As a freshman, Tabitha Collier regularly saw used pregnancy tests in the trashcans of her residence hall bathroom.

“That’s not something we should be having,” Collier, a junior psychology major from Arlington, said.

Collier knew she wanted to get on birth control when she began her college career, but didn’t know where to get information on the topic.

As she was researching online she stumbled across Bedsider.

Bedsider is an online birth control support network for young women, according to Bedsider’s website. The private, nonprofit organization is operated by The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.

Collier began receiving the answers she needed from the website and started telling people about the resource.

Fans of Texas Tech football gathered outside Frazier Alumni Pavilion to ensure early entry to Saturday’s game against Oklahoma State with one of Tech’s traditions, Raiderville.

The small, makeshift community called Raiderville was home to a number of students throughout the week as they lived in tents and went through cold nights to be the first students let into the game.

“It’s a more coordinated way to provide the opportunity to support Texas Tech football, promote university spirit and at the same time still receive that early entry into the football game,” said Amy Murphy, dean of students.

Tech knows students are interested in being in the front row at football games, Murphy said, and it can be difficult if it

doesn’t coordinate with the students.

Therefore, Raiderville was created.

Ryan Reyna, a senior mechanical engineering major from The Woodlands and mayor of Raiderville, said it’s a great way to support the team and spend quality time with friends.

“It’s just an opportunity for the students to come out, show support for the football team and have a good time with their friends,” he said.

As mayor, Reyna is in charge of organizing the event and checking people in during the mornings and evenings, which is used in figuring out who gets first entry.

The more check-ins a student has, the sooner they will get into the game, he said. The final check-in is today at the soccer game where students will receive a wristband with their place in line on it.

Texas Tech football is not only a form of entertainment for the thousands of Red Raider football fans, but also serves as an economy booster for the Lubbock community.

Chancellor Kent Hance and President M. Duane Nellis both mentioned how Tech has had a huge impact on the Lubbock economy. Tech has nearly $10 billion on Texas economically, according to a news release published in March.

The season Tech football has helped local businesses, with Tech merchandise stores, such as Red Raider Outfitter and The Matador, seeing a positive economic impact this season.

Red Raider Outfitter has been part of the Lubbock community since 1975, according to its website. The

Matador is one of the newest retailers of Tech gear in Lubbock and is alumni-owned and operated, according to its website.

“The energy associated with Tech football is seen in the sales, which have been quite significant this season in comparison to other seasons,” said Steven Massengale, owner of The Matador. “We started seeing the increasing sales during the summer before the season even started.”

In 2010, Bradley Ewing, a Rawls College of Business professor of operations management, did a project on the economic impact of Tech. According to the project, every home game sustains or creates 82 jobs.

According to the report, a single game generates more than $6 million in economic output and close to $2 million in household income.

Tech hosts Gameday Recycling Challenge Texas Tech is making an effort to promote waste reduction at football games through the Gameday Recycling Challenge.

Saturday, during the game against Oklahoma State, Student Housing and other organizations, including Student Government Association, will join together to collect recyclable material, such as aluminum, plastic and glass.

Material will be collected at tailgating areas, Jones AT&T Stadium, the Frazier Alumni Pavilion and the Athletic Training Center. Tailgaters will receive bags and are asked to place all their recyclable items in them to later be picked up by volunteers, according to a news release.

“This is the first time we have done this,” Jackie Kimbler, unit manager for Student Housing, said. “We did compete in the RecycleMania challenge last spring.

We really didn’t do too bad for our first year, so we wanted to

go ahead and do the Gameday.

We really want to see if we can make a difference on that game, from the tailgaters to the stadium to anybody.”

Gameday Recycling Challenge is a competition between many universities to see who can create the least amount of waste, Kimbler said. The amount of recycled materials is compared to the amount of waste or trash the school collects. In this, the schools will determine the diversion rate or how much material was spared from sitting in a landfill.

To participate in the competition, a given school needs to track the quantity of recyclables, organic food waste and trash generated at one home football game of its choice. After the game, the school will report the quantities of each material type to be ranked in each of five categories, according to the competition’s official website.

The five categories are paper, including boxboard, programs,

newspaper and office paper; ing, materials and money. beverage containers, including Volunteers for the event, plastic bottles and cups, alumi- which are comprised of faculty, num cans, glass bottles and jars staff and students, will be given a and steel cans; cardboard; mixed T-shirt as well as a drink and hot recyclable dog coupon materials to be used at the staand trash, accorddium, according to ing to the website. the release. “ I t ’ s There huge in tryare many experiing to make something e n c e d universilike this work, but ties competing we’re workthat will ing frantically to try collect close to to put this JACKIE KIMBLER together no waste, UNIT MANAGER K i m for Saturday so we bler said.

SGA President Luke Cotton said SGA’s role in the event is to provide student volunteers to help recycle items people would normally throw away.

He said SGA representatives will go around tailgates and after the game to collect recyclable goods that would normally go to waste.

SGA also is encouraging other student organizations to participate in the challenge because it is a campus-wide endeavor. They are offering any student organization recognition at an upcoming basketball game. The highest recycling individual, who is the person who brings in the largest amount of recycled material, has the opportunity to win a basketball signed by Tubby Smith, Tech men’s basketball coach.

Cotton said he encourages anyone who is interested in participating to contact him, and it is important for Tech to compete in activities such as Gameday Recycling Challenge because it helps improve the campus’

position as a top university for sustainability.

“With Texas Tech being the leader of Texas in campus sustainability, I think this just keeps us improving in our sustainability efforts with the recycling challenge,” he said. “It’s one of those things where many businesses and organizations, once they get to the top and they’re doing so well, then they stop trying to improve. Here at Texas Tech, with having services in our sustainability organizations, we’re always trying to improve so we don’t get passed by someone else.”

Other Big 12 Conference Competitors in the challenge are the University of Texas at Austin and University of Kansas.

The first Raiderville of the season was supposed to happen before the game against Texas Christian University, but because the game was on a Thursday, it moved to the Oklahoma State game, Reyna said.

For Reyna, the coolest part of the event was seeing all the students show support for the team and that the team was able to see that support, he said.

Physical education specialist works with autistic students

By TYLER DORNER Staff Writer

A physical education specialist, Jeff Key, talked to students about what he calls “Awesome PE” at 1 p.m.

Thursday in the Teaching, Learning and Professional Development Center.

Key hosts a physical education class every Tuesday at the Exercise Sports Center for students of the Burkhart Center for Autism Education and Research who deal with a higher spectrum of autism and can work on their fitness.

“I’ve been in education 28 years and it took me 18 years to find my passion and my gift,” he said. “My gift is working with kids with special needs.”

Key gave a slideshow presentation with pictures of some of the students playing games and showed videos, including one of a Burkhart graduate who was on the television show “So You Think You Can Dance.”

The video was of Sam Shreffler’s dance performance, and it received

a standing ovation. Despite not advancing to the next round, Shreffler stayed positive throughout the audition.

The next video was of Jason McElwain, an autistic basketball player who hit six 3-pointers in one game.

Key said he was trying to show that despite the disabilities, these people did amazing things.

“I hope they have an awareness that students of all abilities have a desire to stay fit for a lifetime and can, it’s just a matter of overcoming some of the fears,” he said.

Key was going to host an interactive event with his students, but because it was Halloween none of his students could make it, he said.

Chancy Price, a senior academic counselor who helped set up the event, said the event was part of Disability Awareness Week and is one of the different events going on throughout the week.

“We’re just really hoping that people get out ways to better work with their students,” she said.

Thirteen college-aged students walked into the Exercise Sports Center, stretch and went to four different stations that had fitness routines or games, such as basketball or tennis, Key said.

He said he wants to help his students with social benefits, including taking turns and sharing, but wants to make sure it’s age appropriate to them so he plays music like Train and Mumford and Sons, and makes sure not to treat them like children.

They hosted their own version of the Special Olympics where students were given medals and certificates of participation — something the students loved, Key said.

Madison Viladevall, a freshman early childhood education major from Crawford, said she attended because she is thinking about working in special education. She learned people have to adapt to the students’ level and not rush things.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Vatican is taking the unusual step of conducting a worldwide survey on how parishes deal with sensitive issues such as birth control, divorce and gay marriage, seeking input ahead of a major meeting on the family that Pope Francis plans next year.

The poll was sent in mid-October to every national conference of bishops with a request from the Vatican coordinator, Archbishop Lorenzo Baldisseri, to “share it immediately as widely as possible to deaneries and parishes so that input from local sources can be received.”

The survey reflects the pope’s pledges to move away from what he called a “Vatican-centric” approach toward one where local church leaders are more involved in decision-making.

Among the questions are whether gay marriage is recognized in their country and how priests minister to same-sex couples, including how churches can respond when gays seek a religious education or Holy Communion for their children. The poll also asks “how is God’s mercy proclaimed” to separated, divorced and remarried couples. Additional information is sought on the pastoral care of men and women who live together outside of marriage. The survey also asks parishes whether they believe married men and women tend to follow church teaching barring the use of artificial

contraception.

The National Catholic Reporter, an independent news organization, was first to report Thursday that the survey will be conducted, and it posted a copy online.

Helen Osman, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington, confirmed plans for the poll to The Associated Press.

“It will be up to each bishop to determine what would be the most useful way of gathering information to provide to Rome,” Osman wrote in an email. In England, bishops have posted the survey online to be filled out by a wide range of Catholics, including priests, lay people, parents

and nuns.

The poll findings will help set the agenda for an extraordinary synod, or meeting, of the presidents of national bishops conferences in October 2014.

The introduction to the survey lays out a broad list of concerns which the document says “were unheard of until a few years ago,” including single-parent families, polygamy, interfaith marriages and “forms of feminism hostile to the church.” Surrogate motherhood is lamented in the document as “wombs for hire,” and the survey cites as a new challenge “same-sex unions between persons who are, not infrequently, permitted to adopt children.”

Opinions

US foreign spying policy beneficial Jordan Sigler based think-tank Chatham House, whose specialty is defense and European security, was quoted in the USA Today article as saying the European governments are probably not surprised by the spying and wouldn’t turn away President Barack Obama’s private transcripts if they had the opportunity as h e ’s c e r t a i n most governments spy on each other.

“I think there are two things: the surveillance of enormous amounts of private individuals’ emails, which I think will be an issue. Then there’s the stuff of elite-level spying, which I don’t suppose really surprises anyone … but it still comes as a slight shock to see it reported,” Menon said.

“

Unfortunately, because of the traitor Snowden, it is being reported. But spying on another nation shouldn’t be this big of a deal. It is necessary in the 21st century, as it was in past centuries, to keep our nation safe and prosperous. Other nations are doing this to us — case in point, China, which has tried to hack into U.S. government computer systems.

Recently, Russia has come under fire for attempting to spy on other nations.

In an article by U.K. news website telegraph. co.uk, at the G20 summit meeting last month, Russia gave delegates USB pen drives for more than just friendly gifts. The USB pens had a Trojan-horse program where it could take phone and computer data.

This isn’t something to get up in arms about. Spying like this, I would assume, would be commonplace. While I’m glad we found out about the Trojanriddled USB pen, it’s not a mind-

ore and more carnage is being collected by the nettlesome National Security Agency leaks from the troublesome Edward Snowden.

Now countries other than Russia and China feel abused by the United States’ spying.

Germany and Spain are outraged by the allegations of U.S. spying in the countries.

According to a USA Today article, NSA collected information about 60 million phone calls of Spain’s citizens, prompting them to protest the U.S. overreach and look into a legal inquiry against the U.S. for spying.

Germany also is upset about allegations that the U.S. spied on Chancellor Angela Merkel by tapping her cellphone, as reported by the German weekly newspaper Der Spiegel.

This may come as a shock to some, but not to me. The U.S. already was looking into the personal lives of Chinese citizens, so why not Spain’s? If the U.S. has the ability to spy on Merkel, why not take it? This one-up on the competition is something all nations in their right mind would do if they had the ability.

It just makes sense to keep tabs on others — not just for safety, but also for economic gains.

boggling or earth-shattering revelation. This is what nations are supposed to do — what else do countries have large intelligence agencies for?

Spying for foreign intel ligence is commonplace and known among elected leaders in Washington, though there is a dispute NSA may be going too far and not being transparent enough. According to an article in The New York Times, Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers said he’s been briefed on what NSA is doing and has defended the agency in the past.

“To make the case that somehow we are in the dark is mystifying to me,” said Rogers in The New York Times article. “It is disingenuous to imply that this committee did not have a full and complete understanding of activities of the intelligence community as was directed under the national intelligence priority framework to include sources and methods.”

If representatives are saying they’re being adequately briefed and are OK with spying on foreign entities with the information they’ve been given, there probably is a reason for such activities.

Victims finally get justice in Sandusky scandal

By CARA SMITH

The Daily Cougar (u. housTon)

In what will hopefully serve as a conclusion to one of the decade’s most reprehensible offenses, Penn State has reached a settlement agreement with the victims of Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuses.

It’s not an act of closure by any means, but it’s one of the few tangible ways in which these transgressors can still perform their penance.

According to Deadspin, the university has reached a settlement agreement of $59.7 million for the 26 victims. The originally speculated amount of $60 million, which was reported this summer by the Philadelphia Enquirer, seems to have rung true.

Gawker reports the university as having rejected six of the 32 total claims because they were “without merit.” It’s obviously a matter of legality, but the urge to make a comment about the pot calling

the kettle black remains, nonetheless.

The news originally came out on the university’s website, where officials tastefully disclosed the hopefully last bits of information on the scandal by which they’ve been branded.

“We hope this is another step forward in the healing process for those hurt by Mr. Sandusky and another step forward for Penn State,” announced University President Rodney Erickson on Penn State’s website. “We cannot undo what has been done, but we can and must do everything possible to learn from this and ensure it never happens again at Penn State.”

The reparations won’t be covered by a tuition hike or some incognito fee plastered onto the bills of the university’s 45,000 students — Penn State isn’t exactly in a position to afford any more bad press. Rather, the university’s website explained that the university has insurance policies in the case of such

liabilities, and that those should foot the majority of the bill.

The site also went on to explain that any shortages on the insurance’s end will be covered by interest payments from the university’s loan system, and that smells like some semblance of a victory, at least.

A day when swift justice is brought via the loss of profits from student loans?

That’s something a college student can stand behind.

In all seriousness, though, I’m sure I’m not the only one struggling to feel that sense of true, intrinsic justice at the ending of this 15-year-long horror story.

It’s tough to regard this as a victory.

On the one hand, much of our nation’s populace has grown to attribute the university with as much responsibility for Sandusky’s villainies as Sandusky himself.

If anything, this sort of news is a nice taste of vengeance. It’s a thing close to exacting our revenge against those responsible for the agony and emotional torment that

will plague the victims for the rest of their lives.

It’ll afford each of the victims — those who were admissible in court, at least — roughly $2.3 million to help them seek additional counsel or start anew in a new burrow.

It also might just be giving them a huge stack of tiny, flammable scraps of paper covered in images of an aging man’s face. Maybe the money will be the conduit for a grand act of catharsis, and that’s perfectly okay, too.

Really, the only fitting reparation in this situation would be a time machine.

Until that dream becomes a reality, we’ll just have to make sure we live in a world where these sorts of things stand out as disgraceful and continue to refuse their acceptance as a commonality.

Regardless, the die’s been rolled and Sandusky is in jail. The fight’s coming to an end, sure, but it’s not something that’ll ever truly be over.

Networking important for career advancement

T

he value of creating your own personal network should be a top priority for college students.

With the unemployment rate at more than 7 percent, according to Business Insider, each graduating student needs to understand how to grow their network during college while understanding how to utilize their personal network.

By the time you graduate, it will be a little too late to try to build a useful network.

Throughout your career at Texas Tech, building a useful network is as easy as growing your circle and exiting your isolated bubble.

There are a ridiculous number of great student organizations and clubs that allow you to connect with people who have the same interests as you.

It doesn’t matter what it is as long as you get involved, get connected and stay acquainted.

There is a quote that everyone knows, and while some disagree with it, it honestly is completely true: “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

Learning how to utilize your friends, old family friends, neighbors, teachers and coworkers is a must if you wish to land a job in a particular area.

I ha v e s e e n m a ny o v e rqualified students get passed up for a job simply because their competitor, with a lower GPA and less experience, knew someone who was employed by the company.

Yes, this is unfair. No, complaining will not change anything. The only thing to do is realize that as a college student you have roughly four years to build one resume that will be judged more than you know as well as a network to accompany it.

It now is easier than ever to build your network. Using social media, such as Twitter and LinkedIn, allows a constant compilation of the network you

The oraCle (u. souTh FloriDa)

The echoes of gunshots once again reverberated through the heart of America with the 13th school-shooting incident since the one at Sandy Hook Elementary last year.

It happened at a Nevada middle school last week, where a student shot a teacher, two students and himself.

For a country that is still recovering from the horrors of Sandy Hook, it should make sense that the nation’s lawmakers are doing everything they can to prevent further tragedies.

But besides increasing school security, which admittedly has helped, laws are

not actually being changed for the better. Even though the reduction in school shootings and gun-related tragedies in the last two decades has slowed, it has clearly not stopped gun violence.

If changed laws were to correlate with the increased school security, then it would dramatically decrease, and hopefully end gun violence in schools.

According to the Youth Gun Violence Fact Sheet released by the National Association of School Psychologists, the past two decades have witnessed a drop in incidents of school violence, including homicide rates and violent crime.

The SRO program is making a positive impact, but it is clearly not enough.

According to the Youth Gun Violence Fact Sheet, there is a strong, significant relationship between gun availability and homicide.

A study published in the American Journal of Medicine in September found that the U.S. has the most guns per head in the world, and has the highest rate of deaths from firearms; compared to Japan, which has the lowest rate of gun ownership and the least deaths from firearms.

Opponents of stricter gun laws maintain that gun violence occurs most where

guns are actually not allowed, such as schools, which makes the people inside easy targets.

To prevent future shootings, security that is not so obvious should be added and be more prevalent in schools. Numerous school districts around the country have had added security features such as schoolwide cameras, fences and closed off all but one entrance to its schools.

However, the best solution would be for more training for school administrators and teachers on how to handle an attack such as this. If this training were to expand, it could reduce the rates of gun violence in schools.

The more adults are trained to handle real-time gun violence in an educational setting, the better; it will lead to less fatalities and injuries.

It is almost laughable that the country that invented the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, and continues to lead the world in information technology, is so inept, that its government cannot get a federal website working properly.

Since Oct. 1, healthcare.gov has been down for most of the country, as millions try to access the federally mandated health care market. Maybe if government agencies could focus more on solving the IT problem for Obamacare, instead of listening in on France and Spain, the problem would be fixed already.

While it is true that this mistake is dumbfounding, the problem does need to be fixed, and healthcare.gov needs to get working — and soon.

As millions of people wait to gain secure health care, politicians are playing a childish round of the blame game.

Twitter allows an unprecedented way to communicate with anyone in the world.

Brand your Twitter — Yes, it can sometimes be personal — but find your niche in the “Twittersphere,” follow leaders in your industry and interact with them on a consistent basis.

Finally, as I have written before, internships are perhaps the most important thing a college student can do. Gaining real-world experience with a company instead of staying in Lubbock to take summer classes affects your attractiveness to companies many times over.

Besides this eye-attracting internship portion of your resume, creating real-world relationships with people through an internship puts you within reach of each one of their own personal networks and colleagues.

Creating and building this network should not be viewed as work. Have fun and enjoy your college career through getting connected with people who are like-minded. Don’t look at meeting people solely as a potential future business transaction, but instead simply create a real relationship.

Instead of investing more energy on solving the glitches with the website, many congressmen have been wasting time over the past few weeks to call for the resignation of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

While an apology from Sebelius may have been necessary at the House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing Wednesday morning, it certainly didn’t help solve the problem, which she called a “miserably frustrating experience.”

Sebelius, much like President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, is not a computer expert.

During their climb up the political ladder, it is dubious that Sebelius, Obama and Biden were trained on creating or troubleshooting websites.

Sure they had oversight and should be held responsible, but most likely, the ones to blame for the mistakes are the IT people working directly on the health care website, or the ones who directly hired those IT people.

Professor talks challenges of discovering particle

By JONATHAN GUTIERREZ Contributing Writer

To Sung-Won Lee, an associate professor in the Department of Physics, the journey to discover the elusive Higgs Boson was one that required faith. It took motivation and an understanding the goal would not be met overnight — it would prove an arduous journey that would test his character.

During the year 2000, Lee began his journey by finding a Higgs — Professor Peter Higgs at his birthday party in Edinburgh, Scotland. Lee and his colleagues were seated at one of many round tables in a castle where Higgs’ party was hosted.

Among themselves, Lee and his colleagues chatted about their future goals in their careers, but finding a Higgs Boson was never mentioned, although all had degrees that would lead them to the field of high-energy physics.

Suddenly, Higgs visited their table.

Higgs asked about their career aspirations. They all said they would eventually like to find him, alluding to the elusive Higgs Boson. Higgs told the table it would be nice to accomplish the goal during his lifetime.

Lee said that night was a great motivation for him and the other young physicists who had the chance to be encouraged by Higgs.

“We had seen (Higgs) in textbooks and papers, but we had never had the chance to actually talk with him,” Lee said. “He made a big impression on me by encouraging us to hunt for a Higgs Boson. We looked at one another at

the table and said, ‘We got the mission. Now, let’s do something.’”

That encouragement motivated Lee to remain in the field of highenergy physics to this day.

“It was a very lucky opportunity for me,” Lee said.

To find a Higgs Boson, high-energy physicists needed one of the world’s largest machines to examine the universe’s tiniest particles.

Lee works on the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at European Council for Nuclear Research in Geneva, with Texas Tech’s High Energy Physics Group. The CMS is one of two large general-purpose particle physics detectors built on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Its purpose is to search for a Higgs Boson, extra dimensions and particles that could comprise dark matter.

The Large Hadron Collider is a circular machine 100 meters below the border of France and Switzerland created to help reveal the secrets of the observable universe, according to CERN. To find a Higgs Boson, it took 2,000 people working together at the Large Hadron Collider, taking part in logical experiments that would allow them to find new information by trial and error.

“Sometimes, I got stuck and I would start swearing,” Lee said. “This is in part why the Higgs Boson got the nickname ‘God Particle,’ because people would find themselves saying, ‘God damn particle, where is it?’ We spent a lot of time hunting down a Higgs Boson, but it wouldn’t work out. It comes with the job. Many of

my friends left the field, but I am one of the lucky guys to survive this field.”

The bottom line is that it takes time to achieve physics goals, Lee said.

“Sometimes I would get lucky, and the next moment I would get upset and go to bed, but I would start thinking and come up with a new way of approaching the task,” he said. “The next morning I would fix something and move forward. Whenever I was stuck somewhere, I always got help from friends and colleagues, so I couldn’t really stop doing what I like.”

Lee’s wife, Min-Joo Kim, is an associate professor of linguistics in the Department of English.

She said Lee works hard to uncover the origins of the universe by continuously participating in CMS experiments at CERN. “I can see that he is making efforts to achieve that goal by working closely with his colleagues, postdoctoral researchers and graduate students every single day,” she said. “For example, he never ever misses any single meeting with his colleagues or students, whether they are in person or in some cyberspace, and whether it rains or shines.”

Kim said Lee is a highly focused and efficient individual.

“He is a leader and he is extremely responsible and well-organized,” she said.

Patrick Timlick, a physics major from Plano, is a former student of Lee. He said Lee’s personality was always genuine.

“I’d come by his office hours periodically during the week, and if (Lee) wasn’t busy in the lab, I’d have

a chance to talk to him,” Timlick said. “He was very caring, patient and concerned. I enjoyed getting to talk to someone with immensely more physical insight of the world we live in.”

CERN tentatively confirmed the exsistence of Higgs Boson on March 14.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics to François Englert and Peter W. Higgs on Oct. 8 to recognize their work in developing the theory of the Higgs field, which gives elementary particles mass.

Lee said his journey from meeting Higgs to the discovery of the Higgs Boson did not go from point A to point B directly. The journey was more like an S-curve or triangle.

“If you look at all the physics textbooks, the research should be updated,” he said. “I would also work on doing this along the way. Whenever I was doing that, I would think that once I would have better technology and more manpower, my goal would be to go in a new direction. Higgs was one goal. Supersymmetry, extra dimensions, dark matter, black holes, or unexpected phenomena would be my other important goals. This is my motivation.”

Through faith in his goal to prove the existence of a Higgs Boson, Lee, along with the rest of the research team at CERN, opened a new realm of physics to be explored. The journey to understand the universe is ongoing with no end in sight, but Lee and his colleagues continue their pursuit for answers. ➤➤features@dailytoreador.com

UK hacking prosecutor: Rebekah Brooks, Andy Coulson had affair LONDON (AP) — A prosecutor electrified Britain’s phone hacking trial Thursday by revealing that Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson — the two most senior U.K. tabloid editors accused of illegal eavesdropping and bribery — had a secret affair lasting at least six years.

Prosecutor Andrew Edis said the relationship between the two powerful editors — both former top Rupert Murdoch aides and associates

of Prime Minister David Cameron — goes to the heart of the case’s key question: Who knew what during years of illicit activity at Murdoch’s News of the World and Sun tabloids?

The fact they had an affair and kept it secret “means they trusted each other a lot,” Edis said. He said there was “absolute confidence between the two of them” about issues at their work.

“Through the relevant period,

what Mr. Coulson knew Mrs. Brooks knew too, and what Mrs. Brooks knew Mr. Coulson knew too, because it’s clear ... that as at February 2004 they had been having an affair which had lasted at least six years,” he said.

The two enjoyed close ties to Britain’s media and political elite.

Brooks has been friends with Cameron and Coulson served as his communications director before and after Cameron’s election as

prime minister in 2010.

Edis said their affair started in about 1998 and covered the period when Brooks was News of the World editor and Coulson her deputy — including the period in 2002 when the newspaper hacked into the phone of 13-year-old Milly Dowler, who was later found murdered.

The prosecution contends that Brooks and Coulson must have sanctioned the hacking.

Brooks and Coulson, both 45, Brooks’ current husband Charles Brooks, and five others are on trial in the first major criminal case spawned by the revelation of the paper’s eavesdropping. The eight defendants all deny a variety of charges related to phone hacking, bribing officials and obstructing a police inquiry.

The phone hacking scandal forced Murdoch to shut the 168-yearold News of the World, triggered

police inquiries into phone hacking and bribery by journalists and has created intense pressure on Britain’s freewheeling tabloid press to mend its ways.

In his opening statement Thursday, Edis laid out the prosecution’s claim that Brooks, Coulson and other senior editors must have known about phone hacking that went on for years at the News of the World and its sister paper, The Sun.

Academic fair broadens student opportunities

By ALI WILLINGHAM Staff Writer

Hosted Halloween day, the Majors and Minors Fair filled the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center Thursday with booths from every program offered at Texas Tech.

Along with booths from all the academic programs, staff members from the University Career Center were stationed at a booth near the entrance to the fair. Students who were unsure of their personal strengths were given the opportunity to take the FOCUS assessment at the career center’s booth.

From there students were allowed to peruse the room and visit each college’s academic booth.

The programs, which spread across 45 tables in the alumni center, had advisers, faculty members, current students and student ambassadors to represent their colleges.

Assistant director Rachel Bobbitt, from Lamont, Okla., said the fair was an opportunity for undergraduate students to come and explore all the academic programs Tech has to offer.

Research shows, she said, anywhere from 50 to 70 percent of students who enter college are undecided or unsure of their major.

“So this is an event we host for the students,” Bobbitt said, “So they can decide what they want to do, where they want to go and how we can help them find their fit here.”

Although they’ve hosted the fair for several years, she said this year

was the first they’ve expanded to include minors in the fair.

Minors are really helpful for students to make themselves marketable in the job place, Bobbitt said.

“A lot of employers,” she said, “are looking for students with specialized skills, and having a minor is a great way to get that skill and make themselves more marketable when they graduate.”

Jake Rapini, a freshman graphic design major from Sonora, Calif., said he attended the fair to look for a minor.

He said his parents told him to look into business, but he was checking out everything.

“Everything is really awesome so far,” Rapini said.

His favorite part of the fair, he said, was getting all of the advisers’ cards so he could speak with them about starting a career.

He wants to get an internship, Rapini said, and they were helping him with that, as well.

“Everybody is willing to talk to you,” he said. “The hospitality is just really nice.”

Rapini said students could always change their major or minor, so the fair gives students a broad aspect of what’s available.

Students could make their decision from the fair, he said.

“I wasn’t expecting to find a minor,” Rapini said, “but I wanted to come get all the pamphlets and stuff and figure out my options.”

Shelley Stevenson was another student who attended the fair in search of a minor.

JUDY POFFENBARGER, THE Communication Studies academic adviser, discusses the potential career opportunities students that graduate with a degree in communication studies can pursue with Chris Ford, a freshman with no declared major from Allen, during the Major Minor Fair on Thursday in the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center.

The freshman early education major from Lubbock, said she hoped to a minor that would help her in her future career as a teacher to children.

“I like how helpful the people have been,” Stevenson said. “They

were good at giving the information. They didn’t stop and say to find someone else to explain, they knew what they were talking about.”

Students could do an Internet search, Bobbitt said, and find

information about what programs Tech offers.

By having it in one location, she said students were able to get the perspective from someone who was in that program.

“They could come explore ma-

jors, then they could declare that major today. They could add a minor today,” Bobbitt said. “We really wanted to make the fair a one-stop shop for students to provide the best service for the students we could.” ➤➤awillingham@dailytoreador.com

Bob Dylan’s guitar from Newport School to unveil writer’s ‘Death Collection’ to be auctioned in NYC NEW YORK (AP) — The sunburst Fender Stratocaster that a young Bob Dylan played at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival when he famously went electric, perhaps the most historic instrument in rock ‘n’ roll, is coming up for auction, where it could bring as much as half a million dollars.

Though now viewed as changing American music forever, Dylan’s three-song electric set at the Rhode Island festival that marked his move from acoustic folk to electric rock ‘n’ roll was met by boos from folk purists in the crowd who viewed him as a traitor. He returned for an acoustic encore with “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue.”

Now the guitar is being offered for sale Dec. 6, Christie’s said. Five lots of hand- and typewritten lyric fragments found inside the guitar case — early versions of some of Dylan’s legendary songs — also are being sold. The lyrics have a presale estimate ranging from $3,000 to $30,000.

With a classic sunburst finish and original flat-wound strings, the guitar has been in the possession of a New Jersey family for nearly 50 years. Dylan left it on a private plane piloted by the owner’s late father, Vic Quinto, who worked for Dylan’s manager.

His daughter, Dawn Peterson, of Morris County, N.J., has said her father asked the management company what to do with the guitar but nobody ever got back to him.

Last year, she took it to the PBS show “History Detectives” to try to have it authenticated. The program enlisted the expertise of Andy Babiuk, a consultant to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and owner of an upstate New York vintage instrument shop, and Jeff Gold, a Dylan memorabilia expert. Both men, who appeared on the episode, unequivocally declared the artifacts belonged to Dylan.

Babiuk took the instrument apart and also compared it to close-up color photos of the guitar taken at

the 1965 festival.

“I was able to match the wood grain on the body of the guitar ... and the unique grain of the rosewood fingerboard. Wood grains are like fingerprints, no two are exactly alike,” Babiuk said in an interview.

“Based on the sum of the evidence, I was able to identify that this guitar was the one that Bob Dylan had played in Newport.”

Dylan’s attorney and his publicist did not respond to email and phone requests for comment. Dylan and Peterson, who declined to be interviewed, recently settled a legal dispute over the items.

The terms of the settlement were not disclosed but allowed Peterson to sell the guitar and lyrics, according to Rolling Stone, which wrote in July about Peterson’s quest to authenticate the guitar.

“Representatives for Bob Dylan do not contest the sale of the guitar, and are aware of Christie’s plan to bring it to auction,” a statement issued through Christie’s said.

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Acclaimed horror writer Michael McDowell couldn’t get enough of death.

He collected photographs of people after their demise, whether from natural causes or after crossing paths with someone with a noose, knife or a gun. He gathered ads for burial gowns and pins containing locks of dead people’s hair. He even used a coffin housing a skeleton as his coffee table.

Now Northwestern University, which months ago purchased the “Death Collection” McDowell amassed in three decades before his own death in 1999, is preparing to open the vault.

Researchers studying the history of death, its mourning rituals and businesses that profit from it soon will be able to browse artifacts amassed by an enthusiast author Stephen King once heralded as “a writer for the ages.”

McDowell’s long career included penning more than two dozen novels, screenplays for King’s novel “Thinner” and director Tim Burton’s movies “Beetlejuice” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” He

also wrote episodes for such macabre television shows as “Tales from the Darkside” and “Alfred Hitchcock Presents.”

“We are very removed from death today, and a lot of this stuff we see in this collection gives us a snapshot in how people have dealt with death generations ago in ways very different from today,” said Benn Joseph, a manuscript librarian at the school. “We look at it nowadays and think this is inappropriate or gory ... but when it was done, it was very much acceptable.”

Joseph spent months getting the 76-box collection — one containing a child’s coffin — ready to be studied. The archive, which officials said ultimately will go on public display, includes at least one artifact dating to the 16th century: a Spanish painting of a dead boy, his eyes closed, wearing a cloak with a ruffled collar.

The school bought the collection from McDowell’s partner for an undisclosed price.

McDowell’s younger brother, James, said he didn’t realize but wasn’t surprised by the extent of the collection.

“He always had kind of a gothic

horror side to him,” James McDowell said in a telephone interview.

There are photographs and postcards from around the world. One, taken in 1899 in Cuba, shows a pile of skulls and bones. In another, a soldier in the Philippines poses with a man’s severed head.

There also are reminders of the infamous. Photographs show the people convicted of conspiracy for Abraham Lincoln’s assassination being hanged, with dozens of soldiers looking on and the U.S. Capitol looming in the background.

Some pictures are gruesome, including one of a man whose legs are on one side of the train tracks and the rest of him in the middle. But much of the collection is devoted to the deaths of regular Americans and how they were memorialized in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

There are, for example, dozens of photographs that families had made into postcards of their dead children.

Dressed in their finest clothes, many appear to be sleeping, absent any hint of the pain some undoubtedly experienced in their last days. Some have their eyes open, serious looks on their faces.

Red Raiders try to rebound from first loss Staff Writer

For the first time in his headcoaching career, Texas Tech (7-1, 4-1) coach Kliff Kingsbury will coach a team off of a loss heading into Saturday’s game.

Before the game against Oklahoma last week, Kingsbury lost twice as an offensive coordinator, but said he doesn’t think he’ll have any problem motivating the Tech team for Saturday’s game against No. 18 Oklahoma State (7-1, 4-1).

“We’ve lost before. Not very often, which is a good thing. But it’s a highly motivated group,” Kingsbury said. “I don’t think there should be any problem with getting them motivated to play this game, and everything’s out in front of them. If you want to win the Big 12, you’re going to have to win the rest of the games anyways, and I think they see that.”

One of the biggest problems for Tech in its loss to Oklahoma was an inability to stop the run, and Oklahoma State achieved the most success its seen all season during the game against Iowa State last weekend.

Junior running back Desmond Roland had the majority of the

rushing yards for the Cowboys, through the air.

“Oklahoma State’s offense is but coach Mike Gundy said their offensive line was the main reason just so dynamic,” Jackson said.

“They can run the ball, and they had success on the ground.

“The majority of it falls on our they’ve got receivers that can run offensive line and their ability to through the back of (Jones AT&T block so that the running backs Stadium). So it’s just going to be hard to try don’t have to make them to make a one dimensioncut in the al when they backfield,” do things very Gundy said. well.”

our number. They’ve had our number the last two seasons.

Like I said, it’s a new season, new coaching staff, new team, and we’ll go in there like we have the whole season ready to play.”

Kingsbury said a major part to breaking the Red Raiders’ losing streak against the Cowboys is the crowd in Jones AT&T Stadium.

He even partnered with Tech Athletics to give prizes to the top three costume-wearers at the game.

Students have responded to Kingsbury’s call in full force, with people beginning to camp outside the stadium as early as Monday night to receive the best seats for the game. The official title of the tent city is Raiderville, and it’s complete with its own mayor.

“I think (seeing students camped out) motivates us more than anything,” Amaro said.

“Personally, I think we have the greatest student section in the nation. I’ve been to four other road games and none of them compare to the way that our students act and the way they cheer and stuff like that.”

The game between the Cowboys and Red Raiders kicks off at 6 p.m. Saturday at the stadium. ➤➤ecorder@dailytoreador.com

Red Raiders, Longhorns duel for second place

By DAWIT HAILE Staff Writer

Texas Tech soccer no longer has a chance at the regular season title, but it still must battle for second place with Texas.

Tech currently has control of the No. 2 spot in the Big 12 Conference with an unbeaten conference record of 5-0-2.

However, Texas is not far away from stealing the spot from it at 5-1-1.

The matchup has favored the Red Raiders during the past couple of years with wins and last year they won at Austin for the first time since 1996.

Sophomore forward Janine Beckie said there is no worry about a letdown against the Longhorns coming off their victory against the No. 9 Mountaineers.

Coach Tom Stone told the team this is the last time it can make an impact on its place in national rankings and conference standings, Beckie said. This has Tech devoting all its focus to rival Texas.

“It’s always fun to play in a student rivalry,” she said. “Especially when we’re (in Lubbock) in front of our own crowd. And it’s a football weekend, so we know we’re going to have a good crowd. We’re not worried about the atmosphere at all.”

Even if the game is not a letdown, it will prove difficult for the Red Raiders because there are many similarities between the Longhorns and them.

Stone said this is probably the best Texas has been during the past four years.

Tech recognized the talent from Texas is preventing any distractions away from preparation for this last game of the season, he said.

Both teams can count on a variety of players to contribute to the offense. Tech has 18 players who have helped with goals and assists, while Texas has 17.

Subtract those players who have recorded only assists on offense from each team, and both still contain rosters with plenty of players who can score. Tech is equipped with 14 goal scorers, and Texas is armed with 13.

Senior goalkeeper Victoria Esson said she does not worry herself with individual players usually, so the amount of scorers does not faze her.

She focuses her attention on how opposing teams normally score, Esson said.

“I know (Texas) is really

strong on set pieces,“ she said.

“So we’ve really broken down our defending and seen how we can eliminate the chances.”

The difference with the Tech and Texas offenses is not how many players are capable of scoring on each of the teams, but how much they can score.

Finding the back of the net has been easier for Tech than Texas through the season. Tech has scored 11 more goals than Texas with 41 goals.

The Red Raiders face equal

competition on the defensive side of the ball, too.

This week’s Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week, Esson, may be the best goalkeeper in the conference in terms of shutouts with a conference-leading 12 shutouts. But, Texas’ sophomore goalkeeper Abby Smith is not far from Esson with eight shutouts during the season.

The two goalkeepers are at the top of the conference when it comes to save percentage. Esson has saved 89 percent and Smith

is at 82 percent.

Smith has 14 more saves than Esson, but this might come as a result of the Longhorn defenders allowing opposing teams 25 more shots than the Red Raiders.

Beckie said she is not too wor-

ried about Texas’ defense because if the Tech offense does what it’s capable of doing goals should not be difficult to come by.

Despite all the similarities between the two teams, the game will come down to which team

will fight hardest, Beckie said.

Second and third in the Big 12 will be revealed when the Red Raiders and Longhorns face each other at 7 p.m. Friday at the John Walker Soccer Complex. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com

Tech basketball adjusting to another new system Staff Writer

The upperclassmen on Texas Tech men’s basketball team have dealt with several coaching changes. The instability has made them a resilient bunch.

They have seen a new face as head coach the past two years.

In 2011, Billy Gillespie ran the team and then left for the Mayo Clinic before resigning soon after.

Then Chris Walker came in as the interim. The 2012 season was essentially a season-long interview for him, but Walker was not asked to return for the 2013 season.

This season the players will see coach Tubby Smith’s face. A new coach means a new system for the players once again.

Coach Alvin “Pooh” Williamson said the upperclassmen are now on their third, and in some cases, fourth new system.

The process of becoming acclimated to Smith’s system has gone slowly, Williams said, but the team is working hard to completely understand what Smith wants it to do.

“We got to get better every day,” Williams said. “We have to be better today than we were yesterday.”

Forward Jaye Crockett, a senior by eligibility, said the most difficult aspect to learning Smith’s system is the terminology. Everything is different for offense and defense from what Tech learned during past seasons.

The terminology may be difficult, but the style Smith wants the

team to adopt is what makes him Minnesota teams. Last season, Mindistinct from the other coaches, nesota ranked 50th in assists per game, while Crockett said.

Te c h d i d This style is unselfish basconsiderably ketball. There worse with 11.1 assists are drills Tech per game, does where it placing it is forced not to dribble the ball at 292nd in at all and only the nation, pass, he said. according to ESPN.com. “(Smith) is Junior big on just movforward Joring around and dan Tolbert not too much ALVIN WILLIAMSON dribbling and said previous MEN’S BASKETBALL coaches, and taking people ASSISTANT COACH off the dribble,” Smith, want Tech to exCrockett said.

This attention to passing is not hibit a level of toughness on the far from what Smith did with his floor.

“

We got to get better every day. We have to be better today than we were yesterday.

However, Smith puts more of an emphasis on playing defense, resulting into points on the offensive side of the game.

The type of team Smith is molding Tech into is one that is sound all-around, Williamson said. Reducing turnovers and screening better are some of the points of emphasis.

“At the same time,” he said, “you can’t move a mountain without moving one stone at a time.

So, that is kind of the focus we’e going with. Get better at the little things which gets you better at the big things.”

For Tolbert, improving on everything includes transforming his perimeter shot into a more dependable part of his game, Tolbert said.

The scheme is asking for him to become more consistent from the

perimeter to stretch out defenses.

Tolbert displayed advances in this area at the Tip-Off Celebration Friday by making two three-point shots.

The work he must put into his perimeter shot is nothing new for him, Tolbert said. He always is trying out new skills and continues to practice what he is already comfortable with to better the team.

Crockett said he is developing into more of a leader by becoming more vocal and helping all the underclassmen on the team know what is expected of them.

This leadership position allows him to see how everyone is coming along, and he thinks there is no one player that will breakout this season, Crockett said. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com

Romo backs Bryant, just like audio from rant IRVING (AP) — With audio now available to back up Dez Bryant’s claim that he was saying only positive things at Tony Romo in a sideline rant last weekend, the Dallas quarterback was ready to offer a passionate defense of his top receiver.

Romo took care of it without

the arm-waving that landed the emotional Bryant in the headlines again.

“Does he need to sometimes maybe look a little different for what’s going to be written and talked about? Sure,” Romo said Thursday in the Cowboys’ locker room.

“Does it really matter in

here? No. He’s a positive guy who loves his teammates. What else do you want? He’s passionate and he comes to work every day with a great attitude.

“I’d like a lot of teammates like that.”

Romo tried to warn the masses in the moments after a 31-30 loss to Detroit.

After finishing its fall season with the Red and Black series last weekend, the Texas Tech baseball team spent some time in the community this week.

The team visited Westwind Elementary School Tuesday for the school’s annual fall festival.

The Tech players and coaching staff played games with the students before giving them a chance to receive autographs.

Scott Lacefield, associate director for athletics and communications, said it is great to see student-athletes represent Tech so well in the community.

“It is great to see our baseball student-athletes out in the community,” he said. “Great job coaches, staff and studentathletes for making this happen and for serving as tremendous ambassadors of our outstanding university and athletics department.”

The baseball team begins its spring season Feb. 14. ➤➤ecorder@dailytoreador.com

Women’s golf finishes second in fall tournament The Texas Tech women’s golf team ended its fall season with a second-place finish Tuesday at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown at Stallion Mountain Golf Club.

Because of weather issues, the tournament was shortened to two rounds.

Tech (292-289—581) finished in a three-way tie for second place with No. 23 Central Florida and tournament host UNLV. Junior Elin Arvidsson finished in third place and sophomore Kimmy Hill and finished in fifth.

This was the second time this season both finished in the top five, according to a news release.

The Lady Raiders coach JoJo Robertson said she was pleased with the improvement of the team.

“I’m really proud of the team for the fight they showed in the last round,” she said. “Some of the things that we’ve talked about all season that needed attention were things we did well in the final holes that really moved us up the leaderboard.

Congratulations to Elin and Kimmy for great round and a great finish.”

Arvidsson (70-71—141) birdied the 17th hole in the final round to finish 1-under-par for the round and 3-under-par for the tournament. This was the

fourth time she finished below par during the fall season.

Hill (74-69—143) recorded the second-lowest round of the tournament with a 3-under-par.

This tied her with Nebraska’s Cassie Deeg for fifth place.

Other Lady Raiders who were impressive included Stephanie Bertelsen, who tied for 26th, and Hannah Arnold, who finished 35th. Redshirt freshman Victoria Uresti also finished 78th place in the tournament.

With the fall season now over, the next tournament for Tech is Feb. 16-18 at the Rio Mar Beach Resort in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. ➤➤jkrakosky@dailytoreador.com

TEXAS TECH FORWARD Dejan Kravic dunks two basketballs while participating in the slam dunk contest at the Tip-Off Celebration on Oct. 24 in United Spirit Arena.

By REX ROSE Staff Writer

The Red Raider basketball team takes the court against Angelo State today at 7 p.m. for an exhibition game in United Spirit Arena.

Forward Jaye Crockett, who is a senior by eligibility, said the game provides a good opportunity for the team to see how it can improve.

“It will be a great thing for the team to give confidence to all the new players and the coaches,” he said. “It will let us know where we are right now and if we need to go back in the lab and work on some things. It will let us know what we need to fix.”

Texas Tech fans will see a familiar face on the opposing bench because coach Chris Beard leads the Rams.

Tech’s first-year assistant coach Alvin “Pooh” Williamson said the team should be excited to play the Rams under Beard.

“We know Angelo State will be a great opponent,” he said. “Coach Beard, being a guy that was here for many years and has done a really good job since being a head coach — It will be fun to compete against those guys.”

Beard was part of the Tech staff from 2001-2011 with coach Bob Knight and was promoted to associate head coach in

2008 under Pat Knight, according to the Angelo State athletics website.

Crockett said he always has been a fan of Beard and looks forward to playing against the Rams.

“It will be great,” he said. “I used to love coach Beard when he was here. He was good at motivating us and teaching us in a different way than most coaches do. I know he’s a competitor, so he will have his team coming out and giving their all.”

Williamson said it’s always nice to compete against somebody other than your teammates.

“It will be a good thing,” he said.

“Even last weekend on Saturday when we went up and had the closed scrimmage in Dallas, it was just good to compete against someone else and finally stop beating up on one another.

“Our biggest thing that we want to do is improve from last Saturday. We want to make sure that we’ve gotten better as a team and as a group. The guys have been working and we look forward to getting out to compete against Angelo State.”

Junior forward Jordan Tolbert scored in 60 consecutive games and is one of the more experienced players on this year’s roster.

He said the game will be a good chance for the team to improve on small

things, even though the outcome won’t impact their record.

“We can use it to work on little things like helping your teammate when he gets beat on defense,” he said. “When we scrimmaged at SMU, that was a big thing. Our teammates got beat and we weren’t there to step up and help them.

The game doesn’t really count, so we can just use it to work on little things like that.”

This will be the last opponent Tech faces before starting regular season play against Houston Baptist on Nov. 8.

Crockett said he worked on his quickness during the offseason and is ready to see his defense improve throughout the season.

He is playing in his fourth system as a Red Raider and has had a new head coach each year.

“I’ve really just played the four or five spot,” he said. “This year, I’ll be playing more on the perimeter. I’ve worked on my ball handling and shooting a lot, but I struggled with guys who are quicker than me. I’m ready to see how I do defensively.”

Tolbert said he is excited to finally play in front of the fans in the USA. “It will be fun,” he said. “Showtime — lights, camera, action.” ➤➤rrose@dailytoreador.com
