    With a current student enrollment of 31,000, almost 40 percent of Texas Tech students are of an ethnicity other than white.

    The Tech Activities Board organized a string of events as part of Diversity Week, bringing recognition to the diversity of the Tech campus.

    Its important to enlighten students about how diverse the Texas Tech student body is, Natalie Butler, a sophomore marketing and management information systems major from Dallas, said.

    Butler is the outreach coordinator for the Tech Activities Board and said there have been events going on all week, with some of them being week-long events and others being day specific.

    Some of the week-long events include a diversity wall at the Student Union building for students to comment on various diversity topics, and a couple of fundraisers for Womens Protec-tive Services and U.S. troops overseas, according to the TAB website.

    We also have a map where you can pin where youre from or where your origin is, Butler said, Its a great way to see where other people come from.

    HSC School of Medicine honors project, alumni

    The Texas Tech Health Sciences Center will host an appreciation dinner and honor School of Medicine distinguished alumni, local physicians and others at 6:30 p.m. today at the Lubbock Memorial Center.

    Additionally, medical students will recognize community participants in the Barber Shop Project, according to an HSC news release.

    Students working on the project host health checks at barber shops and beauty salons, according to the release. The stu-dents raise awareness about body mass index and blood pleasure by providing information to patients.

    Clinical faculty members and physicians from Lubbock will be honored for their support of medical education and health care. More than 600 community-based physicians work as part-time lecturers, according to the release, or provide opportunities in their private practices to students, residents and [email protected]

    Paul McCartney, former member of The Beatles, will open the 2014 U.S. leg of his Out There tour June 14 in the United Spirit Arena, ac-cording to a news release from The Messina Group.

    McCartneys scheduled performance was an-nounced Wednesday at a press conference hosted in the Buddy Holly Center.

    Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson said McCart-ney reached out to the city of Lubbock because of Hollys influence on him.

    He reached out and said I want to play in the hometown of Buddy Holly, he said.

    Tickets for the event are priced at $59.50, $89.50, $165 and $250.

    American Express Card Members can pur-chase tickets at 10 a.m. April 21.

    Tickets for the general public will go on sale at 10 a.m. April 25. Tickets can be purchased at PaulMcCartney.com.

    Robertson said McCartneys concert in Lub-bock will be a historic event.

    It is truly a historic time when we have someone of Paul McCartneys stature reach out to Lubbock reach out to Texas Tech University and ask to come to Lubbock, he said.

    Tech President Duane Nellis said Holly and The Crickets influenced many musicians.

    Lubbocks own Buddy Holly and The Crickets have had a tremendous impact on so many in the world of music, he said. We cant forget the impact Buddy Holly and The Crickets had on four young lads from Liverpool, England.

    Kent Meredith, interim assistant vice president for auxiliary services and director of the United Spirit Arena, said the press conference was hosted at the Buddy Holly Center because of Hollys last-ing legacy in music.

    Part of that legacy is the impact and the influ-ence that Buddy had on many artists around the world including some of the top name artists ever, he said. That is why we are here this morning to make an announcement that one of those artists is going to be here.

    Govt. announces cutbacks to Pell Grant Program

    Need-based grants to low-income students allow these students to have access to education that they may not have had the opportunity to participate in previously.

    However, the federal government, according to an Associate Press article, has announced a new budget, passed Thursday, that cuts Pell Grants for low-income students.

    Ronald Gilbert, Texas Tech assistant professor of economics, said the budget cuts that include the cuts to Pell Grants are not cuts at all, but the shift of funds from expenditures like defense and education spending to other expenditures such as health care.

    JOSE ANTONIO VARGAS, an immigration activist and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, discusses immigration with a panel of different Texas Tech student orga-nizations Wednesday inside the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library.

    The director of the film Documented, Jose Antonio Vargas, met with Texas Tech student organizations Wednesday to discuss immigration in the United States.

    Boehner: No debt hike without concessions

    WASHINGTON (AP) The United States moved closer to the possibility of the first-ever default on the governments debt Sunday as Speaker John Boehner adamantly ruled out a House vote on a straightforward bill to boost the borrowing authority without concessions from President Barack Obama.

    With no resolution in sight, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew warned that Congress is playing with fire as he called on lawmak-ers to quickly pass legislation re-opening the government and a measure increasing the nations $16.7 trillion debt limit.

    The government shutdown precipitated by the budget brinkmanship entered its sixth day with hundreds of thousands of federal employees furloughed, national parks closed and an array of government services on hold.

    Storm system Karen dissipates off Gulf Coast

    LAFITTE, La. (AP) After days of lumbering toward the Gulf Coast, the storm system Karen dissipated Sunday as storm preparations in the region were called off or scaled back.

    As tides began to recede along coastal Louisiana, crews worked to pick up sand-bags and some fishermen took to the water. In Lafitte, the tide had water levels along Bayou Barataria lapping at the edges of piers and sections of the main roadway into the small fishing village prone to flooding.

    Were very lucky, fisherman Ken LeBeau said. He added that he was anxious to get out shrimping Sunday while the tide is up, shrimp may be farther inland; fisherman dont have to venture as far out to catch them.

    The community has been swamped with flooding by several storms since Hur-ricane Katrina in 2005. Many are just re-covering from Hurricane Isaac last summer.

    Democrats quiz students about politics

    The Texas Tech Student Democrats interviewed students about their political knowledge for their YouTube page at noon Friday at the Free Speech Area.

    Daniela Parraga, a senior journalism major from San Antonio, had a microphone in hand as she stopped students and asked them political questions.

    The member of Tech Student Democrats asked students if they knew what the Afford-able Care Act better known as Obam-acare was, who the U.S. vice president is, whether they knew what Miley Cyrus was famous for, and if they could identify what show Snooki of Jersey Shore was from.

    Raul Cevallos, vice president of Tech Student Democrats and junior management information systems major from Dallas, said the responses from students would go on a YouTube page to show student knowledge of political and popular culture news.

    Blind student overcomes social stigmas, campus challenges

    Students who are visually impaired face unique problems when it comes to just getting to class, using textbooks and facing assumptions of what they can and cant do.

    Mathematics graduate student Kyle Steinle, from Oak Harbor, Wash., has been blind for nearly 12 years after a freak ac-cident, he said. His brother was showing him a .22-caliber pistol he had stolen from his grandfather when the gun discharged, hitting Steinle from five feet away in his right eye immediately causing blindness in his right eye.

    The bullet shattered upon impact and hit his optic nerve in his left eye, which then caused him to become totally blind.

    The doctors did not expect him to live

    and put him in a medically induced coma for a week, he said. He somehow came out of it, and from that point on, doctors expected him to remain in the hospital for a year. However, Steinle left after six weeks.

    Accompanying Steinle is his dog Jean-nette, who is a mix of a Lab and Golden Retriever. She has been with him for about six years and was bred by Seeing Eye in Morristown, N.J.

    Tanya Washington, the location and rehabilitation counselor for the Texas De-partment of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services in the Division for Blind Services, is one of the people who help blind students all the way from high school to when they begin looking for a job.

    We figure out what services they need as far as going to school, Washington said.

    According to the National Federation of

    the Blind, there are approximately 656,100 blind people in the U.S. from the ages of 4-20. There are more than 900,000 people who are listed as being visually impaired who have received some college educa-tion. Overall, Texas is listed as the second highest state for visual impairments with 615,800 people.

    For Steinle, he hasnt had any issues with getting around campus in a safe and timely manner.

    Navigating around is not too much of a problem, he said.

    People around campus are generally helpful and friendly to those who are visually impaired, he said.

    The problem visually impaired students face is not so much walking around campus, but riding around it.

    Red Raider football team plays villain to Jayhawks homecoming game

    An 11 a.m. start time meant No. 20 Texas Tech (5-0, 2-0) would need to focus on bringing early energy on the road in front of Kansas (2-2, 0-1) homecoming crowd in Lawrence, Kan.

    The Jayhawks had the early com-ponents for an upset against the Red Raiders. An early kickoff coupled with a quick 10-0 lead appeared as if Kansas was going to test Tech.

    After a missed 32-yard field goal from junior kicker Ryan Bustin, the Red Raiders went on to score points in their next seven consecutive drives and emerged victorious in a 54-16 rout.

    Senior receiver Eric Ward said the early start might have played a factor in Techs lack of offensive production in the opening quarter.

    I mean sometimes it just takes a while to get started because youre just waking up, he said. I mean we had a early wake-up call, but just getting started is the hardest part, but when we get in a groove and get things going then were on a roll.

    Freshman quarterback Baker May-field completed 33 of his 51 pass at-tempts for 368 yards and one intercep-tion. Mayfield also rushed for 23 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown to give Tech its first lead of the afternoon.

    The Red Raiders proved most ef-ficient in the second quarter, scoring on all four of their drives and allowing the Jayhawks zero points or first downs.

    A year ago, the Jayhawks rushed for 390 yards during the overtime loss they suffered in Lubbock, and senior defensive linebacker Kerry Hyder said the previous success was a focal point

    for Techs defense entering Saturday.We heard 390 all week and we made

    it a point to come in here and stop the run, he said.

    The Jayhawks rushed for 53 total yards on 37 carries. Sophomore running back Darrian Miller and senior running back James Sims combined for 95 rush-ing yards on 21 carries.

    Although the Red Raiders were test-ed early, the final result was a positive statement to the fact this Tech defense has redesigned itself in the past year, se-nior defensive lineman Will Smith said.

    Yeah they were pretty excited com-ing out, he said. Its their homecom-ing, its an early morning game, so yeah, once everything settled down and we settled down and communicated things went very smooth.

    It feels great. That was one of the things we were harping on, like I mean

    this is not the same defense as last year so lets let that be known pretty early and I feel like we did a good job with that.

    Tech rushed for 179 yards and four touchdowns on 43 carries. Several botched snaps were the source of the diminished total rushing stats for the Red Raiders.

    Sophomore running back DeAndre Washington said the success on the ground stemmed from making a con-tinuous effort to establish the run.

    I think we got things going, he said. We were kind of slow in the first half, but we was able to get some things going in the second half and kind of tempo them and you could kind of see it kind of wear down on them towards the second half of the game.

    KYLE STEINLE, A mathematics graduate student from Oak Harbor, Wash., takes his seeing eye dog, Jeanette, to help guide him through classes and daily life. Steinle lost his vision in 2002 after being shot in the face with a .22-caliber pistol.

    Skinner: Harry Potter fans are crazy,

    on the loose. OPINIONS, Pg. 4

    Four men affiliated with Texas Tech are making their dreams come true by releasing their bands, Grady Spencer and the Griswulds, first album, Sunday Ships, on July 27.

    Grady Spencer, the lead vocalist and a Tech alumnus, said after he graduated from Tech he moved to Austin to try and make it there, but found more success putting a band together in Lubbock with people who had the same love of music as he did.

    The members of the band met by everything from a Craigslist add to a song writing competition at a

    Band with Tech roots makes dreams come trueBy KASSIDY KETRON

    Staff Writerlocal bar, he said.

    I always just kind of dreamed of putting together a band where everybody just really loved music and they werent in it for, you know, the bad stuff that people get into bands for, he said, you know, these people just enjoy playing good music. When me and David (McDonald) started playing together I just started building on people who just enjoy playing really good music, and I think to-gether weve built this kind of big sound that Lubbock hasnt heard in a while.

    The bands album, Spencer said, has a rootsy sound, with a range of Texas country, old country, blues and soul sounds.

    The group was able to finish the album in just a few sessions, he said.

    Altogether, it was done in about four or five sessions so, I mean, for it to go that quickly, one, says a lot for how tight-knit the band has come together and also just when youre having fun it goes really easy.

    McDonald, the drum player and a Tech alumnus, said when he saw Spencers add on Craigslist, he was not particularly looking for another band to join, but was impressed with Spencers sound and song writing.

    Like Spencer, McDonald said, he too, tried to make it with his punk band in Austin and Califor-nia, but it didnt work out.

    Im at a point now where its like, I dont have to play music and its really free because I enjoy it and I get to play with people like Grady and Geoff, he said, you know, I get to play in this band and its fun. So, Im not worried about anything else and when you get to that point then thats when it seems like, to me, you get a lot more creative and things open up.

    Geoff Lisch, bass guitarist and an industrial engineering graduate student at Tech from Austin, said the band is different from oth-ers because theres no computer magic, what people hear on the album is what they sound like.

    ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) This is what freedom looks like for Casey An-thony: $537.68 from her jail account, no job, estranged parents, a criminal record, lawsuits pending against her and the scorn of multitudes who think she got away with murder.

    She quickly gave reporters the slip after walking out of jail Sunday, but whatever life she manages to build for herself will be lived under a media microscope and the shadow of count-less threats.

    Right now we are just moving forward and trying to start putting the pieces back together for Caseys life, her attorney, Jose Baez, told Geraldo

    Rivera by phone on Fox News Chan-nel late Sunday.

    Experts who have helped other notorious defendants through rough times say she will have opportunities as well, but it wont be easy for the 25-year-old, who was found not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, but convicted of lying to investigators.

    With her hair in a bun, Casey Anthony walked out the front door of an Orlando-area jail shortly after midnight, wearing a pink T-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers, and escorted by sheriff s deputies holding semi-automatic rifles. Protesters shouted

    baby killer and you suck as she climbed into an SUV.

    The vehicle sped away and darted into a parking garage at a building where one of her attorneys has offices. Where she went next is unknown.

    Soon after her release, there was police activity at Orlando Executive Airport as two vehicles pulled up to a twin-engine private jet bound for Columbus, Ohio, but no one saw Anthony get out and onto the plane. Ohio is the home state of Anthonys parents, but an official at the Columbus airport said the aircraft was only carrying golfers back from a Florida vacation.

    Members of the Texas Tech meat-judging team were awarded the title of world champions and received first place honors at the Australian Intercollegiate Meat Judging Contest in Armidale, New South Wales, on July 9.

    Mark Miller, the teams coach, said the team was invited to Austra-lia in December, out of an estimated 30 U.S. teams, to compete against 11 Australian teams and one national team from Japan. He said it was an honor to be selected as the nations only meat-judging contestants.

    Australia was awesome and we were treated very well, he said. The people in Australia rolled out the red carpet and they took excellent care of us. They welcomed us with open arms and taught us everything we needed to be successful while we were over there.

    The team ranked first in beef, pork and lamb grading, Miller said,

    and second in retail cut identi-fication. He said the team was very dedicated to preparing for the competition.

    To tell you the truth, were doing the same things weve al-ways done, he said, I just think weve been very fortunate. We work hard, we prepare well, and I think weve been very blessed in every way. We also have great students who have a great work ethic.

    Mandy-Jo Laurent, a junior animal science-production major from Nacogdoches said the op-portunity to compete in Australia was an incredible experience.

    (Its) surreal, she said. Its amazing to have the opportunity to say that you are a world cham-pion. And we are the first team in Tech meat-judging history to be able to say that. It was great to know that all of our hard work and early mornings paid off.
