Although the Jefferson Da-vis statue was removed from the Main Mall Aug. 30, the Sons of Confederate Veterans are still fighting for the statue to be returned to campus.

A hearing held in the dis-trict court Aug. 27 deter-mined the Davis and Wood-row Wilson statues could be removed because the court did not have jurisdiction over what UT decided to do with the statues. However, Kirk Lyons, an attorney represent-ing the Sons of Confederate

While the University po-lice department is currently testing some body cameras, there is no firm date for when the cameras will be fully implemented by the officers, according to UTPD Chief David Carter.

Carter said the depart-ment wants to add body

cameras to increase police transparency, but persis-tent issues such as storage of information, individual privacy and cost of the technology still need to be solved before the cameras are used officially.

All of these policy consid-erations are being worked through so UTPD can find the best practices to model itself after, Carter said.

“We are working with looking at best practices of other police departments … and also looking at try-ing to find a good policy model,” Carter said. “UT System is also looking at issues regarding solid po-lices, so I would anticipate that we’d have some bet-ter information as to when we could possibly roll out this on a large scale in the

coming, hopefully, weeks or months.”

Austin Police Depart-ment approved a budget for body cameras in Septem-ber and plans to have offi-cers with body cameras by next year.

Carter said as body cam-eras are being rolled out in police departments around the country, the line be-tween transparency and

privacy is blurred. “There’s no con to using

a body camera, because it is about transparency, but we have to ensure people’s privacy concerns are ad-dressed, as well as how do we manage the storage and the costs associated with that,” Carter said.

Carter said the budget is

After more than 11 years and 147 games, Bevo XIV’s run as the Texas mascot has come to a close. Bevo retired Tuesday after being diagnosed with Bovine Leu-kemia Virus, which caused him to miss Texas’ 24-17

victory against Oklahoma on Saturday.

Rumors surrounding Bevo’s retirement began early last week, as he was preliminarily diagnosed with cancer. Various Texas doctors examined him, in-cluding his longtime vet-erinarian Dr. John Tarlton, eventually confirming the

diagnosis. They decided that it was in Bevo’s best interest to retire.

“Wishing @BEVO_XIV a happy and restful retirement on his ranch after bringing so much goodwill and pride to @UTAustin,” UT Presi-dent Gregory Fenves tweet-ed Tuesday.

Bevo will reside on a

ranch owned by his caretak-ers John T. and Betty Baker, who act as his sole owners. The Bakers donated him to the University for games and special events.

Before he became known to the Longhorns commu-nity as Bevo, the Bakers called the steer by his origi-nal name, Sunrise Studly. As

Sunrise, Bevo was a champi-on steer, earning the title of National Grand Champion from the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America in 2004.

“He was just a 2-year-old when he became Bevo,” Betty said in an interview

After local repair shops wanted to charge him $120 to fix his cracked iPhone screen, business freshman Anthony Matthews decided to take mat-ters into his own hands.

Using online research, Mat-thews taught himself how to repair his phone screen. In the fall of 2012, Matthews posted his finished product on social media and soon after, started his iPhone repair service.

“After posting my self-repair on Instagram, there was a mass

amount of interest among my friends,” Matthews said. “It started out as a side job but eventually grew into a business during the summer of 2014 due to high demand.”

Since launching his busi-ness, “iGoRepair,” Matthews has repaired iPhone and iPad screens, batteries and buttons and has repaired 637 devices. Matthews has relocated his service from his hometown in Abilene to Austin, running the business out of his dorm in Jester. To differentiate himself from other services, Matthews

BEVOBYE,

Cheers and boos erupted from the crowd watching the first of six Democratic presidential debates Tuesday evening while candidates sparred over gun control and higher education affordabil-ity, among other issues.

Supporters of the five Democratic presidential can-didates, including UT stu-dents and members of Uni-versity Democrats, gathered at Scholz Garten for a watch party hosted by the Travis County Democratic Party.

Several candidates criti-cized Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for his votes against gun control bills, with for-mer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying he is not tough enough on guns. Sanders said his votes reflected the rural state voters he represents.

“I think that we need to look at the fact that we lose 90 people a day from gun vio-lence,” Clinton said. “This has gone on too long, and it’s time the entire country stood up against the NRA.”

The debate comes just two weeks after the fatal shootings of nine students at an Oregon community college, which has since brought gun con-trol — especially on college campuses — back into the na-tional spotlight.

University Democrats President Kiefer Odell said he thought gun control was an issue Clinton could use to garner support from the left, and that it could make the dif-ference in some UT students’ support.

“I certainly have my per-sonal leanings, but I think the club is pretty evenly split,” Odell said. “Most are still pretty undecided.”

Jessica Giles, a communi-cation sciences and disorders studies freshman, said she thought Sanders received a lot of heat from the other can-didates because of a misrep-resentation of his gun control stance.

Veterans, filed a petition Aug. 31 after the statues had already been removed.

Lyons said they are cur-rently working to speed up the process for the case to be heard in the state’s 6th Court of Ap-peals in Texarkana, Texas.

“The law is very clear, and this new judge made a mis-take,” Lyons said. “When you are David and not Goliath, you get justice at the appeals level. It is not uncommon, and that is why they have appeals courts.”

University spokesman Gary Susswein said the court has not determined a date for when the brief is to be submit-ted, but Lyons said after speak-ing with the clerk at the Court of Appeals, the brief is due Nov. 6.

At the Court of Appeals, Ly-ons said all of the information the Sons of Confederate Veter-ans presented in district court would be reviewed.

“We go with the record we have, unless we win and it goes back to the district court,” Ly-ons said. “We have a good shot to win in the Court of Appeals. The well-settled law is on our side.”

Rohit Mandalapu, Student Government vice president, said there could be an endless list of appeals for them, but all will have the same result.

“It’s an issue that has been dealt with, and honestly, I’m surprised that it’s still an is-sue,” Mandalapu said. “They don’t have a case, which is why they didn’t win the first time around.”

Despite the removal of the statues, Lyons said the Sons of Confederate Veterans are con-sidering making UT President

Gregory Fenves a smaller ver-sion of the Davis statue.

“We are looking into an art print and a desk size statue for Greg,” Lyons said.

David McDonald, former president of the UT Black Student Association, said with other racial discussions the University is having, this one is unnecessary because of the lack of interest from UT.

“If the students aren’t lead-ing the initiative to bring the statues back onto the Main Mall, then the statues shouldn’t be on campus,” McDonald said. “I’m more than confident that our administration is able to make the best decision for our campus, [and] outside people should not be making the decisions.”

a major driver for any police department as it relates to technology, including body cameras. University police officers who have regular contact with the commu-nity would be the first ones wearing body cameras, Carter said.

Government freshman Sofia Martin Huerta said she feels body cameras are both good for officers and citizens, especially because people will be less scared to approach an officer or to be stopped by an officer. She said privacy protec-tion is her immediate wor-ry for the introduction of body cameras.

“I feel like nothing’s go-ing to be private, especially when you’re talking to a po-lice officer and you want to tell him something private, and it’s not going to end up private,” Martin Huerta said.

Carter said the student body is reflective of society in general, so students with worries about police trans-parency are to be expected.

“As there are ques-tions and concerns about

police conduct and police accountability, as well as concerns about privacy, I would imagine the student body would simply reflect [those] same sentiments that we would see and ex-pect throughout society,” Carter said.

Electrical engineering senior Brandon Dyer said he feels the possible use of body cameras does not make him feel any more or less safe.

“I honestly haven’t really interacted with UTPD on campus at all, so it wouldn’t really make that much of a difference to me, honestly,” Dyer said.

Carter said as the goal of implementing body cameras continues, University police will gauge the policies of other police departments to help form their own.

“As this continues to de-velop, we’ll carefully moni-tor and see what successes police departments have, and also what challenges and how they overcome the challenges,” Carter said. “We’re not going to try and reinvent the wheel, so to speak, but we do see value in this [technology].”

meets with customers to repair devices in person anywhere on campus in 30 minutes or less.

“People love not having to go across town for their needs,” Matthews said. “I can meet up with you on your time, on cam-pus, with you physically watch-ing me do the repair. That at-tracts a lot of customers.”

Matthews credits his deci-sion to enroll at UT entirely to “iGoRepair.”

“After running my busi-ness for most of high school, I changed my mind from majoring in forensic science at Texas Tech to majoring in business at UT,” Matthews said. “It was a domino effect. It’s cool to think that I’m here today all because I cracked my iPhone in 2012.”

Social media plays a key role in driving “iGoRepair”

forward, Matthews said.“A lot of people were talking

about him on Facebook, so I saw his business on my news-feed through friends,” civil engineering freshman Jenny Liu said. “He’s very easily ap-proachable online and very in-expensive.”

Biology freshman Abby Mohr said she feels the best feature of “iGoRepair” is its convenience.

“The best part was that he came to the lobby of my dorm, so it was like I had the shop right downstairs,” Mohr said. “He was very nice and profes-sional. It’s a really cool service.”

Matthews said connect-ing with his peers is the most rewarding part of doing business.

“I love my business because I get to share stories, make friends and meet new people,” Matthews said. “It really has changed me as a person.”

If the students aren’t leading the initia-tive to bring the statues back onto the Main Mall, then the statues shouldn’t be on campus.

—David McDonald, Former UT Black Student Association President

Doing Innovation, a re-search initiative funded by the MacArthur Foundation, determined that today’s stu-dents need skills that help them work seamlessly as part of a team, physical spaces that allow for cre-ative collaboration and bet-ter educational preparation for the modern competitive labor market.

These findings are based on the results of a study conducted by radio-televi-sion-film professor Craig Watkins and a team of grad-uate students. The study determined, through inter-views and observations of high school students and professionals, that there are new educational needs that aren’t being met to prepare students for the modern workforce, Watkins said in a press release.

At UT, however, pro-grams such as Maker Space, engineering studios at the Cockrell School of Engineering and new de-gree programs through the Moody College of Com-munication and the College of Fine Arts are addressing students’ needs, Watkins said in the release.

“We’re fortunate that at UT-Austin, there are al-ready programs addressing new educational needs,” Watkins said. “But our research suggests there is room for improve-ment at all levels of the education system.”

Public relations fresh-man Sarah Clark Ballard said extracurricular activi-ties in some high schools are fulfilling the need for collaborative education.

“Activities like yearbook, in my case, definitely pre-pared me for a work en-vironment,” Ballard said. “We had to sell ads to ac-tual companies, and then we would have to design them according to their requests. It was a very collaborative experience.”

It is the responsibility of a student to seek out col-laborative opportunities to prepare them for the work force, according to political

communications sopho-more Cody Church.

“It is absolutely essential that a graduate possess the necessary skills to function as a member of a team ef-fectively,” Church said. “I think finding a student or-ganization that works for you is extremely important, but ultimately it falls on each individual student to network with profession-als in the field they hope to work in.”

The study revolved around young professionals who are navigating a com-plex economy and how col-laboration is central to their success, Watkins said in the release.

Biology freshman Abby Mohr said she feels the best feature of “iGoRepair” is its convenience.

“The best part was that he came to the lobby of my dorm, so it was like I had the shop right downstairs,” Mohr said. “He was very nice and profes-sional. It’s a really cool service.”

“I love my business because I get to share stories, make friends and meet new people,” Matthews said. “It really has changed me as a person.”

After shutting down its Guadalupe Street loca-tion last December, local vegetarian restaurant Veg-gie Heaven plans to return to business next spring at a downtown location.

The Asian-influenced veg-etarian and vegan restaurant will relaunch in March at 1161 West 5th St. after being located on Guadalupe since 1997.

The restaurant originally closed because Mei Chen, co-founder and co-owner of Veg-gie Heaven, wanted to retire. Stacy Chen, Mei’s daughter and the creator and founder of Veggie Heaven, said al-though they hadn’t planned to reopen, she decided to open the restaurant’s new location after customers pleaded for its return.

“We didn’t stay at the Gua-dalupe, because we weren’t planning on keeping Veggie Heaven. So we gave up that location because we were go-ing to retire, especially for my mom,” Chen said.

Chen said they began looking for a new location back in May. She said the 5th Street location was the last location they applied for that accepted them.

Chen said the location near campus is actually more expensive than the one they have on Fifth Street, which also led them to pick a downtown location.

“Usually the community sees us around the Austin area and the community [rec-ognizes] us and [asks] us to

bring Veggie Heaven back,” Chen said. “They usually said they missed Veggie Heaven too much.”

Lainey Benson, president of University Vegetarians and human geography junior, said she was disappointed when Veggie Heaven closed, because it was a place her organization used to have meetings. Ben-son said the old location near campus was good for non-veg-etarian students to a try plant-based, sustainable diet.

“Students who were a little weary about changing their diet were given kind of an

encouraging light,” Ben-son said. “It showed that it wasn’t hard to adjust their eating habits and that there were a lot of tasty ways to do so. Veggie Heaven closing meant a little more than just a loss of meeting grounds for [University Vegetarians].”

Benson said while the new location will be less ac-cessible for students, Veggie Heaven will still be a hot spot for vegetarians.

“Veggie Heaven was a be-loved local business, so seeing it make a comeback, no mat-ter the location, is really cool,”

Benson said. “I definitely plan on visiting there once it opens to support local eateries that focus on a meat-free menu.”

The new Veggie Heaven will offer some new vegan menu items as well as old favorites, Chen said, including their fa-mous “Protein 2000,” a vegan dish of soybean vegetable pro-teins and vegetables in a sweet brown sauce.

Austin Shaver, UT alum-nus and former member of the Bhakti Yoga Club, which practices “spiritual vegetarian-ism,” said that while the food was great, the old location’s

atmosphere needed improve-ment. Shaver said changing the location of the restaurant could make the dining experi-ence more pleasurable.

“The restaurant had little room for the large amount of tables it fit into the space, which made you anxious to even go use the restroom,” Shaver said. “The place also had an unbearably large amount of fluorescent light-ing, which made you want to leave as soon as possible. So as long as they change the atmo-sphere, I have no doubt they’ll do better than great.”

As UT continues to dis-cuss implementation of campus carry, 52 members of the psychology depart-ment have signed a state-ment voicing opposition to the law.

This statement is against SB 11, legislation passed by the 84th Leg-islature in the summer, which will allow licensed concealed handgun own-ers to legally carry on a college campus starting August 1, 2016. The 52 members signed a list — along with more than 550 other faculty members — that expressed they would not allow concealed carry in their classrooms.

Psychology associ-ate professor Andreana Haley said she believes campus carry is not a good option because of the different activi-ties that take place in the psychology building.

“There are a lot of vulnerable things in our building,” Haley said. “We have a day care cen-ter, a children research lab [and a] free clinic for men-tal help that is staffed with student therapists.”

While this petition is against campus carry, Re-becca Bigler, a psychol-ogy professor who helped

start the effort, said the department is focused on protecting the students.

“[This} accounts for our responsibility to speak out, because this is what we do,” Bigler said. “It comes out of caring for our students … We want to protect the lives of the students at the University of Texas.”

Bigler said look-ing back, members of the department should have spoken out against the legislation before its passage.

“Generally, the faculty would say we were caught off-guard,” Bigler said. “It is hard to keep up with the legislation at each time. We should have all gone down and testified.”

Ellen Spiro, a mem-ber of the group Gun Free UT and a radio-television-film profes-sor, said this statement is important to continue teaching people about campus carry.

“The psychology de-partment’s statement is powerful,” Spiro said. “From our different de-partmental perspectives, it is not easy to get 50 pro-fessors to agree on any-thing. Its quite a feat to see that they did and im-portant in terms of educat-ing why this is wrong for our campus.”

Some of the faculty who signed the petition includ-ed Jacqueline Woolley, professor and chair of the psychology department, and Bertram Gawron-ski, professor and David Wechsler Regents Chair in psychology.

University spokesper-son Gary Susswein said keeping campus safe is the priority at UT. A working group discussing the issue will release recommen-dations on campus carry implementation to UT President Gregory Fenves in November.

“We are working very hard to listen to and under-stand the concerns raised all across campus, including from students and faculty,” Susswein said. “Campus safety and security is our top priority as we imple-ment the new law.”

While the members of the department wanted to make their voices heard against the law, Haley said she is confident the appropriate decision will be made across the UT System.

“There is a lot of pres-sure on the administra-tion to comply with the law,” Haley said. “I trust everyone at the higher levels, that they will take it seriously and be within the compline of the laws.”

LBJ School names new Director of Development

The University appointed Maggie Gilburg as the new director of development for the Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs.

Gilburg, former director of development for the Texas Tribune, said she is excited to take on the position as the LBJ School undergoes a change in leadership. The school currently has an in-terim dean.

”It’s sort of the end of one chapter and the start of another chapter,” Gilburg said. “It’s just a really exciting time to be here, to work on behalf of the school to expand what we’re doing, and to make a contribution.”

As director, Gilburg will lead the fundraising effort for the LBJ School. Gilburg will work with the current in-terim dean and faculty mem-bers to secure endowments, student fellowships and fac-ulty initiatives, in addition to focusing on supporting the LBJ School’s Washington Center in Washington, D.C. Gilburg said the LBJ School will appoint a new dean ef-fective in 2016.

“I have to continue the great momentum that the school has and build on that,” Gilburg said. “[Especially] during this transitional mo-ment between the interim dean and the new dean, [I have to] keep everything running and in shape.”

The LBJ School is current-ly raising $1 million to match the funds given by Luci Ba-ines Johnson, daughter of former president Lyndon B. Johnson, to the Washington Center earlier this year, Gil-burg said.

After this one-year ap-pointment, Gilburg said she “would love to come back” and continue with this posi-tion next year. The appoint-ment was announced Oct. 6.

UT center evacuates following Bastrop fires

Officials ordered a vol-untary evacuation of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Science Park-Research Division after several brush fires were report-ed in Bastrop County earlier Tuesday.

The largest fires, which started in Smithville, were labeled as “high fire dan-ger” by the Austin Fire Department, which also reminded residents to be wary of conditions in t heir area.

“Low humidity and breezy winds, along with no rain in the past sev-eral weeks, makes for a potentially catastrophic combination,” Austin Fire Department said in a Face-book post.

According to fire offi-cials, the fire near UT’s MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Science Park grew more than 50 acres.

UT’s MD Anderson Cancer Center Science Park-Research Division is located in Smithville and so far has had no report of fires damaging struc-tures, according to Ron Gilmore, media specialist at the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center.

“As far as we know, the fire has not affected any structures on our campus,” Gilmore said. “From what I understand, the fire did get to sort of the outlying area of campus.”

Gilmore said campus of-ficials set up an off-campus command center where they are monitoring the current situation with local fire officials.

Study finds students lack teamwork skills

“I think once he explained himself, a lot of his state-ments made a lot of sense, and the other candidates were misinterpreting it,” Giles said. “I don’t think he’s been answering questions as strongly as I expected him to, but his answers on cli-mate were strong.”

On the cost of college, Sanders said he would tax Wall Street to lower inter-est rates around the country and make colleges tuition-free, while Clinton said she believes the “burden-some” costs should be more affordable and that students

should work part-time to help alleviate costs.

Recent polling shows a tight race between Clinton and Sanders, with the other three candidates sitting in the single digits. According to a FOX News poll, Clin-ton receives the support of 45 percent to Sanders’ 25 percent of all Democrats na-tionally, with Vice President Joe Biden at 15 if he were to run.

Doug Snyder, business and government freshman and a member of Univer-sity Democrats who also works for the Travis County Democratic Party, said prior to the debate that he hoped the candidates really answer

the questions instead of go-ing around them.

“I want to see the candi-dates not dance around but actually address the issues that are important to the everyday American people,” Snyder said. “I want to hear them talk about how they can help the individuals who need it in the United States, and that’s what most of the candidates have been doing up until now, so I hope to see some real rheto-ric tonight.”

CBS News will host the next debate on Nov. 14 in Des Moines, Iowa, with CNBC hosting the next Re-publican debate on Oct. 28 in Boulder, Colorado.

Imagine you are at a restaurant, waiting for your date — who was supposed to meet you 30 minutes ago — to arrive. Disappointed that the guy who you thought you had a connec-tion with last week has apparently stood you up, you open up your Peeple app to check your profile. You see a negative comment has been sent to your inbox, and your heart sinks. The guy you were supposed to meet has attempted to post a negative comment about you, saying you “were too obsessive” and “talked about your cats too much.”

Unfortunately, this concept could become reality in November when the app “Peeple” is launched. The app — essentially a “Yelp for people” — will allow users to rate anybody they know on a scale of one to five, as long as the person writing the review is over 21 and can prove identity with a Facebook account. While there is no stopping the launch of the app, the general public needs to understand the detri-mental effects of such a concept. Peeple can ruin self esteem and even lives.

The app will be coded for Androids and

iPhones, making it accessible to nearly 53 per-cent of all cell phone users. The app is worth $7.6 million and has already been revised in response to negative feedback. The companies funding the app are out of touch with people. In no way is this a good idea, and there are not any justifiable reasons to fund such a concept.

In an interview with Newsweek, the app founder Julia Cordray said Peeple is “all about uplifting each other and helping each other and operating from positivity.” Originally, the app allowed negative comments on people’s profiles even if libelous or untrue. However, Cordray recently modified the app to send negative comments directly to the person be-ing reviewed, giving them 48 hours to settle differences between the reviewer and the re-viewee. If the person being reviewed does not have a personal profile on the app, negative comments are not posted.

Despite these “revisions,” there is still a troubling basis to the app. Someone’s per-sonality is ultimately one of the most com-plex compositions in which it is unfair and absurd to assign a number.

Jeff Linwood, journalism lecturer and mo-bile app developer, said he thinks it is up to the users of the app to avoid these abuses of

the service offered. “An endorsement service isn’t necessarily a

bad thing — many people ask for positive, ca-reer-oriented endorsements on the LinkedIn service,” Linwood said. “The differ-ence is that those endorsements come from an identifiable user, so if someone is abusing the system, their profile is tied to those actions.”

Wenhong Chen, an RTF and sociology assis-tant professor, said she is afraid people will endorse the abuse Linwood noted, and said she is confused by how the changes to Peeple will promote positivity. Chen said, for her, the app carries implications of viola-tion of privacy, and she fears it will put “minorities, like women, in a very vulnerable position.”

Despite modifications, the con-cept of rating human beings is still a troubling one. It is important for those who post a review to be in touch with humanity and realize that not all

things can be assigned a numerical value — especially a human being.

Today’s Republican party isn’t Ronald Rea-gan’s Republican Party. If Reagan, the same man who has been repeatedly invoked by the GOP candidates, was still alive today, he wouldn’t be conservative enough to win the Republican Party’s nomination.

Reagan supported an assault weapons ban and the Brady Bill. Reagan granted amnesty for nearly 3 million illegal immigrants. And while Reagan signed the largest tax cut in American history, he also raised taxes on several occasions.

Today, Ben Carson supports the Second Amendment, because it supposedly enables citizens to protect against foreign invasion. Donald Trump wants to deport 11 million il-legal immigrants and make Mexico pay for a wall across the border. And Ted Cruz wants a flat tax and to abolish the IRS.

The rise of the Tea Party has shifted the Re-publican Party so far to the right that the party is marred by an unwillingness to compromise.

Sammy Minkowitz, government and eco-nomics sophomore and social director for College Republicans, said the Tea Party has formed factions in the GOP.

“The result of this fragmentation causes the average views of the party to shift to the right, even though not all conservatives share those far-right views,” Minkowitz said. “Not all Re-publicans are extremists. From my experience, most are more moderate, but moderates don’t get that same media attention.”

The biggest difference, though, between Reagan’s GOP and the GOP that’s being held hostage by the Tea Party isn’t a position, it’s

that opposition to compromise.Reagan worked with both sides of the aisle.

Cruz nearly shut down the government over funding for Planned Parenthood.

The Republican party has changed more in tactics than in ideology, according to govern-ment professor David Prindle.

“Basically [modern-day Republicans] want the same economic policy as Reagan, but they’re willing to shut down the government and de-stroy the economy in order to do it,” Prindle said. “Democracy basically runs on compromise, and the alternative to compromise is basically people shooting at each other. So if you don’t want to be shooting at each other, then you have to compro-mise. That’s often unpleasant, but it’s not as un-pleasant as being shot at.”

As many right-wingers note, Republi-cans aren’t always the only ones refusing to compromise. Democrats’ refusals to com-promise played a role in the 2013 govern-ment shutdown over the Affordable Care Act, according to Minkowitz. Democrats proposed the budget, putting the GOP in a “position to propose changes.”

What’s ultimately troubling is that right-winged extremists in both ideology and tactics — such as Cruz — are legitimate presidential candidates.

If GOP candidates are going to continue to compare themselves to Reagan, they need to start acting like him. The further right the Tea Party shifts the GOP, the more wrong the party becomes. The Republican party is in danger of losing the 2016 election, and shift-ing a tad to the left would actually make the party more “right.”

The irony of the push for more restrictions on campus carry is that it will only result in fewer restrictions or no restrictions at all due to litigation or subsequent legislation.

SB 11 allows concealed carry on campus and universities to “establish reasonable rules … regarding the carrying of concealed hand-guns by license holders on the campus … or on premises located on the campus…” How-ever, the universities “may not establish provi-sions that generally prohibit or have the effect of generally prohibiting license holders from carrying concealed handguns on the campus of the institution.” The working group needs to be careful to not restrict campus carry so much that it brings about litigation.

Opponents of campus carry want to repeal SB 11, which is politically impossible. Even if half of the Republicans in the Senate and House change their minds and send a bill re-pealing SB 11, the earliest this can be done is 2017, when the next legislative session begins, a year after SB 11 goes into effect.

For the slightly more reasonable oppo-nents of campus carry that only want the University to create as many gun-free zones as possible, they are in effect advocating for

the University to risk flaunting the letter and spirit of SB 11. The result of that may be litigation from gun rights groups such as Students for Concealed Carry, which has sued universities in the past for restricting gun rights. Therefore the University working group needs to restrict campus carry as little as possible or face potential litigation.

In such a litigation, the judge may ask if the University followed the intent of the legisla-ture. For example, State Sen. Brian Birdwell, the lead author of SB 11 said that his legisla-tion would allow for very limited, reasonable prohibitions on campus carry. Exemptions for entire dorms or other buildings would not be allowed, he said. If the University goes against the legislative intent of SB 11, it may be forced to redraft the rules.

Another possible consideration in litiga-tion is whether the working group tasked with creating the rules did so objectively. Certain members of the working group have been pub-licly and vocally against campus carry. Having them on the working group is like making the town arsonist the fire chief. It is inappropriate to speculate on the result of any possible litigation, but if it ends up in the Texas Supreme Court, it is notable that all nine justices are Republican. Besides the working group needing to be care-ful in crafting rules, opponents of campus carry are likely counterproductive to their goals.

Regardless of the result of litigation, it is clear that some members of the Texas Legislature are open to passing a bill that eliminates the Uni-versity’s right to create rules restricting campus carry. If some legislators believe the University restricted campus carry too much, they may pass legislation in 2017 that takes away the Uni-

versity’s power to restrict campus carry. This outcome is far more likely than a repeal of SB 11. And the ones that are inadvertently pushing for this outcome are not the supporters of cam-pus carry, but instead the opponents.

Freshman Research Initiative must challenge undergraduates

Rightward shift hurts GOPBy Khadija Saifullah

The University’s College of Natural Sci-ences’ Freshman Research Initiative is the nation’s largest program focused on connect-ing first-year college students to meaningful scientific research. It is unique to the Univer-sity and gives undergraduate underclassmen the opportunity to join a lab and collaborate to enable it to function smoothly.

However, more often than not, under-graduates are merely given a few tasks with-out looking at the big picture of the poten-tial of their participation. Therefore, most students are excluded from a potentially transformative opportunity.

This gap should be addressed by the lead-ership of science professionals, who can or-ganize for undergraduates to be taught the theory behind a lab’s projects and then take over the reins. When given the opportunity, undergraduates have more potential than merely washing test tubes and organizing a graduate student’s lab space.

Research is an integral part of an under-graduate STEM career. It is an opportunity to actively contribute to the world of science, while allowing students to come up with their own solutions to open-ended questions can foster creativity in the classroom.

In order to foster the integral skills of prob-lem solving, underclassmen deserve to be giv-en more opportunities to become involved in the technical performance of a lab. This “pro-fessionalizing” experience has the potential to

transform student lives. Pharmacy graduate student Irnela Bajrovic worked on developing a new form of oral vaccine delivery to protect against the lethal disease Ebola during her time as an undergraduate. Aside from the fas-cinating potential of this project, Bajrovic was also awed by the scientific and humanitarian features of her project.

“Being involved with a project that could transform the lives of many underprivileged communities made me realize the impor-tance of research,” Bajrovic said. “It gives you the opportunity to make a difference, but more importantly, it allows you the op-portunity to change the world on a global scale.”

To be consistent with the 21st centu-ry learning movement of independence in thought and application of classroom knowledge to real life and to improve un-dergraduate education. Creating opportuni-ties for students to work in projects in a lab is a logical extension of applied classroom learning as well as a faster way to become familiarized with aspects of science.

Early-college scientific research has prov-en to improve analytical and technical skills as well as boost students’ confidence in the application of their classroom education to real life, according to the American Society for Cell Biology. The process of articulating a research goal, designing a plan of action and sharing your results with a larger audience will develop skills that continue to serve you throughout your professional life.

to resources,” Flores said. “If different students don’t have equal access to resources based on income, how can we expect the outcome to be fair?”

UT’s student body compo-sition is indicative of a class divide. A 2013 profile of ad-mitted UT students showed over half came from house-holds with yearly incomes above $100,000, which is more than twice the U.S. median. One of these stu-dents, Plan II and biology senior Arushi Pandya, whose father is a computer engi-neer and mother is an IRS accountant, said her fam-ily’s position allowed her to reach her junior year with-out incurring a dime of stu-dent loan debt, giving her a significant advantage.

“College isn’t cheap. Even

coming with the background that I do, I can feel uncom-fortable with the amount of money I spend. So I think about other people who are less fortunate, and I won-der how they even get by,” Pandya said.

The U.S. Department of Education states that low-income students, particu-larly minorities, are the least likely to attain a degree after enrolling in a four-year insti-tution. David Laude, senior vice president for enroll-ment and graduation man-agement, said that at UT, many less affluent students underperform because of the everyday pressures that arise for those with limited financial resources.

“You have the practical side of this, which is that if you can’t pay your bills it’s difficult to focus on study-ing,” Laude said. “If you can’t afford textbooks or

food or keep the lights on, it can be difficult to focus on your grades.”

But Laude said the prob-lem extends to the mindset of students of certain back-grounds, who can often un-derperform because they feel as though they don’t belong.

“There’s also a class issue inserting itself here,” Laude said. “A low-income student will look at other, wealthier students who may have a nicer car, or nicer backpack or nicer clothes. They look at that student and think, ‘I’m not like him, so I must not belong here.’”

Joseph Flores said after being priced out of his apart-ment, he felt a similar sense of disconnect.

“For a lot of us in Riverside who have been priced out, it just feels like we’ve been for-gotten,” Flores said. “It can be easy to wonder if the Univer-sity has forgotten about us.”

ployee, started working for Mitscoots last year, after he lost his job troubleshooting software operational sys-tems. He said his work at Mitscoots has helped him earn other positions, and now, he juggles part-time work in carpentry, painting and sculpting.

“It’s something,” Clifton said. “You don’t get rich — it’s just a couple of hours [per week]. The schedule doesn’t interfere with my other work.”

Tim said one of his most

memorable moments at the company was when one of his employees quit, because he was offered a full-time position elsewhere. A cou-ple of months later, the team was invited to his house-warming party.

“It’s a really weird long-term company strategy to make yourself obsolete,” Tim said. “Ultimately, I would love to not have to give stuff away to anybody because it’s no longer a need — that would mean my company’s irrelevant.”

Tim said he doesn’t think the needs for these

materials will subside. For now, Mitscoots will pro-duce more needed mate-rials and make sure the well-being of the homeless drives every decision the company makes.

“If I go under tomor-row, I absolutely will check success,” Tim said. “It’s three years of my life that I haven’t ever second-guessed. Few times in our lives do we get to have a genuine, substantial im-pact. It’s a way to add a lit-tle meaning to the general-ly meaningless stuff people are doing every day.”

ALBUM REVIEW | ‘THINGS THAT CAN’T BE UNDONE’

With his busy touring schedule, country artist Corb Lund hasn’t released new material since 2012 — yet, he hasn’t lost the touch. His previous release, Counterfeit Blues, reinterpreted some of his most famous songs, prov-ing Lund’s knack for adding a fresh approach to old tracks. With Friday’s release of his lat-est album, Things That Can’t Be Undone, that same talent is on display again.

Since his debut in 1995, Lund has released some of the most diverse modern coun-try albums by incorporating influences from soul music, blues and rockabilly. His last original effort, Cabin Fever, wasn’t flashy but combined Western country with dark and witty rock. He attempts to build off of that success on Things That Can’t Be Un-done, but it diverges in too many directions.

Producer Dave Cobb is likely the main reason for this album’s expansive feeling. His expertise in producing Ameri-cana, most notably on recent Sturgill Simpson albums, has made him the go-to hire for any country-folk artist looking to diversify their next album. However, Things That Can’t Be Undone proves that not every artist should do the same. In many instances, poor produc-tion choices cause Lund to sound out of character.

“Run This Town” was des-tined to become radio’s next big country hit with its simple chord progression — but with Cobb’s influence, the roman-tic tune transforms into an anthemic attempt to please everyone. The pedal steel guitar doesn’t help further Lund’s vocals, and the guest harmonies from Kristen Rog-ers turns what should have been a modest effort into a

modern catch-all country fail-ure. A similar issue occurs on “Goodbye Colorado,” which could have been a classy ode to outlaw country, but exists as a mediocre pop song at best.

Regardless, Cobb’s produc-tion has its benefits. Accom-panied by an out-of-place, Buddy Holly-esque guitar riff, “Sadr City” is one of the most devastating songs on the record. Lund’s haunting lyrics about a veteran, help make the song memorable, with snare drums and reverb in key moments helping the song become the most drain-ing but expertly crafted track on the album.

Some of Lund’s best and worst moments come when he chooses to explore the blues. “Washed-Up Rock Star Fac-tory Blues” is easily the most humorous criticism of the modern music business, and the honky tonk sound feels right up Lund’s alley. Two tracks later, Lund performs “Talk too Much” and finds himself on a similar path, but strays too far from his core musical influences.

By the end of this record, Lund’s musical identity is never found. The majority of tracks are executed well but fall on opposite ends of the coun-try spectrum, meaning Lund

either has a hard time express-ing his message or seeks to please too wide an audience. Things That Can’t Be Undone suffers heavily from the latter.

Newer listeners to Lund’s music might think that his spin on modern country’s often monotonous formula breathes fresh air to the genre, but based on his previous re-leases, Thing That Can’t Be Undone is a step back, rather than a step forward.

Hopefully, Lund can find the time and inspiration to make another record soon, because Things That Can’t Be Undone will be easily forgot-ten. New listeners should try out some of his previous re-leases to get a listening experi-ence that explores one or two of Lund’s variety of influences, rather than all of them at once.

Head coach Shaka Smart stood at the cen-ter of the practice gym at Cooley Pavilion.

In front of and behind him, the guards worked on quick passing and outside shooting. On a side court, the centers worked on their low-post moves.

Everything about it was intense. Players zipped around in their drills. They competed with each other.

“We want to be aggres-sive,” Smart said. “We want to be connected. We want to

be enthusiastic.”Tuesday marked one

month before the Long-horns open their regular season against Washington in Shanghai, China. While Smart said the team has a ways to go before the game, he’s pleased with the team’s current skills.

“We might not have as much in as we would have, but that’s okay,” Smart said. “I think it’s about doing the things you want to do well, rather than having every-thing in.”

Six months ago, Texas hired Smart to replace longtime head coach Rick Barnes. Since arriving

in Austin from Virginia Commonwealth University, Smart has worked to mold the Longhorns to fit his up-tempo system.

One key to the Long-horns’ training this offsea-son: the Navy Seal training Smart led in late September. The training is a tactic he also used during his time at VCU.

Smart said he even had some issues going through the workout.

“They fill up a boat with a bunch of water, and you’ve got to dive in there and make it through,” Smart said. “I think between me and Demarcus Holland,

we probably struggled the most.”

The amped-up training greets a Longhorn lineup largely identical to the team that competed in the Round of 32 in the NCAA tourna-ment two years ago.

Junior guard Isaiah Tay-lor returns after declining to enter the NBA draft. Taylor was a pivotal part of Texas’ offense last year, averaging 13 points and 4.6 assists.

Down low, Texas boasts two seniors in centers Cam-eron Ridley and Prince Ibeh. Each helped the Longhorns lead the Big 12 in field-goal percentage

defense last year.Smart said those

two players will carry the defense.

“We want to protect the rim and support our defense from the back,” Smart said.

While the end of Tues-day’s practice was only open to the media, students and fans can see Smart and the Longhorns in action next Wednesday at an intrasquad scrimmage at Gregory Gym.

Smart said those who at-tend the 6 p.m. game will see a different Texas team.

“It’s going to be the 2015–16 version of Texas,” Smart said.

With just a month left un-til the season starts, men’s basketball head coach Shaka Smart addressed the media following Tuesday’s prac-tice. Here are five takeaways from his first comments of the season:

1. Energy and chemistry:

In the 20 minutes of practice open to the media, the Long-horn practice was incredibly loud and energetic.

Players celebrated a regu-lar jump shot like it was a game winner with chest bumps and high fives. As play picked up, the entire team seemed close-knit and energetic.

2. Up-tempo style: Smart’s

offense will revolve around ball movement and a fast pace. Some of the drills prompted two or three quick passes before taking a shot.

“The practice pace is get-ting to the point where we want it to be,” Smart said. “It’s not all the way there yet, but I think we’ve made some strides.”

3. Bigs: Smart stressed

how important the big men are to the team. Senior cen-ter Cameron Ridley returns to the front-court rota-tion, and junior forward

Shaquille Cleare is eligible af-ter sitting out last year due to NCAA transfer rules. Ridley looked slimmer and showed off touch from the outside in drills, while Smart wants Cleare to provide nastiness and edge.

4. Freshmen: Smart di-

vided the team by class late in practice and spent the entire session with the three freshmen: guard/forward Tevin Mack, guard Eric Da-vis, Jr. and guard Kerwin Roach, Jr.

The three have the potential to contribute early, and Smart spoke positively of their potential.

“I’m not saying any one of them is going to set the world on fire as a freshman,” Smart said. “But I think they all can help us this year in games.”

5. Work in progress: De-

spite the excitement and energy around the pro-gram, Smart said there is still work to do before the season opens.

After the team scrimmages at Gregory Gym next Wednes-day, it will face Tarleton State in an exhibition game on Nov. 6. Acclimating players to the system and setting a rota-tion are key as the start of the season approaches.

“I don’t know what our starting lineup would be,” Smart said. “I think we have a lot of guys that can con-tribute. The difference is when the lights go on in a real game, how the different guys respond.”

with The Daily Texan in 2013. “That’s why I call him Baby. But at first, we didn’t think he was any-thing special. I never saw a Bevo in him, but after he was halter-broken, he just kept getting better and better.”

Bevo XIV’s career was full of memorable mo-ments as a Longhorn,

including Texas’ 2005 Na-tional Championship over the USC Trojans and Presi-dent George W. Bush’s sec-ond inauguration. In addi-tion to appearing at Texas football games, Bevo XIV went to numerous char-ity events and private par-ties in the Austin area. The event proceeds benefited the Neighborhood Long-horns Program, designed to help local students via mentoring and tutoring.

Ricky Brennes, execu-

tive director of the Silver Spurs, said in a press re-lease that Bevo XIV was “a special animal.”

“He truly embraced his role and loved engaging with people at games and special events,” Brennes said. “At his ranch — where he will continue to live — he was clearly the leader of the herd.”

During his tenure, Bevo XIV was most famously seen sitting in the south end zone of Darrell K

Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, serving as a per-manent fixture for Long-horn football. In his time as mascot, Bevo XIV saw two head coaches, seven starting quarterbacks and a string of tumultuous seasons dating back to the Longhorns’ 5-7 2010 sea-son. But despite the team’s struggles, Bevo XIV was always there to represent Texas pride.

“He’s a living symbol of the University of Texas,”

Brennes said in an inter-view with The Daily Texan in 2013.

With Bevo XIV now comfortably on the Bakers’ ranch, the search for Bevo XV will begin as soon as possible. The Silver Spurs Alumni Association will lead the search, aiming to debut a new Bevo by the opening of the 2016 foot-ball season, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Bevo I’s first appearance at a Texas football game.

Longhorns linebacker shines in NFL

Former linebacker Jor-dan Hicks has had an un-expected rise to stardom in his past three games with the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie started his first game against the Dallas Cowboys in week two of the NFL season because of injuries to linebackers Kiko Alonso and Mychal Kendricks. He was noted for the sack that broke Tony Romo’s clavicle, sidelining the quarterback for six weeks. This past week, Hicks re-covered yet another fum-ble and aided in stopping Saints quarterback Drew Brees’ dominant pass of-fense. After just three games, Hicks has record-ed a total of 21 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and an interception and three fumble recoveries.

During his career with the Longhorns, Hicks played behind lineback-ers Emmanuel Acho and Keenan Robinson his freshman year. As a sophomore, he made eight starts, including a Holiday Bowl perfor-mance against Califor-nia, in which he recorded eight tackles, a sack and two tackles for a loss. As a senior in 2014, Hicks recorded 147 tackles, sev-enth best in Texas history. His strong combine per-formance attracted the at-tention of the Eagles, who selected him 84th overall.

Education has long been seen as society’s great equal-izer. Holding a college de-gree dramatically increases a graduate’s job prospects

and potential income, mak-ing higher education one of the most reliable catalysts of social mobility available. But low-income students — who arguably would ben-efit most from attaining a bachelor’s degree — increas-ingly have the most difficulty attaining them.

Whether or not a student succeeds in college is not as

well-predicted by his or her GPA, SAT score or class rank as people might assume. A far more important factor is family income. According to one widely cited analysis by the Century Foundation, the persistent gap in achieve-ment between wealthy stu-dents and disadvantaged ones remains, even when accounting for academic

ability — meaning two stu-dents with identical SAT scores can perform very differently in college based on how much money their parents make.

International relations se-nior Joseph Flores said he believes this is partly because low-income students like him-self are at a disadvantage when it comes to access to cam-

pus resources. He said rising property values in Riverside, a traditional haven of affordabil-ity, has put a strain on many low-income students, forcing them to move further from campus in search of more affordable housing.

“We’re being pushed fur-ther away, yet the resources aren’t being allocated to bring us back to campus,”

Flores said. Flores said this puts poor-

er students at a disadvantage relative to those who live in pricey West Campus, many of whom can simply walk to UT in a matter of minutes, allowing them easier access to libraries, professors and fellow classmates.

“Access to campus is access

While on a donation run, UT alumnus Tim Scott watched as a young boy peeled off a filthy pair of socks he didn’t remember putting on. As Tim handed the boy a new pair, he watched as he began skating across a gym-nasium floor, unable to con-tain his excitement.

After realizing a company dedicated to providing socks to the homeless didn’t exist, Tim and UT alumna Agata Scott decided to create their own. In 2012, the couple started an Indiegogo cam-paign to fund Mitscoots, a company that donates a pair of socks to homeless commu-nities across the country with every purchase. Last week, Mitscoots launched The Out-fitting Project, which expand-ed donations to include hats, gloves and scarves in time for the holidays.

Mitscoots, which Tim said is 100 percent driven by the needs of the homeless, makes all of its merchandise in the U.S. to ensure consumers know where the products are coming from. The com-pany aims to make the socks

functional and sustainable for those who need them to last.

“We’re not trying to sell stuff — we’re trying to sell the idea and belief of the struc-ture,” Tim said. “If the end goal is helping other people, you always know what deci-sions you can and can’t make.”

Mitscoots partners with organizations such as the Salvation Army and Mobile Loaves and Fishes, dona-tion stations that Tim and Agata volunteered at as undergraduates, for larger-scale donations. But some-times, they go on their own, personal donation runs. Tim said whenever the of-fice needs inspiration, the team heads to the Drag or the Austin Resource Cen-ter for the Homeless to pass out socks. Agata said these trips keep the Mitscoots mission alive.

“This is such a joyous thing, to be able to help other peo-ple,” Agata said. “You can see that they feel accepted, loved and a part of something. To me, that’s the biggest reward.”

Tim said Mitscoots also empowers homeless popu-lations by providing em-ployment opportunities. Mitscoots helps men and

women transition out of homelessness by hiring them to work in Mitscoots’ pro-duction. Once they are hired, Tim and Agata can then serve

as references for future e mployment opportunities.

“Socks and beanies and stuff are really just like Band-Aids — they’re good, but

they’re temporary,” Tim said. “There’s a huge other foun-dational issue that has to be addressed. What they need is not more handouts, it’s

more opportunity.”Clifton Hayes, a formerly
