Professionals discuss resumé tips, mistakes

By REECE NATIONS News Editor

An individual’s resumé is the first document that their future employer will see with their name on it. Understanding the nuances involved with presenting oneself as a qualified job candidate is all a part of a trial-and-error process.

“A resumé is a great medium to advertise yourself with,” Toni Krebbs, lead counselor of employer relations at the University Career Center, said. “It’s important that you start with the key elements first. Make sure your name and contact info are promi-

nent and are at the very top of each page of your resume.”

While including contact information is important when constructing a resumé, it is not necessary to include one’s physical home address, she said. Employers are not going to knock on people’s doors to offer them jobs.

The layout of one’s resumé should be straightforward, Krebbs said. People should start with a blank document in Microsoft Word and avoid using online templates as they may come off as unprofessional to a potential employer.

Experts share advice about internships

By BRANDI ADDISON Staff Writer

Popular among college students, internships offer experience and networking opportunities that might help further an individual’s career and future.

While not all students are required to complete an internship, Texas Tech’s University Career Center experts still recommend that students do.

Jay Killough, managing director for the Career Center, said internships serve a purpose in providing a student with experience in a shortterm period.

“I think it doesn’t matter if you’re a history major, English, (mass communications), whatever,” Killough said. “I recommend an internship for everyone.”

Whichever field an individual is interested in, an internship can solidify their interest and help them become more motivated toward their future, he said.

However, there is also the possibility that an individual may discover they are not doing what they want to be doing, and at that point, the internship is still valuable.

“It might steer students into a different direction that, in the long run, is for the better,” Killough said. “I think that’s what is good about an internship. It’s not a fulltime commitment like a full-time job is, and it gives the student exposure to the environment and to the occupation.”

Experiential learning is complementary to a student’s education, he said, and there is a difference between reading

about a profession in a book and performing that job while being able to participate in the day-today activities.

No matter the degree, having an internship is beneficial to all students, he said.

“I think it’s a resume builder,” Killough said. “If a student has an internship on their resumé, employers will ask questions about it. It’s a good thing.”

If the experience was not what the student was hoping for or was a poor experience, it is OK, he said, because there was still a lesson learned in the process.

Bad internships happen, he said, so it is important for students to always spin a poor experience into a positive one.

Professionalism, personal brand important for new employees entering workforce

By CANDICE CLARK L a Vida Editor

Whether it’s the first day at the fast food restaurant or in the cubicle, a student’s first job can be exciting and nerve wracking at the same time.

Logan Winkelman, the associate director for student development in the University Career Center, said her number one tip is to be observant of the office environment.

“When you are onboarding to a new job, you won’t know about the unsaid things that go on in the

office,” she said. “Before assuming anything, see how the rest of the office functions. Observe the intricacies. Also, don’t try to mimic people who come across as more negative.

Be as friendly as possible.”

According to a news release from the U.S. Department of Labor, wage and salary workers older than the age of 35 are more likely to stay at their jobs longer, up to seven years. However, workers under the age of 35 tend stay at their jobs for a maximum of three years.

Winkelman said this trend is, in

part, because many people in the younger workforce do not understand how to act professionally in their first jobs.

“A lot of new employees don’t know how to email professionally or know what to do to be accepted in their new environment,” she said. “Another tip to remember to combat that is, be on time. Show up early, stay late if you can. Show the attitude that you want to be there, and be positive.”

Winkelman also said a good way to successfully integrate is to observe what the other employees

in the office are wearing.

“Not every Friday is casual Friday. Depending on the industry, whether it’s more relaxed or strict, is for you to find out by observing,” she said. “Know what’s appropriate.”

According to the Department of Labor news release, summer 2017 saw a rise in the youth labor force in the U.S. An increase of 2.4 million job seekers of the ages of 16 to 24 rose the total to 23.1 million.

Winkelman said despite the challenges facing this increased labor force, the common sense

principles of observing the office and having a positive attitude can help a new worker land and keep his first job.

“Perception is reality,” she said. “People aren’t going to remember the big project you finished if you are a sloppy dresser, and vice versa. Be cognizant of that if possible. Align yourself with people who are supportive.

Everybody will know who you will associate with. Volunteer for things, show a willing attitude, and be positive.” @DailyToreador

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The strongest hurricane to hit Puerto Rico in more than 80 years destroyed hundreds of homes, knocked out power across the entire island and turned some streets into raging rivers Wednesday in an onslaught that could plunge the U.S. territory deeper into financial crisis.

Leaving at least nine people dead in its wake across the Caribbean, Hurricane Maria blew ashore in the morning near the southeast coastal town of Yabucoa as a Category 4 storm with winds of 155 mph (250 kph).

It punished the island of 3.4 million people with life-threatening winds for several hours, the second time in two weeks that Puerto Rico has felt the wrath of a hurricane.

"Once we're able to go outside, we're going to find our

island destroyed," warned Abner Gomez, Puerto Rico's emergency management director. "The information we have received is not encouraging. It's a system that has destroyed everything in its path."

There were no immediate reports of any deaths or serious injuries on the island.

As people waited in shelters or took cover inside stairwells, bathrooms and closets, Maria brought down cell towers and power lines, snapped trees, tore off roofs and unloaded at least 20 inches (50 centimeters) of rain.

Widespread flooding was reported, with dozens of cars half-submerged in some neighborhoods and many streets turned into rivers.

People calling local radio stations reported that doors were being torn off their hinges and a water tank

flew away.

Felix Delgado, mayor of the northern coastal city of Catano, told The Associated Press that 80 percent of the 454 homes in a neighborhood known as Juana Matos were destroyed. The fishing community near San Juan Bay was hit with a storm surge of more than 4 feet (1.2 meters), he said.

"Months and months and months and months are going to pass before we can recover from this," he said.

Gov. Ricardo Rossello imposed a curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily until Saturday to allow rescue crews and officials to respond to the hurricane's aftermath.

"We are at a critical moment in the effort to help thousands of Puerto Ricans that urgently need aid and to assess the great damage caused by Hurricane Maria," he said. "Maintaining public

order will be essential."

As of 5 p.m. EDT, Maria had weakened into a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 110 mph (175 kph).

It was centered just off the northwestern corner of Puerto Rico, moving at 12 mph (19 kph).

It was expected to pass off the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic late Wednesday and Thursday.

Even before the storm, Puerto Rico's electrical grid was crumbling and the island was in dire condition financially.

Puerto Rico is struggling to restructure a portion of its $73 billion debt, and the government has warned it is running out of money as it fights against furloughs and other austerity measures imposed by a federal board overseeing the island's finances.

Rossello urged people to have faith: "We are stronger than any hurricane. Together, we will rebuild."

He asked President Donald Trump to declare the island a disaster zone, a step that would open the way to federal aid.

Many people feared extended power outages would further sink businesses struggling amid a recession that has lasted more than a decade.

"This is going to be a disaster," said Jean Robert Auguste, who owns two French restaurants and sought shelter at a San Juan hotel. "We haven't made any money this month."

RESUMÉ

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “Your education experience should be at the top of your resumé in reverse chronological order,” she said. “That means start with your college experience and work your way down.

It’s not necessary to put your elementary or middle school education, however.

That will pretty much be the same for everyone.”

Unpaid work experiences can be just as relevant to an employer as paid work experiences, so people should not discount the skills obtained while off the clock, Krebbs said. Telling one’s potential employer that he is a team player is crucial.

“I consider the biggest (skill) a person can convey in their resumé is communication skills,” she said.

“Communication is an aspect of every industry and

can really only be obtained through experience. It’s hard to teach someone the best way to articulate themselves. That’s something they mostly have to learn on their own.”

Succinct bullet points are the best way to make one’s resume flow smoothly.

Details are important when compiling a resumé, but they must short because a resumé should be no longer than two pages, Krebbs said.

Marketing one’s transferable skills can be difficult when writing a resumé. For example, shadowing experience with an industry professional may be more relevant to an employer than simply listing one’s awards and honors, Krebbs said.

“You will absolutely need more than one person to read over your resumé once it’s completed,” she said. “Spelling and grammar errors are the most common mistake we see when students bring

them in to the Career Center. Fixing them is easy, but spotting them can be hard, so have two or three people read your resumé, if possible.”

The prospect of condensing all of one’s relevant life experiences down to a single page or so can be terrifying for some, but one’s resumé is not a direct reflection of one’s self-worth, Ashley Penner, assistant director of student development at the University Career Center, said. Conducting a thorough self-evaluation at the start of the writing process can help people determine what they need to improve on.

“Resumés are meant to eventually lead to a job interview,” Penner said. “They should be thought of as a tool that you can use to get you to (a job interview). Employers are not going to make their decision to hire you just because of your resumé. It’s just a way for you to get your foot in the door.”

Coupling practical experience with tangible skills is what will impress a potential employer the most, she said. Combining one’s experience and skills with the foundational knowledge obtained through academic work makes a person attractive to employers.

The professionals at the University Career Center maintain familiarity with industry standards and are prepared to aid students in their job search when they are preparing to graduate, she said. The Career Center also hosts of number of events, such a career fairs and “mocktail parties,” where students can hone their jobpitch skills.

“A student’s high school experience is one thing we see far too much of when we go over resumés with them,” Penner said. “Everyone (at Tech) is here because they’ve received a high school diploma, so there’s really no need

Mexico quake rescuers race to free girl, survivors MEXICO CITY (AP) — The wiggling fingers of a young girl trapped in the rubble of her collapsed school in Mexico City raised hopes among hundreds of rescuers working furiously Wednesday to try to free her — a drama that played out at dozens of buildings toppled by the powerful earthquake that killed at least 230 people.

But it was the rescue operation at the Enrique Rebsamen school, where 25 people including 21 children perished, that was seen as emblematic of Mexicans’ rush to save survivors before time runs out.

Helmeted workers spotted the girl buried in the debris early Wednesday and shouted to her to move her hand if she could hear.

She did, and a rescue dog was sent inside to confirm

she was alive.

Hours later the crews were still laboring to free her, as images of the rescue effort were broadcast on TV screens nationwide. Workers in neon vests and helmets used ropes, pry-bars and other tools, frequently calling on the anxious parents and others gathered around to be silent while they listened for any other voices from beneath the school.

At one point, the workers lowered a sensitive microphone inside the rubble to scan for any noise or movement. A rescuer said they thought they had located someone, but it wasn’t clear who.

“It would appear they are continuing to find children,” said Carlos Licona, a burly sledge-hammer wielding

volunteer who came to help in any way he could. Asked if that made him optimistic, he said, “I hope so.”

While optimism ran strong, by Wednesday night no living survivors had been found all day, but four corpses were found in the school, volunteer rescue worker Hector Mendez said. Mendez said cameras lowered into the rubble suggested there might be four people still inside, but it wasn’t clear if anyone beside the girl was alive.

It was part of similar efforts at the scenes of dozens of collapsed buildings, where firefighters, police, soldiers and civilians wore themselves out hammering, shoveling, pushing and pulling debris aside to try to reach the living and the dead.

Prison fits Weiner’s sex crime on victim NEW YORK (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner is more than a serial digital philanderer — he's a danger to the public who deserves two years in prison for encouraging a 15-year-old girl to engage in online sex acts, prosecutors told a judge Wednesday.

A Manhattan judge is scheduled to sentence the New York Democrat on Monday for transferring obscene material to a minor.

The government urged the judge to put Weiner's claims of a therapeutic awakening in a context of a man who made similar claims after embarrassing, widely publicized interactions with adult women before encountering the teenager online in January 2016.

Prosecutors said his conduct "suggests a dangerous level of denial and lack of self-control."

"This is not merely a 'sexting' case," prosecutors wrote.

"The defendant did far more than exchange typed words on a lifeless cellphone screen with a faceless stranger. ... Transmitting obscenity to a minor to induce her to engage in sexually explicit conduct by video chat and photo — is far from mere 'sexting.' Weiner's criminal conduct was very serious, and the sentence imposed should reflect that seriousness."

Weiner, 53, said in a submission last week that he's undergoing treatment and is profoundly sorry for subjecting the North Carolina high school student to what his lawyers called his "deep sickness."

Prosecutors attacked some of Weiner's arguments for seeking leniency and noted his full awareness beforehand of his crime, citing his co-sponsorship in January 2007 of a bill to require sex offenders to register their email and instant message addresses with the National Sex Offender Registry.

"While the government does

not contend that Weiner engaged in inappropriate sexual exchanges with other minors or that he is a pedophile, his professed ambivalence toward

the minor victim's age is belied by the defendant's own statements to the court-appointed evaluator during his evaluation," they said.

By mid-afternoon, 52 people had been pulled out alive since Tuesday’s magnitude 7.1 quake, Mexico City’s Social Development Department said, adding in a tweet: “We won’t stop.” Among them were 11 people rescued at the Enrique Rebsamen school, where three people remained missing, two children and an adult. Earlier, journalists saw rescuers pull two small bodies from the rubble, covered in sheets.

More than 24 hours after the collapse, the debris being removed from the school began to change as crews worked their way inside: from huge chunks of brick and concrete, to pieces of wood that looked like remnants of desks and paneling, to a final load that contained a half dozen sparkly hula-hoops.

While it is natural for students to be proud of their high school experience, a future employer may not be so impressed, she said. In high school, students often feel compelled to participate in extracurricular activities, whereas in college everything is voluntary.

Challenging students to focus on their future can sometimes be a difficult task for professionals at the Career Center, Penner said. However, most individuals wish they had prepared for employment

So, in order to have us leave our earthly bodies in a calm, orderly fashion, I want to give everyone some tips on what it is we should be expecting and watching out for. After all, one does not want to be embarrassed by being the only person not ready for the end of the world.

First, look to the heavens over Israel and Jerusalem.

If I were a betting man, I would think we will see the second example, so keep an eye out. Keep in mind, this has never happened before, so predictions of what the sky will look like may be a little off.

Along with the sign, there will be the woman in the constellation Virgo, who will represent Mary and the nation of Israel.

boys will become a winning team and I will actually workout, instead of saying I will workout.

So, there we have it. All the evidence is there, and if that is not enough, then it might also be time to look back on the standings of our souls.

The good thing about all this is there is the possibility we might not have to see next Monday.

All the good folks are going to disappear and all the other ones are going to be left on earth, possibly even to the fiery realms of hell. I know, scary, right?

The good thing about

all this is there is the possibility we might not have to see next Monday. I have a Monday, Wednesday and Friday 8 a.m. class, so honestly, I am kind of hoping the world starts to end. If the rapture overtaking the world is not a valid excuse to miss class, then I do not know what is.

Here is the silver lining in all of this: If the world ends next week then there is not any reason to worry about student loans or student loan debt. That eases much of the stress on my soul.

So, try to get those lastminute love stories in, go buy a car or just be outright irresponsible for once. While all of you other chumps will be doing such things, I will be hiding in my secret bunker. @MichaelCantuDT

Mueller investigators seek Trump: Health documents from the White bill short of votes before deadline House in Russia probe WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team of investigators is seeking information from the White House related to Michael Flynn’s stint as national security adviser and about the response to a meeting with a Russian lawyer that was attended by President Donald Trump’s oldest son, The Associated Press has learned.

Mueller’s office has requested a large batch of documents from the White House and is expected to interview at least a half-dozen current and former aides in the coming weeks. Lawyers for the White House are in the process of trying to cooperate with the document requests.

Though the full scope of the investigation is not clear, the information requests make evident at least some of the areas that Mueller and

his team of prosecutors intend to look into and also reveal a strong interest in certain of Trump’s actions as president.

A person familiar with the investigation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation said investigators want information on, among other topics, a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that Donald Trump Jr. attended with a Russian lawyer as well as on the administration’s response to it.

A statement provided to journalists in July, which the White House has said Trump had a hand in drafting, said the meeting was primarily to discuss a disbanded program that used to allow American adoptions of Russian children, but emails released days later by Trump Jr. show that he arranged the encoun-

revenues generated by the student sales staff with free campus distribution resulting from student service fees.

Investigators also are interested in White House actions involving Flynn, such as what officials knew about an FBI investigation into him and how they responded to word that his Russian contacts had been scrutinized. Flynn was forced out as national security adviser in February after White House officials concluded he had misled them about his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States.

Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates has said she warned White House counsel Don McGahn in January that that deception left Flynn and the White House in a compromised position, and that she expected McGahn to take action.

INTERNSHIPS

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “There are occasions where an employer is not ready to hire an intern,” Killough said, “and they don’t know how to hire an intern, and it is a bad experience, but the students can’t just be 100 percent honest about that with a future employer. So, we train students on how to take out the positives of that situation. If you didn’t really like an internship, tell the future employer ‘I learned a lot about management style and how I liked to be managed.’ What you’re going to do is describe the opposite of the way you were managed, and that way it’s a positive answer.”

Depending on the student and their major, there are several different ways to go about receiving an internship, he said. For internships for journalism majors, there are more specific databases that are likely necessary to use to find one.

For a student who wants an internship in sales or wants some shadow experience, the student can search online at job boards because the search is broader.

For students at Tech, the easiest way to find internships might be to go to www. hireredraiders.ttu.edu and see what is available, he said.

“For other students, their parameters are different,” Killough said. “They might have to be in Houston be-

cause they have housing there for the summer, and they can only work within a 10-mile radius of their home because they don’t have a car. What we do is look around at the businesses around their house and say ‘Here’s what you’re limited to. Now what you need to do is take a resume and pound the pavement and actually go to each of these places and give them (your) resume and ask, will you hire me as an intern?’ There are a lot of different ways.”

Logan Winkelman, associate director of the Career Center, said internships provide a lot of learning experience.

“It’s almost like an extended interview,” Winkelman said. “You get to show

TECH KAHAANI

your potential skills to that employer for a three-month internship, a six-month internship (or) year-long internships. It’s really an opportunity for the student to get relevant experience in their field, and a lot of times, employers hire their interns. It’s a pipeline for full-time employment.”

Internships also help students learn the ins and outs of professionalism, she said. Students learn how to communicate effectively with their colleagues and clients. They also learn how to dress appropriately and the importance of being punctual.

Having an internship improves chances of getting a full-time job offer out of

SEPT. 21, 2017 college, according to a 2014 report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Additionally, the chances of getting job offers out of college increase significantly if an individual’s internship offered payment.

“It’s kind of like your training wheels before the real world,” Winkelman said.

“It’s just a really great opportunity to help you know if that’s the industry and a company that fits your values, and it’s a testing period for you and your employer.”

Another benefit is the network it can create for students, she said, even for the students who have decided they do not want to work in that field.

For example, if a politi-

5

cal science major, who did not want to work in politics, completed a congressional internship, because of a strong network or contacts, the student could potentially get references for a job they wanted.

All of these learning experiences and networking opportunities are valuable to students, she said “I think internships just give the student an opportunity to apply what they have learned in their coursework in real-world settings without committing to a full-time position,” Winkelman said.

“And introducing them to their industry that, in a way, doesn’t seem as overwhelming as a full-time position.” @BrandiAddisonDT

Venezuela violinist may seek asylum in US

MCKENNA THOMPSON/The Daily Toreador

Tahmeed Chowdhury, a freshman interior design major from Bangladesh, practices a routine before Tech Kahanni’s tryouts on Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2017, in the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center. Tech Kahanni is Tech’s first Bollywood dance team at the university.

NEW YORK (AP) — A violinist who became the young face of anti-government protests in Venezuela may soon seek political asylum in the United States.

Wuilly Arteaga became well-known after playing somber renditions of Venezuela’s national anthem while standing amid clouds of tear gas. During one clash with security forces earlier this year, he and his violin were dragged to the ground and he was later thrown in jail, where he said he was beaten.

Now free, he performed Tuesday at Lincoln Center in New York at an event to draw attention to human rights abuses in Venezuela.

The 23-year-old said his priority is to find work in the U.S. rather than re-

quest asylum. But he said he doesn’t feel safe returning home because of death threats he*s received on social media and by phone following his outspoken criticism of President Nicolas Maduro.

“I’ll probably seek asylum but it’s not a decision I’ve made yet,” Arteaga told The Associated Press at the concert. “I’m nervous and worried. I don’t know what’s going to happen with my life.”

Dressed in a T-shirt and hat in the red, yellow and blue colors of the Venezuelan flag, Arteaga performed somber renditions of the classic folk standards that became anthems of the four-month protest movement. Projected on a screen behind him were scenes

from the protests in which more than 120 people died and hundreds more were injured or jailed. Some of the images showed Arteaga, his face bloodied.

“I play the violin for peace, for freedom,” Arteaga told the Lincoln Center crowd.

Arteaga first picked up the violin growing up in the city of Valencia and was a member of Venezuela’s world-famous El Sistema network of youth orchestras and music schools. He dropped out after two years but continued studying on his own. About four years ago he moved to Caracas, busking for his meals by playing on the streets and outside stores.

He arrived in New York on Sunday with little means to support himself.

Fashion Week: Gucci extends news cycle with Rocket Man

Kimmel: Senator ‘lied right to my face’ on health care

MILAN (AP) — Green has been declared the color of Milan Fashion Week, with the fashion chamber promoting sustainability in the trend-driven world of readyto-wear.

Eleven awards will be handed out Sunday evening to honor Italian designers, fashion houses and suppliers that “champion community and social justice, traditional craftsmanship, responsible supply chain management and innovation and technological transformation.”

Milan Fashion Week previews for womenswear looks for next spring and summer, the highlight of the annual fashion calendar, feature 159 collections. The weeklong fashion celebration kicked off with Gucci, No. 21 and Fausto Puglisi and Angel Chen.

Livia Firth, the wife of actor Colin Firth, is presiding over the first Green Fashion Awards, fittingly dubbed the Fashion Oscars, later in the week at the La Scala opera house. Asked what consumers can do to promote sustainability in fashion, she candidly said: “Buy less,” short for eschew fast-fashion for quality.

Italian Fashion Chamber president Carlo Capasa has

been promoting sustainability, urging fashion houses to adopt a code that addresses such issues as water use and green investments.

He acknowledged that the industry in general is “not at all” sustainable at the moment. “That is why we are promoting this,” he said.

The uphill image battle was evident at a protest outside the city’s main Duomo Cathedral, where animal rights activists demonstrated against the use of animal fur in Milan collections.

In a news cycle dominated by U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats against North Korea and references to its leader as “Rocket Man,” it was certainly prescient that Alessandro Michele not only included a suit fitting of a rocket man for his latest Gucci collection, but dedicated a capsule collection to Elton John, whose hits include the pop song of the same name.

For the rocket man, there were oversized teardropshaped shoulders on a pink jumpsuit with yellow stars.

Since his Gucci solo debut in 2015, Michele has maintained a profile as the Milan fashion world’s darling and innovator.

Jimmy Kimmel sharply criticized U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy on his late-night show, saying the Louisiana Republican “lied right to my face” by going back on his word to ensure any health care overhaul passes a test named for the host.

Kimmel said that a health care bill co-sponsored by Cassidy fails the “Jimmy Kimmel test.” The phrase was coined by Cassidy after Kimmel announced in May that his baby son, Billy, had surgery for a birth defect and argued that all American families should be able to get life-saving medical care.

“This new bill actually does pass the Jimmy Kimmel test, but a different Jimmy Kimmel test,” Kimmel said on Tuesday’s show.

“With this one, your child with a pre-existing condition

will get the care he needs if, and only if, his father is Jimmy Kimmel.”

Cassidy touted his Kimmel test in a May interview soon after the host’s announcement about his son, arguing that annual and lifetime caps on the amount spent on an individual’s health care was unnecessary.

Kimmel later invited him on his show, where Cassidy reiterated his stance on spending caps and told the host he believed all Americans should have access to regular medical care.

On Tuesday, Kimmel said in his monologue that the bill introduced by Cassidy and fellow Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina not only fails the “Jimmy Kimmel test,” but also what he called the “Bill Cassidy test.”

“This guy, Bill Cassidy,

just lied right to my face,” Kimmel said.

The Graham-Cassidy bill leaves the question of caps up to the states, which Kimmel said means “there will be lifetime caps in many states.” Kimmel’s comments echoed a statement released Monday by a coalition of 16 patient groups, including the American Heart Association and the March of Dimes. The statement said the Graham-Cassidy bill would “potentially open the door” to caps.

Kimmel said Cassidy should join a bipartisan group of senators working on a health care overhaul. If not, he said, Cassidy should “stop using my name because I don’t want my name on it.”

“There’s a new Jimmy Kimmel test for you,” Kimmel said. “It’s called a lie

detector test. You’re welcome to come by the studio and take it anytime.”

Kimmel also argued the bill would leave more without health care coverage and raise premiums.

Cassidy’s spokesman didn’t immediately return a request for comment Wednesday from The Associated Press.

The senator told CNN on Wednesday that he was sorry Kimmel “does not understand” the bill. Cassidy said more people will be covered under his bill “than under the status quo.”

Senate Republicans are facing a Sept. 30 deadline to pass a repeal of former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act and avoid a filibuster from Democrats. President Donald Trump supports the plan.

High reflects on blocked punt against Arizona State

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

With 1:07 left in the first half, the Arizona State Sun Devils were set to punt on 4th and 8, on Saturday, Sept. 16, at Jones AT&T Stadium.

When Sun Devils redshirt s o p h o mo r e pu n t e r M i chael Sleep-Dalton went to punt, senior wide receiver Ja’Deion High knew he was going to block it after the team strategized and game-planned for Arizona State’s blocking.

High went unblocked when he made the play, and the blocked punt was then recovered by Tech on Arizona State’s 27-yard line, leading to a scoring drive that put Tech up 3517 against the Sun Devils, according to Tech Athletics.

“I told (senior wide receiver) Dylan (Cantrell) on the sideline that if he’s going to go let me block the punt, then I’m going to go

block it,” High said. “I was already ready. I was telling everybody that I was going to block it.”

Te c h h a s n o t h a d a blocked punt since 2013, when current Detroit Lions defensive lineman Kerry Hyder blocked a punt against Oklahoma State, according to Tech Athletics. The block also helped High receive Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week honor.

H i g h ’s b l o c k e d p u n t was also a game-changer for the Red Raiders, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said.

It gave Tech a bigger lead over Arizona State going into halftime. “(High is a) guy we can put in any wide receiver position,” Kingsbury said.

“He plays special teams.

He does it all, I can’t say enough good things about him and how hard he works and how much he means to our team.”

Watt has broken finger as Texans prepare for Pats HOUSTON (AP) — J.J. Watt brushed off the fact that he’ll be playing against the New England Patriots on Sunday with a broken left ring finger.

“It’s not going to bother me too much. It’s broken but not bad,” he said wiggling the bandaged digit.

“It’s just a finger, if it was anything else it would be a problem.”

Some might cringe at the thought of playing football with a broken finger, but after missing 13 games last season following his second

back surgery, this injury doesn’t seem as if it’s a big deal to Houston’s star defensive end.

He noted that the break hasn’t really made that much of a difference because he already had a problem with that finger before he broke it in Houston’s season-opening loss to Jacksonville. “(It) actually doesn’t bother me a whole lot because I haven’t had use of that finger for a long time because I tore a tendon on it a few years back on it,” he said.

Texas Tech senior wide receiver Ja’Deion High runs out of bounds as he gets tripped by Sam Houston State corner back Mikell Everette during Tech’s 59-45 win over Sam Houston State at Jones AT&T Stadium on Sept. 5, 2015. High will play with the Red Raiders on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2017 at Houston. ceiver at Hereford High School where he received first team All-District honors, according to Tech Ath-

letics. In 2013, he finished the season with 60 receptions for 860 yards.

High entered his fresh-

man year as a walk-on, was redshirted, and played mostly on special teams the following year. In 2015, he

played in nine games and started in five of them, according to Tech Athletics.

That season, he had eight receptions for 111 yards.

Last year, he had his first collegiate receiving touchdown in the season home opener against Stephen F. Austin when senior quarterback Nic Shimonek threw a 9-yard touchdown pass, according to Tech Athletics. However, he suffered an injury three games into the season.

“He knows every single position from the outside to the inside,” junior wide receiver Keke Coutee said.

“He’s moved to wides this year, and he’s picked it up great. So, High’s a guy that can play any position on the field, and he’s great on special teams.

He knows what he’s doing there, as well, and he got player of the week this week, so he’s a big contributor.” @JackDensmore_DT

Oklahoma St. offensive line getting job done Oklahoma State’s highflying offense is among the nation’s best, and the guys up front have been a big part of its success.

The sixth-ranked Cowboys rank third nationally in total offense with 607 yards per game and fourth nationally with 54 points per contest heading into Saturday’s Big 12 opener at home against TCU. Quarterback Mason Rudolph has emerged as a Heisman Trophy contender and James Washington (367 yards, three touchdowns) is one of the nation’s top receivers, in part because the line has given them time to connect.

Rudolph is among the nation’s leaders in passing efficiency, and he’s only been sacked three times in three games.

Last week, he passed for 497 yards and five touchdowns in a 59-21 win at Pittsburgh .

“As an offensive lineman, that’s always your mentality is that no one’s going to touch your quarterback,” center Brad Lundblade said.

“We know that if we give him time that we have plenty of guys that can make plays.”

Tackle Zach Crabtree, a senior, was a preseason first-team All-Big 12 choice. He leads the team with 37 career starts, including 32 straight.

Lundblade started every game the past two seasons and has made 27 straight in all. Guards Marcus Keyes and Larry Williams entered the year with starting experience

and transfer Aaron Cochran, a left tackle, started 16 games at Cal. “Having that experience is huge, especially at a position like offensive line,” Lundblade said.

“A lot of it is about camaraderie and being able to trust one another and having that continuity and trust along the entire offensive line.”

TCU coach Gary Patterson said the Cowboys play a physical brand of football. “ Yo u ’ v e g o t a g r e a t nucleus of people,” Patterson said. “They lost a couple of offensive linemen, but they picked up a Cal transfer that’s starting at left tackle for them.

Center ’s smart. You’re not going to go fool them very often. You’ve got to go play.”

Oklahoma State established its running game well enough in wins over Tulsa and South Alabama that Pitt tried to focus on stopping the ground game.

The Cowboys were held to 104 yards on 35 carries, but they passed for 572 yards and five touchdowns.

“Whenever they take something away the other people have to step up and make plays and that’s what we did, and the Oline — they did a great job blocking for Mason,” said receiver Jalen McCleskey, who caught seven passes for 162 yards and three touchdowns against Pittsburgh.

“Mason made great throws, the receivers ran great routes, and the coaching staff, they did a great job of putting the plays in and helping us succeed.”

MSU player dies after injury during game WICHITA FALLS (AP) — A 19-year-old Midwestern State football player has died after suffering a neck injury while making a tackle during a home game last weekend.

School President Suzanne Shipley on Wednesday released a statement mourning the death of cornerback Robert Grays of Houston.

Shipley says Grays died Tuesday at a hospital in his hometown.

He was critically in-

jured during a game Saturday in Wichita Falls.

Athletics department spokesman Blake Barington says Grays suffered a neck injury while making a tackle in the fourth quarter of a 35-13 victory over Texas A&M-Kingsville.

Grays was taken by ambulance to a Wichita Falls hospital, then transported to Houston.

Counselors were available at Michigan State University a Division II in the Lone Star Conference.

Cowboys must improve to rebound from loss I

t is no secret to anyone who watched the game this weekend, but the Denver Broncos decimated the Dallas Cowboys in the game on Sunday, Sept. 17, winning 42-17 in a dominating performance, where the Broncos controlled both sides of the ball.

For the Cowboys, this loss hurts. The last time the Cowboys lost as badly was in 2013 against the New Orleans Saints, where they fell 49-17 to an MVP-caliber Drew Brees.

This time around, it was the Broncos Super Bowl-caliber defense that disgruntled and dismantled the Cowboys.

Many are questioning if the Cowboys will be able

Austin Watts is a senior electronic media & communication major from Sweetwater.

to recover from this loss, and it is a valid question.

I think they will return to their 2016 form, but it will take improvement on both sides of the ball for the Cowboys if they want to return to their 13-win form.

Firstly, the Cowboys will have to improve their offense. Thankfully, they will not be playing the Broncos defense again this season, and there are not many teams that have cornerbacks as good as

All-Pros Chris Harris Jr. and Aqib Talib.

In future games, the Cowboys’ wide receivers will have less competition, a n d C o w b o y s q u a r t e rback Dak Prescott should be able to move the ball downfield more quickly and with ease.

With the Broncos’ great cornerbacks, they were able to “stack the box” and commit seven or eight players to defending the run. This shutdown the Cowboys’ running game entirely, holding running back Ezekiel Elliott to only eight yards on the game.

If the Cowboys want to win, they will have to improve their running attack, and Elliott must do

better with his carries, as to take some pressure off Prescott’s shoulders.

Defensively, the Cowboys need to get healthy and fast. The Cowboys defense was all too reminiscent to a Texas Tech fan, with the Cowboys playing backups and rookies, much akin to the defense Tech fielded in 2016.

You cannot win football games when you are playing backups against some of the better receivers in the league.

The Cowboys are relying on veteran cornerbacks Orlando Scandrick and Nolan Carroll to return from injury. They are also hoping to have rookie cornerback Chidobe Awuz-

ie come back from injury.

If they do not get a healthy cornerback soon, it might be time for the Cowboys to pursue a veteran cornerback in a trade.

Without a true starter at cornerback, the Cowboys defense will struggle against the better receivers in the league, and if their offense does not return to form the Cowboys are in for a rough year with their deficiencies on both sides of the ball.

Across the entire defense, they will need to cut back on penalties and missed tackles. Too many Broncos drives led to points because the defense either failed to make a tackle for a stop or com-

mitted penalties that gave the Broncos first downs.

Mistakes like these kill morale for the team and wear out the defense’s stamina. The Cowboys will have to reduce mistakes if they plan to keep their defense off the field this season.

If the Cowboys want to win games and be a contender this year, they need to improve on offense, and get healthy on defense.

To play some of the best teams in the NFL and go deep in the playoffs, you have to have continuity on both sides of the ball.

Right now, the Cowboys do not have that. @AustinWattsDT

Tech to face Seton Hall for Under Armour Reunion

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

The Texas Tech men’s basketball team will play against Seton Hall at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 30, in Madison Square Garden in New York City for the Under Armour Reunion doubleheader.

This will be the second season in a row that both Under Armour and Madison Square Garden will join for a college basketball partnership, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

“Our basketball program is looking forward to competing in the Under Armour Reunion double-

header at Madison Square Garden,” Tech Athletics director Kirby Hocutt said in the release.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for our student athletes to play in a truly historic venue and to experience a great city. We thank Under Armour for our continued partnership.”

The Red Raiders have not played in Madison Square Garden since the 2005-06 season.

Throughout history, Tech has two victories inside the arena including a 71-61 win over Minnesota and a 65-54 win over Utah, according to the release.

The win against Min-

nesota in 2003 gave Tech a third-place finish in the National Invitation Tournament. Also, the win against Utah was during the 2003 NIT Season Tipoff event.

In the 2010 NIT first round, the Red Raiders defeated Seton Hall, 87-69, the only other previous game between the two teams, according to the release.

Five Red Raiders reached double digits with former Red Raider John Roberson scoring 22 points and former Red Raider D’walyn Roberts registering a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Tech had the 26th-largest average attendance

increase from the 201516 season to the 2016-17 season, according to the release. For this year, season ticket sales have already surpassed last year’s season ticket sales.

Season tickets can be purchased with payment plans that start at $199.

Ti c k e t s c a n b e p u rchased at the Tech Ticket Office on the east side of Jones AT&T Stadium, over the phone by calling 806-742-8324 and online at www.TexasTech.com, according to the release.

Fast frosh Frogs: Reagor, Snell speedy impacts at No. 16 TCU FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU coach Gary Patterson was getting frustrated with his linebackers during preseason practice when they had pursuit angles on Kenedy Snell, and then were unable to tackle the 5-foot-8 freshman running back.

“Now I saw why we didn’t catch him,” Patterson said.

“He can really get up and go.”

Snell turned a short pass into a 71-yard sprint untouched down the sideline against SMU for a touchdown in the last game for the 16th-ranked Horned Frogs (3-0). In that same game, receiver Jalen Reagor made a leaping catch in the end zone on the final play of the first half to put TCU ahead to stay.

“The guy’s a 6-8 high jumper, a 26-foot long jumper,” Patterson said. “So he’s

got some springs.”

Those skilled freshmen, who at this time last year were playing for Waxahachie High School less than an hour from the TCU campus, could now be getting the ball more with the Frogs heading into Big 12 play.

TCU’s conference opener is Saturday at sixth-ranked Oklahoma State (3-0).

“That’s a huge boost when we’re blocking, we see them run by or catch a pass,” senior left tackle Joseph Noteboom said. “It’s just excitement to know they’re freshmen but they’re not playing like it.”

Snell scored the first touchdown of the season for TCU, taking a short pass from Kenny Hill, dodging a defender and then reversing field on the 13-yard play in the opener against Jackson

State. Reagor, a four-star recruit who initially committed to Oklahoma before switching to TCU, gained 32 yards on his first college catch that night.

Patterson, who doesn’t let his freshmen talk to the media, said that like with any youngsters, the Frogs will “just slowly but surely work” to give Snell and Reagor more plays and certain plays to utilize their skills — such as the half-ending play against SMU that Reagor preceded on the sideline by telling Hill to just throw it up —and he’d go get it.

It was an impressive play, even though four defenders stood and watched without making any effort to bat away the 38-yard TD pass.

“That definitely makes up for last week,” Hill said with a smile, referring to what

would have been a 32-yard TD at Arkansas if the wideopen Reagor hadn’t dropped a pass while trying to make a one-handed grab.

Yes, there will still be some teachable moments for the youngsters.

“He still needs to play every play, as far as doing the right things,” Patterson said. “Not just the plays that are coming to you. You’ve still got to block, you’ve still got to run the right route, you still have to do all the things you need to do that freshmen need to learn about.”

Not only where they football teammates last season at Waxahachie, Snell and Reagor were part of the 100- and 200-meter relay teams there. Snell was the Texas Class 5A runner-up in the 100-meter dash at 10.48 seconds.

FOOTBALL

Gilmore, Tech prepares for return to Houston

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

Sophomore defensive lineman Lonzell Gilmore has been waiting since he came to Texas Tech to play college football in front of his family.

N o w, w i t h t h e n e x t game being played against the Houston Cougars at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept.

23, in Houston, he will get that chance.

Gilmore is a native of Spring, which is approximately 20 miles outside of Houston, according to Tech Athletics.

His mother, who will likely be in attendance, could not go to many of his high school games because she works as a manager at Kohl’s and works the night shift, Gilmore said. This will also be her first college football game.

“It’s a blessing, because this is the first time that all of my family together could come to the game,” Gilmore said. “Nine times out of 10, my mom’s either working, and she can’t go because she’s got something else to do. So, to go in front of my mom, I can’t wait.”

Among his friends and family, there are also some old high school rivals he will get the chance to compete against. Houston sophomore defensive tackle Ed Oliver went to Westfield High School, and Gilmore went to Spring High School, according to ESPN. Both schools are district rivals because they are both part of the Spring Independent School District.

Last year, Ed Oliver recorded five sacks for 35 yards for the Cougars and three forced fumbles, according to Houston Athletics. He also recorded 66 total tackles, of which 47 were solo tackles. This season, Ed Oliver has already recorded 17 total tackles, with 14 being solo tackles, and two forced fumbles.

Gilmore said his last high school football game was against Westfield at Houston’s TDECU Stadium, and his team lost by five points in the playoffs, which effectively knocked them out after going four rounds in. “(Ed Oliver) played running back in high school,

In the upcoming game against Houston, Tech’s defense is working hard to gain another victory. too,” Gilmore said. “It wasn’t scary or nothing, it’s football.

It’s a blessing going against Ed Oliver. Sometimes in the summer or spring time, I usually work out with him doing foot working and just watching him develop and

get into his groove.”

One of the offensive lineman he will face this weekend, senior Marcus Oliver, went to Westfield, as well.

sophomore defensive back Willie Sykes, was his teammate during high school also, according to Tech Athletics. Sykes recorded his first interception with Tech in the 56-10 win over Eastern Washington on Saturday,

Sept. 2. He has registered three total tackles this season. Gilmore also currently has three total tackles, which includes one tackle for a loss.

Sykes made plays in high school, as well, and intercepted a pass to help Spring win the game against Midway (Waco) High School, Gilmore said. He and Sykes are among 20 Red Raiders from the Houston area, who will be returning to their hometown for the game.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said the morale for the game against the Cougars should be at an alltime high as some of the players are from the area and are ready to show out for their hometown.

“I’m sure they’ll be excited. Those kids from Houston always take a lot of pride in being from that area, and they’ll have family there, and it’ll be a rocking atmosphere,” Kingsbury said. “I’m sure there will be a bunch of Tech fans, as well. I don’t know if there will be a performance bump, but I know they’ll be highly motivated.” @JackDensmore_DT

Texas offensive woes start with absent run game Texas cities, Philly join Overwatch league AUSTIN, (AP) — Tom Herman shed no tears after losing in overtime to Southern California.

His emotional outlets, he says, were a couple of “primal screams” once the team got home.

There may be a more of those echoing around Austin as Herman and his staff try to rebuild a running game behind an offensive line struggling with injuries.

In their two losses, the Longhorns are averaging 83 yards on the ground and just 2.5 yards per carry. In both of those games, Texas (1-2) hasn’t scored an offensive touchdown in the first half.

“We’ve got to figure out what we are doing on offense,”

Herman said Monday. “That problem needs to get fixed this week and next. We’ve spent a lot of time talking about how we are going to run better.”

Puzzling to some has been Texas’ reluctance to use junior tailback Chris Warren III , a 250-pound battering ram who averages nearly 6.6 yards per carry over his career and ran for 166 yards in a win over San Jose State. In losses to Maryland and USC, Warren got just 10 carries for 46 yards.

Herman was asked why Warren didn’t get the ball more often against the Trojans. Against Maryland, an

early 27-7 deficit forced Texas to abandon its running game, but the Longhorns never trailed USC by more than seven. Warren carried the ball just once in the second half against USC and caught one pass for 11 yards in the fourth quarter.

Herman noted that Warren averaged only 3.8 yards on his four carries against USC. By that measure, Warren would have scored from the USC 3-yard line in overtime. Instead, the play call had freshman quarterback Sam Ehlinger try to power his way in over left tackle and his fumble set up the Trojans’ winning field goal . Texas’ first

drive of the game was stopped on 4th-and-2 when, instead of testing USC’s strength with Warren, Ehlinger was dropped for a 3-yard loss.

“We’ve got to find a way to get (Warren) more yards, but in the middle of a game when you see how that is shaking out, the definition of insanity is repeatedly performing the same act and expecting different results. To keep going back to 3.8 yards per carry, I think there would be some criticism there, too.

‘Tom, why did you give Chris Warren the ball 20 times if he only had 70 yards?’” Herman said.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Dave Scott is quick to note he wasn’t at Comcast Spectacor when the company sold the Philadelphia 76ers six years ago.

The NBA franchise Comcast Spectacor sold for about $280 million in October 2011 was valued this year by Forbes at $800 million and could probably sell for more — the Houston Rockets recently sold for $2.2 billion.

Scott, the chief executive officer at Comcast Spectacor, joined the company in 2013 following a 20-year

tenure at Comcast Cable.

“I know (76ers owner) Josh Harris is a happy camper with what’s going on,” Scott said, with a laugh.

“But we have a real good relationship with those guys.”

Comcast Spectacor owns the Philadelphia Flyers and the home arena for the NBA and NHL teams, the Wells Fargo Center.

Now, the company owns an esports franchise. Philadelphia and teams from Dallas and Houston have joined the inaugural season of the esports Overwatch League.
