SGA bloc looks to assist students on, off campus

One Tech

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

Candidates of the One Tech candidate bloc for Student Government Association elections on Feb. 26-27 aim to have an agenda that is one in the same with students of Texas Tech.

One Tech hopes to address the issues that affect Tech students on and off campus.

Hayden Hatch, a junior political science major from Lubbock and SGA presidential candidate, is looking to solve off-campus issues that students have voiced their opinions and thoughts on.

One of the issues Hatch hopes to provide a solution to is Tech’s different spring break schedule from other Texas schools.

“I really want to make sure that in the future years our spring break is the same as other Big 12 schools,” he said. “I know lots of people have friends at other universities that they group with, and I want them to be able to spend that week with their buddies from home.”

Expanding the services of Tech’s dining bucks program is also one of Hatch’s proposals if elected SGA president.

“I want to expand that outside of campus so that you can go at restaurants outside of campus,” Hatch said. “We would work out a student discount and it would benefit the Lubbock community at the same time.”

Baleigh Waldrop, a junior accounting major from Hobbs N.M. and internal vicepresidential candidate, said she has plans to implement a program called Mix it Six. The program would be a mixer that will increase collaboration and interaction among SGA and student organizations.

“I think this is important because it is a great opportunity for us to actually talk to students right before we go and vote on legislation that could potentially affect them

every day,” she said.

Waldrop also looks to implement a program called Safe Walk. The program would be a service that would be available for students that feel uncomfortable walking alone on campus at night.

“Let’s say you have a freshman girl that wants to go from her car to her dorm,” she said. “It’s one in the morning, she doesn’t want to walk by herself, she has a number to call.”

Waldrop thinks creating the Safe Walk program is something feasible to provide and manage.

Transportation services for students at Tech is one of the topics external vicepresidential candidate Stetson Whetstone

hopes to address.

Whetstone, a junior restaurant, hotel and institutional management major from Austin, thinks the bus services at Tech do not fully meet the transportation needs of students and hopes to revert to the bus transportation services offered last year.

“The bus transportation we have now is not efficient,” Whetstone said. “It’s costing students more money they are wasting.”

Whetstone, if elected, said he would hope to create bike maintenance stations called Bike Barn. The stations would provide tools and parts need for the maintenance of bikes. The maintenance stations would also provide employment for people skilled in bike repair.

“You can go there, charge to your Raidercard, credit card or cash,” Whetstone said.

“You can go there and get the certain tool you need to get to your next location.”

Whetstone also plans to have the profits of the Bike Barns to go to campus beautification.

Lobbying to the state legislature for the reduction of taxes on textbooks is also one of the objectives Whetstone has if elected external vice president.

“We hear from many students that they spend upwards of hundreds of dollars a semester,” he said. “If we can lower that and save any money for students, that’s positive for us.”

As a part of Texas Tech Hospitality Services’ effort to emphasize healthy food options for faculty and students, the program has hired its first full-time dietitian, Mindy Diller.

A doctoral candidate and registered dietitian, Diller said she previously held the part-time role of campus dietitian. However, as Hospitality Services began to expand its health and well-

ness programs across campus, Diller said the need for a full-time position was created.

In her position, Diller works with kitchen staffs and Executive Chef Dewey McMurrey to exchange ideas, work on menu items and discuss the nutritional components of food items served.

She also offers nutritional counseling for students and their parents, she said.

Texas Tech recently purchased new automated external defibrillators for the campus, machinery that could potentially save lives.

The defibrillators are a way for Tech to add safety precautions to campus in case anyone on experiences cardiac arrest.

“It’s a large campus and medical care is generally more than 10 minutes away,” Dr. Thomas Tenner, pharmacology professor at Tech and former president of the Texas affiliate of the American Heart Association, said.

Cliff Harris, director of environmental health and safety, said the estimated cost of the new AEDs is $1,300 per unit.

Ventricular fibrillation, or cardiac arrest, happens when a person’s heart is not pumping blood to their brain, he said, and in the absence of that, the person passes out.

This can happen suddenly and without warning.

“Cardiac arrest can happen in a lot of people who may seem normal to us — people who don’t know they have any kind of cardiac issues,” Alejandro Perez-Verdia, a cardiologist at the Tech physicians center for cardiovascular health, said.

When this kind of medical emer-

FAX: 806-742-2434

gency happens, it is vital to begin CPR and attach the person to a defibrillator.

A person has about a 10-minute window to get the heart back into a normal rhythm, Tenner explained, and the probability of recovery decreases by 10 percent per minute.

“It is important for bystanders to begin using a defibrillator right away,” he said.

If there is an AED available, it is possible to bring a person back before medical professionals arrive, Tenner said.

The new AEDs purchased by Tech are user-friendly, and a bystander could easily use the machinery with no medical education.

“These machines are designed to be used by any person,” Perez-Verdia said.

To use new AEDs, a person places the pads on the patient, turns the machine on and the machine does everything, Harris said.

Any bystander who sees the person collapse can grab the machine, open it up and it will walk them through it, Perez-Verdia said.

The machine, once attached, will record the victim’s heart rhythm and if the recording shows ventricular fibrillation, it will instruct the person using the AED to administer a shock to the victim’s heart.

getting us established as a health and wellness avenue for everyone.

I want to be able to open my door to as many students as possible.”

Hospitality Services is currently working to incorporate more gluten-free and vegetarian options on campus, she said.

Foods with gluten include wheat, barley and rye, according to the Mayo Clinic website. Gluten can often be found in foods like bread, cake, salad dressing and various snack food items.

The department wants to ensure the healthy foods are at the forefront of dining locations, she said.

“As our new registered dietitian, she’s going to be doing some really creative things within our department,” Alan Cushman, business development unit manager of hospitality services, said.

“With our executive chef, Mindy will work on outreach and education for students.”

As a part of this initiative, Diller will speak in the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center

in a four-part series on health at the end of this month.

On Feb. 19, she will speak with the Residence Halls Association at Horn/Knapp Residence Complex to promote wellness.

Before working for Tech, Diller graduated from both Tech’s undergraduate and graduate schools. Diller worked as a Living Well Specialist for United Supermarkets. She currently volunteers with Healthy Lubbock and is involved with the Lubbock Coalition for Better Nutrition, she said.

The mission of the coalition is to promote and provide access to healthy eating lifestyles, according to the Lubbock Coalition for Better Nutrition’s website.

Diller said she works with a group of health and wellness professionals who review different restaurant menu options and provide the Healthy Lubbock Dining Guide for people to reference.

Diller said it is important for everyone to maintain his or her health, especially students.

“Sometimes we don’t realize the road ahead of us,” Diller said. “It’s not something a lot of college kids think of, so I think it’s something we can expand on and grow and hopefully make a big difference.”

Improving eating habits, staying active, sleeping adequately and maintaining mental health are significant for college students to remain healthy, according to the Center for Disease Control’s website.

As a native of West Texas, Diller said working for Tech is ideal as the university has a foundation set already for healthy food options.

“I’m hoping students will recognize that I’m here full time,” Diller said, “and my door is always open. I’m thrilled to be at Texas Tech. It is such a huge opportunity for me to be here growing healthier students. I want to give back to the students, the community and the people I was raised around.”

“We have over 34 locations with food components,” she said.

“My job is very spread out as a result, so I have to make sure I’m not just supporting the kitchen managers and cooks. The first and foremost important thing is the wellness of faculty and students.”

Counseling techniques vary by student and largely depend on the individual’s nutritional needs, she said.

Diller provides support for general wellness, nutrition conditions, overall nutritional concerns and other services, she said.

In her first month at Tech, Diller has seen nine to 15 students. She said in the past, only a handful of students would seek assistance each semester.

Diller said this demonstrates the growing need for health options.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Conservatives teeming with anti-Washington frustration are talking about driving the Republicans’ policy agenda and ousting GOP leaders who don’t hew to their ideology.

At meetings in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol on Monday, two of Washington’s most aggressive political organizations outlined conservative agendas that, from health care to federal budgets, run counter to a strategy preferred by Republican congressional leaders.

Tea party-styled leaders vowed to prevail over moderates in the party and longtime politicians.

“Americans are frustrated because their priorities are not the priorities of Washington,” said Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican freshman from Texas and a tea party leader, said at Heritage Action for America, a Washington organization that agitated for last year’s government shutdown. “This cuts across party lines.”

That churning resentment could be a boon for conservative candidates, especially those looking to take on incumbent lawmakers from their own party.

At the same time, conservatives said the party needs to present policy proposals that can help form an alternative to President Barack Obama’s second term and win over voters. Panels at a day-long summit at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank linked to Heritage Action, focused on alternatives to Democrats’ national health care law and federal social welfare programs.

Conservatives are also facing established GOP leaders like House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, who has said tea party sympathizers have credibility problems stemming from their cut-it-or-shut-it resistance to compromise on weighty national issues.

“The American people want choices,” said Rep. Tom Price, R-Georgia.

OPC set to host ice climbing excursion

By HANNAH HIPP Staff Writer

Students with a love for the cold and a love for danger may be interested in the ice-climbing trip being hosted by the Outdoor Pursuits Center.

Kevin Hoffman, coordinator of outdoor pursuits, is one of two professionals overseeing the trip.

“Our former assistant director left about a year ago and is up at Adams State University,” Hoffman said. “That is actually

where we stage the ice-climbing trip out of.”

The trip will be Feb. 20-23, and applications are due Feb. 12.

No prior experience is needed, Hoffman said, but applicants are encouraged to have some prior rock climbing experience.

“We do a fundamentals of rock climbing class,” Hoffman said.

“People don’t have to be expert rock climbers, but I would highly recommend that they have the basics of rock climbing down before they jump into ice climbing.”

There are about six areas that are good for ice climbing that are near where the group stays, Hoffman said.

It is brutally cold with a lot of snow, he said, with most of the ice coming from waterfalls that are frozen over.

“Typically, February is the perfect time for good ice conditions,” he said.

The trip is one of many the OPC puts on every year and has been going for several years now, Hoffman said.

Hoffman’s previous experiences have prepared him for this trip, he said, and he is excited to have the opportunity to go.

“Moving from Colorado to Texas, it will be nice to be able to get out about once or twice a year and climb,” Hoffman said.

Lawrence Ingerly, a business administration graduate student from Austin, is a student assistant at the OPC. Ingerly said he would love to have the opportunity to go.

Most other trips are student

led, but the danger factor prevents that from being allowed for this trip.

“Ice climbing is a very specialized trip, so there’s very few staff and they cycle through quickly,” Ingerly said.

The former director would only take a limited number of students, Ingerly said.

“We’re just going to get a couple guys who are climbers who can take the trip over, and they’ll go and get the run down of how the trip works,” he said.

According to the Outdoor Pursuits Center Spring Guide, all major equipment needed for the trip will be provided, being covered by the trip’s fee.

The climbers will be staying in a cabin and are able to climb at their own pace, the guide stated.

“This is a good introduction to ice climbing,” Hoffman said.

“You can definitely take it to the really extreme outdoor adventure levels, but this is a great introduction course.” ➤➤hhipp@dailytoreador.com

DA can use Holmes’ cellphone as evidence Mali music festival returns after end of war DENVER (AP) — Eerie selfportraits that Colorado theater shooting defendant James Holmes took with his cellphone hours before the attack could be shown to jurors after the judge ruled that prosecutors can use evidence from the phone at his trial.

Other photos on the phone amount to surveillance of the theater taken up to three weeks before the shootings, prosecutors have said.

In a series of rulings made public Monday, Arapahoe County District Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. also said prosecutors could use evidence from Holmes’ bank records, emails and computers. Defense attorneys had argued that the search warrant used to seize the cellphone, along with Holmes’ cellphone records, bank records and other evidence, were flawed. The judge disagreed and rejected eight defense motions to suppress the evidence.

The cellphone photos, shown in court last year, included one of Holmes wearing black contact lenses and a black

stocking cap, with two tufts of his orange-dyed hair sticking out like a pair of horns.

In another, he held a pistol beneath his face and grinned into the lens. A third showed an assault rifle and shotgun, magazines for ammunition, tactical gear and bags to carry rounds arrayed on a red sheet on a bed.

Police have testified the photos were taken about six hours before the July 20, 2012, shooting, which killed 12 people and injured 70. A rifle and a shotgun were used in the attack.

The photos of the theater were taken on June 29 and later.

Holmes, a 26-year-old former neuroscience graduate student, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to more than 160 counts of murder and attempted murder.

His attorneys have acknowledged he was the shooter but said he was in the grip of a psychotic episode.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Holmes’ trial date is up in the air while both sides work their way

through dozens of pretrial motions.

Prosecutors could use the cellphone photos, bank records and other evidence to make their case to the jury that Holmes planned the attack. But as dramatic as the photos are, they will likely be less important to the outcome of the case than a mandatory sanity evaluation that Holmes underwent at the state mental hospital last month.

The verdict on Holmes’ sanity is up to the jury, and the evaluation will be a key piece of evidence. If jurors decide Holmes was insane, he could not be executed but instead would be committed indefinitely to the state hospital.

The critical conclusions of the evaluation have not been made public, but prosecutors have asked for another by their own experts, saying the doctor who conducted the first one was biased.

Samour has not said when he will rule on the request. He held a four-day hearing on the issue last month that was closed to the public and reporters.

Class back on rise in UK but elite still different LONDON (AP) — For the past three decades, many Britons had hoped the rigid class system that defined their country from Dickens to “Downton Abbey” was finally dying. Now they fear that class, their old bugbear, is back on the rise.

From 1979, Britain was led for more than a decade by Margaret Thatcher, a grocer’s daughter, and then by John Major, the son of a music-hall entertainer. The current leader, David Cameron, is a descendent of King William IV whose Cabinet is stacked with men, like him, from the country’s toniest private schools and Oxford and Cambridge universities.

Even entertainment has a more upper-crust flavor these days. A recent Sunday Telegraph story with the headline “young, gifted and posh” said Britain’s oldest private schools, such as all-male Eton and Harrow, had become a “production line of young talent,” including “Homeland” star Damian Lewis, Benedict Cumberbatch of “Sherlock” and Dominic West of “The Wire.”

Major, alarmed by the apparent reversals, recently sparked a flurry of debate with a speech that made front-page headlines.

“In every single sphere of British influence, the upper echelons of power in 2013 are held overwhelmingly by the privately educated or the affluent middle class,” Major said. “To me, from my background, I find that truly shocking.”

So is it true that class divisions are deepening again?

While the ancestral upper caste still retains its mystique in Britain, the numbers reflect a more complicated reality. An elite still dominates, but it is now a club where money — and the education money can buy — counts more than lineage.

This means more women, ethnic minorities and foreigners have made it to the top. But the increase in diversity masks the fact that it’s becoming harder for the poor and unconnected to climb the social ladder, as the government’s social mobility commission concluded in a hefty report published in October.

A NEW WEALTHY CLASS When the Sunday Times newspaper published its first annual “Rich List” in 1989, Britain’s wealthiest individual was Queen Elizabeth II. The top 10 was dominated by established British property and business owners, including the Duke of Westminster, who owns vast swaths of central London, supermarket magnate Lord Sainsbury and food mogul Lord Vestey. It was a snapshot of an elite heavy on titled backgrounds, clubby connections and inherited wealth.

The 2013 list is a roll-call of international capitalists who have made London their base, with the Duke of Westminster the only carryover from the original roster. Even the queen has dropped out.

The top 10 now includes Uzbek mining magnate Alisher Usmanov; Indian industrialists Srichand and Gopichand Hinduja; Chelsea Football Club’s Russian owner, Roman Abramovich; Norwegian shipping tycoon John Frederiksen and Heineken beer heir Charlene de Carvalho.

SEGOU, Mali (AP) — Long before Mali captured the global spotlight as an al-Qaida training ground where French soldiers had to intervene, the West African nation was celebrated for producing some of the biggest stars in world music.

Now Salif Keita and other top Malian performers are trying to revitalize the country’s music tourism with the return of the Festival on the Niger. The concerts here in central Mali were canceled in 2012 because of fighting in the country’s north, and again in 2013 as French and African forces battled to oust Islamic radicals from power there.

The insecurity also has sidelined Mali’s famous Festival in the Desert, which drew visitors from around the world every year to hear some of the region’s best acts perform, to ride camels and sleep beneath the stars. Although it’s still too dangerous to resume that event, the Festival on the Niger is now back.

“This festival marks a start

to the cultural renaissance of Mali. The country is starting to stabilize and it’s very important to hold this festival and have visitors return,” said Mamou Daffe, director of the festival in Segou, a town in central Mali on the banks of the Niger River.

The event, which ended Sunday, drew 19,000 people including Malians and Western tourists, said Mohamed Konate, a spokesman for the festival. The turnout remained high despite a text message that was sent to French nationals urging them to avoid public gatherings in the capital of Bamako because of the risk of a terror attack.

Among those taking part were Keita, one of Mali’s most famous musicians, Vieux Farka Toure, Haira Arby, Guinean star Sekouba Bambino and Cheick Tidiane Seck.

The concert in Segou was a symbol of social unity after a jihadist occupation essentially divided the country in two, said Seck, a renowned Malian jazz

pianist and composer.

“Security will not be ideal here for some years still but the barbarism is going to end because we are a united country,” he said. “My goal for the north is to organize concerts and unite the artists of the north and south to show we are never going to give up. We are one and indivisible.”

Mali had long been a stable democracy where a moderate form of Islam was practiced until the jihadist takeover in 2012.

Their arrival ushered in an era where women were whipped for going outdoors without veils and convicted thieves were punished with public amputations.

The threat of kidnappings by al-Qaida terrorists also has sidelined the Festival in the Desert, which used to be held each year near the fabled town of Timbuktu. Organizers of the Segou festival invited participants from that event to take part this year in their concert as part of a “cultural caravan for peace.”

GOP stoops to new low with fake campaign websites Jakob Reynolds and donation pages where Internet users are encouraged to donate up to $500. Rather than the campaign donations going to the Democratic campaigns, however, they go to the NRCC, as some confused voters in Florida have already discovered.

Since being exposed, instead of apologizing for the borderline illegal behavior, NRCC s p o k e s p e r s o n D a n i e l S c a rpinato touted the scheme as well planned and well thought out, stating the NRCC is “very proud of this program.”

Scarpinato expects the NRCC to continue to build more of the false websites through the 2014 election cycle, highlighting the fact the NRCC

now owns “hundreds of URLs the Democrats chose not to purchase,” according to the LA Times article.

This, of course, is not the first time the GOP has resorted to elaborate media scams with the sole purpose of deceiving the electorate. In the heat of the debate over the Affordable Care Act, Republicans in California used state tax dollars to distribute flyers and emails “informing” the public about how to navigate the new insurance laws and providing Internet links

Legalizing marijuana would benefit Texas The daily Texan (U. TexaS)

At The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland two weeks ago, Rick Perry spoke in favor of decriminalizing marijuana, stating, “What I can do as the governor of the second largest state in the nation is to implement policies that start us toward decriminalization and keep people from going to prison and destroying their lives.”

Though Perry’s words seemed progressive, they were still just that — words. Words that probably reflect a political rhetoric for Perry’s anticipated national ambitions in 2016.

Perry’s advocacy for decriminalization didn’t include any endorsement of specific policy measures. His statement appeased the pro-marijuana crowd without alienating him from his base; from a political perspective, it’s the best of both worlds. The fact that Perry can endorse decriminalization and potentially walk away without taking too much flack from conservatives is indicative of a growing sentiment in favor of reducing drug penalties.

The changing sentiment is for good reason: Decriminalizing marijuana is highly beneficial for our justice system, our state’s racial equality, and potentially, our health.

Cheyanne Weldon, executive director of the Austin Chapter of the National Organization of

“

the Reform of Marijuana Laws, put the benefits in context for Texas: “There are lot of benefits economically and socially from not arresting 80,000 people a year for marijuana possession,” she said. “We’ll save $10,000 per arrest.”

Benefits to the justice system don’t just help us economically; it also is also a significant step toward racial equality. According to the New York Times, blacks are four times as likely as whites to be arrested on marijuana possession charges, despite the fact that, according to the ACLU, there is little difference in the usage rates of marijuana between the two races.

A comprehensive ACLU report released last May cited initiatives like the Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program as providing incentives for racial profiling.

Programs like this factor in the total number of annual arrests in the performance measures of local law enforcement, and in so doing, arguably encourage increased arrest rates.

University of California, Los Angeles psychology professor Phillip Atiba Goff elaborated on this in the New York Times.

He said that police departments can concentrate on minority and lower-income areas to meet arrest quotas. These kinds of policies exacerbate abhorrent racial issues surrounding marijuanarelated arrests.

In Austin, black people make up about 8.1 percent of the popu-

Decriminalization is the first step in allowing scientists to legally undertake research to provide a definitive answer on the potential health benefits of marijuana.

lation, according to the 2010 census. According to the Austin Police Department, however, black individuals make up about 28.1 percent of those arrested on marijuana charges. So if the ACLU’s marijuana usage statistics are correct, then this number is indicative of Austin’s own race issues in law enforcement.

The racial disparity between usage and arrests is a blunt example of institutional racism. Decriminalization won’t solve this problem at its core, but it will be a step in the right direction.

There are also potential medical benefits to decriminalization.

According to an article published in The Lancet — a medical journal — marijuana is less addictive and harmful than alcohol and tobacco, two legal inebriants.

Aside from being relatively innocuous, it can greatly help fight nausea and the loss of appetite from chemotherapy and reduce pain caused by multiple sclerosis.

Research has shown that it may be able to help with irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, glaucoma, migraine, cancer growth, abnormal heart rhythms, Alzheimer’s disease, fibromyalgia, incontinence, bacterial infections, osteoporosis, intense itching, Tourette’s syndrome and sleep apnea.

Of course, we shouldn’t be too quick to jump on the medical marijuana bandwagon, as more research of the drug is needed. Even so, decriminalization is the first step in allowing scientists to legally undertake research to provide a definitive answer on the potential health benefits of marijuana.

There are many benefits to decriminalization, but Perry’s comments, which were probably made in an attempt to frame himself as more politically libertarian, aren’t a promise of future beneficial policies. Even so, they are a potentially significant step towards a policy that could greatly benefit Texas.

T

he Republican Party never ceases to astound with the lengths they will go to in order to dupe the American public into supporting their increasingly extremist platform. One of the new tactics the GOP is using to accomplish this agenda is to create websites that either focus on misleading information regarding their special interest agenda or, more recently, blatantly misrepresenting themselves.

According to an article in The Los Angeles Times on Friday, the National Republican Congressional Committee has bought hundreds of URLs and created 18 websites posing as campaign websites for Democratic representatives from which they are meant to detract in Congress.

The websites boast large titles mimicking the campaign posters advocating for the targeted candidates, pictures of the smiling candidates speaking to voters

the GOP expose itself and its out-of-touch views as what they really are: servants not of the public, but for the wealthy and big-business. The fact that the GOP is now resorting to outright deception to sell the American electorate its increasingly far-right and archaic party platform only shows how scared Republicans have become to defend their views themselves.

However, though somewhat more sophisticated than previous political scams from the right, these new Internet campaigns are a glimpse of the future of American electoral politics in the worst possible way.

As everyday technology, the Internet and Western society become more integrated, it is a safe assumption that online campaigns are going to become even more important outlets than they were in the previous elections for information on the issues and candidates American voters need to know.

Using these technologies not

to inform voters, but to maliciously and deceitfully undermine your political opponents is not only unethical, but it also undermines the American democratic process. Then again, the GOP hasn’t exactly shown any reluctance to do that either in the past, what with trying to disenfranchise millions of voters with voter ID laws.

I may not be a huge fan of the Democrats either, but at least they have the integrity to champion their own platform without attempting to impersonate members of the opposition to American voters.

While the GOP circles the drain, fighting within itself on its way down, these fake campaign websites are indicative of the new level to which the GOP has stooped in order to advance a platform its members aren’t willing to advocate themselves.

Looser gun regulations needed in public places

By PRESTON COPELAND

The Oracle (U. Of SOUTh flOrida)

Despite the recent tragedy in a Wesley Chapel cinema, Americans should still have the right to keep a gun on them — anywhere.

Policies that prohibit citizens from keeping guns in public places only harm law-abiding citizens, for the most part.

Zealots and loons who commit massacres and kill citizens randomly could care less about a public policy.

Imagine Timothy McVeigh or the Boston Bombers seeing a sign on a movie theater wall that read “NO GUNS.” Surely, they would walk on past it with their squadron of bombs and assault rifles, leaving the law-abiding citizens in the theater defenseless.

Curtis Reeves, Jr., the retired

Tampa Police captain accused of killing a man for texting in a movie wasn’t a psycho or sociopath who set out to kill people, he had served in the police force since 1966, protecting citizens, not harming them.

The sad example of Reeves’ poor choice to shoot an unarmed man should not be made into a platform for banning guns from public places. Sadly, that’s where guns are needed the most because the terrorists and loons usually choose these public places to make their malignant debut.

Reeves carried a gun with him as a retired police officer. We know that the majority of police serve, protect and keep watch over citizens. We also know that there have been a slew of deadly shootings in public places in the past few years, more than a justifiable Copyright © 2014 Texas Tech University Student Media/The Daily Toreador.

reason to carry a concealed weapon into a theater or public place.

Granted, Reeves’ intentions involved malice and should be deplored, but not without losing hindsight on the recent massacres.

Movie attendants do not carry weapons.

Sometimes movie theaters have an officer on the theater property, but when a gunman walks into your theater and opens fire, you are alone.

A gun, however, can be with you everywhere and protect you when others can’t.

Some movie theaters, such as the Wesley Chapel theater, have gun restrictions in place, but at the expense of a tragedy like the one last week, it is simply unsafe. A policy can only do so much in reality.

Tech graduates bring new restaurant to Lubbock

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

Lubbock has many options for students to choose from when eating off campus, but new restaurants are still moving in.

Among these new restaurants is Pita Pit, which opened Saturday.

Max Bhakta, who graduated from Texas Tech in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in media and communications, decided to bring the franchise to Lubbock.

“My business partner Udaya and I were talking,” he said, “and we wanted to open something where we were both from. We both graduated from Tech and Lubbock just felt like home to us.”

The Pita Pit franchise originat-

ed in Canada but has since spread to the United States.

According to the Pita Pit website, the staple of the menu is pita bread and it aims at being a healthy option in fast food.

“Last year I went to a Pita Pit located near Houston,” Bhakta said.

“The whole experience was great. It had great food, great people and the atmosphere was just really nice.”

While the opening of Pita Pit marks a new option for the residents of Lubbock, it is not the only new restaurant to open recently.

La Madeleine opened the week of Feb. 3, and David Deason, former president of the Lubbock Restaurant Association, said this is a time of change for the city.

“A lot of new restaurants that

weren’t here before are opening up now,” he said. “This is great for the consumer because they have more options, but this boom often hurts the operators of restaurants.”

New restaurants can often mean more competition for local businesses.

Charlie Adams, associate professor in the department of Restaurant, Hotel and Institutional Management, said the financial stress of opening a restaurant should be emphasized.

“You need to have the financial capability to open a restaurant,” he said, “because you need to have your own capital to support the business until it becomes successful enough to function on its own revenue.”

Adams said time is often the most important step in gaining experience, raising capital and conducting research.

When opening a franchise, research is necessary to choose which franchise to open, Adams said.

“Before we opened our own Pita Pit, we went to several other Pita Pit locations in Texas,” Bhakta said.

“I talked to the other owners and got their input, and they gave me good information and persuaded me to open it.”

When a restaurant opened in Lubbock, its owners were invited to join the Lubbock Restaurants Association.

Larger franchises may already be a part of the larger National Restaurant Association, Deason said, but

‘Dumb Starbucks’ in Los Angeles tied to comedy duo LOS ANGELES (AP) — It was a caffeine-charged Hollywood whodunit: Just whose bright idea was the “Dumb Starbucks” coffee shop that popped up and started serving free drinks from the corner of an otherwise uncelebrated strip mall.

Film permits that show the buzz-generating shop is tied to a comedy due with a cult following might provide a clue.

Filming was authorized at the location three times in the weeks before the store opened on Friday, according to permits taken out with Film LA, a private nonprofit that issues the licenses.

The permits were billed to Abso Lutely Productions, which is run by comedy duo Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim.

Heidecker and Wareheim, commonly referred to as Tim & Eric, are known for their surrealistic brand of sketch comedy.

The duo’s free-form shows on the Cartoon Network and the lowbudget 2012 feature film “Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie”

have won them a following.

On Monday morning, a line from the store wound alongside the parking lot and up the block, with some patrons stepping out to snap pictures in front of a green awning and mermaid logo that is familiar — except that the word “Dumb” is prominently featured.

They weren’t coming for gourmet fare: Their descriptions of the coffee ranged from “horrible” to “bitter,” and one parent said his daughter complained that the hot chocolate was like water.

Instead, they are just coming to say they came, and to score a white paper cup with a sticker bearing the curious logo.

“It was a pretty dumb idea to come out in the cold” and wait for nearly two hours to get a coffee, joked Anthony Solis, who lives in nearby Hollywood.

One nearby merchant said someone had been selling cups for $5 each to people who didn’t want to wait.

The store’s decor is reminiscent

of a real Starbucks, complete with a huge menu on which most of the drinks were prefaced by “dumb” (“dumb iced coffee,” ‘’dumb white chocolate mocha”). One exception was the “Wuppy Duppy Latte,” which the menu said would have sold for $6 had the store been charging anything. The cash register was dark, though the tip jar was bulging.

Dumb Starbucks opened Friday, and the buzz it generated grew over the weekend with a boost from posts on Twitter and Facebook.

That caught the attention of the real Starbucks.

In a statement, the Seattlebased coffee giant said it has no affiliation with the Dumb Starbucks.

“While we appreciate the humor, they cannot use our name, which is a protected trademark,” spokeswoman Laurel Harper said in an email.

She added that most trademark disputes are handled informally, suggesting the company might not need to take legal

action, though Starbucks had not yet succeeded in contacting those behind Dumb Starbucks.

At the front counter, a frequently asked questions sheet said the store was shielded by “parody law.”

“By adding the word ‘dumb,’ we are technically ‘making fun’ of Starbucks, which allows us to use their trademarks under a law known as ‘fair use,’” the sheet said.

It continued: “In the eyes of the law, our ‘coffee shop’ is actually an art gallery and the ‘coffee’ you’re buying is considered art. But that’s for our lawyers to worry about.”

One law professor suggested that Dumb Starbucks needed to sharpen up its legal theory.

“Fair use” can protect parodies of copyright material, but a trademark such as the logo has different protections that Dumb Starbucks may well be violating, said Mark McKenna, a trademark law expert at the University of Notre Dame.

Like others, McKenna suspects the store is a publicity stunt — but for what, he could only guess.

How Russia hits back at slights over WWII victory MOSCOW (AP) — The Sochi Winter Olympics are making Russians beam with pride. But while the opening ceremony left out World War II at the behest of international Olympic organizers, Russia’s role in defeating Nazi Germany is still one of the nation’s proudest moments, as some have found out the hard way.

Perceived slights to Russian pride caused an independent television station to be forced off the air and the Moscow correspondent of a U.S. network to be summoned to the Foreign Ministry for an official reprimand. In the latest display of Russian displeasure, a prominent anchor on state television insinuated that U.S. Marines depicted in the war memorial near Washington looked as if they were engaged in gay sex.

Here is a look at what caused Russians to react so strongly and how the Kremlin responded: The independent television station Dozhd, or TV Rain, came under attack after asking viewers in January whether the Soviet Union should have surrendered

Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, to save the lives of the 1 million people who died during the nearly 900-day Nazi siege of the city during the war. The station quickly pulled the poll and apologized, but President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said the station had crossed a “red line.” Russian cable providers lined up to drop Dozhd from their packages and prosecutors opened an investigation.

The poll struck a nerve with Russians for whom the resistance in Leningrad exemplified the suffering and heroism of the war. But the station’s owner and editor have accused the Kremlin of using the poll to shut down Dozhd because of its critical reporting. The station has provided a platform for opposition leaders and reported on allegations of official corruption, including during Olympic preparations.

After major cable and satellite providers dropped Dozhd, its viewership has fallen from 17 million households to 2 million, according to station owner Nataliya Sindeyeva. While never

able to compete with the state channels, Dozhd has been popular with urban middle-class Russians disturbed by the corruption and growing authoritarianism under Putin.

“Owners can get involved in our meetings and the annual events we hold.”

While there are organizations that can help restaurant owners, ultimately they alone are running their businesses.

Opening a franchise can be a less risky approach when owning a restaurant, but running the branch is still up to the individual owner, Adams said.

“Before you open a restaurant, you should work under another company for five to ten years as a general manager,” Adams said.

“This allows you to be paid for

making your mistakes and you can establish a network with other professionals.”

Yuengling’s Ice Cream returns POTTSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Breyers, Ben & Jerry’s, Edy’s and Yuengling’s: Which thing is not like the others?

Trick question. They all make ice cream.

The supermarket freezer aisle got a little more crowded Monday as Yuengling — a name more associated with ale, porter and lager than vanilla, chocolate and strawberry — took its place alongside the familiar brands.

Beer drinkers up and down the East Coast know Yuengling as a 185-year-old family-owned Pennsylvania brewery whose lager flows from taps in countless bars and restaurants. What they might not realize is that Yuengling used to make ice cream, too, starting in 1920 at the dawn of Prohibition.

Now Yuengling’s Ice Cream is back after an absence of nearly 30 years, available at hundreds of stores in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware and New Jersey. Additional stores and markets could be added later.

“I was brought up with it,” said Bob Pomian, picking up a $4.99 carton of chocolate marshmallow at a store in Pottsville, a few miles away from the brewery. “If it’s the same ice cream I ate 50 years ago, then I’d be happy with it.”

This incarnation of Yuengling’s Ice Cream is a separate company with no connection to the brewery. But it has already

capitalized on that famous name.

Yuengling’s initial run of 100,000 quarts rolled off the production line ahead of schedule because of high demand, fueled by nostalgia and the popularity of the eponymous beer.

“One of the biggest things in putting a new product on the market is getting brandname recognition, which is a problem we don’t have,” said Yuengling’s Ice Cream President David Yuengling, a cousin of brewery owner Dick Yuengling and great-grandson of the man who started the original ice cream company 94 years ago. “We are really popular for not having been on the market for 30 years.”

Made by a small dairy in Tamaqua, Pa., Yuengling’s is available in 10 flavors, including black and tan (Belgian chocolate and salted caramel), an homage to the ice cream’s brewery roots.

The brewery side of the family, in fact, had no problem with a relaunch of the ice cream brand, so long as the frozen treat met expectations. They gave their blessing after trying samples of chocolate chip and mint chocolate chip.

“Needless to say, these received a thumb’s up from all of us!” Jennifer Yuengling, the eldest daughter of Dick Yuengling and a member of the brewery family’s sixth generation, said via email.

Monday’s Puzzle Solved

The Texas Tech baseball team has been preparing for its opening day game this Friday despite the below freezing temperatures in Lubbock.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock said the team has had to work out and practice indoors several times over the past week, but they have been out in the cold weather some.

“We’ve been inside the last couple of days; hit in the cage and went in the bubble and threw some bullpen,” Tadlock said. “We’re gonna brave the cold weather today, and hopefully we’re good from here on out.”

Tech sophomore pitcher Matt

Withrow said the cold weather hasn’t been as much of a hindrance to the pitching staff, and TADLOCK the pitchers have been getting their normal work in.

The Red Raiders are returning four of their top five starting pitchers from a season ago, according to a news release from Tech athletics.

The four returners combined for 70 percent of Tech’s starts in 2013.

“I’m really excited for (opening day),” Withrow said. “We look good

out there as a whole pitching staff.”

Although the majority of the Tech pitching staff has at least one year of experience, according to the release, there are 16 newcomers on the 2014 team.

Tadlock said the young players have shown a lot of good signs through practice, but they also make more mistakes that need to be fixed.

“It’s up and down usually with the young guys,” Tadlock said.

“We’re gonna keep throwing those guys out there and expect good things from them.”

Tech sophomore utility player Eric Gutierrez said because he lives in the dorms again this year, he answers a lot of the questions the new players have.

“I get to spend a lot of time with

(the young guys),” Gutierrez said.

“Whatever questions they have about the game, about coach or anything, I help them with whatever I can.”

Opening Day for the Red Raiders is at 2 p.m. this Friday against Indiana, a team that competed in the College World Series last year.

As of this past Friday, Tadlock said players were just getting to the 25 to 30 at-bat mark in the Red Raiders’ intersquad games, and hitters were still trying to find their rhythm.

“You’re not going to have all of the answers at this point,” Tadlock said, “but more than anything just find rhythm and timing from the pitching side, the defense side and swinging the bat.” ➤➤sports@dailytoreador.com

Texas Tech track and field added another distance runner to the roster with the signing of Charles Jones Jr., according to a news release from Tech athletics.

The Cardinal Ritter College Prep School product timed a career-best 1:49.96 minutes in the 800-meter run. The time establishes Jones No. 1 nationally in the event for the athletes

returning for the 2014 outdoor season.

Tech coach Wes Kittley said signing Jones is a positive sign for the Tech track and field program.

“Charles has the kind of talent and character that champions are made of,” Kittley said. “I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to have him become a Red Raider.”

Tech track and field’s 2014 recruit-

ing class now has six signees since Wednesday’s National Signing Day. The program does not see Jones as the final signee, according to the release.

It is expected that the team will have the ability to sign more studentathletes as the season goes on.

Other Tech signees to this point include sprinter Steven Champlain and four distance runners, Todd

Mickey, Wyatt Kieler, Alyssa Weaver and Jared Mayoral.

Champlain earned a top-three ranking in the state by the end of the 2013 outdoor season with a season-best time of 46.92 seconds in the 400-meter dash, which gave him runner-up at the Texas State Championships. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com

White House praises gay Mo. player’s announcement WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is applauding a University of Missouri football player’s decision to announce that he is gay, with President Barack Obama’s spokesman, first lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden all portraying him as a courageous

and inspirational athlete.

Biden and the first lady took to Twitter on Monday to comment on Michael Sam, the all-American college player who declared publicly on Sunday that he is gay.

Mrs. Obama says she “couldn’t be prouder” of Sam’s courage, both on and off the field.

The tweet was signed “-mo,” which is how the White House marks messages personally sent by the first lady.

“Your courage is an inspiration to all of us,” Biden said. The message was signed “-VP,” which designates that the vice president sent it personally.

Sam could become the first openly homosexual player in the NFL. He’s scheduled to participate in the league’s weeklong scouting camp, where potential draftees are evaluated, later this month in Indianapolis. He is currently projected to be a mid-round draft pick in May.

Fan behavior crosses the line too often (AP)- Public address announcers around the country frequently tell fans before games that unsportsmanlike behavior toward athletes, coaches or officials won’t be tolerated.

Then, once the ball goes up, it is tolerated.

Universities and college conferences have policies to handle fans behaving badly. Administrators don’t want athletes taking matters into their own hands; yet, many players and coaches feel fans routinely cross the line with profanity-laced tirades, racial slurs and obscene gestures while those policies — typically threatening ejection — are rarely enforced.

Oklahoma State All-American guard Marcus Smart is suspended three games for shoving a Texas Tech fan who later apologized for his actions.

The incident shows how volatile the interaction between fans and athletes is becoming, especially with the proximity between the two.

“When you sign up to play a sport in college, you sign away whatever freedoms you thought you had coming to college,” Connecticut women’s

basketball coach Geno Auriemma said. “You can’t react like a normal human being.

“Someone says something, you can’t react. All of a sudden people, especially adults, say and can do what they want to a college kid on the floor knowing they have no recourse. They have to take it. I don’t agree with that, but that’s the world. Someone pays $20 to watch a basketball game and you can be an idiot.”

Smart’s altercation with Red Raiders fan Jeff Orr happened late in Saturday’s game after he tumbled out of bounds behind the basket after tying to block a shot. After being helped to his feet, Smart quickly turned to confront Orr and shoved him with two hands after it appeared Orr said something to him. Teammates pulled Smart away from the fans.

That same night, Oregon coach Dana Altman expressed concerns about safety after two of his staffers said an Arizona State student spit at them at halftime of the game in Tempe, Ariz.

The student had his season tickets revoked, according to the school.

In addition, Ducks guard Jason Calliste had a verbal confrontation with at least one student late in the first half. The proximity between fans and players was at issue again as Altman said it wasn’t a good situation to have visiting teams go past the student section on their way off the court there.

Coach Monty Williams of the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans said he has had things thrown at him, while Ohio State coach Thad Matta said he hopes schools will “take more of a precaution because it can get downright brutal.”

“There’s a lot of stuff that goes on in the crowd that shouldn’t go on and players and coaches have to deal with stuff they shouldn’t have to deal with, whether it’s derogatory comments or people throwing food at you,” Williams said. “... I think not just the (NBA), but all of sports, we’ve got to address the crowd interaction with players and coaches because it’s getting out of hand.”

There’s no clear answer to getting it under control, either.
