Nigeria: Militants kill students in attack POTISKUM, Nigeria (AP) — Suspected Islamic extremists attacked an agricultural college in the dead of night, gunning down dozens of students as they slept in dormitories and torching classrooms, the school’s provost said, reporting the latest violence in northeastern Nigeria’s ongoing Islamic uprising.

As many as 50 students may have been killed in the assault that began at about 1 a.m.

Sunday in rural Gujba, Provost Molima Idi Mato of Yobe State College of Agriculture, told The Associated Press.

“They attacked our students while they were sleeping in their hostels, they opened fire at them,” he said.

He said he could not give an exact death toll as security forces still are recovering bodies of students mostly aged between 18 and 22.

Announcement looming, Davis pushes ed funding AUSTIN (AP) — Four days before she is expected to announce her bid for governor, Democrat Wendy Davis on Sunday called for more state spending on education, roads and water to keep the Texas economy strong.

The Fort Worth state senator said she opposes raising sales or property tax rates, but thinks the Legislature needs to review $35 billion in tax exemptions currently on the books. The state budget is roughly $100 billion. Davis also did not rule out raising state fees or other taxes.

“We need to step back and be thoughtful and smart about how we make our revenue and spending decisions,” Davis said. “If we fail to come together and do the right thing for public education and higher education, this wonderful story we tell about the health and vibrancy of the Texas economy is likely going to crumble.”

Texas Tech Students, Lubbock residents and people from all around came to see the various artists play at this year’s JAB Fest on Saturday night.

A total of six artists played at JAB Fest, including the Dirty Guv’nahs, Wheeler Brothers, Uncle Lucius, The Dirty River Boys, Wade Bowen and Josh Abbott Band. The concert was located at Lone Star Amphitheater.

The gates opened for the concert at 4 p.m.

As the crowds waited in anticipation for the headliner Josh Abbot Band to come on, they enjoyed the various opening acts.

reached the stage the amphitheater was almost full. When Josh Abbott walked on, there was little room in front of the stage.

Many people looked forward to the concert including Meredith Wilemon, a sophomore business major from Wichita Falls, who had planned on attending the concert for two weeks.

Wilemon said she is a fan of Josh Abbott and she found out about JAB Fest because she follows Josh Abbott.

“I love country music,” said Wilemon.

Loving country music is one of the main reasons various people went to JAB Fest.

Whitney Sizemore, a freshman exercise and sport sciences major from Wichita Falls, said she went to JAB Fest because she loves country music, but mainly because she is a fan of Josh Abbott.

“I love all their music,” Sizemore said.

Josh Abbott Band hosted the event and invited all the bands. According to the official Josh Abbott Band website, Abbott attended Tech and the university is where he first decided he wanted to be a country artist. Abbott started writing songs in 2004.

Rachel McLelland, a freshman nursing major from Albuquerque, N.M., said she saw Josh Abbott Band play at the Tech vs. Texas Christian game and decided to come to JAB Fest.

McLelland said Abbott’s performance at the TCU game was electrifying and she wanted to see that same energy again.

“I wanted to see them in concert again,” said McLelland.

JAB Fest did have the electrifying effect that McLelland hoped for. Abbott played many of his songs including, “She’s Like Texas,” “Taste” and

“Oh, Tonight.” During most of his songs, the crowd joined in, singing along to every word.

For some, JAB Fest was a whole new experience. That’s how it was for Felipe Soares, who is on the men’s tennis team and is a sophomore from Santos Sao Paulo, Brazil.

“This is a new experience for me because I’m from Brazil, to see how country music is,” Soares said.

JAB Fest was Soares’ first time at a country concert.

Whether JAB Fest was their first country concert or their 100th, the crowd enjoyed the bands that performed at JAB Fest.

“I enjoyed it very much,” said Morgan Thomi, a sophomore cell and molecular biology major from Dallas. ➤➤bhill@dailytoreador.com

Three members of Student Government Association ran a booth outside the Goddard Range and Wildlife Management building Friday to interact with the student body and field any questions or suggestions students may have.

The booth was covered with free pens and small, white strips of paper for suggestions. Students gathered throughout the day to list their concerns and

find out more information about what SGA does for Texas Tech.

“We were asked some solid questions,” Taylor Shackelford, a sophomore animal science major from Prosper, said.

“A lot of them had to do with what exactly we have jurisdiction over in regards to student life. Some students just wanted a free pen, but that was used as a segue to encourage students to think of a suggestion to write down for our drop box.”

Members of Habitat for Humanity gathered Saturday outside Walgreens to wash cars as a fundraiser.

Despite chilly conditions, members were out with signs selling people on $5 car washes to help raise money for their program. The car wash was hosted in the Walgreens parking lot on the corner of 34th Street and Indiana Avenue.

“We decided to wash cars just for our fundraiser to promote Tech Habitat and

what they do,” said co-president Angie Fealy, a junior architecture and civil engineering major from Vancouver, Canada.

“We tried to get most of the Habitat community out.”

The organization does fundraising events such as car washes, but mainly builds houses in Lubbock for those in need, she said.

“Tech Habitat volunteers to build houses for the less fortunate in Lubbock,” Fealy said.

The first signs of fall weather didn’t deter families and children of all ages from attending the inaugural Hike4Health. The event lasted from 9 a.m. until noon Saturday at Lubbock Lake Landmark and featured organizations with educational booths both inside the museum and outside along the hiking trail.

“The best thing about this event is the diversity,” Jenny Lloyd-Strovas, a biology instructor at Texas Tech, said.

She said the event, which featured 16 organizations with booths, was family- and child-centered in an attempt to engage families to become healthier and environmentally conscious.

“Our health, and the health of our children is dependent on healthy ecosystems,” LloydStovas said.

She said she was excited to see families come out and learn about topics ranging from local wildlife to nutrition.

“People heard about this idea and bought ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

into it enough to come out here and do this on their additional time,” Lloyd-Strovas said about the organizations that participated.

She said this year was a pilot year for the program and coordinators were looking into getting grants to fund the event in years to come.

Susan Rowe, the education program manager for Lubbock Lake National Historical Monument, said she and Lloyd-Strovas got together and discussed the idea for starting an outdoor, family-centered activity.

“We wanted to create something that would get kids outside,” Rowe said.

She said the event was family-oriented to bring attention to and combat childhood obesity, as well as encourage children to become more environmentally aware for the future.

“I really like the idea of all these different entities coming together for a common goal, to develop this community-wide event,” Rowe said.

One organization, the South Plains Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, brought native birds of prey to show to the public.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The three SGA members, Shackelford, Holton Westbrook and Jordan Vogel, are senators from the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. Ag Council consists of every student organization within CASNR. The three SGA senators regularly attend the meetings to gain new ideas and answer questions about news on the forefront of the student body.

SGA chose to set up the booth at the given time and location after the most recent Ag Council meeting on Sept. 25 to inform the organizations about the first mobile office of the year.

“We fielded each question pitched,” Shackelford said. “We told students how we handle and write legislation for anything regarding student life at Texas Tech and their overall experience in college. That could be anything from an actual bill adding parking spots to a parking lot, for example, or congratulating clubs and organizations on a job well done through a

congratulatory resolution.”

Students were encouraged to write down suggestions on the white sheets of paper. Shackelford said they received many suggestions and also talked to students who thought SGA was doing a great job. Those students were still encouraged to write a suggestion, but based on any problem they had seen in their career at Tech.

Students wrote their names and emails on the suggestions so a senator taking on their project would be able to email them and keep them up-to-date with the progress. All suggestions entered are now in the prior stages of being adopted as official business by the student senate.

“The suggestion strips were well received and though students were busy they seemed to be happy to take time and speak with us about what makes a good suggestion and how to put their concern down on paper,” Shackelford said. “We love interacting with new people and gaining fresh thoughts and knowledge. Engagement is a big deal to SGA and today was just a small taste of how we are planning to improve that throughout this

49th session.”

The SGA Senators encouraged freshmen who were unfamiliar with SGA and students who want to get involved to join them in their biweekly student senate meetings.

These meetings are open to the public and recorded for anyone.

The senators said they fielded many questions regarding the application process and term of office for a senator.

Shackelford said the application process requires a campaign similar to a real political race and a senator’s term is one academic year.

“Many times I tried to encourage freshmen not to wait until the spring to get involved with student government but rather to join our many freshman leadership programs such as but not limited to, Freshman Council, Freshman Leadership Association, Complex Council or maybe Residence Halls Association,” Shackelford said. “Throughout the entire day students were also encouraged to visit our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages to stay up to date on where SGA was on campus every week.”

Gail Barnes, the education director for the rehabilitation center, said she does programs through the Lubbock Lake Landmark every year.

She said she encouraged Hike4Health participants to recognize native wildlife as natural resources that need protection.

“I hope that people take back that (the birds) are part of our natural resources and know how to recognize them and enjoy them,” Barnes said.

Mark Wallace, a representative with the Department of Natural Resources Management, said the department co-sponsored the event.

“We think this is a good idea to get the public more aware of the benefits of the outdoors, which is, of course, what we’re all about,” he said.

you can go out and do something for four hours on a Saturday and actually help someone,” she said.

For low-income families, the organization provides a much cheaper way to build a house.

“We build houses for lowincome families who qualify,” Marek said.

Families who qualify don’t get the house for free, but they don’t pay for the labor and don’t pay interest on the house, he said. The families only pay for the materials used.

“What we do as an organization is provide that labor,” he said.

Habitat for Humanity provides its members a way to help

out people in need but also experience with architecture, which is why Marek said he looked into joining the group.

He said a lot of what the members do is onsite building and he is getting a great experience with building houses.

“I love this organization because I love their message,” Marek said.

The message is the idea of helping someone every weekend and making a difference in their life, he said.

The group has other fundraising events during the school year, Marek said. During Raider Welcome, the members did a series of builds.

Wallace said the event raised awareness about the environment and also about resources Lubbock has.

He said events such as the Hike4Health give people who are interested in the environment and nature a chance to connect with others who share their interests.

The department sponsored a booth showcasing urban wildlife research and how it relates to home prices and neighborhoods.

“We wanted to create an event that encourages children and their families to get outside and engage with nature,” Philip Jarrett, an event coordinator and Howard Hughes Medical Institute scholar, said.

Jarrett said West Texas lacks the kind of community involvement found in other parts of Texas, and the Hike4Health program was an attempt to bring more awareness to the community.

He said he hopes to see the event grow in size next year.

Monica Rubino attended the Hike4Health with her two young children, Jaylynn Acuna and Azaliah Montano.

Rubino, a diabetic, said she heard about the event on the radio and wanted to get her daughters to start learning how to be healthy.

“I like it, I like it. It’s gotten us up and out of the house,” she said.

Both of the young girls said their favorite part of the event was getting to touch the snakes, which were brought by the Tech Department of Biological Sciences.

Participants in the event received passports at the start of the trail for recording points based upon attendance at the educational booths. The points were redeemed at the end of the hike for prizes, according to the Hike4Health website.

Honors College students form A Separate Peace

By TYLER DORNER Staff Writer

Two Honors College students are making headway musically by releasing their new album, putting music on iTunes and playing at a local coffee shop.

Sophomores Timothy Howard and Matt McCutchen started playing together their sophomore year of high school and formed their band, A Separate Peace, soon after.

They released their first album, called “Specter,” on Sept. 10, which is available across the Web. Howard said the two met in their hometown of Midland in seventh grade and started playing in a church band. They originally were not very good, Howard said, but enjoyed playing together.

“Matt and I’s style of music seemed to work really well together,” said Howard, a business management major.

They named the band after the book “A Separate Peace” by John Knowles. The novel, as well as the album, is focused on losing a friend because of jealousy, Howard said.

It also is a symbol of their faith.

The band appeared to be coming to an end when McCutchen was accepted into the Honors College and the Terry Scholars at Texas Tech and Howard was set on attending the University of Oklahoma, Howard said. McCutchen then convinced Howard to apply late to the Honors College at Tech, where he was accepted despite his belief he wouldn’t be.

“The Honors College,” Howard said, “is what made me come to Tech.”

He said he credits the Honors College with saving the band and allowing them to continue playing music together.

Part of the growing pains of high school and the transition to college manifested itself into the EP called “Specter,” Howard said.

“The second definition of specter in the Webster’s dictionary is something that haunts your mind,” he said. “It’s an EP about memories.”

Howard said the recording process took around nine months, dating back to December 2012.

McCutchen said this process was long and grueling.

US bracing for government shutdown affecting multiple national programs WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States braced for a partial government shutdown Tuesday that no one in the seat of democracy seems to want or believes is good for the country, yet the only point of agreement in Washington is that the other political party is to blame.

If the midnight Monday deadline passes without a deal, a shutdown would affect a wide range of programs, from national parks to the Pentagon.

President Barack Obama and the leader of the Democratic-controlled Senate dismissed a late developing plan approved early Sunday by the GOP-run House that would delay by a year key part of the new health care law and repeal a tax on medical devices, in exchange for avoiding a shutdown.

The White House promised a veto and said Republicans were pursuing “a narrow ideological agenda ... and pushing the government toward shutdown.”

Lawmakers spoke past one another on the Sunday talk shows, often rehashing the turbulent fights about the health overhaul that the Supreme Court has upheld, as the nation edged toward the first government shutdown in 17 years.

“I agree we should have this debate, but we shouldn’t connect it to a government shutdown. That’s the fundamental disagreement between the two sides here,” said Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va. “We’re not going to pass it because it is wrong to do a shutdown of government as the lever to make a change.”

The House’s near party-line vote was 231-192, shifting the focus to the Senate less than 48 hours before government funds would run dry.

Even if that happens, some critical services such patrolling the borders, inspecting meat and controlling air traffic would continue.

Social Security benefits would be sent and the Medicare and Medicaid health care programs for the elderly and poor would continue to pay doctors and hospitals.

The Senate was not scheduled to meet until midafternoon Monday, 10 hours before a shutdown would begin, and even some Republicans said privately they feared that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., held the advantage in the fast-approaching end game.

If so, a House GOP rank and file that includes numerous tea party allies would have to choose between triggering a shutdown or coming away empty-handed from their latest confrontation with Obama.

“We will not shut the government down,” said the No. 3 House GOP leader, Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California. “If we have to negotiate a little longer, we will continue to negotiate,” he added without elaboration.

He suggested the House would “get back together in enough time, send another provision not to shut the government down, but to fund it, and it will have a few other options in there for the Senate to look at again.”

McCarthy said the House would not relent on demands for “funda-

mental changes into ‘Obamacare’ that can protect the economy.”

Republicans said the law was costing jobs and driving up costs.

“The American people overwhelmingly reject ‘Obamacare,’” said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. “They understand it’s not working. The only people who aren’t listening to the argument are the career politicians in Washington. It’s Harry Reid who wants to use brute political force.”

Obama has said he won’t let the law, his chief domestic achievement, be gutted. Democrats say Republicans are obsessed with attacking the overhaul, which is aimed at providing health coverage for millions of uninsured Americans, and the president.

The House bill did contain new concessions from Republicans, who have criticized the requirements imposed on insurers.

They said their measure would leave intact most parts of the law that have taken effect, including requiring insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions and to let families’ plans cover children up to age 26.

An exception: Insurers would be allowed to deny contraception coverage based on religious or moral objections.

“Recording sucks,” said the mechanical engineering major.

“It’s really difficult.”

The struggles in the process included going through songs multiple times and losing files on the computer, McCutchen said.

The process was prolonged because of their dedication to academics, Howard said.

In the end, all the work was worth the nine-month struggle, McCutchen said.

“It was something we were really, really proud of and really excited about to see these songs that you have been playing for years develop and grow and have this full-band sound,” McCutchen said.

The EP went on iTunes, Amazon, Google and Shazam with the help of a third-party website.

Howard said the process was surprisingly easy.

Only five songs were on the EP, but they all had meaning to them, Howard said.

“The EP almost tells a cohesive story from beginning to end with characters and struggles and a resolution at the end,” he said.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Mortified that the world may be warming up to Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is taking an unpopular message to the White House and the United Nations this week: Don’t be fooled by Tehran’s new leadership.

Netanyahu contends Iran is using conciliatory gestures as a smoke screen to conceal an unabated march toward a nuclear bomb.

He will deliver those strong words of caution — and fresh intelligence — in an attempt to persuade the U.S. to maintain tough economic sanctions and not allow the Islamic republic to develop a bomb or even move closer to becoming a nuclear threshold state.

With the White House cautiously optimistic about its dialogue with Iran, Monday’s meeting between Netanyahu and President Barack Obama could be tense.

“I will tell the truth in the face of the sweet talk and the onslaught of smiles,” Netanyahu said before boarding his flight to the U.S. on Sunday. “Telling the truth today is vital for the security and peace of the world and, of course, it is vital for the security of the state of Israel.”

Israeli leaders watched with great dismay what they derisively call the “smiley campaign” by Iran’s new president, Hassan Rouhani, last

MATT MCCUTCHEN, A sophomore mechanical engineering major from Midland, and Timothy Howard, a sophomore business management major from Midland, perform as A Separate Peace on Friday at Yellow House Coffee.

The two do have other interests, however. McCutchen said he is a baseball fan and would want to be a baseball analyst, while Howard said he is going into fulltime ministry after graduating from Tech.

“Regardless of where we’re at or what we’re doing, whether it’s A Separate Peace or not, I think

music’s going to be a part of it,” McCutchen said.

Even with the band’s other member change, the two have stayed together.

“We’ve grown close as friends and that comes out in the music and the performance,” Howard said. ➤➤tdorner@dailytoreador.com

and McCutchen singing and playing the guitar, the duo gave their first performance at Yellow House Coffee.

The small coffee shop created an intimate environment with fans within arm’s reach of the musicians. Howard and McCutchen both said they did not expect many people to come, but the coffee house was nearly packed.

“The feedback was great,” McCutchen said.

The best part of the performance was when the crowd was asked to sing along and seemingly almost everyone did, he said, and it was something the two had never tried before.

“I thought it was great,” said Sara Carden, a sophomore public relations major from San Antonio.

From this point on they’re going to promote their EP and grow both musically and academically, Howard said.

“If we had the opportunity to play music full time, we would definitely take it,” McCutchen said.

Howard agreed, but said they did not want to put their eggs all in one basket.

week. Rouhani delivered a conciliatory speech at the United Nations in which he repeated Iran’s official position that it has no intention of building a nuclear weapon and declared his readiness for new negotiations with the West.

Capping off the visit, Rouhani and Obama held a 15-minute phone call as the Iranian leader was traveling to the airport. By the end of the call, the first conversation between the nation’s leaders in 34 years, Obama was suggesting that a breakthrough on the nuclear issue could portend even deeper ties between the U.S. and Iran. U.S. and European diplomats hailed a “very significant shift” in Iran’s attitude and tone.

For Netanyahu, such sentiments are nothing short of a nightmare.

For years, he has warned that Iran is steadily marching toward development of nuclear weapons, an assessment that is widely shared by the West because of Iran’s continued enrichment of uranium and its repeated run-ins with international nuclear inspectors.

The Israeli prime minister contends Rouhani’s outreach is a ploy to ease international sanctions and buy time. Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

Israel considers a nuclear-armed Iran an unacceptable threat, given

repeated Iranian assertions that the Jewish state should not exist. Israel has a long list of other grievances against Iran, citing its support for hostile Arab militant groups, its development of long-range missiles and alleged Iranian involvement in attacks on Israeli targets in Europe and Asia.

On Sunday, Israel announced the arrest of a Belgian-Iranian business-

man on espionage charges.

Netanyahu says the new Iranian leader must be judged on his actions, not his kind words. In the meantime, he says sanctions and other international pressure, including the threat of military action, must be increased.

He has likened Iran to North Korea, which used the guise of international negotiations to secretly develop a nuclear weapon.

“

doesn’t hurt either.

Besides the simplicity of the iPhone’s design, it’s what inside that really matters. The new iOS 7 is taking giant leaps and breaking borders on what an Apple product means while Android is remaining stagnant. As Apple has made tiny adjustments here and there through the years on their iOS system, the iOS 7 is a compete redesign.

First off, the new photo collections upgrade is seamless as it allows users to browse through years and find a specific stream of photos. The smooth transitions from app to app as well as the new control center allow quick access to major apps while getting there seamlessly. According to Apple.com, “Interactions are dynamic. Animations are cinematic. And the experience is lively and spirited in so many unexpected yet perfectly natural ways.”

Besides the new operating system, the new iPhone 5s and 5c have to be mentioned. While many have stated that the c stands for cheap instead of color, I disagree. Apple is targeting a new market segment with a high-quality product, with basically the same technology and a freshly colored look at a much more competitive price.

Apple has the everyday consumer in mind with its products.

According to a businessweek.com article, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company’s “primary objective is to sell a great phone and provide a great experience, and we figured out a way to do it at a lower cost.”

Instead of the c in 5c standing for color or cheap, it should stand for creative because creativity is exactly what Apple has shown with the launch of a more competitively priced product that now targets a completely different segment.

The 5s, on the other hand, is a completely different animal.

With a faster p r o c e s s o r, higher quality camera and perhaps one of the most innovative security features in smartphone history, a fingerprint scanner, Apple shows even without Steve Jobs, it still has what it takes to be at the top.

Our entire generation knows the Apple logo simply isn’t a symbol; it’s a statement of ingenuity, simplicity and innovation.

Android tries to compete on each one of these levels, but instead of leading they always end up following. What matters with the product ultimately comes down to the user’s experience.

Apple has the everyday consumer in mind with its products and shows it truly is a universal company because it provides a universal experience.

T

echnology is an integral part of our society. People nowadays basically carry their lives in their pocket and access them through the view of a bright little screen. This enables them to have immediate gratification. They can have almost whatever information they want, whenever they want it.

At this point, there are two leading competitors in the smartphone industry: iPhone and Android. They are both great phones, with a nearly endless array of performance abilities.

However, I am going to attempt to shed some light on why some may prefer the Android.

The first reason is a very simple one.

From what I’ve observed myself and heard from others, Androids are more durable.

It seems as though iPhones are more likely to break if accidentally dropped.

I speak from experience when I say you can drop an Android until the color is chipped and cracking, but everything about it will still be intact — except the color — and working beautifully.

I’ve noticed most of my friends who are iPhone users have big cracks in their screen. I’ve also noticed you rarely see a crack in an Android screen.

I’m not sure what the difference is in how they’re made, but I think most people will realize the same thing.

This observation speaks for itself in terms of the durability of the Android.

You’d have to run it over with a car to break it. Normal wear and tear will not affect this super phone.

Last week’s results: Silva — 52.9 % Sigler — 47.1%

Another downside to the iPhone is from the second you step into the Apple Store, Apple controls you.

From my understanding, you cannot take your iPhone to your carrier to be fixed should you have a problem.

There is very little they will be able to do for you. If you have a problem with an iPhone, just about your only alternative — other than taking it somewhere that may or may not have a solution and at your own risk because it’s not under warranty — is to take it to the Apple Store.

Apple is well aware they are your only option.

This is what makes them so m u c h m o n e y.

They can charge you or make you do whatever they want because they know you can’t simply walk out and take your service elsewhere. If you want to be able to communicate — and in this day and age, who doesn’t — and you want to do it with an iPhone, they’re it.

This is part of the beauty of the Android. If we as a population want a smartphone but aren’t happy with some aspect of what Apple is requiring, we no longer have to go along with it.

plex. As most of us are aware, Apple has one operating system that upgrades all devices at the same time. With all the types of Androids out there, no one should have to settle for the monotonous iPhone, which has the same size, look and apps.

Not to mention within the Android family itself, one still isn’t forced to adhere to any one policy because Androids go through carriers if there’s a problem, or it’s broken. If one type of Android isn’t working for you, a completely different one can be purchased that may suit you better.

It is a wonderful feeling to have complete control yourself, as opposed to being at the mercy of the company.

Under the spell of the iPhone, the parameters of the user are rigidly defined. You have no SD card, so if it doesn’t come from iTunes, it is not allowed on your phone, meaning you cannot share ringtones or accept anything from a source that does not come from Apple.

This means you cannot customize or make it your own; it will always be Apple’s. iPhones are much easier to deal with for those who want that ease and monotony where everything is set up, ready and completely interchangeable. However, you surrender a lot of personalization and control by choosing the iPhone. Androids open the doorway toward something new.

n the smartphone world, there are two key players: Apple and Android.

If as a user, you want complete control of your phone to the lowest level of detail and function, then Android is for you. If you’re a user who wants ease of use, simplicity and overall quality, Apple’s iPhone is your best bet.

Simplicity, elegance and ease of use overall defeats customization. Apple’s ease of use is not childlike, but the operating system as well as the overall design of the iPhone allows a beginner who has never handled a smartphone to gain easy understanding and knowledge of the product.

According to Apple’s iOS 7 website, “When you pick something up for the first time and already know how to do the things you want to do, that’s simplicity.”

J.D. Power’s 2013 U.S. Wireless Smartphone Satisfaction Study shows that on the past nine consumer satisfaction studies, the iPhone has been the top-rated smartphone. This comes from a variety of things, including the iPhone 5 and 5s touch-screen response times have both shown to be twice as responsive as the Android operating system, as well as in Web traffic.

Government food stamp benefits too costly, need to be rolled back On Thursday, Sept. 19, the House of Representatives passed a bill that cut government spending by $39 billion over 10 years.

The bill passed 217-210. However, no Democrats voted for the measure. As a matter of fact, many Democrats have vowed to vote against it when the bill is brought to the Senate. Some have even said the $39 billion cut is “just too much.”

However, there are projections that the bill will not pass through the Senate and is very unlikely to pass the president if it gets that far. So exactly why is a $39 billion cut “too much”?

The epidemic of food stamps is becoming out of control. As of September 2013, there are nearly 48 million people on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. SNAP is a program for government assistance offered to low income families to help pay for food. This number means that

1 in 7 people in America are currently receiving food stamps from the government.

This number is up from the 28.2 million people who received SNAP benefits in 2008. That is a 69 percent increase in just five years.

The worst part is the amount the government spends on the program. In fiscal year 2012, the U.S. government spent $74.6 billion funding the SNAP program.

Most people don’t know that as of June 2012, 1.6 food stamp users were noncitizens. This number is double the one from 2008 and quadruple that from 2001.

Something must be done.

All people asking for governmental assistance should be required by law to take a drug test to receive it and take random drug tests to maintain the benefits. In order to start a new job, one must submit to a drug test and be subject to random drug tests. The least that a SNAP applicant should be asked to do is a simple drug test. Some SNAP

participants cannot afford food for their family because they are too busy worrying about when they will be able to afford their next fix of marijuana or other substances. This solution will not only lower the number of people on SNAP, but it will also save the government money in the long run.

The problem is not the fact that the government is helping people.

The problem is how the program is handled. The issues here presented do not apply to every single user of SNAP; there are plenty of people who actually need to be on it. The problem is the people who abuse the privilege.

The program Women, Infants and Children, known as WIC, was developed to help low-in-

come pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women as well as infants and children up to 5 years old who are deemed to have nutritional risks.

There are many differences between SNAP and WIC, one of them being the amount of money the government spends on each program.

While the government spent nearly $75 billion on SNAP, the United States spent only $7 billion on WIC in the 2012 fiscal year.

Another key difference is what you are available to purchase with the government’s (read: taxpayers’) money. WIC foods include infant cereal, iron-fortified adult cereal, vitamin C-rich fruit or vegetable juice, eggs, milk, cheese, peanut

butter, dried and canned beans/ peas, canned fish, soy-based beverages, tofu, fruits and vegetables, baby foods, whole-wheat bread, and other whole-grain options.

This is the kind of governmental help that should be offered. If you are in need of government assistance, the basics should be more than enough to get you back on your feet. SNAP’s food eligibility seriously needs to be revised to follow WIC’s footsteps.

Did you know that foods acceptable on SNAP include soft drinks, candy, cookies, ice cream, energy drinks with a nutrition facts label, specialty bakery cakes, lobster and filet mignon?

In Menominee, Mich., a woman used her food stamps to purchase fresh lobster, porterhouse steaks and five 24-packs of Diet Mountain Dew totaling $141.78.

I don’t know very many people who throw lobster, steak and Mountain Dew parties, but if you are a recipient of SNAP, you are eligible, and it has been done.

5K runners overcome zombies, lightning

By ALI WILLINGHAM Staff Writer

Despite winds reaching close to 25 mph in downtown Lubbock, runners were able to speed past the walking dead and enjoy the inaugural Electric Zombie Run on Friday.

Set in downtown Lubbock, the Electric Zombie Run runners began at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center and continued through downtown until returning to the civic center.

To participate in the event, runners paid $35, which covered their race entry fee as well as a ‘goodie bag’ containing an Electric Zombie Event T-shirt, two reflective LED light bands, glow-in-the-dark finisher medals, a race bib and an entrance fee to a postrace party.

Unlike most 5Ks, the Electric Zombie Run was a nighttime race, starting at 8 p.m.

Texas Tech alumna Kristen Hitz said she prefers day races, but it was nice to have a night run, with this one being her first nighttime run.

The nursing graduate from Garden City, Kan., said she normally runs at night so it was

fun to have a night run.

“I thought it was fun because it was just set up really well,” Hitz said.

She said it was neat running through downtown, even though the weather wasn’t cooperating.

We got to see a lightning show while we ran, Hitz said.

“We were scared because we all had cameras and phones to take pictures,” she said. “We put most of them up because we were scared it was going to rain on us.”

Because of the weather, Hitz said they had to start the run 15 minutes earlier.

She said it wasn’t fun running with the wind.

“It kind of helped or played into our zombie experience though,” Hitz said.

She said the runners’ path was mapped out with zombies placed at different points during the run.

They couldn’t touch them though, Hitz said.

“They would scream and make noises,” she said. “All the people did really good.”

The rules of the event were that runners who made it to the finish line

within the first 35 minutes were survivors of the zombie apocalypse and given medals that said, “I survived the Electric Zombie Run.” The runners who weren’t able to meet the 35-minute mark were deemed zombies and given glow-inthe-dark medals that said, “I was too slow. I am a zombie.”

Hitz, who ran with fellow Tech alumnae, Lindsey Murray and Taly Jacobs, said the group finished the race at about 37 minutes.

Murray, a law graduate from Giddings, said they finished a lot faster than she thought they had.

They stopped and took pictures, she said, and did all kinds of fun things.

“It felt good to finish that fast when we weren’t even really trying,” Murray said.

Hitz, Murray and Jacobs, each adorned in black and white outfits with white face paint and black eye makeup around their eyes, decided to take the fun approach to the race.

Jacobs, a law graduate from Plain, Kan., said the Electric Zombie Run was great and she had a blast.

Compared to previous 5Ks, Jacobs

said, this run was more fun.

“Normally, everybody’s concentrating on themselves and getting

their best time,” she said. “This was a chance to see Lubbock in a different light and be able to run and joke

around with friends, while potentially get scared by some zombies.” ➤➤awillingham@dailytoreador.com

Raiderthon Board hosts fundraiser for Children’s Miracle Network

By LIANA SOLIS Staff Writer

Students lined up at the starting line, shivering from the 50-degree weather and anxiously waiting for the race to begin.

The Texas Tech Raiderthon Board hosted its inaugural 5K at 9 a.m. Saturday on campus as a fundraising event for Raiderthon.

Alyssa Edstrom, a senior public relations major from Trophy Club and director of Raiderthon, said they got the idea for a 5K from a conference the officers attended last summer.

“We went to Salt Lake City, Utah, for a leadership conference and heard about a lot of people around the nation doing 5Ks and having a lot of success with them,” Edstrom said. “We try to put on as many events as we can to raise money for Raiderthon, so we thought adding a 5K to the list of fundraisers would be a good idea.”

Sixty-four people signed up for the race, Edstrom said, and the event raised roughly $1,400 by the

time the event started.

Bobby Erwin, a junior preoccupational therapy major from Monahans, said he was surprised with how much money the event raised in the first year.

“I’m very impressed with how well the fundraiser turned out for our first time around,” Erwin said.

“Every little bit helps, too, and that money is going to go a long way to help us.”

The executive board of Raiderthon organized the event, Edstrom said, and had many groups volunteer to help, including the Fashion Board and a few Greek groups.

“Alpha Chi Omega even had a group enter to run in the event,” Edstrom said, “We had mostly students come out to participate and help with the race, but there were some members of the community as well. Next year we are definitely going to do a better job of reaching out to the rest of Lubbock to get involved.”

The race started and ended at the west parking lot outside Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation

Center, Edstrom said, and looped around different parts of campus.

“We were able to get police officers to come out to regulate the streets to help out runners, which was nice for us,” Edstrom said.

“With it being our first one, we wanted to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible.”

Although this is the first year the board has done a 5K, Edstrom said, this is the fourth year Raiderthon has been at Tech.

“Raiderthon is an annual spring event that raises money for the Children’s Miracle Network to help local hospitals with sick children,” Edstrom said. “We host it every year around April or May, but spend all year raising money for the event.”

Sponsors for the race included local businesses such as Market Street, Century 21 and local realtors, Edstrom said.

Chelsea Young, a senior biochemistry major from Carlsbad, N.M., and internal director for Raiderthon, said they never have trouble getting sponsors for their fundraisers or for Raiderthon itself.

Miss Philippines crowned as Miss World in Indonesia during weekend BALI, Indonesia (AP) — Miss Philippines, Megan Young, was crowned Miss World on Saturday amid tight security on Indonesia’s resort island of Bali, where the contest’s final round was moved following protests by Muslim hardliner groups.

“I promise to be the best Miss World ever,” Young, 23, said after winning the 63rd annual event, as a large number of Filipino fans who traveled with her celebrated by jumping and waving the country’s flag.

Despite threats from the Islamic Defenders Front to disrupt the contest, police said no rallies were staged Saturday. The group has demonstrated for weeks, calling for the government to cancel the pageant because members say it shows too much skin and goes against Islamic teachings.

The 127 contestants vying for the crown were introduced Saturday wearing evening gowns shimmering in sequins,

many of them with plunging necklines and slits up the leg. Four candidates dropped out earlier, mainly due to illnesses, said Syafril Nasution, one of the local organizers.

Young, who took the crown from Wenxia Yu of China, the 2012 winner, was born in the United States. When she was 10 she moved to the Philippines, where she has appeared in films and as a television host.

Miss France, Marine Lorphelin, 20, took second place, while Miss Ghana, Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter, 22, came in third.

Miss World organizers had earlier agreed to cut bikinis from the swimsuit competition, replacing them with more conservative sarongs. But pressure continued to mount, and more mainstream groups joined in and called for the show to be banned.

Indonesia’s government announced three weeks ago that the final would be

moved from the outskirts of the capital, Jakarta, and instead held on the Hindudominated resort island of Bali, where earlier rounds were taking place.

The British, Australian and U.S. embassies issued warnings to citizens planning trips to Bali during the competition, saying there could be large-scale protests or even attacks.

Col. R. Umar Faroq, the Director of Vital Security for Bali provincial police, said thousands of security forces had been deployed to secure the final.

Former students becomes YouTube sensation

By KEELA COOPER Staff Writer

Justin Robinett, a former Texas Tech student, shows his musical skills via YouTube.

Robinett said he began his musical career when he met Michael Henry at Tech. They became roommates and discovered they both had an interest and talent for music.

“We kind of just did a recording for the first time. Why not?”

Robinett said. “We made a video of it, didn’t think twice about it.”

They put it on YouTube to show their parents. He said it started off slow, but soon their video got more and more views.

“We forgot that other people could see it,” said Robinett. “At some point, people saw it and liked it and we kind of realized there was a market for that. We started doing covers.”

The first video Robinett and Henry posted was “Three Cheers for Five Years” by Mayday Parade, Robinett said. It was posted in 2009.

“It was a song not a lot of people knew,” Robinett said. “But it was one of our favorites at the time, so we did it.”

Soon after that, Robinett and Henry decided to do more popular songs, Robinett said. They started covering more popular songs and

the YouTube community loved it, he said.

“People will view songs that are popular more than songs that aren’t,” said Robinett. “That really helped us get more subscribers and a bigger fan base.”

Robinett said he has been a musician for most of his life. He started playing drums in sixth grade and piano even before then, he said. He mostly stuck with drums, though, because he wasn’t fond of taking piano lessons, Robinett said.

“I hated it and I threw it away until I got to college and sat down at a piano and realized this is a really cool instrument,” Robinett said. “So I fell in love again with it.”

While at Tech, Robinett was a percussion performance major. However, he said he had to transfer to South Plains College because Tech didn’t offer the major he wanted. He graduated from South Plains with a sound technology degree. Robinett said he still had a good experience at Tech.

“Tech in general was awesome,” Robinett said. “The teachers were great.”

Robinett said he was involved in the band and drumline at Tech.

This was one of his favorite college experiences, he said.

“The band was a great expe-

rience,” he said. “It makes you work hard and that’s a good trait to work on.”

Robinett said he and Henry are in a transitional period, because Henry graduated from Tech with a law degree and wanted to pursue that.

“We came to the agreement that let’s let you go get a job, and I’ll continue to do music,” Robinett said.

Robinett and Henry have been promoted by some big names, including Justin Bieber and Hayley Williams from Paramore, Robinett said. He also said their video for Billie Jean has been on several TV shows.

“Those are probably some highlights,” Robinett said. “When the stars see the videos and say that they like it.”

Robinett said he feels blessed to have gotten this far in his music career, and thanks everyone for supporting him, he said.

“We’ve been really, really blessed having our friends and family supporting us through it all,” Robinett said. “We’ve been to New York and Los Angeles and Pittsburg and it just blows my mind.”

Robinett and Henry plan to release their MHJR Classics album in January, Robinett said. Next year, they will release a Disney album. Right now, he’s working

on getting a band together because Henry is pursuing his law career.

“I’m just trying to make music that people will enjoy,” Robinett said.

Nash Gonzales, Robinett’s cousin, said he enjoys Robinett’s music. The two of them grew up playing and listening to music

together. Back then, it was hard to see whether Robinett would become a famous musician, Gonzales said.

“You kind of hope that it would happen,” Gonzales said.

“But at the same time, you have the realistic understanding that not everybody get these types of

chances and opportunities.”

Gonzales said he remembered when Robinett got his first drum set and first guitar. He also was there when Robinett started his first bands in high school.

“I got to see how far he progressed,” said Gonzales. ➤➤kcooper@dailytoreador.com

FDA: Criminal case shows food safety is paramount DENVER (AP) — Criminal charges against two cantaloupe farmers over a deadly food-borne illness send an emphatic message to fruit and vegetable growers to crack down on safety, federal regulators said Friday.

Colorado farmers Eric and Ryan Jensen appeared in shackles in a Denver federal court this week and pleaded not guilty to charges of introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce.

The federal Food and Drug Administration has said conditions at Jensen Farms in southeast Colorado led to a 2011 listeria outbreak that killed 33 people. Officials said people in 28 states ate the contaminated fruit, and 147 required hospitalization.

The criminal prosecution “sends the message that absolute care must be taken to ensure that deadly pathogens do not enter our food supply chain,” the FDA said in a statement Friday.

Criminal charges are rare in food-borne illnesses, but the FDA under President Barack Obama has been more aggressive in pursuing farmers and food processors for alleged lapses, said Michael Doyle, director of University of Georgia’s Center for Food Safety.

“I think the FDA is sending a strong message that the produce industry is going to have to raise the bar to ensure the safety of the, basically, ready-to-consume foods,” he said.

It’s the second such warning from the agency, Doyle said. In February, four former employ-

ees of a peanut company were charged in Georgia federal court with scheming to manufacture and ship tainted peanuts. A 2009 salmonella outbreak blamed on the peanuts killed nine people and sickened hundreds.

The four pleaded not guilty.

The listeria epidemic traced to Jensen Farms was the nation’s deadliest outbreak of foodborne illness in 25 years.

The FDA concluded the melons likely were contaminated in Jensen Farms’ packing house. It said dirty water on a floor, and old, hard-to-clean equipment probably were to blame.

The Jensens’ trial is scheduled to start Dec. 1. The brothers could face up to six years in prison and $1.5 million in fines each if convicted.

Produce farmers don’t have a “true-kill” step to eliminate bacteria, the way dairies and other food producers do, Doyle said.

Pasteurization and proper storage can assure the safety of milk, he said. “We cannot say that with bag salads because we don’t have that true-kill step that will kill harmful bacteria,” Doyle said.

Higher safety standards are possible for produce, he said, but it will take time and money to develop them, and produce is a low-profit business.

Improved safety practices are economically feasible, said Michael Hirakata, president of the Rocky Ford Growers Association.

Colorado cantaloupe farmers launched the association after the listeria epidemic to protect

the reputation of Rocky Ford cantaloupes, sought-after for their distinct sweetness.

The Jensens farmed 90 miles from the Rocky Ford area, but they used the Rocky Ford name.

Hirakata’s group registered Rocky Ford as a trademark, hired a fulltime food safety manager and built a central packing operation where melons are washed and rinsed.

The group said it passed an unannounced FDA safety audit last month.

“This was the business we’re in and we wanted to keep doing it, so for us, it was feasible,” Hirakata said. “I know there’s several smaller farmers in our association (that have) done it. The consumer confidence is there, so it’s working.”

The Rocky Ford Growers Association sought advice from universities and from the state and federal agriculture departments and reviewed California’s cantaloupe safety rules to develop their standards.

Hirakata, a fourth-generation farmer, said the intensified focus on safety has changed farming.

At the end of the growing season, farmers used to say, “The freeze is coming. We’ve got to work hard and get done,” Hirakata said. “Now, it’s ‘We’ve got to look back at our operations and see where the risks are.’”

“It’s not my grandpa’s farm.

It’s not even my dad’s farm anymore,” he said. “The face of produce is changing even as we speak.”

Wonder headlines NYC concert highlighting poverty NEW YORK (AP) — Stevie Wonder gave an electrifying performance at New York’s Central Park in front of thousands of fans and several world leaders Saturday, singing his hits and calling for an end to poverty worldwide at the Global Citizen Festival.

Bono gave a funky, rousing introduction to Wonder, who headlined the second annual concert. Wonder wowed audi-

ence members, who danced and sang along to songs including “Superstition” and “Isn’t She Lovely.”

“This is a global celebration,” Wonder yelled to the crowd. “We will end extreme world poverty in our lifetime.”

Wonder has been a United Nations Messenger of Peace with a special focus on disabilities since 2009. Messengers have

recognized talents in the arts, academia and sports and help bring attention to U.N. work.

The Global Citizen Festival coincides with the U.N. General Assembly. Fans earned free tickets for helping spread the word or volunteering to help end world poverty. World leaders who attended included Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

Conference play excites Tech volleyball Staff Writer

The start of Big 12 Conference play brings excitement and motivation to the Texas Tech volleyball team.

The Red Raiders seek to improve in 2013 after posting a 3-13 conference record last season.

Sophomore setter Emily Ruetter said conference play provides a great ambience for the team.

“In our locker room, it’s such a great atmosphere,” she said.

“We’re all really excited to play against some of the best teams in the NCAA and it’s just fun. Every game is a tough game, so they are just really fun to play in.”

Senior outside hitter Aubree Piper said she is excited to play against some of the best teams in one of the best conferences.

“Anytime Big 12 gets here, there’s butterflies, but it’s the best feeling in the world,” she said.

“We’re playing in one of the best conferences and why wouldn’t you be so excited? Some of the best teams are here and just to be able to play with them and play against them is awesome.”

Schedule set for men’s basketball Texas Tech has a record 32 games set for television for the upcoming regular season Tech coach Tubby Smith announced, according to a news release.

This record amount of televised games surpasses the previous record of 30 games broadcasted live on TV during the 2007-2008 season.

Tech will have 17 regular season home games on TV for the 2013-2014 season. Plus, the Red Raiders’ only exhibition game against Angelo State at 7 p.m., Nov. 1, will be televised on Fox College Sports.

According to the news release, this is the first time in school history Tech will broadcast an exhibition game.

The final count comes out to 10 regular season games on the ESPN family of networks, 11 for the Big 12 Conference Network

and the remaining seven slated for the Fox Sports platforms.

Tech has not been shown on the ESPN networks this much since 2007 when the Red Raiders made 13 appearances.

The Red Raiders also will make appearances on two other networks: twice on the Pac-12 Network when they matchup against Arizona on Dec. 3, and Arizona State on Dec. 21 and once on the Longhorn Network against Texas on Jan. 11 in Austin.

One television game has not yet been scheduled. The game is the matchup against Texas Christian on Jan. 18 in Fort Worth.

Texas Christian is set to announce its television schedule next week.

On Monday, the Red Raiders begin practice with their new coach Tubby Smith. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Kevin Sumlin is still searching for all of the answers to turning around the youthful Texas A&M defense.

The Aggies’ coach, however, had few complaints about how the timely defense played in a 45-33 win at Arkansas on Saturday night.

No. 9 Texas A&M (4-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) entered the game against the Razorbacks having already played 11 true freshmen on defense — with the result having been the league’s worst defense.

After allowing 483 yards to Arkansas (3-2, 0-1), the Aggies still rank last in the SEC in total defense — allowing an average of 476.8 yards per game — but they made just enough critical stops to fend off the Razorbacks.

Arkansas never led in the game, but three times in the second half it

forced him to miss last week’s loss at Rutgers.

On third-and-6, however, Allen stared down receiver Keon Hatcher on the right side of the field. Everett wasted little time in jumping in front of the receiver and quieting the Razorback Stadium crowd with his touchdown.

“Coach just told me to wait on the slant route,” Everett said. “I jumped it, and he threw it to me.

It was big.”

Senior linebacker Steven Jenkins later added a game-clinching interception in the fourth quarter for Texas A&M, which won in its first trip to Fayetteville since 1990 — when both schools were members of the Southwest Conference.

While the Aggies’ timely defensive plays helped secure the win, it was a not-so subtle change in the offense at halftime that pro-

vided the answer any time Arkansas threatened.

Texas A&M finished with 523 yards of total offense, 316 of which came in the first half. During the half, quarterback Johnny Manziel rarely had so much as a hand from an Arkansas defender touch him.

The Heisman Trophy winner accounted for 253 yards of total offense in the half, 204 passing and another 49 on the ground.

Manziel finished with 320 yards of total offense, but it was the Aggies’ running game that controlled the action throughout the second half.

Led by Trey Williams’ 83 yards rushing on 9 carries, Texas A&M ran the ball 29 times for 150 yards in the second half. They finished with 262 yards rushing on 44 carries, with Tra Carson adding 64 yards and Ben Malena 40 in the balanced effort.

by Texas A&M’s Deshazor Everett to open the half and a pair of other three-and-outs after stops by the Aggies.

“Can we be better? You bet we can,” Sumlin said. “But there’s a lot that we can build off of going on the road and winning in this league (Saturday) in the fashion that we did.”

Everett’s interception return for a touchdown came at a particularly critical time for the Aggies, who led 24-10 in the first half before the Razorbacks closed the lead to 24-20 at halftime.

Arkansas had the ball, and momentum, to start the second half — particularly with quarterback Brandon Allen playing well in his return from a shoulder injury that

Flora said he is starting to see his team realize how good they are once everyone is healthy and understands their roles.

“When you see them tuck their ears back and their eyes get wide open, you know there’s a little hop in their step,” he said. “You like to see them know that these pieces are coming together, getting a little healthier and a couple people taking some different roles.

Who knows when we’ll play again?

So they can live it up and say, ‘We got you’ last until we go again.

“

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Oklahoma finally found a way to beat Notre Dame again.

The 14th-ranked Sooners took advantage of three interceptions, two in the first 3 minutes as they jumped to a 14-0 lead, and Blake Bell passed for two touchdowns to lead the Sooners to a 35-21 victory over the 22nd-ranked Fighting Irish on Saturday.

The win ended a sevengame losing streak to Notre Dame and was just the second in 11 meetings for the Sooners against the Irish, including ending an NCAA-record 47game winning streak in 1957.

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, an Irish Catholic who grew up in Ohio and downplayed the history aspect all week, conceded the victory was especially gratifying.

“Now that it’s happened this way, I’m pleased and I sure am glad for those older Oklahomans that have been through all those games Notre Dame had beaten us. We get some level of satisfaction winning this one,” he said. “Who knows when we’ll play again? So they can live it up and say, ‘We got you’ last until we go again.”

The Sooners (4-0) took control with the two interceptions.

Rees didn’t see Oklahoma linebacker Eric Striker blitzing and was hit from behind, popping the ball loose, and linebacker Corey Nelson caught it and returned it 24 yards for a TD.

Tech football rises to No. 20 in recent polls Although the Red Raiders were idle this weekend after victories in the first four weeks of the college football season, Texas Tech (4-0, 1-0) has risen to No. 20 in the Associated Press polls.

Tech ranks 12th in total offense among Football Bowl Subdivision teams, according to NCAA.com.

The Red Raiders have amassed 2,080 yards on 338

plays at a rate of 6.51 yards per play with 17 touchdowns and are averaging 520 yards per game through four games, according to NCAA.com.

Tech’s undefeated start can be attributed to both the offensive and defensive success on third down.

The Red Raiders’ offense ranks 18th in third-down conversions among FBS programs, according to NCAA.com, con-

verting on 35 of their 68 thirddown attempts.

The defense ranks 22nd in defensive third-down conversions, allowing opponents to convert on 21 of 69 total third-down attempts — or roughly 30.4 percent of their third downs.

Tech travels to Lawrence, Kan., to face the Jayhawks at 11 a.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium. ➤➤sports@dailytoreador.com

especially satisfying considering last season’s loss.

“We felt like we left some stuff on the field last year.

Obviously we didn’t come up with a win last year so we really wanted this one bad, especially coming on the road,” Bell said Rees struggled for a second straight game. After three straight games of passing for more than 300 yards, he was 9 of 24 for a season-low 104 yards.

“Obviously, I’m disappointed

with how I played, individually.

I’ve got to be better. You can’t turn the ball over and expect to win games against good teams like Oklahoma,” Rees said.

Kelly said there was plenty of blame to go around.

“This is about 11 players.

We don’t execute on the offensive line in the first fumble, we don’t run the right route.

It’s natural for everybody to go after the quarterback, but there’s 11 players out there,”

Kelly said.

Kelly didn’t want to talk about what the loss means big picture for the Irish, who entered the season with hopes of making it back to the BCS title game.

“That’s for you guys to talk about. I’ve got a football team we’re trying to work with and develop. You guys can have your own comments and decide what happens and put us in any bowl you want,” he said.

Kithuka continues undefeated streak

Senior cross-country runner Kennedy Kithuka kept his unbeaten streak as a Red Raider intact Saturday, finishing first overall by more than 30 seconds at the Cowboy Jamboree in Stillwater, Okla., according to a news release.

Kithuka was one of two Red Raiders to finish in the top 10 as sophomore teammate Marcos Vallejo followed in 10th with a season-best time of 25:00.77, ac-

cording to the release.

Kithuka crossed the finish line with a time of 23:55.27 to pace the men’s 8,000-meter race at the OSU Cross-Country course.

The Red Raiders finished fourth in the team standings with 114 points while the Lady Raiders finished fifth with 152 points, led by a top-10 finish from junior Sharlene Nickle.

Nickle crossed the finish line with a season-best time

of 18:20.74 in the women’s 5,000-meter race, according to the release. Newcomer Jocelyn Caro followed up Nickle with a time of 18:37.25 — also a season-best.

Tech coach Jon Murray said in the release it was a solid competitive effort by both teams.
