As affordable housing continues to be an issue for University students and the city considers ban-ning “stealth dorms,” which would further limit avail-able housing options, a re-cent study conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland suggests Aus-tin may actually benefit from gentrification.

Gentrification is the process in which neigh-borhoods rise in property value, reducing housing affordability for current neighborhood residents. “Stealth dorms,” single-family residences that house multiple unrelated adults, are currently being examined by the Austin City Council.

In the study, research economist Daniel Hartley

Amid boxes of free pizza, nutritional science professor Molly Bray said some genes increase people’s inclination to be overweight by either giving greater satisfaction after eating or by suppress-ing the hormones that sub-due appetite.

Bray — an expert on the genetics of obesity — pre-sented her research on the biology behind resisting food temptations and main-taining fitness goals.

“Do people lose weights on [fad] diets?” Bray said. “They absolutely do … But there is a limit to wanting to eat like that.”

While Bray said trendy diets — such as the Atkins or fruitarian diets — pro-vide the quick results people generally look for, she said the diets are largely un-maintainable and unhealthy because of the body’s de-creased craving for repeated food items over time.

Bray said people often overlook the biology behind their pizza and bacon crav-

ings and assume everything is willpower-based. Food can affect a person’s size, but Bray said genetics drive how your body responds to what you eat. According to Bray, genetics affect the body’s production of leptin — a hormone that regulates appetite by telling the brain you’re satiated.

Lindsay Wilson, a

registered dietitian within the Division of Housing and Food Service said, while she can’t control what students choose to eat, DHFS does its best to ensure that healthy options are readily available.

Greek-yogurt-serving bars are available in J2 and Kinsolving Dining, hum-mus is available at all din-ing halls and DHFS made a

whole-wheat option for breakfast tacos available at the beginning of the spring semester.

While eating well may en-courage good health, Bray said exercise is also a necessary component for a fit lifestyle.

Bray is also the head of Training Interventions and

Research involving the pigmentation of dinosaurs has led researchers at UT to link prehistoric evolution to color.

Julia Clarke, an associ-ate professor in the Jackson School of Geosciences, col-laborated with a research team spanning across seven universities to study simi-larities between living organ-isms and extinct animals, and found that evolutionary shifts followed changes in the species’ color.

“I’m excited,” Clarke said. “When we started this work we never imagined that try-ing to figure out aspects of color would lead us to poten-tially learn something new about dinosaur physiology.”

The research compares the hair, skin and feathers of living terrestrial vertebrates and fossil specimens to find relations in levels of melanin, the pigmented tissue within organisms that determines color, and melanosomes, the

organelles that hold melanin.“Living mammals and

birds uniquely show a rela-tionship between the shape of melanosomes and their color — it’s what colors our hair,” Clarke said. “Genes that are involved in melanin-based color are also involved in many other aspects of physiology, like food intake and aspects of reproduction.”

Anthropology professor John Kappelman said the study, which was published in scientific journal “Nature” on Thursday, is expanding the scientific community’s ability to classify the physical characteristics of dinosaurs.

“These results are really exciting because it gives pa-leontologists one more tool that can be used to study the physiology of extinct species and reconstruct their color,” Kappelman said. “So, un-fortunately, Tyrannosaurus rex — while a very colorful character — probably did not have vibrant colors.”

Additionally, the

On Feb. 6, the State of Tex-as authorized the payment of $157,803 to Rusty Har-din — general counsel for the House Select Commit-tee on Transparency in State Agency Operations — for his work in the committee’s in-vestigation into the actions of UT System Regent Wallace Hall, according to invoices provided from the Texas Legislative Council.

Hardin originally billed the state $163,302 for his work from August to Octo-ber of last year, but the state contested certain charges, including several for “air flight insurance,” marked at just more than $20. Hardin originally billed $508 for din-ner at an Italian restaurant, but later requested to cancel the charge.

The House Committee is trying to determine whether Hall overstepped his duties as a regent after he filed open record requests with the Uni-versity for more than 800,000 pages of information. Some state legislators have accused him of conducting a “witch-hunt” against President Wil-liam Powers Jr.

Report: Gentrification is a good thing

Jonathan Garza / Daily Texan Staff Gentrification is occurring throughout the East Austin area, leaving neighborhoods with a mixture of modern homes along-side smaller, older homes.

A Capitol Metro bus struck a pedestrian near campus Wednesday.

The bus was preparing to make a protected left turn onto Martin Luther King Boulevard when one of the

bus’ side mirrors hit a man crossing the intersection, according to CapMetro spokesman John Julitz.

Julitz said the man was transported to University Medical Center Bracken-ridge with non-life threaten-ing head injuries, and is now in stable condition.

None of the 21 passengers aboard the bus reported any injuries and there were no other pedestrians involved, according to Julitz.

Because the bus driver had a green arrow, she was not cited for the incident. Julitz said whenever there is an ac-cident involving a CapMetro

bus, the bus driver is tested for drug and alcohol use.

“We don’t anticipate there being any situation where that is a factor, but we do run tests every time,” Julitz said.

According to Julitz, Cap-Metro will also review the incident to make sure the

driver could not have pre-vented the collision.

“We’ll take a look at this incident and see if there was anything that our driver could have done differently to make this preventable or if there is anything that we need to do from a training perspective,” Julitz said.

Hall was mistakenly given access to private student information — possibly in violation of federal privacy laws — which he subse-quently shared with his private attorney. During testimony, Francie Fred-erick, general counsel for the Board of Regents, said regents must have a valid, job-related reason to see protected information.

“I’m not a FERPA expert, but my understanding is that the regent must have a le-gitimate educational interest to see FERPA [documents], something related to the re-gent’s duties,” Frederick said.

At the same hearing, State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio, requested a review and response from

the UT System regarding the potential violation and motioned to have Hardin re-view Hall’s actions.

Phillip Hilder, outside counsel to the UT System, submitted a report to the committee stating there was “no credible evidence” that Hall violated any state or fed-eral laws regarding informa-tion protection. Hilder billed the state nearly $200,000 for his contributions from September to November of last year, according to

reports from The Dallas Morning News.

Hardin has yet to submit his report on Hall’s potential violation of privacy laws, but State Rep. Carol Alvarado, D-Houston and co-chair-woman of the committee, said she is looking forward to his findings.

“We appreciate [the Sys-tem] getting this to us in a timely manner, and I’m look-ing forward to reviewing the main report from our own general counsel [Hardin],”

research assists in identi-fying which dinosaur spe-cies were warm-blooded or cold-blooded by com-paring similar melanin diversity between living species and extinct speci-mens, according to inte-grative biology professor David Cannatella.

“We know that birds — which are living dino-saurs — are endothermic, or warm-blooded,” Can-natella said. “Whether ex-tinct dinosaurs that are closely related to birds were

endothermic or not has been debated for decades, so this work is highly signif-icant as evidence that sup-ports endothermy in this extinct group of dinosaurs.”

Clarke said the study leaves more work ahead to prove their hypoth-esis linking evolution and color change.

“We are continuing our work in this area,” Clarke said. “We will be looking at more fossils and also hope that more research on the melanin in living ver-tebrates may also illumi-nate the hypothesis we’ve put forth.”

Genetics of Exercise Re-sponse, an exercise research program coming to the Uni-versity in the fall. The pro-gram focuses on how genes may alter responses to ex-ercise and dietary interven-tion. In the program, which has been implemented at the University of Houston and the University of Alabama, students take various body measurements and physical tests before and after sessions over a span of 30 weeks.

Bray said even those with

a genetic disposition to be-come overweight have been able to lose weight because of the course education and physical routine.

“It gives you some incen-tive to say, ‘I do not have to be a prisoner of my genes,’” Bray said.

Victor Silva, a finance and psychology senior, said

he is a runner and believes determination is the most important factor for living a healthy lifestyle.

“At the end of the day, what results in you losing weight and getting results that you want is ultimately dependent on grit,” Silva said. “Genes just make it a little bit harder or easier.”

examined housing prices in Austin and other ma-jor cities. The study com-pared home prices, rents, incomes, the percentage of residents with a bachelor’s degree and the percentage of owner-occupied hous-ing units in gentrified and ungentrified areas. It also suggested residents in gentrified neighbor-hoods have better credit scores than those in ungentrified areas.

The study does not ex-plain why those who stay in gentrifying areas seem to do better financially and it does not address what hap-pens to long-time residents who are not able to stay in gentrifying neighborhoods, according to Mark Rodgers — executive director of the Guadalupe Neighborhood Development Corpora-tion, a nonprofit organiza-tion that builds housing for low-income residents in Austin.

“Obviously, when people are able to stay, they have some sort of different cir-cumstances than those who are not able to stay,” Rodgers said. “Certainly, [for] those that stay, you wouldn’t see much change in credit scores.”

Rodgers said he believes there are some benefits to gentrification.

“There may be more

opportunities, less crime — sure, that happens — but the real question is what happens to the folks that are displaced?” Rod-gers said. “What oppor-tunities are they finding, if any?”

According to Rodgers, the Guadalupe Neighbor-hood Development Cor-poration had about 250 households on a waiting list for affordable housing in 2006, and this year there are more than 600.

Emree Weaver, who graduated from the Uni-versity in 2012, said she has noticed new buildings being constructed near her neighborhood in the Cherrywood area, as well as downtown.

“We frequent the bars near Sixth Street a lot, but I’ve heard from other people that my neighbor-hood in particular is pretty booming,” Weaver said. “Austin is growing so much — we all know that — and there’s always something being built.”

Weaver said she has no-ticed a trend of artists mov-ing to East Austin, which she said may be one cause of gentrification in the area.

“The artist commu-nity is sort of moving its way over to the East side,” Weaver said. “I don’t think it’s bad, but things are just changing.”

Elizabeth Mueller, as-sociate social work and architecture professor, said gentrification is a complex issue without an easy solution.

“There is no single silver bullet,” Mueller said. “In Texas, the fact that we rely so heavily on property and sales taxes to fund local government makes this [af-fordable housing] burden higher than in other places that have a state income tax to balance out revenue.”

According to Mueller, the historical marginaliza-tion and exclusion from economic growth expe-rienced by many of these communities has contrib-uted to the undervaluation of their property values.

“I think a lot of city resi-dents living in other areas may not know these neigh-borhoods or think about them as related to their own lives,” Mueller said. “But they are part of our city’s history and part of what makes Austin unique — for better or worse.”

At the end of the day, what results in you losing weight and getting results that you want is ultimately dependent on grit.

CAMPUS CAMPUS

David Spence, law and busi-ness professor, said at a lecture Thursday that although frack-ing enables efficient access to natural gas, it also poses sev-eral risks to communities.

Fracking, short for hy-draulic fracturing, is a pro-cess that involves shooting pressurized water, chemicals and sand into deposits of bedrock — in this case shale — to extract natural gas for use as fuel.

Major risks Spence dis-cussed include water leakage and contamination, higher air pollution levels and an increased potential for earth-quakes in the area. Direct impacts on citizens include risks to the local quality of life, such as noise, local emis-sions and general road issues.

Spence said shale gas burns more cleanly than both oil and coal, causing the environmental benefits to outweigh the risks. In less than a decade, Spence said, shale gas has notably affected the fuel industry, reaching the commercial transporta-tion sector in an extremely accelerated span of time.

“Shale gas production has revolutionized the energy industry,” Spence said. “We were importing almost 60 percent of our fuel in the

1970s, and thanks to recent innovations, prices have plunged, and the U.S. is able to now export some of its un-used coal.”

Spence’s outlining of the potential arguments against fracking was apolitical and touched upon topics ranging from environmental to so-cioeconomic impacts.

Carson Stones, a master’s candidate at the LBJ School of Public Affairs, said Spen-ce’s lecture draws students of all majors.

“We come from all disci-plines,” Stones said. “You can’t be an engineer or a business-man and expect to solve all the problems yourself.”

The U.S. is the leading pro-ducer of shale gas, and Texas has access to some of the cheapest natural gas in the U.S., according to Spence.

“If prices stay cheap, [shale gas] could displace coal alto-gether and permeate into the private fuel industry, intro-ducing new jobs to commu-nities,” Spence said.

Varun Rai — assistant pro-fessor at the LBJ School and instructor of the UT Energy Symposium course, which organized the lecture — said he has high hopes for the program in the future.

“What’s interesting about shale gas fracking in particu-lar is the sheer speed of its impact,” Rai said.

Jewish women pivotal in feminism’s past

A disproportionately high number of Jewish women influenced the second wave of feminism in the 1960s and 1970s, according to Daniel Horowitz, an Ameri-can studies professor from Smith College.

“There aren’t many promi-nent feminist writers of note in that period who weren’t Jewish,” Horowitz said.

In a lecture Thursday, Horowitz said he was a friend of Jewish writer Betty Friedan until he published the book “Betty Friedan and the Making of ‘The Femi-nine Mystique’” in 2000. The book exposed the secret of her communist past in the 1940s. According to Horow-itz, Friedan’s first serious boyfriend at the University of California, Berkeley was a communist physics gradu-ate student working on the

atomic bomb. Horowitz said Friedan attempted to join the Communist Party herself in 1943, but was turned down because party leaders felt they already had enough intellec-tuals. In later years, Horowitz said, Friedan attempted to hide her radical past.

“There was a wonderful letter she wrote me once she realized what I was up to,” Horowitz said. “‘Dear Dan, How are you? How are the kids? How’s Helen?’ And then, ‘If you continue on this path, I will hire a lawyer and sue you.’”

According to Horowitz, Friedan did not write about Jewish culture in “The Femi-nine Mystique,” but instead focused the book on the struggle of middle class white women. Horowitz listed sev-eral other Jewish women who were a part of the feminist movement but never wrote about American Jews.

“They come out a

cosmopolitan universal-ist tradition in which the notion of womanhood or protestor is more important than the notion of Jewish-ness,” Horowitz said.

This may have been be-cause they didn’t want their feminist goals to be over-shadowed by their Jewish identity in the context of a wave of anti-Semitism in the middle of the 20th century, Horowitz said.

Sociology graduate stu-dent Carly Sheridan said she is currently taking a course about gender in the 1970s that has not mentioned the Jewish heritage of the femi-nists discussed in class.

“It’s not a popular topic that is often brought up,” Sheridan said. “These femi-nists are only known as fem-inists. I did not know they were Jewish.”

Robert Abzug, director of the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies, said he asked Horowitz to come to the University because of his eminent work studying the crossovers between femi-nism and Jewish culture.

“His work, especially on Betty Friedan, opened up very big questions in the field on the roots of Ameri-can feminism,” Abzug said. “He has now been develop-ing the Jewish side of that.”

Miriam Rousseau / Daily Texan StaffProfessor Daniel Horowitz discusses Jewish feminism at the Liberal Arts Building on Thursday evening. The lecture covered feminism of the 1960s and feminist writer Betty Friedan.

It’s not a popular topic that is often brought up. These feminists are only known as feminists. I did not know they were Jewish.

endothermic or not has been debated for decades, so this work is highly signif-icant as evidence that sup-ports endothermy in this extinct group of dinosaurs.”

Clarke said the study leaves more work ahead to prove their hypoth-esis linking evolution and color change.

“We are continuing our work in this area,” Clarke said. “We will be looking at more fossils and also hope that more research on the melanin in living ver-tebrates may also illumi-nate the hypothesis we’ve put forth.”

WE ASKED

We asked: Is Shared Services a good idea for UT?

COLUMN

A loud piano in a quiet room

By Olivia BerkeleyDaily Texan Columnist

@ oliviaberkeley

TAKE YOUR SHOT

I don’t see why a public institu-tion should have to consoli-date when it should try to pro-vide jobs and provide income for any people as possible.

Illustration by Stephanie Vanicek/ Daily Texan Staff

Editor’s Note: Over the past few months, this editorial board, as well as a number of guest columnists, have offered their opinions on Shared Services, the University’s plan to con-solidate its workforce by 500 people in the areas of human resources, information technology and finance and procurement over the next five years. On Thursday, we hit the West Mall and asked you, the students, what you thought about the planned shake-up in the staff. Below are some of your responses.

“Of course you want as many jobs as you can, but you also don’t want to waste money

… that’s being wasted. So it’s a very difficult question. I mean, the Democrat in me wants to keep the jobs; the Republican in me wants to get rid of the jobs. If there’s any kind of bal-ance that could be found, I think that would be best. I mean you want to consolidate, but I think getting rid of 500 jobs, that’s kind of damaging to a lot of people. So maybe not as much consolidation.” —biology junior Chris Collier

“I mean, is it the elimination against the will of the people who are employed? So I will say this: there’s this class that I took — I’m a computer science major — so there’s this class that I took called Contemporary Is-sues in Computer Science, and a portion of the class was just going over the history of technological development over the past 50 or 60 years. While it might be maybe a bit cynical to say this, inevitably as technology develops, we create systems that are able to automate many of the processes that, in the past, we have had to do manually or through other means. And in doing so, what’s going

to happen is that jobs that people once had are going to be replaced by machines. I don’t know if that’s exactly what’s happening in this situation, but it sounds like it. And while I want to say that this is good, it definitely has a negative impact.” —computer science senior Vamsi Vishnubhotla

“I know of [Shared Services]; I know it has affected some of my co-workers and some de-partments that I am passingly familiar with. I guess it hasn’t hit our department yet. I do course scheduling so it hasn’t hit me directly. But I know about it. But, not a whole lot on a practical level. I think there is a lot of fear, and given that a lot of folks are already doing a lot more than they used to have, I think that for practical implications it won’t be felt until it starts hitting in bigger ways.” —College of Liberal Arts course scheduler Victoria Vlach

“I don’t see why a public institution should

have to consolidate when it should try to pro-vide jobs and provide income for any people as possible. Well it’s a public institution, taxes

pay for it — government funding — so it should go back into the community. Why not?” —music performance junior Brenham Adams

“Depends if they are superfluous jobs. I can’t say I know exactly which ones are being eliminated, I guess I’d need more details on that. I think there are probably a lot of super-fluous administrative positions at UT. I just don’t know what they are. I don’t know what the initiative would be tackling. I think that’s potentially good. Everyone freaks out at the sound of less jobs, but there’s also an issue with college campuses having too many ad-ministrative positions and most of our tuition — or at least a large portion of it, so I think it has potential.” —Michael Wiggins, biomedi-cal engineering student

The lobbies at Carothers Dormitory, An-drews Residence Hall and The Blanton Mu-seum of Art are places where residents can congregate to work. But the appeal of these lobbies is not strictly academic; there are pianos in all three rooms, and they draw stu-dent piano players. As someone who has a hard enough time studying with my iTunes library on shuffle, the pianos in the lobbies serve as a distraction.

But when shared space is concerned, who wins out — the person studying or the one playing the piano?

There are playing hours in all of the lob-bies from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. But, despite the fact that there are multiple signs surround-ing the pianos that clearly state these hours, the rules are widely ignored. Clearly, when artists are in their element, they can’t be bogged down with rules and regulations.

Every time a person makes his way to the piano, a part of me shouts out in inter-nal protest. A quiet room, complete with stressed-out students frantically finishing papers and cramming for tests, doesn’t seem like the best environment to start tickling the ivories.

“I have never felt entirely comfortable doing so,” said Plan II Honors sophomore Gabe Colombo, who has played the piano in the Quad before. “Any time I play, people will hear, and, even if they’re not studying, there’s still the possibility that they just don’t want to listen to someone play the piano. I have to assume that people want to do what they’re doing without interruption.”

The Quad isn’t the only living space on campus with pianos. Other dorms, such as Jester and Kinsolving have them as well, but theirs are located in areas that otherwise wouldn’t be ideal study spaces. Kinsolving’s

piano is directly outside its bustling dining hall, and Jester’s is right next to the J2 dining area, which overlooks the noisy first floor corridor of Jester West. Unlike the Quad lobbies, these locations aren’t conducive to studying any way, so the presence of a piano has little impact on students.

But every time I enter one of the Quad lobbies, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m handing over my rights to study in a quiet area to the piano player. In choosing to study in a place where there is a piano, a person tacitly agrees to the possibility of piano music.

“When you enter a space where there is a piano, you are [giving up your right to] com-plain when they [do so],” said junior John Murray, whom I found playing the piano in the Carothers lobby when I was working one morning.

As much as my peace-and-quiet-craving self hates to admit it, Murray is right: Places where there are pianos are the only viable option for practicing on campus. Practice rooms in the music school are “for Butler School of Music majors or students en-rolled in music courses only,” as the Butler School of Music website states. All other students are forced to opt to practice in the lobbies.

“I sympathize with the pianists: It is of-ten hard to find time/space to practice,” said Connor McCampbell, a Plan II Hon-ors and business sophomore. “My one disappointment upon arriving to UT — a school that is known for fostering creativity — was finding inadequate resources for its student musicians.”

With this in mind, the University should most certainly allocate alternate, non-residential practice space for students. This would put an end to the long-fought battle between the piano player and stud-ier. The dispute over who holds the rights to the Quad lobbies should be a jumping-off point, not a dead end. We all could do with a little less complaining and a little more compromise.

Friday Firing Lines: Greeks, creationism, Valentine’s day

NO EVIDENCE FOR CREATIONISM

Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection has been proven. It’s been reproduced many times over. There is no debate that natural selection occurs. Let’s at least get that point out of the way. I have yet to see any scientific evidence that supports creationism or intelligent design. Note that I am not talking about evidence that “disputes evolution”; I mean evidence that supports creationism or ID. I don’t think such evidence exists. I don’t think creationists/IDers would even know what that evidence would look like. As far as the eye goes, your idea that the eyeball evolved before vision is not only an absurd assumption but one that com-pletely ignores the natural world. I assume that you are unaware that there are single-celled organisms with proteins that change shape when they absorb energy from photons, giving them an ability to tell the difference between light and dark. Then you have insects with compound eyes that are basically just collections of very simple lenses. There are animals with eyes capable of focusing but very limited color vision. Then you have animals like hu-mans who can see multiple colors. Thus, vision predates the eyeball.I don’t know why you’re encouraging people to read up on these subjects. Creationism and ID are based on nothing more than ignorance and misunderstanding.”

— Online commenter Patrick, in response to opinion column “A modest proposal in de-fense of creationism.”

MEN LIKE ROSES TOO

“Hey, Chocolate is for everyone! It loves everyone equally!”— Online commenter Dana W, in response to opinion piece “Valentine’s Day vendors leave

out LGBTQ community.”

“I agree options for men might be ‘limited,’ but I’m not one to pass up some roses and a box of chocolates! I don’t think men are limited to only masculine gifts. Give me a stuffed bear holding a heart from my significant other and I will treasure that forever.”

— Online commenter Kent Kasischke, in response to the same piece.

Autumn Rose Taylor @autumnrosepinkIt’s so unreasonable to expect everyone to live in the $800+/month apartments in West Campus... Even places like Riverside are just as expensive. The reason why stealth dorms are a thing is that ~<600/month rent.

STEALTH DORMS MAKE AUSTIN AFFORDABLE

DON’T BERATE THE GREEKS

It’s ironic to me that you’re chastising groups of people whose eponym comes from the nation that made democracy famous, for being better at it.It seems to be a running thought among progressives that when something doesn’t go the way they want it, there is a new need for ‘diversity,’ ‘better representation,’ and to end fabricated ‘inequality’. You claim that you don’t want to berate the Greeks about 6 paragraphs after you categorize them as being ho-mogenous white males (because we know all white males are the same), so the average reader isn’t dumb enough to believe that bullshit. The most deeply concerning thing written in this article is perhaps also the dumbest statement in it: “Democracies have lasted thousands of years for a reason. It’s because they drive change.” Democracies have failed because of the de-sire for further ‘change’ (deferring power to representatives, who then capitulate to a party). What possible system could be more fair than having the people vote directly on what they want? Nothing. It’s snooty people like you who lie to others with the argument that increasing the presence of people who never cared enough to be involved to begin with, will somehow make things better (though you never specify how).

-Online commenter “J.” in response to the opinion column “This year, make Student Gov-ernment representative of all UT students, not just the Greek community.”

SIDELINE

Texas going back to Cali

By Matt Warden@TheMattWarden5

Shelby Tauber / Daily Texan StaffJunior pitcher Parker French will be the Longhorns’ opening game starter against California on Friday. French will be the No. 1 Texas starter for the second consecutive season after posting a 4-5 record and 2.68 ERA as a sophomore last year.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

The Frank Erwin Center will play host Saturday to a matchup that has turned into one of Texas’ biggest Big 12 contests in the last half of the season.

West Virginia (15-10, 7-5 Big 12), which has grown into one of the league’s hot-test teams, will travel south to Texas to take on the Long-horns (19-5, 8-3 Big 12) Sat-urday night.

Texas and West Virginia are tied in their series, with both teams winning three games each. The Longhorns won the last game against the Mountaineers 80-69 in January in Morgantown, W. Va., led by sophomore guard Javan Felix, who posted 19 points in the contest.

Now, Felix is leading his team into this matchup after tallying 27 points in Texas’ romp of Oklahoma State on Tuesday. Felix hit a career-high six 3-pointers, which has given him much more confi-dence in hitting those outside shots that he was hesitant to take in the past.

“I know I can make those shots and it’s just a matter of me taking them,” Felix said in a Feb. 11 press release. “That’s something my team-mates got on me about — about stopping passing up

shots. That’s what I’ve tried to do, just take my open looks and get them within the flow of the offense.”

Texas was without lead-ing scorer Jonathan Hol-mes in Tuesday’s game. While he is currently still a game-time decision for Saturday’s contest, multiple Longhorns have stepped up to replace their lone scholarship upperclassman.

Freshman guard Martez Walker noted a career-high 12 points against the Cow-boys and brought a new en-ergy to the court in replace-ment of Holmes.

“It is nice to come back and play better than we had the last two games, that is what was nice about it,” said Texas head coach Rick Barnes after Tues-day’s win. “I thought we had guys who were a little bit more locked in and focused and re-ally tried to do the things we talked about. We did a nice job of just coming back and play-ing as a team.”

Texas looks to grab its ninth win in the last 10 games as it sits in second place in the conference. West Virginia, which was predicted to finish seventh in the Big 12 just in front of Texas, is coming off a 25-point win against No. 11 Iowa State. The Mountaineers have now won four of their last five games and are tied for fourth in the conference.

Energy key to success against Mountaineers

Texas opened up the season in a fashion simi-lar to the past couple of years, winning their first four games of the year — including three against ranked opponents — while averaging seven runs a game.

But the Longhorns’ last three games have been the opposite of their first four games. While pitching has kept them in the game, the offense has sputtered, fail-ing to score five runs in each of the three games — all of which were losses.

Now 4-3, the Longhorns will host the Texas Classic and have the chance to end their recent skid.

The common denomina-tor in Texas’ three straight losses has been the lack of offense, especially with

scoring opportunities. In the three losses, Texas has left 31 runners on base, including 16 in the loss to UTSA on Wednesday. Against the Roadrunners, the Longhorns loaded the bases in five innings, but were only able to score two runs in one of those in-nings, both of which came from a hit batter and a field-ing error.

“We need to attack our pitches early and not getting us deep into the count,” said sophomore pitcher and first baseman Holly Kern.

The inability to score has put Texas in a tough spot while the pitching staff works to find an ace. Considered a weak spot on the team coming into the season, the Longhorn pitchers have fared well so far giving up an average of just four runs through seven games.

Head coach Connie Clark was impressed with how her pitchers approached the UTSA game.

“They were better on the things we were looking to be better at, which was at-tacking the strike zone and working ahead in the count,” Clark said.

Texas will have an oppor-tunity this weekend to get back on a win streak, but it will be against stiff com-petition. Kentucky comes into the tournament unde-feated — alongside IPFW — and ranked seventh in the NFCA poll.

Kern said the team knows the tournament will be a challenge, especially after the last couple of games, but it will also show how tough they are.

“It will definitely be a test to the character of this team to see how we do this week-end,” Kern said.

Texas enters the 2014 season as a team whose numbers tell the story.

The Longhorns will begin their season against Cali-fornia as the No. 22 team in the nation. Following a disappointing 2013 cam-paign in which they ended as just the 25th best team, head coach Augie Garrido knows a change in mentality is imperative.

“I don’t know how they will react to the adversities. That will be the next step,” Garrido said. “The truth of the matter is, OK there is your talent, but the other truth about it is — and all of you know — talent is important, but it does not end up winning the game. Teamwork ends up winning the game.”

The team Garrido was al-luding to lost 15 games last year that were decided by two runs or less. But with seven positional starters return-ing with a 17-2 record when scoring five or more runs last season, that cushion they love should keep growing.

“We are trying to take the emphasis off of batting average and put the emphasis offen-sively on the true reason you win, and true reason you lose: run scoring,” Garrido said.

“Make a contribution to run-scoring with the kind of outs they make and the timely hits they get. So, that is where we will be coming from, and we think we have the right attitude to be able to do it.”

Senior Mark Payton and sophomore C.J. Hinojosa re-turn as the leading hitters for Texas, notching averages of .393 and .309 last season. Al-though the Bears return 23 players from last year’s squad, no starting pitcher recorded an ERA less than 3.00, which bodes well for the Longhorns looking for runs in bunches.

“We can score as many runs as we want in an in-ning, that’s something that has changed,” Hinojosa said. “That’s something that is go-ing to change this year. We are going to score a lot this year. From my aspect, seeing everything, I think we are go-ing to score.”

In addition to returning a huge portion of their starting lineup, the Longhorns also re-turn 89 percent of their total in-nings pitched from last season, including the entire starting ro-tation that posted a stellar com-bined ERA of 2.29 last season.

“It’s refreshing [having the entire rotation back],” ju-nior pitcher Dillon Peters. “I think we are all comfortable knowing what our roles are. We’re going to get after it the same way we got after it last year and just produce for our team and keep as many runs off the boards as we can.”

Junior pitcher Parker French, who finished last sea-son with a 4-5 record and 2.68 ERA, will toe the line for the Longhorns on Friday night against a Bears team that finished eight games under .500 last year. Texas is 10-2 in

season openers since 2002, and has won six straight.

The series between the two teams is tied at six wins apiece, but Texas is hoping to increase its win total to 10 after the four-game series this weekend.

Excited and hungry, Texas will start another trek to Oma-ha, Neb., with expectations that they will be in the No. 1 spot when that trip comes.

“We’re ready to get our feet wet, whether it’s raining or snowing,” Hinojosa said. “Ev-erybody is ready to come out ready to grind it and groove for however long we get to play.”

Women’s tennis welcomes opponents

Coming off a win-less outing in Virginia, the Longhorns return to the Forty Acres for a six-match homes-tand against a few more top-ranked opponents.

Texas (3-4) has been in a slump lately, losing four straight matches after starting the season 3-0. The Longhorns played four top-12 teams during that rough stretch and, despite the losing streak, they remain 17th in the ITA rankings.

This weekend Texas hosts No. 7 Northwest-ern and No. 15 Vander-bilt. The Longhorns pre-vailed in their last dual matches against both squads. However, the Commodores compiled a 9-1 record over Texas at the Miami Spring Invite in January

Sophomore Breaunna Addison has had an up-and-down start in dual-match play, but leads the Longhorn with a 4-3 record. She has already lost half as many matches as she did all of last sea-son when she went 23-6 in singles.

The Longhorns will begin play at the Penick-Allison Center at noon on Saturday against Northwestern and at the same time on Sunday versus Vanderbilt.

Longhorns track and field to split up for tourneys

The men’s track and field team will split up this week, with the dis-tance team travelling to the Iowa State Classic and the sprinters and field athletes travelling to Fayetteville for the Tyson Invitational.

Why does the team split up and attend dif-ferent meets so fre-quently? According to coach Mario Sategna, “There’s a little strategy behind it.”

Coach Sategna’s focus is on making sure his team is not only ready for the conference meet in two weeks, but also has the necessary quali-fying times to attend the national meet. The top 16 athletes in each event from all around the country qualify for the national meet, so having fast times is very important.

“What we try to do is look at where the top per-formances usually come out of,” Sategna said.

as a group,” Burgess said. “So, we’ve got the first black Greek organization on campus, which was Al-pha Kappa Alpha sorority. They will present on their organization’s founding and they also do step when they perform.”

As the first event of Black Empowerment Week, What Started Here Changed Our World pro-vides a timeline of African-American history at UT. The program highlights important events in UT’s history, beginning in 1953 with the acceptance of Herman Sweatt — the first African-American student on campus — into UT’s law school, as well as the hir-ing of head football coach Charlie Strong in 2014.

“We hope that this event leaves people with a pas-sion to actually cause change and to tell the sto-ries of African-Americans and how they impact the

campus and nation as a whole,” said Matthew Ealy, chairman of co-sponsor African-American Culture. “We want to start with a focus on UT and hope-fully branch out to how African-Americans have contributed to the build-ing and remaking of the United States.”

The purpose of What Started Here Changed Our World is not only to en-tertain, but also to provide community members with a more enlightened, com-prehensive understanding of African-American history.

“I feel like with black his-tory month, it forces peo-ple to pay attention to the history of what America has done to our race,” said Jacy Jordan, publicity offi-cer for African-American Culture. “It’s catered to the black community, but it’s important that the whole campus knows the history of the black race and what we went through to be here. It’s important that we understand these things,

so that we can all come together and grow.”

ImpactFULL and Af-rican-American Culture hope to inspire and moti-vate community members, specifically minorities, to unite and challenge their communities.

“We want this event to inspire,” Ealy said. “It started with one person. That’s essentially what we want to get across. You as one person can affect so much on this campus and even globally. You as a person have so much po-tential that you can cause a kinetic change.”

called the Austin Music Map. It’s a website that explores interesting hid-den spaces where music is happening in East Aus-tin and the stories around those communities.”

This year, MapJam will be held at five different venues with eight local bands play-ing consecutive shows from noon until midnight. The diversity originally sought after with the Austin Music Map remains a strong point in MapJam.

The bands performing range in genre from old country to hip-hop. Each of the bands has been des-ignated a distinct place to play. Some bands will per-form at breweries, some will play at a millwork site and others are set to play at Pan Am Park.

“I’m excited about Pan Am Park,” Howle said. “It’s on top of a hill and at the time we booked it, the sun will be going down and you can see downtown Austin from the hillside. It’s going to be cool.”

Local indie-rock band Growl will play at Delta

Millworks, an East Austin lumber mill. The stage will be outside and located on the flatbed of a semi-truck.

“KUTX found some pretty unique hidden spots in East Austin,” said Sam

Houdek, a radio-television-film senior and Growl’s drummer. “I’ve lived here for years and I know a lot of the people don’t get to see these places and get to hear cool bands play.”

Magna Carda, another band set to perform at Map-Jam, will play at the Historic Scoot Inn, one of Austin’s oldest running breweries.

“It’s a true Austin event,” said Dougie Do, keyboard

and beatmeister of Magna Carda. “We have shows where people come around from other places, which is cool, but this is one where the true people from Austin are going to go.”

school, she began running in college as a way to relax.

Neuendorff and her friends decided to run the half marathon together and began training in October.

“It’s more mental than I thought it is,” Neuendorff said. “Even when you’re really tired, and you know you have to go run 11 miles, you prepare yourself mentally at the beginning of the day.”

Neuendorff said the hardest part of the train-ing process has been find-ing the time every day and staying committed even through exhaustion and sickness. Neuendorff said her sister, who is a fresh-man at UT, kept her moti-vated throughout the pro-cess and challenged her to keep going.

Training and running such long distances have required commitment and motivation from both George and Neuendorff.

Neuendorff runs with her roommate so they can push each other to keep going. Signing up early and knowing she’d paid for it also helped her to stay committed.

George said hydration and stretching have been key to his running journey. He said maintaining his health has been a priority throughout the process.

“Running a marathon has always been a lifelong goal of mine,” George said. “I want to accomplish it sooner rather than later.”

began showing the film in Arkansas and Texas. The film premiered last spring at the Dallas International Film Festival to a sold out theater.

“The crowd went crazy,” Looney said. “It was like being at a Texas home game.”

Although the atmo-sphere was a bit calmer in Arkansas, Looney said the film still received posi-tive feedback. James saw the documentary there in September.

“Seeing the film brought back things I had totally forgotten about in the game and some of the things going on in col-lege,” James said. “Even though we lost it was a great experience for me to be in the game and do this film.”

“The Big Shootout” brought Campbell back to his college years.

“Holy cow, I had no

idea it was going to be as good as it was,” Campbell said. “You realize with the film it’s not just about the game, it’s about the life and times of 1969. It just took us all back. When the video was over, it was just this experience and you’re almost in a state of shock by being taken back in time.”

Although he said it’s a stretch, Looney said the best outcome would be for the documentary to be picked up and turned into a feature film.

“My team and I were a part of something im-portant,” Looney said. “It’s a sad film, but it ends with hope.”

February marks the re-membrance of African-American history in the United States, and up until this year, UT didn’t have a celebration solely devoted to Black His-tory Month. This year, though, three UT organi-zations will shed light on UT’s African-American history in the Univer-sity’s first annual “Black Empowerment Week.”

The weeklong program begins this Sunday at 6 p.m. with students per-forming skits, dances and songs at the event What Started Here Changed Our World.

ImpactFULL Solutions, a student organization devoted to raising aware-ness about current events and culture, is one of the co-sponsors of the event.

Morgan Burgess, Impact-FULL’s external commu-nications coordinator, said it is important to have an event that inspires and mobilizes African-Ameri-can students on campus.

“It’s an exploration of UT’s black history, spe-cifically,” Burgess said. “Although we do focus

on prominent black lead-ers during the civil rights period, it’s more focused on UT’s history. So it’s a different twist on Black History Month.”

What Started Here Changed Our World will include performances ranging from spoken-word poetry to live step by

individuals and groups on campus, meant to show-case and celebrate the achievements of African-Americans on campus.

“We really wanted to capitalize on the gigan-tic accomplishments that we’ve had coming together

While most music festi-vals in Austin are filled with national touring artists, the second annual KUTX Map-Jam puts the spotlight on local acts.

“This is a day-long moveable music festival that happens in the streets of East Austin,” said Map-Jam and KUTX produc-er Haley Howle. “It got

started last year because we launched an interac-tive multimedia project

The crowds cheered, fans were glued to their TV sets and the U.S. presi-dent even sat in the stands for what would later be called the “Game of the Century.” Directed by Mike Looney, “The Big Shootout” recounts the 1969 Texas vs. Arkansas championship football game and the events sur-rounding it. The game was the first televised college football championship.

Looney started writing the film as an original screen-play with former Texas foot-ball player Bobby Mitchell, who played in the 1969 championship game.

“I got with Bobby and I told the story through his eyes,” Looney said. “It was a very Forrest-Gump like screenplay.”

Looney decided to make the film a documentary when he realized many people involved in the story were older and might not live to see the final product. A documentary format al-lowed him to get the film out faster.

“I was finishing the script and I thought, ‘My gosh, someone’s going to die,’” Looney said. “It’s now or never.”

Looney began interview-ing players from both Texas

and Arkansas for the film, including Arkansas head coach Frank Broyles and Texas head coach Darrell Royal. Looney also asked Texas player Tom Campbell for an interview.

Campbell said the legacy of the game has stayed with him in the 47 years since he played it.

“We’re just all amazed that this game we played so long ago just doesn’t go away,” Campbell said. “It’s alive.”

Arkansas player Bruce James played in the champi-onship and also contributed to the documentary. The res-onance of the game touched his life also.

“The game is one of those things that’s never going to happen again,” James said. “It’s one of a kind.”

The film concentrates not only on the game it-self, but also on the social and personal issues sur-rounding it. In 1969, mass anti-Vietnam War demon-strations were taking place around the UT campus. Texas player Bobby Mitch-ell lost his brother in Viet-nam months before playing in the game.

The civil rights movement was also prevalent during the time. The 1969 game was the last championship football game to be played with only white players.

“This documentary re-ally captured [the time],

and that’s rare,” James said. “Not only what was going on with the game itself, but also with what was going on in the world at that time.”

Major networks offered to purchase “The Big Shootout” from Looney and producer

Don Stokes. Although they took a huge financial risk, Looney said he couldn’t risk having a network cut it up and make the film something he didn’t intend it to be. Looney and Stokes

Two students face ultimate test of enduranceFor many of the run-

ners participating in the 23rd annual Austin Mara-thon, the race serves as a qualifier for entering prestigious marathons like the races in Boston and New York City. But for UT students Michael George and Jessie Neuen-dorff, competing means accomplishing goals.

Traditionally, training for a marathon is a rigor-ous process that can begin as much as a year in ad-vance. But George, a bio-medical engineering fresh-man, began training only two months prior to the big race.

Following a specific schedule, George runs 4 to 5 miles every day, and 13 miles on the weekend. He adds 3 miles to his routine each weekend to increas-ingly build endurance.

George said he has to

mentally prepare himself for the long runs. Instead of thinking of the miles, he envisions running laps. Since 3 miles is the equivalent of one lap, run-ning nine laps sounds a lot more manageable than 26.2 miles.

George said running is his way of unwinding and let-ting go of stress.

“As a college student, I have so many things to deal with, such as church, fam-ily, friends, tests, quizzes, homework, IM sports and clubs,” George said. “Run-ning is my escape from all of this. When I run, it’s just me and my thoughts, and I really enjoy that time to myself.”

Like George, Neuendorff sees running as the per-fect stress reliever. Unlike George, she did not grow up enjoying the sport of running. After playing vol-leyball throughout high
