Council hopefuls discuss resources By Jackie Wang @jcqlnwng

The three candidates vying to be the first District 9 representative in the newly restructured Austin City Council discussed public transportation, affordability and Sixth Street safety at a forum Thursday hosted by the city’s Ethics Review Commission and the League of Women Voters. In 2013, Austin voters approved reformatting the council from six citywide elected

members to a district representation system made up of 10 members. The mayor will continue to be elected citywide. Under the new system, much of the University, downtown Austin, West Campus and Hyde Park are located in District 9. The new council will be elected in November and take office in January. Council members Kathie Tovo and Chris Riley, and Erin McGann, a program supervisor in the Department of Criminal Justice, are competing for the first

District 9 council seat. At Thursday’s forum, held at the Palmer Events Center, McGann said she was running because the council had become out of touch with the city and criticized its approval of the urban rail. McGann also said the proposed urban rail would not actually decrease traffic, and suggested more parking lots would help alleviate the growing traffic problem. “The proposed rail will

BUSINESS

Student favorite closing after 13 years By Eleanor Dearman @ellydearman

Next week, the owner of JP’s Java, JP Hogan, will close the business he started 13 years ago. JP’s Java, a coffee shop on San Jacinto Boulevard, is set to close Sept. 24. According to Hogan, he and his co-investors put the shop on the market due to a lack of profit. Hogan said the property has a potential buyer, but he has not been told what the real estate will be used for once the shop is gone. The purchase will not be official until Oct. 3, but Hogan said he expects the deal to go through and is shutting down the shop early to prepare. If the deal does not go through, there is a chance JP Java’s could stay open for a while longer.

CAMPUS

Greek protest over new city sound rules rescheduled Students from UT’s Greek community planned a march to the Tower on Thursday in protest of a new plan by city officials to reduce West Campus event and sound ordinance violations, but the protest was rescheduled hours before its start for Sept. 25. According to Austin Fire Department Lt. Brad Price, the plan requires organizations that want to hold events to apply for a permit through the Austin Center for Events at least 21 days in advance, as well as submit a site plan detailing the makeup of the property and a map of the event site or household. Price said the 21-day notice requirement will go into effect on Oct. 1. The new plan would also put limits on live music events in West Campus. Price said he was unsure how the plan would affect Round Up, a Greek community event held in the spring. According to Price, the new application process is being implemented in response to the department’s increased workload and issues it sees in upholding safety codes. He said the new plan will allow for more coordination between city agencies. APD and AFD officials held a meeting with representatives from fraternities, sororities and co-ops in West Campus on Sept. 3 to inform students of the new plan. According to a Facebook event page for the protest, the event was moved to next week

Claire Sembera is the project head of a group developing biodiesel fuel for the University’s own use.

Student engineers create biodiesel fuel By Eleanor Dearman @ellydearman

UT students are using oil from University buildings to create their own biodiesel fuel that will eventually be used in University vehicles. In 2013, a group of students from Engineers for a Sustainable World were awarded $15,000 by the Green Fee Committee — a University funded grant for projects

related to sustainability — to purchase a biodiesel reactor. UT graduate Kendall Ernst, author of the proposal and former project head, said the group will use the reactor to convert leftover grease from University dining halls and buildings into biodiesel for UT transportation vehicles.

The first lesson of juggling is learning how to become comfortable throwing and catching a bean bag or soft ball from one’s dominant hand to their non-dominant hand. This step may sound simple, but it’s where every beginner starts in the Texas Juggling Society. Psychology graduate student Nathaniel Blanco said he joined the organization two years ago with relatively few juggling skills. But Blanco, now president of the society, said his persistence in going to weekly meetings helped him improve and learn that juggling, for all its challenges, is rewarding. “Even as you increase in skill and master new tricks, there are always a large number of other tricks to work on or even invent at so that it never gets boring,” Blanco said. “A lot of other skills I’ve acquired in the past become boring once

you get too good at them, but juggling allows for endless complexity.” Blanco, who can now juggle multiple balls and clubs and even combine those props to juggle them all together, said expanding upon tricks requires patience and perseverance.

“A large part of learning quickly is practicing in a way that supports effective muscle memory learning,” Blanco said. “But patience is key because even as it seems like you are not making progress, your muscle memory is building, and it will eventually pay off.”

created from biological materials that produce oil instead of fossil fuels or coal. He said using grease is sustainable because it is recycling waste. “Instead of using a bunch of water and fertilizer to grow crops, we’re using a waste product that would normally be thrown away or turned into something else,” Ernst said. “Using that waste product, you create a fuel so you have a lesser overall environmental impact.” UT Parking and Transportation Services currently offers biodiesel as a fueling option. Fleet manager Mark Kaligian, who has been working with the students, said that

out of about 600 PTS vehicles, 50 take diesel and biodiesel fuel. According to Kaligian, PTS’ biodiesel is bought from a state fuel contract. “We use it seasonally. It tends to gel at very cold temperatures, and that will clog fuel filters,” Kaligian said. “So, typically we’ll use biodiesel from about midMarch to mid-September, when there’s warmer temperatures.” Ernst said the actual process of creating the biodiesel is straightforward. “Take the oil, you put it into a vat, then you add catalysts, which is a base like sodium hydroxide. Then

sales drop by approximately 30 percent, and over winter break, when sales are reduced by about 50 percent. “This place is real deceptive to people,” Hogan said. “This place is packed all the time, and it looks like it’s just making money hand-overfists, but it’s not. It can look packed, all the tables can be full, but each person paid four dollars, and they’re sitting there two, three [or] four hours.” According to Columbia Mishra, former Graduate Student Assembly president and mechanical engineering graduate student, said the shop’s location and atmosphere made it a central gathering spot for members of the graduate school

community. Mishra said she often meets people from different departments there who she would not have met otherwise. Mishra started a petition for JP’s Java to stay in business. As of Thursday, the petition had 237 supporters. “I associate JP’s with my UT experience, and I’m pretty sure that if you read the comments, you will see that others feel the same,” Mishra said. Hogan said he knows a lot of the people who have signed and commented on the petition, and that he feels honored by how much they care about JP’s Java. “I can’t keep losing money to make everyone happy, but I’m just really appreciative

Parking is a resource and it needs to be managed carefully, thoughtfully and responsibly.” According to Tovo, neighborhoods without off-street parking may have trouble if driveways are small or residents need to find parking for friends.

you add methanol, which is an alcohol, and it undergoes this reaction called ‘transesterification,’” Ernst said. “Basically, the triglycerides in the oil get turned into fatty acid methyl esters, which are chemically equivalent to diesel fuel.” Sembera said she thinks the recycling of waste to create biodiesel will provide another dimension to UT’s sustainability efforts. “This is important because it’s taking that next step of reducing the fuel imprint, along with emissions and fuel intake at the University, making it a more sustainable campus,” Sembera said. of the kind things that have been said,” Hogan said. Hogan said he wanted to bring gourmet coffee to Austin when he opened JP’s Java in 2001. “Around 2000, coffee really had a big change, and my goals were two things,” Hogan said. “One, have the best coffee in town, and two was to build a place that was homey, where people could come and relax. A home away from home.” Michael Vaclav, one of the shop’s original two baristas and owner of Caffé Medici, said he learned about the culture of coffee at JP’s. He said Hogan was one of the first people in Austin to focus on the quality, types and sources of the coffee being sold — all of which are Edwin Qian, Interfraternity Council president, said the council is working to resolve its chapters’ issues with the plan with the City Council. “I think if they are going to enforce it, we’re obviously going to see a lot less parties,” Qian said. “We’re obviously going to see people getting pretty upset about it.” Additional reporting by Eleanor Dearman.

A real-life cat and mouse chase took place on campus Wednesday night when two nonUT subjects dressed in cat and mouse costumes were arrested at the Perry-Castañeda Library, according to UTPD spokeswoman Cindy Posey. Posey said officers were dispatched to Mezes Hall at 5:11 p.m. Wednesday, after they received reports of two non-UT subjects interrupting classes. According to UTPD’s Campus Watch report, the cat and mouse were reported dancing around the South Mall prior to entering classrooms, where they disrupted classes that were in session. The two were accompanied by two other non-UT subjects, who were capturing their tales on video. Posey said officers detained the four subjects at the library, issuing two of them criminal trespass warnings and arresting the other two. Both arrested subjects were charged with disrupting a meeting or procession, and one was also charged with assault by contact, Posey said. Officers later discovered one of the four subjects had previously received a criminal trespass warning. According to Texas law, disrupting a meeting or procession is a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $2,000 and/or 180 days in jail. — Natalie Sullivan

He was really open and talked to me a lot about it.” JP said there is a possibility of the shop opening in a different location, but he does not know where or when this would happen, if at all. “I may be back, but as I leave, I see a coffee culture that has been totally transformed,” Hogan said. “I’m not saying I transformed it, not in any way am I saying that, but I’m really glad I had a part in [the transformation].”

“One of the things we can do to make sure we can preserve the quality of life in our neighborhoods is to pay attention to things like parking,” Tovo said. The candidates also addressed affordable housing. Riley said District 9 is a diverse area with need for a wide variety of housing. “Currently, we’re not doing a very good job of providing the options that are needed to meet every housing need that’s out there,” Riley said. “It serves everyone’s interests to have a great diversity of housing options. District 9 is a great place to provide a model for the rest of the city and for the country.” Tovo said one way of creating more affordable housing would be preserving older houses, as well as requiring developers to provide housing on-site if applying for the city’s density bonus program. “Within District 9, I

think we have some good opportunities, one in the area of preservation,” Tovo said. “We also need to look carefully how we use our density bonus programs. We lost millions of dollars of money that could have been used for affordable housing.” McGann addressed Sixth Street and the safety issues that accompany its popularity. “I would like to see Austin have a sobriety center,” McGann said. “The center would allow access to people who are not necessarily breaking the law but need somewhere safe if they cannot go home.” Tovo said the importance of Sixth Street to Austin makes it more imperative to improve safety in the area. “People need to feel comfortable eating and enjoying the nightlife,” Tovo said. “We need to make sure we have adequate officers in the street.”

4A OPINION

RILEY BRANDS, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF / @TexanEditorial Friday, September 19, 2014

POINT/COUNTERPOINT

Anastasia Garcia / Daily Texan File Photo

Texas Board of Education members listen to speakers giving their opinions regarding the controversial addition of supplemental science materials into the Texas education system in 2011.

Editor’s Note: On Tuesday, the Texas Board of Education heard testimony from a number of educators who voiced objection to a proposed set of history textbooks. Over the summer, a number of history graduate students from UT participated in a review of these textbooks and found them severely lacking in many areas. Below, we have printed the thoughts of one of those reviewers as well as the opposing viewpoint of one of our columnists.

History textbooks on offer distort America’s, world’s By Christopher Heaney Guest Columnist

Nizam Al-Mulk was born in 1018 CE, in a small village near the Persian city of Tus. Under the Seljuk empire he rose to a position of immense power. As vizier and the empire’s de facto ruler until his assassination in 1092, Al-Mulk organized fiefdoms, built a multiethnic army and pushed the Seljuk’s sphere of influence all the way to the Mediterranean. In between, he found time to write a celebrated treatise on government and to found schools of great learning. In a word, he was a statesman, one of the most effective in world history. But that’s not the impression Texas high school students will get if the State Board of Education recommends a world history textbook submitted by one respected educational publishing company. Instead, they’ll learn — as I did when I reviewed the book in June — that Al-Mulk, who also happened to be Muslim, was “the leading terrorist of his age.” My jaw dropped. This wasn’t just an error of emphasis — it was just plain wrong, a politicized, ahistorical regression through time of a concept, ‘terrorism,’ that responsible historians trace back to the late 18th century at the earliest. Nor was it an isolated mistake. This week the SBOE held public hearings on a raft of history, geography and government textbooks submitted by publishers to meet the social studies curriculum standards approved in 2010. Those standards, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, or TEKS, have been highly controversial, characterized by the conservative Thomas B. Fordham Institute as a “politicized distortion of history” filled with “misrepresentations at every turn.” These misrepresentations were caused by the ideologues that controlled the SBOE in 2010, which passed an additional resolution warning publishers not to submit textbooks “biased” in favor of Islam. The publishers got the message and then some. This summer the Texas Freedom Network coordinated a team of Texas historians and doctoral candidates in history at UT Austin, like myself, to review 43 of the books under submission. We found that, in attempting to comply with Texas’ biased, jumbled stan-

dards, publishers have submitted texts that will leave our students confused and wrongheaded about history. Some of those notions are unsurprising to those of us who followed the SBOE’s debate over creationism and high school science textbooks. The U.S. history and government textbooks under review, for example, proved particularly susceptible to the TEKS that exaggerate Judeo-Christian influence on America’s founding and diminish the well-established constitutional concept of the separation of church and state. Other texts imply that the so-called ‘culture war’ can be settled by including non-Eurasian actors but not their history. For every seven chapters that the publisher of the same world history textbook gave Europe and Asia, Africa and Latin America got two, which were then peppered with generalizations and errors as absurd as that of al-Mulk: the Incas, who governed a highly-organized empire of agriculturalists and artisans, were apparently a “welfare state.” Calling them one, though, reflects the publishers’ failure to challenge the TEKS’ antitax, anti-regulation, free enterprise agenda. It shouldn’t be too much to ask that textbooks portray one of world history’s central lessons: that in the 18th and 19th centuries, expansions in democratic ideals and free labor in Europe and America were linked to the expansion of un-free labor and colonialism elsewhere in the world. Students should also learn how the U.S. government has historically regulated the economy and protected the rights of workers. They should not learn that an expansion of trade in serf-filled Medieval Europe meant that a “spirit of free enterprise reigned.” Fortunately, it’s not too late for Texas and America’s other states, whose textbook options are deeply affected by the buying power of our educational system. It behooves Texans who care about the past, told accurately and well, to follow the SBOE’s public hearings and to sign the TFN’s call for accurate textbooks and improved TEKS for Texas students. Our history, and their future, hang in the balance. Heaney is a Harrington Doctoral Fellow in the Department of History.

Along with teacher choice, textbooks offer fine options By Breanne Deppisch Daily Texan Columnist

Sparks flew in Austin on Tuesday as over 50 educators lashed out in response to a proposed set of history textbooks. The new books have drawn criticism from some who say the materials are “biased and misinformed”— and more concerned with meeting 2010 TEKS guidelines than providing students with accurate information. However, research from the Texas Freedom Network Education fund suggests otherwise. Despite the pressures TEKS places on public education throughout the state, however, recent research from the Texas Freedom Network Education Fund actually counters what many academics are loathe to admit: Educators have access to an ample spectrum of textbooks in both quality and content. And rather than blaming the system, responsibility can be placed on the educators themselves — who have every right to choose objective texts over ones polluted by biases. Board members will vote on the new books in November, and if approved, will be implemented in classrooms starting as early as 2015. The agenda of the textbooks has been questioned by both sides. “There is a relentless glorification of the American free Enterprise System,” says Jacqueline Jones, history department chair at The University of Texas at Austin. The text is “skeptical of government programs of any kind,” and at times portrays them as “misguided.” Others find fault with misrepresentation of Islamic religion and false portrayal of violent political histories. In one example, the word “jihad” is improperly defined — in another, the textbook looks favorably upon Cuba’s communist history. “Our students deserve textbooks that are historically accurate; not politically correct,” said former history teacher Amy Baker. It is impossible to overstate the importance in freedom within one’s education. At such a young age, students should certainly be free to explore these ideas from bias, or pre-imposed ideological values. But I am here today to argue that regardless of TEKS History standards, the ultimate choice is still held at the hands of the educator. In response to this ideological dispute, the Tex-

as Freedom Network Education Fund recently conducted a study reviewing textbook accuracy at each level, and weighing it with compliance to TEKS. And though there were indeed materials that bowed completely to TEKS requirements, the researchers also found that many materials simultaneously met state requirements while maintaining respectful distance from endorsement of any kind. For each source that researchers noted was written with conservative, capitalism-touting undertones, for example — existed a balanced and objective counterpart. But the hyper-polarized academics on both sides of the political spectrum won’t want you to see that. This “textbook debate” is not nearly as blackand-white as highfalutin academics insist. And in actuality, TEKS leaves more breathing room for publishers than some would have you believe — the abundance of informative and unbiased choices are solid proof. Texas also has a large influence on the national textbook market — weighing in at about 48 million textbooks per year, we yield one of the largest market clouts in the country. Publishers nationwide scramble to supply the needs of such a readily-consuming state. And educators, therefore, are never at a loss for an ample arsenal of supplies to choose from. In fact, school districts are free to choose materials that are not approved by the board — they are even free to buy them with state money. This freedom of choice, coupled with an abundance of eager publishers, ensures a market that is much too large to be engulfed by ideological persuasion. “A good teacher will know how to take advantage of this situation,” says Kirk White, a middle school social studies teacher in Austin. Are there examples that tout flagrant ideology and factual misrepresentation? Yes, and one would be hard-pressed to find a field that doesn’t yield this type of misinformation. But what’s more important is the ample amount of viable alternatives for educators to choose from. Textbooks range enormously in fact and quality — and despite the restrictive TEKS requirements, a comprehensive and quality education can most certainly be achieved.

COLUMN

Stop Patriarchy fundamentally disrespects rights of the unborn By Kathleen Morgan Guest Columnist

Last week, The Daily Texan ran an opinion piece entitled “Stop Patriarchy protester: Don’t give up the fight for abortion rights,” by Adrienne Luendo. As a student at the University of Texas and the president of our pro-life organization, Texas Students for Life, I feel that the group is woefully misguided. Many students have seen Stop Patriarchy loudly proclaiming their mantra of “Abortion on demand without apology” on the Drag, outside the Governor’s Mansion and even at events such as Batfest. Although the group claims to be a champion for women, I beg to differ. As Luendo herself points out, in our era of legalized abortion, 47,000 women die annually from botched abortions. This is a rate nine times

higher than that of when abortion was illegal, according to Luendo’s own statistics. Clearly, legalized abortion is doing no favors for women’s health. Since certain provisions of HB 2 — the Senate version of which state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, filibustered and the very legislation that Stop Patriarchy is protesting — call for abortion facilities to meet higher medical standards, is it not in the woman’s best interest to be “treated” at a facility that meets these standards? I use the term “treated” loosely because I see pregnancy — that is, new life — as a blessing and not as a disease. Although it decries the massive number of deaths caused by botched abortions, Stop Patriarchy does not support legislation that would make facilities safer. Instead, they would prefer a greater number of less safe clinics to a smaller number of safe clinics. It would appear

that Stop Patriarchy’s views on this topic are inconsistent at best. Although I support HB 2 because I know that the new restrictions imposed would shut down clinics and result in the saving of human lives, I also support it because it shows compassion for the health and safety of the abortion-minded woman. The greatest difference between the pro-life community and the pro-choice community (including Stop Patriarchy) is that pro-lifers celebrate life in all forms: the unborn, disabled and men and women alike. The pro-choice community fails to see the unborn (especially the disabled unborn) as deserving of human dignity. In fact, to the pro-choice community, the value of the unborn seems to rest solely upon how wanted they are. If the mother wants the child, then we are excited for her baby and will go so far as to pick out names, buy gifts and even

talk to her swollen belly. On the other hand, if the child is unwanted, it suddenly loses the title of “baby” in favor of the popular “blob of cells” or “fetal tissue.” Here lies another inconsistency where society is defining life based on whether the mother wants the child, rather than on objective science. In the article, Luendo writes that it “is immoral to force [the woman] into motherhood against her will” and that during the group’s stint in jail, they “were treated as less than human.” I empathize with Luendo, for no one should be treated without dignity and respect. Nonetheless, her hyperbole is equally applicable to the atrocities she is condoning, as it is immoral to force the unborn to die against their will, and it is likewise immoral to treat them as less than human.

Energy professionals discuss renewable resources at panel By Nidia Cavazos @NCnidia

Three members from the energy industry discussed the future of renewable energy in an on-campus panel hosted by the UT Energy Symposium on Thursday. The panel, held in the Peter O’Donnell Jr. Building, addressed the specific aspects of how to move toward a solar powered society. Clay Butler, managing partner at The Butler Firm, a consulting firm focused on clean and renewable energy transactions, said citizens need to turn their attention and actions to the solar industry. “What are you passionate about?” Butler said. “Whatever you are passionate about, you can do it with the solar industry. The market is being born and it is unlimited.” The speakers said that the solar industry is new,

though, the idea of solarderived energy has long been established. The panelists said people usually oppose solar energy because they do not have enough information about its benefits. Spivey Paup, solar development manager at the energy company E.ON, said several preliminary actions need to be taken in order to build solar fields and wind farms. “Environmental analysis, historical survey, permitting, geotechnical engineering design, energy sales, financing and construction are some of the factors that are taken into consideration,” Paup said. After the speakers finished their presentations, members of the audience had time to ask questions or bring up concerns about solar power. Several audience members discussed the economic impact of solar powering, including the potential tax revenues

and other incentives for local communities to make the transition. Colin Meehan from First Solar, an American provider of photovoltaic solar energy solutions, said cost is an incentive for switching to solar energy. “Under current [Electric Reliability Council of Texas] assumptions, solar [will be] cost-competitive in 2021,” Meehan said. Allan Aw, a global policy studies graduate student who attended the symposium, said it was his interest in solar power that specifically brought him in to listen. “I was part of the Alliance for Energy Public Policy club that hosted this talk and I think, in general, all of us that are in that club in the LBJ school are very interested in energy policy,” Aw said. “In general, I think all of us have interest in utilities and power, and that is what brought me here.”

New York Times columnist Ross Douthat speaks about the future of marriage in Mezes Hall on Thursday afternoon.

Columnist deliberates marriage By Sebastian Vega @sebantoniovega

The New York Times columnist Ross Douthat spoke Thursday about the evolution of marriage and the possible changes marriage could see in the future. Douthat said there are behavioral and ideological divisions among different types of American marriages today. “This divide around marriage has become one of the most vivid illustrations of class division in America overall,” Douthat said. According to Douthat, the behavioral divide is the difference between educated couples with advanced degrees who are getting married and working-class couples who sometimes have children but do not get married or get married and then get divorced. “Alongside that divide, you have the emergence of an ideological rivalry between different conceptions of what marriage is,” Douthat said. “This divide

tracks pretty closely with religious beliefs. It travels some extent with political ideology, and it picks an older, more ‘traditional conception,’ which stress the interrelation of sex and marriage, and child rearing, and views gender complementarity as having something to do with the institution of marriage.” Douthat said he sees the role of marriage in American society moving in one of four directions in the future. The first scenario he discussed predicted an economic change and a return to antiquated gender roles. According to Douthat, this new model of marriage would be strengthened by steady wage growth for less-educated parts of cities. This would, in turn, structure families and marriages by following the education, then job, then children trajectory. The second scenario Douthat discussed depicts the role of marriage as more neotraditional and egalitarian. According to Douthat,

this scenario is more realistic about sex before marriage in regards to gender roles, and these couples would be less likely to divorce. Douthat’s third scenario predicted the fading away of marriage. Douthat said scenario three stresses conscious coupling and uncoupling, in which more college educated people would have long-term partnerships that progress into raising children as a family. Douthat said the fourth scenario resembles current marriages. “Actually, things might not change that much,” Douthat said. “We might have reached a place that is a stable equilibrium for society as a whole, even though it is unstable for the personal lives and upbringings of a large segment of the poor and working-class America.” Economics graduate student Jane Ryngaert said she was glad the scenarios featured various perspectives. “I think he was pretty optimistic about all of it in general,” Ryngaert said. “It was nice that not all four of them were ‘doomsday.’”

WEEKEND PREVIEW

VOLLEYBALL Sophomore outside hitter Amy Neal still feels the Nebraska rivalry exists, even after Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten. For the third time in two years, the rivals will meet Saturday in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The Nebraska rivalry lives on By Jacob Martella @ViewFromTheBox

Before the latest round of conference realignment, the Big 12 volleyball championship usually went through Austin or Lincoln, Nebraska. Since the conference’s inception in 1996, Texas and Nebraska have a combined 17 conference titles and finished first and second eight times. And even after the Cornhuskers left for the Big Ten, the rivalry between the schools has continued. “It’s always been crazy, and I think it’s just as big as when they were [in the Big 12],” junior outside hitter Amy Neal said. The two top-10 teams will write a new chapter in the rivalry Saturday at 2 p.m. when they face off in Lincoln. “It’s what makes this sport fun,” head coach Jerritt Elliott said. “We get an opportunity to play one of the premier programs in

the country.” Overall, the stats show that Nebraska has dominated the rivalry. The Cornhuskers boast a 30-19 record over the Longhorns and took home 11 conference titles while they were in the Big 12. In a stretch from 1994 to 2000, Nebraska beat Texas in 10 of 12 matches, including a 3-1 win in the 1995 national championship game. After Elliott was hired as the head coach in 2001, it took the Longhorns 10 matches to finally defeat the Cornhuskers. “They used to eat our lunch pretty bad when I got here,” Elliott said. But in recent years, the tide has turned. The Longhorns have won six of the past seven meetings. Last year in the regular season, Texas battled to a 3-2 win in Austin. Then the rivalry went to the next level when the two faced off in the Lincoln Regional final with a Final Four spot

on the line. Despite the Cornhuskers’ home-court advantage, the Longhorns managed to hand them a sweep. “I’m sure they’re focused on trying to be able to redeem themselves,” Elliott said. The trip to Lincoln is the second time in three weeks the Longhorns will face a top-tier team in a tough environment. On Sept. 6, they beat then No. 11 Florida in Gainesville. Elliott said he likes scheduling tough matches in the nonconference season to get his team ready for conference play and the postseason. “We need to put our team in some environments that are chaotic and tough to play in, and Nebraska provides that,” Elliott said. The No. 2 Longhorns (7-0) come into this meeting undefeated and having only dropped one of their 22 sets this year. Texas’ eight players with doubledigit kills and six players with 30 or more kills have

Longhorns to take on No. 1 UCLA @dclay567

A pair of losses on the road this past weekend put a halt to the women’s soccer team’s otherwise promising start to the season, and it won’t get any easier this weekend when the reigning NCAA champions roll into Austin. No. 1 UCLA (6-0-1) will be the first test of the weekend on Friday at 7:30 p.m. before Texas heads down the road to San Marcos to take on Texas State (4-2-1) Sunday at 7 p.m. The games will give the unranked Longhorns (4-2-2) a chance to halt their current skid and vault them into consideration for a top-25 rank. Or, very easily, they could continue the skid and make their uphill climb much more difficult. “I believe at any given moment, [the Bruins] have eight senior starters that have played internationally,” head coach Angela Kelly said. “We will pursue the best talent in the country, and if UCLA is the reigning national champion, then we want to use

going to set the world afire this week, but we will work on a few things and focus on improving for our big races later in the season. … The next race is where we really want to make a statement.” This 5,000-meter race comes as preparation for some of the largest races of the season, like the Roy Griak Invitational, which will be hosted in Minnesota next weekend. That invitational promises huge competition for the Longhorns, bringing in some of the strongest national teams in both the college and high school ranks. Before that, though, the first step is down in San Antonio, and Texas wants to win. “Because the men are ranked 23rd in the nation, we want to make some kind of statement this week,” Herbster said.

Maxwell said if one desires to learn how to juggle, then practice is crucial. “Dropping [a prop] is an inevitable part of learning,” Maxwell said. “While a drop can be frustrating, growth comes from picking the object up and getting back into the pattern. It’s better to see the whole pattern peripherally than to focus intently on the individual objects in the pattern.” Blanco said the society is a supportive community, which is one of the reasons he joined. “Juggling is also playing,” Blanco said. “And really, I’m a child at heart.”

Maxwell said there are various benefits to juggling, such as improving hand-eye coordination and reflexes. In addition, a recent study by professors at Johns Hopkins University revealed juggling could help scientists and neurologists understand how human senses help humans run. The research may lead to improved treatment of people with neurological diseases and better, more efficient prosthetic limbs.

created a balanced and deep attack. Neal said the deep lineup and tough competition has helped the team’s confidence this season. “In our gym in practice, it’s super competitive, which makes everyone train really hard,” Neal said. “Knowing if someone is struggling, that another person can go in, it builds our confidence in our team.” Despite its No. 9 ranking, Nebraska (5-2) dropped two matches to top-15 teams earlier this season against No. 6 Florida State and No. 1 Stanford. The Cornhuskers also have just one senior on a roster made up primarily of sophomores. Still, this latest chapter in the rivalry will likely be the Longhorns’ toughest test so far this season. “This match doesn’t determine whether our season ends or not,” Elliott said. “We can take this match and learn from it.”

Texas will end its threeweek hiatus this weekend in San Antonio, returning to the UTSA Ricardo Romo Classic after flattening the competition last season. Both the men’s and women’s cross country teams will be putting their best runners in, with senior All-American Craig Lutz returning for the No. 23 men’s team and sophomore Arkansas transfer Sandie Raines looking to start her career on the right foot for the women after sitting the first meet out. Assistant coach Brad Herbster is making sure his runners see this meet as an important stepping stone to future competition. “With this UTSA meet, we are going to try to do our own thing and focus on what we want to accomplish down the road,” Herbster said. “We’re not

this game as a litmus test and go after it.” The defending champion Bruins are riding a surge that started early last season and shows no signs of stopping. UCLA’s last defeat came 29 games ago when the team lost a 1-0 match on the road against North Carolina over a year ago. At first glance, UCLA senior goalkeeper Katelyn Rowland appears to have been the driving force behind the Bruins’ success in the early going. The national team stalwart has recorded 638 consecutive minutes of shutout ball this season and holds the UCLA record for career shutouts with 42. However, Rowland may not even be the most feared aspect of the Bruin defense. That title goes to the UCLA defenders, who have allowed a mere 18 shots all season, with only five of those on goal. If the Longhorns do have a silver lining in their matchup against the best defense team in the nation, it is the Texas offense, led by freshman forward Olivia Brook and

senior defender Brooke Gilbert; it has had no problems creating shots recently. Even in last weekend’s shutouts, the team managed 14 shots in each game. The Longhorns appear poised to take on the challenge despite being massive underdogs. “All the pressure is on them,” senior midfielder Sharis Lachappelle said. “They have everything to lose, and we have everything to gain.” Texas State is no UCLA, but the Bobcats have put together a solid showing early on and their defense has only allowed five goals all season. Texas State is undefeated at home, which does not bode well for a Longhorn team that has struggled on the road this season. Kelly, though, does not appear worried about her team’s early road troubles. “It would be similar for any squad,” Kelly said. “It’s just not as much of a controlled environment, but any highlevel quality player is used to those types of things.”

Candy inventor seeks to make Austin sweeter English sophomore Eloy Gonzalez makes his “Krazy Straws” by combining American candies with Mexican spices. Gonzalez has been making the candies since high school, where he sold them to raise funds for his high school’s chapter of National Honor Society.

Some of the most famous candy combinations started as happy accidents. English sophomore Eloy Gonzalez’s candy-making story is much the same — it started with an accident during his days in high school. “I was with my cousin and his girlfriend at the time, and I was eating Sour Punch Straws, and they were eating Trechas with fruit,” Gonzalez said. “When I had my candy, my cousin bumped into his girlfriend, and she spilled the powder on the Sour Punch Straws.” Trechas is a Mexican chili powder that comes in different flavors. At first, Gonzalez thought his candy was ruined by the chili powder, but realized he had discovered something completely new. Biology sophomore Salvador Arellano said he can’t really pinpoint what the flavor is; he just knows he always wants more. “Since we were like five minutes from Mexico, we’d have access to all the Mexican candies and spices, and it was good to have something that was mixed with a common American candy,” Arellano said. “Just the fusion of a little bit of Mexican powder and Mexican sweet sugars can turn it into a whole new candy.” Gonzalez made more of the candy, cutting different flavored Sour Punch Straws

into bite-sized pieces and mixing them with sweet Trechas and named them “Krazy Straws.” He also mixed some with Chamoy, a savory-sweet Mexican sauce, and named those “Addicts.” He brought them to his high school in snacksized Ziploc bags, selling them for two dollars a bag, and the business took off from there. Now, he hopes to bring his creations to UT. “College kids would make an effort to drive to

my house after school and buy the candy,” Gonzalez said. “One particular kid that stood out was a guy named Brandon. He would buy a bag every single day. So, that’s ten dollars, Monday through Friday.” Krazy Straws sold so well that Gonzalez’s National Honor Society chapter decided to sell the candies for its fundraiser that year. They raised about $600. When Gonzalez graduated, his friend Vicente

Barton, now an aerospace engineering freshman at UT, continued selling Krazy Straws during his senior year of high school. That year, their NHS chapter made a profit of $3,000. “It turned from something for recreation, making candy [and] selling it to friends, to raising for a good cause,” Arellano said. Gonzalez is now bringing Krazy Straws and Addicts to UT. He first introduced the candy to his

multicultural fraternity, Delta Alpha Omega, and is planning on selling them for DAO’s fundraiser. Gonzalez also accepts orders on Facebook, and he hopes to open up a booth on campus in the future. “So far, I’m making the candy myself, but when people want to invest and help out, I’m more than open to that,” Gonzalez said. “But the best thing people can do is spread the word. Spread the word and

people will flock.” Business sophomore Michael Segovia said he thinks Krazy Straws are going to take off. “Here, not a lot of people have heard of Hot Cheetos and cheese, but once you go to South Texas, it’s kind of big thing,” Segovia said. “So I just like the idea that bringing the candy here, you’ve got all these cultures mixing, and people are intrigued by this Mexican candy.”

Hashtag leads locals to free art By Jackie Wang @jcqlnwng

Every Friday, Austin turns into a playing field for a free art hide-andseek game. On Instagram, the hashtag #ATXFreeArtFriday is the only road map to the different pieces of free art scattered across Austin. Local artists post visual clues on Instagram each Friday and mark their photos with the official Free Art Friday hashtag. Art collective SprATX started Free Art Friday. Molly Maroney, UT alumna and SprATX co-founder, said Free Art Friday had been going on in other parts of the country before coming to Austin. “It started out of a fun idea,” Maroney said. “[Someone said], ‘Let’s put out some free art and try this thing that’s happening.’

When we did it, it caught people’s attention, and people who were finding things started putting things out. Free Art Friday is open to everyone. Rosa Sandoval, who works as a certified clinical hemodialysis technician, started participating soon after she moved to Austin from Ocala, Florida. Austin sparked creativity that Ocala never did, Sandoval said. “I found SprATX, saw one Friday they were doing it, so I made a few pieces that day and put them out,” Sandoval said. “I’ve done so much more here in a year and a half than I ever did [in Ocala]. I love doing it, hiding stuff for people.” Sandoval hid one of her latest pieces, a pillow featuring the cartoon character Doug with a cape flowing behind him, by the Short Bus Subs food truck. Sandoval usually drives around the city

with her dog to hide her pieces, trying not to over-think her placement. “I pretty much just pick spots,” Sandoval said. “If you hide them too close, then the person who finds the first thing will find the second thing too. Once, I hid something in BookPeople in the children’s section. Most of the time, I hide them outside.” Studio art junior Michael Martin has hidden an art piece in the past and plans to hide more in the future. The first piece he hid was a screen print commemorating Houston’s rap culture. “It was a line of promethazine syrup bottles, Andy Warhol style,” Martin said. “If you listen to Texas rap, the syrup is just all over the place. It’s a prescription drug.” Sandoval said she will hide two pieces on campus Friday and post clues on her

Instagram account, @rosiepantaloons. She said she looks forward to scavengers’ reactions the most. “That’s the best part, when people find it,” Sandoval said. “I don’t always

do this, but sometimes I’ll hide it and hang out and wait and see someone find it. People have jumped up and screamed, ‘It’s so cute.’” According to Maroney, SprATX has no concrete

plans for the future of Free Art Friday. “It started as a community project, and it continues to be one,” Maroney said. “It’ll go where Austin wants to.”
