UTLA director continues in role despite sexual misconduct 2013 report outlines inappropriate touching, comments. By Katie Balevic @KatelynBalevic

T Los Angeles director Phil Nemy was found guilty of sexual misconduct by a University investigation in June 2013. Five years later, Nemy is still the director of UTLA. The allegations against his included nonconsensual touching and inappropriate

sexual comments directed at female students. The Office of Institutional Equity’s 2013 report, obtained by The Daily Texan through a public information request, recommended the University consider taking action to prevent further incidents. As of press time, Nemy could not be reached for comment, despite calls to three different phone numbers and one request via email. University spokesman J.B. Bird said Nemy received counseling after the investigation. “He was reprimanded and received counseling consistent with the University’s approach at the time,” Bird said in a statement to the Texan. “Had this situation occurred to-

day, the University might have responded differently, given changing norms and the University’s evolution in responding to such incidents. This is an area where we continue to seek improvement. We encourage students to report inappropriate behavior, and we take such reports seriously.” In its investigation, the office interviewed four former female students of the UTLA program and a member of the UTLA staff. The names of the participants of the investigation were redacted before being sent to the Texan. One former female student said she avoided Nemy because he flirted with students and made them uncomfortable, according to the report. “The student states she has

heard some girls complain about him touching them, lingering with his hands on them and making them feel uncomfortable,” the report said. “However, the student did recall one incident where another female student directly told her that Mr. Nemy had licked the other female student’s hand.” At a beach party for UTLA students, Nemy made several lewd comments to female students, according to the report. One former female student said that as she changed from a shirt into a sweatshirt, Nemy said, “No one would mind if you stayed in a bikini.” The same student said Nemy approached another student who was adjusting her shirt and said, “Are you looking at your boobs because everyone else is doing that for you.”

Students in the UTLA program spend a semester in Los Angeles taking courses and participating in internships. Nemy has been director of the program since 2005 and teaches an internship course that meets several times a semester. The office began the investigation on June 24, 2013, after the Moody College of Communication received a complaint from a former UT-Austin employee. The former employee said Nemy made sexual comments toward students, allowed students to consume alcohol at UTLA-sanctioned events and drank with students, all in direct conflict with University policies. As part of the investigation, the office sent Nemy the complaints from the former em-

ployee. In July 2013, Nemy submitted a 12-page response. “To my knowledge, I have never made an inappropriate comment or joke towards any of the women attending the program,” Nemy said. “There have been times when female students have attended my class dressed in skimpy clothing making it difficult to teach the class … I may have commented to (redacted) about this and how their choice of dress made it difficult for me to lead class. If it is inappropriate to say that to (redacted), then I am guilty of this.” Nemy denied allegations of drinking with students. Another former female student said there were several

UTPD district representative shares daily job duties 7:00 a.m.

By Meghan Nguyen @ultravioletmegs

Officer Dustin Farahnak used to spend countless nights studying on the UT campus as a law student. Now, as a district representative for the UT Police Department, Farahnak is in charge of keeping students on the same 40 Acres safe. District representatives are UTPD officers assigned to specific areas to engage directly with the community. As a representative for District 2, Farahnak patrols an area that stretches from Speedway to Guadalupe Street, which includes the Perry-Castañeda Library, the Blanton Museum of Art and West Mall. Because his district borders West Campus, Farahnak also spends some time there. “The basic concept underlying a district (representative) is communication,” Farahnak said. “District reps provide a lot of communication to the community and in a couple of forms, through the email system and by giving presentations to the University community.” A typical day for Farahnak includes patrol duties, responding to service calls and communicating with students and staff.

5:55 a.m.

Farahnak finds the night shift patrol officer and asks him for an update. Farahnak then gets into his patrol vehicle and conducts a basic inspection of his equipment.

6:00 a.m.

Farahnak begins patrolling his district. “Staff and students are nine out of 10 of the people I interact with,” Farahnak said. “I’m on day shift, so I interact with a lot of students who are studying. I do try to cover West Campus pretty well as well. I know a lot of the homeless in that community and I talk to them try to make sure that we’re on each other’s radar. I think that that avoids a lot of problems down the road.”

Farahnak rewards himself with a cup of coffee and begins doing his “homework,” which consists of checking Tableau, a site used by UTPD for crime statistics, writing the latest Campus Watch report and checking his emails.

8:00 a.m. – 3:55 p.m.

Farahnak shifts back to his patrol duties and responds to calls for service. “That’s what I love about my job,” Farahnak said. “You never know what those calls are going to be today. It could be a mental health call, it could be a serious crime, it could be a drunk driver. It’s almost like an adventure every day.”

4:00 p.m.

Farahnak thinks about duties to give to night shift officers. He finishes his police reports for the day and ensures they’re approved by his supervisor. 5:45 p.m. Farahnak meets with the night shift officers about his concerns. “The best thing law enforcement can improve on is communication,” Farahnak said. “Right now we need to make sure that our community and our fellow officers can talk to us … All the district representative program really does is take what a good beat cop already does and make it a little more accessible, with better communication and more consistency.”

Bills proposed to loosen marijuana regulations

Project SEED researches health in bilingual homes

By Chad Lyle @lylechad

By Sara Schleede

In a state historically strict when it comes to marijuana use and possession, two Texas state lawmakers have proposed bills designed to soften that stance. Rep. Joe Moody, a Democrat from District 78, is seeking to change the penalty for those caught in possession of small amounts of marijuana. Currently, anyone possessing less than two ounces risks being charged with a Class B criminal misdemeanor. Moody’s proposition, House Bill 63, would remove the possibility of criminal prosecution from those caught with less than an ounce of marijuana, recategorizing it as a civil offense. “We’re just taking this out of the criminal arena,” Moody said. “It’s still not lawful, but we’re not going to create a criminal history. We’re not going to arrest you, we’re not going to take you to jail, you’re not going to go to the criminal court system. We’re going to have you pay a fine, and if you’re unable to pay a fine, you can do community service.” Moody said the current laws surrounding marijuana possession disproportionately

Project SEED has been tracking the emotional, social, physical and educational health of Mexican children who translate for their Spanish-speaking parents since 2006. Now in its third wave, the project studies more than 600 families from the Austin area. A child is defined as a language broker when they have translated something for their parents at least once in the past three months. Children may need to translate anything from medical documents to phone calls to handouts or emails from their school. “It’s a large population of people that this is affecting, and there’s not a lot being done at this moment, and not a lot is even known,” said Jordan Mendez, student research assistant for Project SEED. “It’s important to start getting these results now so we can start working toward change.” Su Yeong Kim, human development and family sciences professor, started Project SEED after noticing the

textbooks she read rarely included narratives about those experiencing language barriers. Kim grew up in Los Angeles, but both of her parents emigrated from South Korea, and she often served as their language broker. “When students feel like their experiences aren’t represented in textbooks, they may not feel visible,” Kim said. “I really wanted to change that perspective and do research on a population that is almost invisible.” Student research assistant Vanessa Ruiz said language brokering can be difficult due to the large amount of vocabulary the child must understand in two languages in addition to the potential emotional impact. “If your entire home life is based around Spanish and the entire Mexican culture, it can be hard to fit in as well in the (United States),” undeclared sophomore Ruiz said. The study has found language brokering can make children from adverse communities feel alienated or burdened, which worsens their social, emotional and educational health. However,

Students petition for ethical meat sourcing By Emily Hernandez @emilylhernandez

While many Austin residents recognize Whole Foods Market as an environmentally friendly grocery chain, a group of UT students is asking the store to stop what they call environmentally destructive practices. The students were recruited by McWholeFoods, a national grassroots campaign led by global environmental group Mighty Earth. The campaign calls for Whole Foods and McDonald’s to stop sourcing meat from Tyson Foods and Cargill, which they said are two large contributors of water pollution and deforestation. McWholeFoods was brought to Austin by campaign organizer Lucas Judson, who was contracted from Green Corps, an environmental training program. “We’re trying to convince Whole Foods and McDonald’s to first, be transparent about where they source their meat, and then also, to adopt clear standards so when we shop at either of those places, we know where our meat is coming from and the impact it’s having,” Judson said. As of publication time, Whole Foods Market and

During the 201718 academic year, the Counseling and Mental Health Center saw increases in the total number of students served and the number of students served for individual counseling. According to statistics released Wednesday, the CMHC served a total of 6,890 students last academic year, 6,012 of who received individual counseling. The number of students served for individual counseling increased by more than 500 students compared to 2016-17. Katy Redd, CMHC associate director for prevention and outreach, said demand for CMHC services usually increases near the end of every semester. “We have a normal increase that we see typically towards the end of each long semester,” Redd said. “It’s not necessarily related to the change in season,

it can also make those from adverse communities feel empowered, leading to an overall positive effect on their health, Kim said. “It’s a lot to juggle not only two languages, but relay important information to your parents,” said Mendez, health promotion and behavioral science junior. “But, even if the results show otherwise, a lot of them will say, ‘No, it doesn’t bother me.’” Research assistants make home visits or invite families to campus, where middle schoolers and high schoolers perform translating tasks. The children then report

more related to the end of the semester — finals, people preparing for transition either going home or internship or job or graduating, depending on the semester.” This spring, CMHC saw a spike in demand for services after UT President Gregory Fenves announced that individual counseling services would be free, The Daily Texan reported. Computer science senior James Graham said he tried to sign up for individual counseling early this spring, but was told there was no availability. CMHC suggested additional options such as group counseling and off-campus resources, Graham said. “I don’t know how much of that was literal office space availability or availability of hiring, but there was definitely a restriction on what services I would have gotten,” Graham said. In addition to serving more students for

their emotional state, and researchers also take hair or saliva samples to monitor cortisol levels, which indicate stress. Kim said the information from the study may eventually help develop intervention programs that would teach families how to make the translation role less burdensome on children. She said immigrants make up the fabric of American society, and it is important to research their well-being as anti-immigration rhetoric rises. “If we are at risk, we have an obligation as members of societies to make sure they are doing just as well as native-born kids, and we can’t do that without research,” Kim said.

McDonald’s had not responded to The Daily Texan’s request for comment. Judson recruited five UT students to lead the movement on campus by writing letters to local newspapers, getting petition signatures and phone banking students and local companies. He said about 20 students have participated in two rallies organized by the campaign, including psychology freshman Jamie Rule, who gave a speech at a rally in front of Whole Foods in downtown Austin. “Whole Foods was formed with ideas of being sustainable and having community members creating food to be brought back to the table instead of large corporations,” Rule said. “We’re not against Whole Foods — we’re with them. We’re urging them on to make more sustainable choices with their meat supply chain, particularly.” Judson said he planned to have a third rally in December after Mighty Earth was set to release a report about Cargill’s facilities, but the report and event were pushed until January to fact-check the report.

Due to the pressure of graduating on time, students sometimes have to take heavy course loads to complete their degree plan on time. University Extension online self-paced courses can help students ease this pressure. Students can register for an extension course any time during the year. Once enrolled in an extension course, students can access all the class materials online and have up to five months to complete the coursework. After that, the student requests a final exam and must take it within 30 days. Most extension courses count toward UT degree requirements, including basic core requirements such as world literature, Texas government and United States history. Michael Raney, University Extension academic adviser, said these courses work well for students

trying to graduate early or those who want to stay on track while away from campus on break or for other reasons. Extension courses cost between $350 and $1100. “Students with busy schedules will appreciate the convenience and flexibility of (extension) selfpaced online courses,” Raney said. To graduate on time, psychology senior Katheryn Toy completed two extension courses during the summer following her transfer to UT. Feeling comfortable with self-paced learning, Toy decided to take additional extension courses the following semesters. “I’m very much a night person and this makes it easy for me to go camp out at a 24-hour coffee shop and burn through a lot of work in the evenings,” Toy said. “I generally feel less stressed by them and usually get higher grades in them.” English senior Alexandra Villegas said she

cannot graduate on time unless she completes an extension course this upcoming winter break. However, she said she has not yet decided if she will be taking one. “I’m a little intimidated by these types of courses,” Villegas said. “My concerns have to do with me not knowing how this works and which professors will run the course and grade my things.” Toy said students interested in extension courses should find the syllabus before enrolling. Extension courses can vary on the time commitment and format, and it is important for people to consider their study habits in advance, Toy said. “It is up to you to make sure you don’t slip too far behind while you’re busy with other things,” Toy said. “If you feel confident in these aspects and also enjoy working at your own speed, I definitely recommend taking online courses.”

Beyond the football field and the basketball court, UT is lagging behind Texas A&M University in at least one regard this holiday season: food donations. Throughout November, the UT and Texas A&M’s sports clubs competed to collect the most food donations for struggling students in their communities. The unofficial final count of food donations this year is about 45,000 ounces for UT and 114,000 ounces for A&M. Chad Zimmerman, UT sport clubs assistant director, said it is likely the final count will vary little from the unofficial count. The UT food drive was hosted by the UT Sports Clubs Association Council, an advisory group for the sport clubs program. “The food drive came along as a way to give back to the community while also being a part of this Aggie-Longhorn challenge,” the council’s president Domenica Sutherland said.

We’re all just incredibly lucky to be able to give back and be in a position to help others.” CHRISTINA LEWANDOWSKI A&M SPORTS CLUBS OFFICER

Sutherland, an exercise science and athletic care senior, said while she is thankful for the food drive she would prefer more students had donated. “I do wish more students were aware of (the food drive),” Sutherland said. “It may just be that some people aren’t aware of it because they don’t need it. It’s better for us to get involved with things … to help classmates that we don’t know are struggling and need food.” For the first time, all donated food will be given to the food pantry at UT Outpost, which first opened in

May 2018. UT Outpost coordinator Will Ross said UT Outpost is dedicated to making sure students in the UT community are well taken care of beyond the holiday giving season. “We have food drives going on throughout the year,” Ross said. “This is done on the mindset that the whole University cares, and they care year-round. It’s the campus holistically, including faculty and alumni helping. I’m not a Longhorn, but to be able to support Longhorns is awesome and huge.” Christina Lewandowski, the fundraising officer for A&M’s Sports Clubs Executive Committee, said she is grateful that both universities will go to great lengths to support their students. “We’re all just incredibly lucky to be able to give back and be in a position to help others,” said Lewandowski, a human resource development senior at A&M. “I know that 45,000 ounces of food is going to go so far for so many people, and that’s just such as blessing.”

student said there were several instances where Nemy made inappropriate comments and left his hands on other students’ shoulders “entirely too long,” but she said she was not a witness to these events. “He made inappropriate comments to several of the girls, including some that were sexual in nature,” the report said. “He usually played it off as being a joke, but it was really offensive and quite Efrankly gross.” One of the students said when she told Nemy that she got an internship with an agency, Nemy asked if she saw the other interviewees, according to the report. “He then went on to say that she was probably more attractive than the others and that’s why she got the job,” the report said. “He also said that because she was more attractive, she would go further in Hollywood. Mr. Nemy said this in front of the whole class, and she felt it was inappropriate.” The office also interviewed a member of UTLA staff, who

handling the responsibility of prescribing marijuana. “We don’t have a compelling legislative purpose to be limiting doctors on what they’re going to treat,” Menéndez said. “They go to medical school, they get licensed, we should trust them like we trust them to prescribe other very strong narcotics that can be lethal. This one plant has never been proven to have anybody die from an overdose or develop an addiction.” Government professor David Prindle said he thinks legislators may be more open to loosening marijuana laws in the spring because the substance doesn’t have the same stigma that it

used to. “It used to be thought that first you’ll try marijuana, then you’ll try heroin, then you become a criminal in every other way. And people don’t think that anymore,” Prindle said. “Forty years ago marijuana was a symbol of something, and to be against marijuana was a whole cultural stance. I don’t think it’s that way anymore. Marijuana is no longer a symbol of whatever it was it used to symbolize.” The bills proposed by Moody and Menéndez will be considered when the Texas Legislature begins its 86th session on Jan. 8.

Extend the Q-drop deadline, expand academic opportunities By Arushi Mathavan Columnist

As finals season creeps up, UT students scramble to save their GPAs. Students flood libraries and outdoor study spaces to prepare for final exams all while worrying about passing classes. Students are permitted six Q-drops without academic penalty throughout their time at UT, but there is only a one-time exception for dropping classes after the drop deadline. A student’s GPA can be a significant factor in their future. Students in certain majors and honors programs need to maintain a minimum GPA to stay in their chosen program, and many scholarships also depend on a minimum GPA requirement for students to maintain eligibility. The academic future of countless Longhorns relies on their GPA, and Q-drops enable students to drop classes that will detrimentally affect their GPA. The mid-semester deadline for Q-drops is too early for many students to accurately determine their academic standing. The UT Office of the Registrar needs to extend the deadline by a couple weeks into the semester. This way, students don’t have to unnecessarily use their one-time exception because they wil have had adequate time to

accurately gauge their decision to drop a class. The deadline for students to apply their one-time exception Q-drop is the last day of class, this year on Dec. 10. Once students use this Q-drop, they are not allowed to drop any other class for academic reasons past the deadline in the rest of their time at UT.

The mid-semester deadline for Q-drops is too early for many students to accurately determine their academic standing.”

Nov. 1 was the official deadline for students to drop a class for academic purposes, but for students like undeclared freshman Kenyan Mortensen, this deadline came far too early. “I didn’t have time to realize that I could not handle my chemistry class, and since I missed the deadline, I had to use my one-time exception Q-drop,” Mortensen said. “We had a midterm four days after Nov. 1, so I did not have an accurate picture of how I was doing in the class so

early in the semester.” Mortensen also said her grades were otherwise high As and Bs, and the progressively difficult exams and assignments following Nov. 1 demonstrated the harsher demands of her class. “There’s not enough time to know how you’re doing, because you’ve only finished the first half of the semester, and the second half is generally much harder,” Mortensen said. “A later Q-drop deadline would help students understand where they are academically and give them time to fix it.” “Supporting the success of our students is a top priority,” said Kendall Slagle, communications coordinator for the UT Office of Executive Vice President and Provost. “We encourage students to speak with their professors if concerns arise around understanding of class material, progress or success in a particular class, and to meet with their academic advisers about what resources are available for their specific class.” The Nov. 1 Q-drop deadline is far too early for students to determine their academic standing, and UT should extend to the middle or end of November in order to help students maintain their GPA and status in prestigious programs or necessary scholarships.

Five out of 38. That’s how many full-time female professors are currently employed by UT’s Mechanical Engineering department. As a field of STEM that already struggles to incorporate women, the fact that women make up less than 13 percent of the teaching staff doesn’t demonstrate progress in the right direction. Although the University encourages women to take part in STEM majors through various programs, it is important to reflect that gender inclusivity in the departments themselves. The gender distribution of professors should not be this heavily skewed, and UT should prioritize hiring more female professors to increase female representation in STEM. Specifically, the mechanical engineering field could use improvements and further gender inclusivity. Only around 24 percent of undergraduates enrolled in mechanical engineering are women. Because STEM fields already have a heavy male presence in student population, it is essential that the professional staff is not also male-dominated. This can further discourage girls from pursuing engineering. With only five full-time female professors, there are few figures for undergraduate women to look up to as role models or mentorship. Jacqueline Kelly, a mechanical engineering freshman, said women in STEM fields often face microaggressions that can lead to them doubting their own abilities. “Some girls that I know don’t want to go into higher academia, because it seems like the higher up you get, the worse the stigma is,” Kelly said. “If young women don’t see that there are successful women in the field, they might be discouraged from pursuing it.” Kelly, who has previously participated in outreach projects for women in STEM, said having more women in positions of authority and representing higher academia within the department would provide the encouragement and role models female students need. “Women can offer a different perspective in all fields, even STEM, and the female gender needs to be better represented in the (mechanical engineering) department,” Kelly said. “We should be able to see successful women and strive to achieve as much as them.” UT provides organizations, such as the Women in Mechanical Engineering group, to encourage girls to pursue engineering, but the real impact starts with the department itself. The department and authoritative figures should reflect what they are encouraging and show women that they can strive to be as successful as their professors. Without gender inclusivity, students will not see women working in the field on a daily basis. Adela Ben-Yakar, a mechanical engineering professor, said that having more women professors can make female students feel more welcome and supported. “When I was hired, I chose UT-Austin because it had more female faculty than other schools,” Ben-Yakar said. “But even here (at UT) we still have a lot of work to do to try to hire more female faculty within this department. We need to increase these numbers so that female students feel that this profession is feasible to do and that they have a good support system.” When hiring staff, particularly in STEM fields, the University needs to be conscientious of gender representation. The statistics must be improved from as low a number as 13 percent. It is up to the University to recognize the issue and work to make changes. In the meantime, women in STEM can find resources in smaller, women-centric groups based on their college. “Without more female faculty, female students don’t get to see all of the possibilities for them,” Ben-Yakar said. “If there were more women professors to provide examples and role models in mechanical engineering, female students would feel more empowered to pursue and achieve their dreams and goals.” Female students in mechanical engineering deserve the guidance of more female faculty — the lack thereof is an issue that must be recognized and addressed so that women are encouraged to contribute to STEM fields.

Q&A

‘Ralph Breaks the Internet’ is Disney Animations’ latest hit. The Daily Texan spoke with one of the writers behind the ambitious sequel, UT alumna Pamela Ribon.

UT alumna pens Disney film Pamela Ribon shares insight on writing for the sequel to ‘Wreck-ItRalph’

Our demographic is every single person in the whole wide world, but you try not to let that be so daunting.”

By Savannah Salazer @savannahjai

PA M E L A R I B O N

SCREENWRITER AND UT ALUMNA

alph Breaks the Internet” is the sequel to the 2012 hit “WreckIt Ralph.” The latest installment follows the lovable duo Ralph and Vanellope as they venture from Litwak’s arcade to the Internet. While Ralph is the titular character, the sequel focuses more on the small, energetic racer Vanellope, exploring life changes and friendships in an all too honest way. One of the writers behind the ambitious, yet sincere sequel is

Pamela Ribon, a UT alumna. Ribon has worked on numerous projects including a novel, comic books and plays. Ribon is also the brains behind the iconic princess scene as well as Snow White’s voice actress in “Ralph Breaks the Internet.” Along with revamping the princesses for the sequel, Ribon previously worked on “Moana,” helping usher in a new era of strong Disney princesses. To say that her resume is impressive is an understatement.

The Daily Texan spoke with Ribon about co-writing “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” her iconic princess scene and some of her favorite UT moments. Daily Texan: This movie tackles a lot of topics universal to adults and kids. When you’re writing these stories, are you conscious of writing for both kids and adults? Pamela Ribon: We don’t really think of these things as kids’ movies. We think of them as movies. Our demographic is every single person in the whole wide world, but you try not to let that be so daunting. You start by sharing your own stories, vulnerabilities and insecurities to each other. I also often try to think about what is a story I wish I had gotten to see when I was younger, or something I would have liked to learn about a bit earlier. DT: Let’s talk about the princess scene. From before you pitched the idea, following up to the release, you were nervous about everyone’s reactions to it. Now that the movie has been seen by a wide general audience, how has the response made you feel?

PR: You know, now it seems equal-

ly impossible that it exists. There were so many ways it could have not worked or been cut. It’s just so cool, and everyone got on board and made it so special. I don’t know if lightning in a bottle is the right phrase for it, but I’m aware of how vulnerable that piece is. I’m so grateful that everyone loved it like we all did when we first started working on it. DT: What advice would you give to students hoping to act, screenwrite or anything else in the entertainment industry? PR: Do stuff all the time. Make things and not just stuff that people respond to, but start figuring out the audience you write for. Figure out what stuff feels like you, because that’s your voice. I submitted a play when I was at UT and the coverage I got back said ‘Funny, but lacks a point of view.’ I was like ‘agh’ but started thinking, ‘What is that?’ I hadn’t really thought about what it was that I was trying to say besides the fact that I wanted it to be funny. So, I began working on that next layer, and here I am.

BASKETBALL

Longhorns’ slump continues Sloppy shooting night spoils strong defensive performance for Texas. By Robert Larkin @r_larkintexas

ourtney Ramey crouched to his knees on the court in disappointment while Matt Coleman lifted his jersey to his face and shook his head. And as VCU’s entire bench rushed the court in jubilation after the victory, all head coach Shaka Smart could do was walk toward the scorer’s table to digest his third consecutive loss. Despite having two open three-point attempts in the final minute to take the lead, including one from Coleman at the top of the arc as time expired, the Longhorns were unable to convert down the stretch, dropping a tight 54-53 contest to Smart’s former team. “We haven’t played with the same confidence and when the games have been close, we haven’t made the big plays we need to make,” Smart said. “It’s not like our guys haven’t tried hard. If a game is close, and a team gets 17 offensive rebounds and you turn the ball over 18 times — it’s tough.” While Texas outshot VCU 42 to 28 percent from the field and doubled the Rams’ assist total, the Longhorns lost in key areas that cost Smart’s team the game, including total rebounds, turnovers and free throw shooting. Those troubles began in the opening minutes Wednesday night, as sloppiness and poor offense struck both teams. Texas broke through VCU’s half-court

pressure on defense with forward Kamaka Hepa finding the open corner on consecutive possessions, drilling two three-pointers to give the Longhorns a 14-12 lead at the under-12 timeout. Both teams endured poor offensive stretches while Texas’ defense held the Rams to 26 percent from the field in the first half, and two costly turnovers by the Longhorns in the final two minutes gifted VCU a 32-31 lead at halftime. After slow offensive play from both sides to start the second

half, a shift in the game’s energy finally came with 9:14 remaining. Forward Jaxson Hayes came off the bench and provided an impact with a high-flying dunk and a converted layup through contact. A possession later, forward Dylan Osetkowski energized a quiet Frank Erwin Center when he soared over a defender to put back a layup attempt, giving Texas a 49-45 lead. But the Longhorns’ energy ignited a response from VCU, using a poor offensive stretch

from Texas to compile a 7-0 run, capped by a three from forward Sean Mobley to claim a 52-49 lead. Sims closed the gap for the Longhorns a minute later, sinking a nifty hook from inside the free throw line to cut the deficit to one. VCU guard Issac Vann, however, converted a pair of free throws at the other end to regain a 54-51 lead. Guard Kerwin Roach II converted a lay up a few moments later. But his basket would be the

last one the Longhorns would claim. After guard Courtney Ramey missed an open threepoint attempt with 40 seconds left, Matt Coleman had one final opportunity to clinch the game as time expired. But his attempt clanked off the rim, sealing the loss. “I mean that’s we work on, one more pass,” Coleman said. “(They’re) great shots, we just have to knock them down.” As the Longhorns met in their locker room, the roars of fans clad in gold and black chanting

“V-C-U” rang through the tunnels of the Frank Erwin Center. And while one side roared, Texas fans walked out in dejection, left wondering if their fourth-year head coach will find a way to pick up the pieces. “I feel like Shaka is feeling the pain we’re all feeling,” Roach said. “We all want to win bad, we just have to follow the process. It’s a long journey, it’s a long season both individually and as a team. As a team, we just have to come closer together.”

Shop Swayy provides interactive online shopping experience By Celesia Smith @celsmit

For those struggling to find the perfect music festival garb, interview ensemble or game day outfit, Swayy has come to the rescue. In October 2017, then-sophomores Rajya Atluri and Clio Harralson founded Swayy, an online platform that offers a curated shopping experience for outfit-sensitive events such as themed parties, study abroad trips and internships. The website offers a wide selection of clothing separated by theme, each item personally selected for collections by Atluri and Harralson. Atluri, now a business honors and Plan II junior, said that the idea for Swayy came from hearing her friends’ frustration about the different events they had to attend and shop for. “(They said) that it was annoying to have to go to all these different websites and find everything,” Atluri said. “I remember thinking, ‘I wish there was just one website to find everything that I wanted and was geared specifically toward college women.’” Atluri got together with Harralson, a Plan II and management information systems junior to discuss the issue. At the time, both were in an entrepreneurial management class. Harralson said that the class material aided in their journey to found Swayy.

“It was definitely helpful to be in an environment where we learned all the steps on how to think of an idea, how to develop it and how to actually act on having that idea,” Harralson said. “It gave us the confidence to just put the product out there and see how it did.” Douglas Hannah, the professor of Atluri and Harralson’s entrepreneurship class, said that this sort of tenacity is exactly what he hopes to instill in his students. “I want my students to walk away with the confidence that they can build world-changing ideas, innovations and organizations and the tools to make them a reality business,” assistant professor Hannah said. A year later, Atluri and Harralson certainly have transformed their idea into a reality. The site not only includes an array of collections, but incorporates Spotify playlists to jam to while shopping online and campus calendars where university organizations can add events for shoppers from individual campuses to see. Swayy also has a network of student ambassadors from various campuses that increase brand recognition. Swayy’s value, however, reaches beyond clothing, music, calendars and the brand itself. Business honors and finance sophomore Kendall Matthews said that Swayy’s allure stems not only from the problem it solves, but from the women who worked to solve the problem. “They address a need that is really prominent,” Matthews said. “Swayy is also really neat

because it was created by members of its target market: College girls working on it for college girls.” To its founders, Swayy is more than just a website. Atluri said that she and Harralson aim to instill confidence in women and influence

other female entrepreneurs through Swayy. “Being female entrepreneurs in an environment where there are not a lot of women founders, it’s cool to see women and other people who say, ‘Seeing you guys do this makes me want to do something like this,’” Atluri said.
