A day in the bipolar life By Kayla Meyertons @kemeyertons

of 18+ y.o people experience bipolar disorder

age when symptoms become prevalent

or Andrea Garza, being diagnosed with bipolar II disorder her first year at UT was a blessing in disguise. “I just thought I was broken. I just thought there was something wrong,” said Garza, an advertising junior. “It was just so relieving to finally feel like … my life doesn’t have to be like this forever’... I can be, quote unquote, normal.” Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental illness characterized by extreme highs and lows in mood behavior known as episodes of mania or depression, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. These periods can last weeks, months or even years at a time. The institute reports that 2.8 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older experiences bipolar disorder. Symptoms normally become prevalent between the ages of 15 and 24, often when students are in high school or college, said Julie Fast. “It makes sense that if your average bipolar starts in mid to late teens that we would have our first really big episode at college,” said Fast, a world leading mental health expert and the author of several bipolar books. To be diagnosed bipolar, one has to experience at least one episode of mania or hypomania, the less severe version of mania, in addition to depressive episodes.

Bipolar I and II are distinguished by the severity of their respective “up” episodes, mania and hypomania, according to Jorge Almeida, director of the UT Health Austin Bipolar Disorder Center. Manic episodes of extremely elevated moods result in frantic activity, grandiose thoughts of self, impulsivity, lack of sleep, talking very quickly and high risk-taking behavior, such as spending a lot of money and having reckless sex, according to the National Institute on Mental Health. “It has gotten me in trouble before,” Garza said. “I’ve definitely purchased tickets to Paris before without having the money for it, but my depressive episodes are definitely a l ot worse.” Depressive episodes of bipolar are marked by extreme sadness, low energy, feelings of worthlessness, difficulty concentrating and even suicidal thoughts. With her depressive episodes, Garza said she has struggled to attend classes and study. “Every task is an impossible task,” Garza said. “Getting out of bed is just the worst …. I can’t even process the thought of showering or eating.” Before her diagnosis, Garza had shown symptoms of

Texas House bill aims to digitize identification

Students facing failing grades turn to Q-drop

By Chad Lyle @lylechad

Texas will begin a pilot program for providing digital copies of drivers licenses and other forms of state-issued identification if House Bill 181 passes in the upcoming legislative session. The bill was proposed by State Rep. Terry Canales after he received encouraging results from a Texas Department of Public Safety study. “The conversation about digital IDs was started when we asked DPS to create the study — that was the first part of a three-part process,” Canales said. “The first part was the study. We asked DPS, ‘Can you do it?’ They came back and said not only can they do it, ‘We have these concerns, but here also are some of the benefits.’” Digital copies of licenses and other forms of ID would be convenient, Canales said, because 77 percent

of Americans already own smartphones and many are beginning to use programs such as Apple Pay. Canales also said digital forms of ID could have security measures not possible in a physical copy. “Some of the features of the digital license are more advanced than any physical copy of a license could have,” Canales said. “For instance, 3D images of your face and biometrics are some of the features that, as technology continues to get better and better, could be included.” The DPS study, which was conducted in August 2016, listed numerous potential benefits in its conclusion, but also indicated more research needed to be done. “A digital DL/ID solution has the potential to improve the assurance of a person’s identity … and optimize government resources,” the report said. “However, digital DL/ID solutions are in the early stages of

implementation and remain largely unproven.” Susan Nold, the director of the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Engagement, said a pilot program such as the one proposed by Canales is typically a good method for testing new policies. “It is often a very smart strategy to start with a pilot to have an opportunity that’s limited in scope to see how something would work,” Nold said. “That should be instructive as to whether the solution proposed in this bill is one that is a good one.” Despite the benefits of digital IDs, Canales said the goal is not to replace physical forms of ID entirely. “The intention is to have a secondary convenience source that’s not necessarily replacing the physical card,” Canales said. “Nothing about the bill or the idea of a digital license is meant to replace the original. It’s meant to give users an option if they would

like it.” Canales said he sees this as an opportunity for Texas to be a leader in innovation. “We could set the benchmark for other states and be the prototype that the federal government approves,” Canales said.

“Somebody’s got to make the first digital ID. I believe there’s at least one other state that has a working prototype, and there’s no reason that Texas should be left behind. We’re the greatest state in the union and that should apply technologically as well.”

Last spring, more than 1,500 students failed at least one class and more than 6,000 students Q-dropped at least one class. Q-dropping a class can prevent a student from having an ‘F’ grade calculated into their GPA. A Q-drop means the student withdraws from the class and a “Q” is placed on their transcript for that course. “UT-Austin’s academic standards are very high, and our students consistently rise to the challenge of our courses,” said Rachelle Hernandez, senior vice provost for enrollment management. Albert Medina, a radio-television-film junior, said he has failed a class and used all of his allotted Q drops to protect his GPA. “We go to a top-tier university, and some people are really scared to affect their GPA, so they would rather Q-drop than fail,”

Medina said. “UT can be tough … and it’s something that we can all relate to.” Jay Guevara, student program coordinator in the University Leadership Network and Academic Counselor’s Association president, said students should take advantage of resources to help them with classes, such as the Sanger Learning Center and the University Writing Center. “Students should check in with their academic advisor to find out about resources that might be specific for their college or school,” Guevara said. The deadline for Q-dropping courses was Nov. 1. The only other way a student can drop a class is by using their “one time exception,” or OTE. This is a one-time course drop that can be used at any point in the semester. Medina said failing is just a step toward success. He said he thinks it’s common to hear other students talk about failing, because

Some urban children have never seen a seed transform into a plant or experienced the taste of fresh fruit straight from a garden. However, with the help of around 300 undergraduate students in the TX Sprouts program, 16 elementary schools in the Austin area have their own functional gardens with vegetables, fruits, native plants and herbs. This month, the TX Sprouts’ educational program was awarded a 2018 Keep Austin Beautiful award, which recognizes community groups that inspire people to care for Austin’s open spaces and natural resources. The program, funded by the National Institutes of Health and led by associate nutrition professor Jaimie Davis, aims to develop and test the effects of a schoolbased gardening, nutrition

and cooking program to reduce childhood obesity and improve dietary intake in elementary schools. The gardens are primarily planted at Hispanic, low-income schools in the Austin area. Students eat and prepare healthy food that they watch grow during weekly outdoor classes. “We know that kids who grow their own food are much more willing to try to taste it,” Davis said. “This can have long-term impacts on their health.” Davis said the gardens are one quarter of an acre or larger, provide an outdoor teaching area with whiteboards and benches and are created with tools provided by the Keep Austin Beautiful organization. “A lot of what we do couldn’t have been possible without their help,” Davis said. Senior program coordinator Katie Nikah said undergraduate student assistants

help children taste-test produce from the garden and help them see food transition from the garden to a full meal. Nikah said it is important for students to see this transition with their own eyes to experience a connection with the earth. “Someone telling you how amazing the Northern Lights are and then seeing it for yourself is a whole other experience,” Nikah said. “There’s nothing cooler to see than a kid light up and be excited about eating a carrot who a few months ago said they hated carrots.” Nutrition senior Marcela Arbego said she has been working with TX Sprouts since last year and enjoys helping build the school gardens. “It’s important to expose kids to actually growing gardens,” Arbego said. “It’s great to see how much the kids are actually invested in this once you actually teach them about nutrition.”

By Hannah Ortega @_hannahortega_

Belly dance, a Middle Eastern art form, is often associated with seductive body rolling and hip shaking, but the new Fusion Belly Dance Club aims to challenge this stereotype. Psychology senior Gabby Wong formed the club last month with the help of two other students, biology senior Rachita Murthy and geology senior Angela Cai, when she discovered UT did not have a belly dance group. “It would be a good way for everyone to hang out and learn a different cultural aspect of dance, because I feel like a lot of people have a weird interpretation of belly dancing, where it could be taken as something sexual … and I (would) like to change that idea, that it’s just another dance style,” Wong said.

before in my other dance classes. We’re all really motivational to each other and support each other with everything. Everyone has a different body style, so everyone is good at something different.” The club currently has less than 10 members, including the three founders, and they aim to perform publicly next semester, meet twice a week and uphold close bonds between dancers. “I’m hoping it will be a club where everyone can be comfortable with each other and will have fun just trying to do stuff with belly dancing,” Cai said. Murthy said while there is a certain stigma of sexuality around belly dancing, it’s not “something to be scared of.” “It’s not what you think,” Murthy said. “People should give it a try and try to step out of their boundaries.”

Wong said fusion belly dance is belly dance for the modern age, because it incorporates various styles of contemporary movement. “A lot of people … think of shimmying and showing off fat and belly rolls,” Wong said. “But we focus more on smooth and solid movements or pop and lock type movements, which are all in hip hop or in folk dancing as well.” The club is a place for body positivity, and the style is open to everyone, Wong said. She said the accepting atmosphere differs from her past ballet and hip-hop classes, where she was often told to lose weight. The club’s emphasis on body confidence has also impacted Murthy. “After coming to the club, I’ve been more positive about viewing my body,” Murthy said. “I haven’t experienced this

bipolar

bipolar her entire life. Born in Brownsville, Texas, Garza grew up in the Rio Grande Valley and had her first manic episode in elementary school. Her episodes got worse and more frequent as the years went on. “In high school, I self medicated with alcohol,” Garza said. “I would actually bring a glass water bottle to school filled with vodka. I used to be drunk 100 percent of the time from freshman year of high school to junior year. It was really bad.” Still, Garza graduated ninth in her class thanks to the productivity of her hypomanic episodes and finally sought professional treatment in the fall of her freshman year at UT. The exact cause of bipolar is unknown, but genetics and environmental factors, such as substance abuse, stress and lack of sleep — all well-known to college freshmen — can contribute to disease onset, Fast said. “College is extremely stimulated and filled with drugs and alcohol,” Fast said. “You sort of got a chicken and an egg. So no, college does not create bi-

polar disorder, it just happens to be an environment where at the right age, plus some triggers, it is very common to have a first episode.” If left untreated, bipolar mood swings can be so intense that day-to-day life becomes nearly impossible to maintain, said Fast, who was diagnosed with rapid cycling bipolar II at the age of 31 after living for more than a decade without treatment. “I know this is boring for college (students), oh my god, but signing up for disability services and sticking to a regimented sleep program is the biggest two secrets. No question,” Fast said. To assist students diagnosed with bipolar disorder at UT, the Counseling and Mental Health Center offers both individual and group therapy for bipolar patients, as well as psychiatric services for medication-based needs, according to Katy Redd, associate director for prevention and outreach. Garza first visited the CMHC her freshman year for therapy but was then referred to a CMHC psychiatrist who diagnosed her with bipolar disorder. “The main takeaway is give us a call, and we’ll help you figure

out which of our services are a good fit for you,” Redd said. “You don’t have to call and know what you need. Just call.” Services for Students with Disabilities also offers testing and attendance accommodations to students with psychiatric disabilities, including bipolar. The UT Bipolar Center specializes in treating unstable individuals ages 16–35 with bipolar disorder, but college-aged patients will be referred to the center from CMHC depending on the severity of their symptoms, Almeida said. In the midst of making new friends and adjusting to college life, being diagnosed with a lifelong mental illness is far from easy for the college-age bipolar population. “My first year was very hard,” Garza said. “There was a whole month and a half that I didn’t go to classes at all. I would get my work done, but I just didn’t attend classes.” Mood stabilizers are used to treat people diagnosed with bipolar disorder, said Marisa Toups, psychiatry assistant professor and practicing UT Bipolar Center psychiatrist. Garza was on an antipsychotic for two years until she decided

this August to switch to another drug with significantly less side effects. After two weeks of extreme withdrawal symptoms and new side effects, Garza stopped medication and therapy completely. After two weeks, a manic episode hit. “I happened to be in Houston with a bunch of my friends when the manic hit, so I was like ‘F--k yeah!’ … You feel like nothing bad could happen to you,” Garza said. “Everything was all fun and dandy in manic world, until it fell immediately.” Garza said she then crashed into a depression rather than hitting a stable neutral, which is common after abruptly stopping medication. Bipolar has one of the highest suicide rates of any psychiatric disorder, with as many as 15 percent of those with the disorder who die by suicide, according to National Institute of Mental Health data. Garza said medication is the reason she survived her last suicide attempt in February. “I’m positive that if I wasn’t on medication, I would be dead right now,” Garza said. “Medication saved my life. It helps in a way that is incredible but also puts

you at a certain flat level.” Garza now limits her drinking to one night a week in the presence of friends. She has since returned to her therapist and plans to restart start medication soon. Through her struggles, Garza believes people with bipolar should continue to be accepting and open with others. “Don’t push people away, and don’t be ashamed,” Garza said. “It’s not your fault.”

UTPD chaplain program provides crisis support to officers By Meghan Nguyen @ultravioletmegs

Reverend Ricky Poe has dedicated his life to serving others, beginning in 1986 when he became a chaplain in Pasadena, Texas, and through his time as a youth pastor at Promiseland Church. He now continues to serve as the head of the UT Police Department Police Chaplain Program. “All of us are on call, 24/7, so if any individual needs to talk to any one of us, we’re always available,” Poe said. “That’s something unique to the chaplain program here. I figured, if I was on call personally for everyone else in my life, why couldn’t I be there for UTPD too?” The program was created with help from Poe in 2003, under then-interim Chief Terry McMahan. The program consists of Poe and three associate chaplains. The chaplains are all ordained ministers and practice different denominations. The program also has a standby list of religious leaders who celebrate different faiths.

“I think it’s critical to have a chaplain program because they can help prevent burnout,” biomedical engineering junior Megan Cadena said. “Especially for police officers, mental well-being is important because the stress they face at their jobs needs an outlet.” The basic responsibilities of the program include assisting department officials during major emergencies, disturbances, disasters and accidents. The chaplains also make presentations for the police academy, community groups and new employees about topics such as crisis intervention and stress management. “When something happens, many officers feel the responsibility to talk to somebody,” UTPD Sgt. Mitchell Bouzek said. “Chaplains are great because it’s much easier to talk to someone who you have a relationship with rather than a stranger. Another plus is that anything you’re sharing with a chaplain is confidential.” The chaplains also provide debriefing sessions, called Critical Incident

Stress Management, for officers within 48 hours after any critical incidents. The debreifing sessions are a psychological process for people coping with the aftermath of an incident. Additionally, the chaplains assist in notifying individuals about deaths. Poe said in his 15 years as a UTPD police chaplain, the one thing that has changed is UTPD officers focusing more on their mental health, rather than just their physical health. “We have seen many officers who have just needed to talk out situations and know reassurance about their lives and their faiths,” Poe said. “It’s amazing to me how many officers have needed this program.” In the future, the program will become a more visible part of the department, through chaplains participating in regular UTPD meetings and UT events such as graduations and football games. The chaplains have a specific workstation so they can be available on a regular basis. “We have 13 or 14 (police) departments within 18 entities in the UT

Austin maintains Muny lease

samantha dorisca | the daily texan staff The UT System Board Of Regents voted to extend the deadline for deciding whether they will continue to lease the Lions Municipal Golf Course to Feb. 28. The original deadline was Nov. 26.

By Neelam Bohra @_neelam_b

The UT System Board of Regents recently voted to extend the deadline for deciding whether they will continue to lease the Lions Municipal Golf Course, or Muny, to the city of Austin, following almost one decade of dispute between the two parties. The 141-acre Muny golf course was one of the first desegregated golf courses in the South and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, according to the National Park Service website. Its lease to the city expires in May. Originally, if the city or the UT System intended to cancel the lease, they had to notify the other by Nov. 26. The vote extended the notification deadline to Feb. 28, as each party continues to negotiate. “I’m pleased that both the city of Austin and UT Board of Regents approved the extension,” said State Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin, in an email. “This year, I’ve convened multiple meetings of the lead negotiators to impress upon them the looming deadlines and need for urgency on both sides.”

City Council Member Alison Alter, representing District 10 and Muny, said city officials have met with UT officials on a daily basis as they search for middle ground. “We’re looking at a range of options, including contributions from the recent bond, to looking at land swaps or taking care of infrastructure that UT cares about,” Alter said. “A whole range of things are on the table, and very little has been removed. We’re just trying to put all the puzzle pieces together.” Alter said she hopes the city can preserve the space. “I’m looking to use these negotiations to jump-start a new type of partnership with UT,” Alter said. “Historically, we have not developed a high level of collaboration and I’d like to see us collaborate on other issues that we’d have a better chance of tackling together.” The debate between developing the course and preserving it began in 2009, when UT commissioned plans to build housing and other facilities on the course. As a response, the organization Save Muny formed

in the same year and petitioned for the site to stay untouched. “The Board of Regents supports UT-Austin’s leadership in continued discussions with City of Austin officials as they work to develop a potential plan to preserve the Municipal Golf Course that is mutually beneficial,” UT System spokesperson Karen Adler said in an email. Black studies senior Joshua Ellis said one upside of developing the facility could be housing. “It has its positives and negatives,” Ellis said. “There is need for growth at UT when it comes to housing, so if there’s any positive, maybe it could be for housing. But, I’d have to see if it would be affordable for students.” However, Ellis said he hopes the city will decide to protect the course. “Anything with connections to the black community always has some kind of affinity, because there aren’t many places you can still see the history of,” Ellis said. “For there to be areas that are still preserved, knowing they exist is special in a way. It would be very sad to hear about the course going away.”

system, and I’ve been talking to the director of the UT System about introducing chaplain programs to all of them because of how much it’s really helped here (at UTPD),”

Poe said. “Presently, what I’d like to see happen for the UTPD chaplain program is for it to expand. I’d like to see more chaplains come on, of different faiths, to round out what

I’m zero waste: Here’s how I do it By Lizeth Badillo Columnist

I learned about the zero waste movement from the recommended section of YouTube. As vlogs about zero waste and minimalism popped up, my entire philosophy on life changed. Before this, I considered myself pro-Earth. I would look in disdain at news about landfills full to the brim with garbage and oceans polluted with plastic, but at the end of the day I excluded criticism from my own consumption habits and the trash I invited into my life. Similar to the majority of students, I overindulged in convenience and generated needless waste — and lots of it. The online shopping, the Chick-fil-A, the Halcyon coffee — it all contributed to a sizable trash pile. Then came zero waste. The first step I took toward zero waste was evaluating what I threw away and rethinking how I continued to eat

out and enjoy things I didn’t want to give up. The transition to a sustainable lifestyle is accessible to anyone willing to make the change, whether you live off-campus or on-campus, are an underclassmen or an alumni or are affluent or working class. If I want JuiceLand, I bring my own mason jar. If I want Chipotle, I bring my own jar and fork and compost the paper plate in a dining hall on campus. If I have leftovers, I bring a Pyrex container to take them home with me. A cloth kitchen towel has found a permanent home in my backpack to use as a napkin and double as a towel to dry my hands in the bathroom. The only thing I couldn’t find a zero waste swap for was fast food, so I just stopped buying it — something I should have done anyway. For bathroom products, I had to get a little more creative. It was easy to find alternatives for bottled shampoo and body wash, I just bought loose bar soap from the Healthy Living section in H-E-B and a shampoo bar from Lush, but

I had to experiment with DIY recipes for toothpaste and deodorant. The recipes were straightforward and cheap, and the ingredients were simple, mostly consisting of coconut oil, baking soda and an essential oil. Once I could make them without pulling up the recipe every time, it would take me less than five minutes to make them both. I got a bamboo toothbrush from Wheatsville instead of a plastic one, I use cloth pads instead of disposable ones and I make my own sea salt spray for my hair. When it comes to groceries, the items I can’t measure out into a container at the bulk sections of either H-E-B or Wheatsville, like pasta and marinara sauce, I purchase in sustainable materials that can recycle like glass or can compost like paper or carton. For produce, I use cloth bags from Wheatsville or just grab them loose without a bag. I make intentional purchases, always with sustainability in mind. I minimize the items

I purchase to things I will value for a long time for their utility and durability. If I can find them secondhand, that’s perfect. I made a complete lifestyle change, but your journey toward zero waste can take as long as you want it to. Simple swaps and conscious spending make a difference both physically and ideologically. They challenge careless consumerism and the capitalistic culture that has led us to habitat destruction and the depletion of natural resources. As environmental degradation worsens, the zero waste movement will be less seen as a radical, leftist lifestyle and instead gain validity and social relevance. We must hold ourselves accountable for what we are willing to sacrifice for convenience. We can and should do better for the environment. All it takes is a little social courage.

UT needs more counselors for survivors of sexual assault By Ashka Dighe Columnist

Survivors of sexual assault are vulnerable to emotional distress, especially immediately after the incident. Providing students with access to resources and helping them understand what steps to take next are essential to the recovery process. According to Marla Craig, associate director for Clinical Services at the Counseling and Mental Health Center, there are five crisis response counselors who assess students’ needs and direct them to the appropriate resource. CMHC has numerous resources for students, including frequent short-term counseling, but sexual assault survivors may need help beyond counseling. They may also need help understanding how a Title IX investigation works. Fatima Wahid, environmental engineering and sustainability studies junior and sexual assault survivor, said the Title IX process can be difficult to navigate and stressful for anyone involved. If a survivor is in a Title IX investigation, they can have an adviser attend all meetings with them.

Advisers can be a close friend, a family member, a professor or anyone of the survivor’s choice. Most advisers are not trained to understand the complicated process, and there are a very limited number of individuals on campus who understand the Title IX process and are trained to work with survivors. UT needs trained individuals who can serve as educated advisers to support survivors during Title IX investigations. According to the CMHC staff directory, there are only five counselors specifically trained to work with survivors and very few other counselors able to assist them. The proportion of trained counselors who could also advise is small in relation to the 18 percent of UT students who are victims of sexual assault. For Wahid, the most useful resources UT provided her were not through Title IX or CMHC. Wahid said her conversations with confidential advocate Bree Van Ness were most beneficial. Confidential advocates such as Van Ness are trained to work with survivors and provide them with the resources, education and support they need to handle their trauma. Van Ness has been an adviser to several

students going through Title IX investigations. We need more Brees at the University, Wahid said. “Overall, it just gives the energy that sexual assaults aren’t that deserving of help or aren’t that important,” said Alyssa, a government sophomore and sexual assault survivor. “There’s a key lack of support offered to sexual assault survivors that should exist within the University and especially within CMHC.” UT and CMHC are not providing vulnerable students with the appropriate resources to help them recover from their trauma. UT needs to provide more trained individuals, such as the confidential advocates, for students going through the Title IX process and recovery. They are qualified to serve as both counselors and advisers for survivors who may be considering opening a formal Title IX investigation. While the University works hard to give students support, it needs to do a better job of offering them the right type of support. When there are so few properly trained individuals, an already difficult situation becomes worse for those seeking guidance. Dighe is a Plan II and neuroscience sophomore from Houston.

Library promotes local artists Austin Public Library debuts Electric Lady Bird streaming site for Austin musicians. By Noah Van Hooser @TofuVan

espite the fact that Austin has garnered attention for its eclectic music scene, many unique acts don’t get an opportunity to make their mark. Austin Public Library’s newest initiative is hoping to change that. The Library is introducing Electric Lady Bird, a streaming service native to the its website, which promotes commercial-free, curated music streaming exclusively from homegrown artists. Of individual acts’ submissions, 50 albums or EPs will be selected for Austin’s music sphere to consume. Dale Kittendorf has been selecting music for libraries for nearly 20 years. As Sight & Sound Curator for the Austin Public Library, Kittendorf makes media purchases for the library system. Heading the Electric Lady Bird project, Kittendorf said the inspiration for the project was to address complications for the Library in acquiring media. “Collecting music has always been a standard practice for libraries, but seeking local media in this way is new,” Kittendorf said. “Getting into licensing, it becomes difficult as a librarian keeping up with physical copies of media. In that way, (the streaming service) is a great approach in regard to building a collection for the Library.” Artists interested in contributing to the collection are encouraged to upload one to three full-length tracks representative of their work. Those selected for streaming will be awarded $200 and grant the Library the right to stream their album or EP for a three-year period. Choosing from the pool of submissions will be a panel of jurors, who will make decisions based on fixed criterion

such as recording quality, general musicianship, songwriting and the degree of locality. The panel will consist of 12 individuals spanning the Austin music industry, from a former Radiohead publicist to the president of a local record pressing plant, Gold Rush Vinyl. “Diversity is a focal point for us,” Kittendorf said. “We want to represent everything the Austin music scene has to offer.” One of those curators is Terrany Johnson, an Austin-native and indie musician who has released over 20 independent albums under the name Tee-Double. Johnson also channels experience from serving on the advisory board for the Austin Music Foundation, Black Fret and as a former nominee for the Austin Music Awards Hall of Fame. Johnson said the platform is a necessity for an ever-changing industry. “In the new digital age, artists need even more outlets beyond traditional retail,” Johnson said. “(The streaming service) is just another important step for artists caught up in the mix to

It will expand Austin’s reach as a music mecca.” For music enthusiasts, the service caters to demands for more obscure talent. Deepan Barma, a biochemistry freshman and library patron, said he plans to explore the service upon release. “Austin residents are in need of something like this,” Barma said. “Many people don’t take the time to explore the more niche, DIY corners of Austin’s music scene. This affords everyone that chance.” The service is anticipated to launch in early 2019, when audiences may stream the collection 24/7 uninterrupted. For those involved, the project’s culmination marks a significant moment for artists. “I’m pleased to add my voice along with other curators,” Johnson said. “We look forward to creating a space for artists who have otherwise been overlooked by larger media.”

Longhorns take care of business

andre fernandez | the daily texan staff Texas guard Danni Williams attempts to drive past a defender during the Longhorns’ 98-54 victory against the UTSA Roadrunners on Nov. 28 at the Frank Erwin Center. Williams’ 22 points during the contest led all scorers.

Texas shrugs off slow start, moves past UTSA to maintain perfect start. By Stephen Wagner @stephenwag22

he Frank Erwin Center had a different atmosphere than its usual antagonizing college-student crowd on Wednesday morning. Texas welcomed more than 6,800 fourth through seventh grade field trip attendees as a part of a record-setting 9,495 fans in the eighth annual 40 Acres Field Trip game. “(We) really appreciate the young guys that were here today and the energy they gave the Erwin Center and to our

players,” Aston said. “It would be absolutely wonderful if that gym looked like that every time we played.” But while an energetic young crowd created the loudest environment the Longhorns have played in so far this season, that energy didn’t carry over to an exhausted Texas team, playing their fourth game in six days. Texas got off to a sluggish start against the UTSA Roadrunners, a team Texas has typically dismantled in recent years, including a 120-70 thrashing last year. But, as this season is slowly proving, this isn’t last year’s team, in terms of both identity and personnel. Coming off a hard-earned and costly victory at the Gulf Coast Showcase, the depleted Longhorns struggled to find a rhythm early in the game. And a tenacious Roadrunner squad kept things interesting through the first quarter, holding Texas’ lead to only nine points. The Roadrunners’ second-year head coach Kristen

Holt was pleased with the fight her team had in them to start the game, something she felt they had been lacking in recent years. “We’ve come into (the Frank Erwin Center) and had very poor starts at times. But our players came out, and we knew what we were up against. I thought they played hard, I thought they played focused, they executed well,” Holt said. On the flip side, head coach Karen Aston was frustrated with how the first quarter went for the Longhorns. “Maybe four games in six or seven days was what today was about, but I didn’t think we had the type of energy or connection that it’s going to take as we move forward in the next couple of games,” Aston said after the game. However, the Roadrunners’ success was short-lived. Behind the long-anticipated sharpshooting of Danni Williams and a somewhat surprising contribution from the scrappy Audrey Warren, Texas managed to pull

away by halftime, taking a 5029 lead into the break. “I know that I’m not here to make every play, but to make every play that I can,” Warren said after her third start as a Longhorn. “That energy is something I know I can always bring to the table. I know that everything is just going to come along with that, offensively especially.” UTSA was unable to match the Longhorns’ athleticism and length in the second half, as Texas outscored its opponent by a walloping 30-9 margin in the third quarter, before maintaining that lead in the fourth en route to a 98-54 victory. The Longhorns’ next challenge will be against juggernaut Mississippi State, a team ranked No. 6 in the country after coming off a national championship appearance. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. Sunday at the Frank Erwin Center as the Longhorns welcome their first ranked opponent of the season.

Ready to go: Texas prepares to host first round of NCAA tournament By Keshav Prathivadi @kpthefirst

Things seem to roll flawlessly through a dress rehearsal. But it often doesn’t work out perfectly when it’s showtime. That’s the situation Texas, the fifth-overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, is in after tearing through its conference schedule with a 15–1 record. Now, right at the start of volleyball’s biggest stage, the Longhorns find themselves just short of their season goal after a near-perfect dress rehearsal. With the fifth-overall seed in the tournament, the Longhorns were just a spot shy of hosting their region of the tournament leading up to the Final Four. Instead, they’ll host the first two rounds with Texas having just faced one of the other three teams coming to Austin. “I told them (my players) that if they don’t have nerves then there’s something wrong,” head coach Jerritt Elliott said. “If they’re not having butterflies going into this then I’m concerned … it’s part of being an athlete. They all have nerves, you want them to have nerves.” Texas has four freshmen who are a part of Elliott’s heavy rotation. Despite the youth in this year’s team, the squad has been able to hit its stride and patch up its rough spot. And the Longhorns’ newcomers aren’t completely new to a big stage.

Outside hitter Logan Eggleston played for three state championships as a high schooler, coming to Texas following the conclusion of her junior year. Libero Sydney Petersen and setter Jhenna Gabriel both have experience as All-Americans and All-State players. “Here, it’s a little bit bigger,” Eggleston said. “There’s a lot more teams and a lot more competition … I’m nervous, but also excited at the same time.” The list can go on and on, but all that matters is whether Texas can take care of business when push comes to shove against Stephen F. Austin and any other game after that. With the talent and overall advantage, Elliott says his toughest challenge is keeping his players from looking past opponents. “The biggest mistake people make as coaches is that you think you have to be perfect in the NCAA Tournament.” Elliott said. “You just have to find a way to win that night.” Stephen F. Austin comes in with a 32–2 record, having won 29 straight games with its last loss coming nearly three months ago. Along with this impressive record comes the fact that this will be the first time Texas will be facing SFA in over 12 years. Apart from Texas’ strong record and statistics, the team’s morale for the tournament opener trumps almost anything that’s happened before this

point in the season. And there’s no question that the Longhorns are using motivation from both internal and external factors to top last year’s finish. Two months ago, Texas’ loss to Stanford, the nation’s top-ranked squad, exposed the Longhorns’ issues in serving

and blocking, forcing them to address their glaring issues. Now, 16 games later, Texas is peaking at just the right time but still recognizes the need to improve. The Longhorns have already achieved one of their goals this season: winning the conference.

Starting Thursday, Texas will go after its second and penultimate goal — a national title. “We break it up into three seasons” Elliott said. “(We have the preseason and Big 12 play) and now it’s the NCAA Tournament. Players come here to be a part of it and get ready to go

to battle.” The first round of the NCAA Tournament kicks off Thursday at Gregory Gym. Rice will face Texas State at 4 p.m. before the Longhorns play host to Stephen F. Austin at 7 p.m. The winners of both games will face off on Friday, Nov. 30, at 8 p.m.
