New SG initiatives promote accessibility, inclusivity

Putting the brakes on scooters

By Hannah Ortega @_hannahortega_

In an effort to make Student Government more inclusive and accessible, they have established reflection spaces, opened Longhorn Legislative Aides to transfer students and begun planning new election programming. “We have an abundance of resources and opportunities in this organization, and we wanted to make sure students could take a more active role in utilizing those resources,” Student Body President Colton Becker said in an email. “We want members of our organization to feel like they do have the capacity to make change, and we’ve made an effort to ensure they have the tools they need to do so.” Communications director Sarah Boatwright said the SG Executive Board revitalized their website and increased social media usage to eradicate “information barriers” between students and SG members. She also said development for new election initiatives is underway. “Our efforts to make opportunities more available also dips into reformatting the election process,” Boatwright said in an email. “Members of the executive staff have been working on a workshop for students interested in running for student body president and vice president to attend. Workshops for their campaign members are also in the works. We’re hoping that going forward, more students will feel prepared and excited to tackle the SG elections, rather than ambivalent or intimidated.” SG’s first-year student program Longhorn Legislative Aides will now accept transfer students. The decision came after complaints from transfer students and a realization

UT’s Parking and Transportation Services have painted parking spaces for electric scooters and are reviewing plans to decrease their speed limits for around 15 mph to 8 mph.

Campus dockless scooters face parking boxes, lower speed limits. By Jackson Barton @Jackson_Brton

etting to class on a dockless electric scooter could soon take almost twice as long due to new policies outlined in a campus-wide email. Based on recommendations made by a campus work

group, an email from Parking and Transportation Services includes new policies such as immediate impoundment for scooters parked along Speedway, in front of pedestrian walkways and blocking wheelchair ramps. PTS Assistant Director Blanca Gamez said the department will begin impounding improperly parked scooters on Monday. PTS will also be painting 10 new scooter parking boxes around campus, according to the email. “In the meantime, this is giving (PTS) plenty of time to go back and retouch a lot of those parking boxes that we added in the fall semester,” Gamez said. “Because of the rain, a lot of them have disappeared.” Gamez said the parking boxes will be similar to the

scooter parking area outside of Jester Center near the B-Cycle station. In addition to new parking rules, PTS is working with electric scooter providers to mechanically limit scooter speeds on campus to 8 mph. “All of (the scooter providers) have the technology to be able to govern their scooters down to 8 mph,” Gamez said. “There are already municipalities as well as universities that have their scooters governed down to that.” Currently, Lime scooters are limited to 14.8 mph, according to the company’s website. Lyft scooters can speed up to 15 mph, according to their website. PTS spokesperson Olga Finneran said in an email the recommendations in the campus-wide email are being

reviewed by campus leadership. She said there is no set date for a new speed limit to go into effect. “We intend to work with the commercial scooter operators to ensure that they implement the proper technology that governs speed based on location,” Finneran said. “Moving forward, this will be a condition for accepting permit applications for on-campus commercial scooter operations.” If a scooter is impounded, PTS will charge the scooter company $150. Whether the fine will be passed down to riders depends on which company was fined. Sam Sadle, Lime director of government relations and strategic development, said

New degree might improve health care

Updated MyUT mobile app hopes to make class schedules, Canvas more accessible

By Tien Nguyen @tienjpg

A new one-year master’s program at UT seeks to spearhead change in health delivery and create high-value services in health care. The Master of Science in Health Care Transformation program, a joint project between Dell Medical School and the McCombs School of Business, is currently accepting applicants for the class of 2020. The program, which will be managed by the Value Institute for Health and Care, marks the University’s first joint degree program, said Scott Wallace, managing director of the Value Institute. “There is a current need for a transformation in health care that is focused on providing services that are effective at improving the health of the patient,” Wallace said. “If you design the care around the needs of the people,

their health improves significantly and the cost of that care goes down.” The MSHCT degree curriculum consists of 11 courses, including eight lecture-based courses and three courses focusing on a major team-based project, according to the program’s website. “There is no program in existence anywhere in the world with the focus on equipping people with skills to lead the value transformation in health care,” Wallace said. Alice Andrews, director of education at the Value Institute, said the focus on value in health care is what makes the program so unique. “Much of the work out there focuses on the cost side,” Andrews said. “We strongly believe it’s important to make services less expensive and efficient, but if that’s all you’re focused on, and you’re not actually delivering health care

An app version of the University’s MyUT online portal is now available for students to download. Like the portal website, the MyUT Austin app allows students to access class schedules, Canvas and other campus-related information. Since its release last Thursday, the app has been downloaded more than 12,000 times, said Carolyn Connerat, chair of the MyUT Implementation Committee. “We know that students are very focused on having a mobile device, so we always intended when we launched the website in 2016 that we would develop a phone app,” Connerat said. “We’re very excited that this has finally launched.” Connerat said the app has been in the works for about a year and includes the aspects of the MyUT website accessed most by students. Upon opening the app, there are five tabs at the bottom of the screen. The first displays a student’s class schedule, the second shows a list of Canvas courses and the third is a ‘home’ tab that

displays links to information such as financial aid and transportation information. Another tab, Important Info, displays information such as what a student owes to UT and displays any registration bars. The last tab links to a University map in a web browser. Before the MyUT Austin app, there was a University app that included UT directories, maps and information about athletics, Connerat said. Last summer, the app was replaced with an app just for Texas Athletics. “We decided that it would make more sense to have two (apps) — one that is really tied into MyUT, which is focused on the services and resources that students need, and then athletics would have their app which would be much more focused on the fan experience,” Connerat said. Biology freshman Trazy Villatoro said she had downloaded the old UT app but deleted it because it had more sports-related content than academic information. She said the schedule tab on the MyUT Austin app has been helpful.

Biology sophomore Breanna Ellis budgets tightly to make sure she can pay for her college education. Sometimes, that means there’s little money left over for food. “I try to keep spending as low as possible because it’s going to matter when I’m paying back loans,” Ellis said. “I have to say no to a lot of social events because I really do keep track of the money I’m spending.” One resource available to students experiencing food insecurity is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the largest food assistance program in the U.S. However, a report released by the United States Government Accountability Office in December found that 57 percent of eligible students did not receive SNAP benefits in 2016. Ellis is not one of those students because she ineligible for SNAP. SNAP provides food stamps to help households afford meals. Traditional students who are dependent on their parents for income are broadly ineligible to apply for SNAP, but 71 percent of America’s college population are nontraditional students, financially independent, working full-time or have other financial constraints, according to a 2013 report from the U.S. Department of Education. These students could be eligible for SNAP benefits. The report listed a lack of information on food assistance programs and eligibility restrictions as barriers that prevented students from accessing SNAP benefits. “The issue of hunger in college students is an important and timely topic,

but it’s one that is handled at the institutional level,” said Karen Adler, UT System media relations director, in an email. “All UT academic institutions are working to ensure students’ basic needs are met though on-campus food, clothing and household item pantries.” Roughly 1 out of 4 UT students struggle to afford food, according to Student Emergency Services. Between the 2015– 16 and 2016–17 school years, Student Emergency Services saw a 28 percent increase in the number of students helped with food-related needs.

This spring, UT’s on-campus pantry UT Outpost has expanded its hours of operation to accommodate more students. Since it opened last spring, the Outpost has provided roughly 3,500 meals to students in need, said Kelly Soucy, director of Student Emergency Services. The campus food pantry is available to all students, regardless of financial status. The only requirement to receive the 20 pounds of food provided by the pantry is to be a student. It is located in the UA9 building on campus.

“We doubled our hours this semester because we want to make accessing the Outpost as easy as possible,” Soucy said. Ellis said she supplements her small grocery budget with the UT Outpost when needed, but believes it is underutilized because students are unaware of it. “There are a lot of students on our campus that may think, ‘I don’t need this type of service, I have friends who are struggling worse than I am,’ or something along those lines, but this program is truly for any and all students,” Soucy said. “We all have our rough moments.”

Senator proposes bill to repeal penal code for same-sex conduct In 2009, an El Paso police officer threatened to arrest two men who kissed in a public restaurant, citing the Texas penal code, which lists “homosexual conduct” as a misdemeanor. This year, Rep. Joe Moody, D-El Paso, filed House Bill 84, which would strike that clause from the penal code and repeal the offense of homosexual conduct. “It’s unconstitutional and unenforceable, but when we leave it on the books, it creates the opportunity for situations like the one that we experienced in El Paso,” Moody said. The clause, also called the “sodomy statute,” is unenforceable because of the Supreme Court’s 2003 decision in Lawrence v. Texas, which determined the clause is unconstitutional because it violates a right to privacy under the due process clause. While there may still be opposition to LGBTQ equality in the Texas Legislature, Moody said HB 84 would not change any laws substantively. Rather, it would just bring the Texas penal code up to date. “The only justification that I can think of for someone to not be for (HB 84) is if they themselves feel that (homosexual

conduct) should still be against the law,” Moody said. “So we have to keep pushing bills like this and keep moving this conversation. Otherwise we’ll never achieve true equality in the state of Texas.” Lisa Moore, director of UT’s LGBTQ Studies program, said removing the offense of homosexual conduct from the penal code is an important step for protecting Texans’ rights. “In practical terms, as long as it remains on the books, all it takes is a new Supreme Court decision to make sex

between consenting (LGBTQ) adults criminal again,” Moore said in an email. “HB 84 is very important because it takes away the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of LGBTQ Texans, who never know when it might be invoked to take away their rights.” Moore said she is not a stranger to being discriminated against for being gay. When she applied for tenure in 1997, a professor on the Promotion and Tenure Committee tried to discourage her promotion because of her sexuality. Moore

did not want to name the professor. “He tried to persuade the (committee) not to promote me, despite my strong record of teaching, publication and service, because, as a self-declared lesbian, I was a ‘known felon,’” Moore said. “He was referring to the sodomy statute. He was able to convince several members of the (committee) to vote against me on the grounds that it would harm the University’s reputation to promote me just because of who I am.” Sociology graduate student Erika Slaymaker said while the sodomy statute may be unenforceable, it reflects the homophobia of the state of Texas. “It contributes to cultures of fear and violence in the state, and we know that law enforcement does sometimes use it against people,” Slaymaker said. “It’s part of a larger anti-LGBT context.” Ian McEntee, humanities and sociology senior, said Texas needs to catch up to other states on LGBTQ equality. “As a queer student, it is unsettling that it has taken the state of Texas this long to take a stand and strike a law that is unenforceable and based on a vehement hatred of a certain group of people,” McEntee said. “I think it’s time to take the stance that queer people are valid.” Moody says that is the stance he’s taking with HB 84. “This is about equality and doing what’s right,” Moody said.

that the program’s success was connected to the ability of all first-year students to apply, said Mehraz Rahman, student body vice president, in an email. Along with changes to government-centered policies, SG established reflection spaces where students can pray or meditate. The spaces are located in the Perry–Castañeda Library and the Union, and a proposal for a third space in the North Campus area is under administrative review. Rahman said many Muslim students have wanted spaces ever since the old electrical engineering building was demolished and rebuilt without a reflection space. “(The demolition is) what sparked the need for a reflection space in the engineering area of campus and what moved many students to spend their time the past few years advocating for the creation of one,” Rahman said in an email. “This is something that many Muslim students have been working on for the past few years, including me, many members of the Muslim Students’ Association and

“One of the main phrases we use to describe Student Government is that it is the ‘official voice of the student body,’” Rahman said in an email. “We advocate on

behalf of the student body to the UT administration, the Texas State Legislature and even the Federal Government. If the voice we’re trying to uplift and represent to

these entities isn’t as accessible and inclusive as possible, then we are not truly representing the interests of the entire student body in our advocacy.”

Wendy Davis asks students to help in Title IX fight By Grace Dickens @dickensgrace

Former Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis spoke to the Austin community on Wednesday asking students to share their opinion on changes possibly coming to Title IX, the federal law protecting students from sex-based discrimination. U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has proposed changes to Title IX, a section of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, that would allow victims to be cross-examined by their alleged abusers and create a higher standard of evidence for sexual assault cases. But there are downfalls to the revisions, Davis said. “We understand all too well how issues of gender bias can create a lifelong impact in someone’s ability to realize their full potential,” Davis said. “Everything we do currently that creates obstacles to that equity needs to be undone.” A period for public comment on the proposed revisions began in November, and lasts until Monday, Jan. 28. This system, called the notice-and-comment process, gives individuals and organizations the opportunity to share their opinions with lawmakers on proposed changes to federal policy, according to the U.S. Department of Education. “I can say from experience that when a young person brings their voice forward, it’s different,” Davis said. “It’s not one politically motivated or based on partisanship. It will be a wake-up call for (legislators), and it really will make a difference.” UT Students for Planned Parenthood and It’s On Us, an Obama-era campaign fighting sexual assault, organized the event at WeWork University Park.

was joined by Sage Carson, manager of Know Your IX, and Kate Cartagena, a program manager at Planned Parenthood. Ashley Deñó, UT Students for Planned Parenthood campus campaign manager, said she finds the proposed changes to Title IX harmful because she believes this change would further traumatize victims.

“Given the high rates of sexual assaults, anyone can be a victim,” Deñó said. “These changes don’t keep victims in mind. My main thing is to make sure you know your voice is heard.” Nadia Zaidi, biology and philosophy senior, is a member of the Interpersonal Violence Peer Support program at UT and

said she sees the value of supporting victims of sexual violence. “I am interested in the health of the student body and I know firsthand how important it is to have these resources available for students,” Zaidi said. “As a student, as a human and as a woman, I know we need to raise hell.”

Connerat said a major feature of the app is users only need to log in once, whereas the website version asks the user to log in again after an hour of inactivity. Electrical engineering junior Ryan McCray said

while there are a few things he would like to see improved on the app, such as the website links and the page formats, he thinks it’s a more user-friendly version of the website. “Anything that helps students access the information they need quickly is a good thing,” McCray said. The app is available for iOS and Android devices and is free to download.

Students deserve more information about hazing

UT needs to release specific details about hazing incidents. By The Daily Texan Editorial Board Nicholas Cumberland died in November after a car crash on the way home from a Texas Cowboys initiation retreat. After his death, Cumberland’s parents heard disturbing reports of hazing that weekend. According to Cumberland’s parents, pledges at the retreat experienced a weekend of drinking and were deprived of sleep before driving home at 4 a.m. According to Cumberland’s family, the weekend left welts on their son’s body that were still visible when he died. Every student knows hazing takes place at UT. The University sends all of us an email once a semester with the subject line “Texas hazing statute summary and the University of Texas at Austin hazing regulations.” The email contains the school’s hazing memorandum, including a list of organizations that have been penalized for hazing and how long their disciplinary status will last. The memorandum does not provide any details about what the group did to deserve censure for hazing. According to Sara Kennedy, director of strategic and executive communications for the Office of the Dean of Students, the Office maintains a website with more descriptions about penalized organizations, but they don’t send this information out to students. While the website includes details about the specific type of hazing conducted, it uses vague terms such as “Physical Brutality” and “Calisthenics.” Students tend to discover substantial details about hazing incidents only when a situation is critical, and this information paints a very different picture than the sterile language in UT’s official report. Freshman Jack Phoummarath died after drinking between four and six bottles of liquor at Lambda Phi Epsilon in 2005. In 2006, Tyler Cross, a freshman pledging the now-disbanded UT chapter of Sigma

Alpha Epsilon, fell to his death from a fifth floor balcony after sleep deprivation and coerced alcohol consumption. According to the Cumberlands, at the Cowboys retreat prior to their son’s death, a pledge was forced to bite the head off a live hamster. If the University’s memorandum included the events the Cumberland family said took place at the Cowboys retreat, it would likely refer to them as “Physical Brutality,” “Consumption of Food/Liquid/Alcohol” and “Mental Health Threat.” The language used in the University’s official communication with

By using sterile and nondescriptive language, UT separates the hazing it tells students about from the hazing that kills students.”

students is vague to the point of uselessness. Given the extent to which some groups take hazing, students — and their parents — deserve more information when deciding whether or not to join an organization. Students and parents need to understand the specific dangers of an organization before joining, and this danger cannot be conveyed in vague definitions. Without transparent communication, students unknowingly risk physical and mental abuse in search of a community. Most UT students know hazing happens — we all got the email — but few of us understand exactly what that means. While most schools like UT release nearly the same amount of information on hazing incidents, some private schools

have set a new standard for transparency. Despite being confined by the same federal guidelines for protecting students’ privacy, schools such as Cornell release substantial details about hazing when an organization is censured. On a website dedicated to hazing, a list of sanctioned organizations contains a detailed summary of the activities which led to their punishment. Details like these provide crucial insight into the realities of hazing on college campuses. Less hazing involves physical abuse or violence — much of the damage inflicted on victims of hazing is mental. But mental abuse is impossible to communicate through clinical definitions. Cornell’s description of a group giving new members “the choice of either smoking or eating a cigarette” reads very differently than “Consumption of Food/Liquid/Alcohol,” as UT would label it. By using sterile and nondescriptive language, UT separates the hazing it tells students about from the hazing that kills students. “Physical Brutality” carries different weight than “(applying) Icy Hot to their genitals.” “Alcohol Consumption” isn’t the same as forcing a student to drink “15 shots in less than an hour.” UT already sends out a mass email about what groups are censured — it’s required to do this by law. UT already maintains a website with details about the types of hazing involved in these censures. This is a step in the right direction. But in order to give students the information they need to make informed choices, UT needs to take another step forward. Tell us what happened. Send it to us with the hazing memorandum. Student orgs are a critical part of the UT experience. For some students, so is hazing. UT needs to provide students with the information they need to make the right choices when joining an organization. It’s possible, it’s legal and it may even be easy. All we need to do is prioritize it. Hazing isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The least we can do is be open about it.

Q&A

UT alumna discusses experience on ‘Titan Games’ By Trent Thompson @TrentThompsonUT

UT sociology alumna Ashley Huhn (‘12) takes the bull by the horns competing in NBC’s new show “Titan Games,” inspired and hosted by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Everyday individuals compete in grueling athletic contests that push the boundaries of emotional and physical strain in this new hit NBC show. Each contestant competes against one of the original team of six elite Titans and fends off competitors after securing their spot as the next Titan. The Daily Texan had a chance to speak with Huhn about joining the show, competing and its impact on her “normal life” after her episode aired Jan. 17.

The

Daily

Texan:

What inspired you to enter the contest?

Ashley Huhn: My sixth graders heard me say NBC and “The Rock” in the same sentence. I was standing in my classroom with them when I got the call from LA in February. They were working on some group project, and I remember after I answered and said “Who with NBC? The Rock?” pencils dropped and my kids erupted. I promised them that I would do it for them. DT: What kept you going when you felt challenged while you were preparing for the contest and competing? AH: Probably two of the strongest motivations is, one, I’m adopted from birth. My biological mom (was) diagnosed with stage four breast cancer right before I got that phone call from LA to compete in the show. The timing of that call and her diagnosis allowed me to thank her. I wanted her to know that the decision she made almost 29 years

ago to give me up for adoption to the most incredible set of parents I could’ve ever dreamt of was not the wrong decision. My other motivation was I promised my grandmother that I’d score for her in my first soccer game during senior year of high school, and those were my last words I ever spoke to her. I ended up getting hurt and didn’t score, so it was then my mission to make that up to her for the rest of my life. DT: How has this contest impacted your life and what have you gotten out of it? AH: I’ve got the most amazing platform to be able to tell my story and get the message out that I’ve been trying to for so long. (It’s) taken … a lot of confidence and a lot of mental strength. It was a stressful situation to not know what I was getting into physically and knowing how to stay mentally stable during that.

copyright nbc, and reproduced with permission Ashley Huhn took a break from teaching special education and coaching soccer to compete in NBC’s “Titan Games,” hosted by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

DT: How long did it take you to prepare for this competition? How exactly did you prepare? AH: My preparation has been for the last 25 years. I’ve been doing CrossFit

for about three years. But (NBC) didn’t really tell us what we would be doing at all. They gave us a hint here and there and were like, “Well, remember that we’re paired with

American Ninja Warrior, so maybe think of American Gladiators.” So, I tried combining the two worlds as best I could and went extra heavy in CrossFit and Strongman type stuff.

Longhorns fall in Fort Worth

Texas drops its fourth game out of the last five. By Steve Helwick @s_helwick

ORT WORTH — Big 12 road games have been anything but a cakewalk for Texas this year. But with under 30 seconds remaining in Schollmaier Arena, the Longhorns possessed the ball with an opportunity to complete a double-digit, second-half comeback and force overtime. Leading by three in the waning seconds, TCU head coach Jamie Dixon implemented a strategy to expend his team’s fouls to prevent Texas from running a set play. Instead of 22 seconds, Texas was allotted six seconds to operate. The best look the Longhorns received was an Elijah Mitrou-Long corner three that ricocheted off the top of the backboard. The Horned Frogs corralled the desperation heave and TCU (14–4, 3–3 Big 12) hung on for a 65-61 win over Texas (11–8, 3–4). “We had the two (fouls) to give, we used some time and we didn’t want to foul them on the catch,” Dixon said of his late-game strategy. “I think it was executed pretty well. It was certainly the right way, made them take a tough shot, and that’s where we wanted to be.” Texas stood in front for much of the first half, but a slew of turnovers contributed to a slight halftime deficit. TCU championed the second half in wire-towire fashion after holding a 35-31 edge at the break. Then center Kevin Samuel’s domination in the paint propelled TCU to a 13-5 run, setting the tone for the rest of the night. “I thought we had an opportunity in the first half to build on a lead,” Texas head coach Shaka Smart said. “If you look at the points off turnovers and off of offensive rebounds, that was a huge part

of why they won the game. We didn’t do a good enough job valuing the basketball and keeping them off the glass, so that led to us being down at the half instead of being up at the half.” A comeback appeared to be brewing when Texas collapsed TCU’s advantage to two points. However, the Longhorns couldn’t avoid the whistle while battling a physical TCU offense. Texas committed 20 fouls and sent the Horned Frogs to the line for 18 attempts, many in the latter stretch of the second half.

“We gotta defend without fouling,” shooting guard Kerwin Roach II said. “I think we did a pretty good job of it, but the calls didn’t get reciprocated at the end.” Shooting guard Desmond Bane, who had a game-high 17 points, turned on the burners on drives to reenergize TCU. Bane swerved through Longhorn defenders and finished with an acrobatic, reverse underhand layup high off the glass. He followed it up with another difficult layup one possession later, hampering

Texas’ comeback and extending TCU’s lead to 62-54 with 3:54 remaining. “Plays like that definitely help get us going, get the crowd moving, and help us close out games,” Bane said. “(The reverse underhand layup) is something we joke around with (in practice) and it was crazy just to put it in in a game.” Shooting guard Jase Febres sparked another comeback to create a one-possession deficit. Texas’ opportunity to tie was foiled by Dixon’s fouling strategy, causing a third-straight road loss for

the Longhorns. Basketball’s a game of possessions, and seven of the Longhorns’ eight losses have fallen within six points. Texas players, 1–4 in their last five outings, analyzed why the Longhorns have been on the wrong end of numerous close contests. “Just to capitalize on the smaller details, is all we need,” center Jaxson Hayes said. “We had 17 turnovers. We just need to take away like three of those, and it’s a whole different story.”

Texas wins despite sloppy home performance By Stephen Wagner @stephenwag22

Early in the second quarter, Kansas’ Kylee Kopatich launched a wide-open 3-pointer. She missed the shot off the back of the rim, but the shot clock failed to reset and resulted in a turnover. The play was immediately reviewed, and after about three seconds of deliberation, the officials determined that Kansas would be given the ball with 25 seconds to shoot. About four seconds later, the Jayhawks committed another turnover, and this one counted. More importantly, this sequence elucidated the Jayhawks’ struggles: failing to capitalize on opportunities during the Longhorns’ 62-43 win on Wednesday night. Make no mistake — Texas was clearly the more talented team from the outset and rightfully won the game, but the Jayhawks gave their fans very little to “Rock Chalk” about, especially in the first half. Kansas shot an egregious 17 percent from the field, including an abysmal 3-of-18 from deep, and would go on to shoot a season-low 26 percent from the floor and 13 percent from beyond the arch. “You’ve got to make shots,” Kansas head coach Brandon Schneider said after the game. “I think every loss is

different. I wouldn’t say that I feel like we could have won it (if Kansas made more shots), but I feel like we could have been much more competitive had

we made shots.” However, despite the poor level of play Kansas exhibited, Texas failed to capitalize and maintained just a

nine-point halftime lead. This was a recurring theme in the second half, and although Texas ultimately won by 19 points, its level of

play left much to be desired. Although Texas managed to extend their lead back to 14 going in to the fourth, an early back-and-forth sequence between the two teams appeared to be cause for concern. Was Texas going to flirt with disaster, again? The answer, consolingly to Texas fans, was no. Texas managed to finally preserve a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter for the first time at home in conference play. As the final horn sounded, a vexed Karen Aston walked over to the playby-play radio broadcasters for her final thoughts on the game. “I apologize for tonight’s performance,” Aston said. “I didn’t think we had poor effort, but we weren’t focused, and I apologize for that.” Sug Sutton, the point guard who has effectively emerged as the leader of “the Longhorns”, wasn’t in much of a better mood and blamed guard play for a disappointing performance. “We weren’t ourselves tonight,” Sutton said. “It started with me. Our tempo was really bad coming into the game. Like (Aston) said, our guard play was pretty bad tonight.” Texas has three days off before its matchup against Texas Tech in Lubbock on Saturday, giving the Longhorns time to refocus and resettle. Until then, Aston left the media with this statement: “We’re going to have to play a lot
