Faculty members honored for financial planning work Two Texas Tech faculty members were awarded the Heart of Financial Planning honors by the Financial Planning Association, a distinction given to four people per year. Harold Evensky, an instructor, and Deena Katz, an associate professor, were recognized for giving back to the public through financial planning, according to a news release. The award, according to the release, is given to professionals, FPA chapters and financial planning firms. Evensky and Katz, who have been married for more than 20 years, participate on committees and board with the FPA, according to the release. “The Heart of Financial Planning Award is an award given out sparingly, so I am honored to receive it,” Katz said in the release. “It certainly makes me feel very proud to be a part of the financial planning community.” ➤➤cmckee@dailytoreador.com

Tropical depression forms near eastern Mexico coast MIAMI (AP) — A tropical depression has formed off the eastern coast of Mexico and threatens to bring heavy rains and major flooding to parts of the region. The National Hurricane Center said Thursday night that the depression is about 165 miles (266 kilometers) east-northeast of Veracruz, Mexico. It has maximum sustained winds of 35 mph (56 kph) and is moving westward at 5 mph (8 kph). A tropical storm warning is in effect for eastern Mexico from Coatzacoalcos to Barra de Nautla. Forecasters said a slow and erratic motion is expected over the far-southern Gulf of Mexico over the coming days. Some strengthening is expected over the next two days, with the system likely becoming a tropical storm on Friday. The depression is expected to dump 10 to 15 inches of rain over a large part of eastern Mexico, with some mountainous areas getting as much as 25 inches. Forecasters say these rains are likely to result in life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.

Fans enjoy Thursday tailgating

FOOTBALL | Week Three

Webb Redemption

By ALI WILLINGHAM Staff Writer

First-year graduate student Benjamin Hall from Rockwall said his tailgating experience was great. The electrical engineering graduate student and president of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering said a lot of people came out and had fun. “It was honestly probably one of the best tailgates I’ve been to in my whole life, actually,” Rockwall said. Hall’s organization tailgated along with members of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Pi Tau Sigma and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers with sponsorship from Koch Industries. ASME president and senior Darin Mercado said the tailgate was a great success. The mechanical engineering major from Danbury said it was an enterprise between four different student organizations. “We served over 50 pounds of meat, various bags of chips, like 300 cookies, more than 1,000 beverages, and everybody that I talked to had a blast,” he said. Mercado said it was a give and take kind of thing in regard to comparing the Thursday versus Saturday tailgate experience. TAILGATING continued on Page 5 ➤➤

Tech defeats Horned Frogs in Lonestar Pride showdown By MICHAEL DUPONT II SportS editor

After setting a student attendance record last week in Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury’s first home game, 16,092 students piled into Jones AT&T Stadium — setting a new attendance record, to see Kingbury’s Red Raiders win their Big 12 home-opener 20-10 against the Horned Frogs. Tech wasted little time moving the ball down the field. Freshman quarterback Baker Mayfield completed a short pass to junior running back Kenny Williams and after breaking several tackles, Williams found green grass and finished the

50-yard touchdown nearly untouched 30 yards in. Tech’s defense maintained the intensity the offense set early on, forcing the Horned Frogs to punt on each of their opening possessions. After opening the game with a touchdown, Mayfield threw his first career interception as the Red Raiders were driving deep in Texas Christian territory. Following Mayfield’s interception, junior kicker Ryan Bustin netted a 39-yard field goal giving the Red Raiders a 10-0 lead early in the game.

Red and black tents, the smell of barbecue and the sound of Texas country set the tone for Thursday night’s game-day atmosphere. Texas country musician, Brandon Rhyder, performed in Raider Alley before Texas Tech’s game against Texas Christian University. Brandon Valderaz, a senior public relations major from Lubbock, said he believes the event animated the atmosphere. “Anytime you have live music it kind of livens the attitude,” he said. “I think whenever you have live music it gets people around, it gets people together. I think it’s good atmosphere.” CONCERTS continued on Page 6 ➤➤ ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

When the clock hit zero, Texas Tech had come out on top of Texas Christian by a score of 20-10. But the time leading up to the Red Raider victory was described by Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury as the most bizarre game he’s ever been part of. To start off with, the Red Raiders came out in brand new all-gray Under Armour uniforms with red and black highlights, including the helmets. Tech junior wide receiver Bradley Marquez said he was excited to wear the new uniforms and the undershirts, which were also gray and had a red Superman logo on the chest. “This (shirt) is Under Armour alter ego Superman,” Marquez said. “So it was nice that we got these. Everybody got them. Under Armour hooked us up pretty nice this time. It was nice to able to rock them.” The first quarter went off without a hitch, especially compared to the later quarters in the game. Tech scored a touchdown on its first drive with a 50-yard pass to junior running back Kenny Williams, and kicked a field goal later in the quarter. Junior tight end Jace Amaro said he thought the offense played well in the first quarter, but with penalties and plays where the offense moved backward instead of forward, they just were not able to put the ball in the end zone.

Housing offers residence hall safety tips for students By CHELSEA GRUNDEN Staff Writer

As the new school year moves into full swing and students get used to living in residence halls, the Texas Tech faculty and staff is set on keeping the university a safe campus. “Texas Tech is a microcosm of society itself, so everything that happens out there happens in here in some form or fashion,” said D’aun

to it in the safest way possible. “You need to be aware of what is going on around you,” Green said. “We all have that spidey sense kind of thing that tells us something isn’t quite right. You have to listen to that. Do what you can to make sure you’re walking with somebody else late at night and those kinds of things.”
