Guessing Game Red Raiders might, might not know starting quarterback

exas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury knows who the starting quarterback will be on Saturday.

Although he did not announce it to them, he said he thinks the players, including the one who will start at quarterback, know who the starter will be and are preparing to play with that particular person.

Tech senior running back DeAndre Washington, however, said unless new information has been released, he does not know who the quarterback will be.

Amidst several dodged questions, some beating around the bush and multiple

instances of coach speak at the first press conference of the 2015 football season, not much was learned about the Red Raiders quarterback situation.

Kingsbury was still not ready to name a starter at the weekly media luncheon Monday morning, but he did say he is as excited about the players competing for his old position as he has ever been.

“I feel very good about that position (quarterback) and that room,” Kingsbury said. “With the way those two guys battled and got better this season and (redshirt sophomore) Nic Shimonek earning his scholarship, it’s the most solid I’ve felt about that room since I’ve been here.”

CAMPUS

On Monday, Blue Bell started the rollout of its ice cream products, the first since its listeria scare and recall in April.

According to a report by KPRC-TV, an NBC affiliate in Houston, the first four flavors Blue Bell is coming out with are Dutch Chocolate, Homemade Vanilla, The Great Divide and Cookies and Cream.

When the listeria outbreak was first reported in February, Hospitality Services took no time in pulling Blue Bell from campus, Alan Cushman, manager of business development for Hospitality Services, said.

Students around campus were surprised about the listeria outbreak, Brett Martin, a senior nutrition major from Odessa, said. They were also sad because they were recalling such a loved Texas brand.

Communication was key in the decision, Cushman said.

Hospitality Services wanted to make sure everyone on campus knew what was going on and why it pulled the products.

Hospitality Services is excited Blue Bell products are returning, Cushman said. When they arrive in Lubbock, Hospitality Services will have a big rollout with social media because so many people are anticipating it.

Even though Hospitality Services does not have a set date for when Blue Bell products will return to campus, it will be sooner rather than later, Cushman said.

“We have been told anywhere from four to six weeks until we get it here,” Cushman said. “We will start receiving pints when Blue Bell comes back on campus of the flavors they are distributing right now.”

Drugs, money recovered at Yoga classes offer chance to relax possible residence of Tech student assault suspect

BY AMANDA CASTRO-CRIST Staff WritEr

Alfredo Mozart Lopez, 28, a suspect in the beating of Texas Tech student Gregory Paul Avari, 24, has not yet replied to prosecutors’ request to confiscate $21,517.

The money was found inside the residence the Texas Department of Public Safety believed Lopez to be located, according to Special Agent Kim LaCaze’s surveillance.

The residence was searched with written consent after Lopez attempted to flee and was arrested, according to court documents. In addition to the funds, a handgun, methamphetamine, hydroponic marijuana, Xanax, Adderall, Conazepam, Tramadol and hydrocodone were all found inside the residence.

“The U.S. currency was in close proximity to several of the drug exhibits, which is consistent with drug trafficking,” La Caze said, according to her statement.

In addition to the proximity of the currency to the drug exhibits, other earmarks of drug trafficking found were a bundle of cash held together with a rubber band in Lopez’s pocket and bundles of cash in black bags held together with rubber bands, according

to the documents.

Questions posed to Lopez included a request for admission that the property was seized in LOPEZ Lubbock County and no other person or entity has an interest in the property seized, according to the documents.

On top of the charges Lopez is facing for the aggravated assault of Avari, according to the documents he is now facing additional charges of money laundering greater than or equal to $20,000 but less than $100,000, felon in possession of a firearm and the manufacture/delivery of controlled substance PGI greater than four grams but less than 200 grams.

Students were first made aware of the situation involving Avari and Lopez when a Campus Crime Alert was emailed to all students. Avari was found beaten with a portion of his skull visible in a breezeway at the University Trails apartments in July.

Avari was moved from University Medical Center to a long-term facility in early August. @KaitlinBain

PiYo class are only about halfway through their 45 minutes of exercises, but there are already groans coming from some students and nervous laughter from others.

“Hold it, now crisscross,” instructor Sarah Repman calls out to the class.

Repman, a senior nutrition major from Midland, does not usually lead the PiYo class, a mix of Pilates and yoga. But while the movements may be different, it offers some of the same benefits as a typical yoga class, and is one of several ways students can participate in at the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center during National Yoga Month this September.

PiYo is one of the faster classes and focuses more on the intensity, Repman said, but there are several other classes that focus on the movements, relaxation and breathing techniques of the exercise. While those just starting out in yoga can take a beginners’ class, Repman said they are welcome to come to any of the classes offered.

She encouraged them to stop and take a break if they needed it and to work at their own pace.

“Usually, all of our people cater to beginners,” she said, adding that some classes, like Baptiste Yoga, may be more difficult for beginners. Baptiste Yoga is designed to empower students with focus, training and insight, according to the Rec Center’s list of classes.

Arrington Hayes, a third-year medical student from South Lake, said she spent the day before the PiYO class completing strength training and wanted something a little more relaxing. She said she enjoyed the mix of Pilates and yoga, two classes she has taken in the past.

“It’s a little more upbeat than regular yoga,” Hayes said. “It gets your heartbeat up.”

Vietnam Center digitizes collections

tion this large that talks about the experience (of post-war Vietnamese immigrants) is really important,” Amy Mondt, Vietnam Center associate director, said. “If it’s not kept in the documentary history, it will eventually get forgotten.”

It is important to save these documents, especially because there are not many left, Mondt said. Many of these documents were destroyed at the end of the war, which created a gap in the South Vietnamese perspective of the war.

After the fall of Saigon and end of the Vietnam War, the communist Vietnamese government imprisoned the South Vietnamese who had collaborated with the U.S., Mondt said, and put them in the so-called re-education camps, which were essentially prison camps.

Desperate to escape, these people resorted to dangerous means, such as setting sail in small boats unsuitable for sea voyage, she said. The activities of such “boat people” turned out to be illegal and dangerous.

“In order to alleviate this process and try to save as many lives as possible, they created what was called the Orderly Departure Program,” Mondt said.

The FVPPA Collections contain, among other documents, the applications from the Orderly Departure Program, Sheon Montgomery, Vietnam Center assistant archivist, said. These applications are a rich source of information about the lives

The Orderly Departure Program was proposed in 1979 and allowed Vietnamese citizens to safely immigrate to the U.S. and other participating countries. After 15 years, the program helped more than 500,000 Vietnamese refugees immigrate to the U.S. alone. of these immigrants and also offer insight into their personal lives.

The documents present information about the immigrants’ existence after the war, the living conditions in the re-education camps, the struggle of their families in the villages and their keen desire for immigration, Montgomery said.

Former U.S. President George W. Bush wrote a letter in May 2008 to Stephen Maxner, director of the Vietnam Center, commending the efforts to preserve and promote the story of the immigrants.

“The information in this collection will provide re-

searchers with an abundance of firsthand accounts of Vietnamese immigrants and their experiences will help historians understand the Vietnamese-American immigration experience; and it will serve as an important resource for genealogical research,” Bush said in his letter.

The processing and digitization of these documents is, no doubt, invaluable for research purposes, Mondt said, but it has found significant value in other areas as well.

A few American soldiers have used it to locate and reconcile with their long-lost friends, Mondt said.

During the war, soldiers

in the South Vietnamese military had counterparts in the American military.

After the war ended, many of these American soldiers were oblivious to what had happened to their counterparts.

With the FVPPA collection database, they were able to search and see if their friend made it to the U.S. or not, Mondt said.

“The files have been used in a few different things, from reuniting old friends to finding counterparts and things like that,” she said.

The digitization of the collections was made possible by a $144,000 grant received from the National Historical Publications and

Records Commission in December 2011, according to the Vietnam Center and Archive website.

The grant was initially intended for digitization of the ODP applications from the first FVPPA Collection received in 2005. However, the project was quickly accomplished and they were able to expand their project to digitize the second FVPPA Collection, received in 2012, as well.

“So we accomplished a lot more than they had originally anticipated we could do in that three years,” Montgomery said.

The three-year project culminated in the digitization of 192 linear feet, or 355,274 pages, of documents from the FVPPA Collection.

FVPPA is an American organization that was active from 1977 to 1999 and campaigned for the release of Vietnamese re-education camp prisoners after the end of the Vietnam War, according to the website. It also aided the immigrants in adjusting to their changed lives in theIR new country.

The ODP was proposed by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees in 1979 and helped more than 500,000 Vietnamese refugees immigrate to the U.S. before the program ended in 1994, according to the website.

Media, students react to Virginia shooting

BY EASTON WOLLNEY Staff Writer

On Wednesday in Roanoke, Virginia, two journalists for WDBJ-TV, Alison Parker and Adam Ward, were shot and killed by a former employee of the station, Vester Flanagan, before he took his own life.

Jeff Klotzman, news director and anchor at FOX 34 in Lubbock, said the incident was shocking and brought a subdued atmosphere to the newsroom at the station.

Earlier in Klotzman’s career he was assaulted by a male for covering a story, he said, and it is common for

female reporters to receive letters from admirers.

“When you’re in the public eye, you’re never really safe,” Klotzman said.

Adam Young, local news editor of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, said the newsroom at the paper was angry and sad when they heard about the shooting and wondered how to respond.

Even though it was an isolated incident, Young said, it can be dangerous for those in journalism, as well as other professions, and said there have been times in the past while reporting when he had concerns about his safety.

“It was kind of a heart-

breaking sadness,” Young said, “when you see something like this happen.”

Kameron Court, a senior journalism major from Plano, said she was shocked and sad to hear about another shooting and feels they have become common.

Despite the recent event, Court said, she still wants to become a journalist, and has been warned of the dangers journalists sometimes face from the time of her first journalism course at Tech.

“Unfortunately, we live in a world where crazy people have easy access to guns now,” Court said.

Journalists should always

have proper training for emergency situations, Court said, but at the end of the day, there are still people who can find access to weapons.

“There needs to be more education on gun safety and more requirements to be able to obtain a gun,” Court said.

“It may not fix the solution completely, but it would help things to an extent.”

The FOX 34 news station has security, Klotzman said, such as bulletproof glass in some areas and the doors to the newsroom remain locked, but the incident in Virginia was different because it did not take place in a newsroom.

“We are just really asking our people out there to be really conscious about the environment,” Klotzman said.

The station is not going to send security to live shooting events with staff members, Klotzman said, but he is asking the staff to keep their eyes open and to be alert.

Gun control would not have mattered in this case, Klotzman said, because the shooter probably would have found a way to commit the murders regardless.

“Unfortunately he took two, what sounds like, wonderful journalists with him,” Klotzman said. @EastonWollneyDT

Assistant professor receives grant

BY LEAH BRYCE Staff Writer

The Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) awarded Wei Li, assistant professor for the Department of Chemical Engineering, with a grant in order to further his research with drug rejection in cancer cells.

“A total of 16 awards were given,” Li said. “By estimate less than 10 percent of applicants get the award. The agency understands that certain new ideas need support to go

forward.”

Since its conception in 2007, CPRIT has annually LI distributed grants to various universities and other research facilities, according to its website.

Each applicant must go through multiple steps in order to be considered for this award. CPRIT allows only a limited number of applicants per university,

and each applicant must first compete within his or her university in order to proceed to the next sixstep process.

“It’s very competitive,” Li said. “From this opportunity new delivery tools will be used to understand new drugs that can lead to new ways to treat cancer.”

This $200,000 will be used in Li’s two-year research project titled, “Integrated On-Chip Networks for Investigating ExosomeMediated Drug Expulsion.”

Through this Li and his team will be examining how

cancer cells reject chemotherapeutic drugs. Li said one of his research goals is to understand how cancer cells are able to build a resistance to cancer treatments.

“Fundamentally, I would like to understand how cells communicate with each other,” Li said.

CPRIT was giving 3 billion dollars to distribute amongst cancer research facilities. In doing so, they have opened many jobs for Texas scientists. In this institute there are nine committee members devoted to awarding grants. According

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Amber Ritz, a sophomore and nutritional science and dietetics transfer major from Big Spring, said this was the first yoga class she’s taken. Before coming to Tech, she participated in group classes like P90X and Insanity, and dance classes like club cardio. Those classes were more cardiointensive, but PiYo was still a good workout, she said, and worth the pain.

“There’s not as much cardio, but you still sweat a lot,” Ritz said. “It hurt.”

Repman said though all the participants in the Monday PiYo class were female, there is usually a good mix of males and females in each of the classes. Class size also varies, but is usually 20 or more people, she said.

According to Rec Center class lists, there more than 15 different yoga sessions offered each week. These include Ashtanga Yoga, which teaches topics like fundamentals and breathing, Hatha Yoga, which focuses on strength and flexibility and Vinyasa Yoga, in which movement is synchronized to the participant’s breathing. Kripalu Yoga, a variation of Hatha Yoga, trains participants

to vice chair Will Montgomery, he and Li share a similar personal battle with cancer.

Both Li’s and Montgomery’s fathers suffered from a battle with cancer.

“My dad was sick because of liver cancer,” Li said. “Personal friends have also suffered from this had sickness, and a lot of people in China have developed cancer from pollution.”

Although personal reasons led to this research, it was also a heavy educational background that brought this research and many other projects. Recently, Li was

published in Biomaterials and Materials Today for his research in capture and release of circulating tumor cells (CTCs).

He is also leading research in combining cutting-edge microfluidics, soft materials and high throughput nanoassembly techniques to develop novel biofunctional polymer surfaces and microdevices for biological applications, with 3-D cell microenvironments, cell-surface interactions, bioimaging sensors and cancer drug screening. @DailyToreador

using things like inner focus, meditation, breathing and relaxation, according to the list.

“It does so much for you,” Repman said. “It helps you with your flexibility, it builds up strength. It’s really good to relieve stress.”

There are also several beginner and intermediate classes, along with a Yoga for Athletes class that serves to provide variety from their usual workouts while also increasing flexibility and range of motion.

Johanna Valencia, Fitness and Wellness coordinator in the Fit/Well office, said those who want to experience a yoga class outside will get the chance Sept. 10 when Rec Center

The class, held at 5:30 p.m. in Urbanovsky Park, is free to all students with a TTU ID. It is one of several events during the week aimed at increasing positivity and student wellness, Anneliese Bustillo, a prevention specialist with RISE, said.

the Blue Bell factory,” Martin said. “I’m assuming that they got everything taken care of.”

If another listeria outbreak or another foodborne illness occurs at Blue Bell, people would not be as forgiving the next time, Martin said. Many eyes are going to be on them now.

Blue Bell will be smarter about it, Martin said. They messed up last time and they lost money because of it.

Students are excited to see Blue Bell back, Cushman said.

I think that once we get it back on campus, it’s going to be hard to keep it on the shelves.

“I opened up Facebook this afternoon, my first four posts were something related to Blue Bell,” Jackson said. “It’s been four or five months and I can’t wait for it to come back.”

Hospitality Services is working with the distributors so there will be enough for students on campus, Cushman said.

“We are looking forward to the return of the product for Texas Tech,” Cushman said.

“We are excited for all the Red Raiders to get their ice cream back.”

Atlanta-area officer shot

Murder charge dropped against nanny

ATLANTA (AP) — An Atlantaarea police officer has been shot and taken to a hospital.

DeKalb County police spokeswoman Mekka Parrish said the officer was shot Monday night but she didn’t immediately have any details about the circumstances of the shooting.

The shooting happened in a neighborhood about 5 miles from Atlanta.

Dozens of police cars descended on the area and closed down a street.

Parris said the officer would undergo surgery at the hospital. The extent of the officer’s injuries was not immediately known.

BOSTON (AP) — A lawyer for an Irish nanny who was accused of killing a 1-year-old girl in her care and served more than two years in prison only to have a murder charge against her dropped on Monday called the prosecution a “complete disgrace” and a “rush to judgment.”

Melinda Thompson said 37-year-old Aisling Brady McCarthy “can’t stop crying out of joy” but still faces uncertainty because federal immigration authorities want to detain her.

“It was a tragedy that a

child died, but, quite frankly, the way this prosecution was handled was a complete disgrace,” Thompson said hours after Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan dropped a first-degree murder charge against McCarthy, who remains at an undisclosed location.

Thompson said McCarthy hopes to rebuild her life and her credibility and hasn’t ruled out legal action against prosecutors.

“This was an absolute nightmare,” Thompson said of her client’s time in prison.

“It changes a person. She

can’t get those years back.”

McCarthy was accused of killing Rehma Sabir in Cambridge in January 2013. She had been the girl’s nanny for about six months.

McCarthy, an Irish national now married to a Boston-area man, traveled to the United States about 13 years ago under a visa waiver program that entitled her to stay 90 days.

She had been in prison from the time of her 2013 arrest until May, when she was released on bail and ordered to wear a GPS monitor while awaiting an October trial.

People must respect one another, recognize similarities

A

mericans historically have stood together in times of crisis. We’ve been able to put aside our differences when necessary and unite in support of the common good, and that’s one of the things that has made this country great.

Now, however, our society is divided. Hate is running rampant like the plague. We’re being divided across all types of lines — black against white, black against cop, rich against poor, liberal against conservative — and we’re magnifying the differences while downplaying the similarities.

Those who wish to divide us are using every available opportunity to do so. If any sort of violence is perpetrated against one race by a member of another race, or by a police officer, we’re told it’s because of racism, regardless of what the facts actually are.

Now it’s to the point where police officers are being mur-

dered simply because they’re wearing the uniform. Dividers teach us to hate and distrust other groups of people, telling us they’re to blame for whatever is wrong with our lives.

Many who haven’t succumbed to the hate mentality are wondering why we just can’t love each other. Wouldn’t society be better if we could just learn to love one another?

It certainly would.

Maybe I’m a little cynical, but I think asking everyone to love one another may be asking a bit too much. With so much hate festering in the hearts of people today, such a drastic change can’t happen overnight. We’ve got to start somewhere more reasonable.

We need to start by learning to respect one another.

A lack of respect is where this all starts. So many people don’t respect different ideologies and different backgrounds. They don’t respect police or other authority figures.

Occasionally, individual police officers don’t show respect toward the people they deal with, which is the justification people use to hate officers in general. As with any group of people, there are a few bad eggs, but police officers generally are not hateful or racist, and there is no reason not to respect them.

They certainly don’t deserve to be assassinated.

There is no reason not to respect people simply because of the color of their skin or their socioeconomic background. We’re all humans, and all our lives matter.

There is no reason not to respect someone simply

because of his or her political beliefs. Depending on who you ask, liberals are just a bunch of pot-smoking, baby-killing, America-hating communists, and conservatives are just old, rich, racist white guys who want to oppress women and minorities. Neither of these is true.

Civil discourse is one of the hallmarks of our democratic society. We should be able to have meaningful conversations and debates without devolving into demagoguery and hatred. We can do that, but it starts with respecting each other.

We also have to get past focusing so much on our differences. Yes, we are different.

We come from different backgrounds, we experience different things and we often see the same things in different ways.

We have a unique blend of cultures and backgrounds, which helps to enrich our society. But deep down, we’re all the same.

As John F. Kennedy said in his commencement speech at American University in 1963, “For in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s futures. And we are all mortal.”

Liberals and conservatives want the same basic thing — prosperity for the nation and its people — but just differ on how to achieve it. Police officers want to be able to do their jobs and then go home safely to their families, the same as everyone else. We’re more similar than people tend to realize.

A common thread in the plethora of mass shootings we’ve seen is the lack of respect for and value of human life. It’s not guns or racism that’s the problem — it’s that we don’t place enough value in each other’s existence.

Every life inherently has

an equal amount of value, regardless of whether that life is black or white, cop or civilian, rich or poor, liberal or conservative, and we all deserve the same degree of respect. We have to recognize that value in each other.

If we can train ourselves to stop looking for someone or something to blame for our problems and instead look inward for ways to improve ourselves and our society, we’ll be much better off. Everyone has their problems and we can only fix them ourselves. We’re all capable of making a positive difference in society, regardless of who or what we are.

So instead of dwelling on our differences and hating others because of them, we can start by focusing on our similarities and respecting each other. If we can manage to do that, maybe then we can talk about loving each other. editor@dailytoreador.com

“Straight Outta Compton” reflects current Baylor scandal shows need for reformation in U.S. police force coach’s true priorities

A

lthough the hit film “Straight Outta Compton” is set during the early 1980s through late 1990s, the film’s themes show how police brutality is still a constant problem in society. With today’s current issues, the movie came out at the most appropriate time.

Police brutality has always been a problem. The only difference between then and now is that people can record the way policemen handle certain situations, especially when the officers act in an abrasive and unprofessional way. As more police brutality videos appear, it is time to hold these police officers accountable for their actions and rethink the qualifications it takes to become an officer of the free country.

“Straight Outta Compton” is about the notorious rap group N.W.A. that spurred in the early 1980s. The group quickly grew famous for “controversial” music about gangs, drugs and the violence the group members witnessed in their hometown of Compton, California. The movie focuses on Ice Cube, Eazy E and Dr. Dre, the creators and composers of N.W.A. One of the major themes of the movie is police brutality, as that was one of the main messages they wanted to share with the world. Through their music, they were given a voice and they used it to tell the truth about what they were going

through, instead of just giving the people what they thought would be popular.

A crucial scene in the movie is when N.W.A. is questioned by a reporter on the “glamorization” of their lifestyle, which consisted primarily of violence and drugs. Ice Cube, played by O’Shea Jackson Jr., responds with, “Our art is a reflection of our reality,” proving they were merely rapping about what they witnessed and went through in Compton.

“F--- tha Police,” an N.W.A song so popular that it is No. 425 on the Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” list, was not about the violence they saw by people who were from their neighborhood. Rather, it was about the policemen who were supposed to keep peace in their neighborhoods but instead abused their powers.

In an interview by the Wall Street Journal titled, “Ice Cube and Son on ‘Straight Outta Compton’,” with Ice Cube and O’Shea Jackson Jr., the reporter asks Ice Cube what he thinks of the recent widespread media coverage of police brutality.

Cube explains that he doesn’t believe times are so much different as far as the amount of police brutality, but it is still a problem that can be brought out of the shadows and into public attention.

Cube goes on to talk about how this problem of police abuse was around before he was even born, but with technology advancing almost every day, it is easier to hold these officers accountable.

Only a few weeks ago, a man named Samuel DuBose was shot after being pulled over for a simple traffic violation, according to a CNN article titled, “University cop indicted for murder in shooting of motorist Samuel DuBose.”

The officer told DuBose he did not have his front license plate when the situation quickly began to escalate. When Dubose seemingly tried to pull away, the officer quickly pulled out his gun and shot DuBose in the head.

After hearing about this incident, I did all the research I could to make sure I had the story straight and even watched the video of the incident. It was an awful sight to see, and the officer was completely wrong to shoot that man. The video and story is still up on the CNN website for anyone to see. The police officer was charged and was sentenced to life in prison.

Although what happened to DuBose was an absolute

tragedy, some people saw it as an opportunity to move forward instead of standing still in a world that remains cruel.

It is time to make a change in the way society views law enforcement and the purpose of the law itself, because it is obvious not all officers are on the same page.

We cannot ignore behavior like this anymore. Policemen have responsibilities to keep this society safe and peaceful.

The policemen who behave aggressively toward certain demographics certainly have a different mindset than most other officers. If these officers can make it through training, obviously something is wrong with the system.

It does take much to become a police officer, as there is quite a bit of training and testing.

This only makes me wonder how people like the officer who killed DuBose become qualified. After seeing the different videos, articles and police reports, it seems the officer was unstable and therefore unfit to be a cop.

The movie “Straight Outta Compton” heightens the awareness of police brutality in society and shows it is still a problem today. This issue is coming out from behind the shadows, which means that the policemen who disgrace the American police force cannot hide behind their badges any longer. opinions@dailytoreador.com

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Legal experts see no criminal trouble for Clinton thus far WASHINGTON (AP) — Experts in government secrecy law see almost no possibility of criminal action against Hillary Clinton or her top aides in connection with now-classified information sent over unsecure email while she was secretary of state, based on the public evidence thus far.

Some Republicans, including leading GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, have called Clinton’s actions criminal and compared her situation to that of David Petraeus, the former CIA director who was prosecuted after giving top secret information to his paramour.

Others have cited the case of another past CIA chief, John Deutch, who took highly classified material home.

But in both of those cases, no one disputed that the information was highly classified and in many cases top

secret. Petraeus pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor; Deutch was pardoned by President Bill Clinton.

By contrast, there is no evidence of emails stored in Hillary Clinton’s private server bearing classified markings. State Department officials say they don’t believe that emails she sent or received included material classified at the time. And even if other government officials dispute that assertion, it is extremely difficult to prove anyone knowingly mishandled secrets.

“How can you be on notice if there are no markings?” said Leslie McAdoo, a lawyer who frequently handles security-clearance cases.

Clinton’s critics have focused on the unusual, homebrew email server Clinton used while in office and suggested that she should have known that secrets

were improperly coursing through an unsecure system, leaving them easily hackable for foreign intelligence agencies. But to prove a crime, the government would have to demonstrate that Clinton or aides knew they were mishandling the information — not that she should have known.

A case would be possible if material emerges that is so sensitive Clinton must have known it was highly classified, whether marked or not, McAdoo said. But no such email has surfaced.

And among the thousands of documents made public, nothing appears near the magnitude of the Top Secret material Petraeus and Deutch mishandled.

Trump, last week, argued differently, saying Petraeus’ case involved “far less important documents.” Clinton’s documents, he told Fox

Petraeus, a married former four-star general who headed the CIA from 20112012, admitted he gave his biographer and lover, Paula Broadwell, journals containing Top Secret information.

These included “the identifies of covert officers, war strategy, intelligence capabilities and mechanisms, diplomatic discussions, quotes and deliberative discussions from high-level National Security Council meetings . and discussions with the president of the United States,” according to court documents.

Petraeus also admitted lying to the FBI, while his emails showed he knew the journals contained highly classified information.

aylor University is starting off the school year in the spotlight, but not for good reason. Recent sexual assault allegations and improper handling of a specific case on Baylor’s part has left the college facing major scrutiny in one of its most important areas: college football.

In 2013, Samuel Ukwuachu was a promising recruit for the Baylor Bears defensive end, despite being kicked out of Boise State University for the assault of his thengirlfriend. In an ESPN article by Max Olson, Baylor’s head football coach Art Briles claimed that when he was contacted by former Boise State University coach Chris Petersen, any information regarding Ukwuachu’s violent past was not disclosed.

Briles said in the article that during their phone call, he was only told Ukwuachu was experiencing depression because of a rocky relationship with his ex-girlfriend and was interested in Baylor because he wanted to be closer to home.

Unfortunately for Briles, Petersen quickly denied this, saying in a statement that during the phone call with Briles, all information concerning Ukwuachu’s disciplinary records and his dissmissal was disclosed, according to the article.

Despite Ukwuachu’s past, maybe Briles thought he was on a path to become a better man. Maybe Briles thought he knew he made a mistake and would never harm a woman again. Maybe Briles thought Ukwuachu was so excited to have another opportunity to play college football that he would be on his best behavior.

Briles thought wrong.

Samuel Ukwuachu was only in Waco for a few months before being found guilty of sexually assaulting a former Baylor soccer player in Ukwuachu’s home, according to a CNN article titled, “What did Baylor know before football player’s sexual assault conviction?”

Ukwuachu was not a changed man. After all, these are the only incidents that the public knows about; no one truly knows how many women have been victims of sexual assault or physical abuse by him.

According to the article, the Baylor woman told the university of the sexual assault, but it was determined that there was not enough evidence against Ukwuachu,

so the woman called the police in hopes that something would be done.

In June 2014, Ukwuachu was indicted by a grand jury on two previous counts of sexual assault, but he was still on the roster to play for the university. According to an article by Jake New titled “Black Eye for Baylor,” last month, Baylor’s defensive coordinator Phil Bennett said Ukwuachu was still expected to play with his teammates for the upcoming season.

On Thursday, Ukwuachu was found guilty and sentenced to six months in jail and 10 months probation.

Now that Ukwuachu has been found guilty, Petersen and Briles are pointing fingers, both accusing the other of hiding information. According to the article, Ukwuachu later admitted Baylor coaches knew everything about his past at Boise State prior to his transfer.

This is the second sexual assault case involving a Baylor football player within the past two years, according to New’s article.

These scandals lead me to wonder what lengths will football coaches go to in order to have a winning team.

It is very appalling that Baylor coaches were going to allow Ukwuachu to play solely on the basis he had not been found guilty yet.

Even after the sexual assault claims from a Baylor student, one would think the coaches would have at least taken him off the roaster until the matter was settled.

Athletes have an infamous history for being able to float through school academically just so they are able to play football. I went to a very football centered high school (we are in Texas after all) and I remember in some of my teachers would let the football players skip out on assignments and even bump up their test grades.

This just goes to show the lengths people will go to just for athletes to be able to play on the field. Regardless of a person’s status, I believe everyone should be held accountable for his or her own actions. opinions@dailytoreador.com

HSC student appointed to medical board

BY JENNIFER ROMERO L a Vida Editor

Te x a s Te c h e d u c a t e s more than just undergraduates, and students at the Health Sciences Center have unique opportunities in the medical field.

On June 1, Governor Greg Abbott appointed Christina Delgado, a second-year speech-language pathology student from Florida, as the student representative for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

“I was in complete shock,” Delgado said. “I was quite surprised when I got the call, and I was very honored.”

The THECB opened the application process last November, according to its website, and the student

governments at Texas institutions selected five applicants from their schools in January DELGADO to continue through the process.

The chancellor at each school then selected two students by Feb. 1, and Abbott selected Delgado from these remaining applicants.

As the student representative, Delgado is required to attend quarterly board meetings and board committee meetings as scheduled.

“I need to stay informed on the issues,” she said.

“There’s lots of reading that I do, listening to students and talking with some of the student reagents. I need to present the student

perspective and the student concerns on the policies the board is making.”

While Delgado has some specific issues she wants to voice her opinion on, she said right now she is focused on learning as much as she can.

Her professors and administration members have been supportive of her new position, and Delgado said the support has encouraged her.

Sherry Sancibrian, the director of the speech-language pathology program, said it was great to have a Tech student appointed as the student representative.

“I think (Christina) is a great student who is dedicated to her studies,” Sancibrian said. “Being a graduate student, she’s focused on the end goal of

getting a job as a speechlanguage pathologist.”

Delgado said she knows where she wants to start out in her career, but she is more flexible about the route her career will take as it progresses.

Originally Delgado did not know what career she wanted to pursue, but she said she decided on speechlanguage pathology during her undergraduate studies.

“I knew that I liked service type professions,” she said. “It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do. During my undergrad I discovered a love for linguistics. Through linguistics I found a passion for speech pathology.”

Delgado has learned a variety of skills while studing at the HSC, and she said she is happy with her

decision to attend Tech.

Sancibrian has had Delgado in classes, and Sancibrian said Delgado always speaks up and is interested in continuing to have standards for the students’ curriculum.

By being the student representative for the THECB, Delgado will have opportunities to learn how committees handle different issues.

“She’ll also get some good networking opportunities,” Sancibrian said. “I can see Christina in the future wanting to serve on the licensure board or some other regulatory agency. It will be a great proving ground for her to see how she likes board service.”

The student representative tenure lasts until May 31, according to the THECB website, and Delgado will

on social media. If no one else is willing to say it, I will.

The United States of America has gone soft and morally weak. This country is no longer the role model of unity, freedom and liberty for other countries to aspire to become.

Citizens are getting involved in hate wars on social media and even in person about issues that should simply be talked over in a civil manner or just ignored. Hate crimes, once a social anomaly, are becoming the new generation of terror attacks. How is this nation expected to defend itself against foreign terrorists when its own citizens are more concerned about the “comment war” occurring on Twitter or an “offensive selfie” posted on Instagram from a user who is most likely insecure about themselves?

Along with the social media storm that has left so many in its wake, another issue with today’s generation and technology is the distraction from actual human interaction. I have observed countless occasions of eyes glued to screens instead of other people, as well as couples sitting close together

on what was supposed to be a romantic date with their attention focused on a five-inch screen instead of their partners.

The age of the smartphone has destroyed relationships and has robbed so many others of their independent thoughts, opinions and connections with other people. People crave individualized attention that a mention in a status or a tag in a picture simply cannot satisfy.

Are technology and social media unnecessary in all situations of life? No. New technology has allowed our society to

s technology has evolved into userfriendly and distracting devices, our generation has become faceless. The eyes of teens and young adults are glued to devices ranging from cell phones to tablets to laptops almost 24/7.

What is it that is so demanding of our attention that it prevents us from having more human and emotional interaction? From my perspective, it is nothing but political garb, tragic news events over social issues that should not even affect our generation and posts from entitled, selfish teens who have no common sense about the content they post.

The explosion of social media has allowed users to post their personal opinions and inappropriate content in a way that showcases that material to nearly everyone. In the majority of situations, this very content offends one person or a group of people either personally or in a general sense.

Yes. Is everyone entitled to their opinion without fear of judgment from others? Absolutely. Does that mean they are entitled to post every aspect of an opinion on social media with the intention of upsetting or devastating others? Absolutely not.

FOOTBALL

Linebacker group improved

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

After a long offseason with no bowl games following the 2014 football season, the team had more time to improve in the offseason.

Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said the linebackers are the position group that has improved the most since the start of the offseason.

“Just none of those guys have played a ton,” he said.

“I feel like (the linebackers have) progressed nicely.

Not where we want them to be yet, but excited to watch them in that first game.”

The three starting linebackers have started a combined four games throughout their time as Red Raiders.

Senior linebacker Micah Awe has all four of those starts, as he will be the starting middle linebacker this season. Awe is also the only senior of the three positions.

Awe said since he has always played behind former Tech linebacker Sam Eguavoen except for the four games when Eguavoen was injured last year, he has taken on a completely different mindset going into this season knowing that he will be the starter.

“I have a dynamic I need

to play,” Awe said. “It’s different from last year but it’s a learning process for me because I need to learn how to get my other teammates going.”

In addition to Kingsbury naming the linebackers as the most improved positions group, he said Awe has matured as much as any player on the team this offseason.

“You can see now he’s not out there thinking. He’s reacting. I think you’ll see him all over the field Saturday, showing up and making plays. He’s been as good as any linebacker I’ve been around in camp as far as making plays so far,” Kingsbury said. “So it’s going to be fun to watch him Saturday.”

Junior linebackers Kris Williams and Malik Jenkins will start alongside Awe on Saturday.

Former five-star linebacker recruit Mike Mitchell will play this season after sitting out a year because of transfer rules.

In an attempt to find Mitchell more playing time this season, he has been practicing at both linebacker and defensive end positions.

When the Red Raiders released their latest depth chart on Sunday, Mitchell was not listed on the two-deep.

Kingsbury said Mitchell is going to get playing time,

“He’ll play Saturday. It’s just Mike, you all put a lot on Mike, and rightfully so,” he

said. “He’s a big-time recruit, very physical, very athletic, so we just kind of put the guys that have been here and rolled with it.” @JeremyK_DT

VOLLEYBALL

Tech libero Foust earns Big 12 Conference honors Senior defensive specialist and libero Carlie Foust earned her first career Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week award, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Foust led the Texas Tech volleyball team in digs at Tech’s home weekend tournament, The Tech Invitational.

The Amarillo native’s performance versus the Utah State Aggies in game one of the tournament fell one dig shy of tying her career high at the time of 15 digs.

Foust, however, set new career-high numbers by recording 18 digs in Tech’s 3-0 win over Louisiana Lafayette and

29 in Tech’s final win of the Tech invitational against Houston.

Foust finished the tournament with a conference-leading 61 digs, an average of 6.1 per set.

“The great thing about Carlie this weekend was her quality of positioning and seeing the game that led to being prepared to make

some important plays for the team,” Flora said in the release.

Tech heads to Nacogdoches next for the Stephen F. Austin Invitational. The Red Raiders open the tournament against Columbia at 10 a.m.

FOOTBALL

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Before preseason football camp started, when he was at Big 12 Conference Media Day, Kingsbury said he wanted to name a starter early in camp, but things have gone a different direction.

The choice is between sophomore Patrick Mahomes II and junior Davis Webb, and Kingsbury had originally said naming one of them as a starter early would allow the starter to get the majority of the reps with the first-team offense.

Tech is less than a week away from the first game, and a starter has yet to be named to the media and fans, but Kingsbury said it is not because the decision is too hard.

“I just liked the way it was going,” he said. “It wasn’t that anything was hard. I just liked the competition. I liked the way guys were playing. I liked the way our team was handling it and so we just rolled with it.”

The competition has shown how tough both of them are, Washington said, but the two quarterbacks also have their differences.

Webb has more experience than the sophomore Mahomes, compiling 14 starts to Mahomes’ four, but the real difference comes in their ability to carry the ball on their own.

Throughout his 14 starts, the most yards Webb has ever rushed for in a game is 20, which he did against UTEP last year.

Mahomes, however, in 10 less appearances, has already outdone his counterpart, rushing for 32 yards when he took on the Iowa State Cyclones last season.

“They’re really different in their own ways,” Tech offensive coordinator Eric Morris said, “and so we can get a lot of things in this offense with both of them.”

The differences are not that drastic, Kingsbury said, and wide receivers and offensive linemen do not have to change their style of play when switching between the two quarterbacks.

Looking at it on paper, Kingsbury said Mahomes is better at extending plays with his feet, while Webb is able to check the plays before the snap more consistently.

One of the other differences between the two quarterbacks is their listed height, but Kingsbury said that should not affect the competition very much, if at all.

Mahomes is the shorter of the two, listed at 6 feet 3 inches, while Webb checks in at 6 feet 5 inches.

“I don’t buy into (height) much,” Kingsbury said.

“You look at (Seattle Seahawks quarterback) Russell Wilson. He’s been to the last two Super Bowls, and I coached (former Houston quarterback) Case Keenum who owns every Division-I record and then (former Texas A&M quarterback) Johnny (Manziel) won the Heisman, and they’re both 6-foot or under. I think it’s highly overrated, I’d say.”

Kingsbury said he feels like both of his quarterbacks could start for a Division-I team, even listing them on the depth chart with “or” between their names.

They both have the talent, he said, but he also is not going to take out the one who starts quickly if things start roughly. Kingsbury said he is confident in either player’s ability to work through adversity.

“We listed them as or because we feel like we have two starters,” he said.

“Two guys that can win games and two guys that deserve to be the starter.

But you can only play one, so we’ll play one and see how it goes.” @EvCorder_DT
