NEWS BRIEFLY Astronauts on NASA’s last flight ready supplies for arrival home CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The astronauts making NASA’s last shuttle flight gave up their off-duty time Sunday and finished packing up their gigantic suitcase for the ride home. The 10 space travelers cheered as they put the final items in Raffaello, the Italian-made cargo canister that’s the size of a bus. More than 5,600 pounds of old space station equipment, packing foam and other trash will return to Earth this week inside Raffaello. “We’re full,” reported astro- naut Sandra Magnus. “Everybody pitched in.” The compartment will be moved from the International Space Station back onto space shuttle Atlantis early Monday. Atlantis will undock from the space station Tuesday, after a visit of more than a week, and aim for a Thursday landing back in Florida to end 30 years of shuttle flight. Mission Control gave the four shuttle astronauts some time off Sun- day to relax before heading home, but they spent it packing. Now that most of the work is behind, the realization that this is the last shuttle flight is starting to sink in, said flight director Chris Edelen. He said he had a dream the night before. “In my dream, when I woke up, I realized, ‘Hey, I really do need to sa- vor these moments,’ “ he told reporters, “because this likely will be the last time we ever see a big, winged vehicle like that docked to the space station.” NASA is retiring its three space shuttles, sending them to museums, so it can work on sending astronauts beyond low-Earth orbit. The goals set forth by the Obama administration: an asteroid by 2025 and Mars by the mid-2030s.

Date: July 18, 2011 To: All Students at The University of Texas at Austin From: Dr. Soncia Reagins-Lilly, Senior Associate Vice President for Student Aﬀairs and Dean of Students Subject: TEXAS HAZING STATUTE SUMMARY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN’S HAZING REGULATIONS

The 70th Texas Legislature enacted a law concerning hazing. Under the law, individuals or organizations engaging in hazing could be subject to ﬁnes and charged with a criminal oﬀense.

According to the law, a person can commit a hazing offense not only by engaging in a hazing activity, but also by soliciting, directing, encouraging, aiding or attempting to aid another in hazing; by intentionally, knowingly or recklessly allowing hazing to occur; or by failing to report, in writing to the Dean of Students or another appropriate official of the institution, first-hand knowledge that a hazing incident is planned or has occurred. The fact that a person consented to or acquiesced in a hazing activity is not a defense to prosecution for hazing under this law.

In an effort to encourage reporting of hazing incidents, the law grants immunity from civil or criminal liability to any person who reports a specific hazing event in good faith and without malice to the Dean of Students or other appropriate official of the institution and immunizes that person for participation in any judicial proceeding resulting from liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed as a result of the report. Additionally, a doctor or other medical practitioner who treats a student who may have been subjected to hazing may make a good faith report of the suspected hazing activities to police or other law enforcement officials and is immune from civil or other liability that might otherwise be imposed or incurred as a result of the report. The penalty for failure to report is a fine of up to $1,000, up to 180 days in jail, or both. Penalties for other hazing offenses vary according to the

Jeanne Carpenter will retire as vice president and director of University Health Services on Sept. 1 after 37 years at UT. HAZING DEFINED The law defines hazing as any intentional, knowing or reckless act, occurring on or off the campus of an educational institution, by one person alone or acting with others, directed against a student, that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of pledging, being initiated into, affiliating Administrator of UHS to retire, with, holding office in or maintaining membership in any organization whose members are or include students at an educational institution. Hazing includes but is not limited to: A. any type of physical brutality, such as whipping, beating, striking, branding, electronic shocking, placing of a harmful substance on the body or similar activity; coworker to take over position B. any type of physical activity, such as sleep deprivation, exposure to the elements, confinement in a small space, calisthenics, or other activity that subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or that ad- By Allison Harris versity Health Services. ness,” Gonzalez said. “She’s a kind versely affects the mental or physical health or safety of the student; Daily Texan Staff “He is an excellent speaker and person.

scenes from the second city

Photos by Trent Lesikar No realistic, sane person goes around Chicago “ without protection. “ — Saul Bellow, American writer

raveling with a camera in hand provides a sort of protection the average wanderer in a new city doesn’t get. It can be something to hide behind, an icebreaker with strang- Ters, or simply a way to document the sights and cultures in a strange place. My cameras were my shield, my introduction to others and the way I recorded my first trip to Chica- go this summer. A city is nothing without people, and the people of Chicago are a unique breed. In warm- er weather, the city lurches forward from the depths of a cold winter and takes to the streets to embrace its humanity. The sidewalks of any given neighborhood are full of workers, shop- pers, travelers and tourists. Sports unite and divide Chicagoans, and the Wrigleyville neighborhood is full of baseball fans either at the stadium or in numerous bars celebrating the sport, the city and each other. The city pulses to the beat of public transportation. Buses and trains ship people between the city’s 200-plus neighborhoods, and familiarity with the city’s bus and train schedules provides another layer of protection for residents and visitors. Although those transport maps were new to me, my cameras did the job just fine. — Trent Lesikar A woman walks down a flight of stairs on Columbus Drive.
