No. 10 Red Raiders defeat New Mexico Lobos, 7-2

By MICHAEL CANTU News Editor

Some of the offices of higher-up officials will be more than likely empty today because they will be at the Capitol in Austin advocating for funds for the Texas Tech System.

Today is Tech System Day at the Capitol, and officials from all entities within the Tech System will be in Austin on a day dedicated to Tech. The system day is a biennial event hosted at the beginning of every Texas Legislative session on March 1, Robert L. Duncan, Tech system chancellor, said, during a Board of Regents meeting on Friday.

“As every session, you’ll recall,

we have a great group of alumni that go down to Austin, and we have Texas Tech day,” Duncan said.

SysteM FUNDING REQUEST 2018: OFFICE OPERATIONS / $1,368,000 ADDITIONAL FUNDING / $632,000 2019: OFFICE OPERATIONS / $1,368,000 ADDITIONAL FUNDING / $632,000 The purpose of Tech day is to present representatives of all the districts of Texas with examples of how the universities within the system have contributed to research and economic

initiatives in Texas, Duncan said.

Tech day is also hosted by the Tech Alumni Association, and it is through that entity that faculty, staff and alumni from various parts of the country are asked to gather together, Jim Douglass, vice president of the alumni association, said.

“Our job is to try and recruit and encourage as many alumni as we can, from all over the state, to come into Austin for that one day when we’re going to be red and black, and loud and proud,” Douglass said.

“And more or less just advocating in general for adequate funding for higher education.”

Mentor Tech provides opportunities for protégés, mentors in program

By DAVID GAY L a Vida Editor

For most students, coming to a four-year university can be an overwhelming experience.

There are many aspects of college life students must get used to, including meeting new people, developing healthy study habits and eventually networking for a career after graduation.

Mentor Tech helps Texas Tech students make these adjustments through different mentoring programs with a multitude of faculty, staff and graduate students around Tech’s campus. These mentors help students make adjustments to the university.

“Mentor Tech basically stands between the entrance and the exit of the university,” Cory Powell, director of Mentor Tech, said. “We want (the mentors) to make it easier for these students to make that adjustment and make it difficult for students to fail. That’s their academic, social and cultural adjustments (to the university).”

Powell said there have been more than 3,200 students who participated through the Mentor Tech program in the last 15 years.

On average, Mentor Tech graduates about 100 students a year.

There are 1,100 people involved in Mentor Tech currently, combining

mentors and protégés.

According to the organization’s website, students who participate as protégés must be students at Tech or the Health Sciences Center and must commit to participating in the program for a year.

Mentor Tech provides different workshops to help these students with the adjustments they have to make, Powell said. The workshops are geared toward academic as well as career development.

But, the main part of Mentor Tech is the relationships the mentors

and the students create during their time in the program, Powell said.

“Once they are in, we try and match them up with a faculty or staff member, or a graduate student (whom) they share interests with, whether it is academic or career aspirations or cultural things,” Powell said. “Students and the mentors get to tell us what they want in terms of match in terms of gender and of culture and other factors.”

Junior pitcher Jacob Patterson pitches during the Texas Tech vs. New Mexico baseball game at Dan Law Field on Tuesday. Tech defeated New Mexico, 7-2.

By BRANDON SOLIZ Staff Writer

The No. 10 Texas Tech Red Raider baseball team hosted the New Mexico Lobos for a one-game matchup on Tuesday at Dan Law Field in front of 3,242 attendees. Tech defeated New Mexico, 7-2.

Freshman right-handed pitcher John Henry Gonzales got the call on the mound for the Red Raiders, while junior left-handed pitcher Luis Gonzalez was dealing for the Lobos.

The Lobos bounced out in front of the Red Raiders with a two-run homer to left field behind the bat of junior third baseman Carl Stajduhar in the first inning.

After one out in the bottom of the first inning, Tech junior second baseman Michael Davis made it a one-run game with a shot to left field.

Luis Gonzalez had a rough outing in the bottom of the third inning as he recorded back-to-back hit-bypitches to put freshman center fielder Grant Little and Davis on base.

Senior first baseman Hunter Hargrove hit a blooper in left center field that brought home Little to tie the game at 2-2.

The following at-bat, junior left fielder hit what appeared to be a sacrifice fly ball, but after review, it was determined a balk by Luis Gonzalez, which brought home Davis and gave Tech the lead with no outs.

Freshman third baseman Josh Jung then grounded out, which advanced Gardener to second base after his hit and scored a run by Hargrove.

Luis Gonzalez continued to give up hits as freshman center fielder Connor Beck hit a single through the left side to bring in Gardener. Tech led the game, 5-2, when Gonzalez was replaced by sophomore lefthanded pitcher Austin Isenhart, who

recorded the third out of the inning.

Luis Gonzalez threw 2.2 innings and gave up five hits and an equal number of runs.

Two innings later, junior lefthanded pitcher Jacob Patterson entered the game for Tech in the top of the fifth inning.

John Henry Gonzales pitched through four innings and recorded two strikeouts and allowed two hits and two runs.

Patterson was replaced after a quiet two innings pitched with junior left-handed pitcher Parker Mushinski.

Patterson gave up three hits with no runs and struck out two batters.

Mushinski kept up with his teammates and held the Lobos scoreless during his outing but allowed them to load the bases in the top of the eighth with one out.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock then went to the bullpen once again, putting freshman right-handed pitcher John McMillon on the mound.

McMillon recorded a strikeout for the second out of the inning and then closed it with a ground ball.

“I’ve got all the confidence in the world, we really do, in (McMillon),” Tadlock said. “Really good to see him come in and command the fastball.”

DREAM Act affects enrollment of undocumented students

Members of the Lubbock community were invited to meet with members of U.S. Senator John Cornyn’s staff.

The meeting took place in Cornyn’s staff office in the Wells Fargo building at 1500 Broadway from 4:15 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Cornyn, who is the current Senate majority whip, was not present at the event.

“I’m a member of the group Indivisible Lubbock, which is made up of local community members who are politically active,” John Curtis, a graduate student in educational and instructional technology, and a Lubbock resident, said.

“Together, we arranged for this informal meeting between the senator’s staff and his constituents.”

come to our university because of the financial responsibilities,” Fowler said, “and it’s really a shame because you see the fear in their eyes.”

Schools want to consistently increase their enrollments, and with that increase should come an increase in diversity, Fowler said. The DREAM Act and DACA provide undocument-

ed students with the same opportunities as those born in the United States have for pursuing a college degree.

“These young adults are already essentially Americans or U.S. citizens just without the papers,” Fowler said.

“I see no reason why they shouldn’t be given the same privileges if they’ve lived here a majority of their life.” @DailyToreador

Crystal De Lira, a freshman biology major from San Antonio, is a first-generation college student. Her family relies on the DREAM Act to get her through the next three years of college. Especially with the election of Donald Trump. De Lira said she is fearful of what drastic changes he may make during his administration.

“It’s a big deal. I really don’t even know if I would have the opportunities I do right now. If it weren’t for chance to pay in-state tuition, there is no way myself or my family could pay for my education,” she said. “I’ve lived here since I was 4 years old, and literally, all I want to do is make my family proud.”

The event was designed so Cornyn could effectively field input on policy decisions by listening to the thoughts and concerns of community members, Curtis said. The Indivisible Movement began in December after an internet guide on combatting President Donald Trump’s agenda went viral among groups of protestors.

“It’s not the most ideal scenario,” Curtis said. “We would have loved to have met with Senator Cornyn himself, instead of his staffers.”

The consensus among members of Indivisible Lubbock is that Cornyn has done a poor job of meeting with his constituents in the past, Curtis said.

U.S. Representative Jodey Arrington did not attend a town hall event hosted by Lubbock Democrats in Texas Tech’s Student Union Build-

ing on Saturday, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador. The organizers decided to use a cardboard cutout of Arrington, instead, and proceed with the event.

Cornyn’s staff brought group members in to their office and let them individually discuss topics varying from immigration and health care to Russian espionage. The meetings were headed by Brent Oden, West Texas regional director of Cornyn’s staff.

“Overall, meeting with Senator Cornyn’s staffers felt productive and positive,” Curtis said. “(Cornyn’s staff) wrote down and listened to everything we had to say in regards to Trump and his agenda. So, hopefully he’ll use that information to make policy decisions in the future.”

Activists protesting

many of Trump’s key initiatives were met with blowback from political leaders after news of raucous town hall meetings broke around the country. In an interview with Fox News on Feb. 6, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the groups protesting the Trump administration could have been paid for and compared the activists with the tea party demonstrators from President Barack Obama’s first term.

In the interview, Spicer described the protests as a “Astroturf-type movement” in contrast to the “organic” grassroots groups created in the past.

“The meetings that took place today were cordial and respectful,” Don Parks, a Lubbock resident, said. “I think most congressional

the beginning of the legislative session, the funding is applied to the two years before the next session.

The requested amount of funding for the years 2018 and 2019 is more than $1.3 million, according to the Tech System appropriations request. This brings the total biennial amount to $2,736,000.

So, in terms of funding, it is important, Douglass said, to try and gain support from legislatures not from West Texas to get on board with funding to Tech.

“We want to also remind them about the fact that many of their constituents are either students of Texas Tech, or their

parents are students, or they are alumni of the university who live and vote in their district,” Douglass said. “Once you bring that out to them and how many, we’ll let each one of them know how many Red Raiders of the family live in their district.”

But because the Texas Legislature has such a tight budget in terms of higher education, it is going to be a struggle to weigh out the needs against the wants, Douglass said.

However, Tech has the upper hand during this session because of Duncan, Kent Hance, chancellor emeritus for Tech, said.

Duncan is fresh out of the legislature and has been with the Tech System for only around three years, Hance said.

“So, he knows all of those people. So, it’s a great asset to have someone who has served in the legislature,” Hance said.

“And I don’t think that we can be in any better shape with having him hit up the list of people that are going to be there.”

Most of the burden for this day rests on the chancellor, Hance said. But Duncan has also been working beforehand, speaking in front of committees with the presidents of the various Tech entities.

representatives will find that these individuals are here out of legitimate concern and not out of spite for the president.”

Parks said he came to the event to discuss immigration with the staffers. He advocated for the amnesty of illegal aliens and strongly opposed the construction of a proposed border wall along the Mexican border.

“After it was all said and done, we thanked the Senator ’s staff for their time and effort,” Parks said.

“It shows commitment on (Cornyn’s) part to dedicate time to his constituents, which is more than many other senators are doing at this point.”

T h e D a i l y To r e a d o r reached out for comments from Cornyn’s office, but the request was not returned by press time at 10 p.m. Tuesday. @ReeceNationsDT

Duncan will also testify before the House Appropriations Committee, and the testimony could range from 30 minutes to two hours, Hance said.

“And he’ll tell them what our priorities are, this is what we need, and this is what we need help with,” Hance said.

After this day, there will also be a meeting with officials from the Higher Education Coordinating Board and parts of the Texas Legislature to figure out the appropriate way of funding higher education, Hance said.

Commonly known as formula funding, the entities will give out a formulated amount of funds per each student within each higher education entity.

This also takes into account additional money for research, and with Tech being a university that prioritizes research, Hance said the additional funds will come in handy for the future.

“Of course, it’s kind of a wish list in that you never get the full formula funding, but at the same time, it tells what we really need,” Hance said.

“And you may fall short of it, but it gives a good guideline for the senators and representatives.” @MichaelCantuDT

Media’s use of mug shots creates bias A

s the old saying goes, a picture is worth 1,000 words.

It is human nature to see an image — whether it’s in an advertisement or in a news article — and make far-reaching assumptions.

Advertisers bank on the fact that when we see an image of an attractive person, surrounded by people dancing and laughing, drinking out of a Coca-Cola bottle, we will build our own story around the image. We will automatically assume that all Coca-Cola drinkers are happy, bubbly and surrounded by fun people.

All this is done with the hope that we will convince ourselves we need to “taste the feeling” of Coca-Cola to enjoy life as those actors appear to be.

This tendency has implications far beyond the realm of marketing. With ads, we at least know the company’s motivation, and we can take into consideration the fact it is actively trying to persuade us.

But what about images displayed by news media?

The pictures are just as powerful over our psyches,

Rudy Moisiuc is a thirdyear law student from Spring.

and yet, the motivation behind them is ambiguous.

News stories become captivating and tend to grab our attention when they are negative. The more tragic they are, the more likely they will gain an audience.

Think about the last news story that ran across your computer screen or on your Facebook newsfeed.

It was probably about a deadly shooting, a robbery, or some other local horrific accident that left someone dead.

Negative stories sell.

Because of our need to “stay informed” and protect ourselves from the dangerous world we live in, negative stories can dominate the news media.

Now, think about the specific details of those news stories; who do they portray?

Do news outlets accurately portray the truth, or are they too trapped in a world where the need to be right is trumped by the need to be first?

Living in a world where

being first to report is valued above all else can lead to carelessness and laziness.

It can lead to people — who are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution a presumption of innocence — being found guilty before they ever step foot in a courtroom.

Whether it is carelessness or overt racism, black people tend to be portrayed more negatively in the media than white people who have been charged with the exact same crime.

Even worse, black people are negatively portrayed even when they are the victims of a crime. The exact opposite happens for white people.

A white person is touted throughout the media in a suit and tie as a “suspect.”

After being arrested and charged with a crime, white people get the privilege and dignity of being depicted the same way they would be in a yearbook picture.

Black people, on the other hand, are not afforded such luxuries.

In fact, more likely than not, their mug shots after being arrested as “suspects” are the first visuals we

see. Mug shots are inherently damaging; they depict people at their worst.

They depict people who have just had their freedom ripped away. Whether they are innocent or not, everyone must go through this photographing process until they can be bailed out or they go to trial.

Even worse, black people are negatively portrayed even when they are the victims of a crime. The exact opposite happens for white people.

No one is allowed to smile in a mug shot either, so it automatically makes the person appear upset and guilty.

Human instinct kicks in, and we start writing that person’s story before he or she even gets a chance to tell us the story.

We automatically create either a positive or negative rhetoric and let our imaginations run wild.

Garrett Griffin wrote

a column about this phenomenon in the Weekend Collective. Griffin warned, “images tell stories, and we should perhaps be more careful about the stories we tell.”

The column went on to give examples of tangible instances where white people were shown in a suit and tie, or in a police uniform, while their black counterparts only had their mug shots shown.

The Iowa Gazette featured back-to-back news stories of burglary arrests in 2015, one with mug shots of four black suspects, the other of yearbook photos of white suspects.

That same year, NBC News tweeted a picture of Ray Tensing, a white police officer, and Samuel DuBose, the black man he was found guilty of murdering.

The problem is Tensing, the murderer, was shown in his police uniform in front of a U.S. flag, while DuBose, the victim, had his mug shot from an unrelated arrest used.

The difference between clean-cut, dressed-up white people and casually dressed black mug shots is

quite prejudicial.

Unless you are actively cognizant of this issue, you can easily fall into the trap of presuming you know who is guilty or innocent without understanding the truth behind the pictures.

If we can learn anything from these examples, it is to be more careful with the information the media feeds us.

Remember that cops can arrest anyone for any reason. Be aware of the biases and assumptions that will arise when we see images of arrested suspects.

These people are innocent until the government can prove them guilty.

Think about the way the “suspect” is being portrayed.

Think about his race and how that might have played a role in how we see him.

Think about how you would want people to react if it were your mug shot.

Do not be fooled by the media. A person with a mug shot is not automatically guilty.

It is true that images tell stories, but we control the power those stories have. opinions@dailytoreador.com

Extreme religious practices alienates believers

C

hildren raised in overly sheltered religious households often end up straying from the church and leaving religion behind.

This is not always the case; some of the kids stay the course, going on to live puritanical lifestyles.

But, there doesn’t seem to be a middle ground.

Raising kids in such extremity often leads them to associate religion with just that: extremity.

We all know the stereotype of the over-sheltered, private-school child who goes off to college and goes completely bananas.

In this child’s mind, his only other option is being the one wearing a purity ring, forcing others to hold hands to pray over meals in public restaurants.

I was, more or less, one of the private-school kids who went off the deep end and left the church completely.

With regards to religion, the private school I attended from kindergarten through 12th grade

Austin Martin is a graduate student studying kinesiology from Dallas.

was about as extreme as they come.

For example, most kids get their dose of religion at church on Sundays, while being exposed to the secular philosophies of the world during the school week.

The extremity of my school made my experience quite the opposite.

In the halls of my school, it was extraordinarily uncommon to hear someone “take the Lord’s name in vain,” or mutter any type of naughty word. At church, however, I would sometimes hear phrases like “Oh my God” or “This sucks.”

As I continued to age, this paradox continued.

When at church, I might have come across a friend during some youth group activity with an iPod con-

taining explicit music.

This never happened at my school. Around the time of the iPod revolution, every set of parents with children in my class — my parents included — scrupulously oversaw what kind of music went on their child’s device.

While having a friend over in seventh grade, the parent of said child called my mother to make sure that we were not going to be listening to any explicit music.

She further warned my mom that monitoring the device is not enough, given that you can go to the iTunes store and listen to a 10-second snippet of explicit songs.

She demanded that we not be able to use the computer unsupervised for this reason alone. Happenings like this were not uncommon at all.

Amidst the pro-abstinence, anti-evolution education, my school actually did try and teach us how to think for ourselves once ninth grade rolled around.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Unlike most curriculums, we were taught subjects like theology, church history and philosophy.

While some of these classes did teach me to think a little bit abstractly, they did not change the prevailing consensus throughout the school halls.

Human nature is not to think for oneself but to parrot the beliefs of one’s parents, which is for the most part what happened at my school. Fundamentalism reigned supreme.

Eventually I wanted out. Upon entering college, I wanted nothing to do with the church or even Christianity in general.

For a while, that was how I felt.

It was not until recently that I came to realize that there are all kinds of people who lead completely normal lives and call themselves Christians.

Religion is not merely a band of fun-hating fundamentalists. It does not have to be so extreme.

Furthermore, my previ-

ous teachings of philosophy and church history have helped me shape my own religious belief system.

Amidst the proabstinence, antievolution education, my school actually did try and teach us how to think for ourselves once ninth grade rolled around.

Knowing who wrote what books in the Bible as opposed to saying it was all written by God himself has helped me the most with this.

All those New Testament books that end in “ians” — like Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, etc. — were written by a man named Paul, who never even knew Jesus.

Now, I am a pretty big fan of the words written in red. For those who do not

know, Bibles usually print the words Jesus himself supposedly said in red ink.

C h r i s t i a n i t y, a s t h e name denotes, is primarily about Christ. So, you might as well accept what he said as opposed to what the other people said.

As a child, my parents would take me to feed the homeless, but I never understood the significance of the action.

I could have told you why certain people go to hell or why premarital sex is evil, but the true meaning of Christianity did not resonate with me.

Now, through my journey of indoctrination, denial and return, I have come to think that you can believe what you want to believe and that not all Christians believe the extreme ideas I was raised with.

I see that, to Jesus, actions such as helping others are much more important than extreme, dogmatic belief systems. opinions@dailytoreador.com

Trump takes on entrenched George W. Bush promotes new practice of Washington leaks book, reflects on painting, press NEW YORK (AP) — When White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer wanted to crack down on leaks last week, he collected his aides’ cell phones to check for communication with reporters. The crackdown quickly leaked.

Spicer ’s losing round in Washington’s perpetual game of information whacka-mole was hardly a surprise. In trying to plug leaks from anonymous sources, President Donald Trump and his aides are going after one of the most entrenched practices in Washington politics and journalism, an

exercise that has exposed corruption, fueled scandals and spread gossip for decades.

But the practice has created several headaches for the new president, leading Trump, just weeks into his presidency, to publicly vow to try to punish “low-life leakers” in his own administration.

“Let their name be put out there,’ Trump said before the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, accusing reporters of making up anonymous sources and stories. He declared reporters shouldn’t

be allowed to use sources “unless they use somebody’s name.” “’A source says that Donald Trump is a horrible, horrible human being.’ Let ‘em say it to my face.”

But Trump’s administration has not been practicing what the boss preached.

Despite the president’s anger about unnamed sources, White House budget officials insisted on anonymity Monday as they outlined details of Trump’s spending plans to reporters on a conference call. The budget officials ignored requests to put the briefing on the record.

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President George W. Bush says he didn’t intend to criticize President Donald Trump when he said recently that a free press is essential to democracy Speaking by telephone Tuesday with The Associated Press, Bush said he was simply responding to a reporter’s question about the role of journalism. Trump has referred to the press as the “enemy of the people,” but Bush said that it’s important to hold those in power “to account,” adding that power can be “very corrupting” and that it was dangerous to “fall

in love” with power or fame or money.

He called his own relationship with the media “symbiotic,” with the media needing a story and the president needing to get his message out.

“I understood people were trying to do their job,” he said. “There were moments when I (was) irritated and wanted to tell so-and-so that they missed a story. But I don’t look back and say, ‘This was a terrible part of my presidency.’”

Bush, 70, is promoting his new book, “Portraits of Courage,” a volume of his

paintings of military veterans. The book, officially published Tuesday and No. 1 on Amazon.com, arrives at a time when Bush — highly unpopular when he left office in 2009 — is enjoying favorable attention from both Democrats and Republicans for views on the media, immigration and Muslims that are far more moderate than those of Trump.

But the former president, who refrained from commenting on Democrat Barack Obama’s administration, said he intends to do the same with fellow Republican Trump.

Campus tours attract prospective students

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

For prospective students wondering if Texas Tech is the right school for them, Tech’s campus tour program can potentially provide an answer.

Forrest Stovall, the supervisor for Tech’s Visitors Center at West Hall, said the tour program is robust, with two daily tours Monday through Friday along with a tour on one or two Saturdays a month.

“They’ll go through the recreation center,” Stovall said, “they’ll go through the College of Media and Communication to see the different academic buildings on campus, the library, the Student Union Building, and our tour itself concludes at Wall/Gates Residence Hall.”

The tour guides are members of President’s Select, Stovall said, which is an organization composed of 60 to 70 students.

Stovall said the purpose of President’s Select is supporting the Office of the President through helping with hosted events, the Athletic Department through recruiting and

MENTOR

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Once students and mentors are matched together, each pair will communicate weekly and meet face-to-face at least twice a month, he said.

According to the Mentor Tech website, faculty, staff and graduate students who want to participate as mentors must serve for a full year and can serve as mentor for up to two protégés.

Powell said the staff of Mentor Tech look for certain qualities in mentors, and recruiting for mentors every year starts in April.

“We target specific groups and specific numbers of faculty members or specific individuals that we know we need from particular disciplines,” Powell said. “We want to make sure that those individuals know they have a voice and have an opportunity to inspire other students. We send letters and emails out to faculty, staff and graduate students encouraging them to participate.”

Through these workshops and mentoring programs, Mentor Tech aims to address all the needs that the students encounter in their time at Tech, Powell said.

“In 2002, we looked at the reasons why the students said they would leave the university,” Powell said. “Basically, (a few) reasons emerged: They did not feel academically supported. They did not feel that they could handle it financially. They didn’t like Lubbock, which we could not do

Casey Fleming, a junior human development and family studies major from San Antonio, leads a group of prospective Texas Tech students during a campus tour on Tuesday. Fleming is a member of President’s Select, an organization of student ambassadors who frequently give tours to prospective Tech students. giving tours to athletes, and the Undergraduate Admissions office through the daily tours and recruitment events such as Connect Tech.

Bailey Dowler, a tour guide and a junior public relations major from Los Angeles, said she became a tour guide in spring 2016

because of her passion for recruitment. Moreover, her inability to visit Tech until she went for orientation also served as an incentive.

“It’s about really making students feel welcome and kind of pushing them, or urging them, to go to Tech because I didn’t get to see it,” Dowler said. “So,

I know seeing the campus really helps.”

Dowler said she enjoys talking to potential students because interacting with current students positively influences potential students’ school choice.

anything about. But, really the goal was to get them adjusted to help them feel supported and do what they want to do on campus.”

When Mentor Tech was created in 2002, Tech was interested in increasing the retention of African-American and Hispanic students, Powell said. Mentor Tech was created to assist with that retention.

Powell said most of the students in the Mentor Tech program are first-generation college students. This mentoring program is important for these students because they do not have anyone to look up to in their families when it comes to higher education.

“These students do not have anyone in their immediate families who they can look to, who have traversed through the paths of higher education,” Powell said. “Having someone who is available to answer questions, who understands the disappointments and hardships that you encounter, who knows what it is like to be you and to help deal with that is helpful.”

Jeremy Cortez, college adviser for the Talkington School of Young Women Leaders and a former member of Mentor Tech, said when he was a student at Tech, Mentor Tech gave him the opportunity to meet other students in his situation.

“It was nice to see minority students at Texas Tech who came from a first-generation perspective just like myself and to be able to talk to them and understand that we were going through the same issues,”

Cortez said.

A native of Lubbock, Cortez said he got to meet people from different backgrounds going through the same situations as he.

“It was great to see and meet other Hispanic and African-American students who wanted to improve their education and graduate from a fouryear university,” Cortez said.

He said he would not be as successful as he is now without the assistance Mentor Tech provided him with. Cortez was given the academic skills and the leadership skills to succeed at Tech as well as in the outside world.

When Cortez was a part of Mentor Tech, he said he started the Mentor Tech Student Organization. This student organization is still an integral part of the Mentor Tech program today.

“Mentor Tech can only do so much because it is a department,” Cortez said. “There was a lot of student activities that we wanted to be student led. One of the big things is we wanted the (Student Government Association) to recognize Mentor Tech, so we could get some funding from them and provide opportunities for our students. The only way we could do that is start a student organization.”

Mentor Tech Student Organization is still a critical part of the Mentor Tech program today. Cortez said it is something he left behind from his time at Mentor Tech.

Powell said if had participated in a program like Mentor

Tech when he attended college, he would have graduated sooner than he did.

Mentor Tech gives students a place to be comfortable, Powell said.

“We all have bumped into the infamous ‘Tech Shuffle’ on campus, where you feel like you have been bumped around from this place to that place,” Powell said. “Having someone who makes that process easier, someone who can help you adjust and get you the resources that you need and feel supported. That helps to keep them.”

Mentor Tech is the largest collegiate mentoring program in the country, Powell said.

During its last search, the organization could not find a larger collegiate mentoring program.

“The program we do is really comprehensive in trying to get the students what they need,” Powell said. “We are always trying to look for something else. We just do what we think is the best and try and do what is right, and I think the accolades and the growth speaks for itself. For us to be able to be pioneers in terms of mentoring is very crucial.”

Having a mentoring program like this is important in today’s age, he said. This program speaks to the diversity in the country.

“For Texas Tech having a program like Mentor Tech and having a desire to reach out to students and making them feel welcome and be successful is our responsibility as an institution,” Powell said.

and parents to the tours are generally complimentary, Dowler said.

They tend to be amazed at the campus’s size and facilities, Dowler said.

“I’ve had multiple students on my tours yell ‘Guns Up’ or ‘Wreck ‘em’ or ‘Raider Power,’” Dowler said, “and that’s really cool because it shows the prospective students we are very spirited, we are one big family.”

Dowler said the point of the tour is representing Tech well and leaving a lasting impression on the visitors, regardless of whether or not they enroll.

The campus tour is one of the most important parts of the recruitment process, Stovall said, which is why the tour guides work hard to make prospective students feel special.

“It’s definitely worth it at the end of the day,” Stovall said, “whenever you see students on campus that either may not have been considering Texas Tech in the first place or may not be too excited to be here, but then afterwards they just fall in love with it.” @KirbyWarner_DT

studies major from San Antonio, said she agreed that interacting with a student guide is a major factor in deciding which school one goes to.

“I had a girl reach out to me, and she was like, ‘You were the reason that I made the decision,’” Fleming said, “and that made me feel so good because it made me feel like my job is done.”

If one person in the tour becomes excited at the prospect of attending Tech, then the tour guide’s goal is accomplished, Fleming said.

The admissions office often collaborates with other departments on campus to help with recruitment events, Stovall said, with one example being visitors attending information sessions at each college at Tech.

“They are able to have a general information session,” Stovall said, “but then also sometimes they’ll want a tour, meet with their professors, things of that nature.”

Other collaborations can include a prospective student shadowing a class or exploring available tutoring options, Stovall said.

Red Raiders host Longhorns for Senior Night

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Sports Editor

With the regular season winding down, the Texas Tech men’s basketball team has one last chance to protect home court on Senior Night as it hosts Texas at 8 p.m. today in the United Supermarkets Arena.

The five seniors honored will be guard Devon Thomas, and forwards Anthony Livingston, Aaron Ross, Matthew Temple and Thomas Brandsma.

Tech coach Chris Beard said the seniors have been a huge contribution to the team this season, and it starts with their unselfishness.

“It starts with the common trait of all five (seniors) is unselfishness,” Beard said. “Each of them is playing a different role than they have played in past college basketball. Each of them have been asked to do things this year on and off the floor as we start to build a program, year one. Through good times, through times of struggle, they've really maintained being the same type of people and leaders.”

The Red Raiders are 17-12 on the season with a home record of 15-3.

The basketball squad is coming off a loss to Oklahoma

BASEBALL

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Freshman right-handed pitcher Justin Slaten came in to pitch for the Lobos with two men on base for the Red Raiders and no outs in the bottom of the eighth.

Senior infielder Ryan Long hit and connected on a single to bring in two more runs for the Red Raiders.

New Mexico went to the bullpen once again with junior left-handed pitcher Brandon Langan.

The Red Raiders then

State, 80-63, on Saturday in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The Cowboys were dominant on the court with a 21-point lead in the game against Tech.

After being handed a loss to the Cowboys, the Red Raiders are on a three-game losing streak, according to Tech Athletics.

Beard said the Big 12 Conference is as tough as it has ever been, and the team needs to bounce back and get ready for Texas.

“That's life in the Big 12,” Beard said. “As difficult, as challenging, as brutal as it is from time to time, (that’s) what ends up happening when everybody’s good in the league like this year, every game’s an opportunity.”

In the loss, junior guard Keenan Evans led the Red Raiders in points with 18. He also collected three rebounds and three steals, according to Tech Athletics.

This season, Evans leads the Red Raiders in points per game with 15.6. He also leads the team in total points scored this season with 436, according to Tech Athletics.

“It starts with his talent,” Beard said. “He’s just a really talented guy that’s got a combination of athleticism and skill. He has a desire to

be great. He puts in a lot of time in behind the scenes.

He played for one of the best high school coaches in the state of Texas and for a hallof-fame coach his first two years in college. So, he just has a combination of what it takes to be special.”

The Longhorns are ninth in the Big 12 with a record of 4-12, according to Big 12 sports. The Red Raiders are eighth in the conference with a record of 5-10.

“I think (Texas) has really good players, and they have got a great coach,” Beard said. “He puts his players in a position to be successful.”

On Saturday, the Longhorns fell short to the No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks, 77-67, at home in Austin, according to Texas Athletics.

Freshman forward Jarrett Allen led Texas in points with a double-double in the game against Kansas, according to Texas Athletics. He registered 20 points, 11 rebounds and one block in the loss.

Following Allen in points was freshman guard Andrew Jones, who registered 18 points, three rebounds, one assist and one block, according to Texas Athletics.

“Their returning players have gotten better. Their

went on to close out the game and snatch a 7-2 victory over the Lobos.

Tadlock said McMillon’s and Mushinski’s pitching was good to see in the closing moments of the game.

He also said he was impressed with Long’s performance at the plate, especially with him pinch hitting against the Lobos.

“It’s really tough not to play him,” Tadlock said.

“Really having him over there as a pinch hitter is also a pretty good weapon.”

Wi t h t h e l o n e g a m e of the week done, Davis said he is looking forward

to the first game of this weekend’s series against Texas A&M. Davis said the team takes one game at a time.

“I got to watch from the stands a lot, and I know it’s a pretty big rivalry, but it’s kind of dwindled,” Davis said. “Ready for A&M, I haven’t really thought more past it.”

freshman players have gotten better,” Beard said. “I think they are a very scary team to play at this time of the year.”

Today’s game will be the second meeting of the season between the Red Raiders and the Longhorns, according to Tech Athletics. On Feb. 1, Tech fell to Texas, 62-58, in the USA. Livingston said Tech has taken on a different approach going into today’s contest to prevent the loss the team suffered earlier in the season to the Longhorns.

“One of the things we are going to do is front and try to prevent the ball from going down,” Livingston said. ”We know they are going to go to their post men the whole game. So, we are going to try and prevent a couple of touches throughout the game to try and subtract some of the points they had in the first game.”

As the game against Texas is already down to the wire, it is even more critical to capitalize on the court as this will be the final home game for the five seniors.

Not only have the seniors been capitalizing on the court, Beard said, but they are also great people off the court.

“To me, they are guys who are going to be successful af-

Texas Tech senior guard Devon Thomas handles the ball as he looks down the court for an open man in the game against Iowa State on Feb. 20 in the United Supermarkets Arena. The Red Raiders fell short to the Cyclones in the home contest, 82-80. Thomas will be one of five seniors to be honored today for Senior Night. ter basketball,” Beard said.

“Couple of them will have chance to play for money, but I have no doubt that when you look these guys up, all five are going to be successful people. They’re going to be good fathers, they’re going to be good husbands, and a lot of it comes from them being unselfish people.”

With a record of 5-10, the Red Raiders still have a chance to capitalize in

the game against Texas, Temple said.

“That's the nature of the Big 12,” Temple said.

“It’s such a competitive league that every night, you have an opportunity to prove yourself and make a statement. We aren’t down in the dumps. We are looking forward to this game against Texas because it is a big opportunity.” @ABoutwellDT

TRACK AND FIELD

Schunk receives Dr. Gerald Lage Award The Big 12 Conference announced Tuesday that junior Hattie Schunk, from both the Texas Tech track and field team and the cross country team, was named a recipient of the Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award.

Schunk is a chemical engineering major and was named the Academic All-Big 12 First Team with a 4.0 GPA three times. Schunk also re-

ceived the 2016 Goldwater Scholarship, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Schunk is one of 58 Big 12 athletes to be recognized for the award, which is the highest academic honor in the conference.

The recipients will receive public recognition at the Phillips 66 Big 12 Men’s Basketball Championship, which is from March 8-11 in the Sprint Center in Kansas City, according to the release.

In order to receive the award, the athletes must have lettered at least once in their career while having residence at their institution for at least one academic year, according to the release. The recipient can only be recognized once and should have 100 hours of earned credit with a GPA of 3.80 or higher when nominated, according to the release. @JackDensmore_DT

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jackson scores 22, No. 17 Duke beats No. 15 FSU DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — One of Duke's shortest players kept finding ways to score on No. 15 Florida State's long, tall defenders.

Freshman guard Frank Jackson — all 6-foot-3 of him — drove the lane, shot 3-pointers over the Seminoles' outstretched fingertips and gave the 17th-ranked Blue Devils all the cushion they needed.

Jackson scored a season-best 22 points and Duke beat Florida State 75-70 on Tuesday night.

"Change of pace, a lot of shot fakes, floaters," Jackson said. "They really were athletic, just a big team. I think the first time we played them, we kind of didn't know what to expect. This time around, we were able to study, we progressively got better as the season went along."

Jayson Tatum added 15 points for Duke, which avenged a 16-point loss last month in Tallahassee, held Florida State 14 points below its scoring average and snapped a two-game losing streak that cost the Blue

Devils a top-10 ranking but, according to Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski, does not qualify as a slump.

"We're playing our butts off. ... We're not slumping," Krzyzewski said. "Our guys are playing great. They're fighting like crazy. But sometimes, you don't make that one-possession play, and our league is so unforgiving if you don't make that play."

Dwayne Bacon scored 19 points and Xavier Rathan-Mayes had 15 for the Seminoles (23-7, 11-6), who had their two-game winning streak snapped.

Jackson then rebounded Jonathan Isaac's missed 3 and Duke went to work on the clock, with Tatum grabbing a

key rebound of his own miss to help the Blue Devils keep the ball away from the Seminoles until there were about 50 seconds remaining.

Jackson helped Duke build a 19-point lead by scoring 13 points in the first 4 1/2 minutes of the second half, taking the game over with three 3s in that span.

That included a heat-checker over the 6-10 Isaac that made it 49-30 with about 15 1/2 minutes left.

"He was kind of playing off a little bit," Jackson said. "I kind of hesitated, I saw that he was playing off and I just knocked down the shot."
