Mondays vote marked the Houses final approval for the bill, which re­ quires physicians to provide the woman an opportunity to see a sono­ gram and hear a fetal heartbeat. The woman may turn her head or ask the doctor to turn off the heart beat, but still must listen to a description of the image. The doctor is also mandated to describe the abortion procedure and related risks. The bill passed the House with 107 members voting in favor. The Senate will now review the amendments the House added and then form a joint committee which will eventually draft the copy the governor will review. “We saw an overwhelming m a­ jority support the bill, and I am very pleased,” said Rep.

Derek Stout | D aily le x a n Staff Students celebrate week of feminism By A hsika Sanders Daily Texan Staff Students came out of the feminist closet Monday to tell their tales of gender equality. The Gender and Sexuality Center opened their celebration of National Feminist Week with the truth wall, imitating Post Secret — a commu­ nity mail art project where strangers anonymously send secrets on post­ cards for publication. Advertising junior Stephen Perl, a self-identified feminist, said the main goal of the project is to give a face to feminism and remove the stigma that is attached to it. “The face of feminism isn’t nec­ essarily a white, female person,” he said. “We want to provide a space for people to tell their feminist truth and say what you couldn’t normally express in society as a feminist.” Spencer Mainka, anthropolo­ gy junior and director of the Queer Students Alliance, said feminism is about acknowledging finding pow­ er in being a woman as opposed to feeling inferior. “To me, feminism is being aware that, as a woman, there are cer­ tain things that you have to be con­ cerned about in making your way in this world that a man doesn’t neces­ sarily have to,” she said. Mainka said she hopes students who have shied away from the idea in the past will be better informed and feel empowered by recognizing feminism throughout the week. “I think that within our genera­ tion there is no Rosie the Riveter and no big thing that is rallying our gen­ eration to proclaim: T am a woman, I am strong and I can do this,”’ she said. “So I think it’s really important that we claim these things and pro­ test that we are a community rally­ ing together.” In today’s context, to understand feminism you have to understand COMING OUT DAY Planned Parenthood Lobby Day — Tuesday at 10:30 a m at the Texas Capitol Truth Telling: A Feminist Act — Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Gender and Sexuality Center International Women's Day host­ ed by the National Women's Po­ litical Caucus— Tuesday at 11 a.m. on the West Mail what it means to be a woman in a variety of contexts, said education­ al psychology graduate student De­ sire Taylor. “There are all these layers to what FEMINISM continues on PAGE 2 Austin police report confirms declining violent crime rates By M a rty M cA nd rew s Daily Texan Staff Citywide violent and property crimes reached a six-year low late last month, according to a new Austin Police Department report. According to the report, citywide violent crime decreased by 19.1 per­ cent, from 225 instances of violent crime to 198, far exceeding APD’s goal of a 1-percent reduction in vio­ lent crime from 2010 to 2011. Prop­ erty crime shows a 6-percent year-to- date decline, from 3,271 total proper­ ty crimes to 2,738. APD lieutenant Nick Wright said the department generated the report using CompStat, a software program that compares collected and cata­ loged crime data. In previous years, the program did not have enough data to generate trends from the sta­ tistics. “We utilize what I call Comp Stat forecasting,” Wright said. “I look ahead, I see what’s coming, and I say I’m going to beat the rush.” The report also demonstrates a 300-percent increase in bank robber­ ies, or three more, from 2010.

Quote to note "It's okay to be involved in the business world, to get a big job, but there's more to it than the paycheck; there's also the social aspect that comes with it." — Phillip Niels Co-founder of Brothers and Sisters in Business LIFE&ARTS PAGE 10 T h e D a i l y T e x a n Volume 111, Number 162 BILL continues from PAGE 1 Tuesday, March 8,2011 Robstown. “ Right now the House and Senate bills are very different, and the task now is to come up with a final bill” Last week, representatives vot­ ed on a preliminary measure and amended the bill 34 times but left most of the original language in tact. Rep. Carol Alvarado, D-Hous­ ton, said she voted against the bill because the Republican m ajori­ ty is neglecting the pressing fis­ cal issues facing the state, includ­ ing a multi-billion-dollar budget shortfall. The bill will become law eventually because of the support of Gov. Rick Perry, who declared the issue an emergency item that allowed lawmakers to address it immediately, she said. “I am very disappointed in the outcome today,” Alvarado said. “I feel there are much more im ­ portant items to focus on, like the budget.” During last week’s debate, A l­ varado brought a trans-vaginal ul­ trasound instrument to show her colleagues what the sonogram bill would require, she said. “ It’s not just the jelly-on-the- belly ultrasound, it’s more intru­ sive,” she said. “Even some of the members were not aware of that until I mentioned it at the meet­ ing.” Victoria Heckenlaible, presi­ dent of University Life Advocates, said the b ill grants women the right to know the facts involved in an abortion while giving the op­ tion of receiving a sonogram. “ W e’re excited and happy to see this pass,” said H eckenlai­ ble, a rhetoric and w riting ju ­ nior. “ (A woman] should have access to com plete in fo rm a­ tion despite her doctor’s bias or the level of medical care that she can afford.” Heckenlaible said the pro-life group w ill continue following at least four other abortion-specific bills that have been filed, includ­ ing the “Choose Life” bill, which would make pro-life license plates available and ban hospital funding for abortions. “With the sonogram bill, partic­ ularly, we have been lobbying dur­ ing pro-life day (at the Capitol] and writing letters to our representa­ tives and senators,” she said.

The current stage evolved in the last couple of decades and is more encompassing, incorporat- ing women of color and non-tra- ditional sexual preferences, M ac­ Kay said. She said she finds it most inter­ esting when she has students who say they are not feminist because they associate feminism with neg­ ative connotations. “ If they say yes when I ask them if they believe in equal pay for equal work, 1 say you are a feminist and you have to decide for yourself what part you want to own,” she said. M acKay said the growing num­ ber of self-identified male fem i­ nists is unique and beneficial in this new wave of feminism. “ They are more willing to speak about it and less inclined to take up the prejudicial behavior of the past that was demeaning to wom­ en,” she said. “So as far as that is concerned, college is an excellent time for that sensitive quality to be nurtured and developed.” CRIME continues from PAGE 1 numbers. Statistically it looks hor­ rible, but it’s not a true great in­ crease,” Wright said. Wright said he hesitates to con­ nect the increase in bank robberies to the state of the national econo­ my. “The issue isn’t general, it’s indi­ vidual,” he said. “All it takes is a tew people crazy or desperate enough to do something like rob a bank.” Wright said as temperatures rise there are more opportunities for crime because of large events like Mardi Gras, South by Southwest, Texas Relays and the Republic of Texas Biker Rally. APD develops initiatives to com­ bat crime during these periods, in­ cluding placing more officers on overtime at designated times to combat thefts or assaults, Wright said. U T Police Department officer Darrell Halstead said his division also uses reports and forecasting to look at where current crime trends are and account for them. During spring break, U T P D sees an increase in auto burglar­ ies because students leave their be­ longings inside their cars, Halstead said. Property crime also increas­ es around this time of year during University Interscholastic League tournaments. Laura Smith, executive director of Austin’s Crime Prevention Insti­ tute, said programs that help ex-of­ fenders adjust to life outside pris­ on are proven to reduce property crime. Smith said the institute started this type of program in 2009 and has had desirable results. In 2010, the program celebrated a 71-percent ex-offender employ­ ment rate. The institute found jobs for nearly 3,550 former prisoners, Smith said. An ex-offender with a job is three times less likely to com­ mit another crime than an unem­ ployed ex-offender, she said. Crime Prevention Through En ­ vironm ental Design is a set of crim e prevention strategies em­ ployed in designing buildings, said Daniel Keller, executive director of the Am erican Crime Prevention Institute. “C P T ED uses lighting, access and natural surveillance to reduce the comfort the bad guys are going to feel when they decide whether or not to commit a crime,” Keller said. Keller said C PT ED is especial­ ly relevant to a campus constant­ ly under construction like U T be­ cause the program is most success­ fully employed in the design of new buildings. C P T ED is put into practice all over the United States, Keller said. The strategies of C P T ED aim to rob wrongdoers of the anonym­ ity that permits them to commit crimes, he said.

SENATOR continues from PAGE 1 the sorority that were picked,” said Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Plano. “ I was very pleased to be a part of the organization. It was a very w orth­ while service organization and it was an honor to be accepted.” About 45 years ago, Shapiro was drawn to Alpha Epsilon Phi, O r­ ange Jackets and Texas Spooks for their emphasis on community ser­ vice. Spooks has been a women’s stu­ dent organization at U T since 1941, but members voted to rename the organization to Texas Spirits in 1993. Shapiro was a member from 1966 to 1968. Texas Spirits President Katie Koe­ hler said Spooks began as a secret or­ ganization where members would paint windows on the Drag in the middle of the night on Sundays to raise school spirit. Members left the campus wondering how the artwork appeared when students saw it M on­ day morning, she said. great things.” Shapiro moved to Plano in 1973, and community leaders asked her to run for the city council in 1979. “ T hat’s how my p o litical ca­ reer started, locally,” Shapiro said. “1 started building off of my volunteer work.” Shapiro eventually became may­ or of Plano in 1990, facing the task of managing a city which had grown by 182,000 in nearly two decades. She said that task was nothing compared to what she faced when she was elect­ ed to the Senate in 1992, after taking the advice of her friend U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas. “I think this is the place you ought to look at, 1 think you would en­ joy the state Senate,” Shapiro said Hutchison told her. From 1992 to 1993 when she first entered the Capitol as a senator, Sha­ piro said she realized how different local and state offices were. “Our whole purpose is to serve the U T and Austin community whenev­ er and wherever possible,” said Koe­ hler, an accounting junior. “We are very proud to have the senator as [one of] our alumni.” “ It was exhilarating and excit­ ing, but 1 learned very' quickly when we started session how very little 1 knew,” she said. “ I used to like to say that it was like trying to take a sip of water out of a fire hydrant.” In 1993, Shapiro, a R ep ubli­ can, was elected to represent Sen­ ate District 8 of Plano. O n her road to the statehouse, Shapiro said she set classes as her top priority when she was a student in the College of Education. “ If I didn’t do well in class, 1 wouldn’t be able to stay in those or­ ganizations, so classes were very im ­ portant to me,” she said. Form er classmate Judy Brooks took a speech course with Shapiro. Brooks said the senator’s speaking abilities stood out. The two were also in Spooks during the same years. “She was always a very dynam­ ic person,” said Brooks, who works as an office manager for Sen. Mike Jackson, R-Pasadena. “You could tell she could do anything she wanted to do. You knew she was going to do Shapiro said the 82nd Legislature is much more difficult than previ­ ous sessions because of the estimated budget shortfall of $15 billion to $27 billion and the effect of the econom­ ic recession on Texas. “I think what we need to do is get the state to cut back as we’ve been doing in public education and try to refrain from mandates, give high­ er education and public education more flexibility to spend the money they have in the best way they can,” she said. Shapiro said that she is trying to maintain the “role model” status of Texas public and higher education, including UT. “ I’m very proud of the University in their scholarship and education,” she said. “ I’m very proud to be [an alumna] at the University of Texas.” YOUR COPY OF T h e D a i l y T e x a n Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return .

Weeks after the state Senate passed a slightly milder version o f the legislation, the state House passed the bill Monday, requiring even victims o f rape and incest to undergo the traumatic and intrusive process. Meanwhile, the U.S. House o f Representatives passed the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act last month to block federal funding for Planned Parenthood — a 95-year-old federation that pro­ vides reproductive health care and education for more than 1 m illion people each year — and other organizations that perform abortions. Title X is the only federal grant program that is solely dedicated to providing family planning services and preven­ tive health services. Rep. Mike Pence, R-Indiana, who introduced the legislation, said before the U.S. House o f Represen­ tatives that organizations that provide abortion ser­ vices should not be subsidized by federal tax dollars. Planned Parenthood received about S363 million from government grants and contracts in 2 0 08-09, according to the organization’s most recent report. However, only 3 percent o f the organization’s ser­ vices were abortion-related. Moreover, many mistakenly believe that the deci­ sion to defund Planned Parenthood would affect only women who seek abortions. However, more than 90 percent o f Planned Parenthood services involve pre­ ventive primary care, providing both men and wom­ en with testing for sexually transmitted infections and with sexual health education aimed to help prevent unwanted pregnancies. These services also allow for safe and reliable breast and cervical examinations. College students especially benefit from the afford­ ability and accessibility o f the care that Planned Par­ enthood offers. Since the legislation’s passage in the House, several female senators and representatives have spoken out against the proposal. As Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D- New York, said emphatically before the Senate last week, House Republicans have “engaged in an all-out assault” and have shown a “heinous disregard” for the health, safety and well-being of women, children and families in America. With legislation at the state level threatening the freedom for a woman or family to choose to have an abortion and legislation at the federal level defunding organizations that provide reproductive health ser­ vices and care, the rights o f men, women and children to receive quality sexual education and health care are in jeopardy. Take a stand, and join the effort against this usur­ pation o f rights: Planned Parenthood of the Texas Capital Region, which serves more than 33,000 Central Texans each year, is leading an effort with other pro-choice supporters on the south side o f the Capitol today to emphasize the importance of funding and supporting reproductive health and freedom. — Viviana A ldous for the editorial board GALLERY This spring break, fight the death penalty By Rachel Fuerst Daily Texan Guest Columnist Students Against the Death Penalty will host the Anti-Death Penalty Alternative Spring Break on the U T campus from March 14-18. The program is designed to give stu­ dents an opportunity to participate in some­ thing meaningful during their week off. The alternative spring break — which is co-sponsored by Texas M oratorium Net­ work, Witness to Innocence, U T Campaign to End the Death Penalty, Amnesty Interna­ tional and numerous other organizations — is a unique opportunity for people interested in human rights and the death penalty to spend their spring break learning from and working with experts on the death penalty as well as with six exonerees who each spent years on death row for crim es they did not commit. The specific purpose o f this alternative spring break is to bring students to Austin for five days of anti-death-penalty activism and education in a social environment. You will learn how to put your knowledge and pas­ sion into play and use your influence to push the public discourse to challenge injustice. Students will gain valuable training and experience in grassroots organizing, lobby ing, managing a rally at the Texas Capitol and conducting media relations. During the week, students will be able to immediately put what they learn into action during ac­ tivities such as a “Day of Innocence” on the statewide Lobby Day Against the Death Pen­ alty on Wednesday, March 16 at the Capitol. Participants will com e away with firsthand knowledge o f the anti-death-penalty move­ ment and a new understanding of how they can affect public policy. Now is an im portant time in the effort to end the death penalty. After an 11 -year m oratorium , Illinois may soon abolish the death penalty if its governor signs an abo­ lition bill proposed by Illinois legislators. Students who attend the alternative spring break will train to join both the national e f­ fort against the death penalty and to help stop executions in Texas — the leading execution state in the country. Since 1982, Texas has executed 466 men and women, and currently, 314 people await their execu­ tions in Texas prisons. Activists, attorneys, victims’ families and individuals exonerated from death row will all join together at the spring break event to fight to end the death penalty. You can be a part of this movement. If you attend the alternative spring break, you will have the opportunity to speak with Anthony Graves, who was exonerated in O c­ tober 2010 after spending 18 years on death row as an innocent man. Sam Millsap, who served as an elected district attorney in Bexar County, will also speak. Millsap opposes the death penalty because he believes he might have prosecuted an innocent man, Ruben Cantu, who was executed in 1993. You will also have the opportunity to speak with Judge Charlie Baird, a former judge on the Texas Court o f Criminal Appeals. In 2010, Judge Baird heard testimony in a case brought up by Cameron Todd W illingham’s family, who were seeking a ruling on whether the Texas justice system wrongfully execut­ ed Willingham. A higher court stopped the hearing, preventing Judge Baird from issuing a decision. Interacting with these individuals will provide you with the knowledge neces­ sary to effectively lobby politicians who have the power to impose a moratorium on the death penalty in Texas. This spring break, join fellow students from around the nation in fighting the death penalty. This is not a symbolic fight for your beliefs. It is a fight for each and every life on death row. It is time to break the m achin­ ery of death in Texas. It is time for students around the nation to take part in the fight to save individual men and women from the ex­ ecution chamber.

Tuesday, March 8, 2011 H e w s 5 Restaurants raise funds for Texas 4000 By Yvonne Marquez Daily Texan Staff Students helped fight cancer by ordering chicken wings at Pluckers on Monday. Texas 4000, a student charity orga­ nization whose members ride bicy­ cles from Austin to Anchorage, Alas­ ka, every summer to raise money for cancer research, is fundraising this week at five restaurants near cam­ pus. Each day, a different restaurant w ill be raising money to be donat­ ed to cancer research organizations, including the M D Anderson Can­ cer Center and LIVEST R O N G . The team’s final goal is to raise $350,000 by the end of this year. “ I think this is another way the students are coming up with creative ways to create funds to fight cancer,” said Texas 4000 Executive Director Jamille Ruebsahm. “ Every dollar is closer to a day when there is no can­ cer and the fight is over.” When a customer mentions Tex­ as 4000 when ordering at the restau­ rants, a portion of the sale will be do­ nated, said Matt Song, a Texas 4000 member and biology senior. “W e thought it was a great idea to reach out to the community and a great way to fundraise because peo­ ple are always going to be eating," Song said. It is important for Texas 4000 to raise money to donate to organiza­ tions to use for research facilities, treatment and to pay doctors, Song said. The charity relies on the com­ munity and on many people in the world who help their cause finan­ cially, he said. “A bigger priority for us is shar­ ing hope, knowledge and preven­ tion information on our journey up to Alaska,” Song said. Tommy Vinyard, an aerospace engineering sophomore and Tex­ as 4000 member, brought his fami­ ly to eat at Pluckers. His mom, Anne Brown, is a 2004 breast cancer survi­ vor. Brown said she is amazed by the Texas 4000 team and their efforts to support cancer research. “ 1 think its great Texas 4000 is helping raise money to fund research and maybe eventually help find a cure,” Brown said. “It will definitely help the quality of life. I greatly ap­ preciate what they do.” Cornucopia, located on Guadal­ upe Street near Veggie Heaven, will donate 20 percent of each sale they make between 4 and 8 p.m. today. Texas 4000 riders Steve Trenfield and Kelly Bahng place an order at Pluckers in support of their fundraiser, "Feast for the Fight." The rid­ ers will be holding fundraisers at various eateries around town ail week long.

A friend of Guzmdn, Wiseman said the film was shot in the vast Ata­ cama Desert and was featured in the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. It moves between women searching for the skeletons of those they loved who said. “Anyone who sees it can’t help but take away the women's tragedy of losing family to a dictator and mur­ der.” Carcamo-Huechante, a Mapuche Indian from Chile, talked about the history of the Chilean dictatorship scholar Stacy Cammarano. “ This film is a great avenue for people with different academic backgrounds to think about enforced disappearance, the transition and recovery from hu­ man rights abuses and how those themes are portrayed in film.” ["Nostalgia de la Luz"] is an extraordinary work of art and advocacy... _ _ — Zipporah Wiseman, Law professor were murdered by the Chilean dic­ tator Augusto Pinochet and the huge astronomical observatory at the top of a mountain above them, where as­ tronomers gaze into the cosmos. “ The film is an extraordinary work of art and advocacy,” Wiseman and gave a broader background of human rights in Chile, putting the issue into a larger context. “I hope that attendees are moved by the film, either by its artistic ex­ pression or by its grave subject mat­ ter,” said Rapoport Human Rights The screening is the first event by the newly-created Human Rights and the Arts Working Group, a mix of professors and graduate students from multiple departments who are working to bring arts to campus and have a human rights discussion. “Art is so often used for human rights advocacy, or as a means of un­ derstanding and coping with trau­ matic events,” Cammarano said. “We chose this movie because it is a per­ fect example of the intersection of art and human rights.” By Amy Thornton Daily Texan Staff Art and human rights converged Monday night at a film screening featuring Chilean political prison­ ers of the Pinochet dictatorship who looked to the stars as a way to pre­ serve their inner freedom. The Rapoport Center for H u ­ man Rights and Justice sponsored the event. The center is an interdisci­ plinary organization that aims to en­ courage dialogue and scholarship at the intersection of activism and ad­ vocacy. The event started with the screen­ ing of “Nostalgia de la Luz” — “Nos­ talgia for the Light” — a film by Chilean docum entary film m aker Patricio Guzm in, and was followed by a panel about human rights fea­ turing law professor Zipporah W ise­ man and assistant Spanish professor % Wm UT System proposal seeks to give students voice in budget plans By Lauren Giudice Daily Texan Staff The U T System Student Adviso­ ry Council approved a recommen­ dation to implement more student involvem ent in budgetary d eci­ sion making on Saturday. U T Austin’s current system of college tuition budget advisory councils influenced the new rec­ ommendation “ Students really weren’t involved in the budget-m aking process, their role was basically reaction­ ary," said M ichael M orton, UT- Austin Senate of College Councils com m unications director. “ They didn’t really have any input into it. Since C T BA C s were founded last semester at L'T, it has put stu­ dents in a proactive role and they can actually have a say and actu­ ally have their voice heard by ad­ ministrators.” The councils w ill bring the reso lut ion in front of the Board of Re­ gents in May. If it is approved, ev­ ery U T System school w ill either be encouraged or required to form college tuition advisory councils. Chelsea Adler, president of the U T Senate of College Councils, and U T Student Government President Scott Parks represented U T at the council meeting on Saturday. Each U T System school sends two rep­ resentatives. Grace Bielawski, the UT-Dallas student body president, drafted the resolution. “ Grace drafted the resolution based on research that she had done on different campuses, '•aid Dina Shahrokhi, I T P a lla s stu dent body vice president. “A lot of it was based on what U T Austin has done as well as comments from her committee members which in eluded representatives from all the different U T system schools. ’ Shahrokhi said because of bud get cuts, there w ill be a lot ot changes, and a lack of student rep resentation is unacceptable be­ cause it is the students’ educations that w ill be affected. “At UT-Dallas, currently, to my knowledge, we do not have any system in place to where the stu­ dents have any institutional say in what w ill happen within the bud­ getary cycle,” Shahrokhi said. “So if this were to pass, of course it would still be up to the individu­ al institutions, including U T D al­ las, to actually implement the plan even it it s highly requested by the regents.” Adler said it is vital to have stu dents informed about budget deci sions and the administration needs to understand where students’ pri­ orities are. “ It’s been an idea for a w hile from past Senate leaders, and so when I got elected back in A pril, the Vietnamese language program had just been cut, and that was when a bunch of student leaders sat down and said we really need to have students to have a voice in this process," Adler said.

A P T O P 10 MEN'S BASKETBALL Junior Yvonne Anderson attempts a jump shot in a February loss to Texas A&M. Anderson and the Longhorns likely need at least 'w o wins in the Big 12 Tournament, which begins tonight, to be granted an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament. Lawrence Peart | Daily Texan file photo Longhorns face must-win situation tonight By Alexandra Carreno Daily Texan Staff For Texas head coach Gail Goes- tenkors, finishing the regular sea­ son off strong was the ultimate goal. But when her squad went 1-1 in its last two games, the Longhorns’ outlook on their future needed some revising. “ 1 think if we go 1-1, then it’s leaving it in someone else’s hands to determine our fate,” Goesten- kors said. “I think to get that bid we need to win at least two games [in the tournament].” W ith a roller coaster of a reg­ ular season behind them, Tex­ as is poised to claw its way into the N C A A tournam ent. First, the Longhorns, who sit at the No. 7 seed, must set their focus on tonight’s first-round match­ up against lOth-seeded Missouri (13-17,5-11). In a conference filled with im ­ mense talent, the Longhorns are remaining focused on the task at hand. “We’ve been the best conference in the country every year I’ve been in the league, and every year it just gets better and better,” Goestenkors said. “The depth from top to bot­ tom is just unmatched.’ This year marks the third- straight that Texas has faced Miz- zou in the first round of the Big 12 Championship. The Longhorns hope to push their winning streak in tournament contests to 4-0 against Missouri tonight. Winning has not come easily tor Texas as of late. After losing its final regular season match up, Texas needs to build on its strengths in hopes of advancing in the tournament. ing. time,” Goestenkors said. “What I am most proud of is now she can take criticism and understand it. It makes her better and she’s able to get herself refocused.” For the Longhorns, recent strengths have come in the form of individual performances including the likes of junior Yvonne Anderson. The guard has been averaging a team-best 19.5 points per game in Texas’ last four regular-season games. She also pulled dowrn an impressive 6.5 rebounds per game. In her last game out, she tallied a game-high 21 points, registering her fourth-straight game in dou­ ble-digits. “ [Anderson] always had the skills and the talent, and this year she’s been getting a lot more play­ Tonight’s game also coincides with Anderson’s 21st birthday. W hile looking toward the fu­ ture has been crucial for Texas, the squad must look back on its last matchup against Missouri in which it was upset 85-80 in overtime. The Longhorns’ steady control of much of the game was erased, as mistakes became their demise. Turnovers plagued Texas yet again, and a lackluster defensive effort in the second half allowed the Tigers to pull off the upset. Missouri senior RaeShara Brown leads the Tigers averaging 16.8 VS. Date: Tonight Time: 5 p.m. Where: Kansas City, Mo. Channel: Metro Sports points per game and 5.9 rebounds. Both squads’ head coaches have acknowledged the difficulty of their league. Tonight, the Longhorns’ season hinges on a victory. “You look at just how' close of a dogfight it’s been jockeying for seating, it’s been an interesting year,” said Missouri head coach Robin Pingeton. “Great coaches, great players; it’s a great conference. It will certainly prove to be an in­ teresting Big 12 tournament.” INSIDE: See the schedule of the Big 12 women's basketball championship or» pag< BASEBALL UTSA at No. 5 TEXAS MEN S BASKET! BIG 12 NOTEBOOK Knight fired by Texas Tech, will stay for Big 12 tourney By Austin Laymance Daily Texan Staff Texas Tech fired head coach Pat Knight Monday after another disap­ pointing season for the Red Raiders. “ I appreciate everything Pat has done for our university, not only as a head coach, but also throughout his career as an assistant,” said Texas Tech president Guy Bailey in a pre­ pared statement. “ I wish him suc­ cess and the best moving forward.” Knight failed to lead the Red Raiders to the N C A A tournament in three full seasons and had one winning campaign (19-16 in 2009- 10) since taking over for his famous father, Bob, at midseason in Febru­ ary 2008.

Green is 0-2 w ith a 5.68 ER A this year. In his season debut against M aryland, he lasted four innings, giving up six hits and six earned runs. Green’s second start o f the year, against H aw aii, was much better, as he struck out nine batters in 6.2 innings and allowed one earned run. He had a no-de- cision as the Longhorns lost in ! 5 innings. His start Saturday against No. 9 Stanford looked like a step back­ ward as Green went two innings before he got the hook. He has struggled with his command ear­ ly on in his starts, allowing three runs in the first inning against M arylan d and two runs in the second against Stanford. “W hen you turn down a pro­ fessional contract, you build some conscious expectations,” G arri- do said of Green. “ You have to get those out of there, or else you’re going to lose your rhythm , your tim ing and then you lose your fo­ cus and you start trying to do too much and then it gets worse.” Because he only threw 41 pitch­ es on Saturday’s game, G arrido has hinted that Green w ill be a va il­ able for tonight’s game against the Roadrunners (6-8), who are com ­ ing o ff a 3-1 series loss to New Mexico in Albuquerque. Green w ill face a U T S A team w ith a co llective batting ave r­ age of .313, 55 points higher than Texas’ .258 average. The R o ad ­ runners boast solid power num ­ bers as well, w ith six home runs already. They’ll send senior D.D. Towler (1 -0) to the mound to face the Longhorns. Tonight’s game at D isch-Falk w ill serve as a challenge for No. 5 Texas (7-4) to not o n ly play against a strong-hitting team, but fight the internal battle o f com ­ placency. Coming off a series win over Stanford and w ith spring break just a week away, the Long­ horns w ill have to m aintain their focus and be on top of their game from the get-go, lest they fall v ic ­ tim to another less-than marquee opponent. A vintage perform ance from C ole Green would go a long way in making sure Texas doesn’t lose another Tuesday game. MEN S TENNIS 12 p.m. FSN 11 a.m..

Morris led the Jayhawks to anoth­ er Big 12 regular season champion­ ship after averaging 18.8 points and 7.6 rebounds in conference play. The Philadelphia native shot 60.6 per­ cent from the field in 16 conference games and had four double-doubles. Morris is the first Jayhawk to win the award since Wayne Simien in 2005. Self coached Kansas to a 14-2 re­ cord for the program’s 11th Big 12 regular season title in the 15-year history of the conference. S e lf’s squad has 29 wins for the fourth time in five seasons and rebound­ ed after a tough home loss to Texas on Jan. 22 to win the league crown and earn the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 tournament.

Texas’ tough stretch begins with North Carolina By Wes Maulsby Daily Texan Staff slipped to No. 30. It w ill be looking for lines a strong Texas doubles game that Texas is beginning a brutal part of its schedule. Three of its next four oppo­ nents are ranked in the top 30. Two of them are currently in the top 10. Follow­ ing the stretch, Big 12 play starts, featur­ ing five teams in the top 30. It begins to­ day as Texas hosts North Carolina (4-4) at the Penick-Allison Tennis Center. a signature win to get its season back on track, and a win on the road against a top-five team w ill give it the perfect op­ portunity to do just that. North C aroli­ na should provide a challenge for Tex­ as in both aspects of the match. The Tar Heels feature two players ranked in the top 125 nationally, and have a doubles pair ranked in the top 15. North Carolina is coming off a win at Vanderbilt after having dropped three consecutive matches. N orth C arolina, which began the season at No. 20, has Texas should still hold the advantage in this matchup. The duo of senior Ed Corrie and junior Jean Andersen checks in as the No. 4 team nationally, head­ has three pairs ranked in the top 35 and has only lost one doubles point this sea­ son. The singles aspect has been Tex­ as’ Achilles heel so far this season with the Longhorns’ only loss of the season emerging from the woes of singles play. But as the season goes on, Texas con­ tinues to improve its game with Corrie cracking the top 30 nationally this week. Fellow senior Kellen Dam ico has lost two games in as many matches recently and w ill be looking to continue his dom­ inance today.

On days when a speaker isn’t scheduled to come, they take a section of a sermon and relate it to m odem business situations. “There’s a lot more to it than reading the Bi­ ble,” Niels said. “I don’t even know the right an­ swer in many aspects of the Bible. It’s more com ­ plicated than being honest.” Niels m entioned that ethics in business is al­ most a contradiction in itself, but that is precisely why the founders felt that there was a need for a Bible study like this one in the business school. “I don’t want to be insensitive, but the busi­ ness w orld has gone astray,” Niels said. “We want to change that [corruption] by using dif­ ferent practices.” In one o f Gilligan’s visits he posed a ques­ tion as to w hether it was ethical for a Christian businessman, under pressure from superiors, to fire som eone just because they were no longer needed. At first Niels and a few others believed this was ethical as long as the businessman re­ m ained virtuous and truthful from the begin­ ning. However, after some thought, Niels came to the conclusion that this was the same situa­ tion as hiding a malicious intent behind a sup­ posedly good reason. Despite the pressures on business students, TV co n tin u esfro m P A G E lO sparked by the massive p o p u la ri­ ty of D isney C hannel’s 2006 series “H annah M ontana,” sta rrin g Mi- ley Cyrus as a country girl living in Los Angeles, trying to handle the pressure o f fame of her secret, wig- wearing rock-star alter ego. “H annah M ontana,” in addition to being incredibly popular, is also still incredibly influential, despite the fact the show aired its final ep­ isode last January. Following the show s explosive rise — “H annah M ontana” ended with 6.2 millions viewers w atching the series finale according to TV by the N um bers — both D isney and rival channel Nickelodeon began to follow up on the kids-as-celebrities trend. In ad d itio n to “H an n a h M on­ tan a,” D isney also a ired “Jonas L.A* sta rrin g teen idols T he Jo­ nas Brothers as secret agents m as­ querading as rock stars, and “Son­ ny with a C hance” w ith Demi Lo- vato as a young actress w ho lands a place on her favorite sketch com ­ edy show. N ickelodeon shot back w ith its ow n kid -celeb rity p ro g ra m m in g with “iCarly,” about a girl who stars in her own popular internet show, and “Big T im e Rush,” w hich fol­ lows an up-and-com ing boy band trying to make it big in Hollywood and enjoying all the perks of fame. All the kids depicted on Disney’s and Nickelodeon’s various celebri­ ty-centric program s are teenagers, but the shows are m arketed toward adolescents and preteens — a p e ­ riod w hen m ost kids are deciding if they want to be an astronaut, a chef, a doctor or even a celebrity. By c r e a tin g th e s e f a n t a s t i ­ cal, w ish-fulfillm ent situations in w hich fictio n al teenagers m a in ­ tain g lam orous H ollyw ood lives while also doing “norm al” teenage things, kids’ channels are pro m o t­ ing a false image of fame to kids. Stardom is depicted as fun and un- p red ictab ly exciting. It’s easy to im agine that young television a u ­ diences see the celebrity life as not only entertaining to watch on TV, but as a goal th at they can (and should) achieve. To be fair, m ost o f these shows m ake a p o in t to d em onstrate the drawbacks of fame and the im por­ tance of rem aining grounded with the support o f friends and family. That doesn’t m ake the image o f a young, wealthy teen living the ce­ lebrity life, going to exclusive p a r­ ties a n d b ein g w o rsh ip p ed by a crow d o f scream ing fans any less bewitching to Disney’s and Nickel­ odeon’s hordes of young viewers. Shows like “H annah M ontana” and “Big Tim e Rush” aren’t exact­ ly quality program m ing. T hey’re unrelentingly loud, obnoxious and p a in fu lly u n fu n n y , w hich “S a t­ u rday N ight Live” p aro d ie d last weekend in a sketch entitled “D is­ ney C hannel A cting School,” fea­ tu rin g fo rm er D isney star M iley Cyrus herself.

They simply follow the grating, cringe-w orthy “H a n ­ nah M o n tan a” fo rm u la th a t has m ade them so much money in the past few years. Maybe it’s just the nostalgia talk­ ing, but the scarcity of quality p ro ­ gram m ing for kids is all the m ore obvious w hen co m p ared to the live-action shows that Nickelodeon aired just 10 or 15 years ago, many of which were reasonably well-writ- ten, creative and quirky as well as being entertaining for kids. T hink “Clarissa Explains It All,” “The Ad­ ventures of Pete and Pete” and “The Secret World of Alex Mack.” W ith ratings at an all-time high, perhaps it’s too optimistic to hope that these channels will abandon their obses­ sion with child fame and return to form anytime soon. Aller» Otto I Daily Texan Staff Brothers and Sisters in Business, a group founded by sophomore Phillip Niels, focuses on conducting business while abiding by Christian ethics. members don’t teach a completely new way of approaching things. They point out that there have always been classes on business morals. Rather than grading themselves, the group tries to be there for each other as a support group and prepare themselves to make tough decisions as Christians regarding profit, labor and treating employees the way they would like to be treated. “We just want to change the way we view the corporate world; it’s not just a high-salary sta­ tistic,” Niels said. “It’s okay to be involved in the business world, to get a big job, but there’s more to it than the paycheck; there’s also the social as­ pect that comes with it.” BUDGET con tin u esfro m P A G E lO on the amount of expenditure. Qualifications for the tax break include a m inim um of $250,000 in Texas spending, 60 percent of shoot­ ing days completed in Texas and 70 percent of paid crew and cast must be Texas residents, unless the pro­ duction is a reality or talk show. “If we lack adequate funding, we essentially have no program because we will run out of money for the in­ centives,” Berlin said. “If that hap­ pens, productions will go w here they can get an incentive and Texas will lose thousands of jobs and mil­ lions in tax revenue.” If funding is cut for the state’s m o­ tion picture industry, the alliance and other organizations would have to begin rallying support for an in­ centive increase by the next legisla­ tive session in 2013, Berlin said. “We are already losing our crew and business to other states with the current incentive,” said C atherine Parrington, director of operations at Austin Studios. “It is imperative that we can at least keep what we have to continue to grow in our industry.” Louisiana, for instance, offers a 30-percent incentive for total in ­ state expenditures. A ccording to the Screen Actors Guild, under for­ mer governor Arnold Schwarzeneg­ ger’s California Film and Television Tax Credit Program, $200 million in tax credits was allocated to 77 proj­ ects, bringing in an estimated $2 bil­ lion in direct spending to California communities. Even with Texas’ shortcomings, the state is considered the third coast for motion pictures, said local actor Christian Bowman. “Dallas alone has one of the larg­ est sound stages,” he said. “If a sit­ com wants to have half of the show in a hospital and half of the show in an apartm ent, they can set up that soundstage to be both.” While filmmakers, producers and actors — Bowman included — are drawn to Los Angeles because of its gracious tax credits, m ajor studios and Hollywood, the obvious d o u ­ ble-edged sword is that Los Ange­ les has a cutthroat scene that can ei­ ther make you or break you, Bow­ man said. “It’s easier to be a big fish in a small pond, then a m innow in an ocean,’ he said. There are plenty of opportunities in Austin, both professional and in­ dependent, Bowman said, and it is inevitable that the m otion picture industry will thrive. “Texas is a great place to film,” Bowman said. “This is an amazing backdrop. If the tax incentive fol­ lows through, it’ll only invite more people to come film.” CLEANERS AND LAUNDRY P I I I I I I I I fc. f / ~ ' 2 X Dry C leaning Please present coupons with incoming or­ ders Coupons not valid with other offers or 3 Pant Specials Only one coupon per visit x - w Plain Laundered Shirts Please present coupons with incoming or­ ders.

Once they saw this was possible, they want­ ed to change the world one ethi­ cal decision at a time. “ It sounds so broad but hav­ ing people make faith- and eth­ ical-based decisions is going to change the corporate world and eventually America,” said Phillip Niels, a business honors and ac­ counting sophomore. Niels began throwing the idea around of creating a Bible study with a focus on business after alumnus Sam Acho went to an art gallery in the spring and Jesus was brought up in a discussion about business. Later that semester as they reflected back on the discus­ sion, Acho, Niels and a few close friends decided they were obligat­ ed to spread Christian ethics to the business school in a non-radical way. The intention was to fill what they perceived as an “emptiness” at the business school. The Bible study first began as a Business Honors Program en­ tity but has expanded to include anyone interested, including non­ business majors. “As of late there’s been a push for making sure business schools cover ethics,” said Joe Shields, a business honors and finance soph­ omore. “As Christians, we feel the need to step up and lead it.” Brothers and Sisters applies the teachings from the Bible to mod­ ern times with the purpose of serv­ ing God and completing business transactions ethically. “ The point is to think things through to yourselfT Niels said. “If you put yourself in a cubicle some­ where, how are you going to serve God and make a return?” The Bible study is also a way for all the members to get togeth­ er in a room Wfor an hour and share their thoughts without a hi­ erarchical structure. The format is to bring either a Bible or a smart phone that has Biblical texts and read through a chapter. From there the members have an open dis­ cussion, where anyone says what they’ve found in between the lines of the text. “We’ll be asked things in the business world like underselling property, but the Bible says you should pay fair value,” Shields said. “No one is perfect, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t strive to be fair and ethical.” Additionally they bring in speakers that talk, not necessari­ ly preach, about how they’ve lived in the business world. Thomas Gilligan, dean of Red McCombs Business School, has made sever­ al appearances to discuss what it has been like to be a leader and a Christian. The students in the B i­ ble study have come to respect his ability to maintain his faith and be humble in the business world, de­ scribing him as a man who doesn’t B I B L E continues on PAGE 8 WHAT: Business Bible Study WHERE: GSB 3.138 (room subject to change) WHEN: Wednesdays at 5 p.m. Like the Brothers and Sisters in Business Facebook page for more updates Lawrence Peart | Daily Texan Staff Local actor Christian Bowman searches through film titles at I Luv Video on Guadalupe Street. Bowman argues that tax incentives for the Texas motion picture industry will bring more filmmakers to the state. By Julie Rene Tran Daily Texan Staff With budget cuts across the legislative board, some members of the acting community are wor­ ried the arts will be the first to go. Tonight, Texas actors, producers and writers will gather at Austin Studios to share their stories and discuss the possible decrease in the Texas mo­ tion picture industry’s tax incentive. The state tax incentive program generated more than $614 million in new in state revenue in the past two years anti has accounted for 57,669 pro­ duction jobs for Texans, according to the Texas Motion Picture Alliance. “At this point, there is $10 million in the base budget bills for this program, down from the $60 million we had last session,” said alliance president Don Stokes. “We are hopeful to gain additional funding to maintain the viability of the program.” Because of the state’s steep deficit, the alliance will struggle to retain even a fraction of the fund­ ing they’ve had during the past two years. Instead of congregating on the steps of the Cap­ itol like in recent years, the alliance made last-mm- ute changes and are turning their following Lob­ by Day Rally on Wednesday into a day industry members can make personal visits to their home­ town representatives and senators. According to Craig Berlin, a board member of the alliance, they are taking a more subdued ap­ proach than in past years because of the political climate. They do not wish to be perceived in any way as protesters or people rallying against policy. “Our legislature is to be commended for the work they’ve already done and in this political and economic climate,” Berlin said. “The last thing Texas needs is to have news headlines along the lines of Wisconsin or Michigan about how we are crying about being treated unfairly. That is simply not the case.” In addition to the sales tax exemption, the cur­ rent incentive program offers the chance to get a five to 15-percent rebate on Texas spending for fea­ ture films, television programs, commercials, vid­ eo games and post-production projects depending continues on PAGE 8 Latest generation of teen shows paint distorted picture of fame |— b TV TUESDAY JGi B y Katie Stroh Lavignes album reminiscent of 90s Scan the schedule of any kid- centric T V channel these days and it’s impossible to overlook a distressing theme: shows depict young teenagers living glamorous celebrity lives.
