Lubbock downgraded to abnormally dry After increased rainfall in the South Plains since Memorial Day weekend, the U.S. Drought Monitor has downgraded Lubbock and surrounding counties to abnormally dry.

This is a change from being listed as extreme or exceptional drought, the most extreme categories, as the counties were previously, according to the monitor.

According to the National Weather Service, Lubbock has received 22.17 inches of precipitation during this year, 4.04 inches above the year-todate average.

Although this year’s total is almost four times more than the rain that fell in 2011, the worst year of the drought and a year with less rainfall and more heat than some years during the Dust Bowl, it is not enough to proclaim Lubbock out of the drought.

The City of Lubbock downgraded the Drought Contingency Plan to Stage One on Oct. 1 but has kept the city on those restrictions.

According to the Lubbock Water Department website, Stage One drought conditions restrict landscape irrigation to certain days and times.

According to a previous article in The Daily Toreador, drought conditions are not only set by the current rainfall levels, but also past rainfall that contributes to the current state of soil and groundwater. ➤➤news@dailytoreador.com

Small North Texas quake triggers social media stir I RV I N G ( A P ) — A m a g n i tude-3.3 earthquake has shaken N o r t h Te x a s s t r o n g e n o u g h t o draw reaction during a Dallas Stars hockey game.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake occurred about 9:15 p.m.

Saturday and was centered about 2 miles beneath east Irving, around 6 miles northwest of Dallas.

No injuries or damage was reported. But The Dallas Morning News reports a social media stir.

That included a tweet from the Stars, who were playing the Los Angeles Kings in downtown Dallas, reading: “That was . odd.

Thanks for bringing an earthquake, @LAKings.”

It was the sixth and strongest quake centered near Irving in two months.

Small quakes have become more common recently in Texas. Last month, state officials amended rules for disposal well operators amid concerns that high-pressure injections can trigger earthquakes.

Student garners attention as basketball fan

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

At the Texas Tech men’s basketball home opener versus the Loyola Greyhounds on Nov. 15, many fans in attendance in the United Supermarkets Arena remember a shot which took place during halftime when both the Greyhounds and the Red Raiders were off the court.

A fan adorned with a shining white luchador mask and a crimson cape stood at the half-court line ready to take a shot for a chance to win a trip for two to Las Vegas from Lubbock Student Housing.

The caped luchador launched the basketball through the hoop, hitting nothing but net.

The fans in the arena exploded with cheering, and the luchador threw his hands up in celebration that he had just won a trip to Vegas.

Before the shot, many fans did not know Austin Hughes, a junior entrepreneurial management major from Deer Park, was the fan behind the luchador mask.

Hughes said he only had a few minutes to mentally prepare for his half-court shot attempt.

“Normally when you see people make those, they want to fall on the floor because they’re in shock with all this stuff,” Hughes said. “I didn’t get that emotion it was just more of ‘dang this is crazy.’ I just looked around and everyone was going nuts, and I was like ‘did

AUSTIN HUGHES, A junior entrepreneurial management major from Deer Park, won a trip for two to Las Vegas by making a half-court shot during halftime of Tech’s game against the Loyola Greyhounds on Nov. 15 in the United Supermarkets Arena. Hughes has dressed up and attended men’s basketball home games for the last three years.

I just do that?’”

Since arriving at Tech, Hughes has become a regular fixture at the Tech men’s home basketball games. Fans can easily spot him in the front rows of the student section, but Hughes said they never see him without his mask and cape in the stands.

Hughes first found his luchador mask and cape on a trip to Corpus Christi, and started wearing the outfit during his senior year in high school at his best friend’s soccer games.

“They had almost no fans other than the parents so I started wearing it to all of their games,” he said. “Their crowd kept growing and growing and they went to playoffs, and we had like 400 student fans which was a huge amount so I was like the leader of the fan section.”

When he arrived at Tech and went to his first men’s basketball game, Hughes said he saw a similar situation to his high school soccer team.

“There were not many fans that were students there,” he said. “It was just kind of boring, and I felt like I need to spice things up and bring it out.”

The luchador mask, Hughes said, has more meaning than a simple costume.

“I just wanted to make things more interesting and get people excited and kind of give them a figure to rally behind, kind of like Batman,” Hughes said. “In the last Batman, they said they don’t need a hero, they need someone to stand for something, so he’s (Batman) kind of like the symbol. That’s kind of the purpose it served.”

Hughes keeps his mask and cape strictly for the men’s home basketball games. Outside of the student section for basketball, Hughes never dons his luchador outfit in any of Tech’s student sections.

Since appearing at high school soccer matches and regularly attending Tech basketball games, Hughes said he never had as much attention as when he made the half-court shot at the Tech home opener.

Students pay parking tickets with toys MORE INFORMATION

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

When students receive a parking ticket on the Texas Tech campus, they are required to pay a fine depending on the specific citation.

Instead of going through this process, Transportation and Parking Services is hosting its annual Toys for Tickets event.

Stacy Moncibaiz, marketing coordinator for Parking Services, said the program was started in 2009.

“We’ve been doing it every holiday season since then,” she said. “It’s a way to give back to the community. At the same time, you can get your parking account in order if you need to. It’s a great way during the holidays to give back to the children in the Lubbock area.”

To participate in the program, students

Florida senior midfielder Annie Speese would not allow it.

With only nine minutes remaining in regulation, Speese scored the game-winner to put Florida ahead 3-2, according to the release.

Tech could not score another goal to keep pace, and its season ended with the loss. The journey for Tech met its end in the “Sweet 16,” which is the furthest Tech has ever gone in the NCAA tournament in program history.

The Red Raiders finished the season with an overall record of 16-4-2. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com

see the different trends, so maybe we’ll see some things from Frozen this year.”

The toys will be collected until 4 p.m. on Dec. 12, which allows students to bring in items even after finals.

The Toys for Tickets program collaborates with Toys for Tots, and Moncibaiz said all the toys will be donated to the local program.

Researchers at Texas Tech have a patent pending for a concept that would allow wind farms to produce more power using the wind.

John Schroeder, professor of atmospheric sciences, said that most wind farms do not produce an exceptional amount of power, according to a Tech news release.

“With a better understanding of how turbines interact with each other, we may be able to make small adjustments that could be worth millions,” he said.

Other inventors on the patent include Brian Hirth and Jerry Guynes, research professors at the National Wind Institute, according to the release.

The patent, according to the release, will allow the researchers to work to optimize wind plant performance using radar technology and analysis techniques associated with the technology.

Tech’s housing of the National Wind Institute allows for discoveries like these to be made at the university level because professors and students can research right on site, according to the release.

“Dr. Schroeder’s work is an example of how Texas Tech basic research innovation can have a profound impact on the marketplace,” Robert V. Duncan, vice president for research, said, according to the release. “We

have been doing important fundamental research in wind since 1970, and this is one example of how longSCHROEDER term basic research leads to new economic opportunities.”

The company SmartWind Technologies LLC, founded by Schroeder, Hirth and Guynes for technology development and service, currently has the patent rights, according to the release. The company’s purpose is to provide products, software and knowledge to measure and analyze wind energy-relevant complex flows, according to the company’s website.

The information gathered as a result of the patent will allow enhanced information about flow conditions to be gathered, which means proactive controls can be developed to minimize turbineto-turbine interaction and instead maximize power, Schroeder said, according to the release.

“The idea is to take what we’ve been doing in the research realm and through the company provide a commercial vehicle to offer it to industry that can benefit from it,” he said. “It is technology developed at Texas Tech, licensed and ready to be used by industry.”

This patent was filed by the Office of Research and Com-

mercialization and works to extend the desire of Tech to translate discoveries being made on a research level HIRTH on campus to commercial applications that can be brought to a wider market.

“As a public research university we have a responsibility to find commercial partners that want to apply our technologies to solve real-world problems,” Russell Thomasson, associate vice president for research and commercialization, said, according to the release. “In this case, the wind research that was completed at the National Wind Institute created intellectual property that was licensed to a local start-up company. They are working with large, national wind generation companies to make wind energy more efficient for everyone.”

Schroeder, Hirth and Guynes, the founders of SmatWind, have been featured in the past for their work in the field, according to SmartWind’s website.

Their research was showcased in the trade magazine North American WindPower, and in in Sept. 2014 received a $1.4 million grant from the Department of Education to build the next generation of Doppler radar with technology that was designed specifically for

wind energy applications, according to the website.

“It benefits wind energy, it benefits society and it benefits GUYNES Te x a s Te c h , ” Schroeder said.

“The endpoint of this research and commercialization process will have an impact well beyond the university.”

Kayla White, an undecided freshman from Plainview, said she thinks the research Tech is doing is exciting and could bring more students to the university.

While she is not an engineering major, she said she can see how innovations could be important when recruiting potential students.

“If I were in one of those majors, I would definitely look for a program that is currently doing research in the field,” she said.

“Those who usually know the most about a topic are those who are doing it.”

Timothy Green, a sophomore chemistry major from Plano, said research at the university level is important to him whether it happens in the field he’s getting his major in or not.

“It just makes us look better,” he said. “Texas Tech is doing research in this field and is making discoveries — it just raises our notoriety and gets our name out there.” ➤➤news@dailytoreador.com

Ferguson grand jury still The Daily Toreador chooses Spring 2015 editorial staff expected to reach decision

By KAITLIN BAIN News editor

FERGUSON, Mossuri (AP) — Despite preparations for a weekend decision in the Ferguson shooting case, the grand jurors apparently need more time to deliberate, and the uncertainty just seemed to feed the anxiety and speculation Sunday in a city already on edge.

More than 3½ months have passed since police Officer Darren Wilson, who is white, killed unarmed black 18-year-old Michael Brown after a confrontation in the middle of a street in the St. Louis suburb. The shooting triggered riots and looting, and police responded with armored vehicles and tear gas.

Many in the area thought a grand jury decision on whether to charge Wilson with a crime would be announced Sunday, based partly on a stepped-up

police presence in the preceding days, including the setting up of barricades around the building where the panel was meeting.

The grand jurors met Friday but apparently didn’t reach a decision, and they were widely expected to reconvene on Monday, though there was no official confirmation of that.

During church services Sunday, some pastors encouraged their flocks not to fret.

A choir sang, “We need you Lord right now” at the predominantly black Greater Grace Church in Ferguson. The pastor, Bishop L.O. Jones, referred to the pending grand jury decision briefly.

“Everybody stand to your feet and tell somebody, ‘Don’t be afraid. God is still in control,’” Jones said as church members repeated after him.

World of Colors

Texas Tech students showcase diversity through multicultural pageant

PHOTO BY KIRBY CRUMPLER/The Daily Toreador

KRISHNA DHUNGANA, FROM Nepal, recites a poem for the World of Colors International Cultural Pageant on Friday in the City Bank Auditorium.

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

Members of the Lubbock community attended the World of Colors International Cultural Pageant at 6 p.m. Friday at the City Bank Auditorium.

Alicia Goodman, the director of the pageant, said planning for the event began a few months ago.

“We have such a large international community,” she said. “Over 100 countries go to Texas Tech, yet we don’t really showcase that. I think we’re missing an opportunity as a university to highlight how much more there is to the world than just Texas.”

Twelve contestants competed in the pageant and represented 11 countries.

The contestants were interviewed prior to joining the pageant, and Goodman said they attended several rehearsals after being selected.

“We had an open call, and they could apply online,” she said. “While we didn’t mandate that they be from the country they were representing, we wanted to make sure they had some type of cultural appreciation and not appropriation.”

The pageant’s four rounds were cultural wear, talent, formal wear and interview.

Frances Seales, one of the pageant judges, said she admires the work the university does with international students.

“I was looking for the pride they have in their country and where they’re coming from,” she said. “You can imagine us going to their country, but there they just have one cultural style. When they come to the United States, we have many cultural styles. When you’re coming to be an American, you’re coming to be with everything from around the world.”

During the cultural wear round, the contestants wore traditional clothing from countries such as China, Ghana, the Philippines and Nepal.

The contestants showcased various talents including everything from singing and dancing to performing karate.

“One of my favorite parts was watching the contestants watch other contestants perform,” Goodman said. “They were in awe of what others could do and learned something new.”

In formal wear, the contestants wore traditional suits and dresses, and Goodman said the round was included to keep some traditional pageant aspects.

During the final round, the contestants were asked various questions about international issues, the differences

between their countries and the U.S. and problems young people currently face.

Nagarani Kamarapu, a freshman biochemistry major from India, helped at the pageant with Students for Global Connection who organized the event.

“We are an organization that brings other international organizations together,” she said. “We’re a middle group where they can all talk. We try do events that benefit all international students.”

After four rounds, the judges tallied the scores to determine the winners of the first World of Colors pageant.

Branco Sekalegga from Uganda was crowned Mr. TTU International and Posha Gt from Nepal was crowned Ms. TTU International.

Audra Morse, the associate dean for undergraduate studies in the Edward E. Whitacre College of Engineering, said the name of the pageant fit its purpose well.

“This event is about bringing that contrast and that color to the Texas Tech campus,” she said. “Those 11 countries represented here tonight bring great beauty. This event is such a beautiful way of demonstrating diversity. It’s in that color and in that diversity that also allows us to think about how we are the same.” ➤➤jromero@dailytoreador.com

Obama announces new immigration plan

F

rom the beginning of Barack Obama’s time as president, he has shown a commitment to immigration reform.

In the first two years of his first term, the Democratic Party controlled Congress, and no bill was passed.

Last year, Speaker of the House John Boehner refused to let debate of a bipartisan immigration reform bill take place.

The bill would have, according to the president, doubled the number of border patrol agents while giving undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship if they paid a fine, started paying their taxes and went to the back of the line.

If the vote had happened, the bill would have passed.

On Thursday, Obama addressed the U.S. and took matters into his own hands.

Because, as the president said, our immigration system is broken, no matter which political party you follow.

Obama will now take actions on immigration reform that presidents of both parties in the past half-century have taken that will make the system more fair and just.

The first action the president will take is to provide more resources for law enforcement personnel along the border.

The second action is to make it easier for skilled immigrants, graduates and entrepreneurs to stay so they can contribute to the economy. This action has been supported and proposed by business leaders.

Finally, the president said he will take steps to deal with the millions of immigrants in the country responsibly.

Obama spent the most time addressing his final action, since it causes the most controversy. In the past six years, the president said, the deportation of criminals has increased 80 percent.

The president said it is important we deport criminals, not children or hardworking families.

“Let’s be honest: Tracking down, rounding up and deporting millions of people isn’t realistic,” Obama said.

Kristen Barton “Anyone who suggests otherwise isn’t being straight with you.”

The president specified the emphasis of deportation would be re-directed to criminals, gang members and felons instead of children, families and hardworking mothers.

Most immigrants have been in the U.S. awhile and work hard at low-paying jobs, which are, as President George W. Bush said, part of American life.

“If you’ve with been in America more than five years,” Obama said, “if you have children who are American citizens or illegal residents — if you register, pass a criminal background check and you’re willing to pay your fair share of taxes, you’ll be able to apply to stay in this country temporarily without fear of deportation. You can come out of the shadows and get right with the law.”

I don’t know if anything has upset the GOP more since the Affordable Care Act. The president specified this deal does not apply to recent immigrants or future immigrants. It also does not grant permanent citizenship or benefits.

The distinction Obama makes between amnesty and his policies is that he will enforce taxes and laws on undocumented immigrants, versus the system we have now that does nothing but deport or scare and exploit workers.

The president is setting a middle ground on which Congress can meet him.

They have refused to be cooperative with him on the issue.

Critics say Obama can’t do this, his policies are not constitutional and he is going over Congress.

What these critics do not realize is Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and

George H.W. Bush all did the exact same policy of granting quasi-legal status for certain immigrants. The only difference is that this time it is a much larger scale.

The president has precedence.

However, this precedence will not be nearly enough to deter the Republican Party. Some sources say the party has gone as far as threats to shut down the government again. And who can blame them?

The last time they threw a fit about a policy they did not agree with (instead of, you know, reaching compromise), they won control of the Senate and the House despite low approval ratings.

But the president knew exactly how to answer all the criticism and backlash.

Pass a bill, because as the president said, the day he signs a bill into law, the actions Obama is taking will no longer be necessary, because Americans are sick and tired of gridlock.

“Because for all the back and forth in Washington, we have to remember this debate is about something bigger,” he said.

“It’s about who we are as a country and who we want to be for future generations.”

As Obama put it, we are and will always be a nation of immigrants.

“Whether our forbearers were strangers who crossed the Atlantic, or the Pacific or the Rio Grande, we are here only because this country welcomed them in and taught them that to be an American is about something more than what we look like or what our last names are, or how we worship,” Obama said.

“What makes us Americans is our shared commitment to an ideal, that all of us are created equal, and that all of us have the chance to make our lives what we will.”

The president has changed the game.

Obama has shown it is time for action and that he refuses to continue doing nothing.

It’s time to move America forward.

Your move, Congress.

Net neutrality necessary for Internet freedom, consumers Net neutrality represents unnecessary government overreach

“

Obama openly voiced his support for maintaining these principles, saying he “urg[es] the Federal Communications Commission to do everything they can to protect net neutrality for everyone.”

Obama went on to propose the FCC reclassify the Internet under Title II of the Telecommunications Act along with telephones and cable. Basically, this means the Internet and its providers would be subject to the same regulations as cable and telephone service.

Naturally, the prospect of increased government involvement in the dealings of broadband providers incurred the disapproval of many Republicans. Most notably, Texas S e n a t o r Te d Cruz spoke out against net neutrality, calling it “Obamacare for the Internet.”

Cruz went on to say the new classification would negatively impact the possibility any future innovations in Internet.

Cruz’s conclusion is un founded. Net neutrality has been in effect ever since the Internet was established and it never stopped the Internet’s significant progression over the decades. The reclassification is simply a way to allow for freedom and innovations regarding the Internet to continue to surpass previous heights.

Another argument against net neutrality is that it would create all sorts of new fees and rate increases on Internet users. However, leaving things up to Internet service providers doesn’t guarantee the reduction or stability of consumer rates.

L

ost in the debate over immigration over the past few weeks is another issue which the president is acting on: regulation of the Internet. President Barack Obama is pushing the Federal Communications Commission to regulate the Internet as a Title II service, meaning that it is considered an essential public utility like electricity or phone access.

In other words, Obama believes the Internet should be regulated explicitly by the FCC to prohibit “unjust” or “unreasonable” actions on the part of Internet service providers. This plan is commonly being labeled as “net neutrality.”

Interestingly, according to an article in The Washington Post, the president’s own handpicked FCC chairman, Tom Wheeler, is apparently unwilling to take such drastic action. The FCC answers more directly to Congress, and many Republicans (who will soon control both legislative houses) are vehemently opposed to the president’s plan. Furthermore, ISPs are likely to file a lawsuit against the FCC if such regulations are proposed, and many

EDITORIAL BOARD

Net neutrality guarantees the Internet will remain a level playing field for both the companies and customers who use it.

For example, Comcast, America’s largest cable and broadband provider, signed a deal with Netflix in February to ensure the company a fast and efficient Internet connection. Without net neutrality, deals like these could become commonplace and broadband providers would be able to prioritize some companies over others based on the payment associated with their deal.

Companies without the means to pay these prices would have their service slowed and content made harder to access.

The same practice could be extended to Internet users.

Internet providers would have the power to charge customers a higher rate in order to have the freedom to access any site they want. Customers who can’t afford these rates would have both their Web content and speeds manipulated by their provider.

Net neutrality guarantees the Internet will remain a level playing field for both the companies and customers who use it. It prioritizes the need of the customer over the provider and maintains the freedom all Internet users have a right to continue to enjoy.

believe Obama’s plan will not withstand a legal challenge.

While the stated goal of net neutrality, to ensure the Internet remains equally available to everyone, sounds patriotic and just, there are a number of issues with net neutrality that render it unviable.

First, the FCC Title II prohibits ISPs from partaking in “unjust” or “unreasonable” activities. This invites a great deal of criticism because these terms are very vague. Any actions can be argued to be either unjust or unreasonable, or vice versa (just and reasonable).

Of course, the courts will be called upon to resolve disputes such as these. It is ridiculous to subject the Internet, one of our fastestgrowing sec tors, to an exponential increase in lawsuits and government bureaucracy.

Second, despite what the president may believe, personal Internet is not an essential service — it is a luxury. Almost all critical tasks Americans must participate in, such as filing taxes, registering to vote, obtaining passports and driver’s licenses, accessing emergency services and utilizing the legal system, can be done in person, over the phone or by mail.

Furthermore, for those that do not have private Internet availability, public libraries and community centers across the country provide Internet access to those who need it.

This should be the extent of the government’s involvement in ensuring Internet availability.

Third, and perhaps most importantly, net neutrality enforced by the FCC would stifle innovation among existing ISPs and potential new entrants to the ISP market. If the government has to sign off on a prospective Internet company’s business model, it will slow down the process by years and likely act as a deterrent to new ideas.

The beauty of the Internet has been its ability to quickly capitalize on new markets, which the president’s plan would all but destroy. As South Dakota Senator John Thune put it, the plan “would turn the Internet into a government-

“

regulated utility and stifle our nation’s dynamic and robust Internet sector with rules written nearly 80 years ago for plain old telephone service.”

Supporters of net neutrality often use two future possibilities to make their argument: that ISPs might enter into deals with websites to slow down competing websites on their network, and that ISPs might charge higher rates to customers for access to popular sites, such as Facebook or Twitter.

The reality is that in an open market, ISPs that take such actions will go out of business even though they have the right to do so.

If the market remains unregulated and these unlikelihoods someh o w o c c u r, new ISPs will soon emerge that do not embrace these underhanded tactics and the old providers will go out of business.

That’s how a free market regulates itself: If an action taken by a company is in fact “unjust” or “unreasonable,” the customers will agree and refuse to purchase such service, and the company will be forced to change policy or go out of business. The Internet differs from phone or electric service in that it is much easier for new ISPs to enter the market than for a new phone or electric provider.

Finally, it is important to note that supporters of net neutrality cannot point to a specific instance of this so-called “internet discrimination” taking place on a large scale. It hasn’t happened because it would simply be a poor business decision on the part of the ISPs. In short, implementing net neutrality is unnecessary. However, using wild speculation and scare tactics as a basis, these activists (including Obama) are urging the government to overreach once more, this time into our Internet service.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned during this president’s term in office, it’s that America needs less government interference in business, not more.

That’s how our economy really grows. Net neutrality is a killer of innovation, and there are very few things that are more un-American than that.

If the government has to sign off on a prospective Internet company’s business model, it will slow down the process by years and likely act as a deterrent to new ideas.

“

S

ince the Republican Party gained control over both the House of Representatives and the Senate earlier this month, the American public can expect Republicans and President Barack Obama to butt heads over key issues with a fair amount of regularity. Most recently, one of those issues has been whether or not the Federal Communications Commission should be allowed to regulate the actions of Internet service providers.

The issue was first raised when the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. ruled in favor of Verizon against the FCC in January. Verizon took issue with t h e F C C ’s attempts to deny it the authority to slow or block certain Web traffic, according to a Bloomberg article.

The court decision was made because of a miscommunication on the FCC’s part, and the practice of “net neutrality” is being challenged as a result. Now the FCC may attempt to rewrite the rules to define the role of the Internet and those that provide it in order to restore the practice, according to the article.

I believe keeping net neutrality in place is the best decision the FCC can make regarding this issue.

According to the FCC, net neutrality is a term referencing the “open internet principles” broadband providers need to adhere to such as transparency in relation to its customers, no blocking of select content and no unreasonable discrimination against certain sites.

Tech volleyball loses to Sooners on senior day

By DIEGO GAYTAN

Raiders. Tech took its lone lead of the match early in the first set with a 5-3 lead over the Sooners, but Oklahoma forced seven consecutive points to take a 10-5 lead.

After the 7-0 run by the Sooner offense, Tech could not reclaim its early lead and dropped the set 25-18.

In the second set of the match, the Sooners took a 2-0 lead with a 25-21 set win.

The Sooners never gave up a lead to the Tech squad in the second set. The Red Raiders had a chance to take a lead with the score tied up at 9-9, but the Sooners scored three consecutive points to end the Tech threat.

The Oklahoma Sooners spoiled the Texas Tech volleyball team’s senior game with a 3-0 sweep Saturday evening in the United Supermarkets Arena.

Tech’s senior class includes middle blockers Mikia Mills and Sam Podroza, setter Nicole Hragyil, outside hitter Breeann David and libero Rachel Brummitt.

Brummitt said it was a tough loss for the Tech seniors.

“It was a bummer to lose that way,” Brummitt said. “We had fun and we did a lot of good things and it was exciting to play, just had fun with it.”

Oklahoma started the match with first-set win over the Red

ond set, David recorded her 1,000th career kill, making her the ninth player in Tech history to reach the 1,000-kill mark. “ It w a s e x c i ti n g , R a c h e l (Brummitt) had a hand count going the whole first set so I knew where I was at the whole time,” David said. “She said, ‘one more’ and I got that kill I just turned around and I was waiting for it because everyone was jumping.”

Oklahoma completed the sweep with a 25-15 third-set win over the Red Raiders.

Leading Tech 6-2, Oklahoma forced a 4-0 run after a Tech score to extend its lead to 10-3.

Tech cut the Sooners lead to as low as four points, but the Sooner offense never lost its

momentum and closed out the match with a 3-0 run.

Tech head coach Don Flora said the team needs to improve its blocking attack before its next match.

“We out-dug them in set two, but we just couldn’t stop them blocking-wise,” Flora said.

“That’s something that we’ve kind of done better.”

Junior outside hitter Jenna Allen finished the game leading the Tech offense in kills with 11. Brummitt had a teamleading 12 digs in Tech’s match against the Sooners.

Tech closes out its 2014 season versus the Iowa State Cyclones at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Hilton Coliseum. ➤➤dgaytan@dailytoreador.com

Dalton, Bengals top Watt, Texans 22-13 HOUSTON (AP) — Andy Dalton gave his father Greg a special 55th birthday present by finally getting a win in his hometown.

Dalton lost his first three games against the Houston Texans, including twice here in the playoffs, but threw for 233 yards and a touchdown to lead the Cincinnati Bengals to a 22-13 win on Sunday.

“It’s cool to get a win here,” Dalton said. “(And) have it timed

up where we were playing in Houston on his birthday. It’s a special day.”

Dalton got to chat with his father for a couple of minutes on his way off the field.

“He said ‘It was an awesome birthday,’” Dalton said. “I’m glad we got to have that moment.”

And for the first time in his career Dalton said he’d give the jersey from Sunday’s game to his dad.

The victory is Cincinnati’s second straight to keep the team in first place in the rugged AFC North.

It was Dalton’s second strong game and he again relied on A.J. Green, who is healthy after dealing with a toe injury. Green finished with a career-high 12 receptions for 121 yards against a secondary playing without cornerback Kareem Jackson (knee).

“It’s just one of those days man when you just feel in synch — the whole offense,” Green said. “Our running game really helped us out to keep me one on one a lot. It was nothing special.”

The Bengals (7-3-1) led throughout, but Houston (5-6) cut the lead to 3 late in the third quarter before Cincinnati tacked on two field goals in the fourth quarter to secure the win.

CHICAGO (AP) — More than 30 horses died in a stable fire in suburban Chicago over the weekend, with distraught owners of the animals arriving Sunday to lay flowers at the site, a fire department official said.

The fire Saturday occurred 50 miles northwest of Chicago at Valley View Acres, a boarding facility that also breeds and trains thoroughbreds and show-jumping horses, and offers riding lessons to children.

As firefighters arrived before midnight Saturday, the stable’s owners were running around the burning complex looking for ways to lead horses to safety as the two-story structure collapsed, Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Chief Paul Deraedt said in a phone interview.

“They were frantic,” he said about the stable’s owners, Tyson and Amber Bauman. “But nothing could have survived the conditions inside. ... They are devastated.”

TV footage of the scene Sunday morning showed blackened remains of the stable piled against a white fence and a damaged horse trailer, with firefighters still spraying water on smoldering wreckage.

“Talking to these people ... they were very close to their horses,” he said.

The Baumans were at an Illinois Hunter Jumper Association awards banquet Saturday and returned home after the blaze began, The Northwest Herald in Crystal Lake reported. Two of their children were at home but weren’t injured.

It was the Bauman’s son who awoke to the sound a fire crackling nearby and then called the fire department to say heavy smoke and flames were coming from the stable, Deraedt said.

Deraedt said five of 37 horses thought to have been in the stable when the fire began survived and are in good condition. He said 32 horses appeared to have perished, though authorities would finalize that number after sifting through the debris.

Authorities estimates the total value of the horses that perished at more than $1 million, with many of the individual horses valued at between $50,000 and $75,000.

After scoring four threepointers in the first half, Marshall made only one in the second half.

After the first half, senior guard Robert Turner said, the team put more pressure on Marshall to keep him from scoring from the outside.

“We got some heart and said, ‘we’re not going to let this guy kill us tonight,’” Turner said.

“We just denied him a little bit more, closed his air space, tried to make him put it on the floor instead of letting him get shots off.”

Missouri State out-rebounded Tech 13-12 in the first half, but Tech out-rebounded the Bears 28-9 in the second half.

Wi l l i a m s s a i d a f t e r t h e first half the team focused on playing more aggressively at the post.

“If you see a loose man, put a body on him and box him out,” Williams said. “If he’s close to the rim, push him under the backboard, if he’s on the perimeter, keep him on the perimeter.”

Tech moves on to face the Northwestern State Demons in its next home game at 7 p.m. Tuesday. ➤➤dgaytan@dailytoreador.com

Texas Tech battles for fourth win of season

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

Behind historic performances from freshman quarterback Patrick Mahomes and junior running back DeAndre Washington, the Texas Tech football team earned its first road win since Sept. 6 by defeating Iowa State 34-31 Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium.

The Red Raiders snapped a three-game losing streak while extending their winning streak against the Cyclones to three games.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said he was proud of his freshman quarterback for playing well and getting his first career victory. “(Mahomes has) got a lot of competitive spirit. He always thinks he’s going to win and he thinks he’s the best player every time he goes out there,” Kingsbury said. “The one interception was a bad call on me throwing that out and then once again when we fumbled bad play called. I thought he protected it well. He extended a bunch of plays and I’m very proud of how he carried himself.”

Mahomes finished the game with 328 passing yards on 23 of 35 attempts with four touchdowns and

Hughes said since he made the shot, people randomly identify him between classes and at other places on campus. Hughes, however, said he has not wanted the added attention.

“People have been spotting me all around campus up at the Rec and stuff,” Hughes said. “They always question me like ‘was that you that hit the shot?’ and I just deny it most of the time. I don’t want the attention.”

one interception.

His four touchdowns made him the first freshman Tech quarterback to throw four touchdowns in consecutive games, according to a Tech Athletics press release.

Washington gave the Red Raiders an early 14-0 lead behind his first receiving touchdown of the season and a 72-yard run, the ninth-longest run in school history.

The junior running back would end up having a career day as he ran for 188 yards on 20 attempts plus two catches for 51 yards and two total touchdowns.

With the 188 rushing yards, Washington went over 1,000 yards on the ground this season. He is the first Red Raider running back to reach that mark since 1998.

After the game, he said his historic season is due to his offensive line working all year.

“Man the offensive line did a magnificent job. Feels good even more so since we got the win,” he said. “They came to me at about week six saying I was going to get to 1,000. I took it one game at a time, but it definitely feels good.”

Tech’s 14-0 lead disappeared as Iowa State scored 24 unanswered points.

Kingsbury said halftime was focused on not giving up a second half lead.

In the third quarter, sophomore wide receiver Devin Lauderdale showed off his speed and scored back-to-back touchdowns.

Trailing 24-14 in the second half, Tech ran a fake punt and senior running back Kenny Williams ran the ball for 44 yards. Mahomes found Lauderdale in the end zone on the next play.

The second touchdown, an 82yard strike, was the fourth-longest touchdown catch in school history, according to the release, and gave Tech a 27-24 advantage.

Now with six touchdowns for the season, Lauderdale said he just tries to make as many as he can to help his team win.

“Just catch the ball and make a play,” Lauderdale said. “Playmakers make plays and that is what they consider me as.”

Also in the third quarter, junior linebacker Pete Robertson recorded his 10th sack of the season, the most in a season for a Red Raider since 2009. He is now tied for 8th on the single-season sack list and 10th on the career sack list, according to the release.

I don’t want the attention.

The Cyclones found the end zone early in the fourth quarter to claim a 31-27 lead with just more than 13 minutes left.

On the next drive, the Red Raiders failed to convert on fourth down, but the Cyclones missed a 42-yard field goal after taking over.

Tech then drove 75 yards in seven plays topped off by Kenny Williams catching a pass and taking it 44 yards to the end zone. The go-ahead touchdown gave the Red Raiders a 34-31 advantage with four minutes remaining in the game.

Tech’s defense held Iowa State and allowed the offense to run out the clock and secure the fourth win of the season.

The win gives Kingsbury a career record of 12-12 and his first comeback win after trailing at halftime.

Kingsbury said the team showed heart by still playing hard after being assured of a losing season.

“Great energy the entire night.

That was a big question on how they were going to be motivated.

It’s a prideful group and we’ve been disappointed all year,” he said. “They know that and it was a great chance to show people we have some character in that locker room.” ➤➤jkrakosky@dailytoreador.com

would be a little more calm.”

Hughes said he’ll always remain a dedicated fan to the Tech basketball team, but with his graduation date in the near future, he knows he can’t always attend as many basketball games as he attends now.

Hughes said he wants another fan to take his place as a leading figure of the Tech basketball fan base.

“I may have to pass the torch to someone,” Hughes said. “I don’t think I can come back after I’ve graduated, and I’m not a student and have the mask and all that stuff on.

That’d be crazy.” ➤➤dgaytan@dailytoreador.com
