The Student Government Assembly will vote Tuesday on legislation supporting the removal of the Jefferson Davis statue on campus. The Student Affairs Committee passed the amended resolution, which will now head to the full Assembly for a vote, Sunday night.

SG President-elect Xavier Rotnofsky and Vice President-elect Rohit Mandalapu co-authored the resolution with Plan II senior Ciaran Dean-Jones and Chris Gilman, Texas Travesty editor-in-chief and radio-television-film senior. The statue’s removal was one of Rotnofsky and Mandalapu’s campaign platform points, and the two presented the resolu-tion to the Assembly before they were elected.

“Students approached us after they saw the platform point,” said Rotnofsky, lin-guistics and Plan II junior. “As president and vice presi-dent-elect, we fully intend on getting this done.”

In the resolution, the au-thors said the statue’s pres-ence on campus is not con-sistent with the values of the University. Davis was the president of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. The statue’s pres-ence has been debated in the past, but no action has been taken to remove the statue.

Attendees of the committee meeting inquired as to wheth-er Rotnofsky and Mandalapu would push for the removal of other Confederate images

Over spring break, the Texas Senate gave final ap-proval to SB 11, a campus carry bill for public univer-sities. In response, mem-bers of the UT Student Government said they will intensify lobbying efforts to make sure a comparable bill is not passed in the

Texas House.Campus carry, in its

current state, would allow licensed concealed hand-gun carriers who are 21 or older to bring their hand-guns on college campuses, including in most build-ings. For it to become law, the bill must pass in the House and obtain Gov. Greg Abbott’s signature.

Sports games, residence

halls, hospitals, preschools and grade schools would be exempt from campus carry laws.

Sens. Judith Zaffirni (D-Laredo), Royce West (D-Dallas) and José Ro-dríguez (D-El Paso) pro-posed that the bill clarify the list of areas on cam-pus where guns could be banned and said it is not clear whether universities

could ban guns from bars, houses of worship, labo-ratories and medical clin-ics. Their amendments did not pass.

SG President-elect Xavi-er Rotnofsky, who has not yet been sworn into office, said he was not surprised to see the bill pass in the Senate and said SG will continue to oppose the bill and lobby to prevent its

passage in the House. “I guess a lot of propo-

nents say that it’s our God-given right to self-defense, but, I think also by that same argument, we also need to defend ourselves against such legislation because it could potentially be more harmful than good,” Rotnof-sky said.

With four players scor-ing double digits and the Longhorns shooting near-ly 48 percent all game, No. 5-seeded Texas hung on in the final minutes to defeat No. 4 seed Califor-nia, 73–70, on Sunday.

Texas stuck with its expe-rienced lineup in its second-round game in the NCAA Tournament in Berkeley, California.

Similar to its first round matchup against Western Kentucky, Texas struggled with turnovers early. The Longhorns’ 11 first-half turn-overs kept the game close throughout the first half.

Tied at 27 at the break, Texas came out of halftime on a 6–0 run. It led by as many as 12 points in the second half, but California began to cut into its deficit, scoring key field goals and making seven 3-pointers.

“[When we have trouble], we talk about attacking the basket, not standing around

the 3-point line and not turn-ing the ball over,” junior guard Empress Davenport said. “That is just a conversation we have between the guards.”

The team eventually started to limit its turnovers, only giving up the ball three times in the final 20 min-

utes. The Longhorns shot 50 percent in the final stanza and made 10-of-12 free- throw attempts to capture the victory.

Freshman guard Brooke McCarty played only 17 minutes but hit crucial late free throws, just as she did

in the first-round game, to seal the win for Tex-as. Outside of her strong performance from the char-ity stripe, McCarty shot 5-of-7 from the field and combined for 16 points with

Ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft operated out of the Austin-Bergstrom Inter-national Airport (ABIA) un-der temporary permits during this year’s South By Southwest, although ABIA had originally said only Lyft would be al-lowed to operate.

The two companies signed an agreement with ABIA on March 13, allowing them to pick up and drop off passen-gers there for 45 days.

While Lyft signed a year-long agreement ABIA offered to the two companies on March 6, Uber did not. The agreement on March 13, just a week later, nullified Lyft’s yearlong arrangement.

“The airport granted Uber a temporary permit, so we could have more time to ne-gotiate a permanent solution,” Uber spokeswoman Debbee Hancock said.

The terms of the agreements

required the companies to give the airport 10 percent of their gross revenue, a common stan-dard for concessions operating at the airport, ABIA spokes-man Jason Zielinski said.

“We’re a City department, but we’re one of the few that doesn’t receive tax dollars,” Zielinski said. “Every business that operates at the airport provides a portion of their gross earnings to the airport.”

According to Zielinski, after Uber did not sign the yearlong agreement by the March 6 deadline, the company’s driv-ers faced consequences for op-erating at the airport without a formal permit.

“Lyft began operating un-der that agreement and Uber was not,” Zielinski said. “So on March 9, their drivers began receiving warnings. On the 10th, they started re-ceiving citations. Under City code, operating without a permit is up to a $500 fine —

SG members plan to in-crease lobbying and join forces with other student groups, such as UT Stu-dents Against Guns on Campus, in efforts to pre-vent campus carry from passing in the House.

“We’re going to do what we can to either testify or lobby to stop it,” Rotnofsky said. “It’s still something that can get shut down.”

Current SG President Kori Rady said SG members have spoken in opposition

of the bill at public hear-ings and with legislators. Additionally, SG passed a resolution formally oppos-ing campus carry.

SG Vice President-elect Rohit Mandalapu attended a public hearing Tuesday to speak against the House equivalent of SB 11. He said UT students have an up-hill battle in preventing the bill’s passage.

“Especially for a lot of the representatives, I feel that they have their minds made

up already,” Mandalapu said. “So it’s really [about which way] the swings are going to go. I do think it’s very much possible to get campus carry overturned in the House. Like I said, it will be very hard, I think. … We have to get a lot of sup-port behind it.”

Rotnofsky and Mandalapu said there is not yet a plan for what SG will do if the cam-pus carry measure does be-come law.

“We’d have to develop

some sort of strategy with the president and [Univer-sity of Texas Police Depart-ment] and all the groups involved,” Rotnofsky said. “For the most part, no,

we haven’t sat down and thought about that — but if we see that these bills have a likelihood of passing, yeah, we’re going to come up with some stuff.”

a class C misdemeanor.”After Uber was banned

from the airport, many peo-ple were unable to use the transportation options they had expected to use, Zielin-ski said.

“We experienced a large number of warnings and ci-tations, and that was leaving passengers without a ride,” Zielinski said.

Airports around the country are struggling with how to regulate ride-hailing companies such as Uber and Lyft, Zielinski said. While taxicabs have been part of airport transportation for years, ride-hailing compa-nies are a different animal.

“Cabs work on $1 per trip fee,” Zielinski said. “Cabs have different regulations within the city. … Every air-port is struggling with [ride-hailing companies] because they’re unlike other trans-portation operators.”

ABIA’s proposal would have also required ride-hail-ing companies to follow all the same rules as taxicabs.

Zielinski said Uber’s fi-nancial records would not have been made public with this proposal.

“The information we re-ceive is private — it’s some-thing we look at and don’t publish,” Zielinski said. “If we were to look at anyone’s books, it wouldn’t be public information [because] we would not publish.”

Lyft spokeswoman Mary Caroline Pruitt said Lyft was happy to be the official ride-hailing partner of SXSW.

“Austin is a city that em-braces creative, innovative industries, and we were excited to be the first ride-sharing partner authorized at Austin-Bergstrom Inter-national Airport,” Pruitt said. “We’d like to thank the ABIA staff for their leader-ship and commitment to preserving Lyft’s affordable, welcoming rides for Austin visitors and residents.”

Two finalists are left in the search for President William Powers Jr.’s replacement after New York University admin-istrators announced that Ox-ford University Vice Chancel-lor Andrew Hamilton would be their next president.

Hamilton, whom many considered to be the front-runner for the UT presiden-cy, will succeed NYU presi-dent John Sexton in January 2016, NYU administrators announced last week. The UT System Board of Regents interviewed Hamilton ear-lier this month, as did a small search committee.

At this point, Greg Fenves, executive vice president and provost of the University, and UT-Dallas President David Daniel are the remaining fi-nalists in the search for the next UT president, according to sources directly involved with the search committee.

Fenves, who has held his provost position since Octo-ber 2013, served five years as dean of the Cockrell School of Engineering. As the Univer-sity’s chief academic officer, Fenves is closely connected to Powers, whose relationship with the Board of Regents has been tumultuous at times.

Daniel, who earned his bachelor’s, master’s and doc-

torate in engineering from UT, became UT-Dallas’ president in 2005. During his tenure there, UT-Dallas’ enrollment has grown from 13,000 to 23,000 students, and the uni-versity has raised more than $360 million in private funds.

Before joining Oxford in 2009, Hamilton worked as a chemistry assistant professor at Princeton University and then as chemistry professor and de-partment chair at the Universi-ty of Pittsburgh. He also served as provost of Yale University from 2004 until 2008.

Hamilton said he has been a

“keen observer” of NYU over the years and was honored to have been considered in the NYU presidential search.

“I am delighted to be select-ed as NYU’s 16th president,” Hamilton said in a statement. “I am looking forward with great eagerness to working with NYU’s faculty, students, administrators, and staff, and to joining a university that is so manifestly energetic, inno-vative, and successful.”

Hamilton is the second to drop from the System’s hand-ful of prospective candidates. The list had previously in-

cluded Joseph Steinmetz, the executive vice president and provost at The Ohio State University, but he withdrew his candidacy in February.

Following the Board of Re-gents’ interviews with Dan-iel, Fenves and Hamilton, UT System Chancellor Wil-liam McRaven recommend-ed the board defer naming a finalist or list of finalists until later this month. The Board must vote to name one or more finalists and then wait 21 days before making an official appointment.

Although the student pop-ulation on campus dwindled this week, officers from the UTPD responded to many incidents involving non-UT subjects on and near campus.

During spring break, UTPD officers found mul-tiple people trespassing on University property and found many people in pos-session of marijuana and other illegal substances. Here are some of the highlights and trends that occurred during spring break:

March 13 — Officers re-sponded to a call from Caroth-ers Hall, where they found a student lying in the hallway outside her room. The student, who was not of drinking age, was severely intoxicated and had two open bottles of alco-hol. Officers made no arrest but issued a citation for consump-tion of alcohol by a minor.

March 14 — A bus driver requested an officer’s assis-tance for criminal activity on the bus. The officer found two non-UT subjects on the bus snorting cocaine. Each subject had two valid driver’s licenses in their possession. Un-der Texas state law, individuals are only allowed to have one valid driver’s license in their

possession at any given time. March 18 — After stopping

a car driving the wrong way on San Jacinto Boulevard, an officer found three non-UT subjects in possession of ci-gars full of marijuana.

March 18 — An officer stopped a non-UT student after he noticed the man roll-ing a green substance into a cigarette. The man told the of-ficer he had obtained the ma-terial to create a “nice aroma” around himself. After looking at the substance, the officer confiscated the bag to test if it was synthetic marijuana, oth-erwise known as K2.

March 19 — Officers pa-trolling the Drag found two non-UT subjects with a glass pipe sitting inside a truck. The passengers admitted they had burned methamphetamines. In addition to the metham-phetamines, officers found acetaminophen and hydro-codone pills inside a brown bag in the vehicle.

Officers also responded to reports of theft that in-cluded bicycles, freshly dried clothes from laundry fa-cilities on campus and other small items. Additionally, one UT student reported un-authorized charges made to her credit card that totaled around $535.

Alamo Drafthouse will open a new location in the Mueller community in East Austin. Austin’s sixth Alamo Drafthouse will be located on Aldrich Street, the communi-ty development’s town center.

“Ever since Mueller was first announced many years ago, we have loved the idea of opening up a theater there,” Alamo founder and CEO Tim League said in a press release earlier this month. “Mueller is a groundbreaking develop-ment and a really cool neigh-borhood. We are excited to be working with Catellus here and honored to be a part of it.”

The new Drafthouse will have six screens and 600 seats with a bar adjacent to the theater. Radio-television-film junior Jake Palmer said he thinks another Drafthouse will be great for students liv-ing off campus.

“I live on 46th and Airport, so I’d benefit greatly from this one,” Palmer said. “I know most students that live off cam-pus live in West Campus, but the cool kids who live in North Campus will love it. A lot of the ones that students go to are pretty far away from campus — going all the way west to An-derson Lane. It’s a bit of a hike, and I think the bus service to Mueller is a lot better.”

The Mueller community, a development that replaced the Robert Mueller Munici-pal Airport when it closed in 1999, is a project of the city mixing affordable housing, regular market price hous-ing and other businesses, said Pam Hefner, the redevelop-ment project manager with the City of Austin’s Economic Development department.

“We have the children’s hos-pital, the Thinkery, [and] tons of retail,” Hefner said. “So far there’s 100,000 square feet of in-stitutional uses. We have a Dell Pediatric Institute [and] Seton Medical Center [as well].”

The development is 700 acres and about 40 percent complete, Hefner said. The City is in a private partnership with Catellus, a development corporation, to oversee the

implementation of the Muel-ler Council’s design book.

“Their job is to do the de-velopment part, and we have a master development agree-ment with them,” Hefner said. “They build a huge amount of infrastructure, they had to do all the planning, sign third parties to build buildings on it.

We had a master plan for the whole site, and they find the third parties. They found the Thinkery, they helped get Se-ton and they find home build-ers to build housing.”

Catellus has been in communication with Ala-mo Drafthouse for years to help orchestrate the deal,

Hefner said. “Alamo Drafthouse is an

incredibly popular Austin in-stitution, and we’re thrilled they have chosen to expand to Mueller,” said Deanne Desjardin, vice president of Mueller Marketing and Com-munications. “Alamo will help establish Mueller’s town

center district, Aldrich Street, as entertainment destination, attracting retailers, restaurant s and other businesses as well as many Austinites to the district and to the entire community.”

Alamo Drafthouse Muel-ler is slated to open in 2016. Construction will start either this year or early next year.

ate images on campus, such as the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee also on the South Mall. Mandalapu, economics and Plan II senior, said the removal of the Davis statue is their current priority, but taking action on the other images is something he and Rotnofsky will consider.

“It’s a premier statue of the University facing the South Mall,” Mandalapu said. “What we aim to do with this legisla-tion is put this forward first.”

Rotnofsky said one op-tion the University might consider is moving the stat-ue to a museum instead of destroying it.

The committee also amended the original draft of the resolution, removing the title “Bump the Chump” and removing a clause stat-ing that the Nickelodeon show “Drake and Josh” would not support having the statue on campus.

The legislation addition-

ally noted a precedent from 2010, when, at the request of UT President William Pow-ers Jr., the UT System Board of Regents unanimously voted to rename Simkins Residence Hall to Creekside Residence Hall. The hall was originally named for William Simkins, a UT law professor and Confederate soldier who was also a Florida Ku Klux Klan leader.

The statue’s presence re-ceived much attention follow-

ing Rotnofsky and Mandala-pu’s release of their platform points. In early March, the statue was temporarily defaced with the word “CHUMP” written on the statue’s base in blue chalk.

Amber Magee, public health sophomore and chair of the Di-versity and Inclusion Agency, said the statue is a problem but is often overlooked.

“This is a recurring issue, and this [resolution] is a really awesome first step,” Magee said.

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series of Q-and-A’s with UT’s deans. Andrew Dillon has served as dean of the School of Information, formerly the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, since 2002. This interview has been con-densed and edited for clarity.

DT: The majority of people probably are not familiar with what this School of Information actually does. In your own words, can you explain what the school does and what it is centered around?

Dillon: We are centered around under-standing the role of information in all hu-man endeavors, but we are particularly concerned with examining that from a hu-man and social aspect…We are very con-cerned with what’s being created in terms of a world infrastructure built around practices, orientation, behaviors, habits, people in effect and what they’re doing to the world in creating this new infrastruc-ture.

The Daily Texan: What are the most ex-citing things going on at the iSchool right now?

Andrew Dillon: I would say generally it’s the faculty. We’ve assembled a very di-

verse intellectual group. There’s 22 faculty. You’ve got 13 different Ph.D.s. We’ve got people from anthropology, psychology, computer science, engineering, library information sciences, the humanities, philosophy. So you put all these people together and it’s a very unusual mix of tal-ent…

DT: You were formerly dean of what was then called the Graduate School of Library and Information Science. Since then, obvi-ously, the school has undergone a number of transformations in terms of its focus. How have you managed that transition?

Dillon: Gently, I’d like to think. It’s part of a broader, now international sweep that you saw happen in the late ‘90s and early part of the century. Professional schools, particularly in the librarianship and in-formation science area, traditionally un-derstood and recognized that the world was changing rapidly… Schools started to recognize that there was a potential for thinking about information differently, so Michigan, ourselves and Washington all changed our names to School of Infor-mation and we have traditionally [been called] graduate schools of library infor-mation sciences… It’s grown now to more than 50 of us around the world under the Information School banner.

DT: What sort of careers do graduates go into?

Dillon: Historically, it would have been librarianship, archives, museum educa-tion. That percentage has dropped con-siderably. Looking at our current employ-ment information, less than 50 percent is in the more traditional, what we call the collection agencies. That employment sector is still there but it’s a smaller space for our students now. Industry, the com-mercial sector, the research organiza-tions, the other 50 percent… we have this

incredibly long tail. Lots of people have these odd job titles that are unique to them… these sorts of titles were created by the organization that’s hired them in. In essence, what most of those people are doing is serving as some sort of in-formation broker and organizer within a company.

DT: What benefits come from being the smallest school on campus? And then also, what challenges arise?

Dillon: There are some advantages to small, which are very tangible. We have faculty meetings once a month… I have tea with the students every semester. I know all of the students… In that sense, the camaraderie and the sense of commu-nity is great. There is an informality that comes with the size that is tremendously advantageous…When you ask for the other side of it… by being small, we feel that we are not as well known… student recognition of us as an entity on campus is a lot lower because there are fewer of us going around. Budgetarily, especially as a specialized graduate program, we don’t have a role to play in the predominantly undergraduate-driven agenda.

DT: How do you keep students from feeling isolated from the rest of the Uni-versity?

Dillon: If you come to the iSchool, you are physically present with people regu-larly in a confined space. If we were dis-tributed around campus, I’m not sure we would have the same sense of identity in that way…We bring a lot of professionals in, we have a lot of open forums. There’s a commitment generally to creating that sense of partnership and community.

DT: Can you explain the importance of the capstone project here?

Dillon: Aye! That’s part of our master’s program requirements. The goal of the capstone is to say to employers and to al-low students to say to employers, “Look, I’ve got a workable, real-world example of what I can do.” The idea of the capstone is to culminate the coursework you’ve done to date in a project… It becomes a very tangible, demonstrable quality to their education.

DT: Is there anything else you would like students to know about the iSchool?

Dillon: Know that if you have a skill set in the humanities or liberal arts and you feel overwhelmed by technology but are interested in it at the same time, this is absolutely the program for you. We take people with almost zero computational skill and turn them into information pro-fessionals. If you are willing to work, we can do it.

As of 2014 our school's freshman class

reported a racial breakdown of 45 percent white and 23 percent Asian, with American Indian and Pacific Islander making up the smallest percentages.

Just above that, though, lies the meager black population of approximately 4 per-cent. Historically, the University denied ad-mission to colored people, yet the door has stood open to undergraduates since 1956.

Fifty years after the Bloody Sunday events and famous civil rights march in Selma, re-flection on the current state of black Ameri-ca is necessary to facilitate progress.

In the post-civil rights movement age of integration and newfound opportunity, the percentage of black students at UT increased drastically, but it has since peaked and be-gun to decline.

The disproportionately low number of black students on campus in comparison to the black population of Texas is alarm-ing and should be examined to further the diversity our school already boasts and to advance the socioeconomic status of black Americans.

Sources of Fear Although it it cannot be measured defini-

tively, many students say the primary source of fear for students of color comes from dis-turbing incidents in social settings, most notably and recently the culturally insensi-tive Fiji party, which was followed by over-whelming backlash from various students and organizations.

Unfortunately, events and attitudes like these aren’t isolated — cultural stereotypes are donned quite often at parties. While there lies an issue in itself, the way the Uni-

versity handles happenings like reports of bleach bombs, racist parties and discrimina-tion gives the entire school a negative repu-tation. No one wants to go somewhere they don’t feel welcome.

Aerospace engineering freshman Cam-eron Rose understands the harmful effects that a few students’ actions can have on the demographics of the school.

“Before I came to UT, I read [the reports of] bleach balloons being thrown at stu-dents,” Rose said. “If people are reading about that as they’re applying, it causes a seed of doubt in minority students.”

Like the bleach bombing incident Rose refers to, the University responded to the more recent Fiji event with nothing but a statement. This lack of action could make minority students feel excluded from the University.

Black government senior and Society for Cultural Unity member Bryan Davis has felt this exclusion before.

"Unfortunately, people are tired and would rather go somewhere where being treated with dignity and respect is the norm (non-predominantly white institutes)," Da-vis said.

A secondary source of fear for students of color is a more systematic issue. UT students are accepted through the top 7 percent rule, while a smaller percentage go through the holistic review process.

For a variety of reasons, the achievement gap specifically between black students and their white counterparts has left black stu-dents who go to predominantly white high schools outside the top 7 percent, and they may be persuaded by societal and cultural expectations to find a career in a field with-out delayed income — often in jobs not requiring a degree. Continuing the cycle, minority students who make up large pro-portions of lower-income areas receive sub-par high school teaching, also lacking guid-ance and resources to advance to rigorous schools like UT.

Tuition Finally, a continuing barrier for prospec-

tive black UT students and middle- to lower-class ones alike continues to be funding and fear of debt. The rising cost of tuition paired with a high cost of living in Austin and fear of debt pushes many to go to less expensive schools for a higher education, if they decide to pursue it at all. The cost of living in close proximity to campus pushes many to live in cheaper, less convenient locations, like River-side, limiting the full experience and advan-

tages a higher education has to offer.

Solutions In addition to fighting increased tuition,

we should seek out prospective students in disadvantaged areas. Leonard Moore, the University's associate vice president for aca-demic diversity, pioneered a recruiting pro-gram beginning this past year to target disad-vantaged and low-income students, bringing together outreach centers, recent graduates, the Admissions Office and the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement.

"We have outreach and recruitment efforts underway to address both of those issues," Gregory Vincent, vice president of diver-sity and community engagement, said in an email. "And even though UT Austin repre-sents an excellent educational value for the money, economic factors are often the reason students decide not to attend UT Austin."

Rose believes strongly that in addition to the administration's new efforts, current black students should actively recruit high

schoolers of color from their own individual cities, acting as ambassadors for the Univer-sity. Black professionals and students have a responsibility to their communities. Every-one who comes out of a marginalized group or low socioeconomic status ought to serve as a beacon of hope for those like them.

Moving Forward

If the black community as a whole can benefit from social mobility and the Ameri-can Dream, fear of discrimination or endless debt must not be an obstacle. The best thing we as students and as an institution can do to foster an environment where everyone feels they have a chance to be accepted and thrive is to be proactive about the image we portray and welcoming in the message we send out.

By establishing a base of student recruiters and continuing to foster a protective and in-clusive environment, the school will inevita-bly increase its black enrollment.

We’ve got people from an-thropology, psychology, com-puter science, engineering, library information sciences, the humanities, philosophy. So put all these people to-gether and it’s a very unusual mix of talent.

In the post-civil rights move-ment age of integration and newfound opportunity, the percentage of black students at UT increased drastically, but it has since peaked and begun to decline.

Hava Kane, Plan II and psychology sophomore, loves hearing stories. When she came to college, she spent hours having late-night con-versations with new friends and quickly got addicted to lis-tening to storytelling podcasts such as “This American Life.” Kane wanted more — at a uni-versity with so many students, she knew there were thou-sands of stories waiting to be told. With this idea in mind, Kane formed the student organization UTter earlier this year.

“I think we crave stories as people,” Kane said. “I’ve no-ticed a trend in social media like with Snap Stories. Why do we all care about what people on the UT campus are doing? I feel like we are naturally driven toward learning about people.”

UTter hosts a live show each month in which five students recall a personal ex-perience in keeping with the night’s theme.

Before each show, UTter accepts volunteers who want to share a story. The directors meet with the speakers to help them shape their stories be-fore the performance. After each story, speakers provide further commentary on what they learned from the experi-ences they described. Speak-ers talk for about 15 minutes, but the directors say there is not a strict time limit. For next month’s theme, “TBH,” or To Be Honest, students will rehearse and share stories about honesty.

The organization hosted its first showcase on campus March 12 with the theme “Firsts.” After rehearsing their stories, five students took turns stepping in front of the microphone in a dimly lit au-ditorium to talk about various first experiences. The stories ranged from one student’s first crush to another student’s first time dealing with failure and depression.

Devon Rooks, psychol-ogy junior and one of UTter’s directors, said the goal is to

establish an intimate at-mosphere for every show they host.

“The goal is to make it as liv-ing-room-feeling as possible,” Rooks said. “The emotional connection to some stories are a little deeper than others. We didn’t want people to be crying the whole time, and we didn’t want it all to be lighthearted.”

French sophomore Calvin Clites spoke during the show-case about being the first per-son in his family to attend col-lege. Clites said UTter allows people to talk about difficult subjects they would not be able to discuss otherwise.

“It can be a way to open up a dialogue that wouldn’t normally happen on campus,” Clites said. “A lot of these sto-ries are being told in front of an audience for the first time. A lot of people aren’t ready to tell their friends what it’s like going through depression, but doing it in this format allows people to talk about it.”

As the organization grows, Kane said she would like to work with other

groups on campus. If one organization raises aware-ness about suicide or sexual abuse during a given month, UTter could have a show-case with a related theme, Kane said.

“We can really make a dif-ference in people’s lives by getting people to tell their stories,” Kane said.

Kane said she believes sto-rytelling benefits both the storyteller and audience by

introducing people to new perspectives — about them-selves and about each other.

“As the speaker, your perspective changes each time you tell your story, and I think you learn a lot about yourself,” Kane said. “What the audience gets out of the story is per-spective. You learn some-thing new. You gain insight into that person, and you find that you can relate to

that person.”For the first showcase,

Rooks helped produce the show and also told a sto-ry. He said he found tell-ing his story aloud to be a therapeutic experience.

“That’s what therapy is — you just sit there and tell your story,” Rooks said. “I think if we can get people to be as honest as they would be in therapy, this will be something that lasts.”

Kendrick Lamar delivers powerful, jazzy beats

By Marisa Charpentier@marisacharp21

Students share themed stories each month

ALBUM REVIEW | TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY

Waiting another week for Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly would have been tor-ture. Whether Interscope Re-cords accidentally released the album early on iTunes, or the album was somehow leaked and Top Dawg Entertainment responded by releasing it prop-erly, the most anticipated re-cord of 2015 is in our hands.

Over the course of the al-bum, Lamar insists it is horrible to characterize innocent black men as hustlers rather than hu-man beings. That theme — the unjustified persecution of black

men — is carried throughout the entire album. “King Kunta” is the first heavy-handed track to feature an angry Lamar. The funk-infused beats and pro-duction fit perfectly with the style of the entire album. This song sounds nothing like La-mar’s previous work, such as good kid, m.A.A.d city. “King Kunta” is all about feeling “in the moment,” and, in this mo-ment, he’s pissed.

In the context of this new album, the previously released “The Blacker the Berry” man-ages to be uplifting yet menac-ing. Back in February, the track sounded groundbreaking. Surrounded by other tracks,

it feels oddly simple; the beat is a straightforward drum loop, and there’s a fairly stan-dard verse-chorus structure. It really says something about the adventurous spirit of the entire album when this song feels predictable.

Although the entire album is quite heavy, it’s not the emo-tional lyrics, but rather the beats and production, that stand out and set the entire feeling of the record. To Pimp a Butter-fly is far from the style you’ll hear in most hip-hop records created today.

“Hood Politics” is a fascinat-ing breakdown of how people communicate. Lamar returns

to form, dropping heavy lines, such as “Critics want to men-tion that they miss when hip-hop was rappin’ / Motherfucker if you did, then Killer Mike’d be platinum.”

Yet again, the first 10 sec-onds of this song sound noth-ing like the song a minute in — and again, the lyrics always give the listener the impression there’s a deeper meaning wait-ing for those ready to dig.

Let’s not forget “i”, which did a complete 180 and became a standout on an album full of amazing performances. The album had me scrambling when this track began as a more electrifying version of the

upbeat single Lamar released last September. The spo-ken word/freestyle Lamar uses to end the track is im-peccable. It feels more like a scene from a movie than a song.

“Mortal Man” closes with a return to form as Lamar “in-terviews” 2Pac. Lamar doesn’t seem to care about competition in rap anymore — his sights are set on conquering all of music.

Even if you’re not a fan of rap, To Pimp a Butterfly is a must-listen. The path Lamar chose to take is a difficult one, and the album itself is a challenge to follow and understand. Almost nothing about Lamar’s

future is certain, but one thing this album establishes for sure: Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest creative minds alive today.

BASEBALL

Shaw helps Longhorns trample WildcatsIn the fifth inning Sun-

day, Collin Shaw launched a ball onto Comal Street for a two-run home run.

After breaking a 1–1 tie in the same inning, the se-nior right fielder’s second home run of the season at UFCU Disch-Falk Field gave Texas a 4-1 lead over No. 14 Kansas State.

“[I’ve just been] going [to the plate] with the ap-proach of helping the team win no matter the situa-tion,” Shaw said.

Texas eventually took a 6–1 win and secured a three-game sweep over the Wildcats.

The Longhorns jumped on Kansas State early in the game. After the Wildcats retired the first two Long-horns in the first, junior shortstop C.J Hinojosa lined a ball into right for a single. Sophomore catcher Tres Barrera then brought Hinojosa home with a dou-ble off the left-field wall.

Texas had a chance to add to its 1–0 lead in the second when redshirt freshman Bret Boswell hit a lead-off single and fresh-man catcher Michael Can-tu followed with a walk. Sophomore pitcher Kacy Clemens batted in the des-ignated hitter’s spot and bunted the two runners into scoring position, but Texas left them stranded.

The Wildcats took ad-vantage of the Longhorns’ misfortune in the third, as Kansas State tied the game

at 1–1. The game went into a stalemate until the fifth inning, when junior left fielder Ben Johnson hit an RBI double to give Texas a 2–1 lead. The Longhorns continued their onslaught with Shaw’s two-run blast.

Texas added a run in the seventh inning and its final run in the eighth, when Bo-swell hit an RBI single down the middle to score Barrera and extend the lead to 6–1.

After a disappoint-ing midweek loss to UT-Arlington, John-son said coming back

and the hitting the ball well this weekend helped Texas’ momentum.

“You got to give credit to [UT-Arlington]. They played a great game,” John-son said. “It’s just some-thing we had to learn from. We have a great, mature team, and if something like that happens, we got to learn from it. And I think we did that this weekend.”

In addition to Texas’ hitting Sunday, the Long-horns turned in solid per-formance from Clemens. He pitched five innings,

allowing two hits and one run and striking out one.

“[Clemens’] outing was good,” head coach Augie Garrido said. “Each time, he’s progressed. That’s what winners do. That’s only the seventh time he’s pitched in two years. He’s quite an im-provement and quite an ad-dition to the pitching staff.”

Although Garrido said he liked what he saw from Clemens, Clemens said he still felt he had room to im-prove.

“I think my change-up and slider has been

better,” Clemens said. “I think I had the best stuff against UT-Arlington. To-day, I really couldn’t locate my off-speed as well as I wanted to.”

Junior pitcher Travis Duke replaced Clemens in the sixth and freshman Connor Mayes closed the final 2 2–3 innings of play with two strikeouts and zero hits allowed.

Texas (16–8) will look to build off its sweep when it plays Texas State (10–12–1, 6–3 Sun Belt) at 6 p.m. Tuesday in San Marcos.

MEN’S TENNIS | MICHAEL SHAPIROWEEKEND RECAPS

No. 8 Texas faced off against unranked Texas Pan-American on Sunday, win-ning by a score of 5–2 at the Westwood Country Club in Austin. The match marked the Longhorns’ seventh win in eight matches and was their last match before the start of conference play.

Over the course of spring break, the Longhorns also faced off against two Big Ten opponents, No. 2 Illinois and No. 11 Ohio State. Texas fell to Illinois, 4–2, but rebound-ed against Ohio State, win-ning by a score of 4–1.

The matchup against Texas Pan-American marked a change in the Longhorns’ lineup as head coach Mi-chael Center sat his top-three singles players — seniors

Søren Hess-Olesen, Lloyd Glasspool and Adrien Berko-wicz — in order to give them some rest before Big 12 play. Sophomore George Goldhoff took over Hess-Olesen’s No. 1 singles spot. Junior Nick Naumann replaced the No. 2 singles spot, and freshman John Mee replaced the No. 3 singles spot.

Goldhoff made the most of his appearance at No. 1 singles, beating Texas Pan–American sophomore Juan Cruz Soria in straight sets, 6–4, 6–3. The win improved Goldhoff’s season record to 13–8.

Texas will begin Big 12 play this week, facing off against Oklahoma State on Friday and No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners on Sunday.

WOMEN’S TENNIS | REANNA ZUNIGA

No. 36 Texas finished off its three-game homestand with a 4–2 win against No. 18 Tex-as Tech on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Raiders started off strong with two wins on the doubles court to take the doubles point, but the Long-horns were quick to rally. No. 49 Texas junior Breaunna Addison defeated Texas Tech senior Kenna Kilgo on court one, 6–2, 6–0, to put a point on the board for Texas.

Following Addison’s win, freshman Ryann Foster and senior Lina Padegimaite both took command of their own courts and beat out their competitors to strengthen Texas’ lead.

The only loss in singles came from freshman Dani Wagland, who struggled against Texas Tech sopho-more Lynn Kiro and fell, 6–3, 6–4.

The win marked an impor-tant shift for the Longhorns.

After facing a series of inju-ries and a tough schedule, the Longhorns, who also took down two higher-ranked op-ponents last week, are return-ing to full power.

Over the break, Texas took on its first string of Big 12 dual-match games. It started off with a 4–2 win against No. 23 Oklahoma and then a 4–1 loss to No. 10 Oklahoma State.

Texas then came home to Austin to play Yale and TCU before taking on the Red Raiders. The Longhorns took the lead early against Yale by winning the doubles point and then swept the singles for a 4–0 victory. Texas could not get the up-per hand against No. 21 TCU and fell to the Horned Frogs, 4–0.

Texas is currently 2–2 against Big 12 teams, and its next match will be against Iowa State on Friday.

WOMEN’S GOLF | BRIDGET BONASOROPREVIEW

Following a strong show-ing at the Texas-Hawaii Clas-sic, the Texas women’s golf team will continue its season this week at the Anuenue Spring Break Classic in Ka-palua, Hawaii.

The Anuenue Spring Break Classic at the Kapalua G.C. Bay Course is the ninth event of the season for the Longhorns. Although the Longhorns have not won any events so far this sea-son, they have competed through cold and windy weather with performances that have kept them in com-petition until the last day of

every tournament.For the fifth-straight time

this season, the Longhorns will feature a lineup with junior Tezira Abe, sopho-more Julia Beck, sopho-more Anne Hakula, junior Natalie Karcher and senior Bertine Strauss. The group will try to put the Long-horns on the top of the lea-derboard. Sophomore Lara Weinstein will also be com-peting as an individual at the tournament.

The Longhorns will be one of 16 teams participating on the par-72 course. In a season in which the Longhorns have

already produced strong re-sults, they hope to put it all together and earn their first team win this season at the 54-hole tournament.

Stafford, who has struggled this season due to injuries, cap-tured her second-consecutive double-double performance in this year’s NCAA Tournament with 20 points and 11 boards. After limited playing time dur-ing the regular season, she has been a focal point of Texas’ postseason play.

“This has been a really long season,” McGee-Stafford said. “Coach has brought me along slow and made sure I

got my legs back. All of [my] teammates have been really helpful, waiting for me to get everything back and trusting me when I was ready.”

With a slew of injuries and adversities this season, head coach Karen Aston focused on using her veteran players to help the Longhorns make a deep postseason run in the weeks

leading up to the tournament. “Because we have experi-

ence, we know what to expect when the NCAA Tournament comes,” Davenport said when the seeds were announced. “I think it’s just a feel for the game and when the freshmen and sophomores see us on the court, it just makes them more comfortable.”

“Our upperclassmen did a great job in tough conditions. Beau and Gavin, with 68 and 69, were outstanding. Kram-er’s 72 was equally solid. Their combined expe-rience served us well,” head coach John Fields said.

Rounding out the Long-horn contingency were freshmen Doug Ghim (69-74-74) and Scottie Scheffler (73-71-75).

The team has next weef off and returns to the course April 4 at the Augusta Col-legiate Invitational in Augusta, Georgia.
