UT students forced to go home after Longhorn run canceled for heavy rain

new bill to redeFine hazing

Senate bill passes following death of three Texas students.

By Nicole Stuessy @nicolestuessy

Over 4,000 runners gathered on campus early Saturday morning to participate in the annual Longhorn Run, but threatening weather conditions threw the race off course. Last weekend, the Austin American-Statesman canceled their annual Capitol 10K Race because of weather conditions. In previous years, the Longhorn Run has taken place during rainy conditions, but this is the first time in nine years it has been canceled because of lightning and thunder, race director Cecilia Lopez Cardenas said. “Our team had been monitoring the weather throughout the week, and we knew the weather conditions could be threatening,” Lopez Cardenas said. “We knew rain was always in the forecast, and we would have the run rain or shine, but it was a matter of if there would be lightning or thunder.” Event staff gathered hours before the race to set up and monitor the weather, Lopez Cardenas said. “We gathered pretty much hourly from as early as 4 a.m.,” Lopez Cardenas said. “The (forecasts) we looked at said rain would likely hit the area, but there were no threatening weather conditions in place at the time, so we thought we would be able to have the race on schedule.” The 10K runners began the race at 8 a.m. but were led back to Gregory Gymnasium after signs of

eddie gaspar | the daily texan file Senate Bill 38, filed by Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, would redefine the legal definition of hazing and hold universities more accountable in sending information to students about organizations with histories of hazing.

By Jackson Barton @Jackson_Brton

exas’ laws defining hazing have not been changed in over a decade, but now, state lawmakers say they are facing pressure following deaths of three Texas college students — including former UT student Nicky Cumberland — which have sparked conversations about hazing. Senate Bill 38 would redefine the legal definition of hazing to make the offense easier to prosecute and hold universities more accountable for alerting incoming freshmen to organizations with a history of hazing. The bill passed in the Senate on Thursday, 26-5. A similar bill in the House, House Bill 1482, passed committee but has yet to be heard on the

House floor. State Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, co-authored SB 38 and has tried to pass a similar bill five times. She called on Senate members to create accountability in the laws and institutions “to eradicate this barbaric behavior in Texas.” “Some may dismiss (acts of hazing) as crude and mostly harmless rights of passage, or as team building exercises,” Zaffirini said in a speech to the Senate. “That supposedly innocent intent, however, often is perverted into acts of cruelty and degradation, including downright torture and life-threatening experiences.” The bills would make forcing someone to drink alcohol an act of hazing. The bills would also require postsecondary educational institutions

WORLD

like UT to send students information defining hazing, as well as a list of all student organizations disciplined for hazing in the past three years with detailed reports on each incident. Reports would need to include when the university opened an investigation, the hazing incident itself and all university and court imposed penalties or fines. Information that could identify specific individuals involved is excluded. The detailed report or a link to said report will need to be sent out two weeks before classes begin, according to the bills. Current laws only require universities to send out the names of organizations disciplined or convicted of hazing in the first three weeks after classes begin each semester.

Kerbey queso recipe now on moon after spacecraft crash By Hayden Baggett @hansfirm

The Kerbey queso recipe is out of this world — literally. Launched from Florida via SpaceX’s Falcon rocket in February, the unmanned Israeli spacecraft Beresheet crashed into the moon last week while carrying a multi-million-page archive of human civilization and history — including Kerbey Lane Cafe’s queso recipe. Spacecraft operators lost communications with the ship at 2:26 p.m. Thursday and declared the mission unsuccessful shortly after. “We had a failure in the spacecraft,” Opher Doron, general manager of Israel Aerospace Industries, said from the control room. “We unfortunately have not managed to land successfully.” While failing in its main goal to become the fourth nation to land a spacecraft on the lunar surface, Israel became the seventh successful country to orbit the moon. The accomplishment was a joint effort by the Israeli nonprofit SpaceIL and Israel Aerospace Industries. The decision to let the top-secret recipe on board came from Austin Mayor Steve Adler and the Arch Mission Foundation, whose goal is to permanently archive all human knowledge in space. “As part of their program, the

Arch Mission invited a limited number of celebrities, influencers and dignitaries to make a contribution to the Lunar Library,” according to Adler’s website. “The Foundation provided this opportunity to Austin’s Mayor.” According to the foundation’s website, the library was

etched onto a nickel-plated device that resembles a DVD. Composed of several layers and 100 gigabytes of highly compressed data, the information — more than 80,000 images of books, photographs and

documents — can be magnified and viewed. Arch Mission spokesperson Katarina Brown said the library containing the recipe is likely still intact despite the spacecraft’s failure. “The landing was a little bumpier than expected, but airplane black boxes survive stronger impacts, and our disc is less breakable,” Brown said. “Small, light objects, like our 100 gram library, do better in impacts. It was probably thrown a few kilometers away — a 30-million-page frisbee on the moon.” If not, Brown said the foundation at least “installed the first archaeological ruins of early human attempts to build a library on the moon.” Adler said in addition to the queso recipe, he chose to include a picture of Leslie Cochran — a former, homeless mayoral candidate. The library also includes an English copy of Wikipedia, the Bible and a key to 5000 languages. “We choose to send queso to the Moon – and maybe someday chips as well, not because these things are easy, but because they are hard,” Adler said on his website after the launch. To celebrate their contribution, Kerbey Lane Cafe gave away free queso and commemorative T-shirts on Thursday. “It *crash* landed, but we

Former UT president Bill Powers honored at memorial service By Brynne Herzfeld @BrynneHerzfeld

Former UT President Bill Powers was honored at a memorial service Friday afternoon with speeches from current UT President Gregory Fenves and Powers’ friends and colleagues. Powers died March 10 at the age of 72 after complications from a fall combined with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy, a rare muscle disorder. Kenneth Jastrow, a friend

of Powers and chair of the UT Austin Campaign for Texas, spoke about Powers’ accomplishments during his time as president. The Student Activity Center, the Bill & Melinda Gates Computer Science Complex and the Biomedical Engineering Building were all built while Powers served as president. Beyond these, Jastrow said Powers’ most transformational contribution to the University was establishing the Dell Medical School. “Bill was a leader who had the courage to say

yes,” Jastrow said at the service. “To him, there was more possibility in ‘yes.’ He’d rather say yes and risk failure than say no and never know what might have been.” Fenves said he is grateful for what the late president taught him and for his dedication to UT as president and as a teacher. As president, Powers taught a freshman course called “What Makes the World Intelligible,” and upon

Amplify highlights good, bad of womanhood By Victoria May @torcimay

Hundreds of students, faculty and parents gathered last Friday to view the production “Amplify: UT Women’s Voices,” at an event that demonstrated the uniqueness of being a woman. The production, held in the theatre of Texas Union Building, was composed of 19 performances by women in the UT community, either about their experiences or the experiences of others. Hosted by the UT Women’s Resource Agency of Student Government, Amplify served as a platform for those who identify as women to discuss shared experiences as well as educate the audience on obstacles women encounter. “Personally, I tend to look at my own story and the struggles that I’ve been through, but it’s also important to look at different perspectives,” said public relations junior Rola Elkhatib, who attended the event. “For

example, when they discussed transgender issues, (which is) something I really haven’t had the chance to educate myself about, I saw the importance of paying attention to people that are different than you to widen your perspective.” Performances were

organized to take the form of a story that encompassed elements of struggle, resistance, joy and empowerment. “As inclusive that we wish UT is, we must realize that it’s actually not,” said Tasnim Islam, a public health and plan II freshman, in her

performance called “The Beauty of the Blur.” “We see this exclusivity especially when transgender and intersex folks are deterred from applying to the University, because they know they will not be able to live comfortably and safely within their own home here.”

Brett Dolotina, a public health and biochemistry sophomore who attended the event, said he saw value in exposing new perspectives to the different audience members. “I think that the primary benefit of men attending events like these is to better understand the perspective of women,” Dolotina said. “Men do not usually think about the discrimination that women face. In better understanding this, men play an impactful role in terms of being able to empower women and raise them to the status of equals.” The Women’s Resource Agency started Amplify three years ago as an effort to highlight the voices of women throughout the University, according to the event’s organizers. All proceeds from each year’s show go to Voices Against Violence, an organization aimed at supporting survivors of interpersonal violence and attempting to put an end to sexual violence.

stepping down in 2015, returned to teach at UT Law. “There’s nothing Bill prized more than knowledge, learning and teaching,” Fenves said. “Even as president, he would make it clear that he was a teacher first. He was the best teacher anyone hoping to lead this great institution could ever have.”

A common thread among the tributes was how Powers interacted with students on campus. “It was really cool to hear people who knew President Powers on a more personal level,” said Greyson Rubin, a Plan II and architecture senior who attended the service. “He was definitely a mentor to me when I was on campus my first few years here.” Keshav Rajagopalan, student body president from

2008–2009 recalled seeing Powers help move freshmen into their dorms and lead The Eyes of Texas with the Longhorn Band. Rajagopalan said Powers recognized students as the heart of the University. “Bill was never more himself than when he was around students,” Rajagopalan said. “He told me numerous times that without (students), there is no UT. To him, students always came first.”

Last fall, the Office of the Dean of Students sent out the required hazing information on Sept. 18, 20 days after classes began and one day short of the three week deadline. Several organizations on campus require prospective members to apply before the third week of class, meaning students could join an organization without yet knowing of its previous hazing violations. The Office of the Dean of Students and the Texas Interfraternity Council did not respond to a request for comment. The bill out of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee included preventing someone from using their cellphone in order to deny them the ability to record an act of hazing, to the definition of hazing. Shawn Cumberland, father of Nicky Cumberland, testified to the

committee that his son had his phone taken away during multiple Texas Cowboys’ events. “(The Cowboys) let (Nicky) drive on his moped through the city of Austin late at night … his roommates told me that he could barely stand or talk,” Cumberland said to the committee. “If he had his cellphone, he could have called his girlfriend to come pick him up and get him out of (the) bad situation.” However, adding this addition to the definition was removed by an amendment from state Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston, who said it would be too hard to prove by prosecutors. The bill would also grant immunity from civil liability to anyone who voluntarily reports an act of hazing they themselves did not commit. Current laws already give immunity to criminal charges to anyone who reports hazing.

threatening weather conditions began to appear, Lopez Cardenas said. “About two miles in, we veered off the course and went back to campus to Speedway,” biology senior Jade Teetsel said. “The whole time I was thinking, ‘Did I accidentally do the 5K course?’ I was just really confused.” Runners were ushered into Gregory Gym to seek shelter and awaited further instructions, management information systems sophomore Jacob Sames said. “I started looking at my email and the Longhorn Run Twitter for updates,” Sames said. “They didn’t post anything

for a while, so I just left because everything was unclear. The volunteers and the event staff didn’t give us much instruction.” Lopez Cardenas said they considered delaying the race, but City permitting would not allow them to start the run any later than 8:45 a.m. “Unfortunately, the conditions were not clear by then and continued to be a threat,” Lopez Cardenas said. “We just could not afford to put our runners at risk and at that point, we made the decision to cancel the race and post-race celebration.” The cost of participating in the 5K was $35 and the 10K was $40. When signing up for the race, Lopez Cardenas said the strict no refund policy is made clear

to participants. “No matter how much sponsor support we have, we rely on the registration fees to hold the race,” Lopez Cardenas said. “Because of the City permitting, law enforcement, all of the various aspects it takes to produce the race, these events aren’t possible to reschedule.” Teetsel said while it is frustrating to have the two races canceled on back-to-back weekends, she appreciates event staff putting the safety of the runners first. “I can only imagine how much planning goes into (the race) logistically and financially and how organized you have to be while making sure everyone is safe,” Teetsel said. “As much as it sucks for the runners, we just had to show up.”

joshua guenther | the daily texan file Raymund Paredes, Commissioner of Texas Higher Education, spoke Friday at a higher education panel hosted by the Texas Tribune. Paredes said one way to fix the disparities in the amount of students who go to college is to change the way Texas schools are funded.

Panel discusses state’s low college completion rates By Savana Dunning @savanaish

As Texas falls behind other states in college completion rates, a panel of three Texas higher education leaders, hosted Friday by The Texas Tribune, discussed how the state can catch up. Texas’ six-year and fouryear degree completion rates are below average, according to The National Center for Higher Education Management Systems. The panelists said solutions to this issue lie not just in improving the numbers, but also with changing how the state measures student success. Panelist Vistasp Karbhari, president of UT-Arlington,

said measuring student success with four- and six-year degree completion rates ignores nontraditional students, adult learners and community college transfers, who make up approximately 50% of UTA’s student population, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. “We have to keep in mind that for those students, a fouryear or six-year degree isn’t in their plan, and it isn’t in their plan because life is also going to take place side-by-side,” Karbhari said. “We want to make sure students progress at the right pace for them.” Karbhari also suggested using technology to track individual student progress to aid students when they start struggling and proposed

creating more majors catered to nearby workforce demand, such as UTA’s new architectural engineering degree plan. Panelist Raymund Paredes, Commissioner of Texas Higher Education, said the small percentage of Texas high school students who go on to college, 51%, hinders the state on a national level. Paredes heads the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, which leads 60x30TX, a project that aims for 60% of Texans age 25 to 34 to have a post-secondary degree by 2030. “That kind of deficit, that kind of disparity accumulates over time and makes us very uncompetitive in certain fields,” Paredes said. “There’s a reason why Silicon Valley

is where it is, and we have to make some changes in educational achievement in Texas in order to compete at that level.” Paredes said one way to fix the disparity is to change the way Texas funds schools. The state funds universities almost entirely on how many students are enrolled in how many hours. Paredes said he’s trying to switch that funding model to one based on outcomes and performance, which he said has already seen success at two-year institutions and technical colleges throughout the state. The panel also discussed which of the 86th Texas Legislature’s higher education proposals have chances of getting funded. Panelist

Millicent Valek, president of Brazosport College, said increasing the amount of money that goes toward performance-based funding has been a top priority during the current legislative session. However, Valek said certain proposals, namely tax cuts, are in danger of harming community college success rates. “Community colleges have an important funding source that we rely on that comes from local taxes,” Valek said. “In the Senate version (of this tax proposal), we are not exempted from the proposed roll back rate of 2.5%. If that were to prevail, that would wipe out the entire growth we’ve made in student success in one year.”

Lawmakers, students discuss end to hazing By Jennifer Liu Forum Editor

Last October, a car accident took Nicky Cumberland’s life. He was on his way back from a Texas Cowboys retreat that involved alleged hazing. The driver had fallen asleep at the wheel. An investigation into the allegations requested by the Cumberland family found no evidence that sleep deprivation was used as a form of hazing at this year’s retreat, but it

did find that hazing was involved in previous retreats. The investigation found hazing involved tactics ranging from physical brutality to animal cruelty — one of the most shocking being forcing members to bite the head off a live hamster. As a result, the Texas Cowboys have been placed under a six year suspension by the University. Hazing has become one of the most salient issues on campus this year. Many have called for much stricter punishment for the Cowboys, such as disbanding the organization entirely, and for University-wide

hazing reform. But hazing is not a new issue, even for the Cowboys. In 1995, they were disbanded for 5 years after hazing was determined to be the cause of member Gabe Higgins’ death. And just this fall, the UT chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was suspended for “fear factor like” hazing. Last Thursday, the Texas Senate approved Senate Bill 38, a bill expanding the definition of hazing that would grant immunity to students who report incidents of hazing to school officials, and also require schools to draw up

detailed reports of those incidents. For this week’s Forum, Senator Zaffirini — an author of SB 38 — argues that while it is a start, successfully combating hazing cannot be accomplished solely with legislation. Peter Driscoll, former Interfraternity Council president, condemns the practice and urges the student organizations and University administration to take stronger stances against hazing. As always, if you have thoughts on this topic or anything else, please feel free to reach out to us at thedailytexanforum@gmail.com.

Ending hazing starts with accountability and transparency By Judith Zaffirini Forum Contributor

In the immortal words of Edmund Burke: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Unfortunately, too many good men and women do nothing to reduce or eliminate hazing. Some equate the practice with harmless pranks while others consider it simply part of joining a group. Alumni often encourage hazing and justify it as an acceptable rite of passage. It is not. Hazing is not a Texan problem. It exists throughout our country. Nor is it merely a fraternity or sorority problem. It exists in the military, extracurricular activities, sports teams, musical groups and honor societies — sometimes with adult “supervision.” There are countless stories about sadistic ways some students make others prove themselves “worthy.” Nicky Cumberland, a UT student who died in a car crash after being hazed at a Texas Cowboys retreat, bore paddle marks more than a month later. Some Louisiana State University

students were forced to lie on broken glass while others urinated on them. Such cruelty often results in long-term physical and emotional damage and, too often, death. Hazing is not about bonding, team building or proving worthiness. It is about power. If hazing were about camaraderie, it would not have to be kept secret. If it was composed of harmless pranks, student death tolls would not continue to rise. Senators recently heard testimony recounting a hazing ritual during which students poured concrete cleaner on their pledges. How, I thought, could otherwise “normal” persons perpetrate such barbarity? Sadly, I am certain they thought it was acceptable and knew they could get away with it. They might be right. Although the Texas Legislature made hazing illegal in 1995, the offense rarely has been prosecuted — and never successfully. At least 11 Texas students have died from hazing or in hazing-related incidents since then, and countless others have suffered long-term physical, psychological or emotional harm. One can only imagine the multiplier effect of their suffering among their loved ones. Determined to ensure no more students die

because of hazing, I recently filed Senate Bill 38, my fifth attempt to reform our state’s hazing statutes. Co-authored by Senators Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels, Pete Flores, R-Pleasanton, Joan Huffman,R-Houston, Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, and John Whitmire, D-Houston, the bill facilitates prosecution of hazing. It reflects my belief that those who haze should be held accountable under laws that will be enforced fairly, timely and appropriately. Equally important, SB 38 requires our universities to be more transparent. Students should be fully informed while considering membership in an organization that has a history of hazing, and our institutions should demonstrate their commitment to ending hazing through words and actions. Our legislation will not end hazing. The practice has deep cultural roots and fierce protectors. Its eradication will require a collective effort by students, parents, alumni, faculty, administrators, legislators, law enforcement and the judiciary. It will require us to speak loudly and frankly about what happens in student organizations, not in the hushed tones and anonymity that let this

dangerous practice fester. It will require breaking the unwritten code of silence that stifles dissent and empowers the sadistic few who willingly imperil their would-be friends. It will require our colleges and universities place student safety above politics when they address hazing offenses, and, yes, it likely will require us to send some young persons to jail. I write this today only because I believe strongly in the urgency of this moment. Texas has lost three young men to hazing in the last two years. This is our opportunity not only to avert future tragedies, but also to be leaders in the national movement to eradicate hazing. I hope you will join us in this important effort. Senator Judith Zaffirini, Ph.D., is the second-highest ranking senator and the first Mexican American woman elected to the Texas Senate. She holds B.S., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from The University of Texas at Austin, where she was named a UT Distinguished Alumna in 2003, awarded the Presidential Citation in 2013, named an Outstanding Alumna Award in 2016, and inducted into The Daily Texan’s Hall of Fame in 2016.

GUEST COLUMN

Additional University oversight needed to eliminate hazing By Peter Driscoll Forum Contributor

The year was 1909 when leaders of the North-American Interfraternity Conference, an umbrella organization that governs over fraternities, met to “address the evils of pledgeship.” The first item on the agenda was hazing. Hazing is not a new issue. However, the rapid adoption of smart phones and other new forms of communication has made it much more visible to the public eye. This is evidenced by an analysis by Google Ngram, which found that the mention of the word hazing in published books has steadily risen by around 204% since 1980. As the former Interfraternity Council president, I can assuredly say that hazing is alive and well at the University of Texas at Austin. In the past year alone the Texas Cowboys, ATO and SAE

have all been suspended or abolished for hazing that occurred within their organizations. In addition to this, according to the Office of the Dean of Students, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha Sigma Rho, Delta Sigma Phi, Kappa Alpha Order, Omega Phi Gamma, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Alpha Mu, Sigma Chi, Sigma Lambda Gamma, Texas Iron Spikes and Undergraduate Business Council have all been sanctioned by the University for hazing. Hazing is present in all types of organizations on campus, as evidenced by an Austin American-Statesman article citing a 2018 survey of UT students in which 26.9% of UT students reported being victims of hazing in a diverse array of student organizations. As long as hazing exists at UT, students will never be safe. We will only put a stop to hazing when we are willing and able to call it what it is: a flagrant violation of human rights and a willful disregard for human dignity. It is the willful ignorance of those who are a part of organizations that haze and do nothing to stop it that

enables hazing to continue to proliferate on the 40 Acres. As the old saying goes, all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. It is time for the good men and women at UT to stand up and act to stop hazing on our campus. This is something I was confronted with time and again while serving as the President of the Interfraternity Council this past year. My executive board and I worked hard to stamp out hazing amongst our member chapters. However, there were limits to the extent of our oversight because the council operates separately from the University’s student conduct board. It is time to reform these processes. We must take a stand against hazing in our organizations and reform them to prevent the deaths of innocent students across campus. I call on the UT administration to establish more stringent oversight of student organizations by interweaving student organizations with the Student Conduct Board. All registered student organizations should

be required to appoint a member to sit on a new, larger board that would serve alongside the student conduct board, with special emphasis on social, Greek and athletic organizations that have a history of hazing offenses. This body would be specifically tasked with preventing, educating on and adjudicating hazing. These efforts, in conjunction with movements such as Horns Against Hazing, will, over time, drastically reduce incidences of hazing. Every day, the world is becoming a more unforgiving place toward acts of hazing, and those who perpetrate them. If you belong to an organization that hazes and you are reading this, know that your organization’s days are numbered, and you could soon face criminal charges. Every day the world is becoming a more unforgiving place towards acts of hazing, and those who perpetrate them. Driscoll is a science and technology management and government senior from Austin.

UT divided over Chick-fil-A’s LGBTQ stance By Thomas Galindo @bubbagalindo

is surprising. “I was surprised UT students didn’t do anything because other students at other universities had protests,” Levinson said. “But that’s on me because I didn’t do anything besides posting on social media.” Levinson recognizes this is an uphill battle for the queer community, but she said every source of pushback can help. “I don’t think (Chickfil-A is) going to change their ways no matter how many schools take them of out their university meal plans,” Levinson said. “However, the more we can stop funds going to those organizations they support, the better.” While some students disagree with Chick-fil-A’s values, others embrace the findings. Psychology junior Matthew Myers said he is not only tolerant of Chick-fil-A running its business on campus but also said he would be opposed to its removal. “I am going to continue eating Chick-fil-A,” Myers said. “If anything, potentially banning Chick-fil-A is discriminating against

my Christian values.” Molly Bartell, art history freshman and member of the LGBTQ community, said she will still eat Chick-fil-A even though she does not agree with their beliefs. “I feel guilty when I go there now, but you can’t be mad at an organization for expressing religious rights, religious freedom and the right to speech,” Bartell said. “Religious freedom is important, too, and Chickfil-A has the right to have freedom of speech even if it hurts me.” While students like Bartell may not embrace Chick-fil-A’s values, some still choose to eat there because of its convenience and flavor. Biochemistry sophomore Chantel Blakes said those are reasons she continues to eat Chick-fil-A. “Obviously, it sucks that in this day and age people still find (LGBTQ) wrong,” Blakes said. “But this doesn’t really change my relationship with Chick-fil-A. I’ll still eat it. It’s delicious food, and it’s one of the very few options on campus that I actually like.”

Between bites of their Chick-n-Minis and waffle fries, some students struggle with Chick-fil-A’s anti-LGBTQ affiliations. A study by ThinkProgress from March 20 revealed the Chick-fil-A Foundation in 2017 donated $1.8 million to three groups with a history of anti-LGBTQ discrimination. Many students have condemned the company’s actions, which led them to rethink their support for Chick-fil-A. Of the dining selections on campus, there are two Chick-fil-As — one in the Texas Union and another in the Student Activity Center. University Unions executive director Mulugeta Ferede said they have little to do with Chick-fil-A being on campus. “The University has no relationship with Chickfil-A,” Ferede said. “Aramark is the food service manager with the Unions. We have no contact with Chick-fil-A.” Aramark’s contract with University Unions began over 10 years ago, bringing with it the establishment of a number of restaurants, including Chick-fil-A. Ferede said student feedback is important and that University Unions solicits these responses. “We’re very much engaged with our students and incorporate that feedback into our food service on campus, but we haven’t had any feedback or complaint since the news has come out,” Ferede said. will keep you connected Texas Student Media Accounting sophomore with daily links to the news, sports and culture Claire Levinson, president shaping the UT community. of stories the GLBTQA+ Business Student Association, said the lack of outrage steph sonik | the daily texan staff

Texas Spirits builds legacy for Zeitler By Trinady Joslin @trinady05

In the fall semester of 2016, public relations senior Abigail “Abz” Zeitler died by suicide. As Texas Spirits president, Texas Real Beauty Campaign Director, Texas 4000 rider, Camp Texas counselor, reporter for The Daily Texan and volunteer for multiple nonprofits, students from every corner of campus grieved for this student. Despite never knowing Zeitler, Margaret Berno said she felt her impact after joining Texas Spirits and hearing stories about Zeitler’s kindness and achievements. In the spring semester of 2018, Berno began efforts to honor Zeitler’s memory. “The most incredible thing was learning her story, and every time I thought I knew everything, someone else would say, ‘Oh, she was also involved in this,’” Berno said, a business honors finance senior, said. After speaking with University officials, Berno decided to create an endowment in Zeitler’s name for Texas Real Beauty, an organization that aims to tackle detrimental beauty standards and promote self-love. Zeitler’s mother

chose Texas Real Beauty because Zeitler directed the campaign in 2015. “Her mom felt like it’s a message Abz needed to hear again,” Berno said. “No matter what, your story is beautiful and worth sharing.” The donation will be invested in UT’s larger endowment, and each year, the returns will be given to the campaign. In order to reach the $25,000 minimum, Spirits created a Hornraiser and raised over $18,000. “(The money raised is) a testament to who she was. Abz was truly one of the best that our University had to offer,” Berno said. “Her story was so easy to share.” After beginning as an extension of Texas Spirits and Texas Sweethearts in 2014, Texas Real Beauty became an official, standalone organization in fall 2018. Campaign co-director Daniela Cos said the funding will help bring in speakers for future events. “The amazing part of this endowment is (the organization) will be funded long after we’re gone and the same things we’re striving to do now will still be impacting campus,” Cos, an international relations and global studies and Italian junior, said. Campaign co-director Sydney Arceneaux said Zeitler’s connection to the

organization was apparent in her dedication to helping start the project. “Even more than that, the message we’re spreading is focused on trying to help people on their journey of finding themselves,” Arceneaux, a Plan II and chemistry junior, said. “Mental health is a really important aspect of that.” Berno said Zeitler was the victim of trauma while interning in developing countries, and hopes the endowment will raise awareness and provide resources to others who may be having similar experiences. Laura Michie, cellular and molecular biology senior and Zeitler’s friend in Spirits, hopes the endowment will serve as a way to preserve the legacy of kindness and involvement Zeitler left behind. “I can’t think of a single person who pushed her friends and her community to be better (like Abz did),” Michie said. “She wanted to change the University and make an impact.” Berno said the endowment will provide a lasting and positive impact on the University. “It’s really awesome that someone who was so passionate about positive change and making a difference in the world gets to have something that makes her voice continue beyond all of ours,” Berno said.

Texas searches for answers after loss

Longhorns continue to struggle with consistency after dropping series to Kansas State. By Daniela Perez @danielap3rez

UFCU Disch-Falk Field looked different on Sunday afternoon as dogs of all shapes and sizes crowded the seats alongside their owners. Bark at the Park brought different personalities to the Disch — some were decked out in Longhorn gear while others tried their best to recreate Bevo’s signature look. But not even the Air Buds of Austin could help the Longhorns secure a series win against Kansas State as they were shutout 2-0. “They say adversity builds character and makes you tougher so we’ll find out what this team is made of,” Texas head coach David Pierce said. “Just a frustrating day. A great day to hit, awesome crowd, perfect day, we let a lot of people down today. Mostly ourselves.” Before their series against the Longhorns, the Wildcats were 1–5 in Big 12 play and 14–20 overall. Now, Kansas State heads back home to Manhattan with two wins and leaves the Longhorns with a series loss after failed at-bats and lackluster pitching. “We’re not going to point fingers. It’s a horrible taste in your mouth, this game,” third baseman Ryan Reynolds said. “Beautiful weather, great fans. We just need to get back on track, everyone focus on their jobs and (if) everyone does their own jobs, everything will link up.”

Texas’ offense was unable to get anything going in its third game of the series, finishing Sunday with five hits, four walks and 10 players left on base. Pierce said the team’s biggest struggle right now is picking the right pitches. Even in their 10-2 win on Saturday, the Longhorns struck out 10 times. In all, Longhorn batters were struck out 23 times this weekend.

We just need to get back on track, everyone focus on their jobs, and (if) everyone does their own jobs everything will link up.” RYA N R E Y N O L D S THIRD BASEMAN

“To me, our biggest hole right now is our pitch selection,” Pierce said, “You know, you’ve got to hit mistakes. If you can’t hit mistakes, then we have to evaluate what your talent level is, and if that’s an issue then we have to make adjustments in your swing or your approach. I’m not down on them, I just think in the past few weeks it’s been a trend.”

The Longhorns also struggled early on the mound. Starting pitcher Coy Cobb, who had an 0–2 record going into the game, allowed two hits and one home run in the first inning. When asked what next for Cobb, Pierce told reporters, “Oh, we’re making a change.” After Cobb’s appearance, the Longhorns recovered with pitchers Tristan Stevens and Cole Quintanilla. Both Stevens and Quintanilla tallied four strikeouts and led the Longhorns through four scoreless innings. “(Today) was a big deal for Tristan because he’s been good for maybe three outs … and has struggled in his second time out,” Pierce said. “So to do what he did today is a very bright spot and I thought Cole was outstanding, Cole was what he was a few weeks ago. His breaking ball was outstanding.” Now, the Longhorns are slated to face the 13–23 Lamar Cardinals on Tuesday at home. With another difficult loss to swallow for the Longhorns, Reynolds said he is hopeful that the team will fight for every game in the future. “We’ve played a tough schedule,” Reynolds said. “We’ve done a fairly good job. I feel like a lot of losses we haven’t really lost, we’ve given the games away. So, we just need to stop giving games away and make the team earn it. If they earn it and they beat us straightup, then that’s the game of baseball.”
