Gov. Rick Perry named UT-Austin government ju-nior Max Richards as the stu-dent regent for the UT System Board of Regents on Tuesday. Richards will be the second consecutive student regent from the University, replacing Nash Horne, outgoing stu-dent regent and communica-tion studies senior.

Richards was not one of the four finalists for the student regent position, ac-cording to documents ob-tained from the governor’s office by The Daily Texan.

According to System policy, the selection process for the position requires students to apply directly to their student governments. The applications then go to the president of each institution, who submits up to five applications to the UT Sys-tem. They are then processed through two UT System offices

Many students remain un-aware of a policy that allows students to report alcohol-related emergencies without facing disciplinary action.

Although there are more students aware of the Uni-versity Health Services’ alco-hol amnesty policy this year than last year, the number of informed students remains low, according to results released from a survey dis-tributed to students before spring break.

The Student Amnesty for Alcohol Emergencies pro-gram, set up in 2008, is cur-rently being “relaunched” after UHS found that many students were still afraid to report alcohol-related emer-gencies because of the pos-sibility of getting in trouble.

According to Frances Nguyen, health promotion coordinator at University Health Services, many stu-dents, when told about the policy, dismissed it as being too good to be true.

“A lot of what we found in our research is a lot of students have heard about it but don’t believe it exists,”

Nguyen said.In fall 2013, the National

College Health Assessment found that only 6 percent of UT students surveyed knew about the amnesty program. Before spring break, UHS distributed a second survey and found 13.9 percent of the 724 students who completed the survey were familiar with the policy.

“It’s something that exists and we really want students to know about it,” Nguyen said. “It reduces that barrier that when students call 911, that should be their first re-

action instead of worrying about what the disciplinary action should be.”

According to Jason Thibodeaux, director of Student Judicial Services, there were 199 cases in-volving alcohol on campus, and of those cases, 11 were deemed eligible for the am-nesty program. He said most disciplinary action is taken when students in residence halls are left alone because their friends do not report the situation.

Court: Ban on affirmative action legalCITY

PRC shuttle line may be switched to MetroRapidIn a 6-2 decision Tues-

day, the Supreme Court is-sued a ruling allowing the state of Michigan to ban the use of race as a factor in its college admissions pro-cesses, and, according to a UT law professor, this may open the door for a consti-

tutional ban on affirmative action in Texas.

The ruling comes nearly a year after the Court sent Fisher v. Texas, the case de-termining the legality of the University’s race-conscious admissions policy, back to the Fifth Circuit District Court. Judges on the court have yet to issue their ruling on the Fisher case.

Justice Anthony Ken-nedy wrote the majority opinion of Schuette v. Co-alition to Defend Affirma-tive Action, ruling that neither the Supreme Court nor Congress has the au-thority to prevent state vot-ers from deciding whether to allow affirmative action polices in government de-cisions, including college

admissions processes.The decision upheld

the legality of the Michi-gan Civil Rights Initiative, also known as Prop. 2, a 2006 ballot initiative that amended the state’s consti-tution to prohibit discrimi-nation or preferential treat-ment for any individual or group “on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or na-

tional origin.”Kennedy wrote that the

Michigan case, like the Texas case, is not about the constitutionality or merits of race-conscious admission policies.

Parking and Transporta-tion Services and Capital Metro representatives dis-cussed a proposal that would change the current Pickle Research Campus shuttle route to a MetroRapid route, at a public forum on campus Tuesday night.

The PRC shuttle route, which connects the Pickle Research Campus and the main UT campus, currently has stops near the intersec-tion of Dean Keeton and Whitis and the intersection of Dean Keeton and San Jacinto. Blanca Juarez, UT Parking and Transportation spokes-woman, said the route will be transitioned to the existing MetroRapid 803 route, which goes along Burnet Road and Lamar Boulevard.

CapMetro transportation planner Lawrence Deeter said the need for greater ef-ficiency and lower costs prompted the shift to a Me-troRapid route.

“[The new route] will im-prove reliability and increase days of operations,” Deeter said. “PRC is the lowest per-forming route right now, and we’ve trimmed it over the years because it has the low-est ridership.”

According to Juarez, the new route will run seven days a week, unlike the

Pedicab license freeze extended

Michelle Toussaint/ Daily Texan StaffDavid Tashnick, owner of Easy Rider Pedicabs, believes tricycles are preferred to trailers by pedicabbers. The city is considering banning some pedicab models.

The city of Austin’s freeze on issuing new pedicab licenses, which was sup-posed to expire Wednes-day, will remain in place for another three months as the Austin Department of Transportation finalizes recommendations for ad-ditional regulations, which may include a ban on cer-tain trailer pedicab mod-els. The moratorium has

been in place since April 2012.

Department officials will consider implement-ing a city-wide cap on the number of pedicab per-mits in circulation and a requirement that pedicab companies use a three-wheeled, fully connected tricycle model, rather than a model in which a brake-less trailer is connected to a normal bicycle.

“In 2012, the council ap-proved some regulation,

but those two things were not addressed at that time,” said Carlton Thomas, act-ing parking enterprise manager for the Austin Department of Transpor-tation. “The Austin Trans-portation Department was given what amounted to two years to conduct re-search and look out across the country, to see how other cities are handling the number of pedicabs

sions policies under the Constitution, but whether, and in what manner, voters in the states may choose to prohibit the consideration of racial preferences in government decisions, in particular with respect to school admissions,” Ken-nedy wrote.

In his opinion, Ken-nedy also addressed Fisher v. Texas, in which Abigail Fisher sued the Univer-sity after it denied her un-dergraduate admission in 2008. Fisher, who is white, claimed UT denied her

admission because of her race.

Four states — Califor-nia, Florida, Washington and Michigan — currently ban the use of affirma-tive action in admissions processes. Adjunct law professor David Gonzalez said Tuesday’s decision will likely cause many senators and representa-tives across the country to draft laws addressing af-firmative action. Gonza-lez said he believes in the next few years, Texas vot-ers will likely amend the state’s constitution to ban affirmative action.

“I would guarantee that someone is going to try and draft a law and say ‘let’s ban this — let’s ban any prefer-ential treatment for race,’” Gonzalez said.

In her dissenting opin-ion, Justice Sonia Soto-mayor said Michigan’s ban on affirmative action will “uniquely disadvantage ra-cial minorities” and argued that governing boards at in-dividual universities should have the power to deter-mine admissions policies for themselves.

Joshua Tang, a represen-tative of We Support UT, a group formed to support the University’s admissions policies, said he thinks the use of race in the admis-sions process allows uni-versities to fully evaluate an applicant.

“Race, in this country, still plays an important role in the experiences that people have, and it’s impor-tant that those experiences are recognized when uni-versities are deciding who to admit to their schools,” Tang said.

“If the people had reached out for help first, it wouldn’t be a disciplinary issue,” Thibodeaux said.

Thibodeaux said the low numbers of reports are due to the lack of students who are aware of the program.

“Honestly, when we meet with students they don’t even know about this amnesty policy until we bring it up,” Thibodeaux said. “We would be more than happy to have many situations of the policy. We’re not out to get people.”

Student Judicial Services and University Health Ser-vices will be working togeth-er through the summer to raise awareness of the policy among first year students and will attempt to make the pro-gram better known in the fall.

Jessica Duncan Cance, as-sistant professor of kinesiol-ogy, said the re-launch of the program would also give the University an opportunity to educate students about the

signs of alcohol overdose.“It’s a very thin yet scary

line that takes somebody from being drunk to poten-tially at risk of an alcohol overdose,” Cance said.

Cance, who is a co-chair of UT’s Wellness Network’s High-Risk Drinking Preven-tion committee, said the stu-dents should know the signs of alcohol poisoning. Accord-ing to Cance, the committee has been working to educate more students about the am-nesty policy this semester.

Cance said signs of alco-hol overdose include men-tal confusion, gasping for air, paleness of the skin and throwing up.

“Just like you know you should wear a seat belt every time you get in the car, this should be information that is just part of your sub-con-sciousness,” Cance said.

Cance said the amnesty policy should make students more willing to report al-cohol related emergencies and make them less worried about the consequences.

“It’s better to have a friend be mad at you than to have a friend who has an extreme medical emergency,” Cance said. “That’s a much better thing to have to deal with than to have a death or some-body hospitalized because they had too much to drink.”

The house transparency committee investigating the actions of UT System Regent Wallace Hall canceled a hear-ing scheduled for Wednesday.

The House Select Com-mittee on Transparency in State Agency Operations will still have its scheduled hear-ing Thursday at 1 p.m.

The transparency commit-tee has been investigating Hall

since July 2013 for potentially overstepping his duties as a regent. Some state legislators have accused Hall of overstep-ping his duties as a regent and conducting a “witch-hunt” to oust President William Pow-ers Jr. According to testimony at a committee hearing in October, Hall filed open re-cords requests for more than 800,000 pages of information from UT.

The final report from the special counsel to the

committee indicates Hall likely committed impeach-able offenses during his time as regent. The report states Hall manipulated the house investigation and coerced witnesses. The report also alleges Hall mishandled pri-vate student information and potentially violated state privacy laws. These claims have been referred to Travis County prosecutors.

According to a Texas Ethics Commission report,

originally obtained by the Texas Tribune on Tuesday, State Rep. Charles Perry, a member of the transpar-ency committee, received $2,500 in campaign contri-butions in December from Accountability First — a political action committee Hall has supported finan-cially in the past.

On Monday, 17 college councils at UT signed a let-ter asking Hall to resign from his position as regent.

Starting May 1, the Aus-tin Police Department will launch a program that will allow Austin Travis County Integral Care, an agency of medical professionals who provide on-site treatment and resources for people facing a psychiatric crisis, to serve as first respond-ers alongside APD officers to assist in potential mental health crises.

In certain areas of the city, Integral Care personnel will respond to calls as they hap-pen when a patrol officer is still on the scene.

“The goal behind that is to try to offer officers an oppor-tunity to divert somebody with a mental health crisis from arrest — to intervene when someone’s having a crisis and offer the officer dif-ferent options that we didn’t always have available to us,” APD Sgt. Michael King said.

APD’s crisis intervention team receives more than 100 cases per month, many of which may involve people with mental illness. By part-nering with Integral Care, the department can refer more serious cases to clini-cians who make follow-up visits and referrals for mental health services.

“The police department is good at certain things, and our unit does follow-up on the original calls the patrol officers handle on a daily basis,” King said. “But our background is a not as medi-cal professionals, and we’re not as well-trained as the employees of Integral Care. They’re better suited to pro-vide quality care to these in-dividuals, guide them to the right resources and get them proper long-term treatment.”

Although APD’s relation-ship with Integral Care dates back several years, the two organizations have increased their collaboration this year. In the first four months of 2014, APD has referred 680 cases to Integral Care.

“It was kind of on an as-needed basis,” King said. “This has been a great benefit to us because, in the past, with so many cases and only seven of-ficers, a lot of times an of-ficer would read a case for follow-up, look at it and be done with it. But now, we can say, ‘I think this person might benefit if we send this case over to Integral Care.’”

According to King, UT’s Counseling and Mental Health Center is part of a large network of agencies that work together on mental health initiatives.

Jane Bost, the center’s as-sociate director, said the center rarely works directly with APD.

“There are very unusual situations, like when we had the suicide shooting a couple of years ago, where they [cli-nicians] come to campus and work with victims’ assistance to provide intervention and support,” Bost said.

Bost said the center un-veiled its newest mental health program April 16.

“We are piloting the Mo-bile MindBody Lab, and, so far, we’re getting some trac-tion on that,” Bost said.

The lab, which will be set up in various locations around campus, is aimed at promoting stress manage-ment and psychiatric health.

“The student reaction we’ve had to the lab really is exciting, and that’s not the end,” Bost said. “We’ll be planning for new initiatives over the summer.”

and sent to the chancellor, who sends them to the governor.

Richards said he ap-plied directly to Perry’s office rather than to UT’s Student Government.

According to policies out-lined on the System website, the student government from the same institution as the current student regent may not solicit applications for that student regent’s successor.

Nicole Collette, graduate student at UT-Arlington, was one of the finalists for the po-sition. She said she was not aware students could apply di-rectly to the governor’s office.

“I really don’t have any hard feelings towards the gentleman who was picked,” Collette said. “I wish him the best of luck. I wish UT-Arlington could have gotten some attention because we’re doing some pretty great things here. Maybe [the option of applying to the governor’s office] is something we can ad-dress in the future. Hopefully, it won’t be so vague.”

The student regent, first cre-ated in 2005, is a non-voting position on the board, intended to give students representation in board decisions. Richards will serve a one-year term from June 1 until May 31, 2015.

Richards said he appreci-ates the chance to serve as student regent.

“I’m really excited to be able to give back to the UT System,” Richards said. “This System has given so much to me, and I look forward to making a positive impact.”

Richards, who attended UT-San Antonio his freshman year, said he wants to visit the various UT institutions during his time as student regent.

“I look forward to going to different campuses and ex-ploring issues they face that could be different from UT-Austin,” Richards said.

Richards said he has always been interested in the board’s activity, but he will use the transition period to update himself on the current issues. He said he is not concerned about the existing tension

between President William Powers Jr. and the board.

“I feel like the System has a whole lot to offer, and I feel confident in the staff and the people that make up UT,” Rich-ards said. “I feel very confident the staff has the best interests of the University in mind.”

UT-Austin spokesman Gary Susswein said Richards’ appointment is an achieve-ment for the University.

“This is a great accomplish-ment for [Richards] and a great reflection on the Univer-sity,” Susswein said. “It’s always exciting when a UT student gets appointed to positions of leadership and authority.”

current UT shuttle route, which only runs Monday through Friday. Juarez said it will also run more fre-quently: about every 10-12 minutes during rush hour.

“PRC only operates about 12 hours a day and stops ev-ery 60 minutes,” Juarez said. “With the Metro route, there will be a lot more travel op-tions to get to and from the two campuses.”

Deeter said the new route will also include features not

found on the UT shuttle bus-es, such as real-time arrival information, mobile ticket-ing and free onboard Wi-Fi.

Travel time from the re-search campus to the main campus would remain about the same compared to the PRC Shuttle and would be 20 percent faster than Route 3 Burnet/Manchaca, which also stops by the Pickle Re-search Campus, according to Deeter.

Deeter said one downside

of the transition is that the new MetroRapid route locations require a greater walking dis-tance down Dean Keeton than the old PRC stops did.

“The rapid only stops on Guadalupe, and there’s two stations — one by the West Mall, and one by Dean Keeton — which means there’s about a six-minute walk,” Deeter said.

Additionally, the new route will eliminate one stop on the north side of the

Pickle campus, which could reduce access for students in that area, Deeter said.

Engineering researcher Rick Pastor said the change could prove problematic for some students who take the UT shuttle to get to West Pickle Campus.

“We teach a class out at West Pickle in the fall, and some students ride the PRC out there, and now they won’t be able to do that,” Pastor said.

that operate in their ju-risdiction, and the type of pedicabs that are permit-ted to operate.”

The department is look-ing at data from cities in-cluding New York, Den-ver and Phoenix, Thomas said. Council member Chris Riley sponsored the original ordinance with Bill Spelman.

Leah Bojo, a policy aide for Riley, said the council approved the extension be-cause they were not prepared to draw conclusions about ideal pedicab regulations.

“The staff hadn’t com-pletely worked through the stakeholder process to get the final recommenda-tions,” Bojo said.

David Tashnick, owner

of Easy Rider Pedicabs, said the tricycles are safer and more economical.

“It doesn’t make busi-ness sense for any pedicab owner to use trailers be-cause the riders prefer tri-cycles,” Tashnick said. “I’ve lost count of how many drivers I’ve hired that used to drag trailers and wanted something better.”

Tashnick said he is con-fident that the council will implement the regulations being discussed.

“I’m very certain the city council is going to even-tually put a sunset on the usage of trailers here in town, and, in a few years, trailers will no longer be permanent in Austin,” Tashnick said.

Children have been shown to benefit from attending schools where the student population includes a mix of students from high- and low-income households, but re-cent enrollment projections have shown that the percent-age of low-income students in Austin’s public schools is set to rise, decreasing the economic diversity of Austin’s school system, according to an article published in the

Austin American-Statesman on Saturday. Low-income families have fewer options when it comes to school choice, and so it’s crucial that Austin’s public schools provide rigorous learn-ing environments to children from all economic backgrounds. Thoughtful public policy may be able to curb the increasing economic segregation of Austin’s school system, so city leaders should take note and start planning to address the problem sooner rather than later.

Last week, the NCAA Legislative Coun-cil voted to approve unlimited meals and snacks for Division I student-athletes as long as they are participating in their sport, though it must be accepted by the Division I Board of Directors at a meeting Thursday. If the Board of Directors does choose to ac-cept the new plan, it will be a positive step for all student-athletes, especially those who aren’t on scholarship.

The decision came weeks after Shabazz Napier, the NCAA men’s basketball tour-nament’s Most Outstanding Player, alleged that he often went to bed hungry.

In a postgame interview, Napier spoke to reporters about the National Labor Rela-tions Board ruling that Northwestern’s full-scholarship football players are University employees and therefore eligible to form a union.

“Sometimes, there’s hungry nights where I’m not able to eat, but I still gotta play up to my capabilities,” Napier said. “I don’t see myself as so much of an employee, but when you see your jersey getting sold, to some credit, you feel like you want some-thing in return. … There are hungry nights when I go to bed and I’m starving.”

Napier also acknowledged that some student-athletes are financially supported by their scholarships.

“We’re definitely blessed to get scholar-ships to our universities, but, at the end of the day, that doesn’t cover everything,” Na-pier said. “We do have hungry nights that we don’t have enough money to get food in. Sometimes money is needed.”

Napier then referred to this year’s cham-pionship UCONN squad as the “hungry Huskies” during his postgame speech on perhaps the NCAA’s biggest stage, and there has since been speculation that the legislative council’s decision was a direct response.

Regardless of whether Napier’s allega-tions are true, they’re definitely plausible in that prior to this ruling student-athletes on scholarship only received three meals a day. While three meals sounds like plenty of food, for athletes who can burn 2,500 calories a practice yet have energy require-ments that exceed 4,000 calories a day, it’s insufficient at best.

Beyond the insufficient meals offered to student-athletes, players also have to con-tend with the early closing times of cam-pus dining halls. According to USA Today, the legislative council will allow schools to “determine how to best meet the additional nutritional needs of its student athletes,” which could include a late-night meal.

While a lot of emphasis has been placed on Napier in regards to the NCAA’s change in policy, the real winners of this ruling are

the walk-ons, or players not on scholarship, who now have access to unlimited meal plans after being denied the three-meal plan before.

Shawn Izadi, a pre-med senior lineback-er, is excited about the ruling given that he walked on to the UT football team. Izadi, who didn’t receive any free meals before, will now qualify for the unlimited food and snacks that the policy provides.

“It is great to finally see walk-ons pro-vided this same benefit,” Izadi said. “They go through the same hard work, practices and meetings without the scholarship and, before this move, without provided meals. It never made sense to me why I wasn’t al-lowed to eat with the team during certain team meals.”

In addition to unlimited meals and snacks, this ruling includes several other provisions, including reduced penalties for first positive drug tests, nationally accred-ited strength and conditioning coaches, the presence of a CPR-certified staff member at all athletic events, and at least three hours between football practices.

No one will deny that the legislative council’s approval of this ruling is ben-eficial to student-athletes — and especially for walk-ons — but I can’t help but wonder what’s in it for the council? Are they really interested in enhancing the well-being of the student-athletes or is this just a scheme to hush increasingly loud talks of college athletes unionizing?

Izadi thinks this compilation of le-gal matters has forced a response from the NCAA.

“If you look at it from the viewpoint of the NCAA, they are under so much criti-cism from every possible source in recent months,” Izadi said. “[Other cases are] cre-ating waves to compensate players, media is creating their own pressures, Northwest-ern football is unionizing, and then, on basketball’s biggest stage and the NCAA’s biggest revenue maker, Napier takes mul-tiple shots at the NCAA with reference to the hungry Huskies. It really seems like the NCAA was forced into this move. They had to give the people something in response to everything.”

Curtis Riser, physical culture and sports sophomore and offensive guard on UT’s football team, thinks the decision was made to discourage athletes from unioniz-ing. He said he still thinks they should get paid but will gladly accept the meals in the meantime.

Following the news of the meal plan leg-islation, former head football coach Mack Brown tweeted, “Great move by the NCAA giving student-athletes in all sports, includ-ing walk-ons, unlimited meals and snacks. This is great for student athlete safety.”

UT athletic director Steve Patterson, however, is opposed the idea of unionizing.

“The universities, the conferences and the NCAA have done a very poor job of telling our story and we’ve allowed this story to be created by the sports press to focus on the one-half of 1 percent of the student-athletes that go on to play pro sports,” Patterson told ESPN.com “But 99.5 percent of student-athletes would not be in the position they’re in without getting a scholarship.”

Although Northwestern football players have been given permission to unionize, they will vote on whether to exercise that privilege Thursday, the same day directors meet to finalize the meal plan proposals. If these adopted proposals are finalized, they will take effect Aug. 1.

Izadi said he is not so sure of whether the NCAA had ulterior motives with the meal plan proposal but thinks this move is defi-nitely the first step of hopefully many more in the right direction.

“We are about to witness a huge change in the culture of sports and the way it is all around,” Izadi said.

NCAA should approve new meal plan proposal

HORNS DOWN: DIVERSITY IN AUSTIN SCHOOLS TO DECREASE

No one will deny that the legislative council’s approval of this ruling is beneficial to student-athletes — and especially for walk-ons — but I can’t help but wonder what’s in it for the council? Are they really interested in enhancing the well-being of the student-athletes or is this just a scheme to hush increas-ingly loud talks of college athletes unionizing?

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court added yet another chapter to the ongoing narrative of race-based admissions processes in U.S. col-leges. Announcing its decision in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, the court upheld the state of Michigan’s ban on using race as a factor in university admis-sions, explaining that nothing in the U.S. Constitution allows judges to set aside popu-larly decided state initiatives, such as Michi-gan’s prohibition on race-based admissions.

Ultimately, this case does not make a rul-ing on the constitutionality of race-based admissions policies. As Supreme Court Jus-tice Anthony Kennedy wrote in his opinion, “This case is not about how the debate about racial preferences should be resolved. It is about who may resolve it.”

However, the decision will allow state legislatures to potentially ban affirmative-action policies in public state universities through voter-led initiatives.

The decisions is most definitely a blow to

affirmative action policies, but it is far from a final verdict on the constitutionality of af-firmative action programs — such as UT-Austin’s holistic review process. This case is likely still years away.

The possibility that the court’s decision will have an immediate impact on the au-tonomy of individual universities, however, could become a reality as soon as 2015, when the Texas legislature next convenes. It doesn’t take a stretch of the imagination to assume that some states, such as Texas, could follow Michigan’s suit and pass voter-led referendums that ban race-conscious ad-missions programs.

Granted, the entirety of this issue applies only to public schools, and that distinction is an important one. But, while we wait for the dust to settle around a “national consensus” about affirmative action at U.S. universities, we think it best to leave these decisions to the individual schools, who best know their own needs in regard to diversity.

Affirmative action decision leaves unanswered questions

on NBC’s “Hannibal.” Bruce McCulloch guest starred as a priest in season four of “Ar-rested Development” and has also been on “Workaholics.” The most recognizable mem-ber is Dave Foley, who voiced characters in Pixar films, in-cluding “A Bug’s Life,” “Mon-sters University” and “Cars.” He also has guest-starred in many shows, such as “It’s Al-ways Sunny In Philadelphia,” “Will & Grace,” “Justified,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “Desperate Housewives” and “Scrubs.”

Marc MaronMaron is most notable

for starring in the IFC show “Maron,” in which he plays a

fictionalized version of him-self in a manner similar to “Louie,” in which he guest starred as himself for an epi-sode. He also had a small role in “Almost Famous,” in which he played an angry promoter.

Fred ArmisenAs one of the most recog-

nizable actors on the lineup, Armisen starred on “Satur-day Night Live” for 11 years and currently stars on IFC’s sketch comedy “Portlandia.” In addition, he has been in films such as “Anchor-man” and “Easy A,” and he has guest starred on shows such as “Modern Family,” “Parks & Recreation” and “30 Rock.”

something,” Terrazas said. “If you tell me it can’t be done, I will tell you in five ways how I can do it.”

Much of Terrazas’ out-look toward education and achievement can be seen in her father’s attitude as well.

“Telling a young person ‘no’ when they’re little, you don’t know the emotional impact that [it] can have on their ability to achieve,” said her father, Joel Ter-razas. “Anytime she came up with an idea, even the ones I thought were silly, I always just told her, ‘Hey, that’s an option. Never close the door.’”

Terrazas said she feels

lucky to be surrounded by individuals and profes-sionals who don’t discrimi-nate against her based on her gender.

“Everyone I associate and do business with knows that women can handle it,” Terra-zas said. “Nowadays, every-one recognizes that women are a strong force.”

She doesn’t face much ad-versity — rather, she said she gets positive responses from teachers, moms and read-ers she meets on book tours and signings.

“It’s always been, ‘Wow! You’re doing it and making it possible for other women,’” Terrazas said. “It’s important that you make your own ad-vantages because there are always going to be excuses.”

After retiring in 1977, Aus-tin-based socio-anthropolo-gist Amnon Orent decided to travel the world and visit the places he had only discussed in classes. During his travels, Orent photographed people to tell the stories of their heritage, rituals and culture. His current exhibition, “The Many Faces of Humanity,” is on display at the Gallery at the J on the Dell Jewish Commu-nity Campus.

Orent photographed indi-viduals from various coun-tries, including Vietnam, Is-rael and Papua New Guinea. Each set of photographs con-sists of people from different countries who are linked by a common thread.

“He focused on photo-graphing the faces of hu-manity — ordinary people often being portrayed in their tribal dress acting out rituals of their ancestors,” said Laraine Lasdon, chair-woman of the visual arts committee and the gallery. “What you learn when you look at these photos is the

idea of ritual itself. A ritual might be going to school; it might going for a swim every morning or going to church on Sunday. It can be anything.”

In one photograph, a man on South Congress plays a banjo, carrying several other instruments on his back. In the photograph displayed above it, a Native American man from Montana, wearing his own traditional dress, is about to enter a powwow.

“What he’s trying to do is break down barriers by show-ing us how, despite the big differences that you see, his pictures show people perform-ing in situations and [how] the foundation of those ritu-als is the same,” Lasdon said. “There’s a similarity in human-kind that we often overlook.”

Orent said his photographs are candid and that he enjoys taking pictures of people en-gaging in an activity.

“The most interesting pic-tures are always when people are doing something, not just the face,” Orent said. “The thing that interested me the most in the last few years is the subject of devotion. Being

an anthropologist, I always like to know what people are doing and why they’re doing it.”

While following common threads, such as music and de-votion, Orent found that peo-ple enjoy being photographed and sharing their stories.

“There’s a commonality there,” Orent said. “People like to smile, and there’s some-thing about people. They’re proud of themselves. People are expressive and want to be

known and recognized. My camera is a way to be recog-nized. People like that. It’s the theme of humanity — that we all are beautiful.”

At Thursday night’s recep-tion, Orent will recount the stories of his travels and the context of the photographs.

“Wherever you look in the world, you’ll see some sort of immersion philosophy,” Lasdon said. “That’s what these exhibitions show: are we really all that different?”

This week marks the third year of Austin’s Moontower Comedy Fes-tival, and, while serious comedy fans will recog-nize most of the names on the lineup, the aver-age person might be puz-zled as to who a lot of the performers are.

Many of this year’s head-liners can be seen in sup-porting roles or as writ-ers on popular movies and

television shows. The Daily Texan compiled a guide to where some of these comedi-ans have been spotted.

Artist displays ‘The Many Faces of Humanity’

By David Sackllah@dsackllah

When April Terrazas visits elementary schools, she always begins her presentations by asking the students in the au-ditorium to raise their hands if they like science — about half of them do. She then tells the other half to raise their hands, promising that they too will like science before the hour is over.

Terrazas, a UT biology pre-med alum, writes chil-dren’s books for a living. But don’t expect the pages of her five published books to be filled with imaginary charac-ters or talking animals. Ter-razas writes and illustrates books about science.

“I would like to change the way science is taught in elementary school,” Terrazas said. “At least try to get some change going on in Austin.”

During high school, Terra-zas, an Austin native, started what she called a “babysitting empire” in the neighborhood where she grew up. When it was time for her to go to UT, she knew that keeping the con-nections she had created was important, but she needed to refocus her business. Terrazas created Crazy Brainz Tutoring her freshman year. The com-pany, which she still runs to-day, helps tutor children in the Austin area four days a week.

Terrazas eventually decided against attending medical school and, instead, decided to

create Crazy Brainz Publishing and write children’s books.

“Being around kids this long and seeing the potential there taught me that you can do something with a child,” Ter-razas said. “They are so primed for knowledge. I wanted to take advantage of that time and make learning fun.”

Terrazas’ second book in the Super Smart Science

Series is called “Chemistry: The Atoms and Elements” and is dedicated to UT chemistry professor Brent Iverson. To this day, Terrazas thinks Iverson was one of the best educators she’s ever had.

“[Iverson] is the type of pro-fessor that made you want to go the extra mile,” Terrazas said. “When I did my chemistry book, I was like, ‘I’m [going to]

dedicate this to him’ because my goal with my books is to make science fun for little kids, and he made science fun for me.”

Since graduating from UT, Terrazas has been involved in UT’s alumni network, Texas Exes. Through Exes, she has been able to speak on panels and has been featured in the Texas Exes alumni magazine, Alcade. Kira White, Texas Exes

alumni relations director, met Terrazas after coordinating for her to speak on a panel.

“Her books are reader-friendly, and every adult and child can gain something from them,” White said. “It’s funny: When I was going through her cellular biology book, I told her that the book could have helped me when I took Biology C and D.”

Terrazas under-stood what content needed to be included and how it should be presented, but she needed a sound business model. Luckily, she grew up with an entrepreneur as a fa-ther and a supportive mother.
