CROSS COUNTRY

Caro plans to carry team to success

By DAVID GAY

Staff Writer

ith nine career top 10 finishes in her Texas Tech cross-country career, Jocelyn Caro, a junior psychology major from El Paso, has more to prove as the Big 12 Conference Championships approach. The championships will take place on Oct. 31 in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Caro started running in high school because of the recruitment of her coach, she said.

“Our high school coach recruited me to join the team,” Caro said. “He was a great coach and I liked being a part of the program.”

Even though she was recruited by other schools, Caro chose Texas Tech because of cross-country coach Jon Murray and the environment, she said.

According to the Texas Tech Athletics website, Caro has already picked up a Big 12 Runner of the Week award and her ninth top 10 finish this year.

Caro said she is focused on placing at the conference championships.

“I scored pretty high in region-

help my team have better scoring than last year.”

Murray also has high expectations for Caro this year, he said.

“Last year, she got sick right before conference play,” Murray said. “If she ran like she did at regionals during conference play, she would have been all-conference last year. We hope that she makes all-conference this year.”

Other goals Caro has for the year include not getting injured and taking care of her body, she said.

Another important goal is to integrate the freshmen with the team, Caro said, and help them make the smooth transition between high school and college.

“It’s a different game from high school to college,” Caro said. “We give the younger members our personal experiences so they can learn from them. We also give them encouraging words when they don’t perform well in practice.”

Murray said Caro has already reached that goal, and she is definitely the leader of the team.

“She gives the younger team members confidence,” Murray said.

“She is the one who has been successful and is a good leader for the group. She shows that if you work hard enough, it pays off.”

HEALTH

Flu shots available, encouraged on campus

By AMY CUNNINGHAM Managing editor

Fever, cough, sore throat — flu season has returned, and doctors advise everyone to get a flu shot as soon as possible.

Dr. Kelly Bennett, medical director of Student Health Services, said even young, healthy people can get the flu and end up getting sick enough to be hospitalized.

“The influenza virus is kind of like a cold on steroids,” she said. “It makes people much sicker than a cold. They’re generally running a high fever and have a cough, sore throat, runny nose and are much more infectious than a typical cold.”

Those who have flu-like symptoms need to immediately see a doctor and stay at home, she said.

The shot administered at the Student Wellness Center is the same as the ones given at other locations, she said, and Texas Tech officials do not care where its students, faculty and staff receive the shot.

MUSEUM OF TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY

Frullo makes donation to restore 1927 Model-T

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

The Museum of Texas Tech has had a 1927 Model-T Ford Adore in its possession since the early 1970s, and it has begun a project to restore the car into running condition.

Recently, Rep. John Frullo, a Republican from Lubbock, made a $1,000 donation to the museum to help in the refurbishment process, he said. The Model-T, which is painted and designed with signage of the day, including football scores between Tech and Texas Christian University, key headlines from the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal and The Toreador, was a vehicle used by Lubbock’s KFYO radio station.

“I think it just shows how good we as a community (and) Texas Tech rely on the media,” Frullo said. “Not only KFYO but the other stations that, of course, (have) developed into TV stations, like now, and other mediums that people use to get their information.”

KFYO, which is a Lubbock radio station on 790 AM, has a long history with the Lubbock community, and the car was originally bought to commemorate the 25th anniversary for the station, Henry B. Crawford, curator of history, said. The car has headlines showing the important events that were going on that year in Lubbock and gives more insight into the nearly 90-year history of the station.

With graduate students volunteering to help in the refurbishment process, Crawford gathered a small team together to help with the car, he said. It is the students who work with the museum that are given the opportunity to work with pieces such as the Model-T. “It’s an important outlet to let students work on major projects. Our students get to work with the collection, directly with the collection,” Crawford said. “Historically it’s very important because it’s a real piece of Lubbock history.”

Twenty-five percent of counselor education programs nationwide are accredited. According to the release, Tech is now the only accredited program between Dallas and Albuquerque, New Mexico, “I would place our counseling education fac-

go to the doctor.”

When someone has a cold, symptoms tend to show themselves gradually, Bennett said.

Symptoms of the flu include a fever of 100 degrees or higher, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, headaches, body aches, chills, fatigue, nausea or vomiting, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website, www.flu.gov.

“With the flu, (symptoms are) more like, boom, you’re well one minute and sick the next.

It’s incredibly sudden,” Bennett said. “Also, generally with the flu, you’re struck very quickly with a high temperature, likely over 101 degrees.”

The aches and pains can make the sick person feel like they were in a car accident, she said, whereas the sore throat and cough are secondary complaints.

Enough people get the flu each year that doctors have spent billions of dollars to develop a medication, she said, but sick people must act quickly.

“You have to get medical care within 48 hours of running a temperature or there’s nothing that we can do for you,” Bennett said. “This is one of the very few viruses that we actually have a medication that is an anti-viral.”

If a sick person does not go to a doctor within 48 hours, the viral load is too high for the medication to do anything, she said.

Some people believe the flu shot can give them the virus, which Bennett said is one of the biggest misconceptions about

the shot.

“You cannot get the flu virus from the shot,” she said. “The shot is actually inactivated virus. It cannot make you sick at all.”

As the immune system responds to the vaccine, a person might feel poorly but will not contract the virus, she said. If someone becomes sick after getting a shot, he or she likely picked up a different virus or bacteria.

To prevent the spread of the virus, Bennett said it is important to wash one’s hands often and to cover one’s mouth when coughing.

If a student is displaying symptoms, they should not go to class, she said. While the general population always wants a note to get out of work, it can be difficult for a doctor to keep a student from attending class.

“I have to absolutely bend over backwards to convince students not to go to class,” she said.

When someone who has the flu goes to class, he or she is a problem and causes other people to become sick, Bennett said. Instead, they need to stay at home.

Valdez said if he gets the flu before he gets the shot, he will not attend class.

While everyone should get the flu shot, Bennett said those with weakened immune systems or asthma especially need to get it.

“Everybody was all afraid of the Ebola virus last year,” she said, “and yet the flu virus every year kills between 20,000 and 60,000 Americans.”

Artist plans to render border fence ‘invisible’ NOGALES, Mexico (AP) — Armed with sky-blue paint, artist Ana Teresa Fernández began to “erase” the border fence that splits up Mexico and the U.S. on Tuesday.

Fernández, who was born in Mexico but raised in San Diego, is leading an effort to paint the border fence in Nogales, Sonora, so blue that it blends with the sky, rendering it nearly invisible.

Nogales sits on the border with Nogales, Arizona.

Fernández solicited the help of about 30 volunteers who helped paint.

“This wall has become a symbol of pain, a symbol where we lament the lives who have not been able to cross it,” Fernández said.

The artist wants to use her painting as a visual platform of migrant and human rights on an international level.

“For me, the border, the border wall, is like a tombstone,” she said.

Neither the Mexican or U.S. authorities interrupted the painters as they covered a little over 30 feet of fencing with blue paint.

“It’s not erasing the border, it’s pulling the sky down to us,” the 34-year-old said.

This isn’t the first time Fernández “pulls down they sky.”

She painted the border fence on a beach in Tijuana in 2012, saying the border fence mostly exists for Mexicans, not Americans.

Tuesday’s project attracted the attention of Luis Guerra, an immigrant who was deported two years ago. Guerra lived in the U.S. since he was 13 years old and has U.S.-born children. The 36-year-old said he can’t enter to the U.S. to see his family.

Guerra volunteered to paint on Tuesday.

“It gives me strength. It makes me feel like I’m strong,” Guerra said. “Now I don’t feel like I’m in jail. It looks nice.”

Susannah Castro, of Border Community Alliance, invited Fernández to take on this project. She said Mexican authorities were made aware of the project and didn’t object.

“We’re not doing anything illegal. We’re an humanitarian organization and we’re not gonna shy away from these topics,” Castro said.

Added Fernández: “The role of an artist is to make sure people don’t become compliant.”

Texas teen charged with murder in mother’s death GALVESTON (AP) — Prosecutors say a 14-yearold Southeast Texas boy accused of strangling and stabbing his pregnant mother has been charged with capital murder in her death.

The Galveston County Daily News reports online Tuesday that the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office said he’d been charged with capital murder.

First Assistant District Attorney Kevin Petroff says prosecutors have yet to decide whether they’ll try to certify him to stand trial as an adult.

Petroff says the teen remains in custody in a juvenile facility.

The boy’s 33-year-old mother was found dead on Sept. 26 inside her La Marque home. Authorities say the motive in the killing is unclear.

The Associated Press is not naming the boy because he is a juvenile or his mother because it would identify the boy.

Malnutrition remains world problem

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

The World Bank made headlines this week when it announced for the first time in recent history, the poverty level of the world has reached less than 10 percent.

However, the amount of people who go malnourished in the world is still high, according to research from two nutritional science professors at Texas Tech.

South Africa is known for extreme poverty and wealth, Wilna Oldewage-Theron, professor of nutritional sciences, said. There is also a double burden of disease — people who are under, and at the same time, over-nourished.

It is a double burden because there are many instances where people are obese or perhaps stunted and underweight. Through her research, Oldewage-Theron said she found people who are overweight also have a micronutrient deficiency.

“Unfortunately what happens is if a mother is malnourished while she’s pregnant, the child will be born malnourished,” Oldewage-Theron said. “If that child is still in a situation where they’re not getting optimal nutrition, the child will grow up to become a malnourished adult.”

It is through this malnourishment that a cycle continues in the country, she said, and the only way to stop it is through fighting both poverty and malnutrition.

Worsening the malnutrition is the high prevalence of HIV and AIDS, she said, because in one house it is easy to find an overweight person, a malnourished person and a person infected with HIV or AIDS. Oldewage-Theron originally started her research at the Vaal University of Technology in South Africa, she said, and she has collaborated with many professionals in the research of malnutrition and has brought some of that research to Tech.

Furthering the problem of malnutrition is also the lack of knowledge people have, Oldewage-Theron said, and it is often hard to educate people because they do not know there is a problem.

“In the past in developed countries, the rich countries, obesity was sort of the problem,” she said. “But now it’s also reaching toward the developing countries amongst the poor people.”

Malnutrition actually reaches beyond starvation, and an obese person can also be considered malnourished. In many instances it is because people cannot afford richer, healthier food, she said, and people usually consume a monotonous diet of mainly staple foods in large quantities.

There are also other issues that can be added into people’s lives based on their surroundings, OldewageTheron said, including not having money for exercise

programs, falling into violent circles which leads to more poor conditions, or suffering from depression or anxiety that keeps them from eating full or healthy meals. “(It’s) because they are in a community where everybody is poor, so for them it is almost normal to be like that,” Oldewage-Theron said. “So they don’t always realize that they do have a problem and it is because a lack of knowledge, a lot of the times they are not very well educated.”

A visiting colleague from Vaal University, Abdulkadir Egal, professor and director of the Centre of Sustainable Livelihoods, said once people are able to take in the knowledge of their own food insecurity they are better able to prepare better foods and reevaluate the health of their families and themselves.

With the limited amount of money they have, people, once educated, are able to get the maximum nutrition out of their foods, he said.

In South Africa, both Egal and Oldewage-Theron took part in a research study that looked into households starting vegetable gardens and then adding soy, she said.

“Soy, in South Africa, is the only plant protein that has all of the essential amino acids so that children can grow and people can maintain,” Oldewage-Theron said. “You don’t have to eat any other protein source if you eat soy.”

Mary Murimi, professor of nutritional sciences, has also done research in malnutrition and food insecurity. In her time at Tech, she said, she has also carried over the research she conducted in Kenya and compared it to the rural areas of West Texas, specifically Muleshoe.

She has found the type of people who either do not have or worry about food are the same people who are getting government aid. Through her research, she has found that the Hispanic population sometimes does not know they

are food insecure, she said.

“We are starting to understand different cultures and how they cope with their situation,” Murimi said.

In food security there are four different ways to measure how secure a person might be, she said: accessibility, availability, affordability and utilization. There should be enough food for a person all of the time for them to be able to live a healthy lifestyle, she said.

Murimi began her research in Kenya two years ago, she said, and because the area was in a desert, the main problem was that people could not grow food all of the time.

The deficiency in vital nutrients usually brought on sicknesses such as kwashiorkor and marasmus, and through assessments the parents found out the feeding habits of the children were usually what caused these sicknesses.

“And, of course, we found they basically don’t have food to feed their children according to what we recommend,” she said. “They don’t know what is good and what is not good.”

Because of the scarcity of some types of food, it often happens that whatever food is available at the moment is the best choice for them, Murimi said. Murimi also began an intervention with the people to emphasize the importance

of clean cooking and cooking with foods available there.

“We weren’t telling them to have spinach when we know they can’t get it,” she said.

“So we were trying to look at the things they had in their households (and) how they can make it more nutritious.”

After six months the group went back and found improvements in all the areas they had talked to the people about, Murimi said. The behavior of the people changed, and they were better able to retain the information and practice on a daily basis.

Murimi said there were many times they would encourage people to think about health as opposed to money.

Because a child could do well with one egg and a bit of milk, it goes further than selling the egg and using the money for some other type of food that is usually not as beneficial.

Because of the difficulty in deciphering these meal preparations and the lack of money and transportation, she said it was difficult to incorporate these new rules into the lives of the people.

“They have always done things in a particular way and they have never associated it with their children getting sick,” Murimi said.

It was her work in a research organization headed by a Dutch company, she said, that needed aids to collect data. In one project the

aids had to follow poor people who were food insecure and see what they took to their markets and what they sold and bought.

The family Murimi was following had a mango tree, chickens and a small-butefficient garden, all of which is sustainable and healthy, she said. They would harvest from all of these and sell in the market, but there was still malnutrition in the house.

Once at the market, the family sold their goods, and with the money, they stopped by a grocery store and bought a sugary fruit drink, a pound of white sugar, white bread and bleached white flour.

“That changed my life completely and I remember saying, ‘My people are dying because of lack of knowledge and I’m going to study nutrition,’” she said.

It is almost impossible for people to be able to move around and change their location, Egal said, so it is better to educate them on their own surroundings. Egal used Syrian refugees as an example, and said when people do try to move around they are shut out, which makes the notion of settling somewhere else practically impossible.

Influx in the cities also poses a huge problem, he said, because when people move from a rural area to the city, in most cases the city does not have the ability to provide

for those people. This usually digs people deeper into poverty, he said.

This also makes it harder for people when a natural disaster comes, Egal said, because it is usually in those instances that the playing field between rich and poor folk is evened out.

“It’s like a rich person when there is a flood, he can’t cook, he can’t eat,” Egal said, “but there’s money in the bank. He can’t eat the money.”

Many instances of food waste add to the problem, Egal and Murimi said, more so in the lack of infrastructure and transportation. Many people are not able to transport their harvested food to markets efficiently and much of what they have grown goes to waste.

Nutritionists cannot solve the problem with malnutrition alone, Oldewage-Theron said. It is a complex issue that should be evaluated by governments and people of any country.

Much progress has been made, she said, but there is still a long way to go to get an equal sharing of the foods the world has to offer.

“If you look overall, poverty is much lower than it used to be, but if you go to the developing countries the poverty there is still quite high,” she said. “Very little has been done about that.” @MichaelCantuDT

Rising tuition, low wages making vacation difficult

M

y backpacking pack has been collecting dust for quite a long time now. It sits in the corner of my room beside a rolled up sleeping bag, a neglected tent, two old hiking poles and a dusty pile of books I bought but haven’t gotten the chance to read yet. Each time I look at them, they seem more pitiful, like a dog pouting to go out. Between school and a tight budget, however, it has been a long time since I’ve been able to get out.

For many poor and busy college students, the thought of taking time off for vacations seems to be becoming increasingly dreamlike. With a competitive hiring field, increasing national student loan debt and stagnant wages, student vacations have become a luxury item.

With my budget and busy work schedule, in the few times I do save up to travel nowadays, I often feel guilty about it. For example, the last time I got out of Lubbock was a quick road trip to Las Vegas with a friend. Both being broke, we cut as many expenses as possible. We forfeited hotel rooms for roadside tenting, and our diets consisted of turkey and cheese sandwiches, trail mix, water and the cheapest alcohol we could find.

Yet, when we finally got to the casinos of Las Vegas, I still felt an enormous amount of guilt for spending the money to get there. The slot machines ate up the few dollars I gave it within seconds. Men in exquisite suits casually walked by, accompanied by women in luxurious dresses. My student debt was a haunting ghost, and I had never felt as poor as I did wandering amongst the rich, go-lucky spenders of Las Vegas.

As wages stagnate, young adults everywhere are becoming increasingly unable to travel. In the U.S. News Travel article, “10 Cheap Summer Vacations for Students,” writer Miri-

Jarrod Miller is The DT’s opinions editor and a senior French major from Lubbock.

am B. Weiner lists Amsterdam, Florence and Paris as affordable vacation spots for students. This list is laughable. This year, in between paying for school expenses, housing costs and feeding myself, simply visiting my friends in Austin for the Fourth of July seemed like spending a fortune.

In young adults, performance anxiety is also a key reason many do not take vacations. It is no secret U.S. workers take less time off compared with workers from most other countries.

In a May 1 Fortune Magazine article titled, “Why Americans just won’t take time off,” reporter Colleen Kane said U.S. workers, on average, fail to use five of their vacation days a year.

Kane writes that in today’s economy, workers feel pressured to take less vacation time because of immense work pressure. Employees believe taking vacation time off can complicate their work and make them less competitive in the job pool, according to the article.

While this article applies toward employed U.S. workers, the same often holds true for college students. Similar to jobs that do not have strictly-defined work hours, a heavy homework load means students always have something to be working on.

While these studies focus on workers employed at fulltime jobs, many students work part-time jobs through the weekend. Waitresses and waiters, pizza delivery drivers and cashiers may have trouble remembering the last weekend they had a free weekend for vacation.

Of course, some students have the pleasure of having long summers to take vacations. Many students

find work throughout the summer, while the lucky ones find a paid internship.

Some students still spring for unpaid internships, a terrible labor practice that somehow still plagues the U.S. job market, but very few of any of these students still don’t take the time to take vacations.

Because of this, it appears the concept of a vacation has become a luxury, rather than a worker’s right.

Vacations are becoming a luxury item for the students who are wealthy enough to afford the travel expenses and the time, two commodities many students lack.

Tech may give students many vacation days, but for many students these only mean more days to work at a job or complete homework.

In Lubbock, the lack of a vacation can become exhausting. While it is a city full of heart, its surroundings are devoid of mountains, rivers, oceans and lakes. While vehicles and airplanes decrease travel times, Lubbock remains far away from most other Texas cities.

As the semester continues to pack homework on to students, many students will find themselves unable to take a break. However, vacation time should not be a luxury for the rich and the idle. In financially straining times, it is something that should be fought for.

At the same time that students start their weekend shifts on Fridays, beautiful Texas scenery is left unexplored. To Lubbock’s east, Lost Maples State Natural Area is particularly beautiful in the fall, with each tree turning a vibrant shade of red, orange or brown. To Lubbock’s west, the Guadalupe Mountains are finally becoming cooler and its El Capitan peak looks extraordinarily beautiful at sunset. Taking the time to see such things is a choice, but it is a choice too few college students make. jmiller@dailytoreador.com

Truckers need higher wages

I

n recent news, truck drivers, or freight haulers, as they may be called, have seen a raise in average pay.

Based on the job requirements, this average pay raise is well deserved.

Spending long hours behind the wheel can be boring, tiring and even dangerous when traveling at night. Hauling loads of freight for businesses all around the states in large trucks, sometimes as big as 18 to even 30-wheelers, is not an easy job. From personal experience, driving only five hours when traveling from Dallas to Lubbock for school is a struggle. I can only imagine how important it is for a truck driver to safely drive across states all over the nation for four or five times the amount of hours it takes me to drive from Dallas to Lubbock.

In a recent article by Robbie Whelan and Brian Baskin of The Wall Street Journal, “U.S. truck drivers now have employers fighting for their services.” Truck driving requires much from an employee. Employees need to get up early, be on call quite often, drive long hours (sometimes even days) and don’t have much time for relaxation and entertainment throughout the long week.

Conrad Polkosnik is a junior petroleum engineering major from Dallas.

Some may wonder how I know all these details about the job, but, in fact, I have a friend who I eat Thanksgiving and Christmas meals with every year who is a truck driver.

It saddens me to hear about how hard he works, the amount of hours he puts in to his job, while receiving simply unjust pay. Many jobs, such as mine, are paid hourly in the U.S., which gives a worker such as myself a chance at overtime, while “hourly pay is not a common occurrence in the truck driving industry,” as stated by a report titled, “Truck Driving Per Hour Salary” on alltrucking.com. Though some drivers may have an hourly pay, it is not always better than simply receiving a salary.

In either case, whether the driver receives a salary or hourly pay, truck drivers are not being paid enough for the work they do. Some may say, “All they do is drive a truck, it’s not that hard.” In response, I say, I dare you to try to make only one drive of 12 to 16 hours and see if

you can make it in one day.

Honestly, see if you can make a drive in half the amount of that time and imagine if you had to do that every day as a normal job for the rest of your life. It is not easy.

Additionally, truck drivers are rarely ever home. My friend often tells me his job has many weeks consisting of 60 to 70 hours of driving.

Because many only receive a salary, those extra 20 to 30 hours after a hard 40-hour workweek aren’t accounted for most of the time. From personal experience working full time, I’m already exhausted after a 40-hour workweek. I couldn’t imagine driving for 60 to 70 hours a week. I would be lucky not to fall asleep behind the wheel and crash the truck.

According to the same report on alltrucking.com, “As of 2011, the median hourly pay for truck drivers was $21.74 per hour for heavy and over-the-road drivers according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This averages out to be $45,219 per year based upon a 40hour workweek.” $45,000 and some change is simply not enough for all the hours, relaxation and entertainment constraints based on the job’s requirements. cpolkosnik@dailytoreador.com

US military reputation hurt after tragic hospital bombing

W

hen checking into a hospital, the last thing a patient would expect would be an airstrike by the United States Military.

Sadly, this is what occurred at a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, early on a Saturday morning, resulting in the death of 22 innocent people.

On Oct. 3, the U.S. Military mistakenly bombed a hospital in Kunduz after Afghan forces asked for air support, resulting in the killing of several hospital staff and patients, including three children, according to an Oct. 3 New York Times article.

The strike was initially sent to eliminate Taliban forces, but this error resulted in the unjustified killings that took place, subsequently ending the lives of innocent people.

This attack might chalk up to human error, but the U.S. government keeps changing the story, according to The Guardian’s article, “Doctors Without Borders airstrike: US alters story for fourth time in four days.” This questionable behavior has led to new doubts being formed by the public.

This attack resulted in the murder of innocent civilians who were trying to help patients and give comfort to family members in this hospital, according to the New York Times article. The hospital was built by Doctors Without Borders, a humanitarian aid organization striving to give aid to wounded individuals throughout the world, including many war-torn countries.

Doctors Without Borders

Brian DeFilippis is a sophomore electronic media and communications major from Flower Mound.

has released an official statement on its website, with the international president of the aid group saying they have received the president’s apology, but are asking for “consent for an independent investigation led by the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission to establish what happened in Kunduz, how it happened and why it happened.”

Doctors Without Borders has also given a description of what occurred, saying on its website the hospital staff reported that “no armed combatants or fighting in the compound” was reported, adding to the mystery of why the hospital was bombed.

The innocent civilians were in the hospital to receive medical aid, and the aid they received was in the form of a military strike by the U.S. According to an Oct. 6 CNN article, President Barack Obama “has said that The Pentagon is carrying out a full investigation and he expects a full accounting of the facts and circumstances.”

Even though an investigation is being done, it is not enough to repair the damage caused by the bombing, resulting in the many lives lost in this tragic mistake by the U.S. Military. The damage cannot

be reversed.

Through this incident, Doctors Without Borders posted short descriptions about what occurred at its hospital through Twitter. The organization described horrific scenes, such as in the ICU, where six patients were burning in their beds. According to the CNN article, “The organization said it has since been forced to close the hospital.”

While this event could be chalked up to a tragic mistake, the one thing that concerns me is the fact that the U.S. government has changed its official story multiple times.

According to the CNN article, “Their description of the attack keeps changing — from collateral damage, to a tragic incident, to now attempting to pass responsibility to the Afghanistan government.”

This situation has severely tarnished the U.S. Military’s reputation, because of the innocent lives destroyed that fateful morning and the lies U.S. forces told. This occasion has raised the question on whether this event would be considered a war crime, according to the CNN article.

The only thing we can do at this point in time is wait for the investigation to take its course by gathering all the information. While the investigation is still ongoing, I can only hope this tragic occurrence gets summed up as a tragic mistake, one that should never happen again. bdefilippis@dailytoreador.com

CASA seeks male advocates for children

BY ARIEL GARCIA Staff Writer

Court Appointed Special Advocates of the South Plains is looking for advocates to support young children coming from abusive homes in the Lubbock area.

“CASA is currently running a recruitment campaign called Team Up with CASA,” Gabriel Ballesteros, the director of communications and marketing for CASA, said CASA is currently running a recruitment campaign called Team Up with CASA. While 50 percent of the children CASA serves are boys, Ballesteros said only 19 percent of volunteer advocates are male. This is an issue because many of

the children lack positive male influences. “ We a r e c h a l l e n g i n g more men to ‘Team up with CASA’ and help reach the goal of 14 new male volunteer advocates by Oct. 20,” he said.

CASA of the South Plains empowers community members to serve as volunteer advocates who speak for the well being of abused and neglected children in the foster care system, according to its website.

Court appointed special advocates are community members who ensure each foster child’s needs remain a priority in an overburdened child welfare system, while working to find safe, permanent homes for these vulnerable children, Ballesteros said.

CASA’s mission with this campaign is to encourage more men to become volunteer advocates, he said. The role of these advocates can make a significant impact on the children involved, even if it is something as simple as helping a child get glasses.

“One advocate found out that a child needed glasses and was able to make sure that the child’s need was met,” Ballesteros said. “That child had moved from placement to placement multiple times, and no one else was able to follow up with their medical records. Without that advocate, that child may not have been able to get the glasses they needed.”

Michael Hartsfield, a sophomore business man-

agement major from Terrell and vice president of Tech Students for CASA, said he was once one of these children who needed a positive influence early on in his life.

“CASA gave me someone to talk to,” Hartsfield said, “someone who really seemed to care about what happened to me.”

Hartsfield and his brother became involved with CASA when they entered into the foster care system, and he said they relied on the organization to help with their adoption process.

“A lot of foster kids do not feel they have anyone in their life, so (CASA) provides a great service by putting someone in our life,” he said. “It really is an honor to be able to help

MODEL-T

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Andy Harris, a history doctoral student, is one of the students working on the car and has invested countless hours in trying to find parts and put things together to make the car work, he said. The four-cylinder, 177 cubicinch engine of the Adore has around 83 foot-pounds of torque and nearly 22 horsepower, he said, and was considered a top-ofthe line car in its day.

The car was also said to have a top speed of 45 mph, but with its unforgiving suspension, it was a risk going that speed, Harris said, and the cruising speed for the car was around 25 to 30 mph.

MICHAEL CANTU/The Daily Toreador

John Frullo, Texas state representative, donated $1,000 to the Museum of Texas Tech University to help restore a 1927 Model-T Ford Adore. Texas Tech President M. Duane Nellis and Henry Crawford, curator of history for the museum, accepted the donation from Frullo at the ceremony on Tuesday morning.

Tying into his research, Harris said he had the opportunity to research the Model-

T to add to his portfolio for his interdisciplinary degree.

“Based on that, I’m

helping the museum as a volunteer now to get this thing actually operating

CAMPUS

CASA and to, in a way, help people like me.”

Hartsfield joined TSCASA after finding it at the organization fair hosted on campus at the beginning of each semester, he said.

His own experience with CASA was a major influence in why he decided to get involved.

Prospective volunteers can attend a no-obligation informational session, called CASA 101, which enables the public to learn more about CASA’s mission and what it means to be an advocate, Ballesteros said.

CASA advocates must be at least 21 years old, according to CASA’s website, and they must go through an application process, which includes a background check and an application with

reference letters.

CASA will host a CASA 101 on Thursday at its office at #24 Briercroft Office Park from noon to 1 p.m. and lunch will be provided.

To sign up, people should R.S.V.P. to Amanda Norfleet, recruitment director, by today at (806) 763-2272 or via email at amandan@ lubbockcasa.org.

“Each week on the South Plains at least 10 children enter the foster care system due to abuse and neglect. These children need an advocate,” Ballesteros said. “They need someone who will speak up for their best interest. I would encourage anyone who would like make a positive difference in the life of a foster child to volunteer.”

and running,” he said.

“I’ve always had interest in cars, it’s been a passion of mine, and to get to do this is a dream come true.”

Parts for the car are often easy to get but are pricey, he said, and donations like the ones given from Frullo allow the museum to fund the project.

“The importance and significance of getting this Model-T running is to have an operational, running, historical item for the museum,” Harris said.

“To have people come in and to experience what it would’ve been like in 1927 and drive, or really, ride in a Model-T.” All around the country museums have historic cars, but it is not often they are in running condition, he said. It is im-

portant for museums to always try and preserve the cultural history that comes with vehicles like these, Harris said.

For Frullo, it is exciting to see the different items that are written on the car, he said, and preserving the vehicle adds to the significance of the museum. The car also gives a deeper look into the growth of the Lubbock community throughout history. “(There were) 17,500 people living in Lubbock at the time, that’s about half of what Texas Tech has here,” Frullo said. “It’s just kind of neat to reminisce and look at the advances that we made, sometimes we don’t really stop and smell the roses, and this is a chance to do that.”

Students learn about nonprofits “Playboy” will stop

By MALLORY BARNETT Staff Writer

Texas Tech students were given the opportunity to gain more information about a possible future with various Lubbock nonprofit organizations at the Nonprofit Organizations Fair on Tuesday afternoon.

Organizations such as the Volunteer Center of Lubbock, the Boys and Girls Club and Court Appointed Special Advocates of the South Plains were j u s t a f e w o f t h e n o nprofit organizations offering both volunteer and internship opportunities to students.

Rachel Flores, director of operations at the Volunteer Center, said the center partners with local nonprofit organizations.

“Our goal is to help people in our community find their purpose and act on it,” she said. “We are partnered with 117 local nonprofits that we serve, and we actually built this partnership with the Career Center to put on this fair.”

Flores also said the Volunteer Center helps volunteers find community service opportunities. “ We f o u n d t h a t n o t enough students were able to connect with nonprofits,

and they have some really awesome opportunities out there,” she said.

“What we do is work with volunteers and people who are interested in getting plugged into the community, but don’t really know where to go and we help them figure that out.”

For students interested in internships with the Volunteer Center, Flores said there are countless opportunities, regardless of major.

“As far as internships go, we offer a lot of different opportunities,” she said. “One of the internships that we do is working with youth and helping youth get involved in the community at a young age. We also have more communicationsrelated internships. As a nonprofit, we don’t really have a ton of money to go spend on advertising and graphic design, so we, a lot of times, tap into student skills so that they can have something to put in their portfolios and we can give them training and an educational experience.”

The Boys and Girls Club of Lubbock, represented by volunteer coordinator Julie Lackey, also had a booth that provided students with information and opportunities.

“The Boys and Girls

Club is a place for kids to come every day after school, and we open the time school is out,” she said. “We do homework help, tutoring, basketball, flag football, game rooms with ping pong, pool and air hockey. Right now we have a giant spook house going, and ton of Tech kids have volunteered and have helped us. We have had 250 volunteers just in October helping us build it.”

The Boys and Girls Club also provides services and life lessons for children who are missing them at home, Lackey said, and there are many opportunities for students.

“We offer program interns, and we will try to have two at every club each semester, so that’s about eight positions,” she said. “We also do a technology internship that has the person working with our computers and our unit directors, as well as our staff. On top of the two internships, we also have volunteer opportunities all throughout the year.”

CASA of the South Plains had representatives speaking to students about the organization and the uniqueness of the work they do, Gabriel Ballesteros, director of

communications and marketing, said.

“CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates, and what our volunteer advocates do is they work with all the various parties involved in a foster child’s case, so that would be the teachers, doctors, attorneys, therapists, biological parents, the placement and foster parents,” he said. “They gather as much information about what’s going on in that child’s life as they can, and they are also there to represent the voice of that child, so they speak up for their best interest.”

After gathering their information, representatives then relay it back to court officials so the best decision can be made concerning a foster child’s permanent home.

For students interested in volunteer or internship opportunities, Ballesteros said CASA has several opportunities for them.

“For Tech students, we offer a great organization if you want to come down and learn more about how you can help abused and neglected foster kids, learn more about how you can impact the community here at home,” he said.

“Join us and either become an advocate or an intern.” @DailyToreador

LOS ANGELES (AP) — For generations, teenage boys got their first look at a naked woman from Playboy, often from a copy swiped from Dad’s sock drawer or filched from a newsstand.

These days, however, you can see far more explicit stuff on your phone than anything Hugh Hefner probably imagined when he launched his pioneering skin magazine 62 years ago with a centerfold of Marilyn Monroe.

wins Booker Prize for fiction LONDON (AP) — Marlon James became the first Jamaican winner of the prestigious Booker Prize for fiction Tues day with a vivid, violent, exuberant and expletiveladen novel based on the attempted assassination of Bob Marley.

Michael Wood, chairman of the judging panel, said “A Brief History of Seven Killings” was “the most exciting book on the list” and a novel full of the “sheer pleasure” of language. He said it had been

the unanimous choice of the five judges.

James was awarded the 50,000 pound ($77,000) prize during a black-tie dinner at London’s medieval Guildhall. The 44-year-old author said he almost gave up writing more than a decade ago when his first novel, “John Crow’s Devil,” was rejected by 70 publishers. He said winning the Booker Prize was “surreal,” and joked that he would spend the prize money on a tailor-made suit or “every William Faulkner novel in hardcover.”

In a move Playboy said had the blessing of the 89-year-old Hefner, the magazine will continue to publish what it called “sexy, seductive pictorials of the world’s most beautiful women,” but they won’t be baring it all.

It’s the end of an era, many said Tuesday, among them author Gay Talese, who wrote about Playboy and Hefner in his 1981 book about the sexual revolution, “Thy Neighbor’s Wife.”

Tech searches for win at West Virginia

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

A sense of urgency surrounds the Texas Tech volleyball team as it heads to Morgantown to face the West Virginia Mountaineers at 6 p.m. today in the WVU Coliseum.

Since its five-set victory over the Oklahoma Sooners, the Red Raiders have dropped 12 consecutive sets against Big 12 opponents.

Junior setter Marguerite Grubb said the team wants to regain the winning edge it showed earlier in the season.

“We’re all really hungry for another win,” Grubb said. “Obviously we know what it feels like to get a big win, and we also know what it feels like to lose games that we shouldn’t. I think we’re all ready to get back on the court against another team and get a win.”

Of its four consecutive losses, two came from away games versus Iowa State and Baylor, while Tech suffered its two other losses at home versus No. 9 Kansas and Texas Christian.

With disappointing results at the Big 12 Championships last year, the team’s goal is to finish in the top five this year, she said. As a team they are bonding more, which reflects in the workouts they do.

“We rely on each other to be focused on the workouts,” Caro said. “It’s not only taking care of your own body, it’s also about taking care of your teammates because they are your family.”

As well as working hard with the team, Caro’s favorite memories with the team involve bonding with them during trips and competitions, she said.

Caro plans to take things she has learned being a part of cross-country into the real world after college, she said.

two sets in extra frames and five sets with a deficit less than or equal to five points.

Tech’s losing streak dropped the Red Raiders to a 12-7 overall record and a 1-4 Big 12 record.

After losing the last game versus TCU at home, Tech coach Don Flora said the team used the limited time it had before heading out on its road trip to assess areas where the team may have lost the momentum of a match.

“We really needed to get some good work in practice,” Flora said. “There were a couple of key issues that would have flipped a match or a set. You want to get the work in when you have the chance to really dig in.”

Tech faces a Mountaineer squad on its own losing streak of six games. Under new coach Reed Sunahara, West Virginia has struggled in both offense and defense, according to the Big 12 website, as it ranks last in assists, hitting percentage, kills and opponent hitting percentage and ranks second to last in blocks, serving aces and opponent hitting percentage.

f the top 15 players in the country in terms of passing yards per game, five of them are from the Big 12 Conference.

From those five quarterbacks, four of them have been, currently are or are likely be considered Heisman candidates for this season.

Texas Christian senior Trevone Boykin, Baylor junior Seth Russell, Oklahoma junior Baker Mayfield and Texas Tech sophomore Patrick Mahomes II have all shown the potential to win the most prestigious award in college football.

Because of the talent at the quarterback position being better than any other conference in the nation, the Big 12 can be unpredictable.

Boykin finished last season fourth in Heisman voting and was a consensus second team All-American, according to the TCU Athletics website.

The senior quarterback has already thrown for 21 touchdowns and ran for four

more this season. He is also second in the conference with 351 passing yards per game, according to the Big 12 website.

Boykin and Mahomes are exactly tied for the conference lead with 411.5 total yards per game.

Boykin has led his team on two comebacks this season, including having a Heisman moment against Kansas State when he scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to give his team the victory and stay undefeated.

In the eyes of many, Boykin is currently in the top one or two players in the Heisman race.

In Waco, Russell has found immediate success in the Baylor offense in his first season as the starting quarterback.

Russell is rated as the most efficient quarterback among qualifying quarterbacks in the Big 12, according to the website.

He has thrown the most touchdowns in the nation with 22 and has run for four on the ground, according to the Baylor Athletics website.

Russell is averaging more than 300 passing yards per game, despite not playing in the fourth quarter of most games or even in the second half of some games.

To this point in the season, Baylor is the only team in country that has been higher powered than Tech or TCU by scoring the most points and gaining the most yards.

In Norman, Oklahoma, Mayfield had been in most experts’ Heisman race, but may have played himself out of the race by losing to Texas this past weekend.

The former Tech quarterback was sacked six times and was held to 211 passing yards against the Longhorns, according to the OU Athletics website. He also ran the

Finally, Mahomes is the conference’s last shot at the Heisman.

While he has not attracted much national attention yet, Mahomes is leading the Big 12 in passing yards and

is tied for total yards. He has also done this with little fourth quarter playing time.

In six games, he has found the end zone 25 times while throwing five interceptions, which is low for a player who has not even started a full 12 games.

Mahomes is also beginning to challenge Boykin for the most mobile quarterback in the conference.

After back-to-back losses to the highest-ranked teams in the Big 12, if the Red Raiders can find a way to win a majority of their remaining games and Mahomes maintains his current pace, he should be a legitimate candidate in the Heisman race.

If not this season, look for the sophomore quarterback to be a threat in the race in the coming years.

No matter which player wins the Heisman, the Big 12 has better quarterbacks at the top of the conference than any other conference in college football. @JeremyK_DT

Despite the underwhelming performance, Mayfield is still averaging 319 passing yards per game and 14 touchdowns while limiting his turnovers with three interceptions.

Even with the surprising loss, the Sooners could still finish the season with a great record behind strong quarterback play, which could put Mayfield back in the conversation.
