New UT app fills void

UTPD offers Rape Aggression Defense class for women

Freshmen develop new app after original UT app removed features, switched to sports-only content.

milana todua | the daily texan staff Shrivu Shankar, computer science freshman and the founder of the UT Finder app, was interviewed Oct 13, 2018. Shankar created the app in order to help students organize their schedules and provide help maneuvering around campus.

fter the removal of student resources from the official UT app, two freshmen created their own app with a campus map, account balances and course schedules. The free app, UT Finder, allows students to locate buildings on campus, access their schedule and view their Bevo Bucks and Dine In Dollars balances. Computer science freshman Shrivu Shankar said he created the app last month in response to his friends complaining that the UT app no longer displayed their schedules. “I was like, ‘Wow, it’s the perfect

opportunity to hit the market with my own app,’” Shankar said. “And in three days, I built the app.” The official UT app previously displayed schedules and Bevo Bucks and Dine In Dollars balances, but a recent update made it so that it only displays sports information. Shankar’s roommate, Greyson Rauscher, said he encouraged Shankar to make his own app, which over 200 students have now downloaded. “I use it constantly,” business freshman Rauscher said. “I’m terrible with time. I needed the app.” Rauscher designed the logo for the app and helped advertise it solely through word of mouth. “I started out with a few people, and then I basically tried to get

it to spread to more people and hoped for an exponential effect,” Rauscher said. Shankar previously made similar apps for his high school, one being the Cy-Ranch app, which allowed classmates to access district-related news, grades and information about teachers. He realized how expensive it was to maintain a server for the app and attempted to sell the it to the school district. The district did not purchase the app, so Shankar funded the server by putting ads in. Shankar said he’s motivated to make organizer apps to help others and demonstrate how easy it is to make similar apps. “I can inspire other people to

build their own apps,” Shankar said. “With the Cy-Ranch app, a lot of people started contacting me. I would give them tips, and I liked doing that.” History freshman Kelsie Adams said she prefers Shankar’s app because she can access her schedule. “The Texas app I used to have changed, so now I don’t know how to navigate it, so I just use his instead.” Adams said. Shankar said the app is still an early build, and he’s open to expanding the functions based on online reviews and direct suggestions from students. “I now have a platform where I can add those utilities for people,” Shankar said.

Nearly 20 women shouted “Stay back!” and practiced defending themselves against potential assailants in the UT Police Department training room Monday evening. The women were participating in the Rape Aggression Defense system, a national program that teaches self-defense and crime prevention tactics to women. UTPD officers have offered the 12-hour RAD classes to women for free since they received a grant from Voices Against Violence in 2001. UTPD Detective Eliana Decker, one of the instructors, said RAD is unique for women because it offers an environment where women will feel comfortable and can learn their own ways to improve personal safety. “This class offers women a chance to self-reflect and decide for themselves what their own self-defense looks like,” Decker said. “I’ve seen so many women who think that they’re coming here to learn physical self-defense and leave knowing that they are stronger than they realized.” UTPD Lt. Greg Stephenson said while it is still important to teach people not to commit assault, UTPD also wants to make sure women have the skills they need to defend themselves. “If I could teach people not to commit crimes, I would do it,” Stephenson said. “But I also have to look at what can I do. And if that is to teach women to fend (for) themselves or be aware and prevent crimes, we’ll do that.” Over the course of three days, women in the class learn harm reduction strategies, crime prevention techniques and physical self-defense

Texas Lassos grow antidrunk driving efforts

Alan Pease aims to combat popular issues in light of this year’s mayoral race

By Nicole Stuessy @nicolestuessy

This semester, female spirit group Texas Lassos expanded its program, Lassos Against Drunk Driving, to the entire campus to reach the rest of the student body. Following the death of one of their members, Vanessa Whitford, in a drunk driving accident in May 2015, Texas Lassos decided to tackle the issue of drunk driving head on. In 2016, members started Lassos Against Drunk Driving to raise awareness on the victim’s behalf. Now, the program is called Longhorns Against Drunk Driving to target more students. “This is such a huge issue that doesn’t just affect Lassos but anyone who gets behind the wheel, so we changed it to launch it campus-wide,” English senior Michaela Cappello said. Later this month, Cappello said they will also begin a series

of coffee shop talks with victims and perpetrators of drunk driving accidents as well as lawyers and law enforcement officials. “Criminal defense lawyers are going to come in and talk about, ‘This is how your life can change with these charges,’” Cappello said. “People who work with EMS and EMT are coming in and talking about their experiences with people who have been in those accidents.” Program coordinator Rylee Gladych said drunk driving has not been adequately addressed in the past despite UT’s large population. “I can name more than five people that I personally know who have gotten a DUI or that I know have been drinking and driving,” sports management junior Gladych said. “I know that it’s not rare, and it is an issue.” Longhorns Against Drunk Driving will hold 6 a.m. Monday

Editor’s note: This is one in a series of profiles on the Austin mayor’s race. After attending nearly every Austin City Council meeting for the last eight years, automotive blogger Alan Pease said the Council does not tackle affordability and transportation effectively. Pease said he can do a better job, which is why he’s running for mayor of Austin. “Too often, the Council gets hung up on a particular issue,” Pease said. “They pay a lot of attention to these issues, but when it comes time to take action, they have a difficult time getting the job done.”

angela wang | the daily texan staff Daniel Brinks, Rapoport Center co-director and associate professor of government, moderates a discussion between public affairs professor Erin Lentz, far left, and Ignacio Saiz, far right, Monday afternoon. The Rapoport Center invited Saiz to speak on the relationship between law and socioeconomic inequality as part of the center’s Fall Speaker Series.

Activist reflects on importance of human rights By Maysa Mustafa @maysamustafa

Human rights policy can have a boomerang effect on issues outside of its traditional sphere and is key to solving many of today’s inequalities, according to an expert on economic inequality and social injustice. Ignacio Saiz, executive director of the Center of Economic and Social Rights, spoke Monday at the Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice on the correlation between economic inequality and human rights. “We see the role of CESR as being provocateurs of using human rights language where it’s not usually being

used,” Saiz said. “It’s one of the next frontiers of human rights.” Last year, 82 percent of generated wealth went to the richest 1 percent of the global population, Saiz said. He said this extreme inequality is “both a cause and a consequence of human rights violations.” “We have found a striking but intuitive correlation between economic disparities and racial and gender disparities,” Saiz said. “Inequality would be even worse if not for some human rights gains.” Public affairs professor Erin Lentz said Saiz’s goal of exposing the connection between various social inequalities can lead the public to do what is ultimately needed for change — taking action.

“Something that resonates with me is the call for an integrated approach — how policy changes in one realm has consequences in other realms,” Lentz said. “Having multiple perspectives on an issue allows people to demand more from their state.” Saiz said entities should both protect human rights and utilize that as a tool for solving inequality. “Human rights provides a universal language to articulate the shared conviction that extreme inequality is a disparity at the front of human dignity,” Saiz said. “What is the goal of human rights if not to protect and fulfill human dignity?” Law student Alison Techman said classes do not offer practical and tangible approaches towards issues,

unlike Saiz’s lecture. “We usually read about theoretical responses,” Techman said. “It’s cool that there are people out there designing implementable solutions.” Law student Huey Fischer said this approach is critical to explaining how economic inequality is both a cause and an effect of human rights violations. “Saiz is really hands on when it comes to … putting forward practical solutions that governments can run with to improve peoples’ lives,” Fischer said. “That’s something thats really important in this conversation — making sure there’s a connection between academic research, nonprofit research and then the practical government responses.”

“The future is going to come to us whether we want the future or not,” Pease said. “If we can get you or me to take any other kind of transportation, including scooters, that’s one less car on the road.” Pease said the Council struggles to accomplish its goals because Austin residents do not agree on how to address the issues at hand. “They can’t push policies through because they’re not pulling the com-

munity together on these very important issues,” Pease said. “The first step is to bring the community together and ensure they have a voice the decision-making process.” Pease said holding more frequent City Council meetings with a streamlined process for outside participation will give residents the voice they’re looking for. “I want everybody, whether you’re a senior citizen, tech worker or UT student, to be able to speak with the Council if you want to,” Pease said. “You shouldn’t have to spend an entire day waiting there to have your voice heard.”

Professor receives grant for pipeline research By Laura Morales @lamor_1217

A $300,000 grant was awarded to civil engineering associate professor Salvatore Salamone last month for his pipeline safety research. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration awarded the grant for Salamone’s research on pipeline corrosion, which would prevent environmental disasters such as oil spills . “The impact could be huge,” Salamone said. “If you think about pipelines under water, if oil spills (happen), there is huge damage. There are a lot of accidents that have occurred in the past

related to corrosion damage in pipelines.” Salamone is a leading researcher in detecting and estimating pipeline corrosion using high-frequency waves. He submitted the research proposal to the grant review board in the PHMSA and received an outstanding rank based on scientific merit and the feasibility of the research’s management plan. He said the success of the research could reduce the large costs of maintaining pipelines and detect corrosion, one of the leading causes of pipeline failure. Overall, $3.8 million was given to 11 universities. According to the grant guidelines, the federal government will fund no more than 80 percent of the total cost of each project. The rest of

the cost falls upon the universities. The grant also covers the compensation for the graduate students participating in the study. Postdoctoral researcher Arvin Ebrahimkhanlou said this aspect of research can have many benefits not just for the project but also for the students participating in the research. “It also has positive educational outcomes,” Ebraimkhanlou said. “The people who are working on the project are able to continue their education and be experts in this area so that in the future they can be hired by the industries who are going to use and implement these types of technologies.” The project has already attracted interest from the Amerapex

Corporation, a company that offers technical expertise involving corrosion detection. University researchers have tested their methods on Amerapex’s facilities before, but with the grant, future studies can be much more extensive than previous attempts. “Through the PHMSA award, our team will be able to perform in-depth studies and experiments to develop a state-of-the-art structural health monitoring system for pipeline corrosion inspection,” said Stylianos Livadiotis, research assistant and civil engineering graduate student. “This system will have the key characteristics of being economic, automated and capable to diagnose the early stages of corrosion damage.”

Electrification of homes could reduce carbon emissions By Grace Dickens @dickensgrace

A shift in how Austin houses source their electricity is key to reducing carbon emissions in residential areas of Austin, UT researchers found. Currently, many houses are set up to receive energy directly from natural gas. But if houses receive their energy from power plants, any type of energy source can be used, paving the way for a switch to renewable resources. The process of heating our homes from electric plants instead of directly through natural gas pipelines is called electrification. Benjamin Leibowicz, researcher and assistant professor of engineering, said direct natural gas consumption in residential areas of Austin is responsible for 14 percent of the city’s carbon emissions. Additionally, UT-Austin is responsible for 3,742,528 thousand cubic feet of natural gas usage in 2017, which is lower than previous years according to UT-Austin’s Utilities and Energy Management department. In addition to better construction practices, Leibowicz and earth and energy resources member Christopher Lanham, among others, evaluated the use of cleaner energy sources and more efficient appliances. They evaluated each to figure out which combination of strategies would be the most effective in reducing carbon emissions. “The dominant trend was towards electrification and electrifying those building services,” Leibowicz said. “More efficient buildings save money in terms of energy in a lot of different ways because buildings require less

strategies by watching instructional videos and participating in handson demonstrations. Stephenson said UTPD hosts this class for women because they want to provide multiple avenues for women to feel safer on campus. UTPD previously offered the class for men, but discontinued it due to lack of interest. “RAD is a lot more than just self-defense,” Stephenson said. “It’s a lot about understanding and being aware of your surroundings and what either the police or the public can do to make life a little tougher for criminals and easier for women.” Plan II senior Francesca Reece said she has been lucky not to have encountered an unsafe or dangerous situation during her time at UT, but she took the class because she wanted to know how to protect herself

after graduation. “We all have romanticized notions of thinking we can attack or that the adrenaline will be able to carry us through, but this practice and learning techniques will truly give me the confidence to know that I have the skills needed to get away,” Reece said. Decker said among the 2.3 million women who reported attempted sexual assaults in the U.S. last year, 71 percent who knew self-defense were able to avoid being raped. “Everyone in every situation is different, but self-defense is always an option for each individual to use,” Decker said. “In cases where a stranger or a rape aggression comes about, a woman who knows self-defense will be a surprise to their attacker. UTPD will be offering another RAD class in November. Registration is currently open for all female students, faculty and staff.

Electrification involves transitioning a household’s energy supply from carbon-producing sources, such as natural gas, to electric power plants. While electricity production may not be clean, it gives buildings the opportunity to continue to decarbonize by providing the infrastructure to switch to renewable resources, which helps in the longterm, according to Leibowicz. “A key point is that it’s important to consider long-term emission targets before investing in strategies that might be helpful for reducing emissions in the short-term,” Leibowicz said. “It’s possible that in the short-term,

jeb milling

using natural gas for heating could reduce emissions and be cost-effective, but this strategy would limit the ability to decarbonize the system more significantly in the long-term.” Eliminating the direct consumption of fossil fuels by residential buildings would almost be impossible in the longterm due to the structure of buildings, Leibowicz said. He also said buildings relying on natural gas are hard to decarbonize without replacing the whole building. Leibowicz added that Austin’s use of natural gas is smaller than that of cities in colder climates because our peak energy consumption has a shorter duration. According to the Institute of Physics, heating systems are also more energy-demanding than cooling systems. “It really depends on how quickly we want to decarbonize,” Leibowicz said. “In Austin, natural gas consumption in the residential sector is smaller than in colder climates.” Leibowicz said these findings apply to both consumers and city government. Residents can invest in energy-efficient appliances. Additionally, the City of Austin can make more strides to be green. Coupling initiatives with higher level policies such as carbon taxes or decarbonized building codes can also be powerful, Leibowicz said. “What really matters is when you save energy,” Leibowicz said. “The Texas peak in energy usage is in middle of the year, and peak A/C demand goes down with increased insulation in buildings. Ultimately, it’s not only how much energy you save, it’s also when you save it.”

Ethics must be at the forefront of STEM education By Abby Krishnan Columnist

Educational institutions are “asleep at the wheel” when it comes to teaching tech ethics, according to a New York Times oped published in November 2017. The piece calls upon universities to lead the education of future engineers in tech ethics and the social implications of their work. STEM classrooms, specifically engineering and computer science classrooms, provide students with the tools to work in computing. However, they do not always put these concepts into a broader framework which can be applied in the real world. Professors need to integrate these ethical foundations into regular classroom material. It’s one of the best ways to teach tech students how to apply what they’re learning in a real-world setting. Alison Norman, an associate professor in the computer science department, teaches Principles of Computer Systems, a required core course for computer science undergraduates. Although Principles of Computer Systems is a purely technical class, Norman spends one day every semester applying learned concepts to examples of real world unethical usages. The example she uses is a piece of medical technology, the Therac 25, that resulted in the deaths of numerous patients. These deaths were a result of a reckless section of code. She structures the class in a way that tells stories of the victims side by side with the code that caused their demise.

By bringing together computer science concepts and ethics in the same setting, Norman increases the likelihood that students will remember the importance of ethical behavior when coding. It also familiarizes students with situations they are likely to encounter in their everyday jobs. With new technology such as autonomous vehicles and data science affecting reception of information, it is important that students notice a lapse in ethics before these products reach the masses.

The one-hour ethics course can only accommodate 60 students per semester. There are around 1,700 CS undergraduates.”

Studies have shown that when provided with a real world context, students better understand the relevance of the lessons, leading to higher levels of interest compared to students taught traditionally. UT currently offers courses in ethics to computer science and engineering students such as Contemporary Issues in Computer Science and Ethical Foundations of

Computer Science. The problem is that these courses are optional, so this material doesn’t end up reaching a majority of students. According to Norman, currently, the one-hour ethics course can only accommodate 60 students per semester. There are around 1,700 CS undergraduates. The other issue is that placing ethics into separate courses — the way UT does — can be counterproductive. Casey Fiesler, an information science professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, is one of the few professors who focuses on integrating ethics into tech education. “When you first learn to write code or build technologies, a fundamental part of that should be learning how to think through possible ethical issues,” Fiesler said. “If you don’t do that, you’ve missed a vital step — just as bad as if you don’t learn to test or find mistakes in your code.” UT professors should follow Fiesler’s lead when it comes to ethics and technology. According to Fiesler, when ethics only come up in classes specifically devoted to it, professors reinforce the idea that computing ethics is a side gig, a specialization, rather than part of everything you’re doing anyway. STEM departments at UT should incorporate more material on ethics in all classrooms because of the way it can have an honest impact on students. Prioritizing ethics in the classroom is the first step in ensuring that the future of technology is secure for all. Krishnan is a computer science sophomore from Plano.

MasculinUT sought to teach men strategies to help reduce sexual and interpersonal violence on the UT campus. However, following fervent criticism from national conservative media outlets, MasculinUT has been put on hiatus. UT needs to prioritize bringing back MasculinUT instead of bowing to pressure from the press. MasculinUT was originally a part of UT’s Counseling and Mental Health Center, but after conservative outlets criticized the program for allegedly treating masculinity as a “mental health issue,” UT moved the program to the Office of the Dean of Students. Dean Soncia Reagins-Lilly, vice president for student affairs and dean of students, called a steering committee together to compile recommendations to improve the program. Carol Longoria, chair of the MasculinUT steering committee and deputy to Dean Reagins-Lilly, said the committee did not consider critiques from the conservative media in their recommendations, but the committee did convene in May to respond to these critiques. According to Longoria, there’s no official date set for when MasculinUT will return to campus. However, programs targeting sexual violence at UT, such as MasculinUT, are vital. According to the 2017 UT CLASE Health Report survey, sexual violence runs rampant at UT-Austin. Nearly 15 percent of undergraduate women at UT reported being raped. 28 percent said they experienced some form of unwanted sexual touching. While not all men perpetrate crimes against women, most perpetrators of sexual violence against women are men. MasculinUT was one of a variety of programs — such as Voices against Violence and Title IX — designed to target sexual violence. Most of these programs target women, but MasculinUT targeted men. MasculinUT relies on the idea of reducing restrictive masculinity and cultivating more healthy forms of masculinity. Restrictive masculinity argues behaviors men are taught when they grow up can lead to violence later in life. Some of those behaviors include being told not to cry or not open up to male friends. MasculinUT promotes healthy masculinity which allows men to open up about their issues and eliminate sexism, other biases and sexual violence. While many conservative outlets criticized MasculinUT’s view of masculinity and questioned their conclusions, MasculinUT compiled over 30 academic sources that highlight how they can harness healthier views of masculinity to reduce sexual violence. MasculinUT did not rely on personal opinion, but thorough research. When the University chose to temporarily end the program, they allowed conservative media to win rather than pointing out the flaws in the coverage and sticking by the program. While the decision and its implications cannot be reversed, UT can improve the situation by bringing the program back as soon as possible. MasculinUT can properly combat the results of the CLASE survey. Sexual violence needs to be fought on all levels, and by bringing men and MasculinUT back into the conversation we can help improve this campus. Treuthardt is a journalism and marketing junior from Allen.

If Kavanaugh is ‘self made,’ what am I? By Angélica López Columnist

My distaste for Justice Brett Kavanaugh was born out of immense gratitude to my dad. When I think about how I made it into UT, I think about hard work — but not my own. I think about my dad sleeping all day and working all night to ensure finances wouldn’t stop me from attending college. I think about the scholarships I’ve received, the financial aid that I was rewarded, and the college degree that was never an option for my father. I do not consider myself a self-made student. In contrast, during the hearings for Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation, one significant assumption underpinned Kavanaugh’s defense: He was a self-made man, someone who — without any help — crafted his own career. However, by accepting this narrative, we disregard the sacrifices of those who have helped us succeed in our own lives. As we experience success, we must remember the contributions of those who supported us in our journeys to UT. Before the nation, Kavanaugh positioned himself in stark opposition to his inherited privilege. When describing his educational background, Kavanaugh claimed he made it to Yale by “busting (his) tail” because he “had no connections there.” However, Kavanaugh failed to mention that his grandfather had attended Yale, making Kavanaugh a legacy and increasing the likelihood of his admission. At UT, alumni relation is not considered in determining the admissions status of incoming freshmen. Students actually have to bust their tails to get in. “It really just (felt like) a performance,” said Alejandra Morales, a history and government junior and first-generation student. “I feel like

(Kavanaugh) doesn’t realize how privileged he is, that he has many things that allowed him to (become) a self-made man.” As a large state-funded school, UT serves thousands of students with varying degrees of socioeconomic privilege. Since the Kavanaugh trial, the rhetoric of being “self-made” has crossed the minds of some students coming from less economically privileged backgrounds, as well as some first-generation UT students.

gratitude for those who helped him succeed brings his claim to being self-made into question. “That’s another sign that he doesn’t know what struggling is,” said Brooke Quach, a first-generation English junior. “You learn a lot from others around you who lift you up.” We have the unique opportunity to change the way we craft our own narratives of success.

“As a first-generation student, without my parents, I know I would not be where I am right now,” marketing junior Cheyenne Valdez said. “I know I cannot claim the self-made title … Coming from less privileged places, you don’t get to glorify (your struggle).” These perspectives are dissonant when compared to Kavanaugh’s comments during the confirmation hearings.

FILM REVIEW | ‘GOOSEBUMPS 2’

‘Goosebumps 2’ scares younger audiences, underwhelms adults By Noah Levine @ZProductionz

Cause for Paws Tattoopalooza gives proceeds to no-kill efforts manager for Austin Pets Alive!, said the money raised by ArtHouse Tattoo helps with the daily care of animals in their care or foster systems. She said a donation of $10 directly benefits the animals with basic medical care and necessities such as food. “It’s organizations like ArtHouse Tattoo that have allowed us to keep our doors open because they’re so dedicated to our mission of no-kill,” Berent said. “It’s people like Tanya who are actually on the ground and putting in the work.” Mike Metaxa, co-owner and primary tattoo artist for ArtHouse Tattoo, said he is passionate about no-kill because pets can play such a pivotal role in family life. “Getting Maximus was probably the best thing I did for my kids,” Mike said. “Pets actually make people better and make their life longer. It’s just a permanent stress removal. They need us and we need them.” Attendee Justin Smith said he and his fiancée Cassandra Johnston decided to participate because they are both passionate about animal welfare. He said having pets has been a source of happiness during troubling times. “We’ve both been going through some really difficult situations in our professional lives,” Smith said. “When you adopt a pet, you get to know that pet together. After a hard day’s work, I don’t care what happened that day (once) I get to spend time with our pets.” Johnston said she sees no point in increasing the pet population when there are so many animals who need a home. “They’re usually such sweet animals that have had a tough life,” Johnston said. “I feel like it is more rewarding to spoil them, treat them really well and give them a reward for what they’ve been through.”

As animal lovers walked out of ArtHouse Tattoo this past weekend, they left with fresh ink on their bodies and a receipt for a charitable donation they had just made. On Sunday, dog and cat lovers alike had the opportunity to give back to the animal rescue community at the seventh Cause for Paws Tattoopalooza hosted by ArtHouse Tattoo. For four hours, the shop gave participants small, pet-related tattoos. All proceeds, tips and donations went to nonprofit Austin Pets Alive!. The organization played a large role in advocating for the No-Kill Plan that the Austin City Council approved in March 2010. Austin is the largest nokill city in the U.S. This means they save at least 90 percent of the animals that enter the Austin Animal Center. By February of 2011, the city had reached and surpassed this rate. Tanya Metaxa, co-owner of ArtHouse Tattoo, said she knew she wanted to organize an event when she and her husband, Mike Metaxa, moved from New York to Austin and discovered how visible the animal rescue community is. The couple has two dogs, Maximus and Stewart, the latter of which they adopted from Austin Pets Alive! in January. “In Austin, (animal lovers are) everywhere,” Tanya said. “There are cats outside, everyone walking their dogs and usually, (they’re walking) more than one. It’s great that many businesses in Austin allow (you) to bring in your pets, and it’s a completely different story from New York.” Katera Berent, communications and events

‘Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween’ SCORE

face off against an army of gummy bears, and it truly is a whimsical scene. Another encounter pits the ensemble against a giant spider composed only of balloons. Scenes such as these help the film remain entertaining despite working with a very bare-bones plot. Overall, Aster does what he can within the confines of such a basic and linear script. He injects wonderful Halloween spirit whenever he can despite having to sluggishly move the plot along. Children will love this film — it possesses just enough spookiness and comedy to entertain them for a good hour and a half. However, adults who are looking for a terrifying dive into the Goosebumps world will certainly be disappointed.

THIS WEEK IN TEXAS ATHLETICS WEDNESDAY, OCT. 17 | 6 P.M. E! TEXAS TIP-OFF E R F

Only in the world of Goosebumps could gummy bears be scary. “Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween” is the follow-up to 2015’s “Goosebumps” starring Jack Black. While the first “Goosebumps” film focused on a plethora of R.L. Stine’s classic characters coming to life, this installment sets its sights on Halloween decorations as they become animated and attack a suburban town. The film follows a group of three friends as they work together to stop the Halloween apocalypse brought upon by the iconic “Goosebumps” character, Slappy the Dummy. Director Ari Aster seems to have set out to make the ultimate Halloween-inspired movie, but unfortunately only succeeds to a certain extent. “Goosebumps 2” is headlined by an impressive cast, including Jeremy Ray Taylor (Ben Hanscom in “It”) and Wendi McLendon-Covey (Beverly on “The Goldbergs”). These actors work well within the confines of the basic script, delivering mostly well-timed comedy and expected plot exposition. The other cast members have adequate performances as well, giving just enough life to the protagonists. Ken Jeong, best known for his role as Mr. Chow in “The Hangover,” offers some great comedic moments as a Halloween-obsessed next-door neighbor, but he ends up feeling like an over-exaggeration. Black returns as the incredible R.L. Stine, but his involvement in the film is surprisingly minimal. This is a strange decision considering the praise he received after the first film’s release.

The film is at its strongest creatively when it showcases the various creatures roaming around on Halloween night. From a vampire to a terrifying cyborg, the unique cast of monsters keeps things visually interesting and engaging. Unfortunately, these monsters aren’t given much to do aside from serving as cool elements of the background scenery. It feels silly to have incredible costume and makeup work be reserved for only quick scenes and shots. It would’ve been great for each of these monsters to have a bit more personality and an actual role in the flow of the plot. The plot for this film is very straightforward, so there isn’t much character development or additional insight included. An overall theme of trying to fill out a college essay prompt is interwoven, but it only has relevance in the beginning and end of the film. At the end of the day, this is a children’s film, and children just want to be entertained. Although the journey is a simple one, there are a couple of moments in “Goosebumps 2” that will stand out to the audience. In one instance, the protagonists

Ingram ignites Longhorn offense Despite breakout performance, freshman running back says his best is yet to come. By Ross Burkhart @ross_burkhart

hen quarterback Sam Ehlinger headed for the tunnel after suffering an AC sprain in his throwing shoulder, the Longhorns needed an offensive spark to keep their winning streak alive. Keaontay Ingram answered the call. Ingram, a freshman running back, rushed for 110 yards over just three quarters after not receiving a single carry in the opening quarter. Even though Ingram was essential in Texas’ 23-17 win over Baylor on Saturday and is now the team’s leading rusher, he’s still critical of how he would grade his young, sixgame career with the Longhorns. “I’m hard on myself, so I might say an F,” Ingram said after the game. “I feel like I could’ve done better with the opportunities I had. I need to take more advantage of it. On a couple of those runs, I feel like I could’ve had more yards, but that’s on me. I’ve just got to get better and better every week.” Ingram’s big day started off slowly, as his running mate, graduate transfer Tre Watson, had full ball carrying duties with eight carries in the first quarter. Then, Ingram led the way on the ground, rushing for over 100 yards — a feat that hasn’t been accomplished by a Texas running back since Week Two of last season. The lack of touches for Ingram early on was a result of head coach

Tom Herman trying to keep both running backs fresh for the game and the ongoing season. “I feel like that’s just good coaching,” Ingram said. “Coach Drayton and coach Herman, they know what they’re doing. They’re trying to make us last just a little bit longer. If we just keep playing our role and keep doing what we’re doing, we’ll keep winning.” While Ingram and Watson both present unique running styles as a powerful tandem for Texas, the big-play ability from the freshman runner has been well noted by the team. Ingram has gathered 15 or more yards on at least one run in five of his six games this season.

“It’s great blocking for him because when you’ve got a guy like him, you’re thinking in your head, ‘If I’m on a long drive and I’m straining to block a defensive player, all I’ve got to do is push a little bit more, strain a little bit more, and Keaontay is going to make something happen,’” senior offensive lineman Elijah Rodriguez said. When Ehlinger went to the sideline for the rest of the game, Shane Buechele entered to take over as quarterback. Buechele understandably missed on multiple throws in the first half after not playing in a real collegiate game since last year’s bowl game.

As a result, Ingram’s number was called multiple times to help move the offense, tallying 56 yards in the second quarter on just eight carries. He also helped guide Texas to 20 points in the quarter and a two-touchdown lead entering the half. Wide receiver Collin Johnson, who called Ingram his “little brother,” was quick to praise Ingram’s tough criticism of his performances, saying that the mindset is a testament to just how successful he can be for the program. “That’s how I know he’s going to be a really good player here,” Johnson said. “He’s going to be a really good player if he has that

mindset, just always thinking that he can do better. That’s the kind of teammate that you want next to you.” Ingram has made immense progress as a runner and a blocker over his six appearances this season despite his harsh self-assigned grade. Although most fans would likely disagree with Ingram’s scale, they certainly are excited to see what a good grade would look like. “I would definitely not give it an F, but the sky’s the limit for that guy, and if he’s playing at an F now, I’d like to see him at an A because nobody could stop him,” Johnson said.

Aston talks identity before Texas Tip-Off

Freshmen trio stands out at Big 12 Match Play

Texas basketball starts the 2018-19 basketball season this Wednesday with the fourth annual Texas Tip-Off, a free event at Gregory Gym with admission to the first 3,000 fans. This year, for the first time, Texas Tip-Off will include the Longhorn women’s team. Late Monday morning, women’s head coach Karen Aston took the podium to preview the event. “When I asked (athletic director Chris Del Conte) a few weeks ago if there was a chance we could just be a part of it, his answer was, ‘That’s a no-brainer,’” Aston said. While the festival outside of Gregory Gym will include a plethora of fan-inclusive activities, including interactive basketball games and a truck housing video games, the players inside will participate in an allstar game-style setup, encompassing three-point and dunk contests as well as a scrimmage. This will be the first action in an orange and white uniform for Danni Williams, a Texas A&M

graduate transfer, as well as the freshman class, nicknamed the “fabulous five,” minus the injured Sedona Prince. Prince, a five-star, 6-foot-7inch center from Liberty Hill, won’t participate in the Texas Tip-Off after suffering a broken leg while representing the U.S. in the FIBA Under 18 Basketball Championship in Mexico City over the summer. While Prince was initially ruled out for the 2018-19 season, Aston called her a “beacon of light” regarding her approach to rehab and praised her positive approach, adding that “she hasn’t been written off for this year.” In addition to the injured Prince, Aston also mentioned a timetable hasn’t been established for the return of forward Joyner Holmes, who sustained an undisclosed ankle injury last Monday during practice. Holmes successfully underwent surgery to repair her injury Thursday. “It’s her mental and physical capacity,” Aston said about establishing a timetable for Holmes’ return. Aston also said senior forward Olamide Aborowa has

some time with an undisclosed injury, but has returned to practice. A young, largely inexperienced team will feel the absence of Brooke McCarty and Ariel Atkins early on as they look to find their identity. “This team will have to find their identity more than once, and we haven’t even found it one time yet,” Aston said. “The finished product of this team will be different.” With Aston unable to herd together three of her frontcourt players due to injuries, she said, “I’m losing sleep over rebounding right now.” Following the Texas TipOff on Wednesday, the Longhorns will scrimmage another Division I opponent this weekend before playing West Texas A&M in an exhibition match Oct. 28. As her availability concluded, one final unrelated question for Aston squeaked in as she headed toward the doors. “Is Texas back?” one reporter asked. She replied, “I don’t think Tom (Herman) would want me to say 1-0, right?”

Texas beat No. 1 Oklahoma State and No. 2 Oklahoma during the final round of the inaugural Big 12 Match Play Championship on Sunday en route to a third-place finish on the weekend. Cole Hammer, one of the three Longhorn freshman competing, went undefeated in his matches, taking down opponents from Baylor, Iowa State, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Newcomers Pierceson Coody and Parker Coody, twins from Plano, also played in the tournament. Despite the young careers of the three competing Longhorns, head coach John Fields has a lot of confidence in what each of them brings to the table. “We have an infusion of freshmen that are very accomplished,” Fields said prior to the start of the tournament last week. “All three of them have tremendous

experience on a national and even an international basis and as a result, they’re going to play a lot of golf. So, I’m excited about those guys because they bring talent, they bring enthusiasm, and they bring believability with them.” Of the three, Hammer had the strongest week of play. In addition to the undefeated performance during the Championship, Hammer thrived earlier in the week at the Nike Invitational, where he was tied for the lead going in to the last round. “Cole Hammer proved that he could get into contention,” Fields said. “I know that he was left stinging after the Nike Invitational because he had an eight-hole stretch on the final day that knocked out his chances of winning the golf tournament. But on the other hand, during the last round, he was leading the tournament. If he can create opportunities like that, then at some point in time he is going to be close, and I

think he got valuable experience because of that.” In a normal match play tournament, one or two rounds of stroke play are played on the first day to determine which teams move on to the match play portion of the event, but due to the field size this week, all rounds were match play. The specific format for this week was a pool play-style tournament in which each team played four matches. The teams that made it to the championship match earned their spots by accruing points by winning or drawing matches. Teams earned three points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. Although Texas did not make it to the championship match, they defeated Oklahoma State on the final day of tournament play to capture third place. Next week, Texas is playing in its final tournament of the fall season at the Tavistock Collegiate at Isleworth Golf & Country Club in Florida.
