Red Raiders fall short in bid to upset No. 8 Kansas

➤➤news@dailytoreador.com

Flight delays increase during winter storm DALLAS (AP) — More than 700 U.S. flights were canceled and about 4,400 were running late on Tuesday as a winter storm swept across the Northeast.

Adding to travelers’ woes: United Airlines experienced problems with its computer system used to check in passengers, print boarding passes and get baggage tags.

By early evening, about 650 United flights and another 1,000 flights on regional affiliate United Express had arrived late or were behind schedule, according to tracking service FlightAware.com. United said that most of the delays were due to the computer glitches.

Travelers took to Twitter to complain to United. Spokeswoman Jennifer Dohm told The Associated Press that the airline fixed the problem and was working to get passengers to their destinations. Glitches also led to widespread delays at United in early 2012, when the computer systems of United and Continental Airlines were combined after their merger.

TEXAS TECH GUARD Robert Turner drives against Kansas guard Naadir Tharpe during the first half of Tech’s 64-63 loss on Tuesday in the United Spirit Arena.

By REX ROSE Staff Writer

The Texas Tech men’s basketball team fell in the final seconds to the No. 8 Kansas Jayhawks 64-63 in a game that had 13 lead changes Tuesday night in the United Spirit Arena.

Kansas coach Bill Self led Kansas to nine consecutive Big 12 Conference titles and said the Jayhawks were fortunate to come out of Lubbock with a win.

“In a game in which both teams guarded well, neither team could get a stop at the end,” he said. “We either made free throws or scored or they made free-throws or scored. Fortunately, we were the one that had the ball last. I was really impressed with Tubby’s team and how hard they played and how well they defended. Certainly, we were fortunate tonight.”

The Red Raiders trailed 30-29 at the break and were outscored by the Jayhawks by one point in each half.

Kansas freshman guard Andrew Wiggins had a game-high 19 points, none more important than his final basket that propelled his team to victory.

Smith gave credit to Wiggins and said the best players make plays when it counts.

“Good teams like Kansas make plays in the end,” he said. “Great players make plays

like that, and the ball just didn’t bounce our way at the end.”

The Red Raiders had five players score in double figures, led by junior forward Jordan Tolbert with 16 points and six rebounds and shot 7-10 from the field.

Gudgel: Men should practice chivalry, act like gentleman

Tech coach Tubby Smith said he felt bad for his players after the loss, but was proud of the way the Red Raiders competed against one of the top teams in the country.

“I’m disappointed for them that we didn’t get this win,” he said. “We played so hard and we played a lot smarter tonight. We got the tempo the way we wanted to and we did some good things. We shared the basketball and took care of the basketball, but we got to regroup. Losing and winning is part of the game.

“We came as close as we have in any game to giving a total and complete effort.

We had some breakdowns, but I was proud of how they competed.”

The Texas Tech football program made a special appearance at the break and five players from the team competed in a dunk contest judged by the crowd.

Clancy David was the fan favorite for his 360 slam and Sam Eguavoen came in second after he put down a two-handed dunk over Raider Red.

The Texas Tech Library is attempting to expand and share its collection of electronic books with universities across the nation.

The Library collaborated with the Springer Academic Publishing Company and the Greater Western Library Alliance to develop software that will facilitate e-book sharing among universities, according to a Tech news release.

The software, Occam’s Reader ILL (interlibrary loan) will allow universities to share collections of e-books published by Springer.

Ryan Litsey, an assistant librarian at the document delivery office, said e-book sharing is difficult among libraries because of the roadblocks in the content’s formatting.

“One of the challenges with electronic books is that they are behind a secure database so it’s very difficult for us to share an electronic book with another university, other students or other researchers,” he said.

Kenny Ketner, a Tech software development manager, said the creation of Occam’s Reader was inspired by the Occam’s razor principle.

The Free Market Institute of Texas Tech hosted a public lecture featuring Vernon L. Smith at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the College of Business Administration building.

Smith is a faculty member for the Economic Science Institute at Chapman University and was a co-recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2002, according to TechAnnounce.

He titled his lecture “Rethinking

Housing Bubbles: Recessions Since 1929” and discussed why crashes in the housing market are linked with recessions.

“When buying homes, consumers change between being buyers and sellers based on how the prices of homes change,” he said. “All economic trouble comes from these types of durable goods because homes last between 75 and 100 years, and you’re buying them with other people’s money.”

Smith said he works largely with experimental economics and presented various graphs throughout his lecture.

Annual West Texas Career Fair hosted Monday

By AMY CUNNINGHAM Staff Writer

Texas Tech pre-professional health careers hosted its annual West Texas Health Career Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Tuesday in the Student Union building.

The fair showcased approximately 30 health professional schools with representatives from each school present to speak with prospective students, Rob Daughtry, senior business assistant, said.

Schools of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physical therapy, optometry, nursing, veterinary medicine and other professional health career programs were represented at the fair.

The schools arrived from across the country and region, including Health Sciences Center, St. George University and Drexel College. Additionally, Daughtry said officials from a medical school in the Caribbean spoke with students.

Even though Tech offers similar

programs at HSC, Daughtry said PPHC wants to benefit its students and provide information on various schools.

“We want to have our students to be really out there,” he said. “We want to have them meet up with other places that may have better opportunities for them.”

At her booth for HSC’s School of Nursing, Georgina Barrera, unit coordinator for the School of Nursing’s student affairs, said she advised students interested in nursing on their options at HSC. “We had a good turnout this year,” she said. “I spoke with students who were already interested, so I just advised on which degree plan was best suited for each student.”

Barrera said she spoke with students of various ages and progression toward a nursing degree. She said one student she spoke with had already graduated from Tech and needed advice on obtaining a second degree from the School of Nursing.

Victoria Wilken, a sophomore prenursing major from Austin, is secretary of Health Occupations Students of America, which had a booth at the fair.

“It’s important for students to see all of the opportunities they have,” she said. “The representatives from all the schools wanted to help students figure out where would be best for them and what programs to look into.”

HOSA officers spoke with students about the benefits of the organization and how it can aid in the path to a health professional school.

PPHC did not have an official count of students who attended, but Daughtry said the fair’s attendance has grown each year. PPHC intends to add more schools and exhibits next year, he said.

“There’s always room for improvement,” Daughtry said. “Every year we just try to do better than the previous year so we can provide for our students.” ➤➤acunningham@dailytoreador.com

PFLAG promotes marriage equality through productions

By KAYLIN MCDERMETT Staff Writer

Texas Tech actors and actresses performed several plays regarding the issue of marriage equality in support of PFLAG, Lubbock’s efforts to promote understanding and acceptance of gays and lesbians in the community.

PFLAG, Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, hosted the Tuesday night event as part of its February meeting. The Lubbock chapter of the national group promotes the health and well-being of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons, their families and friends through support and education, according to the group’s website.

Grace Rogers, the program’s cochair, said she hopes to see increased community involvement in 2014, and hopes events similar to this will help gain support.

“We have been in Lubbock for 20 years,” she said. “This year we will be having socials, programs and even a film showing in May. We’re going to have guest speakers and talk about marriage equality. I’m really excited about the program and the events.”

The performance, “Fierce Strife, Brave Hearts, And Strong Arms,” consisted of three short, individual plays titled “The End of the World,” “Coming Out” and “For All the Saints,” each about the struggles and issues plaguing

today’s gay community.

Actors and actresses from Tech, as well as outside actors, participated in the plays. Jonathon Peck, Susan Stone-Lawrence and Troy Battle, graduate theater students, performed in the plays alongside Amy Kim and Daniel Donahue.

“The End of the World” introduced a mother and father who recently found out their daughter was a lesbian. The five-minute performance consisted of the father acting distraught at the news and his wife comforting him and assuring him their daughter’s decision was hers to make. The goal was to showcase the difficulty many in the gay community face when it comes to revealing

Tech yearbook wins national awards Texas Tech’s yearbook, La Ventana, won 25 awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for it 2013 volume Monday.

Out of 51 submitted entries from Tech, 25 won awards in the press association’s Golden Circle Awards Program, which honors publications from colleges, universities and high schools.

“I guess it’s a pretty big deal,” Isaac Villalobos, a junior electronic media and communication major from El Paso, said.

Villalobos said he had no idea he was entered in the contest, or much about the awards. He woke up to the news that he won six awards.

According to the Columbia Scholastic Press Association’s website, 4,279 entries were submitted this year for the awards, and judges picked 974 of those entries to award either first, second or third place, or certificates

of merit for honorable mentions.

“There were also a few categories where we also swept it,” Villalobos said.

La Ventana won first, second and third place in the Sports Features photo category.

Emily de Santos, a junior electronic media and communication major from Austin, said winning the awards was exciting.

De Santos was happy to hear the photography section of the La Ventana won 10 awards, she said.

“Some of the schools I was looking at were pretty big, so it’s nice to see Texas Tech at the top,” she said.

Tech beat out other Big 12 schools such as Baylor and the University of Oklahoma in categories.

“Awards vary from everything from the stories that are written to the cover design, to the photographs that were in the book,” Marissa Whitworth, former editor-

in-chief of the La Ventana, said. “It really covers everything that went into the entire publication.”

The awards look at overall journalism and publication design, she said.

Whitworth said having a nationally acclaimed student publication gets other students interested in student media.

“I think it’s important because it really helps get people interested in publication design,” she said.

Whitworth said she was incredibly proud for everyone involved, since the smaller staff had to accomplish so much, and still managed to win many awards for its work.

“It’s amazing,” she said.

Students have their own schedules and have to make time for something that is important for them, which really makes a difference, Whitworth said. ➤➤msullivan@dailytoreador.com

Abbott welcomes Nugent but ducks divisive remarks DENTON(AP) — Republican Greg Abbott welcomed salty-tongued rocker Ted Nugent to his campaign for Texas governor on Tuesday but claimed ignorance about inflammatory remarks his polarizing surrogate has made on immigration and women.

Nugent has suggested that immigrants who are not in

the country legally should be treated like “indentured servants” until they earn citizenship. He has referred to feminists as “fat pigs” and used lewd language about women in song lyrics and interviews.

The Texas attorney general celebrated Nugent’s avid defense of gun rights — Nugent is a board member of the National

Rifle Association — during their first campaign rally together at a packed North Texas restaurant.

But speaking alone to reporters afterward, Abbott said he couldn’t respond to some of Nugent’s more famously divisive remarks on others issues.

“I can’t comment on them, because I don’t know what he said,” Abbott said.

their sexuality to their parents.

“Coming Out” was based on a true story where a young man is set to marry his girlfriend when he decides to come out as gay. The dialogue between the boy and his mother portrayed the difficulties in a gay individual seeking family approval, while also not wanting to ruin a relationship with a significant other.

“For All the Saints” was the longest of the performances and also based on a true story. Actors played a pair of friends, a pastor and a congressman, arguing about the issue of gay marriage in the state. The play ended in the pastor expressing his desire to promote love and equality, even though it was

against the church’s beliefs.

Norman Bert, a professor of playwriting, created the plays and said the idea of writing plays about the gay community was presented to him by a member of PFLAG and was excited to take on the task.

“Recently, I’ve been writing short plays,” he said. “I was asked by one of the ladies here, ‘Why don’t you do a play for us about gays and lesbians?’

So I thought it would be a great idea.”

Peck also served alongside Bert as director of the plays. He said it was his job to organize, research and plan the performance. He said the entire night and subject matter was interesting and exciting.

research focus for the university.

“We talk about ‘From Here, It’s Possible’ — we’re changing the world with the technologies we’re developing right here at Texas Tech,” he said.

“It’s exciting that we have a team here and with the chancellor and vice president of research that are ready and excited to make this university a competitor with places like Stanford, Georgia Tech and MIT.” In the coming year, the OTC staff hopes to launch an outreach and marketing campaign to make Tech faculty, staff and students aware of the services the OTC has to offer with the hopes of sparking new ideas, Velasquez said.

“The office of technology commercialization wants to make these people aware of our services,” he said, “and show that they can be accessed readily.”

With the help of staff in the office, students at Tech are continuing to

increase the amount of innovation and ideas coming from the university, according to the release.

In the future, Tech administration, partnered with the state of Texas and federal research entities for funding, is planning to focus research into all of its system members, he said, and develop west Texas into what they’re calling “Silicon Prairie.”

“We pitched the Silicon Prairie idea to the state-emerging technology fund and they funded Texas Tech to oversee this,” he said. “They have agreed to give us $300,000 and up to $1 million. The federal government, through the economic development fund, has agreed to fund us $300,000.

That’s an endorsement by the state and federal government that the vision for this regional ecosystem can compete against Austin, Dallas, Houston and even Boston and Silicon Valley.”

After comparing the various recessions, Smith said monetary expansion and governmental deficiency spending would not fix housing and bank balance sheets.

Current investors politically oppose his proposed solutions because they will lose money, he said.

“If bank mortgages are marked down to current market values, banks and investors will lose money,” Smith said.

“This will allow new capital to directly support new lending and not be diluted by past investments that failed.”

Lawrence Schovanec, provost and senior vice president of Tech, helped create the Free Market Institute.

He said he called Smith when he learned the institute had been funded, and Smith advised in the planning.

Tech founded the institute last year to bring widely acknowledged individuals to speak to students, Powell said.

“Texas Tech’s goal is to be a great research university,” Schovanec said.

“The institution contributes to the most appealing aspects for students: hearing speakers, participating in discussions and learning outside of the classroom.”

The audience completely filled the Grand Ballroom in the College of Business and Administration, and attendees were students and older community members alike.

After his lecture, Smith answered various questions the audience posed about his ideas for fixing the economy.

“A fall in the stock market does not seriously damage the housing market or banks because of property rights,” he said. “Fees on loans should be spread out over the payments of the borrower because the bank suffers if a loan fails.

Ultimately, there is no painless way out of a recession.”

The office has set forth specific goals in the past year to better help students with new ideas, Tech System Chancellor Kent Hance said in a news release.

The goals were to restructure and consolidate operations; engage faculty, administrators, alumni and industry; develop new patent strategies using outside law firms; and leverage more funding and influence university culture to encourage innovation, according to the communication.

These new goals were inspired by the shift in leadership at the university and in the OTC office, Arrington said.

He said in previous recessions, the recovery of the housing market resulted as the economy recovered.

“The Great Recession is the only one out of the 14 recessions that the housing market has not bounced back,” Smith said.

Badminton Club embraces diversity of members

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

Texas Tech has a wide variety of sports teams, and fans have the opportunity to support more popular and less known sports.

While student attendance records have been set at football games this year, the Raider Badminton Club does not have a fan base of the same strength.

Jing Xie, a graduate student double majoring in chemistry and biochemistry from China, said she decided to make an official club for badminton last April.

“A group of people had already been playing together at the Rec for a few years,” she said. “I wanted to make a club so that the university could support us to play.”

The club meets every Friday, Saturday and Sunday to play games for fun, but they have official practices from 1-2 p.m. on Saturdays.

Nur Wijaya, a freshman petroleum engineering major from Indonesia, said the club has a mix of beginners and more advanced players.

“During our training, we start with the easiest exercises before moving to harder ones,” he said. “We can teach somebody how to hold the racket, which may seem trivial but it’s not. We also do exercises for technique before

actually adding the birdie.”

The current coaches of the club are David Huang and Mark Isidro, but there have been other coaches including the former coach for the Vietnamese national badminton team.

Quoc Nguyen, a junior mechanical engineering major from Vietnam, said there is something in the club for everyone on camopus.

“I’m not very good at badminton, so training with the coaches helps me improve my skills,” he said. “Competitive players should also join because we look for tournaments outside of Tech too.”

While these tournaments are usually close to Tech, the team is traveling outside of Lubbock to compete in tournaments this year.

During spring break, the team will compete in a tournament at Mississippi State University.

“This will be the first tournament a team from Tech has competed in that is more on a national level,” Wijaya said.

The club also hosts its own tournament at the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center once a semester, which occurred last weekend.

The Tech and Lubbock community is welcome to sign up for the club or come out to play, Xie said.

“Badminton is getting more diverse here at Tech,” Xie said. “Three years

ago, there was a badminton tournament that had only Chinese students participate. Our tournament last semester had 50 participants who were more diverse.”

The club also participates in community service and outreach events.

Wijaya said when the club was first formed, members went to Wright Elementary School and performed demonstrations to teach the students about badminton.

“We focus on doing events like these to advertise badminton,” Wijaya said. “We are getting people curious because more people are showing up to the Rec to play.”

There are currently 30 active members in the club who are from the Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, Indonesia, the U.S. and other countries.

Xie said the members are not only diverse in nationality, but they also range in age.

“We have members that are Tech students, some who are faculty members and others who are local residents,” she said. “We should really be called the Lubbock Badminton Club.”

The club goes beyond being a sports team, Nguyen said, because the members help each other like a family does.

The family setting is fitting because the faculty members often bring their children to play, and many of the

Tech rugby continues practice for competition despite bumps

PHOTO BY DANIELLE ZARAGOZA/The Daily Toreador

TEXAS TECH RUGBY players warm up before starting practice Tuesday at the Robert H. Walt Student Recreation Center fields.

The Texas Tech rugby team got pumped for their first game last weekend against Sam Houston State University, only to have the other team forfeit.

Tech rugby coach Grant Murchison, a senior mechanical engineering major from Keller, said last year they won against SHSU pretty easily, and they were almost positive they could have won.

“We also have a few new people, such as freshmen, and not too many graduated from last year,” Murchison said, “so that would have helped us out.”

He said he has been playing rugby since he was in the seventh grade.

His friend’s dad was an All-American who played for The University of Oklahoma and several Dallas teams before becoming a coach, he said.

Sochi tension: Pussy Riot members briefly detained SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Russian punk group Pussy Riot burst onto the Olympic scene Tuesday when two of its members were picked up by police in host city Sochi — and then ran away defiant down a rain-soaked street a few hours later, shouting and wearing their trademark garish balaclavas.

The police questioning of Russia’s most recognizable punk rockers, along with detentions of gay rights and other activists in recent days, brought political tensions to

the fore at Vladimir Putin’s showcase Winter Olympics.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina, along with seven others, were held by police near Sochi’s ferry terminal, a popular area for fans celebrating the Olympics.

Police said they were questioned in connection with a theft at the hotel where they were staying. No charges were filed.

“Putin will teach you how to love the motherland!” the women chanted on leaving the police sta-

‘Pandemonium’ reported on flight BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A crew member remained hospitalized Tuesday after violent turbulence triggered “pandemonium” aboard a United Airlines flight into Billings and sent passengers and crew flying through the cabin, according to company representatives and passengers.

Ejay Old Bull said drinks had just been served and passengers were moving around the cabin on the flight from Denver when the plane started to lurch violently with no prior warning, approximately 55 minutes into the hourand-a-half flight.

“It was a solid 20 seconds of pandemonium,” said Old Bull, a 26-year-old graduate student who was returning to school at Billings’ Rocky Mountain College. “What really hurt people and what really got everyone panicked was when the plane tipped to the right and dropped for about four or five seconds. That’s when people started praying.”

Old Bull said he watched his unrestrained seatmate crash headfirst

into the overhead luggage bin and briefly lose consciousness. Meanwhile, a crew member was bouncing around in the galley just behind his seat, Old Bull said.

Federal safety officials said they were looking into the incident that left three crew members and two passengers injured.

No details were available on the condition of the female crew member who remained hospitalized. United spokeswoman Christen David said an airline supervisor was by her side at the hospital.

The Boeing 737-300 involved has been taken out of service while the airline reviews what happened, David said.

“Our flight safety investigators are working closely with the NTSB to analyze the flight data,” she said in an emailed response to questions.

Flight 1676 encountered the unusually rough turbulence Monday afternoon while flying over Wyoming at an altitude of 34,000 feet, authorities said.

tion, their fists in the air and blue, pink and orange ski masks concealing their faces.

Pussy Riot gained international attention in 2012 after barging into Moscow’s main cathedral and performing a “punk prayer” in which they entreated the Virgin Mary to save Russia from Putin, who was on the verge of returning to the Russian presidency for a third term.

Tolokonnikova and Alekhina were sentenced to two years in prison, but were released in December under

an amnesty bill seen as a Kremlin effort to assuage critics of its human rights record before the Olympics.

Both women called for the boycott of the Sochi Games.

Tolokonnikova said Tuesday’s detention followed three days of police harassment. She also said the two band members were detained for several hours the previous two days.

“We members of Pussy Riot have been here since late Sunday and we were constantly detained since then,” Tolokonnikova said after her release.

Forever looks good on you.

be on the team, I never looked back,” Murchison said.

He said rugby is a mix between soccer and football, flowing like soccer but more physical like football.

Jordan Talley, a senior marketing major and captain of the team, said he feels the team is really prepared to start competing.

The team has put many hours and days training for this moment, he said, and has worked harder than any other semester.

“We started off with two-a-days at the beginning of the semester,” Talley said. “Now we have conditioning on Monday nights, practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes Saturdays and Sundays as well.”

Talley said Murchison is a great coach and has fully prepared them for this upcoming season.

Since Murchison is the same age as the players, he really knows how to relate to them and get on the same level as them, Talley said.

“He is a great communicator with the players,” Talley said. “It’s because he is one of us.”

Lukin Wakely, a junior history major from San Antonio, said he is ready for their first game.

Wakely said since the weather was so bad the weekend of the Feb. 7, the team also missed their first game at OU. “We weren’t allowed to drive in the weather, so we had to put off our first game,” he said.

Wakely said he believes the team is extremely prepared and the outcome of their first game looks bright for Tech.

They have been practicing nonstop, Wakley said, even in the freezing cold because they are determined to be the best.

“It’ll be 10 degrees outside and we’ll have practice,” he said. “But if that makes us come out on top, then I’m alright with that.”

Opinions

Men should practice chivalry, act like gentlemen Lauren Gudgel strong enough, smart enough and have the means to be independent in today’s society?

Women certainly have no right to complain about the male populous losing its ability to be chivalrous and romantic. We practically demanded that we be treated as men. However, do you agree that a man should still stand up for his own right to be a gentleman?

I could even try to blame modern-day culture for the lack of gentlemen in the world. Swagger has taken over and pants are dropped to their knees, and the

fact that men won’t give up their seat on the bus for a lady infuriates me.

I’m not a mother — I don’t even have any brothers — but I can guarantee that my parents would never have let my sister or I watch any of the racist, sexist and trashy content that is on TV today. MTV is teaching our boys that it’s okay to treat women like we’re just another notch in their belt, maybe even their bedpost. Unless you had a father like mine, you could easily be swayed to think that what is seen in music videos and on reality television is the way you should act.

I was raised in a home where my father was the man of the

“

house. What he said was law, and if he ever saw that my sister or I disrespected our mother, he would have our hide. He also taught us that to live in today’s society we would have to have tough skin.

He knew that times were changing and it was relatively unlikely that we would always find ourselves in the company of real gentlemen, and so he taught us not to cry and to be somewhat independent if we ever had to be on our own.

Thankfully, my sister and I both found delightful husbands, but it doesn’t change the fact that we, or at least I given that I am always on campus, are surrounded by boys who don’t feel

It’s not difficult to act how a gentleman should act.

hope you haven’t come down from your Valentine’s Day high yet. In fact, I hope you never do. Like I said last week, Valentine’s Day symbolizes much more than one day of love; it’s a stepping-stone to make you realize that every day is worth living in love.

Gentlemen, this article is for you. While I normally insist on writing about how the girls of Texas Tech act like ladies, I’m going to push on you young men to practice the lost art of chivalry.

I’m going to insist you continue the way you act on special days like Valentine’s Day for the rest of your life.

Who is the real culprit when it comes to the loss of chivalry? Is it women? Easily I could blame the feminist movement, something I’m actually quite offended by.

Should we as women refuse a man’s help simply because we are

like they should respect a woman as a lady. I am insanely offended at the words I hear coming from a “man’s” mouth. Didn’t anyone ever teach you not to speak to a lady like that?

So who is the real culprit?

Mark Foster, author of “How To Be A Dad Today,” says, “I don’t blame the culture. I don’t blame the female population. I blame the men who allowed themselves to be bullied into changing their behavior. Part of being a man is standing up for what is right. As I told that lady the day she criticized me for holding the door: ‘I didn’t hold the door for you because you are a lady.

I held the door for you because I am a gentleman.’ She didn’t like that answer.”

I could never have said it better myself. Why is just being gentlemen not a good enough reason for you young men to change your ways now? Do you honestly want

to be remembered as someone who had no respect for women? Think about your mothers, your sisters and your future daughters. Would you treat them the way you treat the general female populace?

Open car doors, walk her to her front door and pull her seat out for her when she goes to sit down in a restaurant. These aren’t monumental notions. It’s not difficult to act how a gentleman should act.

It won’t take a lot of effort, and it will not go unnoticed.

A simple change could completely transform your life. It will decipher the kind of women you attract, it will make her parents happy and it will set an example for your future sons. It will change the world. Don’t you want to be that change?

GUEST COLUMN New Facebook gender additions commendable Texas Tech libraries conserving, creating music Facebook often makes changes we don’t like; changes to the layout of our newsfeeds, information-sharing policies and general appearance of the site. But last Thursday, Facebook made a change to which we can give all the likes in the world. The social networking site now allows users to choose from an array of 58 different gender options beyond just male and female. The gender options range from agender, or “genderless,” to cisgender, which describes a person who identifies with the gender they were assigned at birth, according to The Washington Post.

Social networking sites more or less exist to allow users to interact and present themselves to the world. We believe Facebook’s gender options permit and encourage diversity among its members, and applaud the site for adding selections to let users represent themselves as accurately as possible.

Of course, there will always be jokesters who will select a gender option because they find it amusing.

However, the options allow countless users all over the world to show their true identities and not be forced to box themselves into either “male” or “female.”

The new options could also allow individuals with similar gender selections, perhaps people transitioning between genders, to find and support each other. With all of the trolling and online bullying in the virtual world, we believe Facebook’s options are more than a step in the right direction. It is a stance signifying that the company recognizes and

“

accepts the diversity of its users.

In fact, we hope more websites will adopt Facebook’s gender approach. Nearly every website requiring users to create an account — from virtual retailers to gaming sites — either requires or offers the option to select your gender, which is almost always limited to male or female.

We understand that gender information collected by websites is often used for customization and advertising purposes. But wouldn’t it make a lot more sense, both for a website and its users, to offer multiple gender options that would allow accurately targeted information and advertising?

We hope the gender options on Facebook are the beginning of an Internet trend. We are part of a generation that understands equality should not stop at sexual orientation, and we love that Facebook created its gender options in conjunction with LGBTQ, according to a CNN article.

I t ’s a b o u t time we embrace equality and diversity on our social media sites, just as states all across the country are doing. From Utah to right here at home, federal judges are ruling against the constitutionality of gay marriage bans.

Although gender options on one site are undoubtedly a small step, it is an important step toward the acceptance of all people, regardless of gender identity. Great things often start out small, after all Facebook itself started out as an experiment in Mark Zuckerberg’s dorm room. We will be watching to see if Facebook’s newest innovation sparks changes to gender options on other websites as well.

Although gender options on one site are undoubtedly a small step, it is an important step toward the acceptance of all people...

In 1999, the Texas Legislature recognized the wealth of musical talent from our area and designated Lubbock and West Texas the “Crossroads of Texas Music.” A few years later, the Crossroads of Music Archive was established in the Southwest Collection/Special C ollection s L ibrary on th e Texas Tech campus.

The archive collects all music genres from the Lubbock region, Texas and the great Southwestern United States. It contains music recordings, oral histories, photos, posters, songbooks and other ephemera from many musicians. In its short history, the archive has attained more than 100 collections.

The archive is the official repository for Michael Martin Murphey, Jesse “Guitar” Taylor, David Box, the Tommy and Charlene Hancock Family,

Keith Ferguson and Bob Livingston, and houses the Don Caldwell Studio master tape collection, among many others.

The archive staff continues to search out new collections.

Currently we are in the field collecting oral histories and materials related to Tejano and conjunto music. We are also actively collecting stories and materials of women in Texas music.

The Crossroads archive works on campus and in the community curating exhibits to help educate people about the music of the area. Currently the archive has the “Crossroads of Music” exhibit at the Preston Smith International Airport and recently exhibited “West Texas Guitar” at the Buddy Holly Center. The traveling exhibit, “Supernatural,” the story of the Tommy and

Charlene Hancock family, was at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar in Austin.

If you know someone who is a musician who should be interviewed, or has a collection of materials for the archive, you can contact me at the Crossroads Music Archive. The email address is crossroads.swco@ttu. edu. The phone number is 806742-3749.

In 2012, the University Library expanded its music initiative by opening the Crossroads Recording Studio located in the Library basement. All current Texas Tech students, faculty and staff on the Lubbock campus are able to record in the studio for free. The professional sound recording studio is a Pro Tools-based studio capable of multitrack recording.

The studio can record up to 32 tracks of digital audio

live and is equipped with high quality outboard gear to ensure professional quality sounding projects. The studio can record anything from spoken word to a full band and employs two fulltime sound engineers for your recording needs. The studio is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day of the week.

You must make an appointment, however, to use the studio. Please contact Amy Devoge if you have any questions about using the studio. She can be reached at 806-742-2250, or by email at amy.devoge@ttu.edu.

You can request studio time at http://library.ttu.edu/crossroadsrecordingstudio.

Taking pride in work essential to academic, professional success

By EMILY DESHAZER

The Collegian (Kansas sTaTe U.)

It’s 5:00 p.m. on a Sunday night, and you have the choice between doing your homework that is worth maybe half a percent of your grade and will take three hours, and staying snuggled up in your PJ’s to watch the next episode of your favorite TV show on Netflix.

How many students are going to choose the first situation if faced with that dilemma? Not many from my experience.

From my experience, a lot of students tend to do “just enough” to get by on homework assignments. Skating by on small homework assignments seems like no big deal, right? They aren’t worth a significant part of a grade, and its value in the overall scheme of your academic career may seem very minor.

But continuously skating by on seemingly small assignments should be a cause for concern for students. Repeatedly not doing your best limits how much you can improve and can lead to long term regret.

Doing your best is exactly as it sounds; take pride in your work because you are confident that you spent the necessary

time and effort to make it the best you can. Putting your best foot forward in academic work puts you in the best place possible for improvement- practice makes perfect, after all. That doesn’t mean you have to be perfect- striving for perfection is exhausting and unrealistic- but give yourself a real chance to make legitimate mistakes and learn from them.

Legitimate mistakes aren’t missed periods or misspelled words in a final draft of an essay because you didn’t read it over before turning it in. Those are silly mistakes that distract from the overall ability to learn from an experience.

While they should be avoidable with some proofreading and time, they distract readers from being able to identify and help with legitimate problems such as comprehension or application errors. Being careless or not putting your best foot forward limits your ability to learn the most possible from each academic experience.

Personally, I motivate myself by thinking, “You never know who’s watching.” It sounds creepy, but it’s true. How can you expect to know how many people will come in contact with your work,

whether it is a college project, a social media post or a picture from Saturday night’s festivities?

If an employer finds a piece of work that I produced or otherwise reflects directly on me, I sincerely hope that it is an accurate representation of my skills, work ethic and personal beliefs. If it’s not, I know that I still need to work to improve it until I’m proud to be associated with it.

As a photographer, there have been many times where I’ve been forced to consider the compromise between quality, time, and, honestly, sleep. When it’s two or three o’clock in the morning, I must decide between producing quality work that I’m proud of, or getting to bed an hour earlier. It’s challenges like this that make me remember my philosophy that what I do that might be someone’s only lasting impression of my skills, work ethic and values.

As a member of the media industry, I know that my example is not typical of most majors. Whether or not your academic or personal work gets published, displayed in the hallway in your major’s department, or posted on Facebook, the same values are applicable.

representation of who you are, and you should be proud of it.

The Internet puts a lot of information at the finger tips of potential employers, future in-laws, and others. If I “google” my name, it pulls up lots of information and samples of my work. All it takes is one click for anyone to see what I’ve done- whether it is published work, clubs I’m involved in, or achievements I’ve accomplished. It’s important to remember the digital side to striving for your best; once it’s out there, it’s incredibly hard to take it back.

Of course, striving for perfection can lead to be overworked and stressed out, which can be just as detrimental as not putting in enough effort. Life should be about finding a happy medium between the two ends of the spectrum.

What you consider “your best” can change from day to day, depending on your health, place in life, amount of sleep and many other factors. But if you do put in the work, don’t let yourself procrastinate and put your best foot forward, then you get to lead a life without regrets – and that should be worth more than any show on Netflix you can find.

Competition generates success

By DAWIT HAILE Staff Writer

Texas Tech junior jumper JaCorian Duffield receives much attention as one of the track and field team’s top athletes, but there is a fellow jumper nipping at his heels.

That jumper is sophomore Bradley Atkins.

Duffield is ranked fifth in the high jump nationally, according to the Track and Field Results Reporting System.

Duffield earned this ranking in the high jump because he completed a schoolrecord high jump of 7 feet 3.75 inches at the Red Raider Open.

Atkins may not own the school-record high jump, but he is in a two-way tie for sixth in the nation with a jump reaching a height of 7 feet 3 inches.

He completed the bar last weekend at the Don Kirby Collegiate Elite in New Mexico.

Coach Kittley said the success Atkins and Duffield are experiencing tends to spread throughout the team.

When the team sees two Red Raiders performing at such a high level, there is a responsibility felt to step its game up, Kittley said.

Duffield said this competitiveness between him and Atkins is responsible for their success.

“We have always had that battle,” Duffield said.

However, this need to exceed the exploits of the other did not just come out of nowhere. It all originates from practice, Duffield said. Assistant coach James Thomas pushes the two to not settle for second against one another.

Some athletes may falter in the midst of an environment so solidly entrenched in the tradition of competition, but he and Atkins just love winning so much, Duffield said.

“As soon as you have a bad day,” Duffield said, “(Atkins) is ready and willing to take the spot. It keeps you humble in practice. It keeps you working in the weight room and knowing if he hits a bar or squats a certain weight and you don’t, you know it can possibly come back (to hurt you).”

Despite the focus on competition between Duffield and Atkins, the two jumpers are still teammates first.

The pair keeps the lines of communication flowing at meets, Atkins said. Following jumps, the other will offer advice on how to possibly improve from the last jump if needed.

Duffield and Atkins approach meets differently because of the different personalities they possess, Atkins said.

Duffield has a more laid-back, relaxed type of personality, so he is usually not speaking much to anyone to allow himself to become focused, Atkins said, while Atkins tends take a more energetic, vocal approach so he can pump himself for his jump.

The disparity in personalities allows them to even each other out so they can perform at an optimal level, Duffield said.

“Sometimes I need to feed off his energy,” Duffield said, “and sometimes I feel like me jumping bars when I am

serious helps him get serious. So, I think it is a perfect balance in terms of our personalities.”

The intuitive relationship the two has gone a long way in helping them progress the way they have, Kittley said.

However, Duffield has been able to provide Atkins more assistance in this relationship with information exclusive to experienced high jumpers who have reached a certain level of success, Kittley said.

What Duffield has told Atkins about Nationals, Kittley said, has provided a goal to reach for.

“Jacorian had made the national meet in Iowa, and then he made the national meet in Eugene last year,” he said. “He has been at the national meet two years in a row. So the experience he has gained will help Bradley because he is able to share that with Bradley.”

When Duffield set a new school record with his jump of 7 feet 3.75 inches, it just added more motivation for Atkins, Kittley said.

The record before Duffield’s may have taken 30 years to be broken, but Atkins said he does not believe the new record will remain for too long.
