QB Mahomes back to practicing with team Freshman Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been practicing with the team throughout this past week, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said in his weekly radio show Thursday.

Mahomes received what Kingsbury called a “head injury” early in the second quarter of the Red Raiders’ Nov. 1 loss to Texas and was unable to return to the game. Mahomes had left the pocket on a quarterback rush, and senior Texas cornerback Quandre Diggs hit the true freshman to knock him out of the game.

Although he has only played in small parts of four games, including the one against the Longhorns, Mahomes has 228 passing yards on the season with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

The Red Raiders had a bye this past weekend and are now preparing for this week’s game against Oklahoma. The game will kick off at 2:30 Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium and will be broadcast on ESPN.

Agency continuing to issue drilling permits AUSTIN (AP) — A state agency that regulates oil and gas will continue issuing permits to companies seeking to drill in Denton, despite residents passing a ban to prevent further hydraulic fracturing in the north Texas city.

At an event sponsored by the Texas Tribune, Railroad Commission Chairwoman Christi Craddick said she was disappointed in the measure’s approval and that she’ll continue issuing the permits, The Dallas Morning News reported.

“It’s my job to give permits, not Denton’s. We’re going to continue permitting up there because that’s my job,” she said Thursday.

Tuesday’s vote in Denton, which sits atop a large natural gas reserve, made it the first Texas city to pass such a ban.

The gas fields under it have produced $1 billion in mineral wealth and pumped more than $30 million into city bank accounts. Industry groups have warned the ban could hurt Denton’s economy.

Vice President Adam Briggle of the nonprofit Denton Drilling Awareness Group said the ban’s passage should have prompted the commission to “adopt a more conciliatory tone” and consider why residents are opposed to drilling.

Fracking involves blasting a mix of water, sand and chemicals deep into underground rock formations to released trapped oil and gas. Opponents of fracking say it pollutes air and drinking water, while oil and gas organizations say it’s cleaner than other forms of energy extraction.

Texas Tech begins community engagement autumn tradition

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

Members of the Lubbock community gathered from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday at Memorial Circle and in the engineering key on the Texas Tech campus to celebrate the inagural Autumn Festival.

Keri Shiplet, the assistant director of the Center for Campus Life, said a committee began planning the event last year.

“The plan of it came from President M. Duane Nellis,” she said. “At his last institution, he had a festival

Heading into the second week of November, Lubbock will begin experiencing winter weather-like conditions.

The high today will be 79 degrees Fahrenheit before dropping to 35 degrees in the evening and then a high of 49 degrees and a low of 27 degrees Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

The freezing lows are anticipated to last through the next ten days, according to the National Weather Service, with the possibility of snow for Sunday.

According to the National Weather Service, the average date for the first freeze in Lubbock is Oct. 31, so although the cold is behind schedule, it is on its way. ➤➤news@dailytoreador.com

that was out of the President’s Office. He wanted to bring that same concept here to Tech. He formed a committee, and we were tasked with planning an event that would welcome the Lubbock community.”

The members of the committee had different areas of expertise, Shiplet said, and each member helped plan a specific part of the event.

The festival included live performances by bands and songwriters, cooking demonstrations, live dancing, inflatable attractions for children and a farmer’s market.

“We knew we wanted families, and kids love the inflatables,” Shiplet said. “We took applications for

the vendors and we primarily wanted local vendors. We wanted local people that sell crafts and arts and food.

We went through the applications and made sure there was a good variety.”

Various vendors participated in the farmer’s market, and they sold goods such as steel products, cosmetics and food products.

Lauren Behrmann, a sophomore plant and soil science major from Midlothian, participated as a vendor with the Horticulture Society.

University to partner with taxi service Yellow Cab taxi service has announced its return to Lubbock and the Texas Tech administration is talking with the new owners about the ability to partner with the company yet again to provide Safe Ride services.

On October 12th, Yellow Cab went out of business.

Customers were made aware of the change by a phone call left on their voicemails. According to the call, the owner of Yellow Cab Company was retiring and there had not been an offer to take over ownership as of Oct. 12.

Jarita and Ed Pascasio, the new husband and wife owners of the company, said they hope to have the permit processed within the month and also hope to be back and fully operational.

Yellow Cab has been in contact with officials at Tech to again provide Safe Ride to the students of Tech, Chris Cook, director of the Office of Communications and Marketing at Tech, said.

Until the deal is decided, students can use the S-bus or services currently being pro-

vided by Citibus that mimic those provided

by Safe Ride, according to an email sent to Tech students.

Safe Ride was a product of the Student Government Association and is funded by student transportation fees, according to the SGA website.

Students could get rides back to their dorms or place of residence by calling the Safe Ride number on the backs of students’ identification cards. ➤➤jlaurel@dailytoreador.com

Texas Tech hosts three day startup event

By NICOLAS LOPEZ Staff Writer

Texas Tech hosted the 3 Day Startup event for student entrepreneurs at the Overton Hotel this weekend.

Jennifer Horn, director of Translational Research and Entrepreneurialism, said the event was conducted to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit on Tech’s campus and to increase collaboration between students of different disciplines at Tech.

“I think the long-term vision is that we have a student body that knows what it takes to start a business,” she said. “When they have a great idea or when you have a professor that has an invention or a great idea, that you have students that are trained so that they can take that idea and get it out into the market place and the professors can

continue their research.”

According to 3 Day Startup’s website, its mission is to kick start student-run companies while fostering the entrepreneurial capabilities of students and their university communities.

Cam Houser, 3 Day Startup CEO, said the group was founded by graduate students at the University of Texas at Austin who grew tired of the rigid format of existing entrepreneurial business classes and felt the best way to learn how to do something was by doing it.

“At that time, I mean, entrepreneurial classes involved taking tests and writing papers,” he said. “We had some pretty aggressive ideas about the best way to learn to how to start a company is to start a company.”

The weekend was focused on the group-based, hands-on practicing of innovation by converting abstract

ideas into basic designs or working models that can be pitched as prototype demos to an actual panel of venture capitalists, angel investors , groups of people that pool their investment capital and advice to companies they are helping, and accomplished entrepreneurs on the last day, according to event materials.

Carl Eranio, a sophomore electrical engineering major from Arizona, said this weekend is a lab for entrepreneurship.

“If you’re a chemistry student, you go to a lab and you work on chemicals, if you’re an art student, you go to a, not lab, but an art studio and you do art stuff,” he said. “Well, for people who want to start businesses the most common thing is you just go to class and somebody talks to you and tells you to read stuff, and then you get out of school four years later and you’ve never tried to

do anything.”

Spencer Kelley, a graduate student studying science technology engineering and math business from Lubbock, said in the short time he has been at the 3 Day Startup event his group and its idea have grown.

“It is so incredible of where our idea has gone from the first moment that we stepped in here and how much we have all had to grow and adapt and change,” Kelley said, “and that’s what we’re here to learn about as entrepreneurs is how to grow and adapt and change in this marketplace.”

“There’s not necessarily a competition,” Kelley said. “I mean, we’re Red Raiders, we want to do as well as we can with everything we do, but there’s not an inherent winner or loser.”

Since its inception, 3 Day Startup has worked with more than

American freed by North Korea wanted pizza Ebola nurse to remain a voice against quarantines SEATTLE (AP) — Kenneth Bae arrived home after years of imprisonment in North Korea, expressing his gratitude to the U.S. government for securing his release and revealing that his time there offered lessons.

And his sister said he had one stipulation for his first meal back home: No Korean food.

“He said, ‘I don’t want Korean food, that’s all I’ve been eating for the last two years,’” Terri Chung said Sunday outside her Seattle church.

“We had a late night eating pizza.”

Bae and Matthew Miller, another American who had been held captive in North Korea, landed Saturday night at a Washington state military base after a top U.S. intelligence official secured their release.

“It’s been an amazing two years, I learned a lot, I grew a lot, I lost a lot of weight,” Bae, a Korean-American missionary with health problems, said at Joint Base-Lewis-McChord Saturday night. Asked how he was feeling, he said, “I’m recovering at this time.”

Bae, surrounded by family members, spoke briefly to the media after the plane carrying him and Miller landed. He thanked President Barack Obama and the people who supported him and his family.

He also thanked the North Korean government for releasing him.

“I just want to say thank you all for supporting me and standing by me,” Bae said. His family has said he suffers from diabetes, an enlarged heart, liver problems and back pain.

Being drawn to Tech was like standing in the sand and being pulled into the water, she said.

She had no reason to fight the feeling and was swept away immediately with everything she saw.

Everyone has their own goals and accomplishments that they want to do and when she is able to help a library or people individually work to achieve their goals and be happy in their job, that is when she can say she is doing a good job, Gerlich said.

“The libraries themselves are great, the libraries are wonderful,” she said, “and have a great record of being ahead with

technology and supporting the students and supporting the faculty and staff.”

Working at Tech is a wonderful opportunity to join a great institution, Gerlich said, and he cannot wait to arrive and get to work to start talking with people and working with students.

It is very easy to look at the accomplishments and want to be a part of a winning organization and every place she has been has different factors that make it successful, such as Tech’s research program, Gerlich said.

“I want to work closely with the students, faculty and administration to help the library and university reach the next level and go beyond that,” she

Chung said Bae was in better shape when he arrived than his family expected. She said he had spent about six weeks in a North Korean hospital before he returned.

“That helped. As you know, he had gone back and forth between the labor camp and hospital,” she said.

She said he was checked out by a doctor on the flight back to the United States.

His plans for the near future include rest and food and reconnecting with friends and family. Neither his wife nor his children could make it back to Seattle in time for Bae’s homecoming, his sister said.

They plan to gather the whole family together for Thanksgiving,” she said.

Monday will mark the 21st day since Hickox’s last exposure to an Ebola patient, a 10-year-old girl who suffered seizures before dying alone without family.

On Tuesday, Hickox will no longer require daily monitoring for Ebola symptoms, and even those who sought to isolate her agree that she will no longer be a threat.

Hickox she said she doesn’t intend to stop speaking out on behalf of public health workers, nor would she let her experience deter her from returning to West Africa.

“Something like quarantine is not going to scare me from doing the work that I love,” she said from her home in Fort Kent in northern Maine. “I would return to Sierra Leone in a heartbeat.”

The Texas native never intended to become the public face of a fierce debate over how U.S. health care workers volunteering in West Africa are treated upon their return.

Volunteering for Doctors Without Borders, she spent a month at a hospital where there were never enough beds for all of the Ebola patients who needed help. It was so hot that volunteers could only spend about an hour at a time treating patients in their protective suits. They were drenched in sweat when they finished their shifts, she said.

said. “I’m a big visionary, and big dreamer and I know that we can become a tier one research institution and have the best library ever, not just in Texas but in the country and maybe the world.”

Susan Henrichs, provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, said Gerlich has been a capable administrator and a supporter of both the university’s libraries and of the university in general.

Gerlich is creative and not afraid of change, Henrichs said. In addition, Gerlich has collaborated with others to advance several important initiatives and projects.

Gerlich said she and col-

leagues accomplished things that had not been done before and made an impact on the state of Alaska.

“What I’ve enjoyed most is working with the people,” she said. “I really do like finding what’s going on in their research areas and what they do to support the students, if it’s in the library or if it’s faculty or if it’s different researchers.”

Gerlich said the thing she thinks has been the most useful in librarianship in general is something she developed called the READ scale, Reference Effort Assessment Data. It’s a sliding scale tool that she created to assess reference effort, knowledge and skills. More than 250 libraries around the world currently use the scale.

“That is something that has really resonated with librarians who help people at reference desks and work with faculty and staff,” Gerlich said, “because there’s never been a good way to assess the work that goes into that and now there is a tool.”

Informing others of the unique resources that the Tech library has such as the special collections and other material is something Gerlich is looking forward to, she said.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks is a very unique environment, a different culture and heritage, Gerlich said, but she is looking forward to the different opportunities she will have as the dean of libraries at Tech.

Tech raises more than $35,000 for St. Jude

By KRISTEN BARTON Staff Writer

Each year, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital sponsors a charity event called Up ‘til Dawn, which raises money and awareness all through the night for the patients going through treatment.

Texas Tech raised $35,000 for this cause, making it one of the top 10 in the nation for fundraising, Mark Khan, director of Tech Up ‘til Dawn and a junior marketing major from Round Rock, said.

“The theory behind Up ‘til Dawn is that all the children at St. Jude are getting chemo treatments and radiation, CT scans and MRIs throughout the night when they would prefer to be sleeping,” Bonnie Holman, the regional development representative for St. Jude, said. “The point is to take a stand that if they can do it in their tough circumstances, then we can do it and have fun throughout the night in honor of them.”

Holman said the event originated through a letter-writing program but developed along with technology.

“About 2 years ago we revamped it as an all-night event because letters are extinct in this day and age,” Holman said. “It’s all done through a volunteer portal and emails to fundraise and it’s giving students a great opportunity to develop leadership abilities through the planning of the event.”

Holman said, and asked the university to be a part of the fundraiser.

Holman said St. Jude reached out to Tech because it has the size and student leadership ability on campus.

“We look at demographics and what schools have different fundraising events,” she said. “We look at where the event could thrive. Texas Tech also has a few patients on campus, and we hoped that would build full circle.”

Public relations director Amanda Brown said the board has been preparing for Up ‘til Dawn for seven months.

Burkhart students sell art during First Friday Art Trail

By KRISTEN BARTON Staff Writer

Keely Price, a student at the Burkhart Center for Autism and Research’s Transition Academy, wants to be an artist one day. On Friday, she took one step closer to reaching her goals.

At the November First Friday Art Trail in Lubbock, the Burkhart Transition Academy gave students the opportunity to sell their artwork.

“I was excited at first, and I see my pieces sold, and I’m really excited they’re selling,” Price said.

“I would like to be an artist.”

Price had a variety of artwork on display and for sale, ranging from canvas paintings to jewelry to buttons, she said.

The students have been preparing with their art teacher, Maggie Vasquez, for about two months, she said.

“I told them they’re going to get out there and help sell,” Vasquez said. “This is a way of them learning to be social, to be together and talk to other people.”

Vasquez said this event means a lot to her and her students.

All the artwork is handmade, she said, and she did not help the students create it.

“They’re up there selling their art, when someone buys their art it brightens their lives,” Vasquez said. “It makes them feel so good about themselves and have more confidence.”

“We came as a vendor to get our name out there and to let people know what we’re doing,” she said. “We sold pumpkins with floral arrangements glued to the top as well as potted plants. We have a lot of plants that the horticulture classes propagate as projects, and we’ll repot them and reuse them.”

Many people visited the Horticulture Society booth, and Behrmann said people signed up to sponsor and participate in the club in addition to buying plants.

JANICE MAGNESS SELLS a student’s artwork to Gary Adrian on Friday during the First Friday Art Trail. Many of the students’ artworks were on display and able to be purchased at their display table.

Vasquez tries to teach art to the students at least four times a week, she said, and they work on several different art techniques in her class.

Janice Magness, the Transition Academy director, said the students are young adults between the ages of 18 and 30.

These students attend the academy to work on job, life and social skills, she said.

“One of our projects is to always be creative and do art,” Magness said. “They have produced all of these wreaths, Christmas cards, necklaces, canvases — they’ve got a whole variety of stuff they’ve created.”

The academy has helped young adults with an autism spectrum disorder since 2007, Magness said.

“Since that time we’ve graduated about seven students,” she said.

“Right now we have 15 students.”

The students have paid internships at places like Goodwill and University Medical Center, she said, to work on their skills.

The academy is a three-year program, Magness said, and the intention is for students to graduate with life and social skills.

“Typically, people with autism have that social piece that’s kind of missing, so we work with their social skills and ability to make friends,” Magness said. “Our students make friends with each other at the academy so that when they graduate they have friends to go places with.”

said she attended the festival to get out of her residence hall.

“I saw the advertisements for it, so I decided to come see what it was about,” she said. “There’s nothing to do this weekend, so I think a lot more kids came out.”

The event offered a variety of activities and vendors, but Coleman said she would have liked it better if it was larger.

More than 60 student volunteers helped at the festival, Shiplet said, and she even had to turn some away because there were so many.

“The festival is a great idea because it gets people out to Tech campus,” Behrmann said. “It lets them know about different organizations on campus. They

businesses around Lubbock.”

The event will be hosted again next year, and Shiplet said she hopes the event expands as more people learn about it.

The Autumn Festival’s purpose was to make the community comfortable on the Tech campus, she said.

She hopes it becomes a tradition for Tech, Shiplet said.

“We’ve had multiple people tell us that this is a great event,” she said. “I think families are happy because there are things for their kids to do. It brings them to campus, and hopefully it builds that fond experience for people in the community.

Maybe their kids will want to come to Tech.”

said they were looking for leaders to serve on an executive council board and I was asked.”

After being asked, Kahn said he did more research on the charity and decided it would be a great event for Tech.

“From there I met these great board members,” he said. “It’s been crazy, it’s been seven months of straight preparation. We’ve been meeting these past few months,

talking to each other regularly, it’s been a lot of fun, and it’s definitely been an adventure.”

Brown, a sophomore public relations major from Dallas, said the board sent out emails asking for donations over the summer and put posters around campus during the week leading up to the event.

Prior to the event, Kahn agreed to a makeover if Tech met its fundraising goal for the event, he said.

“So this summer I agreed as an added incentive, if we raise $30,000 as a school, I’d shave my hair off,” Kahn said. “So that’s going down tonight.”

Tech raised $1,000 as a campus last year, so Kahn said raising more than $30,000 is a huge step up.

Tech still is not finished raising money for St. Jude, he said.

“We still have a lot of people sending in checks, which take a while to process,” he said. “As of now, we’re at the $35,000 mark.”

Students formed teams of up to six, Kahn said, and each team had a St. Jude fundraising captain.

The other team members were St. Jude fundraising executives, he said, and the titles allowed students to have a leadership position within one of the most well known charities in the world.

“We offered incentives like if you raise $500 you get to be a gold double fundraiser,” Khan said. “At $1,000 you get to be an all-star and along the way you get prizes through St. Jude.”

IFC was the biggest sponsor for the event because it donated

$2,500 to the event and encouraged each fraternity to form a team, he said.

Almost all those teams have raised more than $1,000 each for St. Jude, Kahn said, with the Kappa Sigma team having raised the most money for St. Jude at Tech.

“A lot of what my team raised was because I gave my parents the information and my mom posted on Facebook. Facebook helped since a lot of my mom’s friends donated,” Zac Franz, a freshman general business major from Austin, said.

“My team raised over $5,000. We all just met up and decided to do something for a good cause.”

Brown said if anyone wants to get involved they can find the Facebook page for St. Jude Up ‘til Dawn to get an application to be part of the executive board and information on when to start forming teams for next year.

Lauren Preiss, assistant director of Tech Up ‘til Dawn, said the motto of the event is “Stay Up for Good” and teams have a goal of raising at least $600 to get into the event.

The money from the event is used to help the families of St. Jude, so they never have to pay for treatment or housing or food, Preiss, a junior pre-nursing major from Round Rock, said.

“The whole night is just to raise awareness for the children and families of St. Jude,” she said, “and 100 percent of our proceeds go to St. Jude. We don’t keep any of it.” ➤➤kbarton@dailytoreador.com

be. The entire state would become a patchwork quilt of different rules, which would give oil and gas companies headaches. Plus, what if someone’s mineral interest spanned two counties, each with different rules? How would that be governed?

In that case, there’s a great benefit in uniformity.

With these legal challenges mounting, I have a hard time believing the ban will withstand the scrutiny of the Texas courts.

Similar bans have been attempted in other states with varying degrees of success (or failure), but in Texas, where property rights are strongly protected, and where oil and gas are king and are spurring the economy forward, the likelihood of the ban surviving is small. Hopefully, the city of Denton’s mistake is fixed by the legal system.

I’m certainly not advocating that the powers of local governments should be curtailed beyond the issue at hand. Normally, they can do a better job than state and national governments at a great many things. But in this case, the state has an interest not only in protecting individuals’ property rights, but also in protecting its own, and when a local government infringes on those rights, it’s simply gone too far.

n last week’s election, the citizens in the Dallas suburb of Denton voted to outlaw hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as “fracking,” within the city limits. The city’s mayor, Chris Watts, said he will defend the ban against the number of court challenges that will likely ensue. After all, 58 percent of the city’s voters supported the ban, the first of its kind in the state of Texas, according to an NPR article.

First off, I am a strong proponent of hydraulic fracturing as a means of energy production, and by no means do I support the ban the city instituted, or similar bans being offered around the country. This ban is foolish for Denton from an economic standpoint, given that there are at least 270 wells in the city limits, which all can generate jobs and tax revenue for the city. Although the ban does still permit drilling, most of the Barnett Shale projects will no longer be economical without fracturing and therefore will not be undertaken.

That being said, this brings up a larger issue, which is state control of local affairs. Clearly, the citizens of Denton have

standing to determine what should be allowed within their city limits.

The state should not be allowed to take any legislative or executive action to nullify the city law (such as passing a state law stating that hydraulic fracturing must be permitted in all cities.) The only proper way to challenge this new law is to file a challenge in court.

Furthermore, the court challenge should not be on the grou nds that the regulation “usurps state authority.” If the state of Te x a s c a n ’ t come up with a b e t t e r a rgument than that, they shouldn’t even bother taking this to court.

Imagine if Te x a s v o t e r s had banned hydraulic fracturing, and then the U.S. government challenged on the grounds that it “usurped their authority.” It would be ridiculous. This is essentially the same situation, just on a smaller scale.

Just as the federal government should delegate as many powers as possible to the states, the states should delegate as much power as possible to the counties and cities. After all, local governments are the ones which citizens can most easily become involved in or at the very least directly influence, and citizen involvement is a cornerstone of our liberty.

Additionally, if local governments were granted more power as opposed to the states, and a citizen was unhappy with city ordinances, he or she could feel free to move to another nearby city in the same state. On the other hand, if one is unhappy with a state law, it is much harder to relocate. If cities were granted more authority, cities would competing to be the best

for business, best at managing money, et cetera, as opposed to the current situation where they aimlessly waste state funds in order to maintain their place in the state budget.

Unfortunately, the most recent applicable Supreme Court decisions from 1903 and 1923 uphold “Dillon’s Rule,” which dictates that a sub-state government may only engage in an activity if it is sanctioned by the state government. These decisions overturned “Coole y ’s R u l e , ” (followed in Te x a s f o r a short period of time in the late 1800s) which stated that municipalities have some inherent governmental rights.

H o w e v e r, currently, there are 10 states employing “home rule,” in which the states have granted some of their rights from “Dillon’s Rule” back to the cities subject to interpretation by the courts, according to the National League of Cities. Texas is not one of these states.

In order to spur future growth, the other 40 states should grant “home rule” rights to sub-state governments, such as county and city governments. Our country was founded on the principle that each of us has the right to participate in our own government, and what better way to do this than bring the government’s power closer to the people?

And as far as Denton’s ridiculous ban on hydraulic fracturing, I’d imagine the citizens will soon realize they have made a very poor decision. The city will likely suffer economically, and the ban will probably be repealed sooner rather than later. But that’s a decision the city’s voters should be allowed to make.

Just as the federal government should delegate as many powers as possible to the states, the states should delegate as much power as possible to the counties and cities.

Let us know what you think.

then they should have to pay the mineral owners for these lost rights.

Local governments generally don’t have the necessary funds to pay all the mineral owners within their jurisdiction, so they are walking a fine line by passing bans such as these.

Proponents of the ban argue it’s necessary for noise and environmental concerns, citing increased truck traffic and decreased air quality. However, temporary nuisance concerns should not be sufficient for local governments to infringe on the rights of mineral owners.

A basic principle of federalism is that federal law trumps state law. Likewise, state law trumps local law, or at least it should. While a local fracking ban doesn’t necessarily violate state law, because there’s no state law that says local governments can’t ban fracking, the ban does harm the rights of mineral owners, which are well protected in state law.

Legal challenges to Denton’s fracking ban have already been mounted. According to a Texas Tribune article, the Texas General Land Office and the Texas Oil and Gas Association have filed separate lawsuits against the city.

According to the article, Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said the ban “threatens the state’s royalty interests, which flow into the $37.7 billion Permanent School Fund.”

The Permanent School Fund, according to the Texas General Land Office website, is income received from public (state-owned) lands in Texas that go directly toward funding the state’s public school system. According to the website, “These lands generate revenue primarily through oil and gas revenues.”

So if a fracking ban affects state lands, the state would not be able to collect royalties from its mineral interests. In effect, this would be taking money out of the public school system.

Hypothetically speaking, let’s say the state allowed Denton’s ban to stand. More than likely, other misguided city and county governments would follow suit. How many mineral owners would have to be deprived of their rights and how much money would have to be kept out of the public school system for people to realize these bans create many more problems than they solve? It’s a dangerous precedent that should not be allowed to stand.

Plus, if every city and county government regulated oil and gas production differently, imagine how difficult and confusing that would

“

W

ho would’ve thought that a town in Texas would pass an ordinance curtailing oil and gas drilling?

What might have been unthinkable just a week ago became reality on Tuesday as the city of Denton, situated just north of the DallasFort Worth metroplex, passed a proposition on its Election Day ballot to ban hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as “fracking,” within its city limits. Surprisingly, the measure passed with nearly 59 percent of the vote, according to a Texas Tribune article.

For those unfamiliar with the process of hydraulic fracturing, it is the process through which oil and gas can be extracted from a shale formation. Millions of gallons of fluid, usually water, are pumped down the well and blasted into the formation, creating tiny cracks that allow the hydrocarbons to escape and be captured. Without fracking, drilling into these shale formations would yield little, if any, profit.

In spite of fracking being the leading cause of the current oil boom, and in spite of the more than 270 gas wells located within the city of Denton, according to a Texas Tribune article, Denton residents chose to ban it. This creates a number of problems, especially with oil and gas drilling being traditionally regulated by state law.

Normally, I would argue that smaller governments generally do a better job and therefore should have more authority to do things.

However, this case is an exception, as local governments should by no means have the power to regulate oil and gas production to this extent.

The main problem here is that by banning fracking, Denton, which sits on the very productive Barnett Shale, is essentially banning oil and gas production altogether. Though the city attempts to make clear that traditional drilling methods are still allowed, fracking is necessary to extract oil and gas from these shale formations. Without it, drilling will cease.

This creates a number of issues for mineral rights owners, who, without drilling, won’t receive any royalty payments on their oil and gas leases. This essentially amounts to a confiscation of mineral rights, because although the mineral owners may still have the mineral rights, they’ll have no way to extract those minerals.

There’s also an argument that if local governments can take away these rights from mineral owners,

Staff Writer

The Texas Tech volleyball team dropped its fifth consecutive game Saturday with a 3-1 loss to the Kansas Jayhawks in the United Supermarkets Arena.

Tech won the first set 25-22. For most of the match, Kansas and Tech traded points back and forth. The Jayhawks built their largest lead of the set with the score at 16-13, but Tech reversed the Jayhawk lead with a 4-0 run. Kansas tied the score at 17-17, but the Tech offense built a five-point lead, a deficit Kansas never recovered from.

Kansas tied the match 1-1 with a 25-18 second-set win. The Red Raiders played a close game against Kansas for the majority of the set, but Kansas broke away from Tech late in the set, scoring the last seven points to take the set and holding the Red Raiders to three points.

I just don’t think that they came out expecting us to play how we did.

Kansas made the difference for the Jayhawks to snatch the final set win.

Senior libero Rachel Brummit said Kansas turned the game around by fighting harder.

“They definitely got a lot scrappier, picked up a lot more balls defensively,” Brummit said. “It was easier to score offensively for us in the first game then they kind of picked it up and went back to their usual Kansas game of running around and picking up balls.”

Tech senior outside hitter Breeann David had a team-leading 17 kills and Brummit led the Tech defense in digs with 16.

Tech came within one point of the Kansas late in the fourth set, but Kansas closed the set and the match by outscoring Tech 5-1.

The Tech squad faces the West Virginia Mountaineers as its next opponent in an away game November 15 in the WVU Coliseum. ➤➤dgaytan@dailytoreador.com

No. 5 TCU makes strong playoff statement FORT WORTH (AP) — Trevone Boykin and No. 5 TCU have gotten through what should be the hardest part on the field. At least until bowl season.

After four victories over ranked teams in six weeks, the latest a 41-20 drubbing of Big 12-leading Kansas State, the Horned Frogs (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) have made a strong case for one of the four spots in college football’s new playoff.

Three regular-season games remain, none against teams with a winning record.

TCU coach Gary Patterson was asked the same thing in different ways late Saturday night after a win over his alma mater. He kept responding the same way about where the Horned Frogs stand and if his players will be able to handle it.

“If they can’t see what’s in front of them, what they’re going to do and how they got to do it, then I can’t help them,” Patterson said.

“You have everything in front of you. OK? ... We’ve now put it there where we have more offense and doing some things we need to do, and here you go.”

The Frogs were sixth in the College Football Playoff rankings before dual-threat junior quarterback Boykin ran for 123 yards with

three touchdowns and passed for 219 yards and another score to end Kansas State’s five-game winning streak. That put TCU in a threeway tie atop the Big 12 standings with the Wildcats (7-2, 5-1) and Baylor (8-1, 5-1), the team responsible for the Frogs’ only loss.

TCU was up one spot in the new AP poll Sunday, just ahead of Baylor after the Bears’ four-spot jump to sixth. Kansas State was down from ninth to 13th.

Auburn slipped from third to ninth in the AP poll after losing at home to Texas A&M. The Tigers will also surely fall from their No. 3 spot and K-State from seventh in the new playoff rankings Tuesday night.

Baylor, 12th in the playoff rankings, won 48-14 Saturday at Oklahoma, which fell from 16th to out of the new AP poll. Four weeks earlier at home, the Bears overcame a 21-point deficit and kicked a field goal on the game’s final play to beat TCU 61-58.

“You guys are going to talk about that. All I can talk about is Trevone and (defensive back Chris) Hackett and my guys,” Patterson said. “I thought Baylor did a great job. I also know that (Oklahoma leading receiver) Sterling Shepherd didn’t play.”

TCU plays Saturday at Kansas (3-6) before a weekend off prior to Thanksgiving night at Texas (5-5), where the Frogs ruined the Longhorns’ holiday two years ago.

The regular-season finale is Dec. 6, nearly a month from now, at home against Iowa State (2-7).

“You don’t worry about the records. You just go out there and play because those guys are good,” safety Sam Carter said. “I’m not going to look ahead.”

Kansas State has an open date before going to West Virginia, where Baylor lost by two touchdowns and TCU won with a field goal as time expired. The Wildcats then play Kansas before their regular-season finale at Baylor.

When the Wildcats won at TCU two years ago, they took over as the No. 1 team in the BCS rankings. They are likely out of playoff contention in the new system, but can still win or share the Big 12 title.

“It’s going to be about how we respond to things,” K-State coach Bill Snyder told his team. “If there’s some pain involved with this, some mental anguish, then that’s OK. That just means that you genuinely care about your performance and about the outcome of the ballgame, and I think they are in pain.

Romo returns, Cowboys beat Jaguars 31-17 in London LONDON (AP) — Booste d b y To n y R o m o ’s r e t u r n , America’s Team became an international success.

Sidelined for one week because of a back injury, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback starred in the team’s first regular-season game outside the United States, throwing three touchdown passes Sunday in a 31-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

“We had to win this game,” Romo said.

Romo originally was hurt two weeks ago, fracturing two small bones in his back. He started in London to help the Cowboys (73) snap a two-game losing streak.

Romo completed 20 of 27 passes for 246 yards against the Jaguars (1-9) and finished with a season-high passer rating of 138.8.

The game was played at Wembley Stadium, the home of England’s national soccer team. It was the last of three regularseason NFL games this year in

the British capital.

The Cowboys have played outside the United States 10 times, but this was the first game that actually affected their record. With Dallas comfortably ahead, Romo sat out the final 6:42.

“Just sore. Anybody who’s had anything broken before knows it’s uncomfortable at times,” Romo said. “A little banged up. A lot of guys are banged up. At the end of the day, no one actually cares once you step out onto the field.”

Now, the challenge for the ninth-ranked Tigers is to make sure that doesn’t affect how they perform in a season-ending stretch that includes road games against their two biggest rivals.

Auburn (7-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference) has no time to wallow after a 41-38 loss to Texas A&M on Saturday. The Tigers face No. 16 Georgia on Saturday and play No. 4 Alabama two weeks later.

Even more disturbing for the Tigers was its ending, when the mundane turned disastrous.

A zone read play led to a fumble near the goal line after a botched exchange with Cameron Artis-Payne. The play had been a big weapon for Auburn and quarterback Nick Marshall since last season.

“We’ve been real successful with that numerous times, and we’re not going to second-guess ourselves on that one,” Malzahn said.

Artis-Payne said he came up with the ball first but the Aggies’ Julien Obioha had it by the time the scrum was sorted out.

Then, center Reese Dismukes, a senior with 45 career starts, snapped the ball while Marshall was still checking to a different play at the line of scrimmage.

versus A&M-Commerce provided the team with valuable experience before the official start of the season.

“This is just what we needed,” Smith said. “Tonight we got it into overtime, we came from behind, we battled the board with a good rebounding team.”

A&M-Commerce had possession of the ball in the last 16 seconds, but missed a jumper as time expired.

In overtime, A&M-Commerce took a three-point lead in the first two minutes of playing time. Tech continued to trail the Lions for the majority of overtime and trailed 70-67 with one minute remaining in overtime.

Baylor’s WR Corey Coleman proves quite the catch NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — It took awhile, but eventually Baylor receiver Corey Coleman bought into what quarterback Bryce Petty was telling him.

The result for Coleman was one of the great performances by a Baylor receiver. The 5-foot-10 sophomore had career highs of 15 catches and 224 yards to help the 10th-ranked Bears defeat No. 16 Oklahoma 48-14. Both totals were second best in school history, and it was the most catches by an Oklahoma opponent.

Petty, who passed for 387 yards and had a career-high 32 completions, had to settle Coleman down and get him comfortable with short passes. Coleman caught throws of 11, 10, 9 and 18 yards in the early going before breaking loose for a

33-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter.

“With him, he’s so passionate that he wants it now,” Petty said.

“You just have to sit him down and tell him this will set it up.”

Coleman listened, and his patience paid off. He caught two passes for 21 yards in the first quarter, six passes for 84 yards in the second and seven for 119 yards in the third.

“We started making big plays and trusting in what we were doing,” Coleman said. “The short passing game got everything opened up.”

Coleman’s previous career high of 167 yards came the previous week against Kansas. The past two games, he has 18 catches for 391 yards and three touchdowns.

With his touchdown reception Saturday, he extended his nationbest streak to six straight games with a touchdown catch. Those are big numbers for a speedster who sat out the first three games this season with a hamstring injury.

Oklahoma’s defensive backs often backed off to try to keep Coleman and Baylor’s wideouts in front of them.

“They see film and see us beat teams with speed,” Coleman said.

“Going in, they weren’t going to give up anything deep. We were just taking what they were giving us.”

Coleman’s big third quarter helped turn the game into a blowout. Petty completed 16 of 17 passes for 206 yards in the period to help the Bears outscore the Sooners take a 38-14 lead.

“The second half, they got behind us even when we were off,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.

“We have to do a better job covering the deep ball and, again, they beat us on a few. Sometimes it was very effective and sometimes it wasn’t.”

Part of Oklahoma’s problem was that Coleman’s teammates also came through. Antwan Goodley had a career-high nine catches for 92 yards and Jay Lee had five catches for 43 yards.

The running game was solid, too.

The Bears ran 52 times for 178 yards and had the ball for 35:23. Shock Linwood ran for 87 yards and two touchdowns, Devin Chafin ran for two scores and Coleman scored his first career rushing touchdown.

“It’s really a pick your poison scenario,” Petty said.

Jets stop Steelers in 20-13 victory Chiefs rally to 17-13 win over Bills EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — On a rare day for Rex Ryan, the embattled coach of the struggling New York Jets was able to smile after a game for the first time since Week 1.

It’s been that long since the Jets had won, so the relieved Ryan was feeling pretty good after a stunning 20-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

“All right!” Ryan exclaimed.

“Finally!”

Finally, indeed. Michael Vick threw two touchdown passes and the Jets (2-8) forced four turnovers, including two interceptions

by Jaiquawn Jarrett, while shutting down Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers (6-4) and ending an eight-

game losing streak.

“This team deserved to win, man,” Ryan said.

Roethlisberger threw six touchdown passes in each of his last two games, and was playing in front of a MetLife Stadium crowd that appeared nearly half-filled with Terrible Towel-waving Steelers fans. But the Jets wouldn’t allow Roethlisberger to get into much of a rhythm.

“There’s nothing mystical about the outcome of that football game,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said.

“We talked all week about why that team struggled: because they were minus in the turnover ratio. ...

Well, they weren’t today. They were plus-4.”

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Alex Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t flinch in the face of adversity.

For Leodis McKelvin and the Buffalo Bills, they endured a familiar late-game meltdown for a franchise that has had little go its way during a 14-season playoff drought — the NFL’s longest active streak.

Smith, on an 8-yard run, and Jamaal Charles, on a 39-yard scamper on fourth-and-1, scored less than five minutes apart as the Chiefs overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to pull out a 17-13 win over the bumbling Bills on Sunday.

“I think there is something to winning these types of games,” Smith said.

“There’s a different type of confidence

you get when you win games like this.”

The Chiefs (6-3) came out on top in a key midseason AFC showdown by improving to 6-1 in their past seven games.

It was a different mood altogether in the Buffalo’s locker room after the Bills (5-4) unraveled coming out of their bye week off. McKelvin had difficulty containing his anger in issuing a series of profanity-laced answers in discussing how his fumble helped cost Buffalo the game.

“I take this ... to heart,” McKelvin said. “I fumbled the ball. It hurt us. But we still had a chance to come back and win the game. (Stuff) happens in the game. But you’ve still got to overcome it.”
