Another block of affordable housing in Oak Lawn has been demolished. In its place will be denser housing with smaller apartments that open out into a multi-story park- ing garage. One of the nice things about these identical Soviet-style apartment blocks is the car fumes that blow directly into the units from the interior garages. The per unit price of these imaginatively uniform apartments is expected to be three to four times the cost of the apartments they replace. DGLA-PAC makes runoff en- Traffic? No problem.

By Leigh Ann Wheeler. New York, New York: Oxford University Press. 2013. For those of us who teach courses relating to sexuality and the law, it can be a Sisyphean task to help contemporary students grasp a world in which giving a lecture about birth control that involved the visual aid of a packet of spermicide could result in criminal prosecution.

    Michael Sudhalter Communications Coordinator [email protected] 281-979-8109 For Immediate Release April 17, 2020 SEATTLE STORM SELECT CEDAR HILL HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE JOYNER HOLMES IN 2020 WNBA DRAFT (CEDAR HILL, TX) - Joyner Holmes is one of the best athletes in the storied history of Cedar Hill ISD. As a high school senior in 2016, she was the top girls basketball recruit in the United States and became the first female CHISD Scholar to be selected to two prestigious games – the McDonald’s All-American Game in Chicago and the Jordan Brand Classic in New York City. Holmes, now a 22-year University of Texas senior, made history once again on Friday night when the Seattle Storm drafted her in the second round (19th overall) of the 2020 WNBA Draft. She became the first CHISD athlete to be selected in the WNBA Draft, and Seattle is just two years removed from a WNBA Championship. Only 10 UT Women’s Basketball Players have been drafted by the WNBA, since the League started in 1997. Holmes became the sixth former UT player to be drafted in the Top 20. Longhorn fans -- both CHISD and UT -- will be able to see Holmes play when the Storm visits its Western Conference rival, the Dallas Wings, who play their home games at the College Park Center in Arlington. The COVID-19 Crisis has altered plans globally, and the sports world is no different. On March 13, Holmes – a 6-foot-3 forward and her UT teammates were planning on facing West Virginia in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament in Kansas City, Missouri.
