HSC School of Medicine receives national award Texas Tech Health Sciences Center’s School of Medicine received a national award from the Association of American Medical Colleges Southern Group of Educational Affairs.

The award, according to a news release, was given to the school because of its Family Medicine Accelerated Track program.

The program allows for a reduction in fees by allowing students to complete their degree in three years instead of four and by providing students with financial aid during their second year of medical school and is comparable to a four-year medical degree, according to the release.

“This is a program of national importance as we work to ensure that all Americans will have access to a primary care physician,” Dr. Steven Berk, executive vice president, provost and dean of the School of Medicine said in the release. “We are committed to taking the first steps in changing how medical schools attract and educate future family medicine doctors and are honored to receive this recognition from SGEA.”

During the next biennium, the Texas Tech System will see increased funding for research in a variety of areas, making the 83rd Session of the Texas Legislature one of the most successful for the System.

“For all research, we did great,” Chancellor Kent Hance said. “And also, we got increased formula funding for all of our students, and we got for the System about $85 million additional funding for the next two years throughout the System.

“They did a great job in the appropriations process. It allowed us to be in a position that we did not have to raise tuition, fees, room and board and, people need to keep in mind, we’ve done that twice in the last six years.”

Along with the approval of the freestanding Tech Health Sciences Center at El Paso, the fourth component in the Tech System, the Legislature granted the System an increased amount of money for formula funding, the Texas Research

Incentive Program, the Research Development Fund, the Competitive Knowledge Fund, the Freshman College Funding, graduate medical education and the physician education loan repayment program, according to a statement released by Hance.

Most of this funding involves research, Hance said, and President M. Duane Nellis will most likely use it to recruit more students, increase retention rates and make sure students graduate on time.

Tech, Nellis said, needs to increase and maximize its resources with the support the Legislature provided to the Tech System.

“I think the Legislature is recognizing the good work we’re doing here,” he said, “but we need to take those dollars we get from the state and leverage those into new opportunities for our students, leverage those into new ways that might be catalysts for economic development and always look efficiencies in what we do.”

Lubbock experiences Gigantour

By EMILY GARDNER Managing Editor

With the establishment of Texas Tech Health Sciences Center at El Paso as a freestanding institution during the 83rd Legislative Session, a search for the first president was required.

Chancellor Kent Hance announced the search committee for the president on Friday.

The committee, according to a news release, is comprised of 13 members who will help identify potential candidates, assist in initial screenings and keep the public informed.

“An excellent group of individuals has been selected to serve our presidential search committee,” Hance said in the release. “The first president of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso will greatly shape the future of our institution and set a course for its continued success.”

The committee, according to the release, will include El Paso community members, Tech System Board of Regents members from Abilene, El Paso and Lubbock, as well as Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement Kelly Cronin, Chief of Staff in the Office of the President Grace Hernandez and Vice Chancellor in the Office of Academic Affairs Joseph Rallo.

J. Robert Brown, president of Brownco Capital, LLC, and former chairman of the Tech System Board of Regents who will represent El Paso, was named committee chairman, according to the release.

“I am confident this committee will help identify a leader who will uphold our strong standards of excellence,” Hance said in the release, “and build upon our current momentum in El Paso.”

The committee will recommend candidates to Hance, according to the release, who will then provide a recommendation to the Board of Regents. The regents will make the final decision.

Until the president is named, HSC President Dr. Tedd Mitchell will assume the duties of interim president of HSC El Paso, according to the release.

HSC El Paso, according to the release, has been prepping for the transition from a regional institution to a freestanding institution since 2011 with the regents’ approval on the initiative given at the May 2012 meeting. ➤➤egardner@dailytoreador.com

DAVE ELLEFSON, BASSIST and co-founder of Megadeth, plays the bass of a fan who was waiting in line to receive Ellefson’s autograph. Ellefson hosted an in-store signing and Q-and-A session with fans at 1 p.m. Saturday at Guitar Center.

Megadeth performs at Lonestar Amphitheater

By CATHERINE MCKEE Editor-in-ChiEf

He’s experienced 30 years of deth.

Megadeth, that is, and bassist and cofounder Dave Ellefson shows no signs of stopping any time soon.

Ellefson, accompanied by Black Label Society, Hellyeah, Newstead, Device and Death Division, took the stage Saturday night at the Lonestar Amphitheater for the 2013 Gigantour.

Although he’s been playing bass for 30 years, Ellefson said performing has never stopped being an escape from reality.

“To be able to do something you love and to be able to do that in a way that gives other people something that rocks their world and to create music for them, which by and large is a bit of an escape from your day-to-day life,” he said. “You know, to be able to do that for our fans is a real special treat.”

Saturday night that escape was in Lubbock, a show Ellefson said he was looking forward to because of the city’s reputation for being rowdy.

“Well, one thing I remember about Lubbock is it’s definitely got the heart and

soul and spirit of Texas in Lubbock, and it’s probably because not every big tour makes a stop in some cities like Lubbock,” he said.

“It’s cool that we can bring Gigantour there and bring the big acts like us and Black Label Society.”

Gigantour, which kicked off July 3 in New Hampshire, is making three stops in Texas and ends in Canada Aug. 11.

During that time, Ellefson said Megadeth, which founded the tour, will be performing songs off the band’s newest album, “Super Collider.”

The record, released in June, is the thrash-metal band’s 14th album, Ellefson said, and fans have been excited to hear the self-titled single on the tour. “’Super Collider’ is a very different song for Megadeth,” he said. ”We’ve certainly written heavy and melodic songs before, but ‘Super Collider’ with a lot of big open chords, with a very kind of major key sound to it, it’s a different thing for Megadeth and so we offer that plus we also play some other songs like ‘Kingmaker’, which has very much traditional thrash-metal, classic Megadeth sound to it, so there’s good variety that we’re able to pull from on this record.”

FAX: 806-742-2434

Although Megadeth didn’t perform “Super Collider” in Lubbock, the band played audience favorites, such as “Symphony of Destruction,” and “Sweating Bullets” and began the show with Ellefson’s favorite song, “Kingmaker.”

Making the audience happy while having the thrill of playing on stage with friends, Ellefson said, is an experience he’s been lucky to have a part in.

“And then, to be able to see the reaction of the people in the audience, knowing that they’re there for a night out and you’re there to entertain them and play the songs that hopefully they come to know and respond to,” he said, “that whole process is just something that I’ve been really lucky to be in.”

That process, Curt Hyden, a music major at South Plains College, said, is one that he loved to see because Megadeth is his favorite band.

His favorite part of Megadeth’s set, Hyden said, were the three screens behind the band that featured artwork and pictures, which went along with each song’s meaning.

Legislature approves HB2, bill awaits Perry’s signature Staff Writer

The Texas Legislature approved House Bill 2, which places several restrictions on abortions in Texas, and the bill is expected to become law this week with Gov. Rick Perry’s signature.

According to the bill, medical evidence suggests fetuses are capable of feeling pain after 20 weeks and women have adequate time to make a decision by then, so the bill draws the line for electable abortions at this time.

“You have got five months,” Republican State Rep. Drew Springer said, “if that is the issue, to decide if you want to have an abortion.”

The Texas congressman said he would rather see it earlier, but 20

weeks was agreeable based on the testimony in the session.

“We heard testimony from a young lady who was born at 21 weeks and just graduated college,” Springer said.

The bill also exempts abortions made after 20 weeks for medical reasons including physical impairment, avoidance of death and birth abnormalities, according to HB 2.

Victoria Lee, a senior advertising major from Highland Village, said rape and other exemptions, based on circumstances, should be added to the list.

“From my point of view,” she said, “abortion isn’t something that should be used as a form of normal contraceptive, but there are certain situations where it’s definitely necessary.”

Social sciences grant makes theater, art production possible

By SIDNEY RICHBURG Staff Writer

In the light of a setting sun, spectators claimed their seats and actresses took their places.

The “Three Eleanors: A Solar Powered Paper Doll Production” was a free event that took place at 8 p.m. on Friday, at Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts.

Dorothy Chansky, co-writer and director, said the production consisted of five actresses, solarpowered paintings and a paper-doll chain and was 70 minutes long.

According to the program brochure for the “Three Eleanors,” the project was a play, a look back in time and an art exhibition compiled as one. It featured three historic women who share fame, celebrity and play an important role in history and share the same name.

The production was funded by a Creative Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences grant from the Office of the Vice President for Research at Texas Tech and by in-kind grants, which are donations of goods or services instead of money, from John Backe, Susan Bernfield, The Morningside Players, New Georges and John Ronga, according to the brochure.

Elizabeth Stromsness, an actress in the play, said the actresses worked collaboratively on the script to put pieces together for the production.

“This is actually the second production of this piece,” she said.

“The first one was done a year ago at Tech, and that involved a lot of research into these women and their lives.”

Andria Baisley, a master of fine arts and performance in pedagogy student from Aiken, S.C., said the message she took from the performance was the saying, “Never judge a book by its cover.”

“If you look at Eleanor of Aquitaine, the oldest, she was only known for her beauty,” she said. “If you go to Eleanor Roosevelt she was likewise judged for not having beauty. If you go to Eleanor Duse, same thing, she was judged for her beauty and what she brought to the stage, and I think there was so much more to each of them.

“I think that’s part of the message they were trying to get across, that it wasn’t just about their product, but who they were as people.”

Baisley said she believed the actresses were natural on stage and worked great as an ensemble.

“The actual venue itself was really, really cool. I think they used the space very well,” she said. “I liked the fact that it was interactive and the actresses were pulling things off the walls. I loved that they were incorporating the art in with the show.”

Chansky said she was thrilled with the turnout.

“We were terrified that too many people would come and we would have to turn them away,” she said, “or they wouldn’t be able to see, but we had 57 people — the perfect number.”

Springer said, but the quality will not be raised until 2014 to give other facilities time to adjust.

“They have plenty of time to upgrade their facilities to that standard,” he said.

The only abortion clinic in Lubbock is Planned Parenthood Women’s Clinic, Clinic Director Andela Martinez said, and the clinic will continue to see patients.

“We did it in 2011 for the sonogram bill,” she said, “and we are going to try as hard as we can to, you know, jump over this hurdle.”

The staff is staying positive and will continue to maintain patients as their top priority, Martinez said, and is not too worried about losing their jobs.

goal the university has, while gathering a stronger pool of candidates for the 40 to 50 vacancies within the university.

University officials, Schovanec said, are optimistic that the university has grown its research capacity,

which was made visible by how well the System did during the session.

“You know, all of that reflects upon the reputation of Texas Tech,” he said. “They feel like we’re attracting a stronger pool of candidates, and we do have the resources

to invest in these people. That gives us some advantage over other institutions, and I don’t think that’s going to change in the immediate future. This past legislative session, Tech did very well.”

Although it was his first time at Gigantour, Hyden said it was his second time to see Black Label Society and he loves watching Zakk Wylde, the lead singer and guitarist for the band, “shred” on his guitar.

For Tabitha Galloway and Jamie Martinez, both Mangum, Okla., residents, Black Label Society was the highlight of Gigantour.

Driving three hours from their hometown, Martinez said, was worth it to see the band, whose performance they said was “badass.”

Gigantour will continue to hit cities across the U.S. like New York City and Oklahoma City, but Ellefson said Lubbock is always a different kind of experience.

“Sometimes you go through a

lot of the major cities and they’re used to getting every major tour that comes through, so coming into a place like Lubbock,” he said, “it’s a special stop for us. It’s always been something that’s near and dear to Megadeth and I’m glad that we could bring something so special like Gigantour there.”

the practice of abortion doctors dropping their patients on the emergency room staff after a procedure goes wrong, Springer said.

People go to surgical centers for most medical procedures for safety reasons, he said, and the bill requires similar precautions to protect the patient in an abortion procedure.

“We shouldn’t put Texas women in butcher shops to have that procedure done,” Springer said.

“They need to be in a quality standard-of-care facility.”

According to the Associated Press, the North Carolina Legislature passed a similar bill on July 3, requiring abortion clinic standards to be raised to that of surgical centers.

There are only five clinics in Texas that meet this standard,

“We are surely a kinder and gentler nation because of you,” Obama told the elder Bush, who sat in a room filled with his friends and former aides.

The first President Bush — “41,” he often calls himself — came to attend a ceremony Obama was holding to recognize the 5,000th Daily Point of Light Award. The award’s name comes from the description in his 1989 inaugural address of Americans serving each other as “a thousand points of light.”

Thanks to Bush, Obama said, “volunteerism has gone from something that some people do some of the time to something that lots of people do as a regular part of their lives.”

Bush responded briefly, thanking the Obamas for their “wonderful hospitality,” and leaving his son Neil Bush to offer more extended remarks.

In addition to Neil Bush, the former president was joined by his wife, Barbara, the former first lady; and Michelle Nunn, CEO of the Points of Light organization and a possible Democratic Senate candidate from Georgia. She’s the daughter of former Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga. President George W. Bush, the 41st president’s son, did not attend.

Obama and first lady Michelle Obama and the Bushes had lunch in the Red Room before the ceremony.

ICC hosts Putting on the Dog art exhibit

By ASHLYN TUBBS photo editor

A crowd consisting of mainly dog lovers congregated at the International Cultural Center on July 12 for a reception honoring the dog days of summer.

The fourth annual Putting on the Dog art exhibit featured photographs and paintings of dogs, showcasing their diverse internationalities.

“People come in and they just start beaming,” said Jane Bell, senior director of the ICC. “They just start smiling and go to each one and read the quotes underneath the frames.”

The exhibit could not feature all the entries because of limited space.

Bell said out of about 500 entries, they displayed about 70 of them.

“Next year, I’m going to devote all three gallery areas to photos because it was such a tremendous turnout and we had to say no to some people,” she said.

“It just broke my heart because they wanted to see their dogs on the wall.”

The exhibit relates to the ICC, Bell said, because of the many international breeds on display.

“Of the 150 dog breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club, only a handful got their start in the United States,” she said. “It’s really fun when you learn something about the international origins of our best friends.”

Anyone could enter their work in the exhibit, but Bell said the majority of the art was from local members of the community.

“People absolutely love their dogs,” she said, “and it’s a lot of fun, and it’s wonderful to celebrate the dog days of summer.”

One person who submitted a photograph of her dog was Julann Curlee, executive associate to the dean in the College of Agriculture. She said her dog is a weimaraner and was about sixand-a-half months old when she took the picture. Curlee said she decided to enter the photo when she came across the exhibit on TechAnnounce.

“We’ve been so excited, this is great,” she said. “There are professional photographers here and I just took mine on my phone. I feel honored to be among some professional photographers.“ Curlee had not visited the exhibit before, but said she thoroughly enjoyed it.

“If you love dogs and if you have a bond with one, you know what a member of the family they can be,” she said, “and it’s great to see them in some of the scenes in the pictures, and the quotes underneath of them are neat also.”

Angela Adams, a local illustrator for children’s books, said the quotes under the photographs were very complimentary.

“I like the fact that Jane (Bell) gets the most pithy quotes to go with each picture,” she said. “She is a great dog lover herself and she takes a lot of time in choosing the exact quote to go with each picture. She puts a lot of love into all of this and she said it’s a

Zimmerman trial proves ongoing racial conflict in US Headline news for the past few weeks have focused on covering George Zimmerman’s trial for the deadly shooting of Trayvon Martin. It’s astounding how much airtime was given to his trial. It’s been decades since a trial like this has had such national attention, so it’s apparent to see why this trial has received so much media attention.

Involving the killing of an African-American, the calendar rewinds about 50 years and we find the trial seeming to take place amid the peak of the civil rights movement in a racially torn apart America. And with the entire nation watching, it is assumed this was an attack led by racial discrimination.

However, this is not an attack on the black community, rather an attack from the black community. Initial investigation by first responders and on-the-scene police came to the conclusion

Jonathan Silva that Zimmerman acted out of self-defense and therefore no charges were pressed.

But in response, angry protesters, who did not seek justice and instead sought revenge, piled claims of racially discriminative motives and coerced the prosecution of Zimmerman. This case should not have been coerced upon Zimmerman to satisfy the demands of those who could not see the situation for what it actually was.

Protesters who asked for Zimmerman’s prosecution claim he was taking the law into his own hands and acting as some sort of

“vigilante Batman” for his neighborhood. But what they also fail to see is in doing this, they too are taking the law into their own hands and acting as vigilantes.

And all this on the basis that Martin was singled out for attack solely because he was black.

Regardless of his ethnic makeup, Martin was approached for suspicious activity in a neighborhood already undergoing recent breakins and robberies.

When I was Martin’s age, I too could be found wandering around in the late hours of the night doing anything to get out of the house — sometimes for no reason at all, but also for the intent of getting into a little trouble.

And, I too was often stopped by police officers to make sure I was old enough to be out past curfew and to make sure I wasn’t up to any trouble. I don’t blame Zimmerman at all for thinking Martin looked suspicious.

The fact Martin was an African-American immediately threw the case into the realm of racial conflict, and protesters seeking prosecution did their best to paint this as a hate crime against the black community.

At this point in American history, it is hard to believe racial conflict is still a prominent issue facing modern society. But this isn’t 1960 anymore, and we have progressed so much since the start of the civil rights movement.

This case shouldn’t be as big of an issue as the media has made it out to be and this is the source of my disappointment in media today. Major news groups such as Fox, CNN and MSNBC have created this case, given its vast amounts of airtime and turned it into a major racial issue.

Instead of bringing an issue to light and providing information for awareness, protesters and major news outlets have instead

fueled the fire to make Zimmerman look like some kind of racist and Martin to be an innocent victim of discrimination.

If the tables had turned and Martin had killed Zimmerman, it’d be hard to determine if the same protesters would be pursuing persecution or seeking justice for Martin — at least not to this magnitude. Zimmerman would just be another number in a statistic of crime and violence in America.

“If you trusted the justice system to find a man guilty, you must trust it when it finds a man not guilty, or its just partiality you seek,” Bryan Peterson said July 14 via Twitter. These wise words from the Miami Marlins outfielder shows exactly how the trial should be viewed with respect to the verdict found by the jury.

However, the National Association for the Advancement

of Colored People and protesters who called for federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman soon after the jury acquitted him of charges still refuse to halt their attacks on Zimmerman even after President Barack Obama called for peace in respect to the Martin family.

The law is the law and Zimmerman acted out of self-defense.

Instead of mocking the final verdict of the jury, people should respect the court’s decision and be thankful that an innocent man was not wrongfully imprisoned.

However, I do feel sympathy for the Martin family and their loss, and also for Zimmerman and his family for the hardship endured throughout the trial and in the future as he must try to resume his life as a labeled murderer by protesters and the prosecution.

Cory Monteith, star of hit show ‘Glee,’ found dead VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Cory Monteith, the heartthrob actor who became an overnight star as a high school quarterback-turned-singer in the hit TV series “Glee” but had battled addiction since his teenage years, was found dead of undisclosed causes in a hotel room, Vancouver police said. He was 31.

Police said Sunday that an autopsy is expected to take place Monday to determine the cause of death. Acting Vancouver Police Chief Doug LePard said late Saturday there was no indication of foul play.

The Canadian-born actor, who played Finn Hudson on the Fox TV series about a high school glee club, was found dead around noon Saturday in his room on the 21st floor of the Fairmont Pacific Rim

Hotel on Vancouver’s waterfront, according to police.

Monteith had openly talked about struggling with addiction since he was a teenager, saying he had a serious problem and took just “anything and everything.”

He told Parade magazine in 2011 that he was “lucky to be alive.”

In April, Monteith checked himself in to a treatment facility for “substance addiction” and asked for privacy as he took steps toward recovery, a representative said at the time. It was not his first time in rehab. He received treatment when he was 19.

Lea Michele, his “Glee” costar and real-life girlfriend, told People magazine at the time that she loved and supported him and was proud he was seeking help.

Michele was requesting privacy after receiving news of Monteith’s death, said her representative, Molly Kawachi of ID-PR .

“We ask that everyone kindly respect Lea’s privacy during this devastating time,” Kawachi said in in an email to The Associated Press.

Monteith’s body was found by hotel staff who entered his room after he missed his check-out time, LePard said. Monteith had checked into the hotel on July 6.

“We do not have a great deal of information as to cause of death,” said British Columbia Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe. She said further tests would be needed to determine how Monteith died.

LePard said Monteith had been out with people earlier and that those people are being interviewed.

Video and electronic records from the hotel indicate Monteith returned to his room by himself early Saturday morning, and he was believed to be alone when he died, LePard said.

Lapointe said he had been dead for several hours by the time his body was found.

Several “Glee” cast members took to Twitter to express their

feelings.

“I have no words! My heart is broken,” Dot-Marie Jones, who plays football coach Shannon Beiste, said in a post on her Twitter account Saturday night.

She called Monteith a “hell of a friend” and an “amazing” man.

Noah Puckerman actor Mark Salling said Sunday he was “going through a million memories and emotions today.”

Lauren Potter, who plays Becky Jackson, the cheerleader with Down Syndrome, tweeted that she feels “totally heartbroken right now.”

“I love Cory so much this hurts my heart,” she wrote. “I hope my Glee family is OK right now. I love them all. Cory was always so nice to me. I have so many good memories.”

Harry Shum Jr., who portrays dancer Mike Chang on the show, expressed disbelief on Twitter.

“This tragic news still doesn’t seem real to me,” said Shum. “I love you, Cory.”

John Stamos, who appeared as a guest star on several episodes of “Glee” tweeted: “Heartbreaking. RIP Cory. We talked about how lucky he felt to be alive-and sober. We talked about playing drums. Glad i knew you Cory.”

Monteith played drums in a California-based indie rock band Bonnie Dune.

Matthew Morrison, who plays glee club coach Will Schuester, issued condolences before performing at a Sunday afternoon show at the cabaret 54 Below in New York, according to the New York Times. The newspaper said he changed his opening number to sing an a cappella rendition of “What I Did for Love” from the musical, “A Chorus Line,” which was featured during the second season of “Glee.”

“You guys came to see a show, I came to perform a show, so that’s what we’ll do,” he said, according to the newspaper. “And we’ll do it in Cory’s honor.”

Sports

Spieth surges to historic win at John Deere Classic SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — It’s not hard to find some flaws in Jordan Spieth’s historic win at the John Deere Classic.

Sure, most of the world’s top golfers were a continent away preparing for Muirfield and this week’s British Open. And yes, even Spieth knows luck was one of the major reasons why he became the first teenager in more than eight decades to win on the PGA Tour.

Spieth’s ascension, however, isn’t a fluke.

The 19-year-old Texan simply affirmed why many view him as one of the world’s most promising young golfers.

Spieth rallied from as many as seven shots down Sunday and took down Zach Johnson — a Masters

winner and a defending champion playing in his hometown event — to notch his first career PGA Tour win in a grueling five-hole, three-man playoff.

He did it by thinking like a kid — and playing like a future star.

“This is my view on it, which is a 19-year-old’s view, so don’t hold me to it in a few years. But my view on it is you want to approach it the same way I approach being in contention in a college event,” said Spieth, just a year removed from a one-and-done career with the Longhorns that he finished as an All-American. “If you start thinking ahead, you start thinking Augusta, you start thinking playoffs, you start thinking winning, it’s difficult.”

It’s hard to not start thinking

ahead to the Masters, the FedEx Cup and more victories for Spieth after his run through the par-71 TPC Deere Run. The Dallas native, who was tied for second in Puerto Rico in March, opened the tournament with a 1-under 70. But once Spieth figured out the course, he notched three straight 65s to finish at 19-under 265 and give himself a chance at victory.

The one stroke everyone will remember was certainly fortunate — and undoubtedly gutsy.

Spieth was in a deep bunker to the right of the green on No. 18 at the end of regulation. Though there were groups ahead of him with golf yet to play, Spieth knew he probably needed to hole out to have a shot at a playoff.

Manziel pleads guilty to misdemeanor charge COLLEGE STATION (AP) — Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor stemming from a 2012 bar fight near campus, closing a case that had dogged his Heisman Trophy-winning season.

Manziel admitted he failed to identify himself to police following the altercation. As part of a plea deal, other charges against the 20-year-old, including disorderly conduct, were dismissed.

Brazos County Attorney Rod Anderson says Manziel was ordered to pay a $2,000 fine, about $230 in court costs and was credited with the overnight jail time he served following his arrest. He had faced up to 180 days in jail for the June 2012 incident.

Police said an officer on bike patrol had intervened to break up a fight between Manziel and Marvin McKinney just after 2 a.m. in a street in the Northgate entertainment district. McKinney told police that a friend of Manziel’s had called him a racial slur. He said Manziel shoved McKinney as he approved the two, and then they exchanged punches.

When officers asked Manziel for an ID, he produced a phony Louisiana driver’s license that showed his birthday as Dec. 6, 1990. Police checked Manziel’s wallet and found two more ID cards — a fake Texas driver’s license and Manziel’s real driver’s license that listed his date of birth as Dec. 6, 1992.

The quarterback dubbed Johnny Football piled up 4,600 total yards last season and helped the Aggies knock off No. 1 Alabama on the road. He became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy and has continued to garner headlines in the offseason.

He has been famously photographed partying and gambling, and even his decision to take classes online last semester became controversial. Manziel said his decision to limit himself exclusively to the virtual classroom was a reaction to the attention he was receiving on campus, though he expects to return to regular classes this summer and next fall.

Not long ago, he tweeted that he “can’t wait to leave college station... whenever it may be.”

“Don’t ever forget that I love A&M with all of my heart, but please please walk a day in my shoes,” he added.

Manziel even drew attention this weekend after leaving the Manning family’s football camp in Louisiana a day early, citing illness.
