DESCRIPTION

The Wednesday, October 21, 2015 edition of The Daily Texan.

Citation preview

Student Government members introduced a resolution in support of sexual assault pre-vention and self-de-fense education in new student curriculum.

Legislation co-author Jennifer McGinty said the resolution will show Uni-versity leadership, such as President Gregory Fenves, how serious students are about the issue.

“It is good to have leg-islation that says Student Government supports this, since we are the official voice of the students and since we have something in writing that says the student body wants this,” McGinty said. “This gives more credit to getting that to actually happen and making sure President Fenves knows this is a stu-dent initiative and not just from one or two girls who are writing legislation.”

The legilsation was

written following the late-September release of a sexual assault study by the Association of American Universities, which found that almost one in five women reported being sexually assaulted since their enrollment at UT.

“Sexual assault is never the fault of the survivor,” Voices of Violence, a cam-pus resource that speaks out against interpersonal violence, wrote in the

Following Bevo’s death, a chalk representation of the UT and Texas A&M mascots adorned the East Mall Foun-tain on Monday morning, accompanied by the words “R.I.P. Bevo” and “A&M lives on.”

Landscape Services washed the chalk off upon discovering it, according to Laurie Lentz, communica-tions manager of University Operations. As demonstrat-ed by Monday’s incident, clean-up procedures, set in place by Facility Services, attempt to remove chalk art-work as soon as possible.

Lentz said Facility Ser-vices cleans up vandalism based on requests or prior knowledge of graffiti.

“To keep our campus as clean and orderly and invit-ing as possible, it would be important to clean [vandal-ism] up,” Lentz said.

Computer science fresh-man James Graham said he sees chalk vandalism frequently, and while some artwork is gone within two or three days, he has seen others last up to a week and a half. He said he has never reported an instance of chalk vandalism.

“I figured it was chalk and it will wash off, so I didn’t feel like it required imme-diate University attention,” Graham said.

Lentz said she believes chalk vandalism is a preva-lent issue on campus and occurs frequently.

As part of Sustainability Week on campus, the Engi-neers for a Sustainable World hosted “Build Your Own Ter-rarium” on Tuesday, an event where students across cam-pus were able to construct a habitat for their very own sustainable plant.

Hosted by the Campus En-vironmental Center, campus Sustainability Week events focus on sustainability issues and topics. Tuesday’s theme centered around gardening and each subsequent day will feature a different sustainabil-ity topic.

“The goal of this event is to raise awareness about what sustainability really means,” Caroline Kung, chemical engi-neering sophomore and mem-ber of the organization, said. “The plants we chose for these terrariums require very little

As financial troubles cause music venues such as Holy Mountain and Red7 to shut their doors, maintaining a hub for live music downtown seems increasingly difficult.

But local entrepreneur Chad Goldwasser isn’t daunted.

Tellers, which is located on Sixth and Trinity streets, offi-cially opened Oct. 2. The ven-ue will host its grand opening celebration Saturday and Sun-day featuring performances from Graham Wilkinson,

Kalu James, Hunter Sharpe, Digital Wild and others. Club owner Goldwasser said he and co-owner Adam Weed-man want to provide a space for Austin musicians to come together with the community.

A librarian at the Perry-Castañeda Library said in a workshop Tuesday afternoon that keeping personal books in a cool temperature and dry en-vironment with no direct exposure to sunlight will help prevent decay.

The workshop is part of the fall 2015 Learn-ing Commons Work-shops located on the main floor of PCL in the Learning Commons.

Wendy Martin, man-ager of digitization ser-vices and conservator for the UT Libraries, said this workshop is geared for personal collections, not library collections. She also encouraged leaving the care of rare books to professional services.

“Mold thrives in a warm, moist environ-ment,” Martin said, while

showing around an old book covered in mold.

In addition to basic storing and proper han-dling, Martin said it is also important to avoid storing the items in an attic or basement.

Later during the event, Martin gave a hands-on demonstration of minor

repair techniques includ-ing mending torn pages, reattaching torn-out pages and consolidating dam-aged corners of covers.

resolution, A.R. 13. “There is no excuse for sexual as-sault; eliminating rape culture and creating a cul-ture of consent is vital to the safety of UT students; and in the event of sexual assault, the survivor has the right to counseling, administrative and emo-tional support, fair and prompt reporting, and criminal investigation.”

Going forward, McGinty said adding more training, such as online modules for defense training, can help students feel safer.

“By making this an elec-tive and providing some hours for students, more would come out for the training,” Edward Banner, the engineering represen-tative for Student Govern-ment, said.

McGinty said this is a beneficial thing to add be-cause, while UTPD has a

course in place, incoming students are not as familiar with it because it is not as easily accessible.

Grace Gilker, Women’s Relations Agency direc-tor and co-author of the legislation, said she looks forward to broadening ap-proval of the legislation be-fore discussing the it with University officials.

“We have been work-ing with several members of SG,” Gilker, said. “We have met with UTPD, and we will meet with President Fenves later in November. We want to add SG’s coalition to this support.”

Taral Patel, chief of staff of Student Government, said at next week’s meet-ing, Student Government would introduce the Safe Campus Act, which mir-rors legislation written by the Texas Senate this past session.

“What it essentially does is the victim would

be required to report this crime,” Patel said. “UT has come out against this bill, and this is something we are working on to finding ways to address.”

resources to take care of once you have them in the right envi-ronment, which is the whole idea behind sustainability.”

Organized by Jennette Saunders, sustainability co-chair for the organization and chemical engineering junior, “Build Your Own Ter-rarium” was funded by the Student Engineering Council in order to educate students on sustainable gardening.

“The plants we chose are perfect for college students, since they are really low-main-tenance and don’t require con-stant watering,” Saunders said. “The coolest part is that the plants are their own ecosystems in the jar.”

Students built terrariums in small glass jars and filled with moss, gravel, charcoal and soil. After the necessary items were packed into the jar, students chose a succulent to complete their terrarium.

“I never would have guessed what all goes into gardening before coming here,” chemical engineering sophomore Li-anne Martin said. “The coolest part was that I actually got to get dirty and make this myself,

so I really feel like it’s my own.”The organization is com-

prised mainly of engineering majors, but students from all areas of study are able to join. The Engineers for a Sustainable World also hosts other proj-ects year round that promote environmental sustainability.

“As a member of the orga-nization, you can get involved in as many of our projects as you want,” Kung said. “If you have an idea for a new project that promotes the environ-ment, then you can get fund-ed for it, and anyone from the organization can be involved in it.”

Saunders said she thinks this event was par-ticularly useful in raising environmental awareness.

“The hands-on activ-ity really fits our purpose here,” Saunders said. “I re-ally like seeing that this event made people love learning about sustainability.”

years and working with UT Libraries for 10 years.

“I enjoy doing this kind of outreach,” Mar-tin said. “Most of what I do is behind the scenes, so it’s nice to occasion-ally have the opportu-nity to share what I know and what we do with the University community.”

While the content of the workshop has not changed in the six years Martin has led it, this year, Martin introduced the Austin Books Arts Center, a resource of-fering bookbinding and book arts workshops. The workshop was also held for the first time in the newly built Learn-ing Commons, which suits the purposes of the class better than the PCL basement did, according to Martin.

Jennifer Lee, assistant

director for techni-cal services and head of preservation and digital curation services for UT Libraries, said, over the years, participants have come back to ask follow-up questions and look at new materials.

“These are things an average person can do, with supplies and tape and minimal training,” Lee said.

Dale Correa, Middle Eastern studies librar-ian, said she wanted to preserve her child-hood books, includ-ing a 30-year-old copy of “Where the Wild Things Are.”

“I would like to repair them so my daughter could keep using them, too,” Correa said. “I’m go-ing to go home and apply these [techniques].”

Martin said the PCL plans to hold a workshop on preserving digital ma-terials in spring 2016.

“I think [vandalism] is fairly easy to do, and it can be easy to do un-detected at night,” Lentz said. “The simplicity of it draws people.”

Lentz said chalk van-dalism is most common outdoors and is frequent-ly seen around parking garages. Indoor vandal-ism occurs less often and is usually written with Sharpies. Custodial Ser-vices, a division of Facili-ties Services, is responsible for cleaning the vandal-ized areas.

Landscape Services, another division of Facili-ties Services, is usually the first to detect and wash off vandalism because of their 6 a.m. arrival on campus, according to Lentz.

While the content of chalk messages vary, Lentz

said Facility Services re-sponds if they are asked to clean it up, regardless of whether the message is of-fensive or not.

“Experience has proven that any amount of graf-fiti attracts more graffiti, so our practice is to remove graffiti as soon as it’s noticed,” Sally Moore, associate director of Facili-ties Services, said in a Dai-ly Texan article published Oct. 15, 2013.

Graham said he thinks chalk transcriptions pro-vide a way to make mes-sages public but said he doubts the reliability of this method, because it will most likely be erased or removed.

“I think that if some-one’s got a message that they want to deliver pub-licly, it’s an interesting way to do it, but I don’t know that it’s super effective,” Graham said.

While some students came for the free chocolate bars, others came to a Tues-day lecture to hear Hershey president and CEO John Bil-brey give advice and discuss his career.

Bilbrey, who was named CEO in June 2011, said his curious mind allowed him to overcome some of his weak-nesses in certain areas in or-der to advance his career.

“There’s a certain tough-ness and perseverance re-quired, and you have to be able to overcome more ob-stacles than people making it easy along the way,” Bil-brey said. “That’s certainly a very important piece of it. I was always raising my hand, ‘Why can’t we do it this way, why couldn’t we do that?’ I think I was quite annoying

There is no excuse for sexual assault; eliminat-ing rape culture and cre-ating a culture of consent is vital to the safety of UT students; and in the event of sexual assault, the survivor has the right to counseling, admin-istrative and emotional support, fair and prompt reporting, and criminal investigation.

—A.R. 13

The 2015 documentary “India’s Daughter” raises awareness of rape and sexual violence around the world, according to panelists at a Tuesday screening.

Directed by Leslee Udwin, “India’s Daughter” tells the story of a 23-year-old Delhi woman’s brutal rape and mur-der at the hands of a group of men in December 2012. The incident immediately sparked protests around the country, forcing the Indian government to promptly act in bringing the accused to justice.

“Part of it is how the govern-ment said that this is not repre-sentative of our values and cultur-al traditions,” Taral Patel, Student Government chief of staff, said. “This is an argument that has been going on for decades in India, and we as a society have to acknowledge that there are values that we cherish — equality

and tolerance — that sometimes do conflict with our culture.”

Asian Family Support Services of Austin (AFSSA) hosted the screening in part-nership with Voices Against Violence, among others, as part of Relationship Violence Prevention Month .

During the film, the victim’s mother and father, as well as the defense and trial lawyers involved in the case, dis-cussed the gruesome account and trial. Two of the defense lawyers frequently said wom-en need to be accompanied by a male family member at all times when walking outside, as one of the defenses for the rapist’s actions.

Political communication se-nior Hira Prakash, who also in-terns with AFSSA, said the film is important because it tells the story of a medical student from a South Asian perspective dur-ing a time when rape culture is heavily discussed.

“Talking about some of

these things from a cultur-al perspective is also very important,” Prakash said. “There are some things that are just very unique to the culture in terms of how you talk about these things.”

Electrical engineering sophomore Alex Bi said the film provided an in-depth analysis of the Western per-ceptions of rape, in compari-son to the more traditional Indian point of view.

“I thought it was really eye-opening,” Bi said. “I liked the way it was presented, and I thought it was a good way of promoting positive change and helping young people open their minds to ways we can change things about rape in the United States and in other countries.”

The next event in Voices Against Violence’s relation-ship violence campaign will be held this Wednesday at 8 p.m., with an interactive Theatre for Dialogue perfor-mance examining consent .

said Facility Services re-sponds if they are asked to clean it up, regardless of whether the message is of-fensive or not.

“Experience has proven that any amount of graf-fiti attracts more graffiti, so our practice is to remove graffiti as soon as it’s noticed,” Sally Moore, associate director of Facili-ties Services, said in a Dai-ly Texan article published Oct. 15, 2013.

Graham said he thinks chalk transcriptions pro-vide a way to make mes-sages public but said he doubts the reliability of this method, because it will most likely be erased or removed.

“I think that if some-one’s got a message that they want to deliver pub-licly, it’s an interesting way to do it, but I don’t know that it’s super effective,” Graham said.

Attendees at next year’s Euphoria Festival may be headed home earlier than they expected each night, while neighbors to the festival sleep in peace after the Coun-ty Commissioners Court passed changes to mass-gath-ering regulations in August.

Euphoria Music and Camping Festival filed a law-suit against Travis County in late September, after the Tra-vis County Commissioners Court approved noise cur-fews. The new rules require all amplified music to end by 11 p.m. on weeknights and 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. At the festival last April, music was scheduled until 12 a.m. on Sunday and 2 a.m. on Fri-day and Saturday, according to Euphoria Festival’s website.

The suit challenges the legality of the new curfew, stating that the new rules are unconstitutional under state law. A county has no au-thority to enact zoning laws, according to the suit, and the Commissioners Court cannot regulate the festival’s hours of operation.

Commissioner Margaret Gomez said despite the court not having zoning authority, she doesn’t want to dismiss ounty government’s duty to improve the lives of citizens.

“[We] don’t have the zon-ing authority, of course, but we have statutes that are passed by the legislature which give us authority, or the ability, to look into making life a little better for people outside of the cities,” Gomez said.

Euphoria Festival takes place at Carson Creek Ranch, a private ranch in an unincor-porated part of Travis County. Nearby neighbors complained about noise from the festival and other similar music festi-vals held at the location.

The Commissioners Court unanimously approved the revisions to the mass-gath-ering permits after hearing testimony in August from neighbors who live near the music festival venue.

Commissioner Brigid Shea said she voted to pass the motion because it gave each side a little of what they were asking for.

“It’s a really important part of who we are as a community and how we’re known in the world, so the live music aura of our community is really important,” Shea said. “I also understand the human and public cost of excessive noise.”

Chad Shearer, chief operat-ing officer and creative director at Caren West PR, manages public relations for Euphoria Festival and said he was un-able to comment on any pend-ing legal matters, since the suit hasn’t yet been heard.

“While the challenges pre-sented to Euphoria and many other music events in Travis County have required we try to gain further clarity on how these new regulations may affect us, our current focus is on our fifth anniversary and doing everything we can to insure that this is the best Eu-phoria yet,” Shearer said.

The restricted hours the new rule enforces would di-minishes the the festival, ac-cording to the suit.

“Euphoria cannot secure all of the performing talent for the festival if the hours of operation are restricted, and most such top talent must be secured many months in advance, because of the com-peting demand for their ser-vices,” the suit read.

The suit asks for a tempo-rary and eventually perma-nent injunction against the the shorter hours of operation. Euphoria Festival will be April 7–10 and general admission tickets went on sale Oct. 16.

While some students came for the free chocolate bars, others came to a Tues-day lecture to hear Hershey president and CEO John Bil-brey give advice and discuss his career.

Bilbrey, who was named CEO in June 2011, said his curious mind allowed him to overcome some of his weak-nesses in certain areas in or-der to advance his career.

“There’s a certain tough-ness and perseverance re-quired, and you have to be able to overcome more ob-stacles than people making it easy along the way,” Bil-brey said. “That’s certainly a very important piece of it. I was always raising my hand, ‘Why can’t we do it this way, why couldn’t we do that?’ I think I was quite annoying

to my boss, probably.”Bilbrey said it is impor-

tant for a corporation to give back to the community it is involved in and said his company tries to adhere to that principle by using local resources in production.

“One of the interest-ing things about the food business is food is local, and manufacturing close to where it is going to be consumed is also re-ally important,” Bilbrey said. “These people love the company, this is their company, so we all make up this company.”

Ahmed Khan, manage-ment information systems sophomore, said he believed Bilbrey mentioned impor-tant information related to corporate entrepreneurship and curiosity.

“He also [advised] to remain curious and to

remain optimistic and stay on the path of always learn-ing about your industry,” Khan said. “I think it’s really important … even if you’re 40 years old, you still have to learn as if you’re really young. I think he empha-sized the fact that you need to maintain that sense of cu-riosity and remain a student of your industry.

Bilbrey came to Uni-versity as part of the VIP Distinguished Speaker Se-ries jointly hosted by the McCombs School of Busi-ness and Undergraduate Business Council. Bilbrey’s

philanthropic work in the community made him a good fit for the series, ac-cording to Kenny Young, a finance sophomore and the series’ chair.

“I know that there’s some misconceptions right now that corporate America is bad … and doesn’t do any-thing progressive in terms of giving back,” Young said. “I think [Bilbrey] is definitely one of those people who has shined a light in a positive direction about how utiliz-ing corporate image and brand can ultimately be a good thing.”

Panelists discuss documentary on Indian rape-murder case

By Forrest Milburn@forrestmilburn

Gabriel Lopez | Daily Texan StaffHira Prakash, political communications senior and Asian Family Support Services of Austin (AFSSA) intern, joined in hosting a movie screening of “India’s Daughter” on Tuesday evening.

One of the interesting things about the good business is food is local, and manufacturing close to where it is going to be consumed is also really important.

Imagine that you are stopped by a police of-ficer on an empty street. You feel intimidated — maybe because you are Black and he is white or you are a woman and he is a man. But how in-timidated would you feel if he had a body cam-era keeping track of your interaction?

Both campus and city residents may soon be answering this question. The University of Texas Police Department is currently test-ing body cameras for its officers, and Austin Mayor Steve Adler wants officers in the Aus-tin Police Department to start wearing them in 2016. While the body camera programs for both departments are still in their early stages, it’s clear that they aren’t just lip service, which is great news for Austin residents.

The public’s and campus’s desire for body cameras began after a string of highly pub-licized interactions with police hit the news, including one in Texas involving Sandra Bland and one involving a group of teenag-ers in McKinney. The aftermath of these in-cidents was confusing because accounts from witnesses tended to differ and change.

This is a problem, and police officers need

to be held accountable for inconsistent re-ports. One way of doing this is to give them body cameras. An officer is much less likely to harass someone or treat them with prejudice when he has a camera on his person that is re-cording the interactions he has with citizens. People can talk to police and feel safer know-ing that they have more than just one person who will know about the conversation.

Body cameras also have ways of helping the police themselves. If someone tries to falsely accuse a police officer of harassment or vio-lence, then the police officer can show footage from the camera to prove that they are inno-cent. Also, if details of an interaction are be-ing disputed or if officers need to go back and review part of a confrontation, they can do so easily and get the footage they need.

This is not to say that body cameras are perfect. The body camera program for the Los Angeles Police Department allows for LAPD to withhold the footage from the public, which can raise suspicion. This is something UTPD and APD need to take into consider-ation. Body cameras can also be expensive to create and implement. The Dallas Police De-partment’s body camera program is estimated to cost at least $3.7 million.

Overall, however, the benefits of body

cameras far outweigh their potential costs. In an age where many Americans feel dis-trustful of the police, these cameras could go a long way toward restoring the sense of trust that should exist between officers and

the citizens they protect. And on a dark and empty street, they could make those same citizens feel a whole lot safer.

Perhaps one of the most iconic and cel-ebrated features of life as a Longhorn fan is the Longhorn mascot, Bevo. He repre-sents the legendary UT football team and the entire culture behind it. Bevo XIV died from bovine leukemia virus last Fri-day, and much of the UT community has mourned his loss.

Bevo XIV touched the hearts and souls of hundreds of thousands of Longhorn fans, as seen through the level of empathy and kindness that people have expressed towards the animal over social media. But why don’t we extend that level of empathy toward all animals or even all cows?

The difference between a longhorn steer like Bevo and any of the 34 million cattle used for beef or milk production amounts to al-most nothing, yet the same people who claim to love the cow do not hesitate when munch-ing down on their hamburger the next day.

People should align their actions with their beliefs — either love Bevo and don’t eat the corpses of his species, or don’t love Bevo and continue eating meat.

Jacek Prus, philosophy senior and presi-dent of Students Against Cruelty to Animals,

said that this trend of hypocrisy among the community is disconcerting.

“People are sad that Bevo is dead, which is cool, but they don’t make the connection that the burgers and the milk they drink cause suffering to animals like Bevo, except on the scale of hundreds of thousands and millions of them,” Prus said. “Why are we eating our own mascot?”

Prus poses an excellent question. We should be concerned when such a large gap exists between the way we treat different ani-mals of the same species.

“We’re so conveniently isolated from ani-mals that are turned into food, and that’s the only way that this industry exists,” Prus said. “People’s empathy has been destroyed. It can’t exist, because they don’t see the animal and don’t spend time with it.”

Neuroscience freshman Arushii Nadar did not grow up isolated from animals, and her experiences turned her and her mother into vegetarians for life.

“When I was younger, I lived in India. Slaughterhouses were out in the open, and I saw animals being casually butchered,” Nadar said. “It was awful.”

But meat culture is rarely talked about in the United States. 95 percent of Americans eat meat, so doing so is considered normal and acceptable. However, Prus said that the

widespread nature of meat eating does not show that it is morally acceptable.

“There are a lot of immoral things that peo-ple do around each other,” Prus said.

Although it can seem difficult to empathize with animals people have eaten all their lives, the response to Bevo’s death showed that we

do have that capability. It’s about time to try to expand our “circle of compassion,” as Prus calls it, from just our mascot to the millions of other animals who did not have the fortune to be named Bevo.

Sexual assault research must consider race in the future

From the image of the Jezebel — a sexually promiscuous and immoral Black woman — to the image of the Sapphire — a hostile, nag-ging, dark-skinned woman — myths and ste-reotypes have long shaped how society denies or minimizes the impact of sexual assault on women of color. These stereotypes, rooted in a grim history of racial brutality, have allowed for sexual violence committed against women of color to be viewed as insignificant, accept-able or even justified.

“[Stereotyping] creates symbolic violence and devalues the bodies of certain students,” sociology graduate student Juan Portillo said.

At the university level, it is difficult to direct a conversation on how Black women experience sexual violence because of the way data is col-lected. The AAU survey results released Sept. 21, while thought provoking and insightful, fail to capture the University’s racial demographic. In light of UT’s dismal 13 percent response rate, the University-specific data fails to capture the nuances of sexual violence on campus.

“[The survey] is missing something im-portant,” Portillo said. “The assumption goes that, regardless of race, the experience of sexual violence is the same. That assump-tion is premised on erasing or not realizing [Black] experiences.”

Black women also face barriers when seek-ing help in times of adversity. Experienced rac-ism has caused many Black women to distrust

institutions designed to help survivors. At hos-pitals or at the hands of law enforcement, Black women are given less priority and more likely to be treated with disrespect.

The story of Marissa Alexander, a Florida woman sentenced to 20 years in prison for firing a warning shot during a fight with her estranged husband, is an example of this. According to Portillo, a graduate student assistant for Voices Against Violence, distrust for institutions poses a challenge for the University, as well.

“The work [Voices Against Violence] does matters, and it does have an impact,” Portillo said. “But we are not making the changes in institutions to be able to re-spond to issues such as how to be sensitive to the different experiences.”

Efforts to make the conversation on sexual violence more intersectional are be-ing made on campus. Lynn Hoare, health education coordinator for Voices Against Violence, said partnerships with student organizations have been the most effective way to build an inclusive discussion on race and bring about change.

More research is required to grasp the scope of sexual assault Black women experience and the barriers they face to receive support ser-vices. This requires both the will and fund-ing of the University to prioritize the lives of students of color. The University owes it to its most marginalized voices to recognize the systemic racism that has long rendered Black female bodies invisible.

Promoting gender equality requires nuanced rhetoric

Women are so often described as “crazy” or “overly emotional” by men that the nega-tive adjectives are often found creeping into a female’s vocabulary when describing other women. This is unacceptable. In fact, it can be argued that for feminism — also known as gender equality — to become a widespread phenomenon, it needs to start from within. Women need to be more respectful to each other to ensure respect from men.

Respect involves both employing non-gender-specified rhetoric and validating one’s emotions. It is derogatory to dismiss emotion because of gender. This practice teaches women to ignore the importance of their thoughts and feelings. In fact, a recent study showed people react more positively to opinionated anger from men than wom-en. This supports many women’s complaints of workplace discrimination.

If women showed more respect towards each other, it would become increasingly ta-boo for a man to discredit and disrespect a woman. Slander is a power tool; ultimately, it is used to establish hierarchy and to prove one’s self above another. Speaking of a person in de-rogatory, gender-specific terms allows societal gender inequality to perpetuate.

“The ways that women associate with each other and how some of us will use ‘slut’ or ‘bitch’ to talk about each other does not help the fact that we don’t want a guy to talk to us

like that,” biology senior Allysa Garcia said. These terms are considered taboo in soci-

ety, deemed as inappropriate and hurtful, yet continue to have a presence in casual vocabu-lary. Most women become upset upon hearing someone assign this stereotype to them, yet many turn around and use the same words for other women. This not only hurts self-esteem but produces a never-ending circular cycle of gender-specified rhetoric which contributes to the social inequality faced by many women in the United States today.

Sociology adjunct professor Gloria González-López said in an email that a patri-archal society makes women responsible for men’s sexual behavior, placing undue blame on the female in cases of sexual promiscuity.

“Research and theorizing on gender in-equality and sexual violence against women has discovered and documented the ways in which women may believe, internalize, and take into practice the very same belief system that oppresses us as women,” González-López said in the email. “For instance, a young wom-an may confide in her friend about the experi-ence of sexual assault she had Friday night on 6th Street. That friend may then ask her ques-tions like, ‘What were you wearing that night? Are you sure you did not provoke him?’”

Rhetoric has more influence than we of-ten acknowledge. It is time to understand the weight of words and the practices they pro-mote. It is time to promote equality between genders, which must begin with women em-powering women.

millennials still hang onto N64s or how adults dig out their old board games and action figures, proves that to-day’s world still has an attach-ment to old cultural icons.

Advancements in technologyMarty’s journey into “Café

’80s” also presents a memora-ble moment when he shows a couple of cynical kids the wonders of an old arcade cabinet. This scene com-ments on how video games have benefited from updated technology. The boys’ disgust over playing a video game using their hands shows that games, such as those us-ing Kinect, can now be used without controllers. Like-wise, the way the café uses computers to playfully resur-rect popular figures such as Michael Jackson and Ronald Reagan is eerily similar to the use of holograms at concerts to bring back deceased icons such as Tupac and Elvis.

“Back to the Future” made other accurate predictions about technology. Just as Marty chatted with Needles on his TV, many people to-day have held face-to-face conversations from miles away over Skype, Google Hangout and other commu-nication applications on their laptops, tablets and phones.

The people of the fictional 2015 have also become ab-sorbed with their electronic devices, even in the company of their friends and family — as Marty’s brood sits down for dinner, his kids focus more on their TV glasses than on holding conversation. While Google Glass hasn’t become commercial yet, the idea be-hind the scene has proved startlingly prescient.

The hoverboardPerhaps the most recog-

nizable aspect of “Back to the Future”’s depiction of 2015 was Marty’s pink, Mattel-brand hoverboard. Today’s scientists have yet to achieve the technology to mass pro-duce anything beyond ex-perimental prototypes, but some developments have at-tempted to revolutionize the way people travel. Recently popular stand-ins are “smart-balance scooters,” which are two-wheeled, handle-less scooters that are the clos-est way to ride the streets in midair.

The Chicago Cubs could get into the World Se-ries, and Miami did get a baseball team

Marty stumbles upon a billboard congratulating the Chicago Cubs on their 2015 World Series win against a then-fictional Miami baseball team with a gator

mascot. The real 2015 World Series has yet to happen, but right now, the Cubs are 0-3 in the National Championship League Series against the New York Mets. If the Cubs manage to win the NCLS, they have a shot at making “Back to the Future”’s pre-diction come true by win-ning their first World Series since 1908.

As if that weren’t weird enough, Miami got a team in 1993, the Florida Mar-lins. The Marlins play in the NCLS, so they can’t actually play the Cubs in the World Series, but they did beat the Cubs in the 2003 NCLS, 4-3.

Flying carsIn “Back to the Future”’s

version of 2015, the skies are filled with flying cars. Trans-portation in 2015 isn’t nearly as cool, and people will have to make do with terrible driv-ers on congested roads, rath-er than in traffic-stuffed sky-ways. But drivers won’t have to settle for less for much lon-ger, because aircraft company Terrafugia is working hard to make the flying car a real-ity. The company has already developed the Transition, dubbed the world’s first prac-tical flying car, and it’s cur-rently developing the more streamlined TF-X. Those who want to take to the skies first can reserve a flying car on Terrafugia’s website.

Goldwasser, a real estate broker, said his experience as a businessman will set Tellers apart from other struggling lo-cal venues. He said he plans to support the 150-person venue by “getting creative” — hosting multiple shows a day and rent-ing the space for private events such as weddings and SXSW in March.

“I never quit,” Goldwas-ser said. “I never give up. I’m a promoter, I’m a marketer and I’m not just going to sit back and hope it survives. I’m not just going to put an ad in the Chronicle and hope that

people come.”Goldwasser said his eager-

ness to open Tellers led him to start hosting concerts less than two weeks after leasing and renovating the building.

“Music is one of my first passions, besides my children,” Goldwasser said. “To me, [Tell-ers] is not my place — it’s Aus-tin’s place. I want the musicians to come in, and if there’s one per-son in the audience, I’m going to be in the front row dancing.”

Each of Tellers’ three floors has a different ambiance. A warm, speakeasy-inspired bar called Vinyl hosts DJs and after-hours parties down-stairs. On the main floor, ex-posed stonework preserves the

historic feeling of the 19th-cen-tury building. Upstairs, the main stage is set up for three or four genre-spanning shows a night.

“God gave me this intensely fire-burning energy,” Goldwas-ser said. “I don’t need much sleep, and I love serving peo-ple, so when you come into Tellers, you’ll see me greeting people, behind the bar making drinks, dancing at the front of the stage, helping the bands. When we all work together and everybody works hard, things run smoothly.”

Weedman said he hopes to set the bar apart from oth-ers on Sixth Street by plac-ing an emphasis on friend-ly and personal service

from bartenders.“This is about knowing who

comes through the door, greet-ing them, getting to know who they are and why they’re here and making it a special place for people to hang out,” Weed-man said. “We’re going to push our bartenders and our servers to be exceptional at making people feel good.”

Goldwasser said he de-cided on the venue’s name, an abbreviation of “story-tellers,” because he believes music can tell stories that heal people.

“I love stories about songs,” Goldwasser said. “I want to know what they’re writing about and why.”

Wilkinson, who played at the club’s first night, said small venues such as Tellers are im-portant to the city’s music scene because they help bands gain exposure.

“This is a guy that’s from Aus-tin with local bands and local beers — whatever you spend there is going back to the com-munity,” Wilkinson said. “The goal behind it is to create an envi-ronment that is supportive to art-ists and listeners to hear all kinds of music.”

According to Goldwasser, Tellers is only the first part of a bigger plan. He and Weedman hope to open venues in cities across America with the goal of becoming the next House

of Blues. “My goal is build the most

amazing, legendary, kick-ass Austin music venue that ever was and then take it and drop it in L.A. and San Francisco and Minneapolis and Chi-cago and all over the world,” Goldwasser said.

“Hearts of Stone” introduc-es a handful of new bosses that largely stray from anything found in “The Wild Hunt” in terms of difficulty and cre-ativity. One boss fight against an otherworldly gravedigger with the power to siphon rash players health forces the player to abandon the usual button-mashing tactic and adopt a more cautious approach.

Disappointingly, the new enemies, Arachnids, put up no challenge to a sea-soned monster hunter who can mow through them in a single hit. In contrast to the new bosses, new enemy types are just re-skins of pre-vious enemies from “The Wild Hunt” that don’t chal-lenge the player to approach

battles differently.The expansion also intro-

duces Runewords, an addi-tion to “The Wild Hunt”’s rune system. They offer enhanced buffs that try to alter game-play styles by empowering the traditional runes, letting the player maximize their stats beyond what was possible in the base game. While they do offer a serious edge in battle, they are largely unnecessary. “Hearts of Stone” can easily be played through without ever using the new Runewords and can be easily missed by players who only go through the “Hearts of Stone” main quest line.

“The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone” truly exists in its own realm in the Witcher universe.

“Hearts of Stone” still offers more of the great gameplay found in “The Wild Hunt,” truly enriching the Witcher experience through a nar-rative that is easily the best the series has to offer, only falling flat in the minimal additions throughout the ten-hour adventure.

WITCHER continues from page 8

Head coach Jerritt Elliott isn’t satisfied. His Longhorns have won 12 matches in a row — nine of them in straight sets — but as Elliott stood on the corner of the court dur-ing Texas’s Friday practice at Gregory Gym, the 47-year-old coach from Pacific Palisades, California, refused to let his team relax.

Elliott doesn’t say much dur-ing practice, but his words car-ry extra weight. He shuffles his team through drills with short commands, shouting “weave” and “10-man” from the side-lines., as the No. 2 Longhorns follow his instructions to a tee. Why wouldn’t they? In his time in Austin, Elliott has been one of the premier coaches in the country. boasting a record of 365–86 heading into Wednes-day evening’s match against Kansas State.

“I still lose sleep about let-ting this program fall a little bit,” Elliott said. “So there is a ton of urgency on our end to keep trying to win games and play at a high level.”

At the collegiate level, a head coach is responsible for much more than X’s and O’s. In ad-dition to coaching his team on the court, Elliott serves as the de facto CEO for Texas volley-ball, overseeing each facet of the Texas program.

“Jerritt does a great job giv-ing us the space to do what we do,” assistant coach Erik Sullivan said. “He has a hand

in every part of the program, but he’s always open to new thoughts and new ideas.”

Although Elliott takes pride in being a strong tactical coach, he truly hangs his hat in the re-cruiting field. Since arriving in Austin in the spring of 2001, Elliott has compiled 13 nation-ally ranked recruiting classes, seven of which ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the nation.

“He’s a great recruiter,” se-nior libero Kat Brooks said.

“When I came on my visit, he was a big reason I chose Texas. He makes all of his players feel comfortable and at home, which is really important.”

As head coach, Elliott stress-es daily routines. His players follow a specific daily regimen, forcing them to concentrate on the fundamentals both on and off the court. These rou-tines have become critical to the program, and the Long-horns rely on them come

tournament time, when the pressure builds and players lose themselves in the moment.

“The tournament is all about routines and schedules,” junior middle blocker Chiaka Ogbogu said. “It helps to know what’s expected of us and what we need to do every day.”

One national champion-ship, six Final Four appear-ances and seven Big 12 titles place Elliott as one of the top coaches in Texas history. But

despite these accolades, Elliott isn’t satisfied.

“I want to keep building this program,” Elliott said. “I want to keep putting Final Four runs together, and I want to keep putting ourselves in position to win some more national titles. That’s what motivates me.”

Elliott and the Longhorns face unranked Kansas State in Manhattan, Kansas, on Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Longhorns confident heading into Saturday

Redshirt freshman quarterback Jerrod Heard said Tuesday that the Longhorns’ chemistry is peaking after a week off.

“Our chemistry right now is awesome,” Heard said. “We’re feeling for each other out there. The O-line, communication-wise, is great. … The re-ceivers are running the right routes. Everything is coming together.”

Heard said the upset win against the Soon-ers sparked new and im-proved chemistry. Ad-ditionally, several players are back from injury, which gives the Long-horns an extra punch.

“We’ve been very banged up, up front,” play-caller Jay Norvell said. “That affected us the last couple weeks, to be honest, … but this bye week has really helped us to heal up. We weren’t 100 percent, to be honest with you.”

The Longhorns are par-ticularly satisfied with the offense’s progress through bye-week practices. Heard said the unit im-proved the most during the week off. Now, he ex-pects it to put up points.

“That’s the one thing we wanted to do.” Heard said. “Just help our defense out, chew the clock down and execute.”

SPORTS BRIEFLY

Texas women’s tennis played its last true home match April 26, 2014.

The game — a loss to Oklahoma State — marked the last match played at the historic Penick-Allison Ten-nis Center. Contractors tore down the courts in May 2014 to make room for the Dell Medical School.

The tennis center, which stood a block west of the Frank Erwin Center, was Texas ten-nis’ home for 29 years.

“The destruction of Penick-Allison had a large ripple ef-fect on the tennis community,” Tom Webber, president of the Capital Area Tennis Associa-tion (CATA), said.

The ripple effect takes many forms. The demolition re-quired the program to relocate practices to Whitaker Fields, the home of UT’s intramural sports. It also moved team competition to the Weller Tennis Center and other local facilities.

The effects extended to all groups who use the courts regularly.

“The courts at Whitaker were cracked and in very poor condition until varsity moved there,” Samantha Wendt, president of the UT club ten-nis team, said. “They ended up renovating 20 of the courts, which is nice because we can now practice on safe courts when varsity isn’t there.”

Not all impacts were positive, though.

“Unfortunately, for a year, we lost the opportunity to host tournaments at the facilities, which hurt our club financial-ly,” Wendt said.

Club tennis couldn’t host its annual national tournament in 2014. Travel costs increased, and the team had to adjust its practice time to cater to the varsity.

Improving the courts was the first step in Whitaker’s renovation. Although the IM fields will shut down this week for construction, the tennis courts will remain open.

“[RecSports] does repairs and maintenance out there annually, and so those courts were going to be resurfaced anyways,” said Jennifer Speer, associate director of the Divi-sion of Recreational Sports. “We just sped up the resurfac-ing so that we could make sure they were in good condition for athletics.”

The athletics department covered one-fourth of resur-facing costs because varsity now practices at Whitaker, but intramural participants defer court priority to varsity.

Finance senior Clint Golman experienced that last weekend.

“All the resurfaced courts were taken, and we were forced to play on the older, decrepit courts,” said Golman, an intramural tennis cham-pion. “We considered waiting, but the one set of nice courts available later in the day were reserved by the women’s ten-nis team.”

Speer said no one has ap-

proached her with complaints. “Forty courts is more than

adequate for the community,” Speer said. “I don’t feel that we have displaced any students.”

As tennis continues to practice at Whitaker, plans are underway for a new facility elsewhere.

“We were very supportive of developing a facility [at Whita-ker],” Speer said. “However, athletics wanted a location that was much closer to campus.”

Before resigning in Sep-tember, athletic director Steve Patterson addressed the issue. Athletics decided that Texas tennis will move east across I-35 to a brand-new facil-ity. But Patterson didn’t raise enough funds for the project before resigning.

“We were told that we, the alumni, needed to raise $15 million before construction could begin,” Laurence A. Becker told The Daily Texan in April. Becker captained the 1958 UT tennis team and was assistant coach from 1962–1964.

The project remains in the early stages. Plans include 12 courts, a players’ lounge and state-of-the-art broadcast equipment. Facilities will also feature a trophy room, foyer and 1,200 seats.

To make room, the con-tractors will tear down the 39-year-old UT Printing and Press Building in December. Athletics hopes to cut rib-bons on the new facilities by February 2017.

Then, Texas tennis can again play a true home match.

The Longhorns will hold an intrasquad scrimmage Wednesday at 6 p.m. in Greg-ory Gym. Here are five things to look for when Texas takes the court:

1. Excitement to play: Smart talked about the scrim-mage during his media session Tuesday. He said he’s excited for fans to get a preview of this year’s lineup.

“You’ll see enthusiasm, you’ll see our guys playing aggressively,” Smart said. “Hopefully, you’ll see a con-nected group of guys on each side and guys having fun out there.”

2. HAVOC: Wednesday is the first time fans will see Smart’s “HAVOC” defense, which acts as a trapping de-fense that combines elements of the press and zone. Under the signature press defense, VCU ranked No. 1 in the na-tion in turnovers forced in 2011 and 2012, and behind this strategy, Smart took VCU to a Final Four appearance in 2011. It will be interesting to see what Smart’s defense looks like with Texas for the first time.

3. Carving out an iden-tity: This isn’t the same Tex-as team fans saw last year. Smart said last week that the team is still establishing its

identity. Last year, Texas av-eraged 67.4 points per game, which ranked No. 125 in the country. Smart wants to play at a higher tempo this season.

“The identity has to come first, before the style of play,” Smart said. “In terms of bas-ketball, we want to play faster than maybe they did in the past.”

4. Roach: Junior Isaiah Taylor, senior Javan Felix and senior Demarcus Holland will split most of the point-guard time this season. But Smart said freshman Kerwin Roach, Jr. should get play-ing time at point guard in the scrimmage.

“I’d say 90 percent of [Roach’s] reps have been at the point-guard spot,” Smart said Tuesday at Big 12 media day. “Though when he is in there with Isaiah or Javan, he’s very capable of playing off the ball.”

5. Final touches: Smart said the biggest challenge as a first-year coach is getting everyone on the same wavelength. Even though the season opener is 23 days out, Smart’s progress will be evident at Gregory on Wednesday.

“The biggest challenge is getting on the same page — players, coaches, every-one that’s part of our pro-gram — and us being con-nected around one goal, connected around a process for accomplishing that goal.” Smart said.

“The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone,” an expansion to the critically acclaimed “The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt,” strives to separate itself from the largely grandiose narra-tive that comprised the main series’ titles. Avoiding a plot focused on medieval politics, the expansion adds a more

human element to its story-telling. The new story struc-ture gives it a severely differ-ent feel from its predecessors and engages players with the characters found within “The Witcher”’s mystical universe.

“Hearts of Stone” begins by introducing Olgierd von Everec, a noble rogue, as he criticizes a statue of a naked woman. To him, the statue is nothing more than a rock,

ideally proportioned, with-out a flaw on its surface. In disgust, he sends the statue crumbling onto the floor. This introduction sets a thematic tone for the rest of the expan-sion, which seeks to decon-struct the stolid character of Geralt of Rivia who existed in the previous iterations of “The Witcher.”

The new narrative strives to repeatedly put Geralt in

situations in which he is forced to break his usually stoic char-acter, having him act as a fool during a wedding or break from his lone-wolf mental-ity to plan a heist. Overall, the story is a refreshing change of pace from the emotionless mutant that players have come to know.

The series has previously used flat characters that range from irredeemably evil to

unscrupulous in order to tell its cynical fairy tale. “Hearts of Stone” seeks to tell a more human tale, focusing itself around the relatable story of a single character, von Everec.

Von Everec lacks the self-interest and intrigue char-acteristic of previous char-acters in the series. He has human flaws, and his story is tragic.

The new story takes place

in the northeast region of Novigrad, which is more open than in “The Wild Hunt.” The region recycles many of the as-sets used in “The Wild Hunt” to create its new landscapes and towns. Despite these new additions, the story takes place in the familiar city of Oxenfort, requiring little exploration on the part of the player.

Film geeks are dusting off their power-laced Nikes and donning their self-drying jackets to celebrate “Back to the Future Day.” Wednesday marks the exact date when series protagonist, ’80s teen Marty McFly, traveled to the year 2015 in Robert Zemeckis’ “Back to the Future Part II.” While Zemeckis said he never intended to accurately depict the future, his vision did get many aspects about it right

Nostalgia for previous decades

The scene in which Marty walks into the colorful “Café ’80s” shows that “Back to the Future Part II” nailed the ob-session people would have for the past. From the kitsch decorations to computer-ized versions of ’80s celebri-ties, Zemeckis knew how to exaggerate an entire decade for laughs. He also predicted future generations would rely on nostalgic reminis-cences of outdated media and entertainment. The way
