Chipotle has introduced a delivery service for all of its menu items through the website and mobile ap-plication Postmates.

Postmates coordinates a system of local couriers who deliver items, includ-ing food and groceries, to customers. Postmates was founded in San Francisco and currently operates in 67 cities. The Chipo-tle partnership began last week and will operate throughout every city in which Postmates is located.

The delivery fee for Postmates ranges from $4.99-$7.99, depending on the total distance the courier travels. On top of the delivery fee, Postmates charges a nine percent ser-vice fee on the cost of the Chipotle order.

Postmates is receiving more orders as a result of Chipotle’s new delivery ser-vice, Austin Postmates man-ager Macey Morrison said.

“Traffic has absolutely increased,” Morrison said. “We’re already seeing more Chipotle orders.”

The Chipotle manage-ment and marketing team

declined to comment on the partnership.

Even before the partner-ship was official, custom-ers have been able to order Chipotle through Post-mates, and both compa-nies have already profited as a result.

According to Forbes, Chipotle saw a 30 percent

monthly growth in cus-tomers’ use of Postmates for Chipotle orders in 2015. Additionally, Postmates reported $500,000-worth of Chipotle deliveries in the first quarter of 2015. Mathematics junior Chris Lin said he believes

Buying a beer could be as easy as pressing a button after this legislative session.

Rep. Richard Raymond (D-Laredo) is working to le-galize the sale of alcohol in vending machines at certain establishments licensed for the on-premise consumption of alcohol. Vice chair Roland Gutierrez (D-San Antonio) laid out the bill at a hearing for the bill Monday.

Customers would present their IDs to the establishment’s staff and receive a wristband to verify that the consumer is over 21 years old, Gutierrez said.

“The customer must pres-ent an employee of the es-tablishment with a valid ID, which is scanned into a data-base and tied to a customer’s credit card,” Gutierrez said. “The customer is then given a uniquely encoded wristband to access the machine.”

The bands would track the

Pedestrian fatalities higher in 2015STATE

House seeks to set policy for sexual assault casesThe number of pedestrian

deaths in Austin has in-creased compared to this time last year, with nine deaths oc-curring since January.

In 2014, there were 15 pedestrian deaths total. The Austin Police Depart-ment has not identified a pattern in the locations of these deaths, according to APD officer Hank Aguilar.

“Once they put all the information together and

they see a pattern, … that’s when they start the initia-tives and try to bring more of the public’s attention to that issue,” Aguilar said.

With no initiatives on-going around campus, Aguilar said officers are focusing on the depart-ment’s “Don’t Block the Box” project in downtown intersections. The initia-tive aims to keep cars from idling in the middle of intersections, which can block oncoming traffic from cars and pedestrians.

This situation is not limited to downtown in-tersections — it often oc-curs at intersections along Guadalupe Street, where students cross their way to class and West Campus. Art history junior Marisa Hunt said she has seen many people almost get hit by cars.

“It’s pretty scary because you think you’re safe to walk, and then there’s a car coming at you,” Hunt said.

State lawmakers are working to set state guidelines for how universities handle sexual assault.

The House gave initial ap-proval Monday to a bill requir-ing universities to set definitions of sexual assault and sanctions for violations, present an orien-tation presentation on sexual assault and layout response and reporting protocols. The bill, proposed by Rep. Alfonso Nevárez (D-Eagle Pass) would also mandate that universities create a web page dedicated to reporting findings on sexual as-sault and sharing resources with students, faculty and staff.

Jennifer Hammat, associ-ate vice president of University Compliance Services, said UT currently meets most of the re-quirements laid out in the bill through requirements set in the Clery Act, a federal man-date that requires universities to report sexual assault cases that occur on campus.

“What the Clery Act does not do is cause review every year from the universities and also include these in orientations for universities,” Nevárez said.

The University does not meet the requirement for a stand-alone website, but Ham-mat said it is in the process of creating one.

“If Texas wants to be against relationship violence, against sexual violence — I support that,” Hammat said. “There are always going to be redundancies, … but it does look like they’ve at least said, … ‘the state is going to hold you accountable.’”

UT had a total of 21 sexual assault cases and a combined

Chancellor William McRaven gave a lecture on national defense and security Monday for the Glickman Centennial Lec-ture at the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center.

McRaven, a retired four-star admiral in the Unit-ed States Military, spoke about the greatest changes in the field during his time.

“9/11 has fundamen-tally changed everything about how we do busi-ness,” McRaven said. “For-tunately, the government was good to us. They rec-ognized the value of spe-cial operations, and they funded it, and they grew the force appropriately.”

Plan II senior Mark Jbeily said he agreed with

McRaven that terror-ism is the greatest threat to society. Jbeily, a Mar-shall Scholar, said Ameri-cans are reminded of the threat of terrorism be-cause of recent successful terrorist attacks.

“I agree with what [McRaven] said about the greatest threat to our se-curity,” Jbeily said. “The terrorist threat that we saw after 9/11 has evolved, but it’s an ongoing threat, and when you don’t have — thank goodness — attacks on the homeland and at-tacks on high-visibility tar-gets, I think people start to forget. But the reason we don’t have those attacks is because there [are] a lot of people working hard to make sure those attacks

Postmates’ partnership with Chipotle will in-crease its value in com-parison to other delivery service applications, such as Favor.

“Even though Post-mates’ delivery fee may cost more than Favor’s delivery fee, Postmates’ partnership with Chipo-tle adds an incredible val-ue to the app,” Lin said.

Postmates’ ordering process with Chipotle remains the same as its ordering process through other restaurants, despite the official partnership between Postmates and Chipotle, Morrison said.

“We haven’t had any complications with de-livering orders from Chipotle,” Morrison said. “Postmates’ customer service team will call in orders ahead of time and put them under the Post-mates name.”

Postmates and Chipo-tle are working on the de-tails for a system that will streamline the ordering process, Morrison said.

Biomedical engineering freshman David Sung said Postmates will become more popular over the last month of the school year because of its partnership with Chipotle.

“When people are studying for their final ex-ams in the next few weeks, they are going to want to eat without wasting study time,” Sung said. “That’s when they use Postmates for Chipotle.”

CHIPOTLEcontinues from page 1

amount of alcohol consumed by a bar patron and limit alco-hol intake. Vending machine users would be cut off after 30 ounces of beer, 10 ounces of wine or three ounces of li-quor, Gutierrez said.

The standard drink is 12 ounces of beer, five ounces of wine and about one-and-a-half ounces of liquor.

“The automated dispens-ing machine system benefits businesses by reducing over-head and staff costs, allowing for easier management of inventory, strictly controlling customers’ consumption and guarding against underage drinking,” Gutierrez said.

Alexandria Allen, a Man-agement Information Systems senior and bartender on Red River Street, said she thinks the machines could limit bartender wages, as many of

them depend on tips. “It would kind of make

things more difficult for the wait staff and bartenders be-cause we make our money based on how many drinks we give to people and how we do it,” Allen said. “If they’re getting their wristbands from us, but they’re getting their beer from vending machines, then it kind of cuts out a lot of our money.”

Minors could also poten-tially use others’ wristbands, Allen said.

“I’m pretty sure the wrist-band can somehow be taken off and transferred between people,” Allen said.

Although she has her concerns about the bill, Al-len said the machines could reduce alcohol consumption since it would automatically cut people off after a certain number of drinks.

Shane Ali, a biology senior who used to bartend house

parties, said he believes the machines would work best in establishments where non-student crowds work. He said, in his experience, bartend-ers are necessary to monitor rowdy college crowds.

Students also tend to order specialty drinks that may not be available in vending ma-chines, Ali said.

“One of the reasons that people go to bars are for, like, their favorite shot or fancy shots that are being made instead of a glass of wine or a quick beer,” Ali said.

According to advertising junior Kara Endahl, vending machines could be more con-venient when at a crowded bar or other establishment.

“I think it would save a lot of time because the lines at bars get so backed up, espe-cially if there’s a big game go-ing on,” Endahl said. “I know last time we were waiting for, like, 30 minutes for a beer.”

90 cases of dating violence, do-mestic violence and stalking on campus in 2013, the most re-cent year with available sexual assault information for UT.

A number of cases go unre-ported because of multiple fac-tors, including embarrassment or stigma attached to sexual assault, Hammat said.

“For every person that is ex-periencing sexual assault, the way they process that informa-tion is very different. … This is not something people like to talk about, so oftentimes, they do not report it,” Hammat said.

Victims of sexual assault have the option to report attacks to the University of Texas Police Department or other University entities, UTPD spokeswoman Cindy Posey said.

“If they want to report it to the police and possibly file charges, they can,” Posey said. “If they don’t, then they can just report it to UT, and UT will handle it internally.”

Hammat said the University works to provide resources for sexual assault and sexual ha-rassment online through cam-pus organizations. Resources on campus include Student Emergency Services and Voices Against Violence.

ASSAULTcontinues from page 1

“You’ll be crossing the street, and cars are trying to turn at the same time, and a lot of cars will aim at you to try to make you move faster.”

Additionally, Aguilar said walking on highways puts pedestrians at risk. Three of the nine deaths this year have occurred on highways.

“It’s always been a problem,” Aguilar said, “Especially people using it on the northern side of the city as a way to get from one side of the free-way to the other without having to go all the way around or down to the town roads, and unfortu-nately people get hit.”

In Texas, it’s against the law to cross highways by foot, and Aguilar said the department always works on strictly enforcing the law.

“They’re not meant for pedestrian traffic — there’s no reason for a pedestrian to do it unless someone needs help, or you’re trying to get off a freeway if your car breaks down,” Aguilar said.

While Aguilar said of-ficers have found pedes-trians are often walking negligently when they are hit and that drivers aren’t at fault, civil engineering senior Christine Wait said she feels drivers in traffic should be more aware of pedestrians.

“I don’t feel like it’s dangerous to cross the light if you’re smart about it, but I feel like most of the time traffic is pretty good about when they’re slowing down and stop-ping,” Wait said.

In order to ensure their safety, Aguilar said people need to avoid distractions.

“The most important thing is to be alert, and pay attention,” Agui-lar said. “A lot of times people are distracted — they either have their headphones in, so they can’t hear, they’re texting or on the phone and not paying attention to the area around them, cross-ing midblock when they shouldn’t be, not look-ing both ways when they cross the street. Things like that are common errors that contribute to vehicle-pedestrian collisions.”

PEDESTRIANcontinues from page 1

Despite death row inmate Rodney Reed being granted a stay, the fight for his free-dom continues, according to his brother Rodrick Reed, who spoke Monday at a pan-el about his case.

In 1998, an all-white jury in Bastrop, Texas, convicted Rodney Reed, a black man, for the murder of Stacey Stites in a trial that critics have called racially biased. Reed, who has maintained his innocence, was granted a stay before his execution date on March 5, which delayed his case and execution. Ro-drick Reed said the commu-nity must continue to push for his freedom.

“A lot of people have re-laxed, thinking he’s on his way home, but we still have to fight,” Rodrick said. “My brother is still locked up, and the fight must continue until we bring him home, and even after that, we still must fight for justice.”

Although the stay is a great victory for those against the death penalty, the fight may only get hard-er, according to Ben Wolff, panelist and attorney for Texas Defender Service.

“Here’s the urgency about

this: No one’s won,” Wolff said. “He’s still on death row, and he’s still there unjustly and an innocent man. The first time the state of Texas seeks to execute someone, they have to give at least 90 days’ notice. The second time, … 30 days.”

Ana Hernandez, panel-ist and vice president of UT’s Amnesty International chapter, said the death pen-alty is racist, punishes the poor and condemns the in-nocent to death, especially

in Reed’s case, who has lived the last 20 years of his life in a 6-by-11-foot jail cell.

“I think that stressing the indignity of his current situation and the fact that it is unjust for an innocent person to face those circum-stances for over 18 years — I think that finding a way to convey that kind of urgency is important,” Hernandez said. “There is no end date for your activism.”

The support of UT stu-dents and other members

of the Austin community helped the case receive na-tional attention, Reed said.

don’t happen.” McRaven said the first

thing he did when he took his job at U.S. Special Op-erations was to call on FedEx to share how they do business.

“[FedEx] is a global en-terprise, just like we were, and I wanted to know how they were able to act lo-cally but function globally,” McRaven said.

The connections be-tween illegal and mali-cious entities through-out the world continue to be areas of great con-cern for national defense, McRaven said.

“Everything is connected

— it is a network out there, and this was the thing that we found very early on in our fight, and it surprised us,” McRaven said. “We in special operations had to build a network to defeat a network.”

Having dealt with inter-national struggles in spe-cial operations, McRaven said the notion that global struggles should not con-cern the United States wor-ries him.

“There is no such thing as a local problem,” McRa-ven said. “Today, in the en-vironment we’re in, part of my concern is sometimes we sit between the Pacific and the Atlantic, and we say, ‘You know what hap-pens in Algeria. That’s a

long ways away. I don’t re-ally think we have to worry about it.’”

Suzan Glickman, the wife of the lecture’s namesake, Julius Glickman, said the lecture was a good oppor-tunity for the community to interact with McRaven.

“I think it’s great the peo-ple get to know [McRaven] and see what his vision is, partly for the University of Texas but also the special ops and what’s going on in the world,” Glickman said. “He’s very bright, has been in all kinds of positions of authority, and when you see his personality, you can know what he’s going to be and how far-thinking he is for the University of Texas.”

Panel discusses stay in Rodney Reed caseBy Nashwa Bawab

Professor: Supreme Court will reject same-sex marriage bans

A university profes-sor predicts that the U.S. Supreme Court will rule against bans on same-sex marriage this week.

There has been a remark-able change in public opin-ion in the past five years, and the court will cause more tension if it votes in opposition, Sanford Levin-son, professor of consti-tutional law and govern-ment, said. A 2013 study held by the Pew Research Center showed a majority of Americans endorse gay marriages — among those aged 18 to 29, support is as high as 70 percent.

“Even four years ago, the court may have found that the safe thing to do was not intervene, but today poli-tics are different,” Levinson said. “The court will get lots of applause, and many politicians will be ecstatic if the court takes this issue out of the 2016 race.”

The question is less about whether the court will affirm marriage equal-ity and more about how, Levinson said. The court could focus on the purpose

of marriage or the four-teenth amendment’s anti-discrimination clause.

“[Illegality of ] marriage is one illustration of dis-crimination against the LGBT community, and that would have more implica-tions for a variety of laws that discriminate,” Levin-son said.

Although statistics show it is increasingly common for youths to support gay marriage, they should be conscious of the effort it took to get here, law stu-dent Louis Lobel said.

“Don’t forget about the many LGBTQ people that suffered to get to this point,” Lobel said, who is vice president of OUTlaw, an LGBTQ student orga-nization in the law school. “[Now,] nobody wants to be on the wrong side of history.”

Many American corpo-rations showed support for gay rights in March by opposing proposed legisla-tion aiming to allow busi-nesses to deny service to gay people. Levinson said this showed an unprece-dented level of support for the LGBT community in American politics.

“These shifts by major businesses are influenc-ing Republican candi-dates to come out against legislation designed to stop same-sex marriages,” Levinson said.

While the political cli-mate is warming up to marriage equality, there are more issues politi-cians need to address on a state or national level, said Jordan Wilk, Eng-lish junior and event co-ordinator for the Queer Student Alliance.

“The community still faces a variety of issues, such as youth homeless-ness after coming out to their families and murders and everyday violence of queer and trans people of color,” Wilk said.

NEWS BRIEFLY

The Senate State Affairs Committee heard a bill Mon-day that, if passed, would re-move abortion coverage from the Affordable Care Act.

The Affordable Care Act, of-ten referred to as “Obamacare,” is a federally mandated insur-ance policy that aims to offer affordable insurance options for users. Texas operates un-der the plan’s federal mandate, which allows the state to set its policy on abortion coverage.

“This bill is not a ban on elective abortions,” Sen. Larry Taylor (R-Friendswood) said. “In fact, this bill is all about choice. Under this bill, you can choose to pay for abortions, or you can choose to not pay for the abortions of others.”

SB 575 would limit abortion coverage to medical emergen-cies when a “life-threatening physical condition exists.” Those who desire an abortion could attain coverage for the procedure from supplemental providers, according to Taylor.

Jennifer Allmon, a represen-tative from the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops, said the bill prevents the subsidizing of abortion coverage by those who disagree with it.

“The issue here is that those of us who strongly disagree with [abortion] should not be forced to provide coverage for that,” Allmon said.

Sen. Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo) questioned whether the bill would increase costs for women purchasing indepen-dent coverage.

“Is it correct to say then that the practical effect of this bill would be to make abortion un-insurable?” Zaffirini said.

Removing abortion cover-age from the Affordable Care Act in Texas would limit abor-tion options, according to Grace Chimene, a member of the League of Women Voters and a nurse practitioner.

“Without health insurance coverage for abortion, many will be forced to turn to cheap, unsafe methods and provid-ers — endangering their lives,” Chimene said.

The internship economy is less than ideal for most college students, who often have to work long hours for little or no pay in or-der to gain the sort of entry-level experience that so many employers require.

But the system’s biggest victims aren’t the interns themselves but rather those whose financial circumstances prevent them from interning in the first place.

For students already struggling to pay tu-ition and rent, it’s impossible to sacrifice a semester’s or a summer’s worth of wages in exchange for a chance at better job prospects in the future. That means that those who can afford to work for free gain a notable advan-tage in the hiring process over those who can’t, and an economy that’s supposed to be meritocratic winds up closing off opportuni-ties for the young, bright and economically disadvantaged.

That kind of inequity should be especial-ly concerning for a school like UT, which serves a huge number of students from low-income backgrounds by virtue of its size and admission procedures. Yet the University’s work-study program, which is theoreti-cally designed to provide poorer students with opportunities already afforded to their wealthier counterparts, is almost patheti-cally small.

According to the Office of Student Finan-cial Services, there are only 844 people en-rolled in UT’s work-study programs, a mi-nuscule number for such an economically diverse school. To make matters worse, none are currently working in the private sector.

While there’s no guarantee that an off-campus job would carry the same benefits as an internship, there’s equally little experi-ential value in working behind a secretarial desk or a dining hall cash register. Those kinds of work-study positions also carry a strong opportunity cost, depriving partici-pants of the chance to intern, volunteer or get involved with student organizations.

In essence, UT’s shallow pool of work-study job offerings deprives some of its neediest students of invaluable networking and leadership opportunities.

A bill currently under consideration in the Texas Legislature seeks to address that issue by requiring universities to expand

their work-study programs into the private sector. If enacted, the legislation would help the state’s needier students escape the kinds of menial or unskilled on-campus positions that can hold them back from competing for high-profile jobs in the future.

Whether or not the bill would have a significant impact in practice is unclear. Its strictest provisions only apply to schools in cities with over 1 million residents, so UT wouldn’t have to substantially reform its work-study system until Austin breaks that barrier within the next few years. And the usefulness of a work-study job depends on the tasks it assigns and the skills it con-fers, not whether or not a private company is writing a percentage of the paychecks. Working at an ad agency or a PR firm would be far more meaningful for a marketing ma-jor than cleaning tables at Kinsolving. Tak-ing orders at an off campus restaurant prob-ably wouldn’t be. If the private-sector jobs that schools provide wind up looking like the on-campus jobs being replaced, the new system would have exactly the same prob-lems as the current one.

So regardless of whether the bill pass-es, UT should still make an effort to im-prove its work-study offerings in order to adequately prepare low-income students for life after graduation. Even without ex-panding employment opportunities off-campus, there are plenty of ways to do that.

As it’s currently constructed, the work-study program mostly funnels participants into service-level jobs or low-ranking ad-ministrative positions. But a school with UT’s research capabilities should have no trouble establishing more academic work opportunities for interested students.

For example, professors or graduate stu-dents in need of research assistants could connect with compatible work-study recipi-ents via the program’s online job bank. And there are plenty of on-campus laboratories or archives in need of maintenance and organization. Placing work-study recipi-ents in those environments can give them the access to field-specific experience that wealthier students can gain through poorly compensated internships.

Adopting these kinds of reforms would al-low the University to help remedy a major economic injustice. There’s no reason for it to wait for regulations from the statehouse in order to do so.

I learned to find beauty in the violent still-ness of the night sky from the catwalks of the McDonald Observatory.

For the first few minutes, the west Texas sky appears unimpressive as through the haze of a dense city like Austin. The sheer darkness is impressive, like swimming at the bottom of the deep end. But only after the first ten minutes do your pupils fully dilate, bringing into full focus a sky wet with stars.

Ursa Major, what looks like just seven stars arranged as a big dipper from inside the city, reveals itself as a thousand points of light. The Milky Way arches across the sky, the center of our host galaxy a brilliant but soft blanket of gas, dust and countless stars.

Standing still atop an ocean of darkness in west Texas, where street lamps and car head-lights are few and far between, the slow pace of our Universe becomes overwhelmingly evi-dent. The cascade of stars sits idle, each silently burning, and the gusty mountain winds are the only soundtrack to your midnight vista.

Occasionally, there is a flash. It is so dark that your eyes can see a bounty of meteors on their kamikaze trips through the Earth’s atmo-sphere. But there is a steadiness to the sky that belies its beauty.

It is easy to forget that we are standing atop a blue marble that is hurtling through space, rotating at more than 900 miles an hour. That rotation causes the stars to inch along in the night, offering a fresh face to the sky ev-ery few hours. But even the stars themselves never sit perfectly still. They roil at the surface

from convection or are occasionally eclipsed, starlight momentarily blocked by an orbiting star or perhaps even an alien planet. These are the quirks in the light that allow astronomers vastly more information into stars so far away it takes light hundreds or thousands of years to reach our fair planet.

Through some perversely lucky twist of fate, I ended up spending more than 220 nights over four years in west Texas, training the 75-year-old, 2.1-meter Otto Struve telescope at the heavens. I was mostly looking at white dwarfs, the burnt-out cores of stars like our Sun, and I spent my nights watching the brightness of these dying stars change in far more detail than available to my small set of eyes.

So while I was inspired by the thrill of dis-covering new things about the Universe, using star-quakes to peer below the surface of these extremely dense objects or watching a rare pair of stars orbiting each other every 12.75 minutes slide closer together as a result of the normally puny effects of gravitational waves, I often found more perspective in just staring up at the cloudless west Texas sky.

The 450-mile drive out to McDonald Obser-vatory can be a touch intimidating, but cruise control and a few episodes of “This American Life” make the time melt by. It is certainly worth the momentary escape from city life, for a dip in the refreshingly clear waters of Balmorhea State Park, for some inspiration in Marfa.

And there’s no better place in Texas to look up into the darkness, to slow your breathing and to sink into the rhythm of the violent still-ness of the night sky.

Hermes is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Warwick. He completed a PhD in astronomy at the University of Texas in 2013, and as an undergraduate, served as editor-in-chief of The Daily Texan from 2006-2007. Some of this column was adapted from the textbook “We’re Texas: Astronomy,” published by Kendall Hunt.

We live in a time when openness and secrecy have both increased. With social media and other Internet communications, it is easier than ever to procure information about topics from foreign affairs and domestic policy to business transactions and personal relationships. Any-one with an iPhone and a USB flash drive can easily copy a document or record an event and then circulate it instantaneously to the world.

This is the story of Wikileaks, which posted thousands of formerly secret U.S. government documents, and Twitter-savvy activists in Chi-na, Russia and the Middle East who use pho-tos of their repressed public demonstrations to inspire international hopes for political change. Social media has facilitated the flow of formerly secret information; they have made it harder for governments and other powerful groups to control what we see.

The paradox of greater information access In this information-rich environment, secre-

cy about decision-making has, paradoxically, increased. That is because people are more care-ful than ever to avoid documenting their deci-sions. The risks of revelation on the Internet are too great; the fears of intentional manipulation by adversaries are too real.

Presidents, for example, used to record their conversations and maintain personal diaries. Their assistants wrote long memoranda ex-plaining how they made their most important decisions. Now, they generally avoid these ex-ercises. Business leaders had secretaries who transcribed their meetings and telephone con-versations. They also wrote revealing letters to partners and confidants. Now they prefer to keep their notes to a minimum.

Email has become the most ubiquitous form of daily communication, but anyone with any sense carefully sanitizes their comments before hitting the send button. The risk of the mass-circulated email reduces the candor of the writ-

er and the recipients. More open communica-tions are more cautious communications. The opinions that count are self-censored.

How can we preserve forthrightness in official

communications? These circumstances pose a series of chal-

lenges. How do we manage the surplus of in-formation and the scarcity of decision-making detail? How do we protect privacy and confi-dentiality where they are necessary while also maintaining access and accountability? How do we encourage our leaders to lead, but keep our citizens and their representatives appropriately informed?

The recent revelations about U.S. drone strikes near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border that accidentally killed an American and an Italian hostage raise serious concerns. The public, members of Congress and U.S. legal authorities are ill-informed about what is tantamount to a government policy of tar-geted assassinations, directed by the presi-dent through the CIA and the Pentagon. How justified and accurate are the targets? What are the consequences? Who explores alterna-tives?

At the same time, when detailed infor-mation is released, as it was last week, news coverage obsesses over the mistakes and em-barrassments rather than the broader accom-plishments of the program, designed to kill terrorists and destroy their training grounds. Based on the accumulated evidence so far, we have reason to believe that the drone strikes ordered by President Barack Obama have reduced the capabilities of many terrorist groups with limited — although not insig-nificant — civilian damage.

Why it matters to policy-making Here we reach the heart of the issue. Effec-

tive policy-making in a democracy requires a difficult balance between informing the public and protecting confidential information. The problem is that we have only just begun to think

about how that bal-ance has evolved in our new media and threat landscape.

Too often, as in the case of the U.S. drone strikes, infor-mation access is un-even, inconsistent and therefore very difficult to evalu-ate. Observers can highlight heroic successes and mon-umental screw-ups, but an informed public evaluation of whether the policy is making us safer and protecting our international in-terests is impossible. We need precisely that public evaluation (and informed debate) if we are going to make intelligent choices as a society.

Democracy requires openness and secrecy, but their relationship should not be haphazard, as it is today. As with most policy dilemmas, historical experience offers some useful guide-lines. There is a long American tradition of avoiding public revelation of details that jeop-ardize military and other vital operations in real time. As early as the 19th century, American newspapers refrained from publishing plans for troop movements, weapons deployments and the names of vulnerable national representa-tives operating in hostile territories. Informa-tion that exposes legally sanctioned American missions and personnel to grave harm deserves protection.

Alongside this restraint, there is an equally strong tradition of the U.S. government work-ing to make its decision processes and its policy records as transparent as possible. No other country did more to explain itself and open its archives in the last two centuries than the United States.

Ultimately, the public has a right to know The scope of government materials available

to anyone online and in government reposito-ries, including the Lyndon B. Johnson Presi-dential Library on our campus, is unparalleled. The public has a right to know, and government officials (including those working in the intelli-gence agencies) have a constitutional obligation to do everything possible to inform the public, short of the most necessary restraints on infor-mation justified only as described above.

Panicked by new media and new threats, our leaders at all levels of society have strayed from the wisdom of our history. As a university, we should model and promote a return to our dem-ocratic roots: Protect the privacy and safety of the individual, but demand public transparency and accountability for how decisions are made.

Transparency and accountability are, in fact, our comparative advantage. They expose flawed assumptions and they help to build consensus for thoughtful actions. They provide a sound basis for managing secrecy better in a more open society.

Hummus may be the go-to snack for many students, but its main ingredient of-ten goes overlooked by the average consumer.

Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, belong to the legume family, meaning they’re related to lentils, peanuts and many varieties of beans. Le-gumes can lower a person’s risk of heart disease, and chick-peas themselves offer other key nutritional boosts. High in fiber and protein, chick-peas are popular in vegan and vegetarian diets.

Chickpeas also contain 10 different vitamins, including folate, which aids in the de-velopment of red blood cells and potentially wards off birth defects. Three tablespoons of chickpeas provides roughly the same amount of potassium as a small banana.

Chickpeas can be bought dried or in cans that typically list salt and other preservatives in the ingredients list. Canned chickpeas are lower in nutrition because of the canning and

storing process. When dealing with dried chickpeas, they must be soaked and slowly cooked in boiling water.

Chickpea snacks can also be found lining the shelves of grocery stores — a more recent phenomenon for the bite-sized balls of protein. Many of the snacks involve roasted, crunchy chickpeas with added spices and herbs for flavor.

Skip the prepackaged snacks, however, and make your own crunchy chickpeas at home. Simply toss soft chickpeas in olive oil, salt and preferred sea-sonings, and then place them in an oven preheated to 425 degrees. Stir and rotate the pan a few times, then enjoy a healthy, homemade snack. Also, try us-ing roasted chickpeas as crouton substitutes in salads or as taco toppers for some extra texture.

Chickpeas also make for a great dessert. The savory flavor of the beans can be masked by cocoa powder, vanilla extract and nut butters to create a healthier alternative to cookies and brownies. Many chickpea-based desserts also require little effort — just grab a blender or a food processor, and you’re

well on your way to a sweet and guilt-free treat.

Chickpea flour, also known as gram flour, comes from ground chickpeas. It is a natu-rally gluten-free flour that can also be used for baked goods — both sweet and savory. Try it in falafel or for your next pizza night. For sweeter uses, stick

to using it in dishes that have stronger flavors, such as choco-late or peanut butter.

For more savory options, try adding chickpeas to your next pot of soup, or grab a good amount of spring veg-etables, and stir-fry them with the chickpeas. Toss the finished mixture with some millet for

a warm salad sure to fill up your stomach.

Chickpeas are also the star of the show when it comes to hummus. With the help of a blender and a few other ingre-dients, you can have fresh hum-mus in less than five minutes. For our hummus recipe, visit www.dailytexanonline.com.

He said one challenge associ-ated with producing a 3-D film with the computers was the time it took for the computer to process the special effects. Some computer-generated shots that only lasted three to four seconds in the movie took twelve hours to complete.

With spring practice over, here is what we learned from the Longhorns this spring:

1. The offensive line showed needed improvement.

Texas’ offensive line was nightmarish in last year’s 6–7 campaign, and head coach Charlie Strong knows the unit needs to improve. The line was consistently overpowered by opposing defensive lines and suffered from injuries, dismissals and a major lack of experience.

With spring practices in the books, Strong has seen im-provement. The unit looked comfortable and performed well during practices and the Orange-White scrimmage.

“They’ve gotten a lot bet-ter with communicating with each other,” Strong said. “I think it’ll be a great season for us.”

2. The quarterback battle is tighter than ever.

Heading into the spring, junior quarterback Tyrone Swoopes had the advantage, having started 12 games last season. He got the majority of first team reps this spring, and Strong praised his growth both on and off the field.

However, redshirt freshman Jerrod Heard, a highly touted state championship-winning quarterback from Denten also impressed Strong, making ac-curate throws and torching de-

fenses with his feet. Strong has said that Swoopes is still the favorite, but he emphasized that Heard has closed the gap. With several months between now and the season opener, both quarterbacks will have the chance to separate them-selves and win the job.

3. Freshman linebacker Malik Jefferson is the real deal.

Jefferson was Texas’ top recruit in its 2015 recruiting class, and he did not disap-point as an early enrollee. Jefferson showed his athleti-cism and feel for the game in practices, showing a knack for playmaking.

In the spring game, Jeffer-son forced a fumble, broke up a pass and picked up five tackles, including one tackle for loss.

“He’s very athletic and very instinctive,” Strong said. “He can read plays, and he made a ton of plays on Saturday.”

4. Texas needs freshmen to step up on the outside.

Strong’s first recruiting class was a success, and the Long-horns will need their freshmen to step up.

The Longhorns need outside playmakers on both sides of the ball, and Strong has empha-sized throughout spring that freshmen will have a chance to come in and compete at these positions. If the incoming fresh-men can contribute and push their fellow teammates, it will go a long way in improving two weak positions.

After a sweep from No. 7 TCU this weekend, Texas is back at square one.

The Longhorns, who en-tered the season with high expectations and a roster full of returning talent, now sit at .500.

Texas came into the series with high hopes after two dominating performances against Kansas and Texas State. But after the Horned Frogs swept the Longhorns, they’re once again trying to regroup after suffering their 22nd loss of the season.

Despite the up-and-down season, the players still be-lieve they can rally and make a run toward the postseason.

“We have the players to be one of the best teams in the country,” sophomore catcher Tres Barrera said. “But if you look as good as you want on paper, you got to come out here, and get it done. We’re playing hard. We’re fighting. We’re just not executing.”

Texas (22–22, 8–10 Big 12) will have a chance to gather itself against Prairie View A&M (14–31, 4–17 SWAC). The Panthers defeated Al-corn State, 10–7, Sunday and are coming off their first conference series win since Feb. 28.

The Longhorns and Pan-thers square off at UFCU Disch-Falk Field at 6 p.m. on Longhorn Network.

The Longhorns hope to

find a break at home as they look to rebound from a tough weekend.

Texas head coach Augie Garrido said the key to fix-ing the team’s issues is all in its execution.

“We’ve got to win with we we’ve got,” Garrido said. “I think we can win with what we’ve got. We just have to execute.”

He added that the team badly wants to get better.

“As bad as we’ve been

beaten up during the course of this season, not only injury-wise but also mentally, with the losses that have accumu-lated, they still want to get that done,” Garrido said. “Their spirit is not broken. They’re still competitive.”

At .500, Texas will have to keep fighting through the rest of the season to make it to the postseason.

“It’s just [about] battling right now,” senior second

baseman Brooks Marlow said. “Coach [Garrido] talks about being men-tally tough all the time.

That’s what this team’s got. We just got to be ready to play tomorrow and put this behind us.”

Before combining to take down Texas in a series sweep, a trio of TCU pitch-ers — junior Riley Ferrell, senior Preston Morrison and junior Alex Young — were named to the National Col-lege Baseball Hall of Fame National Pitcher of the Year watch list.

Morrison leads the Big 12 with nine wins and two shut-outs and currently leads the conference in active career wins and ERA. Young ranks second with eight wins and third in ERAs with a 1.65 average. The two combined for just over 13 innings pitched, six strikeouts and four earned runs.

Farrell leads the confer-ence with 11 saves, including one against the Longhorns on Saturday.

Oklahoma State’s Michael Freeman and Texas Tech’s Corey Taylor were also named to the watch list.

Oklahoma State takes series over Texas Tech

After falling in the first game of the series against Texas Tech on Friday, Oklahoma State climbed back to win the next two games, winning the series

and maintaining its lead in the conference.

The Red Raiders took the first game of the series be-hind the arm of Ryan Mose-ley, who held the Cowboys to just one run on six hits, striking out seven in seven innings of work in a 5–3 win.

Oklahoma State bounced back the next day, piling on eight runs on 13 hits. Fresh-man third baseman Jacob Chappell led the way with three RBIs and two walks in the win.

The Cowboys finished off the series with a win Sunday, striking for five runs in the first four innings, including two home runs in a three-run fourth inning.

With the series victory, Oklahoma State held onto its conference lead. The Cow-boys hold a game-and-a-half advantage over TCU.

Cowboys, Sooners set to square off in ‘Bedlam’

With the regular season winding down, the ‘Bed-lam’ rivalry between Okla-homa and Oklahoma State will likely decide who takes home the Big 12 regular season crown.

The Cowboys currently sit in the top spot in the conference, sporting a 12–6 conference record and a

game-and-a-half lead over Oklahoma and TCU. They also sit in second in team bat-ting, with a .287 batting aver-age, and team pitching, with a 2.79 ERA. Senior pitcher Mi-chael Freeman leads all start-ers in the conference with a 1.17 ERA and a .185 oppo-nent’s batting average.

But Oklahoma will coun-ter with senior pitcher Rob-ert Tasin, who’s fourth in the conference with a 1.93 ERA and junior infielder Kolbey Carpenter, who’s second in the Big 12 with a .370 batting average and eight home runs.

Conference Rankings

Despite sweeping Tex-as in dominating fashion over the weekend, TCU remained fifth in the latest Baseball America rankings released Monday.

The same top five teams remain at the top of the rankings, although Texas A&M dropped from second to third after losing its series to No. 1 LSU this weekend. UCLA jumped to the sec-ond spot, and Louisville re-mained in fourth.

Oklahoma State jumped up five spots to 12th follow-ing its series win over Texas Tech, which dropped out of the poll altogether.

FILM

Sci-fi action-thriller “Hard Reset” boasts impressive spe-cial effects, but it’s not a Holly-wood blockbuster. It’s UT’s first 3-D student film.

“Hard Reset,” which pre-miered Sunday at the Galaxy Highland theater, takes place in the future on the eve of a robot revolution. The main character, detective Miles Ar-cher (Oryan Landa), falls in love with a droid named Jane PS626 (Josephine McAdam), who is infected by a virus that grants her self-awareness.

Radio-Television-Film grad-uate student Deepak Chetty directed “Hard Reset” and

collaborated with a cast and crew of UT students and gradu-ates as well as film professionals.

Chetty and Radio-Televi-sion-Film senior David Buk-stein, who co-wrote the film with Chetty, said the two have been drawn to sci-fi entertain-ment since they were young. They met in 2012 through UT’s Radio-Television-Film program and discovered they were already working on simi-lar scripts individually. The two of them decided to combine their efforts and write “Hard Reset.”

“I didn’t want to create something flashy,” Chetty said. “I wanted to tell a story that people would enjoy.”

Chetty and Bukstein said

they formed a strong bond while writing “Hard Reset” as a team throughout 2013. They spent weeks communicating back and forth about the script and compromising when they had different ideas.

“If we had an issue, we dis-cussed it together,” Bukstein said. “We both came to the table with the same mutual re-spect. [Chetty] directed ‘Hard Reset,’ but it is our movie.”

Chetty said shooting in 3-D was a different experi-ence compared to shooting in 2-D. In the past, Chetty could shoot 2-D films using a hand-held method, but the weight of the 3-D cameras forced the cinematographer, UT alumnus Patrick Smith, to shoot with the

cameras mounted on rigs to keep them steady.

Smith said he and Chetty filmed “Hard Reset” with 3-D in mind. The two said they didn’t want “Hard Reset” to be like oth-er films they thought only added the 3-D effect as an afterthought.

Characters pop out of the screen at intense moments and, in more somber scenes, they appear subdued in the background, amplifying the distance by the increased depth from the 3-D effect to isolate them from the audience.

Chetty said the crew finished shooting “Hard Reset” last May and spent nearly the entire year finishing up special ef-

On a typical night at Mala Sichuan Bistro, customers dab their watering eyes over dishes of live tilapia or rabbit meat soaked in flaming red chili oil.

The restaurant, located in Houston’s Chinatown, is owned by UT alumni Cori Xiong and Heng Chen. Xiong moved to Texas from the Sichuan prov-ince of China when she was 12 years old. Chen left his home city of Shenyang, China, for the U.S. when he was 16 years old. When the now-husband-and-wife met at UT, they discovered a shared passion for Sichuan Chinese food.

After Xiong and Chen grad-uated in 2009 with economics degrees, they decided to take a leap of faith and jump into the restaurant business. They set up a shop in Houston’s bustling Chinatown, offering lunch plates and Sichuan staples. They lacked experience in the business, which at times made the work challenging.

“We pretty much had to cross the river by feeling the stones,” Chen said. “Hiring the right people, keeping the good people and leading these people has al-ways been a challenge.”

On Friday, Xiong presented some of her restaurant’s signa-ture dishes at Taste of Texas, a part of the Austin Food and Wine Festival.

“I’ve loved seeing so many non-Chinese people enjoy-ing our food and not taking it as something weird and ex-otic,” Xiong said. “I feel like I’ve bridged some gap between different cultures.”

Xiong and Chen named Mala Sichuan Bistro after the restaurant’s signature flavors. In Mandarin Chinese, ma re-fers to the numbing sensation

caused by peppercorns native to the Sichuan province, and la refers to the spicy flavor of red chili peppers.

“Numbing is a flavor — or more of a sensation — that most people do not know humans are able to taste,” Xiong said. “Our spices acti-vate the touch sensory recep-tors and make each one of the nerve endings in the tongue and the mouth area think that they’ve been repeatedly lightly touched, like a constant light buzz.”

The duo will soon open a Mala Sichuan Bistro location in Montrose, a trendy neigh-borhood of Houston. The res-taurant’s new location will be across from the restaurant Un-derbelly, a critically acclaimed mainstay of Houston’s food scene. Chris Shepherd, Under-belly owner and executive chef, said he looks forward to his new neighbors.

“Mala has become a destina-tion restaurant in Chinatown,” Shepherd said. “People who weren’t previously familiar with Chinatown have now experienced Houston’s in-credible Asian cuisine as a result of Mala’s influence. The Montrose location will touch an even larger group of inner-loop Houstonians, and I hope it opens the door for even more exploration.”

Although Xiong and Chen have specifically reached out to non-Chinese customers, they said their priority is to serve up authentic Chinese food.

“I want to offer an experi-ence that is different from other Chinese restaurants,” Chen said. “But I still want to let diners know that this is the real, traditional Chinese food — that this is what people eat in China — not egg rolls or orange chicken.”
