Tech to face powerful USF team at Birmingham Bowl

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

The Texas Tech Red Raiders will face the University of South Florida Bulls at the Birmingham Bowl at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 23, at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama.

The Red Raiders finished their season 6-6 overall, 3-6 in Big 12 Conference play, 2-4 home, 3-2 away and 1-0 neutrally. USF finished its season 9-2 overall, 6-2 in American Athletic Conference play, 5-1 home and 4-1 away. The main game the teams can compare is how they both competed against Houston. Tech defeated Houston early in the season 27-24, but USF lost to Houston midway through the season 28-24.

“Things change throughout the season, so I never kind of compared games, each one is kind of its new venture, but we know they’re good,” Kliff Kingsbury, Tech coach, said.

“Houston’s a very good team,

we’ve watched the teams USF have beaten, the way they play the game, you can tell they’re a good football team.”

Senior quarterback Quinton Flowers leads the Bulls and has thrown for 2,600 yards and 21 touchdowns with six interceptions on the season. Flowers is also the Bulls’ leading rusher with 972 yards and 10 touchdowns. His longest pass was for 95 yards and his longest run was for 44 yards, according to USF Athletics.

Flowers’ biggest game was against the University of Central Florida at the end of the season on Friday, Nov. 24.

Against the Knights, Flowers passed for 503 yards and four touchdowns with one interception. He also rushed for 102 yards and one touchdown on 20 carries, according to USF Athletics. However, his biggest rushing game was against Tulane when he rushed for 138 yards and one touchdown.

“A real dual threat type

guy to be able to transition into the new offense like he did and still have the same type of success I thought was very impressive,” Kingsbury said. “Going into his senior year and he’s one of the best playmakers in America. So, we’ll have our hands full trying to contain him.”

Senior running backs Darius Tice and D’Ernest Johnson are the other leading rushers for the Bulls. Tice has rushed for 878 yards and 11 touchdowns and D’Ernest Johnson has rushed for 745 yards and seven touchdowns, according to USF Athletics.

On the receiving side, senior wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling leads with 746 yards and five touchdowns on 50 receptions, according to USF Athletics. Junior wide receiver Tyre McCants has 30 receptions for 598 yards and five touchdowns and sophomore wide receiver Darnell Salomon has 28 receptions for 465 yards and four touch-

downs this season. “(USF head coach) coach (Charlie) Strong, he has a great program over there,” Jah’Shawn Johnson, junior defensive back, said. “They have a physical team. This will be a good challenge for us.”

Defensively, senior linebacker Auggie Sanchez leads the team with 40 solo tackles and 76 total tackles on the season. He also leads with nine tackles for loss for 28 yards. Senior defensive tackle Bruce Hector leads the team with seven sacks for 53 yards and he also has one pass breakup, one forced fumble, one blocked kick.

Senior safety Devin Abraham has four interceptions on the season, two pass breakups and one fumble recovery. Senior linebacker Devon JonesStewart is a dangerous special teams player as he has two blocked kicks on the season.

In total, the Bulls had five blocked kicks.

“That was our biggest

to play in the Birmingham Bowl, we know we have a great opponent coming in, and just look forward to getting after them.” @JackDensmore_DT

Goin’ Band to join Red Raiders at Birmingham Bowl

By MARY BETH HOLM Staff Writer

The Goin’ Band from Raiderland, who witnessed the win against the University of Texas Longhorns, will accompany the Texas Tech Red Raiders to the Birmingham Bowl at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 23.

Connor MacAllister, a sophomore music education major from Cibolo, said he joined the Goin’ Band in 2016 as a trombone player. After the win against the Longhorns, he said it was one of the most exciting things he had been a part of.

This will be his first bowl game with the Goin’ Band.

“I’ve never been to any kind of bowl game,” MacAllister said.

“I know a good portion of the band hasn’t either. It’ll surely be an experience I won’t forget. I’m very excited. I haven’t been to

that area of the country before and I’m excited to visit it with 400 of my closest friends.”

Doug Francis, a senior management information systems major from San Antonio and Loading Crew Captain, has been a member of the Goin’ Band since his freshman year and on the Loading Crew’s leadership for three years. As a part of the loading crew, he and a select group of Goin’ Band members load and transport the larger instruments, uniform racks and even tables to away games.

Francis said many Red Raider fans and alumni help boost morale at the games.

Mady Fanning, a sophomore music education and flute performance major from El Paso, echoes Francis because of the reaction she received from Red Raider fans in Austin.

“On the way out of the

Every single Goin’ Band member I saw had a huge smile on their face at the end of the night. It

was so cool to see a community of Tech fans celebrate together in a place 300 plus miles away from home.”

Even though the Goin’ Band cheered up the Red Raiders for their upsets against Baylor

University and the University of Texas, Francis said the Goin’ Band’s energy and spirit make the football team feel like they are at home.

“We bring a home game to an away game,” Francis said.

“We’re arguably the loudest band in the Big 12 and when you have a 400-piece band, (people) tend to notice. When our guys are feeling down, we’ll hit them with the ‘Fight Song’ or ‘Fanfare.’”

The energy the Goin’ Band brings to the football games, Francis said, will be as prevalent at the Birmingham Bowl as it is in Lubbock. However, the Red Raider fans bring another element to game day.

“We can only do so much,” Francis said. “We play ‘Fanfare,’ but we need the fans to shout ‘Go, Fight, Win.’ No matter where I’ve been there was

still a contingent of Red Raider fans. I would not be surprised if there was a sizeable contingent at the Birmingham Bowl. The band is going in full force and it’s going to be the whole darn thing. We’re going to bring it and we’re hyped.”

Fanning said her favorite part of being a Red Raider is the energy the Goin’ Band and fans bring on game day.

“Feeling the energy inside The Jones is an experience like no other,” Fanning said. “I think it’s extremely important to have the band, other spirit organizations, and even the fans travel with the team because it takes the same energy and transfers it to wherever they are. Hearing 400 plus people play (our songs) really helps hype everyone up, no matter what setting they’re in.” @MaryBethHolmDT

The DT identifies Red Raiders’ 2017 MVPs DAKOTA ALLEN

DAVID GIBBS

NIC SHIMONEK

KEKE COUTEE

JUNIOR LINEBACKER HUMBLE, TEXAS

THIRD SEASON AS DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR

SENIOR QUARTERBACK MILDRED, TEXAS

JUNIOR WIDE RECEIVER LUFKIN, TEXAS

“Allen played a valuable role in the Red Raider defense which saw more success than last season.

Being in the linebacker spot, Allen was able to stop the run and pass on numerous occasions especially against Texas when he stopped the Longhorns’ run game multiple times through the game.

Without him and his talents, the defense would have a weakness in the linebacker spot.”

“For the 2017 season, I think Defensive Coordinator David Gibbs is the MVP, and easily the Most Improved “Player” as well.

In 2016, Tech fielded one of the worst defenses in college football, and while this year’s defense wasn’t elite, overall the team made huge strides defensively.

In a season that saw Tech’s offense regress as a whole, their defense improved vastly with Gibbs as the mastermind.”

“I think Shimonek is the MVP for the regular season because he has contributed tremendously to the team.

In addition, he’s thrown more than 3,500 yards and 30 touchdowns this season which is really impressive.

He ranks second nationally for his record average of 394.5 passing yards per game, one of the nation’s leaders in completions per game at 30.3. Also has 1,578 yards for 12 touchdowns.”

“Coutee reigned in 82 receptions over the course of the season and totaled 1245 yards.

No other Tech receiver broke the 1,000-yard mark. He also led the team with 9 receiving touchdowns and a fifteen-yard average.

Coutee’s leadership skills and dynamic athletic abilities were pivotal components of Tech’s offensive success this past season.

Therefore, he is the player to watch in this upcoming bowl game.”

Red Raiders complete 2017 season on high note

T

he Texas Tech Red Raiders ended their season with a comeback win against the Texas Longhorns and a trip to the Birmingham Bowl which makes the future look bright for the next season.

The major bright spot in the 2017 season for Tech was at the beginning of the season when the Red Raiders defeated Eastern Washington, Arizona State, Houston and Kansas with one loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday, Sept. 30.

During this period, Tech saw the best of senior quarterback Nic Shimonek as he threw for more than 300 yards in four of the five games mentioned, according to Tech Athletics. Against Arizona State, he threw for 543 yards and six touchdowns with zero interceptions.

Senior running back Justin Stockton also had success rushing for more than 100 yards in two of the five games.

His biggest game early in the season was against Kansas when he rushed for 161 yards and one touchdown. Junior wide receiver Keke Coutee’s biggest game was against Arizona State, when he caught 12 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown, according to Tech Athletics.

However, the success soon ended for Tech as they lost the next four straight games against West Virginia, Iowa State, Oklahoma and Kansas State. Before the game against West Virginia, Tech was ranked No. 24 in the Associated Press poll, but that quickly ended with a 46-35 loss in Morgantown, according to Tech Athletics. During this fourgame losing streak, Tech’s worst loss came against Iowa State, 31-13.

Against Iowa State, Shimonek threw for 201 yards and zero touchdowns with one interception. The only two touchdowns scored were scored via the run by junior running back Desmond Nisby and Shimonek, according to Tech Athletics.

This period of four

games was also the beginning of the kicking woes for Tech that really made an impact. Any field goal that was attempted by Tech was missed. Against West Virginia, junior place kicker Michael Barden missed three field goals, according to Tech Athletics.

Junior place kicker Matthew Cluck missed one field goal against Iowa State and junior place kicker Clayton Hatfield missed one field goal against Kansas State.

With all of the missed field goals during these weeks, Tech missed out on 15 points total with nine points missed out against West Virginia.

Tech’s losing streak came to a halt after the Red Raiders defeated Baylor 38-24 on Saturday, Nov. 11. The game was also the first time in weeks that Tech made a field goal after Hatfield kicked in a 39yard field goal, according to Tech Athletics.

However, the Red Raiders then faced their worst loss of the season on senior day against the TCU Horned Frogs, 27-3. This was the first game of the season that Tech didn’t score a single touchdown.

Shimonek only threw for 137 yards and one interception, according to Tech Athletics. The biggest player for Tech was Stockton, who rushed for 124 yards. All Tech’s receivers were also held to under 60 yards.

Senior wide receiver Dylan Cantrell had the most yards receiving with 55.

Tech was able to bounce back though against the Texas Longhorns amidst the rumors of Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury being on the hot seat. A 27-23 comeback win against Texas

likely saved Kingsbury from being fired as the win also earned Tech a trip to the Birmingham Bowl against the University of South Florida.

It was the first game that Shimonek didn’t start as sophomore quarterback McLane Carter started in his first regular season game for Tech.

Carter threw for 237 yards and two interceptions in his first game before Kingsbury sent in Shimonek in the final quarter, according to Tech Athletics.

The decision to put Shimonek back in was a smart one as Shimonek threw for 92 yards and two touchdowns to help Tech get the win, according to Tech Athletics.

It was also one of Coutee’s best games as he had nine receptions for 168 yards and one touchdown, according to Tech Athletics

After defeating Texas in Austin for the second time in a row, Tech’s future does look bright. Early on, the Red Raiders looked like a team that could challenge both TCU and Oklahoma, but quickly fell off the handle with no real explanation. Next season, the

Red Raiders will hopefully correct whatever caused the midseason struggles so that Tech can once again be in the national spotlight.

Although, there is one major question, who will be the starting quarterback? Will it be Carter, who struggled against

Texas? Will it be redshirt freshman Jett Duffey?

Or, will it be a potential recruited quarterback like Highland Park’s John Stephen Jones?

Only time will tell in these coming months. @JackDensmore_DT

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Based on their performance this season, these players could be the key factor for Texas Tech and South Florida when the two teams meet in Birmingham, Alabama for the Birmingham Bowl. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 23. Tech photos by JUSTIN REX/The Daily Toreador. USF photos courtesy of USF ATHLETICS. Excerpts by: Austin Watts

OFFENSE JUSTIN STOCKTON

Offensively, this game will require the entire unit to play effectively. The key to making that work will be senior running back Justin Stockton, who had a strong finish to his 2017 season.

Stockton is a legitimate

threat in the passing and rushing attack for Texas Tech, and it will be key to get him involved. USF’s two main middle linebackers are hesitant with their first step and have been out of position on passing plays because

QUINTON FLOWERS

they step up to play the run.

If Stockton can get them to overthink the play on his out routes and play-action runs, he could disrupt their coverage ability, allowing quarterback Nic Shimonek to utilize the middle of the field.

While not an elite quarterback, senior Quinton Flowers for USF will be their best player in this game for USF. Flowers takes care of the ball well, with only six interceptions thrown this season. In their most recent game, Flowers threw for 503

yards, with another 103 yards rushing, all while accounting for four passing and one rushing touchdown. Flowers rarely gets sacked, with his good pocket presence combined with a good offensive line giving him time to work. When the pocket collapses,

Flowers has shown a quickness and ability to find open lanes, making him a dangerous threat on the ground. When given time to work, Flowers can scan the field and find open receivers.

Stopping Flowers is the key to this game for Texas Tech.

DEFENSE DAKOTA ALLEN

While no surprise here, junior linebacker Dakota Allen will be Tech’s key to the game defensively. Allen had a phenomenal 2017 season, and he will be called on again in their game against USF. The team

had one of the best rushing attacks in the country in 2017, and Tech will need Allen to contain and limit their running backs.

Allen has two interceptions this season, along with picking up 93 total tackles. Allen also has two

TAJEE FULLWOOD

sacks, along with six tackles for losses, showing his commitment to getting into the backfield.

If Tech’s offense cannot score fast and early, USF will lean heavily on the run and Allen could be the key to stopping it.

Defensively, the USF team does not have a ton of insanely good players, instead relying on good play-calling and effort to stop its opponents. Their best player is senior defensive back Tajee Fullwood, a jack-

of-all-trades.

Fullwood is a tall cornerback at 6’2”, but he plays multiple positions in USF’s defense. Fullwood was used heavily to pressure the quarterback in the game against

UCF, and he saw time at free safety during parts of the game. If Fullwood is not contained by Tech in this game, he could put pressure on Shimonek by blitzing and in pass coverage.

SPECIAL TEAMS KEKE COUTEE

While he could also be the selection for this game offensively, I think junior wide receiver Keke Coutee will be the player to watch in this game on Special Teams. USF likes to challenge kick returners to actually return kicks, so if Coutee

can make an impact and give Tech good field position it may alter USF’s strategy. In their last game, USF allowed a game-winning kick return, so Coutee will look to make big plays in the return game for Texas Tech. Coutee’s impact

JONATHAN HERNANDEZ

will also be felt on offense, as Coutee has averaged 15.1 yards per catch, along with leading the team in receiving touchdowns with nine. Coutee has one kick return touchdown this season, while averaging 31.6 yards per return.

A strong reason why USF has such a good defense is the play of their special teams unit.

As a whole, they challenge opponents to test them in the return game, with USF usually making good stops to place opposing offenses in bad field position to

start drives. USF’s senior punter Jonathan Hernandez is a threat on special teams, as he averaged 48.8 yards per punt in their last game. If Hernandez is allowed to punt the ball inside the 20 yard line, Tech will struggle all game on 80+ yard drives. This season,

USF has allowed only 7.3 yards per punt return. Tech returner Cameron Batson will be called on to make an impact in Tech’s punt return game. Special Teams will have a major impact in this game, with strong punt returns benefitting Tech.

Cavaliers win 13 straight CLEVELAND (AP) — The play is called “Chicago,” named after a game-winning shot LeBron James made in the playoffs to beat the Bulls.

It worked like a charm again in Cleveland.

James drained a 3-pointer with 15 seconds left and finished with 32 points as the Cavaliers tied a franchise record with their 13th straight win, 101-95 over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.

James, who changed his sneakers three times, also had 11 rebounds and nine assists, helping the Cavs rally from a 14-point deficit in the third quarter to remain unbeaten since Nov. 11. His decisive 3-pointer in the final minute over JaKarr Sampson came after

James went to the bench during a timeout and told coach Tyronn Lue to run a play for him.

“Was going to run a different play and then Bron said, ‘I want Chicago.’ So I said, ‘OK,’” Lue said. “We got it to him and he made a big shot.”

After catching the inbounds pass, James took a dribble to his left and then stepped behind the line and knocked down his fifth 3-pointer.

“It felt good,” said James, who finished 12 of 18 from the floor. “I was able to get the laces where I wanted them and I got enough space, I created enough space with the step-back away from JaKarr and I was able to let it go. It felt good the whole time.”

Law school org teaches about LGBT issues

By CANDICE CLARK la

Vida editor

Lavender Law is a student organization in the Texas Tech School of Law that educates law students on lesbian, gay, bi and transgender issues in American courts today.

According to their Orgsync webpage, Lavender Law builds awareness of legal issues surrounding sexual orientation and gender identity at the School of Law. Mitchell Leonard, a second-year law student from Plano and president of Lavender Law, said the organization participates in Texas Tech’s Diversity and Pride Weeks on campus, working closely with the Office of LGBTQIA to bring speakers to campus.

“We participated heavily in this year’s Pride Week, and we were actually able to have lunch with a lot of the speakers, like Denise Brogan-Kator,” he said.

“I really think that the university needs Lavender Law for that sense of inclu-

sion, and for students to stay aware of the changing laws in order to help those who may be discriminated against due to their gender or sexual preferences.”

Lavender Law hosts many events at the law school in order to spread awareness to as many people as possible. According to their Orgsync, they host seminars by School of Law professors over new rulings in the U.S. Supreme Court and lower Texas courts, as well as hold screenings of LGBT films.

Derek Mergle-Rust, an attorney in Dallas who specializes in estate planning and LGBT law and is a former member of Lavender Law, said that when he was in school there had been an organization that promoted LGBT awareness, but had gone defunct.

“The organization was not Lavender Law previously, so it had to be reconstituted by the Student Bar Association at the law school. They gave their consent on Sept. 11,

2014,” he said. “The focus of Lavender Law is to be as inclusive as possible, for all sexual orientations and gender identities. The color lavender is considered a blurring of the rainbow, we wanted straight people and cis-gendered people to feel comfortable in the organization as well.”

Cole Leonard, a criminal defense attorney in Hobbs, NM and identical twin brother to Mitchell, was also in Lavender Law. He said the organization really took off after the landmark 2015 ruling in the Obergefell v.

Hodges case, where samesex marriage was ruled as a constitutional right.

“After the ruling, Lavender Law kind of switched over to transgender rights more so than LGBT rights, but both still need awareness,” he said. “When the group first started back up, the law school administration fully supported us, and even gave us more money for funds and events. It was really surprising, especially for a new organization in a

law school.”

Mergle-Rust said the organization did a number of events in 2015 and 2016 that educated law students on the issues still facing the LGBT community.

“You may not be a gay

person, or transgender, but you will probably have clients that are, and you need to learn how to respond effectively to that,” he said.

“We held a seminar over the Obergefell ruling and what it meant for law, we reached

out to the university, the Student Government Association and the Health Sciences Center to host events and raise awareness. We were all there together, doing it together.” @CandiceClarkDT

TECHniques Center supports learning disabilities

By PAYTON ROBB Staff Writer

For the past 18 years, the TECHniques Center has been giving students with learning disabilities the opportunity to improve academically.

“The TECHniques Center is a peer tutoring program for students who have been diagnosed with ADHD, ADD or an autistic spectrum,” Brandi Schreiber, program director, said. “At the beginning of the semester, students pay a fee that allows them a certain number of tutoring hours each week. We have trained

tutors who work one-on-one with our students.”

Students must apply to be a part of the program.

The application can be found on the center’s website, http://www.depts.ttu. edu/techniques/.

There are specific requirements each student must meet in order to be accepted.

“We only have space for 175 students, so any student who wants to be a part of our program needs to apply early,” Schreiber said. “In order to apply, students must be registered with Student Disabilities Services. This shows us that they have one

of the required diagnosis.

They then fill out an online application that is just for the center.”

If all of the student slots are filled, a student will be put on the waiting list. The center provides information for other on-campus resources to the students on the waiting list, Schreiber said.

Students who are interested in becoming a tutor may apply at the center’s website. Schreiber said they are currently in the process of hiring their spring tutors.

“The (tutor) application is online, and those who apply must submit a current ré-

sumé,” she said. “If they have taken courses from other institutions, they should also include an unofficial transcript from that institution.”

The center has 75-80 tutors who are graduate and undergraduate students.

Tutors are required to have at least 40 credit hours and a 3.0 GPA or higher.

“Overall, we want a tutor who is self-motivated, has good communication skills and will be able to come in and work hard for our students,” Kyla Shannon, assistant director, said. “We want them to be engaging and able to keep the tutoring sessions

moving. They not only help the students in academics but help them to become better college students as well.”

Shannon said they look at what classes their students are taking for the semester and pair them with a tutor who made an A or B in the class. Each tutor typically has two students for the semester.

“We hire tutors based on what (classes) our students are taking,” Shannon said.

“Once a tutor is matched with a student, they work with them the rest of the semester.

The tutor and student create their own schedule based on

what works best for them.”

According to the National Center for Learning Disabilities, only 17 percent of college students with learning disabilities take advantage of learning assistance resources at their school.

Schreiber said the TECHniques Center provides an easy way for students to improve their studies.

“Our tutors are on campus just like our students are,” she said. “We are able to give our students the support and encouragement they need to succeed.”

‘Raider Relax’ allows students to unwind for finals

By KAILIN GEORGE Staff Writer

As the Student Union Building courtyard filled with stressed students in the midst of the end of the semester demands, the Student Activities Board presented Raider Relax.

Amongst the students were three different stations of relaxation tools, such as a virtual reality

setup, an oxygen bar and chair massages and food and testing supplies.

“We aim to keep it appealing, fun, fresh and relatable to provide a space for students to de-stress,” Troy Pike, one of SAB’s coordinating advisors, said.

According to Pike, Raider Relax is geared towards students who need a break from school.

He also said it provides

the opportunity to experience new tools to help take their mind off of their work load.

“For example, the oxygen bar is new to Raider Relax,” he said. “This event is free for the students to take advantage of at the end of each semester.”

Pike said participation benefits the students not only by providing a way to psychologically refresh their mind before finals, but to replenish their testing supplies.

Nile Walker, a junior

business finance major from Harare, Zimbabwe, and also a general member of the Student Activities Board, said the stations are chosen in accordance to the advanced technology students appeal to most.

The transformation of the SUB had an influence to applying more technology in Raider Relax, as SAB operates from that building and updated from paper to TV advertisements, he said.

Kelly Statham, a fresh-

man business major from Lago Vista, attended the event along with friends who encouraged her to participate in the different stations of relaxation Raider Relax had to offer. She said Raider Relax gave her the opportunity to gain a new experience when referring to the oxygen bar.

Statham also said that with this being her first semester to experience the time management of finals, studying, socializing and relaxing, Raider Relax provided her a way to relax

without forgetting about school completely, by still being involved with other Tech students as well.

Wendi Liu, a freshmen biology major from Corpus Christi, said the oxygen bar was the biggest hit of the event as well, and said the oxygen bar was infused with an essential oil diffuser that actually had calming effects with each different scent.

“Raider Relax is created for the students’ needs specifically,” Liu said. @DailyToreador

Pearl Harbor survivors remember those killed 76 years ago HONOLULU (AP) — Survivors gathered Thursday at the site of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to remember fellow servicemen killed in the early morning raid 76 years ago, paying homage to the thousands who died with a solemn ceremony marking the surprise bombing that plunged the U.S. into World War II. About 20 survivors attended the event at a grassy looking overlooking harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial.

They were joined by about 2,000 Navy sailors, officials and members of the public.

Gilbert Meyer, who lived through the Dec. 7, 1941 bombing, said he returned to pay his respects to his shipmates from the USS Utah — and say a prayer for them.

The 94-year who lives near Lytle, Texas, was an 18-year-old fireman first class when a torpedo hit the port side of the Utah. He said he's still alive because he happened to be on the ship's starboard side.

"I think about my shipmates and how they were killed. It reminds me that we're lucky we got off and we've made a good country

for them," Meyer said.

Meyer later served in the battles at Attu, Kiska, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He witnessed Japan's surrender in 1945 from the deck of the USS Detroit in Tokyo Bay. Herbert Elfring remembered hearing bombs explode and initially thought the explosions were U.S. training exercises.

Then a fighter plane painting with Japan's World War II Rising Sun insignia strafed the Camp Makaole base where Elfring, 19 at the time, was serving. The bullets missed him by about

15 feet (5 meters).

The Jackson, Michigan man is now 95 years old.

He said returning to Pearl Harbor for the anniversary of the attack makes him feel special because he's one of the few remaining survivors.

The ceremony began with a moment of silence in honor of those who lost their lives.

The moment was timed for 7:55 a.m. — the same time the attack began. Four Hawaii Air National Guard F-22 fighter jets broke the silence, with one plane peeling off from the group to symbolize servicemen still missing.

Term limits could stop corruption C

ongress was never meant to be a life long career for citizens. According to Gallup data, congressional approval never went above 24 percent in 2016, even averaging at about 18 percent overall. However, around 97 percent of incumbents in the House of Representatives were re-elected.

The news as of late has centered on scandals that have gone unnoticed for years within congress, including corruption and sexual harassment.

Not only this, but the general failures of congress to pass any legislation that does what it says it doesreform healthcare, lower taxes, or reform immigration. While trying to change the people already within congress is a noble plan, term limits may solve many of our problems.

In 1995, the Supreme Court ruled in Term Limits vs. Thornton that no state could individually enforce term limits on congressmen anymore. So rather than fight this precedent, the best way to go forward in the wake of scandal is for a new amendment.

Term limits would force representatives to accomplish more in a shorter amount of time for their constituents. Instead of continually running on an incumbent platform centering on eventually getting done what they had initially been asked to do, congressmen would be forced to be productive.

With only a certain number of terms available, constituents have a definitive timetable to demand immediate action in.

A constant churn in congress would also help end gridlock because new people are constantly entering the debate. Professional politicians such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have been in congress for decades.

Politicians like this continually fight the same fights against the same people, and end in gridlock the majority of the time.

Career congressmen end up campaigning for another term more than they attempt to write and pass legislation. Worse than that, an expose by ‘60 minutes’ in 2016, showed the pressure for congressmen to constantly raise money for their party as well.

Another positive aspect to term limits is that the Washington D.C. bubble would be popped.

Many scandals in congress take years to come to light, even when they center on sexual harassment. Part of this lack of transparency is due to the carefully controlled culture of D.C., which keeps the same people in power and those not in power quiet. With new people entering Capitol Hill, secrets and scandals will become impossible to keep under wraps.

Lastly, I believe term limits are valuable because being in congress is not a profession, but a term of public service.

Fifteen states have term limits in place for their state legislatures. Even better, only ten states have full-time legislatures, leaving states like Texas as part-time. Due to part-time status, many state legislatures live and work around their constituents.

While a part-time lawmaker in Congress would be improbable, state legislatures highlight how dialogue and transparency greatly change when lawmakers have forced accountability and less terms of power.

If Congressmen are going to spend the majority of their time far from those they represent while raising money for the party and reelection, the least we can do is limit their time. @DailyToreador

Franken announces resignation from Senate WASHINGTON (AP) — Minnesota Sen. Al Franken announced Thursday he will resign from Congress in the coming weeks following a wave of sexual misconduct allegations and the collapse of support from his Democratic colleagues, a swift political fall for a once-rising Democratic star.

“I may be resigning my seat, but I am not giving up my voice,” Franken said in the otherwise-hushed Senate chamber.

Franken quit just a day after new allegations brought the number of women alleging misconduct by him to at least eight. On

Wednesday, one woman said he forcibly tried to kiss her in 2006, an accusation he vehemently denied. Hours later, another woman said Franken inappropriately squeezed “a

handful of flesh” on her waist while posing for a photo with her in 2009.

Students discuss religious representation at Tech

By MATTHEW SETZEKORN Staff Writer

The holidays have arrived and one issue that tends to always show up is people being upset about their religion not being fairly represented in public spaces.

At Texas Tech, there are several examples of Christmas being represented. From Christmas trees in the residence halls to the annual Carol of Lights, it’s easy for a student that isn’t Christian to feel left out.

Ashleigh Hernandez, a senior public relations major from Bakersfield, California, said that it trying to handle the holiday season is a tricky situation for public institutions.

“I think Tech and other institutions get put in a very difficult position as far as making sure everyone is represented to begin with,” Hernandez said. “However, I do think Christianity is the most represented at Tech.”

One reason this has become such a hot topic the last few years is that some people do not see why others would be so offended by the lack of other religious representa-

tion. Some believe that there is not a reason to be upset over this.

Shelby Oubre, a senior English major from Garland, said that people of other religions do have the right be upset over the lack of representation.

“I think people of different religions do have the right to be upset over not having their religion represented around campus,” Oubre said.

“If you’re going to represent Christianity, and you’re not at a private university, then you have to provide other representations also.”

A person getting offended by a lack of their religion’s representation depends on the person and their views, Hernandez said.

“I think it depends on the religions and how they view Christmas whether they should or would be upset about being skipped over as far as representation during Christmas goes,” Hernandez said.

Mariah Campos, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from Fort Worth, said she understands why people would be upset, but feels that they shouldn’t look to Tech to provide their

“I personally wouldn’t be upset if Christianity wasn’t represented on campus because I have other places where I can go to represent

my religion,” Campos said.

“Typically, when I want to represent my religion, I go to church. Tech also has clubs for almost every religion, as well.”

Oubre agrees with Campos in that she will not be offended if Tech did not represent Christianity during the holiday season.

“No, I wouldn’t be upset

if Christianity wasn’t represented at Tech,” Oubre said.

“The holidays can be celebrated without being overtly Christian based at all times.” @DailyToreador

Firefighters, first responders work on holidays

By NATHAN LAMB Staff Writer

There are 5,564 active hospitals in the United States and nearly 18,000 federal, state, city and local policing agencies, according to articles published by the American Hospital Association and the Royal Institute of International Affairs, respectively.

Around 1,134,000 firefighters currently serve our nation’s 27,198 fire departments, according to FEMA. What many overlook, however, is the sacrifice made by the officers, fire-

fighters and paramedics who work on holidays like Christmas so that other people get to enjoy them.

Sam McCloskey, a sophomore studying criminology from Philadelphia, first started volunteering for the Philadelphia Fire Department at 16-yearsold. By the time she was 18, she was certified and hired on as a full-time firefighter for the Chinatown division.

She said the overwhelming majority of first responders working those shifts volunteer for them, in place of others with fam-

ilies. Plus, she added, most departments incentivize volunteers by increasing pay for those shifts.

“I still work when I go home, like for example this most recent Thanksgiving,” McCloskey said. “I’d always volunteer to work for people with families or kids, as I don’t have any kids of my own. Plus we got paid time and a half, so many of us wanted to take advantage of that.”

She said that the shifts were significantly shorter for holidays, and — at least in her department — significantly busier. Most depart-

ments, according to McCloskey, work shifts on a 24 hours on, 48 hours off schedule. On big holidays such as Christmas, however, shifts are commonly shortened to 12 hours, which helps equalize the situation.

“It was so much busier,” McCloskey said. “Deep fried turkeys would catch fire, unwatered Christmas trees catch fire when people don’t water they dry out water short circuits them, people inappropriately using fireworks on New Year’s or the Fourth of July catch things on fire, et cetera.”

Jordan Phillip, a student at Midwestern State University from Abilene, volunteers for his hometown department as well. He said that the addition of a volunteer force helps reduce the number of paid staff required to work on holidays.

“A bunch of us don’t particularly care for holidays or don’t have families or kids,” Philip said. “So it’s hard not to sympathize with coworkers who do and want to spend time with them. For many of us, volunteering on Christmas is a way to help our coworkers and brothers

Ugly Christmas sweater season has arrived

U

gly Christmas sweater season is upon us. So, pull those bedazzled Santa Claus and Rudolph-emblazoned sweaters from the depths of your closets, because it’s that tacky time of year again.

What started as a tacky, holiday-themed party, has now turned into a celebration no one can escape. The uglier the sweater, the more heads turn. Make it look like Christmas threw up on what used to be an article of clothing worn for warmth and all of a sudden you have a fashion statement of holiday cheer.

In the past, ugly Christmas sweaters were hard to come by. Now, most major department stores carry them in a variety of tackiness to fit all styles. Ask a sales associate — the ones with a Santa cap on and light bulb earrings — for assistance and

they will surely take you to the nearest winter wonderland of knitted sweaters and cardigans galore.

The uglier the sweater, the more heads turn.

I remember scavenging through Goodwill, calling to the Christmas angels to bless me with the ugliest sweater I could find, but now they are a commodity. Long gone are the days of asking your grandparents to gather their dustcollecting sweaters in order to show off those tacky designs.

It’s as if the Christmas

sweaters our parents once forced us to wear, we gladly welcome like a neatly wrapped gift with a giant red bow. Ugly Christmas sweater designs, once a retro article of clothing only worn once a year, are now even seen on suits, t-shirts and leggings for all to wear.

The ugly Christmas sweater trend has evolved into the mainstream holiday parties we have come to know today. While the sweaters may get uglier, holiday spirit will never dull. Merry and bright are those who embrace tacky sweaters custom designed to blink, shine and sparkle.

Accompanied with a Santa-like jolliness, ugly Christmas sweaters will remain a tradition everyone can enjoy with a tall glass of eggnog.

in addition to the community at large.”

McCloskey said in her experience, first responders are especially grateful for small acts of thanks by members of their community.

“So, for example, over Thanksgiving, there was a fire that took us nearly 13 hours to deal with,” she said. “One neighbor brought pizza, another brought coffee, stuff like that. And I know that doesn’t seem like much, but when you’re there for 13 hours a simple cup of coffee is really encouraging.” @NathanLambDT

Brothers questioned in Texas border agent's death EL PASO (AP) — The FBI questioned two brothers from New Mexico in the death of a border patrol agent in Texas, according to federal court documents that have been sealed.

Jeanette Harper, a spokeswoman for the FBI's El Paso office, said Thursday that the investigation is ongoing into the death of agent Rogelio Martinez and serious injuries sustained by his partner. FBI officials said previously that they were investigating the incident as a "potential assault" but they have not ruled out that the injuries could have been caused by an accident.

The search warrant and affidavit were filed Monday in New Mexico federal court and have since been sealed. In the affidavit, the investigators asking for a warrant to search a car belonging to the brothers, referred to them as "likely perpetrators of the assault."

Scheduling final exams difficult for campus officials

By MATTHEW SETZEKORN Staff Writer

Scheduling final exams for hundreds of classes and around 40,000 students while making sure none of them overlap seems like a near impossible task. However, Texas Tech has a system in place that makes this scheduling process stress free.

According to a document provided by the Registrar’s Office, the university has an operation policy that ensures scheduling final exams run as smoothly as possible. This operation policy schedules the finals by what day and time the class is normally scheduled.

So, all people who have a Monday, Wednesday and Friday class at 2 p.m. will have a final on the same day and time, according to the Registrar’s Office.

At the end of each fall and spring term, five days are scheduled for final exams. At the end of each summer term, there are two days set aside for finals.

There is a two-and-a-half hour period of time given for students to take their final exam for each class.

The operation policy also states that days with no class are not to be used for any make-up exams, class review sessions, etc.

It is policies like the ones listed above that help Texas Tech plan out the week of final exams for its

thousands of students and faculty members.

Gwyneth Cappel, a sophomore journalism major from Dripping Springs, said she doesn’t have any major complaints about the final exam schedule, other than how long it lasts.

“I think Tech does a good job with scheduling final exams overall,” Cappel said. “I like the majority of my schedule just fine, but one of my exams is scheduled from 4:30-7 p.m. on the 13th, and it’s my only one that day, keeping me from going home for that much longer. No one would be crazy happy about that.”

One way that professors could prevent keeping their students in Lubbock until the last possible minute is by setting up their final exam online.

Miglena Sternadori, an associate professor for the College of Media & Communication, said she prefers giving her students online final exams.

“There are finals that are scheduled very late or very early in the morning,” Sternadori said. “That makes it difficult for some students, especially those with kids. So, I suppose that’s my biggest concern with finals. I think for a lot of courses it may be a good idea to consider moving to online finals.”

According to the operat-

ing policy, “Individual faculty members determine whether a final examination or some other summary submittal or performance is appropriate for the course being taught.”

I like the majority of my schedule just fine, but one of my exams is scheduled from 4:30-7 p.m. on the 13th, and it’s my only one that day, keeping me from going home for that much longer.

GWYNETH CAPPEL STUDENT This means that it is up to the professor what that course’s final will be.

Whether it be online, in person or a major project, according to the policy.

For now, many inductors have chosen to stick to in-person final exams.

Due to this, the operation policy that the university has implemented will be put to work and help move the following week along with ease.

This semester, final exams are set to begin 7:30 a.m. on Friday, December 8. @DailyToreador
