On Wednesday, the Texas Senate passed Senate Bill 13, a new piece of legislation that aims to give parents greater control over what their children are reading in schools. The bill builds on House Bill 290 from the previous legislative session, which regulates reading materials sold or included in public school libraries. According to PEN America, there were 538 reported instances of book bans across Texas in the 2023-2024 school year.

Students are excited for one last home game they weren't expecting this season. On Saturday, Texas lost to Georgia in the SEC Championship. If the Longhorns won, they would've received a first round bye in the newly structured 12-team playoff format. With the loss, the number five Longhorns will play Clemson on December 21. Being the higher seed in the bracket, Texas will host Clemson for one final home game of the year. "The 5 seed is a good spot to be in," UT student, Ryan Jones said.
