CAMPUS

Campus carry Senate Bill 11 now in effect on campus, across Texas

By MCKENZI MORRIS Editor-in-Chief

O

n Monday, Senate Bill 11 went into effect at higher education institutions across Texas.

The bill, otherwise known as Campus Carry, allows concealed handgun license holders to carry concealed handguns on college campuses and into certain buildings.

Texas Tech Operating Policy 10.22 provides the procedures for concealed carry on campus and will be reviewed during the August of even-numbered years. The policy is intended to fill the requirements of Texas Government Code Section 411.2031.

Last spring the Campus Carry Committee, a task force including university faculty and students, was created to help provide the Board of Regents and Tech president with recommendations about campus carry at Tech.

Under Senate Bill 11, each school’s Board of Regents were required to review the Campus Carry recommendations brought to them by their task force, but the final approval must come from the university president.

“The implementation of SB 11 at Texas Tech University represents the input of faculty, students and staff gathered through events and surveys coordinated by the Campus Carry Task Force and the Student Government Task Force,” University President Lawrence Schovanec said in an emailed statement.

Schovanec said signs have been posted around campus regarding both open carry and campus carry, and guidelines have been set through Operating Policy 10.22.

There are several exclusionary zones on campus, according to the policy, where concealed carry is not prohibited.

Under state law, people may not carry a handgun where a high school, collegiate or professional sporting event is occurring.

Concealed carry is also prohibited in places where UIL competitions, Board of Regents meetings, official governmental meetings, judicial proceedings, polling locations for local, state and federal elections and any place minors are present.

On campus locations where concealed carry in not allowed includes the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center, Kent Hance Chapel, any area where professional counseling services are provided, designated research laboratories, any event where alcohol is being served under Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission ruled and regulations and performance venues during ticketed events.

The only way an area can be deemed an exclusionary zone, according to Operating Policy, is by state law or the university president.

The Campus Carry Committee will advise Schovanec on any issues the campus is facing involving Senate Bill 11, he said in his emailed statement, which includes requests for exclusion.

Concealed carry in not allowed in residence halls, according to Operating Policy 10.22, except in apartment and suite-style housing areas. This includes Carpenter/ Wells, Murray, Talkington and West Village.

In order for a student to have a handgun in their on-campus housing area, a university-approved gun safe must be installed into the room and the handgun must be stored there.

Training and educational initiatives will be implemented in the fall, Schovanec said, to help provide a safe campus for the Tech community.

Tech Police Department is now providing people with information about Campus Carry at the Red Raider Orientation Resource Fair and Public Relations and Crime Prevention Corporal Amy Ivey said she will be giving 30 minute to one hour presenta-

tions to different campus departments later in the month.

Displaying a handgun in plain view in prohibited, according to Operating Police 10.22, which is one of the main differences between open carry and Campus Carry.

Because the two types of carrying are not the same, Ivey said if people see anyone not following Campus Carry guidelines they should call the police.

“Campus carry is not open carry, so if (people) see somebody that is open carrying or carrying in an exclusionary zone (the should) contact the police department and we’ll send an officer out there to handle the situation,” Ivey said.

The Tech Police Department does not foresee any issues with campus carry now that it has been implemented, Ivey said, mainly because concealed carry has been allowed in open areas of campus since 1995.

“We can’t predict the future,” Ivey said, “but if there are any problems that arise we’re more than to help anybody out with resources and get them the information they need if they have any questions.”

Any suggests about implementing Campus Carry on Tech’s campus should be di-

CITY

City officials announce appreciation night

By MICHAEL CANTU News Editor

In a news conference attended by representatives of 16 Lubbock community banks, officials from United Supermarkets and the City of Lubbock on Monday, Lubbock’s first Law Enforcement Appreciation Night was announced.

The event, which will take place Wednesday from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Buddy Holly Recreational Area Pavilion at 600 North University Avenue, will honor law enforcement officials throughout the city of Lubbock, Barry Orr, chairman and chief executive officer of

FirstBank & Trust said.

“We want to invite you to come out, bring the kids, bring the picnic blankets, bring the lawn chairs,” Orr said. “Come out and just enjoy a night to let these guys know how much we appreciate them.”

These sponsors, along with the Parks and Recreation Department, have a full evening planned with a soundstage and games, he said.

Parking for the event will be available on the northwest side of the pavilion as well as along Cesar E. Chavez Drive, Bridget Faulkenberry, director of the Parks and Recreation Department said.

There will also be parking

attendants and golf carts to help shuttle people to and from their parking spots if needed, she said.

“I cannot express how thrilled we are, the Parks Department and the City of Lubbock, to be partnering up with the community planning such an honorable event,” Faulkenberry said.

“We hope we can be a part to make it as fun as it can be for everyone.”

For Lubbock Police Chief Greg Stevens, an event like this is what all law enforcement officials deserve because of the details of their job, he said.

“I and the command staff

Balloon pilot convicted of drunken driving 4 times LOCKHART, Texas (AP) — The pilot of a hot air balloon that crashed in Texas, killing 16 people, was able to keep flying despite having at least four convictions for drunken driving in Missouri and twice spending time in prison.

Whether the pilot’s drinking habits had anything to do with the crash is unclear. A former girlfriend described Alfred “Skip” Nichols as a recovering alcoholic. She said he had been sober for at least four years and never piloted a balloon after drinking.

Nichols, who had been stripped of his driver’s license at least twice, “couldn’t drive a car but he could pilot a hot-air balloon,” said an attorney who represented a passenger who sued Nichols in 2013. The passenger said she was hurt when Nichols crash-landed a balloon in the St. Louis suburbs.

The 49-year-old pilot also had a long history of customer complaints against

his balloon-ride companies in Missouri and Illinois dating back to 1997. Customers reported to the Better Business Bureau that their rides would get canceled at the last minute and their fees never refunded.

When pilots apply for a ballooning certificate with the Federal Aviation Administration, they are not required to disclose any prior drunken driving convictions, only drug convictions, said Balloon Federation of America spokesman Patrick Cannon, who called that a loophole in the law. He noted that the ballooning certificate specifically says not to include alcohol offenses involving a motor vehicle, as those are covered on the FAA’s medical application. But balloon and hang-glider pilots, among others, are exempt from having to submit a medical application.

Nichols got his commercial license to pilot hot-air

balloons in Missouri in July 1996. That predates his 2000 felony drug conviction. His first drunken driving conviction came in 1990. All pilots are supposed to notify the FAA within 60 days of a drug or alcohol conviction. However, Cannon said there is no oversight of that reporting.

Nichols pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated in St. Louis County in 1990, then twice in 2002 and again in 2010, according to online court records.

He was also convicted of a drug crime in 2000 and spent about a year and a half in prison before being paroled.

He was returned to prison in April 2010 after his parole was revoked because of his drunken driving conviction that year. He was paroled again in January 2012.

The former girlfriend, Wendy Bartch, said Nichols “did not fly when he wasn’t supposed to. Having other people’s lives at stake was Skip’s primary concern.”

of the police department — We’re only successful when they are (too),” Stevens said.

“It’s not me that goes out each and every day, I’m not out in the middle of the night keeping our city safe, keeping our citizens safe, it’s (police officers) that are doing that.”

It is through an event like this, he said, that there can be an expression of mutual gratitude from both citizens and law enforcement officers. The only reason law enforcement exist is because of the needs of society, he said, and community support is always needed.

event, Stevens spoke on behalf of all of Lubbock law enforcement to give their thanks.

“With things like this — I follow a saying that the deed is all, but not the glory. It’s hard when someone or (a) waitress says, ‘hey, your bills covered,’ and (the person) is already gone,” Stevens said.

“People come up out of the blue and shake your hand, and you don’t really know what to say to them. How do you say thank you for the thank you? So we’re kind of stumped by that sometimes, so on behalf of that, thank you from us for doing this.” @MichaelCantuDT

US launches airstrikes targeting IS in Libya WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States launched multiple airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Libya on Monday, opening a new, more persistent front against the group at the request of the United Nationsbacked government, Libyan and U.S. officials said.

Fayez Serraj, the head of Libya’s U.N.-brokered presidency council, said in a televised statement that American warplanes attacked the IS bastion of Sirte on the Mediterranean in northern Libya. No U.S. ground forces will be deployed, he said.

The precision strikes, which targeted an Islamic State tank and vehicles, come amid growing concerns about the group’s increased threat to Europe and its ability to inspire attacks across the region, even though its numbers have been shrinking because of attacks from local forces and allied international troops.

“The presidency council, as the general army commander, has made a request for direct U.S. support to carry out specific airstrikes,” Serraj said. “The first strikes started today in positions in Sirte, causing major casualties.”

The strikes mark the start of a more intense American role in the fight against IS in Libya, as the U.S. steps in to assist the fragile, U.N.-backed government. They were the first strikes by the U.S. on the group in Libya since February.

Obama’s authorization for action in Sirte covers strikes, intelligence and surveillance, but not ground operations, according to a White House official, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about the strikes and requested anonymity.

Modern Christianity troubling B

ack when I was debating competitively there was a case I was told about and we would run that railed extremely hard against organized religion.

The thesis of it basically said there are so many instances of people going hard right for whatever god they worshipped they would commit acts of violence and oppression in their name and feel as though they were making the world a better place.

There was a lot more nuance and details than that, but the gist of the whole argument was any type of religion has no place in society anymore, because it causes violence and hatred.

Once again, I’d like to point out it was a bit more detailed than that. I say this to avoid painting Texas Tech’s debate team as whole bunch of atheist know it alls — it’s all-inclusive.

Even though I did not fully agree with this argument, the apotheosis that I felt was to be highlighted was a small clause in the case that pointed out the hypocrisy of religious intolerance.

I see it today almost everywhere I go.

There was a time last November when I was helping a group of students competing

in Congressional Debate from my high school and they had the district meet in some church in south Lubbock.

While on a break I was looking around in the hall and noticed they had a pinned up poster that was promoting the outreach program they had.

It is not a secret to many Lubbock residents that of all parts north and east Lubbock need the most help when it comes to outreach.

However, this map showed their outreach centers were not in those areas, but a vast abundance of which were in west and south Lubbock.

Now I know I am only making insinuations at this point but there is more of a chance these outreach centers are not in the poorest parts of Lubbock because they were not meant to help the poorest parts of Lubbock.

My hope in this instance is I’m making all of the wrong assumptions, but I highly doubt that.

This is a perfect example of what I continually see

through Christianity. It is people who can quote the bible verses but do not put them to action.

By all means please correct me if I’m wrong, but to me the point behind any type of Christian doctrine is to help all of those in need. This includes the poor, naked, disenfranchised, etc.

I think as a whole we are all missing the point of what it means to do good deeds.

I’ll cite for you another source of my troubles. While I was still in high school and the president of our youth group at our little church in New Deal, my goal was to get everyone out of the church and into the streets.

We had a budget that could have allowed us to go on projects to help the poor and homeless, which were two vague but reasonable goals, but I was often stopped by the older folks who saw this onset of social welfare as a threat to their values.

I was continually stopped when it came to trying to get money out of the bank for clothes and sleeping bag donations — basically I wanted to get the money we raised to buy stuff for people who did not have anything.

I heard more than once something along the lines of “if they wanted some-

Tweets on Muslim vet disparage Trump NEW YORK (AP) — Fellow Republicans are joining the rising chorus of criticism of Donald Trump for his disparagement of the bereaved parents of U.S. Army Capt.

Humayun Khan, a Muslim who was awarded a Bronze

Star after he was killed in 2004 in Iraq.

The roll of GOP senators publicly taking Trump to task reached at least five on Monday, including John McCain of Arizona, who said in a statement that the fact that Trump won

his party’s nomination doesn’t give him “unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us.”

Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania said the Khans “deserve our gratitude and honor; anything else is inappropriate.”

thing they would be able to raise themselves up and get it themselves.”

Instead I was told to try and help plan a trip for all of us youths for the great job we had done — that too confused me because I remember doing nothing.

The point was all I ever see there is a reward for just going to church, not actually doing anything, just going.

That’s ridiculous.

And all I ever see or here from people on social media is their deification of themselves for being filled with the “holy spirit” and then going out doing nothing with it, whatever it is.

It seems to me now Christianity is just a talking point, we go to the church that makes us feel happy inside,

we share the same bible verses on our Facebook timeline and then we write Joshua 3:19 on our baseball cleats for good luck (I still have no idea what that means).

Then once we get out in public we yell at the gays for being gay, the Muslims for being Muslims and so on. Look at Kim Davis, the county clerk who basically was beatified by a lot of the protestant community for standing up for religious rights. If you ask me she was just being lazy.

It is points like these that nettle me with mode r n d a y C h r i s t i a n i t y.

There is no more subtlety associated with it. It has become braggadocious.

people’s own interpretation and is something personal, but the use of religion for purpose of ignorance has become extremely too prevalent in the year 2016. I could understand if we were still under King George’s rule in 1648, but we are not.

We have so many ways in which we can exchange facts and promote more peace, but instead all I see is people trying to push their own religious beliefs on others and it becomes unsettling.

Think about what it is you do with your words but most of all think about the person you are telling them to and test out if it is actually meaningful or hurtful.

Red Raiders earn all-academic awards Eight members of the Texas Tech track and field team received U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic honors on Thursday.

The Lady Raiders had six members earn a spot on the all-academic team, according to the Tech Athletics website, while the men had two.

Jocelyn Caro, Hannah Carson, Haley Cook, Trey Culver, Gionna Jackson, Shanice Stewart, Kyle Thompson and Reece Timmons were the eight Red Raiders to make the list.

In order to qualify for the all-academic team, studentathletes must have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 and have com-

pleted at least two semesters at their university according to the USTFCCCA website.

The athletes must also have either placed in the top 96 in any individual championship event or the top 48 for a relay championship event in the most recent indoor season, according to the USTFCCCA website, or have participated in any NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships competition.

For the 2015-2016 year, 910 women from 192 different colleges made the USTFCCCA All-Academic team, according to the USTFCCCA website, and 570 men from 161 colleges were recognized. @TheDT_sports

Expert to Rio athletes: ‘Don’t put your head under water’ RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Just days ahead of the Olympic Games the waterways of Rio de Janeiro are as filthy as ever, contaminated with raw human sewage teeming with dangerous viruses and bacteria, according to a 16-monthlong study commissioned by The Associated Press.

Not only are some 1,400 athletes at risk of getting violently ill in water competitions, but the AP’s tests indicate that tourists also face potentially serious health risks on the golden beaches

of Ipanema and Copacabana.

The AP’s survey of the aquatic Olympic and Paralympic venues has revealed consistent and dangerously high levels of viruses from the pollution, a major black eye on Rio’s Olympic project that has set off alarm bells among sailors, rowers and open-water swimmers.

In light of the findings, biomedical expert Valerie Harwood had one piece of advice for travelers to Rio: “Don’t put your head under water.”

at preventing raw sewage from flowing into the Gloria Marina through storm drains, the waters remain just as contaminated. The first sampling there, in March 2015, showed over 26 million adenoviruses per liter. This June, over 37 million adenoviruses per liter were detected.

The first results of the AP study published over a year ago showed viral levels at up to 1.7 million times what would be considered worrisome in the United States or Europe. At those concentra-

tions, swimmers and athletes who ingest just three teaspoons of water are almost certain to be infected with viruses that can cause stomach and respiratory illnesses and more rarely heart and brain inflammation — although whether they actually fall ill depends on a series of factors including the strength of the individual’s immune system.

Since the AP released the initial results last July, athletes have been taking elaborate precautions to prevent illnesses that could

potentially knock them out of the competition, including preventatively taking antibiotics, bleaching oars and donning plastic suits and gloves in a bid to limit contact with the water.

But antibiotics combat bacterial infections, not viruses. And the AP investigation found that infectious adenovirus readings — tested with cell cultures and verified with molecular biology protocols — turned up at nearly 90 percent of the test sites over 16 months of testing.

points are the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, where Olympic rowing will take place, and the Gloria Marina, the starting point for the sailing races.

Sampling at the Lagoon in March 2015 revealed an astounding 1.73 billion adenoviruses per liter. By this June, adenovirus readings were lower but still hairraising at 248 million adenoviruses per liter. By comparison, in California, viral readings in the thousands per liter set off alarm bells.

Skydiver becomes first to jump and land without chute LOS ANGELES (AP) — After leaping from an airplane, Luke Aikins rocketed toward earth for two minutes, and then calmly flipped onto his back at the last second and landed in a 100-by100-foot net in California.

Cheers rose from those who gathered at the Big Sky movie ranch on the outskirts of Simi Valley to watch the stunt, including his family.

The 42-year-old skydiver with more than 18,000 jumps made history as the first person to survive a leap without

a parachute and land safely in a net.

As the audience erupted, Aikins quickly climbed out, walked over and hugged his wife, Monica, who had been watching from the ground with their 4-year-old son, Logan, and other family members.

“I’m almost levitating. It’s incredible,” the jubilant skydiver said, raising his hands over his head as his wife held their son, who dozed in her arms.

“This thing just happened! I can’t even get the

words out of my mouth,” he added as he thanked the dozens of crew members who spent two years helping him prepare for the jump, including those who assembled the fishing trawler-like net and made sure it really worked.

The jump — from the death-defying altitude of 25,000 feet — makes Aikins the only skydiver ever to go from plane to planet Earth without a parachute.

The stunt, broadcast live on the Fox network for the TV special “Stride Gum Presents

Heaven Sent,” nearly didn’t come off as planned when Aikins revealed just before climbing into his plane that the Screen Actors Guild had ordered him to wear a parachute to ensure his safety.

Aikins didn’t say what prompted the original restriction, but SAG spokeswoman Pamela Greenwalt said the union and producers “could not come to an agreement on the safest way to pursue this stunt and therefore we could not sanction it to go forward under a union agreement.”

Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins ends 1-day holdout HOUSTON (AP) — It was something Houston Texans general manager Rick Smith hoped wouldn’t drag out, and in the end it lasted just one day.

After missing the opening day of training camp, Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins ended his holdout Sunday following the Texans’ first practice.

T h e Te x a n s r e m o v e d Hopkins from the reserve/ did not report list and granted him reinstatement to the active list on Sunday afternoon.

Hopkins, who is sched-

uled to make $1 million in base salary this season, and the team were still in constant communication.

Smith said the dialogue was positive throughout the short holdout.

During the holdout, Hopkins was being fined $40,000 per day he missed, but now because of his return he will be able to cash in on a $445,004 roster bonus on Wednesday.

Hopkins is coming off the best season of his career with 1,521 yards receiving, thirdbest in the NFL, 111 receptions and 11 touchdowns.
