Plaintiff sues UT fraternity a real world job over responsibility for assault to jump-start a real world career

By Bobby Blanchard and Hannah Jane DeCiutiis A former freshman is suing UT fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon, claiming she was sexually assaulted after one of the organization’s parties during new student orientation.

The plaintiff said she was invited to a social event at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house the first night of July 2010 UT freshman orientation, according to the plaintiff ’s original petition. The court document said she was served “trash can punch,” leaving her intoxicated and unable to consent to sexual activity. The plaintiff lost her cell phone and purse and

began to search for the items but later sat down and fell asleep. According to the court documents, she woke the next day in the company of a sexual predator in Williamson County, later saying that she was kidnapped and sexually assaulted. The Daily Texan does not publish the names of alleged rape victims.

James Engels, sport management senior and president of Sigma Phi Epsilon’s UT chapter, declined to comment on the case. Citing the case as an ongoing lawsuit, University officials also declined to comment.

UT-Austin is not involved in the lawsuit.

The plaintiff said by serving her punch with high levels of alcohol, the fraternity assaulted her

and inflicted emotional distress. The student is also suing on the grounds of premise liability, claiming the fraternity failed to keep the house safe and is liable for her assault. She also claims the fraternity failed to provide intoxicated women with transportation home. The plaintiff ’s lawyer did not return The Daily Texan’s calls for comment.

Despite knowledge of the effects of punch laced with alcoholic beverages such as Everclear, the plaintiff claims the fraternity has not acted to reduce the dangers of social events or parties. The documents state these activities “entice sexual predators to the neighborhood, if not into the fraternity house itself.”

Opinion 4

@DTeditorial

Editor-in-Chief Susannah Jacob

Lessons from Happy Valley “First it giveth, then it taketh away.” The rock band Queens of the Stone Age lyrics sum up the situation at Pennsylvania State University.

On July 23, the National Collegiate Athletic Association announced punitive measures against Penn State’s athletic program in response to the university’s internal investigation, which found administrators and coaches covered up the sexual abuse scandal surrounding former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

The NCAA fined Penn State $60 million, banned the school from participating in post-season play for the next four years and scrubbed the Nittany Lions’ football wins from the past 14 years of NCAA records.

Many cheered, but the most outspoken critics questioned whether the NCAA overstepped its bounds with a tooharsh punishment.

More important and a less popular discussion was not the NCAA fine’s fairness, but how American universities have reached the point where athletic departments’ can cough up a $60 million fine.

At UT, $60 million quadruples the money allocated to the university library system in the 2011-12 budget, and further dwarfs the teaching budgets apportioned to many schools and colleges campus-wide.

As with Penn State’s, but few others nationwide, UT’s athletic department is self-sustaining and isn’t subsidized by the university. And while Penn State’s $53.2 million annual revenue from football – which, not coincidentally, is roughly the amount of the NCAA’s fine – may seem large, it’s $20 million short of UT’s football program

The Texas Constitution mandates the establishment of “a university of the first class ... for the promotion of literature, and the arts and sciences.” revenue from the 2010-11 fiscal year, the most recent period for which data is available publicly.

For thousands of students and alumni, college athletics are central to the university experience. UT’s athletic program contributes funds to the university’s general budget.

Eager fans purchase season tickets and officially licensed UT merchandise (the royalties from which contribute to the athletic department’s yearly budget surplus). It is difficult to advocate completely forsaking the department, which earns yearly revenues more than twice the nearly $78 million annual budget for the College of Liberal Arts, the school with the largest budget allocation on campus.

Robert Maynard Hutchins, the reform-minded chancellor of the University of Chicago from 1945-1951 famously said: “There are two ways for a university to be great: It must either have a great football team or a great president.”

Hutchins abolished the University of Chicago’s intercollegiate football program and built a world renowned institution of higher education.

At Penn State, the football program and its former head coach, Joe Paterno, provided the school with millions of dollars’ worth of scholarships and endowment funds and

also gave the school a source of pride and identity. But with its role in the Sandusky scandal, the same football program, the main event in State College, PA or “Happy Valley,” took from the campus what it once gave— money and morale.

Penn State and the University of Chicago teach our university not to conflate the success of our athletic teams with the success of our academic departments. The health of one, financial or otherwise, is often confused with the health of the other , a mistake.

The Texas Constitution mandates the establishment of “a university of the first class ... for the promotion of literature, and the arts and sciences.”

Having a football program that solely perpetuates its own success without significantly contributing to UT’s stated larger mission sidesteps the original justification for the university’s existence.

Penn State also shows that college football, where the stakes and dollar figures are so high, developed a culture of loyalty so unyielding that the welfare of disadvantaged children became a secondary consideration. Few athletic programs operate under stakes as high as those that existed in pre-scandal Penn State, but UT’s is among the few that do.

The cautionary tale of Happy Valley is one from which UT must learn.

A Democrat for Dewhurst

By Troy Enriquez Daily Texan Columnist

Come November, I hope Democrat Paul Sadler will be the new junior U.S. Senator of Texas. Sadler is a selfproclaimed Progressive with a proven track record behind his liberal Democrat label. But, despite my hopes, recent Texas electoral history and the state’s political climate suggest the November election will not send Sadler to Washington, D.C. So, Progressive Democrats should participate in tomorrow’s Republican Primary Runoff between former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz and Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst. For Progressive Democrats, David Dewhurst is the best option.

Dewhurst publicly affirmed his support for a guest-worker program in 2007. His more recent anti-immigrant rhetoric represents his response to Cruz attacking his conservative credentials – not a surprising shift for an office-seeking candidate.

But if Dewhurst is elected to a

six-year term and Democrats make significant electoral gains in the nation’s legislative body (likely with the President on the ballot), the Lieutenant Governor’s prior support for immigration reform might re-emerge.

In addition, the six-year term will permit Dewhurst to work with President Barack Obama (presuming he wins a second term) on immigration reform, since Dewhurst wouldn’t face re-election until 2018.

Ted Cruz, on the other hand, has not exhibited progressive behavior at all. Cruz will undoubtedly be, as other Tea Party - affiliated candidates have been, loyal to a fault to radical Conservatives.

David F. Prindle, a UT government professor, agrees that Texas Progressives stand not only to have a significant impact in this Republican primary but in the general election as well.

Prindle said, “The problem with Progressives is not that they do not exist in Texas. The problem is that they do not go to the polls on election day. Voter turnout in presidential years is about 55 percent in the state; in congres-

sional years it is closer to 30 percent. If the Progressives would go to the polls and vote for Sadler in November, it would not matter which Republican had been nominated.”

But recent Texas electoral history indicates that after the November election, a Republican will likely occupy the seat left open by retiring Republican U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. The outstanding question is whether it will be someone as radical as Cruz, whose Tea Party ties have been well-advertised by his campaign, or a somewhat reasonable moderate Republican who has only turned up the ridiculous Tea Party rhetoric due to being a candidate.

Paul Sadler will have my vote come November, but Dewhurst is my guy tomorrow. Conservatives will certainly come out in November, dousing any hope of a Sadler victory. However, Progressives can capitalize on an increasingly divided Republican primary-runoff and put Dewhurst, rather than Cruz, on the November ballot.

UT signs Southwest Airlines Amendment may limit co-op, as Texas Exes, athletic sponsor Greek housing near campus

By Hannah Jane Deciutiis

The first UT football game this fall will not only feature a new starting quarterback but will also introduce a new six-figure sponsor to the UT community.

Dallas-based Southwest Airlines, whose CEO, Gary Kelly, is a UT alumnus, announced July 23 that it will sponsor all 20 official UT sports teams as well as the Texas Exes alumni association for the next five years. The -sponsorship will be managed dthrough multimedia marketing -company IMG College, which tcoordinates all sponsorships dfor UT athletics.

athletics director, said the sponsorship involves a substantial six-figure per-year deal that will give Southwest a great deal of advertising opportunities. Plonsky did not reveal how much Southwest paid in the deal.

“The sponsorship involves cash and some services such as airline vouchers for travel and things like that,” Plonsky said. “The elements within the agreement will give exposure to Southwest through signage, video boards and other things.”

In the athletics department, Plonsky said the money from the sponsorship will support overall operations associated with each sports team.

“The dollars they pay IMG, which then go to the University, inevitably all go to support our operations here, which support our student athlete teams,” Plonsky said.

Tim Taliaferro, a spokesman for Texas Exes, said the sponsorship is smaller for the alumni association than it is for UT athletics, but still important for those who want to stay in touch with what goes on at the University.

“Texas Exes exists to champion the University and to keep people connected,” Taliaferro said.

Scott Willingham, vice president and general manager of Longhorn IMG Sports Marketing, the IMG division in charge of UT athletics marketing, said the sponsorship will be divided between the athletics department and Texas Exes according to the value of each group.

As the official airline sponsor, Southwest takes its place at the top level of sponsorship over any other airline that

There are lots of longhorns at Southwest for whom this was a very special deal, — Brad Hawkins, Southwest Airlines spokesman

wishes to sponsor the University, Willingham said. He said other airlines wishing to advertise at UT can buy media time on radio or television.

“No other airline can be official,” he said.

An official sponsorship allows a corporation to use trademarks associated with the University, Willingham said.

“Official sponsors have certain assets,” Willingham said.

“Mainly they have the rights to use marks and logos. They also have the right to say that they’re official.”

Brad Hawkins, Southwest Airlines spokesman, said the decision to partner with the University was business-oriented, as well as positive for employees of the airline.

“There are lots of longhorns at Southwest for whom this was a very special deal,” Hawkins said. “But it was very much a business decision about aligning two brands that have a lot of value.”

Co-operative and Greek housing has always been an alternative housing choice for college students and residents in Austin, but City Council is considering a new ordinance amendment that will make it difficult for these organizations to expand or build any future co-ops in areas close to UT. The amendment, proposed by the Central Austin Neighborhood Planning Advisory Committee, an organization that represents seven neighborhood associations across Austin, arises from the concern that the presence of group housing like co-ops or Greek houses will bring down the value of single family homes. The council is currently set to vote on this ordinance on Aug. 16. Joshua Sabik, the chair of an ad hoc committee of cooperative residents against the ordinance, said their first goal was to postpone the voting date.

“Right now the city council meeting would be before the school year, so that would really discourage student participation in this process,” Sabik, a UT student, said.

Sabik said the group is also working to build grassroots support among students and the neighborhoods. Sabik said he has tried to reach out to some Greek organizations on the issue but has not heard back.

“We believe co-ops are a good thing on the whole, not just for the members, but for the city,” Sabik said. “We are working to educate our supporters on their ability to influence this policy.”

City of Austin senior planner Robert Heil said the ordinance amendment would make group housing conditional on properties that have a base zoning designation of MF-4, a multi-family district. This means owners would have to gain approval from the planning commission before building a cooperative or a Greek home

on the property. If approved, this new rule will include the Hancock neighborhood, the Heritage Hills neighborhood and the Shoal Crest neighborhood. Heil said the ordinance would also affect an area in West Campus that is north of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, south of 34th Street and between North Lamar Boulevard and Leon Street.

Heil said requiring group housing to get a conditional use permit from the planning commission is not an easy or quick task.

“A conditional use permit is part of the zoning code,” Heil said. “Zoning changes, because of the notification requirements, are rarely done faster than three months, and if there is great public discussion then sometimes they can take longer.”

The planning commission can either deny or grant the request, with conditions attached. If the person or group of people owning the

Their bodies are tanned from the sun, their muscles bulging from the endurance — all for the sake of a 10 minute, elaborately-designed, dramatic performance that encompasses props, costumes and music. Drum Corps International, the NFL of marching band, attracts more than 8,000 people to audition for a place in a toptier corps. They tour the United States, perfecting their seasonal shows and competing against each other up to the championship in Indianapolis. I followed D.C.I. at its three competitions in Texas: Round Rock, Cypress and San Antonio and specifically followed the corps Troopers at their host site to catch a glimpse of what their daily lives are like. Their dedication to the physically gruelling and mentally challenging routines, practices and hours-long rehearsals is palpable. They are athletes of an unconventional variety.

CO-OP

continues from page 5 property are not happy with the ruling, they can appeal to the council, which will make the final decision.

But while Heil said the conditional permit typically takes three months to grant, Sabik said this is not always the case.

He said in the late ‘90s, a group of people began to work to get a conditional permit to build the Sasona Co-operative in South Austin. Sabik said this permit took several years and thousands of dollars to get.

Because conditional use permits for group housing are not guaranteed, purchasing any property that has an MF-4 base zoning designation in the specified areas is a gamble.

Alan Robinson, the general administrator of the College Houses organization, said this discourages building new coops. College Houses is an organization that manages some co-ops in West Campus.

“The ultimate effect, which may be unintended, is that it

creates so much uncertainty that we won’t be able to close on a property,” Robinson said.

Sabik said cooperatives do more than offer more affordable housing close to campus.

“Co-ops also provide community, and that sort of community support is important for a healthy student,” Sabik said. “Having the support of a community tends to help people not only in their personal lives and their professional lives but also in their academic lives.”

Cooperatives are also good for economic development, Sabik said. He said some of the original funding and leadership for the grocery story Wheatsville Co-op came from cooperatives.

“One of the great things about co-ops is you have people from diverse backgrounds coming together to form a supportive community,” Sabik said. “It’s really like a family, a home away from home.”

Mike Hirsch, Hancock Neighborhood Association president and Hancock CANPAC representative, said group housing often decreases the property value of single family

homes in neighborhoods.

“Non-owner occupied housing can lead to problems because the folks who rent those properties are not invested in the neighborhood, they are shortterm residents oftentimes,” Hirsch said. “I know this is a concern for students, but I don’t think students understand. They’re only here for four or five years, but this is our home.”

Hirsch said he remembers times when large parties in his neighborhood have caused problems.

“I don’t want to have to clean up after vomiting students every weekend and pick up after broken glass,” Hirsch said. “I’ve been out there in the street, calling emergency services because there is a person in the street asleep with vomit all over themselves, and when the emergency services arrive, they can’t even wake the person from their sleep.”

But Robinson, the general administrator of the College Houses organization, said discounting students because they need temporary housing

is not fair.

“If you look at the number of people, I would guess most of those neighborhoods are students,” Robinson said. “To try to marginalize students by saying they aren’t going to be there forever, well, you can’t say that. That’s where students live, they need to be represented.”

Hirsch said the issue of group housing near campus has been a priority and an issue for CANPAC for about five years. Hirsch did acknowledge that if the ordinance amendment passed, then purchasing a property with a conditional use permit for group housing would be an extreme gamble, but he does not think that would prevent any future cooperatives or Greek housing from being built.

“Neighborhoods change, we see neighborhoods transform and the people occupying the neighborhoods change as well,” Hirsch said. “So I don’t think this is necessarily closing the door to co-ops or fraternities or sororities. But it is going to involve more deliberate discussion.”

McCoy, Ash contend for starting gig as fall nears

By Christian Corona The Longhorns have two great running backs returning and another prolific tailback prospect preparing for his freshman season.

Their defense should be one of the best in the country.

But all anyone wants to talk about is the quarterback.

It doesn’t help that, for the second straight year, Texas will go into fall camp without officially naming a starter behind center.

After his

David Ash

Set a school record in 2011 for touchdown passes by a true freshman with four. He also rushed for 103 yards and one touchdown.

performance in the Longhorns’ win over Cal in last December’s Holiday Bowl, the consensus among the general public is that David Ash will beat out Case McCoy for the top spot on the depth chart. But according to head coach Mack Brown, the competition for the starting quarterback job might be closer than people think.

“I don’t think it’s a done deal,” Brown said. “Everything I’m hearing is that Case isn’t giving up. He’s in better shape. He’s bigger and stronger, he’s really fighting this summer. I think this thing’s a lot closer. You always throw David out there because you’ve already made your decision. But I think you’re wrong. I think you need to wait and see.”

Garrett Gilbert was not named Texas’ starting quarterback last year until less than a week before the team’s season opener against Rice, despite starting all 12 games the previous season and none of his three challengers having completed a pass since their high school days.

Ash caught a touchdown p a s s , threw

another, and was named MVP of the final game the Longhorns played last year. He’s considered a more athletic signal-caller and the odds-on favorite to win the job.

“I thought David really managed the game well at Cal,” Brown said.

“They both won significant games, one against — Case against A&M in College Station at the end of the year, David Ash in the Bowl game against Cal. So we’re coming in at a much better place this year than we were last year.”

McCoy, who led Texas to a comeback victory over BYU after Gilbert exited with a shoulder injury in the second game of last season, had his moments. He was not picked off until the regular season finale against Baylor, a contest where he recorded three touchdown tosses — as many as Ash, who was intercepted on his 22nd throw of the year, had in the entire regular season. The week before, McCoy marched Texas downfield on a drive that saw him scramble for 25 yards and set up Justin Tucker for a game-winning kick as time expired to beat Texas A&M last Thanksgiving.

“He made plays with his feet at A&M. He hung in there,” Brown said.

“We didn’t play great but he didn’t get us beat. Then he had the turnovers at Baylor. I think both of them are relatively unknown quarterbacks.”

Whoever wins the job will have one of the nation’s best running games and defenses supporting them. Malcolm Brown was on pace to rush for more than 1,000 yards before suffering a turf toe injury midway through last season. Joe Bergeron was also productive before an ailing hamstring limited his effectiveness over the last five games of 2011.

Texas will also have the only backfield in the country with two tailbacks that

were considered the top players at their position coming out of high school, thanks to the arrival of this year’s Gatorade National Football Player of the Year Johnathan Gray.

“I didn’t really see a clear leader there in the competition,” said junior guard Mason Walters. “I think all three of our backs can [take pressure off the quarterbacks] but that’s going to have to be great play by everybody else. You can’t just have a good quarterback and a good receiver.

We’ve got to block for them.”

The Longhorns lose five starters on defense, all of whom have signed with teams in the NFL, but second-year defensive coordinator Manny Diaz should have one of the best units in college football.

Jackson Jeffcoat and Alex Okafor could be the nation’s best pass rush tandem, while Texas might have as many three candidates in the secondary for the Thorpe Award. One of them is junior cornerback Carrington Byndom.

“It’s going to come down to who performs the best in fall camp,” Byndom said of the quarterback competition. “Our goal is to take as much pressure off them and put them in the best situation that we can. If we can do that, we’ll have a heck of a season.”

Case McCoy

Completed 61.4% of his passes as a sophomore in 2011 while throwing seven touchdown passes and four interceptions.
