FOOTBALL | 50-47
Texas triumphs over Notre Dame By Michael Shapiro @mshap2
Tyrone Swoopes didn’t start on Sunday, but he sure did finish. The senior quarterback dove into the endzone to give Texas a 50-47 upset over No. 10 Notre Dame in double overtime, bulldozing past Irish defenders on his way to victory. He arose from the turf mobbed by his teammates. Swoopes and head coach Charlie Strong celebrated with the Longhorns in the north endzone, reveling in the upset win. “So much can be said about Swoopes and just for him to be the person he is,” Strong said. “[I told him], ‘You’re going to have your chance. You’re going to have the opportunity.’” The game yielded eight lead changes, four ties and two overtimes in a back-andforth battle. Texas blew a 17-point lead and had an extra-point attempt ran back for two points. And that was all before overtime. But after four hours and nearly 100 points, Texas had its first victory of the year — one that Strong hopes will put Texas back on the map. “We needed to get this program back in the spotlight,” Strong said. “This is big for us to get it back.” Notre Dame quickly silenced a raucous crowd of 102,315 at Darrell K RoyalTexas Memorial Stadium, taking just six plays to get on the board. But the lead wouldn’t last. Texas’ offense was lightning fast under freshman quarterback Shane Buechele on its opening drive. They found the endzone in less than three minutes. Buechele looked calm and collected in his first start while

guiding the Longhorns’ frenetic attack. After an offseason filled with uncertainty at quarterback — Strong refused to name a starter until the team’s first drive — Texas looked to have its guy. “I didn’t even see a true freshman out there tonight,” junior running back D’Onta Foreman said. “I see a veteran quarterback. [Buechele] stood in the pocket, had some really good runs tonight and I’m proud of him.” Buechele and Swoopes both saw the field on Texas’ fourth drive, marching
Texas to a 14-7 lead. Buechele completed two passes to senior Jake Oliver and snuck into the endzone from one yard out. Texas had one more drive before halftime, where Buechele connected with wide receiver Jerrod Heard for 68 yards. Swoopes then punched it in from one yard out to give Texas a 21-14 lead. Offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert praised Heard for his transition to wide receiver after being third on the quarterback depth chart one month ago.
“It’s real encouraging,” Gilbert said. “[Heard] is a guy who can spread the field and really run fast. He was able to go out and make a couple of catches in his first game as a receiver.” The Longhorns looked to have all the momentum after scoring 10 points in the first six minutes of the third quarter. But a quick score and a costly pick changed the game in a flash. Buechele made his first mistake of the night upon taking the field with the Longhorns up 31-21, throwing an interception. Notre
Dame quickly answered with a touchdown to cut Texas’ lead to three. After a Texas three-and-out, the Fighting Irish regained the lead when quarterback DeShone Kizer tossed a 17-yard touchdown to sophomore running back Josh Adams in the fourth. Texas seemed to jump ahead on a 19-yard dash by Foreman with under 3:23 left. But up 37-35, the Longhorns’ special teams shot itself in the foot. Senior kicker Trent Domingue had his extra-point
attempt blocked, and the Irish scooped up the ball. Notre Dame dashed down into the opposite endzone, tying the game at 37. After the two teams swapped touchdowns in the first overtime, Texas held Notre Dame to a field goal in the second. Swoopes ended the game one series later, giving Texas the biggest win of Strong’s tenure. “I’m always ready,” Swoopes said. “I knew I was going to have my role. When I got my opportunity, I did it to the best of my ability.”

Glocks not Cocks blocks Cocks not Glocks
City Council adresses backlogged rape kits
By Zachary Caldwell @ZachCaldwell_
Supporters of Senate Bill 11, also known as campus carry, gathered Friday in front of the UT Tower to stage a counter-protest to last week’s “Cocks not Glocks” event. While the attendance was low, the rally was met with opposition by vocal anti-gun activists. The event, “Glocks not Cocks,” began with five campus carry supporters gathering around a black and white flag with the phrase “come and take it” beneath the image of a sniper rifle. They were later met by representatives from Betsy Riot, a gun protest group whose members refer to themselves as “Betsies.” A woman who identified herself as “Betsy Boobs,” a UT alumna, frequently shouted over campus carry advocates as they attempted to answer

questions from the press and passersby. The rally was organized on Facebook by UT alumna Haeli Mouré and Joanna
Rodriguez, a representative from Turning Point USA, a nonprofit aimed at educating students on conservative ideals. Mouré
said she organized this event because of the lack of conservative voices heard on campus.

Austin City Council members heard public testimony Thursday from PS 1.04 and PS 1.07 amendment supporters who want the 2016–17 budget to help reopen and staff the DNA testing lab that processes rape kits for the City of Austin. The Austin Police Department’s DNA lab closed in June. Currently, rape kits are being sent to the Department of Public Safety instead. The DPS lab only tests 20 kits per month, a rate which amendment supporters like members of the SAFE Alliance said would not keep up with new cases, much less deal with the 3,000 tests sitting in the backlog.

How do you think they feel when I reveal the truth? It will probably take at least two years, maybe more.” Marks pointed out that before the DNA lab closed in June, it was able to process about 40 rape kits every month. Marks said they’ve cared for 50 rape survivors in the last six days, according to the City Council transcript.

“I’m ashamed to tell an already traumatized person who came to us looking for assistance through this awful chapter of their life we realistically have no idea,” Marks said. Rape kits from sexual assaults on the UT campus are currently processed by the DPS lab as well, according to UTPD spokesperson Rhonda Weldon. A third-year UT student from Central Texas also spoke about her own sexual assault in Austin during the hearing. Her rape kit has been sitting in the backlog for one year and 22 days. She described her
love for the city and how welcomed she felt when she first moved to Austin. “I knew that I had found my home,” said the student, who The Daily Texan decided not to identify because she is a victim of sexual assault. “That was all taken from me in a single night a year ago. My sense of safety and security were ripped away from me as a man slammed my head against a parking garage wall and proceeded to rape me.” The student went on to explain how recovering from an assault is made more difficult by the knowledge that an attacker could still be free.
“We deserve our city back,” the student said. “We deserve to be able to cope with this trauma without the fear that our assaulter is still at large in our home.” She also said that it’s hard for her to attend class knowing that the man who assaulted her has been on campus. She said she’s had panic attacks on her trips to class, fearing she will run into her attacker. “Austin is a very supportive and beautiful community,” she said. “I think the community is showing you today that this is something we’re taking a stand on.” City councilman Greg
Casar, who represents District 4, originally introduced the amendments, which will provide $1.4 million to staff the lab with seven analysts and a supervisor and $500,000 to outsource 500 kits to other labs. He appeared to be moved by the testimony of one of the victims at the hearing. “We’re gonna find the money,” Casar said to the speaker. The City Council’s fiscal year begins Oct. 1, according to City Council documents. Budget readings will take place on Sept. 12–14, and any amendments will be adopted Sept. 22.

“As a former student here, I was kind of upset that [the Cocks not Glocks event was] how the whole University is being displayed,” Mouré said. The event involved the organizers discussing how guns can provide women with a means of self-defense, as well as proper handgun safety procedures. “Campus carry means that I can take night classes and feel more comfortable,” Rodriguez said. Mouré also voiced a desire for women to be able to secure their own physical safety without the aid of police. “There’s a lot of officers on campus,” Mouré said. “I would just prefer not to wait if an incident came up.” A small group of police officers was also present at the event. Terry McMahan, UTPD assistant chief of police, said there was no need for extraordinary security measures. “Like we would any protest, [we’re] just looking to make sure everyone’s safe,” McMahon said. As Rodriguez began to discuss crime statistics, “Betsy Boobs” told her to save her arguments for Facebook. Rodriguez said a more hands-on approach would be a better way to educate students on Campus Carry. “You can’t educate people on Facebook,” Rodriguez said. “Betsy Boobs” responded to Rodriguez’s comments with profranities at the National Rifle Association and other pro-gun organizations. “So much for a civil conversation,” Mouré said in response.

UT reports most rapes among Texas colleges By Katie Keenan @KeenanArroyo
Seventeen rapes were reported on campus in 2014, with 13 of the cases taking place in on-campus housing facilities, according to the most up-to-date data released by the U.S. Department of Education. With the number of reported rapes increasing in recent years, the data showed UT had the highest number of incidents on campus out of all Texas universities in 2014. University officials said the report doesn’t offer a complete picture of UT’s campus safety status. “It has to do with the culture of the University and whether it encourages reporting,” said J.B. Bird, director of media relations for the University. “Our approach at [UT] is to encourage people to report. We know we will have higher statistics, but we believe that [reporting] will make for a much better culture on campus.” SAFE Alliance communications director Derrick Crowe
said creating this kind of climate at a University is essential to solving the problem of sexual assault. Rather than placing the burden on those targeted in these crimes, he said the community should step up to the plate. “The onus is on the larger community to adopt a culture of prevention and of support for survivors who do come forward to report,” Crowe said. “The statistics show that very few survivors actually go on to report their assault to the authorities, often because they fear they will not be believed. That has to change.” Title IX coordinator LaToya Smith said big pushes have been made to make the reporting process more effective, which has led to the higher number of reported rape cases. “Over the years, our numbers have increased exponentially, but a big part of that is because we’ve created resources and structure to where it’s safe for them to do so,” Smith said. In 2015, University President
Greg Fenves allocated funds to hire six Title IX investigators as part of a team that handles student-on-student sexual assault, in addition to interpersonal violence, discrimination, harassment and stalking. “The institution is shifting to be more trauma-informed and trauma-centered,” Smith said. “That means academic policies, that means our resources on campus, that means even our social media campaigns.” Smith also spoke on programs the University is hoping will shed light on why sexual assault is happening on campus in the first place. One initiative that’s currently being developed involves multiple focus groups composed of survivors, students who have been through the reporting process and students who are members of vulnerable populations. Each group will be taken through a four-year program that aims to find problem spots on or near campus. “If out of that focus

group it says [assaults] are happeningwestofcampusatthis particular location or after this type of party, then that allows me to … collaborate with various groups or even [work] with that particular apartment complex,” Smith said. Smith said campaigns such
as Not On My Campus are essential to educating the student population on this issue, but she is aiming for more than awareness. Collaboration is key to combating this challenge together, she said. “The good thing about being a large institution is we
have a lot of energy and focus but … there’s so much going on that people don’t necessarily know what other people are doing,” Smith said. “I want to … bring all these initiatives together because we’re all fighting the same good fight.”

Professor featured for manual on trauma-informed policing By Wesley Story @wesleystory0
A UT professor was featured by the Chronicle of Higher Education on Aug. 30 for creating a manual on trauma-informed policing. Noël Busch-Armendariz, a professor in the School of Social Work and director of the Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, collaborated with her team and UT System police to create “The Blueprint for Campus Police: Responding to Sexual Assault,” a manual which provides officers guidance on how to better engage with survivors of sexual violence. The manual explains what happens psychologically during and after a traumatic event, outlining strategies law enforcement should use to interact with survivors. “The trauma of sexual assault crime really calls the police to operate differently and that science had to replace
tradition particularly in sexual assault crimes,” Busch-Armendariz said. “A lot of times victims blame themselves just like society blames them.” A UT student who is a sexual assault survivor said some survivors may not want to come forward because there is “always that thought of ‘It could have been my fault,’ even if there’s no way it was.” “There was no law enforcement involved with me, but if there had been, I would have wanted them to understand that this person they are trying to help just had every bit of control over themselves they thought they had taken from them,” said the student, who wishes to remain anonymous. Other than the police, there are a number of resources on campus for survivors. The Counseling and Mental Health Center provides individual counseling, group counseling and a 24/7 crisis line. Voices Against Violence is a CMHC organization that provides the
campus with tools to identify interpersonal violence, support survivors and build a campus that values healthy relationships and consent. “The most important thing you can do for a survivor is to believe them unconditionally,” said VAV Co-President Mia Goldstein, a radio-televisionfilm and Plan II sophomore. “Offer options and resources, but it should be made clear that everything is up to them and on their own terms.” Out of every 1,000 sexual assaults, 344 are reported to the police, according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization. Busch-Armendariz aims to address the reasons survivors don’t come forward with formal reporting by better equipping first responders to handle traumatic situations. “All of us belong to solving this issue because we’re part of this community,” Busch-Armendariz said.

The Darrell K Royal Research Fund for Alzheimer’s hosted a gala on Sept. 2 to honor the legacy of the late Coach and to present the 2016 DKR Fund grant winners. The DKR Fund grant is given out to people for coming up with innovative ways to cure Alzheimer’s. To receive the grant, they must be at the associate professor level at a Texas-based institution and within 12 years of completing their terminal degree. This year’s winners were Lenora J. Volk and Andreana Haley. “Grants like this take our projects off the ground,” Volk said. “I look forward to sharing our results over the next few years.” Several organization members were present, including founding Vice Chair Ben Crenshaw and board members Matthew McConaughey and Mike Myers, who made a special presentation to Royal’s widow, Edith, to honor her continued dedication to the organization. “I love Edith Royal,” DKR Fund board member Rita Hortenstine said. “She is bold and courageous, and her ability to talk about Royal and dedicate her time to finding a cure is astonishing.”

Matthew McConaughey, a board member of The Darrell K Royal Research Fund for Alzheimer’s, gave a speech at Friday’s 4th and Goal Gala.
Four years ago, the fund was founded by Darrell and Edith Royal in response to his Alzheimer’s diagnosis and to fund critical research that will bring about medical breakthroughs in the treatment and cure. “I’ve lived it and breathed it,” said Ava Late, a founding chair of the DKR Fund whose close family members have had the disease. “We need to find a cure.” Since its founding, the organization has had over 3,000 sponsors and has been able to give out grant money to 16 researchers, who dedicated their lives to finding a cure for cancer. DKR Fund has also had over $30,000 in donations to
give to the winners. “We can’t get enough money to these researchers,” said David Kazen, Darrell and Edith Royal’s grandson. “These are the people who are going to do the research and get to the bottom of this disease.” At the end of the gala, Crenshaw, Myers and McConaughey took the stage to talk about the work that Edith and they have done to help fight this deadly disease. They spoke about the impact the Royals have had on their road to beat Alzheimer’s. “They shared the greatest joys of life and some of the darkest,” McConaughey said. “But just the two as a team — always.”

Latino politics must extend beyond immigration By Alyssa Fernandez
Daily Texan Senior Columnist
From the presidential debates being aired on Univision to Clinton’s first Spanish-language ad, there is a more visible effort to attract Latino voters this election cycle than has previously been seen before. The Latino vote is playing a prominent role this election cycle and politicians such as Clinton are scrambling to attain it. While Clinton leads the polls among Latinos, her campaign’s approach towards this group is not effective in attracting long-term voters. Immigration has been in the spotlight this election cycle since the infamous Trump speech last summer. Even in Clinton’s Spanish-language ad, there are clips of Trump speaking about deporting 11 million immigrants alongside Latinos speaking about their own immigration
experience. Yet, this ad fails to go beyond what happens after immigration. Clinton’s focus on attracting Latino voters through immigration reform limits its reach by focusing on a narrow view of the Latino experience in the United States. Immigration is something that over half of Latinos haven’t personally experienced — of the 55 million Latinos in the country, 33 million are U.S. born. This does not mean that we are excluded from the struggles of immigration and attaining citizenship, since it can affect us within a family dynamic or even through friends, but it does not encompass our whole narrative. What is missing from this voter outreach is expanding the Latino experience to cover issues that pertain to problems U.S. born Latinos are more likely to face. Such as the high dropout rate or why Hispanics have the highest teen
COLUMN
pregnancy rate in the country. There are several reasons why Clinton, and by extension the Democratic party, are ignoring other Latino issues. In leaked DNC emails, former chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz states that “Hispanic brand loyalty is generational” and that they are “unforgiving” once this loyalty is lost. Aside from the email stereotyping Latinos, it reveals a strategy to how Democrats are approaching Latinos. They are capitalizing on Trump’s hateful language and using that as their platform to rally the Latino vote. This also justifies their sole focus on immigration through the belief that “Hispanics will always be loyal and influence the family.” In their logic, even if I haven’t personally experienced the struggle of immigration, my abuelos did. Because of familia and loyalty, what affects them affects me and I should rally behind that issue for no other reason than that.
The other, smaller reason why Democrats ignore other Latino issues is because they’re internal problems that are felt within the Latino community. The dropout and teen-pregnancy rate are issues that often begin and end with Latinos and do not venture outside of that. Yet, immigration is a larger issue that affects the majority group in the U.S., or more specifically, is “taking our jobs.” To put it bluntly, minority problems only become national issues when it affects the majority culture. In any case, if the Democrats want to achieve long term success and attract “brand loyal” voters, they have to take the time to understand what happens after we crossed the border and appeal to our own, unique American experience.

Kaepernick’s critics outdo his most reprehensible actions By Noah Horwitz
Daily Texan Senior Columnist @NmHorwitz
A couple weeks ago, I would have had nothing to say about Colin Kaepernick. He doesn’t play for the Texans, so my only impressions would have likely been negative. Of course, all that has changed now, with Kaepernick evoking controversy by making the choice to not stand during the national anthem before games. In the immediate aftermath of this brouhaha, I still did not really care. So what? An athlete makes a political statement. Tom Brady backs Donald Trump, for crying out loud. Why should this controversial stand be treated any differently? Kaepernick brought attention to one of the myriad of issues facing black individuals in this country. He pointed to the injustice perpetuated every time a police officer kills an unarmed black man and gets away without consequence. Eric Garner, Tamir Rice and so many others brought the issue, that of the Black Lives Matter movement, to the forefront of our national consciousness a couple years back. Kaepernick has reminded us. Now, in his shoes, would I have chosen to make the same choice, to not stand for the Star-Spangled Banner? Well, that’s not relevant, because I am not in his shoes. I am not black. And if I had a dollar for every self-important white person clamoring about how he should speak, or express his opinions or spend his money, well... you get the point. But perhaps what has been most disquieting about this entire controversy is the response to it. Jingoistic, faux-patriotic cacophony has
intruded once again into our national dialogue. Cue the chants of “Love it or leave it” and the bigots on the Breitbart comment section whispering about him being a Muslim or using assorted racial epithets. It reminds me of the blowback received by the Dixie Chicks when they criticized thenPresident George W. Bush. Or, perhaps most hyperbolically, Muhammad Ali’s opposition to the Vietnam War. America is not a country you have to leave if you do not love. That would be Russia. Perhaps even more offensively, the Santa Clara Police Union has threatened to abdicate their responsibility to provide security for games of the San Francisco 49ers, the team on which Kaepernick plays. It is the latest in a troubling trend of police threatening to abandon the communities they pledge to protect because of criticism. (Among the many cities shining as an example of light contrary to this trend is Dallas.) Kaepernick may not be a perfect messenger of his cause, but who among us is without our imperfections? As for those aforementioned self-important white critics of his who say he needs to put his money where his mouth is, they can eat crow. Kaepernick just announced a $1 million donation to community groups. And he has seen many allies in his fight, including the president of the United States, who backed his exercise of constitutional rights. I never thought I would care about an issue so seemingly minor and trivial, but the response to it has been too offensive, to the man in particular and our civic institutions and culture in general, to ignore. Horwitz is a first year law student from Houston.
On Aug. 22, the hate group White Lives Matter stood outside of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s office in Houston with demands that they denounce the Black Lives Matter movement. They carried confederate flags, assault rifles and whitesupremacist signs, including one that said “14 words” which references the slogan, “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” Police eventually broke up the protest later in the afternoon. This WLM group is just the one of many that have sprouted up over the last few years in reaction to the BLM protests against police violence. WLM was recently labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, who tracks extremist and hate groups across the country. For many, this did not come as a shock; their overt racism and use of violent language against minorities makes them well-deserving of this label. However, some in the U.S. have been calling BLM a hate group, urging the SPLC to give them the same labeling. But they have refused. So what makes WLM different than the group BLM? There is only a one word difference between their names, but there are 100 years between their ideologies. It all lies in the motives of these groups. For BLM, the movement centers around justice and equality between the races and an end to racial violence in the U.S.. WLM focuses on the superiority of the white and incites violence against many minority groups in the U.S. including black individuals, Muslims and Hispanics with the goal of preservation of the white race. Many leaders
of the WLM groups have ties to other white supremacy groups in America, such as Rebecca Barnette, the leader of the Tennessee WLM, who is involved in the Aryan Strikeforce and the National Socialist Movement, the largest neo-Nazi group in America. Many cite the shooting in Dallas back in July that occurred during a BLM rally and resulted in the death of five police officers as reasoning behind the claims that BLM is a hate group that wants to harm white police officers. However, this incident did not reflect the attitudes and wants of the participants in the rally. Instead, it combated the overall positive mood of the night between police and the protestors. The pushback against BLM and calling it an anti-white organization comes from a lack of understanding of the group’s message. Many are against them because they believe that BLM is anti-white and anti-police. However, this is simply not true and has never been a part of their message. They are not against the police; they are against police violence. It’s always been about justice and equality in the eyes of the law, which is something that as a society, everyone could benefit from. There needs to be an elimination of the idea that because black lives matter, white lives do not — it’s an “also” not a “more.” It’s this building of walls and division that prevents peace and compromise between both sides of the issue. We all need to try to better understand one another and our different struggles, then help one another in alleviating them — and only then will true progress be achieved.

Texas finds different path to anti-Muslim prejudice than ‘burkini’ ban By Emma Berdanier
Daily Texan Guest Columnist @eberdanier
Just over a week ago France’s highest court overruled the ludicrous Burkini ban that degraded not only women but also an entire culture. The ruling was viewed as a triumph by international liberal groups and Muslims alike. Except it wasn’t. More than 20 mayors of coastal towns that originally implemented the bans before the law was overturned have refused to comply with the ruling. It’s about keeping France secular, they say, though it’s clear that an underlying tone of fear following the Nice attacks stains this law. How France will address these towns is yet to
be determined. But given their past history with and the continued presence of anti-Muslim sentiments and fears in their cities, it won’t be good. “Any kind of phobia stems from a lack of understanding,” said Mahmoud Al-Batal, Arabic professor and director of the Arabic Flagship Program. “Our fear of Islam stems from our lack of understanding. There is no one Islam, just like there is no one Christianity. But we tend to think of Islam in a very monolithic term.” If this fear is a problem of understanding, then the best solution is to educate. And Texas seems to be the perfect place to implement that education: the second-most prevalent religion in Texas, behind Christianity, is Islam, according to the 2010 US Census on religion.
LEGALESE | Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the UT administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Media Board of Operating Trustees.
However, anti-Muslim sentiments at UT seem to pale in comparison to those across the rest of the state. The only instance Al-Batal could recall was when a student of his was “verbally assaulted by a bystander because she wears the hijab.” But even recognizing how wrong this event was, he noted, “Because we are on a university campus, it is limited. It is not what you see in the real world outside university campuses.” If UT is doing such a great job, then why try to enforce any sort of education at all? Why not let a good thing lie? Because doing so is dangerous. In the United States, as with the rest of the world, there is hate that lingers beneath the surface towards any sort of “other” we can’t identify with, any sort of “oth-

er” person who is different enough to provoke fear in us. And although prejudice against Muslims may be limited on a university campus, once students leave those campuses they enter a world where that hate is all too real, a world where they have to be prepared to deal with it and not fall into practicing it. It is UT’s duty to have more educational outreach about Islam to all of its students, not just those enrolled in classes pertaining to it. Because UT is creating the next lawmakers, the next mayors, the next lawyers, who could all determine whether America follows in France’s legal footsteps, they must actively address these fears.

Buechele evokes Texas legend in debut
Longhorn teams secure wins at SFA invitational
By Tyler Horka @TexasTy95
Tyrone Swoopes will find himself on a lot of highlight reels after Texas’ upset win over No. 10 Notre Dame on Sunday night. The senior quarterback scored three rushing touchdowns on the night, with the final one being the finishing play of the thrilling victory — a moment for Texas fans to remember. But the burnt orange-clad crowd fixed its eyes on a different quarterback for most of the season opener. Freshman Shane Buechele led the Texas offense onto the field for its first possession against the Irish. He’s the first true freshman quarterback to start for the Longhorns since Bobby Layne in 1944. Texas hasn’t had a quarterback start in every game from freshman year through senior year since Colt McCoy — who was a redshirt freshman — from 2006–09. Both Layne’s and McCoy’s numbers are retired. “I still have a little adrenaline,” Buechele said. “I haven’t really thought about the whole thing, I’ve kind of just been running around, but it was definitely a lot of fun being able to go out there and play.” And it appears the freshman will play for a long time on the 40 Acres. Though he still has over 50 games to play and 44 to win before he matches McCoy’s legendary numbers at Texas, he’s off to a good start. He finished the game with 16 completions for 280 yards and two

Texas freshman quarterback Shane Buechele gets ready to throw a pass against Notre Dame on Sunday. He became the first true freshman quarterback to start for the team since Bobby Layne in 1944.
touchdowns through the air, along with a touchdown on the ground. Buechele started his collegiate career with an 11-play, 75-yard drive that culminated with his first touchdown pass. He found junior receiver Armanti Foreman on a 19yard strike that sent 102,315 people into a frenzy. “Sometimes there’s a player that comes through that’s a special player,” head coach Charlie Strong said. “And [Buechele’s] one of those players.” But the freshman’s debut didn’t come without growing pains.
Buechele tossed a costly interception late in the third quarter, and Notre Dame capitalized with a touchdown — pulling within three points of Texas after being down by 17. However, Buechele later made up for his mistake while leading Texas on an nine-play, 68-yard drive to tie the game with under six minutes left. Buechele will also remind Longhorn fans of McCoy’s humility. The latter was never shy to credit others for helping him obtain one of his record-setting 45 wins at Texas. And Buechele was
quick to thank a fellow quarterback after his first victory. “[Tyrone’s] a great guy, and he’s a great quarterback,” Buechele said of Swoopes. “We couldn’t win the game without [Tyrone].” Swoopes entered the contest for the first time on Texas’ fourth possession of the game. He set the tone for the Longhorns’ rushing attack, amassing 30 yards on five carries as Texas went on to score and take its first lead, 14-7. But it was Buechele who scored with a one-yard quarterback sneak on that drive. And it’s Buechele who
will set up many more drives for Texas this season as the team’s primary quarterback. Sophomore linebacker Malik Jefferson said he wasn’t surprised about Buechele’s performance and raved about the quarterback’s upside. If Jefferson is right, Buechele may be on his way to a path similar to McCoy’s. “I knew that kid has a lot of talent,” Jefferson said. “He still has a lot more potential. I’m very proud of him. He stepped up to the plate. He did a lot better than I did last year, because he impacted this whole team.”

Longhorns sweep Army, Miami over weekend By Leah Vann and Steve Helwick @thedailytexan
No. 3 Texas is starting to find its identity. After getting swept by No. 1 Nebraska on opening weekend, the Longhorns (5-1) regained their form this weekend in the American Campus Classic while sweeping three of four opponents — including both Army and Miami. “I think we’re really starting to gel,” sophomore outside hitter Yaasmeen Bedart-Ghani said. “We’ve just been coming together more and more.” Coming off back-to-back home wins over Lipscomb and UTSA on Thursday, the Longhorns started their weekend with a 3-0 victory over the Black Knights (2-4) at Gregory Gym on Friday. Texas exhibited sound fundamentals throughout the contest. The Longhorn
defense — which tallied 49 digs — found a rhythm through senior setter Chloe Collins, who consistently set the team up for points. She totaled 40 assists in the win. “Chloe’s been putting up some really good balls for me,” Bedart-Ghani said. “I’ve been able to drive to it and make contact.” Texas’ outside hitters also dominated net play throughout the match. Bedart-Ghani, freshman Micaya White and senior Paulina Prieto Cerame — all above six feet tall — combined for 39 kills. “We’ve got arguably the best pins in the country,” head coach Jerritt Elliott said. “We can be overwhelming because we can play high. We’ve got great arms, and we’ve got great range.” Texas followed suit with a sweep over Miami (3-3) on Saturday. The Longhorns got off to a rough start in the match,

committing eight service errors early in the first set. But senior Prieto Cerame jump-started the winning effort with four kills in the middle of the game. The team fended off the Hurricanes again in the second set before dominating the third set, 25-10. Texas showed off its accuracy in the win, recording 50 kills on 89 swings. The outside
hitters once again controlled the contest, with White, junior Ebony Nwanebu and Prieto Cerame combining for 37 kills. Prieto Cerame said the Nebraska loss helped prepare Texas for the four-game weekend. She emphasized how the early season defeat helped them work out kinks. “I think Nebraska was a good wake-up call,” Prieto
Cerame said. “I’ve been trying to work with the seniors and the rest of the team and just try to find the right identity and see what it is we need to fix to get better.” Texas returns to the court Friday in Fort Collins, Colorado, for the Rams Volleyball Classic. The Longhorns take on Colorado State on Friday at 8 p.m. and Wichita State on Saturday at 1 p.m..
Texas made a statement in its first competition of the season at the SFA Lumberjack Pre-Conference Meet on Friday. Each group earned team wins with sophomores Pedro Nasta and Alex Cruz leading the way for the men and women, respectively, with first-place finishes. Six Longhorn men and four women finished their races in the top 10. “Both teams opened up with some positive things,” cross country coach Brad Herbster said. “With individual and team wins, both groups were able to pack it up well.” The meet took place on a two-kilometer loop track at Pecan Acres Park in Nacogdoches, Texas. The women kicked off the competition with a two-mile run, and the men’s three-mile race followed. Young talent filled Texas’ roster. Seven of the fourteen Longhorns who competed are freshmen — five for the women and two for the men. But if there were any firstrace jitters, the athletes didn’t show it once the gun fired. Redshirt freshman Jordan Welborn led the young Texas women to a No. 5 finish and freshmen Spencer Dodds and John Rice crossed second and fourth, respectively, on the men’s side. “Jordan competed well, and the freshmen helped close out the team victory for the women,” Herbster said. “The men grouped it up early and controlled the race from the gun. Having two freshmen and two sophomores in the top four speaks volumes for the future.” Texas will host its next competition, the Texas Invitational, on Sept. 16 at the Hancock Golf Course. Both teams will look to build on the momentum gained from their impressive first outings. “This first race is always an icebreaker for us,” Herbster said. “We’re kind of wiping the rust off and seeing what they can do. I’m thrilled for the season. Making a statement with these guys will be a fun challenge.”

Texas loses in controversial shutout against Golden Bears By Trenton Daeschner @TrentonDaeschner
Texas (3-2) was shocked. All 11 Longhorns on the pitch stood befuddled in their box. Sophomore midfielder Katie Glenn had fouled California midfielder Emma Fletcher 20 yards out in front of the goal in the 68th minute, resulting in a free kick for the No. 19 Golden Bears (4-1). But before Texas got lined up to defend the free kick, California forward Ifeoma Onumonu restarted play quickly and fired a shot into the net. Longhorn players and coaches appeared to question the officials over whether or not play should’ve been halted. But the goal proved to be the decider in
the Golden Bears’ 1–0 win over the Longhorns, who had won three straight games coming into the matchup. “I think that’s a great learning experience,” head coach Angela Kelly said. “We’re definitely going to teach off of that. Cal’s a good team. They created an opportunity, and we’re going to make sure that a situation like that doesn’t happen again.” The Longhorns refused to make any excuses or place blame on the officials after the match. “It’s a quick restart, but that’s just something we need to be on our toes for,” senior midfielder Julia Dyche said. The Golden Bears took control of the match early, pushing the ball downfield without resistance. Texas’ defense was
on its heels for most of the opening 15 minutes, and at one point, Kelly stood on the sideline waving her arms in a downward motion, signaling to her team to settle down. “I think after the first 15 minutes we really came alive and really got them on their heels and had them chasing us,” Dyche said. “I think that’s what we want to have from the very first whistle.” The Longhorns eventually settled down and started to put together a few offensive series. One of Texas’ closest scoring chances came in the first half when freshman defender Emma Jett sent a cross into the box from the left wing near the end line. After a few deflections, the ball landed near the feet of sophomore forward
Alexa Adams, right next to the goal. But the play caught Adams by surprise, and she sent a shot wide of the post. California kept pressuring and set the pace again in the second half. Every time it appeared the Golden Bears would break through, Texas senior goalkeeper Paige Brown was there to make the stop. Brown, who transferred from Louisville in the offseason, made the second start of her career and finished the day with six saves. “I feel definitely more connected now in the second game with the back line and the team,” Brown said. “They know what I’m going to do, and we know what we’re going to do with one another.” Still, Brown’s goaltending

and a number of Longhorn offensive pushes weren’t enough to steal a win from the Golden Bears. Texas will be on the road next weekend for the first
time this season as they look to bounce back from Sunday’s defeat. The Longhorns face Ohio State on Friday at 4 p.m. and Miami University on Sunday at noon.

Anderson, UT’s carillon player, died on Aug. 18 at age 93 due to complications from Parkinson’s disease, according to the Austin American-Statesman. Anderson first set foot on campus as a freshman in 1939, but left to serve in the Navy during World War II, only to return to the 40 Acres again in 1950. He took over the carillon from his brother David in 1952 and played until 1956. In 1967, UT’s former president Harry Ransom invited him to return to the carillon, and he continued to play until 2013, when a decline in his health forced him to abandon the bells for good. The Knicker Carillon is the largest in Texas, with 56 bells ranging from 20 to 7,350 pounds. The instrument is played by striking one’s fist down upon a series of keys and pedals. “It’s a wonderful instrument,” Anderson told The Daily Texan in 2011. “It’s a beautiful sound, and I just love it.” Anderson often played “The Eyes of Texas” before football games, “Happy Birthday” upon students’ request and Christmas carols during the holidays — and April Fool’s Day. When four students were shot and killed at Kent State University in 1970, Anderson played “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” “Walking In A Winter

Wonderland” rang from the Tower on smoldering summer days. Chopin’s “Funeral March” hung in the air each year on the first day of finals. Anderson told The Daily Texan in 2011 that he became partial toward international students after working in the International Office in 1966. He kept a list of the national days of various countries and often played them from the Tower. Donna Bellinghausen, the associate vice president for student affairs, said he
played “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head” when it rained or when the city was wishing for it. Bellinghausen also said Anderson had an enormous collection of sheet music, which spilled out from filing cabinets in his office. He left his collection for other carillon players when he left the University. “He had a great sense of humor,” Bellinghausen said. “I enjoyed being around him because he always had a story to tell and was just

a real joy to be around. He was a dear man, and he will be missed.” UT alumnus Austin Ferguson met Anderson as an undergraduate in 2011 while in a carillon practice room. From there, a longstanding friendship formed. To Ferguson, Anderson was the nicest person he had ever known. He was a legend, a UT encyclopedia, overflowing with 60 years of stories. Ferguson said he thinks Anderson’s favorite part of the job was interacting
with students. “[He was] somebody who enjoyed his role as a teacher as much as a performer,” Ferguson said. “There was a special glint in his eye when he was teaching and instructing students. He told everybody at one point that getting to spread the bells was the best part about his job.” Beyond his love and dedication to the carillon and the larger UT community, Ferguson said Anderson’s true defining quality was his “wicked” sense of humor.
“He made everybody laugh and [had a] jovial attitude,” Ferguson said. “If anything, I think that’s the way he would want to be remembered.” According to the Austin American-Statesman, he is survived by his brother, Kenneth; daughter, Jean; two sons, James and Eric; two granddaughters and one great-grandson. Anderson’s memorial service will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 18 at First Baptist Church at 901 Trinity St.

Johnny Harvey, a die-hard Texas football fan, tailgates all day Sunday in his self-made trailer. He welcomes all fans and friends to join him for some shade and beer.
UT megafan hosts next-level tailgate for every home game By Mae Hamilton thedailytexan
freshman Shania Barretto’s mother died from cancer, Barretto wanted to remember her in an artistic way. Her mother was a designer and tailor, so Barretto memorialized her mother’s commitment to the thread. “It’s my mom’s name in my dad’s handwriting,” Baretto said. “That was her tag. My dad made it for her. I put it on my back because that’s where your tag is on clothes and also because she made me. Family is really important to me.”

It was pitch black when Johnny Harvey pulled up to the 40 Acres in his pickup truck, towing a $20,000 Longhorn tailgating trailer. UT hadn’t hosted Notre Dame in 10 years, and Harvey and his crew arrived on campus at 6:30 a.m. to secure their ideal spot. Despite their best efforts, someone beat them to it. But that’s how the game is played.

Five years ago, Harvey bought a bare-bones trailer and tricked it out to include a fully equipped kitchen, complete with a keg and LED lights. A flat-screen TV rests inside a custom-made shelf, and Longhorn-patterned carpet lines the trailer’s exterior. After being denied his preferred spot Sunday morning, Harvey parked in a quiet, lowkey parking lot off of Red River Street. In the dark, he started setting up camp with his tailgating partner. Just as they had for every home game last season — and the four before that — they unloaded three tents, set up several lawn chairs and plugged in the Crock-Pot. “Then we start drinking beer,” he said. Around noon, he’ll cook up a

pot of chili. For dinner, ribs are on the menu. Sometimes, stragglers will wander over and ask for a tour. Harvey is happy to oblige. Anyone is welcome at his tailgate — Longhorns and Notre Dame fans alike. Harvey didn’t graduate from UT, but he moved to Austin in the ’80s and has been a Longhorn fan ever since. He makes it out to every single home game, trailer and all. Sometimes his vantage point is from the stadium, other times he’ll stick around and watch the game on the trailer’s flat screen with 10 of his closest friends. “It’s about the whole camaraderie — hanging out with friends and drinking and high spirits,” he said.
