Senators ready to restore lower college loan rates WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan group of senators is announcing a deal that lets students dodge higher interest rates when they go back to campus this fall.

The group on Thursday told reporters they have reached a compromise that lowers the rates for all students who borrow from the federal government. The rates would be linked to financial markets, meaning interest rates would climb in coming years.

Democrats insisted on and won a cap on how rates could climb.

Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois says the bill does not give any negotiator everything he sought. But it provides relief for students who were facing interest rates that doubled to 6.8 percent on new loans.

The House has already passed similar legislation and the differences could be resolved before students return to campus.

IRS watchdog ‘disturbed’ agency withheld documents WASHINGTON (AP) — The investigator who wrote a scathing report about the Internal Revenue Service targeting tea party groups says he is “disturbed” the agency withheld newly-released documents showing progressive groups may also have been singled out for additional scrutiny.

In prepared testimony, J. Russell George told a congressional panel Thursday the IRS did not provide the documents to his office during a yearlong audit. George said he just received the documents last week.

George issued a report in May that said IRS agents in a Cincinnati office improperly singled out groups with “tea party” and other conservative labels for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status during the 2010 and 2012 elections.

George’s report blamed ineffective management for allowing the practice to continue for more than 18 months, delaying hundreds of applications for more than a year.

Since the revelations were made public, three congressional committees and the Justice Department launched investigations and much of the top leadership — including the acting commissioner — of the IRS was replaced.

“The reason the report focuses on the terms “Tea Party,” ‘’Patriots”, and “9/12” is that the IRS provided us a document at the beginning of our audit that shows these were the terms they used to select the potential political cases,” George said in prepared testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Perry signs Texas abortion restrictions AUSTIN (AP) — Texas Gov. Rick Perry signed sweeping new abortion restrictions on Thursday that could shutter most of the state’s clinics that provide the procedure, a final step for the Republicanbacked measure after weeks of sometimes raucous protests at the state Capitol.

Supporters credited God’s will and prayer as the governor signed the legislation, with protesters’ chants of “Shame!

Shame! Shame!” echoing from the hallway. Opponents have vowed to fight the law, though no court challenges were immediately filed.

“Today, we celebrate the further cementing of the foundation on which the culture of life in Texas is built upon,” Perry told an auditorium full of beaming GOP lawmakers and anti-abortion activists. “It is our responsibility and duty to give voice to the unborn individuals.”

The law restricts abortions to surgical centers and requires doctors who work at abortion clinics to have hospital admitting privileges. Only five of the 42 abortion clinics in Texas — the nation’s

second-largest state — currently meet those new requirements. Clinics will have a year to either upgrade their facilities or shut down after the law takes effect in October.

The law also bans abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy, based on the disputed notion that fetuses can feel pain at that point of development, and dictates when abortion-inducing drugs can be taken.

Supporters argue the new law will ensure high-quality health care for women, but opponents view it as over-regulation intended to make abortions harder to obtain.

Similar measures in other states have been blocked by federal judges, and opponents in Texas said they would pursue a similar course.

“The fight over this law will move to the courts, while the bigger fight for women’s access to health care in Texas gains steam,” Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said in a statement.

Perry and other top Republican leaders made passing the law a top priority, in part to please the most conservative wing of the party before the primary election in March. But it touched off weeks of protests that saw thousands of activists on both sides of the issue descend on the Texas Capitol in an outpouring of activism unseen in at least 20 years.

After the regular legislative session ended May 27, Perry added passing the abortion measure to lawmakers’ agenda for a 30-day special session. But on the last day to pass bills, Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis staged a more than 12hour, one-woman filibuster hoping to talk past a midnight deadline and kill the legislation.

Republicans used parliamentary objections to silence Davis, but just before midnight hundreds of bill opponents in the Senate gallery screamed and cheered so loudly that all work stopped on the Senate floor below until it was too late. It launched Davis into an overnight political sensation.

SGA members attend leadership conference

By ASHLYN TUBBS Photo Editor

Last weekend, Texas Tech Student Government Association members had the opportunity to leave Lubbock and stay in Orlando, Fla. Their minds were still focused on improving their university, though.

The SGA members joined about 200 students from 40 colleges to strengthen their leadership skills at the 2013 American Student Government Association conference.

“The main point that we went for was a building point as a team,” said Olivia Oms, SGA director of public relations and graduate accounting student from Albuquerque, N.M., “to come together and to build those skills so they can be the best team that SGA has had.”

The conference hosted several different sessions that the SGA members each split up to attend. Daniel Yates, SGA graduate vice president and a graduate biology student from Katy, said he attended a session titled Origins of War: Communication, Miscommunication and Non-Communication.

“Basically it outlined really simple techniques on how to communicate better

to your team,” he said, “because a lot of it is when you delegate a task to someone, they might not fully understand what the task is and just understanding it better really helps them complete that task instead of you getting frustrated at them for not completing it.”

During the conference, SGA members met with the University of Central Florida’s SGA to see how they manage their population of 60,000 students.

SGA president Luke Cotton said Tech is beating UCF’s SGA in some areas, and lacking in others. For example, he said UCF’s SGA president purchased a food truck and spent $12,000 on her election.

“Here at Texas Tech, we spent less than $600 on our campaign and had a higher voter turnout than they did,” the junior global suppy chain management major from League City said. “That was a really good thing that made me happy.”

Peyton Craig, external vice president and a junior political science major from Houston, said UCF has the growth Tech is aspiring for, and the Tech SGA members admired UCF’s sustainability programs.

HSC professor gives farewell lecture

Texas Tech was ranked 47th in the country for Hispanic Baccalaureate Degrees by the Diverse Issues in Higher Education Magazine.

The annual list, whose appearance resembles the U.S. News and World Report rankings, was published in the July issue of the magazine, said Juan Munoz, senior vice president of the Institute of Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement and the vice provost of undergraduate education and student affairs.

Because Tech is not located by a major metropolitan area such as universities in areas like Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles or New York City, Munoz said being ranked in the top 50 schools is an accomplishment.

“When you consider there are a few thousand schools and colleges across the country,” he said, “to be anywhere within that range of top 50 is pretty extraordinary.”

The ranking, Munoz said, affirms Tech is a campus where Hispanic students succeed.

Service and teaching were his fountains of youth during his 35 years at Texas Tech, but for Thomas McGovern it was time to move on.

The professor of psychiatry at Tech Health Sciences Center and director of the Center for Ethics, Humanities and Spirituality gave his farewell address to an audience of friends, family and co-workers as he prepares to move to California to be closer to family at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Museum of Tech.

“Early on in my life, blessedly, I found the fountain of youth in teaching and in service, and I’ve been young ever since,” McGovern said. “And I think that’s what keeps us young.”

McGovern has been an important part of the Lubbock and Tech communities since moving to the city about 50 years ago, HSC President Dr. Tedd Mitchell said.

“Dr. McGovern has been one of the pillars of our community, not just at the Health Sciences Center but at Texas Tech in general and in the Lubbock community for years and years and years,” he said.

But Perry called lawmakers back for a second special session — setting up the bill’s final approval last week.

“When Governor Perry signed the bill, he signaled a clear break with Texas families,” Davis said in a statement Thursday.

She said Perry and his party’s elected officials “have now taken sides and chosen narrow partisan special interests over mothers, daughters, sisters and every Texan who puts the health of their family, the well-being of their neighbors, and the future of Texas ahead of politics and personal ambitions.”

The signing ceremony was moved from Perry’s office on the second floor of the Capitol to a basement auditorium, surrounded by dozens of state troopers who tightly controlled who entered and braced for potentially hundreds of activists. Instead, only about two dozen showed up, clutching coat-hangers and signs that read “My Body, My Choice” and “Shame!”

was signed, they hooted and then sang Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It!” Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who oversees the state Senate, blamed “intentional chaos created by the radical left” for the bill not passing sooner.

That was a common sentiment among supporters. The Catholic Association said in a statement: “Rick Perry is a brave man for standing up to the mob tactics of

the abortion lobby and has earned the respect of pro-life women and men across the country.”

Republican Rep. Jodie Laubenberg, who sponsored the bill in the Texas House and mistakenly suggested during debate that emergency room rape kits could be used to terminate pregnancies, said: “It really was the hand of God” and prayer that helped make the signing possible. Laubenberg told Perry,

who announced last week that he wouldn’t seek a fourth full term as governor next year, that: “Your eternal legacy will be as a defender of life.”

Sen. Glenn Hegar, a Katy Republican who sponsored the bill in the Senate, called it “a very proud day in Texas history.”

“This will literally change the lives of millions of Texans,” Hegar said. “Not just today in 2013, but for eternity.”

The list also includes the total from the previous year, a percentage demonstrating the number of minority degree recipients compared to the institution’s total degree recipients, and a second percentage showing the change in a school’s minority group graduation rate from the previous year, according to the website.

Tech’s programs such as the Hispanic Scholarship Foundation, student organizations, events and

programs celebrating Hispanic heritage, Munoz said, helped contribute to Tech’s ranking.

“This ranking is the result of the aspirations of high achieving students,” he said, “a campus that believes in excellence for all, and a university-wide commitment to success.”

In the 2013 ranking, Munoz said Tech also ranked 47th for Native American Baccalaureate degrees and 88th in overall minority degrees.

SGA↵

Tech SGA is on par with its allocation funding process to student organizations compared to UCF, Yates said. Tech SGA has a committee handle all applications for funding once a year and then writes a bill about it to discuss. At UCF, each student organization has to contact the senator to write a bill, and so there are three or four student organization representatives at each of their weekly meetings.

“That came off to us as slightly ineffective,” he said, “because their meetings are running four hours every single week.”

At the conference, other strengths noticeable for Tech SGA were the safe ride home

program, which serves thousands of students each month and graduate presentation on the executive branch, Yates said.

“That’s very important, especially since we’re trying to grow our graduate student population,” he said. “We’re recommitting to research here at this university, so it’s really important we have that.”

The SGA members in attendance agreed the conference proved how well they work together.

“We kind of just learned our strengths,” Oms said, “and we run a really lean student government.”

Senate clears way for vote on Obama EPA pick WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate cleared the way Thursday for final approval of President Barack Obama’s pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency, hours after confirming a new labor secretary.

Senators voted 69-31 Thursday to overcome Republican objections that have blocked a vote on Gina McCarthy to head the EPA, nine votes more than are needed to end filibusters. Democrats consider McCarthy, who since 2009 has headed the agency’s air pollution office, to be a longtime environmental champion while Republicans say that she has helped issue regulations that hurt the economy and cost jobs.

McCarthy worked for years as a state environmental official in New England, working at times under Republican governors, including 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney when he was governor of Massachusetts.

“Gina McCarthy knows how to bring people together,” said Sen. Rich-

ard Blumenthal, D-Conn.

The Senate planned to give final approval to McCarthy’s nomination soon, though the exact timing was unclear.

Earlier Thursday, senators confirmed Thomas Perez to head the Labor Department on a 54-46 party-line vote.

The day’s votes marked the latest, sudden progress for Obama in filling his second-term leadership team. The movement followed this week’s bipartisan deal in which Republicans agreed to end blockades against seven nominations and Democrats shelved efforts to change Senate rules to weaken the minority GOP’s powers.

Perez, 51, is a son of Dominican immigrants who once worked as a trash collector. Since earning a Harvard University law degree, his career has included stints as a Justice Department civil rights prosecutor and an aide to Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., before taking over Justice’s civil rights division in 2009.

Youth brought to US illegally leave to test law LOS ANGELES (AP) — Three immigrant activists who were brought to the United States illegally as children have traveled to Mexico and plan to challenge American immigration laws by showing up at a border crossing and demanding to be allowed to back in.

Under U.S. law, all three have been living in the country illegally even though they grew up in America. The three, members of the National Immigrant Youth Alliance, want to draw attention to the law and the huge jump in deportations carried out under the Obama administration, and to reaffirm their attachment to the country where they were raised.

“I know you’re going to think that

I’m crazy for doing this, for leaving the U.S., for coming to Mexico but, to be honest, I think it is crazier that I had to wait 15 years to see my family,” Lizbeth Mateo, one of the activists, said in a video posted on the Alliance’s Facebook page.

Mateo told The Associated Press that she was happy to visit her family there but hoped to return to the country before August to study law at Santa Clara University.

Mateo traveled to Oaxaca a week ago, while the two other unidentified activists — one who has applied for a government program that lets young immigrants live in the U.S. on renewable two-year stays — went to Mexico on Wednesday, said Domenic Powell,

one of the Alliance’s founders.

Powell declined to say where they will attempt to re-enter the country, but said it would occur Monday. He said the organization doesn’t want to divulge information because it wants to see how agents from Customs and Border Protection react when they encounter the three.

The activists will meet up with other young people who were deported or left the U.S. voluntarily and will submit applications to legally enter the country, said Prerna Lal, an Alliance member.

Customs and Border Protection did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Deportations have exploded in

recent years, topping 400,000 in 2012, more than double the number seven years earlier. U.S. lawmakers are debating an overhaul to the country’s immigration system that could include a fix for immigrants who were brought in illegally as children.

Many have grown up in America and have no recollection of life in another country, but they have no legal status in the U.S. “Whether immigration reform happens or not, they should be here in the U.S. because they live here and this is their home,” said Powell, whose group in the past has organized sit-ins in politicians’ offices over the administration’s immigration policies.

Obama talks up health care rebates, lower premiums WASHINGTON (AP) — Disputing Republican criticism of his health care plan, President Barack Obama said Thursday the law is working and cutting costs for consumers with insurance company rebates and the promise of lower premiums.

At a White House event, Obama drew attention to $500 million in rebates going to nearly 9 million people under a provision of the law he said is holding insurance companies more accountable to their customers.

Insurers must spend at least 80 cents of every dollar on medical

care or quality improvement, or refund the difference. That’s the $500 million consumers are getting in rebates averaging about $100.

For Americans who get insurance through their work, the rebates go to their employers to be refunded or used to lower premiums.

“If they’re not spending your premium dollars on health care, they have to give you some money back,” said the president, appearing with a group of health care consumers in the East Room. Obama also noted that some states, ahead of the law’s requirement that most Americans obtain health insur-

that power,” he said. “So we’ve learned in the future when the Texas Senate and House is in session, there are some issues we could say, like how we would really like to be empowered so we can do more for our students like they’re doing in Florida.”

Another area Tech SGA members compared and contrasted themselves with UCF is their meeting styles, Yates said.

“It was very different from ours,” he said. “We saw some things we could take from them and some things we’re doing really well compared to them.

They meet every week and so theirs get really casual, naturally.”

ance, are anticipating lower premiums because of health insurance marketplaces that are being set up under the law so consumers can comparison shop for the coverage.

Among those states are California, Oregon, Washington and New York.

Obama made his pitch a day after the Republican-controlled House voted for the 38th time to eliminate, cut funding or scale back the 3-year-old law since the GOP took control of the House in January 2011.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday the free

money sounds great but won’t remove the sting of new health care taxes that will begin costing consumers next year.

“Jacking up our constituents’ health care costs is bad enough, but to try to then convince them the opposite is happening - that they’ve actually won some Publishers Clearinghouse sweepstakes, well, it’s just as absurd as it sounds,” the Kentucky senator said on the floor of the Senate.

Obama dismissed the Republican criticism and the efforts in the House to roll back the law, saying he’s willing to consider Republican ideas but that he hasn’t heard any.

“What I’ve heard is the same old song and dance,” he said. “We’re just going to blow through that stuff and just keep on doing the right thing for the American people.”

Republicans say the law is unworkable and must be repealed, arguing it will hurt the economy and force employers to cut much-needed jobs. They say proof that the law is unworkable lies in the administration’s recent, unexpected decision to delay for one year, until after the 2014 elections, a requirement that businesses with 50 or more employees provide them with health care coverage or pay a penalty.

The GOP-controlled House on Wednesday passed, mostly along party lines, two bills to amend the law.

The House voted 264-161 to affirm the administration’s decision to delay what’s known as the employer mandate, the requirement that businesses of a specific size offer health care coverage to their workers. It also voted 251-174 to extend a similar delay to individuals who will be required to obtain health care coverage starting Jan. 1, or face fines.

HSC, said McGovern has been the conscience of the university because of his compassion and integrity.

While many people waver as the circumstances around them change, Stocco said consistency in his beliefs one of McGovern’s key traits.

The compassion Stocco sees in McGovern derives from McGovern’s battle with tuberculosis as a child.

“I think whatever I have learned in terms of compassion and caring for others, the groundwork for that was laid in those early years,” McGovern said, “because I was so beautifully cared for by people and I was in a beautiful, difficult struggle with many operations, but I was in a community where people cared about each other so early on, I became blessed with an appreciation for compassion.”

Although McGovern didn’t announce any plans to continue his work in California, Hartman said given McGovern’s nature of helping others, he doesn’t see McGovern retiring any time soon.

Along with serving as the Giles McCrary/Tom McGovern Endowed Chairman in ethics/humanities, it was announced that McGovern was named the Minnie Stevens Piper Professor award, a statewide honor given to 10 professors each year on Monday.

Dr. Ted Hartman, the former chairman of the Department of Orthopaedics at HSC, said he is sad to see McGovern go but is happy for the change in McGovern’s life.

The program for ethics McGovern pioneered, Hartman said, helped families make decisions about their loved ones, such as whether or not to keep a family member on life support.

“He was always upfront about knowing what we needed to do next in our teaching of ethics to the medical students,” he said. “And he was one of the pioneers nationwide in getting ethics into a curriculum in medical schools.”

Law firm admits leaking Rowling’s alter ego LONDON (AP) — The mystery has been solved.

A British law firm admitted Thursday that one of its partners inadvertently revealed that J.K. Rowling had authored a mystery novel, “The Cuckoo’s Calling.”

The Sunday Times newspaper revealed over the weekend that the “Harry Potter” author had penned the book under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

The newspaper said it had received a tip-off on Twitter, and there was speculation that Rowling or her publisher were behind the revelation — which has sent sales

of the thriller skyrocketing.

But law firm Russells said Thursday that one of its partners, Chris Gossage, had let the information slip to his wife’s best friend, Judith Callegari — the woman behind the tweet. Her Twitter account has now been deleted.

A phone message left for Callegari was not immediately returned.

Russells said in a statement that “we apologize unreservedly” to Rowling.

It said that while Gossage was culpable, “the disclosure was made in confidence to someone he trusted implicitly.”

Russells, a specialist in entertainment law, said it had informed Rowling

ATLANTA (AP) — If you’re 65 and living in Hawaii, here’s some good news: Odds are you’ll live another 21 years. And for all but five of those years, you’ll likely be in pretty good health.

Hawaii tops the charts in the government’s first state-by-state look at how long Americans age 65 can expect to live, on average, and how many of those remaining years will be healthy ones.

Retirement-age Mississippians fared worst, with only about 17½

more years remaining and nearly seven of them in poorer health.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Now he knows what it’s like to be a goldfish in a fishbowl.

Two days after his helmet flooded during a spacewalk, astronaut Luca Parmitano relived the experience Thursday, describing how water kept trickling into his helmet until big globs covered his eyes, then his nose. It was hard to see, he said, and he could not hear.

“For a couple of minutes there, maybe more than a couple of minutes, I experienced what it’s like to be a goldfish in a fishbowl — from the point of view of the goldfish,”

Parmitano said in a TV interview from the International Space Station.

Parmitano said he used his memory to make his way back into the space station. His spacewalking partner, Christopher Cassidy, was a big help.

The 36-year-old Italian Air Force officer said he was “miserable but OK” as Tuesday’s spacewalk came to an abrupt end.

“Imagine walking around with your eyes closed in a fishbowl. Really, that’s what was going on ... It’s just a very uncomfortable feeling to be with your face underwater for all that time,” he said.
