The Hungry Professor: Chef Gosling

October 19, 2014

Recently added to the Academy of Distinguished Teachers at UT Austin, Sam Gosling has made a name for himself around campus. This isn’t surprising considering that he teaches introductory psychology, an online course that around 2,000 students tune into each week. You might know Gosling as the British psychology professor whose antics make for engaging lectures, but how much do you know about his snacking habits?

Future of West Campus Culture and Events Up in the Air

October 13, 2014

Dozens of people stand scattered across the lawn at Eden House Co-op on the night of Friday, Aug. 29, enjoying one last hurrah at the start of a new school year. Some chat with friends or kick back on a pair of couches facing the road. Others filter into the packed house, where bands play to a jovial crowd. Suddenly, police cars wash the house and all of its guests in hues of blue and red. Plastic cups drop to the ground in a resounding clamor.The party is over.

ATX Rookie Guide to UT Football Culture

October 12, 2014

I grew up hating Texas football with a passion. My mom attended the University of Nebraska and raised me as a diehard Nebraska Cornhusker fan. However, once I set foot in Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, that all changed. It was as if I, a Montague, married into the Capulet family.

A Conversation With “Hook ‘Em” Harley Clark: His Life On The Forty Acres

October 12, 2014

It was a bumpy ride down the washed-out dirt road to the little house in Dripping Springs. The home sat in the midst of the greenery that I would soon find to be filled from floor to ceiling with hundreds of books - ranging in subject from gardening to Darrell K. Royal - and knick-knacks that could have only been collected over a lifetime.

Sean Morgan Presents “Canned”: an Artistic Solution to the Wealth Divide

October 12, 2014

Sean Morgan’s mind wanders while he drives a flashy Lamborghini around the block of the tallest residential building in Texas. The 23-year-old University of Texas at Austin art student works as a valet for the sky-blue glass “behemoth” of a building, which looks out across Austin’s hills from the heart of downtown. Morgan is imagining a vivid party scene awaiting his return to the tower’s base, where “a fire hydrant is wrenched open and people are running through the torrent of water, hugging, slipping and swapping swigs of aged scotch and malt liquor.”

It’s a Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World: A Look at the Experience of Female Rock Musicians

October 12, 2014

Women have always played rock and roll. From ‘60s wailers like Janis Joplin, to ‘70s punk legends like Patti Smith, to ‘80s guitar wizards like Joan Jett and Lita Ford, all the way to ‘90s alt-rock darlings like Courtney Love, each decade has seen some key female artists in the genre. Still, the fact remains that rock and roll has always been almost exclusively an all-boys club. For example, less than 20 percent of the bands on the most recent Warped Tour roster included at least one female.

As for the reason why? That’s where it gets tricky.
