MUSICAL LUBBOCK CHORALE HOSTS 40TH ANNIVERSARY GALA

t was in the middle of the song “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love” that a couple sitting in the front row of the audience started swaying their shoulders and singing along with the chorale.

The upbeat tune had the entire room of the Legacy Event Center humming and dancing in their seats. A 1940s cabaret was the theme of the night on Saturday evening as the Lubbock Chorale hosted its 40th year anniversary gala for the group.

When The Daily Toreador first met up with the chorale, it had only been a few weeks into rehearsing its performances and drawn up the figures as to who would sing what. Its regular 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday night practices were filled, and it seemed that most of the members of the group attended — of course there were some stragglers, but the turnout was impressive.

“Practice is almost like therapy,” Ellen Peffley, president of the board of directors and alto singer for the Lubbock Chorale, said. “It just gives me a delightful feeling.”

Because the chorale is made up of both community members and Texas Tech students, there is a challenge in picking practice times in which all members can be in attendance. So for rehearsal time, it relies heavily on its tradition and precedence of Tuesday night practices.

It has faith in the hope that people will turn up to the practice times, John Hollins, associate professor and associate

Michael Molina, vice chancellor of facilities, planning and construction, presented a name for the new indoor football training facility at Texas Tech at the Texas Tech University System Board of Regents meeting.

The Edward E. Whitacre Jr. Athletic Complex will be now include the Gary Petersen Family Indoor Football Facility.

According to the presentation, the facility is named after the donor.

The board also approved the name for the nutrition center within the facility. The nutrition center will be named the PlainsCapital Bank Nutrition Center, according to the presentation.

At the meeting, the board also accepted a gift-in-kind for the Tech Equestrian Center. According to the presentation, Curtis and Sue Griffith donated 2.016 acres, an estimated value of $89,000, to the university.

Additionally, the board approved an expansion and budget increase to the renovations of the Petroleum Engineering building.

According to the presentation, the renovation will create industrial labs, a new computer lab, conference room, new ceiling and lighting in some office space and other updates and replacements.

1. director of choral studies and artistic director of the Lubbock Chorale, said.

The group does have an attendance policy that can be worked around depending on circumstances. For any one concert, there are a certain number of rehearsals a singer is allowed to miss.

For all practices, Hollins said, there is always a positive environment in which there is mutual respect between singers and the director.

“Sometimes we do have fun with it.

I will exaggerate a certain undesired sound,” he said. “Always exaggerate and I make it clear that I’m exaggerating. And then offer a counter to that, a choice A and B. ‘What shall we choose, what sounds better to you?’”

Tech’s winning streak snapped by No. 2 Kansas

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

The longest Big 12 streak for the Texas Tech men’s basketball team came to an end Saturday morning in Allen Fieldhouse after suffering a 67-58 loss to the No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks.

Missed opportunities followed the Red Raiders against Kansas at the start of the game. Despite grabbing seven offensive rebounds in the first half, Tech only converted three points from its secondchance possessions.

Passing the 10-minute mark of the first half, the Kansas offensive attack did not let up and opened a 10-point lead at the 5:49 mark with Tech behind 26-16. Sophomore guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk brought the Jayhawks to their largest lead of the game after letting up a 3-pointer for a 29-18 Kansas advantage.

Senior guard Toddrick Gotcher helped Tech to overcome its first half stumbles with his outside shooting as he went 4 for 5 from the 3-point line.

Two consecutive 3-pointers from

Gotcher brought the Red Raiders to within five until Mykhailiuk brought down a right corner 3-pointer at the buzzer to send the Jayhawks to halftime up 37-29.

The Kansas defense closed down the mid-range shot for the Red Raiders, as Tech shot for a combined 32.3 percent from the field.

On the other side of the court, the Jayhawks shot for 44.4 percent from the court.

Starting the second half, Kansas came out firing and took a 16-point lead after junior guard Frank Mason dropped a 3-pointer with 11:26

left in the game. Heading into the final 10 minutes, Tech attempted a comeback by going on 8-0 run to cut a 20-point deficit.

A trip to the free-throw line near the eight-minute mark gave junior forward Aaron Ross his first points of the game and trimmed the Kansas lead to 10 points. Another pair of free throws from Ross brought the deficit to eight points. Kansas, however, scored five straight points and placed Tech behind 63-52 with less than three minutes left. From there, the Jayhawks drained the game clock and recorded their 39th

straight win at home.

The loss brought Tech’s overall record to 18-10 and Big 12 record to 8-8. Kansas’ victory gave the Jayhawks a share of their 12th straight Big 12 conference title.

Gotcher scored a game-high 20 points and Tech combined for 31.2 percent shooting. Mykhailiuk scored 17 points for the Jayhawks.

Seasonal affective disorder is a type of depression related to the weather. It concerns both biological and emotional disturbances in a pattern dependent on seasons, according to a December 2013 article in the Indian Journal of Clinical Practice.

SAD tends to affect more women than men, at a rate of four females to every one male affected, according to the article, and rates decrease as people get older, with older males and females being equally susceptible, according to the article.

“I’m like a true Texan so I love hot weather. I’ll tolerate the cold,” Caitlyn Barnett, a freshman zoology major from Keller, said.

While she may feel a little down when the weather is colder, she said, it is nothing drastic.

“When it’s too cold, I don’t like it, because I’m not used to this really cold

weather, so it’s so difficult to walk from one building to another,” Dylan Anselmi, a freshman mechanical engineering major from Caracas, Venezuela, said.

When the weather is hot, it is more like his home, he said. When the weather is cold, he does not enjoy it.

The winter variant of SAD only affects 5 percent of Americans, according to CNN. Those affected tend to eat and sleep more, and are often treated by exposure to simulated daylight.

Some individuals, even those from Texas, prefer colder weather.

“I prefer the colder weather. It’s nice to walk in. It puts me in a better mood,” Steven Kain Lara, a sophomore chemistry major from Midland, said.

There is also a summer variant of SAD that accounts for an estimated 10 percent of the total SAD cases, and since it is so relatively uncommon, it is often overlooked, according to CNN. Those affected can feel isolated when they

think about other people having fun outdoors.

According to the Indian Journal of Clinical Practice, people with SAD show symptoms similar to other forms of depression, but have a history of a seasonal pattern to its reoccurrence.

While not a determining

factor, they can also crave carbohydrates and eat food while never being satisfied.

While these symptoms bother those with winter SAD, those with summer SAD lose their appetites and have to deal with insomnia, according to CNN, and the currently used treatment

for this disorder, staying inside in the dark with the air conditioning up, only works temporarily.

A smaller portion of people, according to CNN, experience SAD in both winter and summer, while feeling fine in fall and spring.

Former Klan leader at center of latest GOP campaign joust LEESBURG, Va. (AP) — Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is drawing criticism for refusing to denounce an implicit endorsement from former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, with Marco Rubio using the matter to hammer the billionaire businessman ahead of the Super

Tuesday primaries.

Trump was asked Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” whether he rejected support from the former KKK Grand Dragon and other white supremacists after Duke told his radio followers this week that a vote against Trump was equivalent to “treason to your heritage.”

Radio program hosts taping at Tech

By DAVID GAY Staff Writer

From the Top, a National Public Radio syndicated radio program, taped an upcoming radio show on Saturday in the Allen Theatre of the Student Union Building.

From the Top is the only national platform showcasing young and pre-collegiate classical musicians, David Balsom, producer of From the Top, said. This is the 16th year that From The Top has been on the air.

This is also the third time From the Top has taped a show in Lubbock, Sherril Skibell, development director for KTTZFM, said.

“The first time we came to Lubbock and worked with KTTZ was back in 2003,” Balsom said. “What has ensued the 13 years since we first came here is a wonderful collaboration.”

During the show, the young musicians perform as if they are at a concert, Skibell said.

“The musicians go through an extensive application process and come from all around the country,” Balsom said.

Two of the musicians chosen are from Lubbock, Skibell said.

When they know what cities they are going to, representatives from the program reach out to members of the community, Balsom said, and for this recording they reached out to music teachers, the Lubbock Youth Symphony and the Texas Music Educators Association.

“Playing well is only partially of why they are on the radio show,” Balsom said. “To make an

From The Top is a program from National Public Radio that showcases pre-collegiate classical musicians. hour of entertaining radio, we need diversity of instruments, repertoire, ages, geography and personality. It’s a variety show. Half of the show is music but half of it is talking to the kids about who they are. That’s what special about the show.”

One of the young musicians on the show, Fiona Shea, a junior in high school from Lubbock and violin player, said she was an avid listener to the program before she came on.

“I thought that some-

day I would be on the program,” Shea said.

“When I was old enough, I applied, especially when I heard that they were coming to Lubbock.”

Shea’s father, David Shea, a professor of clarinet at Texas Tech, said he was amazed by his daughter’s performance.

“My wife and I are musicians, so to see our daughter up there in a more high profile performance experience than I ever got when I was her age was amazing,” David

Shea said.

David Shea said he understood his daughter ’s nerves because she was playing in front of a crowd they were familiar with.

“It’s a little scarier to be here because everybody knows you and as performers, it’s sometimes easier to perform away from home,” David Shea said. “There’s a lot of expectations, a lot of hype.

She knew that she had a lot more pressure on her because all her friends and family were there and were expecting a lot.”

Although she was nervous, Fiona Shea said she knew the crowd was supporting her.

As well as having the musicians on the program, From the Top, in partnership with the Jack Kent Cook Foundation, gives out 20 $10,000 scholarships to musicians who come from families who need financial aid, Balsom said.

“Studies show that pursuing music at this level is expensive,” he said. “The musicians use the award for anything from a new instrument to tuition for a summer program. They also can use it to fund their auditions for college.”

The reason why From the Top chose the Allen Theatre for its taping is because Tech is the center of the community, Balsom said. It brings people on campus to remind them that not only do football and basketball happen here, but quality music is played here too.

Through bringing From the Top to Lubbock, KTTZ-FM gets a great deal of exposure through this taping of the show, Skibell said.

“This episode of From

the Top will be broadcast across the country on public radio all over the United States on the week of April 4,” he said, “and

it will be coming from the Allen Theatre on the campus of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.” @DavidGayDT

KKK rally melee brings mixed emotions I n a weekend article by the Los Angeles Times, it was reported that three people were stabbed in a massive fight that broke out near a Ku Klux Klan rally Saturday afternoon.

All together, 13 people were arrested for the incident, and the culprits responsible for the stabbings were in the mix, according to the article. In another article by the Huffington Post, it was reported the arrests were scattered over a short timeframe, less than an hour.

Both articles go into detail because of a source, Brian Levin of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism. It’s gathered from the articles that Levin was an unbiased onlooker attending the rally for professional reasons.

But Levin goes into great detail as to the events that occurred during the afternoon, and according to him it was counter-protestors who

initially incited the violence.

The day’s protest was an event that had been planned for a while, and the public was aware of the Klan’s gathering, which provoked the counter-protest group to arrive nearly an hour and a half early to the site of the rally, according to the article.

It was when a group of Klans people stepped out of their SUV that they were attacked by the protestors.

This was what caused the entire situation to escalate into what it became — a bloodbath. The three people stabbed were all with the counter-protesting group and those arrested in connection with the stabbings say it was self-defense, ac-

cording to the LA Times.

This brings up the question of violence as a whole, though, because it is, in my opinion, that this situation could’ve been avoided, or at least the harm could have been minimized. From both the Huffington Post and the LA Times, it was reported that the protestors to the Klan were the first to start the brawl.

It’s the issue in every social and political movement that has come about throughout history, whether violence can subdue the actions and thoughts of the negative side.

I think that for the most part it is unanimously agreed that the Klan’s rally was the negative side.

So there is this dichotomy of actions that we see in the events of the weekend, and it becomes hard to answer the question of who had the right to do what.

It was definitely the right of the KKK to have its rally,

but nobody likes them. It was not the right of the protesters to storm their vehicles and assault the Klansmen, but people like them.

There then comes in this thought of action over principle and whether it is proper to act or to stand by principles.

What I see happening is the protestors could have feared that their messages of antiracism, bigotry and all other adjectives that don’t bode well with Klansmen would have not resonated with the group. Therefore, they took it upon themselves to show the Klan that they are the tougher brutes. This was ultimately a mistake and had the potential to cost some people their lives.

It’s oftentimes I think those who yell the loudest know the least, and in most cases it is the KKK that yells the loudest, so I think it would have been a far better display of control and intellectual stability for the pro-

testors to keep peace between the groups.

It seems anybody with a soul disagrees with the Ku Klux Klan, so it should not take much to have the upper hand and peacefully show them that their messages of hate and bigotry have no place in this day and age.

Yet if that’s the case, what is the point of attacking people as they come out of their vehicles? People will always have differing opinions, and attacking them because of their opinion shows everybody else that if we have differing thought and the populous agrees with those thoughts then we should get away with anything.

We have rules set in place to protect people’s right of free speech, and I always think those should be protected, no matter how awful someone’s message may be. There is always an alternative, a way of thinking that gives way to tolerance and peacefulness.

It shouldn’t matter what people say or think, we need to realize there is power in individualized influence.

There are ways to disagree that do not involve bloody knuckles and broken ribs, and we as a whole always need to take the route of peace in any instance.

By no means am I insinuating that the victims sustaining stab wounds deserved that, no. However, I do disagree with the way they went about protesting the Klan. There was so much potential there to cause some type of change, and they could have converted someone’s way of thinking.

But once those folks took the bait, they launched themselves onto the same level the Klansmen are on. By resorting to violence to make their message heard, they became the very thing they set out to fight. @MichaelCantuDT

Friendship instrumental as millennials marry later

T

he day I left was the day I realized how much I was leaving.

The plane hovered over a landscape, rich in adventure and promises of new experiences, but all I could think about was the song humming through my ear buds: Will Reagan repeating, “I will climb this mountain with my arms wide open.” OK, I will.

But with whom am I going to be climbing?

Brenna Skea, who was pretty much my other half since fifth grade, is going to college in the city I had just departed from, the city we both grew up in. Now, with a staggering 14 hours between our homes, it is a little harder to lie in her bed

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

and watch vegan YouTubers argue that pole dancing is the perfect exercise.

I realized while flying farther and farther away that every moment I had spent with her meant more to me than I would ever be able to express. I realized friendship is optional. No certificate or ceremony binds us to each other. No family tie or romantic draw. No mutual need or unhealthy dependence. Nothing forces

friendship, but everything is made complete by it.

To have someone who loves me so dearly and so voluntarily that even through consuming boyfriends, distracting years and staggering distance her love prevails out of sheer will is incredible.

As I am still hours from her, I find myself comforted and completed by the unfaltering faith I have in our friendship. And, while I grow closer to new, precious friends at college, I really see that the joy of companionship through these dear friends is the foundation of a fulfilling life. These friends in whom we don’t find our identity, but instead are encouraged by to embrace our true character

are absolutely priceless.

Perhaps this is what feminists are out to protect and sanctify. Perhaps their mission is not to maintain a bursting independence and rejection of men, but instead an unwavering sense of unconditional love and support through friendship. In fact, in some ways, these friendships have started proving themselves to be much more valuable than many of the other relationships we once depended on.

One relationship I think is challenged by the strength of friendship is marriage.

In fact, I recently learned that 2015‘s marriage rate hit a record low, which is a little alarming. However,

prompted by my discovery of the quiet, ever-present question of whether I will get married, many of my friends have expressed a similar sentiment. It is not so much that we think we will never find someone who loves us, but instead that we are not sure the entanglement of marriage will support, sustain and supplement our lives the way that our friendships do.

As this era continues to foster millennials who are highly independent and heavily affected by the climate of constant, exponential change, we are finding it hard to see the value in permanence and commitment. We find our friendships are different from our romantic relationships

because of the way we gracefully evolve with our friends.

So, even thousands of miles from Brenna, I am still keeping pace with her life and she with mine. This isn’t through structure and consistency, but through our mutual desire to embrace and nurture the friendship, which has always proven itself to be malleable and infallible.

One day, we will both most likely find someone to hitch our lives to and run parallel with. But for now, I take heart in the friendship that has adapted over the years, itself surviving just as many storms as it has helped me weather. aaiken@dailytoreador.com

n 2009, Texas Tech’s head football coach, Mike Leach, was terminated after a debacle with former player Adam James and his dad Craig James, who was a college football analyst for ESPN at that time. According to the most recent publications I have been able to find, it doesn’t seem Leach was ever given his final paycheck.

According to “The battle between Mike Leach and Craig James at Texas Tech,” published on the Sports Illustrated website in 2013 and updated in 2014, it started when Adam James was diagnosed with a mild concussion a few weeks before the Alamo Bowl game in 2009. Earlier in the season, Adam had been de-

moted to third string for poor effort in practices and broke the coach’s door in response to this, so it’s possible Adam wasn’t a standup type of guy or player. When Adam went to practice later (after being diagnosed with the concussion) he was in street clothes and walking laps since he couldn’t practice. His diagnosis was news to Leach, so he was upset and sent Adam away with the trainer under orders to put him somewhere dark.

Adam told his dad that Leach had locked him away in a shed for the practice, but it was proven the trainer was outside the whole time and the shed he was in didn’t even have a lock. In fact, according the article, “the team physician concluded that the coach’s handling of Adam James posed no harm or health risks.” Leach described Craig James as a “helicopter parent” who was only after Leach for his son’s lack of playing time, despite his effortless attitude.

his dad and incriminate Leach. Craig took all this and threatened Tech with letting it all out if they didn’t handle coach Leach. The Board of Regents asked Leach to sign a letter apologizing to the James’, but Leach refused, as he believed he had done nothing wrong and therefore he had nothing to apologize for.

After Leach refused to sign the letter he was suspended and then fired at his hotel in San Antonio the same day of Tech’s bowl game.

Since then, Tech has obtained four new regents to the board, as well as a new chancellor, football coach, athletic director and president — all who “were not involved in the firing of Mike Leach,” accord-

ing to Tom Fornelli’s article, “Full page ad asks Texas Tech to pay Mike Leach’s 2009 salary,” published in July 2014 on the CBS Sports website.

This letter was submitted anonymously under the signature of “alumni and fans of Texas Tech University.”

These fans urged Tech to do the honorable thing and pay Leach. They closed the letter with, “Texas has pride in honest and integrity. Our word is our bond. Texas Tech signed a contract with Mike Leach and up to this point has refused to fulfill this contract.”

According to the writers of this letter, Leach was only paid “$300,000 of the $2.6 million 2009 salary, which includes the $800,000 bonus

that would have been due him for his 10-year career.”

Granted Leach has done fine since then, coaching at Washington State since 2012, but it’s the principle.

Even though coach Kliff Kingsbury has been doing a great job with the Tech football team, he has had to face the tremendous pressures and expectations of Leach’s reign. However, what happened to Leach continues to haunt the image of Tech football. If Leach is paid, then the horror of what happened in 2009 can finally be put in Tech’s past for good and there’s no doubt spirits in Lubbock will rise. emartinez@dailytoreador.com

Trump wants to weaken libel laws, sue reporters Black voters lead Clinton to South Carolina win WASHINGTON (AP) — Feeling maligned by the media, Donald Trump is threatening to weaken First Amendment protections for reporters if he were president and make it easier for him to sue them.

“I love free press. I think it’s great,” he said Saturday on Fox News Channel, before quickly adding, “We ought to open up the libel laws, and I’m going to do that.”

The changes envisioned by the celebrity businessman turned Republican front-runner would mean that “when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money,” he said at a rally Friday in Fort Worth, Texas.

Trump added that, should he win the election, news organizations that have criticized him will “have problems.” He specifically cited The New York Times and The Washington Post.

Trump last month threatened to sue the Post after the newspaper wrote an article about the bankruptcy of his Atlantic City casino. On Twitter, Trump has routinely criticized reporters who cover him and their news organizations, including The Associated Press.

“The press has to be fair,” he said in the broadcast interview.

First Amendment advocates condemned Trump’s suggestions.

“His statement shows why we need libel protections,” said

Gregg Leslie, legal defense director for the Washingtonbased Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.

“Trump gets offended, he gets upset and he wants to sue to retaliate. That’s not a good reason to sue someone.”

Libel law in the United States generally makes it difficult for public figures to sue reporters or other people who criticize them.

To win such a case, the plaintiff must demonstrate that factually incorrect statements were made with actual malice or a reckless disregard for the truth.

Trump said he would like to lower that standard. “We’re going to have people sue you like you never got sued before,” he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton won the support of an overwhelming majority of black voters, large majorities of men and women, and even a majority of voters under 45 on her way to a claiming a commanding victory in South Carolina’s Democratic primary Saturday.

There were few bright spots for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, according to the exit poll conducted for The Associated Press and television networks

by Edison Research.

What the exit poll found: BLACK VOTERS OVERWHELMINGLY FOR CLINTON About 6 in 10 voters in South Carolina’s Democratic

primary were black, by far the largest proportion of AfricanAmericans in any of the contests so far. And nearly 9 in 10 black voters supported Clinton.

White voters were more closely divided between Clinton and Sanders.

Black primary voters were more likely to say they trust Clinton over Sanders to handle race relations, with more than 4 in 10 saying they only trust her and less than 1 in 10 saying they only trust him. Just over 4 in 10 said they trust both.

Among all primary voters Saturday — black and white — 8 in 10 said the issue of race relations was important to their vote. Among black primary voters, a third said it was the

YOUNGER WOMEN FLIP TO CLINTON Six in 10 South Carolina primary voters were women, and 8 in 10 of them said they voted for Clinton. She was also supported by about 7 in 10 men.

Six in 10 white women supported Clinton, while a majority of white men said they voted for Sanders.

Clinton ate into Sanders’ advantage among young voters. Although he was supported by a slim majority of primary voters under 30, she was supported by about three-quarters of those between the ages of 30 and 44, as well as 8 in 10 of those 45 and older.

Nominations for Raiders Who Rock open

By HALEY DAVIS Staff Writer

Nominations for Raiders Who Rock 2016 are now open for applications until at 11:59 p.m. on March 15.

The purpose of the Raiders Who Rock program is to recognize students, faculty, staff or student organizations, according to the Transition and Engagement website, who exemplify the eight Texas Tech ethical principles through their actions and services within the Lubbock and Tech communities.

Rachel Jackson, assistant director of Transitions and Engagement, said the Raiders Who Rock Program recognizes people who normally do good things without getting noticed.

“I think it’s important for the entire TTU community because it’s a way for us to recognize the people

on campus who are doing great things and don’t get recognition otherwise,” she said.

Originally the Raiders Who Rock program was created in partnership with the Foundation for a Better Life, Jackson said, and it has evolved to be about the Tech ethical principles for the last three years.

According to the Transition and Engagement website, the award categories include mutual respect, cooperation and communication, creativity and innovation, community service and leadership, pursuit of excellence, public accountability, diversity and academic integrity.

“At Texas Tech, these principles are not simply what we believe in,” Jackson said, “but what we live.”

Last year’s outstanding

nominee in the mutual respect category was Hoz Fierro, a senior public relations major and a Tech Transfer Ambassador.

“It was a truly incredible feeling being nominated,” Fierro said. “I never put much thought into the actions that got me nominated, I simply love what I do and try to always do my best.”

All Raiders Who Rock nominees and their nominators will be honored at the Raiders Who Rock Banquet on April 5 in the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center, according to the Transition and Engagement website.

“My advice to this year’s nominees,” Fierro said, “would be to put your best foot forward and to enjoy every minute of it. Take the opportunity to mingle with people from different categories. There’s a ton

of interesting people all over campus packed into one room.”

There are usually between 70 and 80 nominations every year, Jackson said, and all nominees will be recognized as Raiders Who Rock at the banquet and receive a certificate.

The top nominees in each category will be awarded a plaque, recognition on the Transition and Engagement website and campus-wide appreciation for upholding these outstanding ethical principles, Jackson said.

“Through this program, I learned to always put your best foot forward,” Fierro said, “because you never know who’s watching. There’s always someone noticing even when you don’t get a thank you. We are constantly impacting the people around us.” @DailyToreador

Dolce & Gabbana headline day five in Milan MILAN (AP) — A plethora of ribbons and ruffles signaled an air of romance in Milan this fashion season, but not all the references were strictly aesthetic.

There also was a nostalgic notion of connecting with the past, either stylistically or by challenging expectations of how that is done.

Some highlights Sunday from previews for next fall and winter womenswear collections during the fifth day of Milan Fashion Week.

Over the Rainbow The Salvatore Ferragamo runway was alive with color, playfulness and ironic twists.

Creative director Massimiliano Giornetti drew inspiration from artists from the Dada and the Bauhaus art and design movements

for the explosion of patterns and colors.

“I like the way in which everything was very geometric, very rigorous, very constructed. They were playful,” Giornetti said backstage.

The collection developed from dresses with horizontal bands of color in tiers of ribbed and pleated knitwear, to tunics and trouser combinations with thick vertical color blocking. And it continued with a series of outerwear in black-andwhite checks and stripes.

Heartbeat pattern zigzags, oversized houndstooth and checkerboard patterns gave the looks a fantastical, almost Alice in Wonderland feel, from fuchsia, red, black and white chevron capes to a purpleand-red houndstooth double-breasted coat.

The silhouette was slim and sophisticated with playful touches like big buttons on cropped bodices, contrasting zigzag ribbons and rows of vertical zippers that, when closed, created a shiny pinstriped pattern, but when left open, revealed another layer of garment below.

“Especially in this moment, I think it is so important to send to the consumer a very positive message,” Giornetti said. “But also to inspire the consumer, to inspire with the colors, with the combinations of different materials.”

For this reason, Ferragamo CEO Michele Norsa precluded any move by the brand toward bringing the collection straight to stores, aside from a limited number of selected items as it

has in the past.

Dreams Do Come True Dolce&Gabbana have turned fairytale conventions on their head: their woman is both a princess and prince.

For a world where dreams do come true, designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana created an updated version of Cinderella’s blue dress, this one a simple cut covered with silvery and crystal beads, with princess short sleeves but without the scalloped layers of skirts from storybook illustrations.

It wouldn’t be giving the end away to say the slippers were transparent.

The model was also accompanied by her wishful washerwoman self, wearing a short silken dress with her sewing mice.

SUBMITTING A NOMINATION • • • •

Nominations are open until 11:59 p.m. on March 15 on the Transition and Engagement website.

Nominations must be submitted by a student, faculty member, staff member or student organization adviser.

CHORALE

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Peffley said the board of directors for the Lubbock Chorale has been planning this event since November.

This is the biggest fundraiser for the chorale, and most of the money it raises goes to scholarship recipients, she said. The funding is possible through both ticket sales and a silent auction with items donated from local businesses.

However, the theme of the gala and the other performances it puts on are all through the discretion of its director, John Hollins. Usually the group’s performances follow the same theme, however this year there was more of an eclectic vibe. This year also happened to be the 40-year anniversary of the group, she said, which gave way to the gala’s theme of 40s cabaret. “(Hollins) looks at our season and begins to look at our repertoire depending on what he’s seeing,” Peffley said.

The Gala Hollins expanded the opportunities for solos all around to allow not only scholarship students involved with the chorale to solo, but community members as well. When he was trying to find a way to showcase all the group had to offer, Hollins said he stumbled upon a talent show type of program and thought even deeper, and ultimately went with a 1940s cabaret theme.

To start the show, community chorale member Dr. Marion O. Williams, contralto, sang Billie Holiday’s “God Bless the Child.” All but one soloist, Jordan Siebrecht, were either community members or registered students.

Siebrecht was the only soloist scholarship student.

“It’s simply numeric, but it works out,” he said. “Because from the 40s they kind of sit in the middle of a golden era for music — the big band era, the jazz tunes, the crooner. I mean you have some of the greatest American songwriters in our history.”

Hollins said he wanted to make sure the entire program consisted of music prominently performed in the ‘40s.

For the theme, the entirety of the gala committee had to be on board, but once the theme

is agreed upon it is Hollins’ job to put together the script for the evening, he said.

Composers like Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, George and Ira Gershwin and other prominent names were all in his mind for the evening.

Hollins said he turned to an Oxford University Press collection of choral arrangements called “In the Mood,” where he found the songs “I Got Rhythm,” “Over the Rainbow” and many other songs performed during the evening.

The well-decorated ballroom had pictures of most of the composers from the night’s selections hanging up on the wall.

“I try to do five or six pieces for the gala. The audience will have been here for quite some time, almost two hours, they come at 6:30,” he said. “So we want a short, lively, entertaining program.”

Aside from the gala, the chorale usually hosts two other events per school semester, Peffley said. Most of the time the theme stays constant for all the events throughout the year, but Hollins and members of the board saw the opportunity for there to be a difference in presentation this year.

Last semester the chorale put on two performances—in October it did Verdi’s “Requiem” and for a Christmas performance it did Handel’s “Messiah.”

The gala is easy listening, Peffley said, which engages the community more because people can relate to the music a bit better and there is more of a fun element.

“It’s my favorite,” she said. “It’s not quite a pop concert, but it’s my favorite.”

For Saturday’s gala, Siebrecht, a master of musicology candidate and baritonebass singer from Amarillo, performed a solo from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma,” and before this he also performed solos in the chorale’s performance of Handel’s “Messiah.”

Aside from the solo opportunities in the past, Siebrecht said there will be more opportunities for scholarship students to showcase their talents in the upcoming Lubbock Symphony Orchestra collaboration entitled “Great Choruses.”

The Lubbock Chorale performed at the 40s Cabaret banquet and performance on Saturday in the Legacy Event Center. said Hollins tries as much as possible to make solo opportunities for all music students who are involved in the chorale.

“It’s very respectful of him because he knows that we’re trying to build resumes and CV’s at the same time,” Lucero said.

The gala is important because it is the main fundraiser for the chorale, and scholarship recipients rely on this money to continue to fund the scholarships, Lucero said. They rely heavily on the patrons who buy tickets to the gala and bid on the silent auction items.

“The gala is always our lighter music, in terms of it’s more relatable to a wider variety,” Lucero said. “The Verdi ‘Requiem’ and the ‘Messiah,’ if you didn’t grow up in, say, a classical house or go to a typical classical church service with hymn singing and stuff, you may not be accustomed to go to it.”

The purpose of the gala is to reach out to everyone who may have an interest in jazz, Broadway or show tunes, he said.

It is through the chorale that the community can make connections with students, Barbara Lamont, a musical arts doctoral candidate and alto singer from Oberlin, Ohio, said. It is through the gala that people who contribute to the chorale get to see the scholarship singers they help fund.

“I just think it’s a really

important event for us to actually see our appreciation of them,” she said.

The Preparation Peffley, who has been involved in the chorale since 1991, said being part of the group is different than being in a church choir, mostly because of the effort that is involved in getting ready for performances. Everyone involved knows and loves good music, and much energetic vigor goes into performing to the best of their abilities, even from the eldest of members.

There is an audition process to be part of the chorale, she said, and this increases and keeps the integrity of the group.

The audition process for all of the members has been a recent addition to the selection process, Peffley said. This has made a major difference in the sound produced from the group in recent years.

“Our performance level has increased,” she said, “and so we are performing at a higher level than I recall in the ‘90s.”

Because of this, all members have progressed into better vocalists. Those who join come from various backgrounds, she said, but they all have the same goal: to produce a great product.

All this excellence has a great deal to do with the director, Peffley said, and while she means no disrespect to past directors, it is in her opinion that the work put in by Hollins has made the work of the

chorale feel nearly therapeutic and relaxing at times.

To Hollins, vocal health is one of the most important things that has to be addressed when directing the chorale, he said. Through warm ups and teaching, he constantly thinks about addressing healthy breathing and healthy phonation.

He also keeps a focus on how the group, as a whole, starts and ends some sounds.

The meaning behind it is to preserve the longevity of the vocal instrument, he said. Posture and balance also play a pivotal role in producing a good sound.

The chief subject to address, however, when directing a choral group, is making sure all of the participants are listening, he said. Oftentimes he uses the phrase, “sing like a soloist but listen as a choir,” which adds to the balance and blend needed to turn out a great sound.

“I will say then, when the rubber hits the road, that choral singers need to find each other in terms of what is the vowel sound I’m making,” he said. “Are we singing the same vowel sounds?”

It was often during practice that Hollins would stop the chorale to address uneven vowel sounds that had the potential to throw off the rhythm of the music.

The concept is known to the group as a beautiful vowel, he said, which adds to vowel resonance and a matching sound all around.

To preserve their voices for performances, singers have to mark when to sing falsetto, or soft, to keep their instru-

ments healthy, Siebrecht said.

As singers they have to take every precaution to keep both a healthy mind and body, especially at the height of cold and flu season, Lucero said.

“We both teach students, we both encourage all of our students to not come to their voice lessons if they’re sick,” Lucero said. “We try everything as much as possible and pretty much it’s just getting enough rest, getting enough sleep.”

However, in the music community, most of them tend to be social and loquacious, so when one person shows up sick, all of them can catch the same thing, Siebrecht said.

As graduate students and instructors they also have many late nights, and they always have to be mindful of how they carry out their lifestyles, Lucero said. Because they bring their instruments wherever they go, if something were to happen to their voices, changes to programs would have to be made.

“If something were to happen to (Siebrecht), he’s doing ‘The Marriage of Figaro’ this semester, he’s Figaro,” Lucero said. “If something were to happen to him, they would have to have him act and have somebody sing off stage, just to get by. It happens a lot in our business, that’s why you have understudies.”

With the chorale it is a bit different because they have the numbers to afford one or two people getting sick and not performing, he said. @MichaelCantuDT

Tech succeeds at Indoor Championships SMU defeats Tulane The Texas Tech track and field team put on a strong showing at the 2016 Big 12 Indoor Championship, with both the men’s and the women’s teams finishing in fourth place.

A c c o r d i n g t o a Te c h Athletics news release, the men’s team got 97.5 points while the women’s team got 75 points.

On the first day of the championships, the Red Raiders swept the top three spots in the pentathlon. According to the release, no other team in Big 12 history has done this.

The Mustangs, who beat Tulane 74-53 on Sunday, will see their season end early because of sanctions that bar the team from playing in any postseason competition including the conference tournament.

Ben Moore scored 16 points and Sterling Brown added 15 as SMU (24-4, 12-4) moved back into a first-place tie in the American with Temple.

This is the fourth SMU team to win 24 regularseason games.

Last year’s team was 27-7 and went to the NCAA Tournament.

Coach Larry Brown only refers to the postseason ban indirectly in phrases such as “what’s going on” or “that other stuff.”

“I think it’s affected us for the last month,” said Brown, who sat out the season’s first nine games as part of the NCAA ruling. “I don’t think about that other stuff — stupid people making a stupid decision, in my mind. The reality is what these kids have accomplished. They did it with obstacles.”

“We think about it, but we just try and look at the next game,” freshman Jarrey Foster said.

Red Raiders fall to No. 5 Wake Forest 4-0

By BRANDON SOLIZ Staff Writer

On Friday, the No. 6 Texas Tech men’s tennis team began a tough road trip to North Carolina for a pair of games, beginning with a matchup against No. 25 North Carolina State.

According to a Tech Athletics news release, the Red Raiders handled NC State with ease after a 4-1 victory at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center.

Tech improved to 15-1 on the season and 9-1 against ranked opponents, according to the release.

Tech began doubles play with a win by the No. 2 ranked duo of seniors Hugo Dojas and Felipe Soares.

In singles play, Tech captured victories on courts four, five and six.

Freshman Bjorn Thomson won a tough matchup on court five defeating Igor Savelijic 6-1, 1-6 and 6-2.

Tech finished the matchup with a victory by sophomore Connor Curry.

However, on Saturday, the Red Raiders five-match win streak was put to an end in their matchup against No. 5 Wake Forest.

Wake Forest pulled off a clean sweep against Tech, defeating the Red Raiders 4-0.

“This wasn’t our best day in terms of play, competing and energy level,” Tech coach Brett Masi said in the release. “When you play a team like Wake Forest, you can’t expect to be able to fight back from a bad start.

Basically, we didn’t show up to start the match.”

Wake Forest took the doubles

point by winning on court two and then clinched the point with an upset over Dojas and Soares.

In singles, the Demon Deacons increased their lead to 2-0 with a win on court five.

Wake Forest then captured the victory by defeating both Dojas and Soares on their respective courts.

Both of Tech’s losses on the season have come against Top 5 ACC Conference opponents, first against No. 1 North Carolina and now against No. 5 Wake Forest, according to the release.

Next up for the Red Raiders is a trip to San Diego to participate in the San Diego Invitational hosted by the University of San Diego, according to the release. Tech will play Indiana on Monday, March 14 at 2 p.m. @BSoliz_DT

Loving’s 25 points help Ohio State stun No. 8 Iowa on Sunday in Columbus COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Marc Loving scored 25 points, including both ends of a 1-and-

1 with less than 2 seconds to go, and Ohio State rallied from a late deficit to stun No. 8 Iowa

68-64 on Sunday.

Keita Bates-Diop added 19 points while Kam Williams

added 11 for the Buckeyes, who ended the game on a 12-2 run.

After Bates-Diop preserved

a two-point lead for Ohio State (19-11, 11-6 Big Ten) by blocking Mike Gesell’s layup with

under 5 seconds to go, Loving made the free throws to ice the game.
