Dustin Garrett and Don Caldwell answer questions from the media about Orestes “West” Garza during a news conference at the Cactus Theater on Monday.

The event was put on to remember Garza and his life after he died Sunday evening after a shooting at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church.

CAMPUS

Orestes “West” Garza, 51, died just after 8:30 p.m. Sunday evening at University Medical Center after a shooting at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church, located at 2316 Broadway, according to a Lubbock AvalancheJournal article.

Garza was a local musician who regularly performed at the Cactus Theater and the Mean Woman Grill in Lubbock.

Garza had also performed the national anthem with “Rocks and Stones” before a Red Raider basketball game in 2015, according to his Facebook. The Daily Toreador reached out to Tech Athletics to confirm, but they do not keep records of performers from a year ago, Matt Dunaway, sports information director, said.

Ross Raedeke, a bass player at the Cactus Theater, said Garza left an impact that will last forever.

Jane Prince Jones, who has

worked with Garza multiple times at the Cactus Theater, said Garza is being remembered as an undercover angel and one of the funniest people she has ever known.

“He gave us courage, wisdom, humility, perseverance, compassion, love and hope. He showed us how we should all live life with no regret,” Dustin Garrett, a friend and coworker of Garza, said. “Until his last breath, he lived with no regrets.”

Tech Talks Sex

Risk Intervention, Safety Education office hosts first ‘Sex Week’ on campus

By EASTON WOLLNEY Staff Writer

Texas Tech is hosting its first “Sex Week,” from Monday through Friday to increase awareness about sexual education and health on campus.

Kimberly Simón, director of the Risk Intervention and Safety Education office on campus, said with Valentine’s Day and spring break approaching, it is a good time to talk about sexual health on campus.

“It’s a good platform for us to be able to say ‘here are the services that our office provides all the time,’” Simón said.

The week is aimed at students from all ends of the spectrum, she said, from students who are abstinent to students who are sexually active, and there is something offered this week for everybody.

Tech ranked low on the 2015 Trojan Sex Health Report Card, with a ranking of 134 out of 140 schools, according to the Trojan website.

The RISE office had not

“Everyone’s kind of acknowledged that we need to talk more about this (sex) on campus,” Simón said.

Also throughout the week, she said activities to promote

a healthy body image will be hosted, such as a sexy hip-hop class at the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center.

Voice of Hope Rape Crisis Center to host advocate training On Tuesday morning, Voice of Hope Rape Crisis Center will be hosting a 40-hour attorney general certified training to become a sexual assault advocate in the state of Texas.

Certified volunteers will be able to volunteer to work on crisis hotlines and become an advocate for the surrounding areas, Leslie Timmons, community educator and volunteer coordinator for Voice of Hope, said. All advocates have to be 18 years or older and have to pass a criminal

background check.

The training will have nine sessions and include guest speakers, she said. In order to be fully certified, attendees must attend all nine sessions.

“This is specifically for people that want to volunteer for us,” Timmons said, “that want to maybe be an advocate and things like that.”

Advocate responsibilities include being present for victims of sexual assault while they are at the hospital, she said. The volunteers

stay throughout the forensic exams victims go through and help write a report that will later be turned in to a law enforcement official.

Once a person has become a volunteer for the organization, they then have the choice of becoming on-call advocates who follow through with the duties aforementioned, Timmons said.

Vo i c e o f H o p e h o s t s these training sessions every spring, Timmons said, and this is about the 10th year it has done this.

On average, one-third of the people who attend are Texas Tech students.

“We’ve been providing services for sexual as-

sault victims since 1975,” she said. “We’re the ones that are called out when a victim goes to UMC or Covenant or Covenant

Children’s (Hospital) and we also have our 24-hour sexual assault hotline.”

their campus communities, according to its website.

During an eight week period each spring, colleges across the U.S. and Canada report the amount of recycling and trash collected each week and are then ranked in various categories.

These categories are based on who recycles the most on a per capita basis, as well as which schools have the best recycling rate as a percentage of total waste and which schools generate the least amount of combined trash and recycling, according to the website.

In addition to participating in the competition, Tech also makes other efforts to promote recycling and serve as a sustainable campus.

“We’ll be tabling outside of the SUB, recycling at basketball games, doing an electronics drive and pairing with CUTE club for a couple of events,” Julia Peña, a marketing and sustainability intern for Tech Housing, said.

Tech is one of the few locations in Lubbock that offers recycling. It offers multiple types of recycling, such as glass, paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, aluminum and

Styrofoam recycling.

On-campus students can recycle by placing items in the blue and green bins located on each floor of the residence halls. Any offcampus student, faculty or staff wanting to recycle can do it by going to the Tech Recycling Center on campus as long as they keep plastic and paper separate as it can contaminate.

In addition, Styrofoam bricks are now being used with the construction of the new buildings on campus, Peña said. They are recycled Styrofoam that has been turned into hollow bricks. The bricks are then filled with concrete as they are used for construction.

The Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration, Bayer CropScience and West Village Residence Hall all used the bricks during construction.

Another sustainability effort is Tech’s water program.

“We have refillable water stations around campus. Students can just stick one of their empty water bottles under, fill it up, and it’s good to go,” she said. “It reduces the amount of water that we use in water fountains and encourages using a

reusable water bottle.”

Tech is constantly making efforts to get students involved and make the campus as a whole more sustainable, Peña said.

“I think it’s important for students to participate because recycling is becoming a big thing. Taking care of the Earth and taking care of the planet

has always been a mission of mine,” Peña said.

Kenny Williams, a freshman engineering major from Missouri City, said not recycling can lead to negative effects in the future.

“I personally don’t recycle, but I have noticed many efforts made on campus in order to be sustainable,” Williams said. “I noticed it

a lot when I was moving in.”

Navy Butler, a freshman nutrition major from Midland, said recycling and sustainability efforts are important.

“I regularly use the refillable water stations around campus,” Butler said. “I think being sustainable is very important.”

“West played anything.

If you pitched a song to him, he did it right,” Caldwell said. “I guarantee he is irreplaceable.

He’ll never be duplicated.”

Camille DeWinne, a senior, attends St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church and was at the church during the shooting, and she said 75 to 90 people

were inside the church while it was put on lockdown immediately after the shooting.

People immediately started calling the police and they, along with EMS, arrived within five minutes. They were treating it as an active shooter, DeWinne said.

“You don’t expect that to happen at your church,”

she said, “at a place that is supposed to be your place of worship and sanctuary.”

Fifty-five-year-old Pete Garcia is the suspect of the Sunday evening shooting. Garcia never entered Tech’s campus or posed a threat to the on-campus community, according to a previous article in The DT.

He left the crime scene at approximately 6 p.m. heading southbound on 19th Street but was arrested in Levelland on a murder charge Sunday night, according to an Everything Lubbock article.

He is in custody at the Hockley County Jail.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Don Caldwell, operator of a Lubbock recording studio and CEO of the Cactus Theater, said Garza was known for bringing a wonderful thing to all of his shows and performances.

Activists to demonstrate against Baylor WACO (AP) — Activists planned a candlelight vigil Monday night outside the home of Baylor University’s president to protest what they regard as the university’s weak policing of sexual misconduct, particularly by student athletes.

The prayer vigil follows an ESPN report earlier this month about three students who said the Southern Baptist-affiliated university in Waco failed to act on allegations that they were sexually assaulted by a former football player later convicted in one of those cases.

The group Survivor ’s

Stand was promoting the Monday night vigil and urged sexual assault survivors or those who know one to gather outside Albritton House on the Baylor campus.

Policies regarding Baylor’s compliance with federal requirements that it address and prevent sexual harassment “are inconsistently followed and, at times, ignored altogether. Perpetrators are repeatedly allowed to go free due to these shortcomings.

This makes our campus unsafe,” the group said in an online statement Monday.

In a letter Sunday, Baylor President Kenneth

Starr said university leaders’ “hearts break for those whose lives are impacted by execrable acts of sexual violence.” He also noted that Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton, which Baylor hired, is conducting an outside review of the university’s response to reports of sexual violence. When the review is complete, “we will determine how best to share the firm’s recommendations,” Starr said.

Starr also wrote that federal privacy laws and related requirements by the U.S. Department of Education have prevented Baylor from

being forthcoming with past reports of sexual violence against students.

Starr’s letter came hours after the release of a letter signed by more than 1,300 Baylor alumni, students, faculty, staff and family of students. That letter said: “Baylor students deserve more than mere assurances by administration officials that the university is doing its part. Accordingly, we respectfully insist that the University promptly take action to improve its responses to sexual assault — and publicly state what those will be. This is about

more than compliance with the university’s regulatory obligations.”

Baylor alumna Laura Seay, now assistant professor of government at Colby College in Maine, said Starr’s letter is “disappointing” and “doesn’t tell us anything we don’t already know.”

She said the university is hiding behind privacy laws in not addressing the issue candidly.

“I think the pattern is undermining the identity that we’re distinctively a Christian university,” Seay said of Baylor.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is asking Congress for more than $1.8 billion in emergency funding to fight the Zika virus and the mosquitoes that spread it here and abroad, but says “there shouldn’t be a panic on this.”

The virus is spreading rapidly through Latin America. While most people experience either mild or no symptoms, Zika is suspected of causing a devastating birth defect — babies born with abnormally small heads — and pregnant Americans are urged to avoid travel to affected areas.

U.S. health officials say the money is critical for research into the birth d efect k nown as microcephaly. They also want to speed development of a vaccine and better diagnostic tests, and expand mosquito control programs. Some of the money would also aid Zika-stricken countries and territories.

“What we now know is that there appears to be some significant risk for pregnant women and women who are thinking a b o u t h a v i n g a b a b y, ” Obama said in an interview aired Monday on “CBS This Morning.”

And while experts don’t expect large outbreaks in the continental U.S., the emergency funding also

would help them prepare for any local transmission as spring and summer approach. The administration is seeking the Zika money separately from the regular budget for the next fiscal year, which Obama will submit to Congress on Tuesday.

“For the average American, this is not something that will change our day-to-day life,” Dr. Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told reporters at a White House briefing. “Our focus is on protecting pregnant women and trying to control the mosquito.”

Most of the money would go to health officials for such things as improving laboratory testing capacity, education and establishing rapid response teams. About $250 million of assistance would be directed specifically to Puerto Rico though extra Medicaid funding for health services, and $200 million would go toward research and commercialization of new vaccines and diagnostic tests.

The remainder, about $335 million would go to the U.S. Agency for International Development to help affected countries provide training to health workers, stimulate private sector research and help pregnant women

gain access to repellant to protect against mosquitoes.

Also Monday, the CDC said its emergency operations center, a command center that has been coordinating the Zika response, was being put on its highest level of alert.

The Pan American Health Organization reports 26 countries and territories in South and Central America and the Caribbean with local Zika transmission. To date, there has been no transmission of the Zika virus by mosquitoes within the U.S., but some American travelers — 50 with laboratory-confirmed cases between December and last week — have returned home with the infection.

One case in Texas is believed to have been transmitted through sex, and last week officials in Brazil, hard-hit by Zika, reported finding the virus in saliva and urine.

That doesn’t necessarily mean Zika can spread through those body fluids, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. Fauci said the main focus is on mosquitoes.

Zika usually is transmitted through bites from the Aedes aegypti species, which is found in Florida, along the Gulf Coast and in states that border Mex-

ico. Fauci noted that those same mosquitoes spread dengue and chikungunya, cousins of Zika, and there has been some local transmission of those viruses in recent years. Some of the emergency funding would help the government prepare for any similar local transmission of Zika.

On Tuesday, administration officials are to brief Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and other congressional leaders on the administration’s Zika prevention and response plan.

“Concern about the Zika virus is growing in our country,” said McConnell, adding that protecting constituents, especially children, “is a high priority for all of us.”

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader in the House, said that Con gress should act swiftly to strengthen the response t o “ Z i k a ’s d i s t r e s s i n g spread.” But she also said the measure should include funding to address the water problems in Flint, Michigan. Efforts to expand the scope of the emergency spending bill could make it harder to pass.

“We have a moral responsibility to be there for the thousands of children who have already been exposed to unconscionable levels of lead,” Pelosi said.

Organization helps non-traditional students

By MICHAELA BAYSINGER Staff Writer

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute was founded in 1977 by Bernard Osher and Barbro O s h e r. T h e c h a p t e r i n Lubbock was established in 2003, according to the OLLI catalog.

There are 119 OLLI institutes nationwide and only two in the state of Texas, said Intern Director Donnette Sabins.

Anyone 50 or older may join OLLI. Members pay $35 for a membership fee and also the cost of classes.

Memberships are good from

September to July. OLLI offers at least 50 classes every fall and spring for its members to attend, according to the OLLI catalog.

“There are eight classes just this next week,” Sabins said.

The OLLI curriculum changes every semester.

“There is such a variety of programs offered for the OLLI members,” Jane Nagy, the chair elect of the advisory board, said. “It’s great that we have classes toward the future, with robotics and significant intelligence.

But, we are also looking into the past. We do all kinds of things, ranging from tech-

nology to the fine arts. You should always be learning something new all the time.”

An extremely popular offering is classes on different computers such as Macs, iPhones, tablets and Windows PCs, using the cloud effectively, and apps for everyday life, Nagy said.

There is going to be a class next semester over how to use Facebook and other social media platforms.

Classes range from The Hidden Treasures of Korean Art, a class showing Korea’s past and present achievements that are not well known and how the country was able to become the sixth

BLOTTER

largest exporting country in the world, to Don’t be a Beer Caught in the Headlights: A Study of Elevated Food and Beer Pairings a class over history of different craft beers and pairing them with different types of food including taste testing and recipes, Sabins said.

“The Hidden Treasures of Korean Art is one of the free classes and it is even open to guests to come and participate in. It is a way to show thanks for the United States taking part in the Korean War,” Sabins said.

OLLI classes are taught by professors at Texas Tech and business leaders of

Lubbock, according to the OLLI catalog.

“Students would get to know just how necessary and fun that learning is from being in the OLLI program,” Nagy said. “People never want to stop learning.”

Recruiting for the OLLI program includes marketing to the Tech alumni and the staff and faculty of Tech.

OLLI offers classes in the evening as well. A lot of the Tech students might have parents or relatives in the South Plains that may like to go to OLLI “2003 had 500 members, membership dwindled and is uprising at this year

with about 670 members,” Nagy said. “We are getting members daily. We are hoping to be at 1,000 this time next year.”

OLLI does not just offer academic benefits but OLLI also provides a very safe and interesting space for people to meet and make friends, Nagy said.

“OLLI is a very fun program,” Sabins said. “OLLI is just like a big family.”

The OLLI office is located in the McKenzieMerket Alumni Center. It is open Monday-Thursday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m.- noon. @MBaysingerDT

Many chemicals used in Texas fracking

HOUSTON (AP) — For the past five years, biochemist Zac Hildenbrand has investigated potential links between unconventional drilling and water quality, collecting thousands of samples throughout the major shale plays in Texas.

Some of the results, he said, are worrisome. As part of a collaboration with researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington, Hildenbrand has identified water wells with high levels of chlorinated solvents, alcohols and compounds commonly found in petroleum products.

Hildenbrand also has come across more “exotic” molecules in his research, he said. But his efforts to identify some of them have been hampered by what critics describe as a “loophole” in a state law requiring companies to publicly disclose the ingredients in their hydraulic fracturing fluid.

The Texas law allows companies to withhold specific

chemicals by labeling them as proprietary. Operators in Texas have invoked the exemption to shield, at least partly, the identities of more

than 170,000 ingredients from when the law took effect in February 2012 through April, an analysis of the disclosure records shows.

A Texas Tech professor will serve as the chairwoman of the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities Council on Engagement and Outreach.

Valerie Paton, professor of educational psychology, was named to the position Monday, according to a Tech news release.

The council helps universities connect with their communities through outreach and public service, according to its website.

“APLU places a high value on university efforts to be engaged with stakeholders so we can work in partnership to tackle societal challenges, create

great places to work and live and advance economic growth and prosperity,” Jim Woodell, vice president for economic development and community engagement for APLU, said in the release. “We are excited to have Valerie’s leadership on the Council on Engagement and Outreach, which plays a significant role in supporting effective community engagement by our member universities.”

Paton is the College of Education’s program coordinator for the doctorate in higher education research, according to the release, and Tech recognized her as an integrated scholar in 2011.

As chairwoman, Paton works with higher education leaders to support their initiatives, according to the release.

“Texas Tech is recognized as a leader in partnerships with its communities, and this appointment recognizes that fact,” Paton said in the release.

“As chair, I have the opportunity to work with North American public universities partnering with their communities to address their most significant concerns: food, water, health, families, education, economic development and workforce, power, safety, culture and arts.” @DailyToreador

Lynch retirement announcement lacked class

O

n Sunday during Super Bowl 50, Marshawn Lynch announced his retirement from the NFL. Lynch announcing his retirement shook the NFL and fans all around the world.

He simply announced his decision by posting a picture of his Seahawk-green cleats hanging from a wire with a peace sign emoji.

Lynch’s agent later confirmed “Beast Mode’s” decision to The Associated Press.

Now, the NFL, its fans and its experts are reacting to the timing of his announcement.

Seahawks players, such as Russell Wilson, congratulated the 29-year-old running back. However, other fans announced that Lynch’s timing was a “Marshawn” thing to do.

Brandon Soliz is The DT’s sports editor and a sophomore journalism major from Big Spring

He is known for his stature and his physical play on the field, but off the field he is known for his attitude and say-nothing pressers.

Before the Super Bowl adventure in 2013, Seattle and Lynch have had a rocky relationship since his arrival.

The biggest thing was contract disputes throughout his time in Seattle, especially in the year after the title.

He sat out of practice and threatened to not participate in team events without a

new contract. The famous line, “I’m just here so I won’t get fined,” was said by Lynch in a news conference before Super Bowl 49 last year and displayed what Lynch really thought about his job and his attitude with the other outside components that comes with playing in the league.

I believe that Lynch tweeted out his announcement during the biggest game of the year to display what he truly believes about his career that lasted nine years.

He wants to be in the limelight even in the game displaying the best talent of the year.

Super Bowl 49 averaged about 111.5 million viewers, according to sportingcharts. com, and with the hype of both the Panthers and the

Broncos, I assume that number more than likely increased this year.

Lynch could have waited to announce his retirement sometime after the Super Bowl in the offseason but wanted to take the Internet by storm and released it during the golden year of the NFL. However, Lynch did have a stellar career with a total of 2,144 rushing attempts, 9,112 rushing yards, which ranks at No. 36 in NFL history, and 74 career touchdowns, which is tied at No. 24 all-time.

With those numbers, Lynch could have shown class and let the two teams display their importance on a day set for them, instead of trying to steal the show. sports@dailytoreador.com

pon first hearing of the Martin Shkreli scandal, one can’t help but automatically hate him. Infamous for raising the price of Daraprim by 5,000 percent, (according to Bloomberg’s article “Drug Maker Turing Suggests It Won’t Cut List Price of Daraprim” by Robert Langreth), Shkreli has also been arrested for fraud, though he denies all charges.

However big this story of Shkreli may appear, there is an even bigger message some may be missing.

According to “Shkreli, Drug Price Gouger, Denies Fraud and Posts Bail” by Christie Smith and Keri Geiger on the Bloomberg Business website, Shkreli was raised in the working class part of Brooklyn by his immigrant parents, the exact beginning to any other American Dream story. However, Shkreli’s story went in a very different direction.

In an interview with Bloomberg, according to Langreth’s article, Shkreli says Daraprim has always been affordable and is still affordable even after the 5,000 percent increase and potential 50 percent discount. When Shkreli is asked to expand on this he smugly laughs and refuses, saying he has already talked about it. If it were really so simple, people wouldn’t be so pressing about the matter.

Later on in the interview, Shkreli talks about his takeover of the company KaloBios and how he plans on using his money to advance research for specific drugs that this company had. If he was telling the truth about using the money to advance research, Shkreli could’ve been a great Robin Hood figure. However, instead of taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor, he demands money from anyone and doesn’t necessarily do much with it. Researching into other drugs could save lives and is a great way to use someone else’s money, but Shkreli hasn’t proven he is doing anything like that.

He has been accused of lying to his investors and making up numbers, according to the

Emma Martinez is a sophomore English major from Odessa.

Bloomberg article.

Shkreli’s $2 million purchase of the Wu Tang Clan’s “unheard, one-of-a-kind album,” according to Kelefa Sanneh’s article “Everyone Hates Martin Shkreli. Everyone is Missing the Point” on The New Yorker’s website, is very misleading. In this article, Sanneh writes it’s been claimed, “that hospitals and insurance companies will pay, while patients who can’t afford it will get a discount, or get it for free.” But what would motivate hospitals to pay so much money for a drug to treat a disease as rare as Shkreli says it is? If a hospital’s budget comes down to choosing between Daraprim and another drug for more common use, they would most likely choose the other drug.

Sanneh writes about how Shkreli isn’t really after money because he could’ve done the same thing and been more successful without all of the media coverage. Sanneh writes, “but Shkreli seems intent on proving a point about money and medicine.”

However, Shkreli has also made a fortune off of the backs of sick people across the nation, which clearly hurts his intention to prove a point to American citizens.

Instead of helping advance research, all Shkreli has done is dig himself a nice, deep grave and now he is trying to cover it up. Like Robin Hood, he puts himself in a position close to those in charge, but unlike Robin Hood he keeps the profits to himself while claiming he’s all about the needy. He constantly talks about pleasing his investors, which is important when they’re helping with research for groundbreaking drugs, but Shkreli hasn’t had anything to show for it. emartinez@dailytoreador.com

COLUMN

Students should avoid overcommitting time with student organizations, clubs

A

bout seven minutes late, I walked into a nearly empty lecture hall. At least one-third of the room’s population was on stage, watching their club’s president click halfheartedly through a slideshow. As they — very originally — promised their club would help us make the most of our college career, I wondered how on earth adding to our already precariously balanced workloads could lead to success. If life were a giant game of Jenga, I would admire their strategy, however, I don’t think our goal is to cause towers of time commitments to crumble.

Becoming increasingly preoccupied with shackling free time to a post of productivity, our society has eliminated the comfort in being casually committed and replaced it with a shout to “step up.” It loudly suggests that without a schedule

Avery Aiken is a freshman communications studies major from The Woodlands.

full of club meetings, intramural tennis matches and internships, we might all end up in our parents’ basements, fingers covered in Cheetos powder.

So, in order to make sure that we aren’t headed down that path, we join clubs, train for intramurals and apply for internships. We fill every second of our schedules with whatever we can justify participating in and sigh with relief, admiring all the extracurricular activities that stand between that dreaded basement door and us.

However, while this might lead to a very involved com-

munity, it does not mean our involvement is high quality.

Modern college students are spread so thin that we can’t even find time to sleep and, as a result, our participation peters out until it is nearly nonexistent and entirely useless.

Because we can’t truly invest in any one thing, we are serving as lazy leaders and subpar team members. Therefore, when the most important factor in having a successful organization is effective teamwork, the organization’s quality plummets right along with our lack of appreciation for it.

Unfortunately, our sight has been pulled away from the real purpose of clubs and sports and jobs, but we can refocus it.

Instead of focusing on glorifying ourselves and boosting our resumes, we can focus on helping our organizations be something great. It is aggravating to sit

through meetings that don’t matter and to do work that exists just to fill time. However, we can provide those currently pointless tasks with a purpose.

Students’ first step should be to cut down our involvement to just the things we really care about. This allows us to be wholeheartedly committed to those things. When we place one of our organs, like our whole heart (metaphorically, of course), in something, it’s hard to be unengaged. In fact, we’ll find that our dedicated commitment to one thing is more valuable than having our hands in 12 different pots, so to say.

Next, we need to make sure we are focused on the success of the team, not on our own success. That will lead to a greater emphasis of principles like cooperation, compromise and creativity. When there is a team working toward the

same glorious goal of greatness, they find a way to get there, regardless of their own personal obstacles. Compromises are settled speedily and cooperation is the cornerstone.

On top of that, creativity flows more readily because of increased communication between team members and the comfort in knowing critiques will turn a brainstorm into brilliance. However, we must make sure not to foster an environment that provides platitudes freely and passes out pats on the back for participation. While encouragement and incentives are vital, empty encouragement is worse than strict scrutiny.

Conscious Magazine’s Edwin Henry reminded me the other day of this principle’s importance. This new magazine has been targeting topics they hope will set a fire in the hearts

of their readers, or “Conversation Starters.” And, in Henry’s column about the detriments of empty and unconditional praise, I realized this could be the biggest stumbling block our organizations encounter.

Because we are so concerned with protecting the individual, we forgot to acknowledge how it is affecting the team’s purpose.

As an organization, we need to put aside our personal pride and focus on promoting the mission of the team.

Being involved is not for our own benefit, but for whatever our involvement exists to benefit. Therefore, we must choose wisely how we spend our time. Instead of being concerned where we spend it, let’s be concerned with what we’ve accomplished, as a team, after it’s all been spent. aaiken@dailytoreador.com

Elizabeth Warren withholding important endorsement in Democrats’ White House run WASHINGTON (AP) — A coy Elizabeth Warren is withholding an endorsement of Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders for now and using her leverage as liberal icon to focus the two Democratic presidential rivals on her populist agenda.

On the eve of Tuesday’s

New Hampshire primary, both contenders would love to win the backing of the Democratic senator from next-door Massachusetts.

Warren’s clout flows from the army of progressive voters who’d hoped she’d seek the White House herself, plus her longtime outrage

over what she considers a rigged financial system, which taps directly into one of this year’s dominant Democratic themes.

“There are a lot of people who will be listening very carefully to how she feels about the race,” said Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, a Clinton backer.

SEX WEEK

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Aside from silly things like condom Plinko being hosted this week to increase sex education, Simón said more serious events such as the Title IX Town Hall meeting will be happening, too.

“It’s just a time where students can ask any question they want to know,” she said about the town hall meeting.

Caitlin Graves, a prevention specialist at the RISE office, said the sex letters station at the Student Union Building on Monday was a way for students to write letters to their younger selves

about what they wish they would have know then about sex.

“Sex week is the first of what we are hoping to make an annual event,” Graves said.

On Monday afternoon, the “Love is Patient: C h o o s e Yo u r O w n A d venture” lecture featured people of faith from the community who talked to and answered questions that students may have about waiting to have sex, she said.

“Sex week is not just for people that are sexually active,” Graves said. “It’s for what you define as sex, what you define as intimacy.”

Sex week is also about making sure that partners are talking about sex and

Zachary Rocha, a junior electronic media and communication major from Lubbock and volunteer for Define Your Line, said talking about sex with your partner helps make the line between consensual sex more clear.

Rocha said Define Your Line is an organization that tries to get students to talk about sex with their partners and has cards available for students to fill out anonymously and can later see the answers on their website.

“I thought it was pretty cool because not a lot of students talk about sex,” Rocha said.

Alexis Anderson, a senior advertising major from Dallas and another volunteer for Define Your Line, said the organization sets up tables on campus throughout the year and also goes to classrooms to speak with students and pass out “Define Your Line” cards.

“It’s basically trying to prevent sexual abuse,” Anderson said.

The organization will also be at the Rec Center Friday for Women’s Night, Anderson said.

Other events for sex week include a Sex Ed 101 discussion, free STI/HIV testing and an alcohol and consent workshop, according to the RISE website. @EastonWollneyDT

Randy Rogers Band releases new album

By JENNIFER ROMERO L a Vida Editor

Since 2002, the Texas born Randy Rogers Band has been rocking the country music scene.

In that time, the band has released seven albums, and lead singer Randy Rogers has written many of the songs the band performs.

Rogers, a Cleburne native, also frequently co-writes songs, and other artists have performed his songs, including Kenny Chesney.

The band released its newest album, “Nothing Shines Like Neon,” in January, and it debuted at No. 47 on the Billboard 200 and sold 11,500 copies in the first week.

The Randy Rogers Band will return to Lubbock on Saturday to play at Charley B’s.

Rogers took the time to answer some questions about the band’s career and its new album. Here are some of his answers: Q: When you were growing up, did you think you would have the music career you have today?

A: “I think I wanted to.

I played guitar since I was little. I’ve been doing it for a long time, so I’m pretty happy with the success we’ve been able to have and that I still get to do it for a living. It’s something I’ve dreamed about for sure.”

Q: Have you enjoyed the journey you have been on so far to get to this point in your career?

TRAINING

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 All of the services provided by Voice of Hope are free to all and are made possible by federal and state funding, she said.

The organization is also a

A: “Oh yeah. I love being on the road and there have been some really great high points in my career.”

Q: Do you have any artists who you would say have influenced your overall style of music and your songwriting?

We’ve always had country songs on all of our albums, but every single song on this album you can dance to.

RANDY ROGERS SINGER-SONGWRITER A: “I think I grew up wanting to be George Strait. I wanted to be Willie Nelson, you know, those are the people I listened to when I was little.”

Q: How would you describe your general process when you are writing a song?

A: “I just pay attention to what people say to me throughout my daily life and try to take phrases or words or ideas from real life situations. A lot of times it’s about me, and other times it’s not about me. I’m just trying to mirror the average guy, the average girl, just try to write that. I usually come up with a melody on the guitar in my head.

The words kind of follow after that.”

Q: You have written many songs with other songwriters over the years. Do you enjoy getting to collaborate with United Way agency.

One thing that commonly reoccurs when people are confronted with sexual assault is victim blaming, Timmons said. However, anyone who needs to visit with Voice of Hope should know they are in a safe space that is free from any

these other artists?

A: “I like co-writing.

It helps me finish a song.

I don’t feel like I’m by far the best songwriter out there, so I like other people’s ideas and direction. I think it ultimately helps you become a better person, a better writer to write with as many people as you can.”

Q: How would you describe your new album compared to the previous albums the band has released?

A: “It’s still us. As a whole, maybe it’s traditionally more sounded and influenced. As a group of songs, they all kind of fit the same mold. We’ve always had country songs on all of our albums, but every single song on this album you can dance to.

Every single song on this record, I feel like, sounds like when we were younger, maybe in the early 90s.”

Q: Do you have a favorite song on the album, and if so, why?

A: “’Meet Me Tonight’ is my favorite song. It just turned out in the studio exactly the way I heard it in my head. My producer buddy was able to pull it off with me just giving him ideas of what we wanted it to sound like. It just turned out exactly how I wanted it to, so I’m happy about that. And it’s a song that I wrote.”

Q: Do you believe there’s a strong difference in the Texas style of country and the newer Nashville sound?

A: “Obviously inside the country music genre there’s everything from type of judgment.

“We don’t care if (victims) have been drinking or partying or whatever, that’s not why we’re t h e r e , ” Ti m m o n s s a i d .

GOP lawmaker criticizes Beyonce video WASHINGTON (AP) — Beyonce’s new video “Formation” is “pro-Black Panther” and “anti-cop,” says a Republican congressman, who argued Monday that it perpetuates a lie about the August 2014 shooting in Missouri of an unarmed black man by a white police officer.

“Beyonce may be a gifted entertainer but no one should really care what she thinks about any serious is-

sue confronting our nation,” New York Rep. Pete King said in a statement he posted on his Facebook page.

King condemned the video, released by the Grammy-winning singer ahead of her world tour and her performance during halftime of Sunday’s Super Bowl. He also complained about the mainstream media’s acceptance of the video and her Super Bowl appearance.

Beyonce’s publicist had

no immediate response to an email request for comment.

In the video, Beyonce is seen atop a police cruiser and there are references to the Black Lives Matter movement. King also complained that the video makes the “ritualistic reference to Michael Brown and Ferguson, Missouri, by featuring a scene of innocent people with their hands raised high above their heads in surrender.”

Correction I n T h u r s d a y ’s i s s u e of The Daily Toreador in “Council maintains ties to

If you think you (want to play music), you have to be committed and just kind of do it.

RANDY ROGERS SINGER-SONGWRITER Q: Do you enjoy getting to travel around the coun-

try but still having your roots in Texas?

A: “Yeah, I mean we get to see every city in the country from Boston to San Diego to Fort Lauderdale, and we continue to do so. We’re very thankful that we get to do that.

It’s a dream come true for all of us.”

Q: The band has been successful so far. Where do you hope your career will progress in the future?

A : “ Yo u k n o w, m a k e more records, hopefully really great songs and great music that will last forever. Get to be on stage in front of people for a long time playing music. It’s been a hell of a ride and we still enjoy it.”

Q: Do you have any advice for upcoming artists

who hope to be where you are someday?

A: “I think if you want to do it you have to be committed and just kind of do it. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. I kind of made my own way, I worked really hard. Play every night, keep writing songs and trying to get better at that and you’ll find your way.”

Q: Do you all enjoy when you get to come and perform in Lubbock?

A: “We still love playing Lubbock. We have a couple of Red Raider alumni in our band and so coming to town is always nice for them. I love West Texas, I married a girl from West Texas. I absolutely enjoy it.” @JenRomeroDT

Fans have experience at Hendrix home LONDON (AP) — When he was not being a string-shredding, ampblasting guitar hero, Jimi Hendrix liked nothing better than to sit at home drinking tea and watching the British soap opera “Coronation Street.”

The musician’s former apartment — in a London building that links Handel’s “Messiah” and “Purple Haze” — opens to the public Wednesday. It captures a fertile period in the late 1960s when Hendrix was forging an international musical reputation, and immersing himself in the highs and lows of British culture.

“He was a bit shocked by the lack of restaurants and the standard of food,” remembered Kathy Etchingham, Hendrix’s girlfriend at the time. “We were only 20 years out from the Second World War.” But mostly, she said, “he embraced everything.”

“He’d never had tea before he came here, but

he had no choice. I trained him: Have a cup of tea, milk and two sugars.”

The apartment, restored to its multicolored 1960s glory, forms part of Handel & Hendrix in London, a museum devoted to two innovative musicians who were neighbors, two centuries apart.

Composer George Frideric Handel lived in an 18th-century house in London’s Mayfair area for 36 years until his death in 1759. In 1968, Hendrix and Etchingham rented an apartment above a restaurant next door, furnishing it with a red carpet and turquoise curtains from the John Lewis department store a few blocks away.

When he moved in, Hendrix didn’t know much about Handel — though, he said, “I dig a bit of Bach now and again.” He soon bought a copy of the c o m p o s e r ’s “ M e s s i a h , ” which nestled in his record collection alongside

discs by Howlin’ Wolf, Nina Simone, Bob Dylan and The Beatles.

“Music students used to come and knock on the door and say ‘George Frideric Handel, I’m a student of his music, can I have a look around?’” said Etchingham, a writer and former DJ. “So Jimi would show them around — they were completely oblivious to who Jimi was — and in the end they’d sit and have a cup of tea or a drink and chat about Handel.”

The bedroom where Hendrix spent most of his time — both sleeping and waking — has been carefully restored. Persian rugs layer the floor, Hendrix’s favorite Victorian shawl hangs above the bed, an acoustic guitar lies nearby, and a bottle of cheap-and-cheerful Mateus Rose wine sits close to hand.

“It’s like traveling in a time capsule back 45 years,” Etchingham said on Monday.

Tech alumna competes in Symetra Tour

By DAVID GAY Staff Writer

Former Texas Tech women’s golf player, Stephanie Bertelsen, qualified for the Symetra Tour, one step below the Ladies Professional Golf Association, this year.

Bertelsen finished her senior year with a fifth-place finish at the Big 12 tournament and a place on the Big 12 All-Tournament team.

With her eligibility ending in May, she worked on her game until she graduated in Decem-

ber, she said.

“I continued to work with the Tech coaches while I was there,” BERTELSEN Bertelsen said.

“I just worked on my own game and focused on finishing my education.”

Her status for the Symetra Tour will only be for this year, she said, and she hopes to qualify for the LPGA tour in the future.

“My goal for this year is to have good results in the

Symetra Tour,” Bertelsen said. “I want them to be good enough to help me qualify for the LPGA tour in 2017.”

Playing for a team and playing professionally is a different mindset for Bertelsen, she said.

“Instead of playing for a school and having a team back me up, I will be playing for myself and for my own living,” Bertelsen said.

Bertelsen welcomes the chance to compete as an individual, she said.

“I like playing for my-

self more than playing for a team,” Bertelsen said. “I like golf because you are playing as an individual. I’m looking forward to that.”

She is not changing her approach to her golf game now that she is playing as an individual, she said. It’s just back to basics.

“I’m focusing on one shot at a time,” Bertelsen said. “I’m mainly working on consistency and the mental side of the game.”

Looking back on her days at Tech, Bertelsen said she sees that she improved over

her four years in college. Her only regret is she wishes she peaked a little earlier.

The decision to start at Western Texas College was not a regret for Bertelsen, she said.

“I am pretty satisfied that I did that,” Bertelsen said. “I don’t think I would have made Texas Tech’s team as a freshman. Taking it one step at a time really worked out for me.”

Bertelsen’s best memories from Tech include her competing in NCAA Nationals and representing her home country of Denmark in the European

Championship, she said.

After making the LPGA, Bertelsen’s dream is to compete in the Solheim Cup, which is a biennial women’s golf tournament between the best from the United States and Europe, according to the Solheim Cup USA website.

According to her website, Bertelsen’s first appearance in the Symetra Tour will be at the IOA Championship in Beaumont, California, on Feb. 19 and ends on Feb. 21. The tour will continue until October. @DavidGayDT

Red Raiders remain No. 14 in recent poll The United States Track & Field and Cross Country Association ranked the Texas Tech men’s track and field team No. 14 in their latest rankings. Tech did not move in the poll after adding some marks to the top eight in

the NCAA standings.

Junior Kyle Collins helped the team in their rankings with back-to-back weeks of sub-47 second times in the 400 meters. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, last weekend, his time of 46.43 earned him runner

up by .006 seconds to Jarrin Solomon, an Olympic medalist. This time ranks Collins sixth in the NCAA this season.

Senior Bradley Adkins also helped the team with his performance in the high jump over the weekend in

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Albuquerque. His height of 2.20m/7-2.5 was the top clearance of any collegiate athlete in the high jump over the weekend. This was a season best for Adkins and ranked fourth in the NCAA. Senior Chris Caldwell also helped the team main-

tain its place in the rankings with a time of 7.80 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles in Albuquerque.

He posted a pair of 7.77 second performances in the semifinals before.

The Red Raiders will travel to both the Tyson

Dean receives fifth Big 12 No. 1 UConn defeats No. 2 freshman of week award S. Carolina in showdown Texas Tech freshman guard Japreece Dean has been named the Big 12 Conference Freshman of the Week for the fifth time this season.

By winning her fifth freshman of the week award, she set the school record. No other Lady Raider has won the award more than three times, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

The last time a Big 12 player won the award five times was Baylor ’s Nina

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Breanna Stewart had 25 points and 10 rebounds as No. 1 UConn again proved who rules the women’s game, running past No. 2 South Carolina 66-54 on Monday night.

The Gamecocks had won their first 22 games and, in front of their first sold out crowd at 18,000-seat Colonial Life Arena, figured to give the three-time defending NCAA champion

Huskies (23-0) their sternest test of the season.

Instead, Stewart and UConn led by 15 points in the second quarter and never let the Southeastern Conference champs get back in it.

Stewart was the main reason why, finishing with her ninth double-double this season to go with five blocks. The 6-foot-4 senior also played strong defense against South Carolina’s

inside stars in A’ja Wilson and Alaina Coates. The Gamecocks duo, averaging 28 points combined this season, ended with just about half that (15) in their first loss of the season.

UConn won its 60th straight game while ending South Carolina’s 45-game home victory string — handing the Gamecocks their first loss here since falling to Texas A&M 50-48 on Feb. 10, 2013.

Manziel’s ex-girlfriend says she Road woes aplenty as Big 12 lost some hearing in recent attack teams navigate conference grind DALLAS (AP) — Johnny Manziel’s ex-girlfriend said in an affidavit the Cleveland Browns quarterback hit her so hard during a late-night confrontation she lost hearing in one ear.

Colleen Crowley’s affidavit, published online Monday, says Manziel dragged her into a car last month after she tried to get away from him.

Crowley accused Manziel of striking her in her left ear.

Crowley detailed the alleged attack as part of proceedings to obtain a protective order against Manziel, who is under criminal investigation on allegations of domestic violence.

Manziel, a Heisman Trophy winner whose professional career has been marred by

headlines about his drinking and other personal issues, is expected to be cut by the Browns next month.

In the affidavit, first published by TV station KXAS, Crowley said she and Manziel had a confrontation in his hotel room around 1:45 a.m. Jan. 30. Crowley accused Manziel of throwing her onto his bed after the two discussed him “being with a girl who had caused us problems in the past.”

Crowley said she tried to leave, but he restrained her and led her downstairs to the valet, where he directed her to his car. She said the valet disregarded her pleas for help.

Crowley and Manziel eventually made it to her vehicle in front of a Dallas bar,

her affidavit says. Manziel allegedly got into the driver’s seat of her car and started to back out of the spot. She said she opened her door and jumped out, trying to hide.

She accused him of chasing her down, throwing her back into the car and hitting her left ear.

“Fearful for my life, I hit (Manziel) several times, hoping I could back out of the car,” she said in the affidavit, adding Manziel “threw me off of him and I hit my head on the car window and I fell into the passenger floorboard.”

Police have said they drove to Fort Worth, where they continued arguing before Manziel fled on foot.

Manziel’s attorney, Bradley Beckworth, did not return a phone message Monday.

M A N H AT TA N , K a n .

(AP) — Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger warned his then-No. 1 team of the challenge it would face at Kansas State, even though the rebuilding Wildcats were near the bottom of the Big 12 standings.

The Sooners failed to heed his warning in time.

Buoyed by a boisterous home crowd packed inside Bramlage Coliseum, the Wildcats roared back from an early nine-point hole for an 80-69 victory on Saturday night. It was the third time Oklahoma had lost in league play, and all of those defeats have come away from the Lloyd Noble Center.

“It’s tough to win on the road, period,” Kruger said afterward.

Indeed, the feverish fan bases are a big reason Big 12 environments are so tough.

MEN’S TENNIS

Soares helps team find success

By BRANDON SOLIZ SportS Editor

Senior Felipe Soares is currently the No. 1 singles player for the Texas Tech Red Raider men’s tennis team.

Soares and company are sitting at 10-0 on the season with the 2016 ITA Indoor National Championships next in line for the Red Raiders, which begin on Friday.

Tech has lost a total of eight games in its 10 matchups so far, combining for a total of 46 court victories during the duration of the winning streak.

The 10-0 start is the best beginning to a season for the Red Raiders since 2005 when Tech went on a 17-game win streak, according a Tech Athletics news release.

Soares is currently the No. 8 ranked individual player in the ITA NCAA Division One rankings, followed by teammate Alex Sendegeya, who is ranked at No. 33.

“It’s been a great start,” Soares said. “Especially with the younger guys coming in. They all work hard and have been helping us a lot.”

Soares is from Santos, Sao Paulo, in Brazil, and attended high school at

Colegio Anglo Americano.

Prior to joining the Tech tennis team, Soares was ranked at No. 3 in Brazil in the boys under 18 division before competing in the amateur level.

In his days at the amateur level in South America, Soares went 30-19 in 2011 on the ITF Futures To u r, a c c o r d i n g t o h i s biography on the Tech Athletics website.

He also advanced to the quarterfinals twice and made it to the round of 16 in six of 11 events during his time as an amateur, according to the website.

As well as excelling in singles competition, Soares has had a good history in the doubles portion and continues that success at Tech.

While in the South American amateur circuit, he competed in doubles with Thales Turini, according to the website.

The duo captured the ITF Futures Porto Alegre Open title in October of 2011, according to the website.

Now, Soares is competing with fellow Brazilian, senior Hugo Dojas, at Tech and the two have left their mark on the program.

To begin their senior campaigns, the duo won the UTSA/ITA National

Indoor Championship.

The two are currently ranked No. 2 in the nation in doubles, behind North Carolina’s Brett Clark and

Robert Kelly.

“We are like brothers,” Soares said. “We have lived together since we first came to Lubbock our

freshman year. We have a good relationship and we trust each other.”

The men’s team will travel to Charlottesville,

Virginia, tomorrow for their matchup on Friday at the 2016 ITA Indoor National Championships. @BSoliz_DT

Ingram leads Duke past No. 13 Louisville

James, Irving help Cavaliers win 120-100

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Freshman Brandon Ingram had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Duke beat No. 13 Louisville 72-65 on Monday night.

Grayson Allen scored 19 points and Luke Kennard had 11 for the Blue Devils (18-6, 7-4 Atlantic Coast Conference). They shot 50 percent in the second half and hit 10

CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James recorded his 40th career tripledouble while Kyrie Irving matched his season high with 32 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled past the Sacramento Kings 120-100 on Monday night.

James scored 21 points to go along with 10 assists and 10 rebounds for his first triple-double

of 12 free throws in the final 3:14 while beating a ranked opponent for the first time this season.

Donovan Mitchell scored 17 points and Q u e n t i n S n i d e r, w h o fouled out with 2:01 left, added 12 for the Cardinals (19-5, 8-3), who shot 56 percent in the second half and erased a 15-point deficit but missed a chance

to take sole possession of first place in the league.

The key stretch came when Louisville had the ball down 66-62 with about 2½ minutes left.

Ray Spalding left a layup short off the iron, Duke’s Marshall Plumlee grabbed the rebound and it was at least a twopossession game the rest of the way.

Irving was 13 of 21 from the field and tied his career high with 12 assists. J.R. Smith hit six 3-pointers and finished with 22 points.

Cleveland went ahead early in the game and steadily built its lead against the listless Kings,

Rudy Gay and Omri Casspi led Sacramento with 16 points each.

Cavaliers forward Kevin Love, who passed the 9,000 career point mark in the second quarter, returned after missing a game because of a bruised left thigh and scored 11 points.
