When we met with UT President William Powers Jr. last fall, he stressed that his focus in the upcoming legislative session would be “budget cuts, budget cuts, budget cuts.” We never imagined that in the middle of a legis- lative session that will have enormous impli- cations for Texas higher education, internal politics within the UT System would compli- cate his ability to protect UT funding. And we definitely never fathomed that only five years into a presidency marked by higher rankings and successful efforts to recruit renowned professors, Powers’ job could possibly be in jeopardy. On Tuesday, the Texas Exes alumni organi- zation issued a resolution in support of Pow- ers and his belief that the University should champion academic research as a means to educate students and enhance its academic reputation. While Exes president Richard Leshin acknowledged that he lacks firsthand knowledge of Powers’ job security, he said his sources are “very good” and he certainly had enough faith in them to email the Powers resolution to more than 200,000 alumni. Adding to speculation, Powers sent a rare campus-wide email Tuesday defending his work at UT and describing his vision for a 21st century research university. The email did not directly address recent controver- sies about the Board of Regents or rumors about his job security. However, the email’s timing — one day after the Exes’ resolution — and subject matter — defending academic You should care about the Farm Bill research while powerful figures devalue it paints a bleak picture.

CLUB SPOTLIGHT FENCING SIDELINE Pre-med student takes a stab at fencing NBA PLAYOFFS

By Lauren Giudice GRIZZLIES Daily Texan Staff

Wes Stafford spends his free time stabbing people but aspires to heal them one day. On Tuesday, Stafford was elected SPURS president of the UT fencing club for the 2011-12 year. He is also a pre- med student and has hopes of be- coming a doctor. “There are a lot of really person- 76ERS al reasons as to why I want to be a doctor,” Stafford said. “Most impor- tantly though, I want to help people. I have the ability to, so I feel like it’s something I need to do.” The fencing team participated in HEAT a national tournament earlier this month at the University of Chi- cago. Stafford had an outstanding performance, only losing four out of 30 epee bouts. The men’s epee team came in fifth overall. NUGGETS “We went up five places from last year and finished a lot stronger,” Stafford said. “A lot of the weapons did much better than they did last year.” As a pre-med student, academics THUNDER are important in Wes’ life, but fenc- ing is what keeps him sane through all of the organic chemistry and biology classes.
