Student adds World Record to resume

By AKHILA REDDY

L a Vida Editor

eremy Munoz has a taste for danger.

From breathing fire to juggling chainsaws to the challenging feat of breaking a Guinness World Record by wearing 287 ties at once, Munoz, a junior computer science major from Ozona, does not hold back, nor plans to as he begins his quest to break as many world records as possible.

“Performing is my passion,” Munoz said. “(The ties) are just one side of my performing thing but there’s more that I want to do.”

Munoz first dreamt of breaking a world record when he was seven after poring over his first edition of the Guinness World Record book.

“I knew I wanted a world record and I collected the books and I still collect them,” Munoz said. “I thought it would be so cool if I could get a record, you know, and I saw all these interviews on people getting records and so I just started trying to get one.”

After a failed attempt to break the record for longest saxophone marathon on a RipStick, Munoz decided to

utilize his extensive tie collection to break his first world record for wearing the most ties at once on April 4.

Munoz had been collecting ties since high school, when they became his thing, he said. Munoz just likes ties and even posts a different tie-knot on his social media accounts every day.

“I was like I have way more than 270 ties, so I went ahead for the record,” Munoz said.

The previous record holder for most ties worn at once was a woman from the U.K. who wore 270 ties, Munoz said. Halfway through putting on the ties, the previous record holder had to wear a snorkel so she could breathe.

Putting on the ties was surprisingly intense and difficult, he said, because they got so high it started to feel claustrophobic and constricting.

“At first you’re like ‘Oh this is easy’ and then it like just gets up here,” Munoz said. “Your shoulders and then your neck starts hurting you can’t breathe, it’s really hot and you’re burning up, and you just kind of gotta go for it.”

Secondary struggles early on, tough tests ahead

TTUHSC School of Medicine names new department chair

By AUSTIN WATTS Managing Editor

Over the offseason and throughout training camp, Texas Tech’s secondary was poised to show major improvement from last season, as the team returned every starting defensive back from last year’s team, but following a string of events leading up to and through the game against Ole Miss, Tech’s secondary now faces the potential of being without the majority of its starters for the upcoming game against Lamar.

The first road bump for the secondary came in camp, as starting senior Octavious Morgan was ruled out for the season following an injury. Despite losing Morgan, Tech’s secondary had the depth and experience to absorb the loss, but the injury was far from the last

thing the secondary would have to adapt to.

The next major struggle came in the form of a hamstring injury that hampered senior safety Jah’Shawn Johnson and affected his availability going into the season. Listed as a “game time decision” heading into the Ole Miss game, Johnson did not play, and his absence was notable against Ole Miss’s strong passing attack.

Things continued to get worse for the Red Raiders after kickoff, as junior starting cornerback Desmon Smith was ejected following a review on a potential targeting call. The lone bright side of Smith’s ejection was that it happened midway through the first quarter, so the ejection will not hamper Smith’s availability heading into the game against Lamar.

Dr. Santhosh K. G. Koshy has been named the new chair of the Department of Internal Medicine for the Texas KOSHY Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine.

Dr. Koshy previously worked for the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center School of Medicine where he served as the director of Interventional Cardiology, vice chair of the Department of Medicine, and chief of Medicine and chief of Cardiovascular Services at the Regional One Health Hospitals and Clinics, according to a Texas Tech news release.

Dr. Koshy completed a fellow-

ship in cardiology at the University of Missouri Columbia and an Interventional Cardiology and Peripheral Interventions fellowship at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He also led population-based multidisciplinary disease management programs in heart failure, diabetes and hypertension, according to the release.

“Dr. Koshy brings with him a rich and diverse background in medical practice groups and education,” Dr. Steven L. Berk, TTUHSC executive vice president, provost and School of Medicine dean, said in the release. “We know his clinical and administrative expertise will be critical in the continued success of our Department of Internal Medicine.”

Texas ranks poorly for women’s equality

By MATTHEW SETZEKORN News Editor

According to a recent study conducted by WalletHub, a financial based website, Texas was found to be the third worst state for women’s equality. To determine this, WalletHub looked at three main points: workplace environment, education, health and political empowerment.

In terms of workplace environment, Texas ranked number 37. In terms of education and health, Texas ranked number 45.

In terms of political empowerment, Texas ranked number 47. All of these aspects combined made Texas the third-worst state for women’s equality.

“The methodology for the study was developed in conjunction with experts and academics in the field o f w o m e n ’s a n d g e n d e r studies,” Jill Gonzalez, an analyst for WalletHub, said. “The metrics were chosen based on their insight, as well as availability of data. Some of the sources for the data used to create the ranking were: The Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.”

Although the country as a whole has improved when it comes to women’s equality, Gonzalez said this is still an issue the country continues to face.

“Unfortunately, according to the World Economic Forum, the U.S. ranked 49th in 2017 based on gender equality,” Gonzalez said. “Despite the fact that women’s rights have advanced a lot in the country, many still struggle due to unequal treatment.”

A few Tech students have felt this inequality on campus, as well. Rainey Rizzo, a senior public relations major from Tomball, said Tech has a lot of strong women in leadership roles, such as teachers and professors.

“I personally have been blessed with a many female teachers who fulfill strong, intelligent roles within Texas Tech’s campus. As always, there are less women in positions of power. I am realistic enough to say I believe this isn’t calculated but it’s because that’s the way things have always been,” Rizzo said.

“I hope that over time, we will see a more equal representation of women in leadership roles. I believe these women give hope to those that might doubt their own dreams.”

Carol A. Sumner, vice president of the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, said the problem is visible from an administrative level as well.

“As I was doing my research, I was clicking through the website and I was like ‘I don’t see any women of color, I don’t see them in leadership

roles’ and I spoke to that because I thought because people make a lot of decisions based on what they see,” Sumner said. “So, when you start looking at the executive council, not in the academic areas, you do see that there are women and men in leadership.”

When looking at possible candidates for positions within the university, Sumner said there is a lot more factors involved in the decision-making process than one may realize.

“I’ve met with a number of faculty and deans from across the institution that are saying ‘We are very much interested in how we recruit and retain diverse faculty and staff.’ and it’s an educational process because it doesn’t have to be overt,” Sumner said. “It’s not as straight forward as just hiring someone because they are a member of this group or they are a member of this group but what are their experiences.”

Sumner said it is important for the university to listen to its students and work together with them for their voices to be heard and make the change that they want to see in their school.

“What do students see as the way to organize? How do they see themselves coming together? To not only understand their voice, but to recognize their agency, their ability to impact change,” Sumner said. “It is done in working across the institution with multiple partners.”

Sumner also said the female students that are taking on leadership roles within student organizations and clubs across the university are taking the right steps when it comes to affecting change.

“I have worked with a number of female students who have said to me that they have identified leadership roles because they want to be able to be change agents,” Sumner said. “The president of MGC (Multicultural Greek Council) and the vice president of MGC are both women.

The president of the African Student Organization is a young woman. The president of the Black Student Association is a woman. The vice president in student government is a woman.”

LOCAL

One thing Sumner said that was quite beautiful about the female population in the Tech community was how they come together during tough times.

Although Sumner has only been at the university for a couple of months, she has already had to deal with serious issues such as the recent “Frat Chat”. She noticed many students came together to support one another.

“There was a recognition that ‘hey this thing has happened, and this is not who we are and yet the reality is this is what happened in our community. We have to figure out what are we doing to address this,’” Sumner said. “The young women that I saw sitting in the room that said ‘I have the ability to be

empathetic and understand no one wants to be in the place that those six young men were in.’”

Rizzo agrees that Tech has been doing a good job with inclusion, especially when it comes to having women in leadership roles. However, she feels that the university still has a way.

“I believe that Texas Tech ought to maintain its code of conduct more strictly. Promote diversity, encourage free thought and esteem those organizations that give power to minorities of all types,” Rizzo said. “I want Texas Tech to become a pillar of tolerance and equality in our country, and I think we have a few more steps to take before we get there.” @MattSetzekornDT

Grad student cultivates recovery community

By BRENNA HALE Staff Writer

September is known as National Recovery Month, an observance meant to highlight treatment and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.

Graduate student Terry Don Mooney certainly has a lot to celebrate: his own recovery, a hard-earned degree, a community that embraces him, and his unique role in supporting others in their journey through recovery.

Mooney has been in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction since 1989, marking his 29th year clean and sober. He has been on staff at the Texas Tech Center for the Study of Addiction and Recovery as a student assistant since 2015.

“I, myself, started in the seventh grade,” Mooney said. “That’s really when my addiction took off. Back then, it was a social or moral issue. It wasn’t seen as a disease, so it was tough finding help. I barely made it out of high school alive.”

After high school, Mooney enlisted in the U.S. Army and said he loved having the opportunity to travel and spend three years in Europe. But when he left the Army, he continued to struggle with addiction. Mooney enrolled in college in 1989, during his first year of recovery.

“I didn’t have the tools or the networking, so I bombed out of Tech,” Mooney said.

“I blew it. That’s when I got introduced to the center, way, way back.”

Mooney lost hearing in his right ear, so he was presented the opportunity to go back to school in 2014, through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, which he said changed his life.

At 55 years old, Mooney is “definitely a non-traditional student,” and is the selfproclaimed “coolest kid on campus.” He can be seen riding his Harley around campus, has given guest lectures and has served as a teaching assistant in several courses

If I can reach one person, I’ve done my job. That’s what I’ve found in recovery.

It’s the best feeling in the world.

DON MOONEY GRADUATE STUDENT dealing with addiction.

“I just love it,” Mooney said. “Especially addiction courses here on campus, it’s something that’s really unique to Tech. A lot of schools have this mindset against addicts, instead of viewing that as an opportunity for change, to allow them to grow.”

Mooney said the Center of Addiction and Recovery, is completely donor-funded, and is one of the largest in the county, with over 120 student members. The center helps out-of-state students or

students from other colleges with low GPAs because of addiction to receive in-state tuition after they have gone through their rigorous application process.

“Most of the students in the center actually have some of the highest GPAs as a rule,” Mooney said. “I know for me, as an older student who really struggled in high school, coming back, I had something to prove, and I graduated with honors. What we’ve found in most students, including myself, is the more involved they are here, the better they do academically, because we do hold them accountable.”

The Center is equipped with its own advisor to help students with scheduling, and its own computer lab and printing services.

Mooney said their philosophy is that education and recovery are conjoined.

“Their success is our success,” Mooney said. “We want to help students not only recover but to succeed academically. Everything I do today is because of my recovery and the institutions for people in recovery, especially this center. A lot of people view recovery as one thing and education as another, but we view them as being interlocked.”

Donovan Gilliam, a senior accounting major who is on staff at the center while working through his own recovery, credits Mooney with contributing to his success. “ H e ’s v e r y k i n d a n d loving, and he would do anything for you,” Gilliam said. “I came here origi-

nally in 2011 as a freshman, and then obviously addiction kind of put me on a different path. When I finally came back and got involved with the center, he was very helpful in regard to doing school, but in recovery, because it’s a little different.”

Mooney compares the camaraderie that has developed among the center’s members to that which he experienced in the military. In addition to weekly programs organized at the center, the group takes trips to football games and even participates in a study abroad program to create a community of students and educators who experience life together.

“There are probably 130 collegiate recovery programs across the nation,” Mooney said. “Here, it’s a pretty tight knit group. I mean we really care about each other, we literally embrace each other’s successes and failures because life is kind of tricky sometimes.”

George Comiskey, associate director of external relations of the center, has known Mooney for four years. Comiskey cites Mooney’s mindfulness of others as his greatest contribution to the center, along with the insight provided by his long history of recovery.

He said Mooney’s unwavering standards for himself in recovery has molded the community around him.

“Aside from his community piece, he comes from a very different background, and he’s kind of old school in a lot of ways,” Comiskey

Mooney has been in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction since 1989. said. “He’s deeply established in traditional recovery. As the years go on and younger people come in to recovery, you see fewer people like Terry in recovery communities, especially collegiate recovery communities.”

Mooney is currently working toward a master’s degree to be a licensed professional counselor. He has been working in the treatment field for three and a half years. In addition to his work at the center, he works at a for-profit counseling center in Lubbock.

While he is transitioning out of being on staff, he is still

just as involved in life around the center as he was when he worked there. After completing his master’s, Mooney said he plans to pursue his doctorate at Tech so he can satisfy his desire to teach at a junior college or larger university.

“I like that connection with students, cause it’s not about me anymore,” Mooney said. “I want a Ph.D. because I have a passion for sharing this with others, for education. Because if I can reach one person, I’ve done my job.

That’s what I’ve found in recovery. It’s the best feeling in the world.” @BrennaHaleDT

Study uses 3D technology to create better fit

By BRIANNA MALDONADO Staff Writer

In an attempt to help clothing designers and manufacturers comprehend the way humans are shaped now, Human Solutions created a nationwide sizing survey using 3D body scan technology.

Human Solutions has traveled to over 40 locations across the country to collect information on body measurements with their survey, Size NorthAmerica.

With Lubbock being one the company’s last stops before heading to Canada, representatives encourage Lubbock citizens and Texas Tech students to participate in one of the sizing surveys.

Chad Shehdan, the Size NorthAmerica representative and 3D body scan coordinator, said the study will provide a sample size of the population to give manufacturers data on how to better design cars and apparel to match people.

“It will give a more precise average of what their target market is,” Shehdan said.

“There’s been sizing surveys since the 60s, but they only took into consideration certain ethnicities, so we have quotas for each ethnicity, each age range and each geographical location, so it’s a lot more accurate and representative.”

According to their website, the study is looking for participants that fall into certain categories of ethnicity and race: Hispanic, African American, and Asian ages 6-years-old to 75-years-

old, then White ages 6-yearsold to 17-years-old.

Tatum Quinn, a senior general studies major from Iowa Park, said she noticed the green and white trailer as she was walking down the street, when a Size NorthAmerica representative approached her to participate in the study. Quinn said the $20 visa gift card given at the end of the scan is what encouraged her to participate in the study.

The process took around 20 minutes and included a demographic questionnaire online, followed by a 3D

body scan where participants stand and sit in four different positions, Quinn said.

This data will last so long. It will be bigger, wider and more reliable data.

SU-JEONG HWANG SHIN APPAREL DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING PROGRAM DIRECTOR According to the survey’s privacy statement, to maximize the value of the sizing results the study asks the participants be scanned dressed with the undergarments they provide. However, the scan occurs in a private booth and is discrete and respectful, according to the privacy statement.

Su-Jeong Hwang Shin, the program director of the Department of Design, said the company approached her

in the past and she thought the study would be a good opportunity for Tech.

“This data will last so long,” Hwang said. “It will be bigger, wider and more reliable data.”

As the study has been going on for almost a year, Hwang said the goal is set at 18,000 participants to have completed the study, a number large enough to represent the whole population.

Hwang said they need 500 participants from Lubbock before they leave for Canada.

Size NorthAmerica will be in Lubbock until Oct. 7.

The study is from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. but is closed Sunday and Monday. It is held in a green and white trailer located between the Texas Tech Plaza parking lot and McAllister’s on University Avenue. At the end of the questionnaire and body scan participants receive a $20 visa gift card.

Sign-ups are available online at sizenorthamerica. com, but the company also accepts walk-ins. @DailyToreador

Jordan Peterson’s messages twisted by critics I generally refrain from talking about specific people in my writings, but today I am going to make an exception for a famous Canadian Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Jordan Peterson, who has become the subject of criticism or veneration depending on who you are talking to.

Drew Welty is a senior psychology major from Dallas.

vard and, for a longer period, the University of Toronto. He has a respectable body of research behind him, with over 6,300 citations, consisting of over 130 research items, according to his website.

Peterson has spent a large amount of his career trying to understand Nazi Germany as well as the communist revolutions of Europe in the 20th century. Many psychologists, Peterson included, do this to try and understand how human beings can commit such atrocities. He has asked his students over several decades, “Well, if you were in Germany in the 1930s could you be a concentration camp guard?”

He then goes on to elaborate on the fact that human beings were Nazis, and that means that “the Nazi is Us.” This view runs deeply through Peterson’s philosophy not only in the case of Nazis,

but rather a skepticism towards the idea that humans are inherently good. His message is one of self-improvement, responsibility, and avoidance of resentment fueled malevolent action.

So, why has he become so controversial? The controversy surrounding Peterson’s views comes from how he was cast into the public eye during a controversy at his university.

The Canadian government was pushing a bill called Bill C-16. Jordan claimed that given the surrounding polices of the Ontario Human Rights code, C-16 would compel the speech of Canadians by forcing them to use a person’s preferred gender pronouns.

Peterson made several YouTube videos criticizing the bill, due to its potential for compulsion of speech, the university he taught at erupted in protest against him. He was attacked for supposedly attacking the trans-community, whatever that means, as well as being associated with Nazi’s, which is ironic considering his career.

Fast forward a couple of years and Peterson is now an international best seller and regularly makes media

appearances on friendly and unfriendly platforms alike. He has become a figure of personal growth and responsibility for one half of the country and a figure of division and hate on the other. Peterson has been on a speaking tour for months where he has filled large theatres all over the country with people intent on listening to his inspirational message about facing down the darkness and difficulty of life; while hit pieces pour out of many media outlets who continually mischaracterize Peterson’s views.

In a piece in The New York Times called “Jordan Peterson, Custodian of the Patriarchy,” Nellie Bowles suggests that Peterson wants to redistribute sex among involuntarily celibate men to decrease male violence.

This is based on Peterson’s assertions about polyamorous societies being incredibly violent. Peterson responded to this claim by saying the following, “That was funny in some sense, because my sense is that if you want to pillory someone you should attribute to them views that someone

somewhere has had, and the implication of that part of the New York Times article was that I wanted to take nubile young women at the point of a gun, under state enforcement, and deliver them to useless men. Its like, no one has ever believed that.”

Peterson was asked if there were follow up questions about the enforced monogamy statement to clarify that he meant socially encored monogamy. Peterson said there were follow up questions, but of course they didn’t make them into the piece.

This is a common theme I have seen from media outlets.

It appears to me that once they realize Peterson’s views aren’t that controversial they need to salvage the interview and be deliberately dishonest about his positions.

This happened during a video interview Peterson did with Vice in which the heated moment of the interview centered around sexual harassment in the workplace. Peterson asks a question about whether makeup should be allowed in the workplace due to its evolutionary roots in attempting to cause sexual

arousal and then quickly clarifies that he isn’t in fact saying people shouldn’t wear makeup.

The part where Peterson made clear that he wasn’t saying people shouldn’t wear makeup was conveniently cut out of the short cut Vice originally released, but don’t take my word for it, look up “Jordan Peterson did not say women shouldn’t wear makeup” on YouTube.

You will see Vices dishonesty on full display.

The point of me writing this is to issue a warning to those who are getting Dr. Jordan Peterson’s message from anywhere other than Jordan himself. I would never say everyone has to agree with Peterson, but it does everyone a disservice when they are disagreeing with a straw man of Peterson rather than his actual ideas. I hope we get to a point where the criticisms of Peterson are against his positions rather than lying or calling him names like “mean, mad, White man,” as Michael Eric Dyson called him during a debate on political correctness. @DailyToreador

Disregarding Tech’s honor code compromises institutional integrity

W

e’re now about six days removed from Syllabus Week. For upperclassmen, it looked just about the same way it always has. For Freshmen it was the first time they saw and read and agreed to a code which will become deeply redundant over the next seven semesters.

I’m talking about the Honor Code.

Now, here’s the part where a lot of y’all might check out.

That’s totally fine. In fact, let me provide a disclaimer. Deviants and vandals, see you later. Those who stick gum under tables and write on bathroom walls, look away.

Cheaters and troublemakers, run. This column isn’t for you. You’ve decided to do the opposite of what you’re told and I am not focused on trying to convince you to do otherwise right now.

Instead, I’m writing this to shine a light on the increasing discordance between our rules and the way we follow them. I’m writing this to focus on the way the rest of us — the selfproclaimed hard-workers and the do-gooders and the never-ever-cheat-or-stealers — follow the rules.

Because that is where the

LETTERS The Daily Toreador welcomes letters from readers. Letters must be no longer than 300 words and must include the author’s name,

problem is. Those of us who have always believed we’re on the straight-and-narrow are perhaps the greatest threat to the integrity of honor codes.

Think of our honor code.

Think of what it says; what it demands; what it exists to do. Most of us will probably agree on those three things. There’s no refuting what it says — that’s black letter law right there. What it demands? Well, that coordinates so closely with what it says that we can’t hardly draw a distinction. And what it exists to do is clear. It exists to communicate the standard of integrity we are expected to operate on.

Are we still on the same page? Great.

Because here’s the tricky part. While we all might celebrate the existence and implementation of an honor code, when it becomes too hard to follow, we give in.

And because we’ve established ourselves to ourselves

Anonymous letters will not be accepted for publication. All letters will be verified before they are published. Letters can be emailed to dailytoreador@ ttu.edu or brought to 180 Media and Communication. Letters should be sent in before 3 p.m. to ensure the editors have enough time to verify and edit the submission.

as people of outstanding moral character — I mean, we’re not vandalizing bathrooms, after all — it becomes a lot easier to excuse a minor violation of the honor code on account of our overarching adherence to it.

So, answers to online tests are googled or friends sign each other into class or takehome exams are worked on in groups.

Let me say, real quick, anyone who knows me can confirm my goodie-twoshoe status, so I promise I’m not speaking from experience. However, I am speaking from the experience of being a young lady who just graduated from a public university.

I am speaking from the experience of being a woman who served on Texas Tech’s conduct review committee; who actually points out when teachers make an error grading and give me extra points; who didn’t even chew gum in class until high school because it wasn’t allowed; and who is now in law school and is realizing that the honor code I’ve been presented with up to this point is nearly identical to the one

I have now, but until now it was grossly underenforced.

While this is not supposed to be some sort of referendum on those who have been tasked with enforcing our honor code, it is meant to draw attention to the fact that we have created an ethical safety net of negligible relevance.

What I mean by this is that instead of maintaining the diligence required to make a code such as ours effective, we have simply developed and then disregarded the very code to which we claim to adhere in favor of one of our own formation.

We create our own personal moral playbook which makes it easier to bend the rules when the rigidity we’ve feigned becomes too obstructive.

And even further, we assume that everyone around us is behaving morally enough and then we look away when they’re not.

We don’t hold each other accountable and we don’t act with the urgency of someone who understands the delicate system of mutual responsibility. And I see the truth of this even more clearly now that I’ve started law school. Everyone around me is being held

GUEST COLUMNS The Daily Toreador accepts submissions of unsolicited guest columns. While we cannot acknowledge receipt of all columns, the authors of those selected for publication will be notified. Guest columns should be no longer than 650 words in length and on a topic of relevance to the university community. Guest columns are also edited and follow the same guidelines for letters as far as identification and submittal.

— tightly, diligently, unwaveringly held — to the same moral standard I am being held to. If we break that code or fail to meet that standard, our legal careers end.

And here’s the problem: This is the first time I’ve ever been held to this standard, which seems odd considering it is the same code I was governed by throughout my time as an undergraduate student.

Again, this is not so much a referendum on our great university, but instead a call to the rest of us, to those who the code is meant to govern. We have no greater obligation to our school than the obligation to ensure it is integrity.

The students are the ones who are doing the lying and the cheating, not the professors. And because that is true, we are the ones who are tasked with upholding our honor code. When we abandon that code — even just once, even only for a moment — we put a crack in our school’s foundation.

MUNOZ

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Isaac De La Cruz, a junior undeclared major from El Paso, has known and been friends with Jeremy since his freshman year of college.

De La Cruz was one of the witnesses when Munoz broke the world record.

“I got a little worried,” De La Cruz said. “It starts to get hard to breathe when it gets to a certain point on his head, and I was like please don’t pass out on us.”

As difficult as the ties came to be they are relatively tame in comparison to some of the other world records Munoz is trying to break. He currently has 20 applications in to get approved for world record attempts.

These applications include most nails in the nose, most matches extinguished with the tongue, most candles extinguished with the tongue, most blowtorches on the tongue, most cutting torches on the tongue, rat traps and mouse traps on the tongue, most tongue clicks in 30 seconds, most fire breathing side flips and more.

“I just like doing these weird things,” Munoz said.

“It’s fun. I don’t like being the same as everyone else. I kind of like doing something different cause I get bored easily so I want to go out and see what’s new and then I discovered this performing world and was like this is fun.”

Walker Whitten, a junior at Angelo State University, has been friends with Munoz since kindergarten. The circus acts started around Jeremy’s freshman year of h i g h

school and have only escalated since then, Whitten said.

“With Jeremy, expect the unexpected. You never know w h a t h e ’s going to do next. The stuff just gets crazier and crazier.

I think through the years he gets better and better with his craft,” Whitten said.

Previous acts of Munoz, which can be viewed on his YouTube page, include putting nails in his nose, a drill in his nose, fire breathing, fire eating, stapling things to his arms, hanging weights from his eyelids, eye sockets, lying on a bed of thumbtacks, nails and more, Whitten said.

LA VIDA Munoz attempted to audition for the university talent show last year but could not perform because his act was too dan-

gerous, Whitten said.

“I was in a chair, my feet were duct taped together and then I was duct taped to the chair and I was chained to the chair and then I had a bag taped over my head, so that’s probably why,” Munoz said. “I mean I got out, but they didn’t really like it.”

M u n o z said he does sometimes get afraid attempting these dangerous acts. Learning to fire breathe at first was especially challenging, he said. He works past these fears by pushing himself to just do it.

“It’s just that initial fear, you got to just like do it. It’s kind of like at a lake or pool, jumping of a high board, just do it, just jump into the water. You’ll be fine,” Munoz said.

Strong Typhoon slams western Japan TOKYO (AP) — A powerful typhoon slammed into western Japan on Tuesday, inundating the region’s main international airport and blowing a tanker into a bridge, disrupting land and air travel and leaving thousands stranded. At least eight people died and scores were injured.

Jebi, reportedly the strongest typhoon to make landfall in Japan since 1993, headed north across the main island of Honshu toward the Sea of Japan. It was off the northern coast of Fukui on Tuesday evening with sustained winds of 126 kilometers per hour (78 miles per hour) and gusts up to 180 kph (110 mph), the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

More than 700 flights were canceled, according to Japanese media tallies.

High-speed bullet train service was suspended from Tokyo west to Hiroshima, though service partially resumed later Tuesday when the typhoon left the region.

More than 1.6 million households remained without power in Osaka, Kyoto and four nearby prefectures late Tuesday, according to Kansai Electric Power Co. High seas poured into Kansai International Airport, built on artificial i s l a n d s i n O s a k a B a y,

flooding one of its two runways, cargo storage and other facilities, and forcing it to shut down, said the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. A passenger was slightly injured by shards from a window shattered by the storm.

A 2,591-ton tanker that was mooring slammed into the side of a bridge connecting the airport to the mainland, damaging the bridge and making it unusable, leaving about 3,000 passengers stranded at the airport, transport ministry official Mitsuo Nakao said.

The tanker was also damaged, but its 11 crewmembers were not injured and remained on board, according to the coast guard.

NHK public television showed passengers sitting or lying on the floor in the airport terminal in the dark without air conditioning.

A man in his 70s died apparently after being blown to the ground from his apartment in Osaka prefecture.

Police said five others died elsewhere in the prefecture after being hit by flying objects or falling from their apartments. In nearby Shiga prefecture, a 71-year-old man died when a storage building collapsed on him, and a man in his 70s died after falling from a roof in

Mie, officials said.

The Fire and Disaster Management Agency said 150 people were injured.

Daihatsu Motor Co. stopped production at its Kyoto and Osaka factories, while Panasonic halted work at its air conditioning and refrigerator factory in Shiga. Major beverage maker Kirin Co. suspended production at its brewery in Kobe, according to Kyodo News agency.

Elsewhere in Osaka, the Universal Studios Japan theme park and U.S. Consulate were both closed. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe canceled a scheduled trip to Kyushu, Japan’s southernmost main island, to oversee the government’s response to the typhoon, said Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga.

In nearby Nishinomiya in Hyogo prefecture, about 100 cars at a seaside dealership were in flames after their electrical systems were shorted out by sea water, fire officials and news reports said.

The typhoon first made landfall on Japan’s southwestern island of Shikoku and then again near Kobe on Honshu. Television footage showed sea water overflowing onto low-lying areas.

Tokyo escaped relatively unscathed, with some intermittent squalls.

Some of his previous acts have had long term physical effects.

Munoz said he can’t feel anything in the front half of his tongue from the mousetraps and fire breathing. His sense of smell comes and goes from putting things in his nose and he can’t feel anything in part of his arms from the stapling.

Although his performances are dangerous and potentially painful, Munoz said he enjoys his ability to shock people by doing the unexpected.

He had always envisioned himself performing but does not know exactly why he is so drawn to this type of performing.

“One percent honest with you, like I guess I tell other people ‘Oh I do it for this reason, or that reason.’ but honestly, I don’t really know. I kind of just do it,” Munoz said.

Munoz considers Philippe Petit, the man who crossed the Twin Towers on a wire, the greatest circus performer of all time. Petit’s answer for why he did the tightrope walk resonates with him, he said.

“When the reporters were asking him why did you do this, he was like ‘There’s no why, I just do.’ and I like that,” Munoz said.

Munoz is 100 percent dedicated to his craft. He does not give himself a limit if he sees something he wants to pursue, he works hard to do it and does not stop, De La Cruz said.

SEPT. 6, 2018 “Some of the smartest, most hardworking people, they’re a little crazy,” De La Cruz said. “But a good crazy.”

Preparing for Munoz’s acts takes a lot of dedication, Whitten said. Munoz prepares extensively before his acts, training with professionals, watching videos and more.

“He always goes for the big time. He doesn’t settle for anything less. He doesn’t believe in playing things safe,” Whitten said. “He applies it to other things besides the acts that he does.

He applies it to school. He would apply it to when we play games or something, you know, he always is determined to do his best and push himself.”

Munoz said he grew up seeing determination and drive in his family, especially in his father, who influenced him. His favorite tie out of

5

his entire collection is his father’s immigration tie.

“My dad is from Mexico, a n d h e ’s n e v e r d r e s s e d up in his life, you know because he works on the rigs, he doesn’t need to,” Munoz said. “So, the only time he’s ever worn this tie or any other tie was when he became an American citizen, and this was the tie he wore, so this is very special to me.”

The tie and what it represents is a motivator for him in all aspects of life, performing and otherwise, Munoz said. His dad started out in life poor to the point of not affording enough food and has made it to where he is today.

“And so, I look at this and I’m like if he can do this, man, I can do it too,” Munoz said. “I can make something of myself.” @AkhilaReddyDT

Red Raiders compete in world championship

By SAMUEL MEDLIN Staff Writer

FILE PHOTO/The Daily Toreador

Former Red Raider Hurly Long tees off at the Texas Tech golf course the Rawls during a practice run. Long will participate in the World Amateur Championship representing Sweden.

Five current and former Red Raiders will be representing their native countries in the World Amateur Team Championship beginning Wednesday, Sept. 5, and concluding Saturday, Sept.

8, at The Montgomerie and O’Meara courses at Carton House near Dublin, Ireland.

Each current and former Tech player will be on a team with other players from their countries, according to igfgolf.com.

The former Tech golfers are Fredrik Nilehn, Hurly Long and Esteban Restrepo, while the current Red Raider participants include junior Sandy Scott and senior Ivan Ramirez.

Both Ramirez and Restrepo will be representing their home country of Columbia, according to Tech Athletics. Nilehn is representing Sweden, Long

is representing Germany and Scott is nearby representing his home country of Scotland.

Last year at the end of the 2017-18 season, four of the five listed golfers were recognized as First Team Academic All-Conference in the Big 12. Long, Nilehn, Ramirez and Scott were the four Red Raiders, according to Tech Athletics.

Restrepo played for Tech from 2011 to 2015, according to Tech Athletics. During his senior season, he claimed two top-10 finishes as well as a scoring average of 73.1 strokes per round.

Ramirez is currently in his senior season, according to Tech Athletics.

He previously recorded a top-10 finish during the 2018-2019 season, tying for ninth place individually at the Carmel Cup in Pebble Beach, California. During Ramirez’s junior season, he claimed two top-5 and three

top-10 finishes, while posting the sixth lowest scoring average in program history with 72.2 strokes per round.

Scott is in the middle of his junior campaign at Tech, according to Tech Athletics. As a freshman, Scott’s best finish was a tie for third individually, and his lowest score on the year being a 67 in the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate Tournament. Last year, Scott posted two top-10 finishes and took part in the Red Raiders’ historic postseason run.

Long is one of the most impressive golfers in Tech program history. As a senior in 2017-2018, Long posted an 11-under par 61 in the first event of the season at the notorious Pebble Beach Golf Links, where he set the newest scoring record for the well-known course, according to Tech Athletics. During his se-

nior campaign, he recorded three top-10s, two top-5s and one individual win, all while posting a scoring average of 72.11 in the fall.

Nilehn is one of the most successful and prolific golfers in program history. Nilehn is tied for the second most individual wins in Tech history, claiming a total of four victories. Additionally, he is tied for ninth in program history for average strokes per round, posting an average of 72.3 in 2016-2017.

In 2017-2018 as a senior, Nilehn claimed four top10s, two top-5s and two individual wins throughout the year. He was listed to the All Big 12 team in addition to being tabbed as the Big 12 Player of The Year and was a semifinalist for the Ben Hogan Award, the Nicklaus Award and the Haskins Award. @SamMedlinDT

hours before the game at Safeco Field. Several players got involved, with catcher Mike Zunino among those trying to break it up.

Moments after Gordon politely asked reporters to leave the locker room, the double doors burst open with players shoving and shouting.

Most of the Seattle players weren’t around after the game to talk about the incident.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury noted in his midweek availability there had been a focus placed on cutting back on the number of penalties Tech committed against Ole Miss, which ultimately dug the team’s grave that much deeper. Moving forward, the team’s hope is to eliminate the excess penalties, with an emphasis on avoiding targeting.

“Yeah, no question, because it is an effort play. He’s going -- the guy’s open. All he sees is the guy open. He doesn’t know where the ball is at, and he’s running to go tackle the guy,” Kingsbury said. “And for that one to not throw a flag on the field and then have it stopped and reviewed, that’s even more frustrating. So, all we can do is make him aware of it. You don’t want to take away their aggressiveness or their hustle or their effort, but you’ve got to teach that, hey, if you’re anywhere near their head, get ready to get ejected.”

Unfortunately for Tech, the same optimism for Smith’s availability against Lamar cannot be shared for senior defensive back Vaughnte Dorsey, who was ejected late in the second half against Ole Miss. Due to the targeting rule for second half ejections, Dorsey will be ineligible for the first half of the Lamar game, further complicating matters for the diminished Red Raider secondary.

Despite all of the missing players, the secondary still has players like junior Justus Parker in place to slow down Lamar ’s offense. In their season opener, the Cardinals threw for 193 yards with three touchdowns en route to a 70-7 win over Kentucky Christian University. The majority of Lamar’s production came through its rushing attack, but with Tech’s secondary limping into this game with Morgan out, Dorsey suspended for the first half and Johnson battling injury.

The Red Raiders will need to be on their toes against the Cardinals, which is what Kingsbury mentioned prior

to the game.

“Yeah, you know, they had a great game last week, scored 70 points, dominated the entire way,” Kingsbury said. “So they’ll be playing with a lot of confidence, disruptive on defense, kind of do it all on offense, so you have to have a great plan and know what you’re doing.”

What would really be the great takeaway for Tech from this game is a chance to get their starters in sync, but with potentially three starters sidelined for this game, it will instead become a learning opportunity for Tech’s young backups, with a tough test against Houston being the next game on the schedule.

Houston junior starting quarterback D’Eriq King threw for 320 yards with three touchdowns in the season opener against Rice, as the Cougars have historically been a strong passing team.

If the Red Raider secondary plays as disorganized as they did against Ole Miss, Tech will struggle to escape with a win against Houston. @AustinWattsDT

Former Tech slugger hired as volunteer assistant coach

By NOAH MICIOTTO Sports Editor

The Texas Tech baseball team announced the hiring of former Red Raider, AllAmerican power-hitting first baseman, Eric Gutierrez as a volunteer assistant coach on Sept. 5.

Gutierrez returns to his alma mater following three years of professional play in the Miami Marlins organization, according to Tech Athletics. The 20th round draft pick spent time playing professionally with the Batavia Muckdogs, Greensboro Grasshoppers, and Jupiter Hammerheads.

Gute brings hitting knowledge to the table for Tech, as the cleanup hitter collected various accolades during his four years at Tech, primarily for his performances at the plate. Gutierrez’ most notable achievement came during his debut year, as he was recognized as an AllAmerican. The All-American recognition in 2013 made him only the 9th Red Raider in program history to receive the honor as a freshman, according to Tech Athletics.

Gutierrez is arguably one of the most accomplished ballplayers to come through

Tech. His tenacity, dependability and ability to launch the baseball out of the park made Gute the player he was.

Gutierrez started in every game of his career at Tech and frequently made a direct impact for the Red Raiders, according to Tech Athletics.

“We are extremely excited for Gute to be joining our staff and program,” Tech coach Tim Tadlock said, according to Tech Athletics. “Gute is one of the more diligent workers our program has ever had and he always had a knack for seeing things on the field.”

After setting the tone his freshman year, Gute played a major role in establishing what the Red Raiders have developed under coach Tadlock’s reign. In 2014, Gutierrez concluded the year with a .302 batting average in addition to hitting 12 bombs and totaling 58 RBIs, according to Tech Athletics.

Both Gutierrez and Tadlock joined the Red Raiders in 2013 and as a result of depending on one another during the adjustment process of joining a new program, the two developed a high level of respect for one another.

“I’m so fortunate to

start my career in Lubbock working alongside coach Tadlock and his amazing staff,” Gutierrez said, according to Tech Athletics.

As Gute got more playing experience, his stats began to increase. Over the course of three years, Gutierrez increased his batting average from .251 his freshman year to .315 as a junior, according to Tech Athletics. Additionally, Gute concluded his third year with a total of 46 RBIs and 20 extra-base hits.

Despite showing growth, Gutierrez had not hit his peak as a ballplayer.

The right-handed hitter truly saved the best for last and ended his senior year with a career high batting average of .333, according to Tech Athletics. Gute had 78 hits during the 2016 season, 13 were launched over the fence. Hitting bombs was something Gutierrez was notorious for, as he competed in the College Home Run Derby in both the 2014 & 2015 seasons.

In his first Home Run Derby appearance, Gute put on quite the show at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska. Gutierrez hit 52 balls over the fence to break the derby record and

A total of 29 of the balls launched off Gutierrez’ bat soared over 400 feet, according to Tech Athletics.

The following year, Gute finished the derby with 17 home runs; missing the final cut, according to Tech Athletics. Gutierrez displayed his

ability to crush the ball and proved to the college baseball community that he was a force to be reckoned with.

With the Red Raiders having such an accomplished assistant coach this season there is plenty of space for one to consider that Tech’s offensive statis-

tics should increase exponentially. Gute is looking forward to getting the Red Raiders bats hot this year.

“I am beyond excited for this opportunity and I’m eager to start the season,” Gutierrez said, according to Tech Athletics. @NoahMiciottoDT

Angels’ Ohtani facing Tommy John surgery Free of suspension, Elliott ready to run ARLINGTON (AP) — Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani has new damage in his pitching elbow and the team says Tommy John surgery has been recommended.

The Angels said Ohtani had an MRI on Wednesday in Texas that revealed the problem in his right ulnar collateral ligament.

“There’s more questions out there right now than answers. We’ll take it one step at a time,” manager Mike Scioscia said. “There’s a lot of consulting that Shohei will do with doctors and just see

what the best course of action is, and we’ll see where we are.”

The 24-year-old rookie was the Angels’ designated hitter for their series finale against the Rangers, and walked his first time up. Asked whether Ohtani would stay in the lineup as a DH after this game, Scioscia said: “We’ll see. That’s going to be determined from our medical department.”

Angels general manager Billy Eppler said Ohtani hasn’t formally decided to have Tommy John surgery. Eppler and Ohtani plan to have an indepth conversation about his future Monday after the Angels

return from their road trip.

“We committed to each other in this process, and we will get through it together as a team,” Eppler said. “But I do feel disappointment for the people in that clubhouse, and primarily Shohei.”

The latest development has been dreaded by the Angels and Ohtani’s millions of fans since he was diagnosed with a sprained UCL following a start June 6.

After receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection and an injection of stem cells, he was hitting again in early July, and he returned to the mound with his start Sunday at Houston.

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Ezekiel Elliott won’t be running off to federal court the week of the season opener the way he did last year, when the star running back of the Dallas Cowboys was fighting the NFL’s sixgame suspension over domestic violence allegations.

While the 2016 NFL rushing leader knew he would suit up for the first game last year as the case played out in court, he had no idea beyond that.

This time, there’s no question about Elliott’s availability after Sunday’s trip to Carolina.

“I would never say last year I wasn’t engaged with the

game,” he said Wednesday.

“It is a lot more stress free, though. I would say that.”

Elliott triggered a handful of questions about his motivation after offering the “chip on my shoulder” cliche.

One question boiled down to this: Was he trying to prove he’s the best back in the NFL? “That’s exactly it,” said Elliott, who led the league in yards rushing per game last season while finally serving the suspension starting at the halfway point. “I want to prove I’m the best back in the game. That’s what my focus this offseason was.”

Elliott didn’t play a snap

in the preseason for the first time in his three years as a pro. He says he’s ready anyway. Right guard Zack Martin says all anyone needed to do was watch Elliott in training camp in California.

“Something just feels different,” Martin said. “I think he’s ready for a big year.”

The Cowboys are counting on it. Quarterback Dak Prescott, Elliott’s fellow rookie standout two years ago, has a revamped group of receivers after the departures of 15-year tight end Jason Witten and franchise touchdown receptions leader Dez Bryant.
