A resolution regarding undocumented students was passed by a vote of 18-9-2 at the Student Government Assembly meeting Tuesday, where over 50 students were in attendance in the gallery.

The resolution in question, entitled AR 16 — “In Support of Undocumented Students and Undocumented Long-horns Week” — outlines SG’s recognition of the importance of all undocumented students at UT and Undocumented Longhorns Week, which took place last week. It was first in-troduced on Oct. 8, when it was referred to the Legislative Affairs Committee. The reso-lution was re-referred to the committee at the meeting the following week.

Leaders from Young Con-servatives of Texas, Longhorn Libertarians and Republicans of Texas submitted a letter to SG representatives asking them to vote against AR 16 in order to provide a voice to the “silent majority” on campus.

During debate, Andrew

Houston, architecture and ur-ban studies senior and chair of the rules and regulation committee, moved to amend the resolution and change the title to “In Recognition of Undocumented Students and Undocumented Longhorns Week.” The amendment failed by a vote of 11-20.

“I believe that there are other ways to support undoc-umented students, both with-in the resolution itself and by actions taken by student gov-ernment,” Houston said.

Government freshman

Kallen Dimitroff said she thinks the assembly would be supporting an impassioned portion of the community if the resolution passed.

“I think saying ‘yes’ speaks a lot louder of us and our character as student leaders than saying ‘no’ does,” Dimi-troff said.

Christopher Jordan, Mc-Combs representative and business and English major, said he thinks representatives opposed to the legislation support undocumented stu-dents, but not the wording of

the resolution.“I support this cause,”

Jordan said. “What I don’t support is this resolu-tion — this alarmingly partisan resolution.”

Jordan said he attended the Legislative Affairs Com-mittee meetings discussing AR 16, and members of the committee and authors of the resolution did not allow representatives opposed to the bill to make any amend-ments. Economics junior

Student govern-ment represen-tative Stephen Vincent voices his concerns regarding the AR 16 resolution at the Student Government As-sembly meeting Tuesday evening.

Two of UTPD’s most valuable resources are also the furriest.

UTPD currently has two canine officers on the street — Spike and Maatje — and senior K-9 handler Jason Taylor said the department is working to-ward adding a third before the year ends. The department’s canine officers are trained to detect explosives and bring down criminals, and accord-ing to their handlers, playtime and crime-time are one and the same.

Taylor works with Spike, a Belgian Malinois who has been with the department for three years and typically works the day shift. Taylor said Spike usually responds to suspicious package or vehicle reports throughout the day.

“Belgian Malinois are like hot-rod German Shep-herds,” Taylor said. “They’re

A panel of open access ex-perts asked attendees to con-sider why open access should be an issue on the forefront for University faculty and students as a part of UT’s Open Access Week.

In the world of research, open access would allow the public to read academic jour-nals without paying for a sub-scription. In 2008, the National

Institutes of Health implement-ed an open access policy for its research, requiring all of its af-filiated researchers to publish their findings where they could be accessed by the general public. Since then, similar poli-cies have become more widely adopted, and there has been a stronger push for open access research journals.

At the “Open Access & The University” panel hosted by UT

The lease for UT’s on-campus post office has been extended through February 2016 after representatives of University Operations, Uni-versity Mail Services and the United States Postal Service met on Oct. 17.

The lease, initially set to expire in September, was extended through February of next year to give involved parties time to work out the details of the office’s future. It was then extended for two additional years to pro-vide time for the University and the post office to work in tandem on analyzing the mailing needs of the campus.

“We don’t want to be pressed for time to make long-term plans, and [the lease exten-sion] gives us time to plan further into the future with all the changes coming to the University,” University Op-erations spokeswoman Cindy Posey said. “We want to meet the mailing needs of the cam-pus community. We very much value what the post office pro-vides in meeting those needs.”

Posey said, through con-versations with the postal ser-vice, UT has found students make up the majority of the campus branch’s customers.

“Part of our planning is to conduct surveys from our customers and find out what their needs are,” Posey said.

The House Select Com-mittee on Transparency in State Agency Operations met Tuesday to hear testimony on the possible impeachment of Regent Wallace Hall.

The committee is consider-ing impeaching Hall because — among other reasons — he

has filed multiple broad open records requests with the Uni-versity, supposedly placing a burden on the University and requiring the University to hire more people to deal with the large capacity of re-quests. Some Texas legislators have called Hall’s requests a “witch hunt” with the goal of removing UT President Wil-liam Powers Jr. On Aug. 15,

Hall’s lawyers sent a letter to the co-chairs of the commit-tee, defending Hall’s actions and claiming Texas lawmak-ers had unduly influenced UT student admissions.

On Tuesday, members of the committee ques-tioned Kevin Hegarty, UT vice president and chief fi-nancial officer, along with open records coordinator

Carol Longoria.Hegarty said prior to Oct.

5, 2012, the open records of-fice employed one full-time person and one part-time person, but Hall’s requests increased the office’s work-load so much it had to hire more employees.

“Now, on any given day, we could have as many as seven people,” Hegarty said.

“We have three [who] dedi-cated 100 percent of their time, and I might say we never had an attorney in the group, and now we need [one]. Attorneys are more expensive than other folks.”

Hegarty said the open re-cords office was not able to keep up with Hall’s requests

Powers elected chair of association

President William Pow-ers Jr. was elected chair of the Association of American Universities Monday. His term begins immediately and will last for one year. Powers, who just finished his term as vice chair for the association, will continue to serve in his capacity as UT’s president. The institution is a collective of 62 research institutions including both private and public universities.

“It’s a great honor and op-portunity to lead the AAU at a time when higher edu-cation is confronting tre-mendous transformation in everything from funding to technology,” Powers said in a statement. “AAU schools are working to embrace changes while always remaining true to their core values of pro-viding a world-class educa-tion and cultivating world-class research.”

As chair, Powers will ad-vocate for higher education and research initiatives at the top schools across the na-tion and explain the value of such issues to the public, said Hunter Rawlings, president of the AAU in a statement.

“As chair of AAU, of course President Powers will have some very significant responsibilities in regards to stewardship of the or-ganization, but he also will be a spokesman for higher education and in particular the community of research universities,” said Barry Toiv, vice president for public af-fairs of the AAU. “Those universities, in particular the publics, are facing ex-tremely serious challenges, and we will be counting on him to articulate those chal-lenges and to articulate to the public and policy mak-ers the need for both policy and funding positions that will enable them to continue to thrive.”

The lease extension comes as a relief to geology junior Gabrielle Ramirez, who frequently uses the campus branch.

“With the size of our stu-dent population … it just makes sense to have a post office available on cam-pus, just as much as there’s

two Wendy’s on campus,” Ramirez said.

John Christian, a former UT employee who has had a P.O. box at the branch for more than 40 years, said he thinks keeping the post of-fice on campus is advanta-geous to everyone.

“I know people call it snail mail, but the USPS on campus performs a very important, convenient

service,” Christian said.Postal Service spokes-

man Sam Bolen said the postal service will continue to work with the University to develop a plan extending past the new lease.

“The new lease allows both parties time to devel-op a plan to bring the cam-pus community the best possible mail services in the future,” Bolen said.

because he sent simultane-ous requests and gave the office very short time peri-ods to send the information.

“It wasn’t fast enough for the board, and I was told con-tinually it’s not fast enough for Regent Hall,” Hegarty said.

Longoria said she and her colleagues frequently

worked late into the night to meet Hall’s deadlines, often until 10:30 or 11 p.m.

Hall’s attorney, Allan Van Fleet, said Hall filed some open records requests as a citizen instead of as a regent because doing so allows him to receive information sooner. He did not request protected information, Van Fleet said.

“He was specifically say-ing, ‘Not interested, do not

want FERPA information, do not want HIPAA informa-tion,’” Van Fleet said. “As he got more and further advice from the counsel, he would say, ‘Also not Social Security, also not income tax records.’ He was upfront in saying he didn’t want that stuff.”

Van Fleet said Hall nev-er improperly distributed records.

Longoria said the

system made her feel like she was not allowed to con-sult the Attorney General or any other legal counsel, Longoria said.

“I was very concerned that I was being unwittingly asked to do something po-tentially illegal, and I didn’t want to be a party to that,” Longoria said.

The committee will con-tinue its meeting Wednesday.

Stephen Vincent proposed an amendment Tuesday to alter the wording of the resolution. The amendment failed 9-21.

Danny Zeng, govern-ment and finance senior and

president of College Repub-licans, said he thinks the resolution should be put up for a referendum.

“This is a political opinion, and I challenge the propo-nents of the resolution to tell me straight to my face that this has nothing to do with being political,” Zeng said.

In the debate, SG vice president Ugeo Williams said one of his close friends is an undocumented student.

“I honestly just believe that they’re asking for sup-port. Remember, we don’t make laws,” Williams said. “They’re just asking for support.”

Libraries Tuesday, discussion was structured to help attend-ees understand their options for open access publishing.

“We’re definitely in a tran-sition period,” said Geor-gia Harper, UT librarian and copyright law attorney. “Publishers have realized [public access] is not the end of what we do, but a transi-tion of what we do. [Public access] has so much value for not just academics, but for people who are on the front lines, like engineers. Same with nursing, same with law, same with any field.”

Digital repository librar-ian Colleen Lyon said many

researchers are faculty em-ployed by universities. These researchers often apply for funding from public institu-tions, which taxpayers — who cannot access the research without a subscription — in-directly support, Lyon said. Once research is completed and submitted to a journal, the researcher must sign away their copyright rights to the journal. Editors and peer re-viewers then volunteer their time to the journals for free. Despite all of the free labor and obtained work, journals then sell their publications at consistently inflated prices.

“That’s the issue that a lot of people have with the cur-rent publishing system,” Lyon said. “It’s inherently unfair.

When you do public access, the research becomes acces-sible by everybody, not just people with subscriptions.”

Panel members also not-ed the value of open access in accommodating people without the same access to the amounts of information that is available through UT libraries and databases.

“I understand that we need to publish in peer review journals, but the dissemina-tion process is difficult when not everybody has access to expensive publications,” Ma-ria Esteva, a Texas Advanced Computing Center research associate, said in the panel.

The panelists discussed ways to make public access a reality for research journalists,

including shifting from the selling of publications to cre-ating submission fees for re-searchers. Many universities, including Texas A&M Uni-versity, have created funds to support faculty in publishing to open access journals. Such a fund does not currently exist at UT. Lyon said UT libraries subscribe to less research con-tent each year because of ris-ing research journal costs.

“The thing that’s most sad about the situation is how few people know anything about it,” Harper said. “Be an advocate. Tell other people who don’t know. And there’s so much that has been given freely of people for us to use. Take advantage of it. Search for it.”

lighter, faster-running and harder-biting.”

The department’s dogs are pre-trained, dual-purpose canines, Taylor said, which means Spike and Maatje are patrol dogs that can appre-hend criminals and also sniff out explosives.

UTPD assistant chief of police Terry McMahan said the K-9 unit formed as a re-sult of Sept. 11.

“The dogs are very valu-able members of our team, helping with suspicious package reports and patrol,” McMahan said. “They also

provide a lot of love and af-fection for the department.”

A tightly-knit bond be-tween handler and canine is critical to the success of a K-9 unit, Taylor said, which is why Spike lives with Taylor.

“You need a bond in order to be a true team,” Taylor said. “You spend so much time to-gether that the bond builds pretty quick and gets pretty deep … I like Spike because he’s a dog that likes to curl up next to you and hang out.”

Taylor signed onto UTPD’s K-9 unit in 2002 with his first Belgian Malinois, Robby. Rob-by retired in 2010 and passed away in December 2012. Tay-lor said Robby’s death was one

of the hardest things he has ever had to go through.

“I still have bad days re-garding that,” Taylor said.

Maadje works the night shift and typically responds to criminal apprehension re-ports. Sgt. Robert Stock said Maadje is the more aggressive of the two dogs.

“There’s been countless situations where perpetrators have complied after they hear his bark,” Stock said. “Spike’s the lover, while Maadje is more aggressive..”

Much like their human companions, Spike and Maatje have to keep in shape. Taylor said the two undergo continu-ous “maintenance” training.

Although police dogs are usu-ally taught to detect four odors, by the time Robby retired, Tay-lor said he taught Robby to de-tect 18 different odors.

Some of Spike and Maatje’s duties include extensive K-9 sweeps before, during and after large events like football games, but they are often called out to work with other law enforce-ment agencies, Taylor said.

Taylor said the price for a police dog depends on the vendor and the dog’s breed. For dual-purpose canines like Spike and Maatje, Taylor said the price can be as little as $8,500 or as much as $20,000. Spike cost the department roughly $12,000, Taylor said.

Rock ‘n’ roll is still a boy’s club, despite contributions from lady rockers such as Janis Joplin, Joan Jett and Debbie Harry. The fact that they are female defines their legacies.

Musicians for Equal Op-portunities for Women, or MEOW, is an organization dedicated to improving the role of women in the mu-sic industry through online coverage of women in music and support methods such as coaching and advocacy. The organization aims to make the idea of females as musi-cians, instead of females as entertainers, more common.

Founder Carla Black developed the MEOW organization from a previous project, ROCKRGRL Magazine.

RESEARCH

Group strives to improve image of women in music

Gender equality is still a widely unacknowledged and major problem in the workplace and on cam-pus, according to a study conducted by UT soci-ology department chair Christine Williams.

Williams recently pub-lished a revision of her study, “The Glass Escala-tor,” which identifies neo-liberalism and prejudice as the reasons why women are underrepresented in

leadership positions across virtually every field. Even in fields where women compose the majority of the workforce, men are dis-proportionately found in leadership roles, according to the study.

In scientific fields, such as geoscience, Williams said gender equality in college does not necessarily trans-late into gender equality in the workforce.

“In terms of un-dergraduate enroll-ment, they’re about 50/50, and [women are]

graduating with master’s degrees, and companies are hiring them in equal numbers,” Williams said. “But once they enter the workforce, they drop out very quickly.”

This is a common prob-lem in scientific fields, Wil-liams said. Tricia Berry, director of the Women in Engineering Program, said female engineering gradu-ates — including those at UT — often do not con-tinue working in engineer-ing fields, but bring valu-able experience with them

regardless of what kind of work they do.

“We lose in core engineer-ing design, but we gain en-gineering mind-set in other fields,” Berry said.

Berry said despite pre-viously low numbers of females in the field, the School of Engineering has improved drastically over past years, with its high-est undergraduate enroll-ment class for women ever this fall. Twenty-four per-cent of the school’s cur-rent undergraduates are women, while 29 percent

of the 2013 freshman class is female, according to University documents.

Emma Fullinwider, elec-trical engineering junior and communications co-ordinator for Women in Electrical and Computer Engineering, said the pro-gram is successful because of the community it offers female students.

“I can see how one would feel isolated as a woman in engineering,” Fullinwider said. “I could see it being intimidating, and doing bad in classes

because there is no one to study with, but we have a network, and we have established relationships.”

Williams said once women enter the work-force, they do not have the same cohesiveness with their co-workers.

“It used to be that jobs were stable and there was a career ladder to climb,” Williams said. “Now they are part-time, temporal, project-based and loyalty is not as important as it used to be. It’s a consequence of deindustrialization.”

EBBELER ON EDUCATION

HORNS DOWN: AGGIES STILL AREN’T OVER IT

Creating a culture of academic integrity takes entire campus

By Jen EbbelerDaily Texan Columnist

HORNS UP: POWERS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE AAU

EDITORIAL

Yet another reason to vote

GALLERY

Editor’s Note: This column is one in a series by associate classics professor Jennifer Ebbeler on the changing nature of higher education at UT-Austin and other institutions. Look for Prof. Ebbeler’s column in the Opinion section of this paper every other Wednesday.

This week, the University community cel-ebrates academic integrity and reminds each member of that community — instructors, students, teaching assistants — of the neces-sary part we play in ensuring that academic integrity remains a core value at UT. Too of-ten, it is assumed that cheating is an individual problem when, in actuality, it is a communal concern. Each of us has a role in ensuring that the playing field remains level. Instructors and teaching assistants must take every precau-tion to discourage cheating in their courses, including making it clear to students exactly what sorts of collaboration are permitted and disallowed. Students, of course, have a respon-sibility to behave honestly, but also to ensure

that their peers are behaving honestly as well. As we move into a new age of instruction,

one in which online quizzes and exams are playing an ever more central role, it is crucial that we all work together to nurture a culture of academic integrity and an intolerance of cheating. According to Marc Musick, senior associate dean for Student Affairs and pro-fessor of sociology, “The online environment may be a relatively new one for the university, but this code is no less important in that envi-ronment. Indeed, it is in these new and novel situations, such as online education, that act-ing with integrity and fairness is especially im-portant for helping the university maintain its core values of learning and discovery.”

Cheating happens. The Office of the Dean of Students’ website includes an extensive list of the ways students cheat (presumably to enlighten naive faculty rather than to inspire students). A recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education notes that, on average, 350 cases of cheating among all enrolled students (including professional school students) were reported each year at UT-Austin between 2003 and 2011. This number of reported incidents is surely just the tip of a very large iceberg. Epi-sodes of academic dishonesty are seriously un-derreported, sometimes because they can be difficult to prove without candid cameras (for instance, when a student’s eyes wander during an exam), and sometimes the instructor pre-

fers to handle it directly. More often, though, it is simply too much of a hassle to confront the issue through the formal channels.

The most blatant cheating can be prevented with some basic precautions: change exam questions, require multiple drafts of a pa-per, use different forms of the exam (or essay topics), don’t give the same exam at differ-ent times to different students, don’t permit students to leave the room unaccompanied, require backpacks and phones at the front of the room, count exams, check IDs, and proc-tor with vigilance. Still, it is nearly impossible to prevent all cheating. The days of students writing answers on hands or brims of baseball caps have been replaced by sophisticated sig-naling systems, on demand research papers for purchase, changing answers on graded exams, claiming an exam has been lost, and screen-shots of test questions (to name just a few of the more common tactics).

Given the many challenges instructors face in preserving academic integrity in traditional classrooms, it is difficult to imagine a world in which the University will be able to offer UT credit for courses taken entirely online. Tech-nologies that prevent other windows from opening when taking an online quiz or exam are easily skirted by working with a second computer. It is possible to develop algorithms that identify collaboration between enrolled students, but there is little except personal

integrity to prevent a student from collaborat-ing with friends, a spouse, or even a profes-sional with knowledge of the course material.

“Some of the most exciting work at the Uni-versity is about leveraging new technologies and educational delivery models to deliver more engaging and effective learning experi-ences,” said Dr. Harrison Keller, vice-provost for Higher Education Policy and Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning. “Yet, we know that these new approaches also create new temptations for students to subvert their own learning and undermine their peers. To ensure that course credit from UT-Austin con-veys academic integrity and excellence, faculty and students have to work together to ensure that our new learning environments are care-fully designed to give every student a fair op-portunity to learn and compete.”

The New York Times recently reported that cheating creates not shame and self-loathing but an increase in positive feelings among cheaters. These findings are troubling and also highlight the challenge that we as members of the University community face in confront-ing issues of academic integrity. We can create ever more sophisticated surveillance tools, but real change will come by changing the culture of the University to one with a zero-tolerance policy towards academic dishonesty.

Ebbeler is an associate professor in the de-partment of classics from Claremont, Calif.

Early voting is now open for the Nov. 5 election, which includes nine proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution, along with different regional issues depending on location. Many of the issues are easy to get behind — for instance, one proposition on the ballot would grant tax breaks to disabled veter-ans, and another would grant them to spouses of veterans killed in action — and others aren’t particularly relevant to most of us, such as the proposition to extend the number of days air-craft parts temporarily stored in Texas may qualify for a tax exemption. But a couple of the issues are worth your serious consideration and your vote.

The first of these, limited to Austin residents, would allow the city to borrow $65 million to put toward developing and maintaining afford-able housing projects in Austin. Austin is the most expensive Texas city to live in by a mar-gin of several thousand dollars, and the bond is sorely needed to allow many less-privileged Austinites to continue calling this city home. According to Tim League, a local housing ad-vocate quoted on the Keep Austin Affordable website, up to 38,000 families would be forced to leave the city if the affordable housing bond doesn’t pass.

The measure has been met with opposition from the Travis County Taxpayer’s Union, which has compared it to rape and protested it by blowing rape whistles. This offensive and demeaning form of political expression makes it difficult for us to sympathize with their com-plaint that the bond is being brought to a vote again, even though a similar one was defeated last year.

We concur with Daily Texan columnist Chuck Matula, who wrote yesterday that those who benefit from the city’s continued expan-sion and gentrification “have an obligation to the people those phenomena displace.” If Aus-tin is to truly be the great city we all want it to be, then it shouldn’t be closed off to those who cannot afford its exorbitant prices. We don’t think it’s too much to ask to divert the money

to those who need it most. We endorse the af-fordable housing bond and urge like-minded students to support it at the ballot box.

The other issue we find especially compel-ling is Proposition 6, which would allocate $2 billion from Texas’ Rainy Day Fund to finance water management projects across the state, and amend the Texas constitution to set up a permanent revolving fund that could continue paying for such projects in the future.

The Rainy Day Fund is filled with extra tax revenue from Texas’ booming oil and natural gas industry, and according to the Texas Tax-payers and Research Association, it has more than enough money to spare.

Moreover, the state desperately needs the initiative, as rising population and infrastruc-ture growth continue to drain Texas’ finite water resources. According to the Texas Water Development Board, if Texas does not invest more than $50 billion by 2060, its total unmet water needs will be more than 800 billion gal-lons a year, or more than 15 times the amount of water used by Austin in 2009. In short, if Texas doesn’t start spending a lot of money right now, it’s going to run out of water — and once that happens, the state’s future will look extremely bleak. That’s why we endorse Propo-sition 6.

Our endorsement of Proposition 6 also fi-nally answers the question, “What do Rick Perry, Nolan Ryan and The Daily Texan have in common?” as both the governor and the former Texas Rangers pitcher have come out in support of the measure.

Registered student voters have no excuse to not go to the polls, as there’s a voting location right on the way to class at the Flawn Academic Center. But out of a campus of thousands, only 76 students voted early at the FAC on Monday. Many more students should make their voices heard on issues that could do a lot of good for Austin and for Texas.

Early voting is open now and will continue until Nov. 1. After that, regular voting will take place on Nov. 5.

HORNS DOWN: MEDINA DOESN’T GET THE DROUGHT

Despite the fact that our 118-year-old rivalry with Texas A&M has been dead for over two years, the good folks over in Aggieland still haven’t quite come to terms with leaving behind their former nemesis in the Big 12. As this newspaper reported Monday, early Sunday morning, several UT monuments were spray-painted with Aggie-related graffiti. Among the targets were the LBJ Library and two outdoor sculptures. We get it, guys, you miss us, and you’re taking it out on our fancy monu-ments and pieces of public art. (High culture can be so disorienting and confusing, can’t it?) But you’ve got to come to terms with this rivalry being over. Spray-paint a thousand “howdys” on our campus, but we’re still not getting back together.

Congratulations are in order for UT president Bill Powers, who was elected chair of the Association of American Universities, the preeminent University ad-ministration organization in the US, on Tuesday. His appointment follows a stint as the vice chair of the non-profit organization, a position he has held since 2012. To whom it may concern: firing (or otherwise ousting) the head of arguably the most prestigious group of university administrators in the Americas is probably not a good way to start a replacement search.

John Massingill / Daily Texan Staff

In an editorial on the Texas Tribune website Tuesday, Deb-ra Medina, head of the Tea Party group We Texans and cur-rent candidate for comptroller, made her case against Prop. 6. The proposition, a constitutional amendment designed to take money from the state’s Rainy Day Fund to help deal with current water shortages, is set to go to a popular vote in the Nov. 5 election. In the editorial, Medina lambasted Prop. 6, urging a “free market” solution to the current droughts. She concluded with a reference to October’s downpours, say-ing, “In light of recent rains, Texas will enjoy at least a brief reprieve from the severe drought and perhaps take the op-portunity to ask better questions in preparation for the 2015 legislative session.” In case Medina hasn’t ventured down to Lake Travis recently, a reminder: The storms a few weeks ago added 50,000 acre-feet to Lakes Travis and Buchanan, bringing their water levels to a grand total of 35 percent full. The amount needed to reach capacity? One-and-half million acre-feet, a full 30 times what October’s ACL-drowning tor-rents added. Texas can’t endure two more years of solution-less drought while we wait for the next legislative session. Support Prop. 6 or not, it’s the only statewide solution on the table at the moment.

and something that was more of an organization,” Black said.

On Oct. 24, MEOW will hold its first-ever conference, MEOW Con, at the Renais-sance Hotel. The conference, described as a “gathering of the tribes,” is a two-day, inter-active forum filled with events like keynote speeches and live performances by female rock-ers. The conference is both an effort to spread awareness about MEOW and to address the needs of female musicians.

“It really is about equal op-portunities for women,”Black said. “It’s about more women playing drums, more all-female bands, just more attention to women and not treating them like such novelties or outcasts.”

Despite the approaching conference, MEOW still ded-icates time to MEOWgazine, the name given to their web-site. MEOWgazine serves as a platform for spreading news about female musicians and sparking conversations about

the issues some women face.While local musician

Dana Falconberry is not involved in MEOW this year, she said she values what the organization stands for.

“I think it’s all about bringing awareness to peo-ple and I think that you need organizations like this to do that,” Falconberry said.

MEOW Con begins with the presentation of the an-nual Woman of Valor award to rock bassist Suzi Quatro. Quatro has sold more than 55 million albums worldwide, and is considered to be the first female bassist to become a rock star. She will also per-form at the conference.

Grace London, a 13-year-old musician who is also scheduled to speak and per-form at the conference, ex-plained what MEOW means to her as a teenager.

“It’s giving women and girls a place to gain wisdom, and so many women have so many experiences,” London said. “I can use their experi-ences to forge my own path.”

arrived at age 16. Sam Cade began baking frequently for her friends, sending sam-ples over to their houses for tasting.

That summer, she got a job at a nearby bakery, where she started out as a cashier. By the end of the summer, she was working in the back with the other pastry chefs. Anxious to spend more time baking, she even graduated high school early to work at the bakery full time. Though she loved her work, Sam Cade still did not con-sider turning her passion into a career.

“It was just a hobby I did to make some side money,” Sam Cade said.

Just weeks before Cade’s Cakes opened for business, a friend sent her pictures of a baking contest spon-sored by the University Panhellenic Council.

“She told me it was totally something I should enter,” Sam Cade said. “And I did.”

She won the contest, though she had wondered if she would even place. The victory convinced her to start baking and selling her cakes full time. With a solid follow-ing back home and reviews circulating campus, the orders began rolling in.

Sam Cade feels comfort-able with the demands of running a growing operation. She keeps a strict schedule of baking in the morning, going to class during the middle of the day and decorating her finished cakes in the evening. Now, she has made plans for the future with cake baking in mind.

“After college, I want to go to culinary school,” Sam Cade said. “And hopefully after that, I’d like to get a place for Cade’s Cakes that’s not my apartment.”

SIDELINEFOOTBALL

Whaley leads by exampleAs senior defensive tackle

Chris Whaley ran toward the end zone after intercepting a Blake Bell pass in this year’s Red River Rivalry game, only one thought ran through his mind — score.

The 6-foot-3-inch, 295-pound Whaley, who originally committed to Texas as a running back four years ago, hadn’t found the end zone in his first three seasons with the Longhorns. Thirty-one yards after his first career interception, the senior finally registered his first score.

“Once I caught it, I looked up and saw I had enough field to try and run it for a touch-down,” Whaley said. “When I saw the quarterback, I wasn’t going to be denied. I wasn’t going to let him stop me.”

While the interception return proved to be a sig-nificant play in the Long-horns’ upset victory over the Sooners, it hardly stands as Whaley’s only major contri-bution. The senior anchors the interior of the Texas de-fensive line as a prominent run stopper, racking up 19 tackles, three for a loss, along with one sack in six games this season.

While Whaley con-sistently produces in the trenches each week, junior

defensive end Cedric Reed believes the defensive tack-le’s biggest asset remains his ability to direct the Texas defensive front.

“He’s the general of our de-fense,” Reed said. “He helps us get lined up, he takes it into our hands when we mess up and he just makes sure our practices are straightened up. He’s just a great leader.”

Senior defensive end Jack-son Jeffcoat said in addition to leading communication on the field, Whaley maintains a vocal role in the Texas locker room.

“He’s a big vocal guy,” Jef-fcoat said. “He’s the guy that will normally speak up and say what we all feel and he understands what we feel and what needs to be relayed to the whole team. He’s the guy that will speak up and make sure everyone is on the same page.”

Whaley molds his leader-ship role after the standout veterans who helped ease his transition to Texas as a fresh-man in 2009. In addition to rallying his teammates with his words, the senior

believes leading by example in practice is a necessary part of guiding younger players.

“In order to be a leader you have to practice what you preach,” Whaley said. “If you’re going to preach about working hard, you have to do it yourself. I go out everyday with an edge at practice. I’m going to get better every day. Some of the younger guys are watching me, so I’ve got to be a great example for them.”

Whaley experienced Texas’ most recent Big 12 championship in 2009 as a

redshirt freshman. After wading through a trio of disappointing seasons over the past three years, the de-fensive tackle is focused on winning another Big 12 title — but on the field this time.

“It would mean a lot,” Whaley said. “ ‘09 is the last time Texas won a Big 12 championship. Being a senior and winning a Big 12 cham-pionship is a big accomplish-ment. It would mean a lot to me to turn it around after all those bad seasons we had the last few years.”

SOCCER | COLUMN

Kelly, underclassmen leading way for Texas

Sunday was Senior Day at Mike A. Myers Stadium, and Gabby Zarnegar and Brenda Saucedo took their last kicks on home grass.

It made for a nice mo-ment at the first whistle when Saucedo, who rarely starts, got a huge hug from head coach Angela Kelly on her way off the field. Kelly is 11-4-2 in her second year at Texas and will likely have a second-place Big 12 fin-ish and NCAA tournament berth to add to her already impressive resume.

Kelly came to Texas after a 12-year stint as head coach at Tennessee. The Tennessee Lady Vols had national recognition and success in just about every sport but soccer before her ar-rival, but Kelly built the group into title contenders.

During pre-game ceremo-nies, Kelly showed genu-ine affection for Zarnegar and Saucedo, players she didn’t recruit.

There have been far too many college coaches fired or disciplined in the past few years for berating, abusing and even assaulting players. Most of them try and excuse themselves as passionate or old-school, but those excuses are just press-conference ratio-nalizations for bad behavior.

Kelly is as intense as any coach. But before the pre-game huddle breaks and af-ter the final whistle, she is as relaxed as she would be at a Sunday picnic with family.

She was all hugs and smiles at the pre-game ceremony for

Zarnegar and Saucedo, and while Zarnegar will be sorely missed, every other major contributor from this team is expected back next season.

This list includes sopho-more goalkeeper Abby Smith, as well as her classmates Kelsey Shimmick, Lindsey Meyer, Chantale Campbell and Emilie Campbell.

Add freshman Marchelle Davis to that group and that makes six starters who aren’t even taking upper-division classes yet.

Davis, Smith and team-mates are fortunate to have a coach with the skills to make them better players, the expe-rience to give words gravity and the ability to motivate and instruct in a positive manner.

It is a joy to watch this team play, and of course, winning makes everyone happier. When the field starts to tilt against the Longhorns, Kelly is at her best, orchestrating and encouraging all at once.

After last season’s 8-10-2 extended get-to-know-you session, Kelly and her team are clicking well enough to be an NCAA tournament team and perhaps the first UT squad to reach the Sweet 16 since 2007.

Regardless of how far into November the Longhorns can keep themselves on the field, this season has been a success. Usually it is fair to give a new coach four full seasons to get her own play-ers onto the roster, but Kelly doesn’t seem to need that.

Next year the expectations will be much higher, but after what she did at Rocky Top, we know Angela Kelly isn’t afraid of heights.

Shweta Gulati / Daily Texan StaffAngela Kelly is in her second season as head coach at Texas.

Longhorns reclaim top spot

After reeling off nine con-secutive victories, Texas has once again reached the top of the mountain.

The Longhorns received 44 of the 60 first place votes in the most recent Ameri-can Volleyball Coaches as-sociation poll, reclaiming the No. 1 ranking for the first time since beginning the season in the same spot.

After topping Iowa State this past weekend, No. 1 Texas increased its confer-ence winning streak to six, giving it a two game lead in the Big 12. The Longhorns eclipsed a .300 hitting per-centage for the fifth time this season in that game, showing off an offense that is finding its rhythm.

“For us it was a very im-portant match. Iowa State only had one loss in con-ference, so to be able to get a two-game separation at this point in the season was very important for us,”

head coach Jerritt Elliott said. “Our team was pretty resilient and came back. We need to be put in these situations where everything isn’t so smooth.”

An important piece for the dominant Texas offense is junior outside hitter Hal-ey Eckerman, who struggled a bit coming into the match with the Cyclones. Fourteen kills and three service aces later, Eckerman proved why she is a perennial Player of the Year candidate.

“I was proud of how Haley played,” Elliott said. “She’s continued to get more consistent in our program. She’s obviously got a lot of responsibilities off the court and we know that she’s go-ing to get there.”

Although the Iowa State game snapped the Long-horns’ six-game streak of tallying more total kills than their opponents, the team is still outhitting opponents by an average of .077 points this season. Senior outside hit-ter Bailey Webster, currently

ranked first on the team in kills with 198, surpassed Eckerman in offensive out-put over the last few contests.

Freshmen Chloe Col-lins also increased her role over the last few conference games, as Collins notched a career-high four kills and led the team with 29 assists and three blocks against the Cyclones.

West Virginia will enter the match with a 2-4 Big 12 record and a total hitting percentage of just .202. The Mountaineers are 9-2 at home this season and have won the error bat-tle 78-95 against opponents this season.

Texas averages 14.2 er-rors per match in confer-ence play this season, which will play directly into West Virginia’s defensive style if the Longhorns cannot find consistent offense.

If the offense can contin-ue its pace, the top-ranked Longhorns will leave Morgantown on Wednes-day night with their 10th straight victory.

Texas juniors Lloyd Glasspool and Soren Hess-Olesen defeated No. 3 Texas A&M with a 8-7(6) win to claim the USTA/ITA Texas Regional Championship doubles title Tuesday.

With the victory, Glasspool and Hess-Olesen improved to 10-1 together on the season. The re-gional title earns Glasspool and Hess-Olesen an

automatic bid to the USTA/ITA National Intercolle-giate Indoor Champion-ships in New York, which start Nov. 7.

They join freshman George Goldhoff, who claimed his automatic bid earlier in the month.

Texas is now 49-35 on the season in singles play and 26-10 in doubles play.

Texas will host the UT In-vitational Oct. 25-27.

Texas disappoints in final tournament

Texas left the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational in Windermere, Fla., with its second worst finish of the season.

As a team, the Long-horns finished in seventh place with a 13-over-par overall score for the tour-nament’s three rounds. Alabama, who snatched yet another team victory for the season, carded a 26-under-par overall score.

Both freshman Gavin Hall and redshirt senior Johnathan Schnitzer failed to find consistency in all three days of competition. The pair had one of their worst showings of the sea-son as they combined to shoot a 26-over-par overall score for the event.

Redshirt sophomore Tayler Termeer, who made his season debut at Wind-ermere, had a shaky three days as well. After finishing at three-under-par Sun-day, Termeer combined to shoot an 11-over-par score in the event’s last two days.

A bright spot came from the veteran performance of senior Toni Hakula. Hakula led all Longhorn competi-tors with a one-under-par overall tournament score, which was good enough to put him tied for eighth in the individual standings. After coming into Tuesday at even-par overall, Hakula carded a par on every hole except the 16th, where he had a birdie, to finish at one-under-par on the tour-nament’s last day.

With the fall season now over, Texas has just a few months to fix inconsisten-cies and perfect its game before the beginning of the spring season in February.

8 L&A

Phil Coulson has come a long way since his first appearance in “Iron Man” as the seemingly unim-portant agent of a seem-ingly unimportant agency. Five movies later, Coulson, played by Clark Gregg, has attained the status of geek legend. What better way to reward such a rank than by giving him his own television series?

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” already has five episodes under its belt, each one displaying the witty humor, explosive action and mythological continuity that makes the Marvel movies so great. Coulson thrives as the connective tissue between the Marvel films, with his appearance in “Iron Man”

laying the groundwork for his cameos in later films, often popping in to offer a goofy line or to help de-brief the future members of the Avenger Initiative. Gregg’s starring role in “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is rife with the promise of amazing crossovers on the horizon.

But didn’t Coulson die in “The Avengers”? Although his life was tragically cut short by Loki’s badass blade, he appears relatively unharmed in “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..” This plot twist provides one of the series’ most compelling mysteries. In the pilot, Coulson reveals that his death at the hands of Loki was merely a ploy with the express goal of uniting the dysfunctional superhe-roes into one unit. After his faked death, Coulson escaped to Tahiti to await further orders. As soon as he is out of earshot, two superior agents make the case that Coulson’s idea of what happened is far from the actual truth, and that

there is something he does not know.

Gregg’s performance as Coulson has always car-ried a disarmingly stoic energy that conceals great-er truths we may not yet know about the character. In the early days before “The Avengers” was re-leased, I had a theory that Coulson may be a double agent for the Skrulls, a shape-changing race of aliens from the comics who were believed to be Loki’s army in the film. His death in “The Avengers” effectively disproved my Skrull theory and left me feeling quite disappoint-ed there was not more to discover about the son of Coul.

With this recent devel-opment in the series, that curiosity is rekindled, and I have a few new theories as to why everyone’s fa-vorite agent is still alive. One theory is that Coul-son is a clone, an ideal example of the perfect S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. I could see a warehouse of Coul-sons lined up for distri-bution every time he dies. With this, S.H.I.E.L.D. would always have an ef-fective team builder on hand who never ceases to exist. My other theory is that S.H.I.E.L.D. retains a semblance of Thor’s As-gardian technology that awoke Coulson with some freaky Nordic magic in Tahiti. Coulson himself states, in what has become a catchphrase, “Tahiti is a magical place.”

Regardless of how or why Coulson is still alive, “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is prov-ing to be one of the most compelling en-tries yet in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

If Sam Cade goes miss-ing, just look for her in the kitchen.

Sam Cade is the baker be-hind Cade’s Cakes, a novelty bakery the business sophomore from Dallas runs out of her Nueces apartment.

“My roommates prob-ably want to kill me,” Sam Cade said jokingly. “I’m always in the kitchen doing something.”

Even though Cade’s Cakes opened in spring 2013, it has be-come a popular destination for custom desserts.

“I’m booked till December,” Sam Cade said. “I do cakes for

people living in Austin, living in Dallas, living in Houston, wherever. People will drive in and bring them back home for their kids.”

From creating a Whata-burger hamburger cake to an edible yellow Ferrari, Sam Cade is just as much a sculp-tor as she is a baker. Her cakes have the detail and style of a veteran pastry chef, though she originally had no intention of baking cakes for a living.

“It was just something I did that other people happened to like,” Sam Cade said.

She had all the makings of a successful dessert chef from a young age. Her mother, Betsy Cade, remembers her

youngest daughter having a noticeably creative streak.

“She was always mak-ing something. Scrapbooks, drawings and such,” Betsy Cade said. “There was always some project going on.”

Betsy Cade added that her daughter had a particular fondness for sugary food.

“She loved sweets, every kind she could get her hands on,” Betsy Cade said. “Fancy donuts, tarts, anything.”

Her father, Nick Cade,

remembers his daugh-ter having a very keen eye for design.

“I was really surprised with her proj-ects, how she used scale and proportion so well,” Nick Cade said.

It was only a matter of time before Sam Cade’s grasp of form, desire to cre-ate and sugar tooth came to-gether. The pivotal moment

What’s better than a good book? A good book and good food.

Experience both at the Texas Book Festival’s Central Market Cooking Tent. With 13 cookbook authors leading cooking demonstrations and discussions based on their books, foodies will be in culi-nary heaven. The authors will present foods ranging from the Austin staple — breakfast tacos — and enticing cocktails to mouth-watering barbeque.

The Daily Texan picked a few of the authors and cookbooks that will be represented at the festival this weekend.

“Austin Breakfast Tacos” by Jarod Neece and Man-do Rayo, Saturday from 10-11 a.m.

If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and tacos are the most important food, then the breakfast taco must be the most important type of taco. Neece and Rayo, au-thors of “Austin Breakfast Tacos: The Story of the Most Important Taco of the Day,” explore breakfast taco culture and history in Austin. Not only does their book tell the story of popu-lar Austin taco shops, but it also provides recipes taco fanatics can make at home.

“The Salt Lick Cookbook” by Scott Roberts, Saturday from 1-2 p.m.

People travel to Austin just to taste his barbeque. Roberts’ restaurant, The Salt Lick, has become an institution for all things smoked meat in Austin and Texas. Recognizing his success, Roberts wrote “The

Salt Lick Cookbook: A Story of Land, Family, and Love” to bring his recipes to readers’ kitchens. The book reveals many of the recipes and tech-niques used by the restaurant.

“Tipsy Texan” by David Alan, Saturday from 4-5 p.m.

Alan gives cocktails a Tex-as twist in his book “Tipsy Texan.” Alan, a professional bartender and restaurant spe-cialist, wrote “Tipsy Texan: Spirits and Cocktails from the Lone Star State” as both a recipe book of Texas-inspired drinks and a lesson about the history of alcoholic beverages in the state. At his demo, Alan will talk about his book and teach audience members how to make his cocktails, just in time for happy hour.

“The Austin Food Blogger Alliance Cookbook” by Ad-die Broyles, Sunday from 11 a.m.-12 p.m.

For Broyles and members of the Austin Food Blogger Alliance, journalism and food go hand-in-hand. As an Aus-tin American-Statesman food writer and culinary blogger, Broyles knows the ins and outs of the Austin food scene. She co-authored “The Austin Food Blogger Alliance Cook-book” with other prominent Austin foodies. The book ranges broadly in recipe type, but the dishes are all con-nected by their relationship to Texas.

“The Beekman 1802 Heir-loom Dessert Cookbook” by Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge, Sunday from 12:30-1:30 p.m.

Readers will satisfy their sweet tooth while monitor-ing their environmental
