Tech family back to normal after shootings After a shooter open-fired at Washington Navy Yard on Monday, Texas Tech alumna Anna Schumann said life is back to normal.

Schumann lives in Washington and works as an editor for SmartBrief.

The Washington Nationals stadium reopened Tuesday after postponing its game because of the shooting, she said. Schumann had planned to go to Monday’s game.

The shooter, Aaron Alexis, had a valid pass to the Navy Yard, according to an Associated Press article. The motive for the shooting is still pending, however there is some evidence to believe Alexis’ mental state was questionable.

Schumann said the city was alive again.

“Today felt the same as any other day,” Schumann said. “Despite the tragedy everything is back to regular schedule.”

Thirteen people, including the shooter, died during Monday’s shooting. ➤➤cwilson@dailytoreador.com

Dunkin’ Donuts to open in Lubbock Four Dunkin’ Donuts are scheduled to open in Lubbock, franchisee Niknud CEO Justin Sharbutt said.

The four stores are part of a bigger plan to expand Dunkin’ Donuts throughout West Texas, he said.

There will be a total of 11 stores opening throughout the area.

Sharbutt said he thinks the openings will be very successful in Lubbock.

Niknud also plans to open more stores throughout the region in cities such as Abilene, Amarillo and San Angelo, he said. Construction for all of the stores is expected to be finished by 2019.

“We are hoping to have the first one open right after the first of the new year,” Sharbutt said. “We plan to open the second one three months after that.” ➤➤cwilson@dailytoreador.com

Tech PD investigate sexual assault

By CHELSEA GRUNDEN Staff Writer

The first alleged sexual assault of the semester was reported to the Texas Tech Police Department on Friday.

An initial report of the event took place the night of the incident. Tech Police then interviewed the victim again on Monday. The victim said the details she gave the first night are still accurate.

The victim claims to have accepted a ride with four unknown males after she left the Conference Café at about 10:30 p.m., according to TechAnnounce

and confirmed by Tech Police Captain Stephen Hinkle. The victim thought she recognized two of the males as acquaintances and asked for a ride to her residence on campus.

The exact time and location are unknown, but the location of the assault is thought to have been inside a vehicle in either the Z-3 parking lot of Clement Residence Hall or the parking lot located on the north side of the Raider Park parking garage, according to the announcement.

As of now, to further the investigation, the Tech Police Department is

expecting to receive test results from the hospital. The police also are looking through security footage and trying to find out any additional information they can, Hinkle said.

“Right now we’re kind of waiting on results and looking at videos and trying to find witnesses,” he said.

Serena Perez, a freshman public relations major from Del Rio, said although the occurrence of a sexual assault on campus is scary, she still feels safe on campus.

“I just have to be aware of my surroundings,” she said. “I feel safe on campus because I never really travel alone.

I’m always with someone, and I know there are things to do to prevent being in that situation.”

Jacob Sikes, a freshman journalism major from Frankston, said the news made him feel uncomfortable, but crimes are bound to happen on such a large campus.

He finds it alarming, but said he still feels safe on campus.

“It’s a little scary to think that there are people on this campus who do those kind of things, but it’s going to happen anywhere, so it’s inevitable,” Sikes said.

Texas Tech students eager for release of new Apple software

By BEHDAD JAFFRI Staff Writer

After months of anticipation, the iOS 7 operating system releases today for Apple users.

Texas Tech students seem to be eager about the new software update.

Mark Celis, a freshman pre-nursing major from El Paso, said he was impressed by what he has seen from the iOS 7 beta and is excited for the software to be released.

“From what I’ve seen it looks sweet,” he said. “It looks really high tech. I’m fine with my iPhone now, but of course, Apple is always updating something. The more advanced the technology gets, the more people are for it.”

Apple’s iOS 7 system is formatted for iPhone 4 models through iPhone 5s and 5c, third and fourth generation iPads, the iPad 2, the iPad mini and the fifth generation iPod touch.

The company started iOS 7 with a desire to take an experience people love and make it better, according to the Apple website. The company wanted to make iOS 7 simpler, more useful and more enjoyable while still having a familiar feel for users.

The operating system will feature

hundreds of new improvements and changes, according to the website. Apple makes both the hardware and operating system for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, so everything is designed to work together.

According to Apple, applications on iOS 7 will take full advantage of new hardware features such as the dual-core processor and accelerated graphics.

The website also listed the new features on the iOS 7 Web page. New improvements to come with iOS 7 include a control center, a notification center, a multitasking feature, an all-new camera layout including on-snapshot filters, a new photo gallery layout, an AirDrop feature, a new look to Safari, iTunes radio and new enhancements to Siri.

The new control center gives users quick access to their controls and apps.

Users now only have to swipe up from any screen, including the lock screen, to do things such as turning Wi-Fi on or off, adjust the brightness and turn on and off Airplane mode.

Apple’s new notification center lets users know about new emails, missed

calls and reminders of pending tasks.

The notification center also will include a feature called “Today,” which gives users a summary of the day they are viewing.

Tuesday marked the 226th anniversary of the adoption of the U.S. Constitution by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.

For Texas Tech, it marked the annual Constitution Day. According to an email from the Department of Political Science, federal law and regulations by the U.S. Department of Education require federally funded schools to provide an educational program about the Constitution each year on Constitution Day. The Department of Political Science sponsored a panel of experts who discussed constitutional issues regarding government surveillance and the War on Terror.

Panelists included Mark McKenzie, ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

an associate professor of political science; Gregg Murray, an associate professor of political science; Steve Meserve, an associate professor of political science; and Tyson Meredith, a senior political science graduate student from Burley, Ind., who is writing a dissertation on the causes of terrorism.

Murray said the program was designed to educate students about the Constitution and their rights.

“This year’s theme was civil liberties and security and the implications from the Constitution,” he said.

The panelists explained which privacy rights are infringed upon given some of the government programs designed to prevent terrorism, but mainly those that monitor technology use among citizens.

judgment,” he said. “At least for me, violent acts like that shouldn’t be a possibility in someone’s mind. You shouldn’t have the desire to go against someone’s will to hurt them. I guess some people are different and they do think like that, so alcohol likely stimulates that even more.”

The Tech Police Department encourages anyone who has witnessed any activity related to this

sexual assault to contact them.

Tech residents also are encouraged to remain aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activities.

Whether alcohol played a part or not, Hinkle said students should call the police immediately when threatened.

“Most of the time when we are called for a sexual assault, I would say 99.9 percent of the

time, alcohol is involved,” Hinkle said. “Drink in moderation, don’t wander off by yourself and go out with people. If it’s something where alcohol is not involved, if it’s something that’s domestic between partners, then call the police. Don’t wait and think this is normal. Call the police and let us help. At least talk to somebody you can trust.” ➤➤cgrunden@dailytoreador.com

Navy Yard gunman told police he was heaing voices before shooting WASHINGTON (AP) — A month before he went on the rampage that left 13 dead, Washington Navy Yard gunman Aaron Alexis complained to police in Rhode Island that people were talking to him through the walls and ceilings of his hotel rooms and sending microwave vibrations into his body to deprive him of sleep.

The account, contained in an Aug. 7 report from Newport, R.I., police, adds to the picture that has emerged of an agitated and erratic figure whose behavior and mental state had repeatedly come to authorities’ attention but didn’t seem to affect his security clearance.

Alexis, a 34-year-old information technology employee at a defense-related computer company, used a valid pass Monday to get into the Navy Yard and killed 12 people before he was slain by police in a shootout that lasted more than a half-hour.

A day after the assault, the motive was still a mystery. U.S. law enforcement officials told The Associated Press that investigators had found no manifesto or other writings suggesting a political or religious motivation.

Alexis, a former Navy reservist, had been undergoing mental health treatment from Veterans Affairs since August but was not stripped of his security clearance, according to the law enforcement officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the criminal investigation was still going on.

He had been suffering a host of serious mental problems, includ-

ing paranoia and a sleep disorder, and had been hearing voices in his head, the officials said.

The assault is raising more questions about the adequacy of the background checks done on contract employees who hold security clearances — an issue that came up recently with National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus ordered two security reviews Tuesday of how well the Navy protects its bases and how accurately it screens its workers.

Similarly, President Barack Obama has ordered the White House budget office to examine security standards for government contractors and employees across federal agencies.

In addition, the House and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committees asked the VA for details about any treatment provided to Alexis.

At the U.S. Navy Memorial, in church and on the baseball field, the nation’s capital paused to mourn the victims. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel laid a wreath at the memorial’s “Lone Sailor” statue as taps played.

Just a few blocks from the Navy Yard, the Washington Nationals were back to playing baseball after their Monday night game with the Atlanta Braves was postponed because of the shooting. The Nationals wore blue and gold Navy caps during warm-ups, and a moment of silence was held before the first pitch.

Those killed included: Michael Arnold, 59, a Navy veteran and

avid pilot who was building a light airplane at home; Sylvia Frasier, 53, who worked in computer security; Frank Kohler, 50, a former Rotary Club president in Lexington Park, Md., who proudly reigned as “King Oyster” at the annual seafood festival; and marine engineer and naval architect Vishnu Pandit, 61, an Indian immigrant.

In the Newport, R.I., incident, Alexis told police he got into an argument with someone as he was getting on a flight from Virginia to Rhode Island, where he was working as a naval contractor, and he said the person sent three people to follow and harass him.

He said he heard voices talking to him through a wall while at one hotel, so he changed hotels twice, but the voices followed him, according to the report. He said he feared they might harm him.

He also “stated that the individuals are using ‘some sort of microwave machine’ to send vibrations through the ceiling, penetrating his body so he cannot fall asleep.”

Later that day, Newport police alerted the Rhode Island naval station and sent a copy of the police report, Newport police Lt. William Fitzgerald said Thursday.

A spokeswoman for the station had no comment Tuesday.

Alexis came to the Washington area about two weeks later and had been staying at hotels. On Saturday, two days before the attack, he went to a Virginia gun store about 15 miles from the Navy Yard.

He rented a rifle, bought bullets and took target practice at Sharp-

shooters Small Arms Range, the store’s attorney Michael Slocum said. Alexis then bought a shotgun and 24 shells, according to Slocum.

The FBI said during Monday’s attack Alexis was armed with a shotgun. Officials said he also took a handgun from a law officer.

Alexis had run-ins with the law in 2004 and 2010 in Texas and Seattle after he was accused of firing a gun in anger. He was not prosecuted in either case.

And his bouts of insubordination, disorderly conduct and being absent from work without authorization prompted the Navy to grant him an early — but honorable — discharge in 2011 after nearly four years as a full-time reservist, authorities said.

Alexis joined the Florida-based IT consulting firm The Experts in September 2012, leaving a few months later to return to school.

He came back in June to do parttime work at the Washington Navy Yard as a subcontractor, helping the military update computer systems.

The Experts’ CEO, Thomas Hoshko, said that Alexis had “no personal issues,” and he confirmed that Alexis had been granted a “secret” clearance by the Defense Security Service five years ago.

Alexis’ clearance — lower than “top secret” — doesn’t need to be renewed for 10 years. Still, the company said it hired outside vendors twice to check Alexis’ criminal history.

Alexis’ background check “came back clear,” Hoshko said.

Attention turns to damage tallies as airlifts wane LYONS, Colo. (AP) — The emergency airlifts of flood victims waned Tuesday, leaving rescue crews to systematically search the nooks and crannies of the northern Colorado foothills and transportation officials to gauge what it will take to rebuild the wasted landscape.

More than 3,000 people have been evacuated by air and ground since last week’s devastating floods, but calls for those emergency rescues are now dwindling, federal and state emergency officials said.

Military rescue crews have met to identify new areas to check and places to cover again with hundreds of people

still considered missing.

“They’ve kind of transitioned from that initial response to going into more of a grid search,” Colorado National Guard Lt. Skye Robinson said.

In one of those searches Tuesday, Sgt. 1st Class Keith Bart and Staff Sgt. Jose Pantoja leaned out the window of a Blackhawk, giving the thumbsup sign to people they spotted on the ground while flying outside of hard-hit Jamestown.

Most waved back and continued shoveling debris. But then Bart spotted two women waving red scarves, and the helicopter descended.

Pantoja attached his harness to the

helicopter’s winch and was lowered to the ground. He clipped the women in, and they laughed as they were hoisted into the Blackhawk.

After dropping off the women at the Boulder airport, the Blackhawk was back in the air less than a minute later to resume the search.

The state’s latest count has dropped to about 580 people missing, and the number continues to decrease as the stranded get in touch with families.

One of the missing is Gerald Boland, a retired math teacher and basketball coach who lives in the damaged town of Lyons. Boland’s neighbors, all of whom defied a mandatory evacuation

order, said Boland took his wife to safety Thursday then tried to return home.

Two search teams went looking for him Monday.

“He was very sensible. I find it amazing that he would do something that would put himself in harm’s way,” said neighbor Mike Lennard. “But you just never know under these circumstances.”

State officials reported six floodrelated deaths, plus two women missing and presumed dead. The number was expected to increase. It could take weeks or even months to search through flooded areas looking for people who died.

According to a poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, 56 percent of Americans said federal courts failed to provide adequate limits on telephone and Internet data, which the government uses in its antiterrorism efforts.

World failing over climate change LONDON (AP) — International leaders are failing in their fight against global warming, one of the United Nations’ top climate officials said Tuesday, appealing directly to the world’s voters to pressure their politicians into taking tougher action against the buildup of greenhouse gases.

Halldor Thorgeirsson told journalists gathered at London’s Imperial College that world leaders weren’t working hard enough to prevent potentially catastrophic climate change.

“We are failing as an international community,” he said. “We are not on track.”

Thorgeirsson, a senior director with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, was speaking with two years left to go before the world powers gather in Paris for another round of negotiations over the future of the world’s

climate, which scientists warn will warm dramatically unless action is taken to cut down on the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.

One of the main points of contention is how to divide the burden of emissions cuts between industrialized nations and emerging economies such as India and China, the world’s top carbon polluter. The lack of progress in recent years has fueled doubts over whether a binding deal is possible at all.

Thorgeirsson seemed to strike a pessimistic note Tuesday, talking down the idea that Paris — or any other conference — would produce a grand bargain that would ensure the reductions needed to prevent a dangerous warming of the Earth’s atmosphere. He even seemed to suggest that a global solution to the issue wasn’t likely until the effects of climate change came barreling

down on peoples’ heads or flooding into their homes.

“I don’t think that an international treaty will ever be the primary driver for the difficult decisions to be made,” he warned. “It’s the problem itself that will be the primary driver — and the consequences of that problem.”

Quizzed on the repeated failure of the international community to organize a global deal on greenhouse gases, he said that the politicians involved had to be held to account.

“This is a question that needs to be asked at the ballot box,” he said.

“This is a question that needs to be asked of leaders at all levels.”

Thorgeirsson was in London for the launch of a joint study by Imperial’s Grantham Institute for Climate Change and its Energy Futures Laboratory of the estimated cost of halving the world’s carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.

OT, minimum wage extended to health care workers WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration approved new rules Tuesday that extend minimum wage and overtime pay to nearly 2 million home health care workers who help the elderly and disabled with everyday tasks such as bathing, eating or taking medicine.

Home care aides have been exempt from federal wage laws since 1974, when they were when they were placed in the same category as neighborhood baby sitters. But their ranks have surged with the aging population and the field is now one of the fastest-growing professions. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez said the workers deserve the same legal protections as most other employees.

“Home care workers are no longer treated like teenage babysitters performing casual employment under this final rule,” Perez said. “They are treated with dignity and their hard work is indeed rewarded.”

Labor unions and worker advocacy groups have been seeking the change for years, arguing that nearly half of caregivers live at or below the poverty level or receive public benefits such as food stamps and Medicaid.

But some health care companies claim new overtime requirements will make it tougher for families to afford home care for their aging parents. Lob-

byists for the $84 billion industry argue the new requirements could reduce the quality of care and even lower the take-home pay of caregivers if companies decide not to send workers out for shifts longer than eight hours.

The new rules will take effect in January 2015, a move Perez said will give time for states and industry providers to adjust to the new requirements. New wage and hour rules typically take effect within 60 days after final approval. The rules cover

home health aides, personal care aides and certified nursing assistants that provide care to the elderly and people with injuries, illnesses and disabilities.

President Barack Obama first proposed the rules nearly two years ago as part of broader effort to boost the economy and help low-income workers struggling to make ends meet. More than 90 percent of home care aides are women. About 30 percent are black, and 12 percent are Hispanic.

GOP should stop partisanship, start working for country Jakob Reynolds ing President Barack Obama will cave after his approval ratings declined because of the recent stumble on Syria and he will take the blame if Republicans reject legislation that may result in a possible government shutdown.

Rep. Steve King, a Republican from Iowa, said about the strategy that “Syria has hurt him significantly... It is a factor in the debt ceiling.”

How exactly the GOP came to this conclusion is anyone’s guess. If the past 41 attempts to derail their favorite up-andcoming social program serve as any example of what is likely to happen, House conservatives are

at best persistent and at worst delusional if they expect to get what they want this time.

Senate Democrats have stated fairly explicitly they will not vote for any legislation that defunds or repeals the m o s t s i g n i f icant achievement they have to their name under Obama’s administration.

I have never been a fan of the GOP in general, much less what the party has become since Obama took office in 2008.

years is sacrifice the interests of the majority of American citizens and ceaselessly vie to personally tarnish and undermine every piece of legislation the democratically elected leader of our country has signed into law for no other reason than partisan political gain.

In my perfect world, the constituents of these leeches of society would see their representatives as the traitors they are and hold them accountable.

Of course, that would be in a perfect world — which this obviously isn’t.

What Congressional Republicans could do in a less-thanperfect world is move on from what has proven to be a total waste of time.

Now imagine 46 copies of that guy and imagine they are responsible for running your country.

At least 43 conservative Republicans in the House of Representatives are convinced that now is the time for GOP leadership to strike at the Affordable Care Act — again — according to an article in The Hill on Monday.

Apparently, this particular group of conservatives have been pressuring Speaker of the House, John Boehner and Majority Leader, Eric Cantor to have another go at defunding or repealing Obamacare, speculat-

However, what Congressional Republicans could do in a lessthan-perfect world is move on from what has proven to be a total waste of time. They could wake up and see the Pew Research Center and Gallup polls consistently showing the disapproval of Republican leadership by more than two-thirds of American citizens for three years running.

There are plenty of other pressing issues that threaten our nation’s future the Republicans could solve to win points with their voters, such as our crumbling infrastructure, increasingly polluted environment, obscenely high rates of student debt and waning middle class.

They could at least take Newt Gingrich’s advice and come up with some alternatives to the law they have been fruitlessly trying to repeal. Obamacare, after all, is certainly not as effective at providing health care to those who

need it as the proposed “public option” was.

Normally, I would say that recent behavior by the more hardcore conservative wingnuts of the GOP in Congress and the infighting and embarrassment it has created would be a good thing were it not for the fact that, at the end of the day, their misguided decisions still affect normal, rational, hardworking Americans.

The American people and Obama have gotten the message that the GOP doesn’t like Obamacare, or anything else with Obama’s name attached to it.

Unfortunately for conservatives in Congress, it’s not going away.

It’s time they stop wasting time and taxpayer dollars and start actually doing something for their country.

GUEST COLUMN

Tech fans should show respect, be civil during football games Texas Tech fans, I’ve never been more simultaneously proud and ashamed of you.

I’m proud because we rocked Jones AT&T Stadium. Texas Christian made a lot of mistakes on the field and I’m certain that more than a few were a direct result of the deafening cheers that pervaded our stadium.

I’m ashamed because people still think it’s cool to butcher our fight song with profanity because someone thought it was cool to tear apart our own stadium;

because someone thought it would be funny to throw things onto the field at the opposing team. Most of all, however, I’m ashamed that fans of the opposing team actually feared for the safety of their children because of how rude and violent Tech “fans” were.

It’s a football game. Read that again. A game.

Yeah, I know it can get rowdy.

I was a little pumped up, too. I “politely informed” the refs what I thought of their officiating,

helpfully “suggested” to a few Horned Frogs that they practice a bit more because they weren’t performing well and, perhaps worst of all, was caught doing the Cupid Shuffle on Raidervision.

Let me tell you what I didn’t do.

I did not act openly hostile toward anyone in purple. They were just people who simply wanted to travel to Lubbock to see their team play. I did not threaten nearby Horned Frogs, I did not try to pick a fight, and

I did not abuse another person because they weren’t cheering for the same team I was.

Lubbock is a wonderful town and there’s simply no place in the world like the Jones, but I guarantee every Horned Frog in attendance Thursday will never want to come here again because of the way they were treated and that’s pathetic. There’s no reason for anyone visiting the Jones to feel threatened or unsafe and it’s absolutely abhorrent my cousin was afraid of her elementary

school-aged son being hurt by fighting, abusive and disrespectful fans.

Get it together, Raiderland.

You can be a good, respectful fan base and still rock the Jones.

You can get loud on a third down without tearing up a bleacher.

You can celebrate a score without disgracing the countless Red Raiders who came before you, are there with you and will come after you by defaming our own fight song.

You can intimidate the op-

posing team with the raucous thunder of “Raider Power” while welcoming the opposing fans into one of the most beautiful, exciting and enthusiastic stadiums in all of college sports. I expect more of Red Raiders.

Also, there should be no more of this rushing the field after beating the No. 24 ranked team.

Seriously, guys?

Fox makes varied, surprising sounds Students should stay for entire class “Ducks go quack, and fish go blub — and the seal goes owow-ow. But there’s one sound that no one knows.”

Besides filling our lives with joy and inspiration and ridiculing modern pop culture, the song “The Fox,” written by a pair of Norwegian talk show hosts who refer to themselves as Ylvis, raises some pretty important questions.

What exactly does the fox say?

Ylvis suggests many possible answers, from the cheerful “Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow” to the eerie “a-hee-a-hee-a-hee.”

And we laugh along with them, while they dance in their absurd fox suits — and obviously as the elephant goes “toot.” They make several other guesses as to the sound of the mysterious red-coated “angel,” all just as haunting as the last. More than anything, the song feels like a cynical examination of just how far pop culture has fallen.

But the weird part is, for the most part, Ylvis is pretty much right.

Not every farcical song has to be an ironic inspection of society and culture. Even though they claim “no one knows” the actual sound made by a fox, Fox-perts actually do — and the shocking fact is, Ylvis hits the nail right on the head. The sounds a red fox makes are extremely varied, just like in the video. And, in reality, they’re just as strange and terrifying.

Red foxes are relatively shy around humans; that’s probably why most people think they have never actually heard one vocalize. And it’s true, foxes are pretty secretive, but the simple fact is, the sounds a red fox can make are nuts.

We have probably heard many in our lifetime, but according to the experts, it’s actually really hard to distinguish the call of a red fox from that of an extremely shrill coyote or an exceptionally screechy owl.

According to Popular Science, the red fox makes a lot of different sounds, most of which tend to be described as highpitched and “scream-y.” From the mating wail of the female fox (or male, depending on the situation) to the haunting and

more birdlike “yow-ow-ow-ow” identification barks, it’s really a wonder we find foxes endearing at all.

They garble, too — and often — singing a song reminiscent of a child stuck at the bottom of a well. It’s strange, because what we expect from a cute forest animal is a cute forest sound.

But Ylvis was absolutely correct with their musical approximation of the fox’s disturbing voice. “Fraka-kaka-kaka-kakakow” is totally spot-on, matching the sound foxes make in territorial encounters between adults; in the world of fox science, that’s called “gekkering.”

It’s a series of angry, guttural clicks you can hear when a fox gets really worked up about something.

If you haven’t, go check out “The Fox” by Ylvis. And remember to not only appreciate the viral song for its delightful melody, musical prose, and ironic interpretation of pop culture, but actually pay attention to the ever-changing fox refrain. You’ll be pleased (or horrified) to note the striking similarities to the various calls of the red fox.

Then, seriously, look up gekkering. It’s great.

Iowa State DaIly (Iowa State U.)

Only five minutes remain in a 50-minute class. The professor ties up his final points with examples from the text while anxiously glancing at the clock. Students are furiously scribbling down the last notes when a sound echoes through the lecture hall: the rustling of notebooks being thrown into a bag, followed by a loud, quick zip as the bag is closed.

Like a spell that’s been broken, suddenly dozens of students follow the example, packing up their pens and notes while the professor scrambles to get his last choice words out while he has a chance. Soon, students are actually leaving the classroom, though three minutes remain before the end of the period.

The professor realizes his doom and quickly yells out the assignment for next period before giving up and packing his things, too.

As students, we lead extremely busy lives. Full-time schooling plus part- or full-time work, adds up to a very stressful schedule. Sometimes we have classes a scant 10 minutes apart, and often, a mile of campus stands between us and our destination.

However, these aren’t excuses for the behavior exhibited by many in the classroom.

When a student leaves five minutes early, he or she misses 10 percent of each 50 minute lecture. That’s 10 percent of the student’s education going to waste.

Forgetting tuition money spent on a variety of fees, basic tuition for residents is $3,324. Splitting that cost to represent the average of five classes taken at a time, that’s $665 per class. If a student is spending that much money on each class and chooses to leave five minutes early every class period, that can be about $66 dollars thrown away, per class, per semester. And after fourplus years, that really starts to add up.

But that’s just the financial perspective. There are other, more important reasons to avoid this kind of behavior.

Leaving class early is just plain rude.

The noise and disruption that inevitably accompanies a student’s premature exit ruins fellow students’ ability to learn. Distracted by the noise of backpacks zipping and desks being lifted and dropped, a student is unlikely to hear or remember what their professor is saying.

It also seriously undermines the professor’s attempts to communicate his final, precious messages to students; he will be forced to delay his schedule, pushing items further back on the syllabus each day. Eventually some material will be dropped, leaving you, the student, paying the same amount Copyright © 2013 Texas Tech University Student Media/The Daily Toreador.

for a diminished education.

Just as students and professors are affected by this discourteous behavior, the students and professors are responsible for its occurrence.

Obviously, students can prevent this classroom disruption by simply not leaving early. Except for cases of emergency or previously-arranged appointments, there is no reason for a student to get up while a professor is still speaking.

Maybe your next class is far away, you’re supposed to meet someone at a certain time, or you’re desperate to finish a project due in an hour; whatever the reason, the answer is simple: Just don’t do it.

It’s inconsiderate.

Though professors may not be the root of the problem, they hold partial responsibility for the prevalence of students leaving early. Every instructor who allows students to depart unchecked perpetuates the idea that packing up during lecture is OK. Rather than giving up and leaving the rest of the lecture for the following period, professors should take control of their class and call out the disruptors.

Packing your things early may seem like no big deal, but when it happens again and again, it ruins the educational experience of the professors and students.

If you want an education, stick around to get it.

Brothers juggle multiple jobs, school

By CALLIE POINDEXTER Staff Writer

For brothers Cody and Tucker Empkey, hard work is a family affair.

In addition to attending c l a s s e s a t Te x a s Te c h , t h e brothers juggle two jobs each in order to support themselves.

Cody Empkey, a senior journalism major from Haltom City, works for Raidervision and the Office of Annual Giving in the Media and Communication building at Tech.

“Last year I started Raidervision and I already worked at Subway,” he said. “I wanted to do Raidervision to learn something new, in case I wanted to do it in the future. Once I realized that I could make more money doing Raidervision, I quit my other job and started here because it’s less hours and works better with my schedule.”

Cody Empkey said he inquired about the Raidervision job after a representative speaking to one of his classes piqued his interest over a year ago and has been working there since.

Although working is necessary to support himself, he said paying the bills is not the only reason he took on double the work.

“Growing up, my parents, I mean there’s four of us backto-back-to-back kids,” Cody Empkey said, “so my parents had two jobs growing up, both of them, so we could have everything. I just do it because I’ve always felt if I’m sitting around doing nothing I’m wasting time. It started off with I needed it to make the money to pay my bills, and now it’s come to I enjoy Raidervision, and I enjoy my other job so I just keep doing it.”

Tucker Empkey, a senior history major from Haltom City, works at Domino’s Pizza and for a program that allows him to tutor students at local high schools — Upward Bound.

He said to get enough hours to support himself working two jobs was necessary.

“I think because of scheduling,” Tucker Empkey said. “I have a lot going on, so one job works with part of my schedule and the other job works with the other. So they kind of just coincide with each other because it’s hard to get so many hours at one job because of my schedule.”

Between school and work, he said many times he must incorporate less sleep into his schedule.

B e c a u s e Tu c k e r E m p k e y hopes to be a teacher after graduating, student teaching is another responsibility to juggle.

He said many students in the program are advised to refrain from working additional hours, much less working two jobs.

“They changed our program this year to where we have to student teach for a whole year,” Tucker Empkey said. “So I’m at the high school four days a week from 7:45 to 4:45, so that’s basically like another job, but I don’t get paid for it.”

He said often times he will leave student teaching, tutor with Upward Bound, then work at Domino’s until closing.

To a c c o m p l i s h a l l o f h i s tasks, his brother Cody said he sets aside time every Sunday to plan out his week.

“It’s already hard to find time to do homework,” Cody Empkey said, “but when you have two jobs, you have to plan everything out. There’s

no way around it. You have to be organized.”

Tucker Empkey said he has worked at Domino’s for three years, and has been a part of Upward Bound for two years.

Although he is thankful to have both jobs, he said he does prefer one to the other.

“What I don’t like about Domino’s is that it’s meaningless,” he said. “That’s why I like Upward Bound more because I tutor the high school kids, and

I’m actually making an impact on them and helping them, but, like, Domino’s, you’re just making pizzas.”

Both brothers said they have been working since their first job at age 16 and hope having multiple jobs will be a reflection of their work ethic when pursuing their careers, even though not all of their jobs are applicable to their major.

Cody Empkey said although having to have multiple jobs is

stressful; he harbors no resentment for those who have not experienced that type of stress. “ P e o p l e t h a t d o n ’t h a v e to work,” Cody Empkey said, “I have nothing against it. If they’re lucky enough where they don’t have to work, go for it. Unfortunately I’m not in that position, but more power to them. I have no hostility against anyone who doesn’t have to work.”

Although working multiple

jobs while in college may seem overambitious to some, Cody Empkey said he and his brother have never been ones to feel comfortable taking handouts.

“I work it because that’s the way I was raised to work,” he said. “You earn what you’ve got. I don’t like taking money from my parents. I have before, even though I do work two jobs, I have before. But I still don’t like it.” ➤➤cpoindexter@dailytoreador.com

Coach brings character to Tech baseball

By PAIGE SKINNER

played under Tadlock at Grayson County College.

And since then, he said he always has wanted to be a part of Tadlock’s coaching staff.

“After playing for him, (I have) tremendous respect for him and how he does things,” Gardner said. “Being a part of his staff or being underneath him, being able to learn in that aspect would be very beneficial for me for my career.”

Gardner describes his playing days under Tadlock as fun and long. Off the field, Gardner joked about assembling Tadlock’s daughter’s first trampoline.

Tadlock said there has been several times where he would call home to his wife and children to learn Gardner was helping baby-sit.

When Gardner was not assisting Tadlock off the field, he was learning from his coach about the game on the field.

Managing Editor

As baseball walk-on candidates warm up before their tryouts, volunteer assistant coach Matt Gardner sets up the batting cage.

No one asked or told him to do it. He simply took the initiative.

That’s one of the reasons Texas Tech coach Tim Tadlock brought him onto his coaching staff this season.

And if his going-above-andbeyond attitude was not enough, Gardner is a volunteer coach — meaning without pay.

While he does other things for income, Gardner — who coached for Lubbock Christian last year — said he wanted to coach for a team in the Big 12 Conference.

During Gardner’s first season of playing collegiate baseball, he

“He was laid back, but very intense as far as baseball-wise,” Gardner said about Tadlock. “(Tadlock) expected you to play the game right. (The experience) really was good as a young player, to go play for him, get away from home, things weren’t easy.”

Gardner compared his father — also a baseball coach — to Tadlock’s coaching style.

“Not a guy who gets mad a lot, but when he does, you better listen,” Gardner said about Tadlock. “He’s not going to be a guy who yells all the time, but when he does get on you and gets after you a little bit, you know it’s a pretty important deal.”

Coach Ray Hayward, Tech’s pitching coach, said Gardner will serve as an extra set of eyes on the pitchers during practices.

Hayward and Tadlock agreed that Gardner, a 28-year-old, also will be able to better relate to

the college-aged players.

“Definitely, (Gardner) gives an ear to the players,” Tadlock said. “Maybe they’re more comfortable going to talk to him, maybe more so than another coach.”

While Gardner will soon find his spot at Tech, he said he plans to figure out his future in time.

He said he would love to be a head coach one day, but is not worried about it right now. He just hopes to move up the ladder in Division I baseball.

And if Tadlock’s praise of Gardner is any indication, Gardner shouldn’t have a problem moving forward.

“He’s always been a guy that’s always been about more than just Matt,” he said. “He wants to win, he wants to do things the right way and wants to help people.

At the end of the day, he wants to help people.” ➤➤pskinner@dailytoreador.com

Texas Tech No. 19 soccer gaining attention Texas Tech soccer is reaching new heights this season with the highest ranking its earned in school history, according to a news release.

The Red Raiders have climbed to No. 19 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America rankings.

Tech also appeared in two other rankings, according to the release.

Top Drawer Soccer and Soccer America placed the Red Raiders at No. 20.

The rankings are a result of the Red Raiders going undefeated in Tucson, Ariz., at the Arizona ‘Cats Classic. Tech achieved shutouts against both Arizona and Arizona State.

The two goals in the Sun Devils game were scored by Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week, Janine Beckie, according a news release. The game against the Sun Devils became her fourth career multi-goal game.

The sophomore forward ranks second in the Big 12 for goals scored with five. She is tied with two West Virginia Mountaineers, senior forward Frances Silva and junior forward Kate Schwindel.

Beckie was not the only Tech player to earn conference recognition. Goalkeeper senior Victoria Esson was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week leading the defense to five shutouts this season.

Esson had four saves against the

Football player, 12, dies after ant bites in first-aid and use of CPR and a defibrillator, she said. A defibrillator was used on Cameron at the field before he was taken to the hospital by ambulance, she said.

The eighth-grader at Paul R. Haas Middle School remained hospitalized in critical condition until his death Monday, Williams said.

The game resumed after Cameron was taken away but was later halted when the severity of his condition became apparent, Williams said.

The boy was unaware that he was allergic to ants, and the school district had no record of allergies for the boy, she said.

Williams said school administrators are receiving suggestions on ways to memorialize Cameron.

CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — A 12-year-old boy died after apparently having a severe allergic reaction to ant bites he suffered while warming up during halftime of a South Texas middle school football game, officials confirmed Tuesday.

Cameron Espinosa died days after being bitten multiple times by fire ants, officials said. The boy used a water bottle to try to flush away the ants Sept. 11 before eventually losing consciousness, said Lorette Williams, spokeswoman for the Corpus Christi Independent School District.

While medics are assigned to high school varsity football games in Texas, that is not the case with middle school games, Williams said. However, coaches are trained

Wildcats and followed the effort with two more saves on the Sun Devils.

She has allowed only one goal in the last four games.

Esson now has earned Big 12 Player of the Week honors five times in her career, while this is the third time for Beckie, according to the release.

“

I don’t even pay attention to it. It is what it is. We just attack each week and try to get better that week and try to win that game.

“We’ll be disciplined,” he said. “Everybody has to know their keys and has to follow them throughout the game because anytime they can bust a long one on us, you know, fit the right gap or get the pitch man or take the dive, we have to read our keys going in.”

Tech soundly defeated Texas State 58-10 last season in San Marcos.

Hyder said the game plan was to run the Bobcats out of Bobcat Stadium.

“They came out excited and we did too,” he said. “So we came in with a game plan. We were going to run them out the stadium, and that’s what happened.”

The Red Raiders will host the Bobcats at 6 p.m. Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Junior receiver Bradley Marquez said he has enjoyed the recent emergence into the AP polls and that his iPhone is even cheering for him now.

“We’re excited,” Marquez said. “Actually, I asked Siri on my iPhone who her favorite team was yesterday and she said Texas Tech, so that was pretty fun.”

Any future AP polls will not affect the way the Red Raiders practice or approach their game planning each week, Kingsbury said.

“I don’t even pay attention to it,” he said. “It is what it is. We just attack each week and try to get better that week and try to win that game. So that’s really where we’re at.” ➤➤mdupont@dailytoreador.com

Texas A&M defense tries to right the ship COLLEGE STATION (AP) — Texas A&M’s defense allowed six long touchdown drives to top-ranked Alabama and defensive coordinator Mark Snyder says the lessons his young players learned will last a long time.

“There was a lot of great teaching,”

Snyder said after the Aggies reviewed film of Saturday’s 49-42 loss. “The thing is, our kids care. There were a lot of hurt kids in the locker room. They played their tails off.”

Still, the Aggies rank 115th out of 123 Bowl Subdivision programs in

rushing defense, allowing 260 yards per game. They rate 112th in total defense (allowing 489 ypg) and 107th in scoring defense (36 points per game). The numbers suggest a Southeastern Conference title will be tough going for the 10thranked Aggies, at least at this point.
