The International So-cialists Organization and Young Americans for Lib-erty have once again not initially been invited to take part in a Student Govern-ment debate.

This debate will be

about the implementation of campus carry, while the previous debate was about general political is-sues. The two groups were not invited to the previous debate in October until pressure from some Liber-tarian members persuad-ed SG hosts to invite the groups the weekend before

the debate.The campus carry debate

will take place Nov. 16 and will be primarily focused on the implementation of cam-pus carry on UT’s campus.

Zach Stone, chief justice of SG judicial court who will be a moderator in the debate, said neither of the groups have reached out to

him, but he invites them to ask questions during the Q&A session. Stone said he thinks the debate should take place between the University Democrats and College Republicans because the two groups have invested more into the topic.

“These are the two

organizations that have had the biggest stake in the issue,” Stone said. “During the leg-islative debates at the Capi-tol, they were the ones pro-testing for either side, they were the ones going down to the Capitol and visiting with legislators and signing

Texas claims winning comes down to preparation, consistency and confidence. The Longhorns blamed their lack of preparation after the 24-0 loss to Iowa State on Oct. 31 and said preparation was instrumental to beating Kansas 59-20 on Saturday.

“It starts on the practice field,” head coach Charlie Strong said. “You look at it and one week you don’t score anything and then to-night it’s so explosive. That’s what the players have to realize is, it’s all about just being consistent.

The Longhorn players said this week’s practice helped them play a strong game against the Jayhawks.

“Everybody was more ‘in’, more serious [at prac-tice],” senior corner-back Duke Thomas said.

Excess heat and dust caused by campus construc-tion projects caused 48 per-cent of fire alarm activations in 2014, according to data from Fire Prevention Ser-vices. Roughly 10 percent of alarms corresponded to val-id smoke or heat activations.

UT fire marshal Jimmy Johnson said a variety of construction-related activi-ties could cause a fire alarm to inadvertently go off. In 2014, 143 fire alarm calls were reported while con-tractors worked on cam-pus construction, Johnson said. Students using the microwave or stove inside dorms to cook caused most alarm activations because of smoke or heat.

“Alarm systems in gen-eral have several different types of detection systems. Some are heat detectors; some are smoke detectors,” Johnson said. “They could be doing construction de-molition, which can cause dust which will affect the smoke detectors, or they could be doing welding in an area which can cause heat and smoke, which

can cause the systems to go off. A variety of general construction techniques [activate fire alarms].”

Prohibited electric de-vices in dorm rooms are likely to set off fire alarms, according to San Jacinto resident assistant and history sophomore Cameron Woo.

“There is a whole list of things you cannot have in your dorm room, like a toaster or a rice cooker,” Woo said. “The fire alarms are really sensitive to heat, steam and basically any-thing in a gaseous state that should not be there and there is an excess of, especially if there is heat in-volved. If they decide they want to smoke marijuana in the room, there’s that, too.”

UTPD Officer William Pieper said dust coming from outside the building has also caused fire alarm activations in the past.

Once construction be-gins, Fire Prevention Services works with contrac-tors to strategically reduce ac-cidental fire alarm activations at active construction sites, Johnson said.

“If we know an area is going to be worked on, we

coordinate between the group that is doing the work and our fire safety shop so that we can disable the alarms in the area,” John-son said. “Now they can work without initiating any type of the alarm systems in that vicinity.”

Johnson said trends vary monthly, with the summer months experiencing twice as many construction-related fire alarm activations compared to the academic school year.

“We look at the trends

Children’s poems about cake, life as a foster child and alternate universes where chokers harness energy from the sun make up the regular anthology published by local nonprofit Austin Bat Cave.

Formed in 2007, Austin Bat Cave is a nonprofit dedicated to improving the writing skills of kids ages 6 to 18 through

free volunteer-led programs at underprivileged schools.

Executive director Katie Haab said all Austin Bat Cave programs — from weekly after-school creative writing classes to weeklong summer camps dedicated to apocalyp-tic fiction — are free and she can’t imagine the program running any other way.

“If even one kid gets dis-couraged from telling their story and opening up their

lives because they have to bring a check with them, I think it would be a failure on our part,” Haab said.

When schools or organiza-tions in Austin feel the need for a writing program but don’t have the personnel to make it happen, they ask Aus-tin Bat Cave for help. From there, program director Syed Ali Haider assigns volunteers

A hearing in the Hall v. McRaven lawsuit has been rescheduled for the week of Dec. 7.

The hearing, which was originally set for Oct. 19, was first rescheduled for Nov. 9. Both sides filed an agreement Oct. 28 to reschedule the hearing a second time.

Following the release of the Kroll report in Feb-ruary detailing cases in which the President in-fluenced UT’s admissions process, Regent Wallace Hall requested all docu-ments from the report for his own investiga-tion. Chancellor William McRaven denied Hall access to this informa-tion citing Family Edu-cational Rights and Pri-vacy Acts laws to protect students and families’ private information.

“As a matter of law, [UT] System officials lack the authority to restrict a regent’s access to in-formation that he deems necessary for the perfor-mance of his official du-ties,” Hall’s suit filed June 28 said.

If the hearing is not rescheduled, it could occur at the same time as

the Fisher v. UT case, which will be reheard in the Su-preme Court on Dec. 9. The case will review the consti-tutionality of affirmative ac-tion admissions policies at the University.

UT System spokeswom-an Jenny LaCoste-Caputo said this is a scheduling issue between the attor-neys and not between the principals involved in the case.

According to the docu-ment filed, McRaven will submit his summary judg-ment on or before Nov. 18 and Hall will reply to the motion on or before Dec. 2. The parties agreed in the document that Hall, McRaven and Daniel Sharphorn, general coun-sel and vice chancellor of the UT System, will be in attendance without re-quiring a subpoena.

through root-cause analy-sis,” Johnson said. “We have a big push during the sum-mer months to get construc-tion done. We see a spike in the calls during that time.”

Fire alarm activations in Jester Dormitory, Sid Rich-ardson Hall and Darrell K.

Royal-Texas Memorial Sta-dium have been elevated in past summers as the Univer-sity carries out extensive ren-ovation projects in the build-ings, according to Johnson. The Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Building also experiences more fire alarms because of the potentially volatile research that takes place in the facility, he said.

Pieper said the University’s fire and police departments work together to respond to fire alarm activations.

“We go to every alarm as though it is a valid alarm,” Pieper said. “We won’t know until we find out. We do our part, the fire department does their part, and Fire Prevention Services does their part.”

petitions, and their stake in this isn’t only ideologi-cal but also very practical and very demonstrated, so I think this debate naturally lends itself to yes or no an-swers, as opposed to a gen-eral political debate.”

Ashley Alcantara, com-munications director for University Democrats, said she does not know about how involved other student groups have been on the issue of campus carry but agrees that those who have the biggest stake in the issue should be the ones allowed to debate.

“I just don’t know how much the other groups have been involved with campus carry,” Alcantara said. “All I know is that we’ve been involved with it a lot, and we definitely deserve to have a say in how it’s implemented.”

The input of the liber-tarian and socialist groups made the last debate more interesting, as well as brought up issues that would not have been talked about otherwise, said Mukund Rathi, International Social-ists Organization member. Rathi said if the issue of campus carry is not dis-cussed in the context of rac-ism, then the conversation is useless.

“Campus carry is like-ly to disproportionately harm people of color, and so I think based on past experiences with the Dem-ocrats and Republicans and based on their per-formance at the previous debate, it doesn’t look like they’re going to make this a discussion about racism,” Rathi said. “I think [that is] a mistake, and I think that adding in the social-ists can help correct that.”

Young Americans for Liberty did not respond to requests for comment be-fore press time.

Stone said limiting the debate to College Republi-cans and University Demo-crats would ensure the con-versation stays productive. He said he does not want the debate to be about who is for or against campus car-ry, but rather about how the University should imple-ment the controversial law.

“People say that we’re going to be beating a dead horse, that campus carry has already been hashed out, that people’s minds aren’t going to be swayed,” Stone said. “We will live in a campus carry world, or at least we will within a year, so it’s more about how will we do that responsibly, whether we like the law or not.”

to the program who develop curriculum according to the desires expressed by the school or organization in need.

Each of this semester’s 18 programs have a different focus but all work toward creating an end product, such as a poem, essay or zine, for the anthology, a collection of work from every student across all programs, making all Austin Bat Cave students published writers.

“We get to see the smallest people have the largest voices,” Haab said. “And we get to help bring those out.”

Haab said she remembers a past student, a 15-year-old foster child who read her essay about her time in the foster care system aloud to an audience of 150 parents and teachers.

“Her writing was hard to hear because your heart breaks for her and all the things she’s had to go through,” Haab said. “Yet, she is standing very straight, making great eye

contact, reading her pieces and everyone in the room is weep-ing. To see her strength and her happiness in her creation — that is something amazing that gets to happen to us.”

UT alumna Claudia Chidester serves as the Presi-dent of the Board of Direc-tors for Austin Bat Cave. She said the organization, unlike typical classes in school, gently guides students through posi-tive feedback toward creating a piece of work.

“Our tagline is we trick kids into liking to write,” Chidester said. “Whether it’s apocalyp-tic fiction or slam poetry, it’s whatever they want to write about. We kind of guide them along and show them how they can peel the onion and go deeper.”

Last week, Haider sat in on a creative writing class for middle school students at Austin Achieve Public School. During the class, Haider said a female student filled her work-sheet with the story of another universe — a world where she

was a product of a scientific experiment, allowing her to harness energy from the sun using her choker necklace.

“To me, that is an example of a kid who has all this stuff brewing in her head, and all she needed was this one work-sheet that [the volunteers] brought in and a little bit of encouragement, and now it is no longer just in her head,” Haider said.

Volunteers Laura Campbell and Allison Myers teach the semester-long after-school course at Austin Achieve. Campbell said one of her fa-vorite parts of teaching with Austin Bat Cave was watching students start to support one another’s work.

“The writing workshop is a really specific environment and little culture where stu-dents support each other in a unique fashion,” Campbell said. “I think that moment, when [one of our students] is owning that world she created, and getting admiration from her peers is really important.”

An Austin jury convicted Rashad Owens on Friday of capital murder from the 2014 South by Southwest Music Festival crash.

The judge initially set aside three weeks for the SXSW crash trial to take place. It only took one to reach final deliberations.

Owens was sentenced immediately after the ver-dict was read and will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibil-ity of parole.

Owens was charged with killing four people and injuring more than 20 others by drunkenly driving through a bar-rier and into a crowd of

people downtown.Capital murder charges

were initially filed after Ja-mie West, 27, and Steven Craenmehr, 35, died at the scene. In the two weeks af-ter the crash, DeAndre Ta-tum, 18, and Sandy Le, 26, died as a result of injuries sustained from the crash.

Prosecutors and de-fense attorneys rested their case Thursday af-ternoon, with the defense not calling a single wit-ness to stand during the trial, according to a report by KVUE.

To convict Owens of capital murder, the jury believed he intentionally or knowingly killed people when he evaded police that night.

Meredith Bradley, a wit-ness to the incident, said

Monday that Owens drove into crowds gathered on Red River Street at high speeds without regard for the peo-ple he was impacting.

“He was just driving su-per, super fast and whipped into that turn without stop-ping,” Bradley said. “He just whipped into that crowd of people. You just saw those people being mowed down. The first victim got tossed around like a rag doll.”

As Owens stood for his first day of trial Monday, Ow-ens’ lawyers said he had never intended to kill anyone and only began driving off-route when he panicked while be-ing pursued by police.

According to Owens’ defense attorney, Russell Hunt, Owens was visiting Austin the weekend of the crash to perform with a rap

act. He had been driving a car he had borrowed to pick up a lost friend and had his headlights off when the po-lice tried to pull him over.

After the crash, Austin City Council approved a full-scale review of SXSW, including safety proce-dures, street closures and crowd management, on March 27.

A post-event survey con-ducted by the Austin Cen-ter for Events revealed that 49 percent of the 850 re-spondents attended SXSW events unregistered. Fifty-seven percent of the respon-dents also voted against the city working alongside the Texas Alcoholic Bever-age Commission to limit the amount of hours that alcohol is served during SXSW events.

Lively discussion between a student presenter and an engaged audience punctuat-ed a presentation that ques-tioned the future of jobs and robotic automation.

The Molotov Seminar is a regular forum that allows students from any field, graduate or undergraduate, to present on a topic they are interested in to their peers. The seminars normally last a little over an hour, and typically begin with a brief presentation by the speaker that leads into an informal discussion loosely moder-ated by the speaker.

Physics doctoral student Abhranil Das, who orga-nizes the series, said he was

inspired to start the seminar after he discovered fellow physics graduate students had passions and interests that reached far beyond their chosen field.

“You cannot define people based only on what they’re studying,” Das said. “At its base, a place like university is supposed to be about the free exchange of ideas.”

The seminar has hosted 21 presentations since the program began in the sum-mer. Topics have included the road to democracy, the importance of the study of particle physics, meditation, and Friday’s presentation on the threat robotic auto-mation poses to jobs held by humans.

“The one rule in the Mo-lotov Seminar is that you

cannot be talking about any-thing too technical, so any-thing you talk about should be accessible to anyone in the room, no matter how much their background is on that subject,” Das said.

The seminar was named as a tribute to a rumor that another campus seminar en-couraged attendees to bring and share whiskey, accord-ing to Das. He said he hopes his explosive twist on the discussion format will cause people to take notice.

At Friday’s event, a small, but engaged audience asked questions and proposed solutions to the problem presented by the speaker, physics doctoral student Siva Swaminathan.

“Sitting back on a Friday evening and letting your

mind loose a little bit, I think that’s what draws me to this,” Swaminathan said.

MBA student Salomi Naik said she enjoyed a forum to discuss issues that affected students’ future lives.

“I think it’s a great plat-form, not only because it’s students presenting to students, but also be-cause it brings people across UT together,” Naik said.

Das said he encourages more undergraduates to present in the series. Any-one can submit an online request to present, he said.

“I think of the Molotov Seminar as being sort of a bridge between people who want to say stuff and people who want to listen,” Das said.

To celebrate Texas Arbor Day, Landscape Services, University staff and mem-bers of the community gathered to plant three fruit trees at the corner of San Jacinto and 24th streets Fri-day morning.

Texas Arbor Day takes place the first Friday of No-vember annually, whereas National Arbor Day is held in April. Jim Carse, assistant manager of urban forestry for Landscape Services, said Texas Arbor Day is celebrat-ed in November because newly planted trees survive better in cooler weather.

“A couple of years ago, the legislature changed the Arbor Day date in Texas to align with the right time of year to plant trees,” Carse said. “It’s too warm in April, so it’s better to plant trees in the early fall in Texas so it’s cool for a couple of months before it gets hot again.”

This location on cam-pus, nicknamed UT Or-chard, is home to citrus and fruit trees including peaches, plums, pears, figs, kumquats, lemons and persimmons.

“[The orchard] doesn’t really have a formal pur-pose other than it allows the UT community to see and visualize what fruit trees do well here in Cen-tral Texas and what you could plant at your home,” Carse said. “We also

welcome people to come down here and properly pick fruit if they want.”

Jennifer Hrobar, super-visor of urban forestry for Landscape Services, said Arbor Day celebrations are important to increase student involvement in sus-tainability work on campus.

“We are all stewards of this area and of preserv-ing the trees and the green spaces that we have,” Hro-bar said. “We have to be voices for the trees and the green areas so that we have locations that are pro-tected for students to come and enjoy.”

Gloria Fang, research engineering assistant in the College of Pharmacy, said she wanted to pick up a seedling Landscape Servic-es was giving away to plant in her backyard.

“I’m very interested in gardening. It’s something that I enjoy doing and would like to be better at doing,” Fang said. “This is our environment. We should do what we can to make it better.”

Landscape Services is coordinating a Tree Cam-pus USA service project on Nov. 21 where they will be planting 80 seedlings at Clark Field. They also fa-cilitate the planting of me-morial trees and catalogue notable trees on campus and maintain information on the Battle Oaks, which have survived since the Civil War.

petitions, and their stake in this isn’t only ideologi-cal but also very practical and very demonstrated, so I think this debate naturally lends itself to yes or no an-swers, as opposed to a gen-eral political debate.”

Ashley Alcantara, com-munications director for University Democrats, said she does not know about how involved other student groups have been on the issue of campus carry but agrees that those who have the biggest stake in the issue should be the ones allowed to debate.

“I just don’t know how much the other groups have been involved with campus carry,” Alcantara said. “All I know is that we’ve been involved with it a lot, and we definitely deserve to have a say in how it’s implemented.”

The input of the liber-tarian and socialist groups made the last debate more interesting, as well as brought up issues that would not have been talked about otherwise, said Mukund Rathi, International Social-ists Organization member. Rathi said if the issue of campus carry is not dis-cussed in the context of rac-ism, then the conversation is useless.

“Campus carry is like-ly to disproportionately harm people of color, and so I think based on past experiences with the Dem-ocrats and Republicans and based on their per-formance at the previous debate, it doesn’t look like they’re going to make this a discussion about racism,” Rathi said. “I think [that is] a mistake, and I think that adding in the social-ists can help correct that.”

Young Americans for Liberty did not respond to requests for comment be-fore press time.

Stone said limiting the debate to College Republi-cans and University Demo-crats would ensure the con-versation stays productive. He said he does not want the debate to be about who is for or against campus car-ry, but rather about how the University should imple-ment the controversial law.

“People say that we’re going to be beating a dead horse, that campus carry has already been hashed out, that people’s minds aren’t going to be swayed,” Stone said. “We will live in a campus carry world, or at least we will within a year, so it’s more about how will we do that responsibly, whether we like the law or not.”

Gov. Greg Abbott announced Oct. 19 that Texas will end Medicare enrollment for Planned Parenthood as a part of a re-cent conservative attack on women’s health. While this could be problematic for half of the population of Texas, it also could be detrimental to low-income Texans that need Planned Parenthood’s services.

The Office of Inspector General at the Texas Health and Human Services Com-mission issued a letter to halt the funding of Planned Parenthood clinics, citing the release of highly edited videos that alleged Planned Parenthood profited off the sale of fetal tissue as justification for the recent action.

“Texas has stepped forward and shown its unyielding commitment to both pro-tecting life and providing women’s health services,” Abbott told the Austin Chroni-cle. “Ending the Medicaid participation of Planned Parenthood in the state of Texas is another step in providing greater access to safe health care for women while pro-tect our most vulnerable — the unborn.”

The issue regarding the action by the government is simple. It’s not a fact of life or question of choice. It’s a fact of politics. The issue surrounding Planned Parent-hood and abortion has become something

that conservative politicians and pundits use in order to divide the government as a means to get power.

The role of government is supposed to be driving a positive outcome to its citi-zenry, yet it is the very politics that so many will be negatively impacted with the lack of health care Planned Parenthood provides. Beyond just abortions, Planned Parenthood clinics provide medical ser-vices to the women and the low-income alike, such as birth control, HIV tests and cancer screenings. Sarah Wheat, vice pres-ident for community affairs for Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, said close to 13,000 Texans, including low-income Medicaid clients, would lose access to healthcare that Planned Parenthood clin-ics provided.

“The governor’s efforts to ban Medic-aid patients from receiving their health screenings, annual exams and birth con-trol at Planned Parenthood health cen-ters would reduce healthcare options and trusted resources for healthcare in our communities,” Wheat said.

The practice of denying Medicaid re-cipients access to Planned Parenthood has

already been attempted by Arkansas and Louisiana, both of which have been tem-porarily banned by federal courts. There is a possibility that the unwarranted act Abbott took may be overturned, meaning that there is hope for those who rely on Planned Parenthood clinics.

Presidential candidates’ flat tax plans are not fiscally conservative

By Daniel HungDaily Texan Columnist

@TexanEditorial

ONLINEOur commentary doesn’t stop on the page. For more of our thoughts on the issues of the day, check out our blog, A Matter of Opinion, at dailytexanonline.com.

Some of the Republican presidential can-didates have proposed a flat tax plan that they claim is fair and fiscally conservative. The truth, however, is the exact opposite. A flat tax proposal would eliminate the cur-rent seven income tax brackets and replace them with one flat tax that applies to every-one, rich or poor. In contrast, a fair and fis-cally conservative tax plan would have mul-tiple tax brackets, where the rich pay more than the poor, while also not increasing the nation’s budget deficit and national debt.

One of the candidates, Rand Paul, argues that under his fair and flat tax plan, “no one of privilege, wealth [should] pay a lower rate than working Americans.” However, it is also not fair to let billionaires like Donald Trump and George Soros pay the same rate as par-ents struggling to support their children at UT. Currently, those who make more than $413,200 a year are in the top tax bracket and are taxed at the marginal rate of 39.6 percent. Under Paul’s plan, they would only have to pay 14.5 percent, while under Ted Cruz’s plan, they pay even less at 10 percent.

Tax law professor Calvin Johnson said in an email that Cruz and Paul’s flat tax pro-posals “would shift the tax burden from rich to poor and increase the deficit burden on our children.” Cruz and Paul argue that their proposals would eliminate loopholes for the rich, but none of the current deduc-tions bring down the effective tax rate of the rich anywhere close to 14.5 percent. For example, Warren Buffett, who exploits these loopholes, still pays an effective tax rate of 31.1 percent. Thus, under these flat tax plans, millionaires and billionaires would

be getting an enormous tax cut. The Reagan administration rejected the

flat tax for these exact reasons. At a 1982 Senate Finance Committee hearing, the Reagan Treasury Department testified that any flat tax plan would involve a significant redistribution of tax liability away from the wealthy and onto average taxpayers.

Additionally, these flat tax plans will fur-ther increase the budget deficit and national debt. Proponents claim that the economic growth from these tax cuts will make up for the lost revenue, but Johnson dismisses these claims.

“We are on the part of the Laffer curve in which cuts in tax rates will increase the defi-cit and projections that tax cuts will increase our economy in the face of these deficits are just fantasy smoke dreams,” Johnson said.

As fiscal conservatives, we need to focus on balancing the budget and paying down our national debt instead of giving tax cuts to the rich. Our national debt stood at $10.6 trillion when Obama took office and is now at $18.5 trillion. At a time when we need to be cutting our spending and increasing our revenue, flat tax plans that decrease our tax revenue will only take us down the path of countries like Greece — completely broke and unable to pay off our debt.

The World Health Organization released a report on Oct. 26 stating that certain pro-cessed meats are carcinogenic. Thereafter, mainstream media sources began their inces-sant coverage of the issue and distorted the reality of the findings. Headlines reading “siz-zling questions on red meat” and “stop pigging out on bacon” littered media outlets.

A recent headline from The Guardian reads “Processed meats rank alongside smok-ing as cancer causes — WHO.” From reading the headline, one would surmise that eating meat is equally as carcinogenic as smoking cigarettes, which is not the case.

In an online Q&A on the carcinogenicity of processed meat, the International Agency for Research on Cancer emphatically stated that although processed meat was classified as “group 1: carcinogenic to humans” along-side tobacco, it “does not mean that they are all equally as carcinogenic.”

Various news outlets undermined the WHO report’s findings through reactionary, fear-mongering reporting. The greater issue was the consumption of news media, not meat.

With the availability of news media in contemporary society, it is imperative we fil-ter out the chaff — the sensationalized non-stories and the excessive coverage on one

single report. The recent WHO report and its coverage is a perfect example of a larger problem facing mainstream media. Incidents regarding Malaysian airlines and the threat of Ebola coming to America garnered incredi-bly excessive coverage from news sources like CNN and Fox News. The decision to go after ratings, views or likes, from these once repu-table news sources is at the expense of good journalistic practice.

Journalism professor Robert Jensen said the over-reporting is an example of main-stream media’s shortcomings when reporting large-scale issues.

“You’re talking about the reporting of com-plex questions,” Jensen said. “Is that sensation-alism or is it simply that some forms of media are not very good at dealing with complex questions? There is a lot of critique of the way contemporary media works. Do cable televi-sion news outlets routinely do the worst job of reporting on complex subjects? Yes. It superfi-cially covers complex subjects.”

The real question, as Jensen puts it, is “Why do commercial/advertising driven media con-sistently behave in ways that aren’t useful for deeper public understanding?” Excessive re-porting regarding any issue invites rampant speculation instead of actual fact. It also in-vites a misunderstanding of the issue on behalf of the viewer and reader, as the piece of news they are observing only touches the surface.

Hutson is a history senior from El Paso.

The No. 6 Longhorns (5-0) notched another win in their undefeated sea-son, overtaking No. 14 A&M, 166-134 this weekend.

Head coach Carol Capi-tani recorded her first win against the Aggies and the program’s first since 2011.

“It was a total team ef-fort,” Capitani said. “I probably take the most pleasure in watching our growth from year to year and seeing this team stand up and take on big meets. …It gives them confidence.”

Junior Madisyn Cox once again gave a standout performance. She nabbed the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:46.42 and then won the 200 breaststroke in 2:11.21. Both finishes rank among the top four in the nation this season.

Cox’s 1:58.22 finish in her final event, the 200 IM, is the No. 2 time in the nation.

A&M sophomore Beth-any Galat almost stole it from Cox, trailing by a mere 0.4 seconds in the last 50 yards. Cox took a clean lead, out-swimming Galat and taking the win

by more than a second.“I applaud [Madisyn],”

Capitani said. “[She] has been unbelievably consis-tent and just unflappable ever since last year.”

Freshman Joanna Evans recorded a 9:47.61 finish in the 1,000-freestyle, and All-American junior Ta-sija Karosas swam a 53.74 in the 100 backstroke.

“I take my hat off to a lot of people who swam different events, like

Joanna [Evans] taking on a 200 fly,” Capitani said. “We had people swimming in their first meet of the year who were coming back from injuries. Our divers were huge and gave us big points tonight. Everybody had something to hang their hat on.”

Texas travels to face No. 9 North Carolina on Friday and No 13. North Carolina State on Saturday.

“People just took it more seriously. We just took that loss to Iowa State, and the guys didn’t want that to happen again. We took practice very seriously and preparation was key. We came out and executed.”

Texas’ preparation showed on the team’s first offensive play of the game. Redshirt freshman

quarterback Jerrod Heard connected with freshman wide receiver John Burt for an 84-yard touchdown. The Longhorns scored 52 more points against Kansas, including a 93-yard touchdown run from sophomore running back D’Onta Foreman, a 40-yard touchdown pass and 44-yard touchdown run from junior quarterback Tyrone Swoopes.

But the Longhorns were

inconsistent on defense, giving up 20 points and 426 yards to the winless Jayhawks. Texas’ defensive players say there is room for improvement.

“We’re just still trying to get things right,” senior linebacker Peter Jinkens said. “We still have to clean up some things from to-night. We’ve just got to keep going off what we have and just keep doing what we do.”

Play-caller and wide receivers coach Jay Norvell said the Longhorns need to build off their 59-20 win.

“We have to push this team — we’ve got to ride them,” Norvell said. “We’ve got to make sure they have the kind of focus and effort that we need out of them. … We got to press them, keep getting what we want on them and that’s our job as coaches. We just have to continue to push.”

Senior running back Johnathan Gray said Texas needs to channel another strong week of practice to build confidence.

“That’s all you can do,” Gray said. “Stay focused on your work and show those young guys what you have to do to be a championship team and be a competi-tor. The team stepped up and the young guys fol-lowed, and if we can keep that consistent, the offense

will be great.”Texas’ preparation helped

it secure a much-needed win and a new sense of confidence. The Longhorns now look to transform those factors into their first road win of the season at West Virginia on Saturday.

“Going on the road to Morgantown isn’t going to be an easy win at all,” ju-nior safety Dylan Haines said. “We got to play con-sistent if we want to win.”

31 percent shooting, forced nine turnovers and entered halftime up 49-28.

“[Smart] tells us to just go out there and play the game like you know how to play,” Roach said. “Don’t be timid. Don’t do nothing like that. So we just go out there and ball out.”

The Longhorns then outscored the Texans 46-33 in the second half, shooting 47.4 percent. Senior center Cam-eron Ridley notched a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Ridley was the only

non-freshman to score in double figures.

“[Smart] is going to find a way for everyone to play,” Ridley said. “He’s going to do what he has to do to get everyone on the court.”

Texas traveled to China on Saturday for its season opener. It faces Washington in Shanghai on Friday. Smart said Texas has plenty to work on before then.

“There’s a lot of things we can take from the tape tonight that we need to improve on and we need to focus on,” Smart said. “We’re going to practice over there, obviously, and try to get ready for Washington.”

Head coach Charlie Strong wasn’t happy with Texas’ first-half effort against Kansas. The Longhorns led by 10, but Strong said the score didn’t reflect what he saw on the field.

“I told [the team] at half-time that they were playing harder than we were,” Strong said. “I said we can’t allow that to happen.”

Texas swiftly answered Strong’s call in the second half. Sophomore running back D’Onta Foreman ignited five straight scoring drives with a 93-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. The Long-horns outscored the Jayhawks 35-6 in the second half to so-lidify the 59-20 victory.

“Everybody came out with a different mindset [in the sec-ond half],” junior quarterback Tyrone Swoopes said. “We knew we could play a lot better than what we were [doing]. We just came out and did what we know how to do.”

After losing in a shutout to Iowa State, the Longhorns saw an offensive resurgence against Kansas. Big plays came early and often as the Longhorns

produced four touchdowns of 40 yards or more — including two from over 80 yards out. The team’s 59 points marked the largest single-game total during Strong’s tenure.

Redshirt freshman quarter-back Jerrod Heard also bounced back after a 36-yard perfor-mance last week. He made a statement on the team’s first of-fensive play, tossing an 84-yard touchdown pass to freshman wide receiver John Burt. In total, he completed 13 passes for 201 yards and a touchdown — his first 100-yard passing perfor-mance since September.

“I felt real confident and the receivers did too,” Heard said. “Before the game we found out that the [first play] was called, and we felt like, ‘Let’s complete it and make a statement early.’”

Swoopes helped the Long-horns pull away with touch-downs on three consecutive drives in the fourth quarter — including a 40-yard pass and a 44-yard run. He totaled five touchdowns on the day and now leads the team with 12 total touchdowns for the season.

The Longhorn defense also played a large role in the second-half rout. The unit held Kansas to just six points in the second

half after allowing 14 in the first half. It also racked up six sacks and forced four turnovers on the day — including two inter-ceptions by freshman safety De-Shon Elliott.

“We knew that we were play-ing a little slow on defense,” se-nior linebacker Peter Jinkens said. “Everybody just got their mind right, and we just came out and did really good in the

second half.”The Longhorns look to build

on the win as they prepare for a road trip to West Virginia. Texas is 0-3 on the road this season and will need to play with the same confidence it showed in the second half against Kansas. If the Longhorns channel the same knack for big plays go-ing forward, it will help solidify their bowl hopes.

“We have to take the en-ergy and excitement that we play with when we’re at home and take it on the road,” ju-nior safety Dylan Haines said. “That’s easier said than done, but we have to find a way to do it, because we have to win on the road if we want to be suc-cessful here. That’s just some-thing that we’ll be emphasizing this week.”

Freshman guard Kerwin Roach Jr. split the defense and drove to the rim for a thunderous and-1 dunk to awaken a sparse Frank Erwin Center crowd late in the first half. He wasn’t done, though. Roach hit a three on Texas’ next possession for an encore.

The first-half sequence highlighted the Longhorns’ 95-61 exhibition win over Tarleton State.

“[I was] just being aggressive,” Roach said. “Coach always has the mentality of us being aggressive, so I just wanted to go out there and attack.”

Roach wasn’t alone. Each of the freshmen impressed in Texas’ final tuneup

before the regular season begins. Roach and guard/forward Tevin Mack scored 16 points each while guard Eric Davis Jr. added 12.

“They’re freshmen — they got a long way to go, particularly on the de-fensive end,” head coach Shaka Smart said. “They’ve got so much to learn, but they’ve been three of our better players, particularly

offensively, for the past five weeks.”

But the Longhorns were sloppy for most of the first half. They committed four turnovers within the first five minutes, while their shooting dipped below 30 percent at one point in the first half.

“I thought there were some situations tonight where we did not make the

extra pass where we needed to,” Smart said. “And then there were some plays where we really did do a good job of sharing the ball.”

Behind the arc, Texas looked better. The Long-horns knocked down seven of 14 threes in the first half, including five from freshmen. Texas also held Tarleton State to
