Custer named Big 12 pitcher of week For the first time in her career at Texas Tech, senior right-handed pitcher Cara Custer earned the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week honor for her two appearances in Tech’s three-game CUSTER series against the Oklahoma State Cowgirls, according to a Tuesday Tech Athletics release.

Custer’s award marks the fifth time a pitcher on Tech’s softball team earned the award.

In her first appearance, Custer gave up one run and six hits versus Oklahoma State as Tech went on to a 9-1 run rule victory.

Custer earned her second win versus the Cowgirls Monday in 6.2 innings of relief pitching in Tech’s 8-4 win. To close out the game, Custer retired 13 of Oklahoma State’s final 14 batters.

Against Oklahoma State, Custer earned two wins, pitched one complete game and recorded a 1.66 ERA as Tech swept Oklahoma State at Cowgirl Stadium for the first time since 2007.

Custer allowed just nine hits in her 12.2 innings against the Cowgirls to amass 63 career wins.

Oklahoma struggled to put hits on the board versus Custer as the team hit for a .191 batting average when Custer stepped on the pitcher’s circle.

Custer leads the Big 12 in innings pitched at 175.1, appearances at 38 and games started at 26 as she enters Tech’s three-game weekend series against the Texas Longhorns beginning at 6 p.m. Friday at Rocky Johnson Field. ➤➤@DGaytanDT

Study links Texas quakes to nearby natural gas wells WASHINGTON (AP) — With real-time monitors, scientists have linked a swarm of small earthquakes west of Fort Worth, Texas, to nearby natural gas wells and wastewater injection.

In 84 days from November 2013 to January 2014, the area around Azle, Texas, shook with 27 magnitude 2 or greater earthquakes, while scientists at Southern Methodist University and the U.S. Geological Survey monitored the shaking. It’s an area that had no recorded quakes for 150 years on faults that “have been inactive for hundreds of millions of years,” said SMU geophysicist Matthew Hornbach.

When the volume of injections decreased significantly, so did the shaking.

The scientists concluded that removing saltwater from the wells in the gas production process and then injecting that wastewater back underground “represent the most likely cause” for the swarm of quakes, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.

Crush ‘em Tech

University organizations host recycling event on campus

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

Today, University Student Housing, Hospitality Services and the Office of Sustainability are partnering up for Crush ‘em Tech. The event is hosted at the Free Speech Area outside the Student Union building, and is aimed to encourage students to recycle any plastic water bottles they might have.

According to a Sierra Club ranking, Texas Tech is ranked 145 out of 173 schools putting forth efforts to keep a green campus.

The Sierra Club, the United States’ largest environmental organization, compiles a list of universities throughout the country and ranks them from greenest to least green, scoring each school, according to their website. Tech earned 430 out of 1,000 points in 2014, putting the campus low on sustainability efforts.

“The goal is to create awareness to our sustainability efforts,” Alan Cushman, business development manager for Hospitality Services, said. “People don’t realize the behind-the-scenes effort that we put in.”

Crush ‘em Tech is providing free Tshirts to anyone who will donate at least two empty plastic bottles to be recycled, he

said. This incentive is to create more of a reason to get students and faculty to recycle instead of trashing what they might see as garbage, he said.

Though many residence halls and dining locations on campus have recycling bins of their own and encourage students to use them, not many results are being yielded, he said. The focus is on getting people of the Tech community to recycle more.

Along with providing recycling bins, Hospitality Services has also taken the initiative to provide more tray-less facilities and encourage students to use refillable water bottles, with refill stations scattered all around the campus.

This is the fourth year Crush ‘em Tech is taking place, and Cushman said the response from the students has been positive.

They have even gone so far as to use bins that will not take up as much space, Carey Hewett, operations division manager, said.

“We usually have a really large recep-

tacle to put the bottles in, it usually fills up,” Cushman said. “We have lots of support from the campus on this.”

The event starts at 11 a.m. and is set to go on until all 1,000 T-shirts Hospitality Services has are gone, Cushman said.

In this, the Office of Sustainability and Hospitality Services both want to show students there are efforts being made to try and create a more environmentallyfriendly campus.

Hospitality Services removes Blue Bell products

By SEBASTIAN EMERY Staff Writer

Hospitality Services removed all Blue Bell Creameries products from shelves across the Texas Tech campus Tuesday in response to a voluntary recall issued by the ice cream company.

Employees began removing the products around 8 a.m. Tuesday, Alan Cushman, business development manager for Hospitality Services, said.

“We’ve actually pulled all Blue Bell products from the Hospitality Services locations across campus,” he said. “Food safety and the safety of our customers and guests are always going to be priority No. 1. Once the recall came out, we actually pulled everything this morning.”

Blue Bell voluntarily issued the recall Monday evening after two items in Brenham tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes bacteria, according to a news release by the company, which can cause fatal infections in children, elderly and people with weakened immune systems. It can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.

A healthy person who has developed an infection may experience symptoms

saves. He is also ranked 13th nationally in WHIP (walks plus hits per innings pitched) with 0.86 and 14th in hits allowed/nine innings with 5.76, according to the release.

In his three-year Tech career, Taylor is 10-8 with a 3.46 ERA and has thrown 31 scoreless outings.

After the list is narrowed down to a finalist, the winner will be announced on June 14, according to the organization’s website. ➤➤@JeremyK_DT

University department receives name change The Texas Tech College of Human Sciences has changed the name of the Department of Community, Family and Addiction Services to the Department of Community, Family and Addiction Sciences.

The name changed to show the diverse offerings of the department, according to a Tech news release.

“The word ‘sciences’ is much more broad than ‘services,’” Sterling Shumway, department chairman, said in the release. “In this academic setting, where we consider theory, practice and research, the word ‘sciences’ is much more fitting of the work our faculty, students and staff are involved in.”

The name change should be completed by the fall semester, he said in the release, as the college must gradually implement it.

The department will reorganize its institutes and centers as well as change the name, according to the release.

Within the Institute for the Study of Addiction, Recovery and Families there will be three centers, according to the release.

Professors Nicole Springer and Douglas Smith will direct the Center for Family Systems Research and Intervention.

Professor Thomas Kimball will direct the Center for Collegiate Recovery Communities, according to the release, and Professor Spencer Bradshaw will direct the Center for Addiction Recovery Research.

“At its inception, the term ‘services’ was an accurate reflection of the applied nature and intent of the department and its undergraduate degree,” Linda Hoover, dean of the College of Human Sciences, said.

“However, since that time the department has evolved into a multi-faceted department that also contributes important research findings to the disciplines represented in that department.”

The college will host an open house from 3 to 6 p.m. Friday in the Human Sciences building to showcase remodeled laboratories and clinics, according to the release.

Staff Writer

Michelle Pantoya, the J.W. Wright Regents chair and professor of mechanical engineering, and co-author Emily Hunt, a Texas Tech alumni and professor at West Texas A&M, have published a children’s book called “Engineering in Space: Adventures of an Astronaut Engineer.”

The book is based on the realworld experience of Al Sacco Jr., dean of the Edward E. Whitacre College of Engineering, Pantoya said.

“Our motivation was to capture their interest in space by talking

book, in addition to three previous books aimed at children, because they realized children have no idea what an engineer does, Pantoya said.

The book is an introduction to engineering for children, presenting engineering in a fun way that will capture their interest, Hunt said, and it gives them base knowledge about what an engineer does in a non-traditional form.

“This book is unique in the sense that we got to use the experiences of a real astronaut and engineer who went to space,” she said, “and serves in a way to make his experience relevant and expose it to children to help them see not only what an astronaut does but what an engineer does as well.”

Pantoya said she and Hunt believe in teaching young children what engineering is, because if they do not know at young ages, they may never choose to go into the profession.

The book creates a connection between children and the field of engineering, Hunt said.

“National education research has shown that children start to develop their career identity at a very young age, even around first or second grade,” she said. “With engineering, there has not been enough information provided for children to start to think about a career as an engineer.”

The two professors plan to focus on a fourth-grade reading level, Pantoya said, and they want to create a graphic novel to appeal to a young audience.

Hunt and Pantoya have already begun planning their next publication, which Pantoya said will be about camouflage and octopi.

“It is in the illustration stage. I am very excited about this,” Pantoya said. “The way an octopus changes color and texture has a lot to do with heat transfer, which is my specialty. I have a feeling this is going to be my all-time favorite book that we’ve written.” ➤➤@DailyToreador

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — One of NASA’s crowning glories, the Hubble Space Telescope, marks its 25th anniversary this week.

With 1 million-plus observations, including those of some of the farthest and oldest galaxies ever beheld by humanity, no man-made satellite has touched as many minds or hearts as Hubble.

NASA is celebrating Friday’s

anniversary with ceremonies this week at the Smithsonian Institution and Newseum in Washington.

“Hubble has become part of our culture — very much,” said NASA’s science mission chief, John Grunsfeld, a former astronaut who flew on the final three Hubble repair missions.

A BLURRY START A full decade in the making,

Hubble rocketed into orbit on April 24, 1990, aboard space shuttle Discovery.

NASA wanted an observatory free of the atmosphere’s distortion and, in some cases, absorption of light. Stars, for example, do not appear to twinkle when seen from space. The telescope was named for American astronomer Edwin Hubble, who in the 1920s determined that the

universe is expanding.

Sky-high excitement turned into bottomless agony when it quickly became apparent that the telescope’s primary mirror had been botched during manufacturing, resulting in blurry eyesight.

Three years later, with NASA’s reputation and entire future on the line, a team of astronauts managed to restore Hubble’s promised vision with replacement parts.

Tech faculty, students use Skype for communication

By MARIA CORTE Staff Writer

Communication is one of the most important aspects of human interaction, and it plays an essential role in college life.

Skype is an application software able to facilitate that. It is a tool to help college students and faculty communicate specifically through video chat and online calls, according to the Skype Technologies website. However, over the years the application has expanded to promote different functions, like online courses, businesses and other forms of social interaction.

As a result of Skype’s prevalence, Texas Tech’s faculty, students and programs have begun adapting to the new form of telecommunication.

Carla Burrus, the international teaching assistant workshop coordinator, also coordinates the Skype interview assessment procedure.

As a coordinator of the interviews, Burrus said she interacts with

international students who have been awarded a position as an International Teaching Assistant and are eligible for a Skype interview.

The Skype Interview Assessment Procedures help determine the future Teaching Assistants’ English proficiency and their fulfillment of the language requirements, she said.

“Through using Skype, they get to stay in their country, whereas if they were to take the workshop, they would have to stay three weeks,” Burrus said. “These interviews take a group of students with a higher proficiency level, and helps keep them from having to stay those extra weeks. Skype has been greatly beneficial in that regard, because it is face to face, it is live and there is dialogue which gives an interviewlike effect.”

The use of Skype assessments has proven to be more cost effective for the university, Burrus said. Since the university funds the workshop instructors, hous-

ing and meals during the summer workshop for teaching assistants, being able to do Skype assessments helps lessen the expenses on the university’s funding.

“I’ve been able to work with Skype from both an interview and academic standpoint,” Jack Labriola, a graduate student studying English and a part-time instructor, said. “I’ve had multiple interviews through Skype for internship positions, and I’ve also been able to

work freelance in technical writing through it. Interviews are so much easier when you can put a face to the name versus a phone interview or simply writing a resume.”

As far as academics, hybrid and distance courses utilize Skype the most, Labriola said. In Skype classrooms within his graduate level courses at Tech, the rooms are set up to be “Skype friendly” and make it easier to interact with online students and those physically in

the classroom.

“I think it is much more effective to be able to interact with people, but that depends on an individual’s preference. For me, the closest you can get is face to face interaction and collaboration,” Labriola said. “It often depends on the professor and what they believe can be used in an effective way.

From my own pedagogical standpoint, video interaction is a better way to conduct a class.”

Through the use of video webcasting in an academic course, students and faculty are also able to use Chatbox, instant messaging and share files.

“Skype has been our best sensory connection or mode of communication,” Donald Torrence, a junior mechanical engineering major from Houston, said. “It helps alleviate the distance more so than phone calls or even texting.”

Torrence is currently in a longdistance relationship with his girlfriend from Colorado. Having Skype has helped them to grow and spend time together despite the distance.

“The ability to be able to hear, see and share things together has made dealing with the distance so much easier,” Torrence said. “It eases the pain of distance, because it makes me forget about it. It is the closest thing at this point to feeling like we are together than any other form of communication.” ➤➤@TheDT_LaVida

Honors College reaches out to Bayless Elementary School

By KRISTEN BARTON La Vida editor

Less than five miles away from Texas Tech is Bayless Elementary School, a lowsocioeconomic school the Honors College has adopted. The college’s most recent effort to improve the school is with its school supplies drive.

Megan Conley, one of the staff advisers for the Bayless board, said when the Honors College originally started reaching out to Bayless they were surprised at the state of the school. When the college volunteered around Christmas they donated hygiene products.

The Honors College also has 54 student mentors who volunteer at the school, Conley said. Through this program, the school has seen growth.

Events like these are put on to convince more of the campus efforts need to taken, Cushman said. There needs to be more than one department putting in effort, and that’s the message Crush ‘em Tech is trying to spread.

Cushman said he hopes Tech will be a campus known for trying to be more environmentally friendly in the near future.

“Anything is possible, you know we try to be more in-tuned to the needs of our students, and it’s their support and drive that helps,” he said. “There’s more of a demand to be sustainable, and hopefully soon we can be one of the leaders in West Texas.”

➤➤@MichaelCantuDT

“This school used to be more affluent or uppermiddle,” Stacy Poteet, an adviser for the Bayless board, said.

CONLEY “That definitely isn’t the case anymore.”

The college wants to give the school as many school supplies as it can, Conley said. The school has a great need for the supplies and should not have to worry about having pencils and paper for the students.

Poteet said if it were not for this drive, some of these students would not have any supplies for school. The college is collecting everything it can to help the school.

This year the drive was hosted during the second semester of school so donations could

be given to the students prior to the start of the next academic year, Conley said. Every little bit helps, even donations teachers can use.

“That’s one thing I think we take for granted sometimes as teachers, often times in the schools that don’t have the socioeconomic issues that those teachers at Bayless do, have support for parents,” Poteet said. “They’re often times spending money out of their own pocket to buy the supplies they need, so we want to be able to give them new goodies too.”

Overwhelmingly the Honors College has embraced this project, from students to faculty and staff, Poteet said. The college is also having a contest for its students to provide an incentive for people to make donations.

Conley said the Honors College encourages other student organizations to make donations. If a student wants to be a mentor, the Honors College can help put that student in contact with the volunteer coordinator at Bayless Elementary.

“There are 750 students at Bayless,” Poteet said. “The need is great.”

Donations can be dropped off in McClellan Hall or the lobby of Gordon Hall until the last day of classes, Conley said.

If someone wants to make a donation outside of business hours or have a large donation, accommodations can be made. ➤➤@KristenBartonDT

L

a t e l y, m a n y p e o p l e have been discussing who is the best candidate for either party in the election. Many who I’ve been looking at, including Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and a few others, have similar qualifications. The interesting dynamic of the Republican side of the election this season is how many of the candidates are not lawyers. Interestingly enough, two of the probable candidates in the GOP runoff are actually doctors.

One of these candidates, Dr. Ben Carson, is a celebrated neurosurgeon who grew up in the inner-city section of Detroit.

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica website, he was the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins attached at the back of the head and has been influential in plastic surgery and neurosurgery. He is a favorite of many non-establishment people on the right wing of politics.

Another candidate is Dr. Rand Paul, an ophthalmologist, son of Dr. Ron Paul. Rand Paul, due in many ways to his father’s influence, leans more libertarian in his political views. At the basic level, this means he wants the government out of people’s lives wherever possible. He often has disagreements with established GOP members and even Tea Party members in his efforts to minimize government intrusion in people’s lives. He is currently the most probable candidate for the 2016 GOP primary nomination, though with how divided current opinions on the subject are, that’s not worth much.

This election is also drawing a great amount of non-lawyers into the field who have not declared their intent to run yet.

One of these is former HewlettPackard CEO Carly Fiorina.

She is making a substantive amount of noise in the GOP camp for many reasons.

One of her more recent and provocative points was about gender pay inequality and the reasons behind it. She pointed to seniority pay system as a culprit for the unequal pay, since women often take time out of their professional lives to have and raise children.

Women come back into the workforce at the same merit but lower seniority than their male counterparts who have been working the entire time.

Fiorina suggested working to eliminate seniority pay scales to base pay completely off of merit, which would be truly equal for everyone based on their qualifications.

On the democrat side, the two most likely candidates have many things in common; both are in their 60s. Hillary Clinton is a lawyer, and Elizabeth Warren taught at Harvard Law School. Both are vocal about income inequality.

Clinton has a net worth, according to her last disclosure, reported by The Washington Post, of between $5 million and $25 million. No one really knows for certain how much Clinton is worth because of how secretive she is about virtually everything.

John Bowles From those few tax returns that have been disclosed, it is estimated, by The Washington Post, the combined Clinton income from 2001 to 2012 was at least $136.5 million. She was also recently caught in a lie regarding a claim about all of her grandparents being immigrants. There are still ongoing disagreements between various media sources over whether the falsehood was intentional or not.

There has also been a recent outrage about pictures and videos on t h e I n t e rnet of her campaign van parking in a handicapped spot in front of a cafe.

Elizab e t h Wa rren has made a name for herself attacking Wall Street, the banking industry and advocating for increased governmental regulations across the board. Her net worth, as reported by CNN website, is between $3.7 million and $10 million. Her home is in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is to be assessed at $1.9 million, according to the website.

According to The Washington Post, Warren has repeatedly claimed to be Native American, first listing herself as such in the Association of American Law Schools Directory of Faculty in 1986. Harvard University used her supposed heritage as proof of diversity. Though Warren has claimed Cherokee

and Delaware heritage, she has not produced any documents to the Cherokee groups who have demanded them, according to The Washington Post.

Both candidates advocate for virtually the same issues across the political spectrum, only differing slightly on which they choose to focus on. However, of the two women, Clinton has scandals running all the way back to her position in the Watergate investigation, from which she was fired. Reuters has pointed out the issues her connections to oil and gas interests cause, and even staunchly progressive new media such as Mother Jones like to point out her connections to the globalization and export of fracking.

According to The Wa s h i n g ton Post, there are as many as 23 names on the lists of potential GOP candidates from a huge assortment of backgrounds, both occupational and cultural. Many of them are relatively close in the polls at this point, and there are many with a serious shot at the nomination.

The Democrats, conversely, seem to only have two serious contenders they are really talking about: Clinton and Warren.

Poetry can take on various forms.

Metaphors are a large part of poetry, and they exist in everyday surroundings.

Commercial ads have taken new and innovative approaches for marketing their products, according to the Creative Bloq website.

One particular ad making use of metaphors is Honda’s latest ad campaign, “Inner Beauty.”

T h i s campaign essentially aims to highlight what is inside the car rather than the surface beauty, which is what most car ads focus on when creating their marketing.

The use of the metaphors is targeted to demanding audiences, encouraging them to think beyond surface beauty and instead focus on the specifics of what is inside the car being advertised.

Poetry can also exist within the words and language each and every person speaks on a day-today basis.

When you send a text message to your friend or tell a loved one how much you miss them, the text content may be easily translated into a poem. This form of art can even exist through social media memes or GIFs or even the headline of people’s accounts.

Reading poetry is one thing, but understanding it and appreciating it is an entirely different element. Many people argue poetry is too confusing to understand or does not make sense, but by reading more and more poetry, one can easily adapt and learn how to understand the poetic context.

There is even “Slam Poetry,” which is spoken poetry, giving audiences an auditory sensational experience and visual performance.

According to the website Poets. org, “it is often highly politicized, drawing upon racial, economic and gender injustices as well as current events for subject matter.”

Students who do not typically read or listen to poetry are missing out on an art that allows an individual to connect with others on a wide variety of levels.

A poem consists of textual words brought to life through understanding images and senses of emotion being portrayed. Any person able to understand the art can enjoy poetry.

Poetry is not dead nor is it disappearing, instead people are choosing not to acknowledge its existence.

All individuals need to at least make an attempt to read poetry or even make the effort to write their own poetry.

Of course, like many cases, this art form is not for everyone, but given the chance it just might inspire your next big idea.

“

M

any people have forgotten about an immaculate art — poetry. Poetry, regardless of what people will lead you to believe, is not dead.

Poetry gives readers the opportunity to gain insight on the artful language, dialect and use of the five senses represented through images and language, thus offering each reader his or her own personal digest.

The technology age has caused many to forget how beautiful writing can be for those who indulge in it and how often it is taken for granted.

Poets use words to express their feelings and emotions or even to share their story, which can all be related to their readers.

To me, it is highly confusing and almost hard to believe that some people are under the impression poetry is slowly disappearing from society today.

Individuals who do believe this to be true are not looking in the right places and are choosing to ignore the poetry surrounding their everyday lives. In fact, living in this world run by technology has allowed poetry to become readily available in the palms of all who make an effort to seek it.

Websites such as Poetry.org publish works by past and current poets, allowing everyone’s work

Lady Raiders set for Big 12 Championships

By BRANDON SOLIZ Staff Writer

The No. 16 Texas Tech Lady Raider tennis team will travel to Waco later this week to compete in the 2015 Big 12 Championship.

The Lady Raiders were previously ranked at No. 15, but after a loss to Texas Christian on the road, now sit at No. 16.

Tech coach Todd Petty said the defeat was tough, but it also served as a wake-up call for his team.

“We need losses like (the TCU defeat) to learn from,” Petty said.

“If we can learn the right things and how to finish sets and things that we didn’t do there, then we can do some good things.”

The new No. 16 rank is also the highest rank Tech will have going into the Big 12 Championship during Petty’s tenure.

Tech has now been ranked since Feb. 12, 2011, which is a total of 120 consecutive matches, with the past 47 of those matches being ranked in the International Tennis Association Top 25.

“I don’t think they look at a loss as the season being over. I think they see it as a new obstacle or hurdle and to get over it and move on,” Petty said.

Heading into the Big 12 tournament, senior Kenna Kilgo and sophomore Lynn Kiro picked up the honors of the Academic All-Big 12 first team.

In his seven years at Tech, coach Petty has now had 26 players receive the Academic All-Big 12 honor.

With a young team, coach Petty expressed that he is relying on Kilgo to get wins on the court and teach the younger players off the court.

At the Big 12 Championships, Petty will be playing four freshmen out of the six players participating in matches.

“If you want to have success with a team full of freshmen, you have to have a team that is willing to buy into your philosophy, and they’ve done that,” Petty said.

One of the freshmen playing for Tech is Sarah Dvorak, who is currently ranked at No. 114 in the ITA individual rankings.

“We were so close to getting the conference title, so hopefully we can

make up for it and (win at the Big 12 championships),” Dvorak said.

Dvorak and Petty both said the practice after their defeat to TCU went well and the team focused on the tasks that lie ahead for the team.

However, the Lady Raiders will not know which team they will be playing until the match between

Oklahoma and West Virginia is completed on Friday.

“Whoever comes out,” Dvorak said, “we are going to do our best against them.”

Tech will take on the winner of the match at noon Friday in Waco at the Hurd Tennis Center. ➤➤@TheDT_Sports

Multiple teams in Big 12 Conference deal with quartback competition (AP) — A host of young and inexperienced quarterbacks are hoping to help the Big 12 Conference regain some momentum after being shut out of the College Football Playoff last season.

The search for a new starter has been the talk of spring camp at a number of Big 12 schools. Only two of the10 teams have experienced starters that have the job locked down for next season.

“In this league, you’re going to have some decisions to make at (quarterback) because you’re going to get a lot of great prospects, a lot of kids that deserve playing time,” said Texas Tech Kliff Kingsbury, who won’t decide between Davis Webb and Patrick Mahomes until August.

TCU will be the presumptive favorite in the Big 12 thanks in part to senior Trevone Boykin, who blos-

somed into a star in 2014.

Baylor, the team most likely to be picked second in the preseason, will turn to junior Seth Russell to replace departing star Bryce Petty. Russell, who will inherit an offense loaded with playmakers, averaged nearly 10 yards an attempt as the backup in 2014.

Spotty quarterback play was one of the reasons the Big 12’s more storied teams, Texas and Oklahoma, failed to look like powerhouses in 2014.

Longhorns quarterback Tyrone Swoopes had his moments as a freshman last season. But he was dismal in a bowl game loss to Arkansas, throwing for just 57 yards on 25 passes.

Swoopes was pushed by redshirt freshman Jerrod Heard during spring ball. While Swoopes did what he could to hang onto the job, it appears as though Heard still has an outside shot at starting the season opener at

Notre Dame.

“It’s a great problem to have that competition. But at some point the decision has got to be made,” secondyear Texas coach Charlie Strong said.

“I don’t spend too much time wondering who it’s going to be because at the end of the day, somebody’s going to step forward.”
