RAWLS COLLEGE OF BUSINESS

Public art for Rawls college unveiled

BACK IN BUSINESS

On Tuesday, a public art addition to the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration was revealed. This sculpture was given as a gift by Glenna Goodacre, coinciding with her retirement from sculpting, according to a Texas Tech news release. This is Goodacre’s sixth piece of artwork on Tech’s campus.

The sculpture, entitled “CEO,” is 6 feet 4 inches in height and is made of bronze. According to the release, the sculpture features a businesswoman on the move.

The sculpture is placed where natural light hits the courtyard, Michael Molina, vice chancellor for Facilities, Planning & Construction, said. Molina was at the ribbon cutting to speak on Goodacre’s behalf.

Goodacre’s daughter, Jill Connick, modeled for the sculpture in her Santa Fe studio in 1985, according to the release.

The sculpture was gifted out of respect for women business leaders, Goodacre’s manager Dan Anthony said in the release.

According to the release, Goodacre is destroying the molds of her existing sculptures and will not be selling or gifting pieces from her private collection.

uesday was an eventful day for the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration with the official opening ceremony to the west wing expansion. The College of Business welcomed new students, faculty and staff to the new facility.

The opening took place in the multipurpose space room of the new addition. Guests at the opening included Texas Tech President

@DailyToreador

Lawrence Schovanec, Interim Dean of the College of Business Paul Goebel, Vice Chancellor of Facilities, Planning & Construction Michael Molina and artist Koryn Rolstad.

The program began with a welcome address by Schovanec.

“This ribbon cutting represents not only the addition of the state of the art facilities, but it reflects on the growth and the quality of this university,” Schovanec said.

He went on to speak about the excellent education in the college and said he was thankful to the

alumni for their continuous support of the college. Schovanec also acknowledged former Dean of the College of Business Alan McGinnis. McGinnis was the first one to envision the wing for the building.

Schovanec said he appreciated Glenna Goodacre’s and Rolstad’s contributions for their public art pieces featured outside the college.

After the welcome, he introduced and thanked Goebel.

The Rawls College of Business is now ranked in the top 100 of U.S. News World Report’s Best Business

Programs, Goebel said.

“Anytime you have new construction, it’s always difficult because you add on and want the new to blend with the old. We had them come in and bust the concrete, so it matches the other side of the building, which was not easy,” Goebel said.

He also spoke about the new classrooms, the testing center, the behavioral lab and the think tank, and he then welcomed Molina.

Defense builds off Arizona State University, looks towards Louisiana Tech

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

RYAN ORTEGON / The Daily Toreador

The defensive line gathers on the 50 yard line before deciding their next play against Stephen F. Austin on Sept. 3.

The Texas Tech Red Raider defense had 79 total tackles overall against Arizona State in the Sun Devil’s 68-55 win over Tech on Saturday. This week, the Red Raiders will try to stop the run game after allowing 301 rushing yards to ASU. Freshman linebacker Jordyn Brooks put up the most tackles

in the game with 10 total. He also had two tackles for a loss.

With seven tackles each, senior linebacker Malik Jenkins, senior defensive back Thierry Nguema and senior linebacker Luke Stice tied for second in most tackles.

For the defense, they are looking past last Saturday and are focusing on Louisiana Tech.

“I think we responded pretty well (in practice after last game), coach (Kliff) Kingsbury has really

emphasized on putting the past behind us and focuses on this week, and that’s what we’ve been doing,” sophomore defensive back Kisean Allen said.

ASU running back Kalen Ballage had 137 yards and seven touchdowns.

Kingsbury said bad things will happen in football, but it is about keeping a level head.

MUSEUM

Afghanistan museum director to guest lecture at Jones Auditorium

By MICHAEL CANTU News Editor

In an effort to establish a more working relationship between the Museum of Texas Tech University and the National Museum of Afghanistan, Texas Tech will host Fahim Rahimi for a guest lecture at 6 p.m. today in the Helen DeVitt Jones Auditorium.

The lecture will be free and open to the public.

These days, people who work in and around museums have realized their works have become more global than it has local, Gary Morgan, executive director of the museum, said. Along with emphasizing the obligations to Lubbock and West Texas, the Tech museum has tried to expand into more of a global role.

“We recognize in the National Museum of Afghanistan a potential partner in an area of particular significance,” Morgan said. “And that particular significance is: The role that culture plays in the ethos and reestablishment of a really viable community, especially one that has been through a very difficult time of some extended conflict.”

There is a real opportunity in a partnership between the two museums, he said, that levers off of the collections in the National Museum of Afghanistan. Part of the purpose of Rahimi’s visit is to discuss preliminary goals for the partnership.

Additionally, there is a need for expanded hands on research and conservation on Tech’s part, Hyojun Cho, associate professor of heritage management, said.

This would mostly focus on the graduate program in the Tech museum.

“Not only are we educat-

ing our students, which the partnership will greatly benefit, so studying that cultural heritage like Afghanistan’s is just our study too (and) our research as well,” Cho said.

Excited on the invitation to speak at Tech, Rahimi, director for the National Museum of Afghanistan, will deliver the lecture, “Fighting for the Nation’s Cultural Heritage: Efforts and Challenges of the National Museum of Afghanistan.”

The lecture will focus on the importance of understanding cultural heritage, especially through museums, Rahimi said.

There is an important need for people to understand their heritage, he said, but there is even more of a need for people’s understanding to be focused on Afghanistan.

“I wanted to talk to the people and give them some information about the importance of cultural heritage here and what we are doing to preserve that,” Rahimi said.

Through his efforts Rahimi is trying to show other parts of the western world the positive aspects of Afghanistan because in many instances all that is portrayed is the negative, he said.

Museum activities have not historically been very outreaching, Rahimi said, and this especially took a hit during the time of the Afghanistan civil war in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

There has also been a struggle in cultural preservation during conflict time, Morgan said, which makes it difficult to prioritize museum artifacts over people’s safety.

Previous directors of the National Museum of Afghanistan have struggled to keep artifacts and other objects from being looted during conflict times, Ra-

The host director of the National Museum of Afghanistan, Fahim Rahimi, will be giving a speech through the Museum of Texas Tech University today at 6 p.m. about fighting for the nation’s cultural heritage. It is a free event open to the public and will be located at Helen DeVitt Jones Auditorium. himi said. Though the museum officials were able to preserve the most important parts of their cultural heritage, there is still a big portion that is missing, yet to be rediscovered.

People do not know about the importance of their cultural heritage.

They simply consider it as material. They Don’t know the value which is attached to that material culture.

FAHIM RAHIMI MUSEUM DIRECTOR “According to estimations, we had more than 100,000 inventory artifacts there, but about 70 percent of them were looted,” Rahimi said.

Before the civil war, museum administration decided to move the most

important artifacts to different areas of the country, so if one were looted, there would still be a small safety net, Rahimi said. One of the safest places for these artifacts was the president’s palace and a central bank vault in Afghanistan.

At this point in history, there is also a good benefit in cultural tourism, Morgan said. This lecture will address several misconceptions of an Afghanistan war zone that is too violent to visit.

“It’s hard to imagine that tourists would visit Afghanistan because of the way it’s presented in the media,” Morgan said. “But that’s only a matter of time before the current situation passes and that we have a really stable and perceived stable environment.”

Cultural tourism could stand as a primary rebuilding agent, he said.

There is great potential in Afghanistan, but because of misinformation by western

media many people only see the part of the country that is surrounded by violence, Rahimi said.

“But there is a lot of cultural and natural beauty there, but even now we have tourists — we do not think of that — but we have tourists,” Rahimi said.

Because of that the museum is hosting two international exhibitions: the Afghanistan Treasures Exhibition, which is traveling around the world, and one in the Czech Republic, he said.

The Czech Republic exhibition concluded recently.

Afghanistan does have problems, now and again, but there is still beauty in the country and culture, Rahimi said.

“People do not know about the importance of their cultural heritage. They simply consider it as material,” Rahimi said. “They don’t know the value which is attached to that material culture.”

and mentioned the new Chickfil-A that will be located on the southeast corner of the wing.

Molina also spoke on behalf of Goodacre for the dedication of her statue “CEO,” which was modeled after her daughter Jill Connick.

“CEO” is a bronze sculpture that is 6 feet 4 inches in height and features a young business woman on the move. The sculpture is Goodacre’s sixth piece to be featured on Tech campus and will also coincide with her retirement, Molina said.

Rolstad, the artist of “Illuminated Arboreal Data Codes”,

was at the ceremony to dedicate her piece to the college.

“Illuminated Arboreal Data Codes” resembles trees growing in an open area and features four educational quotes in braille, Morse, cuneiform and binary.

After Rolstad’s dedication, Schovanec closed the ceremony and proceeded to formal ribbon-cutting with all members involved in the making of the west wing addition.

“Texas Tech University in my world is like winning the academy award,” Rolstad said.

No drug retests needed for Texas executions HOUSTON (AP) — A federal court rejected a lawsuit by five Texas death row inmates who said the lethal drugs intended for their executions should be retested before their punishments are carried out to ensure they suffer no unusual pain.

Lawyers for the five prisoners argued to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that an agreement between the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and two other inmates to test the pentobarbital for their lethal injections should be extended to them.

Failure to do so would violate their constitutional right to equal protection under the law, they said.

The appeals court on Monday agreed with a Houston federal judge’s dismissal of the lawsuit filed a month ago, calling it a “novel and flawed invocation of equal protection doctrine.”

Correction In Monday’s issue of The Daily Toreador, the article “Carol of Lights committee meets for first time this semester to plan” should have read the annual event will take place Dec. 2. The DT regrets this error.

Tech Judo and Jiu Jitsu Club grows in size

By ARIANNA AVALLE Staff Writer

T h e Te c h J u d o a n d Jiu Jitsu Club recently started its practices at the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center.

New and old members are working hard to improve their styles and to participate in upcoming competitions.

Gary Curnutt, a graduate student in personal financial planning from Portales, New Mexico, said he likes Judo because it forces him to stay in shape. He has been a member of the club for two years.

“The hardest part is to have a good grip of the techniques required for the sport,” Curnutt said. “When your adversary is quite larger than you, you have to apply the techniques just right in order to take him down”.

The main reason Curnutt joined the club, he said, is to find people who share and support his passion to work out and be active.

Before joining the club last year, Curnutt knew nothing about the sport, he said. Now, Curnutt can relate Judo and Jiu Jitsu to his area of study.

“In personal financial planning, what we do is that when people are s t r u g g l i n g fi nanc i al l y, they like to have incentives to do what they should do anyways,” Curnutt said. “For me, (Judo and Jiu Jitsu) is an incentive to stay fit anyways.”

Trevar Little, a senior animal science major from Dallas, started practicing Jiu Jitsu his sophomore year and has been in the club ever since. The difficulty of this sport is staying committed and sticking with it even when things are not going the right way, Little said.

Little feels he is improving. This martial art is beneficial in creating social relationships and leading a healthy lifestyle, he said.

“It just helps me cope with a lot of stress,” Little said. “Learning the sport,

meeting new people and getting the exercise in have been my favorite parts about Jiu Jitsu.”

Sonya Booker, the Judo coach, said her discipline is more focused on takedowns, whereas Jiu Jitsu values submission. Although they are sister arts, each sport specializes on one part of fighting.

“We are growing as a team, and we are looking at more competitions,” Booker said. “Our club is actually really big this year, bigger than last year.”

The original club started eight years ago when a few students started training together to learn more about Judo and motivate each other, Booker said. From there, it kept growing and the original sport ended-up branching out and incorporating Jiu Jitsu. Now, Jiu Jitsu constitutes the bigger part of the club.

The club welcomes everyone who wants to join, Booker said.

“Girls and guys are welcome, especially girls

because we don’t have a lot of them” Booker said.

“We are just all coming together as one big family”.

Roger del Campo, the Jiu Jitsu coach, said the hardest part of his sport

is to be perseverant and to never give up. However, he enjoys the fact that a smaller person can beat a bigger one, which serves to prove that skill overcome strength.

“To practice this art, you don’t need any type of training or experience,” del Campo said. “It’s difficult, but anything that is difficult is worth achieving.” @DailyToreador

Congress eyes crackdown on ticket sellers WASHINGTON (AP) — Having a hard time getting tickets to the latest Bruce Springsteen concert or college football game? Congress is moving forward with legislation that could make it easier to score seats.

Ticket sellers and re-sellers — including the producer of the hit Broadway show "Hamilton" — testified at a Senate hearing Tuesday and endorsed congressional efforts to crack down on the use of computerized software by ticket brokers to snap up tickets. These so-called "bots" rapidly purchase as many desirable tickets as possible for resale at significant markups.

"Bots are computerized cheaters," said Jeffrey Seller, the "Hamilton" producer and four-time Tony Awardwinner. "The people who employ bots use sophisticated software that cuts the line, paralyzes the system, and holds and purchases every available seat before a human consumer has a chance."

The House on Monday overwhelmingly passed legislation to make the use of the software an "unfair and deceptive practice" under the Federal Trade Commission Act and allow the FTC to go after those who use it. Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran, the Republican chairman of the Senate Commerce subcommittee that held the hearing, said his panel will vote on similar legislation soon.

"The digital age has made acquiring tickets easier than ever," Moran said at the hearing. "But an age-old issue, ticket scalping, has been made even more prevalent by advances in technology."

The use of bots is one of the reasons why tickets to a Springsteen concert or Hamilton performance can sell out in just a few minutes. Seller said he has worked with Ticketmaster to try and cancel tickets of those they suspect are using bots. But he says the bots "invade" the Ticketmaster system the moment tickets go on sale and electronically purchase almost all the available inventory.

That's one of the reasons tickets to the award-winning musical about the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton have sold for $1,000 or more.

Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, the top Democrat on the Senate Commerce Committee, said he wanted to see Hamilton but decided not to because of the costly tickets.

"This is a rigged market benefiting some greedy speculators," Nelson said.

Gun rights activists sue Couric over documentary edits RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia gun rights activists have filed a $12 million defamation lawsuit against Katie Couric

and other makers of a documentary over an edit they say misrepresented the activists’ response to a question.

The segment in “Under the Gun” shows nearly 10 seconds of silence after Couric asks members of the Virginia

Citizens Defense League how felons or terrorists could be prevented from purchasing a gun without background checks.

Activists can be heard on audio of the exchange responding to Couric’s question almost immediately.

Students must boldly protect free speech Y

e s t e r d a y, M i l o Yiannopoulos w a s o n Te x a s Tech’s campus.

For those of you who don’t know, Yiannopoulos is a free-speech activist who visits universities across the country on what he has officially dubbed the “Dangerous Faggot Tour.” Incidentally, he is a homosexual.

Take a moment and imagine a world in which every person was guaranteed, by law, the right to not be offended.

Almost everywhere Yiannopoulos goes, he elicits highly emotional responses from people.

Usually these responses take the form of protests, the participants of which often turn to threats and violence to demonstrate their ex-

treme displeasure with the infamous Yiannopoulos.

I was not able to attend Yiannopoulos’ speech yesterday. However, a friend of mine was and reported there were no protestors. In fact, there was a generally good response to him.

This is encouraging to me. It means maybe the Social Justice Warriors and regressive leftists haven’t yet completely inundated our university with their political correctness nonsense.

It is still very concerning that, more often than not, Yiannopoulos is met with such strong resistance from liberals and progressives.

Think about that for a second. It will probably make you laugh.

SJWs and political correctness leftists are the

least self-aware people you will ever encounter and probably the most ridiculous, but that doesn’t mean they don’t pose a threat to free speech.

For some reason or another, a phenomenon is sweeping the country.

People on college campuses have begun to act as if they have a right to not be offended.

Ta k e a m o m e n t a n d imagine a world in which every person was guaranteed, by law, the right to not be offended. That society would be subjected to the worst kind of tyranny imaginable. It would be a tyranny of the masses.

DePaul University — the ultimate “safe space” — has resisted Milo with all of their might. They claimed that Milo hurts and kills people with his opinions.

They have also claimed that he “profits from oppression.”

These claims are beyond ridiculous; they are delusional. No doubt, words

are powerful, but the idea that they could actually harm someone or that controversial statements are tantamount to oppression is laughable.

However, in my years at Texas Tech, I have been surprised at the seemingly apolitical atmosphere.

These claims and the attempts to stifle controversial speech on college campuses signify an allout assault on the first amendment by the new Democratic party.

College campuses are known for being hotbeds of political activity. However, in my years at Texas Te c h , I h a v e b e e n s u rprised at the seemingly apolitical atmosphere.

So, I am asking Texas Tech students to evaluate

their own thoughts on this issue. I will then take things one step further.

I am asking students to act. As you go into your class discussions this semester, do not back down from controversial topics and do not be bullied by SJWs for not thinking like them.

Don’t worry about them calling you sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, racist, bigoted, etc.

These words are becoming meaningless because of their extreme over-use by liberals and progressives.

You should never be dissuaded from saying what you feel.

To the students sitting in diversity classes this semester, challenge everything you hear in that class.

Make the professors work for everything and don’t

let them get away with anything. Demonstrate, through your speech, that the only diversity that matters is intellectual and ideological diversity.

It is through these small, but meaningful, gestures that we can all contribute to a change in campus culture.

We should all take it upon ourselves to not be intimidated by the threat of being labeled a bigot, intolerant or the like. You should never be dissuaded from saying what you feel.

However, that is not to say that we should engage in bigotry or intolerance.

We have to engage the politically correct SJWs because free speech is currently losing in the war of ideas. We must protect free speech by engaging in controversial and provocative speech because it is controversial and provocative speech that needs to be protected. opinions@dailytoreador.com

2016 election exposes truth about sexism

T

Given that one of our two candidates is a woman — the first woman to ever be nominated by a major political party, at that — everyone jumped into this election cycle expecting gender to be an important topic.

H o w e v e r, a t the same time, she shouldn’t be excluded from normal criticisms just because she’s a woman.

criticized for not smiling.

The Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus tweeted about the forum, noting Clinton “was angry (and) defensive the entire time — no smile and uncomfortable.”

Twitter lost its mind.

People from all over were upset by Priebus’ “sexist comment.”

“RNC chairman tells female presidential nominee she’s not smiling enough,” Oliver Willis, a research fellow at Media Matters for America, tweeted. “cc every woman in America.”

Chris Hayes, host of MSNBC segment “All In with Chris Hayes,” took a shorter approach in calling attention to the tweet with

a simple, “Smile, darlin’.”

The thing is they’re not wrong.

Content of Lauer’s forum with Clinton aside, Clinton has been criticized on unrelated qualities throughout her campaign. Things like her clothing choices, her “emotionless” approach to things and now how often she smiles have all been criticized by viewers.

Whether you want to admit it or not, people judge Clinton on qualities a male candidate isn’t judged on.

So, while it’s important to recognize the irrelevance of the comments made against her, it’s equally important to recognize when those comments have a place in this conversation.

If a candidate looks uncomfortable answering a question, there’s a reason. If a candidate looks seriously displeased by something his opponent says, there’s a

Yiannopoulos visits Tech

M

onday evening, I had the distinct pleasure to hear a lecture by Milo Yiannopoulos or, as he describes himself, the Dangerous Faggot.

A packed room full of eager young political buffs was the venue for the night’s entertainment and — after waiting in line for just shy of an hour — I took a seat in the fourth row to hear what this controversial provocateur had to say.

Yiannopoulos is a journalist and a major voice for supporters of the growing “alt-right” movement, which is a sect of right-wing sympathizers who reject liberal dogma and politicalcorrectness obsessed Social Justice Warriors.

The flamboyantly gay conservative has made quite a name for himself on the college campus lecture circuit, with protestors coming out to voice their oppositions to his views on topics such as feminism and Black Lives Matter.

Yiannopoulos’ appeal, as well as the criticism he receives, could be attributed to his “no holds barred” speaking style and his controversial oratory.

All of this was in full gear

during last night’s event in Tech’s Matador Room.

After an entrance accompanied by thunderous applause, the bleach-blond and designer-shade donning Yiannopoulos began his long awaited spiel on the subject of lesbians.

Yes, this was no lecture describing the failed attempts of socialism or championing the merits of free-market capitalism.

The plight of fake hate crimes fabricated by various same-sex couples for varying reasons such as claiming insurance money or incriminating innocent bystanders were eloquently described in the signature English drawl.

The subjects of Yiannopoulos’ speech then morphed to the growing number of rape hoaxes which, Yiannopoulos said were ruining the lives of countless men.

In addition, he argued these hoaxes are hurting the victims of actual rape by discrediting the cases

Facial expressions and voice volumes or patterns have always been ways to interpret the meaning behind what someone is saying. There are specialists who study these things just for that reason.

It’s also important to note Clinton isn’t the only

I t j u s t d o e s n ’t w o r k that way.

So let’s just quit it, OK? Stop criticizing Clinton based on her lack of smiling in an interview. Stop giving her your votes just because she’s a woman. Stop saying you want Melania Trump in the White House because she’s pretty. Stop discrediting her because she used to be a model.

Make up your mind based on their policies and competence, or lack thereof. Educate yourself so you have a real reason why you do or do not support someone.

In case you missed it, gender no longer qualifies as a reason to dislike someone, and neither should it qualify as a reason to favor someone. hbritzky@dailytoreador.com

After a short, but emotional, rant on the tragedy of the Orlando nightclub shootings — at which the issue of radical Islam’s incompatibility with western values was illustrated — Yiannopoulos opened up the room for questions.

Tech looks to get back on track this weekend

By ARIANA HERNANDEZ Staff Writer

The Texas Tech Red Raiders go up against Louisiana Tech on Saturday and will look to get back on track.

After practice on Tuesday, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said the team is going back to the basics.

“I think focusing on us, looking at the little things that we have to get better at based upon the film from Saturday. So it’s been a lot of basic fundamental things, technique, footwork, things of that nature that we have to get better at,” Kingsbury said.

Senior defensive lineman Ondre Pipkins said during practice the players work on keeping their heads up when they make bad plays.

He said even though there may be pressure they have to stay calm and positive.

“When you have a bad play in practice, coach may jump on you, you got to stay level,” Pipkins said. “You can’t get down on yourself or even if you make a big play, you can’t get too hyped, because then the next play.

You got to stay consistent.”

Kingsbury said one thing that was good against Stephen F. Austin was blocking.

Kingsbury said he thinks

DEFENSE

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “They had some really big runs on eight plays, that we were just out of position or didn’t make the tackle,” Kingsbury said. “They do a good job schematically, some wheel routes, hit the trick play and to me the biggest thing was not handling that adversity. When we recovered that fumble and ran it back, it would’ve been 21-9, and we just never came back from that. We kind of let it get to us, and didn’t play very well the rest of the game.”

The offense scored 55 points, but it was not enough to win the game.

Senior defensive tackle Ondre Pipkins said the defense has to adjust and back up the offense.

“We were just a couple of plays away from winning the game,” Pipkins said. “We’ve just got to do a better job of being gap sound. I know a couple of times I was out of my gap, and got to do a better job up front, and that starts with myself, so we just didn’t get it done. They’re a good football team, but we felt like we were a better team, but just let one get away, so you can’t let that happen.”

The defense registered

Tech might come out on top against La. Tech if they continue to block like they have been doing.

“The blocking was great,” Kingsbury said. “We played a few guys, probably a few too many snaps, and I think I contributed to that, but effort on blocking was through the roof, so if that keeps up, we’ll have a chance.”

Sophomore linebacker D’Vonta Hinton has been out with an injury.

He had 3 solo tackles against SFA this year.

Kingsbury said he is unsure whether or not Hinton will see the field on Saturday.

“He practiced today a little bit,” Kingsbury said.

“I’d say he’s 50-50 to play, but got him some walkthroughs, and so we’ll know how that holds up through the week. I think getting him back either this week or next week could really help us out.”

Saturday’s game against La. Tech will be held at the Jones AT&T stadium.

The game is the annual Celebrate Cotton game, as well. Usually, the Red Raiders wear white for the game.

However, Kingsbury said this year they will be wearing black.

Pipkins said the Red Raiders are excited about the game, and it is not only because they will be playing zero sacks against ASU as well as no quarterback hits.

Pipkins said something that needs to be worked on that they have seen is the pass rush for this Saturday.

“We just have to get better, of course, I’ve got to get better, and it’s nothing with the coaching. It’s up to us, and we have to do a better job of also backing up our coaching, so we’re going to take care of that, we’re going to make some adjustments, and we’re going to get that corrected,” Pipkins said.

Senior defensive back Keenon Ward said they hear all of the comments about the defense being the same as previous years.

He said the players try to ignore it, and the defense is confident in itself.

“We hear the noise, but we just try and ignore it,” Ward said. “We know what people are saying about us ‘same old Tech, same old this’, but we put in the work, and we’re confident in ourselves, and we just got to show it on Saturdays.”

He also said there was some frustration on the sideline during the game.

In each quarter, ASU had at least two scores to extend or retake its lead in the game.

“It’s usually you got to weather the storm, and do

“You know we got another opportunity to show what we can do, and that’s what we’re excited about,” Pipkins said.

“And we’re excited about Saturday. La. Tech is a good football team, and we’re just going to go out there and play hard, try to come out with a win.”

Kingsbury has ties with La. Tech’s cornerback coach Kevin Curtis. Curtis and Kingsbury have coached together before.

“He’s been a close friend for a long time, still close friend,” Kingsbury said.

“When I was at Houston in 2011, we had an unbelievable your job. There was a little bit of frustration on the sideline, but you got to control that,” Ward said. “You can’t get frustrated on the first big play that they do because they feed off of that. So, we got to do a better job emotionally.”

After the game, Ward said defensive coordinator David Gibbs talked to the defense to give the players some words of encouragement.

This is Gibbs’ second season as the defensive coordinator.

“He said we just got to get back to work, and it’s about us, it’s not about anybody else,” Ward said. “He believed in us, we believe in our team, I wouldn’t want to be with another defense.

Like I said, as long as we can just believe in each other, we’ll be fine.”

For this practice, Kingsbury said it was the best so far.

Tech will play against La. Tech 6 p.m. Saturday at the Jones AT&T Stadium.

“I thought today was the best practice we’ve had through camp, through anything, had great energy.

I think they’ve got a good attitude. They want to show what they’ve got this Saturday, so hopefully, it’s a sign of things to come,” Kingsbury said. @JackDensmore_DT

game against La. Tech, and then when I was at Texas A&M in 2012, we had an unbelievable game against La. Tech. I’ve gone against him before. He does a great job. They have a really good team. It’ll be exciting to go up against him.”

La. Tech has a number of new and experienced talents on its offense this year.

Senior wide receiver Trent Taylor is one of them. In 2015, Taylor had a total of 99 receptions, the fifth most in La. Tech history. Those 99 receptions totaled 1,282 yards, according to the La. Tech Athletics website.

Kingsbury said he gives

him credit, and Taylor is on top of his game.

“He plays like a maniac every play, full speed, full go,” Kingsbury said. “One of those types of players, they give you everything they’ve got, every snap, very precise on his routes, very crisp, knows how to find the soft spot in the zone. I’d like him to be in our offense. He’s one of those players.”

La. Tech has a couple of freshman quarterbacks this season: Jack Abraham and Jon Randall Belton.

Senior defensive back Keenon Ward said he thinks the new quarterbacks are good.

“The quarterbacks are tal-

ented,” Ward said. “They’re young, so I mean if we can take advantage of just reading off the young quarterbacks, we’ll be fine.”

Defensively, sophomore defensive back Kisean Allen said this week the defense will work on what it knows it is capable of.

“The main thing is just focusing on our assignments and doing what we know we can do,” Allen said. “Just being more disciplined as a team and as a defense.”

The Red Raiders play host to the Bulldogs at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Jones AT&T Stadium. @AHernandezDT

Pizza man dons bikini bottoms for fantasy loss TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — The punishment for a New Jersey pizza man who finished last in his fantasy football league included a very public walk of shame and a pair of women’s underwear.

Angelo Boemio, 42, marched down a roadway in Toms River wearing only pink women’s bikini bottoms and sneakers while hoisting a sign

signifying his fantasy football misfortune. The pizzeria owner strolled along Route 9 for 10 minutes on Labor Day, inducing hilarity and horror in pedestrians and motorists.

Boemio told the New York Post that people honked their horns and a woman with four children in her minivan drove back-andforth five times as the kids

laughed at his display.

Police also called his business to say they were getting calls from concerned citizens, he said.

“People were calling to say there’s some weirdo in a bikini walking down Route 9, but the officers knew it was a product of fantasy loss, so they let us have our walk of shame,” Boemio said.

Giles, Astros lose 3-2 to Rangers HOUSTON (AP) — Houston’s struggles against Texas might cost the Astros a playoff spot.

Ken Giles allowed two runs in the ninth inning of the Astros’ 3-2 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday night.

Giles had converted nine consecutive save opportunities.

Houston (75-70) has won just three times in 18 games against Texas this year. It is 4 1/2 games back of Toronto and Baltimore for the top spot in the wild-card standings.

“I’ve seen and been in some tough ones,” Houston manager A.J. Hinch said.

“This one’s pretty hard. We had every chance to win the game and obviously strange things happen when we play these guys.”

Giles’ trouble started when Rougned Odor reached on a wild pitch after striking out with one out. He swiped second and scored on Elvis Andrus’ two-out triple. Jurickson Profar followed with a tiebreaking RBI single.

“Things didn’t go our way, go my way,” Giles said. “It’s my responsibility to shut the guys down. I didn’t do my job today. I take full responsibility for that. I didn’t make the pitches when I needed to so I’m just going to take

the good from the bad and just bounce back for the guys next time.”

It was the first blown save for Giles (2-4) since June 18 against Cincinnati. Alex Claudio (4-1) pitched the eighth for the win, and Tanner Scheppers worked a perfect ninth for his first save.

“These guys play complete games across the way and we haven’t been able to solve them,” Hinch said.

Jose Altuve homered in the fourth and Jason Castro connected in the sixth, sending a drive to the upper deck in right field to give the Astros a 2-1 lead.

Adrian Beltre led off the second with his 30th homer for AL West-leading Texas (87-59). Beltre fell to a knee after swinging, but his towering shot traveled all the way to the Crawford Boxes in left.

Houston right-hander Brad Peacock allowed three hits in six innings. He retired his last 10 batters.

Texas right-hander A.J. Griffin also pitched well, striking out seven in a season-long seven innings. Griffin has allowed 26 homers this season and seven over his three September starts.

Astros LHP Dallas

Keuchel, who hasn’t pitched since Aug. 27 because of inflammation in his left shoulder, probably will not throw Wednesday, Hinch said. “We are going to go day to day and see if we can increase any type of activity, but his target date is a little gray area than anything else,” Hinch said.

On Evan Gattis’ towering popup in the fifth, Andrus came in from shortstop and walked up the back of the pitcher’s mound. As he made the catch, Andrus appeared to trip on the top of the mound and fell, but hung on to the ball.

Altuve also lost his footing during the game, but his fall did not have a good result.

Altuve hit an infield single off third base in the sixth that was fielded by Andrus. Altuve made a wide turn around first and slipped in the dirt about 15 feet past first. Andrus double-pumped and then fired to first as Altuve had issues getting his footing back and was tagged out.

Rangers LHP Derek Holland (7-7) will start Wednesday instead of RHP Yu Darvish, manager Jeff Banister said following Tuesday’s game. Darvish will move behind LHP Cole Hamels in the rotation and start Saturday.

Barker wins individual title On Tuesday, the Texas Tech Lady Raiders golf team finished the second annual Red Raider Invitational in second place with Tech junior Gabby Barker taking the first place individual title.

Along with Barker, junior Lauren Mason finished in the top three.

Barker finished the course with a final score of 214 and stroke average of 71.33.

Mason finished two over par with a 218, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

“I thought I played pretty consistently,” Barker said in the release. “I didn’t go upand-down like a roller coaster. I knew that if I bogeyed, there would be some birdie opportunities out there. It feels great (to win the individual title).”

Lower on the leaderboard, Mason finished with the third top-five finish of her golf ca-

reer, according to the release.

This was the Lady Raiders’ first tournament of the 2016-2017 season.

The two-day tournament consisted of 36 holes Monday morning and finished with the last 18 holes of the third and final round midday Tuesday.

Mason led Day One of the invitational finishing the first round 3-over with a score of 291.

She slowly fell that evening with her second round score of 297 just below Barker and Emma Svenson of Central Arkansas.

“I thought it was a great tournament,” Tech coach JoJo Robertson said in the release.

“Our team played well. All in all, I’m really pleased. I think everybody showed some consistency out there. Everybody had some great rounds – maybe their best ever on this course. I’m really pleased,

and it was a really great way to start our season.”

That same day Barker led overall opening in the first two rounds with a 70 in the morning and ending the second round with a 73 later that day.

Mason finished the invitational in third place, shooting a 5-over.

New Mexico State finished first overall by placing 9 strokes ahead of Tech.

Among some of Tech’s other scorers, sophomore Mami Yamamoto and Caralyn Barker both finished in a tie for 43rd.

This was the first of two invitationals to be hosted at The Rawls Course.

The Lady Raiders will continue the season Oct. 9 in Houston at The Club at Carlton Woods course in the Jim West Challenge. @TheDT_Sports

The Marlins, who remained five games out of a playoff spot, won for only the fifth time in their last 17 games.

“Just when you think he’s run out of steam here in the season, all of a sudden he’s throwing hits up,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said of Suzuki. “He’s an amazing guy. He stays in great shape.

He’s really good for our club.”

With the Marlins trailing

2-0, Suzuki ripped a single to right in the third to bring home a run. Christian Yelich followed with a two-run double to the gap in right-center.

Suzuki sparked another three-run outburst in the fifth with the game tied 3-all, hardly looking his age as he sped around the bases for a leadoff triple. He scored the goahead run on Marcell Ozuna’s one-out single, and Justin’s

Freddie Freeman and Kemp homered for the Braves, providing a glimmer of hope in the middle of Atlanta’s order for next season.

Army back practicing to honor fallen teammate

51 Cruise stop 52 Pork choice 53 Do a vet’s job 54 Chum 55 NPR journalist Shapiro 56 Bone in a cage

Army coach Jeff Monken and his Black Knights knew the best way to honor Brandon Jackson was to return to the football field and practice with a purpose.

So that’s what the team did on Monday, a day after Jackson, a 20-year-old sophomore defensive back from Queens, New York, was killed in a single-car crash.

“Right from the get-go and just being out there was therapeutic for our team,” Monken said Tuesday. “I think they were just glad to be out there together, and to be able to feel like they were doing something together to honor Brandon.”

The fatal accident occurred at around 1:50 a.m.

Sunday about 20 miles south of the West Point campus in Westchester County, according to police and the U.S. Military Academy. The crash, which remains under investigation, happened sev-

eral hours after Army had defeated Rice in the Black Knights’ home opener at Michie Stadium.

“He deeply cared for people and was beloved by teammates,” Monken said. “It’s just so sad for his family. Our guys are reeling right now.”

Monken said he had not received word of funeral plans for Jackson.

Jackson was an impact player for the Black Knights.

He had played in every game since arriving on campus in 2015 and finished with 68 career tackles and three interceptions, two of them against Wake Forest last fall.

“He was a great cadet.

He was a good student, a good football player and he represented this program in a way that I want all our guys to represent this program,” Monken said. “He’s a guy that we can be proud of.”

Once Monken was informed of Jackson’s death,

he said the academy made sure Jackson’s mother was notified immediately to avoid the chance that social media might become an unwanted factor. The players were then told.

“Word travels fast,” Monken said. “It was amazing how quickly — before our guys even left the room — it was public knowledge. I was glad we were able to be here together and be able to comfort each other.”

Army is off to a 2-0 start for the first time since 1996.

That team, coached by Bob Sutton, won its first nine.

The Black Knights will try to make it three in a row when they begin the first of three weeks on the road with a game Saturday night at Texas-El Paso (1-1).

“We’re already together.

I don’t think it’s going to pull us apart,” Monken said.

“We’ll forge on. We’re a tight group. We don’t need a cause now to play hard.”

Kaepernick controversy sheds light on larger issues

T

he summer of 2016 was very troublesome. Alton Sterling. Philando Castile. Dallas. Baton Rouge. Orlando.

These events, combined with this year’s absolute circus of a presidential election, provided all the ingredients to brew the firepot that is San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s protest.

This stew may not go down easily in everybody’s throats, but it’s one that needed to be made and tasted. Kaepernick’s stance to not stand up for the national anthem has evoked passionate emotions riled-up in the minds of many Americans.

It’s made us think about what exactly is patriotism, the actual meaning of the national anthem and issues related to our veteran community.

Richard Nwanguma is a senior marketing major from Friendswood.

For so long in this day and age, many have felt that among public figures, highprofile athletes should be more vocal in social issues because of the amount of fans and influence they have.

Back in the 1960s, the backdrop of Vietnam, the psychedelia and the Civil Rights Movement brought Muhammad Ali to reject going to war and Tommie Smith and John Carlos to raise their fists during the national anthem at the 1968 Olympics.

Nowadays, professional athletes have a lot more at stake off the playing arena.

They’re not only players on the turf, pitch, court, ice, and whatnot, but they’re also entertainers and businesspeople who have brands to protect. In the past, it was seen as risky for them to get involved.

Many have asked during times of social strife where Tiger Woods has been.

And only until now, when Michael Jordan finally took action with his recent donations to the NAACP and the Institute for Community Police Relations, Jordan’s been widely chastised for staying mum on social dilemmas.

I mean even until this day, people remember his infamous, “Republicans wear sneakers too,” comment.

Now, here’s my take on how I feel about what Kaepernick is doing.

Personally, I would have gone about something like this in a much different way.

America isn’t perfect. It has its flaws as a nation just as we do as human beings.

Yet, there are millions of individuals who’ll sacrifice everything they have and are willing to die trying to come on U.S. soil, legally or illegally.

Along with this, our veterans have gone through anguish, physical and mental, just to defend the values and freedoms we Americans enjoy.

Though it’s arguable, the American flag is seen as a representation of all this.

I wouldn’t want to be seen in any way of disowning that.

I also disagree with Kaepernick’s timing of all this, as he’s at a critical point in try-

ing to salvage his NFL career.

A washout last season, he’s now backup to Blaine Gabbert, who, as football aficionados surely know, isn’t all that great.

However, he has every right to do what he’s doing and how he’s going about it, both under the eyes of the Constitution and the NFL league guidelines, which, whether we like it or not, doesn’t require for players to stand during the anthem.

And with that, people have every right to rip him to shreds on social media and burn his jersey. It’s called discourse.

Discourse is what makes America, America. No creative solution has ever occurred without conflict.

I support what Kaepernick is doing because it

allows for an imperative conversation to be had, and he has the platform for this conversation to be widely heard.

Now, I’m sure Kaepernick doesn’t hate America, as I’d like to think not many Americans do.

Come to think of it America is pretty great — I’m speaking to you Mr. Trump — compared to a lot of other nations on this planet because one can do this and not be punished for it.

This is certainly not the case for residents of, let’s say, North Korea or Syria.

Anyhow, the message that I believe he’s trying to convey, and I wholeheartedly agree with, is while America is great, it can be better.

It can always be better. opinions@dailytoreador.com

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Big 12 Conference announces Lady Raiders television schedule The Big 12 Conference released the women’s basketball TV schedule on Tuesday, and the Lady Raiders will be featured on FOX Sports Southwest twice this upcoming season.

According to a Texas Tech Athletics news release, the Lady Raiders will play Kansas at 11 a.m. on Jan. 28 and will host TCU at 7 p.m. on Feb. 27 on the channel.

Overall, according to the release, the Big 12 will have 28 games aired on a FOX Sports Network channel.

According to the release, the nine games in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championships are included in the televised schedule.

The Lady Raiders finished the 2015-2016 regular season with an overall

record of 13-18.

Tech went 10-3 in nonconference play, but only managed to come out victorious in three Big 12 games, while losing 15.

The Lady Raiders were succesful at home finishing 10-7 overall, but went undefeated in the United Supermarkets Arena in nonconference play winning all eight home matchups.

On Aug. 15, the Lady Raiders embarked on a European tour through Portugal and Spain.

The team wrapped up the tour by going 3-0 overseas.

In the three-game tour, freshman Brittany Brewer averaged 13.7 points per game and 7.7 rebounds per game, according to a previous Tech Athletics article.

“I thought in all three

games we had the opportunity to run and score in transition,” Tech coach Candi Whitaker said in the article. “I love that our team is just playing basketball, reading defense and taking advantage of the opportunities they have to score the ball.

I thought as a team we played really well and shared the basketball.

There were several extra passes made to finish possessions. We have room for growth but this gave us valuable experience and a jump start for this season.”

Keter named Big 12 Runner of the Week after performance

Senior cross country runner Benard Keter’s performance at the Texas Tech Open this past Monday earned him the honor of being named the Big 12 Confer-

ence Runner of the Week.

According to a Tech Athletics news release, this is Keter’s first year running with the cross country team.

The Red Raiders finished

first at the event and were led by Keter.

The Rawls Course, where the Texas Tech Open was hosted, will be the same course the Big 12 Champion-

ships will use on Oct. 29.

“This is a nice honor for running a good race at our home opener,” Tech coach Jon Murray said in the release. “It is always nice when

(Keter’s) work is recognized.”

According to the release, Keter ’s performance was the second straight victory for him. He defeated New Mexico State earlier this

month on Sept. 2.

The Red Raiders travel to Fayetteville, Arkansas, for their next meet on Oct. 1 in the Chile Pepper Festival. @BSoliz_DT

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NCAA turns up pressure on North Carolina over bathroom law RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The NCAA’s decision to pull seven championships out of North Carolina ratchets up the pressure on this college sports-crazy state to repeal its law on bathroom use by transgender people.

Unlike the recent onetime cancellations by the

NBA and various rock stars, the move by college sports’ governing body could make moderate and conservative voters question whether the price tag for the law has finally become too high.

Economic development officials said the effect of the NCAA’s

action goes well beyond the projected $20 million in lost revenue from the cancellation of the 201617 basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, lacrosse and golf events.

“College sports is part of the fabric of North Carolina. It’s part of the culture. I can say with confidence that there’s

no other state in the country that loves its college sports more than North Carolina.

That’s why it hits so hard and feels so personal,” said Scott Dupree, executive director of the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance, which was coordinating four of the events being moved.

Terms & Conditions

The law passed in March requires transgender people to use restrooms in schools and state government buildings that correspond to the gender on their birth certificate. It also excludes gender identity and sexual orientation from statewide antidis-

crimination protections.

The Obama administration is suing the state over the measure, calling it discriminatory.

Republican Gov. Pat McCrory and GOP leaders are defending it as a means of protecting the privacy and safety of women and girls.
