Student conduct office relocates from SUB The Office of Student Conduct relocated its office Friday.

The office, which previously was located in the basement of the Student Union Building, has relocated to suite 211 in the Student Wellness Center.

Sofia Chapman, director of the Office of Student Conduct, said the new location will provide easier access to students living off campus by increasing the parking availability.

Chapman said she believes the office’s new location will better suit the needs of students.

“We felt that the location moving would better serve our students when they need counseling,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity to provide additional support for our students.” ➤➤bjaffri@dailytoreador.com

Erskine Street closed for construction Erskine Street, between Texas Tech Parkway and Indiana Street, closed to through traffic for construction Monday.

According to a letter distributed to residents from The Republic and University Courtyard, crews will work on improvements for storm water drainage.

The project is expected to last several months.

The construction affects residents at the University Courtyard and The Republic at Lubbock apartments, according to the notices. To enter the apartment complexes residents are encouraged to use Memphis Avenue from Loop 289, according to the letter.

On the first day of class, Brecka Moore, a sophomore exercise and sports science major from Breckenridge, experienced problems with the construction when she left for class from The Republic.

“It made it a lot more difficult to get to school and get back to my house,” she said. “It took me like an extra 10 minutes, and then when I go to work I’m going to have to leave my house like 30 minutes early. It’s super inconvenient.”

Student uses talents to help end sex slavery

By ALI WILLINGHAM Staff Writer

What started as a hobby has turned into an unexpected opportunity for Caleb Fisher to make an impact on the world.

Fisher, a senior marketing and energy commerce major from Wichita Falls, said he has been making videos and doing videography for four years.

“I first learned how to make videos when I was working with my church back home in Wichita Falls,” he said.

Fisher said he transferred to Texas Tech about a year ago and missed making videos.

“I decided to pursue making wedding videos and filming weddings,” he said.

More people began asking for videos, so Fisher said he wanted to make the hobby more official.

Recently, Fisher created his own business named C. Fisher Productions, where he films and edits videos, and announced 10 percent of the profits made would be donated to the International Justice Mission to help put an end to human trafficking and sex slavery.

“The night before I decided this, I was browsing Facebook and one of my buddies shared a video and it was about human trafficking and sex slavery,” he said. “I always kind of heard about what a big deal it is, but never really looked into it or heard about it.”

Fisher said the video opened his eyes to see what a big deal it is.

“I was making my business, like making the logo and stuff like that, and then I watched this video at the same time and so it just kind of hit me that it would be a good opportunity to raise funds to donate to that,” he said.

Fisher said as he hopes to donate more profits to the International Justice Mission after graduating college.

CALEB FISHER, A senior marketing and energy commerce major from Wichita Falls, owns a videography business, C. Fisher Productions, and creates videos for weddings and organizations. Fisher donates 10 percent of his earnings to organizations to prevent human trafficking.

“Hopefully, as I start making more money and get a real job, graduate college and stuff like that, I’ll be able to donate 100 percent as time goes on,” he said.

Fisher said he wanted to be able to keep his services relatively low priced and still be able to donate his profits to something he thinks is important.

One of Fisher’s friends from high school, Chase Roberts, said he and Fisher learned video editing together through their hometown church.

“It’s cool to see him use his God-given talents to give back to others,” said the Texas A&M University junior. “I wasn’t surprised one bit when he did it because that’s just his character to use his talents for God’s glory.”

Roberts said Fisher has an amazing eye for video.

“When you start making a video, it’s just like a painting,” he said. “You don’t have someone else paint for you. It’s your painting.”

After walking into the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center, senior Brooks Barrett immediately offered his assistance to each student with a smile on his face.

Texas Tech was named the third happiest university to work at by the CareerBliss website. Tech earned the title by providing both students and long-time faculty and staff members with the ability to greet their work ahead of them with a smile.

Both Barrett and junior Daniel Vargas agreed one of the big reasons they enjoy their job was the scheduling available for students.

“It’s exciting and it’s going to make a huge difference,” Self said.

Video is a big part of society, Self said, and people will use videos to make a difference on an escalated scale.

The Lubbock community is seeing its own revolution in terms of gathering support for the legalization of marijuana.

The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws is one of the organizations putting its message to the forefront of legalizing marijuana. As part of its rally for support, NORML hosted an educational event Friday and Saturday at the O-Bar, which had pro-marijuana vendors and speakers.

“The mission statement of our chapter is to move public opinion sufficiently to see an end to marijuana prohibition, so that responsible use of cannabis by adults is no ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

longer subject to penalty,” said Colt Smith, executive director for NORML. “NORML supports the removal of all penalties for the private possession of cannabis by adults, cultivation for personal use and the casual nonprofit transfers of small amounts,” read the brochure handed out by NORML volunteers.

The brochure also lists the medical benefits, industrial use and recreational use of cannabis and hemp.

Smith said the organization is spreading the message that people are often misinformed about the subject of marijuana use and that marijuana or cannabis has many health benefits.

“I’m working at a place right now that it does work with my hours,” Vargas said.

“It’s very flexible and they do help.”

Vargas, a human development major from El Paso said it’s very relieving when stressed.

He is one of five student managers at Sam’s West and said as a student manager his job is to make sure everything runs efficiently and smoothly and get on the line if they need help.

“It’s showing you can go to school, have a good GPA and then also work,” Vargas said.

Barrett, the Rec Center’s manger, said it’s nice to have so much responsibility given to him.

Women’s studies host tweet chat

By AMY CUNNINGHAM Staff Writer

The Women’s Studies Program hosted a tweet chat Monday in commemoration of Women’s Equality Day. From 2 to 4 p.m., the Twitter account @TTUWSP responded to tweets using #WED2013.

Faculty, staff and students, including Patricia Earl, Women’s Studies unit coordinator, and Lakeiva Council, a junior energy commerce major from Houston, moderated the Twitter event.

This is the second annual tweet chat the program has hosted for Women’s Equality Day, Earl said.

According to the program’s website,

CIRCULATION: 806-742-3388

women’s studies courses aim to modify the social and political concepts of gender and is available as an undergraduate minor.

Women’s Equality Day memorializes the 93rd anniversary of the passing of the 19th Amendment, which provided women with the right to vote, according to the program’s website.

Since 1971, every president has issued a proclamation for Women’s Equality Day. In the official proclamation released Friday, President Barack Obama said the day recognizes the ongoing efforts of the equality movement in addition to the progress of women throughout history. The administration wants to empower women all around the world, he said.

“My message to young adults,” Smith said, “would be: please educate yourself on what is factual, please understand what the plant really is and what it’s not.”

Among the speakers at the event was Terry Nelson, executive vice chairman for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition.

Nelson said LEAP’s goal is to regulate and control the use of all drugs to take better control of the use of harmful substances.

“Once we legalize it and control it, (it) will cure about 80 percent of our crime and violence,” Nelson said. “And we can deal with our drug issues per educational treatment instead of arrests and incarceration.”

Nelson said he doesn’t believe children should be allowed to use

drugs, but adults should have the freedom to consume what they want.

Smith and Nelson both agreed they wanted to see more young people take an active role in who represents them in the government.

“Most importantly to the young people, you have to get out and vote,” Nelson said. “You have to make the decisions.”

He said the prohibition of marijuana and other hardcore drugs has lead to major losses in money for the U.S. government, which could be put to better use.

“So I think we’re on the verge of making a breakthrough here and winning this,” Nelson said. “People are getting tired. In 40 years of the drug war, we’ve spent $1.3 trillion and it made no difference. Drugs are easier to get, far stronger than they used to be and cheaper.” ➤➤mgonzales@dailytoreador.com

A controversial sign attracted students to the Free Speech Area on Monday as a retired Texas State University professor discussed various issues with students.

Lubbock native Kenny Tucker held a sign, which referred to the controversy involving Paula Deen, who admitted to using a racial slur. Though the sign was the item that grabbed students’ attention, Tucker used his time to teach.

He said he refers to himself as a “street teacher” who has a passion for young people.

Tucker has spent nearly 50 years of his life teaching, he said, starting out as a sixth-grade class teaching assistant and making his way to professor in 1975.

Since his retirement from Texas State in 2004, Tucker said he has spent time serving as a substitute teacher. He prefers to integrate his street teaching in the classroom by talking to his students about life.

For each class he teaches, he said he likes to save 20 minutes to give the students advice. Tucker considers himself to be a student-centered teacher rather than a curriculum-centered teacher, meaning he likes to find what motivates individual students.

The Texas Tech campus, he said, seemed like an obvious choice as a place to broaden his audience of young minds.

“Freedom ain’t free. Nobody can free you. You have to free yourself,” Tucker said. “You can’t focus on your color — focus on performance. That color stuff is sick, man.”

HELEN HAILU, A senior public relations major from Dallas, discusses with Kenny Tucker, a retired Texas State professor who spoke on Monday at the Free Speech Area of the Student Union Building.

Daniel Tesfai, a senior industrial engineering major from Carrollton, said he believed Tucker had a strong message.

“The sign could be misconceived, but after I heard his message, I learned he had positive things to say to uplift the black community,” he said.

Although the sign seemed to ignite conversations regarding race, Tucker said he aimed to talk to students about many other issues. Tucker used the sign to his advantage as an attention grabber to talk to students about issues he thought were prevalent.

“I’ll warn you. Don’t let this happen to you,” Tucker said. “Don’t grow old and be broke and don’t grow old and not have any friends. If you get that, you’re in big trouble.”

Though Tucker took the opportunity to talk about more than Paula Deen’s controversy, some students did not interpret it as so.

Fallon Smiley, a sophomore horticulture and turfgrass sciences major from Kingwood, took the opportunity to discuss her opinion on Deen’s matter.

“I think the sign is funny,” she said.

“I see it as she said it so many years ago

and it was more or less not just about her saying the N-word.”

Tucker said he wanted to leave students with a lasting impression.

His main goals, he said, were to teach students about finding their personal truths and also to come together as a generation to fix problems facing the world’s youth.

“Five police came and talked to me because people complained,” Tucker said. “We’re up against people complaining about free speech. We are in trouble.” ➤➤cgrunden@dailytoreador.com

United Nations at site of alleged chemical attack in Syria DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — U.N. experts collected samples and testimony from Syrian doctors and victims of an alleged chemical weapons attack Monday following a treacherous journey through government and rebel-held territory, where their convoy was hit by snipers.

As U.S. officials said there was very little doubt that Syria used chemical weapons and Western powers stepped up calls for swift military action, President Bashar Assad’s government vowed to defend itself against any international attack, warning that such an intervention would ignite turmoil across the region.

It also would bring the U.S. closer to a conflict that has killed more than 100,000 people

since Assad cracked down on Arab Spring-inspired protesters in March 2011.

Syria’s civil war has been increasingly defined by sectarian killings between the Sunni-led rebellion and Assad’s regime, dominated by Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

It would essentially pit the U.S. and regional allies Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar in a proxy war against Iran, which is providing weapons to the Syrian government’s counterinsurgency, along with Hezbollah, the militant Lebanese group that also has aided Assad’s forces militarily.

Deputy Foreign Minister Faysal Mikdad told The Associated Press in an interview in Damascus that such an attack would trigger “chaos in the en-

tire world.”

“If individual countries want to pursue aggressive and adventurous policies, the natural answer ... would be that Syria, which has been fighting against terrorism for almost three years, will also defend itself against any international attack,” he added.

Assad told a Russian newspaper that any military campaign against his country was destined to fail. ing, forcing the team to return to a gwere hit, but the window was not shattered, and the team plans to go out again Tuesday to do more sampling.

Ban said he had instructed U.N. disarmament chief Angela Kane in Damascus “to register a strong complaint” with both the Syrian government and op-

position representatives for the convoy attack.

The Syrian government said its forces provided security for the team until they reached a position controlled by the rebels, where the government claimed the sniper attack occurred. The main Syrian opposition group in exile, the Syrian National Coalition, said members of a progovernment militia known as the Popular Committees fired at the U.N. team to prevent them from going in. he asked.

ally focused on the students.”

Mostly students run the facility, Barrett said.

“They trust us to get the job done,” he said. “The focus is on the students instead of the professional staff. It’s a building for students ran by students.”

Barrett said it’s a perfect job, especially for college.

“You get to see hundreds of people every shift,” he said, “and make relationships with certain people that come in.”

Barrett said he was shy when he first arrived to college.

“I’ve changed a lot,” he said.

“I have to deal with a lot of staff/ patron conflict, talk to people, calm them down. It’s helped my verbal skills.”

Barrett, who aspires to one day be a coach, said he’s become more outgoing, which he believes will help him reach that goal.

“We are a student staff, but we really strive on being professional,” he said.

D’aun Green, senior associate managing director of housing, said she has worked at several different institutions, but has en-

joyed working at Tech the most.

“I’ve always had opportunities here that I haven’t had at other institutions,” she said.

Green said she believes the people who work at Tech are committed to the students they serve.

The people who work at Tech love the school, she said. They want to see it succeed, and the love of the institution exudes itself to the student population.

“Students mentoring students is so important,” Green said.

“You probably learn much more from a peer or would listen to a peer, probably even more than you would from an authority figure.”

Green said she believes the people at Tech truly enjoy what they do.

She said they have a genuine concern and want to see people succeed here.

“I’ve always felt like Tech invested me and that made me want to invest in Tech,” Green said. ➤➤awillingham@dailytoreador.com

Opinions

Students have ways to save money Use of obscenities: Mollie Johnson Many times, the bigger brands people think are healthier use a vast array of additives, seasonings and various things that make their product taste better, but lower the score. The smaller, less popular brands make their products more simply because it is cheaper.

This makes it cheaper and healthier for the consumer. Tip No.1: check the Nuval before you buy.

If you’re on campus, or would rather purchase something pre-prepared, there are numerous options as well. I would recommend going somewhere with a wide range of options. My favorite, most cost-efficient places to eat are the Market at Stangel/Murdough Residence Complex on campus, and the deli at Market Street off campus.

The Market is a large eatery catering to a variety of different tastes. Whether you’re looking

“

for something sweet or salty, you can find it there. Another perk to eating at this particular dining hall is if you carry a dining plan, you get a discount on your meal.

Similarly, the deli at Market Street has options to suit almost any palate. The perk to Market Street is they carry large portion sizes. As a pasta lover, I generally get some sort of pasta. It usually costs around $6 total, but half is plenty. So I eat half, save half, and essentially get two $3 meals, which is fine by me.

Market Street also has a very decadent coffee shop that carries various promotions. I always take advantage of the fruit-infused tea BOGO sale and would recommend t h e s t o r e ’s tea to anyone who asks. Tip No.2: Check out the Market at Stangel/ Murdough and Market Street for great prepared food.

After you’ve eaten at college, it might be a good idea to buy textbooks. After all, the goal is to get that degree, right?

Textbooks, as we all know, are extremely expensive, so many students try to go without them.

Some do all right, but is the prospect of potentially paying more than the textbooks would

he beginning of a new semester can prove to be very overwhelming. A student has new classes, new professors, new buildings to learn, new living arrangements, new personal interactions and more. The most burdening aspect of all, however, can ironically be the easiest to avoid.

Most of the college-aged population would agree one of the biggest issues when starting anew is money. In my experience as a college student and a human being, I’ve learned of many ways to save while still being able to thrive.

The first thing a person has to do to survive on their own is eat. This process dates back to the earliest days of man and is simply a must for sustaining life. However, many are under the impression that in order to partake in activities such as a healthy lunch, serious “dough” is required. This is somewhat of a misconception, as it is not always the case.

Many of the big-name brands such as Del Monte are not always as healthy as simple brands, including Valu Time or Food Club.

A useful tool used to aid in finding healthy brands is a system called Nuval. All products are given a score from one to 100, with 100 being the healthiest, and this score is on the tag on the shelves under the price. “Nuval” is listed directly under the score, so it is very accessible and easy to locate.

have cost initially to retake the course really worth it? I don’t think so.

It seems to me the best way to buy textbooks is to purchase what you can through Amazon Student on Amazon.com. They will be in good shape, cost much less and can be bought back. Tip No.3: Look into what is available to purchase through Amazon Student.

Something that is of tremendous value to a college student is Microsoft Office. It’s not always advertised, but it is good to keep in mind that if you are a student, all colleges — Texas Tech included — have Microsoft Office available for purchase at discounted rates through the library and bookstore. Tip No.4: If you don’t already have it, purchase Microsoft Office through the university.

Once moved in and settled, don’t forget about all the services you have as a Tech student. There are legal services and notaries available to assist you, should the need arise, at no charge. Student Health Services is available, the library is open 24 hours five days per week and there are many fun activities and events that are at any Tech student’s disposal for free with your Tech ID.

Morsi’s ousting will impact Egypt negatively The Daily Trojan (u. SouThern

During a visit to Islamabad on Aug. 1, Secretary of State John Kerry said that the overthrowing of Egypt’s first democratically elected president Mohammed Morsi had been aimed at “restoring democracy.”

But Kerry’s definition of democracy is about as democratic as the restoration of democracy in Nicaragua at gunpoint under former President Ronald Reagan.

Contrary to the beliefs of Sec. Kerry and President Barack Obama’s administration, the ousting of President Morsi is the farthest thing from democratic, and will have lasting negative effects on the region.

When Morsi was originally elected as president, Foreign Policy wrote that the international community believed that President Morsi’s political party, the Muslim Brotherhood, would use their power in the Egyptian executive and legislative branches to push through a series of fundamentally Islamist reforms that would curtail individual liberties in Egypt. Instead, President Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood proved to be somewhat unprepared to rule, but they never used the military to exert control over the people, as Hosni Mubarak did for decades prior to the Egyptian revolution.

Simply being an ineffective leader, as Morsi was, is not a legitimate reason to stage a coup. A lack of efficacy should have resulted in Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood being ousted at election time, not at gunpoint. Had Morsi abused the power of the executive branch to nullify the powers of the

legislature or judiciary, or ordered the military to fire upon civilians, then a coup would be justified and necessary.

This coup will unfortunately have negative implications for Egypt, even as they are still attempting to recover from their bloody revolution in 2011. The Muslim Brotherhood, which survived generations in exile under Mubarak, now realizes that “democracy” won’t work for their aims in Egypt. Instead, military force seems to be the new black. The promise of democracy is now moot; the military has shown that a militaristic state is the future of Egypt. From the perspective of the Brotherhood, there is no point to working within the system if electoral gains will be nullified with military force. In the future, expect less political activism and more violent action in Egypt.

The power of the military will also be felt beyond the borders of Egypt.

Kerry made his statements from Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, a nation that has experienced a handful of military takeovers since gaining their independence 60 years ago. The most powerful nation on the planet endorsing force over voting rights in one of the historically least democratic nations sends a clear and influential message.

True, some revolutions have led to positive democratic change. The state that emerged from the American Revolution is currently the most powerful in the world. Then again, some revolutions have done more harm to democratic ideals than good, notably the Iranian Revolution, the French Revolution and the Bolshevik Revolution, even though these revolu-

tions were originally meant to be by the people and for the people. The problem with revolutions or coups is that they throw a country into a state of anarchy, and the priority of the new rulers of the state is to put the stability of the state first and ideals second.

Niccolo Machiavelli makes a case for prioritizing the state before ideals in The Prince, and that book has been a foundational text for statecraft in the 500 years since its publication. As Ian Bremmer writes in his book The J Curve, the quickest way to restore stability after a state slides into anarchy is to create autarchy, although in the long run a democracy will eventually be the most stable form of government.

As evidenced by the French and the Bolsheviks, however, even the loftiest of ideals of liberte, egalite e fraternite can give way to chaos.

Sec. Kerry did try to quantify his statements in Islamabad by saying that millions of people wanted a change in leadership in Egypt. Kerry was trying to justify the change in leadership in Egypt because of public outcry. At face value, that seems democratic, popular support from an unjustified mass of people without an election is not democratic. By the same logic, since millions of people also support the Taliban because they provide jobs for rural Afghans and Pakistanis and they don’t have a habit of blowing up village homes with Predator drones and Hellfire missiles, Kerry could make the case that the Taliban should be in charge in southwest Asia. It’s doubtful, however, that the U.S. will ask the Taliban to take over in Kabul anytime soon. There are some Afghan and Pakistani political leaders who have ties to or sympathize with the Taliban,

but they have been legitimately and constitutionally appointed or elected and do not make up a majority of the government in either Afghanistan or Pakistan.

Large numbers of Egyptians wanted Morsi out of power, but they should have waited for the next election cycle in order to set the precedent for a stable democratic process. Keep in mind that former President George W. Bush won in 2000 with fewer votes than thenVice President Al Gore, yet still got his time in office.

For supporters of Morsi, this ouster cheapens their voice. In removing Morsi from power, the military has sent a message that the voice of the people does not matter if the other side screams loud enough. That’s not the point of a democracy. Democracies only retain legitimacy if the people participate, and fewer Egyptians are likely to participate if they feel their voice can be silenced by the military.

In Egypt, we saw a state emerge from anarchy with the goal of moving toward democracy under Morsi, only to be plunged back into anarchy with the ouster. Not only is the state now more unstable than it was under the ineffective Morsi government, but there is also an increased chance that Egypt could move toward a military dictatorship to restore stability. Egypt is decidedly less well-off at this stage of the game.

The Arab Spring uprisings were supposed to be about the people of the Middle East throwing off the chains of autocratic repression and welcoming democracy. Instead, this return to military rule in Egypt marks an end to democratic hopes in the already volatile region.

what we decided

By DAILY TOREADOR EDITORIAL BOARD

A

s many of you may have seen or heard, Kenny Tucker decided to make use of the Free Speech Area on Monday.

He said his goals were to encourage “students about finding their personal truths and to come together as a generation to fix problems facing the world’s youth,” according to Chelsea Grunden’s article on page 2.

The retired Texas State University professor carried a sign with him.

In the story about Tucker and his beliefs we chose not to repeat what was written on his sign, but we ran a photo next to the story in which we did not censor what he had written.

We feel like you deserve to know the thought process behind this decision and why we did what we did.

Here is how it went.

Our first thought was this man used his sign to grab the attention of students passing by and we did not want to repeat that word and show it in the photo just to grab the attention of our readers.

Next, is it worth it? This isn’t a national, hard-hitting story.

It’s about a man in the Free Speech Area exercising his First Amendment right.

Most obviously, there are people who find that particular word offensive whether it’s spelled with an –er or a, which led us to another thought.

This is a black man using a term that is derogatory toward his race. Is it more or less appropriate for a person to use a racial slur if it’s about his or her own race?

But, why should we censor the word when Tucker was in a public area where plenty of people could and did see it?

After all, he was exercising

Dialogue necessary to combat eating disorders

By THE SUMMER EDITORIAL BOARD

The DarTmouTh (DarTmouTh College)

For many, college serves as the first time that students are graced with true autonomy, independently determining how they spend their time. A sense of control can, however, seem far more elusive than many originally anticipate. With such a plethora of moving parts at Dartmouth, such as the fast-paced quarter system and the D-Plan, maintaining a sense of control appears almost impossible.

Oftentimes, the emergence of eating disorders is related to a need for influence over personal matters. The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders has suggested that 86 percent of women in the U.S. suffer from an eating disorder by age 20, and further research has shown that Ivy League students are at an even higher risk for developing these Copyright © 2013 Texas Tech University Student Media/The Daily Toreador.

his freedom of speech, right?

When Brother Jed comes to campus, he has a history of offending people, but we have not censored anything about him in our stories or photos.

Would we use the same caution with this word if it were a racial slur toward any other race? Or offensive language?

If we do or do not censor it, what does that say to our readers? If we do run the word in the story and censor it, how do we censor it?

The Associated Press Stylebook, a guide to the basic rules on grammar, punctuation, usage and journalistic styles, explains under “N-word” in the N section to see “obscenities, profanities, vulgarities” in the O section.

Under “obscenities, profanities, vulgarities,” the AP Stylebook reads, “Do not use them in stories unless they are part of direct quotations and there is a compelling reason for them.”

Our next thought went to the photo. Do we crop it? Do we blur it out or place a bar over the word? If we crop it, the quality of the photo will be poor. If we blur it out or place a bar over the word, it would do the same.

After the editorial board sat down to discuss it we came to an agreement.

We decided not to repeat the word in the story because it was unnecessary. It did not appear in a direct quotation and there was no compelling reason for it.

However, we did choose to run the photo untouched, without any cropping to hide the word or censor over it because Tucker was in a public place where anyone could have easily seen his sign. In fact, many did.

We chose what we thought would be a middle ground and decided to explain to our readers what the thought process was behind our decision.

conditions. Such a problem is not specific to women either, as the pressures of the College also affect men, and can easily manifest as male eating disorders as well.

This is a conversation that almost never happens in public, but is almost constantly happening in private. Despite the issue’s prevalence, there seems to be a blanket of silence muting its discussion.

Eating disorders seem to carry with them an implicit sense of shame that only compounds its victims’ alienation, and as such, perhaps the best way to move toward a better solution is allowing ourselves to speak candidly about the problem.

While the College offers a number of great programs aimed at students with body image anxiety and has recently hired a second nutritionist to serve as an additional resource, the question remains: can top-down control even begin to address the issue?

Rural Andean churches plagued by theft LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — The thieves tunneled under the thick walls of the colonial-era Roman Catholic church in the tiny southern Bolivian town of San Miguel de Tomave, emerged through the floor and made off with five 18th-century oil paintings of inestimable value.

It was the third time the highlands church had been plundered of sacred art since 2007. Most of the finelyetched silver that once graced its altar was already gone.

“Who would have thought they would take the canvases, too?” the Rev. Francisco Dubert, the parish priest, asked of the 2-meter-by-1.75meter oils depicting the Virgin Mary.

Increasingly bold thefts plague colonial churches in remote Andean towns in Bolivia and Peru, where authorities say cultural treasures are disappearing at an alarming rate. At least 10 churches have been hit so far this year in the two culturally rich but economically poor countries.

“We think the thefts are being done on behalf of collectors,” said the Rev. Salvador Piniero, archbishop of Peru’s highlands Ayacucho province.

Religious and cultural authorities say criminal bands are stealing “to order” for foreigners.

Bolivian churches have been robbed 38 times of 447 objects since 2009 — of highly stylized decorative

silverwork, canvases, polished gold and silver altar pieces and gem-encrusted jewelry, said the country’s cultural patrimony chief, Lupe Meneses.

In Peru, at least 30 thefts from churches and chapels have been reported since January 2012, including two this month: Churches in Ayacucho and Puno provinces were robbed of ornamental silver laminate, or gold and silver crowns, earrings and necklaces.

In Tomave, other canvases were left behind, Dubert said, indicating the thieves knew exactly what they wanted. “These churches are being robbed because terrible people want to own beautiful things.” Donna

PROMOTIONAL PRIZE

PHOTO BY LAUREN PAPE/The Daily Toreador

JESSICA TEYUCA, A sophomore petroleum engineering major from Houston, plays a game to win a prize during an event promoting Amazon.com and Amazon Student on Monday outside the Student Union Building.

Yates, a University of Glasgow archaeologist blogged afterward.

Yates, who is studying the Andes thefts for a global, European Unionfunded project, said the hemorrhaging of priceless ecclesiastical art in the region has continued at a steady pace “but it’s getting more brazen.”

“Who is behind it? I can’t say,” Yates added. “The market for these goods is in Europe and the United States,” she says, with Santa Fe, New Mexico, one destination as a magnet for collectors of Latin American art.

Cultural officials in the Andes have long struggled to protect Incan and pre-Columbian cultural treasures.

Now, colonial sacred art has become a

similar worry. By law, it is all national patrimony, its export illegal.

Where possible, churches are being fortified. Video cameras were installed and nighttime guards posted last year at Ayacucho’s main cathedral in Huamanga, host to Peru’s biggest annual religious pilgrimage.

But poor, rural parishes are on their own, particularly along the highlands plateau where Spanish colonial missionaries built isolated settlements.

In January, church thieves stole 12 gold crowns and a pair of silver shoes of a baby Jesus statue in the isolated Ayacucho town of Santo Domingo de Chungui, said regional culture direc-

tor Mario Cueto.

He appealed afterward “for greater monitoring on highways and at international airports.” But the thefts almost always go unsolved.

In one of the most audacious thefts, national treasures disappeared in April from the Church of the Virgin of Copacabana on Lake Titicaca.

A wooden 16th-century statue of Bolivia’s patron saint was stripped of 18 precious jewels worth an estimated $1 million by thieves who poisoned two mastiffs and laced the parish workers’ evening meal with tranquilizers. While everyone slept, the thieves broke a window and gained entry with a ladder.

Fast pace is main focus for Tech offense

By EVERETT CORDER Staff Writer

When first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury arrived at Texas Tech, one of the biggest things he stressed was having an incredibly fast-paced offense.

For junior receiver Bradley Marquez, that means two or three plays for every minute the Red Raiders have the ball.

“You’ll see Friday night what we’re talking about, because all it has been is talk these past two or three months,” Marquez said. “It’s something we’ve been training for, and we’re excited about it.”

Marquez said although the

offense is fast, it also is controlled. Kingsbury has given the team different plays and formations to get in that will put them in the best situations to score points.

Some people have been questioning whether the Tech players can handle playing at as high of a pace as Kingsbury wants them to.

“A lot of that has to do with the players you have,” Kingsbury said. “I think you saw that last year with the type of athletes we had at (Texas A&M). We were able to install our system, and they picked it up quick and executed it at a high level.”

With the college game being

played at a higher level to begin with and the added pressure of the fast pace at which the team wants to run, starting the first game with a true freshman at quarterback has some Tech fans worried. Coach Kingsbury was in the same situation himself though 15 years ago when former Tech coach Spike Dykes named him the starting quarterback.

“That’s one of those situations I don’t think you can prepare yourself for mentally,” Kingsbury said. “I think the guys we’re working with, fortunately enough, have had great high school coaches and played in big-time high school games, so

you hope that carries over to the college level.”

Last year at Texas A&M, Kingsbury’s fast-paced offense was led by redshirt freshman and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel. For Friday’s game against Southern Methodist University, Kingsbury may once again have a freshman in control of the team.

“We’re trying to avoid the whole paralysis by analysis, and that’s what we want,” he said.

“We want them to have seen it, repped it, feel so comfortable in our system that as a quarterback one, two, three, four, out of my hand, over and over.”

Another question facing the Red Raider offense is the big men up front. The offensive line has faced several injuries through fall camp, the most recent coming to sophomore Tony Morales, and the starters are still yet to be decided, Kingsbury said.

“We’re still figuring things out as far as the starting five goes, but it’s been a good competition,” Kingsbury said. “It’s really helped to get two lines out there and rotate some guys through.”

The first test Tech’s new offense will get comes against the SMU Mustangs.

“Defensively, Coach Mason’s an incredible defensive coor-

dinator,” Kingsbury said. “He’s always giving us problems with his schemes. You look at the numbers he has last year and the takeaways and the turnovers, it’s been like that since he got there.

It’ll be a real challenge.”

The game against SMU will be played at 7 p.m. Friday at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The game will be broadcast on ESPN. “It’s exciting man,” said senior defensive lineman Kerry Hyder.

“You can feel it around campus.

Everyone’s excited, the fans, the players, the coaches. Everyone is looking forward to the game at SMU.” ➤➤ecorder@dailytoreador.com

Tracy McGrady announces retirement from NBA

Red Raiders net 6 in rout of Lobos

(AP) — Those sleepy eyes always betrayed Tracy McGrady.

Whether he was pouring in 13 points in 35 seconds for Houston in 2004 or sitting on the bench and watching the San Antonio Spurs win another playoff game in June without needing him, that cool expression rarely changed. It all looked almost too easy for McGrady, even if it rarely was.

McGrady announced his retirement from the NBA on Monday, ending a 16-year career that included two scoring titles, seven All-Star appearances, injuries to his knee and back and zero playoff series wins while he was leading the way. The straight-from-high school project who blossomed into a dominant, two-way superstar will always be remembered, too, as a player who struggled with injuries.

“Thank all of you who have supported me over 16 NBA seasons,

The Texas Tech Red Raiders won their second game against the Colorado State Rams after winning against New Mexico on Friday, 1-0, in their opening game.

The Red Raiders outscored the Rams, 6-0, the most goals scored

by Tech with coach Tom Stone since 2006 when the Red Raiders netted 10 goals against Prairie View A&M. Freshman Caity Heap scored her second career goal and her first goal of the season, pulling the Red Raiders into the lead.

Heap said second-half adjustments were key in the Tech victory.

“We kind of started out slow,” she said. “But we got in at halftime and corrected a couple things and we came out the second half and really performed well.”

Senior defender Hayley Haagsma scored the second goal of the game after an assist from sophomore Alli Murphy.

Haagsma said coming home with a victory against New Mexico helped with the mindset entering Sunday’s game.

“Coming home after Friday’s game with a win was key for us, just with mentality and stuff,” Haagsma said. “And our goal for today was just to get as many numbers in the game as we could.

Just getting everyone in the game playing our formation and getting used to it.”

The second half of the game the Red Raiders were able to maintain their momentum with another goal from Haagsma coupled with

7 All-Stars, and countless exciting moments,” McGrady tweeted on Monday morning. “Retiring from NBA. Stay tuned.”

McGrady didn’t rule out continuing his career overseas, perhaps in China where he played last season.

“Officially retired from the NBA,” he said on ESPN. “Door’s still open.”

McGrady was drafted by Toronto out of high school in 1997 and was outshined early in his career by Raptors star Vince Carter, McGrady’s distant cousin. He became a star in Orlando, was traded to Houston in 2004 and also played for the Knicks, Pistons and Hawks before finishing up his career with the Spurs last season. He averaged 19.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in his career and at one point was considered one of the best perimeter players of his generation, a talent that rivaled Kobe Bryant and any other player in the league.

an assist from Paige Strahan. Goals from Janine Beckie and Jessica Disabella were followed by a first career goal from freshman Stephanie Sorrells.

Senior goalie, Victoria Esson, said she has not had to face any shots this season. The Red Raiders have shut out both New Mexico and Colorado State so far.

“It all comes back to my defense,” she said. “I’ve got a great set of girls back there. I don’t think I’ve had a shot actually, this whole time.”

With only one shot on goal this season, Tech’s defense has been able to block out goal-side action.

Stone attributes the Red Raiders defensive intensity to the experience of his back line.

“We’ve got a real mature back line,” he said. “We’ve got two seniors and two juniors and they’ve played a lot of minutes, they’ve played a lot of minutes together.

We’ve got a great goalkeeping core and coach Todd Shulenberger has really instilled in them a sense of block and shot, block and crosses.

You know, he has a couple sayings about ‘why block a shot if you can stop it from happening long before it gets there.’”

The Red Raiders are coming into this season ranked No. 24 in the NCAA, but Esson said rankings do not mean much to the team.

“The ranking is great,” she said.

“But it doesn’t really mean too much. We have to go out there and prove ourselves to every team that we face. The first game was a tough one, but coming back on a Sunday is a little more important to us to come back and win one.

Stone said the halftime talk was focused on attitude and urgency.

“Came out of the halftime, and Hayley Haagsma took over,” he

said. “Our center back ran all the way up the field and scored and that really set the tone for a pretty good second half.”

AUSTIN (AP) — The name of the game for Texas this season is tempo. As in full-throttle, no-huddle, don’t-stop-to-catch-your-breath pace of play.

The plan is to put pressure on defenses by snapping the ball so fast they don’t have time to substitute and force them into personnel mismatches. Coach Mack Brown’s goal is to average 80 or more plays from the line of scrimmage, a blistering pace that could wear down opponents.

The No. 15 Longhorns open the season Saturday night at home against New Mexico State. As programs like Oregon and Oklahoma have shown in recent years, when the fast pace is clicking, it can be overwhelming. Texas would know: the Longhorns have been blown out by the Sooners the last two years.

But while the offense is designed to wear down defenses, the pace can be hard on the offense as well. Texas players say the biggest adjustment has been making sure they’re in good enough shape to handle the new demands.

While the team went through a tough offseason conditioning program, senior wide receiver Mike Davis said the offense is hardest on the lineman, all of whom weigh at least 300 pounds. After crashing against defensive linemen, they have to hustle to the next play.

Texans hope to know more about Reed HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans expect by the end of this week to have a better idea whether injured safety Ed Reed will play in their season opener.

Coach Gary Kubiak said Monday that Reed is in Vail, Colo., visiting the surgeon who performed his April hip surgery to repair a partially-torn labrum.

He will receive injections in his hip during the visit and then travel Atlanta later this week to continue his rehabilitation.

The Texans wrap up their preseason on Thursday night at Dallas and open the season Sept.

9 at San Diego.

“I think we’re going to have

a really good idea of where we’re at coming out of Dallas,” Kubiak said of Reed’s status.

It is the second hip surgery for the 34-year-old Reed, who also had a procedure in 2010 that caused him to miss the first six games of that season.

The nine-time Pro Bowler, who joined the Texans in the offseason after spending his entire career with the Ravens, has been on the physically unable to perform list since the start of camp. But he has said that his rehab is going well and that he believes he’s ahead of schedule.

Kubiak stressed that they have been part of all the decisions and plans as he recovers, even though

he’s spent a lot of time away from the team working with the people in Atlanta who helped him come back from his last procedure.

They aren’t concerned that his recovery will bleed too far into the season even if he isn’t ready for the first week.

“I think we feel good about understanding where he’s at and I think the question is if he’s going to be ready right off the get-go,” Kubiak said. “That’s something that’s got to get sorted out here pretty quickly.”

Kubiak said he had a long conversation with Reed on Sunday before he left for Colorado and that he assured him he’s steadily improving.

With Reed out, the Texans have had a chance to give rookie second-round pick D.J. Swearinger extra work, and have been impressed with his development.

He could play a big role if Reed isn’t ready to play in the opener.

The added playing time Swearinger and Houston’s other young safeties have gotten in camp and preseason games has Kubiak confident that the secondary will be fine even if Reed can’t play early.

“You’ve got to understand our approach, our whole training camp our approach has been without him so the team’s not going to panic,” Kubiak said. “We understand.”

For starters, 4 Big 12 teams still not naming QB (AP) — For starters, four Big 12 teams haven’t even revealed who their No. 1 quarterback will be with only a few practices left before the season openers.

There were five until Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said Monday during the first Big 12 coaches weekly teleconference that he had settled on junior college transfer Jake Waters as the starter.

TCU coach Gary Patterson will let everybody find out who starts for the 20th-ranked Horned Frogs when either Casey Pachall or Trevone Boykin run out on the field against 12th-ranked LSU on Saturday night.

Both are expected to play.

“The difference with me is I think I can win with both of them in big games,” said Patterson, who certainly has to know who will start but isn’t saying.

Pachall is 15-2 as a starter, but

played only four games last season before leaving school for a substance abuse program. Boykin then won three Big 12 road games.

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy plans to play both Clint Chelf and J.W. Walsh, though isn’t saying who will take the first snap for the No. 13 Cowboys against Mississippi State in the other Big 12 vs. SEC matchup on the opening weekend.

“That’s really what I’ve said throughout the spring and it’s not changed,” Gundy said. “Both quarterbacks have improved from last season, both quarterbacks played fairly well in games last season, so they deserve to play. If there was separation where one was considerably better than the other, then we would play, or name him the starter.”

As for having more than one quarterback, Gundy was quick to point out, “last year there were times we had

success with three of them.” Wes Lunt transferred to Illinois. Chelf and Walsh both threw for more than 1,500 yards with at least 13 touchdowns.

The quarterback job at West Virginia is down from three to Florida State transfer Clint Trickett or Paul Millard, who was Geno Smith’s backup the past two seasons. It had been three with redshirt freshman Ford Childress.

“They’ve kind of risen their game a little bit and they’re battling,” coach Dana Holgorsen said. “We had to kind of narrow it down. Once we did, Paul looked good, and we felt it warranted to keep the competition going.”

With expected starter Michael Brewer dealing with a back problem, new Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury is down to two freshmen — Davis Webb or walk-on Baker Mayfield — to choose from for his head coaching debut at SMU on Friday night. Both could play.

Ex-Cowboy players say scrutiny is same for modern players LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Members of the Dallas Cowboys’ championship teams from the 1970s said Monday that the scrutiny professional athletes face in the modern era is similar to what they went through in the days before every move was recorded on a smartphone and spread around the world by social media.

Roger Staubach, a quarterback who won two Super Bowls with the Cowboys after winning the Heisman Trophy at Navy in 1963, said in an interview with The Associated Press that temptations increase with the amount of money an athlete makes — and that those who are paid to play must be cautious to maintain a proper balance.

“In your life, you have to overcome temptations,” Staubach said.

“If you look at sports, the more money that gets involved, it’s harder to keep your perspective, your balance, but you should. It shouldn’t be all about the money.”

Staubach, cornerback Mel Renfro and defensive back Charlie Waters were among a number of ex-Cowboy players and coaches who visited Arkansas to honor safety Cliff Harris at the Little Rock Touchdown Club. They agreed to meet with the AP after a ceremony announcing that Harris’

name will be on a new award that will be presented to the top smallcollege defensive player.

The ex-Cowboys said headlinegenerating scandals in a variety of sports, including the recent suspensions of baseball players for using performance-enhancing drugs, overshadow the recognition due athletes who play fairly, volunteer in their communities and, as Waters said, live as a “wellbehaved member of society.”

“There’s always been pressure.

It’s part of the job,” Waters said. “If you don’t want that, then you don’t want to be playing professional sports or even college sports.

“Unfortunately a lot of players think they can do a lot of stuff.

Players need to be great on the gridiron. That’s it. When they get off that, they don’t have to be anything but themselves. ...

There’s got to be a separation,” Waters said.

The former players didn’t talk about specific players in scandals, though Staubach called the murder allegation against former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez “beyond belief.” He said athletes should exercise peer pressure against rule-breakers and that the media and the public should find a taste for happier stories.

“They’ve got a good program,” he said. “We look forward to playing them and having them in the United Spirit Arena to start off 2013.”

Flora said he expects the Red Raiders to be anxious and ready to play after weeks of only being able to train against each other.

“I think they’re ready for another color of jersey on the other side of the net,” he said.

“It’s been two weeks of good, good training and we’ve done a nice job day to day. We are really looking forward to next Friday in Utah.”

While Waters was tabbed as the first Kansas State quarterback to play after the graduation of Heisman Trophy finalist Collin Klein, Snyder said “in all likelihood” Daniel Sams will also play against North Dakota State on Friday.

Only No. 15 Texas with David Ash returns the same starter from all of last season.

“He’s more confident, he’s stronger, he’s got more experience,” coach Mack Brown said of Ash, who has started 18 of his 25 games. “The biggest difference, because of his confidence, he’s able to lead.”

Sam Richardson took over as Iowa State’s starter the last three games of his freshman season, when he had eight TDs and one interception. Bryce Petty, a fourth-year junior, has been the backup to Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III and record-setting Nick Florence at Baylor.

“I feel like there was a lot of good, quality volleyball,” he said. “It was a little interesting to see such a lopsided fourth game, but that happens. That’s the mojo in volleyball. There’s a momentum swing and I think the black team did a really nice job of finishing strong once they were in control.”

Scott opens FedEx Cup playoffs with surprising win JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Of all the players who missed putts on the 18th hole at Liberty National, Adam Scott might have been the only one who felt like it didn’t matter.

His 15-foot putt grazed the right edge of the cup, and Scott walked away with a 5-under 66 that he considered little more than a good final round.

More than an hour later, it turned out to be a winner at The Barclays.

“I can’t believe it, to be honest,” Scott said after opening the FedEx Cup playoffs with a one-shot win. “I just played a good round today and I came in and really didn’t think it had a chance. But obviously, things went my way a lot out there.

“I feel like I’ve been given a bit of a gift,” he said, “but I’ll take it.”

Even if Scott had made his birdie putt on the 18th, he figured he would be lucky to get into a playoff.

What followed was a parade of missed putts, ugly shots and Tiger Woods dropping to his knees just before he started dropping birdies.

“It was a good charge, but obviously I got a lot of luck, the guys struggled coming in,” Scott said. “I’ve been in their position, too. It’s hard getting it done and I was playing from a position of nothing to lose today.”

Justin Rose had a 25-foot birdie putt to take the outright lead, gunned it 5 feet by the hole, and missed the par putt to fall one shot behind.

Kevin Chappell, whose birdie on the 10th hole gave him a two-shot lead, played the next seven holes in 7-over par, starting with a three-putt from 8 feet for double bogey.

Woods had been battling lower back issues all week, which he attributed to a soft bed in his hotel room. In a snapshot of the collapses that unfolded over the last two hours, Woods said he had a back spasm on the par-5 13th hole, and after his second shot with a fairway metal was so far left that it went into a water hazard on the other side of the 15th fairway, he dropped to all fours in pain and took his time getting back on his feet.

PUNCHING PRACTICE

PHOTO BY CASEY HITCHCOCK/The Daily Toreador

GREGORY STEVENS, A senior sociology major from Allen, practices his hits Monday inside the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center.

Young takes over ACU’s offensive coordinator chores ABILENE (AP) — After serving as the architect of some of the best offenses in the nation for 11 years, Ken Collums is stepping aside to focus on his duties as Abilene Christian’s head football coach. Now, a former Wildcat — Nathan Young — will be calling the plays for ACU when the Wildcats open the season against Concordia College at 7 p.m. Saturday at Shotwell Stadium.

Young, who begins his sixth season as an assistant coach for the Wildcats, said he’s thrilled with his new role as offensive coordinator.

“I’m excited. I’m nervous,” he said.

“There’s lot of emotions, but it’s a huge step for Coach Collums to allow me to do that. I’m excited to do something a

little bit different. We’ll see.”

Collums, Central Arkansas’ offensive coordinator for three years (2002-2004) before taking the same job at ACU in 2005, admitted it’s going to be a strange transition for him.

“I don’t know that it’s hard yet, but it’s weird,” he said. “It’s very strange, because I’m not doing what I’ve done for the last (11) years. I see him doing the things that I’ve loved doing for a long time. As a head coach, you’re way more limited in your involvement, unless you want to live at the office and work 18-, 19-hour days like some people do.

I’m not interested in that, because I’m going home to love my wife and kids.”

Collums, who played quarterback at Central Arkansas, had some of the nation’s top offenses while serving as offensive coordinator for the Bears.

He accomplished even bigger things at ACU. The Wildcats were ranked among the top 10 total offenses in NCAA Division II five times in the last eight years, including first in 2008, second in 2007 and third in 2011.

In a two-year span (2007-2008), ACU averaged 50.7 points and 550.9 yards per game in 25 games. The Wildcats were ranked first in scoring offense in 2007 and 2008, second in 2010 and

sixth in 2006.

ACU’s last two starting quarterbacks — Billy Malone and Mitchell Gale — set school records for career passing yards and joined an elite group, regardless of division, in throwing for more than 12,000 yards each.

However, the offense struggled behind an inconsistent offensive line last year, averaging 28.6 points and 354.3 yards per game — both among the lowest offensive outputs in the last eight years.

Collums, ACU’s second-year head coach, believes he could have done a better job calling the game from the press box — something he can’t do as the team’s head coach.

“I don’t feel like I did as good a job,” Collums said about the play-calling.

“There were times where we would watch the game (film) on Sunday and I would think, ‘Man, if I had just seen that from the (press) box, I would have been a little more patient with that play and gone back to it, instead of going on to something else. “(The press box is) the best seat in the house. I don’t see how people call plays every week from the sidelines, unless they just have a list of plays and they’re calling them. I don’t see how they’re doing it. There’s so many

things you look for from the box — the rhythm of the defense, certain players or safeties you can look at, is so-and-so getting tired or nosy? Those are things you can see from the box that you can’t see as much from the sidelines.”

So between the need to be on the sidelines and his extra duties as head coach, Collums thought it was time to give the play-calling duties to someone else, and he had been grooming Young for the job the last few years.

Young played on the Wildcats’ offensive line for four years (2004-07), and he coached the offensive line for four more years (2008-2011) before becoming the running backs coach last year.

“The best thing about the whole situation is that it’s very rare to be able to learn and call plays in an offense that you played under, an offense that has been very successful, then you’re part of the offense as a coach,” Young said.

“When I get to call plays, the guy who’s looking over me used to call the plays.

Just having that tutelage every day in practice — ‘Maybe you do this instead of this,’ or in a game situation, ‘Hey, try this on the next series,’ or whatever.

Pressure, to an extent, I might feel that, but I’m ready to learn and grow in that area.”
