Whataburger alters breakfast times over national egg shortage CO RPUS CHRISTI (AP) — Whataburger says it is limiting its breakfast-serving hours, citing egg shortages due to the Midwest bird flu crisis.

The fast-food chain will serve breakfast 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. weekdays, and 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. on weekends.

It previously was available 12 hours a day. Whataburger says in a statement it’ll let restaurants concentrate their supplies during peak breakfast hours.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says confirmed outbreaks in the Midwest have cost chicken and turkey producers over 44 million birds. Egg prices have soared.

Major chains such as Taco Bell, Dunkin’ Donuts and IHOP say they’re monitoring the situation but haven’t yet been affected.

Bob Krouse, CEO of Midwest Poultry Services, said if a company’s supplier is affected by bird flu, it might have trouble finding another one.

Chevron fined $940,000 for fatal gas well explosion PITTSBURGH (AP) — Chevron Appalachia LLC has agreed to pay a nearly $940,000 fine levied by the state Department of Environmental Protection over a natural gas well explosion and fire that killed a contractor.

Last month, Chevron agreed to pay $5 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of the worker, Ian McKee, 27, of Morgantown, West Virginia.

DEP spokesman John Poister said that the agency doesn’t track fines like the $939,522 penalty announced Monday but that it’s “one of the largest we’ve ever had.”

“Chevron deeply regrets this incident and acknowledges the extensive efforts of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection in its response and investigation,” said Brenda Cosola, a spokeswoman for Moon Township-based Chevron Appalachia.

“Protecting people and the environment is a core value for Chevron, and we are determined to prevent an incident like this from happening again,” Cosola said.

DEP investigators previously determined that an inexperienced worker at Chevron’s site in Dunkard Township, Washington County, loosened a bolt without proper supervision, likely causing the well to leak and catch fire.

The investigation found that the inexperienced worker “was not supervised closely” when he used a tool on the well bore in the days before the fire and had not been trained on the procedure “or any other well procedure.”

Campus carry bill passes Texas Legislature

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

Promising the people of Texas that he would sign any bill allowing relaxed laws concerning gun rights in the state, Governor Greg Abbott is getting his wish after a bill was passed by the Texas Legislature late last week.

Senate Bill 11, more popularly known as “Campus Carry,” was passed successfully through both the Texas House of Representatives and the Senate. The overwhelming majority of both chambers were in favor of the bill, with a 98 to 47 vote in the Senate and a 20 to 11 House vote.

According to the text of the bill, anyone would be allowed to openly carry any legal firearms that they might possess as long as they have a proper license. Legal residents with valid identification and a lack of criminal history are eligible to obtain a proper license, according to the bill.

The bill will allow any license holder to carry a concealed handgun on or about the holder’s person while he or she is on the campus of an institution of higher learning.

But it also gives any institution the ability to come up with any regulations it wants in regards to carrying a weapon on campus, according to the bill.

The Museum of Texas Tech will host summer camps for toddlers to teenagers during June and July this year. The summer camps are a part of the education division’s broader efforts to form connections between the public and the museum’s exhibits.

Jill Hoffman, Helen DeVitt Jones curator of education, said summer camps were started at the museum several years ago.

These camps offer an opportunity to develop museum goers of the future — people who ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

will help found a museum or maybe work in a museum someday. “(Summer camps) are certainly something that’s historical,” Hoffman said. “It’s certainly not unique to this museum. A lot of museums do camps in the summer. It’s just a way to offer something more, something extra to the children during the summer.”

The education division within the museum is responsible for conducting the summer camps and tries to do something new each year, she said.

The Tournament for Heroes, a golf tournament organized by the Military and Veterans Programs, fundraised more than $10,000 on Friday. Despite the threat of poor weather, a wide variety of teams played at the Rawls Course to raise scholarship money for military veteran Texas Tech students and their dependents.

“What we do at Tech is really special,” Ryan Van-Dusen, Military and Veterans Programs director, said. “We see needs, and we take care of it. Most schools don’t have veterans-only scholarships.”

Despite it only being the second year the Military and Veterans Programs organized such a tournament, a large and diverse group of golfers arrived to support Tech’s veterans.

From the Hope Lutheran Church to XCEL Energy, several companies sponsored 17 teams to play in the tournament, Debra Crosby, assistant director of the Military and Veterans Programs, said.

While the stormy weather did not cancel the tournament altogether, it did prevent one team, the Andrus Brothers Roofing team, from playing because of business obligations, Crosby said. For the rest of the contestants, the stormy weather cleared for the Friday tournament, providing beautiful playing conditions.

“Online degrees are a great option for military personnel and working veterans. It is great to be able to tell potential students they will be able to get a high-quality education in whichever format they choose.”

Tech has been recognized for its online programs two years in a row, according to the release, and the rankings are based on program reputation, faculty credentials, retention rates and graduate debt loans. ➤➤@DailyToreador

Students win international scholarships Three students in the Texas Tech Honors College recently earned international awards and scholarships for their academic achievements.

Rachel Dziuk and Hattie Schunk received Goldwater honorable mentions, according to a Tech news release, and they were two of four students nominated for the Goldwater Scholarship.

Junior or senior students in the U.S. who have at least a 3.85 GPA and plan to have a research career in mathematics, natural sciences or engineering are eligible for the scholarship, according to the release.

“I feel very fortunate to receive a Goldwater honorable mention, especially being among a select group of only 46 engi-

neers out of the 269 students to receive the award,” Schunk said in the release. “I had excellent mentors, Dom Casadonte and Lynne Fallwell, and I would not have received this honor without their help and encouragement throughout the process.”

Kate Lewis won a place in the Common European Master’s Course in Biomedical Engineering program, according to the release.

Lewis was chosen out of 61 students around the world to participate in the CEMACUBE program, according to the release, and she was one of three U.S. students selected.

Texas Tech recognized as military friendly employer Texas Tech was one of five higher education institutions designated this year as a military friendly employer.

The Military Officers Association of America recognized the university, according to a Tech news release, for hiring veterans and service members as employees, among other factors.

“This is such an honor for Texas Tech, especially with us being one of only five universities nationally included in this list,” Tech President M. Duane Nellis said in the release. “Our veterans have dedicated their

lives to service, and it is our duty to give back to them whether it may be with an education, a career or moral support. We will continue to help veterans and service members achieve their goals in all aspects of their lives.”

Tech’s Military and Veterans Programs serves more than 1,800 students and has more than 350 faculty and staff members to assist military personnel and veterans, according to the release.

The university was previously recognized as the first Purple Heart University in Texas.

possibly reducing threat of violence form surrounding areas or people, he said.

But with the law there are safety requirements that come with it, and with obtaining a license there is training required.

The safety training and instructors are meant to inform people on how to avoid dangerous situations and let certain situations play out, Frullo said.

People do want to be able to protect themselves, and in some places and situations they might not be fully aware of the capabilities they have carrying a handgun, he said. So they must be able to train themselves to avoid turning any situation deadly.

However, though most of Frullo’s constituency does vote in favor of passing a more relaxed gun bill, there are still those who oppose laws such as Campus Carry.

“The biggest thing is that the current bill has no regulation on storage or handling of weapons,” Cole Adams, president emeritus of Tech Student Democrats and a junior political science and global studies major from Lubbock, said.

“That’s the scariest thing, because

The bill states that the board of regents or other governing boards can only amend any provisions established by this bill with a vote of no less than two-thirds of the board. Once provisions are made, it is the campus’ responsibility to make the rules regarding the amended regulation widely known.

“Any regular concealed handgun license holder must be over 21 years of age with no conviction of criminal activity,” John Frullo, Texas District 84 representative said. “Then they go through the license and finger printing process.”

Co-authoring the bill with representative Dustin Burrows, Frullo believes passing legislation such as this would make campuses much safer. There are many instances in which people were abiding by the law and ended up getting hurt because their weapon was still left in the their car, Frullo said.

With this new law, people would be able to have a handgun or concealed weapon on them, according to USA Today.

The Military and Veterans Programs will provide a special “Academic Skills Boot Camp” during the upcoming Tech orientations, geared at providing incoming veterans with the necessary critical thinking skills to excel in their studies.

The program also hosts a “Suns Up! Guns Up!” Reveille Run and will use the proceeds to further fund veteran scholarships. This 5k and 1 mile fun run is hosted every fall. More information can be found on their website, www. depts.ttu.edu/diversity/mvp. ➤➤@DailyToreador

“Being selected as a Military Friendly Employer conveys the top-down commitment Texas Tech has to the men and women who have served this great nation,” Ryan Van Dusen, director of the Military and Veterans Programs, said in the release.

“The university sees the value in hiring veterans to serve as leaders and role models across campus. Veterans contribute to the overall diversity of the campus and its continued success as we strive toward becoming a national research university.” ➤➤@DailyToreador

safety is our general concern.”

Adams along with his group believes the Texas government is overstepping its boundaries.

Bypassing local governments and regulation, this bill has the authority to dismiss some previous rules, Adams said.

Tech Student Democrats also believe their voices were not heard in the process of writing and passing this bill, he said. With most of the hearings taking place in Austin during the semester, it was practically impossible for any students to be able to voice their opinions to legislators.

“We would like more transparency in dialogue,” Adams said.

But despite the opposition, Bill SB 11 is soon to become law, allowing any citizen of age and status to possess a firearm on their person in any location that would allow it. It is through this that the Texas government feels the state’s residents can be safer.

“The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” Frullo said. “The problem isn’t with those that are license holders, it’s with others.” ➤➤@MichaelCantuDT

Lawyers gain more time in fight over actor Robin Williams’ estate SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Robin Williams’ wife and children have resolved differences over how to split up thousands of the late actor’s personal items, but they remain at odds over some clothing and money to maintain one of his homes, attorneys said at a court hearing Monday.

Meredith Bushnell, an attorney for Williams’ children from previous marriages — Zachary, Zelda and Cody — said about 300 personal items are in dispute after the two sides met with a mediator at a judge’s suggestion.

Williams’ wife, Susan Williams, would like to keep items such as her husband’s slippers, T-shirts and some boxer shorts, her attorney, James Wagstaffe, said after the hearing.

San Francisco Superior Court Judge Andrew Cheng gave the two sides until the end of July to resolve the differences but said he was encouraged by the progress they had made.

The sides also need to resolve the value of a reserve fund to allow Susan Williams to maintain the San Francisco Bay Area home that the actor left to her, Wagstaffe said. The couple shared the home where the actor hanged himself in August, and he left instructions that she receive enough money to keep it up through her lifetime.

A second appraisal on the property in Tiburon is expected to be completed soon.

“I’m representing an emotionally grieving widow who’s trying to honor her husband’s wishes,” Wagstaffe told the judge.

Bushnell accused Susan Williams of “delay tactics.”

Robin Williams left most of his estate to his three children, including the proceeds from the sale of a Napa County home and property.

In papers filed in December, Susan Williams said the contents of the Tiburon home should be excluded from the items the actor left his children.

Williams’ children countered that Susan Williams was “adding insult to a terrible injury” by trying to change the trust agreement and rob them of items that their father clearly intended them to have.

They said the belongings include clothing, watches, photos taken prior to his marriage to Susan Williams, and entertainment awards.

Multiple trucks have recently come to the Tiburon home to remove personal items, Wagstaffe said.

He characterized what Susan Williams was seeking as a “small bucket of water from a lake,” saying Robin Williams had left his three children and a former wife over $100 million.

Tiffany Demmon, program coordinator of the museum, said she will be the teacher for the Antarctica and Arts and Crafts camps this year.

Now in its second year, Arts and Crafts camp was brought in again, Demmon said, because of its popularity last summer.

“Arts and Crafts is (for ages) 4 to 6,” she said. “It’s really just a way to kind of introduce little kids to a lot of different mediums of art.”

Children participating in the Arts and Crafts camp will paint with watercolor, do T-shirt printing, paint lead figures and other activities, Demmon said.

The museum also takes children to the galleries where the campers can look at the art and gain visuals, Demmon said. The museum is also hosting a watercolor exhibition.

“Kids get to paint on canvas and the kind of mediums that most kids wouldn’t get to do at home,” she said.

“The education division, to

me, is the face and voice of the museum,” Hoffman said. “It’s our business to connect with people and to make people feel comfort-

able and happy.”

Demmon said Antarctica, Terrarium and Tie-Dye are some of the camps new to the museum

this year.

Antarctica, the museum’s novelty camp this year, is for children ages 4 to 6, she said.

During the camp, kids will conduct experiments to learn facts about Antarctica.

Among other things, kids will learn to walk like penguins with eggs on their feet and understand how the body fat of penguins and seals protects them from the cold, Demmon said.

“I like to see little kids, especially 4 to 6 year olds,” she said.

“The reason I like the 4 to 6 year olds is because they’re not afraid to have the wrong answer.”

Samantha Biffle, Moody Planetarium intern of the museum, said she will be the teacher for the Wizard camp.

The Wizard camp was offered last year and Biffle said it was a huge success and received positive reviews. As a result, museum officials decided to expand the camp and host it again this year.

This year, the wizard camp is being offered for two different age groups — 7 to 10 and 11 to 14, Biffle said.

Wizard camp, based largely on the “Harry Potter” book series, is an opportunity for kids

to experience attending a wizard school, Biffle said.

The Wizard camp is a threeday event, Biffle said, which starts off with assigning students to different houses and campers making their wands.

The second day is a class day, she said, where students learn about potions, defense against the dark arts and magic spells.

The last day of the camp is dedicated to quidditch.

“Keep in mind that a lot of the (kids) know all of these things,” Biffle said. “They’re really smart. They know more than I do in a lot of occasions.”

Hoffman said she is proud of the fact the museum has tried to do something different each year.

Last year, children did book making and sold some handmade dolls, which were popular, she said, but when the museum tried to offer needle felting, no one signed up.

“But I’m glad for that,” Hoffman said. “I’d rather have tried and not have any takers than to just offer the same thing every year.”

Tracy Morgan: Bad days, good days one year after limo crash NEW YORK (AP) — Tracy Morgan said Monday he doesn’t remember anything about the limo accident that left him in a coma for two weeks, and said that, a year later, he still has bad days as well as good.

Appearing live on the “Today” show for his first public appearance since the accident, Morgan sat clutching a cane and became emotional as he recalled learning after the crash June 7,

2014, that his fellow comedian, James “Jimmy Mack” McNair, was killed.

Morgan then came across a video of McNair’s funeral on YouTube, and “I lost it for about a week,” he said.

Asked by “Today” host Matt Lauer what it’s been like emotionally, Morgan replied, “Up and down.” He said he had his daughter, son and fiancee, Megan Wollover, “so they keep my

spirits up.”

“But the pain is always going to be there for Jimmy Mack,” he added, his voice cracking and his eyes welling. “He was a loving man, a warm man, he was a good man. He’s gone. That’s it.”

Last week Morgan settled a lawsuit with Wal-Mart, which owned the truck that slammed into the back of the limo van carrying him and others on the New Jersey Turnpike. Morgan

suffered head trauma, a broken leg and broken ribs.

“I’m happy that Wal-Mart stepped up to the plate in a tremendous way,” he said. “I’m happy they looked out for Jimmy Mack’s family.”

Lauer noted that Morgan typically traveled with his family to comedy performances, but chose not to bring them to the appearance in Delaware he was returning from when the acci-

dent occurred.

“I told Megan, ‘You and the baby (daughter) stay home, and we’ll go to Delaware, and I’ll be right back,” Morgan said.

Speaking of his own continuing recovery, he said, “I have my good days and my bad days, where I forget things. There are times where I get the headaches and the nosebleeds, and I won’t even let my lady know because I don’t want her to be worried

State attorney general warns Circus performer falls during aerial act against flood cleanup scams in Houston, treated for minor injuries SAN MARCOS (AP) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has toured some flood recovery centers and warned against price gouging and cleanup scams.

Paxton advises storm victims to ask contractors for references and be cautious of operators from outside of the affected areas.

Hays County is among 70 Texas counties under a state disaster declaration. More than 30 people were killed in Texas and Oklahoma last month by storms that dropped record rainfall, stranding people and even livestock.

Austin dealing with more than 30 synthetic marijuana cases AUSTIN (AP) — Medical officials in Central Texas have treated more than 30 people who got sick from synthetic marijuana in cases since the weekend.

Bernie Sanders campaign Texas Senate right to reject texting, driving bill deserves greater attention T Jarrod Business himself. This is what every person that has it out for the government says, and that’s what Sanders is running for, but he can’t get a word out to the masses because he has no real media attention.

Another part of the Sanders campaign is to heal the massive wound that is income inequality, which the American people are blindly unaware of. With the small amount of media attention he gets, the campaign continuously gets heat for not covering issues such as marriage equality, gaps in gender wages, recent incidents of racism and the risks of terror groups that the country feels threatened by, which of course the Hillary Clinton campaign has covered.

The simple answer is most of these issues are issues because of poverty or big business. If the gap in income inequality is filled, then those who suffer from poverty are able to rise and bring problems of theirs to light. It’s simple — get the money out of politics and the little guys (or girls) will finally have a voice; this is exactly what big business doesn’t want.

People are confusing Sanders’ brutal honesty with insanity. A candidate that isn’t photogenic or tells the big donors what they want to hear? That guy must be insane; he could never make it.

If our news sources can give Sanders the time of day, it will be a fair and even playing field for all the presidential candidates, Republican and Democrat. But Sanders does have a fighting chance as it is.

As he puts it, “Don’t underestimate me.”

If our news sources can give Sanders the time of day, it will be a fair and even playing field for all the presidential candidates, Republican and Democrat.

telephone number or global positioning system data, that is read from or manually entered into a wireless communication device for the purpose of communicating with another person, including an SMS text, e-mail, or instant message,” according to the Texas Legislature Online Database.

Because of these specifications, huge loopholes are created within the ban. Communication services such as texting, e-mail and Facebook are banned, yet using apps such as Google Maps or iTunes are allowed.

Police may see the blue hue on a drivers face, but how can they prove the driver was not using his or her GPS, or simply changing the song on their Bluetooth device?

This problem has emerged in other states, and shows that an ineffective ban is just as useless as no ban at all.

Take, for example, an interview of Indiana State Police

“

Communication services such as texting, e-mail and Facebook are banned, yet using apps such as Google Maps or iTunes are allowed.

for another ban on texting and driving (and hopefully they will), they would be wise to expand the specifications on what defines texting and driving.

With the advent of the smartphone, the phrase “texting and driving” has come to encompass more than simply messaging. The simple act of looking down at the smartphone is just as dangerous as texting, whether the driver is adjusting his Google Maps route or changing a Spotify playlist.

By turning the ban on messaging applications into a ban on handheld phone use, not only will the ban encompass all of the problems, but also will give police the power to actively enforce the law.

Of course, the majority of House Bill 80’s content was well devised. The fine that Craddick proposed was reasonable, as he suggested an initial maximum fine of $99, followed by a maximum fine of $200. More importantly, House Bill 80 explicitly states that an officer may not confiscate or inspect a person’s cellphone, a rule essential to maintaining personal privacy in the modern age.

Hopefully these positive elements in Craddick’s bill can be carried over into a new bill. Texas desperately needs a proper ban on cell phone use, and the issue can be discussed again in 2017.

It will be a long two years before the issue is discussed again.

However, if a bill can be crafted in 2017 that can be more effective and enforceable, it will be well worth the wait.

People should take time to remember what is most important

F

or at least a short time, politics as usual was suspended last weekend with the news that Vice President Joe Biden’s son Beau died of brain cancer at age 46.

Politicians and citizens of all political persuasions put the partisan bickering on hold to express condolences and sympathy to Biden, who is no stranger to such personal tragedy. No parent should ever have to bury a child, but Biden is now doing so for the second time. He lost his one-year old daughter along with his first wife in a car crash just before Christmas in 1972 that also injured his two sons.

It’s times like these that make people stop and realize what’s most important. It puts things in perspective.

After he lost his wife and daughter, Biden, who had just been elected to his first term in the U.S. Senate, commuted between his Delaware home and Washington, D.C. by Amtrak train on a daily basis, according to

Andrew Gleinser a CNN article. Biden knew what was important and didn’t lose sight of that, even though he had a high-powered political career.

I don’t like Biden’s politics, but it’s hard not to respect him as a person.

It’s unfortunate, though, that it sometimes takes an event like this for people to put things in perspective. It’s easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day business and lose sight of what matters most, and this isn’t just confined to politics.

We’re all guilty of this to a degree because it’s tough to avoid.

We live in such a fast-paced society and we’re seemingly always busy with one thing or another.

But we shouldn’t have to wait for tragedies to make us realize what’s important to us.

No matter what anyone says, it’s not our professional lives that should be the most important.

That’s not to say that aspect of our lives isn’t important at all, because it is.

Hopefully that’s why we’re all at Texas Tech.

But at the end of the day, what matters most is the people we hold dear — our family and friends. The experiences we share with those we love are more important than any professional achievements we may earn.

You don’t often hear people on their deathbed say, “I wish I’d spent more time at the office.”

If anything, you’re more likely to hear, “I wish I’d spent more time with my family.” But in this society where we are often judged by what we accomplish at work

“

or school, that notion gets lost in the shuffle.

What we all need to do every so often is take a step back and look at what matters most in our lives. Professional success may come and go, but the people we love will always be there.

It gives me hope to see people putting aside politics to express condolences to Biden during this difficult time. Perhaps this will make us all realize we should put more of our focus on the ones we love, because as Biden can attest, they may not always be there.

You don’t often hear people on their deathbed say, ‘I wish I’d spent more time at the office.’

Michael Cantu

Master Trooper Shana Kennedy, conducted by Indiana’s Fox 59, on why the Indiana texting and driving ban is unenforceable.

Indiana’s texting and driving laws explicitly ban texting and emailing, but allows other apps such as Twitter, Snapchat or other distracting apps. According to the Fox 59 article, Indiana policemen cannot see which app the driver is using, and are unable to prove if the person was violating the law.

“It’s hard to wrap your mind around this,” Kennedy said.

“One’s OK, but another one’s not.”

When the Indiana police stop a driver for texting, it is difficult for the policeman to provide proof, as it is so easy for the driver to switch apps.

“One time the guy said it was Google,” Kennedy said. “He was looking at a Google map.”

For another example, a February article from Massachusetts’ Fox 25 news articulates the ineffectiveness of its own texting and driving ban. The flaws in its ban are similar to Indiana’s: because Massachusetts still allows cell phones to be dialed and held while driving, Police are unable to discern if a person is violating the law, or simply dialing for a phone call.

nnouncing that he was going to run for president a few weeks ago, Bernie Sanders entered the race a virtual unknown. And in some aspects it seems Sanders has stayed that way, but there is something that can be done about that.

As usual the media has a heavy hand in everything related to this race, mostly because it is those cameras and news people that pick whose mug gets shown on the television and put on the Internet. Coverage of Sanders is all but lacking, with most of the attention put toward the seemingly infinite list of Republican hopefuls.

It seems unfair that headlines follow the pattern of calling candidates with the likes of Ted Cruz and (possible candidates) such as Bobby Jindal underdogs, especially when the poll numbers show there will probably be no chance those t w o g e t a n ywhere close.

The real underdog in this race is Bernie Sanders, and no one is raising any sort of fuss.

Surprisingly, Sanders raised around $1.5 million within the first 24 hours of announcing his run for presidency, according to a Washington Post article. More than $1 million within a day isn’t just small peanuts; that’s a ton of money from people that most likely aren’t involved in big business.

It is also damaging to Sanders that right off of the bat, headline writers are throwing around the word “socialist” like a baseball.

Not that it is a terrible thing, but in my experience steering the American people away from the almighty word of capitalism is near the same as pulling the reigns to a different direction on a horse. People don’t like words that aren’t capitalism, and they’re not really explaining the theories behind Sanders “socialism.”

The basis of Sanders campaign platform is in part to rid politics of big money, the money that persuades legislation in the direction of Mr. Big

exas senators should take comfort. Though thousands of Texans may scorn them for blocking a texting and driving ban last Thursday, the Senate was correct in its actions.

Many people were appalled when the act died on the senate floor. Representative Tom Craddick, the state representative who authored the house bill, scathed, “Anybody who dies from texting while driving in the next two years, that’s on the back of those (opposing) senate,” according to the Dallas Morning News.

Tom Craddick was correct in one aspect: Texas desperately needs a ban on texting and driving. Texas is one of four of the states that do not ban texting and driving, a practice that has resulted in at least 468 Texas deaths in 2014 alone, according to Texas Department of Transportation statistics.

However, despite Craddick’s wholly good intentions to cut down texting and driving, Texas needs a bill that is effective and enforceable, which are two criteria his bill failed to meet.

Colleyville Republican Sen. Konni Burton, the leading opponent of the ban, said in a statement, “as drafted, [the ban] does not provide any additional protections to Texans and contains several enforceability issues,” according to the Dallas Morning News.

The weakness of Craddick’s bill, House Bill 80, seem to reside in what is defined by “texting and driving.” House Bill 80 bans only texting, which is defined in the bill as, “data, other than a

UT-Austin president Powers leaving as diversity issues linger AUSTIN (AP) — Bill Powers won’t be the University of Texas at Austin president who decides whether to keep a statue of Jefferson Davis, a tribute to the president of the Confederacy, on campus.

But Powers has spent his near-decade in office grappling with the kind of tension that’s been on display in recent weeks as students have called for the statue’s removal.

The Houston Chronicle (http:// bit.ly/1M4Tkr3 ) reports the episode is the latest example of UT, a nationally renowned research university, struggling to sever the more troubling bits of its Old South roots.

When Powers took office in 2006, diversifying the flagship and making the campus a more inclusive place were among his top priorities. Nine years later, as Powers prepares to leave this week, he has achieved much of that goal.

He’s been a fierce defender of the race-conscious admissions policies that have drawn national attention to UT through high-profile legal challenges.

The Supreme Court this week could consider taking the case up again.

Despite his efforts, though, challenges remain, as suggested by the Davis statue and several other relics of the Old South still on campus, including an

inscribed ode to the men and women of the Confederacy. UT’s black student population hasn’t grown in Powers’ time, white students still outperform their minority peers, and the faculty remains overwhelmingly white.

“From the students’ point of view, it still is challenging to come to what was the Big White University,” Powers said.

A growing Latino student population and the creation of an entire arm of the university to focus on diversity will be among Powers’ most important legacies.

The efforts include outreach to historically disadvantaged communities like East Austin, which long looked at UT as something of an adversary. Under Powers’ tenure, UT has established two ethnic studies departments — a pricey commitment to institutional diversity, even during tough economic times — that are among the few of their kind in the nation.

“In a time of extreme austerity, they’ve still tried to keep diversity on the front burner,” said Edmund T. Gordon, chair of the African and African Diaspora Studies Department. “It is completely unprecedented that in a time of cutbacks, the university would be creating new units like this depart-

ment. . That’s unheard of. In many places, they’re cutting out these kinds of programs, rather than building them.”

UT’s undergraduate population has become less white in Powers’ time — 46 percent of undergraduate students were white in 2014, compared with 57 percent when he took office. But UT’s black student population hovered between 4 percent and 5 percent for each of Powers’ years in office.

And while the university has made gains in graduating minority students, a significant gap remains between their success rate and that of their white peers.

Just 42 percent of black students who started in 2010 graduated in four years, for example, compared with 61 percent of white students. Of the Hispanic students who started in 2010, just 44 percent graduated four years later.

The tiny black student population at UT — African-Americans make up 12 percent of Texas’ population — is a “blemish” on the university, said Michelle Asha Cooper, president of the Institute for Higher Education Policy, a nonprofit that aims to promote access to and success in higher education for all students.

“I have to be honest, that blows my mind,” Cooper said. “When I think

about diversity I don’t necessarily think about UT-Austin, except I think it is a school that can do more, given the percentage of people of color that live in the state. . If you’re not educating students who come from that population, then who are you educating? Because the white population is only going to be decreasing over time.”

UT faculty also has been slow to diversify. The vast majority — 77 percent — of the school’s teaching faculty is white. Just 147 of UT’s 1,549 tenured teaching professors were black or Hispanic in 2014. UT also has struggled to attract minority doctoral students, especially black doctoral students.

Officials hope that the school’s new ethnic studies departments, the African and African Diaspora Studies and the Mexican American and Latino/a Studies departments, will be powerful recruiting tools. The departments show a “commitment to institutional diversity,” said Gregory J. Vincent, UT’s vice president for diversity and community engagement — a position elevated to a vice presidency by Powers in 2006.

The departments are a costly commitment — UT has spent $19.3 million on them since 2011 — but they’ve already shown promise.

Men’s golf team eliminated in NCAA US soccer team championship, finishes in 17th place to play in Cuba Despite a strong comeback attempt, the Texas Tech men’s golf team fell short of advancing in the 2015 NCAA Men’s Golf Championship last weekend at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida, according to a Tech athletics news release.

Two days into the tournament, the Red Raiders were in 27th place, but went on to post

a 6-under 282 on Sunday, the second-best round of golf for the day, according to the release.

However, only the top 15 teams could advance, and the Red Raiders finished 17th.

In his final tournament as a Red Raider, senior Clement Sordet finished with an even-par score of 72 in the final round, according to the release, while freshman Wes Artac shot a

2-under score of 70.

Sordet and Artac finished the tournament in a tie for 51st place overall. Hannes Ronneblad finished in 59th place with a 7-over par score for the tournament, according to the release, while freshman Mito Pereira finished 12-over par and senior Matias Dominguez finished 19-over par.

“I’m proud of the effort,”

Tech coach Greg Sands said in the release. “We cleaned up some mistakes, played to our potential and had a lot of good golf going out there for most all the day. A lot of times it comes down to one shot and in this instance, especially, it did. We have a lot to work on but as a coach, that’s what drives you to get better.” ➤➤@TheDT_Sports

Rice tops Houston 3-2 in 20 innings after six hours HOUSTON (AP) — Leon Byrd hit an RBI double down the right-field line, giving Rice a 3-2 victory over Houston in 20 innings early Monday in the fourth-longest game in NCAA Tournament history.

Rice (37-21) advanced to play Louisiana-Lafayette in the regional championship on Monday after winning the game which lasted 6 hours, 2 minutes.

Ryan Chandler singled with one out off Aaron Garza (1-4) to set up Byrd’s double. Tristan Gray followed with a single, but Byrd was thrown out at the plate. Kirby Taylor fouled out to end the inning.

Kyle Survance singled off Austin Orewiler (6-2) to lead

off the bottom of the ninth, but was thrown out trying to stretch it to a double. Josh Vidales and Chris Iriart each flew out, and the jubilant Owls mobbed each other in celebration on the field.

Houston (43-20), which tied it in the eighth on Corey Julks’ home run to send it to extra innings, was eliminated despite setting a program record with 23 strikeouts.

Houston coach Todd Whitting was long gone from the game when it ended after being ejected in the fifth inning. Taylor bunted with Gray on first, and catcher Ian Rice’s throw to second pulled the shortstop off the base — making Gray safe on the error. Whitting came out to argue the play and was tossed by second base

umpire Mark Chapman.

John Williamson hit a oneout double in the 16th for Rice.

On the next play, Hunter Kopycinski singled to right, but Williamson was thrown out at the plate. Following the play, Williamson and the catcher Rice started yelling at each other and benches began to clear, but the umpires restored order.

Williamson reached with two outs in the 18th on an error, stole second and reached third on another error, but Garza got Kopycinski to ground out to end the threat.

After Rice loaded the bases with one out in the fifth, Charlie Warren hit a two-run single up the middle to put the Owls

on top 2-0.

Orewiler (6-2) allowed three hits and struck out seven over 9 1/3 relief innings for Rice. Owls starter Kevin McCanna allowed one run and six hits in 5 1/3 innings before being replaced by Glenn Otto, who also gave up one run but just two hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Garza was the hard-luck loser after striking out 11 and giving up six hits over nine innings in relief for Houston. Cougars starter Kyle Dowdy allowed two runs — one earned — and nine hits with 10 strikeouts in 9 1/3 innings. He threw 137 pitches.

Survance hit an RBI single in the fifth to cut Houston’s deficit to 2-1.

Twice in Texas: Bowditch wins Nelson for 2nd career victory I RV I N G ( A P ) — S t e v e n Bowditch certainly has a Texas trend going in his career. The Australian will stop short of calling it a Tour trend.

“I’m obviously not at the superstar level,” Bowditch said, trying to explain how he went from eight missed cuts this season and a disqualification a week earlier at Colonial to winning the AT&T Byron Nelson on Sunday. “I just go out there and do my best and hopefully every now and then I get a chance to win.”

Bowditch rode his best birdie binge on the PGA Tour to a 5-under 64 and a four-shot victory in the Nelson, making him two-for-Texas in career titles after winning the Texas Open in San Antonio last year.

A Dallas-area resident for 10 years, Bowditch had 27 birdies while becoming the seventh player to lead all four rounds of the event.

Playing next to the resort hotel where he got married, the 31-yearold Bowditch finished at 18-under 259 on the rain-altered TPC Four Seasons layout.

Holding the large trophy, he posed for photos on the 18th green — just as he and his wife, Amanda, did four years ago.

“It’s definitely the second best time I’ve had on that green — since we got married,” Bowditch said in the interview room while his wife watched from the back.

Charley Hoffman (65), Texan Jimmy Walker (66) and Scott Pinckney (66) tied for second at

14 under. Zach Johnson shot a 63 to finish alone in fifth at 13 under.

Hometown favorite and Masters champion Jordan Spieth stayed at 7 under after an even-par 69.

Playing with Bowditch in the final group, Dustin Johnson briefly overtook him early in the round before making an 8 at the par-4 sixth.

He finished at 11 under with a 69.

A sunny day wrapped up two otherwise soggy weeks of golf in Dallas-Fort Worth starting with Colonial. A 5-inch overnight downpour after the first round of the Nelson turned one of the toughest holes on the already-saturated course — the par-4 14th — into a pitch-and-putt par 3 of barely 100 yards for the final three rounds.

While birdies were the norm

after easy wedge shots from what might normally be a drop area in front of a greenside pond, Bowditch had to save par from about 12 feet to keep a three-shot lead, pumping his right fist after the ball dropped in.

The temporary tee box was about 20 yards farther back Sunday, and tour officials believe par of under 70 was a first according to records going back to 1983. The overall par total was 277.

Up by three at the spectatorfriendly 17th, Bowditch leaned like he thought his tee shot on the par 3 might go in the water to the right of the green. Instead, the ball flew over the pin and landed safety on the back, and Bowditch raised his putter as the putt rolled in to punctuate the win.

Texas school district’s $60M stadium to reopen after repairs ALLEN (AP) — A North Te x a s s c h o o l d i s t r i c t ’s $ 6 0 million high school football stadium is set to reopen for graduation after being closed because of its significant structural defects.

Allen Independent School D i s t r i c t ’s E a g l e S t a d i u m i s scheduled to be ready for graduation Friday. Last year, a report released by the district revealed cracks and other structural flaws in several areas of the stadium, including the concourse,

press box and south scoreboard.

The contractor and architectural firm paying for the repairs say the cost to fix the stadium has exceeded $10 million. A final total is not yet available.

The companies have also reimbursed the district for engineering fees, which have surpassed $1.8 million, as well as costs incurred because of the stadium’s closure and the resulting loss of revenue.

The stadium opened in 2012.
