he Texas Tech women’s basketball team has one lone freshman on the roster — point guard Chrislyn Carr.

As an Iowa native, Carr is far from home and said she had a hard time adjusting to living in Lubbock when she first got to Tech over the summer. Having her teammates around and being so close to them has helped as the months have passed.

“I think now I’m pretty cool with it just because, like I said, the team, we’re all so close to each other,” Carr said, “and how we can bond like that, and they’re all like my sisters, so I would say it’s like another family here.”

Although Carr is over 1,000 miles away from home, she said her family has played a big part

in her process at Tech. They travel to the majority of her home games in Lubbock despite the distance.

“They’ve been to most of them this season, but the farther ones they haven’t been to,” Carr said.

“But I’m not going to lie, they’ve been coming down here a lot, so I can’t complain.”

Her family has also played a big part in her success so far this season. Carr said they are her biggest support system off the court, even being so far away.

They believe in her process and have faith in her future.

“Them believing in me, knowing what I can do and knowing how much more I have in store for me,” Carr said. “I would say they have a big impact when it comes to that.”

Binge drinking poses risks for online presence

Buddy Holly Hall to revitalize Lubbock

By ADÁN RUBIO News Editor

When one consumes a lot of alcohol in a short time span, different consequences could occur. With the little selfcontrol one has after drinking, one’s social media presence could be at risk.

Heather Austin-Robillard, instructor of addictive disorders and recovery studies, said binge drinking is when a male drinks five or more drinks in less than two hours or a female drinks four or more drinks in the same amount of time.

“It happens a lot in college,” she said regarding research on the topic.

“One out of four binge drinkers reported having academic consequences.”

Binge drinkers, in contrast to people who drink at a moderate pace, are people Austin-Robillard said are six times more likely to report academic consequences, such as missing a class or obtaining poor grades. Along with consuming a product detrimental to one’s health, she said binge drinking could also hinder one’s control over their behaviors, especially their actions online.

“When you’re combining so much in such a little period of time, it’s going to have impacts on your body you no longer have control over,” she said. “You lose control of being able to do what you want.”

The Buddy Holly Hall, currently under construction, is projected to open in downtown Lubbock in May 2020. The main auditorium will seat 2,200 and will be utilized by Texas Tech for school of music programs, opera and more.

By MICHELLE BLESS Staff Writer

Music icon and Lubbock native Buddy Holly died in a plane crash on Feb. 3, 1959. Fifty-three years later, foundations of Lubbock began a project to commemorate his life and legacy.

In 2012, the CH Foundation and the Helen Jones Foundation worked with the Chamber of Commerce of Lubbock and then Garfield Public/Private of Dallas to conduct a research study to determine what Lubbock needed

to regenerate the city. After nine months of research, the determination was a Performing Arts Center.

The result of this study was LEPAA: Lubbock Entertainment and Performing Arts Association. LEPAA is a 501 c3 non-profit organization.

“After the study was presented in 2012, they formed the non-profit organization LEPAA to organize, develop and fund the project,” Tim Collins, LEPAA board chairman, said.

Success in art careers requires practice, determination from students

By MATT HAN Staff Writer

One of the goals of art students is to have their work seen and displayed in public galleries for other people to see.

The Texas Tech School of Art is one of the strongest accredited art schools in the country, according to its website. It provides a wide range of undergraduate and graduate degrees to ensure students have the freedom to develop artistically and encourage interdisciplinary learning.

According to the School of Art website, artmaking benefits a variety of academic disciplines.

Joe Arredondo, the assistant director for the School of Art, said a misconception people have is art students are just “making stuff.” He said art students are exploring, researching,

“There is a point which artists must exhibit their work,” Arredondo said.

Many art students start their careers early: making challenging art, creating communities, drawing from

history and exhibiting their art before they graduate, according to the School of Art website.

U.S. faces limitations on reuniting migrant families SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Trump administration says it would require extraordinary effort to reunite what may be thousands of migrant children who have been separated from their parents and, even if it could, the children would likely be emotionally harmed.

Jonathan White, who leads the Health and Human Services Department's efforts to reunite migrant children with their parents, said removing children from "sponsor" homes to rejoin their parents "would present grave child welfare concerns." He said the government should focus on reuniting children currently in its custody, not those who have already been released to sponsors.

"It would destabilize the permanency of their existing home environment, and could be traumatic to the children," White said in a court filing late Friday, citing his years of experience working with unaccompanied migrant children and background as a social worker.

The administration outlined its position in a courtordered response to a government watchdog report last month that found many more migrant children may have been split from their families than previously reported. The government didn't adequately track separated children before a federal judge in San Diego ruled in June that children in its custody be reunited

with their parents.

It is unknown how many families were split under a longstanding policy that allows separation under certain circumstances, such as serious criminal charges against a parent, concerns over the health and welfare of a child or medical concerns.

Ann Maxwell, Health and Human Services' assistant inspector general for evaluations, said last month that the number of separated children was certainly larger than the 2,737 listed by the government in court documents.

The department's inspector general report didn't have a precise count, but Maxwell said staff estimated it to be in the thousands.

not have that same requirement, however, Arredondo said they might want to have a show.

“They look around and make proposals for exhibitions,” Arredondo said.

“There are countless venues where students can organize small exhibitions.”

Ghislaine Fremaux, an assistant professor in the School of Art, said she primarily teaches painting, and her specialization is life drawings focusing on human figures. She said life drawings are what comprise most of her work.

Fremaux said one of the graduate students put in a proposal to use the small space in the School of Art gallery, which is about 15 yards wall to wall, for a painting she was working on. Fremaux said the graduate student crafted her work by using the character of the

space and size.

“That process by which students can submit in proposals, to stage art exhibitions, is one that I think Tech does very well,” Fremaux said. “You will see students mounting shows both on campus and at affiliated galleries downtown.”

Fremaux helps students by looking at their writing, which explains the artwork, she said, and she thinks about how the proposal paints the picture of the show students are trying to put on. She also looks at the language students are using and how the language compares to the visual sense the work is trying to convey.

“Does it suggest that the show is really going to benefit our community?” Fremaux said. “I think that is something that we are very interested in, seeing how it

connects Tech to the larger part of the community.”

Cody Arnall, an assistant professor for the School of Art, said students need to have a proposal, an artist statement and about 10 to 20 images of artwork to fully submit their work.

As far as cost goes, Arnall said typically students would cover cost themselves. On the other hand, the School of Art does cover the signage for the student show, final for the window, label for the wall and show cards that help promote the show.

“It is one of our missions to get out in public and promote the School of Art, promote the work that our students are doing and the research that our faculty are doing,” Arnall said. “We really like to be involved.”

DRINKING

can damage their reputation.

Regarding binge drinkers blacking out and losing control over their actions, she said one’s own behavior is not the only factor that could impact online professionalism.

“It’s not just what you post, it’s what someone else posts,” Low said. “I think there’s more danger in that.”

sociate director for external relations at the Tech Center for Collegiate Recovery Communities, said with the lack of control after binge drinking, people can act in different ways.

“They cover the gamut,” he said. “Just very unhealthy types of behaviors that a person wouldn’t normally do in their right mind.”

When people are in an alcohol-seduced state, Comiskey said people do not take the time to think through their actions, whether it be in public or online. With nothing in the brain’s prefrontal cortex challenging unwanted thoughts, he said people act carelessly.

“A brain that is so toxic, that it’s not even taking memory in. Even though the person is up-right, talking,” Comiskey said.

With the actions that result from drinking a lot in a small interval of time, Comiskey said binge drinkers need to get help, or they could risk hindering connections with people.

“Alcohol bends that center of the brain that allows us to have that social context,” he said. “We do stuff that can damage relationships and our future.”

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Blurry vision and bad motor functions are just a few problems Austin-Robillard said can occur when one binge drinks. But blackout episodes are the issue she said could have detrimental effects on one’s behaviors on social media.

“Maybe you would post something you wouldn’t have posted,” Austin-Robillard said.

Carelessly posting content online could bring consequences one may not have intended.

Whether it be a college student looking for a job after college or a person maintaining their career connections, one’s social media presence could be a factor in preserving professionalism.

Lisa Low, assistant professor of practice in public relations, said potential employers will consider an applicant’s behavior online.

“With the way organizations recruit, there’s a lot of weight with electronic materials,” she said. “Pretty much every employer out there is going to Google you first.”

When one acts poorly online, especially after binge drinking, Low said a person

Students need to be deliberate about their behavior online and offline.

LISA LOW PR PROFESSOR

For people who blackout after binge drinking, Low said being aware of the consequences is necessary to prevent being perceived poorly.

“Students need to be deliberate about their behavior online and offline,” she said.

“If you’re going to behave that way, assume someone is going to see it.”

Actions that result from blacking out could consist of a variety of behaviors a person would never normally do.

Bus system helps students, needs improvement

By MEGAN MOSES Staff Writer

For many Texas Tech students, the bus system gives them quick transportation between class, work and their homes.

Stacey Stockard, the media relations coordinator for Transportation and Parking Services, said the bus system has grown since its founding in the 1960s.

The partnership between the Tech Student Government Association, Citibus and TPS has made the bus system a reliable service for students.

“It’s something that our Tech students rely on, that it’s come to be a dependable service,” Stockard said. “It’s grown so much and been able to meet the demand that our students have.”

The apartment routes are relatively new compared to the campus routes, she said.

“We’ve seen so much growth east of University (Avenue) with all of the complexes out there,” Stockard said.

A b o u t h a l f o f Te c h students use a car to get around, she said, but the other half use Lime scooters, Uber, the buses, bikes and other alternative modes of transportation.

“We see that 50 percent of our students use alternative modes of transportation,” she said.

Another option that has recently emerged is Zipcar, another initiative of the TPS, Stockard said.

“It’s another good resource for our students on campus, especially the ones who have chosen to not bring a car with them to campus,” she said.

The TPS office is always open to feedback to improve

COURTESY OF TRANSPORTATION & PARKING SERVICES

the services it provides students, she said.

“We are always looking for ways to improve things,” Stockard said. “We always value input from our students.”

Emily Chambers, a freshman public relations and communication studies major from Lubbock, said the bus system could improve on efficiency.

“There have been a couple of times that the buses were running with a wait of 10 to 12 minutes and not a wait time of five to seven minutes,” Chambers said.

“But this isn’t always the bus driver’s fault because

they do run on a college campus, and sometimes college kids are walking everywhere.”

D e s p i t e t h i s f l a w, Chambers said the ride is usually pleasant.

“I don’t think I have ever gotten on a bus that felt like a part of the public transportation system,” she said. “They are very tidy, not having a lot of trash just lying around.”

The bus drivers are generally friendly too, she said.

“There are some that are not nice, but the ones that always greet people with ‘Hello!’ and then ‘Have a

great day!’ appear more than those who don’t,” she said.

While the app Double T is useful, it can be confusing to understand the routes, Chambers said.

“I actually got the app after my roommate and I accidentally got on the bus that went out to apartments like Thrive and the Avenue,” she said. “We thought the bus would take us to the (Student Union Building), but it didn’t and we couldn’t get off it, so we just rode the bus and enjoyed the ride.”

Megan Adolps, a sophomore human development

and family science major from Fort Worth, said the buses help her since she does not have a car.

“Positive aspects of it are that its free for someone like me who has a car who couldn’t make it to Lubbock,” Adolps said. “I don’t have to be dependent on others.”

However, not all buses in Lubbock are created equal, Adolps said.

“The bus system reaching the apartments are much more dependable then the buses that are just on campus,” she said.

The biggest complaint,

Adolps said, is the hours of operation. Because the bus only runs until 7 p.m., she struggles to catch the bus after her shift at work ends.

“The bus doesn’t run on weekends either,’ she said. “If I wanted to study on campus, I would have to call an Uber, that’s ridiculous.”

Overall, she said a few improvements could go a long way for public transportation on campus.

“Hire more bus drivers,” she said. “Run buses on the weekends, but other than that, it’s way more of a good thing then a bad thing.” @MeganMosesDT

The power of pr[e]yer: Change needed in prosection of predator priests

T

he Roman Catholic Church has made headlines in recent months as public reports of widespread abuse are consistently made across the country.

Last week, nearly 300 priests were accused of sexual abuse in Texas. There should be cause for concern as victims continue to make reports of crimes at a time when law enforcement can no longer lawfully interfere and hold abusive priests accountable.

The recent investigation in Pennsylvania renewed public scrutiny of the Roman Catholic Church and revealed the conflicting mandates of our justice system and the Canon Law of the Roman Catholic Church. These conflicts create loopholes for predator priests that, until closed, allow priests who sexually abuse children to escape prosecution for their crimes.

In August 2018, the Attorney General of Pennsylvania released an explosive grand jury report detailing the horrific abuses effectuated by priests within the Roman Catholic Church. The report identified over 1,000 child victims and detailed the salacious conduct of more than 300 abusive priests.

The report uncovered a series of practices engaged in by the dioceses aimed at concealing the truth.

Katherine Peters is a third-year law student from El Paso.

The evidence in this report showed priests often engaged in sexual contact with minors, including grooming, fondling and penetration.

The subject of the grand jury report, both heartbreaking and infuriating, is not a societal irregularity.

While difficult to accept, evidence shows children have been sexually abused by priests for centuries.

The problem is the infrequency which predator priests are prosecuted for their abuse.

Many states prescribe periods of limitation within which criminal prosecutions must be brought or be otherwise barred forever.

Limitations periods are designed to safeguard an accused from the potential abuses of the justice system for willful failure to properly investigate or timely prosecute.

Statutes of limitations also afford plaintiffs what legislatures deem to be a reasonable time to present claims, while protecting defendants and the courts from having to deal with cases in which the search for the truth may be seriously impaired by the loss of evidence, whether by death or disappearance of witnesses, fading memories, stale or missing evi-

dence or otherwise.

The Roman Catholic Church, however, has its own set of laws that conflict with the mandates of state and federal law. It is this set of laws that make it nearly impossible for law enforcement to act.

The Church follows the Code of Canon Law. The

When victims do come forward, it is often too late for criminal sanctions.

Canon Law has existed for centuries and underwent changes in 1983 specifically to address the process for dealing with cases of sexual abuse of minors by members of the clergy.

The modified provisions of the Code were intended to address the increased reports of sexual abuse from the 1970s through the 1980s, but trends from the period suggest the focus of the canonical approach shifted from punishment to the rehabilitation of the priest through therapy.

This trend is reflected in reports that priests were moved from parish to parish to receive treatment for their pedophilia. The Church continues to emphasize a psychological ap-

proach, believing a sexual predator can be reformed with proper treatment.

The Code of Canon Law urges pontifical secrecy.

The products of an investigation into alleged abuse are to be kept in the secret archive if such records are not necessary for the penal process. Pontifical secrecy acts as an impediment to outside investigation because the church has a duty under the canon law to keep all products of an investigation in the secret church archives.

There is no affirmative duty requiring a church official to turn over reports of sexual abuse to state or federal authorities. This amounts to obstruction of justice. State officials cannot adequately prosecute priests when fresh reports of abuse are locked away for decades in secret archives, and the child victims’ fear coming forward to report the abuse.

The ticking clock of the statute of limitations paired with the Catholic Church’s code of secrecy makes it nearly impossible to adequately prosecute sexual abuse of children by priests. When victims do come forward, it is often too late for criminal sanctions.

Victims who come forward decades after the abuse occurred can seek civil sanctions against the

Church as civil statutes of limitation differ from those of criminal law. Although predator priests escape criminal sanctions after the expiry of criminal limitations periods, the Church can still be held liable under civil law.

Typically, to avoid tarnishing the good name of the Catholic Church in a trial setting, dioceses accused of concealing sexual abuse or employing predator priests will pay out massive settlements to victims in exchange for nondisclosure agreements.

The Roman Catholic Church has paid victims nearly $4 billion in settlements over the years. The Vatican itself is not responsible for providing these funds. An individual diocese seeking to settle a claim of sexual abuse must procure its own funds.

The funds come in the form of loans or from donations made by the parishioners; a fact that should be infuriating to those who donate to their church with the belief donations go to further the greater good of their religious community.

The dioceses also rely on church insurance to cover portions of the settlement. In the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, church insurance covered the Archdiocese for $170 million of the historic $210

million settlement. The remaining $40 million came out of the Archdiocese’s own funds.

The Archdiocese declared bankruptcy in 2015, sold $8.8 million in assets and looked to budget cuts and contributions from individual parishes to make up the rest. The pattern continues across every Archdiocese across the country faced with paying million-dollar settlements. The church uses its insurance coverage, sells a few buildings, uses energy-efficient bulbs and the business, along with the abuse, continues. This method does not go far enough to hold individual actors and the hierarchy of the organization accountable for the abuse.

The statistics on abuse continue to grow as the Roman Catholic Church continues to be inundated with scandal. As recently as December 2018, almost 700 priests have been accused of sexual abuse in Illinois.

The trend continues and will continue indefinitely until our justice system can find a way to prosecute predator priests and hold the Roman Catholic Church accountable for its willful disregard of the devastating crimes committed against children. @DailyToreador

We may be sticking to our resolutions, giving them up or not even starting them.

We have transitioned into a new semester and are starting to get back into a routine.

Some people might be going into this year thriving, but I know for some of us that isn’t the case. Many students are dealing with illness to start off their year. I know this is the case for me and many of my classmates.

Of course, this is not an ideal way to embrace a new semester, but the only thing we can do is get healthy and continue to succeed.

We have already been experiencing colder temperatures as we always do in the winter season, but the increased wind we have seen since returning may have

an impact. I know blowing dirt and dust is probably not ideal to maintain a healthy immune system, but that is simply the way of life here in Lubbock.

Some people may have already had to break their new year ’s resolutions of going to all their classes due to illness. The cold temperatures and dry winds seem to be taking people down left and right. Whether it be simply allergies, a cold or something worse, everyone is beginning to experience this new year wave of illness

that seems to rear its ugly head every January.

Having grown up in the panhandle my entire life, I believe I am qualified to speak on this bizarre phenomenon of everyone seeming to get sick all at once in January. Ever year of school it seemed many of my classmates were absent all at once. Some for one or two days, others for a week.

Everyone coming back with stories after recovering from whatever illness that took over them.

Living in the panhandle, I’ve always had allergies and sinus infections every year around this time as well, and in elementary and intermediate school, these were the absolute worst, and I had to miss school. However, as I got

older and transitioned into high school, I quickly realized having a sinus infection did not necessarily mean I was unable to function enough to get through a school day.

A sinus infection for a day or two is not worth having make-up work that may take a week to complete.

Many students feel the same way as they tough their way through classes with dealing with symptoms.

Unfortunately, this year, the new year’s funk got me. I was unable to attend classes for a day which put me behind. I now have a lost voice and a cough that makes you think I was going to spit out a monster. All great things everyone wants to be around. This just made me think about how much I don’t

want this for other people. It reminded me how important taking care of one’s health is.

The importance of simple things like washing your hands or taking vitamin C seem to be ever present this time of year. Everyone is downing cough syrup and cold medicine trying to beat this thing before it gets too bad. However, no matter how hard we try, it still seems to sneak up on us with ferocity.

So, I would like to remind everyone to take care of themselves. Drink plenty of water, dress warmly and wash your hands at least 50 times a day. Then just maybe you will be able to breeze right on through this new year’s epidemic. @DailyToreador

The project for a new Performing Arts Center is known today as the Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts and Sciences.

With a budget of $154 million, the Buddy Holly Hall will serve as a home for 21,000 Lubbock Independent School District performing arts students, the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra, the Lubbock Ballet, Moonlight Musicals, South Plains College, Lubbock Christian and Texas Tech.

The hall is built solely on donations from independent donors and business partnerships. Not a cent of Lubbock city taxes is in the budget of this building, Collins said.

LEPAA is working with construction company Lee Lewis, and architecture firms Diamond Schmitt, MWM, and Parkhill, Smith & Cooper to construct the hall.

The Buddy Holly Hall will have two auditoriums: a large and small one. The smaller theater will be utilized by Lubbock ISD for all its shows K-12. Lubbock ISD’s partnership with LEPAA means no tax dollars will have to go into building a new auditorium for the schools, Collins said. “(By partnering with LISD) we created a better venue than they probably could have had independently,” Collins said.

Acoustic quality in both the large theater and the small theater will be NC 15, the highest acoustic quality possible, he said. Buddy Holly Hall large auditorium will be the 14th theatre in the country to have this quality, and the small auditorium will be number 15.

This will be the same quality level of theaters such as the Lincoln Center, Bass Hall and Carnegie Hall.

Michelle Stephens, LEPAA marketing director, said the opening of this hall will mean growth of businesses in Lubbock.

“Makes people want to stay here and live here,” Stephens said.

This hall will not be where new business and job opportunities end in downtown Lub-

mindlessly buying stuff,” she said. “Unless you have the cash each month to pay off the balance.”

Thomas said getting a credit card is a simple process.

“You fill out an application to the credit card company and they look at your income, if you have credit, and if you own a home or pay rent,” she said. “They pull up your credit history through your social security, it’s not a complicated process.”

While credit cards are good, she said it’s important to remember the debt accumulated is meant to be paid off at the end of each month.

Americans hit a total of $1.027 trillion in credit card debt in March 2018, accord-

ing to the Federal Reserve.

“Credit card companies make money off of us when we don’t pay them off each month, they charge us interest on what charge, and in some cases it can be up to 26 percent of the total balance,” Thomas said. “You only really need one or two cards, any more than that, you are going to get into credit card debt really fast.”

Not only does credit card debt cause financial and emotional stress, she said it also can affect one’s ability to make future, necessary purchases.

“If you can pay off each month, then it helps you establish good credit for future purchases like a home, car or even renting a home

bock, Stephens said. A theater means restaurant and hotel demand. The prediction of LEPAA is the Buddy Holly Hall will attract an audience from all over, meaning a demand for more space and business in the area, Stephens said. Upscale shows will now be able to come to Lubbock. This hall will have the necessary space to host Broadway shows on tour.

“Anything that we can bring to Lubbock enhances the quality of life here,” Stephens said.

This Hall poses growth and opportunity not only for the city of Lubbock, but for Texas Tech as well.

“This is going to outshine anything that’s here,” Gerald Dolter, professor of voice and music theatre director in the Tech School of Music, said Dolter is also the founder of Moonlight Musicals and the chair of the Voice Area at the School of Music. He was brought in to consult on the design work during the hall’s developmental stage to ensure the best quality possible for performances.

He said Tech will be utilizing the Hall for the School of Music programs, opera and the annual Christmas time Madrigal Feast is a possibility as well.

Dolter said he is confident this hall would mean the “revitalization of Lubbock.”

“The city will benefit because when that Hall is built, it happens every place in the United States,” Dolter said.

“It happened at Myerson Hall in Downtown Dallas: you put a theatre up, downtown, and there are restaurants that move in, there are hotels that are built, and they pay taxes, they pay city taxes. People come from all over the country to see shows, and they spend hotel nights.”

Aside from this being a massive project that will benefit the city, Dolter said this is also a memorial. In 1970, an F5 (the strongest possible) tornado struck Lubbock, leveling downtown and twisting the structure of the NTS Communications building. As a city with dedication to performing arts, it has long been an as-

piration to build a first-class performance theater, he said.

“There was horrible loss of life in that tornado, but something good has come out of it,” Dolter said.

Next to the hall, a glowing statue of a tornado will be constructed, commemorating the most significant disaster in Lubbock, beside the most significant building in Lubbock, he said.

“That theater is going to be

or apartment,” she said.

When it comes to paying each month, Thomas said she advises not to “over swipe” the credit card.

Don’t get a credit card if you don’t have to. But if you do, use it as little as possible because it can get ahead of you fast.

BROOKE VANDEN BERGE BANK TELLER “You tell yourself, ‘Oh, I will just pay the minimum and get by and catch up a shiny jewel for the people of Lubbock, West Texas and the South Plains for many years to come,” Dolter said.

Two students at the Tech School of Music are already motivated to work harder and perform better, even a year and a half away from the hall opening.

“It’s a good motivating factor to work harder, and to tone my skills so I can get those roles to perform on that stage,”

Buddy Holly Hall is projected to open in May 2020. The hall will feature a spiral staircase and two auditoriums .

next month,’ and then it becomes stressful and you owe thousands in debt,” she said. “Use cash for stuff and save your credit card for emergencies, car repairs or a vacation you have saved the cash for and can pay for at the end of the month.”

The average credit card debt owed in Texas is $6,902, according to TransUnion statistics, an amount Thomas said can take years to pay off.

Ashley Hayes, a junior sports management major at Texas Tech from Argyle, said she owns a credit card.

“I think it’s a good way for college students to build credit early in life,” Hayes said. “But you have to be careful, because if

you can’t pay it off, then it builds bad credit early on.”

Brooke Vanden Berge is a business management major at Tech from Stephenville, and she works as a teller at Prosperity Bank in Lubbock.

She said a credit card is nice to have if something urgent happens.

The biggest problem, she said, is people tend to overuse their credit cards in the wrong way, and it becomes hard for people to get out of the debt.

“Don’t get a credit card if you don’t have to,” Vanden Berge said. “But if you do, use it as little as possible, because it can get way ahead of you fast.”

Erin Mayfield, a sophomore vocal performance major from Allen, said.

It would be an honor to perform in the Buddy Holly Hall, Mayfield said.

Chance Trimble, a sophomore vocal performance and music education double major from Midland, said the prospect of performing at the hall is making everyone eager to perform.

“It’s motivating more and more people to get out there and really start putting their best work out,” Trimble said.

LEPAA is creating a performance hall set to put Lubbock on the map, to be a space where Broadway shows can tour, and where students can be discovered, Collins said. He believes the next Buddy Holly is somewhere inside the loop.

This hall is not just about being an attraction, it is about being a chance for someone like Buddy Holly, he said.

“If we give that person an opportunity, then we’ve served the mission of the building,” Collins said.

Patriots continue dominance with near boring game

T

his weekend Super Bowl LIII took place with the matchup involving the newly re-formed Los Angeles Rams and the reigning champion New England Patriots. It’s the Patriots third straight year making it to the NFL Championship game and it’s the team’s fourth time out of the last five seasons.

The Patriots dominance is one of the only reasons I was rooting for the Rams to walk away with a victory on Super Bowl Sunday.

New England entered the game searching for its sixth Super Bowl title in franchise history, which would put them in a tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most by any team, according to the Patriots official website.

All five of the Patriots Super Bowl wins prior to yesterday’s game have occurred since the 2001 season, with Tom Brady being a part of each of the victories.

Sam Medlin is a senior communications major from McKinney.

Out of Patriots QB Tom Brady’s five career Super Bowl victories, he has earned four Super Bowl MVP awards, which is a National Football League record for the most by a single player, according to the Patriots official website. Brady was also appearing in the ninth Super Bowl game of his career, which is another NFL record that he holds on to for the most by a single player.

This Super Bowl matchup started out rather slow, with the Patriots and Rams trading off possessions back and forth. Neither team could find a rhythm and by the end of the first half the Patriots led, just 3-0. The total amount of points scored in the first half,

ASSOCIATED PRESS

three, marked the second lowest amount of points scored in the first half of a Super Bowl game in NFL history.

When it comes to first half stats, Brady won the matchup, throwing for just over 100 more yards than Goff. Goff put up about 50 yards in the air, while Brady threw for around 160 yards to go along with an interception in the first two quarters.

It was starting to look like a battle of defense’s, because the second half opened up the same way the first one ended, with both teams just trading off possessions. Honestly, it was turning out to be a pretty boring and underwhelming game up to this point.

The Rams began the game on poor streak, punting the ball away on all of the team’s first eight possessions. It wasn’t until late in the third quarter, on Los Angeles’ ninth possession of the game, that they were able to find themselves inside field goal

range. After a quarterback sack by New England to force a Rams fourth-down, Los Angeles’ Kicker, Greg Zuerlein, struck a 53-yard field goal attempt to tie the game, 3-3.

The only people that are actually rooting for the Patriots to dominate are the true, home-grown Patriots fans.

After a few more failed possessions and penalties, Brady found Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski on a perfectly placed fade route, putting them inside the 5-yard line. Running Back Sony Michel then came onto the field with seven minutes left in the game and plunged his way into the end zone, giving the Patriots a 10-3 lead following the extra point.

Los Angeles got the football and started to drive their way back down field. In field goal range, Goff decided to throw a ball up in the air towards the 10-yard line, when New England defensive back Stephon Gilmore leaped up and grabbed the ball for an interception. The pick gave the Patriots the ball back with four minutes left on the clock, holding onto a 10-3 lead.

New England made their way down the field and found themselves in field goal range on fourth down and inches.

Patriots kicker, Stephen Gostkowski, drilled a 41yard field goal to give New England a larger lead, 13-3, with just over a minute left on the game clock.

The Rams made a last second attempt at a comeback but were unsuccessful, giving the New England Patriots yet another Super Bowl win.

The Patriots have now won three out of the last five

Super Bowl games, and are now tied with the Steelers for most Super Bowl victories by a single franchise, with six, according to the Patriots official website.

The dominance by the New England Patriots of the National Football League continues. This could be the last season that they are contenders if Brady retires, or Brady could stick around and the Patriots could take the NFL by storm for five more years, who knows.

What we do know is that with this victory, Brady, head coach Bill Belichick and the Patriots have cemented their legacy in the NFL even more now. In my opinion, the only people that are actually rooting for the Patriots to dominate are the true, homegrown Patriots fans, every other fan base is patiently waiting for a new team to take the throne. @SamMedlinTTU

Fowler overcomes odd triple Pats beat Rams, 13-3, in lowest scoring Super Bowl bogey to win Phoenix Open SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Standing above a greenside bunker at TPC Scottsdale’s difficult par-4 11th hole, Rickie Fowler turned just in time to see his ball, one he had just placed after penalty, trickle into the water.

Fowler had already seen his share of bad luck at the Phoenix Open. Now balls were rolling into hazards on their own.

Unable to catch a break, Fowler took it upon himself to create his own.

Fowler shook off a bizarre triple bogey on No. 11 with clutch shots down the

stretch, finally winning the tournament Sunday that had twice eluded him.

“I didn’t think it would be easy, but the way I was playing this week, I thought it would have been easier,” Fowler said. “It was kind of grind it out. I had a couple of tough breaks and had to deal with the punches — a couple big ones — but it feels good now.”

After a pair of 64s and a 65, Fowler shot 3-over 74 in the final round on a soggy Sunday at TPC Scottsdale, highest by a winner in tournament history.

ATLANTA (AP) — Defenses dominated what was supposed to be a super shootout until Tom Brady led one classic drive to win the New England Patriots their record-tying sixth Super Bowl.

Brady threw two perfect passes to Rob Gronkowski to set up rookie Sony Michel’s 2-yard score — the only touchdown in the lowestscoring Super Bowl ever.

That put New England up 10-3. A late field goal clinched the win over the Rams 13-3.

In a season in which all sorts of offensive records were set, this Super Bowl rewrote the defensive record book.

“Finally got a touchdown and the defense played the best game of the year,” Brady said.

No Super Bowl had gone into the fourth quarter without a touchdown. This one did, tied 3-3 — even though these teams combined to average over 60 points a game.

When the Patriots needed a score, Brady, the oldest winning quarterback in a Super Bowl at 41, completed four straight passes, including a pair covering 47 yards to Gronkowski. The second , on which the star tight end beat two defenders, ended at the Los Angeles 2, the only time either team was inside

the 20-yard line. Michel ran off left tackle for his sixth postseason touchdown.

“He knows to trust in me and throw that ball,” Gronkowski said, “and I’m going to grab it.”

Julian Edelman, the outstanding receiver who missed the 2017 season with a knee injury, was the game’s MVP with 10 receptions for 141 yards.

With 4:17 left, All-Pro Stephon Gilmore picked off an ill-advised pass by Rams quarterback Jared Goff, who seemed overwhelmed by the big stage all night, at the New England 2.

Stephen Gostkowski made a 41-yard field goal with 1:12 remaining, completing a 72-yard march that took more than three minutes off the clock and included 26-yard runs by Michel and Rex Burkhead.

It was a workmanlike conclusion for the Patriots (14-5), whose losses all came away from New England.

They beat the top two offenses in the Chiefs and Rams (15-4) in the postseason, and tied Pittsburgh for most Super Bowl titles.

The Patriots were terrific all game on defense, allowing the fewest points in a Super Bowl (tied with Dallas in 1972 against Miami).

“We’re a relentless team,” linebacker Dont’a Hightower said. “We didn’t give up. A lot was thrown at us. When we play like we did tonight, we can’t be beat.”

The Rams, who reached the NFL championship game with the aid of a major officiating error in the conference title victory at New Orleans, never really threatened to reach the end zone.

“Last time I checked, defense wins championships,” Rams running back C.J. Anderson said.

At 66, Bill Belichick became the oldest winning Super Bowl coach. The Patriots beat the Rams, then representing St. Louis, to begin their dynastic run in the 2002 game. They also have beaten Carolina and Philadelphia (2004 and ‘05, the last repeater); the Seahawks in 2015; and the Falcons in 2017 in the only overtime in Super Bowl history.

They have lost three times, including to Philadelphia a year ago. New England is the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to win a Super Bowl the year after losing one.

How the Patriots accomplished it was atypical. The 10-point margin was their biggest in winning a championship.

Brady, who has won four Super Bowl MVP trophies, wasn’t particularly sharp — except when throwing to Edelman. He was the steadiest offensive player on the field, finishing with 10 catches for 141 yards.

“It just matters that we won,” Edelman said. “It was a crazy year. We had a resilient bunch of guys.”

Brady passed Charles Haley to become the only player with six Super Bowl titles.

All those suspicions about the Patriots declining this season became moot as the defense made the 24-year-old Goff look awful and turned All-Pro running back Todd Gurley into a nonfactor.

While it was anything but odd to see New England celebrate a championship, the manner it earned this one was startling. The 2 1/2-point favorite Patriots moved the ball well, ran down the clock, but made uncharacteristic gaffes on offense. Goff and the Rams made more.

LA’s second-ranked offense managed just 57 total yards for the half. The Rams were completely overmatched on the line and were particularly unable to handle the elusive Edelman, who had seven receptions for 93 yards.

Big 12 race heats up heading into final month Kansas made a late-season push to clinch its record 14th straight Big 12 title a year ago.

The Jayhawks may need a similar run to make it 15 in a row.

The Big 12 race has tightened up heading into the final month of the regular season, with five teams within a game of the lead.

The 11th-ranked Jayhawks are looking up in the standings after splitting their two games last week.

“We’ve just got to kind of figure it out. We’re a different team than we were a few weeks ago,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “It doesn’t mean worse. It doesn’t mean better. It means different.

But we’ve got to figure it out.

We haven’t played well this last couple of weeks.”

CARR

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 In her first game in the scarlet and black, Carr came out and scored more than 19 points, and it only went up from there. Carr hit her 16th consecutive doubledigit game of the season against No. 12 Texas.

In 14 of her 16 doubledigit games, she has not put less than 19 points on the board. Along with a big scoring game, Carr broke a school record and tied another school record in the same night.

She broke a 24-year-old record for the most threepoint attempts made in a single game with 21. This record was previously set

by Noel Johnson in the 1993-94 season, according to Tech Athletics. In the same matchup, Carr tied a 14-year-old school record for most three-pointers made with nine.

“I was just shooting the ball, I was feeling it,” Carr said. “I knew when I was on (the court) I had to keep shooting and everything and it was just fun to me. That game, I was just playing.”

Following the recordbreaking night, Carr was named Big 12 Freshman of the Week for the first time.

As the season progressed, she has earned three more

of the same Big 12 honors.

She is the first rookie to win four weekly honors since the 2015-16 season.

Earning that award was exciting, Carr said, and something she did not expect.

Having her teammates and Tech basketball family surrounding her in that moment made it that much better, she said.

“I knew I was capable of it, but it didn’t cross my mind, ‘Yeah, I’m going to get Big 12 Freshman of the Week,’” Carr said. “So, it was shocking, when (Coach Marlene Stollings) told me, my mouth literally dropped, I was like, ‘Oh my god, I was just shocked.’”

In the same week of earning her first Big 12 weekly honor, Carr became the first Lady Raider and seventh Big 12 athlete to be named the USWBA National Freshman of the Week.

“They said I was the first Lady Raider to do that and I was just like, ‘Wow, National Freshman of the Week,’ that’s crazy and insane,” Carr said. “It’s just amazing to be a part of.”

With the Lady Raiders being halfway through the season and Carr having accomplished quite a bit already, she said one of her goals for the remainder of the season is to make it to post season and personally to be a better leader of the floor for

her teammates.

“Getting my teammates involved in taking the right shots and not settling for taking the easy way out and being comfortable,” Carr said. “I have to learn to be uncomfortable.”

The Lady Raiders started the season strong, but once the team entered conference play they have not been able to secure the wins they were hoping for.

They have found themselves leading most of the game, but their intensity dwindled down in the final quarter, resulting in a loss.

To secure that second Big 12 win, Carr said upping the intensity in the fourth quarter and talking to each other, motivating one another and knowing what each person’s roles on the court are in those final minutes are what the team needs to focus on.

“We have to play for 40 minutes plus, not just think the game is just going to be 40 minutes,” Carr said. “You have to think this game could be more, you have to give more every second, every time at a high level. You can’t just play your heart out for three quarters and in the fourth give up because you think you’re going to win the game.”

Although they haven’t found those wins at home, the fan base plays a big part

in the role of the games for the Lady Raiders. With a bigger fan base than Tech has seen in the last couple of seasons, Carr said she is thankful for the people who come out and support the team.

“Just knowing that even though it’s not going our way or in our favor right now in the game, they’re still behind us and supporting us,” Carr said. “We couldn’t thank the fans enough for that.”

Coming into her freshman season, Carr said she had no idea she would find this much success, having already broken several school records and earning multiple awards.

“I thought I was just going to come in here, play my role, do what I had to do,” Carr said. “But honestly I didn’t expect all of this my freshman year.” @DaniDixsonDT ADRIAN ROMERO/ he Daily Toreador

Celtics outlast Thunder, 134-129 BOSTON (AP) — Kyrie Irving had 30 points and 11 assists, Marcus Morris scored 19 points, and the Boston Celtics snapped the Oklahoma City Thunder’s league-best seven-game win streak with a 134-129 victory Sunday.

Marcus Smart added 18 points and seven assists, Al Horford scored 17 points and Daniel Theis had 14 off the Celtics bench.

Boston has won four straight since falling short against Golden State on Jan. 26 and nine of its last 10 games overall.

Paul George scored 37 points and Russell Westbrook notched his 19th tripledouble of the season with 22 points, 16 assists and 12 rebounds for the Thunder.

Steven Adams and Dennis Schroeder each had 16

points for Oklahoma City, and Jerami Grant scored 15.

Oklahoma City suffered its first loss since a 138-128 overtime setback against the Los Angeles Lakers on Jan. 17.

Westbrook made two free throws to pull Oklahoma City within 127-125 with 45.9 seconds remaining after Boston had led by six with 1:27 to go.

Irving’s driving fingerroll with 23.3 seconds left put Boston up by four, but Grant answered with a 3-pointer to bring the Thunder within 129-128.

Oklahoma City squandered a chance to take the lead after Jayson Tatum missed one of two free throws. Irving stripped Westbrook with 8.1 seconds on the clock and got the ball back to Tatum, who sealed the win at the line.

The Thunder opened the second half on an 18-7 run to pull ahead 76-73 with 7:53 left in the third quarter.

Morris tied it at 76 with a 3-pointer and Smart hit back-to-back 3s to spark an 18-6 run that put Boston back up by double figures.

The Celtics led 99-93 going into the fourth.

TIP-INS Thunder: George has made at least two 3-pointers in 31 straight games. ... Oklahoma City enjoyed its best offensive month in franchise history in January, averaging 120.6 points and 44.1 made field goals while going 9-5.

F Abdel Nader (illness) did not play in his return to Boston. Nader, a 2016 second-round draft pick of the Celtics, averaged 3.0 points in 48 games as a rookie last season with Boston.

TRACK & FIELD

Young Red Raiders shine in Texas Tech Open

By NOAH MICIOTTO Staff Writer

The Texas Tech track and field program concluded its annual Texas Tech Open meet on Saturday, Feb. 2 in the Sports Performance Center with only a few Red Raiders seeing action throughout the two-day event.

Where the Red Raiders lacked in number of competitors, they made up for in performance quality.

With nine personal records and three first place finishes throughout the weekend, it is plain to see Tech has talent dispersed throughout its entire roster. With the younger Red Raiders competing at such a high level, it allows Tech director of track and field and cross country Wes Kittley to rest some of the other athletes for Big 12 competition.

A new addition to the talented Tech squad is freshman decathlete Alex Hubert. On day one of the meet, Hubert, a native of France, PR’d during his Red Raider debut in the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.04s, according to Tech Athletics.

Hubert also competed in high jump during day two of the meet. Fellow freshman

jumper Jack Cissne took fifth place overall in the event with a leap clearing the 6’-7.5” (2.02m) mark, according to Tech Athletics.

The women’s team also had some top-notch performances over the weekend, highlighted by sophomore sprinter and hurdler Kaylor Harris’ first place finish in the 60m hurdles. Harris, a native of Mesquite, clocked a time of 8.47s to claim her first victory of the 2019 season, according to Tech Athletics.

With the younger athletes stepping up, the more experienced athletes on the team exit their typical role as competitors and begin aiding their teammates while resting. Kittley provided insight on keeping his team focused and locked in.

“We really want to peak our athletes at the right time,” Kittley said, “but we love to see how bad they want to compete.”

Health and overall physical wellness is an aspect of the sport Tech focuses heavily on, as Tech only sent 31 Red Raiders into action over the weekend. With only two meets remaining before conference play begins, Tech aims to have full contribution

throughout the roster.

Though the jumpers and sprinters certainly had a big weekend, Tech’s vaulters and throwers give the program what it needs to remain at the top – success in field events. Fortunately, graduate student Duke Kicinski has the experience and skill required to fulfill that role.

Kicinski concluded the Texas Tech Open atop the shot put leader board with a launch measuring 58’-2.5” (17.74m), according to Tech Athletics.

Junior jumper/vaulter Chinne Okoronkwo gives a large boost to Tech’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with. The transfer from Wisconsin is amongst the top-three Big 12 contenders in three separate events: first place in pole vault, second in triple jump and third in long jump, according to Tech Athletics.

With the Red Raiders firing on all cylinders, Tech is in a good position moving forward. Tech will return to action in its annual Texas Tech Shootout, set to begin at 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8, in the Sports Performance Center. @NoahMiciotto

The Texas Tech soccer team sings the “Matador Song” after playing Pepperdine on Sunday, Aug. 19, 2018, at the John Walker Soccer Complex. Tech will host three games during the spring season.

The Red Raiders look to play six games during their spring season including a match against a National Women’s Soccer League team, the Houston Dash.

The spring schedule for Texas Tech Soccer was recently announced by head coach Tom Stone. The schedule consists of six matches including games against the defending SEC Champion LSU and the Houston Dash of the National Women’s Soccer League.

Stone said he scheduled challenging games for the Red Raiders including a professional team in the Houston Dash, a conference champion in LSU and Big 12 second-round team in TCU, according to the release.

The spring season will kick off by the Red Raiders playing West Texas A&M and Abilene Christian on the same day which is a great opportunity for players who are fighting for more playing time to showcase what they have.

The Red Raiders have already completed their first week of practices as well as undergone fitness tests and conditioning, ac-

cording to the release.

With the limitations the NCAA has, Stone said it puts the team in a position where they have to be economical during an eight-hour span, according to the release. Because of this, the coaches are spotlighting the technique of the players.

Coaches are only allowed to be involved in practices for a limited time in the spring, so Stone said self-improvement and extra training is important, according to the release.

The players have a lot of training that needs to be done outside of team practice to develop different aspects of their game, Stone said according to the release, and if they work on them like last year it will give the team the foundation to have a great season.

Tech will start its spring schedule at home on March 9 with matches against both West Texas A&M at 10:30 a.m. and Abilene Christian at 4 p.m., according to the release.

A few months after the Red Raiders denied the Horned Frogs from winning the Big 12 Championship in Kansas City with penalty kicks after a 0-0 draw, Tech will start its three-game away stretch at 1 p.m. March 9 against TCU,

according to the release.

Tech will continue its road trip to play the Houston Dash at 2 p.m. March 30, according to the release. The Dash recently drafted Janine Beckie and Caity Heap, who are former Red Raiders, finishing its 2018 season with a 9-10-5 record and placing sixth in the NWSL league standings.

In their last match away from home in the spring slate, the Red Raiders will play LSU at 3 p.m. April 13 in Bossier City, Louisiana, according to the release. LSU became 2018 SEC Champions after beating Arkansas with penalty kicks. As the Red Raiders did, the Tigers went to the second round of the NCAA Tournament but were sent home by No. 6 USC. The Red Raiders will end their spring campaign at home against New Mexico at 2 p.m. April 20. The two teams faced off in Tech’s 2018 home opener and the Red Raiders beat the Lobos, 2-0, according to the release.

In the last month of the 2018 season, the Lobos didn’t lose a single match, including a win over San Diego State for the Mountain West Conference championship with a score of 3-1. @MaxHengstDT
