Senate Democrats reject bill to build oil pipeline WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democrat-controlled Senate has defeated a bill to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

The Senate’s 59-41 vote Tuesday night was a nail-biter to the end.

The bill needed 60 votes to reach the White House. The House passed it overwhelmingly last week.

President Barack Obama did not support the bill, but the White House has been mum on whether or not he will veto it.

Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu pushed for the vote in an effort to save her seat in a Dec. 6 runoff election in Louisiana.

She faces an uphill battle against Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy, who authored the House bill.

Before paper was produced commercially like in modern times, it was made by hand.

The Peace Paper Project helps individuals make paper by hand using old pieces of clothing, according to its website, and participants can then print or draw on their sheet of paper.

Drew Matott, co-founder of the Peace Paper Project, said he has been making paper by hand since 1998 as part of his undergraduate studies.

“My father had been killed in a car accident when I was younger,” he said. “I asked my family what they thought about taking old materials he had left behind like garments and making them into paper

Making a book using his father’s clothes was a special bonding experience for his family, and Matott said this made him realize the way papermaking can unite a community to work through loss.

In 2006, Matott had a friend come back from Iraq and help him with his papermaking business once a week, he said.

“One day he brought in his desert camouflage uniform, and he pulped it,” he said.

“He got about 250 sheets of paper out of it and starting sharing them with veterans.

The next thing we knew we had veterans showing up from across the country wanting to participate.”

With the fall semester winding down, current Texas Tech students have the opportunity to apply for scholarships for the 2014-2015 school year.

Scholarships are offered to current students on the university, college and departmental level, though scholarships can be earned from a third-party source outside of Tech, Jennifer Fauls, assistant director at the Tech scholarship office, said.

Students are encouraged to apply well before the university application deadline, which is Feb. 1 of every

year, she said.

“I typically advise students to be sure it’s (application) done before they head back to campus for the spring semester,” she said.

KIBITLEWSKI As the Thanksgiving break is just around the corner, Fauls said it would be a good idea to use that time, as well as the time students are on vacation for winter break, to finish scholarship applications early.

Tech climate scientist included in Leading Global Thinkers list Katherine Hayhoe, director of Texas Tech’s Climate Science program and a climate scientist, was named one of the 100 Leading Global Thinkers of 2014 by Foreign Policy magazine Monday.

She was included on the list under the “Naturals” category, which focuses on events that disrupt global order in different ways, according to a Tech news release. Hayhoe’s research is centered on climate change on a regional to local level, weighing the impact and analyzing it for policies. She also shares the importance of climate changes in her research, particularly for those who are susceptible to the changes.

“I am honored to be named to a list that has always included so many outstanding ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

leaders in the fields of climate science and sustainability,” Hayhoe said in the release. “We need global thinkers from every continent and field of study to help us prepare for a changing climate, and to develop the technological and policy innovations we need to leave behind the outdated and polluting sources of energy that are causing this problem.”

Earlier this year, Hayhoe was included on Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People list, according to Time’s website. In the article, Hayhoe’s religious background and scientific work were discussed.

Hayhoe received an award from Foreign Policy in Washington, D.C., and will be featured on the website and in the magazine. ➤➤mmorris@dailytoreador.com

ATTENDEES LISTEN TO Rabbi Hillel Katzir during the Israel vs. Palestine debate forum hosted by PoliTech on Tuesday in the Escondido Theatre.

By JONATHAN LAUREL Staff Writer

PoliTech, a new student organization at Texas Tech, hosted an Israel vs. Palestine debate forum Tuesday night in the Escondido Theatre in the Student Union building.

The organization has gained notoriety by making a video, which showed how unaware some of Tech’s students were of history and current events, Raul Cevallos, president of PoliTech, said.

“PoliTech is a non-partisan political organization that focuses on bringing important political information to students,” he said.

The debate is the first event PoliTech has hosted after releasing its Texas Tech politically challenged video.

The Israel and Palestine conflict is a hot topic and one many students are unaware of

FAX: 806-742-2434

as a result of many distractions prevalent in the media, Cevallos said.

The night began with opening speaker Paul Bjerk, an associate professor of world and African history at Tech.

“The only way to move forward politically is to use the conjunction of and when talking about the conflict between Israel and Palestine,” he said.

Bjerk began the debate with a moment of silence after emphasizing it is important to realize that many people on both sides of the conflict can recognize each other’s humanity.

Imam Samer Ahabaa, a Muslim and Syrian native, represented the Islamic point of view in the debate and attempted to make it clear to audiences that not every Muslim hates Jews.

Pedestrian safety is important on campus

By NICOLAS LOPEZ Staff Writer

In a recent survey of U.S. teens, 40 percent say they have been hit or almost hit by a motor vehicle or bicycle while walking.

According to a recent Safe Kids Worldwide study, nearly half of those surveyed admit to crossing the street while being distracted by a mobile device.

David Tripple, a Lubbock resident, said he regularly sees students distracted by their phones while crossing the street.

“I think every day I see somebody that’s, you know, they’re looking at their phone and they’re

just kind of in their own world and look up every once in awhile and kind of realize where they are, in the middle of the street or in the middle of the sidewalk or running into people,” he said.

“Crossing the street in particular, I don’t know that I’ve seen people, I’ve seen people do that in the crosswalks, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen somebody not at a crosswalk on their phone in the middle of the street.”

Data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, a database maintained by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission, shows emergency room visits as a result of pedestri-

ans being injured while walking with cell phones increased by almost 600 percent between 2005 and 2010.

The NEISS compiles injury data from 100 hospitals across the U.S. Jeremy Frisa, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from Austin, said he thinks people can be careless when crossing the street but he does not feel that it is intentional.

“I haven’t quite seen a lot of students just walk in front of buses or cars intentionally, but I’m sure it probably happens sometimes,” he said. “I’ve seen some people give the cars that are

stopping for them like a glance to make sure that they are stopping, just to, I don’t know, make sure that they’re not walking out in stupidity or just looking at their own phone not realizing what’s going on.”

Distracted walking is not the only thing that pedestrians need to be aware of. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 71 percent of young people have sent text messages while driving and 78 percent of young adults report that they have read a text message while driving.

Texas to allow inmate weddings in prison HOUSTON (AP) — Texas plans to allow marriage ceremonies inside prisons between an inmate and an intended spouse who isn’t incarcerated, officials disclosed Tuesday.

Inmates in Texas historically have been allowed to marry by proxy, meaning someone stood in for the prisoner at a ceremony held somewhere other than the penitentiary. But a state law that took effect a year ago and requires both parties be present for a marriage ceremony has had the unintended consequence of halting proxy marriages in Texas prisons.

At the same time, U.S. Supreme Court rulings have upheld prisoners’ right to marry.

State prison officials said they’re framing the new rules now.

“Given the restrictions and un-

derstanding offenders have a legal right to marry, the agency is drafting a policy that allows an inmate to marry a non-incarcerated person within our facilities,” agency spokesman Jason Clark said.

Texas prison officials long have said weddings inside prisons would be a security risk and barred them, appearing to leave Texas unique at least among states with large prison populations.

No timetable was announced for the policy change.

Rebecca L. Robertson, legal and policy director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, said the Texas Department of Criminal Justice was doing the right thing.

“We know that prisoners with strong family connections are more likely to succeed when

they’re released, and allowing prisoners to marry is one important way TDCJ can encourage and support those family bonds,” she said.

According to the plans, the marriages would have to comply with prison visitation rules, be consistent with the prisoner’s visitation status and require no special amenities.

For example, a death row inmate is not allowed any outside contact. While the inmate could get married under the new policy, the prisoner still would be separated by glass and be allowed no contact with a spouse.

Rules already on the books don’t allow conjugal visits.

The spouse would have to obtain the marriage license, make arrangements for someone to

conduct the nuptials and be responsible for any payment to that person. Prison chaplains would not be involved, Clark said.

Attendance would be limited to the offender, the spouse and the person conducting the ceremony.

“Some of the other details are still being worked out at this point,” he said.

The state law that took effect in September 2013 was intended to keep people from fraudulently marrying someone and cashing in on the unwitting spouse’s benefits.

The impetus for the law came from children of an elderly man who complained to a legislator that an East Texas woman who had been their father’s caregiver for several years fraudulently married him by proxy to collect financial benefits.

“This conflict is not just about land,” Ahaba said. “It stretches deeper in complexities of religions and politics.”

In reference to the three main religions of the world, it is taught that through the sons of Abraham and the three religions that Christianity, Judaism and Islam are all related, he said.

“Muslims do not hate Jews,” he said. “Mohammed said Jesus and Moses are my brothers. Only a small group of Muslims hate Jews due to conflict.”

Israelis, Ahaba said.

Rabbi Hillel Katzir represented the Jewish point of view.

“I believe that I and Imam can accomplish a lot in the community,” Katzir said. “After speaking with him, I view him as a friend.”

The conflict is all in a person’s point of view and interpretation, Katzir said.

“If all you know is what you see on cable television, then you know nothing,” he said.

Katzir ended his lecture by stating there will never be peace in Palestine and Israel until each side can listen and understand each other’s point of view.

“Talking about who’s at fault is counter-productive,” he said. “Talks of solutions are still premature.” ➤➤jlaurel@dailytoreador.com

Student to officiate at flag football nationals

By MCKENZI MORRIS Staff Writer

All the Arizona State regional flag football games are over. Jamie Kemp sits and waits, hoping his name is called. Then he hears it — his name made the list.

Kemp, a senior exercise and sport sciences major from San Antonio, is an intramural flag football official and he has been selected to move on and officiate at the National Flag Football Tournament.

Jordan Mainer was also selected as an alternate after he officiated at the Texas A&M regional.

“I wanted to get a national bid,” Kemp said. “I wanted to make it to Florida.”

During the tournament, Kemp said, a friend of Brett Jackson, the assistant director of intramural sports and sport clubs at Texas Tech, offered him pointers, but there was no inclination he would receive a bid to the national tournament.

When his name was called, weight

was lifted off his shoulders, Kemp said.

“It was a complete surprise that I did get a bid,” Kemp said. “Not shock, but I guess relief that I got it.”

Kemp, an intramural supervisor, began officiating his sophomore year and worked his first regional tournament last year when Tech was a host. That tournament eventually was canceled due to snow, he said.

The biggest difference between his first regional and this year’s at Arizona State, Kemp said, was the weather and the contacts he made.

“It was definitely different than Texas Tech,” Kemp said. “We didn’t have as many participants, but I got to meet a lot of cool people and I’m going to apply for a (graduate assistant) next fall.”

The National Flag Football Tournament is scheduled for Jan. 1 to 4, 2015, at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida, according to the National Intramural Recreational Sports Association website.

Kemp and Mainer both stood out in

the program because of their desire to get better and learn the rules as best as they can, Jackson said, so it is no surprise they were chosen for the national tournament.

“I’m not expecting to be the best official,” Kemp said. “I’m just expecting to learn and bring (information) back to Texas Tech that we may not have now.”

This season, Tech has 53 flag football officials, Jackson said, and seven of them traveled to a regional tournament.

Jackson officiated at the national tournament when he was a student at Tech, he said, and he received a bid to go to New Orleans after working in the Baylor regional.

Being an official and going to those tournaments helped him meet new people and obtain his current job, he said.

“People always say when you’re in college you don’t necessarily remember the classes you were in or the professors you had. It was those experiences you had outside of school,” he said. “That’s one experience I definitely do remember.”

This is the first time in more than

eight years Tech has sent an intramural official to the flag football national tournament, Jackson said.

Past officials who worked the Arizona State regional from Tech received a national bid, Kemp said, so he felt a small amount of pressure to move on to the next level.

“It didn’t affect me, (but) it was definitely in the back of my head that I wanted to perform well and represent Texas Tech in the right way.”

Becoming a college football official is Kemp’s long-term goal, he said, and Chris Sneed, a Southeastern Conference football official and member of the Tech Alumni Association, mentors him during this process.

Kemp said he believes his years of officiating will help him reach his goal.

“That process starts now with receiving a national bid and knowing I can go further from here and not just seven-onseven at Texas Tech,” he said. “I can be doing high school football in the future.” ➤➤mmorris@dailytoreador.com

Expert, students discuss importance of reading in college

By LIANA SOLIS Staff Writer

Extracurricular reading is encouraged at younger ages, but it is not always pushed for older students.

Jack Becker, associate librarian at the Texas Tech Library, said it is good for students to read books on their own time, not just books required for school.

Books give students a more broad prospective on the world, he said, and it helps stimulate the brain.

“You can talk to famous people who have been dead for a long time or time travel back to another age,” Becker said. “Reading helps stimulates not only the brain but also creativity.”

In 2007, Matott and his friend established the Combat Paper Project and they traveled around the country working with veterans.

Margaret Mahan, the other co-founder of the Peace Paper Project, helped Matott expand the program in 2011 to focus on using papermaking as art therapy in a broader sense.

“We built up quite a following and art therapists were asking us to bring papermaking to the communities they worked with,” she said.

“We created Peace Paper Project as a way of branching out and addressing all these different groups.”

The project develops various outreach programs, and Panty Pulping was started in 2012 to address sexual violence.

Matott and Mahan travel across the world with their papermaking equipment, and Matott said they started planning their visit to Tech a year ago.

“Coming here to Lubbock has been really wonderful,” Matott said. “This year we did a tour

Reading has changed over the years, Becker said, along with the amount of educated students.

“People used to share books they read like they shared experiences, such as football or the latest movie,” he said.

“Students still do that to some extent but not as much.”

College used to be a place for the upper class, Becker said, and only recently was college opened for everyone.

Becker’s father only could have afforded to go to college on the GI Bill, he said.

“Changing this really opened the door for education,” Becker said, “which in turn opened the door for more people to become educated.”

Reading has also changed since television and radio was introduced to society, he said.

According to New Scientist Life, television not only affects younger children, but older students as well regarding academics.

“Students are spending more time on the Internet and watching television than reading,” Becker said. “I still remember when the Internet was a brand new thing sourcing out information. It still does that, but it has also cheapened reading and education.”

Emily Payne, a junior zoology major from Dublin, said she used to read more in high school than she does now.

She does not read as much any-

from Vermont to Kansas. We were only nine hours away, and we’re really honored to be here. Tiffany Holmes was interested in not only having a program for veterans, but to also have something to relate to sexual violence.”

The papermaking process begins with cutting the garments into strips, she said, which are then pulped using a Hollander beater.

This pulp is then put into a bin of water, and a screen with a detachable frame is dipped into the mixture to capture the pulp in a paper-sized rectangle, she said.

“It lends itself to the idea of resilience,” Mahan said. “You’re starting with one thing, breaking it down and literally beating it to a pulp. Then you’re transforming it into something new and beautiful.”

The pulp is then pressed onto a flat surface, and the creator can put an image on it while it is still wet through pulp printing.

Matott developed his own method of pulp printing by using silk screens as templates for the image and then spraying the stencil with a dye made from cotton fibers.

“Regardless of what brings people to the workshop, people

tend to have a really positive response,” Mahan said. “The thing about papermaking is that it is really accessible. If you have no experience with art, you can create something beautiful by following a few simple instructions.”

The sheets are then dried between layers of plastic using a fan, and they become usable pieces of paper, which vary in color based on the fabric used to create the pulp.

The Peace Paper Project will be at Tech from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. today and Thursday at the Helen Devitt Sculpture Court at the Museum of Texas Tech.

Participants are welcome to bring their own garments to pulp, but fabric will be available for them to use as well.

“I really enjoy witnessing the change in our participants from the moment they enter the room to when they leave,” Mahan said.

“I think there is something that physically changes in the atmosphere of the workshop space once people start making paper.

It’s nice to see people empowered to take ownership over it.” ➤➤jromero@dailytoreador.com

more because of her class schedule, Payne said.

“I’ve been busy with classes and haven’t made time to go look for any books,” she said. “I’m picky with books, too, and haven’t heard of any good books to read in a long time.”

Although Payne does not have time to read much, she said she still thinks reading is important for college students.

Reading is good for the brain, she said, and a good way to escape from the real world for a while.

“It’s great to get away from technology for once and expand vocabulary,” Payne said, “or just relax your eyes from the bright lights of cellphones and lose yourself in a good book – I

wish I would take the time to sit down and read again like I used to.”

Other students such as Jordan Newes, a sophomore exercise and sport sciences major from Fort Worth, are not fans of reading.

Newes rarely read in high school, he said, simply because he did not enjoy it and did not have time.

“Every so often, I would find one book that I actually got into,” Newes said. “I still don’t have time to read really, and it’s not one of my favorite things to do.”

Students have time to read, Becker said, they just choose to spend it doing other things.

Students should unplug from social media, he said, and turn off the televi-

sion to find time for reading.

“Reading things on the Internet is not the same as reading them in a book,” Becker said. “Books carry weight that everyone can benefit from.”

Another important thing students should remember, Becker said, is that many great movies started as a book.

Popular movies series, such as “The Lord of The Rings” and “Harry Potter,” he said, stated as ideas.

“Those series were nothing until words were put to paper,” Becker said.

“It was only after that when they went on to become popular, were turned into movies and created jobs for people – it all started with a book.” ➤➤lsolis@dailytoreador.com

Marijuana use, possession should be legalized Holidays becoming more novelty than celebration Francis I Cobbinah Jemima M

“

... you cannot curb the marijuana menace just by imprisoning people and neither can you also force a generation to stop doing something they want to do.

The truth is people will continue to find new ways to beat the authorities so they can have their way with their pot and that is why it should be decriminalized so it can be better and effectively monitored. The government has to do its bit in legalizing it. As to whether people will go ahead and destroy themselves with it or not is a personal choice and must be left to the people to decide.

According to leafly.com, a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine showed that 13 states that legalized the use of marijuana between 1999 and 2010 saw a reduction in deaths by overdosing on prescription painkillers by an astounding 25 percent.

According to a U.S. News article, pot usage among Colorado teens appeared to drop significantly after its legalization. This news did not come as a shock mainly because teenagers will always want to try new things out regardless of how harmful or not it is and they will never stop until their curiosity is satisfied.

One can call these statistics a satisfaction of teenage or youthful curiosity, but the truth is if government wants to really check marijuana usage in the U.S., the first step toward it is to legalize its usage or decriminalize its possession.

Tech engineering program places burden on students

T

EDITORIAL BOARD

he Texas Tech engineering program is undoubtedly one of the finest programs the school has to offer. From great classroom instruction to hosting job fairs and giving students opportunities to meet with companies for a possible internship, the engineering program emphasizes hard work, dedication and helps students work toward the goals they have for their future.

The success of the program has been evident for years and should continue to be successful with the strong and dedicated staff Tech offers to its students.

But there are two aspects in the program today that should be changed for the betterment of students.

The first aspect relates to the study abroad program. According to the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering website, effective on the Fall 2013 catalog, every engineering student must meet an international experience requirement.

There are several ways to meet this requirement but the most popular or most influential way is to go study in a country such as Spain or Germany and take at least three hours of course work.

Although it is a great experience, it includes many downsides that bring burdens on students.

First, the entirety of the trip is too expensive. From airfare and tuition to extra spending money to enjoy the trip, the financial burden it places on the students paying for college themselves or

Editor-in-Chief Carson Wilson editor@dailytoreador.com Managing Editor Chantal Espinoza managing@dailytoreador.com News Editor Kaitlin Bain news@dailytoreador.com La Vida Editor Amy Cunningham features@dailytoreador.com Opinions Editor Andrew Gleinser opinions@dailytoreador.com Sports Editor Everett Corder sports@dailytoreador.com

Conrad Polkosnik for the families paying for the student’s college tuition and other fees is harsh. If the COE wants to make studying abroad a requirement, it should help fund the program so students aren’t bombarded with payments for the trip. By aiding students financially, more students will accept the international experience requirement with ease knowing their college is supporting them.

Secondly, there aren’t enough meaningful classes offered. Many students find themselves having already taken all the classes that are available for the summer sessions but still are in need of satisfying the international experience requirement. Many students don’t want to pay so much money for a trip across the globe just to take a creative arts or multicultural elective.

Students want to go abroad and take an important and meaningful class to their degree plan.

Anyone can satisfy a multicultural or creative arts credit at a local community college for a few hundred dollars rather than spending thousands abroad.

The second aspect relates to the fall/spring only courses offered each semester throughout the specified engineering field degree plans. By making courses

available only during certain semesters, financial burdens are placed on students and families while also making a student waste a year’s worth of time.

For example, if a student takes a tough course only offered in the fall and fails, the student would then have to wait until next fall to take that course again in order to move on to the next semester’s classes because it is a prerequisite for the spring semester of that same year.

Because of the fall/spring-only courses, many students are placed on five-year plans to earn their degree rather than four. This, in turn, places a burden on students financially, having to pay an extra year’s worth of tuition.

It is understandable to have prerequisites for courses in order to move on to the next ones, but why not allow hard working and dedicated students to catch up over the summer? By offering more engineering classes in the summer here at Tech, more students would graduate in four years which would allow more space for other students to take classes at times they feel more comfortable with while also saving money.

Although many engineering students are placed on five-year plans, there are still many ways to take advantage of the situation. Because students have an extra year to complete their degree plans, students can take fewer classes per semester and concentrate on the harder subjects while having a smaller Copyright © 2014 Texas Tech University Student Media/The Daily Toreador.

workload.

Students can earn better grades in tougher classes rather than barely passing but completing more hours per semester on the four-year plan. Also, if a student is motivated to earn a minor in a subject, the smaller course load per semester toward one’s bachelor’s degree would allow the student to take an extra class or two to earn their minor.

All in all, the engineering program here at Tech is definitely a great program that takes care of its students. The staff does a great job with academic advising and providing opportunities for students to be successful. The program is a proven success when seeing all the Tech alumni at the job fair recruiting students for the high-end companies they work for today.

As for the burdens placed on students, the COE should take into consideration some of the aspects of the program it has set up and see if it can accommodate students better financially with the international experience requirement when studying abroad and developing a better system to offer more classes in the summer and during the fall and spring semesters to give the hard working and dedicated students a chance at catching up with their degree plans to possibly finish in four years.

aybe it’s just my inner Ebenezer Scrooge, but I’ve never been a big fan of the holiday season.

I don’t have a problem with visiting my relatives. Despite the initial awkwardness of the encounters, the ritual of trading nostalgia-laden stories for hours was a source of comfort.

My problem with the holidays stemmed from all the fanfare that went along them.

I could never get into all the shopping, decorating or any of the other more materialistic aspects of the occasion.

As the years have passed, the unnecessary fanfare associated with the holidays has only increased, so much so that the holidays have largely become more of a novelty than a time to join together for a celebration.

One cause is that the origin of many holidays is so murky they have lost their meaning. As a result, new traditions have been created, some for the better and some for the worst.

For example, Christmas is arguably the most popular holiday in the U.S. Just the mention of it brings to mind stockings hung on mantles with care and a glittering tree in every living room. To many, the focus of the holiday is mostly to make sure young children retain their belief in a jolly man wielding presents and his team of flying reindeer.

However, December 25 was originally set aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas has pagan roots, but was adapted to a semblance of its current form by the Romans.

In addition, there are other holidays whose origins are rooted in commercialism. The recognition of Mother’s Day is largely because of its backing by retailers, who saw a lot of profit from the holiday.

Another reason behind the commercialization of the holidays is there is more focus on their material aspects rather than the meanings behind them. The average person’s first indication the holidays are approaching doesn’t come from a glance at the calendar.

The first sign usually comes from television commercials advertising everything from clothes to cars, all in honor of the holidays. It also comes from driving through most neighbor-

hoods to find houses drenched with decorations painstakingly prepared for the occasion.

As consumers, the first thing we think about during the holidays is which gifts to buy what family member and the ingredients needed for various holiday dishes. For a fair amount of people, celebrating the occasion currently at hand or bonding with family members comes in second to the needless preparations involved with it.

S a l e s men of every kind use the holidays as a platform to sell millions of greeting cards, toys, decorations, food and other “holiday essentials.” According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 45 mill i o n tu rk eys are cooked and eaten in the U.S. at Thanksgiving. This accounts for one-sixth of the total amount of turkeys sold in a year.

Another thing hurting the holidays is that we tend to see them as just another break from work, school or any other institutional obligation. Honestly, to a certain degree, the holidays are meant to be a break. In ancient celebrations of many holidays, work was ceased and feasts were prepared.

But these days, a “break” means one more pencil stroke on a packed calendar. Seeing holidays this way reinforces them as just another day of the year.

Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas are centuries old, so it is natural for them to change during those years. We trade in old traditions for ones more fitting to our time and our generation.

But no matter how much the holidays stray from their original shape, the main focus should always be to gather with ones you love to commemorate something you feel is worth celebrating.

in certain states “a blow to the drug war.”

To some extent, these people may have a valid claim considering that according to a U.S. News article, on average, police arrested at least one person for the possession of marijuana every 42 seconds in 2012.

Also, many argue that people abuse marijuana and end up addicted and destroying themselves resulting in the eventual destruction of human capital.

Right here on campus, we have all seen how certain “gentlemen” have been arrested by the Te x a s Te c h Police Department for gross misconduct fueled by pot usage.

These are the facts of the matter and nobody disputes them.

Nevertheless, basing a proposal for the ban or prohibition of marijuana and criminalizing it

entirely because most teenagers and college kids misconduct themselves after using pot is quite unfair to the old people who use it responsibly and to the Jamaican brothers who use it for “meditation.”

Furthermore, we do not want our young men being imprisoned for minor offenses such as cannabis possession and coming out at the end of their jail terms with “ex-convict” tags hovering over their heads for the rest of their lives and ruining their prospects.

After all, there have been several prominent people who have admitted to using cannabis before with the only difference being that they were never caught.

There have also been several attempts to stop people from using marijuana that have all proven futile.

These are all signs that you cannot curb the marijuana menace just by imprisoning people and neither can you also force a generation to stop doing something they want to do. That change cannot be done until people have personally resolved and made a commitment to quit.

“

n a move that has been subject to much public scrutiny, Washington voters recently approved Initiative 71 as reported by The Huffington Post. This initiative legalizes adult marijuana use, possession of up to two ounces and home cultivation of up to six marijuana plants for personal use.

This issue of marijuana, or pot as it is commonly referred to, has always been a big one largely because of the stance various factions in society have taken in its regard. Some believe it is good while others believe it is bad depending on which side of the political or social fence they sit.

According to medicalmarijuanapro.org, marijuana is legal in 23 states in the nation. Interestingly, marijuana is still an illegal substance under federal law which adds up to the complexity of the marijuana saga.

In numbers which evidently prove that the overwhelming majority of Americans support marijuana legalization, Gallup. com reports that for the first time in history, more than 58 percent of Americans voted in favor of legalizing marijuana, which makes it difficult for politicians to ignore the wishes of the masses, thus the need for government to listen to them and grant their request while devising strategies to monitor it.

As usual, there have been many people who have raised concerns regarding pot legalization with some going to the extent of tagging its legalization

Marquez reflects on time at Texas Tech

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

FILE PHOTO/The Daily Toreador

TEXAS TECH WIDE receiver Bradley Marquez catches a touchdown pass during the second half of Tech’s 34-21 victory over Kansas on Oct. 18 at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Texas Tech senior wide receiver Bradley Marquez has suited up and taken the field as a Red Raider 41 times throughout his career, but will only get to experience it for two more games.

Marquez was honored before the Oklahoma game with his fellow senior teammates, as it was their last game AT Jones AT&T Stadium.

Despite not having the end result on Saturday that he had hoped for, Marquez said the time before the game was special moment for him and his family.

“Bit emotional, it’s really surreal.

It happened really fast, but it was a great moment to share with the other seniors and especially my mom,” he said. “That was the biggest thing. And it was a lot of fun, had a lot of fun on senior day.”

As he was standing on the field, with his mom by his side and the 11th-largest crowd in school history cheering, he could not help but reflect on some of his most memorable moments at Tech.

While it is hard for him to pick out only one moment, Marquez said it would probably be in his first game when he made a diving touchdown catch from quarterback Seth Doege with less than a minute remaining in the first quarter of the season opener.

“My very first game in the Jones was most memorable. I didn’t know

what to expect in my very first college play. It was a touchdown,” Marquez said. “Couldn’t have scripted it any better. I couldn’t have even dreamt of scoring a touchdown on my very first college play. That’s one of my favorite moments and one that just sticks out to me.”

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said players that carry themselves like Marquez are the reason he loves going to work every day.

During his four-year career with Tech, Marquez has caught 143 passes for 1,682 yards and 14 touchdowns so far. He has earned first team Academic All-Big 12 honors twice and All-Big 12 honorable mention once.

After being a leader on and off the field for the Red Raiders, Marquez said he hopes people remember him as a hard worker.

“I just hope everybody knows I worked my tail off day in and day out.

Practices, games, I’ve given my all on the football field for this program,” Marquez said. “I’m not the most athletic, I’m not the best player by any means, but I think I’m one of the hardest workers. I have been for my entire career here.”

As Marquez is a two-sport athlete, he was drafted by the New York Mets out of high school in the 16th round, according to the Tech Athletics website.

With two games remaining this season, Marquez is focusing on that but said he knows a decision to play baseball or football is coming up soon.

Tech volleyball looks for win in Fort Worth

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

The Texas Tech volleyball team will face the Texas Christian Horned Frogs in an away match at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the TCU Student Recreation Center.

Tech faced the Horned Frogs as its first Big 12 match earlier in the season and defeated TCU in the United Supermarkets Arena 3-1.

TCU got off to an early lead in the match by picking up a first-set win of 2522. Tech responded and tied up the match with a 25-23 second-set win.

After tying the match up at one set each, Tech won the third set 25-19 and the fourth set 25-15 to cap off its first

conference win of the season.

Senior outside hitter Breeann David finished off the match against TCU with a career high matching 23 kills.

Junior outside hitter Jenna Allen said a win versus the Horned Frogs can increase the confidence of the Tech squad.

“I think it takes just one match to turn around,” Allen said. “If we’re toeto-toe and we get up and we’re at 20 and we win that game, then it’s like, ‘oh we can do this.’”

The Red Raiders come into the Wednesday match up with a 15-10 overall record and a 3-10 conference record, with their most recent loss to the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Tech coach Don Flora said the team

needs to build up confidence in its matchups to have both the defense and offense working efficiently.

“We make up stories in our head.

Instead, just once the whistle blows I’m just going to play as good as I can play tonight,” Flora said. “I think it’s a little bit about just wanting to execute, wanting to get it done that night, a little bit about confidence.”

Tech lost in three sets to the Mountaineers Nov. 15 in the WVU Coliseum 30-28, 25-23 and 25-20. Despite scoring 51 overall points, the Mountaineers pulled away from the Red Raiders late into the sets.

Sophomore middle blocker Lauren Douglass said she needed to execute key

plays in the final stretches of the sets in the match against West Virginia.

“We played toe-to-toe the whole game then the last five, 10 points we just let them get on runs,” Douglass said. “We just need to really work on executing.”

TCU comes into its Wednesday match after a five-set loss to the Iowa State Cyclones.

Tech fell behind to a 2-1 deficit when it played the Cyclones, but tied the match back up with a 26-24 fourth set win.

TCU, however, fell behind early in the fifth set and dropped the set 15-8.

With a win at TCU, the Tech squad would win its first match in the month of November.

Zaza Pachulia added season highs of 14 points and 13 rebounds for the Bucks, who improved to 6-5 on the year. It was the first time the team had a winning record since March 20, 2013, when it was 34-33.

New York cut a 26-point deficit to 115-113 with 7.9 seconds left on a dunk off a baseline move by Carmelo Anthony.

Jerryd Bayless responded with two free throws for Milwaukee. He went 5

After being eliminated from bowl consideration by Oklahoma last weekend, Tech still has to travel to Ames, Iowa, and Arlington to face Big 12 competition.

As one of the leaders of the team, Marquez said he will make sure his teammates are still just as motivated as they were at the beginning of the season.

“There’s no question this team is going to go out there and give it their best shot. It’s just we have had some unfortunate breaks this season, the ball has not always bounced our way, but I don’t think I would question anyone’s effort throughout the entire season,” he said. “We work hard for 12 months of the year to get 12 games.”

Milwaukee Bucks hold off New York Knicks 117-113 to climb above .500 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Ersan Ilyasova had 20 points, and the rebuilding Milwaukee Bucks climbed above .500 for the first time in more than a year by fending off the New York Knicks for a 117-113 victory Tuesday night.

“I’ll really get into depth with it when I sit down with my family and my mom,” he said. “Once the season is over, I’ll make the best decision for my future. We’ll see how that goes. I’ll talk with coach too and see what he says.”

Last offseason was Marquez’s first to stay in Lubbock and practice with the team instead of going to New York. Before the season, he was named one of four team captains for this year.

He said while the team will be without him next season, there are many young receivers ready to step up for the Red Raiders.

“I’ve probably spent the most time with Ian (Sadler) because we both play the Y position. He is a guy who is always asking questions. Anything I can give him to help him is what I do for him,” Marquez said. “He’s really grown up, grown up in front of my eyes. It’s awesome to see a kid
