UT researchers at the Cockrell School of Engi-neering recently developed a smaller and more efficient radio wave circulator, which they say could significantly improve telecommunication.

According to Nicholas Es-tep, electrical and computer engineering graduate student and lead researcher for the project, this new device can transmit and receive signals

on the same frequency band at the same time. The re-search, which was published in Nature Physics in Novem-ber, found that the device is practical and inexpensive. Estep said the device could improve the efficiency of wireless communication.

“The biggest advantage of this device is that it is com-prised of passive components that are conductive to CMOS fabrication techniques, in-stead of bulky, expensive magnetic materials,” Estep

said. “We can potentially in-corporate our design in a larg-er, more complex integrated circuit at minimal cost.”

Estep said the project — funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research — started with a magnetic-free circu-lator theory from Dimitrios Sounas, a postdoctoral fel-low in the engineering school who worked on the research.

After over two hours of dis-cussion and debate at a meeting Tuesday, Student Government did not approve a bill combin-ing its bylaws and internal rules into one document.

The SG Rules and Regula-tions Committee had been reviewing the new governing document since September. After SG assembly members debated on the inclusion of the organization’s agencies in the committee’s revision process, the bill was sent back to the Rules and Regulation Com-mittee for further review.

The document, known as the Code of Rules and Pro-cedures, details the daily op-erations and bylaws of SG and complements a more general constitution, which was re-vised in the spring.

The code was previously under review for contradic-tions between the Office of the Dean of Students and SG policy after controversy arose in the organization during the spring over the release of inter-view notes for its external and internal positions. The Office

of the Vice President of Legal Affairs ruled in August that releasing interview notes for the appointments would be a

violation of the Family Educa-tional Rights and Privacy Act. The organization has not since addressed the handling of in-

terview notes.At Tuesday’s meeting, the

main area of concern was a point in the doctrine requir-

ing agencies to go through a review process by

Retired Gen. Montgomery Meigs spoke Tuesday at West-minster, a retirement commu-nity, about his service and the future of the United States.

Meigs delivered his speech to a room full of retired mili-tary personnel — many of whom were UT alumni — in honor of Veterans Day. He said those who serve make a decision to fight for some-thing larger and more im-portant than themselves.

“The important thing about veterans is the deci-sion that you make en route to harm’s way,” Meigs said. “Most of the time, you make an intellectual decision that your interests and survival are subordinate to the success or failure of your organization.”

Cmrd. Miller Hicks said Vet-erans Day and Memorial Day go hand in hand. He said while it is important to never forget those who served, it is even more important to give mind to those who were wounded or killed in the line of duty.

“On the 26th of May, we celebrated Memorial Day, and that was the day we hon-ored all who had paid the ultimate price in defending our freedoms,” Hicks said. “I wear on my lapel a ribbon for the wounded warriors. They were men and women who came back wounded in body or spirit.”

Hicks said veterans have his-torically stepped up in times of need to protect the country — despite the cost to themselves and their families.

Students walk around campus every day with wires coming out of their ears, holding an iPhone or iPod as they walk to class. But, af-ter two unrelated robberies near campus this past week-end, this scene may not be as common.

In a Tuesday Campus Watch report, William Pieper, UTPD officer and crime prevention special-ist, urged students to be aware of sounds they hear while walking around campus and to wear only one earbud while listening to music.

“You can’t hear [certain] sounds if you’re wearing both ear buds — that’s why we call earphones ‘mugger magnets,’” Pieper said in the report. “Let one ear bud dangle; you will be much safer that way.”

According to the report, one of the robberies hap-pened near Fifth and Colo-rado streets. A pedestrian was approached from be-hind by a subject who grabbed the victim’s wallet and ran away.

In the other robbery, a UT student was walking near his apartment in West Campus when he was ap-proached by a subject who displayed a weapon and de-manded money. The report said the suspect then fled the area in a gold-colored Nissan Altima with silver rims in the shape of a five-pointed star.

The report recommended students take certain pre-cautions to be aware of their surroundings, such as not looking at their phones while walking and look-ing directly at people when they pass.

“Don’t be looking at your cell phone screen or book

while you are walking,” the report said. “Robbers love to attack those that do not see them coming.”

History sophomore Bri-anna Wilcox said she does not think earbuds impair her ability to be aware of surroundings as she walks to class.

“I turn the volume down low, so I’m pretty aware of what’s going on,” Wilcox said. “I don’t think there’s re-ally that much of a risk that you’re going to be robbed or something.”

If students do fall victim to a robbery, they should let the robber have their property without resisting and then make a mental de-scription of the person and report it to the police, the report said.

The Annual Security Re-port shows one robbery oc-curred on adjacent public property to the University last year.

Despite last week’s elections, many of the Austin City Coun-cil races remain undecided. Eight City Council races will be decided Dec. 16, including the mayor’s race, as only three candidates have secured their seats on the City’s new district-based City Council since Elec-tion Day. Attorney Steve Adler

and City Council member Mike Martinez will vie to be the Austin’s next mayor over the next month.

Adler led the eight-man race on Election Day with 37 percent of the vote. Martinez claimed the second runoff spot with 30 percent, beating out Mayor Pro Tem Sheryl Cole.

Since last week’s election, Martinez has challenged Adler to three debates, which

are currently being scheduled between the two campaigns. Both candidates insist they will fight for the whole of Austin, but with different approaches.

Martinez said he would bet-ter represent Austin’s middle class, citing the labor unions that endorsed his campaign.

“I am the champion of middle-class, hardworking

families,” Martinez said. “That’s why you see folks with-in the middle-class spectrum supporting our candidacy for mayor who need a champion in the mayor’s office.”

Adler said he was proud to have the 3,000 or so support-ers that contributed to his campaign — the largest group he’s seen in an Austin race. Ac-cording to Adler, the variety of needs in the city all boil down to a few common goals.

“I think central to those is the hope that we change what we’re doing — that we make City Council governance more thoughtful and delib-erative and proactive, and not reactive and long-term in its thinking,” Adler said.

Adler said diversity does not force the City Council to prioritize one group of peo-ple over another. Everyone in Austin shares common ground, such as a need for education opportunities and water conservation, according to Adler.

“If we were to support edu-cation in the city, so we could move toward universal pre-K, that’s something that would help all of the city,” Adler said. “If we could move forward in ways to make the city more affordable for everybody, like doing things like the home-stead exemption. Even though that disproportionately helps lower income people, it helps all people, too.”

Martinez said he supports a homestead exemption — but with a flat rate basis instead.

“One of the strongest pro-posals pitched and sounds great when you talk about a homestead exemption like Adler’s,” Martinez said. “Ac-cording to his own numbers,

it would raise rents for rent-ers. We need to have poli-cies that reflect all of Austin. When you talk about afford-ability, you shouldn’t propose policies with a negative impact on students.”

According to Martinez, students are also affected by citywide policies and should vote in the runoff to get their voices heard.

“We want to help those who need it the most,” Martinez said. “We certainly appreciate all the student support we re-ceived during the general elec-tion. We know that it’s cram-ming for finals time, but we are going back out after our stu-dent base of support. We want them to vote in the early vote, and, if they can’t, we will hook them up with a mail vote.”

Adler said he was proud of the student turnout during the general election.

“There was a time when the student boxes determined the mayor’s race in the city of Austin,” Adler said. “There are a lot of issues that will have a higher priority, like noise ordi-nances or public safety issues in West Campus or just gen-eral affordability issues. There are key issues that impact the quality of life for students. We have actively started conversa-tions with students, and we’ll continue to do that.”

With the runoff scheduled for the last day of finals at the University, Max Patterson, di-rector of Student Government’s Hook the Vote agency, said his organization will work to en-courage students to turn out.

“We plan on reaching out to as many students as pos-sible about the importance of the student vote in Aus-tin elections, especially in a runoff where turnout is ex-pected to be much lower,” Patterson said.

“Thousands have faced harms way in wartime — thousands,” Hicks said. “Many have stood by and waited, not to get in service, but waited to be called when needed. They also served.”

In addition to thanking the many veterans in atten-dance, Meigs spoke about the threats currently enlisted military personnel face in the changing world, beginning with the emergence of the Is-lamic State group. He said he does not believe it’s correct to refer to the group as a “state.”

“We have a new type of threat in ISIS,” Meigs said. “I won’t call it the Islamic State because it’s not a state. It is a criminal, aggressive, dis-tributive public movement.”

Davis Ford, who authored a book about Earnest Gloyna, was also in attendance. Gloy-na, a former professor and dean at the engineering school, fought in World War II. Ford said listening to the stories vet-

erans have to tell is important in keeping history alive.

“The worst thing that can happen is a person that has a long history dies without recordation,” Ford said. “It’s gone forever.”

representatives from the agen-cy, the SG assembly and execu-tive members every two years. Agency directors attended the meeting and said they were not made aware of this new policy until last week and did not receive notification about Sunday’s final Rules and Regu-lations Committee meeting.

“Whatever email that was sent out on did not include agency directors, so I’m free on Sundays,” SG Diversity Com-mittee director Amber McGee said. “I don’t do much. I would have loved to attend your meet-ing, and I definitely understand the procedures for voicing this,

but was not given access to that information.”

Sergio Cavazos, College of Liberal Arts representative, said the review process had been open for months. Melysa Barth, Rules and Regulations Committee chair, added that her committee had been look-ing at alterations submitted at committee meetings and through email for two months.

“We really did try to make sure that we did our due dili-gence,” Barth said. “I know that there is a communication issue that is arising, and I apol-ogize for that. However, I do not think it is something that should keep our rules from be-ing passed. It shouldn’t hinder the process.”

Olivia Arena, SG City Rela-tions co-director, said a review process that includes assembly members is not fair since most assembly members do not know about an agency’s day-to-day operations.

SG assembly speaker Bray-don Jones said agency heads

still have the ability to run their agency and alter their role as dictated in the document.

“No one in this assembly is trying to tell you how to do your agency, but, in reality, the assembly has to be able to control two things,” Jones said. “One, we need to confirm due appointments the student body president makes, like we did in

the spring. And secondly, we need to determine whether or not an agency should function.”

SG President Kori Rady said he thought the resolution was incomplete and should be re-viewed in an ad hoc committee, a suggestion that did not take.

“There are a lot of holes in this large piece of legislation, and this is the largest change

to Student Government in half a decade,” Rady said. “This is not something that should take three months. It should take six months to a year. Yes, they have put in great work, and many representatives have given their opinions; but, as you can see here, there are opinions that haven’t been incorporated into the piece of legislation.”

According to Estep, it took a year for the team to build a prototype of the device.

“With this technology, we can incorporate tunable non-reciprocal components in mobile platforms,” Estep said.

While magnetic-based cir-culators have been capable of transmitting and receiving signals on the same frequen-cy, such technology can not efficiently be incorporated in wireless devices, according to Estep. Estep said that, because his circulator does not use magnets, it could be used in cellphones and other devices.

“The thing about this de-vice is that it is magnetic-free, and it is also scalable and capable of circuit inte-gration, which means it can potentially be placed in wire-less devices,” Estep said.

Estep said this device is the first experimental device of its kind, and companies such as Intel and Apple have shown interest in it.

“We have introduced a completely different circula-tor,” Estep said. “It is a big step from what we have been using in the past 60 years.”

Andrea Alu, electrical and computer engineering as-sociate professor, said in a statement that the research-ers are also bringing this prototype to other areas of science and technology.

Professor awarded for lifetime of work

The Dell Medical School established a faculty chair to honor Austin physician Dr. Robert Askew, who graduated from UT and completed his residency at UT Medical Branch-Galveston in 1959.

The Shivers Cancer Foundation contributed $1 million to establish the Askew Chair in Oncology. The foundation commemo-rated the donation Friday, after Askew passed away in July. The gift represents one of the largest contribu-tions associated with the foundation.

According to Clay John-ston, dean of the Dell Medi-cal School, the chair will help the school maintain quali-tative standards in treating

patients and training doctors. “The gift will help ensure

that the Dell Medical School has a top-flight physician providing cancer care to Travis County residents and training the next generation of doctors,” Johnston said in a statement.

Johnston also said the chair will be in charge of re-cruiting top faculty members to help maintain a high stan-dard for the school.

“The Askew Chair in On-cology will also be a model for how we recruit and retain the best faculty members and shape the Dell Medical School into a world-class in-stitution,” Johnston said.

This is the second chair to be established within the school — the first being the Chair for the Department of Medical Education, which Susan Cox currently holds.

Aaron Bar-Adon, pro-fessor emeritus in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies, received a lifetime achievement award this month for his decades of research on Hebrew linguistics.

The Council for Hebrew Language and Culture in North America, an orga-nization launched by the World Zionist Organization in 2013 to promote Hebrew and Israeli culture, gave Bar-Adon the award on Nov. 3 at its second annual conference.

“The award to Profes-sor Bar-Adon reflects the broad geographic and professional scope of the efforts we are continuing to make,” said Aryeh Ko-brin, chairman of the He-brew Language Council, in a statement.

In 1963, Bar-Adon joined the University and founded the Hebrew lan-guage program. He spent the next 50 years research-ing child acquisition of

Hebrew and social lin-guistics and lecturing on Hebrew linguistics, Arabic language and Islamic and Biblical law.

As a doctoral candidate at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Bar-Adon be-gan researching child ac-quisition of Hebrew from the perspective of a lin-guist. He also examined how children contributed to the development of He-brew, a revived language that was not spoken wide-ly until the 1920s.

“What did the kids do?” Bar-Adon said. “Did they contribute to the language? It’s a chicken-and-egg question.”

Bar-Adon said he has ex-perienced and researched Hebrew linguistics more than most other scholars alive today. Since the revival of the language, Bar-Adon said the Academy of the He-brew Language has coined 100,000 new words covering a range of topics, including medicine and technology.

Esther Raizen, associate professor in the Depart-ment of Middle Eastern

Studies, said Bar-Adon’s years at the University helped develop a learning standard for future genera-tions of Hebrew language learners at UT.

“He had offered under-graduate and graduate students a rich perspec-tive on the language and its long history that none of the other Hebrew fac-ulty (myself included) could have offered,” Rai-zen said in an email. “Our approach to the Hebrew

classroom is very differ-ent from that of Dr. [Bar-Adon’s] generation, but he has laid the foundation for everything we are do-ing today, including the emphasis on both Biblical and Modern Hebrew.”

Bar-Adon’s research was previously recognized by the Rockefeller Foundation in the 1980s, and, in 2011, the Academy of the Hebrew Language elected Bar-Adon as a member, which Raizen said was “well deserved.”

No injuries were reported after a deck at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house caught fire Tuesday morning.

According to Randy Elmore, Austin Fire De-partment public informa-tion officer, AFD was no-tified of a black column of smoke coming from behind a wall near West 24th Street around 7:40 a.m. Tuesday. When fire crews arrived at the scene, they found a large wooden deck on fire at the Pi Kap-pa Alpha fraternity house, which is located at 2400 Leon St.

Elmore said fire crews extinguished the fire within three minutes and pre-vented it from spreading to nearby structures. Ac-cording to Elmore, the fire was an accident because a fire pit at the house was too close to the wooden deck. Elmore said the total dam-ages are estimated to be around $2,500.

J.D. Swancoat, the fra-ternity’s external vice president, said the deck was being built in the house’s backyard for an up- coming event.

“Our preliminary findings

indicate this morning at about 7:30 am embers from an outdoor fireplace apparently were blown by heavy winds onto fresh lumber being used as part of a temporary deck instal-lation for a mid Novem-ber celebration,” Swancoat said in an email. “The very smokey fire occurred in the fraternity’s backyard and caused minimal dam-age to a wooden deck. At no time did the fire touch the fraternity house.”

Another balcony deck fire was also reported at Parker Lane around 12:30

p.m. Tuesday morning because of an improperly discarded cigarette. AFD personnel said strong winds could have played a role in both fires and advised residents to take proper precautions when disposing of cigarettes and extinguishing grills or fireplace fires.

“As we advised last night, strong winds can quickly ac-celerate fires with improp-erly discarded cigarettes and [barbecue or fireplace] ash-es,” AFD tweeted Tuesday morning.

Abbott has potential to reverse Perry’s educational handiwork

EDITORIAL

By Eric SundinDaily Texan Columnist

@ericwsundin

For the first time since Gov. Dolph Briscoe left office in 1979, come January, Texas will have a Longhorn as governor. Greg Abbott, who will take office in about two months, has mostly been cast off by those all over the spectrum as politically indistinguishable from current gover-nor, Rick Perry. However, to do so would be to ignore the significance of Abbott’s educational history, and how it would affect his decisions re-garding higher education.

Perry’s policies, in a word, have been a train wreck for the University. He has fought time and time again to turn this university into a second-rate trade school, particularly through his messy proxy war with President William Powers Jr. Backed by moneyed interests with a stake in businesses hoping to carry out many of the University’s functions, Perry has appointed regents — namely Wallace Hall — who have schemed to remove Powers and second-guessed the decisions of the university administration in any way they could. We are cautiously optimis-tic, however, that Abbott will not continue down this deleterious path.

Unlike Perry, Abbott is not so ideologically opposed to the humanities. His campaigns have not been so heavily underwritten by, nor as closely associated with many of these individu-

als with a stake in dismantling the University.Three positions on the Board of Regents —

those currently held by Gene Powell, Steven Hicks and Robert Stillwell — will come up for reappointment in February, just weeks into Abbott’s term. It will be up to him to fill these posts, either with ideological crusaders like his predecessor or academic-minded advocates for the University, like many other governors in the past.

As it happens, Powers will also be gone just a few months into Abbott’s term, with his replace-ment taking office around June. Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa, no stranger to controversy himself, is also leaving office at the end of this semester. What happens to the University in the next few months could set the stage for the long term, with implications to be felt for a number of years.

In his unprecedented 14 years in office, Perry has done what no other governor has ever come close to doing: He has packed every nook and cranny of the state’s higher education apparatus with his appointees. Unfortunately, for the most part, those appointees do not do the University much good. Abbott immediately has a chance to change that, and we sincerely hope he will make a change for the better.

Texas should learn from growing acceptance of marijuana’s benefits

COLUMN

At Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, a new revolutionary drug will be tested for its po-tential to treat epilepsy. The hospital has been se-lected as one of only 10 sites for the trial tests for the new drug. The drug itself, named Epidiolex, is “a highly purified extract of the cannabis plant containing pure cannabidiol or CBD.”

Translation: A new drug derived from mari-juana could help treat epilepsy, and Texas is at the center of the issue.

The irony is obvious: Marijuana is not only still illegal at the federal level — because of its standing as a Schedule I drug within the Con-trolled Substance Act (a classification it shares with drugs such as heroin and LSD, not to men-tion the fact that it is deemed more dangerous than Schedule II drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamine) — but also at the state level, where Texas was “among the nation’s leaders in marijuana possession arrests” in the first decade of the 2000s.

The testing soon to begin at Texas Children’s Hospital is further proof that marijuana decrimi-nalization is an issue far bigger in scale than an issue of mostly young citizens wishing to get high legally. Marijuana is illegal mostly because of cultural paranoia, not a genuine breadth of knowledge and understanding of the substance’s few dangers. In fact, marijuana’s classification as a Schedule I drug within the Controlled Sub-stance Act has only made it more difficult for scientific research to be conducted on the drug, as a plethora of bureaucratic obstacles stand in the way.

But improvement of health, though a valid reason for decriminalization in and of itself, is not the only contributing factor to the argument. In its first year of legally selling “retail” marijuana to adults over the age of 21, the legal marijuana industry of Colorado has been a huge financial success. From January to the end of June, “sales of retail marijuana have reaped about $18.9 mil-lion in state taxes … according to the [Colorado] Department of Revenue.” And that number is only expected to increase, as in April, Colorado Gov. Tom Hickenlooper said he anticipated that by mid-July, the state would collect $114 million in taxes and fees — of an anticipated $1 billion in

total sales — by mid-2015.Unfortunately, the paranoia of a few has be-

come the social and political norm for all. Recall Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire Las Vegas casino mogul who amassed fame during the last presi-dential election for his extravagant campaign contributions. Adelson has reportedly funded 85 percent of Florida’s anti-pot campaign. Because of our post-Citizens United political climate, a climate that has ultimately allowed both corpora-tions and people to donate an unlimited amount of money to political campaigns, middle-class individuals in the state of Florida simply cannot contend monetarily with a billionaire who, due solely to his deep pockets, can influence elections with nothing more than a fat check.

Yet marijuana’s medicinal purposes, not to mention the estimated $114 million of tax rev-enue from Colorado’s sales, can only mean one thing: that marijuana usage will only continue to become more and more socially accepted. The recent midterm elections saw Washington, D.C., and the state of Oregon decriminalize marijuana for recreational purposes, and as time goes on, it stands to reason that more states will follow suit. The question then becomes not if marijuana be-comes legal, but when.

The state of Texas would do well to be one of the states to tackle this issue sooner rather than later. Not only would our state benefit from the extremely lucrative taxing and selling of marijua-na, but the issue itself seems ready to be taken by either political party. On one hand, marijuana could be seen as a states’ rights issue and an is-sue of private freedom over federal enforcement — an issue that would ostensibly fit perfectly within the Republican Party platform. On the other hand, decriminalization of marijuana can be seen as a socially progressive issue, one that derives from apparent unequal enforcement of the law, as even in Texas, African-American resi-dents have a higher rate of arrest for possession of marijuana than white residents.

Only time will tell how Texas and the rest of the U.S. react to the growing acceptance — socially, legally and even scientifically — of marijuana’s benefits. One can only hope that Texas will soon stand on the right side of history instead of being late to the party on an issue with positive effects so heavily outweighing the negatives.

Why exactly are people forgoing shaving this month, again?

With the first week of November gone, participants of “No-Shave November” are already touting “Movember” as the reason behind their new facial and body hair en-deavors. And as much as “No-Shave No-vember” has woven itself into the cultural fabric of our generation, the purpose be-hind it has long been forgotten. Even I had to remind myself why people participate in “No-Shave November.”

Apart from using the month of Novem-ber to try out a new facial hair look (or leg hair look for those ladies so inclined), the purpose of No-Shave November has been left behind for bigger and better hair goals. “No Shave November” is a unique way to raise cancer awareness. “What better way to grow awareness than with some hair?” the “No-Shave November” website asks visitors. The goal of No-Shave November is “to grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free,” says the site. “Donate the money you usually spend on shaving and grooming for a month to edu-cate about cancer prevention, save lives, and aid those fighting the battle.”

If you look up the hashtag #noshave on Instagram, though, very little of the mes-

sage put forth by No-Shave November is present. Most of the posts have nothing to do with cancer awareness (there are, of course, people who post links to dona-tion pages and proudly support “Movem-ber” for all it is, but they make up a small minority). Sadly, No-Shave November has become more of a cultural event than a charity cause. People skip out on the ra-zors, shaving cream and other groom-ing products during November but the real reason for doing so — to raise can-cer awareness — is being replaced with a month-long adventure into the depths of hair growth.

Thankfully, there are exceptions. UT’s Interfraternity Council participates in No-Shave November and does a great job raising awareness of the cause behind the name. But as with many things that are driven by social media, the message be-hind the “No-Shave” lifestyle has gotten lost along the way to stardom.

If you’re participating in “Movember,” more power to you. Don’t forget why you are, though. There’s a difference between growing your hair out and fighting cancer via growing your hair out. If the latter isn’t your goal (and no worries if it isn’t), call your hair experiment something else. “No-Shave November” is a term that has been coined by cancer advocates, including the American Cancer Society. Unless you plan on adhering to the goals set forth on the “No-Shave November” website, name your month of no shaving something else. Or, even better, consider hopping on the can-cer-awareness bandwagon.

Democrats mistake government spending for kind-heartedness

COLUMN

The idea is pushed and pushed and pushed. If you have not succumbed to the message, you are thought of as ignorant, and if you have not heard it yet, you must have just been born or currently reside under a rock. The idea is this: The Repub-lican Party is filled with selfish Americans who despise progress. The Democratic Party, on the other hand, is the party for those who are “pro-gressive” and wish to selflessly help others in need. In this week’s column I will destroy the former notion and question the latter.

This is a popular view, but common sense and reality will give it the lie. First, consider our country’s debt of approximately $18 trillion. Last year we went over the “fiscal cliff” because Re-publicans would not agree to raise the debt ceil-ing. When Republicans run for office or propose budgets, some people ask why they will not ex-pand government programs or why they insist on making cuts to these programs. Democrats run and champion their plans to spend more and more on these programs. Why are Repub-licans so mean and selfish?

The United States currently holds unfunded liabilities of over $115 trillion. Unfunded liabili-ties are the difference between future govern-ment spending and future tax revenue. Most of these unfunded liabilities are a result of Medi-care and Social Security. These programs are unsustainable, and whenever Paul Ryan or any other Republican proposes reform, critics say the Republicans don’t care about the poor and elderly. One television ad even shows a Paul Ryan-looking man rolling an elderly lady in a wheelchair off a cliff. Regardless of the reform’s effects, the trimming of these programs is said to be selfish.

Will the debt ever have to be repaid? If not, then we essentially have access to blank checks and should increase our annual deficits. Howev-

er, if we eventually have to pay back the money we spend on these programs, I can think of no act more selfish than to continue unsustain-able spending and push the burden onto the next generation and to those who have not even been born yet. College students, you are getting screwed. You are told that Republicans are im-moral, while the politicians telling you these lies are confident that they will have lived a great life of power and luxury and will be dead by the time you get around to figuring out that you must be held responsible for their actions.

Democrats mistakenly believe that the act of spending money that is not theirs is char-ity. In this sense, they refuse to reflect on how their actions affect future generations, whereas Republicans are forward-looking and conscious of the future. Yet Democrats are said to be “pro-gressive”? There is no creativity or innovation in the Democratic Party. Their game plan is to recognize problems, blame “the rich” and throw money at these problems.

This is what Democrats have done with poverty. Former President Lyndon B. Johnson declared the war on poverty 50 years ago. $22 trillion has been spent on this crusade, but little has changed. This crusade has failed because politicians thought by simply creating central-ized, federal programs and increasing spending, the problem would just disappear. Among other things, we need to increase the control the state has over the money spent on welfare. We can also create incentives, through grants, for states that are able to actually lift people out of poverty and generate self-sustainability rather than gov-ernment dependence.

I am tired of Democrats claiming to be more generous than Republicans simply because they are willing to spend more money. We cannot ac-cept that the only solution to problems that arise is to increase spending. We are smarter than that. It is time for progressives to actually sup-port progress.

As Oktavea Williams gath-ered her school supplies in the SAC, a book called “How to Be Black” fell out of her purse. Williams said the satirical book is being used in her “Per-forming Blackness” course.

Williams, a theatre and dance freshman, has been acting since the fourth grade; but, once she chose acting as her career, she decided theater would be her form of activism.

Williams studies black stereotypes in theater by observing specific actors. She said she admires actors, such as Viola Davis, who play strong women of color.

“So many black characters have to be sassy,” Williams said. “So many are angry or obnoxious black women. I could go on and on.”

According to Williams, these stereotypes arise when people only study their own culture.

“I think when people don’t know someone’s history, it’s easy to make what is not un-derstood into a caricature,” Williams said.

Since coming to UT, Wil-liams has been looking for ways to break the archetypes

of black women in theater. She is currently enrolled in courses such as “Languages of the Stage” and “Perform-ing Blackness,” where she analyzes characters and their backgrounds. She said each character has a diverse story that should be shared, and communicating different stories helps bring peace into the world.

“I think there is so much more in the world, and I just want to help,” Williams said. “I think everyone has a duty to change society. I don’t know if I want to do it, but I think it just needs to be done. If no one else is doing it, I might as well do it.”

During her freshman year in high school, Wil-liams became friends with Sterling Zapata.

“I’ve seen her perform in college, and what surprises me the most is that she’s a whole different person,” Za-pata said. “It put something in my heart, and I didn’t know she could do that.”

Zapata said Williams con-tinues to grow through the characters she plays. Zapata also said Williams has helped her become more aware of social issues.

“I’m very stubborn, and

I don’t like to listen to other points of views,” Zapata said. “[William’s] passion made me take the time to understand people’s beliefs and morals.”

Patricia Kelly, theatre and dance junior, met Williams during their “Languages of

the Stage” class. Since the start of course, Kelly said she has seen Williams become more confident.

“The class helps students become scholars, and I think it is helping [Williams] find her voice,” Kelly said.

Kelly said Williams is

very open and will al-ways answer difficult questions eloquently.

“I love hearing her per-spectives on things because it keeps me in perspective and keeps me thinking of what needs to change,” Kelly said.

In the future, Williams

aspires to be a professional actor and have acting be her main form of activism.

“I think that theater is a form of healing,” Williams said. “You can heal so many people by acting as a bridge for their voice. I think that’s a big reason I love it.”

Freshman studies blackness in performanceBy Lauren Zimmer

Walden said. “Moving back was one of the hardest and most rewarding times of my life. I wouldn’t change the timeline of events at all because, at the end of the day, I own my own business and I’m the captain of my own ship.”

As a female in the male-dominated field of surgery, Walden said she has never been intimidated.

“I enjoy having male col-leagues,” Walden said. “It takes the right mind-set of knowing you’re going to be scrutinized more than your

male counterpart. Men and women are different, and, if you embrace that and work your tail off, there shouldn’t be a problem.”

Aside from being a full-time mother and surgeon, Walden is a co-author of “Aesthetic Plastic Sur-gery” and a philanthropist involved with many or-ganizations, such as Aus-tin Smiles and the Junior League of Austin’s Food In Tummies program.

“I would love, as they get older, to take my boys along on mission trips so they can see how privileged they are to live in our world,” Walden said. “I also like giving back

to my community here and giving back to children be-cause they’re helpless.”

Walden said owning her own practice is a dream come true. She credits her success to her mentors, the support of her family and hard work.

“Thinking back, I thought I would’ve been much more normal,” Walden said. “But I exceeded expectations. When you do make your major life decisions, make them not on money and not on fame. Base them off of what’s best for your family or well-being. I feel like it will take you in the right direction.”

why they are on the streets,” Boettcher said. “There’s been a breakdown of [family ties] somewhere.”

The village will provide homes ranging from $110-$340 per month. In addi-tion to housing, the village boasts a community garden, a workshop and an art house.

“The majority of the people on the streets are not W-2 em-ployable, but, as Americans, we’re constantly trying to fit a circle into a square peg,” Boettcher said. “We’re think-ing of creative ways for them to be able to work because we

realize that, even for us, what we do kind of holds our iden-tity and, in a sense, brings out security in us.”

So far, Moulckers has be-gun to raise funds through online donations at Mobile Loaves & Fishes’ website. Her sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, will also host a philanthropy event for the cause soon.

Business freshman Nadia Vlieger is helping design T-shirts and plan events for the fundraiser. Vlieger said just being around the UT campus her first year helped her un-derstand how important Mo-bile Loaves & Fishes’ work is.

“I didn’t realize how prevalent homelessness was

until I saw it along the Drag,” Vlieger said.

Over the summer, Moulckers was able to visit the couple living in the trailer she helped finance. They told her about life on the street, how their possessions had been stolen, how they were chronically unemployed, and how they just couldn’t make ends meet. Moulckers said the couple teared up because it had been so long since they felt secure.

“I could see the impact af-ter actually moving the fam-ily in,” Moulckers said. “How only $12,000 can transform a family’s life and give them a whole new future.”

The middle of the vol-leyball conference season can be the toughest time for some of the top teams.

The NCAA tournament is still a good distance away, classes are picking up as the semester winds down, and teams on the bubble are looking to score upsets to improve their résumé for the selection committee.

However, for the Long-horns, who are firmly in the tournament and looking to make another run at the na-tional title, the struggle is to remain competitive.

“This is a tough time of the year,” head coach Jer-ritt Elliott said. “There are a lot of upsets that go on. We were susceptible to it last week, and, hopefully, we’ve learned from that.”

Texas closed out its stretch of three games in six days against Kansas State with a hard-fought 3-1 win, which saw the Longhorns rebound af-ter being outplayed in the first set by the then- No. 22 Wildcats.

This week features a game Wednesday night and a game Saturday, and the level of play the Longhorns will face is far from easy.

On Wednesday, Texas faces West Virginia, a team that took the first two sets in the earlier meeting be-tween the teams before the Longhorns swept the

remaining sets to escape from Morgantown, West Virginia, with a win.

Saturday’s match is the Longhorns’ opportunity for revenge against Okla-homa. Back on Oct. 25, the Sooners became the first team since 2012 to beat Texas in Big 12 play and the first team since Min-nesota in September 2012 to beat the Longhorns in Gregory Gym.

Since that loss to

Oklahoma, however, Texas has rebounded in impressive fashion with three-straight conference wins. The Long-horns only dropped two sets in those three games and they outhit their opponents .266 to .144.

The improved play comes at a crucial time for Texas. The Mountaineers, who have no shot at the NCAA tournament thanks to a 3-8 conference record and 13-12 overall record,

come into the match con-fident after taking two sets from Texas the first time around.

The Mountaineers also have one of the confer-ence’s best hitters in sopho-more outside hitter Jordan Anderson. Through 25 games this season, Ander-son has accumulated 419 kills — 38 more than the next highest player in the conference. In the first meeting against Texas,

Anderson had 19 kills and a .278 hitting percentage.

But the plan for the Longhorns is simple. Af-ter taking the weekend off for a mental and physical break, Texas is just looking to get into a rhythm.

“There aren’t a whole lot of things that we need to fix or change,” Elliott said. “It’s more about just play-ing more consistently. We have to be consistent with who we are.”

VOLLEYBALL

Texas looks to extend winning streakBy Jacob Martella

@ViewFromTheBox

Sarah Montgomery | Daily Texan StaffAfter suffering their first loss of the season against Oklahoma last month, the Longhorns have won three consecutive games and will look to extend the streak Wednesday against West Virginia.

For Joe Wickline, offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, this weekend’s trip to Stillwater, Oklaho-ma, will be somewhat of an awkward homecoming.

On one hand, he will be returning to the house that built him.

At Oklahoma State, in the friendly atmosphere of Boone Pickens Stadium, Wickline led an offensive line that consis-tently ranked among the best in the country. He also coached the likes of Russell Okung and Corey Hilliard, and devel-oped a résumé that eventually persuaded Texas head coach Charlie Strong to hire him as his offensive coordinator.

On the other hand, Wickline will be return-ing to a university that is currently suing him for nearly $600,000.

When Wickline left Okla-homa State, his contract stated he would owe the program the remaining balance of his contract unless he was named “offensive coordinator with play-calling duties” or took an NFL job.

Initially, that’s how his gig in Austin was presented: Strong hired

him as the offensive coor-dinator, and he was to share play-calling duties with Shawn Watson, assistant head coach for offense and quarterbacks coach.

But, according to Okla-homa State administra-tors, Watson has been call-ing the plays, and Wickline hasn’t been involved at all, so he must pay the school the remaining $593,478 of his salary.

The mini-drama has added fuel to the fire ahead of this weekend’s must-win game for the Longhorns, but the Texas coaching staff insists it won’t be a distraction.

“It’s not going to be brought up, and it’s not a concern,” Strong said. “Their concern is go play Oklahoma State be-cause the lawsuit has nothing to do with how we’re going to play and where our focus is going to be.”

All legal matters aside, Wickline’s wealth of ex-perience working along-side Cowboys head coach Mike Gundy and the rest of the Oklahoma State staff should give Texas the inside edge Saturday.

Defensive coordinator Vance Bedford spent time on Gundy’s staff as well, but that was back in 2005 and 2006.

Wickline’s recent nine-year tenure with the Pokes will be particularly advantageous.

“It’ll be helpful when we start talking person-nel that he knows the guys,” Strong said.

Several of Oklahoma State’s players from a year ago, when Wickline was still there, are key contributors this year, so having him on staff should help the Longhorns prepare on both sides of the ball.

“I think he’ll be a huge as-set,” senior receiver John Har-ris said. “[Wickline] knows the guys that are on the defensive side pretty well. We’re going to rely on him a lot, take his in-put on what we need to do and how we need to go out and get this win.

Perhaps Wickline’s prior experience with the Cowboys will prove to be the added ad-vantage the Longhorns need to get past Oklahoma State and gain bowl eligibility this weekend. Or maybe his law-suit with the school will end up being a distraction Texas can’t overcome, giving the Pokes their sixth win of the season and a post-season birth of their own.

Either way, one team will leave Saturday’s con-test having realized its bowl aspirations.

A.J. Abrams was one of the purest shooters Texas basket-ball has ever had.

He made 389 threes in his four-year career — a Big 12 record and 17th all-time — while shooting at a 40 percent clip. At the charity stripe, he drilled in over 86 percent of his shots.

But since his time at Texas, few have heard his name.

Now, at 28, just five years removed from wear-ing the burnt orange jersey, Abrams is an local realtor at JBGoodwin Realtors.

The 5-foot-11 shooting guard was just that — a shoot-ing guard. He shot 976 three-pointers in his career. He also took 647 shots underneath the arc.

“A.J. is one of the best shoot-ers I have ever seen,” Texas teammate D.J. Augustin said back in 2007. “He’s a great play-er. [Opponents] have to guard him, which opens up lanes for myself and others.”

After four years of knock-ing down the long ball, Abrams entered the 2009 draft with an outside shot at being drafted.

“The little guy can shoot,” Chad Ford said in his analy-sis of Abrams for ESPN be-fore the draft. “He’s still a

second-rounder at this point, but given his lack of size and po-sition, that’s saying something.”

The undersized guard with “questionable point guard skills” was never drafted. Abrams made his way around the NBA Summer League circuit but never signed to a team, instead finding his way to Europe for four years.

“It was an amazing expe-rience where I got the op-portunity to play the game I love, as well as travel all over the world,” Abrams said of his experience in his LinkedIn profile.

He played a season in Italy and one in Greece before fin-ishing his playing days with ČEZ Basketball Nymburk in the Czech Republic, where he won the 2011 and 2012 championships He returned to Austin in 2013 and finished his degree in applied learning and development.

Upon graduation, Abrams began a career in sales, which ultimately led him to real es-tate. He now lives in Kyle, a few miles south of Austin, with his wife, who is a teach-er and coach at Lockhart Middle School.

Abrams is still active in the Austin community. He often helps with youth basketball camps and con-tributes to Horns247 as a basketball analyst.

SPORTS BRIEFLYReed receives fourth honor since Saturday

Senior football defen-sive end Cedric Reed was named the FWAA/Bronko Nagurski Na-tional Defensive Player of the Week on Tues-day after his play against West Virginia.

Reed tallied a sea-son-high 13 tackles in the contest, which was Texas’ first win against a ranked opponent at home since 2008. He had three sacks, includ-ing one for a safety and forced fumble.

Reed had high expec-tations coming into the season after a career-year in 2013, finishing third in the Big 12 with 10 sacks. However, in Texas’ first nine con-tests this year, he only recorded 1.5 sacks and 24 tackles before breaking out against West Virginia.

This is Reed’s fourth award of the week. He was named Athlon De-fensive Player of the Week, Big 12 Defen-sive Player of the Week and National Defensive Lineman of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards.

Chris Foxx | Daily Texan Staff Jennifer Walden, full-time mother and plastic surgeon, sits with her twin sons, Houston and Rex. After spending seven-and-a-half years working in New York, Walden returned to Austin and now owns a public practice.

Plastic surgeon molds successThe first time anyone ever

told UT alumna Jennifer Walden that she would be a surgeon, she was in junior high. Her teacher recognized her ability to quickly dissect a pig while the rest of the class struggled squeamishly.

“That was the first little nugget implanted in my head,” Walden said. “Every time I ever worked with dis-sections or the human body, I enjoyed that a lot. It was a natural fit for me.”

Walden did as her teach-er predicted when she

earned a degree from the University of Texas Medi-cal Branch-Galveston and became a plastic surgeon. As an undergrad at UT, Walden learned to balance her studies, her sorority, a pre-med honor society and club sports. Now, she owns a private practice — Walden Cosmetic Surgery Center — with a fully accredited op-erating room located at the Westlake Medical Center.

“The work I do is conser-vative but dramatic,” Walden said. “I operate on people who are well and healthy but want to do something that will make them feel better

about themselves. The best plastic surgery is what you don’t know has been done.”

Walden realized her affin-ity for plastic surgery when she rotated through differ-ent surgical specialties in medical school.

“When you go through that rotation, you just know that’s what you want to do,” Walden said. “It’s almost like meeting the love of your life.”

Walden said she loves her ability to make an enormous change in patients’ lives through surgery.

“Plastic surgeons, spe-cifically, like visible change,” Walden said. “We want to

see what we’ve done.”After her fellowship at

the Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital, Walden worked in New York for seven-and-a-half years. In 2010, Walden chose single motherhood and used in vi-tro fertilization to give birth to her twin sons. A year later, she uprooted her prac-tice and moved it to Aus-tin to be near her parents and siblings.

“I think one of the things about being a female sur-geon is that you end up de-laying your child bearing,”

Business freshman Mor-gan Moulckers and a local nonprofit are working to pro-vide the chronically home-less in Austin with a stable community in which they can thrive.

Moulckers started her fundraiser, “Bringing the Homeless Home,” in Oc-tober. She hopes to raise $25,000 to move two chroni-cally homeless people into a trailer provided by Mobile Loaves & Fishes, the local organization behind Com-munity First! Village.

“With everyone’s hard work, we ended up rais-ing over $12,000,” Moulck-ers said. “Enough to move a family into one of Mobile Loaves & Fishes’ trailers.”

At Community First! Village, residents work in the garden to provide fresh, organic foods for the community.

Sarah Boettcher, director

of Mobile Loaves & Fishes’ volunteer program, said the program’s original mission was to go out in trucks and provide food and other re-sources to the homeless.

“Volunteers were going out every single night of the week, and they were seeing the same people on the same street corner over and over and over again,” Boettcher said. “They realized that these people on the streets need more than just a sand-wich or a pair of socks.”

Mobile Loaves & Fishes began placing single, chroni-cally homeless people in RV parks around Austin, but Boettcher said these people needed to be placed in a purposeful and supportive community to remain on the right track.

“We’re just trying to cre-ate a space where people can come and feel loved — feel settled and like they have family — because that’s
