After two years of archi-tectural planning, Robert B. Rowling Hall, the new Mc-Combs School of Business graduate building, is one step closer to opening.

UT-Austin President Wil-liam Powers Jr., Robert B. Rowling, former System re-gent and UT-Austin alumnus, and other University officials broke ground Friday on the building at the corner of Gua-dalupe Street and Martin Lu-ther King Jr. Boulevard.

Set to open in early 2017, Rowling Hall will include a café, an auditorium, a special events space and classrooms for graduate students in business administration and technology commercializa-tion, according to a Universi-ty statement. In a statement, Thomas Gilligan, McCombs School of Business dean, said the building would provide the necessary facilities for growing graduate programs.

At Friday’s groundbreak-ing, Rowling said the new building could push the business programs’ national rankings to the top. Last year, Forbes ranked the McCombs School of Business at No. 21 among the nation’s top busi-ness schools.

“There’s one goal here — to make this business school the best in the country,” Rowling said.

Rowling said Gilligan has started recruiting new facul-ty for the graduate program.

“It’s not about a building,” Rowling said. “As great as the building is, if we don’t fill it with faculty that’s the best in the country, then we’re failing.”

In March, Rowling pledged $25 million for the construction of the $155 million building, earn-ing his namesake on the

Entering the weekend, the Texas football season had been mostly noted for its missed opportunities. The Longhorns entered their matchup against No. 23 West Virginia 0-4 against top-25 teams, riding a seven-game losing streak against ranked teams.

All of that changed Sat-urday when the Longhorns played their best half of the season in the game’s first 30 minutes, and the defense held strong in the second half to beat the Mountain-eers, 33-16.

The win marks the first time Texas has notched consecutive victories under first-year head coach Char-lie Strong.

“It’s a really good win for our program,” Strong said. “We just, week by week, we continue to get better.”

The Longhorns managed to strike first on a 2-yard touch-down pass from sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes to senior tight end Geoff Swaim. The Mountaineers responded with a 48-yard kick return and managed to drive the ball inside the

Texas 2-yard line.However, the Longhorns

held tough against the wall near the end zone, stuffing the Mountaineers on third-and-goal at the Texas 1-yard line. The Mountaineers came away

from the drive with a field goal, but the goal-line stand made a statement.

“I think that kind of set the momentum,” senior line-backer Jordan Hicks said. “The crowd was into it; the defense

was able to stop them. We got a few tackles for losses and held them there on the goal line. That’s gigantic.”

The Longhorns gashed the Mountaineers on the ground to the tune of 227 yards,

including 101 yards by junior running back Johnathan Gray. Senior running back Malcolm Brown added 90 yards on the ground on 20 carries.

Around 4:30 p.m., UTPD officer Amberly Weyand gets her first call of the eve-ning while on patrol. The radio attached to her uni-form begins to crackle, in-dicating she’s receiving a call from dispatch.

The description and loca-tion of the call appear on a computer screen in Wey-and’s vehicle. It’s a welfare concern call involving a homeless man whom wit-nesses have said appears publicly intoxicated. Wey-and drives her SUV patrol vehicle toward 21st Street to assess the situation.

The Texas Advanced Com-puting Center will undergo a $20 million expansion to its facilities at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus over the next year.

“We were asked what our highest priority was for the center, and one of those was expanding our space and re-search capabilities,” TACC spokeswoman Faith Singer-Villalobos said.

“It’s gifts like these that will affect the lives of the students and the leaders of Texas for years to come,”

Powers said.Eric Hirst, associate

dean for McCombs Gradu-ate Programs, said gradu-ate students, alumni, facul-ty, staff and a design team developed the features of the building over the past two years.

“Collectively, we’ve de-signed a building that’s

going to be a real game changer,” Hirst said. “It’s designed to attract a diverse set of talented students from around the world and to engage them with overlapping communities, faculty, alumni, society, the business community and thought leaders across cam-pus and around the world.”

Stephanie Tacy | Daily Texan StaffDJ Osh Kosh, member of the Atlanta collective Two-9, hypes the crowd for their perfor-mance during Big KRIT’s Pay Attention Tour at Scoot Inn on Thursday night.

FRAMES featured photo been part of this first 10-1 and November election, which has brought so many new participants into the city’s democratic process,” Riley said. “I hope that as Austin settles into this new system, we continue to listen and respond to the voices that I’ve been hear-ing on the campaign trail — the students, the rent-ers, the younger and newer residents, and everyone who wants the opportunity to live closer, live smaller and drive less. They are Kathie’s constituents and those of the new council members, and they deserve to be heard and represented.”

With Riley’s decision, Tovo is now the third con-firmed member of the new City Council. Delia Gar-za of District 2 and Ann Kitchen of District 5 were the only two City Coun-cil candidates to win their races outright. The other seven districts, along with the mayor’s race between Steve Adler and City Coun-cil member Mike Martinez, will be decided at the Dec. 16 runoff election. Tovo said she was surprised when Riley informed her of his decision, but she looks forward to working with him in the future.

“I think that Chris has a lot of expertise that’s helped this city advance, particu-larly with multimodal trans-portation,” Tovo said. “I certainly anticipate continu-ing to reach out to him on that issue and others. I ex-pect he’ll continue to be in-volved in this community in many ways.”

With her seat on the new City Council secure, Tovo said she will make use of her extra time.

“Not having a runoff re-ally provides me to focus on wrapping up on some of my current council projects and getting ready to work with my new colleagues on the new 10-ONE council,” Tovo said.

As District 9 covers parts of campus, North Campus, West Campus and Hyde Park, Tovo said the race had a high amount of student involvement. She said that she and Riley both felt it was important that college students stay involved in the political process.

“One of the things we talked specifically about is the importance of continu-ing to involve students,” Tovo said. “There was a lot of student engagement in the District 9 race, and I look forward to continuing to work with students and making sure they have a voice at City Hall.”

Calls like this one are common on the evening shift, which involves dealing with a variety of different situations, Weyand said.

“You get different types of calls. So day shift, they mostly deal with collisions and thefts, whereas evening shift, we get a nice mixture of both day shift-type calls and night shift-type calls,” Weyand said. “And then night shift is strictly, you know,

smell of marijuana calls, alco-hol related, DWI — that’s basi-cally all they’re doing.”

Weyand, who graduated from the University in 2012, is one of UTPD’s nine eve-ning patrol officers. These officers work five days a week from 3-11 p.m., re-sponding to everything from door alarms — the most common evening calls — to marijuana possessions and bike thefts on campus.

The most exciting part of the job, according to Wey-and, is putting the pieces to-gether to catch suspects.

“We get those calls where we’re chasing someone, or we’re actively looking for a suspect. And then it’s like a puzzle,” Weyand said. “Once you get that person detained, you’re like, ‘Okay, what do we have here?’ So we have our laws and the pe-nal code and our arrest au-thorities. It’s about figuring out how those puzzle pieces fit together.”

Weyand said much of the evening shift involves dealing with homeless in-dividuals and criminal trespass warnings.

“We do deal with a lot of the homeless population, es-pecially in the Union build-ing. They get into fights or are drunk, and we issue them criminal trespass warnings,” Weyand said. “We only have to arrest them if they have a protective order or if they’re being violent. Usually we just try to help them out.”

Each patrol officer’s eve-ning starts off at the Univer-sity Police Building, where officers attend a briefing before shift starts. They then get into assigned patrol cars and make rounds around their respective sections. These sections, or districts, are numbered one through five, and officers are respon-sible for crimes that occur in their respective districts.

“My district is four, which covers the Jester area and around the Student Activity Center to the PCL,” Weyand said. “It’s condensed, but I get a lot of activity from Jester.”

Weyand said game days are the busiest days for eve-ning patrol because of alco-hol-related calls.

“Game day, working on the streets, it’s pretty hectic

because all of the roads are blocked off, so it’s hard to get around,” Weyand said. “Your basis for what’s public intoxi-cation varies on game days be-cause everyone’s drinking. As long as they have someone so-ber there to take care of them and take them home, that’s the route that we typically take.”

One of the most challeng-ing parts of the job, according to Weyand, is trying to track down suspects when there’s not much evidence to go on.

“I think the best calls are when … we have a crime that just occurred, and we’re able to canvas the area and search for that subject — that’s exciting,” Weyand said. “But the major-ity of our calls are thefts that occurred [earlier] that morn-ing, or whatever, and we don’t have the suspect information, so that makes it tough for us.”

Despite these challenges, Weyand said she enjoys the sense of service and re-sponsibility that comes with helping people.

“It’s really about showing some empathy, [and try-ing] to put yourself in their shoes,” Weyand said. “Not everybody needs to go to jail. We just try to give them the resources that they deserve.”

quality,” Singer-Villalobos said.

According to Singer-Villalobos, the facility is classified as a “comprehen-sive cyber-infrastructure,” which is a technological environment dedicated to research and science. Singer-Villalobos said that there has always been a visualization lab on the UT campus, but TACC re-cently expressed the need for one of its own on the J.J. Pickle campus.

“TACC’s primary goals are to provide the office space that would con-solidate staff from mul-tiple locations into one,” senior project manager Jim Shackelford said.

The building will house about 70 new employees and 20 students, according

to Singer-Villalobos, and there will also be an audi-torium for 260 people and a “flexible training” room for 50 people.

Shackelford said TACC provides research capa-bilities to those at UT and researchers from around the world.

“TACC has really put UT-Austin on the map as a tech-nological hub,” UT spokes-man Gary Susswein said.

Singer-Villalobos said the TACC has been on campus since 2001 and conducts re-search in the field of advanced computing while also provid-ing resources such as data-driven computing, data analy-sis and cloud storage. She also said TACC supports more than 3,000 active and funded research projects.

“I think you’re going to see a lot more research be-ing done with this expan-sion,” Susswein said.

CAMPUS ART

SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

Anthropology associate professor Chris Kirk aided a research team in describing a new species of prehistoric mammal from Madagascar.

The research team, led by David Krause of Stony Brook University, unearthed the mammal called Vintana sertichi, which lived during the late Cretaceous and Mio-cene periods.

With the help of micro-computerized tomography, which uses computer-pro-cessed X-rays to produce images of specific areas of a scanned object, researchers studied the cranial anatomy of this group in order to find out more about its physical features and diet.

“The externally visible

anatomy of [Vintana ser-tichi] tells us a lot about its diet and mastication,” Kirk said. “These mammals were herbivores that had flat mo-lar teeth that rubbed back and forth to chew.”

According to Kirk, UT has been at the forefront of this new micro-CT technology and even uses it on campus.

“UT has a dedicated mi-cro-computerized tomogra-phy lab in the Jackson School [of Geosciences],” Kirk said. “People at UT have been do-ing this for a while.”

The research team found that Vintana sertichi also probably had large eyes and good high-frequency hearing.

“The hypothesis is that mammals went through a bottleneck in their evolution,” Kirk said. “Throughout the

Mesozoic era, most mam-mals were thought to be nocturnal, and they need-ed good senses of hearing, touch and smell to func-tion at night. However, the large eyes of [Vintana sertichi] are more difficult to interpret since there are a number of different reasons that some living mammals have evolved large eyes.”

According to Kirk, the evolution of mammals like Vintana sertichi, called gondwanatheres, has been poorly understood.

“[Vintana sertichi] give us our first glimpse of gond-wanatheres beyond isolated jaws and teeth, which in turn has yielded important new insights into gondwanathere evolutionary relationships and adaptations,” Kirk said.

The Blanton Museum of Art hosted artist Doris Sal-cedo for a lecture Friday and to celebrate the opening of an exhibit of Salcedo’s work.

According to museum di-rector Simone Wicha, the Blan-ton is featuring an exhibit with Salcedo’s work now through Feb. 22. Wicha said Salcedo spend much of her time in the morning talking with graduate art students at UT during her visit Friday.

“Today has been a unique and exciting day for those students and for all of us here tonight to have Doris here in Austin to give us her per-spective on art,” Wicha said.

Since the mid-1980s, Sal-cedo has worked on sculp-tures and installations that depict political violence, persecution and racism. Sal-cedo’s pieces focus on the contemporary works of her native country of Colombia and look more broadly at conflicts around the world.

“When it comes to talking

about art, I have a hard time talking about it,” Salcedo said. “But when it comes to my art, I find it even more difficult.”

Within her works, Salcedo said trying to depict mourning is sometimes a frontier that people cannot penetrate, and, although it may not be clear, violence always makes an im-age for itself.

Out of her art works, some of the pieces she talked about at the lecture included “A Flor de Piel” and “Noviembre 6 y 7.” In “A Flor de Piel,” Salcedo sewed thousands of petals to-gether to represent lingering between life and death and how vulnerable the petals are. “Noviembre 6 y 7” depicts the 1985 Colombian Supreme Court hostage situation when a guerilla group held the su-preme court for two days.

Salcedo said she cannot see herself doing any other kind of art.

“I am thankful for every-thing I have,” Salcedo said. “I am especially thankful for those who allowed me to tell their story. Without them, I would not be here.”

Liberty in North Korea, or LiNK, an on-campus humanitarian organization, held an awareness event at Gregory Plaza on Friday to raise funds for North Ko-rean refugees.

According to Hamaila Qureshi, nutrition senior and the organization’s presi-dent, LiNK seeks to raise awareness about the living conditions of refugees from North Korea.

“We want to focus on what the people are go-ing through,” Qureshi said. “We do a lot of fundraising to rescue refugees hiding in China because China doesn’t recognize them as economic migrants.”

Qureshi said LiNK is an international organization that will take refugees to un-disclosed shelters in places

such as North America or South Korea, depending on where the refugees want to move.

“We saved a mom, Hae-jung, and her daughter Su,” Qureshi said. “They are currently residing in South Korea. One of our members, [a UT alum], actually goes to South Ko-rea and keeps up with her and Su. It’s really nice how we get to stay in touch with them.”

The organization is cur-rently raising funds for its ninth refugee. Accord-ing to Qureshi, it takes around $3,000 to rescue a refugee.

“Right now, we’ve made $1,800,” Qureshi said. “On campus, we do have a lot of people who are interested. We raise about $1,000 for each event, so it does make an impact.”

The event Friday focuses

on Jangmadang, the North Korean black market. To educate the students about conditions for the people in North Korea, the or-ganization set up a mock black market.

Lizzy Barbaree, unspeci-fied business freshman and LiNK member, said the group’s original aim was just to raise awareness about the conditions in North Korea, but, with the items they sell, they can also save lives.

“We are selling note-books, bracelets, lip balm and key chains,” Barba-ree said. “A lot of stuff

is actually handmade, and we also designed the T-shirts.”

Amanda Wong, Biol-ogy sophomore, pur-chased a food prod-uct called “Choco Pie” because she believes in the organization’s cause.

“I read the news and know what’s going on in North Korea,” Wong said. “[North Korea] stopped giving Choco Pie, and South Korea sent over a lot of Choco Pie in retaliation. I think it’s wrong for them to not allow them to have Choco Pie; that food gives them a sense of hope.”

In search for Powers’ replacement, committee has difficult taskEDITORIAL

Over the summer, UT System Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa flexed his political muscle by attempting to force President William Powers Jr. to resign in time for the July Board of Regents meet-ing or face a public firing. The plan backfired, to put it mildly. The student body rallied to Powers’ defense, and the imbroglio culminated with Pro-vost Greg Fenves announcing at a meeting of the Faculty Council that Powers and Cigarroa had reached a deal whereby the former would stay on through the end of this academic year.

Not long after the compromise was struck, the System assembled a search committee to recom-mend to the regents a suitable replacement. Since the official announcement of its membership, which includes three regents, in mid-September, the committee has met once. This leaves plenty of time for an excellent candidate to be chosen, but the committee members, who are assisted by the executive search consulting firm Spencer Stuart, will have to think carefully and creatively about ex-actly what sort of leader the University needs next.

The first and clearest delineation will be be-tween internal and external candidates. Native sons and daughters will rightly enjoy a distinct advantage over Longhorn tenderfoots among the UT-dominated search committee. They will have had ample opportunity, particularly if of the aspi-rational sort, to capture the attention of the 21 in-dividuals acting as filters to the regents and prove

their understanding of and loyalty to the Universi-ty. We imagine that chief among these candidates would be Fenves, the current provost and former engineering dean. (Fenves, for his part, previously had no comment on whether he was interested in the job or being considered for it.)

But the regents, whose allegiances seem to have shifted away from Powers, will likely be biased to-ward outside candidates. With Powers enjoying less-than-unanimous support from the regents, they may well be looking for someone untainted by his influence. If this is indeed one of their deter-mining criteria, Fenves’ service to the University could, unfortunately, act as an immediate black mark against him; not only does he report to Pow-ers, but he is also seen as a very clear Powers man.

Given the recent hostile environment toward Powers, however, it will take a very special non-UT academic or administrator to want the job. Granted, one might have said something similar about the position vacated by former head football coach Mack Brown, but for reasons of self-preser-vation, most potentially interested candidates may not want to expose themselves to the same fate as Powers, whose views, at least before his deeply concerning final State of the University Address, were mainstream for the academic community.

That could mean someone from outside the academy. This seems to us the most disturb-ing possibility. A little business savvy certainly

wouldn’t hurt the University at a time of greater reliance on non-state sources of funding, but what the University needs most of all is a leader who will not bend under the pressure of the current batch of mostly anti-intellectual regents appointed by outgoing governor Rick Perry.

In other words, the committee has a

challenging task before it: to find a candidate pal-atable to the regents who won’t kowtow to their business-oriented demands. While we would prefer to see an existing Longhorn installed, we place the greatest value on their independence of mind, because while the worst may have passed, the University still needs a fighter in the Tower.

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series of Q-and-A’s with the deans of the University’s 18 schools and colleges. Ward Farnsworth was appointed dean of the law school in 2012.

The Daily Texan: What would you say are the major initiatives that you’ve under-taken since you came to the University?

Ward Farnsworth: My biggest concern about legal education is that it’s gotten a lot more expensive, and the expected val-ue of the degree has not kept pace with the rising expense. For many years, the UT law school was the most remarkable deal in American legal education. It was almost free, and it provided a top tier credential and top tier opportunities. A lot of that is still true, but I can no longer claim that we’re almost free. Our tuition’s gone up a lot, as it has at most law schools. Our tu-ition is still, for in-state residents, $15,000 a year less than at any other school in the top 15 ... But if we are going to try to rec-reate the really great conditions of being a student here that this place traditionally has been associated with, it’s going to have to be through alumni support.

DT: Could you say more about reaching out to alumni for donations?

Farnsworth: Most of our alumni think this was an extraordinary decision they made to come to UT Law School. What they don’t all think and know is that we need their support. If you go to a law school almost for free, it probably doesn’t occur to you that the law school needs a lot of support from alumni, and at one time, we didn’t. When we were supported mostly by the state, alumni contributions were helpful, but we didn’t need every-body to be on board and everybody to be in. That’s changed, and a lot of our alum-ni, once they understand that’s changed, are very happy to get more involved with financial support ... I spend a lot of time studying what’s going on in other schools,

and most of them have models in which their alumni support the school in larger percentages than ours have. So part of my drive has been not to seek huge gifts, al-though every dean likes a huge gift, but also just to get more of our alumni par-ticipating at all and giving back to the school.

DT: I’m just curious what your response is to all the charges that have come out about how legislators are helping students who apply get into the law school when they might not deserve it based on their LSAT scores or their bar passage rates.

Farnsworth: I occasionally get let-ters or calls from legislators who want to put a good word in for a constituent. I’ve never thought there was anything untow-ard about it. Sometimes the applicant gets in, and sometimes not. It depends on the whole file. I’m fine with telling legislators that we aren’t going to be able to admit candidates they support. I’ve done that, and have found them good-natured about it.

DT: What areas of law do students at the UT Law School want to go into? What are the most popular areas?

Farnsworth: A lot of them are attracted to the energy area ... Intellectual property is an area that a lot of students are interest-ed in. We have a lot of students who want to do public interest work ... A majority of our students spend some time just help-ing out an underserved population with their legal needs. For the students who do that, they usually say it’s one of the great things they did in law school, and it whets their appetite for more of the same when they get out ... It’s my general feeling that if you go to the flagship public law school in the state of Texas, when you get out, you ought to be able to afford to work for the state of Texas, and we’re doing everything we can to enable that.

Q-AND-A

In the Valley, no cowboys to be seenFIRING LINE

By Syed RizviDaily Texan Columnist

@SyedMuzziRizvi

Palestine issues are humanitarian COLUMN

Last week, the inaugural president of the Uni-versity of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Guy Bailey, submitted an official mascot recommendation to the UT System Board of Regents that was later approved. His selection of the unfounded “Va-queros,” however, is problematic in many ways. Brief moments after the mascot recommenda-tion was announced, the ridiculed mascot be-came the victim of a nationwide trend on Twitter.

Whereas the intention was noble to pay trib-ute to North American cowboys and cowboy culture, the mascot does not accurately repre-sent the region as Bailey believes. In fact, hardly anyone in the Valley would describe themselves as a Vaquero. Aside from this, the most press-ing of all issues with this mascot selection would be its sexist innuendo. Imagine the sound of the women’s volleyball team — the UT RGV Vaque-ros, and yet no men are in the group. Both UT-Brownsville and UT-Pan American, which are being consolidated to form UT-Rio Grande Val-ley, boast a higher number of women than men

among their student bodies, so it saddens me as a former UT-Brownsville student to see that not enough is being done to include this majority.

While forming a new institution, the Board of Regents should challenge themselves to be more inclusive in a 21st-century environment. We do not live in a world of vaqueros anymore, nor do we want to promote a sexist environment. As Longhorns, we should recognize the importance of being inclusive of women and realize this deci-sion affects us all. As a member of the UT System and the Permanent University Fund, UT-Austin should not be associated with standing idly by as our partner universities promote an unethical, unreasonable and unfriendly mascot. Please join me in sending an email to the Board of Regents at [email protected] to express your displeasure.

This past Friday, the United Muslim Relief chapter at the University of Texas at Austin hosted its second annual “Let Palestine Shine” event, an apolitical charity dinner that provides direct relief to Palestinians in the form of sustenance, shelter, healthcare and education. This event was publi-cized to the general Austin community. In fact, the organization spent several days tabling and passed out several hundred flyers. Yet the partici-pants of the event were mainly Muslims despite the fact that the event wasn’t religiously charged.

This could be due to, in part, the stigmatization of the Palestinian cause as religiously charged. After years of propaganda and lobbying, people in America equate Zionism with Judaism and Ju-daism with Israel and Islam with Palestine. Thus, if you are anti-Zionism, you are anti-Semitic and even worse, anti-Israel. If you find such deduc-tions implausible, just consider history; in fact, not long ago, here in America during the Red Scare, being a communist meant you were anti-American and surely a Soviet spy.

To be concise, the Palestinian cause has been cast as anti-Semitic, anti-American, and, God for-bid, pro-Islam. However, this should not the case. Palestine is a humanitarian cause, and events such as “Let Palestine Shine” should be able to bring people of diverse faiths and backgrounds together.

For this humanitarian claim to make sense, it has to be made clear that the fight over Palestine is not a religious conflict. Religion does play a factor in the conflict, but in the same way that religion plays a role in your everyday life. Religion is a moral driving force for many Palestinian-Mus-lims, as I am sure it is for Palestinian-Christians. Similarly, as 20th century fascism was ostensibly based on Christian teachings and current Islamic Wahhabism, Zionism is an ideology that is rac-ist and oppressive. Thus, as quickly as we reject the association between fascism and Christianity and Islam and Wahhabism, we should reject Zi-onism equating to Judaism with the same fervor. The people of Palestine, which the United Nations recognizes as a state, are struggling for their basic

rights every day. The region’s religious affiliations is irrelevant to the fact that we face a tragedy in Palestine.

The Palestinian conflict is political in part. However, as Americans, we should not forget the human element. The oppression and injus-tice against Palestinians violates the human con-scious. There is a prevailing idea among Ameri-cans that the loss of Palestinians is a necessary evil and collateral damage that is executed by Israel for security reasons. This argument is dispelled by Israel’s disproportionate aggression, economic oppression, and invasive and illegal settlements, all of which independently go beyond sensible security measures.

Since Sept. 29, 2000, 132 Israeli children have been killed and 2,053 Palestinian children. In to-tal, 1,185 Israelis have been killed and 9,100 Pal-estinians. The suffering of the Palestinian people extends beyond the graveyard. Israel has 5,271 Palestinian political prisoners detained while Pal-estine has 0. Now if you are lucky to be alive and not in prison, you may still not have a home or a livelihood. Since 1967, 28,000 Palestinian homes have been destroyed, and the state has an unem-ployment rate of around 25 percent. Furthermore, what little hope they have remaining is dwindling as Israel continues to increase its number of its il-legal Jewish-only settlements. Currently, there are around 262 settlements. The discrepancy is stag-gering, but as noted, there has been losses on both sides. That is why it is important to frame this as a humanitarian issue so the oppressors cannot con-tinue to carry out their injustices under the guise of “security.”

You might be wondering, if the situation is re-ally that lopsided, then why haven’t I heard about this? Well, in small part, because of a discrepancy in media coverage. In fact, a report shows that the Associated Press overreported Israeli deaths by 30 percent. In contrast, 34 percent of Palestinian deaths went unreported. The fact is that this is not a conflict of religiosity. This is a humanitarian is-sue, and it deserves our full attention and support. So next time, join me in breaking bread as we unite together in solidarity against the injustices against Palestinians.

When playing popular board games like Monopoly, the game’s characters are usu-ally assumed to be heterosex-ual. Graduate business stu-dent Richard Bellamy thinks creating a popular board game with LGBT characters will create more inclusivity for people who do not fit into traditional archetypes.

Bellamy started a crowd-funding campaign for Adrena-line Global, a new character-driven card game in which each character has a backstory that is infused with LGBT themes. Bellamy, who started the campaign this week, is

trying to raise $40,000 in order to mass-produce the game.

“When the first LGBT char-acters were on television, that was a celebrated event,” Bel-lamy said. “That’s what I want with this game. It’s exciting to see us in mainstream pop cul-ture and mainstream media.”

Bellamy said he thought a board game would be a good way to achieve visibility be-cause of its appeal to all types of audiences.

“All ages enjoy board games,” Bellamy said. “It’s something that people can play amongst co-workers, and people can play in small towns where you might not have people who are openly gay in the community all of the time.”

Randy Scheunemann, retail liaison for Steve Jackson Games in Austin, said board games have survived the digital age and still unite people.

“In modern society, we do not take as much time to actu-ally sit, communicate and inter-act with our friends and fam-ily in socially intellectual ways,” Scheunemann said. “Board games are one of the few things still physically bringing people together in that classic style.”

If the campaign does not garner a huge response from donors, Bellamy said he will still try to get a few games made to place in schools or community centers. He said these types of public places are ideal for playing games.

“It’s something that everyone can play,” Bellamy said. “It’s not something that requires more of a continued investment.”

Samuel Mitschke, produc-tion manager for Steve Jack-son Games, said a successful game — like the one Bellamy hopes to create — has just one key element.

“There are great games that consist of nothing more than a few dice and some rules or just a few cards,” Mitschke said. “There are other great games that consist of cards, tokens, dice and a box full of figurines. What makes a great game boils down to one ques-tion: is it fun?”

Bellamy’s ultimate dream is that Adrenaline Global will

land on store shelves right next to popular family favorites.

“I want it to be right up on the shelf next to Monopoly,”

Bellamy said. “It should be something that a family can bring out one night and have a good time together playing it.”

LIFE&ARTS Monday, November 10, 2014 5

Gabriel Mascaro is an in-stallation artist, script writer and up-and-coming docu-mentary filmmaker. He may not be well known in the United States, but his films and installations are popular in Brazil because they pro-vide glimpses into the nature of life in the diverse country.

Mascaro’s films will be the first installment in the Latin American Filmmakers Series hosted by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the Brazil Center of LLI-LAS. On Monday, the center will show Mascaro’s “Ventos de Agosto” at the Marchesa Hall & Theatre, followed by a Tuesday screening of his documentary, “Doméstica,” at the Harry Ransom Cen-ter. Both screenings will end with a Q&A session.

The Austin Film Society will co-sponsor the screen-ing of “Ventos de Agosto,” which follows the story of a

young girl, her love interest, a hurricane and research of the sound of wind.

Mascaro is better known for his documentaries such as “Doméstica,” a film that cap-tures the real-life perspectives of seven teenagers who filmed their housemaids. Brazil Cen-ter coordinator Carla Silva-Muhammad said the film was acquired as a permanent col-lection for the Benson Latin American Collection.

“It’s a clash of the way they perceive the domestic work-ers in their house and then the life of the doméstica re-ally,” Silva-Muhammad said. “I think it is a perfect way of synchronizing both things.”

In addition to the film se-ries, LLILAS will host a num-ber of professors for its Faculty Book Talks. Sônia Roncador, associate professor in the De-partment of Spanish and Por-tuguese, will speak about her book, “Domestic Servants in Literature and Testimony in Brazil, 1889–1999,” for the se-ries. The themes of “Domésti-

ca” will tie into the discussion of her book.

“Gabriel Mascaro originally contacted Professor Sônia Roncador and sent her a link to his film because he knew of her book,” said Jason Borge, associate professor in the De-partment of Spanish and Por-tuguese. “Now, the culmina-tion of that relationship is that he is actually going to be at the book opening as a discussant.”

Roncador’s book focuses on how servitude was por-trayed in Brazilian literature and journalism as a privi-leged sign of social or racial otherness following the abol-ishment of slavery in 1888.

“Too much of the time, do-mestic service is ‘invisible’ and maids themselves disrespected, underpaid and even abused,” Roncador said. “I want readers to develop a greater apprecia-tion of the work they do.”

One of the main goals of the film series is to increase community outreach and ex-pose films that would other-wise remain unseen.

“First of all, I’d just like them to develop an appreciation for Brazilian filmmaking in the 21st century,” Borge said. “Also to exhibit the talent and vitality of a new voice in Brazilian and

Latin American film generally.”In accordance with the

series’ mission to showcase up-and-coming filmmak-ers, Mascaro was chosen to showcase his talent.

“Mascaro has been making film for a few years, but he’s not quite famous yet,” Borge said. “He’s really on the cusp of becoming a major film-maker in Brazil.”

Production of LGBT-themed game awaits crowdfunding

Texas women’s basketball played its first competitive minutes of the season in an exhibition match Sunday, defeating the reigning NAIA champion Oklahoma City University Stars, 102-56.

Texas shot 54 percent from the field and never faced a deficit in the game. Head coach Karen Aston said she liked what she saw from the team.

“This is a game that you look to see what kind of ef-fort you’ll bring and where are you at from condition-ing,” Aston said. “I thought everyone gave a good ef-fort. We’re in a good place, and we will take this and get better.”

Aston cited the defense as an area needing improve-ment. Texas struggled to remain disciplined on both sides of the court, finish-ing with 17 turnovers and 23 fouls.

“We weren’t on the same page,” Aston said. “I think

we’ll be fun to watch and be a really good defensive team once we get some things ironed out.”

Freshman guard Ariel At-kins debuted as a starter and led the team with 18 points and three steals. Despite be-ing nervous throughout the game, Atkins said she looks to improve in practice.

“Now that I know what it’s like out here, practice will be more realistic for me,” At-kins said. “In practice, you try to simulate game-like [situations], but you can’t because it’s not the game. But now, from the experi-ence, I kind of feel it now. I won’t get as nervous when the lights come on.”

Freshman guard Brooke McCarty led the team with 24 minutes of play and three 3-pointers. Junior

guard Empress Davenport tied for the team lead with five assists.

The Longhorns are still without junior cen-ter Imani McGee-Stafford and freshman forward Diani Akigbogun because of injuries. Sophomore center Kelsey Lang started the game at center and snatched 10 rebounds on her way to a double-double with 13 points.

“With Imani out, [senior forward] Nneka [Enemk-pali] obviously can rebound, but she can’t do it by herself, so I really focused on that in the offseason,” Lang said. “I just try to go pursue every ball I can.”

The Longhorns’ regular season tip-off will be against UTSA at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Frank Erwin Center.

The duo was especially effective during the sec-ond quarter, in which the Longhorns scored 17 un-answered points, high-lighted by two long runs from Gray.

The first went for 39 yards and a score, while the second run followed a 25-yard run by Brown, in which Gray hit

the hole for a 40-yard gain. Gray capped the drive from two yards out to give the Longhorns a 21-3 lead.

“[The] offensive line did a great job opening holes,” Gray said. “They knew what we had to do to get the job done to-night, and they did it.”

On the other side of the ball, senior defensive end Cedric Reed dominated the Mountaineers’ offensive line with three sacks. Reed’s

penchant for finding the quarterback was akin to his play last season, marking a bounce-back performance after recording only 1.5 sacks through the first nine games this year.

“Tonight, after I got that first sack, I went up to Coach [Chris] Rumph and told him, ‘Sacks come in bunches, so you better watch out,’” Reed said.

The Mountaineers ended up outgaining the Longhorns

by nearly 100 yards but were held to a season-low 16 points and did not get into the end zone until early in the fourth quarter.

Texas won the battles on third and fourth downs, al-lowing West Virginia to convert only 3-of-17 third-down attempts and 3-of-5 fourth-down attempts.

“We had to win on third down, and we were able to win on third and fourth

down,” Strong said.The win was a step toward

bowl eligibility for the Long-horns, who are now 5-5 on the season and need to win at least one of their final two contests. Despite defeating a top-25 opponent at home for the first time since 2008, some players were hesitant to call Saturday a signature win.

“I wouldn’t say that,” Reed said. “It’s just another win — another Big 12 win.”

It was as if senior defensive end Cedric Reed bottled up all his frustrations from the first 10 weeks of the season and let them out against West Virginia on Saturday.

Reed opened the season as a preseason All-Ameri-can and many believed he would be a top pick in this year’s NFL Draft. However, as the season wore on and he failed to make much of an impact in any of Texas’ first nine games, Reed’s draft stock plummeted, along with hopes of him winning All-American status or any of the awards for which he was initially watch-listed.

But Saturday, he reminded everyone just what he is ca-pable of. The 6-foot-5-inch, 272-pound lineman was an absolute menace all afternoon and got in the West Virginia backfield on several occasions.

“It feels great,” Reed said. “I knew it was coming, and my teammates and coaches knew it was coming.“

Reed finished the afternoon with 12 tackles, three sacks, a safety and a forced fumble.

Can you Diggs it?While Reed has seen his

draft stock plummet for the majority of this season, se-nior defensive back Quandre Diggs’ pro potential seems to increase each week, and the game against West Virginia was no exception.

Diggs spent most of his af-ternoon covering senior Kevin

White, the Mountaineers’ best receiver and one of the top pass catchers in the en-tire country. White racked up plenty of yardage, but Diggs kept him out of the end zone and made a few huge plays in the process.

The most notable was an in-terception in the fourth quarter that helped Texas seal its vic-tory. After getting beat on a similar play earlier in the game, Diggs jumped an out pattern and picked off West Virginia senior Clint Trickett, ending

the Mountaineer drive and giv-ing the Longhorn offense great field position.

“I knew I was going to get another opportunity, and, in my head, you’re going to beat me one time, but the next time I’m going to go make a play,” Diggs said. “That’s just what I did, and it comes from great film review [and] great study.”

Big day for GrayFrom the moment he ar-

rived in Austin, head coach Charlie Strong preached his

affinity for run-heavy offenses. He was confident that his run-ning backs — senior Malcolm Brown and junior Johnathan Gray — were the ideal tandem to lead the Longhorn offense.

But for the first eight games, a depleted offensive line and some less-than-convincing running back play forced Strong’s team to throw the ball more than he would have liked.

Over the last two weeks, however, Strong has gone back to the run and it has paid off.

As his young, patchwork

offensive line continues to gain experience and devel-op chemistry, the running backs have exploded onto the scene, and Gray’s turn was Saturday.

The junior scatback totaled 101 yards and three touch-downs on just 10 carries against the Mountaineers. The most impressive of those 10 touches came early in the second quar-ter, as Gray juked a West Vir-ginia defender and stretched for the pylon on a 39-yard touchdown run.

After Texas volleyball dropped the first set against Kansas State on Friday night, there was concern the Longhorns would repeat their abysmal performance shown against Oklahoma.

The Longhorns were out-played in almost every area during the set, as the Wildcats silenced the near-capacity crowd at Gregory Gym.

“Give credit to Kansas State — they played extremely well,” head coach Jerritt El-liott said. “They only made one mistake and put a lot of pressure on us, and we didn’t deal well with it emotionally.”

But, the Texas team that came out for the second set took over the match, posting a .393 hitting percentage to win the set, 25-15, and never looked back en route to a 3-1 victory.

“This was an emotional match for us and a big match for us,” Elliott said. “I like the way we finished tonight.”

After a dominating per-formance at Texas Tech on Wednesday night, the Longhorns came out flat in the first set and found themselves in a 10-5 deficit. Texas eventually closed the gap to 16-14 before Kansas State went on a 3-0 run to push the lead back to five. The Wildcats closed out the set 25-16 behind a .419 hitting percentage.

During the break between the first and second sets, Elliott said he challenged the team.

“The only thing I said was that, ‘At some point, you guys are going to have to figure this out,’” Elliott said. “‘We can keep talking to you about this, but you are going to have to make that team dynamic and have the resiliency to be able to bounce back.’”

The Longhorns did just that, coming out in the second set and tak-ing the momentum with a quick 4-0 lead. Texas kept the margin near four and seized full control of the match with a 5-1 run to take a 17-9 lead and even-tually even up the match at one set apiece.

Coming out of the inter-mission break, the Longhorns again took an early lead, but the Wildcats fought to keep it close. In the first half of the set, Texas’ largest lead was four points, before Kansas State made a run to close the gap to 15-13. However, a 6-1 run from the Longhorns gave them a 21-14 lead that they wouldn’t give up.

The fourth set featured more success, as Texas jumped out to a 10-5 lead and closed out the final set, 25-16.

Junior outside hitter Amy Neal finished the night lead-ing the Longhorns with 14 kills, 12 digs and a service ace. After dealing with a day-to-day injury, Neal said she’s been working with the coach-es on managing her game.

“Since I’m an undersized hitter, it’s just not being timid because I need to go out there [and] be aggressive with ev-ery swing,” Neal said. “Using the block helps me out.”

Softball grabs 8-2 win to remain undefeated

Texas softball traveled to San Marcos and beat Texas State 8-2 on Friday night in its first away match of the fall season. The win keeps the Longhorns undefeated.

Sophomore infielder Devon Tunning had an ex-cellent game, going 4-for-4 with two singles, a double and a home run. Senior outfielder Marlee Gab-aldon and junior catcher Erin Shireman each tal-lied a home run. Gabaldon slapped a two-run home run, while Shireman hit a solo home run.

With its eight runs against Texas State, Texas has now outscored the op-position 51-7 this fall.

The Longhorn pitchers have also been exceptional so far this season. Freshman pitcher Erica Wright struck out five batters over two in-nings of work. In the five fall scrimmages, Wright has pitched 11 innings and has struck out 23 batters.

Texas will finish off its fall campaign against the Sun City, Texas, Veterans at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

WEEKEND RECAPS

West Virginia tops soc-cer on penalty kicks

Texas women’s soccer entered the semifinal round of the Big 12 Championship against No. 9 West Virginia on the heels of a penalty shootout win over No. 16 Texas Tech in the quarter-finals. Although Texas drew West Virginia 0-0, it lost the penalty kick shootout, 6-5.

The top-seeded Moun-taineers entered the game with one of the best offenses in the nation, and it took brilliant play by Longhorn junior goalkeeper Abby Smith to keep them at bay. Before falling in the penalty kick rounds, Smith saved eight of 24 shots to keep the game scoreless through 90 minutes of regulation and two 10-minute overtime periods.

Now, the Longhorns wait for Monday when they hear whether they qualified for the NCAA Tournament.

“We played overtime matches against the No. 16- and No. 9-ranked teams ... and fought each of them to the bitter end,” head coach Angela Kelly said. “This team has obviously shown it can compete with the best teams in the nation.”

—Daniel Clay

I thought everyone gave a good effort. We’re in a good place, and we will take this and get better.

MUSIC

This was the year every-thing conspired against Fun Fun Fun Fest. Death Grips, Death Cab for Cutie and Guided by Voices all can-celed; construction forced the festival to take place in a more condensed area of Auditorium Shores; and computer problems Fri-day resulted in a wristband check-in line that stretched for blocks and caused a three-hour backup. This was far from the smooth start that Fun Fun Fun Fest prob-ably wanted.

Those problems, how-ever, wound up being negli-gible once the festival finally kicked off. Fun Fun Fun Fest is still one of the better fes-tivals in Austin; a combina-tion of cool weather and even cooler bands adds up to something that rivals Austin City Limits Music Festival and South By Southwest.

Usual stadium headliners, such as heavy metal legend Judas Priest and the post-Ra-diohead experimental rock of alt-J, playing in a much smaller setting Friday was a notable part of what makes Fun Fun Fun Fest a different type of festival experience. Thousands upon thousands of people cheered for indie rock stand-up Modest Mouse when they played the closing set Saturday night until they returned for a final, rare en-core of “The Good Times Are Killing Me.”

Julie Budet, member of French electronic duo Yelle, pumped up crowds Friday at the Blue stage with typical

Euro-pop flair. On the same stage Saturday night, hip-hop legend Nas needed nothing but a mic and a DJ to remind crowds that he is one of the best to play the game. Fred Armisen, “Portlandia” star and beloved “Saturday Night Live” comedian, took to the Yellow stage Saturday, as well.

Of course, Fun Fun Fun Fest does not belong to the headliners. It belongs to the smaller bands, who fi-nally receive recognition at a proper festival. SZA per-formed an airy and artistic form of R&B on Friday that was one of the most beauti-ful and groovy sets of the weekend. Canadian electro-pop group Majical Cloudz dove into the crowd three songs into its set and would perform there for the rest of their show. Audience mem-bers crowded around front man Devon Welsh and sang along to some of the most

heartfelt lines of the festival. METZ assaulted eardrums

with blast after blast of noise rock, resulting in a mosh pit that didn’t let up for a mo-ment. They were topped only by the front man of shoegaze black metal band Deafheav-en, who needed to only raise his hands to illicit roaring screams from the crowd.

The taco cannon, a festi-val staple, made an appear-ance Sunday night for fans

awaiting headliners such as Yo La Tengo and cult follow-ers of Neutral Milk Hotel. The power of these moments was matched by the music, which managed to unite crowds in an atmosphere of appre-ciation. While Fun Fun Fun Fest will continue to grow in both scope and attendance as the Austin population rises, dedicated fans hope that the festival maintains its current attitude.
