sperger said. “We had lots of support from the city and from our friends down there.”

Although no very well-known rappers have come from Austin, multitudes of famous country, pop and electronic musicians had their first gig in Austin.

According to an article posted by The Grooves, a local Austin band, it is unknown how Austin became such a popular musician destination.

“Austin, Texas, is renowned as the live music capital of the world, touted as having the most local Austin bands per capita of any city in the nation,” according to the article.

Once Dellsperger moved to Lubbock to pursue an education, he didn’t give up on his musical dreams.

However, it has become a lot more difficult to find spaces willing to let him perform in Lubbock, Dellsperger said.

“It’s just a whole different atmosphere up here than it is in Austin,” Dellsperger said. “I don’t know if it is because hip-hop isn’t as popular here or what, but it just has been harder to find people who don’t just want big-name artists.”

Although WCK was able to find venues to perform in back in Austin, many musicians have trouble becoming booked.

According to the article posted by the Grooves, many people come to Austin in hopes of finding someone who will book them.

Eminem, Kanye West and Lil Wayne are a few of the most well-known rappers in the hip-hop industry today.

Texas Tech student, Dalton Dellsperger, has been an aspiring artist in the music industry for several years.

Dellsperger, a sophomore public relations major from Austin, first entered college as an undeclared major and said he wasn’t sure exactly what he wanted to do when he first left for school.

“I had already been involved with rapping for a few years in high school,” he said. “It had never even crossed my mind that I could have a career that involved my music though.”

He first got into music and rapping when he started freestyling with his friends his junior year of high school.

Dellsperger and his friends became into it, he said, and decided to form a band.

“We put together a band called Weird City Kids,” Dellsperger said, “and started writing our own music in hopes of being able to perform around town.”

WCK started performing at open-mic nights and local venues all across Austin.

“Because it’s the live music capital, new artists are always welcome to perform around town,” Dell-

The League of American Bicyclists officially named Texas Tech a Bronze Bicycle Friendly University on Monday at a reception hosted in the Matador Room in the Student Union Building.

BikeTexas ambassadors, Allene and Durwood Mayfield, presented the award to Tech Transportation and Parking Services faculty as well as Student Government Association and Bicycle Coordinating Committee members at the reception.

Currently, Tech is the first in the state to receive the award and is only one of two in the state to be named as a Bronze Bicycle Friendly University, with the other being the University of Texas at Austin.

The awards vary, with the highest award being a Diamond Bicycle Friendly University.

During the ceremony Eric Crouch, Transportation and Parking Services managing director, said he hopes to see the university become the first Diamond Bicycle Friendly University in the country.

The Bicycle Friendly University program, according to the League of American Bicyclists website, provides a roadmap and technical assistance to create great campuses for cycling.

ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

BUSINESS: 806-742-3388

The program evaluates applicants’ efforts to promote bicycling in five primary areas: engineering, encouragement, education, enforcement and evaluation/planning.

Craig Cotton, the Transportation Demand management director from Levelland, said he thinks they are to the point where the groups can focus on the education side of the program now.

The campus has done some education in the past, he said, but they have not had enough money to work on both education and infrastructure.

“We felt it was more important to the students,” Cotton said, “and the feedback from the students reflected it that we improve our infrastructure first and improve on education after that.”

David Polcari, a senior petroleum engineering major from Richardson, said the award is recognition for people who put in a lot of work toward improving bicycling on campuses.

He said he came across the League of American Bicyclists while Googling to see what other universities have done to make their universities more biker friendly.

“I started the application process,” Polcari said. “I filled out as much as I could, which wasn’t very much, and then I passed it on to Craig Cotton and his group.”

The application, Polcari said, was originally submitted in May.

Campus water stations save money, environment

By CHELSEA GRUNDEN Staff Writer

The Texas Tech campus serves as host to many water bottle refilling stations, giving students an opportunity to fill up their water bottles in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way.

These water stations contain typical drinking fountains for students to drink out of, but also have a place for students to place their water bottles and have them refilled. These stations are identifiable by the counter on the top, which estimates how many plastic water bottles were saved by the specific machine.

Lonnie Evans, director of building maintenance and construction, said he had the idea for the refilling stations from University Student Housing and

started the initiative to spread the idea outside of residence halls.

More than a year ago, Evans said he began the initiative with replacing three of the “old-type drinking fountains” in the Physical Plant. As they were doing remodeling on the building, he took it as an opportunity to change out all the older fountains with the new style.

After installing the stations in his building, he then spread the innovations with the Central Heating and Cooling Plants, where he had three stations installed. The first six stations he had installed helped give him positive feedback, he said.

“That gave us a chance to see what all was involved because every one we’ve done has been a little different,” Evans said.

“Between this building and that building, we did six and we were able to see the pros and the cons. The people who have come through this building for meetings and other things have said it’s neat.”

Evans is in charge of the water bottle refilling station initiatives in all buildings besides athletics and housing, he said. His efforts include Drane Hall, the Student Union Building and the Music building.

Evans said he currently is working with the SUB to replace all of its older fountains.

Evans has taken the initiative to try to turn all old fountains into the new kind when they go bad, he said.

The cost to take an old fountain out and replace it with a new one is between $2,000 and

$2,100, Evans said.

This cost, he said, includes costs of renovating the electric and drain line and the cost of the purchase itself.

“We’re changing them out as needed,” he said. “In other words, I’ve told the guys if they have to replace a drinking fountain unit to go with the new bottle filler type.”

After the units are installed, Evans said they do not require extensive work to maintain.

He said every six months to a year, depending on the frequency of use at the given station, the filters require updating and there is a cost to maintain the machines, but it is minute in the big picture.

Ariel Rogers, a freshman exercise and sport sciences major from Alvord, said the water bottle refilling stations are really

CUTE Club hosts Sustainability Month

By CHELSEA GRUNDEN Staff Writer

The Clean Up the Environment Club hosted Sustainability Month this month to help increase students’ awareness of many environmental issues as well as how they can become more environmentally friendly on a day-to-day basis.

Megan Wright, a sophomore psychology major from Conifer, Colo., and chairwoman for the club, said the month has been very successful in promoting several aspects.

Last week’s theme was electricity conservation, which encompasses ways a student could use less electricity.

Wright suggests students do little things, such as turning off lights whenever they can and unplugging any plug currently not in use.

She said having a phone or laptop charger plugged in wastes electricity, even when

it is not connected or charging anything.

Wright said many people are unaware of this and little things add up quickly, which ultimately increases the numbers of both electricity bills and the amount of energy wasted. “ I t ’s i m p o r t a n t b e c a u s e last year, with the residence halls alone, from September 2012 to August 2013, we spent $1,300,000 on electricity and obviously that all doesn’t come from somebody who just leaves their lights on for a while,” she said. “All of the little things add up.”

This week’s sustainability theme was carpooling and busing.

Wright said carpooling could help a student in many ways.

Not only would it ultimately cost the student less in gas money, but it also adds an element of safety.

She said in a video made

by CUTE Club, the members

described how having more people in a car, especially during nighttime hours, can help a driver stay more awake and thus improve the safety in the car.

The greatest benefit Wright said she finds in carpooling, though, is that it lessens the amount of pollution put out into the world.

“A lot of times, people will be going to a location and will be meeting friends there and will all separately take their cars,” she said. “We think people should carpool because, first off, it saves you money because you’re splitting gas money, but another thing that’s very important is that it helps with the pollution because if you’re meeting four friends at the location and all of you take the same car, it’s a lot less pollution than taking five separate cars.”

She said she thinks the club will continue to promote progress with Sustainability Month in upcoming years.

Wright said students, overall, could promote sustainability in their everyday lives by doing little things, as she explained with carpooling and electricity conservation, but also in other aspects.

She said some tips for students are to turn their water off while brushing their teeth to promote water conservation, and recycle anything that can be recycled to lessen the waste going into a landfill.

CUTE Club made videos for every week’s theme, which Wright said could be found on its Facebook page.

Sustainability Month and the videos the group members made have given CUTE Club a name and promoted its Facebook page, Wright said.

It was a good tool to help students become more sustainable, she said, but also was helpful as a promotional campaign about the club. ➤➤cgrunden@dailytoredor.com

“When I first submitted it, I didn’t even expect to get recognized,” Polcari said. “The whole reason I wanted to was because if you do or do not get it, they give

convenient.

Rogers lives in Hulen Residence Hall and said she wishes there was a water bottle refilling station there, so it could be even more convenient.

She said she uses the stations in Gates Residence Hall and the SUB at least a few times a week and that the stations are important because they offer clean, drinkable water.

“They’re helpful because I don’t want to use sink water and that water is actually drinking water,” she said. “Me and my roommate go through so many bottles of water. We go to WalMart at least once a week to get a 24 pack of water and that’s just wasteful. It’s really convenient when we can just carry around our bottle of water and just refill it.”

Evans said improving the technology in the water fountains helps improve sustainable habits around campus as well.

He said he has seen many faculty members and students carrying around reusable water bottles to lessen the amount of plastic that ends up in a landfill.

“I just think they’re really a good unit and something that’s really helping not only your pocketbook, but the plastic issue in general,” Evans said. “If you buy one bottle and use it several times, it really helps with the recycling, so that’s another good advantage.”

Evans said he likes the positive effects of the water bottle refilling stations, and he hopes to continue to implement them as long as he works for Tech. ➤➤cgrunden@dailytoredor.com

Travelers cast wary eye as storm moves eastward DALLAS (AP) — A winter storm blamed for at least 10 fatal accidents in the West and Texas threatens to dampen the Thanksgiving holiday for millions of Americans traveling this week.

Nearly 300 American Airlines and American Eagle flights were canceled in and out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on Monday due to the weather, spokeswoman Laura Masvidal said, mirroring disruptions at the air hub a day earlier. Some of the country’s busiest airports — New York, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston and Charlotte, N.C. — could see big delays.

Icy roads led to hundreds of accidents and at least 10 deaths, half of them in Texas. On Monday, the storm brought a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain to parts of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, southern Kansas and Texas. But as the storm continues east, there are fears of heavy rain along the busy Interstate 95 corridor and sleet, freezing rain and snow away from the coast and at higher elevations.

Tom Kines, a meteorologist with AccuWeather, said it will be “primarily a rain event” for the East Coast, with up to three inches of rain dousing travelers.

“The further inland you get —

especially as you get into that higher terrain — you are going to deal with frozen precipitation,” Kines said. Snow could fall in western Pennsylvania and the interior of New England. Up to 9 inches could blanket northern parts of West Virginia, where the National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning from Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon.

Jeff Smidt is traveling Wednesday from his home in Toronto to visit his family in Andover, Mass., just outside Boston.

“My understanding is that I’m traveling at like the worst time ever,” he said.

Students prepare to work Black Friday

By CALLIE POINDEXTER Staff Writer

Thousands of holiday shoppers still full from their Thanksgiving meal will flock to Lubbock stores Thursday evening to participate in Black Friday shopping.

Some of those in attendance, however, are not there to shop.

Many Texas Tech students employed at retail, department and chain stores leave the dinner table on Thanksgiving Day to report for duty.

Brittany Clemandot, a senior anthropology major from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., will work her third Black Friday, working this year as a key holder at Earthbound Trading Co. in the South Plains Mall.

She said she didn’t necessarily volunteer to do so, however.

“Nobody got a choice in it,” Clemandot said. “If you are employed there, you have to work

Black Friday. Trying to ask off for it wouldn’t even happen. It’s pretty much ‘OK, then you have to go find another job.’”

Many of the shoppers hoping for Black Friday deals become hostile at times, Clemandot said.

Her first Black Friday, she said, was spent as a sales associate at Bath and Body Works.

“It was actually really busy,” she said, “because they had these specials where if you bought so much stuff then you got, like, free stuff, and I think any store in the mall on Black Friday sucks.

It’s just really busy and a lot to keep up with.”

This year, employees at Earthbound will begin preparing after closing Wednesday night by organizing the store, posting new sale signs and making sure all employees are updated on the correct procedures.

Stores went from opening at 6 a.m. Friday in years past, to midnight Friday and, finally, at 8

p.m. Thursday evening, she said.

“That’s still Thanksgiving,” Clemandot said. “I don’t know why because normally on my Thanksgiving, like, at home, I’m still with my family hanging out with them, not getting ready to go shopping.”

She will work from midnight to 7 a.m. this year, she said, and will not be paid extra for working a holiday.

Edgar Cecena, a senior civil engineering major from Carrollton, said he will work his third Black Friday from 8 p.m.

Thursday evening to 7 a.m.

Friday morning at Sears in the South Plains Mall and will return after a break and work 4 p.m. to close Friday.

“It’s actually surprisingly hectic,” Cecena said. “Before the store even opens, probably a couple of hours before, there’s a line almost wrapped around the side of the building and the side of the building is like almost a

hundred yards.”

Shoppers have to be directed by managers so no one is injured, Cecena said, and the first three hours the store is open are extremely busy.

A large part of preparing for Black Friday is making sure all of the sales posted are accurate so there are no misunderstandings, Cecena said.

“Because the last thing you want to do is try to fix a problem with one customer,” Cecena said, “when you have hundreds of others waiting in line. That can cause like a big buildup.”

Although he has seen customers push each other while riding the escalator, Cecena said for the most part the managers put a stop to any of those instances quickly to keep customers safe.

Because he is paid based on commission, Cecena said he chose to work Black Friday.

“From my past two experiences on Black Friday,” Cecena

said, “it’s definitely worth it.

You do some sacrificing, but it’s worth it.”

Benjamin Klaassen, a junior psychology major from Big Spring, said he was employed at Wal-Mart for six months and worked Black Friday during his time there.

Shoppers were impatient for the sales to begin, grabbing items before the scheduled time, he said, and when it was finally time to begin, things became hectic.

“It got really loud,” Klaassen said. “They just started grabbing stuff. I guess people didn’t really fight, I didn’t see any fights, but it was just chaos pretty much is the one word. It would take maybe a minute and the whole pallet would be gone.”

Many shoppers became angry after learning Wal-Mart did not have a certain scooter in stock and were screaming at employees, he said.

He did not enjoy working at

Wal-Mart because the pay was not adequate for the amount of work required, he said, and he was not happy about working Black Friday either.

“You were supposed to get paid time and a half if you had been there for six months,” Klaassen said, “but at that time I had been there like five and a half, so I didn’t get the holiday pay. So I just stayed up until like four or five in the morning working for $7.45 an hour.”

Cecena said although he is glad to work, he does not think shopping the Black Friday deals is worth the trouble of missing time with his family on Thanksgiving.

“I think a few years ago,” Cecena said, “it may have been, but recently there’s been more and more online buying and online Black Friday deals, so, yeah, right now I really don’t think it would be worth it. Unless you want to partake in something like that.” ➤➤cpoindexter@dailytoreador.com

Trial over disputed Fawcett Gym clothes became fashionable portrait opens in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES (AP) — A trial over the ownership of an Andy Warhol portrait of Farrah Fawcett opened Monday with lawyers for Ryan O’Neal and the University of Texas at Austin each telling jurors they have evidence that shows they should be awarded possession of the artwork.

The university’s lawyers told the panel of six women and six men that Fawcett repeatedly described herself as the portrait’s owner before her death in 2009, and her dying wishes included that all her artwork be given to the school.

O’Neal’s lawyer said, however, that the university is relying on witnesses who had animosity toward the Oscarnominated actor and evidence would show the disputed artwork was a gift to O’Neal from Warhol.

Warhol created two portraits of Fawcett for a television special in 1980. They are currently separated by thousands of miles, with one hanging in a museum at Fawcett’s alma mater and the other on display in O’Neal’s beachside home.

David Beck, an attorney for the university, told jurors that O’Neal took the disputed portrait from Fawcett’s home after her death and should have to give it to the school.

Beck noted that Fawcett had both portraits hanging in her condominium when she died after a lengthy battle with cancer in June 2009.

“One of them was hanging in her living room and one at the entrance to her bedroom on the day of her death,” Beck said.

O’Neal’s lawyer Marty Singer rejected the university’s characterization of O’Neal’s actions, saying the actor had permission to take the portrait from Fawcett’s home.

O’Neal contends he introduced Warhol to Fawcett and requested that he receive one of the artist’s portraits of the model and “Charlie’s Angels” star.

Warhol gave Fawcett and O’Neal several pieces of art during his lifetime, Singer said, including a napkin drawing that the actor says the university should

return to him.

“Apparently for this university, one iconic Warhol portrait is not enough,” Singer said.

Beck showed jurors Fawcett’s living trust and told the panel that the actress chose not to leave anything to O’Neal. There’s evidence that Fawcett described both of the portraits as her own, Beck said.

“We are now told, since Farrah is now dead and can’t speak for herself, and Andy Warhol is dead and can’t speak for himself, Mr. O’Neal says that portrait was never Farrah’s to begin with,” Beck said.

Warhol created the two portraits in 1980 from Polaroid pictures he shot of Fawcett for a television special aired by “20/20”. The two portraits were slightly different and meant to be displayed sideby-side, Beck said. He showed the jury a picture of Fawcett with both images in the background, one which had her hair colored in, the other one colorless except for her eyes and lips.

tion, they would support me with whatever music dreams I want to pursue after,” Dellsperger said. “They have always been really supportive of my music though.”

The Tech School of Music offers musical education classes for majors and nonmajors, which Dellsperger plans to take in the future.

He said he is interested in taking a few audio-music editing classes along with piano lessons.

“I want to do anything I can to further my education with music more formally,” Dellsperger said. “I already know what I’ve taught myself, but there is so much more I can learn.”

During his free time, Dellsperger writes songs and records music in his

mini-studio at his house.

Dellsperger said he already has about nine original tracks recorded as well as several other mix tapes.

“It only takes an hour to two to record each song and the words just kind of come to me naturally,” Dellsperger said. “I’ve just always connected with music so well, and it has been my outlet for everything.”

He plans on trying to get his name known more in Lubbock, Dellsperger said, and is going to chase his goals while going through school and after he graduates.

“Unfortunately, the number of Austin bands outweigh the number of gig offerings, so only the most talented people end up getting jobs,” the article said. “Many people that move out here end up just heading back to their homes where they have less competition to deal with.”

NEW YORK (AP) — So long, dingy sweatpants.

Workout clothes for women, once relegated to the back of the closet, are moving to the front of the fashion scene.

Yoga pants are the new jeans, neon sports bras have become the “it” accessory and long athletic socks are hipper than high heels.

“I’ve actually had more excitement buying workout gear than normal jeans and dresses,” says Amanda Kleinhenz, 27, who wears workout gear both in and outside of the gym in Cleveland. “I want to look good.” aIn fact, sales of workout gear are growing faster than sales of everyday clothing — by a lot. Spending on workout clothes jumped 7 percent to $31.6 billion during the 12-month period that ended in August from the same period a year ago. That compares with a 1 percent rise in spending for other clothing to about $169.2 billion.

But these aren’t cheap cotton T-shirts and spandex jumpsuits. Top designers like Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney and Alexander Wang all rolled out fitness chic clothing lines,

with everything from $50 leggings to $125 zip-front hoodies and $225 long john sweatpants. And big nationwide retailers like Gap, Forever 21, Victoria Secret and Macy’s have fitness lines, too.

“Active has become an important part of what customers are wearing,” says Karen Hoguet, chief financial officer at Macy’s, which is expanding its active wear label to 400 stores from 160. “Sometimes it’s for athletic endeavors. Sometimes it’s just to run errands.”

This is the latest evolution in fitness fashion. Sweatpants and tees were the hallmark of athletic clothing for decades. That changed with the invention of spandex in 1959, then again with the aerobics craze of the 1980s when tights, leotards, legwarmers and nylon track suits became popular.

Athletic gear giants like Nike, Reebok and Adidas were popular for years as synthetic material like Gore Tex and Lyrcra gained popularity because of their performance qualities. Then, in the late 1990s, it became cool to wear workout clothes everywhere after the Lu-

lulemon athletic chain opened and gained a loyal following of fitness enthusiasts willing to shell out $100 for yoga pants.

Annie Georgia Greenberg, a New York editor for style blog Refinery29, says she noticed the trend at the New York Fashion week in September as more people were choosing shoes like the neon Nike Free Flyknit over designer pumps.

Greenberg herself paired a “Gold’s Gym” t-shirt and Adidas Samba sneakers with a two-piece bejeweled suit — something she wouldn’t have done a couple years ago.

“It is almost cooler to be comfortable and athletic and feel like yourself than to be overly glam,” Greenberg says.

Fitness chic also sends a message to others that you are living a healthy lifestyle, says Noreen Naroo, senior creative director for apparel at fitness brand Under Armour. Recently, Naroo did a mile run at her daughter’s elementary school with leggings, a sports bra, t-shirt and sneakers. She changed from her sneakers into boots to go to work.

Students should appreciate parental financial support Mollie Johnson ning to amount to what they did.

Money aside, there are still problems with attitudes such as this. When a person becomes used to not working hard and lazing through life now, what will happen when they have a job later? A future is prepared in more ways than one, and part of that future is work ethic.

A person that doesn’t work to their fullest potential at things such as school will either be slapped in the face hard when they do receive a job, or won’t have the ability to maintain it.

Once a habit is begun, it can be very difficult to drastically change, as many are aware.

The job description doesn’t

matter. A lazy doctor could kill someone, just as a lazy bus driver could kill someone. The jobs are very different, but both keep society functioning in an organized manner and require the alert, hardworking type, as most jobs do.

here are two episodes of “The Cosby Show” that everyone should watch before they leave for college.

In both segments, Theo is growing up and acting exceedingly arrogant, which is not uncommon for his particular character. He believes he has the world all figured out, that he can do whatever he wants. In the first one, through the use of some hypothetical circumstances and monopoly money, he soon realizes he doesn’t.

In this scenario, Theo is under the impression that because he doesn’t want to be a doctor or lawyer, he does not need to make good grades or try hard. He just wants to be a “regular person” that aspires to work at a gas station or drive a bus, therefore what do grades matter? He also gives a speech about how his parents should love him because he is their son and not to look down on him because he is not plan-

clothes, paying your rent, cellphone, gas and other bills add up fast, and then after all that, in the words of Heathcliff, “There is a problem, you haven’t eaten yet.”

The second episode, titled “Theo’s Holiday,” is very similar in some ways. Theo is a little older, but just as cocky and now aspires to be a model. At the beginning, he owes everyone in his family money, and they are angry yet patient because he is family, but they inform him that in the real world people will not just take his word for payback.

As many of us know, this is the truth of the circumstance.

The next day Theo’s family transforms their house into the real world. Theo’s room is now an unfurnished apartment. After the security deposit, along with first and last months’ rent, Theo is not left with much. With an unsteady job and not much else, he cannot secure a loan.

He didn’t realize how hard it is to enter the modeling business,

or how much startup things such as headshots cost. He also did not realize how much furniture could cost. It was a big eye opener for Theo, as I expect it would be for most, and at the end of the day he was in an empty room with no food, electricity, furniture or utilities.

At the end of this episode, Theo makes a remark about how he’s fine because he has everything he needs. In response, Heathcliff talks about how with their wallet he wants to live like the rich and famous, but now he’s happy having everything he needs.

It’s not uncommon to witness attitudes such as Theo’s in young people. Understand what your life would look like without a parent’s steady income. Be smart, prepared and grateful for what you have.

Animal cruelty has Obamacare threatens student health coverage no legitimate excuse

By THE OKLAHOMA DAILY EDITORIAL BOARD

The oklahoma Daily (u. oklahoma)

The Daily Cougar (u. housTon)

The argument that people put too much information on the Internet has been made time and time again.

Not only are people updating the world with every single thought that crosses their mind, but they will also post pictures of themselves committing illegal acts. People can now be seen taking pictures of themselves being cruel to animals and posting it to the world with no foreshadowing of consequence.

Consequences were not on the mind of Mary Snell and her son Britton Engel from New Mexico when they documented an act of animal cruelty to Snell’s Facebook. Snell asked Engel to take a picture of their new chihuahua puppy, Baby, so that she could post it to Facebook to show her friends how small the puppy was.

It would have been simple to take a picture of Baby next to something of equal size like a shoe or a throw pillow; instead, Snell put the puppy into a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Snell was seen smiling as the puppy was horizontal at the bottom of the bag.

While the top of the bag was being held open, the puppy did have its little nose tightly pressed into the plastic corner.

Those bags are intended to store food and perishables — not small puppies. If one looks at this picture, it’s easy to see that this position would be very uncomfortable for the puppy. How this idea would even cross someone’s mind is completely beyond me. This is a small, defenseless animal, and this woman’s first thought is to stick it into a freezer bag.

Luckily, a person of sound mind spotted this picture on Snell’s Facebook and contacted the authorities.

Snell and Engel are now facing charges for extreme animal cruelty and the puppy is being kept by family members.

According to krqe.com, Snell

told officials that she knew it was wrong to put Baby in the Ziploc bag, but she couldn’t figure out how to get the puppy to hold still for the picture any other way.

In this same article, Sergeant Aaron Williamson of the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department is said to have spoken with Animal Care Services to figure out how this scenario could have ended for the puppy.

“The young puppy doesn’t have the ability to move its head to get to fresh supply of oxygen,” he said.

“The way it was positioned in the bag, (Animal Care Services) said it would’ve only taken a few seconds to cause the puppy to suffocate.”

Unfortunately, animal cruelty is an issue that has been around for a long time and likely will not easily disappear. While posting evidence of animal cruelty online is a new addition, the act itself is not.

Humanesociety.org reports that “dogs — and pit bull-type dogs, in particular — are the most common victims of animal cruelty.”

Although dogs are the most common, cats and other animals are also being abused. Believe it or not, Snell is also not the first person stupid and cruel enough to post evidence of animal cruelty online.

According to nydailynews.com, there have been a few cases of teens abusing animals and posting them online – some of which are very gruesome. There was a teenage boy from Chicago was caught after shooting three neighborhood kittens with a bow and arrow and posting pictures of their mutilated bodies online.

It makes me sick to my stomach to hear how people can show such cruelty to something that is so dependent on human love and support.

These people are not small children who are holding an animal a little too tightly — they are adults who need to be punished for their actions.

Fight for the defenseless — fight animal cruelty.

By now we all know about the nearcomical problems with the federal Obamacare website. The real issue now is that millions of people have lost their existing health care policies due to cancellations — something our president promised the American people wouldn’t happen.

President Barack Obama announced two weeks ago that Americans whose health insurance plans were being canceled due to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act should be allowed to keep those plans for one more year.

While this was the right move, we feel that the Obama administration should do more than scrounge together temporary fixes for the deeply troubled healthcare law.

The one-year extension only applies to people who purchased their potentially canceled plans prior to the passage of Obamacare in 2010. However, President Obama promised Americans time and time again that if they liked their existing plan, they could keep it and wouldn’t be forced to sign up for Obamacare, not that

for a year, it doesn’t solve the problem.

College students now have yet another worry added to their plates: what to do about health insurance. Rising seniors could be faced with the reality of a recently-canceled insurance plan upon graduation. Whereas before, students on their parents’ plan needn’t worry. It’s possible the security of Mom and Dad’s plan will be gone next year.

And students who pay for healthcare on their own can expect higher premiums, if they plan to keep their existing policy. An extensive, 49-state analysis, conducted by the Manhattan Institute and released Nov. 4, reveals that Obamacare will increase existing premiums by an average of 41 percent. Young and healthy individuals, aka the average college student, will face the steepest price hikes.

The Affordable Care Act was developed with an undeniably noble goal: to create a program providing quality, attainable health insurance to the approximately 48 million uninsured people in this country.

However, the current state of the healthcare law is shaky at best. Starting March 31, 2014, if you don’t have health

insurance or obtain an exemption, you will have to pay 1 percent of your income or $95, whichever is greater, as a penalty under Obamacare.

But that means that unless the troubled federal website is fixed prior to year’s end, and the Obama administration has already said it will not be perfect by Nov. 30, uninsured Americans will be penalized for not enrolling in a program they didn’t have practical access to.

It’s time for the Obama administration to step forward and encourage legislation that does more than extend plans for one year. The president promised Americans they could keep their plans if they wanted, not that they could keep their plans for maybe one more year.

Obama needs to truly make good on his promise and help pass legislation to modify the Affordable Care Act to allow people to keep their healthcare plans. The new healthcare law is designed to provide Americans access to healthcare plans, not to force people to purchase a governmentsubsidized commodity.

A law designed to help the masses has fallen by the wayside, and without major stopgap measures, it may do more harm than help in the short-run.

Pet ownership a big responsibility, cannot be taken lightly

By ANDREW SARTAIN

The oklahoma Daily (u. oklahoma)

Loved animals are everywhere.

But unfortunately, abandoned ones are too. Nowadays, you can find ten stray dogs for every lucky one that has a good home. It is nearly impossible to tally the total number of stray animals in the U.S. — outof-control breeding makes it difficult to track what is on the streets at any point in time.

With cats alone, it is estimated that there are up to 70 million strays in the U.S. Homeless animals outnumber homeless people 5 to 1.

Most of these animals are lost pets that weren’t responsibly kept indoors or didn’t have proper identification.

they could possibly keep their plans with a one-year expiration date.

The extension only delays the inevitable for a year. After that, the health insurance companies will most likely cancel the plans as they were already beginning to do. The continuation of plans on the chopping block is at the discretion of the insurance companies.

Should they choose not to backpedal and re-implement canceled plans, President Obama’s announcement does little good.

Indeed, as of last Wednesday, five states — Massachusetts, Minnesota, Rhode Island, New York and Washington — have announced they will not allow insurers to reinstate canceled plans.

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking the mountain of issues with the recently implemented healthcare act won’t affect you. You might think you don’t need to worry about insurance policy cancellations because you’re on your parents’ or guardian’s plan. In reality, that plan might not exist after next year.

Estimations of the number of canceled individual health insurance plans prior to Obama’s announcement vary wildly, some into the tens of millions. While some of those cancellations may now be reversed

basis, and in the last 10 days, something utterly ridiculous continued to happen again and again.

Within two days, I rescued three different dogs running wild in my neighborhood. The first followed my dog and I home. It was a cute puppy that loved to play and was freezing — I had barely opened my front door before she bolted past me in the house.

It turns out the owner is an OU student who was training the puppy to be a duck hunting dog. Luckily, this puppy had a tag that had the City of Norman hotline number labeled on it. When I called the number, a lady kindly gave me the owner’s information and reminded me that, “If you take the animal to the local shelter, it will have five days to find a home before being euthanized.

Good luck!”

The next day I met the owner in the park to give him his loyal com-

panion. As we sat and talked, another stray dog came out of nowhere. I paused, sighed and put the dog in my car. The homeowners labeled on the dog tag would not answer. After confirming with the neighbor it was their dog, she said, “You can put the dog in the backyard but it will get out again. They don’t care or ever look for it.”

As if this hadn’t already been a pain, I took the dog and put him in the back gate. No exaggeration — I turn to see a large, beautiful white dog staring at me from the street. No collar but a look as if to say, “Hey, are you the guy taking everyone home?”

The point to these stories is that 5 to 7 million animals enter animal shelters every year. Three to 4 million of those are killed every year because the shelters are too full and aren’t enough adopting homes.

It’s sad that only one out of every 10 dogs born will actually find a perCopyright © 2013 Texas Tech University Student Media/The Daily Toreador. All DT articles, photographs and artwork are the property of The DT and Student Media and may not be reproduced or published without permission.

manent home. We spent hundreds of years domesticating these animals to want, love and need human affection — all to come to a point where we don’t care enough to look after them.

Owning a pet is not the same as owning a t-shirt. They don’t just go out of style and their needs don’t disappear just because you “give it away.”

Less than two percent of cats and 15 percent of dogs are returned to their owners, according to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy (NCPPSP).

If you decide to get a pet, look at it as a 20-year investment, not 2 months. It is bad enough that we can’t sufficiently care for the wild population of animals on this planet, as at least 10,000 species go extinct yearly.

But how can we have hope humans will evolve to care for all creatures when we can’t even care for the ones we bring into our homes?

Red Raiders take on Longhorns for 63rd time

By EVERETT CORDER Staff Writer

Texas Tech (7-4, 4-4) hasn’t won a game against Texas (7-3, 6-1) in Austin since 1997, but that is what the Red Raiders will need to do to break their current four-game skid.

The Longhorns are 45-15 in the rivalry game with the Red Raiders, including a 29-5 record in Darrell K. Royal Memorial Stadium.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said he did not always have fun playing in Austin, but there is a cool atmosphere in the stadium and he is excited for the team to experience it. “(My days playing at DKR) weren’t great,” Kingsbury said.

“Coach (Mack) Brown has done a tremendous job down there.

We’ve had some tough days, but it’s a cool atmosphere, great stadium, great fan support down there. So I think it will be fun for our players.”

The rivalry between Tech and Texas dates back to 1928, and

since 1996, the winning team has been awarded the Chancellor’s Spurs trophy.

Tech junior tight end Jace Amaro said the team wants to close out the regular season strong and beating the Longhorns would help it gain momentum entering its bowl game.

“Yeah, we haven’t won down there in like 16 years, I think,” Amaro said. “In the beginning of the season you’re always circling these guys because this is the big in state rivalry game, and it’s our last game, and you want to finish strong. If we get a chance to win this game, it’s definitely going to have a lot of momentum going into the bowl week.”

The Longhorns and the Red Raiders had last week off, so both teams had almost two weeks to prepare for the matchup.

Tech had its first-team offense and defense playing each other during the bye week, Amaro said, so the team is better prepared for fast-paced game situations.

“Yeah, we went against good-

on-good most of the week, and I think that helped us a lot getting back into game situations and not just going against the scouts and playing against each other,” Amaro said. “So I think we took advantage of (the week off).”

For the senior Texas players, this is the last home game they will ever play in DKR. The Longhorns have one more game after they face the Red Raiders, but it is in Waco against the Baylor Bears.

Texas coach Mack Brown said he told his players it will be an emotional night, but to make sure and not let their feelings affect their play.

“This is the last one in the stadium,” Brown said. “They love playing at home. They love DKR. They’ll never be in that stadium for a football game as a player.

That’s a difficult thing for them to do. Our job will be to get them to focus on the game from start to finish, then afterwards they can enjoy the moment.”

Brown and his team must prepare for the possibility of facing

three different quarterbacks, as Kingsbury said he is still unsure about who will lead the Red Raiders’ offense.

Kingsbury said all three players were able to receive good practice time during the bye week, but that he would not commit to a starter until the day of the game.

“Yeah, they’re all three healthy,” Kingsbury said. “So it will be between one of those three and see how it goes. We’ll figure that out and let them try it out Thursday.”

The Red Raiders and Longhorns kick off at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in DKR Memorial Stadium in Austin. The game will be broadcast on FOX Sports 1.

For several Red Raider players, including senior defensive lineman Kerry Hyder, going to Austin to play is just like a trip home.

Hyder said he would always watch the Longhorns play Texas A&M on Thanksgiving and that it is exciting to know people will be watching him now.

“I remember growing up being with the entire family. We’d

Three early signees Kithuka earns All-American honors for Tech men’s golf Three student-athletes decided Lubbock is where they want to play golf and signed to join coach Greg Sands as a part of the Texas Tech men’s golf team.

West Artac, Devin Jackson and Guillermo Pereira all ended the recruitment process during the early NCAA signing period, according to a news release.

Each of the early signees join the program with a fair list of achievements.

Artac earned a No. 54 world ranking for boys by Golfweek, according to a news release, while becoming an All-American Honorable Selection by the American Junior Golf Association Rolex Junior.

Those honors did not come without accomplishments on the golf course.

He won the AJGA Genesis Shootout at Fair Oaks Ranch with a Live Oak Course record in the second round of 10-under par 62. The record helped Artac win the tournament with a five-stroke lead, according to the release.

Artac also defeated former Texas A&M golfer Matt Van Zandt in the 2013 club championship at the Deerwood Club in Kingwood.

At the 2013 Class 4A State Championship, Jackson recorded a two-day score of 1-under-par 139. The score tied him

for fourth at the conclusion of the state championship.

The 2013 state championship was not his first time at the state championship, though. In 2012, Jackson became the first Hallsville golfer to make it to the state tournament, according to the release.

Pereira rounds out the group of early signees who will arrive at Tech next year.

Pereira ranks 103rd in the World Amateur Golf rankings, and he is among the top 20 in the class of 2014.

Those rankings come from him achieving victory at the 2013 Abierto Las Brisas De Chicureo and placing in the South American Junior Championship (third), Toyota Junior Championship (ninth) and AJGA International Thunderbird (12th).

Pereira won the 2013 Abierto Las Brisas De Chicureo while scoring 289 through four rounds. That score includes a 69 in the third round, helping him to beat the professional field by one stroke.

The rest of fall and winter will consist of practicing for the Red Raiders before they make a push for a 13th consecutive NCAA tournament bid in the upcoming spring campaign. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com

ARLINGTON (AP) — Prince Fielder used to take batting practice as a kid at Tigers Stadium, and was known for hitting the ball over the right-field fence at a young age.

After being traded to the Texas Rangers, the slugging first baseman now will play his home games in a ballpark where right field is modeled after the old stadium in Detroit where he used to hang out when his father played there.

“I like it. ... I’m definitely going to look into that,” Fielder said, with a chuckle. “I’m just happy to be here, play hard and win some games.”

Fielder was only two seasons into the $214 million, nine-year contract he signed with Detroit before the 2012 season. The Rangers had met with Fielder during free agency then, though their offer was nowhere close to what he got from Detroit.

With his new team also comes a new jersey number. Fielder will wear No. 84 with the Rangers, not the No. 28 he had worn through his 1,322 career games with Milwaukee (2005-11) and Detroit (2012-13).

Texas settled one of the its primary offseason wants with the acquisition of Fielder, while also opening a spot at second base for talented youngster Jurickson Profar.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Little Faith Murphy scooped everyone on her daddy signing with the Indians.

After free agent outfielder David Murphy agreed to terms on a contract last week with Cleveland, his 5-yeardaughter, Faith, was at pre-school in Texas where she was learning about Thanksgiving. That’s when she broke the big news and startled some teachers.

“They were talking about Pilgrims and Indians,” Cleveland general manager Chris Antonetti said on a confer-

telling her about how she innocently announced he was Cleveland bound.

“It’s going to be a cute story someday,” Murphy said, “a funny story that we can tell her about when she’s older.”

Among the Indians’ offseason goals were to improve their depth in the outfield and increase their production against right-handed hitters. They feel they’ve addressed both needs by signing Murphy, who has a career .275 average and can play all three outfield positions.

Murphy had a down season in 2013,

batting a career-low .220 with 13 homers and 45 RBIs in 142 games. He said after the club lost slugger Josh Hamilton and others to free agency that he tried to become a different type of hitter.

“I saw that we lost Josh, that we lost Michael Young, that we lost Mike Napoli,” he said. “I put a little bit more pressure on myself to step into a bigger role and play a bigger part in the offense.

I tried to re-create my own identity instead of being the same guy I’d always been in the past.”

ence call. “And she said, ‘My daddy is going to be an Indian.’ That’s a first for us.”

Murphy, who spent the past seven seasons with the Rangers, finalized a $12 million, two-year contract Monday.

He will receive salaries of $5.5 million next year and $6 million in 2015, and the Indians have a $7 million option for 2016 with a $500,000 buyout.

His daughter didn’t provide any more details on his contract, and Murphy said he’s looking forward to one day
