STATE

Texas amendments on ballot Tuesday

By ANDREW GLEINSER Editor-in-ChiEf

Seven Texas constitutional amendments are on the ballot in Tuesday’s election, and voters will have the opportunity to determine if the amendments become part of the state constitution.

To get on the ballot, amendments must pass by a two-thirds vote in each house of the legislature, Nelson Dometrius, Texas Tech professor of political science, said. The Texas constitution has been amended nearly 500 times since it was ratified in 1876.

The first proposed amendment on Tuesday’s ballot, Proposition 1, would

increase the homestead property tax exemption from $15,000 to $25,000, according to votetexas.gov.

The amendment would cut property taxes while not cutting education funding because the state would cover the difference, according to the League of Women Voters of Lubbock’s Voters Guide. Arguments against the amendment are that it would reduce property taxes by very little and would not actually increase school funding.

Proposition 2 would extend the reach of a 2011 amendment allowing surviving spouses of disabled military veterans to claim a homestead tax exemption for all or part of the market

value of their residence, according to the Voters Guide.

The 2011 amendment did not apply to spouses of veterans who died before Jan. 1, 2010, according to the guide, and Proposition 2 would allow them to claim the exemption.

Those in favor of the amendment say it will provide tax relief for families of deceased disabled veterans and fix a problem with the original amendment, according to the Voters Guide, while opponents argue this will decrease tax revenue and force the state to cover the difference among school districts.

Students and fans participated in the halloween festivities by making appearances in costumes at the football game Saturday.

exas Tech football fans filled Jones AT&T Stadium on Saturday to watch the Red Raiders take on Oklahoma State, and a variety of Halloween characters were spotted cheering on Tech.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury invited students to participate in a costume contest during Saturday’s game for the second year, and students dressed up as many different characters including Mario and Luigi from “Super Mario Bros,” the Joker from “Batman,” a variety of animals and food items and Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett.

This year, Tech University System Chancellor Robert Duncan, Chancellor Emeritus Kent Hance, Tech President M. Duane Nellis, Athletics Director Kirby Hocutt and Kingsbury sponsored six $4,500 student scholarships for the winners of the contest, according to the Tech Athletics website.

Athletics employees were watching for students in costumes at the

student gates of the stadium, according to the website, and they selected 18 students to go on the field during halftime to be judged for the contest.

The students were divided into six categories: male scary, female scary, male funny, female funny, male Tech themed and female Tech themed.

Gary McCrory, a senior human development and family studies major from DeSoto, dressed up as the Tinder app and was selected as one of the three finalists for the male funny category.

“I think (my costume) was really funny,” he said. “I think other college students will think it’s hilarious. It’s basically like my Tinder profile.”

The winner of the male funny category was a student dressed like Hulk Hogan, and the other contestant in the category besides McCrory was a giraffe.

The female funny category contestants were a hamburger, an alien and a Starbucks coffee cup, and the girl dressed like Starbucks won.

“I didn’t expect to get to go down on the field, I just did it for the fun of it,” McCrory said. “I think it’s cool that

Tech did something for Halloween.”

The male scary contestants were the Joker and Two-Face from “Batman” as well as Jack Skellington from “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” and the Joker won.

The female scary contestants were the Joker, Bellatrix Lestrange from “Harry Potter” and a zombie nurse, and the zombie nurse won.

Jesse Rincones, a sophomore finance major from Lubbock, dressed up as a Lego Masked Rider and was selected as a finalist for the Tech themed category.

“I really wanted something that was going to be family-friendly that everyone could enjoy,” he said. “It was different. I love Tech and I love the Matador and Masked Rider, so I thought it would be a pretty cool idea.”

The other finalists in the Tech themed male category were dressed as Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes II and an ostrich-riding Masked Rider, and Rincones won the scholarship for the category.

For much of the 2015 season, the third quarter has been overwhelmingly the best quarter for the Texas Tech football team.

On Saturday, however, the third quarter did not go as planned for the Red Raiders as No. 12 Oklahoma State outscored them 14-0 and took the lead in the game for the first time.

The struggles from the third quarter carried over into the fourth as the Cowboys again won the quarter by a score of 28-15.

After the game, coach Kliff Kingsbury said Tech’s defense gave the offense a chance to pull away in the second half, but the players did not take advantage of it.

“You’ve got to give (Oklahoma State) credit. They came out and played a great second half,” he

said. “We had opportunities in that third quarter, I thought, offensively and sputtered a little bit.

Missed some things and they took advantage of it.”

To begin the second half, the Red Raider defense held the Cowboys to no points on their first two drives. The defense even stopped Oklahoma State after a failed Tech punt gave them a starting field advantage.

After both teams were stopped on each of their two drives, Tech punted for the second time in the third quarter and it was returned 67 yards for a touchdown, bringing the Cowboys within three points of the Red Raiders.

After the punt return for a touchdown, the Red Raider defense got another stop, but the offense was unable to get any points on its next two drives.

Bayer Plant Science building opens

By SHASHIDHAR SASTRY Staff Writer

The Bayer Plant Science building, which was under construction for the past year, was recently completed and the ribbon cutting hosted Friday. The $14.3 million facility was uniquely built to enhance the learning experience and research opportunities for students in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.

More than 21,000 square feet in area, the Bayer Plant Science building comprises teaching and open-research labs, conference rooms, 11 faculty offices, 22 graduate student spaces and more.

Michael Molina, Tech vice chancellor for facilities planning and construction, said the building was specifically designed with the educational needs of Plant and Soil Science students in mind. The courtyard, too, was constructed to serve as an outdoor learning space for students.

“It truly is a glorious day as we celebrate this special

occasion for Texas Tech University and the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources,” Tech President M. Duane Nellis said. “And this building, the new Plant Science building, is truly a reflection of the state-of-the-art facility that’s going to continue to lead us forward on so many fronts.”

Tech’s Public Art Program funds the university’s public artworks through 1 percent of total construction cost of all major projects.

The artwork chosen for the Bayer Plant Science building is a Texas sandstone sculpture that incorporates bronze elements and is titled, “Rain Stones.”

Rebecca Thompson, artist and sculptor of “Rain Stones,” said the artwork draws its inspiration from the message of sustainability and conservation. When it rains, the art piece’s bronze waterway directs rainwater to the nearby plants and trees.

“We wanted to capture in a very subtle way somet h i n g t h a t ’s t i m e l e s s , ” Thompson said.

ELECTION

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Proposition 3 would repeal a constitutional requirement that officials elected by a statewide vote must live in Austin.

The requirement is no longer necessary because of modern transportation and telecommunications, according to the Voters Guide, but opponents argue statewide officeholders should be physically present to handle important business.

Proposition 4 would allow professional sports teams’ charitable foundations to conduct charitable raffles.

Sports teams would be able to conduct charitable raffles at home games without creating new forms of gambling, according to the Voters Guide, while opponents argue allowing more exceptions to the state ban on gambling could be a slippery slope.

Proposition 5 would change a previously adopted amendment, which allows counties with fewer than 5,000 residents to conduct private road construction and maintenance, and allow counties with 7,500 residents or less to do so, according to the Voters Guide.

Proponents argue this is necessary because private contractors can be hard to find in rural counties, and allowing the county to perform road construction and maintenance will improve road conditions.

Opponents argue improved property would increase the taxable value of the property and that improved roads would increase traffic and vehicle speed.

Proposition 6 would recognize the right of people to hunt, fish and harvest wildlife. Proponents argue some Texans feel the need to have their hunting and fishing rights protected, according to

contributor for the project.

Bayer has had a longstanding partnership with Tech. Less than two months ago, another facility – Bayer CropScience Lubbock Seeds Innovation Center – was dedicated to Bayer for its contributions.

Tech University System Chancellor Robert Duncan said expansions such as the Bayer Plant Science building put Tech at the cutting edge of research, and the facility would not have happened without Bayer.

“The state of Texas does a good job of investing in higher education, probably as good as any other state in the country right now, but that doesn’t get us necessarily to the next level,” Duncan said. “At the end of the day, the way we get better, the way we exceed our competition in a country, nationally, is through philanthropy like this.”

Bayer contributed for the project primarily because of two reasons, Mike Gilbert, Bayer CropScience’s vice president for global breeding and trait development, said.

Bayer CropScience is fortunate to have Tech as a research collaboration partthe Voters Guide, while opponents contend there is no need for such an amendment because there are already laws in place protecting and regulating these rights.

The final amendment, Proposition 7, would dedicate part of the revenue from the state sales and use tax and the motor vehicle sales, use and rental tax to the state highway fund. The amendment will increase funding to transportation infrastructure, which proponents argue is badly needed as Texas continues to grow, according to the Voters Guide, while opponents contend it will take money away from other areas.

Dometrius said he does not see any of these amendments being particularly significant.

“Unlike some years, there isn’t a biggie on the ballot this time that will get everybody excited,” he said. “Most of these are a two or three on a 10-point scale in terms of significance.”

If people are not already registered to vote, they will not be able to vote in this election, Dometrius said, as registration takes place 30 days prior.

He said he expects turnout to be low, but most of the amendments will pass.

“Turnout’s probably going to be around 15 percent on the average for these amendments, I’m guessing,” he said. “Texas usually does a pretty good job of passing most of them.”

Voters will need to bring a photo ID to the polls, as required by Texas law, and acceptable forms of ID are a driver’s license, personal identification card, concealed handgun license, election identification certificate, passport, military identification card or a citizenship certificate with a photograph, according to the Voters Guide. @DailyToreador

Texas Tech administrators and donors partake in the official ribbon cutting for the new Bayer Plant Science building Friday afternoon. The $14.3 million facility has more than 21,000 square feet of teaching and research labs, conference rooms, faculty offices, graduate student spaces and more. ner, he said, and the new facility will prove useful in recruiting top faculty and students for industry.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was hosted inside the Bayer Plant Science building, and Lisa Calvert, vice chancellor for institutional advancement at Tech, served as the master of the ceremo-

ny. Other attendees at the event included foundation members, donors, students, faculty and interested community members.

Michael Galyean, dean of CASNR, said he envisioned the future building during the groundbreaking ceremony last year and visited the construction site almost

each day since.

“This is a whole much better than I have ever envisioned. It is really a wonderful facility, and we are so proud of it,” Galyean said.

“For all of us in the college, this building is a symbol of bright things and good future to come.” @SastryShashi_DT

Having a costume contest made the football game more fun, and Rincones said he enjoyed seeing students dress up.

“I think it makes a big difference in the atmosphere, especially when we can’t get a seven o’clock game or a night game during the season,” he said. “That’s really disappointing, but when you get to come out here and have the kind of atmosphere that we have and everybody comes out in costumes, everybody just has a really good time. I love Tech.”

Last semester, I worked two jobs to pay for school.

I’m paying my way through school right now trying not to take out any loans.

For the school to give out scholarships of that amount for a costume is really great and I really appreciate it.

Red Raiders support Stillwater community

By JENNIFER ROMERO L a Vida Editor

The atmosphere at Jones AT&T Stadium on Saturday for the Texas Tech football game was filled with the usual fan excitement, but Red Raiders also expressed sympathy to the visiting Oklahoma State Cowboys during the game.

On Oct. 24, Adacia Chambers, a 25-year-old resident of Stillwater, Oklahoma, drove into the crowd gathered to watch the OSU homecoming parade, according to an Oct. 25 Associated Press article.

Four people were killed in the crash, seven were listed as being in critical condition, nine were in serious condition and 17 others checked themselves into hospitals, according to an Oct. 26 AP article.

The Tech community expressed its sympathy for the OSU community after the news spread, and Hector Aguirre, a junior landscape architecture major from Lubbock and Tech Activities Board’s

Homecoming coordinator, said TAB wanted to have the Tech community show support during the football game as well. “(OSU) is basically our sister school,” he said. “It was during their Homecoming week. An event like that could happen anywhere, and we were really fortunate that we were able to make it through homecoming week safely.”

TAB designed stickers within two or three days last week to have them ready to hand out at the OSU game, Aguirre said, and the staff voted on the black sticker with an orange ribbon and “Red Raiders Support” and “#Stillwater Strong” written on it.

Jon Mark Bernal, associate director of TAB, designed the sticker, Aguirre said, and the TAB staff was happy the ribbons got made so quickly.

“Handing them out, so many people already knew what they were,” Aguirre said. “People were really thankful that we were doing it. A lot of students were excited, and even a lot of the

OSU fans who were here for the game were really thankful for it.”

TAB gave stickers to various student groups like the Goin’ Band before the game, Aguirre said, and members handed out 8,000 stickers to fans at different gates of the stadium as they walked in.

Lauren Hamilton, an agricultural economics graduate student from Shepherd, said she liked the idea of showing support for the OSU tragedy.

“I think the ribbons came out nice,” she said. “You never want to see something like that happen to any school, even if you’re rivals.”

Before the game, there was also a moment of silence for the members of the Stillwater community, and the OSU band played its alma mater immediately after.

Originally the Red Raiders Support stickers referenced OSU specifically, but Aguirre said TAB changed the design to encompass the entire Stillwater community.

“We want to support

them, but we also want to support our team for the game,” he said. “We did ‘#StillwaterStrong’ so we’re supporting the community.

I think students were supportive of it, and I think fans were a little more respective (of the OSU team).”

Chambers was arrested after the crash and charged with driving while under the influence, according to the AP article, and she is facing second-degree murder charges based on authorities saying the crash was intentional. Her next hearing is scheduled for Nov. 13.

TAB is happy the Tech community united to support the Stillwater community, Aguirre said, and the stickers were a small but appreciated way to do so.

“We wanted to show support from a Homecoming committee to a Homecoming committee, from staff to staff and community to community,” he said. “We wanted to show support in that way.” @JenRomeroDT

Cooking competition winners discuss background, goals

By RYAN ORTEGON Staff WritEr

Two groups, one in an amateur division and one in a pro division, were selected as winners in the Broadway and Gourmet on Avenue J cooking competition on Oct. 18.

The competition took place on Avenue J in the Arts District near the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts. The event featured several Broadway performances put on by local performers and an outdoor appetizer cooking competition.

The competition consisted of teams, made up of no more than four people, and they were challenged to create an appetizer that would be better than the others.

The appetizers were to be made in quantities of 200 for people at the event to try.

A catch to the competition was all the appetizers had to include a secret ingredient that was sponsored

by Ben E. Keith. This year’s secret ingredient was Ancho chile peppers.

The amateur division of the competition included Texas Tech restaurant hotel and institution management students, and the professional division was for local restaurants and venues.

The amateur division winners were Natalie Rock, Rian Morgan, Lauren Wallis and Aaron Castillo, all seniors in the RHIM program.

The group had participated in the competition last year, and when they heard it was going on again this year they all met and decided to do it again.

The group members are a part of the RHIM Association, which is a student-run organization that is exclusive to RHIM majors and minors, so they said one reason they did this competition was to help

get their names out there.

The team cooked CrockPot ancho chile white chicken chili, which was their take on a Pinterest-inspired recipe.

Rian Morgan said the group soaked the chile in cream cheese to give it a creamy texture.

“We put like corn in it, chicken, shredded ancho chilies, onions, chicken broth, garlic, cumin, chili powder, onion powder,” Rock said.

The team said they had made enough chili to feed almost 400 people, and they went to all their friends to find 13 CrockPots to make enough.

Rock said they used their own methods to make the recipe work the way they wanted it to. “(The recipe) called for 68 hours on,” she said. “We only had about four hours, so we cooked them on high for four hours and kind of just made it work.”

The team said they did

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sanders spends $2 million on advertising campaign WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders launched his first television ads in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire on Sunday, pouring $2 million into an ad buy that casts his campaign as a sharp break with the status-quo.

The ads give voters a fuller look at the Vermont independent senator’s biography, as a longtime fighter against injustice and inequality, his humble upbringing in Brooklyn, New York, and his attendance at Dr. Martin Luther King’s March on Wash-

ington in 1963. There’s also his work as mayor of Burlington, Vermont, in Congress and his pledge to take “on Wall Street and a corrupt political system.”

The ad, entitled “Real Change,” mentions the 1 million contributors to his campaign and shows footage of his large rallies around the nation. The tag line of the ad calls him, “An honest leader — building a movement with you, to give us a future to believe in,” calling to mind President Barack Obama’s 2008 slogan of “Change We Can Believe In.”

not taste the chili before they had to present it because they needed the chicken to cook as long as it could. All the cooking was done at a team member’s house.

They said they started prepping all the food the Saturday night before the competition and then on Sun-

day morning they just cooked.

Aaron Castillo, who was at the competition serving the chili, said it was popular with the people trying it.

“People would actually come up to us and be like, ‘Y’all’s is a lot better than like the professionals,’” he said.

The team said they were

honored to have won and they now look forward to their next endeavor, which is Restaurant Wars, a competition within the dinner series in which students will have to come up with the restaurant, the menu and everything else needed for the business.

The winner of the professional division was the team from North Catering Company, which consisted of Joan Isett, the owner, Sara North, the chef, and Nate Thomas, the sous chef.

North Catering Company is a company Isett and North created two years ago and is located out of Stone Gate Golf Course, and the pair plans to open their own restaurant.

Isett said this competition has helped North Catering get its name out to the community, and the company has won the competition for two years in a row.

Isett said in the competition, the team members always try to do something unique with the secret ingredient that fits the street fest theme.

This year with the ancho

chile peppers as the secret ingredient, the team made ancho chile chicken empanadas. The chef put the ancho chiles into the dough for the empanadas and they were topped with a southwestern tequila sauce.

“There are always people that have heard the name, but have never been able to put a face with the name,” she said.

“The neat thing about this is that you don’t always get to see the people that are behind the food at caterings.”

Isett said it took the team a total of about six hours to complete the dish and then take it over to the competition.

Isett said her company’s goal right now is not so much to expand but to learn more about themselves as a company and to improve overall.

No one should be afraid to start his or her own restaurant or business, she said, and one relationship an owner makes with a customer will transfer along to many other people and these relationships are important. @DailyToreador

Tech stolen flags show increased need Religious freedom for maturity in diverse environment must be protected

L

ast Monday morning, when members of the Gay-Straight Alliance organization on the Texas Tech campus made their way to their cubicle to achieve their weekly required hours, they were greeted with remnants of a possible leftover hate crime. Two of their flags, which they use to symbolize diversity, love and equality, were presumably stolen.

However, there does not seem to be a burning desire to find the perpetrators and end hateful crimes like this on campus. Among the Tech students I talked to, students were opposed to the victim’s campaign or indifferent to the incident altogether. This action is incredibly hurtful. As students, we should strive to eliminate this passive and merciless reputation.

It is no secret some students at Tech have not been openly welcoming toward the student Gay-Straight Alliance organization. Over the years, the organization has struggled against harassment they have faced on campus in a similar way members of their national organization have faced in

the U.S. These students put themselves on the line every day by identifying as queer or as an ally in the predominately conservative culture of Lubbock.

Despite these difficulties, these students have created a safe zone for those who, most likely, would not feel as safe being by themselves in such a critical environment.

Their organization is not aimed at putting down others but to uplift themselves and their differences. Just as Tech shines scarlet red, so do most of its students’ political views.

There is an attitude on campus that encourages students to be completely polarized in many debates.

Because of this, there is a constant tension of disagreement on campus regarding popular politics.

It is not a rare sight to witness both the campus Republican and Democrat organizations debating each other outside the Student Union Building.

This form of debate cannot continue any longer on campus. The treatment of the GSA must improve dramatically for students to gain any sort of empathetic points back. Tech already requires multicultural credits for graduation, but it should also implicate a policy of joining one multicultural student organization for at least one semester.

There is a large amount of wisdom students can gain from their fellow students they cannot learn from their professors. In these multicultural organizations, students will be able to delve into the lives and hardships of students who are different in one way or another.

Hopefully, by doing this, Tech students who would not otherwise join these organizations will come into contact with students who differ from their social norms. A semester in the Gay-Straight Alliance organization could alter the decision of the culprit(s) to steal and disgrace the organization’s flags as they might finally be seeing them as people rather than

“the enemy.”

On Tech’s campus, it should be acceptable, desirable even, to have differing opinions and spark debates.

However, there are civil ways to go about expressing these differences. Yet, because students are not inclined to have civil, constructive debates, we tend to go for the theatrics.

By taking multicultural courses or joining multicultural organizations, cultural knowledge and self-awareness will become desirable words to put on our resumes.

These student-led organizations, which already feel like they’re the minority, will become more empowered and successful on campus.

The negative incidents Tech students are responsible for will appear less and less in the news while the positive impacts Tech students make in their community will appear more and more. This change relies on our ability to put our differences behind us, and find common ground with one another to create a civil and open environment on campus. opinions@dailytoreador.com

Students must remember real meaning behind No Shave November, Movember

N

o Shave November has finally arrived, or is it Movember?

These two campaigns are often used synonymously, even though they are not the same thing. One advocates for cancer awareness in men while the other has evolved into an uninformed bandwagon.

Movember refers to the idea brought to life by two friends in Australia around 2003, according to movember.com. The idea was to grow mustaches during the month of November to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer.

Because a perfect mustache is difficult to achieve, the hairy monstrosities would help spark a conversation that desperately needs to be had. The question, “Why are you growing that hideous mustache?” was the open invitation to start a conversation about cancer specific to men.

More recently, No Shave November was created and, according to its official website, no-shave.org, is about “growing cancer awareness and raising funds to support cancer prevention, research, and education.”

At first glance, this

sounds like a noteworthy cause. However, I would urge students to try and find a paragraph on men’s health anywhere on its website.

Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

According to guidelines on the No Shave November website, men can grow beards instead of mustaches, women can stop shaving their legs and we can all embrace our hair in remembrance of the cancer patients who lose theirs because of demanding treatments.

On the surface this seems to support a great idea, but at the same time it forfeits a great opportunity entirely.

Most students can agree cancer awareness, charity donation and raising funds for good causes are obviously good. However, the focus on men’s cancer awareness is severely lacking. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is full of fundraisers, news coverage and everyone congratulating women for being so strong.

What happens in November? Men have contests to see who can grow a manlier

beard, and women show off their hairy legs. Sure, it gets the conversation started about cancer, maybe, but it seems the focus is taken off men a little more each year. Men are indeed growing mustaches and beards in November, but they have no idea why. No Shave November? Something about cancer, I heard.

Breast cancer research receives almost twice the funding that prostate cancer does, according to a Bloomberg article titled, “A Gender Gap in Cancer,” all while little pink ribbons magnetically attach themselves to our cars. Sure, there is such a thing as a testicular cancer awareness ribbon (it’s purple by the way), as well as one for prostate cancer awareness (light blue), but these ribbons are rare among the ocean of pink. It is sad men’s health issues do not receive near as much attention, merely because of gender.

The issue here is not one of importance, but of exposure. According to the Bloomberg article, a study conducted between 1996 and 2006 found there were almost three times as many stories regarding breast

cancer than prostate cancer. The media and socialnetworking sites may bring up the issue once or twice in November, but more likely, the topic will only be about beards.

Now, don’t get me wrong, breast cancer awareness is an important issue that needs to be addressed. I personally have several family members who have fought that battle and, fortunately, are still here to celebrate that victory. However, all too often the pink ribbon shadows over issues that affect us all.

However, if students decide call it No Shave November, it is important they understand why they are growing that beard or why not shaving those legs.

Students should talk to all the manly men in their lives and encourage them to have a talk with their doctor, the sooner the better.

Many of our brothers, fathers, grandfathers and sons are at risk of dying slow and painful deaths. These people are worth the hassle of putting the purple and light blue ribbons in the spotlight, even if only for a month. opinions@dailytoreador.com

ot only as a Christian, but as a general believer in something bigger than myself, reading and hearing about religious discrimination hits close to home. Last Friday, an assistant football coach was booted for praying during the games.

Coach Joe Kennedy was “booted from the locker room at Bremerton High S c h o o l i n Wa s h i n g t o n State,” according to Fox News’ article “High school boots praying football coach” by Todd Starnes.

Kennedy was placed on administrative leave after refusing to stop his postgame prayers.

Kennedy is being represented by Liberty Institute, “the nation’s largest law firm dedicated to defending religious liberty,” according to the Fox News’ article. His attorney, Hiram Sasser, states the school district is “sending the message to all people of faith that they are not welcome.”

Sasser also said the school officials refused to meet with him and that he only spoke with their lawyer for half an hour, according to the article. It seems obvious the officials are avoiding Sasser and Coach Kennedy, which can lead to a questionable prosecution of how serious they are taking this matter.

I understand a lot of different people have different religious beliefs, which makes religious jurisdiction such a sensitive subject.

After all, everyone has the right to believe what he or she wants.

H o w e v e r, K e n n e d y wasn’t leading a huge prayer organization during the football games.

He was simply praying after them.

According to Seattle Times’ article “Bremerton coach’s prayers catch attention of Congress,” Kennedy prayed by himself at first, but a few other coaches, some players and even fans eventually joined him. He wasn’t telling people to pray with him and he wasn’t making others feel bad for not praying with him. All the praying was voluntary.

According to the Fox News article, “Liberty Institute has already laid the groundwork for a lawsuit against the school

district – accusing them of religious discrimination.”

Sasser said the school district is being “hostile towards Christianity.”

Leading schoolwide prayers have already been banned, including football games, and have been replaced with a moment for silence. Kennedy wasn’t performing this schoolwide prayer.

He was only praying amongst himself and any others who wanted to join.

He wasn’t forcing his beliefs upon anyone.

When the U.S. was founded, it was considered taboo to not believe in anything. Times have changed, and it has become obvious the U.S. has people with a wide array of religious beliefs.

Because of this, the most controversial debates in religion always seem to be about Christians “forcing their beliefs upon others.”

However, in this situation, this is not the case at all. According to Gallup’s poll in the article “In U.S., 77% Identify as Christians,” by Frank Newport, 77 percent of the adult population identified with a Christian religion in 2011.

It seems to me Christianity is being prosecuted for being the majority. I would never try to make anyone feel inferior or single them out for not believing what I do. However, the argument of “Stop forcing your religion on us,” is starting to sound a lot like “Stop believing in your religion because I don’t believe in that.”

An important part in the U.S. laws is to create an offense-free atmosphere, so everyone can get along as free citizens.

The majority of people in the U.S. are Christians, therefore I can understand the feeling of being overpowered or forgotten, but that’s not how it is.

The U.S. is a safe and free place for all religions and beliefs, and it is a principle that must be protected, even in events as small as high school football games. emartinez@dailytoreador.com

Five takeaways from loss to OSU T

he Texas Tech football team seemed to have turned a corner in the first quarter of Saturday’s game against Oklahoma State, but the second half woes that caused Tech to lose 70-53 show this Red Raider team still has some work to do.

1. Second-half Tech was a different team After jumping out to a 17-0 lead, Tech was outscored 42-15 in the second half. The Red Raiders also won the turnover battle in the first half, but they committed three turnovers in the second half while forcing none. Oklahoma State also rushed for nearly 140 yards in the second half after being held to 48 in the first half.

Jeremy Krakosky is a senior dual marketing and management major from Red Oak.

Whether the Cowboys made halftime adjustments or the Red Raiders collapsed under pressure, all three phases of the game were completely different after halftime.

2. Grant carried the team Senior wide receiver Jakeem Grant racked up 323 all-purpose yards on Saturday, which ranks as the fourth most ever in a single game in school history, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Grant electrified the crowd

with a 90-yard catch and run where he reserved the field twice and broke numerous tackles.

For the second time this season, the Red Raiders have lost a home game that was close in the fourth quarter against an undefeated team.

Once the Cowboys got their first score of the game, Grant brought the crowd to its feet again with a 100-yard kickoff return, the fourth of his career. He led receivers with 178 yards and another touchdown on 13 catches,

according to the release. Only one other Tech receiver had more than four catches.

3. Mahomes didn’t take care of the ball when it mattered most Sophomore quarterback Patrick Mahomes II threw for 480 yards and added 54 yards on the ground with five total touchdowns. He did not turn the ball over until there was just more than 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. In the final 11 minutes of the game, Mahomes turned the ball over three times with two interceptions and a lost fumble.

The sack-fumble effectively ended the game for the Red Raiders. The second interception was returned for a touchdown with six second left in the

game. Mahomes now has 12 picks on the season.

4. Defense improved against the run The Tech defense allowed 184 yards on the ground, almost 100 yards less than the 282 they came into the game allowing. The run defense was especially good in the first half as the Cowboys were limited to 48 yards on 18 attempts.

S e n i o r b a c k u p q u a rterback J.W. Walsh found holes in the defense in the second half. Walsh burned the defense in the fourth quarter with a 64-yard run out of the middle followed by a one-yard touchdown.

Despite allowing more plays in the second half, the run defense showed dramatic improvement in

the first half.

5. Red Raiders have let games slip away but have lost to great teams For the second time this season, the Red Raiders have lost a home game that was close in the fourth quarter against an undefeated team. While this game did not end up as close as the last-second loss to No. 5 Texas Christian, the game was still a one-possession game with about four minutes left in the fourth quarter.

With three losses against undefeated teams and the fourth loss to a one-loss team, the Red Raiders are now on the downhill part of their schedule. @JeremyK_DT

Key players lead team’s fast start

T

he past two weeks, the Texas Tech football team has struggled, which coach Kliff Kingsbury said stemmed from a slow start in the games. Although the Red Raiders still lost 70-53 to Oklahoma State on Saturday, they were able to start fast thanks in part to a couple key players.

Defensive: Dakota Allen Redshirt freshman Dakota Allen played with effort this week in Tech’s loss against the No. 12 Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Allen had five tackles on the day and one interception early on before Tech would stop executing on offense.

He was in on tackles and was pumping up the crowd on third downs, although

Brandon Soliz is a sophomore journalism major from Big Spring.

the Cowboys seemed to have no trouble converting.

Allen and the defense did play better than they have before, getting three straight stops.

Teams have ran the ball down the throat of the Tech defense, so it was no surprise when Oklahoma State attempted to run the ball early.

However, the Red Raiders held the Cowboys to 48 rushing yards in the first half but gave up yards through the air.

Tech is statistically one

of the worst defenses in the country, but the team shows some improvement, especially by young players like Allen.

The Tech defense is not near where defensive coordinator David Gibbs wants it to be, but eventually, the young guys will help lead this defense to success.

Offensive and Special teams: Jakeem Grant Senior receiver Jakeem Grant had an explosive outing for the Red Raiders in the loss.

Showing up on the national stage, Grant finished with a total of 323 all-purpose yards, which is fourth on the all-time Tech list. He was 24 yards away from breaking the record.

Grant showed off not only his speed, but also his

Hoyer’s TD passes help Texans top Titans 20-6 HOUSTON (AP) — Houston coach Bill O’Brien knows Sunday wasn’t a great game by the Texans.

Still, after what happened last week, the coach was perfectly content with the performance since it led to a victory.

“We had to get the win,” O’Brien said. “It wasn’t pretty.

But who cares? It’s a win.”

Brian Hoyer threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns

and Houston tied a franchise record with seven sacks to help the Texans to a 20-6 win over the mistake-prone Tennessee Titans.

The Texans rebounded from an embarrassing 44-26 loss to the Dolphins despite playing without Arian Foster, who suffered a seasonending Achilles tendon injury in that game. The win leaves them second in the

AFC South and they could be tied for the division lead if the Colts lose to the Panthers on Monday night.

“I think that gets overlooked a little bit,” linebacker Brian Cushing said. “We’re still in it.”

A 21-yard touchdown reception by DeAndre Hopkins put Houston on top in the second quarter and the Texans (3-5) didn’t trail after that.

Nate Washington’s 42-yard TD catch extended the lead to 17-6 in the third.

Zach Mettenberger threw for 171 yards with an interception in his second straight start in place of rookie Marcus Mariota, who is out with a knee injury. Mettenberger was hurried and harassed all day to remain winless in eight career starts, with three against the Texans.

Grant shines in 70-53 loss to No. 12 OSU

By BRANDON SOLIZ Staff Writer

Texas Tech senior wide receiver Jakeem Grant showed the nation how fast he is Saturday, in what ended as a 70-53 loss to No. 12 Oklahoma State.

Grant had an explosive play five minutes into the game that resulted in a 90-yard catch and run from sophomore quarterback Patrick Mahomes II. Grant made defenders miss and escaped the defense all the way down to the Oklahoma State seven-yard line.

Despite his efforts, Grant did not score the touchdown, but he did return a kickoff for 100 yards later in the quarter for his first score of the game.

The return boosted his total yardage mark to 210 during the first quarter alone.

Grant now has four touchdown returns in his career and is first in touchdown returns in school history, and Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said he gave a gutsy performance in the game.

“He played tough,” Kingsbury said. “He’s been great for us all year and he keeps going, keeps grinding, so proud of his effort.”

After his return for a touchdown, Oklahoma State tried to avoid kicking it in Grant’s direction for the rest of the game.

In the second quarter, Mahomes would connect with Grant for a 12-yard touchdown that gave Tech a 31-14 lead over the Cowboys — a team the senior wide receiver has never gotten a win against.

“This is my last go around, and I won’t ever be able to play those guys again,” Grant said, “so it tears me up.”

Grant finished with a total of 323 all-purpose yards, which was good for fourth on the Tech all-time school record for most total yards in a game.

178 of those yards came on receiving plays.

Texas Tech wide receiver Jakeem Grant returns a kickoff for a touchdown in the first half of Tech’s 70-53 loss to Oklahoma State on Oct. 31 at Jones AT&T Stadium. Grant had 210 all-purpose yards in the first quarter alone. for any player in the country.

Grant said he does not care too much about stats as long as his team wins, and the Red Raiders failed to do so.

“The win is what I really want,” Grant said. “I don’t care

if I have zero yards and we win, so I can have 400 yards all purpose, and we lose, and it really doesn’t mean nothing to me because we didn’t get the win at the end of the day.”

The loss is the second time

that Tech has scored more than 50 points in a game and still come away with a loss this season.

The Red Raiders need one more win to be bowl eligible with three games remaining

on the season.

VOLLEYBALL

Tech swept in three straight sets by nationally ranked Texas Longhorns

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

The Texas Tech volley-

ball team battled against the No. 2 Texas Longhorns in a 3-0 defeat Friday night in the United

Supermarkets Arena.

Service errors plagued the Texas offense at the start of the first set as it

committed five errors once it reached the 15-point mark.

The services errors, however, did not come back to haunt the Longhorns at the end of the set.

A direct spike at the Longhorn’s libero from sophomore outside hitter Alyssa Ybanez lifted the energy of the Tech offense and cut the Longhorn lead to 17-16, but Texas outscored the Red Raiders 8-3 to seal the first set.

Tech coach Don Flora said Texas’ outside hitters shook the Red Raider defense as it functioned efficiently throughout each set.

“If you look at their outside hitters versus our outside hitters, the numbers were not equal,” Flora said.

“We got to be equal or better than the other team’s outsides, and I think that’s a continued area of growth and development for us.”

Texas led off the second set with a strong start by outscoring the Red Raiders 7-2, forcing a Tech timeout.

The Longhorns continued to lead Tech throughout the set and forced the home side to call another timeout once it grabbed a 19-11 lead off an attacking error.

Senior outside hitter Jenna Allen said the Longhorns’ early runs placed the team in a comfortable spot and held Tech back when it wanted to overtake the Longhorns.

“It’s really hard to come b a c k i f y o u d o n ’t s t a r t strong,” Allen said. “They just play solid and we’re making mistakes, and it’s really hard to come back for that. So that’s something we can work on, we have to start strong.”

Off its second timeout, Tech went on a 3-0 run

Victoria Hinneburg, a sophomore right side from Leipzig, Germany, and Katy Keenan, a freshman middle blocker from Argyle, block a spike from the opposing team at the Texas Tech volleyball game Friday night at the United Supermarkets Arena. Tech lost to Texas in three sets. sparked by a kill from redshirt sophomore outside hitter Victoria Hinneburg.

The 3-0 run cut the Longhorn lead to 19-15, but Texas called a timeout to loosen Tech’s momentum.

The Longhorns broke the Tech run with a kill before taking 2-0 lead in the match with a 25-18 second set win.

At the start of the third set, the Texas offense rolled onto another solid start by taking an early 9-3 lead over the Red Raiders.

In a similar fashion to the second set, the Longhorns halted Tech’s momentum from building and took advantage of its strong start.

Junior setter Marguerite Grubb cut the Longhorn lead to 14-19 with a high sailing ball right at backcourt line.

Texas, however, continued to blast the ball into Tech’s side of the court to rack up its kill numbers for a match total of 42 kills.

As the Longhorns surpassed the 40-kill mark, Flora said a reduction of

Tech attack errors could have flipped the buildup of the Texas offense.

“I thought if we could just slow one or two of those kills and if we can turn one of our swings into kills, we had just had a couple too many attack errors,” Flora said. “If we can take a couple of those swings and put pressure on them, then they’re not going to get as good of swings.”

On the defensive side, the Longhorn defense troubled Tech’s offense throughout the match by keeping the Red Raiders from extending their offensive runs and forcing a total of 24 attacking errors compared to 10 for Texas.

Freshman middle blocker Katy Keenan recorded a team high of eight kills and Grubb led the team in assists with 22.

played hard,” Kingsbury said. “Kept giving us the ball back with opportunities to go up 17 multiple times and we didn’t get it done offensively.”

Mahomes’ production was slowed in the third quarter as he threw for 79 out of his 480 yards with no touchdowns.

After going up 17-0 at the beginning of the game and holding a 10-point lead at halftime, senior wide receiver Jakeem Grant said the team was not as focused in the second half as a result of feeling like they had already

won the game.

“We thought we had the game won on offense, and we thought that we could just ease up a little bit,” he said. “But we’ve got to keep our foot on the gas pedal and finish the game.”

While all three phases of the game dropped off the third quarter, the Red Raiders still put up 53 points on the top-ranked defense in the Big 12 Conference. Tech’s 53 points are the most ever in a losing effort, according to a Tech Athletics news release.
