Ex-Marine found guilty in death of Chris Kyle STEPHENVILLE (AP) — A former Marine was convicted Tuesday in the deaths of the “American Sniper” author and another man at a shooting range two years ago, as jurors rejected defense arguments that he was insane and suffered from psychosis.

The trial of Eddie Ray Routh has drawn intense interest, in part because of the blockbuster film based on former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle’s memoir about his four tours in Iraq.

Since prosecutors didn’t seek the death penalty in the capital murder case, the 27-year-old receives an automatic life sentence without parole in the deaths of Kyle and Kyle’s friend, Chad Littlefield.

The prosecution painted Routh as a troubled drug user who knew right from wrong, despite any mental illnesses. While trial testimony and evidence often included Routh making odd statements and referring to insanity, he also confessed several times, apologized for the crimes and tried to evade police.

Criminal law experts said the verdict hinged on whether the defense could prove Routh was insane and did not know the killings were wrong at the time they were committed. Jurors had three options: find Routh guilty of capital murder, find him not guilty, or find him not guilty by reason of insanity.

Administration visits Austin for funding

By KAITLIN BAIN Senior reporter

During each legislative session, Texas Tech’s administration travels to Austin to speak with the legislators about the university’s funding priorities.

The 84th legislative session began Jan. 13 and the regular session will end June 1, according to the Legislative Reference Library of Texas website.

This funding is important, according to the Tech System Office of Communications and Marketing website, because of the economic impact Texas institutions have on the state.

Bryan Johnston, an undeclared freshman from Houston, said he is glad the university looks for funds outside of what students pay in tuition.

“I know there are ways to raise money and I know I pay every semester,” he said, “but I’m glad it’s not just that. I mean my tuition keeps my stuff paid for, but how are we ever going to grow?”

Executive candidates discuss future plans during forum

Defying GOP, Obama vetoes Keystone XL bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Defying the Republican-run Congress, President Barack Obama rejected a bill Tuesday to approve construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, wielding his veto power for only the third time in his presidency.

Obama offered no indication of whether he’ll eventually issue a permit for the pipeline, whose construction has become a flashpoint in the U.S. debate about environmental policy and climate change. Instead, Obama sought to reassert his authority to make the decision himself, rebuffing GOP lawmakers who will control both the House and Senate for the remainder of the president’s term.

“The presidential power to veto legislation is one I take seriously,” Obama said in a brief notice delivered to the Senate. “But I also take seriously my responsibility to the American people.”

Obama vetoed the bill in private with no fanfare, in contrast to the televised ceremony Republican leaders staged earlier this month when they signed the bill and sent it to the president. House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, said Republicans were “not even close” to giving up the fight and derided the veto as a “national embarrassment.”

The move sends the politically charged issue back to Congress, where Republicans haven’t shown they can muster the two-thirds majority in both chambers needed to override Obama’s veto. North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven, the bill’s chief GOP sponsor, said Republicans are about four votes short in the Senate and need about 11 more in the House.

Presidential candidates Mitchell and Westbrook spoke about promoting campus safety and how they would work with administration to improve campus.

“We need to better educate the student body on consent,” Mitchell said.

“There shouldn’t be a place on campus where you should not feel safe.”

Education on consent is extremely important, Westbrook said, and he would implement what he learned from being on the Task Force on Greek Organization Culture if elected.

The No. 5 Texas Tech baseball team is now scheduled to begin its four-game series against Sacramento State at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at Rip Griffin Park.

The series is scheduled to continue at 3 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and 6 p.m. on Saturday. All times and dates for the games are subject to change depending on the weather.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock said the teams have to be flexible about the schedule for this weekend because players’ health is a top priority.

“We have seen the weather. We don’t want to put anybody’s team in jeopardy of getting hurt or anything like that,” he said. “So what we will do is make the best decision from there and try to get all four games in at some point.”

Food truck serves residents near Wiggins Complex

By AMY CUNNINGHAM NeWS editor

The fire in the Wiggins Complex on Friday led to the temporary closure of Sam’s Place West and other facilities in the complex.

Enrique Flores, manager of the StrEat food truck, said Hospitality Service’s mobile location will serve students breakfast, lunch and dinner each day while Sam’s Place West is closed. The truck began serving food Tuesday in the parking lot outside the Chitwood and Weymouth Residence Halls.

“We had a little disaster in our catering kitchen on Friday that damaged Sam’s West really bad,” he said.

“Until Sam’s West is able to open up and serve students again, we’re here to make sure that the students have something close by, something quick to eat.”

The food truck will be open from 7:30 to 9 a.m. for breakfast, 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch and 6 to 8 p.m. for dinner, Flores said.

The truck serves simple meals, he

said, like burgers, breakfast burritos, chicken strips and wings.

“It’s always going to be something simple and quick, something we can put out fast,” Flores said, “that’ll help the students get the food and get back inside because of this weather.”

For students living near the Wiggins Complex, the temporary closure of Sam’s Place West is problematic, Timothy Shieff, a freshman business major from Seguin, said.

It was especially inconvenient for students during the weekend before the food truck arrived, Mark Onorato, a freshman public relations major from Frisco, said. The nearest food location, the Market at Stangel/ Murdough, closes at 7 p.m., whereas Sam’s Place West is typically open from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, according to the Hospitality Services website.

“We will probably see Sam’s Place West closed until next week or the middle of next week,” Alan Cushman, manager of business development for Hospitality Services, said in a previous article in The Daily Toreador. “That’s

to make sure that everything in there is in safe operating condition for the students. We also want to make sure that when we do open up we’re able to provide the same level of customer service we normally do.”

A fire at 3 p.m. Friday led to the temporary closure of the Wiggins Complex when the ceiling caught fire in a staff-used catering kitchen, according to the article.

Students have reacted positively so far to the food truck, he said, because they do not have to walk to the Student Union building or to the Market at Stangel/Murdough to eat.

Matthew McEnaney, a freshman electronic media and communications major from Dallas, said the food truck is convenient while Sam’s Place West is closed.

“The limited menu does make it a little harder to go and actually find something that you truly enjoy,” he said. “The fact that it’s at least right outside makes it at least a somewhat decent replacement for Sam’s Place West being closed.” ➤➤@dailytoreador

University Press publishes local content

By CIARA DEVORE Staff Writer

The Texas Tech University Press focuses on printing and providing West Texas stories on a regional, national and global scale.

The Tech publishing office opened in 1971, according to the University Press website, and there are about 90 university presses in the U.S. The press publishes novels in

the fall and spring each year, Joanna Conrad, assistant director and editorin-chief of the University Press, said.

Each season, 12 to 15 books are published from different types of authors and in both print and e-book format, she said.

“We are a university press, so our mission first of all is to disseminate scholarship,” Conrad said. “We kind of feel that scholarship is not just for the people in university or academic settings but books that appeal to the

wider public. As a university, Texas Tech has a mission to not just students and faculty but also to Lubbock and the community.”

The driving purpose of the University Press is to publish books to connect the academic community to the larger Lubbock community, she said.

University Press has printed several Vietnam memoirs, Courtney Burkholder, director of the press, said.

Most of the stories have a local angle, like the book “David and Leroy,” which tells the story of a Lubbock native whose friend, also from Lubbock, died in the Vietnam War. The press publishes mainly nonfiction works, with some regionally based fiction, Jada Rankin, marketing coordinator for University Press, said.

“Just recently we published a book called ‘Broke, Not Broken’ by Broadus Spivey and Jesse Sublett that is about Homer Maxey, who is Glenna Goodacre’s father,” she said. “Back in the ‘60s, he was associated with Citizen’s National Bank here in Lubbock, and they basically bankrupted him overnight. It was a legal battle that lasted about 15 years, and he finally won.”

University Press publishes specific, discipline-focused books, Conrad said.

Recently, the press published a book by Steven Berk, the academic dean of the Tech Health Sciences Center, Rankin said.

“It’s kind of a mix of academic books because we are a university press and scholarship is important,” Conrad said, “but it’s also to bridge that and speak to some other readerships.”

In addition to books, the publishing office also prints journals and other scholar works, according to the University Press website.

The office focuses on publishing works that are relevant to Texas and West Texas especially, Rankin said, by filtering through works that pertain mainly to the Texas culture.

“Most people don’t know that we exist,” Rankin said. “I think that we’re a really great outreach for the university because everything that has the TTUP logo on it or says Texas Tech University Press, someone is holding a little piece of Texas Tech in their hands. I think that we’re the best kept secret but we don’t need to be a secret anymore.” ➤➤@dailytoreador

“I want to build off what I learned from the Greek Task Force and the It’s On Us campaign,” he said. “I want to increase safety awareness and provide more lighting around campus.”

Because Tech plans to grow to 40,000 students before 2020, Mitchell said facilities like the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center and the residence halls need to expand.

Students need to feel comfortable at Tech, he said.

The student body’s needs are important, Westbrook said, but students also need to understand Tech’s financial burdens.

“We need to accommodate administration,” he said, “and work on what they already have planned.”

Both candidates said their campaigns have worked hard and will continue to do so.

Sharp and Fisher discussed issues like the SafeRide program, parking services and how to improve the relationship between Tech and the Lubbock community.

Funding↵

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Growth is included in the research initiatives that include formula funding, higher education fund support, the Hazlewood Act and research support as a part of the priorities set forth for the system for this legislative session, according to the website.

Formula funding is dispersed based on student enrollment, according to the website, and HEF support funds infrastructure projects and maintains older facilities on campus.

The Hazlewood Act is a piece of legislation that provides funding for qualified veterans, spouses and dependent children with up to 150 hours of tuition exemption in Texas, with exceptions, according to the website.

Research support continues to fund research programs that offer opportunities to conduct research on campus, according to the website, and capital facilities funding allows for the building of projects on campus to increase enrollment and research and maintain accreditation.

“Well, I sure hope we get more funding for capital facilities,” Johnston said.

“We are currently paying hourly for a service that no one is using,” Fisher said about SafeRide. “We plan on implementing a student discount with Uber.”

Transporting students safely from destination to destination should be a priority, Fisher said.

Sharp also advocates for Uber being the primary service provider of SafeRide, he said.

“The SafeRide service not running is a disservice to the Tech students,” he said.

“We want students to know they are able to get home safe.”

Sharp wants students to be able to pay with their Tech student IDs, he said, and campus administration is already working on using the cards off campus.

Sharp also wants to improve parking services, he said.

“Our parking tickets are $25 when Lubbock’s are only $15,” he said. “I want to incentivize paying off parking tickets with community service.”

Paying off tickets with community service would increase engagement in the community, he said, thus helping Tech’s reputation with Lubbock. ➤➤For more information about the forum, visit dailytoreador.com

“My friend had to live with two other roommates this year, and he did not enjoy it very much.”

During the process, administrators from Texas institutions appear before committees in the house and the senate to discuss priorities for each institution, Doug Hensley, managing director for the Tech System Office of Communications and Marketing, said.

Then, the appropriations channel of government takes the information and makes funding decisions.

Tech System Chancellor Robert Duncan said, according to a news release, this process is especially important during this session because while funding was increased in the 2013 session, it is still lower than it was in 2003.

“We need to have a conversation with the legislature about what investment Texans will make in public higher education,” he said. “That’s what this legislative session gives us an opportunity to do.”

In addition to the Tech System’s strategic priorities, several institutions, including Texas A&M, Texas State and Tech are joining to work for priorities specific to all institutions included, according to the release.

These priorities include restoring formula funding to 2-11 rates to address significant student growth, increasing financial aid and designating funds for new facilities.

Abby Miller, a junior pre-nursing major from Austin, said she likes that the leadership from different schools is working together for this session.

“I mean, sure you get things done alone, but I think they might get more done by working together,” she said. “It’s the age-old saying your mom used to tell you, ‘Two heads are better than one.’ I sure hope it works though because I don’t have all the money to pay for my tuition and I hope the legislature knows that.”

Chris Cook, managing director for the Tech Office of Communications and Marketing, said it is hard to tell what kind of funding the university will receive at this point in the process, but it is expected there will be a positive response this session.

While increased funds are great, he said, the biggest impacts are experienced when funds are decreased.

“You know two or three sessions ago there was a decrease statewide,” Cook said. “My understanding is we don’t anticipate that this time, last time it went back up but we don’t anticipate that this time around.” ➤➤@KaitlinBainDT

Kappa Delta helps to fight child abuse

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

This Wednesday through Sunday the Kappa Delta sorority is hosting a See-Saw-Athon to raise money toward helping stop child abuse across West Texas.

“The See-Saw-Athon is where we sit out in front of the South Plains Mall with a wooden seesaw, about 10 to 12 feet long,” Kayla Wang, a junior community family and addictive services major from Dallas, said. “We ask people for donations and they buy raffle tickets for some really cool prizes.”

Children can ride the seesaw for a small donation. The focus is to make it fun for children while bringing

attention to Lubbock’s high abuse rate, Wang said.

Since 1984, Kappa Delta collegiate and alumni chapters have held Shamrock events to support the prevention of child abuse, according to the Kappa Delta website.

The See-Saw-Athon is considered a Shamrock event because it is a local fundraiser hosted by the Kappa Delta sorority, Wang said.

“We call it a Shamrock, and for this Shamrock we have a committee that I’m on,” she said. “We’ve had the same seesaw for a while, but our job is to fix it and get it ready to be ridden.”

The committee goes out to different businesses around Lubbock and asks for donations, and each

member is expected to raise money for the fundraiser as well, Wang said.

Every member of the sorority is tasked with working four-hour shifts to fix the seesaw, as well as raise at least $80 each in raffle tickets and donations, Wang said.

“The main reason we do these types of events is to raise money to prevent child abuse,” Hannah Herring, a junior exercise and sport sciences major from Snyder, said. “That is one important issue that we always keep in mind.”

Twenty percent of the proceeds go to the Prevent Child Abuse America national branch, and 80 percent stays in the community going to the Children’s Advocacy

Center in Lubbock, Wang said.

The main focus of this event is to keep the people of Lubbock aware of the high child abuse rates across the community, and do their best to prevent this abuse.

“Lubbock has the highest percentage of child abuse in Texas,” Herring said. “The campaign is to build confidence in children.”

Nationwide the campaign efforts of all Kappa Delta Sororities brings about $1.5 million to the prevention of child abuse, according to the website. The longstanding tradition brings major attention to their cause.

“The philanthropies are national, and the See-Saw-Athon has been going on since Kappa Delta was

‘American Horror Story’ actor Woolf dies after accident LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ben Woolf, an actor on “American Horror Story,” has died after being injured in a street accident, a spokesman said. He was 34.

Woolf died Monday at CedarsSinai Medical Center, publicist Zack Teperman said. Woolf’s family was at his side.

The 4-foot-4 actor was hospitalized in critical condition after he was hit by the side mirror of a passing vehicle on an LA-area street.

The motorist, who stopped at the scene Thursday night, wasn’t cited or arrested.

Woolf was a cast member on the FX show in its first season, in 2011, when he played a character called the Infantata. In the latest installment, “American Horror Story: Freak Show,” he appeared as Meep.

“He was a tremendous professional and an incredibly kind person, beloved by the ‘American Horror Story’ family,” FX and the show’s producers said in a statement.

• 20 percent of the proceeds go to the Prevent Child Abuse America national branch • 80 percent of the proceeds go to the Children’s Advocacy Center in Lubbock founded on the Tech campus,” Wang said. “It’s just been a tradition ever since then.”

Along with the See-Saw-Athon, the sorority helps local Girl Scout troops sell cookies, Wang said. These efforts help further involve them in the community.

The event is scheduled to take place Wednesday, Feb. 25, to Sunday, March 1, at the South Plains

Mall. Everyone is welcome to join, donate and partake in the events of the day, Wang said.

“Child abuse shatters loads of confidence in children, and that is the worst thing that can happen to a child,” Herring said. “This is a terrible thing that can impact a child in a lot of ways, and we are aiming to prevent that.” ➤➤@TheDT_LaVida

hen I was little, everyone would always ask me what I wanted to do when I grew up. This question was natural because I was 5 and by every standard had so much growing up to do. My little kid brain would not falter for even a second, and I would start rambling off things like a veterinarian, a doctor or a writer. The adult who asked the question would smile sweetly and tell me those were great dreams to have.

Of course, no one really believed I would ever become any of those things or the countless others I named, but I did. With every fiber of my body, I believed I would have the coolest job ever when I grew up. As I got older, my dad told me if I did well in school and went to college, there was nothing I could not do. Even though I stopped dreaming of being a doctor and some of the other careers on my list, his words kept the fire going in me and I still believed I could become whatever I wanted.

I do not know when it became so easy to question ourselves and our choices, but it seems almost inevitable today. I remember my dad telling me during my junior year of high school that I should just stay at my local university because we could afford it.

Although he was being realistic, it felt like he was telling me to give up on my dreams and accept less.

I was sad for a few months, and I resigned myself to the idea of an average life. Then a chance encounter with Texas Tech sparked the old fire in me.

I told my dad about it, and again he was realistic and asked what I even

Jennifer Romero knew about it. He got a little mad and told me I could apply, but I had to get scholarships and work hard. I do not know how I was able to make it happen, but I got everything worked out so I could come to Tech. I did not question myself, and I just knew I was supposed to come to Lubbock.

Life, especially at the moment college students are in now, is a roller coaster. We experience moments of greatness and achievement, and we never want to come down. Eventually gravity does pull us down, and it comes with a feeling of uncertainty. Things did not work out the way we planned, and we are left not knowing what to do.

Just like on a roller coaster, those highs would not be as exhilarating without the lows, and they balance each other out. You just need to have faith you can pick yourself up and continue on the path of your life.

People still ask me what I want to do when I grow up, but it is simply rephrased as, “What do you want to do after you graduate?” I can usually give them a broad answer, but when they see I have no straight path to one career I want, they give me a sympathetic look and say I have some time. This scares me. I know I’m about to be a professional out in the “real world,” but what

if I do not succeed when I get there? I get the falling feeling you get in your stomach on a roller coaster, and I do not know where my life will end up.

Why is it so easy to question yourself? The kids we used to be hardly ever questioned themselves, and all those scars and memories are proof of us being a little too fearless at times. I think we need to bring the fearless spirit we may have buried deep within ourselves back out. The world can be scary and we are just beginning to enter it, but it is also a beautiful place waiting for us to make happy lives in. The difference is in our own perspective. Not everyone believes in you now, and some people never will. One of my favorite sayings is if you need to prove someone wrong, it shows you currently think they are right. Live your life for yourself, and succeed, to have a better life for you and your loved ones. Even if you do not know where you want to end up in life and it seems impossible, have faith in yourself. You are currently working toward some dream you want, whether it is through college or some other route. You can do it. If it does not work out, that path was not the one for you.

Things may not make sense now, but everything happens for a reason. Do not let self-doubt or anything else prevent you from enjoying the one life you have to live. No life is average, and you are meant for greatness.

Lubbock community needs to adopt diversity Tech students deserve gun rights on campus

A

s this month comes to an end it is important to evaluate what February represents. Black History Month is a tribute to a group of people who have faced struggles of all sorts from the beginning of time to present day.

However, Lubbock seems to be lacking in allowing populations of diverse backgrounds to excel.

This month lacked dedications and tributes to blacks who fought for freedom and changed history forever. Honorees such as Martin Luther King Jr., Coretta Scott King and Diane Nash were portrayed in the film Selma, but their legacy went unnoticed.

Black actors such as David Oyelowo, Carmen Ejogo and Tessa Thompson each enveloped civil rights figures beautifully, yet were shunned from being noticed at the 87th Annual Academy Awards. Even the film’s director, Ava DuVernay, was ignored for her excellent work on the film.

According to an article in The Washington Times, even host Neil Patrick Harris joked about the subject, saying, “Tonight we honor Hollywood’s best and whitest.”

This absence of diversity in Hollywood has evolved from being nonexistent to unrecognizable, but Hollywood is only the beginning. This absence of diversity does not only exist in Hollywood, but everywhere, even here in Lubbock.

Last week I had the privilege of attending the Black Excellence Gala, which was hosted by Texas Tech’s Iota Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. The fraternity was able to recruit Tracy Martin, Trayvon Martin’s father, to be a keynote speaker.

When I heard Tracy Martin would be speaking I had to get myself a ticket. The reason behind my urgency was so I could hear his personal side of his son’s tragic story.

I followed every announcement I could find on media in relation to Martin’s story. When it was announced in 2013 that George Zimmerman would be acquitted for the death of Trayvon Martin, my hope for

Mark Tijerina

equality amongst all races faded, but after Tracy Martin’s speech my faith was completely resurrected.

For the city of Lubbock to have the honor of hosting Tracy Martin to come and speak as an achiever of excellence was quite exciting, but for some it was more than disappointing.

Many took to Facebook to share their hateful opinions, mostly questioning if Tracy Martin actually represented “excellence.”

One crucial thing we all seem to forget is the importance of getting to know someone before making a judgment; the Gala allowed me the opportunity to do so. Tracy Martin spoke with such eloquence that night, demonstrated great humility and was very humble when speaking at the event.

Tracy Martin discussed race issues that exist within society today, and how it is our responsibility to seek change and find unity amongst each other, regardless of race, social class or gender.

“It’s not just black lives that matter, but all lives that matter, and we shouldn’t wait until death occurs to show we care,” he said.

Tracy Martin is absolutely right.

The backlash he received for being a keynote speaker by locals was truly shocking to me. They were quick to judge him on what they perceived to be his character, but after seeing him speak in person I can attest he is truly a caring man.

He did not come to promote hate toward any one particular race nor hate for the justice system, but instead he encouraged change; a change in the way we view others and a change in the way we view ourselves today.

A call for change will be difficult, especially here in Lubbock. I feel like this town can be completely

divided amongst its locals from every direction. The east side is one area in particular that faces the most scrutiny by our community.

East Lubbock is stereotyped as “the ghetto,” yet anyone who gives that side of town a chance will know it can flourish with opportunity and change.

Trayvon Martin made it clear that companies will allow “ghetto” neighborhoods to have a liquor store on every corner, yet will do everything in their power to deny these communities self-respecting businesses today.

I feel like Lubbock has done everything to deny the east side community an opportunity to evolve judging from the differences that are there in comparison to the rest of the city, which is causing further segregation amongst race and social class. This entire town should have attended the Black Excellence Gala, and then maybe they would have learned the importance of being accepting of everyone — regardless of color or race.

Unfortunately, Lubbock has failed in its acceptance of diversity.

This is not to say everyone in Lubbock is a racist or that there is no one in Lubbock who demonstrates acceptance of diversity, but a large majority of locals stereotype the eastside community of people as being “thugs,” “hoodlums” and “criminals.”

The important issue we need to understand is an individual’s predetermined beliefs about one person or a group of people does not mirror the actual integrity of any racial or ethnic group. In reality, possessing predetermined beliefs only represents the individual’s fear and hate for that particular group of people.

Trayvon Martin explained social justice could only exist when all people share humanity and become a community of people. Hopefully, the Lubbock community can adopt this idea in order to unite all who inhabit this city, including those who represent minority groups.

Rewarding professors not always best strategy

T

he concept of rewarding teachers for good teaching or research by giving them a permanent status with the college may not be all it’s cracked up to be. There are several drawbacks to rewarding a professor that should be considered when contemplating tenure status.

According to an article by The Atlantic, “In short, the Northwestern study found that the university’s non-tenured faculty was better both at inspiring students to study a subject and at preparing them to do it. Freshmen were more likely to take an advanced course in a field, and generally earned higher grades in it, if a professor who was not tenured or on the tenure track taught their introductory class. The differences weren’t enormous, but they were noticeable and consistent across different academic departments.”

The idea is a valid one. It makes sense to reward those who go beyond the demands of being a professor, but can leave structure and boundaries to go unnoticed.

Professors become complacent, and go without performance or quality evaluations. In addition, those colleges and universities

Kendra Kimberlin

who partake in rewarding their faculty have long-term expenses to uphold.

I am certain as students, we have all had a mixture of good and bad professors from various demographic makeups — both tenured and temporary.

One thing I’ve noticed is not all tenured professors are just there to fill a spot in the classes needing to be filled. This typically translates into an uneventful and non-stimulating learning environment. This, in effect, can lead a student to lose interest in a subject they originally believed would be the basis of the career he or she wants to pursue.

Another con to consider when the tenure issue comes to mind is the lack of performance evaluations after the initial selection process. Like any other career, a person has to complete confer-

ences and training in order to keep up not only with the new procedures, but also the standards that need to be enforced in a job.

One solution that has merit is a modest rate all through the careers of professors.

“If colleges pay their professors a middle-class wage to teach year in and year out, they might just do a better job of it than faculty who focus on research and publishing,” according to the article.

Another way to think about this is the statistical analysis of the tenure system, which states only a small percentage of those that gain tenure have the lasting employment of longer than 10 years.

This precise time limit is an adequate amount of time to find the character of the potential tenured professor.

“In January 2014, median employee tenure (the point at which half of all workers had more tenure and half had less tenure) for men was 4.7 years, unchanged from January 2012. For women, median tenure in January 2014 was 4.5 years, about unchanged from January 2012. Among men, 30 percent of wage and salary workers had 10 years or more of tenure with their current employer, compared with 28 percent for women,” according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics website.

Lastly, the tenure system removes the flexibility and liquidity of an established higher educational system by stringing required expenses over the long haul. This is something a public funded institution should greatly consider.

With all the elements that go into the tenure process, we must be cautious about the number of faculty who are selected, their experience and length of service before being considered for this system of employment.

I

was going to write this column about a more philosophical subject. That is, until I came across a blog by a local activist and then a referenced article and associated cartoon in The Houston Chronicle.

What I found made me livid.

A cartoonist for The Houston Chronicle had his contribution in the form of a seemingly addled male college student with “Campus Carry” written on his holster turning in a multiple choice test with the answers shot out to a female professor.

Though I found the cartoon and its obvious stereotyping of the classic stupid, tasteless and classless redneck, it wasn’t until I read the article The Houston Chronicle ran on Campus Carry that I was filled with vitriol.

According to the article, “Allowing Concealed Handgun License holders to tote pistols on college campuses could cost tens of millions of dollars…”

Of course, seeing a new piece of data on a subject I just wrote a column on last week got my interest. I started to dig deep and looked over the Texas Senate Bill SB11. I found this bill was the evident cause for the given multi-million-dollar cost of compliance. I also looked into the state code Texas Education Code Section 37.108 that SB11 referenced. What I found was absolutely shocking.

Not a single obvious thing could truly cost that much money. Especially not anything referencing the gun lockers and gun safes the University of Texas was claiming they would need to buy if this law were passed. After searching through the fine print, I found SB11 deals with the Multihazard Emergency Operations Plan and the associated Security Audit. Section 37.108 deals with the same subject.

You, Red Raiders, are the emergency. Evidently every college student is a psychopathic ticking time bomb waiting to go off and murder everyone. Red Raiders seem pretty relaxed and mature compared to many college campuses and other students I’ve been associated with.

According to an article in The Daily Toreador, Texas Tech officials have claimed it will cost about $7 million to comply with the Campus Carry bill if it is passed. The statistic is a monetary amount set by the school administration.

“Even if we ignore the dollar amount of this unnecessary legislation, the scientific fact is that campus carry makes colleges less safe, simply because of the normal psychological development of its customers; young men and women who are generally 18 to 25 years old,” according to the Houston Chronicle article.

The writer of this article goes on to talk about students who do not have an adult brain, which is why they are irresponsible and impulsive.

Furthermore, the brain being under development until 30 years of age, as if a growing and adapting brain were some kind of hindrance to learning and acting in responsibility.

Evidently no one ever informed this writer about the age people normally join the military, and receive firearms training and government certification in them. There are young adults who run everything from anti-tank rockets to mini-guns, to driving a multi-billion-dollar submarine through the depths of the ocean like I did years ago.

John Bowles Therefore, I’m going to take this argument apart piece by piece and demonstrate exactly what these people are saying and give my opinion based on my real world experience working with, managing and training people of this evidently irresponsible and impulsive age group as society terms it.

The article quoted State Senator Brian Birdwell as saying,“It is patently absurd to suggest that additional security resources would be needed to accommodate faculty, staff or student [CHL] holders on Texas campuses. CHL holders are statistically the most law-abiding citizens in our state, and I think it is bordering on offensive to suggest that they will conduct themselves any less thoughtfully the moment they set foot inside a university building.”

While I disagree with him about this entire issue only bordering on the offensive, I do agree with the rest of what he says.

To put it simply, Texas college students are adults, and therefore should be treated as such. They aren’t going to go suddenly crazy because they have a personal protection device in their possession.

The increased cost of compliance would also hurt cancer research, according to the article.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what “fear-mongering” is. Exaggerate the issue enough so people won’t look at the facts and just blindly accept what they are told. Research is

mainly funded off of grants, which are a separate batch of money most of the time.

I’ve dealt with the logistical side of the bureaucratic morass that the federal government is, so I know how public institutions have multiple pots of money for different things. In the case of the University of Texas, non-research grant money would go toward loads of gun lockers and safes on campus.

Tech’s estimate is one less digit and about a seventh of the University of Texas’ estimate. To be compliant with all of the mentioned governmental documents, school officials need to have a plan in place to deal with hazardous situations and have security and faculty trained appropriately.

School security forces already train for mass shooting scenarios.

From personal experience, simultaneously managing multiple training programs from documentation to implementation doesn’t mean it will cost much to make a small change every once in a while.

As an individual who participated in countless security drills, it doesn’t take that much to make small modifications. I’ve done drills from repel-boarders and machine gun qualification, to detention operations and riot training. I know a bit of the topics I choose to write about.

But let’s look at this realistically.

The only place a person might need an actual firearms safe is in some of the labs on campus. A key-lock safe is not too expensive, especially if you buy in bulk.

The Red Raiders were scheduled to play their first road game of the season against Abilene Christian on Tuesday but the game was canceled due the weather.

While the canceled game allowed this week’s four-game series to start earlier, Tadlock said the team was looking forward to a road challenge.

“We like the midweek games.

I think Abilene Christian was in Edinburg (Texas) when the rain and snow came in so they couldn’t tarp their field,” Tadlock said. “If they could have tarped it, we’d probably be there playing.”

After Tech’s pitchers dominated Northern Illinois last

Sports

week in a four-game sweep, some of the pitchers will be asked to throw on less days of rest than they are used to, Tadlock said.

Senior left-handed pitcher Cameron Smith will be the Red Raiders starter in the opening day of the series.

Sophomore right-handed pitcher Ryan Moseley will work on one less day of rest than usual and will start the second game, followed by sophomore left-handed pitcher Dylan Dusek and sophomore right-handed pitcher Ty Damron in the third and fourth games.

“I think (Moseley) will be fine. He threw bullpen yesterday and should be ready to go whenever his start is,” he said.

“Cameron (Smith) is probably pitching on shorter rest than anybody, he pitched the same day Ryan (Moseley) did.”

Sacramento State enters the matchup with 6-2 record on the season after going 3-1 in last weekend’s series and also not playing a midweek game.

Last season, the Hornets won 40 games for the first time since 1991, according the Hornets Sports website.

Sacramento State is led by senior pitcher Brennan Leitao, who become the school’s alltime leader in wins and innings pitched last year. Leitao has appeared in two games this season and pitched 12 innings with a 2.25 ERA. Tadlock noted the team’s pitching talent and said beating their pitching will be key in the series.

With both team’s pitchers throwing how they want to right now, senior right-handed pitcher Corey Taylor said, being better

than the other team’s pitching can add a little motivation for his teammates.

“It gives us an edge, but the pitching staff just wants to show up every day,” Taylor said. “We are going to do what we can to keep our team in the ball game.”

Through nine games this season, sophomore outfielder Stephen Smith is hitting .300 with nine RBIs and has already drawn 13 walks.

Smith is currently the active Big 12 Conference leader in career on-base percentage at .435.

Despite going up against a better pitching team, Smith said he is not getting over-excited to face the Hornets.

“It’s still baseball. You got to play every game like it’s your last,” he said. “Just got to come ready to play.”

Bettiol earns Big 12 honors

After recording 10 hits in 13 appearances behind the plate and reaching base safely 13 times in the UTA Invitational, Texas Tech softball junior outfielder Jordan Bettiol earned the Big 12 Player of the Week award Tuesday, according to a Tech Athletics release.

In the four-game invitational, Bettiol recorded an on-base percentage of .813, a slugging percentage of .846 and contributed four stolen bases and four runs for the Red Raiders.

Bettiol, who transferred from Ne-

when Budenholzer was hired from the San Antonio Spurs. Now there is balance, with all five starters scoring in double figures.

And there is success.

The Hawks hold a big lead in the Eastern Conference, seven games ahead of Toronto before Tuesday’s games. Only West-leading Golden State has a better record.

Budenholzer smiled Tuesday when talking about players policing them-

selves when there is a “lapse” in his system.

“I think it stands out with our players when we are not moving the ball the way we expect to and the way we want to,” Budenholzer said. “They get on each other and they get frustrated and I think that’s probably one of the best signs is when we don’t move it the way we want to, the way we’re expecting of each other, it stands out.

“From an implementation stand-

point, when they start coaching themselves, when they start coaching each other, that’s a huge step and obviously we’ll keep coaching them too. But there’s nothing like hearing it from your teammate.”

It’s also clear to other coaches that Atlanta players are completely on board.

Toronto coach Dwane Casey said last week the Hawks’ commitment to ball movement is “almost like a disease that they’ve caught.”
