UT has launched a new col- laborative master’s degree pro- gram with the goal of keeping people safe from identity theſt and fraud. e Master of Science in Identity Management and Security (MSIMS) program started in January and is de- signed for working profes- sionals, and 13 students are currently enrolled. Classes for the two-year program meet once a month on week- ends, program manager Ka- tie Stephens said. Information school dean Andrew Dillon said the pro- gram is needed and important because of increased reliance on digital transactions to ex- change personal information. “Many businesses and gov- ernment agencies require a secure means of ensuring that the people they are dealing with are whom they claim to be, and that personal informa- tion is appropriately managed in the process of sharing re- cords,” Dillon said in an email. “Identity theſt is a rapidly growing crime which all or- ganizations must tackle. Cur- rently, there is no formal edu- cation for professionals who can provide solutions to the problems of managing and protecting personal identity information, so this program is designed to serve as appro- priate career preparation for information professionals.” Suzanne Barber, director of the Center for Identity, said students in the program will learn valuable skills to combat identity theſt and fraud and protect people’s privacy. “Students will gain the skills needed to make policy rec- ommendations, risk manage- ment assessments and tech- nological decisions about the collection, storage and use of personally identifiable infor - mation within corporations and government agencies,” Barber said. e MSIMS program is also unique because it is a collaboration between the School of Information and the Center for Identity, Bar - ber said. Students learn from experts in technology securi- ty, organizational psychology, policy, law, records manage- ment and risk and communi- cations. In addition, students do not have to be from the School of Information to par - ticipate in the program. “Do black lives matter, or do all lives matter?” A young black man asked this question to the five Dem- ocrats running for president in the first of six debates on Oct. 13, 2015 in an effort to force presidential candidates to address issues of police brutality, criminal justice reform and drug decrimi- nalization — all focuses of the Black Lives Matter move- ment.

UT has launched a new col-laborative master’s degree pro-gram with the goal of keeping people safe from identity theft and fraud.
The Master of Science in Identity Management and Security (MSIMS) program started in January and is de-signed for working profes-sionals, and 13 students are currently enrolled. Classes for the two-year program meet once a month on week-ends, program manager Ka-tie Stephens said.
Information school dean Andrew Dillon said the pro-gram is needed and important because of increased reliance on digital transactions to ex-change personal information.
“Many businesses and gov-
ernment agencies require a secure means of ensuring that the people they are dealing with are whom they claim to be, and that personal informa-tion is appropriately managed in the process of sharing re-cords,” Dillon said in an email. “Identity theft is a rapidly growing crime which all or-ganizations must tackle. Cur-rently, there is no formal edu-cation for professionals who can provide solutions to the problems of managing and protecting personal identity information, so this program is designed to serve as appro-priate career preparation for information professionals.”
Suzanne Barber, director of the Center for Identity, said students in the program will learn valuable skills to combat identity theft and fraud and protect people’s privacy.
“Students will gain the skills needed to make policy rec-ommendations, risk manage-ment assessments and tech-nological decisions about the collection, storage and use of personally identifiable infor-mation within corporations and government agencies,” Barber said.
The MSIMS program is also unique because it is a collaboration between the School of Information and the Center for Identity, Bar-ber said. Students learn from experts in technology securi-ty, organizational psychology, policy, law, records manage-ment and risk and communi-cations. In addition, students do not have to be from the School of Information to par-ticipate in the program.
“Do black lives matter, or do all lives matter?”
A young black man asked this question to the five Dem-ocrats running for president in the first of six debates on Oct. 13, 2015 in an effort to force presidential candidates to address issues of police brutality, criminal justice reform and drug decrimi-nalization — all focuses of the Black Lives Matter move-ment. Since then, activists around the country and in Austin have forced other candidates for office to take a stance on race-related issues.
On Saturday afternoon, a crowd of more than 100 local activists and students gath-ered for Millions March Tex-as 2016 at the Martin Luther King Jr. statue. Rally partici-pants listened to speeches in the shade of the MLK statue before heading to the Capitol to hear from speakers on how they could affect change in not only the presidential pri-mary, but also in local races.
“We need to continue to lobby our congressmen, our legislators, our council members,” said local activist Juanita Spears, who spoke in front of the statue. “If we put them in there and they don’t
do what they need to do, then the next time we’ll vote them out.”
Throughout the primary campaign season, the two top candidates for the Democrat-ic nomination — former Sec-retary of State Hillary Clinton
and Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) — have expressed their support for Black Lives Mat-ter issues, including ending mass incarceration and en-forcing police body cameras.
While the Black Lives Matter movement has been
effective at making some pres-idential candidates, mainly Democrats, address its con-cerns, activists at the rally ar-gued candidates need to quit talking about platforms and actually begin taking action.

Student Government intro-duced legislation Tuesday to reduce the current amount of money candidates can spend on their campaigns.
Assembly Bill 9, “Amend-ing Student Government Campaign Finance Limits in the Election Code,” was proposed to address the issue of diversity among Student
Government members.Student Government is
often seen as not represent-ing the diverse interests of the entire student body, said Amber Magee, public health junior and Student Govern-ment administrative direc-tor, who proposed the bill with student body president Xavier Rotnofsky.
“Some students choose not to run in elections because of the assumption that it takes a
certain amount of money to be competitive in a Student Government race,” Magee said. “While spending more money doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you will win a race, stu-dents can feel discouraged when they don’t have the dis-posable income to spend on an election that their opponents may have.”
Current financial cam-paign spending limits allow for $1,023 for executive alli-
ance elections, $614 for Uni-versity-wide representatives and first-year representatives and $409 for college repre-sentatives. The bill proposes reducing those limits to $511, $204 and $153, respectively.
Taral Patel, biology and gov-ernment senior and Student Government chief of staff, said there is currently a lack of di-versity in Student Government due to barriers such as the campaign finance structure,
which allows students to spend up to $1,000 for their executive alliance races.

The UT System took a play from the NFL Thursday to eliminate gendered differences in pay and promote faculty and staff diversity.
All UT System institu-tions must invite minority candidates to interview during the final rounds of interviews for “senior administrative positions,” and must submit a plan to the System to end the gen-der pay gap in five years. The plan is based off the Rooney Rule, a policy which requires NFL coaches to interview mi-nority candidates for head coaching jobs.
Chancellor William McRaven said in a state-ment that the rule would ensure faculty and staff reflect the diverse stu-dent bodies at each Sys-tem institution.
“We want to ensure that qualified women and minorities have an op-portunity to be consid-ered for every senior level position,” McRaven said in a statement. “Making sure our leadership, fac-ulty and staff reflect the changing look of Texas is not just about fairness. It’s also about effectiveness. Change starts at the top. We need administrators, campus leaders and fac-ulty whom women and minority students can look to as role models and mentors, and who better understand the students they’re serving and where they’re from.”

“Professionals from a wide range of undergraduate backgrounds and experience in different market sectors are encouraged to apply,” Barber said.
Associate professor Ken Fleischmann, who teaches “Identity in Society and Communities,” said the stu-dents’ experiences enhance the program.
“People bring many different perspectives to the classroom, allowing us to have robust discus-sions about a very com-plex and critical topic in society today: identity,” Fleischmann said.
Barber said the program’s first class is made up of pro-fessionals who are strong in their fields.
“I hope that it continues to grow and attract candi-dates who can be thought leaders and game changers in identity management and security,” Barber said.

America,” will consist of panels and keynotes on topics span-ning over 60 years of racial politics, including the 2014 protests in Ferguson, Missouri, the rise of the Black Lives Mat-ter movement and president Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great So-ciety policies involving racial and social inequalities.
“We want stakeholders, who are activists, policy ex-
perts, journalists, students, just people [who are] a part of the community who are interested in these issues,” Joseph said. “I think that in 2016 these issues have really taken a national spotlight.”
Deanna Govea, journalism and Asian studies junior, said she sees intrigue in the event even though the topics are of-ten perceived as contentious.
“For a lot of people, it’s kind of uncomfortable to talk about it, so to have a conference
around it should be interest-ing,” Govea said.
Joseph said he believes the CSRD will kick-start further conversation and engagement.
“Over time, as more people know we exist, we’ll be able to bring a lot more people to the Center for really exciting con-versations and dialogues, and public history and policy dis-cussions about all these issues,” Joseph said.
Conference details are avail-able at utexas.edu/lbj.

of the students are women compared to 42 percent of the faculty, and 39 percent of students identify as His-panic compared to 11 per-cent of the faculty, accord-ing to a UT System press release. Women faculty members are paid 90 per-cent of what their male col-leagues are paid at doctoral institutions, according to data released in 2014 by the American Association of University Professors.
Rachel Osterloh, presi-dent of the Senate of Col-lege Councils, said she sup-ported the rule.
“I’m glad that UT Sys-tem is taking positive steps to advocate for gender eq-uity,” said Osterloh, a gov-ernment and philosophy senior. “I think that having more women and minority applicants at UT will yield more positive leadership for the system.”
This is not the first time McRaven has advocated for more women in lead-ership positions. While serving as head of special operations in the military, he said women should be considered for roles previ-ously open to men, such as Navy SEALs.
“[This rule] will put more women and minori-ties in a position for the selection committee to recognize the great talents that may have previously gone unnoticed,” McRaven said in a statement.
Government assistant professor Bethany Alb-ertson said she welcomed the news of rule changes because it would set up an “institutional safeguard” to ensure women are ap-propriately considered for senior positions.
“I think it’s great. We need more women in se-nior positions, and this is a way to make sure that they are considered,” Albertson said. “[This rule] can inter-rupt the process and get us to think more broadly.”
Howard Prince, pro-fessor in the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, said he supported the rule, but cautioned it would take time to fully witness its effects. The current dean of the LBJ School, Angela Evans, was “head and shoulders the best candidate” when she — the only female final-ist — was selected over an otherwise all-male pool of candidates, he said.
“You have to have a more focused and intense recruiting effort,” Prince said. “You have to decide, ‘We want to do this,’ and it’s going to take time.”

political agendas.”In the Republican pri-
mary, candidates such as retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson have argued that the lives of no one race matter more than the lives of other races.
Bailey Alders, who was walking around the Capi-tol around the time of the rally, briefly interrupted the rally by yelling “All Lives Matter.”
“I believe there’s a sancti-ty to life,” Alders said. “I’m as supportive of them as anybody else in the world, but I just get tired of the di-visiveness … and for the fu-ture to be embraced, there’s some things in the past that need to be left in the past.”
Speakers recited a long list of lives lost in connec-tion with police violence in the past couple of years,
including Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice and Larry Jackson Jr.
Local activist Stevens Orozco, who spoke at the rally, said activists need to unite together and use the recent deaths as a motivat-ing force for action.
“People’s lives are on the line,” Orozco said. “The time for being timid has passed. We have to con-nect, we have to be straight-forward with each other, we have to be passionate.”
Many activists focused on the large amount of children and youth scat-tered throughout the crowd and how they are fighting for their futures as well as their own.
“When it comes to our future and other genera-tions besides myself, yeah, I’m going to show up,” Murray said. “No matter how hard it is for me to get there.”

a diverse array of students, and by implementing cam-paign finance reform, the or-ganization can become more inclusive during the upcom-ing election cycle.
“This legislation will hopefully have more stu-dents filing for election that aren’t typically seen in Stu-dent Government,” Magee said. “We are hoping to fur-ther diversify the students who feel represented by Stu-dent Government and who make use of the resources and access that Student Government has.”
Tanner Long, government senior and Student Govern-ment speaker of the assem-bly, said he thinks the bill should be implemented for this year’s election, but agrees campaign financial budgets need to be reformed.
“While I understand the need to re-examine adjusting our campaign expenditure limits, the timing of this bill is unfortunate,” Long said. “Candidates that have already filed have been given one set
of rules. AB 9 is changing the rules of the game after the game has already started.”
Long said adjustments to Student Government expen-diture limits are needed to promote more involvement between students and Stu-dent Government, but the majority of students that filed and ran for office last year did not come close to spending near the current limits or the proposed limits of AB 9.
“Nearly 29 percent of the candidates last year spent $0,” Long said. “I think some members of Student Govern-ment feel the end goal of pro-moting more involvement is necessary and are willing to try anything to achieve that goal — even if it may appear as rushed.”
Long said encouraging students to file for Student Government is a good idea if it is done in a reasonable and responsible way.
“AB 9 can have tremen-dous advantages if we don’t rush this bill through and instead consult with students all across campus to find a reasonable compromise,” Long said.

Journalist discusses female resistance to Nazis
Although most World War II stories involve men fighting on the front lines, one journalist has explored an often overlooked side of Nazi resistance — female civilians who confronted the oppression of Hitler in France.
British biographer Car-oline Moorehead spoke about the lives of female resistance fighters during a lecture at the Harry Ran-som Center on Friday.
Over 10 years ago, the historian and journal-ist began writing her first book about the lives of 230 women, all non-Jews, who resisted the push of Nazism and were sent to the concentration camp in Auschwitz.
“[The book] seems to me to have everything I find most interesting —
personal stories, history, courage, imagination, dan-ger and fear and the un-known,” Moorehead said.
Moorehead said she set out to write a cheerful sto-ry about the largely unno-ticed rays of hope in that precarious time of Nazi and fascist Europe, stories about the fighters and life-savers. But to her surprise, the horrors of the reality of that time and place made her book much gloomier than she originally intend-ed it to be.
“Their stories may be depressing and gloomy, but their endings will be happy,” Moorehead said.
Moorehead said the un-breakable bond of friend-ship shared between the 49 women who survived Auschwitz astonished her the most.
“I was fascinated by the spontaneous na-ture of their courage,”
Moorehead said.History senior Andrew
Zekany, who attended the talk, said he was struck by Moorehead’s vivid re-counting of the lives of these resistance women. Moorehead’s work por-trayed the reality of war-time and reinforced how the terrible nature of war affects not only soldiers on the battlefront, but the lives of ordinary citizens, Zekany said.
“I think it gives you a personal perspective,” Ze-kany said. “You can really put yourself in [the indi-vidual resistor’s] shoes. [Otherwise,] it’s hard to conceptualize millions of people dying.”
Former HRC director Thomas Staley said the pursuit of history and re-counting important fig-ures’ lives was a source of priceless knowledge and awareness.
“They say in ‘The Great Gatsby’ that you can’t re-capture the past. Of course you can,” Staley said. “If you don’t know your past, you don’t know what you’re doing, you don’t know how you got there, you don’t know what your moral bearing is. You can’t leave the past away.”
Madison Gordon | Daily Texan StaffCaroline Moorehead reads an excerpt from her book, “A Train in Winter,” at the Harry Ransom Center on Friday afternoon. Moorehead also spoke about resistance writers in the World War II era.
I think it gives you a personal perspective. You can really put your-self in [the individual resistor’s] shoes. [Oth-erwise,] it’s hard to conceptualize millions of people dying.”
—Caroline Moorehead, British biographer
Stepping foot on the 40 Acres for the first time can be a confusing experience. Campus can seem so unfamiliar to newcomers — even those who are fresh out of their sum-mer orientation session.
Over time, students get to know the University as well as their old high school stomping grounds. As newcomers explore UT, they learn of stereotypes and trends sur-rounding the campus and its different col-leges. I remember hearing that communica-tions majors are all girls, engineering is filled with guys, business majors are all in Greek life. My friends and classmates echoed these stereotypes.
How accurate are these assumptions, though? To address these questions and prove
or disprove their accuracy, I analyzed Univer-sity-provided data and examined which ste-reotypes about our campus makeup are fact and which are fiction.
Using data provided by the Office of Insti-tutional Reporting, Research and Informa-tion Systems (IRRIS), we can dive into the gender breakdown of each college on campus to fact-check these assumptions. With that in mind, let’s check the most popular assump-tion about the College of Communication: it’s (almost) all women.
Is that true? Essentially, yes — where under-graduate students are concerned. It’s a different, and more problematic, story with the faculty.
Out of the 3,834 undergraduate students in the College of Communication, which is the fifth largest college on campus, only 1,104 or 29 percent are men. To clarify, that means there are approximately 2.5 under-graduate women for every undergraduate
man across the college. Foreign students have the smallest ratio of women to men, coming in at slightly more than two women per man.
The college has shifted farther toward the woman side of the scale since 2009, the old-est available data set in the IRRIS statistical handbook. Nevertheless, the 1,253 or 32.4 percent undergraduate men were still decid-edly in the minority.
On the faculty side of things, however, the trend is reversed. Out of the 171 faculty mem-bers listed in the data set, only 76 are women.
This gender disparity between the un-dergraduate student population and faculty should be corrected. The industries that this college feeds into also typically employ more women than men, and these class-rooms need to mirror the makeup of these newsrooms, advertising agencies and public relations offices. Workplace aside, incoming
students need to be able to see that they can rise through their profession regardless of their gender.
While the College of Communication faculty’s gender makeup doesn’t match its student body’s, it is more balanced than the other large colleges around campus. Only five colleges on campus have a female-majority faculty (one of which is the School of Under-graduate Studies, which only employs 3 non-tenured professors).
These changes in student and faculty makeup take time to occur, but they are ab-solutely necessary. A faculty which naturally mirrors its profession will give students an accurate road map of the industry that they’re trying to break into. That kind of leg up can be the difference between a good college and a great one.
Humphrey is a journalism senior from Round Rock.
Recall the brouhaha over Planned Par-enthood last autumn? The hype about sell-ing baby parts and murdering newborn babies? Carly Fiorina, who was remarkably at one time a legitimate candidate for Presi-dent, made waves in a Republican debate by graphically recounting a horrifying video that did not exist as described. The Texan, The New York Times and others noted its mendaciousness, but countless Americans believed that a massive media conspiracy had blinded them to the truth.
Accordingly, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a zeal-ous opponent of abortion rights and Planned Parenthood, asked local prosecutors to inves-tigate the women’s health providers. Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson, another Republican, carried out this role.
Last week, a state grand jury absolved Planned Parenthood of any wrongdoing. As noted, the videos wherein newborn ba-bies were murdered simply did not exist. Fiorina and the rest of the Republican po-litical class simply fabricated them. Other claims made by the video were only done through the result of deceptive editing. Furthermore, the videographers attempted to entrap Planned Parenthood staff and purposefully misidentified themselves.
The misidentification was a big prob-lem for that aforementioned Harris County grand jury. They indicted the two videog-raphers for tampering with a government record, a second-degree felony.
The legal system ended up reflecting the truths uncovered by the press. All is well, right? Not exactly.
Patrick quickly put out a statement that references the videos. “The horrific nature of these videos will demand scrutiny and inves-tigation,” Patrick said in a press release.
Gov. Greg Abbott, in a statement of his own, was even more standoffish. “Nothing about today’s announcement impacts the state’s ongoing investigation,” he said at the time, noting how concurrent inquiries are still ongoing, including one by Attorney Gen-eral Ken Paxton. (Paxton is currently under indictment himself.)
It’s frustrating enough that anyone could get caught up in the cognitive dissonance dis-played here. But when the leaders of the state are some of the worst offenders, it only com-pounds the problem.
The right-wing popular press has also published stories purporting to show the grand jury’s decision was made errone-ously. And Anderson has received intense blowback from her party’s base, enough so
that she felt compelled to produce a short video explaining herself and her role in the legal process.
“Anyone who pays attention knows that I’m pro-life,” Anderson said in her video. “I believe abortion is wrong. But my personal belief does not relieve me of my obligation to follow the law.”
The point is reasonable, but Anderson’s ostensibly former supporters did not feel the same way. They called her a traitor, demand-ed her resignation and even compared her to those who persecuted the leaders of the civil rights movement.
There’s not an easy solution to this. As newspapers and independent journalism has been largely lobotomized throughout the country, and more and more Ameri-cans get their news from Facebook, the problem is only getting worse. But we need to step outside the echo chamber. Anderson is right. Whatever your opinion on abortion, according to the laws of this country and this state, Planned Parent-hood did not break the law, but the vid-eographers did.
Horwitz is a government senior from Houston.
On Jan. 8, Greg Abbott gave a speech outlin-ing his nine-step plan for “Restoring the Rule of Law,” calling for a constitutional power shift from the federal to state level. In doing so, he joins the 27 states who have approved similar motions in their respective states. If only seven more join them, Congress will have to call a modern-day constitutional convention — the first since the constitution’s drafting.
The Texas plan’s call for increased state power is the antithesis of the constitution’s in-tent. The Constitution as we know it today re-placed the weaker Articles of Confederation, which emphasized state power. Fundamen-tally altering the country’s founding docu-ment threatens to immortalize the dysfunc-tional politics of today rather than moving towards productive solutions.
Despite the extreme nature of the proposed changes, the public’s unfavorable attitude to-wards federal government contextualizes the movement. Public trust in government has reached historic lows, while political polar-ization is higher than any point in the last two decades. U.S. debt, a main topic of the theo-retical convention, is also among the highest it has ever been.
The frustration is most keenly felt among conservatives who feel their voices are being cir-cumvented by federal efforts. We have seen this in states that tried to refuse Syrian immigrants, gay marriage licenses and giving up land.
In his speech, Abbott borrows the words of founding fathers like Madison and Hamilton
to extol the virtues of a state-centered govern-ment. He uses example after example of 19th century policy to show how America has gone astray, like describing the loss of the Com-merce Clause, which gave states autonomy over intra-state trade.
“So if it is so clear, how did we veer so far off course? The short answer is that the limi-tations inherent in the Commerce Clause be-came politically inconvenient,” Abbott said. “And all three branches of the federal govern-ment — Congress, the President, and the Su-preme Court — abandoned the rule of law for the more expedient rule of man.”
In context, the term “politically inconve-nient” laments a loss of state autonomy, but it is, ironically, the very motivation of their ac-tions. They find themselves politically incon-venienced by federal laws they know they can do little about, and are now looking to shift the power to protect perceived infringement on states rights.
The major structural revisions to the Consti-tution currently mooted within the states are by nature a reaction to the current political climate.
The weight of current political issues and public disillusionment demand strong response, but systemic constitutional changes would be both overkill and historical regression.
“Using Gov. Abbott’s recent call for a conven-tion to adopt states’ rights constitutional chang-es as instructive,” said Gary Jacobsohn, consti-tutional and comparative law professor. “We can see that the political winds today would be most likely to carry us back to an Articles-like constitutional settlement. The result would be an emasculated national government.”
Trying to change the structure of the U.S. gov-ernment itself is not the best use of the immense
political and economic capital needed to get such a convention up and running. Instead, states should focus on getting their national represen-tatives and party leaders to simply focus on their constituents and inter-party cooperation. After all, there’s nothing like the threat of a state-led government to get your national representatives to shape up.
Our Constitution was drafted with the ex-press purposes of giving our nation the power and structure it lacked. Is our best fix for our current frustrations really to overturn 200 years of national identity?

Moody College gender disparity goes beyond students
After 2014’s 1000 Forms of Fear took off with its abundance of pop hits like “Chandelier,” Sia became synonymous with a new hy-per-emotional trend in pop music. Her newest album This Is Acting takes this style to the next level, increasing the intensity of almost every aspect of her music.
Sia Furler’s mainstream career began not with her solo releases or her work with electronica band Zero 7, but when she began song-writing for other artists — Beyoncé, Rihanna and Flo Rida all owe some credit to Sia for her musical contribu-tions to their works. Paired with her melodramatic vo-cals, Sia’s songwriting talents allowed her to break out as a figurehead of pop music. With her newest album This Is Acting, released Friday, she builds even further on her patented sound, incor-porating an abundance of synths and drum machines into her music to help create a dramatic but occasionally repetitive experience.
Sia’s music gener-ally revolves around her
confidence, and This Is Act-ing is no exception. However, unlike many of her previous releases, This Is Acting takes a slightly positive spin on Sia’s traditionally narcissistic view on her own credence.
These changes begin with adjustments in production, and producers Greg Kurstin and Jesse Shatkin are to thank for this album’s cutting-edge pop sound. The album’s highlight is easily “One Mil-lion Bullets,” the only song Sia originally wrote with the intention of including on one of her solo albums. The vo-cals are impressive, and the calming blend of piano and drum machines helps cre-ate a moody but optimistic track. As she sings, “If you were a poet and I was a fault-less muse, if you were the hero, yeah, I’d take a bullet for you,” it’s hard not to feel Sia’s emotion.
The major issue with This Is Acting, though, is its lack of personal connection. Sia herself has gone on record
saying that the majority of songs for this record were not intended for her use, but rather for other artists, and it’s noticeable. This Is Acting’s first track, “Bird Set Free,” sounds as if it could have been the next big Adele hit with its melodic piano and gloomy lyrics, while tracks such as “Move Your Body” and the album’s lead single, “Alive,” sound like failed Ri-hanna songs.
This Is Acting really shows the pitfall of Sia’s success as a hit-maker. Sia cracks her voice or scales up production on almost every song, creat-ing an effect of diminishing return as the album plays out. By the end of this project’s third track, “One Million Bullets,” listeners have heard everything Sia has to offer. In the end, each individual reject has its own occasional highlights, but listening to
the album as a whole creates a disjointed experience.
Whether it’s impres-sive vocal performances or quality production, This Is Acting shines in some mo-ments, but lacks the conti-nuity of 1000 Forms of Fear to make it an album to listen to over and over again. Any fans will most likely buy their favorite singles from this project rather than the entire record.

Amalaha also recently hired nutrition senior Re-becca Salajan as a marketing intern. Salajan said that she was drawn to the kits because the ingredients come pre-cut, pre-washed and ready to use.
“I think that’s one of the coolest things, because I al-ways end up throwing away a bunch of food at the end of the week,” Salajan said. “It’s hard, as a college student, to get accustomed to the rou-tine of making food.”
Amalaha said the dif-ference between Gourmet By Numbers and national competitors such as Blue Apron or Super Suppers is her relationships with local farmers to source local, or-ganic ingredients. Currently, the company delivers as far north as Highway 45 and as far south as Oak Hill. She said she hopes to eventually expand the company’s reach to other areas besides Austin.
“That really is a plan for the future,” Amalaha said. “Our goal right now is focusing on Austin. The food scene here is amazing. The variety of chefs and farms to purchase from is really great.”

In the early days of man-aging her prepackaged meal company, Gourmet By Num-bers, Heather Amalaha’s life was a series of transitions from one kitchen to another. After dropping her kids off at school shortly after 7 a.m., she would drive to the rented kitchen she used to prepare meals, where she remained until it was time to head home for a few hours and cook dinner. Later that evening, she was back in the rented kitchen.
At its core, the company re-volved around an idea that she had been fostering since col-lege: to provide healthy, ready-to-cook meal kits straight to customers’ doors. After a successful crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, the business has grown to include
Three days after etch-ing their name into history as just the fifth program to reach 1,000 all-time wins, the No. 6 Texas Longhorns faced an early 12-15 deficit and a variety of zone defenses on the road against Kansas State.
Texas missed its first six shots, shot just 32 percent from the field in the first quarter and watched the three-point deficit grow to seven with its leading scor-er and rebounder, senior center Imani Boyette, on the bench after picking up two fouls just three min-utes into the game.
By the end of the first, the Longhorns cut the defi-cit back to three, before outscoring Kansas State 17-6 in the second quarter and building on a 29-21 halftime lead en route to a 66-51 win Saturday night.
With Boyette and sopho-more guard Ariel Atkins out early with foul trouble, Texas’ (20–1, 9–1 Big 12)
bench stepped up. Junior center Kelsey Lang scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds, while sopho-more guard Tasia Foman knocked down a 3-pointer late in the second to push the lead to eight.
Boyette returned in the third quarter, but never got in rhythm. She finished with just eight points and eight rebounds.
But Texas’ advantage at the free throw line made up for her absence. Texas shot 87.5 percent from the line, compared to Kansas State’s 65.2 percent.
In addition to shooting well from the free throw line, Texas shot 31 percent from the 3-point line. Sophomore guard Brooke McCarty led all scorers with 15 points, four rebounds and two steals. She shot 4-of-7 from beyond the arc — three of which came at crucial moments.
The League City native hit a 3-pointer late in the third to put Texas up 40-27, their largest lead of the game. She followed that
with another three early in the fourth to push Texas’ lead to 18. Kansas State (14–6, 4–5 Big 12) pulled within 14 following a 9-4 run, but McCarty hit yet an-other three to seal the deal.
Texas shot just 37.7
percent from the field, but outrebounded the Wildcats 41-23, while recording four blocks and 17 assists.
Junior center Breanna Lewis led Kansas State with 12 points and four re-bounds before fouling out.
The win moves the Longhorns back atop of the Big 12 standings.
Texas has a bit of a break before facing Iowa State (11–9, 3–6 Big 12) on Feb. 6 on the road. Tipoff is set for 1:30 p.m.
The challenging outdoor conditions proved no obsta-cle for Texas swimming and diving this weekend as both the men’s and women’s teams defeated Arizona.
The No. 1 men’s team de-feated No. 15 Arizona 167-128, while the women won 154-146.
Freshman Townley Haas led the 1000-yard freestyle from start to finish. Sopho-more Brett Ringgold won the 100-yard backstroke with a time 48.94.
Freshman Ryan Harty posted first-place wins in the 200-yard freestyle at 1:38.28 and the 200-yard butterfly at 1:47.94. He also posted
the unofficial top time in the 200-yard backstroke, which was an exhibition swim for the freshman.
On the diving board, ju-nior Mark Anderson and recently returned junior Sean O’Brien took the one-two Texas sweep in the one-meter dive at 383.18 and 376.20, respectively.
The No. 4 Texas women defeated No. 14 Arizona, 154-146, behind All-Amer-ican junior Madisyn Cox’s three wins. Texas (8–2) won nine of 16 events on
Friday evening.Cox kicked off her day by
winning the 200-yard free-style in 1:48.42. Freshman Joanna Evans and Quinn Carrozza took second and third in the same event, re-spectively. Cox later notched victories in the 200-yard backstroke and 200-yard in-dividual medley.
Evans won the 1000-yard freestyle with a time of 9:58.94. Minutes after her swim, Evans also helped Texas sweep the 200-yard freestyle, going on to tab
one more win in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:49.17.
Freshman Meghan O’Brien was Texas’ top diver in the meet. She won the one-me-
ter and placed second in the three-meter event while se-nior Meghan Houston took second in the one-meter.
Texas returns to action on Feb. 5 to face TCU in Austin.
The Longhorns and Bears last met up on March 2, 2015 in Austin. Texas took down the Bears in overtime, but it wasn’t without drama.
With 1:57 left in over-time, junior guard Isaiah Taylor, then a sophomore, dove to the floor to grab a loose ball along with former Baylor forward Royce O’Neale.
The skirmish led to a benches-clearing brawl between both teams, sev-en ejections and a bust-ed lip for Taylor. Head coach Shaka Smart wasn’t around last year, but had some thoughts.
“You call that a fight?” Smart said. “I can only speak for our team, but you’ve got to play with a level of poise out there playing basketball.”
Texas and No. 17 Bay-lor meet for the first time since that fight when the Longhorns travel to Waco to play the Bears on Mon-day night.
“We know the last time we played Baylor was a hard-fought game, it went to overtime,” Taylor said. “Things got flared up, emotions consumed. But we’re not worried about last year, we’re focused on this next game coming up Monday night.”
The Longhorns are com-ing off a 72–58 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday
at the Frank Erwin Cen-ter as part of the Big 12 SEC Challenge. The Long-horns are 4–1 in their last five games, with the only loss coming to Kansas on the road.
But things are about to get much tougher for Texas. Out of the final 10 games of the season, seven are against teams that are currently ranked in the AP Poll, starting with the Bears on Monday.
“I think they’re oppor-tunities,” Smart said. “You either ‘get to’ play those games or you ‘got to.’ My college coach, he had a fa-mous saying, he said this a million times, he always used to say, ‘It’s too late to cancel.’ So we’re going to play those games.”
The Longhorns have fared well against tougher competition this season. Texas is 3–2 this season against teams in the AP
Top 25, with one of those wins coming on the road in West Virginia.
“We’re not going to ap-proach it any different than we do any game,” senior center Prince Ibeh said. “Our coach will give us the scouting routine and we’ll go do it that way.”
The Longhorns’ solid end to the month of Janu-ary puts them at 14–7 over-all, 5–3 in the conference and right in the thick of
the Big 12 race. Now, with a tough February schedule ahead, Texas has to try and build on their strong start, beginning with Baylor.
“The good news is that we don’t have to play them all at the same time,” Smart said. “We can play, on a given day, we can play one. We’ll have Baylor on Mon-day at their place and then, regardless of what happens in that game, we’ll continue trying to get better.”

Men’s golf picks up first win of season
The Texas men’s golf team got into the win col-umn for the first time this season with a five-shot vic-tory at the Arizona Inter-collegiate on Saturday.
In their first tournament of the spring season, the No. 10 Longhorns were able to rally from eight shots back of No. 23 Washington in the final round. Texas turned in a 7-under par performance in the final round to finish 9-under, while Washington faltered with a 6-over par day to finish 4-under.
Junior Beau Hossler grabbed his second win of the season, the third of his career, finishing at 11-un-der par and two shots ahead of Washington’s Frank Garber. Hossler fired rounds of 65, 70 and 67, increasing his rounds under par streak to nine.
“For our first event of the spring, we are happy to get a win,” head coach John Fields said. “Beau Hossler’s victory was outstanding on a fine golf course.”
All five Longhorns were able to finish in the top 25. Sophomore Doug Ghim finished 1-under par and in seventh after rounds of 72, 70 and 70. Junior Gavin Hall finished in a tie for ninth at 2-over par, posting rounds of 74, 72 and 69.
Sophomore Scottie Scheffler tied for 17th at 5-over par, and sopho-more Taylor Funk tied for 23rd at 8-over par.
In the Arizona Medalist, an individual competition held at a separate course for players not compet-ing as part of their team, sophomore Branson Davis picked up his first career victory with a 2-under par finish, posting rounds of 72, 68 and 71. Junior Kale-na Preus finished in third at 4-over par.
The Longhorns look to keep the momentum go-ing as they head to Kauai, Hawaii, Feb. 17-19 for the John Burns Intercollegiate at the Wailua Golf Club.

After dropping her kids off at school shortly after 7 a.m., she would drive to the rented kitchen she used to prepare meals, where she remained until it was time to head home for a few hours and cook dinner. Later that evening, she was back in the rented kitchen.
At its core, the company re-volved around an idea that she had been fostering since col-lege: to provide healthy, ready-to-cook meal kits straight to customers’ doors. After a successful crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, the business has grown to include
seven employees and a brick-and-mortar location in North Austin, where chefs prepare meals that customers can then cook in less than 30 minutes.
“I was working in corpo-rate America, and I realized how hard it is to get a home-cooked meal on the table before my kids had to go to bed,” Amalaha said. “That’s when I decided it was some-thing that I wanted to really pursue. These are meals that you’re not gonna just throw in the oven and reheat. You really get to have a hand in the cooking process.”
The “Numbers” in Gourmet By Numbers comes from the meal kits’ numbered, prepped ingredients that customers combine to cook meals such as Indian-spiced turkey and vegetable chili, rosemary pork chops and shrimp pad thai. Customers can select from
a rotating menu that offers 30 meals a month, and then either pick up the meals or have them delivered. Amalaha spends her days delivering, shopping for ingredients, con-sulting with her chefs and han-dling orders.
“I think you know that it’s gonna be hard [to start a business], but until you’re doing it, you don’t really know how hard it’s going to be,” Amalaha said. “I’ve never worked this much in my en-tire life, but at the same time, I’ve never been as rewarded for the work that I’m doing.”
Amalaha enlisted her
brother, UT alumnus Bren-don Davidson, to build and maintain the Gourmet By Numbers website. Davidson, who majored in computer science at UT, recalls see-ing entrepreneurial drive in Amalaha from an early age, when she began selling baked goods at the end of their driveway.
“She’s always been smart and driven, but I see her becom-ing increasingly more confi-dent and decisive,” Davidson said in an email. “I’ve worked in startups pretty much my

A churning river of tur-quoise and indigo flows along the far wall of UT alumna Deanna Miesch’s office, link-ing together an elaborate scene of trees and wild ani-mals. The felt tapestry, which Miesch created over the course of several years, sets the scene for the work she does here as a licensed art therapist.
Miesch spends her days helping clients improve their emotional and physical well-being by creating art. Dur-ing sessions at Art Therapy Austin, the private practice she founded in 2003, Miesch plays the part of both facilita-tor and observer. Miesch al-lows her clients to choose any medium and subject matter, offering personalized support along the way.
“My role is sort of a guide,” Miesch said. “I’m reintroduc-ing a whole world in many cas-es for people, so we’re building a relationship and building trust. I’m really helping the cli-ent discover their own way of expressing themselves.”
Art therapy has its roots in psychoanalysis, the practice of delving into the unconscious that was created by Austrian physician Sigmund Freud. Art therapists help their clients use art to access those areas of the unconscious that were previ-ously unacknowledged. Ac-cording to licensed art thera-pist DeAnn Acton, recent advances in neuroscience have drawn increased attention to the field of art therapy, espe-cially in cases of trauma.
“In most talk therapy, we’re trying to access information in the pre-frontal cortex of the brain,” Acton said. “But
the way trauma works, it’s not necessarily stored in the same area. So when I have someone working with a piece of clay while we’re talking, it actually accesses more information in the brain. We’re more likely to get to some of those feelings and some of that unconscious material that they can’t get to through talking.”
Miesch said she was drawn to her East Side office because of the community of artists that resided there at the time.
As her practice grew, Miesch eventually reached out to fel-low UT alumni Acton and li-censed art therapist Shannon Mekuly to join her.
“It’s nice to have a com-munity,” Acton said. “I’ll pick Shannon’s brain and I’ll be like, ‘Shannon, what do you think about this?’ So we do some consultation together.”
As the field’s profile has ris-en, Miesch said she has seen more people turn to art thera-py to bypass the challenges of
more traditional talk therapy. Miesch said she works with clients of all ages, from chil-dren to senior citizens.
“Maybe they are more in-troverted and maybe talking is more of a struggle,” Miesch said. “I think most people un-derstand art therapy most eas-ily when they think about chil-dren, but it’s really wonderful for anyone, any age. It doesn’t really matter who you are.”
Working as an art therapist requires a master’s degree,
which potential therapists must seek outside of Texas due to the lack of an art ther-apy program within the state. Miesch said she would like to see a program at UT.
“We’re ripe because there’s a lot of art therapists here in Austin,” Miesch said. “I start-ed offering art therapy pro-fession workshops because I have people contact me all the time because they want to be-come art therapists and there are no resources here.”
For Mekuly, part of the appeal of working as an art therapist lies in fostering pre-viously untapped talent.
“I have been blown away by the art sometimes,” Mekuly said. “Like just breathless. And then you listen to some-body process the art that they made therapeutically, with in-sight and authentic emotions, and it’s just a magical experi-ence. Even an image that rep-resents ugly feelings can still be beautiful if it’s real.”

Pioneers experiment with psychedelic rock
Surrealistic PillowJefferson Airplane
After their debut album achieved moderate suc-cess, Jefferson Airplane reimagined their sound, combining folk influences with psychedelic rock to help expose psychedelia to the masses.
With the Grateful Dead’s guitarist Jerry Gar-cia on board as Jefferson Airplane’s “musical and spiritual advisor,” Surreal-istic Pillow finds its charm in its simple instrumenta-tion and bluesy lyrics. The band’s pop-oriented approach to songwriting gave their 1967 record a concise and crisp feel, with the album spend-ing most of the sum-mer of love at the top of the charts.

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn Pink Floyd
Before David Gilmour joined Pink Floyd and
helped the group create progressive classics such as Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, Syd Barrett led the band with a heavy psychedelic influence, helping Pink Floyd craft their first al-bum, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
The Piper at the Gates of Dawn feeds off of Bar-rett’s favorite children’s book, “The Wind in the Willows,” incorporat-ing colorful and childlike imagery he saw through the lens of hallucinogens. Each song on the album is centered around catchy pop chords, but most break down into trippy jams and chaotic lyrics.
