Serving the Texas Tech University community since 1925

Texas Tech offers new PFP master’s Texas Tech has announced it is offering an executive master’s degree in Personal Financial Planning.

The purpose of this degree is to allow professionals to work to achieve a degree while still employed at full-time jobs, according to the release.

The program will begin in January, and applications are being accepted now. The course will last seven semesters, and the majority of the course will be online, according to the release.

“This program isn’t designed for students who are living in Lubbock or who have just graduated with a bachelor’s degree,” Heidi Toth, senior editor of the Office of Communications and Marketing, said, according to the release. “The Department of Personal Financial Planning has a traditional master’s programs for those students; they live here, go to classes, etc. The curriculum for the two programs is the same.”

She said the program is focused on helping professionals be able to find the program they want and to take advantage of it, even from a different state, according to the release.

Toth said, according to the release, the personal financial planning program will grow easily since the students in this program will not be on campus all of the time.

Pulsar discovered in Galaxy M82 The brightest pulsar ever recorded was discovered by accident in Galaxy M82.

According to a Tech news release, and the research was published in today’s edition of the journal, Nature.

Tom Maccarone, an associate professor of physics and co-author of the paper, suggested the method for determining what was making the ultra-luminous Xray source the scientists noticed in the M82 galaxy, according to the release.

“For years, scientists have believed the ultra-rare, ultra-luminous X-ray sources were caused by black holes eating other nearby stars,” he said, according to the release.

Pulsars are the burnt-out cores of exploded stars similar to black holes with smaller masses.

The discovery of the pulsar was made using NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array.

The pulsar was measured as equivalent to the energy output of 10 million suns, according to the release, but the pulsar has the mass of the sun in an area similar to the size of Pasadena, California. ➤➤jromero@dailytoreador.com

Lubbock County looking to implement emergency texting

By JUSTIN GONZALES Staff Writer

Across the United States, public-safety answering points are implementing methods to be able to support text-to-911 service, according to the Lubbock Emergency Communication District’s October quarterly newsletter.

In 2012, mobile users exchanged at least 2 trillion text messages and Michael Grossie, executive director of LECD, said LECD is working with Sprint and AT&T to make textto-911 available in Lubbock County.

“Four major carriers, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon and Sprint, all made an agreement with the National Emergency Number Association that they would make text-to-911 available by May of 2014,” he said.

Requests can be made with a specific wireless carrier, and the carrier then has up to six months to deploy text-to-911, he said.

According to the Federal Communications

Commission, 11 counties in Texas accept text-to-911, including Dallas, Decatur and Wichita.

The TTY method has also been implemented, according to the FCC. TTY is a system that has been in place for decades to help the hearing impaired communicate with others on audio phones, according to the FCC. The equipment is in place and should require little or no training for existing dispatchers, according to the LECD quarterly.

“Some issues we have come across in our tests are garbled messages. It (the text) does not resemble anything that we’ve sent,” he said.

Texas Tech implements new software for students Smith vs. White

The Texas Tech football team lost its fourth-straight game 37-34 to West Virginia in front of 58,502 fans at Jones AT&T Stadium on Saturday.

With the game tied and three seconds left, West Virginia sophomore kicker Josh Lambert kicked a 55-yard field goal as time expired. The field goal set a new career high for Lambert and a school record for the Mountaineers.

West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said this was a great win for his team on the road, but credited Tech for playing tough all game long.

“I think everybody was happy, was excited that I finally used a few timeouts and got our kicker in a position to make a school record 55-yarder,” he said. “Which we knew he could do, had confidence that he’d be able to do it, which got us the victory.”

Tech’s last score in the game came when freshman running back Justin Stockton broke free on a 69-yard touchdown run with 7:32 left in the game.

The Mountaineers would quickly respond with a touchdown pass from senior quarterback Clint Trickett to senior wide receiver Kevin White with less than six minutes left.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said his defense played well in the first half, but the entire team made too many mistakes in the second half and gave up a huge lead.

“Once again in the first half we had a chance to really separate ourselves. We missed some throws that were there and plays that were there and turned it over going in to really have a big lead,” Kingsbury said.

“Same thing, second half, I think we had 12 penalties in the second half, which that’s just the same stuff we’ve been doing.”

NBC Learn, an online collection of news footage covered by NBC, is now available for Texas Tech students to use.

The database encompasses several thousand videos on various historical events, dating back to the 1960s, Kathy Austin, assistant vice president for information technology at Tech, said.

All the footage will be available online at any time for students conducting research or planning a class presentation, she said.

The information is accurate and easily accessible, she said.

“Our provost has purchased the rights for all TTU faculty, staff and students to access their entire archive of historical documentation, historical whether you’re talking about this morning or material that dates back to the 60s,” Austin said.

“A couple of items have been transformed from media that are in the 50s, but most of the items really start populating back to the 60s.”

message with a colon or semicolon, that may cause the text message to become garbled. Grossie said another inherent problem is that text messages can be received out of sequence or there are significant time delays between the time a text message was sent and received, sometimes several minutes apart.

“I don’t want to put something out there that’s going to make things worse than it is now,” Grossie said.

LECD is trying to find a quality solution that will work for Lubbock County — it is just a slow process, Grossie said.

There is no priority on a text message, unlike a wireless phone or landline, he said.

Not all areas are covered

by wireless carriers, including the Texas Tech campus, he said.

The campus does not have a specific antenna sector that covers just the campus, in which text-to-911s sent from campus would be received by the Lubbock police department instead of Tech police department, Grossie said.

He said LECD sent a request June 1, and was among the first to do so and is still working on finding the correct solution.

“We need to be able to handle a text to 911, a voice call to 911 and a telecommunications device call to 911 equally, all at the same level.

Not one have degraded service over the other,” Grossie said.

The manufacturer that makes LECD’s 911 equipment is currently working on a solution, he said, but like all software, it may take days, weeks, months or years before a solution is found.

Women earn more doctoral degrees than men

By EMMA ZAMBRYCKI Staff Writer

The majority of doctoral degrees earned from institutions in the United States this past spring and summer were earned by women.

According to the American Enterprise Ideas website, an institute dedicated to providing information on economics and politics, the majority of women earned doctoral degrees in non-science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.

Becky Davidson, who serves as the

FAX: 806-742-2434

thesis and dissertation supervisor for the Texas Tech graduate school, said women seem less inclined to earn doctoral degrees in STEM fields because in most cases, these fields are not advertised or promoted for and to women. Fields such as engineering and technology are stigmatized with the idea that only men succeed in these fields.

“I think female students are becoming more empowered in their public school educations,” she said.

“I think I should be able to put in my body whatever I want,” Amare said. “It’s your body. I can’t tell you not to do something that is going to put your body at risk. As long as you know the risk and you know it’s bad for you.”

Staff Writer

The Lubbock District Attorney’s Office has been running a synthetic marijuana drug bust in Lubbock since June 2014.

In the past week, two smoke shops in Lubbock have been raided for carrying and selling synthetic marijuana, Todd Smith, chief investigator of the District Attorney’s Office, said.

Smoker’s Choice was raided with 639 packages on October 2 for the second time since June.

Smokin’ J’s was raided with nearly 600 packages on October 9, he said.

The D.A.’s office announced in June letters were sent out on June 6 to 53 businesses known for selling synthetic marijuana, according to the release. The letters were hand delivered to be sure the businesses knew about the new rules being enforced in the city.

Warriors Against Synthetic Pot, or WASP, is an organization that was founded in March created to protest the selling of synthetic marijuana, according to the organization’s website.

The goal of the organization is to prevent any forms of weed, including synthetic marijuana,

from being sold in Lubbock, according to the website.

The organization believes Lubbock citizens should work together to eliminate synthetic marijuana, according to the website. The group protests outside of multiple smoke shops in Lubbock.

Dane Hermann, a senior advertising major from Dallas, said he is against synthetic marijuana being distributed in Lubbock if it is severely dangerous. He said living in a college town and having these drugs around can affect Tech students.

“We are all still really young,” he said. “It would be bad if a student got involved with K2 and went into some type of shock or

Anna Lavis, a public administration graduate student from Arlington, said she found the NBC Learn archive, especially when used by a professor to liven up a class. Video can offer a new, stimulating learning experience in comparison to everyday lectures, Lavis said.

Lavis, who was included in a pilot group in order to test out the archive before Tech administration invested in the program, said she can see herself using the database in the future and that she feels it will make research and presentations more interesting.

Having access to video footage dating back forty years or so, she said, can help provide insight into the past, making research much more accurate.

These videos are accessible to students from their own personal computers, Austin said, they can search the archive through the Tech library database, or by going directly to the NBC Learn website. Students will need to login with their eraider username and password in order to access the archive, she said.

“My students love it,” Austin said. “I was showing it to them, and we got into some older clips and videos, and we learned a great deal.

They certainly weren’t alive to see a lot of this happen. They got to see and engage with the actual clips of these things that happened.” ➤➤ezambrycki@dailytoreador.com

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse website, synthetic marijuana is also known as K2, spice and has many other different names. It was created to have similar effects of smoking natural marijuana, but does not originally come from the plant. Since it is made with all chemicals, the effects are dangerous, according to the website.

These drugs can be harmful to an individual who takes it. Some of the effects from synthetic marijuana can include anxiety, seizures, hallucinations and an increased blood pressure, according to the website. ➤➤dcopeland@dailytoreador.com

Sleep deprivation can lead to stress, irritability and frustration in people, particularly younger people.

According to a study published in the Brain Research Bulletin, sleep deprived college students are more likely to appear negative and experience high levels of stress.

While most people view sleep deprivation as the loss of several hours of sleep, Eevin Akers, a graduate student of experimental applied c o g n i t i v e p s y c h o l o g y, s a i d the consequences of sleep deprivation can occur simply by losing one or two recommended hours of sleep.

Akers said sleep is more important then some may think, as it is responsible for the regulation of many of the body’s hormones, such as cortisol, a stress hormone, that is released when the body sends out an emergency signal due to lack of sleep.

“People who don’t get enough sleep are definitely not as happy as they could be,” he said. “You’re more likely to be agitated, you’re more likely to be irritable, you’re more likely

to be hungry, and attribute all those things to other people.

You’re more likely to interpret situations more negatively, which of course is affected by your mood.”

Chris Nance, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from Dallas, said on average, he sleeps about five hours a night, three hours less than the recommended eight or nine.

Nance said that even though he does not get very many hours of sleep, he thinks the sleep he does get is deep, undisturbed, and refreshing.

When he does experience a poor night’s sleep, Nance said he finds himself feeling aggravated and short-tempered the next day. Alternatively, when he manages to get a full night’s sleep, he said it improves the quality of his ability to do school work.

Andy Urbina, a freshman mechanical engineering major from Dallas, said he often feels tired and overworked because of a loss of two hours of recommended sleep every night.

Urbina said he finds himself feeling irritable when he gets a poor night’s sleep.

Without necessarily meaning to, he said, he finds himself shutting down and excluding

others.

“I get cranky, and people get on my nerves a lot, even with the simplest questions,” he said.

“I’ll be rude, even if I don’t mean to, it just comes out.”

Much of sleep’s benefits, and in the case of sleep deprivation, consequences, depend on the age of the individual, Akers said.

For example, babies, teenagers and college-age students, need more hours of sleep compared to adults and the elderly, therefore, sleep is more likely to play a role in their moods, she said.

College age students need about eight to nine hours of sleep in order to maintain optimal performance, Akers said.

Sleep can affect the performance of the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory, and when not at full functioning power, can affect a student’s ability to retain information from a lecture, she said.

“It also affects your prefrontal lobe functioning, which is responsible for logic and reasoning. You’re more likely to be upset because you can’t see the logic for what it is,” Akers said, “and you’re more likely to feel sad, and that starts from the second you wake up.” ➤➤ezambrycki@dailytoreador.com

Report shows habits of US college students

By ANTHONY ESTOLANO Staff Writer

The daily life of the average college student has slowly changed over time.

A recent report from Re:Fuel Agency, a marketing firm, analyzed what it means to be a college student in today’s era.

According to the report, its intended purpose is to offer a perspective on college student spending and habits to help marketers promote their products to these students.

“As a marketer, understanding and listening to the college consumer can be critical to the success of your brand,” according to the report. “While we gain brand exposure and establish preferences prior to college, it is during the college years that we first gain real experience as consumers, and where lifelong purchase patterns are ingrained.”

The report not only reveals

how marketers can use the information to promote their products, but also what it is like to be a college student today.

The agency divided the report into seven sections, which include a college student snapshot, college student spending, technology habits, advertising and media consumption, newspaper, brand loyalty and product purchasing behavior and social media and gaming.

According to the report, there are nearly 22 million college students, with 58 percent being female students. The college student snapshot also revealed there are 200,000 college students between the ages of 14 through 17.

Nearly $50 billion is spent on food by college students, followed by $31.6 billion spent on automotive, according to the report.

“These statistics sound pretty accurate as a college student myself,” Ernie Arguelles, a fresh-

man international business major from Rockwall, said. “$50 billion on food or $15 billion on technology sounds right considering the amount of college students there are in the nation, although I am surprised to see the nation has more females in college than males.”

From a business perspective, Arguelles said marketers should make good use of a report like the one the agency released.

He said the report helps provide a marketer with more info about college students and their habits.

“Along with the useful statistics for marketers, some of the statistics are just interesting to know,” he said.

The report displayed the top 5 ads that students find appealing.

For females, the top advertisement was upcoming movies, followed by health and beauty, fashion, video games and tech products. For males, the top ad was video games, followed by up-

coming movies, tech products, new products and services and cars and trucks.

“The ranking of these ads sounds accurate as a girl,” Valarie Rico, a sophomore marketing major from San Antonio, said.

“In a college town, there is not much to do sometimes, so everyone always wants to go out and have fun with their friends doing activities which include movies. The beauty products and fashion ads are also in my opinion very appealing and important to females.”

Rico said she thinks the ranking of video game ads as most appealing is accurate. According to the report, the number of students who have ever read or looked at the print edition of their college newspaper is 55 percent.

Out of the amount of students who did read the paper, 41 percent read the content weekly and 24 percent read the content every day, according to the report.

COLLEGE STUDENT SPENDING • Total amount of annual discretionary spending by college students in the U.S. - Food: $50 billion - Transportation: $31.6 billion - Clothing: $18.6 billion - Technology: $15.3 billion - Cell phones: $14 billion - Entertainment: $9.8 billion “It is very helpful being able to pick out a specific segment of the market that a company is trying to tap into, which this report provides,” Jonathan Medina, a junior Marketing major with sales concentration from Fort Worth, said. “Once you are able to do this, a marketer can begin advertising and selling their product in the appropriate segment, such as a company marketing an energy drink to

college students.”

While the report provides insight, Medina said some of the statistics seem overstated.

He said the report could be useful from a marketing perspective, although it does not fairly represent all college students in the nation.

The report surveyed 1,209 students between the ages 18-34 from March 3 to March 14, 2014. ➤➤aestolano@dailytoreador.com

Holly motorcycle returns to Lubbock NY trumpet player visits Texas Tech The Buddy Holly Center will soon receive the 1958 Ariel Cyclone motorcycle once owned by the late rock ‘n’ roll musician.

Although an official date has not yet been announced, the motorcycle will be exhibited to the public sometime this month, according to a Buddy Holly Center news release.

The motorcycle was sold in a “Remembering Waylon” auc-

Milder marijuana for novices sold in Colorado Film series, art school to show documentary DENVER (AP) — Recreational marijuana sellers are reaching out to novice cannabis users with a raft of edible products that impart a milder buzz and make it easy for inexperienced customers to find a dose they won’t regret taking.

In many ways, the marketing shift is the pot-industry equivalent of selling beer and wine alongside higher-alcohol options such as whiskey and vodka.

“No one buys a handle of Jim Beam and thinks they should drink all of that in one sitting,” said Tim Cullen, owner of two Denver-area marijuana dispensaries. “But people do want to eat an entire cookie, an entire piece of chocolate. So these products allow you to do that and not have a miserable experience.”

Nine months into Colorado’s recreational pot experiment, retailers have good reason to court new users. A market study released in July suggested 40 percent of customers in Denver-area recreational marijuana shops are tourists. That figure spikes to 90 percent in ski towns such as Aspen or Breckenridge. Tourists cannot shop in medical-marijuana dispensaries, so many of those customers may be buying legal weed for the first time.

New on the shelves in Colorado’s recreational pot shops is the “Rookie Cookie,” a marijuanainfused confection that contains 10 milligrams of marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient, THC. That’s a low enough dose that most adults wouldn’t be too impaired to drive a car, defined in Colorado as a blood level of five parts per billion of THC. Then there’s a new marijuanainfused soda that’s 15 times weaker

than the company’s best-known soda. The Dixie One watermelon cream soda contains 5 milligrams of THC — half of what the state considers a serving size — and is billed as “great for those who are new to THC or don’t like to share.”

The wave of lighter choices comes as the new industry tries to pivot away from products aimed at frequent, heavy pot users to newer customers who weren’t interested in the drug when it was illegal.

“For a long time, the medical market was a race to the strongest edibles. Now it’s a new market, and people want something that won’t get them so inebriated they’re not functional,” said Holden Sproul of the Growing Kitchen, which makes the “Rookie Cookie” and is phasing out some of its stronger offerings.

There’s no publicly available data on which products are selling. But interviews with dispensary owners and marijuana producers suggest the lighter products are booming.

“We still get people walking in here saying, ‘What’s the strongest thing?’ But more and more they’re asking about flavor, the experience, the whole nine yards,” Cullen said.

In Washington state, where sales of edibles are just beginning in recreational pot shops, some of the first licensed edible-makers are taking a similar approach.

The entire product line at Db3 Inc. in Seattle is based around the idea that consumers can control the effect they want — an idea based in part on market research that suggested people often had bad experiences because they over-consumed marijuana edibles.

Among the pro ducts Db3 hopes to get on retail shelves in the coming weeks are liquid drops that can be added to beverages in precise amounts.

“We recognize there are going to be a lot of nontraditional users coming into the market, or people who have used in the past a long time ago and who are just getting back into it,” said Patrick Devlin, one of the company’s founders.

There’s more than market share at stake. Marijuana-legalization activists want to tamp down stories about pot users who got sick after eating potent medical-grade cannabis, an experience so common it seems everyone in Denver knows someone who endured it.

The Texas Tech International Film Series will host a screening of filmmaker Lawrence Jordan’s “Moments of Illumination” documentary at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.

Jordan is visiting Tech as an artist in residence from Oct. 19 until Oct. 24, according to a Tech news release.

The screening is in partnership with the School of Art. The film looks at Jordan’s ac-

complishments, early work and his current projects, according to the release.

“IFS is very pleased to partner with our friends in the School of Art,” Robert Peaslee, an associate professor in the College of Media and Communication and the coordinator of the International Film Series, said in the release. “Jordan is one of the true giants of the avant-garde movement in the United States and his residency later this month

at Texas Tech is a magnificent opportunity to see his work and learn about his processes.”

After the screening of “Moments of Illumination,” Jordan’s short film “Our Lady of the Sphere” will be shown in 35mm form, according to the release.

A discussion will be hosted after the short film by Jorgelina Orfila, an associate professor in the School of Art, according to the release. ➤➤features@dailytoreador.com

Schools providing healthy foods helps fight childhood obesity Parents, not government, should decide what’s best for kids

“

more energy to spare when you consume grains, fruits, vegetables and proteins, a goal of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. Studies conducted reveal the impacts of healthy eating habits on physical and emotional aspects. Immediate health effects of obese children include high risk for cardiovascular disease, pre-diabetes, sleep apnea and a greater risk for joint and bone problems.

Obesity also leads to social and psychological problems including low self-esteem among overweight children. A study conducted by the Southwestern Medical Institute at the University of Te x a s s h o w s physical exercise improves mental health, such as lowering symptoms of depression.

Because of the critical role schools play in setting habits for children, I find it extremely beneficial to promote healthier eating habits at the earliest age possible.

If we can set nutritious standards at school, hopefully children will crave healthier foods at home.

Another critical aspect of the act initiates implementation of breakfast in all schools. Because of the act, more kids are eating a school breakfast, providing an important start to the school day. Recent studies reveal kids who eat breakfast “have a lower body mass index and have better concentration and more energy,” says Dr. Marcie Schneider, member of the AAP’s Committee on Nutrition.

Results of the act show health to be increasing among children

T

hroughout President Barack Obama’s tenure in office, we have heard about First Lady Michelle Obama’s initiatives to limit school meals to only include “healthy” food. While they may seem harmless, Michelle Obama’s actions represent yet another assault on our liberty from the White House.

The government has no right to legislate what people eat and drink, unless what they are consuming makes them a danger to others (such as alcohol). Furthermore, the federal government really has no business regulating schools in the first place.

I concede that childhood obesity is a rapidly growing concern, especially in today’s world where there seems to be an electronic device for everything. However, the solution to this problem is certainly not to hand the government any more of our liberties.

A key indicator of a free society is that people have the right to harm themselves, as long as they don’t harm others. Each person should be free to make his/her own choices about whether or not they wish to consume unhealthy food. Essentially, they should be free to choose whether or not it is

EDITORIAL BOARD

Because of the critical role schools play in setting habits for children, I find it extremely beneficial to promote healthier eating habits at the earliest age possible.

up to this point. Since being signed in December 2010, a news release from the USDA reports that school lunch revenue is on the incline, kids are eating roughly 20 percent more fruits and vegetables and 90 percent of schools are meeting the new standards.

Even though reports indicate 0.15 percent of schools dropped out from the program, a majority of American children are benefitting from variety of healthy food options, breakfast and an increase in student productivity. Although human rights and costs of initiating the program will continue to be opponents of the act, it is an important first step and will continue to benefit future generations as our youth will eventually assume roles of leadership in directing the U.S., making an impact on the entire world.

If the U.S. wants to continue being a global superpower, it would be important to fuel our future leaders with healthier eating habits. While the plan may have some flaws currently, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act is an important first step in establishing healthy lifestyles for our future generations.

worth the risk of ending up obese.

In the case of children, it should be up to the parents to decide what limits should be placed on their child’s eating habits.

Except in rare cases, parents will take their child’s best interest into account when making this decision.

Furthermore, the parents can influence their child in ways the school simply cannot, by forcing them to exercise or spend time away from technology. No matter how hard a school tries to micromanage its pupils, there is no way for it to ensure none of them end up obese.

On the other hand, every parent can have an impact on t h e i r c h i l d ’s eating and exercise habits.

They can instill healthy eating habits in their child in the home, and do the same with exercise.

Since parents are around their children far more than school personnel will ever be, it is clear the onus should be on them to instill healthy habits and discipline into their children. This is simply a matter of personal responsibility, which seems to be lacking in this day and age.

Furthermore, it’s not like the old school lunches consisted daily of a Big Mac and deep-fried ice cream cones. A little “junk” food (such as dessert with a meal) isn’t going to hurt anybody, assuming they exercise and eat healthy otherwise.

Given all of this, it is very strange that the White House is injecting itself into this conversation. But there is more here than meets the eye, namely federal control of schools.

Local schools should not be regulated by the federal government. According to the U.S. Department of Education website, the Constitution grants state and local governments the authority to educate K-12 level children.

Despite this, some school funding comes from the federal level, and this is how federal authorities justify their continuous meddling in curriculum and food choice, to name a few.

This funding should be phased out, with a federal tax decrease accordingly, to allow local districts and states control of their school system. Taking this proposition further, it would be most consistent with the principles of liberty to do away with public schools and instead entrust private schools with the education of our children.

“

Through competition among schools, parents would be able to select the best option for their child and prices would come down. Parents would be allowed to choose which curriculum (such as creationism vs. evolution) to have their children taught from.

Bad schools would quickly fail, as students would no longer be restricted to going to school in their “district,” and would switch to another school, or their parents could homeschool them.

This solution would also be cheaper for the states, who currently spend a great deal of money on education with diminishing returns. It would also create higher-paying jobs for educators across the country, as schools would compete financially for the best teachers in order to attract parents willing to pay higher tuition.

To further lighten the financial blow to parents, federal and local governments could offer tax deductions on the money spent by parents to educate their children.

It is also antithetical to the American system to allow the government at any level to regulate the education of our children. The founders were mortified that the government would attain absolute power over the people, and federal governmentrun education is a key mechanism by which this can occur. If children are taught essentially by the government, as opposed to by a disinterested party (which a good teacher should try to be) they will likely grow up more dependent on government. Let’s not pretend the White House is ignorant of this fact.

While this solution may sound highly unrealistic, and I admit that it is unlikely to gain much traction, there are a number of states (such as Louisiana) that have set forth propositions that increase accessibility to private schools and increase school choice for parents. This is definitely a step in the right direction.

While a discussion about school lunches may grab headlines, it’s what’s going on behind the scenes, and the motivations for these discussions, that should concern us.

In conclusion, the next time you hear Michelle Obama talking about making sure children eat their vegetables, you should instead take action to secure their freedom.

In the case of children, it should be up to the parents to decide what limits should be placed on their child’s eating habits.

“

A

ccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Roughly one – fifth of children below 20 are obese.” If America wants to continue to be a global leader, it would be wise to implement healthier eating standards in public schools.

On the forefront of the issue, First Lady Michelle Obama has been raising awareness and promoting healthier nutrition standards across America’s primary schools. Most notably, she has played a key role in passing Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. Since the act’s effective date, increasing physical education time and improving standards for snacks sold in school vending machines have “led to a 13 percent decline” in childhood obesity “among K-5 students in Mississippi,” as stated in a report from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

While some may argue the act and provisions deny the core American right of freedom, I don’t see much difference from denying kids from chewing gum in school or banning sales of tobacco and alcohol to minors. Plus, the act is promoting healthier lifestyles and America’s schools play a vital role in developing habits in children, including their eating patterns and physical activities.

You are what you eat. Every aspect of your life is influenced by the food you eat. Eating healthy allows your body to function at its most efficient state. Instead of running on sugar and fat, your body has

Students should see Greek peers equally A

s if the constant hate between Greeks and Geeds’ on campus was not already bad, recent issues involving Tech fraternities have left a plethora of opinions about our campus’ Greek life and its members.

For those of you unfamiliar with what a Geed is, you are probably one.

In other words, you are not a member of the Greek community. While the term Geed sounds negative, it is nothing more than a simple term to label a non-Greek.

Here is how I see the two.

Greeks and Geeds have not always seen eye to eye. The recent issue involving the Texas Tech chapter of Phi Delta Theta has left poor thoughts about the Greek life

Anthony Estolano on campus. While the actions of that fraternity were negative, not all fraternities are the same.

As a member of a fraternity, I would assure the community we are not all “men that want to rape women,” which I was recently told by a non-Greek.

In fact, men who are a part of fraternity are held up to high standards, including behavioral and scholastic expectations.

Unfortunately, the actions of some have ultimately left a negative idea of men in fraternities.

In comparison, non-Greeks are somewhat similar to those in fraternity or sorority. Regardless of the old secrets, traditions and different events hosted by Greeks, both are human.

I would suggest to those who are non-Greeks to consider every person who is a Greek or even what it would be like to be in a fraternity or sorority.

The life of a fraternity or sorority member constantly includes hosting charity events, serving the community, all while bonding with brothers or sisters and sharing a common goal. Of course, members of a fraternity and sorority pay a little bit more money to be a part of these organiza-

tions, but doesn’t this sound like the reason anyone joins an organization on campus?

Yes, some of these organizations carry a few bad and irresponsible people, but they should not all be seen the same.

A good way to see this constant debate is to turn to social media.

Like many college students, I spend a considerable amount of hours yakking on the anonymous social media app, Yik Yak. This app has allowed Greeks and non-Greeks to address their opinions about each other without a name attributed to it and they are not all positive.

For some Yakkers, their thoughts on Greeks range from they should

all be removed from campus to “the Greek Task Force should kill all Greeks on campus.”

In hopes of our Greek life not being removed from campus, I believe both Greeks and non-Greeks should start seeing eye-to-eye instead of bashing one another.

The constant arguing of which group of people is better is getting old.

While I do believe most fraternities and sororities are good, the Greek Task Force that has been created on campus is the first step in remodeling the bad reputation that Greek life currently has.

Most organizations have their flaws. Of course, that means some fraternities and sororities can do more than just partying and social-

Tears, cheers as gay couples get married in Vegas LAS VEGAS (AP) — Daniel Carroll and Dayvin Bartolome stood on the steps of the marriage license bureau in Las Vegas, researching where they might tie the knot after 14 years together.

They ran through the options and joked about whether an Elvis Presley or Celine Dion impersonator would be available to perform

the ceremony.

In the end, they settled on a location up the street whose quickie wedding offerings include drive-up, chapel and terrace ceremonies.

Less than three hours later, they held hands in front of a lighted gazebo at the Vegas Weddings chapel as the officiant declared, “I hereby pronounce you husband

and husband.”

Carroll and Bartolome were among the first gay couples to wed in Las Vegas on Thursday as samesex marriages arrived in the selfdescribed wedding capital of the world. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Nevada’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage on Tuesday.

About 10 same-sex couples were waiting in line at the Clark County clerk’s office as the announcement came shortly after 5 p.m. that gay marriage licenses would be issued, eliciting cheers and tears of joy from the crowd.

Officials said the county Marriage License Bureau issued 40 licenses to same-sex couples Thursday.

FAA, flight attendants square off over electronics WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation’s largest flight attendants union says it wants airline passengers to return to stowing cellphones and other electronics during takeoffs and landings, but the group’s arguments didn’t seem to fly Friday in court.

A lawyer for the union argued before a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit that aviation officials acted improperly last year in clearing passengers to use small electronics dur-

ing takeoffs and landings.

The union says the devices can distract passengers from safety announcements and become dangerous projectiles. The union also says that in letting passengers keep the devices out, the Federal Aviation Administration changed an agency regulation without steps required by law.

But the judges hearing the case suggested they won’t be prying portable electronics out

of passengers’ hands.

“Airlines have always had discretion on how to handle this,” Judge Harry T. Edwards told a lawyer for the union, the 60,000-member Association of Flight Attendants.

The FAA announced late last year that it was changing guidance that had for years resulted in passengers stowing cellphones, tablets, and music and video players during takeoffs and landings. Under new guidance, airlines can let passengers

use the devices during those times as long as the plane is properly protected from electronic interference and the airlines get the FAA’s approval. Cellphones still must be in airplane mode when in use.

The FAA says that since the announcement, it has cleared 31 airline operators to let passengers use small electronics on takeoffs and landings. Last year, those operators together carried 96 percent of U.S. commercial passengers.

Modiano wins Nobel for Spain euthanizes pet dog works about Nazi occupation of Ebola-infected woman Gallimard. “It came as a complete surprise, I just kept walking. It felt like it was happening to my double.”

He was at a loss when asked how he would celebrate his win.

“Nothing special. I really didn’t expect this,” he said, adding that he would dedicate the prize to his grandson, who is Swedish.

Academics said his appeal largely lies in the poetic nature of his texts, which doesn’t come across as well in translations, making him less well known in the English-speaking world.

The Swedish Academy said it gave him the 8 million-kronor ($1.1 million) prize for evoking “the most ungraspable human destinies” and uncovering the humanity of life under Nazi occupation.

PARIS (AP) — French novelist Patrick Modiano has devoted his career to exploring the traumas of the Nazi occupation of his country, including how it could strip people of their identities.

On Thursday, the 69-year-old Parisian’s steadfast efforts over the past 45 years earned him the 2014 Nobel Prize in literature.

In a sign of how effective his works have been, his 1968 “La Place de l’Etoile” was later hailed in Germany as a key post-Holocaust work.

Modiano was out for a walk on Paris’ Left Bank when he received word of his prize. “I was walking near the Luxembourg Gardens when my daughter called with the news,” Modiano said at a news conference at the offices of his French publisher

MADRID (AP) — The protesters, chanting “Assassins!” as they scuffled with police in front of a suburban Madrid apartment complex, made their demand clear: No matter how desperate officials might be to stop the spread of Ebola, an innocent pet must not be made a casualty.

By nightfall Wednesday, that campaign to save one family’s dog had turned in to a global outcry when the protest detonated online, generating hundreds of thousands of petition signatures and more social networking mentions than teen idol Justin Bieber.

In the end, though, it did no good — Spanish health officials announced the pet had been euthanized and its body incinerated.

The brief but intense battle over the life of Excalibur, a light brown mixed breed belonging to a Spanish nursing assistant and her husband, began soon after the woman was diagnosed with the deadly virus Monday, contracted when she treated a victim who came from Sierra Leone.

Officials from Madrid’s regional government got a court order Tuesday to euthanize the pet, despite uncertainty over whether the dog was also infected or risked spreading the disease to humans.

By that afternoon, 30 to 40 animal rights activists had taken up positions outside nursing assistant Teresa Romero’s apartment complex, determined to prevent officials from entering.

Tech running game strong despite loss

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

Although the Red Raiders lost 3734 on a last-second field goal to West Virginia Saturday, they had one of their strongest rushing performances of the season, gaining 217 yards on the ground in the game.

Coming into the matchup against West Virginia, the Red Raider offense averaged 135 rushing yards per game.

Tech’s rushing offense was led by junior running back DeAndre Washington, who had the best performance of his career.

Washington rushed for 132 yards on 29 carries against the West Virginia defense and broke his previous career-

Their defense would hold the Red Raider offense and the Mountaineers drove 78-yards to tie the game with 2:02 left in the game.

On Tech’s ensuing drive, it would get to the West Virginia 43-yard line and face a fourth down and three with 1:10 left on the clock.

The Red Raider coaching staff elected to punt the ball away and try to force overtime. The punt sailed into the end zone and set up the final drive on the 20-yard line, where the Mountaineers would eventually win the game.

Kingsbury said had he known what would happen on the punt, he would have gone for it on fourth down.

“I thought we could pin them back (on the punt),” he said. “We ended up kicking it in the end zone, and on second thought had we known that we probably would have went for it, but thought we could pin them back and them only having a couple time-outs,

high records of 104 rushing yards and 20 carriers, both set at the start of the 2014 season against Central Arkansas.

Washington’s performance against the Mountaineers was his first game against a Big 12 foe in which he rushed for more than 100 yards.

Tech sophomore quarterback Davis Webb praised Washington and the other Red Raider running backs.

“He (Washington) ran the ball great,” he said. “DeAndre really did a great job and (Justin Stockton), Kenny (Williams) back at running back. They all did a great job.”

Heading into halftime, Washington had already run for 78 of his 132 rushing yards versus West Virginia.

Stockton contributed to Tech’s rushing attack by finishing off the game with a total of 80 rushing yards on five carries and one touchdown.

West Virginia held Stockton to eight yards on three carries entering the fourth quarter of the game.

In the fourth quarter, however, Stockton cut through a hole in the West Virginia defense for a 69-yard touchdown run from the Tech 31 yard line on his fourth carry of the game.

Stockton’s touchdown run marked the second carry of 65 or more yards in his six games as a Red Raider.

The last time Stockton ran for more than 65 yards on a carry was against the UTEP Miners in Tech’s second game of the 2014 season.

go to overtime.”

The Tech offense racked up 565 yards of total offense, behind career games from multiple players like running back DeAndre Washington.

Despite this, Kingsbury said he did not have enough confidence in his offense to pick up the fourth and three.

“I didn’t like how we were handling the man coverage, to be honest,” he said. “They kept rolling down and playing it and we couldn’t win and we couldn’t make the throw, so we just decided to (punt).”

Sophomore safety Keenon Ward lead the defense with 16 tackles, a career high, and a pass break up.

Ward said Saturday’s game is by far the most frustrating loss he has experienced at Tech and of his career.

“It was (frustrating),” Ward said.

“We came out and played pretty well, and it was obvious that we should have won that game. When you lose games like these, it’s pretty tough.”

Defensive coordinator Mike Smith and his defense were able to hold West Virginia to 10 points in the first half, including several three-and-outs.

Trickett entered the game averaging 380 passing yards per game, best in the Big 12 Conference, but was held to 110 passing yards and no touchdowns in the first half.

Sophomore quarterback Davis Webb out gained the Mountaineers’ quarterback and ended the game with 348 passing yards on 28 of 46 attempts and three touchdowns.

Webb said the offense was playing possibly the best it had all season in the first quarter, and they must do that all game and for the rest of the season.

“We came out really hot and just got to keep the pedal to the metal,” Webb said. “We kind of laid off a little bit and they did a good job responding. But yeah, you see how good our offense can be. That first quarter was Texas Tech football, so we’ve got to play three more quarters like that.”

Washington pounded the ball and had a career-high 132 yards and new high 29 carries. This marked Washington’s first 100-yard game in a Big 12 game.

Webb said Washington and the other running backs were a huge part

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said West Virginia left defensive holes which allowed Tech to run a rushing offense more often.

“We were trying to take what they gave us,” he said. “We felt like they were giving us a light box early and try to run it when we could.”

Although the Red Raiders’ 217 total rushing yards was less in comparison to West Virginia’s total of 265 yards, Tech ran the ball for 38 carries — 12 carries less than the Mountaineers.

The Red Raiders will look to continue their strong running attack and earn their first Big 12 Conference victory when they take on Kansas at 2:30 p.m. this Saturday. ➤➤dgaytan@dailytoreador.com

of the team having a lead for almost the entire game. “(Washington) ran the ball great.

It was one of the emphases we had last week going into this week,” he said.

“We didn’t run the ball expectedly last week, and DeAndre really did a great job. They all did a great job.”

Sophomore wide receiver Devin Lauderdale also had a career game with 3 catches for 112 yards and two first quarter touchdowns. “(Lauderdale) got benched early in the season, and ever since then he’s kind of been motivated, and he went off today,” Webb said. “So really proud of him.”

Saturday’s loss marked the first time Tech lost to West Virginia since the Mountaineers entered the Big 12.

The Red Raiders are now 2-4 overall and 0-3 in conference play, the first time they have started conference 0-3 since 1985, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Their next chance to snap the losing streak will be at home Saturday against Kansas. ➤➤jkrakosky@dailytoreador.com
