SG proposal aims to reduce sexual assault

University continues fight against vandalism

By Matthew Adams @Matthew_Adams60

Student Government members introduced a resolution in support of sexual assault prevention and self-defense education in new student curriculum.

Legislation co-author Jennifer McGinty said the resolution will show University leadership, such as President Gregory Fenves, how serious students are about the issue.

“It is good to have legislation that says Student Government supports this, since we are the official voice of the students and since we have something in writing that says the student body wants this,” McGinty said. “This gives more credit to getting that to actually happen and making sure President Fenves knows this is a student initiative and not just from one or two girls who are writing legislation.”

The legilsation was

written following the lateSeptember release of a sexual assault study by the Association of American Universities, which found that almost one in five women reported being sexually assaulted since their enrollment at UT. “Sexual assault is never the fault of the survivor,” Voices of Violence, a campus resource that speaks out against interpersonal violence, wrote in the

Students construct sustainable terrariums

By Catherine Marfin @cccaatheeerineee

As part of Sustainability Week on campus, the Engineers for a Sustainable World hosted “Build Your Own Terrarium” on Tuesday, an event where students across campus were able to construct a habitat for their very own sustainable plant.

Hosted by the Campus Environmental Center, campus Sustainability Week events focus on sustainability issues and topics. Tuesday’s theme centered around gardening and each subsequent day will feature a different sustainability topic.

“The goal of this event is to raise awareness about what sustainability really means,” Caroline Kung, chemical engineering sophomore and member of the organization, said.

“The plants we chose for these terrariums require very little

Following Bevo’s death, a chalk representation of the UT and Texas A&M mascots adorned the East Mall Fountain on Monday morning, accompanied by the words “R.I.P. Bevo” and “A&M lives on.”

Landscape Services washed the chalk off upon discovering it, according to Laurie Lentz, communications manager of University Operations. As demonstrated by Monday’s incident, clean-up procedures, set in place by Facility Services, attempt to remove chalk artwork as soon as possible.

Lentz said Facility Services cleans up vandalism based on requests or prior knowledge of graffiti.

“To keep our campus as clean and orderly and inviting as possible, it would be important to clean [vandalism] up,” Lentz said.

Computer science freshman James Graham said he sees chalk vandalism frequently, and while some artwork is gone within two or three days, he has seen others last up to a week and a half. He said he has never reported an instance of chalk vandalism.

“I figured it was chalk and it will wash off, so I didn’t feel like it required immediate University attention,” Graham said.

Lentz said she believes chalk vandalism is a prevalent issue on campus and occurs frequently.

Library hosts workshop for book preservation, repair

Local entrepreneur Chad Goldwasser leased his newest venture, Tellers, and reopened it in only 8 days. He aims to make the venue one of Sixth Steet’s premier spots for live music.

New music venue opens downtown

By Megan Hix

A librarian at the PerryCastañeda Library said in a workshop Tuesday afternoon that keeping personal books in a cool temperature and dry environment with no direct exposure to sunlight will help prevent decay.

The workshop is part of the fall 2015 Learning Commons Workshops located on the main floor of PCL in the Learning Commons.

Wendy Martin, manager of digitization services and conservator for the UT Libraries, said this workshop is geared for personal collections, not library collections. She also encouraged leaving the care of rare books to professional services.

“Mold thrives in a warm, moist environment,” Martin said, while

In addition to basic storing and proper handling, Martin said it is also important to avoid storing the items in an attic or basement.

As financial troubles cause music venues such as Holy Mountain and Red7 to shut their doors, maintaining a hub for live music downtown seems increasingly difficult.

But local entrepreneur Chad Goldwasser isn’t daunted.

Tellers, which is located on Sixth and Trinity streets, officially opened Oct. 2. The venue will host its grand opening celebration Saturday and Sunday featuring performances from Graham Wilkinson,

Kalu James, Hunter Sharpe, Digital Wild and others. Club owner Goldwasser said he and co-owner Adam Weedman want to provide a space for Austin musicians to come together with the community.

resolution, A.R. 13. “There is no excuse for sexual assault; eliminating rape culture and creating a culture of consent is vital to the safety of UT students; and in the event of sexual assault, the survivor has the right to counseling, administrative and emotional support, fair and prompt reporting, and criminal investigation.”

Going forward, McGinty said adding more training, such as online modules for defense training, can help students feel safer.

“By making this an elective and providing some hours for students, more would come out for the training,” Edward Banner, the engineering representative for Student Government, said.

McGinty said this is a beneficial thing to add because, while UTPD has a

course in place, incoming students are not as familiar with it because it is not as easily accessible.

Grace Gilker, Women’s Relations Agency director and co-author of the legislation, said she looks forward to broadening approval of the legislation before discussing the it with University officials.

“We have been working with several members of SG,” Gilker, said. “We have met with UTPD, and we will meet with President Fenves later in November. We want to add SG’s coalition to this support.”

Taral Patel, chief of staff of Student Government, said at next week’s meeting, Student Government would introduce the Safe Campus Act, which mirrors legislation written by the Texas Senate this past session.

Organized by Jennette Saunders, sustainability cochair for the organization and chemical engineering junior, “Build Your Own Terrarium” was funded by the Student Engineering Council in order to educate students on sustainable gardening.

“The plants we chose are perfect for college students, since they are really low-maintenance and don’t require constant watering,” Saunders said.

“The coolest part is that the plants are their own ecosystems in the jar.”

Students built terrariums in small glass jars and filled with moss, gravel, charcoal and soil.

After the necessary items were packed into the jar, students chose a succulent to complete their terrarium.

“I never would have guessed what all goes into gardening before coming here,” chemical engineering sophomore Lianne Martin said. “The coolest part was that I actually got to get dirty and make this myself,

“I enjoy doing this kind of outreach,” Martin said. “Most of what I do is behind the scenes, so it’s nice to occasionally have the opportunity to share what I know and what we do with the University community.”

While the content of the workshop has not changed in the six years Martin has led it, this year, Martin introduced the Austin Books Arts Center, a resource offering bookbinding and book arts workshops.

The workshop was also held for the first time in the newly built Learning Commons, which suits the purposes of the class better than the PCL basement did, according to Martin.

Lentz said chalk vandalism is most common outdoors and is frequently seen around parking garages. Indoor vandalism occurs less often and is usually written with Sharpies. Custodial Services, a division of Facilities Services, is responsible for cleaning the vandalized areas.

Hershey CEO speaks at business school

By Forrest Milburn @forrestmilburn

While some students came for the free chocolate bars, others came to a Tuesday lecture to hear Hershey president and CEO John Bilbrey give advice and discuss his career.

Bilbrey, who was named CEO in June 2011, said his curious mind allowed him to overcome some of his weaknesses in certain areas in order to advance his career.

“There’s a certain toughness and perseverance required, and you have to be able to overcome more obstacles than people making it easy along the way,” Bilbrey said. “That’s certainly a very important piece of it. I was always raising my hand, ‘Why can’t we do it this way, why couldn’t we do that?’ I think I was quite annoying

to my boss, probably.”

Bilbrey said it is important for a corporation to give back to the community it is involved in and said his company tries to adhere to that principle by using local resources in production.

“One of the interesting things about the food business is food is local, and manufacturing close to where it is going to be consumed is also really important,” Bilbrey said. “These people love the company, this is their company, so we all make up this company.”

Ahmed Khan, management information systems sophomore, said he believed Bilbrey mentioned important information related to corporate entrepreneurship and curiosity.

“He also [advised] to remain curious and to

remain optimistic and stay on the path of always learning about your industry,” Khan said. “I think it’s really important … even if you’re 40 years old, you still have to learn as if you’re really young. I think he emphasized the fact that you need to maintain that sense of curiosity and remain a student of your industry.

Bilbrey came to University as part of the VIP Distinguished Speaker Series jointly hosted by the McCombs School of Business and Undergraduate Business Council. Bilbrey’s

Directed by Leslee Udwin, “India’s Daughter” tells the story of a 23-year-old Delhi woman’s brutal rape and murder at the hands of a group of men in December 2012. The incident immediately sparked protests around the country, forcing the Indian government to promptly act in bringing the accused to justice.

“Part of it is how the government said that this is not representative of our values and cultural traditions,” Taral Patel, Student Government chief of staff, said.

Attendees at next year’s Euphoria Festival may be headed home earlier than they expected each night, while neighbors to the festival sleep in peace after the County Commissioners Court passed changes to mass-gathering regulations in August.

Euphoria Music and Camping Festival filed a lawsuit against Travis County in late September, after the Travis County Commissioners Court approved noise curfews. The new rules require all amplified music to end by 11 p.m. on weeknights and 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

At the festival last April, music was scheduled until 12 a.m. on Sunday and 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, according to Euphoria Festival’s website.

The suit challenges the legality of the new curfew, stating that the new rules are unconstitutional under state law. A county has no authority to enact zoning laws, according to the suit, and the Commissioners Court cannot regulate the festival’s hours of operation.

Commissioner Margaret Gomez said despite the court not having zoning authority, she doesn’t want to dismiss ounty government’s duty to improve the lives of citizens. “[We] don’t have the zoning authority, of course, but we have statutes that are passed by the legislature which give us authority, or the ability, to look into making life a little better for people outside of the cities,” Gomez said.

Euphoria Festival takes place at Carson Creek Ranch, a private ranch in an unincorporated part of Travis County.

Nearby neighbors complained about noise from the festival and other similar music festivals held at the location.

The Commissioners Court unanimously approved the revisions to the mass-gathering permits after hearing testimony in August from neighbors who live near the music festival venue.

Commissioner Brigid Shea said she voted to pass the motion because it gave each side a little of what they were asking for.

“It’s a really important part of who we are as a community and how we’re known in the world, so the live music aura of our community is really important,” Shea said. “I also understand the human and public cost of excessive noise.”

Chad Shearer, chief operating officer and creative director at Caren West PR, manages public relations for Euphoria Festival and said he was unable to comment on any pending legal matters, since the suit hasn’t yet been heard.

“While the challenges presented to Euphoria and many other music events in Travis County have required we try to gain further clarity on how these new regulations may affect us, our current focus is on our fifth anniversary and doing everything we can to insure that this is the best Euphoria yet,” Shearer said.

The restricted hours the new rule enforces would diminishes the the festival, according to the suit.

“Euphoria cannot secure all of the performing talent for the festival if the hours of operation are restricted, and most such top talent must be secured many months in advance, because of the competing demand for their services,” the suit read.

The suit asks for a temporary and eventually permanent injunction against the the shorter hours of operation.

Euphoria Festival will be April 7–10 and general admission tickets went on sale Oct. 16.

and tolerance — that sometimes do conflict with our culture.”

Asian Family Support Services of Austin (AFSSA) hosted the screening in partnership with Voices Against Violence, among others, as part of Relationship Violence Prevention Month .

During the film, the victim’s mother and father, as well as the defense and trial lawyers involved in the case, discussed the gruesome account and trial. Two of the defense lawyers frequently said women need to be accompanied by a male family member at all times when walking outside, as one of the defenses for the rapist’s actions.

Political communication senior Hira Prakash, who also interns with AFSSA, said the film is important because it tells the story of a medical student from a South Asian perspective during a time when rape culture is heavily discussed.

“Talking about some of

these things from a cultural perspective is also very important,” Prakash said.

“There are some things that are just very unique to the culture in terms of how you talk about these things.”

Electrical engineering sophomore Alex Bi said the film provided an in-depth analysis of the Western perceptions of rape, in comparison to the more traditional Indian point of view.

“I thought it was really eyeopening,” Bi said. “I liked the way it was presented, and I thought it was a good way of promoting positive change and helping young people open their minds to ways we can change things about rape in the United States and in other countries.”

The next event in Voices Against Violence’s relationship violence campaign will be held this Wednesday at 8 p.m., with an interactive Theatre for Dialogue performance examining consent .

Empathy for Bevo, but not other cows, is hypocritical

By Ashvin Govil

Daily Texan Columnist @ashvio

Perhaps one of the most iconic and celebrated features of life as a Longhorn fan is the Longhorn mascot, Bevo. He represents the legendary UT football team and the entire culture behind it. Bevo XIV died from bovine leukemia virus last Friday, and much of the UT community has mourned his loss.

Bevo XIV touched the hearts and souls of hundreds of thousands of Longhorn fans, as seen through the level of empathy and kindness that people have expressed towards the animal over social media. But why don’t we extend that level of empathy toward all animals or even all cows?

The difference between a longhorn steer like Bevo and any of the 34 million cattle used for beef or milk production amounts to almost nothing, yet the same people who claim to love the cow do not hesitate when munching down on their hamburger the next day.

People should align their actions with their beliefs — either love Bevo and don’t eat the corpses of his species, or don’t love Bevo and continue eating meat.

Jacek Prus, philosophy senior and president of Students Against Cruelty to Animals,

said that this trend of hypocrisy among the community is disconcerting.

“People are sad that Bevo is dead, which is cool, but they don’t make the connection that the burgers and the milk they drink cause suffering to animals like Bevo, except on the scale of hundreds of thousands and millions of them,” Prus said. “Why are we eating our own mascot?”

Prus poses an excellent question. We should be concerned when such a large gap exists between the way we treat different animals of the same species.

“We’re so conveniently isolated from animals that are turned into food, and that’s the only way that this industry exists,” Prus said.

“People’s empathy has been destroyed. It can’t exist, because they don’t see the animal and don’t spend time with it.”

Neuroscience freshman Arushii Nadar did not grow up isolated from animals, and her experiences turned her and her mother into vegetarians for life.

“When I was younger, I lived in India.

Slaughterhouses were out in the open, and I saw animals being casually butchered,” Nadar said. “It was awful.”

But meat culture is rarely talked about in the United States. 95 percent of Americans eat meat, so doing so is considered normal and acceptable. However, Prus said that the

widespread nature of meat eating does not show that it is morally acceptable.

“There are a lot of immoral things that people do around each other,” Prus said.

Although it can seem difficult to empathize with animals people have eaten all their lives, the response to Bevo’s death showed that we

do have that capability. It’s about time to try to expand our “circle of compassion,” as Prus calls it, from just our mascot to the millions of other animals who did not have the fortune to be named Bevo.

APD body cameras help protect both citizens and police

By Mary Dolan

Daily Texan Columnist @mimimdolan

Imagine that you are stopped by a police officer on an empty street. You feel intimidated — maybe because you are Black and he is white or you are a woman and he is a man. But how intimidated would you feel if he had a body camera keeping track of your interaction?

Both campus and city residents may soon be answering this question. The University of Texas Police Department is currently testing body cameras for its officers, and Austin Mayor Steve Adler wants officers in the Austin Police Department to start wearing them in 2016. While the body camera programs for both departments are still in their early stages, it’s clear that they aren’t just lip service, which is great news for Austin residents.

The public’s and campus’s desire for body cameras began after a string of highly publicized interactions with police hit the news, including one in Texas involving Sandra Bland and one involving a group of teenagers in McKinney. The aftermath of these incidents was confusing because accounts from witnesses tended to differ and change.

This is a problem, and police officers need

to be held accountable for inconsistent reports. One way of doing this is to give them body cameras. An officer is much less likely to harass someone or treat them with prejudice when he has a camera on his person that is recording the interactions he has with citizens.

People can talk to police and feel safer knowing that they have more than just one person who will know about the conversation.

Body cameras also have ways of helping the police themselves. If someone tries to falsely accuse a police officer of harassment or violence, then the police officer can show footage from the camera to prove that they are innocent. Also, if details of an interaction are being disputed or if officers need to go back and review part of a confrontation, they can do so easily and get the footage they need.

This is not to say that body cameras are perfect. The body camera program for the Los Angeles Police Department allows for LAPD to withhold the footage from the public, which can raise suspicion. This is something UTPD and APD need to take into consideration. Body cameras can also be expensive to create and implement. The Dallas Police Department’s body camera program is estimated to cost at least $3.7 million.

Overall, however, the benefits of body

cameras far outweigh their potential costs.

In an age where many Americans feel distrustful of the police, these cameras could go a long way toward restoring the sense of trust that should exist between officers and

the citizens they protect. And on a dark and empty street, they could make those same citizens feel a whole lot safer.

Sexual assault research must Promoting gender equality consider race in the future requires nuanced rhetoric

By Loyce Gayo

Daily Texan Columnist @LoyceGayo

From the image of the Jezebel — a sexually promiscuous and immoral Black woman — to the image of the Sapphire — a hostile, nagging, dark-skinned woman — myths and stereotypes have long shaped how society denies or minimizes the impact of sexual assault on women of color. These stereotypes, rooted in a grim history of racial brutality, have allowed for sexual violence committed against women of color to be viewed as insignificant, acceptable or even justified. “[Stereotyping] creates symbolic violence and devalues the bodies of certain students,” sociology graduate student Juan Portillo said.

At the university level, it is difficult to direct a conversation on how Black women experience sexual violence because of the way data is collected. The AAU survey results released Sept.

21, while thought provoking and insightful, fail to capture the University’s racial demographic.

In light of UT’s dismal 13 percent response rate, the University-specific data fails to capture the nuances of sexual violence on campus. “[The survey] is missing something important,” Portillo said. “The assumption goes that, regardless of race, the experience of sexual violence is the same. That assumption is premised on erasing or not realizing [Black] experiences.”

Black women also face barriers when seeking help in times of adversity. Experienced racism has caused many Black women to distrust

institutions designed to help survivors. At hospitals or at the hands of law enforcement, Black women are given less priority and more likely to be treated with disrespect.

The story of Marissa Alexander, a Florida woman sentenced to 20 years in prison for firing a warning shot during a fight with her estranged husband, is an example of this. According to Portillo, a graduate student assistant for Voices Against Violence, distrust for institutions poses a challenge for the University, as well.

“The work [Voices Against Violence] does matters, and it does have an impact,” Portillo said. “But we are not making the changes in institutions to be able to respond to issues such as how to be sensitive to the different experiences.”

Efforts to make the conversation on sexual violence more intersectional are being made on campus. Lynn Hoare, health education coordinator for Voices Against Violence, said partnerships with student organizations have been the most effective way to build an inclusive discussion on race and bring about change.

More research is required to grasp the scope of sexual assault Black women experience and the barriers they face to receive support services. This requires both the will and funding of the University to prioritize the lives of students of color. The University owes it to its most marginalized voices to recognize the systemic racism that has long rendered Black female bodies invisible.

Daily Texan Columnist @_emilyvernon_

Women are so often described as “crazy” or “overly emotional” by men that the negative adjectives are often found creeping into a female’s vocabulary when describing other women. This is unacceptable. In fact, it can be argued that for feminism — also known as gender equality — to become a widespread phenomenon, it needs to start from within.

Women need to be more respectful to each other to ensure respect from men.

Respect involves both employing nongender-specified rhetoric and validating one’s emotions. It is derogatory to dismiss emotion because of gender. This practice teaches women to ignore the importance of their thoughts and feelings. In fact, a recent study showed people react more positively to opinionated anger from men than women. This supports many women’s complaints of workplace discrimination.

If women showed more respect towards each other, it would become increasingly taboo for a man to discredit and disrespect a woman. Slander is a power tool; ultimately, it is used to establish hierarchy and to prove one’s self above another. Speaking of a person in derogatory, gender-specific terms allows societal gender inequality to perpetuate.

“The ways that women associate with each other and how some of us will use ‘slut’ or ‘bitch’ to talk about each other does not help the fact that we don’t want a guy to talk to us

like that,” biology senior Allysa Garcia said.

These terms are considered taboo in society, deemed as inappropriate and hurtful, yet continue to have a presence in casual vocabulary. Most women become upset upon hearing someone assign this stereotype to them, yet many turn around and use the same words for other women. This not only hurts self-esteem but produces a never-ending circular cycle of gender-specified rhetoric which contributes to the social inequality faced by many women in the United States today.

Sociology adjunct professor Gloria González-López said in an email that a patriarchal society makes women responsible for men’s sexual behavior, placing undue blame on the female in cases of sexual promiscuity.

“Research and theorizing on gender inequality and sexual violence against women has discovered and documented the ways in which women may believe, internalize, and take into practice the very same belief system that oppresses us as women,” González-López said in the email. “For instance, a young woman may confide in her friend about the experience of sexual assault she had Friday night on 6th Street. That friend may then ask her questions like, ‘What were you wearing that night?

Are you sure you did not provoke him?’”

Rhetoric has more influence than we often acknowledge. It is time to understand the weight of words and the practices they promote. It is time to promote equality between genders, which must begin with women empowering women.

With a more engaging narrative, “The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone” connects players with characters within “The Witcher” universe.

WITCHER continues from page 8 “Hearts of Stone” introduces a handful of new bosses that largely stray from anything found in “The Wild Hunt” in terms of difficulty and creativity. One boss fight against an otherworldly gravedigger with the power to siphon rash players health forces the player to abandon the usual buttonmashing tactic and adopt a more cautious approach.

Disappointingly, the new enemies, Arachnids, put up no challenge to a seasoned monster hunter who can mow through them in a single hit. In contrast to the new bosses, new enemy types are just re-skins of previous enemies from “The Wild Hunt” that don’t challenge the player to approach

battles differently.

The expansion also introduces Runewords, an addition to “The Wild Hunt”’s rune system. They offer enhanced buffs that try to alter gameplay styles by empowering the traditional runes, letting the player maximize their stats beyond what was possible in the base game. While they do offer a serious edge in battle, they are largely unnecessary.

“Hearts of Stone” can easily be played through without ever using the new Runewords and can be easily missed by players who only go through the “Hearts of Stone” main quest line.

“The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone” truly exists in its own realm in the Witcher universe.

“Hearts of Stone” still offers more of the great gameplay found in “The Wild Hunt,” truly enriching the Witcher experience through a narrative that is easily the best the series has to offer, only falling flat in the minimal additions throughout the ten-hour adventure.

Goldwasser said his eagerness to open Tellers led him to start hosting concerts less than two weeks after leasing and renovating the building.

“Music is one of my first passions, besides my children,” Goldwasser said. “To me, [Tellers] is not my place — it’s Austin’s place. I want the musicians to come in, and if there’s one person in the audience, I’m going to be in the front row dancing.”

Each of Tellers’ three floors has a different ambiance. A warm, speakeasy-inspired bar called Vinyl hosts DJs and after-hours parties downstairs. On the main floor, exposed stonework preserves the

historic feeling of the 19th-century building. Upstairs, the main stage is set up for three or four genre-spanning shows a night.

“God gave me this intensely fire-burning energy,” Goldwasser said. “I don’t need much sleep, and I love serving people, so when you come into Tellers, you’ll see me greeting people, behind the bar making drinks, dancing at the front of the stage, helping the bands.

Advancements in technology Marty’s journey into “Café ’80s” also presents a memorable moment when he shows a couple of cynical kids the wonders of an old arcade cabinet. This scene comments on how video games have benefited from updated technology. The boys’ disgust over playing a video game using their hands shows that games, such as those using Kinect, can now be used without controllers. Likewise, the way the café uses computers to playfully resurrect popular figures such as Michael Jackson and Ronald Reagan is eerily similar to the use of holograms at concerts to bring back deceased icons such as Tupac and Elvis.

“Back to the Future” made other accurate predictions about technology. Just as Marty chatted with Needles on his TV, many people today have held face-to-face conversations from miles away over Skype, Google Hangout and other communication applications on their laptops, tablets and phones. from bartenders.

“This is about knowing who comes through the door, greeting them, getting to know who they are and why they’re here and making it a special place for people to hang out,” Weedman said. “We’re going to push our bartenders and our servers to be exceptional at making people feel good.”

Goldwasser said he decided on the venue’s name, an abbreviation of “storytellers,” because he believes music can tell stories that heal people.

“I love stories about songs,” Goldwasser said. “I want to know what they’re writing about and why.”

The people of the fictional 2015 have also become absorbed with their electronic devices, even in the company of their friends and family — as Marty’s brood sits down for dinner, his kids focus more on their TV glasses than on holding conversation. While Google Glass hasn’t become commercial yet, the idea behind the scene has proved startlingly prescient.

The hoverboard Perhaps the most recognizable aspect of “Back to the Future”’s depiction of 2015 was Marty’s pink, Mattelbrand hoverboard. Today’s scientists have yet to achieve the technology to mass produce anything beyond experimental prototypes, but some developments have attempted to revolutionize the way people travel. Recently popular stand-ins are “smartbalance scooters,” which are two-wheeled, handle-less scooters that are the closest way to ride the streets in midair.

“This is a guy that’s from Austin with local bands and local beers — whatever you spend there is going back to the community,” Wilkinson said. “The goal behind it is to create an environment that is supportive to artists and listeners to hear all kinds of music.”

According to Goldwasser, Tellers is only the first part of a bigger plan. He and Weedman hope to open venues in cities across America with the goal of becoming the next House

If the Cubs manage to win the NCLS, they have a shot at making “Back to the Future”’s prediction come true by winning their first World Series since 1908.

Elliott leads Longhorns in quest for title

SIDELINE MLB

By Michael Shapiro @mshap2

Head coach Jerritt Elliott isn’t satisfied. His Longhorns have won 12 matches in a row — nine of them in straight sets — but as Elliott stood on the corner of the court during Texas’s Friday practice at Gregory Gym, the 47-year-old coach from Pacific Palisades, California, refused to let his team relax.

Elliott doesn’t say much during practice, but his words carry extra weight. He shuffles his team through drills with short commands, shouting “weave” and “10-man” from the sidelines., as the No. 2 Longhorns follow his instructions to a tee.

Why wouldn’t they? In his time in Austin, Elliott has been one of the premier coaches in the country. boasting a record of 365–86 heading into Wednesday evening’s match against Kansas State.

“I still lose sleep about letting this program fall a little bit,” Elliott said. “So there is a ton of urgency on our end to keep trying to win games and play at a high level.”

At the collegiate level, a head coach is responsible for much more than X’s and O’s. In addition to coaching his team on the court, Elliott serves as the de facto CEO for Texas volleyball, overseeing each facet of the Texas program.

“Jerritt does a great job giving us the space to do what we do,” assistant coach Erik Sullivan said. “He has a hand

in every part of the program, but he’s always open to new thoughts and new ideas.”

Although Elliott takes pride in being a strong tactical coach, he truly hangs his hat in the recruiting field. Since arriving in Austin in the spring of 2001, Elliott has compiled 13 nationally ranked recruiting classes, seven of which ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the nation.

“He’s a great recruiter,” senior libero Kat Brooks said.

“When I came on my visit, he was a big reason I chose Texas.

He makes all of his players feel comfortable and at home, which is really important.”

As head coach, Elliott stresses daily routines. His players follow a specific daily regimen, forcing them to concentrate on the fundamentals both on and off the court. These routines have become critical to the program, and the Longhorns rely on them come

tournament time, when the pressure builds and players lose themselves in the moment.

“The tournament is all about routines and schedules,” junior middle blocker Chiaka Ogbogu said. “It helps to know what’s expected of us and what we need to do every day.”

One national championship, six Final Four appearances and seven Big 12 titles place Elliott as one of the top coaches in Texas history. But

despite these accolades, Elliott isn’t satisfied.

“I want to keep building this program,” Elliott said. “I want to keep putting Final Four runs together, and I want to keep putting ourselves in position to win some more national titles. That’s what motivates me.”

Elliott and the Longhorns face unranked Kansas State in Manhattan, Kansas, on Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Women’s tennis awaits facilities after destruction of home courts

By Samuel Williams @smwilliams27

Texas women’s tennis played its last true home match April 26, 2014.

The game — a loss to Oklahoma State — marked the last match played at the historic Penick-Allison Tennis Center. Contractors tore down the courts in May 2014 to make room for the Dell Medical School.

The tennis center, which stood a block west of the Frank Erwin Center, was Texas tennis’ home for 29 years.

“The destruction of PenickAllison had a large ripple effect on the tennis community,” Tom Webber, president of the Capital Area Tennis Association (CATA), said.

The ripple effect takes many forms. The demolition required the program to relocate practices to Whitaker Fields, the home of UT’s intramural sports. It also moved team competition to the Weller Tennis Center and other local facilities.

The effects extended to all groups who use the courts regularly.

“The courts at Whitaker were cracked and in very poor condition until varsity moved there,” Samantha Wendt, president of the UT club tennis team, said. “They ended up renovating 20 of the courts, which is nice because we can now practice on safe courts when varsity isn’t there.”

Not all impacts were positive, though.

“Unfortunately, for a year, we lost the opportunity to host tournaments at the facilities, which hurt our club financially,” Wendt said.

Club tennis couldn’t host its annual national tournament in 2014. Travel costs increased, and the team had to adjust its practice time to cater to the varsity.

Improving the courts was the first step in Whitaker’s renovation. Although the IM fields will shut down this week for construction, the tennis courts will remain open. “[RecSports] does repairs and maintenance out there annually, and so those courts were going to be resurfaced anyways,” said Jennifer Speer, associate director of the Division of Recreational Sports.

“We just sped up the resurfacing so that we could make sure they were in good condition for athletics.”

The athletics department covered one-fourth of resurfacing costs because varsity now practices at Whitaker, but intramural participants defer court priority to varsity.

Finance senior Clint Golman experienced that last weekend.

“All the resurfaced courts were taken, and we were forced to play on the older, decrepit courts,” said Golman, an intramural tennis champion. “We considered waiting, but the one set of nice courts available later in the day were reserved by the women’s tennis team.”

Speer said no one has ap-

proached her with complaints.

“Forty courts is more than adequate for the community,” Speer said. “I don’t feel that we have displaced any students.”

As tennis continues to practice at Whitaker, plans are underway for a new facility elsewhere.

“We were very supportive of developing a facility [at Whitaker],” Speer said. “However, athletics wanted a location that was much closer to campus.”

Before resigning in September, athletic director Steve Patterson addressed the issue.

Athletics decided that Texas tennis will move east across I-35 to a brand-new facility. But Patterson didn’t raise enough funds for the project before resigning.

“We were told that we, the alumni, needed to raise $15 million before construction could begin,” Laurence A. Becker told The Daily Texan in April. Becker captained the 1958 UT tennis team and was assistant coach from 1962–1964.

The project remains in the early stages. Plans include 12 courts, a players’ lounge and state-of-the-art broadcast equipment. Facilities will also feature a trophy room, foyer and 1,200 seats.

To make room, the contractors will tear down the 39-year-old UT Printing and Press Building in December.

Athletics hopes to cut ribbons on the new facilities by February 2017.

Then, Texas tennis can again play a true home match.

1. Excitement to play: Smart talked about the scrimmage during his media session Tuesday. He said he’s excited for fans to get a preview of this year’s lineup.

“You’ll see enthusiasm, you’ll see our guys playing aggressively,” Smart said.

“Hopefully, you’ll see a connected group of guys on each side and guys having fun out there.”

2. HAVOC: Wednesday is the first time fans will see Smart’s “HAVOC” defense, which acts as a trapping defense that combines elements of the press and zone. Under the signature press defense, VCU ranked No. 1 in the nation in turnovers forced in 2011 and 2012, and behind this strategy, Smart took VCU to a Final Four appearance in 2011. It will be interesting to see what Smart’s defense looks like with Texas for the first time.

3. Carving out an identity: This isn’t the same Texas team fans saw last year.

Smart said last week that the team is still establishing its

identity. Last year, Texas averaged 67.4 points per game, which ranked No. 125 in the country. Smart wants to play at a higher tempo this season.

“The identity has to come first, before the style of play,” Smart said. “In terms of basketball, we want to play faster than maybe they did in the past.”

4. Roach: Junior Isaiah Taylor, senior Javan Felix and senior Demarcus Holland will split most of the pointguard time this season. But Smart said freshman Kerwin Roach, Jr. should get playing time at point guard in the scrimmage.

“I’d say 90 percent of [Roach’s] reps have been at the point-guard spot,” Smart said Tuesday at Big 12 media day. “Though when he is in there with Isaiah or Javan, he’s very capable of playing off the ball.”

5. Final touches: Smart said the biggest challenge as a firstyear coach is getting everyone on the same wavelength. Even though the season opener is 23 days out, Smart’s progress will be evident at Gregory on Wednesday.

“The biggest challenge is getting on the same page — players, coaches, everyone that’s part of our program — and us being connected around one goal, connected around a process for accomplishing that goal.”

Smart said.

SPORTS BRIEFLY Longhorns confident heading into Saturday

Redshirt freshman quarterback Jerrod Heard said Tuesday that the Longhorns’ chemistry is peaking after a week off.

“Our chemistry right now is awesome,” Heard said. “We’re feeling for each other out there. The O-line, communicationwise, is great. … The receivers are running the right routes. Everything is coming together.”

Heard said the upset win against the Sooners sparked new and improved chemistry. Additionally, several players are back from injury, which gives the Longhorns an extra punch.

“We’ve been very banged up, up front,” play-caller Jay Norvell said. “That affected us the last couple weeks, to be honest, … but this bye week has really helped us to heal up. We weren’t 100 percent, to be honest with you.”

The Longhorns are particularly satisfied with the offense’s progress through bye-week practices.

Heard said the unit improved the most during the week off. Now, he expects it to put up points.

“That’s the one thing we wanted to do.” Heard said.

“Just help our defense out, chew the clock down and execute.”

McFly’s ‘Future’ comes close to modern day

By Charles Liu & Alex Pelham @thedailytexan

Film geeks are dusting off their power-laced Nikes and donning their self-drying jackets to celebrate “Back to the Future Day.” Wednesday marks the exact date when series protagonist, ’80s teen Marty McFly, traveled to the year 2015 in Robert Zemeckis’ “Back to the Future Part II.” While Zemeckis said he never intended to accurately depict the future, his vision did get many aspects about it right Nostalgia for previous decades The scene in which Marty walks into the colorful “Café ’80s” shows that “Back to the Future Part II” nailed the obsession people would have for the past. From the kitsch decorations to computerized versions of ’80s celebrities, Zemeckis knew how to exaggerate an entire decade for laughs. He also predicted future generations would rely on nostalgic reminiscences of outdated media and entertainment. The way

‘Hearts of Stone’ expands Witcher game series

By Brian O’Kelly @mildlyusedbrain

“The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone,” an expansion to the critically acclaimed “The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt,” strives to separate itself from the largely grandiose narrative that comprised the main series’ titles. Avoiding a plot focused on medieval politics, the expansion adds a more

human element to its storytelling. The new story structure gives it a severely different feel from its predecessors and engages players with the characters found within “The Witcher”’s mystical universe.

“Hearts of Stone” begins by introducing Olgierd von Everec, a noble rogue, as he criticizes a statue of a naked woman. To him, the statue is nothing more than a rock,

ideally proportioned, without a flaw on its surface. In disgust, he sends the statue crumbling onto the floor. This introduction sets a thematic tone for the rest of the expansion, which seeks to deconstruct the stolid character of Geralt of Rivia who existed in the previous iterations of “The Witcher.”

The new narrative strives to repeatedly put Geralt in

situations in which he is forced to break his usually stoic character, having him act as a fool during a wedding or break from his lone-wolf mentality to plan a heist. Overall, the story is a refreshing change of pace from the emotionless mutant that players have come to know.

The series has previously used flat characters that range from irredeemably evil to

unscrupulous in order to tell its cynical fairy tale. “Hearts of Stone” seeks to tell a more human tale, focusing itself around the relatable story of a single character, von Everec.

Von Everec lacks the selfinterest and intrigue characteristic of previous characters in the series. He has human flaws, and his story is tragic.

The new story takes place

in the northeast region of Novigrad, which is more open than in “The Wild Hunt.” The region recycles many of the assets used in “The Wild Hunt” to create its new landscapes and towns. Despite these new additions, the story takes place in the familiar city of Oxenfort, requiring little exploration on the part of the player.
