With fixed tuition plan, UT seeks other revenue By Jacob Kerr @jacobrkerr
The UT System Board of Regents decided not to increase in-state undergraduate tuition, approved a 2.6 percent increase for out-of-state undergraduate students and approved the University’s first guaranteed tuition plan at two meetings in May. With the decision, the board authorized Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa to find alternative sources of recurring revenue for System institutions to account for the lack of in-state tuition increases. Cigarroa said he will work with other System officials to “identify other means of supporting our campuses in a recurrent manner.” Chairman Paul Foster
said the board would try to direct money from the Permanent University Fund — a public endowment of land in West Texas — to each institution, rather than increasing in-state tuition. Cigarroa’s plans will be presented to the board in August. At the board’s May 20 meeting, Foster said he felt both the guaranteed plan and the decision not to increase in-state tuition will benefit students. “I think this is an important step,” Foster said, “Both in terms of establishing a fixed four-year tuition option at each one of our campuses as well as holding the line on increases. I think both send the right message to our students and our campuses.” After the meeting, UT
spokesman Gary Susswein said the University will work with the System to find alternative recurring revenue sources. “We’re looking forward to working with the chancellor and the chairman in order to identify those recurring funds that are needed to maintain excellence at UT,” Susswein said. The out-of-state increase goes into effect beginning in the fall 2014 semester. Before the regents decided not to increase in-state tuition, UT President William Powers Jr. and Andrew Clark, former Senate of College Councils president, presented a plan to increase the University’s in-state undergraduate tuition by 2.13 percent at the May 14 meeting. The regents did not
consider any increases in graduate student tuition. With the regents’ decision, the University will now offer a guaranteed plan for the first time in its history. Along with the Texas Legislature in 2013, the regents required each System institution to offer a guaranteed plan beginning with the fall 2014 semester. The University’s guaranteed plan beginning in fall 2014 will be set at 8 percent over the fall 2013 traditional cost. In fall 2015, the guaranteed plan will be set at 4 percent over the fall 2014 guaranteed plan cost. The University will also offer a $3,500 rebate to guaranteed plan students who graduate in four years. Despite the decision not to increase in-state tuition for
Fall 2014 baseline tuition — traditional plan In-state undergraduate: $5,291 8% increase over fall 2013 traditional rate Out-of-state undergraduate: $18,275 8% increase over fall 2013 traditional rate
Fall 2014 baseline tuition — guaranteed plan (four-year fixed rate) In-state undergraduate: $4,899 0% increase over fall 2013 Out-of-state undergraduate: $17,361 2.6% increase over fall 2013 In-state graduate: $4,442 0% increase over fall 2013 Out-of-state graduate: $8,558 0% increase over fall 2013
the upcoming school year, Foster said the guaranteed plan will be attractive for some students, because traditional plan tuition could rise in the future. “We’re not saying that our undergraduate rates will be fixed for four years at flat,”
Foster said. “So, presumably, there will still be some students who would opt for the four year fixed in order to make sure they know exactly what their costs are going to be.” —Additional reporting by Madlin Mekelburg

Orientation doesn’t get the job done By Olivia Berkeley Daily Texan Columnist @oliviaberkeley
Helen Fernandez | Daily Texan Staff
Juan Belman is a member of the University Leadership Initiative at UT. Belman was born in Guanajuato, Mexico, and will have to reapply for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program by January in order to stay in the U.S. for school.
DACA should be expanded Nearly two years ago, the Obama administration announced a new program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which ordered the Department of Homeland Security to use prosecutorial discretion to curb the deportation of those brought to this country illegally as children. However, early recipients of protection, people like radio-television-film junior Sheridan Lagunas, are running out of time on their deferrals. The program only guarantees a reprieve from federal authorities for two years, and thus thousands of undocumented immigrants must reapply or face deportation once more. This renewal process is often easier said than done. Applicants must pay a $465 application fee — renewing applicants have to pay a second time —and navigate through an arduous online system. As any veteran of the Obamacare website
boondoggle could testify, this might be the hardest and most unpredictable part of the process. Most frustrating, though, is the fact that participants in this program must reapply to begin with. We support the DREAM Act and believe that all undocumented immigrants, if they are brought to this country as children, should be given legal status. Furthermore, we believe that if — like Lagunas — they attend a university or join the armed forces, they should be granted U.S. citizenship. For people like Lagunas, this country is all that they have ever known. They had no control over a choice to enter this country without authorization, and thus deportation shouldn’t be a fear that ever crosses their minds. Not only do we support the DACA program, we believe it should be expanded to give legal status and a pathway to citizenship for such young people.

Editor’s Note: A longer version of this column is available at dailytexanonline.com. Freshman orientation is in full swing on the UT campus. Hordes of fresh-faced students flock to Austin to, among other things, “learn” about the University and get their first taste of college life. Unfortunately for them, however, orientation is a far cry from the realities of the college experience. Let’s call a spade a spade. Orientation is not summer camp, nor is it an experience that students put on their top list of amazing things they’ve done at UT. It is a 72-hour waste of time from which one emerges with a bag full of UT-related shirts and pamphlets, a waitlist-laden fall schedule and a few new friends with whom they’ll inevitably fall out of touch within the first month of school.

On paper, orientation is marketed as one of the most important first steps in order to make the transition from high school to college a successful one. However, when one wades through the endless burnt orange propaganda, pointless lectures and mandatory wing meetings, it becomes clear that orientation is nothing more than a cold-hearted attempt to bore incoming Longhorns to tears. The truth of the matter is that orientation could not be less representative of college if it tried. Unlike orientation, college outside the classroom isn’t scheduled. You don’t have to check in somewhere at midnight. You aren’t told when to be somewhere and for what reason. One of the foundations of college — freedom — is entirely lost during orientation. But until UT figures out a way to more efficiently impart the necessary information, generations of incoming students will have to endure the same fate as their predecessors. But hey, at least there are pints of Blue Bell ice cream in J2 available to ease the sorrows and frustrations. Berkeley is a Plan II and public relations sophomore from Austin.

Horns heading back to Omaha By Stefan Scrafield @stefanscrafield
For the first time since 2011, the Texas Longhorns will play in the College World Series. Despite being outhit in the contest, Texas beat the Houston Cougars 4-0 at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Saturday to win its super regional and to earn a trip to Omaha for the first time in three years. “Once again, it’s about runs, not hits,” Texas head coach Augie Garrido said. “They had 10 hits; we had eight, but it was about runs.” The Longhorns broke things open in the fourth inning as they batted around, scoring four runs on six hits in the frame. C.J Hinojosa, who has been phenomenal throughout the NCAA Tournament, singled to right field with the bases loaded to drive in the first two runs of the afternoon. “[Hinojosa’s] hit broke the game open and started the momentum,” Garrido said. From there, Collin Shaw and Kacy Clemens each drove in a run to clear the bases and give Texas a fourrun lead. Those runs proved to be all the Longhorns would need on that day, as the Texas pitching staff combined to shut out the Cougars. Junior Parker French got the start for the Longhorns and pitched six shutout innings, giving up just five hits. “I wasn’t going to let these guys down today,” French said. “I didn’t want to lose this game. It was just pure willpower, pitching for my teammates.” Travis Duke, Morgan Cooper and John Curtiss came out of the bullpen for

the Longhorns and gave up a total of six hits over the final three innings. While Houston failed to score any runs, they threatened several times. The Cougars loaded the bases on multiple occasions, but each time, Texas was able to slam the door, stranding 14 Houston runners in the contest. “They had the bases loaded a couple of times, and it didn’t work out for them,” Garrido said. “But that’s many times what separates two good teams. On any given day, the balls you hit hard don’t always fall.” The Longhorns will now make their 35th College World Series appearance, but it will be the first for many players on the team. Of the 27 players on this year’s roster, only four were on the squad that went to Omaha in 2011. “We just have to play our game [in Omaha],” said senior centerfielder Mark

Payton, who was a member of the 2011 team. “The team that relaxes is the team that’s going to win the game. My job is just to keep these guys relaxed and make sure they’re having fun.” After winning the Houston regional, hosted by Rice, Texas took the first game against Houston on Friday before completing the super regional sweep Saturday to advance to Omaha. The Longhorns’ impressive postseason campaign has been led by Payton and fellow senior Nathan Thornhill, both of whom turned down the MLB to return for their final season at Texas. Payton has a ridiculous .400/.556/.650
slash line in six postseason games. He has also scored six runs and stolen four bases — both team highs. Thornhill has won both of his NCAA Tournament starts, posting a 1.93 ERA while pitching 14 innings and striking out 10 batters — both team highs. “This is where this program belongs, and we wanted to be a part of getting it back to [this point,]” said Thornhill of he and Payton’s decision to come back for their senior season. Garrido’s team will take on UC-Irvine at TD Ameritrade Park on Saturday, in their College World Series opener. First pitch is set for 2 p.m.
SPORTS BRIEFLY James, Heat squeeze past Spurs in Game 2
LeBron James pushed the Miami Heat to a 98-96 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in game two of the NBA Finals at the AT&T Center Sunday night. After receiving plenty of criticism for leaving game one with cramps, James was dialed in for the second game, dominating the majority of the game. He finished the contest with 35 points and 10 boards. The game was close throughout, as both teams traded the lead all night long. But, with under a minute and half remaining, Heat forward Chris Bosh hit a go-ahead 3 and Miami held on from there. Bosh finished with 18 points. With the win, Miami improves to 6-0 Game 2 record when losing the first game of a series. For the Spurs, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan led the team in a valiant effort. Parker scored 21 points and Duncan finished with 18 points and 15 rebounds. Duncan’s performance moved him into a tie with Magic Johnson for all-time playoff doubledoubles with 157. But Duncan’s historic performance was not enough for San Antonio to get past Miami. “We didn’t do it as a group,” Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said. “We tried to do it individually, and we aren’t good enough to do that.” As a team, San Antonio also sturggled mightily from the free throw line, converting just 12 of 20 attempts. The NBA Finals now transition to Miami for the next two games. Game 3 is Tuesday at 8 p.m. —Nick Castillo

What you missed while you were in high school, from regents to SXSW By Amanda Voeller, Anthony Green & Jacob Kerr @thedailytexan
Regent Controversy A state legislative committee is working to draft articles of impeachment against UT System Regent Wallace Hall, who could be the first non-elected state official to be removed from office. Appointed by the governor, the regents serve as the governing body of the System, which oversees the nine UT schools and six health institutions. The House Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations determined at a meeting in May that Hall committed impeachable offenses. The committee began investigating Hall in June 2013, after state legislators accused Hall of overstepping his authority as a regent and working with other regents to remove President William Powers Jr. from his position by filing large records requests to the University. In a statement released by his lawyer in May, Hall said he has been working to point out wrongdoing at the System’s institutions. “Will the public ever know the truth about problems in our institutions if legislators are allowed to impeach board members who reveal them?” Hall asked. If the committee drafts specific articles, Hall’s case will go to the Texas House of Representatives. If a majority of the House votes in favor of impeachment, the matter would move to the Senate, which would convene as a court to make a final decision. While state legislators, student leaders and board Chairman Paul Foster have called on Hall to resign, Gov. Rick Perry
has defended Hall. After Hall declined Foster’s request to resign, Foster said he would no longer pursue the issue. The transparency committee met May 21 to begin discussing the articles but has not yet scheduled any further meetings. Following a transparency committee report alleging Hall violated FERPA, the Travis County District Attorney’s Public Integrity Unit also opened an investigation into his actions. Hall’s term will expire in 2017. Chancellor Search The UT System Board of Regents are in the process of selecting a new chancellor for the System. Outgoing Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa announced his resignation in February to return to practicing medicine at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio. Cigarroa, who will remain chancellor until his replacement is selected, began serving in the position in 2009. The chancellor, who is appointed by and reports to the regents, serves as the head executive of the System. During his announcement, Cigarroa said he had accomplished his goals as chancellor, and his decision was not related to the ongoing regents controversy. An email,written to Cigarroa by Foster and originally obtained by The Dallas Morning News in March suggested Regent Wallace Hall accused Cigarroa of not doing his job weeks before Cigarroa

Everything you need to know about Texas football By Nick Castillo @NCHammer74
Football is king in the state of Texas. To many, it may seem strange to see the brutal game of football revered in Texas. Yet once you step into the University of Texas’ Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, it’s easy to get caught in the religion that is Texas Longhorn football. For some of you, this fall will be the first time you attend a Texas football game as a student at the University. Here is what you need to know before the first game comes around: Q: Where does the football team play? A: Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium The stadium is named after the late legendary Texas coach Darrell K. Royal, who was the head coach for the Longhorns from 1957-1976. During his 20-year tenure at Texas, Royal posted a 167-47-5 record, including three national championships, and 11 Southwest Conference championships. Texas’ stadium also serves as a war memorial. After the stadium was completed in 1924, the student body dedicated it in honor of the 198,520 Texans who fought in World War I. The attendance record at DKR, as they call it, is listed at 101,851, which was set Oct. 6, 2012, in a game against the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Q: Who does Texas play? A: Texas plays nine Big 12 opponents and three non-conference foes each year
Texas plays in the Big 12 conference that features 10 teams. The Longhorns will play each of the other nine conference members. Of those games, Baylor, Iowa State, TCU and West Virginia will be played at home. Texas also plays three non-conference games against different opponents each season. This season, the Longhorns will play North Texas, BYU and UCLA. Q: Who are Texas’ rivals? A: Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Baylor Oklahoma and Texas meet every year in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl. The rivalry has been going on for more than 100 years. Since Texas A&M left the Big 12 for the SEC in 2012, the two teams haven’t met formally, but the rivalry rages on, especially on social media. Baylor and Texas are budding rivals. The Bears are rising in the Big 12 and have given the Longhorns plenty of tough contests in the past few years. Q: Who is Texas’ head coach? A: Charlie Strong For the first time in 17 years, Texas has a new head coach: Charlie Strong. As Mack Brown’s successor, Strong has big shoes to fill. Brown led Texas to two National

continues from page 6 announced his resignation. In February, board Chairman Paul Foster said a new chancellor would be selected over the summer. The System hired search firm Wheless Partners in March to assist in the search. Shared Services Many of the University’s 18 colleges and schools independently operate services in the areas of finance, information technology, human resources and procurement, but the University is looking at saving costs through a centralization plan that has been met with some controversy. The Committee on Business Productivity, a group charged with identifying ways for UT to cut costs, first introduced Shared Services in January 2013. The plan calls for centralizing these services in order to cut costs at the University. According to Kevin Hegarty, University vice president and chief financial officer, 500 jobs will be eliminated through the centralization process —
Monday, June 9, 2014 supposedly through natural attrition and retirement. Earlier in April, Powers endorsed the Shared Services Steering Committee’s report, launching two pilot programs in the College of Education and the Office of the Provost. Some faculty, staff and students have voiced their opposition to the plan, and more than 100 faculty members signed a letter opposing Shared Services and submitted it to Powers in April. In late April, UTPD arrested 18 students, who were members of Save Our Community Coalition, for criminal trespassing after they participated in a sit-in against Shared Services in front of President William Powers Jr.’s office. The sitin occurred after a more than 200-person protest in front of the UT Tower earlier that day. In an interview with The Daily Texan in March, Hegarty said he believes opponents of the plan do not understand that the University’s current business model is unsustainable. “We’re getting starved on the academic end for dollars to hire teachers and retain people,” Hegarty said.

According to a report by the Shared Services Steering Committee, implementing Shared Services will cost the University approximately $35-$40 million. Each year thereafter, the University’s projected savings will sit somewhere between $30-$40 million annually, Hegarty said in March. SXSW Crash Charjuan Owens, the driver indicted in the South By Southwest crash that killed four people and injured approximately 20, made his first court appearance since his arrest at a pretrial hearing on June 4. At the hearing, district court Judge Clifford Brown reset Owens’ next court appearance for July 8. Members of Owens’ family attending the Wednesday court appearance declined to comment. In May, a Travis County grand jury indicted Owens on one count of capital murder, four counts of felony murder and 24 counts of aggravated assault, according to the district clerk’s office. Police have previously confirmed Owens was driving while intoxicated as he fled police and drove a stolen car through a crowd of people on Red River Street on March 13. Capital murder charges were filed after Jamie West, 27, and Steven Craenmehr, 35, died at the scene. In the two weeks after the crash, Deandre Tatum, PPGT Daily Texan Summer 18, and Sandy Le, 26, died.

continues from page 7 Championships and ranks as one of the greatest coaches in program history. Strong hopes to reach even greater heights, but it will take time.
Q: Who is the quarterback? A: That answer is tricky… David Ash is the most likely starter. Ash is a redshirt junior who has played three seasons at Texas. However, he missed most of 2013 season due to concussions and his status is still not entirely certain. Sophomore Tyrone Swoopes is the only other quarterback that has some game experience. Many expect incoming freshman quarterback Jerrod Heard to make an impact as soon as he gets the chance.
Q: Who are the assistant coaches? A: Once Strong was hired by the University, he hired a staff of some of the most highly regarded coaches in the nation. The staff includes former Texas defensive back Vance Q: Who are the most imBedford, who has taken the portant players? role of defensive coordinator.

a big impact, especially given the questions surrounding the quarterback position. Coach Strong is expected to make big improvements to the Longhorn defense. The Longhorns’ biggest strength is the defensive line, and the most important member of that unit is Cedric Reed, who emerged as a powerful pass rusher last season and is expected to make big contributions this year. Q: What is the season outlook? A: Texas finished last season at 8-5 after a loss to Oregon in the Alamo Bowl. With the hire of coach Strong, the team received a much needed face-lift. But the season won’t be easy. Texas has one of the toughest schedules in the nation. Expect the Longhorns to improve over last season, but, given the question mark at the quarterback, it’s tough to imagine another national championship run anytime soon. Welcome to the University of Texas, where football is a religion and church takes place on Saturdays at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.

Hangouts that aren’t a drag By Hannah Smothers @hannahsmothers_
Living on or near campus, especially without a car, usually results in a lot of time spent perusing the restaurants and businesses on the Drag. But within two months of school, you’ll be sick of the menus at probably every single restaurant on Guadalupe and be ready to get off campus and interact with people who aren’t just UT students. The Daily Texan made a list of places within walking distance of campus for you to visit when the employees on the Drag start referring to you as “a regular.” Bennu Coffee Lounge When you just can’t take the PCL anymore, or if you need giant mugs of coffee to stay up all night, go the few blocks east of campus to Bennu. One of the few 24-hour coffee shops near campus, Bennu is equipped with plenty of outlets, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and most importantly, endless amounts of caffeine to help you stay awake through chapters of
government reading. Since 24hour shops are so rare, Bennu is generally packed by 11 p.m. on weeknights. If you feel like waiting around for a table, or if you just need to take a 3 a.m. nap, the coffee shop has a few dangerously comfortable couches to rest on. Fricano’s Deli When you’ve exhausted all of your options at the JCL sandwich line, walk the few blocks west to Fricano’s. The sandwiches are a little expensive but completely worth it. There’s a different special every day of the week, and the restaurant has a punch card system that can eventually lead to a free sandwich. This is incredibly valuable and precious, given how delicious and pricey some of these sandwiches are. Conan’s Pizza Conan’s has been a staple for UT students since the late 1970s and probably will remain a staple forever. I know they must have thin crust pizza on the menu, but their deep dish pizzas and slices are so good that I’ve never really
felt the need to try anything else. Aside from having the best pizza within a five-mile radius of campus, Conan’s has a daily lunch special during the week that offers a pretty hefty lunch for under $10. Spider House Cafe What commonly gets voted as one of the best coffee shops in Austin is actually one of the best bars, and it’s within walking distance of a lot of student housing. Lit entirely by lamps and Christmas lights on the inside and outside, Spider House is great for first dates and cozy friend gatherings. All ages are welcome, but Spider House does have a full bar, with Shiner Ruby Redbird on tap during the summer months. They also have a pretty great menu of typical bar food along with healthy staples like hummus and pita bread. And, of course, queso is on the menu as well. Hole in the Wall Often overlooked because it’s just a little bit too close to campus, happy hour at Hole in the Wall is perfect for unwinding after a successful, or even

not so successful, exam. Since it’s connected in the back to East Side King, you don’t have to be 21 to sit outside at the patio tables if you enter through the restaurant. This is a very good place to make friends with a bartender or two, since it is just across the street from the University. Hole in the Wall also has live music most weekend nights if you don’t feel like braving the crowds downtown. Spider House Ballroom Located directly next to the Cafe, Spider House Ballroom hosts a ton of events from weekly poetry slams to occasional rock and punk concerts. Usually booked by local bands, national acts like Thee Oh Sees have been known to play here from time to time. When there is a cover, it’s pretty cheap and sometimes discounted for

students. And, of course, there’s a full bar inside as well. The Union Underground Technically located on campus, the Union Underground can remain weirdly unknown to a lot of students even after a few years as a Longhorn. Hidden below the fast food lines and mayhem of the
Union’s main floors is a bowling alley, pool tables, air hockey tables and a bunch of other games that are really cheap to play if you’re a UT student. Not only is it definitely the closest bowling alley to campus, but it’s also probably one of the least expensive places to hangout in the city for students.

What you missed at X Games Austin By Samantha Grasso & Sarah Montgomery

small skate ramps and the first-ever X Games video game competition. Motocross sports dominated the day with Enduro X, Best Whip and Step up, and 14-year-old Tom Schaar shocked the crowd by winning the Big Air Skate against legend Bob Burnquist. In music, early in Dillon Francis’ set, audience members rushed the stage, causing the fire marshal to turn off the sound. The sound was turned
back on minutes afterward but not without a warning for the crowd to back up. Pretty Lights’ light show was an impressive feat, pulling out all the stops. On Saturday, Kanye West went on at 11:30 p.m., and despite earlier threats of rushing the stage and taking the available seating, the crowd was subdued. West’s performance was high energy, leaving nothing to be
desired by the packed crowd. Sunday brought a close to Austin’s first taste of the X Games with the athletes, thousands of fans and dozens of music artists finishing their four days of constant extreme sports and extreme heat. The day’s competitions included the BMX Park final, Women’s Skateboard Street final and Super Trucks closing the festival with performances by Gary Clark Jr. and The Flaming Lips.

Few faults found in tearful teen movie By Lauren L’Amie
@DailyTexanArts
Arenas of ancient times featured gladiators fighting impossible odds for survival. This weekend, X Games Austin put forth its own modern gladiators. Instead of weapons, they brought boards and bikes to fight competition, and whether the arena was a bowl, a dirt track or a half pipe, the impossible odd remained the same: gravity. With four days, four extreme sports, three stages of live music and dozens of booths and food vendors, Austin welcomed the festival for the first of four years. Day one was set up just outside the Capitol building, and skate vert and BMX vert contests were held in front of about 12,000 fans on Congress Avenue. X Games history was made Thursday when Jimmy Wilkins became the youngest skater to obtain gold in the vert skate and Jamie Bestwick won his ninth consecutive gold in BMX vert. The rest of the festival was hosted at Circuit of the Americas on 1,500 acres of competition courses, booths and nine villages, including bull rides,

Wiping the reluctantly shed tears from my adult eyes, I exited the teen-filled, tear-filled North Austin screening of “The Fault in Our Stars.” “Never again,” I whispered. “Never. Again.” Though I read the book before seeing the film — at the insistence of my impassioned 12-year-old sister — I was not adequately prepared for the full spectrum of emotions that I, an adult human, would experience. Granted, I am still technically a teen, so maybe that has something to do with it. John Green’s young adult novel-turned-movie follows Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley), a 16-year-old diagnosed with thyroid cancer who lives a very limited life with a portable oxygen tank and overprotective parents as her constant companions. On the verge of depression, Hazel is forced to join a terminal cancer support group, where she meets the charismatic Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort). Augustus, an 18-year-old who lost his right leg to osteosarcoma, very predictably falls for Hazel the first time he sees her. Woodley is the perfect foil to Elgort’s outlandish, confident Augustus. Their sharp, witty interactions remain tasteful and true to the book almost word for word — a huge relief for avid John Green readers who would have been furious otherwise. “The Fault in Our Stars” highlights Green’s honest,
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS Director: Josh Boone Genre: Romance Run time: 126 minutes
tug-at-your-heartstrings prose, and doesn’t dare leave out any of Hazel’s intelligent first-person observations that are much more true to life than most young adult fiction stories. Of course, there are parts that are wildly untrue to real-life love stories. I mean, if someone ever says to me, “You gave me a forever within the numbered days and I can’t tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity,” just go ahead and punch me in the face. But as much as romantic movies such as “The Fault in Our Stars” are shot down for their unrealistic dialogue, that’s what makes them relatable to a larger audience — in this case, an audience that includes all ages, not just young adults. I really wanted to hate “The Fault in Our Stars,” if only to maintain my apathetic, somewhat jaded web presence. I really did. “It’s nothing but an overdone star-crossed teen romance and a sappy cancer story!” I wanted to shout via various social media outlets. But I can’t help it; my inner 13-year-old girl gives it a teary-eyed, snot-nosed vote of confidence.
