Former Tech professor killed in shooting Professor taught at Tech for six years

By AMY CUNNINGHAM AND KRISTEN BARTON the Daily toreaDor

On Monday, a shooting took place at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi, where a professor was killed in his office.

That professor was a former Red Raider.

Ethan A. Schmidt, the professor who was killed, taught at Texas Tech for six years. He was an assistant professor of American history at Delta State, according to his Delta State faculty biography, and won a President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2011 at Tech.

Shannon Lamb has been identified as the suspect in the shooting, according to the Associated Press, and police do not know the mo-

tive behind the shooting.

Lamb was a professor at Delta State since 2009. He taught geography and education classes.

Lamb is also a suspect in the killing of a woman in Gautier, Mississippi, which is about 300 miles away from Delta State, according to the AP article.

Schmidt had recently published a new book, “Native Americans in the American Revolution: How the War Divided, Devastated and Transformed the American Indian World,” according to his faculty bio.

Schmidt earned his doctoral degree at the University of Kansas in 2007 before teaching for six years at Tech.

COURTESY OF ETHAN SCHMIDT’S DELTA STATE FACULTY BIOGRAPHY

Ethan A. Schmidt, assistant professor of American history at Delta State University and former Texas Tech professor, was killed in a shooting at Delta State on Monday. Schmidt taught at Tech for six years.

Although Ethan Schmidt left his position at Texas Tech in 2013, the former history professor’s impact on colleagues and students remains.

Schmidt was shot and killed Monday morning in his office at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi, according to the Associated Press, where he was an associate professor of history.

Sean Cunningham, associate professor and chair of the Tech history department, said Schmidt was a passionate educator whose death has deeply affected those who knew him.

“The same energy and

passion and enthusiasm that he brought to the classroom, he brought to just about every area of his life,” Cunningham said. “He was a lot of fun to be around.”

Robert Weaver, archivist in the Southwest Collections Library, said Schmidt was on the chair of his thesis committee in 2011 and served as an adviser for graduate history students.

Schmidt helped Weaver obtain his current position at Tech, Weaver said, and motivated him to pursue a doctoral degree in history.

About a year ago, Weaver told his former adviser what a difference he made in his life and career.

GOIN’ BAND

No bad blood between Tech, UT about band tickets

By EASTON WOLLNEY Staff Writer

Texas Tech’s Goin’ Band from Raiderland will pay $100 per ticket for band members to perform at the Tech versus University of Texas game taking place at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 26.

Sarah McKoin, director of the Goin’ Band, said it is not unusual for schools to charge their opponent’s bands for tickets to the game, and the decision was made at the beginning of the summer between the schools.

“In May, we did not think we were paying for tickets,” McKoin said, “and in July we found out that we were, so fortunately the (College of Visual and Performing Arts) and president’s office and athletics all contributed to come up with a solution this year.”

McKoin said the University of Texas, Tech, Baylor University and Texas Christian University previously had a ticket reciprocity agreement before this year, so the schools’ bands did not have to pay for tickets to the game in the past.

“We are all going to the UT game thanks to support from the president’s office,” McKoin said.

The College of Visual and Performing Arts, the Office of the President and Tech Athletics came together to find a short-term solution, McKoin said, but they have to find a long term solution so the band will be able to attend the games in the future.

“Financially, everybody put a piece toward covering that gap,” McKoin said.

Enrique Mendez, a senior electrical engineering major from Baytown and member of the band since his freshman year, said the band was worried when hearing they had to pay for tickets to the game.

The band did not go to the TCU game last year, Mendez said, because they charged Tech for tickets and the band did not have the funds.

Mendez said the university has been supportive in helping the band be able to attend the game against the Longhorns.

Professor takes career Front seven not backing from stage to classroom down against Arkansas

By RYAN ORTEGON

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY

Dean Nolen, assistant professor of acting and head of the acting and directing program for the School of Theatre and Dance, had a prominent career before he began teaching.

Nolen was a member of the original cast of the hit Broadway musical “Mamma Mia.” He was called to audition for the role of Harry Bright, he said, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to go for it.

“They kept saying the people at ‘Mamma Mia’ would like to see you audition, so I said OK,” Nolen said. “I went in, I auditioned and it seemed by the end of that week I was at a final callback with all

On Saturday in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the front seven of the Texas Tech football team will face what could be the toughest challenge of the entire season.

Tech’s biggest weakness last season was stopping the run. Countering that, Arkansas’ biggest strength is running the ball right at the defense.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said the team does not need to be reminded of what happened last year as it tries to be more prepared for Arkansas this time around.

the South Plains SPCA, Refuge Services and Morris Safe House.

Eric Strong, the director for Roots Historical Arts Council, said the organization wants to bring tourists to Lubbock for arts and entertainment and needs volunteers for the Caprock Jazz Festival on Saturday.

“It’s kind of a spiritual jazz festival,” Strong said.

“It’s going to be good.”

The festival will include a 96th birthday party for J.T. Braxton, father of Tom Braxton, an artist playing at the festival. It will also include a scholarship contest where students are able to win $2,000 and a pancakes and praise breakfast, which will be a testimonial.

Students interested in volunteering can contact Strong by phone or email, he said, and are able to attend the festival for free. All proceeds go to Caviel’s museum, which is the first AfricanAmerican history museum in West Texas.

The South Plains SPCA was at the event looking for volunteers for their event this Saturday called Cars for Canines, Cheri Dudley, a volunteer with

the SPCA, said. The event will include a car show, a Frisbee contest and an adoption parade, according to the flier.

Quynh Le, a freshman studying pre-med from Austin, filled out a volunteer application at the event for the SPCA and said she also signed up for Red Cross and The Children’s Home of Lubbock.

“I like to get really involved and make the most out of my college experience,” Le said. “Plus it looks really good on resumes.”

Le said she loves dogs and is going to do as much as she can for the organization.

Stephanie Longmire was at the event representing Refuge Services, which she said offers horse-assisted therapy to people ranging from ages 3 to 90, and includes people with learning disabilities and veterans.

Longmire said Refuge has several occupational and physical therapy students from Tech complete their required observation hours at the organization.

Refuge is hosting a horse show Saturday, Longmire said, and each volunteer may be assigned one horse to take

Hope Coles, a freshman special education major from Frisco, said she enjoys volunteer work and wants to get involved with an animal adoption organization.

She volunteered for her local SPCA in high school,

“I love dogs and love being able to nurture them back to health,” Coles said.

Sallie Morris, the founder of Morris Safe House, a nonprofit animal shelter, was at the event. She said dogs relieve stress and the shelter has several student volunteers.

“It’s so exciting for us that

people want to come over and love our dogs,” Morris said.

The purpose of the fair is for organizations to recruit new members, connect with people who share similar interests, become involved and make a lasting impact on the community, according to the Tech website.

anything like this on TV when you have no idea who the victim is,” Cunningham said. “When you know the individual and you know his wife and his little kids and you worked with him closely, it’s hard to describe. It’s been very, very difficult.”

Cunningham and Schmidt worked right next door to each other when they both came to Tech in 2007, he said. Cunningham knew Schmidt’s wife and kids. When Schmidt trans-

ferred from Tech to Delta State, Cunningham said, it was hard to see him leave.

“It’s been a terrible day and a tremendous loss for Delta State I’m sure and for us here at Texas Tech,” he said. “It’s certainly a loss for his wife and three children.”

Schmidt was a personable, enthusiastic and passionate teacher, Cunningham said. As a professor, Schmidt was nominated for several teaching awards.

Cunningham said Schmidt was also a tremendous

colleague and everything someone could ask him to be in that position.

As far as a memorial or other type of commemorative ceremony, Cunningham said he has had preliminary conversations with administrators but nothing has been established.

Cunningham said he does not know what Schmidt’s relationship with other professors at Delta State was like, but based on Facebook, he could tell Schmidt was happy there.

Even though Schmidt was known for his academic talent and achievements, Cunningham said Schmidt will be remembered for his love of family.

“I will remember the love he had for his kids.

He was an outstanding father, a very engaged f a t h e r, a v e r y l o v i n g husband. He had a very blessed family,” he said.

Schmidt, who earned his doctoral degree from the University of Kansas in 2007, was an avid fan of the Jayhawks, Weaver said.

Even though Schmidt was a Kansas fan, Weaver said, Schmidt loved the Red Raiders and his students.

The last time Cunningham saw Schmidt was at a local pizza restaurant in March, Cunningham said, during the NCAA basketball tournament.

“He and his entire family were decked in blue and red Jayhawk gear,” he said. “That’s probably an appropriate last memory of him because he had that passion, and he was with his family.”

RISE office provides support for students

BY DAVID GAY Staff Writer

In April, the Texas Tech administration came up with the plan to have an office to help students with topics that would make their lives on campus better. That plan turned into the Risk Intervention and Safety Education Office.

RISE is an office for all students, faculty and staff to come in and talk about topics such as alcohol and other drugs, relationships, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues and many other topics, Prevention Specialist Caitlin Graves said.

Before the office was established, many of the topics were addressed in some shape or form around the campus, Prevention Specialist Anneliese Bustillo said. The RISE Office has become the central hub to pull all of these topics together.

“Bringing them all together in a central hub brings a con-

centrated effort and one central message across the university,” Graves said.

Other campuses around the U.S. already had this type of office, RISE Director Kimberly Simón said, and the Tech campus was lagging behind in that regard.

The RISE Office does behind-the-scenes work such as workshops and trainings, Simón said. Representatives also go to the Raider Ready classes to let first-year students know what services the office provides.

To reach out to other students on campus, Bustillo said the RISE Office has also expanded its social media presence.

Even with the RISE Office just opening, there have been more and more students from all walks of life coming to the events, she said.

“What sets our office apart and why we are growing so fast is that we make it a focus to

build relationships,” Bustillo said. “When we have an event, we make sure that we talk to every student there. We make sure that we tell them what events are coming next.”

The RISE Office has a relationship with the LGBTQ community, Simón said, and one of the goals of the office is to make it a safe place for those students to come in and ask questions.

There are other goals the RISE Office has for Tech, Graves said, and the office wants to reduce the risks students have on campus.

“We want to reduce the rates of violence, the injuries related to alcohol and drug use,” she said, “and reduce relationship and sexual violence on campus.”

Tech students do not always know these kinds of resources are available on campus, Bustillo said.

“I would like Tech students to clearly know the resources that are available to them,” she

said. “That’s a big thing that we are combating right now.

We want to get that message out there.”

The RISE program also has bigger aspirations, Bustillo said.

“I would love to see Tech seen on a national level as a university that is innovative and is creative in their programming for preventative education,” she said. “There

are lots of universities that are doing this very well, like the Ohio State University and the University of Texas.”

These universities created their own prevention programs instead of outsourcing the programs to other companies, Bustillo said. The RISE program wants the future programming to be specific to Tech, not just a general college campus.

The main purpose of the RISE Office is to supplement what students learn in the classroom, Simón said. The office wants to help students take care of all the other stuff that is important about being a college student, not just academics.

“Classes are preparing you academically,” she said, “and we are here to prepare you personally.” @DavidGayDT

Alumnus produces sports documentary

BY SARAH CUMMING Staff Writer

Jason Baumgardner knew two things were certain when he was growing up: he loved movies and he was going to be a Red Raider.

“I’ve always wanted to get into film,” Baumgardner said.

“As a kid I remember going to the movies all the time.”

Baumgardner’s interest in film production started at a young age, he said, and it has been the driving force in his life.

When he was a senior applying to college, he attended a meeting for the University of Southern California to learn more about its film production program, but in his heart, Baumgardner said, he knew he would end up at Texas Tech.

“I’m a third-generation Red Raider,” he said. “I knew I was going to Tech no matter what.”

Baumgardner, a class of 2001 alumnus from Amarillo, graduated from Tech with a computer science degree, but said his passion for film remained.

NOLEN

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 He said he discovered from his professor and friend Trish McAdams that theater could be his profession.

After his college days, Nolen moved to Dallas to pursue his dream, he said. He did regional theater in Dallas until he landed a role in a production of “The Glass Menagerie” in a theater in Jacksonville, Mississippi. Nolen said he received his equity card for that show.

Being on Broadway was an incredible experience, Nolen said, and he had so many memories that will live with him forever.

“I think the night Colin Powell, secretary of state at the time, was there,” Nolen said.

“At the end of the show the audience usually got up and ran down the aisle to the front of the stage and shook their tail feathers and danced with us while we were doing the final number, which is Waterloo, and sure enough secretary

“I thought I could do special effects with my degree,” he said.

“I always had filmmaking on the back burner.”

His experience at Tech also led him to develop a new passion for fantasy sports, he said.

“I’ve been in a fantasy league with a group of guys from Tech for 15 years, called the 23rd Street Football League,” Baumgardner said.

Baumgardner said his first league gave him the taste of the fantasy sports community, which sparked an interest that would lead him to create his first web series, “The League,” all on his own.

“I’m in a mode where I just want to keep moving on to the next project,” Baumgardner said.

His new project, “The Perfect Lineup,” a documentary about daily fantasy sports, merges his passion for filmmaking and fantasy sports.

Baumgardner said the film is set to premiere in November at the DFS Players Conference in New York City.

“Seeing how big (daily fan-

tasy sports) was getting last year, I thought I would like to tell the story of its explosive growth,” Baumgardner said.

Daily fantasy sports follow the same concept of seasonlong fantasy sports, he said, but compress it into a daily or weekly game. “‘The Perfect Lineup’ focuses on the niche community of daily fantasy sports, the rise in the industry and how it is changing people’s lives,” Baumgardner said.

The film features three personal stories: Dan Back, who started the first daily fantasy sports podcast on RotoGrinders in 2011 and now co-hosts the daily RotoGrinders show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio; Scott Hanson and his wife Danielle Hanson, who took home $2 million at the FanDuel Fantasy Football Championships in Las Vegas last year; and Tom Frisina and his two sons, Tom and Bryan Frisina, who created Fantasy Aces, a new daily fantasy sports website.

of state, dignified secretary of state Colin Powell, shot down the aisle and shook his tail feathers with Karen Mason and I and it was exquisite.”

Nolen did not end his career after leaving Broadway, but took his career off the stage and onto the camera. Nolen said he acted in the TV show “Mercy” and has taken guest star roles in “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: SVU,” an episode of “Criminal Intent” and a number of other roles.

After Nolen was through with big acting jobs, he decided to come to Tech and teach, he said. Mark Charney, director of the College of Theatre and Dance, inspired him to come teach at Tech.

Nolen said he saw Charney as a true visionary who was excited about theater and was determined to move the program forward.

“Once I met the faculty, I really got excited about teaching here, and then I met the students,” Nolen said. “I worked with them in a classroom situation and I was convinced that

they really wanted to learn.”

Mathew Cubillos, a student in Nolen’s principles of acting one class, said Nolen is a great teacher and mentor.

“For being a freshman here at Texas Tech, it is really nice to know that you have someone like Dean Nolen as a professor,” Cubillos said. “I’ve already learned so much, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Nolen recently traveled to New York to watch the final Broadway performance of “Mamma Mia” as the show closed on Broadway on Saturday.

“Mamma Mia” closed on Broadway after 5,773 performances in 14 years, according to a New York Times article from Thursday, and is the eighth longest running musical in Broadway history behind musicals like “Rent.”

“Not only is his (Nolen’s) acting background impressive,” Cubillos said, “but the way he teaches class you can tell he has a true passion for the art and that you are in good hands.” @DailyToreador

James Bowers, a freshman communication studies major from Bellaire, began playing season long fantasy sports his freshman year in high school.

“Fantasy baseball makes you pay attention to the players and the teams,” Bowers said. “You have to analyze your players and lineup every single day. It’s hard to keep up with.”

Bowers has also participated in season-long fantasy football leagues, which he said are easier to manage than fantasy baseball.

“Football games are only once a week and teams only have one bye week,” Bowers said, “but baseball teams have multiple off days that often overlap with other teams.”

After learning more about daily fantasy sports, Bowers said he would be interested in participating in a daily fantasy football tournament.

“It sounds like a fun way to win money so I can pay for my tuition,” Bowers said.

Fantasy sports are similar to investing in stocks, he

said, and the higher risk, the higher reward.

Griffyn Ruiz, a freshman business marketing major from Lubbock, is familiar with the rewards from investing big bucks in fantasy football.

“My family friend Ryan Streetman won $8,000 from an annual fantasy football league,” Ruiz said.

Streetman and his friends set a $5,000 buy-in to play in the league, Ruiz said, and the league hosts weekly mandatory meetings to discuss trades, strategies and everything fantasy football.

“It’s crazy how much they invest their lives and money in fantasy football,” Ruiz said. “They are committed and extremely dedicated to their teams and love for football.”

Daily fantasy sports offer participants with a platform to generate quick cash, Baumgardner said, but it is more about fun and excitement rather than the money.

“At the end of the day, daily fantasy sports are about enter-

tainment,” Baumgardner said.

“It’s like spending $10 to see a movie for a couple of hours that may be good or bad, or putting $10 into a daily fantasy sports tournament and watch five hours of football and enjoy all of it whether you win or lose.”

Although Baumgardner left Tech without a degree in film production, he kept his dream alive by continuing to pursue his interest, he said “Your degree helps you, but it doesn’t limit you,” Baumgardner said. “If you do what you love you’ll never work a day in your life. Just keep going after what you enjoy no matter what.”

Baumgardner said he made a Kickstarter campaign, which is an online fundraising platform, for the “The Perfect Lineup” to help with the postfilm production. The deadline is Thursday.

“I’d love Tech to rally around the film because we still have a long ways to go to meet our goal,” Baumgardner said. @DailyToreador

Home football games still face hydration problems

I

was bit a let down to find out that the source of my piercing headaches, propensity to fall asleep when at rest for 15 minutes or more and just general aching was nothing more than dehydration.

After the football game last Saturday, I, like many of the game’s attendees, found myself sticky with sweat and as parched as John the Baptist during his stint in the wilderness.

At first kickoff, my guns were up, my tortillas soaring and my voice full of excitement along with the rest of the crowd. However, once we made it to halftime, everyone was a little less peppy and a little more tempted to sit down in the bleachers.

In a matter of a few hours, our water supply had been sweat out and our skin was being slowly scorched by that relentless West Texas sun. According to a Sept. 12 Lubbock Avalanche-Journal article, paramedics received 56 patient calls during the game, the majority from dehydration issues.

For the rest of the tired

students, I am sure we could have made it through those long three hours with minimal damage if we had been just a little bit more hydrated. The only problem was that a single bottle of Dasani water in the Jones AT&T Stadium costs about as much as a meal from Chick-fil-A. Sure, people may have been overcharged for bottled water since the beginning of time, but from the beginning of time college students have also been broke. Super broke. With all of the things college students have to pay for, I am not sure a sip or two of water is the best use of our precious pennies.

In a National Geographic article titled, “The Dangers of Dehydration,” the author writes that even if we were to be “sitting quietly in a shelter in the Arctic cold,

[we] must drink at least 2.3 liters — more than half a gallon — each day to replace the water” we would lose.

That’s not even how much water we would need after having been cheering on our boys in red and black for an hour and a half.

By the time last week’s game was over, most of us had either spent the majority of our cash on hydration or the majority of the game in line at the water fountains. This issue got so bad, the majority of us in the student section left at halftime in search of free refills and air conditioning.

If you are wondering whether or not you were experiencing any of the effects of dehydration, the same National Geographic article explains, “Losing up to five percent of body fluids causes thirst, weakness, nausea and irritability.”

In addition, the author warns against consuming alcohol while out in extreme heat (like the 102-degree day that Weather.com reported last Saturday) as it will serve as a dehydration catalyst. So,

everyone who tailgated before the game was at an even greater risk of experiencing severe dehydration.

The problem with the water sales in Jones AT&T Stadium is not that water is too costly. Rather, it is that their cost could prohibit safe practices and disturb the health of rapidly overheating, loyal Red Raider fans.

While Texas Tech, I’m sure, makes a great profit from these water sales, there must be better, safer ways to make a profit. The Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration is supposedly one of the best business colleges in the nation, so I am sure we have plenty of brilliant business majors that can help figure this out.

Several large corporations like United Airlines, for example, have implemented a system to provide their employees and executives with reusable, carbon neutral, ecologically friendly water bottles that can be replenished at refill stations scattered throughout their headquarters in Chicago.

Now, I am aware that

COLUMN

because of how hot the last game was, attendees are now allowed to bring empty water bottles from home, as said in a Sept. 11 Lubbock A-J article. However, they can only fill them up at the water fountains. The vendors will not fill them up without charging full price, which essentially defeats the purpose — unless you just want to save the world’s landfills from storing another plastic bottle.

While it is great that we have this option, there just are not enough water fountains for it to be the final solution.

We need a system that will seriously encourage our fellow Red Raider fans to bring a bottle or tumbler from home. Stronger advertisement to BYOB (“bring your own bottle”) and adding more refill stations/water fountains inside the stadium would help to ensure such an idea even has a chance at succeeding.

While it would be a large undertaking to fix a problem that has already been temporarily addressed, if

Texas Tech were to adopt a program similar to the one United Airlines has implemented we could potentially eliminate the problem that deters so many from attending football games, concerts and amusement parks: overpriced concessions.

On top of that, they would be increasing audience turnout and contributing to the longevity and sustainability of our planet instead of contributing to its disintegration.

Even if we were to find a way to get vending machines into the stadium, we would be heading toward a better game day experience. If the vending machine prices were lower than concession prices, the prices of the actual vendors would have to drop to stay competitive.

Regardless of what the solution is, it is essential we find a way to make it through these hot games (even though, I admit, this past Saturday was gorgeous) without having to call any more ambulances. opinions@dailytoreador.com

Drake curse leading sports teams to failure Anti-rape nail polish strong step forward

T

here is no question that Drake has been the hottest rapper in the rap game for the past few years. His artistic talent shot him to stardom in late 2009 with the release of his EP, “So Far Gone,” and ever since then he has been topping the charts, making hit albums and winning Grammys.

Even Kanye West, in a July 2014 GQ article, named Drake the hottest rapper.

Drake may have the rap game in a chokehold, but his luck with sporting games is an entirely different story. In fact, after following the loss of several teams he supported, some have named his luck the “curse of Drake.”

“305 To My City,” one of the songs off Drake’s third album, “Nothing Was The Same,” is an ode to his hometown. Drake hails from “The Six” (or the city of Toronto, as many people might know it) and he loves Canada so much that he even served as a brand ambassador for the Toronto Raptors.

There’s nothing wrong with supporting one’s own home team, but according to an article on E! Online, Drake took it a little too far when he told Oklahoma City Thunder player Kevin Durant to come play for his hometown. According to the article, Drake said, “Before we leave, I just want

Jayda Ward is a sophomore public relations major from Houston.

to show one of my brothers something. You know, my brother Kevin Durant was kind enough to come to the show tonight and watch us.

I just want him to see what would happen if he came to play in Toronto. Let him know what would happen.”

Of course, Drake was probably just supporting and showing love to his home team, but the NBA didn’t take it that way.

According to an ESPN article by Marc Stein, the NBA accused the Toronto Raptors of tampering due to Drake’s direct relationship with the team and fined them $25,000. The NBA said if the team was to cut all ties with Drake the fines would be lifted and the Raptors refused.

Things didn’t get better after that, as the Raptors ending up losing in the first round of the 2014-15 NBA playoffs to the Washington Wizards, according to USA Today’s article, “Wizards demolish Raptors in Game 4 to finish sweep.”

While Drake loves his home team, he is also a big fan of the University of Kentucky basketball team.

When an A-list celebrity like Drake expresses love for a certain team, it doesn’t take long for the team to extend an invitation. In the blink of an eye, Drake was practicing his free throws with the Kentucky basketball team during practice. Drake had front row seats to their game against Wisconsin in the Final Four and even bet $6,000 that his team would win. After an undefeated season, Kentucky lost to Wisconsin. The alleged Drake curse struck again.

The most devastating alleged Drake curse is also the most recent. Serena William’s lost to Roberta Vinci in the U.S Open last Friday, with Drake in the stands.

Serena Williams is arguably the best player and server in women’s tennis history with the track record to prove it. She has won 56 singles championships, 22 doubles championships and also was a gold medalist at the 2000, 2008 and 2012 Olympics, according to her website.

She is also the only tennis player — female or male — to have won singles titles at least six times in three of the four Grand Slam tournaments.

According to a Complex article titled, “A History of Drake and Williams’ Relationship,” Drake and Serena have been spotted several times together within the last few months, but

this isn’t the first time the two have been linked together romantically. The two were rumored to be romantically involved back in 2011, but for unknown reasons they went their separate ways and reconnected in 2015.

To be fair, Drake has been to matches before where Serena has won. For example, various pictures from last month show Drake cheering her on in her Wimbledon win. The curse didn’t seem to affect her during that match, but it may have caught up to her during the U.S. Open.

L o o k i n g a t S e r e n a ’s track record, defeating Vinci should have been a no brainer. Drake was in the stands cheering his woman on and showing his support. The curse of “The Six God” struck yet again, and hit its hardest when Serena lost the last week.

It took people no time to get on social media and blame Serena’s shocking loss on “The Six God.” Multiple entertainment outlets even had their say on the topic. While Serena doesn’t have any matches until October, eager Drake fans laugh at the jokes as they patiently await his fourth studio album, “Views From the 6,” that is set to release in late September. opinions@dailytoreador.com

Clinton vows to fight campus sexual assault

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton pledged Monday that she will address sexual assault on campuses if she becomes president and voiced solidarity with victims, saying, “You have the right to be believed.”

Speaking to more than 500 people at the University of Northern Iowa, the Democratic presidential candidate said she will offer a comprehensive approach to campus sexual assaults. This means support to survivors, a disciplinary or legal process fair to all and more steps to prevent assaults from happening, she said.

She gave few specifics.

Her campaign said that in one example, she would work to establish sexualviolence prevention education programs earlier, in secondary school “where norms begin to set in.”

“Today I want to send a message to every survivor of sexual assault,” Clinton said. “Don’t let anyone silence your voice. You have the right to be heard. You have the right to be believed and we’re with you.”

Clinton said she would build on President Barack Obama’s efforts to curb sexual assaults at collages.

Those steps include releasing the names of colleges and universities facing Title IX investigations for their

handling of such cases.

Clinton had two events scheduled in Iowa on Monday, both billed as “Women for Hillary” organizing meetings. The campaign has released a list of women — many in elected office or key Democratic positions — who are backing Clinton in all 99 counties in the leadoff caucus state.

Since entering the race, Clinton has made an economic pitch to women, focusing on issues like pay equity, family leave and child care, putting a more conspicuous focus on female voters than in her 2008 campaign.

During her remarks, Clinton argued that provid-

ing equal pay and affordable child care were important economic issues. To Republican accusations that she’s pandering to women, she said: “If supporting women’s health and supporting women’s rights is playing the gender card, deal me in.” Clinton said Republican calls to cut off taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood are “dead wrong for 21st century America.”

Clinton’s stop in Cedar Falls drew a mix of students and older supporters. Appearing on a college campus gave Clinton a chance to pitch to younger voters, who have been very supportive of her main rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

K

eeping students safe should be one of the top priorities on all university campuses. As students, we crave the college experience, which includes football games, all-night study sessions and weekends out with friends to relax after a long week of school. However, it’s no secret that some weekends don’t turn out the way one expects them to.

There are some people in the world who go out to have a good time with whoever and whenever they want, whether that other person is interested or not. Even though rape and sexual assault are illegal, they are crimes that occur too frequently on college campuses. According to a Bureau of Justice Statistics 2010 report, women are more likely to become victims of sexual assault or rape. According to the report, there were four times as many female victims than male victims in 2010.

There are many ways to get help and support after experiencing something as catastrophic as rape, and that is a good tool to have in today’s world. It is great that there are people who want to help others.

However, it would be ideal to catch the perpetrator before any harm came to the victim. A group of students from North Carolina State University had this same thought and decided to do something about it.

According to a Newsweek article called, “Controversy Over Student Nail Varnish Date Rape Drug Detector”

by Natalie Ilsley, in 2014 a nail polish was invented that detects common date rape drugs by the changing of colors. Some organizations don’t agree with the use of this nail polish though, because they believe it plays into the rape culture of society today.

The nail polish works by being applied to the fingernails before a party or event. If one’s drink has been spiked, if they dip their fingernails into their cup, the nail polish will change colors. The polish detects such drugs as Rohypnol, Xanax and GHB. It seems like something

a group of girls would come up with, but in fact it was a group of four guys. Ankesh Madan, Stephen Gray, Tasso Von Windheim and Tyler Confrey-Maloney are the creators of this product.

According to the article, the boys said they have each known someone who has been the victim of an assault or rape, and so this issue hits close to home with them. In Ilsley’s article, the boys claim their product is meant to empower women with the knowledge of what’s in their drinks. Instead of focusing on helping women after this “terrible experience” they wanted to make “preventive solutions”.

Katie Russell from Rape Crisis England and Wales doesn’t agree with the intentions of the group’s nail polish drug detector. According to the article, she believes this leaves room for women to believe the assault was their fault and they are responsible for preventing it.

Her concerns may have some merit, but the polish isn’t meant to make women feel that they’re purposely attracting the sort of people who would take advantage of them.

Bad things can happen to anyone. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are or what you’re wearing.

The polish is merely a tool used to give women a little edge when facing these problems when they’re out.

Just like pepper spray or a Taser, the polish is to help prevent someone doing something the victim doesn’t want to happen.

The group of boys posted on their Facebook profile page that they hope the selling of the nail polish will instill fear into any perpetrators. Someone who actively tampers with someone else’s drinks will probably think twice about it if they know there’s a possibility of being caught. opinions@dailytoreador.com

Mayweather’s 49-0 record hurts boxing W

hen Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao met at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, boxing fans expected to see a spectacle worth the $90 pay-per-view price. In the weeks leading up the fight, the American public split its opinion on who would leave as the victor of the fight. Even individuals who never saw a boxing match willingly gave their opinions on who they thought fit the bill of the best boxer.

People scrambled to find friends, family members, coworkers or acquaintances willing to attend a viewing party and donate a fee to pay for the extravagant fight. So much hype surrounded the fight that I didn’t care how I watched the fight. After every online resource failed to stream the

FOOTBALL

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 The five starting offensive linemen in the first two games of the season weigh a total of 1,639 pounds, an average of 328 pounds per player. Four of the five stand at 6’5’’ or taller, including junior right tackle Dan Skipper at 6’10,’’ according to the Arkansas Athletics website.

Senior middle linebacker Micah Awe said the front seven are not intimidated by the size of the offensive line, and they are actually excited about it.

“I’m glad Arkansas has the biggest O-line man in the country,” he said.

“That’s just a testament to

fight, I settled on watching the fight through my phone’s screen as my dad FaceTimed with me.

At the end of the hyped bout, Mayweather beat out an injured Pacquiao to move to a 48-0 record. Shortly after winning his overly-hyped fight against Pacquiao, Mayweather announced a Sept. 12 bout versus a relatively unknown Andre Berto as his last fight.

Compared to the fight against Pacquiao, no one seemed to care about Mayweather’s possible 49-0 record.

ESPN barely covered the week

leading up the fight, and everyone expected Mayweather to cruise to a win as he skipped along the ring, throwing out a few jabs at his opponent whenever he felt like it.

Mayweather did just that.

Unlike the Pacquiao fight, Mayweather’s championship and perfect record didn’t run much danger. Berto, who lost three consecutive fights prior to facing Mayweather, landed just 83 punches to Mayweather’s 232, according to an ESPN article.

Boxing fans knew Mayweather didn’t pick to fight Berto because he posed the biggest challenge before his retirement, Mayweather chose to fight Berto because he felt comfortable enough to win the fight and match boxing legend Rocky Marciano’s 49-0 mark.

Instead of waiting to fight

a Pacquiao without a shoulder injury, Mayweather chose the easier option. Mayweather’s picks have not all gone to the caliber of Pacquiao, which hurts boxing. Fans want to see a fight where the fighters match each other round for round and push themselves to their physical limits to overcome their opponent.

As brutish as this appears, the physical, mental and sometimes spiritual toll a boxer endures in a fight defines the greatness of the sport and of the fighter.

Not all boxing legends ended their careers on a perfect mark. The greatest of legends suffered excruciating defeats, but their rises defined their careers. Boxing fans acknowledge Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier as the defining rivalry because of the unwillingness of either fighter to back down from an

how we can play against it and be tough and see how we do and just do our job at the end of the day.”

The Arkansas offense also uses a pair of tight ends for additional run blocking. Junior tight ends Jeremy Sprinkle, who measures 6’6’’ and 255 pounds, and Hunter Henry, who stands at 6’5’’ and 253 pounds, are used in numerous formations. “(The tight ends) look like basketball players out there,” Kingsbury said.

“Great blockers. That’s what jumped out to me is they are used in the passing game but they are great blockers, use their leverage well. Both guys are going to be playing on Sundays.”

In addition to a huge of-

fensive line, the Razorbacks use multiple running backs.

Arkansas ran over the Red Raiders last season with 438 yards on the ground alone. Running backs Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins combined for six rushing touchdowns and kept the defense on its heels for the entire game.

This year ’s matchup will be slightly different, as Williams is out for the season. Even without Williams, Collins is still a threat to defenses.

The junior running back has topped the 1,000-yard rushing mark in each of his last two seasons, despite starting one game as a freshman and two as a sophomore. Collins is now the lead back with Williams

out for the season.

Tech players remember Collins well from a season ago. With the Red Raiders trailing by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter last year, Collins put the game out of reach by scoring on an 84-yard touchdown run.

Even with Collins’ impressive history, last week Toledo proved the running back can be contained. He carried the ball 20 times for 54 yards, according to the website, which is an average of 2.7 yards per rush.

“We’re just going to do our job,” Awe said. “That is the theme of this whole thing is do our job, because at the end of the day, if you do your job, it should add up.”

opponent. Every fight between the two exhibited both fighters fighting every second of every round. Ali and Frazier’s rivalry extended far beyond one single fight. If Ali wanted to declare himself “The Greatest,” he had to prove it by defeating all of his opponents and battling every top contender looking to claim his title.

By fighting Berto instead of Pacquiao a second time, Mayweather suggests his pursuit of a 49-0 record outweighs the importance of bringing excitement back into boxing and drawing in the American public. Boxing as a sport and a business suffers when no excitement surrounds it. No one wants to see one guy chase another guy around a square for 36 minutes. Fans don’t want three people sitting outside of the ring decide the

outcome of the fight. Fans want a definitive knockout win. As Mayweather circled the ring in the closing round in his fight versus Berto with his hands in the air and a smile plastered on his face, he gave no fan their money’s worth.

His final fight made his 49-0 record look more like a marketing gimmick than an accomplishment. If Mayweather gives the impression of his opponents not showing any real challenge, why would anyone want to pay to watch boxing matches?

Mayweather wears hats, T-shirts and other apparel declaring himself “The Best Ever.”

Since he doesn’t show interest in continuing a rivalry with Pacquiao like Ali did with Frazier, “The Greatest” continues to topple “The Best Ever.” @DGaytanDT

Cowboys need cleaner play without Bryant IRVING, Texas (AP) — Amid plenty of smiles after Tony Romo’s winning touchdown pass to Jason Witten in the final seconds of the opener against the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys were aware of a simple reality.

They can’t expect to win essentially giving away 17 points on turnovers — particularly now that All-Pro receiver Dez Bryant is expected to miss at least a month with a broken right foot.

“I don’t want to temper the win,” owner Jerry Jones said

after a 27-26 come-from-behind victory Sunday night that pushed the defending NFC East champion Cowboys to 8-0 in openers against their division rival. “Too many people worked too hard to win this game. We can play a lot better and will play a lot better.”

The first two big mistakes gave the Giants 10 points in the final minute of the first half, starting with a 57-yard fumble return by Dominique RodgersCromartie after receiver Cole Beasley lost the ball just before hitting the ground on a nice

catch and run for a first down.

On the next snap, Romo threw behind Witten, who tipped the ball to linebacker Uani Unga for an interception that led to a field goal.

New York went up 23-13 with 8 minutes remaining in the game when Trumaine McBride returned an interception to the Dallas 1, setting up the other touchdown for the Giants.

Perhaps even worse, two of the three turnovers put Romo and his surgically repaired back at risk. He turned awk-

Offense builds balanced attack

By BRANDON SOLIZ Staff Writer

Two weeks have passed since the return of college football for the 2015 season, and Texas Tech currently has the nation’s second ranked passer in yards, sophomore quarterback Patrick Mahomes II. However, Saturday’s game saw increased use of Tech’s running game.

Against Sam Houston State, Mahomes threw the ball a total of 57 times and completed 34 passes for a total of 437 yards.

Tech ran the ball 31 times for 174 yards in the game, with senior running back DeAndre Washington responsible for 74 yards, Mahomes with 48 and the rest of the running back unit adding on the other 52 yards.

Sam Houston State was almost similar in offense with two of their quarterbacks combining for 36 completions on 52 attempts for a total of 320 yards through the air.

The Bearkats ran the ball more than the Red Raiders and were more effective with their running back group, seeing action by rushing the ball 46 times and ending the day with 317 yards on the ground.

Although Washington did not get an extensive amount of carries, the Red Raiders did see a burst from Washington, who carried the ball 12 times during the span of the entire game. “(UTEP) was playing a lot of man coverage, so they were coming when we were going and we just took them out in space,” Kingsbury said. “It felt like DeAndre (Washington) could match up with their safety trying to make the tackle, so it was more just a game plan.”

Through week two Tech has scored a total of 128 points, putting up 59 against Sam Houston State and 69 the following week against UTEP. Tech has also possessed the ball for a total of 47 minutes and 46 seconds so far in

the season.

The Red Raiders completed almost all of their scoring drives in less than two minutes, which did not give the defense much time to rest, but Kingsbury said his players will take what is given to them.

“You have to understand in the Big 12, defensive numbers may not be what you’d like them to be, but it’s all about wins and losses because teams are playing that fast,” Kingsbury said. “(The defense) gets a stop, you score three plays and they’re right back out there. That’s obviously going to affect them.”

The time of possession is a key component that tells how Tech likes to run the offense, Kingsbury said, as they run the no-huddle and put up points quickly. In the game against Sam Houston State, one drive took a total of 13 seconds and two plays for Tech to score on a pass from Mahomes to junior wide receiver Devin Lauderdale.

Houston continuing QB controversy Razorbacks searching for RB answers HOUSTON (AP) — Brian Hoyer was terrible in his Houston debut and benched for Ryan Mallett in the fourth quarter in a loss to Kansas City on Sunday.

Now the question is whether Hoyer will keep his job or Mallett will get a chance this weekend against Carolina.

Coach Bill O’Brien said he knows who will start, but wouldn’t share it on Monday and doesn’t plan to reveal his plan before Sunday’s game.

“I’m not going to make a big quarterback announcement today,” O’Brien said.

“You’ll have to wait until the first offensive play of the Carolina game to see who the

quarterback will be.”

Hoyer signed in the offseason and beat Mallett out in camp for the job. But on Sunday against the Chiefs, two turnovers by Hoyer put Houston in a big early hole that was too much to overcome in the 27-20 loss.

Hoyer, who started 13 games for Cleveland last season, was intercepted on his first play as a Texan and fumbled on a sack later in the first half as the Chiefs rushed out to a 27-9 lead by halftime.

Hoyer didn’t have a turnover after the break, but was unable to move the offense.

And after a series in the fourth quarter where Hoyer

was penalized for intentional grounding, O’Brien brought in Mallett with about six minutes remaining.

Mallett responded by throwing a touchdown pass and 2-point conversion on his first drive and leading the Texans on a possession that ended with a field goal after that.

O’Brien was quick to point out that Hoyer isn’t the only player that needs to do better for Houston to be successful.

“It’s a team loss, no doubt about it,” O’Brien said. “The coaching has to be better ... we’ve got to figure out how to get these guys to be in better position to make plays.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Bret Bielema has made a career out of coaching teams that have the ability to run the ball effectively, even against opponents who know what is coming.

After a stunning 16-12 loss to Toledo that marked the second consecutive game with a lackluster rushing attack, the Arkansas coach hopes to kick start his Razorbacks this week against Texas Tech.

Arkansas (1-1) averaged 218 rushing yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry last season, and it was the only major college football program to produce a pair of

1,000-yard running backs in Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins.

With Williams out for likely the entire season, and a reshuffled offensive line struggling to find its chemistry, the Razorbacks enter the game against the Red Raiders (2-0) 11th in the Southeastern Conference with an average of 142.5 yards rushing per game.

They are also gaining only 4.4 yards per carry, a stark drop when considering their first two opponents came from Conference USA and the Mid-American Conference — not the mighty Southeastern Conference

defenses coming up following this weekend.

“We definitely have got to be able to run the football,” Bielema said. “That’s an emphasis in our program that has got to come to light more than at any time ever before.”

Arkansas’ run struggles began in a season-opening win over UTEP, though the final numbers — 182 yards rushing on 34 carries — appeared acceptable at first glance. However, 70 of those yards came on Collins’ draw on the final play of the first half, against a sagging Miners’ defense eager to avoid giving up a touchdown.
