Serving the Texas Tech University community since 1925

A day pulsing with history follows old script WASHINGTON (AP) — It was altogether a more intimate affair than four years ago. Just a party of untold hundred thousands, chilling in the nation’s backyard.

President Barack Obama’s inauguration Monday brought out a festive crowd of flag-wavers who filled the National Mall to overflowing, hailed his moment with lusty cheers and spent their down time spotting celebrities amid the bunting.

No match for the staggering masses and adrenaline-pumping energy of his first turn as president on the West Front of the Capitol. But a lively second act.

After a roaring rendition of the

‘‘

There’s a lot of energy here today.

But it doesn’t compare to last time, when it was just off the charts.”

“Battle Hymn of the Republic” came James Taylor strumming his guitar and singing “America the Beautiful.” Then a n a l l - f o r- s h o w swearing-in, replicating the official Sharon Davis one Sunday.

Suitland, Md. Then Obama spoke, as all presidents must in one way or another, about “one nation and one people,” healing words after a battering ram of an election and before the partisan struggles

ahead. The address clocked in at 18 minutes.

He ran 52 minutes in 2009.

Sharon Davis of Suitland, Md., retired after 22 years in the Air Force, OBAMA said it all made her proud beyond words. “There’s a lot of energy here today,” she said. “But it doesn’t compare to last time, when it was just off the charts.”

Hours before the pageantry, people on

foot spilled out of Metro stations near the White House and streamed toward the scene, official vehicles sealed off intersections blocks from the White House and Obama stood for a blessing in the “Church of Presidents.”

The service at St. John’s Episcopal Church captured the intended tone of the day: unity. Bishop Vashti McKenzie of the African Methodist Episcopal Church spoke in the blessing of “this new season of opportunity after conflicting opinions and visions and platforms clanged against each other like a resounding gong.”

A sea of people filled stretches of the National Mall from the West Front

of the Capitol back to the Washington Monument and beyond, to the reflecting pool. No one expected a repeat of the unprecedented crowds of four years ago. But for many thousands, it was not to be missed.

David Richardson, 45, brought his children, Camille, 5, and Miles, 8, from Atlanta to soak it all in and to show them, in Obama’s achievement, that “anything is possible through hard work.”

The “mostly Republican” Vicki Lyons, 51, of Lakewood, Colo., called the experience “surreal” and “like standing in the middle of history.”

Mother of Rough ‘Keeping Up remembers daughter With The Jones’ as silly, innocent girl

By CATHERINE MCKEE NEWS EDITOR

Although Meagan Rough died Dec. 7, 2012, her mother said Meagan is living in two worlds and still saving lives.

Kari Rough, mother of 19-year-old sophomore biochemistry major Meagan Rough, said helping others is what her daughter loved to do.

At 16 years old, Meagan Rough registered to be an organ donor. According to the Facebook page in memory of Meagan Rough, she donated her heart, lungs, kidney, liver and pancreas.

“Meagan is still saving lives,” Kari Rough said. “Whether she was going to be here as a doctor or not, she’s saving lives.”

Meagan Rough died from injuries she sustained after she was ejected from the vehicle, in which she was a passenger.

According to the police report, Jason White, a freshman agricultural science major from Cleburne, was driving while intoxicated when he rear-ended the vehicle.

Despite losing her daughter, Kari Rough said Meagan Rough’s death has helped others see the dangers of drinking and driving.

“If it’s not bringing them to the Lord, it’s at least bringing them to think about recklessness in their lives,” she said.

“There’s so many people that have said, ‘I will never drink and drive again. I will never allow anyone else to.’”

Kari Rough said she does not blame college parties or the Texas Tech community for Meagan Rough’s death.

“There’s not a better school in this world,” she said. “And everybody that attends there has just been amazing and so wonderful to our family and all of her friends.”

She graduated from Kaufman High School in 2011 and planned on being a doctor. Kari Rough said her daughter loved Tech’s medical school and could not have been happier at the university.

Along with helping others, Kari Rough said Meagan Rough enjoyed her church youth group, coaching, cheerleading, softball, volleyball, track, crafts and dressing up.

She had an innocent, silly personality and a hilarious sense of humor, and was loved by all who met her, Kari Rough

said.

Kari Rough said Meagan Rough was the type of person who made a deep connection with everyone she knew because of her hypnotizing personality.

That connection extended to her relationship with her mother, Kari Rough said.

“She was my best friend,” she said. “I could tell her anything. I’m twice her age, but she could help me through every single thing that came my way. She was like that to everyone.”

Two scholarship funds have been created in the name of Meagan Rough at Wells Fargo and American National Bank.

The funds will help students with financial needs attend Tech.

Kari Rough said she will be active against drinking and driving, but is unsure of what route to take yet.

“If we can save another family from going through what we have gone through, then I will work at it until the day I die,” she said.

Her main goal, Kari Rough said, is to make sure good comes out of Meagan Rough’s death.

“If we can just change the life of one person getting behind the wheel, we’ve accomplished something,” she said. “Our job is to make sure that things that happen like this, that something good comes out of it. She did not die in vain.” ➤➤kmckee@dailytoreador.com

CONSTRUCTION WORKERS DISMANTLE the video scoreboard Jan. 15 at Jones AT&T Stadium. The new scoreboard is expected to be completed by the start of the 2013 football season.

Work begins on Jones expansion, video scoreboard

By CATHERINE MCKEE NEWS EDITOR

Drawings are being completed for the north end zone colonnade expansion to Jones AT&T Stadium, which will be completed by August 2013.

The Board of Regents approved the $5 million project at its Dec. 14 meeting, and work has been underway since, Vice Chancellor for Facilities Planning and Construction Michael Molina said.

Although no hard construction has begun, Molina said his office has started site layout for the new seating expansion, which will create approximately 368 seats and add an observation deck with an occupancy load of about 40 seats.

“We’re on a fast track with finishing up our drawings which are mostly structural in nature, so we’ve got the first phase of that completed,” he said. “We are moving quickly to work into hard construction here in the next 30 days or so.”

The 11-column colonnade will connect the west, north end zone seating with the east,

north end zone seating, closing off the north end of the stadium bowl, he said.

Along with creating a coliseum feel to the stadium, Molina said the colonnade will be in the Spanish Renaissance style of Texas Tech and will be architecturally ornamented.

The expansion, he said, will create eight to 10 rows of normal seating with seat backs and will put the observation deck behind those rows.

The contractor, Vaughn Construction of Dallas, is working on two projects in the Jones AT&T Stadium simultaneously, creating one project with one completion date.

The other project, Molina said, is the $11 million video scoreboard, which the Board of Regents approved several meetings ago.

The new scoreboard will be about 5.3 times larger than the existing scoreboard and will create a superstructure that will span from the east to the west side of the existing ticket office.

“What’s unique about the new board is that it’s all state-of-the-art, high-definition video components,” Molina said, “so all the sponsor screens and graphics are all on one board, so

you have full flexibility to grow or diminish the size of marketing and the game play. It basically features incredible clarity and colors to the latest and greatest technology.”

The new scoreboard will feature a ribbon board to show streaming graphics, scores and statistics, he said.

The project, Molina said, is inclusive of a total upgrade to the sound system so everyone can hear the game, which he said is a challenge today. “(The projects) will really wow the Red Raider Nation once they come into Jones for that first kickoff,” he said.

Joshua Koch, a senior journalism major from Fredericksburg and director of the Double T Insider, said the colonnade and video scoreboard will enhance the fan experience as well as attract recruits for football.

“Its kind of the whole thing of keeping up with the Jones’ — well we’re updating the Jones to keep up with everybody else in the Big 12,” he said. “I think fans will enjoy it and it’ll bring more people in.” ➤➤kmckee@dailytoreador.com

Tech purchases horse for Masked Rider Texas Tech purchased Woody as the new horse for the Masked Rider program, according to a news release.

Ashley Wenzel, the Masked Rider, rode Woody, a black, 8-year-old quarter horse, during the Meineke Car Care Bowl on Dec. 28, according to the release.

According to an Oct. 18 article in The Daily Toreador, Midnight Matador, the former horse for the Masked Rider, retired after 11 years because of

a leg injury.

Sam Jackson, associate chair of the Department of Animal and Food Sciences and adviser for the Masked Rider program, said Woody was chosen because he is well trained, according to the release.

“Woody is a very well-trained gelding that is responsive to his rider’s cues and commands,” Jackson said in the release. “He has a soft, quiet mouth and is responsive to the leg cues that a rider must give a horse to be

able to control and maneuver him in crowded and changing environments.”

Tech is hosting a contest to officially name the new horse.

Entries will be accepted until 5 p.m., March 1. Submissions can be emailed to namethehorse@ ttu.edu, according to the release.

One entry is allowed per email.

The winning name will be announced at the Transfer of Reins on April 19, according to the release. ➤➤pskinner@dailytoreador.com

Abortion back on Texas Legislature’s agenda AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Legislature is back, and so are more proposals to restrict abortions.

Republican Gov. Rick Perry has told lawmakers that he expects more anti-abortion laws during the 2013 session to work toward his goal “to make abortion at any stage a thing of the past.”

Anti-abortion activists have pledged to use every legal means possible to make obtaining abortions difficult, if not impossible, to obtain.

Last session Perry signed into law two measures, one requiring doctors to conduct trans-vaginal sonograms before performing an abortion, and another banning groups that support abortion rights from participating in state-funded health programs. This year he wants to further curtail when a woman can have an abortion, a law that courts have blocked in Georgia, Oklahoma and Arizona.

“We ... need to better protect our most vulnerable citizens, the unborn, by expanding the ban on abortion to any baby that can feel the pain of the procedure, and putting in place common-sense oversights on clinics and physicians involved,” Perry told lawmakers on the opening day of the 2013 legislative session.

The so-called fetal pain bill relies on controversial claims that a fetus can feel pain after 20 weeks of gestation.

Under current law, states can only ban abortions after 24 weeks.

Women’s rights activists point to sci-

entific studies that find no evidence to support the claim. Tarrant County Sen. Wendy Davis opposes the effort to “chip away” at a woman’s right to choose.

“This bill, which is not grounded in sound science, represents just one more effort to intercede in decisions best made by a woman and her doctor,” Davis said. “Because these so-called small government advocates won’t acknowledge that a woman’s right to choose is the law of the land, they’re reduced to expanding government into women’s health care decisions.”

Lawmakers have passed similar bills in Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas, Indiana, Idaho, Alabama and Nebraska. But the Oklahoma Supreme Court overturned the law and federal judges in Georgia and Arizona have blocked enforcement of the measure there. The courts determined the laws infringe on a woman’s civil rights.

Janet Crepps, an attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, said the laws are part of a national anti-abortion strategy.

“We really disagree with the science and we feel this is nothing more than a sensational attempt to limit access to abortion based on bad science,” Crepps said, citing recent research as the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. “This is clearly part of an agenda to stop women from accessing abortion, and in Texas in particular, I think you’ve seen a very hostile Legislature against

reproductive rights.”

The measure is just one of Texas Right to Life’s priorities for the 83rd Legislature. They also want to take away a judge’s authority to allow teenage girls, under certain circumstances, to have an abortion without their parent’s permission. They also want a ban on abortion coverage in insurance plans offered under the Affordable Care Act. “Until our elected servants recognize that their first duty is to protect the life of each conceived human being, Texas Right to Life will not stop pushing for new Pro-Life laws,” the group said.

Ardent ant-abortion activist Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, has introduced a bill that would make it more difficult for doctors to prescribe medications that induce abortions by adding a number of new requirements.

The doctor must have a contract with another physician who promises to treat any emergencies arising from the drug, must designate a hospital where the emergency would be treated and the emergency physician must have admitting, gynecological, and surgical privileges at the hospital.

These requirements, among others in the bill, make it more difficult for doctors to prescribe these medications, particularly in rural areas. Advocates argue the law would protect women however critics point out that medically-induced abortions rarely result in complications and the law is designed only to make abortions more difficult to obtain.

NM teen accused of killing family had clean past ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico teenager accused of fatally shooting his parents and three younger siblings had apparently never been in trouble with the law, according to state officials.

A records check by the Children, Youth and Families Department indicated no trouble with 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego or his family, spokesman Bob Tafoya said Monday.

“This youth had no history with the juvenile justice system,” Tafoya said.

Griego remained in custody Monday on two counts of murder and three counts of child abuse resulting in death. He was arrested following the shootings Saturday at a home in a rural area southwest of Albuquerque where he lived with his family.

Investigators trying to piece together what led to the violence found several guns believed used in the shootings, including one described by authorities as a semi-automatic assault-type rifle.

The owner of the weapons hasn’t been determined.

“There’s no other way to say it, except that we have a horrific crime scene down there that we are working on,” said Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston said.

Authorities identified the victims as Greg Griego, 51, his wife Sarah Griego, 40, and three of their children: a 9-yearold boy, Zephania Griego, and daughters Jael Griego, 5, and Angelina Griego, 2.

“Right now we’re to the meticulous points of processing the scene and collecting physical evidence, and this

is a vast scene with a lot of physical evidence,” Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Lt. Sid Covington said Sunday.

Investigators were at the scene Monday but refused to release any more details about the crime. Spokesman Deputy Aaron Williamson did confirm there was no history of any emergency calls to the home in the recent past.

Among the victims was Greg Griego, who had once served as a pastor at one of Albuquerque’s largest Christian churches and was well-known throughout the law enforcement community for his work with Albuquerque firefighters and as a volunteer chaplain who offered spiritual guidance to inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center.

“Chaplain Griego was a dedicated professional that passionately served his fellow man and the firefighters of this community,” Fire Chief James Breen said in a statement. “His calming spirit and gentle nature will be greatly missed.”

Jail Chief Ramon Rustin said Griego was instrumental in the creation of the county jail’s chaplain program and worked to get inmates integrated back into the community.

At Calvary, the Christian church, Griego oversaw the Straight Street program for jail inmates.

She didn’t vote for Obama and voiced plenty of worry about the nation’s future but said: “No matter who the president is, everybody needs to do this at least once.”

Outside the Capitol, scene of Obama’s noontime inaugural speech, people had their pictures taken with the flag-draped building in the background.

Justices, lawmakers, Cabinet members and former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter filled prime seats. Katy Perry, Eva Longoria and John Mayer were among stars on the platform.

Kelly Clarkson sang “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee,” and Beyonce closed with the national anthem.

It was overcast with a breeze, 40 degrees at noon, sparing the

crowd the biting cold morning of four years earlier.

Kenya Strong, a 37-year-old financial analyst from Charlotte, N.C, brought her daughter, Ty, for the second time. Like Richardson, she said the event holds lessons for the young.

“It’s really important for her to understand that her potential is endless,” she said. “You have so much to live and look forward to, for yourself personally, for our country — just to see that there’s more than the here and now.”

Ty Strong, now 15, toted a new camera and broader expectations than in 2009 about the kind of people she’d meet — not just African-Americans like herself.

“There were a lot of different faces among the crowd that you don’t expect to see on an everyday basis — like more foreigners,” she said. “It was nice.”

At midmorning, Metro subway trains through downtown Wa s h i n g t o n w e r e n o m o r e crowded than they would be on a typical workday — except few were going to work.

Transit officials said 308,000 train passengers entered the system as of 11 a.m., down 40 percent from the same period in the 2009 inauguration.

Terry Alexander, a Democratic state representative from South Carolina, and his wife, Starlee Alexander, were taking a leisurely ride from their downtown hotel to Union Station.

Four years ago, they had to ride a bus to the Pentagon from their Virginia hotel and walk across the 14th Street Bridge to the National Mall.

“It was crazy,” he said. “This is calm. Last time, we couldn’t even get down in the tunnel to get to the trains.”

Obama’s motorcade went into motion several hours before the speech, taking him with his family to St. John’s Episcopal Church. Before the sermon, R&B performer Ledisi sang the solo “I Feel Like Goin’ On.” On recent visits to the “Church of Presidents,” Obama has taken to ditching the motorcade in favor of walking back to the White House through Lafayette Park.

But this was a day for a speech, a parade and the many decorative rituals of power, not an idle stroll.

His inaugural speech over, heading into the Capitol before a luncheon of bison and lobster in Statuary Hall, Obama briefly lingered and turned his gaze back to the crowd.

“I want to take a look, one more time,” he said. “I’m not going to see this again.”

Department hosts new dance studio dedication STAFF WRITER

The Department of Theatre and Dance, along with the College of Visual and Performing Arts, hosted a dedication for Creative Movement Studio, the new dance studio, 6 p.m. Saturday.

The space is located at the corner of Akron Avenue and Glenna Goodacre Boulevard, across the street from Gordon Residence Hall.

Alumni, Lubbock residents, dance students and College of Visual and Performing Arts faculty and staff were in attendance, said Genevieve Durham DeCesaro, head of dance. “(The purpose was) to celebrate a new dedicated space for dance and to celebrate the development and growth of the program by recognizing our alumni,” she said.

The event started with a cocktail hour where alumni mingled with faculty and staff of the College of Visual and Performing Arts, and was followed by speeches by Mark Charney, the Chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance; Carol Edwards, dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts; Valerie Komkov Hill, alumna of the dance program; and Suzanne Aker, founder of the dance program at Tech and founder of Ballet Lubbock.

Texas should pass ‘Racial Justice Act’ DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas prosecutor who built a reputation for freeing wrongfully convicted inmates says he has an idea to advance criminal justice reform in Texas: allowing defendants to appeal convictions and sentences on the basis of race.

Craig Watkins, the Dallas County district attorney, said in a recent interview that he wants lawmakers to consider what he called the Racial Justice Act. Such an act might allow defendants to introduce evidence, either in their specific case or through general statistics, to argue that their prosecutions or sentences were influenced by race, he said.

“The issue that we’re bringing to light is to make sure that everything is fair, no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from, and you’re treated just like anyone else,” Watkins said. “And if you deserve a death sentence, then you will get it.

If you didn’t, then you shouldn’t be on death row.”

Watkins said he plans to discuss the idea with lawmakers and hopes to have a bill filed in the next few months.

It’s unclear whether the bill could garner enough support to make its way through the Republicandominated Legislature, expected by observers to be one of the most conservative in state history. In two states that have passed similar acts, the bills have had some impact and occasionally caused controversy.

At least one prominent advocate for criminal justice reforms, Innocence Project of Texas chief counsel Jeff Blackburn, said he was skeptical.

“I think the chances of getting something like that done are between slim and none,” Blackburn said. He added, “I think that on a practical level, this kind of Legislature, you’ve got to be tightly focused.”

“I love it,” Gunn said. “I think it’s great because we have a space that’s just for dance, so we don’t have to share it with theatre or music or anybody else, and it’s a large space, so we can still hold a good-sized audience.”

Charney said he would like for the program to offer a graduate degree, look into hosting a national dance festival and be accredited by the National Association of Schools of Dance.

Marches, parades across Texas mark MLK holiday DALLAS (AP) — Parades and rallies were held Monday in cities across Texas to salute slain civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on the national holiday in his name.

At a community march in Austin, participants were encouraged to donate items to a food bank. Thousands took part in an MLK march in San Antonio. There were two parades in Houston to honor King’s legacy, as well as parades in Dallas and Fort Worth.

Teens with the day off school joined the MLK march in San Antonio.

“It brings everybody together,” 16-year-old Zachary Davis told the San Antonio Express-News.

Davis, a Samuel Clemens High School student, added that he tries to participate in the march every year.

“I’m supporting Martin Luther King and everything he’s done for us — and everyone, actually,” Davis said.

Deion Stewart, 15, from the same high school, has participated in the march for the past two years.

“It’s a reminder that we all have to stick together and come as one, and never forget what we’ve been

through and how far we’ve come for what we have today,” Stewart said.

The Toros Motorcycle Club has attended the MLK march in San Antonio since 1999. The group’s two dozen members watch the start of the march before welcoming march-goers at a park.

“It’s a momentous occasion; we wouldn’t miss it. We’re a predominantly African American motorcycle club, so it’s a civic responsibility to show our support,” said Willie “Hawkeye” Lindsay, president of the group’s San Antonio chapter.

In Houston, Jeff Moore, his wife and two sons attended the MLK Grande Parade.

“Every year we come down with the boys,” Moore told the Houston Chronicle. “Part of it is they enjoy the music and the bands. But it also gives them a historical context for a lot of the privileges we have today that we haven’t always had. And Dr. King had a lot to do with that.”

The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southernmost College planned a day of service Monday. The Volunteer Center of Lubbock offered service projects such as making Valentine’s Day cards for veterans and sorting clothing donations to a charitable group.

Love can be expressed with a ring.

Opinions

Taxes not always bad, often misunderstood T

axes — the mere utterance of this word will spark many American with a dystopian vision of some nefarious government bureaucrat coming to their door to take away their money or take them to jail if they don’t have it.

There are many countries, such as Denmark, Finland, and the Netherlands, whose citizens pay more than half of their income in taxes, yet are among the happiest people in the world according to Gallup polls taken from 2005-2011. Why, then, are taxes so maligned in the United States?

I think one reason for this phenomenon is that generally, Americans are clinging to the 18th-century social mindset that taxes are bad because the British monarchy levied them without the consent of the colonies. I cannot count the number of times I’ve heard something to the effect of “We (the U.S.)

Jakob Reynolds fought against Britain to get away from taxes!” exclaimed by more conservative-minded people in discussions about tax policy.

Though I could go on for pages about the inaccuracies of this statement, I do admit that it does bring up a good point: taxation without the consent of the taxed is a bad thing; no reasonable person would deny that. It does not mean, however, that taxes themselves are bad.

Another reason I think taxes receive such a bad reputation lies in the way they are often referred to when discussed. Right-wing politicians and media use scare tactics to paint any kind of

government-sponsored service as inefficient or inferior to those offered by the private sector.

This is compounded when conservatives propagate the idea that the government uses taxes as an evil means of taking away money from hard-working people and “job creators” and using it to pay for “entitlement programs” that benefit those who don’t work and freeload off the system.

In reality, when conservatives talk about “job creators”, they tend to be extremely wealthy people who own businesses and get taxpayer-funded bailouts when they make irresponsible business decisions, as has been demonstrated numerous times in the past decade. “Entitlement programs” like Social Security and Medicare do directly benefit the small number of people riding the system, but also benefit the vastly larger number of hardworking people trying to make

ends meet and paying for these programs through taxes.

Contrary to what conservative politicians and media pundits will tell you, taxes are not a way for the government to punish those who work hard or make a lot of money. They are not a way for the government to fund programs that take away your freedom to choose where you get healthcare or buy food.

Rather, taxes are simply the government’s way of paying for services it renders to the public.

These include things that are utilized in some fashion by the general public — roads, libraries, firemen, police officers and protection from foreign threats by the military.

Taxes also are used to fund domestic programs like public pensions, public education, food stamps and universal healthcare that provide essential services to those who would not be able to afford it on their own. I do not

think that it is too outlandish of a claim that people in countries like Denmark and Finland are the happiest people in the world because they don’t have to worry about not having access to education, health care, food, or housing because they pay more than half of their income in taxes to have that option guaranteed by the state.

Though overtaxing is something about which to be legitimately concerned, I don’t think that it should dominate public discourse on tax policy as it always has. What people should really be concerned about is who is in charge of how their hardearned tax dollars are spent.

Why is it that when businesses that are “too big to fail” make irresponsible decisions, they get taxpayer-funded handouts from the government? Why is a mere 2.4 percent of our GDP spent on our crumbling infrastructure, which several independent agen-

The Trots

cies, including the American Society of Civil Engineers, have deemed structurally deficient and obsolete? Why do we spend so many of our tax dollars on foreign aid when 17 million American households are considered to be “food-insecure” by the U.S. Department of Agriculture?

These are the questions that Americans should be considering when they talk about taxes. Many of our nation’s problems are not due to a lack of tax revenue. If you think about it, a large number of the fiscal problems facing our nation don’t stem from the fact that we have to pay taxes.

Rather, they are due to elected officials who aren’t spending their constituents’ taxes wisely.

The sooner Americans understand this issue and resolve it, the happier our nation will be.

Potential smoking ban more hurtful than helpful Jordan Sigler potential peer babysitters. Faculty members — professors with Ph.Ds., perfectly able to make their own decisions — would be subject to self-righteous students’ rules.

It is an easy point to concede that tobacco and secondhand smoke cause health problems.

This is why tobacco is allowed only to be used outside at Tech.

Students can walk away from those partaking.

Tobacco isn’t the only dangerous particle allowed on Campus.

Cars and buses emit toxicants that hurt lungs, including carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide

(found in cigarettes). According to canerresearchuk.org, carbon monoxide kills cilia that help lungs curtail other hazardous pathogens, and nitrogen oxide ruins lung tissue.

The buses that circle around campus are diesel-fueled. According to the Environment and Human Health, Inc. website, 40 percent of diesel exhaust contains hazardous pollutants. Also from the website, these pollutants are carcinogenic, disease-causing, and are irritants. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, pollutants from exhaust contribute to half of all outdoor pollution causes.

For student safety, should the SGA consider banning vehicles on campus? I doubt they will, and hope they won’t; vehicles help Tech function.

And so does tobacco. People

EDITORIAL BOARD

T

he Texas Tech Student Government Association is listening to the opinions of members of the student body this week regarding whether or not Tech’s campus should go tobacco-free.

If the general consensus of the meeting is supportive toward a tobacco ban, the SGA will take the next step in making the campus tobacco-free.

It is a shame that students at university are considering banning the substance on the campus. I don’t enjoy breathing in someone else’s tobacco smoke.

But when someone else lights up, I don’t cough obnoxiously — I move a couple feet to avoid them.

It is not a big deal to physically move a few yards.

Students aren’t the only members of the Tech community who would be affected by these

use tobacco for a reason, and it isn’t just to look like John Wayne, though past advertisements from tobacco companies featuring Hollywood actors proved effective.

Tobacco helps students and professors perform in the classroom. According to the healthguidance.org article “Why Do People Smoke Cigarettes?” nicotine, the active ingredient in tobacco, improves efficiency in processing information, gives a feeling of euphoria, decreases anxiety, and helps users stay alert.

I’m not trying to say that cigarettes are magic health sticks.

That would be absurd. What I am saying is some members of the Tech community may benefit from a light occasionally.

In fact, if there is a bill the SGA should be coming up with, it would be a bill allowing alcohol on campus, like is the policy

of Rice and some Ivy League schools. The late Christopher Hitchens said when he was an undergraduate on Oxford’s campus, he was encouraged, when being tutored, to have a little wine to help with reading and attaining entheos, a Greek term referring to alacritous and impassioned learning. (Now I must state, there is a difference between achieving this helpful state and getting hammered…)

Tech shouldn’t succumb into peer pressure that other universities have made the decision to go tobacco free. The reason U.T. went tobacco free was because there were incentives if they outlawed it.

According to U.T.’s website, the school went tobacco free in order to continue receiving funding from the Cancer Research Institute of Texas.

If the Tech student body and the SGA do decide students and faculty should briskly walk off campus for a tobacco break between classes, they should at least see if the school can’t sell out that joy for a few dollars in return.

King of Country begins farewell tour in Lubbock

By ASHLYN TUBBS STARR WRITER

When the King of Country came to Lubbock, he packed United Spirit Arena with thousands of fans holding signs and signing along with his country songs.

George Strait kicked off his farewell tour “The Cowboy Rides Away” on Friday in Lubbock after decades of touring.

The crowd, which had a diverse age span, seemed disappointed when George Strait left the stage after his last song, yelling for him to encore.

He did not disappoint.

Strait returned to play more songs including “All My Ex’s Live In Texas” and “Folsom Prison Blues” before singing “The Cowboy Rides Away,” leaving the stage and walking through the crowd as he completed his last live performance in Lubbock.

“I knew he was going to come back out because I knew he was going to end on ‘The Cowboy Rides Away,’” said Amy Otho of Midland. “Overall, it was awesome. He played for over two hours.”

Strait pulled off a great farewell concert, Otho said.

“We were on the fifth row, so when he was singing at that one microphone, he was right in front of us,” she said. “I loved it.”

Robert Jones took his daughter Ashley from Amarillo to attend the concert with him.

“I thought it was absolutely wonderful,” Jones said. “It was great and exciting. ‘Amarillo By Morning’ really touched us because we’ve always loved that song.”

For Jones, his favorite moment of the concert was the same as many other members of the crowd.

“I really loved the encore,” he said.

“Everyone was up and screaming, and it was a very exciting moment.”

Staci Jones of Midland said although Strait performed many award-winning songs, one particularly stood out to her.

“My favorite song was when he sang

‘Troubadour,’” she said. “It was so much fun and amazing.”

Country musician Martina McBride opened the show for Strait, and crowd members such as Staci Jones said McBride blew her away.

“She was so amazing,” Staci Jones said. “She’s so beautiful and just a natural, real woman who sings about real life stuff. My favorite song she sang was ‘In My Daughter’s Eyes.’”

Staci Jones attended the concert with Ashley Smith of Beaumont, who also agreed on McBride’s talent and beauty.

“She was so good,” Smith said. “Her eyes are awesome.”

Robert Jones said McBride performed well on stage and kept him entertained.

“We liked her songs,” he said. “We’ve always enjoyed Martina McBride.”

During McBride’s performance, she teased the crowd about raising teenage daughters, saying sometimes she just needs a drink. She also said real, true country fans are in Texas.

“Everybody say ‘Yee-haw,’” McBride said to the crowd.

She covered songs she said she wishes she had recorded in the first place, including “The First Cut Is The Deepest,” by Sheryl Crow, “Free Falling” by Tom Petty and “King Of The Road” by Roger Miller. Not only did she sing, but played the harmonica and tambourine during some songs.

While singing “Independence Day,” McBride threw down the microphone stand with an enthusiastic “Yeah!”

She received a standing ovation after her last song, and she extended a “Thank you” to Strait for having her on the tour.

Before Strait appeared on stage, a video played showing all the awards he received beginning in 1981 with Billboard Male Artist of the Year until 2010 with the Billboard Awards Top Country Artist of the Past 25 Years.

It also revealed every album Strait released has received a gold status at

minimum from the Record Industry Association of America.

Then, the video played footage of many country artists paying their respects to Strait as he embarks on his final tour, including Garth Brooks, Dierks Bentley, Taylor Swift, Clay Walker, Lee Ann Womack, Blake Shelton, Jamey Johnson, McBride, Alan Jackson, Ron-

nie Dunn, Kenny Chesney, and ended with Reba McEntire.

Strait began his concert by playing “Here For A Good Time,” then sang another crowd favorite, “Check Yes Or No.” After Strait sang “I Saw God Today,” the screen displayed a picture of a baby sleeping in a Texas Tech football helmet, which caused many crowd

members to their Guns Up. During his performance, Strait also honored a wounded warrior named Chris, whose best friend died in his arms during his service. After Chris left the stage, Strait told the crowd it did not “get much better than that” and had to compose himself before continuing the concert.

Strait left the stage after his encore with a standing ovation from the crowd, cheering one last time for the King of Country as he rode away.

“We were so sad that it was his last concert,” Staci Jones said, “but we’ll follow him anywhere.” ➤➤atubbs@dailytoreador.com

Kingsbury introduces staff, discusses team’s future

By MICHAEL SUNIGA STAFF WRITER

Newly appointed Texas Tech football coach Kliff Kingsbury addressed the media Friday afternoon to announce the hiring of his coaching staff and his goals for the upcoming season.

After being announced head coach more than a month ago, Kingsbury has completed his search for Tech’s coaching staff and has opted to go for a youthful approach.

The last month and a half has been fast and furious, Kingsbury said.

“It’s been hectic, but it’s been fun,” he said.

Kingsbury said he is hopeful the new coaches will bring fire and enthusiasm to the Red Raider football team.

“I want guys that want to be head coaches,” Kingsbury said. “I think that’s how you get the greatest work ethic out of them. You don’t want guys that are content to be at a certain level.”

Of the 11 coaches on staff, six have degrees from Tech, meaning they are familiar with the area and facilities already.

“I think this place is special to them,” Kingsbury said. “They were

coveted employees at the universities they were at and wanted to come back here, and they know what we can make this place.”

Kingsbury made several marquee signings including Mike Smith, whom he coaxed away from the New York Jets organization, and Matt Wallerstedt, who helped coach Texas A&M to a Cotton Bowl victory Jan. 4.

Having 10 assistant coaches on the team means Kingsbury will not be alone in coming up with game plans and schemes. Kingsbury plans to utilize them often throughout the season.

“They’ll have a big input in the game planning,” he said. “That’s the biggest thing with me having head coaching duties. They’ll really take a big step in the game planning and practice preparation.”

In hiring his full coaching staff, Kingsbury said he will not only look to the upcoming season, but also will look to the future because recruiting season is right around the corner.

Although Tech will have needs at many different positions, Kingsbury will not rush to fill spots with any available player, he said. Kingsbury is only looking for players who will fit his system

and fill specific needs.

One player who Kingsbury is looking to use heavily is junior receiver Eric Ward, who has announced he will stay for his senior season. In the 2012 season, Ward caught 12 touchdowns and recorded more than 1,000 receiving yards. “(The team is) very excited to get him back, and we all know he’s a tremendous player and he had a tough decision,” Kingsbury said. “He has a family and he has graduated, so for him to come back and want to represent Texas Tech one more year — that was huge for us.”

Ward’s contribution will be essential to Tech’s success because it is losing five of its core receivers from the 2012 season. Kennard, Moore, Torres, Williams, and Zouzalik are seniors and are expected to leave once the current semester ends.

During the 2012 season, Doege established himself as an elite quarterback, but Tech will gain a new dimension at the position when freshman quarterback Michael Brewer steps into the starting role in 2013.

Brewer is a dual-threat quarterback who showed people what he was capable of when he replaced Doege for one play during the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas at Reliant Stadium, completing a 13-yard pass for a touchdown.

Excluding graduating seniors, Kingsbury said there has been a rate of

Anderson scores 27 in Hornets win NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Ryan Anderson patiently answered questions after a 27-point performance in the New Orleans Hornets’ 114105 victory over Sacramento on Monday. About 15 feet away, the franchise’s prized player was nursing an ankle injury.

After a first half which in which he scored 11 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, the Hornets’ Anthony Davis sat out the second, after spraining his left ankle in the second quarter.

It was the same ankle he injured earlier in the year that sidelined him for 11 games.

However, Davis said he should be ready to play at Sacramento on Wednesday, the first of a grueling stretch in which the Hornets will play 9 of 11 games away from New Orleans Arena.

“I landed on (his) foot and rolled it,” Davis said, “Pretty sure I should be back. It’s fine. “ Greivis Vasquez scored19 points, Eric Gordon 16, and Al-Farouz Aminu 14 for the Hornets, who have won 3 of their past 4.

DeMarcus Cousins led the Kings with 29 points and 13 rebounds. Isaiah Thomas scored 20 points, Tyreke Evans 16 and Travis Outlaw 10 for Sacramento, which was playing its first game since it was announced the team would be sold and potentially moved to Seattle.

Anderson scored 17 points in the second quarter and 19 in the half, making 5 of 8 3-point attempts when the Hornets raced to a 64-39 halftime lead. He finished 7 of 14 beyond the arc.

“I shot some tonight that were a little difficult,” said Anderson, who added the Kings’ defense allowed the Hornets to spread the floor. “I got open looks and the guys were looking for me.”

The Hornets shot 53.1 percent in the first 2 quarters and matched a season high for first-half points.

“It was one of our better first halves,” Davis said. “We pushed the ball offensively, we defended really well.”

The Hornets packed its defense in the paint, continually denying

Lady Raiders upset No. 23 Kansas Rockets beat Bobcats to snap 7-game skid

By ALEX TORREZ STAFF WRITER

The Texas Tech women’s basketball team defeated No. 23 Kansas 70-63 in United Spirit Arena, improving its record to 14-4 (4-2).

Senior guard Chynna Brown led the team with 20 points for the second consecutive game in a row, but said the feat was not the main thing upon which she was focused.

“I‘m mainly just proud of my teammates,” she said. “Me scoring 20 points or me scoring two (points) really doesn’t make a difference. I just wanted to win.”

Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said she was not surprised at how well Brown performed.

“She is not doing anything I didn’t think she would be capable of doing,” Henrickson said. “She’s got great elevation and good balance.”

Henrickson said she knew the Lady Jayhawks had threats from three Lady Raider seniors coming into the game Saturday night.

“All three of those three seniors are good,” she said. “(Tech head coach) Kristy (Curry) can use all those guys, and then play them to their strengths. We knew the ball would be in one of their three hands.”

The Lady Raiders took the lead early on in the first half, leading 9-2, and this kept Curry proud of the tenacity the team displayed.

“I think the biggest thing is just the will to win,” Curry said.

The Lady Jayhawks took the lead for the first time in the second half at 48-47, but this did not worry Brown.

“I’ve been in this situation before,” she said. “We stayed humbled and came back out aggressive.”

Curry said she was pleased with Brown’s performance, along with the play of junior forward Shauntal Nobles.

“You could see it in her face down the stretch from the steal, to play,” Curry said. “She really stepped up.”

“I think the thing about Shauntal, she was just ready to play,” Curry said. “Every day, she’s just getting to a point where she is getting stronger stamina-wise in practice. She’s just been a huge punch off the bench.”

Brown said she knows that the seniors are not the only ones that can lead the team in the Big 12.

“Anyone can step up on any given night,” Brown said. “Anyone can lead on the team.”

After this big win, Curry and the Lady Raiders are ready to go on the road and face West Virginia in Morgantown on Tuesday.

“They are an NCAA traditions tournament team,” Curry said.

starting Bobcats.

Harden was just 2 of 9 from the field in the first half and missed several easy shots, including a pair of driving layups. He also had three turnovers, including one where he inexplicably lost control of his dribble with no defender near him.

He twice had his shot blocked.

Harden’s shaky first half ended when his heave from half-court as time expired sailed about 10 feet wide of the backboard.

Walker went 6 of 7 on 3s. He made all three tries in the first half, helping the Bobcats take a 56-45 lead at the break.

Charlotte got it done on the defensive end, blocking six shots — four by center Bismack Biyombo. He wound up with seven blocks, four against Harden.

Walker made 3-pointers on backto-back possessions that gave the Bobcats an 81-74 lead entering the fourth quarter.

Harden made just 5 of 20 shots, but went 19 of 21 on free throws.

He was perfect from the line when the Rockets overcame a seven-point deficit in the final period.

Marcus Morris had 21 points for the Rockets. Carlos Delfino scored 16, including a 3-pointer from the right corner that put Houston ahead for good at 96-94 with 1:54 left.

Harden has led the Rockets in scoring in 22 of the last 23 games.

He also finished with seven assists and seven rebounds.

Houston couldn’t find a flow on offense early and fell behind by 12 against the typically slow-
