UT law students defend immigrants By Catherine Marfin @catherinemarfin

UT law students have been representing immigrant families who have experienced persecution from their home countries for over a decade. Each semester, the UT Immigration Clinic selects a dozen law students to represent low-income immigrants from all over the world, both in federal courts and the Department of Homeland Security. The clinic focuses on

immigrants seeking protection, or asylum status, from political, religious and gender-based violence in their home countries. Unlike in criminal cases, immigrants are not provided with an appointed counsel. Without the students at the immigration clinic, many of these immigrants would not receive the help they need to escape persecution and abuse in their home countries, according to Elissa Steglich, an attorney at law and clinical professor at the Immigration Clinic. “For me, the most rewarding

part is seeing the students take responsibility for these cases,” Steglich said. “We are working to provide quality representation to those who would otherwise lack it.” Since law professor Barbara Hines founded the clinic in 1999, it has partnered with a variety of non-profit legal organizations that also work to represent immigrants. While the Immigration Clinic has represented immigrants from all over the world, the majority of its clients are from

Democratic candidates in a crowded race for the House District 49 seat attempted to differentiate themselves from each other during a moderated discussion on campus Monday. Speaking to a predominantly student audience, the candidates emphasized their progressive stances on issues such as tuition, campus carry, affordable housing and abortion in a forum moderated by Daily Texan staffer Forrest Milburn and Jordan Pahl, Student Government state relations director. Lawyer Aspen Dunaway, former legislative staffer Huey Fischer, Austin ISD trustee Gina Hinojosa, former NARAL Pro-Choice Texas staffer Blake Rocap and housing rights advocate Heather Way were present at the debate. Attorney Kenton Johnson and criminal defense attorney Matthew Shrum were not present at the debate. Fischer and Way, both of whom are UT graduates, and the latter of whom serves on the UT Law School faculty, said they would pay close attention to higher education issues, such as substandard student housing. “I have a long and deep track record here fighting in Austin for affordable housing,” Way said. “That is a big issue for a

College of Education associate professors Keffrelyn Brown and Anthony Brown recently published the book “Black Intellectual Thought in Education: The Missing Traditions of Anna Julia Cooper, Carter G. Woodson, and Alain LeRoy Locke” in an effort to provide a counter-narrative in the study of African-American intellectuals and culture across history. Cooper, Woodson and Locke were prominent black scholars and philosophers in the early 20th century who spoke out on subjects including race, gender, education and art. During their time, they were faced with an academic and social climate that sought to minimize the influence of their work, according to Keffrelyn Brown. “Those particular authors — the ones that we highlighted — are just an example of very prolific writers and prolific educators whose work has not been canonized,” Brown said. “Clearly that would be connected to larger perceptions over what was considered legitimate work and who could produce it at the time when they were writing.” Woodson, one of the book’s subjects, initially founded Black History Month’s predecessor, Negro History Week, to act as a counter-narrative to a story that was leaving out important black voices, Keffrelyn Brown said.

Students, professors critique UTeach introduces new high Super Bowl ads via Twitter school computer science class By Lynna Vo

By Jasleen Shokar

For many viewers, the main attraction of Sunday night’s Super Bowl was not the Denver Broncos’ 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers but the ads that aired throughout the game. Students and faculty from the Moody College of Communication livetweeted critiques of Super Bowl advertisements using the hashtag #AdGradBowl during the game. In the fourth annual AdGrad Bowl, communication professor Gary Wilcox formed a team made up of advertising

professors and students to critique and monitor ads on social media for their emotional impact and brand visibility. Wilcox said the bowl gave students a chance to converse with advertisers over Twitter.

High schools across the country will soon introduce a new computer science course to their curriculums, thanks to an initiative by the University’s UTeach program. UTeach, a program that encourages undergraduate STEM students to pursue teaching careers, is promoting a UT-designed course to enhance computer science education for high school students and teachers. The course, “Computer Science Principles,” was developed through a partnership between UT’s computer science department and the College of Education and

is expected to gain an endorsement from the College Board. After developing the course, UT reached out to its 44 partner universities across the country to introduce the curriculum to high schools in those areas. The course aims to attract a more diverse pool of students than the current Advanced Placement computer science course. “It is a broader curriculum, encouraging to young women and developed to be a lot more collaborative and inviting,” said Alicia Beth, UTeach research and evaluation manager. “It will focus on conceptual understanding and computational thinking to solve problems.” Before the course

UTeach students are currently working to design computer science content for teachers, since many of them had difficulty developing computer science curriculums for younger students. “For [computer science] majors trying out teaching, the early UTeach classes do not provide them the opportunity to teach [computer science]-related content,” UTeach director Kimberly Hughes said. “We are helping them prepare content kits so that students who have [computer science] in-

sexual assault. “One of the biggest issues I see is that the offices at the universities that are supposed to be in charge of Title IX compliance are more worried about the institutions’ Title IX liability than they are in protecting students,” Rocap said. Maliha Mazhar, University Democrats communications director, said Fischer, whom University Democrats endorsed, stood apart from other candidates because of his extensive student involvement on campus and leadership on issues such as campus carry.

“He made a really strong case on why he would be the best advocate for students,” Mazhar said. “He really tried to get campus carry to be stopped, and he was a great aid.” Journalism senior Shadan Larki said she thought the forum was enlightening but would need to do more research to choose a candidate. “Looking at their proposals and doing more research after tonight, I think doing that is going to help me differentiate [between candidates],” Larki said.

Students working for the Immigration Clinic have been combating family detention policies since early 2006, when the T. Don Hutto center in Taylor, Texas, began detaining immigrant women. The clinic succeeded in ending detention practices at the Hutto immigration center in 2009 but has since been working against family detention practices in facilities in Karnes City and Dilly, Texas.

According to Steglich, the program has had a 100 percent success rate in that none of their clients have ever been deported. “This work definitely gives a voice to the voiceless,” said Julio Gonzales, Plan II and sociology junior and intern for the program. “The students here are dealing with people who don’t have a lot of power. They’re making sure they can live a life like those of us who were privileged enough to be born in America.”

Michael Brick always chose his words carefully. So on March 5, 2014, he took his time flipping through The Daily Texan in front of him.

He pointed out a few details he liked and some choices that could have been better. Then he closed the paper, laid it flat on the table, looked up and declared: “That was the best paper of the year.” He left the room without another word. According to former managing editor Shabab Siddiqui, Brick knew how to make an impact. “He wasn’t sentimental, but he had a flair for dramatic moments,” Siddiqui said. “Little flairs of a guy who’s watched too many sports movies or western dramas.” Brick, a journalist and adviser for The Daily Texan, passed away early Monday morning in Austin, Texas after a battle with colon cancer. He was 41. A Daily Texan alumnus himself, Brick served as editorial adviser for The Daily Texan between the summer of 2013 and the summer of 2014. In his fedora, vest and half-undone tie, he brought a sense of professionalism to the basement office, even when surrounded by college students in shorts and flip-flops. “He created an atmosphere that raised the status quo of what journalists were doing in the basement,” said former managing editor Jack Mitts, who served as design editor under Brick. “He didn’t make any of us feel like kids or that this was a learning experience — he made it feel like this was it.” Taking student journalists seriously meant delivering

real — and at times painfully honest — criticism, said former managing editor Jordan Rudner, who worked as news editor during Brick’s tenure. “You could tell everything he said was sincere. That meant that he only gave compliments that he meant, and when you deserved criticism, you’d get it,” Rudner said. “It’s really easy, when you’re dealing with students, to either couch your criticisms or lower your expectations, but he never did that.” Brick approached every job he had at the Texan with equal enthusiasm, according to Stephen Scheibal, director of media relations and community engagement for Dell Medical School. Schiebal, who joined the Texan alongside Brick in 1992, said he could tell Brick was talented right away. “He just had this incredible enthusiasm for the job,” Schiebal said. “He had a incredible enthusiasm to do the job better and better — he became a really fantastic writer, a really great stylist, and it had as much to do with his enthusiasm for getting better as it did with his considerable natural talent.” Rudner said Brick cared as much about the Texan in his capacity as an adviser as he had in his own time working on staff. Brick’s passion for the students was visible during his daily critiques, known as “Brickdowns,” and when he was playing in weekly “Staffsketball” games. “He didn’t want to be the star of the show; he wasn’t angling for a byline — he was helping us to want to angle for that byline, and he helped so many other reporters want to aspire to that same level of commitment and energy that he had,” Rudner said. “All the energy that he had as a staffer, he gave to us.” Over the course of his career, Brick reported for The New York Times and authored two books — one about Texas public schools

He left his role as Texan adviser in 2014 to return to full-time writing, becoming a senior writer at the Houston Chronicle, a position he held until his death. Siddiqui said the breadth of Brick’s writing career proves Brick took the advice he often gave to his students: “to get off your ass and knock on doors.” “The guy lived until 41, but he did the full circle of things that most people don’t finish even when they’re 70,” Siddiqui said. “He got in and out of the New York Times before most people were even thinking about getting in. He did the full circle of things that I think most people don’t get to do who live twice as long as he did.” Scheibal said the same qualities that made Brick a great reporter also made him a great friend. “He listened to everything, he absorbed everything — he was always able to run things through this wonderfully human filter that he had,” Scheibal said. “He was able to see the small details that really told the stories.” “I have hundreds of memories of Mike,” he added. “I’m going to be feeding off all of them for the rest of my life.” Brick is survived by his wife, Stacy; his three children, John-Henry, Celia and Sadie; his mother, Mary; his father, Robert; and his brother, Jeffrey.

Technological innovations are allowing HIV-positive residents of Austin to receive faster, more efficient care to battle nicotine addiction. The UT Tobacco Research and Evaluation Team is partnering with AIDS Arms, an organization in Dallas that provides treatment and counseling to people with HIV/ AIDS, in order to develop a tobacco cessation program known as eTobacco Protocol for Texas residents. The program refers patients to Texas Quitline, which offers free tobacco cessation services such as a two-week nicotine replacement therapy and five telephone-based cessation counseling sessions. Through the eTobacco Protocol, AIDS Arms, along with the help of the UT Tobacco Research and Evaluation Team, has established an electronic referral link to Quitline’s services that was not previously available.

CDC infographic hurts women By Leah Kashar

Daily Texan Senior Columnist @LeahKashar

It is safe to say no one has ever gotten a sexually transmitted disease from drinking alcohol. However, a recent infographic from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggested women should not drink lest they accidentally contract a pregnancy or an STD. It even goes so far as to encourage women not to drink because it can cause injuries and/or violence. While its intentions of reducing fetal alcohol syndrome were sound, this infographic encourages subtle victim blaming by insinuating that women who drink alcohol are to blame for much more than having a few extra drinks. The CDC intended to reduce fetal alcohol syndrome by publishing this infographic, which is a noble cause. Similarly, the idea that women could choose to use birth control to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy is sound. However, this infographic combines these ideas improperly and draws the wrong conclusion by implying that pregnancy, STDs and assault are a woman’s fault if she drinks. This ignores the root cause of the problem. As a health organization, the CDC is obligated to employ the best and most beneficial tactics to combat the health problems our nation faces. Studies have shown that victim blaming produces depressive effects, anxiety and consequences for mental health. By employing this tactic, the CDC is negatively impacting women rather than helping them. The infographic implies that if a woman drinks more than her allowed amount, she can expect consequences, and said consequences

According to this infographic, the amount not to be exceeded is eight drinks a week, or more than four drinks in two to three hours. Women should not have restrictions placed on them that men do not, including drinking. Aliyah Conley, Plan II, English and anthropology sophomore and vice president of Programming for Women’s Resource Agency explained that this infographic is insulting beyond the fact that the CDC should remain objective in general. “The connection between STDs and alcohol consumption is odd and doesn’t provide women — or anyone for that matter — with helpful information regarding safe practices,” Conley said. “While alcohol is a health risk, it is a risk for everyone, not just for women. Placing these expectations and burdens on women to monitor their alcohol consumption to prevent injuries, violence and STDs is misguided and reinforces a culture that devalues and belittles women.” Especially on a college campus, where sexual assault is a known problem, encouraging victim blaming is especially problematic. On college campuses, drinking and partying occur on a regular basis,

and women should be able to do so without fear, just as men do. Everyone should be responsible in consuming alcohol, and women who are pregnant probably should not drink. However, we must be careful to avoid perpetuating a culture that blames women for something

that happens to them. Saying that a woman got pregnant because she was drunk is no better than saying a woman got pregnant because her clothes were too tight. It takes more than a beer to get an STD. Kashar is an English freshman from Scarsdale, New York.

Don’t laugh at Jeb; cry for other Republicans By Noah M. Horwitz

Daily Texan Senior Columnist @NmHorwitz

Readers of my column will be familiar with my disdain for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. I’ve questioned his intelligence, I’ve denied the existence of his political acumen and I’ve even intimated that his family name is his biggest asset in the race, all in the pages of the Texan. However, for a brief moment this past week, I also felt pity for him. At a recent campaign event in New Hampshire, Bush delivered a speech that prompted a tepid reaction. Actually, tepid is an understatement; his comments were followed by total silence. Bush frowned, titled his head and — in the most pathetic voice I have heard in some time — uttered two words that likely sunk whatever chances his presidential campaign still had left: “Please clap.” It’s funny, especially given how cocky Bush had been in the early stages of the campaign. (He triumphed in early endorsements and fundraising, which compose the so-called “silent primary”). It’s also a little tragic, especially after seeing Bush’s full potential during Saturday’s Republican debate. Bush repeatedly hounded the front-runner, Donald Trump, most notably for his controversial use of eminent domain for one of his business’s casinos in New Jersey. Bush contended that Trump abused the process to evict an elderly woman from her home, allegedly to

It was a shining moment for Bush, who had a few other fleeting moments of clarity while engaging Trump. My personal favorite was when Bush lambasted Trump for being a bully, namely after Trump ridiculed a reporter with physical disabilities. This last debate for the New Hampshire primary, likely the Bush campaign’s last as well, proved his potential as a candidate for president. Indeed, all the lackluster campaigns — perhaps because they have finally realized that they must no longer placate the Tea Party — have begun redeeming themselves in many ways. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is cruising for a sixth-place finish in his supposedly-strong state of New Hampshire, also came out swinging at the debate. Time and time again he hounded Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, now seen as the establishment’s likely choice. Christie brought attention to Rubio’s

inexperience and overdependence on trite talking points, goading him into repeating nearly the exact same phrase four times in a row. Even Ohio Gov. John Kasich, largely seen as the most centrist of the bunch, has been embracing his bipartisan identity of late. In New Hampshire, he has become unapologetic about his non-Republican support, attempting to spin it into an asset and a comparison to former President — and Republican patriarch — Ronald Reagan.

As a society, we laugh at someone like Jeb Bush, who makes guarded comments and measured promises. But we should really focus on Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who lies without limit and tests the limits of hyperbole at big rallies with tons of applause. This is the finest hour for those few establishment Republicans still kicking on a national stage: Bush, Christie and Kasich. Republicans and independents would be wise to not ignore them, no matter how pathetic. Horwitz is a government senior from Houston.

Stop wearing earbuds when walking to class By Jake Schmidt

Daily Texan Columnist @heyjakers

Earbuds and iPhones are as common as backpacks on campus sidewalks, but the modern student pedestrian is more an accessory to his smartphone than the other way around. Music and social media might help with the mundane walk to class, but plugging in for the stroll won’t add the pep to your step you might expect. Listening to music or using your phone while walking reduces your situational awareness — the ability to sense and react to your surroundings. The consequences range from embarrassing — a teenager fell into a sewer manhole while texting in New York City — to fatal: 4,735 pedestrians died in 2013 because they were distracted by

their phones. A study in Gait and Posture found that people miss nearly half of their visual field when engaged with their phone. The journal Accident Analysis and Prevention demonstrated that college students are more likely to be hit by traffic when listening to music or using a phone and that the number of phone-related pedestrian injuries has even eclipsed driving-related ones. “Phone zombies” also make great targets for pickpockets and criminals, according to Campus Safety magazine. When our senses are preoccupied with music and a screen, we have little room to process what’s happening to us and those in our vicinity. But our aversion to walking phone-free impacts more than just crime rates. “Those little devices in our pockets

WOMEN’S GOLF

Iowa State suspends Jameel McKay indefinitely for problems in practice

Women’s golf falls in second day in Florida

By Jacob Martella

Iowa State senior forward Jameel McKay has been suspended indefinitely but is expected to return in time for the Cyclones’ matchup against the Longhorns next Saturday.

@ViewFromTheBox

The Cyclones will be without senior forward Jameel McKay for a secondstraight game because of a suspension. Head coach Steve Prohm suspended McKay indefinitely Thursday, and McKay did not travel with the team to Oklahoma State on Saturday. According to the Des Moines Register, McKay was suspended for something that took place during practice. McKay is third in the Big 12 with nine rebounds per game and 16th in points scored with 12.4 points per game. Prohm said he believes McKay will be back for the Cyclones’ game against Texas on Saturday. College GameDay heads to Oklahoma on Saturday The Sooners won’t be the No. 1 team in the country when they face No. 6 Kansas on Saturday evening, but that won’t stop ESPN’s College GameDay from showing up at the Lloyd Noble Center that morning. ESPN announced this past Saturday that its college basketball preview show will broadcast live from Norman to preview the rematch of the triple overtime game the teams played on Jan. 4 in Lawrence where Kansas pulled out a 109-106 win. It’s the second time in three weeks that a Big 12 team has hosted College GameDay. The show took place in Lawrence on Jan. 30 before Kansas faced Kentucky.

Hield’s late 3-pointer sinks Longhorns

SIDELINE NCAA MEN (13) LOUISVILLE

By Akshay Mirchandani @amirchandani41

The newly ranked Longhorns were doing everything right. No. 24 Texas had No. 3 Oklahoma on the ropes all night in Norman and had OU’s star senior guard Buddy Hield under lock and key for the first half. But Hield, a Naismith Award contender, needed only a few moments of magic to suck the life out of the Longhorns. With the game tied at 60-60, Hield got the ball behind the 3-point line, stepped back and sunk the shot he’s made so many times this season with two seconds left. Texas never even got off a shot on its ensuing position, losing to Oklahoma, 63-60, on Monday night. The Longhorns held a 57-51 lead with 3:30 left, but Hield began his tear with a 3-pointer. Immediately after, he drove to the lane for an easy bucket. Hield then got to the line four times in the final two minutes and ended up scoring the final 12 points for Oklahoma. But for the first half, Texas played Hield as well as they possibly could have. The Longhorns held Hield to six first-half points. Junior guard Kendal Yancy, meanwhile, helped Texas get off to a hot start on the offensive end of the court. Yancy came into Monday

Junior guard Isaiah Taylor’s team-leading 19 points were not enought to propel Texas to a road win over No. 3 Oklahoma.

not having made a 3-pointer since mid-January while undertaking the task of trying to contain Hield. But the junior had eight points in the opening minutes to help Texas begin the game on a 13-3 run. The Longhorns quickly stagnated and went nearly six minutes while scoring just one field goal midway through the first half. Yancy sparked the Longhorns

again and scored five quick points to help outscore Oklahoma 14-7 to end the first half, giving Texas a 31-22 lead at the break. He ended the first half with a career-high 13 points, six rebounds and a career-high three steals. But as the second half started, Hield and his backcourt mate senior Isaiah Cousins began to heat up, combining for 44 of

Oklahoma’s 63 points. Head coach Shaka Smart spoke highly of Oklahoma’s two guards on Saturday but said that Texas is lucky to have two reliable guards of its own in junior guard Isaiah Taylor and senior guard Javan Felix. Both tried to bring Texas back. Taylor was held to five points in the first half but ended the game with 19 and scored in the final

seven minutes. Felix, meanwhile, had seven of his nine points in the second half, but he and Taylor were simply unable to outduel Hield in the end. The loss snaps Texas’ fourgame winning streak and moves Texas to 4-3 against ranked opponents. Another ranked team awaits Texas on Saturday, when the Longhorns travel to Ames, Iowa, to play No. 14 Iowa State.

Senior Beau Hossler has tasted amateur success in the U.S. Open and won three of his last five tournaments but will not rest until he can add a National Championship to his resume.

Hossler seeking to end his collegiate career with title By Trenton Daeschner @TrentDaeschner

A young Beau Hossler found himself in the midst of history at the 2012 U.S. Open Golf Championship in San Francisco. Fresh off his junior year at Santa Margarita Catholic High School in Orange County, California, the 17-year-old Hossler burst onto the scene on the toughest stage in golf; he once held sole possession of first in the second round and ended the third round four shots off the lead. “I still want to be low amateur, but I also want to win the tournament,” Hossler told The New York Times after the round. Hossler finished tied for 29th after shooting a 6-over par 76 in the final round, falling two strokes short of finishing as the low amateur to a Texas freshman named Jordan Spieth. But the message was sent — Hossler had put the golf world on notice. More than three years later, Hossler continues to build on his success in his still very young career. The junior is coming off a year where he played in the U.S. Open and

The Walker Cup, won two collegiate tournaments, was an All-American and won Big 12 player of the year for the 2014–15 season. Still, Hossler was dissatisfied with his finish to the season. “I didn’t come close to achieving most of my goals, unfortunately,” Hossler said. “I played OK at the NCAAs, but I definitely underperformed at the Western and U.S. Amateurs, and that was pretty disappointing.” But the 2015–16 season started off much better for Hossler. He’s won three of his last five starts, including the Nike Golf Collegiate Invitational and Arizona Intercollegiate. Hossler said the win in the former helped relieve some of the pressure he puts on himself. “I hate losing,” Hossler said. “The feeling of winning, to me, it makes all of those crappy moments, hard work, time when you’re getting up early when you don’t want to — it makes it all worth it.” His swing coach, Adam Porzak — who began working with Hossler in late 2012 after his long-time, legendary swing coach, Jim Flick, passed away — said the way Hossler takes ownership of

his game has helped the junior reach this point. “It’s not necessarily the longest practice or the most golf balls hit — it’s just the quality of the ones that are hit,” Porzak said. “I can truly say that every time he holds a golf club, he generally has a purpose to what he’s doing.” Texas head coach John Fields said he knew Hossler could find this type of success. “His experience and his talent [indicate] that he’ll go a long way in golf,” Fields said. “My vision is that he goes on and has an incredible career on the PGA Tour.” Hossler will complete three-and-a-half years at Texas at the end of the semester. Hossler knows his time on the 40 Acres is running out. With the PGA Tour in his sight, there is much to look forward to in the future. But there is still unfinished business to complete during the time he has left as a Longhorn. “The number one goal is to win the national championship as a team and to win the national championship as an individual,” Hossler said. “I feel like my tenure at Texas would be incomplete unless we have a national championship.”

Boston Celtics shooting guard Avery Bradley had only one option when he was suddenly handed the basketball with two seconds remaining. Despite the clock quickly approaching zero, Bradley managed to set himself on the corner of the hardwood. The ball escaped his fingertips with less than a second to go. A second later, Bradley’s teammates rushed to midcourt to embrace him. Boston was trailing by two to the reigning Eastern Conference champion Cavaliers, but Bradley’s buzzer-beater allowed the streaking Celtics to win their eighth game in nine contests. Boston was down four with 8.5 seconds remaining in the game but managed to catch up after an Evan Turner layup and a Cavaliers turnover. On the last play, Jae Crowder inbounded the ball to Celtics All-Star Isaiah Thomas. Not able to find an open look at the basket, Thomas dumped the ball to Bradley in the corner. Bradley shifted toward the baseline and shot over the defending Iman Shumpert. He converted on his fourth 3-pointer of the game and possibly the most important shot of the Celtics season. “If you play this game, you should believe you’re going to win until the horn goes off,” Bradley said. The Celtics, one of the

With three months remaining, Bradley and those who once donned burnt orange and white have plenty of more chances to revel in the glory of scoring the gamewinning basket. —Avery Bradley, Shooting guard

NBA’s youngest teams with an average age of 24.5, have emerged as dark-horse contenders in the East. Bradley has been a key part of the Celtics’ 2016 emergence, averaging 15 points and 1.5 steals per game. The former Longhorn followed up his gamewinning shot with a 25point performance to beat the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. Former Texas Longhorns hitting game-winning 3-pointers has been a theme this season. Two nights before Bradley’s finish, Kevin Durant hit a long 3-pointer to lift the Oklahoma City Thunder over the Orlando Magic 117-114, and in late November, Toronto Raptors point guard Cory Joseph shot a three from the corner to defeat the Washington Wizards. Out of the eight former Longhorns in the NBA, three have already converted on late shots this season from beyond the arc to win. With three months remaining, Bradley and those who once donned burnt orange and white have plenty of more chances to revel in the glory of scoring the game-winning basket.

A man that can never admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he forgets and forsakes them he gets another chance

Artist reflects on 40 years on Drag Market By Elizabeth Hlavinka @ hlavinka_e

After falling asleep at the wheel, slamming his car into a bridge and having his body peeled out in critical condition, local artist Randy Eckels was lucky to be alive. Released from the hospital and wheelchair-bound, Eckels was taken in by three hometown friends, colloquially known as the “Oklahoma Mafia.” The group did not charge Eckels rent, instead paying him to cut, shape and craft jewelry. In 1976, the friends set up stands at the 23rd Street Artists’ Market, and Eckels has been selling necklaces,

earrings and belt buckles there since. Eckels said the customers and market vendors have developed a tight-knit community. A few days ago, a woman approached him wearing a ring she had purchased from him 25 years ago and hadn’t taken off since. Another couple returned to tell him they used his jewelry as wedding rings. “We love each other.” Eckels said. “We’re all talented and all a little bit eccentric — which is polite for crazy.” Before he moved to Austin, Eckels was an undergraduate at Oklahoma State University, where he was involved in illegal anti-war movements, dealing false identification cards to men avoiding the Vietnam draft. After narrowly escaping an encounter with the FBI, Eckels got a job in construction and in 1975 moved to

Austin, where he’s seen the market grow and decay for 40 years. “It has almost died,” Eckels said. “We have a big problem

with people doing drugs in the back. My heart goes out to the homeless people, but it scares our new artists, and they don’t come back.”

Now 64, Eckels said he doesn’t plan on retiring anytime soon and wants to revitalize the market to what it once was.

“That rocking chair will kill you,” Eckels said. “As long as I’ve got my fingers, I’ll be working until I drop.”

Austin hosts lineup of eclectic races By Cameron Osmond @CameronOsmond

With complex obstacles, mud and colored powder, several upcoming running events offer twists to enhance runners’ adrenaline and challenge their mental toughness. Although it may be too late to prepare for the Austin Marathon on Feb. 14, there is still time to train for these four unconventional races happening near Austin. Warrior Dash When: March 5 Where: 394 Pleasant Chapel Road, Cedar Creek, TX The Warrior Dash is for anyone inspired by the hit show “Ninja Warrior.” The 5K race is plotted with 12 obstacles, ranging from a towering, climbable wall to a 100-foot stretch of mud lined with barbed wire. Finishers are rewarded with a bottleopener shaped medal and a cold beer. Warrior Dash partnered with Saint Jude’s Research Hospital, giving participants the option to run and fundraise for a cause simultaneously. 5K RunDead Zombie Run When: March 12 Where: 1042 Event Center Drive, Dripping Springs, TX The people behind the RunDead Zombie race have a hunch — when runners realize a zombie hoard is

chasing them, they’ll probably run for their lives. RunDead Zombie participants can choose to be a runner or a “zombie.” Runners attempt to reach the finish line without having their flag ripped from their waist, while zombies try to grab as many flags as possible. Prizes are rewarded to top finishers on both sides. More like a game than a traditional race, RunDead Zombie ensures each runner is not only exercising, but also having a good time. All of the event’s proceeds benefit scientific research on cancer and Alzheimer’s. The Color Run When: May 7 Where: 7311 Decker Lane, Austin, TX Who wouldn’t want to run through a wall of powdered color? Color Run participants start with a pristine white shirt and finish every kilometer with a fresh coat of purple, yellow or blue

powdered cornstarch. The color spectacle acts as a distraction from the race, designed to make runners feel like they are partaking in a festival. After the race, runners gather near the finish line to enjoy booming music and cold beverages. Tough Mudder When: May 21–22 Where: 290 Old Lake Road, Smithville, TX Leave your clean, new sneakers at home for this race. The Tough Mudder is a 10–12-mile mud-covered course with 19 obstacles designed for the most serious adrenaline junkies. The obstacles are often demanding, with challenges such as the “Birth Canal,” a claustrophobic portion of the course in which runners are forced to crawl through mud with 100 pounds of sloshing water weighing on their back.

Isalia’s Tex-Mex restaurant serves traditional dishes such as the enchilada plate as well as a specialty dish, Isalia’s Especial. Isalia’s is located at 26th Street and Guadalupe Street.

Isalia’s offers quality Tex-Mex By Stephen Acevedo @stephenace24

Last December, fatherson duo Ezequiel and Gubiel Aviles brought Tex-Mex to the Drag. For students looking to satisfy their enchilada cravings between classes, Isalia’s offers authentic Tex-Mex to customers from their shop at 26th Street and Guadalupe Street. “Growing up, my parents were well-known by my friends and cousins for their great cooking,” Gubiel said. “Everyone always wanted to come over and eat their food, so I’ve always been interested in opening a restaurant to offer everyone my parents’ great food.” Isalia’s is easy to miss, located in a tiny building behind Fat Sal’s. Despite being hidden from plain sight, Isalia’s has a great atmosphere, offering customers two dining area options. The first is the main indoor dining room, charmingly decorated with various pieces of Mexican artwork, giving off the familiar, comforting vibe of a local taquería. For customers longing for a side of fresh air with their meal, Isalia’s also offers a sizable outdoor patio in the front. The menu, complimented by Isalia’s cozy ambiance, includes all the staples of a good TexMex restaurant plus some pleasant surprises. Ezequiel makes everything on Isalia’s menu from scratch daily, down to their fluffy flour tortillas. Ezekiel said he has worked as a cook at various restaurants for much of his adult life, so he brings a wealth of experience to Isalia’s kitchen.

“My dad pretty much does all the cooking on his own, and he certainly likes it that way,” Gubiel said. “He can actually be quite controlling in the kitchen.” While a major part of their menu is tacos, the chicken and beef fajita tacos, served with sautéed peppers and onions, don’t distinguish themselves from any other run-of-themill fajita tacos. The true highlights of Isalia’s taco selection are the al pastor and barbacoa tacos. The al pastor — or red-seasoned pork — is delectably greasy in all the right ways. The mixture of the seasoned grease and fat with the soft flour tortilla keeps the taco moist and flavorful without the need for additional salsa or toppings. The barbacoa, on the other hand, lacks the dish’s trademark grease but makes up for it with a smoky flavor from the barbecue pit, where it is smoked for approximately six hours every day. Served traditionally with cilantro and onion, this is easily the best taco on Isalia’s menu. In addition to tacos, Isalia’s takes pride in putting a spin on Tex-Mex enchiladas. With half a dozen to choose from, the two most notable are the enchiladas famosas and the cheese enchiladas. The enchiladas famosas are the most unique on the menu, filled with chicken fajita and topped with a poignant red chipotle sauce that gives them a flavor distinct from anything else on the menu. The cheese enchiladas were a pleasant surprise, straying from the predictable form of cheese-filled enchiladas topped with meat gravy. Instead, these

cheese-filled enchiladas are smothered in Isalia’s house chile con queso, making a classic dish different enough to still be exciting. Two dishes that completely break away from the rest of the menu are the stuffed avocado and Isalia’s Especial. The stuffed avocado is deep-fried and loaded to the brim with shredded chicken and cheese before being covered in more cheese and rich green suiza sauce. This plate takes the ambition just far enough without overwhelming the palate, although it will certainly leave customers struggling to walk home as a result of its heaviness. Isalia’s Especial, a personal favorite of server Rosemary Ochoa, stuffs a fried poblano pepper with chicken fajita meat and is covered with Monterey Jack cheese and tart tomatillo sauce. It has plenty of flavor but still leaves room to be enhanced by one of Isalia’s two house salsas for more of a kick. Isalia’s also offers impressive breakfast items. All of the classic breakfast tacos, including chorizo and egg, bacon and egg and migas, are enhanced with a generous serving of melted cheese. For less conventional Tex-Mex breakfast options, Isalia’s serves a hearty migas enchilada and some startlingly mouthwatering pancakes that could go head-to-head with Kerbey Lane’s any day of the week. “We’re just really happy to be serving food here in Austin,” said Gubiel. “I have always loved this city and wanted to give back, and what better way to serve Austin than with food?”
