his week in practice, the Red Raiders are moving past the 48-17 Homecoming loss against West Virginia and focusing on the game ahead. Players and Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury have expressed disappointment in the game.

Senior linebacker Luke Stice said what happened on Saturday cannot happen again.

“The standard of excellence is very high around here, and we take pride in that,” Stice said.

“It’s something moving forward we have to do everything in our control to make sure that performance doesn’t happen again. And not let that performance dictate how we perform the rest of the way through. Let it be a positive deal moving forward.”

The atmosphere on both the sidelines and in the stands was flat last Saturday.

As a team captain this season, Stice said he feels he needs to step up and become a leader on the field when adversity takes place.

Crossroads Recording Studio provides creative outlet School of Law

dean resigns, effective Jan. 1

cording studios were on the second floor of the library,” Peoples said.

“They had closet type individual studios. They were big enough to do voice-overs or rap songs, and you might get a guitar in there.”

The decision was to build a full-blown recording studio free for all students, faculty and staff, Peoples said.

After being named dean of the John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Darby Dickerson, dean of Texas Tech School of Law, announced her resignation, according to a Tech news release. Dickerson’s resignation will be effective Jan. 1.

Dickerson previously served as the dean of the Stetson University College of Law for eight years, according to the release, and was appointed dean at Tech in July 2011.

During her time at Tech, faculty scholarships increased along with placements in the top-50 and top100 of law review articles. Dickerson increased the diversity of the adjunct faculty as well as full-time faculty, according to the release.

“It has been a tremendous pleasure and honor to serve as dean and the W. Frank Newton Professor of Law for the last five and a half years,” Dickerson said in the release.

Music is used as a creative outlet by many, but for some, music is more than a hobby. For those who want to make a career out of music, there is a resource offered in the basement of the Texas Tech Library.

The Crossroads Recording Studio is free for all students, staff and faculty at Tech who want to record

music, voice-overs or any other audio publication.

In 1999, Curtis Peoples, associate archivist at the Southwest Collection/Special at Collections Library, was working the library when Don Caldwell Studios closed in Lubbock. Peoples said he persuaded the dean of libraries and the head of the studio to agree to save the tapes produced at the studio in the archives.

2 In 2002, Peoples was hired fulltime to work on the Crossroads of Music Archive. Lubbock was dubbed the crossroads of Texas music by the state legislature, he said, and this was how the idea of starting a recording studio originated.

Peoples said in early 2011, the then-dean of libraries Donald Dyal asked him to build a recording studio.

Chamber warns small businesses of changes to overtime regulations

By MICHAEL CANTU News Editor

In a news conference hosted on Monday, the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce invited Lubbock businesses and media to their offices to send a warning for new overtime regulations that will go into effect in 45 days.

The new regulations came with changes to the Federal Labor Standards Act and will be implemented nationwide on Dec. 1, according to a Lubbock Chamber news release.

“The Lubbock Chamber is one of the 50 plaintiffs who have filed a federal lawsuit to block the regulations,” Beth Bridges, chairwoman for the chamber, said. “But we are still urging Lubbock employers to be ready for the rule change on or by Dec. 1.”

Currently people who make a salary of $23,660 are entitled to overtime compensation, but the new regulations bump up the threshold to $47,476, Bridges said. This new threshold means people who make higher wages will still be required to punch in and out times and make time and a half compensation when they work overtime.

The new regulations will also update the salary threshold every three years, Bridges said.

“This higher salary threshold will mean that many employers will have to reclassify

some employees as hourly employees and pay them overtime,” Bridges said. “As well as deploy time clocks or other time tracking tools and plan for impact on their business models and services.”

Dave Marcinkowski is on the chamber’s board of directors and is the head of management operations of Madera Companies, which buys, sells and manages apartment complexes. Marcinkowski expressed his concern in the news conference saying the Obama administration and the Department of Labor of Labor have overstepped their boundaries.

For Madera, there is a concern for the people who work with the company and the amount of time they take off, Marcinkowski said.

“We aren’t clock watchers, and so people work for us, who know that they can go to their kids’ lunchtime deal or they can go to a soccer game or something that starts early without having to worry about clocking in or clocking out,” he said.

“As long as they’re getting their job done, we don’t really care.”

Because companies are to be compliant with the new ruling, there have to be implemented systems in place to ensure workers get paid the hours they work, which more than likely has to be automated systems, he said.

The new regulations also double the cost of what employers are paying for the

Beth Bridges, chairwoman of the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce, speaks about the Federal Labor Standards Act overtime regulations during a news conference on Monday at the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce. people who work for them, Marcinkowski said.

“I think this is a critical piece that people don’t understand about this change.

Whether you’re in San Francisco, Chicago, New York or Lubbock, Texas, or some of our rural communities, it’s the same rule,” he said.

The one-size-fits-all approach to the law is something that the Department of Labor has overlooked and has the potential to cripple a lot of small businesses, Marcinkowski said.

It will prevent employers from hiring and will also put a lot of people on standby when it comes to adding new positions, Marcinkowski said.

Job descriptions will have to change because they will need to fit into

the requirement of overtime rules, he said. Their job descriptions will classify whether they can or cannot be exempt from the new set of rules.

“If your job description doesn’t fit those rules, you could find yourself in big trouble,” Marcinkowski said.

As it stands now there will be an estimated $1.2 billion negative impact economically, Bridges said. That estimate, however, is just to traditional small businesses.

The most overlooked group of people will be the nonprofit organizations and churches, Bridges said.

Goodwill Industries of N o r t h w e s t Te x a s C h i e f Executive Officer Robin Raney’s organization helps individuals with barriers find employment. With the

new regulations on overtime pay, she said they will have to find ways to spend less money while having more responsibilities.

“For many years Goodwill has paid 100 percent of our employees’ healthcare premiums, but the 2015 mandate that reclassified employees working 30 to 39 and a half hours as full time employees resulted in an incremental $225,000 in healthcare premiums for Goodwill,” Raney said.

With more than 200 employees in their Lubbock system, there has been a 20 percent increase in the amount of money they paid for their premiums, which continually adds on to incremental expenses, Raney said. Looking into 2017, they are proposing decreasing healthcare plans for their employees, because of the continual rise in cost.

There is a concern that employees may not be able to afford their healthcare, she said.

“It’s concerning that he overtime rule may have been enacted without an in-depth review of the overall economic impact,” Raney said.

Once the rule is in effect, Goodwill’s annual payroll will increase by an estimated $155,000, she said.

“Change occurs when the pain of change is less than the pain of staying the same,” Raney said. “Every business leader can tell you the price of this change.” @MichaelCantuDT

Airport bans Galaxy Note 7 The Department of Transportation issued a statement to all owners of Samsung Galaxy Note 7, notifying them of a

nationwide ban from airplanes.

The ban went into full effect on Saturday, according to a City of Lubbock news release.

The ban states those with the smartphone device may not transport it on their person, in carry-on baggage or in checked baggage on flights to or from the United States.

At this time, officials at the Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport are requesting owners of the device to not bring them to the airport, according to the release.

This ban stems from owners of the device experiencing incidents of it heating up and exploding, according to the release. The explosions were with both recalled and original pieces of the device.

Art Spiegelman to speak at Tech

By DAVID GAY L a Vida Editor

Grammy winners, Pulitzer Prize winners and National Book Award winners. Those prestigious accolades are only some of the awards participants of the Presidential Lecture & Performance Series have received for the past 11 years.

The Presidential Lecture & Performance Series has been bringing in different speakers and performers who bring culture and diversity to Texas Tech, Jo Moore, director of the Presidential Lecture & Performance Series, said.

As a result of the series, diverse acts have come through the university that the Tech or the Lubbock community would not otherwise see, Moore said. Through the bookings of these lecturers and performers, the participants have to fit a large demographic.

“It’s a little tricky because our demographic is 18 to 80. It’s not very narrow,” Moore said. “I try to balance it out. I take (suggestions) into consideration. I want them to have enough of a mass appeal and a glimmer of name recognition or genre.”

With every performer or lecturer in the series, the organizers participate in some sort of outreach program with the students at Tech, Moore said. They put on a master class or have a Q&A session with students in the university.

Moore said outreach is the most important part of

the lecturers and performers coming for the series.

“You have got people who are at the top of their game who get to interface with faculty and students in these classes,” Moore said.

The first lecturer of this year’s Presidential Lecture & Performance Series is Art Spiegelman, a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist.

(The series) teaches students (and community members) to think outside the box and to have a more eclectic view of the world.

JO MOORE DIRECTOR OF SERIES Spiegelman won the Pulitzer Prize for his graphic novel “Maus” in 1992. Spiegelman said “Maus” is about his family’s experience in World War II as Jews in Poland.

Instead of choosing to use people in his graphic novel, Spiegelman said he chose to use cats and mice.

“It sounds very unpromising but it reached people in a way that comics were not usually received,” Spiegelman said. “They realized that it was literature.”

“Maus” changed the way people look at him, Spiegelman said, and made him more respectable even though comics are not as respected as writings or paintings.

Because Spiegelman lectures regularly throughout

the year, this event came up at the right time, he said.

Spiegelman will lecture on the importance of comics in society.

“Comics are effective because they work in a way that our minds work,” Spiegelman said. “We think in very small clusters of language, so comics can go deeper than any other type of media that might use writing and pictures.

As a result, it has a strong impact on us. That is how we are taking in more and more each second.”

Moore said Spiegelman is collaborating with the Honors College as a part of the outreach. He will be participating in a moderated discussion with the Open Teaching Concept.

Scott Lacefield, associate director of the Office of Communications & Marketing, said the Presidential Lecture & Performance Series is important for students and their experience at Tech.

“These acts could bring something to their experience at Texas Tech that they have never had,” Lacefield said. “It’s the up-close and personal nature of it. You are in a small theater. They are on your campus. It’s not like you have to go all over town.

It’s right down the street from your residence hall.”

Moore said the series is a cultural gateway into the university for community members as well as students and faculty. “(The series) teaches students (and community members) to think outside the box and to have a more eclectic view of the world,” Moore said. @DavidGayDT

NBC News fires ‘Today’ host Billy Bush after lewd Donald Trump tape airs NEW YORK (AP) — NBC News on Monday fired “Today” show host Billy Bush, who was caught on tape in a vulgar conversation about women with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump before an “Access

Hollywood” appearance.

Bush was suspended at the morning show two days after contents of the 2005 tape were reported on Oct. 7. Once it became clear he wouldn’t be back, NBC and Bush’s representatives had been

negotiating terms of his exit.

On the tape, Bush is heard laughing as Trump talks about fame enabling him to grope and try to have sex with women not his wife. Trump has denied groping women, and Bush

later said he was “embarrassed and ashamed” by what was caught on tape.

NBC made the announcement of his firing in a note from “Today” show top executive Noah Oppenheim to his staff. Oppenheim called

STUDIO

Before coming back home to Lubbock, De voge said she worked in Branson, Missouri, in her own recording studio.

Devoge also worked in local studios like Brazos Recording Studio and Don Caldwell Studios.

“I was getting ready to leave Branson and come back to Lubbock when I heard about (Crossroads Recording Studio),” Devoge said.

The Crossroads Recording Studio works with professors from the music college to record some of their ensembles like the Celtic ensemble, Devoge said. The theater department also makes use of the studio by recording its songs from musicals.

It also serves as a way for students to further their

education by recording or learning how to record and mix tracks, Peoples said.

The studio has recorded student musicians like Jenny Dale Lord, Alex Sanchez and the South Texas Hippies, Devoge said. It has recorded a variety of music genres ranging from rap and country to Italian folk music, she said.

“It is something different and creative that you have the opportunity to use that you wouldn’t otherwise get to do,” Devoge said.

The studio is branching out to help students interested in making films or documentaries, Devoge said. The studio has the ability to convert films, so they can be submitted to film festivals like the Sundance Film Festival.

Currently, Devoge said she is working with KTTZTV on a documentary about global warming called “Between Earth and Sky.” The Crossroads Recording Studio recently re ceived a grant to build a separate mixing room, Peoples said, and he hopes more students take advantage of this resource.

“It’s about having an outlet that allows you to express yourself,” Devoge said. “You have the opportunity to actually do something and find out what you can do.”

Students, faculty and staff can visit www.library. ttu.edu/crossroadsrecordingstudio to look up the studio schedule and reserve time to record.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 The studio was completed and opened in February 2012, Peoples said.

The first project the studio worked on was an album for Jenny Dale Lord, a local musician, who was a student at Tech at that time.

Peoples used the studio to make his very own album titled “Nivedita.”

“It’s about this woman named Margaret Noble who leaves England and moves to India to start the very first girl school,” Peoples said. “It’s sort of a musical biography.”

Amy Devoge was hired at the studio from the beginning as a sound engineer, Peoples said.

Social media prevents meaningful relationships

O

ut of all the columns I’ve written and have yet to write, this must be the one column that will anger the masses.

Millennials will band together and rise up as one against me, a lowly opinions columnist who is out of touch with popular culture.

OK, probably not. The worst thing that could potentially happen to me is some dumb Facebook meme gets created and shared or liked or whatever you do on Facebook.

Depending on who is asked, social media is e i t h e r m a n ’s g r e a t e s t achievement in recent history or his worst.

I tend to fall into the latter group.

Alex Olges is a freshman journalism major from Humble.

Let’s start with Snapchat. I will never understand the appeal of that app.

It just sucks as a way to communicate because it’s completely inconvenient with its time limit gimmick.

Snapchat is only good for one thing: sexy time.

Honestly, why else would someone need a time limit on a picture he sends?

As a side note, if someone needs a time limit because he can’t trust whomever he’s sending pictures to, he shouldn’t be sending the pictures

in the first place. It’s super easy to screenshot a Snapchat, after all.

I used Snapchat when it first came out and got super frustrated with my friends trying to have a conversation through it.

I would be given five to 10 seconds to view whatever a message contains; I’d either forget what was said or accidentally tap on the message and miss it entirely.

Since then, there’s been actual messaging introduced. But why would I want to use Snapchat when texting or iMessage work just fine?

I don’t get it. And don’t get me started on the “Discover” section. There’s a million and one news apps

that do it better. Snapchat tries to do too many things and then fails to be great at all of those things.

What about Facebook?

Well, Facebook is a mess.

It started out as a way for people to connect to distant friends or family. Now it is the graveyard of stale memes and so-called friends.

Facebook might actually work if people used it correctly, but instead everyone likes to add as many friends as possible.

I could be wrong but I somehow doubt most people actually have 400 friends.

And I haven’t even mentioned Facebook’s continuing violations of privacy.

Facebook doesn’t care about any of its users; it only cares about money.

Just a few months ago, it was discovered the Facebook app was possibly listening to some user ’s microphones at all times.

Naturally, Facebook denied this, but I wouldn’t take my chances.

My major issue with social media in general is I simply don’t care. I don’t care about anyone’s dog, his new car or how awful his parents are. I don’t care because I don’t know these people.

Perhaps I’m an anomaly, but I keep up with the people I care about. I text, call or even meet up in person with the people I care about.

I don’t need some stupid website to keep up with my friends and fam-

ily for me. Not only is that careless, but it is also a little bit sad.

I may sound like an old man when I say this, but I don’t like the way the world has changed since social media has developed to what it is today.

It’s been pointed out many times before that everyone is always on their phones now.

We seem to be trading tangible human relationships for intangible ones, and I don’t think that is a road we really want to go down.

Students must know what is actually in their backpacks

A

ccording to NPR’s Ed section, “Tools of the Trade,” the modern school backpack came into being long after they were used for outdoor activities.

L e e H a l e ’s c o l u m n , “From ‘Book Strap’ To ‘Burrito’: A History Of The School Backpack,” tells how Gerry Cunningham — the mind behind Gerry Outdoors in Boulder, Colorado — changed the world of backpacks by introducing the idea of using zippers and nylon on them.

The article goes on to say Cunningham designed a rucksack — the precursor of today’s school backpack — that would suit his needs more than those available to him in 1938.

It was not until 1969 that the backpack came into use for school books for the first time.

Parents know it is a required item on most lists of stuff children must

Tanya Jones is a junior English major from Lubbock.

have for school.

Parents are also well indoctrinated into the do’s and don’ts of packing their kids’ rucksacks.

They, hopefully, know the 10 percent rule.

That rule states the maximum weight a child should carry in his bag is 10 percent of the child’s body weight.

We nontraditional students over a certain age, missed that class.

Many other students appear to have forgotten that rule or skipped that class as well.

I’m always amazed at the weight a person is willing to put on his back.

I’m even more amazed I would carry as much as I have in the past. Sure,

some of you muscle-bound sorts out there, built like bricks and able to hoist tall buildings with a single yank, may get away with what look like 50- to 75-pound packs.

Carrying a pack around which is heavier than what is right for your weight can have some pretty serious results.

The person who weighs 94 pounds fully clothed and soaking wet doesn’t stand a chance with that weight on his shoulders.

I know some professors require students to bring their books every single class day.

When you’re running an attendance marathon two days a week because

you’ve tried efficiency on for size and realized that four or more classes a day is a great idea, it ceases to be so smart a move when you consider how many books, supplies and other things you need to tote around throughout that day.

Do you recall the scene in “Snowden” when the military doctor tells Snowden if he lands on his legs again they’d turn to powder?

He had framed that bit of wisdom by explaining the reality of a person of Snowden’s build carrying a pack around that weighs almost as much as he does.

Carrying a pack around which is heavier than what is right for your wei ght c an have some pretty serious results.

Even if you’re not going through basic military training with the requirement that you complete

a forced march with a 110-pound sack on your back, you do need to take some precautions when packing for school.

According to studies done by researchers from Tel Aviv, Israel, a backpack that is too heavy can cause muscular and skeletal damage as well as damage to nerves found in the neck and shoulders that are needed for use of our hands.

An article published in ScienceDaily on Feb. 21, 2013, discusses some of the implications of the previously mentioned study.

The article, entitled, “Heavy backpacks may damage nerves, muscles and skeleton,” includes information provided by American Friends of Tel Aviv University.

Some ways to get around the need to carry tons and tons of stuff on your back is to plan to carry only what is needed

for each class.

Schedule only two classes per day. Whenever possible, use a tablet or phone to accommodate class materials.

Find a safe place to leave heavier items like laptops and other bulkier items, which are not required for each class.

Plan your schedule so that there is time in between classes to drop off one class’s books and other items and pick up those needed for the next class.

Also, don’t carry the backpack for long periods of time.

Frequently setting the pack down will help reduce stress to your body.

The question ‘What’s in your backpack?” should be answered by every student to ensure he isn’t setting himself up for irreversible physical issues in future. tjones@dailytoreador.com

Former general pleads guilty in false statements probe WASHINGTON (AP) — A former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff pleaded guilty Monday to making false statements during an investigation into a leak of classified information about a covert cyberattack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Retired Marine Gen. James Cartwright entered the plea at a hearing before U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, convened just a few hours after the Justice Department announced the charges.

The plea ends a Justice Department investigation that began after the 2012 leak to reporters of information about use of a computer virus called Stuxnet that disabled equipment the Iranians were using to enrich uranium.

The offense carries a maximum of five years in prison, but under a plea agreement, the government is recommending a sentence in the range of zero to six months. Cartwright is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 17, and

it will be up to Leon to decide the sentence.

Cartwright, 67, falsely told investigators that he did not provide or confirm classified information contained in a news article and, later, in a book by New York Times journalist David Sanger, according to charging documents unsealed by prosecutors.

Neither the book nor the classified subject is identified in court papers.

But Sanger wrote in his 2012 book “Confront and Conceal” about the clas-

Tech Pokémon celebrates 20 years of franchise

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

This year, the Pokémon franchise celebrates its 20th anniversary, with new games “Pokémon Sun” and “Pokémon Moon” around the corner.

According to the History website, Pokémon was created by Japanese game designer Satoshi Tajiri, with the first paired games, “Pocket Monsters Red” and Pocket Monsters Green,” released in Japan the year 1996. They were developed

by Game Freak and published by Nintendo.

The games were met with massive success, according to the website, and released in the United States two years later under the titles “Pokémon Red” and “Pokémon Blue.”

Since then, the series has become a multimedia franchise that includes a long running TV series and a trading card game.

Texas Tech has its own organization, Tech Pokémon, dedicated to love of the franchise.

Charles Ball, president of Tech Pokémon and a junior geosciences major from

Midland, said the organization was started by his friend Brice Petty with the intent of having a place for Pokémon fans to meet and form friendships.

“Yes, we do have tournaments, and it does get competitive,” Ball said. “But it’s more or less ‘have fun and be social.’ That’s the main goal of it, and that’s what we’re trying to keep it going with.”

Ball said he joined the club as a freshman after a friend showed him information about it on Facebook. Tech Pokémon has approximately 40 to 50 members, and about 30 members regularly attend weekly meetings.

One member of the organization, Colin Jones, a freshman history major from Buenos Aires, Argen-

tina, said Pokémon is still a phenomenon after 20 years because of its ability to draw in newcomers while keeping veterans through maintaining its core mechanics.

“In X and Y, you had the idea of mega evolution,” Jones said, “and then, it’s like ‘wow, that’s so cool’ and everything’s different, but then they’re not changing the basics of the game.”

Jones said this allows for people to still enjoy games in the series that are older than the ones they first played.

To celebrate Pokémon’s 20th Anniversary, Ball said the club is hosting an ongoing tournament for its members, with the prizes being five autographed Ash Ketchum hats. Ball received the hats when he met the character ’s first English voice actress, Veronica Taylor, at the Permian Basin Anime & Gaming Expo in Odessa.

“It’s pretty cool,” Ball said. “Especially if you’re just a fan of Pokémon in general. The original voice actress, to get an autograph or memorabilia from her is pretty cool.”

Members of the club expressed excitement for the upcoming seventh generation of Pokémon.

Paul Ruland, a senior kinesiology major from Fort Worth, said he was looking forward to seeing the new region the upcoming games are set to take place in. It is based on real-world Hawaii.

“I’m just excited to see what the Alola region’s going to look like,” Ruland said. “How it’s going to be decorated.”

Esai Sandoval, a junior pre-nursing major from Olton, said he was excited for the GX cards feature of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

After 20 years of the franchise being in the hearts of numerous fans, Sandoval said he wishes to thank the developers of Pokémon.

“Thank you for making this wonderful family game-slash-show,” Sandoval said, “and just bringing people together.”

Austria to demolish house of Adolf Hitler’s birth permanently prevent the recognition and the symbolism of the building.”

Ministry spokesman KarlHeinz Grundboeck said that means that except for its foundations, nothing will be left of the house in the western town of Braunau and that a new structure will be erected in its place.

A ministry statement emailed to The Associated Press quoted Sobotka saying he wants to ensure that any association with Hitler is eliminated at the site, adding that he could conceive of it being repurposed to house either government or social agency offices.

The statement said the commission had recommended against leaving the site empty, which could be interpreted as an attempted “denial of Austrian history.”

VIENNA (AP) — The house where Adolf Hitler was born will be torn down and replaced with a new building that has no association with the Nazi dictator, Austria’s government announced Monday as it moved to eliminate the property’s pull as a place of pilgrimage for neo-Nazis.

The plan still has to be formalized in legislation and voted on in Parliament.

But the Interior Ministry said demolition was recommended by a governmentappointed commission.

With the Social Democratic and centrist People’s Party in the majority, and most opposition parties expected to support the plan, passage was likely no more than a formality.

Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka said that “a thorough architectural remodeling is necessary to

NORTH AMERICAN

launched formal legal procedures to dispossess the home’s owner after she had repeatedly refused to sell the building or to allow renovations that would reduce its symbolic impact as Hitler’s birthplace — and its draw for admirers of the Fuhrer.

The statement said the Interior Ministry planned to finalize a draft law making the house state property before putting it to a vote in Parliament by the end of the year.

Vienna’s Jewish community and a government-supported anti-Nazi research center support tearing down the imposing three-story yellow house, where Hitler was born on April 20, 1889.

But some historians argue that the house and the apartment inside where the Hitler family lived briefly should be preserved specifically because they are among the few

surviving structures linked to the Nazi leader.

A house in nearby Leonding, where Hitler lived as a teenager, is now used to store coffins for the town cemetery.

There, the tombstone marking the grave of Hitler’s parents, another pilgrimage site for neoNazis, was removed last year at the request of a descendant.

A school that Hitler attended in Fischlham, also near Braunau, displays a plaque condemning his crimes against humanity.

The underground bunker in Berlin where Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945, was demolished and the site left vacant until the East German government built an apartment complex around it in the late 1980s.

The apartments overlook the German capital’s monument to victims of the Holocaust.

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — “Democracy Now!” reporter Amy Goodman won’t face a riot charge stemming from her coverage of a protest against construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota, with a judge saying Monday that there was no cause for it.

Judge John Grinsteiner refused to sign off on the misdemeanor riot charge, which prosecutor Ladd Erickson had pursued after dismissing a misdemeanor criminal trespass charge against the journalist on Friday. However, authorities would not rule out the possibility Goodman could face other charges.

Erickson has said Goodman was acting like a protester when she reported on a clash between protesters and pipeline security last month. Her defense attorney, Tom Dickson, maintains Goodman was doing her job.

The protests have drawn thousands of people to the area where Texasbased Energy Transfer Partners is trying to wrap up construction on the $3.8 billion, 1,200-mile pipeline from North Dakota to Illinois. Opponents of the pipeline worry about potential effects on drinking water on the Standing Rock Sioux reservation and farther downstream,

as well as destruction of cultural artifacts.

Goodman is one about 140 people who have been charged in recent weeks with interfering with the pipeline’s construction in North Dakota.

After the judge’s decision Monday, Erickson referred questions to Morton County Sheriff ’s Office spokeswoma n D o n n e l l P r e s k e y.

Asked whether authorities would pursue other charges, Preskey said, “It’s all under review.”

She would not elaborate.

Goodman told reporters outside the courthouse that Grinsteiner’s decision was a “vindication for all journalists and a vindication for everyone.”

Dickson said prosecutors are wrong to continue to pursue charges against Goodman.

“The first charge was frivolous and the second charge was even more frivolous,” Dickson said.

“Enough is enough. They need to let it go.”

An arrest warrant was issued for Goodman after she reported on a clash on Sept. 3, when Standing Rock Sioux officials said crews bulldozed several sites of “significant cultural and historic value” on private land.

Energy Transfer Partners denies those allegations.

Phil Collins announces comeback summer tour LONDON (AP) — There’ll be no early retirement for star singer Phil Collins.

The 65-year-old former Genesis frontman Monday announced plans for gigs next summer in London, Paris and Cologne. The tour will be called: “Not Dead Yet, Live.”

He officially retired in 2002, but that didn’t last.

He last toured in 2007.

Collins told reporters in London he initially re-

tired to spend more time with his family but started to drink after his family split up.

“I’ve changed my mind,” he said of leaving the stage for good. “I’m living with my young kids.

They want me to go out on the road and do my thing, and why not?”

Collins says he’s not likely to play drums on tour but might try performing the introduction to “In the Air Tonight.”

Clown sightings cause hysteria, panic

By ARIANNA AVALLE Staff Writer

At college campuses across the nation, clown sightings have been causing students to panic. According to a Texas Tech news release, this clown hysteria is spreading all over the country and is risking to get out of proportion.

The first of these clownsightings dated back to Aug. 29 when residents of Greenville County, South Carolina, reported a person dressed like a clown trying to lure children into the woods.

Since then, a general panic has grown among the population, and people continue to report clown sightings. This situation has led to school lockdowns, more than a dozen of arrests and several false reports.

Dave Lewis, director of the Strategic Studies pro-

gram at Tech, said the clown episodes cannot be construed as terrorism, and it is important to distinguishing fear from terrorism.

“I think it is a passing fad.

Maybe it is because we live in such uncertain times, and people find almost anything frightening in this age,” Lewis said. “There is maybe an adrenaline thrill. The problem is when we start having our police force responding, and that takes them off doing other important things.”

The episode on the Tech campus shows the incredible power of social media and propaganda, he said.

The lesson that everybody should learn is to know the sources and to avoid blindly following anything that pops up on the newsfeed.

Lewis said this clown fear is damaging the business of many companies. The

Barnum and Bailey Circus people are upset because it uses clowns to try to entertain kids, and it cannot do it anymore. McDonald’s is suppressing its Ronald McDonald campaign.

“In my lifetime, clowns have always been a way to bring some humor and relieve some tension in the world,” Lewis said.

However, the current exploitation of clowns to incite fear is disappointing, he said.

Genesis Driggs, a junior interior design major from Caddo Mills, said she is scared of clowns because she had a bad experience when she was young.

One day she was at a circus with her family, when she was separated from her mom.

A clown picked her up, Driggs said, and started walking around with her. Although the clown was only trying to

ASSOCIATED PRESS

help, she was traumatized by this incident.

“It is very scary when they are silent but have an over-exaggerated expression painted on their face,” Driggs said.

When Driggs first found out about people dressing as clowns and carrying weapons, she said it felt like her nightmares were coming true.

“I think this clown sight-

ings started out as a promo for the remake of ‘It,’” Driggs said. “But then people jumped on the bandwagon, and it got out of hand. “ @DailyToreador

Comedian Amy Schumer’s Trump Memorial to nightclub fire that killed comments prompt boos, walkouts 100 delayed, incomplete construction TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Amy Schumer’s rant against Donald Trump apparently turned off some fans at her show in Tampa, Florida.

The comedian slammed the Republican presidential nominee and brought a fan who supported him onstage to question him about his decision.

She responded to people booing in the audience by telling them to leave if they didn’t like her opinions.

When some continued to boo, Schumer asked security to escort them out.

Schumer went on to discuss her strong support for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and

for gun control.

A reporter for the Tampa Bay Times who attended the show counted roughly about 200 people walking out over the comments.

Schumer responded to the controversy on Twitter on Monday with a note, “All love Tampa.”

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The opening of a memorial for a Rhode Island nightclub fire that killed 100 people more than a decade ago is being delayed and will not open this weekend as scheduled, organizers announced Monday.

The foundation working to build the memorial at the site of The Station fire said construction on the memorial is not ready, and it will instead be completed in the spring.

Gina Russo, a fire survivor and president of the group, said it was a tough decision, and the leadership of the effort did not want to upset the families of those who died. But she said too many things were unfinished at the site, including unfinished retaining walls, landscaping, paving, a gazebo-type structure, and gateway at

the entrance.

“Construction is moving along. It’s just not where it’s going to need to be for Sunday,” she said. “It’s hard to hear and it’s hard to make the decision, because mentally I was ready. But it’s not where it needs to be for these families. They deserve for it to be 100 percent.”

The February 2003 blaze in West Warwick was started when pyrotechnics for the rock band Great White set fire to flammable foam inside the club. More than 200 people were injured in the fire.

Russo said the good news is that the foundation has reached its $2 million fundraising goal, and could even surpass it. That would leave more money to maintain the site in perpetuity.

Former Gov. Don Carcieri, co-chairman of the fundrais-

ing effort, said in a news release that the foundation was grateful to those who have donated to the memorial effort. “ I t ’s i m p o r t a n t t h a t the park be fully complete to respect the memory of those who died there,” he said. “The full effect of this unique sanctuary will best be realized when both building and landscaping are complete.”

Russo said there were a variety of factors that delayed the work, including some materials were in high demand or could not be shipped or delivered on time. Much of the work going into the memorial is being done by volunteers, she said.

Russo said a chain link fence that surrounds the site will remain in place while construction is completed.

Harvard museum to showcase older pieces CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

(AP) — As one of the world’s oldest museums dedicated to anthropology turns 150, it’s undergoing some big changes to showcase its significant role in developing the discipline.

Leaders of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University hinted this month at changes to come when they trotted out — for one day only — some of its quirkier, rarely seen pieces as part of a birthday bash marking the day in 1866 when philanthropist George Peabody committed $150,000 to help found the museum.

Among the curiosities was a grizzly bear claw necklace from Meriwether Lewis and William Clark’s expedition to the Pacific coast and a grotesque, 19th century “mermaid” made of papier-mâché, wood and fish parts that showman P.T. Barnum once took on a national tour to fanfare.

The “FeeJee Mermaid” and other items long sitting in storage will find a permanent home in public view as part of a new exhibition exploring the Peabody’s role in anthropology, said Castle McLaughlin, a museum curator.

When it opens in April,

“All the World is Here: Harvard’s Peabody Museum and the Invention of American Anthropology” will feature roughly 600 objects. Officials hope to show a greater range of the museum’s more than 1 million items, only a fraction of which are on display now.

“Harvard was very much in the business of developing anthropology,” said Jane Pickering, head of Harvard’s science and culture museums. “It’s a really interesting occasion to reflect on the Peabody and its role. Within its field, it’s incredible. The size and quality of its collection is truly astonishing.”

Deadly feral cat poop causes rift in Hawaii

“Time is fleeting, yearbooks are forever.”

HONOLULU (AP) — Two wildlife issues have collided in Hawaii, pitting one group of animal defenders against another in an impassioned debate.

The point of contention?

Deadly cat poop and the feral felines that produce it.

Federal researchers believe feces from the legions of stray cats roaming Hawaii is spreading a disease that is killing Hawaiian monk seals, some of the world’s most endangered marine mammals. Some conservationists advocate euthanizing those cats that no one wants, and that has cat

lovers up in arms.

“It’s a very difficult, emotional issue, ” said state Sen. Mike Gabbard, chairman of a committee that earlier this year heard a proposal to ban the feeding of feral cats on state land. The panel abandoned the bill after an outcry.

“It struck a nerve in our community,” he said.

The problem stems from a parasite common in cats that can cause toxoplasmosis, a disease that has killed at least five female Hawaiian monk seals and three males since 2001, according to the National Oceanic and Atmo-

spheric Administration.

“While eight seals may not sound like a lot of animals, it actually has pretty large ramifications for an endangered population where there’s only about 1,300 seals in existence at this point in time,” said Michelle Barbieri, veterinary medical officer for NOAA’s Hawaiian monk seal research program.

Scientists believe monk seals become exposed by ingesting contaminated water or prey.

Stray cats, meanwhile, have no predators in Hawaii and have ballooned in numbers across the state.

Tech begins second half of football season

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

The Texas Tech Red Raiders are at the midpoint of their season and currently have a 3-3 record.

The Red Raiders started off their season defeating the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks 69-17 but then faced a loss to Arizona State 55-68.

Later, they had a two-game win streak against Louisiana Tech and Kansas, but are now on a losing streak after facing Kansas State and West Virginia.

On Saturday, Tech faces No. 16 Oklahoma and then travels to Fort Worth to face off against the TCU Horned Frogs. After that, Tech plays its final home game against Texas on Nov. 5 and plays against Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Baylor on the road to close out the season.

“Yeah, there is a lot to fix. There is no doubt,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said.

“Just midway point, reassess what we’re doing, how we’re doing it as far as practice goes. Personnel-wise, who we’re playing, I think we took a look at really everything on Sunday, and trying to figure out what we need to tighten up and who needs to be playing and what changes we need to make in this last part of the season to be the most effective.”

Kingsbury, after the loss to West Virginia, said the team’s performance was the

DUNCAN STANLEY/The Daily Toreador

Texas Tech players listen to the “Matador Song” after Tech’s 48-17 loss to West Virginia on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium. Tech has two home games remaining on its schedule. worst he has ever seen. Tech lost to the Mountaineers 1748. He also said he was not sure on why the team came out flat during the game, but the team will be doing different things at practice.

Tech is 6-14 throughout history against the Sooners, with Tech’s last win coming in 2011 when Tech won 4138. Oklahoma is currently on a three-game win streak.

The Sooners started off their season losing to Houston 33-23, but went on to defeat the University of Louisiana at Monroe 59-17. They took another loss to Ohio State 45-24, but ever since, they have beaten TCU, Texas and Kansas State.

So far this season, Tech has scored 293 points overall, which is the highest in the Big 12 Conference, according

to ESPN. However, the Red Raiders have also allowed 241 points overall, the highest in the Big 12.

For the conference, Tech has scored 110 points, which is the fourth-most. On defense, Tech has allowed 111 points which is the thirdworst in the conference.

At this point in the season, junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes II has 2,579

passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, five interceptions, 152 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns.

Sophomore receiver Jonathan Giles leads the wide receiver position with 43 receptions, 750 receiving yards and nine receiving touchdowns. Giles averages 125 receiving yards per game, according to Tech athletics.

“I feel like it falls on us a

lot, especially as a group, we always like to make plays against our receiver group,” Giles said. “But also we have our outside group. We still have Ben Lauderdale, Tony Brown, Quan Shorts, so we still have great players at the outside position. We’ve just got to continue to get better each and every day and get ready for OU.” The TCU Horned Frogs started their season with a win against South Dakota State, but faced a loss against Arkansas the following week.

TCU then went back to win against Iowa State and SMU, but were defeated by Oklahoma. It closed off the midpoint of the season by defeating Kansas last week 24-23.

This week the Horned Frogs face off against West Virginia before hosting Tech on Oct. 29. Throughout history, Tech is 30-25-3 against TCU, but the Horned Frogs have had two back-to-back wins in the past two years.

For Tech, one of the main things is to minimize the penalties, junior receiver Cameron Batson said.

“We definitely have to cut out penalties,” Batson said.

“We have to be more physical in all aspects of the game, whether it’s on the line, or just receivers out blocking.

It’s just the mentality, you have to go out there each and every day, and with the game time, you can’t let those lights get the best of you.” @JackDensmoreDT

TCU game set for 2:30 p.m. kickoff

Cowboys’ Bryant ready to return

On Monday afternoon, the Big 12 Conference announced the kickoff times for each conference game scheduled for the ninth week of the regular season.

Texas Tech and TCU received the 2:30 p.m. time slot for their Oct. 29 meeting, according to a Big 12 news release.

The matchup between the Red Raiders and the Horned Frogs will be broadcast on either ABC, ESPN or ESPN2 and will mark the 59th time in history that Tech and TCU meet, according to the Tech Athletics website.

FRISCO (AP) — Dez Bryant should be ready to return from a knee injury when Dallas comes back from the bye for a key game against Philadelphia in the suddenly difficult NFC East.

When the Eagles visit on Oct. 30, the Cowboys will be that much closer to having to decide whether Tony Romo gets his job back from Dak Prescott, the rookie quarterback with a five-game winning streak.

Of course, Dallas has this touchy subject because of a surge to the second-best record in the NFC entirely without Romo, sidelined by a preseason back injury, and minus 2014 All-Pro receiver

rently unranked but TCU leads the Red Raiders with a 4-2 record this season.

Tech, on the other hand, has a 3-3 record. This season, TCU lost to Arkansas in double overtime with a final score of 41-38 and to Oklahoma, 52-46. The Horned Frogs have beaten South Dakota State, Iowa State, SMU and Kansas.

Although Tech has a 30-25-3 record against the Horned Frogs, TCU has won the past two games against the Red Raiders.

Tech’s last win against TCU came in 2013 when the Red Raiders won 2010, according to the Tech

Athletics website.

Before the Red Raiders and Horned Frogs meet, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury has to try and get his team in a position to bounce back from its third loss of the year to No. 12 West Virginia, which occurred on Saturday.

Kingsbury will attempt to do so when the Red Raiders host the Oklahoma Sooners at 7 p.m. Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium. Oklahoma junior quarterback Baker Mayfield makes his return to Lubbock after leaving the Tech football program after his freshman year in 2013. @JackDensmoreDT

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “The leadership, that starts with me,” Stice said.

“I need to do better in whatever role I have to help this team be successful as well as the other seniors in the locker room and everybody else in their role. Everybody needs to do their job to a higher level and do whatever we can to compete at a higher level come game time.”

Stice said he could not have predicted the outcome of Saturday’s game based on last week’s practice.

The team did not seem complacent last week during practice, Stice said, and Tech’s performance last Saturday was because of poor execution.

“Mentally and physically, as I mentioned, we’ve got to continue to raise the standard of what’s accepted, however good or bad that you feel a teammate or yourself performed to get ready for that game, everything’s got to in crease,” Stice said. “Every day leading up to this

next game, there needs to be a sense of urgency and increased accountability.”

Tech is starting out the week by focusing on what went wrong last game, and as the week progresses, it will focus on the upcoming game against Oklahoma.

Sophomore wide receiver Jonathan Giles said in order to fix last weekend’s performance the players will have to continue to push themselves to become better every day in practice.

“We get better each and every day at practice,” Giles said. “Get ready for OU because there’s another big opponent coming up, and we know how big that game is. So, just getting better each and every day, starting today.”

Oklahoma senior quarterback Baker Mayfield will be returning to Jones AT&T Stadium for the first time since he directed the Red Raiders under center in 2013, according to the Oklahoma Athletics website.

Tech will be in for good competition against Oklahoma’s offense. Stice said

he is looking forward to the opportunity to battle against Oklahoma’s offense.

“It’s going to be a great chance to compete on Saturday,” Stice said. “There’s nothing we’re not looking forward to. It will be a great test for us, and it comes back to doing what we can control, taking care of getting ourselves in the best position to make a play, executing the scheme.

There’s nothing wrong with what we’ve been. Coaching hasn’t been the issue. It’s been executing what we’ve been receiving, and that’s what we need to really focus on this week.”

Oklahoma is ranked No. 16 heading into the game this Saturday.

The Oklahoma Sooners played Kansas State last week and won 38-17. The Sooners defense has performed well throughout the season, Kingsbury said.

“I thought last week against Kansas State they played very well,” Kingsbury said. “Good front. They’ve got a couple of those guys back that didn’t play last week.

Good linebackers, athletic,

Between now and Saturday afternoon, Stice said the players will need to improve in every area of play in order to perform at a higher level than they did on Saturday.

Additionally, Stice said accountability of teammates needs to progress throughout this week’s practice.

“There’s got to be increased accountability with everybody in that locker room,” Stice said. “There’s no two ways around that.

Everybody has to say, ‘Look,

we’re in this together. We’ve got to play for each other, and know that everything’s out in front of us. We can continue to improve and get to where we need to be. We just needed to increase in every aspect of the game and continue to improve on all phases.’” @A_HernandezDT

Cleveland Indians top Blue Jays, lead ALCS 3-0 TORONTO (AP) — Jason Kipnis and Mike Napoli homered, and Cleveland’s bullpen pulled off its most impressive feat yet in these American League playoffs, taking over after Trevor Bauer’s firstinning exit and holding off the Toronto Blue Jays in a 4-2 victory Monday night that moved the Indians within one win of their first pennant since 1997.

Six relievers combined for 25 outs and 128 pitches, limiting Toronto to two runs and seven hits as the Indians took a 3-0 lead in the AL Championship Series. Unbeaten in six playoff games this year, Cleveland can complete its second consecutive sweep on Tuesday.

Indians ace Corey Kluber is expected to start Game 4

on short rest after Bauer’s drone-related finger injury created more upheaval in a rotation that’s been short-handed all postseason. Bauer faced only four batters before being pulled after his right pinkie began dripping blood.

Enter the Cleveland relievers, who helped the Indians to a Division Series sweep over Boston and have them on the verge of another one against Toronto.

After Bauer left with two down in the first, the final 25 Toronto outs were distributed as follows: four each for Dan Otero and Jeff Manship, three for Zach McAllister, five each for Bryan Shaw and Cody Allen, and four for Andrew Miller.

GRAPEVINE (AP) — The smallest Power Five conference is not getting any larger. The Big 12 is staying at 10 schools.

After three months of analyzing, vetting and interviewing possible new members, Big 12 leaders on Monday took expansion off their agenda.

“This was not a decision to not expand,” Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. “This was an endorsement and reinvestment in the 10 that we had.”

Oklahoma President David Boren said the decision was unanimous and no specific schools were discussed or voted on during five hours or so of expansion talk while Big 12 presidents and chancellors met Sunday night and Monday.

Boren, the chairman of the Big 12 board of directors and the only president who

has been in the league since its inception in 1996, insisted he has never seen “such a unified sense of purpose on the board.”

Texas President Greg Fenves said 10 is the right number for the league.

“It promotes a competitive balance and allows for a round-robin schedule in the different sports, which is best for our student-athletes,” Fenves said. “This is the right way to ensure a strong conference moving forward.”

Conference officials held interviews in September with Air Force and Colorado State from the Mountain West; Central Florida, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Houston, South Florida, SMU and Tulane from the American Athletic Conference; Rice from Conference USA; and BYU, which is a football independent with its other sports in

the West Coast Conference.

Moving into a Power Five conference for those schools would mean tens of millions of dollars more revenue per year, along with greater exposure and prestige.

Houston athletic director Hunter Yurachek said the Big 12’s decision “is not just about the University of Houston and the Big 12 Conference, it’s about the evolving landscape of collegiate athletics. It does not, and will not, deter our mission of building champions for life.”

UConn President Susan Herbst said going through the process was a positive experience and it gave her a better understanding of where UConn stands and what it has to offer.

“Most of the schools they were talking to were in our conference,” she said. “I think that shows, without question,

that our conference plays at their level and are athletically and academically appropriate to be a Power Five.”

Boren once called the Big 12 “psychologically disadvantaged” as the smallest Power Five league and the only one without a football championship game.

“The circumstances have radically changed,” Boren explained Monday when asked about the comment he first made in June 2015.

Boren said his interest in expansion was tied to his desire for the Big 12 to start a television network like the ones the Big Ten, Southeastern Conference and Pac-12 have and the one the Atlantic Coast Conference is on target to start with ESPN in 2019.

Once it was determined that the market was not there for a network, his interest in expansion cooled.

Johnson, Cardinals roll past listless Jets 28-3 Monday GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — David Johnson rushed for 111 yards and three touchdowns, and the Arizona Cardinals shut down the listless New York Jets 28-3 on Monday night.

Johnson scored on runs of 58, 2 and 2 yards while becoming the first player to rush for three scores against the Jets since LeSean McCoy did it five years ago.

The Cardinals (3-3) won their second in a row to climb back to .500. New York (1-5) lost its fourth straight in a rough return to Arizona for Todd Bowles, who was

defensive coordinator for the Cardinals for two seasons before getting the Jets coaching job two years ago.

The Jets’ Ryan Fitzpatrick was 16 of 31 for 174 yards and was benched in favor of Geno Smith after New York’s longest drive of the night ended in an interception in the end zone late in the third quarter. Smith’s lone series at quarterback ended when he was intercepted by Tyrann Mathieu with 4:20 to play.

Arizona’s Carson Palmer , back after missing the 49ers game with a concussion, completed 23 of 34

passes for 213 yards and left the game with a hamstring strain after throwing a 9-yard TD pass to Michael Floyd with 8:20 remaining.

Arizona scored in the first quarter for the first time this season on the second time Johnson touched the ball.

The second-year running back dodged a pair of defenders near the line of scrimmage, and then raced to the end zone on his longest run of the season. Johnson also rushed for 157 yards in a victory at San Francisco in Arizona’s previous game, winning NFC offensive play-

er of the week honors.

The Jets entered the game second in the NFL in rushing defense at 68 yards per game.

They were outgained on the ground 171-33.

New York had 130 yards in the first half, 70 on three receptions by Brandon Marshall . Marshall’s 36-yard catch over the middle set up New York’s only score, Nick Folk’s’ 39-yard field goal.

Arizona scored on a pair of 14-play drives in the second half. Johnson got his second 2-yard TD run up the middle, and Palmer passed to Floyd for another TD.

Bill signed for Las Vegas NFL stadium LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada’s governor signed a bill Monday clearing the way for a Las Vegas stadium that could be home to the Raiders, although NFL owners still need to approve the team’s move from Oakland before Sin City becomes a football town.

Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval and Raiders owner Mark Davis joined hardhat-wearing construction workers and maskwearing Raiders fans for the ceremony at UNLV, whose football team would also use the 65,000-seat domed stadium. Cheerleaders shook pompoms and a marching band launched into “Viva Las Vegas” after Sandoval inked the deal.

“Las Vegas is ready for this. Nevada is ready for this,” Sandoval said in an interview afterward. “The best brand on the planet is coming together with one of the best brands in professional sports. It is truly one of those situations where 1+1=3.”
