Longhorns swing No. 7 seed for Big Dance Garrett Callahan @CallahanGarrett

After a 1-year hiatus, Texas heard its name called Sunday evening for a bid in the NCAA Tournament. The Longhorns, who missed the tournament last season for the first time in the Rick Barnes era, grabbed the No. 7 seed in the Midwest region of the tournament. They are set to face No. 10-seed Arizona State on Thursday at the BMO Harris

Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wis. If they advance, the Longhorns will then play the winner of the game between Michigan and Wofford, who are also set to play Thursday. “It’s absolutely great to see our name back on the bracket,” Barnes said. “That’s why we do this, to have a chance to be a part of this tournament. These guys should enjoy it because they’ve earned it. I know they are excited about it.” Texas finished its season

with an overall 23-10 mark and an 11-7 record in Big 12 play, finishing third in the league. The Longhorns, who have earned a bid to the Big Dance in 23 of the last 26 years, sport a 34-33 record in its previous 30 trips to the NCAA Tournament. winning 16 of its 22 opening games. Texas has yet to see Arizona State (21-11, 10-8 Pac12) this season, but the two schools did collide administratively last fall when Texas

poached Steve Patterson from his position at Arizona State to become the new men’s head athletic director of the Longhorns. Sun Devils head coach Herb Sendek also served as an assistant coach to Barnes when the latter was the head coach at Providence University. When the season started, fans had little confidence that Texas would become an NCAA Tournament team,

Just after midnight Thursday, Rashad Owens drove a car through the South By Southwest crowd on Red River Street and hit 23 people in less than a minute, according to police. Three of those victims — Greg Cerna, Maria Belyaeva and Ryan Freeman — are UT sophomores. Here, Cerna, Belyaeva and sophomore Oliver Croomes, who was with them the at the scene, recount their memories of the collision. Greg Cerna Nineteen-year-old Greg Cerna, computer science and electrical engineering sophomore, remembers getting pizza with his friends just before midnight Wednesday night. He remembers agreeing to walk to the Mohawk Bar to see Tyler, the Creator, despite not really being a fan. After that, he said, things get a little blurry. “I remember getting to Red River Street but, after that, just loud noises,” Cerna said. “The next thing I remember really clearly is waking up in the hospital and seeing my aunt’s face.” Cerna suffered a

concussion and received scrapes and bruises all along the right side of his body after being hit. His head gash is now marked by nine metal staples. Cerna’s friend Croomes, who was at the scene but did not get hit, said he believes Cerna was carried up the block by the hood of the car. “We had to walk toward people at the next intersection — that’s when I first saw [Cerna],” Croomes said. “I thought maybe he was dead.” Cerna, who spoke slowly on Sunday, searching for words he has trouble remembering, said he is still in disbelief when he thinks about the reality of the collision. “I never thought it was the kind of thing that could happen,” Cerna said. “And, like, to me.”

Greg Cerna, computer science and electrical engineering sophomore, suffered a concussion and received scrapes and bruises along his right side after being hit by a car at SXSW Thursday.

Travis County district judges issued a formal arrest warrant Friday afternoon for 21-year-old Rashad Charjuan Owens, who has been accused of driving his car through a crowded area of downtown during South By Southwest activities, killing two people and injuring 23 others. Owens was charged with one count of capital murder, and his bond has been set at $3 million. At least two people died and 23 were injured after Owens’ car ran through the intersection of Ninth and Red River streets during SXSW just past midnight Thursday, according to the Austin Police Department. The two individuals killed were 35-year-old Steven Craenmehr and 27-year-old Jamie Ranae West. West’s husband, Evan West, is among those who were injured and transported to the hospital. The incident took place right outside The Mohawk, a bar and live music venue. According to the police

Festival growth raises questions about safety By Eleanor Dearman @ellydearman

Mengwen Cao / Daily Texan Staff

Festival attendees try to get into a show Thursday night on Sixth Street. City services braced for the influx of Austin visitors, as many hotels were filled to capacity.

South By Southwest has grown from a 700-person festival in 1987 to one of the largest festivals in the world. This year, SXSW featured more than 2,000 musicians and drew celebrities and thousands of guests to Austin, posing a greater risk to guest safety. “The city is definitely bursting at its seams a little

bit every time South By comes,” said Robert Quigley, journalism lecturer and long-time SXSW guest. “We enjoy having all these visitors in town, but I think at some point, they are going to run out of hotel space and places to hold their events.” Early Thursday morning, Rashad Owens crashed through barricades on Red River Street, killing two pedestrians and injuring more than 20 others.

Even with blocked-off streets for pedestrian traffic and security presence, incidents, such as the one on Thursday, are still a possibility. Dan Solomon, a reporter for Texas Monthly, has been attending the festival fairly regularly since 2000 and covered this year’s festival. “That accident sounds like it was one of those outlier incidents that you can’t prepare

for,” Solomon said. “At the same time, I think that the size of things kind of opens it up to things not going as planned.” Quigley said he believes accidents like Thursday’s could happen any time, not only during SXSW. He was unable to attend this year’s festival but has been following the events on the news. “It could have happened

CORRECTION Because of an editing error, a story in the March 6 issue of The Daily Texan incorrectly stated that Kesha Rogers had called for Barack Obama's execution. Kesha Rogers' staff created a video in 2012 that suggested Obama's doctor "administer some pentothal of sodium," a drug commonly used in lethal injections.

RESEARCH

According to the American Gap Association, students are increasingly deciding to take a gap year before coming to college, and recent data show they could be greatly benefitting from this. The American Gap Association cited an independent study of 280 gap-year students that said burnout from the pressure of high school and a desire to learn more about themselves were the top two reasons to take time off before attending school. According to the study, students who took gap years gained a better selfunderstanding, were more committed to their chosen major and gained skills that contributed to their careers.

sociology and women’s and gender studies associate professor, said she suspects the mentality of the students who decide to take gap years plays a big part in the advantages associated with it. “Taking time off and figuring out what you want to do, likely, has all kinds of benefits, but the real advantage comes from having the foresight and support to forego what is expected and do something different,” Cavanagh said. ”

Anna Biondi, social work and Plan II freshman, said she spontaneously decided to take a gap year after she had been accepted to UT. Biondi spent her year off in England volunteering at a boarding schools. She said her time off helped confirm that social work is what she wanted to do. “The biggest benefit of taking a gap year was getting to experience a year of life on my own in another country,” Biondi said. “I gained perspective

and had an experience unique to that of my peers.” Mathematics freshman Erika Herod said she forced herself into a gap semester after realizing she had no motivation to go to any of the colleges that had accepted her. “It started off as being something that I had to do because I hadn’t chosen a college, but it turned out to be the best seven months of my life,” Herod said.

Crash disheartens festival’s Student organizations help attendees, dampens morale with relief donation efforts By Sam Hays

Daily Texan Columnist @samingtonhays

The most eye-opening moments — the moments when we are most capable of important and necessary reflection — are the moments when life stands still. During this year’s South By Southwest, that stand-still moment came in the form of a screeching halt. Early Thursday morning, outside the Mohawk and Cheer-Up Charlie’s, a drunk driver drove through a busy crowd, killing two people and injuring 23, including the driver himself. As a SXSW attendee, to say that it left a bad taste in my mouth would be a gross understatement. It left me devastated and stunned. Austinites and out-of-towners alike were left in disbelief. Life actually was standing still, and we were left to piece together and make sense of the inexplicable. The crazy, we-are-all-invincible illusion that SXSW creates was instantly debunked in the most horrific way. The pain hits us harder because of how indisputably relatable we all are to the incident’s victims. We were all there for the music. We were all trying to get through the

busy streets. I was on Ninth and Red River streets mere minutes before the incident happened. As fellow SXSW attendees, it’s hard to shake the thought that it could have been us because, in a way, it happened to all of us — the SXSW music community. The collision did more than put mortality into perspective, though. It changed my perception of the entirety of SXSW. It started when I was sprinting down Ninth Street to get to the press conference that was slated to start at 2 a.m. I was struck by the stark contrast to how I had seen Red River Street just a few hours before. The roaring, happy crowds were gone. The music that permeated every corner of downtown Austin had stopped. The silent street was barren, except for the eerie sight of yellow police tape and flashing red and blue lights. From that point on, SXSW felt a little off-putting. The things that normally come with SXSW, like the ubiquitous advertisements and marketing ploys, now felt disrespectful, considering what had happened. It’s hard to feel the weight of two deaths and nearly two dozen injuries when festival attendees were attending

shows and seeking out free drinks just as they were the night before. SXSW kept going, but it was hard to tell whether it kept going because this festival is just too big to be stopped or because SXSW simply had no choice but to go on. Thursday, the day after the collision, Cheer-Up Charlie’s and The Mohawk canceled their day events, appropriately, but even after they opened back up for business Thursday night, there was a palpable awareness in the crowd. It was this feeling that we were standing in the exact spot where, shorter than a day before, a tragedy took place. The festival didn’t seem like this beast to conquer anymore. It just felt wrong, to some degree, that we couldn’t take a day off to fully absorb and digest the previous night’s terrible events. Now that the festival is over, we can fully take in what has happened and figure out how we want to view future SXSW festivals. There will, undoubtably, be the same level of hype, if not more, as the festival grows past its already colossal size, but, to me, SXSW will always carry an asterisk next to its name.

Austin suffered a tragic blow this spring break after a drunk driver at South By Southwest left two people dead and 23 people — including himself — injured early Thursday morning. News of the crash quickly spread through the UT community, inspiring students to take action. UT’s chapter of the Sigma Pi fraternity started taking donations soon after the incident, becoming one of the first organizations to raise money for the victims of the crash, according to David Maly, economics and journalism senior and the philanthropy chair for Sigma Pi. Maly said he posted on his fraternity’s Facebook group in the morning and people were on board. “We think it’s a really important cause that’s really close to home for us,” said Maly, who formerly worked at The Daily Texan. It was when he tried contacting SXSW about his fundraiser that he found out about SXSW Cares, a fund created by SXSW and venues such as the Mohawk and Cheer Up Charlie’s.

“We started this before anybody else really had anything going, and then, after they made that fund, it seemed like a good way to give it to the people,” Maly said. “We have the online effort and we’re going to try and table and reach out to local businesses. If anyone comes up with any other ideas, we’ll definitely explore them.” All the money raised by the Sigma Pi fraternity will be donated to SXSW Cares, adding even more to the $75,000 SXSW Cares received in its first 24 hours of operation. As of Sunday night, Sigma Pi had raised almost $400 through an online campaign on gofundme.com. The relief effort is not exclusive to raising money. After the incident, the hospital received an influx of patients, putting blood donations in high demand. With blood drives happening frequently on campus, Sigma Pi didn’t have to look far for an appropriately timed event. The Dean’s Scholars Honors Program holds an annual blood drive called Give Blood Give Life. Alice Tong, biochemistry

and chemical engineering senior and the organizer of Give Blood Give Life, partnered with Maly to dedicate the blood drive to the victims of the crash. “Our organization has a blood drive every year around this time, so this had already been in the plans for months,” Tong said. “After the accident happened, especially after [Maly] contacted us, we realized it would have a greater impact, and we would be able to reach more people if we teamed up with him and his organization.” The Dean’s Scholars’ Give Blood Give Life event will be held Tuesday at the Speedway Plaza in front of the Student Activity Center. “Regardless, it’s for a good cause, but, after the crash, it’s more important than ever for the blood banks to be restocked,” Tong said. Maly said he was glad Sigma Pi could help. “This happened about a mile away from where we go to school, and these people were just walking down the street,” Maly said. “I’m glad that we could do something to help and [that] we’re just going to keep trying to do what we can.”

ACCIDENT

rate of speed,” Acevedo said. Owens drove through police-patrolled barricades to speed through Red River Street. “The suspect driver then accelerated down Red RiverStreet and, at a high rate of speed, struck multiple pedestrians,” Acevedo said. Mike Benavides, Travis County Emergency Medical Services spokesman, said Travis County EMS were prepared and had resources dedicated to SXSW patrol. “This traffic management plan is a plan that has worked for years,” Benavides said. Acevedo said the incident was unlike anything he had seen before as police chief. “Nothing like this has happened at SXSW in the seven years [I’ve] been chief officer,” Acevedo said.

Maria Belyaeva, a computer science and radio-television-film sophomore, was hit from behind by the car Thursday.

The car missed computer science sophomore Oliver Croomes, but he recalls trying to find his friends in the following chaos.

SURVIVORS

Oliver Croomes Computer science sophomore Oliver Croomes has no idea where the bloodstained Mohawk Bar t-shirt on his blue living room table came from. Someone handed it to him after the crash, but Croomes said no one was shirtless, and he was in shock. Croomes, who was walking along Red River Street with Cerna, Belyaeva and Freeman at the time of the crash, did not actually get hit by the gray Honda. Instead, he watched his three friends bear the brunt of the collision. Initially, he could not find them in the chaos. “I remember thinking, I hope no one’s dead,” Croomes said. “I saw [Maria]

continues from page 1 Maria Belyaeva Maria Belyaeva’s body is covered with yellowing bruises and tiny cuts just starting to scab over. She has a sprained ankle, concealed bruises on her skull and several staples on the back of her head holding together a larger cut. Belyaeva, computer science and radio-televisionfilm sophomore, said she was one of the first people hit by the car. “It hit us from behind,” Belyaeva said. “I was told he accelerated afterwards, which is scary. I remember waking up, and somebody was holding my hand, and someone else was hold-

ing my neck. It was dark, and they told me that I had been hit by a car, but I kind of thought they were kidding because I didn’t feel anything. I mean, my head hurt a little bit, but that was pretty much it.” Belyaeva said she feels Owens, who is accused of driving the car, should see strict repercussions for his actions. “I think he deserves a really harsh punishment,” Belyaeva said. “I know he was drunk, but that’s never really an excuse to be like ‘Oh, maybe I should go through this barricaded street through all of these people.’ He should accept the consequences of his actions, whatever they may be.”

first — I didn’t see her moving, so that freaked me out, but at least I knew she was there. I found [Freeman] on the opposite side of the street, but then — where the fuck was [Cerna]?” Croomes said he was surprised by how quickly the collision was over. “When you imagine situations like that, you feel like you’ll have some sort of time to escape, or help yourself,” Croomes said. “It just happens way, way too quickly.” Cromes said, since the crash, he has a new awareness of mortality. “I’ve been thinking about death a lot lately, [and now] I guess I kind of have a phobia of cars,” Croomes said. “But I’m OK.”

Hotels, CapMetro reach capacity during festival By Alyssa Mahoney @TheAlyssaM

As South By Southwest 2014 comes to a close, business managers and Austin transportation officials expect data to reveal record numbers of visitors and passengers. The AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center — the only hotel and conference center on the University campus — was at nearfull capacity during the festival, according to Keith Purcell, sales and marketing director.

“The hotel’s very busy because we’re sold out, but our conference center is pretty much empty,” Purcell said. Purcell said management staff shifted the hotel’s hours of operation to accommodate different groups. “Interactive starts early, so we opened our coffee shop early,” Purcell said. During the 2013 SXSW festival, Capital Metro had a record number of riders and an increase of almost 40 percent on MetroRail, according to CapMetro spokeswoman Melissa

Ayala. Data for this year’s festival were not available as of press time. In anticipation of significant transportation demand during this year’s festival, Ayala said CapMetro extended operation hours and added extra trains that picked up passengers at the end of the night. Ayala said CapMetro also added 1,500 hours of bus service along several routes and determined specific route detours based on street access, congestion and route directness.

Jason Zielinski, spokesman at AustinBergstrom International Airport, said March is typically a busy month for the airport. “We’re getting more flights,” Zielinski said. “We’re getting more airlines.” Zielinski said the airport has large crowds on the last two days of the festival. According to Zielinski, airlines at Austin airport had a record 10 million passengers last year. Zielinski said, so far, passenger traffic in March has increased by 6 percent compared to March 2013.

affidavit, Owens attempted to evade police because there were other warrants out for his arrest. “Owens … said that he got scared because he has warrants and didn’t want to go to jail for 5 years for something he didn’t do,” the affidavit said. “Owens said that he has kidnapping warrants and explained that he was part of a custody battle for his daughter.” In a joint press conference, APD Police Chief Art Acevedo and Harry Evans, Austin Fire Department chief of staff, said the incident began when an APD officer initiated a traffic stop outside the Shell Gas Station on the intersection of I-35 and Ninth Street. When APD officers tried to overtake the vehicle, Owens took a right turn down Red River Street at a “high

GROWTH

continues from page 1 on a weekend where there is no festival because in Austin, there are big shows on Red River all the time, so it’s not really connected to South By in my mind,” Quigley said. One of the concerns being raised by the wreck at this year’s festival is whether or not the event has finally met its maximum capacity. SXSW is scattered in bars, clubs and even churches around the densest areas of Austin. This creates increased street traffic but hasn’t really been more than an annoyance before this year. Despite the hazards of having so many people spread around the city in small venues, this upclose experience offers a more personal setting in comparison to festivals including the Austin City Limits Music Festival, which are limited to one area, such as a park. “At ACL, it’s cool but watching people from a football field away — I’ve done that,” Solomon said. “It doesn’t feel like a unique experience.” The City of Austin recognizes the inherent challenges that come with a crowded, widespread festival and continues to monitor attendee safety and adjust accordingly. “Keeping our visitors and residents safe is, and continues to be, our

number one priority,” Carlos Cordova, a City of Austin spokesman, said in an email. “The City does a tremendous job handling SXSW, Formula One, ACL Music Festival and other large events. Much like these events continue to evolve each year, we are constantly reviewing how we can improve our practices. As with any event, we will engage in a thorough review of our practices once SXSW has concluded and make any necessary adjustments.” One of the challenges with SXSW is balancing its increased foot and car traffic with Austin’s everyday, already busy streets. Prior to the crash on Thursday, the festival had barricades set up routing traffic, which had created a safer pedestrian environment in the past. “It is hard to say that if they had done ‘X’ instead of ‘Y’ that they would have been safer,” Solomon said. “In this particular incident, yeah, they could have had a concrete barrier, but let’s say someone has a heart attack on Red River, and they need to get them out of there, and they can’t get an ambulance through.” After Thursday’s incident, cones were set up to create crosswalks with volunteers directing traffic. Police were also stationed along the barricades at Red River to increase guest and resident safety.

QUOTES TO NOTE

Quotes to note: SXSW crash, chancellor search “If Wallace Hall has been pushing Chancellor Cigarroa to do something that isn’t in the UT System’s best interest — which is what Mr. Foster’s email says — it warrants investigation by our committee. … I am now concerned that Mr. Hall’s abuse of his office may have led to the departure of a good friend of mine and an outstanding chancellor.” — State Rep. Lyle Larson, R-San Antonio, in a statement made Friday after the Dallas Morning News published portions of an email hinting that UT System Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa, who resigned Feb. 10, did so amidst criticism of his job performance from Regent Wallace Hall. Hall is currently under investigation by a special committee of the State Legislature. “I feel it is important to convey to you that I do not agree with the inference that ‘you have not done your job.’ Nor do I believe that it is the sentiment of the other members of the board.” — Regent Paul Foster in the email sent to Cigarroa on Feb. 5, five days before the chancellor’s resignation. Portions of the email were published by the Dallas Morning News on Thursday. “Let me first say this is the board’s choice. [The board will] go through a process, as they should. It’s up to them to choose the chancellor, and I’m confident we’ll get a

good chancellor. … I’ve known Kyle [Janeck, Gov. Perry’s recommendation for chancellor] for a long time. I think he is an excellent person. If he were the chancellor, I would look forward to working with him.” — UT Austin President William Powers Jr. to the Texas Tribune on Thursday in response to the Board of Regents’ decision to hire an executive search firm to help in the process of finding Chancellor Cigarroa’s replacement. “As much as we would just like to go home and spend time absorbing the shock of this horrific event, we feel our best use is to continue operating.” — SXSW Managing Director Roland Swenson speaking Thursday on how the festival would be continuing after a car crash injured more than 20 pedestrians and killed two people in the downtown area early Thursday morning. “You cannot stop a person that decides, rather than face potential drunk driving charges, at a high rate of speed, shows total disregard for human life. That’s why we will be charging two counts of capital murder.” — Police Chief Art Acevedo speaking Thursday about the charges against the then-unidentified driver who caused the car crash, 21-year-old Rashad Charjuan Owens, who was evading an attempted traffic stop by police when the crash happened.

Non-traditional students need more support to succeed at UT By Alyssa Neilson Guest Columnist @AlyssaNeilson

Walking around campus, a majority of the crowd you see appears to be within the more “traditional” group of college students: young and enrolled in a four-year degree program at the University, having left home for college at 18. However, this sort of college student is part of a diminishing majority. I, myself, am one of those traditional students. But I often wonder how students in their 30s and 40s are able to balance their home lives with the workload that studying at UT entails, as many traditional students lacking familial obligations often struggle on the journey to attaining their degrees without these burdens. For evidence of this, look no further than the statistics President William Powers Jr. quoted in his State of the University address in September of 2012: that year, only 52 percent of UT undergraduates graduated in four years. Many initiatives have been recently promoted on campus to increase this percentage among first-time-in-college undergraduates, including the new registration classification system. But if the University wants to meet metrics for educational success that go beyond graduation rates, it must ensure that it is able to offer the same amount of resources and level of attention to its “non-traditional” student population as to its younger, more traditional college students.

If the University wants to meet metrics for educational success that go beyond graduation rates, it must ensure that it is able to offer the same amount of resources... to its non-traditional student population.

At a majority of American universities, administrators are failing to support the adult-student population. Students who are beyond their 20s, are financially independent and have full-time jobs and children do not get the academic flexibility and support that they need to complete their degrees. It’s hard to say how badly this problem affects UT in particular, as the University doesn’t specifically require students to include whether they have children or other employment in the application process. Consequently, there is no specific statistic on non-traditional students currently enrolled at UT, and the definition of nontraditional students itself deserves clarification by the University. But, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 2011 there were 18 million undergraduates enrolled in higher education institutions nationwide. 37 percent of those students worked full-time, 33.2 percent were over the age of 25 and 21.5 percent were over 30. Of course, there are ways to get around the typical, hectic daytime schedule of a university student. Nowadays, students who may have different sets of circumstances that lend themselves to evening classes or online courses. But that doesn’t solve one large logistical problem for non-traditional college students: A majority of University offices are closed by the time that these students are available to visit them. Part-time students are also typically not able to receive the same financial benefits — scholarships and grants — as full-time students, who are typically younger and not financially independent. This is to say nothing about the lack of engagement that online courses, though available at any time of day, offer to students. As UT continues to diversify its mission, it would do well to consider which resources it can offer to non-traditional students, and, if those students deserve to be judged by the same standards of success — such as graduating in four years — that “traditional” students are. Whatever the University decides to do, they cannot ignore this demographic for much longer. Neilson is a public relations junior from Houston.

The Institutional Review Board may sound like a distant federal agency, but it is a part of completing research at this University, and its byzantine regulations are the stuff of legend. If you are a student doing any sort of work with human beings for your thesis, from interviews to surveys, you will have to talk to the board soon (mid-March to early April for summer approval) to finalize a long and bureaucratic approval process. Ask a professor about the IRB, and they will tell you that the office is “a world apart” from the rest of the University. Graduate students might tell you that world is one of archaic online systems and unnecessarily dry compliance modules. Although the IRB is important for regulating research, it can seem more like an unnecessary burden than a legitimate watchdog. But the IRB is necessary for conducting quality research, and its lack of funding and perceived impotence unnecessarily harms students’ enthusiasm for gaining valuable research experience. The IRB’s purpose is to ensure that information collected from human subjects for research projects is done so with those subjects’ knowledge and expressed consent. To a certain degree, they also have leeway to vet the methodology of University students and faculty and to give advice as to how to improve research design. The board exists to prevent national and international research abuse, such as the time when U.S.-backed syphilis experiments in Guatemala between 1946-48 in which 1,300 Guatemalans were infected with syphilis and other STDs without their consent. Although the paperwork and review process is a pain, IRB regulations protect research subjects. And for many students, having a steady hand doublechecking their work can help them avoid larger academic headaches as well as nasty lawsuits for the University.

Although the paperwork and review process is a pain, IRB regulations protect research subjects. But weighty regulations don’t always mesh well with international research. When, as an undergraduate at UT, I sought opinions on films relating to my thesis on Argentine cinema from Argentine nationals, the consent process brought charges of “U.S. imperialism” from my subjects. Adult participants, who only had to verbally agree to participate, would roll their eyes upon seeing the long information letter I gave them. “Why does a U.S. university insist upon imposing its standards and consent concerns on researchers who have to work in Argentina? Why do I have to read a form to answer questions about a movie?” one person asked. The IRB was for them a symbol of the U.S. penchant for avoiding lawsuits through a mountain of paperwork for even small endeavors and the U.S.’s perceived tendency to impose its standards well outside its borders. A few other oddities complicate applying for IRB regulations when completing international research. The IRB, for instance, only has consent form templates for English and Spanish. The researcher is responsible for drafting consent forms for any other language needed. Many times, regulators go on the “honor system” that the forms are accurate, because the IRB does not have the language experts needed to review documents in languages besides English and Spanish. One casualty, I suppose, of decreasing state support for universities. Rules regarding future data use are also vague. For example, the IRB can construe proposals to limit students’ research results to their theses only, forcing the students to seek approval for further use of data already collected. When I spoke to sociology professor Mary Rose, she said she understood the importance of making sure data collection ensures privacy and is used ethically. She was surprised at that limitation, saying her team published several articles using one data set on jury decision making without putting in a specific request for each use. Another problem with the IRB: Many times, a handful of reviewers get stuck reviewing hundreds of tedious applications in a period of a couple of months, meaning delayed approvals and cursory feedback on proposal design. But ultimately, research watchdogs like the IRB like to remind us that procedures and consent are about human dignity and not just avoiding liability. Clear and concise regulations, more funding, more staff and closer collaboration could help make that notion more of a reality for students and professors doing research.

Flexible scheduling captures festival’s spontaneity By Sam Hays, Lauren L’Amie, David Sackllah & Hannah Smothers @DailyTexanArts

The music portion of South By Southwest is the most unpredictable aspect of the festival. Unlike traditional music festivals such as Austin City Limits or Fun Fun Fun Fest, where schedules are solidified months in advance and seldom change, the schedule given out by SXSW is more of a general guide. There’s no telling when and where Kanye West, Lady Gaga or De La Soul might show up, and half the fun of the music festival is being in the right place at the right time when a surprise guest appears. This year’s festival had its share of surprise performances and hyper-exclusive sets that SXSW has become known for in recent years. For the lucky Samsung Galaxy owners and winners of a ticket lottery, Kanye West performed with Jay-Z at Austin Music Hall. Those who made it to The Mobile Movement showcase caught a glimpse of Lady Gaga running the light show. The Daily Texan made a list of the best shows of each day of SXSW. Monday

AT&T Interactive Music Showcase at The Mobile Movement Arguably one of the most rumor-filled nights of SXSW, AT&T hosted DJ Shadow, Machinedrum and Reggie Watts. The venue featured several nights of music in the interactive warehouse on Cesar Chavez Street, all leading up to Monday’s rumors of a secret Lady Gaga or Kanye performance, both of which were just that: infamous SXSW rumors. The lineup kicked off with the always innovative comedian-musician Reggie Watts beat boxing his way through a lively set, leaving room for one-liners between each song. DJ Travis Stewart, performing under the name Machinedrum, followed Watts in what felt like the longest but most cohesive set at SXSW as Twitter was flooded with pictures of Lady Gaga in the building. The rumors were dissuaded altogether just before DJ Shadow’s energetic set, leaving the audience dancing through an impressively artistic, beatheavy performance. Tuesday Pitchfork Show No Mercy Showcase at Mohawk Mohawk hosted a showcase that displayed the full potential of what SXSW can

be. Highlights included the slow-churning Indian from Chicago and Los Angeles’ Youth Code, a dark electronic act that put on a highly energetic set that resembled a much better version of Sleigh Bells. The best of the night were Brooklyn’s Sannhet, who won over a small crowd with striking visuals and grand and sweeping instrumental black metal, and Texas’s own Power Trip, who delivered the most intense set of the entire week. Vocalist Riley Gale

opened the set by announcing that he had just found out a close friend passed away, but that the band was just going to play through it and try not to think about it and, in turn, delivered an extremely heavy and emotional set that easily had the most energetic pit that’s taken place at an official showcase. Wednesday Kanye West and Jay-Z at Austin Music Hall The first joint perfor-

mance in two years from rap’s biggest stars made for one of the biggest sets of the week, but, because of poor planning, it was almost a disaster. Samsung, which put on the show, gave out wristbands that “guaranteed entry” to more people than the venue could hold. Hundreds outside left in anger when the fire marshal announced a “one in, one out” policy before half of the people in line with wristbands had entered. Kanye and Jay-Z es-

sentially played greatest hits sets. At one point, each stood on large installations on opposite sides of the venue and went back and forth, playing hits such as “Runaway” and “Dirt Off Your Shoulder.” The two reunited onstage together at the end for fan favorites such as “Gold Digger” before launching into “Niggas In Paris” three times in a row. The fans that made it in were treated to an incredible, rare show from Kanye and Jay-Z.

SXSW Film continues to draw enthusiastic crowds By Alex Williams @AlexWilliamsDT

South By Southwest Film is the connective tissue of SXSW. While the Interactive portion takes up the first half of the nine-day festival, and Music renders Sixth Street a bastion of pot smoke and Doritos sweat for the back half, Film spans the entire festival and offers an uncompromising test to the endurance of every attendee. While some of the best films at the festival were carryovers from the Sundance Film Festival, highlights like “Housebound,” “Long Distance” and “Exists” had their first screenings at SXSW. The combination of proven titles from other festivals and strong world premieres resulted in a wide range of exceptional films that kept fans lining up long after crowds have thinned in previous years.

Some of the best films at this year’s festival were also among its hottest tickets. After its first screening was canceled, “The Raid 2” screened to a packed house in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The film assaulted the audience at Paramount Theatre with a barrage of broken bones and knife wounds, go along with an imploding head. The film quickly established itself as an instant action classic. Richard Linklater’s “Boyhood” was also among the best of the festival, and Linklater’s unusual approach to the film could be a genuine game-changer. He filmed his coming-of-age epic over 12 years, tracking the growth of stars Ellar Coltrane and Lorelei Linklater from pintsized kids to borderline adults. It’s a tremendously effective method, and Linklater deserves endless

commendation for his creative, achingly honest storytelling achievement. The most fun a festival attendee can have at SXSW Film is the midnight movies, which are generally a great, bloody palette cleanser for the day. Audience Award winner “Exists” had the honor of being the sole film screened in the final midnight slot of SXSW and was a great way to close out the week. “The Blair Witch Project” co-director Eduardo Sanchez returns to familiar territory with his story of a handful of kids headed to a cabin in the woods, only to encounter a violent Bigfoot once night falls. While “Exists” has paper-thin characters and falls into many of the tropes of the horror film, it can boast a few memorable and surprising jump scares and shows an encouraging amount of en-

thusiasm in showing its fairly terrifying monster. Even better in the Midnighters lineup was Adam Wingard’s “The Guest.” Featuring former “Downton Abbey” star Dan Stevens in a star-making performance, Wingard’s follow-up to “You’re Next” felt like a top-notch version of a cableready ’90s thriller, mixing the vibes of “Halloween” and “The Terminator” with the festival’s best soundtrack. The best genre film at SXSW this year wasn’t even in the midnighters category: the New Zealand haunted house story “Housebound,” starring Morgana O’Reilly as a miscreant sentenced to eight months under house arrest in her mother’s home. One of the great surprises of this year’s line-up, “Housebound” is a dryly comedic bit of pulpy fun,

with its scares unfolding as organically as its twisty but naturally escalating plot. Whether a film was a new work by an acclaimed director or a surprising debut from a fresh new voice, there’s nothing quite as exhilarating as settling into one of the 1200 seats at the

BASEBALL | TEXAS 1, KANSAS 6

Big 12 win still eludes Texas By Evan Berkowitz @Evan_Berkowitz

Ninth-inning troubles plagued the Longhorns this weekend at its conference opener, as it fell to Kansas 6-1 in the deciding match Sunday and lost the series 2-1. Texas has now lost 12 straight conference series dating back to April 2012. It looked as though senior outfielder Mark Payton saved the day for the Longhorns, but then everything turned sour. For the third time in the Big 12 season opener against Kansas, the Texas offense struggled to push runs across the plate. It scored just two runs in each of the first two games, splitting the pair before Kansas senior pitcher Frank Duncan shut down the Longhorns on Sunday, allowing no runs on just four hits in his seven innings. Texas battled back Sunday in the eighth when sophomore outfielder Ben Johnson lined a two-out single to right, setting the stage for Payton. Payton lined an inside pitch off the left field wall, and Johnson just beat the throw home to tie the game. But Kansas regained the lead on a leadoff double as four Longhorn pitchers allowed five runs in the

Hitting 4-for-9 against Kansas this weekend, senior outfielder Mark Payton extended his national-record reached-base streak to 60 games Sunday. But reaching base wasn’t enough for Texas, who stranded three runners on second with no outs in the series.

ninth. Freshman pitcher Morgan Cooper took the loss. “The ninth inning was a disaster all the way around,” head coach Augie Garrido said. “We have to bounce back.”

Texas began the series Friday with a 3-2 loss behind junior pitcher Parker French (22). French allowed three earned runs on seven hits in 5.1 innings, and Texas managed just

six hits against Kansas sophomore leftie Wes Benjamin (30). Sophomore shortstop C.J. Hinojosa and freshman catcher Tres Barerra, who debuted at first base, brought in RBIs.

The Longhorns tied the series with a 2-1 win Saturday, jumping out early with two unearned runs. Junior pitcher Dillon Peters (2-1) allowed just one run in 7.1 innings.

Horns’ hopes high for Selection Monday By Rachel Wenzlaff @RachelWenzlaff

Texas had high hopes for the 2014 Big 12 Conference Championship after turning around a 2012-2013 season, from when they finished second to last in the conference to stealing the No. 3 seed in this year’s tournament. Head coach Karen Aston said

hitting the 20-win mark this season symbolized the team’s growth. Despite all that, Texas fell 60-67 to West Virginia on March 9 in the Big 12 Championship semifinals. The Mountaineers came three points short of a conference title the next night against No. 1 Baylor, which earned its fourth consecutive Big 12 championship.

Though Texas did not finish a Big 12 title contender, its run isn’t over. Aston and the Longhorns are still hopeful for the NCAA tournament. Charlie Creme, who writes about the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament for ESPN, predicted Texas as a No. 5 seed. “Twenty wins is usually a benchmark for going to the

MEN’S BASKETBALL | TEXAS 69, BAYLOR 86

NCAA tournament,” Aston said. “I felt like we were in [the tournament] after the TCU game, but I think this would solidify that probably, and the fact that we’re now finishing third in the league — sole possession of third; it was one of our goals. We have a lot of goals that we have accomplished, so it means that we’re moving forward.”

Sophomore guard Celina Rodrigo thinks the team’s bench contributes to its success. “We have a lot of depth and on any given night; any player could step up,” sophomore guard Celina Rodrigo said after Texas fell to the Mountaineers. “We were able to come back and almost get the lead.” The NCAA Selection Show begins 6 p.m. Monday.

Texas offense struggles, drops conference semifinal to Baylor By Stefan Scrafield @stefanscrafield

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sophomore guard Javan Felix has struggled at times this year, sophomore center Cameron Ridley has the occasional off night, and freshman guard Isaiah Taylor is currently on a cold streak of his own. But one man has been the emblem of consistency for Texas this season: junior forward Jonathan Holmes. That was not the case on Friday, when Baylor held Holmes to only two points in the first half and finished with just 6 points on 12 field-goal attempts. The forward’s rare inefficiency, combined with many struggles from teammates, resulted in Texas dropping an 86–69 decision to Baylor in the Big 12 semifinals at the Sprint Center.

“We didn’t execute on offense and we didn’t keep them off the board on defense,” Holmes said. “So they were tougher than us tonight.” Holmes’ poor performance was most uncharacteristic, but he was just one of many Texas scorers who was handcuffed by Baylor’s 1-1-3 zone defense. The Longhorns appeared perplexed by the scheme, failing to find open looks on the perimeter or successfully get the ball to the post. This was following Thursday night when everything seemed to go Texas’ way, as it beat West Virginia 66-49 in the first round of the tournament. Felix had just two points Friday night off four attempted field goals. After averaging almost 12 attempts per contest coming in, he struggled to generate shot opportunities against

the stout zone. “They shaded towards me, making it tough to get shots up, Felix said. “If I’m not getting open looks, and I’m not shooting the ball, then our team is stagnant.” For Ridley and sophomore center Prince Ibeh, the interior touches just weren’t there. Texas’ guards failed to find ways to get the ball inside to the big men, even when they were able to get a seal on the block. The two centers were efficient, converting six of their nine attempts, but just never had an opportunity to impact the game. “[Baylor’s] whole defense was just sagging in on us,” Ibeh said. “That was something they put an emphasis on. We needed to make some mid-range shots to open it up, but those shots just weren’t falling.”

Entering the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships ranked fifth in the nation, the Longhorn women knew capturing the top spot would take an extraordinary team effort. At the 4x400-meter relay, the final event of the weekend, the Longhorns hold a once-improbable title within reach. Texas already held the national-record time in the event. All it needed was a victory to best No. 1 Georgia to claim the national championship. Senior sprinter Briana Nelson, sophomore sprinter Courtney Okolo, freshman sprinter Kendall Baisden and junior sprinter Ashley Spencer ran the event in an NCAA-record time of 3:27.42, but the Oregon Ducks stole the national title with a .02-second advantage at 3:27.40. “The goal was to come away with a team trophy,” head coach Mario Sategna said in a statement. “But to be second and to get the program on track a little bit is a step in the right direction.” En route to Texas’ second-place performance, sophomore pole-vaulter Kaitlin Petrillose recorded a collegiate indoor record vault of 15 feet, 1 inch. Senior jumper Shanay Briscoe followed with fifth place in the high jump, clearing 6.5 feet for her fifth First Team All-American honor.

The goal was to come away with a team trophy. But to be second and to get the program on track a little bit is a step in the right direction. —Mario Sategna, Head coach

In the 400-meter finals, three Texas runners placed in the same event for just the second time in team history: Spencer (2), Okolo (4) and Baisden (5). Entering at No. 25, the Longhorn men finished the meet 20th with a team score of 11 points. Sophomore shot-putter Ryan Crouser, who won the event with a throw of 69 feet, 7 inches, grabbed 10 of those points as he eclipsed the next-best mark by nearly 4 feet. Each of Crouser’s five legal throws landed far enough to win the individual title. “That was the best series by far that I’ve ever had,” Crouser said in a statement. “Across the board, this was the best meet I’ve ever had.” Sophomore sprinter Zack Bilderback contributed Texas’ remaining point and earned his first All-American honor with an eighth place finish in the 400 meters with a time of 47.63 seconds. The outdoor season begins Saturday.

WEEKEND RECAPS SOFTBALL

SCARLETT SMITH Heading into the Judi Garman Classic, the Longhorns (17-13) looked to continue their dominant play from the previous week’s Texas Invitational. Freshman pitcher Tiarra Davis pitched her sixth complete game in the opener, a 5-1 win against Houston. Hitting 2-for-3 on the night, sophomore utility Lindsey Stephens belted a team-leading eighth home run of the year. Houston picked up its lone run in the seventh when the Cougars’ back-to-back hits pushed a score across. Davis struck out four, giving up only four hits and three walks. Head coach Connie Clark’s squad hit a bump in the road next game against No. 7 Arizona State, as an 8-3 loss that ended Texas’ six-game winning streak. A Sun Devils grand slam and solo home run extended Texas’ deficit to seven. Stranding 13 runners while outhitting their opponent 12-7, the Longhorns dropped to 3-4 against ranked opponents this season. No. 5 Michigan next beat Texas 3-1. Looking to rebound from a two-game skid and avenge last month’s loss against the Huskies, Texas faced No. 6 Washington. Senior shortstop Taylor Thom’s third home run of the season wasn’t enough in the 6-5 loss. Stephens snapped her 16-game hit streak but reached base for a 27th straight game, tying the program’s No. 2 all-time record. The Longhorns lost 4-3 to unranked Long Beach State at the tournament’s end on a walk-off home run. It was senior catcher Mandy Ogle’s turn to hit a homer in this loss. The Longhorns downed North Texas in a twogame series Tuesday, 10-2 and 2-1 to end their losing streak. Taking on Iowa at home, Texas next defeated the Hawkeyes 9-1 and 6-5 this weekend. Texas plays its final game against Iowa 7 p.m. Monday.

The No. 7 Longhorns defeated No. 13 Wake Forest in a close 4-3 match Thursday at Wake Forest Tennis Complex in Winston-Salem, N.C. Texas spent spring break competing, after topping Wake Forest 9-4 in the ITA Kick-Off in January. Junior Lloyd Glasspool retired early because of injury but not before forcing a third set in his match. Glasspool positioned juniors Clement Homs and junior Soren Hess-Olesen to finish their wins, giving UT a 3-2 lead. Texas endured three losses at the hands of singles freshman George Goldhoff and doubles duos Glasspool/Hess-Olesen junior Jacoby Lewis/senior David Holiner. Sophomore Nick Naumann’s win of 6-2, 6-3 resulted in UT’s first point of the match. Texas will compete 6 p.m. Wednesday against Wichita State at the Penick-Allison Tennis Center.

continues from page 1 dismissing them as a young, inexperienced team. “Before the season started, we knew we had a group of guys that were in it together,” Barnes said. “We knew, as a coaching staff, that when we played Mercer, they were a good team. I told them tonight that this is really just the beginning for them, if they really want to do something special.”
