Students participate in annual fundraiser for cancer research

By CAROLINE COURTNEY STAFF WRITER

SUPPORTERS WALK DOWN the steps at the City of Lubbock Civic Center Sunday during the Race for the Cure.

Saturday, downtown Lubbock was overtaken by pink shirts, pink balloons and pink dogs.

More than 8,500 people participated in the annual 5k and one-mile run hosted by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization to support breast cancer research, survivors and patients.

“It is unreal to see this come together,” said event coordinator Stephanie Winters. “I just lost it in tears. We do this for the survivors. It is to completely honor them and to cure the disease they’ve gone through

that we don’t want other people to have to battle.”

Winters said some type of grant from the Susan G. Komen organization has funded every single piece of research done on breast cancer, and events like this continue that tradition.

“Seventy-five percent of what we raise today will stay right here on the South Plains,” Winters said. “Twentyfive percent will go to nationals for national grants and research. When final numbers come in, I think we will have raised half a million dollars.

That’s pretty incredible.”

Urban Tech hosts First Friday Art Trail event

New architecture program to design Avenue J development

By LISA HYNDMAN STAFF WRITER

Urban Tech, a newly formed urban-architectural program run by Texas Tech architecture students, is designing a new development for Avenue J in downtown Lubbock.

The organization hosted an event during the First Friday Art Trail Friday evening to help raise awareness about the project.

According to Urban Tech’s mission statement, the group will clarify the public benefits of architecture, promote the creation of new knowledge and serve as a laboratory for ethical professional behavior where community needs supersede private agendas.

David A. Driskill, an associate professor and director of Urban Tech, said the program engages in public projects such as the new design for Avenue J in the downtown district. The organization is lead

by Driskill along with a handful of architecture students.

Amy Walker, an architecture graduate student from Lake Kiowa, said the program was formed to show the community what Tech students can do for them.

“We are trying to bring architecture to the Arts District,” Walker said.

Avenue J serves as a northsouth axis connecting the Civic and Arts District to the Depot District.

IOWA STATE QUARTERBACK Austen Arnaud looks down field to throw during the Cyclones’ win against Texas Tech on Saturday in Ames, Iowa.

By MIKE GRAHAM STAFF WRITER

Texas Tech football fell to 2-2 on the season and 0-2 in Big 12 Conference play with a 52-38 road loss against Iowa State Saturday.

The Red Raiders faced a 24-0 deficit near the end of the first half but managed to get two late first-half touchdowns and ultimately pulled even at 24, leaving the outcome of the game well in doubt.

But the Red Raiders’ offensive and defensive units never seemed to match each other’s tempos at the right time, and it ultimately cost the Red Raiders the game.

“I feel sorry for the guys,” Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville said. “They fought hard tonight. We didn’t look good on offense or defense at times, and at times we looked pretty good. It’s just, I don’t know. Weird game.

“We just never played together as a group. When the offense played good, the defense would let down and vice versa. We just have a lot of work to do.”

On the other hand, Iowa State had its best game in Big 12 Conference his-

Tech’s offense, defense struggle in loss. STORY, Pg. 7 tory against the Red Raiders.

The Cyclones’ 52 points Saturday were the most they had ever scored against a Big 12 opponent, and their most points ever in a game since 2002.

Iowa State also put up 441 total yards of offense, its best performance of the 2010 season thus far.

The Red Raiders amassed 508 yards, though, making the loss more perplexing.

Taylor Potts completed 42-of-62 passes, throwing for 377 yards, and the running game managed 132 yards on 25 attempts. The Red Raiders also had 28 first downs in the game compared to the Cyclones’ 22.

“It felt like we were hit and miss sometimes,” Potts said. “We need to be hit all the time, and we were kind of hitting and missing at times.”

NYC mosque’s imam getting death threats NEW YORK (AP) — The wife of an imam planning an Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero says she and her husband have received death threats.

Daisy Khan said Sunday the lives of her and Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf are “under threat.”

Police can’t confirm the threats.

Khan was part of a discussion of Islam on ABC’s “This Week” news program.

She says moderate Muslims like her must lead the fight against extremists.

She says if moderates are branded extremists they’ll be thrown into the arms of al-Qaida.

Developer Sharif El-Gamal has released preliminary sketches of the Islamic center. Groundbreaking is probably two to three years away.

Opponents say the center should be farther away from where Islamic extremists destroyed the World Trade Center on Sept. 11. Supporters say religious freedom should be protected.

Tech Law Review hosts 7th golf scramble fundraiser

BY BROOKE BELLOMY STAFF WRITER

The Texas Tech Law Review hosted the seventh annual fundraising golf tournament Saturday afternoon at Shadow Hills Golf Course.

Texas Tech Law Review is a student-run academic law journal that publishes issues quarterly. Currently, there are 70 students in Law Review, 35 second-year students and 35 third-year law students.

In the golf scramble, all members of the team played the best ball on each shot. The game ended with a catered award and prize ceremony.

Seventeen teams of four players each participated in the scramble, about a four-team increase from last year’s scramble.

Tech Law Review business manager John Maniscalco, a third-year law student from Houston, said he expects the organization will make slightly more than $2,000 from the tournament, which will be used to offset operating costs such as paper and printer ink. Money raised will also help to fund student scholarships and maintain a new, cutting-edge website set to be up and running later this year.

Maniscalco said he attributed some of the success of the tournament to the management at Shadow Hills Golf Course.

“The golf course really helped a lot,” he said. “They made it really easy.”

Tech Law Review editor-in-chief John Ellis, a third-year law student from Brownwood, said he was excited to have such a great turnout and show of support for the Tech Law Review, which has been in existence as long as the law school itself.

Although many tournament participants were students at Tech Law School, Maniscalco said there were several more undergraduate participants this year than in years past.

Bobby Allen of Garland and Brandon Berry of College Station both traveled to Lubbock to play in the tournament with friends.

Berry said he enjoyed getting to visit a good friend and play a round of golf.

“I enjoyed visiting Lubbock and the great weather,” he said. “It was a great tournament, and I’d like to come back again next year.”

James Logue of Garland and Joseph Briers of College Station, both secondyear law students, said the golf tournament provided them with an opportunity to socialize with fellow law students as well as hone a skill important to their future careers.

“I liked being able to improve my golf skills,” Logue said. “It’s something I will utilize later in my career.”

The Texas Tech chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science sent 15 members of the organization to the SACNAS national conference Wednesday through Sunday in Anaheim, Cali.

SACNAS is a student organization that fosters diversity and

success for minorities in the field of science as well as acts as a home and family environment for students who may not receive support from home, said Stephanie Lomeli, SACNAS graduate student liaison. A goal of SACNAS is to help minority students attain advance degrees, develop professionally and obtain positions of leadership in the science industry by providing support and education to its members.

to establish a student chapter of the national organization, Lomeli said. Today, there are upwards of 50 student chapters across the United States.

At the opening events of the conference, the 26 members from Tech in attendance were able to take part in a history-making celebration, she said.

“The SACNAS conference and MAES Symposium attendees gathered on the first day, making it the largest gathering of minority scientists in the United States ever,” Lomeli said. “It was a powerful event.”

While at the conference, students were able to attend talks and panel discussions and participate in presentations and competitions.

Faculty adviser Jaclyn Cañas said she enjoyed judging poster competitions and really liked hearing the keynote speech by the Nobel Prize award winner in math, Richard Tatia of Rice University.

“He talked about the importance of minorities in the science and engineering fields,” she said. “It was inspirational and motivational.”

Cañas said she also received an award from the national orga-

nization for her work and effort in hosting the SACNAS Southwest Regional conference in Lubbock last February, which was attended by chapter representatives from Colorado State, Texas A&M, the University of Houston and UTSA. Cañas and Lomeli said several students were able to sit in on panel discussions by role model chapters in which they learned new and creative ways to recruit members and help current members get the most out of their involvement in SACNAS. The chapter will be hosting an application and writing workshop to help members fill out applications for the National Scholar Fellowship, an idea they got from the Berkley SACNAS chapter, Lomeli said.

“Before Berkley had a workshop to help with grant applications, 11 percent of their applications got the fellowship,” she said. “After the workshop, 47 percent got the scholarship. We’re hoping our students are able to benefit from the workshop, too.”

To learn more about SACNAS, students can attend the post-conference meeting at 5:30 p.m. today in Administration Building Room 341.

grants for research for Tech, Bunnell said. The money could be used to help fund the program as well as other projects they have planned.

“I’d like to see this develop into a more cultured town because everything is usually centered in downtown,” he said.

Nathan Harvey, an architecture graduate student from Lubbock, said he hopes to see this area grow into a hub with housing, businesses and parks.

“I didn’t even know about Avenue J,” said Harvey, chuckling, “and I grew up in Lubbock.”

Chad Bunnell, a senior architecture major from Abilene, said public awareness of the project is beneficial for the community as well as for Tech.

He said this redevelopment of Avenue J would help the economy by building businesses and housing. Building the prestige of this rundown community would attract more students and faculty to Tech.

Skating circles in ‘70s and ‘80s attire, the Texas Tech Men’s Club hosted a skate night as its first philanthropy event of the year Friday afternoon at Skate Ranch.

With more than 100 participants from outside the club, the group invited people to form teams of five for the skate-a-thon. Each team paid a $50 fee plus $10 for each extra member after the first five, and all proceeds from the event will be donated to the Lubbock Ronald McDonald House.

After looking into various charities and doing previous work with Habitat for Humanity, the club officers chose this as the cause they wanted the group to benefit for the fall semester.

“I talked with (RMH), and they were more than willing to work with us,” said John Stewart, the club’s president and a senior marketing major from McAllen.

Eric Odom, treasurer and senior agriculture economics major from Dimmitt, said because this is a group of all men, labor-intensive volunteer work like at Habitat is right up their alley, but this event took them outside their comfort zone.

Since all club members are a part of other organizations on campus, the 19 men are some of the most active students in the Tech community, Odom said. Because of their hectic schedules, this will be the first and only philanthropy event of the semester for the club.

Stewart said members wanted to give themselves plenty of time to prepare for the event since this is a first for the club.

In addition to the money raised from people joining in teams, TMC is donating an additional $1,000 in the name of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority because their group had the most people come to the event outside of the original five team members.

Although unsure of the exact amount raised, Stewart said the group surpassed its $1,500 goal.

Although sororities and fraternities have their own philanthropy events, many still came out to support TMC. Since so many people get involved with Greek philanthropy events outside of the chapters, it’s nice to give back to the community and help other Tech

organizations, said Sarah Hoffman, Theta team member and sophomore special education major from Houston. “(Giving back) helps you grow as a person,” said Emily Sulc, Pi Beta Phi team member and freshman restaurant, hotel and institutional management major from Plano. “If you’re going to be in a sorority and not do philanthropy stuff, it just doesn’t make sense.

It’s what we strive to do – to better ourselves by helping other people. It’s just really cool to affect other people’s lives.”

‘Hollywood’ college experience not real A

s you’re packing up all your worldly possessions for college, trying not to bring the “lame” stuff, images of drinks, smokes, sex and last minute studying fly through your head, half from anticipation and half from sheer nerves.

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Almost certainly all these things were part of many students’ ideas about the lifestyle of their next four years as their new life approached.

From the time we are able to do our ABC’s, the “idea” of college is pushed into our heads from all sides. It is forced upon us until we have built up into our minds an absolute belief in the false truths about the experience.

Our parents put it in our heads that college is impossibly difficult academically, yes, but the most concerning part of all this is the illusions our minds are filled with as we get slightly further away from the ABC’s phase. People like our older siblings and friends our age who have no idea what they are talking about build college up in our minds as four years when we will be able to do just about anything we want, and it will be easy to achieve that saucy, raunchy lifestyle that takes up movie screens all over America.

We end up so convinced of our projections about the college experience that, when we arrive, the reality ends up being a complete surprise and, for some students, somewhat disappointing. This is an attitude that isn’t exactly conducive to a positive first few weeks in university, and it is exactly what happened to me.

I always had a lot of friends and a fairly colorful social life in high school, so I figured I would need nothing more

Zach Morrison than to show up, and the social experience of college would fall right into my lap. So, naturally it came as a surprise to me that these parties made me feel uncomfortable; one could not just walk in. And being a non-drinker like me made life oddly difficult if I was looking to be part of the crowd that took up the fraternity houses on Thursday nights.

Now, I am the first to be supportive of a lifestyle that is a bit quieter and more sober, but it also seemed like I was the last. It is for these reasons that I would like to see American society as a whole throw off this ridiculous “American Pie” standard for college and focus on preparing our children for the reality of the experience.

It may not be as pretty, but it includes a certain difficulty in getting comfortable and making the right kinds of friends — those who won’t be forced to change the comfort zones of their sober lifestyle, if they so choose.

There are also potential roommate problems, insecurity and a large academic adjustment, not to mention the simple fact that new students actually tend to lose track of the fact that they are here for an education first and the other things second.

Let’s face it, tolerance for alcohol does not increase automatically, no matter what your drinking level was in high school, and girls do not sleep with everyone on campus. I submit that

it would be relatively simple to better prepare students for college by telling them that it will be hard, not easy.

This is not to say I believe in scaring potential students, but rather that, at least for students like me, the idea that an enriching social life is something to be built up by getting involved in organizations that are interesting and making study groups of others that share your interests.

These are all activities and ideals that I have found shape a great college experience far more than alcohol and a constant search for the parties you saw on the movie theater screens late in your high school career. So, I would advise students to get out of their rooms and stop staring at their cell phones for that call from the one older person they know that came to the same school.

Go to the welcome events, join clubs — even in your later years — and most of all stay true to your own lifestyle standards. It will lead you down a straight path to close friends that share your social tastes and will accompany you to a great and diverse college experience.

In conclusion, I would encourage new students to come into college with a completely clean slate of expectations and take their individual college experience and make it whatever they choose to. Yes, make those friends that fit your social and moral standards, but also remember to stay open to stepping outside your comfort zone when you feel that it will lead to a productive new experience.

All these ideals, combined with a rejection of the idea of college expressed in the entertainment industry, in my experience, make for a widely positive four years, and hopefully, great memories to tell afterwards.  Morrison is a freshman history major from The Woodlands. ➤➤ zachary.morrison@ttu.edu

Gun ownership good, guns on campus bad

I

t was a nightmare situation in Austin last week. On an otherwise normal day, a young man walked into the Perry-Castañeda Library at the University of Texas carrying a gun.

Students fled and found safety. Fortunately, no bystanders were hurt. UT’s emergency response plan was followed, and the situation quickly went from a scary one back to a secure one. Unfortunately for everyone, this has emboldened the concealed-carry proponents to again loudly clamor for the right to conceal carry on Texas universities.

Oddly enough, this is the absolute opposite time to do so. Think about it: Someone who obtained an assault rifle walked onto campus, threatening defenseless students. In the nightmare scenario portrayed by the NRA and adamant concealed-carry-on-campus supporters, the shooter just opens up and shoots everyone in sight, runs around campus and just absolutely massacres hundreds, all which could have been prevented by a single hero with a handgun.

In this case, a concealed carrier would be saving lives.

The shooter at UT obviously had no intention of killing other people.

Several reports said the suspect made eye contact with several frightened students and merely smiled before continuing through the facility. Imagine if one “heroic student” pulled out a pistol and took it upon himself to take down the shooter — there’s a very good chance the aforementioned suspect would have not only began shooting at his attackers, but other students in the crossfire.

This scenario, while farfetched, is just as likely as the company line carried by concealed-carry supporters, and could result in the loss of innocent life.

Any situation involving an active shooter is unstable and almost always unpredictable. Allowing concealed carry

Tony Cardone here at Texas Tech would only decrease the level of safety here on campus, and increase the unpredictability of the situation.

Let’s get one thing straight — I do not oppose gun ownership. I oppose the ownership of assault rifles (which the UT shooter had), but I completely understand the necessity of owning a small handgun or shotgun for protection and the ability to own a hunting rifle for sport. I’ve said this in the past. There are many situations where a gun is a necessary safety tool. Those who live alone cannot afford to wait 15 minutes for the police to arrive.

However, on a campus like Texas Tech, such needs are unnecessary. Texas Tech, much like UT and every other campus across the nation, has a qualified police force to ensure campus security.

For the most part, Tech’s police department can have a qualified officer on site within seconds.

These professionals, who have had hours of training on how to not only use a firearm, but also practice to ensure a situation does not result in the loss of innocent life, are able to decide and execute a plan much better than any gun owner.

If you’re thinking that all legal gun owners have to go through a rigorous training process to obtain the license, you’d be half right.

rather a DPS-certified instructor.

Although I do not have any experience with the CHL process, nearly everyone has had experience with the Department of Public Safety. These are the same people that run the extremely competent and comprehensive driver’s license division. The same department that is supposed to certify every driver in the state of Texas is a good driver who understands how to safely navigate a moving object through traffic. You can make your own conclusions.

CHL owners, according to the TECHsans for Concealed Carry on Campus, have never had a violent incident on a campus. Conversely, I could not find any instance where a concealed carrier has actually prevented an active shooter situation. The same organization claims that campus is a gun-free zone. Legally, that may be what campus is. However, the assertion that nobody on campus has a gun is wrong — those qualified police officers do.

If someone were to complete the course, they would be considered competent enough to carry a concealed weapon. Sure, they may have been taught in theory how to deal with a threat. And they may be competent enough to own and maintain a gun.

But it’s entirely different to defend your family against a home invasion than to point your gun at a shooter on campus with bystanders.

Is there a reasonable expectation that a student, who has only fired a gun at a paper target and potentially at a running deer, is capable of making the life or death decision of shooting another human being?  Cardone is a sophomore computer engineering major from San Antonio. ➤➤ tony.cardone@ttu.edu Copyright © 2010 Texas Tech University Student Media/The Daily Toreador.

GUEST COLUMN

Put stop to deadly intolerance W ithin the last few weeks, the nation has lost too many young people on the verge of adulthood, their lives tragically cut short by indifference, injustice, intolerance and acts so heinous their only way to end the torment was to end their own life.

Tyler Clementi, 18, jumped off the George Washington Bridge in New York because his roommate filmed him during an intimate encounter with another man in his dorm room. Tyler had asked his roommate if he could have some privacy one evening, and the roommate agreed, only to go to another person’s dorm room and remotely activate a web camera and broadcast Tyler’s private life on the Internet.

In California, a 13-year-old middle school student named Seth Walsh hung himself after enduring years of relentless bullying because he was gay.

He hung himself on Sept. 19 and was placed on life support until he died on Sept. 26. His mother, in an interview with the Tehachapi News said, “He was a very loving boy, very kind...

He was artistic and very bright.”

Billy Lucas, just 15, hung himself in his family’s barn after being bullied because he was “different.” He just didn’t fit in, and other students decided he was gay. He was called a piece

of crap and told he didn’t deserve to live. On the day Billy died, it was reported that bullies told him to kill himself.

In a suburb of Houston, Asher Brown, 13, took his own life after being bullied at Hamilton Middle School. Sadly, his torment continued after his death. On a memorial page set up on Facebook, people left foul comments about this young teen because he was gay. Comments so bad that the FOX station in Houston would not even report what was said.

Oct. 11 is National Coming Out Day, an internationally-observed awareness day for coming out and discussing LGBT issues.

This day is not just for those coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered, it is a day for open discussion about issues facing the LGBT community.

National Coming Out Day is a day for someone to stand up and say: No more intolerance toward someone’s sexuality or identity, no more hatred for someone who is gay, no more use of the word ‘fag,’ no more standing idly by while

“

someone is bullied because they are different.

Oct. 11 is a day to stand up and proudly say you are an ally, you are a friend, you are open to a discussion and you are there for those around you that identify as LGBT. This day shouldn’t be the only day of discussion; it should start this moment, right now, today. In a world in which four young people had nowhere to turn to get away from constant torment and bullying and were faced with only one way out is a world that needs to stand up and start discussing issues that are plaguing school yards, high school hallways and college campuses.

We should e n d i n t o l e rance, injustice and indifference toward anyone. We are all human; we all deserve respect, love and civility. Today is the day to say no more, so that we do not lose another person in the prime of their life.

We should end intolerance, injustice and indifference toward anyone. We are all human; we all deserve respect, love and civility.

We should repeal health care reform bill

By IAN BEZEK

ROCKY MOUNTAIN COLLEGIAN (COLORADO STATE U.)

Health care reform was supposed to control costs while also expanding health care coverage for those currently lacking.

It marginally succeeds at one and completely misses the mark on the other goal. This is not good enough.

The health care reform will, over the next decade, reduce the number of uncovered Americans to roughly 15 million, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

This is an improvement from today, though it certainly doesn’t provide coverage for as many people as hoped for.

Those who are covered by expanded government programs will, over time, end up getting inferior access and care from their plans, as a third of doctors have already quit accepting Medicaid patients.

People covered with a government plan are increasingly likely to face rationing and loss of choice about treatments in the coming years as well.

Massachusetts, having already

adopted a universal health care system, is facing sharply rising costs and is looking at aggressive means to control costs by limiting access to “low priority/low value services” and placing a total cap on the expenditures of the system each year.

While we aren’t about to witness Sarah Palin’s death panels, the quality of care provided by the government will sharply decline in the coming years as it begins to ration services and more doctors drop out of the system.

Proponents of the bill point to the fact that over the next decade, this bill will save the government a substantial sum of money. This is true.

But the savings comes from the fact that the government is shifting the burden of health care costs onto corporations and private citizens.

Shifting a cost is not the same as lowering the cost.

True reform would have lowered the rising trajectory of health care costs. This reform just tries to hide the problem with new taxes and regulations.

The core reform that makes the plan revenue positive for the government is the mandate that all Americans buy health insurance, with stiff fines for those people that ignore the mandate.

This mandate to buy health insur-

ance, whether you want it or not, does several things. It forces healthy young people –– a main group that lacks health insurance today –– to buy insurance they don’t need, in effect subsidizing the whole system.

Young people will pay far more in premiums than they receive in benefits, thus providing a source of new revenues for private insurers that will slow the rates of premium increases for existing customers.

The government is counting on this effect, plus the substantial revenue to be gained from fining those people who refuse to buy health insurance, to fund the rest of the health care reform.

The problem is that this mandate is probably unconstitutional. As the mandate is neither a tax nor a regulation that would pass constitutional muster on its own, its constitutionality is dubious.

Proponents argue that since many health care expenses cross state lines, they can be regulated by the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution.

We’ll see if that dubious argument holds up in court.

If the mandate is struck down, the economics of the whole bill quit working. Even if the mandate survives, this bill isn’t the sort of reform we need.

Imagine a world where nothing is secret and everything you do on the Internet is monitored, kept under surveillance and stored as data. Remember that Skype chat you had last week? Or how about that Facebook conversation you had yesterday? Yes, it’s a chilling idea.

Federal law enforcement and national security officials want Congress to implement new “wiretap” regulations that would be able to intervene and reveal concealed messages. This order would apply to communication services such as e-mail channels like Blackberry, software that allows “peer to peer” messaging like Skype and social networks such as Facebook.

According to Monday’s report

by The New York Times, the government’s reasoning is that “their ability to wiretap criminal and terrorism suspects is ‘going dark’ as people increasingly communicate online instead of by telephone.” The Obama administration has endorsed this and is planning to send in the bill to lawmakers next year.

Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Facebook refused to discuss this major privacy change.

Moody Planetarium hosts popular laser show to Pink Floyd

By AUDREY COLLINS STAFF WRITER

Friday evening the Moody Planetarium presented one of its most popular laser shows to the music on “The Dark Side of the Moon” by psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd. The event attracted many Texas Tech students as well as Lubbock-area families.

The planetarium is best described as a miniature IMAX theater, with a large, white domed ceiling and chairs that lean back so that the audience is sitting in a reclined position, making the large domed screen much more visible.

As the show begins, the lights go down and the audience is engulfed by inky blackness. The show kicks off with the faint sounds of a heartbeat filling the theater. It starts out slow and quiet, and then the speed increases as it gets louder, and you begin to hear the first sounds from “The Dark Side.”

As the music begins to play, smoke appears overhead, slowly moving with the music’s ambience, until the first guitar notes twang, which creates a streak of blue light that moves in accordance with the sound and rhythm.

As the songs reach each of their verses and choruses, a new scene appears overhead. Each laser-fed picture and scene depicts the lyrics of the song that is playing, creating a neon music video for the audience to enjoy.

As the show ends, the music fades away and is again replaced by the heartbeat, which this time continues to beat out a quick and heavy rhythm, before fading away into darkness until all sound and light fully dies.

ser shows, said that the Pink Floyd show is one the most popular attractions they offer, and at least one of the shows always sells out.

The Planetarium tries to host the musical laser shows every month, except around the time of finals.

While Pink Floyd takes over the main stage, they aren’t the only band on the bill.

“It’s one of our longer laser shows, and it’s one of the most popular,” Dyer said. “We usually do Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Metallica.”

While Dyer said she isn’t into the psychedelic ambience of Pink Floyd, she doesn’t let that stop her from enjoying the show.

“I’m not a real big fan of Pink Floyd,” Dyer said. “But it is a very good show. There’s some really nice graphics in the show and also in “The Wall” that we’re going to show on Oct. 28.”

Accounting major Andie Wolfe attended the show as a fan of rock ‘n’ roll and Pink Floyd just to see what it was all about.

“I thought it was pretty cool; I didn’t really know what to expect,” Wolfe said. “I guess maybe I thought more of like a concert, and I didn’t really expect, like, a laser show, but I thought it was pretty cool how it correlated to the music.”

Lucy Estes, a speech pathology major who Wolfe brought along to the show, said she had the same thoughts of not knowing what to expect but not being disappointed.

“I just thought there was going to be more, like, people and less lights,” said Estes, “But it was still cool.”

The planetarium will be presenting Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” on Oct. 28 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. ➤➤audrey.collins@ttu.edu

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Winters said the most tear-jerking part of the morning was the balloon ceremony. All breast cancer survivors held a pink balloon and released it into the air after the announcer called out the number of years they battled cancer.

Emily Guinn, a senior communication studies major from Tyler, said the balloon ceremony brought her, along with her friends supporting her, to tears.

“My mom found out she had breast cancer two years ago,” Guinn said. “I was shocked at first. I didn’t know what to do. She was in Tyler, and I was at Tech.”

Guinn said the hardest part was being away from her mother. While her parents insisted she remain in school, she said it was impossible to focus on classes when her mind was on her mother in the hospital.

Guinn helplessly watched her mother endure chemotherapy and radiation. She said she was constantly frustrated because she could not do anything to alter the situation. No matter how hard she wished or tried,

she could not remove her mother’s disease.

“I couldn’t magically remove her cancer,” Guinn said. “It was hard learning how to support someone in a different way.

“I was so used to having her there to support me,” Guinn said, “but I realized she physically couldn’t anymore, and I had to mature and support her. It was so hard, but I learned so much about life and what’s important and the sacrifices it takes to grow up.”

Guinn said after seeing her mother’s struggle, she will always support her mother and fellow breast cancer survivors by participating in Race for the Cure.

Along with thousands of other participants in the race, Guinn wore a paper on the back of her shirt in celebration of the survivors she was supporting – her mother and her two grandmothers.

“This was my first chance to go to the race,” Guinn said. “It was amazing being there and seeing all the people who’ve shared my mom’s experience. I think the most exciting part was seeing all the people who haven’t had breast cancer that were just there to support the survivors and the cause.”

Taryn Crews, a friend of Guinn’s, supported her at the race.

“She was really upset, and when her

mom went through chemo, it was really hard for her to see her go through it, especially when she lost her hair. She wouldn’t talk much about it during the chemo part and when she was in the hospital.”

Crews said Guinn is no longer quiet about her mother’s disease and instead celebrates her recovery.

“Her whole family’s story gives a lot of hope to others fighting cancer right now,” Crews said. “Emma makes sure people

know that it is a serious disease but you can fight it.”

As Guinn participates in events sponsored by Susan G. Komen for the Cure, she does so with a dual focus.

“I do this to raise money for cancer research,” Guinn said. “But for me, it’s more about raising awareness. If you catch it early enough, like my mom did, you can fight it and you can win.” ➤➤caroline.courtney@ttu.edu

Offense’s slow start, defense’s inconsistency plagues Tech Tech snaps 64-match Big 12 losing streak Page 6 Monday, Oct. 4, 2010

By MIKE GRAHAM

By JOSH KOCH STAFF WRITER

Jackie Vincent is one of two seniors on the Texas Tech volleyball team — the other, Caroline Courtney — who have spent their entire collegiate careers wearing the scarlet and black of Tech.

But the two experienced something Saturday that hasn’t been accomplished within the volleyball program since their freshman year at Tech: a Big 12 Conference victory.

“Oh my gosh, everyone was just going crazy, and it was awesome,” Vincent said after the win.

“That’s the feeling that we have missed the most, and I think if you ask anyone that they can agree with me. And just, I think everyone on their feet helped out a lot.”

But it didn’t always look like the match’s result would favor Tech, as Kansas (11-6, 2-4 in Big 12 play) opened the first set on a 7-2 run.

The Red Raiders battled back but just could never get out of the hole they had dug themselves into at the beginning of the set.

Tech lost the opening set 25-21.

After switching sides, Tech took a page out of Kansas’ book, opening the set on a run of their own, 6-2.

That lead would later extend to 11-5, followed by a 3-0 Jayhawk run. However, Tech would remain in control, winning the set 25-20.

At that point, the set was only the second the Red Raiders (3-12, 1-5) had clinched in Big 12 play this season. Outside hitter and middle blocker Amanda Dowdy had posted her seventh career double-double by this point in the

match with 14 kills and 10 digs.

After all was said and done, Dowdy posted two career-highs in kills with 25 and digs with 15.

Dowdy said this outing just had a different feel to it than past contests.

“Just the intensity and excitement in our crowd, our fans were awesome this game,” she said. “So, shout out to the fans — come to more games, but our whole team felt so confident the whole way. I mean, we never lost it, and I’m so proud of them for that because that’s what we’ve been missing.”

After the Jayhawks came out and took a quick 4-2 lead in the third set, Tech responded, tying things at four apiece.

Kansas seemed to have taken control for a while after that, though, but the Red Raiders would not lie down in defeat.

Instead, Tech countered to tie it at 14 apiece and eventually took a 16-14 lead.

But Kansas had a rally of their own, stealing the lead back, 20-19.

Once again, the Red Raiders showed the ability to climb out of a hole, going on a 6-2 run to take the set and a 2-1 set lead.

With one set separating Tech from the win, the crowd in the United Spirit Arena began to sense victory drawing nearer and came to life.

But the Jayhawks silenced the crowd after a back-and-forth battle in the fourth set. Tech pulled within one point of the Jayhawks at 16-15, but Kansas went on a 5-0 run and won the set 25-20.

So, this resulted in a fifth set, the deciding set, which is played to just 15 points.

TEXAS TECH'S TORY Vaughan digs a ball against Baylor Sept. 29. The Red Raiders defeated KU Saturday to earn their Big 12 win of the year.

Freshman middle blocker and outside hitter Aubree Piper paced Tech, leading the team to an early 5-1 lead.

After the match, Piper, who was accustomed to winning at Randall High School in Amarillo, said the win was unbelievable.

“It’s been so incredible, I can’t describe the feeling,” Piper said.

“We went into this game saying we’re gonna have fun, we’re not gonna play with any fear. And talk is easy, but we went out there, and we played absolutely fearless, like, left everything out on the

floor; everyone did.”

Piper logged a career-high 11 kills and recorded a .400 hitting percentage, which also is a career-high.

Tech’s momentum would carry it throughout the final set, with the Red Raiders eventually owning a 14-7 lead.

The fans sensed the final sequence approaching, as many rose to their feet in support of the team.

After some back and forth across the net, the ball was finally hit out by a Kansas player, result-

ing in a wave of cheering and applause from the crowd, which was there to witness Tech clinch their first Big 12 win since Sept.

12, 2007.

“Well, I’m glad it happened at home,” Knight said. “I wouldn’t have cared if it had happened on the road, but it’s so much a better feeling that it happened at home in front of your hometown crowd who was just going nuts, and we finally gave them a reason to really cheer and be happy.

It’s just a great feeling.”

Additionally, the win also was a first for Knight in Big 12 play

since making her arrival in Lubbock to be the head coach of the volleyball program.

And now that the once 64-match losing streak in conference play is no more, Knight said it should be her players who feel the most relieved to have earned this victory.

“The neatest thing is it’s just so great to see that smile on your player’s faces, and for them to relax and have accomplished that,” Knight said. “There has just been all that pressure building up on them forever. So, I’m just happy for them.” ➤➤joshua.koch@ttu.edu

Iowa State had just upset Texas Tech 52-38, and the Red Raiders got off the field in a hurry, probably hoping to get back to Lubbock, the first step in getting toward next week’s game against Baylor.

The walk back to the Red Raider locker room was mostly in silence – except for some children dressed in Cyclone gear begging for, and sometimes receiving, some of the Red Raiders’ gear – used receiver gloves, used wrist bands, etc.

The silence continued when head coach Tommy Tuberville entered the media room set up for him in Jack Trice Stadium, but he seemed patient with his team – and with others – during his postgame media conference.

As he waited for all the reporters to get set, he took time to look over the final stats from the game and just shook his head.

“Everything, to me, looked pretty good in terms of two teams playing hard,” Tuberville said later in the postgame conference. “We’re just not good enough to go out there and make that many mistakes and have a chance to beat anybody.”

Some reporters missed the scene in Tuberville’s postgame conference, though, caught amid Cyclone fans milling around and high-fiving each other in

The Cyclones kept the Tech defense on the field for 18 minutes in the first half, which may have softened the defense later in the game, but safety Franklin Mitchem said it was just a matter of preventing some game-changing plays.

“I don’t think it wore us out,” Mitchem said. “They made the plays, and those plays were really just long-yardage plays.

They just made big plays, and we couldn’t execute the defense tonight.”

the concourse areas. A scene that rarely happens when Iowa State plays a Big 12 Conference game.

The Cyclones (3-2, 1-1 in Big 12 play) are one of the worst teams statistically in a variety of Big 12 categories.

It was a game of missed opportunities for the Red Raiders that allowed Iowa State to come away with the victory.

The Red Raiders’ offense came out flat after a lot of talk during the week leading up to the game about how much the offense would be improved.

To the contrary, Texas Tech’s offense started the game very poorly, accumulating just three first-downs through 27 minutes of play, while Iowa State hopped out to a 24-0 lead.

But the offense finally came around late in the first half.

The Red Raiders were able to get two quick scores late in the second quarter and then ultimately tied the game at 24-24 by the end of the third.

By game’s end, quarterback Taylor Potts and the Tech receivers accumulated 377 yards through the air, and the running game vastly benefitted from Iowa State’s respect for the passing game, compiling more than 100 yards on the ground.

Things slipped away for Tech, however, as the Cyclones outscored the Red Raiders (2-2, 0-2) 28-14 in the fourth quarter.

got the game’s first touchdown. From that point, the Tech offense sputtered, while Iowa State put on 17 more points for a 24-0 lead late in the second quarter.

Until the final three minutes of play in the first half, the Red Raiders had just 67 total yards of offense and three first downs.

Everything started to change on a late first-half drive for Tech.

Quarterback Taylor Potts orchestrated an eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that featured seven complete passes and just one run to pull to 24-7 in the final minute of the half.

Seconds later, after the Iowa State offense mismanaged the clock and went three-and-out, a poor snap on the Cy-

IOWA STATE WIDE receiver Josh Lenz catches a touchdown pass during Saturday’s game against Texas Tech in Ames, Iowa. Iowa State defeated Texas Tech 52-38.

Entering Saturday’s game, the Cyclones statistically had the worst offense in the Big 12. Potts was asked after the game if it stung more than usual to lose to a team with such a low offensive output.

“A little, I guess,” Potts replied.

Tech’s defense helped the Red Raiders claw back into the game through the third quarter, but just could not get a stop in the final period.

“That’s not normally how we play our defense,” safety Franklin Mitchem said.

“Their offense just made plays, and we didn’t execute our defense.”

This week, the Red Raiders will try

to snap the skid when they take on quarterback Robert Griffin and the rest of the Baylor Bears in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl.

Defensive tackle Colby Whitlock knows Tech won’t snap the skid if they play like they did Saturday.

“We’re going back to the drawing board,” Whitlock said. “Starting (Sunday) when we go out to practice, we’ll work hard, make our corrections and do what we’ve got to do to win every game from here on out.”

clones’ attempted punt sailed past punter Kirby Van Der Kamp and set the Red Raiders up on the Iowa State 20-yard line.

Potts connected with Leong on the very next play for a 24-14 halftime deficit.

Tech scored on a Matt Williams field goal on its opening drive in the third quarter, and Potts connected with Leong again to tie the game up.

But the wheels began to fall off in the fourth quarter when receiver Detron Lewis made a reception and fumbled, unforced, giving the Cyclones some momentum — a 39-yard touchdown drive to recapture the lead 31-24.

Iowa State made it a two-possession game on its next drive with a one-play, 61-yard touchdown by Cyclone running

back Shontrelle Johnson with 13 minutes left in the game.

Tech and Iowa State traded a touchdown later in the fourth quarter, and Leong brought the game back into reach with his third touchdown grab of the night with 1:30 remaining in the game to bring the score to 45-38.

But Tech’s onside kick attempt following Leong’s last score was returned for a touchdown, sealing the game for the Cyclones and handing the Red Raiders their second consecutive loss.

“We fought back, and I thought if we could ever get the lead, we’d take control of the game,” Tuberville said.

Tech in danger of missing bowl, needs more consistency The cold, gray weather enveloping Lubbock Sunday morning seemed fitting.

The outlook is gloomy for Texas Tech fans whose psyche was battered and bruised during and after Tech’s shocking 52-38 loss to Iowa State Saturday in Ames, Iowa.

There’s no sugarcoating it; this team is a lot worse than we thought they were.

Heading into the Iowa State game there was still a shot at a division title. Now, even bowl eligibility isn’t a certainty.

After the Texas game, it was widely speculated that the defense turned the corner and was becoming the respectable unit it never was under Mike Leach. Special teams were disciplined, creating great field position and opportunities aplenty, and garnered heaps of praise after the New Mexico game.

But with the 52-38 loss to the Cyclones, it looks as though the anointing of the defense and special teams of the Red Raiders’ savior was premature at best.

A dual-threat quarterback, Austen Arnaud, and good running attack exposed the defense, just as we saw time and time again under Leach’s watch. The handful of special teams blunders put the Red Raiders in incredibly tough spots.

In fact, the one positive from the game was everyone’s biggest concern going into it: the offense. Say what you will about Taylor Potts (and trust me, you’ve said plenty), but he had his best game since last year against Texas. Lyle Leong continued to give off the image that he has magnets in his hands attracting the

“

Jon Arnold ball to them and helping him reel in touchdowns. Unfortunately, the rest of the team decided to mail this one in.

Again, there can be no excuses. Tech was beaten soundly by an Iowa State team that looked like the better side all night. Still, if there was a single game when offense, defense and special teams all turned in even a decent performance, Tech would have at least a good shot at every game.

Instead, we have this inconsistency. Sometimes the offense is anemic, sometimes the defense is stout. Other times, it’s the reverse. Special teams won the New Mexico game. It helped to lose the Iowa State game.

This team needs consistency, and they need it fast.

Friday I wrote the Iowa State game was a perfect chance for the Red Raiders to rebound and run off some wins.

It was. They blew that chance. Next comes Baylor, red hot after waltzing to victory over Kansas.

If the Red Raiders can’t beat the Bears, Tech fans better enjoy the trip to Dallas because it will be the only chance they get to enjoy a trip to a neutral site this season.

There’s no sugarcoating it; this team is a lot worse than we thought they were.

Tech soccer loses to Nebraska in OT

By TOMMY MAGELSSEN STAFF WRITER

Trailing 4-3, Texas Tech midfielder Madison Terry lined up a set piece from 35 yards away with 10 seconds left in the game, driving the ball to a mass of red and white jerseys hovering in the penalty box and jockeying for position.

The ball made initial contact with Tech forward Jessica Fuston before landing toward the far side of the six-yard box — just in front of Tech defender Mallory Yacullo.

With two seconds left, while the Nebraska goalkeeper lay helpless on her side, Yacullo blasted the ball in as time expired, causing her teammates to swarm her.

The Red Raiders, who trailed 4-2 less than three minutes before Yacullo’s equalizer, were heading into overtime.

“We’ve always been a team to play to the buzzer no matter what,” Yacullo said. “I had the easy part. It really was a team collective effort to get the ball all the way up the field, get the cross in — just be relentless in the box up to the buzzer.”

But a coincidental twist of fate in overtime doomed the highflying Red Raiders.

Two minutes into the first overtime period, Nebraska earned

a free kick at nearly the exact spot Terry lined hers up minutes earlier. Husker forward Morgan Marlborough shot the ball over everyone except goalkeeper Colleen Pitts who made a diving deflection.

But Nebraska midfielder Ari Romero headed in the game winner off the deflection, stunning the Red Raiders with a 5-4 victory.

“It’s really hard to go from one extreme to the other. Almost having a heart attack to just this,” Tech defender Whitney Sharpe said, fresh tear marks staining her cheeks.

Tech (9-4, 2-2 in Big 12 Conference play) entered the game after defeating Colorado Friday night 1-0, courtesy of a Casey McCall goal in the sixth minute.

In a wide-open Big 12 race, Tech had an opportunity to lay claim to second place in the conference.

But the Red Raiders made it hard on themselves early as the Huskers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 26th minute. Marlborough made her Big 12-leading 12th goal of the season to open the scoring in the 15th minute when she beat Yacullo one on one down the right side of the field before dribbling the ball into the box and finally putting the ball neatly into the top shelf of the far post.

Down by two, the Red Raiders showed flashes of their determination, scoring a goal less than a minute after conceding their second.

Attacking midfielder Taylor Lytle crossed a ball from about 24 yards out to a waiting Fuston who headed in her team-leading fifth goal of the season to the near post.

Fuston would score another integral goal in the 88th minute on a penalty shot to put the game within reach and cut Nebraska’ s margin to one.

The freshman forward also assisted a Leanne Mihelich strike in the 56th minute to cut the lead to 3-2, five minutes after Nebraska forward Jordan Jackson put the Huskers ahead by two for the second time.

Tech coach Tom Stone said his team did enough to win the game, but they just didn’t do enough to stop one of the Big 12’s top offenses.

The Red Raiders entered the game undefeated at home, outscoring opponents 8-0 in five shutout victories. Tech had given up six goals this season before Sunday’s contest.

“They’re gutted,” Stone said about his team after the loss to Nebraska. “I mean, they’re gutted and as a coach to be honest that’s what you want to see. You want to

Oregon jumps Boise St, Texas drops out of poll

Europeans surge to Ryder Cup lead NEWPORT, Wales (AP) — What a day for Europe! The home team nearly pulled off a clean sweep Sunday, taking a huge step toward reclaiming the Ryder Cup with a performance that wiped out Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and the rest of America’s stars.

The Ryder Cup will be finishing on a Monday for the first time, and it has all the makings of a huge European celebration at soggy Celtic Manor.

Captain Colin Montgomerie’s

overcame a 10-6 deficit on the final day at Brookline in 1999. But that match was at home, with a raucous crowd cheering them on.

The Europeans will be hearing most of the cheers when they tee off in extra time, with the match extended to a fourth day by torrential rains at the first Ryder Cup in Wales. Officials changed the schedule and still hoped to finish

The only team currently ranked on Boise State’s remaining schedule is No. 21 Nevada. The Broncos visit the Wolf Pack on Nov. 26.

Alabama received a season-high 58 first-place votes from the media panel after trouncing Florida 31-6. The Gators dropped seven spots to No. 14, their lowest ranking since they were 14th on Nov. 11, 2007.

Ohio State received one first-place vote and Boise State received the other.

TCU was No. 5 in the latest poll.

The top five in the USA today coaches’ poll was the same as the AP’s top five.

No. 6 Oklahoma, Nebraska, Auburn, Arizona and Utah round out the top 10 — a place where Texas has been a regular resident over the last decade under coach Mack Brown.

But the Longhorns lost their second straight game Saturday, 28-20 to Oklahoma, leaving them unranked for the first time since Oct. 15, 2000. Their streak of 162 consecutive weeks in the rankings was the longest active streak in the country.

Ohio State now has the longest streak at 90 straight poll appearances. Florida is second at 87 straight.

Texas hasn’t lost three straight games since closing the 1999 season that way.

The Longhorns have a week off before visiting Nebraska.

“We have two weeks of work,” linebacker Eddie Jones said. “Work hard as a team, stay up, stay motivated and keep this heart and drive that we had today.

We can go back out and win. We can change things around here.”

squad kept the scoreboard bathed in blue all day. When it was over, Woods had the worst loss of his Cup career, Mickelson was the losingest U.S. player ever and the defending champs faced a daunting 9½-6½ deficit heading into singles play.

TEXAS RUNNING BACK Fozzy Whittaker runs the ball during Texas’ 24-14 victory at Tech Sept. 18. Texas is now on a two-game losing streak and dropped out of the AP Top 25 poll for the first time since 2000.

(AP) — After running away from Stanford, Oregon jumped over Boise State and into No. 3 in The Associated Press college football poll on Sunday.

Meanwhile, for the first time in 10 years, Texas fell out of the Top 25. Two more traditional powers tumbled from the rankings, too, with Penn State and Southern California joining the Longhorns in the others receiving votes.

The top two spots in the rankings remained unchanged. Alabama is No. 1 and Ohio State is No. 2, just the way it’s been since the preseason.

No. 4 Boise State spent the entire first month of the season ranked third, but the Broncos couldn’t hold off the Ducks this week.

Oregon fell behind 21-3 in the first quarter against Stanford on Saturday night at home, but Darron Thomas and LaMichael James brought the Ducks zooming back for a 52-31 victory.

The Ducks lead the nation in scoring (56 points per game) and total offense (569 yards).

Stanford came into the game ranked No. 9, but fell seven spots this week.

Boise State remained unbeaten with a 59-0 victory against winless league rival New Mexico State, but it appears the lack of respect for the Western Athletic Conference is already hurting the Broncos.

With a nonconference game against Toledo on Saturday, followed by meetings with WAC weaklings San Jose State and Louisiana Tech, it would seem that the Broncos could be stuck at No. 4 for a while unless one of those top three teams lose or struggle mightily with a weaker opponent.
