at about 27,000, now we’re above 33,000. So we’ve had growth and at the same time we’ve increased our SAT scores.”

The university’s biggest campaign to date reached its goal of $1 billion Feb. 8 — months before the goal was set to be reached. As of August 31, the campaign raised $1.069 billion.

Hance said the next plan of action is to increase graduate school numbers, the number of international students and distance learning.

“We’ve had a good team and that team includes not just the administrators, but also the faculty and our students,” he said Tuesday.

“Now we’re looking at how do we grow the graduate school. That’s a big issue. How do we get more international students? What do we do about online learning, distance learning, and those are priorities we’re going to have going forward. As far as raising money, the priorities are going to be in scholarships as we move forward. We will still be raising

money even though we’ve reached the $1 billion campaign.”

When Hance came to Tech as the chancellor in 2006, he said there were two universities in the System with 30,000 students, but the System now boasts four universities and 44,000 students.

“We’ve had phenomenal growth,” he said Tuesday, “and I think that the university, it’s been a great transition and the amount of research we do is right at $200 million and it was at $40 million. Everything that we’ve done has been in large scale. The number of degrees is up 24 percent and we’ve spent over $670 million on construction in the system and building new buildings and everything we have like that.”

The Board of Regents will meet at 8:30 a.m. today in the Student Union Building.

2010

SGA votes to support residence hall parking spots Texas Tech’s Student Government Association passed a resolution encouraging the installation of additional parking spaces near residence halls in Thursday’s Senate meeting.

Senate Resolution 49.10 passed with 100 percent Senate approval. The resolution asked for more 30-minute parking spaces in the Z2 parking lot behind the Horn/Knapp Residence Complex.

There are no temporary parking spaces for visitors and students, and visitors need a place to park without receiving a citation, according to the resolution. The majority of other residence halls have 30-minute parking and the Senate found it necessary to make a change.

“I agree with the resolution,” Sen. Gustavo Chavira, a senior international business and Spanish major from El Paso, said. “I know as a freshman parking there, it was really hard for all the students there, so I think there should be more 30-minute parking.”

The Senate also passed Resolution 49.22 with 100 percent approval. The resolution aimed to recognize the accomplishments of Christopher Shulman on being one of the two students in the country elected as a student representative to the National Council of the Mortar Board.

At Texas Tech, the total number of sex offenses has risen in the last year, according to the 2012 Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics report.

In 2010, five total sex offenses were reported.

The number of occurrences decreased in 2011, when three cases were recorded. This year, the number once again rose to five total sex offenses.

Tech Police Department Administrative Captain Stephen Hinkle said he believes the number has grown because more cases are being reported.

Informing the public and getting the word out about sexual offenses has helped motivate victims to report assaults, Hinkle said.

“Statistically, a lot of rapes or sexual assaults go unreported,” he said, “and I think that we have more people coming forward now because that word has been coming out for years.”

The five sex offenses recorded were labeled as forcible sex offenses. There were no nonforcible occurrences reported.

Forcible sex offenses are normally cases involving forcible rape, forcible sodomy, sexual assault with an object and forcible fondling, Hinkle said. Incest and statutory rape are generally classified as nonforcible sex offenses.

Alcohol is a big factor in most sex-offense occurrences, Hinkle said.

“The majority of the time, when we do have a sexual assault reported to us, I would say 99 percent of the time alcohol is involved,” he said.

KENT HANCE

Ha

Lubbock police officers responded to a civil disturbance in which a peace officer was assaulted at Raiders Pass Apartments at 2:50 a.m. Thursday, according to a news release.

Sgt. Jason Lewis said the subject said he was a Texas Tech student.

A male subject was aggressive toward his roommate and talked to imaginary people, according to the release. The subject assaulted an officer and ran toward the bathroom, then crashed through the bathtub wall into the bedroom.

Officers made it to the bedroom door when the subject jumped head first through the third-story window.

The subject ran through the parking lot and fled to a pond, according to the release, where he was then arrested in chest-high water.

He was admitted to University Medical Center for possible injuries, according to the release. He faces possible criminal charges when released from the hospital.

An anonymous source close to Texas Tech System Chancellor Kent Hance confirmed late Thursday Hance’s plans to retire next year.

Reports from a Texas Tribune article indicated Hance’s plans to announce his retirement as chancellor as early as today at the Board of Regents meeting.

“The time is still to be determined (when he will retire), but it is going to be well into next year, I believe,” the source said. “He will never quit working for Texas Tech. He loves Texas Tech and he will be working for them whether he’s getting paid or not.”

In an interview Tuesday, Hance said he would not be chancellor forever.

“I love Texas Tech,” he said in the interview Tuesday. “I love everything about it. I enjoyed it when I was here as a student. I enjoyed it as a professor and you know I’m not going

to do this forever. I’ll be 71 in November. But, no matter what I do in the future, I’ll still stay connected with Texas Tech.”

Hance completed the biggest campaign for HANCE the System Aug. 31, Vision and Tradition: The Campaign for Texas Tech.

When Hance was first announced as the chancellor in 2006, he said he wasn’t sure how much money he wanted to raise, but he knew he wanted to raise money for the System. In late 2007, he said he decided to raise $1 billion.

“I wanted to raise more money for Tech,” he said Tuesday. “I wanted to increase the enrollment at this campus to 40,000. We were

“Nothing could really get that kid down,” Austin Pilgrim, a freshman political science major, said of his pledge brother, Draven Wirick, who died Sunday night in a car accident in Kimble County.

Pilgrim, along with about 100 other Theta Xi fraternity brothers and friends, gathered at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Greek Circle to celebrate the life of Wirick in a candlelight ceremony.

“He had the bluest eyes in the world, it was like his claim to fame,” Pilgrim said with a laugh.

He said Wirick would give rides to his friends and fraternity brothers no matter how late it was.

“At two o’clock in the morning he got up to help me. He was that kind of guy,” he said.

Along with helping friends, Wirick loved music, Pilgrim said.

“Draven was really into hardcore metal — that was his favorite kind of music,” he said.

Pilgrim said he remembered driving around with Wirick, blaring music. Wirick also enjoyed longboarding and would longboard all around campus.

Wirick came to Texas Tech and only had to pay about $700 for tuition, Pilgrim said, explaining that Wirick

used hard work and good grades to earn enough scholarships to pay for his tuition.

Pilgrim said Wirick was outgoing even outside of the fraternity and would ask strangers or other students living in his residence hall how their day was going.

“His favorite class was one that he had with Baker Mayfield, history of rock and roll. He would always talk about it, if he went,” Pilgrim said, explaining Wirick had a habit of sleeping through the alarms he set for class.

“He was always the first person to help,” Sam Fadduol, the Theta Xi member who put the event together, said.

Fadduol said he remembered one time when he had two tests in a week and Wirick came and helped him with homework so he wouldn’t be overwhelmed.

“He was different,” he said. “Definitely different. He was literally the most serious kid I’ve ever met, but at the same time the goofiest, wildest kid ever. He was definitely his own person.”

Fadduol said Wirick loved Pop Tarts and Ramen Noodles, and they were the only two food items Wirick ever had in his room.

He said Wirick aspired to design video games one day.

Graduate student receives scholarship for international work, work in science

By TYLER DORNER Staff Writer

Graduate student Eric Howell received the Robin J. Copeland Scholarship for his international work and his work in science.

This is a scholarship fund established by Copeland’s who was a U.S. diplomat who served in both the Soviet Union and the U.S. and was very accomplished and energetic, said Ron Chesser, a professor in biological sciences and director of the Center for Environmental Radiation Studies. Copeland was fluent in seven languages.

“The scholarship is through Texas Tech University is to award an outstanding student that is working in science and international diplomacy,” Chesser said.

Copeland was big on using science for diplomatic relations in different countries. The West Texas native did worked in Middle East, Chesser said.

She passed away in October 2011 and her family established a memorial fund in her memory with contributions given from around the globe. Howell is the first recipient of the award.

“Texas Tech wants to recognize academic qualities that form the foundation for leadership,” Chancellor Kent Hance said in a news release.

“This scholarship is a way to honor students with talent and ambition like Robin’s, and I believe Eric is an outstanding candidate to honor her memory.”

Howell has worked in Ukraine to train Iraqi scientists on methods

of radiation detection and health assessments, Chesser said. He has also traveled to Iraq to assist in dismantling former nuclear facilities and has made a total of 10 different trips since 2008.

Most recently Howell spent a one-year internship in Vienna, Austria, to direct the technical sessions on dismantlement’s of Iraq’s nuclear facilities and now is back to finish his doctoral degree in biological sciences at Tech, Chesser said.

“It’s an honor to receive this award, and it could not have been possible without these great once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that have been extended to me by my peers and colleagues,” Howell said in the release. “I hope that my accomplishments both at Texas Tech and the International Atomic Energy Agency can bring honor not only to my university but to the name of Robin J. Copeland.”

Howell had to apply for the scholarship and competition for the scholarship with many other students, however, Chesser said Howell was an easy candidate for the award.

The scholarship is for an entire year’s tuition and fees and from there Howell will look to finish getting his doctoral degree and then looking for a job in the field, Chesser said.

“What an outstanding young student he has been,” Chesser said. “He has really made a huge effort to involve himself in not only good science but also using that science as a diplomatic tool in a variety of nations.” ➤➤tdorner@dailytoreador.com

Wirick died in a car accident on Sunday.

“He was one of a kind,” Fadduol said.

Selflessness was another characteristic Wirick possessed.

“No matter how bad anything could be, he would never complain,” Eli Adair, a freshman natural resources major from San Antonio, said.

He said Wirick would push through things without telling others what he was going through.

“He was stubborn, too. Draven was stubborn. Hated cowboy boots,” Adair said, explaining how Wirick wouldn’t conform to southwestern culture.

Tech’s number of sex offenses is lower than other universities despite the university’s individual increase.

In 2012, Texas A&M University had a total of seven sex offenses reported. The total for the University of Texas at Austin was 18. All of the occurrences were labeled as forcible for both universities.

“Unfortunately, the numbers were higher this year,” Hinkle said. “Hopefully we won’t have any next year.”

If a sexual offense does take place, the victim needs to call 911 immediately after the occurrence, Hinkle said. There are certain steps to take to preserve evidence. If the person involved reports the incident at a later time, Hinkle suggests still calling 911, or calling or visiting the Tech PD office.

After contacting the police, several steps are taken to report the case and to provide the victim with the necessary care.

“It’s completely up to the victim, but we ask them to go to the University Medical Center, and if they agree they can drive themselves or we will take them,” Hinkle said. “We call a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner)

everywhere, from Houston to Florida, to his family at Tech.

“I was extremely excited to finally have someone else in computer science in my fraternity,” Mose Gumble, a sophomore computer engineering from McKinney, said.

Gumble said they would hang out and talk about programming and he was excited to help Wirick with his classes.

“Me and him would play League of Legends together, and we did all this stuff,” he said. “We were actually waiting to play together on Monday.” ➤➤khollifield@dailytoreador.com

Nurse. They are actually trained specifically to look for signs and symptoms of sexual assault. They do an examination for us, while they’re there we also call Lubbock Rape Crisis, and a counselor comes out and meets with them as well.”

Leslie Timmons, the community educator and volunteer coordinator for Voice of Hope, a rape crisis center in Lubbock, said the center provides free services for victims.

“After the exam, they are entered into our system, and then we call three to five days after the assault to check on them and see if they need other resources, and then hopefully we can get them in to see our counselor,” she said.

For Tech students, services mostly consist of counseling, referrals ¬— if needed —and educational presentations, Timmons said. Victims should call the center, which grants anonymity, to make an appointment with a counselor.

Last year, 93 percent of victims who visited the center were female, and 7 percent were male, Timmons said.

Acquaintance rape is the most common case the center handles.

“Most of the perpetrators are someone they know,” Timmons said. ➤➤cwilson@dailytoreador.com

Week works to raise mental health awareness

By MIKAEL GONZALES Staff Writer

Mental Illness Awareness Week, which runs Oct. 6 through Oct. 12, is annually recognized and works to bring attention to understanding mental illnesses.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness website, MIAW first was established by Congress in 1990 to bring attention to mental health and mental illness in the U.S. “Since then, mental health advocates across the country have joined with others in their communities to sponsor activities, large or small, for public education about mental illness,” according to the website.

In an effort to bring awareness to college students with mental health issues, NAMI conducted a study in 2011 surveying 765 college students about their expe-

The program offers classes to students ranging from 4 to 68 years old, he said, and the program trains the mind, physical body and spirit.

Health Select, the benefit program for HSC employees enrolled with the Employee Retirement System, participated in the event to educate HSC employees about the benefits they can receive.

Sharon Hennessy, a representative of Health Select, said they offer wellness programs and encourage employees to live a healthy lifestyle.

Hennessy said Health Select also offers wellness coaching on topics such as nutrition, disease management, weight management, stress management, exercise and tobacco cessation.

“I would probably encourage people to exercise and eat healthy,”

rience living with mental health issues.

The students in the study were of all ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations and illnesses.

According to the report, 64 percent of the respondents said they no longer attended college because of mental health-related issues and 45 percent of these students said they did not receive accommodations for their illnesses.

“A depressive episode made it impossible for me to go to classes and I did not get help until it was too late,” one survey respondent said. “I was withdrawn and I could never afford the cost to go back because I lost my scholarship for being withdrawn.”

The students in the survey agreed the best ways to prevent students from suffering in silence are to bring awareness to these illnesses and recognize other people

who may be suffering.

“I think there should be a mental health and wellness course that is mandatory for the first semester of all incoming students,” another survey respondent said.

Morgan Vaughn, a freshman retail management major from Sulphur Springs, said she has a sister who has mild autism and believes anyone with various mental illnesses can have a normal life.

“As far as her schoolwork, I know she has modified assignments,” Vaughn said. “But at home for the most part she’s OK.” Patience, Vaughn said, is something people should realize they need to know if they are around someone with a mental illness.

“I see people get frustrated with her a lot because they don’t understand,” Vaughn said.

The most important piece of advice she said she could give

to people who are not familiar with mental illnesses would be to educate themselves on the subject and seek medical help from specialists and physicians.

Dr. Annie Lincoln, a Lubbock psychiatrist, said she believes there is no age limit on mental illness.

“All the mental illnesses can happen from small children all the way to adults,” she said.

Illnesses, such as depression and anxiety, Lincoln said, are commonly passed down from parents to children.

These illnesses can be detected early, she said, and the simplest way to find out if people are suffering from a mental illness is to Google search the symptoms.

“The earlier you find out the mental illness, the earlier you get the treatment,” Lincoln said.

Treatments differ depending on the illnesses and can be admin-

involvement and engagement with students.

Resolution 49.25 passed with 96 percent approval. The resolution recognized the efforts of Lance Nail, dean of the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration and the communications and marketing department for its efforts with Rawls Leader in 2020. Thtough Rawls Leader, Nail aimed to promote student, faculty, staff and alumni engagement within the college. With the initiative, Nail aimed to bring

recognition to the university and help with its international credibility.

The Senate passed Resolution 49.13 with 92 percent approval and was about the sentiments of the Senate regarding hosting open forums for the Vice President of Research candidates. A Senator spoke on the resolution’s behalf, explaining the importance of recognizing the open forums as they gave students, faculty and staff the opportunity to provide feedback on the candidates.

The Senate also passed Resolution 49.17, which regarded a moment of reflection in Senate meetings, with 73 percent approval. The resolution would not permanently incorporate a 10-second moment of silence into the meetings, but a temporary one which a senator hoped would later become permanent. Two said the addition of a moment of reflection after the Texas pledge would help support all beliefs and all individuals listening to the meeting.

she said. “It’s all about nutrition and exercise and portion limitations.”

Blair Gowens, the wellness director for Health Select, said Health Select supports the programs HSC already has in place.

“The Health Sciences Center has taken advantage of the legislature,” he said. “If you do your online health assessment and get your wellness visit — your annual exam — then you get eight hours of paid leave.”

Gowens said the program offers online nursing consultation, which enables those enrolled in the program to call a trained nurse to determine if further medical attention is required.

Hope? Shutdown/debt talks but no resolution yet WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation’s economy on the line, President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans groped inconclusively Thursday for a compromise to avert an unprecedented U.S. default as early as next week and end the 10-day-old partial government shutdown.

“We expect further conversations tonight,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said cryptically at nightfall, after he, Speaker John Boehner and a delegation of other Republicans met for more than an hour with Obama at the White House.

The White House issued a statement describing the session as a good one, but adding, “no specific determination was made.”

Yet it seemed the endgame was at hand in the crises that have bedeviled the divided government for weeks, rattled markets in the U.S. and overseas and locked 350,000 furloughed federal workers out of their jobs. Both sides expressed fresh hopes for a resolution soon.

The up-and-down day also fea-

tured a dour warning from Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, who told lawmakers that the prospect of default had already caused interest rates to rise — and that worse lay ahead.

Appearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Lew said the Treasury must pay Social Security and veterans benefits as well as salaries to active duty military troops during the second half of this month. He said failure to raise the $16.7 trillion debt limit by Oct. 17 “could put timely payment of all of these at risk.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid advanced legislation to simply raise the debt limit and stave off the threat of an unprecedented federal financial default — a measure that Republicans are likely to block unless he agrees to change it.

Across the Capitol, Boehner left open the possibility of launching a rival measure in the House on Friday.

As he described it for his rank and file in a closed-door morning session in the Capitol, it would leave the shutdown in place while raising

the nation’s $16.7 trillion debt limit and setting up negotiations between the GOP and the president over spending cuts and other issues.

At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney told reporters the president would “likely sign” a short-term extension in the debt ceiling, and did not rule out his doing so even if it left the shutdown intact.

Reid wasn’t nearly as amenable.

“Not going to happen,” he said brusquely.

By the time House Republicans had returned from the White House hours later, Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., said part of their hope was to “quickly settle” on legislation to permit the government to reopen.

Rogers, the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, told reporters it was clear Obama would “like to have the shutdown stopped ... and we’re trying to find out what he would insist upon in the (legislation) and what we would insist upon.”

Heartened by any hint of progress, Wall Street chose to accentuate the positive. After days of decline,

the Dow Jones industrial average soared 323 points on hopes that the divided government was taking steps to avoid a default. Reid’s dismissive comments at the White House came at the end of the trading day.

After more than a week of lost tourism, some governors prevailed on the Obama administration to let states use their own money to pay for national parks to reopen, Grand Canyon and Zion among them.

There was a catch — the Interior Department made it clear it didn’t plan to reimburse the states after the shutdown ends.

istered through either therapy or medication, she said.

“I’m a psychiatrist so I treat with medication,” Lincoln said.

“But then there’s therapy, which is done by psychologists.”

One of the main reasons college students continually suffer from untreated mental illnesses, she said, is because they are too ashamed to seek treatment.

“All these years mental illness is thought of as stigma because people don’t want to talk about it,” Lincoln said.

In reality, she said, mental illnesses are fairly common and natural.

“They feel it’s a shame to say or find out of a mental illness,” Lincoln said. “But actually mental illness is exactly like a medical illness.”

She said she would compare mental health illnesses, such as depression, with pancreatic ill-

nesses because both have to do with the body.

Varying levels of serotonin and melatonin can be the cause of mental illnesses, such as depression, which is completely neurological, Lincoln said.

But getting the proper diagnosis from a physician, she said, is the proper way to go about treating mental illnesses.

Students at Texas Tech looking for mental health resources are encouraged to visit the Student Counseling Center.

According to its website, the center offers 30-minute counseling sessions with no appointment necessary and works to meet the mental health needs of students.

“At the Student Counseling Center, we celebrate and affirm the differences among people from all walks of life,” the website states.

Law school, business college rank in Princeton Review best schools list Texas Tech School of Law and Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration were named to the 2014 The Princeton Review’s The Best 169 Law Schools and The Best 295 Business Schools, respectively.

According to a news release, the Princeton Review does not rank the schools on a single list or name just one school the best overall, but instead, offers 11 ranking lists of the top 10 schools in a variety of categories.

“Executive-style MBA programs offer the option of a convenient block scheduling system that students like (“We meet twice a year for seven days straight, eight hours a day”) or a one-weekend-a-month calendar,” according to an article about Rawls College, according to the release. “Rawls has custom designed a number of combined

degrees and executive-style MBA programs to fit the needs of professionals of all stripes.”

Rawls College also offers a wide variety of core courses, according to the release. Students commented that instructors are “beyond knowledgeable in their fields” and also are “easy to access for questions about course work or the job market in their particular field,” according to the release.

In the listing for the School of Law, when it’s time to begin searching for jobs or clerkships, according to the Review article, Tech maintains “a great reputation in the Texas legal markets as producing hardworking, effective lawyers,” and “students choose Texas Tech precisely for that reputation and are proud of the results.” ➤➤lmeharg@dailytoreador.com

US must reform education, meet higher standards Jordan Sigler This is a problem because we are behind in critical skills needed to compete with other countries in terms of economic prosperity with the class that’s supposed to build it.

According to the article, the U.S. scored near the bottom in the problem-solving using technology part of the test. This is not a good portion of education to be behind in as it correlates to how we are able to function using those skills in the economy.

The future that will replace them doesn’t look promising either. In skills such as writing,

just a quarter of 12th graders were proficient, according to an assessment by the National Assessment of Educational Progress that was reported in a Huffington Post article.

Tw e n t y five percent of students meeting the criteria for any necessary standard of education is a miserable failure and needs to be looked at. A nation cannot lead when 75 percent of its population lacks the skills to write properly.

“

It’s not just writing we lag behind in, though. The U.S. lags behind in a number of areas.

A 2012 Pearson study showed the U.S. was ranked No. 17 in the world in education.

This rank will not get the job done in the future global economy if the U.S. wants to retain its global prosperity.

Spending gobs of money has not worked so far. In fact, spending more than any other country and coming up at No. 17 shows there

Falling behind other nations needs to be a wake-up call that we need to change something in our education system...

“

T

he U.S. spends more on education than any other developed nation, and it’s still behind in terms of learning.

According to a New York Post article, a test developed and released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development showed U.S. adults are behind their peers in foreign countries.

According to the test, “Japan, Canada, Australia, Finland and multiple other countries scored significantly higher than the United States in all three areas on the test.” The test was made up of math, reading and problem-solving using technology sections.

All of those sections are important skills to acquire.

It isn’t just American children who are behind now, but adults.

is a large amount of inefficiency.

Throwing even more money at the problem is not likely to help either. There needs to be change in how we deal with the fundamentals of education.

Federal intervention in the form of the No Child Left Behind Act hasn’t helped either. Teaching to the testing standards of the federal government hasn’t made an impact for lasting learning. Politicians should not be in charge of deciding what gets taught in school, or what tests are important. This should be in the hands of the people whose expertise is education.

At the same time, those educators need to be held responsible for their performance. Higher salaries for higher test scores, or whatever the standard measure would be, would give incentive for educators to work harder to

help students learn.

Students and their parents also have a responsibility to try and improve their skills. Education is of importance, not just for personal gain, but also for societal gain. Instead of mocking those who read or advance their cognitive skills in other ways, students should be encouraged to do so.

Education needs to become a priority so the U.S. can continue to compete with the rest of the world. Falling behind other nations needs to be a wake-up call that we need to change something in our education system, especially when we are in the midst of a changing economy — one that isn’t the most promising and breeds heavy competition.

Respect disappearing Patrick wrong to attack in-state tuition law in American society

By DAILY TEXAN EDITORIAL BOARD Daily Texan (U. Texas)

iOwa sTaTe Daily (iOwa sTaTe U.)

The year is 2013, and my ancestors are turning over in their graves.

Respect, which was once found on every corner in every city of the United States, has mostly flown out of the window. Now, while this does not apply to every single person, generally speaking, respect is nearly unheard of nowadays. I would do everything to go back in the time of my great grandparents’ day where respect was simply an automatic action and not just a facade that many people try to portray as part of their character.

I grew up responding to questions with a “no, ma’am” or a “yes, sir.” I didn’t think anything of it. I was taught that no matter what, you respect your elders, the people in charge and those around you. I never questioned my grandpa when he gave his money to the cashier at McDonald’s and said: “Thank you, ma’am” before walking away to his seat. I never questioned an older man that I once saw shaking hands with a 20-something military personnel and say: “Thank you, for your service, sir.” I was simply taught that this was the right thing to do and I cannot thank those who helped teach me my p’s and q’s enough.

When I came to Iowa State, I expected there to be more manners across campus. When someone holds the door open for me, I always thank them. When someone hands me something, I thank them. Too often do people just expect people to hold the door for them without a simple thankyou. That, to me, is just plain wrong. I was taught growing up to always thank the bus driver. I feel morally wrong if I get off a bus without a simple phrase that takes less than a second to say. I kid you not, I have heard maybe a total of five people express their gratitude so far this year.

For the past few years, the phrase “respect is earned, not given” has been circulating through the country, and I could not disagree more. Respect is given. Unless someone gives you a great reason not to trust them, every person has the right to your respect.

Growing up on the south side of Des

Moines has really opened my eyes to the unsurpassable amount of disrespect all around us today. For example, teachers are among those who are the most disrespected for no apparent reason. Teachers are the building blocks to the next generation. Regardless of if you do not like them as a person or not, you should always respect their position as a teacher. This also applies to bosses; no matter how they are as a person, you should respect their position.

The respect toward religion should always be, but rarely is, present everywhere. We live in a time where people are ridiculed for whether or not they believe in God, and to me that is just wrong. Whether you believe in a God is entirely up to you, but don’t you dare tell me that my religion isn’t real or prod me about my beliefs. My beliefs are my beliefs. Respect my beliefs, as I respect yours.

My biggest issue concerning respect is by far patriotic respect. This includes, but isn’t limited to, failure to remove hats during the national anthem, talking during the national anthem, talking poorly about your country and disrespecting military personnel.

I do hold our nation’s national anthem close to me as I think most people should. I get chills every single time I hear that familiar beloved tune.

The national anthem is important because it shows our unity — our strength as a country. To not stand up and remove their hats is probably the most disrespectful thing you could possibly do in my eyes. People have fought and died for your freedom, the least you can do is stand during a three minute song.

When I was younger, I saw a World War II veteran sit in a wheelchair during the national anthem. It was one of the most moving things I have ever seen. The anguished desire in his eyes to stand up was incredible, his eyes welling up when hearing “that our flag was still there.” Step back and think of those who would give up everything to be able to stand up for those glorious words, and I promise you, you will never have a problem holding your hat again.

Let us know what you think.

On Monday, State Sen. and current candidate for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, released his first televised campaign ad, in which he vowed to both “secure the border” and “fight Obama.” Patrick had little to say in the 30-second spot about actual immigration policy, but he did manage to flout his bona fides as the only candidate for the position who has a history of opposing in-state tuition for undocumented students.

We understand why Patrick would take aim at undocumented students pursuing higher education, as very few of them overlap with his voter base.

But that doesn’t stop us from being disgusted and concerned that Patrick,

have signed an affidavit stating that they will apply to become a permanent United States citizen as soon as they are eligible to do so. Students who meet these four criteria are also eligible to receive some state, but no federal, financial aid grants.

In other words, the undocumented students receiving in-state tuition are those who have already proven themselves committed to gaining an education in Texas and who have the least access to financial aid.

Moreover, studies completed as recently as 2010 have shown that undocumented immigrants tend to have lower family incomes, further limiting their ability to pay for a higher education — suggesting that Texas is not missing out on out-of-state tuition dollars when they give undocumented students the in-state price.

There is one glaring problem with the current in-state tuition law, in that there is no mechanism for ensuring that undocumented students actually apply for citizenship when eligible. Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples, who is also running for the Lieutenant Governorship and who voted for the bill in 2001 as a member of the Texas Senate, pointed out as much in a reply to Patrick’s ad.

Ideally, students that the state has spent money to educate through high school and college would make their relationship with the country official and file for citizenship.

Rather than search for solutions to this problem, Patrick has decided to push these educational opportunities for undocumented students off of the table and go straight for the throat of this progressive and practical law.

Teachers deserve recognition throughout year

By ALEX NIBLETT

OklahOma Daily (U. OklahOma)

World Teacher’s Day is an annual day observed by over 100 countries every year on Oct. 5. Though it landed on Saturday this year, schoolteachers around the globe were celebrated for their contributions to education.

Teacher appreciation day is great — all of the hard work teachers do deserves a national holiday. But teachers shouldn’t only be recognized on a certain day or certain week, they should be appreciated year-round. We should express our gratitude more often than most of us do.

Ever since we were little kids, we’ve

been constantly learning from someone, whether it has been our parents, our teachers or our friends. While many people have a made a difference in our lives over the years, teachers have arguably engrained some of the most important lessons in our lives, and not all of these lessons can be found in a book.

Teachers are role models. Often times, their work and patience goes unnoticed until years after we’ve graduated high school and college when we recall a day our teacher taught us something we’ll never forget.

Time traveling back to my elementary years, almost every teacher of mine made an impact on my perspectives.

I learned how to be patient, how to forgive, how to feel proud of an accomplishment, how to treat others with respect and how to go out in the world someday with big dreams and determination.

Teachers are remarkable, selfless individuals. Most teachers and professors teach for the love of teaching and the desire to help students understand subjects our lives will likely revolve around — they’re not in it for the money.

The average starting teacher salary in the U.S. was $35,672 in the 2011-12 school year, according to the National Education Association. In Oklahoma specifically, the starting salary was $31,600. Sure, it’s enough to pay the

bills, but it’s nowhere near an amount reflective of how much they’re worth to other students and myself.

The teachers we had during our grade school years helped us get to where we are today, and they deserve a big thank-you. They were there to hold our hands, but they also challenged us to never stop learning. The reason you can read and understand this column is most likely because of a teacher.

Make time to send your old teacher or professor a note saying thanks.

Sending them a personal, hand written thank-you note briefly describing the difference or affect they had on your life makes their job worth more than any raise could.

America, economy cannot afford government shutdown

By LAMA ALQASEMI

The Oracle (U. sOUTh FlOriDa)

Since the government shutdown started Oct. 1, around 800,000 federal government employees were furloughed with the promise of backpay only granted later.

Many have since returned to work, but the impact of such numbers will undoubtedly take a negative toll on the U.S. economy and create chaos.

The last shutdown in 1995 cost

EDITORIAL BOARD

By DANNY SCHNATHORST

a strong candidate in the race for Texas’ second-in-command, has decided to strike out first at a law that and provides Texas students with a greater access to higher education.

The law was passed with bipartisan support in 2001 and was signed by Gov. Rick Perry, both in 2001 and again in 2005.

Under current law, undocumented students — or students who have entered the U.S. without being inspected or without the necessary legal documents — may pay in-state tuition at public universities like UT if they meet four criteria: Students must have graduated from a Texas high school or received their GED in Texas, have lived in Texas for up to three years before graduating high school, have lived in Texas in the 12-months immediately preceding their attending college and

the government $2.1 billion. If similar circumstances were to happen now, it would shave off as much as 0.9 percent of U.S. GDP from this quarter, according to an article published by BBC News.

Though people fear this outcome, the economy is expected to become worse than it was in 1995.

During that time, the economy was booming and moving toward upward growth, which is not the case today.

In 1995, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former President Bill Clinton were open to discussion and coming up with a compromise, which President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner are not.

According to USA Today, Obama and Boehner both rejected a compromise on the debt ceiling and shutdown circumstances Tuesday.

But the U.S. economy cannot afford such tactics right now.

With so many people laid off as a result of the shutdown, and the return of compensation to come only once the government starts up again, less money will be circulating in the economy, causing the expected outcome of deflation.

According to an article published

Former Homecoming queen reminisces

By CALLIE POINDEXTER Staff Writer

As Lugene Pickering cheers on the Red Raiders at Saturday’s Homecoming game, she will be reminded of hearing her name booming over the loudspeakers while standing on the same field 38 years ago.

Pickering, whose name was Lugene Lane when she attended Texas Tech, was crowned Homecoming queen in 1975.

The Tech alumna, who graduated in 1977 with a home economics degree, said she was shocked to find out she was chosen.

“You know, you hear people say it’s great to be nominated,” Pickering said, “but I just couldn’t believe that a little girl from Haskell would even be nominated, so it was just a shock, I couldn’t believe it.”

Pickering was a member of Delta Gamma sorority, an Alpha Tau Omega fraternity little sister

SGA offers optional activities instead of parade

By CHELSEA GRUNDEN Staff Writer

Although the Texas Tech campus will witness the many traditions surrounding Homecoming this year, the long-lasting tradition of the parade is unable to be celebrated.

Because of the Tech football game’s 11 a.m. Saturday kickoff against Iowa State University, all of the parade festivities originally scheduled for Saturday morning were canceled.

According to an email from President M. Duane Nellis, as a member of the Big 12 Conference, the football program lends much public interest. Most, if not all, of the games are televised and the kickoff times are not validated until a week or two in advance of the game. This issue is not unheard of, though, as it also occurred in 2005, when the Homecoming parade was canceled six days prior to when it was scheduled.

Many student organizations dedicated much time and energy preparing for the parade. In his email, Nellis said it was unfortunate the parade had to be canceled, but he hoped the school is willing to help showcase the tremendous growth and advancement of the university and use Homecoming week as a way to showcase students’ pride in being a part of the Red Raider family.

Nellis encouraged any organizations that found themselves at a financial disadvantage because of the cancellation to get in touch with Student Government Association. Through the Core Values Program Fund, SGA is able to help locate funds as they plan for additional events throughout the year.

SGA President Luke Cotton said it is SGA’s duty to work with any organization that comes in contact with them that has issues.

SGA will help the groups with their financial issues and help them find storage opportunities for any items unable to be used this year.

While they are unable to return the money to the organizations, they can help fund some of the other events the student organizations have planned later in the year.

“We are kind of limited with what we can provide, simply because everyone has to adapt to the circumstances of the decision,” Cotton said. “It’s unfortunate that it is canceled, but it does make sense logistically. We’re working with Dr. Nellis to help everyone out through this difficult time.

We think it’s unfortunate to see so many students upset about it. Our main goal is to serve students and make their collegiate experience better, so it hurts us to see that the student population is affected like this.”

Cotton said although the parade cancellation is unfortunate for those involved, it can open gates up to more opportunities and encouraged all students and student organizations to participate in Take A Kid to The Game day on Saturday. Participants will meet at 9:30 a.m. to take elementary school students to the game.

“A lot of them are less privileged and do not get the opportunity to go to many football games, so Tech Athletics is making this a priority of theirs — getting engaged with the community,” Cotton said.

“We, as students, should definitely help them with that and get involved with it.” ➤➤cgrunden@dailytoreador.com

New from Hershey: soft caramels NEW YORK (AP) — Chew this.

The Hershey Co. is launching a new candy brand, its first new brand in 30 years, a soft caramel creme line called Lancaster. And for the first time it is taking a double barreled approach, debuting the candy in the U.S. and China at once.

The move comes as China increasingly becomes a focus for U.S.based consumer goods companies that are seeking to offset slower growth in developed markets like

North America. Hershey, which makes candy such as Kit Kat, Twizzlers and Hershey’s Kisses, said its most recent quarter that new products in both the U.S. and overseas helped its net income rise 18 percent.

“China and the U.S. are major focus markets for the company,” said Steven Schiller, senior vice president of sweets and refreshment.

China is the second largest sweets market behind the U.S., he added.

and twirled for the Goin’ Band from Raiderland.

She said she was nominated by her Delta Gamma sisters and later found out they played a large role in her selection.

“The new members of Delta Gamma,” Pickering said, “they divided up and like 10 of them went to the Library, and 10 went to the Ag building. I mean they scouted the whole campus and recruited people to go vote.”

Dressed in formal attire, she said the Saddle Tramps president escorted her.

Pickering said when she was crowned, Tech was a member of the Southwest Conference and Homecoming queens from every school in the conference were invited to the Cotton Bowl, which was played between the conference champion and a team outside the conference.

The Cotton Bowl was played between the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Georgia Bulldogs that

season, and she said when she rode out onto the field something interesting happened.

“The bulldogs were red and black, too, so when I came out onto the stadium in my little antique car,” Pickering said, laughing, “all of the Georgia fans thought I was their candidate and so I got huge cheers. It was funny.”

Because two of her children, as well as her parents, graduated from Tech, Pickering said the university is a family tradition and she still attends every football game.

She said she is excited about football coach Kliff Kingsbury’s leadership and the Red Raiders’ 5-0 record.

“I am so excited for the whole staff,” Pickering said. “I talked to a woman this morning — her son is on the team — and he just talked about how the attitude is so positive, they’re having so much fun, and I think that is just a spread towards the fans and, you know, everybody’s just having a

better time these days. I’m proud of them.”

Pickering said when she attended football games in 1975 it was customary for students to wear their best fall clothes to the games.

Homecoming was slightly different than it is today, she said, with events, such as a meal hosted before the game in the municipal auditorium, which had sections divided by graduation year where alumni could find and reconnect with old classmates.

Pickering said there was no doubting her choice to attend Tech and she sees being selected Homecoming queen as just one more way to be connected to the school she believes is unlike any other.

“You know, just the buildup of each game, I just don’t think it’s matched anywhere,” she said. “I’m so proud of Tech and the strides that it’s made, and to be a part of it this long is really, really fun.” ➤➤cpoindexter@dailytoreador.com

2 rabbis, 8 others jailed in divorce sting TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Two orthodox rabbis and eight other men were arrested in an FBI sting in New Jersey and New York on charges they plotted to kidnap and torture a man to force him to grant a religious divorce.

Rabbis Mendel Epstein and Martin Wolmark charged Jewish women and their families thousands of dollars to obtain religious divorces, known as “gets,” from unwilling husbands, the FBI said.

“They didn’t do it out of religious conviction,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Gribko told a judge Thursday in a federal court hearing for the men. “They did it for money.”

Marc Agnifilo, a lawyer for Wolmark, said it’s possibly a case where religious law collides with federal statutes, where the crimes they’re accused of can be punished by life in prison.

“It’s a very complex case. The government says it’s all about money, but I don’t think that’s quite right,”

Agnifilo said after the hearing, calling coercion and even violence to get husbands to grant religious divorces “an old tradition.”

The rabbis and the 10 other men were arrested as a result of an undercover operation that began in August when two FBI agents, one posing as a woman trying to get a divorce, contacted the rabbis. According to an FBI complaint, Epstein spoke about forcing compliance through “tough guys” who use electric cattle prods and even place plastic bags over the heads of husbands.

The FBI said the price was more than $50,000 and a prosecutor said at Thursday’s hearing that the organization involved in the alleged plot had been involved in up to 20 kidnappings over the years.

No pleas were entered Thursday and lawyers for some of the defendants sought to minimize their clients’ roles in an effort to get them freed on bail or put on home confinement.

Magistrate Douglas Arpert ordered all 10 held in federal custody at least until hearings next week.

The investigation took place in Ocean and Middlesex counties in New Jersey and Rockland County in New York, and ended with arrests overnight Wednesday.

Four of the rabbis’ associates were described as enforcers, or “tough guys,” as Epstein called the men who helped coerce reluctant husbands.

The undercover agents, including a man posing as the woman’s brother, met with Epstein at his Ocean County home in August, during which the rabbi spoke about “kidnapping, beating and torturing husbands in order to force a divorce,” the complaint said.

“Basically what we are going to be doing is kidnapping a guy for a couple of hours and beating him up and torturing him and then getting him to give the get,” Epstein is quoted as saying during the conversation, which was videotaped.

Techsan Memorial honors lost students, staff, faculty, alumni

TEXAS TECH WOMEN'S Chorale conductor Carolyn Cruse conducts the singers during the opening ceremony of the TECHsan Memorial which was hosted at Memorial Circle on Thursday.

By NIKKI CULVER Staff Writer

Not all Homecoming events are cheerful. A memorial service honoring 204 members of Texas Tech’s family who died in the last year took place Thursday night at Memorial Circle.

Attendees arrived to hear the Tech Carillon Bells, played by Thomas Hughes, and families of the dead were seated in the middle of the crowd.

“We are having this event to remember the members of the Red Raider family who are no longer with us,” Tech President M. Duane Nellis said. “Perhaps the greatest accolade we can honor is that each of them made a difference in the understanding and the quality of life for us all.”

Those honored at the ceremony included 17 students, six faculty members, 39 staff members and 142 alumni.

The Tech Woman’s Chorale, under the direction of Carolyn Cruse and Barb Lamont, performed “Elegy,” “For All the Saints,” “Abide with Me,” “The Matador Song,” a second rendi-

tion of “Elegy” and “Threnody for 2013” at the event.

“This is a ceremony where we celebrate the life of someone from our family,” Chancellor Kent Hance said. “Texas Tech is a family. The reason we have this each year is because our students, our staff, our faculty, our alumni mean so much to us. I hope today that we can celebrate the lives of those that have gone on. We celebrate the face that they were Red Raiders and this is a close-knit family and we are here to honor them.”

Luke Cotton, Student Government Association president, read the names of dead students; Aliza Wong, Faculty Senate president, read faculty names; Christine Self, Staff Senate president, named the staff; and Bill Dean, alumni association vice president and CEO, acknowledged and spoke on behalf of the alumni.

“It is amazing to me, and I’m sure it is to Chancellor Hance, how many of these individuals I knew, worked with and were friends with,” Dean said. “They came onto campus and made their mark and then graduated

and then made another mark. I wish for them that their souls rest in eternal peace.”

As Cotton read the names of the students who died in the last year, a red or black balloon with a name listed was released for each student. Balloons were released by family members who were able to attend the memorial, or by SGA or Tech Activities Board members in case the families of dead students were unable to attend.

At the commencement of the event, Hughes played 23 tolls on the bells to commemorate the founding of Tech in 1923.

Family members exited through a sabre arch organized by the sabre flight drill team.

“It should be in their memory that we take full advantage of the opportunities placed before us and at this university and in our lives,” Cotton said. “Today, we come together to mourn and to celebrate their lives and also to say thank you to the students as well as their families and friends for the time that we did have together and for their contributions to Texas Tech.” ➤➤nculver@dailytoreador.com

Alice Munro wins Nobel literature prize STOCKHOLM (AP) — If there were a literary award bigger than the Nobel Prize, Alice Munro would probably win that, too.

“Among writers, her name is spoken in hushed tones,” fellow Canadian author Margaret Atwood once wrote. “She’s the kind of writer about whom it is often said — no matter how well known she becomes — that she ought to be better known.”

Munro, 82, was awarded literature’s highest honor Thursday, saluted by the Nobel committee as a thorough but forgiving chronicler of the human spirit, and her selection marks a number of breakthroughs.

She is the first winner of the $1.2 million prize to be fully identified with Canada. Saul Bellow won in 1976, but though he was born

in Canada, he moved to the U.S. as a boy and is more closely associated with Chicago.

Munro is also the rare author to win for short stories.

“When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said in a statement issued by her publisher, Alfred A. Knopf. She said she hopes the Nobel “fosters further interest in all Canadian writers” and “brings further recognition to the short story form.”

Her books having sold more than 1 million copies in the U.S. alone, she has long been an international ambassador for the short story, proof that the narrative arc and depth of characterization expected from a novel can be realized in just 30 to 40 pages.

Critics and peers have praised her in every way a writer can be praised: the precision of her language; the perfection of detail; the surprise and logic of her storytelling; the graceful, seamless shifts of moods; the intimacy with every shade of human behavior.

Her stories are usually set in Ontario, her home province. Among her best-known is “The Bear Came Over the Mountain,” about a woman who begins losing her memory and agrees with her husband that she should be put in a nursing home. Canadian actress-director Sarah Polley adapted the story into the 2006 film “Away from Her,” starring Julie Christie.

The narrative begins in a relatively tender, traditional mood. But we soon learn that the husband has been unfaithful in the past and didn’t always regret it — “What he felt was mainly a gigantic increase in wellbeing.” The wife, meanwhile, has fallen for a man at the nursing home.

In the story “Dimensions,” Munro introduces a chambermaid named Doree, who needs to take three buses for a visit to a “facility” outside Clinton, Ontario. Munro explains that Doree

is happy in her work, that she has been told she is “young and decent looking” and that her picture was once in the newspaper, in the days when her spiked blonde hair was wavy and brown.

“Dimensions” begins in close-up, then steadily pulls back. With every page, the story darkens, and terrifies.

The “facility” is an institution where Doree’s husband is held. Doree’s picture was in the paper because her husband murdered their children.

“In all the time since what had happened, any thought of the children had been something to get rid of, pull out immediately like a knife in the throat,” Munro writes.

Munro won a National Book Critics Circle prize in 1998 for “The Love of a Good Woman” and was a finalist in 2001 for “Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage.”

She is also a three-time winner of the Governor General’s prize, Canada’s highest literary honor.

Any further awards are likely to honorary. She told Canada’s National Post in June that she was “probably not going to write anymore.”

Her most recent collection, “Dear Life,” came out in 2012.

Starting in the 1960s, when she was first published, she has often contrasted her youth in Wingham, a conservative town west of Toronto, and her life after the social upheaval of the ‘60s. Munro herself lived out the fears, and celebrated the liberation, of the educated housewives in Betty Friedan’s “The Feminine Mystique.”

In an interview with The Associated Press in 2003, she described the ‘60s as “wonderful.”

“Because, having been born in 1931, I was a little old, but not too old, and women like me after a couple of years were wearing miniskirts and prancing around,” she said.

The daughter of a fox farmer and a teacher, she was born Alice Anne Laidlaw, a literary person in a nonliterary town, concealing her ambition like a forbidden passion.

Tamale festival attracts crowd

By LIANA SOLIS Staff Writer

Homecoming week is here, and daily events all over campus are drawing in students and them pumped them up for the game.

Cru hosted its 13th annual Tamale Festival on Thursday at Urbanovsky Park in honor of Homecoming week.

Olivia Itschner, a Cru staff member, said the Tamale Festival always has been free for Texas Tech students.

“Pedro’s donates tamales to us every year for this, so we give them out free to all the students,” she said.

“It’s a good way for us to help serve the community.”

Itschner said the festival is hosted during Homecoming week to help tie in to the other festivities.

“It’s just really good timing to put it during Homecoming week because a lot more people will hear about it,” she said. “Students always come out to this event every year when they hear about us giving out free food.”

Kyle Partin, a freshman mechanical engineering major from Lost Alamos, N.M., helped with the festival organization and said it attracted close to 400 students last year.

“We knew we would have about the same outcome this year because it has been so popular in the past,” he said. “We planned to feed anywhere from 400 to 500 people and got about 140 dozen tamales donated to us.”

Along with tamales, the event also had an assortment of chips, dips, drinks and more.

“We just took a trip to Wal-Mart and spent about $220 to get the rest of the food,” Partin said. “We wanted to make sure we had plenty for all the students who showed up.”

Partin said the event took about four weeks to plan.

“We met every single week for four weeks to go through everything,” Partin said. “We had to make sure we knew what we were buying, how much of everything we would need and all that.”

The organization also had giveaways throughout the day and brought flying discs and volleyballs for students to use at their leisure.

“Besides being an event where people can get free food, we always wanted it to be a good way for all the students to relax a little,” Partin said.

“Having something like this halfway through the week is a nice stress relief to lighten everyone’s load a little, and give them a chance to eat some free food and chill.”

He said the staff had a good time hosting the event.

“We all had a good time organizing it, so I can imagine all the people who came out had a good time as well,” Partin said. “It’s always a good way to bring people together.”

Cru also invited any students who came to the festival to its weekly Bible studies on and off campus.

“We have weekly Bible studies in all the residence halls and then a big worship service on Thursday nights at (Kent R.) Hance Chapel,” Partin said.

According to the Tech Activities Board Homecoming schedule, the next events for Homecoming week will be the Rowdy Raider Rally at noon today in the Student Union Building North Plaza and the Pep Rally and Bonfire at 9 p.m. today at Urbanovsky Park.

“It seems like all the events for Homecoming week are packed with students this year, not just ours,” Itschner said. “They are every year so I’m not surprised.” ➤➤lsolis@dailytoreador.com

Kanye West, Jimmy Kimmel make nice

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kanye West and Jimmy Kimmel quickly dispelled the idea their socalled rap feud was a publicity stunt during a sometimes uncomfortable appearance on the comedian’s television show.

Speculation that the rapper’s anger over a “Jimmy Kimmel Live” parody skit that mocked him was staged was immediate after West lashed out at Kimmel in late September. But both said that their beef was authentic during a 30-minute interview on Wednesday night’s show in which West discussed a range of topics including his artistry, paparazzi, family, fashion and the idea of celebrity.

Kimmel said early in the interview that he knows West personally and always found him friendly, but that he seems misunderstood.

“I don’t know if you know this, but a lot of people think you’re a jerk,” Kimmel said after West called himself a genius. West was objecting to the idea that he’s “just a celebrity.”

“When you said you think you’re a genius, I think that upsets people,” Kimmel said. “But the truth is a lot of people think they’re geniuses, but nobody says it because it’s weird to say it. But it is most certainly more honest to say, ‘I am a genius.’”

“I’m totally weird and totally honest and I’m totally inappropriate sometimes, and the thing is for me not to say I’m not a genius I’d be lying to you and to myself.”

The fight broke out the day after Kimmel hired a child actor to portray

West in a recreation of an interview West gave on BBC Radio 1 in which he discussed the limitations he’s faced as his fame has grown, among many other topics.

West told Kimmel he’s often upset with his portrayal in the media but usually keeps his reaction to himself. This time, though, since he knew Kimmel, he felt he had a license to reach out by phone and discuss his disapproval man to man.

“That elevates sometimes,” West said. “Jimmy does his thing, I do my thing, and at some point egos can flare up, and we kind of took it back to high school.”

Kimmel showed the highlights from West’s resulting Twitter rant — “You should have seen the second set of tweets,” West joked — and admitted he’d just seen a few snippets of the BBC interview before approving the skit and didn’t realize how personal it was.

“I really felt bad about all this stuff, I did,” Kimmel said after West walked on stage. West responded: “Mmm huh,” but smiled widely after watching a portion of the skit.

In a sometimes stream-of-consciousness delivery, West talked passionately about discrimination based on class, protecting his music publishing from covetous drug dealers, false humility and his thoughts on and experience with high fashion. He also ranted against the Hollywood Walk of Fame organization for denying his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, a star and reflected on his recent negative interactions with paparazzi.

Tech soccer returns to conference play

By DAWIT HAILE Staff Writer

Texas Tech soccer returns to Big 12 Conference play this weekend after facing a nonconference opponent, Arkansas Pine-Bluff, Sunday for senior day.

Despite dropping one spot in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America rankings, Tech played well last weekend to earn two shutout victories.

The Red Raiders first secured a 2-0 win Friday against the Horned Frogs. TCU was dealt with in a quick fashion when freshman forward Maddy Crabtree and sophomore midfielder Alli Murphy scored goals in the first half.

Tech soundly defeated UAPB with an 8-0 performance Sunday.

Seven players recorded goals, including senior forward Jessica Fuston with her first goal back from injury.

Sophomore midfielder Caity Heap said the rankings are nice, but the team is just focused with how it plays on the field.

Now, Tech has Oklahoma and Baylor on the docket.

The weekend presents tough games, but to the Red Raiders improving is the No. 1 concern no matter the outcome, Heap said.

She is confident the team can win both, though.

“We have a lot of depth on the team,” she said. “People coming off the bench, they either keep the level the way it is on the field or raise the level. That gives us a huge advantage.”

Tech coach Tom Stone said if the Red Raiders make strides where they need to, the team will have a chance to win both games.

The game against UAPB turned into a plus for Tech, he

said. Key players were able to rest and the remaining players gained more game time to improve.

Senior goalkeeper Victoria Esson said no letdown should take place for the Red Raiders entering the weekend because they treat every game as though it were a conference game.

The team is focused just on Oklahoma right now, she said.

“Of course, we have a hangover from last year, a little bit after (Baylor) beat us and we’re looking forward to them,” she said, “but we’re really just trying to focus on Friday first.”

Oklahoma (3-8-1) lost its first two conference games against Baylor and Oklahoma State. The Red Raiders will try not to become the Sooners’ first conference win this season.

Looking ahead to Baylor cannot happen, Stone said.

“We have never had a blowout game with OU, and they have played us to the wire,” he said.

The Sooners have not been terrible. They struggle to capitalize on the chances they get. The Sooners and their opponents have totaled the same amount of shots with 127, according to the Sooners athletic website. Only 12 of those shots became goals for the Sooners, while their opponents were able to score 23 goals on the Sooner defense.

Oklahoma has not been overmatched so far on offense, but its defense has not held up its end of the bargain. The Oklahoma defense allowed 61 shots to come redshirt freshman goalkeeper Kassidle Stade’s way. Twenty of opponents’ 23 goals have sailed past her, according to the website, so Tech could have solid opportunities to get on the board.

TEXAS TECH FORWARD Alli Murphy heads a ball toward the goal during the first half of the match against Texas Christian on Oct. 4 at John Walker Soccer Complex.

The game against Baylor is early in conference play, but it might decide regular season champions later in the season.

Even though the Red Raiders do not look ahead, the UAPB game did prepare them to play early Sunday games, and the experience will help Sunday against Baylor, Esson said.

Baylor already is not as good as it was last season in terms of overall record. Currently the Bears’ record is 8-2-2, according to Baylor’s athletics website while

the team from last season finished 19-1-5.

One week into conference play the Bears received a loss to West Virginia. The season before they went unbeaten with a record of 5-0-3.

However, this Baylor team is still a team with the ability to come out with a regular season championship. Its only two losses were to the hands of West Virginia, last year’s Big 12 regular season champions, and No. 22 Brigham Young, a former No. 1 seed in last

year’s NCAA Division I women’s soccer tournament.

Baylor has the numbers to back that ability up, too. The Bears have let loose nearly twice as many shots as opposing teams, with Baylor recording 210 shots compared to the 115 shots from opponents.

The Bears are solid on both sides of the ball. Fifty-three percent of their shots are on goal, which has led to 26 goals on the season, while the Bears only have let opposing teams have 37 percent of their shots on goal, which has

kept opponents to seven goals.

The Tech defense needs to minimize and block shots, pass well, not make mistakes and prevent goals to have success when facing Oklahoma and Baylor, Esson said.

“This is our chance to prove to people we are really going for it this time,” Esson said.

Tech has a chance to make its statement this weekend when it faces Oklahoma at 7 p.m. Friday in Norman, Okla., and Baylor at 1 p.m Sunday in Waco. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com

Nevada judge says she’s working on Simpson ruling LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Nevada judge who will decide whether O.J. Simpson gets a new trial in a botched confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers indicated Thursday that she’s still working on her ruling.

In her first public comment since hearings nearly five months ago, Clark County District Judge Linda Marie Bell issued a statement

through a court spokeswoman saying the case is complicated, the file is thick, and she is addressing 22 claims raised by prosecutors and Simpson’s lawyers.

“To adequately address each claim, a thorough review of the record is necessary, including the record of the 13-day trial and the weeklong evidentiary hearing,” the statement said.

It didn’t cite a date for a ruling.

Prosecutor H. Leon Simon and Simpson attorneys Patricia Palm, Ozzie Fumo and Tom Pitaro, who handled the May 13-17 hearings before Bell, said the judge had a reputation for thoroughness and they were willing to be patient.

The losing side is expected to appeal Bell’s ruling to the Nevada Supreme Court.

“Of course it’s been difficult to wait, but we understand she has a daunting task in front of her,” Simpson’s lawyers told The Associated Press in a joint statement. “We appreciate her thoroughness and understand she had a significant amount of legal research to do after the hearing.”

Palm said she spoke with Simpson in prison about two weeks ago and characterized him as “understandably anxious” about a decision.

Simpson, now 66, is serving nine to 33 years at Lovelock Correctional Center in northern Nevada following his conviction on kidnapping, armed robbery and other felony charges in what he maintained was an attempt to retrieve memorabilia and personal items from two sports collectibles dealers in a Las Vegas casino hotel room.

Nevada parole commissioners on July 31 approved Simpson’s parole on some of his 12 convictions, but the ruling has no effect on Judge Bell’s decision. The parole ruling didn’t free Simpson because he still faces at least four more years for other sentences.

If Simpson is granted a new trial, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson’s office would have to decide whether to file for a retrial or offer a plea deal that might free Simpson with credit for the time he already has served.

Wolfson declined immediate comment Thursday.

Wolfson’s wife, former Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass, presided over Simpson’s 2008 trial and sentencing.

Simpson’s current lawyers argue that his trial was tainted by the notoriety of his 1995 murder trial and acquittal in Los Angeles in the deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.

Red Raiders can become bowl eligible with win

By EVERETT CORDER Staff Writer

The last time Iowa State (1-3, 0-1) came to Lubbock, Texas Tech (5-0, 2-0) had just defeated No. 3 Oklahoma on the road, moving them up to No. 20, the same ranking they have for this week’s game against the Cyclones.

That game on Oct. 29, 2011 is one most Red Raider fans would like to forget, ending 41-7 in favor of the Cyclones.

Tech junior tight end Jace Amaro said the way he remembers that game, nobody on the team was prepared for it. The team had a blast beating Oklahoma, then came back and played a terrible game, he said.

“I just think we didn’t understand how to win that year,” Amaro said. “Probably the most fun game I’ve ever been a part of being at OU and Norman, and then next week was just disastrous. I specifically remember that no one was ready to play that game. In warm-ups, everyone was dropping balls, just easy, pat and go drills. I just know that that’s not going to happen this time.”

The Cyclones won the most recent game between the teams, beating the Red Raiders 24-13.

The matchup last year in Ames, Iowa was a breakout game for Amaro, who is Tech’s leading receiver this season. Amaro

caught four passes for 48 yards in the 2012 game according to the Tech athletics website.

Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said while watching the Tech game last weekend, the announcers pointed out Amaro wasn’t getting the ball, he let the coaches know and immediately started having passes thrown to him.

“That’s a guy that obviously wants the ball and wants to create, and that’s what he’s doing for them,” Rhoads said. “Defenders bounce off of him, he gets himself open, he catches the ball very well, and he’s a very valuable weapon to their offense.”

The Cyclones are coming into Lubbock a little more than a week removed from a last minute, one-point loss to the Texas Longhorns.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said when watching Iowa State on film, the thing that stands out the most to him is the discipline they play with, and his team is going to have to avoid mistakes to win.

“They don’t give up anything, and the effort jumps out at you.

You have to match their intensity,” Kingsbury said. “They’re going to show up ready to go, and they’re not going to make mistakes. You have to play a clean ballgame to have a chance against them.”

With a win this Saturday, Tech will improve to 6-0 on the season,

Beasley scored all of his points late in the third quarter to help the Heat take an 89-79 lead to the final period.

The Pistons got close in the final minute and Josh Harrellson almost tied the game with a long heave that rimmed out with .6 seconds left.

making them bowl eligible.

Kingsbury said the thing exciting him most about being bowl eligible is the extra practices he gets with the eam after the regular season ends, but he is planning on getting more than six wins this season.

“Yeah, like I said, I expected to win every game,” Kingsbury said. “So the big plus to that is knowing you had those 15 extra practices with your younger guys.

I think that’s what all coaches look forward to. Being bowl eligible means in December, you get to practice with those young guys and get them more reps.”

The game will start at 11 a.m. Saturday, at Jones AT&T stadium. It’s the second of three morning starts in a row for the Red Raiders.

Kingsbury said he doesn’t really think having another morning start is helpful or hurtful to his team, but he also doesn’t think kickoff time should ever be used as an excuse.

“I thought our energy was good to start the game (last week). We just had some things go against us. But I thought they were ready to play,” Kingsbury said. “So I’m sure with that crowd this week, they’ll be fired up and ready to go at 11. That can never be an excuse. Football is football.

I never thought it was that big of a deal.”

Tight security promised at Chicago Marathon Questions swirl about Brown’s future at Texas CHICAGO (AP) — Fences are going up, streets are closing down and trim athletes are flying in from around the world ahead of Sunday’s Chicago Marathon. But behind the scenes, police are preparing for what will be the most closely monitored race — the largest marathon in the U.S. since the Boston bombings — in the city’s history.

Police have promised stepped-up security as 45,000 runners get cheered on by more than a million spectators along a 26.2-mile route through the city’s neighborhoods. Officials are mum on details, but more than a thousand uniformed and undercover officers, along with far more bombsniffing dogs than in years past, are expected to mix with the crowd.

Inside a command post, officers will be monitoring images coming in from helicopters and some of

the city’s 22,000 cameras, the most extensive surveillance system in the nation.

“We are going to have eyes on the ground on just about every foot of the marathon route,” Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said.

Officers will be making more random searches of spectators’ bags than they have in the past. For the first time, unattended bags will simply get discarded after they get inspected by bomb-sniffing dogs and are dubbed safe, McCarthy said. Friends and relatives planning to find runners in a designated meeting area will be subject to searches as well.

Runners also will see changes.

They will only be able to use clear plastic bags issued by race organizers to store their belongings near the finish line. They also must pick up their own packets, with race bibs and

tracking devices, instead of recruiting friends or family.

The days of spectators jumping in to run alongside friends or relatives also could be over. Police said they have never arrested anyone for jumping into the race before, but they warn that arrests are possible this year for anyone who doesn’t leave the course when ordered to do so. And the finish line will only be open to spectators with tickets.

That, says runner Stacy Corbett, is a bummer.

“For slower runners like myself, you need the cheering and the pull of the crowd the last two-tenths of a mile, so not allowing spectators to be allowed at the finish is really disappointing,” said the 41-year-old Corbett, who was a spectator at the Boston Marathon and was about a block from the second blast.

AUSTIN (AP) — Mack Brown says he doesn’t read it, doesn’t listen to it and does his best to ignore it.

He wants no part of any discussion about whether his job is on the line when the Texas Longhorns play rival Oklahoma in Dallas on Saturday at the Cotton Bowl.

Any talk in Austin about the biggest game on the Longhorns’ schedule inevitably comes around to whether its “win or else” for Brown after 16 seasons as the Texas coach.

“It doesn’t affect me at all,” Brown said this week as Texas (3-2, 2-0 Big 12) prepared for the No. 12 Sooners (5-0, 2-0).

“There’s no giving up, no quitting in this coaching staff,” Brown said.

“None of that is a factor ... None of that matters. Winning matters.”

A coach whose 153 wins rank second only Darrell Royal (167) in

school history, who in 2005 delivered the program’s first undisputed national championship in 36 years and played for another in 2009, is fighting for his job. Exactly how does it come to this?

There are several reasons.

Start with a 25-18 record over the last four seasons. Add a 6-9 record against Oklahoma that includes two straight blowout losses and four of the most humiliating defeats in a rivalry that dates to 1900.

Top it off with Brown’s own promises in August that a team with 19 returning starters was ready to return to national prominence. Two losses in the first three games riled up Texas fans who were already feeling restless.

Brown himself hit the panic button after a 40-21 loss at BYU where Texas gave up a school-record 550 yards rushing. The day after the loss,

he fired defensive coordinator Manny Diaz. Brown insisted it wasn’t a move of desperation, but fans wondered why he hadn’t fired Diaz after the 2012 season when Texas had one of the worst defenses in school history.

Now Brown goes into Saturday missing two of his best players to injury. Linebacker Jordan Hicks is out for the season after tearing an Achilles tendon and quarterback David Ash will miss the game because of recurring symptoms of a concussion.

Senior quarterback Case McCoy, who is 2-1 as a starter this season, will start against Oklahoma.

McCoy has known Brown since his older brother and former Texas quarterback Colt McCoy was being recruited by the Longhorns 10 years ago. He said the players are aware of the questions about Brown’s future, but defended his coach.
