UT to report more sex-based crimes

Professors discuss U.S. border law enforcement

crimes because of changes made this year to the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, a federal law that deals with crimes like sexual assault or other violent acts against women, and the Clery Act, which requires colleges to keep and disclose information about crime on and near their campuses.

Under the updated laws, this year the University reported domestic violence, dating violence and stalking

Updates to federal laws have prompted a more focused response to domestic violence, dating violence and stalking crimes on campus, according to a University official.

According to Jennifer Hammat, institutional Title IX coordinator and assistant vice president for student affairs, universities are now required to report these

crimes for 2013 in its Annual Security Report for the first time.

In an email, Hammat said the statistics in this year’s report are a general attempt by the University to collect data, but, in the future, all U.S. colleges and universities will be required to report on these crimes.

“The recent updates … mandated that the University make a ‘good faith

Wendy Davis’ campaign stops on campus

By Jackie Wang @jclqnwng

With one week of early voting left before Election Day, State Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, took the microphone in front of a packed SAC Ballroom and encouraged students to vote during her on-campus stop in her gubernatorial campaign.

“For the first time in 14 years, we are going to elect a new governor,” Davis said. “The question is who will that governor be, and the answer is in all of your hands. It’s truly up to you at this point.”

Before Davis spoke to her audience, her 25-year-old daughter, Dru Davis, thanked the crowd of students and locals for their support.

“I’m so excited by the voter turnout and the enthusiasm that you guys have,” Dru said. “I’m also

Two assistant professors discussed the realities of law enforcement surrounding the border and by-products of the border crisis, rejecting the misconception that the U.S. Border Patrol is militarized, and addressing the growing tension between U.S. law enforcement and volunteer-based Border Patrol groups.

C.J. Alvarez, assistant professor of Mexican American and Latina/o studies, examined the characteristics and power of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Sociology assistant professor Harel Shapira talked about the Minuteman Project, a volunteer-based organization that aims to protect communities surrounding the border.

Alvarez said, in comparison to other U.S. law enforcement agencies, the Border Patrol is much different.

“It’s five times bigger than other agencies and 42 percent Hispanic — three times higher than any other agency,” Alvarez said. “People want to read that colloquially — that there’s a solidarity between Mexican-Americans and Mexican nationals. The best way to understand is to look at the demography — it’s heavily Hispanic in border towns.”

Alvarez said he believed

UT Press to release book on ‘Boyhood’

By Christina Noriega @c_mnoriega

While the Richard Linklater film “Boyhood” has received much attention for being shot over the course of 12 years, the UT Press is promoting and distributing a new behind-the-scenes photography book on the film.

The book, “Boyhood: Twelve Years on Film,” will

be available in bookstores Saturday. The book includes black-and-white portraits of the film’s protagonists and the supporting cast, quotes from the actors and behindthe-scenes stills from the film, said “Boyhood” photographer Matt Lankes.

The fictional film “Boyhood” shadowed the actor

Since arriving in Austin 14 years ago, Patrick Hughes and his French horn have accompanied everything from the Austin City Brass to Willie Nelson. His next performance will be Tuesday alongside other Butler School of Music faculty members.

Hughes, a music associate professor at UT, will be performing with five other professors in a Faculty Artist Concert at the Jessen Auditorium. The ensemble will also feature the piano, clarinet, bassoon, violin and string bass.

Coming from a large, musical family, Hughes first picked up the french horn in fifth grade not because of a specific desire to play the instrument but because of a desire to be different from his family.

“My family had picked other instruments, and [the horn] was one that was left,” Hughes said. “I also wanted

to be with my friends who were also picking band instruments.”

Despite his unorthodox way for choosing an instrument, Hughes became skilled with the horn, performing in a number of orchestras and ensembles around the country. After attending both St. Olaf College and University of Wisconsin-Madison, he taught at a number of universities before coming to UT in 2001. Hughes said that he came to the University because of the reputation of the school and its faculty.

“It’s a great school,” Hughes said. “The faculty are top-notch. They’re just the cream of the crop. I was happy to join such an exciting school of music.”

Hughes works closely with a small number of students who play the French horn and he meets with each of them for a private

With last week’s UT/ Texas Tribune poll showing Davis trailing her gubernatorial opponent, Attorney General Greg Abbott, by 12 points, Davis said she was unconcerned about her low polling numbers. Davis said her victory would come from her supporters and volunteers.

“We have over 32,000 people volunteering on our campaign right now,” Davis said “These Internet polls really have shown to be wildly inaccurate. In my last two senate races, I was never up in the polls either, but I won. I won because the people were behind me.”

Kathie Tovo, Austin City Council members and candidates for the Council’s District 9 seat, attended Davis’ rally, sporting their own campaign pins on their lapels. Riley walked around speaking to audience members and shaking hands.

“I’ve been talking with a lot of people this morning,” Riley said. “There’s a lot of energy around this whole election and a lot of commonality between the themes that Wendy and I have been talking about in this race.”

After the event, Tovo said she attended the rally to show her support for Davis.

“I’m very supportive of her campaign, especially … her policy regarding education and women’s health are critical,” Tovo said. “I have a lot of hope for the work she will do when she’s elected our governor.”

Shelley Merchant, a parent of a prospective UT student, stood toward the back of the compact crowd. She said she heard about Davis’ event on campus while touring UT. “I’m a big Wendy supporter,” Merchant said. “I’m a school administrator in White Settlement, Texas — a suburb of Fort Worth. I think she’s looking out for the teachers and the rest of us, and it’s a time for a change in Texas.”

Davis emphasized her support for education reform.

“When I marked my ballot on Monday, and I stood in that ballot box marking my name, I could not help but reflect on myself as a little girl,” Davis said. “If I could have told her she would be standing in that moment in time, it’s that opportunity and that path that I want to make possible for every single child in that state. And the only way to make that possible is to support access to college and affordability of college.”

Nutrition senior Jessica Boisseau went straight from Davis’ rally to vote. Boisseau said Davis’ stance on education inspired her.

“I think she is the only candidate willing and able to provide change,” Boisseau said. “I’m working three jobs. One of them is part-time military to pay for school, so her campaign is very exciting.”

According to an Abbott campaign official, Abbott, who is currently on a 25city “Get Out The Vote” tour, has not planned a UT appearance before Election Day on Nov. 4.

Early voting continues until Friday.

continues from page 1 effort’ to report on domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking for the 2014 report,” Hammat said. “The Clery Act language has now been revised to reflect that all colleges and universities report on these crimes going forward.”

The report states that 15 counts of dating violence, 25 counts of domestic violence and 36 stalking incidents happened on or near campus last year.

Hammat said the University is also working to provide training for students and employees about issues of violence and has increased the number of mandated reporters, or people who are required to report a crime if it is told to them, on campus.

“We have increased the number of Campus Security Authorities on campus from around 250 people to just under 2,000 people,” Hammat said. “The hope is that if a student tells someone in authority (a supervisor, an academic advisor, the police, an administrator) the more likely the crime can be reported. Once it is reported, that provides us an opportunity to assist the employee or student with resources [and] support.”

Jane Bost, associate director of prevention and outreach services at UT Counseling and Mental Health Services, said she thinks updated laws, such as these, and an increased focus in the media have

played a big role in raising awareness of domestic and dating violence.

“In the past 13 years, I have never seen a time where there has been this much focus on these issues, which is wonderful,” Bost said. “I think it really started with the White House task force report last year, and then there were these changes [that] are really getting people’s attention. Certainly, when you talk about opinion leaders, like sports figures and athletes … it brings more attention.”

Last summer, the CMHC worked with other campus organizations to get a definition of consent included in the sexual assault policy and created a Title IX resource guide for survivors that provides information and options about services the CMHC offers, Bost said.

Erin Burrows, prevention and outreach specialist at Voices Against Violence, said events such as Relationship Violence Prevention Month in October and the Be An Anchor fundraiser event this month have also raised awareness of relationship violence.

“We work with student organizations to raise awareness and fund raise for the Emergency Survivors Fund,” Burrows said. “Last year, we had 25 student organizations that raised over $8,000 from October to April.”

Bost said the University will continue its efforts to provide resources on these crimes, but the new reporting guidelines are a step in the right direction.

“We can always improve, but I really think we’re meeting and exceeding in these efforts,” Bost said.

Ellar Coltrane from the age of 6-18. During those 12 years of filming, Lankes photographed Coltrane and the supporting cast annually, using the same black-and-white aesthetic in each shoot.

In the beginning of the film shoot, Lankes said he did not realize the impact the project would have on his life. Over the course of several years, his perspective changed.

“As I started to look at all the years I had done, it made [the photography project] feel more special to me,” Lankes said. “[The annual photographs] were almost a family affair. It was a labor of love in that sense.”

When Lankes and the producers behind the film decided to launch the book, Lankes said they wanted to hire a Texas distributor and promoter.

“The movie was shot and directed all in Texas,” Lankes said. “The book was shot completely in Texas by a Texas photographer, and

In a talk hosted by the Department of Sociology, a visiting politics and international relations assistant professor said revolutions were associated with violent actions for many centuries.

But a shift occurred in the 1970s when nonviolence became the popular course of action.

In a lecture in the College of Liberal Arts Building on Monday, Daniel Ritter, a UT alumnus and University of Nottingham assistant professor, talked about changes in revolutions and previewed his upcoming book, “The Iron Cage of Liberalism: International Politics and Unarmed Revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa.”

Ritter addressed two theories of revolution: The first focused on domestic and international politics, and the second was nonviolent action, which focused on voluntarist actions and strategies.

However, when friendly interactions and unarmed violence occur, Ritter said the underlying concept is sociologist Max Weber’s “iron cage of rationality.”

“This relationship between dictators and democrats inadvertently

This relationship between dictators and democrats inadvertently traps both these authoritarian and democratic states by holding them accountable to the shared liberal discourse of democracy and human rights.

—Daniel Ritter, UT alumnus, University of Nottingham assistant professor

traps both these authoritarian and democratic states by holding them accountable to the shared liberal discourse of democracy and human rights,” Ritter said.

Ritter said he shows in his book the positive side of the movements in Iran in 1979, Tunisia and Egypt. He said the countries where the movements failed were Libya, Syria, and Iran in 2009.

Ritter discussed the movement’s implication in Egypt.

As Egypt began to shift from a socialist government to a capitalist system, President Hosni Mubarak used the term democracy as a catch phrase. According to Ritter, it was not until after September 11, 2001, when the U.S. became engaged in the Middle East, that the Egyptian government was forced to behave more democratically.

Sociology associate professor Mounira Charrad, who worked with Ritter when he was a doctorate student, attended the event. “[Ritter] is my friend and former student,” Charrad said.

“I had the privilege to serve as his adviser during his dissertation, which is a small piece of what is now a fascinating book.

I am immensely proud of what he has accomplished. You make us proud, and you make me proud.”

Sociology graduate student Adrian Popan was intrigued by how Ritter pieced it all together.

“It is interesting how [Ritter] has taken these different variables of structure, cultural and individual variables to describe this situation,” Popan said. “This can be liberating but also dogmatic and frightening.”

BORDER

continues from page 1 there is a misconception that America’s Border Patrol agency is militarized.

“In popular culture, [militarization] is used as a liberal critique, as a way to condemn manpower,” Alvarez said. “Yes, there is a critique to be had there, but the border is militarized on Mexico’s side of border, [where they are] not accountable to civilian court and hold machinery illegal in the U.S. The U.S. is not militarized.”

Shapira said the Border Patrol views the Minuteman Project as another burden along the border.

“There was a kind of professional tension [between the Minuteman Project and Border Patrol] where the Border Patrol would say, ‘We get training and do a set of things,’ but in reality it’s not that hard to be a Border Patrol agent — with all due respect.”

Griffin Smith | Daily Texan Staff

Sociology assistant professor Harel Shapira talks Monday afternoon about Minutemen, a volunteer-based organization that aims to protect communities surrounding the border.

Shapira said. “When it came to Border Patrol, the Minutemen were very supportive of Border Patrol.

They saw them as blue collar men, just like them. But Border Patrol felt [Minutemen] got in their way.”

According to Alvarez, the collaborative participation between the U.S. and Mexico to eliminate threats on the border has helped him understand the direction of the border crisis.

“What was most surprising to me was what started to emerge: a bilateral police apparatus,” Alvarez said. “Both countries have worked together to determine what constituted as a threat and how to go about that threat. It would be wrong to say there is not a great deal of pain inflicted to regions most vulnerable. What’s been helpful to me is its full bilateral context.”

SG should approve legislation To counter terrorism, US needs against Secure Communities development, combat tactics The Orwellian-named Secure Communities Program conducted by the Immigrations & Customs Enforcement Department in conjunction with local law enforcement entities, including the Travis County Sheriff ’s Office, provides for anything but. The program allows for these entities to share the names of people accused of crimes and being detained so that, if the defendants are undocumented immigrants, deportation proceedings may begin. Never mind that most of these deportees are not suspected of violent crimes and never mind that we are ostensibly innocent until proven guilty in this country.

This brazen violation of due process has rightly been denounced already by the Austin City Council, unanimously, this past summer. On Tuesday, Student Government will vote on a similar resolution, urging the Travis County Commissioners Court to put an end to this wasteful and hurtful program.

The program, which originated in the Bush administration but was revved up following President Barack Obama’s taking office, is “a simple and common sense way to carry out ICE’s priorities,” according to ICE’s website, which also adds that ICE “[prioritizes] the removal of individuals who present the most significant threats to public safety as determined by the severity of their crime.”

But studies on the program’s effectiveness and implementation suggest it neither fulfills

its titular promise (making the community safe) nor prioritizes the removal of dangerous criminals. Some 82 percent of deportees under the program, by some accounts, are non-criminals, without a conviction in any crime. Pertinent studies have also made a compelling case that it does not deter crime one bit. Rather, all this program does is continue the criminalization of immigrants and allow a president desperate for support to pander to one of the lowest common denominators of the electorate, xenophobes and nativists.

Accordingly, we strongly urge SG to pass the anti-Secure Communities resolution and hope this similarly applies pressure on the commissioners to end this misguided practice in the near future.

Since this program first began in Travis County in 2011, nearly $4 million have been wasted deporting an average of 19 people per week, the vast majority of whom have not been convicted of anything, much less a violent crime of any persuasion. Sheriff Greg Hamilton has insisted time and again that he is compelled to abide by these federal mandates, but ICE’s own website clearly states “Secure Communities imposes no new or additional requirements on state and local law enforcement.”

In any case, we hope unified messages from SG and the commissioners could clear up the ambiguity.

Take cover: Ebola will get you

You’ve heard the news. Ebola is happening, and it’s happening everywhere. It seems that a new case of Ebola pops up every day, and if you are anything like I am, you are wondering why on earth we as a nation can’t seem to get our public health act together. We know where Ebola comes from. We know how you get it and pass it on. We know what it takes to stop infected persons from infecting others, and yet, new cases are coming to light daily.

If you’re reading this, there’s a high probability that you have Ebola. And if you don’t already have it, you’re probably going to get it soon. If history is bound to repeat itself, we are in for a rough couple of months. Until the CDC figures out how to stop Ebola from spreading to every nook and cranny of the United States, here are some tips on how to stay healthy and avoid death in the process: 1. Cease contact with everyone and everything. Sorry friends, family and loved ones, but desperate times call for desperate measures. If you haven’t already started preemptively quarantining yourself, go

ahead and do that now.

2. Cancel your winter break trip to West Africa. I know, it sucks — and that your extended family will most likely groan and gripe about not being able to get refunds on airfare — but an Ebola-free New Year’s will be worth it. Better to welcome in 2015 alive than dead.

3. Don’t go to Dallas. Or New York City.

Or Nebraska (as if you were really chomping at the bit to go there, anyway). Or Maryland. Or anywhere any of the quarantined people are currently being treated.

4. Move to one of the Poles. Cold weather kills the Ebola virus, right?

5. Trust no one. Anyone could be a carrier, even that really cool kid you sit next to in class. Fend for yourself and remain on the lookout for warning signs of infected persons.

6. Don’t be an idiot. If you feel sick, go to the doctor. Don’t release your germs out into the world if you have even the slightest suspicion that you may be infected, especially if you are a doctor working in the medical field. I’m looking at you, Dr. Craig Spencer. C’mon dude, really? What were you thinking?!

If all else fails, call your parents and tell them you love them, delete any embarrassing and/or incriminating Facebook posts, make your amends and prepare for the impending doom that is Ebola.

Fighting terrorists never works out as we hope. The threat of violent extremists is not new to this millennium. Fears of small, organized groups undermining authority at home and abroad go back at least to the 19th century in Europe, North America and other continents. The fears of harm usually exceed the realities of danger, but the dangers are real nonetheless. Although terrorists have never brought down a major power, they have caused major dislocation and suffering in countless societies (including Russia, Germany and China.)

The contemporary Middle East has endured decades of terrorism since at least the early 1970s. The extremism has silenced moderate voices and the violence has splintered governing institutions into tribal tyrannies. The disintegration of Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Yemen and other countries, and the rise of al-Qaeda and ISIS, among others, are recent manifestations of this historical process. The terrorists have hijacked the region’s politics and replaced civil society with gang warfare.

Citizens are defined by the group they belong to; disloyalty is punished with death.

Recognizing that terrorism in the Middle East threatens the broader international community, Americans have spent decades trying to fight it. The nature of American counterterrorism has shifted in regular fashion between two schools of thought.

One school, the “development” approach, has emphasized investments in education, health and economic growth to encourage citizens of terrorized societies to embrace good government. The goal has been to build a grassroots constituency for civil authority and a broad cohort of citizens with the skills to run a prosperous, open society. The Peace Corps, the World Bank, USAID and many other Americansponsored organizations pursue this approach of treating the poor conditions that appear to produce terrorism.

The second school, the “combat” approach, defines terrorists as foreign armies that must be defeated. Proponents of this approach deploy overwhelming force to kill and capture terrorist leaders, destroy their resources and punish their supporters. Through aggressive intelligence work, including the torture of suspected terrorists with valuable information, the combat school aims to grind terrorist organizations to dust, making them more pathetic than threatening. Unmanned aerial vehicles (“drones”), Army and Navy Special Forces and CIA covert operatives are the lead actors for those who seek to go in hard and fast to defeat the extremists.

In our long history with counterterrorism,

The goal [of the ‘development’ approach] has been to build a grassroots constituency for civil authority and a broad cohort of citizens with the skills to run a prosperous, open society. The Peace Corps, the World Bank, USAID and many other American-sponsored organizations pursue this approach...

Following the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, Americans decisively favored force over development. That seemed necessary to stop the groups that had shown a desire... [to kill] thousands of citizens.

Americans have alternated their emphasis between these two schools, experiencing the frustrating limits of each. In the 1990s, after the end of the Cold War, the United States focused on development in the Middle East, encouraging investments in business enterprises, the rule of law and education throughout the region. Each of these areas of development showed some progress, but powerful actors (including the oil-rich leaders of the Gulf states and wealthy individuals like Osama bin Laden) also expanded their support for terrorist groups. While regional development contributed to a new generation of entrepreneurs, it also inspired a new generation of extremists among those who turned to religious fundamentalisms rather than more cosmopolitan ideas.

Following the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, Americans decisively favored force over development. That seemed necessary to stop the groups that had shown a desire and a capability of killing thousands of citizens. Force also appeared to produce results in the overthrow of the Taliban in Afghanistan and the removal of Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq. After 2003, when insurgencies in both countries exposed the limits of this strategy, Americans accepted that they could not totally destroy the terrorists, but they hoped to keep them scattered and under heavy pressure. Even as he withdrew American forces depart from Iraq and as troops withdraw from Afghanistan, President Barack Obama held to this strategy through the use of increased drone attacks on terrorist leaders, and special covert interventions, including the killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in May 2011.

Of course, the use of force against terrorists has not proven more successful than prior development efforts. Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen are more dominated by terrorists today than they were in late 2001. The United States has spent billions of dollars training counterterrorist forces in the region and bombing from the air, but it is not clear if these actions have killed or inspired more terrorists.

There is no proven solution to terrorism in either the development or the combat schools. Ignoring the problem, as many Americans might prefer now, is no solution either, especially when the fate of an economically vital region like the Middle East is at stake. The future of American counterterrorism policy will involve new innovative ways to mix the promise of development with the power of combat. The United States has failed to strike the correct balance in recent decades. Finding the pathways to civil order between corrupting handouts of foreign aid and alienating attacks from the air – that is the supreme challenge for a new generation of policymakers. It is an intellectual opportunity for our best minds to help bring some order to a violent, fragmenting world.

“I love teaching those huge range of students — from freshman all the way up to the master’s- and doctoral-level players,” Hughes said. “Every hour is different, and every day I don’t know what’s going to happen, and I like that.”

In addition to regular lessons, Hughes’ horn class features guest residencies and master classes with visiting artists. The class also performs recitals and plays in chamber ensembles regularly.

Vega believes the Mexican Baroque style represents an exotic and elaborate cuisine that experimented with many ingredients.

teaches his students classical music, he said he enjoys showing them how to play modern pieces as well.

“Primarily, I’m teaching classical French horn — teaching students to play in orchestra and professional chamber groups,” Hughes said. “But we end up playing a lot of other stuff. You’ll see French horns everywhere, so we also play popular music.”

In addition to teaching horn students, Hughes performs frequently in University concerts. The faculty concert Tuesday will be different from others in that Hughes will be the only performer to play in each piece.

“Each piece involves me with a different group of performers,” Hughes said.

Hughes said the concert,

which will focus on chamber music, is a great way to play that style with other professors.

“I love to give recitals, and it’s a joy to play with my colleagues in the school of music,” Hughes said. “It’s fun to all get together and play different music, and chamber music is great.”

“Food is an important cultural aspect for all countries,” Vega said. “In Mexico, we talk about food and dishes all the time — even if we are not cooks.”

Gilland also said food traditions tell a history because they teach people the patterns of everyday life.

“Cookbooks are history books in many ways,” Gilland said.

This year, Foodways of Mexico will include Gilland, Vega and food historian Rachel Laudan. Mexican coffee and sweets will be served after the event.

“Everything about the Foodways series is fun,” Gilland said. “Everyone loves food and it’s fun to hear so many different perspectives. It’s a kind of armchair travel.”

Beckham said it’s hard to gain access to makeup classes and special effects resources on campus. This is why he decided to create Texas Sfx. “I was changing majors and reflecting on what I really liked doing and what I wanted out of college, and I found that there was nothing like this on campus,” Beckham said. “I decided to make a group where artists who are already established or people who just want to learn could have a common space to teach each other and learn from each other.”

A typical meeting starts off with a live makeup tutorial, which members then try to recreate.

“We mainly just use our hands, but we use brushes and makeup sponges and typical cosmetic materials that you would find in your standard beauty aisles,” Beckham said.

“Liquid latex is one of our biggest general, do-all materials, but a lot of our coloring is done through eye shadow and various cream- and waterbased makeup paints.”

Currently, the club is focusing on Halloween makeup looks that involve more

gruesome details, such as fake blood, and learning the basic techniques of face painting.

“Last meeting, we did cuts, scrapes and bruises,” said Karalee Shotola, Texas Sfx financial chair and psychology junior. “We used eye shadow to create bruises. Then, we used liquid latex to create stitches and dug out of it.”

Journalism freshman Julianne Hodges said Texas Sfx has been a way for her to continue cosplaying, the practice of dressing up as a book, movie or video-game character, and has helped improve her makeup skills.

“I joined because it’s between the challenge of making the costumes and just having something fun to do and planning it all out and putting it together and also going to meet-ups in costumes,” Hodges said. “It’s a good way to make friends.”

The club plans to start focusing more on costuming by participating in activities such as cosplay.

“We are trying to move to do a bit of cosplay in this next month,” Beckham said.

“Cosplay is actually a pretty cool thing that incorporates quite a bit of costuming

Beckham believes that one of the biggest misconceptions people have is that special effects makeup and costuming are only done by experts.

“People come up to me and ask me how I did something and, once I take the time to explain it and demonstrate it, see they can do it themselves,” Beckham said.

“It raises their confidence as this seemingly hard task before is now accomplished, and it helps generate more enthusiasm for special effects as it is not all of these complicated techniques only an expert will know.”

FOOTBALL

Texas fails to live up to standards

By Jori Epstein @JoriEpstein

Although head coach Charlie Strong first came to Texas in January, he understands traditions that date back long before his arrival.

Texas historically secures winning records, glides smoothly to bowl eligibility and even spends many weeks in the top-25 rankings. As Texas’ winning percentage continues to plummet following the program’s first shutout in a decade, Strong says he needs to reevaluate.

“We’re sitting there at 3-5, and that’s just not acceptable in this program,” Strong said. “It’s frustrating and disappointing. That will never be the standard of this program.”

The “standard” of this program is a reality that players and coaches alike are trying to reconcile. They know that the inconsistencies plaguing Texas aren’t the standard, but, under a new coaching staff, the Longhorns look to redefine what that standard actually is. Redshirt junior center Taylor Doyle says Joe Wickline, offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, gives the players

one interpretation.

“Go out there and play tough football — you have to be perfect,” Doyle said to summarize Wickline’s advice. “There’s no room for any errors as far as who you have to block.”

If perfection is the standard, the Longhorns know they haven’t reached it. Doyle attributes the struggles to “growing pains,” as new players and coaches adjust to the program. In contrast, senior cornerback Quandre Diggs doesn’t think growing pains sufficiently characterize the shortcomings. Instead, he believes some of his teammates don’t buy into Strong’s program, and, until they do, the team won’t succeed.

“Hopefully, a light clicks for some people, and it all comes together,” Diggs said.

For Diggs, the light never turns off. He says he clings to optimism, hope and faith because he doesn’t see another way. He tries to balance the optimism with realism but doesn’t believe the two mind-sets conflict.

“I don’t ever go into a game and think I’m going to lose,” Diggs said. “Why would I do that? I might as well not practice.”

Texas sweeps Zhejiang despite five suspensions

By Jacob Martella @ViewFromTheBox

The Longhorn team that

came out against the Chinese Club team Zhejiang on Monday night was much different than the team that lost 3-0 to Oklahoma on Saturday.

For one, Texas was without five of its usual starting lineup because of a violation of team rules. But even with key players, such as senior outside hitter Haley Eckerman and senior middle blocker Khat Bell, out, the Longhorns came out with a seemingly strong mentality, winning the first set easily and staying focused in the face of adversity.

In the end, the result was a 3-0 win for a Texas team looking to get back on the winning track.

“I thought we played more relaxed, and we were more steady,” head coach Jerritt Elliott said. “We played as a unit.”

The Longhorns jumped out to a quick 10-4 lead in the first set over the defending champions from China’s National League, thanks in large part to two kills from junior middle blocker Molly McCage and Texas’ blockers. Texas then

hung on with a .407 hitting percentage to win the set 25-15.

The second set, however, would prove to be a much tougher fight for Texas. After the Longhorns jumped out to a 5-2 lead in the set, Zhejiang fought back to tie the match at 14, thanks to a 5-1 run, and then took a 20-17 lead trying to even the match.

But the Longhorns fought back with a 6-3 run to tie and then took the set 26-24. Elliott said the most impressive thing at the end of the set was the team just sticking with it.

“I told them at the break that we were down 20-17, and side out, and get some points, and give ourselves a chance and not to get too anxious,” Elliott said.

In the third set, Texas again jumped out to an early 6-2 lead and, while Zhejiang managed to tie the set twice, closed out the match with relative ease with a 25-20 set win.

The Longhorns played the match without five of their usual starters because of a violation of team rules.

Eckerman, Bell, freshman libero Cat McCoy, sophomore setter Chloe Collins and sophomore middle blocker Chiaka Ogbogu each were held out of the match.

Elliott said the players made a mistake but they are moving forward.

“It’s important for us to set the standard of what it is,” Elliott said. “This program has been built over a period of time, and that was my point — that we have to follow the rules.”

The suspensions proved beneficial for players who have struggled to see the

court since conference play began. Junior middle blocker Sara Hattis scored six kills, while junior outside hitter Tiffany Baker added five kills and two aces, and junior libero Kat Brooks had 14 digs.

“It says a lot about the program that we have to be able to count on these players and the players that came in and got a chance,” Elliott said.

Texas and Zhejiang will

square off again Tuesday at 7 p.m., and, while he said he’s not planning on making many adjustments, Elliott said they will have a better idea of what they did.

“We’ll have a longer look and understand their tendencies,” Elliott said. “We’ll give Mirta [Baselovic] a good shot tomorrow and some different players and take a look at that and go from there.”

Texas welcomes Chinese club team in exhibitions @ViewFromTheBox

At first glance, the members of Zhejiang volleyball team from China look like any other tourists in Austin. They took pictures of the field at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, ate barbecue and left with bags of gifts.

While it might seem like a vacation, it’s a little bit more for Zhejiang.

The defending champion of China’s national volleyball league is in Texas to compete against what it considers to be the best collegiate team in the U.S. “We have been in the States for almost a week and have been playing with a couple of teams already, but we know that this team is the strongest team we’re going to play,” Zhejiang head coach Wu Sheng said through a translator.

VOLLEYBALL AVCA NCAA Coaches Poll

Zhejiang and Texas, perennial contender on the collegiate stage, square off twice this week, with the last match tonight at 7 p.m. Zhejiang has already faced off against Texas Tech, winning the match in Lubbock in five sets and swept TCU on Friday night.

This, however, will be by far its toughest test in the States.

In addition to facing a team ranked in the top five, Zhejiang will have to deal with the Gregory Gym environment. Up until Saturday, the Longhorns had a 34-match win streak at home, and the advantage Texas enjoys has made it tough for it to schedule tough opponents at home, which head coach Jerritt Elliott said is a reason they scheduled a matchup with Zhejiang.

But Zhejiang is no stranger to difficult environments. Sheng said they’ve faced similar tests back in China.

“It really just depends on how our players adjust to the environment,”

Sheng said.

The matches between Zhejiang and Texas go past simple volleyball matches. They play into men’s athletic director Steve Patterson’s goal to grow the Texas brand, especially in China. The Texas men’s basketball team, which had a meet and greet and lunch with the Chinese volleyball team Monday, will open the 2015-2016 season against the Washington Huskies in China.

Although former athletics director DeLoss Dodds scheduled the match against Zhejiang, Patterson said these matches will get the student athletes learning about China and its cultures.

“It’s a great educational opportunity for all of your student athletes, whether you’re entertaining a foreign team here or taking a team to play in China,” Patterson said. “That’s really the key we’re working towards.”

The Longhorns are no strangers to international play.

Texas has travelled twice to Europe to play top club and national teams, and many of the players play professionally overseas after graduation.

“We’re really excited when the opportunity presents itself on our campus to give the international flavor to our fans,” women’s athletic director Chris Plonsky said.

And with sports expanding internationally, Plonsky said she doesn’t think this is the end of it, either.

“You hear about the NFL maybe putting a team in London,” Plonsky said.

“Sports is global, and sports is universal, and I think that applies to college sports as well.”

But aside from the branding and growth of sports on the international level, once they hit the court, Sheng said he has one goal for his players.

“Our goal is to have all of our players fully at their best,” Sheng said.

SPORTS BRIEFLY Volleyball drops in newest coaches poll For the first time in seven weeks, Texas (15-1, 7-1 Big 12) is no longer ranked second in the AVCA Coaches Poll. After suffering their first loss this season, the Longhorns dropped to five in this week’s poll. Undefeated Stanford remained in first place this week and received 59 first-place votes.

Washington, Florida State and Wisconsin rounded out the top five.

Football loses kick returner to ACL injury The Longhorns lost Roderick Bernard, freshman wide receiver/ kick returner, to an ACL injury for the season.

Bernard, a speedy return man from Houston, sustained the injury after being hit on a kick return Saturday against Kansas State. Texas announced Bernard will undergo surgery and no time table has been set for his return.

Special effects club learns how to look gory Christopher Beckham, economics junior and founder of Texas Sfx, retouches his costume makeup for a cosplay event at Dragon’s Lair on Sunday night.

Beckham’s passion for special effects makeup motivated him to form the student organization where several makeup techniques are taught.

Members of Texas Sfx often leave meetings all bloody and bruised up — after applying a bit of makeup and liquid latex.

Economics junior Christopher Beckham is the founder and president of Texas Sfx, an on-campus organization focused on teaching special effects makeup and costuming.

“The goal for Texas Sfx is mainly to spread enthusiasm and knowledge in effects and costuming,” Beckham said.

“We want to create a community on campus of people who enjoy either making effects or just the effects themselves and want an understanding of them.”

During his senior year in high school, Beckham discovered special effects makeup and costuming. He had an assignment to accurately dress up as a book character, and he chose

Tejas Club’s chef finds meaning through parenthood

By Kate Dannenmaier @kdannenmaier

In the kitchen at the Tejas Club house on any given day, Kristen Van Nostrand is cooking dinner for the boys,

but there’s someone else on her mind.

Two years ago, Van Nostrand didn’t have anyone to care for but herself and the people she cooked for at Tejas Club. She would wake up each morning and make her breakfast alone — there wasn’t a sous chef to help her whisk together milk and eggs for French toast.

Two years ago, Van Nostrand would leave the

kitchen without a second thought, leaving knives on countertops and burners left on within reach of any passersby.

Two years ago, Van Nostrand walked the aisles of the grocery store alone to find ingredients for the Tejas Club’s boys’ meals.

Then Van Nostrand had a baby boy, Jackson.

Now, she wakes up to her 2-year-old sous chef ’s voice

Name: 3028/House; Width: 29p6; Depth: 10 in; Color: Process color, 3028/House; Ad Number: 3028

calling for her to help cook breakfast: oatmeal, pancakes, French toast — she’s taught him how to make it all.

Now, she worries about Jackson accidentally hurting himself if she leaves him in the kitchen unattended, so she has to make sure there aren’t any knives within reach and the burners are off.

Today, instead of shopping

for groceries alone, she now shops with Jackson, following patiently as he runs through the aisles, picking out his favorite foods and saying “hi” to each stranger who passes.

Two years ago, Van Nostrand only had herself to worry about. Now, she has Jackson.

“It’s not about me anymore — that’s a thing you don’t realize when you have a kid,”

Van Nostrand said.

Van Nostrand said she was never a “baby person” until she had her own. She never understood what it was like to have helping hands everywhere she goes or the importance of keeping those hands safe.

Two years ago, Van Nostrand’s only job was to be a cook. But she’s found she enjoys her new job more than she was expecting.

Julianne Gilland, curator of the LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections library, tours the exhibition “Inside the Baroque: The Legacy of Mexican Viceregal Arts and Culture.”

Foodways series showcases Mexican Baroque era cuisine

MLK & Brazos look for the daily texan tent 4 hours before kickoff

Chiles rellenos, a traditional Mexican dish with poblano chiles fried in hot oil until golden, is a staple of the Mexican restaurant menu — but the dish has a place in Mexican culture just as important as its place on the table. UT’s Foodways of Mexico event will emphasize the cultural importance of chiles rellenos, along with other dishes from the Mexican Baroque era.

UT’s LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections library sponsors an event on campus called the Foodways of Mexico series. By sponsoring this public event, the LLILAS Benson hopes students and the Austin community will understand Latin American culture from a different perspective.

Julianne Gilland is a curator at the library and panelist

on Foodways of Mexico. She said the library is the largest Latin American library collection besides the Library of Congress.

“Working with these collections is like being a kid in a candy store,” Gilland said.

Gilland and the other curators chose to talk about the Mexican Baroque era because it connects with a current exhibition, “Inside the Baroque: The Legacy of Mexican Viceregal Arts and Culture.” Although the exhibition is more about the art of the Mexican Baroque era, Gilland said she hopes the Foodways panel will help reinforce the importance of the Mexican Baroque era’s cuisine.

“We all have food traditions that we value and can connect to,” Gilland said. “[The Baroque era] is one of those.”

Gilland said the Baroque movement emerged in the

17th century and it features an ornate, intricate, overthe-top style. When Spanish explorers traveled to Latin America, a blend of European and American indigenous traditions formed. In Mexico, people started to mix European and indigenous ingredients into their recipes.

A popular dish was mole, a sauce with several spices.

“The richness of the colonial cuisine of this time also reflects the way Mexico was a nexus of Spanish imperial wealth and global trade of this time,” Gilland said.

Iliana de la Vega, a chef at Austin’s El Naranjo restaurant and panelist on Foodways of Mexico, specializes in traditional Mexican cuisine.

“Through the series of the Foodways of Mexico, we look to approach the com-
