OPINIONS, Pg. 4

Defensive signals allegedly shared

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

One of the issues facing the Red Raider defense, which is ranked last in the Big 12 Conference in total defense, is that there has been suspicion that other teams have received inside information about the defensive play signals.

Before Saturday’s game against Oklahoma, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury mentioned there was fear that Tech’s signals were being passed around by other teams. On Monday, he said the coaching staff was positive about it but was not sure about how long the signals have been compromised.

“I’m not sure how many games. I

won’t get into specifics on that, but you can deduct what may have happened, I’d say. But I don’t know the number of games,” Kingsbury said. “So you have to continue SMITH to disguise them and come up with different ways to mix it up each and every time.”

During the matchup against the Sooners, players and staff members were holding up towels behind the defensive signal callers on the sidelines.

While Tech defensive coordinator Mike Smith said he was not sure of when teams were able to find out the signals

and no names were given on who could have possibly stolen them, it is believed to have happened sometime after former defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt’s resignation on Sept. 18.

“They have been passed around,” he said. “I know we’ve had other coaches call and our signals have been passed around this whole time. All I know is karma is a bad deal. It’s not right and, to me, it’s not fair to the kids. If that’s how that person wants to handle business, they can handle it that way. I sure hope I don’t run into him anytime soon.”

Wallerstedt, who is now coaching at Louisiana Lafayette, released a statement through his attorney, Gaines West, late Monday afternoon saying he has not re-

leased Tech’s defensive signals to anyone.

“I have not shared with anyone the Red Raiders defensive signals,” Wallerstedt said in the statement. “I respect the players at Texas Tech and would never do such a thing. It sounds like something that’s done in the political arena — blaming someone else for what you now control. Coach Kingsbury and Smith would do well to simply execute their own game plan instead of trying to blame others for what may be their own shortcomings.”

In the Tech football team’s last three games, it has been outscored a combined 97 to 23 in the second half.

Country music band Alabama performs in Lubbock

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

As snow flurries fell down on the white scene of the Texas Tech campus, country music fans gathered in the United Supermarkets Arena.

Fans drove over icy roads to watch the band Alabama perform on Sunday at the United Supermarkets Arena.

Rebekah Talarico, a sophomore elementary education major from Kerrville, carpooled with a friend to the concert.

“I love the snow — I just hate driving in it,” she said. “We already had the tickets, and Alabama is one of my favorite bands. We weren’t going to miss seeing them just because of the weather.”

Jamie Lynn Spears opened the concert at 6:30 p.m. with her song “Big Bad World.”

She performed other songs off of her new extended play “The Journey,” including her first single “How Could I Want More.”

“I knew Jamie Lynn Spears was a country artist,” Talarico said. “I think she has a pretty voice, but I’m more into Texas country. She’s more Nashville style to me, which is OK.” Spears ended her set with her song “Miss Mississippi,” but she also added a chorus of her sister Britney Spears’ hit “Oops, I Did It Again.”

Alabama took the stage at 7:30 p.m., and its opening song “If You’re Gonna Play in Texas” was welcomed by loud applause from the audience.

Lucy Peterson, a senior animal science major from Richmond, Texas, said she grew up listening to the band with her dad.

Collection drive raises violence awareness Hatch, Big 12 discuss student work hours To promote awareness about sexual and domestic violence this month, the Texas Tech Women’s Studies Program, in partnership with Women’s Protective Services of Lubbock, is hosting its annual Hands of Hope Collection drive.

Tricia Earl, unit coordinator of the Women’s Studies Program, said the drive is a great way for people to help others in the community.

“We usually do drives like this to help bring awareness to domestic violence, sexual assault and sexual violence,” she said.

People can donate blankets, comforters, sheets, pillows, mattress protectors, covers, towels, feminine hygiene products, diapers and baby wipes, according to a Tech news release, and winter items such as shoes, socks, mittens, gloves and toboggans.

“This drive encourages a community solidarity type of gathering,” Earl said. “This does become a standing in solidarity to help support our local community and help envision a world without violence.”

The drive happens twice a year, she said, with the other drive taking place in the spring.

“We understand that students don’t always have a whole lot of money,” Earl said.

“We also remind those who want to donate that there are items that are considered gently used like kitchen supplies, laundry baskets and laundry supplies.”

According to the release, people can drop off items in room 125 of Doak Hall.

The drive will last until Dec. 1, Earl said. ➤➤aestolano@dailytoreador.com

BUSINESS: 806-742-3388

Hayden Hatch, Student Government Association president, proposed a piece of legislation at the first annual Big 12 Conference Senate Meeting hosted by Iowa State on Monday in Ames, Iowa.

The SGA Senator at Large Alex Morgan composed the piece of Tech legislation Hatch presented, Hatch said.

The legislation encouraged the U.S. Congress to provide exceptions for college students underneath the Affordable Care Act, allowing them to work more hours on campus, he said.

“If Congress creates an exemption, it could allow students to work more hours on-campus which allows them to stay engaged with their academics and maintain the convenience of working so close to class,” Hatch said.

According to Medicaid.gov, the Affordable Care Act provides Americans with better health security by putting in place comprehensive health insurance reforms that will expand coverage, hold insurance companies accountable, lower health care costs, guarantee more choice and enhance the quality of care for all Americans.

This past semester, Tech decreased the number of hours a student could work on campus per week from 28 hours to 20 hours in order to remain compliant with the Affordable Care Act. “We proposed the legislation because we felt it was one of the more pressing issues that

FAX: 806-742-2434

our students are facing that we could advocate for at Big 12 on the Hill in March,” Hatch said.

“Some students have been forced to either take on additional offcampus jobs or alternate HATCH off-campus jobs. This has taken their focus off of school and onto work.”

Jack McFarland, employee at the Tech library, said he wishes students could earn more money when working for the university.

“I think it’s better for the students because some people needed the money to help pay for school and had to find other sources of income to be able to pay their tuition,” he said.

Jason Mckeown, a sophomore petroleum engineering major from San Antonio, said it is easier for him to work on campus because the hours are more flexible.

“I think students should be able to work more than 20 hours on campus, many students need the income to pay for expenses such as rent and maybe in some cases tuition, that extra money will be able to help them with that,” he said.

The Legislation passed at the conference meeting by 90 percent, Hatch said.

“By passing this legislation,” he said, “Tech gained the support of the entire Big 12 Conference which will help us when advocating in DC.” ➤➤jlaurel@dailytoreador.com

Tech professors nominated for student-chosen award

By KAITLIN BAIN News editor

Dorothy Chansky, a professor of history, theory and criticism in the department of theatre and dance at Texas Tech, said being nominated and recognized by Mortar Board and Omicron Delta Kappa as an outstanding faculty member was touching and humbling.

This award, she said, was a big deal to her in light of the 130 professors nominated and the others who had been nominated in the past.

“I was very fortunate. I had four nominations,” she said. “Three of them are doctoral candidates whom I’ve had in several classes — one or two of them as many as four classes.

The undergraduate I only had in one class. I would say I know all four of these pretty well.”

To be nominated for the award, Clinton Gabel, Mortar Board Faculty Recognition chair, said a student had to fill out an application page as well as write a 500 to 1,000 word essay explaining why they believed the professor they chose should earn the award.

“The stories were so heartfelt and so personal I knew immediately who

wrote them from the incidents they related about what I had done for them and like that,” Chansky said.

“That was better than getting money.

I just went home and read them and cried. They were the kinds of things you want on your gravestone.”

Jacki Fitzpatrick, professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies, was also given the award and she had not seen or heard anything from the letter until the excerpt was read during the ceremony and then later when she was given a hard copy.

“I was deeply moved by her kind words and attention to detail,” she said. “I was also honored that a colleague from the HDFS Department was able to accompany me to the ceremony. This was only the latest gesture of her support for my teaching efforts.”

The essays were read by a committee of Omicron Delta Kappa and Mortar Board members and the decision was ultimately made based on how the essays showed the way the professor affected the student who submitted the essay, as well as how their research is impacting the community.

Fitzpatrick said she felt it was

an honor to be nominated for the award.

“I know the graduate student colleague would not have written the letter if she lacked respect for my teaching skills,” she said. “So, I interpreted the letter as an indication of respect. In and of itself, this respect was deeply gratifying and humbling.”

Chansky said receiving the award helped her to remember that while her teaching style may not be most students’ favorite, it is impactful.

“Well, I think I’m known for being a hard teacher and that doesn’t always yield rosy, positive happiness,” she said. “I think that getting this award reminded me that it was not only all right but good to have the courage of my convictions because these students are proof that things I want my teaching to yield it is yielding.”

Her favorite part about teaching, she said, is being able to speak with students who are just as interested in specific topics as she is.

She said she also enjoys the “aha moment” she can see on students’ faces when they understand a concept she has been working to convey.

“They’re really exercising your brain and making you assess and

Advocacy program competes for next title

By NICOLAS LOPEZ Staff Writer

The Texas Tech School of Law’s Advocacy Program competed in the Seventeenth Annual Pepperdine University School of Law National Entertainment Law Moot Court Competition in Malibu, California, this past weekend.

According to Pepperdine University School of Law’s website, 24 teams from across the country went to Malibu to compete at the moot court competition, including representatives from Arizona State University, John Marshall School of Law and Texas A&M. Clinton Nicley, Tech Board of Barristers chairman, said the Advocacy Program and the

competitions th ey par tic i pate in provide students with handson experience that helps prepare them for WELCH the future.

“It’s an avenue for students in the school to get some practical experience where they can supplement the knowledge they gain in the classroom by actually being in the court room, being in a boardroom,” he said. “I know the board of barristers runs three different competitions.

We run negotiations, moot court and mock trial, and all three of them give you a world of experi-

ence that I don’t think other schools offer.”

According t o t h e Te c h Advocacy Program’s website, the program ofNICLEY fers students the opportunity to compete at both an intra-school and inter-school level by annually fielding 30 teams to participate in moot court, mock trial, arbitration, negotiation and client counseling.

“In terms of intra-school advocacy, the program is just really about putting us in situations that we’ll see in the real world,” Nicley said, “so when we actually get to those situations in the real world

SURVEYING THE FIELD

Mass murderer Charles Manson gets marriage license C O R C O R A N , C a l i f o rnia (AP) — Mass murderer Charles Manson plans to marry a 26-year-old woman who left her Midwestern home and spent the past nine years trying to help exonerate him.

Afton Elaine Burton, the raven-haired bride-to-be, said she loves the man convicted in the notorious murders of seven people, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate.

No date has been set but a wedding coordinator has been assigned by the prison to handle the nuptials, and the couple has until early February to get married before they would have to reapply.

The prospective bride and groom have near-matching carvings on their foreheads. Hers is an “X’’ and his is an “X’’ that was turned into a swastika after he carved it during his trial to show he was “X’ed out of society.”

The Kings County marriage license, viewed Monday by The Associated Press, was issued Nov. 7 for the 80-year-old Manson and Burton, who lives in Corcoran — the site of the prison — and maintains several websites advocating his innocence.

Burton, who goes by the name “Star,” told the AP that she and Manson will be married

next month.

“Y’all can know that it’s true,” she said. “It’s going to happen.”

“I love him,” she added. “I’m with him. There’s all kinds of things.”

However, as a life prisoner with no parole date, Manson is not entitled to family visits, a euphemism for conjugal visits.

So why would Burton marry him under those conditions?

She said she is interested in working on his case, and marrying him would allow her to get information not available to non-relatives.

“There’s certain things next of kin can do,” she said without elaborating.

Burton gave an interview a year ago to Rolling Stone magazine in which she said she and Manson planned to marry. But Manson, who became notorious in 1969 as the leader of a roving “family” of young killers, was less certain about tying the knot.

“That’s a bunch of garbage,” Manson said in the December 2013 interview. “That’s trash.

We’re playing that for public consumption.”

Asked Monday about those comments, Burton said, “None of that’s true,” adding that they’re waiting for the prison to complete

their paperwork.

California Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton confirmed to the AP that the license had been transmitted to the prison.

Thornton said each California prison designates an employee to be a marriage coordinator who processes paperwork for an inmate’s request to be wed. In most cases, she said, the department of corrections approves of such weddings as “a tool of family reunification and social development.” But Manson is a unique case.

Burton said the wedding might have happened earlier if Manson did not have “some situations” at the prison.

Thornton explained that in February, Manson had three violations for possession of a weapon, threatening staff and refusal to provide a urine sample. Further details on the violations were not immediately available.

Burton said the prison holds marriages on the first Saturday of each month and she expects to be married in an inmate visiting room at the prison.

Thornton confirmed that Manson can have a wedding at the prison and invite an officiate from outside the prison to perform the ceremony.

we don’t look particularly inexperienced, and from what I’ve heard from attorneys and professors, you know outside the law school, is that they hire Tech grads because they know what they’re doing as soon as they hit the ground, and that’s exactly what we’re trying to do.”

Lauren Welch, vice chairperson of Appellate Advocacy, said advocacy competitions are divided into three categories: moot court, mock trial and negotiations, to give competitors a chance to prepare themselves for real world situations.

“I think it’s very effective. Communication skill is the number one criteria that employers look for when they’re hiring, not just legal

employers but all employers,” she said. “Moot court provides advocates the opportunity to be able to learn how to express themselves and communicate with people orally and to answer questions on the spot, and to be able to kind of think on their feet, and those types of skills, which I think are very relevant in any profession, but specifically in the legal profession.”

In 2013, Tech School of Law’s Advocacy Program took the top prize at the Pepperdine’s National Entertainment Law Moot Court Competition, according to the law school’s website.

During the past five years, Tech Law has won 32 state, regional, national and international championships and over 30 best brief

and best advocate awards, according to the website.

Nicley said Tech Law recently increased their total number of championships brought home by winning at Stetson Law’s National Pretrial Competition.

“18 (championships) with our faculty adviser in the past six years, and I think our school has 32 in total,” he said.

No results have been posted yet for the competition in Malibu this past weekend.

“Last I heard, now that I’m thinking about it, I heard, I think, that they advanced to quarterfinals, but I didn’t hear anything after that,” Samantha Malnar, vice chair of Trial Advocacy, said. ➤➤nlopez@dailytoreador.com

Slain TV host had scandalous past BATON ROUGE (AP) — With his British accent and precise diction, Scott Rogers might’ve seemed out of place in Baton Rouge, but the Mississippi River city embraced the local TV host and beloved civic booster.

He served as judge for the jambalaya cook-off, raised thousands for at-risk kids and opened his own church. He co-hosted the Baton Rouge Christmas parade and even moderated a 2010 lieutenant governor debate. A 2011 Louisiana Senate resolution took three pages to list his good deeds.

So when Rogers, 52, was shot to death in August by his son-in-law, who authorities say then took his own life, their adopted hometown was stunned.

Then the revelations began.

Rogers’ son-in-law, Matthew Hodgkinson, was also his long-time lover, whose marriage to Rogers’ daughter was an immigration sham, Iberville Parish Sheriff Brett Stassi said. Hodgkinson, one of two young Englishmen who accompanied Rogers and his daughter to Baton Rouge 15 years earlier, lived with Rogers, while his daughter lived separately.

Rogers and his daughter both had U.S. citizenship.

More shocking still was the reason authorities gave for what they called a murder-suicide pact: Rogers was under federal investigation, and a dark secret he thought he had left behind years earlier in England was likely to resurface.

“It was coming full circle again,” Stassi said. “He was held in high esteem in Baton Rouge, and that was all coming to a crashing end.”

In late August, Hodgkinson left a voicemail message at the TV station that broadcast “Around Town,” the early morning weekend show featuring local people and events. Hodgkinson and Rogers’ daughter worked on the show. “Scott is facing a family catastrophe. We don’t know what’s going on or why at this point but I have made the decision to cancel future shows. I hope you can keep us in your prayers as we move forward,” he said.

The following day a woman from Rogers’ church who was staying at his home “because he had a lot of pressure on him” called the sheriff’s office, saying she had heard gunshots, Stassi said.

Rogers was dead when sheriff’s deputies arrived. Hodgkinson died after eight days in a hospital. Each had been shot once in the head.

The sheriff said he believes Rogers persuaded Hodgkinson to kill him and then commit suicide: Only Rogers’ and Hodgkinson’s fingerprints were on the gun, and Hodgkinson left a note reading, “They broke our happy, loving home. They do not get to take Scott, too.”

What few people knew was that Rogers was under investigation by a federal grand jury, and his daughter and the second Englishman who had moved with him to Baton Rouge were scheduled to testify the day he was killed, Stassi said.

Kim Scott-Rogers, Rogers’ daughter, does not have a listed home phone number and did not return calls to 1stCo Productions Inc., a video production company that lists her as president. That number has since been disconnected.

Authorities had also taken away Rogers’ adopted 10-year-old son and 2-year-old foster son, whom he also was trying to adopt, attorney Seth Dornier told The Advocate newspaper of Baton Rouge. Dornier, whom Rogers retained two days before his death to handle the custody case, did not return calls and emails seeking comment.

Obama immigration action overreaching

L

Criticism of president not new to Obama

A

letter from a Canadian citizen was recently published in the Detroit Free Press, and has since gone viral. It is titled “Americans don’t know how good they have it with Obama” and wonders why the Republican Party was able to dominate the midterm elections a couple of weeks ago given that “the country’s adding 200,000 jobs per month, unemployment is below 6 percent,” and “gasoline prices are falling.” It concludes with the writer asking Americans, “When you’re done with Obama, could you send him our way?”

In addition to the condescending title, which implies that Americans are too stupid to understand what’s best for them, the statistics given in the article are very misleading. Let’s start with the claim that “the country is adding 200,000 jobs per month.” That sounds great. Good job, America.

Of course, President Barack Obama himself did not add any of those jobs, nor do I remember a recent piece of economic legislation being passed that would have promoted this growth, but I digress. Adding 200,000 jobs per month is great, but how many people leave the workforce every month?

According to FiveThirtyEight. com writer Ben Casselman, more Americans left the workforce than got a job in every single month ex-

Kyle Jacobson cept for three during the economic recovery. This also helps explain the 6 percent unemployment figure. Due to currently having the lowest labor participation since 1978, according to Business Insider, our unemployment rate is misleading.

It’s also worth noting that during George W. Bush’s presidency, average unemployment was 6 percent or lower every single year, according to an article by The Washington Post. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that unemployment has been as high as 10 percent during the Obama presidency and only this year reached 6 percent or lower.

It is also true that “gas prices are falling” as the Canadian citizen wrote, but they are falling from record highs. The price of gasoline per gallon was $1.84 when Bush was sworn into his second term in January 2005 and was $1.85 the day Obama was sworn into office in January 2009, according to an article by The San Jose Mercury News.

Now it is falling to under $3.

We should not celebrate this. We

should be wondering how they got so high in the first place.

I’ve seen many comments and reactions to the article that seem to imply Americans are being overly critical of Obama, or that the criticism is rooted in racism. I can’t help but wonder where these skeptics were during the last presidency. Can anyone genuinely say people weren’t critical of George W. Bush? Did they forget the signs that compared Bush to Hitler? Did they forget the ongoing narrative that Bush was a dumb redneck due to his speech errors?

The reality is that Bush isn’t a dumb redneck. In fact, he has a degree from Yale. He was also subjected to hate from those who disagreed with him in the same way Obama and every president before him has been.

By no means am I saying Bush was a flawless, or even good, president. Obama is not a good president, either, as a closer look at the numbers reveals. Harsh criticism of Obama is not a new thing.

Every president, regardless of race or political party, will be criticized by some. Unfortunately, a small minority of people will always be hateful and take things too far.

Another valuable lesson can be learned from this: Numbers are sometimes misleading. Contrary to the “Americans don’t know how good they have it with Obama” author’s tone, Americans are not stupid. Americans went to the polls two weeks ago during the midterm elections and resoundingly rejected the Obama administration and Democratic Party’s policies, similar to the Democratic wave of 2006 near the end of Bush’s presidency. Americans don’t like Obamacare, the record debt accumulation or being forced out of employment.

Criticism of the president should remain civil. Nothing is accomplished by comparing Bush to Hitler or making an issue of Obama’s race. What is good for the American people is honestly debating a president’s policies and their impact. Although the author of the letter may not understand, people are critical of Obama because his policies have not worked, which is why the electorate overwhelmingly voted against his party two weeks ago.

ast week, President Barack Obama revealed some specifics of the executive action he plans to take regarding amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants currently living in the United States. Recently, the president has clashed with the conservative House of Representatives, which refuses to pass the controversial “Gang of Eight” Senate bill the president supports.

According to various news outlets, the president’s plan will likely contain an expansion of “deferred action,” which will allow as many as five million illegal immigrants to remain in the country without fear of being deported. The plan is likely to be announced this week, according to a Fox News source, and will also contain nine other measures designed to overhaul the existing immigration system, all without Congressional approval.

Whether or not one agrees with the president’s ideas regarding how we should handle the immigration problem (I do not), we all must recognize that handling such a large issue via executive order sets a very bad precedent. Furthermore, it sets a very grim stage for Obama’s final two years in office, in which the Republicans will have a majority in both houses of Congress.

If the president is willing to take such an action now when he has control of the Senate, what does it say about his willingness to work with a Republican Senate starting in January?

Obama has argued, essentially, that if Congress is not going to pass an immigration reform bill, then he has the right to enact immigration reform unilaterally. This is contrary to both the language and the intent of the U.S. Constitution. Powers are intentionally distributed between the U.S. House, Senate, the courts and the president, so that each entity must agree if a bill is to be enacted into law and enforced.

The president should not use executive orders to bypass Congress on a major piece of policy.

It would be a gross overreach of power to use executive orders in a way that so clearly usurps legislative power. Some liberal Constitutional scholars argue

John White that executive power preserves a president’s prosecutorial discretion for existing U.S. laws; even under this interpretation, the president’s proposed action is approaching overreach.

Furthermore, this action by the president would only decrease the stability of our already unstable immigration system. Any executive order issued by the president can be cancelled on the first day of the next presid e n t ’s t e r m .

Even worse, the president’s order could stand for a short period of time and then be overturned in the courts or by an act of Congress.

This means that American immigration policy could undergo sev eral dramatic changes back and forth over the next few years, which could have a destabilizing effect on the economy and on people’s lives.

Instead of taking this kind of unilateral action, the president should commit himself to seeing the process through the new Republican-dominated Congress.

A large majority of the population does favor some sort of immigration reform. However, this will clearly involve some give and take.

The president has shown himself to be entirely unwilling to negotiate with conservatives. If he was willing to do so, likely the two sides could come to a compromise on this issue.

Most liberals seem to be concerned with legalization of immigrants who are currently here, and most conservatives seem

“

concerned with improving border security so that this situation does not occur again. These are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but as of yet there has not been any progress at the negotiating table.

Instead of prioritizing his goals on immigration, apparently the president has decided he can have them all by circumventing Congress, the duly elected representatives of the American people, altogether.

If the president continues on his current course, the new Republican Senate and House will need to strongly consider their legal options, which include impeaching Obama or withholding funds necessary to carry out his action.

Many scholars believe this type of broad, unilateral action on the part of the executive branch is an impeachable offense. Some in the media have also suggested that the president might even be trying to bait Congress into impeaching him for political reasons.

Hopefully it does not come to this. If the president decides to negotiate with Congress instead of flagrantly usurping their Constitutional authority, likely an agreement can be reached.

The American system was designed to maintain the status quo unless both houses of Congress, the president, the courts and, by extension, the people agree on a policy change that is necessary and proper to the government’s function. If the president disagrees with a law, instead of refusing to enforce it, he should push Congress to change the law, and, to that end, be willing to negotiate with them.

Raising minimum wage has consequences

R

ecently there has been more talk of the proposed minimum wage raise, and it’s important to understand the consequences of such an action on everyone.

On the surface it seems ideal for most college students and others who get an hourly rate. They may use that boost of wages to pay off student loans or simply to live.

However, if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

For example, the direct consequences of this rising minimum wage are not being able to employ as many workers at that new amount, decline of small businesses and ultimately an unspecialized and under-educated work force.

The simple fact that an increase in the wage rate will directly affect the amount of employees able to work for companies shouldn’t be surprising.

Employers are not unlimited in their resources; they have to abide by budgets in order to keep that bottom line from becoming red.

So if that company has a normal workforce now demanding 30 percent increases in pay, that will surely lead managers to find ways to cut costs and become more efficient. The first way to do that is by laying off that workforce by at least the 30 percent its pay was increased.

Kendra Kimberlin while this may be the case, employers will combat this with a rise in their prices. That has not been the case in the recent past.

Most are not willing to pay extra just because their paycheck has slightly increased.

According to a Vice News article, “Restaurant prices increase on a one-time basis of about 0.7 percent for each 10 percent increase in the minimum wage — not enough to affect sales … Prices do not increase by detectible amounts in any other sectors.”

Minimum wage rates are close to the heart of small businesses in particular due to the serious efforts it takes in keeping afloat and competing with those larger companies. “America’s small businesses are the engines of job creation. Small businesses create seven of every 10 new jobs and they employ just over half of the country’s private sector workforce.”

This is reported by the Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy, which also states, “Small businesses have generated Box 43081 Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas 79409.

•Guest Columns The Daily Toreador accepts submissions of unsolicited

64 percent of net new jobs over the past 15 years.” As we see, this will diminish the strength of not only local small businesses and the overall economy, but also the creation of small businesses in the future.

Lastly, the negative ramification in the rise of wages will be the unspecialized and uneducated workforce. The main reason unfortunately is that with layoffs come those who are older and on the verge of retirement going ahead and retiring in order to avoid the layoff. With that, the younger and uneducated are taking those spots, thus having the employer train and put extra effort in getting these workers up to speed on how things are run.

We will see this in Texas sooner rather than later. Steve Murdock of Rice University states, “Texas now ranks dead last among the 50 states in the percentage of adults who have a high school degree. That’s down from 39th in 1990.”

So the next time you decide to side on a topic, step back and look at it from another angle and see if that policy holds up from both perspectives — in this case, the employer and employee.

Tech student composes, produces music

PHOTO COURTESY OF GILDE FLORES

GILDE FLORES, A junior human development and family studies major from Hereford, produces and composes music for television, movies and video games. He works with Ryan Seacrest Productions and Mach 1 Entertainment, two companies based out of Los Angeles.

By KRISTEN BARTON Staff Writer

Some college students worry about balancing classes, sleep, social life, work and sanity. Gilde Flores, a junior human development and family studies major from Hereford, worries about his music.

Flores is a music composer and producer for television, movies, video games and more, he said.

“I’ve been studying reading, orchestra and how different instruments sound together,” he said. “Basically, I’m teaching myself how to play and write music.”

Flores said the first step of his journey was television.

“The first show I did was for MTV. It’s called “Adventures

in Hollyhood,” he said. “I subcontract a lot of my stuff with Ryan Seacrest Productions. I provide background music for his productions.”

Productions will send him a clip or a scene, Flores said, and from there he will compose the background music.

Flores does freelance work and works with Mach 1 Entertainment in Los Angeles, George Matthews, vice president of licensing, said.

Matthews met Flores when he was trying to get in touch with a partner of Matthews, he said.

Matthews owns a music licensing company called Smash Coast.

“His music is excellent, and I was able to get his music on TV shows,” Matthews said. “It

didn’t take long for us to become friends because his work ethic is amazing.”

Out of the roughly 15 artists Matthews was working with at the time, Flores floated to the top quickly, Matthews said.

After composing music for television, Flores said he worked on movies.

“I did some scoring for Marvel’s Wolverine,” he said. “I just started getting into production of movie trailers and have been with a group out in Los Angeles.

They hired me as a composer so I’ll be composing all their movies.”

In order to build his network, Flores said he finds names from the credits of movies and then turns to social media.

“I utilize Facebook, Instagram, and I send them an introduction and say, ‘I wanna learn how to do what you do and stay in the background,’” he said. “I’ll like some comments and wait till the right moment and introduce my music to them.”

Flores said he builds a type of relationship with contacts and then presents his music.

When Flores was 14 years old, he started learning about music from his father, he said.

“I have no lessons. I’ve always had this interest in listening to music, not playing it,” Flores said. “When my dad was in his band he had trouble keeping members so he trained me and I branched from that.”

He plays bass, acoustic and electric guitar.

He also plays the drums and

piano, he said.

“I pick up anything I can,” Flores said. “I toured for a good amount of time, and we played at some Latin award shows.”

During his time as a Tejano band member, the band’s label was Q Productions, created by Abraham Quitanilla, Selena’s father, Flores said.

“I met Selena and her family three months before she passed,” Flores said. “I went into a different realm of music after that.”

Flores’ discipline and strive to be a good student carries over to his music, Matthews said.

He is a hard worker in both school and music, Matthews said, and he is always trusted with a tough job.

“Him being a college student makes him way more focused than other musicians,” he said.

“He’s very detailed and disciplined.”

Matthews said Flores does not do anything without putting all his effort in.

Flores always tries to be the best, Matthews said.

“I think him being a producer and student is definitely a good thing,” Matthews said. “It’s a testament to what can be done when a person is motivated.”

After his time at Tech, Flores wants to open a counseling center, he said.

Flores’ past has inspired him to pursue a future as a counselor, he said.

“Growing up with people who have a lot of problems made me consider counseling,” Flores said.

“I want to get a license in coun-

Although Tech faces a tough

opponent in Baton Rouge, Smith said he thinks the team can gain valuable experience, which can carry over into Big 12 play.

Mavericks cruise past Hornets 107-80 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Monta Ellis scored 18 points, Chandler Parsons had 17 and the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Charlotte Hornets 107-80 on Monday night for their fourth straight victory.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 13 points to become the fourth player in NBA history to eclipse 27,000 career points with the same franchise, joining a prestigious group that includes current Hornets owner

Michael Jordan, Karl Malone and Kobe Bryant.

The Mavericks came in leading the NBA in scoring, averaging more than 109 points per game and the Hornets offered little resistance as the Mavericks routinely scored on uncontested alley-oops dunks, layups and 3-pointers.

Tyson Chandler was 7 of 7 from the field for 14 points, and Jameer Nelson had 11 points and eight assists for Dallas (8-3).
