No injuries reported as a result, only minor damage sustained

By STEVIE DOUGLAS

STAFF WRITER

An organic synthesis experiment produced a small explosion in the Chemistry building Friday evening, resulting in some property damage but no injuries.

“The lab was unattended at the time of the explosion,” said Taylor Eighmy, vice president of research, in an official university statement. “There were some damages to the chemical fume

A few cows got loose by the Texas Tech Meat Lab and wandered off campus onto the streets of Lubbock on Friday morning.

Kenny Evans, assistant chief of police for the Tech Police Department, said there were about 10 officers trying to secure traffic and get the cows off of the roadway.

“I was told they were offloading the cows on campus, and a few of them got loose before they could get them in the building,” Evans said. “There were a couple of vehicles with minimal damages, and one of the cows broke the front glass window on a building on Avenue Q.” Evans said he was not sure of the name of the building with the broken front window.

“No one was injured,” Evans said, “but the cow that went through the window had a couple of cuts.”

The officers spent the morning trying to corral the cows so they could be taken back, he said. The cows were loaded back onto the trailer and returned safely to campus.

Carder Mccoy, a sophomore business major from Richardson, said he

The explosion occurred at approximately 5:30 p.m. The Lubbock Fire Department responded and its Haz-Mat Team cleaned up small quantities of dilute waste acids.

“The building was evacuated according to protocol,” Eighmy said. “We hope to have a better understanding about the nature of the explosion sometime early next week, when our Office of Environmental Health and

was chased by one of the cows Friday morning.

“I was just walking across 19th Street coming back from class, and my friend Chase asked me if I had seen the cow in the road,” Mccoy said. “I looked and saw her trucking down 19th Street.”

Mccoy said as he went toward the cow to take a picture, it lowered its head and came at him.

“I barely dodged her, and she just kept on going down the road,” Mccoy said.

“It was freaking funny. I thought she was gonna kick my ass!”

Chase Haddock, a sophomore restaurant, hotel and institutional management major from Charlotte, N.C., was with Mccoy when the cow chased him.

“I was just walking to my truck with Carder (Mccoy) and we both heard footsteps,” Haddock said. “We turned around, and there she was. I started laughing until the thing tried to buck us.”

Haddock said he saw the cow buck right at Mccoy.

“I remember thinking, ‘Only in Lubbock,’” Haddock said.

The Chemistry building was reopened to students and faculty approximately two hours later, according to the university statement, but the specific lab where the incident occurred will remain sealed off, pending further investigation.

Less than a quart of dilute nitric acid was sprayed across the lab room floor after the explosion, Eighmy said.

According to an article released by North Star Chemical Company, if nitric acid was to come in contact with common

Experiment leads to explosion in Chemistry building as the “heat of dilution” and is often masked by adding the acid solution to water.

Eighmy specifically said this incident is not related to an explosion that severely injured a graduate student in January 2010.

That specific incident involved a high-energy metal compound opposed to dilute nitric acid, according to the United States Chemical Safety Board.

The university statement said Tech’s Office of Environmental Health and Safety will be conducting an investigation of the accident, but also said the lab in question recently passed a safety inspection and that all researchers were fully trained according to Tech’s lab safety protocol.

Classes in the Chemistry building will resume as scheduled.

Upward Bound FOOTBALL | Week Seven Special teams, Tech errors helps students mold career paths send K-State to 41-34 win

By ANGELICA TOVAR

STAFF WRITER

The Texas Tech Upward Bound program hosted its annual Parent/Student Orientation on Saturday at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center.

The projection of 250 students at the event made by Sylvia Gonzales, the associate director of Tech’s Upward Bound program, was nearly reached Saturday morning. Each student arrived side-by-side with his or her parents and younger siblings.

Gonzales broke down the divisions of the program into its two unit programs: Select and Quest.

Quest concerns the “math and sciences-heavy studies,” and Select deals more with “core classes,” Gonzales said. She also described the program as “being a key tool in college readiness preparation.”

Vuic speaks in first Vietnam Guest Lecture Series STAFF WRITER

PHOTO BY BRAD TOLLEFSON/The Daily Toreador

KARA VUIC, AUTHOR of "Officer, Nurse, Woman: The Army Nurse Corps in the Vietnam War," talks about the experiences of Army nurses in the Vietnam War as a part of the Vietnam Center and Archives' 2011 Guest Lecture Series on Thursday in the Lanier Auditorium of the School of Law.

On Thursday, The Texas Tech Vietnam Center and Archive hosted the Vietnam Guest Lecture Series for the first time.

Kara Dixon Vuic, a history professor at Bridgewater College in Virginia, was the first of five guest speakers for the lecture series, which was made possible by the Helen Jones Foundation.

The Vietnam Center and Archive applied for the foundation’s grant earlier this year and was awarded an undisclosed amount.

“Well, earlier in 2011, we received the grant, and it has helped set up this year’s lectures and 2012’s, too,” said Melanie Hess, assistant in the Tech Vietnam Center and Archive. “We are excited to bring these speakers to the Lubbock community, and we are particularly excited for Vuic to come. She has knowledge about a topic that is not often talked about: women nurses in the military.”

The event was free and the community’s Vietnam veterans were encouraged to attend.

“All of the lectures will be free “We are very pleased that Dr. and open to the public. I think it’s Vuic has chosen our center to great because we have veterans of keep her collection (of research),” the Vietnam War in Lubbock, and said Stephen Maxner, director of recent veterans of the current war, the Tech Vietnam Center and too,” Hess Archive.

IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon dead at 33 LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dan Wheldon, who moved to the United States from his native England with hopes of winning the Indianapolis 500 and went on to twice prevail at his sport’s most famed race, died Sunday after a massive, fiery wreck at the Las Vegas Indy 300.

He was 33.

Wheldon, who won the Indy 500 for the second time this May, won 16 times in his IndyCar career and was the series champion in 2005. He was airlifted from the Las Vegas track at 1:19 p.m. local time Sunday and taken to a nearby hospital, becoming the first IndyCar driver to die after an on-track crash since rookie Paul Dana was killed in practice on the morning of race day at HomesteadMiami Speedway in 2006.

As word began to spread that his injuries were fatal, those at the

track could not control their tears.

Television cameras captured Ashley Judd, the wife of IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti, dabbing at her eyes shortly before the official word came.

The remainder of the race was canceled. Drivers solemnly returned to the track for a five-lap tribute to Wheldon, almost all of them hiding their eyes behind dark sunglasses after being told their colleague was gone.

As Roger Penske met with his team trackside and other drivers simply hugged those around them, IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard made the announcement of Wheldon’s death.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family today,” Bernard said.

When drivers returned to the track, Wheldon’s No. 77 was the only one on the towering scoreboard.

Franchitti sobbed uncontrollably as he got back into his car for the tribute

laps. Over speakers at the track, the song “Danny Boy” blared, followed by “Amazing Grace” as hundreds of crew workers from each team stood solemnly.

“What can you say? We’re going to miss him,” said Chip Ganassi, Wheldon’s former car owner. “Everybody in IndyCar died a little today.”

The race was only minutes old when Wheldon, who started at the back of the 34-car field and was in position for a $5 million payday if he could have won the race, was one of 15 cars involved in a wreck that started when two cars touched tires.

Several cars burst into flames, and debris was all over the track, some of the impact so intense that workers needed to patch holes in the asphalt.

Video replays showed Wheldon’s car turning over as it airborne and sailed into what’s called the “catch

fence,” which sits over the SAFER barrier that’s designed to give a bit when cars make contact. Rescue workers were at Wheldon’s car quickly, some furiously waving for more help to get to the scene.

Bernard said Wheldon’s injuries were “unsurvivable.”

Wheldon’s first Indianapolis 500 victory was in 2005 — he passed Danica Patrick with less than 10 laps to go that year — and his win at the sport’s most famed race this year was one to particularly savor.

It came in perhaps the oddest of fashions, as he was the beneficiary of a huge gaffe by someone else.

Wheldon was in second place, far back of rookie J.R. Hildebrand approaching the final turn — when Hildebrand lost control and clipped the wall. Wheldon zipped past, and the only lap he led all day at Indianapolis was the last one. He returned to the track the next morning for the traditional photo session with the winner, kissing the bricks as his 2-year-old son Sebastian sat on the asphalt alongside him, and wife, Susie, held their then-2-month-old, Oliver.

Though Upward Bound has been a successful program for 44 years at Tech, Gonzales said it recently received about a three percent budget cut in funding, making it more difficult to find funds for not only the program’s activities, but for the students’ educations as well.

“Universities can basically charge whatever they think is necessary, or whatever they want now,” Gonzales said.

Gonzales made clear the program’s intentions to assist as many students seeking help getting into college as possible.

“I have an emotional attachment with the program, and it will always hold a special place in my heart,” said Isaac Flores, who has worked for Upward Bound for three years and is its unit coordinator.

Flores said while he was in school, the program was not offered in his area, but he had people who encouraged him in his life.

“A group of teachers, counselors and coaches were my own version of UB and helped me succeed,” Flores said.

Flores also said working for the program is not an arduous task for him, but rather something he enjoys doing.

“Working for UB is not a job for me.

It’s just something I love to do, and I wish we could serve more,” Flores said.

“The reason I have been working for UB is simple: I’m just giving back. I am part

More than 60 Lubbock community members attended the event in Lanier Auditorium at the Texas Tech Law School.

Undergraduate students also attended the event and shared their experiences.

“I think this topic is interesting. I don’t know much about women nurses during the war, and it’s just something new to think about,” Amal Soomro, a sophomore psychology major from Houston, said.

Vuic also shared her feelings about picking Tech’s Vietnam Center to keep her work.

“I was looking for a new home for my research, and I’m pleased to know that The Vietnam Center and Archive hold my work,” Vuic said.

Vuic opened the series of lectures for this year. On November 10, the second speaker, Dace Carey, a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War, will be speaking on his experiences. ➤➤glerma@dailytoreador.com

of the product of the system as I call it, as are all of these kids. From first-generation college hopefuls to single-parent families who are struggling financially, I can relate to them.”

He said the program receives thousands of applications every year, but only a select hundred are chosen.

Natasha Gonzalez, a junior at Lubbock’s Cooper High School, has been in the program for three years.

“I love it,” Natasha Gonzalez said. “I get to meet new people all the time, and I enjoy everything about it.

It helps a lot. It gives me a push to want to go to college.”

Unlike Natasha Gonzalez, Marissa Sanchez, a sophomore from Lorenzo High School, is a first year student of the program in the Select branch.

“I’m excited for the opportunity to meet new people and experience a lot of things I wouldn’t get to if I wasn’t a part of UB,” Sanchez said. “I have heard so many stories about college: what you’re getting yourself into, what to expect and what goes on. But I think UB will help me better prepare for the reality of college and what to actually expect from it.”

Flores said the program is helpful to everyone involved.

“The orientation is not just a learning experience for the students, but for the parents as well,” Flores said. “I’m constantly advocating, when I go to school or meetings, how great UB is. I recommend it to other parents.” ➤➤atover@dailytoreador.com

Occupy Wall Street shows muscle, raises $300K NEW YORK (AP) — The Occupy Wall Street movement has close to $300,000, as well as storage space loaded with donated supplies in lower Manhattan. It stared down city officials to hang on to its makeshift headquarters, showed its muscle Saturday with a big Times Square demonstration and found legions of activists demonstrating in solidarity across the country and around the world.

Could this be the peak for loosely organized protesters, united less by a common cause than by revulsion to what they consider unbridled corporate greed? Or are they just getting started?

There are signs of confidence, but also signs of tension among the demonstrators at Zuccotti Park, the epicenter of the movement that began a month ago Monday. They have trouble agreeing on things like whether someone can bring in a sleeping bag, and show little sign of uniting on any policy issues. Some protesters

Tell her something words cannot.

eventually want the movement to rally around a goal, while others insist that isn’t the point.

“We’re moving fast, without a hierarchical structure and lots of gears turning,” said Justin Strekal, a college student and political organizer who traveled from Cleveland to New York to help. “... Egos are clashing, but this is participatory democracy in a little park.”

Even if the protesters were barred from camping in Zuccotti Park, as the property owner and the city briefly threatened to do last week, the movement would continue, Strekal said.

He said activists were working with legal experts to identify alternate sites where the risk of getting kicked out would be relatively low.

Wall Street protesters are intent on hanging on to the momentum they gained from Saturday’s worldwide demonstrations, which drew hundreds of thousands of people, mostly in the U.S. and Europe. They’re fill-

ing a cavernous space a block from Wall Street with donated goods to help sustain their nearly month-long occupation of a private park nearby.

They’ve amassed mounds of blankets, pillows, sleeping bags, cans of food, medical and hygienic supplies — even oddities like a box of knitting wool and 20 pairs of swimming goggles (to shield protesters from pepper-spray attacks). Supporters are shipping about 300 boxes a day, Strekal said.

The space was donated by the United Federation of Teachers, which has offices in the building.

Close to $300,000 in cash also has been donated, through the movement’s website and by people who give money in person at the park, said Bill Dobbs, a press liaison for the movement. The movement has an account at Amalgamated Bank, which bills itself as “the only 100 percent union-owned bank in the United States.”

Strekal said the donated goods are being stored “for a long-term occupation.”

“We are unstoppable! Another world is possible!” Kara Segal and other volunteers chanted in the building lobby as they arrived to help unpack and sort items, preparing them to be rolled out to the park.

While on the streets, moments of madness occasionally erupt in the protest crowd — accompanied by whiffs of marijuana, grungy clothing and disarray — order prevails at the storage site.

It doubles as a sort of Occupy Wall Street central command post, with strategic meetings that are separate from the “general assembly” free-foralls in the park. One subject Sunday was data entry: protesters are working to get the names and addresses of donors into a databank.

Taylor Swift’s Speak Now Tour makes stop in Lubbock

By KASSIDY KETRON LA VIDA EDITOR

United Spirit Arena was invaded Friday by semi-trucks, tour buses, dresses and cowboy boots thanks to Taylor Swift’s world tour, Speak Now. Although there wasn’t a shortage of fans at the concert, there had been a shortage of tickets soon after they went on sale.

The first allotment of SelectA-Seat tickets to the Lubbock concert sold out in just 18 minutes.

But, for some fans, buying a ticket wasn’t a problem.

Jennie Lirette, a Dallas native and student at Blinn College, said she and a friend, Tech student Jaclyn Fleury, won tickets to the Taylor Swift concert through a Lubbock radio show.

Both said they were excited when they found out they had won.

“Well, she cried,” Lirette said. “I was just screaming. We were so excited because we entered in, like, a couple of contests just because we were like, ‘We just have to win tickets because they’re so expensive to go see her,’ so we knew Lubbock was a small area, so we knew we could win through a radio station. It was awesome.”

During Swift’s performance, the artist walked from the stage to the back of the arena, where a tree prop was hung from the rafters of the arena for Swift to sit on and perform from, and then she walked back again to the front of the stage.

That, Lirette said, was her favorite part of the performance.

“She left the stage and walked to the back of the arena and sat on this, like, tree where everyone in the back could, like, see her more and she sang, like, four different songs,” she said. “She got to, like, say hi to all of her fans on the way. She walked all the way through the crowd. It was cool.”

While more than half of those in attendance were women, some of whom dragged along boyfriends or male family members and friends to the concert, there were plenty of others seen singing along with songs who were just as excited to be there as their female counterparts.

Nick Flores, a Levelland native, gave his girlfriend, Monique Rubio, tickets to the concert for her birthday.

“Actually, I’m the one that had the tickets,” he said. “I know how much she loves Taylor Swift, so I bought them.”

Rubio said there wasn’t anything about the concert she didn’t like.

“I love Taylor Swift with everything I have,” she said.

“I liked everything. It was just amazing.”

Like Lirette, Kinsey Norris lucked into getting her ticket to the concert.

“Well, fortunately, my friend had an extra ticket,” the Abernathy native said. “I wasn’t coming to begin with, and she had an extra ticket, so I got to come and I’m glad that I did.”

Norris said she was most impressed by Swift’s use of “theatrics.”

“I thought it was amazing,” she said. “There were a lot more theatrics and all the dancers

and everything. It was just more awesome than I ever expected it to be.”

Swift changed outfits every three or four of her 18 songs,

switched instruments ranging from the ukulele to the piano, surprised her audience with fireworks and showered them in confetti.

“It was the best show ever,” Lirette said. “It was like a magic show really. She just popped out of nowhere, and it was crazy. I’ve seen a lot of people I feel like,

and you can just tell every time that she really enjoys doing what she does and that she doesn’t just do it to do it.” ➤➤kketron@dailytoreador.com

He got really sick again, and they had to rush him to the emergency room.”

WMC-TV in Memphis reported that Ross suffered a second medical seizure and had been hospitalized.

The news station said the University of Alabama-Birmingham Hospital would not comment on his condition.

A hospital spokeswoman told The Associated Press that no one by Ross’s name or his real name, William Leonard Roberts II, was listed as a patient.

An emergency room representative, citing federal privacy laws, said she could not confirm the identity of anyone being treated there.

Birmingham airport spokeswoman Toni Bast confirmed to The Associated Press that a private plane traveling from Fort Lauderdale to Memphis made an unscheduled landing in Birmingham at around 5:30 p.m. because of a medical emergency, but she could not provide any further details.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (AP) — Rapper Rick Ross was reportedly hospitalized in Alabama after suffering two medical scares in six hours that required planes to be diverted.

The first scare came Friday afternoon as Ross was on a Delta Air Lines flight from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to Memphis, Tenn., where Ross was scheduled to appear at a University of Memphis basketball event that night. The plane returned to Florida after Ross suffered an unspecified medical problem. He was treated at a Fort Lauderdale hospital, and he even tweeted afterward: “Memphis here I come.”

But after Ross hopped a Memphisbound private jet, it made an unscheduled landing in Birmingham, Ala., because the 34-year-old singer experienced another medical problem, Memphis basketball coach Josh Pastner told a crowd at the Friday night event where Ross was to appear.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. (AP) — Heroes and villains from the worlds of horror, fantasy and sci-fi shared the stage at Spike TVs annual Scream Awards.

More television event than traditional awards ceremony, the Scream Awards were presented in an amphitheater built on the Universal Studios backlot just for the occasion.

The Saturday night show was as much about how the awards were presented as who got them, but for starters, the top honorees were Harry Potter, Darth Vader, Nicolas Cage, Pee Wee Herman and Robert Downey, Jr. Resembling a psychedelic circus, one side of the stage was a life-sized dollhouse populated by costumed characters, the other a staircase topped by a giant keyhole, and in the middle was a lake that lit up with fire.

Fans picked the night’s winners and also filled the makeshift theater for the 2 ½ -hour presentation, which is set to air Tuesday as a two-hour special on Spike TV and VH1.

Confederate license plates inappropriate Tony Cardone do, however, share an important characteristic. They are both stains on the history of humanity.

The atrocities committed by the Nazi regime in the 1930s and 1940s were unquestionably terrible. Only a few deny this, and those people are at the extreme.

The Civil War heritage defenders, however, are slowly gaining mainstream traction in the United States.

To the best of my knowledge, the modern-day Sons of Confederate Veterans aren’t racist. Those family members who fought in the Civil War may not have been either.

The same can be said of German Army members. Most of them probably didn’t dislike the

Jewish people, but when a soldier fights for a cause that is so clearly evil, he or she must shoulder some of the blame. They are not to be celebrated. Rather, they are to be used as warnings to future generations about what happens without the benefit of an educated and free people.

I have no problem with a private organization like the Sons of Confederate Veterans existing to promote their “Jefferson Davis Was Right” campaign just as I have no problem with the Westboro Baptist Church promoting their “Gay People Collapsed The World Economy” campaign. They’re both wrong.

“

Historians point to a number of reasons as the causes of the Civil War, ranging from economic dominance by the North to the inevitable repeal of slavery in the South.

Heck, there’s even a conspiratorial angle on Abraham Lincoln — who wasn’t even particularly against slavery — as trying to destroy the South in favor of the North.

Unfortunately, modern political correctness explains it as a battle between states over the power of the federal government.

Texas public school students today are being taught the Civil War was fought more over states’ rights than slavery in the South.

I think it’s ... incredibly distasteful to glorify the rebellion in books or on license plates ...

“

E

arlier this week, a group of Germans called the Söhne des Reiches proposed a bill that would create state license plates with Nazi symbols.

Supporters say the move will allow the family members to begin to take back the Nazi name from unfair criticism during the Second World War. This is outrageous, right? Actually, it’s not true. However, something almost identical is unfolding in the state of Texas.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans want the state of Texas to begin offering license plates bearing the flag of the Confederacy to the general public.

Now, I really don’t want to get emails this week complaining about how I compared the greatgreat uncle twice removed on your mom’s side who volunteered in an 1862 militia in Boerne to those involved in the Holocaust, because I’m not. The two events were two incredibly different situations in two different times. They

This is dangerous rhetoric and a much-too-apologetic point of view.

But, I’ll agree with the sentiment that the Civil War was fought over states’ rights, or more specifically, over the rights of 11 southern states to treat black people as free labor rather than as humans.

Those who fought in the Confederate Army may not have been slaveholders. They may not have been racists. They did, however, fight for an incredibly evil cause.

I think it’s not only incredibly distasteful to glorify the rebellion in books or on license plates, but it’s also plainly insulting to the hundreds of thousands of enslaved people who suffered the inhumane conditions the South fought to keep.

It would be silly to suggest the Texas Department of Public Safety agrees with the cause of the Confederate heritage defense, even if they do allow the custom plates. Allowing a Confederate

license plate would place the cause alongside the Girl Scouts and the Special Olympics, which also have custom license plates.

It certainly doesn’t belong there.

“Thank goodness for Mississippi” isn’t just a slogan to make Texans feel better about our pitiful education system. Texas is a place welcoming all races and faiths.

I can’t say I feel the same about Mississippi, which allowed a state license plate with the Confederate battle flag on it, or about South Carolina, which displays the flag on its Capitol grounds.

A license plate doesn’t make a state racist, but when a stateissued license plate has the Confederate flag next to the word “Texas,” it doesn’t help our image of being a place with liberty and equal rights for all.  Cardone is a junior computer science major from San Antonio. ➤➤ tcardone@dailytoreador.com

With proper planning, students can avoid financial stress college it’s a different story.

When it comes to college, the student diets often consist highly in sugar. The “freshman 15” theory is grounded on the premise that stress adds a load to a new college student’s life within the first few months of their freshman semesters, when midterms and finals become their ultimate focus.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Bicyclists are an increasingly common sight on the Texas Tech campus, and that’s not surprising when one considers the size of the place. Unfortunately, many cyclists are unaware of or are indifferent to the unwritten rules of courtesy and even the written law.

If you’re going to ride a bike around campus, here’s what you need to know.

First, you may not ride your bike on the sidewalk. This is not some rule the university has, it’s a county ordinance, and violating it can get you an $80 fine. Stay on the streets in the bike lanes wherever possible. If you must go off the street, walk your bike so you don’t run into any pedestrians.

The only exceptions here are “shared paths,” which are marked by a line running along their lengths.

Second, the law treats bicycles the way it does other vehicles. This means you can’t run stop signs, run red lights or ride on the wrong side of the road.

It’s also a good idea to use hand-based turn signals. Usually, these are done with the left arm. To show you want to turn right, hold your left arm up with your elbow bent at a right angle.

If you’re turning left, hold it straight out to the side.

And third, no one likes it when they’re walking along a shared path and a bicycle whizzes by, missing them by only a few inches. If this practice continues, it’s only a matter of time before collisions happen. So, when you’re pedaling up behind a pedestrian or another cyclist and mean to pass, call out to them and let them know where you’re passing. For example, if you mean to pass them on their left say, “On your left.” They may not hear you over their MP3 player, but those who do hear you will appreciate the warning. This is called “trail courtesy.”

As bicycles become more common on campus, it is increasingly important cyclists understand and practice behaviors allowing them to safely coexist with pedestrians.

year, but, thankfully, I was prudent enough to pay my rent with my school refund six months in advance.

Whenever I look back now and think of how I was able to go from one lifestyle to my current lifestyle, I realize that, without hesitation, it was because I decided to jump into survival mode — a decision everyone faces at least once in his or her life.

I had to take everything I was given — even though it was very limited — and work out a survival plan. I had meals set for the week and gas for transportation was planned. I had everything so planned out even if I were to make the slightest mistake in budgeting, I would still be able to get by.

So, whenever you feel you’re not going to make it to the end of

the week, just remember you will.

At first, it’s a little hard to stop yourself and really focus on what needs to be done, as opposed to what you want to do. Eliminating a happy hour or two and locking yourself inside your apartment or residence hall room for the next two weeks can seem like a bit of a stretch, but you have to remember why you’re here in the first place.

I believe that with this mindset, you’ll be able to overcome the minimal stresses college life brings. Remember that when college is over, you’ll have a whole new set of stresses to focus on.  Martinez is a senior American sign language major from Austin. ➤➤ mmartinez@dailytoreador.com

US health care system more beneficial than others

THE DAILY CAMPUS (U. CONNECTICUT)

With Apple recently surpassing Exxon for the world’s most valuable company, and Bloomberg reporting this week that Apple has just surpassed Coca-Cola as the world’s most valuable brand, it should come as no surprise that Steve Job’s death impacted so many in the U.S. and around the world. While his death was untimely, at age 56, what often goes unmentioned is how long his life was extended thanks to a medical system that doesn’t exist in any other country.

In 2004 Steve Jobs was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer affecting the islet cells. This affects only 1.3 percent of pancreatic cancer patients. In 2009 he received a liver transplant because the disease had spread, which happens in about 10 percent of islet cell cases. He died last Wednesday from the condition.

The time added to his life by his medical treatment dramatically influ-

enced the world in which we live. From the time he received a transplant alone, Apple stock grew about 350 percent.

He was so influential in the company that Apple released a memo upon his passing stating that Jobs had outlined four years of ideas prior to his death.

However, his chances of surviving cancer for five years prior to his transplant would not be so high anywhere else in the world. Likewise, nowhere else in the world would a pancreatic cancer victim receive a liver transplant.

President Obama’s appointee to run Medicare and Medicaid, Dr. Donald Berwick, has praised the British National Healthcare System (NHS), saying in 2008, “I fell in love with the NHS.”Former Senator, Tom Daschle wrote a book, regarded as the blueprint for Obama’s healthcare reforms, praising NHS and recommended we follow a similar approach in the United States.

But it is this same system that sets a limit on care at £20,000 (about $31,000) per quality-adjusted life year of health care. Job’s treatment would

likely not be covered, as would his transplant. Even worse, in Britain, liver transplants are a monopoly of the NHS – so if you can’t get one through the NHS, you are given a death sentence.

Some may argue that this is alright, as the goal of medicine should be to combat inequality. After all, Jobs was wealthy, so of course he received adequate treatment in America, whereas others wouldn’t be as well off. This is true to an extent as inequality does exist, but to act as if a single-payer system like the NHS is a cure for inequality is to deny reality.

Putting medical funding in the hands of bureaucracies institutionalizes both implicit and explicit inequalities. The best performing hospitals in Britain are the ones in wealthy areas, whereas the worst hospitals are the ones in poor areas. Even the British newspaper, the UK Guardian, which staunchly supports NHS, concedes that in Britain, “the poorer you are and the more socially deprived your area, the worse your care and access is likely to be.” In fact, one study shows that if the Copyright © 2011 Texas Tech University Student Media/The Daily Toreador.

mortality rate of cancer-related illness in Britain’s lowest socioeconomic groups were equal to that of the most affluent, there would be 16,600 fewer deaths from cancer each year – this is with a National single-payer system.

But, while there is still inequality after instituting the NHS in Britain, the access to health resources is less and outcomes are worse. Breast cancer and colon cancer mortality ratios in Britain are double what they are here. Prostate cancer is triple. CT scanners and MRI units per capita are more than double what they are in Britain.

When medical expenditures are placed in the hands of politicians, they are allocated on a very political basis.

The incentives are such that they give small benefits to many people (those who are not ill) while detracting great benefits from those who are sick. If you believe, as I do, that the measure of quality in a healthcare system is what can be done for the ill, like Steve Jobs or the thousands of others, a singlepayer healthcare system is not the answer but is a catastrophic problem.

Tech celebrates Homecoming with parade

By DESTINY BEZRUTCZYK STAFF WRITER

Students and Lubbockites of all ages turned out for Texas Tech’s 2011 Homecoming Parade on Saturday.

The floats gathered in a parking lot near the First Baptist Church on Broadway Street before heading west onto Tech’s campus at 10 a.m.

The theme for this year’s parade was “iTech: Who’s on Your Playlist?” for the organizations, sororities and fraternities that chose to participate.

“It’s a fun environment,” said Georgeanne McClain, a sophomore pre-nursing major from Nacogdoches and an aid to The Masked Rider.

The parade began with the Goin’ Band from Raiderland, cheerleaders and Pom Squad members atop a fire truck.

Following them were themed floats made by partnered sororities and fraternities, including student organizations like the Hispanic Student Society, Tech Student

Democrats, the Saddle Tramps and the American Red Cross Club.

Another one of The Masked Rider’s aids, Lisa Grant, a junior agriculture education major from Lubbock, said there was plenty of Tech spirit to be seen.

Following this year’s theme, clubs modeled their floats after a singer or band of their choosing.

The Black Eyed Peas, The Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses, Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, Elvis, KISS, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Buffet, Taylor Swift and The Beatles were some of the represented singers and bands.

Members of Epsilon Nu and Delta Delta Delta arrived at about 4 a.m. Saturday according to Adam Lowe, a freshman engineering major from Austin. The groups chose the band KISS and began building the float a week before the parade.

“We started about a week and a half ago,” Lowe said. “It took hard work and dedication.”

“We love KISS,” said Jake Wassmutch, a freshman psychology major from Austin, on how they chose

their theme. “We love sticking our tongues out and painting our faces.”

Most of the floats used chicken wire and tissue paper to recreate an album cover or stage for the band.

Kappa Kappa Gamma and Delta Tau Delta members constructed a moving yellow submarine and underwater scene for their Beatlesthemed float.

Jennifer Gurney, a junior early childhood education major from Houston and a committee member for her organization’s float, said the fraternity started work a week beforehand and the sorority began pomping the float with tissue paper Tuesday.

She said the initial cost of tissue paper for the float was $450.

“We just pomped our little hearts out,” Gurney said.

“We’ve been working nonstop for the past week on this bad boy,” said Caroline Hightower, a freshman psychology major from Dallas, “and boy does it look great.”

Atop some of the floats, club members dressed in costumes varying from Lady Gaga to Steven Tyler.

Pi Beta Phi and Fiji’s Guns N’ Roses float was made of giant rotating revolvers and tissue-paper roses.

The best of the floats will be picked as winners, but Hightower wasn’t sweating her groups’ chances.

“I’m feeling pretty confident,” Hightower said. ➤➤dbezrutczyk@dailytoreador.com

Lawyer for Jackson doctor says key tactic dropped LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dr. Conrad Murray’s attorney says he knew months before the physician’s trial that a theory that Michael Jackson drank a fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol would have to be abandoned.

Defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan made the statement Friday without the jury present.

Murray, who was not in court for the hearing, has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the June 2009 death of the superstar from an overdose of propofol.

The idea of Jackson orally giving himself the fatal dose was long touted by defense attorneys as a centerpiece of their case.

Documents had been filed and

arguments heard about studies on the issue.

The attorneys have even referred to a fruit juice jar found on Jackson’s bedside table, suggesting he had taken the drug with juice.

Flanagan initially dropped the bombshell Wednesday that the defense was abandoning the strategy.

“We are not going to assert at any point in this trial that Michael Jackson at any time orally ingested propofol,” said Flanagan, who revealed he had commissioned a study that concluded propofol would not be absorbed into the body when ingested.

But he did not say when the study had been done.

Prosecutors and the judge appeared stunned at the announce-

Caravaggio art exhibit opens in Fort Worth FORT WORTH (AP) — Works

by Italian artist Caravaggio will be displayed along with pieces by those influenced by him in an exhibit opening in Fort Worth.

“Caravaggio and His Followers in Rome” opens Sunday at the Kimbell Art Museum. The exhibit, which runs through Jan. 8, features 10 works by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio and more than 40 works from artists inspired by him, including Jusepe de Ribera, Georges de La Tour and Peter Paul Rubens.

The exhibit, previously on display at the National Gallery of Canada, is making its only U.S. stop in Fort Worth.

Caravaggio’s dramatic paintings are noted for the illumination of his subjects against dark backgrounds and his realistic depictions of people, often based on live models.

Eric M. Lee, director of the Kimbell, said Caravaggio “created a new kind of art — dramatic, deeply emotional, grounded in the vivid details of everyday life and overwhelmingly human.

“In the process, he altered the course of European art,” Lee said.

Caravaggio was born in 1571 in the village of Caravaggio near Milan and settled in Rome in the mid-1590s. Known for his volatile personality, he fled Rome after killing a man in a fight in 1606. He then spent time in Naples, Sicily and Malta. He died in July 1610 at the age of 38 while making his way back to Rome after being pardoned by the pope.

“He was kind of the original bad boy artist,” said David Franklin, director of the Cleveland Museum of Art who co-curated the exhibit when he worked at the National Gallery of Canada.

The exhibit features works

by Caravaggio ranging from the

religious — including “Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness” and “Sacrifice of Isaac” — to those depicting the seedier sides of life. “The Cardsharps” shows men cheating at cards while “The Gypsy Fortune Teller” shows a fortune teller stealing a man’s ring as she holds his hand.

“He’s an artist that still today seems very radical and revolutionary,” Franklin said.

“His work was very un-idealized.

That was counter to the history of art as well,” Franklin said. “He wanted an art that was more truthful to what he saw in the street.”

Franklin said that of the paintings on display by those whom Caravaggio influenced, most were produced after his death.

“He was very solitary and he really resented when anyone wanted to copy his style,” Franklin said.

ment At Friday’s hearing, on a day when testimony was not heard, Deputy District Attorney David Walgren told the judge, “We are dealing with an ever-changing defense. It was just a couple of days ago they abandoned oral propofol.”

“Oh, your honor, that is not correct,” Flanagan said.

“No?’ Walgren asked incredulously.

“We abandoned oral propofol months ago,” said Flanagan, saying they were swayed by a report from the leading expert on the drug, who is expected to testify for the prosecution next week.

He said Dr. Steven Shafer had questioned “the bioavailability of oral propofol,” meaning whether it

would be absorbed into the body if swallowed.

Flanagan said the defense decided to have its own study conducted and, “We determined back in May that bioavailability of oral propofol was not feasible.”

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor said he had never been advised in advance that the theory would be dropped. He said he would not be dealing with Walgren’s claims of an ever-changing defense.

“I don’t have to go there,” he said. “It is what it is right now.”

Flanagan’s disclosure offered a backstage look at possible defense gamesmanship in leading prosecutors to prepare to answer a defense theory that would never

be presented.

A defense attorney not involved in the case said it is not an

ethical or legal obligation of the defense to keep the prosecution posted on its strategies.

Tech gets fired up with Homecoming pep rally

By PAIGE SKINNER STAFF WRITER

PHOT BY SCOTT MACWATTERS/The Daily Toreador

THE FLAMING DOUBLE-T is lit up during the 2011 Homecoming Pep Rally at the John B. Walker Soccer Complex on Friday.

Red Raiders filled the John B. Walker Soccer Complex with their Guns Up in the air while chanting to get ready for the Homecoming football game against the Kansas State Wildcats.

Texas Tech students, faculty, staff and alumni kept Red Raider spirit high during the Homecoming pep rally, which took place Friday night after the Red Raider soccer team played Kansas.

The pep rally was opened with the playing of “Fight Raiders, Fight by the Goin’ Band from Raiderland, followed by chants led by the Pom Squad and cheerleaders.

Rick Roberts, a Tech alumnus from Houston, said the Homecoming pep rally is important in getting the weekend started.

“I grew up in West Texas and have always been a Red Raider fan. I’ve never missed a game,” he said.

The 2010 Homecoming king and queen took part in events throughout the week and introduced the Homecoming court of 2011 during the pep rally.

Jessica Cravens, the 2010 Homecoming queen, said she

continues to stay involved with the university.

“It’s been so great and awesome that they’ve invited us back just to stay involved in it,” the alumna from Carrolton said. “These top 10 candidates are great, so it’s going to be really tough to see who exactly takes it away because it’s a big competition.”

After the 2011 Homecoming court was presented, Tech president Guy Bailey made a short speech. He said Tech had the best student body in the United States and told everyone to yell as loud as possible at the game Saturday.

Kirby Hocutt, Tech’s athletic director, said a few words to get the crowd excited and ready for the Homecoming football game.

Hocutt graduated from Kansas State and set the scene for when the Red Raiders play his alma mater.

“One thing they don’t know is we do it a little different at night at the Jones AT&T Stadium,” he said. “There is something a little mystical about playing football under the stars.”

Bradley Skinner, The Masked Rider, said he is excited for every game and prepares the same way for the Homecoming game as he does the others.

The pep rally ended by turn-

ing off all the lights at the soccer complex and lighting the flaming Double T. Skinner’s cape was lit up on the back in the shape of a Double T. “It was a lot of fun,” the senior animal sciences major from Arvada, Colo., said. “It was cool with the lights being out.”

The Goin’ Band performed while the Twirling Line twirled glowing batons.

T h e Tw i r l i n g L i n e w o r e “Burn Ban 2011” T-shirts because they were originally supposed to twirl flaming batons.

Due to the burn ban, however, they were unable to.

Sarah Rendon, a twirler, said she had a lot of fun at her first Homecoming pep rally, and she loved the energy and enthusiasm of the crowd.

“I think the Homecoming pep rally brings the whole Tech community together,” the freshman psychology major from San Antonio said. “It brings together the kids on campus with the alumni who get to come back and see how the school has changed and evolved. The festivities and all the events make it much more exciting.

There is a lot of spirit and pride for our school and I think that’s important to share.” ➤➤pskinner@dailytoreador.com

Physical Therapy Classic to benefit burn victims

By MICHAEL DUPONT STAFF WRITER

The Physical Therapy Classic was hosted this year at the Ransom Canyon Center to raise money to purchase garments for burn victims in need of assistance.

Magan Moore, a physical therapy graduate student from Wichita Falls, said each garment comes at an expensive price.

“A burn garment that each patient has to wear is somewhere between $150 and $200, and they have to have several of those garments to wear every day,” Moore said. “We deal a lot with the burn patients in physical therapy, so we felt compelled to help raise money.”

Early Saturday morning, 100

people gathered to walk, run or bike in support of the burn victims.

Moore said the entire Student Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy Association played a key role in the planning of the event.

“It was just us and our student organization,” Moore said.

“So, from planning the routes and the courses, to getting the signs made, to raising money and getting it on Facebook or advertising around town, we had a really great group of students get involved.”

Moore said the cost of each garment is what led to the organization deciding to reach out and help.

“The cost is just astronomical for those patients,” Moore said.

“No one prepares to be burned,

and I think it’s important to be able to help them out in their times of need.”

Brian Loyd, a physical therapy graduate student from Wray, Colo., said he believes Moore and another individual played key roles in putting the event together.

“We have no involvement from professors or outside things,” Loyd said. “This event was set up by Michael Grajeda and Magan Moore. The have been really important in leading this whole thing that was completely student-run.”

Loyd said the Physical Therapy Classic was designed to help the University Medical Center, but to help the community as well.

“We raised all the food, put up the posters, got donations and made T-shirts with no involvement from the professors,” Loyd said. “It’s just our way of trying to give back to University Medical Center and give back to the community by just doing something good.”

Michael Grajeda, a physical therapy graduate student from Richardson, said insurance companies often do not cover the

needs of burn victims.

“Insurance usually doesn’t cover (the burn garments). You have to be under a certain age for them to cover it, so we’re here

to help raise money for them,” he said.

Grajeda said he hopes the tradition of the classic does not end this year.

“This event has been passed on to the next class to take over and so they’ll be responsible for putting it on next year,” Grajeda said. ➤➤mdupont@dailytoreador.com

Bowl game appearance uncertain if Tech can’t get back to winning

T

he Red Raiders had another tough loss.

After losing to Texas A&M last weekend by five, Texas Tech lost by one possession again Saturday night as Kansas State won 41-34.

After the Nevada game, where it took a last-minute touchdown for Tech to win, I said it wasn’t time to panic. However, I would say the panic meter rests at about a seven and a half out of ten now.

This Kansas State game was one I think the Red Raiders really needed to win to have hopes of getting into a decent bowl game, or, for that matter, to even have the possibility of getting into a bowl game at all.

Granted, not too many people foresaw the Wildcats being so competitive this year, but such is the power of Bill Snyder. I’m pretty sure DJ Khaled even wrote a song about Snyder because all he does is win.

I digress, though. This loss drops the Red Raiders to 1-2 in Big 12 Conference play, and they have to travel to Norman, Okla., this weekend. The chances of a Tech upset there are about as good as the chances of Tiger Woods and his ex-wife getting back together.

Luckily, after that, Tech gets to take on Iowa State at home, but I do recall that last year the Red Raiders thought they would stomp on the poor, old Cyclones, which was not the case. Iowa State showed up ready to go and spanked a lethargic Red Raider team 52-38.

Tech then finishes out the season with three of its last four matchups coming against ranked opponents and the unranked, but strong, Missouri Tigers. So, unless Tech picks up the pace, the Red Raiders might be on the outside looking in when bowl season comes around. If they don’t take care of Iowa State and Mizzou like they should, and if they don’t upset anyone, a 5-7 season could be possible.

If this does happen, there could be a lot of angry Tech fans calling for the head of Tommy Tuberville and the heads of the rest of the coaching staff. After this loss, The Daily Toreador’s Twitter account received some angry fan responses. One fan called out Tuberville, tweeting, “Tired of talking fix the problems like you did at Auburn oops you were fired their for not making adjustment.”

Another fan also expressed some anger toward offensive coordinator Neal Brown after The DT tweeted that Brown was speaking

Brett Winegarner at postgame interviews, responding, “Well he can shut up!”

I don’t think this is the season for Tech to compete for a Big 12 title. The team is too young and it doesn’t have enough experience to win close games, as we’ve seen in the last two weeks. Next year could be the year, though, especially if Eric Stephens — who suffered a season-ending knee injury — comes back healthy.

However, if we have learned one thing from Tech fans in recent years, it’s that they want the Red Raiders to win — and not to win later, but right now.

When they had a taste of an almost-perfect season in 2008, a loss against Oklahoma in the final game of the season derailed Tech’s chances at playing in the Big 12 title game and possibly the National Championship. Then, after former head coach Mike Leach was fired, Tuberville came into a tough situation with a lot of fans already being upset.

I think one upsetting thing is the special teams play in the last two games. Tuberville came to Lubbock emphasizing strong special teams play in his statements, but the lack of special teams strength is what probably cost the Red Raiders their first two losses of the season.

Against A&M, a blocked field goal was returned for a touchdown, swinging the momentum to the Aggies. Tech had to try and overcome a deficit for the rest of the game. The Red Raiders lost by five against A&M, so take away that touchdown and Tech probably would have won.

Then, Saturday against the Wildcats, Tech had not only one, but two field goals blocked in the game. Both of these blocks — along with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by the Wildcats — also caused the momentum to shift and were major factors in the game’s outcome.

So, if Tech wants to get this season turned around, it better get all of these little problems fixed quickly. If they don’t, it could be the shortest season the Red Raiders have had since 1999, and it could be the first time Tech has had a losing season since they joined the Big 12.

Doege’s second pass of the game, originally intended for receiver Bradley Marquez, was intercepted by Kansas State cornerback Nigel Malone and taken 24 yards for a Wildcats touchdown.

The interception was Malone’s fourth of the season, tying him for sixth in the country with four other players.

Tech quickly responded, piecing together a five-play, 65-yard drive less than four minutes later, capped off by a 40-yard touchdown pass from Doege to receiver Cornelius Douglas.

Fourteen seconds into the second quarter, Tech took the lead on a 7-yard touchdown scamper from true freshman DeAndre Washington.

Kansas State receiver Tyler Lockett made sure Tech’s lead was short-lived, as he took the ensuing kickoff 100 yards to score and tie the game at 14-14.

Lockett’s kickoff was just the beginning of Tech’s special teams woes throughout the night.

Tech kicker Donnie Carona had two field goal attempts blocked in the first half, one in the first quarter and another in the second quarter.

Kansas State defensive tackle Raphael Guidry was responsible for both blocks, disrupting the middle of Tech’s field goal unit twice.

“What disappoints me is the few things on special teams that keep haunting us,” Tuberville said. “(Making) those two field goals instead of getting them blocked, you know, or (failing to) tackle the guy on the kickoff return (were) just little things that absolutely killed us.”

Statistics tilted in Tech’s favor

Doege ↵

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The Kansas State defensive back leaped, the ball settled in his hands, his feet landed in bounds and the momentum then shifted.

“I was trying to throw the ball away,” Doege said. “It was one of those things where if you’re going to throw it away, you better get it out of bounds. I guess I left it a little short and the guy picked it.”

It was a mistake by the junior signalcaller and something not seen very often in Big 12 Conference-caliber football.

“That’s the one that’ll really bug him when he watches it tomorrow,” offensive coordinator Neal Brown said. He’s trying to throw the ball away, and he just didn’t throw it high enough.”

The turnover led to a 1-yard touchdown run by Wildcats quarterback Collin Klein to make it a two-possession game.

It was Doege’s second interception in consecutive possessions.

Along with the two picks and two offensive possessions prior, Meshak Williams forced and recovered a Doege fumble.

by a large margin, considering the Red Raiders outgained the Wildcats by 241 yards on offense by the game’s end and limited Kansas State to a total of 94 yards on offense in the first half.

At halftime, Tech had regained the edge on Kansas State with the score at 28-20.

Tech’s offense sputtered in the final two quarters, producing just six points, while Kansas State closed the game out on a 14-3 run.

After a 2-yard touchdown run

by Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein to end the third quarter, Tech turned the ball over on its next three possessions.

The first was a forced fumble generated by Kansas State defensive end Meshak Williams, which set up the Wildcats’ offense inside Tech territory.

Less than three minutes later, “You can’t overcome three straight turnovers,” head coach Tommy Tuberville said. “The way we were playing defense, we knew it was going right back to the old days.

We were going to have to score to win.”

The lack of care for the football was out of character for the Wolfforth native. In 231 career attempts leading up to Saturday, Doege had only thrown one interception.

“He hadn’t thrown that many interceptions like that since I’ve been here,” Brown said. “You’re going to have, when you look back at the history, you’re going to have games like this.”

Aside from the turnovers, Kansas State struggled to stop the Red Raiders’ hurry-up offense and Doege. The junior finished with 461 yards passing and kept the Wildcats’ defense gassed and guessing.

“We had some tired guys out there,” head coach Bill Snyder said. “As fast as everything goes, to be able to come back and get some stops and get three interceptions against a guy that doesn’t throw interceptions (was) an extremely positive thing that took place.”

It was apparent early on that the Kansas State defense was going to be aggressive and opportunistic. On the game’s opening possession, Doege threw a pass to Bradley Marquez that was picked off by Nigel

an opportunity to score was given right back to Tech as the Red Raiders halted the Wildcats by forcing a turnover on downs.

On the very next play, Doege threw his second interception of the game — this time to safety Tysyn Hartman.

On the second play of the next series, Doege threw his third interception. Kansas State cornerback David Garrett was the recipient of Doege’s final intercepted throw.

Doege entered the game with one interception in five games in 2011.

“We turned the ball over way too many times,” Doege said. “We missed too many opportunities.”

The junior quarterback expressed regret toward his decisionmaking.

“I want them all back,” Doege said, referring to his intercepted

throws.

As was the case against Texas A&M, Tech failed to force a turnover against Kansas State. Klein, though he came near to throwing an interception or two as well, finished the game completing 12-of-18 passes for 146 yards and one score.

Additionally, Klein carried the ball 23 times for 110 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.

Tuberville said his players have to start taking advantage of turnover opportunities, considering where they are at right now.

“We’re not young anymore,” Tuberville said. “We don’t talk about that. We’ve got guys that have played in five or six games now and it’s time to grow up.

“It’s time to grow up and do what you need to do to win games.” ➤➤jrodriguez@dailytoreador.com

TEXAS TECH QUARTERBACK Seth Doege attempts a pass during a 41-34 loss against Kansas State on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Malone and returned for a touchdown. “(Marquez) ran the right route,” Doege said. “It was just one of those things. Instead of throwing it, I should have run it — another forced job that ended up being a negative play for us.”

Even with Doege’s turnovers, Aaron Crawford is assured it was not just the quarterback who contributed to Tech’s loss at Jones AT&T Stadium for the second time this season.

“If I had anything to say to Doege, I would tell him to keep his head up because

it’s not his fault,” Aaron Crawford said. “As a senior, I take full responsibility because there were things I could’ve done to help the team.”

But Doege took accountability for his mistakes — especially the interceptions — as he stood with a sullen sense of responsibility at the podium.

“All of them were pretty stupid on my part,” Doege said. “I mean, like I said, as a quarterback, one of our jobs is to protect the ball. I did a poor job of that tonight.” ➤➤ejansa@dailytoreador.com

Tech soccer drops tough match on Senior Night

COACH TOM STONE gives senior Taylor Lytle a hug before the Tech's game against Kansas on Friday. It was senior night for the Tech soccer team.

By EVAN JANSA STAFF WRITER

For the first five minutes, it looked like the Texas Tech soccer team would chalk up its third Big 12 Conference victory of the season against Kansas.

The failure to convert on early opportunities ultimately led to the Jayhawks running away with a 3-1 victory.

Last season, the Red Raiders cruised to a 2-0 victory at the John B. Walker Soccer Complex. Head coach Tom Stone said his team was confident because of the win and their familiarity with the Jayhawks’ personnel.

Kansas did nothing to disprove that notion.

The Red Raiders had five shots on goal in the first five minutes but could not find the back of the net. “(Kansas) came out and really offered no challenge in the first 10

minutes, and we had multiple chances to win the game right away,” Stone said. “I feel like it came so easy for us that, all of the sudden, we took our foot off the gas and Kansas woke up.”

In total, Tech posted six shots on goal in the first third of the opening half. The early dominance by the Red Raiders served as momentum for the Jayhawks, who somehow remained unscathed by the barrage.

“When you have that much of the play and you have that many chances and you don’t score, man, you leave the door open for the other team to mentally and physically get into the game,” Stone said.

In the 15th minute, Jaelene Hinkle committed a hand-ball infraction in Tech’s 18-yard box, giving Whitney Berry a penalty kick. The junior snapped a low ball to the left side of the goal past Victoria Esson for her third score in conference play.

“There’s nothing you can do about it,” Stone said. “The girl tried

to flip it over Jae(lene) and it hit her in the hand.”

The second Kansas goal was a peculiarity and a lapse in defense by the Red Raiders. After a stoppage in the second half, Amy Grow boomed a ball from midfield that clanked off the right post past Esson.

Tech defender Casey McCall, Esson and a Kansas forward all converged on the ball when it was in flight, but none of them managed to redirect it.

“I think each one of them thought the other was going to make a play,” Stone said. “It turns

out, by nobody touching it, the worst possible thing happens and it rolls in against us.”

McCall added a goal to make it 2-1, but Kansas answered late with the clinching goal as a result of the Red Raiders playing with two defenders in an attempt to equalize.

From the hand-ball infraction to the lengthy second goal, the loss goes down as one of the toughest Tech has dealt with in 2011, Stone said.

“This was probably our least effective performance of the year and some credit has to go to Kansas,” he said. “We have to look at ourselves

on this one. A lot of moments in the game did not go our way.”

The four seniors were honored before the match in front of 2,288 fans – 90 percent of which were estimated to be students by Stone.

The negative outcome of the match was something Stone said does not discount the contributions of McCall, Taylor Lytle, Madison Terry and Maggie Fete to the program.

“This game isn’t going to define those four obviously,” Stone said.

“We’ve got a lot of soccer left to play.

We’re going to play for them, and I

had hoped we would play better for them tonight.”

None of the four have qualified for the College Cup in their careers, making it something the program strives for and also a way to punctuate the senior’s tenures at Tech.

“They’ve seen this program be built, but we’d love for them to experience getting around the next corner,” Stone said. “There’s still time left in the season to get that.”
