Perry appoints Montford

Former Tech chancellor’s wife to fulfill remainder of Griffin’s term as regent

By BRIAN HOWARD STAFF WRITER

Recently re-elected Gov. Rick Perry appointed Debbie Montford to the Texas Tech University System Board of Regents on Friday.

She will be fulfilling the remaining term of Mark Griffin, a former Tech board member who

stepped down last year during U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson’s campaign for governor against Perry, who originally appointed Griffin to the board in 2005.

Griffin openly supported Hutchinson during her campaign and even introduced the senator at one of her campaign rallies last

!

year in Lubbock. It was reported that Griffin was asked to resign by the Perry administration.

Montford’s husband, John T. Montford, served as Tech’s chancellor from 1996 to 2001.

Debbie Montford is a past board chair of the Texas Cultural Trust Council, a founding member of the Bexar County Perform-

ing Arts Center Foundation, and former chair of the San Antonio Symphony Board of Directors, according to a news release from the Governor’s Press Office. She is founder of the Texas Tech University System Campus Beautification Program and University Art Committee, past board member of Lubbock United Way, and a past executive committee member.

When Glenn Greanya walks into a room, or talks to a professor, he wears his past on his sleeve.

Not literally; the retired master sergeant wears a hoodie and sneakers like any other Tech student, but Greanya said professors and fellow students can usually tell he’s had a different past than the average student sitting in their classroom.

NATO: 5 service members

killed in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A series of bomb blasts and insurgents attacks killed 11 people across Afghanistan on Sunday, including five NATO service members and three Afghan police, officials said.

The strikes, which come a day after Taliban fighters stormed a NATO base in eastern Afghanistan, show the insurgents’ fighting spirit has not been broken despite a surge of U.S. troops and firepower.

Also Sunday, the Afghan president’s office said the former ambassadordesignate to Pakistan, who was seized by gunmen two years ago in the Pakistani city of Peshawar, has been released and is back home safe.

The diplomat, Abdul Khaliq Farahi, was freed in eastern Afghanistan late Saturday in a joint effort by officials from both countries and has returned to Kabul, where he met Sunday with President Hamid Karzai, the Afghan leader’s office

said. A brief statement gave no details on how he was freed.

Farahi was heading from the Afghan consulate toward his home in the border city of Peshawar on Sept. 22, 2008, when gunmen stopped the vehicle and killed his driver.

“Abdul Khaliq Farahi is in good condition and right now he is in Kabul with his family,” Karzai’s office said.

NATO said three coalition service members were killed in an insurgent attack in eastern Afghanistan. The international military coalition did not provide further details or the nationalities of the dead service members.

In the south, a roadside bomb killed a Danish soldier and wounded an interpreter, Denmark’s military said. The are some 700 Danish troops in Afghanistan, based mainly in Helmand province. A British soldier was also killed Sunday while on patrol in Helmand, Britain’s Defense Ministry said.

Organization strives to raise motorcycle accident awareness

By JORDAN SIGLER STAFF WRITER

See Us Save Us conducted a community motorcycle ride in Lubbock on Saturday to remind drivers in the community to be on the lookout for motorcyclists.

Deanna Jandrew, organizer for See Us Save Us, said the organization was started after her friend Chris Winters died in a motorcycle accident.

“The goal is just to make the residents aware of the motorcycles so that we can get them (drivers) to pay a little bit more attention, so that we don’t have any more accidents,” Jandrew said.

In addition to looking out for road hazards and dealing with Lubbock’s poor roads, motorcyclists have to look out for other drivers as well, Jandrew said.

“Not only do we have to watch out for what we’re doing on a motorcycle,” she said, “but we have to watch out for what everybody else in cars are doing. Because they’re obviously not paying attention.”

Driving a motorcycle is dangerous in Lubbock and everywhere, said Michael Links of Shallowater, who said he came out Saturday to show support for all the bikers in Lubbock.

Taking precautions is necessary as drivers not seeing motorcyclists and pulling out in front of them

are some of the dangers faced by motorcyclists because of their smaller size, Links said.

“I always make sure I have my bright lights on; all the lights that I have. You just have to pay a lot of attention,” he said. “Any time I’m getting near an intersection, I’m looking, making sure no one is going to pull out; you just have to be very careful.”

Most motorcycle riders on the road are responsible, with a few exceptions, Jandrew said.

“There are people that do that, get out there and act crazy and stuff. But I think a lot of times it’s the younger kids, the younger guys, who get a new

crotch rocket, and they think they’re cool,” she said. “The majority of us are 35 and older, we all have kids, we all have families and we’re driving $30,000 bikes, so we’re not going to be acting all crazy and everything. Most of our bikes cost more than our cars.”

Riding in groups and wearing a helmet are both important to ensuring safety, said Rick Humphries of Lubbock, who said he has been riding since he was 14.

The loud sound the bikes make is not to make motorcyclists sound cool, he said.

“Loud pipes save lives,” Humphries said.

Humphries said the large turnout for the event was impressive and believed it made an impact on the community.

“Just the mass numbers of bikes that were out today, criss-crossing all over town. It had to make quite an impact for people to see that many bikes out,” Humphries said.

The ride started from Milwaukee and 1585 and ended at Ruby Tequila’s, Links said.

There were nine crosses put up to symbolize the nine motorcyclists who died this year within the Lubbock city limits, Jandrew said. ➤➤jordanm.sigler@ttu.edu

Indian leaders gather in NM to address challenges ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — American Indians have won some key victories on Capitol Hill this year and should capitalize on them to start solving some of the problems that have plagued tribal communities for decades, said the leader of the oldest and largest Indian organization in the nation.

La Vida

WWW.DAILYTOREADOR.COM

Jefferson Keel, president of the National Congress of American Indians, said tribal leaders should keep the momentum going following success such as the Tribal Law and Order Act, recently signed into law by President Barack Obama, and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, reauthorized as part of the larger health care reform passed

by Congress.

He also cited a $680 million settlement the government has offered to American Indians who were denied farm loans to settle a 1999 lawsuit.

“We have to realize we have an opportunity to really make a difference

in Indian Country right now,” said Keel, who also serves as the lieutenant governor of the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma.

Keel and other leaders from throughout Indian Country are gathering in Albuquerque this week for the organization’s annual conference. They will be focused on raising awareness among Congress’ new members of the challenges faced by tribal communities.

“I hope we can sit down and develop a strategy that will enable us to not only talk about those issues but carry them forward, to visit with our congressmen and our local law enforcement and other

agencies and our communities so they can help us really step forward and alleviate some of our frustrations,” Keel said.

The National Congress of American Indians was founded in 1944 in response to assimilation policies being imposed on tribes by the federal government. Today, the group monitors federal policy and court actions and coordinates efforts to inform federal decisions that affect tribal interests.

Issues on the agenda for the weeklong conference include law enforcement, violence against women, teen suicide, drug abuse, education, health care, energy development and water rights.

Regent ↵

“I compliment Gov. Perry for choosing Debbie Montford as a regent for the Texas Tech University System,” he said. “Debbie will provide great insight to the Board of Regents as a former chancellor’s wife and someone who is actively involved in civic and community issues.

“She was instrumental in the beautification of the Texas Tech University campus,” he said, “and we look forward to the valuable perspectives she will bring to the board.”

Tech Chancellor Kent Hance said in the release it is exciting that a good friend of his has been appointed to the board.

“I could not be more pleased with the appointment of Debbie Montford as a Board of Regents member, as she has a long history of service both to her community and our universities,” he said. “Debbie is a longtime friend, and Gov. Perry did the Texas Tech University System a great favor by appointing someone of her caliber.”

out-of-towners who traveled to Lubbock specifically to attend the discussion.

The purpose of the lecture series, which was started in 2007

by Tech School of Law alumnus Mark Lanier and his wife, Becky, “is to bring to West Texas and our Texas Tech community a variety of prominent and stimulating members of government, academia and legal practice to share their unique perspectives and experiences.”

Tech professor of law Bryan Camp said having the two justices speak to the community provides Tech and Lubbock with two benefits.

“The first benefit is the educational value this provided to the students that attended,” he said.

“The second benefit is for the school and community. It shows the rest of the United States we have a law school and a community that is interested in issues of the day.”

During this year’s event, Scalia and Breyer discussed statutory interpretation and the Constitution in front of an audience of about 4,500 people. The presentation was moderated by New York University School of Law professor Arthur R. Miller who is considered a leading scholar in the field of American civil procedure.

Scalia, the Court’s longestserving current justice, was appointed by President Ronald

Reagan in 1986 and is widely considered a strict textualist in his interpretation of the Constitution.

Breyer, appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1994, said while interpreting statutes, he considers the legislature’s intent when it drafted the statute.

McLemore said listening to the two justices speak gave him a better understanding of their respective thought processes when making judicial decisions.

“They did an excellent job,” he said. “They didn’t hold back any punches.”

Johnson said a judge’s job is to enforce rules and to be consistent in doing so.

“We are a democracy, and we elect people to make laws,” he said. “Judges don’t rule, they serve.”

Scalia and Breyer also fielded questions from members of the audience.

“I think we should have someone there from Texas Tech,” Breyer said, in response to an audience member’s question regarding the role diversity plays in the decision making process by the nation’s top court, considering all nine justices are alums of either Yale or Harvard.

Justices Scalia and Breyer will also address the law school on Monday at 10 a.m. Law students will have the opportunity to ask Scalia and Breyer questions.

Debbie Montford also is a member of the Texas Tech University System Chancellor’s Council, and she attended Texas Tech, along with the University of Texas, during her collegiate career.

Larry Anders, chairman of the Board of Regents, said in a news release it is thrilling to see Montford join the Tech System Board of Regents.

Justices Antonin Scalia and Stephen Breyer were the featured speakers at the event.

“To get one in is good,” said Philip McLemore, a second-year law student from San Antonio.

“But two is even better.”

McLemore said he thought Tech’s ability to bring U.S. Supreme Court Justices to Lubbock will bring attention to the school and the city.

“If you have the opportunity to hear a presentation by two justices,” said Supreme Court of Texas Justice Phil Johnson, “it’s an opportunity anyone should take.”

AS PART OF the International Conference on Romanticism, Tech students discuss the book "Frankenstein", by Mary Shelley, in the SUB on Saturday.

By HALLIE DAVIS STAFF WRITER

Actress Katie Bonna had only one expectation when coming to Texas.

“They told me everything would be bigger,” the performer from the United Kingdom’s Theatre Royal Bury St. Edmunds said. “And it is.”

As part of the International Conference on Romanticism, Bonna was flown in from England to perform a play in Hemmle Recital Hall Friday night.

On her first trip to the United States, Bonna said she loves it – not only the place, but also the people. She said everyone was lovely, and she had never been more welcomed.

Focusing on the life of Elizabeth Inchbald, a playwright actress, Bonna, who also wrote the play, played Inchbald looking back on her life, and played all the characters in each of her flashbacks. “(She) did a fabulous job, not only moving between the different characters, but keeping the momentum, and keeping the interest of the audience,” said Shawna Lichtenwalner, a professor from East Tennessee State University.

The audience, made up of mainly conference members—professors and graduate students from around the country—and Texas Tech students, seemed to be responsive in different ways from those she normally performs for, Bonna said.

She was excited, though; it was not better or worse, she said, just different.

Many of her audiences were not so

Greanya, a junior range management major in his first year on campus as a student, said he is adjusting as well as possible to Texas Tech University after 22 years in the U.S. Army and living in places like Schweinfurt, Germany; Fort Eustace, Va.; and Fort Bragg, N.C. His experiences and job description changed every few years, and he said he was in Desert Shield/Desert Storm and jumped out of airplanes in Panama.

Though he said his time in the military was a lot of fun, adjusting to regular life meant creating an almost an entirely new persona.

“We’re taught structure, rigidity,” Greanya said. “I still get up at 5:30 a.m. in the morning. I don’t have to, but it’s easier for me because it’s still a schedule.”

This structure helps Greanya to consider his full-time student status his full-time job, which gives him a focus he said will help him succeed.

“Look at his character,” said Michael Flores, the coordinator of the Tech Military and Veterans Program. “He’s a real go-getter; he’s very put together.”

Flores works with Greanya in the program, which aims to help veterans with adjusting to colleges.

Though Greanya said his professors pick him out as the student who asks a lot of questions, this attentiveness and eagerness to learn are what keeps him engaged in the classroom.

“I love learning things,” Greanya said, “and I like to see it from someone else’s perspective.”

Greanya said it was his drive and his acceptance that things would not always be perfect that keeps him from dropping out like so many other veterans who return to school on the GI bill. However, there’s another factor working in his favor.

For the past three years, Greanya said, he was in the opposite role in the classroom, teaching military science at Eastern Tennessee State University. This

“academic,” and laughed at different things, while Saturday’s got laughs and understanding at every historical and literary reference made.

The conference continued on Saturday with numerous panels and readings held throughout the Student Union Building. One panel featured six Tech students, three who shared their papers, and three who lead a discussion on Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” and its use in classrooms.

Alexandria Rivas, a freshman biology major from Lubbock, said she wasn’t expecting to read her paper aloud and was a little nervous to do so; however, the room was relaxed.

“Even though we were in the presence of a lot of doctorates, it was warm and inviting,” said Bush Benjamin, who read his paper to the group.

The discussion, lead by three Honors College upperclassmen, focused on what students thought of the book and its applications in today’s world. Bush, a biology major from Lubbock, said it went well, with lots of feedback coming from students toward professors who wanted honest opinions for use in their classrooms.

“It helps direct them with their teaching and selection of literature,” Rivas said, “but not only that; it’s important to integrate students into the college life.”

The conference closed with a banquet at the Overton Hotel for participants. Bonna, however, left before then and said she would stop by New Orleans on her way back to England.

Tech presents Baroque music concert

By CAROLINE COURTNEY STAFF WRITER

The Museum of Texas Tech University and the Texas Tech University School of Music presented a Baroque Music Concert at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the museum.

The assistant curator of education for the museum, Brittany Chunn, said the concert would be a fun and exciting cultural experience for the community and Tech students.

“This is such a great opportunity to experience culture,” Chunn said before the performance. “The music they will play are from very large names that people recognize, but don’t necessarily get to hear their music. So through the concert we’re giving students a free chance to experience that.”

The museum chose to display this exhibition because it wanted to present something unique, said Chunn, and famous Baroque composers such as Handel, Bach and Vivaldi were a great attraction.

The Tech ensemble played selections from Water Music

by George Frideric Handel, the Brandenburg Concerto

by Johann Sebastian Bach, selections from Vivaldi Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi and Bach Double by Johann Sebastian Bach.

“We want to give students a unique opportunity that they

would never get to see,” Chunn said. “But also we want them to support the Tech people playing the music.”

Vivian Torres, a freshman from El Paso planning to attend medical school, said she came in part to support Tech’s school of music.

“I always want to support my school,” Torres said. “But I really wanted to get involved with this event because it’s such a great concert.”

Torres said she jumped at the chance to volunteer with the concert along with other fellow Women’s Service Organization

members and passed out programs.

“I love music,” Torres said. “I played the piano for five years and have this music on my iPod too, but it is far too difficult for me to play. When I sat down I literally closed my eyes and got lost in the music. They should offer more events like this.”

Megan Falconer, a freshman early childhood education major from Carrolton, said Tech makes numerous cultural events available to students, but this concert is one of the best options.

“I have to attend a cultural event for the honors college,”

➤➤hallie.davis@ttu.edu

Falconer said. “I procrastinated on going to one, but now I’m really glad I did because I got to go to this concert.”

The honors college requires its students to branch out of their traditional routines and ensures they have to opportunity to experience arts from all over the world.

“I don’t know much about music, but I know this concert was amazing.” Falconer said. “I have such a deep respect for the musicians. It was such a relaxing experience and well worth my time.” ➤➤caroline.courtney@ttu.edu

Sugarland members settle lawsuit ATLANTA (AP) — The two members of the country duo Sugarland avoided a nasty public trial with the group’s founding member, settling a lawsuit over claims that she was owed an estimated $14 million of the band’s profits after she left to pursue a solo career five years ago.

Sugarland, which last week was named the Country Music Association’s vocal duo of the year, was set to go to trial Monday with founding member Kristen Hall over claims she was owed one-third of the band’s profits even though she quit the

band in December 2005.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten signed a court order Friday saying the parties reached a settlement. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but Batten gave both sides until Dec. 13 to complete the agreement.

Attorneys for the parties could not immediately be reached for comment.

Hall sued Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush in 2008, claiming that she should have been given a third of the group’s profits — a sum her lawyers said could exceed $14 million.

Greanya’s wife, Shannon, said she was excited when he decided to go back to school, something she said he had wanted to do for a long time.

“It’s his dedication to follow through,” she said. “He’s giving his all, like he has through his whole career, giving 110 percent.”

Glenn Greanya said he is still getting used to Lubbock, but he’s happy with his decision.

taking our jobs or something. I don’t really know. But not only are these a gross invasion of privacy, which I will discuss later, but they actually can be dangerous to your health.

Each time a traveler goes through a certain type of machine, they are subjected to a small dose of radiation.

Like getting an X-ray after hurting a leg or foot, these pose no real risk by themselves. The problem, however, is a repeated use of these machines can statistically increase your risk for cancer noticeably.

Additionally, the small dose of radiation is considerably more dangerous to young children. It seems rather silly to take this risk.

Even if you’re not worried about

getting cancer for a security check, the privacy of everyone passing through one of these scanners is grossly compromised. These scanners, which are supposed to make us safer, actually take a full body image and display it to a so-called security enforcement officer.

These images show everything — every oddly shaped toe, every hamburger eaten in the past week, and, of course, the gentleman’s areas.

This, for me, is well beyond a reasonable request. Everyone has something that they don’t think the government should pry into. But this is something everyone believes the government shouldn’t know about — minus the TSA. Any other person who looks at this many naked images is considered a creeper and borderline psychiatrically unstable. And the agents that look at child images are dangerously close to committing a felony. Of course, this isn’t how the TSA views it, but if a regular citizen were to see those types of images day in and day out, I can almost guar-

antee that there would be an unmarked black Chevy Tahoe parked outside his/ her house within the first week.

The strange part of this is, despite the insistence of the TSA that all these images are immediately deleted off the computer system, there have been several instances of these images being obtained by groups not affiliated with the government, one of those being a privacy watchdog. One of the boasts of the system, according to CNET, is that these stations can be remotely monitored, which means that they are transmitted over the Internet somehow.

Of course, you do have the option to opt out of this health risk and privacyin-

Does technology really make college easier?

Zach I Morrison

was having a conversation with my father recently about how my week was going, in the middle of which I mentioned a trip to the library where I had used a computerized catalogue to find the resources I was looking for. He promptly interrupted me with a sarcastic sounding laugh.

Upon asking what the laugh was for, he informed me that back when he was in college, he had to spend 10 minutes rifling through a physical card catalogue to find what he wanted before he could even start looking for it physically. Of course, I have heard of a card catalogue before, and I know people no longer use them, but it got me thinking. Is college getting easier thanks to technology?

This question might be an easy “yes” to some of you, or an easy “no” for others, probably depending on the academic difficulty of your classes at the moment.

I propose that simply asking if modern technology is making education easier isn’t going far enough into the question.

Is technology, in some ways, or at least for the less tech savvy students such as myself, actually making things more confusing and adding stress to the college experience?

The answer to this really depends on the level of organization of the university one is attending. For example, I did my

first two semesters at the University of Houston where just about everything I tried to reserve, file, pay or authorize got lost and had to be redone, sometimes twice. The technology was confusing, with a dozen passwords for any given system, and it did nothing but add stress to my life.

Texas Tech, on the other hand, made everything much easier. Sure, at first it took a while to learn how the systems themselves work, but that is no different than any other program. Once I learned the ropes, everything was easy to remember and pretty much self-explanatory.

My point is technology can cause just as much anxiety as it does convenience in any given student’s college experience.

As society makes technological progress, there are more and more things that the everyday member of said society has to adapt to and learn to work with.

The college experience is hugely affected by these changes. As every field of study becomes more complex in its amounts of

relevant technology, the students studying in those fields have more to learn to become professional grade in their fields.

Of course, the flip side to that is the fact that much of that technology, if used well, makes things easier in whatever subject one is studying and truly makes older, more difficult methods obsolete.

There are two sides to every story, and whichever side the coin lands on really depends on the subjects that you study.

For example, English majors will always have to exercise a large amount of creativity to succeed, and no technology can make that much easier, whereas engineering majors of any kind are constantly subject to changing times and the new technology that comes with them.

The last question I would like to pose links the question of technology in college with the ever-elusive “real world.”

Are the effects of technology on the convenience of the college education system simply cancelled out by the fact that when one graduates, those same advances can be applied for their equal convenience in an actual career in the same field?

I have a good friend that attends the Savannah College of Art and Design and is constantly acquiring new software to do things with digital art that I can’t

even begin to understand. He will be able to carry those software skills into his career relatively seamlessly and still have to update his skills on a daily basis.

The point is that in certain fields, if not all, the technology simply elevates the efficiency of the output, rather than actually creating a gap between what is learned in college and what is actually required to perform well in a professional work environment.

So, has the act of earning a college degree gotten easier over the course of technological progress, or has it simply changed to fit the modern age? My personal opinion is that it is all subjective.

Sooner or later, technology is going to both make our lives more difficult in some situations and allow for an increased level of efficiency and convenience in others, such as finding a good book at the library. It’s up to each of us to develop a symbiotic relationship with technology and use it to our advantage as much as possible because it’s not going away any time soon, and our lives and educations are being steadily taken over by the software and hardware of the modern world.  Morrison is a freshman history major from The Woodlands. ➤➤ zachary.morrison@ttu.edu

Presidential memoir sheds light on drama of 43rd administration STAFF EDITORIAL

THE LARIAT (BAYLOR U.)

Former President George W. Bush’s new memoir “Decision Points” is a valuable and respectable insight into one of modern times’ most controversial presidential administrations.

Bush explores everything from the administration’s response to hurricane Katrina to the economic crisis that began at the end of his term and has had lasting effects on President Barack Obama’s term.

Throughout the memoir, Bush also details personal decisions and family memories from his time as our nation’s leader.

First, being able to admit to the international community that you were wrong takes guts.

Bush said he has a “sickening feeling” when he thinks about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and how that intelligence debacle resulted in false information and false motivations for the war.

He opens the book talking about his alcoholic tendencies — something most private individuals don’t admit to their family, much less something former figureheads admit to the entire world.

The explanations and the apologies in “Decision Points” deserve a certain amount of respect from all — Republican or Democrat.

He held arguably the hardest job in

American politics for eight years and endured domestic, international and personal battles throughout that time.

Bush made an effort to describe what he was feeling the day the Twin Towers of Manhattan and the Pentagon were struck by planes in 2001 and how he was presented with information and what constructed his decision-making process.

By admitting to his greatest failures, Bush opens doors for new discussions about his presidency and current issues, such as the Iraq War, the war in Afghanistan and the economic crisis.

In the memoir, Bush tries to understand what went wrong at different times in presidency, possibly helping future generations learn from their mistakes.

Bush could have tried to hide or ignore the mistakes he made by simply maintaining his stoic silence after he left office in 2008.

The memoir was released immediately following the midterm elections, when Republicans swept the House and made a mighty comeback to the national political stage. Now Bush, the epicenter of many of their pre-midterm problems, has publicly displayed what went wrong.

How this book is received nationally, and how Bush is received on his book tour, could give an indication to election results in 2012 but more importantly, it could reflect the very nature of Americans.

Will the majority still consider him an utter failure or will they finally understand Bush’s side?

It is safe to say he did not assume the role as America’s president in order to throw our economic system into chaos and to wreak havoc on the international system, too.

Bush’s term ended poorly for him and he could do nothing but wait out the wave of criticism until he was out of office.

vading scheme. The option to avoiding these scanners is a pat down by a TSA officer. Instead of getting hit with a dose of radiation, the passenger who enjoys their right to privacy is thanked with a nice stranger feeling them up with gloved hands.

In the real world, this usually is preceded by a candlelight dinner, some romantic music and the removal of clothing. Previously, all this was done with the back of the hand, but since the new security measures, the agents have gotten more aggressive — new guidelines suggest that using the palm of the hand and getting very personal between the legs is a new standard.

This, naturally, is to make all airline passengers more likely to comply with the full-body scans.

The TSA claims these are done by a professional workforce carrying out a trained measure. That’s a load of tosh, and they know it.

If you’re flying over Thanksgiving weekend, I’d advise you to

cancel and find an alternative method.

If you can’t, consider this: There is a National Opt-Out day on Nov. 24. On this day, thousands of passengers are planning on asking for the pat down.

This will cause an incredible headache for the TSA. If you are lucky enough to not be flying, consider writing to our dear representatives in Washington.

Hopefully these measures will put pressure on the TSA to reconsider their archaic stance on airline security. It›s doubtful. When it comes to security, it has become apparent that our government has decided that Americans have no privacy.

Buying a plane ticket nowadays is apparently enough to make you a terrorist to your government. With the number of rights you have to give up to fly, that is the only assumption I can come to.

Women shouldn’t be shoved into own ESPN sub-brand

By MATT COZZI

THE DAILY IOWAN (U. IOWA)

This winter, the No. 22 nationally ranked Iowa women’s basketball team will be televised 12 times during the regular season.

That number could increase in upcoming years considering last month’s groundbreaking news from ESPN. This coming spring, ESPN plans to launch espnW — a subbrand that will begin as a website and could end up becoming its own TV channel.

T h a t “sub-brand,” of course, is women. Yes, ESPN actually attached the letter “W” to its name as if we wouldn’t be able to figure it out. Essentially, the website is going to aim to serve females in sport, or so the current webpage says. The goal will be for espnW to be the main hub for all things that deal with women in sport.

But for espnW to even be labeled a “sub-brand” — and the idea that sports needs to be feminized somehow — is outrageous. The idea that women need a “pinkified” version of sports programming is insulting.

At this point, though, not too many people know about the moniker that is espnW. In fact, when I asked a couple players on the Iowa women’s basketball team, they had no idea about the website.

Sophomore Jaime Printy — reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Year — said it would “give [women in sport] more exposure.”

Of course it would, but at what cost?

A big reason for this website — which will predominantly serve as a blog with video and audio features — is because ESPN feels like it needs to gain viewership from the sex that you almost never see on its current mainstream lineup.

It’s true; only two types of programming on the ABC/ ESPN family of networks draws majority-female audiences, says

“

USA Today’s Michael Hiestand: the National Spelling Bee on ABC (63 percent) and cheerleading shows on ESPN2 (52 percent).

“SportsCenter,” which millions flock to every morning and/or evening, featured women’s sports in only 1.4 percent of airtime in 2009, according to a study from the University of Southern California. In theory, then, that’s like one WNBA highlight in every 100 clips. In 2010, only 8 percent of ESPN’s sports programming is expected to cover women’s sports.

That includes the aforementioned WNBA, among other sports programming.

Sure, Printy thinks it would be good for women’s basketball, et al. I probably would, too. But women already have an ESPN. It’s called ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU. Instead of showing the World Series of Poker several times per week, show head coach Lisa Bluder and the Hawkeye women — or any other women’s athletics program.

Additionally, women don’t need to be secluded on their own network. It’s a myth that women don’t watch ESPN. According to the network itself, more than 4 million women watched the NFL on ESPN last year, on average.

ESPN Vice President Laura Gentile has other thoughts.

“Women see us as an admirable brand that has authority,” she told USA Today last month. “But they see us as their father’s brand, or husband’s brand, or boyfriend’s brand.

They recognize it’s not theirs.”

ESPN is the “Worldwide Leader in Sports.” With the début of espnW this spring, maybe we should change it to the Worldwide Leader in Men’s Sports, because it’s separating the sexes further with an entire women-only media outlet.

Perhaps this is ESPN’s attempt to make money in a market that is largely ignored. If the blog, etc., is successful, it will likely turn into some sort of TV presence.

If women and others don’t like espnW, or the website becomes financially unsuccessful, it will be deemed a failure and crash and burn into media oblivion.

I hope it does.

It’s a myth that women don’t watch ESPN. According to the network itself, more than 4 million women watched the NFL on ESPN last year, on average.

For a long time, they had you take your shoes off, take your backpack off, then sort your backpack’s contents in order of importance into seven or eight different boxes.

Then, when you inevitably set off the motion detector because you left your belt on to keep your pants up, you got to walk through again, then with an underpaid, uncaring agent giving you the evil eye.

Thankfully, however, those days of cheap theater are now over. With an unnecessary increase in budget, the TSA now has real props for their stage production. Instead of a mostly innocuous metal detector, which millions of people go through every day at high security schools and work, the TSA has now installed dangerous full-body scanners.

NORMAN, Okla. — Landry Jones, on the first play from scrimmage, called for the snap, dropped back and heaved a deep pass from the Sooner 20-yard line to wide receiver Kenny Stills, who found himself about 15 yards beyond the Oklahoma logo at midfield.

The pass fell incomplete, but a pass interference flag on Jarvis Phillips gave Oklahoma a new set of downs on Texas Tech’s 35-yard line.

Despite the incompletion, it was that kind of aggressive play-calling that would set the tone for the Sooners’ 45-7 victory against the Red Raiders on Saturday.

“Not a pretty day for us,” said Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville following Saturday’s contest. “We would have liked to play better and kept in it until the second half. But they really got after us. They did a good job preparing, and they took the ball deep on us.”

No. 16 Oklahoma (8-2, 4-2 in Big 12 Conference play) capped off its opening drive with a pass from Jones to tailback Demarco Murray, the school’s all-time leader in touchdowns, to take a 7-0 lead at the 12:27 mark in the first quarter.

During that opening drive, Oklahoma receiver Ryan Broyles made his 223rd reception, giving the Norman, Okla., native sole possession of first place on the Sooners’ all-time receptions list. Broyles would later make his 91st catch of the season, breaking his own single-season reception record, which he set last year.

By game’s end, Broyles had either broken or tied five school records.

But there was still a game to be played. Tech (5-5, 3-5), although not indicated by the final score, made things interesting in the early going.

The Red Raiders, as their counterparts did with their first drive, took some chances early on in order to establish the offense.

Tech quarterback Taylor Potts completed his first pass of the afternoon to receiver Austin Zouzalik, who turned a short route into a 35-yard gain, providing Tech’s offense with 1-and-10 at the Oklahoma 29-yard line.

Four plays later, Tech receiver Detron Lewis lined up where Potts is used to being. Lewis received the snap and darted to the right but pulled up to throw a three-yard pass to an open Darrin Moore.

With just less than 10 minutes remaining in the first quarter, Lewis’ aforementioned pass would be Tech’s first and only points of the game.

“No, not really,” said Tuberville after being asked if he ever imagined Tech being held to one score. “We’re better than that. Again, it all starts last week. They were able to push us around without blitzing, and when you can do that, it allows you to do a lot of things in the secondary.”

OKLAHOMA WIDE RECEIVER Ryan Broyles catches a touchdown pass over Texas Tech defensive back Jarvis Phillips in the endzone during the Red Raiders' 45-7 loss to the Sooners Saturdat at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

After a Jimmy Stevens field goal gave the Sooners a 10-7 lead in the first quarter, the Red Raiders were presented with the opportunity to either tie things up or take the lead.

But three plays for one yard, the result of Tech’s second drive, is not going to get the job done. Tech running back Baron Batch said the team’s inability to put more points on the board is simply a product of inefficiency.

“Just lack of execution, to sum it all up,” Batch said. “It wasn’t anything but a lack of execution, and we’ve got to execute better.”

It’s safe to say the Sooners didn’t lack efficiency.

At the end of the opening period, Oklahoma was up 24-7. Entering halftime, the Sooners owned a 35-7 advantage. At the half, Jones had completed 17-of-23 passes for 276 yards and four touchdowns.

Pirates to hire Hurdle as manager PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates will introduce Texas Rangers batting coach Clint Hurdle as their new manager at a news conference Monday.

Hurdle managed the Colorado Rockies before becoming the batting coach for the American League champions.

He will replace John Russell, who was fired the day after the Pirates completed a 105-loss season — their worst in 58 years and their 18th consecutive losing season.

Russell’s 299 losses in three seasons matched the most in the club’s 123-season history.

The Pirates interviewed eight candidates, but only Hurdle and longtime Pirates minor league field coordinator Jeff Banister remained in the running.

Banister’s scant major league experience — two months as the Pirates’ interim bench coach this past season — was a major drawback.

Against Missouri, the Red Raider defense limited Tigers quarterback Blaine Gabbert to 95 yards passing – in the entire game.

The key to Oklahoma’s production was the blocking performance provided by the offensive line, said Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops.

“I was pleased with how we finished drives, how we executed, you know, just every part of it,” Stoops said. “We ran the ball well, picked up short-yardage situations.

Protection for the most part was good all day, and Landry had time to throw, and he made some plays.”

Oklahoma’s final score of the game occurred in the middle of the third quarter, when Jones completed an eight-yard pass to Broyles for the score. Broyles finished the game with six receptions for 110 yards and two scores.

The victory extends Okla-

homa’s nation-leading home winning streak, which now stands at 36 games. The Sooners are now 72-2 within the confines of the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium during the Bob Stoops era.

Although Tech was riding high following last week’s upset of Missouri, a team that defeated Oklahoma earlier this season, players and coaches said throughout the week they expected to see the Sooners put together a strong performance in hopes of rebounding from a loss at Texas A&M. So it looks like they got exactly what they expected.

“On both sides of the ball, I did a poor job of preparing after a big win last week,” Tuberville said. “(We knew) we were going to get the best shot out of Oklahoma – and we did.” ➤➤jose.l.rodriguez@ttu.edu

NORMAN, Okla. — The score was a little better, but the result was the same.

Like the 2008 game, Texas Tech football was massacred by the Sooners on Saturday in the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, 45-7. The dismemberment secured Tech a losing record in Big 12 Conference play.

“That was our last conference game,” head coach Tommy Tuberville said in his postgame news conference. “We go 3-5, and I thought we had a chance to win four or five (conference games) if we had played well and stayed injury free.”

While Tuberville addressed the media, there was a small TV to his side showing No. 2 Auburn – Tuberville’s former team – putting the finishing touches on a big win against Georgia.

Tuberville, wearing a white jacket with “Texas Tech” on the front of it, took no notice of Auburn’s success.

Instead, he discussed what it will take to make the Red Raiders Big 12 champions in future seasons.

“We’re not good enough on defense to hold a team to seven, 10, 14, 20 points,” he said. “I mean, we’re not good enough to do that, and so we need a lot of help from our offense. But we’re going to get there. And it’s going to be because these guys have laid it on the line, especially the seniors and the hard work they’ve done.

“The transition year is tough, but we’ll get better, but we’re still a good ways from being competitive in terms of winning the conference.

That’s our goal, and when we get there, this group will be recognized as the group that got us going in that direction.”

With Saturday’s loss, Tuberville tied former head coach Mike Leach’s Big 12 record in Leach’s first season.

Leach never had another losing conference season.

Back at Auburn, Tuberville did not have a losing season either until his final season as the Tigers’ head coach in 2008. In between his first and last season was a 13-0 season during which Auburn was controversially kept out of the 2004 sea-

son’s national championship game.

Tuberville’s record also featured a 7-1 Southeastern Conference record the next season and two 6-2 records.

Unfortunately for the Tech seniors, they will finish their collegiate careers with a losing Big 12 record for the first time in their careers without an opportunity to make up for it.

“It’s been disappointing just because we do have a good football team,” senior running back Baron Batch said after Saturday’s loss. “We do have good coaches and, you know, it just didn’t go the way that I would have imagined. But at the same time, I’m proud of the group of guys that we have.

“And we still have two games left, hopefully three with the bowl game. Hopefully we win out the rest of our games and end the way we should.”

Tech started Saturday’s game strong by responding to the Sooners’ opening drive touchdown, roaring down the field and getting a touchdown of their own.

But Tech’s defense simply could not stop the Sooners the rest of the way, and the offense never could sustain a drive like its first one.

Tech is still a win away from bowl eligibility and needs two wins in its final two games to assure a bowl game.

Fortunately for the Red Raiders, they get FCS opponent Weber State this upcoming week and close the season against a Houston team that has struggled without injured star quarterback Case Keenum.

Still, Tuberville and the rest of the first-year coaching staff have said they want to win championships.

“You’re only one or two years from having a good year or having a good game,” defensive coordinator James Willis said. “Sometimes things don’t go the right way, the way you plan it. But those things happen. Our job right now is to game plan, to stay on course, keep the kids playing hard and fight for four quarters.

“We’ll get better; it’s a part of us understanding the game, understanding what we’re doing and getting guys in the right spots to make the best plays possible.” ➤➤michael.graham@ttu.edu

The Red Raiders (1-0) won their 11th consecutive opening game, but it wasn’t always pretty for the home team.

After a 10-0 run by the Red Raiders spanning less than two minutes early in the first half, it looked like Tech would run away with the game. However, good three-point shooting by ULM and poor free-throw shooting by the Red Raiders kept the game steady. The two teams combined for six ties and 15 lead changes through the first 20 minutes. Tech shot just six of 13 from the charity stripe in the first half and held a slim 38-37 lead at intermission.

After giving up the first seven points of the second half, Knight pulled his starters and put in the second team.

Consisting of a handful of underclassmen and a couple of savvy veterans, the second team did not disappoint as they tallied 40 bench points for the Red Raiders.

Tech newcomer Jamel Outler scored nine points in his nine minutes of play, but he shot a perfect 100 percent from the floor, including a three-pointer and two free throws. Outler’s three-pointer came at the 13:26 mark in the second half, tying the game at 53. But as clutch as his shot may have been, he wasn’t without some opening-night nerves.

“My dad told me before the game, ‘Just go out there and play,’” Outler said.

“It felt like high school all over again because I was on varsity my freshman year.”

Outler wasn’t the only newcomer to light up the stat sheet, though, or the highlight real. Forward Jaye Crockett tallied eight points, eight rebounds and five assists in 17 minutes of play, but with less than two minutes to play, Crockett put an exclamation point on the victory.

Comfortably ahead 81-65, the Red Raiders pressed the Warhawks, forcing an errant pass that Crockett intercepted. The 6-foot-7 forward then dribbled down the left side of the court and leaped up for a thunderous righthanded tomahawk dunk.

Senior forward Brad Reese led the Red Raiders with 15 points, while ULM forward Brown, a Kansas State transfer, led the Warhawks with 25 points, including seven threepointers.

Despite the slow first-half start, Knight said the seven seniors on the team know how to bounce back, and he shouldn’t need to tell them what they did wrong.

“I really think we’re going to focus on what we did well,” he said. “We had great second-team minutes in the second half, so I think we’ll be focusing on that. It’s so early; we’ve got such a veteran team; they know when they play bad they’re going to play good, so I don’t need to hammer them, but I think we’re really going to focus on that second team.”

Tech hits the road for the first time this season against North Texas at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Denton. ➤➤thomas.magelssen@ttu.edu

It was a great competition across the board. There were really strong teams in New Mexico and Colorado, so we’re very excited.

needed to win the fourth set to keep their hopes of an upset alive.

After battling back and forth, those hopes began to fade when the Longhorns went off for a 16-11 lead. That lead would be too much to overcome; Texas attained a 25-16 victory.

This extended the Longhorns’ winning streak to 11.

Texas heads back home for a three-match homestand. The next challenge for the Longhorns will be Missouri.

For the Red Raiders, they will have this week off before travel-

ing to Colorado on Saturday to face the Buffaloes for the very last time in conference play.

Tech sophomore outside hitter Miara Cave, who contributed 10 kills on Saturday, said the team can take a lot from the Texas match and carry it into Colorado.

“I think the energy and the focus that we had against Texas, we should take that to Colorado,” she said. “Because you want to win that match, it’s going to be a tough match to play.

So we’re going to go try and get them on their court.” ➤➤joshua.koch@ttu.edu

AUSTIN (AP) — Unlike Nebraska a month ago, Oklahoma State wasn’t about to waste a chance to pound slumping Texas.

Not with so much negative history nagging at them and so much still at stake this season.

The Cowboys’ dominant 33-16 win over the Longhorns — Oklahoma State led by 30 before Texas scored two late touchdowns — wiped away 12 years of frustration in a bitter losing streak.

And more important for this season, it gave them yet another big confi dence boost. The Cowboys (9-1, 5-1) are still on top of the Big 12 South and with two games to play, they can focus on chasing their biggest goals: a Big 12 title and a berth in a BCS bowl.

“We can accomplish anything this year,” Oklahoma State receiver Bo Bowling said.

It would seem like it the way the Cowboys have been slicing up defenses behind quarterback Brandon Weeden, receiver Justin Blackmon and running back Kendall Hunter.

Texas coach Mack Brown certainly was impressed after the Cowboys rolled up 532 yards. The back-breaking play was Blackmon’s 67-yard touchdown in the second quarter that beat good coverage by Texas cornerback Aaron Williams.

“He’s Michael Crabtree,” Brown said of Blackmon, “but stronger.”

Weeden passed for 409 yards and Hunter ran for 116 yards and two touchdowns.

“This win was big for me personally,” said Hunter, one of more than 50 Cowboys players from the state of Texas. “I wanted it badly.”

So did anyone at Oklahoma State who had watched the 12-year losing streak to the Longhorns.

The skid included several excruciating collapses when the Cowboys let big leads slip away.

“We were due,” Oklahoma

State coach Mike Gundy said.

“They’ve had our number for a while.”

The Cowboys play at Kansas next week before hosting Oklahoma in the Bedlam series, a game they haven’t won since 2002.

“It’s the best Oklahoma State team we’ve seen,” Brown said.

Oklahoma State’s only loss was to Big 12 North leader Nebraska and a rematch could come in the Big 12 title game.

For Texas, the fourth consecutive home loss just compounded the misery of the worst season in 13 under Brown. Teams that haven’t beaten Texas in years are routinely thumping the Longhorns on their home field.

Iowa State got its first win ever against Texas and Baylor followed that a week later with its first win against the Longhorns since 1997.

Texas (4-6, 2-5) is in last place in the division and hasn’t won at home since Sept. 11. The Longhorns have lost six of their last seven games. Their 20-13 victory at Nebraska looks more mysterious every week.

Brown said he’ll try to pull his team together for the last two games.

First, Texas plays Florida Atlantic, a team that looked like a patsy just a few days ago but now comes to Austin with a three-game winning streak.

Then the Longhorns host rival Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night. The Aggies have won four in a row and still have a chance to force a three-way tie in the South if Oklahoma State stumbles.

Texas must win both games to avoid its first losing season since 1997 and qualify for a bowl.

“I told the kids we’ve got 12 days left in this season, that’s all we’ve got guaranteed,” Brown said.

“It’s important for the kids to feel like they came back, fought and accomplished something at the end.”
