TEXAS

(5 - 1)

Texas prevails as teams combine for most points ever in series. loods of Oklahoma fans emerged from their seats and headed for the exits as Texas took a commanding 21-point lead over the Sooners.

But what those fans would soon miss was an electrifying fourth quarter that marked an instant classic in a 118-year-long rivalry.

After a defensive catastrophe in which the Sooners scored three touchdowns in less than five minutes, Sam Ehlinger and the Texas offense would respond in the final moments by setting up freshman kicker Cameron Dicker for a game-winning 40-yard field goal that gave the Longhorns a 48-45 win over Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday.

“The last play of the game, when we were in our victory formation with like three seconds left, I was literally in the back just shaking,” safety Brandon Jones said after the game. “Like, I was just so excited.

When I saw the four zeros, I just felt like I wanted to cry.”

What looked to be a runaway affair for Texas early in the fourth quarter quickly became the most memorable matchup between the two in recent years as Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray almost single-handedly thrust the Sooners back into the competition.

First, it was a 19-yard touchdown catch

by OU wide receiver Lee Morris, then a 67-yard scamper into the end zone by Murray and finally, a 7-yard touchdown run by running back Trey Sermon. Before the 92,300 fans in attendance could even blink, Oklahoma was right back in a position to secure what would’ve been a sixth-straight win this season.

The Texas defense, which has been regarded as the Longhorns’ greatest asset since Tom Herman took the reins as head coach, suddenly had no answer for Heisman-favorite Kyler Murray.

This time, it was up to the offensive unit to win the game. Ehlinger and the rest of the Texas offense jogged onto the field with a chance to lead Texas to its fifth victory in a row.

“Before we were coming off the field, our linemen were like ‘We’ve got y’all’s backs, man, We’re fixing to take it down the field, drive it down the field,’” senior defensive tackle Chris Nelson said. “So, we just look in those guys eyes like, ‘Yeah, they’re about to go do it.’”

Just as he has done in recent weeks, Ehlinger exuded veteran confidence in the pocket throughout the entire game. He tallied 314 yards and two touchdowns in the passing game and paired it with another

‘Girasol’ launched to support immigrants seeking asylum

By Gracie Awalt @gracieawalt5

Women and children awaiting the outcome of their immigration status are not allowed to hug each other at the T. Don Hutto Residential Center in Taylor, Texas. Often, these women and children stay for months in detention seeking asylum from their home countries.

The Texas Institute of Child & Family Wellbeing, a research unit within the Steve Hicks School of Social Work, launched the Girasol program this semester to help Texas immigrant children and

families heal from trauma through support, education and connection.

The Girasol program supports immigrants by sending social work students in the Social Work Detention Response Team with law students from UT’s School of Law Immigration Clinic to work together to help immigrants through the complex asylum process.

“We drive two and half hours to the detention center in Karnes, Texas, and inside the centers you have to pass through a metal detector and security so not just anyone can walk in,” said Ana Hernandez, program and research coordinator of Girasol. “It feels like a prison and there’s kids as young as three years

old in detention.”

Texas has several immigrant detention centers, which house immigrants seeking asylum in the U.S. until they pass a credible fear interview. The interviewer asks questions about traumatic experiences to determine if they have enough fear to claim U.S. asylum, said Denise Gilman, director of the UT Law Immigration Clinic.

With the guidance of social work and law advisers, students counsel immigrants through the credible fear interview process.

“You’re going through a legal process that forces you to relive some of the worst moments of your life in order to prove that you have enough fear to be

released to seek asylum,” Hernandez said. “Someone who has experienced trauma is often re-traumatized through having to recount the story in the interview several times over.”

Gilman said interview preparation is essential for immigrants who often have little understanding of the legal standards they have to meet to seek asylum.

Gilman said the legal definition of “credible fear” is constantly changing.

“Again and again you meet with women who don’t realize how important it is to explain that they’ve been raped,” Gilman said. “They might not bring that out

CMA cools off after air conditioning unit fails

By Savana Dunning @savanaish

A loud boom sounded in Building A of the Jesse H. Jones Communication Center, known as the CMA, on Thursday, Sept. 27. The blades on the cool air fan of the CMA’s air conditioning unit had dislodged, becoming damaged and unusable.

Without a working fan, all nine stories of the more than 111,000-squarefoot building would have gone without air conditioning for four months while the part is repaired. However, on Sept.

30 students received an email saying classes would be held the next day, thanks to a campus-wide facilities effort to solve the problem.

CMA building manager Herb Woerndell said the CMA was cool enough to maintain a safe

temperature on Sept. 28, but they needed a solution for classes to continue the following Monday.

“We have over 1,000 students in this building and at least 200 faculty and staff in that building,” Woerndell said. “There was no way we could adequately move that many classes with that many students in that short period of time, so it was very important that we maintained cooling to have classes on Monday.”

On Sept. 28, UT’s Zone 2 engineers removed the 6-foot tall damaged fan and started working on a solution. Although the air conditioner’s cooling capabilities were still functional, there was no way to move the air without a fan. The engineers re-routed the air conditioning system so air flow would still be cooled by the air conditioning unit, but moved through the adjacent heater fan.

As the spot coolers were being rolled in, the team also found two large portable air conditioning units at Sid Richardson Hall which were just finished being used. Through negotiations with facilities staff at Sid Richardson Hall and Parking and Transportation, the team was able to get the two units set up in the parking garage underneath the CMA. By Oct. 1, the new portable units were hooked up and the CMA’s heating unit was reconfigured to its normal position.

“I am extremely grateful for the excellent work performed by UT’s facilities professionals to help us avert a crisis in Moody College when our air conditioning unit failed,” said Jay Bernhardt, dean of the Moody College of Communication, in a statement. “I also thank our outstanding faculty, staff and students for their patience while a permanent repair is being made.”

“We were taking advantage of the fact that we still had an operational fan,” maintenance engineer Brian Stokes said. “Normally that fan would pull air across the heating coils and through the heating duct, but we just re-routed that air and blocked off the heating coils to force the air in the path we wanted it to go.”

Meanwhile, facilities staff from UT’s Zone 4 started rolling 25 portable spot coolers, large air conditioning boxes with extending tubes that blow cold air, into classrooms and server rooms to prevent computers from overheating.

“We got (coolers) over here immediately because our temporary fix was going to be good enough to keep the place cool, but we were still lacking the proper airflow,” Stokes said. “Those were to get more circulation into the rooms and provide more cooling.”

City orders food vendors to eliminate food waste

By Jackson Barton @Jackson_Brton

As part of their plan to reduce waste sent to landfills by 90 percent by 2040, Austin Resource Recovery wants every food serving establishment to eliminate food waste from the trash.

The latest phase of the Austin Resource Recovery Master Plan went into effect Oct. 1 and requires businesses with a food license to divert all organic waste from landfills back into the community or the compost bin. Businesses must report plans for keeping organic waste out of garbage bins to the Austin Resource Recovery by Feb. 1, Austin Resource Recovery spokesperson Susanne Harm said.

The ordinance will not directly impact food vendors on campus since UT is a state entity. However, UT Sustainability Director Jim Walker said the new ordinance could foster new businesses focused on composting, which would in turn benefit UT’s composting system by offering more convenient solutions.

“Our waste footprint isn’t big enough by itself to have vendors change the way they operate just to handle our recycling and compost,” Walker said. “So when the city makes big goals like that, it starts to make more economic sense. We get to benefit f rom that.”

The ordinance suggests businesses

donate extra food to feed people, send food scraps to animal farms or create composting plans, according to a press release.

According to the Master Plan, organic material makes up 47 percent of material disposed in landfills. Harm said Austin’s Universal Recycling Ordinance also requires businesses to train employees on how to keep food out of the trash.

Every restaurant in West Campus will be affected by the ordinance. Some businesses such as Kerbey Lane Cafe already practice keeping organic waste out of landfills.

“Anything we can compost, we will compost, even the brown paper towels we use to dry our hands,” said Natalie Hinze, Kerbey Lane Cafe training coordinator.

Although the local breakfast joint does not have a formal staff composting system, which the new ordinance requires, Hinze said composting is brought up in interviews and during orientation.

“It’s a conscious decision that every team member has to make,” Hinze said. “It’s about getting the whole team behind it, and getting the whole team to believe in this composting.”

Walker said raising awareness of people’s own actions is just as important as putting sustainability programs in place.

“No matter how good the system is, if people don’t take a moment to think about their own actions, it doesn’t work,” Walker said.

UT alumnus Chip Roy, the Republican nominee to succeed Rep. Lamar Smith in Congressional District 21, said he is drawing on his past experience and desire to fix a broken system to win his race.

Having served previously as chief of staff to Sen. Ted Cruz and as a senior adviser to former Gov. Rick Perry, Roy said he knows exactly what is broken in Washington and is committed to fixing it.

“I’ve worked in the bowels of ‘the swamp’ if you will,” Roy said. “What’s broken is the extent to which the representatives that we send to Washington are not actually working for us. They’re not working towards the ends that the people want … they’re governing by crisis, or by response to a particular issue that’s been raised, instead of taking a step back and saying, ‘What do the people want you to do?’”

Working for big names in Texas politics taught Roy how to run a campaign that is in touch with the emotions of voters, he said. “(Former) Governor Perry has a strong gift at connecting with constituents,” Roy said. “I learned a lot from him about how you stop, listen, pay attention and really engage with people in the district and learn from them.”

While a student at the UT School of Law in the early 2000s, Roy worked on the original campaign for Sen. John Cornyn. His work on the campaign coincided with the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, which he said further influenced him to pursue a career in public service.

“I was in law school when Sept. 11 happened,” Roy said. “I will always

remember that moment, crystalized in my head. That had a lot to do with my commitment to public service.”

Roy’s experience in government has proved to be a draw for voters like Saurabh Sharma, the chairman of UT’s chapter of the Young Conservatives of Texas.

“Chip Roy, as chief of staff to Sen. Ted Cruz, learned how Congress works in and out, and knows how to leverage the institution to benefit conservatives,” biochemistry senior Sharma said. “The know-how that Chip has to be a real mover and shaker in congress, as opposed to just another good vote, is why I walked through a pair of shoes for him in the primary.”

District 21 has been a reliably Republican seat since 1986, but University Democrats communications director Kathleen Doviken said she thinks Roy’s Democratic rival, Joseph Kopser, has a chance to win.

“This is a district that definitely leans Republican,” French senior Doviken said. “I think Kopser has some opportunity to turn some of the more moderate right-leaning people towards his side.”

Regardless of political persuasion, Roy said he would like to see students get more involved.

“I think it’s absolutely important for young people to engage in politics,” Roy said. “It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to work for Capitol Hill or work in the lege … choose a candidate or candidates to get behind, and learn more. I’ve got people working for my campaign who, when they were in college, were volunteering on Democrat campaigns.

Then they learned more about the positions and didn’t really like what they saw, and went to work in our direction. Get engaged and test the waters.”

UHS offers safe sex delivery service Play Safe Post delivers safe sex supplies to on-campus dorms.

By Lauren Grobe @LaurenGrobe

tudents can now order a diverse array of free safe sex supplies through the Healthy Horns Play Safe Post.

The Play Safe Post is a safe sex delivery service run by the Office of Health Promotion at University Health Services and the Counseling and Mental Health Center. The service delivers to all on-campus residence halls and expanded this fall to offer a wider variety of safe sex supplies, including latex-free options and dental dams.

Last month, the service delivered 1,284 total safe sex supplies, said Brittany O’Malley, assistant director for prevention and wellness at UHS. “Already we’ve seen with this pilot and offering these different options, people are taking advantage of what we’re offering through Play Safe Post,” O’Malley said.

72 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in what is arguably Ehlinger’s best performance in burnt orange.

“This guy (Ehlinger) prepares like a pro — he’s great,” Herman said. “Nobody would ever question the way that he prepares. The guy has played in some big ball games this year, and he’s played really well in those games. I don’t think anybody was surprised to see him do what he did.”

Amid a Texas-record 48 points in the Red River Showdown, Ehlinger became just the third quarterback in the program’s history to run for three touchdowns in a Big 12 game.

A win in the first nationally relevant matchup between the Longhorns and Sooners since 2012 qualifies as an important step for Texas,

delivered on Thursdays in plain white envelopes. Student identities are kept anonymous to ensure privacy. The Office of Health Promotion wanted to remove as many barriers as possible to students

especially for many veteran players who had not beaten Oklahoma until Saturday’s thriller.

“This is my first time beating OU,” wide receiver Collin Johnson said. “They beat me the first two years that I’ve been here. It’s a great win. We’re just going to enjoy it.

And keep going from here. It definitely proves that we can compete with anybody in the country.”

Now, as the college football season nears the halfway mark, Texas sits second in the Big 12 with a 5–1 record — a long ways away from last year’s 6–6 regular season finish.

“It’s a feeling I can’t even explain,” senior defensive back P.J. Locke III said. “Like I said, we’ve been through so much and with this being my senior year, I’ve been through the ups and downs with this team. To finally get the win and go out with a bang my senior year, I cannot thank these guys enough.”

getting safe sex supplies, O’Malley said.

“This allows a personal way to get this delivery in a way that isn’t necessarily having to walk up to a counter or have to ask for them,” O’Malley said.

The Play Safe Post program started operating in fall 2016, and has been expanding its services every year since by adding delivery locations.

Other safe sex resources on campus include the Gender and Sexuality Center, the Center for Multicultural Engagement and the Center for Students in Recovery. The Gender and Sexuality Center collaborates with the Office of Health Promotion and Austin-based centers such as the Austin Q to get condoms and dental dams to students, Gender and Sexuality Center Director Liz Elsen said in a statement. Student organizations such as UT Students for Planned Parenthood also provide similar resources, but the Play Safe Post is the only safe sex delivery service on campus.

The Play Safe Post offers a permanent service for students that need the supplies, said Ashely Deñó, campus campaign manager for UT Students for Planned Parenthood.

“I think it’s so efficient that they’re available to them every week and all they have to do is fill out a form,” said Deñó, African and African diaspora studies and youth and community studies senior.

Computer science freshman Jeffery Gordon said the service is practical and aligns with student interest.

“It’s always good to be safe and it seems like a very efficient and easy way of being safe,” Gordon said.

because it is so traumatic unless they understand that it would be the critical difference that will allow them to seek protection.”

The Girasol program offers trainings for lawyers, social service providers and educators so they can better work with immigrants who have experienced trauma.

According to the official website, the goal of these trainings is to create a network of professionals who are able to provide expertise for the cases of individuals and families seeking asylum.

The Girasol program provides undocumented immigrants with available public resources through their website, Navegando Austin. Students working toward a degree related to mental health can volunteer with the Social Work Detention Response Team and travel to detention centers to provide support to immigrants.

Take action and vote this November

By Molly Bolf and Jennifer Liu Forum Edi

tors

As we approach the 2018 election midterms that are being held early next month, many students and young adults are paying more and more attention to issues and current events that they care about. We’ve seen passionate opinions from both sides of the political aisle on recent events. We’ve witnessed and felt the subsequent frustration and emotion stemming from them.

Just this past week, we’ve seen UT students respond to one of this presidential administration’s most controversial political decisions — Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination,

and his highly-contested confirmation. Students and faculty were inspired to speak out, both in support of and against, this issue.

One of the most effective ways to engage young people in the politics that affect them and to engage in public discourse is by getting them to practice their civic duty and vote. But continuing participation outside of voting can be difficult, and it can be easy for people to become disheartened and discouraged. At this year’s Texas Tribune Festival, The Daily Texan had the opportunity to sit down with notable activists and speak with them about how young voters can continue to stay both motivated and involved.

DeRay Mckesson, one of the founding organizers of the Black Lives Matter movement and

a civil rights activist, stresses the importance of using platforms, like social media, to safely and effectively spread messages. He encourages young people and students to take full advantage of the opportunities afforded to them at universities, and encourage their peers to be active as well.

Cecile Richards, former president of Planned Parenthood and daughter of former Texas Governor Ann Richards, speaks to the power and importance of simply becoming involved, and reminds young people to not dwell on the past, but to focus on the future.

Voting remains one of the best and easiest ways to effect change. This year, midterm elections will be held on November 6, 2018, and early voting begins Monday, October 22nd. UT voting

INTERVIEW

INTERVIEW

angela wang

| the daily texan staff

Activism isn’t just taking charge, it’s being mindful Daily Texan: How do we get people energized about this issue and others and out voting, or being activists?

DeRay Mckesson: I think that one of the lessons from 2016 is that people actually, especially our generation, are not motivated to vote against things. People want to vote for something. So, you think about, in Texas, people voting for Beto. He is a candidate who people believe in.

When I think about energizing, it’s, “How do we help people figure out the thing that they can vote for?” and I think that is the work all across the country.

DT: You’ve talked about how you use Twitter as a platform for social change. Twitter has also come under fire lately for not removing white supremacists or other alt-right leaders, so where do you stand on that, in terms of what Twitter’s responsibility is?

M: I’ve seen the good and bad of the platform. You know, the first person who was ever permanently banned from Twitter was banned for raising money to try to get me killed, so I’ve seen that part of it and also the part of the platform that helps people speak and build communities in ways that weren’t possible before.

When I think about Twitter’s responsibilities specifically, I’m mindful that some people come to the platform bad — the platform didn’t make them bad. Bad people exist and we need to figure out a way to get to these people way before they get to a platform. The platform has a lot of responsibility to make sure those people don’t form communities with other bad people. My push for them is to ensure that they are hearing from people directly impacted about these things when they make decisions, and not only the people who represent them.

DT: We are from the University of Texas, and the University has struggled very publicly in the last few years to deal with race on campus.

What would you do if you were a student here, or even just a student trying to deal with that?

M: When I think about the role of student leaders, I think of student protests. So much of protesting is telling the truth in public and forcing people to deal with it — laying it bare, and knowing that protesting is not the answer but (that) it creates space for the answer. What I say about free speech all the time is, “You know who’s not on CNN are the people who shot up the Gazette newspaper in Annapolis.” Why are they not on CNN? Because CNN understands that giving space to that language is dangerous. People do have a moral compass and see that speech can cleary incite violence, and they are always making a choice. Part of our work is to name the choice, to say you actually didn’t think this community was deemed worthy of a response quickly, and there needs to be some accountability for that. You often hear people talk about reconciliation, buttruth has to come before reconciliation. People want to heal and do all this without ever dealing with the fact that there is tension and that people feel a certain way, that race and class and gender show up in college campuses,

and until we create a space for that that a campus has to participate in, I don’t know how we can do that.

DT: You bring up free speech, which is something we’ve been dealing with a lot. What do you think is the role of students if university administration cannot legally act?

M: I’m always proud to see protesters do things I would never imagine. I think there are many ways we can confront and sort of tease out that these things are dangerous knowing that there are some legal barriers. So, I’m interested in other ways students that students can protest to be really clear about what is not welcome here. And I’ve seen that happen across the country. I think there are a lot of cool things that people can do that are really brilliant, so I’m hoping students will continue to do that.

DT: Is there anything students have power to do to enact change at a university level?

M: Absolutely. The hard thing about being a

student is two things — one is the administration knows you have a four year tenure. Four years, and then a new crop of students. So, what you find is that in colleges, students don’t really understand their power until about junior year, and then it’s senior year and they’re trying to focus on their future, and that works toward the status quo. The time when you are most ready you’re also trying to plan for your life. So, the question is, “How do we have the seniors help ‘radicalize’ the freshmen, let them get in early and think, ‘We can do this!’” The second is that part of the deal in college is that you have to come out a better reader and writer and thinker.

If all you get out of four years is that you got a statue, then you just got this not great end of the bargain. You need to make sure the place shows up for you, too.

DT: Something we have been dealing with is lack of empathy among young people. Everyone says that young people don’t vote because they don’t care, so we are trying to energize people who might not have an innate connection to the issue to actually care and vote or protest. How would we do that?

M: I think that so much of our work is, how do we create hooks for people? The second is understanding that my goal is not to get you to be a CNN junkie to vote. There might be one issue that’s very important to you, and I’ll just nail that one issue. Also, peer pressure really works.

So, all across the country, we need people hosting election parties on election day, and saying, “Let’s go to the polls!” That’s why the stickers matter — they reinforce that this is a social behavior that people should engage in. I think our generation particularly is interested in (having) something to vote for. We’ve lived through a time where voting wasn’t the panacea. I voted my entire life and I got tear gassed and pepper sprayed dragged by my ankles by police, and it’s not because I didn’t vote, right? So, we have seen voting not be the thing that has saved democracy, and we are saying that voting is one of many tools. People can vote, and run for office, and be in the street, and go to the meetings, too.

Don’t wait — there’s no better time than now Daily Texan: It’s hard to get people who are not directly invested in politics to get energized. Do you have any advice on how to get them out there?

So I do productive rights, wanting to overturn Roe v.

I think the important thing we should remind I’ve seen most women I know reliving their own men is that we need you not just to march with stories, some of which they’ve told before, many us and hold signs, but we need you to vote with of which have never been told before. So I think us. We need you to hold accountable people in the anguish many women are feeling is not just office for respecting womfor Dr. Ford and the other en’s rights, respecting women who have been a women’s access to healthpart of this story, but for care, in the same way you the millions of women would on any other issue whose stories have never you care about, because Don’t wait to be asked, been acknowledged, mayultimately, that’s what don’t wait for instrucbe never been told, and has to change.

basically. Speaking of activism, people are becoming more energized now, especially these past few years. Do you have any advice for young women and young men who are just getting introduced into that sphere?

R: Absolutely. I think there is, for folks who have never been involved in politics, and a lot of young voters — this will be the first election they can vote in — it seems maybe a little mysterious and daunting. I think the most important thing that you can do is just jump in. Whether that is volunteering on a campaign — there’s obviously a ton of campaigns in Texas right now that need your help, they need door-knockers and phone-bankers. I met a young woman in Austin the other day who had never been involved in politics, and she did her own “Beto Days Ahead” fundraiser with some bands she found. The motto right now is “Start before you’re ready.”

Don’t wait to be asked, don’t wait for instructions. And if campaigns aren’t your thing, there are organizations like Planned Parenthood, like the ACLU, so many organizations that need supporters. Being an activist, it’s not drudgery, it’s not painful. It’s actually the way you change the world and you meet amazing people along the way.

DT: What would you say to young women and people who feel discouraged?

R: I think we have to just not focus on the

past, but focus on the future. And I try to remind everyone, including young women, that millions of women are not going to vote in this election unless someone talks to them. In fact, I was just on a panel with Samantha Bee, and they had done a poll of her viewers, many of whom were probably young women, and half of them were not registered to vote. And so, I just think we make the mistake of thinking there are some other, bigger solutions to our issues. I believe marching is important, knitting your pussy hat is great, showing up to a town hall meeting is great, but voting? That’s the way women can actually begin to get equity in the political space — that’s what’s really important — and we have a really important election coming up in just a few weeks.

UT surplus store eliminates waste, saves students money

By Caroline Betik @CarolineBetik

Instead of making the drive to the Domain for shopping, students should consider stopping by the JJ Pickle Research Campus on Thursday afternoons to stock up on all things UT for prices they can actually afford.

Amidst the old buildings and bumpy roads sits Building 30, a warehouse home to UT’s own surplus store. The store opened two years ago with the purpose to re-purpose, collecting a variety of University items no longer in use to find them a new home.

Resource recovery manager Robert Moddrell said the surplus store is a unique, community piece designed to re-purpose used items.

“Our goal is to reduce waste and re-purpose, not necessarily make money,” Moddrell said. “I think the items here are really unique and have a real attachment to the University.”

From athletic gear to vehicles, the surplus store and online auction offers lots of variety. Because every item bought with state funds is required to go through surplus when removed from

occupancy, Surplus Properties receives around 2,000 tons of material from the UT-Austin system a year.

Moddrell said somewhere around 500-600 tons are redistributed to campus, school districts or other organizations.

That leaves another 1,500 tons that Surplus Properties tries to sell or recycle. Whatever remains has to go to the landfill since there is not enough space.

“Through shopping at the store and continuous online auction, students are able to actively participate in our zero waste goals we have in place at UT,” said Mark Engelman, assistant manager of Surplus Properties.

Branded attire cannot be redistributed so it comes to the surplus store where people can find items to show off their UT pride. One popular item customers like are football cleats.

“The cleats start at $20,” Engelman said. “If you go with that same type of model cleat in a standard Nike, they retail probably as 100 dollar pairs of cleats.”

Throughout the store you can find deals for as little as a dollar. These prices are based on a Dutch auction system.

Each month an item sits in the store, its price goes down 25

percent. This way customers are competing for who will buy it for a greater amount.

“The Surplus store is an additional way to help reduce landfill,” Moddrell said. “The store is perfect for students because pricing is so cheap and we target items that are smaller and more accommodating for student space. And the opportunity to buy a lot of the athletic based stuff is really cool.”

Government junior Andrew Herrell said he heard about the store a month ago and will definitely be going back, since he was impressed with his first visit to the warehouse.

“There were a lot of interesting and unique things there, it was a cool experience to get to shop things that were owned

by UT,” Herrell said. “It is an awesome, cheap place to find whatever you need from UT gear, books, furniture, records — you name it.”

While Moddrell said he would love to see more students come out Thursday to participate, they have seen some widely known customers since it opened.

“Ricky and Bobby, the guys from Storage Wars, they come and buy things from us all the time. It’s real fun and they’re funny,” Moddrell said.

Dana Saltalamachia’s story puts a face to the reality of many drug users: a traumatic background.

Saltalamachia, a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor intern at Integral Care and volunteer at the Austin Harm Reduction Coalition, has been through trauma that is unfathomable for most people.

She spent part of her childhood in an abusive foster care family and part of it in the hands of her abusive grandmother.

When Saltalamachia was 12, she was sexually assaulted. The same year, her mother died of a heroin overdose. Her grandmother did not let Dana attend the funeral.

To cope with the pain in her life, she began self-harming in the fifth grade. But Saltalamachia’s traumas piled up. She experienced homelessness, found herself barely escaping human trafficking, was kidnapped on more than one occasion and was forced into sex work. To cope with her traumas, she turned to heroin. It had a hold on her life for 11 years.

“My substance abuse was mostly related to trauma and not having anyone that I

Saltalamachia said.

Despite all that she has endured, Saltalamachia has been sober for 11 years and now helps drug users access services such as counseling and basic medical care. The organizations she works with focus on low-income and homeless populations in Austin. With Integral Care, Saltalamachia works on the street outreach team targeting populations at risk for contracting HIV and Hepatitis C. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 15,500 people died from drug overdoses involving heroin in the United States in 2016. Part of Dana’s work at Integral Care and the Austin Harm Reduction Coalition is ensuring that this number goes down.

Saltalamachia said that one challenge vulnerable populations face, such as those experiencing homelessness, is that they do not know what services are available or how to access them.

“Even if you want help, (they’re) so overwhelming to figure out,” Saltalamachia said.

“When I was using, I didn’t know I could go to a treatment center for free.”

James Lee, a member of UT’s chapter of Students for

Sensible Drug Policy and philosophy and sociology junior, has volunteered with Saltalamachia at the Austin Harm Reduction Coalition. Lee said the Austin Harm Reduction Coalition does not just save lives by reviving those who overdose, but by giving them a community.

“The big purpose of harm reduction is to be a point of contact and a stable community figure for people who are in a reckless point of their life and (Dana) is that person who provides a lot of stability,” Lee said.

Anand Pant, Students for Sensible Drug Policy member and MIS senior, said Saltalamachia’s work in harm reduction is so valuable because she can truly empathize with those who suffer from addiction.

“She has an amazing background in terms of teaching people about what it’s actually like to be in the midst of addiction,” Pant said.

Pant also said Saltalamachia truly meets people where they are at — one of the values she emphasizes the most.

“Instead of passing judgment on the next person, you could change someone’s life,” Saltalamachia said. “It’s about meeting people where they’re at, not at where you think they should be.”

Big Dicker Energy Freshman kicker drills game-winning field goal in Red River Classic.

Katie Bauer | the daily texan staff Texas freshman kicker Cameron Dicker attempts a kick during the Longhorns’ 48-45 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. Dicker made the game-winning field goal with 0:09 left in the 4th quarter to give the Longhorns their fifth straight victory.

By Alex Briseno @AlexxBriseno

The third quarter of the highly anticipated Red River Rivalry had just concluded, but the crimson half of the Cotton Bowl already decided they’d seen enough.

The Longhorn faithful erupted while the Oklahoma side headed for the exits once Texas gained a firm grip on the game with a 21-point lead. This wasn’t how the game was supposed to end.

After a week of buildup predicting a close matchup, the annual shootout wasn’t so after three quarters. Freshman kicker Cameron Dicker, who knew he might have to kick in a high risk, high reward situation, simply ran onto the field to add extra points after Texas continued to score in what slowly became a blowout.

“Once we went up three touchdowns, I was like, ‘Oh, OK. We’ll be good,’” Dicker said.

Then, the fourth quarter started.

Kyler Murray and the Sooner offense strung

together a massive 21-0 run to tie it, 45-45, with 2:38 remaining.

“When they started coming back, I was like, ‘O.K., I’ll kick the game winner,’” Dicker said.

“I knew I was going to, I felt that and I was ready to go.”

The Sooner fans who stuck around erupted while the burnt orange half of the stadium sat in stunned silence. But Tom Herman wasn’t worried, and despite all eyes shifting toward the freshman kicker, neither was Dicker.

“Everybody knew we had plenty of time on the clock,” head coach Tom Herman said. “And we had done a two-minute drill to start every Tuesday practice the past three weeks needing a field goal. Every time, our offense has gone down and put our kicker in a position to kick it, and he’s made it every time.”

Quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who threw 24for-35 with 314 yards along with two passing and three rushing touchdowns, led a nine-play drive into Oklahoma territory as the clock continued ticking.

After driving 52 yards, Texas faced a decision: Go for a touchdown or get in position to set up Dicker the kicker — a true freshman —

to kick a field goal and possibly put the Longhorns ahead in the final seconds of the game.

With 14 seconds remaining in the game, Dicker ran onto the field with Ryan Bujcevski, Texas’ true freshman punter and snap holder, and true freshman long snapper Justin Mader, all pivotal pieces in the biggest moment of Texas’ 2018 season.

As Dicker awaited the snap, the rest of his team looked on from the sideline. Some linked arms, others prayed and a few even decided they couldn’t bear to look for themselves.

“I was sitting next to (Texas safety, Class of 2017) DeShon Elliott, and I ask, ‘How do you want to approach this?’” senior defensive end Breckyn Hager said. “I said, ‘Let’s look up.’ So we’re looking up. We’re not going to watch it.

As we’re looking up I was like, ‘God told me we were going to win this game, so why would he miss it?’ That’s when I was like, ‘Oh wait, he went to Lake Travis, and I’m from Westlake.’”

Hager’s joke ties back to Dicker’s high school days back at Lake Travis, which is commonly regarded as the archrival of Westlake High, where Sam Ehlinger and Breckyn Hager attended school. While all three Longhorns

are Austin natives, the Lake Travis-Westlake rivalry is commonly regarded as the biggest in the state.

Ehlinger looked on from the sideline, Hager looked up and Mader delivered a perfect snap to Bujcevski, who placed the ball for Dicker. It was a no-doubter. Dicker nailed the 40-yard field.

“It felt good right when it left my foot, and looking up, it was going through. I don’t even think I watched it go all the way through. I just turned around and went to Ryan (Bujcevski), our holder, and celebrated with him.”

Soon after the kick, the clock hit triple zeros, cementing Texas’ 48-45 upset victory over then-No. 7 Oklahoma. Dicker’s game-winning kick improves the Longhorns’ record to 5-1, with signature wins over three ranked opponents in the last four weeks.

Dicker’s kick also helps Texas jump to the top of the Big 12 standings and, for what it’s worth, also earned him respect from Westlake alumnus and Texas defensive end, Breckyn Hager.

“Now I can finally say, Lake Travis, y’all are alright.”

Texas defeats Iowa State, falls to West Virginia in Big 12 play

By Logan Harvill @LoganHarvill_

The Longhorns earned their second Big 12 conference win of the season as they defeated the Iowa State Cyclones, 2-1, on the road Friday afternoon.

After rescheduling the game in order to avoid inclement weather, the two teams unfortunately still had to endure a delay right before the end of the first half.

“It’s always hard after delays,” head coach Angela Kelly said after the match. “In this conference, it’s tough and you have to steal points wherever you can get them. Everyone is talented, everybody is organized, and you’re in adverse conditions.”

Later, star forward Cyera Hintzen found the back of the net for her tenth goal of the season. From 30 yards out, the Garland, Texas, native took a shot that hooked perfectly into the upper right corner of the goal, giving Texas the upper hand and adding another brilliant shot to an already amazing season.

“We did some really good things today,” Kelly said. “Cyera Hintzen’s goal, once again, I

feel like it’s a broken record but what a special player.”

The Longhorns couldn’t celebrate for long, however.

Just 57 seconds after Hintzen’s goal, the Cyclones were able to break through the Texas defense to respond with a goal of their own.

From there, the Longhorns found a rhythm again, nearly scoring on a 37th-minute attack from Hintzen after a beautiful assist from sophomore Haley Berg.

Seconds later, the head official signaled the end of play for a lightning delay that lasted 43 minutes.

Upon return, the Longhorns managed to build multiple attacks that were nearly successful, but neither team found the back of the net until the 87th minute where Texas’ Kayra Dollas curved a shot into the upper left 90 to give the Longhorns the game-winning goal. “(The goal) helped us a lot because we didn’t want to go into another overtime,” said Dollas. “It’s a great feeling (to have a win) especially from last weekend.”

In front of 2,081 Mountaineer fans, Texas suffered its second loss of the season on Sunday in a 2-1 defeat in

Morgantown, West Virginia.

Texas struggled to control possession, producing much of their offensive attacks through counters. Goalkeeper Nicole Curry was tested all day, making diving stop after diving stop, including a spectacular save in front of goal at the 48 minute mark. Curry finished the game with five saves in all.

Sophomore forward Haley Berg was another bright spot for Texas, scoring the opening goal in the 19 minute mark.

Following a patient and precise pass from forward Cyera Hintzen, Berg cut back, avoiding two defenders and shot the ball past the keeper, and into the far left post to give Texas the lead.

West Virginia scored the equalizer on a PK after a Texas handball was called inside the box. Mountaineer defender Bianca St. Georges beat Curry to the right side to level the score 1-1.

Just three minutes following the tying goal, West Virginia put Texas away as St. Georges struck the ball from outside the box and into the far right post for a final goal.

Texas kicks off another matchup against Oklahoma at Mike A. Myers Stadium at 7 p.m. on Friday.
