Eleven days after Pat Knight coached his last game from the Texas Tech bench, Tech an-nounced a new, somewhat familiar, face to prowl the sideline: former Kentucky and Texas A&M coach Billy Gillispie.

Gillispie was named the 14th coach in Red Raider basketball his-tory on Sunday in a statement released by Tech.

The release states Tech and Gillispie agreed on a fi ve-year contract. The deal marks the fi rst head-coaching hire for Tech’s new athletic direc-tor, Kirby Hocutt, during his Red Raider tenure.

Everything started at a band practice. While in high school, newly elected Student Govern-ment Association president Tyler Patton took a tour of the Texas

Tech campus. When choosing a college, most

of Patton’s options had a good music program, and he did not feel strongly pulled toward any particular one.

Gillispie Current budget cuts in school dis-

tricts across Texas are worrying some of the students in the Texas Tech College of Education.

Abby Probst, a senior early child-hood development major from Brady, said the current job situation is dis-couraging for graduating seniors who plan to be teachers.

“I’m a little scared and nervous about searching for a job when I gradu-ate,” Probst said. “Everywhere I look, there seems to be an uncertainty that there will be jobs available for poten-tial teachers who are graduating.”

The projected budget cuts and job layoffs are an issue for all teachers to worry about, not just graduating seniors, she said.

Texas Tech Enrollment Manage-ment and Student Affairs teamed up with The Price Group, a local advertising agency, and took home five ADDY awards at the 2011 Lubbock ADDY awards ceremony.

The ADDY awards are a prod-uct of the American Advertising Federation to give agencies the opportunity to have their work recognized at a local and possibly district or national level.

James Hodgins, director of social media at The Price Group, said the awards started out locally with the Lubbock Advertising Federation, and those who receive golden AD-DYs move on to district.

In their case, Hodgins said Lub-

Tech takes home 5 ADDY awards

“It’s cheesy, I know,” the senior public relations major said, “but hear-ing Goin’ Band warm up to ‘Salvation is Created’ absolutely blew me away, sent chills up my spine.”

After hearing the band practice, Patton, who plays trombone in Goin’ Band, said he knew Tech was exactly where he wanted to go. Apart from band, Patton said he loves most things about the school, especially its small-town atmosphere.

Patton said he grew up in Graham, a town of about 9,000. He still keeps in constant contact with his parents and said they have supported him in everything he does.

“I’ve had a great childhood, a great experience growing up,” he said, “and that’s all because my parents are incred-ible human beings.”

Patton said he enjoys being able to identify with other students from a similar background — students from small towns who are getting into Tech.

“Part of the reason it’s so friendly around here is because I can talk to people from small towns,” he said. “That’s one of the things that has endeared Tech to me; I really haven’t felt like I’ve lost that feeling of close friends, close-knit community.”

This “community” includes people from other senators to Chancellor Kent Hance, Patton said.

“I think what’s unique about Texas Tech, is we have an administration who is not only willing to work for students,” he said, “but they are absolutely passionate about students.”

As president, Patton said he hopes to keep the passion for students alive by maintaining important services and programs, despite budget cuts. One of his missions has been to show state lawmakers how vital Tech is to Texas and how it is an investment in the future of the state.

One of these areas is transportation. Patton cited the budget as allowing $900,000, and only $175,000 is provided by the apartment complexes the buses service. He said the transportation fee students must pay would be better spent on SafeRide, bettering transportation or just adding more buses to keep up with rising enrollment rates.

Another of Patton’s projects is the upcoming Tech Lubbock Community Day, which he said he would like to see ex-pand into more community service from the university, including using food from Hospitality Services to feed those in Lub-bock who might otherwise go without.

“Homelessness is the issue of our time as students here at Tech,” he said.

Seeing the tent city and the numbers of homeless rise has been completely astonishing, and he said it was almost a

responsibility for Tech to give back and for SGA to show it cares, since the university is such a large part of the community.

He also aims to have students more involved with SGA by utilizing My-Senate — something former SGA internal vice president Jenny Myants started — more often, having meetings between representatives of all campus organizations, and holding senators and members more accountable for their responsibilities.

“We’ve got a lot of serious challenges that face us,” Patton said, “and I think the student government should be will-ing to meet those challenges head on and not blink.”

Patton said he was willing to help senators by moving meeting days and generally trying to get them to be more engaged and to be dedicated to the jobs they were elected to do.

This dedication is what helped Pat-ton get where he is today, he said. As a member of Kappa Kappa Psi, the band service fraternity, as well as Goin’ Band and SGA, Patton said he rarely gets a free minute. When he does it is usually spent thinking about one of the organizations, doing homework, calling his parents or maybe, on very rare occasions, watching “The Daily Show.”

Adding a presidential campaign to that mix was no easy task. Associate director of bands Duane Hill said he knew Patton would be able to handle it.

After being a senator for the College of Mass Communications, Patton was elected external vice president for the 2010-11 year.

“I told him (running for president) was one of the best decisions he could possibly make,” Hill said. “He’s so well-rounded, and he’s super passionate.”

He was also able to keep calm in all of the ups and downs of the race; Hill said he never saw Patton panicked, but instead he was always focused — no matter how busy he was.

Patton’s roommate, Greg Duck, a junior chemistry major from Abilene, ran for a senator position. He said emotions ran high during the campaign but the two were always a team. In fact, Duck said 24 out of 27 of the students running on Patton’s “team” were elected.

“We were all there for each other,” he said. “It was a really good moment (when we got the results); it was a verifi cation of our hard work.”

Duck said the team would be there for students as well — SGA was already off to a successful year with so many like-minded members who have the best interests of the students in mind.

“(Patton) is so well-informed about all walks of life,” Hill said of Patton’s knowl-edge of the sports world, the academic world and the like on campus. “He has an opinion on everything, but he will always listen to others.” ➤➤hdavis@dailytoreador.com

bock is part of the district composed of Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Golden ADDY award recipients at the district level will then move on to the national level.

“We were pretty thrilled about winning these awards,” he said. “It was fun just working on the projects themselves and then actually being able to submit them for awards, and then getting recognized by some pretty big judges felt pretty good.”

The ad agency, Hodgins said, has worked with Tech’s Enrollment Management and Student Affairs for three consecutive years now but has worked with Tech on and off for more than 20 years.

Hodgins said they received a gold-en ADDY for a video in the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, the annual report and for a

postal series with student fi nancial aid. They received two silver ADDYs

for the Alcohol Edu campaign for Student Health Services and a mixed-media campaign for Red Raider Orien-tation for the Center for Student Life.

Michael Harrington, associate di-rector for the Center for Student Life, said when they were searching for ad agencies around Lubbock, The Price Group presented the division with a marketing plan that won them over.

The agency, he said, took the mes-sage and contents the Center for Stu-dent Life had in mind for Red Raider Orientation and made it appealing to the targeted audience.

“It defi nitely made us proud that we were involved in good design, and that was what we were going for when we had The Price Group work on our marketing,” he said. “We wanted some-

thing that was new and different from what other universities put out, so it was defi nitely a proud moment for us.”

Amy Punchard, vice president and director of public relations for The Price Group, said working with Tech was a fun process creatively and personally for the agency because a majority of the employees are Tech alumni.

The most rewarding aspect of working with Tech, Punchard said, was helping each division meet their goals and communicate the messages they tried to send.

“They’ve let us be as creative as we want to and think outside the box,” she said. “They’ve allowed us to do research, which has helped, and I think that’s what has helped to make sure that our messages have all been on target.”➤➤kketron@dailytoreador.com

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Musician Wyclef Jean said Sunday that a bullet grazed his hand as he stepped out of a car to make a tele-phone call, but said he was only slightly injured.

Jean, who has been in Haiti helping the presidential campaign of his friend and fellow musician Michel “Sweet Micky” Martelly, said the bullet grazed him late Saturday night as he stepped out of his car in the Delmas section of the capital, Port-au-Prince, to make a call on his cellphone.

“The way I can explain it is that the bullet grazed me in my right hand,” Jean told The Associated Press in a tele-phone interview. “I heard blow, blow, blow, and I just looked at my hand.”

Wyclef says bullet grazed hand in Haiti’s capital Jean, who was with a driver and

the Haitian hip-hop singer FanFan at the time, said he didn’t know who fi red the shots, or whether they were directed at him.

He said he got out of the car to have a private conversation that FanFan would not overhear. He heard the shots and looked down to see blood on his shirt and sneakers.

The Haitian-American performer said he was treated at a local hospital and released. Jean said he took antibi-otics and recovered at an “undisclosed location” before going out to vote in Sunday’s presidential election.

Jean did not say what hospital treated him. Later, Garry Andre, who handles security for the musician, said

it was City Med, a private clinic, in Pet-ionville. A pharmacist at the facility’s entrance said she saw Jean pass through overnight and later leave.

Haitian police chief Mario Andre-sol told reporters that he wasn’t sure what happened during the shooting and that Jean didn’t talk to police.

“We can’t tell you if he was injured by a bullet or something else,” Andresol said. “He will have to answer to police no matter what.”

Later, Jean was asked by reporters to comment on rumors that he had been injured by broken glass, not a bullet. “This is Haiti; it’s a city of rumors,” he said as he went to vote in the Delmas section of Port-au-Prince. “There’s an-other one with me and Busta Rhymes in the car.”

A new elastic bandage covered a portion of Jean’s right hand, which he used to cast his ballot. Sitting in the back of a silver Toyota Prado SUV, he showed the AP his ink-stained thumb on his bandaged hand as evidence that he voted.

Jean, a native of Haiti who rocketed to fame as a member of the hip-hop trio The Fugees, came to Haiti to support Martelly, who faces university admin-istrator and former fi rst lady Mirlande Manigat.

Jean had initially sought to be a candidate in the race but Haiti’s electoral council disqualified him from the ballot because he didn’t meet residency requirements. He has actively campaigned for Martelly, most recently joining him in a concert Thursday in downtown Port-au-Prince that drew thousands of spectators.

Toga parties are considered a college staple. For some, they are an excuse to dress ridiculously and get wasted, but for Texas Tech’s Classical Society, they are more of an opportunity for learning — and dressing up, of course.

The Classical Society is an organi-zation that branches off of the classics major that focuses on the ancient Greek and Roman past.

“It’s nerdy, but fun,” said Heather Darnell, a senior majoring in classics and music from Corpus Christi.

Meeting at 5 p.m. Wednesdays in the Brazos Room of the Student Union Building, the group brings in speakers to talk about topics in the ancient world, President Nathan Wolcott said. Lectures range from Aristotle to Ovid and are frequently from professors within the Department of Classical and Modern Languages and Literatures on campus.

It is in this department most mem-bers are recruited, Darnell said.

Many students take Latin as a for-eign language, said Wolcott, a senior classics major from Lubbock, and then realize they are only a few classes away from a minor in classics, and they get to take classes like mythology and ancient technology.

Students who are interested in the

Classical Society studies ancients, plans chariot race

program often add it as a second major, he said. The organization takes the major one step further.

“Studying the classics is important,” said senior Benjamin McWilliams, a classics and communication studies major from Austin. “We advertise that classics is the foundation of the Ameri-can system and society.”

This prevalence to the modern day is one reason Wolcott said anyone of any major is invited to join the orga-nization — everyone is infl uenced by Greek and Roman history on a daily basis.

“You can’t open your MacBook without being connected to Archime-des in some way,” he said. “It’s important to know whose shoulders we stand on.”

The subject is also in pop culture, he said, with movies like “300” or “Troy” drawing people to the genre and time period.

The group isn’t just about learning, though. Wolcott said they also put their studies into action with events like their Saturnalia Festival and annual chariot race.

Saturnalia is a traditional Roman festival celebrating the god Saturn, Darnell said, and is celebrated around Christmastime or the winter solstice.

“It’s a celebration of Saturn; it was a big festival with lots of feasting,” Wolcott said. “We try to follow up on those traditions, mainly the feasting.”

The chariot race is the group’s big-gest event. Wolcott said he came up with the idea, and everyone supported it wholeheartedly.

“I just said the words ‘chariot race,’ and everyone immediately started col-laborating,” he said.

Last year’s event was a success, he said, and defi nitely worth all the paperwork it takes to put on an event

considered a “risk.”Entrants, in teams, build a chariot,

which can be anything from a shopping cart to a 2-by-4 board with wheels, Wol-cott said, and then team members must pull the chariot, containing another team member, around a track.

Looking forward to this year’s race in April, Wolcott said it already has more entrants than last year’s and is sure to be better organized and prepared for. He said the group awards prizes like gift cards, along with more historically accurate items like a laurel crown or olive oil.

The chariot race will take place at 4 p.m. April 16 and is open to all. Teams must be three people with a man-made and man-powered “chariot” and must register before April 1. For more information and to register, contact Wolcott at nathan.wolcott@ttu.edu.

BERLIN (AP) — Hundreds of fans of Knut the polar bear fl ocked to his zoo enclosure Sunday to mourn the sudden death of the celebrity who burst into the limelight as a cud-dly, fl uffy cub hand-fed by his keeper.

The beloved four-year-old died Saturday afternoon in front of hun-dreds of visitors, taking keepers, animal experts and fans by surprise. The life expectancy of polar bear in the wild is between 15 and 20 years, but animals in captivity normally live even longer because they are not ex-posed to hunger, thirst or infections.

“I can’t comprehend what hap-pened there. He was happy before, there were no signs of anything — it’s so shocking,” said fan Eveline Litowski, who said she had come to the zoo to fi nd out more about Knut’s early death.

Litowski was among those who crowded around Knut’s empty com-pound Sunday, laying down red roses and white stuffed polar bears, light-ing candles or putting up pictures of Knut with personal messages for him. Many children had drawn pictures of Knut or written farewell poems for their beloved bear.

Knut was rejected by his mother at birth, along with his twin brother, who only survived a couple of days. He attracted attention when his main caregiver, Thomas Doerfl ein, camped out at the zoo to give the button-eyed cub his bottle every two hours, and went on to appear on magazine covers, in a fi lm and on mountains of merchandise.

Fans mourn Knut’s death at Berlin zoo

A chief counsel appointed by George W. Bush, Vickie Sutton has represented Texas Tech in a range of ways, especially with her work in law and environmental science.

“I’ve been able to benefit a lot from the experience of working with her because she has such an interesting, extraordinary background,” said Jeff Mustin, a doctoral law student. “She really brings a depth to every conversation because she is so interdisciplinary.”

Sutton said she has always admired professors who were able to bring field experience to their work, which was significant in her decision to leave Tech.

The professor took a leave of absence from 2005 to 2007 to serve as chief counsel for the Re-search and Innovative Technol-ogy Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation as a George W. Bush appointee. Before teaching at Tech, she had served in the George H.W. Bush administration as assistant direc-tor in the White House Science Office and the U.S. Environmen-tal Protection Agency.

Sutton originally worked as a scientist with a Ph.D. in environ-mental science but soon became active in law, she said.

“It was a natural progression for me to go to law school, to complete that circle,” Sutton said. “I wanted to do that, too, because this allowed me to teach and publish in that area.”

Sutton has also developed a dual-degree program, which allows students to major in en-vi ronmenta l toxicology and law, biotechnology and law, and plant and soil science in law, as well as earn a master’s degree in engineering and law.

For Tech students who don’t have a science background and would not be interested in get-ting a graduate degree, Sutton developed the law and science certificate program.

“Law students who would like to know more about the interface of law and science can get a certificate in any area of envi-ronmental law, bio-defense law,

Professor contributes to environmental law

intellectual p r o p e r t y l aw, wate r law or en-e r g y l a w, ” Sutton said.

S u t t o n , who enjoys combin ing law, science and engineering, developed the Center for Bio-defense, Law and Public Policy at Tech.

“(The center) focuses on … science in the laboratory, bio-security, bio-safety, regulations in the laboratory,” said Sutton, now director of the center.

The anthrax attacks in 2001 acted as a catalyst for the start of the center.

“The center was created after a task force at Texas Tech was appointed to examine what the university was doing, and the center really was in re-sponse to a need for exploring this area,” Sutton said.

Tech professor of law Brie Sherwin, assistant director of the Center for Biodefense, Law and Public Policy, said Sutton is a pioneer in pursu-ing interdisciplinary research and developing opportunities for students.

“She is also very supportive of students wishing to incor-porate scientific knowledge into their law school experi-ence, whether it be through the dual-degree programs in law and/or the Law and Sci-ence Certificate Program (for non-science majors),” said Sherwin, a former student of Sutton’s.

Sutton said she grew up in western North Carolina and grew up surrounded by forest and the Appalachian Moun-tains, which contributed to her appreciation of the envi-ronment.

“My mom’s side of the fam-ily is Native American, so my grandfather was very much a part of the environment,” Sutton said. “(He showed me plants) and all these interest-ing things that I never would have learned that he showed me strolling through the for-est.” ➤➤rrodriguez@dailytoreador.com

Few words boil the blood of the Republican Party now-adays like hearing someone

recite the part of the Constitution regarding the general welfare. This week, however, the phrase was, “This is NPR News.”

This past week, while the major-ity of the young population was, like me, sitting in a room somewhere going through a “The West Wing” marathon, the Grand Old Party went out and put a massive dent in the budget for National Public Radio.

By massive dent, of course, I don’t actually mean saving money in the federal budget by withholding funds to NPR but by symbolically passing a bill in the House that will almost certainly look good on fl iers.

For those two poor souls who were doing something indie, like going to the beach, on Thursday, March 17, the House of Representa-tives passed House Resolution 1076, which prohibits federal funding for NPR.

The way this resolution works is the Corporation for Public Broad-casting, the government corpora-

You have probably heard over and over about how texting is “bad” for the

closeness of one’s relationships with friends, family and especially those of a romantic nature. However, I submit that those who complain are usually as guilty as the rest of us.

I can’t even begin to tell you how often I hear people who rarely put down their phones complain. People should talk in person more or at the very least make a phone call for emotionally heavy encounters such as break-ups. As our society has progressed as deep as it has into the age of mobile phones, the defi ni-tion of lazy has had a total overhaul, and the defi nition of “making an effort” is pretty much in the toilet.

In the l a s t century, p l a n s were still made over the phone and people still agreed to meet here or there. The difference now is the fact that cell phones allow people to back out of obligations or previous engagements even up to the very last second.

I even fi nd instances within my own life where I will have already arrived at a destination, and even when whoever I am supposed to be meeting is already late, I get a text saying they can’t make it. Did they

We have observed the ongo-ing tragedy in Japan with the utmost concern. Not only have the Japanese just gone through both the worst earthquake in their nation’s history and a massive and deadly tsunami, but they are now also in the midst of the worst nuclear crisis since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.

We are alarmed by the fact that Japanese authorities seem to be understating the damage to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station and the many dangers that it poses.

Tokyo Electric and the Japa-nese Government have claimed that there is still enough water in the pool at Reactor 4 to hold spent fuel rods and keep them cool. However, the chairman of

I love working for the Col-legian, but the single complaint that I have about working for a newspaper is that it forces me to follow the news.

Before I started working here, I never watched the news because it’s depressing. Now, I watch tensely a s p r o t e s t -e r s take to t h e s t r e e t s in Egypt , I gr imly read reports about the cleanup of the floods in Australia and dozens of other goings-o n a r o u n d the world.

I have met people from E g y p t a n d A u s t r a l i a , and it makes my heart feel heavy when I hear of disasters in far away places like that, but it’s different when you know somebody from there, I mean really know them.

It’s different, for example, when I read about the casual-ties of American soldiers in the Middle East because I have friends who are soldiers. It’s different whenever something happens in Germany because I have family there.

For this reason, when I heard about the earthquake and tsu-nami in Japan, my heart stopped and I immediately sent a text message to Yosuke Michishita, one of my line artists, hoping his family was OK. Fortunately, they are, but the question on my mind at the time still haunts me: If they’re not, what do I say to him?

I can’t fathom what an earth-quake or a tsunami must be like. The videos on the news and online don’t do them any justice. I have seen tornadoes here in Kansas. I was living in Ft. Stewart, Georgia, when hurricane Hugo crept up to the East Coast in 1989 and nobody was sure if it would hit us or swing northward and hit the Carolinas, instead.

tion that doles out public broadcast-ing money, would be restricted from giving NPR the money they receive.

Michigan Republican Justin Amash accidentally told the truth to FOX News, however, saying the CPB wouldn’t actually have a smaller budget, but rather be given the same amount of money to pass out to its other public broadcasters, like PBS.

All this would occur if the leg-islation passes the Senate, which it won’t. But, for the sake of argument, let’s assume it does.

The real reason they want NPR gone is because of its perceived lib-eral bias. They’re wrong, but I can see why the party that still believes President Obama is a socialist could believe NPR is left of center. It’s easy to rebut, though.

If you wanted to see the best

coverage of the unfounded and over-blown attack on NPR by criminal James O’Keefe, the best place to go was NPR. The coverage was so down the middle it made me want to go to NPR’s Washington headquarters and yell at them to stand up for themselves.

An in-depth study prepared by the Station Resource Group showed 171 million Americans each month watch PBS, listen to NPR or visit a pub-lic broadcasters website. Mathematically, that’s more than 55 percent of Americans who utilize public broad-casting in some way each month.

Each of these out-lets has a private sector competitor, be it CNN, Nickelodeon or FOX News Radio. Yet, each month, 171 million people choose to utilize a public broadcast-ing resource.

If you ever listen to NPR news programming during the workdays on local

affi liate (and Texas Tech-owned) KOHM 89.1 FM, then compare that to what you hear on every other radio station in the Lubbock area, there are a few reasons why 171 million people a month utilize public broadcasting.

First, there isn’t a disembodied voice coming out of a speaker telling

me what is wrong with society for two hours. While

FOX’s slogan is, “We report, you decide,” at NPR, it comes off more like their guiding principle.

NPR guests and callers may call for action, but it would be ex-

tremely rare for an NPR journalist or

host to jump out and demand President Obama

show his birth certificate for the eleventy-billionth time.

This ties in with some-thing else you notice —

NPR’s flagship programs, “All Things Considered” and

“Morning Edition,” are the audio versions of a news program, not a talk show. The programs take the time to explain what exactly is going on in Libya, from both the rebels’ side and the Gadaffi side. The producers fi nd a nuclear ex-pert to talk about the issues Japan’s nuclear power plants face, rather than speculating on when the fi sh in the nearby ocean will rise up and eat the city of Tokyo.

A big reason they can do this is because every hour the network has all but a few minutes to tell the story. Private broadcasters have at most 40 minutes, due to the commercials.

Congressman Randy Neuge-bauer, who embarrasses Lubbock on a near-daily basis, told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal that “a large ma-jority of the funding for these public broadcasting stations also comes from the viewers and listeners who support the stations, which is why I believe these programs can survive without government support.”

What Neugebauer is proposing, aside from the suggestion that the thousands who are employed by NPR should go door to door collect-

ing money like the school system, is we privatize public broadcasting. The congressman would like to see Coca-Cola ads in between segments, thus shortening the time PBS or NPR has to tell the story.

Not to mention the inevitable pressure corporate sponsorships have on a newsroom. No public broadcaster I can think of in the free world (BBC, CBC, ABC Australia) does this because of the aforemen-tioned reasons.

Having a well-funded public broadcasting system is vital in a free society. This service provides every citizen with a source of news that they own and hold accountable. The United States doesn’t have a well-funded public broadcasting system, but rather a barely-funded one.

Cutting more funding from NPR and PBS would certainly score po-litical points for the GOP. But it will make the United States far worse off as a whole.

US needs well-funded public broadcasting

Cellular dependence has gone too far

not realize they were unavailable for 7 p.m. plans until 7:30 p.m.?

Just because cell phones give us the ability to back out and change the layout of how we spend our time doesn’t give us the right to jerk other people’s days around in a similar fashion.

Now, that is not to say cell phones don’t have their

obvious upsides. For example, the ability to back out at the last second goes hand in hand

w i t h the ability to let o n e ’ s friends know they will be late even if they real-ize that at the last minute, ironically enough.

Also, cell technology has re-defi ned the word “emergency” in our society. Situations like running out of gas or throwing a tire in the middle of nowhere (West Texas, for example) are still inconvenient, but now AAA is only a speed dial away. One can call 911 from just about anywhere, and the response time

of those who can help is similarly prompt.

I should also mention the ease of staying connected with those in one’s life who are far away.

Another grievance I have with cell phone use is the damage to one’s focus that constant availability brings. Yes, you can turn off your phone, but the mindset that has been beat into our heads causes us to be paranoid. “What if something horrible happens while it’s off?” Even now, my cell phone is vibrating, and I had to wait a couple of minutes to regain my train of thought after it derailed from the writing of the column you are reading right now.

Truthfully, I wasn’t very old in the days when plans were set in stone after one left the house and there wasn’t always a vibrating paper-weight in one’s pocket. Nonetheless, I can certainly appreciate the idea of “unplugging” for more than just a few hours. Some texting addicts I know haven’t truthfully been alone since they got their fi rst data plan.

There is one other significant problem, I think, with cell phones in general. That problem is the level at which one can remain detached from an emotional situation in which they owe the other party more of their heart and mind.

It is a hell of a lot easier to break up over text than it is even over a phone call, and that isn’t the only

scenario to which I am referring. It is easier to apologize, be sympathetic without really caring, and most destructively, fi ght over a text that it is face to face or over the phone.

The audibility of another per-son’s voice is an essential emotional anchor to any situation, and texting has allowed us to opt out of that attribute of many close encounters and the hearts and minds of other human beings that we supposedly care about.

In many ways, cell phone use is essential to a society that has adjusted to their constant presence, but I would urge people like you and me to be careful where we draw the line in our use of cellular conve-nience. It can not only cheapen our conversations but also cheat us out of the deeper parts of a relationship that can be brought to the surface through saying what needs to be said in our own voice.

So I say man up (or woman up) and deal with others in a way that makes you appear to truly care and I think we will all fi nd a level of respect for ourselves and others that we seem to have forgotten for the last few years in a lot of ways. Face to face, people, when at all possible.

the United States Nuclear Regu-latory Commission has claimed that this is not the case and that the fuel rods are releasing radia-tion into the atmosphere.

Considering a 2005 report from the National Academies of Science that any level of radiation, however small, can cause cancer, this is especially alarming.

Even worse, another U.S. of-ficial has claimed that if drastic action is not taken in the next 24 to 48 hours, Japan will have a situation that will be “deadly for decades.” Even so, bringing the situation under control would be a “suicide mission” according to the official.

While some are still talking of the “potential” for a nuclear meltdown, U.S. Secretary of Energy Stephen Chu, a Nobel Laureate in Physics, has stated that there already is a “partial

I remember taping up the windows and wondering if the roof would blow away, but not really feeling it because I was too young to grasp the enormity of the situation.

Storms, however, give people time to prepare while earthquakes come without warning. The June 2008 tornado that ripped through our community left no one dead, but I’m sure it scared more than

just the peo-p l e a r o u n d h e r e . T h e r e were probably people on the other side of the world worrying a b o u t s o m e -one they cared a b o u t h e r e , powerless to do anything about it but wait for contact.

A n d w e have a l i t t l e baby fault line o f o u r o w n that caused a

5.1-magnitude trembler right here in Manhattan in 1867. It could happen again. Worst case scenario, the dam could rupture and flood our town. The chances are slim, but it could happen to us.

Empathy hurts, but it’s nec-essary. If we can recognize our own fears and remember our own painful experiences, then we can identify with those who are experiencing their own fear or pain, regardless of whether we know them or not, or think we don’t have anything in common with them.

I encourage everyone to look within themselves and remember a time they experienced something bad or scary or tragic and were helped by somebody else. It’s your time to help now. Whether you know anyone from Japan or not, you can help. You can give water, food, blankets or money, even if it’s just $1.

You can donate through orga-nizations like the American Red Cross, GlobalGiving or the Salva-tion Army.

Helping somebody you don’t know in a country on the other side of the world is difficult, because it feels impersonal. You will never see the face of the person you help, but they will remember it forever.

meltdown” at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.

Japanese authorities have told people to evacuate 12 miles from the plant, while the U.S government has advised American citizens and ordered American military personnel to stay at least 50 miles from the plant.

Considering the danger this situation poses to not only the Japanese people but to everyone in the region, the Japanese gov-ernment has a duty to be honest about the extent of the crisis.

It is hardly surprising that Ja-pan is downplaying the damage, as the nation is heavily invested in nuclear energy.

Less than a year ago the Unit-ed States government deliberate-ly downplayed the damage caused by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico, dam-age that will most likely continue

to hurt the Gulf for decades.Japan was aware of how dan-

gerous earthquakes can be – and how they can cause nuclear cri-ses. Cables released by Wikileaks show that in late 2008 the International Atomic Energy Agency warned the Japanese government about the threat that a major earthquake could pose to its nuclear plants.

In response, the Japanese built an emergency response center at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, but the center was only prepared to withstand a 7.0 magnitude quake.

The recent earthquake has been upgraded to a magnitude of 9.0. Considering the history of major earthquakes suffered by Japan, this was not enough.

Regardless of the actions taken after this tragedy, we send our best wishes to those affected by the earthquake.

For the third year, Texas Tech’s College of Mass Communica-tions hosts the fi rst screening of the Global Lens Initiative’s 2011 Global Lens fi lm series Tuesday.

The first of the 10 films, the Indian fi lm “Soul of Sound,” will be available for viewing at 6 p.m. in Room 101 of the Mass Commu-nications building, and admission is free.

Jeremy Quist, Global Lens series manager with the Global Lens Initiative, said Susan Weeks Coulter founded the organization in 2002 after she became inspired to promote an understanding of other cultures following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The organization, Quist said, is a non-profi t fi lm distributor based out of San Francisco, which strives to promote cross-cultural under-standings through the cinema.

“This series premiers every Janu-ary at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and spends the rest of the year touring through the U.S.,” he said.

Quist said they choose the fi lms

for Global Lens by keeping an eye on films from international film festivals throughout the year and receiving fi lms screeners send in.

The characteristics they look for in the fi lms, he said, are stories with strong narratives, a stylistic balance with fi lms that could be considered mainstream and fi lms that are more experimental and fi lms that could have only been made in the coun-try they were fi lmed in, presenting cultural authenticity.

“These are films that likely wouldn’t have the chance to be seen in America and by American audiences,” Quist said. “So we’re glad that we can bring these stories and these voices to audiences in the U.S.”

While doing research as a Ph.D. student, Robert Peaslee, assistant professor of electronic media and communications, learned about the Global Film Initiative, and, when he came to Tech in 2008, he began to look into the possibility of bring-ing a few of the fi lms to campus.

“There’s not really an oppor-tunity in Lubbock to see films from outside the U.S. or to see independently produced fi lms, and I thought it would be a nice thing

to provide the campus,” he said. “So I sort of took it upon myself to see about getting at least a few of the fi lms here. So I wrestled up some funding from a few sources.”

The funding needed to bring the series to Tech came from the Institute for Hispanic and Interna-tional Communications, the Cross-Cultural Academic Advancement Center, and Alamo Draft House Cinemas, he said.

Peaslee said in 2009 only a few of the fi lms were brought to campus, but by 2010 the entire series was being funded and brought to Tech like it is this year.

Each of the 10 fi lms, Peaslee said, will be shown twice: once dur-ing the spring semester and again during the summer in the style of a fi lm festival, where they begin showing the fi lms on a Friday and carry on until Saturday or Sunday.

Peaslee said each screening in the spring is followed by a panel discussion. The panelists, depend-ing on the country the fi lm was shot in, are usually experts on the country of origin, experts on liter-ary or fi lm traditions within that region, or experts on the economy or history of that country.

Kent Wilkinson, regents profes-sor in Hispanic and international communications, is the director of the Institute for Hispanic and International Communications, which helped to make the Global Lens series possible at Tech.

In the past, Wilkinson also has served as a panelist, with expertise in Latin America. Having done work in Spanish language media in the U.S., Wilkinson said he is able to give a more international perspective.

Wilkinson said they encourage participation from the audience during the discussion. They enjoy the opportunity to interact with the audience and listen to the dif-ferent points made and the variety of questions that are raised.

“I think it really helps our understanding of cultural diver-sity; also artistic diversity because fi lmmakers from different cultures have different ways of using the medium to communicate,” he said. “I think we’re living in an increas-ingly interconnected society, so it’s important for us to know how people express themselves on their own terms.”

Adele has the voice of a fe-male Bruce Springsteen, which her new album “21” successfully exposes. Unfortunately, weak lyrics and redundant music bring the singer’s second album to a disappointing conclusion.

“21” is a breakup album — and for albums with this theme to be successful, they must bring out a strong emotional response from listeners so the audience can sympathize with the lyrics and relate to the song’s message. To accomplish this, the album needs a strong vocal perfor-mance and inspirational lyrics.

Various singles on the album, such as “Someone Like You,” “Don’t You Remember” and “Rolling In The Deep,” succeed in these areas. The combination of great vocals, original lyr-ics, unique sound and emotion makes these singles stand out from the rest of the album.

The 22-yea r-o ld ’s vo ice breathes life into the album. Her voice makes her not only strong and independent, but also emotional, outshining the music and lyrics and complementing her style.

The album as a whole, how-ever, fails in connecting with its listeners. The lyrics do not contain anything original that helps the audience relate, and since the album possesses this weak link, the audience never can connect emotionally with the message.

Rather than featuring Adele’s vocals, some songs play it safe by making Adele hold back rather than exerting her full vocal range in the lyrics.

This is disappointing because Adele is the album’s saving grace during some of the weaker songs — the mixture of various songs having Adele hold back and being a lyrical and instrumental

bore makes for uninteresting music.

“21” is a mixture of old-school soul mixed with an al-ternative sound. These elements elevate Adele’s vocals, but un-fortunately the album’s sound does not stand out. The songs run together, and it becomes difficult for the listener to dis-tinguish individual songs.

The album’s sound is unin-teresting; few songs possess any musical innovation, and the album does not have anything that distinguishes it from the rest of the musical world.

With a stronger overall per-formance, “21” could have been something special. It is only because of Adele that some of the songs in the album have any emotion. While “21” dis-plays Adele as a great vocalist, it fails to make her stand out in a unique way. The sound is not special, and the lyrics tend to be less about the emotional message and more about showing off Adele’s voice.

Overall, “21” is a passable second album by Adele. It con-tains great singles, but wastes potential and fails to deliver a quality album that lasts through the final beat.

PARIS (AP) — America un-leashed the heavier fi repower, but Europe — to the surprise of some — was the driving force behind the assault on Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi .

France, perhaps hoping to purge memories of a dictator-coddling past, fi red the fi rst strikes Saturday. Britain, still stinging from its release of the Libyan agent behind the Lockerbie plane bombing, cajoled other nations into joining.

And all 27 countries in the Eu-ropean Union insisted nine days ago that Gadhafi “must relinquish power immediately” — unexpected, from a bloc often accused of being too slow and too soft. President Barack Obama, initially reticent, joined in the call and seemed happy to let Europe take the lead publicly.

The contrast with 2003 — when France led global opposition to the war on Iraq — shows how much has changed since then, and also how different things can be when the problem is on Europe’s doorstep.

Europeans fear a fl ood of refu-gees, making them particularly sensitive to the possibility of a hu-manitarian disaster in North Africa.

But the reasons for Europe’s anti-Gadhafi push are more complex than that, and may have as much to do with personalities as politics: The frenetic French president,

Europe, not US, pushed for military force in LibyaNicolas Sarkozy, eager for attention on the world stage and suffering in the polls at home; Britain’s youthful prime minister, David Cameron, eager to defl ect attention from tough auster-ity measures and score some foreign policy points.

It doesn’t hurt that there is a grand ideological imperative that Europe can embrace: Alongside the oil interests in Libya, the Arab world is undergoing a massive convulsion fed by a desire for freedom — a value modern Europe has always claimed to uphold.

Speaking Saturday as he an-nounced the wide-reaching interna-tional agreement on military action, Sarkozy framed it as a decisive measure to support pro-democracy protesters.

“We have the duty to respond to this anguished appeal,” he said. “The Arab people have chosen to liberate themselves from the servitude they have found themselves locked in for too long. These revolutions have made a huge hope grow in the heart of all those who share the values of democracy and human rights.”

Sarkozy said the allies want to pro-tect Libyans from “the murderous in-sanity of a regime that, in assassinating its own people, has lost all legitimacy.”

The operation has its critics. The Arab League, which backed calls for a no-fl y zone, said the day-old military operation has already gone too far. Rus-sia, China and Venezuela are opposed.

Germany supports it but won’t join in.Sarkozy’s aggressive stance may

be an effort to compensate for past mistakes. France has a history of cozy relations with autocrats in former colonies, and Sarkozy underestimated the power of protests in Tunisia that toppled the ruling regime in January.

This time, he was the fi rst world leader to recognize the Libyan opposi-tion governing council. He pushed hard and repeatedly for a no-fl y zone, and helped get other EU and Arab countries to agree.

And in a trademark Sarkozy move, he summoned world leaders on less than 24 hours notice to Paris for a summit Saturday to announce the intervention.

“France has decided to assume its role, its role before history,” he pro-claimed, as French warplanes staged their fi rst sorties.

France broke a half-century tradi-tion when it fi red the fi rst airstrike on Libyan tanks Saturday. Francois Heis-bourg, of the International Institute of Security Studies, said it was the fi rst time since the Suez expedition in 1956 that “the initiative has come from the French.”

France fi red “the opening shot of

a war, that’s the strategic signifi cance. We now know we have crossed the line,” he said.

Britain has its own reasons to take the lead on punishing Gadhafi , whose regime has a history of anti-British hostility.

Gadhafi has accepted Libya’s re-sponsibility for the worst act of ter-rorism to have taken place on British soil: the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270 people, most of them Americans. And links between Libya and the Irish Republican Army go back to the 1970s, when Gadhafi fi rst praised the group as allies in a struggle against Western imperialism.

Britain came under heavy criti-cism from American politicans after Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the only man convicted in the Lockerbie bombing, was released in 2009 from a Scottish prison on compassionate grounds. The government has strongly denied claims that al-Megrahi was freed to smooth an oil exploration deal with Libya.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair, meanwhile, has been criticized for helping to rehabilitate Gadhafi’s international status in exchange for lucrative deals.

Cuts ↵CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Probst said the amount of graduating education majors from Tech alone makes the job market competitive.

“I am only one out of so many,” she said. “Tech isn’t the only school that is sending out people that will be searching for jobs all over Texas and even outside of Texas.”

Probst said the current job market is causing her to submit her r e s u m e t o schools she would have otherwise not cons idered . She a l so i s searching for jobs outside of Texas.

S h e s a i d if she is un-able to find a teaching job out of school, then she will ap-ply as a substitute teacher until she can find work.

Peggy Johnson, associate dean for teacher education, said the current budget situation is affecting schools everywhere, from public schools to univer-sities.

“We are at a state of uncer-tainty,” Johnson said. “We don’t know how the budget cuts are going to affect us.”

She said the best teachers will always be the ones to re-ceive the job offers in uncertain times.

“We tell our students that there are always room for teach-ers who are the very best, and that is why it is important for them to do a good job in their teacher preparation,” Johnson said.

Several high-interest teach-ing fields will be easier to find a job in, she said. Science and math are usually particularly high in demand for teachers.

Teachers with ESL (English as a Second Language) certi-fication always will have an “advantage” over those who are not certified, Johnson said.

Johnson said the schools will not know what the budget cuts

will look like until the current legislative session is over. She said if the budget cuts are not as bad as they may have believed, then many schools will hire later than they normally do.

Lauren Wright, a senior multi-disciplinary studies major from Keller, said the odds of a teacher finding work right out of school are substantially lower than in the recent past, but she has a positive outlook on the situation.

“At first I was worr ied and discour-aged, but now I look at it as a blessing if am able to get a job,” Wright s a i d . “ B u t why should I worry when I don’t know the outcome? I wi l l apply t h i s m o n t h and see how it works out.”

W r i g h t said she is getting married soon so she has a more limited area to apply for teaching jobs. She said she is not worried because the College of Education has prepared her well.

Wright also said she would substitute teach if she is unable to find a teaching job by the fall. ➤➤cwoodman@dailytoreador.com

Texas Tech athletics is enter-ing an uncertain period, but it’s so far so good for Red

Raider fans.There has been an uncharacteristi-

cally high turnover rate in some of the prominent positions in the department during the last year and a half.

Perhaps most notably, a guy from outside is now calling the shots, re-placing the only athletic director most Tech students have ever known. Kirby Hocutt, a relatively young gun who was running the Miami athletic department, took over for the familiar Gerald Myers.

Of course, Mike Leach, who was beloved by the majority of Red Raider Nation, was fired and replaced by Tommy Tuberville. The hire proved Tech was hoping to stay in the upper echelon of college football teams, and thus far it seems the Red Raiders will stay there for years to come.

So after a glamour hire like that, it wasn’t unreasonable for Tech fans to shift in their seats with another important job vacant and somebody else making the hire.

Tech fans can get comfortable again (maybe even in their seats at United Spirit Arena) because Hocutt went out and got the best candidate on the market to come to the South Plains.

The move comes after Hocutt “had the opportunity to spend signifi cant time with Billy” during the previous fortnight. Just a brief side note: I can’t wait to fi nd out where exactly athletic directors court out-of-work basketball coaches.

The big story here, though, is not whether Hocutt and Gillispie caught “Battle: Los Angeles” or played a few holes of mini-golf but that Hocutt set his eyes on the most attractive candi-date available and went out and got that guy to come to Tech.

Recruiting is a big deal in college athletics, and that doesn’t just go for athletes. ADs have to be able to sell

their program to big-name coaches. With this hire, Hocutt shows he’s

prepared to keep doing just that. Of course, there are many different as-pects to his job, and it remains to be seen what he will do with facilities, fundraising and other things. Still, it’s encouraging to see his fi rst task as AD marked as a success (for now).

As other coaching openings come, and make no mistake they will, Tech fans can take confi dence in the fact that Hocutt is the kind of guy who can go after and get the big boys.

Now, even taking Gillispie’s strug-gles both on and off the court at Ken-tucky into account, the Red Raiders have proven winners building both their most important squads.

Gillispie has proven he can turn programs around and shown he can win in the Big 12 Conference. He is the kind of coach for whom recruits hope they can play.

I realize it’s still incredibly early in his tenure to make any sort of ruling on Hocutt and the job he will do overall, but the early signs are encouraging.

Tech fans worry. That’s kind of a fact of life in West Texas. When Hocutt arrived, there was plenty of hand wring-ing about his youth, why he’d want to leave Miami, the Hurricanes’ recent struggles and a variety of other issues.

All we can really go off is what we know. So the current tally? Hocutt: 1, Failure: 0.

Texas Tech’s match against UTSA on Sunday proved to be a perfect tuneup for junior Gonzalo Escobar and the No. 17 Red Raiders with Big 12 Conference play is just around the corner.

The Red Raiders handled the Road-runners, beating them 6-1. Not only was it another victory, Escobar said, but it showed a lot about this team’s growth as well.

“It meant a lot especially because it’s the one before Baylor, and this is always the team that has been leading the Big 12,” Escobar said. “What an opportunity for us. We have a team that is the same as last year, but it’s more mature, know much more about college tennis, more matured. So I think this is our chance.”

After the Red Raiders (13-5) claimed the doubles point, the players returned to the courts for singles play.

Rafael Garcia, who has struggled during the past few weeks, continued to fail to convert serves into points. The junior fell to sophomore Tyler Brown in straight sets, 6-1 6-2.

The Roadrunners (9-7) would not claim a victory after that point.

Once Tech led 2-1, No. 18 Escobar and No. 21 Raony Carvalho adminis-tered the fatal one-two punch to clinch the victory.

Escobar breezed by sophomore Mar-tin Ayala, 6-1 6-1, and then Carvalho fi nished off freshman Yannick Junger, 6-4 6-3.

Carvalho improved to 16-0 in the No. 2 slot, while Escobar notched his 12th win in the No. 1 spot.

Tech coach Tim Siegel said having both of these players at the top has been vital to the team, and it is not just because of what they have been doing on the court.

“Well Ray’s (Raony Carlvaho) undefeated at No. 2, and Gonzalo’s just been the heart and soul of this team,” Siegel said. “Gonzalo’s the guy we lean on, and he brings it every single day, and he’s done a tremendous job. I can’t say enough good things about Gonzalo. Both those guys are top 25 in the na-tion, and they put themselves in posi-tion to make the NCAA tournament individually.”

This victory is the sixth in a row since Tech lost to No. 22 Auburn on Feb. 26 in the semifi nals of the Blue Gray Tennis Classic in Montgomery, Ala.

No. 17 Red Raiders win fi nal nonconference match of year

By JOSHUA KOCHSTAFF WRITER

Since then, the Red Raiders have been on a tear, defeating all ranked teams, including No. 21 Notre Dame and No. 40 New Mexico.

The experience gained from knocking off a handful of quality opponents could pay off in the fi nal matches of the season considering the Big 12 is full of ranked teams.

No. 31 Baylor is the fi rst chal-lenge for Tech, starting at 1 p.m. Sunday at the McLeod Tennis Center.

Getting a victory will not be easy, Carvalho said, and they will need the entire team there to be concentrated on the game.

“I think we have to have 10 players out there, not just the six that are on the tennis court, but even the ones that are outside,” Carvalho said. “We have to have everybody together and focused.”

CLEVELAND (AP) — Once Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger declared it was over, it was over.

David Lighty made all seven of his 3-pointers and scored 25 points, Sullinger added 18 after informing one of George Mason’s players “it’s over” and top-seeded Ohio State made 16 3s to advance in the NCAA tourna-ment with a jaw-dropping 98-66 win Sunday.

With thousands of fans chanting “O-H-I-O” at every opportunity, the Buckeyes (34-2) took apart the Patri-ots (27-7), who created some March mayhem a few years ago and hoped to follow Butler’s lead by taking out a No. 1 seed in this tourney.

Ohio State destroyed any upset plans and moved closer to its fi rst na-tional title since 1960. The Buckeyes will meet Kentucky (27-8) in the East regional semifi nals Friday in Newark, N.J. Ohio State is 5-0 in NCAA tour-

nament matchups with the Wildcats.After falling behind 11-2, the Big

Ten champions used their devastat-ing inside-outside attack to post the most lopsided tournament victory in school history.

William Buford scored 18 and freshman guard Aaron Craft had 15 assists for Ohio State.

Cam Long scored 16 points to lead George Mason.

The challenge was daunting enough for the Patriots and then they found out before the game that they would face the Buckeyes without Luke Hancock, one of their best play-ers. The sophomore guard had food poisoning and remained with a trainer at the team’s hotel.

Hancock, who averages 10 points, scored 18 and hit a decisive 3-pointer with 21 seconds left in George Mason’s win over Villanova in the second round.

But even he probably couldn’t have helped. The Patriots were in way over their heads against the Buckeyes.

Early on, the Patriots weren’t fazed and came right at Ohio State. They opened with an 11-2 run capped by a basket from Ryan Pearson, a junior from New York who started jawing with Sullinger. Ohio State’s laid-back big man took exception to a few of Pearson’s words and responded with a prediction.

“It’s over, yo,” he said, waving his hands.

And it was, yo.The Buckeyes closed the fi rst half

by outscoring the Patriots 50-15, unleashing every weapon in their overstocked offensive arsenal. They scored on backboard-quaking dunks. They made nine 3-pointers. They dropped fl oaters, layups and shots from every angle.

Ohio State routs George Mason 98-66

(AP) — Butler is at it again. So are the boys from Tobacco Road. The Blue-grass State is represented and so are the Cheeseheads. There’s room for a double-digit seed. And, of course, The Jimmer and Brigham Young.

The second week of the NCAA tour-nament will make the traditionalists every bit as happy as those who love underdogs.

It’s the sort of well-balanced blend — equal parts favorites and bracket bust-ers — that helps make March Madness what it is.

Duke and North Carolina each made it through to the second weekend after a pair of last-second wins Sunday, meaning Tobacco Road will be represented. Ohio State joined the Blue Devils as the other top seed to advance, with Kansas also going for a spot later Sunday.

Underdogs include No. 8 seed Butler, which upset top-seeded Pittsburgh, and No. 12 Richmond.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Arizona didn’t forget how to advance in its one-year absence from the NCAA tournament.

Derrick Williams’ three-point play with 9.6 seconds remaining lifted the Wildcats to a 70-69 win over Texas in the third round of the NCAA tournament Sunday night.

The Wildcats (29-7) led by as many as 13 points in the fi rst half and

were up for most of the game before J’Covan Brown’s jumper put the Longhorns ahead 69-67. Williams misfired on a game-tying attempt with 14.5 seconds remaining, but Texas (28-8) was called for a fi ve-second violation on the inbound pass to give Arizona one more chance.

Replays appeared to show the call came before the count reached fi ve.

Williams took advantage, slip-

ping to the baseline on a pick-and-roll and taking the pass from Kyle Fogg. His shot fell through to tie the game, and his free throw put the Wildcats into the regional semifi nals for the first time since last year’s absence snapped a 25-year tourna-ment streak.

Brown had one fi nal chance for the Longhorns, driving the length of the court and into the lane. But he

was met by a trio of Arizona defend-ers, including Williams, and his wild shot went high off the backboard and missed. Time expired during the battle for the rebound.

Jordan Hamilton opened the second half by hitting each of his fi rst two 3-point attempts for Texas, which closed to within 38-35 after Cory Joseph curled off a screen for a jumper.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — The situation was perfect for Carl Edwards to issue some payback on Kyle Busch.

Instead, Edwards passed on a chance to knock Busch out of the lead over the closing laps at Bristol Motor Speedway.

As Busch pulled away for Sun-day’s win — his fi fth-straight dating back to last August at the Tennessee track — Edwards regretted not racing harder to potentially steal the victory. The two have a history at Bristol, and Edwards is still smarting from contact last month at Phoenix that he believed wrecked a car capable of winning the race.

“I told him after Phoenix that I still owe him one, but I’ll save it up,” Edwards said. “I thought I’d be able to race with him harder for those last 15 to 20 laps, but he took off and I just couldn’t get back to him to race. If I would have known that was the only shot I was going to have, I might have raced a little harder.”

That Edwards considered revenge was a surprise to Busch, who seemed mystifi ed that Edwards could be hold-ing any sort of grudge against him.

“I have no idea what I’m owed from, you’d have to ask Carl,” Busch said, later adding when asked spe-cifi cally about Phoenix, “Carl says what Carl says. I don’t know. And when and where it comes, I do not know.”

It didn’t come Sunday after Busch beat Edwards and Jimmie Johnson off pit road following the fi nal pit stops. It gave him the lead and ability to hold them off over the fi nal 60 laps. The racing at the start of each restart was intense, but Busch consistently pulled away from Edwards to prevent any

real challenge for the win.“I was trying to drive away from

him so he wouldn’t have the oppor-tunity to get to me,” Busch said of his strategy with Edwards. “When he got to me that one time, I’m like ‘Oh, man. That was your shot. Nice try. You didn’t get it done.’ I just thought, man, if I could get away from him I wouldn’t have to worry about it, so concentrate, get going.”

He did, pulling away to complete a sweep of the weekend — he also won the second-tier Nationwide Series race on Saturday — and it was Busch’s fi fth consecutive victory at Bristol dating back to a three-race sweep last August.

He’s now won fi ve Cup races at Bristol, which ties him with older-brother Kurt in NASCAR’s top se-ries, and has 11 victories spanning the three national series.

Busch, who drives a Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, dedicated the win to the manufacturer and its employ-ees in Japan still trying to recover from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

Edwards settled for second and lamented not pushing Busch harder after the fi nal restart with 37 laps remaining. Busch, Edwards and Johnson pulled away from the fi eld, and Edwards had several opportuni-ties to move Busch’s No. 18 Toyota out of the way.

But Edwards, in a Ford for Roush Fenway Racing, figured he’d have plenty of chances closer to the finish, so he tried for a clean pass as he and Busch raced side-by-side for several laps. Busch even-tually pulled away, and Edwards never had another shot.

Williams’ three-point play lifts Arizona past Texas

RICK BARNES AND the No. 4 seed Texas Longhorns fell to No. 5 seed Arizona after a late three point play from Derrick Williams put the Wildcats up by one with 9.6 seconds left.

“Over the past two weeks, I have had the opportunity to spend significant time with Billy,” Hoccut said in the statement, “and I am abso-lutely confident that he will lead our basketball program back to the national spotlight while positively representing our university.

“There are exciting years ahead for Red Raider basket-ball.”

No stranger to Texas or the Big 12 Conference, Gillispie was a head coach of three programs from 2002 to 2009.

He brings a 140-85 re-cord to Tech, along with four NCAA tournament appear-ances.

“It is a great honor to be selected as the basketball coach at Texas Tech Uni-versity,” Gillispie said in the statement. “I am very ap-preciative of athletics direc-tor Kirby Hocutt, President (Guy) Bailey and Chancellor (Kent) Hance for allowing me the opportunity to lead this program.

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Derek Holland made the argu-ment on the mound and contin-ued after his outing was over.

He wants a spot in the Texas Rangers’ rotation.

Holland pitched five strong innings to help the Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals 5-2 on Sunday, snapping a five-game losing streak.

“I had all my pitches working for me,” he said. “I was locating the ball well and my defense behind me was making the plays. Everything was working out per-fect for us. The A-game.”

The left-hander allowed an unearned run and five singles, struck out three and walked one. Brett Tomko finished for Texas, yielding one run and four hits.

DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Cowboys cornerback and special teams member Bryan McCann is denying reports that he was intoxicated when arrested by Dallas police during the weekend.

WFAA-TV of Dallas and Fort Worth reported early Sunday that the former SMU star was arrested early Saturday, charged with public intoxica-tion, taken to the Dallas city detox cen-ter about 3 a.m. Saturday and released almost eight hours later. Dallas police

have not released the details behind the arrest. Sr. Cpl. Gerardo Monreal, a Dallas police spokesman, did not response to messages left Sunday by The Associated Press.

However, McCann issued a state-ment Sunday that he “was not in-toxicated and did not pose a danger” to himself or others.

He said he took pride in his “good name and reputation” and would mount a vigorous defense.

Gillispie began his head-coaching career at UTEP in 2002 following a two-year as-sistant coaching stint at Illinois under current Kansas coach Bill Self.

The Texas native guided the Miners to the NCAA Tourna-ment in his second year, finish-ing 24-8. Gillispie’s first year at UTEP was his only losing season, a 6-24 mark.

Gillispie left El Paso for Col-lege Station, taking the reins of a Texas A&M program that had gone winless in Big 12 play dur-ing the 2003-2004 season.

In his three seasons leading the Aggies, Gillispie coached them to three postseasons, in-cluding a Sweet 16 appearance in his final season.

Gillispie then became the coach at Kentucky in 2007.

However, he would not last long and was fired March 27, 2009, in a hand-written letter stating Gillispie was not a “good fit” at Kentucky. In August 2009, Gillispie was arrested on a driving under the influence charge in Kentucky. Two months later, he pled guilty to the charge

in a plea agreement.Known as a top-flight re-

cruiter, Gillispie faces the task of bringing top recruits to West Texas. Incoming recruit Jordan Tolbert said he was excited Gillispie was coming to Tech because he believes he is a good coach. Tolbert said he spoke to Gillispie on the phone Sunday.

“We didn’t get to talk that long, but I like him,” Tolbert said via Facebook. “He said what I wanted to hear.”

Terran Petteway, a 6-foot-5 commit from Galveston, said Gillispie couldn’t wait to get him in Lubbock so he could start coaching the small forward.

Petteway said he hopes to be in the NCAA Tournament next year, something he knows Gillispie has experience with.

“He sounds like a guy who knows what he’s talking about,” Petteway said. “He sounds like a coach who doesn’t like to lose, and that’s what I’m like; I don’t like to lose, either.”

An introductory press con-ference is scheduled for 10 a.m. Wednesday in United Spirit Arena. The conference is open to the public and is free. The doors to United Spirit Arena open at 9:15 a.m.
