Tom Horton, former presi-dent and CEO of American Airlines, spoke about his perspective on leadership Tuesday as part of the Uni-versity’s VIP Distinguished Speaker Series.

Horton was president, chair-man and CEO of AMR Cor-poration until its merger with US Airways Group formed American Airlines Group, Inc. in December 2013.

After being elected presi-dent of AMR Corporation, then immediately voting with the board of directors to de-clare bankruptcy in one deci-sive 2011 phone call, Horton

said it was his stubbornness and determination that al-lowed him to remain optimis-tic and eventually help turn the company around.

“I had sort of a dogged, maybe persistent, belief in that, and I think people even-tually got behind me — that’s where we landed,” Horton said. “Stubbornness almost to the point of dumb optimism [allowed me to be successful].”

McCombs Undergraduate Dean David Platt, who inter-viewed Horton throughout the talk, said he would em-phasize to students the im-portance of persistence.

“Resilience is vastly under-rated,” Pratt said. “If people could take something away

from him it’s to know that people like him, at the highest levels of [a] company and who influence how everyone else

thinks about it, are really so sin-cerely serious about integrity.”

The Frank Erwin Center has hosted stars ranging from Kevin Durant to Paul McCart-ney, but, after serving Austin as a major event hub for the

past 37 years, the site’s future residents will tend to patients instead of sinking baskets or belting anthems.

The Erwin Center and the adjacent Denton A. Cooley Pavilion site on Red River Street, located across from the

School of Nursing, will be re-located in the next 6-15 years to make room for the new Dell Medical School.

In May of last year, the UT System Board of Regents approved the build-ing plans for the medical

school, which will accept its first class in 2016. According to the Medical District Mas-ter Plan, a teaching hospital will sit on the lot currently occupied by the Erwin Cen-

Texas fought hard for its first Round of 32 win since 2004, but, after a heated back-and-forth match-up with Maryland, the fifth-seeded Longhorns came up 5 points short in a 69-64 loss on fourth-seeded Maryland’s home court.

The UT System has not moved any closer to finding a new chancellor since hir-ing an executive search firm on March 12, according to System spokeswoman Jenny LaCoste-Caputo.

The Frank Erwin Center, located on Red River Street, will alter parking to facili-tate those attending events at the center, according to Weldon.

“Many of their patrons will park in the Trinity Ga-rage and state garages off of Trinity,” Weldon said. “We plan to use directional signage that assists Erwin Center patrons with way-finding [to the center], and those will go up on construction fences once they’re erected.”

Capital Metro spokeswom-an Melissa Ayala said Cap-Metro will also have to imple-ment changes due to the street closure and roadwork.

“Capital Metro will [create] detours around the affected streets when closures begin,”

Ayala said. “We will post signage at stops indicating where riders should catch their bus. As with any street

closure, we assess the affected area and determine where service can be rerouted with the same area.”

Drawing upon Warren Buf-fet, William Shakespeare and George Strait quotes to give business advice to students, Horton emphasized hard work, integrity and humility. Horton said this commitment to ethics could be manifested by a strong belief in capitalism.

“I believe in the golden rule … as a principle proper-ty of business,” Horton said. “We need to be successful in producing a good product for our customers which … will produce security, jobs and hopefully growth in jobs … there’s almost nothing you

can do better for your fellow man than to give him a job.”

Charlie Adkins, chair of the VIP Distinguished Speak-ers Series and business honors and accounting sophomore, said he has been continuously impressed by the affability of the speakers, especially Hor-ton’s commitment to charac-ter and hard work.

“Behind being CEOs of a company, [VIP distinguished speakers] have also been really great people, and I think that’s something that’s really impor-tant to look for in a leaders,” Adkins said. “It really hit home with how you should do nego-tiations and have business and just leadership in general.”

Tuition committee recieves extension

The UT System extended the deadline for a student ad hoc committee to submit a tuition proposal after ad-ministrators at UT formally requested an extension.

The proposal, originally due Wednesday, is now due Friday, according to Kevin Hegarty, UT’s executive vice president and chief fi-nancial officer.

The committee, made up of student leaders, was charged with recommending up to a 2.6 percent increase for in-state undergraduate tuition and a 3.6 increase for out-of-state tuition.

“I appreciate UT System being flexible with us on this one,” said Andrew Clark, Sen-ate of College Councils presi-dent and member of the com-mittee. “It allows us to fully take in all the feedback we’ve gotten from students and fac-ulty and others. We probably could have gotten it done, yes, but this certainly will help us.”

Typically, tuition advisory committees are formed every two years around August to create a proposal for setting tuition, following directives from the UT System Board of Regents. This year, the regents issued a directive halfway through the fall semester that forbade tuition increases for in-state students. As a result, a smaller-than-typical advisory committee — composed of three people — recommended a 3.6 percent tuition increase for out-of-state students.

On Feb. 25, the regents is-sued new instructions that a full committee should be formed to consider an in-state tuition increase of up to 2.6 percent.

The UT System and the tuition advisory committee have both received significant student criticism — the Sys-tem for not allowing enough time for a proposal to be de-veloped, and the committee for failing to provide avenues for broader student input.

Six years after her initial re-quest for public records regard-ing federally built fences along the Texas-Mexico border, UT law professor Denise Gilman has passed a significant barrier in receiving the documents. On March 14, U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the government must disclose names and addresses of those affected by the border wall due to possible discrimination.

In 2006, the U.S. Congress passed the Secure Fence Act, which mandated the con-struction of a 670-mile wall along the border of the U.S. and Mexico. Gilman, also co-director of the law school’s Immigration Clinic, said when she requested access to the fence records in 2008, the government only released a “handful of documents” — all heavily redacted. Gilman sued for the withheld infor-mation under the Freedom of Information Act in 2009 as of Tuesday.

Gilman said she still has not received the records

from the government.“It was a very long and te-

dious process to obtain gov-ernment documents that are critical to a proper and full understanding of border wall construction in South Texas,” Gilman said. “I was genuinely surprised to see the government put up so much resistance to making information about this massive infrastructure project publicly available, particularly in a time of increased emphasis on government openness.”

Barbara Hines, law profes-sor and co-director of the law school’s Immigration Clinic, said the records should give important insight into the government’s decision-mak-ing process regarding the wall’s placement.

“The records will be useful to learn who the affected landown-ers were — that is, those whose land was taken for the construc-tion of the border wall — and to determine whether low-income residents were treated differ-ently than those more wealthy residents,” Hines said.

Although construction of the fences is already completed, Gilman plans to make the new

records publicly available online and to conduct additional anal-ysis on the new information.

“I hope that the decision will increase government transpar-ency and accountability in the

future as similar border proj-ects are considered, such as proposals for additional wall

construction or enhanced Bor-der Patrol presence along the border,” Gilman said.

The College of Liberal Arts is planning to offer a new pre-college summer program for high school students that will help them explore their interests and prepare for college.

The three-week program, offered through a company called Summer Discovery, will allow high school stu-dents to take courses taught by UT faculty in subjects such as law, psychology and philosophy. Students can also meet with academic and ca-reer advisers to explore pos-sible careers and gain skills to help them transition to college. The full program will cost each student $4,999, which includes housing at the Callaway House.

“There are summer camps all over the University for [radio-television-f i lm], business [and] communi-cations,” said Marc Musick, senior associate dean of stu-dent affairs in the College of Liberal Arts. “For years, we’ve thought that Liberal Arts has something to of-fer, and we’ve finally been able to partner with Sum-mer Discovery and make

it happen.”Musick said the college

decided to offer the new pro-gram to attract more students to the University by giving them a chance to experience a taste of college life.

“Since students will get to actually take classes, but it won’t go on their grade report, they’ll find out what it’s like to do college-level work in a way that’s inter-esting and not as stressful,” Musick said.

The University expects to enroll about 85 students in the program this summer, according to Musick.

“Since [the program] is new, it’s been hard to get peo-ple excited and get the word out, but we’re hoping to get a lot of Texas students,” Musick said. “As time goes on, we ex-pect that enrollment over the years will grow.”

Bob Musiker, executive director of Summer Discov-ery, said pre-college sum-mer programs help students transition to college more effectively by providing aca-demic guidance and boost-ing students’ confidence.

“Beyond the academics, they learn time manage-ment, cooperative living

and living with a room-mate,” Musiker said.

John Paul Napleton, in-ternational relations and global studies sophomore, said the summer program he went to in the McCombs School of Business helped prepare him for college.

“The program not only gave me a taste of what the business school is all about, but also gave me a great group of friends,” Naple-ton said. “It most definitely played a major influence in my decision to attend UT and excited me for the col-lege experience.”

These issues factored heav-ily into the projections for relocation of the Erwin Cen-ter made in both the 2013 Campus Master Plan and the subsequent Dell Medical School Master Plan, accord-ing to architecture professor

Lawrence Speck, who partici-pated in both planning efforts.

“When a building gets to be that old, you have to invest a whole lot of money in upgrad-ing it, or you have to think of replacing it,” Speck said. “Do you spend a whole lot of mon-ey — and it will [take] a whole lot of money — to bring it back up to high performance standards? Or do you think that money might be better in-vested in a new facility?”

The University has not con-ducted a study to estimate the cost of restoring the Erwin Center to a competitive level for modern events, but Rhon-da Weldon, University Opera-tions director of communica-tion, said “millions would not be a surprising figure.” Accord-ing to Weldon, there is “a rath-er large ballpark” for potential rehabilitation costs.

Rumors abound concern-ing potential new locations, but the two most likely candi-dates at this point appear to be land owned by the University on the east side of I-35 and the Austin American-Statesman’s lot across from Lady Bird Lake, according to multiple reports including an article in the Statesman last week.

Both sites come with their own share of problems. The land the University owns along Manor Road would have many of the same issues

the Erwin Center currently ex-periences because of traffic on the highway’s feeder road.

The Statesman and the Texas Department of Trans-portation currently occupy the lot on South Congress, and both entities would have to agree to sell the property. The lot does meet many of the school’s requirements for the space: It’s reasonably close to campus, near a vi-brant downtown area and adjacent to I-35.

Texas men’s basketball head coach Rick Barnes, whose team plays its home games in the Erwin Center, said he looks forward to a new arena, which he thinks will boost fan attendance. Texas ranked 32nd national-ly in home-game attendance in 2013 — averaging 10,495 fans a game, well below the arena’s capacity at 16,755.

“I’m excited for the future of this program when we build a new [arena],” Barnes said. “We know a building this size should have half the size its surface parking. The minimum would be 5,000. We’ve got less than 500.”

Texas head men’s athletic director Steve Patterson de-clined to comment.

Crowd noise is limited in the arena because of the dis-tance between fans and the court. The fans are far away

from the floor at the Erwin Center, which limits the crowd noise in the arena. Many of the loudest venues in college basketball, such as Kansas’ Al-len Fieldhouse, have similar seating capacities as the Erwin Center but are smaller facili-ties, able to trap noise.

Some members of the bas-ketball team say a new arena could be beneficial.

“I’d like the fans to be clos-er, so they can be more into the game,” sophomore center Prince Ibeh said. “It’s more

spaced out in the Erwin Center, and [the lack of noise] makes it tough to get into the game.”

But there are needs other than basketball to consider, according to Matthew Payne, Austin Sports Commission executive director. The Er-win Center has served com-munity purposes for nearly four decades, hosting huge music acts, high school state championships and UT com-mencement ceremonies.

Payne says the commu-nity requires a dynamic

multipurpose facility such as the Erwin Center to host large-scale events. Austin has hosted international and na-tional events before, sporting and otherwise, and Payne said he hopes it remains that way.

“I think it needs to be close to downtown,” Payne said. “It truly needs to be a community facility, along with taking care of the needs to the University. The Erwin Center has been a great facil-ity for a long time, so I’m sure they’ll get it right.”

fully committed to finding a new chancellor who is worthy of leading one of the finest and most prominent public universities in America and the world,” Foster said in a statement from the System. “We will not settle until we have the right person for this extraordinary responsibility.”

According to reports from The Texas Tribune, Gov. Rick Perry is encouraging the board to consider Kyle Janek, Health and Human Services Executive commissioner, for the position. Perry does not have appointment power in selecting the chancellor — that decision is ultimately up to the Board of Regents. Perry’s office did not imme-diately respond to a request for comment.

While announcing his res-ignation, Cigarroa said the existing tensions between President William Powers Jr. and members of the Board of Regents did not factor into his decision to step down. An email to Cigarroa from Fos-ter, originally obtained by The Dallas Morning News, sug-gested Regent Wallace Hall accused Cigarroa of not doing his job weeks before Cigarroa announced his resignation.

Hall is currently being in-vestigated by the House Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations for overstepping his role as a regent by filing open record requests for over 800,000

pages of information, accord-ing to Kevin Hegarty, UT executive vice president and chief financial officer. Indi-viduals at the System have said his requests amounted to only 100,000 pages of information.

William Cunningham, for-mer chancellor and former UT president, said he thinks it’s important for the chancel-lor to be able to work closely with all of the regents and the presidents at the various insti-tutions within the System.

“The chancellor must be able to work with the presi-dents and the regents, and that’s not always easy,” Cun-ningham said. “The regents are your bosses, [and] your job is to keep them informed and to shape their decision mak-ing process. You play a special role as chancellor in helping the regents understand what the issues are and also helping them understand the position the System should take.”

Cunningham said it is vital for a chancellor to preserve UT’s academic prowess.

“They need to understand UT-Austin’s historical role that it has played in the develop-ment of the System and also UT-Austin’s academic flagship status — that must never be questioned,” Cunningham said. “If you have a chancellor who said, ‘I’m not really sure if we should differentiate between the component institutions,’ or ‘I’m not sure UT-Austin should be the flagship academic insti-tution,’ that person will not be successful and will not do a good job as chancellor.”

HORNS DOWN: LIME PRICES RISING, TEX-MEX DISHES THREATENED

For the first time in UT history, there will be a time-restricted giving campaign that focuses primarily on raising funds from current students instead of alumni: “40 Hours for the Forty Acres”. After years of throwing away charity mail, you have probably grown too desensitized for the previous sentence to mean anything to you. But that shouldn’t be the case. Because this time, the organization asking for your do-nation is one that you are inextricably tied to — this University. And our University badly needs extra funds.

As Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Kevin Hegarty told The Daily Texan last semester, state funding has been declin-ing for the last 26 years. Student budget ad-visory leaders have recently proposed what most of us would consider the last resort — raising tuition, which has been frozen for the last four years.

Though donating does not necessarily drastically shift the tuition conversation, it certainly helps with the central issue of budgetary deficiencies.

“Many students don’t know this, but only 24 percent of the UT budget is covered by tuition,” said Julie Lucas, assistant director of development for the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. “That would mean a student’s year might end in mid-November if we were solely dependent on [tuition] dollars. By being a part of the giving tradition now, you ensure better education and resources for not only your class but for future Longhorns too.”

Another major reason donations are so important is that it affects our nationwide ranking. The U.S. News and World Report confirmed just last month that alumni

giving is a data point that plays into their ranking system. It’s no coincidence, for in-stance, that Princeton is ranked first on that organization’s college list and also has the second-highest alumni giving rate in the country — 61 percent.

“When alumni are giving back, at any amount, ranking corporations see it as a vote of confidence in the school,” said Luke Ward, campaign committee member and communication studies and corporate communication senior.

With a current alumni giving rate of only 32 percent, it’s hard not to speculate about how many accomplished professors, students and staff we have foregone, in-hibiting our academic reputation, ranking and admissions. This campaign presents the opportunity to increase that giving rate so that it is actually an accurate dem-onstration of student’s enormous pride in our school.

“Many of our students are very philan-thropic and donate time and energy to a number of great organizations around the community but often don’t realize that it is also important to give back to UT,” Ward said. “The overall idea, for both alumni and students, is to foster a culture of burnt or-ange philanthropy that will become a fun, annual tradition for years to come.”

Any specific donation can go toward the donor’s cause of choice, be it a certain col-lege, department, program or initiative. Fortunately, almost all colleges and more than 20 student organizations have already jumped on the “40 for Forty” initiative and begun raising funds.

The 40-hour campaign starts at 12:40 a.m. April 3 and ends at 4:40 p.m. April 4, but the multi-platform strategy online and on campus has made the campaign practi-cally unavoidable. Students interested in giving can either attend the live student campaign on Gregory Plaza from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 4 or make their gift online at 40for40.utexas.edu.

Though it definitely won’t be easy to ig-nore the campaign’s flurry of social media activity, substantial representation by col-leges and organizations and finale event on Gregory Plaza, you certainly could keep your checkbook closed throughout it. But I urge you to think twice about how you show your support for your edu-cation. If you don’t think that the Univer-sity giving you your degree is worth any more of your time or money, nobody else will either, including employers and other universities.

Even if you can only give a single dollar, your participation speaks louder than your monetary contribution. Ultimately, it sends the message to everyone both here at UT and anywhere else that our University is an institution worth supporting.

According to a report by KUT News on Tuesday, lime prices have been on the rise in recent months — which is clearly bad news for a city fueled by happy hour margari-tas and lime-garnished Tex-Mex. In the face of rising lime costs, some restaurants have even started cutting back on usage of the citrus fruit to conserve product on hand. South Austin eatery La Moreliana has stopped garnishing

its tacos with the fruit, for example. The report concluded that the rising prices may be tied to cartel violence in the Mexican state of Michoacan or to a spate of recent flooding in neigh-boring states. Whatever the cause, Horns Down to rising lime prices, and let’s hope we’ll always be able to get a good deal on Mexican Martinis at Trudys’ happy hour.

On March 26 from 5:45 to 8 p.m., the Latino-Jewish Student Coalition’s Third Annual Freedom Seder, a meal that brings together Latino and Jewish students on our campus through the sharing of tra-ditions and stories, will be held at Texas Hillel.

The traditional seder is a ritual meal during the Jewish holiday of Passover, which celebrates the Jewish people’s exo-dus from slavery in Egypt and subsequent journey to the land of Israel.

While Passover marks the flight from the despair of shackles to the joy of free-dom, we remember that not everyone has had the opportunity to join along in the journey.

At our seder, over an untraditional

Passover meal of enchiladas, we will highlight stories of current immigration and labor struggles facing the Latino community and the quest to find a new home in the United States along with stories of cooperation between these communities.

Undocumented UT students will share their experiences along with student ac-tivists and community members who have done ground-breaking work in bringing communities together and organizing for social justice causes.

Ultimately, this seder is part of some-thing much larger stirring on UT’s cam-pus. The Latino-Jewish Student Coalition, the organizers of the event and of which I am a member, launched three years ago with the goal of bringing two wonderfully rich and culturally unique communities together to partner in creating proactive social change in our community.

The organization began based on the premise that Latinos and Jews are over-whelmingly unfamiliar with each other’s history, culture and issues, but, when given the opportunity to meet and learn about the other, these communities can be an unstoppable force for positive social change from a campus to national level.

The coalition has created a strong prec-edent for cross-cultural collaboration that can be applied to any two communities. We have had the opportunity to become friends and allies, celebrate each other’s holidays and successes, and stand in soli-darity against bigotry and hate on our campus and in our community.

The seder is a culmination of all of our efforts on campus, and it will end with a persuasive call for community action.

HORNS DOWN: URBAN RAIL PLAN STRUGGLES TO CROSS RIVER

Two legislative committees considered pressing crimi-nal justice issues Tuesday. In the first hearing of the day, the Texas House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee heard testimony on whether to raise the age at which a criminal is considered an adult. Currently, Texas, which treats 17-year-olds as adults, is one of just 10 states that set that bar below 18. However, some are advocating an

increase to bring Texas in line with the majority of the states. In the hearing, Houston Dem-ocrat John Whitmire, chairman of the Texas Senate Criminal Justice Committee, blasted the Texas Juvenile Justice Department, claiming it suffered from inefficient spending, high re-arrest and re-incarceration rates, and a failure to sufficiently segregate violent offenders from non-violent offenders. Horns down to the Juvenile Justice Department’s abysmal per-formance and the state’s continued outlier treatment of youth.

On Monday, the Austin American-Statesman reported that building a bridge or tunnel for the Urban Rail line to cross Lady Bird Lake could cost anywhere between $75 million and $475 million to construct. The rail line plans cut through downtown, and the city originally enter-tained the possibility of crossing the river along the I-35 overpass until recent talks with the Texas Department of

Transportation ruled out the possibility. Understandably, the city is moving on to back up plans. But the projected bill — with its $400 million range — raises concerns about what the new plans will look like, and we will likely not have a clear understanding until an upcoming May proposal.

Understandably, the city is moving on to back up plans. But the projected bill — with its $400 million range — raises concerns about what the new plans will look like, and we will likely not have a clear understanding until an upcoming May proposal.

BIOPHILICcontinues from page 8 “[Businesses] see the value

of connecting to students in real time,” Zak said. “[They] are seeing the value of stay-ing connected with current customers and getting new ones when they might not be busy. They love the way it is embedded in students’ routines in the moment.”

Currently, UMeTime is one of the top most-down-loaded apps in the iTunes store for the area, and over 20,000 UT students have downloaded it.

Varela mentioned that it’s taken some work for busi-nesses to get on board with the app because of the tech-nology involved.

“Some are a little bit old-school in the sense that they still aren’t up-to-date

with mobile,” Varela said. “They’re starting to notice their target audience is start-ing to be more mobile. Once they understood, they want-ed to have fun with this.”

Even with the initial learning curve, the team has seen its business take off, each month topping the last in terms of down-loads and profit. The app will expand to the Univer-sity of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin this May.

“You might completely fail, but it doesn’t matter because you learned some-thing along the way,” Zak said. “If you have an idea, just go for it and make it happen and don’t be afraid of it failing.”

“Biophilic Design.”“Architects and designers

are often not as oriented toward the word as toward the visual,” Kellert said. “What we had written be-fore about biophilic design weren’t getting as much exposure to designers and architects as I would have liked. Whenever I showed people a slideshow, that would elicit more reactions than the writings, so we de-cided to do a film.”

Timothy Beatley, one of the people featured in the film, is a professor at the University of Virginia who has been working in the area of sustainable com-munities for more than 25 years.

“Much of the film has to do with biophilic design at an architectural level — building level,” Beatley said. “My focus and interest level has been of commu-nity and city. How do we create biophilic cities? How do we create conditions for biophilic urbanism and liv-ing beyond the design of a single building?”

Finnegan said, because the film has screened at festivals such as the Envi-ronmental Film Festival in Washington, D.C., and the Architecture and Design Film Festival in New York, he and Kellert have accom-plished what they set out to do.

“It’s an educational film with a strong, professional audience that is interested in the relationship be-tween people and nature,” Finnegan said. “People gravitate towards the win-dow office. They respond better to natural light than artificial light. Biophilic design understands we are programmed to have this affinity for nature just based on our long evolved relationship with it.”

was in a very male-heavy environment.”

Still, Lo said there is a shortage of women in the business world and attri-butes the shortfall to the fact that women are responsible for caregiving.

“I think there are not enough, but it’s hard because women are the ones who have babies,” Lo said. “Until men can bear children, there is no other option.”

Lo, a mother of two, made the decision to hire someone to help care for her children while she continued to grow her business.

“My typical morning is I wake up at 5 a.m., my last appointment today is at 6:30, and then we have a playdate at 7:00,” Lo said. “I think I have a total of, like, eight meetings today. It’s a busy day, but I’m okay with that. For me, balance is being able to provide for my family, and I know what lifestyle I like and I know what I have to do from an income standpoint to make it work.”

She describes herself as a professional multitasker and an ambitious go-getter who relies on her network of cli-ents, family, friends and Mi-crosoft Excel in order to suc-ceed daily. But she concedes that she is still a human.

“As independent as I am and as confident as I can be, there are times where you’re just hesitant,” Lo said. “Women — I’ve per-sonally found — are more critical on themselves. It’s one of those things you’ve kind of got to get over.”

Lo decided early in her life that she wanted to pur-sue an independent life-style, and she hopes that her children and future genera-tions will be able to enjoy the freedom to make the same choices.

“I explain to my daugh-ter that I want her to be in-dependent enough to make [her] own decisions and be able to have that freedom,” Lo said. “You have to de-cide what you want out of your life.”

Rare Tennessee Williams story found in Harry Ransom Center

NEW YORK — Before his mother became the model for Blanche DuBois of “A Streetcar Named De-sire” and his sister the inspi-ration for Laura Wingfield of “The Glass Menagerie,” Tennessee Williams drew upon a college girlfriend — if only in name — to tell a story of desire, drunkenness and regret.

“Crazy Night” is a work of short fiction unseen by the general public until this month’s release in the spring issue of The Strand Magazine, a quarterly based in Birmingham, Mich. The story is narrat-ed by a college freshman who confides about his ro-mance with a senior, Anna Jean. Williams, while at-tending the University of Missouri at Columbia, briefly dated fellow stu-dent Anna Jean O’Donnell

and wrote poetry about her.

“[‘Crazy Night’’s] seems to have been written when Wil-liams was rather young — probably around the 1930s,” said Strand managing editor Andrew Gulli, who has previously unearthed works by Mark Twain, Jo-seph Heller and Robert Louis Stevenson.

Gulli found the story in UT’s Harry Ransom Cen-ter, one of the country’s top literary archives.

“Crazy Night” is set at an unnamed campus in the early ’30s, after the stock market crash of October 1929 and before the 1933 repeal of pro-hibition, when “students graduating or flunking out of college had prac-tically every reason for getting drunk and little or nothing that was fit

to drink.” Even in more restric-

tive times, Williams wrote openly about sex, and “Crazy Night” includes a scene in which male students, most of them freshmen and virgins, are brought into a room and paired off with girls for a night of debauchery.

In “Crazy Night,” the nar-rator loses Anna Jean to an-other student but not before they enjoy “the ultimate de-gree of intimacy.”

“Both her arms were lifted toward me,” Wil-liams writes. “I had fall-en between them. And the rest of what hap-pened between us was a blind thing, almost in-voluntary, drawing from us both something that seemed hardly a part of ourselves.”

UT’s fastest growing sport doesn’t compete at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Sta-dium or on the court at the Frank Erwin Center. In fact, this sport doesn’t even take place on the 40 Acres. It hap-pens on Lake Austin — with the help of a rod and reel.

The Texas bass fishing team has more than doubled in size since its founding in 2008. Af-ter starting with just seven ac-tive members and a few spon-sors, the team now has 15 fishermen and eight sponsors.

“The Texas bass team was pretty small when I joined,” said Cody Levy, public rela-tions senior and team presi-dent. “I became president of the team with a goal of fish-ing more tournaments, gain-ing more members and se-curing more sponsorships to

help with expenses. This year, we have started right where we left off and have been growing and securing bigger and better sponsorships.”

Wade Middleton, director of collegiate operations for the Association of Collegiate An-glers, said collegiate fishing, even outside of Texas, is grow-ing at an unprecedented rate.

“There are now over 250 schools nationwide that ac-tively compete yearly,” Mid-dleton said. “College fishing has grown about 400 percent since the ACA had its first event nine years ago.”

The Texas team hosted its first ever competition, the University of Texas Colle-giate Invitational, on Lake Austin last Sunday.

“This is an Association of Collegiate Anglers event for all colleges,” Levy said. “I think everyone is going to talk about for it for years because

it is the first college fishing tournament that guarantees all anglers will be rewarded with at least some [equip-ment] after the competition.”

In a collegiate bass fish-ing tournament, each school sends at least one team of one or two anglers who fish from the same boat for eight hours. If an angler wants to fish alone, the tournament director may assign a non-fishing observer to accompany the angler. Teams are scored based on the combined weight of their five heaviest bass of at least 15 inches in length.

“Largemouth bass, spot-ted bass and smallmouth bass are counted,” Levy said. “Bass presented for weigh-in that fail to measure the offi-cial length are not counted.”

Of the 10 schools that competed in Sunday’s tour-nament, the Longhorns’ top pairing of Carter Lyon and

Carlos De La Fuente fin-ished eighth overall, with a combined weight of 17.52 pounds. Texas A&M-Cor-pus Christi’s top duo won the event with a combined weight of 26.79 pounds.

The result may not have been what Texas was look-ing for, but the team’s

passion and desire to succeed remains as high as ever.

“When I went through a breakup, that feeling didn’t even come close to the pain I was feeling when I lost a bass while fishing,” Levy said. “No matter what I go through, I will always be a fisherman and never give up.”

Gone fishing: UT bass team growing in popularity

After the No. 12 Long-horns beat Texas State 5-1 Tuesday night at UFCU Disch-Falk Field, the fans rose to their feet, chanting “Augie” as the Longhorn players all tipped their caps to head coach Augie Garrido.

And rightfully so. With the win, Garrido became the winningest coach in the his-tory of college baseball.

With his 1,894th win, Gar-rido, who was already the winningest coach in Divi-sion I history, passed Gordon Gillespie for the record. Gil-lespie coached at Lewis Uni-versity (Division II), Ripon College (Division III) and St. Francis (NAIA).

“The only thing 1,894 wins proves is that you are old,” Garrido said. “But it still feels good.”

Garrido — who is in his 45th year of coaching — has been at Texas since 1997, gar-nering 739 of the 1,893 victo-ries on the 40 Acres, includ-ing two championships. At Cal State-Fullerton, Garrido won 929 games and three na-tional championships. He has

also coached at Illinois, Cal Poly and San Francisco State.

“I get the credit, but it belongs to everyone,” Garrido said.

Texas jumped all over the Bobcats (15-9) early as ju-nior pitcher Lukas Schiraldi completely shut down Texas State. He held them to just one hit in eight innings to improve a team ERA that ranks fifth in the nation.

“[Schiraldi] is the best Tuesday night pitcher in col-lege baseball,” Garrido said.

Texas (20-6) scored two runs in the first and second to open it up early and give Schiraldi (4-1) a nice cush-ion. Sophomore right fielder Collin Shaw put the Long-horns on the board with an RBI fielder choice, barely legging out a double-play grounder with the bases loaded to score sophomore left fielder Ben Johnson. Freshman catcher Tres Bar-rera then followed with a single up the middle to push the lead to 2-0.

The Longhorns scored two more in the second, highlighted by sophomore shortstop C.J Hinojosa’s RBI double off the top of the left

field wall. J o h n s o n then led the fourth with a monster home run off the Longhorns’ sign well beyond the left field fence.

The Longhorns have al-lowed just three runs in the last 45 innings. They will travel to Texas Tech this weekend for their second Big 12 series, but they won’t soon forget Garrido’s new title.

“It’s something I’ll be able to tell my kids and grandkids: that I got to play for the greatest college baseball coach of all time,” Johnson said.

Man charged for hit-and-run against former UT runner

Joseph Cantu, 34, has been charged with failure to stop and render aid in the hit-and-run death of former UT track and field athlete Philip Wood, according to the Austin American-Statesman.

Cantu turned himself in on March 10, about a week after the early morning crash on MoPac that left the 22-year-old Wood dead at the scene. Wood was a long distance runner for the Longhorns from 2009-2010 and from 2011-2012.

The collision occurred at the 2500 block of MoPac Boulevard at 2:15 a.m. March 2. After receiving several calls from pedestri-ans, emergency responders performed CPR on Wood, but he was pronounced dead at 2:29 a.m.

Police said Wood was walking west across northbound lanes of the highway when he was struck by a car traveling on the inside lane.

Cantu’s bail has been set at $25,000 for the sec-ond-degree felony, which carries a maximum pun-ishment of 20 years in prison, according to the Statesman. However, Cantu was not in custody Tuesday.

A court setting in the case is scheduled for May 29.

BASEBALL | (12) TEXAS 5, TEXAS STATE 1

Aside from their tough nonconference schedule, one of the biggest issues for the Longhorns this season has been a lack of consistency.

Through 34 games this year, Texas has two winning and losing streaks of at least four games, due mainly to a new pitching staff and an inability to knock in base runners.

After a big 4-1 win over Baylor to open conference play, the Longhorns have a chance to improve on their consistency with upcom-ing games against non-con-ference opponents Texas A&M Corpus Christi and Texas State.

One of the biggest reasons for Texas’ inconsistency is that the team struggles to take advantage of run-scor-ing opportunities. Although the Longhorns rank fourth

in the nation with a .341 bat-ting average and hold a .415 on-base percentage, moving runners across the plate has been a problem.

The Longhorns have scored 187 runs this season but have left 269 runners on base. The inability to plate runs reflects the team’s over-all record. Texas struggled early in the year, particularly in a loss against UTSA on Feb. 12 when the Longhorns loaded the bases in five in-nings, but only managed to score only twice.

The opposite happened in the first game of double header at North Texas on March 11. The Longhorns took full advantage of their opportunities in the first in-ning, scoring six runs and sending 12 batters to the plate in the frame.

While run-scoring has marginally improved for the team this season, it’s still a

concern entering into the bulk of conference play. In the Big 12 opener at Baylor on Saturday, Texas left a run-ner at second base in each of the first three innings be-fore senior catcher Mandy Ogle scored with a three-run home run in the fourth.

Texas will have a good op-portunity to improve its con-version of run-scoring oppor-tunities tonight, as it hosts a Texas A&M Corpus Christi team that the Longhorns have dominated in the past.

The Islanders enter the game with a 7-23 record overall and a 2-7 record in the Southland Conference. None of Texas A&M Cor-pus Christi’s pitchers have an ERA under five and, as a team, the Islanders have given up just over seven runs per game. Freshman pitcher Liz Carter leads the team with a 6-11 record and 5.61 ERA.

Texas Relays to open outdoor season

TRACK & FIELD

This week’s Texas Relays marks the beginning of out-door competition for the Longhorns. The meet, which takes the top athletes from 652 high schools, 232 col-leges and nine countries, will show how Texas stacks up against elite competition.

Heading into his first out-door season as head coach, Mario Sategna knows how important the Texas Relays can be.

“You set the tone early,” Sat-egna said. “It sends a message to not only the conference, the Big 12 but also [the nation].”

The meet is the outdoor season debut of national champion sophomore pole-vaulter Kaitlin Petrillose and the rest of the Long-horn NCAA Indoor Na-tional Championship team.

The 4x400 meter relay team consisting of senior Briana Nelson, sophomore Court-ney Okolo, freshman Kendall Baisden and junior Ashley Spencer also returns to action. The group hopes to improve upon their second place finish at the indoor national meet.

“Just the fact that you’re outside on a track and it’s only one lap, I feel like it just makes it faster,” Okolo said.

Sophomore decathlete Johannes Hock, last year’s

outdoor national champion, did not compete during the indoor season after under-going Tommy John surgery.

Due to the surgery, the right-handed Hock will throw the javelin with his left hand. Despite this tweak in his style, Hock is excited for what’s to come this season.

“Indoors is always a little different for us because we train outdoors year-round,” Hock said. “I think Texas Relays is going to be the first meet where we can really show what we’ve been work-ing on in the winter.”

The competition will take place Wednesday through Saturday at Mike A. Myers Stadium.

All-time winner: Garrido sets record

LOSScontinues from page 1for Thomas.

Maryland’s all-time lead-ing scorer made a quick shot from above the key early in the half, and it spurred her to a 16-point performance in the frame, which proved to be the game high.

An easy layup by freshman

guard Brianna Taylor slowed the Terps down a little and ignited the Longhorns, so much so that junior guard Krystle Henderson acciden-tally pushed Taylor to the ground in an attempt to give her a congratulatory shove.

But Texas eventually lost control and allowed Maryland to create a 10-point lead with just over four min-

utes to go. The Longhorns rallied to within one after a sophomore center Imani McGee-Stafford layup with 1:38 remaining, but couldn’t complete the comeback.

A missed 3-pointer by freshmen forward Nekia Jones in the final seconds allowed Maryland to avoid overtime and sent the Terps into the Sweet 16.

The only thing 1,894 wins proves is that you are old. But it still feels good.

When the creators of UMeTime were looking for an ideal place to test their app, a college campus full of hungry students quickly came to mind.

UMeTime Corp., an Aus-tin-based startup, helps users find new spots to eat on cam-pus by offering daily deals to college students.

Childhood friends Tim Rothwell and Brett Berman first started the business af-ter graduating from college. They were inspired to create the app after realizing the majority of their money in college went to food from accessible and convenient restaurants. They wanted to change this by finding a way to offer students cheaper, better options.

Chief Marketing Officer Kristian Zak and Sales and Marketing Director Kyle Nathanson, friends of the co-founders, joined the team and, after building and test-ing the product in Los Ange-les, moved to Austin to target UT students. Austin is the first city to have access to the finished app.

“The culture in Austin is ideal,” Zak said. “It’s attrac-tive to us to build a company around other startups who are in the same situation. UT is probably the strongest brand in the nation and, if we could crack UT, we feel like we could expand anywhere.”

UT alumnus Robert Varela joined the team after he saw its information posted on the McCombs job board.

“I saw a great opportunity, plus I envisioned exactly

what I’m living right now,” Varela said. “If I have an idea to present, I’ll just share it with the team and, more than likely, it’s going to be executed the next day. It’s everything I’ve wanted and even more.”

The app shows three-hour deals called Blastouts, with the geographically closest deals listed at the top. Each restau-rant offers several deals per day, so the app is constantly updating to reflect the time, with breakfast coupons in the morning and more snack items in the afternoon. Rather than spending money on the app and maybe never redeeming the offers, users can only click redeem once they are physi-cally inside the restaurant and show the app to the employee upon purchase.

This stream of deals spe-cifically targeting students, combined with on-site purchases, set UMeTime apart from companies such as Groupon. Right now, about 50 on-campus restaurants participate.

Environmentally con-scious interior design could influence the way human beings connect to nature while seated at a desk, according to design experts Bill Finnegan and Stephen Kellert.

With their 2011 docu-mentary film, “Biophilic Design: The Architec-ture of Life,” directors Finnegan and Kellert have tried to show how bio-philically designed build-ings and living spaces can bring people closer to na-ture. The film will screen at The Contemporary Aus-tin’s Spring 2014 Rooftop

Architecture Film Festival this Wednesday.

Biophilic design is an architectural concept based on the biophilia hy-pothesis. Biophilia means “love of living systems or life,” and was coined by bi-ologist and naturalist Ed-ward Wilson to describe human beings’ affinity for nature.

“Biophilic design is about how nature affects us,” Finnegan said. “It’s all about people. Buildings us-ing biophilic elements, like natural lighting or nature landscapes, can either con-nect us or disconnect us from nature.”

Key features of a biophil-ic design include natural

lighting, shapes and forms that are analogous to natu-ral processes or features and natural ventilation, Kellert said. Incorporating landscape features, such as ponds, fountains and bon-sai plants, as well as de-sign elements like potted plants, recreate the feeling of being outdoors while inside buildings.

Finnegan and Kellert’s 60-minute documentary covers select buildings from Europe and the Unit-ed States that implement biophilic design principles in their construction, in-cluding the Ronald Rea-gan Washington National Airport, Oberlin College, the Oxford Museum of

Natural History and the Bank of America Tower in New York City.

Another building fea-tured is Austin’s Dell Chil-dren’s Hospital, which opened in July 2007. The environmentally friendly complex features court-yards, gardens and inter-active wall art.

Kellert, a senior re-search scholar and profes-sor emeritus at the Yale School of Forestry and En-vironmental Studies, has also published research on biophilic design in numer-ous works, such as “The Biophilia Hypothesis,” “Building for Life” and

Cindy Lo’s days start early and end late. Between taking her children to and from field trips and meeting with CEOs of major companies to plan their next events, she squeez-es in out-of-state-trips.

After graduating in 1998 with a degree in manage-ment information systems and business honors, Lo went into the work force

doing consulting and proj-ect management work for a software company. Five years later, Lo traded a steady paycheck for a job in events planning. No one would hire Lo without any prior experience in the field, even when she offered to work for free, so she decided to create Red Velvet Events in 2002 to gain experience for future jobs.

In 2003, Lo made the decision to keep the com-pany that specializes in or-ganizing events for high-end clients. Although the success of Lo’s business has yet to plateau, the original decision to switch fields came

with financial drawbacks. Her husband, who was her boyfriend at the time, sup-ported Lo for the first three years while she got the busi-ness going.

“About one year in, I real-ized I liked what I was doing,” Lo said. “There’s always fear. It never goes away. You have more responsibilities. You have more on your mind.”

This past year, Lo’s jobs included organizing a secret event for President Obama in Austin and a last-minute concert for Lionel Richie in her client’s living room af-ter his canceled Austin City Limits show.

Lo is a Texas-born,

first-generation Asian-American. Growing up, she helped run her father’s busi-ness and developed an un-derstanding of the time and energy that went into owning a company.

Lo’s sister, Sarah Lo, was supportive of Cindy Lo and now works as vice president of Red Velvet Events.

“I was actually very excited because I knew this is some-thing she would do very well, and I had faith in her that she would do very well,” Sarah Lo said. “In due time, I had no doubt that she would do it and be one of the best”

Cindy Lo went to UT on a full-ride scholarship

and now actively donates her time and money to the University.

“I think growing up with nothing makes you appreci-ate stuff even more [than] when you grow up and you have everything,” Lo said. “It’s definitely living the American dream.”

Lo has organized sev-eral events for the school and has worked with Elota Patton, the professor who taught Lo’s Honors Busi-ness Communications class. Patton retired from teach-ing in 2012 but is currently working to create an endow-ment for the MIS program through fundraising.

“She was pretty amazing: really focused, lots of energy, a tremendous organizer,” Patton said. “She worked as a consultant, but she’s a natural entrepreneur.”

While gender inequal-ity affects men and women in the business field, Lo said her career was never slowed down because of her gender.

“I personally have never found being a female hinder-ing in any respect; I think what hinders is if you’re negative,” Lo said. “I thought I was on top of the world in the software days, and I
