Police arrest suspect in south Dallas shooting DALLAS (AP) — Police have arrested a 24-year-old man on murder charges in connection with a fatal south Dallas shooting.

According to an arrest warrant, Johnny Walker is accused of shooting to death 55-year-old Charles Turner in a parking lot around 4 p.m. Saturday.

Police say Walker was taken into custody late the same night.

The warrant says that earlier Saturday, witnesses heard Walker say he was angry with and wanted to kill someone who had tried to push him.

Later, according to witnesses, Walker saw Turner park his car nearby. Walker then jumped up, walked to the parking lot and was seen firing three or four gunshots.

Walker was arrested a few blocks from where Turner was slain.

Another female police officer shot in Afghanistan

Enrollment rises among Hispanics

By ADAM BARENTINE Staff Writer

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) — Gunmen shot the top female police officer in a troubled southern Afghan province Sunday, leaving her facing possible paralysis just months after her predecessor was killed, government and hospital authorities said. It was the latest in a series of attacks on prominent women in Afghanistan, where just 1 percent of the police force is female.

The officer, identified only as Negar, was buying grass for her lambs outside her home when two gunmen drove up on a motorbike and fired at her, said Omar Zawak, a spokesman for the governor of Helmand province.

The 38-year-old suffered a bullet wound to the neck, and the medical team treating her is trying to keep her from being paralyzed as a result of the injury, said one of the doctors who operated on her. He gave him name only as Shahwali for security reasons.

Negar’s bodyguards fired back at the gunmen, but the attackers escaped.

Students listened to country music, danced in the rain and ate fried cow testicles at the 33rd annual Kalf Fry on Friday night.

Kalf Fry was at 7 p.m. at the Lone Star Amphitheater. This year’s event featured performances by Jason Eady, Joe Ely and Ryan Bingham. Texas Tech fraternities Kappa Alpha and Phi Delta Theta hosted the event.

Kalf Fry is a philanthropy event, Collin Crumley, a sophomore from Odessa, and a member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity said. The money raised for the event goes to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

“We’re just out here raising money for a good cause,” he said.

Kalf Fry is a big deal, Vince Parisi, a junior political science major from Houston and a member of Kappa Alpha, said. Tech students are not the only ones in attendance as Lubbock locals enjoy the event as well.

“It’s all kinds of different people,” he said.

Hundreds of people showed up for the 33rd annual Kalf Fry event.

The evening began with Jason Eady performing with his band. They ended their time playing, “Back to Jackson,” a song Eady wrote about his hometown.

Chase Mosley, a sophomore pre-nursing from Dallas, said he had never been to Kalf Fry before and looked forward to hearing the music at the event.

Hispanic students have reached a new achievement regarding national college enrollment.

According to The Associated Press, more than 2 million Hispanics aged 18-24 were enrolled in college last year.

According to the Pew Hispanic Center, Hispanic students accounted for 16.5 percent of all graduate and undergraduate students.

That makes Hispanic students the largest minority group among four-year college and university students, according to the AP article.

Renee Salas, a junior public relations major from Lockney, said he is excited by this statistic.

Salas describes himself as an MexicanAmerican and said he likes that Hispanic students, much like him, are pursuing a college degree.

“It’s great that my particular ethnicity is showing a greater interest in higher education,” he said. “It’s really important that we pursue that.”

Vanessa Oceguera said she thinks the parents are the reason behind the recent spike in Hispanic student enrollment.

A junior human development and family studies major from Houston, Oceguera is a first-generation college student. She said because her parents did not go to college, they were persistent in their desire for her to attend Texas Tech.

“My parents really pushed me to go to college because they didn’t,” she said. “The parents are playing a really big influence on the college students.”

Jacinda Payne, a freshman nutrition and pre-physical therapy major from Snyder, said she thinks the reason behind the rise is more fiscal than social.

There are a number of Hispanic scholarship opportunities on the Tech website.

These range from more broad opportunities, such as the Hispanic College Fund, to ones more particular, such as the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineering scholarship.

Tech School of Law ranks among best value schools in nation

For the fifth time, Texas Tech’s School of Law was named one of the best value schools in the nation.

Every year The National Jurist produces a list of the top 20 best value law schools where Tech was ranked No. 18 last year, and its placement on this year’s list will be released when next month’s issue hits the shelves.

“I think it’s fantastic. I think it is illustrating what we have known for a long time,” Wendy Ross, a professor of law, said. “We have worked really hard here to really educate students to be good lawyers.”

The list takes five different aspects into account when ranking the schools. According to ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

The National Jurist, 15 percent of the study is based on the percentage of graduates who pass the bar exam and 35 percent is based on the percentage of students who get a job after graduation.

Those numbers are weighed against the school’s tuition cost, which makes up 25 percent of the study, cost of living at 10 percent, and average amount of debt students’ acquire upon graduation at 15 percent.

Based on those calculations Tech’s law school has consistently ranked among the top 20 in the nation.

“I think that is absolutely true,” Michael Campbell said. “I’m going to get out of here with the equivalent of a car payment versus hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. So I really appreciate that.”

The third-year law student from Beaumont,

BUSINESS: 806-742-3388

said the professors at Tech’s law school are what make the program one of the best in the nation.

The professors at the law school have an open-door policy throughout the campus, in which the students are encouraged to address questions directly with their professors in a relaxed setting, Ross said.

“A lot of our professors are really great,” Campbell said. “They have a very adhered to open-door policy. I have always been welcomed by professors to ask questions both in class and after class.”

The school also has a decorated advocacy team that is nationally renowned. The Blakely Advocacy Institute currently ranks the school’s moot-court team No. 7 in the nation.

Melissa Oney, a third-year law student from Houston, said she regards this as one of the reasons

FAX: 806-742-2434

why the school is on the best value list.

“We have really great advocacy teams here,” she said. “I also think the (Board of Barrister) competitions and the B.O.B. in general is just really great.”

According to the law school’s website, the average student who is a Texas resident will pay $37,620 this year for an education at Tech’s law school.

It is that price tag, along with the superior education offered that make the law program one of the 20 best value schools in the nation, Ross said.

“It is inexpensive yet the quality is not sacrificed,” she said. “Meaning that the professors give them a good-quality education. They really get them ready for practicing law and that is from day one.” ➤➤abarentine@dailytoreador.com

For all your Tech news and sports

Through a little physical exercise and a lot of compassion, a group of individuals, including Texas Tech students, made an impact on a local no-kill animal shelter. The Haven Animal Care Shelter, a nonprofit foundation, hosted a 5K fun run and one-mile dog walk Saturday to benefit the animals of the center.

Established in 1977 by Dr. Brenda and Joe Wilbanks, the Haven is home to more than 100 animals and has grown throughout the years to encompass seven acres near Lubbock.

“I decided that there were a lot of animals that needed homes,” Wilbanks, executive director of the Haven said.

A former teacher who began rescuing animals and accepting rescues from students, Wilbanks said she saw the Haven become a recognized charity in 1990. Focusing on special-needs animals, including those with serious injuries, Wilbanks said that is what sets the Haven apart from other rescues.

“Three-legged dogs can find a home just like anyone else,” Wilbanks said after relating the story of a dog whose leg was broken so severely it had to be amputated.

Continuously running for the last nine years, Strut for the Mutts has developed a reputation and repeat participation among former participants as well as a growing number of new faces.

“All of the money from the Strut goes directly to the animals’ care for mainly vet bills,” Wilbanks said.

Averaging around 130 people each year, the Strut normally sees between 60 and 70 dogs walk, plus the Haven dogs that are available for pre-registered participants to walk. Former Haven rescues are asked to return each year to reunite with the staff who saw them placed into “forever homes.”

With Haven adoptees wearing pink bandanas and dogs currently available wearing yellow, Atwood said the volunteers on hand would show available dogs off but, regardless, they would be safe at the Haven.

“Dogs have a ‘forever home’ even if they aren’t adopted,” she said. “The Strut helps the Haven animals tremendously. We have a great volunteer base, including groups.”

Tech students groups, volunteering with Haven dogs as well as bringing their own, showed up to the Strut. With four student groups represented, comprised of the Black Student Association, the Student Animal Legal Defense Fund, Raiders Helping Others and

the Tech Quidditch Team, more than 50 Tech students were on hand for the Strut.

A freshman chemical engineering major from Richmond, Jah-nii Munoz, volunteered her time, along with fellow members of the Black Student Association, by walking a Haven dog named “Little Man.” “At the first meeting of the semester they told us about the volunteer opportunities and I thought this would be a good way to get involved in the community,” she said.

Munoz, who is currently researching breeds to adopt in the future, also felt that volunteering with the Haven dogs would give her a better idea of what breed would best suit her.

“Recently, I’ve gained a passion for dogs and I figured this would be a good way to figure out what breed of dog I truly want,” she said.

Another participant, Brooke

Dacus, a second-year law student from Thousand Oaks, Calif., participated in the Strut with her Haven dog, Lexi.

“I’ve always loved dogs my entire life but I have an extra soft spot for shelter dogs,” she said. “They deserve special homes.”

Dacus, who appreciates Lexi’s company while studying, said she and her Haven dog have bonded since she first brought Lexi home.

In addition to special-needs animals, such as those with chronic illnesses as well as the elderly, the Haven is home to a wide variety of dogs and cats in need of loving homes.

Though the 2013 Strut for the Mutts has passed, there are still opportunities to volunteer with the Haven.

“We love to have college students volunteer.” Wilbanks said.

Hispanic students are first in their family to attend college, they have trouble navigating through the admission procedure.

“I feel like it may be a little more difficult,” she said, “because, I mean with the enrollment process, if they don’t have anyone to help them it’s kind of trying.”

She said there are social hurdles Hispanic students must overcome as well, aside from a lack of help filling out a college application.

Hispanic students have issues finding a social group to associate with, Oceguera said. Being in a minority, she said many Hispanic students do not feel like there are many people on campus they can relate to.

“Hispanic students here are the minority, I feel like they just really want to fit in,” she said.

“They’re embarrassed because there’s not really many people like them.”

Mustafa Quasem, a senior industrial engineering major from Irving, said he is not interested in demographics based on race.

He said Hispanic students have the same social and logistical opportunities as any other student.

“All that matters is about where you came up from,” he said, “where you grew up, how your parents are and the values you learn at home.”

CAIRO (AP) — The Egyptian army has discovered a network of booby traps along its border with the Gaza Strip, a military spokesman said Sunday, as he criticized the Palestinian territory’s Hamas rulers for poorly controlling their side of the border and urged them to reign in militant groups operating there.

The accusations, made in a news conference explaining the military’s ongoing offensive in the volatile northern Sinai area, were a rare public criticism of the Palestinian militant group by the military since the July ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in a coup.

Egyptian media has been pointing the finger at Hamas for meddling in Egypt’s affairs, some suggesting that the ouster of Morsi, an ally and fellow Islamist, has prompted the group to cause trouble in Sinai by supporting militant groups there.

Hamas officials have denied interfering and complain that Egyptian authorities have imposed the strictest restrictions on the border and its vital Rafah crossing in years.

“Securing borders is a joint mission for those sharing the borders.

It is also up to Hamas to exert more effort to control the borders,” Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali said.

“Egypt deserves more than the effort we are seeing from the other side to secure the border.”

Ali said troops have arrested 309 militants and criminals, including Palestinians, in operations that began in the region in July and were stepped up with an offensive last weekend. They also uncovered weapons caches that included antiaircraft missiles, long-range mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and tons of explosives, he added.

In the last 48 hours, he said, troops had discovered explosives laid in tunnels along the border and under Egyptian watchtowers, with detonating wires running back into Gaza.

“This will call for new measures ... to deal with these threats that endanger the forces and the borders,” Ali told reporters, adding that Egyptian intelligence had also discovered that a number of insurgent attacks in Sinai had been coordinated with Gaza-based extremist groups.

Floods transform Colorado’s ‘Gore-Tex Vortex’

LYONS, Colo. (AP) — The cars that normally clog Main Street in Lyons on the way to Rocky Mountain National Park have been replaced by military supply trucks.

Shop owners in Estes Park hurriedly cleared their wares in fear that the Big Thompson River will rise again. A plywood sign encouraged residents mucking out their homes to “Hang in there.”

Days of rain and floods have transformed the outdoorsy mountain communities in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain foothills affectionately known “The Gore-Tex Vortex” from a paradise into a disaster area with little in the way of supplies or services — and more rain falling Sunday.

The string of communities from Boulder to Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, is a base for backpackers and nature lovers where blue-collar and yuppie sensibilities exist side by side. Now, roadways have crumbled, scenic bridges are destroyed, the site of the bluegrass festival is washed out and most shops are closed.

Chris Rodes, one of Lyons’ newest residents, said the change is so drastic that he is considering moving away just two weeks after

SEPT. 16, 2013

NEWS

settling there.

“It’s not the same,” Rodes said.

“All these beautiful places, it’s just brown mud.”

Estes Park town administrator Frank Lancaster said it could be a month or more before things get back to some semblance of normal, and he advised visitors who would normally flock there during the golden September days to stay away.

The residents who remained or began trickling back — if they were allowed to do so — were left to watch out for one another. Restaurateurs and grocers in Lyons were distributing food to their neighbors as others arrived in groups carrying supplies.

Scott Martin, 25, drove the half-hour from Boulder Saturday to deliver drinking water and gasoline to a friend’s parents. He fled Lyons amid a torrential downpour on Wednesday night after the mountain stream that cuts through town gushed into his basement.

Martin grew up tubing down the river and hiking the mountains, and like many residents, he still jumps in the water after work.

Looking into the cottonwood and aspen trees at the outskirts of town,

he wondered when he would be able to do those things again.

“Best case, it’s just mud everywhere; in everyone’s yard and all the streets,” he said.

From the mountain communities east to the plains city of Fort Morgan, numerous pockets of individuals remained cut off by the flooding. Sunday’s rain hampered the helicopter searches, and rescuers trekked by ground up dangerous canyon roads to reach some of those homes isolated since Wednesday.

The surging waters have been deadly, with four people confirmed dead and two more missing and presumed dead after their homes were swept away.

Hundreds of people have still not been heard from, but with phone service being restored to some of the areas over the weekend, officials hoped that number would drop as they contacted more stranded people.

In Estes Park, some 20 miles from Lyons, hundreds of homes and cabins were empty. High water still covered several low-lying streets.

Where the river had receded, it had left behind up to a foot of mud.

Ironically, the massive Estes Ark — a three-story former toy

store designed to look like Noah’s Ark — was high and dry.

“I don’t know if it’s open anymore, but soon it’s going to be our only way out,” joked Carly Blankfein.

Supplies of gas and groceries had been running low until Route 7 was recently reopened. On Sunday, people were lined up at the one gas station where a tanker had arrived.

At the Aspen and Evergreen Gallery along the town’s main street next to the Big Thompson River, owner Tamara Jarolimek was clearing out the shop Sunday in fear that the new wave of rain would cause another surge.

“We only have limited time to get out as much as we can,” she said.

Bombings kill 58 in south and central Iraq BAGHDAD (AP) — A wave of car bombings and other attacks in Iraq killed at least 58 people in mostly Shiite-majority cities on Sunday, another bloody reminder of the government’s failure to stem the surge of violence that is feeding sectarian tensions.

Iraq is experiencing its deadliest bout of violence since 2008, raising fears the country is returning to a period of widespread killing such as that

which pushed it to the brink of civil war following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. More than 4,000 people have been killed in attacks since the start of April, including 804 just in August, according to United Nations figures.

Sunday’s deadliest attack was in the city of Hillah, 95 kilometers (60 miles) south of Baghdad, where a car bomb near an outdoor market killed nine civilians and wounded 15 others, a police officer said.

Gleinser: Abortion law protects safety, unborn Reynolds: Law misguided, curbs women’s rights

I

n spite of Texas Sen. Wendy Davis’ attention-drawing filibuster, the Texas Legislature passed a bill restricting abortions in July. The bill, according to a New York Times article, “bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, requires abortion clinics to meet the same standards as hospital-style surgical centers and mandates that a doctor have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the facility where he or she performs abortions.”

Opponents of the bill, as is usually the case with abortion issues, argue the measure is an attempt to curb women’s rights and control their bodies. Cecile Richards, daughter of former Texas governor Ann Richards, claimed the bill’s passage “has created a whole new generation of activists who are in it for the long run to elect leaders who will protect women’s health.”

In spite of these assertions, opposition to abortion has nothing to do with controlling women’s bodies or threatening their health, and abortion opponents are not misogynistic members of the He-Man Woman Haters Club.

What the issue basically comes down to is personal responsibility.

The parents making a mistake does not justify depriving the child of its opportunity to live. Instead of taking responsibility for their actions, abortion allows the parents to wash their hands of their mistake. It’s a cop-out, and it comes at the expense of the child.

If people don’t want to have a child, the simple solution is to not get pregnant in the first place.

The responsibility for preventing unwanted pregnancies, as well as for raising the children born from those pregnancies, falls equally

on men and women. This is by no means entirely a women’s issue.

Contraception is relatively cheap and easy to obtain.

According to the National Abortion Federation’s website, one method of abortion consists of using a vacuum-like apparatus, where “the contents of the uterus are emptied by suction.” Notice how it makes no mention of a fetus, an unborn child or anything resembling life.

This sort of detachment is the key to the pro-abortion argument.

If people see “the contents of the uterus” as a developing human being, they would be less likely to get an abortion. Pro-choice activists would rather people see abortion as a routine medical procedure instead of the ending of a life.

This is why there is such stark opposition to Texas’ other notable abortion law, which passed in 2011, requiring doctors who perform abortions to provide a sonogram beforehand and explain it to the mother, while also giving women the option to see the sonogram images and hear the baby’s heartbeat.

If the mother sees the fetus and hears its heartbeat, she might be less inclined to get the abortion.

Abortions also are not 100 percent effective. Perhaps the most chilling example of this is the case of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, who was convicted in May of snapping the necks of live babies who had survived abortions.

Back to the issue at hand, though, the Texas abortion bill is a step in the right direction. At the 20-week stage, according to parents. com, babies begin to move inside the womb and have “well-developed limbs.” I’d say it’s more of an unborn child at that stage, rather than

simply “the contents of the uterus.”

The new standards on clinics, according to a Reuters article, will likely cause very few clinics to close, citing the effect similar laws had in other states. Mandating that a doctor performing abortions have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles will provide a safety net for women in case a complication should arise where she needs immediate medical attention only a hospital can provide.

The argument against the bill holds little water. The Supreme Court has ruled in the past that states have the right to ban abortions beyond the point where the baby could survive outside the womb. According to a Weekly Standard article, “medical advancements have moved the point of viability up to 22 weeks into pregnancy (20 weeks after conception), the point at which the Texas law…would ban most abortions.”

Holding clinics to higher safety standards would hopefully prevent tragedies such as the Gosnell case, which also unfortunately featured the death of a woman in his clinic.

This law is not about destroying women’s health, as critics would have one believe. It’s about ensuring safety standards as well as protecting the rights of the unborn and the sanctity of life. Perhaps if people exercised more personal responsibility, the demand for abortions would decline. But until that happens, we must work to ensure legal abortions be performed safely and the viable unborn children be protected.

2020 Olympics will tarnish Japan’s economy The International Olympic Committee recently chose Tokyo over Istanbul and Madrid as the site for the 2020 Olympic Games. Despite great anticipation over the prospect of Istanbul becoming the first predominantly Muslim city to host the Olympics, recent anti-government protests combined with regional instability emanating from the Syrian conflict pushed the IOC to deem Tokyo the safest of bid cities, according to the Washington Post.

Though it is easy to express excitement for this event, it is important to recognize that the Olympics could potentially become burdensome for Japan in the years to come.

Dubbed the “Curse of the Olympics,” host countries frequently go into economic shambles following the games. In 2009, the Telegraph reported that Beijing “suffers from the curse of the Olympics” after hosting the games in 2008.

According to CBC News, “government figures show Britain is still mired in recession despite all the recent Olympic spending.”

The amount of money spent developing infrastructure to host for just a few short weeks sends these nations into debt. The Montreal Olympics of 1976 take the cake for experiencing the worst post-Olympics failure. According to CBS News, the city went 796 percent over budget, and painstakingly continued to pay off its debt until 2006. According to Bloomberg Businessweek, Athens had a similar situation — the host city for the 2004 Olympics is estimated to have spent about 5 percent of Greece’s GDP on the Games, leaving the economy in ruins and even contributing to its recent economic crash.

Many Japanese people savored the good news. After all, many hoped for the bid after the devastating earthquake that struck the country in March of 2011. According to the Wall Street Journal, they were ecstatic that the Olympics would give Japan

the economic boost it needs to help it shake off its lagging economy and rebuild from the consequences of the recent natural disaster.

But in a country that is still struggling to clean up the aftermath of the earthquake and nuclear fiasco, the Olympics will do more harm than good. Out of 37 venues planned for the Games, the city has promised to construct 22 from scratch. It expects to spend an estimated one billion dollars on refurbishing the stadium from the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, according to CNN. Total construction cost is expected to come in at about $4.1 billion. It is not appropriate to spend this money for what is essentially a large party that lasts for a few weeks. There are no guarantees that it will benefit a country suffering from a straggling economy, declining population and an aging demography — just to name a few of Japan’s many problems.

Though it is easy to rejoice, the Japanese people should examine the reality of the issue: Following initial hype and euphoria lies a serious dilemma.

n case you missed it, during the summer the Texas Legislature successfully passed new laws further restricting access to abortion in the state. The law, which was successfully filibustered for 11 hours by State Sen. Wendy Davis in the first session, was signed by Gov. Rick Perry after calling a second special session to pass the bill.

Under the new laws, among the strictest in the nation, it will be illegal for clinics to offer the abortion procedure after 20 weeks of gestation and only allows physicians to administer the abortion-inducing drug RU-486 in Texas. The law also requires clinics offering abortions to meet facility structural guidelines of ambulatory surgical centers and physicians offering abortions in those clinics must have hospitaladmitting privileges within 30 miles of the clinic.

The law is touted by its supporters as ensuring safe procedures after state auditors of abortion clinics found 19 regulation infractions last year, almost all of which were administrative and all of which were immediately rectified. In response to

Editor-in-Chief Kassidy Ketron editor@dailytoreador.com Managing Editor Paige Skinner managing@dailytoreador.com News Editor Catherine McKee news@dailytoreador.com La Vida Editor Chantal Espinoza features@dailytoreador.com Opinions Editor Andrew Gleinser opinions@dailytoreador.com Sports Editor Michael DuPont II sports@dailytoreador.com

the new law, nine abortion clinics in the state have shut their doors and only six of the 38 remaining, located in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston, meet the new structural requirements.

However, there is little evidence to support the claim that increased safety requirements for abortion clinics are warranted. In fact, abortion is one of the safest medical procedures offered.

According to the Texas Tribune, which has done extensive coverage of abortion laws in the state, five women died from abortion-related complications out of the roughly 865,300 women who underwent an abortion between 2000 and 2010.

That makes Texas’ abortion-related death rate 0.57 deaths per 100,000, which is lower than the national rate of 0.7 per 100,000.

Saying the new law is meant to ensure the safety of Texas women is an outright lie. Much like the last major Texas abortion-related legislation, which was essentially state-mandated intimidation requiring women getting abortions to get a sonogram of the fetal heartbeat, this law is another blatant attempt by the Texas GOP to deny women their reproductive rights.

It will effectively shut down almost all of the clinics offering

abortion in the state, denying safe and professional reproductive health care to hundreds of thousands of Texas women.

What anti-abortion rights zealots and Texas GOP lawmakers don’t seem to realize is that these laws are not going to stop women from getting abortions. All anti-abortion legislation such as this is going to accomplish is driving women seeking an abortion to more desperate, dangerous and possibly life-threatening measures to get one. Why would you deny a medical procedure that is already one of the safest procedures offered?

If Texas GOP lawmakers and anti-abortionists really want to stop women from getting abortions, they should support education of Texans in safe-sexual practices that reduce the risk of unplanned pregnancy and the necessity for abortion.

Pushing for abstinence-only sex education, which has been a consistent platform staple of Texas conservatives and proven as an ineffective means of preventing pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and then denying safe and legal reproductive health care, are not only hypocritical, but outright irresponsible and sexist leadership, and also a violation of human rights and dignity.

America’s youth growing soft, weak

By DANNY SCHNATHORST Iowa State DaIly (Iowa State U.)

America has gone soft. The once great nation into which I was born has slowly transformed itself into one of the softest countries on Earth and people take advantage of the country that I love. To some, America seems tough.

I can promise you one thing, however.

America now compared to America 40 years ago is a completely different nation.

God forbid you spank your child in the United States; you’ll get thrown in jail, and they throw away the key. We had a great counselor at my high school who got put in jail because he spanked his kid with a wooden spoon. A wooden spoon. I never thought I would see the day that a simple punishment like spanking would turn into “child abuse.”

I have never once come across someone who has done something more than once after their elders disciplined them. Today, if I were to disrupt or disrespect a high school teacher during a lecture, what happens? I’m sent to the counselor to talk about my feelings and if everything is all right at home. What happens after that? I get sent back into the classroom, with no repercussions and I do it again, knowing very well that I can get away with it.

According to a research done by Robert Larzelere, published in the Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review in 2005, when used correctly, spanking is safe and effective. He went on to say: “When used correctly, spanking leads to lower defiance and lower aggression than 10 or 13 other disciplinary alternatives

with which it has been compared.”

Our generation has grown up in a time where if you scrape your knee, you go see the doctor. My grandparents were some of the toughest people I know.

Now, if you cough once, not only can you get sent home from school, but you can get referred to the doctor.

Take the whooping cough outbreak.

My brother had it and I was required to stay home for a week, simply because I was exposed to him. I’m not saying that if you have an actual illness not to go to the doctor, but come on. Just because your arm feels funny, doesn’t mean you need to go to the Emergency Room. This is just one of myriad examples of why our children are too soft.

In 2001, when the No Child Left Behind Act was signed, everything changed. How did it change? You no longer had to work for your diploma.

Our current government is so focused on passing everyone, that when it comes time for kids to graduate, they don’t know even half of what they should. Since the act was signed, the National Assessment of Educational Progress reported in 2011 that nearly three out of four eighth- and 12th-grade students could not write proficiently. In fact, nearly two-thirds of eighth-graders scored below proficient in math.

Now don’t get me wrong, not all kids are like that. Some of them actually work for their grades (crazy concept, I know).

However, like I said before, America has gotten soft. People get five, 10, maybe even 20 chances to get their high school diploma. That’s why that once huge accomplishment is now considered “just Copyright © 2013 Texas Tech University Student Media/The Daily Toreador.

a piece of paper.” The value of working hard for a degree has depreciated. Why work hard all four years if you can just lie back, have fun and end up with the exact same qualifications as the person next to you who studies three hours a day?

So what needs to happen is quite simple, really. Get rid of the kids who don’t want to learn or don’t want to be there. Stop wasting time and resources for someone who doesn’t even bring a pencil to class. Why should my learning get in the way of someone who can’t put together a grammatically correct sentence?

Iowa law states that a kid must attend school until the age of 16. Get those kids who don’t want to be there into the workforce. There are many countries where kids are forced to work at an incredibly young age. An individual is not entitled to an education. They do not “deserve” one.

You should simply be grateful enough that we live in a country that provides us with an opportunity to learn. Don’t take advantage of it because I can promise you that some kid in Africa would be more than happy to have the chance to learn.

Something needs to change. If kids continue acting the way they do today, unchecked by parental discipline, America will slowly turn into the “sissy” country. Countries will no longer fear our once “Don’t tread on me” stance, but rather laugh in the face of our attempt of being fierce. America needs to change back to the real America, where the “land of the free, home of the brave” weren’t just some lyrics in a song, but rather a lifestyle and words to live by.

South Plains Food Bank hosts 30-hour food drive

By LIANA SOLIS Staff Writer

Food drives hosted across the world have benefited families in need for the past few centuries.

The South Plains Food Bank in partnership with Texas Tech hosted its annual 30-hour food drive from Friday to Saturday at the Market Street on 19th Street and Quaker Avenue.

Melissa Henderson, the communication director of SPFB, said this is the first year the food bank has partnered with Tech.

“This is our 30th annual food drive in the South Plains area, which is why we did a 30-hour drive this year instead of a 24-hour drive like we usually do,” Henderson said.

The theme for the food bank was Wreck Hunger and came from one of their workers when the food bank found out it would be working along side Tech, Henderson said.

“It’s amazing how many more donations we have gotten this year than any other year because of Tech,” Henderson said. “The first day the Lady Raider Basketball team brought two truckloads filled with 5,792 total meals in them. We couldn’t believe it.”

Lyn Garcia, the director of development for SPFB, said although this event has been going on for the past 30 years, this is only the second event hosted in Lubbock.

“We heard about another group of people hosting a 24-hour food drive is the area,” she said. “So we decided to follow them and start hosting one as well.”

Garcia said shorter food drives like the 24-hour or the 30-hour drive are usually more successful in gaining donations.

“The challenge with food drives in general is that people get fatigued with donating a lot if they go on for too long,” she said. “With food drives like this, in short bursts people are more willing to donate

because it will be over so fast.”

The drive had many wellknown community members come out to support it, Garcia said, such as several Tech football players, the Saddle Tramps, some Goin’ Band members and coach Kliff Kingsbury.

“All the local celebrities that came out really helped boost the drive and made even more people want to come to participate,” she said.

Henderson said most people don’t realize there are a lot more people struggling with hunger in this area than many think.

“One out of every six people in the South Plains area are food insecure and one out of every four children live in poverty,” Henderson said. “That’s why it’s important that we raise awareness of this issue so people can understand that it is actually an issue for their area.”

The food bank had an original goal of 3,500 pounds, Henderson said, and by the second morning they had already nearly doubled its goal.

Monica Andres, a local restau-

rant manager, said she hadn’t heard about the event going on until she showed up at Market Street to buy groceries.

“I was just going to buy a few things and I drove up and there were all these trunks being unloaded with food and people were everywhere,” Andres said. “I didn’t know what was going on so I went up and asked someone about it.”

Once someone told Andres about it, she said, she decided to come back the next day to bring a few donations of her own.

“We all have those cans of food that are sitting in our pantry that we know we will never use,” Andres said. “So I just wanted to do what I could to give back to help a good cause.”

Garcia said the community really helped in making the drive extremely successful.

“When it comes down to it, our mission is to feed people in need,” Garcia said. “So we really appreciate everyone who helped out and hope they realize how much of a difference they are making.” ➤➤lsolis@dailytoreador.com

Alabama church marks 50th anniversary of bombing BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Hundreds of people black and white, many holding hands, filled an Alabama church that was bombed by the Ku Klux Klan 50 years ago Sunday to mark the anniversary of the blast that killed four little girls and became a landmark moment in the civil rights struggle.

The Rev. Arthur Price taught the same Sunday school lesson that members of 16th Street Baptist Church heard the morning of the bombing — “A Love That Forgives.” Then, the rusty old church

bell was tolled four times as the girls’ names were read.

Bombing survivor Sarah Collins Rudolph, who lost her right eye and sister Addie Mae Collins in the blast, stood by as members laid a wreath at the spot where the dynamite device was placed along an outside wall.

Rudolph was 12 at the time, and her family left the church after the bombing. She said it was important to return in memory of her sister, who was 14, and the three other girls who died: Carole Robertson

and Cynthia Wesley Morris, both 14, and Denise McNair, 11.

“God spared me to live and tell just what happened on that day,” said Rudolph, who testified against the Klansmen convicted years later in the bombing.

Congregation members and visitors sang the old hymn “Love Lifted Me” and joined hands in prayer. The somber Sunday school lesson was followed by a raucous, packed worship service with gospel music and believers waving their hands.

2 bystanders wounded in police shooting

NEW YORK (AP) — Two police officers fired on a man who was acting erratically and dodging cars on a busy Manhattan street Saturday night, wounding two bystanders and sending people running for cover, authorities said.

Police said the man made movements suggesting he had a weapon, though he turned out to be unarmed. The officers’ shots missed him, and he was eventually brought down by a stun gun.

Authorities identified the

man as Glenn Broadnax, 35, of Brooklyn. He faces multiple counts including menacing, riot, criminal possession of a controlled substance, and resisting arrest. He was in custody, and The Associated Press couldn’t locate a phone listing for his home.

The encounter happened just before 10 p.m. near the Port Authority Bus Terminal, a block away from Times Square.

Officers saw a man on foot weaving through traffic and some-

times blocking vehicles.

“It appeared he wanted to be struck by cars,” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said at an early morning news conference.

As officers approached, police said, the man reached into his pocket as if grabbing a weapon, and two officers fired a total of three shots. The bullets struck a 54-year-old woman in the right knee and a grazed a 35-year-old woman in the buttocks, police said.

Texas Tech students raise funds with run

By ALI WILLINGHAM Staff Writer

Puddles of mud, sand hills and the undead were just a few of the obstacles provided by the inaugural Zombie Run. Texas Tech alumnus, Lorenzo Salazar said the zombies chasing him were his favorite part of the run.

“It’s an adrenaline rush,” he said.

Salazar ran with a group of co-workers and said he started the job back in June and now the run is something they can

“There are not many concerts here that I like,” Mosley said.

He said he was glad he came to the event and that he enjoyed the music performed by Eady.

“I really liked them,” Mosley said.

“I like older country music.”

Following Eady, Joe Ely came to the stage. He performed with his band as the crowd of people grew larger.

Kaylee Griesheimer, a pre-nursing major, said she went to listen to

all talk about together.

“It brought us a lot closer,” Salazar said.

Travis Welborn said he had a lot of fun.

The senior political science major from McKinney, said the race was better than he had expected.

“I gained about 40 pounds from water and mud,” Welborn said.

Volunteer Vanessa Reyna said the race went really well.

Reyna, the cousin of race fouder Ashley Reyna, said there were a lot more people than

they expected.

“It’s kind of neat,” she said.

“You see the stuff in scary movies and now you’re seeing it out here. The zombies look really scary.”

Reyna, who was one of the volunteers in charge of doing makeup for the zombies, said her favorite part was watching all the runners try to get away from the zombies.

She said it was fun seeing how the makeup turned out.

“It’s great to see,” Reyna said.

The money collected was donated to the American Cancer

Society. She said the event was for a great cause.

Reyna said they had vendor support come out, along with live DJs to keep things upbeat and alive.

“It took us about three months to put it together,” she said.

Salazar said he was excited to be a part of the race’s first year.

He said he’s looking forward to years to come, hopefully.

“I hope to do it the next year and the year after that,” Salazar said.

To prepare for the race, he

said he would run two to three times per week.

Salazar said to prepare you can start anywhere, though.

“I would run a mile or two Monday, like at the gym, and then run a mile or two Wednesday at the park,” he said Salazar said he ended the race with one flag, but was happy he had the one flag since the majority of people didn’t have any.

He said the runners would get past the zombies and the zombies would still keep chasing them.

“Having the group around helped a lot,” Salazar said.

He said some people who were good runners didn’t last the whole time.

“It was a team effort,” Salazar said. “If the team ran in a group, you could make it out alive.”

He said if others were slowing down, people would try to motivate them.

Salazar said people were falling down trying to get away from the zombies.

“Even though you didn’t know the person next to you, everyone would work to motivate each other,” he said.

some good music.

Alexis Coker, an early childhood education major, said she just wanted something fun to do. The two freshmen from San Angelo said they were enjoying their time at the event.

“We looked up the bands before we came,” Coker said, “and they seem pretty good.”

The featured guest, Ryan Bingham, was the final act of the night.

His performance was delayed because it began raining at the event, the crowd cheered as he and his band came up on the stage and performed.

Whitney Ford, an accounting

major from Abernathy, was there with her friends. The senior said she was having a great time at Kalf Fry. “We came here to see a good band,” Ford said. “We like Ryan Bingham.”

Ben Cowling, a petroleum engineering major from Lubbock, was worked at Kalf Fry. The freshman was selling actual calf fries attendees. Despite some people’s negative thoughts toward this particular type of food, Cowling said he enjoyed them.

“They’re actually very good,” Cowling said.

Cowling said he is a member of

the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and said he was excited to be at Kalf Fry, even if he was just selling food.

“Who wouldn’t want to be out here?” Cowling said.

Last years Kalf Fry raised about $11,000 for MDA, he said, and he hopes this year will outdo the previous year’s profits.

Cowling said the event was purely philanthropic.

“We don’t keep a dollar from it,” he said.

Whitney Zielinski, a special education major from Lubbock, said she had fun at Kalf Fry. The freshman said she liked it because the bands

played the kind of music she enjoys listening to.

“I loved the bands,” she said.

“They were so great.”

Zielinski said the weather was ideal for an outdoor concert and even though it rained for a while, she enjoyed being outside.

“It was nice and cool outside,” she said. “The weather was just perfect.”

There were so many people at the event, Zielinski said, and all of them were full of energy, which made the evening that much better.

“There were so many people there,” she said. “You knew a bunch

of people, so that was a lot of fun.”

Zielinski said she had never seen any of the bands perform before and Eady was a good performer. Her favorite acts of the night, though, were Ely and Bingham.

“I had heard about Joe Ely before because of my dad,” she said. “He was an amazing performer. He had so much energy up on the stage.”

Although this was her first time to hear these musicians, Zielinski said she would love to see them again.

“I would see Ryan Bingham again,” she said. “In a heartbeat.”

New York trial to examine reclusive copper heiress’ will NEW YORK (AP) — She had wealth few could boast and used it to finance a life few would choose — an heiress to the fortune of the founder of Las Vegas spending 20 years voluntarily in New York hospital rooms.

Now Huguette Clark’s reclusive existence is about to be scrutinized in a Manhattan courtroom, where jury selection is due to start Tuesday in a civil trial over her will. With

an estimated $300 million at stake, the case broaches questions about aging, caregiving and the line between encouraging gratitude and extracting gifts.

Clark’s distant relatives say hospital executives, a nurse, a lawyer, an accountant and others in her small circle induced a dependent, fragile woman to give them millions of dollars during her lifetime and in her will. The beneficiaries say she

“Fundamentally, however, this tragic story presents much more than just a question of whether a particular will is valid or not,” the relatives’ lawyer, John R. Morken, said in a court filing. The larger issue, he wrote, is whether there’s an ethical limit to what caregivers and advisers can ask for or accept — “and if there is, how can professionals and institutions be held accountable?”

The beneficiaries say it’s simply a case of bald-faced greed. And not on their part.

Remote relations who barely knew Clark “claim she should have

left her fortune to them, and not those who cared for her in the last years of her life,” lawyer Brian Corrigan, who represents Clark’s own attorney, said Friday.

Clark’s father, U.S. Sen. William A. Clark, made a Gilded Age fortune from Montana copper mines, a Utah-to-California railroad and sales of land around a whistle stop dubbed Las Vegas.

Huguette Clark owned the biggest apartment on New York’s Fifth Avenue, an oceanfront mansion in Santa Barbara, Calif., and a 52-acre estate in New Canaan, Conn.

By the time she died in 2011 at age 104, she hadn’t been to any of them for decades.

Instead, she’d paid about $400,000 a year to live in Manhattan’s Beth Israel Medical Center since 1991, according to hospital records filed in court. She stayed there long after being told she could leave following treatment for advanced skin cancer and malnutrition.

Surrounded by dolls and childhood photos, the woman who liked

to be called “madame” got assiduous care from physicians and private nurses.

It became a lucrative arrangement.

Clark’s main nurse, Hadassah Peri, was lavished with about $30 million worth of presents, including multiple Manhattan apartments and a $1.2 million Stradivarius violin, according to court filings.

Peri stands to get $30 million more if the disputed will is upheld.

Clark gave primary physician Dr. Henry Singman $500,000 or more in cash as Christmas presents, covered some of his medical expenses and paid part of his granddaughter’s college tuition. The contested will leaves him $100,000, which he plans to relinquish before testifying at the trial.

Beth Israel got hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash gifts, a multimillion-dollar painting by French pre-Impressionist Edouard Manet and a $1 million bequest.

Hospital leaders aimed for more, emails and memos show.

Within a few months of Clark’s arrival, a fundraiser was visiting her room weekly. By the next year, she’d given $145,000, but a hospital staffer wrote in a memo, “Here’s hoping we end up with even bigger bucks.”

The hospital’s then-president and even his mother urged Clark to prepare a will, though he told her he wasn’t trying to suggest a bequest.

And as the hospital prepared to sell the building Clark was in and move her to another in 2004, executives told her she could stop the sale by giving $125 million.

The hospital says its requests were appropriate.

“Having provided life-saving and compassionate care to a person of Clark’s wealth, it would have been surprising if Beth Israel had not approached her for donations,” hospital lawyer Marvin Wexler wrote in court papers.

She had no trouble saying no, and her gifts to the hospital ended three years before the contested will, Wexler added.

TIFFIN, Ohio (AP) — A fastmoving fire claimed the lives of a man and five children under the age of 7 on Sunday morning when it swept through a mobile home in northwest Ohio.

The fire was reported shortly before 8 a.m. Sunday in a mobile home park in Tiffin, about 50 miles southeast of Toledo. Firefighters got all six people out in about 12 minutes, but all were pronounced dead at a hospital, Tiffin Fire Chief William said.

Owanna Ortiz said her first cousin, Anna Angel, was the children’s

mother and lived in the home with them and the man who died. Ortiz said the family didn’t have a car and had to get around on bicycles.

“If she had to get somewhere, they had two strollers they had to take, but they made it work,” Ortiz said.

A stroller, a little pink bicycle and an adult bicycle with a bike trailer attached to the back could be seen outside the home with its charred and broken windows.

“She had a whole family and now she has nothing,” Ortiz said of her cousin.

The two oldest children were in kindergarten and first grade, Ortiz said.

“They were always happy and full of sunshine,” she said. “The older ones looked out for the younger ones.”

Her cousin was working at a fastfood restaurant at the time of the fire, Ortiz said.

Authorities would not confirm the identities or relationships of those killed or comment on a possible cause. A state fire marshal’s

investigator said there were no indications of anything suspicious and it could take up to two days before authorities know how the six died.

“We won’t release any more information until we know the cause of death,” state investigator Tim Spradlin said.

Nancy Williams, who manages the Highland Park Estates mobile home park and lives there, said she yelled to her son to call 911 and ran to the home when a neighbor alerted her to the blaze.

“I knew there were babies in there,” she said. “But once we got there, there was nothing we could do. It was fully engulfed in flames and we couldn’t get in.”

Ennis said there was heavy fire in the center of the mobile home and heavy smoke throughout the structure when firefighters arrived. Witnesses said the fire burned quickly, breaking out windows and peeling some of the trailer’s aluminum siding.

Williams’ voice broke as she described seeing rescuers bringing the children from the home.

“It’s so heartbreaking,” she said.

Another neighbor, Rick Hummell, 49, said he also went to the home to see if he could help when he saw the fire.

“I watched the babies get dragged out,” Hummell said. “It just made me sick.”

Hummell said he often saw the children outside and would give them money for ice cream.

“Every time the ice cream truck came through, we’d say, ‘Here, get yourselves something,’” Hummell said.

Hummell said the woman would often load up the trailer with the children and ride through the mobile home park.

“She was always good to her kids,” he said.

Cheryl L. Opp, who lived nearby said it was a serene Sunday morning she went to walk the dogs about a half hour before she heard them barking and looked out window to see the mobile home on fire.

She said the kids always seemed to be happy and she saw them outside often.

Cross Country treks to win in Red Raider Open

By DAWIT HAILE Staff Writer

Senior Kennedy Kithuka easily kept his record clean Friday at the Texas Tech Red Raider Open with more than a minute separation from the second-place finisher.

The next four runners finished within about a 20-second span.

There were three Red Raiders in the top five of the men’s race: Kithuka, senior Ezekiel Kissorio and sophomore Marcos Vallejo.

Kithuka completed the race in 24 minutes and nine seconds. He said this race was a slow performance for him because each mile was 10 seconds behind his usual.

Despite Kithuka not going his fastest, the senior did not have to worry about any competition. The only companion he had throughout most of the race was coach Haron Lagat in a vehicle making sure the runners were going the correct way.

“I was just running,” Kithuka said. “Relaxing. Just using my legs.”

Coach Lagat was telling Kithuka to relax as well and there was no need to kill himself, he said.

Kithuka paced himself the rest of the race once he built the lead.

The race did not begin with Kithuka in the lead. He actually came out relatively slow. Several other competitors took the lead.

He said he was not too worried early in the race.

“I just wanted to see what the rest of those guys were going to do,” he said. “So I gave it to them. But after 800 meters, I was like ‘Come on,’ and then I passed them.”

The women’s race was much more competitive, even though there were still three Lady Raiders in the top 10.

The battle between the front two, Tech junior Sharlene Nickle and Abilene Christian senior Chloe Susset, were neck and neck the majority of the race. Eventually, Nickle was able to pull away from Susset to clinch a victory.

Nickle arrived at the finish line only five seconds quicker than Susset. She won with a time of 19:05.59.

Like Kithuka, Nickle was not worried, she said.

“I wasn’t like feeling under pressure, or anything,” Nickle said. “I was working hard. I was staying the whole time with her. And, I knew (Susset) was getting tired because

of the way she was breathing, so I was confident I was going to beat her.”

Nickle looked spent down the stretch despite the confidence she had in her body’s endurance.

Nickle’s legs were giving up on her, she said. All she could do is keep on working and try to lift her legs higher.

The Red Raiders earned firstplace victories in both competitions. The Lady Raiders had an average time of 19:44.21 in their 5K race. The Red Raiders took a bit longer to finish their 8K with an average 25:59.13.

Tech coach John Murray said he was excited with Tech’s performance, especially the one by the Lady Raiders. Last year, they struggled and lost at the Red Raider Open.

“We had girls running 30 and 40 seconds faster than last year,” Murray said. “Sharlene, I know she has been training that well, so she really showed it today.”

The top three Red Raiders in the men’s race were incredible, he said. Murray is proud of Kithuka staying undefeated, but Vallejo is another runner people are going

Tech baseball hosts first practice of season, returning 20 players

By PAIGE SKINNER Managing editor

This time last year there were nine returning Texas Tech baseball players.

This year, there are 20.

The Red Raiders had their first practice of the season Friday and coach Tim Tadlock and players were excited to finally get on the field again.

“We’re really excited,” Tadlock said. “We’ve had a couple of weeks to really get into the classroom, really focus on academics and kind of get our feet on the ground in the weight room, ready to put the baseball side of it to it.”

One of those returning players is junior right-handed pitcher Dominic Moreno. He said he plans to take a cue from former Tech pitcher Trey Masek, who was drafted by the Chicago Cubs PHOTO BY BRAD TOLLEFSON/The Daily Toreador in the fifth-round of the First-Year Player Draft.

Chiefs start 2-0 after beating Cowboys 17-16 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are playing mistake-free football for the first time in years.

The result so far under Andy Reid has been winning football.

Alex Smith threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns, and the Chiefs defense held when it needed to in the fourth quarter for a 17-16 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

The Chiefs haven’t committed a turnover through the first two weeks, and that may be the biggest reason they’ve already matched their win total from all of last year.

They’re off to a 2-0 start for just the second time since 2005.

Jamaal Charles had a touchdown run for the Chiefs, who also got impassioned play from their defense for the second straight week. They’ve allowed only one touchdown through two games after forcing the Cowboys to settle for three field goals by Dan Bailey on Sunday.

The most important stop came with 3:55 left. Tony Romo threw three straight incompletions to force Bailey to hit a 53-yarder to

pull within 17-16, but the Cowboys defense couldn’t get the ball back quickly enough to have a shot at a winning drive.

Romo finished 30 of 42 for 298 yards for the Cowboys (1-1). His favorite target was Dez Bryant, who had nine catches for 141 yards and their only touchdown.

The Chiefs, coming off an uplifting win at Jacksonville, were amped for Reid’s first game as their coach at Arrowhead Stadium. A capacity crowd roared when they rolled onto the field in all-red uniforms, departing from their traditional white pants to signify the start of a new era.

They kept right on rolling, too.

Kansas City marched 77 yards on the opening series, the highlight coming when Smith scrambled 17 yards on third-and-15 and executed a Fosbury Flop over a defender for a first down. Smith capped the drive with a short TD toss to Charles.

That’s when the Romo-to-Bryant connection got on track.

Bryant outwrestled cornerback Brandon Flowers for a 53-yard catch down the Dallas sideline that helped set up Bailey’s 51-yard field goal.

Red Raiders struggle in Lonestar Showdown

By REX ROSE AND SCOTT FISHER Staff WriterS

The Texas Tech volleyball team finished the Lonestar Showdown with a 1-2 record this weekend in United Spirit Arena.

The Red Raiders struggled in their first game against Montana, getting beat by the Grizzlies in three games.

Tech ended its five-match losing slump in their next match against Nevada, sweeping the Wolf Pack in three straight sets.

Tech coach Don Flora was satisfied with the win and was glad to have junior outside hitter Breeann David back in the lineup.

“It was a good performance tonight from a team standpoint,” he said. “It was good to have Bree back, and I thought (Emily) Ruetter distributed it well.

It was an important hump for us to get over.”

The Red Raiders could not keep their winning streak going, however, after falling in their Saturday finale match to California State Fullerton in three sets.

The loss to Fullerton dropped the Red Raiders to 1-2 on the tournament and 6-7 overall.

The team finished third place in the four-team tournament field behind Montana and Cal State.

Flora credits Fullerton for the win, saying the team put Tech in a hole it could not recover from.

“It was one of those matches where we couldn’t get rolling after that first set,” he said. “Fullerton did a nice job rallying and putting us in a hole. We never came back from that, which was disappointing. We’ll continue to grow and learn from this.”

Senior outside hitter Aubree Piper was Tech’s lone selection to the all-tournament team and said she knows what the team needs to improve on.

“In our first game, we didn’t block very well and that’s not normal for us,” she said. “I think focusing on blocking and our overall energy in the gym, we need to bring more energy.

That’s when we play the best when we are excited for every point. No matter how small the point may seem, when we’re excited we play better and that’s

something we can learn from this weekend.”

Junior defensive specialist Rachel Brummitt recorded more than 20 digs in five straight matches for the Red Raiders.

She said the tournament provided a good practice opportunity to get a lot of different players in the game.

“As a team, we are getting a lot of different players in and it’s just like practice for us,” she said. “I think learning to mesh well with different people on the court is something we can take away from the tournament.”

Flora said the tournament would be used as a good teaching point for younger players on the team.

“There’s a couple matches where you think you should be in those matches a little bit more in depth late in games and I think that’s a little bit of learning,” he said. “How do we go about competing when the points matter the most and that’s an important part of the learning process for our youngsters.”

DeAndre Hopkins gives Texans win over Titans, 30-24 HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans drafted DeAndre Hopkins to take pressure off star receiver Andre Johnson.

Hopkins delivered, grabbing a 3-yard touchdown reception in overtime to lift Houston to a 3024 win over Tennessee on Sunday.

With Johnson out after being shaken up in the fourth quarter, Hopkins reached above Jason McCourty and pulled in the pass from Matt Schaub to give Houston the victory.

The Texans (2-0) needed a franchise-record 21-point comeback to win their opener at San Diego 31-28.

On Sunday, they charged back from an eight-point, fourth-quarter

deficit against the Titans (1-1).

Arian Foster’s 1-yard touchdown and 2-point conversion tied it at 24-24 with less than two minutes left.

Houston forced a punt and got within field goal range after that.

But Randy Bullock’s 46-yard field goal attempt bounced off the left upright to force overtime. It was his third miss of the day.

Hopkins, a first-round pick, finished with seven receptions for 117 yards. Schaub threw for 298 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.

Jake Locker threw for 148 yards and two touchdowns and Chris Johnson ran for 96 yards for Tennessee.

Houston’s Brian Cushing had 11 tackles and two sacks and J.J. Watt added a pair of sacks.

Johnson got the Texans to the 2-yard line with a 21-yard catch to set up Foster’s score. The play was first ruled an incomplete pass, but coach Gary Kubiak challenged and the call was overturned.

Johnson was shaken up on the play after a hit by Bernard Pollard and did not return.

The Titans took a one-point lead with a 10-yard touchdown grab by Delanie Walker, and extended their advantage to 2416 when Alterraun Verner returned an interception 23 yards for a touchdown on Houston’s next drive.

A poor offensive series by the Titans ended with a safety by Houston to push the lead to 16-10 early in the fourth quarter.

The Titans had penalties for a personal foul, holding and delay of game to back them up to their 2.

On the next play, Chris Johnson carried to ball and it was spotted just outside the end zone. But Kubiak challenged the call and the ruling was reversed to give the Texans a safety. It was the second one for Tennessee in as many weeks.

Houston took the lead when Owen Daniels stretched out to grab a 12-yard touchdown reception near the back of the end zone to make it 14-10 in the third quarter.

The Texans got a boost on that drive when Schaub completed an 11-yard pass to Hopkins and was knocked in the helmet by Ropati Pitoitua to add a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty onto the play.

Then the Texans’ defense went to work. Watt sacked Locker on first down for a 7-yard loss and the Titans soon had to punt.

The Texans wasted no time getting going, scoring on their fifth play of the game when Schaub found Garrett Graham on a 1-yard pass. A career-long 60-yard run

by Ben Tate got Houston to the 6-yard line.

Tate got a couple extra yards out of the nifty run when he stiffarmed a defender a darted away.

But that drive was one of the few offensive bright spots on Sunday until overtime.

Tennessee tied it when Locker connected with Kendall Wright on a 6-yard touchdown. The Titans received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for the choreographed dance that Wright, Johnson and Britt did after the score.

Houston’s offense struggled on Sunday after its opening drive, and Bullock missed 50-yard field goals in the first and second quarters.

Pollard intercepted Schaub near the end of the first half, and Rob Bironas — who had missed from 48 earlier in the second quarter — made a 47-yard try to put Tennessee up 10-7 at halftime.
