Regents support McRaven’s actions in Hall case @thedailytexan

Following the lawsuit Regent Wallace Hall filed against System Chancellor William McRaven, the UT System Board of Regents met July 8 to discuss legal issues regarding access to documents. The regents met in a closed-door executive session for nearly two hours. Hall was not allowed in the private session and was not permitted to vote because he is the plaintiff and has informed knowledge regarding the case against McRa-

ven. Hall filed a lawsuit against McRaven on June 28, claiming McRaven withheld information regarding admissions into the University by denying him access to documents because, McRaven said, it would violate Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and put students’ privacy at risk. Vice Chairman Steven Hicks wrote a motion supporting McRaven’s actions, stating the Board supports McRaven’s stance on why they do not want to grant the records to Hall. Five regents voted in

favor of the motion, Regent Alex Cranberg voted against the motion and Regent Brenda Pejovich abstained from the vote. “There are two concerns we have about providing the records,” Hicks said. “We are concerned about protecting confidential information and wanting to follow the federal law. It is our duty to protect the students records here at the University.” In the open discussion, Hick’s motion states that Hall would have access to confidential and nonpublic documents with the exception to those

FERPA protects, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or other privacy laws determined by Vice Chancellor and General Counsel Daniel Sharphorn. Cranberg said if the Board of Regents starts broadening restrictions then they are on a “different playing field,” both legally and ethically. Cranberg said including common law would make the situation more difficult and would hinder McRaven. “I am concerned [including common law] creates an

A writer’s request: Visit the Nazi Olympics exhibit By Jori Epstein @JoriEpstein

Imagine Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. At capacity, it can hold roughly 100,000 people — a greater number of people than many students can imagine ever being in the same place with at once. Multiply those 100,000 fans by 60, and you have the Jewish death toll in the Holocaust. You would have to fill 110 stadiums to total the 11 million total Holocaust victims. But this season, the stadium serves as more than just a means to visualize the number of victims in the Holocaust atrocities. Until January 29, the North End Zone will also feature “The Nazi Olympics: Berlin 1936.” I urge you to take the opportunity to visit. To usher in the 2016 Olympics, this university has the privilege and responsibility of hosting this exhibit from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Free and open to the public, it details Adolf Hitler’s rise to prominence in Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the Olympic Games hosted by the Nazis in Berlin in August 1936 and the political and moral issues that followed. When considering the history of the 1936 Olympic Games, it may seem strange that the International Olympic Committee would allow a totalitarian, genocidal regime to host these global games. But Germany had not yet adopted such extremism when the committee selected Germany to host in 1931. Even so, controversy plagued the venue selection. The United States and other countries voiced their opposition at the time, and a boycott nearly succeeded in forcing a venue change. In the end, the games went on, despite Nazis excluding Jewish athletes and belittling African-American participants, such as track and field gold medalist Jesse Owens. Not long after the games ended, the Holocaust unfolded. Less than

The stadium exhibit will not teach us all we need to know about the issue. But as Holocaust survivors continue to pass — historians consider millennials the last generation to have the privilege of meeting Holocaust survivors and receiving their firsthand accounts — Holocaust educators must find new, creative ways to teach its lessons. This exhibit is one of those ways. Times have changed, but in many ways they have not changed much. Examining

Public forum majority supports removing Jefferson Davis statue

Name: PPD; Width: 29p6; Depth: 10 in; Color: Black, PPD; Ad Number: -

By Jack Mitts @JackMitts

At a public forum July 7, students, alumni, staff and Austinites weighed in on a discussion surrounding the statues on the Main Mall, particularly the statue of Jefferson Davis, and most speakers said the statue must be removed. “The entire Six Pack is overflowing with artistic, social and political intent that cannot at any moment pass itself off,” said Angelica Allen, African and African diaspora studies graduate student. “They symbolize the history of Confederate history and intent of centuries of racial injustice.” The statue has been the target of controversy since it was erected in the 1930s. A previous task force in 2003 recommended the removal of the statue, but no action followed. Student Government President Xavier Rotnofsky and Vice President Rohit Mandalapu made the removal of the statue a part of their platform in their campaign for office. Following three incidents of vandalism to statues on the Main Mall, President Gregory Fenves appointed Gregory Vincent, vice president for the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement, to chair a 12-person committee to evaluate the statues. The forum is one of two where Vincent and committee members will seek comments

Gregory Vincent, vice president for the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement and chair of a 12-person committee evaluating the presence of Confederate statues on campus, speaks at the public forum held July 7.

and suggestions from the University and Austin community. While most speakers advocated removing the statue, a handful of speakers disagreed. Terry Ayers, public relations officer for the Descendents of Confederate Veterans, said confederate leaders should be honored for their service and discouraged equating Confederates and racists. “I’m here to tell you my great grandfather … did not own slaves,” Ayers said. “He was just a poor dirt farmer that was called to defend his country by his government just as I was during the Vietnam War.” Public affairs professor Edwin Dorn said a society, when memorializing an individual in a statue, must believe that the individual’s virtues outweigh his or her

faults, and that is not the case with Davis. “He was a slaveowner, a traitor, a failure at the very thing for which he is best known — president of the Confederate state,” Dorn said. “There is nothing honorable in any of this. He should have been hanged for treason. … Jefferson Davis deserves a place in history but not a place of honor.” There will be another public forum July 15, and the committee is accepting online comments and phone calls until then. The committee will make its recommendations to Fenves by August 1. “We’ve had committees in the past, and there are generations of students that speak up [about the statue],” Rotnofsky said. “I’m hoping that this is the last one.”

redacted that it is difficult to make any sense of it. I appreciate the chancellor’s effort to move forward with information exchange. I don’t see why we should obstruct [his] efforts.” Pejovich said she wanted

to modify the language of the motion regarding who can delegate access to information because it limited members of the Board of Regents say over a decision. Pejovich said this issue should be voted on separately.

It was at the Driskill Hotel in 1931 that Texans first heard the musical stylings of jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong. With admission priced at 75 cents, attendees unknowingly witnessed history.

Behind Hole in the Wall’s unassuming door and graffiti covered walls lies a treasure trove of music history. Founded in 1974, the dive bar has played host to bands such as Spoon and REM and musicians such as St. Vincent and Sterling Morrison. From The Eagles’ Don Henley dropping by to sing “Don Henley Must Die,” to Stevie Ray Vaughan playing a spontaneous set until 3 a.m, Hole in the Wall has allowed locals to rub elbows with famous acts, making the place a breeding ground for unbelievable stories.

Before Threadgill’s became a restaurant in 1981, it was a gas station. Founder Kenneth Threadgill converted the station into a beer joint in 1933 and it became a popular stop for travelling musicians. In the ’60s, rocker Janis Joplin, a UT student at the time, developed her trademark vocals at the bar, packed regularly each Wednesday night with her fans. Threadgill became a father figure to Joplin, nurturing her career’s beginnings. Before her death in 1970, Joplin canceled a $15,000 show to perform in Austin for Threadgill’s birthday. “Threadgill’s was part of the reason I started Armadillo,” said Threadgill’s owner and the founder of Armadillo, Eddie Wilson. “I fell in love with the joyfulness of people gathered around listening to music. I would go there as a teenager, before I even had a car, and I’d hear [Joplin] sing. It was a bone rattling experience. They would pass the microphone to her and you knew you’d never hear a voice equal to hers.”

In 1970, the closing of Vulcan Gas Company left a void in the Austin music scene — that same year, Armadillo World Headquarters filled it. Housed in an abandoned National Guard armory, the ‘Dillo typically booked country and rock acts. Rolling Stone and Time magazine featured the venue as the epicenter of hippies’ life in Austin. Before closing in 1980, club attendees saw the Talking Heads, Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen and AC/DC’s first American performance. “Not until [co-founder] Eddie Wilson stumbled upon the old National Guard armory, sitting empty but screaming with potential, did Austin have a home base for the cultural explosion that was to come,” the Skunk’s bassist Jesse Sublett said. “Eddie and a handful of visionary friends imagineered Austin’s future in August 1970, where they could stage all kinds of music, a place for art shows, benefits, recording studio and other aspects of a genuine community.”

The Continental Club — a supper club, a burlesque club, and then a music venue — has made several transitions in its time as an Austin institution. Since opening in 1957, the club’s performers have varied widely throughout its changes over the years. In its near 60 years, the club has hosted musicians such as Glenn Miller, Sonic Youth and Charlie Sexton. Steeped in tradition, but forever adapting to new music scenes and crowds, the Continental Club is one of Austin’s longest-lasting music venues. “I think what makes it so unique are the different types of people that come here,” general manager Celeste Martin said. “The people that come here range from age 21 to 91. You walk in and you see a punk rocker sitting next to a cowboy sitting next to a hippie. It’s just a very welcoming place with great music.”

ROAD MAP

The Daily Texan made a map of some of the city’s most historic music venues. From Stevie Ray Vaughan’s spontaneous 3 a.m. performances to Hank William’s last song, Austin’s music scene has heard it all. Although a few venues have closed down, Austinites can still experience music history at several sites throughout the city.

The heart of Austin’s psychedelic music scene, Vulcan Gas Company opened in 1967. The venue became a place where bands such as 13th Floor Elevators, Muddy Waters, Shiva’s Headband and the Velvet Underground could experiment with music others viewed as unconventional. These acts, coupled with light shows and special effects, helped the Vulcan make a name for itself as a counterculture hub in Austin before closing in 1970. Today, a Patagonia clothing store occupies the club’s former building. “It was a lot bigger than anything anyone had ever done, and it was also more controversial,” founder Don Hyde said. “The Statesman wouldn’t even run ads for it. It was the first rock and roll place. There were little halls to go to here and there, but there wasn’t a club like the Vulcan within a thousand miles of Austin. You can trace the origins of the Austin music scene back to that club.”

One of downtown’s first music venues, Antone’s helped Austin gain its title as the “Live Music Capital of the World.” Founded by blues fan Clifford Antone in 1975, the club launched the career of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Gary Clark Jr. and also welcomed B.B. King and Fats Domino. After changing venues multiple times, the club ultimately closed in January 2014 but continued to have a loyal following. With the partnership of Clark Jr., the club is set to re-open in Austin this summer blocks away from its original location. “The passion that [Clifford Antone] had is not something that people could forget,” Antone’s Records owner Eve Monsees said. “Back in 1975, there was no downtown music scene. Antone loved the blues and he wanted to bring it to the city. His club was never about making money, it was all about the music. He created this tradition that other people admired and stepped up to continue.”

Austin City Limits, the longest running music show in TV history, got its start in 1974 with its first performer Willie Nelson. In 41 years of taping, the weekly shows have had an immeasurable impact on Austin and the music industry. While the show originally intended to feature Texas musicians, it quickly expanded, featuring guests such as the Foo Fighters, Coldplay and Wilco. The show has remained one of Austin’s constants and been recognized the world over, receiving a Presidential National Medal of the Arts and designated a “Rock and Roll Landmark.” “Austin City Limits wouldn’t be the same in any other city,” ACL executive producer Terry Lickona said. “There’s an obsession here with live music and the performers can feel that. Unlike all the other music venues, Austin City Limits is also a TV show. It’s a window on Austin for the rest of the world to see, and the city of Austin has been a pipeline for some of the amazing talent that has appeared on the show for several years.”

Students prefer weight training on campus By Shay Hoffman @thedailytexan

When it comes to weight training, student weight lifters definitely know what they like. In spite of ample availability of fitness centers, such as Gold’s Gym and Anytime Fitness, located near campus, often within a just a two-mile radius, UT students and alumni seem to largely agree: They prefer the convenience and superior quality of on-campus gyms, such as Gregory Gym and the Rec Center, over other options. “I work out at 24 Hour Fitness in the Hancock Center just north of campus,” said Sam Antonio, a UT alumnus who graduated in 2014. “I actually bought an alumni pass at Gregory last fall semester. It was actually cheaper than a 24 Hour Fitness membership, but parking on campus became an issue sometimes.” As a recent graduate of the

University, Antonio is also quick to sum up the quality disparity between the two gyms, and notes the difference in age of the demographic at 24 Hour Fitness as opposed to on campus. “24 Hour has older equipment, is less spacious in general, and the crowd there is definitely a little older,” Antonio said. Antonio, who used Gregory Gym almost exclusively throughout his undergraduate and graduate years cites convenience as the main reason for the switch, but laments the necessity. English senior Adalyn Burke said, “When I lived in the Hyde Park area, sometimes I’d go to Anytime Fitness on 34th and Guadalupe, but only when I hadn’t gotten a chance to work out before or after class. It’s a nice gym, with a solid variety of free weights, but it’s hard to beat the convenience of Greg when you’re already on campus anyway.”

Burke said she appreciates Gregory Gym’s complimentary service to enrolled students and considers that a major incentive to make the most of it. “There’s more variety, and it is more convenient

than off-campus gyms, with more machines to better accommodate a really large student body, and it’s free. I always feel safe here. I’m just not really willing to let that resource go to waste,” Burke said.

English junior Hannah Blaisdell said that, while she generally frequents the Rec Center over Gregory, her experiences at other gyms have convinced her

Golf caddies create team dynamic on and off the green @ReannaSioux

Many don’t think of golf as a team sport. The golfer stands alone on the green, putter in hand, focused on the path to drop the ball into the hole — it all seems very solitary. But just a few yards away, another set of eyes are also glued to the ball, waiting in anticipation for the strike

that could determine over or under par. That shot means just as much to the golfer as it does to the other part of the team: the caddie. Caddies not only carry the clubs but take on different roles to create the best dynamic they can with a golfer. For Carl Jackson, who has caddied for Ben Crenshaw, UT alumnus and two-time Masters champion, for the last 39 years at Augusta, his

role on the course is to be the bottomless suggestion box and mental stabilizer for Crenshaw. “You know, he has to execute. And I have to be a professional and let my experiences come out of me,” Jackson said. “I could not be afraid. I could not show any doubt in what I was suggesting because that would cause him to show doubt.” Jackson said his goal as

a caddie is to make sure his golfer is comfortable with his next shot. “It begins with mutual respect for one another. The caddie feels the pressure too,” he said. “We look out for each other out there. Even on a rainy day, he’ll look back, and I’m walking gingerly trying not to fall down, and I tell him, ‘Watch that area there,’ or ‘Be careful over there.’ I have

to stay focused on what my duties are and not make a mental mistake.” Barbara Puett, six-time Austin City Golf champion and UT golf instructor, said the golfer and caddie relationship works a lot like a coach’s and a player’s relationship would; It’s all about teamwork. “It’s a relationship that

Four current Longhorn swimmers and UT Assistant Coach Kris Kubik represented the United States team at the World University Games in Gwangju, South Korea, last week. Kubik said having this coaching opportunity was something he never thought he’d have the chance to do. “I don’t take the coaching responsibility lightly. It’s more than the responsibility to instill in the entire team that we are not just there to race,” Kubik said. “We are standing there to show the world what people from the U.S. are like and to represent our country and our families as great citizens … and to savor every moment we have to meet other people from around the world.” While traveling internationally and representing the United States, rising seniors Matt Ellis, Sam Lewis, John Murray and rising junior Jack Conger completed several individual events and helped their teams to medal-winning finishes. Conger, a Big 12 recordholder, closed out his second World University Games with one bronze medal in the 100-meter backstroke, two silver medals in the 400-meter medley relay and 100-meter freestyle and one gold medal alongside teammate Ellis in the 400-meter freestyle relay. —Reanna Zuniga

continues from page 8 works off of support,” Puett said. “Anytime you have support in any endeavor you do, you’ll do better because you have support backing you up. It’s an important relationship for the success of the player.” Much like Crenshaw found his support in Jackson, another famous Austin golfer, Tom Kite, found what he was looking for in his long-time caddie, Sandy Jones. Kite has won multiple major championships since turning pro in 1972 after being in the Texas golf program under legend

Harvey Penick. Jones is unique. She is in the minority as a woman caddie but said it’s helped her have an edge. Jones has been with Kite for the past 14 years but said she’s changed her approach over the years. “When he got out on the champions tour, he was down low, and he needed somebody to bring him up. He wanted his new caddie to be able to pep him up so that’s kinda how we started,” Jones said. “Over the years, of course, it’s changed, and I’m not so much a cheerleader anymore. I watch his swing and tell him what I think

he did wrong.” Both caddies, Jackson and Jones, have grown to be a part of the golfer’s families. “Our friendship has led to something more than a friendship. [Ben and his wife] have treated me beautifully,” Jackson said. “I remember when each one of those kids was born, and when they see me they hug me like I’m their uncle or something.” Jones still has Friday dinners with Kite even though his wife passed away earlier this year. “I’ll say, ‘I’m just a caddie,’ and Tom will tell me, ‘Don’t say that. You’re not just a caddie,’” Jones said.

experience has been, Antonio, Burke and Blaisdell were all in unanimous agreement. “Greg would be my choice,” said Antonio. “Greg, definitely.”
