Doctor creates vaccine, plans to give to nonprofits

By KRISTEN BARTON News editor

Dr. Afzal Siddiqui, professor of immunology and molecular microbiology at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, has recently developed a vaccine for schistosomiasis and received a patent for it.

According to a TTUHSC news release, more than 200 million people suffer from this disease and those without access to clean water are the most at risk.

“The discovery itself is pretty exciting because of all the people on Earth that are affected by this disease,” Dr. Michael Conn,

senior vice president for research for TTUHSC, said. “If we can immunize these people and drop this disease dramatically we are doing a huge thing for mankind.

The reason we do research at all is to help humanity.”

During the baboon studies, when a female who has recently given birth and was breast-feeding was immunized, the vaccine passed through the milk and into the infant, Conn said.

“You see these pictures of kids in Africa and other countries with bulging bellies,” Siddiqui said, “that is because of parasitic diseases like this one.”

The vaccine was tested and is getting ready for human clinical trials, he said. The parasites develop eggs and it

causes stomachs to enlarge.

The vaccine helps stop that.

Siddiqui has been working on this vaccine for 20 years. There is no vaccine for parasitic diseases and one drug developed 40 years ago.

While at Harvard, Siddiqui said he developed this interest in parasitic diseases. There are 20-plus years of research going into this vaccine, he said. Getting the patent took about six years.

“This disease is mostly from people in poorer countries, so the reason we got the patent on this disease is because we did not want people to make money off the vaccine,” Siddiqui said.

“We wanted to have the pat-

ent so we can help make this vaccine less than a dollar so that everyone can afford it who needs this vaccine.”

Siddiqui said the patent in Brazil and China is still pending.

The vaccine will be distributed to nonprofits, he said.

This vaccine is a great opportunity for the university to help the world, Conn said. It does not mean much in terms of money, since the plan is to keep it cheap. The university is not looking at it as a way to make money, but a way to help humanity.

“It’s more for curing people than for making profit,” Siddiqui said. “That’s a very different approach we have taken for this.” @KristenBartonDT

As midterms approach and the halfway point of the semester has passed, students are starting to feel the stress and pressure to do well in their classes.

The Student Counseling Center offers services to help students deal with this stress.

Richard Lenox, director of the Student Counseling Center, said the primary service provided for students dealing with stress is individual counseling sessions. The counseling sessions are short term in nature and if a student has significant mental health issues, the center can make a referral out for long-term care.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RENO, Nev. (AP) — Jeb Bush said Wednesday that he would rein in regulation at the Interior Department as president and try to move its headquarters from Washington, D.C., to the West, home to 90 percent of federally owned land.

“There is a tradition of having a secretary from the West,” the former Florida governor said at a discussion organized by his presidential campaign. “But the folks that actually do the work ... all live in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., and I think they ought to be living out amongst us.”

Man detained in roadrage killing of 4-year-old ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Police detained a man on Wednesday in connection with the road-rage killing of a 4-year-old girl who was shot in the backseat of her father’s truck after he picked up her and her brother from school, signaling a possible break

in a case that has horrified the public.

Albuquerque police would not say if they believe the person of interest taken into custody is the shooter, but they said he matched the description of the gunman. His name was not immediately released.

Four-year-old Lilly Garcia was riding in the backseat of her dad’s truck with her 7-year-old brother Tuesday when someone in a Toyota opened fire on the family as they traveled down the main east-west freeway in Albuquerque.

The father quickly pulled the truck into the median and tried to administer first aid on his daughter as a bystander called 911 to report “an adult holding an unresponsive child.”

Two nurses showed up and tried save the girl’s life as ambulances arrived and rushed her to the hospital, where she died, Albuquerque Police Chief Gorden Eden said.

Authorities quickly began pressing for tips, offering roughly $25,000 for information that leads to the arrest of the shooter, who was driving a newer-model maroon or dark red Toyota Corolla or Camry with a spoiler on the trunk and dark tinted windows. The car also had a University of New Mexico license plate.

WEATHER

Lubbock receives heavy rainfall

By SHASHIDHAR SASTRY Staff Writer

There have been hints of rain during the past few days, and as the month of November fast approaches, students are bracing themselves for winter.

The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch until 7 a.m. Friday. There is an 80 percent chance of rain

today, according the NWS website, and the temperature is expected to drop to 51 degrees Fahrenheit tonight.

Zakary Geissinger, a junior molecular biology major from Portales, New Mexico, said he loves the smell of the rain and the feel of the air.

“I like it more rainy than anything,” he said. “I love it.

It’s nice and cool and wet.”

Up to four inches of rain

are projected to fall by early Friday before the upper level storm moves eastward, according to the NWS website.

Low temperatures next week are forecast to be in the upper 40s, with the high temperatures in the 60s.

Waggadugu Williams, a sophomore political science major from Lubbock, said he does not mind the changes in the weather.

“I like weather,” Williams said. “It doesn’t matter to me if it’s cold or hot. I enjoy the weather.”

The only drawback of heavy rains and thunderstorms is the road accidents they tend to cause, he said.

Heavy rains cause flooding, and at times it becomes nearly impossible to see through the windshield.

“That’s going to cause

some accidents, maybe some deaths,” Williams said.

“That’s the reality.”

Williams said he takes preventive measures during these times to ensure he stays healthy and free from infection.

“I take like seven vitamins a day to help prevent that,” he said, “because I know that that’s around the corner.”

Landry Truett, a freshman marketing major

from Prosper, said he has started wearing heavier clothes — jeans, jackets and boots — to adapt to the changing weather.

Truett said his main concern with rain is the flooding it causes. Flooding makes it difficult to get to classes.

“I don’t like (rain). I like the heat,” Truett said. “Just ready for the spring.” @SastryShashi_DT

2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Biden not running for 2016 presidency

By EASTON WOLLNEY Staff Writer

Vi c e P r e s i d e n t J o e Biden announced Wednesday he will not be seeking the Democratic Party nomination for the 2016 presidential election.

Jackson Cole, a senior advertising major from Mansfield, said he was glad to hear Biden would not enter the race.

“They know how good of a chance they have winning with Hillary,” Cole said.

The Democratic Party has strong candidates, Cole said, and having too many candidates could hurt the party.

He said he does not think the Republicans have strong candidates, so the Democratic Party has a strong chance in the 2016 election.

Cole said the topics he is most interested in hearing from both parties is health care, tax reform and student loan forgiveness.

Chase Embree, a sophomore political science major from Frisco, said with Biden

announcing he will not run, things should be easier for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton now to secure the Democratic Party nomination.

“I think that really opens up things for Hillary Clinton,” Embree said.

Clinton will be a tough candidate for the Republican Party to defeat if she is able to secure the Democratic Party nomination, Embree said, and she thinks Clinton is a stronger candidate than Biden.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

“She’s really well liked by Democrats all around, but especially with the women,” Embree said.

Issues of immigration, illegal immigrants in the U.S. and health care are all topics Embree wants to see both parties discuss in the next few months, he said.

Destiny Molina, a junior political science major from Lubbock and president of the Tech Student Democrats, said she thinks Biden would have been a well-liked candidate for the

Democratic Party.

“Most of the people who are truly into politics would have loved Joe Biden,” Molina said. “I was a little disappointed since he really is the right hand man for President Obama right now.”

Biden probably would have been close to Hillary in the polls had he decided to run, Molina said.

Even though she feels Biden would have had a strong chance, Molina said she also feels confident Senator Bernie Sanders and Clin-

ton will do great things in the White House if elected.

She said the Republicans have a harder job right now because of the number of candidates, so people have to do more homework before deciding who they will support.

Molina said the three main topics she wants to see discussed are more affordable health care, education, which she feels Clinton and Sanders have great plans for, and minimum wage. @EastonWollneyDT

Paxton recuses self from duties Obama, US tackle drug abuse AUSTIN (AP) — Criminal charges that accuse Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton of defrauding investors are causing the state’s top prosecutor to remove himself from some duties at work, his office said Wednesday.

The recusals mark some of the first indications that a three-count indictment unsealed in August is affecting the job that Paxton overwhelmingly was voted into a year ago.

The acknowledgment that Paxton has begun avoiding certain tasks also came on the same day that another indicted state attorney general, Pennsylvania Democrat Kathleen Kane, told her staff that some 98 percent of her job won’t be affected by the looming suspension of her law license. Kane is charged with leaking secret grand jury material to a newspaper.

Paxton has pleaded not guilty and has said the felony charges will not distract from his official duties.

But spokeswoman Cynthia Meyer said their office has begun removing him from potential conflicts.

That includes matters involving the Texas State Securities Board, which fined Paxton $1,000 last year for not disclosing commissions he received for referring clients to a financial adviser.

“Any recusal under this policy is intended to go beyond the letter and spirit of the governing law and rules,” Meyer said.

The recusals were first reported by Texas Lawyer.

Paxton is accused of defrauding wealthy investors in 2011, when he was a state legislator, by urging them

to invest in a tech startup without disclosing that he was being paid by the company. He faces five to 99 years in prison if found guilty of the most serious charges.

It is not clear how often Paxton has removed himself from duties so far. Meyer said a formal public records request must be filed for that information.

But one example came in late September: A rural county asked Paxton’s office whether taxpayer dollars could cover the legal fees of a local official who was indicted but found not guilty. Rulings on such legal questions are known as

opinions — one of the main jobs of the office — and are typically signed by the attorney general. Paxton avoided taking on a question involving an indicted elected official and delegated the signature to Chip Roy, his first assistant attorney general.

In a letter explaining the decision, Paxton cited the desire to avoid “even the appearance of impropriety.”

Meyer said Paxton also is recusing himself from agency matters that involve the Texas Ethics Commission and private law firms that are defending Paxton in his criminal case.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Traveling to a region in the throes of a drug abuse crisis, President Barack Obama promised Wednesday to use his bully pulpit and federal programs to try to combat the “epidemic” of heroin use and prescription painkiller abuse that is upending communities across the country.

“This crisis is taking lives; it’s destroying families and shattering communities all across the country,” Obama said at a panel discussion on opioid drug abuse. “That’s the thing about

substance abuse; it doesn’t discriminate. It touches everybody.”

On stage at a crowded community center, Obama heard from advocates, health care workers, law enforcement officials and policy makers about the depth of a problem that has long simmered at the state level but just recently risen to the national political stage.

Charleston Police Chief Brent Webster said his officers deal with a “community of zombies walking around” in need of treatment. A father of five daughters described what

it was like to find one of them had overdosed, a needle hanging from her arm.

Obama said the stories reminded him of his teenage daughters and his own rebellious teen years.

“They’re wonderful girls, but they’re teenagers. They do some ... things,” he said. “And I remember me being a teenager.

I’ve written about this. I did some ... stuff. And I’ve been very honest about it. And so what I think about is ‘there but for the grace of God,’ and that’s what we all have to remember.”

Students should not fear major changes

T

o all the students who are second-guessing their college choices and goals: you are not alone.

The midterm period brings the feeling onto many. Latenight study sessions, with flickering fluorescent lights and room-temperature coffee, usually bring many students to wonder, “What am I doing with my life?”

For students who may begin to think about changing majors, it is important to understand the reasons against switching majors and also why switching majors can still be a great idea in the long run.

As the price of college continues to skyrocket, the financial penalty of switching majors continues to increase. According to a report

by The College Board, the nonprofit organization that administers the SAT, the averaged published price for in-state students in public, four-year institutions increased by 225 percent from 1984 to 2014.

One of the drawbacks to the rising cost of student tuition (in addition to a rise in crippling student debt and all-around misery) is that there is a much higher penalty for switching majors.

While some students may be lucky to have transferable credits between majors, not all classes transfer so easily. Some students who switch majors will probably have classes that do not count toward the new major, meaning that vital time and money will be lost in the switch.

This financial pressure can have terrible repercussions on student choices. As countless students are increasingly graduating with debt across the country, as evidenced by a Sept. 12, 2014, CNN article, but it is terrible because it puts more pressure on students to stick with majors they may not enjoy. This pressure forces students to quickly choose a profession they could be in for the rest of their life.

For those who aren’t sure what they want out of their future, it can be hard to pick a major, and justifiably so. In our high school years, my classmates and I were told to pick a career we would enjoy doing, but this is advice simplifies an incredibly complex decision.

First off, for college students to pick a career based off “what you like to do” is incredibly difficult. Really, all I want to do is eat, sleep and have fun. We each have a human nature that compels us to eat, sleep and mate, and yet we lack a human nature that compels us to become accountants or software designers. I suppose I could pick a career I think I would enjoy, like an underwater photographer or World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler, but this choice is based on nothing but assumption.

Even if students are willing to make a choice on what they like, their desires can often conflict. Students may have a desire to study art or English, but they also have a desire to make money.

For example, CNN Money’s 2015 list of “lowestpaying college majors” lists majors such as early-childhood education, studio arts and visual and performing arts. These majors can be incredibly fulfilling, yet pay little. Other degrees, such as a degree in petroleum engineering or energy commerce, guarantee a hefty salary but demand a large amount of time and work.

All this is to say that

choosing a major can be an incredibly difficult task for students. Of course, there are many students who seem to know their calling from a young age and pursue their major’s studies happily.

These people are just like the high school sweethearts — they are happy, motivated and make the rest of us sick.

Changing majors and exploring the different types of professions may be complicated, but it can be extremely rewarding. The idea of what role one’s career should play in life is a subject of long debate, and exploring the possibilities can bring wisdom and understanding.

The philosophies around the idea of work have been constantly changing and prove just how varied people can be when it comes to a lifelong career. In “Politics,” Aristotle’s work of political philosophy, Aristotle writes, “citizens must not live a mechanic or a mercantile life (for such a life is ignoble and inimical to virtue), nor yet must those who are to be citizens in the best state be tillers of the soil for leisure is needed both for the development of virtue and for active participation in politics.)”

Through this, Aristotle says too much work will take time away from nobler pursuits, such as personal development and community involvement. Unfortunately, most of us must work to live, but if wisdom is to be gained from Aristotle’s writing, it is that students should pursue careers that provide support without too much demand.

Students may pursue a job that pays sufficiently, but does not require too much time or thought.

In contrast, philosopher Karl Marx argues that each individual should pursue a job in which he can express his identity. This thought was heavily influenced by the industrial revolution, a period that led countless workers to being put in jobs that consisted of doing repetitive, menial tasks. In his article, “Reflections of a youth on choosing an occupation,” Marx writes, “Only that position can impart dignity in which we do not appear as servile tools but rather create independently within our circle.”

As seen by the different stances on the role of work, choosing a career is more than choosing a field one could excel in. By pursuing one career over another, students make the decision on what role work will play in their life, and whether they will choose time, money or power. Exploring these options by exploring different majors should not only be acceptable, but encouraged.

In seeing one’s options, there is a greater chance one can find an agreeable career field.

Eventually, each student must pick a major and graduate. The pressure of time and money is strong, and many of us will go right from college into the working field. Some students will find work they enjoy, others will find themselves in a career they despise, but most will be working for many years. Switching majors may be a difficult choice, but the difference could last a lifetime. jmiller@dailytoreador.com

Scientific community not as unanimous on man-made global warming as society thinks

A

debate currently rages on between two groups of academia and many politicians over the subject of man-made climate change.

On one side, there are those who believe man is causing climate change. This group is often called as the consensus, and sometimes as alarmists.

The other side, depending on who one asks, are termed climate skeptics, or climate deniers. Intellectual expletives referring to the second group as pseudoscientists abound on social media and in comment sections across the Internet. The consensus side, especially the political sub-faction, often likes to say anthropogenic climate change is a settled science.

President Obama, in a June 2013 speech at Georgetown University, said, “The overwhelming judgment of science — of chemistry and physics and millions of measurements — has put all that to rest.

Ninety-seven percent of scientists, including, by the way, some who originally disputed the data, have now put that to rest. They’ve acknowledged the planet is warming and human activity is contributing to it.”

This 97 percent statistic comes from a study by climate scientist Dr. John Cook, according to a May 26, 2014, Wall Street Journal article.

While the statistic may appear impressive, it is worth looking into the backstory of the

WASHINGTON (AP) — Billionaire New York investor Carl Icahn said Wednesday he is creating a $150 million super PAC focused on revising corporate tax law.

Icahn will use his super PAC to press Congress to pass legislation that stops U.S. companies from moving their profits overseas to take advantage of lower tax rates — a practice known as “inversions.”

American corporations — including Apple, one of his own biggest investments — are holding more than $2.2 trillion abroad, Icahn said. The investor laid out his plans in a letter posted on his website,

study. A blogger by the name of Brandon Shollenberger, according to The Daily Caller, The Australian and Shollenberger’s own blog, Izuru, was being threatened by Cook’s employer: the University of Queensland in Australia. Shollenberger came into possession of the data behind the 97 percent statistic, and was sent a threatening letter by the university not to publish or even do anything with the data, such as analysis.

The letter also threatened him with litigation under copyright laws if he published the letter with which the university threatened him.

If that backstory doesn’t sound sketchy enough, a peer reviewed paper titled, “Climate Consensus and ‘Misinformation’: A Rejoinder to Agnotology, Scientific Consensus, and the Teaching and Learning of Climate Change,” by David R. Legates was published online in August 2013 (and in the April 2015 issue of Science & Education) and has completely debunked the 97 percent consensus statistic.

treme views? He believed we do not yet know enough to blame the majority of global warming/ climate change on man.

This also comes after an embarrassing situation known in some circles as “Climategate 2.0.” A Nov. 23, 2011, article from Forbes, by James Taylor detailed what occurred. Approximately 5,000 emails were released that involved scientists heavily involved in the debate over anthropogenic global warming/climate change, which discussed measures to conceal source data and control what is seen in the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change reports.

So much for differing views being celebrated by academia everywhere.

According to a U.K. Daily Mail article by reporter Ted Thornhill, in Feb. 2014, Greenpeace co-founder and scientist Patrick Moore testified to the U.S. Senate, “There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth’s atmosphere over the past 100 years. If there were such a proof it would be written down for all to see. No actual proof, as it is understood in science, exists.”

Regardless of what some individuals may proclaim, the science of man-made climate change seems far from settled in the scientific community. jbowles@dailytoreador.com

On a John Stossel segment on March 26, 2013, two climatologists faced off. Roy W. Spencer, a NASA climatologist and U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer on NASA’s Aqua satellite (his research has also been entirely supported by government agencies), was on one side of the disagreement.

Spencer has also testified before Congress on multiple occasions on the issue of climate change.

The other side of the disagreement was voiced by Gavin A. Schmidt of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

A video of the segment is available through several YouTube channels. Interestingly enough, though Stossel tried to facilitate a debate between the two climatologists, Schmidt refused to debate Spencer, only agreeing to do the segment if the discussion wasn’t a debate format. When Stossel extended the offer for Schmidt to stay and listen to what Spencer had to say, Schmidt politely refused and walked off.

Icahn said he will seek super PAC donations from others but noted in his letter that his own $150 million should be “more than enough to make voters fully aware of the horrible consequences” of inversions. He said in an interview Wednesday on the cable business channel CNBC that he’s taking action because he’s tired of Congress dodging the issue.

“These guys are unwilling to compromise,” he said of lawmakers. “They have to be held accountable.” He said it would take “a simple law” to

Icahn joins other billionaires, including environmentalist Tom Steyer and gun-control advocate Michael Bloomberg, in using super PACs to tackle a single policy issue.

Greek life impacts local charities

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

Fraternities and sororities are required by their national chapters to support specific philanthropic organizations by volunteering and fundraising.

American Red Cross is the national philanthropy for Delta Sigma Phi, and members of the fraternity are putting together a Halloween-themed event that will be open to the public, Scott Rauba, a senior accounting major from The Woodlands and vice president of the group, said.

The first annual Delta Sigma Phrightfest will be from 7 to 11 p.m. Wednesday, he said.

The event will raise money for the Red Cross Volunteer Center at 2201 19th Street, he said. Phrightfest will be at the Delta Sigma lodge at 1410 Orlando Avenue, he said, and the group

will turn the location into a haunted house.

“That’s going to be the main attraction,” Rauba said, “but after that we’re also going to have pumpkin carving and maybe pumpkin smashing.”

The group also has people from the Spirit Halloween superstore who will help the members with their face paint and makeup, he said, and they will also have face painting and raffles.

Along with revenue from the tickets for the event, the group will also have a booth set to the side for the Red Cross members to give out information and for people to give donations if they want.

“About a month ago we were kind of coming up, because you know, we usually stick with a spring philanthropy event,” Rauba said. “But, you know, we were kind of eager to

throw a fall one because we just had a lot of time left in the semester.”

The fraternity aims to sell 500 tickets at $10 each, Rauba said, and the goal is the get the maximum amount of money possible to help the Red Cross. There is also a chance to make even more money off of the face painting and pumpkin carving.

Delta Sigma Phi also does work with the Humane Society of Lubbock, he said, and during weekends the members help the staff walk the dogs and help with other dog duties.

Rauba said the motivation behind helping out these organizations keeps him and other members stick to the fraternity motto, “better men, better lives.”

“I guess it’s just intrinsic motivation,” he said, “but it’s just part of being a better man, and that’s

Monuments Men Foundation to close due to lack of funds

[Amnesty] (Student Code of Conduct Part 1, Section A, 12)

Homeless individuals can be found across the Lubbock community, and some of those without homes have families.

Doug Morris, executive director of Family Promise, said the nonprofit organization does case management to help the adults of these families find jobs.

“We pay their utilities and we give them a place to stay,” he said. “We actually move them from homelessness into their own home.”

The entire process usually takes between 60 and 90 days to complete, Morris said, and the nonprofit aims to provide more than just shelter for the families.

This week was Family Promise Week, and Miller Girls and PEGASUS helped plan the events for the week.

“We always need volunteers,” Morris said. “If student organizations need a service project, there’s always things to do, even if it’s just coming and playing games with the kids.”

said. “And we hope to make a great difference.”

Both groups give their time and energy to their own causes, they said.

Sometimes it does take time to get things organized and to plan events, Rauba said, but seeing where and what the money goes to gives an incentive to keep doing that work.

“There’s a lot of behindthe-scenes work that people like me (do),” he said.

“We love this stuff, we love planning events that benefit the local community.” @MichaelCantuDT

Family Promise also needs supplies for the families, and diapers are an important supply because the families go through 10,000 diapers a year.

One of the events during Family Promise Week was a pumpkin patch for the families, and Texas Tech students were the main organizers.

“Last Friday we moved a family from our facilities to their own duplex,” Morris said. “Here in Lubbock there are over 300 homeless, so we help with families. We do a background check and we do drug tests. As long as they’re looking for employment or working, they stay with us and we help them save their money.”

Family Promise also helps people learn to better budget their money, and it arranges for child care for the children.

Morris said it is beneficial to move families from homelessness into homes of their own.

“They just feel so much better about themselves,” he said. “They want to provide

a better life for their kids.

We help them do that, so it’s pretty satisfying.”

Family Promise needs volunteers throughout the year and also has intern positions for students, Morris said, and anyone who is interested in helping can contact the nonprofit through Morris or on its website. @JenRomeroDT

Team reaches out to community

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

Every month, the Texas Tech softball coaching staff and players find ways to participate in community outreach activities in Lubbock.

For the month of October, Tech’s softball team visited Legacy Elementary, a predominantly low-income school.

Tech junior infielder Kirsten Schwirtlich said members of the Red Raider squad played games, ate lunch and even joined in on a raider power chant with the children at the school.

“You could just see the passion they had for us just to be there,” Schwirtlich said. “You could just sense the adoration they had toward us, and it just gave us a different perspective over everything.”

Along with interacting with students at Legacy, players and coaches donated clothes for the Legacy students.

The visit to the local elementary school is part of Tech

COURTESY OF TECH ATHLETICS

Members of the Texas Tech softball team and coaching staff visited Legacy Elementary School earlier this month to play with kids and donate clothes. The visit was a part of the team’s gratitude events, which it does every month. softball’s gratitude events. Tech coach Adrian Gregory said the team joins in a variety of events to impact different areas of the Lubbock community.

“It’s just one of the gratitude events,” Gregory said. “We

spray that across any and all avenues of what we can think to try and help the community in regards of time, energy, money, anything we can do in.”

Tech softball’s gratitude events extend to multigen-

erational groups of people as the team plans to visit a local nursing home specialized in treating residents with neurological disorders.

For Schwirtlich, the visits to elementary schools and other

gratitude events give her a chance to gain a new perspective on her life.

“We walked out of there and it was just such an amazing feeling to see that they don’t even know us, but just

them knowing we were Tech softball players, they couldn’t get enough of us,” Schwirtlich said. “It gives back like that patch of like, ‘I see why I’m doing this,’ and these kids are so empowered by us.”

When the team visits residents at a nursing home, Schwirtlich said, the residents enjoy having someone who listens intently to them.

“They’re just so into us going and talking to them,” she said. “We want to know what they talk about, we want to know what their days are like and just let them know someone cares about them.”

To the team and staff, Gregory said, the events affect the players as they gain a greater appreciation of life.

“It becomes internal and it affects our kids and our staff just as much or more as it affects those out in the community,” Gregory said. “It helps our kids become more grateful as well as help those people we can facilitate any needs.” @DGaytanDT

Defense going into Norman with motivation

By BRANDON SOLIZ Staff Writer

The Texas Tech defense is coming into this week’s practice with motivation after one of its best outings of the season last weekend against the Kansas Jayhawks.

Tech’s offense struggled to score points in the game as sophomore quarterback Patrick Mahomes II threw for only one touchdown in the 30-20 victory.

Defensively, however, the Red Raiders were able to aid the offense,

which senior linebacker Micah Awe said is exciting because the offense is normally winning games.

“We weren’t used to it, especially since the defense has never won a game before,” Awe said. “But, it’s still not surprising because that’s our job, it’s to stop the other team’s offense from scoring points.”

Awe is currently tied for most tackles on the team with redshirt freshman linebacker Dakota Allen.

Both have 38 solo tackles on the year, ranking them at No. 30 in the

nation, according to the NCAA website.

Awe said he is looking forward to getting the younger defensive players to make more tackles, using the example of two Arizona State players who are currently tied at fourth in the nation for solo tackles.

“I hope to get us (in a position) like the two players at Arizona State who are at the top in tackles together,” Awe said.

“That’s great if your guy next to you has as many tackles as you and they’re

all growing up and the future is bright, so when I leave it’s not going to be a drop-off.”

Against Kansas, Tech’s defense was able to keep the Jayhawks from scoring in the first half.

Redshirt freshman defensive back Jah’Shawn Johnson intercepted a pass that was crucial for Tech and returned it for a touchdown, giving the Red Raiders a 3020 lead that would last until the end of the game.

Tech is currently 11th in the nation in turnovers and 17th in turnover margin, which is a point of

emphasis defensive coordinator David Gibbs has made since his hiring.

“Getting a turnover at the end, regardless of whether you score or not, our goal, like I said from day one, is to give our offense the ball back with a chance to win the game at the end,” Gibbs said. “We did that, that’s our job.”

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said he is proud of the improvement of the defense from last year, especially with the high-powered offenses in the Big 12.

The Big 12 Conference currently has five teams ranked in the top 20 in total offense in the nation.

“The definition of a successful defense in the Big 12 is a little bit different when you play offenses like there are,” Kingsbury said. “… I’ve been proud of their improvement and hopefully that continues, but we know we’re facing a very good offense (in Oklahoma) with good skill players so it’s going to be a tall test for us.”

Tech will be entering its 23rd all-time meeting with the Sooners, with Oklahoma claiming 16 wins in the series.

Oklahoma is currently ranked at No. 17 and is coming off of a 55-0 victory against the Kansas State Wildcats.

The Sooners only loss on the season came during week five against the Texas Longhorns.

Tech seeks bowl eligibility against No. 17 Sooners UPCOMING GAME

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

With a win against No. 17 Oklahoma at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, the Texas Tech football team will be bowl eligible.

Oklahoma will also be fighting to become bowl eligible, as the team is 5-1.

Two weeks ago, Texas handed the Sooners a surprising loss in the Red River Rivalry game. The Sooners put the loss behind them by dominating Kansas State 55-0 this past Saturday.

Victories in Norman do not come easily, as the Red Raiders are 9-2 all time in Norman.

Tech’s last road win against a top-25 team was against No. 3 Oklahoma in Norman in 2011, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

The Sooners have walked away from the matchup victorious each of the last three years, pushing their lead to 16-6 in the all-time series.

Senior running back DeAndre Washington, who has been at Tech since 2011, said a win in Norman is important to him. “(A win) would be huge. The last win we got was my freshman year against those guys up there,” he said. “That was huge. It’s always going to be a tough environment, so getting a W in their home stadium would be huge for our team.”

The biggest story surrounding Saturday’s matchup is Tech playing former quarterback Baker Mayfield for the first time.

Mayfield has compiled 1,875 passing yards plus 166 rushing yards and has scored 23 times this season. “(Mayfield is) older, more mature,” Tech coach Kliff

• • • • • FILE PHOTO/The Daily Toreador

Texas Tech running back DeAndre Washington celebrates after scoring during the third quarter of Tech’s 55-52 loss against TCU on Sept. 26 at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Kingsbury said. “They’re playing very well as an offense.”

Oklahoma senior wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been Mayfield’s favorite target, as he is on pace for a career year. Shepard is fifth in the conference in receiving yards and has five touchdowns, according to the Big 12 Conference website.

Shepard was injured when the two teams played each other last year, so the Sooners relied on the legs of freshman running back Samaje Perine.

Last year, Perine carried the ball 25 times for 213 yards and three touchdowns, according to the Tech Athletics website.

Perine has not had as many

chances to touch the ball this season under first-year offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley.

Riley was on the Tech coaching staff for seven years and has installed the pass-heavy spread offense in Norman.

Perine is averaging 70 rushing yards per game but 4.5 yards per carry, compared to 6.5 yards per carry last year.

He also had 21 rushing touchdowns last season compared to three so far this season, according to the conference website.

Tech defensive coordinator David Gibbs said whether the Sooner offense is throwing or running the ball, they are dangerous.

Tech/OU series full of upsets, heartbreak

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

Texas Tech and Oklahoma have played many memorable games against each other, and their rivaled history has been brief but full of thrills.

On Sept. 3, 1992, the rivalry began in Lubbock. The Sooners walked away with a 34-9 win against the Red Raiders in the two teams’ first-ever matchup.

The coach at the time, Spike Dykes, said he was disappointed about every aspect of that game, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador.

“I really hate the way we played tonight,” he said. “We had a great opportunity and we had a great crowd.”

It was not until three games later, in 1996, that Tech beat the Sooners for the first time by a final score of 22-12 in Norman, Oklahoma.

They won the game despite Tech Heisman hopeful and the nation’s leading rusher, running back Byron Hanspard, being held to less than 100 rushing yards for the first time in 17 games, according to the Tech Athletics website.

Hanspard ended with the fifth-best rushing season in NCAA history at the time, according to the website.

Throughout the next decade, the Red Raiders’ record against the Sooners fell to 1-7.

On Nov. 19, 2005, however, Tech broke through and beat Oklahoma in a 23-21 thriller in Lubbock.

Tech running back Taurean Henderson scored on a two-yard touchdown run with two seconds left in the game.

The play was reviewed and upheld, giving Tech the win.

The victory marked former Tech football coach Mike Leach’s first win over Bob Stoops in six tries, after working as an offensive coordinator with Stoops earlier in his career, according to a previous article in The DT.

“It’s not like I’m going to go out there on my rocking chair and sip herb tea and monitor the whole mysteries of life: Why is there air? What came first the chicken or the egg?” he said in the article.

“I’m going to sit there and go through my notes.”

After losing in Norman the following year, Tech upset Oklahoma in Lubbock again in 2007, 34-27.

The Sooners were ranked No. 3 at the time and lost the chance to play for a national championship after the loss.

Graham Harrell completed 47 out of 72 passes for 420 yards and two touchdowns in the game, according to a previous article in The DT. The next season, however, Oklahoma was able to exact its revenge.

No. 2 Tech entered the matchup against No. 5 Oklahoma with a 10-0 record but was stunned, 65-21. The loss ended the push for a perfect Red Raider season and the chance to play for a national championship.

In 2009, the Red Raiders beat the Sooners in Lubbock, this time 41-13.

With the win, Leach became the all-time winningest football coach in Tech history, surpassing Dykes’ record.

After the game, Leach quickly moved past the achievement and said he was looking forward to the next week’s game.

In 2011, Tech went into Norman and upset Oklahoma, which was ranked No. 3.

The Sooners were on a 39game home winning streak before the loss, according to a previous article in The DT. No opposing team had won in Norman in six years.

Former Tech quarterback Seth Doege led the Red Raiders in the matchup, throwing for 441 yards in the 41-38 upset.

“Everybody didn’t think we could,” Doege said in the article. “(Only) the people associated with Texas Tech

Since the unexpected win in 2011, Tech has gone 0-3 against its out-of-state rival.

In 2013 in Norman, the Red Raiders entered the game against the Sooners with a 7-0 record and a No. 10 ranking.

Junior quarterback Davis

Webb played in place of the injured Baker Mayfield, who will start for Oklahoma this weekend, and threw for 385 yards and two touchdowns.

With Tech trailing by eight points with just over a minute left, Webb and the offense failed to tie the game and lost 38-30.

“There were a lot of opportunities we didn’t execute on,” former Tech wide receiver Eric Ward said. “It’s just a lack of execution on our part.”

Tech will enter Saturday’s

game as double-digit underdog to No. 17 Oklahoma, but that has never stopped these two teams from upsetting each other before. @JeremyK_DT
