Closure confusion causes campus calamity

By Jordan Rudner & Julia Brouillette @jrud & @juliakbrou

After releasing three separate decisions regarding University closure in less than eight hours, University officials apologized for any inconveniences the evolving inclement weather response caused.

Just before 4 a.m., students were notified that the University would remain open. Around 8:15 a.m., students were told classes had been canceled until noon. Shortly before noon, the University announced it would close completely.

“We’re very sorry for any trouble, inconvenience or problems that our students and employees faced related to our decisions,” read the statement, which was posted on the University’s official Tumblr. “We are always working to improve our processes and to learn from each incident.

Clearly, that includes today’s episode.”

Though all morning classes were canceled, the notification came too late for the UT students who had already made their way to campus for their 8 a.m. classes.

Debate over Accenture’s campus role commences

international relations and global studies junior who lives off campus, said she was frustrated by the lack of infrastructure and information.

“I drove right around Rio Grande around 7, and I walked to class at 7:45,” Conley said. “It kind of sucked — they hadn’t put any sand or salt down to get rid of the ice. People were literally crawling down 24th Street. My friend fell.”

government class was not cut short when the University announced closures.

“We sat through the entire class because the professors weren’t informed about what was going on,” Conley said.

Director of media relations Gary Susswein said the multiple closure decisions were all based on continuously updated weather forecasts.

As the University develops its Shared Services Plan, members of the UT community continue to debate the role of management-consulting company Accenture in the plan’s implementation.

The plan, first introduced in October, consists of a set of recommendations to centralize University services.

University officials said the plan calls for the elimination of 500 jobs primarily through attrition and retirement.

The Shared Services Plan came out of a report released in January 2013 by the Business Productivity Committee, a group formed to identify ways to cut costs in the University’s administrative functions.

The committee was chaired by Steve Rohleder, a UT alumnus and an executive at Accenture.

President Barack Obama delivers the State of Union address before a joint session of Congress in the House chamber.

Obama addresses nation

By Alyssa Mahoney @TheDailyTexan

President Barack Obama promised to work to increase equality with or without congressional help in his State of the Union address Tuesday night.

Obama said he plans to increase students’ access to higher education and said Congress should restore education funding to keep the U.S. economy competitive.

“Federally funded research helped lead to the ideas and inventions behind Google and smartphones,” Obama said.

“That’s why Congress should undo the damage done by last year’s cuts to basic research.”

History professor Jeremi Suri said he thinks Obama’s main goal is to increase equality.

“He wanted to make the case that he is working to increase equality and help those who have been left out in the gains made in the last few years,” Suri said. “That includes women, that includes immigrants.”

The speech follows Obama’s announcement of an executive order raising the federal minimum wage for government contract workers from $7.25 to $10.10.

Government professor Bruce Buchanan said Obama may use his power of executive order if he is unable to successfully pass

Austin is known for its locally grown foods, but the Jester dining halls take it a step further. Since December, some of the produce on Jester’s shelves has been grown in a student-run garden just outside.

The new garden was commissioned in September of last year after the success of the Kinsolving garden, which was constructed in 2009 to provide vegetables and herbs to the chefs in UT dining halls.

Green Corps, an organization created this year by the University to educate students about the importance of locally grown food, provides assistance in maintaining the two residence hall gardens at the University. Before Green Corps, kitchen staff had to maintain the garden.

“We really wanted staff and students aware of environmentally friendly ways of eating and living,” said Rachel Markowitz, student manager of Green Corps.

“If you’re going to talk about sustainable food, you should grow some of your own.”

Currently, the garden’s

main produce is lettuce because of its fast growth rate.

Markowitz said Green Corps will most likely plant tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and peas in the spring.

According to Hunter Mangrum, environmental specialist for the Division of Housing and Food Service, Green Corps has harvested lettuce and radishes about four times this season and was able to

harvest six to eight pounds of the vegetables in total.

The amount of produce harvested from the gardens is limited because Green Corps’ mission is to grow things that thrive in Central Texas without needing to use pesticides, Markowitz said.

Unlike many home gardens that are watered with hoses or sprinklers, the University’s residence hall gardens each have an

8,000-gallon rainwater collection tank that runs off of solar power. The tanks collect and filter rainwater from the rooftops and use drip irrigation lines to water the plants. “[The gardens] don’t consume any grid electricity or water,” Mangrum said. “There’s no city water or UT electricity that goes into this.”

That was real deep. I’ll have to go get my scuba gear.

In 2006, the state of Texas outsourced the call centers for the state’s food stamps and Medicaid programs to Accenture in an effort to save money. The state terminated the contract in 2007 after issues with technical operations led to problems with benefit distributions.

According to Kevin Hegarty, UT vice president and chief financial officer, Accenture is working with UT to determine whether implementing Shared Services would benefit the University. He said he considers Accenture to be a highly trusted resource.

“The engagement [with Accenture] is just about done,” Hegarty said.

“They’re wrapping that up now. There is no doubt we will move forward, if we move into pilots — which I believe we are — with a consulting firm, but when it comes time to do that we will go out and, like we typically do, do a statement of work saying ‘here are the services we need,’ send it out into the market and let anybody and everybody that’s interested bid.”

On Monday, the Faculty Council passed a resolution which included a request for specifics regarding Accenture’s role in the Shared Services Plan. The UT Save Our Community Coalition, a collection of student organizations, will hold a press conference Thursday in protest of Accenture’s involvement in the plan.

“I think that that’s frightening that we’re willing to take such a big risk given everything we know about this company and given all of the concerns that faculty, students and staff have raised about this company,” said Bianca Hinz-Foley, Plan II junior and a student representative in the coalition.

Currently, the Business Services Committee is overseeing the implementation of Workday, a new enterprise resource planning software commonly associated with Accenture.

Mary Knight, associate vice president and a member of the Business Services Committee, said they are in the process of evaluating multiple proposals for a new Workday implementation consultant but said she could not disclose any specifics.

continues from page 1 bills through Congress.

“I think that he’s making [the executive order] because it’s part of his general sense that there needs to be opportunity for those on the low end of the spectrum, and, also because it’s going to be kind of a centerpiece of his new strategy of using executive orders since Congress is unresponsive to his request for legislation,” Buchanan said.

Sam Richardson, public affairs assistant professor, said he thinks Obama’s speech was unlike many of his other speeches.

“My sense of the speech was that it was [a] less providing sort of a grand vision like Obama sometimes does with his speeches,” Richardson said. “It was fairly short on specifics on what he was hoping Congress would do, and I think that was because he realizes that he does not

have the support of Congress to push through that agenda.”

Richardson said he thought Obama would discuss the Affordable Care Act in greater depth.

“I was expecting that [the Affordable Care Act] would be a little more prominent than it was,” Richardson said. “I was surprised that he didn’t acknowledge or apologize for the botched rollout of the website.”

Richardson said users of the website still encounter issues and people who tried to sign up for coverage may not be insured.

“It’s clear that the website is not fully working and there are still challenges,” Richardson said. “There are going to be questions that come up about people who thought they were covered,” Richardson said. “Maybe their information didn’t go through the website.”

Suri said Obama avoided discussing issues such as the

Affordable Care Act in more depth because it’s more difficult for him to claim control over those issues. Suri said Obama may have been intentionally vague when discussing individual privacy and the role of agencies such as the National Security Agency.

“I think he’s walking a fine line — he wants Americans to believe that he will protect their privacy,” Suri said. “At the same time, he wants to preserve the ability of these agencies to do their job.”

Suri said Obama implied he will go around Congress if he has to in order to increase equality for groups.

“He’s implying to his opponents that those at the top have done really well,” Suri said. “I do think that his clear and direct appeal to women is very important, and he did it on the basis of economic equality and on the argument that women need more voice in politics.”

here is the safety of our students, safety of our employees, safety of our professors,” Susswein said.

“When the initial decision was made [to keep the University open], that was based on the best information we had at the time, including discussions with multiple meteorologists.”

Susswein said UT officials spoke with local government agencies and meteorologists at 3 a.m. Tuesday, as per University policy.

“The forecast did not anticipate these sorts of weather conditions,” Suss- Th wein said. “Obviously, weand knew it was going to becon cold, but, at that time, theothe best information we hadbut was that rush hour wouldstud be clear.” mus According to Austinbe r Police Cpl. David Boyd,on c by noon, approximately “W 30 Austin roads had beencret closed. In total, APD forcesthe responded to 274 collisions between midnight and 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Boyd said conditions were comparable to Thursday evening’s ice storm, but there were more people out on the roads Tuesday than there were Thursday.

“The ice really didn’t start falling until the time when people started going to work this morning,” Boyd said. “So people didn’t know what was going to be coming down on the roads today until they actually got out there.”

UT Capital Metro Shuttles suspended service at 1:30 p.m. The Student Activities Center and Texas Union Building also shut down.

Austin Independent School District representatives announced a two-hour delay for all AISD schools Monday night. Classes were canceled altogether at 8:31 a.m. Tuesday.

In their 4:20 a.m. email, University communications officers asked supervisors to work with employees who have children enrolled in AISD schools.

Tuesday also marked the day of the runoff elections for House District 50 between Democrat Celia Israel and Republican Mike VanDeWalle. Individuals involved with the campaigns said the weather would affect voter turnout, which could have an impact on the outcome of the election. Ultimately, voting hours were extended by one hour. Israel defeated VanDeWalle with nearly 60 percent of the vote.

Conley said the proximity of West Campus meant she felt safe driving, but she would not have felt safe travelling from other student-filled neighborhoods.

“I wouldn’t have come if I had to drive up Dean Keeton,” Conley said. “That would’ve been a ‘no.’”

Greek-focused app launches

Pakistani author uses satire to discuss issues

GreekLink, a new social media mobile application targeted toward Greek life at UT, is in the early stages of introduction, but its creator is setting sights high for the future.

During his freshman year, advertising sophomore Ari Gootnick joined the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity and collaborated with friends to develop the initial framework of the app.

“I’m from Los Angeles, and I came to UT and didn’t know anybody. I thought a fraternity would be a good idea to get to know people and to see where it would take me,” Gootnick said.

“The idea came about last spring, probably the last month of school, and so we actually started sitting down and developing the app in the summer.”

One of these friends was Noah Johnson, a business administration sophomore at the University Of Southern California, who is now a co-founder and CEO of GreekLink. Gootnick said he appreciates the dichotomy between the pair’s work styles.

“My partner and I are very different and very similar at the same time. I’m more of the designer, and he’s more of the businessman — the doer,” Gootnick said. “It’s the reason I think we’ve been so compatible.”

Advertising sophomore Ari Gootnick co-developed a new app, GreekLink, to better connect those involved in Greek life.

Johnson said Gootnick possesses some essential qualities for this project. “[Gootnick] is creative and diligent,” Johnson said.

“He’s social enough to create connections within Greek life, and I think he’s working hard enough to make this app naturally take over.”

Gootnick said the process required his team to look critically at how fraternities and sororities communicate.

“We looked at what was flawed in the Greek community,” Gootnick said. “First, there is no central space to share events, so we created a calendar where fraternities and sororities can share

their events. And secondly, we wanted it to be more connected, so we made it into a more social platform where you can comment or post pictures on specific event pages.”

Gootnick said producing the app required crosscultural communication skills to prevent the nuances of Greek culture from being lost in translation.

“We actually found a developer located in Ukraine,” Gootnick said. “They didn’t really understand Greek life at first. It’s actually really funny to describe it to someone who doesn’t know what a fraternity or a sorority is or how they interact with

each other.”

Zeta Beta Tau president Daniel Warner said Gootnick’s initiative speaks to the inventive spirit of the fraternity.

“Any entrepreneurship that impacts the university is a good thing,” Warner said. “We’re glad to be supporting him and we’re eager to see how it connects the brothers in our University.”

Gootnick said he can see the project impacting all students at UT in the future.

“The app is about awareness,” Gootnick said. “Your school can be aware of Greek life, whether you’re directly involved or not.”

“I love having it right there, fresh from the garden when I’m ready to use it,” Mayberry said. “It makes a big difference in quality and flavor.”

The amount of sustainable, local and organic food purchased for the dining halls makes up over 20 percent of the total food budget, Mayberry said.

According to Mayberry, the main supplier of produce for on-campus dorms is US Food Services, and, for the last four to five years, the University has worked with the Sustainable Food Center to use local, small farms.

Not every author can claim his works of fiction are credible enough to dupe the heads of intelligence agencies, but according to Mohammed Hanif, his novels have done just that.

Hanif, a Pakistani author and journalist, spoke in the Avaya Auditorium on Tuesday night about how the political turmoil in Pakistan has shaped his books and allowed him to confront controversial issues through literature.

His books, “A Case of Exploding Mangoes” and “Our Lady of Alice Bhatti,” provide details from his life in Pakistan and satirize divisive issues, such as the plane crash that killed the former Pakistani president or views of Christians in Pakistani society.

Hanif said he often makes his work humorous as a way to provide levity for the people of Pakistan and make controversial issues easier to discuss.

“There’s a long history in Pakistan of making fun of stuff … because we live in such troubled times,” Hanif said. “It comes out of despair. It comes out of a kind of oppression that people know they are trying to live with, but they can’t. [The

books] are a way for people to relate to that.”

International relations junior Myra Ali said she could relate to Hanif ’s work because of a shared ethnic background.

“As a Pakistani, I’m always interested in reading about Pakistan,” Ali said. “It’s in such a limbo all the time, the nation, and I’m always interested to read writers who I share views with, because oftentimes it’s hard to find that sort of material.”

Roanne Kantor, a comparative literature graduate student, said she appreciated Hanif ’s writing for its cultural and literary portrayal of Pakistan and South Asia. “[Hanif has] written a lot journalistically, but also novelistically, and South Asia is really interesting to me, especially to see how it’s represented in literature,” Kantor said.

Hanif said he still can’t believe the impact his books have had on people, especially Pakistani government intelligence officials.

“I’ve had … some [officials] take me into a corner and say, ‘Son, you’ve written a brilliant novel. Now tell me, who’s your source?’” Hanif said. “My God, these people are running my country and they actually believe all the lies that I’ve written.”

The Division of Housing and Food Services has no concrete plans to build another residence hall garden, but it does have a group of students planning a pilot mushroom garden that can be replicated in dark corners on campus.

“We’re like this little concrete island in the middle of the city, but we’re growing

produce at the same time and using students in a way that they can get experience that they wouldn’t have otherwise,” Mangrum said.

Campus executive chef Robert Mayberry said he liked the idea of growing organic produce at the University because he wants to provide more sustainable food to students.

EDITORIAL

Drag’s traffic woes require multiple solutions Editor’s Note: This is the second installment in a two-part series on transportation issues that Longhorns should pay attention to this semester.

On Sunday, Capital Metro launched its new MetroRapid service on the Drag. Featuring green-light priority technology that will reduce the time spent idling at red lights as well as free Wi-Fi on board, local leaders hope that the changes mean bus riders will be able to get where they’re going more quickly and more comfortably.

However, all that convenience doesn’t come cheap: Bus fare on the new service rose to $1.50, from the former $1.00 of the non-express buses, though students can still ride free with a swipe of their ID cards.

A cheaper local route, the new Route 1 Metric/South Congress, will be avilable, but it will face competition from the new MetroRapid 801.

A cheaper local route, the new Route 1 Metric/South Congress, will be available, but it will face competition from the new MetroRapid 801.

Another issue that should give students pause: Part of the reason Project Connect, the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s regional planning initiative, passed over the Drag was that Cap Metro had already taken money from the federal government to build MetroRapid along that route.

The Federal Transit Administration, which helps fund public transportation projects across the country, chipped in $38.1 million, or 80 percent, of the service’s $47.6 million price tag. However, dumping that plan so close to completion in favor of a completely different approach — a rail line — for the Lamar/Guadalupe corridor, which a Project Connect study ranked third in terms of need for transportation improvements, would have angered or, at the very least, perplexed federal officials.

Gross admitted the Guadalupe/Lamar corridor will need additional improvements in the future, but Kyle Keahey, of Project Connect, added, “The Lamar/Guadalupe corridor doesn’t currently have the traffic needed to support steel wheels [urban rail].” In other words, the Drag is set on the transportation front. Project Connect isn’t hanging its hat up yet, though. According to Keahey, the team will review service along key corridors every five years to ensure current needs are being met.

We welcome this continued attention,

HORNS DOWN: LT. GOV. CANDIDATES ALL FOR CREATIONISM At a televised debate in Dallas on Monday night, the four Republican candidates for lieutenant governor — state Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston; Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson; Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples; and incumbent David Dewhurst — squared off on campaign issues ranging from abortion to gun rights, immigration policy and marijuana decriminalization. With only 10 minutes remaining in the hour-long event, moderator Shelley Kofler asked the candidates if creationism belongs in public schools, and their responses were downright disturbing. Despite the fact that the First Amendment patently forbids it, all four candidates came out strongly in support of teaching creationism — or, as its defenders like to call it, “intelligent design” — in public schools. The candidates did concede that students should also learn about evolution, but their insistence that pure religious dogma belongs on the same level as a veritable scientific theory is offensive, especially when cloaked in the alltoo-typical defense of letting students and parents make their own decisions. Horns down, because religion doesn’t belong in science classrooms, or anywhere in the public schools, for that matter.

Despite the fact that the First Amendment patently forbids it, all four candidates came out strongly in support of teaching creationism.

but it seems strange that the city wants to place a rail line along such a lightly traveled route rather than the high-traffic Drag.

As long as UT exists, demand along the Drag will remain constant. So how did the Lamar/Guadalupe corridor finish third in Project Connect’s ranking of corridors?

According to Jace Deloney, a founder and executive committee member of Austinites for Urban Rail Action, the surprising result can be attributed to three factors that he says skewed the results: 1) the exclusion of West Campus from the corridor, 2) the overweighting of percentage growth (rather than absolute density) and 3) the modeling used to project future growth.

On this third point, Deloney explained, “Project Connect used [Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization] projections … Those typically favor large, undeveloped parcels because they’re easy to develop.”

But, Deloney cautioned, Project Connect assumed that these pieces of land would be built on, even if they didn’t have such a guarantee from a developer.

“These figures are aspirational, not predictions,” Deloney said. “They’re not tied to reality.”

Clearly, the Drag and the western edge of campus form a high-density and busy area that already struggles to serves the needs of students to move from one area to another,

To get ahead of the increasing need for transportation to and from campus, we need to consider several projects, even if they overlap. We don’t have to just accept that the traffic issue is too big to solve. and although we are glad the corridor is not being ignored, we still stand by our support for attention to demand where it exists today.

The Drag’s issues will not be solved by any single route — bus or rail — so stopping at either one is just a Band-Aid on the growing problem. Though FTA funding was only part of the reason urban rail failed on the Drag, the use of MetroRapid to the near-term exclusion of rail misses the fundamental fact that both may be needed to solve Austin’s traffic troubles. To get ahead of the increasing need for transportation to and from campus, we need to consider several projects, even if they overlap. We don’t have to just accept that the traffic issue is too big to solve.

HORNS UP: PERRY APPEALS FOR FEDERAL DISASTER RELIEF On Monday, Gov. Rick Perry sent an appeal letter to the White House urging the president to allocate Federal Emergency Management Agency aid to the areas of Central Texas that were damaged by flooding in October and November of last year. Perry estimates the damage adds up to more than $48 million. Though Perry is probably the last person you’d expect to reach out to the federal government for aid, horns up to Perry for putting aside his frustration with the feds and doing what he can to help the Central Texas victims of last year’s flood, even months later.

University’s push for four-year grad rates hurts student choice

LM Otero / Associated Press

Republican Texas lieutenant governor candidates from left, Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, Sen. Dan Patrick, Agricultural Commissioner Todd Staples and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst participate in a debate at KERA studios in Dallas, Monday, Jan. 27, 2014.

HORNS DOWN: CONGRESSMAN SWEARS HE WASN’T MISSING On Monday, U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, was found after a month of unknown whereabouts. Or, as his office is trying to spin it, he merely resurfaced and was never actually missing in the first place. Stockman now claims that he simply left the country to participate in an official visit to the Middle East with the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Though the delegation’s leader, U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-California, confirmed Stockman was traveling with committee, Stockman was absent for longer than his other colleagues on the trip, according to the Dallas Morning News. The unaccounted-for vacation days, however, aren’t the only weird thing about Stockman lately. Though the representative is challenging U.S. Sen. and minority whip John Cornyn in the Texas GOP primary in March, his campaign has only $32,000 in cash on hand, along with $163,000 in debt. He has also been slacking off on his day job, having missed 17 straight votes in the House since Jan. 9, according to the Austin American-Statesman. And his campaign has been dodging questions left, right and center — including those about alleged campaign finance violations. While we’re glad the congressman has safely “resurfaced,” we can’t help but long for the day when Texas politicians will make the news for strong governance and not just for strange behavior.

Last semester, students who had been enrolled for at least four long semesters or had taken 60 hours in residence at UT, whichever came first, became ineligible to transfer into the Moody College of Communication. According to Alexia Apollo, an academic adviser for the School of Undergraduate Studies, the new policy is an overall attempt by the University to improve four-year graduation rates.

UT, while having the highest four-year graduation rate in Texas for a public institution, doesn’t quite hold up to other universities around the country. While this issue arises quite often and is frequently discussed, it still seems to be a serious concern.

Although it might be in students’ best interest financially to graduate from

college in four years, we must ask ourselves what the implications of such a push will be. There are many students who are being rushed to make a decision while not being allowed to explore all the different options available.

Thousands of students go to college every year in search of new experiences. The idea is for them to pursue a major of their interest, but policies like those of the Moody College create unnecessary obstacles, limiting student opportunities.

Besides, there are other possible solutions to increase the graduation rate while not interfering with students’ ability to transfer to different majors.

One possible solution would be a re-evaluation of the core requirements. Students such as Gabriela Sosa, a radio-televisionfilm transfer student from the University of Maryland, have to spend an additional year and more money to take courses that, in essence, offer no real value for their future careers.

“When I got here [UT], I learned I was going to have to take all these extra classes, like four years of Spanish and more history, that aren’t even part of my major,” Sosa said. "It’s frustrating that I am spending more money and an extra year just to get my degree.”

We should be looking at ways to help ensure each student has all the opportunities available to grow and succeed instead of focusing on graduation rates.

Policies like the one created this fall create roadblocks to students who require time to find their calling. College is about selfdiscovery and learning about who you are as a person. There isn’t a time restraint and neither should there be on picking a major, even if that means staying an additional year or two.

Longhorns notch first road win in conference

The women’s basketball team can finally say they’ve won a Big 12 matchup on the road.

Texas had beaten Kansas once before this season, but that was at home. Tuesday’s victory over the Jayhawks was much more than that — it was a road victory.

Until Tuesday night, the Longhorns were winless in conference games on the road this season. Texas had lost each conference road game by single-digit margins, but last night it put Kansas away by double digits in an 80-55 win. When head coach Karen Aston said in a previous postgame conference that “execution down the stretch” and keeping energy up in the final minutes of games would determine the outcomes of the remaining conference matchups, she was right.

The first half was relatively

continues from page 6

tight with 10 lead changes and two ties, but Texas managed to go into the half with a 38-34 lead.

The second period was a completely different story.

Texas kicked up its defense and had the game locked away with 13 minutes to play.

Texas found increased energy in the second half, but both teams were incredibly shot-happy behind the three-point line throughout.

Kansas took 24 shots from the three-point line at 33.3 percent and Texas took 27 at 58.8 percent. In its last meeting, Kansas had a total of 15 three-point attempts to Texas’ 14.

Texas’ defining road win is exactly what the Longhorns needed going into a test at No. 9 Baylor on Saturday. The Longhorns now know they can win on the road and need to channel that confidence and momentum to overcome their biggest challenge of the season — the Bears.

BARNES

Anything can happen under these circumstances, and year after year we see this come to fruition with a variety of comeback

his brother, running back commit D’Onta Foreman, will visit Missouri this weekend. It appears their commitment to Texas is solid, but the Longhorns can’t afford to lose the brothers.

Many believe Texas was hurt by scheduling official

visits while Brown was still in control, which meant recruits’ only chances to visit Austin with Strong were at their own expense.

Considering this and the staff ’s unfamiliarity with recruits, it’s no surprise that this class is suffering from

deflections.

These early struggles in recruiting should not be seen as a reflection of Strong. Texas’ 2015 class will be the first true indication of Strong’s recruiting prowess, and, if he wins, Texas will recruit itself.

stories: underdog teams that make deep runs in the tournament. Over time, it becomes more and more likely that this variance will flatten out and Texas will make another deep run.

Secondly, there tends to be an assumption among fans that coaches can either be characterized as good or bad. This is faulty logic.

Coaches have the ability both to make and learn from

mistakes. Just like their athletes, coaches can take time to develop parts of their game. It could be that Barnes has learned from his past late-game gaffes.

Barnes said he hasn’t had a chance to spend a lot of time with Patterson, but based on his conversations with former head coach Mack Brown, he can trust Patterson to be forthcoming.

“Mack Brown told me

through his conversations with [Patterson] that you can trust him,” Barnes said.

“That he’s a man of his word.”

Barnes will have the opportunity to earn Patterson’s trust with a strong 2014 campaign. If the team can continue its winning ways, the narrative focus will shift to whether Barnes has put the past behind him and prepared his team for an NCAA tournament run.

Barnes deserves another year

SIDELINE NBA SPURS

By Roy Varney

Daily Texan Columnist @royvarney

Texas Athletics is entering a new era. Last fall, the University replaced longtime athletic director DeLoss Dodds with Steve Patterson.

Patterson’s hiring raised the already high expectations for the Longhorns athletics program, and, since his introduction, he made waves with the hiring of head football coach Charlie Strong.

Now that football season is over, many fans are turning their focus to the University’s other big breadwinner: men’s basketball. Rick Barnes is in his 16th season of coaching the men’s team, and after last year’s dismal 16-18 record, the floodgates of speculation have opened with many thinking that this might be Barnes’ final season guiding the Longhorns.

Changes at the head coaching position in NCAA Division I basketball have become extremely common.

Over the last three years, 152 head coaching positions have changed hands. Barnes is well aware of the evolving culture of programs cycling through head coaches as soon as they step foot on their campuses.

“There’s no question that society today is, ‘What have you done lately?’” Barnes said. “But the fact is that you don’t worry about those things. You just do your job, and that’s what we’ll do here.”

Patterson is in the difficult position of having to choose between continuing to pay Barnes like a top-10 coach — Barnes is owed $2.4 million

Texas head coach Rick Barnes has made 14 NCAA tournament apperances in his 16 seasons at Texas, missing only the 2013 tournament. His Longhorns are 16-4, ranked No. 25 this season and seem likely to return to the “Big Dance.”

this year, and his contract runs through 2017 — or firing a man who has won 70.2 percent of his games at Texas. Because of this conundrum, Barnes’ performance this season will likely be under a microscope.

But there’s reason to believe that Patterson will not be as hasty to replace Barnes as he was with Brown. The crux of the argument lies in the team’s recent surge and two common misunderstandings fans have about NCAA basketball.

The basketball team has just knocked off three ranked teams in a row — No. 8 Iowa

State, No. 22 Kansas State and No. 24 Baylor — for the first time in the program’s history.

The Longhorns’ record sits at 16-4, and they are in an excellent position to make the NCAA tournament. This is a pretty big accomplishment for a team that was picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 preseason poll.

Despite lacking major NBA talent along the lines of a Kevin Durant or LaMarcus Aldridge, the Longhorns have shown resiliency in the clutch, as evidenced by Jonathan Holmes’ recent gamewinning jumper against the Wildcats. Certainly, there

will be variance in these types of close-game scenarios — the team has won seven games by three points or fewer — but the ability to pull out these nail-biters could suggest that Barnes’ program has turned a corner.

For many years, Texas has been snake-bitten in the

NCAA tournament. Fans don’t need to be reminded of the epic 2011 loss against Arizona. Much of the blame for Texas’ poor season finishes has been rightly placed on Barnes’ shoulders.

Youthful duo Taylor, Ridley Losses keep coming for pace Longhorns’ resurgence 2014 recruiting class

By David Leffler

Daily Texan Columnist @leffler_david

After nearly three years, the Longhorns men’s basketball team is ranked again.

Texas enters a pivotal week ranked No. 25 in the latest AP poll, a number that will improve if it is able to slay Goliath and defeat No. 6 Kansas on Saturday. With this monstrous matchup looming, the two names every Texas fan needs to know are Cameron Ridley and Isaiah Taylor.

The 6-foot-9-inch, 285-pound Ridley is the first to draw attention. The sophomore center leads the team in rebounding and blocks and is quickly emerging as one of the most dominant centers to ever play for Rick Barnes.

Because of his gargantuan proportions, Ridley often

draws comparisons with former Longhorn center Dexter Pittman. But, when it comes to games, there’s no comparison. Ridley averages 11.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, while also leading the team with 48 blocks — already surpassing his total from last year, when he led the team with 47 — Pittman never averaged 11 points or six rebounds per game.

Ridley’s numbers are far closer to what Tristan Thompson, the fourth-overall pick of the 2011 NBA Draft, posted during his freshman year at Texas. Thompson put up 13.1 points, grabbed 7.8 rebounds and rejected 2.4 shots per game. Ridley is averaging 2.4 blocks-per-game this season, which — along with Thompson — is the highest for any Longhorn player in 14 years.

Freshman point guard Taylor has been equally impressive. He has been a revelation, quickly putting himself in the exclusive company of past elite Texas point guards. This list includes T.J. Ford, Daniel Gibson, D.J.

Augustin, Avery Bradley and Cory Joseph, all of whom played in the NBA. Taylor has been an offensive spark plug, averaging 11.7 points and 3.7 assists per game. Last Saturday’s win over Baylor was his best performance of the season, in which he had a career-high 27 points. Although he has attempted only 11 3-pointers all year, Taylor has had plenty of success attacking the rim — his 6.15 free-throw attempts per game are more than Ford, Gibson, Augustin, Bradley or Joseph ever averaged.

Taylor is averaging more points than Joseph and Ford did their freshman seasons and Taylor has more assists per game than Joseph and Bradley did. He also has a better assist-turnover ratio than Gibson, Joseph and Bradley.

Before Ridley and Taylor burst onto the scene, Texas basketball was at rock bottom. But, with new life and new leadership, this team looks like the real deal. We’ll know for sure if it is after it takes on Kansas this weekend.

Freshman point guard Isaiah Taylor is averaging 11.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game this season, marks that compare well to many former Texas PG greats.

National signing day for college football is Feb. 5, the day on which some high school seniors will sign their letters of intent to play at the next level.

Currently, Texas’ 2014 class sits at 21 commits, seven of which are ranked in the ESPN 300.

The class is headlined by defensive end Derick Roberson and quarterback Jerrod Heard, who are both expected to excel at Texas.

Texas has three early enrollees for the spring: offensive lineman Alex Anderson, linebacker Andrew Beck and JUCO tight end Blake Whiteley.

Looking purely from a ranking standpoint, Texas’ most recent classes — No. 16 in 2013 and, currently, No. 13 in 2014 — are disappointing in comparison to the previous four, which all finished in the top five.

Despite this, the Longhorns’ class still ranks first in the Big 12, one spot ahead of Oklahoma and two ahead of this year’s conference champion, Baylor.

Texas has been plagued by decommitments, something that wasn’t very common for most of former head coach Mack Brown’s tenure.

The 2013 class was highly touted early on, before it lost five commits, including receiver Ricky Seals-Jones to Texas A&M and defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson to Alabama.

These decommitments led Brown to implement a no-visit policy for commits, which wasn’t a very effective deterrent, as players decommitted instead.

Since Brown’s resignation, a handful of players have decommitted, including all

The Longhorns have serious interest in two outof-state former Louisville commits — ESPN 300 defensive tackle Poona Ford and Florida defensive tackle Chris Nelson.

At 6 feet tall, Ford lacks the height one would like at his position, but makes up for it with his ability to pressure the quarterback. Ford took his official visit to Texas recently and is imperative for the 2014 class.

Nelson showed ability to stop the run and plays in a position of need. He made his official visit this past weekend and would help continue new head coach Charlie Strong’s pipeline in Florida.

LONDON — Go ahead — just try to get away with it. If you’re willing to take the risk, you’ll pay the price.

That’s the challenge laid down to drug cheats thinking they can dope their way to success at the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

International Olympic and anti-doping officials are implementing the toughest drug-testing program in Winter Games history, using intelligence to target athletes and events considered most at risk.

Authorities are focusing their efforts on weeding out dopers through rigorous pre-games and pre-competition tests.

Armed with an improved scientific method that can detect drug use going back months rather than days, the International Olympic Committee will conduct a record number of tests.

Urine and blood samples will be stored for eight years for retroactive testing, providing further deterrence to anyone who thinks he or she can avoid being caught.

“I think it would be stupid to try to cheat,” IOC medical director Dr. Richard Budgett said.

DANCE & THEATER

TELEVISION REVIEW | ‘SHERLOCK’

Holmes balanced by resilient Moriarty

By Wyatt Miller @WyattAMiller

Shelby Fry / Daily Texan Staff

Award-winnig choreographer Andrea Ariel watches the conductor for her cue in rehearsal at the Off Center on Friday. Ariel will perform her new show, “The Bowie Project,” this Thursday at the Stateside at the Paramount.

Soundpainting brings art to life

By Kritika Kulshrestha @kritika88

Like many young girls, Andrea Ariel was introduced to dance when her mother encouraged her to take classes.

Ariel learned everything from ballet and tap dance to acrobatics and jazz. Now, she is the artistic director of the Andrea Ariel Dance Theatre in Austin and has been choreographing and teaching dance for more than 20 years.

This Thursday, Ariel and her dance theater group perform at Stateside at the Paramount in a hybrid performance of live music, theater and dance.

Ariel is collaborating with Austin-based David Bowie tribute band Super Creeps and the New York-based Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble on a piece titled “The Bowie Project: A Rock & Roll Soundpainting.”

Ariel and her husband moved to Austin from Champaign, Ill., shortly after Ariel obtained her Master of Fine Arts in Dance from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. She has been performing and working in Austin for almost 25 years now.

“My work is rooted in the heart of what Austin is all about, which is that if you have a creative idea and if you have chutzpah to put behind it to put it out there, this city has the space for you,” Ariel said.

In 1998, Ariel was introduced to the Walter Thompson Orchestra when it performed in Hyde Park Theatre. Founded in 1984, the orchestra set out to explore the possibility of live composing using sign language and the blending of art forms, such as dance, theater, music and physical theater. It was then that Ariel first learned the language of soundpainting.

Soundpainting — a sign language for artists, actors, musicians, visual artists and dancers — is composed of more than 1,200 gestures, which are signed by the soundpainter or conductor to indicate the type of response desired of the performers. The soundpainter composes a hybrid piece in real time, using the responses of the performers and the predefined gestures.

“When I first discovered soundpainting, I realized it was so evocative of your creativity,” Ariel said.

The composer uses what is called the soundpainting syntax to sign predefined gestures that indicate who, what, how and when the performers are to act. Gestures are signed to indicate things like improvisation, stage positions, costumes and length of a musical piece.

“Soundpainting is the perfect fodder for allowing beautiful dance and language to live together in a piece and have many different kinds of relationships to each other,” Ariel

My work is rooted in the heart of what Austin is all about, which is that if you have a creative idea and if you have chutzpah to put behind it to put it out there, this city has the space for you.

—Andrea Ariel, Artistic director, Andrea Ariel Dance Theatre

said. “What’s exciting about it is what it allows: language and movement coming together.”

At the annual Soundpainting Think Tank in Woodstock, N.Y., in 1999, Ariel met Leese Walker, actor and artistic director of New York’s Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble. Ariel and Walker have collaborated on many soundpainting pieces since then.

“She’s a very thoughtful soundpainter,” Walker said, “Because she comes from the dance world, she tends to think very visually. She’s really skilled at finding a meeting place between dance and theater.”

Ariel’s soundpainting meets ’70s glam rock in The Bowie Project, which has been Ariel’s dream for the past five years.

“I had this idea of matching the soundpainting with a thematic band or a tribute band and making it a live-music concert that uses soundpainting and dance and music,” Ariel said. “In The Bowie Project, we have embraced David Bowie, his history and his music.”

It was some time during her research into Bowie’s music that Ariel came across the Bowie-tribute band Super Creeps and approached lead musician Adam Sultan to ask him to collaborate on the soundpainting piece.

“She’s very talented and driven. She understands and works in a lot of different mediums, not just dance, and I think that’s refreshing,” Sultan said. “She brings a lot of creative input into the work that she does. She also likes to investigate the theme of what she’s working on.

She’s done a lot of research about Bowie’s identity.”

Ariel and Sultan are now working to start an Austin soundpainting group, which will serve as an incubator for artists who are interested in working in structured improvisation and learning the soundpainting language.

Through this, Ariel wants to reach out to a wider audience, including the music audiences in Austin and also nurture the connection between New York and Austin by collaborating with Walker’s Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble on a more frequent basis.

“We’re really in uncharted territory with soundpainting,” Walker said. “[Ariel] is very nurturing, extremely supportive, and she really creates an environment for artists to blossom and be their best.”

As season three of BBC’s “Sherlock” came to a close, one shocking development completely turned the tables on the beloved sleuth. Jim Moriarty was alive and rearing to wreak havoc in season four. In honor of the return of the Napoleon of crime, it seems appropriate to dissect the man behind the madness.

Moriarty has been a presence on “Sherlock” since his first name-drop in the pilot episode. This wasn’t a surprise to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fans, as Moriarty is essentially the proverbial Joker to Holmes’ Batman in the classic stories. It wasn’t until the series-one finale that fans finally put a face to the name. Once introduced, the modern incarnation of Moriarty proved to be Holmes’ and Watson’s most diabolically brilliant foe.

His actions guided most of the show until the shocking series-two finale, in which he appeared to kill himself.

This new Moriarty, played with Irish flair by actor Andrew Scott, is the definition of the unexpected. He’s peppy, flamboyant and flirtatious, giving the villain a homoerotic overtone that plays nicely with his adversarial relationship with Holmes. His insidious mind is complemented by his overall unassuming outward appearance, with his short stature and

squirrelly mannerisms.

As the saying goes, a hero is only as good as his villain, and show-runners Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss milk this proverb with patience and sensibility. Like many great heroes and villains, they are essentially the same person.

Through Moriarty, we learn more about Holmes, and, while both are apathetic geniuses with arrogant pride in their abilities, Holmes is the only one with a shred of compassion.

Holmes’ and Moriarty’s relationship operates out of a competitive game of wits that both appear to enjoy greatly. The actual victims often play second fiddle to Holmes’ fascination with Moriarty’s strategy. This proves to be the greatest weakness of the two because neither Holmes nor Moriarty wish to see the other dead. To kill one would rid the other of his only intellectual match.

With consistently stellar performances across the board and thrilling story lines that hook even the most resilient of viewers, “Sherlock” has proven to be one of the most surprisingly enjoyable TV shows airing today. Moriarty’s return raises exciting questions that will keep viewers guessing until season four returns to television screens. Hopefully Moffat and Gatiss can get the ball rolling as soon as possible.
