UT offers free online classes
Texas Grant Program may require $1.3 billion
By Christine Ayala UT will offer free online courses, available to anyone around the world, starting this fall. The course will be Ideas of the 20th Century, Introduction to Globalization, Bench to Bedside: Introduction to Drug Development and the Commercialization Process and
Energy Technology & Policy. The University recently joined the edX program, a nonprofit organization providing free online learning that was started by the Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology and also includes the University of California at Berkeley, Wellesley College and Georgetown University. Harrison Keller, vice provost for higher education policy
and research senior lecturer, said the classes created by UT professors will offer students a certificate of mastery or completion at the end of the course, but will not qualify UT students for course credit. Keller said there will be no limit on enrollment in the classes. “UT is one of the leading institutions in technology enhanced learning education,” Keller said. “This is one of
the most interesting frontiers we’re exploring. These courses are aimed at personal enrichment and life long learning.” The courses set to be offered next spring are Jazz Appreciation, Foundations of Data Analysis, Mathematics and Effective Thinking, Introduction to Embedded Systems and Linear Algebra.

TODAY Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” The American Shakespeare Center returns to campus for an exciting performance. In “Twelfth Night,” Shakespeare provides a feast of language and songs in a play that is sublime and subversive, breaking rules and bending gender to show love in all its guises and disguises. The play will be held at Hogg Auditorium and begin at 7 p.m. General admission tickets cost $15 or $10 with an UT ID. ChE Seminar Dr. Tse Nga Ng will present the paper “Flexible Printed Electronics: From Materials Characterization to Device Integration.” He will speak from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Building (CPE) 2.218. The event is free.
Professors Joseph Beaman Jr. and Sharon Wood were inducted into the National Academy of Engineering in recognition of their achievements in the engineering world. Beaman received an undergraduate education at UT and works on technology for 3-D printing and manufacturing at the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Wood, chairwoman of the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, is the first woman elected to the academy in the area of structural engineering. The National Academy of Engineering has only 2,461 members and foreign associates, 80 of which were inducted this year, said Maria Arrellaga, director of communications and public affairs at the Cockrell School of Engineering. “Being inducted into the
NAE is something that is the result of years and years of research,” Arrellaga said. “It’s the award of all awards, the recognition of all recognition.” Wood was elected for her designs for reinforced concrete structures, which can withstand more severe earthquakes and are based on field research in Chile, Turkey and California after earthquakes, as well as for her work installing seismic instruments in earthquake prone areas, according to the academy’s website. Wood said she and colleagues studied collapses of parking garages in California after the Northridge earthquake in 1994, and she recently worked on committees to implement a national plan for installing seismic instruments in buildings. “One of the problems when you go out and look at an earthquake is you don’t know how the ground moved in that location or

Texas could expand access to a financial aid program that benefits thousands of low-income students at UT if it enacts recommendations passed down by the state’s higher education agency. Raymund Paredes, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board commissioner, told a subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee on Monday that the TEXAS Grant Program would need $1.3 billion to fully function during the 2014-15 biennium. “Unless the Legislature is willing to make significant increases in the TEXAS Grant Program every session as demand continues to increase, this program is simply not sustainable in its current form,” Paredes said. The program serves students whose expected family contribution to their cost of attendance is $4,000 or less, which constitute a large percentage of students graduating from public schools, Paredes said. “Given that fact, the state simply can’t meet the escalating demand for financial aid under current program operational guidelines and funding levels,” Paredes said. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is asking the Texas Legislature to allocate $719.6 million to the TEXAS Grant Program for the 2014-15 biennium. That amount is about $145 million more than the

UT pushes graduation rates By Jordan Rudner The UT System Board of Regents, President William Powers Jr. and President Barack Obama have all issued calls to raise graduation rates, and in the search for solutions, the University is turning to the ultimate experts: actual college educators. UT hosted a panel Monday to discuss “An Open Letter to College and University Leaders: Completion Must Be Our Priority,” the report released last month by the National Commission on Higher Education Attainment. The report states that “our goal was to look at this issue from the viewpoint of college and university leaders.” Panel participants included E. Gordon Gee, president of Ohio State University and chairman of the commission; Molly Corbett Broad, president of the American
Council on Education; UT-El Paso President Diana Natalicio; and George Martin, president of St. Edward’s University. The report, released in January, offered a range of suggestions under three broader categories: changing campus culture to boost student success, improving cost-effectiveness and quality and making better use of data to boost success. UT has already undertaken some of the goals laid out in the report, including appointing David Laude as senior vice provost of enrollment and graduation management. Gee said appointing such an officer was a vital step in shifting the focus exclusively from boosting enrollment rates. “We have vast institutions called admissions offices, but we don’t have any offices focused on completion,” Gee said. Natalicio emphasized the impact a cultural shift
can have on completion rates. She also mentioned her preference for the term “completion rate” rather than “graduation rate” because typically, graduation rate calculations do not include transfer students or part-time students. “We’ve been able to change the culture of a community that always saw itself as marginalized and working class,” Natalicio said. Natalicio attributed a large part of the cultural shift to the work UT-El Paso has done with local K-12 schools. “We all know that talent crosses gender and ethnic and socioeconomic boundaries, and we were squandering a tremendous amount of talent in the El Paso community,” Natalicio said. “El Paso colleges didn’t reflect the demographic makeup of the community. So we first worked for K-12 to raise aspirations and

continues from page 1 The classes are part of the massive open online courses format, which is increasingly being offered at universities across the country. Recently, the American Council on Education endorsed a few similar courses at other universities to give students credit. Germanic studies professor John Hoberman, who will teach Introduction to Globalization, said the course would be limited to those fluent in English and with constant Internet access. Hoberman has taught the course in person for eight semesters and said he is restructuring the course to fit an online audience. “Adapting a course that has been based on lectures and inclass discussion to an online format presents considerable challenges,” Hoberman said in an email. “This format requires
a large number of short lectures; these presentations must be interspersed with maps, diagrams, video clips, photographs and quizzes. We must find ways to promote and respond to discussions in which a very large number of people may want to participate.” The online course will not be restricted to the academic calendar. Philosophy professor Daniel Bonevac will teach Ideas of the 20th Century and said the online lectures will allow professors to give topics an adequate amount of lecture time rather than having to fit them into a class period. “Offering a course online opens up a range of possibilities that are unavailable in a typical, 15-week, three 50-minute classes per week format,” Bonevac said. “The overall content won’t be much different, but it may be divided into units quite differently. We want to choose lengths that are as effective as possible for each topic. Some are going to end up being much shorter than a typical class. Some may be about as long.”
GRANT

Additional funds would allow the board to serve a greater percentage of incoming freshmen who are eligible for the grant, according to data provided by the coordinating board. Current House and Senate proposals allocate $559.5 million to the program for the 2014-15 biennium, the same amount approved during the previous legislative session for the 2012-13 session. The board also uses about $15 million in donations to fund the program, bringing the total funds available for the program to $574.5 million. The coordinating board is also asking the Legislature to reduce the maximum amount of individual awards

from $7,700 to $5,000 for university students and from $2,640 to $1,325 for community college students. Fred Heldenfels, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board chairman, said traditional college-age workers have fewer degrees than workers approaching retirement. Heldenfels said the state must encourage younger workers to obtain degrees, partially by reforming how the state distributes financial aid. “Texas must significantly increase the education and skills of these workers or risk decades of declining competitiveness,” Heldenfels said. This system only allows the program to give grants to 22 percent of eligible incoming freshmen, according to data provided by the coordinating board. If the Legislature enacted the board’s recommendations, the program could allocate grants to 90 percent of eligible incoming freshmen. According to the 2011 budget passed by the Legislature, the 2012-13 allocation

aimed to serve an estimated 60,114 students in 2012 and 49,907 in 2013. The proposed allocation for the 2014-15 biennium would serve an estimated 77,615 students in 2014 and 85,965 in 2015. The Legislature allocated $50.7 million to 8,449 students at UT eligible for the grant during the 2012-13 biennium, according to information provided by the Office of Student Financial Services. During the 2010-11 biennium, 7,653 UT students received grants out of the $59.4 million allocated by the Legislature to the University. State Rep. Helen Giddings, D-DeSoto, said the state must consider rising tuition costs when discussing how to offset the cost of attendance and how to encourage students to graduate within the time allotted by their degree plan. “In some cases,” Giddings said, “it appears that we may be locking out those very people, I think, who would make the biggest difference in terms of our society.” demand, is the result of his cooperation with former UT graduate student Carl Deckard that started in 1986. “We wanted to be able to sit at the desk [in front of a 3-D modeling program] and print a hard copy,” Beaman said. “It costs a lot of money to make a mold.

phasized that universities need to adopt the recommendations on a case-bycase basis. “Our commission is interesting because we don’t tell people prescriptively what to do — we just tell people to get moving,” Gee said. “There are multiple ways to salvation.” Broad also emphasized the complicated nature of the college completion issue. “One size doesn’t fit all is such an understatement,” Broad said. “The great strength of the United States’ educational system is its diversity.”

NEWS BRIEFLY State of the Union set to awaken populism WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will press a politically-divided Congress to approve more tax increases and fewer spending cuts during a State of the Union address focused on stabilizing the middle class and repairing the stillwobbly economy. The agenda Obama will outline Tuesday before a joint session of Congress will include more money for infrastructure, clean energy technologies, manufacturing jobs and expanding access to early childhood education. The backdrop for Obama’s address will be a March 1 deadline for averting automatic across-the-board spending cuts. The president wants lawmakers to push that deadline back for a second time to create space for a larger deficit-reduction deal.
Same-sex partners see benefits in military WASHINGTON — The Defense Department is not extending some housing benefits to same-sex partners of service members even though it legally could because the complex issue requires more review and has triggered concerns among military leaders, senior Pentagon officials said Monday. A new department memo detailed a number of other benefits that will be extended to same-sex partners, including identification cards that will provide access to commissaries and other services. Some access to base housing is not specifically prohibited and could be offered in the future. —Compiled from Associated Press reports

Pope’s resignation surprises church By Nicole Winfield & Victor L. Simpson Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — With a few words in Latin, Pope Benedict XVI did what no pope has done in more than half a millennium, stunning the world by announcing his resignation Monday and leaving the already troubled Catholic Church to replace the leader of its one billion followers by Easter. Not even his closest associates had advance word of the news, a bombshell that he dropped during a routine morning meeting of Vatican cardinals. And with no clear favorites to succeed him, another surprise likely awaits when the cardinals elect Benedict’s successor next month. “Without doubt this is a historic moment,” said Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, a protege and former theology student of Benedict’s who is considered a papal contender. “Right now, 1.2 billion Catholics the world over are holding their breath.” The move allows for a fasttrack conclave to elect a new pope, since the traditional nine days of mourning that would follow a pope’s death doesn’t have to be observed. It also gives the 85-year-old Benedict great sway over the choice of his successor. Though he will not himself vote, he has hand-picked the bulk of the College of Cardinals — the princes of the church who will elect his successor — to guarantee his conservative legacy and ensure an orthodox future for the church. The resignation may mean
Gregorio Borgia | Associated Press In this March 25, 2010 file photo, Pope Benedict XVI gestures from his popemobile as he leaves a youth gathering in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican. When he became pope at age 78, Benedict XVI was already the oldest pontiff elected in nearly 300 years. He’s now 85 and says his diminished “strength of mind and body” is the reason for his sudden resignation.
that age will become less of a factor when electing a new pope, since candidates may no longer feel compelled to stay for life. “For the century to come, I think that none of Benedict’s successors will feel morally obliged to remain until their death,” said Paris Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois. Benedict said as recently as 2010 that a pontiff should resign if he got too old or infirm to do the job, but it was a tremendous surprise when he said in Latin that his “strength of mind and body” had diminished and that he couldn’t carry on. He said he would resign effective 8 p.m. local time on Feb. 28. “All the cardinals remained
shocked and were looking at each other,” said Monsignor Oscar Sanchez of Mexico, who was in the room at the time of the announcement. As a top aide, Benedict watched from up close as Pope John Paul II suffered publicly from the Parkinson’s disease that enfeebled him in the final years of his papacy. Clearly Benedict wanted to avoid the same fate as his advancing age took its toll, though the Vatican insisted the announcement was not prompted by any specific malady. The Vatican said Benedict would live in a congregation for cloistered nuns inside the Vatican, although he will be free to go in and out. Much of
this is unchartered territory. The Vatican’s chief spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said he isn’t even sure of Benedict’s title — perhaps “pope emeritus.” Since becoming pope in 2005, Benedict has charted a very conservative course for the church, trying to reawaken Christianity in Europe where it had fallen by the wayside and return the church to its traditional roots, which he felt had been betrayed by a botched interpretation of the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council. His efforts though, were overshadowed by a worldwide clerical sex abuse scandal, communication gaffes that outraged Jews and
Muslims alike and, more recently, a scandal over leaked documents by his own butler. Many of his stated priorities as pope also fell short: He failed to establish relations with China, heal the schism and reunite with the Orthodox Church or reconcile with a group of breakaway, traditionalist Catholics. There are several papal contenders in the wings, but no obvious front-runner — the same situation as when Benedict was elected after the death of John Paul. As in recent elections, some push is expected for the election of a Third World pope, with several names emerging from Asia, Africa and Latin America.

From the archives: The cast change
Words of wisdom to SG candidates Thor Lund and Wills Brown Guest Columnists
Editor’s note: The following editorial first ran in The Daily Texan on May 8, 1957, written by Nancy McMeans, then editor-in-chief. McMeans must have known she had a national news story on her hands shortly after a talented AfricanAmerican UT music female student was cast in a production of the opera “Dido and Aeneas” in a romantic role opposite a white male classmate. Because of her race, the female student, Barbara Smith (now Smith-Conrad), was expelled from the production after then-UT President Logan Wilson bowed to pressure from racially prejudiced Texas legislators. Subsequently, Conrad went on to have a world-renowned career as an opera singer. The story of her treatment at UT was the subject of a film produced in 2010, “When I Rise,” which was screened by the Texas Independent Film Network last night. This editorial captures a moment in history when some students at UT first began to realize that their belief in equality might prevail over the segregationist ones of the legislators and administrators. It all began when Barbara Smith came to the University. She was one of the first group, a minority group to be sure, of Negro students who came to the University as undergraduates. She wanted to study music education and she took her place in the music school quietly. The only thing we heard about her in the first few months of the year was that she had a pleasing and promising voice. Then in October, tryouts were held for the various roles in the opera to be performed in the spring, Dido and Aeneas. Barbara, being a music major with a voice, tried out. And the faculty committee which chose the cast chose Barbara for the leading role of Dido. They thought they were to choose the best voice for the part and we are told they did. They displayed, we think, some striking naivete. While the world of music is noted — among those performing, if not always those viewing — for a lack of distinction on the basis of color, and cast lines are drawn, if anywhere, on the basis of talent, the people on the committee should have known the temper of the times, and even last October it was no secret that some members of the Legislature were planning the bills now being considered. Even if the girl chosen had the best voice, and we do not doubt that she did, it would have seemed only the better part of discretion and wisdom not to have cast her in a romantic role opposite a white male lead. The Board of Regents of the University made a courageous and forthright stand when they announced two summers ago that the University would be integrated on the undergraduate level in addition to the graduate level. Texas was the first University in the South to do so. This much progress has been made. Under desirable conditions, Barbara could have gone on and sung the role and no furor would have been caused. But old wrongs cannot be righted in a day or in a year or in two years. Ultimate harmony would have been best served by waiting and not

taking such a step this year. They did not, however, and if it was not the most discrete action, it was not wrong. She received some anonymous phone calls as did Dean Doty of the Fine Arts School and apparently eventually Dr. Wilson himself. According to members of the cast, the calls made the directors uneasy enough that they checked cast members in and out at rehearsals to see that no unidentified persons entered. About a week and a half ago Barbara was told she would not appear in the opera as cast. Two possible ways this may have come about are 1: An anonymous phone call to Wilson alerted him to the situation and he called the administrative meeting at which the decision was made or 2: A member of the Legislature called him and the same meeting ensued. Leroy Jeffers, chairman of the Board of Regents, has said that the decision was not made as a result of legislative pressure, and we are inclined to agree with him. But whichever was the case, neither seems to be a justification for the action. Whether Barbara should have had the role this year under present circumstances is a matter of opinion. Once she had it, neither legislative threat, singular or collective, nor anonymous calls seem proper reason to remove her from the role. If we are going to allow students to compete and perform in areas where competition and performance form a natural part of the work, opportunities for achievement and recognition should be open to all bona fide students. Otherwise, restricting a special group removes them from opportunities we suggest are theirs when we allow them to enroll. It was on the basis of recognizing the quality where they found it that the committee, naïve and lacking in discretion as they may have been, selected Barbara to do the role. As one observer put it , “The poor people, they thought their job was just to select the best singer.”

With Student Government elections right around the corner, we’ve been reminded of the chaos that ensnared a majority of the campaigns and delayed elections for a month and a half last year. Seeing as how we survived and came out on top, we thought our experiences and those of our competitors would provide us with some high-quality advice to shell out to those running this year — or any year — for any position. 1) But we all make mistakes, right? The rules are pretty simple. Phrases such as “fair market value,” “no association” and “early campaigning” are straightforward. Just run a clean campaign; it’s really not that difficult. The election code is your friend. All the rules have been put in place for different reasons and are there to work for you, not against you. If you think you need to break the rules to win, you’re probably not the best candidate for the job anyway, so do your fellow students a favor and stay out of the competition before you embarrass yourself. But we all make mistakes, right? If you do find yourself in a bit of trouble, just be honest. Evidence of lying doesn’t go over too well with students, or with the Election Supervisory Board, for that matter. And, for the love of God, if you get disqualified, don’t sue the University — it won’t go over very well (see #3). 2) Have tangible platform points Politicians seem to love buzzwords. However, here at the University, empty phrases get you nowhere. UT students are far too smart to fall for outlandish or nonexistent claims. Be especially sure your platform points are both attainable and in the best interest of the students. We can say with 100 percent certainty that we promised to tackle specific student issues, and we did just that. 3) Don’t sue the University In SG elections, no one enjoys sore losers. More specifically, no one enjoys the sore losers who sue the University because they didn’t get their way. If you cheat, have the guts to face the consequences. Do not, and we repeat, do not try to find any loopholes to beat the system. 4) Know your running mate This is key. You’ll be working with this person day and night, and any serious campaign will take an emotional toll on all parties involved. If you’re lucky, you’ll have been best friends with your running mate since third grade, which was the case with us. If not — which is admittedly more likely — be sure to get to know your running mate outside of the political spectrum. That way you’ll know how they act in certain situations and you’ll probably have developed at least a hint of chemistry before you step out into the public’s scrutiny. In essence, Student Government is not about us. It’s not about the college representatives either. It’s about each and every student on this campus that we strive to serve day in and day out, and we believe UT deserves a student body president and vice president that will do just that. So please, to those campaigning, never forget that, as SG’s motto so simply and elegantly states it, we are: Students Serving Students. Lund and Brown are current Student Government president and vice president.
The end of Austin Travis Knoll Daily Texan Columnist
UT’s American Studies department recently launched a new digital humanities project titled “The End of Austin,” which purports to “explore urban identity in Austin.” For the most part, writers featured in the project are not saying that Austin’s doom is imminent, but wonder if Austin will “lose some of its past charm.” But its title, “The End of Austin,” echoes neoconservative political scientist Francis Fukuyama’s famous 1989 essay “The End of History,” in which Fukuyama posited that history was over because the U.S.’S victory following the Cold War represented the pinnacle of global political development. Some of the contributors to the project are not as happy about their conclusion as Fukuyama was about his. They fear that “the real Austin” will be consumed by constant growth, its charm lost and its legacy fled to elsewhere. It will become just another sprawling super-metropolis, an L.A. without Hollywood, a New York without Broadway. To save Austin’s brand, it must be “exported” to other outlying cities, lest it be lost forever to the growth machine of consumer capitalism. I disagree: Austin will not simply devolve into a giant suburbia. Even the largest cities are a mix of urban culture and “houses in a box” neighborhoods. The larger problem with this premise is that there is no one “real Austin.” Interestingly, articles appearing in “The End of Austin” make this distinction while still maintaining the idea that the “real Austin” might be on its way out. Andrew Busch, UT PhD graduate, visiting professor of American Studies at Miami University and contributor to “The End of Austin,” writes in “An End Both Slow and Urgent: Blackness in Austin” that Austin promoters never mention the consistent black flight from Austin dating back to the 1920s or Austin’s resistance to racial integration in the 1960s. He is correct in that assessment, and the effects of those phenomena are still felt today. The Texan highlighted significant segregation in neighborhoods

such as West Campus and Riverside in an article titled “A Tale of Two Neighborhoods,” published on Sep. 14, 2012. While for many college students life in Austin can seem charming, racism is still a part of our city’s cultural legacy. We see, then, that the idea of Austin having a “golden age” is misguided. The fact is that we cannot define one true Austin, because Austin has historically held many different meanings for its diverse, ever-growing population. Is it the Benson Collection, one of the largest Latin American collections in the world, that makes Austin what it is? Is it 6th Street, with its never-ending Saturday night parties? Is it our live music? Is it student housing cooperatives? Or is it frat parties in West Campus? Some of the contributors to this project say that there are many Austins that are dying, but if there is no consensus as to what Austin is, I think it would be more prudent say that Austin as a whole is “mixed and changing,” like any other influential cultural hotspot. Nostalgia is inherently self-defeating. In Woody Allen’s 2011 movie “Midnight in Paris,” the main character is transported to 1920s Paris every night at midnight. After enjoying this surreal universe for a time, he has a confrontation with a French girl to whom he is attracted. He thinks that the 1920s “present” is perfect, while she longs for the days of the 19th century. Allen’s protagonist then realizes that nostalgia is a vicious cycle, which inhibits innovation and adaptation in the present. We in Austin can learn from this scene. If we refuse to acknowledge our progress alongside our cherished traditions, we will be in a constant state of longing. If we idealize our past, we will be unable to build upon our progress or address historic wrongs and inequalities that continue into the present. We must boldly claim the future, building on our cultural diversity, addressing real threats and affirm that the end of Austin will only come if we buy into fatalism and determinism. Austin is not ending; we have the chance to shape it for the better. Knoll is a Latin American Studies senior from Dallas.

Talk puts microscope on Sweden By Mark Carrion
Sam Ortega | Daily Texan Staff Ethnic studies major Trenton Patterson participates as a member of an all-male panel that discussed relationships from the male perspective on Monday evening in the SAC ballroom.
Men sound off on relationships By Matthew Hart Forming and maintaining healthy relationships could be a bit more complex than students may realize — or perhaps just as outrageous as a panel of all male UT students made it out to be Monday night. A moderator confronted the panel with questions based off of themes and motives drawn from the book “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man.” The forum was the second of the subject matter held at the Student Activity Center, and stirred up controversy and laughter from an audience of UT students. The male students were first asked to classify themselves into a variety of possible titles, some of which included “the player,” “the mama’s boy” and “the happier single guy.” After a brief introduction of the panel, heated discussions and moments of truth followed. Most of the questions involved the underlying tendency of college students to shield themselves from the opposite sex. Female students wanted to expose the vulnerabilities some of the male
panel seemed to withhold. When asked whether or not a woman can change a man, management senior Neil Tanner said getting to know your partner is beneficial. “There are certain factors in a relationship that women can change,” Tanner said. “It really comes down to knowing that person, understanding the core of the relationship and understanding how to bring out the best in them.” Devin Hicks, business administration graduate student, said changing one’s man should not be a concern. “If you go into a relationship with the intention of changing your guy, you’ve already started on the wrong foot,” Hicks said. Other questions pertained to what men really think about. Ethnic studies senior Cameron Hunt said many college students aren’t thinking about a serious relationship right now. “I’m not thinking about finding my soul mate. I’m just trying to get my life together,” Hunt said. “I don’t have time to dedicate my life to that kind of stuff.” The forum ended with a question regarding the legiti-

macy of titles in a relationship. The panel discussed whether women get too caught up in titles and how to determine when a relationship is exclusive enough for “dating” to be an appropriate term. Hicks said communication is necessary to avoid confounding and conflicting uses of the term. “Are we together, are we talking, are we exclusive or are we not?” Hicks said. “There needs to be communication. If one thinks they are in a relationship and the other thinks they are just talking, then there is a problem.”

Sweden’s welfare system has caused a devaluation of its currency, known as the krona, and restricted access to healthcare in order to keep treatment costs low. This resulted in patients being placed on waiting lists for as long as 18 months just to be treated. “Government presents us with a view of economics that is very different from what most economic professors would say and the opposite of what Austrian Economics would say,” said Daniel Krawisz, software engineering graduate student and a member of the Mises Circle. “Economics is important to make informed choices about politics.” Krawisz said that the Mises Circle is open to students willing to learn about economics. The Mises Circle meets every Monday at 7 p.m. to discuss economic theory. “We would like to see people who are informed, but who are ready to disagree,” Krawisz said. “It helps us to refine our ideas.”

Students got a realistic view into the supposed prosperity of Sweden’s economy at a talk hosted Monday night by the UT Mises Circle in Waggener Hall. Computer science junior Michael Goldstein, who co-founded the Mises Circle last spring along with former UT students George McHugh and Jose Nino, hosted the talk. “Our goal was to create a forum for economics in the tradition of the Austrian school, which focuses on the logic of human action as the basis of economic theory,” Goldstein said. The Austrian School of Economics, on which the Mises Circle bases its philosophy, was developed in part by Ludwig von Mises, a 20th century Austrian economist. Mises also developed the theory of praxeology, which seeks to explain the effects of actions by individuals. The Mises Circle talk, titled The Myth of Sweden, sought to explain the cur-
rent economic state of Sweden based on its perceived success as a capitalist country with an expansive welfare system. Per Bylund, a Swedish professor of entrepreneurship at the University of Missouri, participated in the talk via live webcast. Bylund said that while there is a myth of Sweden’s economy being among the finest in the world, high income taxes and an unsustainable degree of socialization are the realities. “Things are not what they look like,” Bylund said. “Sweden is really a subsidized market with exploited workers.” Bylund said even though Sweden may have extensive welfare programs, such as free health care, public schooling — students are actually paid to go to school, but also have a legal obligation to do so — and social security, the government uses these programs as an incentive for workers to pay high taxes into the system. Despite the large amounts of benefits, Bylund said

Study: Women splurge more on valentines By Klarissa Fitzpatrick matures into womanhood
Marshall Nolen | Daily Texan Staff Dr. John B. Callicott of the University of North Texas and Dr. Sahotra Sarkar of UT-Austin discuss sustainability and the ethics of human interactions with the environment at the second annual sustainability-focused, televised lecture in the CMB on Monday night.
Experts: Sustainability begins socially By Klarissa Fitzpatrick Sustainability reaches beyond the natural world, according to UT integrative biology and philosophy professor Sahotra Sarkar and UNT philosophy professor John Callicott, who defined sustainability and discussed methods of achieving it Monday night. Sustainability relates more to lifestyle, with regards to the global economy and civilization, and how the world will be for future generations, Callicott and Sarkar said. “Our economy and our global civilization, which is now very much integrated, is in many ways overconnected and very fragile, and I think, at serious risk,”
Callicott said. “So what I think is important for the sustainablity of the global civilization and its associated economy is that we have to model the human economy and model it on the cyclical economy of nature.” However, developing infrastructure in countries such as India and China can take higher priority than sustainability, Sarkar said. “You have a group of people who are living at the bottom of their society, and they are living in abject poverty,” Sarkar said. “You want development as fast as possible because you want every one of those children, who are say, under two or three, to get proper nutrition, to get proper education, to get to the circumstance where
they can actually enjoy a type of life that at least approximates the least fortunate of us who are living in this society.” Because sustainability has become a vague notion that functions to “greenwash” initiatives, Sarkar and Callicott said interdisciplinary actions are necessary to better define and advance sustainability, especially regarding population growth. “What really influences fertility, irrespective of affluence, is women’s opportunity and control over their reproductive lives,” Callicott said. “It’s a great confluence of democratic values with the population issue. It seems to have positive ethical and social components and an environmental benefit.”
Environmental problems often have social aspects and can be dealt with through social action, Sarkar said. “It does not mean that the natural world does not constrain us or we can violate the basic laws of science,” Sarkar said. “[People] need to have full lives without having to drive 80 miles to get there.” Abhay Divakaruni, a Plan II and business honors freshman who describes himself as a big proponent of sustainability, said parts of the lecture, which was hosted by the School of Undergraduate Studies, made him reconsider some of his daily routine. “So instead of maybe making the big shift from eating meat to being vegetarian, I might think of maybe instead moderately doing things,” Divakaruni said. “Maybe being like a weekday vegetarian or something like that.”
Women buy more gifts than men for Valentine’s Day, even though men spend more money for their significant other, according to a study conducted by UT professor. Angeline Close, an assistant professor of advertising, conducted research on this topic over a seven-year period for her doctorate. Eventually she realized that while men will spend more on gifts for a significant other, women buy for more people, so their expenses are similar. “Most companies tend to focus on the male because they have a market obligation,” Close said. “Women spend at least the same, if not more, because we conceptualize love in a much broader way than just romantic.” Total spending for Valentine’s Day is projected to reach $18.6 billion, according to the National Retail Foundation. Men are expected to spend an average of $175.61 on gifts for their significant other, while women will spend an average of $88.78 to celebrate with their partner. The foundation did not release information on how much money women and men spend on Valentine’s Day overall, including platonic purchases, which is where Close said women spend more than men. “Women receive cards and send small gifts to girlfriends, mothers, grandmothers, sisters and to a lesser extent, colleagues and neighbors,” Close said in the book “Gender, Culture and Consumer Behavior.” “These gender-based expectations and behaviors evolve over the course of a lifetime, and roles develop along with the person as she
and motherhood.” Close also found that most subjects had conflicting feelings about Valentine’s Day. Most debate and discussion about Valentine’s Day occurs the week of the holiday, Close said, although she found many of her subjects had pent up emotions about the event. “The most ironic twist of all of my research — although it is the holiday of love — there is a lot of resistance to it because of the commercialization of what is supposed to be a natural human emotion,” Close said. Sociology professor Debra Umberson said Close’s findings fit with what is known about gender roles within relationships because women tend to have many people they confide in, whereas men usually only confide in their spouse. “Women just have more close relationships than men do,” Umberson said. “Women are the kin-keepers. So if they have kids, women are the ones who are going to maintain family ties and organize family gatherings. Journalism sophomore Michael Aaron said that while he didn’t know if Close’s findings reflect gender roles, the results make sense to him. “So, usually I would only buy a Valentine’s Day gift for a significant other. But I can attest to the fact that women would probably spend more, because my mom always buys things for me and my two brothers and my dad,” Aaron said. In a nutshell, women are thoughtful, Umberson said. “They don’t just do it on Valentine’s Day, they do it all year long,” Umberson said. “Whereas men do it when someone tells them to, like on Valentine’s Day.”

Sophomore point guard’s return Kabongo should help UT props up wayward Texas squad Wes Maulsby
By Christian Corona
What Texas has been doing this season hasn’t been working. The Longhorns have been without sophomore point guard Myck Kabongo for each of their 23 games this year — losing 13 of them — but get Kabongo back Wednesday when they face Iowa State. It’s been nearly 11 months since Kabongo, who was suspended 23 games by the NCAA for receiving impermissible benefits during the offseason, has stepped on the floor for Texas. But head coach Rick Barnes insists he’ll start against the Cyclones. “We’re really happy for him that he gets a shot to come back,” Barnes said of Kabongo. “He’s been unbelievable. He’s been our hardest worker every single day and he’s a guy that knows he’s not going to play three quarters of the season. And he doesn’t say a word about it. He comes in every single day and works harder than anybody.”

More on the Web Rick Barnes talks about Kabongo’s return bit.ly/dt_kabongo Kabongo’s return to the Longhorn lineup may not be the only way Barnes shakes things up. Barnes also vowed that freshman guard Demarcus Holland would start Wednesday. Holland scored 13 points in 35 minutes of Texas’ 72-59 loss to Oklahoma State last Saturday, both career highs. “We can speed guys up and take them out of their offense,” Holland said of playing in the same backcourt as Kabongo. “We both know that we don’t really get tired as fast as everyone else. I think we’ll run the floor harder and when we get the rebound in transition, Myck is going to push the ball and get more transition points and more stops on defense.” Even Jonathan Holmes, who has missed the last three weeks with a broken right hand, could suit up.
The team’s leading rebounder, Holmes has missed each of Texas’ last five games but could start Wednesday. The Longhorns have gone 2-3 in Holmes’ recent absence, getting outrebounded four times in five games without him on the floor. “We’ve got to rebound the ball better,” Barnes said. “It all depends on John. We’ve got to get the effort. That’s what we’ve wanted all year, we just haven’t gotten it consistently. We’ve got to get three guys [on the glass]. We’d like to have more, but we’ve got to have three.” Freshman forward Ioannis Papapetrou, who is averaging 12.3 points per game and shooting 50 percent from the floor in his last six contests, could also get more playing time. But clearly the biggest addition to the Texas
EFFORT continues on page 8
It’s been no secret that Texas has not been the best of teams so far this season. Fresh off a 13-point loss to Oklahoma State, the Longhorns now sit five and a half games back of Kansas State and need a bona fide miracle to even reach the NIT, as they have virtually no shot at the Big Dance. But it is not all doom and gloom in Austin. Myck Kabongo will not only return for Wednesday’s game against Iowa State, but in the words of Rick Barnes, there’s “no doubt he has to start.” Barnes has clearly not been satisfied with his team’s performances, going as far as sitting Sheldon McClellan for all but one minute when

Texas first played Iowa State. Kabongo’s return could be the kind of shot in the arm that Texas needs. He could come in and fix the most turnover-prone team in the Big 12. Texas also ranks eighth in the Big 12 in assists and assist-toturnover ratio. Kabongo doesn’t have to come in and be anything spectacular, he just has to come in and be able to guide the offense more efficiently and cut down on turnovers. Texas needs help and Kabongo can certainly provide it, but it remains to be seen if he will. He averaged one turnover every 10 minutes during his freshman season and any improvement would make a very significant difference for

Longhorns look forward to playing with most complete team to date By David Leffler Stat Guy
The last time the Longhorns’ basketball team won back-to-back games our calendars still read 2012. Yep, that is the kind of year Texas has had since the season began back in November. With little success up to this point and decreasingly less to play for, the excuses for the Longhorns to give up on what seems like a lost season are mounting. However, for the first time in a long time, there is a glimmer of hope in this Texas team. With point guard Myck Kabongo coming off of a 23-game suspension, forward Jonathan Holmes close to returning from a hand injury, and freshman DeMarcus Holland newly anointed as a starter, coach Rick Barnes will finally have some tools to work with. For the first time in what seems like forever, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Will Kabongo and Holmes be rusty? Sure-
ly. Can we expect Texas to go on a miracle run and sweep the rest of their Big 12 games? Of course not. However, in a season riddled with frustration and embarrassment, things are finally looking up, and that should not be ignored. On that note, here is a statistical look at some areas in which Kabongo, Holmes, and Holland’s presence should be felt immediately: 13 points scored by DeMarcus Holland in Texas’ 72-59 loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday in what was the best game of his short career. Saturday marked the first time Holland topped 30 minutes of playing time in a single game, a trend that should continue now that he has been named a starter. If Holland can continue to put up points and provide Rick Barnes another scoring threat, Texas will instantly become a deeper, more versatile team. 11.7 assists per game for the Longhorns this year, good for 253rd in the nation. Although freshman Javan Felix has filled in admirably

This week McGee-Stafford shares the honor with Iowa State’s Kidd Blaskowsky due to a tie in the voting process. McGee-Stafford averaged nine points and 12.5 rebounds in the Longhorns’ games last week. She recorded her third doubledouble in the last four games and ninth of the season against No. 1 Baylor with a career-high 18 rebounds accompanied by 13 points. She also played a career-high 38 minutes against the Bears. McGee-Stafford has 12 double-figure scoring and rebounding efforts so far this season.

for Kabongo during his suspension with 5.5 assists per game, adding an additional ball-handler and NBA-caliber talent in Kabongo will give this point-starved Texas offense a much needed spark. 7.1 rebounds per game for Jonathan Holmes this year before he suffered an injury to his hand against Oklahoma. Considering no other Longhorn is averaging
even five boards a game, it is clear Holmes is Texas’ best big man. He should instill a physical element that this team has sorely missed since he went out three weeks ago. Zero: The number of victories the Longhorns have on the road this season. Considering four of their nine remaining Big 12 games will be played away from the Erwin Center, in-
cluding three against teams currently ranked in the Top 25, it will be tough sledding from here on out for this struggling Texas team. If they want to avoid becoming the first team without a road victory in the Rick Barnes-era at Texas, the Longhorns will need to see strong performances from Kabongo, Holmes and Holland from here on out.
Dates for the beginning of football spring practice and the annual Orange-White game have been confirmed by officials within Texas athletics. Spring practice will commence Thursday, Feb. 21 and the OrangeWhite game is set to take place Saturday, March 30 at 6:30 p.m. at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. — Nick Cremona

Longhorns postion themselves for another shot at Big 12 title By Peter Sblendorio
Opening day is just three days away for the Longhorns, and the players are eager to put last year’s disappointment behind them. While head coach Augie Garrido is yet to officially announce his regular starting lineup, a combination of key returning veterans and promising young players are expected to take the field for Texas this Friday. CATCHER Jacob Felts enters his junior season as one of the team leaders after starting every game behind the plate for the Longhorns last year. The backstop often batted cleanup last season, hitting .282 with eight doubles and 21 RBIs, and should claim a spot in the middle of the Texas batting order. He is also one of the Longhorns’ most reliable defenders, as he threw out 39.5 percent of potential base stealers and committed just six errors in 438 attempts as a sophomore. FIRST BASE Alex Silver is expected to start the season at first base after batting .267 and driving in 19 runners in 45 games last season. Silver is dependable with the glove at first base, as he posted an impressive .993 fielding percentage a year ago. He is also one of the better on-base players, as he posted an on-base percentage of .342 last year, and he is someone capable of contributing in the middle or bottom half of the batting order. SECOND BASE Brooks Marlow returns to the Texas lineup after starting in all but one of the Longhorns’ games last year. The sophomore offered some production from the bottom of the order last season, hitting .214 with two home runs, two triples and driving in 29 RBIs. Marlow led the team with 13 sacrifice hits last season and was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team.

SHORTSTOP CJ Hinojosa will make his highly anticipated Texas debut on Friday after being ranked the No. 3 shortstop recruit in the nation by Perfect Game. The freshman is expected to make an impact right away, as he boasts a rare combination of power, speed and on-base skills. He demonstrated his potential in 2011 as a junior at Klein Collins High School when he posted a .405 average with 16 home runs and 61 RBIs to go along with 12 stolen bases. THIRD BASEMAN Erich Weiss is expected to be a cog in the middle of the Texas order after being one of the Longhorns’ most productive hitters last year. The third baseman started every game for Texas in 2012, leading the team with a .350 batting average and 38 RBIs to go along with five home runs and 10 stolen bases. It remains to be seen if he will start the whole year at third base or if he will see time at second, but the Longhorns will do whatever it takes to keep his bat in the lineup. LEFT FIELDER Taylor Stell impressed in 25 games as a freshman, and he should see an increase in playing time this season. The speedy outfielder hit .333 in 60 at-bats last season and converted on all six of his stolen base attempts, and he also scored 14 runs. The sophomore has the chance to make a major impact as an outfielder and could see time at the top of the order thanks to his speed and ability to get on base. CENTER FIELDER Weston Hall is among the top candidates to start the year in center field after transferring to Texas from Navarro College. The junior possesses notable speed and athleticism and could fill the role of second leadoff hitter from the bottom of the order. He walked on to the Navarro College baseball field as a freshman.
loss to USC last November, a 65-63 loss to UCLA last December and their most recent loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday. “I should have been upfront with UT about everything the first time I had a chance, but I’m glad that I corrected my mistake and I’m glad that I was truthful with the NCAA,” Kabongo said in a statement Monday. “I have learned a lot about
myself and what is important to me through this process. I want to thank my teammates and my coaches for sticking by and supporting me all year.” For the first time all year, freshman point guard Javan Felix will not start Wednesday. Kabongo can’t play the Longhorns into the NCAA Tournament, but a respectable finish is still within reach.
It’s red carpet time!

Lawrence Peart | Daily Texan file photo Sophomore Parker French (24) was recently named the Longhorns’ primary weekend starter, followed by junior right-hander Nathan Thornhill. Head coach Augie Garrido has yet to name a Sunday starter.
RIGHT FIELDER Mark Payton was one of Texas’ top players last season, starting every game for the Longhorns without making an error in the outfield. The junior was second on the team with a .322 batting average, to go along with five home runs, four triples, 29 RBIs and eight stolen bases. He was Texas’ primary leadoff hitter a year ago and should resume his role at the top of the order this season. STARTING PITCHER Parker French has been named the starter for Friday’s season opener after winning six games and posting 2.84 ERA in 66.2 innings as a freshman. The right-hander made nine starts last season but is expected to be a full time starter this season. Last year, he struck out 30 batters and limited opponents to a .231 batting average en route to being named Big 12 Freshman of the Year.

this team. But we are not talking about a fifth-year senior. We’re talking about another sophomore. While he may be the most talented sophomore on the team, he doesn’t provide any more experience or savvy that isn’t already there. Kabongo has likely spent the last week getting properly anxious with his first action in nearly a year fast approaching. “I have a great team, and they have supported me all
year. I believe I am a better teammate and am looking forward to finishing the season with my team.” Kabongo said in a statement released by Texas on Monday. “I am ready to start playing with my team again and putting behind me the last several months.” Speaking of the last several months, there was a reason that Kabongo hasn’t played yet this season. The interaction he had with an agent may not have been that bad in the long run, but lying to the University is a cardinal sin. Even if it was a mistake to some extent, he still interacted with an agent
in the offseason. Texas fans should not be surprised by its players leaving early for the NBA when they are not sure-fire lottery picks in the NBA Draft. If Kabongo had planned on going to the NBA after this season anyway, how much dedication will he have to the remaining eight regular season games? If he’s committed to the team, Texas could make some turnaround with a decent tourney run somewhere. But if he isn’t, Texas could continue to struggle in what may become a lost season in the Barnes era. We’ll have to wait until Wednesday to see which is the case.

Women’s Golf recap | Jeremy Thomas
Washington’s speed leads to steals By Evan Berkowitz
A pair of seniors helped the Longhorns place fifth overall with a score of 15-over 299 in Monday’s first round of the 2013 Northrop Grumman Regional Invitational. Seniors Desiree Dubreuil and Katelyn Sepmoree led Texas with a first round 3-over 74 each at the Par 71 Parlos Verdes Golf Club in Palos Verdes, Calif. Sepmoree ended the day with birdies on the par four ninth and 11th holes, a bogey at the 17th and two double bogeys at holes five and 10. Dubreuil teed off first for the Longhorns and had a rocky start on the front nine which included on holes three through nine a scorecard of bogey, birdie, bogey, bogey, double bogie, par and bogey. Her back nine produced a bogey-free half round of golf with birdies at the par four 12th and par four 18th. On the player leaderboard, both Dubreuil and Sepmoree are tied at 19th overall, four
third Unfortunately, I can’t steal home.” But after two stolen bases in two attempts in the Longhorns’ first game against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, she didn’t run against North Texas. And she had the opportunities to do so after reaching first on two singles. “I’m focusing on my timing for the delayed steal right now,” Washington said when asked why she wasn’t running after the game. In her second at-bat the next game, she figured out the timing. After the pitch, the catcher nonchalantly floated the ball back to the pitcher. Before the pitcher even caught the ball, Washington was smiling, standing on second base. As for the bunting, Washington doesn’t care how far up the corner infielders come. “Nine times out of 10 they know I’m going to bunt,” Washington said. “It doesn’t matter where they play.” Washington isn’t just a one-trick pony, however. If the outfield comes in too close she can burn them. With North Texas expecting bunts, the entire defense was pulled in. Washington made them pay, collecting one of the rarest offensive feats in softball, an inside-the-park home run.

but effective, over a sprawled out, minor key piano chord progression. It’s obvious that Foals is up to something. Almost every song, besides “Providence,” is well-developed, with particularly inspiring transitions that demonstrate a control over music that could only come after a hit-and-miss process of elimination. There is a delicacy to Holy Fire that sets Foals above other indie contemporaries, and it sounds like it has found a niche somewhere between its infectious choruses and mysterious soundscapes.
DARWIN DEEZ Album: Songs For Imaginative People Label: Lucky Number Music Songs to Download: “Free (The Editorial Me)” Despite its ostentatious title, Songs For Imaginative People, isn’t as exclusionary as it sounds. Darwin Deez presents accessible music that’s easy to relate to, discussing love in the 21st century while incorporating pop culture trends like Skype and online shopping. While the lyrics are on point and the rhythm section is particularly effective, it sounds like Darwin Deez uses the same chords on almost every song, musically undercutting what would otherwise be a slightly above average indie album.
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE Album: Temper Temper Label: RCA Songs to Download: “Livin’ Life (On The Edge Of A Knife)” Although Bullet For My Valentine has a few legitimately good parts and arguably a sizable amount of talent, the majority of Temper Temper is filled with hypergeneric non-sequiturs that show an inability to successfully craft a song. Unfortunately, it repeats the same formula for every track: a fast chord progression, a buildup to a breakdown, a cheesy, slow four-chord singing chant and a screeching solo. By the end of Temper Temper, if you can make it that far, you wonder why you didn’t just listen to a Metallica album instead.

The Pennsylvania band became a household name in the pop punk scene after 2010’s The Upsides, which was followed by the almost as strong “Suburbia, I’ve Given You All and Now I’m Nothing.” Listening to the older material reveals an impassioned beginning that shows another side of the band (albeit with an unsatisfactory synth player who was thankfully kicked out).

When we lose a relationship, we lose a piece of ourselves. But it’s not the end of the world. It’s a chance to grow and to think about values and to get a feel for what worked and what didn’t work and to reflect on who you are and all of those things. And so in 10 years, 20 years, it’s just a part of your story. It’s a part of your his-

“Sometimes you sit there and watch a band and they are technically proficient all day long, but it doesn’t connect to a level where you are like ‘God, I wish I was that dude,’” Alvear said. “We’re people, we’re organic and we’re not perfect every day. But I feel like albums, especially now, are not an authentic representation of the individual because it’s been made to be so perfect.” The members of the band believe their live performances are what set them apart. “It’s a very sexual experience,” Cowart said. “I usually
need a cigarette afterwards.” Although generally supportive of other bands that come out of Austin, Scorpion Child finds the city’s music scene tiring, especially during South By Southwest. However, as veterans of the festival and repeat performers this March, they appreciate the camaraderie SXSW brings to musicians and having the opportunity to see their friends in other bands. Alvear even went as far as to compare the music festival to a Thanksgiving for musicians. “And some people like
Thanksgiving and some people don’t like Thanksgiving,” Black said. In five years time, Scorpion Child hopes to prove their doubters wrong. They want to explore the world and to have the opportunity to experience music and people they have never seen or heard before. “When you go home and are still thinking about the songs that band played on stage, that’s fucking cool,” Black said. “Sometimes you wake up and you’re still singing that song, that’s what we want for our music.”

tory, and I think that if there’s anything folks should realize, it’s you’re just creating a history right now. Be smart about how you approach that because it’s always going to be your history. So if you’re honest with yourself and your safe and you’re honest with other people, even if things don’t work out, then you’ve got nothing to regret.
Day can put a lot of pressure on people. There is also something to say to find the time to give people a little kick to do something nice for their partner. We see that breakups tend to increase fairly dramatically around this time of year. It’s because we as a society and a culture, we put so much pressure on Valentine’s Day and unfortunately I think that makes people decide, “OK, is this really worth it to go through all of that.” But I don’t know that those relationships ending is necessarily a bad thing — they probably would have anyway. I don’t think it’s a good or bad thing. I think, though, that to some degree every day with a partner we should try to treat them like Valentine’s Day. If that means
showing somebody we care about them and their needs mean something to us and we value them, well that’s what we should always be trying to do.

DATING
Professor gives lecture on science of relationships By Elizabeth Williams Timothy Loving, associate professor in the department of human development and family sciences at UT, will give a Science Study Break talk on the science of relationships Tuesday night. Loving will analyze relationships through movie clips from films such as “(500) Days of Summer” and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” The Daily Texan sat down with Loving to discuss the modern college relationship and Valentine’s Day.
Andrea Macias-Jimenez | Daily Texan Staff Drummer Shawn Alvear, guitarist Chris Cowart, singer Aryn Jonathan Black, bassist Shaun Avants and guitarist David Finner are the members of the local Austin rock band Scorpion Child. Their shows are characterized by their consistently high-energy performances.
Keeping the art alive
Scorpion Child dishes on messy hair, local music scene, true rock and roll By Lindsey Cherner Without an introduction, Scorpion Child is obviously a rock band. Clad in lightwash jeans, boots, buttondown shirts and moppy curls that look tousled in an effortless sort of way, the five-member band gives off an air of regularity and unrehearsed sincerity. They treat each other like brothers, constantly cracking jokes over breakfast tacos and migas at Guero’s Taco Bar before the attention inevitably comes back to those tousled locks. “My hair was like this before I even knew these dudes,” guitarist Chris Cowart said.
His band of brothers made their own witty remarks, adding that their curls actually resemble dreadlocks when they are sweaty after shows. “You should go check out our shower drain,” singer Aryn Jonathan Black said before adding they go through gallons of shampoo and conditioner while on tour. Scorpion Child features Cowart and David Finner on the guitar, over the pounding rhythms of bassist Shaun Avants and drummer Shawn Alvear. Black fronts the rock and roll group. Since the summer of 2006, the five-piece band has called Austin home.
Twitter Tuesday
Five years ago, Black named Scorpion Child after the song “Lil’ Devil” by The Cult. “The Cult was a big influence on our lives,” Avants said. “That was the first real rock record I heard, so it’s actually fitting for me.” Black still finds that all levels of The Cult are influential on him as a performer. He said the front man of The Cult was androgynous in nature, a trait that comes out when Black performs on stage. “I have a feminine side as well as a masculine side. It comes out, it breathes. It’s a spirit thing I think we all like,” Black said of the band’s stage presence. “We all like music that has sexuality and challenges both female and male sexuality.” Scorpion Child played its
first show together after only one week of rehearsal, and after just two months they began work on their upcoming album. “After five years of expectations, we’ve learned to not have them,” Avants said. “It’s better to be surprised.” The band members were quick to add that just because their music has the same rock feel as classic rock and roll bands from the ‘60s and ‘70s, it shouldn’t necessarily be labeled retro. “A lot of people don’t realize there’s a big resurgence going on, but it’s still kind of considered underground because it’s not in the mainstream,” Alvear said. “So a lot of times I think people who are in the know bring people who wouldn’t know or usually listen to our style of music because they don’t
SCORPION CHILD Where: Stubb’s When: Friday Time: 9 p.m. Cost: $10 realize that it actually exists.” The nuances each member brings from their differing lives lend just enough from their musical pasts to bring classic rock surge back to relevance. “When you listen to the rock and roll that comes on 101X, it’s like modern alternative rock,” Avants said. “It’s all digital drums, everything sounds so computerized. There’s no rock in it at all. It’s so pop-y that it’s disco. There’s just no rock in

DT: What do you think some of the biggest issues that modern relationships face are, especially in college and adolescent relationships? Loving: I think, and this is my personal opinion, I worry about what our constant connection means for folks’ abilities to manage things in their relationships. People don’t know how to be alone anymore. They’re not quite comfortable with just being able to sit and be with themselves and when you take that away, you take away people’s ability to value solitude to some degree then. I think it really takes away the alternatives people have if they’re in bad relationships or other types of things. DT: If more people had an understanding of the science and psychology of relationships, do you think that would improve their relationships with other people and their lives in general? Loving: Yes. Absolutely. It’s not going to change things, but knowing how things work and function helps give us insight and some perception of control of what’s going on. So it makes things seem a little bit less out of the way or kind of crazy at times.

Band debuts mature sound on new album By Shane Miller After 2008’s dance-punk album Antidotes and 2010’s relaxed Total Life Forever, Foals could have gone in any direction imaginable, but with Holy Fire it matures into a guitar-driven rock band. Following a lengthy, atmospheric “Prelude,” the first single, “Inhaler,” begins with a harmonic, delayed Bee Gees riff that makes you want to walk down the street and say
hey to everyone. Frontman Yannis Philippakis leads us through a falsetto verse and three measures of a crescendoing pre-chorus before Foals launches into one of the heaviest riffs since Rage Against The Machine’s “Bulls On Parade.” The band’s ability to effortlessly switch between the two types of sounds is both surprising and inspiring, showing Foals’ ability to consolidate its heavier roots off Antidotes with soft rock from Total Life Forever. “My Number” is the sec-
ond single and an outlier from the rest of the album. It’s catchy instead of sulky, hiding the bitter sarcasm in Philippakis’ lyrics, “You don’t have my number, we don’t need each other now.” While the earlier songs make an effort to sound happy, the mood takes a turn toward depression on the centerpiece song “Late Night.” Philippakis convincingly stretches out the words “stay with me” in a chorus that concisely sums up the album. The funk guitar work is minimal,
