Obama: College graduates should reject cynical voices COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A year to the day after kicking off his victorious re-election campaign on this college campus, President Barack Obama returned to Ohio State University and told graduates that only through vigorous participation in their democracy can they right an ill-functioning government and break through relentless cynicism about the nation’s future.

“I dare you, Class of 2013, to do better. I dare you to do better,” Obama said.

In a sunbaked stadium filled with more than 57,000 students, friends and relatives, Obama lamented an American political system that gets consumed by “small things” and works for the benefit of society’s elite. He called graduates to duty to “accomplish great things,” like rebuilding a stillfeeble economy and fighting poverty and climate change.

White House ‘horrified’ hearing of Syria killings COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The White House says it is “horrified” by reports that more than 100 people were executed Thursday in a western Syrian town.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest says those responsible for serious human rights and international law violations must be held accountable.

The State Department has cited reports Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime and progovernment forces destroyed Bayda, Syria, with mortar fire, then stormed the town, executing entire families.

Officials say it targeted a shipment of advanced, Iranianmade missiles believed to be bound for Lebanon’s Hezbollah militants.

Students seek more counseling services

By CAROLYN HECK STAFF WRITER

The Texas Tech Student Counseling Center is serving more students than ever before as part of a larger, rising national trend among other universities.

According to a study completed by the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors, the number of psychological problems in college campuses has increased, along with counseling attendance because of symptoms such as anxiety and depression.

Anxiety levels have risen during the past six years, the study reported. In 2006, 34 percent of students using counseling centers cited anxiety, the study showed. By 2012, it had risen to 42 percent. Depression dropped slightly during that time, from 39 percent to 36 percent, the study reported.

The study was collected from the opinions of 400 counseling center directors, the report stated, some of whom are concerned

about the growing numbers, while others see it as a good sign.

Richard Lenox, the associate director and coordinator of clinical services at the Student Counseling Center, said he has seen a rise in students coming to the center for counseling.

It does not necessarily reflect an increase in psychological problems though, he said, but instead a decrease in the stigma of looking for help.

“I think one of the primary reasons is that there’s less and less stigma about seeking counseling services each year,” Lenox said.

The lessened stigma can be attributed to many things, he said, including a better general education about mental illnesses and a greater visibility in the media. College students also are more likely to seek help than older generations, he said.

A majority of Tech students coming into the center are reporting problems with anxiety and depression, Lenox said.

“Of course,” he said, “once we get them in the door there could be a lot of other things that’s going on, too, but in terms of what they say they’re coming in for, anxiety and depression are the primary reasons that are bringing people in.”

Lisa Viator, the assistant director and a staff psychologist at the center, said the fact students are seeking counseling for things such as anxiety proves the legitimacy and need for counseling services on campus.

“I think we definitely have seen more folks with anxiety initiating services here,” she said, “and I think what that says is that people really need that safe spot or that safe place to really learn how to calm themselves and stop their minds from racing, and feel a little bit more in control, a little bit more hopeful, less catastrophic about things.”

Some common symptoms of anxiety include a racing mind, increased worry, a need for control of everything and insomnia, or what Viator calls the “hamster

wheel of the mind.”

“A lot of people will talk about not being able to sleep at night, or fall asleep,” she said, “because when the lights are out and finally it’s quiet, that’s when the mind starts racing.”

Panic symptoms also are common with anxiety, Viator said.

“Panic disorders happen when people pretty frequently have these panic attacks,” she said, “where it feels like the heart is racing, there might be pain in the chest, you’re sweating, your limbs or fingers or toes are going numb. You feel like you’re dying.”

When experiencing a panic attack, Viator said people can try to talk themselves down.

“Just try to kind of talk to yourself about it,” she said, “in terms of, ‘I’m not going to die from this, physiological changes are normal, I will catch my breath.’ Things like that.”

Tech Chess Team hosts blindfolded exhibition

By MIKAEL GONZALES STAFF WRITER

Although he was blindfolded, it did not take long for Elshan Moradiabadi, a grandmaster chess player, to beat five fraternity players at 2 p.m. Friday in the Free Speech Area as the Texas Tech Chess Team hosted a blindfolded chess exhibition.

The event quickly gathered a large crowd as Moradiabadi was blindfolded and seated in a large black leather chair.

His arms were crossed and he seemed relaxed as he called out moves over a microphone.

James Moran, a junior finance major from Dallas, was one of the opponents Moradiabadi faced. He said he was impressed with how quickly he was beaten by the chess player.

“He whooped me pretty good,” he said. “Thirty-seven minutes later and he’s beaten everyone.”

Moran said Moradiabadi intimidated him because of how well he kept track of his moves.

“It was intimidating because you know he kept a perfect image in his mind,” he said.

Trey Modlin, an exercise and sport sciences major from Shaker Heights, Ohio, and Tech chess team member, said the event was hosted to show the ability of their best player to Tech students.

“This event was to showcase our A team member giving a blindfold exhibition for the crowd to see,” he said. “We wanted to make a name for ourselves as well.”

Modlin said the Tech Chess Team competes in a Pan American Intercol-

legiate Team Championship annually in December. This year the tournament will be hosted in Lubbock.

“That’s the largest tournament we play in,” he said.

The team competes in three different divisions for tournaments, and last year the Tech Chess Team did well, Modlin said.

“Our Division II and Division III team won their divisions,” he said. “Our A team members came in fifth place in

their division, which is really good.”

He said although Moradiabadi plays well, there is always somebody who is going to be better.

“There are people out there who are on his level,” he said.

Modlin said this does not take away from the fact that Moradiabadi is a champion.

“He’s one of the better players in the world,” he said. “In fact, he was the champion of Iran.”

Modlin said he has been playing chess since he was 4 years old and began playing tournaments when he was 7 years old.

After the event, Moradiabadi removed his blindfold and gave the crowd a quick chess lesson. He went through the individual chess boards and recalled every move he and his opponents played.

He then offered advice to the fraternity chess players on how to improve their games. ➤➤mgonzales@dailytoreador.com

Early in December 2012, Meagan Rough, a Texas Tech student, died when she was the victim of a drunken driving accident on Glenna Goodacre Boulevard.

Nearly six months later, Rough’s friends and family gathered to participate in the MayDay 5K Neon Night Run and Walk at 8 p.m. Saturday on Glenna Goodacre.

Nikki Dobbs, the aunt of Rough, said the family wanted to do something to help raise awareness against drunken driving.

“These kinds of wrecks happen on a regular basis, so many people don’t stop to think about what they are causing,” she said. “They don’t realize that

“We want to wash away all the bad memories with something good for May,” Kari Rough said. “We don’t want to stop the party. May would definitely not want that. We just want to raise awareness in hopes that people will get home safely if they do go out and drink.”

The race started on Glenna Goodacre close to the Wal-Mart and looped around the Overton Hotel, Broadway Avenue and Main Street, before ending at the spot where Meagan Rough’s accident took place, Dobbs said.

Attacks in Iraq kill 9, wound 33 attack occurred Sunday morning when a bomb went off near Zein al-Abideen mosque in the western suburbs of Baghdad. One passerby was killed, six others were wounded and the outer wall of the mosque was damaged.

Hours later, police said, gunmen stormed the house of a district mayor in Mahmoudiya town, killing the mayor and his son. Mahmoudiya is 30 kilometers (20 miles) south of Baghdad.

At night, police said that a bomb exploded near an Internet cafe in a Sunni neighborhood in western Baghdad, killing three people and wounding 13 others.

Minutes later, three people were killed and 14 others wounded when mortar shells landed on houses on the western edge of Baghdad.

Hospital officials confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on con-

dition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

Violence has ebbed in Iraq, yet insurgent attacks are still frequent.

Meanwhile, Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said that his government will continue to follow up on fake bomb detectors sold to Iraq years ago by a British businessman, according to a statement posted on the prime minister’s web site.

Al-Maliki’s comments came days after a British judge sentenced James McCormick to 10 years in jail for selling fake bomb detectors to several countries, saying the millionaire had shown a cavalier disregard for potentially fatal consequences.

Al-Maliki added that Iraqi authorities had taken the necessary measures regarding this issue a long time ago and that some of the people involved were convicted. He did not elaborate.

Lenox said he urges students who are having problems with anxiety, depression and other issues to seek help at the counseling center.

“I guess primarily if their distress is causing them problems in their day-today functioning,” he said, “especially like classes, if they’re having difficulty studying or they’re not doing as well in their classes because of their distress, that’s a huge reason to come in here.”

These issues can affect grades, social life and relationships, Lenox said. Asking for help could be the solution to a student’s troubles and make their life much easier.

“And so if we can bring those mood disorders under control,” he said, “they’re going to see a lot of improvements academically and socially, and they’re just going to feel better.”

BAGHDAD (AP) — A series of attacks including a blast near an Internet cafe in a Sunni area of Baghdad killed nine people and wounded dozens on Sunday in and around the Iraqi capital.

The attacks came amid heightened sectarian tension following a deadly security crackdown on a camp in northern Iraq run by Sunnis, protesting what they consider to be their second-class treatment by the Shiite-led government. Government investigators say the April 23 incident left 40 people dead, while a spate of follow-up attacks and battles has killed well over 200 more.

The bloodshed has raised fears that the country could be heading for a new wave of sectarian fighting like that which nearly pushed it to the brink of civil war in the middle of the last decade.

BOSTON (AP) — At least two online campaigns aimed to help David Henneberry buy a new boat after his was shot up while a Boston Marathon bombing suspect hid inside. And a handful of drives have cropped up to help the family of Martin Richard, the 8-year-old killed in the attack.

Neither recipient had anything to do with setting up those fundraisers.

That didn’t stop the sites from raising tens of thousands of dollars, while campaigns on similar “crowdfunding” sites have raised millions combined for other victims.

That’s on top of the $28 million given to The One Fund, a more traditional relief fund established by top state officials.

Such giving is the reliable flipside to tragic events, with the Internet bringing heightened levels of immediacy, publicity and generosity. But charity watchdog groups warn not all giving opportunities are equal, with online drives more prone to confusion, scams or misuse of money.

An advantage to crowdfunding sites, which essentially provide a platform for individuals to set up their own fundraising efforts, is the speed at which they can start soliciting donations. For instance, the site GoFundMe had marathon victim relief campaigns going by 10 a.m. the day after the bombings. It now hosts more than 40 individual marathon-related campaigns that have raised $2.7 million.

But that ease of setting up a fund drive means less scrutiny of the fundraisers using the sites, which may be known only by a picture and a short testimonial.

“There may be little oversight going in, in terms of how the money is actually spent, and whether it’s going to the appropriate parties,” said Bennett Weiner, chief operating officer of the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance.

Examples of fraud after tragedy are plentiful. After Hurricane Katrina the FBI found 4,000 bogus websites that stole donors’ money and personal identification.

And it raises questions when the

beneficiary of an online campaign doesn’t even know about it.

Henneberry, of Watertown, said he had “nothing, nothing, nothing” to do with any drives to raise money for a new boat.

A spokesman for the Martin family said it has approved only The Richard Family Fund, which has its own site.

The lack of an initial connection with a fundraiser doesn’t mean the money won’t eventually get to the intended recipient. A spokesman for Crowdtilt, where a campaign raised more than $50,000 for Henneberry, said they sent him the payment Friday.

And bombing victims say the sites offer a convenient way for people to directly give to their specific needs, and can be tremendously encouraging.

“My sisters and mother would read the comments (from donors) to me while I was in the hospital, and it really helped me in my recovery there,” said Brittany Loring, the beneficiary of a campaign on the GiveForward site. Loring required

three operations after her left leg was badly injured by shrapnel from the first blast.

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office is checking out fundraisers and has yet to find fraud, said spokesman Brad Puffer.

But it’s promoting vigilance.

“We simply encourage people to do their homework and give wisely,” Puffer said, Ken Berger of the watchdog group Charity Navigator prefers well-established charities or credibly backed efforts like The One Fund, founded by the governor of Massachusetts and mayor of Boston.

Such groups leave long paper trials and do robust vetting before they distribute money, he said. The tradeoff is the process takes weeks, which can be a lot less satisfying than an instant Internet donation, he said.

Berger added, “The faster you go, the greater the risk.”

Dan Borochoff, of Charity Watch, said the same emotions that spur remarkable giving are used to take advantage of people. Ultimately, Borochoff said, people are free to throw their money away, but they shouldn’t make it easy for the people trying to take it.

“Ignorant bliss is what they are going for,” he said. “If you really care, you’re going to be more responsible.”

Brad Damphousse, chief of executive of GoFundMe, said his site takes significant steps to verify campaign organizers, including checking the linked Facebook account and affirming account payment information.

He added there’s a natural social safeguard, since strangers usually won’t donate to a site until they see dollars from an organizer’s closest family and friends first.

“The earliest donors are essentially vouching for the authenticity of a given campaign,” said Damphousse, whose company charges a fee of 5 percent of each donation.

Tom Teves, whose oldest son, Alex, was one of 12 killed during the 2012 movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colo., said raising money is an irrelevancy to someone in the midst of grief. But he and other family members of mass murder victims are pushing a National Compassion Fund, which he described as similar to The One Fund, to increase equity and transparency for victims.

Having a primary entity collecting and distributing money transparently can simplify things for people going through the unthinkable.

Aldean rocked house, but Owen stole show W

ith just enough rock ‘n’ roll, guitars and drums, and just enough country, ballads and drinking references, Jason Aldean and friends rocked the United Spirit Arena on Saturday night.

Opening his show was country music-newcomer Thomas Rhett and “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” singer Jake Owen.

As the crowd filed into the USA, Rhett made sure not to go unnoticed.

As he swiveled his hips in an almost-Elvis Presley fashion, Rhett made the crowd stand up and sing along to his song, “Front Porch Junkies.”

After Rhett performed about five songs, including his latest single, “Beer with Jesus,” he informed the audience Owen would soon be out to perform and serenade the women of the crowd.

And Owen did just that.

During one song, Owen walked into the stands, passing hundreds of screaming and surprised fans.

Two of those shocked audience members were sophomores at Coronado High School, Peyton Sifrit and Emily Ladd.

“It was surreal,” Ladd said about Owen being inches away from her.

Documenting Owen’s every move with her smartphone, Sifrit said her social media was immediately updated.

“I sent it to everyone,” she said with a smile.

And those two high school fan-girls weren’t the only ones who got a second with the long-haired country singer.

One newlywed couple was called up on stage after displaying a homemade sign stating an Owen single was played at their wedding.

The couple, who both were sporting University of Texas gear,

Paige Skinner were booed by the Lubbock crowd.

But Owen quickly quieted the booers by uniting everyone, saying all were there because they were fans of country music.

The woman, who was visibly and audibly crying, enjoyed a slow dance with Owen while he sang “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You.” Owen stole the show with antics such as surfacing from under the stage, drinking an audience member’s beer, changing his lyrics to fit the Lubbock setting and signing autographs while performing — all before closing his set with the fast-paced “Eight Second Ride.”

After Owen, headliner Aldean made his long-awaited appearance.

Aldean covered all areas of the stage, singing to all sides of the USA. He rocked old and new hits, including “She’s Country,” “Dirt Road Anthem” and “Night Train,” while the crowd danced and sipped on cold beer.

“Dirt Road Anthem” and the line, “Laid back swerving like I’m George Jones,” was sung by Aldean without a glitch or mention of the country music legend. Rest in peace, George Jones.

When it came time to perform “Don’t You Wanna Stay,” a duet with Kelly Clarkson, technology worked its magic, as a hologram of Clarkson appeared on the left side of the stage and wowed the crowd as they snapped photos and recorded videos.

And despite his recent personal life troubles, including infidelity

with a former “American Idol” contestant and divorcing his wife of 12 years on April 26, 10,158 people still came to hear Aldean sing about partying, love and heartache.

Two of those thousands included Alen and Sharon Mote, who said they were there for Aldean and a good time. They said the press surrounding Aldean had no affect on his music.

There was no mention or hint of personal life troubles from Aldean, though his wedding ring was visibly off and he displayed a certain sadness in his eyes — almost like he hadn’t slept in days.

But like the Motes, Ladd agreed that his personal life doesn’t affect her view of the country singer.

“His music is great,” she said, “and I don’t think he should be judged about his doings.”

Will Downey suit up again after $175M ‘IM3’ haul?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Iron Man reigns as the standard-bearer of Hollywood superheroes with a $175.3 million domestic opening weekend for his latest sequel and an overseas haul of a half-billion dollars in less than two weeks.

According to studio estimates Sunday, “Iron Man 3” has raced to a worldwide total of $680.1 million.

That includes $175.9 million in its second weekend overseas, where the film has rung up $504.8 million so far.

No other solo superhero — not even Batman or Spider-Man — has managed this kind of business.

Yet the future of Marvel Studios’ flagship franchise is in the hands of a mortal man with no metal armor, gadgets or special powers, other than his ability to rebound from Hollywood pariah to hottest star on the planet.

“Iron Man 3” hints that Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark might hang up his high-tech suits and live a normal life from now on. As the centerpiece behind not only the “Iron Man” flicks but also Marvel’s superhero ensemble “The Avengers,” Downey seems crucial to this comic-book world.

Could Disney’s Marvel Studios conjure anywhere near the same magic if it relaunched “Iron Man” with another actor? Without Downey, would the upcoming “Avengers” sequel have quite the same appeal as last year’s record-grossing first installment?

“Your guess is as good as mine,” said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney. “Marvel has found a way to tell interesting stories with a variety of characters over time, and it will continue to do so.”

“Iron Man 3” had the secondbiggest domestic debut ever, behind the $207.4 million start over the same weekend last year for “The Avengers,” which teamed Downey’s Stark with other Marvel Comics heroes. The new sequel surpassed the $169.2 million opening for 2011’s “Harry Potter” finale, the previous second-place debut.

In just nine days, the film shot past the $312 million international total for “Iron Man 2” in its entire theatrical run.

Among the overseas totals so far: $63.5 million in China, $42.6 million in South Korea, $38.3 million in Great Britain and $35.8 million in Mexico.

Domestically, “Iron Man 3” far outpaced the franchise’s first two movies.

$98.6 million domestic debut in 2008, while 2010’s “Iron Man 2” opened with $128.1 million.

The film also opened higher than last year’s Batman finale “The Dark Knight Rises” ($160.9 million) and the biggest of the Spider-Man movies ($151.1 million for “Spider-Man 3”).

If Downey doesn’t sign on for more, it would leave a gaping hole in the expanding superhero universe Marvel is taking to the big-screen.

“I honestly don’t know how you can go on with that character without Downey,” said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst with box-office tracker Hollywood.com. “I think he’s as important to this franchise and to Marvel as any actor is to any character.”

Downey seems just as vital to “The Avengers.” That ensemble probably could thrive without him, given how the first film and previous solo superhero adventures have established a

team that includes Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Chris Evans’ Captain America, Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk.

But without Downey, Marvel might have to settle for something less than the colossal $1.5 billion worldwide results for “The Avengers.”

“He’s the spark that ignites all those characters, it seems,” Dergarabedian said. “He’s the lead guitarist, and they’re just all kind of following him.”

Before convincing reluctant Marvel executives that he was the man to put on the metal suit, Downey still was trying to live down drug addiction and jail time in his 20s and 30s that nearly ruined his career.

Opinions

Political views important, empowering I

started working at The Daily Toreador as an opinions columnist as a freshman in fall 2010. I had been fascinated with politics and the ins and outs of different ideologies, particularly that of Karl Marx, in high school. As you might expect, growing up and going to high school in Lubbock being a nerdy and liberal wasn’t exactly the greatest time in the world.

Nevertheless, when I began writing columns for The DT, it was partially — as those on the Internet would say — to “troll” conservatives and Republicans in the Texas Tech community.

More than that, though, it was mostly to provide an alternative perspective on politics and news to an area that I had grown-up to see was dominated by the white, conservative Christian worldview.

I’ve received a lot of positive feedback and thanks from

Jakob Reynolds those who have agreed with what I’ve had to say, as well as a lot of negative feedback from those who haven’t. Through it all, however, I’ve come to realize the real reason I write so avidly about politics and the goings-on in the world is to encourage young people like myself to think about what is happening in our nation’s government.

It has always astonished me how little members of my generation seem to think about these issues. It has never been an infrequent occurrence that one will be in a classroom or talking with

friends about the news or related topics and hear “I don’t really care about politics,” “They’re boring,” or something to that effect.

This is alarming because I’ve always felt politics are one of the most important things we as young people should be knowledgeable of. There are several reasons for this. For one, politics and what goes on in our government affects our lives in one way or another at some point or another. There is virtually nothing in our lives that isn’t impacted by politics in some way.

Our workplaces are affected by wages and workers’ rights legislation. Taxes, infrastructure, gun laws and financial legislation impact our neighborhoods and education. Our health is impacted by health care, environmental and food safety polices. Interracial and homosexual marriage laws even

affect our relationships with each other.

The influence of politics and government is an inevitable fact of life. What I feel a lot of our generation doesn’t seem to understand is that if one is ignorant of political issues and what’s happening in the news, it only gives others, who do participate in those areas, power over your livelihood.

Another reason participating in politics and having at least a basic grasp on the news is important, is because what happens in the world today will determine what we inherit in the future. After we graduate from college and begin our careers, we will have to deal with what the generations before us left behind, for better or worse. If we do not educate ourselves on what’s happening to our world and take a stand on it now, we are only working against

ourselves and the generations to come.

Developing a core set of political beliefs is arguably as important as religious beliefs due to the fact that having a set of beliefs is empowering. By knowing what’s going on in the world, one is giving themselves the power to do something to influence it. I write about politics because I read and listen to the news, and I hope I can have an influence in some way by getting others to think about the topics over which I’ve written and maybe take their own stand on those issues.

Of course, writing about the news is not the only way to be politically active. Young people statistically have notoriously low levels of voting. Being knowledgeable of politics gives young people the motivation and power to make educated votes that benefit our own interests.

it seems like psychological problems are being perpetuated.

This foreign idea, one that has been perpetuated by psychological abnormality, has invaded society.

How would you feel if someone you cared about was subject to this alien process?

The FBI released a report this year that it performed investigative research on interrogation techniques.

They were able to find that they have been successful with custodial interrogation techniques that are noncoercive.

There are other less harsh methods that are able to extract information that is quite valid. The issue with these techniques is that it takes a lot of time to perform. The ethical implication of torturous interrogation is also put into question.

Is it worth harming another human being to extract potentially helpful information? In most cases, I would venture to say no. Of course, there are always exceptions that have to be taken into consideration. The proper precautions must be taken given the severity of the situation.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Recently I’ve been reading about interrogation and all of its ethical implications in real life situations.

My general perception on the matter has been substantially altered.

I have learned much more about the matter such as how it is conducted and even about the information received through the process. Most of the online articles that I found pertained to the al-Qaeda prisoners associated with September 11th attack, but this information can be useful in similar problems. The problem that comes to my mind is the recent attack on the Boston marathon.

Mark A. Costanzo, a researcher of social psychology at Claremont McKenna College, says in his paper, “The Effects and Effectiveness of Using Torture as an Interrogation Device: Using Research to Inform the Policy Debate,” that “…many survivors of torture report that the truthful information they revealed was intentionally incomplete or mixed with false information.”

Apparently, the information extracted from coercive, or torturous, interrogation is not always valid and accurate. These types of interrogation sessions also prove to have prolonged psychological affects even after they are finished. This may be affecting the tortured much more than people imagine.

You also have to think that the people being tortured are still humans like you and me. They have friends and families. How would you feel if people tortured your family members, and they were left with severe psychological damage?

According to researcher Diana Taylor’s article, “Double-Blind: The Torture Case,” torture is viewed as a method that provides a rationale for humans to cross the boundaries laid down by society. This shows that even if torture was allowed, regulation of the people who performed the torture has to be conducted strictly.

The predisposed nature of a torturer being psychologically abnormal also seems to be a point that many gravitate toward. If torture causes psychological disturbances in the victim

Graduating back into my parents’ basement

BY QUINN SCAHILL

THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS COLLEGIAN (COLORADO STATE U.)

With graduation looming in the near future, I feel as if I should be excited for all the opportunities that wait for me.

But that’s just not the case.

I’m actually dreading graduation.

Just thinking of it makes me nauseous — even angry.

My future after May 18 is unknown. I try to imagine it, but my vision fills with static. Even being buried under piles of coursework right now isn’t distracting me from w h a t ’s t o come, or in my case — what’s not to come.

Everyone tells me, “Don’t worry, you’re young. You’ve got your whole life ahead of you to figure it out.”

Everyone is right, I am young and I do have my whole life ahead of me, but I’m still worried. And it’s exactly because I’m young, and I have my whole life ahead of me!

“

Freshman, sophomores and juniors can continually look towards graduation after senior year, but being a senior — it’s here, and it’s absolutely daunting trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my adult life.

Even though I’ll be a college graduate, I’ll still be relatively unemployable because I’m young, inexperienced and indecisive about what I want to do.

Plus, I’m graduating with a degree in creative writing. Even I am not naïve enough to believe that it’s going to get me a great job right out of college.

For instance, a McDonald’s in New Hampshire posted a listing for a job and it required a bachelor’s degree. It actually turns out that this was an error — no bachelor’s degree was required. Apparently a support team member at Jobdiagnosis.com incorrectly put up the listing when the educational level was defaulted to a bachelor’s degree.

Although it was a mistake, I think it says a great deal about the job

Questionable interrogation techniques create concern OLD GOLD & BLACK (WAKE FOREST U.)

Politics isn’t just knowing what’s going on in government, however. In our capitalist society, knowing the business practices of the companies one buys from and where one’s food comes from is another way to make an impact.

Next semester, I will be hosting a podcast for The DT opinions section and will not be writing regular written columns. Therefore, as my last written column in The DT for a while, I call upon the young people of my generation to take a stand on something, be it government, health care, the environment or something else impacted by politics. We owe it not only to ourselves, but also to generations after us to try and make an impact now.

market: a bachelor’s degree is quickly becoming the default, making all of us graduates not quite so special anymore.

There is also the sad fact that as I’ve gotten older, people have continually paid me less and less to work for them. Throughout college, my average hourly pay has never risen above minimum wage, and I don’t see why this would change anytime soon.

The highest paid position I’ve ever had was being the host of my high school graduation party, earning roughly $400 per hour (don’t tell me you didn’t sweat for dough at your grad party). It’s embarrassing to think that at eighteen I had greater financial clout than I do now, and perhaps more than I ever will have again.

But, as a true liberal arts major might say, life isn’t all about money.

And perhaps I’m looking at graduation wrong and just being a total downer, which brings to mind a quote, “Every ending is disguised as a new beginning.”

That sounds nice and dandy, but whoever said that is totally full of crap.

Strutting around campus as a senior I feel some sense of import, but when I walk off the stage at Moby on May 18, I feel as if I’ll be right back to square one.

So yeah, I’m pretty excited to graduate…

WWII bomber to be salvaged off UK coast LONDON (AP) — A famous German World War II bomber nicknamed “the flying pencil” has spent decades submerged in the English Channel after being shot down in the Battle of Britain.

Now, divers are braving dangerous tides to bring it to the surface.

British officials on Friday announced a complex salvage operation just off the Kent coast in southeastern England to rescue the only known surviving example of the German Dornier Do 17 bomber. The operation is under way and if all the preparations go well, the plane will be lifted from the water in three or four weeks.

But the director of London’s RAF Museum, which has been raising money for the salvage, cautioned that the recovery would be risky — divers will only be able to work for 45 minutes at a time because of perilous tides, and they face other challenges.

“We are not guaranteed success,” Peter Dye said. “There have been previ-

ous aircraft recovery projects that didn’t go so well, cases where the structure has disintegrated on retrieval. When it breaks the surface, gravity and the laws of mechanics come into play, so we very much hope the frame we’ve constructed will support that structure.”

Corrosion is another obstacle that could spoil the procedure, he said.

RAF Museum officials also said the challenging salvage will be the biggest recovery of its kind and they hope to one day display the Do 17, an aircraft nicknamed “the flying pencil” because of its narrow fuselage, at the museum.

The museum has already raised the estimated 600,000 pounds ($930,000) that will be needed for the lifting phase of the operation, with the help of a substantial donation from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, and funds are being raised for the conservation effort.

The wreck is submerged in about 60 feet (20 meters) of water. The plane was shot down during the 1940 Battle of Brit-

ain, a months-long clash over the skies of Britain that saw RAF fighters engaged in a colossal life-or-death struggle with the German Luftwaffe.

Experts said the bomber, discovered by divers five years ago, is remarkably undamaged despite the passage of time.

Dye said the plane would be exhibited next to a Hawker Hurricane fighter that had also been shot down during the battle.

“We feel it’s important that they be exhibited side by side,” he said, pointing out that two German airmen died in the Dornier. “With time, we recognize that young men died on both sides, which is why we don’t intend to restore it. We will conserve it and place it on exhibition alongside the wreck of a Hurricane shot down at much the same time in which a British pilot died.”

Museum officials say the Dornier was shot down on Aug. 26, 1940, at the height of the Battle of Britain. It was forced to make an emergency landing

on the Goodwin Sands at low tide after it came under attack by British fighter planes. It touched down safely but then sank — two of the crewmen were captured alive and taken prisoner; the other two died. Their bodies were found washed ashore later.

If the plane is lifted from the Channel without damage, it will still be several years before it can be put on display.

It will be packed in a special chemical gel and plastic sheeting to protect it from damage caused by exposure to air, then taken by road to the RAF Museum in Cosford for extensive conservation treatment expected to take two or three years.

During that time, it will be placed in “hydration tunnels” so that chemicals and salts that accumulated during 70 years underwater can be gently washed away. After that, steps must be taken to stabilize corrosion within the plane itself.

Once this is done, the plane should be ready to be put on exhibit at the RAF Museum in London.

music. Now, there is an air compressor behind the scenes, and the newly rebuilt instrument itself has a touchscreen panel that can note “favorite” stop combinations like a browser bookmarks a Web page.

Despite the advances in organ technology, Lefebvre feels the weight of history in his job. There are deep gashes in the wood carvings of the organ loft — a legacy of revolutionaries from the late 18th century who slashed away the fleur-de-lis symbol of the monarchy. But, Lefebvre said, they refrained from melting down the metal pipes into bullets during the war after heeding pleas from Notre Dame’s organ master, Claude Balbastre, who had adapted to new political realities by composing variations on the Marseillaise anthem.

Notre Dame briefly opened its organ loft on Thursday to show off the new instrument — refurbished for the cathedral’s 850th anniversary this year. Each of the nearly 8,000 pipes — some of which date back to the 18th century — was individually cleaned and returned to its place. The new electronic panel, the five cascading keyboards and more than 200 stops were installed.

Lefebvre began his musical career on piano, but he says “the piano is an industrial product. Each one is basically like the other. Every organ is unique, made for a particular place.”

In cavernous Notre Dame, the

organ’s location is unparalleled. When Lefebvre plays the opening of “Piece Heroique” a few tourists turn toward the sound. By the end of the grandiose piece, the wooden floor of the loft is vibrating, Notre Dame’s arched ceiling echoes with the sound and below, flashbulbs flare upwards. A pigeon that had been roosting on one of the horizontal pipes took flight for quieter territory.

“Notre Dame’s organ is particular because it is one of the only organs that has retained the traces of centuries. As the cathedral itself. So at the same time you have tones from before the Revolution, some from the 19th century similar to a symphonic orchestra, and also all the recent inputs of the 20th century. You have three or four authentic centuries of music,” he said. “It resonates in the stones of the cathedral.”

The big organ is played on weekends and for major ceremonies and holidays, the playing shared by three organists who have held the job since 1985.

Because organs employ the sounds of a multitude of instruments, it is usually up to the organist himself to decide the combination of stops he wants for any given piece. That decision can change according to the organ, the space and improvisational whim.

“Since sheet music didn’t exist in the early years of the organ, organists

that will start up in the fall,” she said. “We want to get it started as soon as possible, so things like this won’t happen again.”

Dobbs said Evans has been the main face pushing for RRADD at Tech.

“Emily would get upset anytime someone made some sort of joke about driving home drunk, especially after the accident,” she said. “I think she just feels like it’s her duty to get this organization started in honor of May.” According to the race’s official page, all the money raised will go to the Meagan Rough Memorial Fund to help raise awareness against drunken driving.

“Our budget was $5,000, and through the event we have raised over $10,000 back, which is absolutely incredible,”

Dobbs said. “We want to make this race an annual event, but are planning on hosting it closer to the anniversary of May’s death.”

She said they plan on keeping with the same general theme every year as well and plan to get a scholarship started in honor of Meagan Rough.

“We all came to this event for the same reason — we all want to prevent tragedies like this from happening again,” Evans said. “It could have happened to anyone. I never thought I would have lost my best friend because some kid made a dumb mistake. He thought he was invincible, but guess what? He wasn’t. We just all have to think about our actions and what they could cause for other people.”

“We wanted the race to take place here in hopes of making this area a positive light again,” she said. “May had so many friends on this street and we don’t want it to be such a negative place for all of them now that she’s gone.”

Meagan Rough was a sophomore biochemistry major from Kaufman, and was strongly active in the Greek community.

Emily Evans, a Tech student and best friend of Meagan Rough, said she and several others are in the process of creating an organization at Tech in honor of Meagan Rough.

improvised. This tradition continued in Europe, and especially in France,” he said.

Each key, Lefebvre said, is like a letter on a computer keyboard. The stops and pedals, he said, elaborating on the metaphor, are like a font. And he can bring back 5,000 different combinations of stops with the new electronic memory. Things have changed since the keyboard that connected to the pipes by long mechanical arms.

But even the most advanced organ, he said, is not built by programmers and engineers alone. “You also must be a musician.”

And organists themselves are untethered to any one instrument.

Lefebvre said he has played thousands of organs around the world, gleaning something from each one.

Still, Notre Dame remains his ideal as it was when he was young.

“Here in Notre Dame when you play a tone, it resonates for eight to nine seconds. It is exceptional — the sound spreads across the whole structure and you feel it when you play,” he said. “The sound just comes back to you.”

Notre Dame’s new pipe organ bears history’s weight PARIS (AP) — From the moment the teenage musician caught sight of the organ in France’s most famous cathedral, he knew where he wanted to play. In the five decades since, Philippe Lefebvre has traveled the world to play what he describes as an “orchestra of one,” but the organ master returns to the loft above Notre Dame and is never disappointed.

He has none of the infamy of Notre Dame’s bell-ringer and is invisible to the thousands of visitors Notre Dame receives each day. But Lefebvre said he never misses the direct contact with his audience that so many musicians crave. For the 64-year-old, it is enough to be the caretaker of what he considers an almost otherworldly instrument.

He first saw it when he was 15, as a young piano student.

“I thought that there were many more possibilities than with a piano.

Even though I find the piano magnificent, this is just a whole new world,” he said.

A few visitors may notice the biggest pipes above the entrance, but most turn their eyes no higher than the stained glass windows along the sides. Lefebvre, when he plays, is hidden even further — behind the brand new wooden-paneled console that he compares to a cockpit — five cascading keyboards and more than 200 stops.

Ninth inning mishaps lead to Tech loss

By PAIGE SKINNER LA VIDA EDITOR

After eight scoreless innings from Texas Tech starter Jonny Drozd and relief pitcher Johnathon Tripp, the Oklahoma State Cowboys got their bats going against Red Raiders junior pitcher Andre Wheeler to seal the game.

Tech’s defense was strong, leading to a scoreless eight innings Sunday afternoon as the Red Raiders ended their threegame series (1-2) against the Oklahoma State Cowboys at Rip Griffin Park.

But the eight scoreless innings were not enough for the Red Raiders, as they lost to the Cowboys 3-0 in the ninth inning.

Drozd started the game out strong, pitching 7.2 shutout innings, giving up four hits, but with a season-high four walks.

Drozd received a standing ovation from the home crowd as he left the mound, when Tripp took over to eventually end the seventh inning.

Tripp pitched 1.1 inning, giving up one double, then was replaced with lefty Wheeler to face left-handed Oklahoma State catcher Victor Romero. But the lefty versus lefty situation did not seem to help, as Wheeler balked, moving right fi elder Zach Fish to third base, then immediately walking Romero.

With runners on the corners

in the top of the ninth inning, Cowboys designated hitter Rick Stover hit a double to the right field warning track, driving home one run. Then left fielder Gage Green hit a blooper in the gap, driving home two runs.

Wheeler then got out of the jam with a strikeout and fly out.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock said he is disappointed in Tech’s bullpen.

“Just a whole frustrating deal,” he said, “the whole inning basically was, the way the inning started and a little disappointed in the bullpen, obviously.”

Tech tried to rally in the bottom of the ninth, as first baseman Eric Gutierrez reached second base safely because of an error from Green in left field. Tech outfielder Brett Bell pinched hit for shortstop Tim Proudfoot, but struck out. Tech designated hitter Jarrard Poteete flew out to center, ending the game.

Oklahoma State pitcher Mark Robinette earned the win, while Tripp got the loss for Tech.

The Red Raiders had a total of six hits with no runs. Drozd said he cannot help but be frustrated at Tech’s offense and the result of Sunday’s game.

“I’m not going to say it’s not frustra ting,” he said, “but as a pitcher, you can’t let that kind of affect you. You can only do so much and I had to focus on what I had to do and I feel like I did a pretty good job at it.”

Rangers clinch series win against Red Sox Mondays:

This establishment, Texas Tech University & The Daily Toreador do not encourage underage drinking or alcohol abuse.

ARLINGTON (AP) — Craig Gentry is pretty good at playing small ball for the Texas Rangers.

The speedy center fielder added a long ball too.

Gentry put the Rangers ahead to stay with a two-out infield hit that produced two runs, his second RBI infield single in as many nights, and later added a two-run homer in a 5-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night.

“It’s special when you have a guy that can run like that. There’s not too many guys that can run like him,” said Ian Kinsler, who homered on the first pitch thrown by Red Sox starter John Lackey.

The Rangers had the bases loaded with two outs in the fourth when Gentry hit a hard chopper.

Third baseman Will Middlebrooks

fielded the ball cleanly and made a strong throw that was a bit wide of first base, though Gentry clearly beat it. A second run scored on the throwing error when the ball got away from first baseman Mike Napoli for a 3-1 lead.

“Speed kills,” manager Ron Washington said.

“That’s not how you draw it up, but any way we can push some runs across,” Gentry said. “I always run hard and run it out, just in case.

That’s my game. If I can beat something out, I’m going to try.”

Alexi Ogando (3-2) pitched into the seventh inning for his first victory in five starts and the AL Westleading Rangers (19-11) clinched the series against the Red Sox (20-10), who still have the best record in the majors even after losing the first two games.

Ogando struck out four and allowed one run in six-plus innings.

The right-hander, who won his first two starts of the season before going 0-2 the last four, was gone after allow-

ing a leadoff single to Middlebrooks in the seventh.

Lackey made his second start since coming off the disabled list because of a right biceps strain and winning in his return last Sunday. He hasn’t won consecutive starts since 2011, and has had plenty of struggles against the Rangers — a 6.01 ERA in his 37 career starts against Texas, the most by any active pitcher.

“I’ve pretty much done everything in this place,” Lackey said.

“I’ve pitched good here. I’ve been terrible here. And everything in between.”

The big right-hander, a Texas native, allowed three runs and six hits over five innings. He struck out four and walked three.

Gentry’s homer in the eight, his first of the season, came off former Rangers reliever Koji Uehara.

“Uehara got one up there and Gentry let loose,” Washington said. “Caught it on the fat part of his bat and drove it out of the ballpark. Certainly a big hit, gave

4816 50TH ST. 806-797-1064

us some insurance.”

On Kinsler’s leadoff homer, left fielder Daniel Nava was a long way in front of the 14-foot wall when he stopped, held his hands out and seemed totally confused while looking up for the ball. It landed several rows deep in the stands, an estimated 402 feet from home plate.

“I knew I got that one,” said Kinsler, who extended his club record with his 28th career leadoff homer. “He actually made me think my bat was hollow for a second. ...

He looked like he was camped. For a millisecond there, he kind of got me.”

David Ortiz had a leadoff double in the second for the Red Sox, extending his majors-best hitting streak to 24 games, dating back to last season. He scored on a single by Nava to tie the game at 1.

Ortiz has hit in all 12 games he has played in this season since being activated from the disabled list, with an extra-base hit in 10 of his last 11 games.

Referee punched by player in Utah dies MURRAY, Utah (AP) — A 46-year-old soccer referee who was punched by a teenage player during a game and later slipped into a coma has died, police said.

Ricardo Portillo of Salt Lake City passed away at the hospital, where he was being treated following the assault last weekend, Unified police spokesman Justin Hoyal said Saturday night.

Police have accused a 17-year-old player in a recreational soccer league of punching Portillo after the man called a foul on him and issued him a yellow card.

“The suspect was close to Portillo and punched him once in the face as a result of the call,” Hoyal said in a press release.

The teen, whose name hasn’t been released because of his age, has been booked into juvenile detention on suspicion of aggravated assault.

Hoyal said authorities will consider additional charges since Portillo has died.

An autopsy is planned. No cause of death was released.

Portillo suffered swelling in his brain and had been listed in critical condition, Dr. Shawn Smith said Thursday at the Intermountain Medical Center in the Salt Lake City suburb of Murray.

The victim’s family, which publicly spoke of Portillo’s plight this past week, has asked for privacy, Hoyal said.

Johana Portillo, 26, said last

week that she wasn’t at the April 27 game in the Salt Lake City suburb of Taylorsville, but she said she’s been told by witnesses and detectives that the player hit her father in the side of the head.

“When he was writing down his notes, he just came out of nowhere and punched him,” she said.

Accounts from a police report, Portillo’s daughter and others offer more details about what occurred.

The teenager was playing goalie during a game at Eisenhower Junior High School in Taylorsville when Portillo issued him a yellow card for pushing an opposing forward trying to score a goal. In soccer, a yellow card is given as a warning to a player for an egregious violation

of the rules.

The teenager, quite a bit heavier than Portillo, began arguing with the referee, then unleashed a punch to his face. Portillo seemed fine at first, then asked to be held because he felt dizzy. He sat down and started vomiting blood, triggering his friend to call an ambulance.

When police arrived around noon, the teenager was gone and Portillo was laying on the ground in the fetal position. Through translators, Portillo told EMTs that his face and back hurt and he felt nauseous.

He had no visible injuries and remained conscious. He was considered to be in fair condition when they took him to the Intermountain Medical Center.

Young gay athletes set tone for NBA coming out CHICAGO (AP) — You’ve probably never heard of Holly Peterson or Jonathan Jean-Pierre. One came out as a lesbian at age 15, when she was playing high school basketball. The other, a college rower, told his teammates last year that he’s gay.

There was little fanfare for either.

There were no headlines as there were this past week when NBA player Jason Collins declared that he is gay, making him the first in a major U.S. men’s professional sport to come out.

Some are calling Collins a role model for this up-and-coming generation of gay and lesbian athletes. But in some ways, those young athletes and their supporters also have helped

pave the way for pros like Collins.

“Change is coming from the top down, but it’s also coming from the bottom up,” says Ellen Staurowsky, a professor of sport management at Drexel University in Philadelphia.

“It is a movement that’s taken place quietly,” she adds, “on teams, in athletic departments with some coaches and athletes standing up when they needed to ... It’s an accumulated movement over many, many decades.”

Awareness of homosexuality in athletics started to grow, slowly, Staurowsky says, in the 1970s on college campuses. Then in the early 1980s, tennis star Billie Jean King was outed, and Martina Navratilova also came

out as a lesbian.

As a small number of high-profile athletes followed suit in years to come, Gene Smith, the athletic director at Ohio State University, says he and others began to notice a shift in momentum on college campuses by the mid-1990s. More young athletes were feeling empowered to be open about their sexuality, he says, and the trend has only grown.

“I think it was easier on certain teams, and it kind of evolved over time,” says Smith, who was the athletic director at Eastern Michigan University and Iowa State University before going to Ohio State.

For some, like Holly Peterson, an athlete who grew up outside Sacra-

mento, Calif., coming out happened even earlier in life. She made the decision to tell her family and friends that she’s a lesbian 14 years ago, when she was a sophomore in high school.

“I was ready,” says Peterson, who’s now 29. “I needed to tell someone.”

Her team and coach responded well, she says, though her parents removed her from her traveling basketball team and, instead, used the money they’d spent on that for therapy.

Eventually, though, her parents came to terms with her sexual orientation — and she went on to play college basketball at the University of California, Riverside, where she also lived her life openly.
