MOVES NEW BELLY DANCE CLUB INSPIRES STUDENTS TO BE ACTIVE

he Belly Dancing club is a new activity offered at the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center. The lessons are held from 6:45 to 7:45 p.m. every Tuesday in room 121 for the beginner class and from 8 to 9 p.m. for the intermediate class.

Carla Millares, a graduate student in agricultural education from La Paz, Bolivia, said

she joined the club because of her previous experiences in this such art. She is passionate about it and enjoys it.

“I think the most difficult part is discovering muscles you never knew you had,” Millares said. “At the beginning, I was like a piece of wood, I couldn’t move, but then, after some time, I realized I can move my hips and also the upper part of my body in different ways.”

Andrea Rosario, a sophomore environmental engineer-

ing student from San Cristóbal, Venezuela, said she started belly dancing two weeks ago. Even though she always wanted to try it, until recently she had not found a place to learn.

“The movements are so beautiful. I love the way it looks and the music is very relaxing,” Rosario said. “You see the dancers and they don’t look like they are doing any efforts, but then when you try it you realize it is not that easy.”

Melissa Sandoz, the belly

dance instructor, said she started dancing in 2007 when she briefly attended a class taught by one of her friends. Sandoz said she realized this activity was a good core workout when the next morning she could not get out of bed because her abs were too sore.

Sandoz, a graduate student in environmental toxicology, said she loved this style of dance and kept pursuing it as a passion.

Tech inches closer to 40,000 enrollment goal

Committee organized for provost search

By REECE NATIONS Staff Writer

Texas Tech is now the home of 36,551 students, the most ever enrolled at the university.

Although Tech is the sixth largest university in Texas, and further expansion is expected in the next few years, Jamie Hansard, executive director of undergraduate admissions, said. The university administration hopes to have a student body of 40,000 by 2023.

"Reaching 40,000 is an institutional goal," Hansard said. "It's an important milestone because we want to increase our retention rate and six-year graduation rate. It will give us a higher status as a prominent university in Texas."

Tech has 29,963 undergraduate students and 6,058 graduate students enrolled currently, she said.

The Tech School of Law is home to another 530 students.

"From Fall 2015 to Fall 2016, Tech has achieved nearly a 2 percent increase in growth," Hansard said.

"Because we have an 84 percent retention rate, our student body has been growing steadily over the past few years."

Despite the fact that freshman enrollment has decreased, retention remains high because of a freshman recruitment class of about 5,000 students in Fall 2015. Tech also aver-

ages about 3,000 additional transfer students each year, she said. This year's freshman class is made up of about two-thirds first-year students and one-third transfer students.

"We get a lot of transfer students for several reasons," Hansard said. "We offer excellent transfer scholarships, some of the best in the state. More and more students are choosing to go to community college right out of high school and then transferring to a fouryear university, which is an increasing trend because of the financial and academic benefits associated with it."

With tuition rates continuing to increase in the U.S., community college is a sound financial sense, she said.

Additionally, if students are unsure about their desired major, they are more likely to go to community colleges to complete their base curriculum.

This fall marks Tech's 10th consecutive semester of record enrollment, according to a Tech news release. This is because of the atmosphere of unity seen throughout the university's 11 academic colleges, the School of Law and the Graduate School.

Tech, one of eight universities in Texas classified as a Carnegie Tier One research institution, will celebrate the centennial anniversary of its establishment in 2023, President Lawrence Schovanec said during his State of the University address on Wednesday.

City’s conservation ‘time of day’ measure ended Lubbock residents can now irrigate any time of the day during their assigned days because the seasonal “time of day” water conservation has ended.

During the summer months, from April 1 to Sept. 30, no irrigation is allowed from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to a City of Lubbock news release.

The measure is in order to prevent water loss because of high evaporation rates.

During the cooler months the restriction is removed to prevent residents from irrigating during the time of year when freezing temperature occur, according to the release. The city also prohibits irrigating landscapes when temperatures drop below 35 degrees.

“I tend to be a cautious optimist about our ability to make change,” Obama said.

Neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton was mentioned in the discussion, but their presence was nonetheless felt.

DiCaprio, who recently completed a documentary film about climate change, told the White House crowd that he had timed the film to come out before the presidential election.

DeCaprio, who supports Hillary Clinton’s campaign, said the scientific consensus about the dangers of climate change is in, and “the argument is now over.”

He added: “If you do not believe in climate change, you do not believe in facts or in science. And therefore, in my humble opinion, you should not be allowed to hold public office.”

Trump has repeatedly referred to climate change as a hoax.

cussion on diversity in law enforcement and an awards ceremony, both in Washington.

Speaking at a forum at a Dallas high school, Lynch said community policing is a partnership between law enforcement and the community. Dall a s , w h i c h Ly n c h s a i d already has a strong community policing model, is scheduled to receive $3.1 million to hire 25 new officers.

“It is work that takes time,” she told those gathered at the forum, including students and officer cadets. “It is work that begins before there is a tragedy or before there is a difficult situation and it continues after that and requires the kind of commitment that you all have shown here in Dallas.”

The grants, provided by the Justice Department’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, are being awarded to 184 law enforcement agencies and are intended to create or preserve more than 900 positions. Almost all of the jobs will be new hires, though the grants will allow some officers to either be rehired or protected from being laid off.

Students take part in Celtic music tradition

By ALEXIS CARDEN Staff Writer

Many students at Texas Tech take part in concert music ensembles, but only a select few choose to venture outside of the traditional concert bands.

The Tech Celtic Ensemble Elegant Savages Orchestra is an organization where students have the opportunity to perform different Celtic genres of music.

The ensemble performed its first concert of the year Sunday night.

The theme of this concert was the Bassandan Balfork Revolution.

According to the Elegant Savages Orchestra’s website, the music the ensemble performed was a collection of recent and archival material of Bassanda’s history, folklore, music and dances.

This year, the ensemble’s theme is the Mysterious 1885 Victorian Steampunk Band, which is

why they all wear different styles of clothing. During the show, the audience saw that each member was dressed in his own version of steampunk fashion.

Eddie Allen, a senior music education and music performance major from Austin, is a bass player in the ensemble.

Allen said he enjoys how the members get to wear whatever they want in the concerts. Since the attire is not the basic concert black clothes, it makes each concert unique.

The performance began with a concert fantasia on traditional folkloric themes in dark, minor chords.

The suspenseful tone then transitioned into more of a dance-like feeling, which then lasted through the rest of the concert.

As the concert continued, students from the C o r o n a d o H i gh Sc hool orchestra joined the Celtic Ensemble on a few of the pieces they performed.

Some of the pieces they

played with them were “Jan Mijne Man” and “Hanter-Dro avec Klem.”

“Performing (with the Celtic Ensemble) was pretty fun but also kind of scary since we’ve never done this before, and hopefully we can have this opportunity again,” Gadiel Esteves, a student at Coronado High School who plays violin in its orchestra, said.

The ensemble played many different songs incorporating different types of instruments such as bagpipes and accordions.

For some songs, it also had students in the ensemble step out and perform the traditional dances.

At the end of the concert, the ensemble played a song called “Ham Street” and invited the audience to join the dancers on the stage in dancing the traditional French Chapelloise dance.

“The dancing was my favorite part of the concert. It literally took

DANCING

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “I think the reason for which I ended up loving (belly dancing) so much is because it is a very feminine form of movement,” Sandoz said. “For me, belly dancing is not about being sexy for other people. It’s about being in your own body and feeling really good about it.”

Sandoz took classes and learned different styles of belly dancing from various instructors during the years. When she moved to Lubbock in 2014 from Portland, Oregon, she decided to start a club to keep practicing this dance that had become such a big part of her life.

“I teach a style that is called ‘tribal’ belly dance which is a little bit vague of itself. It’s different than any other types of belly dance that are commonly Egyptian or Oriental because it tends to pull in different elements from different ethnic groups around the world,” Sandoz said. “So it is a mix-match, it’s very American in that sense.”

Another characteristic that is very unique about this dance is that is improvised, she said. There is one person out front who leads and picks some moves. Then everybody else follows.

“It looks like it is choreographed, but it is not,” Sandoz said. “Whenever you are dancing tribal

style you have to be in the zone with everybody else that you are dancing with. You can’t be thinking about something else.”

The hardest part is to get over one’s self-doubt or shame of one’s own body, she said. This can take a while for people, but belly dancing is equally about learning to accept oneself.

“The other thing that is challenging for people is to realize that belly dance is very much about isolating specific body parts and selecting very specific muscles,” Sandoz said. “It takes a really long time to learn to control all your individual muscles in your core, to develop that connection, that specificity and also that kind of flexibility.” @DailyToreador

‘Apprentice’ cast, crew say Trump was lewd, sexist NEW YORK (AP) — In his years as a reality TV boss on "The Apprentice," Donald Trump repeatedly demeaned women with sexist language, according to show insiders who said he rated female contestants by the size of their breasts and talked about which ones he'd like to have sex with.

The Associated Press interviewed more than 20 people — former crew members, editors and contestants — who described crass behavior by Trump behind the scenes of the long-running hit show, in which aspiring capitalists were given tasks to perform as they competed for jobs working for him.

The staffers and contestants agreed to recount their experiences as Trump's behavior toward women has become a core issue in the presidential campaign. Interviewed separately, they gave concurring accounts of inappropriate conduct on the set.

Eight former crew members recalled that he repeatedly made lewd comments about a camerawoman he said had a nice rear, comparing her beauty to that of his daughter, Ivanka.

During one season, Trump called for female contestants to wear shorter dresses that also showed more cleavage, according to contestant Gene Folkes.

Several cast members said Trump had one female contestant twirl before him so he could ogle her figure.

Randal Pinkett, who won the program in December 2005 and who has recently criticized Trump during his run for president, said he remembered the real estate mogul talking about which female contestants he wanted to sleep with, even though Trump had married former model Melania Knauss earlier that year: "He was like 'Isn't she hot, check her out,' kind of gawking,

something to the effect of 'I'd like to hit that.' " The Trump campaign issued a general denial.

"These outlandish, unsubstantiated, and totally false claims fabricated by publicity hungry, opportunistic, disgruntled former employees, have no merit whatsoever," said Hope Hicks, Trump's campaign spokeswoman. "The Apprentice was one of the most successful prime-time television shows of all time and employed hundreds of people over many years, many of whom support Mr. Trump's candidacy." She declined to answer specific questions that were emailed and declined an interview request.

Former producer Katherine Walker said Trump frequently talked about women's bodies during the five seasons she worked with him and said he speculated about which female contestant would be "a tiger in bed."

Rap music fails to impress I came to a realization the other day. I realized all this rap music I’ve been listening to is total garbage.

This realization was rather similar to my colleague Hannah Deeter ’s feeling toward modern rap.

In a column published on Wednesday, she wrote today’s rap music has become a “tasteless construction of vague, meaningless and ridiculously repetitive lyrics and vocals.”

After listening to popular artists like Future and Fetty Wap, I completely agree. Rap sucks.

I feel like I should be able to just say “rap sucks” and not have to put forth effort to qualify my claim.

Especially because effort is not something these rappers have been putting forth.

So, I will just say it: rap sucks. Need an explanation?

Here’s one: “fifty shades of gray, beat that p---- like Hulk Hogan.” That’s from D.R.A.M. and Lil Yachty’s song “Broccoli” which is, as I write this column, ranked at number three of the top 50 songs in the U.S. on Spotify.

Also, side note, what’s up

with those names, anyway?

So, after years of listening to truly top notch lyrics such as the ones above, I decided to take a different route. I listened to something other than rap.

Oh boy, what a beautiful moment it was. The complex and intricate mix of more than two instruments — actual instruments played by actual people, too — filled my ears with a sound experience I hadn’t witnessed in years. The vocals were loaded with emotion. You could actually understand what the artist was singing.

Then it hit me. The Alex Olges from five years ago — the middle school Alex — had a far better taste than the Alex of today. With this thought, I grew sad. I grew very sad. It was a rather pathetic awakening.

However, I didn’t remain sad for too long. Nay, I mopped the puddle of my

own pity-tears and got to work. I pulled up Spotify and typed “Dave Matthews” in the search box.

I listened to Matthews for a while, and then began to explore a bit more. I listened to related artists and songs.

I explored the other genres I’d neglected for so long.

Slowly, I began to build up a new library of music.

Well, maybe not exactly a new library. Not yet.

So, now I have this new almost-library of music without rap. Rap is gone.

It’s out of my life. I never want to hear another rap song again.

Until, you know, I inevitably miss rap. However, when that happens, I’ll make sure to listen to the good rappers like Kendrick Lamar.

I highly encourage anyone who listens to hip-hop nonstop to try something else. It’s amazing what else is out there.

For example, I bet a lot of people out there didn’t know music can be about more than just weed, strippers and money. I sure didn’t.

It’s almost as if music can be used as a form of

expression. Truly incredible stuff. I implore everyone to try it.

“But Alex, rap is my favorite kind of music. You can’t just say my music sucks,” some may try to argue. Yes, I can. I just did.

Look, we’ve all made questionable life choices at one point or another. I won’t judge. Well, I mean, I will judge if someone continues to keep listening to all this modern rap garbage.

But no one would do that, right? Here I am writing this excellent column that will change the music tastes of an entire campus in one fell swoop. The points I’ve brought up are impenetrable. One would have to be a fool to continue listening to rap after this article.

“But Alex, you can’t just act like you know better when you just admitted you were listening to rap, too.”

So, maybe I’m just pretending to be over rap?

Darn. I guess that makes me no better than those other rappers who pretend they’re actual gangsters. opinions@dailytoreador.com

am opposed to abortion.

I believe in fundamental truths and the taking of a baby’s life — no matter the age or size — is fundamentally wrong.

I hear and empathize with many of the reasons why someone might make the decision to have an abortion, but that does not mean I believe terminating a pregnancy is ever the only viable option.

I have been told that because I am not a woman, I cannot tell women what to do.

While the first part is biologically accurate, I will arrogantly entitle myself to an opinion nonetheless.

The last time I checked, a pregnancy is not the result of a woman’s body spontaneously spawning a child; there is always a father involved.

It is not a woman’s right to rob a man of fatherhood.

In Planned Parenthood v.

Danforth, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a father’s consent — or lack thereof — does not factor into the woman’s legal right to abort her child, as being the carrier of said child provides her with obvious authority.

I can, at least, understand the logical reasoning behind this action.

H o w e v e r, m e n c u r rently do not even have the legal right to know if there was an abortion, as ruled in Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

I think my issue with abortion comes from the nonchalant attitude that many — not all, of course, but many — take in regard to abortion.

According to Planned Parenthood’s official website, abortions are normal and natural. Three out of 10 women in the U.S. have an abortion by the time they are 45 years old.

The way Planned Parenthood markets its service, you’d think getting an abortion is a Saturday chore to be done after you pick up some groceries.

Well, according to a 2014 poll conducted by CNN, 56 percent of all Americans oppose the idea of abortion being funded publicly.

Of those who actually support abortion, only 40 percent carry the opinion that abortion should be used solely in cases where the mother’s life is at stake, according to the poll.

So, Planned Parent-

hood has, as Americans begin to follow a more pro-life trend, relabeled pro-lifers as “anti-abortionists” and “sexists.”

According to a Gallup poll, almost half of America’s women oppose abortion in any form or context.

So, I guess the opinions of these women don’t count; if they do count, then sexism card has no real relevance in the abortion debate.

I think my issue with abortion comes from the nonchalant attitude that many — not all, of course, but many — take in regard to abortion.

There is a scary trend emerging from the “innovations” in abortion medical practices. Frankly, a very strong argument could be made for the inherent sexism in abortion itself.

Selective-sex abortions are a vastly growing trend around the world.

Many cultures — such as China’s and India’s — still subscribe to a patriarchal culture where male children are much more celebrated and having too many female children puts a mother to shame.

According to the Population Research Institute, for every 100 girls born in India, 7 have been aborted. Why? Because they were girls.

I assumed feminists would be ferociously attacking this blatantly sexist issue, but instead they are too busy getting Skrillex haircuts. The hypocrisy of the left strikes again.

In closing, let me get a few things straight. I am not opposed to contraception: condoms, birth control pills, Plan-B, etc.

These are all realistic measures which have realworld application.

My issue is when there’s a child. Yes, by the way, from conception there is, in fact, a child. It is there that I draw the line. opinions@dailytoreador.com

TAB hosts free Late Night movies for entertainment

By ARIANNA AVALLE Staff Writer

Every Thursday, the Texas Tech Activities Board offers a Late Night movie at 10 p.m. in the Escondido Theater of the Student Union Building.

Moses Duru, a sophomore political science major from El Paso, is the Films Coordinator for TAB. He said TAB offers movies on Thursdays because it is close to the weekend.

The most successful movie TAB recently hosted was “The Purge: Anarchy”. Duru said his favorite movie for this semester is “Snowden”

that is going to be screened on Dec. 1. “(‘Snowden’) gives a look into the life of Edward Snowden and the events that led him to do what he believed was right even though most people believe he was a traitor,” Duru said.

Brittany Roberts, a junior graphic design and visual studies major from Odessa, said she usually goes to watch the Late Night movies on Thursday nights.

Roberts said going to these movies is a great way to end the week.

“I think it’s a nice idea because it gives you a break before the weekend actually

happens and, even if a lot of tests tend to happen on Fridays, is still a great way just to relax before everything hits you,” she said.

Roberts’ favorite movie of this year was “Finding Dory” because she is a Disney fan.

“Finding Dory” had a continuing storyline to the first movie in the series “Finding Nemo,” Roberts said. The plot line as well as the animation were impressive.

“I like watching movies with my friends and talk about what we saw. Films are funny or they make you think,” she said. “In the Escondido Theater everybody reacts at the same

Among young voters, Obama’s popularity may not transfer er because of defections to minor candidates or eligible voters opting to stay home, could affect the outcomes in battleground states like North Carolina, Colorado, Virginia, Ohio and Florida — all of which have significant populations of college students and young professionals.

Perhaps most vexing for Clinton is that the GenForward survey depicts a young generation less critical of the current Oval Office occupant than older voters.

Obama argues plainly on the campaign trail that “my legacy is on the ballot.” But those sentiments just aren’t so easily transferred to his preferred successor, even as young voters resoundingly reject Trump and, as a whole, declare Clinton more honest and more qualified than the GOP nominee.

CEO minimized EpiPen profits in testimony WA S H I N G T O N ( A P ) — Leaders of the House Oversight Committee want EpiPen maker Mylan to explain why the company’s CEO apparently misled Congress about profits the company claimed for the life-saving EpiPen injection device.

Mylan CEO Heather Bresch repeatedly told the panel last month that Mylan made just $50 in profit for EpiPens sold for more than $300 apiece.

But lawmakers said in a letter released Monday that the figures Bresch cited were calculated after factoring in the 37.5 percent U.S. tax rate.

Before taxes, the EpiPen profit is actually $160 for a two-pack, said committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz of Utah and Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the panel’s senior Democrat.

“Failing to disclose tax assumptions that formed the basis for ... the profit per pack claim, despite opportunities to do so before and during the hearing, raises questions,” Chaffetz and Cummings wrote.

Bresch, the daughter of Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., infuriated lawmakers as she tried to explain steep cost increases of her company’s EpiPens at a Sept.

21 hearing.

Republicans and Democrats grilled Bresch about the emergency allergy shot’s sky-high price and the profits for a company with sales in excess of $11 billion. The list price of EpiPens has grown to $608 for a two-pack, an increase of more than 500 percent since 2007.

EpiPens are used in emergencies to stop anaphylaxis, the potentially fatal allergic reactions to insect bites and stings and foods like nuts and eggs. People usually keep multiple EpiPens handy at home, school or work, but the syringes, prefilled with the hormone epinephrine, expire after a year.

In almost four hours of questioning, Bresch at times seemed unsure, or declined to answer directly, when asked about the company’s finances and profits. At one point during the hearing, Chaffetz told Bresch that Mylan’s “dumbed down fi-

could fall short of Obama’s totals and turnouts that drove his national victories in 2008 and 2012, a new GenForward survey suggests.

The survey math tells the story. The GenForward survey, conducted Sept. 1-14 by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs Research, found that 54 percent of voters age 18 to 30 held a negative view of Clinton. Just 41 percent said they see her favorably. At the same time, 60 percent of respondents said they approve of Obama’s job performance, while 26 percent do not. That’s a difference of 19 percentage points between the president’s job approval and Clinton’s favorability.

DURHAM, North Carolina (AP) — Paulos Muruts is set to cast his first presidential ballot for Hillary Clinton — if he makes it to the ballot box.

“I might need someone on Election Day to actually convince me to go out and vote,” says the 19-year-old Duke University student, arguing that the Democratic nominee “has the experience” and “exudes the right temperament” but “doesn’t inspire excitement.”

Yet mention Clinton’s would-be predecessor and Muruts’ eyes light up.

“Love President Obama,” he says. “He’s got swagger.”

Nathan Brown, a junior finance major from Austin, said he likes going to the movies to see different genres of films and hang out with his friends. Last year, he went to several Thursday Late Night movies, and his favorite movie was “Jurassic World.”

There is one thing Brown said he would like changed about the Late Night movies.

“One thing I would change is having the Tech emblem appear on the screen randomly. It seems unnecessary.

We already know where we go to school and who pro-

nancials” did not make sense without explanation.

“You know, your numbers don’t add up,” Cummings told Bresch. “And it is extremely difficult to believe that you are making only $50 profit when you just increased the price by more than $100 per pen.”

PARIS (AP) — Armed robbers forced their way into a private Paris residence where Kim Kardashian West was staying, tied her up and locked her in a bathroom before making off with more than $10 million worth of jewelry, police officials said Monday.

A spokeswoman for Kardashian West said the reality TV star, who was in Paris attending fashion week shows, was badly shaken but physically unharmed.

She left Paris Monday morning a few hours after the incident, and flew to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. From there she traveled in a motorcade to her apartment building in downtown Manhattan, where there was a heavy security presence.

Paris police are hunting for five suspected assailants after the robbery, which has raised new concerns about security in the French capital after a string of deadly extremist attacks.

But Johanna Primevert, chief spokeswoman for the Paris police department,

said the attack on Kardashian West shouldn’t put off anyone thinking of coming to Paris.

“This kind of incident is extremely rare in Paris.

This is a star who is famous worldwide. Do not confuse what happened to Ms. Kardashian and probably was the result of an organized team who had planned their action with the assault of a tourist in front of Notre Dame (cathedral) or another tourist spot in Paris,” Primevert said in an interview with the AP at the Paris police headquarters Monday night.

The police spokeswoman suggested possible imprudence from Kardashian West in showing her valuable jewels on social networks and a possible lack of security in that private residence.

“Clearly when you have a star like Kim Kardashian who has, I think, more than 48 million followers on Twitter ... I think this could have happened abroad just as easily as in Paris. It was really the celebrity who was targeted, with possessions

that had been seen and noticed via social media, and it was these goods that the attackers targeted,” Primevert said.

“It’s not the safety in Paris that is involved, it’s maybe the security situation in that residence”, she insisted.

Primevert said the robbery was “the result of people who obviously posed as policemen.” Police and authorities were not aware that Kardashian West was staying in that private location, Primevert said.

The thieves entered the 19th-century luxury residence in Paris’ chic eighth district after the concierge let them in around 2:30 a.m. local time, according to two police officials. Handcuffed and at gunpoint, the concierge led them to the starlet’s flat.

The robbers tied up Kardashian West and locked her in the bathroom before escaping on bikes, the officials said. They were not authorized to be publicly named speaking about ongoing investigations.

Blood-streaked survivor recounts on social media wild bear attack HELENA, Mont. (AP) A battered and blood-streaked survivor of a bear attack said in a video he shot on his way to the hospital that the animal attacked him twice as he played dead before hiking 3 miles to his truck to seek help.

Todd Orr, 50, posted the graphic video, along with photos and a written narrative, about Saturday’s attack in southwestern Montana’s Madison River valley on his Facebook page.

The video shows Orr with blood streaming down his face from a deep gash on his head and what he described as “pieces of stuff” hanging from his mangled arm.

“Yeah, life sucks in bear country,” Orr said in the video.

A number listed for Orr rang unanswered Monday.

A message left for a relative was not returned, and Orr did not answer emails sent to addresses associated with him.

Montana Fish, Wildlife

and Parks spokesman Ron Aasheim confirmed that Orr was attacked.

It was the fifth encounter between bears and humans this fall in that part of southwestern Montana as hunters head into the backcountry in search of elk, deer and game

birds, he said.

“It’s becoming more common every year,” Aasheim said.

It does not appear the bear acted abnormally if it was protecting its cubs, but the area will be closed while wildlife officials look into the attack, he said.

Players reflect on Shimonek’s performance

By TOBIAS BASS Staff Writer

Texas Tech junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes II was injured in the third quarter with a reported AC joint sprain against the Kansas Jayhawks.

Junior quarterback Nic Shimonek has big shoes to fill as the Red Raiders starting quarterback in Mahomes’ absence.

Nic (Shimonek) did a great job. He prepares himself as a starter each and every day he comes out and works hard.

CAMERON BATSON WIDE RECEIVER Against Kansas, the Red Raiders, with Shimonek at quarterback, threw for 271 yards, four touchdowns and had a 95.2 QBR, according to Tech Athletics.

Shimonek’s four touchdown passes matched Mahomes’ before his exit.

“We have full confidence in Nic,” junior wide receiver Dylan Cantrell said. “He is one of the hardest workers on the team.”

Senior offensive lineman Baylen Brown said

during the game Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury gave the players tips for the change in quarterbacks.

Late in the third quarter, Shimonek entered the game and the focus became more on pass-protection for the offensive line, Brown said. During the game Shimonek was not sacked, but Mahomes was sacked three times.

“Nic doesn’t move around as much, so (we have to) hold blocks a little longer and run our offense” Brown said.

With Shimonek as the quarterback, Tech offense played similar in comparison to when Mahomes was in the game.

Shimonek and Mahomes both had big plays during game. Shimonek threw a 59-yard touchdown pass to sophomore receiver Jonathan Giles, while Mahomes threw a 34-yard pass to Giles.

Both Shimonek and Mahomes threw for four touchdowns and more than 270 yards.

“Nic did a great job,” junior receiver Cameron Batson said. “He prepares himself as a starter each and every day he comes out and works hard.”

Old rookies Bush, Barnette took unique paths to AL West playoffs ARLINGTON (AP) — Matt Bush and Tony Barnette took drastically different and quite unconventional paths to becoming 30-something rookie relievers and locker mates with the AL West champion Texas Rangers.

When the Rangers were in the playoffs last October, former No. 1 overall pick Bush was in the final month of a 3 ½-year stint in prison for a drunken driving accident that nearly killed a man.

The 32-year-old Barnette was finishing a record-setting season as a closer who helped the Tokyo Yakult Swallows reach the Japan Series.

“It’s almost like fate,” the 30-year-old Bush said. “Here we both are, finally getting our chance, being around the same age, and get to share our experiences and our rookie years together.”

The right-handers are key setup men for the Rangers, who play the AL Division Series opener at home Thurs-

day against the winner of the American League wild-card game (Baltimore or Toronto).

Bush, now a reliever whose fastball touches 100 mph, was initially drafted in 2004 out of high school by his hometown San Diego Padres as a shortstop — just ahead of 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young winner Justin Verlander, also a six-time All-Star.

Within weeks after receiving a $3.15 million signing bonus and before even playing his first pro game, Bush was suspended by the organization following his arrest in a bar fight. That was only the first of several alcohol-related incidents before the nearly fatal accident while in spring training with the Tampa Bay Rays in March 2012.

Sober since that time, the final nine months of Bush’s prison sentence in Florida last year included living in a halfway house while in a work-release program with a job as a baker at a Golden

Corral in Florida.

It was in the parking lot of that restaurant that Rangers officials watched Bush throw in the mid-90s. After his release Oct. 30, Bush went to Texas with his father to work out for the team for which Josh Hamilton, another former No. 1 overall pick, went from alcohol and drug issues to being a five-time All-Star and the 2010 AL MVP. “Everybody in every clubhouse for the most part has a story. Some stand out a little bit more than others, like Matt’s.

He’s handled it tremendously.

He shows up, works hard and throws 100 mph. It’s fun to watch,” Barnette said. “Isn’t baseball great? It gives guys like us chances.”

Barnette was a 10thround draft pick by the Diamondbacks in 2006 from Arizona State, then started 96 games in four minor league seasons before going to Japan in 2010, a year before making the transition from starter to reliever.

Texans need to fix Osweiler’s interceptions HOUSTON (AP) — Despite a 3-1 record and a two-game lead in the AFC South, there is still plenty the Houston Texans need to work on before they travel to Minnesota.

Quarterback Brock Osweiler has thrown six interceptions in the first four games, including two against Tennessee Sunday.

Osweiler has thrown five touchdowns this season, with two of those coming in a 27-20 win over the Titans .

However, Houston coach Bill O’Brien said Monday he was not concerned about the number of interceptions Osweiler has thrown.

“I believe it will get fixed,” O’Brien said. “Brock has played well for us. Other than the two interceptions, I thought the guy played a good football game for us, got us into the right plays, good tempo. We have to stop turning the ball over, and I think a lot goes into that, not just one player.”

O’Brien said that when he looked at the interceptions, there was a lot that went into them, including Osweiler’s decision, the way the receiver’s route was run, protection and if Osweiler had to rush to get rid of the ball.

“The thing about interceptions is that when you

study them, there have been a couple that haven’t been good decisions that we have to clean up,” O’Brien said.

Elsewhere on the offensive side, O’Brien said the Texans have to do a better job of getting DeAndre Hopkins the ball.

Hopkins had one reception for 4 yards on six targets against Tennessee.

“They basically doubled him quite a bit,” O’Brien said. “He had a big catch.

Even though he had one catch, the catch he had was a big catch at the end of the game. It was a third-down conversion that took some more time off the clock.”

Offense prepares to face Kansas State

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

The Texas Tech Red Raiders face the Kansas State Wildcats at 6 p.m.

Saturday for Tech’s second Big 12 Conference game of the season.

The Kansas State defense has allowed 50 points overall in four games. So far, Kansas State has faced Stanford, Florida Atlantic, Missouri State and West Virginia.

Its closest games were against Stanford and West Virginia. It lost to West Virginia by one point.

The Kansas State defense had one interception and one fumble recovery against West Virginia. It also had three sacks in the game. The Tech offense has scored the most points in the Big 12 so far, with 238 points in four games. “(Kansas State Wildcats) have a great defense,” junior wide receiver Dylan Cantrell said.

“So, they’re very sound, they don’t make a lot of mistakes. We’re going to have to earn everything that we get. So, we’re going to have to come out with our A-game.”

Kansas State allowed the most points during its game against Stanford, which was also its first

game of the season. It allowed 26 points during the game and suffered its first loss of the season.

In that game, the Wildcats allowed 156 passing yards, but 126 rushing yards to Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey.

In their first three games, the Wildcats did not allow more than 200 passing yards in each game until they faced West Virginia, when they allowed 298 passing yards.

“We’re just going to have the watch the film,” junior wide receiver Cameron Batson said. “They run bracket coverage, one high, cover three, man, so we’re definitely going to have to go in and watch some film on them and see what they do and play off them.”

Kansas State junior defensive tackle Will Geary and senior defensive end Jordan Willis were some of the veterans mentioned

by Tech senior offensive lineman Baylen Brown.

So far, Geary has had 10 solo tackles in the four games he has played. He also recovered one fumble against Florida Atlantic.

For Willis, he has had 16 total tackles and four sacks. Against West Virginia, he registered two sacks for 12 yards. He

“They have No. 60, they have No. 75, Willis I think,” Brown said. “So 60 has been there for the past two years, and 75 has been there for the past three years, so they’re go-

ing to try to beat us physically, and if we do what we did last year, we’ll be all right.”

Cantrell said the Kansas State defense plays physical, and the Tech defense will have to balance it out.

In total, Kansas State

has registered nine sacks so far in four games. Willis currently leads the defense in sacks. The defense has also had five fumble recoveries and four interceptions.

“They’re very well coached, very disciplined,

don’t make a lot of mistakes, and it’s very rare to see them blow a coverage on film, and they’re very physical too,” Cantrell said. “So we’re going to have to match that, and be physical too.” @JackDensmoreDT

Texas’ Strong, OU’s Team finds new voice in Mark Finkner Stoops need victories NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — There will be more at stake than usual for Texas coach Charlie Strong and Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops at this year’s showdown game Saturday in Dallas.

Both schools have traditionally ranked among college football’s top programs , but they are off to disappointing starts by their standards and their fans are not happy.

“The bottom line is we’re both 2-2 going into this game,” Stoops said. “So both of us, it’s critical for both of us in how we move forward.

Other than that, I don’t pay attention to any of that.”

Texas athletic director Mike Perrin told a reporter after Saturday’s 49-31 loss to Oklahoma State: “We need to evaluate what happened here.” A Longhorns spokesman, John Bianco, later said Perrin’s comments were about the coaching staff needing to evaluate the game and the issues the team had on the field.

Strong said Monday that he has taken over as defensive coordinator, and nowformer defensive coordinator Vance Bedford will help with the secondary.

“We have a lot of talent on defense,” Strong said. “It’s unacceptable, the way we played. What I’ve decided to do is run the defense and call the defense.”

Stoops said the change will have some effect on No. 20 Oklahoma’s preparation

for the game.

“It will be something to consider, what they might do differently,” he said. “Sometimes you can only change so much, but I really believe overall, with all we see through the year, our guys are used to seeing a lot.”

Strong has been under intense scrutiny since taking over at Texas. The Longhorns showed promise at times last season with wins over Oklahoma and Baylor, but they also lost to Iowa State, Texas Tech and West Virginia. Texas opened this season with a promising win over Notre Dame, but the heat is on Strong after losses to California and Oklahoma State during which the Longhorns allowed 50 and 49 points, respectively.

Strong has a 13-16 record at Texas and a 9-10 mark in Big 12 play. He said Perrin hasn’t assured him that his job is safe.

“I don’t need it,” he said.

“At the end of the day, we have eight games. Let’s go win these games. Everything else will take care of itself. I haven’t jumped off the stadium yet.”

Strong has told his players not to worry about speculation that his job is in danger. “’You just go play and let me handle everything else,’” Strong said he told his team.

“It doesn’t matter to me anymore. What’s gonna be said is gonna be said.”

The Lady Raiders basketball team has found a new voice to be the playby-play analyst.

The man to take on the job is Mark Finkner, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Te c h c o a c h C a n d i Whitaker commented on Finkner’s position and said she is looking forward to his return to Tech.

“We are excited to announce Mark Finkner as the new voice of the Lady Raiders,” Whitaker said in the release. “Our fans will be excited about his return from Texas Tech Athletics.

Mark brings great experience, and I look forward to working him.”

The new voice of the Lady Raiders makes his return to Raiderland af-

ter covering 1,000 Tech athletic events over 34 athletic seasons in football, men’s basketball, baseball and volleyball from 1995 to 2012, according to the release.

This will be Finkner’s first time to cover Lady Raider basketball as he replaces Ryan Hyatt who stepped down after covering three seasons.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to be back court side with a great Lady Raider program,” Finkner said in the release. “As a Tech alum and knowing the history and tradition of Lady Raider basketball, this is truly a special opportunity.”

The Tech alumnus said he excited to be able to work with Whitaker in

WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a long-shot appeal from the Washington Redskins challenging a law that bars offensive trademarks, although the justices could still resolve the same issue in another pending case.

The court turned away the team’s unusual request to have its case heard before a federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia, weighs in. The Redskins are appealing the government’s decision to cancel its trademarks over

concerns the nickname disparages Native Americans.

Neither Redskins President Bruce Allen nor team spokesman Tony Wyllie immediately responded to requests for comment on Monday.
