Serving the Texas Tech University community since 1925

Defendant’s mother in Chris Kyle trial testifies STEPHENVILLE (AP) — The mother of the former Marine accused of killing “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle and another man testified Tuesday that she didn’t know after asking Kyle to help her troubled son that they’d be going to a shooting range.

Jodi Routh, defendant Eddie Ray Routh’s mother, said under cross-examination by prosecutors she didn’t know Kyle’s plan. Asked if she regretted not telling Kyle of threats Routh had made to kill himself and his family, she said, “I was just looking for help for my son.”

Routh is charged in the deaths of the famed former Navy SEAL sniper who served four tours in Iraq and his friend, Chad Littlefield, at the range in February 2013.

The trial has drawn intense interest, partly because of an Oscar-nominated film based on Kyle’s memoir.

Routh, whose attorneys are mounting an insanity defense, has pleaded not guilty. Family members have said he was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder after serving in Iraq and in Haiti after the devastating 2010 earthquake.

When prosecutors asked Jodi Routh what she had told Kyle about her son, she said she told Kyle that he had been hospitalized several times but wasn’t getting the treatment he needed. “He assured me he knew what Eddie was going through,” she said.

Criminology department offers career options

By SARAH WILSON staff writer

Picking a major can be one of the most stressful times for incoming freshmen. It sets the course for the rest of their lives, and most students take it seriously.

Criminology is a degree offering in the sociology department, Robert R. Paine, professor in sociology, anthropology and social work, said. Paine teaches undergraduates as well as graduate students at Tech.

“It’s classified as a sociology major, focused on criminology,” Matt Wright-Chapman, a junior sociology major focusing on criminology from Arlington, said. “It’s just understanding how criminals work, how they function, what they think. It’s not exactly like psychology, but understanding the why and what leads up to why they would commit a crime.”

The job opportunities for criminology include law enforcement, family violence counseling and forensics science, he said. It is also hard to gain hands-on experience here in Lubbock, but plans on working with his hometown police department this summer, with hopes to work for the FBI in the future, Wright-Chapman said.

“Resources for us here are kind of thin,” Wright-Chapman said. “The on-campus police don’t offer ride-alongs, it’s only for recruits, and local police don’t offer ridealongs either.”

Wright-Chapman first started thinking about going into the police force when he was a kid, he said. Police work had interested him as a child, which played a heavy role in choosing his major.

Faith leaders gather to support marriage equality AUSTIN (AP) — Faith leaders rallied for marriage equality Tuesday at the Texas Capitol, seeking to convince lawmakers that expanding rights to gay, bisexual and transgender couples won’t compromise their religious beliefs.

“We demand equality!” chanted attendees, many of whom wore colorful liturgical vestments and held signs stating they were Methodist, Jewish, Unitarian, Baptist and Presbyterian. About 150 people traveled to the Capitol for the rally, sponsored by the advocacy group the Texas Freedom Network.

Minister Leslie Jackson of the Houston United Church of Christ said that equality is “God in action,” adding that “LGBT equality is not a distant cousin to faith, it is its progeny.”

Rev. Eric Folkerth, from Northaven United Methodist Church in Dallas, praised his city’s non-discrimination ordinance, adding that equality at work is also important. The Dallas statute that protects lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people from discrimination in employment and housing has been in place since 2002; a similar ban in Houston is caught up in a legal battle.

“Less government involvement in our lives leaves us free to love who we love,” said Claire Bow, a transgender woman from Austin. “The real trick is getting legislators to see the effects of the things they put into law.”

Texas Tech faculty and staff members have the opportunity to participate in a universitywide fitness challenge this semester.

Betty Blanton, associate director of fitness/ wellness and outdoor pursuits in the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center, said registration for the Faculty and Staff Fitness Challenge began Monday and will continue until March 8.

The competition itself runs from March 2 until April 26, including spring and Easter breaks.

“Last fall, the CFO of the university, Noel Sloan, asked Rec Sports to have a fitness challenge for the staff in Administration and Finance,” she said. “We did a program with them, so we did this for eight weeks last fall and we had 120 participants that logged 235,522 minutes of activity.”

University officials were encouraged and excited by the success of the fall program, Blanton said, so the challenge was expanded to the entire university.

The challenge is supported BLANTON by the Tech Office of the President, according to the challenge website, and sponsored by Human Resources.

Participants must be benefits-eligible employees, meaning they cannot be student employees, Blanton said.

“We’re trying to encourage and motivate the campus community to increase their current level of physical activity,” she said, “and hopefully get some other healthy habits along the way.”

2011, “all students entering a public, private or independent institution of higher education in Texas as of January 2012,” have to have a meningitis vaccination or at least a “booster” shot before they enter any educational institution.

Texas Tech Hospitality Services already has developed its summer renovation plans.

Alan Cushman, business development manager of Hospitality Services, said after a fall semester filled with renovations and openings, the department does not have an extensive amount of plans for the spring semester.

“With Hospitality Services being a part of the university, we’re always thinking of how to better serve the campus community,” he said.

“We’ll be taking a step back doing more of the back-of-the-house remodeling.”

Improvements will include remodeling kitchens and equipping kitchens across campus with better equipment, Cushman said.

This summer, the Student Union building will be the site of several renovations and updates.

“One of the big projects the campus will see us doing this summer is Smart Choices in the ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

Student Union building, which is our platform for wellness and healthy eating on campus,” he said.

“It has been a while since that has been improved and remodeled, so we’re actually going to be closing that this summer and completely renovating the look and feel of that space.”

The location will still be Smart Choices, he said, and patrons will see several of their most popular food options return.

Hospitality Services tries to diversify its menus on a regular basis, Cushman said.

“Our dietitian, Mindy Diller, has been working with some requests from the Student Government Association,” he said. “We’ve gotten some requests for a juice bar on campus, so we’re looking to add that as a component to that location.”

Students want different food options, Cushman said, so Hospitality Services wants to fit their diverse lifestyles.

Tech encourages students to study abroad

By JONATHAN LAUREL Staff Writer

Universities frequently encourage students to study abroad in order to gain additional insight and perspective on the world around them.

Texas Tech is one of those universities because it has experienced a 5 percent increase in the number of students participating in its study abroad programs, according to the Office of International Affairs at Tech.

From 2010 to 2011, the number of college students who stud-

ied abroad jumped from 799,581 to 858,180, which is a 7.33 percent increase, according to research conducted by Pacific SCHWARTZ Sound magazine.

“Studying abroad will help students get jobs,” Rebecca Anne Schwartz, director of the Study Abroad Program at Tech, said. “Research shows that students who study abroad get hired faster, graduate faster and also make better grades.”

“There is not really much of a correlation between pre and post policy,” Logan said. “But we definitely don’t want to find out what would happen without this imposed.”

The Health Sciences Center is satisfied with how Tech is managing this policy, McPherson said.

“What we have now really actually works,” McPherson said.

“As long as we follow immunization guidelines, we can feel pretty confident about ourselves.”

Even though Tech has a strict policy on these rules, it is purely a health issue and does not count for or against admission, Logan said.

“It is not a condition of admission,” Logan said. “In fact, we don’t even look at those records, when we receive them we just send them straight to Health (Sciences Center).”

Both the Health Sciences Center and Office of Admissions stress that the choice of the individual is always a consideration.

If they choose to keep up with immunizations they can do that, or if they want to make a personal choice the school will respect that too, Logan said.

“We’re dealing with a personal health question here, so I respect any student’s decision,” he said. “But our job as a school is to definitely stay as far away from an epidemic as possible.” ➤➤@TheDT_LaVida

fulfilled by taking a minimum of three course hours abroad or by completing an internship, research or service project abroad, according to the College of Engineering website.

The Tech Quality Enhancement Plan, which is a plan to help Tech become a tier-one university, also brought on the requirement.

The main goal of the QEP is to increase the global connectedness of Tech students in hopes it will help enhance degrees and increase the abilities of graduates in their jobs after graduation, President M. Duane

Nellis said, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador.

“It enhances the quality of the student experience at Texas Tech so our students will be better prepared. That just elevates the institution,” he said, according to the article.

Tech offers study programs in almost any country in the world, Schwartz said.

“We can find a program for anyone based on where they want to go, what classes they want to take and how long they want to stay,” she said.

Joey Elder, a sophomore ac-

counting major from San Antonio, said few résumés have study abroad experience listed, so he wants to distinguish his résumé from all others.

He hopes to gain a new perspective of the world and business, he said, and to improve his leadership and social skills.

“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. I want to experience living in another country,” Elder said. “I will be staying with a host family and taking an ISQS course at the Texas Tech learning center in Seville.” ➤➤jlaurel@dailytoreador.com

Broad majors grant students variety of future job options

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

Texas Tech offers about 85 different undergraduate majors, and students often have a difficult time deciding on a major.

Lindsay Inscore, the undergraduate adviser for the Departments of English and Philosophy, said English is a major without a set career for students after graduation.

“I’ve heard a lot of different things from students,” she said. “I’ve had some say, ‘I want to be an editor,’ and some students say, ‘I want to be a novelist or journalist.’ The cool thing about the English major is that it’s so versatile. You can do anything with it.”

There are approximately 300 students majoring in English, and Inscore said she meets with students who know what they want to do as well as students who are still trying to decide on a career path.

When students come to her asking what kinds of jobs they can get with an English major, Inscore said, she shows them a blog with a list of 35 jobs for English majors.

“I think the reason many students get scared about an English major is because there is no English job,” she said. “Most people default to, ‘Well I don’t want to teach, so what else can I do?’ Although there’s not a job that says ‘English,’ there are so many jobs out there screaming for English majors be-

Fitness↵

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The overall goal of the challenge is to motivate faculty and staff members to participate in physical activity and make healthy food choices, according to the website.

Those who already exercise regularly are encouraged to branch out or increase their workout levels during the challenge, Blanton said.

“If they’re new to exercise or it’s been a long time since they have exercised, the most general recommendation is to walk because we all know how to do it, it’s relatively inexpensive and it’s fairly safe,” she said. “From a physiological standpoint, we’re pretty used to doing it, so you can increase your distance or increase your speed and get a lot of benefits.”

Research shows walking is one of the best exercises, especially for those who

cause of the skills we have.”

The list spans everything from writing positions to careers in public relations, Inscore said, and she lets students look through the list to see what fields they are interested in.

Staci Rogers, the undergraduate adviser for the Department of History, said there are approximately 350 history majors, which is above the 213-student average across all majors.

“History is one of those majors that when you first think of it, you think of teaching,” she said. “That’s fun, but there are a lot of things that can go along with history. The things that you learn from history are reading and writing, which are valuable in any job.”

Students also learn how to reason and prepare arguments through studying history, Rogers said, and history gives students the skills to do any job instead of focusing them on one specific career.

History majors are required to have a minor, Rogers said, and this allows students to specialize in an area they are interested in.

“For students who want to go into business, there’s a business minor, there’s an economics minor for those who want to go into international business, do a minor in a foreign language,” she said. “It also affords students who want to do things like medical school with a health professions minor.”

Majoring in history can help

students get into other professional schools such as law school, and Rogers said finishing college with a high GPA looks good on any application.

Getting a job is 40 percent networking, he said, and having a major in history or another humanity field gives students more to talk about in an interview or with professional connections.

“I majored in English, and I had a hard time finding a job when I graduated,” Inscore said. “Then I talked to a couple different people and they said the way you market yourself is most important. Even if you’re just an English major, you have so many valuable skills that we can market ourselves to get accounting jobs that aren’t in the English field.”

University Career Services also provides online lists of potential jobs for all majors offered at Tech, and according to its website majors like art and math have long lists of possible careers students might not think of.

While majors like engineering and accounting work well for students who know what they want to do as a career, Rogers said there is no safety net for any major to ensure students get the jobs they want.

“The concern is that students come to college thinking college is a trade school,” she said. “College is not a trade school. College is the opportunity to make yourself diverse and make yourself a good candidate for whatever you go into.”

do not work out regularly, Blanton said.

For someone who does not actively exercise, the event can be a real challenge, she said.

“We set up the program with three different levels so if you are just beginning exercise, you aren’t intimidated by competing against those who exercise on a frequent level,” Blanton said. “There’s the Raider Rookie, with 150 minutes per person per week, the Raider Power, 270 minutes per person per week, and Raider Warrior, which is 360 minutes per person per week.”

She said 150 minutes is a standard guideline of how much physical activity a person should have in an average week.

Participants are required to sign up in teams of two to four people, she said, because social support helps people stay committed to the challenge.

Cindy Harper, assistant director of marketing and booking for the United Supermarkets Arena, participated in the

original fitness challenge and has already signed up for this semester’s event.

“It’s a great program that I’m looking forward to being a part of in the spring,” she said. “I signed up for the element of accountability because you want to contribute and don’t want to let your team down.”

During the eight-week program, participants will have opportunities to win a variety of prizes, Blanton said.

If anyone does not have a team but still wants to participate, he or she can contact Blanton at betty.blanton@ttu.edu and she will coordinate a team.

“I think it’s great that Texas Tech is supporting their faculty and staff to participate in this challenge,” Blanton said.

“We want everyone to reap the benefits of physical activity, of which there’s not just physical ones, but also mental and emotional ones, so we really encourage everyone to participate.”

Texas Tech fosters undergraduate research

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

Many graduate students conduct research during their studies, but undergraduates have opportunities to help with research on campus as well.

Jerylme Robins, the unit coordinator for the Center for Active Learning and Undergraduate Engagement, said the center focuses on getting students involved in active learning opportunities such as undergraduate research.

“What we do here in the center is try to increase awareness of undergraduate research and the fact that it does go on here,” he said. “Quite a few faculty members are involved and willing to work with undergraduate researchers.”

Many departments conduct research, and students can start working in a lab when they make a connection with a faculty member.

CALUE offers scholarships to help students conducting research, and Rob-

ins said it offers support for students to travel to conferences and to fund the research itself.

“That’s usually one of the main barriers for undergraduate researchers,” he said.

“Even if they’re at the level needed to go to a conference to present, they just can’t afford it. We also have project funding for those who are at the beginning stages of their projects.”

CALUE hosts workshops to help students learn about graduate school and how to find the right mentor when doing research.

The center does not match students with mentors because it is better for them to establish a working relationship on their own, but CALUE offers students help as they need it.

“We can be as involved or as little involved as you want,” Robins said. “It’s not mandatory that students go through us. The first step is to come talk to me, and I can guide you through the process.”

Other departments on campus also

help students with undergraduate research, and according to the Center for the Integration of STEM Education and Research, students interested in doing research in the STEM field can participate in the program and be mentored through monthly meetings.

Linh Nguyen, a sophomore public relation major from Vietnam, said she works with Justin Keene, an assistant professor in the College of Media and Communications, as well as with another professor.

“The purpose, I believe, is to measure the attention and the arousal of the children while watching TV with or without their parents,” she said. “The other research I help out with is about psychophysiology. Basically we will use sensors to measure heart rates or sweat to measure people’s physical reactions to different messages.”

If students do not want to travel to present their research, CALUE hosts an undergraduate conference every spring at Texas Tech where they can present their

research posters.

Participating in research as an undergraduate allows students to gain experience working in a lab, and Robins said this helps prepare them for graduate school and the job market.

“I came to Dr. Keene because I wanted to know about his research,” Nguyen said.

“Now I know more about how to do proper research, how to use sensors and there are

so many things for me to learn. I want to do research myself and go to grad school.

It’s a way to get experience.”

Undergraduate research also gives students the opportunity to think more about what they are learning in class, and Robins said they get to actually test the concepts while working in a lab.

Students also develop networking skills by working with a faculty mentor,

Robins said, and they also learn how to work with a variety of different people in the lab.

“I do think that Texas Tech is doing a good job of trying to make undergraduate research part of the culture of the university,” Robins said. “They make sure that students know that we are an institution that takes our undergraduates seriously.” ➤➤@JenRomeroDT

HSC alumna contributes to innovative health care

By MORGAN NOBLE Staff Writer

Texas Tech alumna Leisa Clayton changed medical treatment by creating a mobile clinic in West Texas.

Clayton developed the idea after learning about migrant workers, she said, before graduating from Tech in August of 2013. It got her interested in the mobile aspect of her clinic.

Clayton said she and another student decided to move forward with the idea.

She completed roughly a year of research before moving forward.

“I met this girl in the graduate school. I told her my idea, and she said she had the same idea,” Clayton said.

“So we started talking and we did a ton of research.”

After the year of research, the other student decided not to go through with the plan. Instead, Clayton opened the company with her husband.

“The study of people is so interesting to me, specifically criminology, because to me the best way to become a great lawyer is to understand the criminal and the criminal justice system,” Casey Dennis, a sophomore sociology major with an

Her focus was mainly on workers, which is where she got the name Blue Collar Health. Her goal was to service the working class and their families.

Clayton focused mainly on companies, she said, and was able to take her clinic to job sites.

These were the same services that she could perform in a stationary clinic she said, including shots, stitches and check-ups.

Clayton said the hardest part of beginning the business was attracting the clients. She would meet with potential companies who did not understand the concept of a mobile clinic.

The Mobile Health Clinics Association works with people like Clayton to uphold their mission statement. They desire to contribute to the sector by helping with advocacy, education and access, according to the Mobile Health Clinic website.

The Mobile Health Clinic As-

sociation runs based on core values, according to their website. These values are what they desire all mobile health clinics to reach if they wish to be a part of the association.

Clayton said that working on Blue Collar Health gave her many positive experiences, one being gratitude. The people she serviced were grateful for her help, because staying healthy was an essential part of their job.

Joyce Miller, an associate professor at the Tech School of Nursing, said mobile clinics like these are not common.

However, she said that because of the type of work people perform in the oil fields around West Texas, mobile clinics are useful.

The Affordable Care Act leaves the future of health care questionable, Miller said. While mobile clinics are a trend around areas like oil fields, in the cities, urgent care clinics are the most popular, recent trend, she said.

“Urgent cares are popping up all over the place,” Miller said. “Clinics people can go in and be seen without an appointment.”

Miller also said there are certain medical practices going out of business. It is the small clinics that are at risk.

“Mom and pop clinics are going away,” Miller said, “and being taken over by the big corporations.”

Clayton recently sold her mobile clinic, but plans to work for the buyer to remain close to the mobile business. She said the reason was that she didn’t want the business to fail, so she would rather have someone else running it.

“My entire practice rested on having that physician, so if my physician director decided ‘oh I did o’t want to be the director anymore’ my entire practice would shut down,” Clayton said. “And that’s scary. It’s one thing to lose a client or a patient.” ➤➤@MorganNobleDT

TECH ALUMNA LEISA Clayton started a mobile clinic called Blue Collar Health. Clayton completed a year of research before starting the project, she started the mobile clinic with her husband. When Clayton started the project her goal was to service the working class and their families. Her mobile clinic has now expanded and performs many services.

emphasis in criminology from Odessa, said. “After I graduate I am applying to Columbia and NYU law schools in New York.”

Wright-Chapman said there are not many people studying criminology compared to other subjects, but there are still more than most people think.

Many undergraduate students end up going to graduate school, Paine said, and

end up being college professors.

“I’ve always wanted to go into law enforcement, so it seemed like the best step to take,” Wright-Chapman said.

“Watching the news and all the things that have been happening recently, you kind of want to figure out why things are happening a certain way.”

Graduate students in Paine’s Forensic Anthropology lab learn various tech-

niques that aid in writing a forensics report by using various tools and techniques to measure and scale bones, Paine said.

“The courses I teach, both in forensics anthropology and forensic sciences, run somewhere between 60 to 75 students a semester,” Paine said. “We have quite a bit of interest at the undergraduate level.”

Paine said he was interested in human anthropology as an undergraduate, and

then went on to work with an anthropologist as a graduate student.

“You can tell a lot from bones,” Paine said. “You can tell the general height, sex, approximate age, were they arthritic, did they have an infection, did they break their bone and if they healed, did they die of a trauma, a lot of stuff like that.”

Moving on to Saturday, the NBA holds four different challenges. The first is the shooting stars challenge where one current pro, a past pro and a female pro must shoot four shots, with the last being a half court shot, and k n o c k them down as a team as fast as they can. Many would be surprised to watch how great the shot of the old pros still is today.

T h e next event to follow is the skills challenge, w h e r e eight of the NBA’s most talented and quickest players must dribble, pass and shoot all in one time slot and do it as fast as they can. It is impressive to watch these players show off the hard work they have put in to represent the teams and the cities they play for at this function.

Third is arguably one of the best events to watch, the 3-point contest. The NBA’s best shooters compete in shooting a total of 25 3-point-

ers from five different spots on the floor, given only one minute to do so. The player who makes the most shots wins the contest. It is impressive to watch the best shooters in the world go head-to-head to prove who the best shooter in the league really is.

Last but definitely not least, is one of, if not the greatest, events the NBA has to offer during the All Star Weekend — the dunk contest.

In the history of the league, the dunk contest is definitely the most impressive of events showcasing the athletic ability of the athletes participating in the contest. It is honestly remarkable to witness how someone can jump so high, move a basketball between their legs in mid-air and dunk it such as Vince Carter did in the contest in 2000.

Moving on to the final day of the weekend, Sunday, the NBA holds its all-star game.

All of the best basketball players in the world come together on two teams playing for the conferences in which their individual teams play against each other. Stars like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony play for mainly the bragging rights.

In past years, no matter the score, the games have turned into their own dunk contests at the end, making the game even more of a must watch.

Of course, none of the athletes want to get hurt in the game because it is just for fun, but it is always fun to watch some of the best athletes in the world go up against each other when they aren’t playing together representing the U.S. in the Olympics.

Obama’s choice to place troops in Iraq unwise

R

ecently, the terrorist group known as ISIS has become increasingly violent.

Americans are divided on whether President Barack Obama should send ground troops to assist our foreign nations. Obama is proposing ground troops be sent to Iraq as defense against ISIS, but this would be a huge mistake on his part.

The greatest debate against Obama’s suggestion on fighting ISIS is granting him jurisdiction over the U.S. military.

According to a CNN article, Democrats and Republicans believe Obama’s right to use military force would give him legal authority to battle ISIS, which they believe is an abuse of power.

Both parties are sadly mistaken.

Obama has made the proper request to Congress in order to gain approval before sending military troops to Iraq. These individuals should be less concerned about Obama abusing his power and more concerned with his poor decision.

“The bill reflects “our core objective to destroy ISIL,” and includes authority for a “systemic and sustained campaign of airstrikes,” support and training for forces on the ground and humanitarian assistance,” according

Mark Tijerina

to the article.

Sending troops to Iraq would be a huge mistake. ISIS is provoking America to initiate an attack and start another war. They are using the lives of innocent people to entice our emotions and our want to help others, but we must realize this is all a part of a larger scheme.

ISIS makes it a point to record all their killings and violent acts on video in order to gain the attention of Americans.

According to The Weekly Standard website, ISIS is an extremist movement with its sights set on building a new caliphate or government.

Has Obama learned anything from the mistakes of previous presidents? Evidently not, but instead Obama is wishing to repeat history yet again by surrendering our military to a fight with ISIS. This fight has not reached the U.S., but some believe it will only be

a matter of time if Obama does not act immediately. ISIS is continuously recruiting more and more members and has increased its violent acts.

One act in particular that gained widespread attention was the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christian hostages. This murderous act shows just how barbaric this terrorist group has become in the wake of their hunger for a new caliphate.

According to an ABC News article, ISIS has proclaimed Italy as its next target during the video of the beheading of the 21 Egyptian hostages. This has caused great concern throughout Italy and France. Egypt reacted by calling the United Nations Security Council.

These beheadings are disturbing and should give individuals a clear understanding of how far ISIS will go in order to gain government power. I feel the utmost sympathy for all the individuals who have been killed in ISIS’ harsh attempt to instill fear amongst the masses — but Americans should remain unthreatened and unafraid.

This ploy by ISIS to gain the attention from the entire world has been accomplished. It is evident that this terrorist group wishes to be viewed as a military stronghold, but it has only accomplished cowardly beheadings. ISIS has not been very successful in any actual battle between other military strongholds.

Americans are blinded by ISIS’ propagandized killings, which are subtly setting fear into those who are easily convinced of danger. If ISIS posed any real threat to America, Congress would immediately seek action and send military ground troops to those areas for battle.

If ISIS does make it to Italy, I highly doubt they can withstand the European military. Congress should definitely turn down Obama’s request.

Hopefully Obama will be wise enough to halt his rash decision to send military ground troops to Iraq.

T

his is officially the second semester I’ve begun to ride the bus to and from classes and to various extracurricular activities on campus. As a transfer student, I did not expect to desperately need to make an effort to network among selfconsumed bus riders.

To many, it is not shocking to find our generation glued to their phones — whether it is checking a Facebook status, playing games or listening to endless playlists with earphones plugged snuggly in their ears.

It is refreshing to have someone from time to time acknowledge you, with a simp l e “ h o w ’s it going?” or even a mere “bless you” when you sneeze — is that request too much to ask for?

Needless to say, making new acquaintances on the bus is not a realistic aspiration for me to pursue anymore. Sadly, it seems almost impossible to establish a friendship or a simple conversation when riding the bus to school.

Public transportation is essential for the welfare of a thriving city such as Lubbock and for college students who are low on cash. For many, it is the only form of transportation to get to class.

However, not many who take advantage of this system are conversational or polite to others who also take advantage of public transportation. Is it too difficult for someone to take a moment to notice others and perhaps even make someone else’s day by simply initiating a greeting or a smile?

According to the Public Transportation website, “In 2013, Americans took 10.7 billion trips on public transportation, the highest annual ridership number in 57 years.

35 million times each weekday, people board public transportation. Public transportation is a $58 billion industry that employs nearly 400,000 people.”

The one thing that irritates me the most is when students load on the bus and bypass the empty seats only to stand in the aisle. What is the deal?

Today, I noticed eight empty seats filled with various items such as backpacks, laptops and other personal items that could have been put on the floor, allowing others who were standing a chance to sit down.

According to an article in The Guardian, “there is a two-way relationship between materialism and loneliness: materialism fosters social isolation; isolation fosters materialism. People who are cut off from others attach themselves

“

Kendra Kimberlin to possessions. This attachment in turn crowds out social relationships.”

The solution to this isolation and materialism requires a simple “excuse me, can I please sit here?”

Could intimidation be a factor many face when having to confront someone to move their stuff?

Perhaps another possibility is seated riders value their possessions and don’t want to place them on the floor.

Or for many students, there is concern their privacy will be invaded by another individual sitting next to them.

According to a San Francisco Chronicle article, “San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency spokesman Paul Rose said Muni is considering its own etiquette campaign and is surveying passengers about

...Not many who take advantage of this system are conversational or polite to others who also take advantage of public transportation.

J

udging from some of the greatest celebratory sporting events today, such as the NFL’s Pro Bowl, the NHL’s All Star Weekend and the MLB’s All Star Weekend, nothing beats the NBA’s All Star Weekend.

The NBA’s All Star Weekend brings together some of the NBA’s previous great players, current professional players and an audience filled with some of the greatest actors, comedians, musicians and all sorts of other people that impact society.

Starting on a Friday night, the NBA holds a celebrity allstar game in which famous television stars, movie stars, musicians and many others play a traditional game of basketball.

N o w, a s an audience we should not expect to see the great plays like those of t h e N B A’s p r o f e s s i o nals, but instead enjoy watching the stars that our society glorifies today participate in something they might not be so great at.

In celebrity games that have taken place in the past, Kevin Hart, a humorous and entertaining comedian, has won the Most Valuable Player award, voted by the fans, for his entertaining and laughable play. Who wouldn’t want to watch Hart, along with other actors and TV stars,

their most common courtesyrelated complaints. He said a campaign would probably tell riders not to lean on or block doors, not to leave large bags in the aisles or on seats, to give seats to seniors and disabled people, and not to smoke, litter, drink or eat.” “ O t h e r p a s s e n g e r s c o mplained of people shoving past without saying, ‘Excuse me,’ listening to music loudly without headphones, blocking doors rather than moving to the center of the trains, trying to board trains before others have disembarked and wielding enormous backpacks, oblivious to those around them,” according to the article.

Many are not comfortable with the idea of a stranger getting a sneak peek of the screen of the person’s handheld cellular devices when sitting next to them on the bus.

E i t h e r w a y, a p e r s o n shouldn’t take up more than one seat on any bus, unless the bus is completely vacant.

It is rude and inconsiderate to others who need to stand due to one’s impoliteness.

Lastly, people should consider saying a nice word to their passenger neighbor and be considerate when putting their bag on a seat when there are others standing. People should practice etiquette when using public transportation.

Tech prepares for No. 3 Bears Baylor escapes

By BRANDON SOLIZ

has been impressive the entire season, leads Baylor with an average of 21.4 points per game.

“Our best defense,” Corkery said, “is our best offense.”

The Lady Raiders post an overall record of 15-10 and a record of 5-8 against the Big 12. Just like the Kentucky team that defeated the Lady Bears at the beginning of the season, the Lady Raiders have a home record of 13-3.

Senior forward Kelsi Baker said her experience is a positive key to leading the team to victory, as she is the only remaining Lady Raider on the team that has defeated the Bears.

Texas Tech will need to keep up the momentum it has been gaining from its past two appearances in conference play, she said, in order to keep up with the Bears.

Baker emphasized the team’s defensive effort and execution offensively it showcased against Kansas State, which was the Lady Raiders’ second consecutive Big 12 win.

“Playing Baylor is always a big task for any team in the country,” Baker said. “We take it as another Big 12 game.”

Baker is currently second on the team in scoring, averaging 8.2 points per game behind senior guard Amber Battle with 16.2 points per game.

Staff Writer

The Texas Tech Lady Raider basketball team is set to try to put an end to the 23-game win streak of the No. 3 Baylor Lady Bears at 7 p.m. today in the United Supermarkets Arena.

This will mark the first matchup of the season between the Lady Raiders and Lady Bears.

Tech assistant coach Mark Corkery said he knows that the Lady Bears are a tough matchup, and said the team must play great defensively to match up against each player and their skills.

“We have to really stress great team defense to eliminate the one-on-one battles,” he said.

“We want to focus on how we prepare, because that’s the key.”

The coaching staff is treating the game as if it were another conference game, Corkery said.

The game plan relies 95 percent on improving as a team and 5 percent on learning and adjusting to their opponent’s plan of attack.

The Baylor Lady Bears lead the Big 12 conference with an overall record of 24-1 and 12-0 record in conference play. The Bears are currently on a 23-game win streak with their last loss being on the road against a stellar Kentucky team in November 2014.

Tech’s first points at the start of the half came from junior guard Devaugntah Williams who scored a layup off an offensive rebound and followed up in Tech’s next possession with a 3-pointer.

The Texas Tech baseball team was defeated for the first time in the 2015 season Tuesday in an 8-4 loss to Nevada, snapping the team’s 20-game home winning streak dating back to last season.

Tech junior first baseman Eric Gutierrez said the team will go right back to work tomorrow and try and improve the areas it did not do well in against the Wolf Pack.

“It’s not going to roll our way all the time,” he said. “We’ve just got to keep plugging and working hard.”

Tech sophomore outfielder Stephen Smith put the Red Raiders out in front early by hitting a leadoff home run in the first inning, but Nevada responded with a solo shot of its own to tie the game at one apiece.

Darwin struck out on four pitches to end the game, but Gutierrez said it was a positive that the Red Raiders were still in the game all the way to the end.

Redshirt sophomore forward Aaron Ross extended the lead to 15-9 with a jumper from the left wing, but the Bears erased Tech’s early lead with a 13-0 run guided by junior forward Taurean Prince and took a 22-15 advantage over Tech. During Baylor’s 13-0 run, Prince scored eight straight points for the Bears.

Baylor’s run ended with a 3 pointer from freshman forward Zach Smith and put back dunk by Odiase after a Baylor free throw cut Tech’s deficit to 23-20 with less than five minutes left in the half.
