ocal gymnasts and fans filled the United Supermarkets Arena on Sunday evening to watch champions perform in the Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions.

The Kellogg’s tour included Olympians from this year’s men and women gymnastics teams. 2016 Rio team gold medalists Simone Biles and Aly Raisman performed at the event.

Reagan Mendoza, a freshman speech pathology major from Earth, Texas, said many people turned out to see Biles, the four-time gold medalist from the 2016 Olympics.

“Simone Biles is a big inspiration. It’s cool to have her come to a small town like Lubbock,” Mendoza said.

Biles performed the floor routine that earned her a gold medal in Rio to a cheering crowd.

Mendoza said watching Biles in the Olympics was inspiring because of how

far she can push her body. She was excited to see Biles perform her powerful flips in person.

Young gymnasts from the Texas Elite Gymnastics Academy kicked off the performance. Holly Burtha from TEGA said it was fun being able to participate in the tour and do it with all her friends.

The rhythmic gymnastics sister duo Jennifer and Monica Rokhman performed with the acrobatic gymnastics pair of Tiffani Williams and Axel Osborne. Olympic champions Nastia Liukin and Shawn

Johnson also performed a routine together.

The dance routine with Liukin and Johnson was a fan-favorite, Emily Allbright, a senior psychology and business management dual major from Odessa, said.

Biles is an inspiration because she is motivated in her sport and career, Miranda Gonzales, a freshman mathematics major from Harlingen, said. Biles remained motivated even in the Olympics when she had a slip up in her beam routine.

Upcoming cotton harvest prompts career recollection from Bayer vice president

bert, vice president of global breeding and trait development for Bayer CropScience, said he took agriculture classes in high school and graduated from Texas Tech with a Bachelor of Science in agricultural economics.

Gilbert went to West Texas A&M University and started working in plant science but eventually came back to Tech and graduated with a Ph.D. in plant breeding and genetics, he said.

“I worked as a plant breeder for 18 years, just breeding crops, and I loved it,” Gilbert said.

Now, Gilbert supervises about 700 breeders all over the world while working with universities like Tech, encouraging students to look into this program, he said.

Unlike the oil business that fluctuates, Gilbert said, the agriculture business is a growing industry because there is a lot to be done.

“The calculation has been done what we in the agriculture industry are going to have to double the food supplies by 2050 in order for everyone to have enough to eat,” Gilbert said. “This is because people are living longer, more people are being born and thankfully, people are rising up from poverty and into middle class, so they

eat better.”

According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, the world’s food production will need to increase by 70 percent if the global population reaches 9.1 million by 2050.

This means food production in developing countries will need to double.

While it seems there are lands available, Gilbert said the lands are used for buildings because of the growing populations.

“We have to grow twice as much food by 2050 in the same amount of land,” Gilbert said, “and that is the challenge.”

When people think of innovation, he said, people think of technology, such as the new iPhone that can practically do anything.

“But what about being a part of innovation that helps save the world and double the food supply so that people can eat?” Gilbert said. “That is innovation.”

According to the Population Institute, an international nonprofit, the projected 70 percent increase in food production will have to overcome rising energy prices, growing depletions of underground aquifers, the continuing loss of farmland to urbanization and increased drought and flooding resulting from cli-

mate change.

This is what why people are necessary, Gilbert said.

“Bayer CropScience works closely with the agriculture department in Texas Tech,” Gilbert said.

“We meet them several times a year where we would have a professor from Tech and a scientist from Bayer work close together as co-leads on certain projects.”

Karen Antoine, an incoming Tech student, moved to Lubbock to attend Tech.

Born and raised in Queens, New York, Antoine said she has always been interested in agriculture.

“Being in Brooklyn, farmlands are very limited as I haven’t seen any growing up,” Antoine said.

“Queens is made of nothing but buildings, houses, and there isn’t much of free land let alone farmlands.”

Antoine said she regularly visits Lubbock because she has family that lives there.

While in Lubbock, she said she saw farm lands like cotton fields, which appealed to her.

“I started researching on the agriculture department of Texas Tech University and knew right away, it was for me,” Antoine said.

She will start her degree

No arrests made in case of 1 dead, 4 wounded in San Antonio drive-up shooting on Sunday SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A woman has been killed and four men have been wounded when three men jumped out of a vehicle and opened fire on them on a street south of downtown San Antonio.

The incident happened about 2:30 a.m. Sunday in a

parking lot outside a night spot about a miles south of downtown San Antonio.

A police statement says the woman was walking with five men when the three gunmen stepped from the vehicle, walked up to the group and opened fire, wounding all five.

The police statement says the woman was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center, where she died. The four men were taken to University Medical Center, where one was in critical condition and the three others were in stable condition.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Activists on Sunday called on police to publicly name the officers involved in the deadly shooting of an 18-year-old black man near his home and to conduct a quick and transparent probe.

“We don’t want to see a cover-up. We don’t want to see a whitewash,” Earl Ofari Hutchinson said after meeting with the family of Carnell Snell Jr. “We have a family that’s grieving. We have a community that’s grieving.”

Hutchinson, who founded of the Los Angeles Urban

Policy Roundtable, said Snell’s family refused to further discuss Saturday’s shooting but planned to issue a statement soon.

Police on Sunday said a handgun was found at the scene where Snell died following a chase.

Other details of the shooting have not been made public but rumors have swept the South Los Angeles community.

“He was just at my house, and we got a phone call that said the police shot him five times in the back,” Snell’s mother, Monique Morgan, said Saturday night.

Personality-type research helps academically

By LINDA HARDWICKE Staff Writer

Not all students learn and decipher information in the same manner, which can become a problem when most of academia uses the same teaching techniques.

However, researchers have pinpointed different ways students can learn and have put them to use in recent years.

John Pelley, a professor at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, said he has been studying the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and how different types affect learning styles for the past 30 years.

He has delivered speeches at different medical schools regarding his unique research.

“I would venture to say (Pelley) is one of the most informed people about personality assessment, not just Myers-Briggs, but I mean across the board,” Kim Peck, associate dean of admissions and diversity for the HSC School of Medicine, said.

The Myers-Briggs Test The Myers-Briggs indicator explores preferences and has scientific backing, whereas some other tests examine permanent personality traits that have no scientific backing, Pelley said. People can learn to use skills from an alternate type, but if one studies personality traits, there is no consideration of the ability to change.

“Myers-Briggs only deals with normal behavior. There is no way you can have an abnormal type. You just have a different type,” Pelley said.

“When (people) understand themselves through type, (they) not only feel better that they’re okay, but (they) understand that others are, too.”

“Thinking” types, for example, have the unconscious responses that are more objective and logical, and “Feeling” types have unconscious responses that are more related to human values, he said.

A Thinking type can have strong feelings, and a Feeling type may have a strong sense of objectivity. Thinking and Feeling types are determined by which type a person uses to make decisions.

“There’s nobody teaching students how to learn,” Pelley said. “They’re teaching them what to learn.”

There is one set of charac-

teristics in the Myers-Briggs that directly affects learning and performance on exams: the “Sensing” or “Intuitive” type, he said. It is a mental habit that people are typically unaware of. Sensing types do better on essays, and Intuitive types do better with multiple-choice questions.

Both types have their blind spots, Pelley said. Sensing types struggle with comparisons, while Intuitive types have a blind spot for simple facts and details.

“If you look at what defines an Intuitive compared to a Sensing type, you’ll find that the Intuitive description matches exactly the front function of the brain: creativity and decision making,” Pelley said.

“The Sensing type matches exactly the back of the brain: memory, facts and details.”

Intuitive types study by jumping around the material a lot, but they find the big picture when they study that way, preparing them for multiplechoice exams, Pelley said.

“I got good results with (Sensing) students when I taught them big-picture thinking,” Pelley said. “When I taught them a better way to learn, their grades went up, and they started surviving instead of flunking out.”

Concept Mapping Pelley said the system he uses to help students learn better is called concept mapping. Concept mapping refers to putting facts and details into a visual arrangement to see the big picture. Students who have given Pelley feedback about concept mapping have told him it is hard to get used to but helps them learn better.

“The irony is (students) say they don’t have time,” Pelley said. “What (students) find out is that while you’re looking at stuff and thinking you’re getting a lot done, you’re actually getting nothing done. And that’s a waste of time.”

Pelley said concept mapping is extremely helpful in studying before finals. The students who have made concept maps throughout the semester only have to read through the maps that are already embedded in their long-term memory. Other students have to reread everything, which they typically do not have time for.

Pelley said he hopes to use

his Expert Skills program to give pre-med students a competitive edge.

Question Analysis Question analysis, on the other hand, helps students to not only look for the right answer, but also know why the answer is correct, Pelley said.

Diagnosis is determined by elimination, not by knowing the “right” diagnosis.

“The difference between a multiple-choice question and the patient is that with the patient, you make up the answer choices. With a multiplechoice question, the teacher makes it up,” Pelley said. “The teacher has not picked four alternative dummy answers.

The teacher picks four other choices that resemble what they think they taught you, but that are still incorrect.”

Knowing why the wrong answers are wrong allows students to read the material differently than they otherwise would, Pelley said. Students have to know why the correct answer is right and the other answers are wrong.

The Expert Skills Program According to the Success Types Medical Education website, the Expert Skills Program provides professional skill development opportunities for all interested medical students.

“Dr. Pelley and I have collaborated (about) using personality type (with residents and medical students) for several years,” Peck said. “The intent is the same: to try and gather more information about a person, not to restrict them in any

way or discriminate against them in any way, but it gives us better insight into approaches that may help them if they struggle academically.”

The medical school has a good percentage of students who participate in The Expert Skills Program while they are at the Health Sciences Center, Peck said. It is not a mandatory part of the curriculum, but it has become recognized by the faculty.

Several students have benefitted from The Expert Skills Program, Peck said.

She and Pelley are collaborating with other medical schools using the Expert Skills approach to get data.

“We all have different learning preferences and learning styles, and I think the students who choose to (take part in the program), I think they are finding a lot of benefit from that,” Peck said.

“I have not encountered a student at all with this program that says, ‘I’m sorry I tried these avenues and it was a waste of my time.’”

Pelley said he has not had enough time to explore adaptive ability to other traits.

“Pretty much every student coming into medical school has to adapt their study approach in some way,” Peck said. “We start off encouraging them to be open to looking at different ways of doing things, and we try to offer many different approaches to delivering our content.”

If students are having a difficult time adapting to new studying methods, en-

couraging them until the new method becomes a habit is essential, she said.

Students need to learn to adapt, even if it is difficult, so they can do well in school, Pelley said.

“When I’m working with a student, I just ask them ‘Give me another alternative (to changing learning styles), and I’ll help you understand why it’s not as good,’” he said.

Flashcards and reading questions are alternatives frequently given in response, Pelley said. All that the students are doing is reading those questions. When they cannot remember those questions in the morning, students begin to think there is something wrong with them.

Sleep and Learning “You can read the material over and over and over and just look at it, and you will achieve nothing,” Pelley said. “Your brain will not consolidate it.”

Sleep happens in cycles, Pelley said. Every 90 minutes, a person dips into deep sleep, more at first and less throughout the night. During deep sleep, people replay events of the day.

The brain decides to keep or discard information during deep sleep, he said. Reading does not provide an emotional connection to study material the way concept mapping and question mapping do. If there is no emotional connection, the brain will not view the information as important. “(A Harvard study) indicates five REM cycles produce the maximum learning,” Pel-

ley said. “That’s seven and a half hours of sleep. (After hearing this,) students start taking sleep very seriously.”

Human trials that measure whether restudying or sleeping help with memory have shown that those who sleep learn much better than those who do not sleep and only restudy the material given, he said. Another study shows people who go to sleep learn more information with less studying than those who study more and sleep less.

Because he works in the HSC medical school, he focuses on types there, but he has spoken with researchers at medical schools across the country, Lubbock Independent School District, community colleges in Texas and a law school about learning types, he said. Though he has not spoken to Tech students about it, he has talked to some faculty about learning types.

Knowing one’s own personality type, realizing that it does not it describe one and does not confine one, being aware of one’s types and being tolerant of those differences in other people so that people can work together are beneficial results of Myers-Briggs testing, Peck said.

“It’s what you do when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can no longer help it,” Pelley said.

“Taking the opportunity to know yourself better now puts you in a position to control your life and help others with their lives.” @DT_LHard

Violent homicide rate hike forces more Houston police OT HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Police Department is spending $2 million in overtime to have more officers patrol hot crime spots after a spike in homicides over the past two years.

Mayor Sylvester Turner said that in response to the increase in violence, he and

acting Police Chief Martha Montalvo mobilized more police resources, including community agencies, and assigned more officers to street patrols.

“I authorized several actions, including an extra $2 million for police overtime, an additional cadet class, the shifting of 175 offi-

cers from desk jobs to the streets and a crackdown on gangs and Kush (synthetic marijuana),” Turner said in a statement.

Meanwhile, senior police officials are performing weekly reviews to check if a focus on gang and narcotics activity and domestic violence is reducing

the number of shootings and other major crimes, the Houston Chronicle reported.

The cause of the spike in homicides isn’t clear, Turner and others studying the violence said. Houston had 303 homicides last year, which far exceeded the 198 it had in 2011.

The locomotive’s recorder has information on train speed.

National Transportation Safety Board vice chair T. Bella Dinh-Zarr said she’s hopeful the data recorder in the cab control car in the front of the train is functional. Investigators haven’t been able to extract that recorder because it’s under a collapsed section of the train station’s roof.

9/11 Victims Bill proves controversial O n Wednesday, the Senate and the House overturned President Barack Obama’s veto of a 9/11 victims bill.

As was expected, the bill got a lot of media attention, even becoming a talking point for the president’s town hall that night with CNN’s Jake Tapper.

So what’s the big deal?

What exactly is this bill — which the majority of state representatives voted for — going to result in?

Well, for starters, the official name of the bill is “Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act,” or JASTA, and it does exactly what it sounds like it does.

This bill was brought forward by the families of the victims of 9/11 with the intention of suing members of the Saudi government who they suspect to have been a part of the terrorist attacks.

According to the bill, it amends the federal criminal code to permit civil claims against a foreign state or official for injuries, death, or damages

Haley Britzky is a senior journalism major from Trophy Club.

from an act of international terrorism.

Why Saudi Arabia? Well, CNN reported in 2013 that 15 hijackers involved in 9/11 were Saudi citizens.

Because of that fact, it’s been rumored that senior Saudi officials were linked to the attacks in some way.

There has been no evidence found to support that claim.

However, BBC reports that a previously classified document revealed that some of the hijackers “were in contact with, and received support from, individuals who may be connected to the Saudi government.”

The document did not result in any new evidence.

So, a bill that was vetoed by Obama was overturned by the House and the Senate, allowing private citizens to sue foreign

nations or officials over acts of terrorism.

How does that work?

What’s the procedure behind essentially telling the President of the United States no?

In order to override the President’s veto, twothirds of voting members in both the House and Senate must agree to do just that.

Both chambers must override for it to work, meaning if the House gets two-thirds but the Senate does not, the veto stands.

Wednesday night at a town hall moderated

by Jake Tapper, Obama remarked that some members who voted in favor didn’t know what was in the bill, and “it was basically a political vote.”

In ot her wor ds , R epublicans blindly voted in favor to carry the bill because it appealed to Republican members.

Well, that’s not true.

It factually cannot be true because while the Republicans do hold the majority of Congress, they don’t have the num-

bers to swing a two-thirds vote by themselves.

This means that JASTA crossed party lines and received support from both Republicans and Democrats in Congress.

In other words, Republicans blindly voted in favor to carry the bill because it appealed to Republican members.

This bill saw an overwhelming vote from both chambers; The Washington Post reported that Congress saw 97 to 1 vote in the Senate and 348 to 77 in the House.

That’s 97 votes to override in the Senate, out of 44 Democrats and 54 Republicans, and 348 in the House, out of 246 Republicans and 186 Democrats.

So we know what the bill is, we know how it

became the first bill in O b a m a ’s n e a r l y e i g h t years as president to be overturned, but what are the risks?

There has to be a reason why the President of the United States didn’t support it, right?

Well historically, Saudi Arabia and the U.S. have been allies. The Council on Foreign Relations — a nonprofit organization and think tank — reports that Saudi Arabia has been “the main U.S. ally” in the Persian Gulf region for the past 30 years.

A State Department report in 2014 claimed that the Saudis maintain a “robust counterterrorism relationship with the United States.”

This bill could no doubt put a strain on that relationship.

Additionally, Obama worries that this bill will be turned against us by kick-starting lawsuits from other countries against the U.S. According to BBC, the concern is that a drone strike against a suspected

al-Qaida target in Ye men, Pakistan or Somalia could leave the U.S. open to liability.

In opposition to that, Terry Strada, the nat i o n a l c h a i r f o r 9 / 11 Families United for Justice against Terrorism, told BBC as long as America isn’t “funding terrorist organizations and killing people, then we don’t have anything to worry about.”

So, now we know what the bill stands for; we know how it was historically overridden by Congress; we know what the risks are of putting it into action.

But was this a good move or a bad move? Did the Senate really make the most embarrassing call in decades, like White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest thinks?

Or was this a step toward justice for those who have and continue to suffer from international terrorism attacks? Well, that’s for you to decide.

“Me and my brother, Royce Rizzy, have always done everything together.

We used to look up to our cousin who was rapping, and we’d go watch him record in his room and write our own stuff,” MadeinTYO said during the interview.

“He would turn the beat off and we’d still be rapping. He started setting up sessions in his room to record us. Our voices sounded super light and pip-squeak.

Alpha Tau Omega hosts annual Gatorfest

By HALEY DAVIS Staff Writer

The Texas Tech chapter of Alpha Tau Omega brought country music star Roger Creager to Lubbock for its annual Gatorfest on Friday night.

Alpha Tau Omega is an American Leadership Fraternity that ranks among the top 10 fraternities in both number of chapters and members, according to the ATO Facebook page.

The men of Alpha Tau Omega pride themselves on hard work, determination, community service and building a brotherhood based upon these principles, according to the page.

Brandon McCrary, a senior electrical engineering student and the Alpha Tau Omega president, said he has gained much from being a member of ATO for the past five years.

“My fraternity brothers and I are all put in positions to lead and become better men on a daily basis,” McCrary said.

This was the fraternity’s seventh Gatorfest since its unveiling in September

2010, headlined by country singer Casey Donahew.

The block of Main Street and University Avenue was packed with fraternity members and students of every classification starting around 7 p.m. Friday.

Kensie Coppin opened the show with originals like “Juan Gibson” and “The Drinkin’ Song,” leading the audience in a Texas-style two-step.

“We’re so excited to be here and be able to kick off this event,” Coppin said. “I’ve only had a few full-band shows. I usually play acoustic, and this brings a whole new life to my music.”

The Derek Lee Band followed, playing singles like “Little Texas Woman” and “Headlights.”

“We’re a Texas country b a n d t h a t l o ves Texas country songs,” Lee said.

“We’re really thankful to everyone who came out.”

Alpha Tau Omega ensured Gatorfest lived up to its name and cooked fried alligator on site shipped straight from Louisiana.

McCrary was also the

chaplain and assistant coordinator for this year’s Gatorfest. He said ATO had seen up to 2,000 people attend the event in the past.

“Casey Donahew was such a great success at the first Gatorfest,” McCrary said. “We are glad to have the concert back after our one year off.”

McCrary said ATO owes a huge thanks to the Board of Trustees and all the alumni support that went into this year’s event.

A native of Corpus Christi, Creager aspired to be a country music artist since he was 6 years old, according to his website. He attended Texas A&M University in College Station and released his first album in 1998.

“Even with a few technical difficulties during the show, I had a Bud Light in my hand, so everything was okay,” Creager said.

“I used to come play for Texas Tech about 16 years ago and even though that audience is probably all married now with kids, we’re still here playing for Texas Tech students.”

RYAN ORTEGON/The Daily Toreador

Roger Creager and his band take the stage as the main event of Gatorfest. The festival took place from 7 to 11 p.m. Friday on Main Street next to the U-Lofts apartment complex.

Creager played songs from his newest album entitled, “Gulf Coast Time,” which is a nostalgic take on his childhood growing up on the beach, according to his website.

“I know it’s just starting to get cold, but I’m the type of guy to hang on to the summer as long as I

can,” Creager said. “I love the warmth and the sun and the water.”

All the proceeds of this year’s Gatorfest benefited the Wounded Warrior Project, a charity and veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs for wounded veterans of the military

actions following 9/11.

“The past few years that we have put on Gatorfest, we have worked with foundations that deal with wounded veterans and their families,” McCrary said. “We feel that it is something we will continue to do in the future.” @DailyToreador

Multiday music, camping festival planned for East Texas The brains behind such multi-day music festivals as Electric Daisy Carnival and Lollapalooza are combining to create a new one in Texas called Middlelands.

Insomniac and C3

Presents said Friday they plan to produce a hybrid music and camping show in spring 2017 in the eastern Texas town of Todd Mission.

According to the producers, expect "three

days of eclectic artists and four nights of camping in a spectacular venue with creative festivities extending well beyond music."

C3 Presents is the producer of Austin City Limits

music festival in Texas and Lollapalooza in Chicago as well as four international Lollapaloozas. Insomniac's events include the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, the largest multiday music festival in North America.

Newspapers endorse Clinton in landslide manner, attack Trump NEW YORK (AP) — “A clear and present danger to our country.” ‘’Xenophobia, racism and misogyny.” ‘’Beneath our national dignity.”

Those aren’t excerpts from attack ads by Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Those are longtime Republican newspapers disavowing Donald Trump.

If newspaper endorsements equaled victory, Clinton would be in line for a historic landslide. She has been endorsed by dozens of papers ranging from such expected backers as The New York Times to such once-certain GOP advocates as The Dallas Morning News, the Arizona Republic and the Cincinnati Enquirer, which on Sept. 23 called for “a leader who will bring out the best in Americans, not the worst.”

On Friday, USA Today ended its tradition of not taking sides and published an anti-endorsement, contending that Trump “lacks

the temperament, knowledge, steadiness and honesty that America needs from its presidents.” The paper didn’t back Clinton but advised readers to “Stay true to your convictions.”

The same day, The San Diego Union-Tribune endorsed Clinton — the first Democrat it has endorsed in its history.

Trump, meanwhile, is supported by far fewer publications. They include a paper owned by son-inlaw Jared Kushner (the New York Observer) and the National Enquirer, a tabloid whose parent company is run by Trump friend David Pecker and whose content usually focuses on celebrity scandal.

Trump scorned the negative editorials Friday, tweeting that “The people are really smart in cancelling subscriptions to the Dallas & Arizona papers & now USA Today will lose readers! The people get it!”

CAMPUS

Family Weekend brings parents, fun to Tech

By LEXI CARDEN Staff Writer

Because of Lubbock’s isolated location, many students at Texas Tech are long distances away from their families. This affects the amount of times students are able to see their parents.

Tech has acknowledged this for years and created Family Weekend. According to the Family and Parent Relations webpage, this tradition has been hosted at Tech every year since 1936.

This year, Family Weekend was hosted from Thursday through Sunday.

The purpose of Family Weekend is to give parents a chance to visit campus and reconnect with their children.

On Thursday, parents kicked off the weekend with a tailgate before the football game, provided by the Tech Parents Association.

“We loved the game, and we had never been to a college

football game before until this weekend,” Susan Amrhein, mother of Hayden Amrhein, a freshman undeclared major from The Colony, said.

Friday had many events as well, such as athletic tours, photo opportunities, the ribboncutting ceremony for the new Welcome Center and an author reading and book signing.

Friday afternoon, parents and their students attended an ice cream social outside of the Student Union Building, where they could visit and meet other families.

“I like this (weekend) since I’m being able to hang out with my parents,” Matthew Raffaele, a freshman environmental engineering major from Austin, said.

The weekend continued into Saturday where several outdoor activities took place.

Saturday morning consisted of a family weekend fun run and walk in which students and their parents ran or walked around the

Urbanovsky Park’s 1-mile track. There were obstacles, inflatables and activities around the track for the entire family to enjoy.

Following the morning run were the college receptions along with the family weekend picnic in Urbanovsky Park.

This picnic had many activities such as live music by Zoe Carter, a balloon artist, sand volleyball, appearances from the Tech spirit squads, the Masked Rider and Raider Red and visits from Tech women’s soccer and volleyball teams.

Saturday night was the closing of family weekend, and it ended with the Tech Parents Association’s 60th Anniversary Celebration and a night at the leisure pool.

Claire Boswell, a freshman pre-nursing major from Glen Rose, said she thinks her parents will attend the Family Weekend in the future, so they will be able to see her during the year. @LexiCardenDT

Deepest underwater cave found in Czech Republic

PBS documentary spotlights Latino voting advocate

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A team of explorers say they’ve discovered that a cave in the eastern Czech Republic is the world’s deepest flooded fissure, going at least 404 meters (1,325 feet) deep.

Polish explorer Krzysztof Starnawski, who led the team, told The Associated Press on Friday that he felt like a “Columbus of the 21th century” to have made the discovery near the Czech town of Hranice.

Starnawski, 48, determined Tuesday that the flooded limestone Hranicka Propast, or Hranice Abyss, which divers, including him, have explored for de cades in its upper parts, was at least 404 meters deep. He scuba dived

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Willie Velasquez isn’t as well-known as other Latino activists like Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta and Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales.

But according to a new VOCES/PBS documentary airing next week, he was a key figure in developing the Latino voting bloc years before it became the nation’s largest minority group and before both parties actively sought Latino voters’ support.

Latino Public Broadcasting’s “Willie Velasquez: Your Vote Is Your Voice” aims to bring attention to the voting rights advocate who came from San Antonio’s poor west side and ended up rubbing elbows with the likes of President Ron-

to a narrow slot in the rock formation at 200 meters down, then sent a remotely operated underwater robot, or ROV, that went to the depth of 404 meters, or the length of its cord, but still did not hit the bottom.

In 2015, Starnawski himself passed through the slot and went to 265 meters down without reaching the cave’s bottom, which made him want to do more exploring. But after diving that far down, Starnawski had to spend over six hours in a decompression chamber, and decided he needed a robot instead.

Speaking on the phone from his home in Krakow, southern Poland, Starnawski said Tuesday’s discovery makes Hranice

Abyss the world’s deepest known underwater cavity, beating the previous record-holder, a flooded sinkhole in Italy called Pozzo del Merro, by 12 meters (39 feet).

The Czech Speleological Society said it thinks the cave is even deeper and will yield additional records. When the robot was 404 meters deep “it was as deep as its rope could go, but the bottom was still nowhere in sight,” the society said.

Diving in the cave is a challenge, because of its muddy areas and a water temperature of 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit). The water’s mineral composition also damages equipment and injures exposed skin, Starnawski said.

ald Reagan and Sen. Ted Kennedy. He persuaded Republicans in the 1970s and ‘80s to reach out to Hispanics because of the g r o w i n g L a t i n o v o t e rregistration numbers in swing districts.

Velasquez might have done even more to foster Hispanic political power if not for his sudden death at age 44.

“It feels like I’ve been working on his story for 30 years,” said director Hector Galan, who interviewed Velasquez in 1983 at the height of his popularity in Texas. “And here it is.”

An early protégé of the late U.S. Congressman Henry B. Gonzalez, a young Velasquez was mentored by the generation of Mexican-American

activists who helped elect President John F. Kennedy. Velasquez saw how poll taxes and voter intimidation kept MexicanAmericans from the polls and sought to change that.

But Velasquez soon got swept up in the farmworkers movement in California led by Chavez and Huerta. He also became captivated by the radical Chicano Movement until leaders opted to form an ethnic-based political party called La Raza Unida.

Velasquez left organized politics and started the nonpartisan, nonprofit Southwest Voter Registration Education Project.

The group’s goal: register as many Latinos to vote as possible in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California and Colorado.

CHICAGO (AP) — The man who got generations of hot dog lovers singing along to the Oscar Mayer Wiener song has died.

Richard Trentlage died Sept. 21 in Libertyville, Illinois, at the age of 87, according to an obituary posted online by a northern Illinois funeral home.

With the words, “Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener,” Trentlage helped solidify the company’s hot dogs as a piece of Americana. The jingle he wrote appeared in a

was all smiles as he held hands with model Hadid in a pink and beige sheeny Givenchy turtleneck jersey and slicked-back hair.

Kardashian, who arrived in a revealing satin and tulle pearl Givenchy b u s t i e r t h a t c o n t r a s ted with her front row neighbor Courtney Love in black, had for once to share the spotlight.

Riccardo Tisci channeled naturally occurring crystal and stones for a vivid spring-summer

Funky stripes met contrasting dotted patterns that evoked — in bold multicolor — the formation of crystals at the molecular level.

1960s television commercial featuring cartoon children marching along and singing.

The tune remained a fixture for the next half a century.

Trentlage was born in Chicago and began penning jingles as a high school student, starting with one about a fictional company he called Modern Plastic Brooms. The idea was to dream up a believable sponsor for a school talent show and sing the jingle during commercial breaks in a performance modeled after a radio program.

The Modern Plastic Broom jingle was evidently so memorable that his former classmates sang it during a 50th reunion.

Trentlage transformed his living room into a makeshift recording studio, inviting his own children to sing on audition tapes. His children even recorded “on-air” sessions.

“We were always getting out of school to hop a train and meet our dad at a Chicago recording studio,” his daughter, Linda Bruun, recalled in the funeral home obituary.

‘Folksong Festival’ radio host Oscar Brand dies LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oscar Brand, a longtime force on the American folk scene whose radio program “Folksong Festival” showcased Woody Guthrie and a young Bob Dylan among music greats and newcomers, has died, his manager said Saturday. He was 96.

Brand died Friday at his home in Great Neck, New York, after two bouts with pneumonia in recent weeks, said Doug Yeager, his longtime manager and friend.

He had been hospitalized before the decision was made to bring him home, Yeager said. Brand taped his final “Folksong Festival” for public radio station WNYC two weeks ago, and it aired Saturday, Sept. 24.

He was “a unique and extraordinary individual” and versatile artist, Yeager said.

“I don’t know of another artist who could perform a l o n g s i d e Wo o d y G u t h rie in overalls among the poorest of the poor,” move on to a radio performance with mainstream star Kate Smith and then conduct an interview with first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, Yeager said. He also recorded some 100 albums, wrote eight books, created TV shows, composed Broadway musi-

cals and made films.

The 70 years Brand spent with “Folksong Festival” earned him and the program a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the longestairing radio show with the same host (Guinness lists the program’s debut year as 1945). Brand did the show — a casual mix of song, conversation and humor — as a public service: He never accepted payment for his work.

He was honored with a George Foster Peabody Award for decades “in service to the music and messages of folk performers and fans around the world,” according to the 2005 announcement.

A native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, in Canada, Brand moved to the United States with his parents as a child.

He became part of the American folk music revival in the 1940s, collaborating with Guthrie, Lead Belly, Josh White, Burl Ives and Pete Seeger. Brand’s radio guests included Dylan, Harry Belafonte, Odetta, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell.

During the anti-communist fervor of the 1940s and ‘50s, Brand continued to invite politically active artists, including those who were blacklisted. Brand was not

a Communist Party member, but he felt compelled to support free speech, according to a biography provided by his manager.

Brand’s work for the theater included scoring the Kennedy Center’s Bicentennial musical “Sing American Sing,” writing and scoring ballets for Agnes DeMille and writing the Broadway musicals “A Joyful Noise” and “The Education of Hyman Kaplan.”

For TV, he created and hosted Canada’s 1960s music series “Let’s Sing Out,” which featured then-fledgling artists including Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen and Harry Chapin. His U.S. TV shows included a 2001 PBS tribute to Guthrie, “Woody & Me.” Brand also made awardwinning documentary films and recorded a variety of albums, including “Presidential Campaign Songs 1776-1976: Sung by Oscar Brand” and “Bawdy Songs and Backroom Ballads.” He wrote pop songs for Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald and others.

His survivors include his wife of 46 years, Karen, and their son, along with three children from a previous marriage and grandchildren.

RACE

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “When the survivors parade in, it’s like wow. This is what it is all about,” Jana Hunter, executive director of Komen Lubbock Area, said. “It’s amazing to see (the survivors) be connected with each other.”

The longest living survivor has fought breast cancer for more than 50 years, Hunter said. This gives people hope and inspires them.

When the (breast cancer) survivors parade in, it’s like wow. This is what it is all about.

JANA HUNTER KOMEN LUBBOCK AREA The opening ceremony included a performance from Hannah Jackson, a singer who made it to the top 40 on Simon Cowell’s show “The X Factor,” and a parade of survivors led by the Lubbock High School Drumline and followed by the Texas Tech Saddle Tramps.

“It was so much fun. It is a huge event, but we have a lot of support from the community and a lot of people willing to give up their time, talent and treasure for this,” Julie Doss, chair for the Susan G. Komen Race, said.

The Susan G. Komen

organization was started in 1982 by Nancy G. Brinker as a way to honor her sister, who passed away due to the disease, Hunter said. The Komen Lubbock Area was started in 1995 to promote early detection of breast cancer and support those who are fighting the disease.

“We made a huge leap from ’82 to 2016, and the leap from 2016 to 2026 is going to be even bigger, but we can’t do it without people’s support,” Hunter said.

Susan G. Komen has a new goal of reducing the number of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. by 50 percent in the next 10 years, Hunter said. The foundation has come a long way in 35 years and will continue to make progress toward defeating breast cancer.

Lubbock has a sense of community, Doss said, and the race is a family affair where everyone can come and celebrate life irrespective of whether one is a survivor or a supporter.

“I think it’s our job to give back to the community,” Doss said. “It’s a lot of work, but it is all for a good cause.” @AlyssaAcostaDT

Police stop Schwarzenegger while riding bike BERLIN (AP) — A police officer in Germany got himself an unusual souvenir after finding none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger breaking the rules at Munich’s main train station.

Federal police say the officer stopped Schwarz e n e g g e r ’s b o d y g u a r d

and then the movie star and former California governor himself riding bikes Friday along the station’s platforms.

Police said Saturday that Schwarzenegger apologized, explaining he was having trouble walking, and offered to take a pic-

A police statement noted that “after brief small talk with the federal police officer, the ‘Terminator’ left the main station through the north entrance.”

It said Schwarzenegger walked away, pushing his bike.

Shimonek steps up in Mahomes’ absence

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

After junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes II went down with a reported AC joint sprain injury in the third quarter against the Kansas Jayhawks, the other junior quarterback Nic Shimonek stepped up as starting quarterback for Texas Tech.

Against Kansas, Shimonek stepped in and threw for 271 yards and four touchdowns with zero interceptions under his belt “ Yo u j u s t g o t t a b e ready at all times,” Shimonek said. “Stuff happens obviously, it’s a contact sport. Coach (David) Gibbs does a great job of getting us ready.”

S h i m o n e k ’s l o n g e s t pass of the game was a 59-yard touchdown pass to sophomore receiver Jonathan Giles.

So far during the 2016 season, Shimonek has passed for a total of 421 yards and five touchdowns with one interception.

Against Stephen F. Austin, he had 150 passing yards

with one touchdown.

He started out at Iowa where he had a redshirt season his freshman year.

He then transferred his sophomore year to Tech.

In the 2015 season, Shimonek finally had a chance to play college football.

A native of Corsicana, Shimonek went to Mildred High School, and he was a finalist for state Player of the Year his senior year.

In both his senior and junior years, he was honorable mention for all-state.

According to Tech Athletics Shimonek was also named the district and area Offensive MVP. According to Tech Athletics, Shimonek has a wide variety of awards from his high school career.

During his senior year, Shimonek passed for 2,714 yards and 33 touchdowns.

“There’s not a harder worker on the team,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “I had seen him do that in practice. I know how good he is, but it was good for his teammates, the other coaches, fans to see what he can do.

He threw some incredible passes. I don’t know what his quarterback rating is, but it has to be incredible.

Made all the right reads, had some great checks.”

In the game against Kansas, Shimonek had a 242.7 QB rating.

His overall rating for the season so far is 169.1, according to ESPN. During a media conference, Giles said the players trust Shimonek.

“We have a complete faith in Nic (Shimonek),” Giles said. “He’s a hard worker, and it’s the next man up. So when Pat (Mahomes) went down, unfortunately, Nic came in and did his job.”

Throughout the media conference it was said often that Shimonek is a hard worker.

All of his statistics came in the second half against Kansas, when Mahomes went down.

When Shimonek finished the game after coming in during the third quarter, he connected with Giles for 131 yards and one touchdown.

Overall, Giles had 219 receiving yards and two touchdowns on the night.

“It was awesome,” Giles said. “We knew that once Pat (Mahomes) went down, Nic (Shimonek) was going to come in and make some plays because he’s a hard worker. He’s competing in the weight room, he’s competing in practice, and we just knew that we had a good quarterback coming in.”

Kingsbury said Shimonek knows the offense well, and during the media conference Shimonek said it is all about rhythm.

In his collegiate career, Shimonek has played in only four games, according to ESPN. “With this offense, once you get in a rhythm, I mean I’ve seen Pat do it for the past two years, so it’s pretty easy once you get in a rhythm,” Shimonek said. “Like I said, coach Kingsbury does a great job of getting all of us ready, all the quarterbacks. It’s about getting in there and making stuff happen.” @JackDensmore_DT

Kingsbury impressed with defensive performance

By ARIANA HERNANDEZ Staff Writer

Texas Tech’s defense came out against Kansas and put on a show for the Red Raider fans.

All the hard work the defense has been doing in practice has been paying off, sophomore defensive back Jah’Shawn Johnson said. The game against Kansas was a testament to that.

Johnson had one interception, four solo tackles and one assisted tackle against Kansas.

“Definitely we improved in a lot of areas. We had a great bye week, and we practiced hard during that time,” Johnson said. “I mean it showed (Thursday evening), we flew around very well.

Finally got some turnovers that we’ve been lacking two weeks now. And overall I think we played great.”

The streak of no turnovers for the Tech defense came to a close as it racked up a couple of takeaways against Kansas.

Senior defensive back Justis Nelson said he thinks the defense will be able to build off these couple of turnovers as the Red Raiders head into the next Big 12 Conference game against Kansas State.

“Yeah, that was definitely a big point,” Nelson said.

“We haven’t had any the past two games. So we kind of got to breathe a little bit.

And once you get one turnover, more start coming. So hopefully, we can carry that over into the next weeks.”

The defense held Kansas to 296 rushing yards and had a total of 61 combined tackles.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said he is impressed with the defense’s play.

“I thought they did a great job,” Kingsbury said. “Best performance by them so far. Lots of energy, created a couple turnovers. So, very proud of that group.”

Nelson has a total of 17 tackles for the 2016 season, and this weekend Nelson had a total of three tackles.

Both the offense and the defense held their own, while also picking up any slack from the others, Nelson said. “ C o l l e c t i v e l y, I d o (think we had a good performance), as an offense and defense,” Nelson said.

“Defense stepped up when the offense wasn’t, offense did when defense was slacking a little bit. But as a whole, we’re proud of

what we put on film.”

Freshman defensive back Kevin Moore and freshman linebacker Jordyn Brooks finished Thursday collectively with four tackles. They have 29 tackles between the two of them for the 2016 season.

Sophomore defensive back D’Vonta Hinton is getting back into rhythm of things, Johnson said, and, for young players, both Moore and Brooks did well during the game.

“I’d definitely have to say our front seven, stayed in

our gaps for the most part,” Johnson said. “Tackled very well. Got a lot of pressure on the quarterbacks, had a lot of young guys stepped up tonight. Kevin Moore, Jordyn Brooks played well, D’Vonta is finally getting back into his groove, and the defense looked pretty good.”

Nelson said he was thankful for the defensive line for putting some muchneeded pressure on the quarterback, which loosens the defensive back’s job.

When asked which group

did the most Thursday, Nelson said the defensive line stood out to him.

“I would have to say the whole D-line,” Nelson said.

“They got some pressure on the quarterback, made him hold the ball for a long time, and that’s what we like as DBs. If they can get pressure on the quarterback, it makes our job a lot easier.”

Tech’s defense went six of 13 on third down.

In the past, the defense was not the best in that area.

However, Thursday night it performed at a higher level, Kingsbury said.

“We have struggled in that department, and I thought our pass rush was better,” Kingsbury said, “and getting them in those third and long situations is key, and I was very proud of the defensive effort.”

Tech coach David Gibbs is in his second season at Tech as the defensive coordinator.

Nelson said he is grateful for the opportunity Gibbs and the other coaches have given him and credits them for his success at Tech as he continues into his senior season.

“Coach Gibbs puts us in great positions, positions where we can thrive and make plays,” Nelson said.

“It is my senior year, so you have to leave it all out on the field because this opportunity might not come again. So just thank the whole coaching staff and everybody for putting us in positions.” @A_HernandezDT
