QUOTES TO NOTE Editor’s note: From tobacco bans to text messages, these are among our favorite quotes from the past several days.

“You might say — just this one time — that what STOPS here changes the world.” — William Sage, vice provost for health affairs for the UT System, on the new campus-wide tobacco ban, according to a press release.

“Today I was put in an awkward position by Ted Cruz, a man I’ve come to know and respect. Ted sent me a text suggesting I ask him a set- up question for Friday’s United States Senate debate. In my mind, this is nothing more than an attempt to rig the system.” — U.S. Senate candidate Craig James on a text message he received from fellow candidate Ted Cruz, according to a press release. In the text mes- sage, Cruz asked James to question competitor and current Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst on Dewhurst’s absenteeism at debates.

“I think we’re at a unique time that we can reset the budgeting game in Texas. ... I’ve looked at the landscape. I’m going to be the senior statesman, so to speak. This is the time.” — Texas Gov. Rick Perry on the possibility for a more conserva- tive state budget in the next legislative session, according to The Texas Tribune.

Virginia Tech did not and still does not allow possession of weapons on its campus by students, faculty or staff. I acknowledge that allowing concealed carry on campus would not necessarily have prevented these murders — but why the insistence that students not be allowed to exercise a full range of means to protect themselves from physical violence? In the event something like this was to happen in my own presence, the University’s current policy requires that I, an Army Infantry Officer with a concealed handgun permit, hide, run away or watch my fellow students be murdered or vic- timized. This University’s own history, as well as the occasional email alert regarding another mugging, sexual assault or murder on or near campus, stands as a witness to the failure of efforts to stop violence through disarming non-violent young people. I urge my fellow students to refuse to be a victim, support concealed carry on campus and demand their full rights as American citizens. Nick Roland History graduate student Virginia Tech Class of 2007

Fighting against its own interests I want to start off by saying that I have no problem with a tobacco ban on campus; I understand that the funding received from the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) is critical to continuing to perform cutting edge and potentially life- saving research here at UT, as well as the public health benefits of instituting such a ban. That being said, I find it puzzling in the extreme that CPRIT has chosen to include a ban on electronic cigarettes in its stipulation for funding. The problem is that e-cigarettes are not a tobacco product. They traditionally contain no tar, or any known carcinogens. By contrast, cigarettes contain at least 19 known carcinogenic chemicals. There has not yet been much research on the safety or usefulness of e-cigarettes as smoking-cessation devices, due in large part to their relatively recent invention. Because of this, e-cigarettes have not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a smoking-cessation device, yet I and many smokers I know have had great success in cutting back on smoking or quitting com- pletely through its use. In e-cigarettes, I and many others see great potential for a tool that helps people quit smoking, preserves public health by reducing second-hand smoke and allows persons the freedom to continue to consume nicotine in a relatively safe manner. CPRIT is fight- ing against against its own interests and the interests of University students by includ- ing e-cigarettes under its stipulations for funding.

Longhorns sweep doubleheader LAKERS

By Chris Hummer Daily Texan Staff

The threat of heavy rains on ROCKETS Sunday forced Texas to play a dou- bleheader on Saturday. But the change in scheduling did not de- ter the Longhorns, who swept the doubleheader. NUGGETS The second game of the set was tight throughout, as Texas (20-13, 9-3 Big 12) and Oklahoma State (18-16, 5-7 Big 12) came into the eighth inning in a 2-2 deadlock. Mark Payton put an end to the MLB tie quickly, however, as he led off the frame with a home run that RANGERS put Texas ahead 3-2. Hoby Milner entered the game in the ninth and quickly set the Cowboys down in order to end the game. TWINS “Corey [Knebel] threw a lot on Friday, so when that happens I have to be the backup closer, I guess, so that was cool,” Milner said. In the second game of the dou- bleheader the bullpen played a ASTROS key role of keeping the team in the game, as UT starter Ricky Jac- quez exited after four innings. He battled through control issues to give up two early runs. From there MARLINS the relievers took over and John Curtiss, Dillon Peters and Milner Zachary Strain | Daily Texan Staff Hoby Milner pitches in the ninth inning against Oklahoma State Saturday.
