Belo Center restrooms provide menstrual products By Madi Margulies @madimarg

“(We also provide) STD treatment and testing,” Wheat said. “(STD’s) are very common and many are asymptomatic, so it’s very important that under age 25 patients are seeking STD testing and treatments.” Yulissa Colunga, a social work graduate student, said she sometimes doesn’t have time to go to the doctor because she doesn’t have a car. “It’s convenient to have the (Student Services Building) here, and I think it would be convenient for Planned Parenthood to be closer to campus as well,” Colunga said. “That way, students don’t have to go all the way to North Austin or South Austin.” All methods of birth control can start at $0, according to its website. Planned Parenthood also aims to help people find health coverage, insurance or other funding if they don’t have any. Planned Parenthood oﬀers funding if a

The Moody Communication Council began providing free period products this month in the women’s restrooms of the Belo Center for New Media after a period product donation drive last semester. Periods ATX started a petition in May 2019 to offer free menstrual products at UT, and it gained about 1,000 signatures, according to the petition page. In 2018, UT launched a pilot program to provide free period products in the Texas Union and the William C. Powers Jr. Student Activity Center, said Kacey Vandervort, outreach chair of the Communication Council. Last November, the Communication Council took matters into their own hands to provide the products with a donation drive, said Rebecca McCraney, external director of the Communication Council. “(We) just recognized there was a problem,” McCraney, a communication and leadership senior, said. “And there was a really easy solution that we could just step up and provide for our fellow students and ourselves.” According to UT Health Austin, the average cost of a box of tampons is $7, and the average person usually goes through nine boxes per year. Period products can be expensive and difficult to obtain and should be as readily available as the condoms the University provides, McCraney said. Available products include tampons, pads and panty liners of various absorbencies, and they can currently be found in the women’s restrooms on the first through fourth floors of the Belo Center for New Media.

Planned Parenthood opens The nonproﬁt’s fourth Austin clinic is located a block away from UT’s campus and is open Monday through Friday, and every other Saturday. By Neha Madhira @nehamira14

lanned Parenthood opened up a new clinic less than a block away from campus, making it the nonproﬁt’s fourth location in Austin. Planned Parenthood is a health care provider that delivers vital reproductive health care, sex education and sexual health information, according to its website. The new location is located on Medical Arts Street, and the other Austin clinics are located on East Ben White Boulevard, Research Boulevard and East Seventh Street. “We hope the new location is accessible for patients coming from that part of Austin,” said Sarah Wheat, Planned Parenthood chief external affairs officer. “I think what’s really important (for our locations) are the resources (the clinic) provide, and (it’s)

why so many people trust us for their health care.” The new clinic, which officially opened its doors in December, is open during business hours Monday through Friday and every other Saturday. The next closest location to the University is around five miles away on East Seventh Street, but it is temporarily closed for renovations. Wheat said the clinic tries to destigmatize testing and treatments regarding sexual health. “I think it is very important to us that all patients are comfortable here,” Wheat said. “At any time of day, people can go online and make an appointment.” Community members can learn about options concerning their sexual health, including abortions, all forms of birth control, emergency contraceptives and sexually transmitted diseases, according to the Planned Parenthood website.

Guest lecturer discusses sugar, convict lease system

UT Elementary School to use $2500 grant to restore classroom gardens

By Sera Simpson @thedailytexan

A visiting professor discussed the contemporary relevance of sugar plantations in Texas and how it aﬀects the modern food system in a lecture Tuesday. Professor Ashanté Reese, an assistant professor of geography and environmental systems at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, gave a lecture called “The Carceral Life of Sugar: Plantations, Prisons and the Contemporary Food System” in Patton Hall. This talk focused on Reese’s research on the agriculture of sugar in Texas and the use of the convict lease system to support this food system in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In her work, Reese said she also focuses on how these processes relate and compare to current American consumption and the prison system. Reese said her project focuses on

studying the relevance of the plantation in modern Black life and in the construction of the state and food system. “I hope to contribute to a collective receiving, reinhabiting and reimagining of the world within and beyond the carceral structures that shape our lives,” Reese said. She said the convict lease system is connected to American consumption in general, but particularly to American sugar consumption, which is higher than any other country. “Our contemporary need for sugar in particular — and for globally circulated foodstuﬀs in general — is ideologically and materially connected to these plantation paths,” Reese said. Reese said prisoners are still working on farms today despite the abolition of convict lease, except now the farms are owned by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. She said the Texas S U G A R PAGE 3

The College of Natural Sciences Career Services hosted a panel Tuesday of current UT students and alumni on health care career opportunities that only require a bachelor’s degree. The event, “How to Work in Healthcare Without Being a Doctor,” drew around 150 attendees, and speakers from a variety of organizations came to speak on the panel. The panelists discussed how to transition from a pre-health track to a career immediately out of college. Joe Mason, a data analytics intern at pharmaceutical company Merck, said he decided during college that he no longer wanted to pursue medicine. Computational biology senior Mason said it

is very important for students who want to work in biotechnology and related fields to have a portfolio of projects to show their competency to companies. “The biggest fear a company has is that they bring someone in, train them up for a year, and then that was (the trainee’s) gap year and now they’re going to medical school,” Mason said. “That was a waste because your first year working you don’t produce a lot of value for the company.” Emily Zhang, health strategies specialist for the American Heart Association, said it’s very important to take care of your health during college. “I think I definitely spread myself out too thin during college, which is why I felt so burnt out when I graduated,” Zhang said. “At the end of the day, you have to take care of yourself in order to take care of your future.” Zhang said getting involved on campus and

taking additional classes can also help students develop other interests. “A certificate or a minor can be a really great way to develop another smaller interest that you may have and see where that can lead you,” Zhang said. Maggie Rigney, senior career coach and the event organizer, said CNS Career Services held the event to expose students to different career paths. “A lot of students might have grown up hearing about doctors, lawyers, teachers, firefighters and police officers,” Rigney said. “But there are new jobs that are being created every day.” Biology sophomore Imtiaz Rashid said the resources and advice provided at the panel were helpful. “I don’t have to just directly go into some pre-med or pre-health profession,” Rashid said. “(I’m) trying to just explore and do my research and keep my options open.”

Scholars discuss hardships faced by immigrants By Tori Duff @thedailytexan

In a lecture geared toward firstyear students Tuesday evening, scholars discussed the realities of immigrant life in America and encouraged people to show empathy toward immigrants. “Immigration and Imagination” was another entry in the University Lecture Series, a series of discussions presented by the School of Undergraduate Studies. The purpose of the lectures is to help introduce first-year students to the renowned scholars that UT has to offer by creating a dialogue among staff and students, according to the school’s website. The discussion was led by UT philosophy professor Aloysius Martinich, UT classics professor Thomas Palaima and Micheal Lesy, a professor emeritus of literary journalism at Hampshire College. This lecture was about immigration at the turn of the 20th century and immigration today, including how American society has treated immigrants in both eras. The three speakers discussed their family histories and examined the reasons people want to come to America. Martinich said immigrants contributed to building America into what it is and are not recognized for their efforts. ”Whatever the wave of immigrants or where they are from, people are always treated poorly,” Martinich said. “But then one or two generations later, they become Americans just as any other group.” Martinich said this generation

Professor Thomas Palaima speaks to the audience with professors Aloysius Martinich and Michael Lesy in a lecture to first-year students as part of the University Lecture Series hosted by the School of Undergraduate Studies. The lecture, titled “Immigration and Imagination,” seeks to facilitate a campuswide conversation between students and leading faculty. needs to learn to break the cycle. “Every immigrant group comes over here ‘poor or ignorant or despised,’ but then eventually, with time, they are the ones who despise the immigrants,” Martinich said. Palaima said Americans do not have sympathy toward immigrants as they try to pursue a better life. “Sympathy is quite literally suffering along with other people,” Palaima said. “Empathy has to do with suffering in the place, the

shoes, of other people. You learn what it feels like to be invisible to all of those walking around you. It is like how homeless people feel, with people sidestepping you and avoiding eye contact.” Palaima said the struggles of immigrants today are changing with legislation that tightens border control. “You cannot imagine what it’s like to be an immigrant: poor, with no family protection around you,”

Palaima said. The presentation included a series of photographs of immigrants throughout history, and Lesy said the photographs showed how immigrants’ emotional plights have remained the same. “Taking pictures was, until now, an act of stopping time,” Lesy said. “Of remembering things, and bringing memories back to life again. Photographs can change the story that you’re told about history.”

SG discusses bringing smart lockers to campus By Anna Canizales @annaleonorc

Student leaders discussed a resolution to install smart lockers — lockers that can be rented and accessed through an app to store or pick up items — on campus at the assembly meeting Tuesday. These lockers would be placed in buildings around campus that receive deliveries. The smart lockers can be accessed through an app 24/7 and would be available at no additional cost to the University, said Richard Zhu, founder and CTO of ZipcodeXpress, an Austin-based smart locker technology company. Smart lockers would be available for $3 a month for students, and 25% of all revenues raised would be returned to the University, according to the legislation. Law school representative Jordan Cope, who authored the resolution, said ZipcodeXpress lockers have been installed at the University of Washington with positive results. “Smart lockers ultimately reduce the odds of human error and mismanagement, which loses packages,” Cope said. “Economically, it makes so much sense to have them.” Cope said some of the lockers would be refrigerated for food or grocery deliveries, and ZipcodeXpress would install the lockers at UT for free. “It’s very apparent that such technology would not only be more affordable, but would be more innovative,” Cope said. Natural sciences representative Grayson Pike said he was concerned about the feasibility of the smart lockers but said if the lockers failed, the cost would not fall on the University.

“My only concern is that … sometimes these (young startups) can bite off more than they can chew and botch the execution a little bit,” Pike said. “I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if they tried installing them and suffered some bugs.” Pike said the lockers will give students more options to store items. “A lot of people would be able to leave

Law school representative Jordan Cope and guests pitch a prospective piece of legislation at the Student Government meeting Tuesday.

“One of our students said the only space he ever had to play on was a little culvert ditch near his apartment. So when he got out in the garden, he really enjoyed it.” Yarbrough said the school will take the grant to begin building the gardens and call for donations to supplement the rest. The gardens will be reconstructed by fall, she said. Before receiving the grant, the elementary school aimed for $8,500 in funding through HornRaiser, and has currently collected $620, according to the HornRaiser website. Yarbrough said many students retain information longer when they get a hands-on opportunity to do things, which the gardens provide. “For students who just don’t get all the information by being spoken to,

Vore said that the original gardens allowed students to physically observe the life cycle of ladybugs and the nutrition cycle in the gardens. Political communications freshman Cindy Munoz said she thinks it is valuable for kids to understand the way plants grow in nature. “I also loved the feeling of planting roses and flowers,” Munoz said. “I am excited that they will have their gardens back and can really understand how nature works.” Students grew a variety of herbs and vegetables, such as sage, rosemary, kale and potatoes, Vore said. “Students got to learn all the things you can do with cucumbers, green beans and tomatoes we would produce,” Vore said. “We would make salads for

them, or they would make them themselves.” The school cafeteria also used the produce, and every two months on Saturday morning, fourth and fifth graders would take their harvest to the downtown farmers’ market to make the gardens a self-sustaining project, Vore said. Yarbrough said produce also went to student families in need. “They were able to put (food) in a little bag to bring home with students whose parents had said that they would like a little extra food in their household,” Yarbrough said. Vore said the elementary school is also trying to create wildlife gardens, such as bird gardens. “We want to eventually have the school be a school within gardens,” Vore said. “We’re going to start our first project by reinstalling our vegetable and herb gardens in the front of our building.”

Sean and Suseth share stories, ask you to #DoYouForOthers By Sean Tucker & Suseth Muñoz

We’re Sean and Suseth, and throughout our time on campus, we’ve put ourselves in positions where we can directly help others. Now we want to serve you as your next student body president and vice president. Here are our stories. Sean: When I arrived in Austin as a freshman, I was enamored with the UT campus and eager to make my mark on it. I was ambitious, so I applied to four programs and positions around campus where I felt like I‘d be a great fit — and then I got denied by all of them. Suddenly, so many of my hopes for my time at UT and the confidence I came in with were in jeopardy of being lost. I was discouraged, and I started feeling like I should close myself off from opportunities, but then I remembered why I applied for anything in the first place. I applied because I believed in my ability to help others and to be a source of support. And when I leaned back on those convictions, I found inspiration to

the entire system by myself, and I was not able to easily find my community because I thought these opportunities were not meant for me. How could they be when the people that are brave enough to put themselves out there are people that have been told all their lives they should be actively seeking positions of power. It was not until I became an orientation adviser that I found my voice. I realized how important it was to tell MY story, so now I want to share it with you. The truth is that I have been figuring it out as I go, but following my passions as an orientation adviser, a resident assistant, an officer for ValleyHorns, a member of Minority Women Pursuing Law, a mentor for kids whose second language is also English and a member of Senate has allowed me to amplify the voices of those that do not have one. I am running because everything that I do is to make my family proud, to better my community at UT and in the Valley. Who would have thought that that little girl from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, would be trying to be your vice president now? But I know that this is how I want to #DoYouForOthers.

While devoting countless hours in search of ways to enact change on campus and throughout the greater Austin area, we had simply overlooked the opportunity that already existed within Student Government, whether or not we felt it would welcome a pair of students like us. But isn’t that what this is all about? Because SG feels so inaccessible to students like us, it’s time to do more than just bridge the gap. It’s time to give it back. That’s what we’re here for, and that’s what we’re running for. SG should have never been taken from

FILM REVIEW ¦ ONWARD

Alum banjoist discusses new album, Texas roots

Pixar’s latest film ‘Onward’ follows fun, emotional journey of two elf brothers

On March 6, UT alumnus Danny Barnes will release his new album Man on Fire. Barnes graduated from UT in 1985.

e may have moved to Washington state, but UT alumnus Danny Barnes continues to pay homage to his Texas roots one banjo-dominated record at a time. Barnes graduated from UT in 1985 with a degree in audio production. Before going solo in the early 2000s, Barnes was part of the local Austin band Bad Livers. On March 6, Barnes is set to release his new album Man on Fire, which features musicians such as Dave Matthews and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones. The Daily Texan spoke with Barnes during a stop on his national tour about his upcoming album and his Texas roots. The Daily Texan: What was the writ-

Even two months after Christmas, magical elves still make for an entertaining watch. Directed by Dan Scanlon, “Onward” is an animated fantasy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios. The movie follows two teenage elf brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt), who lost their father at a very young age. Upon discovering the existence of magic, the brothers embark on a quest to bring their father back to life for one day. After a mishap with their first attempt at magic, the brothers bring back only their father’s legs, starting the 24-hour countdown to bring back the rest of his body and setting off a series of conflicts. The movie explores waters unfamiliar to Pixar’s usual content. Mixing a fantasy world with modern technology, the concept of the film is unique and entertaining. While folktale-like moments might briefly seem cliché, an allusion to present day shifts the tone back for a bizarre and engaging story. The animation is well done and is appropriate for the setting. The image quality is stellar, as is expected of the studio, but not overly

realistic in a way that distracts from the unreal world in which the story takes place. A bouncy soundtrack consistently matches the tone of every scene, perfectly highlighting specific moments to enhance the visual experience. Holland and Pratt diverge from their superhero roles to bring an emotional dynamic to life between two brothers. Despite having a voice recognizable from his portrayal of Spider-Man, Holland is able to engage viewers in Ian’s story with no distractions. Pratt steps down from the galaxy to become the guardian of his little brother as Barley serves as a heartwarming paternal figure to Ian. As the film tackles an array of motifs, most prominently grief and absence, the two actors give a moving performance. The outcome will surely resonate deeply with any viewer who has lost a loved one. The writing of the movie is mostly well done. Many characters are emotionally relatable, and viewers will likely feel represented by the stories being told. However, the unique nature of the movie isn’t anything groundbreaking. Some teasing within the film, such as a side character filming a catastrophe instead of running from it, would be more effective if it was presented more directly through central

characters. Pixar’s first openly LGBTQ character is introduced, but the moment’s impact is diluted by the character’s absolute bare minimum screen time. With the character’s appearance amounting to fewer than five minutes, her sexuality is alluded to only in passing. The only fully unexpected letdown of the movie is the end of the brothers’ journey. After nearly two hopeful hours of watching the brothers on their adventure, the outcome is ultimately a bit disappointing, and the parting optimism feels forced. While viewers might hope for a happy ending, they’ll receive one in a slightly unfulfilling way. Despite this, it might be a good idea to bring tissues for the tear-jerking final act typical of a Pixar movie. Ultimately, “Onward” is as emotional as anticipated and delivers a surprising amount of fun. Above all else, it introduces two brother elves who fit in perfectly among Pixar’s talking toys and lost clownfish as characters fans will love forever.

this is something I’ve learned my whole work (career) studying with people who are a lot better than me — is figure out a way you can fall in love with music even more. I think that’s kind of a shortcut for learning how to get better on your instrument and get better as an artist — figure out a way to fall in love with music more than you (are) now.

Longhorns remain undefeated

Texas continues superb start to season behind freshman pitcher Pete Hansen and defense. By Nathan Han @NathanHan13

etejjjjjHansen might not have come to the Forty Acres if not for Twitter. “Texas has always been my dream school ever since I was a little kid,” freshman pitcher Pete Hansen said. “I was getting recruited by a lot of other big schools, and I knew they didn’t recruit out of state.” But a friend’s dad took to Twitter and managed to make contact with Carli Todd, Texas’ director of player development. “So I was trying to get the word out,” Hansen said. “But he did it for me, (direct messaged) our Twitter, and Carli noticed and told coaches about it. Now, here we are.” Texas head coach David Pierce is quick to point out that he saw Hansen pitch before any tips from Twitter,

but that the direct messages paid off for the 9–0 Longhorns in their 4-1 win Tuesday over 5–2 Sam Houston State when Hansen picked up his first win of the season after allowing only one unearned run and two hits in five innings. In the left-hander’s first start in burnt orange, he quickly got into trouble just four batters in after a dropped fly ball from senior center fielder Duke Ellis. But with the bases loaded and two outs, the defense flipped the script and got a crucial out at the plate when sophomore left fielder Eric Kennedy threw out a runner at home who was trying to score from second on a single. “It really wasn’t a great throw,” Kennedy said. “It was kind of a weak arm. Luckily, the runner was pretty slow, so I got him.” After that, Hansen settled in and pitched four seamless innings. But his first career win was still in doubt until a big, fourrun rally by the Longhorn lineup in the bottom of the fifth inning. “I just stuck to my routine,” Hansen said. “I definitely felt like I controlled my slider. It’s been my goto pitch all year. I just knew I had to keep trusting my pitches and hitters would get

Hansen pitched five innings and only allowed one run on his way to his first career win. themselves out.” The Longhorns didn’t hit a single extra-base hit but walked seven times and hit seven singles. It took five of those singles and one walk in the fifth inning to score all four runs. But those were the

only four runs the bullpen needed to close the game. Freshman pitcher Andre Duplantier II also had a first of his own, earning his first career save in his longest outing of the season. He also allowed the first hit of his

collegiate career in the ninth inning, but worked around runners at second and third to close the game. Texas improved to 9–0 and stayed undefeated against arguably the best opponent the Longhorns have

faced all year. “It was a great game to have because they’re a very solid team,” Pierce said. “So it was a quality win, and I do think they are the best team we’ve played up to this point.”

Texas splits doubleheader ahead of challenging weekend By Seth Forman @_SethAForman

In its Tuesday night doubleheader against top-10

opponent Louisiana, Texas just couldn’t seem to get to home plate. The Longhorns split the games against the Ragin’ Cajuns, falling 3-2

and then winning 2-1 in the nightcap. The first game was reminiscent of Saturday’s loss to Duke. As has become the stan-

dard, the Texas pitching dominated from the start. Senior pitcher Miranda Elish pitched her trademark complete game in the first game of the night, allowing only four hits and striking out six. But all Louisiana needed was one swing of the bat, with all three runs coming from a homer from junior designated player Bailey Curry. “I think we’re just really aggressive,” sophomore pitcher Shealyn O’Leary said. “We always know where the ball will be, like what we’re going to do with the ball before we get it. It’s just having that initial intention and being prepared for whatever comes at us.” The Longhorns’ bats, however, just couldn’t get going for sustained stretches. Texas was able to make frequent contact with the ball but couldn’t seem to hit it into open space. “That’s what we call at ‘em balls,’” Texas head coach Mike White said. “There’s not much you can

do. You just get up there and try and hit the ball hard, and we did. And unfortunately, we found a lot of gloves.” Texas’ loss in a low-scoring affair mirrored the other close games it has played this season in their matchups against Duke, North Texas and Utah. Dominance on the mound was not backed by runs at the plate. Against Duke, Blue Devil junior pitcher Peyton St. George only struck out one, and the Ragin’ Cajuns only threw four yet held Texas to two runs in the first game. In both matchups, Texas was able to consistently make solid contact that just didn’t seem to fall for hits. “You can’t really control who you hit it to,” senior outfielder Shannon Rhodes said. “Our process is to hit the ball hard … If you happen to hit it right at them hard, then hopefully the softball gods will reward you.” In the second game of the night, the Longhorns again showcased the pitching that makes them a top-five team. Against the Ragin’ Cajuns’

batting lineup, O’Leary put together yet another great game inside the circle. She allowed only four hits and one run, which came from Curry’s second home run of the night. However, the hitting struggles continued. Prior to their first loss of the season, the Horns averaged 9.8 runs per game. Despite escaping the second-lowest scoring total with a win, Texas still finished with only four runs on the night. “We give (the players) a game plan,” White said. “Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. But for the most part when we stick to our game plans, we do pretty well, so that’s what we’ve (got to) do.” Texas now sits at 16–2, but Texas will need to find a way to generate more runs against top teams if it wants to continue their success through this coming week. The Longhorns will face three ranked opponents this weekend, including the No. 1 and 2 teams as ranked by the USA Today Coaches Poll.
