GALLERY COLUMN We’re on the same team Ashley Purgason Guest Columnist

Serving as the student regent on the University of Texas System Board of Regents offers me a unique perspective. I travel the state visiting the 15 UT campuses, talking with students and bringing their concerns back to the nine-member board responsible for governing one of Texas’ most precious resources, the UT System. I also have the privilege of witness- ing and participating in the deliberations when regents are making deci- sions that affect UT institutions. I bring the student perspective — and it’s a perspective my fellow regents consider and appreciate. Discussions during many of my recent visits seem inevitably to turn to questions surrounding the board’s governing authority and recent media coverage of the board. One of the issues I hear about frequently may be of specific concern to students at UT-Austin: criticism of the regents for what some feel is an overzealous approach to governing UT-Austin, for questioning certain practices at our University and for requesting information. I understand the concern. Regents may disagree on individual issues and discussion between them is often spirited. This, to me, is the hall- mark of a healthy and energized board, as each member brings indi- vidual ideas, experience and talents to the discussion. My message to students of the UT System is that regardless of the approach or the per- ception, every member of the board wears the same team jersey and is COLUMN motivated by one goal: to create a system of higher education that best serves the students of Texas and sets the standard for the nation and the world. And, as far as UT-Austin in particular, my fellow regents and I want nothing less than to help catapult this University to the position of Look twice at LBJ’s legacy the finest public institution in the nation.

Tantilizing tacos tempt Austin

By Jourden Sander

Torchy’s Tacos may be stu- dents’ go-to taco eatery, but an- other taco option is just down the road. El Patio is a tex-mex dive that’s been feeding locals since 1954 and cooking some of the best tacos in Austin. Jamie Arriola, an El Patio server, said people are sur- prised by the tacos because they’re untraditionally flat and homemade. “People order our tacos and they get them and say ‘What is this? This is a tostada not a taco.’ And then we explain that we cook our own taco shells,” Arri- ola said. “But people like them, and most of the people eat it all.” While new customers may be surprised by the tacos, most of the patrons at El Patio have been eating there for years.
