Students use Tinder to make connections App increases problems with sex partners

I

n the almost three years since Tinder launched, college student users have slowly become one of the largest age blocks of users of the app.

According to Tinder, the second largest age block for Tinder users are those 16 to 24 years old — making up 38 percent of all Tinder users.

The largest age block, 25 to 34-year-olds, account for 45 percent of users.

This application is used widely at Texas Tech, and according to Tinder, Tech ranks No. 22 for campuses with the most swiped right females.

The ranking is based on the “ratio of right swipes received by students attending each university, ages 18-23 in the spring of 2015.”

Sara Preece, a sophomore human development and family studies major from Hatch, New Mexico, said she first downloaded Tinder while hanging out with a friend because she just wanted to figure out what the app was.

“I like it and I don’t like it,” she said. “I do it a lot when I’m

bored just to see who is around and who is on campus. I like it because I can meet people, and I don’t like it because half the guys are weird.”

The best thing about using Tinder, she said, is it helps her to meet people on a new campus. These are often people she would not have an opportunity to meet in real life, so being able to get out and meet all different types of people is exciting.

While it helps to meet people, she said in her opinion, it would not be the place to find a real relationship, she said.

“Not to say you can’t find people to be with, but there are very few,” she said. “I’m just not very social. I sit down at the bus stop and I don’t talk to anyone because I think that’s awkward. So, it’s easier to just meet people and go out and do stuff.”

What happens after the initial match is up to both parties, Jonathan Black, a junior political science major from Dallas, said.

There are not any stakes yet, so matching with some-

one, messaging and eventually getting their number is a process that allows either person to get out at any point, he said.

“Who hasn’t unmatched someone?” he said. “It’s not a rude thing, but if I don’t see something going somewhere I will go ahead and do that.

That way the girl isn’t still messaging me when I don’t want to talk anymore.”

One of the biggest issues with using Tinder as a traditional dating site, Preece said, is the fact that people are swiping simply because they think someone is attractive and the preconceived notions associated with matching with someone.

“A lot of them (people on Tinder) just assume you’re going to have sex, even if it’s not explicitly said,” she said.

“I can’t tell if that’s how it should be but if a girl doesn’t say they’re going to have sex then you shouldn’t assume and some of them don’t even listen when you say no.”

T

he social application Tinder has found growing popularity in those aged 18 and older as a result of the fast-paced society many Americans live in today.

This jumping from activity to activity can make it harder to meet new people and cultivate relationships, Sylvia Niehuis, associate professor of human development and family studies at Texas Tech, said. Through an app like Tinder that can be experienced on the user’s own time, users are able to continue to meet new people quickly, she said.

While Tinder can be used for relationships, and, according to Tinder, some relationships — even marriages — have resulted from Tinder matches, it can and is also used to form casual, sexual relationships between users.

As a result, Tinder may not be the only factor that can be blamed for sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy concerns, Niehuis said, but Tinder may be exacerbat-

the matching process, she said the issues of the responsibility and challenges of possible pregnancy still ultimately fall on the woman, especially in casual sexual encounters as opposed to monogamous relationships.

According to the Texas Department of State Health Services annual sexually transmitted disease report, instances of syphilis, gonorrhea and HIV have all increased in the past five years.

While cases are increasing, there are many explanations, including better testing and high-risk behaviors.

These behaviors can include having sex without a condom, having multiple sexual partners and having sex under the influence of drugs or alcohol, all in addition to using social media and applications like Tinder to arrange casual and sometimes anonymous sexual encounters, according to the Rhode Island Department of Health’s STD study.

Players thankful for NCAA Class of 2019 attends new student convocation cost of attendance checks

BY JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

While the Texas Tech football team may look different on the field this season, the players have also noticed a change off the field — the amount of money in their pockets.

Players began receiving their cost of attendance checks in August, according to the Tech Athletics website.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said receiving the checks is exciting for the players and it has helped some of them financially.

“They’re happy, I know that. I think different guys spend it on different things,” he said. “There may be one day that we can appropriate the funds where we’d like them to go, but I think they’re not wanting for anything currently, put it that way.”

So far I only know about five people that have the new Madden (video game), so we haven’t been spending that money too crazy.”

BRANDEN JACKSON DEFENSIVE LINEMAN The players receive two checks a month, according to Tech Athletics. Student ath-

letes receive between $2,000 and $4,000 annually, according to the NCAA website.

Kingsbury said the staff has been trying to teach financial responsibility to the players by offering seminars.

Senior center Jared Kaster said he and his teammates are thankful to the NCAA for allowing them to get cost of attendance checks.

“Kirby (Hocutt) has done a phenomenal job with that.

We really appreciate what he’s done for all of us. It really helps us guys that aren’t as lucky to have the money that they do,” Kaster said. “Thank you to the NCAA for really helping us out and put it toward good stuff.”

Senior defensive lineman Branden Jackson agreed with Kaster and said Tech players receiving the maximum amount allowed on the checks has made a noticeable difference.

“That means the world to me and my teammates,” he said. “We just want to thank the NCAA and thank Kirby Hocutt, our AD, for doing what he did to make sure he could get us the maximum amount.”

While Kingsbury said he did not know if the financial instructions were effective for the team or not, Jackson said most players have listened and followed what they learned in class.

Texas Tech President M. Duane Nellis speaks at the New Student Convocation inside the United Supermarkets Arena on Tuesday.

BY RYAN ORTEGON Staff Writer

Freshmen from all corners of Texas Tech gathered at the United Supermarkets Arena on Tuesday to participate in the Class of 2019 New Student Convocation.

The New Student Convocation was a chance for students new to Tech to come out and socialize with their fellow freshmen, hear advice from speakers and be a part of the Class of 2019 picture.

The three speakers who shared their wisdom with students were Tech President M. Duane Nellis, Student Government Association President Holton Westbrook and former Harlem

Globetrotter Melvin Adams.

Using his childhood examples of going through hard times, Adams said the students should always have a vision, and no matter what the odds work toward that vision with all their efforts.

Adams also allowed some students to go down on the court to practice some basketball tricks he had learned over the years.

Lauren Pearson, a freshman retail management major, said she is glad to be a member of the Tech Class of 2019.

“It’s pretty cool because both of my parents went to Tech, and so I’m kind of like carrying on the tradition,”

she said.

Along with being excited to be at Tech, Pearson said one of her main goals this year is to finish off with good grades.

Many freshmen come to college not knowing what to expect, she said.

They come to a new environment and can be completely overwhelmed by this new experience.

Samantha Herrera, a freshman advertising major, said the transition from high school to college required some work.

“So far so good, it’s a little harder, more reading, more responsibility,” she said.

“You have to be on top of yourself to get things done.”

The students got advice from the Tech president and also shared some laughs during Melvin Adams’ presentation.

Students also received a free Class of 2019 T-shirt and gathered in a Double T formation outside of the United Supermarkets Arena for a picture.

These freshmen have another four years to find their career paths and make Tech proud of all their accomplishments.

“I see myself doing an internship here in Lubbock,” Herrera said, “and hopefully transferring out to New York or Orlando in the future.” @DailyToreador

The Kinetic Accelerator program was started by Texas Tech in 2014 to train individuals about launching startup companies and discovering licensing opportunities. Applications are now open for the 2016 Kinetic Accelerator team.

Lisa McDonald, director of Kinetic Accelerator, said selection for the four-month program is competitive. The program runs from January to May. Participants learn about technology commercialization, which refers to moving innovative ideas to market, McDonald said. During the four-month period, they attend classes, learn and practice de-risking of intellectual property, train with their mentors and identify potential market applications for the technology.

“We don’t call them student teams. They’re venture teams because this is potentially a real venture,” she said. “These teams are doing real, relevant work.”

After the application process, the selected participants are grouped into teams of two to 10 members. Each team is

The program not only serves to train individuals in technology commercialization, McDonald said, but it also assists the university in de-risking and moving intellectual property to market.

“So when you’re looking at commercializing technology, it’s not just about fantastic research,” she said. “Fantastic research happens all the time.

It’s about the application of the research and the market for which it will serve.”

Weston Waldo, a Tech alumnus from Houston, was a participant in the Spring 2015 Kinetic Accelerator team, through which he launched CryptCrate, a cybersecurity startup company dealing with data protection on the cloud.

Waldo said he received help every step of the way, from market research to presentation preparations, which is what he liked most about the program.

The program also proves useful when it comes to networking and forming connections with investors, he said.

“What I really liked about

the program specifically was probably Demo Day,” he said.

“I think that was just a really unique opportunity that’s really hard to come by.”

Demo Day marks the culmination of the Kinetic Accelerator program, according to its website. On Demo Day, teams are given an opportunity to pitch to an audience of angel investors, venture capitalists and business leaders in hopes of a startup or licensing opportunity.

While there is a chance for startups or licensing opportunities, McDonald said it is important to realize they are not guaranteed.

“Worst case scenario, you’ve learned a skill set that you will take with you for the rest of your career,” she said. “You will have learned a new skill set that translates all industries. You will have learned a methodology that allows you to investigate intellectual property, technology services and products prior to a large capital infusion.”

Moreover, the program is not restricted to a specific group of applicants, McDonald said. They only look for members who aim to launch a high-tech startup or to simply learn the fundamentals

“I think it is changing the double standard that says it’s OK for guys to have sex with anyone but when it’s a girl, oh no, that’s not allowed,” she said. “It’s OK for you to find someone random that you find attractive and can talk to and if you want you can have sex.”

used pictures displaying heavy makeup.”

According to Tinder, however, by only displaying the base facts about people — name, age and appearance — they are taking the complications out of online dating and assuring people are getting only the information they need to begin a friendship or a relationship.

“For example, whether I like bowling or not is not going to be predictive of whether a relationship takes off or not,” Weiser said. “Apps like Tinder cut through a lot of that information so you can make an easier decision if you are at least potentially interested or not, and then as I said, you will have to meet in person and interact to see if you are indeed really interested.”

In the long run, Preece said, it is a fun application to participate in and students should not be embarrassed that they are spending time swiping. “ Yo u ’ r e g o i n g t o s e e your matches on campus,” she said. “I mean it’s not going to be a secret. I’m very open with it and I don’t think it should be hidden. We’re in college.

Not everyone is judging anymore.”

16-24 years old is the second largest age block on the app.

Despite looking at these people on the Internet, Preece said she still adheres to her own standards she would use when meeting people in real life.

Applications like Tinder, while making changes in women’s sexuality, are continuing to reinforce typical standards for male and female attractiveness, Dana Weiser, assistant professor of human development and family studies at Tech, said.

“I have seen a few articles on the Internet where women have played with the amount of makeup they wear and how it impacted their Tinder experiences,” she said. “One woman found that she got more questions about her likes and interests when she was wearing minimal makeup and fairly aggressive ‘come-ons’ when she Martin Monto, study coauthor and sociology professor at the University of Portland, said, according to the study. “This means the idea of waiting until marriage to begin sexual behavior is a less tenable narrative. Courtship and relationship practices are changing and the implications of these changes present a new unique set of challenges.”

Drilling boom means more harmful waste spills CROSSROADS, N.M. (AP) — Carl Johnson and son Justin, who have complained for years about spills of oilfield wastewater where they raise cattle in the high plains of New Mexico, stroll across a 1 1/2-acre patch of sandy soil — lifeless, save for a scattering of stunted weeds.

Five years ago, a broken pipe soaked the land with as much as 420,000 gallons of wastewater, a salty drilling byproduct that killed the shrubs and grass. It was among dozens of spills that have damaged the Johnsons’ grazing lands and made them worry about their groundwater.

“If we lose our water,” Justin Johnson said, “that ruins our ranch.”

Their plight illustrates a side effect of oil and gas production that has worsened with the past decade’s drilling boom: spills of wastewater that foul the land, kill wildlife and

threaten freshwater supplies.

An Associated Press analysis of data from leading oil- and gas-producing states found more than 175 million gallons of wastewater spilled from 2009 to 2014 in incidents involving ruptured pipes, overflowing storage tanks and even deliberate dumping. There were some 21,651 individual spills. The numbers are incomplete because many releases go unreported.

Though oil spills get more attention, wastewater spills can be more damaging. Microbes in soil eventually degrade spilled oil. Not so with wastewater, also known as brine, produced water or saltwater. Unless thoroughly cleansed, salt-saturated land dries up. Trees die. Crops cannot take root.

“Oil spills may look bad, but we know how to clean them up,” said Kerry Sublette, a University of Tulsa environmental

engineer. “Brine spills are much more difficult.”

In addition to extreme salinity, the fluids often contain heavy metals such as arsenic and mercury. Some ranchers said they have lost cattle that lapped up the liquids or ate tainted grass.

“They get real thin. It messes them up,” said Melvin Reed of Shidler, Oklahoma.

“Sometimes you just have to shoot them.”

The AP obtained data from Texas, North Dakota, California, Alaska, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Kansas, Utah and Montana — states that account for more than 90 percent of U.S. onshore oil production. In 2009, there were 2,470 reported spills in the 11 states; by 2014, the total was 4,643. The amount spilled doubled from 21.1 million gallons in 2009 to 43 million in 2013.

Event welcomes veterans back to campus

BY MALLORY BARNETT Staff Writer

Veterans seeking support, assistance and compassion found their refuge at the Veterans’ Welcome event on Tuesday in the Student Union Building Ballroom.

A selection of organizations whose main purpose is to give veterans what they need to live happy and healthy lives set up booths in the ballroom to raise public awareness.

Patti Mandrell, director of therapy services at Refuge Services, represented an organization that uses horses as its main source of therapy.

“We offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, therapeutic riding or therapeutic riding while working on goals,” Mandrell said, “as well as equine assistance psychotherapy, which is counseling using horses.”

Mandrell said Refuge offers these services for veterans who are wishing to work on rehabilitation related issues.

“Those issues may be physical, emotional, psychological — any realm — and they can access services through our program at no cost.”

Refuge’s goal, Mandrell said, is to help veterans in return for the service they have done for the U.S. “We want to give back to the community and our veterans for all that they have done for us,” she said. “I myself am a Tech alumni, and I am very eager to promote and give back to Tech as well.”

Vet Center, a second organization attending the event, gave its mission statement, which aims at helping to ease the transition for veterans.

“The Vet Center was created by Vietnam veterans to help combat veterans get reintegrated back into civilian life,” Margaret Lair, team leader of the organization, said.

“Part of our mission is that we work with combat veterans and their families to direct them to services. We provide

counseling with licensed counselors, and we provide them guidance and direction in working with other community organizations.”

Lair also explained some of the other services the Vet Center provides.

“We also work with victims of military sexual trauma and we work with families that have suffered bereavement,” she said.

“We are also working with veterans to get compensation for service connected disabilities or other benefits that they might be eligible for.”

Va l e r i e R o g e r s , a member of the Veterans Resource Coordination Group, said the organization is a one-stop-shop of resources offered or referred to veterans.

“We offer four different grants,” she said. “One of them is housing for Texas heroes, so we can assist with home modifications and repairs for disabled veterans. It also targets low-income families by helping to build ramps, do roof repairs and repair A/C units.”

ZETH ABNEY/The Daily Toreador

The Texas Tech Active Military and Veterans Program hosted its annual event to welcome all incoming and current veterans and active duty students Tuesday in the Student Union Building Ballroom. The event had booths for the various organizations as well as live music and free food for all the attendees.

One of the grants Rogers helps with is the supportive services for veteran families. She said it has been fun providing the necessary services to veterans to get them back on their feet.

“The Veterans Resource Coordination Group works on a judicial level, assisting incarcerated veterans with issues such as PTSD, and we provide them counseling for whatever else they may be going through,”

Rogers said. “We try to help the veterans with any situation so they can get up and get back out there.

It is just so awesome to do something to make a difference in their lives.” @DailyToreador

Film Studies screens movies at Alamo Drafthouse

BY DAVID GAY Staff Writer

Alamo Drafthouse and the Film and Media Studies program have come together to screen films Texas Tech students need for their classes. This film series invites students and members of the community to attend these screenings.

The relationship between Alamo and the Film Studies program started in April 2014, when they had a few screenings for the International Film Series, assistant professor of Film and Media Studies Wyatt Phillips said. However, the program wanted the relationship to expand.

“I used to work for the Alamo when they were a single screen theater in Austin,” Phillips said. “I emailed the owner and asked if we could do some programming at the Alamo in Lubbock. He put me into contact with the person who does the coordinating for

Lubbock, Robert Saucedo.”

Saucedo worked with the Film Studies program to

screen some of the films the students are required to view, Phillips said. They pick mov-

ies related to what is taught in Tech classes and what is important to be seen by the rest of the community.

“I help guide them to let them know what films are available and what films we cannot show for whatever reason,” Robert Saucedo, programming director at Alamo Drafthouse, said. “We have to pick four or five films per semester that can fit in our calendar.”

The films they picked for this semester are designed to be seen on the big screen by a community of viewers, Phillips said.

The audience is one of the most important parts of watching a movie, Allison Whitney, director of the Film and Media Studies Minor Program, said.

“If it is a horror movie, it’s much more of an experience if everyone is screaming,” Whitney said. “We also want everyone to be laughing during a comedy.”

There are other benefits to

watching these films screened at the Alamo Drafthouse, Whitney said. The image and sound quality are much better, and there are no distractions like someone would have in a living room.

Viewers can also notice different details about the film if they see it in a theater, Whitney said.

“There is a level of detail that you can get in the theater that you can’t get anywhere else,” she said.

The other special aspect about these screenings is that someone introduces the film before it is shown, Phillips said. It is to make the audience aware that they are all here for the same reason: to appreciate and experience the film.

Some of the films in the series are similar to what Alamo usually shows, but some are not, Saucedo said.

It gives Alamo the opportunity to show smaller, artsier films and films that are

more challenging.

The agenda for Alamo is similar to the agenda of the Film Studies program, Phillips said.

“We are both interested in developing a culture of cinephilia,” Phillips said. “We want to develop an appreciation of cinema. The only way to develop that culture is to show the films in a space where students and interested people in the community can come together.”

The long-term goal for the relationship between Alamo and the Film Studies program is to bring a culture of film appreciation to Lubbock, Phillips said.

“The fact that we have an audience for these kinds of films is exciting,” Saucedo said. “Hopefully, we will get more professors wanting to screen films here. We are going to have to keep an eye on our calendar to make sure that we can fit everyone in.” @DavidGayDT

Erin Brockovich accuses feds of lying about mine waste spill SHIPROCK, N.M. (AP) — Environmental activist Erin Brockovich, made famous from the Oscar-winning movie bearing her name, on Tuesday accused the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of lying about how much toxic wastewater spilled from a Colorado mine and fouled rivers in three Western states.

Her allegation came during a visit to the nation’s largest American Indian reservation, where she saw the damage and met with Navajo Nation leaders and farmers affected by last month’s spill, which was triggered by an EPA crew during excavation work.

Brockovich said she was shocked by the agency’s actions leading up to the release of waste tainted with heavy metals and its response afterward.

“They did not tell the truth about the amount.

There were millions and millions of gallons,” she said while speaking to a crowd of high school students in Shiprock, New Mexico.

The EPA did not immediately respond to email and telephone requests for comment Tuesday. The agency initially pegged the spill at 1 million gallons but later said it was likely three times that

amount given the readings of stream gauges that recorded a spike in river flows.

The revision only added to the suspicion of local officials that were criticizing the agency for failing to notify them sooner that the

contaminated plume was headed downstream.

Uncertainty lingers over the long-term dangers to public health and the environment from the spill, which contaminated rivers in Colorado, New Mexico and

Utah. EPA says the threat has eased, allowing treatment plants to start drawing water from the rivers again and ending warnings against recreational activities. But Navajo leadership is skeptical.

by Robert Mackey discussing the pictures and subsequent responses was published on September 2. Some responses called for respecting the dead, while others claimed the pictures needed to be seen to bring awareness to the refugee crisis. While the pictures definitely evoked a response, were they necessary to get the truth of the story out? Or, conversely, could they be relegated to an attempt to boost ratings off of a tragedy?

Many people forget this is not the first time a situation such as this has occurred.

During the Vietnam War, another iconic picture was published by news outlets around the world of Phan Thi Kim Phuc, a little girl at the time, running in horror from an airstrike that mistakenly targeted her village.

The image showed the little girl, who was suffering from burns, completely naked.

The image went on to win a Pulitzer Prize.

The picture of Phan Thi Kim Phuc served as an icon that people rallied around to bring awareness to the horrors of war. Already some, such as Rob Virtue of the Sunday Express, are drawing comparisons between her pic-

ture and that of the drowned refugee child, Aylan Kurdi.

Both pictures in their respective time frames have served to shock audiences with their raw depiction of the results of conflict. Phan Thi Kim Phuc’s photo was used often by various groups to push an agenda, and I feel that Aylan’s will as well.

Aylan’s picture was that of a fully clothed child that no viewer would have known was dead without being explicitly told so. No one expects to see a dead child in the news, though dead children are commonly mentioned in print.

Of course, questions exist regarding the motivations behind posting the images, and I believe this is where the real issue lies. Should the images be seen? I believe so. Many people could not comprehend the evils of The Holocaust until they saw the images of the concentration camps and their survivors. Human beings by and large are a visual group, and while it can be easy to rationalize away the concepts put forward in printed or displayed text, it is much harder to rationalize the images of horrors inflicted by other humans.

In viewing these images, the motivation of the media must be discussed. It is important to remember that in America the media is a group of privately owned

online is all that is needed to find the appalling videos and photos. At least with online videos the audience has to search for the appalling spectacle themselves, and not have it automatically broadcasted to them without notice. This is one of the many reasons why violent and distasteful images should not be aired on live television.

News outlets should not have the right to broadcast the images and videos for multiple reasons. The first and most obvious reason is the possible presence of children. Most news outlets give a warning in advance, but most of the time the child might be alone or with an occupied parent. There is no need for a child to be exposed to violent videos and pictures.

The second reason why the videos/images shouldn’t be shown is for the respect of the afflicted families. For example, the video of the Virginia shooting might be disrespectful to the parents and loved ones of the victims, as they have a right to mourn in silence. Since these videos were released, the family members would be reminded of the horrid event every time they turned on a TV, booted up the Internet or power on their smartphone. These

families have a right to mourn in peace and remember their loved ones, but wherever they look they are bombarded with these photos and videos, reminding them of the last seconds of the victim’s life.

Although the reactions of parents and children to the media are an enormous issue, one of the underlying issues of why these pictures and videos should not be broadcasted live is the degradation of moral and ethical principles.

While news is fresh, the world can be informed of what happened without showing graphic media.

For instance, when the recent Virginia shooting was aired, the video of the incident was frequently shown up to the point of the shooting, often with commentary on what happened by the newscasters. Although this should be the method all news companies use, there will always be some organizations that show the video in full effect, much to the dismay of the audience.

In conclusion, the various types of media containing graphic content should not be broadcasted at all, as anybody can be watching the broadcast at any certain time. These people can range from children who were left unsupervised to family and loved ones of the victims. Although the various news organizations can give a warning to the audience, the safest precaution these corporations can take is to not show the images whatsoever. bdefilippis@dailytoreador.com

Clear mind, few options ideal for decision making

T

his summer, I offhandedly picked up a book, “Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much” by Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir, from the business section of the library, thinking it would be another subpar perspective about how economics and physiology blend to make up personal transaction decisions. However, the description inside the front cover caught my attention, as it explained that there were several questions that would be answered, including, “why do successful people get things done at the last minute, why does poverty persist and why do organizations get stuck firefighting?”

The interesting explanation to all of these issues is boiled down to a simple lack of mental bandwidth the

Kendra Kimberlin is a senior business management major from College Station.

authors explain thoroughly with relevant research.

Bandwidth is described

by Mullainathan and Shafir as the mind’s capability to make sense of differing options. For example, the lack of options for the poor, dieters and busy people, cause their attention to remain on the things circumstance has placed them in. For the poor, it is the lack of money that never leaves their mind. For the dieter, it is the lack of a certain type of food and for the busy person, it is time taking up the most of their mental bandwidth.

Adding “tunneling” into the mix can make things even more hectic. According to Mullainathan and Shafir, tunneling is the mistake of solely focusing on one thing in order to finish it while everything else gets neglected. This becomes a cycle, as other things begin to require more attention, like a child or overdue bills.

As Mullainathan and Shafir continue their research with various people from Indian sugar cane farmers and random people in a New Jersey Mall, Mullainathan and Shafir ask people to make decisions based on a few limited variables. For example, one study done in a mall studied how people reacted with the problem of costly car repairs. Mullainathan and Shafir found that among the test results there arose widely different

tendencies between the two economic classes.

Mullainathan and Shafir write, ”Although rich people’s test scores showed no significant difference, the poor people’s scores dropped the equivalent of about 14 IQ points: the difference between the categories of ‘superior’ and ‘average’ intelligence — or more pointedly, from ‘average’ to ‘borderline deficient’.”

According to a Harvard Magazine article by Cara Feinberg, that is a greater deficit than subjects in sleep studies typically show after staying awake for 24 hours, Mullainathan and Shafir highlight. “Simply raising monetary concerns for the poor,” they explain, “erodes cognitive performance even more than being seriously sleep deprived.”

Most of the distinctions

between the classes of people come from how money is spent on a day-to-day and month-to-month manner.

Mullainathan and Shafir’s works show that people in lower economic classes are more prone to make poorer spending decisions. Marketing and advertising trades have perfected the art form of exploiting this tendency, worsening the impulsive tendencies in shoppers.

In a New York Times column titled “Escaping the Cycle of Scarcity,” columnist Tina Rosenberg writes, “This is proven.

The controversy is as to why it is the case. For conservatives, roughly speaking, these behaviors cause poverty. For liberals, also roughly speaking, poverty in many ways causes these behaviors. It is easy to see how the stresses of poverty

weigh in. With eating habits, for example: fruit and vegetables cost more than many unhealthier foods, and might not be available in a poor neighborhood.”

Henry David Thoreau once wrote in Walden, “A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.” If that is true, then things like automatic bill pay and savings systems are a few options that can create a way to free up one’s mental bandwidth and live life for the more important things. Many methods of implementation from Mullainathan a n d S h a f i r ’s r e s e a r c h should be developed and implemented to alleviate the worry and allow for a more efficient life. kkimberlin@dailytoreador.com

Iran divestiture measures pushed in battleground states

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A group led by past and current Republican officeholders has launched an effort in some presidential battleground states to place measures on the 2016 ballot that seek to prohibit public investments in certain companies doing business in Iran.

The Defund Iran initiative announced Tuesday is initially targeting Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Missouri and Ohio, but organizers say

they hope to pursue similar measures in as many as half the states.

The initiative comes as the Republican-led Congress appears increasingly unlikely to be able to rally enough Democrats to block the Iran deal backed by President Barack Obama’s administration. It would ease sanctions on the country in exchange for dismantling much of its nuclear weapons program for the next decade.

About 30 states already have Iran-divestiture laws or policies. Some of those have gradually loosened since being adopted about decade ago.

The proposed initiatives would fortify those through constitutional amendments or, in some states, through laws that would enhance policies previously adopted by public pension boards.

Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel said the effort would help ensure “that the radi-

Keenan fortifies middle court

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

Since her sophomore year of high school, Texas Tech volleyball freshman middle blocker Katy Keenan has been waiting to defend the Red Raider frontcourt.

Keenan verbally committed to play for the Red Raiders early in her sophomore year at Argyle High School, but she did not arrive at her decision without careful thought.

Before committing to play for Tech volleyball or collecting her first high school report card, Keenan had already received letters of recruitment from NCAA Division-I schools.

Keenan said her early offers overwhelmed her since they came so early in her high school career.

“I was a 16-year-old trying to decide where I was going to go to college,” Keenan said. “I had to think what I want now and try to imagine myself in four or five years and what I’m going to want then.”

Southern Methodist, Alabama, Ole Miss and Tech made up Keenan’s finalists for the school at which she planned to spend her fouryear collegiate career.

As Keenan considered her options, Tech red shirt junior Lauren Douglass transferred out of Ole Miss to play for Tech during the summer of 2013.

Douglass’ transfer to Tech, Keenan said, convinced her to choose to play for the

Red Raiders.

“I got an offer from Tech pretty early on, and I kind of pushed it to the side,” Keenan said. “Lauren Douglass was at Ole Miss at the time and transferred to Tech, and it kind of just opened my eyes to see Tech is blossoming.”

Some more convincing from her brother Trey Keenan, a former offensive lineman for Tech football, an instant mesh of personalities with players on the Red Raider squad and a brand new state of the art locker-room confirmed her decision to join the Red Raiders, she said.

Keenan made her debut with Tech in the second game of the season versus Louisiana Lafayette. Keenan considered her debut as a special moment, but a reunion with the parents of her high school teammate and mentor added to the moment’s significance.

When she began playing at Argyle, Keenan bonded with the team’s senior captain, Sawyer Camillo, she said.

Keenan and Camillo formed a sisterhood, with Camillo taking the role of Keenan’s big sister and mentor.

Camillo went on to play for the Lafayette volleyball team after graduating from Argyle.

At the end of Camillo’s freshman year, Keenan said, Camillo died of a blood clot after back surgery.

“Keeping her memory alive has been such a big deal for me,” Keenan said.

“We would have gotten to play

each other in college.”

Years after Camillo’s death, Keenan continues to see Camillo as a role model.

“She just really showed me what it was like to be a leader and how you should treat your teammates and treat coaches,” Keenan said.

When she saw Camillo’s parents in the stands to watch her debut, Keenan said she felt Camillo’s continued presence in her life.

“After the game I just ran and hugged her dad and we just started bawling,” Keenan said.

Seven games into the 2015 season, Keenan tallies 27 kills in 13 sets played in her young collegiate career.

Although Keenan made regular appearances throughout Tech’s first two tournaments, she said the transition from high school to collegiate volleyball challenged her in the beginning, but leadership from returning players like Douglass has eased her into collegiate play.

“Coming here it was a different system, I was used to very different things than what Tech does,” Keenan said. “They’ll help me with the little things and keep reminding me of stuff I need to do.”

Since Keenan arrived at Tech, Coach Don Flora said he sees a fortified middle court with the addition of Keenan to the roster.

“Katy Keenan is just really growing and developing,”

K-State will pay fine after band performance (AP) — Kansas State will pay a $5,000 fine and its marching band will perform without its director later this season as part of self-imposed sanctions following a routine that turned into a widespread social-media meme over the weekend.

The school also said Tuesday it would require approval of all future halftime shows after the Big 12 warned of potential sportsmanship and ethical conduct violations.

The controversy erupted after Saturday’s spacethemed halftime show during the team’s home opener

against South Dakota. One formation featured the Kansas State band forming the University of Kansas mascot and a phallic-looking Starship Enterprise crashing into it.

Kansas State president Kirk Schulz quickly tweeted an apology for the performance, and band director Frank Tracz issued a statement Sunday in which he said “there was absolutely no intent to display anything other than the Enterprise and the Jayhawk in battle.”

“Our response has nothing to do with any perverted social media,” Kansas State

athletic director John Currie said Tuesday. “Our response is solely the fact we portrayed the disintegration of the Jayhawks by the Starship Enterprise.”

Currie said that was deemed by the Big 12 office to be an unsportsmanlike act.

Kansas State came under scrutiny last season when fans rushed the court after a victory over the Jayhawks in men’s basketball, with some physically jostling players. The school responded this fall by asking students picking up football tickets to sign a sportsmanship code of conduct.

DERRICK SPENCER/The Daily Toreador

Katy Keenan, a freshman middle blocker from Argyle, joins the Texas Tech volleyball team this season in hopes of contributing her defensive abilities to the team.

Flora said. “We’re really strong in the middle.”

As for her goals in her first season, Keenan said she wants to learn as much from Tech’s seniors and add depth to Tech’s roster.

“I want to contribute as much as I can on and off the court. If I need to be on the sidelines and cheering on my teammates if other middles are doing better, then that’s what I need to do,” Keenan said. “If I need to step in, then I hope I can step in those moments.”
