MIT campus policeman killed in campus shooting **EDITOR’S NOTE: All information regarding the MIT shooting is up-to-date as of press time at 11:24 p.m. Thursday.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Authorities say a campus police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has died from injuries in a shooting on the campus outside Boston.

Cambridge police and the Middlesex District Attorney’s office says the officer was responding to a report of a disturbance when he was shot multiple times. He later died at a hospital. His name was not immediately released.

State police spokesman Dave Procopio says the shooting took place about 10:30 p.m. outside an MIT building.

Procopio says authorities are searching for a suspect or suspects. No arrests have been made.

MIT police, Cambridge police and state police are involved in the investigation.

About 11,000 people attend the prestigious school.

The campus website said police were sweeping the campus and urged people to stay indoors.

Man charged in letters case described as troubled OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi man charged with sending ricin-laced letters to the president and other officials was described Thursday as a good father, a quiet neighbor and an entertainer who impersonated Elvis at parties. Other accounts show a man who spiraled into emotional turmoil trying to get attention for his claims of uncovering a conspiracy to sell body parts on the black market.

Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, wrote numerous Web posts over the past several years describing the event that he said “changed my life forever”: the chance discovery of body parts and organs wrapped in plastic in small refrigerator at a hospital where he worked as a janitor more than a decade ago.

He tried to talk to officials and get the word out online, but he thought he was being railroaded by the government.

Authorities say the efforts culminated in letters sent to President Barack Obama, a U.S. senator and a judge in Mississippi. “Maybe I have your attention now even if that means someone must die,” the letters read, according to an FBI affidavit.

“He is bipolar, and the only thing I can say is he wasn’t on his medicine,” his ex-wife, Laura Curtis, told The Associated Press.

Tech students, alumni share stories

By PAIGE SKINNER AND CATHERINE MCKEE THE DAILY TOREADOR

Although the explosion occurred in the small community of West, Texas, its effects have been felt in the hearts and minds of surrounding towns.

A fertilizer plant exploded at about 8 p.m.

Wednesday in West, Texas, and more than 160 people were injured, according to The Associated Press.

The explosion, which occurred at West Fertilizer Co., leveled dozens of homes in West, according to AP. As of Thursday, D.L. Wilson, a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman, said more than 100 people had been injured, but the number of deaths was not released.

Kelcey Sulak, a sophomore accounting major from Arlington, said she has family members in West.

Her great aunt was in a nursing home that collapsed, but she made it out alive and is OK. That nursing home is West Rest Haven Nursing Home, and according to AP, firstresponders evacuated 133 patients from the nursing home.

Sulak’s dad was born in West, and she said she has visited the town her entire life.

Tech organizations host debate on drug policy

By MATT DOTRAY STAFF WRITER

The issues surrounding America’s drug policy were discussed by several political student organizations during a debate Thursday.

The Texas Tech Student Democrats, Young Americans for Liberty and the Young Conservatives of Texas took part in the debate. They answered pre-determined questions about drug policy, as well as questions from the audience.

Benjamin Powell, director of the Free Market Institute, was a guest speaker and led the debate. The question of drug policy and the idea of deciding whether or not individual states have the legitimacy to legalize certain substances, he said, is overshadowed by the Controlled Substances Act, a federal law.

“The whole question here about whether we want to legalize pot or not, and what sort of effects it might have is,” Powell said, “it’s

all depending on what the federal government says. Because in the Supreme Court case, the Supreme Court upheld on a very close vote, five to four, giving the federal government authority to regulate pot.”

Americans usually think of the federalism as allowing 50 states to differ and experiment in different types of policy decisions, he said, but right now, because of the power invested to the federal government, it has a stranglehold on this policy.

When asked the question of whether or not marijuana should be legalized, all three organizations answered, “yes,” but gave different reasons to support their claim. However, when asked whether or not all drugs should be legalized, answers differed.

The Young Americans for Liberty were in support of all drugs being legalized, while the other organizations were not.

BENJAMIN POWELL, THE Free Market Institute director and debate moderator, introduces the topic during the drug policy debate Thursday in the Media and Communication building.

RIVER RELAXATION

Student Government Association is inviting students to test its barbecue skills in the first On Deck Tailgate and Smoking Guns BBQ Competition.

The event is Saturday in the C4 North Commuter Overflow Parking Lot, located across from the Rawls College of Business Administration building.

Luke Cotton, the president of SGA’s 49th Session, said students are invited to grill or smoke whatever type of meat they choose.

A panel of judges will taste the cooked meat to determine the winner of the competition.

“We’re not very strict on what kind of barbecue you’re cooking,” he said. “You know, if you have some burgers with some A1 sauce. We’re looking for the most unique tailgate food item that you can bring to the table.”

Cotton said the gates will open at 9:30 a.m. for people with smokers. Those with gas or charcoal grills can set up between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., and the tailgate begins at 3 p.m.

This is a good weekend to have this event, he said, because of the spring football game, the baseball game and the Elvis Lives concert in the City Bank Auditorium.

Search crews seek survivors, bodies after West,Texas blast WEST (AP) — Rescuers searched the smoking remnants of a Texas farm town Thursday for survivors of a thunderous fertilizer plant explosion, gingerly checking smashed houses and apartments for anyone still trapped in debris while the community awaited word on the number of dead.

Initial reports put the fatalities as high as 15, but later in the day, authorities backed away from any estimate and refused to elaborate. More than 160 people were hurt.

A breathtaking band of destruction extended for blocks around the West Fertilizer Co. in the small community of West. The blast shook the ground with the strength of a small earthquake and crumpled dozens of homes, an apartment complex, a school and a nursing home.

Its dull boom could be heard dozens of miles away from the town about 20 miles north of Waco.

Waco police Sgt. William Patrick Swanton described ongoing search-andrescue efforts as “tedious and time-con-

suming,” noting that crews had to shore up much of the wreckage before going in.

There was no indication the blast, which sent up a mushroom-shaped plume of smoke and left behind a crater, was anything other than an industrial accident, he said.

The explosion was apparently touched off by a fire, but there was no indication what sparked the blaze. The company had been cited by regulators for what appeared to be minor safety and permitting violations over the past decade.

The Wednesday night explosion rained burning embers and debris down on terrified residents. The landscape Thursday was wrapped in acrid smoke and strewn with the shattered remains of buildings, furniture and personal belongings.

Firefighter Darryl Hall choked up as he described the search.

“You’re strong through it because that’s your job. That’s what you’ve been trained to do. But you’re reminded of the tragedy and your family. And that it could

be you,” Hall said. “Then it’s a completely different story.”

While the community tended to its deep wounds, investigators awaited clearance to enter the blast zone for clues to what set off the plant’s huge stockpile of volatile chemicals.

“It’s still too hot to get in there,” said Franceska Perot, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, later adding that she wasn’t sure when her team would be able to start its investigation.

The precise death toll was uncertain.

Three to five volunteer firefighters initially were believed to be among the dead, which authorities said could number as many as 15. But the state Department of Public Safety later said the number of fatalities couldn’t be confirmed.

The Dallas Fire-Rescue Department said one of its off-duty firefighters, Capt.

Kenny Harris, was among those killed.

Harris — a 52-year-old married father of three grown sons — lived in West and had decided to lend a hand to the

volunteers battling the blaze.

The many injuries included broken bones, cuts and bruises, respiratory problems and minor burns. A few people were reported in intensive care and several more in critical condition.

First-responders evacuated 133 patients from the nursing home, some in wheelchairs. Many were dazed and panicked and did not know what happened.

William Burch and his wife, a retired Air Force nurse, entered the damaged nursing home before first-responders arrived. They searched separate wings and found residents in wheelchairs trapped in their rooms. The halls were dark, and the ceilings had collapsed. Water filled the hallways. Electrical wires hung eerily from the ceilings.

“They had Sheetrock that was on top of them. You had to remove that,” Burch said. It was “completely chaotic.”

Gov. Rick Perry called the explosion “a truly nightmare scenario for the community” and said he had been in touch with President Barack Obama, who

promised his administration’s assistance with operations on the ground.

Authorities said the plant handles both the fertilizers anhydrous ammonia and ammonium nitrate, the latter of which was used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and several other attacks, such as the first bombing attempt at the World Trade Center in 1993.

Ammonium nitrate makes big explosions, be they accidental or intentional, said Neil Donahue, professor of chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University. It is stable, but if its components are heated up sufficiently, they break apart in a runaway explosive chemical reaction, he said.

“The hotter it is, the faster the reaction will happen,” he said. “That really happens almost instantaneously, and that’s what gives the tremendous force of the explosion.”

About a half-hour before the blast, the town’s volunteer firefighters had responded to a call at the plant, Swanton said. They immediately realized the po-

tential for disaster because of the plant’s chemical stockpile and began evacuating the surrounding area.

The blast happened 20 minutes later.

The U.S. Chemical Safety Board was deploying a large investigation team to West. The ATF team that investigates all large fires and explosions was bringing fire investigators, certified explosives specialists, chemists, canines and forensic specialists. American Red Cross crews were helping evacuated residents.

Records reviewed by The Associated Press show the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration fined West Fertilizer $10,000 last summer for safety violations that included planning to transport anhydrous ammonia without a security plan. An inspector also found the plant’s ammonia tanks weren’t properly labeled.

The government accepted $5,250 after the company took what it described as corrective actions, the records show. It is not unusual for companies to negotiate lower fines with regulators.

FBI issues photos of 2 suspects in Boston Marathon bombing BOSTON (AP) — The FBI released photos and video Thursday of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing and asked for the public’s help in identifying them, zeroing in on the two men on surveillance-camera footage less than three days after the deadly attack.

The photos depict one man in a dark baseball cap and the other in a white cap worn backward. The men were seen walking one behind the other in the crowd, and the one in the white hat was seen setting down a backpack at the site of the second explosion, said Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston.

“Somebody out there knows these individuals as friends, neighbors, co-workers or family members of the suspects.

Though it may be difficult, the nation is counting on those with information to come forward and provide it to us,” DesLauriers said.

The images were released hours after President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama attended an interfaith service at a Roman Catholic cathedral in Boston to remember the three people

killed and more than 180 wounded in the twin blasts Monday at the marathon finish line.

The two men — dubbed Suspect 1 (in the dark hat) and Suspect 2 (in the white hat) — are considered armed and extremely dangerous, DesLauriers said, and people who see them should not approach them.

“Do not take any action on your own,” he warned.

The break in the investigation came just days after the attack that tore off limbs, shattered windows and raised the specter of another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. FBI photo-analysis specialists have been analyzing a mountain of surveillance footage and amateur pictures and video for clues to who carried out the attack and why.

Generally, law enforcement agencies release photos of suspects only as a last resort, when they need the public’s help in identifying or capturing someone.

Releasing photos can be a mixed bag: It can tip off a suspect and deny police the element of surprise. It can also trigger an

avalanche of tips, forcing police to waste valuable time chasing them down.

Within moments of the announcement, the FBI website crashed, perhaps because of a crush of visitors.

In the images, both men appear to be wearing dark jackets. Suspect 1 appears to be wearing a backpack. The planting of the backpack is not depicted in the video footage that was made public.

The FBI made no mention of the men’s height, weight or age range and would not discuss the men’s ethnicity.

“It would be inappropriate to comment on the ethnicity of the men because it could lead people down the wrong path potentially,” said FBI agent Greg Comcowich, a spokesman for the Boston FBI office.

The information on the first suspect was developed within a day or so before its release, DesLauriers said. Agent Daniel Curtin said the FBI did not issue the photos earlier because authorities wanted to be meticulous: “It’s important to get it right.”

At the Cathedral of the Holy Cross

earlier in the day, Obama declared to the people of Boston: “Your resolve is the greatest rebuke to whoever committed this heinous act.” He spoke in almost mocking terms of those who commit such violence.

“We finish the race, and we do that because of who we are,” the president said to applause. “And that’s what the perpetrators of such senseless violence — these small, stunted individuals who would destroy instead of build and think somehow that makes them important — that’s what they don’t understand.”

“We will find you,” he warned those behind the attack.

Seven victims remained in critical condition. Killed were 8-year-old Martin Richard of Boston, 29-year-old restaurant manager Krystle Campbell of Medford, Mass., and Lu Lingzi, a 23-year-old Boston University graduate student from China.

Video and photos recovered in the investigation are being examined and enhanced by an FBI unit called the Operational Technologies Division, said Joe DiZinno, former director of the FBI

SGA will provide food and beverages for people who choose not to compete in the competition.

“Every student loves tailgating and every student loves sports,” Cotton said. “So, why don’t we try to get the best of everything to bring the students out to these events that a lot of students don’t normally go to?”

The tailgate is non-alcoholic, and participants are encouraged to clean up after themselves.

“Despite the fact that whites engage in drug offenses at a higher rate than African Americans, African Americans are incarcerated for drug offenses at a rate that’s ten times greater than whites. The drug war alone has tremendous consequences for minorities.”

All drugs should be legalized, he said, because it is a person’s choice to decide.

Another topic discussed was whether people receiving assistance from the government, such as welfare or food stamps, should be required to take a drug test.

Raul Cevallos, a member of the Tech Student Democrats, said the good thing about that discussion is there is evidence of whether or not this idea works.

In Florida, he said, they made drug testing a requirement. Cevallos said last year, out of 4,086 people tested, 108 people failed. The taxpayers spent $118,000 on the tests, he said.

“When you calculate the money that was spent on the drug screens,” he said, “compared to the money that was saved by not giving the welfare to these 108 people, Florida ended up losing $45,780 of taxpayer money by implementing this plan.”

“I think our school spirit has kind of dropped off a little bit partly because we haven’t been winning like we used to,” Cotton said. “But I think with these new hires, we really need to get behind our teams, our fellow students here at Texas Tech, and really rally them. You know, make it fun again.”

Jonathan Silva, one of the panelists representing the Young Conservatives, said there is a big distinction between marijuana and other “hard drugs.”

“Of course there is a difference between marijuana,” Silva said, “which is a natural-grown substance. But when you’re talking about synthetic weed or manufactured drugs, of course there is a difference in, like, the effects that legalization would cost.”

In terms of marijuana, he said whether or not it should be legalized is for individual states to decide. If a state votes to legalize it, he said the federal government should acknowledge that.

Another topic discussed by the panelists was whether or not minorities have been oppressed by the drug war.

Matt Schmitto, a member of the Young Americans for Liberty, said minorities, much more than any other part of society, have been affected by drugs. That is one of the biggest costs of the drug war, he said.

“More African Americans are in prison right now than were in slavery,” Schmitto said.

lab in Quantico, Va. Investigators are looking at video frame by frame — a laborious process, though one aided by far more sophisticated facial recognition technology than is commercially available, forensic specialists said.

“When you have something that is this high-profile, they are going to use every available resource that they have,” said former Miami federal prosecutor Melissa Damian Visconti.

The investigation will probably collect about a million hours of videotape from fixed security cameras and cellphones and cameras used by spectators, said Gene Grindstaff, a scientist at Intergraph Corp., a Huntsville, Ala., company that makes video analysis software used by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.

But after years of investigating terrorist incidents and other crimes, the FBI is practiced at cataloging, categorizing and analyzing such evidence and will winnow it down dramatically, he said.

“Back in the days of 20 years ago,

“All my relatives are OK,” she said.

“My dad’s cousin did lose his house.”

Sulak said her second cousin was in a meeting when the explosion happened.

“He was actually at the KC Hall, like, the nicer Columbus Hall,” she said, “and he was in a meeting and the roof collapsed on him, but he made it out OK.” Sulak said the explosion shocked her.

“Just shocked because it’s such a small town,” she said, “and it’s, like, on CNN and everywhere and it’s surreal.”

Sulak’s dad’s friend is a volunteer firefighter, and as of Thursday morning, they had not heard any news from him.

Sulak said he was trying to put out the fire before the actual explosion.

Travis Burleson, a resident of Waco, which is 30 miles south of West, said his wife’s family lives in West.

His family did not encounter much damage, he said, but their home’s windows were blown out.

Burleson said his family is shook up emotionally, but everyone is OK. Susan Crelia, a Texas Tech alumnae and account officer with J-Hawk in Waco, said one of her co-worker’s cousins lost his home to the explosion.

“A lot of the people here in Waco have been touched by (the explosion),” she said. “They have a lot of family and friends that live out that way.”

you were lucky if you had video and it was probably of poor quality and it took a tremendous amount of enhancement.

Today you have a completely different issue,” Grindstaff said.

Investigators can set the video analysis software so that it automatically searches for certain types of objects or people matching a height and weight description. The software can also spot patterns that analysts might not notice, such as a certain car that turns up in different places, Grindstaff said.

DiZinno, who ran the FBI lab from 2007 to 2010, said any retrieved bomb components such as the pressure cookers, shrapnel and pieces of timers or wire will be closely examined for fingerprints, DNA, hairs and fibers.

The bomb components would be traced by figuring out the item’s maker, where each piece is typically purchased and whether the device resembles any bombs the FBI has seen in past attacks.

The FBI lab keeps a detailed file on past bombings, including many overseas attacks.

Another one of Crelia’s co-workers had his roof destroyed and windows blown out of his 3-year-old home.

To help support West residents, she said she donated blood at Providence Hospital in Waco on Thursday.

Before it opened, Crelia said lines formed to donate blood at the local blood donation center.

However, she said she is going to wait to donate food, clothes and money until the American Red Cross tells the public what is needed for the small community.

After the explosion, Crelia said the close-knit community in West, which has about 2,700 residents, has become more unified.

“So everybody’s affected in that community at this point,” she said.

“You know, they have family or friends and it’s a small place so everybody’s trying to, other than West, a lot (of) people here in Waco are trying to do what they can because they have friends and family out there, too. So, they’ll pull together.”

One of her friends, Crelia said ,works with the Texas Department of Aging and Disabled Services and has clients who live at the nursing home near where the explosion occurred.

Crelia said her friend told her all of her clients were unharmed, and as far as she knew, all the nursing home residents were well.

Shannon Smith, executive director of the American Red Cross Lubbock Chapter, said her chapter is on standby to help the people affected by the explosion.

“The Red Cross is always on the scene and ready for action and the Red Cross is there bringing comfort to the communities,” she said, “but as far as meeting a lot (of) needs, we’re trying to meet basic needs as far as food and blankets. We have some hygiene kits if they’ve lost everything and shampoo, toothbrush, all that stuff. But as far as using actual donor money to help them recover, we’re not there yet.”

Because the explosion is still being investigated, Red Cross must wait and watch like everyone else, Smith said.

The Lubbock chapter, she said, will most likely not be called for volunteers or supplies because the chapters surrounding West will probably have what the West residents need.

If the West area does need supplies, such as food, clothes or blood, or volunteers, Smith said Red Cross will turn to the Dallas area. ➤➤kmckee@dailytoreador.com ➤➤pskinner@dailytoreador.com

Blood battle ensues on campus

By NIKKI CULVER STAFF WRITER

First, there was battle of the bands.

Next, there was battle of the blood.

The Wall/Gates, Hulen/Clement and J.T and Margaret Talkington Residence Halls hosted their individual Battle of the Halls blood drives Thursday afternoon. Each residence hall will compete to see which complex brings in the largest donation for United Blood Services.

“We’re doing a battle of the residence halls,” Jennifer Seals, a senior donor recruitment representative from United Blood Services, said. “It’s a week-long competition between the residence halls on campus that we do each semester. The hall that collects the most units of blood is ultimately the winner.”

In the first three hours of collecting units from donors, the Wall/Gates

complex collected 17 units. Seals said the goal for the location was to collect at least 38 units.

“We try to increase the goal every semester,” she said. “The biggest thing is to give back to the community and save lives.”

Donors must be at least 16 years old and weigh at least 110 pounds, according to the United Blood Services website. Donors can return to their daily routines roughly 15 minutes after completing their donation. Individuals can safely donate blood three times a year.

Students who participated in the blood drive were asked to present photo identification and were questioned about their health and well-being before being allowed to donate. After the student donated, they were given pizza, a T-shirt and a coupon for free Chick-fil-A. “I felt fine,” Grace Raley, a junior nutrition major from Hubbard, said. “It

wasn’t bad. I mean, I’ve done this before and I ate before I came.”

David Belding, a donor care specialist, said all donor care specialists are phlebotomists. He said phlebotomists are trained to withdraw blood from patients and donors.

“Our goal is to get as much blood as we can,” he said. “All of this blood will eventually be used for transfusions.”

All of the units collected in the residence halls blood drives remain in the local area, Seals said.

According to its website, United Blood Services guarantees the safety of its donors. All materials used during donations are sterile and used only once before being properly disposed.

For those unable to participate at a specific residence hall drive, the Student Union Building and the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center also will host blood drives Friday. ➤➤nculver@dailytoreador.com

Cannes lineup celebrates world film, old favorites PARIS (AP) — The Cannes Film Festival’s 2013 lineup announced Thursday features work from some of the globe’s most dangerous locales for artists, and a sprinkling of works by old favorites including Roman Polanski, the Coen brothers and Steven Soderbergh.

Celebrating world cinema from countries with limited freedom of expression is clearly one of this year’s stories, with works from Chad, China and Iran among the 19 films competing for the Palme d’Or, one of cinema’s most coveted prizes.

“The festival is a h,ouse that shelters artists in danger,” said Cannes President Gilles Jacob, who announced the nominees Thursday.

Harking from Africa, “Grigris”

by Chadian filmmaker MahamatSaleh Haroun, will feature alongside “The Life of Adele” from FrenchTunisian director Abdellatif Kechiche. “Zulu” — a police thriller shot in South Africa and starring Forest Whitaker and Orlando Bloom — will close the festival but is not competing.

The list also includes “A Touch of Sin” by Chinese director Jia Zhangke, and “The Past” from Iranian director Asghar Farhadi, featuring Tahar Rahim and rising star Berenice Bejo who garnered attention for “The Artist.”

The Mexican narco-film “Heli” by director Amat Escalante explores how love and family ties can provide solace in the desperation stemming from drug trafficking.

Old favorite filmmakers of the festival also fared well.

Blue needs another year at Marquette

By MATT TREBBY

THE MARQUETTE TRIBUNE (MARQUETTE U.)

When in Lexington covering Marquette during the NCAA Tournament, I tweeted out a thought that Vander Blue could forgo his senior season to enter the NBA Draft. That was met by a few people saying there wasn’t a chance he would do that.

Last week, I was shocked when I heard Blue was almost certainly leaving Marquette to pursue his dreams of playing professionally. It took me a bit to figure out why he was doing it.

Blue really must not want to go through another year of college basketball. Oklahoma State’s stud point guard Marcus Smart is returning to school when he is a top-five pick in this year’s draft. He wants to go back and play another year of college basketball, and apparently Blue doesn’t. Marquette’s leading scorer from last season wants to

take a shot at playing professionally. Good for him. There’s nothing wrong with that.

No one can’t fault Blue for chasing his dream. That seems to be what thinks he is doing according to his recent tweets. There aren’t many people who don’t think Blue can play in the NBA. No one wants to necessarily see him fail, though.

Instead, people want to see him go about chasing his dream the right way. A lot of people don’t think leaving after his junior year is how he should do it.

I’m one of those people. Blue will get a chance in the NBA, and – whether in the United States or Europe – will make a comfortable living playing basketball.

His draft stock is as high as it will likely get. If Shane Larkin is seen as a first round pick this year, Blue should be thought of in the same way – Blue is seen as a point guard in the NBA, which merits the Larkin comparison. But, just

because his stock is as high as it will be doesn’t mean he should enter this year’s draft.

If you are going to be a good player in the NBA, it doesn’t matter when/if you are drafted. A team is going to give you a chance. If I was a prospect – likely as a corner-three specialist – if I don’t get drafted in the first round or the first 10 picks of the second round, I would be praying I go undrafted.

Just because you get drafted doesn’t mean you’re going to have more success than someone that goes undrafted. Granted, there aren’t always players like Wesley Matthews just waiting in the undrafted free agent pool, but being able to pick your situation is more preferable than being stuck with one team.

If Blue is being told he is going to be a first round pick, then sure, he should enter this year’s draft. If he’s not, then he needs to come back.

Puffy Paint Party to shine light on sexual assault

By NIKKI CULVER STAFF WRITER

While a woman’s shirt might be blamed for being low cut or revealing, thus opening her up for sexual assault, the members of the Clothesline Project said they use the shirt as a symbol of defiance against sexual crimes.

The Multicultural Advocates, a branch of University Student Housing, hosted a Puffy Paint Shirt Party as a part of the global Clothesline Project campaign. Students came together in the lobby of J.T. and Margaret Talkington Residence Hall to decorate T-shirts.

According to its website, the Clothesline Project was started on Cape Cod in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women. Participants decorated a shirt with a story or a theme to express their emotions. The shirts will then be hung on a clothesline to be viewed as a testimony.

“This is our puffy paint party for the Clothesline Project,” Kendra Tillberry, an interdisciplinary studies graduate student from Minneapolis, said.

“We’re making shirts that will go on the exhibit.

“The exhibit will then travel through all of the residence halls. The Clothesline Project is a worldwide campaign. The whole purpose is to bring advocacy and awareness to topics such as sexual assault.”

Eloisa McGill, an architecture graduate student from El Paso, painted her shirt to bear the words, “Love yourself no matter what.”

“I’m here because one of my friends is actually a multicultural advocate and this is one of the events that she put together,” she said. “I’m trying to see if I can express this theme in the shirt. At the moment, we’re looking at respect, and so the biggest thing about respect is that you have to love yourself no matter what. I think this is

a really good idea, especially since they’re going to display all of these shirts in all of the residence halls. I think that’s really cool so hopefully it will bring more awareness to this issue.”

With a shirt stating the message, “Light can overcome the darkness,” Seth Tracy, a higher education graduate student from Marietta, Okla., decorated his bright orange shirt.

“My shirt is talking about how light can overcome the darkness,” he said. “After sexual assault, your life is really dark, but with the help of friends and counseling, the light can come again so you can kind of experience life again.

“I mean, you’ll never be the same, but you can at least try to experience in a positive way.

There will be hope for a better tomorrow. I hope that the victims of sexual assault will see that they can come out into life again.” ➤➤nculver@dailytoreador.com

Travel association exec to lead US gambling lobby LAS VEGAS (AP) — The new head of the U.S. casino lobby is a 38-year-old with ties to the travel industry who says he will seek consensus on Internet gambling.

The American Gaming Association nominated Geoff Freeman as its new president and CEO in Las Vegas Wednesday.

Freeman comes to the gambling lobby from the U.S. Travel Association, where he has been chief operating officer. He will replace president Frank Fahrenkopf, 73, in July.

Among his priorities will be navigating the burgeoning online gambling industry.

“We’re going to have to determine if the industry can get on the same page,” he said.

Last fall, Fahrenkopf called black market Internet gambling one of the biggest threats to the industry.

The association is pushing for the legalization of online wagering, and some Las Vegas-based casino giants, including Caesars Entertainment, appear to be taking steps to cash in

on the market if and when it opens.

Fahrenkopf, who was formerly the chairman of the Republication National Committee, has served as the organization’s only president since its founding in 1995.

The lobby has been planning for his departure for two years, and he will stay on as a consultant through at least the end of 2013.

Casinos no longer are just about gambling, and its lobbyists must also understand the travel and hospitality industries, Freeman said.

“Gaming is really taking on a broader image, and that’s the image of entertainment. It includes restaurants, shows, hospitality and lodging, and gaming,” he said.

Gaming Association board chairman Richard Haddrill said the group will benefit from Freeman’s policy background and extensive network of connections in Washington.

Freeman “has the skills to build coalitions and execute grass roots campaigns,” said Haddrill, who also is chairman of Bally Technologies Inc.

SOUL SHOWCASE

KYNNZIE POLK, A sophomore business management major from Lubbock, Jordan Jackson, a freshman biology major from Houston, Bianca Martinez, a sophomore chemical engineering major from Houston, and Katie Parker, a freshman family and consumer sciences major from Austin, perform a dance routine to promote the Dancers With Soul Hip Hop Showcase on Wednesday in the Free Speech Area.

Transgender Pakistanis running for Pakistan election KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — When Bindiya Rana, a transgender candidate in Pakistan’s elections, went door to door in the Karachi slum she hopes to represent, few people seemed to care about which gender she identifies with. They were more interested in what she was going to do to combat the street crime and electricity outages in their neighborhood if elected.

For the first time in Pakistan’s history, transgender people are running as candidates. The development marks a sign of progress for transgender people in this conservative country, where they have long been met by abuse.

Transgender refers to people who present themselves to the world in a way that does not correspond with their sex at birth. In Pakistan, that usually means people born as men who now dress like women and wear makeup. They

identify as a “third gender” rather than as male or female but usually ask to be referred to by the feminine pronoun since there is no thirdgender pronoun.

Rana has always been active in her community and works at an organization that helps promote the rights of transgender people as well as street children and other social issues. But she decided to run for office as well after a Supreme Court ruling in 2011 allowed members of the transgender community to get national identity cards recognizing them as a separate identity — neither male or female — and allowing them to vote.

She’s vying for a provincial assembly seat in the May 11 national elections.

“People ask if we will win or lose in the elections. But I won when my nomination papers were submitted,” she said.

The Supreme Court’s decision didn’t explicitly say that transgender people could run for office, but by getting the identity cards and the right to vote the road was opened for them. Before the court’s decision, transgender people could get identity cards only if they identified themselves as men.

Almas Boby, president of the Pakistan Shemale Foundation, which advocates for members of the transgender community, said she knows of at least five transgender candidates taking part in the elections. Two, including Rana, are running in the southern port city of Karachi, and one each from the cities of Jehlum, Gujrat, and Sargodha in Punjab province.

“The Supreme Court of Pakistan gave us our rights. Now transgendered people are also contesting elections, and our thousands of people will vote for them,” Boby said.

“If our people manage to reach assemblies, we will get a better treatment in society,” she said.

Male and female roles are clearly defined in Pakistan, and transgender people often face harassment and abuse — even from their own families. Some are pushed out of the home when they are young and end up prostituting themselves to earn a living.

One role where they are tolerated is as dancers at weddings and other celebrations at which men and women are strictly segregated.

In between the dancing and showers of rupee notes, they must fend off groping from drunken guests.

They can also be seen begging for money in the streets, wearing female dress and makeup. Many earn money by blessing newborn babies,

which reflects a widespread belief in Pakistan and other South Asian nations that God answers the prayers of someone born underprivileged.

Rana herself faced harassment from her own family, when she started to realize at the age of 12 that she was different than the other kids around her. When she was 14, she ran away from home and found work dancing at weddings and celebrations.

Running for office — and the possibility of actually serving in office — is a way to highlight the role of transgender people in Pakistan, said many of the candidates.

“If I win, I will also become a strong voice for transgendered people, who are often victimized and humiliated,” said Lubna Lal, who is running for a Punjab provincial assembly seat in the city of Jehlum, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) from Islamabad.

“I am not worried about defeat.

I am contesting elections to prove that now we are also part of the society, and we also have equal rights,” she said.

But in many ways, the issues that the transgender candidates are most concerned with are no different from that of the average voter. Most say they want to cut unemployment, address the country’s widespread poverty and electricity blackouts and loosen the grip of Pakistan’s ruling parties on the political process.

“For me it is a jihad to contest elections, and God willing, I will win as I don’t have huge funds. All I have is the love of the people,” said another candidate, Resham. Like some transgender people in Pakistan, Resham only uses one name.

She is running for a national assembly seat from the city of Gujrat.

Tech set for KU after unsuccessful trip

By PAIGE SKINNER LA VIDA EDITOR

With a seven-game losing streak, including a loss to an NAIA team, and six of the last seven games on the road, the Red Raiders are looking forward to a home series this weekend.

Coach Tim Tadlock said the team’s spirits are still good, despite the losses.

“I think our effort has been really good for the most part,” he said.

“These guys’ attitudes have been really good, they’ve been showing up, working hard every day and ready to kind of come out of it, no doubt about it.”

With the majority of the starting lineup consisting of freshmen or sophomores, Tadlock said pitch recognition is difficult for the young team.

He said he prepares the batters by throwing breaking balls in practice, but nothing can duplicate live pitching.

As well as seeing pitches, Tadlock said young players learn more from losses.

“Young guys probably learn a little more when they get beat and when they lose and it’s a little bit more teachable moment some-

times,” he said. “I think from a pitching side, we definitely see the importance of pitching ahead. I think from an offensive side, we know we got to keep working and keep getting better and it’s a lot easier to hit in a plus count than it is in a negative count.”

Senior pitcher Jerad McCrummen said the team stays positive by looking forward.

“I mean, you just look at it as it’s baseball,” he said. “I don’t think in the history of baseball, there’s been no undefeated team, you’re going to line up every day and play good teams and the good thing about baseball is you can go either way and we’re going to try to turn things around, try to pitch better, and get some timely hits and I think that will help us out.”

Sophomore infielder Bryant Burleson said Tadlock tells the team if they work hard enough, things can turn around.

“I wouldn’t say it’s frustrating,” Burleson said about losing several games, “but it’s not a good feeling.”

Tadlock said Texas Tech will play the same game, despite being in last place in the Big 12.

“We’re not really going to start chasing anything,” he said. “What we’re going to try to do is play

good baseball every day and I think you’d do that if you were winning the league or if you’re in last in the

league, which is oddly where we are.

I mean, it’s one of those deals, if you start chasing, I think it’s really hard

Soriano, Rizzo hit homers, Cubs defeat Rangers 6-2 CHICAGO (AP) — As the first pitch approached, nobody was quite sure if Thursday’s game at Wrigley Field would be played.

The Chicago Cubs are certainly glad it was.

Alfonso Soriano hit his first home

Rizzo hit a two-run homer in the third inning estimated at 475 feet. Soriano followed with a shot that gave the Cubs a 5-0 lead against Alexi Ogando (2-1).

Soriano’s homer accounted for his first RBI of the season.
