Split over $2B Water Infrastructure Fund AUSTIN (AP) — Early voting is underway on whether to tap the state’s rainy day fund to create a $2 billion water infrastructure fund, but while the constitutional amendment enjoys widespread support, there is vocal conservative opposition that could derail it in a low-turnout election.

Listed on the ballot as Proposition 6, the measure would allow the state to use the money to buy down the cost of bond financing for massive water development projects. The Texas Water Development Board says the state’s share of developing new water resources over the next 50 years is $27 billion and Proposition 6 will supply the seed money to meet that need. Local authorities would borrow from the fund and repay it with interest, allowing the fund to be used repeatedly to lower borrowing costs.

Gov. Rick Perry, House Speaker Joe Straus, and dozens of business and environmental groups support creating the State Water Infrastructure Fund. The current drought spurred the Legislature into action after decades of failing to adequately fund water projects needed to keep up with population and business growth.

Waco police seek 2 men after deadly drug deal WACO (AP) — Police are seeking two gunmen after a fatal shooting at a Central Texas apartment complex when an apparent drug deal went wrong.

Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton on Sunday said a woman who was with the victim wasn’t hurt.

Swanton says police on Saturday night responded to gunfire at some apartments and found 44-year-old Leslie David Lee of Purmela (perMEE’-luh) dead at the scene. Swanton says Lee and a woman allegedly went to the apartments to complete a drug deal. Two armed men then tried to steal the drugs.

Swanton says Lee also apparently had a gun and tried to draw the weapon when he was shot several times. The suspects fled.

An autopsy has been ordered.

Purmela is 50 miles west of Waco.

TEXAS TECH TIGHT end Jace Amaro fumbles the ball during the Red Raiders’ 38-30 loss against the Sooners on Saturday at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla.

Oklahoma’s balanced attack defeats Tech, fans remain supportive

By MICHAEL DUPONT II SportS editor

The undefeated streak ended for No. 10 Texas Tech (7-1, 4-1) as No. 15 Oklahoma won its Homecoming game 38-30, following yet another infamous weather delay in Norman, Okla.

The Sooners handed first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury his first loss with 84,734 fans in attendance.

Although the Red Raiders suffered their first loss, fans were still supportive of the team through social media, even trending the hashtag “InKliffWeTrust” on Twitter.

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops moves to 23-1 in his first meeting with Big 12 Conference coaches, his only loss being against current LSU coach Les Miles.

Redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Branden Jackson said Tech’s defense fell short against Oklahoma on third downs.

“Well as a defense we pride ourselves on winning third down and that’s what we call the money down,” he said, “today we didn’t get paid.”

The Sooners amassed 526 yards on offense while converting on seven of their 14 third-down attempts.

Redshirt junior quarterback Blake Bell led the Sooners offensive attack. Bell completed 14 passes for 249 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 45 yards on nine carries and another touchdown.

senior defensive lineman Kerry Hyder offered the Red Raiders another opportunity to steal momentum early in the game.

An interception from true freshman quarterback Davis Webb halted Tech’s drive following Hyder’s blocked field goal.

Webb completed 33 of his 53 pass attempts for 385 yards, adding two touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss.

The Red Raiders’ first score of the afternoon occurred when junior running back Kenny Williams tossed a halfback pass to senior receiver Eric Ward from three yards out, giving Tech an early 7-0 lead.

All of the talent Tech possesses on the offensive side of the ball allows it to be more creative in the way it chooses to spread the ball around, Ward said.

“This is a very explosive offense as you can see,” he said.

“We’ve got a lot of talented players. We’ve got Jace (Amaro), we’ve got Bradley (Marquez), Jakeem (Grant), I mean, it’s too many to mention. We’ve got the quarterbacks, and that’s a very talented position right there in itself. We have a lot of talented players on this team, we just got to figure out how to go out there and execute the opportunities that come to us.”

The Sooners responded in the second quarter with a pair of touchdowns from Bell to senior receiver Jalen Saunders.

Bell’s first touchdown pass to Saunders was from 15 yards out, capping off a 16-play, 97-yard drive for Oklahoma.

The National Ranching Heritage Center hosts several events throughout the year. Each fall, one event draws an average of 4,000 people in just a few hours.

Friday, the center hosted its seventh annual Heritage Halloween, an event geared toward families.

The event offers trick-or-treating at 13 of the National Ranching Heritage Center’s structures and provides candy that corresponds with the time period of each building.

In addition, the event includes kettle corn, hayrides, a cakewalk and crafts inside the center’s 6666 Barn.

The event, which draws a large number of people to the center, is not only a way to encourage people to visit the center, but also is an educational opportunity.

The center is attempting to create a way to show people the connection between each

person and the ranching lifestyle, said Emily Wilkinson, National Ranching Heritage Center educational director.

Upon entering the center, families are given a map so they can navigate through and collect their candy, all the while taking in the sights of the buildings that make up the center. At each station, children collect period-correct candy with the hope they will see the connection between the candy and the buildings.

“It’s neat to show the historic ties to candy,” Wilkinson said. “Seeing that this candy has been around as long as these structures have puts things in context for them and also gives people a fun, safe place to trick-or-treat.”

A volunteer with the center since 2007, Debbie Tumlison said she wanted to find a way to give back to her community and found the National Ranching Heritage Center. She and her husband did not grow up on ranches, but wish they had.

The Association of Political Science and Life Sciences hosted its annual meeting at 3:30 p.m. Friday in the Mesa Room of the Student Union Building.

The keynote speaker was Gad Saad, a renowned scientific writer and “Psychology Today” blogger, according to a news release. His speech was titled “Consuming Instinct: Juicy Burgers, Ferraris, Pornography and Gift Giving” and showed how consuming behavior has evolved for biological reasons.

Saad’s research has led him to the conclusion that consuming behavior is similar to the four Darwinian ele-

Saad explained the things people find appealing to eat is a result of the evolution of people’s taste buds and eating habits, which is why people may find juicy burgers more appealing than vegetables.

“People in today’s society are more inclined to eat fast food,” he said.

“That is why vegetables are hard to sell, no matter the advertising.”

Through his past research, Saad explained how high heels and cars have become an important part of mating behavior in today’s society.

PLAYWRIGHT TONY KUSHNER speaks to Mark Charney, chairman of the Department of Theatre and Dance, before his book signing Friday in the Allen Theatre.

Film Critics Circle Award among many others, according to a pamphlet given out at the event.

When Charney asked Kushner what persuaded him to participate in “Lincoln,” he responded with “money,” causing audience members to laugh.

Charney said less than 200 of the original 400 pages of the “Lincoln” screenplay were used for the movie, which prompts the question of whether viewers can expect a sequel.

“All I can say is I will never do another Lincoln movie un-

less Daniel Day Lewis plays the part of Lincoln,” Kushner said.

“He was the perfect person for the movie. He looks identical to Lincoln.”

Kushner concluded with one last bit of advice to the young people in the audience.

“Everyone should go against their upbringing,” he said. “Not doing so would be letting your parents off too easy.”

Famous playwright, screenwriter and author Tony Kushner spoke about multiple topics, including his childhood, the screenplay he wrote for the movie “Lincoln,” and politics at 7 p.m. Friday in the Student Union Building’s Allen Theatre.

Mark Charney, the chairman of the Department of Theatre and Dance, led the conversation with Kushner until the end when the audience asked questions.

“When I was asked what I wanted for Christmas, I said I wanted for Tony Kushner to come to Lubbock,” Charney said.

Kushner was born in New York City in 1956, but he was raised in Lake Charles, La. Kushner said living in Louisiana during the 1960s and 1970s allowed him to see the integration of African-Americans into his high school.

“To this day, the integration I saw has had a huge impact on me,” Kushner said. “It showed that if the government foments progress, progress happens.”

After high school, Kushner studied at Columbia University in New York where he earned a bachelor’s degree in medieval studies.

“Leaving Lake Charles was one of your first accomplishments as an adult if you lived there,” he said.

Kushner has produced plays, including “Angels in America,” “Hydrotaphia,” “Homebody/Ka-

University police arrested 18-year-old Zesen Shen and 21-year-old Kaiyu Lao, IU spokesman Mark Land said in a news release. Shen has been charged with intimidation and battery and Lao was charged with intimidation, Land said.

Police said Shen, Lao and a 20-year-old IU student were in the Tulip Tree apartment’s parking lot around 3:30 a.m., Land said.

Witnesses told campus police the three were there “to resolve a dispute when the suspects began chasing victim and wounded him with a knife,” Land said.

makes them look more youthful,” Saad said.

Through his research he said he found that if a male drives a sports car, he is more likely to appear more attractive and taller to women.

“In today’s society, cars are an extreme signal of status,” Saad said.

He also discovered males don’t care about a female’s material possessions. However, a female gives the material possession of a male a high importance when choosing a mate.

“Most people know that when someone is of kin to you, they are more likely to give you more money,” Saad said.

However, in a study Saad did about Israeli societies, he discovered the maternal side of a family is more

inclined to give people more money than the paternal side of the family.

To conclude his presentation, Saad mentioned the benefits of Darwinian consumer research: increased importance of explanations, helps uncover new phenomena, promotes pluralism and greater knowledge.

According to the Concordia University website, Saad is the research chairman in evolutionary behavioral sciences and Darwinian consumption at Concordia University where he also is a marketing professor. He also has published books and papers, including “The Consuming Instinct,” “Evolutionary Psychology in the Business Sciences” and “The Evolutionary Bases of Consumption.”

“Right now she really likes trains and tractors, so all of that is right up her alley.”

Her daughter already shows a love for history, Gault said, and she feels her daughter will appreciate the history behind the National Ranching Heritage Center more as she grows up.

For right now, Gault said she appreciates the center for offering a family-friendly place to trick-or-treat.

She said the wide-open spaces allow room for children to run around and offer a safe place to trick-or-treat where parents don’t have to worry as much.

Cultural Day promotes diversity

PARKOUR PRACTICE

By CHELSEA GRUNDEN Staff Writer

Music played throughout the room as students representing various cultures crowded the area with food, souvenirs and discussion. Booths lined the walls as students flowed from table to table for an around-the-world experience.

The basement of the Foreign Languages building acted as host to International Cultural Day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday.

“It’s just to inform people of different cultures and kind of spread the word about different programs and clubs,” Kimberly Abella, a sophomore biology major from Lubbock, said. “These are all the culture clubs that Tech has.”

With samples of French food and information about the French culture spread across the table, Abella and other French students were at the event representing the French department.

She said they wanted to spread information about the culture and the study abroad programs available.

Denny Berndt, a graduate student from Magdeburg, Germany, who is studying German literature and language, represented the German programs at Tech. He explained the multiple degrees offered about German culture, including undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Berndt said it was important to promote the German program because it is an important language.

He also explained how a minor in a language such as German could be helpful to business majors who want to work in an international front. He said knowing a different language could help boost their career.

At the German booth, Berndt said they tried to show as much of Germany as they could. The booth featured music from German musicians, such as Mozart and Beethoven. It also had gummy bears, which he said not many people know are from Germany.

“In United States, sometimes we have a misrepresentation of like Tex-Mex and everything,” Covarrubias said. “This booth is more to represent Mexico.

Sebelius to face tough questioning on health law WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans said Sunday they intend to press Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on the Obama administration’s troubled launch of healthcare.gov, the online portal to buy insurance, and concerns about the privacy of information that applicants submit under the new system.

The Obama administration will face intense pressure next week to be more forthcoming about how many people have actually succeeded in enrolling for coverage in the new insurance markets.

Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner is to testify during a House hearing on Tuesday, followed Wednesday by Sebelius before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The officials will also be grilled on how such crippling technical problems could have gone undetected prior to the website’s Oct. 1 launch.

“The incompetence in building this website is staggering,” said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., the second ranking Republican on the panel and an opponent of the law.

Democrats said the new system needed time to get up and running, and it could be fixed to provide millions of people with affordable insurance. Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, a Democrat, said the system was “working in Kentucky,” a state that has dealt with “some of the worst health statistics in the country ... The only way we’re going to get ourselves out of the ditch is some transformational tool,” like the new health insurance system.

Blackburn said she wanted to know much has been spent on the website, how much more it will cost to fix the problems, when everything will be ready and what people should expect to see on the site. Blackburn and Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., raised questions of whether the website could guard the privacy of applicants.

“The way the system is designed it is not secure,” said Rogers, who is chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

The administration sought to reassure applicants about their personal information. HHS spokeswoman Joanne Peters said when consumers fill out their applications, “they can trust that the information they’re providing is protected by stringent security standards and that the technology underlying the application process has been tested and is secure.” She said the website itself does not store Americans’ personal information.

The botched rollout has led to calls on Capitol Hill for a delay of penalties for those remaining uninsured. The Obama administration has said it’s willing to extend the grace period until Mar. 31, the end of open enrollment. That’s an extra

six weeks. The insurance industry says going beyond that risks undermining the new system by giving younger, healthier people a pass.

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who is seeking a yearlong delay to the penalty for noncompliance, said his approach would “still induce people to get involved, but it will also give us the time to transition in.

And I think we need that transition period to work out the things.” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., who has urged the Obama administration to postpone the March 31 deadline, said she was concerned applicants would not have a full six months to enroll.

The administration was under no legal requirement to launch the website Oct 1. Sebelius, who designated her department’s Medicare agency to implement the health care law, had the discretion to set open enrollment dates. Officials could have postponed open enrollment by a month, or they could have phased in access to the website.

But all through last summer and into early fall, the administration insisted it was ready to go live in all 50 states on Oct. 1.

The online insurance markets are supposed to be the portal to coverage for people who do not have access to a health plan through their jobs. The health care law offers middle-class people a choice of private insurance plans, made more affordable through new tax credits.

Low-income people will be steered to Medicaid in states that agree to expand that safety net program.

An HHS memo prepared for Sebelius in September estimated that nearly 500,000 people would enroll for coverage in the marketplaces during October, their first month of operation. The actual number is likely to be only a fraction of that. The administration has said 700,000 people have completed applications.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said the president had been poorly served by Sebelius “in the imple-

mentation of his own signature legislature. So if somebody doesn’t leave and if there isn’t a real restructuring, not just a 60-day somebody come in and try to fix it, then he’s missing the point of management 101, which is these people are to serve him well, and they haven’t.”

Blackburn spoke on “Fox News Sunday,” Beshear appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Rogers was on to CNN’s “State of the Union,” Manchin was interviewed on ABC’s “This Week,” and Shaheen and Issa made their comments on CBS “Face the Nation.”

Colombian rebels free former American GI BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombia’s main leftist rebel group on Sunday released a former U.S. army private who the guerrillas seized in June after he refused to heed local officials’ warnings and wandered into rebel-held territory.

Kevin Scott Sutay, who is in his late 20s, was quietly turned over to Norwegian and Colombian officials along with the International Committee of the Red Cross in the same southeastern region where he had disappeared four months earlier.

In a statement, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry almost immediately thanked Colombia’s government for its “tireless efforts” in securing the Afghanistan war veteran’s release.

Kerry also thanked the Rev. Jesse Jackson for advocating it.

The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, had said it was abandoning kidnapping as a condition for the launching of peace talks that began 11 months ago to end a half-century internal conflict.

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos resisted FARC efforts to make what he deemed a “media show”

of Sutay’s release and no images were released of the early morning jungle handover or of reported his latemorning arrival in Bogota, the capital.

The rebels had announced in July their intention to free Sutay as a good-faith gesture but the liberation was delayed.

Santos’ firmness on prohibiting a ceremonial release of Sutay included objecting to the FARC-endorsed intercession of Jackson, who met with rebel leaders in Cuba in late September and said then that he would go to Colombia to lobby for on behalf of Sutay’s release.

Sutay was delivered at 11:30

a.m. local time to U.S. government representatives at Bogota’s airport, according to a statement issued by the Cuban and Norwegian embassies.

The Red Cross said one of its doctors examined Sutay and he was good to travel and be reunited with his family. It was not immediately clear if he had flown on to the United States.

Sutay was the only foreigner known to be held by Colombian rebels.

Attempts by The Associated Press to locate relatives of Sutay after his capture were unsuccessful. His service record lists his hometown as Willow Spring, North Carolina.

Halloween safety important for students, adults Mollie Johnson Keep an eye on your drinks if you go to parties this season.

If you don’t trust the host, you might want to serve yourself and, just like with candy as a child, if it smells or tastes funny, don’t drink it. No one wants added stress because they woke up somewhere unknown and don’t know what happened. It’s the people who tell themselves, “This will never happen to me” that these things happen to.

Don’t allow that person to be you.

Mom’s rule No. 2: Trick or treat with groups of friends or

a parent. The thought process behind this rule is really quite simple. When people go out in groups and something happens, there are others who know about it. When there are others aware something has gone off course, more people work to get it back on track.

If something becomes too out of control, there are witnesses.

E i t h e r way, no one is alone. Plus, being out around other people just sounds way more fun than the latter. Being out during Halloween night alone just doesn’t make a lot of sense on that front either.

“

Mom’s rule No. 3: Obey traffic laws and look both ways. This seems like something everyone should know, but sometimes it becomes so automatic we forget.

We might think we looked before making that right-hand turn on red, but we just went through the motions and someone was coming.

Car problems are a huge pain, as many people are aware.

An accident would be the last thing anyone would want or expect when trying to relax and have fun. Be aware of others.

This goes for looking both

Don’t let anyone completely take your reins — unless it’s necessary of course.

“

H

alloween is fun, mysterious and — let’s face it — a final opportunity to have fun and let loose before the final semester trudge followed by stress from the holiday season. Therefore it’s easy to see why people might make the most of it.

To take full advantage and get the most out of this celebration, which is important for the sanity of adults and children alike, it would be ideal that unfortunate events not befall us. Children are continuously reminded of ways to stay safe during Halloween, but what about adults? Well, believe it or not, mom’s rules still apply.

Mom’s rule No. 1: Have your candy checked before you eat it.

For all the candy-loving people out there, you might follow this literally. However, to me this translates to adults more on a drinks level.

ways, too. A person in the street is no match for a pick-up truck barreling down the same street.

They may not be looking, so take it upon yourself. Not to mention children will be out enjoying themselves, too. No one wants the real-life horror story of hurting a child.

Mom’s rule No. 4: Always carry a flashlight. Areas that are remote and poorly lit give people bad feelings. Why? It is because their subconscious is smarter than they are. It knows that when its person can’t see as well, something can sneak up on it.

This is that point when you hear a bird land on a branch and jump 10 feet. Listen to your body.

The lit places will most likely have more people around, too, and you may not want to know what lingers in the shadows.

Mom’s rule No. 5: Designate a route and don’t go to houses

not on that route. As we get older, it’s normal to make a plan, have something new and more interesting come up and then not necessarily abide by that plan.

However, you should stay in control and know where you are and where you are going. Don’t let anyone completely take your reigns — unless it’s necessary of course. You have more freedom when you are in control of yourself.

Most of these rules come back to the same couple of concepts.

Being aware and staying with people who are known and trusted seems to be the key ingredient.

Stay on your toes and maybe you won’t succumb to the desire of the evil in the real world, or the Halloween zombies this October.

Freedom of speech faces difficult future Legalizing marijuana

By JAMIE WANDSCHNEIDER iOwa STaTe Daily (iOwa STaTe U.)

One of the perks of being a journalist, especially a columnist, is the ability to write whatever I want. We, the people, have the freedom to speak our minds and to write whatever we like. Because of this, stories published can range anywhere from light, heartfelt events to serious political debates. This is all thanks to the First Amendment of the Constitution, which grants us freedom of speech.

It is this amendment that allows our media to give the public different opinions without interference from the government or other officials. Unfortunately, this law doesn’t seem to protect them from all repercussions.

Journalists have even been fired for reporting their opinion.

In 2010, journalist Juan Williams was fired for sharing his personal feelings upon seeing people he believed to be Muslims at an airport.

He might or might not have been

out of line by giving his opinion on the subject, but it is only his opinion.

As a columnist, it is our job to write our opinion just like it is a police beat reporter’s job to write about the latest police matters.

In 2013, Drew Johnson, editor for the Chattanooga Times Free Press, was dismissed for writing a negative editorial about President Barack Obama. The problem began when Johnson changed the approved headline for his editorial. The new title, “Take Your Job Plans and Shove It, Mr. President,” did not sit well with Johnson’s superiors. As a result, he was let go.

Although Johnson might not have chosen the most appropriate headline, it was unnecessary to have him fired for expressing how he felt.

Both of these firings are in direct violation of the fiercely defended, but often misunderstood ideal of free speech. Williams and Johnson’s dismissals are not acceptable in a country whose foundation rests partly on its

devotion to freedom.

The situations were not that serious and didn’t cause any harm.

They were terminated because their supervisors’ disagreement with what they published.

Some readers may think that it was inappropriate behavior and that it was a good thing that they were fired.

Others may agree with the columns and are upset that they were fired over something that seems minor.

If harmless stories like Williams’ and Johnson’s are causing journalists to be fired, what will happen when a story that releases truth on similar subjects is published?

As a future journalist, I am worried about what will happen if I published a story or a column that spikes controversy with my superiors. Would I be fired? As a country, we need to abide by the amendments that our predecessors created for the betterment of the people.

Journalists are not the only ones threatened. Every person could be at

risk of reprimand for expressing their opinion to the public.

In 2010, Michael Anthony Marcavage was arrested for preaching his views on abortion while holding images on the subject. He was protesting on a public sidewalk and was forcibly removed from the scene.

During his trial, Marcavage correctly argued that his First Amendment rights had been violated. Officials had no right to arrest him for stating his beliefs in a public area.

He was arrested simply for voicing his opinion with no evidence of any wrongdoings. As a result, the charges were dropped.

If incidents like this keeping happening, will there be a time when the American people won’t be allowed to freely express their opinion due to the fear of losing their jobs?

If so, our country needs to have a makeover that allows people to freely express themselves without being arrested or having their livelihoods put in jeopardy.

Nobel Peace Prize increasingly given to undeserving candidates The Nobel Peace Prize is only partially deserving of its name — more accurately, only two-thirds deserving of its name. While peace is difficult to attain, the Norwegian Nobel Committee’s selection of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons should appear premature to any observer.

Given the ongoing civil war in Syria and the incompletion of the organization’s mission there, awarding a prize for “peace” to anyone involved in attempts to draw down the conflict is precipitous at best. In order to maintain the integrity of the Nobel Peace Prize, the Committee must consider the candidates’ accomplishments, rather than picking the one who seems like they’ll make the world more peaceful.

As much as I detest the Academy Awards, I must sketch one theoretical comparison between the gilded publicity event and the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize.

For a moment, imagine if the

Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences decided to hand out the Oscar for Best Director before its recipient had even finished filming. It’s easy to picture the immense outrage that would ensue.

The OPCW is that director. Beginning their dangerous mission toward a safer Syria is admirable but far undeserving of one of modern society’s most prestigious awards. With this decision, the Committee has turned the Nobel Peace Prize into the international equivalent of the trophy that kid on your little league team got for warming benches all season.

Perhaps we should begin to expect this from the Committee. In 2009, Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for what amounted to less than nine months of work. Regardless of one’s views on Obama, one must acknowledge that the Committee’s decision to give him the award for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” and “vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons” is laughable.

Needless to say, Obama has failed

to halt Iran’s nuclear program, further destabilized Libya, and increased the number of drone strikes. While I, wholeheartedly, support this latter action, blowing up even more terrorists than your predecessor with unmanned aerial vehicles rarely strengthens international diplomacy.

Of course, hindsight is always 20/20.

But was the Committee so enthused about the new leader of the free world that they couldn’t wait until after he had finished a single term in office? It took over 30 years of work for Mother Teresa to get her Nobel Peace Prize. I think Obama could have waited another three or four.

Over the past 112 years, the Nobel Committee has done well in selecting recipients. There is the occasional hiccup (Yasser Arafat), but deciding the winner is a democratic process and, as anyone can attest to, democratic processes frequently have disappointing results.

Occasionally, the Nobel Committee will select someone either so shortsighted or so infatuated with democratic principles that they unintentionally destroyed their own government. As the general secretary of the Communist

Party of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev (awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990) supported reforms that would reduce the USSR’s stockpile of nuclear weapons, increase freedom of expression for its citizens and unwittingly dissolve the Soviet Union.

This is somewhat of an aside, but allowing citizens to criticize the oppressive government they live under rarely results in an outcome beneficial to that nation’s leaders.

The Nobel Peace Prize, despite its flaws, is quite possibly the world’s most prestigious award, and its bestowment is an honor. Personally, I would be happier to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature than the Nobel Peace Prize, but I’d settle for the latter in a pinch.

The Nobel Committee must seek to maintain the prestige of the Nobel Peace Prize. Although this award is inherently political, choosing a relatively neutral party (one that only the most contrarian of critics will oppose, and one whose contributions towards peace and international fraternity are so conspicuous that they scarcely need pointing out) should be of the upmost importance. Only then can we restore the good name of the Nobel Peace Prize.

more viable in Texas

By DERAIL TEXADA

The Daily COUgar (U. hOUSTOn)

For several years, there have been whispers about whether the usage of marijuana should be legalized in various states. With states like California, Oregon and Alaska having a version of legalized marijuana usage in effect, it was only a matter of time before talks began to surface in Texas of doing the same.

According to a recent Public Policy Polling survey of 860 Texas voters, 58 percent of Texans support the legalization of marijuana.

In Texas, marijuana is currently forbidden, and if caught with the substance, an individual could receive a fine and up to one year in jail.

Many people may even be shocked to hear about older individuals smoking marijuana, but according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, more than 6 percent of people aged 50 to 59 used marijuana in 2011.

In an interview with The New York Times, retired teacher Cher Neufer, 65, revealed that to her, “socializing with friends, all in their 60s, means using marijuana.”

According to The Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, 45 percent of youth aged 18-29 voted in 2012, down from 51 percent in 2008. This may be a very important variable. Because older individuals are dominating the percentage of voters, this may be the reason voting results are more in favor of Texas legalizing marijuana than before.

Some believe that legalizing marijuana would have a tremendous impact on the Texas economy.

Caroline Fairchild of The Huffington Post said, “According to a 2010 study from Cato, legalizing marijuana would generate $8.7 billion in federal and state tax revenue annually.”

As reported by Marijuana Policy Project, economist Jeffrey Miron of Harvard University said that if we do away with marijuana prohibition, America could stand to save anywhere from $10 billion to $14 billion per year in reduced government spending. With a big fuss over the U.S. deficit, some Americans believe this to be a very appealing proposal.

it stands to make an estimated $1.9 billion from marijuana taxation over a five-year span.

Marijuana may also soon play a larger role in politics. After the 16-day shutdown, Republicans may be in need of a boost toward a new direction, Rick Thompson said on The Weed Blog.

Thompson also said that Republicans could gain the new supporters if they were to support the legalization of marijuana.

With so many people in Texas in favor of legalization of marijuana, this is exactly what Republicans may want to support. Legalization of marijuana could indeed gain Republicans a fighting chance for the youth vote.

On the other hand, this still leaves over 35 percent of Texans who have a different viewpoint on the legalization of marijuana.

Finance senior Victoria Banjo, who is against the legalization of marijuana, said, “Just because marijuana has never killed anyone, I believe that it could still have harmful long-term side effects on the human body.”

This may be true. All drugs have some kind of side effects. Even though marijuana has not yet been proven to be a cause of death, it would be ignorant to believe it has no harmful effect to the body at all.

“Marijuana use impairs a person’s ability to form new memories,” according to the National Institutes of Health.

“THC also disrupts coordination and balance by binding to receptors in the cerebellum and basal ganglia — parts of the brain that regulate balance, posture, coordination and reaction time.” This is the reason NIH states that under the influence of marijuana, an individual learning, dealing with difficult tasks or driving is impaired.

If we can market tobacco and make a profit from it, then I feel we should do the same for marijuana.

Texas would become the No. 1-grossing state in the U.S. if it legalizes marijuana, according to Change.org.

This would put the Texas economy in an even better position than it already is.

Instead of the $10,000 it costs per person when someone is arrested for possession of marijuana, that money could be saved and we could have more revenue coming into the state.

Traditions explained behind fall season

By ASHLYN TUBBS Staff Writer

As the leaves change colors, people’s lifestyles experience change as well.

The fall season has an influence not only on the weather, but also on food, clothes, traditions and even entertainment.

Many Texas Tech students have reasons why they enjoy autumn and the atmosphere it creates in their lives.

Leslie Lopez, a sophomore civil engineering major from Houston, said she loves how fall means starting a fresh, new school year.

“Everything changes,” she said. “You put away your Nike shorts and sneakers and take out the leggings and the big sweaters and dark nail polish.”

During the fall, Lopez said she wears scarves and boots with anything.

She said she enjoys the autumn weather in her hometown, but not in Lubbock.

“It’s really cold,” she said.

“In Houston, it’s like the perfect weather. It’s like 65 degrees mostly, so it’s enough to wear a sweater. Here you have to change like five times. I don’t like that about Lubbock.”

That is not the only thing she misses about Houston, though.

Lopez said the leaves changing colors also is more noticeable there than in Lubbock.

“I have this huge tree in front of my house and all the leaves fall out and you can really see all the orange and yellow when you walk out,” she said. “Here?

Not so much. It goes from summer to snow.”

During fall, Lopez said she noticed she bakes cookies more than usual and also drinks hot chocolate.

“I feel like during fall is the

only time I’ll drink hot chocolate,” she said, “because it’s too hot any other time.”

Another reason Lopez anticipated this fall was for one of her favorite TV shows to premiere a new season.

“American Horror Story’ comes on, and it’s amazing,” she said. “That’s definitely something to look forward to.”

For Georgia Zarate, a junior mechanical engineering major from Houston, the thing she is most excited for during fall is the decorating.

“Picking Halloween costumes is always fun,” she said. “I like to make costumes, like on Pinterest there’s lots of fun costumes, and Pinterest has so many fall decoration ideas, like painting chevron pumpkins that are really cute right now and anything burlap.”

Zarate said she likes how during fall preparations for the

holidays are apparent, even on campus.

“They’ve already started doing lights here on campus for the Carol of Lights,” she said.

“You can see them when you go around to the different buildings.”

Matthew Demel, a senior business major from Midland, is another student who has noticed the lights on campus during autumn.

“The whole atmosphere of everything changes, especially on campus,” he said. “It gets more lit up and that’s one of the things I like is the buildings lit up nearing Christmas time.”

What Demel looks forward to during fall is Halloween, though. He said he enjoys the spooks, haunted houses, watching traditional Halloween movies such as “Hocus Pocus” and “Beetlejuice,” and the seductive female costumes.

“I have a friend who sets up this big display every year and has a big Halloween party,” he said, “and it’s just fun to see what he cooks up each year. Everyone gets really into it.”

Chance Vasquez, a junior chemistry major from Childress, can be found watching football Saturdays and Sundays during fall and said that is his favorite part of the season, other than the cooler weather and fewer bugs.

“I love the religious weekend thing of watching football on Sunday and Saturday and eating all the greasy burgers and stuff,” he said. “My dad was a football coach, so we watched it all the time. I’m surprised I’m not tired of it yet.”

Patricia Aragon, a freshman business major from Cypress, said she can frequently be found at a specific location during autumn.

“Every time it comes to fall

time, I’m at Starbucks every day,” she said. “I order pumpkin spice lattes and even the frappuccino because it’s still good cold. It’s that holiday taste, and even hot chocolate, too, because I’ve been out here on campus studying late at night and it reminds me of the holiday feel.”

Before the fall season ends, Aragon said she wants to be sure to visit a corn maze at least once.

“My sorority went to the corn maze and I wanted to go, and I think we’re going to go again,” she said. “All the girls loved it and told me I should have gone, but I had to study.”

Although there are many activities and traditions that make autumn unique, Zarate said there is one downside to the season.

“Midterms come though in the fall,” she said. “When it starts to get cold, you start to study more.” ➤➤atubbs@dailytoreador.com

Rapper Jay-Z defends deal with store accused of profiling NEW YORK (AP) — JayZ — under increasing pressure to back out of a collaboration with the luxury store Barneys New York after it was accused of racially profiling two black customers — said Saturday he’s being unfairly “demonized” for just waiting to hear all of the facts.

The rap mogul made his first statement about the controversy in a posting on his website. He has come under fire for remaining silent as news surfaced this week that two young black people said they were profiled

by Barneys after they purchased expensive items from their Manhattan store.

An online petition and Twitter messages from fans have been circulating this week, calling on the star to bow out of his upcoming partnership with Barneys for the holiday season, which will have the store selling items by top designers, inspired by Jay-Z, with some of the proceeds going to his charity. He is also working with the store to create its artistic holiday window display.

But Jay-Z — whose real name is Shawn Carter — defended himself, saying that he hasn’t spoken about it because he’s still trying to figure out exactly what happened.

“I move and speak based on facts and not emotion,” the statement said. “I haven’t made any comments because I am waiting on facts and the outcome of a meeting between community leaders and Barneys.

Why am I being demonized, denounced and thrown on the cover of a newspaper for not speaking immediately?” he said, referring to local newspaper headlines.

The two Barneys customers, Trayon Christian and Kayla Phillips, said this week they were detained by police after making expensive purchases.

Christian sued Barneys, saying he was accused of fraud after using his debit card to buy a $349 Ferragamo belt in April.

Philips filed a notice of claim saying she would sue after she was stopped by detectives outside the store when she bought a $2,500 Celine handbag in February.

As the criticism grew, Barneys said Thursday it had retained a civil rights expert to help review its procedures. The CEO of Barneys, Mark Lee, offered his “sincere regret and deepest apologies.”

Kirsten John Foy, an official with the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, said he would meet with Barneys officials on Tuesday to discuss the racial profiling allegations.

Jay-Z — who rose from a life of crime in Brooklyn to become one of the most heralded rappers and one of entertainment’s biggest superstars — has in the past called for a boycott of labels perceived to be racist, and has become more political in recent years, from speaking out about the killing of black teenager Trayvon Martin to campaigning

for President Barack Obama.

Jay-Z said in this case, he’s still trying to find out what happened —which is why he was silent.

“The negligent, erroneous reports and attacks on my character, intentions and the spirit of this collaboration have forced me into a statement I didn’t want to make without the full facts,” he added.

He also dismissed reports that he would profit from the collaboration. He said he’s “not making a dime” from working with Barneys. Instead, his Shawn Carter Foundation, which provides college scholarships to economically challenged students, will get 25 percent of all sales from the collaboration.

“This money is going to help individuals facing socio-economic hardships to help further their education at institutions of higher learning,” he said. “My idea was born out of creativity and charity... not profit.”

He also said that “making a decision prematurely to pull out of this project wouldn’t hurt Barneys or Shawn Carter but all the people that stand a chance at higher education,” he said.

“I have been working with my team ever since the situation was brought to my attention to get to the bottom of these incidents and at the same time find a solution that doesn’t harm all those that stand to benefit from this collaboration.”

Jay-Z said he understood what it felt like to be racially

Police: Chris Brown charged with assault WASHINGTON (AP) — Chris Brown was arrested early Sunday in Washington after a fight broke out near the W Hotel, police said, complicating an already snarled legal history for the Grammy Award-winning R&B singer.

Brown, 24, was charged with felony assault in an incident that started just before 4:30 a.m., D.C. police spokesman Paul Metcalf said Sunday morning. Chris Hollosy, 35, also was arrested on felony assault charges, Metcalf said. Police believe the two men were together during the incident but said they couldn’t confirm any relationship between the suspects.

“There was a physical altercation, which resulted in the victim sustaining injuries,” Metcalf said.

Brown and Hollosy were being held in police custody until Monday, Metcalf said.

A man was injured in the fight and reportedly taken to a hospital, police said, but they did not identify him or give details on his injuries. It was not clear whether the victim was taken by ambulance or another vehicle. He had been released from the hospital as of early Sunday afternoon, Metcalf said.

The felony charges in the case were based, in part, on the extent of the

victim’s injuries, police said.

Brown’s publicists and attorney, Mark Geragos, did not immediately respond to messages left early Sunday.

Brown was in Washington to perform Saturday night at an event billed as a “Homecoming Weekend”

party at a downtown club. He tweeted about the party Saturday. Howard University spokeswoman Kerry-Ann Hamilton said Sunday that the party was not sponsored by or affiliated with the school, which is celebrating its homecoming.

profiled — but also didn’t want to jump to unfair conclusions.

“I am against discrimination of any kind but if I make snap judgments, no matter who it’s towards, aren’t I committing the same sin as someone who profiles?” he asked. “I am no stranger to being profiled and I truly empathize with anyone that has been put in that position. Hopefully this brings forth a dialogue to effect real change.”

Earlier Saturday, Sharpton held a rally at his National Action Network headquarters in Harlem, saying black New York-

ers should put shopping at Barneys “on hold” if the retailer’s response is inadequate.

But it is not the only retailer accused of racially profiling its customers.

Some Sharpton supporters who attended Saturday’s rally said they had been profiled in other stores, too. Shane Lee, 51, said he went to the high-end store Bergdorf Goodman to buy shirts last year and the sales staff would not assist him.

“Instead of helping me, they were staring at me,” said Lee, who is black. “I felt so uncom-

fortable that I just left.”

A Bergdorf Goodman official did not return a call seeking comment Saturday.

On Friday, Rob Brown, a black actor on the HBO series “Treme” said he was stop because of his race while shopping at Macy’s flagship Manhattan store. Brown said in his lawsuit that he was detained nearly an hour by police June 8 after employees contacted authorities about possible credit card fraud.

Macy’s didn’t comment on the litigation but said in a statement it was investigating.

Animal shelter hosts “Howl-O-Ween” dog run

By CALLIE POINDEXTER Staff Writer

Dog owners and their furry friends donned Halloween costumes and prepared to get some exercise at the inaugural HowlO-Ween Dog Run on Saturday, which benefited Morris Safe House animal shelter.

The run, which was separated into a 1.2-and 4-mile route around Canyon Lake and through Lubbock’s cemetery, featured a Halloween costume contest for dogs, games for children and pets, booths and treats and toys for the animals.

Morris Safe House assembled bags with mystery contents for pets, and participants took their pick from the bags for a $5 dona-

tion. Those who attended the event also were able to pick out a pet costume for any donation.

Rylee McLean, a Texas Tech alumna, said she participated in the event with her dog, Shadow, to support Morris Safe House.

“We like to donate all our money there,” she said, “and we go visit the dogs and we love Sally. We just love on the dogs.”

Sally Morris, director of Morris Safe House, said she founded the shelter in 2008 with her husband.

“We deeded 10 acres of our farm to the safe house,” she said, “and built a state-of-the-art facility on it, and in five years we have adopted out over 2,700 dogs. They’re totally vetted before they ever leave us. They’ve

got all their shots, they’re spayed and neutered and they have a prepaid ID chip. People never have to go online and register because we’ve taken care of that.”

The shelter is funded through grants, private donations and fundraisers, such as the dog run, Morris said.

A portion of the race fees benefit the safe house, she said, and it receives all donations.

“Our biggest expense is vetting,” Morris said, “and we’re not going to cut corners on any of that. We want them taken care of. If we get a dog in that has heartworm disease, we spend at least $8,000 treating them to getting well and it’s a 90-day treatment. Our adoption fee’s

$125, so naturally, the balance has to be made up through donations and fundraisers.”

More than 30 volunteers donated their time for the event, she said, including a service group from Tech, Gamma Beta Phi, and a service group from Lubbock Christian University.

Ciara Rasberry, a sophomore media and communication major from Lubbock, participated in the event with her dog, Cato.

“It was just for a good cause,” she said, “and it just seemed like a fun thing to do, a good outing.”

Cato was dressed as Superman, Rasberry said laughing, until he fell into the lake.

She said she enjoyed participating in the run as well as the games and booths.

“We tried to do the bob for weenies,” Rasberry said, “we did the costume contest, and then we just did a bunch of booths.

There’s one where you can make a paw print and frame it. There’s just a lot of things to do.”

Dylan Hope, a Tech alumnus, said he recently moved back to the Lubbock area after living away for a few years and decided to participate in the event with his two dogs and one of his oldest friends.

He was glad to be able to do something active with his dog, he said.

“I live in Levelland,” Hope said, “where there’s no dog park, there’s nothing. There’s no dog park in Lubbock either, and I think that’s something that

people should start pushing for.”

The run is a great way to get the Tech Greek community involved, Morris said, and she hopes to have a battle between sororities and fraternities next year to see which can recruit the most runners.

She said the event was a success and is appreciative of the donations that will allow the shelter to continue to rescue animals in need.

“We hope that we’ll continue to be able to expand,” Morris said. “We’re full all the time.

We need another building, but that’s $250,000 to get another building built, then we have to staff it. So there’s always things that we need.” ➤➤cpoindexter@dailytoreador.com

Comedian Adam DeVine talks new show, medical marijuana

By PAIGE SKINNER Managing editer

Between the premiere of his new Comedy Central series, a late-night appearance on “Conan” and more, comedianturned-TV-actor Adam DeVine — one might know him from “Workaholics” — took some time to chat with universities across the nation in a conference call about his new TV show, “Adam DeVine’s House Party.”

The show, which features a script and actual stand-up, takes place in a Los Angeles mansion with DeVine and his friends.

The show airs Thursday nights on Comedy Central.

Here are some of the highlights from the Q-and-A session with DeVine.

back in the day?

A: Yeah, I was pezman08.

I had a weird Pez collection. I was like in the hospital as a kid, I was hit by a cement truck as a little boy — Oh, downer! Way to suck the air out of the party — but one person brought me a Pez dispenser and I was in the hospital like, ‘I like this. This is cool,’ and my mom freaked out and was like, ‘He loves Pez! Let’s just get him Pez.’ So I ended up having like 500 Pez. So therefore I was the pezman.

Q: Did you have a favorite one?

A: I had an old Spiderman one from the ‘70s that didn’t have teeth and you could check out its black holes, and it was worth like $35, so it was my favorite because it was my most expensive and realist.

Q: Could you describe yourself in three words?

A: Bodacious, radical and gnar, if I can only pick three.

Yeah, humble wasn’t one of them.

Q: Your comedy style seems like it’s really expressive and animated and over-the-top. Does that come naturally to you or do you kind of have to work on being that way all the time?

A: No, it comes pretty natural. Every comedian that you see, nobody really puts on too much of a front because then it won’t be funny. You have to be funny how you are as a person. If you try adopt someone else’s style or do something outside of what you can do to be the funniest, it won’t come across as funny, so I think it’s just sort of who I am and I’ve got a big, dumb face that can move in all sorts of weird,

different directions, and so I think that helps me out.

Q: An essential part to any house party is the entertainment, so what would you say your favorite drinking game is?

A: I was a beer pong fanatic.

I was never any good, but that’s sort of better because that just means I got to drink more beer. I was always a little bummed when I would win beer pong because then I was like, ‘Oh, wait. Now they get to drink my beer that I poured into these cups?’

Q: Do you have any views on medical marijuana?

A: I love it. I have trouble sleeping. I need to a cart. Yeah, no it rules. Most people don’t care. Even people that don’t smoke weed are like, ‘Who cares?’ It’s like with anything.

As long as you like aren’t abus-

ing it, then it’s fine. As long as you’re not taking giant bong rips and then blowing them into a baby’s face, feel free to smoke weed. Don’t blow giant bong rips in children’s faces. That’s my one rule.

Q: What exactly made you want to do comedy and what did you want to be when you grew up?

A: When I was really young, I like loved my uncle for whatever reason and I just think because he talked in his old-timey voice and he got to give cool speeches in front of crowds of people because he was like a lawyer, so I was like, ‘I want to be a lawyer.’

And my mom was like, ‘No, you don’t. Why would you?’ Because my mom was not supportive of me going to law school because I think it was going to be too expenisive for us and then I

finally realized I just wanted to be an actor playing a lawyer and give speeches in front of people. And then that kind of morphed into I just want to be a comedian who tells jokes in front of people, so that’s kind of when I decided I wanted to be a stand-up comedian. And really early on, I was just like, ‘I really like making people laugh and I really like telling stories and I like writing.’ And I would write a bunch of stories, so I think I kind of always wanted to do it or else I might be a homeless person.

Q: Do you predict the show to be a super tight butthole?

A: I hope it’s the tightest of the holes, yeah. It might even be different. It might not be even tight buttholes, it might be weird butthole. It could be better. It’s a good kind of weird. ➤➤pskinner@dailytoreador.com

Marcia Wallace dies, voice of ‘Simpsons’ Krabappel LOS ANGELES (AP) — Marcia Wallace, who was the voice of scoffing schoolteacher Edna Krabappel on “The Simpsons” and played wisecracking receptionist Carol on “The Bob Newhart Show” in the 1970s, has died. She was 70.

“Simpsons” executive producer Al Jean said in a statement Saturday that her “irreplaceable character” — who contended with Bart Simpson’s constant antics — would be retired.

Jean said he was “tremendously saddened” when he found out about “the passing of the brilliant and gracious Marcia Wallace. She was beloved by all at The Simpsons.”

Jean went on to say that her death was “a terrible loss for all who had the pleasure of knowing her.”

The statement did not provide a date for her death, or a cause.

The longtime TV actress’ credits also included appearances on

Candice Bergen’s “Murphy Brown” and roles on “Full House,” ‘’7th Heaven” and “The Young and the Restless.”

On “The Simpsons,” Wallace provided the voice for worldweary Edna Krabappel (cruBOP’-pul), who smoked cigarettes, made sarcastic comments and finally found love in the arms of Simpson’s neighbor Ned Flanders after fans voted online at the end of season 22 to keep

the unlikely couple together.

Wallace’s trademark “Ha!” punctuated Krabappel’s frequent snide remarks, and her character was known for saying, “Do what I mean, not what I say.”

Harry Shearer, the voice of Ned Flanders, said Wallace “brought this huge, positive energy” to her work.

“She was just a warm and wonderful person,” he told The Associated Press.

The fall baseball season ended Sunday with the black team winning 6-4 in the final game of the Red and Black series.

It was the fourth win for the black team in the series, winning two of the three games in the first weekend of play, and both games this past weekend.

Volunteer assistant coach Matt Gardner said he was impressed by the way the team played and improved throughout the fall.

“We’ve been getting after it pretty good this fall, and as far as the competitive games, it has been pretty good,” Gardner said.

“We had the one game that kind of got out of hand during this deal, but other than that every game has been a one-or-two run game until late in the game when one team kind of takes advantage.”

Gardner said one of the things that excited him throughout the series was how the younger players improved.

“I thought those sophomores have made the jump, and each week gotten a little better, along with the freshmen,” Gardner said.

“Your older guys, those are kind of your steady-Eddie guys, you kind

Brees leads Saints past Bills, 35-17 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The stern message from Sean Payton and Drew Brees left little doubt about the postseason aspirations of the New Orleans Saints.

There are few other ways to interpret how critical they were of themselves after Brees struck for five touchdowns a 35-17 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

“It’s good when you can not play your best and make certain mistakes and still win like we did,” Brees said, referring to a handful of pre-snap penalties, a pair of missed scoring chances and two instances when only 10 Saints were on the field.

“If we continue to repeat these mistakes they will get us beat,” Brees continued. “That’s not good enough for us. We’ve set the bar high. We have a high standard. We want to be as perfect as we can out there.”

Brees finished 26 of 34 for 332 yards, completing passes to 10 targets.

Saints tight end Jimmy Graham played after missing practice most of the week with a left foot injury and scored on 13- and 15-yard passes over the middle, powering through tackles at the goal line both times.

Rookie Saints receiver Kenny

Stills had touchdowns of 69 and 42 yards and Lance Moore snagged a 15-yard scoring pass in his return from a hand injury that sidelined him three games.

Payton generally praised his players’ effort and acknowledged he was pleased with winning, but otherwise spoke in gruff tones.

“When you have eight penalties ... and you can’t get the right amount of people on the field, then those are things that certainly go against saying you have your swagger,” Payton said. “Those are things that are troubling.

“It cost Minnesota in an NFC championship game against us,” Payton added, referring to a Vikings penalty for 12 players in the huddle late in that 2010 game.

Thad Lewis was sacked four times, intercepted once by Keenan Lewis, lost two fumbles and appeared shaken up at times. Still, he stayed in the game, finishing with 234 yards passing and one touchdown.

“We’re a resilient team, but being resilient is not good enough,” Lewis said.

Bills coach Doug Marrone, a former top offensive assistant under Payton in New Orleans, said he

expected his young quarterback to be blitzed often, But the Saints both disguised and executed their pressure packages well.

“That is a playoff team that we played,” Marrone said.

Graham’s second touchdown, which he scored after the catch by muscling through Jairus Byrd’s tackle, gave the Saints (6-1) a 28-10 lead in the third quarter.

Buffalo (3-5) closed to 28-17 on Fred Jackson’s 1-yard TD run, set up by a pair of roughing-the-passer penalties called on reserve defensive back Corey White.

But Brees responded by rolling right and lofting a 42-yard pass into the end zone, where Stills outmaneuvered rookie defensive back Nickell Robey to make the catch.

Stills finished with three catches for 129 yards against Buffalo. Graham had three catches for 37 yards.

Graham said he’s been told he might have pain in his foot throughout the season and will have to play through it.

“Everyone plays with something going on, so this is no different,” Graham said. “I’ve been preparing myself this week to play, so to get that call was awesome.”

Baylor drops Texas Tech volleyball to end first round of conference play

By REX ROSE Staff Writer

The Texas Tech volleyball team fell to 1-6 in the Big 12 Conference after losing in four sets (25-16, 25-20, 25-16, 25-20) to Baylor Saturday in United Spirit Arena.

After coming out strong and winning the first set, the Red Raiders lost the next three to the Bears.

Tech coach Don Flora said he commends the Bears for fighting back after losing game one, but thinks the Red Raiders hurt themselves more than anything.

“I thought we played one of our most complete sets of the season starting off,” he said. “It’s unfortunate we couldn’t match that the rest of the way. We got off to a bad start in the second and then could never get on much a run from there.

“They got a little more efficient offensively, but I think that was a little bit of us not passing it quite as well. They came out with a little more energy and made some better swings in set two. I think that’s a function of us not taking as good of swings in set two as we did in set one.”

The Red Raiders were led offensively by sophomore Meghan Stacy, who tied the Bears’ Laura Jones with a match high 16 kills.

Stacy credits her teammates for being able to put up good numbers during the game.

“I think I owe it to the defense first,” she said. “They did a great job setting up and giving a good pass to the setter.”

Stacy was two kills away from matching her career and season highs as she recorded one of her best performances of the season, according to a news release.

Flora said he wasn’t surprised to see Stacy play so well because of her dedication.

“She’s been working hard at some areas of attacking,” he said.

“When to go and how to go at it

hard, that’s a big deal. When you learn and grow and keep working at it, you’re going to get rewarded.

She got rewarded with hard work.”

Junior libero Rachel Brummitt said she was proud of the powerful performance from Stacy.

“Meghan did awesome today,” she said. “She was getting around the block whether it was tipping it or placing it, which was really helping us out. She did great.”

Brummitt led the team defensively with a match high 21 digs from the back row — her 12th match this year with 20 or more digs, according to the release.

Brummitt said Baylor did a nice job attacking after falling in set one.

“First game, we had a great start,” she said. “We were passing well, we were communicating well and we were just hitting the ball.

Everything was working with us.

Our serve receive kind of broke down a little bit and they picked up their serving. They just started bombing balls at us and we couldn’t stop them.”

The Red Raiders also had trouble serving the ball, totaling eight service errors in the match.

Flora said the team approaches serving differently depending on who is at the line.

“I think there’s a couple ways to go about serving,” he said. “We have certain people who can be zero error and there is some people who we can take some risks with.

They’re a little bit more high ace or a little bit more of a pressure serve, so it’s OK to take some risks, but we’ve got to know when and why also.”

Saturday’s match with the Bears ended Tech’s first round of Big 12 play.

Stacy said the team won’t change its game plan the rest of the way and will continue to improve throughout the season.

“We’re definitely going to keep preparing in practice by doing what

we’ve been doing,” she said. “We have to keep pushing.”

The Red Raiders have been plagued with injuries all season, which is something Flora said is common with every team.

“We’d like to be more healthy,” he said. “There’s a lot of bumps and bruises, but everyone has had bumps and bruises. Getting a little healthy, making sure we take care of ourselves, our bodies and just continue to grow.”

Flora said the defense and offense both need to step it up for the second half of conference play.

“We’re growing in some areas,” he said. “We’ve played fantastic defense and just have to be a little bit better blocking and attacking against these good Big 12 teams.”

The Red Raiders continue conference play at 8 p.m. Wednesday when they travel to Ames, Iowa, to face Iowa State in Hilton Coliseum. ➤➤rrose@dailytoreador.com
