Both man and dog were invited to come to the Student Leisure Pool at the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center and have fun in the water on Sunday afternoon.

The Rec Center hosted a Dog Day, in which students from Texas

Tech and people from the Lubbock community were allowed to come and swim with their dogs.

Dog Day is one of the many events the Leisure Pool has hosted this semester.

As the pool gets ready to close its doors for the winter, the Rec Center plans to drain the pool to fix some of the tile, so the staff thought it would be fun to invite dogs to come in and

swim before the water is gone.

The event brought out many people and their four-legged friends to the pool to swim in the lazy river, the activities pool and jump off the diving board.

There was a $5 fee per dog.

Holly Thomas, a freshman psychology major, brought her Pembroke Welsh Corgi to the pool and said the event was a great

way to gather dog lovers from all over Lubbock.

“It just creates a place for them to go and have fun and have their dogs meet other dogs and meet new people who are also dog lovers and like to have fun with other people,” Thomas said.

The event was not only for fun and good times, but every $5 fee was donated to the Morris Safe House

for dogs. The Morris Safe House is a no-kill rescue for dogs in which the staff gives each dog care from the day they are accepted until the day they are adopted.

Sallie Morris, the founder and director of the Morris Safe House, said she started the house because of her passion and love for dogs.

Officials examine cyber threats, history

Week Without Violence starts

By SHASHIDHAR SASTRY

By EASTON WOLLNEY

Cybercrime is a low-risk, highreturn industry. Consequently, cyberspace is now a vulnerable world. As hackers grow increasingly sophisticated in their methods, a good understanding of cybercrime and cybersecurity is an invaluable tool in countering those threats.

Rise of the Digital Age Sam Segran, chief information officer for Texas Tech, said computers have been around since before the 1970s. Commercial computers, however, did not become popular until the 1990s — the same period that saw a high rise in the use of Internet.

“Suddenly when the rest of the world caught up to the Internet in the late 90s — when you started seeing actual commercialization of it — that’s when we started seeing a lot more hackers becoming rampant,” Segran said.

The real world as we see it was replicated on to the virtual world, he said, and throughout the early 2000s hackers attempted to attack systems and steal private data such as credit card information, passwords and so on.

This led to identity theft.

stating they work for the social good.

Nowadays, there is a huge underground economy that sustains the cybercriminal activities, Segran said.

People can buy software, hacking tools and even credit card numbers.

“So, cybercrime has gone from the initial pranks to all these areas,” Segran said. “Cybercrime will continue to be there until people start learning to protect themselves.”

Week Without Violence, a national campaign, kicks off this week around the nation, and Texas Tech will host several events on campus to raise awareness.

October is D o m e s t i c Vi o lence Awareness Month, and Week Without Violence launched in 1995 to try to put a EARL stop to violence against women, according to the Tech website.

Some of the events that will be hosted this week by the Women’s Studies Program and different organizations on campus and in the Lubbock community include panel discussions and forums, a SlutWalk and PAVE a Mile Walk, according to the website.

Patricia Earl, women’s studies coordinator and part-time instructor, said the department has been partnering with organizations on campus and in the community for about seven years now.

The U.S. Department of Justice defines identity theft and identity fraud as terms used to refer to all types of crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person’s personal data in some way involving fraud or deception, typically for economic gain.

Cybercrime manifested itself in a wide spectrum, ranging all the way from street criminals to national governments, Segran said. It was also not uncommon for people

to try and steal intellectual property from areas of research.

“They don’t have to wait 15 years to do R and D (research and development) when they can just steal it from someone else and just start making stuff and start selling it,” Segran said.

In addition to all this, there was an emergence of hacktivist groups such as WikiLeaks and Anonymous, he said.

Members of these groups do not necessarily publish an agenda other than

Tech hosts Alcohol Awareness Week

BY SHASHIDHAR SASTRY Staff Writer

In Spring 2015, Tech students were surveyed about their experiences when drinking alcohol in the last 12 months. Around 2 percent of students reported they seriously considered suicide, around 2 percent reported they were sexually assaulted and around 33 percent reported having done something they later regretted.

EDITORIAL BOARD Editor-in-Chief Andrew Gleinser (806) 742-3395 editor@dailytoreador.com Managing Editor Amy Cunningham managing@dailytoreador.com News Editor Kristen Barton news@dailytoreador.com

National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week is recognized across college campuses nationwide through various events that raise awareness about alcohol-related issues. Numerous organizations on the Tech campus collaborated on this year’s Alcohol Awareness Week activities that will be hosted from Monday to Saturday.

“The main objective of Alcohol Awareness Week is to help students acknowledge that alcohol can be consumed in safe ways and can be consumed smartly,” Anneliese Bustillo, prevention specialist for Risk Intervention and Safety Education, said.

The RISE office is a new department at Tech focused on prevention and wellness efforts for the Red Raider community. The RISE office will host numerous events this week such as the MythBusters wall, life-size Battleship and DWI simulators.

These activities are aimed at not only educating the students who are of drinking age, but also raising aware-

ness among those who are below 21, Bustillo said. This will allow them to have the knowledge and skill set necessary to tackle the dangers associated with drinking.

“We know that they are in college. We know that they will come into instances when they are interacting with alcohol,” she said. “So, we want them to be prepared for that before they are in those situations.”

They will focus on issues such as drunken driving, the role of alcohol in cases of sexual assault, helping to keep each other safe and creating a healthy campus climate, Bustillo said.

The Spring 2015 campus survey indicated students’ perception of alcohol consumption was much higher than the actual value.

According to the survey, while students perceived that around 30 percent of students consumed alcohol daily, the actual value was only 0.6 percent.

Accordingly, RISE is trying to educate and raise awareness among students, Bustillo

said, so students who choose not to drink or drink only once or twice a month know they are not alone.

Tech also has numerous resources to deal with alcohol related issues, Bustillo said, such as the Center for Collegiate Recovery Communities — one of the first addiction recovery programs in the nation. Tech requires all new students to complete AlcoholEdu, an online, interactive course designed to educate students about alcohol and its physical and mental effects.

“We’re trying to build on what they have already learned on alcohol,” Bustillo said. “In a way, we see Alcohol Awareness Week as like an annual refresher.”

Jeffery Sayers, a graduate assistant for Student Union and Activities, said the activities being hosted are intended to raise alcohol awareness among students on campus and to make them aware of the resources that are available.

Student Union and Activities is hosting the events for the National Collegiate Alco-

hol Awareness Week, Sayers said, in conjunction with various organizations and departments on campus, including RISE, Raiders Against Drunk Driving and the School of Theatre and Dance.

“I think the most important thing is getting the word out,” he said. “We just want to have some activities to make the students be mindful of what it means consume alcohol safely.”

SECURITY

“Now they send emails to a company with the company’s logo so they get tricked easily thinking it is official email,” Segran said. “We’ve seen those come to Texas Tech.”

Tech has technical control measures to prevent spoofing, he said. This means hackers cannot send fake emails pretending to be someone from within the university.

Therefore, they try to breach into a single eRaider account to send multiple phishing schemes to rest of the Tech community, Segran said.

“People have become the soft targets and they have figured out that not everybody has the requisite amount of knowledge to protect themselves,” Segran said.

Safety Tips According to a 2015 Identity Fraud Survey conducted

by Javelin Strategy and Research, college students are among the age group least concerned about fraud, least likely to detect identity fraud, and yet, four times more likely to be the victims of familiar fraud.

There are a few basic steps people can take to keep themselves safe and secure and avoid becoming victims of cyberattacks, Segran said.

Individuals should keep the operating systems on their desktops or laptops updated and have an up-to-date antivirus software installed, he said. People are frequently careless when it comes to mobile devices. However, it is imperative they have a password set up for the device.

A stolen mobile phone may provide access to email accounts, banking accounts and even social networking accounts.

“And if you lose it, somebody

else just becomes you in all of those places. So, at the very least, they need to put in a password on it,” Segran said. “And at the second level, they need to turn on find-my-phone features.”

A d d i t i o n a l l y, p e o p l e should periodically review their list of applications to update required applications or delete unnecessary applications, Segran said.

In the case of Wi-Fi, the university Wi-Fi is protected, encrypted and safe, he said. People can make their home Wi-Fi more secure by changing the default password, enabling security features such as WPA2 and disabling remote administration features on newer Wi-Fi routers.

“Using free public Wi-Fi is one area of danger that everybody should be aware of,” Segran said. “I don’t use free Wi-Fi ever. Period.”

People frequently become victims of cyberattacks when using public Wi-Fi since it is rather easy for the hackers to intercept and steal the data being transmitted, Segran said.

While shopping online, a safe practice is to shop only from reputable vendors, he said. When searching online, it is crucial to be able to distinguish between real and spoof websites.

“Amazon.com is amazon. com. If you see something that looks weird like Amazonian.com or something like that it’s not the same, and that’s how they trick you,” Segran said.

Lastly, people should not have many of their accounts tied together, Segran said.

Strong and different passwords for their accounts is also useful.

Safe computing practices may not necessarily be easy to follow, Segran said. They are, however, crucial in preventing cyberattacks.

“Security and convenience don’t always go hand in hand,” he said. “Something that’s more secure tends to be less convenient.”

Other angles Victoria Sutton, a Paul Whitfield Horn professor in the School of Law, said privacy rights are a major legal concern with cybersecurity.

The National Security Agency initiatives offer examples of privacy rights being invaded by the government.

“The program was rather invasive and more than the American public expected to have their privacy invaded,” Sutton said. “And that is really the balancing task legally. We have to balance our privacy against interests of national security.”

Yet another cyber threat involves crimes that are committed in a jurisdiction other than one’s own, she said. A common criminal strategy is to commit a crime in another jurisdiction, such as in a different country, and never leave one’s own jurisdiction.

The only way to bring justice in such situations is through extradition, Sutton said.

“But if we don’t have an extradition agreement with that country, then we are not going to be able to extradite,” Sutton said.

The European Union established a cybercrime treaty to resolve this issue, she said.

The 46 signatory countries of the EU have agreed to cooperate with each other in the investigation and extradition of cybercriminals.

Even with such measures in place, capturing cybercriminals is usually not easily done, Segran said. Tracking them down requires a vast amount of resources that are not always available — a fact criminals are aware of and take advantage of. “(Hackers are) becoming more sophisticated in hiding IP addresses,” Sutton said.

“Especially China has perfected hiding behind several layers of IP addresses, and they are next to impossible to find.”

Intellectual property theft is rampant in countries such as China. Not only do they steal the property, but they post it on websites, Sutton said. At that point, the only remaining option for the owners is to post a take-down notice requesting the hackers to take it down.

ICANN, a nonprofit organization created by the federal government and managed by the Department of Commerce, registers website domain names and IP addresses. President Barack Obama’s administration decided to transfer the control of ICANN to the United Nations. Although the Senate has tried to stop this transfer, Sutton said, it has managed only to delay it until early next year.

“And we’re getting absolutely nothing for it. I see absolutely no benefit in doing this,” she said. “When we lose control of that to countries like Russia and China, who may be part of the management from the U.N., then that could change what First Amendment freedom of speech might mean on the Internet.”

and listen to what our students are needing.”

The Cross-Cultural Academic Advancement Center is also helping to put together events for Week Without Violence, she said.

Women ages 18 to 34 are at

greater risk for domestic violence, Earl said, and reporting has increased, but abuse can happen to anyone.

“Abuse can happen to anyone regardless of their race, gender or ethnicity,” Earl said.

Gabrielle Wohead, a sophomore human development and family studies major from Allen and president of Tech’s Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance, said the main goal of the SlutWalk is to get rid of the idea that clothes equal consent.

“Once people start talking about it then that’s how change can happen,” Wohead said.

Last year during the SlutWalk, Wohead said several people yelled derogatory phrases at the group while they were walking.

“That was kind of a reminder why we were doing it in the first place,” she said, “so it was pretty powerful.”

FMLA has been planning the events alongside other organizations and departments on campus since last October, Wohead said, and wants men to get involved as well.

One of the goals is to empower victims and show them they have support, Wohead said.

Another goal is to stop blaming the victims of sexual assault or domestic abuse, Wohead said.

Anyone who wishes to help victims of domestic violence can donate to the women’s studies department for the “Hands of Hope Drive,” according to the Tech website. Donations will help benefit those at women’s protective services.

Cybercrime and Cybercriminals The annual cost to the global economy from cybercrime is estimated to be at least $375 billion and as high as $575 billion, according to a Center for Strategic and International Studies report. This is more than the national income of most countries.

Organized cybercrime is pervasive, Segran said, but protection against such threats is not difficult if people are aware of it.

“The goal is, if you can at least make them aware that these activities exist and here are the methods that (hackers) are using, then it’s just enough information for somebody to pause before they click on something or respond to something,” Segran said.

Hacking into systems has become fairly difficult with all the security measures that are being installed, he said.

So, people have become the soft targets for the hackers.

Hackers make use of phishing schemes to gather private information such as usernames and passwords, Segran said. Phishing is an email sent from an Internet criminal disguised as an email from a legitimate source.

Tech offense struggles in win over Kansas

BY BRANDON SOLIZ

RED RAIDERS

Staff Writer

On Saturday, the Texas Tech Red Raiders traveled to Lawrence, Kansas, where they faced off against the Kansas Jayhawks.

Tech came out on top 3020, which was not what most fans thought would happen.

Kansas is now 0-6 in the 2015 season and is in last place in the Big 12 Conference.

Tech improved its record to 5-2 with the victory and is now 2-2 in conference play.

Tech was second in points per game going into the game, behind only the No. 2-ranked Baylor Bears.

After Saturday, Tech moved down one spot to third in the nation, averaging 49.4 points per game.

Heading into week 8, Tech is now behind Baylor and TCU in the points-pergame category, with both losses coming to the Bears and the Horned Frogs.

JAYHAWKS Te c h a v e r a g e s 4 2 7 . 6 passing yards per game, which is second in the nation, but sophomore quarterback Patrick Mahomes II threw for 359 yards and one touchdown with one interception during the game against the Jayhawks.

Earlier in the week, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury announced that redshirt freshman lineman Justin Murphy’s season was cut short because of an injury, and his absence was seen against Kansas.

Mahomes went into Memorial Stadium in Kansas having only been sacked twice, but the Jayhawks were able to get to Mahomes a total of five times.

Kansas seemed to have found a way to stop Mahomes and the Tech offense, but senior running back De-

30 20

Andre Washington was able to find a way to help the Red Raiders to victory.

Washington ran the ball 22 times for 154 yards.

He continues to add to his career totals at Texas Tech and is currently at No. 7 on the all-time rushing yards list in school history with 2,662 yards.

However, Washington found the end zone just one time against the Jayhawks, whose total defense is ranked at No. 121 in the nation and No. 120 against the rush.

The Tech receivers also were held to one touchdown reception, but hauled in a total of 30 completions among nine different players.

Tech improved its all-time record against the Jayhawks to 16-1 and are undefeated when playing at Kansas.

Tech needs one more victory to be bowl eligible for the 37th time in school history.

Tech will conclude its

two-game road series as the team travels to Norman, Oklahoma, to play the No. 19-ranked Oklahoma Sooners at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday

at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The game can be seen on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. @BSoliz_DT

VOLLEYBALL

Texas downs Tech in three sets Saturday After its first road win versus a Big 12 opponent, the Texas Tech volleyball team closed out a two-match road trip with a 3-0 loss to the No. 2 Texas Longhorns Saturday night in Gregory Gym, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

The Longhorns stopped Tech’s offense in critical moments of the match and took advantage by extending scoring streaks.

In the first set, the Red Raiders came as close as 15-13 before Texas had an offensive burst

that propelled them to a 25-18 first set victory.

Tech nearly won the second set with a late 23-19 lead over the Longhorns, but Tech saw its momentum and advantage dwindle as the Longhorns scored six straight points to

claim a 2-0 lead heading into the half.

The two teams were tied at 7-7 in the third set, but Texas went on a 4-0 run and held the lead for the rest of the match, winning 27-17.

Despite the loss, freshman

middle blocker Sarah Redding recorded her second game with double-digit kills, as she had 10 against Texas. Junior setter Marguerite Grubb also served up 28 assists.

Tech’s loss dropped the team’s overall record to 13-8

and its conference record to 2-5.

The Red Raiders have a week to recoup from the loss as they return home to play host to Kansas State at 3 p.m.

American uprising: Memphis, Temple join Houston in AP Top 25 The American Athletic Conference wants to be considered closer in quality to the Power Five conferences than it is to its fellow Group of Five leagues.

That claim is backed up by the results this season, including an American uprising in the AP Top 25.

Memphis and Temple jumped into The Associated Press college football poll for the first time this season, joining Houston to give the American Athletic Conference three ranked teams for the first time in the history of the three-year old league.

Ohio State remained No. 1 in the AP Top 25 released

Sunday. For the second straight week, six teams received first-place votes in the media poll, led by the Buckeyes with 28. No. 2 Baylor has 12, No. 3 Utah received 16, No. 4 TCU got three and No. 5 LSU and No. 6 Clemson each have one.

The Utes and LSU Tigers each edged ahead one spot after home victories on Saturday.

Michigan State stayed at No. 7 after its miracle against Michigan and Alabama is No. 8 after handing Texas A&M its first loss.

Memphis (6-0) had the big upset of the weekend against Mississippi. The Tigers 37-24

victory vaulted them into the rankings at No 18.

“It’s one of the biggest wins we’ve had. It may be the most important based on where we are now,” Commissioner Mike Aresco said Sunday. “UCF’s big win over Baylor (in the 2014 Fiesta Bowl) was really important because it gave us some instant credibility that year.”

Memphis has only been ranked two other times: For one week during the 2004 season the Tigers were 25th and in the final poll of last season they were 25th.

Martins, Sounders eliminate Dynamo HOUSTON (AP) — Obafemi Martins scored in the 82nd minute and the Seattle Sounders eliminated the Houston Dynamo from playoff contention with a 1-1 draw Sunday.

The Sounders (14-13-6) extended their undefeated streak to seven games, but missed a chance to clinch off a playoff spot.

The Dynamo (11-13-9) needed a win to stay in the playoff race and Ricardo Clark put them in the lead in the 65th minute.

Brad Davis found him wide open near the top of the arc where Clark lined it up and punched a lowskidder back inside the left post.

Martins’ tying goal was a reactive header from in front of the goal, redirecting the first bounce off Andreas Ivanschitz’s corner.

Should Student Housing allow 24-hour visitation?

24-hour visitation during Students are not children, weekdays too distracting deserve 24-hour visitation

R

ecently, some Complex Councils at Texas Tech have discussed expanding weekday guest visitation hours to a 24-hour period. While there is a current rule limiting 24-hour visitation periods to the weekends, according to Tech’s University Student Housing website, a 24-hour visitation period throughout the weekdays is a terrible idea due to the negative effects it can have on the other roommates.

A roommate has the power to make one’s living experience either great or absolutely terrible. Having a respectful roommate can be a rewarding experience. These types of roommates can be respectful, agreeable or clean, which can lead to great living experiences.

Many other roommates, however, significantly add to stress already provided by classes. For example, when a roommate has his or her “significant other” repeatedly spend the night, it becomes a huge distraction to the other roommate. Having an extra body in the room can, over time, strain the relationship between the two original roommates, giving rise to a miserable student housing experience.

While occasionally having people over to stay the night is fine, this becomes a burden on other students on weekdays. Roommates need to understand that other students might be preparing for a difficult exam or might just be stressed out in general.

While dormitories are a place to have fun, many students often need peace and quiet in their rooms.

School is already stressful as it is, with relentless assignments, quizzes and tests. Having additional

It is well known that tuition and housing costs on campus continue to rise. Because we pay so much for tuition and housing, students deserve more freedoms and fewer restrictions.

Being the adults we are, we don’t need to have another burden on our back and be treated like we are some teenagers who get grounded if an absurd visitation policy is not followed. If a student wants to have a friend over, or multiple friends for that matter, they should have every right, no matter the time, and should not be punished for it whatsoever.

If a university wants more students to live on campus, ultimately making the university more money, the less rules and regulations the university places on these residence halls, the better chance more students will choose to live on campus.

It is understood that by living on campus, students must abide by certain rules and regulations. Colleges want to keep their campuses safe for students while also making it enjoyable to live on campus. Unfortunately, some rules and regulations are simply illogical.

In regards to visitation, it is unnecessary to inform a residence hall’s staff of the reason for a friend’s visit.

I do not believe that any member of a residence hall staff has any right to invade a grown adult’s privacy.

The same situation is relevant to being pulled over by a police officer and being asked where you are going.

It is a grown adult’s right to not answer any questions asked by a police officer that doesn’t relate to the reason for being pulled over. In the same way, it should be a right for a student on campus not to answer any questions the residence hall staff asks them to answer as well.

It is definitely understandable to have a rule where students must go downstairs and let friends in after midnight. Because of the time in which the visitation occurs, it is reasonable and logical for the person who stays at the residence hall to go down to the lobby and let their visitor in. But the fact of the matter is, a 24-hour visitation policy should not be in question.

Students should freely associate with one another at any time of day.

If a university wants more students to live on campus, ultimately making the university more money, the less rules and regulations the university places on these residence halls the better chance more students will choose to live on campus. The concept is similar to businesses in the U.S. today. Because of more strict regulations businesses must follow, many businesses take their factories elsewhere.

It is inevitable that a university will place rules and regulations for all oncampus residents to follow, but the strictness of these rules will heavily influence the choice students make when considering whether to live on or off campus. cpolkosnik@dailytoreador.com

Breaking silence, Biden team begins hinting at potential 2016 run WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden is sending out an unmistakable “forget-me-not” plea for 2016, brushing past signs of a Hillary Rodham Clinton resurgence with fresh and direct suggestions he could be on the verge of entering the presidential race.

The vice president’s political team broke its monthslong silence on the subject with a letter circulated by one of Biden’s closest friends and top advisers. In the letter, though Biden is still officially

undecided, former Sen. Ted Kaufman describes a “campaign from the heart” that Biden would wage and says a decision isn’t far off.

“If he decides to run, we will need each and every one of you — yesterday,” Kaufman says temptingly, alluding to the breakneck speed at which Biden would have to ramp up a campaign.

To i t s r e c i p i e n t s — Biden’s former Senate, White House and campaign staffers — Thursday’s let-

ter smacked of an unambiguous indication Biden was all but green-lighting a presidential campaign.

Several individuals familiar with the letter say it was circulated with Biden’s blessing. The individuals weren’t authorized to comment publicly and requested anonymity.

For his part, Biden has been silent on the issue for weeks while allowing his own self-imposed deadlines to fly by. His indecision has

Five takeaways from Tech football victory T exas Tech defeated Kansas 30-20 on Saturday. Here are five takeaways from the victory: 1. Offense never got in a rhythm Texas Tech gained 584 yards of total offense in a game that felt like the Red Raiders never played the way they are capable of playing. It marked the fourth-straight game where the team got more than 500 yards, but the team did not have the unstoppable offensive presence like it did against Iowa State last week.

It was surprising to see the second-highest scoring offense in the nation only put up

30 points on the worst defense in the Big 12 Conference.

2. Defense could not stop a freshman quarterback until the end Inexperienced Kansas freshman quarterback Ryan Willis showed off his accuracy against Tech by completing 35 out of 50 attempts for 330 yards and two touchdowns.

Willis did lose a fumble forced by senior defensive tackle

Branden Jackson and ended the game on a pick-six late in the fourth quarter, but besides those two mistakes, Willis was able to find holes in the Red Raider defense for much of the game, which is concerning because of his lack of experience.

3. Offensive line allowed more sacks than it had all season Sophomore quarterback Patrick Mahomes was sacked five times by the Jayhawks.

The Red Raider offensive line came into the game third in the country, having allowed only two sacks through the first six games. They allowed more on Saturday than they

had combined for all season.

Kansas had sacked quarterbacks eight times in its first five games, but its pass rush broke through against Tech. Senior offensive tackle Le’Raven Clark did get hurt in the game and did not return. The Red Raiders need Clark to be healthy against the talented pass rush of Oklahoma next week.

4. Tech won turnover battle again While the defense did allow the second-worst offense in the conference to gain 475 yards, it forced three turnovers. Senior safety J.J. Gaines forced and recovered a fumble by putting a big hit on a Kansas receiver,

usual high-powered offense we are used to seeing from the Red Raiders.

Washington was able to make up for the lack of production the passing game seemed to have left at home.

He is now seventh for all-time rushing yards in school history and continues to climb the ladder.

Blocking was not effective for the passing game as Mahomes was sacked a total of five times.

Mahomes had only been sacked twice going into the game.

While the offensive line struggled to protect Ma-

homes, it was able to create holes and give Washington room to make plays throughout the game.

Defensive Player of the Game: Redshirt Freshman Safety Jah’Shawn Johnson Redshirt freshman safety Jah’Shawn Johnson was definitely the player of the game against the Jayhawks.

Tech was in a position where if the Jayhawks’ kickers were able to convert on their field goals, the story might be flipped and the nation would wonder how the weakest team in the Power-5 conferences was able to defeat the third-ranked offense in the country.

Without Johnson’s contributions, the Tech offense would have to put up points late in the game, which seemed to be hard to do.

Johnson caught one in-

terception and potentially saved the game for Tech as he maneuvered his way down the field to the Kansas end zone.

Tech was able to force three fumbles but recovered only two of them.

The one fumble Tech did not recover was on a play where senior defensive lineman Pete Robertson caused a fumble on a sack, but defensive linemen freshman Breiden Fehoko and senior Branden Jackson were unable to recover the ball in the end zone, and instead Kansas recovered the ball and gained two yards.

Johnson made up for the missed opportunities with his effort throughout the game and is probably the reason why Tech did not lose the game. @BSolizDT

Hoyer, Hopkins help Texans handle Jaguars, 31-20 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Brian Hoyer looked every bit deserving of the Houston starting job.

Hoyer threw three touchdown passes on third down, two to DeAndre Hopkins, and the Texans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-20 on Sunday.

Hoyer regained the starting job last week against Indianapolis and backed up coach Bill O’Brien’s decision.

At least against the Jaguars (1-5), who lost their fourth in a row and surely raised more questions about coach Gus Bradley’s job security.

The Texans (2-4) started emptying the stadium midway through the fourth after Andre Hal returned an interception 41 yards for a

touchdown and a 31-14 lead.

It was the sixth pick-six thrown by Blake Bortles in 19 career starts.

Hoyer and Hopkins pretty much had the game in hand well before that.

Hoyer was at his best on the game’s most important down, connecting with Arian Foster on third-and-goal from the 7 and then hooking up with Hopkins for two more third-down scores. Hopkins bobbled and then secured a 9-yard pass in the back of the end zone and later ran by Davon House for a 26-yarder.

Hoyer completed 24 of 36 passes for 293 yards. Hopkins finished with 10 receptions for 148 yards. Foster was mostly held in check, running 18 times for 53 yards.

The only negative for Houston was injuries. Cornerback Kareem Jackson left the game with a left ankle injury and did not return.

And backup safety Lonnie Ballentine appeared to break his left leg after making contact with Jaguars receiver Allen Robinson in the fourth quarter. Trainers rushed to put Ballentine’s leg in an air cast before carting him off the field.

Robinson had to be helped off, too. He limped to the locker room.

Robinson caught six passes for 86 yards and a touchdown before the injury.

Bortles completed 30 of 53 passes for 331 yards, with three touchdowns and three interceptions. The first two

picks were costly. The first one came near the goal line at the end of the first half.

Jacksonville could have tied the game at 10 heading into the locker room, but Hal stepped in front of Bortles’ low throw to Julius Thomas.

Thomas, Robinson and Allen Hurns had touchdown receptions for Jacksonville, which had little success running the ball without rookie T.J. Yeldon.

The Jaguars lost for the eighth time in 10 games against their AFC South rival.

Houston now heads to Miami next week with a chance to sweep three games against teams from the Sunshine State. The Texans’ first win came against Tampa Bay last month.

Tech pulls off unusual play On Saturday, Texas Tech pulled off arguably one of the best creative plays of the 2015 college football season.

Less than two minutes into the second quarter, the Red Raiders scored their first touchdown of the game and decided to attempt a two-point conversion.

The attempt itself came as a surprise to Kansas, as Tech lined up in its shifting normal extra point formation.

However, instead of snapping the ball between his legs, Tech senior long snapper David Brenner laterally snapped the ball across the field to senior offensive tackle Le’Raven Clark.

Clark, the preseason AllAmerican, was then behind a wall of blockers and used his 6-feet 6-inch and 308-pound frame to barrel over Jayhawk

defenders and into the end zone for a successful two-point attempt.

T h e CLARK eight-point possession pushed the Red Raiders lead to 11-0 after they were limited to three points in the first quarter.

The play marked the second unusual situation for Clark this season as he was credited with five receiving yards, according to the Tech Athletics website, on the final play against Texas Christian after catching another lateral.

Clark was later injured in the game and did not return. @JeremyK_DT

Manning shakes off INTs, Broncos defeat Browns CLEVELAND (AP) — Peyton Manning shook off three interceptions and drove Denver in range for Brandon McManus’ 34-yard field goal with 4:56 left in overtime, giving the unbeaten Broncos a 26-23 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Manning took the Broncos from their 12 to the Cleveland 16 before McManus kicked his game-winner to make Denver 6-0 for the seventh time in franchise history. The Broncos only rallied thanks to their top-

ranked defense, which came up big in overtime.

After Manning’s third pick, Denver recorded two sacks to push the Browns (2-4) out of field-goal range.

Given another chance, Manning took over. He completed 4 of 4 passes for 39 yards on the last drive.

The extra period came after a frenetic fourth quarter during which Cleveland took the lead on an interception return only to have Manning take it back 14 seconds later with a 75-yard touchdown pass.

Jayhawks were going to play.

It also did not help that Kansas coach David Beaty seemed to always know what Tech’s offense was going to do as he and Kliff Kingsbury coached together at Texas A&M. After struggling against winless Kansas, Tech will play on the road against Oklahoma next week. The Sooners are 5-1 and are coming off a 55-0 win over Kansas State. They will certainly be a more difficult challenge than the Jayhawks. Tech needs to bring the energy it did against Texas Christian and Iowa State earlier this season.

WWE smacks down in Lubbock

BY RYAN ORTEGON Staff Writer

World Wrestling Entertainment superstars hit the United Supermarkets Arena on Saturday in backto-back fights for the glory of winning.

The wrestling matches began at 7:30 p.m. with various small fights leading up to the big showdown match between Seth Rollins and John Cena.

The night was full of punches, leg sweeps, pile drivers, chokeholds and plenty of other fighting moves between all the contestants.

The crowd either roared with admiration or booed viciously as each new pair of wrestlers entered the ring.

The big matches of the night were part of the Intercontinental Championship, which featured Ryback vs.

Kevin Owens, Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev and Dean Ambrose vs. Big Show, in which Ryback, Ziggler and Ambrose were victorious.

All these matches led up to the 30-minute Iron Man

between John Cena and Seth Rollins for the United States Championship.

The Supermarkets Arena was packed with people from not only Lubbock but also the surrounding areas.

Michael Fernandez, a resident of San Angelo, said the WWE wrestlers always bring people to their matches wherever they go.

“I think it’s big, you know not just around the Lubbock area but they’re big everywhere,” he said. “I mean no matter where they go, they always draw big crowds.”

People from all over came down to Lubbock to get a chance to see their favorite wrestlers do what they do best.

Ryan Duran, a resident from Littlefield, brought his son out to Lubbock to watch the much-anticipated John Cena fight. Duran said he thinks having these kinds of events is great for Lubbock.

“It brings in a lot of people in to help out the economy,” he said. “You know there are people that don’t really come to Lubbock and this

one event will bring them in and get some revenue going in the town.”

Duran and his son both said they enjoyed the matches very much. Duran’s son said his favorite part of the match was when Rollins tried to go at Cena’s legs to make him fall down, but Cena then got back up to give Rollins a big takedown.

Duran said if he could describe the entire night in one word it would be simply, “Awesome.”

Although there were many adults at this show, a large part of the audience was children. There were many kids, wearing their favorite wrestler ’s T-shirts and screaming for them to win the match.

With almost every set of parents, there were two or three kids who followed.

Brandie Reyna, a resident of Plainview, said she thinks WWE is a family-oriented event.

“It’s something that’s not as graphic as the other sports, and I think it’s just kind of fun to watch them

JUSTIN REX/The Daily Toreador

wrestle,” she said. “I mean kids wrestle at home all the time, so it’s fun.”

Reyna said WWE is something both adults and kids all have in common and can really relate to.

Rollins and Cena went back and forth winning rounds against each other, but eventually Cena was able to beat down Rollins and claim the victory as the United States Champion.

“I think it’s something that everyone has grown up with for a long time,” Reyna said, “and it’s just something nice to share as an adult with your kids.” @DailyToreador

CAMPUS

Students participate in SlutWalk

BY MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

The SlutWalk has been an annual march for women since 2011 in both the U.S. and Canada. The walk, which opposes victim blaming and slut shaming, has been empowering women and raising awareness for sexual consent.

SlutWalk Lubbock, which took place at 6 p.m. Saturday, was advertised through a Facebook page and brought people from all around Lubbock and the Texas Tech campus to participate in the march up and down Broadway Avenue and Overton Park.

The concept derived from a group of Toronto students who were told the best way to avoid rape or assault was to not dress like a slut, according to a Huffington Post article.

SlutWalk Lubbock had members from Tech’s Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance participating. The point was to bring awareness to a campus the size of Tech,

MICHAEL CANTU/The Daily Toreador

Members of the Texas Tech Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance participated in SlutWalk Lubbock on Saturday down Broadway. The SlutWalk is meant to raise awareness about sexual assault and stop slut shaming and victim blaming.

Stacy Edokpa, a freshman biochemistry major from Houston, said.

“There’s a lot that people don’t know and that you don’t learn about in school about sexual assault and things like that,” Edokpa said. “And this is to raise awareness and bring it to light.”

ways a conversation that is needed, she said. There is much to be said about the issues women face, more so in the area of hyper-masculinity and femininity and their effects on people and victims.

FMLA and SlutWalk participants seem to be part of a group that feels the effects of hyper-masculinity, Catherine Ragsdale, a Spanish and marketing dual major from Austin, said. There is awareness on how the members feel separate in society, she said, and they have taken it upon themselves to spread the message that sexual violence is never OK. “(SlutWalk) has kind of became the way to say, ‘I can wear whatever I want, dress how I want, I can act how I want,’” Ragsdale said. “That doesn’t mean that I am valued less because of how I act, and I don’t deserve to be raped or hurt because

of that.”

It is through this walk that members are also able to get some of their anger and rage out they have toward some societal norms, Bri Ollre, a junior management and information systems major from Kemah, said. Through this, people who have the same feelings can gather around and try to spread a positive message for such a negative subject.

Through that type of empowerment there is a small safe zone created, Ollre said, because each person is there to protect and care for one another.

“Consent is such a positive message, and it seems so logical because all you have to do to make sure that you’re not hurting somebody during sex is ask if they’re OK,” Ragsdale said. “It’s so simple, all you have to do is ask and yet there are millions

of people, not just women, who are raped and assaulted every day.”

Even during the walk there was negative feedback, mostly when the women gave a pro-consent chant, and bystanders at local bars yelled back in denial of consent. But through that there was still a bit of perseverance to send out that positive message, she said.

If a person isn’t listening to the message then members might just have to yell a bit louder to make sure they are heard, Ragsdale said.

SlutWalk was also a way to bring the message to people in a way that speaks directly to them, Ollre said, not just board meetings and committees discussing the issue.

“I feel like SlutWalk is another way to kind of continue bringing that awareness instead of just like a formal meeting where administrators talk,” Ollre said.

Ragsdale said because of a system of rape-justification people are still allowed to get away with their crime, mainly when people accuse victims of being dressed too provocatively or being too inebriated.

Even through negative feedback, Edokpa said, it is hard not to yell back and tell a person they are wrong. The

point of the walk is to hope that one day they will be able to understand the power of consent and what that actually entails.

“It’s about getting the word out and hoping people keep talking about (consent),” Edokpa said. “And you’re just kind of hoping they’ll get it one day and they’ll understand and they’ll grow up.”

The best thing to do, Ragsdale said, is to give someone else love when another person gives hate. It is important for survivors of rape to receive the message of selflove and self-care, and those participating in SlutWalk and members of FMLA want to spread that message.

Gender and race do not matter, and FMLA wants people to know that through whatever violence they might have been victim to, they are not alone, Ragsdale said. At its core, feminism is intersectional, so there is always a place for someone to feel comforted, she said.

“You’re not alone. There are people out here that will listen to you, that will bring you into their arms and will give you support no matter what,” Ollre said. “No matter who you are, no matter where you’re from, we’re here for you.”

DOGS

neutered. They get a lifetime ID chip so if they do get out, we can find them and track them down.”

The other events Dog Day featured were a dog CPR class, a 25-yard swimming race and a costume contest for the dogs.

Olivia Harris, aquatics supervisor at the Leisure Pool, said the staff was shocked at how well the event turned out, Harris said, and she expects the Rec Center to host this event again next year.

“You know there is no dog park in Lubbock, so it’s really great that we were able to do something like this for dogs and their families,” she said.

Dog Day was an event that brought the dog-loving community of Lubbock together to have some fun in the water and also learn about a worthwhile cause, Thomas said.

“It creates more awareness because it’s something fun that people can go to, and people love to go to fun things, but it also has something that’s meaningful,” she said.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “They needed a safe place to be and a place where we could find them homes that would work for them,” she said. “I’ve had a passion for them all my life, but I’ve had the safe house for eight years.”

Morris Safe House had a table set up at the entrance of the pool where people could get more information about the safe house and also make donations to the shelter.

Morris was also selling “Hunks and Hounds” calendars for $15, which feature pictures of local Lubbock men holding either their dogs or some of the dogs from the safe house.

Morris said she has 13 of her own dogs at home and 41 in the safe house. She explained the goal for every dog that enters doors of the safe house.

“The main thing is virtually every dog we bring in has to learn to trust again,” she said. “So many are abandoned, they are thrown out on the street and just left to fend for themselves. So we bring them in and give them a name, we give them all their shots, have them spayed and
