UNIVERSITY

Powers declines request for resignation

By Jacob Kerr

UNIVERSITY

Assault victim criticizes University warning system

@jacobrkerr

By Wynne Davis

UT System Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa told President William Powers Jr. on July 2 he must resign from his position or be removed by the Board of Regents at an upcoming meeting, according to a letter from Powers obtained by the Austin American-Statesman.

In the letter written to Cigarroa, Powers said he would not resign immediately but was willing to discuss a timeline for exiting after the 2015 legislative session.

“Throughout my tenure, I have always striven to act in the best interests of the University,” Powers said. “I believe a graceful rather than abrupt departure after nine years in office is in keeping with that.”

Cigarroa’s request to Powers comes weeks after the System announced in June that it would hire an outside firm to conduct an investigation into UT’s admissions process.

In May, the System released findings of its own limited investigation into legislative influence over admissions. That inquiry, conducted by two System officials, found no evidence of structured system of wrongdoing, but determined instances where letters from legislators sent directly to Powers or a dean likely influenced the admissions process.

The news of the ultimatum was first reported by multiple media outlets Friday, citing anonymous sources.

After being assaulted while walking to her office on June 26, graduate student Cindy Walter-Gensler recounted the event for her students and said she wondered why there had not been an alert sent to the student body about the event.

Walter-Gensler said she was walking down Dean Keeton around 8:30 a.m. when a man blocked her path and then grabbed onto her, leaving bruises on her arms and hands.

“I don’t think I’ve ever felt that helpless in my whole life,” Walter-Gensler said. “I was so paralyzed I couldn’t scream, I couldn’t try to get away … or anything. And he just laughed at me … and it was not a good feeling. I really didn’t know what was going to happen next.”

Walter-Gensler said she reported the incident to UTPD and was told they had already taken the man into custody.

According to the Campus Crime Watch email from UTPD, the man had touched others on campus and was exhibiting odd behavior.

Walter-Gensler said she was told by UTPD that an alert was not sent out because the man had been taken into custody and no one had pressed charges before her.

The previous week, UTPD sent an email to all faculty, staff and students after a sexual assault was reported at San Jacinto Hall. UTPD spokeswoman Cindy Posey said notifications depend on which category an incident falls under.

Posey said the University is required to send out alerts about sexual assaults because of the Clery Act, but in other

Francisco Cigarroa sits during a press conference where he stepped down from his position as UT System chancellor on Monday Feb. 10.

In light of the reports, students, faculty and alumni voiced their support for Powers over the weekend. After speaking with the parties involved, Texas Exes President Kay Bailey Hutchison and Chairman Charles Matthews confirmed the reports in a letter sent to members of the alumni association Sunday.

Hutchison and Matthews called Powers “a great leader” and said his removal would be harmful to the University.

“A forced resignation or firing would be a travesty for UT,” Hutchison and Matthews said. “It would cause further tension with legislators regarding UT System, would compound unrest among faculty, students, and alumni, and invoke serious harm to the institution’s reputation in the national spotlight.”

Hutchison and Matthews said they were hopeful

Cigarroa and Powers would be able to agree on a “succession plan.” On Friday, the Faculty Council Executive Committee also released a statement in support of Powers.

“On behalf of the General Faculty of UT Austin, the Faculty Council Executive Committee unanimously reiterates its strong support for the presidency of William Powers who, under extraordinarily difficult circumstances, has fulfilled his position with distinction,” the committee said.

“He has greatly enhanced the quality and stature of the institution’s undergraduate education, its graduate programs, its research mission, its commitment to medical education and care, and its service to the community and to higher education generally.”

While some students and alumni have voiced their support and shared a

“I’ve always been a large supporter of President Powers,” Rady said. “Something I’m concerned with, especially from a student perspective, is that these decisions are being made during times that students aren’t really in town. Students aren’t able to be the most active in voicing their opinions.”

situations, UT tries not to inundate the campus body with text and email alerts.

“We send out an emergency notification any time we think people on campus are in danger,” Posey said. “We try not to over-send because we don’t want people to become desensitized. We definitely will send them when we think there’s a threat.”

Posey said threats of immediate danger include an active shooter on campus, a bomb threat or any event that could harm the UT community.

While UTPD offers students a choice to sign up for alert text messages and the Campus Watch daily summary, the department of Campus Safety and Security sends emails to all people on campus when an immediate threat occurs.

One such event was a bomb threat in fall 2012 that warranted an emergency alert to be sent to the entire campus. A full campus evacuation was ordered after the threat was received.

Neuroscience junior Rachel Concha said she had received the message that morning.

Concha said it was the first emergency text she had received from the University, and she hears about emergencies in a timely manner.

“I think the University’s alert system is effective,” Concha said. “People are encouraged to sign up to receive emergency messages during their first moments at UT.” Concha said, while she has never felt unsafe on campus, she thinks it would be good for students to be updated about events such as the assault that took place last month, but said she wouldn’t want to have too many notifications.

COLUMN

President Powers deserves support of regents, UT community

By Geetika Jerath, Andrew Clark, Kori Rady & Horacio Villarreal Guest Columnists

As past and current student leaders at the University of Texas at Austin, we have followed the controversy surrounding certain members of the UT System Board of Regents and our president, William Powers Jr., for over three years.

We attended the Board of Regents meeting in December 2013 while studying for finals during a closed-door session. Sitting and waiting for hours longer than expected to hear Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa’s recommendation regarding Powers’ employment was extremely stressful and tense. We were relieved to hear his support for Powers as we sat in a room full of students, alumni, prominent officials and Powers himself. Yet despite recommending that Powers remain the president of UT-Austin just six months ago, it has been reported that Cigarroa delivered an ultimatum to Powers on July 2 to resign immediately or be fired Thursday. Worst of all, delivering the ultimatum during a holidayshortened week in the middle of the summer certainly appears to be an attempt to remove Powers while few are on campus to respond.

As former UT System general counsel Barry Burgdorf said in his testimony before the House Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations last year, it was the “clear intent” of some regents to “get rid of Bill Powers” as UT’s president. It is clear that this latest salvo is yet another attempt by those who do not have the best interests of the University at heart. Their methods have succeeded only in detracting from our mission of educating students to be the leaders of tomorrow and carrying out cutting-edge research expected of a tier one University.

The students are the lifeblood of this university. This ultimatum does not serve our best interests. Instead, it disrespects a successful university president who has continuously directed UT to epitomize a “university

of the first class.”

The students of UT-Austin have continually made our position clear. In response to a similar situation last year, the Senate of College Councils and Student Government passed Joint Resolution 1, “In Support of President Powers’ Vision for the University of Texas at Austin.” This support is unchanged, and we are disheartened and disappointed by Cigarroa’s ultimatum. For this action to be perpetrated by a chancellor who has already announced his resignation, and while the University is quiet for the summer, reveals its selfdestructive motives. To date, no reason has been provided by Cigarroa as to why the ultimatum was delivered, but it is clear why it is injudicious.

Powers has proved his commitment and his ability to serve as an outstanding leader time and time again. He spearheaded the first core curriculum reform in 25 years and created the School of Undergraduate Studies. He is leading an unprecedented $3 billion dollar capital campaign. He was selected by his peers to serve as the Chairman of the Association of American Universities, an immense honor that brings pride to our University.

Through President Powers’ leadership, UTAustin has been ranked No. 27 in the world

by Times Higher Education. As we look to the future, he is in the process of creating the first medical school at a tier one university in several decades. His tenure as president has been consistently filled with success that has vaulted UT into the arena of the world’s elite universities, all during the most trying times higher education has ever seen.

These accomplishments do not go unnoticed at our University.

After news of this ultimatum broke, we started a petition in support of Powers that has received over 6,000 signatures during a holiday weekend. The Faculty Council has called an emergency meeting for Wednesday to reiterate its unequivocal support for Powers with the chairwoman noting that faculty are as unanimous as she has seen in 27 years in their support. Newly minted president of the Texas Exes,

former Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, notified all Texas Exes that “a forced resignation or firing would be a travesty for UT” and alumni should “stand up and fight” for the University’s stature.

Students too have expressed their support for Powers in large numbers on social media. Even after an attempt to minimize exposure of this ultimatum, Longhorns everywhere have rallied in a powerful way.

The Board of Regents should remember that its fiduciary duty is to do what is best for UT-Austin. Let our message be clear: Powers is what is best for our University, and he deserves much better. It is now more important than ever that Longhorns everywhere come together and stand with Powers.

EDITORIAL Cigarroa’s message to Powers has sent a chill down the spines of the largely pro-Powers UT community. And with good reason. While Powers has faced pressure to resign before, the coming departure of Cigarroa, Gov.

University researchers develop new method to enrich isotopes

By YoungJee Jung @yjeejung

UT physicists have invented a new method, called Magnetically Activated and Guided Isotope Separation, or MAGIS, to increase efficiency, affordability and environmental sustainability of stable isotope enrichment.

According to the researchers, the technology is used for a variety of medical treatments.

The research was published in “Nature Physics” in late June.

Mark Raizen, physics professor and lead researcher, said isotopes, which are versions of an element that vary in number of neutrons, must be enriched or separated from each other to be useful.

For almost 80 years, machines called calutrons have been enriching stable isotopes, often being their only provider.

According to Raizen, calutrons have been shut down around the world because of high costs. The only remaining machines exist in Russia and will eventually be shut down.

“There is a looming crisis

because most of nuclear medicine relies on isotopes, typically radioactive isotopes,” Raizen said. “Our development is very significant and important because it is the first viable replacement for a method that is over 80 years old.”

Both Raizen and Tom Mazur, a physics graduate student who worked on the study, said they believe the development will positively impact a variety of fields, ranging from medical applications to production of clean air and water.

“These isotopes will likely have medical applications,” Mazur said in an email. “In the long run, many machines operating in parallel might be able to produce sufficient quantities at high enough purities for more industrial applications — like next-generation nuclear power reactors. Just by enabling enrichment of so many different isotopes, MAGIS might enable new applications down the road not yet considered.”

Bruce Klappauf, a former senior research scientist at the University who worked on the research with Raizen

and Mazur, said he believes the enriched stable isotopes are indispensable. “[Our development] might make research into new treatments possible,” Klappauf said in an email.

Despite concerns from critics that the technology could be used by rogue states to develop nuclear weapons, Mazur said he does not believe that the new technology poses any possible threat of misuse.

“I do not think the concerns are warranted,” Mazur said. “Given that extensive infrastructure and resources continue to be invested toward these concerns, the benefits of producing so many different stable isotopes with such variety of applications far outweigh any risks.”

The group is currently focusing on educating the public and scientific community of the new technology.

At a plea hearing, Khan admitted he had worked with a co-conspirator from March 2011 to January 2012 and provided a recommendation to a person who was interested in participating in jihad — a holy war seen as a religious duty in some factions of Islam.

Khan was arrested last

month in his home in Round Rock and later charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. In a separate case n the same day, Michael Todd Wolfe, who is from Austin but is not a UT student, was arrested in Houston and handed the same charge. Wolfe pled guilty on Friday, admitting he planned to travel to Syria and learn to fight with an al-Qaida group. Both men are 23.

Regents and the University: Controversies in The UT System Board of Regents, which is the governing body for the nine UT universities and six health institutions, consists of nine regents who are appointed by the governor for six-year terms. There is also a non-voting student regent who serves a one-year term. One regent is selected by the board as chairman, and two others serve the board as vice chairmen. The regents make decisions that affect the University and the system as a whole, including approval of investments, tuition rates and contract negotiations. The regents set goals for the UT System, including raising graduation rates, reducing student debt and recruiting faculty and staff. The regents have the power to hire and fire the presidents of UT System institutions.

The chancellor, who is the head of the UT System, reports to the board and is responsible for all aspects of the UT System’s operations.

Longhorn Notebook: Patterson rewards Garrido

By Stefan Scrafield & Nick Castillo @texansports

The Longhorns head baseball coach Augie Garrido, the winningest coach in NCAA history, will be staying in Austin at least a little while longer.

Texas athletic director Steve Patterson announced July 1that Garrido has received a twoyear contract extension that will keep him under contract through the 2017 season.

“We’re pleased with the great postseason run the team had this year,” Patterson said.

“We’re excited to have Augie around for another three years to try and win more National Championships.”

Garrido has guided the Longhorns to 14 NCAA Tournaments, eight College World Series appearances and two National Championships since taking over the program prior

to the 1997 season.

In 2014, Garrido led Texas to a 46-21 record as the Longhorns fell one win short of making the championship series, losing to Vanderbilt in the College World Series.

Parker French to return for 2015 season After weighing his options, Texas pitcher Parker French has decided to return for his senior season with the Longhorns.

French, a Dripping Springs native, served as the team’s Friday starter during the 2014 season, posting a 7-5 record with a 2.41 ERA. French declined his professional contract after he was selected by the Detroit Tigers in the 19th round of the MLB Draft.

“I would like to thank the Detroit Tigers for the opportunity to play professional baseball,” French tweeted. “But I have some unfinished business

Study: Sexual arousal may lower threshold for disgust

By Robert Starr @robertkstarr

“Be careful what you click” — so begins the first lesson of Internet browsing. That link from a friend could very well be exactly what she says it is, but, then again, it might not be. You could end up watching Rick Astley singing his infamous one-hit wonder or, if your friend is really mean, watching something you’d really rather not see.

It’s unlikely that Charles Darwin had such things in mind when he first wrote about disgust in his 1872 work “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.” Here he noted his discovery that while different cultures may find different things disgusting, we all feel the emotion and express it in similar ways.

We’ve come a long way since Darwin’s time, and, though there are likely benefits to studying and understanding disgust, experiments looking into the phenomenon often create a sense that scientists are trolling their subjects.

A paper published in the science journal Public Library of Science in 2012 provides a good example.

For the study, scientists

Illustration by Hannah Hadidi | Daily Texan Staff

asked subjects to do some very disgusting things, such as sticking a needle into a cow’s eye, touching apparently used condoms or drinking juice from a cup containing a large insect.

While reading the study’s supplemental material, one can almost see the experimenters giggling with giddy joy as they come up with more and more gross tasks for participants to perform.

The study didn’t, however, just look at what scientists could get college students to do for a few bucks. Before asking them to perform the vile tasks, the scientists showed them one of three 35-minute film clips. One group watched a neutral movie, involving a train traveling through various landscapes. Another group watched exciting footage of river rafting and skydiving.

And the third group watched “de Gast,” a female-friendly pornographic film whose title translates to “The Guest.”

This study took place in the Netherlands, and the film is currently unavailable in the United States.

The idea was to look at

the effect sexual desire had on perception of disgust.

Sex is pretty gross, with all the saliva, sweat and body odors, which are “among the strongest disgust elicitors.” Indeed, as the authors note, looking at it objectively “raises the critical question of how people succeed in having pleasurable sex at all.” Perhaps there’s something about arousal — specifically sexual arousal, which is why the scientists also showed the river rafting video — which prevents the disgust impulse from taking hold.

The results confirmed the suspicion: Subjects, all female and heterosexual, were statistically more likely to perform disgusting tasks after watching “de Gast” than they were after watching the train video.

And while the results suggest that they may have also been more likely to perform the tasks than those who watched the non-sexually arousing videos, the study was too small to confidently say that this difference was significant.

It’s possible that when this disgust mechanism

isn’t properly repressed, it could lead to sexual dysfunction, which is one purpose for the study and a

justification for funding it.

But, though the scientists don’t explicitly say so in the paper, it’s hard to deny

the main benefit, which is that it’s pretty funny. That fly-in-the-juice gag never gets old.

MOVIE REVIEW | ‘BEGIN AGAIN’

Carney’s sequel falls short of ‘Once’

Writer/director John Carney’s latest film, “Once,” felt like a miracle — an intimate little film whose shaggy story and grainy visuals were held together by the sheer power of its music and performances.

Carney’s long-awaited followup, “Begin Again,” is a more polished film and features Keira Knightley demonstrating an accomplished, gorgeous singing voice. Unfortunately, the film’s story and style are distractingly similar to “Once,” and despite its charms, “Begin Again” never manages to escape that familiarity.

“Begin Again” opens in a grungy New York bar, as Greta (Knightley) is summoned to the stage for an impromptu performance of a sad little song she wrote. The film quickly backtracks, telling the backstory of Dan (Mark Ruffalo), a music exec in the throes of a breakdown when he happens to be in the bar that night. He is inspired both by Greta’s music and Greta, a songwriter who followed her boyfriend/partner Dave (Maroon 5’s Adam Levine) to New York, only to be dumped through song. When Dan approaches Greta she’s initially skeptical, but he eventually convinces her to record an unconventional album on the streets of New York.

Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley are both spectacularly charming in the right role, and Carney displays an apt understanding of what makes them worth watching.

Ruffalo’s down-on-his-luck music exec is the kind of sadsack role the actor brings such humanity to. He also shares a crackling chemistry with Knightley, who’s never been quite so radiant and likable before. Knightley conjures up instant sympathy for Greta with her moving opening

number, but she’s hugely effective throughout, be it with the dawning horror that her boyfriend’s newest song is about another woman, or when she gives sincere advice to Dan’s daughter (Hailee Steinfeld of “True Grit”).

What made “Once” so memorable was the fantastic original songs by stars Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, and while Hansard was one of many contributors to the music in “Begin Again,” there’s nothing here that’s quite as moving as the former film’s Oscar-winning ballad, “Falling Slowly.” Here, the songs struggle to rise above generic makeout jams, especially when Levine, who proves to be a fine but unspectacular performer, takes over for the big final number. Still, the songs are prevented in an innovative fashion, either through flashbacks or through the impromptu, energetic recording sessions held on the streets of New York City. Knightley does a great job bringing the music to life, and is especially winning singing her way through an impulsive drunk-dial to her ex, but can’t make most of the songs stand out in a crowded soundtrack.

Most of “Begin Again”’s shortcomings come from its inability to distinguish itself, both within its genre and

BEGIN AGAIN Director: John Carney Genre: Musical Runtime: 104 minutes

within its director’s small body of work. Carney’s got a strong knack for undercutting sexual tension with a deeply felt yearning, but the romances in his films never quite go anywhere, and while that felt like a beautiful, meaningful decision by the characters in “Once,” it feels like a retread here.

Although “Begin Again” is too familiar by a large measure, it still deflects enough expectations of the romance genre that it stands out in that regard. The film thrives on the infectious joy of collaboration and creativity, and Carney perfectly captures a number of small moments between its wholly authentic characters.

While “Begin Again” is no powerhouse of emotion, its charming performances and emotional musical numbers make a worthy, if forgettable, use of its brisk 104 minutes.
