With Student Government elections yielding low turnout in recent years — 14.9 percent of the student body voted in 2013 — campaigns often vie for en-dorsements from voting blocks to

maximize their reach. An in-depth look at the organizational connec-tions of the students registered to each executive alliance campaign this year help shows an identical path candidates are taking towards what they hope will be victory.

“Any organized student group — particularly a network of orga-

nized student groups — could be considered a ‘block,’” said Jordan Metoyer, an economics and urban studies senior who has worked on multiple SG campaigns and served

as chief of staff in the 2012-2013 administration. “It is impossible to sit down for five minutes with all

Austin police statistics comparing January 2014 and January 2013 show auto thefts down 25 percent and burglar-ies down by 33 percent.

In general, vehicles are less likely to be stolen or broken

into this time of year, according to APD Sgt. Felicia Williams.

“January is one of those months where numbers are lower — but, at the same time, the trends vary from year to year,” Williams said. “However, we do recognize trends during the summertime and around the holidays, when more

people are out and about.”Williams said she believes

APD’s auto theft unit played a role in reducing burglar-ies through public education and taking proactive mea-sures to prevent theft.

“People are changing their behaviors to prevent auto theft in where they’re parking,”

Williams said. “[By] locking up their vehicles, they’re mak-ing diligent efforts to protect their vehicles.”

Williams said leaving keys inside the vehicle is one of the most common mistakes peo-ple make before their cars are stolen or burglarized.

“On average, in about 40 to

41 percent of auto thefts that our unit investigates every month, the key is either left in the ignition or somewhere in the vehicle,” Williams said.

Although APD listed Hon-da sedans and Ford pickup trucks as the most commonly stolen vehicles in 2013, Wil-liams said thefts have more

to do with possessions left in sight than the type of vehicle.

“Burglaries of vehicles occur because of what people have left in plain view that possible sus-pects can see,” Williams said. “It doesn’t matter if you have a car, a truck, a jeep or a convertible

Searching for a date in the digital age is as easy as opening an app and scroll-ing through a list of nearby singles, but, before mod-ern technology, finding a date was a chancy pursuit. In 1942, a UT council at-tempted to connect men and

women in an innovative way — through an organized dat-ing service.

UT’s War Effort Council Date Bureau opened regis-tration to University women Oct. 7, 1942, according to a Daily Texan article. The bureau, created by a stu-dent group that coordinated World War II-related activi-ties, was created to bring UT women and Austin-area sol-diers together for dates.

“Sign up for the Univer-sity Date Bureau today in the Union Building from 8 until 5 o’clock and put your private ‘V’ for Vic-tory into practice!” said

In her Wednesday keynote address for the 18th Annual Barbara Jordan Forum at the LBJ School of Public Affairs, Harvard Law professor Lani Guinier said America must work together to protect current voting rights in the same way civil rights work-ers convinced President Lyn-don Johnson to sign the Vot-ing Rights Act of 1964.

LBJ School dean Robert Hutchings said in a press release that the presence of Guinier, a prominent civil rights lawyer, is especially timely because the school is celebrating the 50th

MethodologyThe data in this story was compiled from multiple sources. For the first time, candi-dates were required to publicly submit lists of campaign workers and agents. The Daily Texan contacted every agent and worker on the executive alliance campaigns and re-quested a list of student organizations. About 50 percent of the Rady-Strickland campaign responded, while 37 percent of the Wilson-Carter campaign responded. For those who did not respond, The Daily Texan used online resources including LinkedIn and the Dean of Students’ student organization database. The Daily Texan was able to collect informa-tion from about 75 percent of all executive alliance campaign agents and workers.

‘The soldier will come to the Date Bureau headquarters, specify the date he prefers, and show his identification. If his card is [on] file, a suitable girl will be chosen. The girl will be called, and if she has no previous engagement and cares to go, the date is made.’

the article, citing the bureau’s slogan.

Although today’s pro-cess is more efficient and customized than the one in 1942, the two share re-markable similarities. At registration, women were asked to fill out cards de-tailing their ages, addresses, heights, hair and eye colors, religious preferences, areas of study and interests. They were also required to sub-mit photographs of them-selves and were charged 10 cents to register. The women’s dating profiles, along with a record of the unmarried, college-aged soldiers in the Austin area, were filed in the War Effort Council’s office.

“The soldier will come to the Date Bureau head-quarters, specify the date he prefers, and show his identification,” the article said. “If his card is [on] file, a suitable girl will be cho-sen. The girl will be called, and if she has no previous engagement and cares to go, the date is made.”

UT’s Dean of Women’s Office limited date des-tinations to a list of ap-proved places, required women to sign out of their residences at the begin-ning of dates and request-ed parental permission from every woman who registered for the bureau. Unlike present-day match

programs, the bureau didn’t give users the op-tion to choose their dates.

“The soldier requesting a date will not be allowed to go through the files,” an Oct. 8 Daily Texan ar-ticle said. “The person in charge of the Bureau will choose with his guidance a suitable date.”

Four hundred “potential morale lifters” had signed up for the dating service after its first day of registra-tion. That number almost doubled on the second day, reaching 700.

“I think the response to the Bureau was wonder-ful, and that the set-up is splendid,” Assistant Dean of Women Kathleen Bland said in the article. “I like the fact that the Bureau has been so voluntary.”

The overwhelming de-mand for the service forced the service to close a mere 13 days after its initial launch, as it could not keep up with the administrative demand.

“We did not foresee the proportions which the Bu-reau assumed,” Dean of Women Dorothy Gebauer said in an Oct. 20 Daily Texan article. “The cost of administering such a large office would be more than the University feels able to as-sume at this time. … We do not have the facilities as yet to handle such a problem.”

The resources to facilitate such a program are in high supply in 2014, as comput-ers have created a dating network that the students of 1942 could have only dreamed of.

— if you left things of value or [things] the suspect believes are of value, they’re going to look at breaking into your vehicle to steal those things.”

Vehicles are rarely stolen on campus, according to UTPD crime statistics. UTPD spokes-woman Cindy Posey said UTPD did not receive any sto-len vehicle reports in January, and only two auto burglaries were reported. Last year, only eight auto thefts were reported.

Vehicle theft and break-ins are more frequent just out-side of campus, with seven auto thefts and 23 auto bur-glaries reported in the West Campus area last month, according to APD’s incident database.

Biology junior Taylor Red-dell said his pickup truck has been broken into twice over the course of a few months.

“Both times, my truck was in a parking garage, and, both times, it was locked, so I don’t know how they broke in,” Reddell said.

Reddell said he returned to his truck to find it clut-tered but not damaged.

“I noticed a few items were missing, the first time,” Red-dell said. “The second time, I was just missing a couple [phone] chargers.”

Reddell said the experi-ence has made him more wary of leaving his belong-ings in his vehicle.

“I feel like I just don’t keep anything in my truck now that’s valuable because you never know,” Reddell said.

Guinier said she thinks citizens of the U.S. should consider how similar West-ern democracies handle vot-ing issues rather than simply comparing different states’ voting policies.

“We really need to embar-rass the United States in its claim that [it is] the world’s most important, significant and honorable democracy, when we have such a small percentage of our population participating in any elec-tion,” Guinier said in regard to new voter ID laws that critics have called unneces-sarily restrictive. “We have in many ways abdicated our

commitment to democracy in the name of democracy.”

Guinier said maintaining civil rights accomplishments of the past, such as the Vot-ing Rights Act, will require continued cooperation not only to ensure progress but also to avoid worsening is-sues of the past by assuming they are no longer problems.

“What was new to me was [not only] how she brought up the past and where we were but also how far we still have to go,” said Judith Mitchell, a former social worker at the Counsel-ing and Mental Health Center.

Mitchell said it’s still hard to have an open and frank discussion about diversity, even within a progressive set-ting such as the University.

Guinier said we should model current efforts to ad-vance civil rights after the leadership style of Nelson Mandela.

“Nelson Mandela said that you really need to think about leadership the way a shepherd leads a flock,” Guinier said. “The shepherd does not stand in front of the flock and say, ‘Hey, follow me.’ The shep-herd identifies one or two in-dividual sheep who are mov-ing in the right direction and then corrals the rest of the flock to follow the leader.”

Bea Ann Smith, a law professor, former judge of the Texas Court of Appeals, Third District, and long-time friend of Barbara Jor-dan, said she loved Guinier’s speech because the issues of diversity and voter ID laws are problems that require co-operative solutions.

“I thought her idea about leading from behind seems very appropriate right now,” Smith said. “Collaboration and consensual leadership in-stead of authoritative leader-ship is much more effective.”

50,000-plus students during the designated campaign period. To that end, it would be wise for candidates to tap into networks or individuals with large networks on campus.”

This is the first year that candidates have had to file a list of workers and agents that are affiliated with their campaigns. The Daily Texan contacted and researched 145 students who are noted as campaign agents or work-ers for the executive alliance teams: Kori Rady-Taylor Strickland and Kenton Wilson-Caroline Carter. There are almost 300 links between the two executive alliances and the various student organizations on campus, many of which overlap across campaigns. About 50 percent of the Rady-Stricklands responded to the Texan compared to about 37 percent of the Wilson-Carter team. The profiles for workers and agents who did not respond are filled out with publicly available information. In all, 37 of the 145 students are not accounted for.

Workers and agents tend to be well con-nected to organizations that the candidates are aggressively pursuing, including multicul-tural and ethnic groups, spirit groups, SG and Greek organizations. Both campaign teams have more than 60 students listed as workers or agents — an increase from last year, when current SG president Horacio Villarreal said he had about 20 students helping him. Both Rady and Wilson also said they are expecting

to be adding even more names to their cam-paign teams in the future.

Twenty-two percent of the Rady-Strick-land campaign team consists of members of a multicultural or ethnic group on campus, compared with 9 percent of the students in the Wilson-Carter campaign team — a pair that is running with ‘diversity training’ as one of its platform points.

“Our team is definitely pretty diverse,” Rady said. “We have spent a majority of our time making sure we go after students who have never voted in SG elections before. That’s the key.”

Rady-Strickland’s reach into multicultural and ethnic groups is wide, with multiple mem-bers in African-American and black student organizations, but, in other multicultural or ethnic groups, the Rady-Strickland campaign has just a single worker or agent. Wilson-Carter’s campaign, meanwhile, overwhelms Rady-Strickland’s campaign in connections to Texans For Israel and other Jewish groups on campus. Like Rady, Wilson said he is trying to reach as many groups on campus as possible.

“Our agents and workers come from a va-riety of on campus organizations and differ-ent areas on campus, and that really reflects how we want to get more students involved,” Wilson said. “I’ve been able to see how a lot of the same problems effect different aspects of campus, and we’re reaching out trying to

build coalitions to solve those problems.”Both executive alliance campaign teams are

more than 20 percent Greek and have another 15 percent of their team connected back to vari-ous spirit groups, though there is some overlap between the two groups. Rady and Wilson are both members of the Tejas Club, a group that calls itself an “independent fraternity.” Rady is also in Silver Spurs, while Wilson is in Texas Cowboys, both of which are spirit groups.

One of the major changes this year is a deci-sion by the Interfraternity Council not to en-dorse a campaign team in 2014. The council is a community that represents 23 fraternity chapters, which accounts for more than 2,300 students. In the past few years, all Interfra-ternity Council-backed president and vice-president teams have won. In the absence of the Interfraternity Council’s endorsement, connections and testimonials from other student organizations may mean more this year than before, and new heavyweight voter blocks have become potentially more influen-tial. The council hosted a meeting Wednesday night inviting all candidates to come speak, and the council members intend to send out an email detailing candidates’ platforms.

In interviews, both Rady and Wilson said they felt the endorsements they would seek would help their campaigns but not make or break them.

“In the past, the IFC email was pretty

important and carried a lot of weight,” Wilson said. “But I think it’s great what the IFC presi-dent and his team are doing — where they’re not going to send out a blanket email and they’re actually inviting all of us to go speak at the IFC meeting. We’ve all been given the chance to advocate for our position.”

While both teams will seek endorsements and support, Metoyer warned against assuming too much from just voter block information.

“None of this speculation can be conflated with hard science,” Metoyer said. “These as-sumptions are made year after year. It helps to have the support of influential campus orga-nizations, but it is not a guarantee of success. When campaigns have attempted to ‘calcu-late’ the vote in the past, they found them-selves unsuccessful.”

An Austin-based app, Ri-deScout, hopes to utilize the numerous transportation services available to Austi-nites to improve their down-town commute.

RideScout, which launched at last year’s South By Southwest festival, allows husers to view many new and existing transportation service options around Aus-tin on one platform. Users can plan trips throughout the city, tying shared trans-portation services such as B-Cycle, Car2Go and Cap-Metro together for use in their trip.

Previously, trying to plan a trip using public, shared and commercial transportation services available in Austin has been difficult, City Coun-

cilman Chris Riley said at a press conference Tuesday.

“Now we actually have a so-lution from an Austin-based startup,” Riley said. “RideS-cout will allow you how to see how to make use of every-thing that’s out there.”

RideScout founder Joseph Kopser said he hopes the app will benefit Austin residents by providing them with an aggregated source for alter-native transportation.

“If we can get out from behind our wheel all the time, you get time back,” Kopser said.

Elliot McFadden, founder of bike share service B-Cy-cle, said he thinks the service will help to relieve Austin of its traffic problems.

“When you interweave all of these services to-gether you get … a whole alternative to driving your

personal car,” McFadden said. “It means fewer cars on the road and a more humane and pedestrian friendly environment in our towns.”

Spanish literature gradu-ate student Ignacio Carbajal said he often bikes and uses the bus to get around Aus-tin, and could see the app being useful.

“I was in traffic for 45 min-utes, inching,” Carbajal said. “If you could consolidate people, that’s always good.”

Kopser said he challenges skeptics to try the service.

“Like any other tool, it only works if you use it,” Kopser said. “For the read-ers and the viewers who think, ‘This will never apply to me,’ I actually challenge you. It will make your life easier when you do come to downtown Austin.”

UT’s Alpha Epsilon Phi and Sigma Chi chapters presented two checks totaling $65,316 to The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation on Wednesday.

The foundation raises money to provide financial and emotional support for the families of children with cancer and helps fund child-hood cancer research.

Alpha Epsilon Phi raised approximately $55,000 for the foundation, while Sigma Chi raised $10,000. Both held events and fundrais-ers in the fall, such as Sigma Chi’s Fight Night.

After receiving the two checks, Joe McDonough, fa-ther of Andrew McDonough, said he wished he weren’t there but with his son instead.

“Seven years ago, my son was a healthy freshman in high school,” Joe Mc-Donough said. “He helped his

team win a Pennsylvania state championship in soccer on a Saturday, and 48 hours later he was diagnosed with leukemia.”

Andrew McDonough bat-tled the disease for 167 days until he died July 14, 2007, in his sister’s arms.

“The only thing I ever wanted to be was a dad,” Joe McDonough said. “I will al-ways tell you I have two chil-dren, but can only hug one.”

In the past two years, the foundation has raised $1.5 million in research grants and family assistance for childhood cancer. Accord-ing to the American Child-hood Cancer Organization, cancer is the leading cause of disease-related deaths in children. Every year, 13,400 children younger than 19 are diagnosed with cancer.

“You guys are the B+ Foundation,” McDonough said to the two chapters. “You are enabling us to touch so many lives. … All

cancer is bad, but we have got to do more for our kids.”

Bob Helen, a cancer sur-vivor and father of a child with cancer, said the foun-dation helped fund his 14-year-old daughter’s can-cer treatment.

“Your money that you raised isn’t going to me, or to Joe,” Helen said. “It’s go-ing to that 14-year-old girl out there that, hopefully, be-cause of your money, won’t have to go through this hell on Earth that we had to go through. Anybody that does anything for children’s can-cer is her hero. You all are all our heroes.”

Matt Johnson, finance se-nior and president of Sigma Chi, said his fraternity holds charity events every semes-ter and is always open to donating to different causes.

“It’s something that we real-ly take to heart,” Johnson said. “We kind of, as a fraternity, hold it as our calling card.”

Local app combines transit options

By Adam Hamze@adamhamz

UT System Chancel-lor Francisco Cigarroa an-nounced that all System Administration buildings in Austin will be smoke- and tobacco-free, starting March 15.

Cigarroa made the an-nouncement Tuesday in an email to System employees. He said the decision is part of the System’s health and wellness initiatives.

“While I recognize the freedom of choice to use tobacco or smoking prod-ucts, there is overwhelming support among our em-ployees for our entire work

environment to be smoke- and tobacco-free,” Cigar-roa said in the email. “I am happy that, along with many of our other institutions, UT System Administration is taking this step to improve the health of Texas, and hope that you will join my excitement in our commit-ment to complete wellness for all UT System Adminis-tration employees.”

In the email, Cigarroa said all parking garages and com-mon outdoor areas owned by the System Administra-tion will have to comply with the new policy. He said the Office of Employee Ser-vices will assist in the transi-tion by providing resources

on how to shift to a smoke-free campus.

According to Sarah Pekar, administrative project coor-dinator in the System Office Employee Benefits, all Sys-tem health institutions are smoke- and tobacco-free. Pekar said all System aca-demic institutions are either smoke- and tobacco-free or just smoke-free, except for UT-Tyler — where smoking is permitted in designated areas — and UT-El Paso.

Last week, Cigarroa an-nounced he will be resigning as chancellor and joining the pediatric transplant team at the UT-Health Science Cen-ter at San Antonio after his resignation.

Graduate Student As-sembly passed a resolution requesting more informa-tion about the Shared Ser-vices Plan at its meeting Wednesday.

The resolution calls for the addition of one graduate student employee, selected by GSA president Colum-bia Mishra, to be added to the Shared Services Steering Committee.

“The main thing we’re really asking for is just [to] give graduate students a seat in this process,” said David Villarreal, communications director for GSA and the bill’s co-author.

The Shared Services Plan is a set of recommen-dations that calls for the

centralization of University human resources, informa-tion technology procure-ment and finance services. According to University officials, the plan calls for elimination of 500 jobs, mainly through natural attrition and retirement. Before pursuing a full-scale implementation of the Shared Services Plan, the Shared Services Steer-ing Committee will design and conduct a pilot ver-sion of the plan in specific University units.

The assembly’s resolu-tion also asks Kevin Hegar-ty, executive vice president and chief financial officer, to provide regular updates on implementation, infor-mation about centralized services that already exist on campus, specifics on

management-consulting firm Accenture’s involve-ment and specific infor-mation about the process of a pilot version of the plan. The resolution also requests that Hegarty be-gin sharing information by the next GSA meeting March 5.

In January, Faculty Council passed a resolu-tion requesting more infor-mation about the plan and for two non-administrative individuals to be added to the Steering Commit-tee. Hegarty responded to the resolution a week af-ter it was passed by post-ing a list of the requested information online. In his response, Hegarty agreed to add two non-adminis-trative individuals to the steering committee.

“Date a girl who...” articles are sexist, reduce women to “types”

Illustration by Crystal Garcia/ Daily Texan Staff

As a female college student whose social circle primarily consists of other females in the 17-25 age demographic, my Facebook newsfeed has become saturated with “Date a Girl Who” articles. Earlier this month, The Huffington Post featured an article by Stephanie Ridhalgh titled “Date a Girl Who Travels,” which is written in response to and doesn’t completely understand the satire of another Huffington Post article, “Don’t Date a Girl That Travels” by Adi Zarsadias. “Date a Girl Who Travels” is inspired by Rosemarie Urquico’s “Date a Girl Who Reads,” another poorly written response piece that also miss-es the satire of the original essay that started this trend in 2011: a piece titled “You Should Date an Illiterate Girl” by Charles Warnke on Thought Catalog.

Excluding Warnke’s piece, the problem with these types of articles is that among young women who haven’t formed their full selves yet, they are a silly and popular way to cop out and aspire to be a “type.” They encourage girls to measure their self-worth against male expectations. And because these type of articles are often accompa-nied with skinny, faceless, Tumblr-esque

depictions of females, they glamorize both the manic pixie dream girl trope and the idea that women fit best in a supporting role.

The first three pieces mentioned above are replete with cliches and girlish fantasies.

“Date a girl who travels. … She doesn’t dote on possessions but rather treasured ex-periences,” Ridhalgh said.

“Don’t date a girl who travels for she has chosen a life of uncertainty. … She goes with the flow and follows her heart,” Zarsadias said.

Urquico said to find a girl “reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street.” In Warnke’s original essay, the narrator gen-eralizes “readers” and “non-readers” into categories because he feels betrayed by a specific woman who was a reader. Ironically, while Warnke satirizes cliches and stereo-types, the first three articles support them.

This trend of defining women in relation to men isn’t new. Young girls were insecure before “Date a Girl Who” articles, BuzzFeed personality quizzes and the like. Pre-Inter-net, girls had personality quizzes in teen magazines and other superficial ways of de-fining themselves. The difference is that now, we live in an era in which people can define themselves by a visual list of their “likes.” Girls can use Pinterest to organize their fa-vorites and showcase their personalities. People can measure the popularity of a post, image or person with an actual number. We have reduced complex ideas and people to searchable hashtags.

Instead of supporting stereotypes on our newsfeeds, let’s celebrate individuality by sharing our own accomplishments and the stories of female role models. It’s easy to latch onto and share the aspirational image of the adventurous traveling girl or the pro-found literate girl. It’s much harder to do the work of defining ourselves. In a world where millennial attention spans are shorter than this sentence, we’re going to have to find a way to strengthen our stamina. There isn’t a shortcut.

HORNS UP: UTPD OFFERS PIZZA TO STUDENTS FOR CRIME TIPS

HORNS DOWN: HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES LEAVES OUT HB2

The state Senate Committee on Health and Human Services is meeting Thursday to discuss women’s health services, and noticeably absent from the agenda is any discussion of the elephant in the room: the impact of the abortion regulations passed over the summer that, among those already in effect, require doctors to obtain admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the

abortion facility. The committee’s exclusion of the issue is a shortsighted, politically calcu-lated move with dangerous consequences. Although the law has not yet gone into full effect, its impact is already being felt acutely across the state: only five of the 22 remaining abortion facilities in the state will remain open once the other restrictions take full effect in October. This legislation needs to be discussed, and we’re disappointed but not surprised that the com-mittee would deny this reality.

Greg Abbott, attorney general and gubernatorial can-didate, faced criticism Tuesday for his choice to appear with aging rocker and tea-party darling Ted Nugent at an event in Denton. The criticism was deserved. As has been widely reported, Nugent has previously admitted to hav-ing relationships with high school girls and has publicly called female politicians and feminists names including

“worthless bitch,” “fat pig” and “dirty whore.” Abbott’s representatives attempted to distance Nugent from the candidate, saying that “while [Nugent] may sometimes say things or use language that Greg Abbott would not endorse or agree with, we appreciate the support of everyone who supports protecting our Constitution.” We don’t know what’s worse: Abbott agreeing to appear with Nugent in the first place or Abbott’s campaign thinking that there’s any room for sexist, self-admitted sexual predators in the noble quest to “protect our Consti-tution.” Horns Down to everything about this situation: Nugent’s language, Abbott’s choice to appear with him and the Abbott campaign’s insane insistence that fighting for the second amendment somehow makes up for disgusting behavior toward women.

HORNS DOWN: ABBOTT APPEARS WITH SEXIST NUGENT

Horns Down to everything about this situation: Nugent’s language, Abbot’s choice to appear with him and the Abbot campaign’s insane insistence that fighting for the second amendment somehow makes up for disgusting behavior toward women.

In Wednesday’s paper, we reported on a delectable incentive to report crimes to UTPD: a free pizza. While the program is limited to bike thefts, UTPD officer Wil-liam Pieper noticed almost immediately after its incep-tion that the number of reports of suspicious activity around bikes spiked. The program discourages false reports by offering the reward only to tipsters whose

information leads to an arrest. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the program doesn’t cost the University a thing — according to Pieper, the money for the pies comes out of officers’ pockets. Horns Up to the men and women of UTPD for their contin-ued, creative commitment, often at personal expense, to keeping students, faculty, staff and visitors safe.

It’s important that athletes acquire the best education possible, since their degrees are all that they’ll have to show for countless hours of dedication to the sport.

Since joining UT in early January, head foot-ball coach Charlie Strong has made the head-lines many times over, and rightfully so. He is the University’s first black men’s head coach. He is guaranteed a minimum of $5 million annually for a five-season term, with $100,000 increases per year starting in 2015. He has brought many new faces to the coaching staff. But aside from all of that, he has brought a re-freshing sense of discipline and expectation. What remains to be asked is whether these ex-pectations will foster a fervent effort to ensure success for athletes both on and off the field.

Shawn Izadi, a pre-med senior linebacker from Coppell, defined the term “student-athlete” as “athlete being in bold, all caps, 50 size font while student is written in small, lowercase italicized font.”

“It should be the reverse,” Izadi said. “But the problem is a degree doesn’t generate $150 million. Football does. But what a de-gree will do is place an individual in society to make a meaningful impact.”

The degrees that football players earn at Texas are limited by more than financial concerns: More than one-third of UT’s football team stud-ies physical culture and sports, applied learn-ing and development or youth and community studies. While these areas of study may truly suit their interests, it’s important to consider the other factors that may contribute to the players’ choice of major, as a critical part of academic

success is pursuing a major in a field of interest.Grant Sirgo, a senior mechanical engineering

major and kicker for the UT football team, said this pattern may exist because of the support system already in place for those majors.

“With many of the upperclassmen [foot-ball players] majoring in these degree plans it can seem like a comfortable choice with a solid support system already in place,” Sirgo said. “Some enter school already hav-ing a passion to teach and coach. For these individuals, the decision is no different than mine to enter engineering.”

But Izadi also offered a different reason for the skew towards physical culture and sports in the player’s academic lives.

“They come here to play football and their priority is not to get an education or they may not have been introduced to what they like yet,” Izadi said.

Perhaps there’s social pressure to pursue these particular majors, given that the H.J Lutcher Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports, where most classes in the physical culture and sports major are taught, is conveniently located in the north end of the football stadium.

Whatever the case may be, it’s important that athletes acquire the best education possible es-pecially since their degrees are all that they’ll have to show for countless hours of dedication to the sport. And by best education, I mean a major that really suits their interests and not what’s socially convenient and easily accessible.

Strong may not directly address the im-portance of choosing a major that will pro-vide future opportunities, but his insistence that his team members excel as students first, and then as athletes suggests that the players have free reign when choosing a major. After all, there’s a reason “student” comes before “athlete” in the term “student-athlete.”

If these athletes are genuinely drawn to their particular majors, their athletic services are be-ing compensated through a free education. But if they are choosing these majors because of so-cial pressures or lack of time to pursue their real interests, the trade-off between their services and their education is heavily lopsided. Though football may be what attracts and binds these football players to UT, it should not be the only thing of value they have once they leave.

southern water — flow-ing towards the north — would veer right, creating a counterclockwise mo-tion.

The problem is that the Coriolis force is subtle and not powerful enough to affect our toilets: The bowls are too small and the flushes too quick.

But what about a larger tank that drains slowly? That sounds like a job for an expert in fluid mechanics.

In the early 1960s, MIT professor Ascher H. Sha-piro induced the effect in a bathtub made with scientific precision.

He built a tub 6 feet in diameter and attached a 20-foot-long hose to a drain in the base. Af-ter plugging the hose, he filled the tank six inches using a clockwise flow to ensure the act of adding water didn’t create a coun-terclockwise motion. He also covered the tub with a plastic sheet to prevent air currents from influenc-ing the experiment and kept the room at a constant temperature so as not to al-low temperature variations that may have affected the direction of the swirl.

Even with all of those precautions and letting the water settle for an hour or so, it would still rotate in the clockwise direction when drained because of the filling process. Things got a little better after al-lowing four or five hours of settling — the wa-ter would initially travel clockwise but, by the end of the drain, would begin moving in a counterclock-wise direction.

Twenty-four hours of settling was required to see the effect, but even this

was subtle — there wasn’t any visible rotation until about 12 to 15 minutes into the 20-minute draining period when it began to flow in a counterclockwise direction.

A few years later, re-searchers in Australia rep-licated the experiment in the Southern Hemisphere, hoping to produce clock-wise rotation. It did, but not without difficulties. The scientists noted that winds from outside the laboratory were enough to disturb the experiment, at least on a blustery day.

It is the nature of science that one cannot prove an idea to be correct. Experi-ments are designed to fal-sify premises and, though these tests ended up with results consistent with pre-dictions based on Coriolis forces, there’s no way to en-sure that there wasn’t some other force the scientists neglected. It’s only through continuously attempting to prove ourselves wrong that we can ever hope to be right.

And, if the experiments happen to turn out differ-ently than we’d like them to, we need to be ready to flush our pet theories down the toilet — but not necessarily in a counter-clockwise motion.

art students and students in general is to hear about somebody who believes so strongly in goals.”

Studio art freshman Connor Frew enjoyed the Fleming exhibit, saying he appreciated the way Fleming’s art correlates with goals he has in his own art and related Flem-ing’s art to a project he did last semester.

“We were doing this project with foundations, where we were working with what [Fleming] was basically doing,” Frew said. “I’m a big fan of structural stuff, and that’s something I enjoy a lot.”

Henderson said Fleming’s

message to students is a positive one. According to Henderson, Fleming is interested in students and is always eager to speak.

“He’s had really won-derful interactions with students,” Henderson said. “There’s so much for stu-dents to learn, but also there’s this larger mes-sage of believing in art and following your dream — that kind of vision, that belief in possibility is really important.”

Fleming has also in-spired Henderson as an educator.

“For me as a scholar, he’s really inspiring,” Hender-son said. “His mood and his attitude say that art can change the world.”

unsuccessful search, the idea for the art garage took root.

“I could not find a gallery that reflected Austin at all,” Bryer said. “Instead they were more high-end galler-ies that felt intimidating. I thought, ‘Where does a nor-mal person go to buy art?’”

With a marketing degree and no previous art experi-ence, Bryer sought out Ga-nucheau, an artist and child-hood friend, for help.

“I was pretty excited when Jake first called me about the idea of opening the Art Garage,” Ganu-cheau said. “When we were in high school we both al-ways talked about opening a business together. I guess that was in the back of Jake’s mind.”

After searching on Craig-slist, the two found their current location.

“We were looking for a place like this,” Bryer said. “Something that looked low-brow and funky and cheap.”

After renovating the build-ing, Bryer and Ganucheau began searching for artists by posting ads on Craigslist, and they were soon flooded with offers. They have since quit their previous jobs and the art garage has doubled in size, showcasing doz-ens of local emerging and established artists.

“We’re 100 percent local,” Ganucheau said. “There is so much talent in this town and there’s so many artists in this town that don’t know what to do and where to go, and we try to create a launch pad for them.”

Tim Lasater, a local artist

and childhood friend of Bryer and Ganucheau, has been showcasing in the gal-lery for the past two years.

“I was working in another field and I hurt my knee,” Lasater said. “They handed me some paints and canvas-es and brushes. They gave me the opportunity to sell some art and some of them sold and I was like, ‘I’m an artist now.’ I’ve seen so many emerging artists come through here. It’s like an in-cubation place.”

Both Bryer and Ganu-cheau’s work is featured in the garage alongside the work of other artists. Still, the two try to keep a distinc-tion between being artists and business owners.

“I try not to push my own art and let the other artists have a fair chance of sell-ing their work,” Ganucheau

said. “This gallery isn’t about Jake and I. That sort of came along the way.”

After watching it change for the past seven years, the owners are happy that the art garage is located in the middle of what they consider Austin’s growing art scene.

“I feel like we’re at a tip-ping point,” Bryer said. “We’ve been supporting this all along. We don’t ever look at it as a competitive thing. It’s always growing and I think there’s room for collaboration.”

It looked as though Texas could have es-caped Norman with a last-second win.

Down one with four seconds remaining, Okla-homa guard Morgan Hook missed a free throw, and the Longhorns took it coast-to-coast as junior forward Nneka Enemk-pali found herself behind Oklahoma’s defense.

Enemkpali completed the layup, but took too much time as the shot fell about a second late. In-stead of Texas celebrating, it was Oklahoma, clad in pink uniforms, that cele-brated in front of a crowd of pink uniforms with a 64-63 win.

“It was a tough loss,” head coach Karen Aston said. “Defensively, we just weren’t good enough down the stretch. We can’t put ourselves in a position to have to make that play on the road.”

Hook, who recorded 15 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, was just a free-throw short of be-ing perfect in the final

minutes of Wednesday night’s game.

Hook pushed the tem-po, going down the court for a game tying layup with 43 seconds to go to tie the game.

Then, after Texas didn’t get a call on a hard col-lision at the rim, Hook drove right at sophomore center Imani McGee-Staf-ford, drawing a foul with just four ticks remaining.

Hook sunk just one of two, but that was all the Sooners needed to skirt past the Longhorns with-out their best player.

“We just attached our-selves to Morgan’s will. We really did,” Oklahoma head coach Sherri Coale said. “She … made tough play after tough play. … She was not going to be denied this win.”

Oklahoma guard Aaryn Ellenberg, who leads the Sooners (16-11, 7-7 Big 12) with 18 points a game, was knocked out in their last contest against Oklahoma State with a concussion and was not able to suit up against the Longhorns.

This was supposed to be a break for the Longhorns (17-9, 8-6 Big 12) who saw

Ellenberg drop 37 points against them in their first matchup but still pull off an overtime win. But this time, without the Sooner star, Texas fell to the bal-anced Sooner offense led by Hook that saw three players score double-fig-ures. Both teams strug-gled from the field as Tex-as shot 40 percent and the Sooners shot 38.6 percent.

“Despite miserable numbers, I told them in the locker room that this stat sheet is ugly, but the important number on there is 64,” Coale said. “We had one more point than they did and we fi-nally figured out how to win a close game.”

Enemkpali and senior guard Chassidy Fussell led the Longhorns, combin-ing for a total of 33 points, while McGee-Stafford and sophomore guard Celina Rodrigo grabbed eight rebounds each. The Longhorns also recorded eight blocks, seven from McGee-Stafford.

Texas will try to re-cover from the loss when they play Iowa State on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Ames, Iowa.

It was third and four for the Sooners with the game tied at three. Chris Whaley dropped into coverage and into the perfect spot as the blitzing safety, Adrian Phil-lips, forced a pass right into Whaley’s hands. Whaley rumbled down the field, bulldozing the “Belldozer” to score his first collegiate touchdown and help the Longhorns grab a 10-3 lead they wouldn’t relinquish in the 2013 Red River Rivalry.

The fact that Whaley’s biggest play in burnt orange was a touchdown wouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone in 2009; after all, Whaley was ranked by ESPN as the 72nd best recruit in the nation as a running back coming out of high school. But now, coming out of col-lege, he is the 27th best de-fensive tackle, according to NFLDraftScout.com.

Whaley’s journey from running back to poten-tial NFL defensive lineman spanned over five years at Texas. In 2009, then-head coach Mack Brown opted to take Whaley as the lone run-ning back for the class, but he was redshirted in his first season on the 40 Acres.

In 2010, Whaley saw

limited playing time and began bulking up, ultimate-ly getting too big to play running back.

That spring, Whaley fi-nally made the move to the defensive line.

The 2011 campaign was filled with collegiate firsts for Whaley as he recorded his first tackle in the sea-son-opener against Rice, his first sack against Kansas, his first start against Baylor and his first fumble recov-ery against California in the Holiday Bowl.

With elevated expectations in 2012, Whaley struggled to

make a significant impact on a historically bad Texas team against the run.

But 2013 was a different story for Whaley, starting with the Red River Rivalry.

The Longhorns entered the game as huge underdogs, but, thanks to Whaley’s pick six, they were able to domi-nate the Sooners.

Two weeks later, Whaley scored his second touch-down of his career on a mo-mentum grabbing “scoop and score” against Kansas, becoming the first defen-sive tackle in school his-tory to score two defensive

touchdowns in a season.His elevated play had him

climbing the draft boards. Draft experts began talking about Whaley as a potential Day 3 name.

Then a season-ending knee injury against West Virginia abruptly ended his Texas career and his climb up the draft boards.

Whaley was invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, but it is unknown if he will be able to participate as he re-covers from his knee injury. Currently he is expected to go very late in the draft or to have to sign on as a

free agent. If Whaley can sell himself

like former Texas running back turned Pro Bowl de-fensive tackle Henry Melton, he should be able to make an NFL roster. Physically, both Melton and Whaley are offi-cially listed at 6 feet 3 inches and 295 pounds, but Whaley actually has an extra season of collegiate experience on the defensive line. Whaley also needs to prove that his knee has recovered. If he can do this, his knack for making the big play late in his college career should help him make an NFL roster.

Slow start has softball hoping for turnaround

Texas falls short in Norman

6STEFAN SCRAFIELD, SPORTS EDITOR / @texansportsThursday, February 20, 2014

SIDELINE

Texas softball finds itself in uncharted territory as of late, with a 6-6 record heading into the Mary Nutter Clas-sic in Palm Springs, Calif. on Thursday. After four straight wins to start the season, Texas lost six of eight games to fall to a modest .500.

The last time Texas failed to post a winning record through its first 12 games was in 2000, when the Longhorns were an even 6-6 after consecutive losses to then No. 15 Long Beach State and No. 1 UCLA. That year, Texas finished third in the Big 12 and advanced to the regional round of the NCAA playoffs be-fore losing to Florida.

Coming off a 2013 cam-paign in which the Longhorns reached the semifinals of the Women’s College World Se-ries and were a perfect 12-0 at that point in the season, head coach Connie Clark’s team has found success hard to come by early on.

With a notably younger team than last year’s squad — there are seven freshmen and six sophomores on the roster — Clark has stressed to the players the importance of pacing themselves as they con-tinue to navigate the growing pains of an unproven pitching staff and uncertain ace.

“The pitchers’ performanc-es have improved every time

they come out here,” senior catcher Mandy Ogle said. “It’s cool to see how they started out in the first weekend and what they have done this past weekend. I am excited for what this week brings.”

Texas has suffered some close losses, including its most recent 6-5 defeat at the hands of No. 9 Kentucky in the championship game of the Texas Classic. The Wild-cats came through in the seventh to score the winning run after a costly error.

“I feel like we are a come-back team this year,” Ogle said. “We’re in it all seven in-nings and that’s good to say for any team.”

Despite the team’s rough start, freshman outfielder Stephanie Wong finished the tournament leading the team in batting average (.636) after seven hits through five games.

“She is just locked in,” Clark said of Wong’s recent play. “She has a tremendous mind-set for the game [and is] very focused.”

The Longhorns fell from No. 16 to No. 25 in the na-tion after the sluggish start, but hope to end their woes against UNLV (2-7) and Cal Poly (4-6) on Thursday at 12:30 and 3 p.m. respec-tively. Texas will face No. 2 Washington, Fresno State and California, who both just fell out of the top 25 this week, throughout the rest of the weekend.

TCU receiver off team after drug arrest

FORT WORTH — TCU receiver LaDarius Brown has been kicked off the team after being arrested on a marijuana possession charge.

A statement Wednesday from the Horned Frogs athletics department says Brown violated team rules and was removed from the football program. Officials didn’t elaborate.

Fort Worth police late Sunday stopped Brown’s ve-hicle after he allegedly went through a stop sign. The officer smelled an odor be-lieved to be marijuana and searched the vehicle. Police confiscated a bag contain-ing a green, leafy substance.

Brown was charged with possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana. He was freed Monday on $500 bond.

Jail records Wednes-day didn’t list an attor-ney for Brown, who as a sophomore last sea-son had 393 yards and two touchdowns.

Clay McClinton has never tried to get away from the music lineage of his father and Grammy award-win-ning singer-songwriter Del-bert McClinton, but he is trying to carve out his own path in Americana music, or what he fondly calls Texas gumbo.

McClinton’s blend of Tex-as country, blues and rock ‘n’ roll is evident in each of the 12 tracks on his latest al-bum, Bitin’ at the Bit, which was released Tuesday. To celebrate the album’s release, McClinton will perform at the Cactus Cafe for the first time Thursday night.

“I like rock ‘n’ roll, coun-try, a little blues, a dash of jazz,” McClinton said. “You just have to know how to collaborate different kinds of style to make your own and hopefully it turns out good.”

Bitin’ at the Bit is McClin-ton’s first collaboration with Grammy-winning record producer and songwriter Gary Nicholson, who has known McClinton since he was 2 years old. Nicholson and McClinton co-wrote most of the songs on the al-bum with contributions by Delbert McClinton, Nash-ville studio drummer Tom Hambridge and Austin-based artist George Ensle.

“My dad and I were trying to figure out a name for the album and I was so anxious for the CD to come out,” Clay McClinton said. “I told my dad, ‘I’m just bitin’ at the bit, I’m just chompin’ at the bit,’ and a light went off in my head and I said, ‘That’s

the CD name.’”McClinton produced

the album with the help of a Kickstarter campaign through which he and his wife were able to raise $43,000. A portion of the funds raised were used for publicity while the rest went toward creating the album.

“I couldn’t go back into debt,” McClinton said. “One of the hardest things about being an independent artist is finding a budget to keep making CDs without any backing or label.”

Born and raised in Fort Worth, McClinton never graduated from college. In-stead, he decided to accom-pany his father on his road trips, playing music.

“When I was 15 or 16, during the summertime my dad would hire me to go with him on his road trips and help with the equip-ment,” McClinton said. “We would be on the road for a week or so … sleeping on the bus and playing music one night after another. I’ve always [liked] being nomad-ic. It was the coolest time when I was on the road with him.”

McClinton’s career has grown a lot since his first performance at age 14.

“His music is different,” Nicholson said. “But it has

Local art garage supports emerging artistsDown a small dirt path

off South Lamar sits a metal building not much larger than two dorm rooms. The rusted metal sidings, ex-posed concrete foundation and dusty exterior leave lit-tle hint as to what lies inside the building’s walls: local art, and lots of it, with pieces ranging in price from $20 to $2,500.

The Austin Art Garage, founded in 2007 by Jake Bryer and Joel Ganucheau, is a place for artists and buy-ers to sell and purchase art in a place that aims to cap-ture the aesthetic of the Aus-tin lifestyle.

“The gallery is for the ev-eryday person,” Bryer said. “Someone that’s young that doesn’t have enough money can buy something, but also there are big original pieces for people to buy. Not every-thing is affordable for every-one, but there’s something for everyone.”

After working 7.5 years for the Austin Business Jour-nal, Bryer began looking for art to furnish his home in Austin. Following an

Everything in Austra-lia is backward: Its winter is our summer, cars drive

on the left side of the road, mammals lay eggs and toilets flush in the opposite direction.

Well, not quite on that last one, but, if you be-lieved it, you’d be in good company.

The idea stems from the fact that we live on a rotating planet. Depend-ing on your latitude, this results in traveling at different speeds. A visi-tor near the North Pole barely moves at all, where-as, here in Austin, we’re

traveling at around 900 miles per hour.

Fire a bullet at the equa-tor and it’s still traveling at 1,000 miles per hour. But, since the ground below it is moving at the same speed, it doesn’t appear to travel nearly that fast. But, if you’re on a cruise ship due south of Austin at the equator and fire a gun to-ward our city, your bullet is going to hit to the right of where you aim, since it will have received an extra 100-mile-per-hour

boost from the rotation of the earth.

This “Coriolis effect” that causes the bullet to ap-parently turn in midair has major implications for bal-listic motion, and, in theo-ry, should have some effect on the water in our toilets.

The idea is that, as the water moves toward the drain, the northern wa-ter in the bowl — flow-ing toward the south — would veer left, while the

From the mountains of Libre, Colo., in his self-built dome home, artist Dean Fleming will be answer-ing questions via Skype at the UT Visual Arts Center on Thursday. The exhibit, “Travels in North Africa and Greece,” showcases the artist’s work and allows stu-dents to journey through the paintings of his travel sketchbook. The exhibit consists of many different

paintings of colorful geo-metric shapes and designs.

Art history professor Linda Henderson is the cu-rator of the exhibit and will host the talk with Fleming. Henderson believes Flem-ing’s art searches for anoth-er realm of space through shape.

“What we see in this ex-hibition is his discovery of the way, if he alters the grid or starts stretching things, the space will start moving,” Henderson said. “He would really like these works to

shake your confidence in the 3-D world as you know it.”

Xochi Solis, director of events and public program-ming at the center, helped coordinate the upcoming talk with Fleming.

“[Fleming] just had hip surgery, so it will be a Skype interview, but he’s looking forward to it,” So-lis said. “Dr. Henderson flew in [from Berlin] for this event.”

Henderson and Flem-ing have worked together

before in reaching out to students. Fleming lectured when his work was featured at the 2004 Blanton exhibit “Twister: Moving Through Color, 1965-1977” and also gave a lecture to one of Hen-derson’s classes a year ago.

“When he talks to stu-dents it is so inspiring be-cause he believes so much in the power of art and its ability to affect people in a positive way,” Henderson said. “What’s so great for
