Report finds racial bias in Ferguson police WASHINGTON (AP) — A Justice Department investigation found sweeping patterns of racial bias within the Ferguson, Missouri, police department, with officers routinely discriminating against blacks by using excessive force, issuing petty citations and making baseless traffic stops, according to law enforcement officials familiar with its findings.

The report, which Ferguson city officials said would be released Wednesday, marks the culmination of a months-long investigation into a police department that federal officials have described as troubled and that commanded national attention after one of its officers shot and killed an unarmed black man, 18-year-old Michael Brown, last summer.

It chronicles discriminatory practices across the city’s criminal justice system, detailing problems from initial encounters with patrol officers to treatment in the municipal court and jail. Federal law enforcement officials described its contents on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly before the report is released.

The full report could serve as a roadmap for significant changes by the department, if city officials accept its findings. Past federal investigations of local police departments have encouraged overhauls of fundamental police procedures such as traffic stops and the use of service weapons. The Justice Department maintains the right to sue police departments that resist making changes.

Political groups debate national issues

By JONATHAN LAUREL Staff Writer

On Tuesday, the Texas Tech Student Democrats, Young Conservatives of Texas at Tech and Young Americans for Liberty hosted an event to discuss and debate pressing issues in both in the U.S. and Texas.

Eddie Glenn, a visiting professor in the Department of Communication Studies, moderated the event

and allowed one minute for argument and one minute for rebuttal for each organization.

The Tech Student Democrat debaters included Jared Bressler and Zachary Reames-Zepeda.

Prince Phwitiko and John Bowles represented the Tech Young Conservatives, and Jake Fuller and Isaiah Lopez represented the Young Americans for Liberty.

The first question was how to

influence legislators to help lower education costs.

“I think that we first off need to restructure payments,” Bressler said. “A better system would be to tie repayment to the income percentage in order to pay off their debt.”

He does not think students should be placed in a situation they are not able to get out of, Bressler said.

Students motivate others to work out, be healthy

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

The Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center offers a variety of facilities and services to Texas Tech students, including group fitness classes.

Students employed by the Rec Center teach these classes, and they are responsible for teaching about three hours a week.

April Pavelka, a senior dance major from Alamogordo, New Mexico and a group fitness student supervisor at the Rec Center, said she has been a group fitness class instructor for two and a half years.

“I started taking fitness classes when I was a freshman, and I thought it was really cool,” she said. “I’ve been active my whole life. I heard them start talking about signing up if you wanted to be an instructor, and I thought it would be really cool.”

The students can take an eight-week group fitness instructor training course offered at the Rec Center, and they learn all the different classes offered there.

When students apply to be instructors they must complete an audition, according to the Rec Center website, and the student must choose a class to instruct for 12 minutes.

“I auditioned for a body sculpting class,” Pavelka said. “I auditioned with a short workout about what I wanted to do. Then I got hired.”

During her first semester, Pavelka shadowed different instructors and taught parts of each class before being able to teach her own classes, she said.

Facebook releases suicide prevention tool

By AMY CUNNINGHAM News editor

Facebook has unveiled its plans to release a suicide prevention feature that will allow users to report if another person seems to have thoughts of self-harm.

Through the new tool, users can report suicidal thoughts or behavior of others to Facebook, according to an official post by the social media website. From there, users have the option to receive advice, contact a helpline, contact a friend or have Facebook directly contact the potentially suicidal individual.

Rebecca Ortiz, an assistant professor of advertising, has studied youth suicide prevention and said she has mixed feelings on the effectiveness of the new tool.

“My initial reaction is to wonder how much this will be abused versus how much this will actually benefit,” she said.

“Anybody can sort of say, ‘Hey, I think this person may be having troubles,’ so I’m hesitant to see if this is the best way to handle the type of issues that are happening online and if this is the best place to be doing it.”

A person does not have to be Facebook friends with someone

to report behavior, according to the post.

Suicide is the third-leading cause of death among 10 to 24-year-olds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, and about 4,600 people in this age group die each year.

Facebook, which has more than one billion users, has had self-harm prevention tools on its website for several years, according to the post. This update allows users to directly report suicidal behavior on a specific post instead of users having to fill out a form through the Facebook Help Center.

The most-used social media website in the world teamed up with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, save.org and other suicide-prevention experts to update its resources, according to the post.

The Facebook feature is a good idea in theory, Ortiz said, because it brings the topic of suicide to light.

However, she said it comes across as a public relations attempt by Facebook, which can be used in cyberbullying, to protect the company from backlash instead of a genuine

call to action.

“Suicide and depression have such a stigma built against it that I can imagine there could be some issues with people feeling stigmatized when they receive some of these messages,” Ortiz said. “It could be great, but it’s potentially concerning.”

For some people, the Face-

book tool can be helpful, she said, because suicide is a taboo topic and they may not feel comfortable discussing it.

Kiranmai Mandali, a freshman biology major from Columbus, Ohio, said some of her Facebook friends write suicidal posts and could benefit from intervention.

chemistry major from El Paso, said the Facebook feature is a positive move by Facebook.

“I think it’s a great idea,” she said. “People see too many suicidal posts on Facebook and it’s not something we should take lightly.”

Other social networks could follow Facebook’s lead and re-

lease similar prevention tools, Ortiz said, but some sites may wait to see if Facebook’s feature is successful.

Although there is potential for abuse of the feature, Ortiz said Facebook is allowing more people to openly discuss suicide and depression and know there are resources available.

“Some people may feel more comfortable getting information through a social media site whereas they wouldn’t call a hotline or seek out information online on their own,” Ortiz said.

“It could potentially bring to light the issue and allow some people to consider that maybe they are dealing with mental health issues.”

Each year, 157,000 people between the ages of 10 and 24 require medical care in the U.S. for acts of self-harm, according to the website.

If an individual has directly posted a threat of suicide, contact local law enforcement immediately, according to the Facebook Help Center.

Anyone with thoughts of suicide or self-harm can contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. ➤➤@dailytoreador

grades for individual public schools — rather than just giving letter grades to school districts, which lawmakers approved last session — and expanded online learning.

There are also proposals linking teacher pay raises to annual evaluations, and allowing parents to petition to close failing schools after just two years, instead of the current five.

“Education is not a partisan issue,” said Taylor, a Republican from Friendswood.

Indeed, less outspoken Republicans and even Democrats and teachers groups have cheered some of those ideas in the past. But much of what was listed, especially teacher evaluations that would clash with traditional, seniority-based pay scales, and issuing individual schools around Texas ‘Fs’ should prove contentious.

When the cost of education is rising faster than education, there is a problem, Fuller said.

“We should take a step back and focus on middle school and high school education,” he said.

“The cost of education is not worth the actual education you are getting.”

Texas should look towards trade schools and generally restructure the system to find the problem, he said.

The issue of Texas’ high prison rates was debated.

Texas has gone from No. 1 to No. 4 in prison because of conservative reforms, Bowles said.

“Texas tax payers have saved

about $3 billion due to this,” Bowles said.

Phwitiko and Bowles said the conservative reform is a shining light.

“Do not lock up people for non violent offenses,” Fuller said. “If someone steals something then they should not go to jail, they should have to compensate it or pay for it.”

The law should also be retroactive, he said. For example, if a person is arrested for cannabis in Colorado a few years ago, he or she is not released from prison even though the law changed. This should change, he said.

The Tech Student Democrats representatives agreed with the Libertarians, Bressler said, and think rehabilitation is necessary for violent crimes.

Finally, the issue of allowing

free and law-abiding individuals to carry and bear arms in areas currently labeled as “gun free zones” was posed to the debaters.

“Concealed carry through gun free zones should be a thing,” Fuller said. “People do have a right to self defense.”

When there are individuals who have been proven as responsible, Phwitiko said, and have paid their way, they should be able have a concealed handgun license.

“The liberals’ argument do not really make any sense when it comes to gun control,” he said.

Guns have no place at a university because students are there for only education, Reames-Zepeda said.

The Tech Student Democrats said they are concerned about an increase in school shootouts.

“I am not concerned with school shootouts, those are not very common, I am concerned with student that is being raped or students beat down on campus,” Fuller said. “They deserve to have a weapon to defend themselves.” ➤➤@dailytoreador

State lawmaker wants marijuana legalized AUSTIN (AP) — A tea party-backed Texas state lawmaker has filed a bill to fully legalize marijuana, seeking to strike any prohibition of it from state statute.

Republican state Rep. David Simpson of Longview filed his proposal late Monday. In a statement, he said he seeks to “reframe the current marijuana discussion.”

Simpson has long championed top libertarian causes but supports legalizing marijuana because of his devout Christian beliefs. In his words, “God did not make a mistake when he made marijuana that the government needs to fix.”

Society of Women Engineers shapes leaders

By KRISTEN BARTON La Vida Editor

Men outnumber women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics jobs in the U.S., but one Texas Tech organization is trying to change that, in all levels of education.

The Society of Women Engineers works with young women of all ages to foster a passion for engineering and other STEM jobs and opportunities.

“We do a lot of outreach, we encourage little girls to be engineers and break the stereotype that only little boys are engineers,” Gabriela Mena, president of SWE and a senior environmental engineering major from Laredo, said. “I feel that it’s important because if they had all those types of activities when I was little I would know more.”

In most of her classes the sexes are disproportionate, with men outnumbering women, Mena said.

The program helps women who want to pursue engineering know they are not alone and find comfort and advice with other women, she said.

“I feel like people think it is not meant for girls, that they

Some instructors are specialty instructors and they only teach a specific type of fitness class.

“Some of us, like me, teach everything,” Pavelka said. “Usually with things like that, we end up teaching whatever classes are left on the schedule.

You have a choice, but sometimes it changes every semester.”

While the instructors do not usually

need to be in an office doing paperwork or with their families, but you just need to get the word out that girls can be engineers,” Mena said. “We create a support system with our members. It’s really nice knowing there are more girls out there like us and knowing we all go through the same struggles.”

The Society of Women Engineers is a national organization and was established to promote women in engineering, Susan Mengel, faculty adviser and associate professor of computer science, said. Historically, women are not drawn to engineering.

The members began to do outreach at the elementary schools, Mengel said. It is important to not only reach out to students, but to parents and teachers as well.

Nicole Elliott, the internal public relations officer for SWE and a senior mechanical engineering major from Schertz, said the society does about three outreach activities each school year. In the fall, SWE hosts aits Catch the Engineering Bug event, during which they talk to girls in local schools and set up different stations about the different engineering programs

Tech offers.

“They can see all the different types of engineering and that engineering doesn’t just fit in a little box, you don’t just do math and science you can do anything with engineering,” Elliott said.

“Women within engineering can do anything. It’s really nice to see young girls broadening.”

The activities include making lip gloss and straw towers, she said. SWE also has mother/ daughter activities.

When a mother sees her daughter excited about engineering activities and opportunities, it can be emotional, Elliott said. It is emotional for the members to see mothers so excited for their daughters.

At the college level, the Society of Women Engineers has a mentor program set up for freshmen, Elliott said. The program sets up mentors for freshmen and guides them in picking their classes and adapting to the university, so first year students do not feel alone.

“The really cool thing about this organization that I’ve seen is the members just want to give back,” Mengel said. “It’s very important to them to go to the disadvantaged community and

work many hours a week, they have to work at the same times every week and cannot miss work unless they find a substitute because the fitness classes are scheduled for an entire semester.

Adelaide Castillo, a senior multidisciplinary studies major from Corsicana and a group fitness student supervisor, said she has been an instructor since 2009.

“In the beginning of my undergraduate years I was diagnosed with a tumor in my right hip,” she said. “I had to have reconstructive surgery not once, but twice.

It threw me out of school for about three

years. When I came back I was fully rehabilitated and I started becoming active.”

After attending many group fitness classes at the Rec Center, Castillo wanted to become an instructor to help people the way her instructors had helped her, she said.

Instructors can also get certified in various classes through different national organizations, Castillo said, and she is certified in Group Fitness Classes and many other classes through the National Exercise Trainer Association.

Students discuss spring break plans

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff WritEr

With midterms fast approaching, students are more than ready to take a break from the stresses of being in class. Not all students are taking the time to relax for the entire break. Some are taking it upon themselves to keep busy doing something else.

“Really, just for that whole week I plan on working,” Jeffrey Miller, a sophomore chemical engineering major from Happy, said. “But taking a week off from school is going to be great.”

Other students, such as Alex Hellberg, a junior music education from Plano, will take the whole week off to do nothing.

“I just plan on staying in Lubbock and doing nothing with my friends,” Hellberg said. “I feel like that is actually a better way to pass the time more than anything else.”

With most students using their spring break to take a trip to the beach, there are many out there that have found creative ways to spend their break, a break that will allow them to relax before returning to school.

“I’m actually going to be on tour with my worship band,” John Starrett, a senior exercise and sport sciences major from Houston, said. “We’ll hopefully have a safe trip to the West Coast.”

he said. They plan to use the whole week as a way of getting their name out in the open.

With a full week to kill, students like Kyle Davis, a junior music major from Fort Worth, are taking advantage of the chance to get out of Lubbock, and even get out of Texas.

“I’ve been planning on taking a ski trip to Colorado,” Davis said. “Of course the plans aren’t definite, but it does seem like a lot of fun.”

With a family of ski instructors that live in Colorado, a week there would only seem natural, Davis said. It would also be a good way to visit family that he can’t see often.

Other students will use the break to see family. Juan Bautista, a sophomore music major

from Katy will spend the break on a road trip with his family.

“We’re actually going to be taking a road trip through parts of California,” Bautista said. “It’s going to be a great time to spend with family. To just have a fun time and spend time with them should be fun.”

Along with the road trip, he plans to visit family from California. Their trip would serve as a great bonding moment, he said.

Texas Tech’s spring break will be March 14-22, according to its website. Classes will be resuming Monday, March 23, and another student holiday is not scheduled until April 6.

“It should be a fun time,” Starrett said. “I’m definitely going to enjoy it.” ➤➤@TheDT_LaVida

anywhere and talk to them about the engineering opportunity and just any possibilities that they might have not thought of before.”

The members of this program have internships and many opportunities, Mengel said.

“It’s amazing to hear them and what pops out of their mouths,”

Mengel said. “I think SWE opens up the dreams. It takes you out of the class grind and it puts you into the possibility zone.”

tell them I’m teaching a different type of workout on this day,” she said. “So when I see students come in and I have a little following, it’s encouraging. The experience is working by getting them to come and train and be healthier for that day.”

Even when she is having a bad day, Castillo said teaching a fitness class she enjoys helps get her in a better mood and be energetic for the students in her class.

Pavelka teaches the Turbo Kick class, which combines cardio and dance, and she said she knows her

students are working hard enough when they are quiet.

“Sometimes if I notice they’re not working as hard as they have in the past, I start reminding them that spring break is coming up or that even though it’s winter you still have to look good,” she said. “Sometimes I’ll do competitions and I’ll have them face each other.

Sometimes when you get interaction between the participants then they start getting more intense.”

The instructors get along with each other well and will attend each other’s

classes, Castillo said, and she enjoys having such a positive working environment.

Instructors get paid to work out and help others be healthy, Pavelka said, and she thinks being a fitness instructor is the best job she has had.

“I like being able to see people progress over the course of the semester,” she said. “You see some people getting really into the class, and you start seeing the same faces in every class. It’s cool helping people work out and be healthy and have fun with it.”

New adult genre caters to millennials

T

here comes a point in life when books about dystopic romances featuring rag-tag groups of angstridden teens can no longer satiate a literary appetite. I believe I have reached that point. I don’t feel this way because these books are bad.

It’s more like I’ve outgrown them.

Therefore, it would be nice to have a literary genre to compensate for this sudden void, and it seems as if I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Hence, the creation of the new adult genre. New adult is a fiction genre focusing on protagonists ranging from ages 18 to 25. The term was coined by St. Martin’s Press in 2009 in response to requests for an older version of young adult fiction. The genre isn’t quite official yet, but it has been rising in popularity recently.

Books written by millennials or aimed toward millennials have been around for a while. The transition into adulthood isn’t a new concept and neither is the urge for someone to write or read about it. Nevertheless, I believe giving this particular grouping of books a title makes them more distinct and easier to find.

However, not all millennials are fans of the new adult genre. This genre is receiving great criticism for creating an unnecessary roadblock between adolescence and adulthood, and implying millennials are

Jemima Johnson only a step above teenagers. I don’t see the genre as a challenge to a millennial’s adulthood. While it is unfair to pander to millennials or simply think of the genre as young adult with more mature themes, I don’t think that is the aim of new adult novels.

In truth, many millennials only just emerged from adolescence, and still rely heavily on their parents.

But age doesn’t determine the level of maturity a person has. After all, maturity isn’t something to be attained overnight. Even after decades, some people are still trying to grow up.

An additional criticism of the new adult genre is it insults the literary intelligence of millennials.

No one is saying millennials aren’t mature enough to read Geoffrey Chaucer, Leo Tolstoy or Edgar Allan Poe. If that’s what you like, then go ahead. But every now and then, it might be nice to read about someone your age who is going through some of the exact same things you are.

Another criticism of the genre is it is altogether pointless. Some

John White in banning guns, so they are turning to another tactic to abridge the Second Amendment. By using American citizens’ own tax dollars as weapons against them, these lawmakers are engaging in “bullet control.”

If a citizen cannot afford to essentially outbid the government for bullets, he or she won’t be able to “bear” his or her firearms, as is his or her right. If nearly every form of bullet is banned for “environmental” or “safety” reasons, the effect is the same.

It’s time for Congress to say, “enough is enough” when it comes to the government trampling on our Constitutional liberties. Executive agencies that engage in these underhanded regulatory tactics should be defunded, and their leaders brought to account for their actions.

To their credit, many lawmakers have stepped up to fight this new bullet ban, according to the Fox News website.

More than 100 congressmen have signed a letter indicating their displeasure with the regulations, stating these agencies will, “interfere with [the exercise of] Second Amendment rights by disrupting the market for ammunition.”

In proposing these restrictions, ATF notes these bullets have been known to pierce bulletproof vests. It

concedes, however, these bullets have been allowed since 1986, and are used for clearly legitimate purposes, such as hunting or target shooting. But it claims the fact that they can now be fired from a pistol instead of a rifle further poses a larger risk to law enforcement, which justifies the ban.

However, their argument is undercut by several key points, which were pointed out by the lawmakers in their letter.

First, if the government can justify banning a bullet because it poses a danger to law enforcement, it can ban nearly any weapon or bullet it chooses. Almost all weapons pose a significant danger to law enforcement. However, it is our right as citizens to keep and bear arms, and the government cannot justify a ban because some of society’s miscreants might use the weapons harmfully. This ban, although not on a weapon itself, is being justified by this same argument — and the “slippery slope” it causes is exactly what the Second Amendment was designed to prevent.

Even if one discards the previous philosophical argument, the ATF also offers no evidence that the availability of this bullet for pistols has led to any police fatalities or injuries. If there is no evidence that the level of danger to law enforcement officials has increased, then the only motivation for such a ban is political in nature.

Finally, the lawmakers allege that ATF has failed to follow government reporting requirements in proposing this regulation. As has been the pattern of the Obama administration’s executive agencies, ATF has instead publicized the news of a proposed “ban” in hopes of winning political points for Obama, but has not placed the regulations on the Federal Register where they can be constructively considered as a whole by lawmakers.

Since it is clear Obama does not intend to do so, it is time members of Congress stand up and do their job — protect the rights of their constituents.

Lawmakers should oppose this ban, and any others like it, as they would any other form of gun control. After all, while it may not generate as much media hype, “bullet control” is just as effective in abridging the freedom of the American people, and must be stopped immediately.

believe there is no need to further fracture literature into age-specific categories. I definitely don’t believe millennials are lesser adults, but I do think we have a unique experience independent of adults who have been around longer.

An additional criticism of new adult is it seeks to generalize the experiences of a wide age group. Some target readers of new adult are fresh out of high school, while others are newlyweds. But I believe both of these groups share a common struggle — finding themselves.

Whether you’re in college trying to pick the perfect major or out in the workforce trying to find the right job, you are trying to discover who you are and where you fit into the world. For the most part, the days of cliques and overbearing parents telling you how to live your life are over. You are an adult and your life choices are yours to make and yours alone to cherish.

New adult gives millennials a genre of their own in which to group all of these experiences and share them with one another. Sure, there may be misrepresentations and missteps along the way, but I don’t believe those specifically disqualify the need for the genre as a whole.

Congress should oppose Obama on bullet regulations uring the past few years, liberals in Congress (and executive branch agencies such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Homeland Security, led by the White House) have attempted to shove gun control regulations down the throat of the American people. Thankfully, most of these regulations, which abridge the rights of the American people, have failed.

However, these rogue lawmakers have had more success with regulating another key aspect in the use of firearms — the manufacture and sale of bullets.

These regulations have essentially the same effect, yet for some reason stir much less negative publicity.

In the latest example of this particular behavior, the ATF, which is under the auspices of President Barack Obama, has recently proposed regulations banning one of the most common types of ammunition used in the popular AR-15 rifle, the .223 M855 bullet.

This comes on the heels of the DHS and ATF, which are paying exorbitant amounts of money to buy exorbitant amounts of bullets on the market (in order to decrease the supply and raise prices for the average American) as well as the Environmental Protection Agency’s effective ban on lead-in bullets, which also causes a large increase in price to the consumer.

If it wasn’t clear before, it should be clear now — Obama and liberals in Congress have failed to achieve their purpose

Students should read ‘Anthem’ novel

R

ecently I’ve read a novel titled “Anthem” by Ayn Rand, which was her second book to be published after “We the Living.” This book opened my mind to a new way of looking at the world, while its author was also looking for her style and philosophy.

A short novel of only 105 pages in length, Rand slowly puts a montage of ideals into this story with a character of Equality 7-2521 as he struggles to find a place he belongs. This character is challenged to break away from the “we” to the “I” persona. This short novel is a touching tale that allows the reader to view parallels within our own society.

“Anthem” was originally published in 1938 and has many elements of dystopian fiction that teach the audiences what societies can become given a certain direction. Like “The Giver”

by Lois Lowry, or George Orwell’s “1984” or even “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury, this novel is a cautionary tale of societies giving up too much of their freedom to their leaders.

There was a main scene that really made the book one worth finishing. The captivating scene included another human named International 4-8818, who became a street sweeper like the protagonist. The International 4-8818 characters are described in the novel as, “…different. They are tall, strong youth and their eyes are like fireflies, for there is laughter in their eyes.

We cannot look upon International 4-8818 and not smile in answer. For this they are not liked in the house of the students as it is not proper to smile without reason.” I felt this statement rang true even now, for when people smile too often or too much, they are often perceived to be ignorant or their smiles are perceived to have a wrong purpose behind them. Why is this?

The same excerpt from the novel further goes on to mention, “And also they were not liked because they took pieces of coal and they drew pictures upon the walls, and they were pictures that made men laugh. But it is only our brothers in the home of the Artists who are permitted to draw pictures, so International 4-8818 were sent to the Home of the Street Sweepers, like ourselves.”

This is an interesting case of censorship and control that Rand loves to write about, as she came from a communist Russia. She loves to make a hero in her novels possess very individualistic ideals that lead him or her to show others another way of being.

While this is admirable, this idea becomes harder to put into action as individuals struggle today to change even the smallest of things.

Postmaster: send address changes to The Daily Toreador,

Kendra Kimberlin In “Anthem,” Rand actually gives the protagonist character a yearning to create a community of others who share similar mentalities. Equality not only finds his friendship with the character International, but also a love interest in Liberty 5-300. After identifying flaws within the scholars and seeing what they are doing, it is evident that it is not always beneficial to do those things. This gives the character the guts to go after what he believes is a better life.

There is an interesting truth about what could happen if the masses were brought to one level of intelligence.

Bringing the intelligent down to the lower average and issuing a prize to the ignorant and non-thinking personages brings detrimental issues for everyone.

We all need to find our own anthem and need to identify a ‘community’ that is built on what is believed to be true and right within our own frame of minds.

“Anthem” is a book that is often overlooked by some of the author’s other longer and more successful novels. However, it is interesting to see where some of her ideals originated.

It is very refreshing to see what books written by a variety of authors with different backgrounds in different time periods can teach the masses outside the platform of a lecture hall.

Texas Tech wins in historically long game

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

PHOTO BY ZACKARY BRAME/The Daily Toreador

TEXAS TECH BASEBALL players pick up Hunter Hargrove after he reached home plate to win the game against Abilene Christian on Tuesday at Rip Griffin Park. Tech won the game in 16 innings.

In the longest game in Texas Tech baseball history since 1966, the No. 5 Red Raiders defeated Abilene Christian 6-5 in 16 innings, just one inning short of the school record.

After falling behind by a run in the top of the final inning, sophomore infielder Hunter Hargrove hit an RBI single to tie the game again. Sophomore infielder Ryan Long then entered the game and hit a double off the wall which allowed Hargrove to score the game-winning run.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock said despite the Wildcats coming to Lubbock with an 0-6 record, they battled with his team until the end.

“Hats off to ACU. They played a heck of a game,” he said. “I’ll have to think about longest games (coached) and all that. That’s not really on my mind right now.”

Sophomore left-handed pitcher Ty Damron started for the Red Raiders. After allowing only one hit in the first two innings, Abilene Christian knocked multiple hits in the third inning and scored three runs.

Damron was pulled in the third inning with two outs for senior right-handed pitcher Corey Taylor.

Tech closed the gap in the bottom of the fourth inning when junior outfielder Quinn Carpenter had an RBI single, advanced to second on a balk and then beat a throw at plate to make the score 3-2.

Tech would add two more runs in the next inning to claim its first lead of the game.

The two teams were then held scoreless in the sixth and seventh innings.

Abilene Christian responded with a single run in the eighth inning to tie the game back again.

The Red Raiders were unable to capitalize with two runners on base in the ninth inning, which caused the game to go the extra innings.

Tech senior right-handed pitcher Dominic Moreno gave the Wildcat hitters trouble in extra innings as he struck out seven in 4.1 innings of work.

Moreno said he was just focused on keeping all their hitters off balance.

“I’ve been in this position quite a few times. I’m usually in there, me and Corey (Taylor), when we have a one run or tie game,” Moreno said. “Really you have to act like you’re up 1-0, up a run, and go in there and throw strikes, mainly.”

In the 13th inning, junior Tyler

Alvarez homers, Pirates beat Blue Jays 8-7 DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) — Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run shot and Korean rookie Jung Ho Kang connected for his first major league homer, leading the

Pittsburgh Pirates to an 8-7 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday in the exhibition opener for both teams.

Alvarez’s drive came in the first in-

ning off Aaron Sanchez after Gregory Polanco singled and Starling Marte reached on an error by new Toronto third baseman Josh Donaldson.

Sanchez, a candidate for the starting rotation, yielded four hits, five runs — two earned — and walked one in 1 1-3 innings.

Lady Raiders drop to No.19 Red Raiders climb up two spots After taking a week off from competition, the Lady Raider tennis team dropped three spots in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings to the No. 19 spot, according to a Tech Athletics news release Tuesday.

During the Lady Raiders’ week off, Pepperdine picked up key wins over the Texas Longhorns and the Texas Christian Horned Frogs to take over Tech’s previous No. 16 ranking.

Miami’s upset win over No. 14 Clemson and Dartmouth’s win over the University of Massachusetts

contributed to the Lady Raiders drop in the rankings.

The Lady Raiders seek to climb the national rankings as they return home to face off against the No. 23 Wichita State Shockers at 10 a.m. Friday at the McLeod Tennis Center.

Tech’s matchup versus the Shockers marks the 11th time this season the Lady Raiders face off against a ranked opponent.

Shortly after their matchup against the Shockers, Tech will face Louisiana Tech at 5 p.m.

The Texas Tech men’s tennis team improved its national ranking and moved up to the No. 30 spot in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

After competing in 10 contests and winning seven , Tech has moved up 18 spots in the national rankings during the season.

During Tech head coach Tim Siegel’s tenure, Tech has achieved a ranking in the top 30 in 11 straight seasons.

both were left on base.

Tech was able to stay in the game partly because of junior second baseman Cory Raley’s four hits in the game.

Raley said he was just seeing the ball better today than he has been so far this season.

“It was fun. It was good to get my feet wet,” he said. “Coach always talks about hang your hat on a good at-bat, and that’s what I did today.”

Soares, with a 15-9 record, holds the highest ranking among the four Red Raiders with a No. 38 ranking.

In doubles competition, Soares and Dojas, with a 19-8 record, rank No. 23 in the nation, while Curry and Soares rank No. 50 with a 3-0 record.

The Red Raiders face the No. 32 San Diego Toreros at 12 p.m. on March 13 at the McLeod Tennis Center.

Neslony had a chance to beat a throw at the plate but slipped and fell halfway between third and home and was tagged out.

“He (falls) and then I go over to Corey (Taylor) and start laughing, to be honest with you,” Moreno said. “That’s probably not what most people would do but we were like ‘oh, hopefully we can joke about this later.’ Everything was just kind of going against us but we knew we could get the W.” In the bottom of the 15th inning, the first two Red Raider batters walked with no outs, but they were unable to capitalize as
