Appeals court rehears Texas race-admissions AUSTIN (AP) — A federal appeals court has asked lawyers for the University of Texas to explain how they would decide that affirmative action is no longer necessary for minority students as part of lawsuit trying to ban the practice.

The three-judge panel on Wednesday is trying to decide if the flagship college discriminated against a white woman in 2008 by using race as a factor in admissions.

The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to rehear Abigail Fisher’s case because it didn’t properly follow previous case law.

Fisher’s attorneys argue that enough minorities attend the university that race should no longer be considered.

The university said it has made progress only because of race-based criteria. It said minorities are not yet sufficiently represented in all colleges.

Students release survey findings on LP&L

By JOSE SOSA Staff Writer

The Texas Tech Department of Political Science hosted a conference to release the results of a countywide survey conducted by students regarding issues in the Lubbock community at 1 p.m. Wednesday in Holden Hall Room 107.

One of the purposes of the survey was to see how happy the people of Lubbock were with the price increase in electricity created by Lubbock Power and Light, taxes and overall satisfaction with city services.

“The purpose of the survey was also to give students a chance to better understand public opinion surveys,” said Gregg Murray, an associate professor of political science.

According to a news release, the survey

was conducted between Oct. 15 and Nov. 4, and all students who participated were assigned 12 calling hours of surveying, which were completed in the Earl Survey Research Laboratory.

The Earl Survey Research Laboratory is housed within the political science department, and its mission is to provide research services to the university, public and private agencies, and organizations, according to its website.

After surveying 217 people in the community, the students concluded 86 percent of Lubbock citizens are happy with the services provided by the city. Code enforcement, which includes things such as overgrown weed and abandoned buildings, had the lowest rating at 33 percent.

“There are lots of passionate people in

Lubbock,” said Sarah Riffel, a senior political science major and one of the students who conducted the survey. “Lots of people are really mad at LP&L.” This summer LP&L increased electricity prices by 9.7 percent, which took effect in June 2013, according to the LP&L website.

The survey further confirmed how angry this increase made the Lubbock community.

The students found 71 percent of citizens view the pricing to be poor to fair.

Murray said what he found most interesting was people’s reaction to taxes. He found people are more likely to take a tax increase to keep services rather than lose certain city services and avoid a tax decrease.

“People are more accepting of taxes if they know what it’s for,” he said.

Matthew Reilly, a senior political science

major and president of the Political Awareness Organization, said this was his second year conducting the surveys and that he enjoyed conducting the survey and talking to different people.

“I’ll never forget the answers I got,” Reilly said.

Murray said it was no surprise 23 percent of Lubbock citizens were happy with President Barack Obama’s performance, while more than 50 percent were satisfied with Gov. Rick Perry’s performance.

“It just shows how conservative Lubbock is,” he said.

The Lubbock community didn’t seem too satisfied with the local economy, with only 29 percent rating it as excellent, while 71 percent gave it a rating of poor or fair. ➤➤jsosa@dailytoreador.com

3 children in Texas sex ring allege new abuse HOUSTON (AP) — Three children who were victims of a swinger’s club in a small East Texas town have been removed from the custody of their foster parents after accusing their caretakers of physical and emotional abuse, a child welfare official said Wednesday.

A judge in Wood County on Tuesday ordered that the three siblings — a 13-year-old girl, 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl — plus a 17-year-old boy be placed in the temporary custody of Child Protective Services, said Shari Pulliam, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.

The siblings had been living with John and Margaret Cantrell, who is the person who had first alerted authorities about the swinger’s club in Mineola, located about 80 miles east of Dallas.

The couple had been taking care of the children since 2005. The 17-year-old boy was adopted by the Cantrells.

Tech grad serves up more than just hot dogs

Gudgel: Women should use modesty, self-respect when dating

PORTRAIT BY BRAD TOLLEFSON/The Daily Toreador

KEVIN JONES, THE owner of Chili Dog Cafe, started working on the business idea while in school studying restaurant, hotel and institutional Management at Texas Tech.

Jones opened the restaurant, located near Frankford Avenue and 82nd Street, in October 2009.

The Chili Dog Cafe, located on 82nd Street, may seem like a fast food restaurant to those passing by, but owner and Texas Tech graduate Kevin Jones said it is much more.

“We do a little bit of everything,” Jones said. “It’s not just hot dogs. We cook everything to order, cut all of the vegetables by hand. We do all hand-battered appetizers, we do everything the right way. We don’t cut any corners, that’s kind of what sets us apart.”

The Chili Dog Cafe opened in 2009, three years after Jones’ graduation from the restaurant, hotel and institutional management program in December 2006.

Jones said he put all his savings into the cafe and obtained a loan to cover the remainder of the costs of securing the location. The cafe is located in what used to be a coffee shop.

“I have always been good saving money,” he said. “I had quite a bit saved up, and then I found out if I put pretty much everything I had into it, I could get a loan for the rest of the part that I needed.”

Jones said he was apprehensive about attaining a large loan and that lenders are skeptical about giving money to those in the restaurant business because of the large failure rate.

He said lenders are more likely to loan to people who put a large sum of their own money into the project because it shows they are dedicated to the success of the business.

After working for different franchises, Jones said he realized they weren’t for him because he didn’t want to wind up in a corporate job.

“Someone’s always coming in and telling you what to do,” he said. “I really enjoy the freedom that we have up here. If I think something doesn’t work or I want to try something out, I can try it out tomorrow or whenever I feel like it. I don’t have to answer to anyone.”

The cafe does not only serve chili dogs, however. The menu also includes salads, chicken sandwiches, hamburgers and baked potatoes.

Jones said the idea occurred to him while eating at a hot dog stand in Midland that served chili, but the chili wasn’t as good as he knew it could be. His grandmother had taught him to make chili when he was young, and he thought hot dogs would be the perfect way to get the chili to customers.

“Their chili was OK,” he said, “but it wasn’t anything like my grandmother’s chili.”

Jones said he had several ideas for restaurants while in college, each of which revolved around the chili recipe his grandmother taught him.

Victor Molinar, an employee of the cafe, said he enjoys working for Jones because it’s a mutually beneficial relationship.

“This is a really good environment with really nice, friendly people,” he said. “Kevin is a really good boss who helps me out when I need him. I think it’s important to have a boss that would do anything for you as long as you’re willing to do anything for them.”

Jones said even though running a business is hard work, he enjoys what he does.

“If you’re in business for yourself,” he said, “you’re going to have to fight for every penny. That’s what it takes. It’s a lot of fun, even when it’s tiring. If you don’t go to work that day, you’re not going to eat.” ➤➤nculver@dailytoreador.com

Midafternoon at a coffee shop, people of all ages are doing more than just drinking coffee.

The computers they are working on can be used by some for more than just good.

A 12-year-old girl committed suicide on Sept. 10 in Florida because she was not only bullied in school, but also outside of school through cyberbullying.

“Once you put it out there, you can’t get it back,” Shelby Anderson said.

Anderson is a professor at Texas Tech in

Cyberbullying is bullying taking place using electronic media, according to the Stop Bullying website. Electronic technology includes cellphones, computers and tablets, as well as communication tools such as social media websites, text messages, chat and websites.

According to the cyberbullying website, 49 states have laws about bullying, but only 18 states specifically mention cyberbullying.

Texas addresses only bullying and electronic harassment in schools, according to

BUSINESS: 806-742-3388

the cyberbullying website. Nothing addresses cyberbullying directly and cyberbullying is not covered outside of school in Texas.

Annie Lin, the tutorial coordinator at the Marsha Sharp Center for Student-Athletes, said from elementary school to high school she was bullied about her height and being Asian-American.

Benita Dix, a general tutor at the Marsha Sharp Center for Student-Athletes, said she also was bullied in school.

“Two boys just made fun of me for the heck of it,” Dix said.

Having accountability about bullying online is difficult, Dix said, because informa-

FAX: 806-742-2434

tion can go directly to a person and messages sent by cyberbullies are not always seen by other people.

Younger and younger people are getting their hands on technology, Anderson said.

According to the Stop Bullying website, parents should talk with their children about bullying and be aware of what they do online.

Anderson said people take photos, whether good or bad, of people and post them. Then the photos can spread as others share and like the photo.

4 Marines killed in accident at Southern California base SAN DIEGO (AP) — Four Marines were killed Wednesday in an accident at Camp Pendleton in Southern California, base officials said.

The accident happened at 11 a.m. during a range maintenance operation at the San Diego County coastal base.

The Marines were clearing the range of unexploded ordnance, and it was not a live firing range, a Marine official said. No further details were released.

The identities of the dead were withheld pending notifica-

tion of relatives.

“We offer our heartfelt prayers and condolences to the families of the Marines lost today in this tragic accident,” said Brig. Gen. John W. Bullard, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations West at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.

“Our first priority is to provide the families with the support they need during this difficult time.”

The deaths come about eight months after a mortar explosion killed seven Marines during a live-fire training exercise in Nevada.

Social media and technology can be used for positive activities, too. Anderson said she likes to have social media accounts to follow her children and stay in touch.

She also uses it to stay connected

with her children’s schools and her family’s church groups.

Anderson said about half of her 10-year-old daughter’s friends have Instagram accounts. Her daughter, however, does not. Anderson said she hears pressure from her daughter, but she said it will be a few years until she attains a phone and social media profiles.

According to the Stop Bullying website, another way to combat bullying, whether in person or by cyberbullying, is for parents to encourage their children and teenagers to become involved in an activity, group or organization.

This helps children make friends who share common interests with their peers, according to

the Stop Bullying website. These groups of friends can be there to help children battle bullying.

“I couldn’t believe it when I read her age and that it carried over from school to home to the extent that she would take her life,” Anderson said, referring to the 12-year-old girl’s suicide. ➤➤jpena@dailytoreador.com

Food allergy awareness reaches president’s desk WASHINGTON (AP) — The deaths of two girls in Illinois and Virginia from severe food allergies have helped spur efforts to get schools to stockpile emergency medications that can save lives.

That effort has now reached the highest level: President Barack Obama’s desk. The president signed a bipartisan bill on Wednesday that offers a financial incentive to states if schools stockpile epinephrine, considered the first-line treatment for people with severe allergies. The medication is administered by injection, through preloaded EpiPens or similar devices.

“This is something that will save children’s lives,” Obama said, adding that his daughter Malia has a peanut allergy.

Several states have passed or are con-

sidering bills that also aim to stock epinephrine in schools, primarily in nurse’s offices. And late last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued its first guidelines to schools on how to protect kids with food allergies.

The guidelines, which are voluntary, ask schools to take steps to restrict common foods that cause allergic reactions and to make epinephrine available.

“Everything is moving in the direction which adheres to our mission, which is to keep kids safe and included in schools,” said John Lehr, the chief executive officer of the Food Allergy Research and Education advocacy organization.

Epinephrine can be used for severe allergic reactions — called anaphylaxis — to food as well as insect bites, latex and medication. Policies vary by school,

district and state about the handling of epinephrine and access to high allergyrisk foods. Some schools have lunch tables that are peanut-free, for example.

The epinephrine stockpiling is aimed primarily at children who have previously undiagnosed allergies or as a backup for those with known allergies.

“Most people are very accepting, but you still have those people who are very skeptical who haven’t seen an anaphylactic reaction and don’t understand,” said Sally Porter, a Sammamish, Wash., mother whose 10-year-old son has a severe peanut allergy. She and her husband had to call paramedics to their house when their son was 1 after he broke out in hives and had other symptoms right after consuming peanut butter.

“I think we’re coming into a new time when people are going to understand and they’re going to get it, and it’s sad these children are dying who don’t have to be dying,” Porter said. “There’s a way to save them. Just by having this medicine there is so easy.”

A recent CDC survey.found that about 1 in 20 U.S. children had food allergies — a 50 percent increase from the late 1990s.

The deaths of Katelyn Carlson, 13, in a Chicago school in 2010 and Ammaria

Johnson, 7, in a Chesterfield County, Va., school in 2012 raised awareness of the dangers of food allergies. But even before then, a grass-roots group of parents had lobbied school districts, state leaders and Congress for help.

House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer’s 11-year-old granddaughter, Alexa, has a severe peanut allergy and twice had to be taken to the emergency room as a young child. The Maryland lawmaker co-sponsored the House bill along with Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn.

“We think it’s a very positive step in raising awareness, but I must say I think school systems all over the country are becoming better and better educated on the risks that food allergies pose to their students,” Hoyer said.

Children with known food allergies often have doses of epinephrine stored at school specifically for them. The epinephrine stockpile is not meant to replace that.

Stacey Saiontz of Chappaqua, N.Y., has lobbied the New York state Legislature for passage of a bill that requires all teachers to be trained to recognize anaphylaxis and to administer epinephrine. It’s for her own 6-year-old son, who has multiple food allergies, as well as his friends, she says.

Forever looks good on you.

Student finalist for Mariachi vocal competition

By LIANA SOLIS Staff Writer

Mariachi music has been an important part of Mexican culture for generations, celebrated not only through leisurely enjoyment, but also through competition.

Texas Tech student, Rachel Salaiz, is a finalist for the 19th annual Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza, a competitive Mariachi vocal competition that will be hosted in December in San Antonio.

Cynthia Munoz, the producer of the Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza, has produced the competition for the 19 years it has ran.

Munoz said this competition is one of the toughest and most difficult competitions to gain entry into.

“It’s the longest running vocal competition for Mariachi music in the world,” Munoz said. “We receive 700 entries every year, but only the best make it to the finals.”

Salaiz, a senior mathematics and vocal performance major from Houston, is a finalist for the competition for the second year.

Salaiz said finalists are selected through audio recordings each participant submits near the beginning of October.

“Basically after we send it in, we just have to wait a little to see if we made it to the finals,” Salaiz

said. “It’s a very nerve-racking few weeks.”

The contest is based mainly on the performers’ vocals, although during the competition their posture, appearance and other aspects also play a small part.

Munoz said each participant is allowed to perform with either a sound track or with a live band.

“Last year, I just performed my song with a karaoke track for the competition,” Salaiz said. “But this year I’ll be performing with a live band, so I think that will definitely help me this year.”

Salaiz placed third in last year’s competition after attending the competition on short notice.

She said she was surprised and excited when she won third place her first year in the competition.

“Mariachi music is new to me, and I just recently started really getting into the competition side of it,” Salaiz said, “so it was huge for me to do so well in the competition in my first year. Now this year I can only hope to do even better.”

The competition is broken into separate categories based on age: elementary school, middle school, high school and college level.

Munoz said the finalists for each category represent the best of the best when it comes to representing the Mexican culture.

“People come up from Mexico

every year just to be a part of this very different experience,” she said. “The youth of today have taken Mariachi music to a whole new level in representing what this genre really is.”

Mariachi music is often thought of as a group of people wearing Spanish-style clothing, playing instruments and singing “Aye, Aye, Aye,” repeatedly.

Salaiz said Mariachi music, especially today, is very different than what most people imagine it to be.

“Most people are very stereotypical about Mariachi music,” Munoz said. “They think of it as this cheesy Mexican music, when there is so much more to it than that. There is a whole new generation of Mariachi music today with all the younger people we have interested in it.”

Salaiz, along with the rest of the finalists, will receive the opportunity to arrive in San Antonio a week before the competition to participate in vocal workshops.

Salaiz said she didn’t get to attend the workshops last year because of financial reasons.

“This year I’ll actually get to go since Tech has provided me with more financial help,” Salaiz said.

“I think they just saw how good I did last year and realized they could afford to fund me this year if I did that well last year.”

Munoz said winners of the competition receive scholarships,

and the first-place winner will have the chance to perform live with Mariachi Vargas.

“Just getting to work with them is going to be great, so I can only imagine actually getting to

perform with them live,” Munoz said. “Just getting the opportunity to represent Texas Tech and get our name more out there in the genre of Mariachi.” ➤➤lsolis@dailytoreador.com

Gov. signs bill legalizing Smithsonian makes push in 3D imaging of artifacts gay marriage in Hawaii HONOLULU (AP) — Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed a bill Wednesday legalizing gay marriage in Hawaii, the state that kicked off a national discussion of the issue more than two decades ago.

Now, the island chain is positioning itself for a boost in tourism as people take advantage of the new law and the state provides another example of the nation’s changing views on marriage.

“Another universe is about to change for all time,” Abercrombie said before signing the bill, comparing the legislation to Title IX, the landmark 1972 legislation that required gender equity in every educational program that receives federal funding .

Speaking before a theater of invited guests at a convention center near the tourist hub of Waikiki, Abercrombie said he believes the law is in line with the spirit of aloha embodied in the state constitution, and with the values of the monarchs who ruled Hawaii well before it became a state.

“Done,” the governor said after quickly signing the measure following his speech.

Hawaii’s gay marriage debate began in 1990 when two women applied for a marriage license, leading to a court battle and a 1993 Hawaii Supreme Court decision that said their rights to equal protection were violated by not letting them marry.

Abercrombie said he planned to give the pen he used to sign the bill to Steve Levinson, the Hawaii Supreme Court justice who wrote the 1993 opinion.

Evan Wolfson, an attorney on the Hawaii case for the three samesex couples involved, said Wednesday he was overjoyed by the signing.

“I’m so happy that the state where it all started can now join in the celebration and help add to the momentum that’s going to bring the freedom to marry to the entire country,” said Wolfson, who is now the founder and president of Freedom to Marry, a group that pushes for state gay marriage laws nationwide.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With most of its 137 million objects kept behind the scenes or in a faraway museum, the Smithsonian Institution is launching a new 3D scanning and printing initiative to make more of its massive collection accessible to schools, researchers and the public worldwide.

A small team has begun creating 3D models of some key objects representing the breadth of the collection at the world’s largest museum complex. Some of the first 3D scans include the Wright brothers’ first airplane, Amelia Earhart’s flight suit, casts of President Abraham Lincoln’s face during the Civil War and a Revolutionary War gunboat.

Less familiar objects include a former slave’s horn, a missionary’s gun from the 1800s and a woolly mammoth fossil from the Ice Age.

They are pieces of history some people may hear about but rarely see or touch.

Now the Smithsonian is launching a new 3D viewer online Wednesday with technology from 3D design firm AutoDesk to give people a closer look at artifacts in their own homes. The data can also be downloaded, recreated with a 3D printer and used to help illustrate lessons in history, art and science in schools. While some schools might acquire 3D printers for about $1,000, other users may examine the models on their computers.

Smithsonian digitization director Gunter Waibel said museums are working to redefine their relationship with audiences to become more interactive.

“Historically, museums have just tried to push data out. It’s been a one-way street,” he said.

“Now museums are really rethinking their relationship with their audience, and they’re trying to empower their audiences to help them along whatever learning journey they’re on.”

With the cost of 3D scanning and printing equipment declining in recent years, Waibel said there’s a new opportunity for museums to transform how they collect, curate and conserve artifacts and also how they educate. Three-dimensional models can help tell stories and create more engaging lessons, he said.

Smithsonian educators are building interactive tours to view 3D models online. On the Wright Flyer aircraft from 1903, they have created hotspots to help explain its engine and wing design, and users can rotate the object in all direc-

Charles ready for pension, still in line for job LONDON (AP) — Prince Charles plans to claim the government pension he qualifies for when he turns 65 on Thursday, but he still hasn’t started the job he was born to do.

The eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II has been heir to the throne since his mother became monarch in 1952, when he was 3. He is the longestwaiting heir apparent in Britain’s history, overtaking Queen Victoria’s son, Edward VII, two years ago.

Charles became a grandfather earlier this year with the birth of Prince George, the first child born to Prince William and his wife, Kate.

Palace officials said Wednesday that Charles will contribute the government pension to a charity that helps elderly people.

The future king is entitled to about 110 pounds ($175) per week

because of his service in the Royal Navy and voluntary contributions he has made.

As Prince of Wales, he certainly doesn’t need the pension fund. He enjoys control of the lucrative Duchy of Cornwall, a vast holding established in 1337 by King Edward II to provide income for his heir. It brings Charles millions each year.

The prince, who is accompanied by his wife, Camilla, will mark his milestone birthday representing his mother at the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in Sri Lanka after spending part of the day in India.

For decades, the queen has attended the meeting, and Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine, said that Charles saw taking her place as “quite a momentous occasion.”

tions for a closer look.

With two Lincoln masks, the 3D viewer allows the user to adjust lighting levels to see the aging of the president’s face over the course of the war. And a 3D scan of a Chinese Buddha statue allows users to examine and unravel a story carved in its surface.

So far, the Smithsonian is devoting about $350,000 annually to 3D digitization, with companies also donating equipment. But museum officials are working to raise $15 million going forward to move the 3D lab from a suburban warehouse in Maryland to a new innovation center planned for the National Mall. There, the public could see the latest 3D technology and even make their own 3D prints of museum objects in a “maker lab.”

Opinions

Women should use modesty, self respect when dating Lauren Gudgel I’m intrigued by how young women act on a date and how they interpret a date once it’s finished.

How does one act on a date?

Should a lady act awkward and shy, order a salad and leave half of it on her plate by the end of the meal, or does she order the 12-ounce ribeye with a loaded baked potato and then proceed to ask her date if she has something in her teeth?

There is indeed a happy medium. Just act like yourself, right?

Well if your natural self is vulgar and, frankly, a little distasteful, you may want to work on that on your own time. Simply act like a young lady, which you are some-

where deep down.

Do you remember those rules your mother and Emily Post drove into you until you thought your brain would explode? Now is the time to put those rules into action.

Post, the expert in manners and etiquette, was once quoted as saying, “Nothing is less important than which fork you use. Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor.”

You should always expect a gentleman to open your door, offer to pay for your meal and treat you with honor

“

and decency, but if he does not, he is not a true gentleman nor is he worth your time, and you should simply leave the date calmly, respectfully and without a single vulgar word to say.

I know it sounds like a lot more fun to bash him on Facebook and warn all your friends against the jerk that wanted to go Dutch, but it shows a lot more courage and maturity if you don’t.

R e m e m b e r, you have your honor and self-respect to uphold.

And then there’s the whole act of getting dressed for a date.

Modesty isn’t something our generation is known for — we’ve come a long way from the times of scandalous bare ankles.

“

L

et’s talk about dating.

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve been married for three years and have been with my husband since I was a teenager.

We dated for three years before he even popped the question. So, while I don’t have the most experience in the matter, I have great knowledge regarding the methods of dating, and as they say “Those who can’t, teach.”

I often listen to my friends the morning after they went on a date. With my coffee in hand and knowing I’m free from the anxiety and worry of dating, I find their conversation almost enjoyable, like a personal soap opera of the lonely hearted.

It sounds harsh, and perhaps it is, but I’m curious and daunted by the very idea of dating. Who asks whom out? Does he pay? Does modern-day feminism mean it’s insulting for him to pay? What if he takes you to Joyland? The horror!

Modesty isn’t something our generation is known for — we’ve come a long way from the times of scandalous bare ankles. It’s more common to see a young “lady” roll her skirt up a few times than to see her button that extra button up top.

How does she approach getting ready for a new date? Does she leave something to the imagination? Edith Head once said, “A dress should be tight enough to show you’re a woman, but loose enough to show you’re a lady.”

However, she also said, “You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it.” What are you dressing for when you’re preparing for the first date?

Head was an awarded costume designer of the 1950s when sex appeal was still considered quite scandalous, the birth control pill was yet to be discovered and women, more often than not, stayed at home tending to their children while their husband went

to work.

It seems Head was ahead of her time. She was the mind behind the impeccably dressed Sophia Loren in “That Kind of Woman.” Loren was the epitome of sex appeal back in the ‘50s and ‘60s. However, there is a big difference between vintage sex appeal and Generation Y sex appeal.

It’s OK to show a little leg, eat a little too much, and use your salad fork for your entree, but it’s certainly not OK to show everything you’ve got, ask him to check your teeth or allow him to make rude propositions to you.

Simply remember that before he rings your doorbell, you only have your honor and self-respect regardless of how you dress or even act, and do you really want him to take those away from you or assume you don’t have any at all?

Marijuana not very dangerous, should be legalized Graduates face grim future

By JAMIE WANDSCHNEIDER iowa sTaTe Daily (iowa sTaTe U.)

There is an old saying that history repeats itself, and if we take a look back into our history, we will see that history is, once again, doing just that.

In 1919, the 18th Amendment was passed. This amendment made alcohol illegal in the United States.

This did not end so well; many people still found ways to drink alcohol and anger and unrest seethed.

This is happening again — only not with alcohol, but marijuana.

For years, there has been a debate over whether or not marijuana should be legalized in the United States. More and more states are proposing bills to make marijuana a legal drug. As of 2012, 20 states have passed laws to have marijuana legalized for medicals uses. On Oct. 3, Iowa Sen. Joe Bolkcom proposed a bill to have marijuana legalized for medical purposes in Iowa.

With the possibility of the law being proposed in my home state, it got me thinking: “Should marijuana be legal?”

After looking at both sides’ convincing arguments, the big picture

shows that marijuana should be legalized in the United States.

When we think of marijuana users, hippies are one of the first images that might come to mind.

We think of people who smoke weed to be dirty and lazy. The term “pothead” instantly makes us think of the generalized stereotype.

It is because of this stigma that marijuana has such a poor reputation. Many successful people have admitted to using marijuana. A few of these iconic society members are: Maya Angelou, Martha Stewart, Morgan Freeman and Ted Turner.

By stepping away from the stereotype it is easier to see why marijuana should be decriminalized.

A misconception is that marijuana is this big terrible drug. In reality, it is less dangerous than some of the drugs that we consider legal.

When compared with alcohol, marijuana is a much better option.

Unlike alcohol, there is no recorded evidence that someone has died from a marijuana overdose. In 2010, 25,692 deaths were caused by alcohol. That number shows how deadly alcohol, a legal drug, can be.

If marijuana is responsible for zero deaths, then how does that make it

worse than alcohol?

Simply by nature, humans are risk takers. And what is a better way to take risks than by doing something illegal? If marijuana is to be legalized, that excitement of doing something taboo or illegal will be diminished. It wouldn’t be as “fun” since there isn’t that risk of getting caught and being punished for it.

By having marijuana legalized, medical fields would find much value in using it for treatments.

As a medicine, marijuana is used to help treat symptoms for cancer, AIDS, glaucoma and to help a variety of pain. By not having it legalized, patients are unable to receive this kind of treatment.

Research on different uses for this drug will be able to move forward at a much quicker pace if it becomes legal to use it.

So by permitting marijuana for medical uses, ill people will be able to get the help they need. But, by having it available in that form, it is a worry that people will get ahold of it for nonmedical reasons.

This is true, but many people get ahold of medical drugs and use it for nonmedical purposes. If legalized,

there can be stricter rules on who is able to get it and how they are able to do so. Also, if it is completely legal, people won’t feel the need to try and steal it when they are able to go buy it themselves.

If people are able to go to a store a purchase it, the government will be able to put a tax on it. This has potential to bring in quite a bit of money into our dragging economy.

There will have to be a plan on how marijuana would be regulated if the law were to pass. It would need to be treated like tobacco or alcohol in the sense of regulation.

The drug should not be smoked in public places, similarly to tobacco.

A legal age would have to be established, so only people of that age could purchase it.

No matter what, marijuana is a drug, and it does have its consequences. There is a health risk, but there are drugs that have bigger health risks legalized. If marijuana is to be legalized in the United States, it has to be like all other legal drugs — regulated.

If the drugs we consider legal are more dangerous than marijuana, then is the fight to keep marijuana illegal worth it?

Affordable Care Act website, implementation disastrous The Daily Collegian (Kansas sTaTe U.)

Not one republican in the House or the Senate voted to pass the Affordable Care Act. Over 50 percent of the population is opposed to it. The government even shut down for 16 days just because the Republicans wanted to defund it and the Democrats refused to. Yet President Barack Obama’s pet project is in full swing.

You’d think that with all of the opposition he’d have made sure that the implementation would have gone off without a hitch. Instead, for many people switching from their current plan to a new plan through healthcare.gov, it turns out to be more expensive. The website that cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars has had nothing but

problems, and people are losing their current insurance plans.

Out of curiosity I decided to see how much it would cost me to switch plans. I would go from a plan that costs me $150 per month to a plan that would cost me $165 a month. I don’t qualify for Medicaid or a tax break, even though my insurance would cost me 25 percent of my income if I switched.

Luckily I haven’t received a cancellation notice yet.

Healthcare.gov has crashed numerous times and when it doesn’t, it takes hours to sign up for healthcare. When calling in for support you are put on hold for ridiculous amounts of time.

Many people haven’t even been able to sign up because of all of the glitches.

Even former governor of Kansas and current Secretary of Health and Hu-

man Services Kathleen Sebelius said, while arguing that the website has not technically crashed, that it is working at a “very slow speed and very low reliability.” Doesn’t it make you feel great to know that your hard earned tax dollars have gone towards a website that is so messed up people can’t even sign up for an insurance plan through a system that over half of the country never wanted in the first place?

Now onto the most quoted words out of Obama’s mouth: “If you like your plan, you can keep it.” Reminds me slightly of President George Bush’s promise, “read my lips: no new taxes.”

The only difference here is that the majority of American’s seem to idolize President Obama, so they refuse to hold him accountable. If Obama were more like Bush, he just might have been held accountable for the campaign promise he has neglected to fulfill.

I really didn’t believe all the media accounts about people being dropped from their current plans until a good friend approached me one day. She told me that her husband and her 2-year-old daughter were being dropped from their current insurance and being forced into a much more expensive plan that covered much less. After asking around and doing some research, I found out that many people are being dropped. Additionally, I have friends who will face the Cadillac Tax come 2018, which means they will be fined for having too good of insurance. Yet another excess tax that is being forced on the American public, and this is what we call freedom.

Sometimes I wonder if America will ever really wake up and see what is happening, but I’m not optimistic.

The lack of reaction over this mess of a website doesn’t leave me with much reason to be.

By KELSEY CUMMINGS

iowa sTaTe Daily (iowa sTaTe U.)

As students reach the end of their years here at Iowa State, one question remains at the front of their minds: What do I do now?

Some students will choose to end their college careers and start right into the workforce and others will take another route, heading on to graduate school and maybe even on to another institution after that.

But with the high costs of tuition and the amount of debt students have already accumulated, near-graduates must now wonder if getting a higher education is even worth it.

Though students holding a bachelor’s degree have half the unemployment rate of those with only a high school diploma, around 11 percent of recent college grads are still job hunting. These figures peaked during the recession and are steadily declining, but is the slow job market recovery going to be enough for this year’s college grads?

The problem lies not in the unemployment rates of college grads, but in what is now being called the “underemployment” rates of college graduates. Underemployment refers to the fact that an increasing amount of people are being forced into working jobs that they are overly qualified for. For instance, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics reported that about 48 percent of employed college graduates are working jobs that require less than the four year degree those graduates just earned.

So what does this say of our current job market? Are college degrees becoming obsolete, or has the poor economy taken its toll on the number of jobs available to graduates? Those in the fields of science or technology have a somewhat promising outlook, with about 75 percent of those jobs requiring a four-year degree. However, students majoring in the social sciences or the arts can only rely on an average of about 50 percent.

However, just because these fields require a degree does not mean that they are currently hiring. Even students attending the nation’s top schools are not immune to the effects of the economy, with 40 percent of their graduates unable to find jobs in their chosen field of study.

With these statistics in mind, it would seem that students are left with few options: don’t attend college and accumulate unnecessary debt, or get a degree and be willing to work jobs you’re overly qualified for outside your field of interest.

Some argue that the disappointment recent college grads feel about the unexpected underemployment trend is just a natural reaction from this generation’s supposed “entitled” mindset. Despite the logic behind wanting to be paid appropriately for our skill sets and wanting to work at a job we just spent the last four years studying for, those of us in the “entitled” generation are supposed to be happy getting a job at all, even if it is at Starbucks.

But the problem with this is that if college graduates are taking low-paying, menial jobs that other people are usually working, then that forces those people who are unqualified for degreerequiring jobs into unemployment as well. The poor job market has created a vicious cycle of unemployment.

So although it may seem to some that our generation feels we are “entitled” to having a certain caliber of job, perhaps it is that we understand our inability to get the jobs we are qualified for affects more than just ourselves.

It is accurate to say that it takes more than possessing a degree to obtain a job, but when employers won’t even consider you unless you have the degree qualifications they’re looking for, and other employers won’t hire you because you have too many qualifications and they’re unwilling to pay you for it, college grads are left wondering if it was even necessary for them to graduate at all.

While I believe students are better off attending college in order to gain a broader knowledge base and skill set, the outlook for job hunting graduates at this time seems fairly grim. Unfortunately, students might have to be content with their minimum wage jobs until something better comes along.

And while I’m not advocating retreating into your parents’ basement to mooch off them until your dream job comes around, I am saying that the sad reality of it is that college graduates who want to stick to their desired career path may have to do just that: stick it out and wait.

Bears bring undefeated record to Arlington

By EVERETT CORDER Staff Writer

Until the 2011 season, Baylor (80, 5-0) lost all 15 matchups against Texas Tech (7-3, 4-3) since both teams joined the Big 12 Conference in 1996.

The Bears have won the last two meetings, however, and enter this year’s matchup undefeated, ranked No. 5 in the nation and averaging 61 points per game, according to the NCAA website.

Junior Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty said it doesn’t matter to them what the team is ranked because they

will prepare with the same intensity for every game.

“I really don’t think it would matter if we were ranked (No.) 4 or ranked (No.) 24 or No. 1. I think we’re going to come out here every week prepared and ready to go,” Petty said. “Having that mentality going in each and every week has been a point of emphasis on why we’ve done so good and we have to keep that up.”

The Bears face the Red Raiders after losing two of their main offensive weapons. Junior running back Lache Seastrunk is listed as questionable for Saturday, and senior wide receiver Tevin Reese is out for

the rest of the regular season with a dislocated right wrist, according to ESPN. Baylor coach Art Briles said his team has to show its depth during the game Saturday, but he is sure it has plenty of talent to back up the injured players.

“What we’ve got to do is figure out who we’re going to lean on, how we’re going to lean on them and when we’re going to lean on them,” Briles said. “That’s the situation. We do have players who are very capable, and it’s a good chance for them to show their competence — how they can help us and contribute with their

accomplishments.”

Most of the Bears’ injuries happened during the first half, so the players who will step up this week received significant playing time against Oklahoma. One of those players is freshman running back Shock Linwood.

In his two- and one-half quarters of play against the Sooners, Linwood had a career-high 23 carries for 182 yards, earning him the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week award, but Briles said anybody who has watched the team play wasn’t surprised by his performance.

Linwood said he worked hard

during the practices leading up to the game last week and plans to receive a lot more carries Saturday against the Red Raiders. “(My performance against Oklahoma came) from how I carried myself through the week with learning what the defense was doing, what we were going to do with our offense,” he said.

While their offense leads the nation in scoring points, the Bears’ defense also doesn’t allow opponents to score very many points, allowing 15.4 points per game.

Briles said defensive coordinator Phil Bennett has brought stability

and experience to the team and his commitment helps the entire team focus and become better.

“Like I’ve said many times, you can have all the money in the world, but you can’t buy experience,” Briles said. “You’ve got to live it, taste it and feel it. (Bennett) has got a great knowledge of the game and he’s a tireless worker that’s driven to succeed. That bleeds off on the staff and the players on that side of the ball.”

The Bears and the Red Raiders kick off at 6 p.m. Saturday in AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The game will be broadcast on FOX. ➤➤ecorder@dailytoreador.com

Former NFL WR Sam Hurd gets 15 years in drug case DALLAS (AP) — Former NFL wide receiver Sam Hurd was sentenced Wednesday to 15 years in prison for his role in starting a drugdistribution scheme while playing for the Chicago Bears, completing a steep downfall that ended his football career and left his future in tatters.

Hurd, 28, received the punishment in a federal courtroom in Dallas after pleading guilty in April to one count of trying to buy and distribute large amounts of cocaine and marijuana. The charge carried a minimum 10-year sentence and a maximum of life.

Authorities say that while NFL teammates and friends knew him as a hardworking wide receiver and married father, Hurd was fashioning a separate identity as a wannabe drug kingpin with a focus on “high-end deals” and a need for large amounts of drugs.

U.S. District Judge Jorge Solis gave Hurd a much shorter sentence than the 27 to 34 years recommended by federal sentencing guidelines. Solis noted that the case against Hurd centered on a “lot of agreements” to buy and sell marijuana and cocaine, rather than physical transactions of drugs.

But, the judge said, “You didn’t just start nickel and diming it.”

Hurd stood before him in orange

jail scrubs after a rambling, emotional 30-minute plea for mercy. Behind him in the gallery were more than a dozen family members and friends.

“You had everything going for you,” Solis told Hurd, adding that he thought the case was a “tragedy.”

Hurd’s December 2011 arrest outside a suburban Chicago steakhouse came after he tried to buy a kilogram of cocaine in what turned out to be a sting. According to a federal complaint, Hurd told an undercover agent that he wanted 5 to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week to distribute in the Chicago area. He claimed he

was already distributing 4 kilograms a week, according to the complaint. A kilogram is about 2.2 pounds.

At the time, Hurd was a wide receiver with stints for the Bears and Dallas Cowboys who had played most of his five seasons on special teams.

He was in the first year of a three-year contract reportedly worth more than $5 million.

The Bears soon cut him. Hurd was released on bail and returned to Texas, where he grew up, but soon fell into trouble again, according to court documents. He allegedly tried to buy more cocaine and marijuana through a cousin, Jesse Tyrone Chavful, and

failed two drug tests. That led a magistrate judge in August 2012 to revoke his bail and order him returned to jail.

Hurd spoke near the end of a fourhour hearing, sometimes reading from handwritten notes and sometimes looking directly at Solis to plead for mercy.

While he denied leading a major conspiracy or dealing with Chavful,

Hurd admitted to having a marijuana addiction and a weakness for friends who needed his help. He admitted giving $88,000 to another co-defendant, Toby Lujan, knowing that the money might go to buy drugs. And he admitted the fateful meeting at a steakhouse that ended in his arrest.

“I regret not thinking about the consequences,” Hurd said, adding:

“I made some dumb, very bad decisions.”

His attorneys tried to explain his claims of having high-value customers and massive demand for drugs as mere boasting, saying he had a penchant for exaggeration. One of his lawyers, Michael McCrum, called his client “a guy showing up at a restaurant, talking stupid.”

The Texas Tech basketball team hits the road for the first time this season, playing the Alabama Crimson Tide at 8 p.m. today in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The Red Raiders are 2-0 after beating Houston Baptist and Northern Arizona in the United Spirit Arena during their first two games with first-year Tech coach Tubby Smith.

Although the team had a solid start for the year, senior forward Jaye Crockett said they are far from satisfied.

“We have to put those wins behind us and focus on what we have ahead of us,” he said. “We know Alabama’s going to be a lot tougher than the games that we had previously, plus it’s our first time on the road.”

Sophomore guard Dusty Hannahs said playing on the road will help strengthen the team’s chemistry.

“It’ll be a cool thing for us,” he said. “We’re a really tight team.

We’re always with each other and love playing with each other. This is something that will probably tighten us even more. Hopefully we can go into this environment and get a win, bring us that much closer and get us more ready.”

Texas Tech is 1-6 all-time versus Alabama, but coach Smith has a winning record against the team with nine wins and five losses, according to a news release.

Smith said the main goal against Alabama is for the team to improve.

“As every coach, you expect your team to get better,” he said.

“We don’t want to take a step backwards. Win or lose, we want to make sure our guys compete, play hard, play smart and keep playing together.

“I’ve noticed with this team, even when we got behind in a game or it’s a tight game, no one is trying to take the game over. It’s a byproduct of guys playing as one.

That’s a characteristic that we’re trying to develop because we are much better when we’re playing together than when we’re playing as individuals. That’s what teamwork is all about. I hope we can play the way we’ve been playing, but better.”

After having 19 assists as a team during the last game, it is obvious the players are listening to Smith about the value of playing unselfish basketball.

Crockett said the team has the utmost respect for Smith and the players are starting to understand how he wants the team to play.

The Red Raiders have had good

offensive numbers from a variety of players — four averaging 10 points or more through the first two games: Hannahs, Crockett, Robert Turner and Jordan Tolbert.

Hannahs said this year’s team understands how important it is to play as one.

“Last year, we weren’t moving as much on offense,” he said. “This year, everyone is touching the ball every time we get it. Coach always says six passes is going to get you a great shot. The more we pass it, the better looks we get and it makes you look better.”

Tech shot the ball effectively during its last game, totaling 12 3-pointers Monday against Northern Arizona on 22 attempts, finishing 54.5 percent from deep.

Smith said the team would have a good chance to come away with a win if it continues to shoot the ball well.

“If we can shoot the ball like we did the other night, then we’ll have a good chance to win the game.”

Although Alabama is 0-1 after losing to Oklahoma in its first game, the Crimson Tide will have confidence because they beat the Red Raiders 66-62 when the two teams faced each other last year in Lubbock.

Crockett said he remembers the loss and tonight’s game is a chance for redemption.

“It was close, we should have won it,” he said. “This is the perfect time to get some payback.”

The game will air nationally on ESPN2.

Hannahs said playing on televi-

sion will have him more hyped for the game.

“Being on ESPN is something you dream about as a kid,” he said.

“Once the game goes on, you forget it’s ESPN, but before the game, it

has you thinking about it. I mean, no one wants to look like a fool on ESPN. We’re just going to out there, play hard and represent Texas Tech.” ➤➤rrose@dailytoreador.com

Battle’s double-double leads Tech to victory against New Mexico

By MICHAEL DUPONT II SportS editor

The distance from Cibola High School, where junior guard Amber Battle attended school, to New Mexico University is roughly 13 miles.

Battle seized the opportunity to dominate her hometown school when her 17 points and 14 rebounds guided

Texas Tech (2-0) to a 64-56 victory against New Mexico (1-1) on Wednesday in the United Spirit Arena.

Competing against many of the players she spent her childhood with presented a unique opportunity, she said.

“It is kind of special for me,” Battle said. “I played with or against most of those girls since I was in middle school,

so for them to come in here — for us to protect our house — it was really important to me especially. So it felt good.”

Battle led the Lady Raiders in scoring and rebounding and redshirt freshman guard Minta Spears added 16 points and five rebounds.

Tech allowed New Mexico to shoot 16.7 percent from the field in the first half. The Lady Lobos were 6-36 at halftime.

The Lady Raiders coaching staff was responsible for the defensive prowess Tech displayed, Spears said.

“I thought the coaches did an awesome job of preparing us for the game,” she said. “We knew who the shooters were, who the drivers were, their postplayer tendencies and stuff, so I think the team did a really good job of looking at the scouting information and applying that to the game.”

Tech turned the ball over 28 times and New Mexico scored 23 points off those turnovers in an effort to narrow the Lady Raiders 27-16 halftime lead.

The Lady Lobos went on an 11-2

run during a three-minute span to open the second half that narrowed the Lady Raiders lead to 31-29.

However, Battle’s 10 points in the second half, combined with Lockhart’s 11 rallied the Lady Raiders to victory.

Battle leads Tech in such a variety of ways that its essential she’s on the court, Tech coach Candace Whitaker said.

“Amber just has to be on the floor,” she said. “She’s rebounding, she’s scoring, she’s defending. She’s just doing a great job in all areas.”

Whitaker said she’s proud the Lady Raiders continue to rise to adversity when the ball doesn’t necessarily bounce their way.

This type of play can carry into Big 12 Conference play, she said.

“I’d like to maintain leads and grow them,” she said. “But I think it does speak a lot to our character and to the fight that this team has and that they want to win and be great. I mean, we’re young and we had a big-time lapse when we started the second half. But they did fight back and it’s great to be in a position, game situations like we

ies like theirs and bigger in Big 12 and we’re going to have to take care of the basketball a lot better to be able to stay in games and compete.”

This establishment, Texas Tech University & The Daily Toreador do not encourage underage drinking or alcohol abuse.

Baylor coach Art Briles has a new 10-year contract with the fourthranked Bears, the team he has taken from perennial Big 12 loser to the conference’s lone remaining undefeated team.

Briles told The Associated Press on Wednesday night he is really “humbled and blessed” by the new deal that goes into effect after this season.

“It allows us to do what our job is, concentrate on Texas Tech this Saturday,” Briles said. “We feel fortunate to be at Baylor, and are glad the feeling is mutual.”

Baylor regents approved the deal Wednesday. Financial terms weren’t revealed, which is standard policy for the private university.

When Briles arrived at Baylor six years ago, the Bears had just finished their 12th consecutive losing season under four coaches since the inception of the Big 12.

Briles is 41-30 at Baylor, which is 8-0 for the first time in school history.

The Bears are fifth in the BCS standings and have won a school-record 12 games in a row. Briles’ fast-paced spread offense has turned Baylor into a national title contender this season. The Bears are averaging 61 points, on pace to break a major college football record.

The 10-year deal goes through the 2023 season. Briles had already been signed for multiple seasons past this year.

“We’ve got a lot of bridges to cross.

We feel like we’re in the infant stages of our program, without question,” said Briles, who turns 58 next month.

“That’s what makes it exciting.”

After playing Texas Tech in the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium this weekend, the Bears have games left at 12thranked Oklahoma State and TCU.
