Uber, Lyft face increased regulations By Forrest Milburn @forrestmilburn

The future of Uber, Lyft and other ride-hailing companies continuing to provide services in Austin is uncertain as a fingerprint-based background check ordinance is set to go into effect on Feb. 1. Austin City Council members voted to increase regulations at its Dec. 17 meeting. After nearly five hours of

debate, council members voted 9-2 to increase regulations — including fingerprintbased background checks — on transportation network companies such as Uber and Lyft. “It is the intent and desire of this community to have drivers that are fingerprinted,” Mayor Steve Adler said during the December meeting. Originally, the council’s

proposed regulations were set to be mandatory once in effect, prompting Uber and Lyft officials to threaten to leave the city if fingerprint background checks and other regulations were approved. Since ride-hailing companies have left cities, such as San Antonio, after facing new regulations, Austin City Council members drafted an updated framework of regulations that establishes

implementation dates for compliance with the regulations. The ordinance also uses incentives to try and push drivers to get background checks and companies to hire drivers with approved background checks. Council members in support of the ordinance argued the updated regulations were a compromise they believed the companies could support. Although the ordinance

is set to go in effect in a few weeks, the issue hasn’t been resolved at City Hall. Since the December council meeting, opponents of the ordinance have organized a group called Ridesharing Works for Austin, which is currently attempting to collect at least 20,000 valid signatures to force the council to put the issue up to the voters on the

UNIVERSITY

A proposed 3 percent tuition increase has been met with both support and pushback from UT students as the University strives to rein in rising costs while remaining affordable. President Gregory Fenves submitted a proposal to the Board of Regents to increase tuition by 3.1 percent in the 2016-2017 academic year and 3 percent in the 2017-2018 academic year — an average increase of $150 per semester. Tuition increases will fund initiatives to improve the graduation rate, raise faculty salaries, provide scholarships to disadvantaged students and maintain campus facilities, according to the Tuition Advisory Policy Committee. Yanett Heredia, a neuroscience and Spanish sophomore who receives financial aid, said she thinks the proposed tuition increase would contradict UT’s stated goal of increasing student diversity. She described her financial situation as “tight” and said the money used to go to tuition could buy books or pay for food. “I definitely think that will have a negative impact on students, especially the students I usually interact with on a daily basis,” Heredia said. “You might see an increase in drop-out students.” Student Government Vice President Rohit

CAMPUS

The Division of Housing and Food Service has prohibited the use of hoverboards in residence halls and dining facilities, according to director of residence life Mylon Kirksy, The 2015-2016 DHFS Residence Hall Manual bans students from playing sports in residence halls, “[including], but not limited to, playing Frisbee, rollerblading, skateboarding, tossing balls … and/or riding bicycles or hoverboards.” DHFS decided to implement restrictions on hoverboards, a type of electric skateboard with wheels, after researching general safety concerns and noticing the limitations other universities put on the devices, Kirksy said. While there is not an official hoverboard ban on the UT campus, more than 30 U.S. universities have decided to ban hoverboards on their campuses because of safety concerns, according to an Associated Press article written Jan. 7. DHFS sent an email to students on Jan. 7 regarding the use of hoverboards in residence halls that contained a link to the updated version of the residence hall manual. “The residence hall is a

UTPD reports daily crime over University-related court cases break despite students’ absence progress through December By Natalie Sullivan

Although most students were not on campus over winter break, UTPD reported at least one instance of crime each day. According to Campus Watch reports, UTPD recorded 125 crimes between the end of finals and the last day of break, including 21 instances of graffiti, 13 instances of theft and 10 incidents involving intoxication. Here are some of the most notable incidents: On Jan. 6, UTPD spotted a man who was not affiliated with the University throwing objects into the turtle pond. Although the man told the officers he was feeding the turtles bagels, the officers asked

him to stop. After the man stopped feeding the turtles when asked, he then walked away from the pond and started yelling. His actions resulted in a criminal trespass warning. UTPD officers found a person who was not affiliated with UT sleeping on a bench inside the Engineering Teaching Center on Jan. 6. When the officers woke the person up, they found out the person had been issued a criminal trespass warning prior to that night, and consequently took the person into custody. On Jan. 7, when a UT police officer saw a driver make an illegal turn onto a road and barely missed hitting a motocyclist, the police officer pulled the

driver over. While questioning the driver, the police officer found out the driver did not have a valid driver’s license or proof of insurance. The officer determined the driver was driving under the influence of alcohol, and also found the driver had two additional arrest warrants for not appearing in court and another instance of driving without a valid license. Police officers received a call on Jan. 8 about an intoxicated man inside the Jesse H. Jones Communication Center. The subject was found sleeping inside a restroom stall when officers arrived. When he was awakened, he was not able

Over the winter break, two court cases related to the University continued. Abigail Fisher v. University of Texas II The Supreme Court heard a second round of arguments for the case, which could determine the use of affirmative action at the University and the rest of the nation, on Dec. 9. Fisher, a rejected UT applicant who is white, claims she was not accepted to UT in 2008 on the basis of her race. The case was heard in the Supreme Court in 2012, where it was then sent back to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. When the Fifth Circuit ruled that Fisher

failed to make her case, Fisher appealed to the Supreme Court again in 2015. The Court’s role this time around is to determine if the Fifth Circuit’s previous ruling, which endorsed the University’s use of race in

undergraduate admissions, should be upheld. At the hearing, the Court heard arguments from both sides about the case. Fisher’s attorney, Bert

Fisher said she hopes the case will end racial preferences at the University. Representatives for UT argued that even if race had not been considered, Fisher would still not have been admitted into the University, and said the top 10 percent plan, which automatically admits students in the top 10 percent of their high school class to a Texas public university, provides necessary diversity and educational benefits. UT President Gregory Fenves said UT’s use of race in admissions is constitutional and within the University’s best interests. The Court is expected to reach a decision on the case by the end of June.

Hall v. McRaven A state district judge dismissed a lawsuit by UT System Regent Wallace Hall on Dec. 15 that involved Hall’s attempt to access confidential admissions records. Hall said he will appeal the decision, which means the case will continue. Hall filed a lawsuit against UT System Chancellor Bill McRaven in June, after McRaven denied his request for documents in the Kroll report, which detailed cases where former UT President William Powers Jr. influenced the admissions process. McRaven cited Family Educational Rights and Privacy Acts laws as a reason for denying Hall’s request. “Where federal or state law makes confidential information that relates to a specific individual, whether it is private health information or an individual student’s protected information, it is our duty to ensure that we strictly comply with those confidentiality requirements,” McRaven said in a June statement. According to court documents, Judge Scott Jenkins did not give a written reason for dismissing the case. Because of the dismissal, Hall cannot file another suit on the controversy. In a statement released Dec. 15, McRaven said he did not think Hall should have access to confidential records but expected Hall to appeal the dismissal.

change, and they’ll be updated accordingly,” Johnson said. “At some point, there may be a University-wide committee that talks about prohibition [of hoverboards] on campus, but currently they would probably fall into a skateboard category, so you can ride them where you can ride skateboards.” Johnson said the limited availability of data on hoverboards, because of their novelty in the market, prevents the University from having an accurate idea about the devices’ safety. According to Johnson, no incidents involving hoverboard malfunctions on campus have been reported. Mechanical engineering junior John Peng said he thinks hoverboard use should be limited on campus because of possible safety issues, including the danger of new hoverboard users running into other students on campus. “I don’t think hoverboards are particularly safe for widespread use on campus because of the potential fire hazards they hold if not charged properly,” Peng said in an email. “Additionally, they may present a cause for physical hazards.” The Consumer Product Safety Commission is currently reviewing the risks to personal and property safety from hoverboard use. “There’s not an absolute interpretation that hoverboards at large are unsafe,” Kirksy said. “We’re not looking to overly restrict our students but just to make sure that they remain safe.”

Child gun deaths demand prevention efforts By Laura Hallas

Daily Texan Senior Columnist @LauraHallas

Today is Jan. 19, 2016. We are 19 days into the new year. The statement is obvious, but important nonetheless. For 19 days, we have gone about our lives. In the same 19 days, 23 children were shot. The U.S. is once again on track to have more child gun injuries or deaths than days in the year. In 2015, the total number was 692; the year before, 628. Tragedy naturally follows stories of injured or killed children, but the worst part is that many of these shootings are accidental. Texans must support gun safety through legislation and personal practice to help stop preventable deaths. Safe gun ownership, like anything else, can require expert guidance. In pediatric exams, doctors often ask about home environment, such as whether you own a pool, chemical cleaning supplies or guns. The idea is that pediatricians can help parents keep their kids safe by offering advice on how to store potentially deadly items (such as guns). However, House Bill 2823 would have Texas follow Florida’s lead in removing the g-word from doctors’ vocabularies. Pediatricians would no longer be able to ask about gun storage or give advice to parents because some feared doctors would file the information and give it to the federal government.

Of course, parents could always just ask to not talk about guns in their appointments. Doctors are uniquely placed to provide tailored advice to families. Gun safety might mean different things for someone who owns a Glock in a Dallas penthouse than a hunting rifle on a ranch. While many doctors aren’t experts in gun ownership, reinforcing the importance of parents locking up their guns can’t hurt when the life of a child is at stake. Proper healthcare requires that doctors know us on an intimate level, and our gun ownership is no exception. Making it harder for doctors to do their jobs will only increase the likelihood of child injuries and deaths. Nancy Hazen, professor of human development and family sciences, said part of the reason many young children act on their curiosity about guns despite parents’ precautions is that the consequences of guns are abstract and difficult to understand. “Most children haven’t been severely injured, and they don’t understand death; they don’t really fear anything until they have actually been hurt,” Hazen said. “They are just curious about any object that is new to them, especially things they see grown-ups do.” This means that child-focused gun programs, such as the NRA’s Eddie Eagle Gunsafe campaign, cannot be fully depended on. If disobeying their parents to touch a gun feels the same to a young child as sneaking a forbidden treat, they are much more likely to have a lapse

in judgment when it comes to guns. Personal awareness is the first line of defense for gun safety. In a column printed in The New York Times, Plan II senior Zachary Stone details his experience applying for a concealed handgun license and the definition of responsible gun ownership. “I think that understanding your limitations is a big part of that,” Stone said. “There are a lot

of these rules that most gun owners are aware of, but there are also a lot of accidental shootings.” Texas is one of the top three gun-owning states in a country that accounts for 87 percent of child gun deaths in the developed world. The state needs to ensure it has every parent and professional working together to keep kids safe. Hallas is a Plan II and human development freshman from Houston.

Public to decide threshold of hardline conservatism By Noah M. Horwitz

Daily Texan Senior Columnist @NmHorwitz

Nearly two years ago in the Texan, I lamented the arms race mentality that had permeated Republican primary politics in this state. In doing so, I examined a handful of rural districts considering whether to throw out their longtime, pragmatic Republican state representative in favor of firebrand Tea Party upstarts. (For what it’s worth, neither of the representatives examined, Byron Cook and Jim Keffer, lost in their primaries). However, I did not ask the more pressing question, one relevant to all Texans: Is there such a thing as “too extreme” for Republican primary voters? The answer is obviously yes. For example, in 2014, a man named Larry SECEDE Kilgore — he legally changed his middle name — ran in the Republican primary for governor against the eventual winner, Greg Abbott. At the time, Kilgore told me his three biggest priorities if elected were, and I quote, “SECEDE! SECEDE! SECEDE!” He told others that LGBT people should be put to death, though he measured those comments by noting he would still welcome the support of gay secessionists. Needless to say, Kilgore did not win. But Jonathan Stickland did. Readers of the Texan’s editorial pages will surely be familiar with the sophomore Republican state representative from Bedford, a suburb of Fort

Worth. Stickland’s antics this past legislative session include threatening to fight another representative and killing a bill seeking to limit the euthanasia of puppies. Still, Stickland drew a primary challenger, local pastor Scott Fisher. While it is tempting to think this demonstrates officeholders may be deemed too conservative, Fisher’s website and literature does not give that impression. In fact, it suggests that Fisher — not Stickland — is the legitimate conservative in the race. For 32-year-old Stickland, it would be rather difficult to contend he has possessed conservative value for “decades.” But the comments serve as a different kind of jab at the incumbent. Near the end of last year, Fisher’s campaign provided information regarding Stickland’s past online comments to the political site Quorum Report. The posts highlighted Stickland’s past use of marijuana. However, following more research by Quorum Report’s editor, Scott Braddock, more recent online comments show Stickland apparently endorsing marital rape. “Rape is non existent in marriage, take what you want my friend [sic],” Stickland said in now-deleted posts on a Fantasy Football forum. He was responding to a question posed by another user regarding sex advice. According to The Texas Tribune, Fisher soon jumped on this revelation as an opportunity to contend Stickland is weak on protecting the victims of sexual assault. Fisher pounded Stick-

land over his opposition to last year’s House Bill 189, which would have lengthened the statute of limitations on civil suits for such offenses. The usual actors, for their parts, have taken their place. Tea Party groups and other rightwing assortments have backed Stickland, as have his few legislative allies. But others, including law enforcement groups and former Gov. Rick Perry, have backed Fisher. Of course, the irony — Perry backing the com-

parably moderate candidate in a primary within his party — is unmistakable. Cook and Keffer were renominated, but they were in pragmatic districts. Similarly, Kilgore lost, but he was an extremist outlier. But this primary, between archconservative Jonathan Stickland and Scott Fisher, will be a true test of if, even in one of the most conservative constituencies in Texas, there is such a thing as too far.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Apply to join The Daily Texan, Women should have it all — including paid maternity leave find a new corner on campus By Leah Kashar

Daily Texan Senior Columnist @LeahKashar

While the United States is developed in many respects, such as technology and higher education, the U.S. falls behind in ensuring women have the most basic rights: to give birth to and raise their children. The United States is one of only three countries in the world that does not guarantee paid leave for new mothers. Under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, qualifying parents in the U.S. are able to receive 12 weeks off, but the time is not necessarily paid. Only 12 percent of American companies offer paid time off. By contrast, paid maternity leave for new mothers is guaranteed for qualifying mothers in France for up to 16 weeks at 100 percent of their salaries. Many other European countries offer similar benefits and have more comprehensive policies. California is one of four states with a mandatory paid leave program, under which anyone who is taking care of a newborn, foster child, adopted child or ill family member can receive six weeks of wages at a reduced level. According to the White House Council of Economic Advisors, 90 percent of people affected by California’s programs had a positive experience or saw im-

provement in their lives. Furthermore, states with paid family leave programs saw a decline in those needing public assistance. The idea that women can or cannot “have it all” should not be debated — women should be able to have both children and a career. Women cannot be fired for getting pregnant or taking legal leave, but they do not necessarily have to be paid. Living without a wage for an extended period of time is not productive in any scenario, especially when trying to raise a child. Moreover, work-life balance is improved when paid leave is offered. Single parents should not be expected to take 12 weeks off of work without pay. The alternative to paid leave is to go on welfare, which is paid for by taxpayers. Working mothers are not lacking as mothers in comparison to stay-at-home moms and should not be penalized for wanting a career. Companies that value the women they hire should want their employees to be able to have children and continue with their work. Childcare is an obstacle for many families, especially because it is not affordable. Expecting women to stay at home and take care of the kids while the husband goes to work puts society back 75 years. Working parents need flexibility. Kashar is an English freshman from Scarsdale, New York.

UT connection could benefit House candidates By Forrest Milburn @forrestmilburn

The seven candidate vying for an open state House seat include a former University Democrats president and a UT law professor, setting up a competitive race that could propel higher turnout rates among the large student population throughout the district. On March 1, voters in House District 49 — the district covering West Campus — will head to the ballot box to select a nominee to replace longtime Democratic Rep. Elliott Naishtat (D-Austin), who announced his decision not to seek reelection on Dec. 10, just days before the filing deadline. Because no Republican

filed to run, whichever candidate emerges victorious from the Democratic primary is virtually guaranteed to represent the district when the Legislature meets in 2017. Two of the seven candidates have UT ties — 2014 graduate Huey Rey Fischer — a former University Democrats president — and UT law professor Heather Way. Fischer, the only openly LGBT candidate in the field, has established a campaign platform filled with progressive causes, including tackling high college tuition rates and the student debt crisis as some of his top priorities. “I think being the reactionary party has gotten us nowhere over the past 20 years in Texas,” Fischer said. “If we want to start winning this

the regulations more closely match taxi regulations in City code.

Mandalapu, who serves on the committee, said most students understand the need for a tuition increase and argued that the low turnout at tuition feedback forums signals their tacit acceptance of higher tuition costs. The committee recommends the amount of tuition to the UT President. “If the University’s academics go down, then the value of our degrees [goes] down,” Mandalapu, a Plan II senior, said. “I think a lot of students see it as something that really stinks, but given the situation right now, we’re in a situation

In an early show of support, Hinojosa has already been endorsed by more than 200 organizations and local Democratic groups, including the Texas State Teachers

where our backs are against the wall.” The proposed increase is the first time tuition has risen since 2011. From 2003 to 2013, tuition rose by 80 percent, according to an analysis by the Texas Tribune. Government sophomore Jennell Benson said if the proposition goes through, it will personally affect her as well as other students using financial aid. “I have to pull out more financial aid and more subsidized and unsubsidized loans,” Benson said. “This is something that needs to be talked about statewide and country-wide.” Trish Manor, associate

director for the financial aid office, said financial aid administrators were not sure if they would be able to cover the tuition increase for students who receive financial aid because the University and the state have not allocated money to the financial aid office yet. She said many students do not take out the maximum amount of loans offered because they want to reduce their debt load. “The bottom line is: We’ll use whatever available funding we have,” Manor said. “If there’s no increase in grant funding, we’ll have to go with what we have.” Even as Mandalapu

defended the tuition increase, he said more work needed to be done to minimize the financial burden on students. He said the next Student Government leaders should work with elected officials to reduce the impact of tuition on students during the next legislative session. “The next administration is really important if they want to start a conversation about how money is appropriated to public universities,” Mandalapu added. “They will be there when the legislature is starting. That’s the important time to discuss issues related to higher education.”

Texas falls just short of another title By Michael Shapiro

NCAAM OKLAHOMA

Seniors Kat Brooks, left, Amy Neal and Molly McCage fight back tears after falling to Nebraska in the NCAA championship match Dec. 19. The senior class reached the Final Four all four years.

@mshap2

The Longhorns exited the court on Dec. 19 with their heads hung low. As streamers fell from the rafters of the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska, Texas knew another year had passed without a national title. After a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Nebraska in the national championship game, the memory of the Longhorns’ 2012 title seemed more and more distant. But 2015 was far from a failed season for Texas. Despite the loss to Nebraska, the Longhorns achieved another Big 12 title and another Final Four appearance — both with an air of camaraderie and togetherness unseen from past Texas teams. “It’s a tribute to the young women that are in this program,” head coach Jerritt Elliott said prior to the national title game. “Their unity and will to play for each other really stood out to me. It’s a special group.” The Longhorns entered the 2015 season under the weight of familiar expectations. They came into the year sporting four consecutive Big 12 titles and three-straight runs to the Final Four. As is now customary on the Forty Acres, the talk around the Longhorns was championship or bust. “We expect to be in that position every year,” Elliott said. “We want to put ourselves in a position where we can contend for Final Fours. That’s the culture we’ve tried to create here.”

But expectations of a title run were met with caution early in the season. Texas’ 2015 roster was without some key pieces from the 2014 team, most notably outside hitter Haley Eckerman. Eckerman left the Longhorns program as one of the most decorated — and dominant — players in program history, racking up three First-Team All-American honors during her time in Austin. “Haley was a great player here and a great leader for us,” junior middle blocker Chiaka Ogbogu said in a preseason interview. “But it’s up to us to come and make up for her loss. It’s on everyone.” It quickly became evident

that making up for Eckerman’s departure would not be a onewoman effort. The 2015 season saw an increase in production throughout much of the Longhorns squad, specifically from senior Amy Neal. Neal, an outside hitter from Austin, took charge as Texas’ most potent offensive threat. Her combination of pinpoint execution and heady play more than made up for Eckerman’s absence, as she was named Big 12 Player of the Year. Texas’ regular season acted as a formality. The Longhorns steamrolled its way through Big 12 play once again, earning a 15-1 conference record en route to a fifth consecutive Big

12 championship. They hit their stride entering the NCAA tournament, and comfortable defeats over Fairfield and Purdue in the opening two rounds only solidified the Longhorns as championship contenders. Following a marathon five-set victory over Florida in the Elite 8, they headed to Omaha to participate in a fourth-straight Final Four. But Texas couldn’t complete the title chase. A raucous proNebraska crowd, combined with the stifling Cornhuskers defense shut down Texas’ potent attack in the championship game, reducing the Longhorns to a shadow of their highflying selves. Another year

in Austin passed by with no national championship. “I’m disappointed for our team,” Elliott said postgame. “They fought all year but just couldn’t get it going tonight.” But despite the lack of hardware, 2015 was far from a failure for Texas volleyball. A Final Four appearance is a notable accomplishment in itself, even more so when it happens nearly every year. The Elliott machine seems to run itself at this point, no matter which six players are on the court. “We’ve set a standard at this program,” Elliott said. “We expect to be in a position to compete for a championship every year.”

Senior center Imani Boyette put the ball off the glass and through the basket to cut Baylor’s lead to 70-64 with 2:00 minutes left — Texas’ smallest deficit since early in the second quarter. But No. 6 Baylor responded by ending the game on a 10-3 run — reminiscent of the way the Bears played for most of the game — handing the Longhorns their first loss of the season, 80-67. Texas opened the game with a three from sophomore guard Brooke McCarty. The No. 4 Longhorns built a 16-9 lead late in the first quarter, but it wouldn’t last long.

Junior guard Isaiah Taylor stepped to the free-throw line with just a three-point lead. The Longhorns had led by as many as 23 points 15 minutes prior, but cold shooting allowed Oklahoma State to get back to within 20. Then 15. Then 10. And now, three. But Taylor hit the first of four free throws he would take in the waning seconds to seal a 74-69 win for the Longhorns on Saturday. “It’s something we’ve got to learn from because if we do that on the road, it might be a different story,” senior forward Connor Lammert said. Just days after knocking down 13 3-pointers, Texas began the game missing each of its first five 3-pointers and scoring just two points in the first four minutes against the Cowboys. But the funk wouldn’t last for long. Lammert hit a 3-pointer,

Meanwhile, the Longhorns’ defense remained steady throughout the half, holding the Cowboys to 34.6 percent shooting from the floor and just 25 percent from the behind the arc. “We just banded together,” Taylor said. “We got a couple of stops on the defensive end. We translated that into offense.” But it nearly fell apart at the end. After taking a 23-point lead with 15 minutes to go, the Longhorns couldn’t get anything to fall.

The Longhorn women’s tennis team’s time in Coral Gables was marked by struggles both with their opponents and the weather. All of Friday’s matches of the Miami Spring Invite were canceled because of rain, while most of the women’s tennis tournament’s matches were delayed on Saturday. Texas took on Ole Miss once tournament play finally started. Senior Breaunna Addison defeated Ole Miss sophomore Natalie Suk 6-1, 6-1. Sophomore Dani Wagland also brought home a win, edging Ole Miss freshman Tea Jandric by a 6-1, 6-1 count. Senior Lana Groenvynck, junior Neda Koprcina and freshman Chelsea Crovetti Crovetti all lost their matches. The Longhorns then faced Vanderbilt in singles play. Addison was the only one to bring home a win, beating junior Sydney Campbell 6-3, 5-7, 1-0. In doubles competition, Addison and Wagland teamed up against Ole Miss senior Mai El Kamash and sophomore Arianne Hartono and lost 6-3. Groenvynck and Koprcina also paired up and were defeated 6-1 against Ole Miss’ Suk and freshman Allie Sanford. Addison and Wagland snagged a 7-5 win against Miami senior Stephanie Wagner and sophomore Wendy Zhang as the Longhorns wrapped up competition on Sunday.

Mixed bag for Texas over break By Daniel Clay @dclay567

Texas students have, until today, been freed from the bonds of schoolwork for almost a month. Texas athletics, however, continued to make headlines while the rest of the student body was catching up on sleep. Here’s what you might have missed during the past six weeks. Volleyball falls just short of national title While everyone else was frantically scrambling for last-minute gifts, Texas volleyball was busy reasserting its position as the most successful Longhorn sports program in recent history. Texas rode a seven-game winning streak to finish the regular season ranked No. 3 in the country and cruised into the finals of the NCAA Championship tournament against Nebraska. But 11-kill efforts from All-American junior Paulina Prieto Cerame and freshman Yaasmeen BedartGhani were not enough to

continues from page 6 to find a way back into the game. Oklahoma State hit five 3-pointers and shot 39.5 percent as the deficit began to dwindle. “We hit a little bit of a low where we weren’t guarding with the same tenacity and energy,” head coach Shaka Smart said. “Then [the Cowboys] went zone on us, and we got a little stagnant on offense.” But time turned out to be on the Longhorns’ side. Texas forced just enough missed shots and hit 8-of-10 free throws down the stretch to game onto the win. Taylor said they “didn’t drop their heads” as the Cowboys closed the gap.

bring home a championship. Texas fell 3-0 to the No. 4 Cornhuskers and will have to wait another year to light up the tower with a No. 1. Men’s basketball faces ups, downs On the hardwood at the Erwin Center, the Texas men’s basketball team upset then-No. 3 North Carolina thanks to a split-second buzzer beater by senior guard Javan Felix, and then came back to pull out a threepoint win over then-No. 17 Iowa State. But the Longhorns’ success was stymied by the loss of senior center Cameron Ridley, who broke his foot in practice in late December. That, along with road losses to Texas Tech and TCU, have put a damper on the otherwise successful winter break for new head coach Shaka Smart and his Longhorns. Texas swimmers find success over break The top-ranked men’s swimmers had argubly the “Coach told us to stay engaged and stay poised as a team,” Taylor said. The win puts the Longhorns above .500 in conference play for the first time this season. Texas previously posted wins at home against Iowa State and Kansas but dropped road games at Texas Tech and TCU. The schedule only gets harder for the Longhorns. Texas heads on the road to face West Virginia on Wednesday and Kansas on Saturday, where the team is just 1-5 over the last three seasons. But Taylor said he’s excited for these games away from Austin. “Playing on the road is fun,” Taylor said. “There’s excitement on the road. Everyone’s against you. All you have is your team.”

most successful break. All-American junior Jack Conger turned in a winning performance in the 200-yard butterfly, an event in which he holds the American record, to help propel the Longhorns over No. 8 Auburn, while freshman Townley Hass’ two wins in the 500 and 200 freestyle helped Texas edge the No. 3 Bulldogs and set its sights upon repeating as national champions. Strong makes changes to offensive staff Arguably the biggest change of the break though, came from a team that played just once in December. Texas football has seen a bit of a coaching shakeup since it failed to qualify for a bowl game. Head coach Charlie Strong fired former offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson. An offense that finished 2015 ranked 92nd in the nation in total yards combined with Watson’s inability to develop highly touted quarterback prospects

Arguably the biggest change of the break though, came from a team that played just once in December. Texas football has seen a bit of a coaching shakeup since it failed to qualify for a bowl game. Tyrone Swoopes and Jerrod Heard led to the downfall of the former crowned jewel of Strong’s staff. Strong named Tulsa offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert, who honed his craft under Baylor coach Art Briles, as Watson’s replacement, but it remains to be seen whether new coaching rather than new quarterbacks is the solution Texas football needs to match the elite success of the rest of the Longhorn athletic program.

McCarty played 27 minutes but also had to sit much of the first half with two fouls. Baylor led 58-42 with 1:41 left in the third quarter before McCarty drilled a corner three. She secured a defensive rebound on Baylor’s next possession and found senior guard Empress Davenport for a layup plus a foul to make the score 58-48.

We don’t think of it [as] big or small — it’s just another game.” The loss also stops Texas’ undefeated run through Big 12 play. The Longhorns started their conference schedule 5-0 for the first time since 2003. Boyette said although it stings to lose to Baylor at home, she isn’t interested in the Bears anymore.

Two albums to listen to: Punk rock finds voice in Dead Kennedys, DFA By Chris Duncan @chr_dunc

New York based band PWR BTTM speaks honestly about sexuality and gender on their debut LP.

New artists on the rise in 2016 By Katie Walsh @katiehwalsh_atx

As classes commence and we settle back into old routines, spice up your first week of school with these four up-and-coming artists to watch in 2016. After leaving indie rock group The Hush Sound, in which she sang and played the piano, Greta Morgan started her indie pop solo project, Springtime Carnivore, in 2014. Morgan’s echoey vocals drip with warmth and sentiment in “Two Scars” and “Find A New Game,” while “Collectors” and “Name on a Matchbook” bring a bouncy, upbeat vibe to her 14-track debut. According to Springtime Carnivore’s Facebook page, Morgan is wrapping up on a second album with an unknown release date. Artists you might like:

PANIC!

continues from page 11 redeeming qualities in their sound. With lead singer Brendon Urie at the helm, these debates will likely continue as Death of a Bachelor deviates very little from Panic’s signature style, creating a more modernized version of the group’s sound. The two standout moments of the record are oddly the most out of place. Urie channels his inner Frank Sinatra during the album’s title track and “Impossible Year,” crooning as if he were in the swing era. Although this style definitely isn’t something a listener would expect to hear from Urie, it still helps create a couple of entertaining and impressive songs. Aside from these two songs, Urie has sporadic breakout moments with his vocals or lyrics, but nothing in particular stands out. Most songs are textbook bubble gum pop with some extra guitar moments and emoesque lyrics, just so the songs can be classified as something other than pop music. “Crazy=Genius” sounds like

Alvvays, Best Coast, Feist Based out of Bard College in upstate New York, queer punk band PWR BTTM hit the music scene in 2014 with EP Cinderella Beauty Shop. A year later, the duo put out 11-track LP Ugly Cherries, which got the attention of NPR’s All Songs Considered podcast and won the duo a glowingly positive review from Pitchfork. With lyrics such as “I want a boy who thinks it’s sexy when my lipstick bleeds / I want a boy who can go all night without stopping / I want a boy knows exactly what he needs,” PWR BTTM’s lyrics speak honestly about sexuality, growing up and gender identity. Artists you might like: Pansy Division, Limp Wrist, The White Stripes Synth-pop duo Marian Hill released their debut album Sway last summer it could have been on any of Panic’s previous albums and will likely please fans with some tricky sampling and intriguing lyrics to make it a fun and notable song, but the next track, “LA Devotee,” has almost no enduring impact because of how bland it sounds in comparison. In terms of production, very few risks are taken, if any at all. The entire middle of the album, from the album’s third track, “Hallelujah,” to its eighth, “Golden Days,” becomes a blur after one listen, with each song blending into another due to extremely bland songwriting and dynamics. Occasionally, Urie attempts to do something different with a track’s composition, adding an array of shrill digital effects to jazz up songs. Death of a Bachelor’s lead track and second single, “Victorious,” is playful but incessantly annoying with its shrill auto-tuned vocals during the chorus. Even worse are the track’s lyrics, which include lines such as “skin as cool as Steve McQueen,” and “eyes like broken Christmas lights.” During the same song, Urie sings about how a

Artists you might like: Lorde, Sylvan Esso, Broods After reaching relative fame in their homeland of Iceland, indie rock band Kaleo moved to Austin after signing with Atlantic Records. The group performed at South by Southwest, garnering considerable press from Esquire and NPR for their three released singles, and are currently touring around the country, hitting several notable music festivals. Artists you will like: James Bay, Bon Iver, Vance Joy

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables – The Dead Kennedys After their breakout performance on the Bay Area Music Awards, the Dead Kennedys quickly became the biggest name in western punk with their strong leftwing political statements and Jello Biafra’s distinct voice. Their debut album, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, established the American punk scene, founded on loud guitars and drums, accompanied with spat-out lyrics that attack anything from heroin junkies to money-obsessed

individuals. In no way is this record subtle — in fact, it climbs down your throat with its vicious sarcasm and unwavering aggression. Tracks to listen to: “Kill the Poor,” “California Über Alles,” “Holiday in Cambodia” You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine – Death From Above 1979 When Death From Above 1979 formed in 2001, very few duos existed in the mainstream, but the beauty of DFA is in the duo — the fact that two people can make such a large and empowering noise is perplexing. With Sebastien Grainger’s frantic vocals and exhilarating drumming and Jesse F. Keeler’s overdriven

bass lines, the band’s debut album You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine contains a steady dose of punk rock hits. In this 30-minute album, Keeler’s bass guitar plays both roles during different points in each song, ensuring that any guitar riffs are not missed. After the massive success of their first album, DFA toured relentlessly, contributing to their eventual personal and creative differences and an abrupt breakup. When the group returned in 2011, fans hadn’t forgotten their energy. The band faced soldout shows, people scalping tickets for hundreds of dollars and even a riot at their 2011 South by Southwest festival performance.

character is “livin’ like a washed up celebrity,” during a party. It’s hard to tell if he’s is making up this person or if he’s actually talking about himself. The obvious truth is that, although Urie might be creating music similar to Panic! At The Disco’s style, he is using the group’s name to help get attention for releases and shows. Whether that sales tactic will work should become apparent soon. However, for anyone who’s heard a Panic! At The Disco album before, there’s little new to experience here. Longtime listeners of the group should definitely buy the album, but beyond that audience, Death of a Bachelor falls flat.

Campus resources give students fresh start By Megan Hix @meganhix95

While most students are familiar with the cramming and stress of finals or midterms, few capitalize on the fresh start offered each time a new semester rolls around. This spring, ditch the bad habits by taking advantage of these UT resources for a productive, stress-free semester. One major component of a successful semester is learning to manage time early on, Sanger Learning Center director Michelle Jewell said. Before getting weighed down by your assignments, Jewell said it’s important to get organized. “There’s not a single person who doesn’t struggle to make enough time,” Jewell said. “Read your syllabi, make a deadline calendar, arrange when your projects are due, reverse engineer how many hours you’ll have to put in to meet deadlines — no one should write a paper overnight.” Sanger Learning Center offers workshops on everything from time management and study techniques to GRE prep classes. This semester, Jewell said workshops on succeeding in online classes will be added to the mix. Workshops and tutoring begin Jan. 25. “Talk to your professor about your first assignments if you don’t know what they mean [on the syllabus],” Jewell said. “The worst thing you can do in those early weeks is be shy about asking for help or refreshing yourself on the basics.” UT career counselor Lynn Chang said it’s never too early in one’s

college career to utilize the University’s career services. Specialists can help answer questions about what careers fit each major and even help secure first jobs for those about to graduate. “The most important thing to do is explore, explore, explore beyond your major,” Chang said. “If you’re interested in one thing, get

really involved in that one thing. That means not just classes but maybe joining an organization or getting involved in the community. Think about how to use your time to highlight who you are.” Whether students are looking for a part-time job or need help polishing a resume, Chang said UT offers forms of help, such

as job and internship database hireutexas.edu or resume workshops and mock interview setups. Katy Redd, the assistant director for prevention and outreach at UT’s Counseling and Mental Health Center, said that with so much going on in students’ lives, it’s crucial to manage stress and the beginning of the semester is a perfect time to

students include things such as exercise and social interactions in their schedules to help reduce stress.

With all but one member of the group leaving, Panic! At The Disco is a shell of the four-piece rock outfit that used to dominate radio stations across the country. In the release of their new record, Death of a Bachelor, Brendon Urie shows his lust for the past, tweaking the band’s notoriously upbeat style as little as possible. Panic! At The Disco has always been a highly debated group. While some fans believed the group defined midto late-2000s trends through their incorporation of synths and drum machines into emo and pop rock, others found few
