Date: June 18, 2015 To: All Students at The University of Texas at Austin From: Dr. Soncia Reagins-Lilly, Senior Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Subject: Texas Hazing Statute Summary and The University of Texas at Austin’s Hazing Regulations The 70th Texas Legislature enacted a law concerning hazing. Under the law, individuals or organizations engaging in hazing could be subject to fines and charged with a criminal offense.

According to the law, a person can commit a hazing offense not only by engaging in a hazing activity, but also by soliciting, directing, encouraging, aiding or attempting to aid another in hazing; by intentionally, knowingly or recklessly allowing hazing to occur; or by failing to report, in writing to the Dean of Students or another appropriate official of the institution, first-hand knowledge that a hazing incident is planned or has occurred. The fact that a person consented to or acquiesced in a hazing activity is not a defense to prosecution for hazing under this law.

In an effort to encourage reporting of hazing incidents, the law grants immunity from civil or criminal liability to any person who reports a specific hazing event in good faith and without malice to the Dean of Students or other appropriate official of the institution and immunizes that person from participation in any judicial proceeding resulting from liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed as a result of the report. Additionally, a doctor or other medical practitioner who treats a student who may have been subjected to hazing may make a good faith report of the suspected hazing activities to police or other law enforcement officials and is immune from civil or other liability that might otherwise be imposed or incurred as a result of the report. The penalty for failure to report is a fine of up to $1,000, up to 180 days in jail, or both. Penalties for other hazing offenses vary according to the severity of the injury which results and include fines from $500 to $10,000 and/or confinement for up to two years.

Regent Hall takes his information pursuit to extremes

By Davis Clark @DavisClarkDT

Yearslong hostility between Texas legislators, the University of Texas System Board of Regents and top UT administrators intensified June 15. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asserted in an opinion that Regent Wallace Hall is able to hire outside legal counsel to represent him in a suit against UT, should he choose to file one, at the expense of the UT System.

Hall could make the bizarre decision to file suit against the University system he works for in order to obtain protected student information long denied him by the University.

Hall could make the bizarre decision to file suit against the University system he works for in order to obtain protected student information long denied him by the University. The information will further illuminate a Kroll Investigation report that found top administrators, former UT President William Powers Jr. among them, guilty of admitting underqualified students into UT because of political or familial connections.

In response to these wrongs, former UT System Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa launched a preliminary investigation into UT’s admissions proceedings. The findings were conclusive enough to legitimize a full external investigation.

Despite both the Kroll report and the need for an external investigation, the University denied Hall complete access to the files, arguing that they would not

be used for educational reasons and privacy laws protect certain student records.

And now Hall’s ability to get outside counsel has poised the issue to reach new levels of tension.

At the heart of this tension is a debate over the scope of the powers of the regents and Hall’s intentions for the information.

Hall claims that he is acting within the legitimate scope of his obligations as a regent to oversee the interests of the UT system and protect it against wrongdoing by wayward faculty. Many within the Legislature, however, claim that his actions go far beyond that scope in order to conduct a “character assassination” of top administrators. These tensions culminated in the House Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations filing ultimately unsuccessful impeachment proceedings against Hall.

The UT administration has been in the precarious position of balancing Hall and the Legislature because of the important relationships it maintains with both. The University granted Hall the documents that privacy laws do not protect and have some educational benefit, but UT system Chancellor William McRaven maintains that Hall’s request goes “well beyond any reasonable desire to be better informed as a regent.” But, Hall has not backed down and now has the ability to take this issue to court.

The question remains whether Hall is acting, as former Gov. Rick Perry suggested, in a stalwart manner by seeking to illuminate past ethical violations and institutional inefficiencies, or if he is acting destructively by carrying an overzealous witch hunt beyond the legitimate bounds of a Regent’s role.

Early in Hall’s quest, the former seemed most likely. The investigation had the ambitious and necessary intent of calling out the unethical admissions practices carried out by very powerful people. But, his divisive

Hall’s investigation has inhibited working conditions among the Board of Regents, the UT administration, the UT Chancellor, the UT General Council, the Attorney General of Texas and the Texas Legislature. In so doing, he has shown he is incapable of sacrificing his own concerns, justified though they may be,

for the wellbeing of the University as a whole.

Even if Hall is given the benefit of the doubt by assuming that he does act with the best intention for the University, he must submit his will to the consideration of others working within the system he is entrusted with defending: the other regents that vetoed his requests, McRaven and numerous legislators. Not doing so precludes him from conducting his job professionally in the future. He perpetuates a hostile environment with each further action to get this information against the will of these other parties.

For these reasons, I believe Hall has damaged too many professional relationships to continue his hunt. Now, a siege mentality hinders all involved, which will inhibit the University’s progress for years to come.

Hall’s request for lawyer approved Attorney general approves Hall’s request for right to hire lawyer

Ransom Center gains archives of Ben Bradlee

By Selah Maya Zighelboim @thedailytexan

By Jackie Wang @jcqlnwng

Attorney General Ken Paxton approved Regent Wallace Hall’s request June 15 to hire a lawyer to sue the UT System.

Hall, a member of the UT System Board of Regents, threatened to sue the System for access to admissions documents.

Hall first asked to see documents Kroll Associates, Inc. used for the admissions process March 6 after an investigation showed former UT President William Powers Jr. had a hand in the admissions process, but he did not break any formal rules.

Hall requested the documents to pursue his own independent investigation.

Only two votes of approval were needed from the Board, and three members voted to approve Hall’s request April 8. But Chancellor William McRaven refused to give Hall access to the Kroll documents, citing confidentiality rules. The Board then changed rules to require a majority vote to approve information requests from regents.

Paxton advised the UT System Board of Regents in a letter June 15 to comply with Hall’s request and said the new rule was against state law. He also

Attorney General Ken Paxton recently approved UT System Regent Wallace Hall’s request to hire a lawyer to sue the UT System. Hall previously threatened to sue the system for access to admission documents.

said because the Board was “obstructing [Hall’s] right under state law to access System records,” the UT System should pay for his lawyer.

Since Hall is a member of the UT System, he would be suing the institution that employs him as well as using UT System funds to sue.

Dan Sharphorn and Francie Frederick, general counsels to the Board of Regents, said in a letter to Paxton on Wednesday that Hall was not being denied any documents he had requested, except in the case of information the Family Educational Rights and

Privacy Act protects. They also said paying for a lawyer was out of the question.

“Although your letter indicates that Regent Hall’s request for outside counsel has already been approved, please understand that we do not have authority to pay for outside counsel under these circumstances,” they wrote in a letter to Paxton on June 16. “For that reason, UT System cannot approve any vouchers submitted for that purpose.”

Hall asked McRaven to consult the Board of Regents before destroying or deleting any Kroll

documents. McRaven told Hall he would stay committed to providing all the information he legally was able to but would adhere with FERPA guidelines and protect student and family privacy.

McRaven also said Hall had not looked at the available information and could not base an argument for needing more information to perform his responsibilities as a trustee.

“I am at a loss to understand how you can imply that we are impeding your fiduciary responsibilities — when you haven’t even

reviewed the information I have offered,” McRaven wrote in an email to Hall on May 27. “Must you have student names in order to perform those duties?

How do you know that until you look at everything we have to show you?”

Hall could not be reached for comment.

The UT System declined to comment.

Bradlee was a former Washington Post editor who died in October and who famously oversaw the investigative reporting on Richard Nixon’s cover-up of his administration’s involvement in the break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters, also known as the Watergate scandal.

On June 3, the Ransom Center announced that the estate of Bradlee had donated his archive to the Ransom Center. These documents reveal correspondence with some of the most important American figures of the 20th century — a note from former First Lady Jackie Kennedy regarding the assassination of her husband, a critical letter from former Cuban President Fidel Castro, a desk calendar that notes the date of a “Watergate meeting.”

According to Stephen Mielke, the associate director for cataloguing services, the Ransom Center is currently in the process of hiring archivists to catalog the documents. When the archivists are done — a process that Mielke believes will take approximately 18 months — the papers will become available in the Ransom Center’s Reading and Viewing

Several Longhorn baseball players have chosen to leave Texas for the major leagues

exas head coach Augie Garrido, the NCAA’s winningest baseball coach, saw five of his players go in the 2015 MLB draft this year.

In his 19-year run with Texas, Garrido has had more than 100 players go on to play professional baseball and even more players who have been drafted yet did not join the MLB. Garrido was unavailable for comment.

In the last five years, Garrido has

had 36 of his players drafted. This year, five players were drafted, including seniors Parker French, Kirby Mellow and Brooks Marlow, who were drafted to the Colorado Rockies, Arizona Diamondbacks and the Houston Astros, respectively. Mellow and Marlow were unavailable for comment.

Deciding to forgo their senior seasons at Texas, juniors C.J Hinojosa and Ben Johnson were drafted in the 11th round — just three picks apart — to play for the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals, respectively.

Although French, Hinojosa and Johnson said they are excited to start their professional careers, their times at Texas have proved invaluable in shaping their futures.

Junior shortstop C.J Hinojosa, who was drafted in the 11th round as the 336th overall pick, was the second player to bid farewell to Texas as he now makes his way to the San Francisco Giants.

Hinojosa decided to forgo his senior year at Texas to pursue his professional baseball career. In his last season at Texas, Hinojosa recorded the second most home runs for the team with 7 and tied for third in doubles with 9.

In Arizona, Hinojosa, a 5-foot9-inch shortstop, said he accomplished one of his dreams June 16

when he signed his contract with the Giants.

Hinojosa said leaving Austin is bittersweet and the accomplishments he and his team made while playing together have everything to do with his success.

“Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am. The past three years playing there was an awesome experience,” Hinojosa said. “From being the worst team in the Big 12 to finishing third in the nation my second year, to my third year and winning the Big 12 tournament — it was a blast.”

Ben Johnson Position: Outfield Draft pick: 339 Team: Kansas City Royals

French, who was the 137th overall pick, was the first Longhorn to be drafted.

While partaking in Texas barbecue with his family, French received a phone call that would indelibly advance his baseball career. The Rockies had their mind set on drafting him; all he had to do was agree.

“That’s where I wanted to go, I really felt like I fit in with the organization and gelled with them well,” French said.

“They valued me as a player — not just a senior sign — and that they saw my leadership and my commitment to the team, which was important as well.”

Over the past four years, French

has started 54 games — the fifth most in school history. Bill Schmidt, vice president of scouting for the Rockies, said he thinks Texas did a good job developing French and he liked French’s character what he saw on and off the field.

“For me, it was his body of work there at Texas and what he accomplished over the four years,” Schmidt said. “And he competed at different roles, I know at times he pitched out of a bullpen and then this year being the starter. Not only his ability but what he stood for as a person and a competitor, his presence was somebody that we wanted to add to our organization.”

Johnson was taken three picks after Hinojosa and will be joining the Kansas City Royals. He was the 339th overall pick, and, although he said he could have been drafted sooner, he said wanted to play for the Royals.

“In the end, I wanted to be a Kansas City Royal the entire time, and, however I could get there, I wanted to make that happen,” Johnson said.

“I feel like my strengths and my game really fit their system well, and, in the end, that’s the team that I wanted to go to, and it worked out.”

Johnson started 56 games for Texas this past season. He led the team in stolen bases with 16 — a number that would rank him fifth in the Big 12.

Johnson said he thinks his transition from the Longhorns to the Royals will

go smoothly because of the similarities in their playing style.

“They love to run and love to steal bases,” Johnson said. “In the outfield, they said they’re going to play me [at] centerfield, and they kind of like me as a lead-off two guy, and that’s what I hit here. My game here could translate nicely over to them.”

Aside from bettering his baseball skills, Johnson said being under the pressure of playing for Texas has helped prepare him to join the MLB. “Every single game feels like Game 7 of the World Series playing here with Coach Garrido, and you just know that every game is a do-or-die situation, and I think that’ll help me going into my professional career,” Johnson said.

CITY

Despite rainfall, Austin waterslide is unlikely

By Matthew Adams @MatthewAdams60

Even with all the rain Austin received over Memorial Day weekend and since, water restrictions are still in place — preventing a 1,000-foot waterslide from stopping in the city.

Slide the City, a national traveling waterslide company from Utah, started working with city officials to come to Austin this summer. Water Conservation Division Manager Drema Crist Gross, said she is only aware of the company working with her and special events manager Frances Hargrove with Austin Center for Events.

Despite the recent rain, Gross said drought restrictions are still in place and will prevent the slide from coming.

“Austin remains in Stage 2 drought restrictions,” Gross said. “While the decision to lift restrictions rests with the city manager, we do not anticipate any change this summer.”

Emerson Hamilton, event director for Slide the City, said the group considered trucking in water from out of state and donating it to the water aquifer after a dechlorination process took place. Under the drought restrictions, Hamilton said the slide fell under the fountain category, which is prohibited.

According to the City of Austin’s water restriction page, fountains with spray of four inches or more are prohibited.

Hamilton said the company is waiting for the City’s decision.

“We’re definitely wanting to play by the rules in Austin

and we will wait it out,” Hamilton said. “We hope Austin gets enough water to remove those restrictions, but we’ll sit tight until things change.”

Marian Ebhamen, communication studies and corporate communications junior, said it is unfortunate not to have the slide as an Austin attraction.

“It’s unfortunate because Austin is known for cool things like that,” Ebhamen said. “Some of the other things Austin is known for, like Hamilton Pool and Barton Springs, have been off limits because of the flooding. [The slide] is just adding to the trend of Austin attractions being taken off the list.”

Roy Waley, vice chair of the Austin Sierra Club, said hosting the slide, regardless of water conditions, would send the

wrong message in a drought.

“I think [the slide] sounds like it would be a lot of fun,” Waley said. “But I think it sends the wrong message to people when we are asking them to conserve water [and then] we have a wasteful water use.”

Waley said the Sierra Club would consider it if more focus was placed on reusing water for landscaping and teaching about water conservation.

Business sophomore Parker Sewell said his sister went to the slide but did not ride it in Fort Worth because of technical problems. Sewell said the City should consider its options.

“I think it would be a really cool thing for our city to have,” Sewell said. “However if it does not work, then no, we shouldn’t bother with it.”

“We are delighted that the Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin has acquired Ben Bradlee's extensive archive," Woodward and Bernstein said in a joint statement. "He was the most significant newspaper editor of his time — a golden journalistic era spanning the second half of the 20th century, during which he set the highest standard of fearless and aggressive but fair inquiry; and re-invented the modern newspaper through the news and feature coverage of The Washington Post.”

Bradlee served as the executive editor of The Washington Post from 1969 to 1991. During those years, he oversaw the publishing of the Pentagon Papers, which is the name given to a secret government study chronicling its own involvement in Vietnam leading up to the Vietnam War. “Ben often quoted Philip Graham, husband of Katharine Graham and a former publisher of the Post, saying

I am thrilled that they are now residing in the perfect place for that to happen."

REC SPORTS

Students provide their take on Gregory Gym, Rec Center A student practices at Gregory Gym before more students show up for a pick-up basketball game.

Daulton Venglar Daily Texan Staff

By Reanna Zuniga @reannasioux

Taking a game of hoops seriously isn’t just for the professionals, and Gregory Gymnasium and the Rec Center offer competitive pick-up games (and maybe the occasional trash talk) and also a wide range of people practicing their basketball skills.

Although not being able to watch the effortless-looking alley-oops or the last five ticking, pressure-filled seconds left on the shot clock is sad for basketball lovers everywhere, UT students can still feel the “Game 7 of the Finals” level of intensity in the Gregory gym.

Both of the gyms offer different environments to the UT student body, but Gregory is by far the most popular of all the RecSports facilities, according to their website, and it seems to be for good reason.

Gregory offers itself as a piece of history on campus, spacious courts for numerous pick-up games and the social aspect of playing with a newly

formed or established group, while the Rec is smaller, a little off the beaten path and less crowded gym.

Jason Ikpatt, cell and molecular biology graduate student, recently moved to Austin for school and said he has gone to Gregory every single time he’s wanted to play basketball.

“I actually got lost the first time I went in there to play because the layout was strange,” Ikpatt said. “But, once I found the courts, the games that were going on looked pretty intense.

It was great competitive basketball, and I felt like I got a good workout.”

Ikpatt said one downside he’s seen is extreme crowds during events such as high school tournaments.

Political communications junior John Stickler said he plays at both facilities but favors Gregory more because he likes to have people to play with.

“Greg is nice because there are always pick-up games from about 2 p.m. until close,” Stickler said. “Moreover, most people would probably say that

the courts at Greg are marginally nicer.”

Despite playing in Gregory more often, Stickler said he sees advantages to both.

“The Rec on the other hand is hardly ever crowded, and there is generally an open hoop if you just want to avoid the crowd and shoot around,” he said.

Gregory is more centrally located to campus and offers seven basketball courts, which is four more than the Rec Center has. For 46 years, the gym served as the home for the Texas basketball teams until the Frank Erwin Center opened up in 1977.

Incoming freshman Savannah Smith first got to explore campus during her orientation this past week. Smith, who said she lives and breathes basketball, checked out both facilities to scope out the courts and said Gregory had that “wow” factor.

“There are just so many courts,” Smith said. “While I was there, I found a stray ball and shot a few, but I can’t wait to actually play there.”

MOVIE REVIEW | INSIDE OUT

‘Inside Out’ shines with moving story, lively visuals

By Charles Liu

“Inside Out” is a charming exploration of the main character Riley’s (Kaitlyn Dias) emotions on change and growing up.

@CharlieInDaHaus

After a series of mediocre to decent films, Pixar makes a comeback with “Inside Out,” the studio’s most ambitious exploration of the human experience yet.

The movie is a nuanced visual allegory for how people’s emotions affect them, serving up clever representations for the mind’s inner workings.

“Inside Out” delivers a moving story and wonderful visuals that make it one of Pixar’s best films to date.

The film’s main characters are five personifications of the emotions of a young girl, Riley (Kaitlyn Dias). They are Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black) and Disgust (Mindy Kaling). The emotions control Riley from Headquarters, a command center in her brain. Since Riley’s birth, Joy has been her main emotion, often casting Sadness aside because she fears seeing Riley miserable.

So far, Riley’s life has been pretty good until her family moves from Minnesota to San Francisco. Riley and her emotions have to face new challenges: living in a crummy old house, going to a new school and making new friends.

As the emotions try to work out their roles in this new environment, Joy and Sadness are accidentally ejected out of Headquarters, leaving the remaining emotions in control. Fear, Anger and Disgust decide Riley’s best course of action is to run away from home and return to Minnesota. Joy and

Sadness must get back to Headquarters and stop her before it’s too late.

Poehler and Smith anchor most of the film with their dueling performances.

Poehler imbues Joy with her trademark peppiness, and Smith molds Sadness into a somber and reserved outsider. Black stands out as Anger, portraying the character’s explosive outbursts in a sweet and adorable manner.

Kaling’s bratty Disgust and Hader’s anxiety-ridden Fear play smaller, less-memorable roles, but they play a necessary part in rounding out the cast.

“Inside Out” features an imaginative art style. Riley’s mind, which consists of candycolored settings, contrasts with the muted, sometimes gloomy, world around her. The different parts of Riley’s mind are designed to reflect their purposes — the dream-making center is a bustling film studio, Headquarters looks like an air traffic control tower and the train of thought is, of course, a train.

Pixar communicates the importance of emotional well-being. As Riley falls into a depression, she no longer finds satisfaction in her hobbies, such as hockey and in spending time with

her family and friends.

This causes the parts of her brain devoted to her love for them to crumble. The more parts of her mind she loses, the less engaged she becomes.

Joy believes suppressing Sadness must be the solution to Riley’s problems. But director Pete Docter and screenwriters Meg LeFauve and Josh Cooley impart that Riley should accept that she is sad.

She spends much of the movie pretending to be happy and leads her parents to believe she has accepted the move, preventing her from getting the emotional support she

INSIDE OUT Running Time: 94 minutes MPAA Rating: PG Score: 9/10

really needs.

If there is one thing audiences should remember about “Inside Out,” it’s the lesson that all emotions play a part in keeping a person healthy.

It shouldn’t be a surprise

If there is one thing audiences should remember about “Inside Out,” it’s the lesson that all emotions play a part in keeping a person healthy. that a movie about emotions is emotional. “Inside Out” boasts a stellar cast, impressive animation and a thoughtful meditation on love, loss and growing up.
