A Student Government resolution calling for the res-ignation of UT System Re-gent Wallace Hall was taken off the SG agenda Tuesday because many students who originally sponsored the legislation felt that it pre-maturely accused Hall of being guilty.

The legislation, AR 4: “Calling for the Resignation of Regent Wallace Hall,” was originally written by chief of staff Chris Jordan, finance and English junior, and ad-ministrative director Nosa Aimuyo, government junior, according to liberal arts rep-resentative Sergio Cavazos,

the first sponsor of the leg-islation. Cavazos said he decided to pull his sponsor-ship after realizing he would not be able to help re-word the legislation. According to Cavazos, seven out of the eight assembly members who had originally spon-sored the resolution pulled their names.

“I think all of us as Student Government representatives value due process,” Cavazos said. “We were not willing to support a resolution that spe-cifically condemned Wallace Hall for his actions based on an investigative report which has not been proven in a court of law. … I voiced my

Despite having the 14th largest economy in the world, Mexico is still suffer-ing from long-term devel-opment issues, according to Mexican politician Gabriel Quadri, a former presiden-tial candidate who spoke at the LBJ School of Public Af-fairs on Wednesday evening.

Quadri, who spoke for the Asociacion de Empresarios Mexicanos Jovenes Austin, said the GDP per capita is lower in regions of Mexico with larger rural populations.

“Economic development goes hand in hand with ur-banization,” Quadri said. “Almost every developed country [has] almost 95

Eighteen Save Our Com-munity Coalition members were arrested while par-ticipating in a sit-in against Shared Services in front of President William Powers Jr.’s office, following a more than 200-person protest in front of the UT Tower on

Wednesday afternoon. According to UT spokes-

man Gary Susswein, the ar-rested demonstrators will be charged with criminal trespassing, a Class B misde-meanor. Susswein said Pow-ers was in his office working all afternoon.

“[The protesters] were giv-en several warnings by the Dean of Students’ office that at 5 p.m. the office would be closing and they needed

to leave,” Susswein said. “They did not, so they have been arrested.”

Shared Services is a plan to centralize the Univer-sity’s human resources, finance, information tech-nology and procurement services. The plan calls for the elimination of 500 po-sitions, which UT officials have said will primarily

With Austin Fashion Week beginning Thursday, the city will be brimming with in-novative new clothes, and, with the introduction of new looks, the dress of the past seems even more antiquated.

Today, UT students boast a wide range of personal styles — varying from over-sized T-shirts and Nike run-ning shorts for women to the more expressive attire that one might see on the run-way this week. Rarely will a student sacrifice overall comfort for style, and, if he does, it tends to be the excep-tion to the norm rather than the trend.

Such a relaxed clothing paradigm, however, was uncommon 50 years ago. In the Aug. 16, 1963, edi-tion of The Daily Texan, an article titled “Fashions Reveal the Collegian” sur-veyed a variety of clothing trends on campus. The ar-ticle, part of a special edi-tion welcoming incoming freshmen, reported that students were taking a more formal approach to-ward outfits in academia.

“Dress at the University can be described as casual for women and more for-mal for men, a reversal of the usual state of things,” the article said.

Some students, embrac-ing their newfound free-dom, chose to physically alter their appearance as an expression of liberation

The last few weeks of the semester are usually among the most stressful. Between final exams, projects, papers and presentations, students often feel overwhelmed as the semester winds down.

But, for junior linebacker Dalton Santos, academic stress is currently the least of his worries. Last Thurs-day, Santos’ mother, Mary Vista Santos, was rushed to an emergency room in Tyler. On Friday morn-ing, Santos was told that his mother had an aortic aneurysm and will need open heart surgery — news that took Santos some time to digest.

“Now it’s me looking at her,” Santos said. “She’s scared — the first time I’ve ever seen her scared, the first time I’ve ever seen her in a hospital bed.”

Santos’ mother is a single mom of three and her pro-cedure, which Santos said could cost approximately $150,000, won’t be covered by health insurance. To help get the money necessary for the procedure, Santos cre-ated a fundraising page and

reached out to his Twitter followers for assistance. As of Wednesday evening, over $41,000 had been pledged, shattering the page’s original goal of $5,000.

“It makes me tear up,”

Santos said. “It makes me feel good inside to know that people are looking af-ter my family and just try-ing to help us. It’s awesome. It’s overwhelming. I’m so thankful. I’m truly thankful

for it.”Texas’ compliance page

tweeted Monday that NCAA bylaw 16.11.1.8(g) permits the donations to Santos’ mother.

Since posting the link,

Santos said he frequently checks his mom’s page and is humbled by the positive responses every time he does so.

percent of its population in cities. The only way to be-come a developed country is to urbanize very quickly.”

According to Quadri, Mexican cities have also decreased in density by ex-panding to the point where many people spend several hours a day commuting to work, placing a drain on the social fabric of Mexico.

“Just imagine the life of these people who are using eight hours per day travel-ing — they arrive home at 11 p.m. and they have to get up at 4 a.m.,” Quadri said. “What kind of life is that? There’s no familial life. There’s no civic life. There’s no social life. Ev-eryone is stressed.”

Quadri said Mexico’s sprawling cities also affect the increased consump-tion of gasoline. Accord-ing to Quadri, Mexico has some of the lowest gas prices in the world, which, until

recently, were subsidized by the government.

“In 2012, the Mexican government used a slightly less budget for subsidizing gasoline than for public edu-cation,” Quadri said. “This is something obscene.”

Paloma De Leon Elias, di-rector of public relations for the association, said that by being from Reynosa, Mexico, a border city close to McAl-len, she has noticed what a problem the size of Mexican cities have become.

“I couldn’t agree more with Dr. Quadri when he men-tioned how cities are growing at an unsustainable rate,” De

Leon Elias said. “I believe it’s really important for us to [be aware] and to take different paths to develop different cit-ies, being that Mexico has a lot of large cities.”

Another sign of unsustain-able growth in Mexico — par-ticularly in the gulf — is the ar-ea’s depleting fish population, which is not being protected by law enforcement, according to Quadri.

“I thought what was most appalling was how they have so many resources in the ocean and no one to patrol it,” said Anthony Guerra, a government and journalism senior.

from parental subjection. The first section of the ar-ticle, titled “Blondes have more fun,” said: “College life is likely to go to the head of the newly enter-ing girl. With Mama far away in Pflugerville, the forbidden wares of the dye merchants cause many a coed to succumb, and it is the rare maiden’s tresses which aren’t at least tipped or frosted.”

Women’s clothing tended to be much more modest at the time of the

article’s publication. “Wear a raincoat over

your shorts if heading to the Women’s Gym,” the article said. “Other-wise save them for pic-nics and retreats. And though short shorts may be coming back in vogue nationally, they have never been in vogue with housemothers at women’s residence halls.”

For men, the dichotomy between now and then in terms of fashion is even more pronounced.

“Campus dress for males is usually very ivy: if jeans are worn at all, wheat jeans are preferred to blue jeans by most,” the article said. “Both solid colors and conservative prints are acceptable.”

Today, one might view the fashion trends of 1963 as old-fashioned. However, at the time, they seemed innovative and freeing.

“Coeds have become for footloose of late, break-ing the bonds of black suede loafers and white crew socks,” the article said. “These are still very popular, and the wise coed should have at least seven pairs of white socks — tops turned UP.”

Perhaps the most dif-ferent aspect of clothing between 1963 and to-day doesn’t even relate to fashion trends.

“The most important part of the wardrobe, con-sidering Austin weather, is rainwear,” the article said.

With only 83 rainy days per year, the “trenchcoats and black umbrellas” UT men carried in 1963 seem out of place.

Across UT, colleges have attempted to push students to acquire real-world experience in their areas of study by offering internship credit courses which allow students to receive credit toward their degrees. In theory, these courses allow students a two-for-one deal on their time spent interning, but for many students, the push to find an internship has become just another burdensome require-ment for graduation. Furthermore, offering course credit for internships disincentiv-izes some employers from paying student interns wages, a problem that, though beyond

the University’s domain, is exacerbated by UT policy.

Given these and other potential problems with offering course credit for internships, it may be time for programs at UT to rethink the way they incorporate work experience into their curricula.

An internship requirement equal to that of course credit creates a series of problems: In some colleges at UT, there is limited guid-ance or help for students to find legitimate in-ternships that satisfy the credit requirements and that provide students with rewarding experiences. And in certain programs, the requirement to complete an internship forc-es students to pay tuition to receive course credit for work when they should be the ones getting paid.

In the upcoming summer and fall semes-ters, the University will offer 96 and 104 in-ternship “courses” respectively, strictly for students seeking to claim internship credit.

Academic success is only part of what makes students successful after leaving cam-pus, and internships and work experience are crucial indicators of what to expect in a given field and in the workforce as a whole. Internships in particular are beneficial to

students planning to enter the many fields that require previous experience as a requisite for entry-level jobs.

Clearly the effort to have students leave UT with a minimum level of work experi-ence is reasonable and responsible for a campus that intends to have a meaningful impact on the world; however, the require-ment to complete an internship does not always work as an incentive in the way it was likely imagined. Motivated students will complete a number of internships without the University’s intervention, and the paltry one-internship requirement of some pro-grams is not aiding students’ experiences, especially when it attempts to shoehorn a work experience into the format of a tra-ditional class through written assignments graded by administrators who are removed from the students’ actual situation at the job site.

Internships are not, after all, the equiva-lent of class lectures or labs — they require little to no faculty involvement, which could justify the University’s charging for them. Considering all the work and effort needed just to gain internship credit, it is unfair for students to pay for an internship as if it were

another course on campus — especially if a summer internship means paying summer tuition for that credit alone. The University has made great strides in recent years in making a UT education more diverse and customizable. Many colleges across cam-pus provide more-than-adequate services to students seeking on-the-job experience while earning their degrees. Still, the Uni-versity could do more to make sure that all programs provide students easy access to course credit for internships that are both accessible and rewarding.

“I bleed burnt orange” is a cliche largely understood to be a metaphor, but thanks to a company specializing in college-themed fra-grances, it just became a little easier to try to achieve oneness with your university.

This week, the company Masik, which spe-cializes in collegiate perfumes and colognes, rolled out a new line of UT-themed scents. The line, named “Passionate, Triumphant and Strong,” comes in scents for both men and women. Some of the smells listed on the company product description page as hav-ing gone into the formulas are “aged bour-bon accord” in the men’s cologne and “skin musk” in the women’s perfume. It appears that Masik understands that hard liquor and body odor are two of the indispensable smells that define UT, particularly on game day. What’s more surprising is that UT is late to the party in licensing its name for a per-fume. Both the University of Oklahoma and Texas A&M University already have their own, and Masik has plans to expand its line to include namesake scents for other univer-sities in the future.

Anyone who’s been on the UT campus, or any other major public university campus for that matter, knows that collegiate brands are important. They’re distinctive, they help define the identity of the wearer and they represent an affiliation or value set to people who see it. A strong brand with a loyal con-tingent of consumers can be an attractive and valuable asset for the entity that owns it. According to figures released in January by the Wall Street Journal, UT is the most profitable college football franchise at $875 billion in net worth.

Although, increasingly, churning out branded merchandise leads to bizarre prod-ucts such as collegiate perfumes, it makes sense for UT to maximize the monetary value of not only the sports teams, but the Longhorn brand itself. It would behoove the administration to aggressively pursue this strategy, if it wasn’t clearly doing that already. The embrace of corporate sponsor-ship by college athletics teams has become a national norm, and the Longhorns are

leading the way in going even further. Ac-cording to a February article from the Hous-ton Chronicle, men’s athletics director Steve Patterson has proposed UT playing a football game in Mexico City. This model has proved hugely successful for other, admittedly more globally marketable, sports teams. The NBA started staging games internationally in 1978 and has since expanded the scope of these games to more than 20 countries and made these games a regular practice.

Thinking globally about UT and the Long-horn brand is the only way for Texas to re-main the financial juggernaut it has become. Expanding the brand abroad could more prominently feature the University to inter-national academic talent.

“Normally there would be an end for most brands,” marketing senior lecturer Stephen Walls said. “University athletic programs ap-pear to be a bit different in that people will buy anything with the logo. In fact, you can already buy UT-branded car mats. I would say that as long as the product doesn’t tar-nish the image of the university … then there probably is not much more of a limit.”

Increased branding for UT isn’t lacking in student support, either: a piece of legislation introduced to the Student Government as-sembly Tuesday supports the proliferation of branded material around UT campus, which the authors feel would “increase school spirit and to encourage a positive campus climate.”

Some people may protest that the inex-tricable tying of an educational institution with commercialism could raise conflicts of interest. But raising funds is one of the most essential functions of the University. One of President William Powers Jr.’s chief successes has been his ability to raise funds from the alumni community, bolstering the University’s balance sheet and national rankings. Extensive alumni and corporate fundraising efforts are now commonplace for every major school that runs on rela-tively unpredictable state funding. It is clear that UT stays competitive through its rais-ing of revenue, and sometimes the best way to raise revenue is to capitalize on brand loyalty and recognition.

These revenue-raising campaigns also serve to insulate the University from dev-astating budget cuts from state legislators. In 2011, in the wake of dismal budget pro-jections by the comptroller, the Legislature slashed higher education funding signifi-cantly. Although funding may have recov-ered somewhat since the recent oil boom, institutions that take state money seem to have learned a lesson about how fickle and unpredictable that money can be.

So while it may initially seem strange to introduce a fragrance to the market that bears a university’s name, it increasingly fits into a long-term funding strategy of contin-uously raising money. In a time of increasing financial pressure on public universities, the way to ensure that what starts here changes the world is to make sure that what starts here earns royalties, too.

HORNS DOWN: EVEN MORE PROBLEMS FOR JUVENILE JUSTICE

HORNS UP: UT CLINIC BRINGS ATTENTION TO PRISONER’S RIGHTS

Illustration by Albert Lee/ Daily Texan Staff

On Tuesday, the UT Human Rights Clinic released a report which identified high summer temperatures inside Texas prisons as a both a human rights violation and a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. Currently, 79 of the state’s 109 prisons lack air conditioning, and, although there have been no studies analyzing the potential cost,

officials claim that retrofitting the facilities with central air would be extremely expensive — which in no way excuses our prisons’ lack of this crucial utility. Prisoners’ rights are far too often ignored in our discourse, so horns up to the clinic for bringing much-needed attention to this issue.

Another blow was dealt to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department on Wednesday when it was announced that the agency was set to get its third director in a month. As The Texas Tribune reported, Linda Brooke, the agency’s current interim executive director, is leaving for a job in Fort Worth. Brooke could bereplaced by David Riley, chief juvenile probation officer for Bexar County. Last

month, State Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, blasted the agency for its inefficient spend-ing, high re-arrest and re-incarceration rates and a failure to sufficiently segregate violent offenders from nonviolent offenders. Given those problems, the agency is as in need of a strong and consistent leader as ever, making it even more of a disappointment that it doesn’t seem likely to get one anytime soon. Horns down to the revolving door of juvenile justice department directors.

According to The Texas Tribune on Tuesday, emissar-ies of Gov. Rick Perry offered to restore funding to the of-fice of embattled Travis County District Attorney Rose-mary Lehmberg if she resigned, even after his veto of the office’s funding was carried out. This, as The Texas Ob-server points out, clearly strengthens the case against the governor that is currently being considered by a grand

jury. Last April, Lehmberg was arrested for drunk driving. After her arrest and subsequent guilty plea that resulted in a 45-day jail sentence — an extremely harsh punishment for a first-time offender — Perry threatened to veto funding to Lehmberg’s Public Integrity Unit, an agency that prosecutes public corruption cases, if Lehmberg didn’t step down. Somewhat ironically, Perry is now under investigation by a grand jury for having potentially violated the criminal statute against “Bribery and Corrupt Influence.” The veto itself, according to Perry’s accusers, may not have violated law, but the fact that he threatened the veto very well could have. And now that reports have surfaced that Perry’s people may have offered to restore funding if Lehmberg resigns, the possibility that the governor may have violated the law is even stronger. While we certainly don’t condone Lehmberg’s drunk driving, horns down to a situation that is looking increasingly like an abuse of official power to achieve a political end.

HORNS DOWN: PERRY POTENTIALLY VIOLATED CRIMINAL LAW

Prisoners’ rights are far too often ignored in our discourse, so horns up to the clinic for bringing attention to the issue.

The statistics division will become its own depart-ment in August, allowing the University to recruit tenure-track professors and more doctoral students.

Currently, statistics profes-sors’ appointments are split between the statistics divi-sion and another UT depart-ment. Once statistics is its own department, professors can have a complete appoint-ment in statistics, allowing them to devote more time to the field.

The University established the division in 2007 as part of the College of Natural Sci-ences, responding to a need for more statistics courses and research. Both the field of statistics and the divi-sion have developed and ex-panded to the point at which administrators and faculty thought it was necessary to convert the division into a department.

“With the breadth of its course and programmatic offerings, and its rising stat-ure as a world-class research unit, [the division] has now matured to the point that it should transition into a full-fledged department,” department administrative manager Vicki Keller said. “Creating a department of statistics and data sciences is the natural next step.”

The change will allow the University to be ranked in national comparisons of statistics departments and recruit tenure-track faculty, according to Keller.

Statistics and math profes-sor Peter Mueller said one of the most significant changes is in the students and profes-sors the department will be able to bring in.

“Our abilities have changed in important practi-cal ways,” Mueller said. “As a division, we could not serve as tenure home to faculty. That was a handicap for re-cruiting the best tenure-track candidates. We now can and already did this year.”

Mueller said a dedicated department would also be more attractive to doctoral students, who often look for academic environments and programs where they will re-search as part of an academic community.

Statistics graduate student Daniel Mitchell said apart from moving offices, the change from a division to a department has not affected him because of the work the staff did to make the transi-tion into a department as seamless as possible. Mitch-ell said he prefers the change.

“Based on the assumption that a department has more resources available for stu-dents than a division, if con-sidering a Ph.D. program, I would favor a university with a department,” Mitchell said.

CAMPUS UNIVERSITY

Statistics division to expand to department

By Leila Ruiz@leilakristi

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is encouraging many nonvio-lent federal prisoners to ap-ply for early release, and is expecting thousands to take up the offer. It’s an effort to deal with high costs and overcrowding in prisons, and also a matter of fairness, the government says.

On Wednesday, the Jus-tice Department unveiled a revamped clemency process directed primarily at low-level felons imprisoned for at least 10 years who have clean records while in cus-tody. The effort is part of a broader administration push to scale back harsh penalties in some drug-related prosecutions and to address sentencing dispari-ties arising from the 1980s’ crack cocaine epidemic that yielded disproportionately tough punishment for black drug offenders.

Although the criteria ap-ply solely to federal inmates, states too are grappling with severe prison overcrowding. In Nebraska, for example, prisons were at 155 percent of capacity by the end of

March. And, in California, courts have ordered the state to reduce the inmate popula-tion to 137.5 percent of de-signed capacity, or 112,164 inmates in the 34 facilities, by February 2016.

The White House, some-times criticized for being too stingy with its clemency power, says it’s seeking more candidates for leniency in an overcrowded federal prison system whose costs comprise a sizable percentage of the Justice Department’s budget.

The system’s population has rocketed in recent de-cades, creating rising mul-tibillion-dollar expenses. The United States incarcer-ates about a quarter of the world’s prisoners. Of the roughly 216,000 inmates in federal custody, nearly half are imprisoned for drug-related crimes.

But officials say now’s the time to consider releasing more prisoners early.

Officials say they don’t know how many of the tens of thousands of drug-related convicts would be eligible for early release, but an ideal candidate would meet six

criteria, including no histo-ry of violence, a clean prison record and no ties to crimi-nal organizations or gangs. He must also have already served 10 years or more of his sentence and be likely to have received a substantially shorter offense if convicted of the same offense today.

The Bureau of Prisons will notify all inmates of the criteria next week and provide electronic surveys to those who think they deserve clemency.

The Justice Department expects the vast majority of applicants to be drug pris-oners but didn’t foreclose the possibility that inmates convicted of other crimes could be considered. The an-nouncement could shift at-tention to Congress, where there is pending legislation that would cut the length of many nonviolent drug sentences and give judges more discretion by expand-ing a safety-valve provision already on the books that allows a limited number of nonviolent drug offenders to avoid mandatory sentences.

Modern slavery is a grow-ing problem worldwide, ac-cording to Emma DeCaro, vice president of the Inter-national Justice Mission’s UT chapter.

The organization held an event Wednesday to encourage students to sign a petition against mod-ern slavery and to raise funds for and awareness of people who are endur-ing slavery. Last year, the Global Slavery Index esti-mated that nearly 30 mil-lion people are enslaved worldwide. The event, Stand for Freedom, started at Gregory Plaza at 11 a.m. and was scheduled to run for 24 hours.

DeCaro said slavery can

happen anywhere, taking the form of manual labor, sex trafficking and sweat-shop labor.

“There’s no country left untouched by this,” DeCaro said. “Even in Austin, the police depart-ment has an undercover human trafficking unit where they go and conduct raids, usually at massage parlors or where brothels are disguised.”

History professor Jac-queline Jones said she defines slavery to include people who are made to work against their will, people who are denied their rightful compen-sation and people who are prevented from con-tacting family or the authorities to rectify the situation.

“By that definition, slav-ery certainly exists today,” Jones said. “I think it is hidden from the middle class, who don’t see this kind of thing in the normal course of the day [because] it’s easy to exploit people when it is done in the shadows — for instance, in private homes, rural areas, brothels.”

Jones said the exploita-tion of cheap labor is a re-sult of companies focusing on maximizing profits at the expense of employees.

“It has to do with the quest to get cheap, exploit-able labor,” Jones said. “It’s a criminal enterprise, ob-viously, but I think it tells us a lot about where we are as a society. The Ameri-can consumer wants the cheapest possible [goods].

It is a reminder that peo-ple will go to great lengths to find the cheapest labor possible and to pay those labors as little as possible or nothing at all.”

Kara Rollins, manage-ment and youth and com-munity studies freshman, said she has heard personal stories about slavery and wants to help fight modern slavery.

“I know a lot of people don’t realize there are still slaves in the world,” Rollins said. “That’s just something that kind of hits close to home with me because I feel like I buy things and don’t really think about where they come from or who’s mak-ing it. So we need to raise awareness because it is a big deal.”

Panelists discussed the future of Texas politics at a forum hosted by the Polymathic Scholars Stu-dent Leadership Panel on Wednesday.

Matt Glazer, founder of the Glazer Group — a political organization in Travis County — said the values of Texans, whom he says are uninformed about their elected officials, dif-fer from opinions held by the Democratic and Republican parties.

“The Texas value sys-tem, from my personal belief, is about commu-nity and getting together to make solutions,” Glazer said. “I think that’s what a failure of the Texas Leg-islature has been. If you were to poll Texans, what they would say [is that] they don’t know their elected official, that the governor doesn’t speak for them or they don’t know how to trust that civics [has] made a difference in their life.”

Harris Media CEO Vin-cent Harris, who also ran the online operations for Gov. Rick Perry’s 2012 presidential campaign, said the advent of the In-ternet has significantly al-tered the financial cost of campaigning in Texas.

“People always say you have to have money to win

Texas because it’s a state of 26 million people, and it costs more than a mil-lion dollars a week to be on state-wide television,” Harris said. “I think that is changing. With the Inter-net, candidates like Wendy Davis, candidates like Ted Cruz, will be able to level the playing field in what has traditionally been a sort of insider game in the state when you have to have deep pockets.”

Harris said he thinks the Internet will help po-tential voters become more engaged in the candidates’ platforms.

Matt Mackowiak, who worked on the

Bush-Cheney campaign in 2004, said the Medicaid program holds local and national governments to different standards.

“The problem is states have to balance their bud-get, and the federal gov-ernment doesn’t,” Mack-owiak said. “If the cost ... for the state is not guar-anteed for the future, then the current legislature, the current governor, are tak-ing on a long-term cost for the state.”

Emmanuel Garcia, com-munications director for the Texas Democratic Party, said the party sup-ports the Medicaid expan-sion because it improves

health care. “Medicaid expansion

was going to bring 230,000 jobs around $50,000 av-erage salary, incredible movement in the health care issue,” Garcia said.

Garcia said Attorney General Greg Abbott’s La-tino outreach program isn’t as effective as it should be.

“[Abbott] was going to Mexican restaurants and he went [to] one Mexican restaurant and you know who he showed up with? Ted Nugent.” Garcia said. “That was Austin Latino outreach — a guy who said he would shoot people at the border. Awesome La-tino outreach program.”

NEW YORK — States should face economic compe-tition from each other because it pushes them to make sure their business environments are as strong as possible, Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, said Wednesday as he met with business owners in New York City and encouraged them to consider moving to his state.

Perry was pushing the premise that the business environment was better in Texas, an idea he has pro-moted in New York before as well as in other states such as California.

The day before, he also had challenged Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., to a debate on economic policies, to which Cuomo said Wednes-day: “I don’t think so.”

Perry declined to say what companies he met with Wednesday at a Manhat-tan restaurant and whether any were moving to his state. When asked, his office provided a list of 27 New York companies that had expanded, built new facili-ties or relocated into Texas since 2005.

Perry said other states, such as Louisiana and Flor-ida, try to lure away Texas businesses, which keeps him on his toes.

Perry was also counter-ing Cuomo’s latest initiative to lure businesses from out of state.

Cuomo’s $100 million Start-Up NY initiative, which allows businesses that locate near college campuses to op-erate tax-free for 10 years, is being touted in TV commer-cials playing in Texas.

Texas has also bought promotional airtime in New York in recent years.

During a radio interview with New York Post colum-nist Fred Dicker on Tues-day, Perry said he would like to debate Cuomo over economic policies.

“I’d be more than happy to sit down and have a thought-ful conversation, a debate with Gov. Cuomo over the issues that face us as a state and talk about the economic policies and compare New York to Texas,” Perry said.

With potential presiden-tial runs in 2016 for both Perry and Cuomo, Perry told Dicker he would wait until next year to make a decision.

“A little free advice for Rick Perry: the fewer debates with anyone, the better. Oops,” a spokesman for the Demo-cratic Governors Association said in an email.

It included a link to a video of Perry during the Re-publican Presidential Debate in 2011 when he forgot the name of the third agency he would eliminate if he were to become president.

CITY

CAMPUS

As Austin housing prices and traffic congestion con-tinue to rise, students are finding life less affordable — a problem a panel of city of-ficials and community lead-ers discussed candidly with students on campus Tuesday.

“Obviously we are a very rapidly growing city and we have ever-growing con-gestion, and really there’s not that much we can do to make congestion go away,” city councilman Chris Riley said. “As long as we’re an ac-tive and thriving city we’re going to be dealing with congestion. But we can do a lot more to provide good options.”

Austin Police Depart-ment officer Tim Harvey said another problem with the rapid growth of Austin is

that people, particularly stu-dents living in West Cam-pus, leave themselves open to opportunistic crimes, such as car and bike thefts, by overestimating the safety of their environment. Ac-cording to Harvey, students must be more cautious, es-pecially when intoxicated.

“Austin has tried to hold onto this small town feel for a long time, and it’s no lon-ger a small town,” Harvey said. “It’s one of the largest and fastest growing cities in the country. With that, we’ve felt a lot of prosperity, but there are a few bad issues that go along with it. When population grows, the good grows with the bad.”

Jonathan Tomko, senior research analyst for the city’s Planning, Policy and Outreach division, said be-cause Austin’s growth causes housing prices to rise, his

office is looking at ways to inform policy in order to increase the housing supply.

Tomko’s office works on developer incentives and policies to provide cheap-er housing options, such as the Downtown Den-sity Bonus Program, which provides incentives to de-velopers constructing af-fordable housing. His office also oversees the University Neighborhood Overlay, a plan to increase housing options within walking dis-tance of UT.

“We’re seeing a lot of in-crease in rents, and a need for affordable housing across the spectrum,” Tom-ko said. “The city has a spec-trum to look at housing in different categories, all the way from those in precari-ous housing or are homeless to those that are trying to be first-time home buyers. So

there are different types of housing and there’s different types of opportunities and we’re seeing gaps in pretty much every category within the spectrum.”

Willie Cecil, CapMetro community involvement specialist, said students should contact city officials involved in issues they think are relevant to the commu-nity, whether it is transpor-tation, housing or some-thing else, in order to voice their concerns and become more informed.

“You’ll learn something about it and you’ll also be able to help shape it,” Cecil said. “Especially with some-thing as important as trans-portation, y’all could help affect what lines go where. Y’all just need to show up and tell people where you need to go and where they’re needed.”

Kathy Willens / Associated PressTexas Gov. Rick Perry speaks to the media after meeting with business owners Wednesday in New York.

Perry pushes Texas as strong business setting

PROTESTcontinues from page 1take place through attrition and retirement. The com-mittee is now moving for-ward with pilot versions of the plan in the College of Education and the Office of the Provost.

The sit-in was live-streamed online, and stu-dents took turns talking about their concerns with the University’s efforts to improve efficiency. After the protesters began chant-ing, Dean of Students Soncia Reagins-Lilly warned them to lower their voices and said they would be arrested if they stayed at Powers’ office past 5 p.m. Of the 19 protest-ers, only one left.

Plan II Honors junior Bi-anca Hinz-Foley, a represen-tative of the protesters, said the coalition members want-ed more dialogue with UT administrators. Hinz-Foley and a group of roughly 20 coalition members also held a demonstration in front of Powers’ office on April 3, though Powers was not in his office at the time.

“Students are sharing sto-ries, and I think we’re all com-mitted to stay until President Powers hears us out,” Hinz-Foley said. “We’re prepared to stay as long as it takes.”

Geography senior Sydney Dwoskin, another protester, said she felt the sit-in was an important component of stu-dents’ efforts to halt Shared Services’ implementation.

“At this point, we feel we have no other choice,” Dwoskin said. “We’re not go-ing to leave till we get Shared Services cut.”

In a speech at the rally before the protest, Faculty Council member Dana Cloud, associate communi-cation studies professor, said she believes reports of the University being short on money are false.

“The administration has been somewhat on the ropes and has started to spin the situation of Shared Services, and our speakers will speak

to kind of the mystification going around: That it’s not so bad, that we’ve listened to people, that we’ve adjusted according to input,” said Cloud, who is also a mem-ber of the Save Our Com-munity Coalition. “I think [the protesters’] presence here today shows that’s pretty much bullshit.”

In an interview with The Daily Texan last month, Kev-in Hegarty, vice president and chief financial officer, said he believes opponents of the plan do not under-stand that the University’s current business model is unsustainable.

“We’re getting starved on the academic end for dollars to hire teachers and retain people,” Hegarty said.

Protestors also referenced the University’s involvement with Accenture, a consult-ing firm the University paid more than $4 million to col-lect data for the Shared Ser-vices Steering Committee. Accenture’s contract with UT ended in February.

More than 100 faculty members signed a letter op-posing Shared Services and submitted it to Powers earlier this month.

In April 2012, a nearly identical incident, involv-ing members of the Make UT Sweatshop-Free Coali-tion, also led to 18 arrests. The members hosted a sit-in outside of Powers’ office, were told to leave by 5 p.m., declined to do so and were charged with criminal tres-passing. In this case, mem-bers — some of whom were also arrested Wednesday, in-cluding Hinz-Foley — want-ed the University to cooper-ate with the Worker Rights Consortium, an independent monitoring organization, when producing apparel.

concerns in several different conversations with several different members of the ex-ecutive board and the none of the legislation changed. That’s where I drew the line and said progress isn’t being made and I can’t support it.”

The House Select Com-mittee on Transparency in State Agency Operations has investigated Hall since July 2013 for potentially overstepping his duties as a regent. Earlier this month, the final report from the special counsel to the com-mittee indicated Hall likely committed impeachable

offenses during his time as regent.

Cavazos said he would con-sider supporting the legisla-tion again if it were reworded.

Although the resolution was tabled, the SG executive board signed a letter calling for Hall’s resignation.

SG President Kori Rady said he thinks Hall’s actions

have disrupted the daily op-erations of the University.

Seven former student leaders, including former Senate presidents, issued a similar letter Wednesday.

“It is time to end the ‘witch hunt’ against President Pow-ers and UT-Austin,” the letter said. “It is time you step down from your position as regent.”

Given David Holiner’s obvious passion for ten-nis and the senior’s illus-trious career at Texas, it’s hard to believe that when he first picked up a racket he wanted nothing to do with the sport.

Holiner first started play-ing at the age of 6, when his mother would drive him to his local Jewish community center in Dallas and force him onto the court.

“I hated tennis at first,” Holiner said. “But my mom made me keep playing.”

In a sport where many kids start competing be-fore they even enter pre-K, Holiner’s detest for the game at an early age could have put him at a major disadvantage.

After struggling for years to enjoy playing singles, Holiner found his

For the class of 2014, Texas sports fell short

You’re almost there, class of 2014.

In less than a month you’ll stand in front of the Tower and watch the building light up with the most spectacular “2014” you’ll ever see.

It’s a time to celebrate and reflect back on your best col-lege moments: weekend nights spewing into morn-ings, evenings spent talking about nothing with friends and maybe even a class or two. But it’s a safe bet neither you nor I, a fellow 2014 graduate, will give much pause to Texas athletics — those memories are too painful.

Hopes were so high when we came to the 40 Acres. The foot-ball team had just lost in the national championship game. But a laser-armed quarterback, Garrett Gilbert, had almost top-pled Alabama in place of Colt McCoy and was expected to continue Texas’ recent sterling quarterback tradition.

Instead, Gilbert led the Longhorns to a 5-7 record in 2010, the team’s worst finish since 1997 and the only los-ing record in the Mack Brown era. It’s hard to place all of the blame on Gilbert; entitlement had a lot to do with the strug-gles, but he became the symbol

of Texas’ issues.The next three seasons didn’t

improve much for Longhorn football. Texas maxed out at nine wins and Brown stepped down after the 2013 season. There were a few highs — the Longhorns upsetting Okla-homa last season was a trium-phant moment for seniors, as was sending A&M off with a loss in 2011. But defensive meltdowns and Case McCoy’s interceptions far outweigh the fleeting positives.

Heartbreak defines our fall experience.

The men’s basketball team didn’t provide much relief in the spring. Freshman year, Tex-as reached No. 1 in the coun-try, only to nosedive to a sec-ond-round exit in the NCAA tournament. And that season still serves as the peak of our basketball experience.

Potential program stars Myck Kabongo, Cory Joseph and Tristan Thompson all left early, spurning the possibility of extended success. Texas even missed the tournament in 2013 for the first time under Rick Barnes in his 15 years at Texas.

Other sports have found success during our time in Aus-tin. Men’s swimming and div-ing, volleyball and men’s golf all won a national championship over the last four years. Both

Overlooked safety recruit could be keyThose glancing through

Texas’ 2014 class may be quick to dismiss South Grand Prairie’s Jason Hall. After all, ESPN has him as only the 85th best safety in his class, and at the bottom of the list for Texas’ 2014 signees.

Despite being under the ra-dar in his ratings, Hall began

receiving significant inter-est in the spring of 2013, just a few months after his first season on varsity.

“I think Jason was a little surprised when he got his first offer, quite honestly, because he was under the radar,” said Brent Whitson, South Grand Prairie’s head coach. “He was a seven- or eight-game starter his junior year after playing ju-nior varsity as a sophomore, so

it all happened so fast for him.” Hall’s first offer came in

April 2013, and it’s a mo-ment Whitson said he will always remember.

“I’ll never forget when I got to tell him the news that Nebraska offered him a scholarship,” Whitson said. “He gave me a big old hug, tears in his eyes, and here you saw that dream come true for him.”

Hall committed to Ne-braska that May. But as his offer list grew larger to in-clude Baylor, Oklahoma and Iowa, he became increasingly unsure of where he would end up. In June, Hall visited Texas’ mini-camp where he received an offer.

TODAY IN HISTORY

1974The NFL grants franchise to Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Texas trailed 6-4 in the sixth inning of Wednes-day night’s game against Texas State in San Marcos.

But then the offense delivered. Then delivered again. Then delivered some more.

The Longhorns poured in 11 runs in the inning to take a commanding 15-6 lead, leading to a six-in-ning run rule.

Texas, in its seventh straight road game, im-proved to 28-18 on the season following the win. With the loss, Texas State fell to 22-27 on the sea-son, having lost five of its last six matchups.

Texas jumped out to an early lead with three runs in the second in-ning off two hits and one Bobcat error. Texas State responded with five runs of its own in the follow-ing frame to take the lead, 5-3. Each team added a run in the fourth inning

before Texas broke it open in the top of the sixth with 11 runs on eight hits to se-cure the victory.

Senior catcher Mandy Ogle doubled to right field to score freshman outfielder Stephanie Wong and even the game at six apiece. Freshman shortstop Devon Tun-ning followed up with a single to score sophomore first baseman Holly Kern before senior outfielder Brejae Washington tri-pled down the right field line to put the game out of reach. She would later come around to score on an illegal pitch — one of several unearned runs for the Longhorns.

Kern had a stellar per-formance at the plate, going 3-for-5 with three runs scored and one RBI. She led the Longhorns offensively. Washington continued what has been an impressive season thus far, adding two more RBIs and two more runs scored to stay atop the team

leaderboard in both categories.

Head coach Connie Clark elected to go to the bullpen early with fresh-man Tiarra Davis strug-gling. She gave up four earned runs in 2.1 innings. Junior Gabby Smith came in and picked up her 12th win of the season, allow-ing just one earned run on two hits while striking out five over 3.2 innings of work. Texas State’s senior pitcher Rayn House took the loss after surrender-ing 10 hits and five earned runs and fanning only two.

Texas improved its re-cord in road games this season to 11-2 and hopes to carry the momentum into Friday’s matchup against conference oppo-nent Oklahoma State.

Tracy McGrady makes the Sugarland Skeeters

SUGAR LAND, Texas — Former NBA star Tracy Mc-Grady signed Wednesday to pitch for the Sugar Land Skeeters in the independent Atlantic League.

“It’s an honor to be a part of this club,” McGrady said in a statement released by the team. “To be a part of the team means everything to me, and it’s a dream come true. I look forward to com-ing to the ballpark not only to play the game but to be in the clubhouse building ca-maraderie with these guys. I am excited to start the journey we’re going to take this season.”

The 6-foot-8-inch right-hander officially reported to spring camp last week and made his first scrim-mage game appearance against Alvin Commu-nity College on April 16. In an inning of work, Mc-Grady allowed one run on three hits with no walks and no strikeouts.

“We are excited about our team this season and having Tracy McGrady as a part of it,” Skeeters manager Gary Gaetti said. “We’re also excited to see what unique opportunities this could present for us in putting a good product on the field, and we look for-ward to Tracy helping us win some ball games.”

The 34-year-old Mc-Grady spent 16 years in the NBA with the To-ronto Raptors, Orlando Magic, Houston Rock-ets, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons and At-lanta Hawks. The sev-en-time All-Star won two scoring titles.

TONIGHT

Honoring former University of Texas Chancellor Harry Huntt Ransom, the Harry Ransom lectures bring internationally renowned writers, artists, and scholars to austin for a public event and conversations with University students. sponsored by the University Co-op (www.universitycoop.com).

Since the Texas Relays, the Longhorns have domi-nated their competition, with the men and women winning their respective divisions at the Texas In-vitational and taking home 16 individual titles at the Michael Johnson Classic. The Penn Relays, which take place from Thurs-day to Saturday of this week, will provide elite competition to challenge the Longhorns’ recent string of dominance.

The women already have a strong contingent of runners virtually guar-anteed spots in the NCAA West Regional meet, but the competition at the Penn Relays could drive some of the fringe athletes over the threshold and place more athletes in the qualifying meet.

Graduate student Olivia Mickle, a distance runner, is one of the athletes who could benefit from a strong showing in Pennsylvania. Mickle has been on head coach Mario Sategna’s ra-dar all season, and cur-rently sits with the seventh best 10,000-meter time in the nation. A strong performance in the 5,000

meter could land her in another event and provide some more competition for senior middle distance runner Marielle Hall, who leads the 5,000-meter field.

On the men’s side, the athletes to watch are a pair of freshmen jumpers hoping to make it to the

outdoor NCAA West Re-gional meet in their first attempt. Logan Brit-tain is currently ranked 53rd in the nation for the high jump with a mark of 6-10 3/4 inches, and he could jump his way into the regional meet with a good showing this week.

Freshman jumper Nick Phynn is competing in both the triple jump and the long jump this weekend. He is ranked 58th in the nation in the long jump with a mark of 49-6 1/2, and he is ranked 87th in the long jump with a leap of 23-10 3/4. Phynn will have a chance to move

both marks into qualifying range this weekend.

The Penn Relays will be the last time for the Long-horns to compete against strong competition before the postseason, as only one home meet remains between Texas and the Big 12 Championships.

WOMEN’S TRACK & FIELD

Jenna VonHofe / Daily Texan StaffGraduate student distance runner Olivia Mickle will lead the Longhorns into the Penn Relays on Thursday with the seventh best 10,000-meter time in the nation. This will be the last competition against strong competition for Texas before the postseason.

Texas looks to build on recent momentum

of the month weighting his options. It wasn’t clear which school would land him until he made an-other trip to Austin for the ‘Texas Stampede” in late July. Hall seemed to fall in love with the city of Aus-tin during the visit, and he made his commitment that weekend.

“Being around the foot-ball program and actu-ally seeing the social life of Austin area was pretty good,” Hall said. “And I just loved it, and I said to my-self, ‘This is something I want to be a part of.’”

Texas’ tumultuous 2013 campaign ended with the resignation of coach Mack Brown on Dec. 14, 2013, which, coincidently, was in the midst of Hall’s of-ficial Texas visit. Rumors swirled about Texas’ next coach, which may have put Hall’s future in Austin in jeopardy. But, when Texas hired head coach Charlie Strong, Hall didn’t waver on his commitment.

“I was a fan of Louis-ville and Florida in the [Sugar] Bowl game be-cause I love both teams and how they played,” Hall said. “So, when I found out that coach Strong came to Texas, I was more committed than I was with Mack Brown.”

With Strong came a list of changes in the coach-ing staff, including bring-ing in former Texas All-Southwest defensive back Vance Bedford as defen-sive coordinator. Hall said it’s exciting to be able to learn from Bedford.

“It gives us that much more of an advantage,” Hall said. “He knows what expectations should be brought to the Univer-sity of Texas, so we know not to settle for anything less than greatness.”

Whitson sees Hall as a football player who could make a difference early for the Longhorns, despite his low ratings.

“I think Jason is very un-dervalued,” Whitson said, “Because of his maturity, he is a developed, six-three-and-a-half, 195-pound kid that can run, [and] that’s why I think he can contribute this fall.”

Regardless of his im-mediate impact, Hall pro-vides Texas with needed depth at the safety posi-tion and could develop into a valuable player.

baseball and softball have appeared in the College World Series.

None of those sports can cure the insuffer-able misery caused by football, though.

And, sure, the Eyes of Texas is great fun, school spirit all around. Going to games is al-ways enjoyable, yell-ing for three hours with 100,000 of your closest friends. And, of course, “OU still sucks.”

But mostly, it’s been painful.

Texas will be back to na-tional prominence, soon, I’m sure. But, for the cur-rent crop of seniors, sports success proved more prob-lematic than going to a Friday afternoon class.

The Class of 2014 will forever remain loyal to the Longhorns. We just wish there had been a few more wins.

niche as a doubles player. Having a teammate was just the motivation he needed. The Dallas na-tive began to finally enjoy playing the game.

Little did Holiner know that his time at Texas would follow a very similar trend.

As a freshman, Holiner struggled to find a balance between tennis, academ-ics and a social life, and he found himself struggling to enjoy the sport once again.

But, just as he had grown to love the game in his early years, Holiner grew more comfortable with college life and developed strong relationships with several of his teammates.

“Although it took a while to adjust, these guys have become my best friends,” Holiner said. “I cher-ish every moment, and, looking back, it’s sad

because I wont be here, but I know I will keep in con-tact with all of them. They are a big part of my life.”

And his greatest mem-ory at Texas? The same thing that revived his ten-nis career as a youngster: playing doubles.

Holiner and his doubles partner, Chris Cammil-lone, beat the number-one team in the country last season. They made it to the finals in the NCAA tournament and were named All-Americans.

Now, as the team captain in his final season, Holiner says what he has learned as a student-athlete at the Uni-versity of Texas will stick with him forever.

“Being the team captain and a student-athlete, you basically have a job and lots of respon-sibility,” Holiner said. “With every decision you make, you

have to keep in mind that you are representing [Texas] at all times. It’s made me mature.”

Just like so many other col-lege students, Holiner isn’t exactly sure what he wants to do after he graduates. After graduation, he plans to get his real estate license and travel the world. But, as an elite ath-lete, he still has aspirations of going pro and pursuing a career in tennis.

“I have many options,” Holiner said. “I am not quite sure of where the sport will take me.”

No matter what he chooses to do, Holiner knows that he’s going to miss the experiences he’s had at Texas.

“I’m going to miss the group of guys and being with all my friends every day,” Holiner said. “The family atmosphere that UT provides and the many relationships and friendships I’ve made will all be missed.”

OAKLAND, Calif. — With the Texas rotation ravaged by injuries early in the season, Martin Perez has more than filled the void.

Perez pitched his second consecutive shutout to extend his scoreless innings streak to 26, and the Texas Rang-ers wrapped up a three-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics with a 3-0 victory Wednesday.

“He’s been the glue,” manag-er Ron Washington said. “He’s held it together. He’s the one guy in that rotation who’s been in it from last year who hasn’t had a blip yet.”

The Rangers have been without Yu Darvish, Matt Har-rison and Colby Lewis at times this season but find themselves in first place, thanks to strong play from fill-ins and major improvement from Perez.

Perez (4-0) outpitched Son-ny Gray (3-1) in a heralded matchup of emerging stars, al-lowing just three hits and two walks in his first start since throwing a three-hitter against the White Sox for his first career shutout.

“I don’t want to think too much about my ERA and the games that I’ve thrown be-fore,” Perez said. “I’m going to focus on my game today. We had a great game.”

Perez, who also threw eight scoreless innings against Houston on April 13, is the first Rangers pitcher to have three straight scoreless starts since Kenny Rogers had four

straight over 30 innings in 2005. Perez also joined Char-lie Hough in 1983 as the only Texas pitchers to have three straight starts of at least eight scoreless innings.

“He knows how to pitch,” Washington said. “He has weapons, and he can throw them all for strikes and he has poise. He does a great job of staying with the game plan, and that’s something that he’s learned from last year — how to study, how to go out there and just execute his pitches.”

Donnie Murphy homered and Michael Choice scored one run and drove in another for the Rangers, who moved a half-game ahead of Oakland in the AL West with their first sweep of the A’s since August 2011.

The A’s never even threat-ened Perez on their way to get-ting swept at home for the first time since September 2012 against the Angels, ending a streak of 32 straight home se-ries with at least one win.

“You’re going to have your little lumps in the road,” A’s third baseman Josh Donaldson said. “Everybody knows that here. We just have to come back.”

Oakland got leadoff singles from Jed Lowrie in the fourth and Derek Norris in the fifth for its first two hits off Perez. But Perez followed each of those hits by getting the next batter to hit into a double play, giving him a major league-leading 11 groundball double plays.

Donaldson doubled with

one out in the seventh but was stranded there when Alberto Callaspo grounded out with runners on first and second to end the inning.

“He keeps the ball off the barrel of the bat,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said. “He’s pitched really well this year. The rea-son he can get deep in games is he’s not striking a lot of guys out. He’s just keeping it off the barrel of the bat.”

Gray allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings to end a six-game winning streak in the regular season dating to last September.

He fell behind when Choice led the game off with a walk and scored on Alex Rios’ triple. The Rangers were poised for a possible big inning when Rios was originally ruled safe at home on a grounder Lowrie at shortstop. But Melvin chal-lenged the call, and Rios was ruled out on instant replay.

Choice, traded from Oak-land to Texas in the offseason, added an RBI single in the fifth, and Murphy hit his first homer of the season in the sixth to make it 3-0.

NOTES: Rangers 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff was held out with a sore back. … Scott Kazmir (2-0) will take the mound against Brett Oberholtzer (0-3) on Thursday when Oakland opens a four-game series in Houston. … Texas begins a three-game series in Seattle on Friday.

“And it’s hard, it is. It’s hard on everybody. It’s hard on my family. But the support that I’ve had in the last two days is un-believable,” Santos said. “It kind of breaks me up inside to see how many people really, really care, and how what I do on Saturdays and everything makes a difference.”

Rangers complete road sweep, take division lead from Oakland

SAN ANTONIO — Monta Ellis scored 21 points and the Dallas Mavericks rolled to a 113-92 victory over San Antonio on Wednesday night, snapping a 10-game skid against the Spurs and evening their first-round series at a game apiece.

Shawn Marion scored 20 points, Dirk Nowitzki added 16, Devin Harris had 18 and Jose Calderon 12 for Dallas, which never trailed after the opening minutes of the second quarter.

Manu Ginobili had 27 points, Tony Parker added 12 and Tim Duncan 11 for the Spurs.

Dallas didn’t relent in Game 2 after blowing a 10-point lead in the final eight minutes of the series opener. San Antonio’s in-eptness had as much to do with tying the series, however. The

Spurs averaged 14.4 turnovers during the regular season, but had 15 with 3 minutes left in the first half. They finished with 22 turnovers, which resulted in 33 points for the Mavericks.

Dallas was extremely physical in the first half whenever Parker and Ginobili drove the lane, much to San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich’s dismay when no fouls were called — not that it mattered when they were. San Antonio finished 18 for 29 on free throws.

The Mavericks attacked the basket with the same intensity, finishing with 44 points. San Antonio pulled within 61-56 with 8:38 remaining in the third quarter, but it was the closest it would get in the half.

McClintock Effect would have profound implications.

Unfortunately, attempts to replicate her results have been inconsistent and, also, a bit strange. Several studies used protocol that involved placing auxiliary extract, or a donor’s armpit sweat, un-derneath subjects’ noses. One study looked at female bas-ketball players, noting the ex-citing notion of studying “not only a group of women but a group of perspiring women.” Despite these numerous at-tempts, there’s no strong sense of consistency in the research. In fact, several stud-ies provide completely con-tradictory results. A search of the literature reveals one paper, “Menstrual Synchro-ny in Female Couples,” and another titled “No Evidence for Menstrual Synchrony in Female Couples.”

This inconsistency sup-ports the null hypothesis that the McClintock Effect is a statistical artifact, a

result of experimental bias or poor protocol and not a real phenomenon. If the average menstrual cycle is 30 days with menses lasting for five of them, there’s a 33 percent chance that any two wom-en could have periods that would overlap during any given month. McClintock didn’t look for overlap to confirm her effect but, rather, simply looked for the dates between onsets to reduce over several months.

A paper published in 1992 looked at the multiple repli-cation studies, in addition to McClintock’s original, and pointed out several errors. Among the most egregious was that, in the experiments with positive results, some subjects left the experiment early because of irregular cy-cles. With the small sample sizes involved in the trials, a few people dropping out could make a huge difference in the end result, especially if they left for reasons directly related to their periods.

McClintock still stands behind her pet theory, but

with a few changes. She ad-mits that menstrual synchro-ny is certainly a myth and described several misconcep-tions in a 1998 paper.

In picking apart the myth, however, she clouds the def-inition of what it is that she’s defending and notes that synchrony is not the only possible outcome of women living together.

“Some groups did indeed increase synchrony level,” McClintock said. “Other groups actually became more asynchronous. Moreover, some groups maintained ex-actly the same phase relation-ship over many cycles.”

In other words, any possible outcome potentially supports the McClintock Effect.

McClintock hasn’t met the burden of proof re-quired to accept men-strual synchrony or even produced a falsifiable hy-pothesis describing it.

As for the bigger question of human pheromones, research suggests that their existence is likely, but not quite verifiable. There are studies supporting

the idea, except many of them aren’t well controlled and some of them are very odd. In one study, researchers gave men a urine sample and asked them to guess the gender us-ing their sense of smell. They found that men were better able to do so when the woman who produced the sample was closer to ovulation, although there are plenty of reasons to question the reliability of this study.

Human sexuality is com-plicated, and pheromones do probably play a role in it, but so do visual, audio and tactile stimuli, as well as fantasy and imagination. Hormones are very much affected by the environment we’re living in and so, too, are menstrual cycles, which can be delayed as a result of breast-feeding, stress or weight loss, among other factors. It’s not completely implausible that the people we surround ourselves with can also affect when periods occur. But, as of right now, the evidence doesn’t support that conclusion.

had no business sense. I was terrible with money,” Kelland said.

Kelland kept motorcy-cles his full -time hobby. After he moved to Aus-tin, he started working on bikes out of his home, and, when customer demand grew too high, he decided to open up a shop.

“It’s sort of a battle, the older these bikes get,” Kelland said. “To repair these things properly you would have to spend

a fortune, so we try and just make them run as best as they can without replacing everything.”

Elijah Reese works along-side Kelland at Limey’s, and the two spend six days a week in the small lime green space.

“When Chris first opened, I had him clean-ing carbs for me, and then I started doing frames and welding for him, and it kind of progressed from there,” Reese said.

Limey’s has been in business for four years now and serves cus-tomers that range from

longtime motorcycle collectors to young col-lege students who pur-chased their first bikes through Craigslist.

Le Brown started com-ing to Limey’s three years ago and has had two of his Hondas re-paired and maintained by Kelland.

“He’s a know-it-all that happens to, in fact, know it all. Even his competitors admire him,” Brown said. “He brought my bikes back to life.”

Kelland’s interest in working exclusively on

older bikes has some emotional ties.

“I think, honestly, if the desire for vintage mo-torcycles disappeared completely, I think I’d be finished,” Kelland said. “I just have no passion for new motorcycles.”

Kelland is not much of a rider, and instead focuses on repairs, or what he calls “turd-polishing.”

“It’s a feeling. It’s really hard to explain,” Kelland said. “I’m just a mechanic. I like making these old ma-chines live again, and that’s really why I do it.”

The Asian American Cul-tural Center, in collaboration with the Asian American Community Partnership, has organized the races in Austin for 16 years now.

“Austin has a growing Asian-American popula-tion and we wanted to make our contribution to Austin’s diversity and showcase our cultural heritage,” said Amy Wong Mok, president and CEO of the Asian American Cultural Center.

Before the races, a tra-ditional ceremony known as “Dotting the Eyes of the Dragon” is performed to com-memorate the occasion.

“Traditionally, the dragon boats are buried under the sand,” Mok said. “Before the start of the race, we take out the boat and decorate it. The dignitaries will put the ‘eyes,’ using ink, some water and even earth, on the dragon. We believe the dragon was sleeping all this time, and when you give them the eyes, they have the eyes to fly on the water.”

Tiger Wu, electrical engi-neering junior and captain of the Chinese Students Asso-ciation dragon boat team, said winning the 500-meter race is all about endurance, tech-nique and synchronization.

“Not a lot of people like to paddle or row when they have spare time,” Wu said. “It’s different when you are paddling and there’s a lot of stress on your back and your shoulders.”

Wu’s team has been practic-ing for an hour every Sunday at Lady Bird Lake for the past five weeks. One missed beat can make or break the team’s chances of winning a race.

“If someone in the front is getting tired and is not doing what they should be doing, it makes the timing go wrong for everyone on the boat,” Wu said.

For Wu, the adrenaline rush makes all the effort worth it.

“It’s most rewarding for me when I see families come to-gether to celebrate this festi-val,” Mok said. ”I feel proud to see the children from different Asian countries promoting and showcasing their heritage and culture.”

12 L&A

In 1971, Martha Mc-Clintock published a pilot study in Nature science jour-nal as a sole author. This is an impressive feat, even for

tenured professors, but she pulled it off as an undergradu-ate. The subject of her re-search? Menstrual synchrony, or the alleged synchronization of women’s menstrual cycles after living in close proximity to one another.

The “McClintock Effect” suggests that human phero-mones are a reality and that hormones can be regulated purely by proximity, poten-tially leading the way to con-traceptives or fertility treat-ments that work via scent alone. If confirmed, this

The sound of revving mo-torcyle engines can be heard in a small alley off of Old Koenig Lane. Old Yama-has, Hondas and other two-wheeled vehicles are often seen trailing up and down the street after coming out of a small motorcycle shop called Limey’s, where own-er Chris Kelland specializes in repairing and building old vintage ’60s and ’70s Japanese motorcycles.

“We stick rigidly to the ‘nothing after 1980’ thing for the simple reason that, when you try to do every-thing, you’ll never be good at anything,” Kelland said.

Limey’s is filled with hap-hazardly placed spare parts and a general sense of cha-os, set against the back drop of the shop’s bright, lime green painted walls.

Kelland’s work is reclu-sive, and on any given day he can be seen wearing a black T-shirt, black jeans and black boots to accompany his grease-covered fingers. The next thing to note is Kelland’s accent.

Originally from South-east London, Kelland has been in Austin for about 10 years. He drinks 12 cups of tea a day and occasionally reverts to British jargon. He said the name of the shop was inspired by what Americans called the Brit-ish soldiers sailing to the United States during the Revolutionary War.

“I started specializing

in British stuff, and then I discovered the Yamaha 650 twin,” Kelland said. “It was as close as I could get to a British bike, only without all the problems British bikes have.”

Kelland first moved to Austin to work as a pre-press consultant. He cali-brated printing machines and specialized in making the colors that are printed out match the colors that appeared on the screen. He calibrated the sys-tems for UT’s print divi-sion and gave seminars on color to students at Austin Community College.

After his first year in Austin, Kelland won 12 awards for his work in col-or printing at the Printing Images Awards.

“It’s rare for an English person to say they’re good at something, but I was re-ally good,” Kelland said.

Although Kelland had been in the printing indus-try since he was 15 and had become renowned for his work, the general apathy in the field discouraged him from continuing.

“I wanted to do what I do as best as I could, and no one really cared,” Kelland said. “Now I’m just kind of done with it.”

He instead decided to pursue his other longtime passion: motorcycles.

Kelland’s first bike was a small Honda 50cc that he used to get back and forth to work each day as a teenager. He began learn-ing how to fix damages to

his bikes. “It was a financial thing,

really,” Kelland said. “I started honestly destroy-ing my bike because I didn’t know what I was doing. I just couldn’t afford to get other people to work on my stuff.”

In 1984, Kelland opened a bike shop in England. But, with no experience or di-rection, the business failed in three years.

Texas teams, locals race in traditional dragon boats

Lady Bird Lake is usually filled with paddle boards and canoes on Saturday af-ternoons. But this Saturday, 40-foot-long boats shaped and painted like dragons will fill the lake for the 16th annual Austin Dragon Boat Festival.

Two teams from UT, one from the Chinese Students Association and one from the Chinese Students and Scholars Association, will participate in the dragon boat races, a 2,000-year-old tradition. Each dragon boat carries 22 people. While 20 people row, one person steers the boat and the other beats a drum to allow the paddlers to keep pace.

“One of the most chal-lenging things about dragon boat racing is teamwork,” said UT alum Sheena Chang, a former Chinese Students Association member who is coaching the UT teams. “All 20 paddlers should be do-ing the exact same thing at the exact same time, while the person who steers helps keep the boat straight and the drummer helps keep ev-eryone in sync.”

Chang is also the coach for the Austin Coolers Dragon Boat Team, one of the other 17 teams partici-pating in the races. The Aus-tin Coolers team trains year round and also participates in international dragon boat racing competitions.

“What I’ve learned from training different types of teams is that everyone learns differently,” Chang said. “On race day, each team applies it differently, so it’s always very exciting to see who comes out on top from year to year.”
