Texas Tech defenders bring down a Kansas running back during the second half of Tech’s 55-19 win over the Jayhawks on Thursday at Jones AT&T Stadium.

DEFENSIVE DETERMINATION Defense builds confidence after Big 12 opener

Beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Ballroom of the Student Union Building the Tech College Republicans and the Tech Student Democrats hosted a formal debate that consisted of pre-selected questions.

Ranging from healthcare in the United States to abortion rights, both political organizations argued their stances in front of a large crowd of Tech students and the Lubbock community. After the formal debate the floor was opened to invited guest from both organizations, such as County Commissioner Gilbert Flores and congressional

candidate Jodey Arrington, according to a press release from the Tech College Republicans.

At the beginning of the debate there were questions about both organizations stances on healthcare.

Citing it as a free-market system, Hugo Ramirez, secretary for the TCR, noted that President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act did nothing for the healthcare system but increase prices.

“Why can you negotiate the price for your car, the price for your mortgage, the price of a loan,” Ramirez said. “Yet you can’t negotiate healthcare?”

LPD reports to abandoned infant

or the second time this year, the Texas Tech defense allowed less than 20 points in a single game. The defense held both Stephen F. Austin, in the season opener, and Kansas just below 20 points. SFA scored 17, and Kansas scored 19.

Against the Kansas pass game, the defense allowed 250 yards.

Overall, the defense held Kansas to just below 300 yards total.

“In today’s college football, if you hold anybody under 20 points, you’re doing a heck of a job, and so that was a nice step in that direction,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “We still would like to create more turnovers, but I thought up front those guys handled themselves well.”

Senior linebacker Kris Williams registered a career high in sacks against Kansas. He had 2.5 total sacks in the game, the most for a Tech defender in a single game since junior defensive lineman Gary Moore, who had two sacks last season against Iowa State.

Williams said he credits defense’s preparedness for how he played and the rest of the defense played against Kansas.

“I think I had a good game because we prepared well as a defense, and the defensive line helped me and the rest of the defense, doing their job and

The past game has helped build confidence, and he said his confidence will go into the rest of the games.

Williams said the relationship between him and the defense is mutual in terms of quality of play.

“I have a ton of confidence in my teammates, and I feel like I’m only as good as they are. So, when they ball out it helps me ball out all the way,” Williams said. “I feel like it’s a mutual deal.”

So far this season, no running back from Kansas State has broken 200 yards rushing on the season, according to ESPN. Against the Kansas running game, the Tech defense only allowed 46 rushing yards.

Sophomore defensive lineman Breiden Fehoko said after a good game against Kansas, the Red Raiders should not become overconfident.

At approximately 7 a.m. Monday morning Lubbock police were called to a house near the 2600 block of 22nd St. when a woman found an abandoned baby in her driveway.

The resident drove up to her house and found the infant in a plastic container wrapped in a blanket, according to an LPD news release.

Officers from the Field Services

Bureau and Texas Child Protective Services were called to investigate the situation, according to the release. The infant appeared to be in good physical condition but was still transported to University Medical Center for further evaluation.

Bautista earns Big 12 Runner of the Week After a standout performance on Saturday at the Chile Pepper Festival in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Texas Tech junior Miguel Bautista was named Big 12 Runner of the Week, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

In his entire career as a Red Raider, this is Bautista’s first Runner of the Week award.

At the meet, Bautista came in with a third-place finish in the men’s eight kilometer race. He finished with a new personal best of 23:38:02, according to the release.

This is the third straight meet that the junior has claimed a topthree spot, according to the release.

The hard work Bautista has put in on the track paid off, Tech

coach Jon Murray said in the release.

“This is a great honor for someone who has worked tremendously hard over the past six BAUTISTA months,” Murray said in the release. “Miguel’s improvements this year have come from his preparation during the summer and increased concentration on the sport.”

This was Bautista’s second appearance at the festival, where he pinned a top time among fellow Red Raiders.

His time improved by 51 seconds compared to his last year’s performance, according to the release. @ABoutwellDT

The Community Foundation of West Texas hosted their third annual Remember Our Heroes fundraiser dinner Tuesday evening for military veterans of the Lubbock community The event took place at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center with individual tickets to the event beginning at $125.

Members and businesses of the community were in attendance at the event and could choose from three types of donor levels.

The goal of Remember Our Heroes is to raise funds to connect veterans to resources that better their lives after transitioning from military service, according the organization’s mission statement.

The organizations expected to benefit from donations to the event are Veterans Resource Coordination Group of Lubbock, Lubbock Military Order of Purple Heart Chapter 0900, Wellness and Healing Center of Angel Fire, NM, and Stop Soldier Suicide.

The two major keynote speakers of the dinner were Army Federal Police Sergeant Kimberly Munley and Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Florent Groberg.

Kimberly Munley is a Defense of Freedom Medal

recipient from wounds she suffered for her first response during the Fort Hood Massacre on Nov. 5, 2009.

In Munley’s keynote, she discussed her life story and the events she experienced during the attack on Fort Hood.

Munley was born and raised in North Carolina where she was not surrounded by much female influence other than her mother and aunts, she said.

“I was definitely deemed a tomboy at a young age,” Munley said. “I grew up having a fascination for the military and a fascination for law enforcement.”

Munley described how she went into law enforcement after she conceived her first child, but still felt the need to enlist in the military, she said. Thus, Munley enlisted when she was 27.

While being stationed at Fort Hood with her husband, both were set for deployment in 2007 and did a coin toss in which her husband. It was then decided he would go for deployment while she stayed at Fort Hood with the kids, Munley said.

While her husband was deployed, Munley got the opportunity to get back in the federal law enforcement at Fort Hood. Munley then tried out for the SWAT team and was assigned in December 2007, Munley said.

Munley explained how

the morning of Nov. 5, 2009, began normal as any other day. There were only calls for minor emergencies. On that particular day, Munley described she went to go turn in end of the day paperwork, but since the office was too busy she went on to was her patrol car.

“While I was washing my patrol car we got the call for shots fired, which was not an unusual call on Fort Hood,” Munley said.

Munley described the events that followed as she pursued the shooter and was shot in her hand and left leg out to her right.

Munley ended her keynote discussing her efforts for those affected during Fort Hood to receive Purple Heart certification and benefits for their families.

“I’m gonna fight to my dying breath so that they can have the benefits, the treatment, the camaraderie they still need once they get out of the military,” Munley said.

Florent Groberg served in the U.S. Army during the war in Afghanistan. In August 2012, Groberg was severely injured with his efforts to thwart a suicide bomber which ended in the death of four of his fellow comrades. It was not until Nov. 12, 2015, that Groberg received the Medal of Honor for his actions.

Groberg was originally born in France to his French

“The free-market has shown that it cannot be trusted,” Hutchinson said.

The dais also discussed the effectiveness of the Black Lives Matter movement, and making the opening statement Hutchinson said, and the rest of the debaters also agreed, race relations in the U.S. are not very well.

However, both groups did have different opinions as to both the cause and source of the problems. For the TSD there is hardly a difference

from now to any other time in history, Ramirez said.

“There have been race riots in every single decade, like, in this country,” he said.

For the TCR there is a combination of socioeconomic factors and relationships with the police, Tristan McGonigal, a TCR member said.

“It’s no secret that economically troubled areas have more tense relationships between the police and the people,” McGonigal said.

This also carried the debate into a conversation on how the U.S. is treated an ongoing refugee crisis.

This brought up the current presidential election and the candidates that are running for both parties, Hillary Clinton for the Democrats and Donald Trump for the Republicans.

Both candidates have two ways they have gone about treating this issue, and both campus organizations stuck close to their perceived candidates. Citing some of Trumps statements that oppose what most other Republicans have endorsed, Ramirez said, there is not

All ticket proceeds went towards the Remember Our Heroes foundation. mother and American father, then brought to America at the age of 11. Groberg did not speak English and was entirely new to the country.

Groberg described his inspiration to enter the military came from the news of his uncle being murdered and beheaded from a radical Islam group in Nigeria.

“I knew what I wanted to do with my life and that was to serve the military,” Groberg said.

After Groberg finished college, he set his sights to enlist in the military. This was not an easy process for Groberg since he was still a French citizen. It took 18 months to denounce his French citizenship and officially enlist in the U.S. Army.

Once enlisted, Groberg

raised to the ranking of Lieutenant and went on to be deployed in Afghanistan.

Groberg described the encounter with the suicide bomber as him and a fellow soldier attempted to take on the bomber. The bomber landed at Groberg’s feet then detonated the bomb, sending Groberg 20 feet back and breaking his leg.

Four soldiers on Groberg’s team ended up losing their lives due to the suicide bomber, Groberg said.

“I couldn’t forgive myself for four months,” Groberg said. “I didn’t understand how a man like me could live and four individuals who brought so much joy and goodness to this country and world died.”

very much unity within the Republican party right now.

“Unfortunately, we can’t agree with everything our candidate says,” McGonigal said. “But we do believe in his leadership because he’s our presidential candidate.”

Both organizations did agree that in the vetting process of refugees there should be no discrimination against the majority of those the U.S. let’s in, McGonigal said.

“The (refugee registry) process is very lengthy, and it is very effective,” Hutchinson said. “To suggest anyone from any certain place or any certain believe system is more dangerous than anyone else is unacceptable and un-American.”

This also lead the conversation into combating the Islamic State terrorist organization.

For Ramirez, he said, the approach should be to go through alternative countries like Iran and give them more military backing and support – however, the other side disagreed.

“In order to rally our allies in the Middle East – we

need to go back to a Reaganesque military plan, which is peace through presence,” Ramirez said.

The night ended on the topic of abortion, and the legality of it. The groups were asked to speak of what circumstances abortions should be legal under.

For the TSD the only way to speak on the conversation was to take a hard look as to what the woman who was to have an abortion had to say or think of the process, Hutchinson said. Neither parties were going to agree on where the conception of life began, but they should agree on what the woman has to say about it, she said.

H o w e v e r, T C R s a i d that all forms of life should be protected, no matter what stage it is in, McGonigal said.

“We believe in constitutional liberties – life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are at the center of our values,” McGonigal said. “We believe that the miracle of life begins at conception and should be protected just like any other American.”

HUNTSVILLE (AP) — An East Texas man who pleaded guilty to killing a neighbor couple during a shooting rampage 13 years ago appeared headed for an execution Wednesday that he wanted.

Barney Fuller Jr. asked that all his appeals be dropped to expedite carrying out his death sentence.

Fuller, 58, would be the seventh convicted killer executed this year in Texas and the first in six months in the nation’s most active capital punishment state. His execution would be only the 16th this year nationally, a downturn fueled by fewer death sentences overall, courts halting scheduled executions for additional reviews, and some death penalty states encountering difficulties obtaining drugs for lethal injections.

Fuller surrendered peacefully at his home outside Lovelady, about 100 miles north of Houston, after a middle-of-thenight shooting frenzy in May 2003 that left his neighbors, Nathan Copeland, 43, and Copeland’s wife, Annette, 39, dead inside their rural home.

The couple’s 14-year-old son survived two gunshot wounds, and their 10-year-old daughter escaped injury because Fuller couldn’t turn the light on in her bedroom.

Third-party vote in November will not work If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times.

There is always someone vowing he’s going to vote third party in this election, give the final middle finger to the establishment and get some personal justice against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Nothing says “do better next time” than voting third party, does it? And the best part is, the people who say they’ll vote this way actually believe it will matter.

I hate to break it to you, but it doesn’t.

That sounds reassuring, doesn’t it? The idea that if everyone who is fed up with

Haley Britzky is a senior journalism major from Trophy Club.

the system votes third party, they could sway the election in their favor. But do you know what’s never actually happened? That.

For either Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson or Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein to even make it onto the debate stage with Trump and Clinton, they’d have to have 15 percent of the vote in national polls.

The Washington Post reports Johnson is currently at 7.3 percent while Stein sits at 2.4 percent, and those numbers are only getting lower.

Now hear me out. I understand this election has left a lot of people feeling like they have no option but to vote third party. It’s hard for some voters to find a home in either camp of the major parties.

However, voting third party is not the answer, especially not with these two third party candidates.

Johnson is like that goofy uncle who shows up high to family gatherings and

doesn’t have anything particular to add to the conversation, so he says just enough to sound involved.

I understand that this election has left a lot of people feeling like they have no option but to vote third party.

Johnson ran for governor of New Mexico without any substantial political resume.

He had just a political science degree and a “passion

for helping people,” according to his campaign site.

How nice.

Now sure, there’s something to be said for his contributions as governor.

H o w e v e r, w h e n a m a n can’t name a single foreign leader he has respect for and doesn’t know what and where Aleppo is, I’m not sure he’s ready to duke it out on a main-stage debate.

So, excuse me if I’m not the first to jump on his bandwagon.

Stein may have more experience than Johnson, considering she was the Green Party’s candidate in the 2012 election. However,

I can’t help but wonder if she’d be better suited as the, say, Secretary of Energy or Secretary of Health and Human Services.

And with only 2.4 percent in the polls, maybe she should give those options some thought.

So, at the end of the day, if you physically cannot bring yourself to vote for either major party candidate nor can you in good conscience stay home on Nov. 8, then sure, I guess a third-party vote is better than nothing.

Realistically, though, they don’t stand a chance. hbritzky@dailytoreador.com

Retail industry fails to represent all body types

O

ver the years, Americans have seen an increase in diversity in almost every industry: sports, music, film, television, radio, etc.

I am pleased many of our television shows and movies actually reflect our country’s unique culture.

However, it seems to me the modeling industry is way behind the trend.

In fact, I would dare to say it is one of the least diverse and most discriminatory industries in the United States.

Victoria’s Secret is perhaps the most famous lingerie company in the world.

The brand also boasts of having the “most beautiful supermodels.”

The Victoria’s Secret Angels — an elite group of models within the company — are the hallmark of the fashion industry.

According to Victoria’s Secret’s website, there are 14 Angels this year.

Out of the 14, only one is African-American. There are no Asian Angels. No NativeAmerican Angels.

Hannah Deeter is a freshman journalism major from Wheelock.

There are certainly no plus-sized models and very few models under 5’10’’ working for Victoria’s Secret.

In fact, it wasn’t until 2015 that Angolan model Maria Borges decided to wear her natural afro hair on the runway.

She made history.

The problem is, Victoria’s Secret is not the only modeling company that discourages diversity. It’s all across the board.

Plus-sized women trying to make it in the modeling industry are often met with heavy criticism.

In fact, models who aren’t even truly plus-size are labeled as so.

Robyn Lawley was considered the first “plus-size” model to appear in Sports Illustrated magazine.

Given that Lawley is anything but plus-size, this

label outraged many men and women.

Tess Holliday, a self-proclaimed plus-size model, had her picture banned from Facebook because her body was deemed “extremely undesirable” and did not meet Facebook’s “health and fitness policy.”

The picture was part of a feminist ad and featured Holliday sporting a simple bikini, and Facebook refused to endorse it.

Fans were immediately outraged, so the social media platform released an apology and allowed the ad.

Controversy is also present in advertisements that incorporate digital enhancement techniques, like Photoshop.

Sadly, even the thinnest models are digitally enhanced.

This has led to a myriad of Photoshop fails that can be found all over the internet.

Target, for example, had a picture of a model with a poorly Photoshopped thigh gap and arm.

Criticism soon followed, and Target apologized.

Many plus-sized models

and motivational speakers I follow on social media deal with constant criticism.

I can’t believe the number of hateful comments I have read online, yet these brave women continue to break down barriers and make history.

Unfortunately, it’s not

Ladies, we spend billions of dollars on clothing companies that refuse to represent us in their advertisements, c o m m e rc i a l s a n d fashion shows. just plus-size women who struggle to make it in the modeling business.

Short women have very little chance of having a successful modeling career.

Laetitia Casta has experienced a lot of success despite being only 5’7’’ in height.

To put this in perspective,

5’4’’ is the national average for women.

So, how is 5’7’’ short?

Women barely under 5’9’’ or even 5’11’’ are considered short according to Victoria’s Secret’s standards.

Therefore, women who are truly petite are extremely underrepresented in the modeling industry.

Is it wrong to exclude petites and plus-sized women from the runway?

Is it bad that Victoria’s Secret and other elite companies don’t embrace diversity? Absolutely.

The models that companies use to showcase their clothes and accessories should represent all kinds of women.

Ladies, we spend billions of dollars on clothing companies that refuse to represent us in their advertisements, commercials and fashion shows.

This has to stop.

Most of us who purchase clothes and accessories from these companies are not supermodels. I’m certainly not.

I’m about 5’3’’, and, at 140

pounds, I would probably be considered plus-size.

Let’s be honest with ourselves. Society’s definition of beauty is unfair, unrealistic and ever-changing.

It’s the reason why so many of us feel insecure about our bodies.

Our society has made significant progress over the years because of models like Lawley and Halliday.

These women are more than just supermodels.

They’re role models. However, we have much more work to do.

I want to make it very clear I’m not skinny-shaming. I have no problem with thin models.

I have a problem with companies that promote only one kind of beautiful.

Instead of promoting a fake and fickle image of what the ideal woman should look like, the modeling industry should celebrate all kinds of women because we are all dynamically different, wonderfully diverse and downright beautiful. hdeeter@dailytoreador.com

Freshman humorously outlines first six weeks of college College is completely different than high school. The first half of the first semester is a time of transition for many.

Here are my thoughts on the first six weeks at Texas Tech: Week One Finally, all of our high school hard work has led to this moment.

It’s week one of what will be my life for the next four years.

On the long list of emotions I am feeling, bubbling to the top are pride, confidence, anxiety, fear and, most of all, doubt.

Is this where I am supposed to be? Am I doing what my life is calling me to?

Did I choose the correct classes? Did I even arrive at the correct classroom, let alone at the correct time?

Doubt is the overall feeling of week one.

Daylan Holman is a sophomore architecture major from Detroit.

Week Two I think to myself, “I survived.” In fact, perhaps this university thing is a cake walk.

Four years of this? I thought I would have to work nonstop when school started and I would have absolutely no free time.

But now, I don’t even see why I doubted if this was the path for me.

Not only am I learning what I want to learn, I’m also having tons of fun.

To put it simply, I have handcuffed lightning and thrown thunder in jail.

Invincible.

I feel invincible.

Week Three “Wait. What’s that over there?” I ask myself as I get metaphorically hit with a sack of bricks.

Well, that was week three, I guess.

Week Four This time I barely survived, almost falling into a pit of failure.

I was beginning to drown in homework, and it seems as if I have completely lost connection with my friends.

Only after going through week three can I express the struggle really is real and that this week has only been getting crazier as we speak.

Not only do I have the same amount of homework as last week, but now I have exams.

The only theme that can adequately describe how this

past week has been is stressful.

Pure stress, in a nutshell, is week four.

Week Five Doubt, my old foe, is back with some friends: anxiety and motivation.

I am bracing myself for this dreaded week: exam week.

After getting through all of my homework, it’s now full-on exam time.

Now, I truly begin to question if I am prepared for these tests.

With each passing day, it gets harder and harder to get out of my bed.

Each passing thought is a prayer that I do not let my loved ones down.

Thankfully, I was able to get motivated to take these exams because my lack of homework over the weekend meant I could finally go out

and have some fun.

However, once the weekend after week five rolls around, it is nearly impossible to do anything without worrying about my performance on those darn tests.

I can look back on this first part of this semester and truly say this has been an emotional roller coaster.

Doubt, anxiety and fear are the emotions felt during week five.

Week Six The week after exam week is like a breath of fresh air.

I’m full of reflection.

I can look back on this first part of this semester and truly say this has been an emotional roller coaster.

However, I learned so much about school and myself as a person.

The amount of homework I receive is challenging, but definitely more than tolerable.

I feel like I have finally obtained a balance between school, work and play that allows me time to work hard and have a social life.

The biggest lesson I feel everyone walks away with after the first six weeks of school is that school does not get any easier from here.

We learn how to cope with what life has in store for us these next four years. dholman@dailytoreador.com

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Baylor’s Title IX leader resigns amid dispute over her role WACO (AP) — The Title IX coordinator at Baylor University has resigned over a disagreement in her role to oversee changes at the school following claims it mishandled sexual assault cases for several years.

The university said in a statement late Monday that Patty Crawford was “disappointed” in her role implementing recommendations by the law firm Pepper Hamilton, which determined earlier this year that the school mishandled rape al-

legations for years and the football program operated as it if was above the rules. Two former football players were convicted of rape, a third explayer was indicted in July and other past players have faced accusations.

Pepper Hamilton put forth more than 100 recommendations to eliminate what it deemed the school’s “hostile” response to women who said they were assaulted. For instance, one recommendation calls for the training of “senior

leadership to understand current federal law and guidance to support the University’s Title IX function and set an informed tone at the top.”

Crawford, who became the Title IX coordinator for the largest Baptist university in the U.S. in November 2014, could not be reached for comment Tuesday regarding what specifically the disagreement was about. The Pepper Hamilton investigation covered three academic years, including 2014-2015.

Father plans new milk bank after wife’s death

By KENDRA HILL Staff Writer

Communities across the nation have come together to support the Barton family after the recent death of a wife and mother.

After being born prematurely and spending a couple of weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit, Kalee and Cy Barton from Canyon were finally able to take their baby boy Cru home.

Two days later on Sept. 18, Kalee Barton, 29, died from a heart attack, according to a GoFundMe page.

Left without his mother’s breast milk, Cru was in need and a Facebook page of mothers came together to help.

“We brought Cru home from the NICU on that Friday, and then she passed away on that Sunday, and so we were basically without,” Cy Barton, Kalee Barton’s husband, said. “She had pumped a little bit of milk while Cru was in ICU, so we had a little bit of her milk left, but we just didn’t have enough.”

Kalee Barton was a member of a Facebook group on motherhood called Bits of Life, and all the mothers in the group got together to help support the family, Cy Barton said.

The Barton family has received love and support from across the country, he said. People came together to donate, collect and deliver breast milk to the family.

“It’s literally been nationwide. We’ve got people from California to Florida calling us and wanting to donate milk,” Cy Barton said. “But as far as the donations, just from that Facebook post, it’s been incredible. I’ve got three freezers in my garage that are full of donated breast milk.”

After losing his wife, Cy Barton went to a milk bank but was not able to receive milk for the baby. 90 percent of the milk donated to milk banks goes to babies in neonatal intensive care units, and the other 10 percent goes to the public.

However, in order to receive donations from the 10 percent, certain qualifications must be met, Cy Barton said.

“With Cru, we didn’t meet those qualifications because basically the baby needs to be sick. Well Cru isn’t sick,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with Cru. He just doesn’t have a mother.”

In hopes to change this situation for others, Cy Barton is in the process of establishing a new milk bank in Lubbock with a

different purpose. He has started looking into regulations of starting the new milk bank.

“We’re basically going to reverse what’s been going on across the United States,” he said. “There are only 25 milk banks across the United States, and 90 percent of all the milk like I said goes to NICU, and the other 10 percent goes to whoever is qualified.”

Cy Barton said he plans to reverse measures, so around 90 percent of breast milk from the community goes back to the community, and the other 10 percent goes to the neonatal intensive care unit.

After hearing about the story on Facebook, Abby Hulin, Ector County ISD school counselor from Odessa, said she knew what she had to do. A wife and mother, she understood the need for Cru to have breast milk and felt this was her chance to give back.

“That was something I wanted to do for Sawyer and if I can’t do it, I would want someone else to do it for him,” Hulin said. “And when I saw that post I remember thinking that I told my husband Josh the exact same thing, only this time it happened to someone else.”

After Hulin’s baby, Sawyer, had a hard time taking to a bottle, she worked to keep her supply of breast milk up and would pump twice a day while at work.

She said she began storing everything in her freezer in hopes that she would later be able to use it.

When Sawyer still was not drinking from a bottle and they were starting to run out of space in the freezer, Hulin said she decided to take all of the milk to her parents’ house in Lubbock to store it.

Hulin said she was bothered by the fact that her baby was not taking to a bottle and was going all day without eating, so she went to see a pediatrician to see if there was anything they needed to do.

The pediatrician told her Sawyer was fine and everything that he might have missed during the day while at day care, he made up at home. Hulin said because Sawyer was actually gaining weight, the pediatrician told her not to worry.

Hulin saved 137 bags of milk, approximately 800 ounces, that she was happy to donate to the Barton baby. Hulin said she believes all of this has been the work of God and that

“It wasn’t even a question of should I help. It was how can I help, who can I help and who do I need to contact?” Hulin said. “I

was even willing to drive to Lubbock to get the milk and then drive to Canyon to deliver it myself because I wanted this family to have it so bad.” @DailyToreador

Experts cite brain injury in North Carolina police shooting CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Keith Lamont Scott was a different person after suffering a traumatic brain injury in a motorcycle accident last year. Friends say his medications made him zone out, slurring his words and forgetting what he was saying in the middle of a conversation.

“You could look at him and tell something was wrong,” said Dana Chapman, a former neighbor.

“You could walk up to him, you didn’t have to speak. You could look at him and tell there was a problem.”

Scott was killed on Sept.

20 by a Charlotte police officer, prompting days of protests that included another man’s shooting death one

riotous night. Body camera and dashcam recordings released by the police department show Scott slowly backing out of an SUV. Police say he refused commands to put down a gun.

Graphic, 16-minute video released Tuesday night captures the moments just before and after the shooting, with officers treating Scott’s gunshot wounds and one officer telling his colleague to “stay right here with the gun.” Scott can be heard moaning as officers ask his name and one encourages him to “stay with us.”

Scott’s final moments also were recorded by his wife, Rakeyia, in a video shared widely on social media. She can be heard

shouting to police that her husband “doesn’t have a gun, he has a TBI.” She pleads with the officers not to shoot before a burst of gunfire can be heard.

Police Chief Kerr Putney said officers recovered a gun Scott had in his possession, but none of the videos conclusively shows that. Scott’s mother maintains he was holding a Quran.

In any case, neurologists aren’t surprised that someone with a severe traumatic brain injury would be slow to react and have difficulty following instructions, particularly when orders are being shouted by police officers with their weapons drawn.

“They don’t do well in stressful situations,” said

Dr. David Brody, professor of neurology at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. “They often make poor choices or impulsive decisions under stress.”

Brody noted that his comments refer to severe TBIs in general, and that he never saw Scott as a patient. But he said “there’s no way a patient with a TBI who doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong should own a gun or drive a car.”

As Scott’s family prepares for his wake Wednesday and his funeral and burial Thursday in James Island, South Carolina, where his mother lives, more information about the man’s condition and his life has been difficult to come by.

Chief Operating Officer Jim Musselman called the discovery exciting for the state, which receives a majority of its revenue from the oil industry.

"It has the size and scale to play a meaningful role in sustaining the Alaskan oil business over the next three or four decades," Musselman said of the discovery in a prepared statement.

Makeup trends impact self-image

By HALEY DAVIS Staff Writer

The latest cosmetic trends can be seen all over the Texas Tech campus, from contouring to false eyelashes and eyeshadow palettes for every skin tone. With so much emphasis on the development of a professional appearance during college, the line between enhancing natural features and complete cover-ups is starting to blur.

S. Nagarathinam, an associate professor and head of the department of communication at Madurai Kamaraj University i n Tami l N a d u , In d i a , published a study entitled “The Impact of Cosmetic Advertisements in Television: A study among college girl students’ selfesteem and beauty” in April 2015.

Nagarathinam’s study discusses how the media tells these women what to apply to their faces because everyone is applying it and how to groom oneself because everyone else is doing it.

Sydney Denman, a senior early childhood education major from The Colony, said society is obsessed with outward appearance.

“Everyone is always trying to be up-to-date with what the world thinks is popular these days,” Denman said.

The U.S. cosmetics industry estimated a $62.5 billion profit margin in 2016 alone, according to the Statistics Portal website.

According to Nagarathinam’s study, the cosmetic industry makes young women worry that without cosmetics, they may look unattractive.

Lindsey Griffis, a Tech alumnus, said when it comes to cosmetics, society should be more open to letting people express themselves how they see fit.

“I think a lot of women love makeup and look at it as an art,” Griffis said.

“If they want to spend the time and money, I think they should do it.”

One of the newest makeup trends to go viral is contouring, the blending of lighter and darker m a k e u p s h a d e s t o e nhance or downplay different facial features or to slim the entire face, according to the Glamour magazine website.

“I personally have contoured my face once and it was way too much for me,” Griffis said. “I can under-

stand the idea behind it being viewed as a negative thing for girls.”

Bobbi Brown, a makeup artist who founded her own collection, made public her dislike of the contouring trend because it tells women there is something wrong with their faces and encourages them to dislike a naturally round facial structure, according to the Glamour Magazine website.

“I think the contouri ng epi s ode t hat s om e people are having is way too much,” Denman said.

“I see makeup as being of use to enhance your beauty, not change how you look.”

Beyond the self-image perspective, chemicals found in many cosmetic products can create a range of adverse skin reactions that undermine the skin’s natural health, according to the Livestrong Foundation website. These damages can range from dryness to clogged pores and intensified acne.

“I’m really lucky to have clear skin,” Griffis said. “If that wasn’t the case, I’d probably wear makeup way more often.”

According to a study published in the Journal of

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cosmetic Science in 2007, entitled “Why Women Use Makeup: Implications of Psychological Traits in Makeup Functions,” variation in the physical appearance of humans is an important factor in the development of personality and social relations.

“The outside isn’t what you connect with, it’s the personality of the person,” Denman said.

Social media and the availability of photo filters also play a role in the public’s perception of appearance.

Elle Magazine fashion

blogger Olivia Fleming publishes multiple pieces discussing the lengths many social media users go to in order to hide flaws that are often invisible to others. According to one of Fleming’s pieces, Instagram filters have played a part in warping selfperception and self-esteem.

“You can filter your life to look like whatever you want,” Griffis said. “Ultimately, that has become extremely important to today’s generation.”

Only 4 percent of women around the world consider

themselves conventionally beautiful, according to the Style Caster website.

D o v e ’s R e a l B e a u t y Sketches’ survey data asserted more than 54 percent of women globally agree that when it comes to how they look, they are their own worst beauty critics.

“In general, I feel confident in my appearance,” Denman said. “I believe that my imperfections are not what matters, but more my drive and determination about life and everything I do.” @DailyToreador

Kaine attacks, Pence fights GSA hosts Pride Week PRIDE WEEK SCHEDULE back in vigorous VP debate

By DAVID GAY L a Vida Editor

FARMVILLE, Va. (AP) — Democrat Tim Kaine aggressively challenged Republican Mike Pence over a long list of Donald Trump's controversial positions and statements Tuesday night, drawing a vigorous defense of Trump's tax history. But Pence sidestepped criticism of Trump's demeaning comments about women, his public doubting of Barack Obama's citizenship and broader questions about temperament.

Indiana Gov. Pence and Virginia Sen. Kaine, who have received little attention in a race focused on Trump and Hillary Clinton, faced off for 90 minutes in the only vice presidential debate of the campaign.

With the close White House race perhaps starting to tip in Clinton's favor,

Pence outlined a detailed conservative agenda on tax policy, entitlements and immigration. He was markedly more prepared and more detailed in his answers than Trump was in last week's first presidential debate. He was also more consistent in painting the Democratic ticket as career politicians unwilling to shake up Washington.

"Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine want more of the same," Pence said. He also repeatedly accused the Democrats of running an "insult-driven" campaign — an ironic attack line given that Trump has leveled repeated insults against Clinton and his former rivals in the Republican primaries.

There was a striking difference in the two men's manner. Kaine, Clinton's usually easygoing No. 2, went on the attack from the start, repeatedly interrupting and challenging Pence.

Pence, an equally genial politician, was unflappable.

Kaine pressured Pence to answer for some of his running mate's provocative statements, using Trump's own words such as dismissing some women as pigs or slobs. He also challenged Pence on Trump's decision to break with decades of campaign tradition by not releasing his taxes.

"Donald Trump must give the American public his tax returns to show he's prepared to be president, and he's breaking his promise," Kaine said.

Asked about reports that Trump might not have paid any federal taxes for years, Pence said his running mate "used the tax code just the way it's supposed to be used, and he did it brilliantly."

Records obtained by The New York Times showed Trump suffered more than $900 million in losses in 1995 that could have allowed him to avoid paying federal income taxes for as many as 18 years.

The second annual Pride Week, put on by the Gay Straight Alliance and the Risk Intervention & Safety Education office, gives Texas Tech’s LGBTQ community and its allies the opportunity to spread awareness about the issues it faces.

Roberto Gomez Pomares, a sophomore computer science major from McAllen and historian for GSA, said Pride Week is the GSA’s way of showing Tech’s campus that they are here.

“It’s a way of letting people know that there is a support system at Tech because Tech does not have a LGBT resource center,” Pomares said.

“We as an organization act as one. So, this is a way of getting the word out, letting both the LGBTQ community and our straight allies know where to find resources.”

Reese Ramsey, a senior geography major from Petersburg and the GSA president, said it is a big deal for Tech to have a Pride Week.

“It’s pretty big for a place in conservative West Texas t o have a Pride Week,” Ramsey said. “The university supports us so much with providing us resources and giving us the support we need.”

Throughout the week, GSA sets up a response wall at the Free Speech Area for individuals to sign stating what pride

means to them.

Pomares said the wall is a way for people to express their opinions and for the community to contribute to the cause. “(Most) of the responses are about being true to yourself and being true to other people,” Pomares said. “We accept any negative comments or negative feedback as well.”

Coming Out Stories is another event occurring this week. Today, students will gather at Holden Hall in room 038 to share about their journeys of coming out.

Ramsey said Coming Out Stories is an important event for people to understand why individuals come out.

“We want to show that people have gone through the same things that someone who isn’t comfortable with coming out has,” Ramsey said. “We are not forcing anyone to do it. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and different religions. Some people have great coming out experiences and some people don’t.”

Ramsey said he thinks it is important for people

to come out and be happy.

It is a way for individuals to accept the way they are.

Pride Week is a way to show the campus not all LGBTQ people are the same, Pomares said. It gives them the opportunity to break stigma and stereotypes about their personalities.

Pride Week gives also critics of the LGBTQ community the opportunity to make negative comments.

Pomares said he understands people have different views but respect for each other is key.

“As long as we respect each other, it’s fine,” Pomares said. “We are not going to tell you how to live your life.”

Ramsey said respect is important for people of different opinions to understand each other.

“A big pillar of being in a higher institution is ‘Learn to respect others with differing views than you,’” Ramsey said. “That’s what we want to do. People need to show us respect.

It has been so long that LGBTQ people have not been given respect.” @DavidGayDT

Kardashian West assailants still at large after France heist

solutions@ dailytoreador.com

PARIS (AP) — French police on Tuesday continued hunting for five people suspected of assaulting Kim Kardashian West in a private Paris residence before robbing her of more than $10 million worth of jewelry.

Paris police said they were analyzing footage from surveillance cameras to try to identify the assailants, who wore fake police emblems on their jackets.

After forcing their way into the American celebrity's apartment in the chic eighth district, the robbers held her

up at gunpoint and locked her in a bathroom before escaping on bicycles in the early hours of Monday. They stole a jewelry box containing items worth 6 million euros ($6.7 million) as well as a ring worth 4 million euros.

Kardashian West, who was in the French capital to attend fashion week shows, returned to the U.S. Monday Paris prosecutors on Tuesday declined to answer whether the robbers had received help from the reality TV star's entourage.

Kardashian's stylist was

also in the residence at the time, and alerted police, but Kardashian's bodyguard was not present, according to the prosecutor's office.

The reality star's two children, 3-year-old North and 10-month-old Saint, were in New York with their father, Kanye West, when the robbery happened.

Interpol declined to comment on reports suggesting the notorious "Pink Panther" jewel thieves could have played a role in the robbery, saying that would be speculation.

Tech looks for consecutive victory over Kansas State

By ARIANA HERNANDEZ Staff Writer

The Red Raiders play the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan, Kansas, this upcoming Saturday.

This season, the Wildcats have proved to have skilled players on both sides. Last weekend Kansas State played West Virginia and lost by one point.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said both Tech’s defense and offense will have to show out on Saturday.

This game will not be an easy one, Kingsbury said.

“It’s going to be in the trenches on both sides of the ball with this group,” Kingsbury said. “They’re very good on their offensive line, very good on their defensive line, so we’ll have our work cut out for us.”

Senior linebacker Malik Jenkins said making turnovers against Kansas State will help keep the defense’s momentum going.

Tech made a couple of turnovers last game. However, Jenkins said the defense is not where it wants to be.

“We’re just going to have to create more turnovers than we’ve been having,” Jenkins said. “I think we’re a little bit low on the amount turnovers we wanted to get this year so far. Just us emphasizing our running to the ball and creating turnovers when we can.”

Kingsbury said Kansas State likes to put teams in difficult situations.

Last year, Tech beat the Wildcats 59-44. However, Kingsbury said he thought last year Tech struggled in turning the ball over.

“They thrive off those, turnovers and getting you in second and third long situations,” Kingsbury said. “In the first two years that we played

Didn’t turn the ball over, and that’s the key. I think our guys understand when you play this team if you squander possessions, you won’t have many offensively and defensively. You got to man up. It’s gonna be a man’s game.”

Not only will the defense have a challenge as it goes up against Kansas State’s offense, but Tech’s offense will also need to bring its best against the Kansas State defense, Kingsbury said. He said the offense has been making sloppy mistakes the past couple of games.

The Red Raiders are working toward reducing the percentage of penalties, Kingsbury said.

“We really had a heart to

heart about (penalties) as an offense. Defensively we’ve done a good job of avoiding those, but when you have 20 in I think two games, that’s insane,” he said. “And that’s just on me, that’s a lack of discipline. We really need to focus on tightening things up. I hope that shows up Saturday.”

There is a chance Red Raider fans will see junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes II on the field Saturday night.

The chance is slim, Kingsbury said, but if Mahomes is okay to play and it is safe for him, then he will be out on the field.

“We’re not there yet, so we’ll see,” he said. “But he’s that talented. If he can throw and we can keep him out of harm’s way,

if he’s able to play he’ll play. I’m not sure if he will or not, but if he can at all and be safe, then we’ll play him.”

This week the offensive and defensive lines have been physical in practice, sophomore defensive lineman Breiden Fehoko said.

He said they have been going hard in practice in preparation for Saturday.

“Yesterday and today have been a lot physical,” Fehoko said. “It’s been real etching out there, getting after it. But most of the part, I think the emphasis has been focused on the O-line and D-line this week.

And I feel like we’re responding to the call pretty well.”

The defense will have to

read the keys and try to give the linebackers the opportunity to make tackles, Fehoko said.

Last year against Kansas State, allowing the linebackers to be open to make those tackles was important, Fehoko said.

“It’s important up front that we allow our linebackers to roam free to make tackles,” he said. “That’s going to be key this game. I think that was key last year, too, when we played Kansas State.

Kansas is that kind of school.

They’ll come out, hit you in the mouth, keep pounding and pounding.”

Kansas State’s leading pass rusher is junior quarterback Jesse Ertz.

Ertz had a total of 25

come out with a performance like that is good, but we can’t get our heads above the clouds,” Fehoko said. “At the same time I know we can do it as a defense, and I know that we can stop the run, so we just gotta build on that.”

In the game against Kansas, the Tech defense

did not allow a single rushing touchdown and allowed two passing touchdowns. The defense was also able to force two fumbles and recover one.

The defense got to the Kansas quarterbacks for four sacks for 28 yards. On third downs, Kansas converted

six out of 18 times. Fehoko said he credits the play of the defense to the fundamentals.

“When we have our shots, we take them,” Fehoko said. “I feel that’s the most important thing is when we see the play and know what’s coming, just stick to our fundamentals,

strike, separate, release and make a play.”

The linebackers for Tech defense had 18 total tackles combined for the defense against Kansas.

Senior linebacker Malik Jenkins said it was because of the amount of urgency that the defense had against

rushing yards in the game against West Virginia. For the 2016 season, he has a total of 170 rushing yards.

As a lineman, Fehoko said he is going to have to find a way to get to Ertz to stop him from running the ball.

“He’s a big guy, and he’s going to look for openings,” Fehoko said. “And I think the main thing is holding your gap. I mean you look at Kansas State and what they do. They like to piggyback, and they double team. So you know as a D-lineman you want to come off the block and that guy is right there to seal you out of your place. You kind of want to hold him up and let the linebackers find the quarterback.”

Tech has several young linebackers this season, one of whom is freshman Jordyn Brooks.

Brooks has had a total of 23 tackles in the 2016 season.

Jenkins said he thinks the young players will be able to handle the pressure.

“We just have to be really good with our eyes, we got to be really disciplined,” Jenkins said. “I know we got a lot of young linebackers out there, but they’ll be all right.”

They are going to have to step up and continue to improve not only as a defense but also as an offense, Fehoko said.

The defense will need to be flexible and prepared, he said, and ready for whatever is thrown at it.

“It brings a lot on the table for the defense,” Fehoko said. “It’s going to be a good little challenge for our offense. But for the defense, we just got to be ready at any time — if the offense turns it over or if the offense goes three and out — for us to get out there and respond and show what we can do.” @A_HernandezDT

Red Raiders host Wildcats in midweek conference game

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

Transferring consistency from practice to game day has turned into the theme for the Texas Tech volleyball team. Against the Kansas State Wildcats at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the United Supermarkets Arena, the Red Raiders seek to end a six-game losing streak.

Tech coach Tony Graystone said the practices leading up to Tech’s home match shows the team is building toward the consistency it wants to see.

“You can (tell) they’re really fighting, they’re trying to get better,” Graystone said. “It’s just tough when you’re playing top 25 teams every day. You don’t get a

chance to see the improvements that we’re making.”

During its six-match losing streak, Tech has won one out of 18 sets. In its last match against the Baylor Bears, no Red Raiders reached double-digit kills, and they hit for a combined .130 hitting percentage.

Much of Tech’s struggle during its losing streak, Graystone said, has come down to shaky starts as opponents pile on leads to gain a comfortable advantage when reaching set-point.

“This is where they let things get away from them too quick,” Graystone said. “We’re working a lot on managing games and being able to recognize those moments when it’s that turning point

where they got to make that one play.”

Currently, the Wildcats pose a 12-4 overall record, but have suffered two consecutive losses. Facing the No. 4 Texas Longhorns, Kansas State contested five-sets, but lost the final set 15-12.

Kansas State’s offense ranks as one of the best in the Big 12 Conference as it posts a .254 hitting percentage, a 13.48 assist average and a 14.12 kills per set average.

In the Big 12’s top 10 individual hitting percentage leaders, three of Kansas State’s players cracked the list. Leading the trio, sophomore middle blocker Macy Flowers has a .335 hitting average, while senior middle blocker Katie

Reininger posts a .321 average and junior outside hitter Bryna Vogel records a .308 average.

In their three Big 12 matches, the Red Raiders have tallied up at least 15 errors and have yet to collect less errors than their last six opponents.

Tech’s highest error count came in its first Big 12 home match against Texas Christian with the total reaching 23.

Senior middle blocker Lauren Douglass said the team’s execution has not worked up to the team’s expectations.

“We’re just going to need to cut down our errors, play consistent ourselves,” Douglass said. “I think it will be good match if we do what we’ve been practicing.” @DGaytanDT
