implication o recently re-ported bleach bombings inWest Campus.

When asked about two inci-dents involving water balloonsthrown at minority studentsthis school year, Daz said heelt a stronger community re-sponse was warranted.

wo U proessors areamong several nation-ally chosen scholars to ana-lyze trends in young peo-ples tobacco use and howthose trends correlate totargeted marketing.

Alexandra Loukas, a kine-siology and health educationproessor, and Keryn Pasch, akinesiology and health edu-cation assistant proessor, arepart o the newly oundedobacco Center o RegulatoryScience on Youth and YoungAdults. Te center is housedat the U School o Pub-lic Health, which received agrant rom the U.S. Food andDrug Administration and theNational Institutes o Healthor its research.

Te research will includesurveying U students abouttheir tobacco usage over aperiod o six months and willalso document tobacco mar-keting around campus.

Well be documenting all

outdoor tobacco marketing and also marketing at thepoint o sale, such as at con-

venience stores, gas stations,etc., Loukas said. Well alsodocument advertising andpromotions in the maga-zines and newspapers thatour participants read, on thewebsites they visit and thedirect mail they receive romtobacco companies.

Te goal o the study isnot only to more closely un-derstand the ways in whichU students are being in-uenced by tobacco mar-keting, but also to urtherunderstand the actors thatcan lead to long-term use otobacco products.

Over the past 13 years,cigarette use has been declin-ing but use o non-cigarettealternatives is becoming in-creasingly more popular,Loukas said. Most non-ciga-rette alternatives are avored.Flavored products appeal toyounger, less experienced

Students who ride Ushuttles to campus will needto nd alternate methods tocommute to class starting inthe spring.

Te Capital Metro boardo directors voted unani-mously at a meeting Mondayto eliminate the WickershamLane shuttle route and de-crease the coverage o theCameron Road shuttle routebeginning in spring 2014.

Te Cameron Road route

will only serve students in theCamino La Costa area north

o campus where manygraduate students reside until the end o the spring se-mester, when the route will beeliminated completely.

Pat Clubb, vice presidentor university operations,said the University tries tosupport routes that carry thelargest number o students.

Te University pays$6,435,315.18 to CapMetroor bus and shuttle service,CapMetro spokeswomanMelissa Ayala said. Te

Universitys unding to Cap-Metro remains at even

though CapMetro would haverequired the University to in-crease shuttle unding becauseo rising transportation coststo keep all current routes.

As choices are made, ia route has a low ridership,then it becomes a candidateor elimination since thosedollars can support a routewith much greater ridership,Clubb said.

who live ar rom campusride the shuttle twice a day,while many students wholive in West Campus ride

the shuttle multiple timesper day, so the graduatestudents are underrepre-sented, sociology graduatestudent Chelsea Smith said.

Were paying the sameamount as everybody else,but were [counted] as less,Smith said.

Smith said CapMetroshould count how manypeople ride the bus in addi-tion to the number o ridesthe bus provides.

We all pay these ees, andthe numbers on ridershipthat CapMetro and [Parking

and ransportation Services]are using reer to rides as op-posed to riders, Smith said.

David Villarreal, Gradu-ate Student Assembly com-munications director, saidhe thinks the ridership dataCapMetro used or this de-cision may be incorrect.

Supposedly, every time astudent enters the bus romeither the ront or the rear,they pass through lasersthat count them, Villarrealsaid. However, i you go toany U shuttle, you will seethat the reectors are onlyon the ront door and notthe rear exit. Tis is impor-tant because many studentsenter and exit through therear doors without ever be-ing counted.

Columbia Mishra, Grad-uate Student Assembly

president, said she thinksCapMetro and U shouldhave given students moretime to become inormed onthe issue instead o discuss-ing it in the summer whena majority o students were

not at school. CapMetroheld seven public meetingsin early September and helda public hearing on Sept. 16.

Mishra said transporta-tion services should holdthese types o public orumson campus because it is in-convenient or students to goto the CapMetro headquar-ters to voice their opinions.

Smith said the routecancellations will hurtgraduate and low-incomestudents who live ar romcampus because they willbe orced to move to areasalong shuttle routes, andthese areas will have inat-ed housing prices.

[Tis will] have impli-cations or overall hous-ing costs in all o Austin,Smith said. I people areorced to move into spe-cic areas that are cateredto by shuttles, that is goingto increase housing costs inthose areas.

Biology senior April Shultzsaid she is worried about theCapMetro mainline busesbecoming more crowded.

[Te 7 and 37 buses]are going to be really, reallycrowded now, more thanthey were beore, Shultzsaid. Its just not really agood decision all around orthe community, or this area,or the students that live hereand or the other residents.

I used to always get the uwhen I didnt get the u shot,and ever since I got the shot,I dont get the u so I makesure to get it, York said.

Business reshman FarihaHossain said she gets vac-cinated approximately everyother year and plans to visitUHS sometime this week toget the u vaccine.

I have a really weak im-mune system, Hossain said.I get sick when the weatherchanges rapidly.

Some students dont be-lieve the u shot helps themavoid the u.

I only get it i Im requiredto, biology reshman MarciaRondonuwu said. In highschool, I was in a premedprogram. Because I volun-teered at a hospital, I was re-quired to get a u shot.

Despite some studentsclaims regarding the u vac-cines ineciency, UHS saidit ofers the vaccines in thebest interest o the students.

Were here to keep stu-dents healthy so they can per-orm well academically and intheir personal lives, Bell said.Getting a u shot is the bestway to prevent the u.

biology junior Ashley Fenuyisaid. A lot o my riends lovegoing to hookah bars, but Idont think they really knowthe possible health efects thatcome rom things like that.

Public health junior Des-tinee Clark noted the signi-cance o the research.

I think that understand-ing the efects that comerom these things [is] impor-tant, Clark said. We needthis inormation so we canmake wiser decisions when itcomes to tobacco.

Te FDA and the National

Insitutes o Health will use thendings o the research to in-uence regulation o tobaccoproducts, which will protectthe health o college studentsand the health o the public asa whole, Loukas said.

Because our study isunded by the Food andDrug Administration andthe National Institutes oHealth we hope that ourstudy can inorm regulationo products that are currentlyunregulated, Loukas said.

Te Capital Metro Boardo Directors met Monday todiscuss a number o issues,including the possible shut-ting down o two low-rider-ship shuttle routes that catermainly to graduate students.According to Capital Metro,the University is no longergiving them enough unds tokeep these routes running.

Te Capital Metro boardhad a chance to keep theWickersham Lane and Cam-eron Road shuttle routes, theroutes in question, open, but

aer hearing testimony roma ew key players in the de-bate, it approved their elimi-nation unanimously, 7-0.

Te move didnt come asall that big a surprise to Co-lumbia Mishra, presidento the Graduate StudentAssembly.

It was a ormality on CapMetros part to approve [theproposal], Mishra said.

Tat proposal came aboutthrough discussions last yearby the U Shuttle Com-mittee, which included 11graduate students. Accord-

ing to Parking and rans-

portation Services DirectorBobby Stone, the committeevoted 10-1-4 in avor o thechanges now to be enactedand against ghting or ad-ditional unds to maintainthe routes.

Still, the move will have aproound impact on gradu-ate students. In an interviewwith the Daily exan edito-rial board early this month,Mishra pointed out thatmany graduate students haveto look or housing in theareas the routes in question

service because o a combi-nation o low salaries andhigh rents.

Luckily, the pain wontbe elt all at once. While theWickersham Lane shuttle,which serves several apart-ment complexes south oRiverside Drive, will be dis-continued at the end o thissemester, the Cameron Roadshuttle will be phased out bythe end o next semester. In-stead o being given the ax inDecember, the northernmostshuttle will instead be lim-ited to the apartments along

Camino La Costa starting

next semester beore beingcanceled completely at theend o the school year.

At the hearing, CapitalMetros Principal Planner Ro-berto Gonzalez reiterated theagencys reasons or acceptingthe proposal, including lowridership counts and the pos-sibility o rerouting city busesto ll the gaps le by the routecancellations. However, weremain concerned about theaccuracy o the data on whichso much o this decisionwas based.

Sociology graduate studentChelsea Smith took the op-portunity today to questionwhether simply countingthe number o rides taken ina day was a air measure oroute popularity.

o me that [measure oridership] counts rides, soas U students were all pay-ing into this budget, so thisnumber that were using is thenumber o rides that happen[throughout a] day, Smithsaid. I a student living inWest Campus takes it to androm campus multiple times

a day, that could be, say, six

to eight rides, but as graduatestudents and other studentsliving arther away, were onlytaking the shuttle in once aday ... Were paying the sameamount as everybody else, butwere counting as less.

In addition to Smithsconcerns, GSA communica-tions director David Villar-real, who was not presentat the hearing, has calledinto question the reliabilityo numbers obtained by theagencys onboard automaticcounting technology.

Supposedly, every time astudent enters the bus rom ei-ther the ront or the rear, theypass through lasers that countthem, Villarreal said. Howev-er, i you go to any U shuttle,you will see that the reectorsare only on the ront door andnot the rear exit. Tis is impor-tant because many studentsenter and exit ... without everbeing counted.

We understand that Capi-tal Metro oered studentsseveral chances to speak outagainst the proposal. Wealso understand that there

were a number o graduate

students on the committeethat originally put orth thisproposal. However, we haveto side with Mishra, whotold the board that [stu-dents] need more time andopportunity to participate inthe process.

Granted, members o thepublic were allowed onelast chance to weigh in to-day, but the actual vote wasshoehorned into the end othe meeting in a package omeasures that included un-related items o business such

as the approval o contracts to

implement a customer WiFisystem on city buses and todemolish and remove an ex-isting HVAC chiller.

Students deserve betterthan that. At the very least,they deserve a public orumon our campus, as Mishracalled or Monday. Whilesome o the changes are slat-ed to be implemented nextsemester, the damage doneMonday is not irreversible.Te responsibility now lieswith students to look or aunding solution to keep

students on the shuttles.

Tis uesday, less than amonth into the semester, stu-dents will be asked to vote inthe rst Student Governmentelection o the school yearwhen they elect two rst-year representatives rom the

reshman class. In the buzzthat surrounds both thiselection and the larger elec-tions in the spring, I, mysela Greek member o the Stu-dent Government Assembly,nd mysel struggling withan issue that is oen spokeno but rarely conronted:dominant Greek representa-tion in Student Government.

More than hal o the peo-ple who represent studentsand who make decisions re-garding students academic,external and internal con-cerns come rom 14 percent

o Us general population.Tere are 16 students whoare members o Greek or-ganizations sitting on a31-person legislative body,not to mention the studentbody president, who is also amember o a Greek organiza-tion and holds the power oappointment or more than17 executive agencies.

Tis imbalance is notsomething that has gone un-

noticed, nor is it somethingthat I believe should go un-addressed. Te University oexas at Austin is devotedto creating a diverse and in-clusive campus. However,within Student Government,we all short o achieving thatsame demographic ideal.

It would appear that the

Greek candidates almostalways win their elections,presumably because Greekshave the privileged supporto a large and active voterbase. Unortunately, whilethe support or Greek can-didates is tremendous, evenhumbling, it creates an un-necessary barrier to entry orthe remaining 86 percent oour campus, resulting in thelower level o representationo non-Greek students inthe assembly. All this raisesthe question: How is StudentGovernment as an organi-

zation supposed to addressstudent issues i there isnt adiverse range o students tocontribute their perspectivesand solutions? Te answeris quite simple: It cant. Notully, anyway.

In addition to the obviousproblems with having a ma-jority Greek assembly, thereare many misconceptionsabout Greek representativescaused by the advantages

Greek students have in theelection process. Below arethree examples o complaintsmysel and other StudentGovernment members haveheard and the correspondingresponses I would give, givenmy own experiences:

1. Greek assembly hope-

uls dont have to campaignbecause they automaticallyget the Greek vote.

Te ruth: As a whole, wedo run campaigns. We dedi-cate hours standing on theWest Mall and have trashcans o yers no one actu-ally reads to prove it. Wehave Youube videos, wit-ter accounts, Facebook pages,damaged grades during elec-tion season, riends that areinundated with noticationsabout our platorm pointsand a whole lot o organi-zation meetings to attend

in order to get our namesout there.

2. Greek assembly mem-bers make sure their riendsget positions within StudentGovernment.

Te ruth: All representa-tive positions are elected, andthere is no easible way in-ternal members could grantanyone those positions. Re-garding appointments, the

Executive Board (composedo the President, VP and veother members that essential-ly serve as their cabinet) ex-tensively interview everyonewho lls out the appointmentapplications and ofcially putpeople up or appointments.Once nominated or ap-pointment, each appointee is

careully reviewed by the As-sembly Board (a committeecomprised o all committeechairs, typically representa-tives with experience or rel-evant platorms), and nallythe Student Government As-sembly (composed o college,First Year, and UniversityWide Representatives) ques-tions, debates and votes onthe appointees.

3. Greek members othe assembly are not dedi-cated and dont make anyreal change.

Te ruth: Absolutely un-true. Tere are, admittedly,representatives who are elect-ed and drop the assemblyor a variety o reasons, butthere is no trend that sug-gests these are predominant-ly Greek members. Most ous have excellent attendancerecords, work regularly withadministrators and studentsand oen achieve our plat-orm points by the end o

the session.In short, Greek students

have had many positiveimpacts on our Universitythrough Student Govern-ment. But that doesnt changemy belie that the advantagepossessed by Greek candi-dates in Student Governmentelections is unair. Conse-

quently, I encourage you toendorse the candidates whobest represent your views,whatever background, cul-ture, organization or politi-cal afliation they themselvesmay hold. Te Greek com-

munity is by no means theonly area o campus capableo mobilizing a large supportbase, and more communitieson campus would do well toollow the Greeks example ovoter engagement. Becomeexcited, start campaigns anddont let the Greek commu-nity represent you as much

as it does i you dont eelthat it can adequately addressyour issues. And lastly, bethoughtul when you log intowww.utexasvote.org.

HORNS UP: JUNOT DIAZ DAZZLES STUDENTS WITHOUT SEATS

COLUMN

By Kallen DimitroffGuest Columnist

HORNS DOWN: LGBTQ TEXANS CANT GET ANY SUPPORT

Students should still fght bus route closure

In an article published in the Austin-American States-man on Saturday, Te Associated Press pointed out thatnone o the Republicans running or statewide ofce in2014 support expanding protections or LGBQ groups.Considering the socially conservative nature o our state,this makes sense, but that doesnt mean we cant resentwhoever chained scal conservatism to archaic and im-moral policies against LGBQ citizens. Would it be toomuch to ask or a conservative who dislikes the decitbut doesnt mind i a man marries a man? In exas, ap-parently, the answer is yes.

Beore the event ofcially started, Diaz walkedoutside to the crowd and took student questions or morethan 10 minutes. Its not oen that a Pultizer-prize-win-ning author is so generous with their time, and we thankDiaz or making the money spent on his appearance wellworth it.

UT showcases Magnum Photos collection

From Marilyn Monroeand Fidel Castro to Mohan-das Gandhi, Magnum Photosportray images o culturalicons, political strie and in-ternational conict.

About 200,000 Magnumprints have been donated tothe Ransom Center in whatis expected to be the largestdonation ever made to thecenter. Te photos will be thesubject o lectures, seminarsand individual research or

years to come.Magnum, a coopera-

tive photo agency oundedin 1947 by photographersRobert Capa, David Sey-mour, George Rodger, HenriCartier-Bresson and Wil-liam Vandivert, was the rstphoto agency o its kind,created by photographers,or photographers.

Its a picture agencywhich, by its very incep-tion, changed the wholeprocess o photo agenciesand, thereore, the ace ojournalism in the 20th cen-tury, said Roy Flukinger, se-nior research curator at theRansom Center. It was aradical concept.

Beore Magnum, publica-tions hired photographersor a story and then ownedthe rights to the photos. With

the creation o Magnum,photographers retained therights to their photos aferthey were published and hadgreater say in how their pic-tures were used.

Once they ormed Mag-num, their picture storiesrelected their own inten-tions and their own nar-ratives, so the way thatthey worked wasnt anydierent but the way theirwishes were actually trans-lated into the inal pub-lication were probablymuch stronger once they

had the control, said Jes-sica McDonald, chie cura-tor o photography or theRansom Center.

Tis new level o creativecontrol allowed photogra-phers to publish their ownresh perspectives.

Tey had a point o view,they wanted to tell the storiestheir way and they wantedto control not only the wayphotographs were made, butthe way they were used andthe way that they could telltheir point o view in theirwork, Flukinger said.

Photos taken by Magnumphotographers can be usedafer initial publication. Attimes, their work becamepart o photo books, videosand multimedia projects.

Te Magnum collec-tion seamlessly transitions

between pre-conceived cat-

egories o photojournal-ism, art photography anddocumentary photography.

Something that this exhi-bition is attempting to do isto sort o muddy those cat-egories, to show that whileMagnum has transormed

since its ounding, [those

pre-conceived categories are]not clear, McDonald said. Alot o activities are going onat the same time so the pho-tographs can be understoodin a variety o contexts.

Te photo agency spansthe pre- and post-digital

eras o photography, main-

taining relevance despitedrastic changes in thepublishing industry.

Its not so simple as thisidea o pre-digital and post-digital, McDonald said. Teidea is o constant transor-mation and evolution, and

I think thats how theyre

still successul and howtheyve survived.

Te current exhibit atthe Ransom Center, Radi-cal ransormation: Mag-num Photos into the DigitalAge, is on view throughJanuary 2014.

By Elizabeth Williams@bellzabeth

Aaron Berecka/ Daily Texan Staff

People view the Magnum Photos exhibit at the Ransom Center last Wednesday. Almost 200,000 photos from the agency were

donated to the Ransom Center. The exhibit is free and open through Jan. 5, 2014.

Longhorns dash back to success

Coming into the season,many believed exas big-gest asset would be its stableo talented and experiencedrunning backs.

Ater a dominating per-ormance in which theLonghorns rushed or 359yards in Week 1, exasground attack sculed,averaging just 128 rushingyards and 3.4 yards per car-

ry over the next two games both losses.

exas turned things aroundin a major way against Kan-sas State on Saturday, rackingup 227 yards on the groundon 47 carries while rushingor three touchdowns. Notcoincidentally, this rejuve-nated perormance by thebackeld guided the Long-horns to their rst victory inthree contests. Junior run-ning back Malcolm Brownbelieves the running backspossess an extremely highceiling.

It can be great, Brownsaid. he oensive linewas opening up those holes.We can ind them i t heyreout there. It was great andwe can do things like thatevery week.

Brown turned in his bestperormance o the seasonagainst the Wildcats with 40rushing yards and a touch-down, but it was sophomorerunning back Johnathan Graywho stole the show. Gray ranor a career-high 141 yardswhile scoring two touch-downs, and he believes the

exas oensive line was thekey to the groups turnaround.

Our oensive line did agreat job this week, prepara-tion, knowing the schemes,what K-State was going tobring at us, Gray said. Teydid a great job o block-ing. I had some big openholes. Our job as backs wasto hit them and thats what

we did tonight.he Longhorns know

they are at their best whenthe running backs are set-ting the tempo or the o-ense, as evidenced by lastSaturdays perormance.While the running backsgarnered most o the at-tention ollowing the win,co-oensive coordina-

tor Major Applewhite be-lieves every member o

the exas oense deservescredit or the groundgames turnaround.

I thought it was a greatteam eort. I thought wedid a good job up rontblocking, Applewhite said.I thought our backs did agreat job in breaking tack-

les. When you run the ball,the backs get a lot o credit.

Its the other 10 guys put-ting you in that position.

he Longhorns real-ized their ineective-ness on oense in lossesagainst Brigham YoungUniversity and Ole Missstemmed rom an imbal-ance on oense. Because

o this, exas placed in-creased emphasis on

improving the rushing at-tack heading into its gameagainst the Wildcats.

We really made it a pointat practice that we wantedto improve in our runninggame and be more balanced,senior lef guard rey Hop-kins said. We came in with

the mentality that we weregoing to run the ball.

GYMNASTICScontinues from page 1

Coming weeks daunting for Texasjoint stress that go withthe sport.I had elbow surgery

and ankle surgery, Jour-neay said. I rayed myligaments rom overuse,and I broke o a piece ocartilage in my ankle they

had to take out.According to the Ameri-can College o EmergencyPhysicians, the annualinjury rate o gymnastsis on par with rates re-ported rom contact sportssuch as hockey, soccerand basketball.

Despite these high rateso injuries, exas gym-nastics continues to drawpeople back.

I think a lot o gymnastswill tell you, you spend somuch time in the gym, itjust kind o is your lie,

Journeay said. So when

you stop doing it, you justkind o lose your sense oidentity or a while.

Although gymnastics ismainly an individual sport,the team component isimportant or the squad.

I belong here with these

people and they accept meand they love me, Jour-neay said. I love comingto [the] gym and I couldntimagine being withanyone else.

Although skills andexperiences may vary, onething remains constantacross the team members:their passion or the sportand each other.

We dont win all thetime, but I think that weprobably have the mostun at meets, Vargas said.I could not be more grate-

ul to have a team like this.

exas cant seem to catch

a break.Despite opening up theirBig 12 schedule with a 31-21victory over Kansas State and taking some momentaryheat o head coach MackBrown the Longhornslimped o the eld Saturdayafer losing both junior quar-terback David Ash and ju-nior linebacker Jordan Hicksto injury. Hicks is out or theseason with a torn Achillestendon, and Ashs status isin question or the year as hedeals with a potential secondconcussion in three weeks.

Following its bye week,exas takes on winless IowaState on the road. On pa-per, its a avorable matchupor the Longhorns. Te Cy-clones, who lost both o theirhome games this season, areaveraging just 20.5 pointsa game. In addition, IowaState is ineective at runningthe ball, which has sorryJordan Hicks been exasAchilles heel. Te Cyclonesleading rusher, Sam Rich-ardson, only totaled 86 yardsthis season.

Te Longhorns could be in

or a rough stretch when theyhead to Dallas or the RedRiver Rivalry game againstOklahoma, who shellackedthem 63-21 last season. Ledby senior running back Bren-nan Clay and junior quar-terback Blake Bell, who had

our rushing touchdowns inlast years game, the Soonersboast a rushing attack thatcould give the exas deensets. Oklahoma has beatenthe Longhorns by at least45 points our times in theMack Brown era, includingeach o the past two years.Oklahoma head coach BobStoops would love nothingmore than to send Brownout the door with one naltail kicking.

Afer the Red River Rival-ry, exas hits the road or twoo its next three games, tak-ing on a CU team that hasstumbled out to a disappoint-ing 1-2 record. Although theHorned Frogs have yet tohold an opponent under 20

points, dont underestimatetheir deense: Tey smoth-ered exas in their 20-13 winon Tanksgiving last year.Te ollowing two gamesprovide beatable opponentsor the Longhorns. Tey acea weak Kansas team at homebeore heading to Morgan-town to play West Virginia,which holds a 4-6 coner-ence record since joining theBig 12 last year.

By ar, the toughest stretch

or exas will be its nal threegames, when it will take onBig 12 avorite OklahomaState, upstart exas ech andoensive-juggernaut Baylor.Oklahoma State and Baylorlook especially dangerousbecause they have something

exas doesnt: a game-chang-ing quarterback. Despitesplitting time, J.W. Walshexcelled in Oklahoma Statesthree victories this year, usingboth his arm and legs to rackup 824 yards o oense andseven touchdowns. BaylorsBryce Petty has looked evenbetter, throwing or 1,001yards and eight touchdownswithout an interceptionthus ar.

Tough Brown preaches

one game at a time, some othese games are surely loom-ing in the back o his mind.With our ranked opponentsand only three home gamesremaining or the Longhorns,this teams resilience willbe tested.
