The Texas Tech provost search committee hosted a series of town hall meetings with staff, faculty and students Tuesday in the Matador Room of the Student Union Building.

Four meetings were hosted over the course of the day at 8 a.m., 9 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m.

“This forum was designed to field input from our students, faculty and staff about what qualities they would like to see in our new provost,” Lori Ann Ortiz-Guerrero, executive administrative associate for the Office

of the President, said. “We want to do our best to make sure we’re representing the characteristics of our university in a way that pleases everyone.”

The committee, chaired by David Perlmutter, dean of the College of Media & Communication, answered questions from students and representatives from the Student Government Association. The topics discussed ranged from continuing Tech’s various areas of research to ensuring professors can give practical industry insight that help students in their future careers.

undreds of Texas Tech students gathered inside the United Supermarkets Arena Tuesday night to attend the annual Homecoming event called S.O. Sing.

S.O. Sing, which is short for Student Organization Sing, is a competition hosted during the week of Homecoming.

This competition is open to all student organizations at Tech including Greek sororities and fraternities.

At S.O. Sing, the organizations performed dancing and singing

routines on the court of the arena.

“I loved the whole event,” Kirstin Hood, a sophomore in the prenursing track from Pampa, said.

“It was so awesome to experience everything and to see everyone perform, and I really enjoyed it all as a whole.”

Many of the organizations that performed showcased their groups’ personal creativity through dancing and singing themes.

Some of the themes chosen for performances were Star Wars, space aliens, Harry Potter, Scooby-Doo and different superhero themes.

Katharine Hayhoe speaks about climate change Tuesday at the Fox and Hound Tavern. Hayhoe was selected to moderate the discussion, which consisted about climate science and the election.

By MICHAEL CANTU News Editor

Twenty-six days are left until the 2016 presidential election, and registered voters are trying to figure out which candidate is the best one to get behind.

More specifically, the idea behind the panel discussion at 6 p.m. at The Fox and Hound sports tavern at 4210 82nd St. on Tuesday led

by Katharine Hayhoe, associate professor of political science and co-director of the Climate Science

Center, was the 2016 general election and the candidates’ stances on climate change.

One graph Hayhoe presented to the crowd was on the question of whether people stand behind their political parties’ views on climate change.

“Forty-one percent of Republicans disagree with their party’s position, so this is a really interesting topic,” Hayhoe said. “And this panel here is to dig into that issue for a little bit.”

hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. Tuesday to display renovations to its building.

Considered a nonprofit daycare program, Lil’ Precious Steps at 918 Zenith Ave. has been a fixture for daycare in the east side of Lubbock since its inception, Charlotte McCarty, director of the daycare, said.

Attending the event were Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, community leader T.J. Patterson and early childhood program director Stephanie Shine.

“I’ve had the privilege of knowing Charlotte (McCarty) for a lot of years, and we worked at a place together, and by working there she shared her dream of owning a daycare and providing services within our community,” Cory Powell, director of Mentor Tech and emcee for the event, said. “And I thought, ‘OK, that sounds good,’ and I thought, ‘You got a lot of patience because working with children is a gift, it’s a calling.’”

Eighteen years ago, McCarty and her godfather Joe McWilliams began to build an old firehouse in the community daycare facility,

Shine said. The old Fire Station 5 was renovated by McCarty and McWilliams and opened to the public soon after.

With the help of Tech’s Early Head Start program, it underwent another round of renovations to fix a few bumps and bruises around the building, Shine said.

“But our partnership also means working together to train staff and offer educational programs to families,” Shine said.

The renewal of the building and the overall objective of the facility has given east Lubbock residents a wider range of education, Patterson said. A focus on children is necessary to gain community involvement.

“We must continue to encourage (the children).

If we do that they’ll climb that mountain. They just sang ‘Jesus Loves Them,’” Patterson said. “Start them out young. They even said a pledge to our flag — a lot of things they will know; a lot of things they will learn — but we must encourage them.”

With the renovations, there is a new beginning for the students at the facility, who range in age from in-

for success, both in and out of the classroom, Westbrook said, and a new provost should be academically oriented while still fitting in to the friendly environment that gives Tech its charm.

“The student body exemplifies striving for honor through their achievements,” Alex DeRossi, external vice president of SGA, said. “I think our new provost should really reflect our school motto ‘Strive for Honor.’”

The culture of academic success should be acknowledged and focused on intently by the new member of the administration, DeRossi said. If the new provost wishes to ensure academic achievement, highlighting student accomplishment should be a focal point of his job.

“Tech is making great strides and constantly accomplishing new things,” Witt Westbrook, internal vice president of SGA, said.

“Even though it’s such a large university, there’s still a very inclusive community feel. There’s really no better place to be if a welcoming community experience matters to you.”

Communication between the student body and the Office of the Provost is a key component of developing a solid relationship between the students and the administration, Armstrong said.

Involved in student affairs should also be an essential trait of the new provost.

“I’d like to see added concentration on undergraduate research opportunities,” Truman Thompson, a freshman chemical engineering major from Longview, said.

“Mostly, I want a provost who honestly represents the voice of the students. In my opinion, that’s the most crucial aspect of their job.”

Dakota pipeline work resumes after protest ST. ANTHONY, N.D. (AP) — Construction on the four-state Dakota Access pipeline resumed Tuesday on private land in North Dakota that’s near a camp where thousands of protesters supporting tribal rights have gathered for months.

In turn, protesters said they’re discussing nonviolent opposition measures, including chaining themselves to equipment. And nine people were arrested Tuesday attempting to shut down pipelines in other states as a show of solidarity with the Dakota Access protesters.

Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners resumed

digging trenches and laying pipe, Morton County Sheriff ’s Office spokesman Rob Keller said, a move that comes in light of Sunday’s federal appeals court ruling that allowed construction to resume within 20 miles of Lake Oahe. That Missouri River reservoir is the water supply for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s reservation.

“We reiterate our commitment to protect cultural resources, the environment and public safety,” the company said in a statement earlier Tuesday.

The $3.8 billion, 1,200-mile pipeline from North Dakota to Illinois is otherwise largely complete.

Legionella bacteria detected at four American Airlines hangars in Texas DALLAS (AP) — American Airlines says bacteria that cause Legionnaires’ disease were detected in water at maintenance hangars in Texas after one worker became sick.

In a letter to workers, American said an expert it hired last month found “varying levels” of Legionella bacteria in the water supply for four maintenance hangars at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

American said it will install filters on all showers and faucets and provide bottled water to workers at

the hangars.

In the memo, American said the bacteria could be coming from the outside water supply. The company told workers that Legionella bacteria are often found in municipal water supplies and cooling towers and their presence in the hangars “does not mean anyone will become ill.”

The contaminated water was first reported by KXAS-TV, which said that one worker showed symptoms of Legionnaires’ disease, which can include fever, muscle aches, vom-

iting and diarrhea.

About 5,000 cases of Legionnaires’ are reported each year in the United States, and about one of every 10 victims die from it, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Prevention and Control and Prevention.

American said Tuesday that the ill employee has returned to work.

Airline spokesman Matt Miller said that the company also was working with the airport and local health authorities to come up with a permanent plan to provide safe water.

COLUMN

Student recommends band Modest Mouse I have decided to write a column that does nothing except celebrate the greatest rock band in the history of the universe. That band, obviously, is Modest Mouse, of Olympia, Washington.

A groovy mix of indie folk/rock, Modest Mouse has been the anthem to my life since I was 18 years old. Their twangy riffs and the characteristic shouts splice the soulful singing of frontman Isaac Brock.

I remember fondly the first time I heard the band.

I was cruising with my bud in his mom’s minivan on the way to grab a hoagie.

The vibe was that of deep introspection only night drives can bring.

The album “The Moon and Antarctica” was in the disc set and the penultimate track “Life like Weeds” was on. I can still remember the amazing minor scale guitar melody switching in staccato intervals to power chords in perfect complement to my emo-esque mood.

Something clicked, and I have been obsessed since.

If one was to start listening to the band, I would recommend you start with its third major album, “The Moon & Antarctica.”

This album possesses a larger sound that is much

more digestible than its earlier raw records such as “This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About.”

With lyrics discussing everything from Arctic travel to man-eating dogs, “The Moon & Antarctica” reminds me almost of Pink Floyd. This band is unique and plays the music it wants to play.

If you want a few examples of why I espouse praise for Modest Mouse, a few choice tracks would probably be “Dramamine,” “The Stars Are Projectors,” “Life like Weeds,” “Ohio,” “Teeth like God’s Shoeshines” and “Other People’s Lives.” These are among my own personal favorites, but I could count off 20 more that are worth your time.

The beauty of this group is the diversity in its music. It has a little of everything. It shares certain characteristics of punk and grunge, but it really revolutionized alternative and independent rock.

Following the paths of bands like Built to Spill

and Pixies, Modest Mouse essentially created its own genre of music. When people ask me what it sounds like, I just respond by saying it sounds like itself.

Then again, most of my friends don’t really care or even share my obsession with the band. Actually I only know maybe three nutty fans of the band.

When people ask me what it sounds like, I just respond by saying it sounds like itself.

And no, I have not seen the band in person if you are wondering. The problem with bands once they get insanely popular, like Modest Mouse did 8 years before I even heard of them, is it becomes obscenely expensive to see them. I am yet to catch them live, but — God willing — I will be able to within the next five years.

A nyway, I l ove t hi s band a lot. It got me through all those rough high school days. So, I recommend you give it a shot. opinions@dailytoreador.com

f you didn’t notice, there is now a tiny little of picture of me accompanying all my columns. This tiny, rectangular, photo of me is now your face-to-the-writing definition of me.

As you read my column you’ll look at my words, look back at my face, then look back at the words again and think, “That’s the face of the guy who wrote this.”

You may not have noticed this, however, because I haven’t written a column for The Daily Toreador in three weeks.

Well, it hasn’t been easy handling law school and free time.

It takes a lot of effort for me to keep up with reading, studying and trying to understand concepts I’ve never even considered before.

I love what I am doing and learning. I enjoy law school, but I would be lying if I didn’t discuss the difficulties and frustrations I sometimes feel.

There is less free time to do things I enjoy, like writing. Some concepts take me a great amount of time to fully comprehend.

There are also looming education policies that weigh down on all first year law students at Texas Tech. Our grades are distributed based on our performances in relation to the other students in our classes.

Even if we all do well, only 10 percent of us can receive A’s. Your classmates’ slightly higher score on an exam can be the difference between a B and a C for you.

Every one of my firstyear classmates is exceptional, intelligent and deserving of success. The average grade for our class, however, will reflect as a C+.

It is something no one talks about openly. I attempt to ignore, but it is always in the back of my head. This is what most law students seem to do.

However, I have heard some openly reject or accept it.

We all work hard, study and attempt to make time for ourselves. There are some of us who leave for home right after classes.

There are also some of us

who work in the library late into the evening.

First-year law students are told by administrators and upper-level students it is important to manage our health and well-being in spite of all of this.

It is a funny thing. You never truly understand the importance of health and well-being until you realize you’ve ignored it.

This is something I experienced to a lesser degree as an undergraduate.

It was always the weeks before midterms or finals.

I would get stressed, place myself in the library the entire week or two before finals, finish essays and dissertations and study for multiple choice exams well into the night.

Every one of my first-year classmates is exceptional, intelligent and deserving of success. The average grade for our class, however, will reflect as a C+.

It would not be until the last days of finals when exhaustion set in that I’d realize I was running on three Red Bulls, a Kit Kat bar and four hours of sleep.

I once missed celebrating Christmas because my immune system had been weakened by finals and left me bedridden.

Instead of being spent at my family’s Christmas party, my Christmas dinner senior year of college was spent in my jammies, under a warm blanket, watching Netflix.

To the law student or undergraduate who is studying for a quiz or a midterm or just reading for the next day of class, this idea of making time for health and well-being is just something easy to ignore sometimes until it affects him.

Sometimes, I study late

into the night, but, if I don’t eat well enough, I lose focus. If I don’t get enough sleep, I feel like a living, breathing, walking bag of garbage.

I do this all the time without realizing.

It wasn’t until I began feeling bad repeatedly that I realized I needed to manage my time to fit rest and recuperation in. It is as simple as eating a meal three times a day, exercising a bit and getting a full night’s rest.

The difficult part is figuring out how to make the time for these things.

Well-being is different for everyone. For me, wellbeing is finding time to write and read something other than my casebook.

I find time to set my fantasy football line for the week. If I don’t watch at least one football game a week, I lose my mind.

I call a friend back in San Antonio or go for a run at the high school track near my apartment.

Recently for a quick fix, I Photoshopped pictures of my dog Sinclair in world tourist destinations. Sometimes I give him a funny hat. I really just try to do at least a small thing I enjoy to make sure I don’t get lost in course work.

It took me three weeks to realize how to manage all of these things and three weeks to get the photo of my big head back in The Daily Toreador.

It is still a work in progress. I still stay up until 1 a.m. sometimes, working to understand things. I still feel the pressures of my grades.

But, it has gotten less difficult and frustrating to manage.

If you feel burnt out from school or classes, take a break and do something you enjoy.

Don’t work yourself into exhaustion.

This is my recommendation as a law student.

However, with that being said, if you’re worried about doing well, be sure to take my recommendation cautiously.

Statistically, there is a good chance they are the recommendations of a C+ student. ravila@dailytoreador.com

Lubbock Symphony Orchestra shines in West Texas

L

ast Saturday I had the pleasure of hearing the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven’s “Eroica” in the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center.

It was my very first symphony concert, and I loved every minute of it.

I realize you might have many reasons for not being interested in classical music. You might think classical music concerts are very elite events that can only be enjoyed by rich, classy and sophisticated individuals. That’s simply not true.

If classical music just isn’t your thing or if you’ve never really listened to it before, I encourage you to check out the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra. It put on a great show last Saturday, and its tickets cost students a mere $5.

Hannah Deeter is a freshman journalism major from Wheelock.

Because I was not entirely familiar with orchestra concerts, I assumed a $5 ticket meant I could wear casual clothing. So, I sported a cute pair of denim jeans, some glamorous Converse sneakers and a super-chic Star Wars shirt that I’m pretty sure was meant to be a pajama-top.

I soon realized my fancy attire did not quite suit the sophisticated culture of the concert hall as I was greeted, much to my amusement, with stares of disapproval.

The women looked stunning in their long dresses, shawls and heels. The men looked splendid in their

suits, ties and shiny black shoes. I looked like a homeless girl who wandered in off the streets.

Now, for those of you who — like myself — aren’t so fancy, please don’t let the conventional image of the concert hall keep you from seeing the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra in action.

I sat in the back with a group of like-minded students, and we had a great time. Although orchestra concerts are usually considered formal affairs, you don’t have to dress like a fashionista to enjoy classical music.

The music itself was absolutely spectacular.

The stage was filled with a variety of instruments played by talented and dedicated musicians.

I saw violins, cellos, basses, French horns, a harp, a couple of different

I found myself smiling in awe as every instrument in the orchestra came to life and ended the concert with this epic finale.

The concert began with Beethoven’s “Creatures of Prometheus,” followed by Copland’s “Suite from Appalachian Spring,” and ended with a lovely performance of Beethoven’s “Eroica.”

“Eroica” consists of four unique movements that flow seamlessly together to create an emotional and captivating symphony. In fact, critics often call this the most perfect symphony ever written.

The movements are rather long, but they’re worth sitting through.

My favorite movement was the fourth. I found myself smiling in awe as every instrument in the orchestra came to life and ended the concert with this epic finale.

WORK OF ART

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 There is a scientific consensus that displays the notion that since the world began burning coal in the late 1800s, carbon dioxide levels around the world have increased drastically, Hayhoe said.

A recent Pew research poll suggests people are most divided on the science behind climate change. However, when it comes to solutions to fix the problem many people are in agreement, she said.

“Personally as a climate scientist, I’m totally fine with that. If we fix this problem and say we’re fixing it for different reasons, I don’t care. It’s fixed,” Hayhoe said.

Before the questions were asked to the four panelists, they were asked to reveal who they were going to vote for as of that day. One was for a write-in ballot of Elizabeth Warren of the Democratic Party, another for a write-in for John Kasich of the Republican Party and two for Hillary Clinton of the Democratic Party.

The first question revolved around the candidates’ stances on what role the government should play when it comes to climate change.

“I really think the government’s role is to try and address the problems of society and especially to coordinate solutions to problems,” Daniel Epstein, Worldwide eLearning course developer for political science, said.

Because a lot of people do not necessarily look out for the problems that affect the masses, they may not be completely on board with resolutions that combat issues like climate change, Epstein said.

Therefore, the government should step up and take control of the situation.

This does not necessarily mean the federal government has to take complete control of everything. It should do something like taking a public opinion poll to find out how to resolve problems efficiently, he said.

Many people have the idea that Democrats believe there is a need for a lot of government action when it comes to any type of societal ruling, while the Republicans set aside the

role of the government for specific reasons, Robert Forbis, assistant professor of political science, said.

“The distinction really boils down to ‘What role will the government play?’” Forbis said.

The second question regarded Sunday night’s debate between Clinton and Donald Trump and the reason there were no questions asked about climate change.

Brian Shreck, post-doctoral research scholar for the department of political science at Tech, said it could be because of the amount of sensationalism involved with this campaign season.

“Another reason, I think, is that young people make up too small of a portion of the election,” Shreck said. “Because they don’t vote in the same numbers as an individual who is older.”

The issue of climate change is contentious among the younger generations, primarily Millennials, he said. So, when older people elect candidates in primaries, they may not have the same agenda as younger individuals.

On the other hand, there is the possibility this election could sway a bit more to the younger generation, Epstein said. Recently, he saw a huge outpouring of energy from people on the Tech campus when different organizations aided students in voter registration.

“I think we’ll see that there are big changes coming, from the Republican Party and what it would be like in the future,” Epstein said, “and the Democratic Party.

Literally, we’ll be playing around to the point where the future will be important.”

The next panel question made the panelists give a question they would ask the Democratic and Republican candidates on climate change.

The question from Forbis pondered on the thought of what the actual power of the president would be.

“We all understand how politics work. We all understand that senators are basically our representative,” Forbis said.

A president’s plan can be almost worthless, depending on who controls the House of Representatives and the Senate, he said.

“How do you plan to deal with problems facing lowincome families,” Wright said.

It is important to educate people on the problems the world faces today, Shreck said.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Exposing the nation’s sharp political divisions as Election Day nears, supporters of Republican Donald Trump repeatedly interrupted President Barack Obama on Tuesday as he urged North Carolina Democrats to take advantage of early voting and cast their presidential ballots for Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Obama also delivered a sharp indictment of Republicans who continue to support Trump’s bid despite hearing him on a recently released video recording from 2005 talking in vulgar terms about making unwanted sexual advances toward women.

“The fact that now you’ve got people saying, ‘Well, we strongly disapprove. We really disagree.

We find those comments disgusting. But we’re still endorsing him. We still think he should be president.’ That doesn’t make sense to me,” Obama told

several thousand people at a raucous outdoor rally.

“Now I hear then some people saying, ‘Well, I’m a Christian so I’m all about forgiveness because nobody’s perfect,’” Obama said. “Well, that is true. I am certainly not perfect ... and I, too, believe in forgiveness and redemption, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to elect the person president.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan said he was “sickened” by Trump’s comments on the recording, and he rescinded an invitation for Trump to join him at a weekend rally in his Wisconsin congressional district. But Ryan has not pulled his endorsement of Trump, as some other Republicans have. Still, he has told fellow House Republicans he would not defend Trump or campaign with him and would focus on protecting the House GOP majority.

Obama said some Republicans were trying to have it both ways.

“You can’t repeatedly denounce what is said by someone and then say, ‘But I’m still going to endorse him to be the most powerful person on the planet’ and put them in charge,” he said.

Several minutes after Obama started speaking, a young man and a woman who appeared to be Trump supporters moved toward the stage and revealed Tshirts that said “Bill Clinton Rapist.” They were quickly escorted out by security.

Immediately before Sunday’s presidential debate in St. Louis, Trump appeared with three women who have accused former President Bill Clinton of committing sexual crimes against them. Clinton was never charged in those cases. The women later attended the debate.

Obama joked that the protesters were “auditioning for a reality show.”

Trump is the former host of the NBC reality show “The Apprentice.”

COLLEGE OF THEATRE & DANCE

‘Heathers: The Musical’ makes debut at Tech

By ALYSSA ACOSTA Staff Writer

The lights shine on the Charles E. Maedgen Jr. Theatre stage as the cast and crew of “Heathers: The Musical” rehearse for the opening of the musical at 7 p.m. Thursday.

The musical, based on the film written by Daniel Waters, is about an intelligent girl who teams up with a dark sociopath to kill a snobby clique who is destroying her reputation.

“It has so many different colors and moods and things happening,” Jonath an M ar ks, p r o fe s s o r at the College of Visual & Performing Arts and director of the musical, said. “It is about high school and happy high school years.”

‘Heathers’ touches on some risky topics such as bulimia, suicide and mass murder, Marks said. The

“I really enjoy to see how creative people could get,” Hood said. “I really enjoyed seeing how much time and how much effort they put into their costumes and routines.”

musical walks a thin line between fun and dark.

The biggest challenge was deciding the tone of the show, Marks said. The process of putting the musical together began last spring and auditions took place the second day of school. Of the 110 students who auditioned, 28 were casted in the musical.

“Usually, I end up with a high number of graduate students,” he said. “This production, it is a low number of graduate students and a high number of undergraduates, including a lot of freshmen.”

Katrina Wilson, a sophomore musical theater major from Lubbock, plays the lead role of Veronica in the musical. Actors audition for multiple shows at a time.

As a musical theater major, Wilson said she desired a role in this musical and was hoping for the lead.

“I was hoping for Heathers,” Wilson said. “We had

callbacks and it was super fun. We learned some music, danced some dances and read from the script, then waited for the cast list.”

The cast and crew rehearse for four hours, six times a week, Marks said.

It has been a growing and learning experience, Wilson said, and even when Wilson is not on the stage rehearsing, she said she enjoys performing and spending time with the cast and crew.

Zachery Ell, a junior English major from Forney, plays the other lead role of J.D., the sociopath who helps Veronica plot the deaths of her enemies. Ell said balancing his character ’s light and dark sides proved challenging.

“It has been eye-opening to the world of dark and light theater and putting them together,” Ell said.

Ell said he is excited to see how the audience

of the Dancers with Soul dance team, said she liked performing with her team.

Being on Dancers with Soul is like being in a group with one’s closest friends, Lias said, and performing at S.O. Sing made it feel like a tight-knit family to her even more than it did before.

After the performances, the Homecoming court, which includes members of all different student organizations, was dwindled down to 10 men and 10 women.

All of the nominees went

onto the floor to give the students a chance to see who their Homecoming royalty could be.

“My girlfriend likes cheer a lot, so we decided to come here because she was so excited to see the dancing and cheering,” Alex Rinderknecht, a freshman architecture major from Dallas, said.

Dancers with Soul won the student organization portion of the competition, and Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Phi Epsilon won the Greek life portion.

Clinton brings in Gore as closer on climate change MIAMI (AP) — Al Gore laid out the environmental stakes of the presidential race in stark terms during a campaign stop for Hillary Clinton Tuesday, arguing that electing her opponent would lead to “climate catastrophe.”

Vice president during Clinton’s husband’s eight years in the White House and a longtime environmental activist, Gore served as a closer for Clinton on climate change as the Democratic candidate seeks to appeal to activists and to young people, who consider this a key issue.

“The choice in this election is extremely clear. Hillary Clinton will make solving the climate crisis a top national priority,” Gore said, before issuing a strong warning about Republican Donald

Trump. “Her opponent, based on the ideas that he has presented, would take us toward a climate catastrophe.”

Gore’s history with Florida, the ultimate swing state, lent extra weight to his appeal to get out and vote. Gore won the popular vote in the 2000 presidential election, but lost the presidency to George W. Bush after a lengthy Florida recount and a shocking Supreme Court decision.

“Your vote really, really, really counts,” he told the crowd, which responded by chanting, “You won!”

Clinton, meanwhile, vigorously emphasized her plans to develop more clean energy, reduce fossil fuel production and build more weather-resistant infrastructure. She also continued

her attacks on Trump, who has called climate change a “hoax” and said he would renegotiate the Paris Climate Agreement, an international treaty designed to curb the rise in global temperatures.

“We cannot risk putting a climate denier in the White House,” Clinton said.

During the primary contest against progressive Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Clinton offered clean energy plans and came out against the Keystone XL Pipeline, which is opposed by environmentalists.

“Climate change is one of the issues where the difference between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is night and day,” said Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon.

“For many of the core supporters we are seeking to

galvanize in the remaining weeks of the campaign, including young voters, communicating the boldness of her plan is important.”

At the rally was Miami Dade College student Adam Demayo, 24.

“Every beach I go to is polluted,” said Demayo, a former Sanders supporter who said he is reluctantly voting for Clinton. “My children are going to, like, die. I want to dedicate my life to saving the planet.”

The world is on pace for the hottest year on record, breaking marks set in 2015, 2014 and 2010. It is about 1.8 degrees warmer than a century ago. Scientists have also connected man-made climate change to deadly heat waves, droughts and flood-inducing downpours.

Tech faces top-20 team first time this season

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

T h e We s t V i r g i n i a Mountaineers are undefeated but have yet to play in an away game. This Saturday, the Mountaineers will compete in an away game against Texas Tech.

So far this season, the Mountaineers have scored 116 points in four games and have allowed only 80 points, according to ESPN. Currently, West Virginia is ranked No. 20 in the AP Top-25 poll. Against Tech, it is 3-2 overall, with the first game played in the 1938 season. It was followed by a long break until the Mountaineers and Red Raiders played each other in 2012.

West Virginia currently has a two-game win streak over Tech, but each game was within a 10-point or less margin.

“Their skill is definitely the strength of their offense,” senior defensive back Justis Nelson said. “They got big receivers, big running backs, fast receivers and fast running backs. So, it’s going to be a test for us, and we’re just working every single day, working on

technique, knowing where we’re supposed to be, and it’s going to be a challenge.”

Three defensive players said West Virginia’s offense runs at a faster pace than Kansas State’s. West Virginia has three running backs on the team who have broken 100 yards rushing for the season.

The running game has scored six touchdowns in total, and the passing game has scored seven.

Some of the longest receptions for the Mountaineers’ wide receivers were also touchdowns.

West Virginia redshirt junior Shelton Gibson’s longest reception was a 57-yard touchdown, and redshirt junior Ka’Raun White’s longest reception was a 53-yard touchdown.

Gibson has 458 receiving yards, and White has 194 receiving yards. Nelson said defensive coordinator David Gibbs has been more focused on deep pass coverage. “(The big thing is) keeping everything in front of us,” Nelson said. “They have got some fast guys, some big guys. They like to take the top off.”

In terms of practice, Nelson said the Red Raiders are taking it one day at a time after the recent road loss to Kansas State. In that game,

the defense allowed 335 total yards, with 105 of those yards being from the pass and 231 of those yards being from the run game.

The defense also allowed the Kansas State offense to score 44 points in the game.

The highest number of points the defense has allowed in a single game this season was against Arizona State, when the Sun Devils scored 68 points to win the game. At home this season, the most points allowed by the defense in a game so far has been 45 points.

The most points the West Virginia offense has scored in a single game this season is 38 points, and that was against Youngstown State.

“I feel like we’re getting in the right direction,” sophomore linebacker Kolin Hill said. “Just practicing better and playing better as a unit.”

Senior linebacker Malik Jenkins said he was fazed by the fast-paced offense because the defense practices against a fast-paced offense regularly.

The defense practices everyday against an offense that ranks highest in points scored in the Big 12 Conference, with 276 points scored in five games.

“They’re going to try and

They’re a fast paced offense like ours, so it’s going to be a challenge but we practice against a fast paced offense everyday so I don’t really see it being a problem. We just have to focus and not have as many

busts as we did last week.”

The Red Raider defense did not create any turnovers against Kansas State and created one interception against Kansas. The defense ranks No. 116 in the nation in points allowed, according to ESPN. “It’s not frustrating. Honestly, I think we’ve done a better job at tackling more

than anything, and we just have to rally to the ball,” sophomore defensive back Jah’Shawn Johnson said.

“Someone wraps him up and the next man has to punch or strip, but it’s not been frustrating. They’ll come, and when they do come, they’ll start rolling in bunches.” @JackDensmoreDT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Maya Moore had 21 points and 12 rebounds to help the Minnesota Lynx even the WNBA Finals at one game apiece with a 79-60 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks in Game 2 on Tuesday night.

Sylvia Fowles had 13 points and 15 boards and Minnesota held Los Angeles to 32.9 percent shooting to bounce back from a last-second loss in Game 1.

Seimone Augustus scored 14 points and Minnesota dominated on the glass, 4632, to pull away.

Nneka Ogwumike had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Sparks, who head back home for the next two games in the best-of-five series. Candace Parker was quiet with six points on 3-for-12 shooting.

the first time in his career he has been added to the watchlist, according to the release. This is the 11th time a Red Raider has been nominated for the award over the course of 12 seasons. Giles is also ranked seventh nationally in receiving touchdowns.

His current season stats include 35 receptions for 614 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. This is the first time since Michael Crabtree,

a two-time winner of the Biletnikoff award, that a Red Raider has received this many yards in five games, according to the release.

Ten semifinalists will be announced on Nov. 14, and three finalists will be declared on Nov. 22. The award will be announced on Dec. 8 during the Home Depot College Football Awards Show on ESPN from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. @JackDensmoreDT

Rose suspected ‘rape’ setup soon after act LOS ANGELES (AP) — The night after Derrick Rose and two of his friends had sex with his ex-girlfriend, he had a hunch she was going to claim they raped her, the NBA star testified Tuesday.

Rose said he became suspicious of the woman when she texted later the same day of the alleged early morning attack in August 2013 to say how inebriated she had been and to describe

burns she claimed she got on her hands from a fire pit outside his Beverly Hills house. Rose said he believed she was sober and never witnessed any burns the night before.

champions in the league since the Sparks repeated in 2002. A win in this series would also give Minnesota its fourth championship, which would tie the Lynx with the Houston Comets for most in league history.

Last year the Lynx lost Game 1 at Target Center to the Indiana Fever, but rebounded to win that series in five games. But they know they face an even more capable challenger this year with the star-studded Sparks.

Neither team led by more than five points during an air-tight Game 1 that Los Angeles won at the buzzer on a jumper from Alana Beard. The first 16 minutes of Game 2 were just as competitive, but Moore and the Lynx seized control in the final four minutes of the second quarter.

Tech seeks win against Oklahoma

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

Morale remains high for the Texas Tech volleyball team despite an eightgame losing streak. Coming off a 3-0 loss to Kansas on the road, the Red Raiders face off against the Oklahoma Sooners at home with first serve scheduled at 6 p.m. today in the United Supermarkets Arena.

Though he would like to see a turning point, Tech coach Tony Graystone said the team’s emphasis is on maintaining calm when Tech’s opponents begin to score consecutive points.

“When things are under control in our side, when our ball control is there, then we’re able to side out and score points,” Graystone said. “That’s usually what’s been, what’s held us back.”

At a 10-10 overall record and a 0-5 in conference, the rebuilding process for the Red Raiders continues to stand at the starting phase.

Although the results do not reflect the team’s forward process, Graystone said the season so far for the Red

(From Left) Texas Tech sophomore Katy Keenan and senior Marguerite Grubb attempt to block the spike by West Virginia. Senior Lauren Douglass waits behind as back up. Tech leads the all-time series against Oklahoma, 36-34.

Raiders follows a similar route to the first seasons he coached at Texas A&M Corpus Christi and West Texas A&M. “I’m not surprised by

any of it, and we’re just going to tackle these things one at a time,” Graystone said. “There’s a process I have to go through and a big learning curve to go

through, and we just have to be consistent with the message and be patient with them.”

Last season, the Red Raiders opened the Big 12 Confer-

ence with a five-set win over the Sooners. Sophomore setter Kyndal Cowan knows the Sooners personally.

Before joining the Red Raiders, Cowan spent her

freshman season at Oklahoma and played three sets in the season, thus making the match more interesting for Cowan.

“It’s definitely going to be weird, but I’m super excited,” Cowan said.

“I think it’s going to be battle, and I think it’s going to be like a really great game.”

At 11-7, Oklahoma comes into its match against the Red Raiders on a two-game winning streak.

A m o n g O k l a h o m a ’s standouts, senior middle blocker Micaela Spann ranks first in the Big 12 in hitting percentage.

Sophomore outside hitter Sarah Redding said the team has scouted Oklahoma and knows what to look out for, but to leave with a win, the team needs to look within itself.

“We are focusing on ourselves,” Redding said.

“We’re really looking into ourselves and seeing what we can do to make our side better and to better us and make sure we’re consistent and that we can put the ball away.” @DGaytanDT

Tech hosts first morning game of season

By ARIANA HERNANDEZ Staff Writer

This weekend’s Homecoming game against the West Virginia Mountaineers starts at an earlier time than the past five games. The Red Raiders have only seen starting times at 6 p.m. or later this season. Saturday’s game is set to kickoff at 11 a.m.

Texas Tech and West Virginia have had consecutive kickoffs at 11 a.m.

Since 2013, the Red Raiders and the Mountaineers have not faced off at a different time then 11 a.m., according to Tech Athletics.

Senior linebacker Malik Jenkins said he is excited for the early start.

“It’s going to be a really good game, an early game, 11 o’clock, Homecoming, and it’s my birthday too,” Jenkins said.

“So I’m going to be out there and ball out. I think everybody’s going to be ready for an early game and get out there and ball out. We’re ready.”

Sophomore defensive back Jah’Shawn Johnson said he thinks the time of the game should not hinder Tech’s performance on the field Saturday.

The players are in the athletics complex at various times throughout the day, Johnson said, and they are used to being up at an earlier time.

“We’ll get up, and we’ll get going, get our stretch, get some pre-game meals and come to the stadium and do our daily routine,” Jenkins said. “So, I don’t think it’ll be too bad.”

The earlier start time could be an advantage for Tech, Jenkins said.

The players respond to change well, Jenkins said, and they will be prepared once Saturday comes around.

“I just feel like it’s not going to be hot outside. Early game, we probably have an advantage, you know. Maybe we’ll catch them sleeping or something,” Jenkins said. “I think we all respond to adversity anyways, so I think everybody’s going to be ready to go come Saturday.”

Tuesday after practice, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said he thought that afternoon’s practice went well.

The Texas Tech student section points to the end zone to signal the Red Raiders’ first down during the first half of their game against Kansas on Sept. 29 at Jones AT&T Stadium. The Red Raiders have not defeated the Mountaineers since the 2013 season. portunity, top 20 team coming in here on Homecoming.

It’ll be a great atmosphere, nice weather, and the players seem excited.”

West Virginia’s offense is more similar to Tech’s than Kansas State’s, Jenkins said, and the Red Raiders will con-

tinue to practice on.

With the Homecoming atmosphere of this weekend and it being a home game, Jenkins said Tech will have an advantage over West Virginia because the Red Raiders have a home-field advantage.

“I think as a whole

team we just want to beat everybody, we just want to win,” Jenkins said. “And you know losing to West Virginia twice, I think we have a really good advantage over them, being at home. Just us having more fire and more mo-

tivation after losing last week, I think we have to pick it up, (because) nobody’s really seen how well we can play yet, and I think we’re going to try and bring out our full potential this Saturday.” @A_HernandezDT

Dodgers defeat Nats, 6-5 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton Kershaw was out of the game, his head down in the dugout, the Los Angeles bullpen faltering and the season slipping away.

Chase Utley plucked the Dodgers from the brink, singling home the tiebreaking run with two outs in the eighth inning.

Suddenly, Game 5 was on the horizon.

One more chance to pursue the club’s first World Series appearance in 28 years.

“There is no quit in this team,” closer Kenley Jansen said.

The Dodgers avoided elimination Tuesday with a 6-5 victory over the Washington Nationals that forced a deciding game in their NL playoff.

Jansen worked the ninth for a save, one day after giving up four late runs during Los Angeles’ loss in Game 3.

“I got out there and focused and fought,” he said.

The finale is Thursday in Washington, with 20-game winner Max Scherzer set to pitch for the Nationals.

“Man, this is going to be a heck of a ballgame,” he said.

“The effort from both sides over

the first four games has been incredible. Great pitching, great hitting, defense, everything.”

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he will use left-hander Rich Hill and rookie Julio Urias, but did not announce which one will start. Hill is expected to get the ball first.

“If anyone gives up on this team, they haven’t seen us play a whole lot this year,” Roberts said, “and it starts with what Clayton did — short rest and leaving it all out there. Everyone fed off that.”

Adrian Gonzalez hit a two-run homer for the Dodgers, who turned to Kershaw on three days’ rest to salvage their season.

The score was tied 5-all with two outs in the eighth when Andrew Toles got hit by a pitch from loser Blake Treinen. Ethier followed with a single to left and Utley singled to right, scoring Toles from second for a 6-5 lead.

Trailing 5-2 in the seventh, the Nats had runners on first and second against Kershaw with two outs. The crowd chanted Kershaw’s name as he and Bryce Harper battled through eight pitches before Harper drew a walk.
