The Daily ToreadorTRANSCRIPT
The Texas Tech System Board of Regents reapproved the construction of the Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing facility in El Paso at its meet-ing on Friday in Abilene.
The item originally was approved as an $11 million facility with a small simulation lab at the last Board of Regents meeting, Dr. Jose Manuel de La Rosa, vice president of health af-fairs at Tech Health Sciences Center in El Paso, said, but needed to be reapproved because of the additional funding the Hunt family provided, al-lowing for the expansion of the scope of the project.
“The reapproval of the Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing came about
because we were able to receive $3.5 million in additional funding for the school, which will allow us to build out a larger simulation center than we had originally requested,” he said. “This amount of funding requires approval from the Board of Regents.”
Since the expansion was approved, de La Rosa said the dean and de La Rosa can speak with the architects and begin the planning process to break ground in August.
The building will be built adjacent to the Paul L. Foster School of Medi-cine building, he said, and allows for collaboration between the two schools including the sharing of laboratories and classes, which is called interdis-ciplinary education.
Controlling and predicting the properties of metallic glasses may become easier because of a study conducted by Texas Tech and Yale researchers.
Researchers Golden Kumar, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Tech, and Jan Schroers, professor of mechanical engineering and materials science at Yale, discovered a model that can determine why some metallic glasses are brittle or ductile, according to a news release.
The scientifi c signifi cance is that the product has the appearance of metal, has moldable qualities, but is stronger than steel, according to the release.
The study, “Critical fi ctive temperature for plasticity in metallic glasses,” was pub-lished in the online scientifi c peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications, according to the journal’s website.
The study shows the specifi c critical fi c-tive temperature necessary for the glassy state that has plastic properties and the critical cooling rate required for pliability, according to the release.
Kumar and Schroers’ model, the release stated, explains more about metallic glasses and why some are brittle or sensitive to aging.
Because of diffi culties during experiment-ing, there have been no singular theories explaining the unique properties of the metal, plastic and glass in one material, according to the release.

Board of Regents reapprove El Paso School of Nursing
Tech to have fi rst School of Accounting in Texas
Texas Tech will house the fi rst and only accounting school in the state after the Board of Regents approved the item at its meeting Friday.
Provost Bob Smith said there are more than 1,600 business schools in the U.S., but the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, a program whose mission is to advance management edu-cation and leadership through worldwide accreditation, accredits only 168 of those with accounting programs.
Of those programs, there are 40 schools of accounting nationwide. Tech, he said, will become No. 41, and the fi rst in Texas.
“That’s a rare group among over 1,600 business schools,” Smith said, “and the fi rst school of accounting in the state of Texas.”
Creating a Tech School of Account-ing will add recognition and provide an opportunity for advancement, Smith said.
Lance Nail, the dean of the Rawls College of Business Administration, said
this is a milestone for Tech’s accounting program.
“Elevating our program to a school of accounting attaches an elite status to our program that has (been) earned through years of outstanding graduate placements, high CPA pass rates and impactful faculty scholarship,” Nail said in a news release.
It is important to note, Smith said, that Tech was nationally ranked in the top fi ve for its excellence in bachelor’s and master’s degrees by one of the top four accounting programs.
Having a school of accounting will do more than increase enrollment, Smith said.
“It’ll help enrollment, and what we said was, ‘It’s not only for that,’” he said. “It’s for the visibility, the opportunity to raise funds, and it’s also recognizing excellence in accounting education here at Tech for many years.”
Among other items approved by the Board of Regents, Smith said there were also 68 appointments of tenure.

SGA addresses election issues with hearingGSAC announces election results, sets voting record
Results for the Texas Tech Graduate Student Advisory Council’s elections were announced at 6:30 p.m. Friday during a ceremony at the Tech Downtown Center.
This year’s elections set record highs for GSAC, said Jacek Jasinski, director of gradu-ate student life. There were 79 candidates campaigning on the ballot, he said, about triple the number from the year before.
The voting turnout also set a record at 15.8 percent, compared to last year’s 10 percent.
There were 20 positions open to become a full, voting member of the council, Jasinski said, and 50 offered positions on GSAC’s eight different commissions. Commission members will not have the full voting rights of council members, he said, but they will be able to vote and work on specifi c issues within their commissions.
The three top-voted representatives on the ballot were Jing Xie, a doctoral chemistry student, Ashley Batastini, a doctoral clini-cal psychology student and Daniel Bates, a doctoral biology student who also was elected graduate vice president for the Student Gov-ernment Association, Jasinski said.
Now that external elections are done, he said internal elections for executive leader-ship positions will take place.➤➤[email protected]

NELLIS
M. Duane Nellis was named the sole finalist in the search for the next presi-dent of Texas Tech on Friday.
Chancellor Kent Hance gave the an-nouncement after the Board of Regents voted unanimously and he said this is an exciting time for Tech.
“This man is truly qualified,” Hance said at a news conference. “I think the public’s going to love him. I know the faculty will. I know the administration will.”
Nellis was serving as the president of the University of Idaho, Hance said, and had previously served as provost and senior vice president of Kansas State and the dean of the College of Arts and Sci-ences at West Virginia.
According to the University of Idaho’s
website, Nellis became presi-dent in 2009, and has been recognized for producing re-cord s tudent e n r o l l m e n t s and increasing the school’s re-search funding.
He also has served as the
commissioner for the Northwest Com-mission of Colleges and Universities, an organization that oversees the educa-tional quality and institutional effective-ness of institutions in states including Oregon and Washington, according to the online biography.

JILL BERGER, INTERNAL vice president elect, pleads the intent of passing out candy during elections was not malicious during a Student Government Association elections commission hearing Sunday in the Senate Room.

Following the unofficial announce-ments of the winners in the Student Government Association elections, Bridge the Gap and Raiders’ Voice blocs filed several complaints against the Raiders United bloc.
Logan Dickenson, Luke Cotton and Jill Berger, the members running for seats in the executive branch within Raiders United, each won the seat they were campaigning for.
The hearing involving the filed griev-ances was given in front of six members of the election committee. Rather than cross-examination during the hearing, discussions followed by rebuttals were heard.
Jose Barraza, a junior political sci-ence major from Houston and a candi-date who ran for president of the Raid-ers’ Voice bloc, accused Raiders United for several improper actions during their campaign.
Barraza said members of Raiders United conducted massive callings dur-ing the elections, sometimes harassing students to make sure they would vote. He also said the bloc gave candy to students who voted for the bloc, which
violates the election code that says pen-alty and reward should not be applied during the voting process.
“There is clear dishonesty,” Barraza said. “There is a clear negative approach to the students.”
Sean Buckley represented Raiders United during the hearing. In his re-sponse, he said the allegations are very serious, but cannot be proven.
Addressing the complaints, Buckley said the phone calls were not soliciting students to vote for their members; it was only to make students aware that voting was taking place.
Buckley also said Dickenson, Cotton and Berger were not using candy as a way to incentivize students to vote for their party. He said they were giving out candy as a way to reward students to vote, not because of whom they voted for.
“Under no means were they giving out candy in exchange for votes,” he said. “They were on the table to at-tract people generally, whether they were voting students or members of the maintenance staff walking by.”
Following both responses, Daniel Yates, a candidate for graduate vice president for Bridge the Gap, accused the other bloc of a few more allegations. Along with the previous accusations
given by Barraza, Yates said Dickenson messaged his friends on Facebook and told them if they did not have time to vote, they could send him their eRaider username and password and he would vote for them.
Yates also said Berger sent out an email to everyone in her apartment
complex, telling them to vote for her party, and the group used events such as Chilifest to promote the bloc.
Their actions, he said, are in viola-tion of several codes in the election code.

The Texas Tech System Board of Regents approved the appoint-ment of two Health Sciences Center professors to the Grover E. Murray Professorship and post-humous emeritus professorship at its meeting Thursday.
Afzal Siddiqui, professor of immunology and molecular bi-ology, internal medicine, and pathology, was appointed to the Grover E. Murray Professorship, and Dr. Harry Weitlauf was ap-pointed to posthumous professor emeritus.
The Grover E. Murray Profes-sorship at HSC can be compared to the Horn Professorship at Tech, said Dr. Steven Berk, dean of HSC School of Medicine, and is given to faculty members who have received national and international distinction.
Berk said there are two other Grover Murray professors in HSC right now, three have retired and one has moved to a different institution.
“It’s for faculty members who have developed an international
reputation or distinction in re-search, scholarship or creative achievement,” he said. “So for Dr. Siddiqui, it honors him as both an excellent teacher of his field, which is parasitology, but also for his research accomplish-ments in vaccine development and parasite immunology.”
Siddiqui is developing a vac-cine against parasitic disease, Berk said.
Siddiqui also has received more than $4 million in funding in the last five years, he said, and has received various awards including the President’s Excel-lence in Research Award and the Chancellor’s Distinguished Research Award.
“This is an award that rec-ognizes his work in vaccine development, all of (his) success with the National Institute of Health,” Berk said.
Siddiqui also received a Ful-bright Research and Teaching scholarship, he said, and is in Southeast Asia doing research for the scholarship.
To obtain the professorship, Siddiqui had to be nominated by the School of Medicine, re-
viewed by the Grover Murray professors and recommended to Dr. Tedd Mitchell, the president of HSC, Berk said.
Brandt Schneider, dean of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, said Siddiqui was ap-pointed because of the research he was a part of.
“He’s a great researcher,” he said, “and a great person who has a very illustrious research career.”
Weitlauf, Berk said, died of a heart attack in October, and was appointed professor emeritus posthumously at the meeting.
Emeritus is an honorary ap-pointment, he said, that recog-nizes the person’s career after spending at least 10 years as a faculty member at HSC.
Professor emeritus is normally awarded to distinguished profes-sors after retirement, Berk said, after approval is received from faculty, the faculty executive council, the dean, the president, the chancellor and the Board of Regents.
“In the case of Dr. Weitlauf,” he said, “this is posthumous be-cause he didn’t retire, he died in October of 2012, but the faculty
wanted to honor him for his work over many, many years at Texas Tech.”
Weitlauf was a professor at HSC since 1982, Berk said, and was chairman of the Department of Cell Biology and Biochemistry from 1982 until death.
Weitlauf also participated in research in human embryology, helped to develop the Cancer Research Center and raise money for the Lubbock Hope Lodge, part of the American Cancer Society, he said.
“There were many different things about him that we wanted to honor,” Berk said, “and so that’s why we asked for approval to make him an emeritus profes-sor posthumously.”
Weitlauf, Schneider said, im-pacted many people in positive ways while he was alive, and a hole has been left by his death.
“He was a larger-than- life fig-ure in a lot of ways,” he said, “and that he impacted a lot of people in the Health Sciences Center, and he’s certainly very missed.”
Both appointments were ap-proved unanimously, Berk said.

“It is an honor to be selected as sole finalist for the Texas Tech University presidency,” Nellis said in a news release. “Texas Tech University is one of the nation’s rapidly-emerging public research universities, and I am grateful to be a part of the university’s exciting and promis-ing future.”
Nellis earned his bachelor’s degree in earth sciences/geog-raphy at Montana State and his master’s and doctoral degrees in geography at Oregon State, Hance said.
Along with serving various leadership roles in higher educa-tion, he said Nellis is a prolific writer and has published more than 100 articles and reports.
Everywhere he and the board looked, Hance said they heard glowing remarks about his lead-ership and personality.
“We’re proud of him,” Hance said. “We’re proud of the job that we know he will do.”
Following the vote, he said 21 days must pass before Nellis can assume the role as president.
Student Regent Suzanne Tay-lor said the similarities between the accomplishments of Nellis and the direction that Tech is pursuing was an important part of the selection process.
“Just having a president that has experience in the role of the president is huge,” she said. “We had many that were very qualified that had not had that experience. But it does help because you are in charge of a large budget, you’re in charge of so many different areas within a university and at the same time, the knowledge of pursuing tier-one.”
In selecting the 16th presi-dent of Tech, Taylor said there was a long list of questions mem-bers of the Board asked and a lot of qualities they considered.
These qualities included not only how well the candidates interacted with students, faculty and staff, but the candidate’s community involvement and ability to be hospitable with donors and alumni.
Another part of the selection process, she said, was determin-ing how well the person would fit in with the culture at Tech.
“It definitely helps for them to understand the culture of the university and that is a big part of it,” Taylor said. “Are they going to be a good fit at Texas Tech and in Lubbock? Will they be good with the people and personalities that are part of our university?”
Nancy Neal, a member of the Board of Regents, chaired the advisory committee which worked in conjunction with the presidential search committee.
The process of selecting a new president, she said, was exten-sive, but good.
Neal said she views Tech as a school that needed an experi-enced leader.
“We wanted someone who was experienced,” she said, “that was an academic that could iden-tify with the mission of educa-tion of our kids, and yet, had the leadership and dynamic appeal to bring together everything we needed.”
The committee developed criteria for the type of person they were looking for, she said, and forwarded eight or nine can-didates to the search committee.
The search committee then interviewed and researched the candidates before submit-ting three final candidates to the Board of Regents, who did interviews of their own before selecting the solo finalist.
“(Nellis) was not one that came to us,” she said. “There was persuasion to even get him into the search because he was happy at Idaho. He wasn’t looking for a change, and that meant a lot to me. I didn’t want someone look-ing for a job. I wanted someone who was happy where he was and the university was doing well. That was the kind of person we were after.”
Neal said the encouraging part of the search process was that Tech has risen in academic
stature, and as a result, was able to attract an excellent group of candidates.
Nellis succeeds Interim Presi-dent Lawrence Schovanec, who assumed the position after the resignation of former President Guy Bailey in August 2012.
During the news conference, Neal said Schovanec served incredibly well, and without his leadership, it would have been difficult to announce Nellis as the 16th president of Tech.
Schovanec said he believes Tech’s appearance as an emerg-ing research university may have helped recruit the next president.
“I would also venture that Tech’s image probably made it look pretty attractive to the new president,” he said, “and I think that’s good. There’s lots of positives.”
Although Schovanec said his future plans are not set in stone, he does know what he will be doing for the next 21 days.
“I think what I have to do is remained focused on doing the job until the new president’s on campus,” he said. “That’s what I said when I took the job and that’s what I’m going to continue to do. We have a lot of work to still get done. I look forward to working with the new president and helping him with the tran-sition.”
Nursing↵CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“The nursing education building for the Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing will have a synergistic effect with the medical education building,” La Rosa said. “They’ll be able to share programs, labs — as an example, the simulation laboratory will be able to benefit both the nursing and the medical students.”
The new facility also will al-low nursing students more access to the El Paso campus since they will be on campus instead of in the current facility they are renting in
downtown El Paso, he said. For instance, once built, the students will have closer access to libraries and dining halls.
The new facility is expected to bring 600 nursing students to the El Paso campus in the next fi ve years, La Rosa said.
“It allows us to graduate more nurses for the community,” he said, “and very specifically to recruit nurses not only from El Paso, but also from other cities in Texas to serve the community of El Paso.”
The Medical Center of the Americas in El Paso donated the original $11 million, La Rosa said.
Accounting↵CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
When professors are hired, he said there is a very detailed and clear policy for them to achieve tenure.
Smith requested changes in aca-demic rank and granting for tenure to 38 faculty members. The majority of the candidates are being promoted from assistant professor to associate professor, he said, and a few to associate librarian and associate archivist.
These candidates have been strongly recommended from their respected colleges.
With the requests, Smith said 701 faculty members at Tech — or 73.1 percent — would obtain tenure.
“(They) have been judged by the appropriate departmental and colle-giate committees and administrative personnel as worthy of the promotions for which they have been recom-mended,” Smith said in a statement.
The Board also approved the designation of Horn Professor, a pro-fessorship that recognizes scholarly achievement and outstanding service, to Hongxing Jiang, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Com-puter Engineering.➤➤[email protected] ➤➤[email protected]
WASHINGTON (AP) — A baby born with the AIDS virus ap-pears to have been cured, scientists announced Sunday, describing the case of a child from Mississippi who’s now 2½ and has been off medica-tion for about a year with no signs of infection.
There’s no guarantee the child will remain healthy, although so-phisticated testing uncovered just traces of the virus’ genetic material still lingering. If so, it would mark only the world’s second reported cure.
Specialists say Sunday’s an-nouncement, at a major AIDS meeting in Atlanta, offers promising clues for efforts to eliminate HIV infection in children, especially in AIDS-plagued African countries where too many babies are born with the virus.
“You could call this about as close to a cure, if not a cure, that we’ve seen,” Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, who is familiar with the fi ndings, told The Associated Press.
A doctor gave this baby faster and stronger treatment than is usual, starting a three-drug infusion within 30 hours of birth. That was before tests confi rmed the infant was infected and not just at risk from a mother whose HIV wasn’t diagnosed until she was in labor.
“I just felt like this baby was at higher-than-normal risk, and de-served our best shot,” Dr. Hannah Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the University of Mississippi, said in an interview.
That fast action apparently knocked out HIV in the baby’s blood before it could form hideouts in the
Scientists say baby with HIV apparently curedbody. Those so-called reservoirs of dormant cells usually rapidly reinfect anyone who stops medication, said Dr. Deborah Persaud of Johns Hop-kins Children’s Center. She led the investigation that deemed the child “functionally cured,” meaning in long-term remission even if all traces of the virus haven’t been completely eradicated.
Next, Persaud’s team is planning a study to try to prove that, with more aggressive treatment of other high-risk babies. “Maybe we’ll be able to block this reservoir seeding,” Persaud said.
No one should stop anti-AIDS drugs as a result of this case, Fauci cautioned.
But “it opens up a lot of doors” to research if other children can be helped, he said. “It makes perfect sense what happened.”
Better than treatment is to pre-vent babies from being born with
HIV in the fi rst place.About 300,000 children were
born with HIV in 2011, mostly in poor countries where only about 60 percent of infected pregnant women get treatment that can keep them from passing the virus to their babies. In the U.S., such births are very rare because HIV testing and treatment long have been part of prenatal care.
“We can’t promise to cure babies who are infected. We can promise to prevent the vast majority of trans-missions if the moms are tested dur-ing every pregnancy,” Gay stressed.
The only other person considered cured of the AIDS virus underwent a very different and risky kind of treat-ment — a bone marrow transplant from a special donor, one of the rare people who is naturally resistant to HIV. Timothy Ray Brown of San Francisco has not needed HIV medications in the fi ve years since that transplant.
SGA↵CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1In response, Buckley said
members of Bridge the Gap also used various third parties to promote their campaign.
Buckley said Dickenson’s email was the idea of the apart-ment complex manager, and she does not have any control over what other people post about candidates.
The election committee did not make a decision after the meeting, but will send a memo to the candidates regarding the decision after closed discus-sions.
Bridge the Gap and Raid-ers’ Voice have suggested the disqualification of the accused candidates.

Pretty Things Peepshow stops in LubbockFrom swallowing knives and
fire to lying on a bed of nails, all while wearing burlesque costumes, the performers who took the stage Friday night at Bash Riprock’s showed off their various talents.
The Pretty Things Peepshow, an entertainment company out of New York City, provides a blend of burlesque dancing and sideshow acts, based on enter-tainment called Broadville, according to the company’s website.
The show, hosted by Donny Vomit, featured Go-Go Amy, who performed multiple bur-lesque dances, fire-eating and contortion inside of a Chinese execution box; Rachel Ren-egade, who laid bed of nails; and Little Miss Firefly, who escaped from a strait jacket, walked over broken glass, and climbed a stair of swords. The in-house band
was The Peeping Toms. “No two shows are ever the
same,” Rachel Renegade, the so-called ‘pain-proof princess’ f rom the United Kingdom, said. “It can vary so much — even your act can vary, d e p e n d i n g on the s i z e of the stage, the number of people in the audience, the r eac t ion o f the audience. All of the acts that I do have an e l ement of danger in them, which I think is quite exciting.”
The production was the idea of Go-Go Amy, who said she realized there wasn’t anything like it already on tour.
“I had been a solo performer
for a long time,” she said. “I just wanted work that was more full time, and there wasn’t really a show that was doing what we’re doing, so I just decided to start
my own.” Not all of
the perform-ers originally j o i n e d t h e group to per-form.
“ I f i r s t came out on tour in 2010 w h e n w e did Ozzfest,” Rachel Ren-e g a d e s a i d . “ I ju s t so ld merchandise, but everyone would come up to me and
ask what I did in the show. It got really embarrassing and annoy-ing after a while, so I decided to basically join the show. I self-taught and with the help of
the other great performers in the show, I got some acts together. I absolutely love it.”
Every performance was greet-ed and rewarded with a round of applause from the audience of 320 members who appeared to be enjoying the show.
The show ended with Go-Go Amy contorting herself to avoid being sliced to pieces in the Chinese execution blade box.
According to their website, the box is a tradition of classic sideshow acts. In the act, the contortionist gets into the box while someone pushes blades into the box through slots in the top. After the blades have been inserted, the audience is invited to the stage to view the contortionist in the box.
“I hope the audience is enter-tained and they see something new that they’ve never seen before,” Go-Go Amy said. “We just want to do something a little different.”

Club hosts fi rst German Top Chef contestThe room was fi lled with tables
decorated with German themes and fi lled with authentic German foods.
The Texas Tech German Club hosted its first German Top Chef on Friday in the Foreign Languages building.
Anita McChesney, the German Club adviser, said the idea was creat-ed to give German language students something fun to participate in.
“We wanted to do something that would get the stu-dents excited about the culture they’re learning about,” she said.
The competi-tion was open to all 10 of the German classes ranging from fi rst-year stu-dents to graduate students, McChesney said.
“Anyone from any of the classes was allowed to participate and make one or more dishes,” she said. “Each class that participated got their own table to set up and decorate with their dishes.”
The contest was judged mainly by Tech students who paid 50 cents per dish to try the food and vote on which food they liked best, McChesney said.
Allison Burrell, a senior psychol-ogy and German major from Houston,
is the president of the German club this year and came up with the idea of the contest.
“A lot of people aren’t really fa-miliar with German food or culture,” she said. “I had done contests like this before, so I thought it would be something fun to try here at Tech.”
Each dish had the opportunity to be judged by the students with awards for the best sweet dish, best savory
d i sh , bes t table design and a best overall prize, McChesney said.
“The of-ficers of the G e r m a n Club tried all the dishes t o j u d g e the overall best prize,” Burrell said. “The grand prize winner won a Ger-man spaet-
zle-maker.”There was a wide range of dishes
ranging from authentic German brat-wurst to traditional German desserts such as kaiserchemarrn.

any of the names, they were all really good and different than what I am used to.”
The German Club plans to use all the money made from the event to cover the costs of the prizes and other materials bought for the event, McChesney said.
“The German Club doesn’t really get a lot of publicity around campus,” Burrell said. “That’s another reason we decided to put on this event — so
that we could get more people aware of the club.”
McChesney said the German Club would like to make the compe-tition an annual event for the club to host.
“I would defi nitely come again if they did it next year,” Parker said. “I had a good time this year and I bet more people will come if they do it again.”

Selfi sh alcoholics plague masses heard of, the person who had been drinking walks away with minimal damage and the members in the other car are either seriously injured or killed. Not only will the drunken driver live with the guilt for life, but have that on their criminal record, be facing possible jail time, and possible monetary compensation for the other person’s family.
This worries me every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night when driving anywhere around Lubbock.
The biggest problem I have with drinking and driving is how easy it is to fix. When going out with friends, take tu rns be ing the designated driver. If no o n e w a n t s to volunteer, agree to keep the a lcohol consumption at home and collect keys. If all else fails, call a cab. This option may be
thought to be pricier, but if split with multiple people, it is not out-rageous — maybe $5-$10 a person.
The next time you are going out, think about the risk you will be taking getting behind the wheel. As cliché as that sounds, you are not only risking your life, but the lives of everyone in Lub-bock, including myself. If you drink and drive because you like the adrenaline rush, ride a roller coaster. Go skydiving.
“
“People our age — high school and
college students, tend to think we are
indestructible and that nothing can
happen to us.
When talking about the dangers of driv-ing in Texas, most
of the talk is about the use of cell phones while driving. While I do agree that the number of accidents — and consequently injuries and fatalities — has increased because of the use of cell phones and people trying to text while they drive, I think another issue is more important.
We have all grown up with dif-ferent adults and organizations tell-ing us about the dangers of drinking and driving. We all watched as our favorite television characters like D.J. Tanner tackled the issue, like when her best friend Kimmy got drunk at a party and D.J. admitted that a drunken driver killed her mother. Although we have these messages, like the Texas Depart-ment of Transportation’s “Drink. Drive. Go to Jail,” it still seems to be ignored.
Almost every time I talk to someone from high school, there is another person that I grew up with that has been killed because they were drinking and driving. And al-though we have all of these people telling us not to do it, every week-end I hear about someone who did it anyway. People our age — high school and college students — tend to think that we are indestructible and that nothing can happen to us.
According to the Texas Depart-ment of Transportation, in 2011, Lubbock County had nearly 400 car crashes that involved driving under the infl uence of alcohol. More than 130 of those crashes resulted in a se-rious injury or a fatality. While that may not sound like an overly large number with Texas Tech’s student body ringing in at more than 30,000 students, it should be smaller.
It tends to be people’s mindset that if they did it one time and nothing happened to them — they
did not get pulled over or get into a car accident — they were successful and can get away with it every time. And with people in the spotlight like Lindsay Lohan or Aman-d a B y n e s seeming to do it every t i m e w e turn around w i t h o u t any conse-quences, it is easier to believe that nothing will happen to us when we do it.
W h a t I b e l i e v e people my age do not t a k e i n t o c o n s i d e r -ation is the fact we are no longer considered children in the eyes of the law. If a person is pulled over and receives a DUI or DWI, that charge will remain on their record and can hurt them when looking for a job, or anything that involves a background check. It will make them look irresponsible and like a risk — likely a risk many are not willing to take. There are also the effects of a car accident to think of. If a driver were to hit another car while under the infl uence of alcohol, they would not only po-tentially be ruining their life, but the life of others. In almost every drunken driving accident I have

War on drugs made dangerous synthetics possible
It has been almost three months since Texas teenager Emily Bauer became stable enough to come off of life support after suffering several seizures and strokes, allegedly caused by synthetic drugs. Bauer is now constrained to a wheelchair and has only recently regained the ability to swallow solid food.
Like many teenagers, Emily fell victim to the pressures of adoles-cence and made a bad decision to consume drugs. But instead of suf-fering from a headache or increased appetite, Bauer suffered blood clots in her brain that led to severe brain damage.
The Drug Enforcement Adminis-
tration (DEA) and law enforcement are fi ghting a losing battle against marijuana that some states have already bowed out of. The introduc-tion of synthetic cannabinoids, such as Spice and K2, only helps the argu-ment that marijuana should be legal-ized by noting that the illicit drug has not proved to cause health risks.
Since the legal substances be-came popular over the last eight years, the federal government and the DEA have fought another losing battle to catch up with the drugs’ manufacturers in order to ban the specifi c compounds that make up the dangerous products.
The problem is that every time a sanction is put in place to make a specifi c strand of the synthetic can-nabinoids illegal, the drug makers are able to produce a different strand
that complies with current law that has even more unpredictable side effects.
When the government tried to make any product that can be used as synthetic drugs illegal, the manufacturers in turn just marketed the products as potpourri or incense and marked the packages to say that the product is not for human consumption.
Emily’s story is one of many sto-ries of how synthetic narcotics have affected those who use it beyond the designed inebriation. It has come to a point where the illicit drugs are a healthier alternative to the synthetic drugs that were designed to emulate the same high as marijuana.
The only difference is the con-troversial legality of marijuana and society’s perception of it.

Texas Tech (7-5) won its Sunday afternoon game 7-0 against La Salle (2-5) to win the entire three-game series 2-1.
Tech freshman right-handed pitcher Matt Withrow (2-1) earned the win for the Red Raiders, while La Salle junior left-handed pitcher Shawn O’Neill picked up the loss for the Explorers.
Tech coach Tim Tadlock said Withrow was exactly what Tech needed Sunday. Withrow threw 97 pitches in seven shutout innings, recording eight strikeouts.
“Just what the doctor ordered,” Tadlock said about Withrow. “He pitched ahead most of today, com-manded a couple of pitches, pitched on both sides of the plate. Very impressive.”
It was a slow start with only one hit combined between the two teams during the fi rst two innings.
Tech scored two runs in the third inning. O’Neill balked in the third and then in the fourth inning, after a walk from Tech freshman designated hitter Jarrad Poteete, sophomore third baseman Tim Proudfoot hit a triple — his fi rst one of the season.
Sunday was Proudfoot’s third
game playing third base and his sec-ond starting at the position.
Tadlock compared Proudfoot at the hot corner to former Tech third baseman Reid Redman.
“So far, I really like it,” Tadlock said about Proudfoot at third. “I mean, I told somebody this the other day: Reid Redman, you go back and look at him on the turf, really good side-to-side, really good laterally, and that’s kind of what Timmy gives you. The turf plays really fast and it’s really important a guy at third base can do that.”
On Saturday, Tech senior right-handed pitcher Trey Masek threw a complete-game shutout game against La Salle.
The Red Raiders won the game 3-0, improving their overall record to just above .500.
Masek now has pitched 24 score-less innings with 27 strikeouts. Masek allowed six hits, no walks and pitched a career-high 12 strikeouts Saturday night, living up to his title last week of Big 12 Pitcher of the Week.
“It’s just something that hap-pens,” Masek said. “As a starter, my main goal is to keep pitch counts down and to get as deep as I can into a ballgame. If a guy happens to get out via strikeout, so be it. As long

as I can help out the team, that’s all that matters.”
Sophomore left fi elder Brett Bell produced a multi-hit game, despite inklings of being hurt earlier in the week.
Friday’s starter, sophomore right-handed pitcher Dominic Moreno, tweeted congratulations to Masek after his win.
“Congrats on a dominating per-formance to one of the best pitchers I’ve ever been around and our best @treymasek,” Moreno tweeted.
Tadlock said Masek pitched a great game.
“Outstanding,” he said about Masek. “That was a great perfor-mance. Two weeks in a row. He’s commanded a couple pitches and pounded the (strike) zone. It was exactly what we needed.”
It was an extra-inning game Friday night when the Red Raiders lost to the La Salle Explorers in the 12th inning 6-5.
Tech evened its wins and losses (5-5), while La Salle improved to 2-3.
Tech senior right-handed pitcher Jerad McCrummen pitched a career-high four innings, but it wasn’t enough to help Tech’s fi rst season loss at Rip Griffi n Park.
“It would have felt a lot better if we’d come in with a win, I know that,” McCrummen said about his career-high innings pitched. “I just want to go out there and put our team in the best position to win as I can.”
Tech sophomore right-handed pitcher Dominic Moreno started off in a bind with the bases loaded in the second inning after walking three batters. He recovered by striking out La Salle freshman second baseman Brandon Day to end the inning.
Tadlock said he thought More-no’s performance was not very good.
“Not very good at all,” he said. “Pitched behind the whole night. I just told our coaches if you’re a little

deeper on the mound, you just pull him after the third inning, and you say, ‘Hey, you’re going to have to pitch ahead. You’re going to have to pound the zone to be a Friday guy or Saturday guy or Sunday guy. (It) wasn’t very good at all.”
Tech scored a run during the bot-tom of the second inning.
After senior designated hitter Scott LeJeune walked, freshman third baseman Alec Humphreys hit a fi elder’s choice. Humphreys then stole second base, before Poteete was hit by a pitch fi lling in fi rst base. Junior shortstop Jake Barrios then hit a single to right fi eld, driving Humphreys home.
As junior center fi elder Devon
Conley grounded out, he recorded an RBI. Friday marked his third straight game with an RBI.
Freshman right fielder Tyler Neslony walked loading the bases for sophomore second baseman Bryant Burleson. Burleson hit a single driv-ing in two runs, while freshman fi rst baseman Eric Gutierrez fl ied out to right fi eld ending the bottom of the second inning.
La Salle left-handed pitcher Ryan Donohue pitched a total of four innings, giving up four earned runs.
La Salle senior right-handed pitcher Pat Christensen came in for the eighth inning, earning the win for the Explorers in the 12th inning.
Tadlock said the Red Raiders acknowledged Christensen’s five hitless innings.
“I think you defi nitely tip your hat to Christensen,” he said. “He played awful well. And their team’s well coached. I mean, they played some good teams. They’ve only played fi ve games now, but they’ve played some good teams and are well coached and have been in every game they’ve played. You let teams hang around, that’s what happens.”
The Red Raiders play next on Tuesday and Wednesday in Tucscon, Ariz. for a two-game series against the defending national champions Arizona Wildcats.➤➤[email protected]

Softball sees mixed results in home openers
Coming off nine consecutive losses, the Texas Tech men’s basketball team was able to de-feat TCU — last place in Big 12 standings — in a 72-63 win.
To start the game, Tech opted to show its physicality down low, scoring 14 of its first 19 points in the paint.
“We thought we had an ad-vantage in the paint,” Tech junior forward Dejan Kravic said. “We just tried to keep them on the inside, tried being aggressive, tried making plays.”
TCU coach Trent Johnson had high praise for Tech after seeing his team lose to the Red Raiders for a second time this season.
“I think they are extremely talented,” he said. “They have got
a lot of parts. They are going to be a force to be reckoned with.”
Going into the game, Johnson said he knew Tech was going to attack from the post because of TCU’s lack of size and physicality, but there was little he could do to stop the Red Raiders when they scored 42 points in the paint.
Against TCU, Tech shot the ball at a high rate of success, mak-ing 62 percent of its shots from the field on 28 of 45 shooting.
In their last seven games, the Red Raiders have shot more than 45 percent once — a loss to Kansas State on Feb. 25.
After getting to the free-throw line multiple times, Tech was unable to capitalize, shoot-ing 60 percent from the line — worse than its f ield goal percentage.
In their previous two games, the Red Raiders have failed to
make more than 52 percent of their attempts from the free-throw line.
Jordan Tolbert led all scorers on the afternoon with 22 points, bringing the crowd to its feet on several occasions with acrobatic alley-oops and dunks.
“I had a pretty good game, but none of that would have been possible without my teammates,” the sophomore forward said. “My teammates made great passes.”
One of the teammates Tolbert mentioned was freshman guard Josh Gray, who led the team with six assists. Gray also limited his shot selection, shooting 4-6 from the field.
Including his most recent game against TCU, Gray is averaging five assists during his last five games.
“I thought Josh Gray did a great job of distributing the
ball,” Tech coach Chris Walker said.
After defeating TCU, Tech will hope to keep momentum going as it heads into Kansas to play the Jayhawks.
“The test is, can we duplicate that on Monday night in Law-rence?” Walker said.
Walker said he knows his team will enter Lawrence as an underdog, but that should not stop them from believing in themselves, bringing reference to his playing days at Villanova in which he was involved in a couple upsets himself.
Tech and Kansas will tip off at 6 p.m. Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse. The Kansas fan base is likely to be in full showing, as it will be the last home game of the year for the Jayhawks and on senior night.
Tech basketball snaps losing streak with 72-63 defeat of TCU
The Texas Tech softball team had three victories and two losses at the Texas Tech Invitational hosted Friday through Sunday.
Playing at Rocky Johnson Field for the fi rst time this season, the Red Raiders (13-7) split two-game series with Jackson State and McNeese State and defeated Northern Colo-rado in the only meeting between the two teams.
“We just have to be more consis-tent,” Tech coach Shanon Hays said of his team’s performance. “We’ve played some good games and given up four or fi ve runs in one inning, and you can’t do that. You have to stay focused, and when the pressure hits, you have to get tough.”
Tech started its play on Friday with an 18-0 victory against Jackson State in fi ve innings. The Red Raid-ers scored 16 runs in the second in-ning, including four from consecutive
home runs for seniors Sandy James and Adriana Perez.
During the second game Friday evening, Tech defeated McNeese state 3-2. A double from Shelby Johnson in the bottom of the fi fth inning gave the Red Raiders a 2-0 lead. Freshman Sydnie Tapia would add another run off a Nikki Dunlap single in the sixth.
With two outs in the top of the sev-enth, McNeese State scored off a Tech error. With the bases loaded, McNeese State shortstop Katie Roux was hit by a pitch to send a second run home. Tech pitcher Cara Custer responded with her third strikeout of the inning to secure the Red Raider victory.
“I felt great knowing that my of-fense is always going to be behind me,” Custer said of the victory, “and my de-fense obviously did great today backing me up because I had some oopsies, but other than that I felt good.”
Tech faced the same two opponents Saturday but with different results.
Jackson State scored two runs in the top of the sixth en route to a 4-2
win. Tech fell to McNeese State 1-0 in eight innings.
“It was a bad day,” Hays said after the defeats. “It came down to our of-fense. You score two runs in 14 innings and those two runs came in the fi rst of the 14, you know you don’t deserve to win, but it’s a shame because Brittany Talley and Cara Custer combined for a two-hitter and were pretty much dominating.”
Tech faced Northern Colorado on Sunday and found itself in another tight game.
Custer allowed one hit during the fi rst four innings of the game. Fresh-man catcher Lexie Elkins singled in the fourth scored two runs and junior infi elder Taylor Powell added a third to give Tech a 3-0 lead.
Northern Colorado scored four runs in the top of the fi fth, but Tech responded with two runs to take a 5-4 lead. Northern Colorado third basemen Nicole Hudson’s two-run homer in the sixth gave her team a 6-5 lead.
Johnson’s double put the winning
run for Tech on second with no outs. Elkins ended the game with a double and her fi fth RBI, giving the Red Raid-ers an 8-7 victory.
“I was pretty excited but it wasn’t just me,” Elkins said. “We had three batters in front of us that got the bases loaded, and then (Adriana Perez) got a hard shot and that kind of set the tone for me.”
Hays said despite the win, he wants his team to continue improving.
“It’s funny,” he said, “in this tour-nament every team played the other teams tough. It’s nice to get a win, but obviously you just want to be better. Instead of winning 8-7, you want to win 6-1. That’s what that game should have been.”
Hays said it was important for his team to get experience as they prepare to play in the Jeannine McHaney Me-morial Classic on Friday.
“These games are good for us to learn from our mistakes and our suc-cesses as well,” he said.
