoon. The Texas backcourt’s inability to take care of BASKETBALL page 7 By Jori Epstein @JoriEpstein in Back January, Texas fought valiantly against then- No. 11 Oklahoma State in an attempt to open conference play with a win. Junior forward Nneka Enemkpali contributed 18 points and nine rebounds to the battle, and sophomore guard Brady Sanders hit 10 second-half points in hopes of closing the gap. But the Cowgirls outlasted Texas with a 67-61 win. Some things haven’t changed since then. Oklahoma State (22-6, 11-6 Big 12) still holds a top-15 ranking, while Texas hasn’t been ranked all sea- son. Enemkpali is still play- ing well for Texas, scoring 19 points to complement nine rebounds against Texas Tech this weekend. And Sanders still explodes in the second half, as she notched 13 of her career-high 17 points Saturday ater the half. But with this leadership, one thing has changed: Texas has won conference games. And it’s won a lot of them at home. To name one, the Texas Tech team that competed to a 3-point game at buzzer Saturday lost by 37 at the Frank Erwin Center on Feb. 5. he inconsistency is striking. But the Longhorns’ home success should bode better for them Monday night than the rocky conference start. “It was a competitive game, a little bit ugly,” head coach Karen Aston said of the Jan. 2 matchup. “It looked like the irst game of the Big 12, a little bit slower pace than both teams play, just trying to igure out … the nerves of the irst Big 12 game.” State Oklahoma Leaving the nerves and slow pace behind in January, the Longhorns (19-10, 10-7 Big 12) have done some catching up. Sitting just one game behind Oklahoma State in the Big 12, Texas’ hope lies in rebounding. out- rebounded Texas 40-38 on Jan. 2, and the teams tied with 28 points a piece in the paint. But Texas now tops the Cow- girls’ 2.6-rebound advantage in conference play. his is where Enemkpali, who averages 8.8 rebounds per game, will have to rise to the occasion. Aston said the team’s re- bounding struggled in Stillwa- ter, Okla., and depended heav- ily on Enemkpali. “It was signiicant when [En- emkpali] got her fourth foul because she’s such a terriic ofensive rebounder,” Aston said. “I really thought we lost all of our ofensive rebound- ing during that stretch when she was out of the game. We just had to try some combina- tions that were, to say the least, very inexperienced.” Most of these combinations have gained experience in the 16 conference games since Still- water. But the Cowgirls haven’t sat idly, either, as their top-15 ranking shows. hough the ranking gap looks large nationally, Texas has a chance to catch Oklahoma State in the Big 12 on Monday night. With senior night and their conference standing on the line, the Longhorns have a lot to prove.

SPORTS BRIEFLY Former PA announcer Wally Pryor dies at 86 he former “Voice of the Longhorns,” Wally Pryor, died Saturday at the age of 86. Pryor served as the public address an- nouncer for Texas’ basket- ball and football programs for nearly 40 years. the he former announcer was known for his sense of humor and constant hijinks over loud speaker. Among his hi- jinks, he interspersed scores from a small Penn- sylvania college into his Texas annnouncing and told crowds how his good friend, a former mayor of Luckenbach, Texas, need- ed to once again pick up his drunken grandmother from beer gardens and dance halls. “hose things were leg- endary,” Bob Cole, who succeeded Pryor with Big Little in 2000, told the Austin American-States- man. “Wally had that special git of not being noticed for anything bad but being able to do some things we could never do.” Pryor, a Texas alumnus, was named to the Long- horn Men’s Hall of Honor in 1977 for his announc- ing work, his time on the University’s water polo team, his participation in two Southwest Confer- ence swimming champi- onships and his work as an emcee at numerous university charity events.

Murillo sufered a stroke the day before Christmas that let the let side of his body paralyzed, but that didn’t stop him from being at the season opener against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. He at- tributed his speedy recovery to an active youth, when he boxed against future Olym- pians such as Lety Barrera. “I’m 83 years old,” Mu- rillo said. “If you take good care of yourself, you’ll be fine. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t chase bad women, I chase good wom- en. I’m just fine.” hese days, Murillo can be found at any Texas home game by the dugout, talking with the players and cheering on the team that has meant so much to him over the years. And, just like with his precious home in East Aus- tin, he doesn’t think he’s go- ing anywhere any time soon. a thrust stage, where the ac- tors are surrounded on three sides by the audience to al- low for more interaction. “We also have what’s called a ‘Renaissance Run,’” Rue said. “On the irst day of rehearsal, we all show up with our lines completely memorized. We meet each other for the irst time and we rehearse the play without the director. We end up having to become a team from day one, and the prin- ciple behind that is that Shake- speare’s actors would have rehearsed plays in a pretty similar way. It’s only us trying to negotiate and communicate with each other.” This approach to re- hearsing the plays allows rehearsal periods to be shorter and allows actors to put up more shows per year, according to Glenn Schudel, the center’s tour manager assistant and director. Schudel said the center’s ac- tors do not try to do the exact same thing that Shakespeare’s actors would have done. “We want to make audi- ences understand how modern Shakespeare can be,” Schudel said. “Because the things that he wrote about — power, ambi- tion, jealousy, love, greed — are relevant even today. We want to tap into the beautiful language of Shakespeare and recreate the staging conditions that he wrote for. Audiences should look forward to being involved in the play themselves in a way that they’ve never been before.” MASQUERADE continues from page 10 Feb. 16. The event focused on bringing multiple African American culture groups together to educate students on black history at UT. The last event of the month was the career expo, Black to Business. While each of these events was advertised, Ealy said he wishes there could have been greater campus involvement. “The one difficulty that we have had in gaining interest is the assumption that Black to Business is only for African Ameri- can students,” Ealy said. “This assumption is not true.

Now an 83-year-old man, Murillo vividly recalls his personal relationship to players and coaches such as Dar- rell Royal and Mack Brown. You can ind Murillo at any home baseball game in his favorite spot by the dugout. Royal’s closest friend bleeds orange for UT Sam Ortega / Daily Texan Staff everything inside Murillo’s small, East Austin home is a remnant of a long, fruitful re- lationship with UT Athletics. Every piece of clothing in view has a hint of the signa- ture burnt orange on it. Por- traits of star running back Earl Campbell and legend- ary football coach Darrell Royal populate the walls. In one photo, Murillo is smiling with Royal. In another, he has one arm around singer George Strait and the other around Willie Nelson. he inal photo he shows depicts a smiling Gov. Rick Perry alongside Murillo. “I’ve never voted for him, but he’s a nice man,” Mu- rillo said. Murillo has been attend- ing UT games since 1953. In that time, he’s gone from an enthusiastic fan to Royal’s personal driver. Among his relics from the days is a let- ter written by former football coach Mack Brown. “You’re a good man and we all appreciate you,” the letter said. “We’ll see you at prac- tice soon.” Murillo is currently em- ployed as, and was initially offered a job as, a ticket “gopher” on the stadium grounds because he was a friendly face that was always around. them a lot.” “he coaches would say, ‘Hey Louis — go for this,’ or, ‘Hey Louis, go for that,’ so they just called me a gopher,” Murillo said. But, long before it was his job, Murillo lived and breathed Texas sports. Murillo was born in Aus- tin in 1931. Ater fourth grade, he dropped out of school to begin working when he was 12. he homp- son family, who owned a 7-Eleven in the East side of Austin, ofered Murillo a job selling groceries. “They were great peo- ple,” Murillo said. “I owe When the hompsons sent Murillo to the UT stadium grounds to sell sodas, he heard stories of the great UT quarterback Bobby Layne, whose accomplishments of the late ’40s and early ’50s drew the attention of mil- lions, including Murillo. In 1950, Murillo took a break from the Longhorns when he was drated into the U.S. Army and deployed in Korea as a mechanic. Sitting at his kitchen table, Murillo emptied a leather pouch into his hands, and several Army medals fell out onto his hands. He vividly remembers the moment he was told he was going home ater 16 1/2 grueling months on the front lines. “As a grown man, I cried,” Murillo said. “I did not want to go back [to Korea].” When Murillo returned from Korea, he returned to his job at 7-Eleven. He began going to the football games as a spectator, not just to sell sodas. Over the years he be- came a familiar face at the stadium, and he built a rap- port with the coaching staf.
