Lubbock’s cold weather to last throughout week The cold front that moved into Lubbock Monday will be gone before this week is over, according to the National Weather Service website.

Lubbock’s cold weather that began Monday night will continue throughout the week, according to the National Weather Service website.

Today, Lubbock can expect cloudy skies through mid-morning with a high near 60 degrees, according to the website, and there will be calm winds at about 5 miles per hour and a low of 38 degrees.

As the week progresses, afternoons will get warmer, with the weekend and Monday having highs in the upper 60s.

According to the website, the rest of the week and early next week should have clear skies.

Lubbock will experience nights with lows in the upper 30s and mid-40s the rest of the week and early next week, according to the Lubbock National Weather Service website.

Some students are enjoying the cold weather and hope it remains.

“I like it because it’s not cold where I’m from,” Savannah Rendon, a freshman exercise and sport sciences major from McAllen, said, “so this is beautiful compared to home.” ➤➤kbarton@dailytoreador.com

West Texas leader post urges Army readiness FORT BLISS (AP) — The new commander of Fort Bliss says the world is a complicated place with multiple threats to the nation’s security, so the Army must be prepared for any mission it’s called on to pursue.

Maj. Gen. Stephen M. Twitty, who took command of Fort Bliss and the 1st Armored Division in August, says his No. 1 focus is to make sure the division receives “tough and realistic” training and is prepared to deploy at a moment’s notice.

Since he took command, Fort Bliss was notified that more than 300 soldiers would be going to West Africa to help contain the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.

About 70 soldiers left a week ago in the advance party and another 250 are scheduled to leave in mid-November.

The mission is an example of why soldiers at Fort Bliss need to be ready to deploy on short notice, said Twitty, who’s in his third tour at the installation.

During the past decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, Army units would typically be notified a year in advance that they would be deploying and then they would do a train-up leading to that overseas assignment, Twitty said.

“We have gotten rid of that mindset; we are going expeditionary,” he told the El Paso Times.

PoliTech, a nonpartisan student organization recently formed to increase students’ political awareness, has released a video that has received both positive and negative reviews.

The video showed students answering historical questions incorrectly, including who won the Civil War and who America got its independance from.

Raul Cevallos, a senior management information systems major from Dallas and PoliTech co-founder, said the video was meant to raise political awareness within the Texas Tech student body, as well as other universities.

“I think that the majority of people that are angry with the video don’t understand that this is a consensus nationwide,” he said. “We are confident that these students, if they had these questions in a written exam, they would have

most likely gotten them right. The video shows that these topics are not in the front of people’s minds right now and these videos show they’re not able to answer them quickly and when they are asked what CEVALLOS show is Snooki on then they know.”

In addition to the increased awareness, he said he wants students to discuss topics presented in the video and if they disagree with the way Tech was presented to speak out about the results.

Courtney Plunk, a sophomore journalism major from Rowlett and PoliTech co-founder, said the main thing she would change about the video is to film at many different locations on campus instead of just outside the Student Union building only.

“I guess even though the SUB is a very diverse area, but, I guess, with the feedback I’ve been getting you can’t judge a whole campus off of one area,” she said. “To reach out of that concern, PLUNK I guess different areas of the campus (could have been surveyed).”

Caroline Namazi, a senior energy commerce major from Plano, said when she started watching the video she thought it was funny, but by the end, her laughter turned to annoyance.

She knew all the answers to the questions asked, she said, and wished more students were included getting the answers right.

“All this video did was embarrass Texas Tech,” she said. “It put out a terrible public image of us. I’m sure everyone who watched it got

a good laugh of it but didn’t think further into the fact that those were just merely 10 students out of 30,000 plus students.”

The video had received 160,000 views as of Tuesday night, Cevallos said, and many people have reached out to the organization to join.

Hunter Schumann, a freshman agricultural communications major from Fredericksburg, said he thinks the producers should have included information that detailed how the video was edited, how many people were interviewed, if any other questions were asked and how each interviewed student was chosen.

Cevallos said 30 students were interviewed for the video and two students answered the questions correct. He also said the organization took less than an hour of footage and they did not edit it to only show the incorrect answers.

Directly past Avenue A in Lubbock there are a few abandoned buildings with tents set up around them. These buildings are part of an old cotton mill, and the tents are temporary housing for the homeless.

In 2011, the City of Lubbock moved the homeless away from Mahon Public Library, David Driskill, associate dean for external programs and associate professor and leader of Urban Tech at Texas Tech, said.

They then set up on a street corner after that, which is where the problem began, he said.

“Downtown is the de facto homeless shelter because that’s where all the serADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

vices are,” Driskill said.

Urban Tech is a department of the College of Architecture focused on the revitalizing of the downtown Lubbock community as a whole. They do this by hosting and participating in events such as Avenue J, Urban Stage and now the building of the homeless facility, according to the Urban Tech website.

“We’re involved in downtown development and you can’t redevelop with a problem like this,” Driskill said.

Link Ministries is the owner of the land the abandoned cotton mill is built upon.

The ministry approached Urban Tech and asked for their assistance, Driskill said. He and his team of grad uate students were more than willing to help, he said.

Watch parties react to election results Republicans celebrate election midterm victories Lubbock Democrat supporters remain optimistic Staff Writer

The smell of spicy chicken wings filled the room as Lubbock County Republicans gathered at the election watch party Tuesday night.

Dustin Burrows, Texas House of Representatives District 83 elect, said he was very optimistic about his chances at winning District 83.

The room came alive with cheers and clapping as the local news projected Burrows as winning with 84 percent of the vote.

“I am truly humbled, truly humbled,” Burrows said. “It’s such an honor to serve this district.”

As early results came in, the crowd of more than 90 people clapped as they focused their attention on the large TV at the front of the room.

“I’ve had incredible support from friends, family, volunteers, the grassroots — we have walked so many blocks, knocked on so many doors and I cannot thank the people who’ve stood beside me and helped me with this enough,” Burrows said. “I mean they’re really the people who’ve made this election possible.”

John Frullo, Texas State Representative of District 84, said he was excited about the early returns.

“I think the ballot box is the report card, it’s how people feel about you,” Frullo said. “When they vote and vote for you and put their confidence in you, it’s

Lubbock supporters for the Democratic Party gathered for an election results watch party Tuesday evening.

Lubbock County midterm election results showed the Republican candidates claimed the majority of the candidate spots. Republican United States Representative candidate and incumbent Randy Neugebauer reclaimed his seat and had a majority of the Lubbock County votes, according to The Texas Tribune.

Democratic candidate Neal Marchbanks came in second for the U.S representative seat, according to the results.

Cole Adams, a sophomore political science and global studies major from Lubbock and president of the Texas Tech Student Democrats, said he worked closely with Marchbanks to promote his campaign and the campaign of other candidates from the Democratic Party.

“I supported Neil Marchbanks because I know him personally, worked with Neil, spent time with Neil. He has a vision,” Adams said. “When we come down to local, we’re talking about university here, talking about minimum wage on a statewide level, just several other issues and that’s why I supported Neil.”

Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator candidate John Cornyn reclaimed his seat with the majority of votes, defeating out the Democratic candidate, David Alameel.

Urban Tech and the ministry teamed up with a few other groups to make up the High Cotton Core group, comprised of the leaders of organizations involved in making this plan into a reality.

Lubbock, vice president of the Tech Student Democrats and Hispanic team leader for Battleground Texas, said issues like abortion, health care and same-sex marriage resonated with Lubbock residents.

“Those were definitely some very important things that were brought up that we probably have the most issues with,” Rivera said.

For the position of governor, Republican candidate Greg Abbott took a majority of the votes with Democratic candidate Wendy Davis coming in second, according to The Texas Tribune.

Both Adams and Rivera said they saw Davis’ stance on public education as an important aspect of her campaign for governor.

“Coming down to refunding education, opening up more programs, Pre-K, just something that’s valuable to build-

but there will also be a therapeutic center for counseling which will offer help with job searches, he said.

“Every day, I get at least one call from a potential resident that I have to turn down because we’re at capacity and have a waiting list,” Les Burrus, Link Ministries director, said. “It’s a good sign that our services are helping people in the community, but it’s also a sign that it’s time to grow.”

Link Ministries is the main sponsor of the project and is currently in the process of raising funds. The funding process will continue until the organization has reached its goal, he said. Upon reaching the

goal, the facility will be built.

Billy Henley, a graduate student working on the project, also currently works with EV Studios, which is an architecture and engineering firm based in Colorado.

Henley said he worked with Burrus and Driskill to develop the initial concept of the homeless shelter for about and year and a half while getting his master’s here at Tech.

“It was a really great experience working with Les and the High Cotton Core group to develop this facility that will set a precedent for homelessness in the Panhandle,” he said.

Elections↵

according to The Texas Tribune.

Lubbock County has 158,685 registered voters, Kim Davis, spokesperson for Lubbock County Elections Office, said.

Election Day voter turnout for Lubbock County was 17,468, Davis said. The early voting total was 26,825 between Oct. 20 and Oct. 31.

It is at the local level where there will be some variation of Republican versus Democrat dominated races, she said.

Another factor that will determine which party wins local races is the level of urbanization, Jurado said. Urban areas such as Austin and Dallas will see more Democratic votes and more rural areas such as Lubbock will see more Republican votes.

Republican George P. Bush won land commissioner with the majority of the total votes, defeating Democrat John Cook.

“Republicans stick to true Christian conservative values, and there is no doubt that Republicans will win most of Texas,” Jurado said. “I am very excited to have Greg Abbott as our next governor. The future of Texas looks bright.”

Republicans gained control of the U.S. Senate in the General Election, taking it from the Democrats, according to The Texas Tribune.

“If this video was found to be edited or planned in such a way that the Tech students were made to appear altogether uninformed and ignorant, the producers and interviewer should be held accountable for this campus humiliation by false representation and apologize for inaccurately representing the Texas Tech student body,” Schumann said.

The purpose of this video, Plunk said, was intended only to raise awareness and not embarrass the students at Tech.

Cevallos said the video did what the organization intended it to do and he hopes to move on to more events in the future.

“A lot of my friends who watched the video knew the answers when they think about it and so it did exactly what we wanted it to do by raising the awareness and getting people to think about politics and questions like these,” Plunk said. “It did what we wanted it to do.”

Cole Adams, president of Tech Student Democrats, said he is excited to see the election results and has been involved in the election process locally.

“A lot of people have worked hard here locally and we’re all excited to see what the poll results are,” Adams said. “The Democratic Party has been working hard and the strong support will be channeled through votes.”

Republican Ken Paxton won attorney general with the majority of the total votes, defeating Democrat Sam Houston, according to The Texas Tribune.

Additionally, in Lubbock County, 47,933 registered voters placed their votes during early voting and Election Day. In Lubbock County, for Texas governor, Republican Greg Abbott received the majority of the total votes,

ing student education,” Adams said. “I think that’s one thing that interests me the most as well.”

Despite the election results of Lubbock County, Rivera said this year’s election results act as a catalyst for a rise in support of Democratic candidates.

“Education is the most important thing. Knowledge is the power of all,” Rivera said. “I felt like she stood strong and that was something that she fought for.”

He said he thought this was time for Democrats to make their mark and have an impact on Lubbock.

“Although we didn’t actually get everything we wanted,” Rivera said, “I definitely felt like we made an impact, and it’s nice to know that we rallied up an army of volunteers. We found supporters, and we found people that care.”

Texas Tech student reaches new heights

By LIANA SOLIS Staff Writer

There are many people who enjoy the adrenaline rush they feel when jumping out of a plane or even flying in one.

Ian Mohn, a junior international affairs major from Houston, takes his love of flight to a new level by participating in a sport known as BASE jumping.

BASE jumping, he said, is a sport similar to skydiving, but jumpers use surfaces lower to the ground to jump off.

“It stands for building, antenna, span and earth, which are the four things you have to jump off to consider yourself a BASE jumper,” Mohn said.

“Some BASE jumpers only like to jump off cliffs, and others like skyscrapers or buildings.”

Jumpers have a pack holding a parachute, he said, similar to the pack a skydiver has when jumping off an airplane.

Mohn said the only difference between the two packs is BASE jumpers only have one parachute, compared to skydivers’ two parachutes.

“If anything goes wrong with a skydiver’s parachute, they have the backup chute to rely on,” he said. “If anything goes wrong with a BASE jumper’s chute,

whether it be you packed it wrong or something is jammed, then you’re dead.”

BASE jumping is a deadly sport and has a 40 percent fatality rate for all jumpers, Mohn said. Most jumpers die within the first two years of being in the sport.

There are only 23,000 licensed BASE jumpers worldwide, he said, and BASE jumpers always start with skydiving first.

“BASE jumpers get their skills based on the basic skills they use in skydiving,” Mohn said. “The more experience you have, the more likely you are to survive in BASE jumping.”

According to the BASE jumper website, it is recommended that skydivers jump at least 200 times before considering starting to BASE jump.

Alicia Hound, a sophomore education major from Stephenville, has been skydiving several times before and said BASE jumping is much more dangerous.

“When you skydive, especially if you are a beginner, you usually have another person with you to help you in case something goes wrong,” Hound said. “You can’t do that with BASE jumping and you are just kind of on your own if you mess

something up.”

Mohn has been BASE jumping in countries all over the world, he said, including Switzerland, Norway, New Zealand and Italy.

He said two of the main BASE jumping capitols are Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland, and Kjerag, Norway.

“Most of the people who go there are really advanced and experienced,” Mohn said. “Plus it is legal pretty much everywhere there.”

There are many legality issues that go along with BASE jumping as well, he said.

In Texas, Mohn said, the main issue is being charged with trespassing on others’ land.

“You can go to the landowners and get their permission to jump on their land, but most jumpers don’t want to go through that process,” he said. “It is also a huge liability issue for the landowners if someone were to die on their land while jumping.”

The only place in the United States where it is legal to jump year-round is the Snake River Base Academy in Twin Falls, Idaho, Mohn said.

Jumpers can get their BASE jumping licenses there, he said, and learn tips from

expert jumpers.

“Other states have different rules regarding BASE jumping in certain areas,” Mohn said.

“Some cities even set their own rules on whether it is allowed or not.”

The most dangerous place to BASE jump is off of cliffs, he said, and the safest places to jump are bridges.

Although she thinks BASE jumping as a sport seems cool and adventurous, Hound said she would never try it herself.

“You get a similar kind of rush with skydiving that you do with BASE jumping,” she said. “I just don’t think I would ever want to risk my life that much just for an adrenaline hype.”

Mohn said even though he knows BASE jumping is dangerous, people like him enjoy the rush and the environment too much to stop.

He said he likes being on his own when jumping and having complete control of what happens to him.

“I think the idea that your life is in your hands and the decisions you make decide your fate,” Mohn said. “You are pretty much dead until you put the parachute out, so your actions are what saves you.” ➤➤lsolis@dailytoreador.com

Fundraising opportunity for student organizations

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

Texas Tech Hospitality Services employs approximately 450 students per year and aims to be student-centered.

Top Tier Catering, a division of Hospitality Services, is offering registered student organizations the opportunity to raise money by working at catering events.

Kym Ruiz, the event planning manager for Top Tier, said the company has helped students through the fundraising program in the past.

“We did a couple events last year and about four this year working with student groups,” she said. “It’s worked very well, which is why we wanted to expand the program campus wide.”

Student organizations earn money by

having members work at catering events and each member earns $10 for every hour worked.

Each orgaRUIZ nization can work as many events as it would like, Ruiz said, but it can only earn up to $10,000 a year.

“The money is unrestricted, so they can do with it what they like,” she said.

“They can use it to buy supplies, travel or buy an event back from Top Tier.

They can make the money and donate it to their charity. They can use it along with SGA money.”

Top Tier caters a range of events, and Ruiz said any size organization can

volunteer because events vary in the amount of staff needed.

Cayce Davis, associate director of Top Tier, said people hosting the events enjoy seeing the students working and providing good service.

“They bring a lot of passion and enthusiasm to our events,” he said. “It reflects back on us, but it also reflects well on the university. It’s a win for everyone involved, which is why we want to get more student groups involved in what we’re doing.”

The fundraising program is open exclusively to student organizations, Ruiz said, and any organization can volunteer as long as it is registered through Tech.

Student organizations need to complete paperwork before being able to work at events, but they will be able to

work in future years without having to complete the forms again.

“Organizations can sign up for events, and we’ll be posting at times when we need help,” Ruiz said. “They can then contact our catering managers. Once we get the system started and everything flowing, it will be a pretty simple process.”

Students help with everything from event setup to service to cleanup, and Davis said Top Tier works with the time restraints and preferences of the group.

Alan Cushman, manager for Hospitality Services, said having students help also reduces the costs of Top Tier.

“Divisions of Texas Tech are beginning to face labor constraints,” he said.

“This is a great way for us to maintain those labor levels that we’re losing. The unemployment rate is low in Lubbock,

• Student organizations earn money by catering - Each member earns $10 per hour - Organizations can earn up to $10,000 annually - Organization must be registered through Texas Tech which is a great thing. It allows us to come up with opportunities to reach out more to student groups.”

Top Tier is hosting an information session including a free dinner today at 6:30 p.m. at the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center. Two representatives from any organization are welcome, and the groups can RSVP at catering@ttu. edu until 1 p.m. today.

As both Tech enrollment and interest in Greek life are projected to increase in the next several years, she said the Panhellenic Council has asked another sorority, Phi Mu, to join in either fall 2017, 2018 or 2019.

“We are just anticipating numbers to grow tremendously, even with the addition of a 12th sorority,” Peterson said. “We’ll have to take another poll around spring time to see if we’re going to ask them, but if it aligns with our needs at the times and Phi Mu’s needs at the time, then they will be number 13.”

Lauren Felts, director of marketing and communications for the Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity

national headquarters, said the chance to partner with Tech and create a new colony was an opportunity the sorority could not decline.

There are currently 123 active chapters of Alpha Xi Delta across the country, she said, and more than 150,000 initiated total members.

“It’s very exciting,” Felts said.

“We’re excited to grow with the community at Texas Tech and looking forward to establishing a new chapter there.”

According to the Tech Panhellenic website, Alpha Xi Delta, Phi Mu and Delta Zeta sororities were all considered to join Tech and were invited to

campus as a part of the sorority extension process.

The sororities conducted presentations Oct. 21 to 23, according to the website.

A l p h a X i D e l t a ’s a u t i s m awareness philanthropy fit well with the Lubbock community, Peterson said.

Additionally, the programming offered by the sorority corresponded with the programming of other sororities on Greek Circle, she said.

“Panhellenic is extremely excited about this,” Peterson said, “and we can’t wait to see what will happen when they finally arrive.”

“It’s probably the biggest thing to happen to our Panhellenic community in quite a few years,” she said. “It’s been quite awhile since we’ve had an addition to our chapter total.”

City of Lubbock needs Awareness of history, current events important smoking ban in public O John Erin Wallace Lubbock itself, so behind on the times? There is no denying that exposure to secondhand smoke has no positives, so why delay banning smoke in public places?

Current smoking laws allow restaurants and bars to decide whether or not to allow smoking.

Many restaurants and bars want to ban smoking but are afraid of backlash from smokers. According to a KCBD article, Michael Clintsman, owner of Bar PM and Local Bar and Grill, hopes to soon change the fact that his establishments allow smoking.

“We talked to a few bar owners and restaurant owners that were afraid to go out on a limb in fear of backlash financially,” said Clintsman. “But if it is even across the board then competition will be even as well.”

“I care about people’s health and my employees’ health,” he said.

“My mom actually passed away from lung cancer so it’s a cause near and dear to my heart. It’s time for us to catch up with everybody else and be a little progressive.”

Tech’s Student Senate, according to Fox 34, is in support of the smoking ban, voting “73 percent in favor of the resolution.” Tech students are not the only people fired up about this issue; there is a group called The West Texas Smoke-Free Coalition.

According to an article in the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, the group is working to urge “the council to ‘act now’ by directing the city attorney to begin drafting a more comprehensive ordinance prohibiting smoking in all indoor workplaces.”

Smoking, as we all know, is dangerous, and exposure to secondhand smoke can cause adverse health effects. Why, then, is it OK for people to be put at risk just by going to dinner or to get a drink? The Lubbock City Council needs to pass the smoking ban, not just postpone the vote in fear of backlash. The ban does not take away the right to smoke, but it takes away the right to harm other people in the process.

Smoking in public should be illegal nationwide but Lubbock needs to be ahead of that curve in order to help out Tech students and its residents.

PoliTech’s video has gone viral on many blogs maintained by outside observers, prompting many Tech students to accuse the video’s creators of throwing their university under the bus. Many social media platforms, especially the anonymous app “Yik Yak,” were buzzing with anger toward the film’s producers on Monday.

H o w e v e r, it is ridiculous to blame the video’s creators for making the student body appear uneducated, assuming the video was not manipulated to change people’s answers.

If blame is to be assigned, it clearly should be to the ones who gave the incorrect answers. All the video’s producers did was expose the truth, for which they should be com-

mended.

Likely, the reaction to the video is more widespread than even the producers could have expected or even hoped. But the reality is that their purpose was to make students realize how unaware their counterparts are of history and politics, and the video has definitely done that.

Clearly, this is an issue on college campuses (and workplaces) across the United States. There have been a number of studies done to “prove” that people under 30 are much less aware of current events and history than their predecessors have been. There are a number of possible reasons for this, but the most important reason is that people have become apathetic because they don’t see these events as affecting their day-today lives.

It will clearly be positive for the country if everyone pays more attention to current events and understands the history behind important issues.

People should take it upon themselves to have a better understand-

R

ecently in Lubbock, there has been talk of a citywide smoking ban that would restrict the ability to smoke in public places. The vote was delayed by the city council on Oct. 23. It is time, however, to ban smoking in public places in Lubbock.

We have all heard that smoking is dangerous and potentially deadly, and yet people continue to huff and puff on their cigarettes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking cigarettes can cause heart disease, cancer and diabetes, and has a direct impact on the fertility of a woman. There is no positive to smoking.

When Tech students go out into bars and restaurants in Lubbock, we should not have to worry about the damage being done to our bodies by secondhand smoke.

According to the American Lung Association, secondhand smoke is “responsible for approximately 3,400 lung cancer deaths and 46,000 (ranging 22,700-69,600) heart disease deaths in adult nonsmokers annually in the United States.”

Secondhand smoke, according to the American Lung Association, has many negative effects on our bodies. These include, “exacerbation of asthma, increased frequency of colds and ear infections, and sudden infant death syndrome.

Secondhand smoke causes more than an estimated 202,000 asthma episodes, 790,000 physician visits for buildup of fluid in the middle ear, and 430 sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases each year.”

Smoking is still incredibly prevalent in our society today, despite all the information we have about how bad it is for our bodies. According to the American Lung Association, “in 2009, an estimated 46.6 million, or 20.6 percent of adults (aged 18+) were current smokers.” That is an astounding number; 1 in 5 adults used cigarettes as recently as 2009.

There has been a recent study

by Lancet, says BBC, that smoking bans “have had a positive impact on child health.” According to a BBC article, “Researchers found a 10 percent reduction in premature births and severe childhood asthma attacks within a year of smoke-free laws being introduced…the study also found a 5 percent decline in children being born very small for their age after the introduction of smoke-free laws.”

According to the article, “at present, 16 percent of the world’s population is covered by smokefree laws.” England banned smoking in enclosed public places in 2007 and Scotland did in 2006.

Why is the United States, and

ver the last few days, Texas Tech has received a great deal of negative publicity on social media platforms in particular due to a video called “Politically Challenged,” created by Tech student organization PoliTech.

The organization is dedicated to increasing political awareness on campus, and the video was intended as a wake-up call to students.

For those who have not seen the video, it is essentially analogous to Fox News’ “Watter’s World,” in which correspondent Jesse Watters interviews random students on college campuses to “expose” how little they know about current events.

Most of the responses that are kept by the editors, of course, show the incorrect responses, because those are the ones that draw a reaction from the audience, not because of any malicious intent.

To paraphrase, the three questions the PoliTech interviewer asked were “Who won the civil war?” “Who is the current U.S. vice president?” and “From whom did America gain its independence?”

Each of these seemingly simple questions was followed by clips of a number of students answering incorrectly. Following this, the video shows a number of the same students correctly answering questions about pop culture to demonstrate the students’ misguided priorities.

ing and awareness of these matters by obtaining their news from reliable sources as opposed to social media.

That being said, at this point, there is not much the university can do in terms of making people learn this information prior to graduation.

12 hours of history and political science are already required of every Tech student. These courses should more than cover these basic facts.

Almost all high schools require basic history courses as well. The reality is that there’s no acceptable excuse for graduating college without knowing the basics of U.S. history or even an inkling of current events.

It is incumbent upon our generation to reverse this disturbing trend.

In order to fulfill our responsibility as citizens, when making an informed decision at the polls or serving on a jury, it is crucial to understand our nation’s history. It is our duty as Americans to take this responsibility seriously and ensure we are aware of the basic principles of liberty and the means by which they are safeguarded.

The “Politically Challenged” video exposes just how far today’s young people — our generation — still need to go.

Boko Haram should be fought with more urgency

I

t’s been more than six months since more than 200 girls were abducted in northern Nigeria by an infamous Islamist group known as Boko Haram.

The reason for the kidnapping of these girls is speculated to be an attempt by the terrorist group to stop girls from getting an education, an ideology that stems from the name Boko Haram, which means, “western education is sin.”

As to why any group feels they have the prerogative to decide whether or not a group of young girls are entitled to an education is another issue to be discussed later. However, what remains baffling is the reason why six months down the line, nothing major has been heard or seen about these school children.

A few days after that rather unfortunate incident on April 14, there was a major global uproar that led to the birthing of the “Bring Back Our Girls” campaign. This campaign saw many prominent people, including First Lady Michelle Obama and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, campaigning on social media and public platforms in a bid to get the girls rescued.

While I commend the speed and intensity at which this campaign took place, what is a bit unfortunate is the reason why six months down the line, the whole issue seems to have faded away with nobody talking about it or even questioning where the girls are, and yet this terrorist group continues to perpetrate its unpardonable and nefarious activities.

Commendably, Alicia Keys, a U.S.based singer, spearheaded a protest in New York City on Oct. 14, according to an article by The Daily Mail, in an attempt to remind the world that nothing had been done about the missing girls six months after their abduction.

As to whether or not this protest had an impact is not the point. The point is that at least someone still remembers that nothing is being done to secure the freedom of innocent young girls whose education, and thus their future, was being compromised by a group of extremists.

Another interesting dimension to this case which calls for concern pertains to what the Nigerian government is doing to ensure these girls are back safely with their families.

On Oct. 17, a few days after Keys’ protest, CNN reported that Nigeria had been able to reach a deal with Boko Haram for the release of the girls.

Francis Cobbinah Tukur, the principal secretary to the Nigerian president.

From the day of that announcement to date, the girls have still not been released and nobody can really tell if the earlier deal announced by the Nigerian government was simply a hoax.

The sad reality is that high-profiled Nigerian politicians have not been making the right decisions in trying to secure freedom for the girls and neither have they spared the matter its due attention.

Firstly, in dealing with a group like Boko Haram, there is no need to engage in peaceful lobbying. It is either they surrender the girls or measures are put in place to take them out and rescue them.

To be honest, if a politician’s daughter was one of the abducted girls, perhaps the seriousness that is being attached to the issue now would have doubled or even tripled and a lasting solution would have been found. Everyone knows most politicians would sacrifice anything simply for the well-being of their families, and a top politician’s daughter being involved would have meant securing the release of the girls at all costs either by hook or crook.

For instance, in neighboring Cameroon, independent.co.uk reported that the vice prime minister’s wife was abducted alongside 27 others by these same Jihadists. Shockingly, the politician’s wife and the others were mysteriously freed by the group. This column is not meant to cast insinuations, but could there be a possibility that a high-profile politician’s wife being involved in the abduction played a crucial role in negotiating for the release of the captives?

The sad thing is, while those have been freed probably because a politician’s wife was involved, more than 200 other families have to constantly endure in pain and perhaps prayer trusting in their government and hoping that someday they will get the chance to see their loved ones again.

I am not saying politicians in Nigeria and other countries that have these extremist groups have a concrete say in the affairs of these extremists. However, all politicians must understand it is not always about family alone.

The same seriousness they attach to matters relating to their nuclear families should be the same amount of seriousness they attach to matters regarding the citizenry other than that.

may have the love for both country and family at heart.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Lubbock should ban public smoking The health risks associated with secondhand smoke have been well established; second hand smoke is deadly. It harms nearly every organ in the body and increases your risk for stroke, lung cancer, heart disease and autoimmune disease.

Cigarette smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals and compounds. Exposure to the hundreds of carcinogens in cigarette smoke is linked to markedly decreased lung function, elevated blood pressure and heart rate and obstructive lung diseases such as asthma and COPD. It is imperative that Lubbock becomes smoke-free in order to protect the health of its citizens and employees who are being exposed to these deadly chemicals. A poll commissioned by the American Heart Association found that 73 percent

of Lubbockites believe that they should have the right to breathe smoke-free air in restaurants and bars. This right must be extended to those who work in restaurants and bars as well.

Every Lubbock citizen has the right to breathe clean, smoke-free air, and their health shouldn’t be impacted by the poor choices of others. The Lubbock community is a highly health-conscious one, and the people of Lubbock care not only about their own health, but also about the health of their neighbors. I strongly support a smoke-free ordinance in Lubbock that protects citizens from the deadly effects of secondhand smoke and promotes the overall well-being of our community.

Student football spirit commendable It’s not often I feel compelled to write a letter to the editor.

However, what I saw at the Texas Tech football game against Texas this past Saturday forced the issue.

I am writing this letter to commend the students of Tech on their continued support of the Red Raider football team. Your zeal for our football team even in the face of the worst season in more than 30 years impresses me. You show up early, fill the stands, throw tortillas and make it a hostile environment.

Soccer team to rematch in Big 12 quarterfinals

By DAWIT HAILE

Tech dominated through the first 90 minutes, Beckie said, and there were only a couple minutes in overtime where Texas had control of the game.

The loss should not discourage Tech from playing its game again against Texas, she said.

“We want to keep the ball, we want to move it fast,” she said, “and play our system. And just kind of focus on ourselves.”

More importantly though, Tech needs to capitalize on the chances its system affords it, Beckie said.

The team’s inability to take advantage of its chances in its previous match against Texas is what led to the defeat.

This loss kickstarted a winless stretch for Tech in its next three conference games.

After four conference games, Tech had a Big 12 record of 0-3-1, second to last in the conference standings at the time, according to the Big 12 website.

Tech eventually settled its problems on the field and went on a four-game winning streak to finish

Staff Writer

No. 18 Texas Tech rematches with Texas 2 p.m. today for its quarterfinal match at Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, Kansas, for the Big 12 Conference Championship tournament.

The last time Tech faced Texas, it did not end well for Tech.

Both teams stayed tied at zero through regulation, forcing overtime. Tech and Texas continued to have trouble creating scoring opportunities. In fact, neither team had managed to take a shot through the first half of overtime.

Then, in the 97th minute with three minutes remaining in the first overtime, Texas sophomore forward Jasmine Hart fed a ball to freshman forward Olivia Brook. Brook sliced a shot from the left corner of the penalty box and into the net.

The golden goal gave Tech its first loss of its season.

Junior forward Janine Beckie said the best team did not win that game.

with an overall record of 14-3-1 and a conference record of 4-3-1, according to Tech Athletics. This comeback put Tech at fourth place in the conference standings to end the regular season.

Fourth place narrowly beat out the Longhorns, who ended up in fifth place with a 4-4-0 conference record, according to the Big 12 website.

Tech coach Tom Stone said despite what has happened since the first match, neither team is drastically different.

Both teams have not changed their playing styles or team behavior, Stone said. Personnel keep those characteristics steady through all. It does not mean, however, there are no adjustments to be made.

“I feel like both teams have looked at that game,” he said, “and feel like there need to be adjustments because the game was so tight and was decided in an odd manner.”

E s p e c i a l l y w h e n Te c h a n d Texas know each other so well, Stone said. If adjustments are not made, a team could possibly pre-

vent itself from making it to the Big 12 Championship.

The Texas game is not without personal feelings involved.

Senior defender Jaelene Hinkle said she thinks everyone in the program secretly hoped Texas would be the team they had to face in the quarterfinals.

In the final week of conference play, Tech had a bye week. It had already competed in all its conference matches and just had to wait to find out which team it was going to face. Tech only had two options: Oklahoma State and Texas.

Those two teams competed against each other in the final week, and Oklahoma State came out on top with a 2-1 victory, setting the matchup between Tech and Texas.

Now, Tech goes into this tournament especially motivated, Hinkle said. Along with the motivation, the team enters this rematch with a realization of how precious this moment is because of the slump Texas put Tech in earlier in the season.

“You got to go on the field and got to take every game as if it is go-

Tech volleyball faces Big 12 leader, Texas

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

After dropping three straight matches against Kansas, Baylor and Kansas State, the Texas Tech volleyball team faces the leader of the Big 12 Conference, the Texas Longhorns, at 6 p.m. today in the United Supermarkets Arena.

Tech, with a 15-7 overall record and a 3-7 overall conference record, comes into the matchup after losing to the Kansas State Wildcats last Saturday. Tech took a 2-0 set lead against Kansas State but could not close the match and pick up the crucial third set victory.

Tech came close to ending a Wildcat run in the third and fourth sets, but the Wildcats pulled away from Tech by scoring the two points they needed to take both sets.

In the fifth and final set, the Wildcats took an early 4-1 lead and led Tech by as many as eight points.

Tech coach Don Flora said the team has put aside its recent losses and placed focus on its match against the Longhorns.

“I think emotionally we’re ready. I think we put things behind us and got our focus on what’s in front of us,” Flora said. “That’s something we can control, how we come out and how we take the first swing.”

TEXAS TECH LIBERO Carlie Foust dives for the ball during Tech’s 3-2 loss to Baylor on Oct. 29 at the United Supermarkets Arena.

Sooners swept Texas at home.

Oklahoma won all its sets against Tech 26-24.

Tech dropped three sets to the Longhorns 25-19, 25-17 and 25-19 in the two teams’ previous matchup. Despite tying the Longhorns 17-17 in the first and third set, Tech couldn’t overcome late offensive runs by the Texas team.

Flora said despite the loss to Texas earlier in the season, Tech

built up confidence by keeping things close against one of the nation’s top volleyball teams.

“When you look back you go, ‘That’s the type of volleyball we expect to be able to play a top 10 team’,” Flora said. “We made them play their best volleyball.”

The Longhorns face the Red Raiders after a 3-1 win over Iowa State. In the Longhorns’ last meeting against the Red Raiders, they
