Former CASNR professor suing Texas Tech University

By MICHAEL CANTU News Editor

Claiming unfair treatment on the basis of his race, former faculty member Theo Udeigwe has filed a civil action lawsuit against Texas Tech.

Udeigwe, who was an associate professor with the College of Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources, claims the college subjected him to disparate treatment in an effort to eject him from the university, according to his official complaint. The treatments included a third-year tenure review process, which was not consistent with Tech guidelines.

According to the complaint,

Udeigwe’s termination was an act of retaliation by Michael Galyean, dean of CASNR and interim provost. Despite there being UDEIGWE no blemishes on his job performance, Udeigwe was subjected to a whites-only review panel, according to the complaint.

“In fact at one point, a senior academic official sought to have (Udeigwe’s) employment continued,” Amos Jones, attorney and spokesperson for Udeigwe, said.

Udeigwe also claims, in his complaint, he was harassed multiple times by Associate Dean David Weindorf after

Udeigwe filed a grievance against Galyean.

After a tenure hearing panel turned down his appeal for full tenure, Udeigwe claimed more sabotage on his job, according to the complaint.

This was just one of the many times the college was disparaging his tenure process, according to the complaint.

Udeigwe underwent tenure reviews multiple times that were not compliant with those of other faculty who were trying to accomplish the same goal, according to the complaint.

The complaint also states in January 2015, Udeigwe’s thirdyear review report was fabricated

in order to eject him from the university. Now that the official complaint has been formally submitted, they just have to wait until there are court dates set for trial hearings, Jones said.

In March 2015, Udeigwe objected, in writing, about the fabrications on his review, claiming again that Galyean was trying to get him out of the university, according to the complaint.

In May, the University Tenure Hearing Panel met to discuss Udeigwe’s appeal to stay on as a tenured professor, but, according to the complaint, it only addressed a fraction of his charges against CASNR. The complaint also states

the University Tenure Hearing Panel submitted falsified information to then-Interim President John Opperman.

“And what they’ll probably try to do is dismiss the case. That’s what always happens, and my cases don’t get dismissed,” Jones said. “And then when they do, they get reinstated.”

The complaint also states Weindorf used Udeigwe’s only graduate student against him through verbal testimony to make him look like a weak mentor. The student later confessed he was manipulated by Weindorf, according to the complaint.

Despite record-setting numbers, Tech falls 66-59 to Oklahoma

By KODICHI NWANKWO AND MICHAEL CANTU The Daily Toreador

Early voting for Texas Tech and the Lubbock County starts today.

Tech students, faculty and staff will be able to vote in the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. through Nov. 4.

Dorothy Kennedy, election administrator in Lubbock, said students who live off campus can vote at any of the United Supermarkets locations except the one on 50th Street and Indiana Avenue.

“We have eight participating United Supermarkets, which will be open for early voting from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from now to Nov. 4, except on Oct. 30. Our hours are 1-6 p.m. (on Oct. 30),” Kennedy said.

For students who did not get a chance to register in Lubbock County by Oct. 11, Kennedy said, the only option to participate in the process is to do what is called the limited ballot.

ELISE BRESSLER / The Daily Toreador

The limited ballot only works with students who have been registered in another Texas county, she said.

“You get to vote on the races that are the same between Lubbock county and your home county,” Kennedy said. “So for instance, the presidential and the state races but not local races because they are not in the proximity.”

The limited ballot allows an individual registered in any of the Texas counties to participate in the voting process. However, it can only be done during early voting and only at the county elections office at 1308 Crickets Ave., Kennedy said.

It is important for people to participate in early voting because it is a faster process as opposed to standing in line on Election Day on Nov. 8, Kennedy said.

“We are going to have some big numbers Monday and Tuesday,” Kennedy said. “We usually see Tuesday’s numbers higher than Monday.”

Coutee received the ball 10 times for 172 yards and one touchdown.

Defensively, Tech held Oklahoma’s offense drive to a minimum in the first quarter, with two turnovers. Tech’s defense showed improvement against Oklahoma’s offense with key stops being made.

SGA pushes for bike-sharing program

By REECE NATIONS Staff Writer

A new, affordable way for Texas Tech students to get around campus may be just around the corner.

The Student Government Association recently passed legislation in support of a bike-sharing program for students to use.

The legislation was passed on Oct. 6.

financial reasons up until this point,” SGA President Ben Sharp said. “An initiative like this one makes sense though, since our campus is one of the largest in the U.S.” Tech’s campus is a sprawling 1,839 acres in size, according to the Tech website.

Similar legislation has been enacted in the past but could not be acted upon because of the university’s tight budget, Sharp said.

The program will not replace any other means of transportation, such as buses, he said. Bike-sharing will only grant students another option for traversing the campus, so they can get to classes on time. “(Bike-sharing) is definitely something that could benefit the student body,” Sharp said. “I think its installation would be a welcomed change for Tech students.”

The main problem hindering the program’s success is the financial issues associated with it, Alex DeRossi, SGA external vice president, said. The necessity for such a program has always been

present, but startup costs were too high in the past. “ N o w w e ’ r e p a r t n e ring with a company called Zagster, a business that brings bike-sharing to college campuses,” DeRossi said. “Their services are cheap, and they basically do all the work associated with the process of installation and maintenance.”

Zagster ’s consultants come to colleges all across the U.S., survey the campuses for ideal station locations and then go to work installing them, he said.

Zagster also performs repair and maintenance, data analysis, marketing and product promotion so the academic institutions do not have to.

The company makes its product available on a caseby-case basis for only a few dollars a month, DeRossi said. Zagster also has a companion app that eliminates the need for expensive kiosks to rent a bike.

“If someone hands you a tremendous student service on a silver platter, you’d be wrong to leave it on the

table,” DeRossi said. “The company already has a reputation of reliability and efficiency, so it only makes sense to act now and start making it easier for students to get around campus.”

Zagster’s bicycles feature eight gears, automatic lights, a bell and a front basket, according to the company’s website. In addition to the standard bike, it offers six models of accessible bicycles for mixed use in university bike-share systems.

Although the program will not be a stream of income for the administration, much of the startup costs needed to implement this program are covered by the company itself, DeRossi said. The program has the potential to be a highly beneficial resource for students.

“It’s a challenge getting around sometimes, especially since Tech has such a huge campus in the first place,” he said. “But with this bikesharing program, all of Texas Tech will be more accessible than ever.” @ReeceNationsDT

Police respond to burglary, State board awards suspect shot early Sunday Tech Red to Black At around 2 a.m. Sunday, Lubbock police responded to a burglary call at the 3700 block of 28th Street.

When officers arrived on the scene, they found the suspect lying on the floor with a single gunshot wound to the abdomen, according to a Lubbock Police Department news release. The suspect broke through the back door to the house, where a family of six resided.

One of the house residents heard the suspect

break in and alerted his parents about an unknown person in the house, according to the release. The father of the house warned the suspect he had a gun, called the police and asked the suspect to leave.

After the verbal warning, according to the release, the suspect told the family to leave the house, as he poured lighter fluid on the floor and attempted to light the house on fire.

The father warned the

suspect to stop, but he refused to do so and became more agitated and began to approach the father.

The suspect backed the father into a corner, and the father shot the suspect in the stomach, according to the release.

The suspect was transported to Covenant Health with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the release. No arrests have been made at this time. @MichaelCantuDT

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Newspaper analysis: Latinos underrepresented in local politics AUSTIN (AP) — A newspaper analysis has found deep patterns of underrepresentation of Texas’ fast-growing Hispanic population on city councils and county commissioners courts across the state.

The Austin AmericanStatesman reports that more than 1.3 million Hispanics in Texas live in cities or counties with no Hispanic

representation on their city council or commissioners court. The disparities remain high even when accounting for noncitizens.

It’s an imbalance that’s especially acute at the highest levels of local government. In a state where Hispanics make up 38 percent of the population, only about 10 percent of Texas mayors and county judges are Hispanic.

In county government, Latino representation has largely stagnated during the past two decades. In 1994, Latinos made up 10 percent of county commissioner positions; today, the percentage has inched up to 13 percent — even

though the state’s Hispanic population nearly doubled during that time.

Lydia Camarillo, vice president of the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project, said that while some areas of the state — notably South Texas — have seen sharp rises in the number of Latinos elected to local office, the Statesman’s findings show “there is still disparity in your face” across Texas.

Statewide election experts and Hispanic officeholders in some of the state’s most underrepresented regions say the disparity defies easy explanation.

After a Thursday meeting with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Texas Tech’s financial education program Red to Black was recognized for excellence.

The program distances itself away from other university programs in that instead of having professionals advise students, Red to Black has students educate other students on money management, according to a Tech news release.

For this award, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board learned of the program

LAWSUIT

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 The more aggravating part for Udeigwe, Jones said, was his work with the college. There had been no formal complaints lodged against him, and it was only through these various tenure committee meetings that most of his problems started to rise.

Jones said there is definitely a case on racially discriminatory practices against Udeigwe, who is Nigerian.

“I think the burden of proof is definitely on them with all of these departments that don’t have black faculty,” Jones said. “And then they tried to hire, to go out and hire, another Nigerian just like Dr. Udeigwe after we filed the federal charges.”

Formally, a complaint has been lodged against Tech. However, the university has yet to be served with the lawsuit, Victor Mellinger, deputy general counsel, said.

After Udeigwe filled an Equal Employment Opportunity complaint against the university, the office immediately kicked it back, citing no evidence of wrongdoing, Mellinger said.

Before a case like this can go to trial, it has to be sent to the Attorney General’s office, Mellinger said.

“I believe we will have a motion to dismiss (the case)

and after proper research decided to bestow the recognition, according to the release.

Since Red to Black began in 2001, it has had 331 volunteers, given more than 1,300 presentations and met one-onone with more than 1,235 students, according to the release.

“I was thrilled,” Angela Mazzolini, program director of Red to Black, said in the release.

very quickly,” he said.

If they proceeded the case would then go to trial, Mellinger said. There are not, however, many instances in which cases like these go to trial. This is mostly because Udeigwe did not file the proper appeals after he was told in March 2015 that his appointment and contract would not be renewed.

He was given a terminal year, in which he was granted an extra year at the university and given time to appeal the process if he wanted to, Mellinger said.

“He could have appealed it on three bases.

One is that we violated his academic freedom. He didn’t appeal on that,” Mellinger said. “The other is some violation of the constitutional right, basically that he was discriminated against. He did not appeal it on that basis.

The third was that we failed to follow our policy.”

Udeigwe did appeal on the basis that Tech did not follow proper policy procedure, but a hearing panel found CASNR did not violate its policies, Mellinger said.

“But he did not appeal it, at that time, on the basis of discrimination,” Mellinger said. “And he could have, he should have, if that’s what he believes was the reason for his non-reappointment.” @MichaelCantuDT

VOTING

in states that are changing political stances, McKee said.

In states like Utah, which is usually a Republican stronghold, there is a decrease in voters who are more than likely to vote Republican, and the independent and Democrat ticket has increased.

The change says a lot about the unpopularity of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, McKee said.

Here in Texas, however, the numbers of registered voters have climbed to more than 15 million, but that is not an absolute forecast to what can happen during early voting and on election day, McKee said.

“By no means (is there a connection). In 2014, the turnout in Texas, from the eligible electorate, was the third-lowest in the country,” he said. “So, Texas is not a very participatory state, and of course, that’s one of the things that’s an advantage for Anglos

in the Republican Party.”

With that being said, Hispanic turnout in the state has been low, he said.

“That’s something to keep an eye on. I mean, it’s one thing to say, ‘Well, you know, that state’s becoming more and more Hispanic, so that should be good for Democrats,’” McKee said. “But you have to vote at a higher rate.”

For decades Texas has been one of the few states that has made early voting easy and convenient for its voters, McKee said. Numerous grocery stores and places of business have set up polling locations around the state, including in Lubbock.

“A lot of other states have early voting. For example, I used to live in Florida not too long ago, and they don’t make it nearly as convenient,” McKee said. “You don’t get to go to the grocery store, at least I didn’t while I lived in Florida.”

As things stand now, nationally there is more of a Democratic lean based on some early voting predictions from around the country, according to a recent article from The Washington Post.

In states like North Carolina, Democrats have used early voting as a way to mobilize primarily black voters, Seth McKee, associate professor of political science, said.

Historically, there has not been such a high shift from Republican controlled states to neutral or Democratic states, McKee said.

“It’s an interesting thing, because there’s no reason that there should necessarily be a partisan flavor to (early voting),” he said. “When you think about it, anybody can really early vote.”

Hipsters ascend past clichéd non-conformity

W

e have all seen them. We have all seen those weird un-showered dudes who sport tattered jeans, tapdancing shoes, flannels, man buns and facial hair.

Perhaps on Facebook, these confused subjects will inform you of their desire to be different or ironic.

Some Vice article or an action shot of him drinking “craft beer” with a blonde girl in overalls is often an essential element in their Facebook-mediated cry for attention.

This overalled girl is of a similar breed.

While the outfit is designed to look as if she slept in a Ukrainian bus station, she actually put an immense amount of thought into looking “edgy and different.”

However, when compared with the previously discussed male hipster, this girl’s symptoms manifest differently.

In such a person, you will find a dream catcher tattoo or a flock of birds placed

upon her arm or back.

Often times — to prove she is a non-conformist — she will shoot a bull ring through her septum.

Returning to my evaluation of both genders, these folks typically lean left politically and secretly see themselves as profound messengers of an alternative order, as a new wave of creative thinkers who will reinvent society with their esoteric music and shining nose rings.

This societal order is known exclusively as “the hipster.”

The one problem with their lifestyle stems from the fact that the pursuit of a hipster existence is a hackneyed attempt to become a non-conformist.

As a staunch non-conformist myself, I believe all the ironic activities hipsters partake in — the donning of tattered clothes, bull rings and fa-

cial hair — are becoming tired concepts which all hipsters are doing.

Thus, the hipster is conforming to a non-conformist lifestyle. This issue is why I propose a revolution amongst the masses. Lubbock needs a hipster diaspora.

We live in one of the least hip towns on earth.

Therefore, for a hipster to move to Lubbock would be the ultimate non-conformist move.

A true hipster non-conformist should desire to live ironically in Lubbock, a place where trying to be like everybody else is an essential nuance of the culture.

By following a few of my upcoming suggestions, a Lubbock hipster can become one of the most ironic non-conformists on Earth.

Imagine this: A man comes to Lubbock ironically, eager to soak up the culture of one of the most hideous areas of our planet.

This clean-shaven man will don a pair of wranglers, cowboy boots and

even a “Simply Pi Phi” or “Delta after Dark” shirt.

He will act just like every other incredibly unoriginal person. However, this person will have ulterior motives.

By conforming to Texas Tech’s most common and annoying trends, he thus nonconforms with the hipsters, reaching what is known as the second-dimension of non-conformism.

We live in one of the least hip towns on Earth. Therefore, for a hipster to move to Lubbock would be the ultimate nonconformist move.

By ironically dashing around campus, appreciating the flat lands, climbing the arid trees and poking fun at the subtleties of Tech culture, he will show an unprecedented level of commitment to the ironic lifestyle.

By trying to be like everybody else, he separates himself from the hipster crowd. This is what I call the conformist paradox.

To illustrate this paradox, the few first-dimension Lubbock hipsters I have seen — their colonies being the Climbing Wall on campus, First Friday Art Trail and Yellow House Coffee — often frequent Palo Duro and Caprock Canyon to escape their plight as Lubbock denizens.

Embracing Lubbock, this new second-dimension tribe will be of a different breed.

Aging upwards of 23, these people will pilgrimage from the boroughs of New York, Portland and Seattle to Lubbock.

Then they will rush fraternities and frequent Greek Circle and Crickets Draft House & Grill.

Making a point to not support local businesses, they will go to Starbucks.

They will ironically sip Keystone or Lonestar and dabble in the culture of

the Red Raiders.

Yet among all of these festivities, second-dimension hipsters will stay true to their one goal: carving out an existence different from their previous cold-brew-drinking, farm-to-table lifestyle.

These lost souls will reach enlightenment, as they realize they have conformed to a level that breaks them away from their clichéd hipster ways.

Hipsters around the globe, it is time you give in.

Disrobe your flannel and go treat yourself to a Kalf Fry ticket.

Trade in your Subaru Outback and slap a ranch guard on a used truck.

A true non-conformist will conform for ironic reasons. I implore you to reach the second dimension.

A genuine hipster will find Lubbock his home and appreciate the subtle ridiculousness of what this wasteland has to offer. opinions@dailytoreador.com

‘Over the Garden Wall’ captures essence of autumn

I

am proud to say I have never turned on the TV in my apartment.

The only thing I ever see on the sleek black screen is the reflection of the motionless couch and coffee table that sit in front of it.

I didn’t even turn the thing on to watch the presidential debates. Instead, I watched them online.

My decision to neglect the tube stems from the procrastination issues I dealt with in high school.

Even though I continue to struggle with procrastination in college, I realized that a large part of my procrastination problem in high school came from my TV addiction.

Because of TV, I had an exceedingly difficult time completing my homework.

Nowadays, I’m a bit scared to turn on the TV. I

fear I will become a victim of some histrionic medical drama, an overplayed reality show on the complicated life of its maudlin characters or, even worse, a soap opera.

I fear TV will take my procrastination skills to another level.

Some of you are probably thinking, “Hannah, there’s plenty of good shows on TV. You’re being silly.”

Don’t worry, I’m not here to tell you to stop watching television. Actually, I want to take a moment to brag on my favorite TV show of all time.

I know. I just criticized

television’s power to promote procrastination, and now I want to talk about my favorite TV show.

But as we are getting settled into the fall season — my favorite season — I want to introduce to you a wonderful cartoon miniseries that captures the essence of autumn: “Over the Garden Wall.”

“Over the Garden Wall” is a Cartoon Network miniseries comprised of 10 short episodes that were first introduced in November 2014.

The show’s creator, Patrick McHale, also worked on the very popular TV show “Adventure Time.”

“Over the Garden Wall” received excellent reviews and has won many awards, but I feel this spectacular show is still a bit underrated.

You’re probably wondering, what makes this show so awesome? Well, let me tell you.

The story centers around two half-brothers named Wirt and Greg, who find themselves lost in a forest not far from their home.

The brothers soon discover the forest is a mysterious realm called The Unknown and that they are nowhere near home.

Not only does “Over the Garden Wall” have a compelling story line, the show is extremely visually appealing.

Its delightful imag es carry a 19th-century Americana atmosphere.

Pumpkins, turkeys, cornfields, schoolhouses, pastoral music and a variety of other autumn imagery is seen and heard throughout each episode.

At times, “Over the

Garden Wall” can be humorous and enchanting.

Greg, the younger of the two brothers, strives to annoy his brother through repeating annoying phrases and noises.

Wi r t , o n t h e o t h e r hand, is a young, nerdy teenager who lacks courage and struggles to find his identity.

At other times, the show can be downright f r i g h t e n i n g . Wi r t a n d Greg often find spooky places and things — trees with faces, a creepy old inn, a turtle-eating ghost and a pumpkin-clad cult, among others — as they make their way through The Unknown.

“Over the Garden Wall” features a colossal collage of colorful characters that either help or hurt the brothers as they try to

find their way back home.

Perhaps the scariest character of all is the peculiar Beast, who lurks eerily in the background and haunts the boys’ every move.

While the show is catered to kids, its dark elements make it perfect for adults as well.

The Unknown has multiple interpretations, and the show embraces themes of death, judgment and courage.

If you watch a lot of TV, be sure to check out “Over the Garden Wall.”

If you’re like me and don’t like to watch a lot of TV, I still encourage you to watch it.

Make some soup, grab a blanket, get comfy and enjoy this spooky bedtime story. But finish your homework first. hdeeter@dailytoreador.com

CD release party showcases artists chosen for album

By DAVID GAY L a Vida Editor

Artists chosen for the first Lubbock Music Now compilation album performed their songs to a full house at the CD release party on Sunday at the Blue Light Live.

This party gave the artists the chance to perform not only their songs on the album but also their other material.

According to a previous article in The Daily Toreador, artists submitted songs to be a part of this compilation album.

After all the songs were submitted, a committee made up of members from the Texas Grammy Board made the selections for what was going to be on the album.

James Eppler, chairman of the Entertainment Committee of Civic Lubbock, the organization that put this album together, said this album was a way to let people know about the great music Lubbock has to offer.

“The fact that there was such a good turnout today lets me know that people believe that message, and they are here to see it,” Eppler said. “It’s a very exciting thing.”

Jerry Serrano, vocalist and guitarist for the Alma Quartet, a band that participated in the compilation, said this compilation is a great way to showcase music currently happening in Lubbock.

Often, people focus on the music produced in Lubbock in the past,

Serrano said. However, people should recognize that original music is still being made in Lubbock.

“The cool difference is that all these people are making music now and continuing to make music,” Serrano said. “It’s a cool thing for guys trying to make things happen musically.”

Serrano and the Alma Quartet got the chance to perform a set as a part of the release party. They performed their song “Day after Day” as well as other original material.

Serrano said it was fun performing for this audience, but he was not used to playing for this type of audience.

“I don’t get to play in the day time often, so a lot of the crowds who don’t stay up late don’t hear me or hear who I am,” Serrano said. “So, it was a cool experience to get to play my music for a different audience and a music-loving audience.”

It was not just artists who submitted material for the album. Civic Lubbock reached out to local photographers and graphic designers to design the cover of the compilation.

Ashley Sade, the designer of the cover, said she used pictures she had taken at different CD release parties to create the cover.

Not a musician herself, Sade said she wanted to contribute somehow to this project. Music has always been a passion of hers, and she thought this project was a good reminder of the musical talent in Lubbock.

“Lubbock is not well known by everybody as being a music town,” Sade said. “In Lubbock, we have so many talented artists that feed cities like Austin, Dallas and Nashville. It’s great to give them the recognition they deserve.”

CDs were being sold at the release party, and to reach a bigger audience in the community, CDs will also be sold at local United Supermarkets locations, Eppler said.

“For us to have a presence in every (United Supermarkets) store in Lubbock is going to be the best way to build buzz about this year ’s album and years to come,” Eppler said.

Eppler said he hopes next year Civic Lubbock will get to produce more CDs than it did this year.

Eventually, it might have to add more artists and end up having a doublealbum every year. “ R i g h t n o w, w e a r e comfortable with where we are,” Eppler said. “In terms of growth, we hope to have more people come out to this event next year.

We hope we have to produce more CDs to sell next year because the demand is so big.”

Sade said there is nowhere to look but up in terms of the potential of this event.

“I look forward to seeing it in 10 and 20 years and keep inviting me to be a part of this,” Sade said.

“It’s exciting for the city of Lubbock.” @DavidGayDT

Make A Difference Day brings community together

By DAVID GAY L a Vida Editor

Volunteering is an important part of making the community grow. Students and members of the Lubbock community help different parts of the society through volunteering.

Make A Difference Day is a day for volunteering hosted by the Volunteer Center of Lubbock on Saturday. Through this, many nonprofit organizations and volunteer agencies at Lubbock come together to help the community.

Roxana Rashid, a junior public relations major from Dallas, works for the Volunteer Center of Lubbock. Rashid said many of the organizations partner with the Volunteer Center of Lubbock to recruit volunteers to help with projects including cleanups and animal care.

The Volunteer Center of Lubbock reaches out to these nonprofit organizations and different agencies to help organize Make a Difference Day, Rashid said.

“Our job is to recruit volunteers,” Rashid said.

“We don’t decide what g o e s o n t o d a y, w e a s k agencies and see if there is something they need help with.”

Make A Difference Day is one of the most popular days to volunteer in the year, Rashid said. However, it is important for people to volunteer all the time, so they can see the impact they make on the community.

ELIZABETH HERTEL/The Daily Toreador

Zoe Carpenter, an eighth grade student, participates in Make A Difference Day. She helped volunteer by making cards in the Lubbock Volunteer Center on Saturday morning.

Jungwon Park, a Texas Tech alumna and youth services coordinator for the Volunteer Center of Lubbock, said volunteering is a way Tech students can get involved with their community.

“Lubbock is a college town,” Park said. “Getting to know our community and all these nonprofit organizations in Lubbock is a great opportunity to help them figure out what they want to do. This is a great way to get connected with a nonprofit.

It’s about building relationships. I did biology in my undergrad, and now I am doing this. It’s a great way to figure out what you are good at.”

Days like Make a Difference Day is a good way for students to start volunteering, Rashid said.

“There’s a lot of people

who are here that are (volunteering here) for the first time,” Rashid said.

“For college kids, they only volunteer when they need to volunteer, with organizations and sororities and fraternities. I think because of today; more people know about it.”

Alex Hellberg, a senior music education major from Plano, said he was volunteering by making bookmarks for Lubbock Literacy as part of his communications, civility and ethics class.

Hellberg volunteered in Plano, and he said he it is important to see the impact one can make on the community. “ ( Vo l u n t e e r i n g ) i s a great opportunity especially for people who have not done it before,” Hellberg said. @DavidGayDT

Academy member calls out Dylan's silence COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A member of the Swedish Academy that awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature to Bob Dylan says the American singer-songwriter's silence since receiving the honor is "impolite and arrogant."

P e r Wa s t b e r g s a i d Dylan's lack of reaction to the honor the academy bestowed on him last week was predictable, but disrespectful nonetheless.

"One can say that it is impolite and arrogant. He is who he is," Wastberg was quoted as saying in Satur-

day's edition of the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter.

Wa s t b e r g s a i d t h e academy still hopes to communicate with the 75-year-old artist, whose Nobel credits him with creating "new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."

KALF FRY GREEK LIFE

Fraternal organizations host annual country music event to raise money for ALS, MDA research

1.

By ARIANNA AVALLE Staff Writer

The Lubbock and Texas Tech community came together to listen to country music and raise money for a good cause.

Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Alpha Order hosted their annual philanthropy event Kalf Fry at 7 p.m.

Friday at the Lone Star Amphitheater. The concert featured Randy Rogers Band, William Clark Green and Red Shahan.

Andrea Conklin, a freshman management major from Idalou, came to this event to spend time with her friends and to meet new people. She said she enjoys this genre of music and Green is her favorite artist.

“I like how his songs are really earthy,” Conklin said. “They come across as real country. They don’t have a mix of pop or rock.”

Conklin said this was her first time going to Kalf Fry, and she enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the outdoor location.

Brock Ricks, a freshman computer science major from Lubbock, is a member of Phi Delta Theta who worked at the food stand along with his fellow fraternity members.

There were a variety of food options, including cotton candy, tacos and a choice of drinks.

Ricks said this event is

for charity and is one of the major philanthropy events for the fraternity. All the money that is collected from the tickets and the stands’ sales fund Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Muscular Dystrophy Association research.

“This year promises to be one of the most successful years,” Ricks said. “Last year, we raised over $30,000.”

This is the kind of relaxed and fun environment everyone loves to be around, he said.

Blake Letcher, a freshman finance major from Midland and a member of Phi Delta Theta, said he likes Kalf Fry because the event brings many of the people in Lubbock together to listen to some good country music.

Katie Lezak, a senior finance major from Angleton, said she has attended this event every year since she was a freshman.

Green was her favorite artist of the night because his songs are down-toearth, and his music is very upbeat. The song “Ringling Road” is amaz-

Namaste: Women defend wearing yoga pants in peaceful parade BARRINGTON, R.I. (AP) — Hundreds of women, girls and other supporters proudly donned their yoga pants Sunday afternoon as they peacefully paraded around the Rhode Island neighborhood of a man who derided the attire as tacky and ridiculous.

Alan Sorrentino says the response to the letter to the editor, printed in The Barrington Times Wednesday, has been "vicious" and that he's received death threats.

He implored marchers to stay away from his home

and maintained the letter was meant to be humorous.

But organizers say the so-called yoga pants parade wasn't a protest against Sorrentino specifically but part of a bigger movement against misogyny and men dictating how women should dress.

More than 300 people — many of them women and young girls — came out for the social mediadriven event in the affluent, coastal town of Barrington, the Providence Journal reported.

Many wore yoga pants of varying styles and colors.

They gathered at a local elementary school and marched along neighborhood streets, some holding pink signs that said "Peaceful Pants Party."

They also collected personal hygiene items for the Sojourner House, a local domestic violence organization. Marchers ended with a group yoga session on a grassy area by the school.

Sorrentino, in his letter, described yoga pants as the worst thing in women's fash-

ion since the miniskirt. He argued that yoga pants belong in the yoga studio and that women over age 20 shouldn't wear them in public.

Sorrentino said it was particularly "bizarre and disturbing" to see the outfits on "mature, adult women." He then suggested those women wear a "nice pair of tailored slacks" or jeans instead.

Sorrentino told WPROAM the letter was meant to be a humorous break from the current political campaign rhetoric and that he

doesn't really have an issue with yoga pants. He says he even owns a pair.

Sorrentino likened the death threats and expletive-laden voicemails he says he's received to what he's experienced for years as an openly gay man.

"It's vicious and intimidating," he said Saturday on WPRO-AM. "The fact that this is seen as an appropriate reaction to something I wrote in the paper is really disgusting."

Organizers said they invited Sorrentino to their

event, but that he "very impolitely declined."

On Sunday, a police detail was posted in front of Sorrentino's home, which had a hand-written banner saying "Free Speech" hanging over it.

On their Facebook page, parade organizers urged participants not to engage with Sorrentino or any other residents negatively.

"Please do not come for a fight, you will be shut down," a recent post read.

Police and organizers declined to comment Sunday.

Drill Team stands guard during vigil for POWs

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

Members of the Texas Tech Sabre Flight Drill Team stood toward the back of the Lubbock Area Veterans War Memorial in full uniform, drill rifles at their side.

They began a 24-hour guard at 6 a.m. Saturday as part of a vigil for soldiers missing in action outside memorial.

The memorial became dedicated on Dec. 7, 2003, to honor the members of the U.S. Armed Forces who fell in battle, according to the American Legion website.

Logan Baldwin, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from Weatherford, said the drill team has a specific mission statement.

“To produce competent leaders, to precision drill and knowledge of military customs and courtesies,” Baldwin said. “That is our actual mission.”

The memorial was quiet, open for anyone to come and

pay his respects. Hundreds of names were scripted on the red bricks that covered parts of the memorial, detailing the names of the fallen, their military branch, the war they were killed in and their hometowns. The wars listed ranged from World War II to the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The soldiers were not only from Texas but also from other states such as New Mexico and Virginia.

Kelley Bedoe is a member of the drill team and a Lubbock Christian University senior criminal justice major from Glendale, California.

Bedoe said the purpose of this event is to commemorate the men and women who have gone missing or have been captured, and the names of those soldiers are written on the memorial.

“It’s something that we do every semester,” Bedoe said.

“This is kind of a replica, I want to say, of what they actually do at Arlington Cemetery in Washington.”

Baldwin said this ritual is meant to invoke how soldiers at Arlington Cemetery guard the graves of unknown soldiers.

Bedoe said other events that the Sabre Flight Drill Team performs are Color Guards and Sabre Arches.

“On Nov. 11, we’re doing a joint color guard with the army at Memorial Circle,” Bedoe said. “It’s actually going to be a huge event.”

Bedoe said Nov. 11, which is Veterans Day, is usually an important date for the team.

For the loved ones of soldiers either missing or being held prisoners, Baldwin said he offered his condolences and advised to focus on the bigger picture.

“I would say understand why they decided to fight,” Baldwin said, “why your loved one who is a prisoner of war is doing what he is doing, doing what she is doing.”

Baldwin said one is at peace when living in the present, anxious when living

Taylor Swift plays Formula One concert

Erik Wallace, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from McKinney, slices beef during the Beta Theta Pi tailgate on Saturday behind Varsity Bookstore.

AUSTIN (AP) — With their red, white and blue tutus and Taylor Swift T-shirts, Rachel Emling and Mikala Crews were everything Formula One wanted at the U.S. Grand Prix: young fans who would travel across the country for a mix of pop stars and fast cars.

Te n s o f t h o u s a n d s packed into the Circuit of the Americas on Saturday night for Swift’s only concert of the year at Formula One’s only race on American soil.

Formula One’s goal in booking Swift was to hook a new generation of fans to their sport in America, long considered an untapped market for the global racing series. Landing fans like Emling and Crews, NASCAR fans from Jacksonville, Florida, was exactly what they hoped for. They came for the concert and love the cars.

“We’ve been watching a little bit. It’s cool,” said

20-year-old Emling, who said they’ll return for Sunday’s race. “We like racing.”

The race weekend scheduled her show after Saturday qualifying and before Sunday’s race. One group watching is Liberty Media, the American group that is taking over Formula One’s commercial entity and will be looking for ways to grow the sport. Track president Bobby Epstein had predicted as many as 40,000 would be lured in by Swift.

The concert was a big opportunity for the singer as well. Swift’s face was splashed all over publicity efforts for the race that promoters hope will draw 250,000 this weekend just as Swift is rumored to be close to releasing a new album. And she’s not alone in the music lineup. Usher and The Roots were scheduled to play at the track after the race Sunday night.

North Carolina civil rights hero from 60s takes criticism as Trump backer HIGH POINT, N.C. (AP) — Clarence Henderson was hailed as a hero nearly 60 years ago when as a young black man he participated in a sit-in at a segregated North Carolina lunch counter.

In 2016, he is again taking a risky stand; he is supporting Donald Trump.

And he isn’t shy about it. Last month he gave the invocation at a Trump rally here, smiling as he shook the Republican candidate’s hand.

“Donald Trump is certainly not a politician, and politicians are a dime a dozen, but leaders are priceless,” Henderson said in an interview.

Trump is deeply unpopu-

lar in the black community.

He has called on black voters to vote for him because “what the hell do you have to lose?”

His support among blacks is less than the margin of error in some polls.

Henderson, 74, has been criticized for his stance, with many taking to Twitter to accuse him of abandoning the principles he fought so hard for more than half a century ago.

Henderson shrugged off the criticism, saying he isn’t paying any attention to it.

And he has gotten some support from one of his fellow activists. Jabreel Khazan was one of the first four protesters to sit down at the Woolworth’s

lunch counter. And though he supports Hillary Clinton, he said he had no problem with Henderson’s choice.

“God bless him and all of those who have a second opinion,” said Khazan, whose name was Ezell Blair at the time of the protest. “We should not be a one-minded people.”

Henderson attended North Carolina A&T State University, when, as an 18-year-old, he joined the original four lunch counter protesters on the second day of their protest. He could no longer live under the official segregation known as Jim Crow, he said.

“I did it because it was the right thing to do,” he said.

Angry whites jeered at them, and he wondered if he and his fellow protesters would be brought out in handcuffs or on stretchers.

They were arrested, but their actions inspired similar protests throughout the south that led to the desegregation of lunch counters and other nonviolent protests against racist policies.

For a civil rights hero, he later ended up on a more unconventional political path that he credits to his father, a lifelong Republican.

“My dad, with a thirdgrade education, said to me, ‘Well, son, you don’t know what the Democratic party

Obama stood poised to become the first black president.

“I never thought I would see a black person become the president of the United States,” Henderson said.

“His ideologies were different from mine. After looking at his past history, I didn’t see him as a viable candidate.”

This year, Trump was not Henderson’s first choice for the GOP nomination. He supported Sen. Ted Cruz.

But now that Trump has the nomination, Henderson said he respects his business experience, even as he acknowledges the candidate’s off-the-cuff speaking style can be a problem.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Mixon ran the ball on 31 attempts for 263 yards and five touchdowns. Westbrook received the ball nine times for 202 yards and two touchdowns.

Junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes II bounced back from last week’s performance as he completed 52 out of 88 passing attempts for 734 yards and five touchdowns.

Mahomes set multiple records Saturday night including the NCAA FBS single-game record for total offensive yards, according to the Tech Athletics website.

“I played better with just getting the ball out, not taking the sacks, not trying to do too much, just trusting the offense,” Mahomes said. “And we had a lot more confidence going in this week. We wanted to go out and prove to everybody that last week was a fluke, and it wasn't going to happen again.”

At the beginning of the first quarter, Oklahoma started out fast with two touchdowns within the first four minutes of kickoff.

With a little more than seven minutes remaining in the first quarter, Tech matched Oklahoma with a touchdown of its own after a 4-yard run from freshman running back Da’Leon Ward.

“A little bigger body. He fell forward on some third downs that we'd been stuffed on earlier in the season. That's really why he was getting those reps.”

Tech defense was able to stop Oklahoma’s offensive drive, and sophomore kicker Clayton Hatfield scored a field goal with a little more than a minute remaining in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, Tech trailed Oklahoma by a field goal, 13-10.

Throughout the second quarter Tech and Oklahoma battled it out in back-andforth scoring drives.

At the beginning of the second half, Oklahoma started to extend its lead after junior quarterback Baker Mayfield connected with Mixon for a 46-yard touchdown, increasing the Sooner lead to 20-10.

Tech followed up Oklahoma’s touchdown after Mahomes ran in the ball for 11 yards with a little more than nine minutes remaining in the half. Yet again, Tech closed the Sooner lead to a single field goal, making the score 20-17.

Oklahoma’s offense was stopped on third down by Tech’s defense and was forced to attempt a field goal by sophomore kicker Austin Seibert. The score stood, with Oklahoma leading Tech, 23-17.

Red Raiders fall to Horned Frogs, 1-0

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Staff Writer

With both teams struggling to rise above in the Big 12 Conference, Texas Tech soccer could not rally back from its losing streak, suffering its fifth straight loss by falling to Texas Christian University on Sunday, 1-0.

The Red Raiders took another blow to their record, and it now stands at 8-7-2 overall and 1-6 in conference play.

With the tough-fought win over Tech, TCU’s overall record sits at 9-5-2 and its conference record increased to 1-5-1.

In the duration of the first half of play, both teams struggled to capitalize on corner kicks and open shot opportunities.

The Horned Frogs had their feel of the ball during the first 45 minutes, getting off a total of seven shots, but only two of those had a chance of being on goal. They also had

many more chances to set up a goal with four corner kicks, while Tech only had one.

TCU goalkeeper Katie Lund did not have many shots to face. She came up with just one save in the first half.

The Red Raiders struggled to get an opportunity at the net, getting only three shots off in the first half and only one of those being on target.

With all the shots TCU took early on, senior goalkeeper Lauren Watson did not get many touches in the net for Tech and came up with two saves.

The first shot of the game came within seconds from sophomore forward Gwennie Puente, but her shot was blocked and sent away from danger by TCU defenders. Puente continued to attack the net in the first half, getting off two of the three chances allowed.

The Horned Frogs attempted to combat with an opportuni-

ty of their own from sophomore midfielder Karitas Tomasdottir.

The open look at the goal did not make Watson work, as it went wide of the net.

The only other Red Raider to get a touch during the first 45 minutes was freshman forward Jade King, who is the leading scorer for Tech with five goals.

In the first 20 minutes, King got her chance, passing through TCU defenders, but what looked like a goal for Tech went wide of the net, and the game remained scoreless when time ran out.

When the whistle blew for the second half to begin, TCU took over the field and got on the board early.

The Horned Frogs attacked, resulting in several corner kick opportunities, one of which resulted in a TCU goal.

After a corner kick by senior forward Michelle Profar, senior midfielder Brittany Little rushed into the box and headed the cross

into the net to take the lead over the Red Raiders, 1-0.

Tech looked to get even with TCU after a yellow card resulted in a free kick opportunity for the Red Raiders.

Junior defender Rebekah O’Brien took the chance outside of the box, but she could not materialize as it grazed over the crossbar and out of play.

In the 90 minutes of play, Tech came up with a total of 10 shot opportunities, but only one of those was on goal.

TCU dominated the offensive presence, striking 17 shots with four being on goal, which resulted in the Horned Frogs’ first Big 12 win of the season.

The Tech soccer team will travel back home to take on its last Big 12 opponent of the regular season, the Oklahoma Sooners at 7 p.m. Friday at the John Walker Soccer Complex. @ABoutwellDT
