Tech HSC hosts annual Student Research Week This week, the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences will host its 27th Annual Student Research Week in the Academic Classroom building of HSC. Students in the graduate school organize the week each year, according to an HSC news release, and this year’s theme is Host-Microbe Interactions: Exploring Worlds Within.

“We decided to go with the theme of host-microbe interactions to bring attention to the importance of research on immunology and molecular microbiology,” Loc Le, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences student and chair of the event, said in the release. “Research and development in this field could address concerns such as antibiotic resistance and further help with personalizing medicine. Student Research Week is a great opportunity for students to present their research in a conference-like atmosphere. We hope that Student Research Week stimulates the exchange of ideas and promotes interdisciplinary collaborations.”

Research week shows what the students have researched and accomplished throughout the year, Brandt Schneider, dean of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, said in the release.

Keynote speakers of the week are Steven Reed and Dr. Eugene Chang, according to the release.

Reed will speak at 10:45 a.m. Friday in the ACB, according to the release, and Chang will give his address at 1 p.m. Friday.

Students will give presentations beginning at 9:30 a.m. Friday, according to the release, with the Student Research Awards Ceremony taking place at 2:15 p.m. Friday. ➤➤@dailytoreador

Obama calls for more rights for struggling students ATLANTA (AP) — Issuing a clarion call to Americans saddled by student debt, President Barack Obama urged student borrowers Tuesday to stand up for their rights, and announced a medley of modest steps to bring some order to a notoriously chaotic system.

Obama unveiled his “student aid bill of rights” before a gymnasium packed with nearly 10,000 students at Georgia Tech, where he said the nation must mobilize to bring about deeper changes to student loans.

Not only should every American be able to afford college, Obama said, they also should be able to afford the loan payments that kick in with a vengeance once they graduate.

Up ‘til Dawn is a nationwide philanthropic event. College students raise money and awareness for St. Jude, according to the St. Jude website.

In November, Texas Tech University raised more than $35,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through the Up ‘til Dawn fundraising event.

As a result of this success, and a long application process, Mark Khan, a junior marketing major from Round Rock, has been appointed to a position on the national board for Up ‘til Dawn.

Khan will serve as national director on the National Visions Committee, he said. This means he will serve as a link between the national committee and the Tech Up ‘til Dawn organization. He will be in charge of coordinating with every school in the country involved in the program.

Last year Tech participated in Up ‘til Dawn but was not very successful, Kahn said. This year Tech raised nearly six times as much as it did last year, making Tech one of the top schools in the nation.

Tech student to attend Austin lobby day Tech recognizes Raiders through program Texas Tech student Aubrey Reinhardt, a senior agricultural communications major from Granbury, is traveling to Austin today to take part in Lobby Day at the capitol.

While at the capitol, she said she will represent Planned Parenthood, an opportunity she gained through reaching out to the organization to see if it had plans to reopen a clinic in Lubbock.

“I’m really excited and a little bit nervous,” she said, “but the opportunity to get the word out there, that there are so many West Texas women, not even West Texas women but Texas women in general, that are going through this fight of wanting to be healthy, not even just getting on birth control.”

While at Lobby Day, Reinhardt will have the opportunity to meet with others from the Planned Parenthood organization, talk with legislators about why she feels funding should be given to reopen the clinic in Lubbock, as well as attend the Planned Parenthood rally that will occur Wednesday to share her story, she said.

Funding was originally cut in 2011, she said, and there was an increase in abortion laws.

This led to the closing of numerous Planned Parenthood clinics, she said, because the clinics could no longer fund operations.

“So the Planned ParREINHARDT enthoods in this area that a lot of the people that go there are low-income people,” Reinhardt said. “They lost the funding to take care of those people.”

Reinhardt said it is important to her for people to realize not every Planned Parenthood clinic conducts abortions and it offers far more services.

“Low-cost healthcare from Planned Parenthood helps prevent ovarian cancer, breast cancer, all these, I mean STDs, all of that, and women are not able to get access to that and it’s so sad,” Reinhardt said. “I just want to show them we’re being denied a right. To take away her healthcare is essentially disregarding women entirely.”

Reinhardt will fly to Austin Wednesday morning, she said, and return Wednesday night after attending Lobby Day. ➤➤@KaitlinBainDT

Texas Tech students, student organizations, faculty and staff members are eligible to be recognized in the Raiders Who Rock program. However, another member of the Tech community must first nominate the individual or group.

Rachel Bobbitt, assistant director of Transition and Engagement, said the program has existed for several years to show Tech’s commitment to its ethical principles.

Nominations are due Sunday, according to the Tech Transition and Engagement website.

“The Raiders Who Rock program exists as a way to recognize Texas Tech students, faculty, staff members and organizations that exemplify our university’s ethical principles,” she said. “We do this through a nomination process.”

Through the nomination process, Tech students, faculty and staff members can recognize others whose acts of kindness and ethical decisions might go unnoticed by the overall community, she said.

The program showcases individuals and groups to other Red Raiders of what

RAIDERS WHO ROCK PROGRAM Students must be enrolled at Tech Faculty, staff must be currently employed at Tech Organizations must be registered with Center for Campus Life Nominees exemplify one or more of Tech Strive for Honor ethical principles

to strive for, Bobbitt said.

“We say strive for honor, we hold our guns up in the air,” she said, “but we don’t want to lose sight of what that really means.”

Tech officials expect to receive anywhere from 75 to 80 nominations, she said.

“I think it’s important that it doesn’t have to be some big, grand act,” Bobbitt said. “It’s the little things we do in our daily lives, not just something that is super unattainable.” ➤➤@dailytoreador

Next year’s SGA president discusses plans Staff Writer

On Friday, the new executive members of the Texas Tech Student Government Association were elected for the 51st session.

Holton Westbrook won the presidency of the student body and will assume the office in April.

Current SGA President Hayden Hatch will finish up his term at the end of March as the 50th session of the Student Government Association comes to a close.

Westbrook said being elected was unbelievable and was one of the biggest highlights of his life.

“The last three or four years of my life it has been my goal to represent the student body at a higher level,” Westbrook, a junior agricultural economics and business dual major from Stephenville, said. “It is still surreal, and it is definitely something I am looking forward to.”

Caleb Fisher of the One Tech

candidate bloc will be external vice president, Amber Yanez of O n e Te c h w i l l serve as internal v i c e p r e s i d e n t WESTBROOK and Saba Nafees of Techsan Tradition will be the graduate vice president, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador.

With next year’s executive officers split between the two blocs, Westbrook said it was difficult watching the two blocs divide.

He cannot wait to give back to the university at the presidential level, he said.

This month and part of April will be spent shadowing Hatch, Westbrook said.

“We want next year’s execs to learn as much as they possibly can, so we have quite a few things planned to ensure they have all the tools they need to do well,” Baleigh Waldrop, the current internal vice president,

I think it’s really surprising and I think and I feel like the president of the school handled it really well in his punishment for the fraternity. It’s kind of sad to see that that’s still happening especially since it’s 2015. This still shouldn’t be happening like that. Kianah Gordon -

Junior education major from Mansfield -

I feel that, like, Greek fraternities are going to get a lot of flak, just in general, from that. And also, since something similar happened at Tech — not with race but rather with gender. It’s just a stupid situation.

They shouldn’t have been doing that.

“

I think the issue has been longstanding at OU. It’s just, now that it’s gone viral and now that the chickens have come to roost, it’s about time they get caught.

Hank Stevens Junior industrial engineering major from Beaumont -

I thought there was progress in society and I think it’s right that the university to disband that fraternity at the school. It’s not right for them to show that that’s OK and you’re going to purposefully get rid of certain people from your group just because of the color of their skin.

Westbrook, who serves on the Task Force on Greek Organization Culture as a student member, said the situation with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter at the University of Oklahoma should be a learning experience for all campuses.

Students need to learn from past experiences in order to grow, he said, and he thinks the Greek Task Force has improved Greek life overall.

“I feel like we have a better grasp on where we need to go and what we need to do in terms of education of students, improvement on current procedures and redevelopment of leadership in the Greek community,” he said. “The Greek culture has improved in the overall awareness of what needs to be done and how it needs to be done safely.” ➤➤@dailytoreador

The current WALDROP SGA executive officers want to ensure the new team can work together and understand how Tech and SGA operate together, Waldrop said.

A year in office is not a long time, she said, so a crash course in everything related to SGA is important to make the most of the time given.

Westbrook said it is important for all the incoming officers to understand how far Hatch, Waldrop and the other officers have come in accomplishing their goals in order to finish their in-progress initiatives.

Developing endowment funds for scholarships would be one of the first initiatives he would want to complete, he said.

Ravi’s Hookah Lounge will host a charity event today at 8 p.m. for Texas Tech’s Human Trafficking Awareness Week.

On Wednesday nights at 8 p.m., Ravi’s Hookah Lounge offers a study night for students, which includes a free self-service coffee station and relaxed off campus study environment for Tech students.

The study night has been going on for about three weeks, manager Eric Rader said, for students.

“I wanted to start doing a

Abortion clouds trafficking bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Bipartisan legislation to crack down on human trafficking turned unexpectedly controversial Tuesday because of a Republican-backed provision relating to abortion that Democrats said they failed to notice.

Democrats privately conceded they lack the votes to strip out the abortion provision, and some lawmakers suggested they would attempt to prevent a final vote on the entire measure instead.

The disputed provision would permanently prohibit the use of federal funds to pay for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest and when the life of the woman was jeopardized. The restrictions have been enacted annually for decades.

It also would prohibit the use of fines paid by convicted sex traffickers to pay for most abortions, a provision that Democrats said amounted to an expansion on existing restrictions.

more relaxed nights, with chiller music and with a more laid back atmosphere since we have DJ nights on the weekends,” he said. “I thought the free coffee and study night would be a good way to do that.”

“We are doing the charity event for the student organization that is raising awareness about the issue of human trafficking,” he said. “A percentage of ranging from 20 percent to 30 percent depending on the nights turnout will be given to the cause and guests will be given the opportunity to make

donations as well.”

Greyson Blankley, a junior restaurant, hotel and institutional management major from Clyde, said students enjoy going to businesses to study and attend events.

This is a good opportunity, especially for the college students, because it has the same feeling as a coffee shop would have but gives the students more options than just going to a coffee shop or a library, Rader said.

Blankley said if other off campus businesses started hosting events related to Tech and geared toward students, he

would appreciate it.

Future plans for the study night include to make it a complete study night where the atmosphere is appropriate for studying purposes.

Rader said he wants the room to be relatively quiet for students, he said.

“The majority of our crowd it college students, so I want the majority of people in here to be college students,” he said. “Everyone from the community is able to come here, but I want to gear our events towards students.” ➤➤@dailytoreador

Fraternity member apologizes for video DALLAS (AP) — The president of a Dallas prep school says it appears a graduate is one of the University of Oklahoma students leading a racist chant captured on video during a fraternity event.

A letter posted on the Jesuit Dallas website by school president Mike Earsing does not identify the student. But Earsing says he is appalled by the actions in the video and extremely hurt by the pain it has caused the community. He says everyone at Jesuit Dallas is committed to a culture of justice and equality.

University of Oklahoma President David Boren announced Tuesday that two students he did not identify have been expelled over the video, which shows several people on a bus participating in a chant that included a racial slur. It’s not clear if the Jesuit Dallas graduate was one of the suspended students.

Serious relationship lasts while Lubbock Wildlife Rehabilitation students juggle responsibilities Center takes in stray ducklings

By JENNIFER ROMERO

By MICHAEL CANTU

College students often have multiple responsibilities to balance, and it can be hard to find time for a relationship.

Nancy Robinson, a licensed psychologist at the Student Counseling Center and coordinator of the MindSpa services, said the center offers couples counseling to students in committed relationships and marriages.

“We also offer another service that involves our Relationship Enhancement Center,” she said. “That is a different type of couples counseling. It’s more intensive. The couples are met with two co-therapists. They get more intensive counseling in that format, which can be really helpful.”

Couples can attend up to 12 counseling sessions in an academic year, and these services are at no cost to the students.

People in serious relationships need to make time for their partners, and Robinson said it can be hard for students when many of them have jobs in addition to classes.

“Relationships need to be nurtured, and you need to put time into them,” she said. “One thing that’s really important is making time and making sure you prioritize some time and energy for your partner.”

While making time is not always easy, Robinson said it is worth it to have a supportive relationship with someone who is there in a constant way.

Healthy relationships are built on compromising equally and actively listening to each other’s feelings, according to the SCC website, but it is also important to have some separate social activities and to respect each other’s privacy.

“It’s important to communicate in a healthy way and to address conflicts that are invariably going to come up in a way that leaves both people feeling respected and heard,” Robinson said.

“I think some healthy communication skills are important, and people don’t always come into relationships with those.”

The SCC can help students in relationships work through some problems they are having, but Robinson said counseling does not always guarantee a relationship will work out in the end.

Paulette Flores, a freshman biology major from San Antonio, has been in a serious relationship for three years and recently got engaged.

“It’s easier now because in high school we went to different schools and

On Monday morning a plastic container with two ducklings was brought to the South Plains Wildlife rehabilitation center. The ducklings were found in a stairwell in a dorm on the Tech campus.

“This was an isolated incident,” Gail Barnes, education and volunteer coordinator for the rehabilitation center, said, “We don’t see stuff like this all the time, so it was actually pretty new to us.”

The reason this type of situation is different is because the Rehabilitation Center deals with mostly native, non-domestic animals around the South Plains, Barnes said. The types of mallard ducks were a nonnative mix.

“The ducks were left in a Tupperware container,” she said.

“Someone left a little cloth at the bottom, and a few breadcrumbs around them.”

There were no details given to the center as to what hall the ducklings were found in, Barnes said. “Many times people find baby animals alone,” Emily Wright, a zoology major and intern at the South Plains Wildlife Rehabilitation Center from Rowlett, said.

“What many people don’t know is the mother might have just gone off to find food.”

Working with wildlife around the area, the center runs into instances like that all the time, Wright said. The most important thing to keep in mind is animals do not need to be moved.

“When people do this it hurts the animal more than it helps,” Daniel Andrews, cooperation manager for the rehabilitation center from Lubbock, said. “It only makes the animals depend on humans more, making them less able to go back into their natural habitat.”

Although Flores said she has already thought out most of the details of her wedding, she and Coldeway plan to wait to get married until after they graduate.

$2,500 in Scholarships Available For Graduate and Undergraduate Students

The Texas Tech Faculty Legal Action Association (TTFLAA) invites all Texas Tech Students to compete for two Academic Scholarships, one valued at $1,500 and the other $1,000.

The scholarships will be awarded to currently-enrolled undergraduate or graduate students submitting the best original essays on the topic “The Role and Importance of Academic Freedom in the University.” The TTFLAA was formed in 1985-1986 when then President Lauro Cavazos sought to replace the existing tenure system with a system of rollover contracts. Academic Freedom and Tenure involve the freedom of faculty and staff in higher education to continue research, create art and to make it public without being punished by the University. The Scholarship was created with money contributed by many faculty members to a fund that might have to be used to challenge the proposed policy in the courts. Since the proposal was later modified, interest from the fund has been used to fund the Scholarships. If a student is not from Texas, out of state tuition is waived so that the winner will pay only in-state tuition and fees.

Entries must be no longer than 1,000 words. They must be typed, and include a cover sheet with the submitting student’s name. Do not type your name on the essay. Students may use MLA style footnotes with a bibliography at the end.

The double-spaced pages of the essay itself-submitted in three copies by Friday, April 10, 2015.

A faculty committee will judge the essays. The TTFLAA reserves the right to publish or otherwise use for academic purposes any essay submitted, and to publish the name and/or photograph of the recipient.

Send essay to: Campus Mail Box of Prof. William G. Hartwell III, School of Music, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Tx, 79409-2033.

The winner will be announced by Friday, April 24, 2015 • Kayla Tindle, a Graduate Student in Education, was a winner of a $1,500 Scholarship, while Sean Webb, a Graduate Student in History, both from Lubbock, won a $1,000 Scholarship in 2014.

• Caleb Rogers, a Natural Resources Management Graduate Student, and Mehmaz Radmi, a Graduate Student in Media and Communications, both from Lubbock, were winners of $1,000 Scholarships in 2013.

people to be aware of the harm it does to animals is to help the native species around Lubbock, Andrews said.

The center is more partial to dealing with wildlife such as native bird species of Texas, along with different mammals and reptilian species, Barnes said. The center is well versed in dealing with baby ducklings.

“In order to deal with the type of birds we have you need to be permitted,” she said. “It’s illegal for someone to own some of these animals without a permit.”

Because it is a permitted center this gives the opportunity for internships with the rehab center, Barnes said, and it works closely with Texas Tech and universities around Texas to teach students how to handle animal species of West Texas.

“Being a zoology major I have never had hands-on experience like this,” Wright said. “It teaches me the correct ways to work with these animals and have fun while doing so.”

The internship program at the center takes around eight interns, giving them the opportunity to earn three hours of academic credit and 100 volunteer hours, Barnes said.

“We’re taking applications for summer and fall internships,” she said.

“They’re open to any major and any university around.”

The center also makes frequent trips to schools around the area, show-

ing off its vast college of bird species, Barnes said. It is also the only rehabilitation center for all native species within a 350-mile radius.

Along with school shows, the center also gives tips to people around the area on how to deal with any animal they might find.

“It is important not to try and domesticate native animals,” Andrews said. “If a person does try that it could have the potential of having the animal become too comfortable with humans, and that can become a dangerous situation.”

The center is also almost solely run on volunteers and will not turn anyone down.

“Everyone should go out there and volunteer,” Wright said. “Because animals can’t speak you can see all of the thank you in their eyes, and that is the most rewarding part of the job.”

The center is located on 95th street off of Indiana Avenue, and is open for anyone to bring any injured or lost animals around Lubbock, according to the center’s website. It is important to note they work with non-domesticated animals, so dogs and cats should be taken elsewhere.

“Our mission is to rehabilitate and return animals to their natural environment,” Barnes said. “They are all a part of our natural resources and we try our best to educate people about.” ➤➤@TheDT_LaVida

Publishers fail to be fair at times Kendra A Kimberlin

s college students, we spend an exorbitant amount of money on textbooks put out by the big five publishers. This enables them to continue to put out new editions in an attempt to keep their brand going. So far they’ve been successful.

This situation really gets under my skin when I shell out my cash for book purchases. In addition, it is irritating as the semester progresses to discover that the material covered in those particular texts is not a quality product. This is not exclusive to textbooks, but also to novels and other publications that large publishers push strictly on an author, even a hot-selling topic at the time.

But is it entirely their fault?

Or is there another force pushing this machine to constantly put out a new work in mass printing?

As Amazon tries to monopolize the publishing game with e-books, it creates problems for distributors and creators.

According to an article by The New York Times, “When a company has dominant market power and sells goods for below marginal cost, it is engaging in predatory pricing, a violation of federal antitrust laws.”

In response to this change, Franklin Foer writes that pub-

lishers are taking it into their own hands.

“In their desperation, publishers have tried various gambits to alter this dynamic. They have attempted to fight size with size — a misbegotten notion that led them to collude with Apple in blatant violation of pricefixing laws. And in the same spirit, they have accelerated the old tendency to seek safety in mergers. Just last year, Random House joined Penguin to form a mega-house, which controls 25 percent of the book business, in the dim hope that this new brawn would insulate them from Amazon’s harshest demands. But even a giant corporation ultimately has to bend to the will of their big buyer,” according to the New Republic website.

One of my favorite quotes comes from “The Holiday.”

After finding out that nine movies will be opening on Friday, Arthur Abbott tells Kate Winslet, “This is supposed to be conducive to good work?”

This sums up this issue of publishers in not only the physi-

This specific senator was one of the state’s biggest champions for gun control. Of course, there’s also the debacle of a Virginia lawmaker who is now under a felony indictment for lying about his prior case involving whether he did or did not get his underage assistant pregnant.

He won re-election during all of this from behind bars. Yes, he won re-election from jail.

Also, there is a U.S. senator from New Jersey under investigation for involvement in underage prostitution in the Dominican Republic while traveling with a

cal publications, but also in the area of e-books. Publishers end up giving the stamp of approval to subpar entries. Instead, they need to cultivate a reputation of quality and professional writers.

“This upfront money is the economic pillar on which quality books rest, the great bulwark against dilettantism. Advances make it financially viable for a writer to commit years of work to a project,” according to an article in The Washington Post.

So as times change to a more digital arena for books and publications, things like creativity and quality should not be tradeoffs. Independent publishers are not necessarily the answer either, due to the fact they don’t funnel works through creative controls.

Any random publishing company needs quality checks and balances for the many sorts of creative works it prints. The works of authors should promote clarity and a clear purpose in hopes of avoiding misunderstandings among readers.

There are plenty of things literature has in store already that can be misconstrued and do not need to become a trend.

Society should always be held accountable hether it is about morals, political correctness or what kinds of examples people provide, accountability says many things about a person. It says many things about who is held to account and who is holding someone accountable.

There have been many scandals of late, such as the Donald Sterling racist comment debacle. Also, the Bruce Levenson self-reported racist email scandal is a big deal. Of course, there is also deflate-gate, and the accusations of the last-minute switch in the last Super Bowl being based on race. There is now a baseball player who made his opinions known to a reporter who asked him a pointed question. The subject of the baseball player’s comments even stood up for the guy. The team is now censoring his speech.

Accountability anyone?

So it’s obvious people have no problem holding sports figures accountable for their words and actions. What about other people?

Religious figures are also held accountable for their words and actions quite often, as they well should be.

What standard are they being held up against? Many atheists, though not all, find offense at the mere whisper of a prayer in their presence. There is a lawsuit roughly every month about a chaplain getting booted for not violating his own beliefs, or cheerleaders in a small town holding bible verse

Sure Shots

campaign contributor. These people make laws governing the ways people live their lives and how able they are to make their way in the world, but still deflate-gate is more well known.

I could also mention one of the co-founders of the Human Rights Campaign and a major fundraiser and donor of a prominent political party was arrested recently on sodomy and sex-abuse of an underage boy, but probably few have heard about that either. A brief mention in the news and we’re back to a commercial or coverage of the latest sporting event or celebrity scandal.

Corporations such as Hobby Lobby are definitely held accountable. All there has to be is a wave of layoffs or unfair treatment and everyone is up in arms about it.

Just look at all of the press coverage about the Keystone XL Pipeline bringing oil down from the tar sands. All sorts of activist groups are foaming at the mouth over the idea that a pipeline carrying what many consider the dirtiest possible oil could be running from Canada to Texas. Yet few talk about all of the other pipelines from the same source running through the Great Lakes area to Portland, Maine.

Investors such as one Tom Steyer, who has a long history of investing in oil companies but yet is one of the major monetary forces behind opposition to the Keystone XL Pipeline, are also rarely spoken of.

Of course, he is also a major political campaign donor, but that couldn’t have anything to do with it.

So who is there to hold people accountable? Why are so many readers uninformed of the scandals I brought up, or the many others plaguing the world of people and define a major part of how our money is spent and how we live our lives?

Have we ceased to care about these individuals? Why are businesses, that we can boycott or simply not buy from, held to a higher standard than people voted into office? Why are people who are chosen to lead us and shape the lives of those who come after us not held to at least the same standard? Is it because we don’t care? Or is it because we are uninformed? Or, are we uniformed because we don’t care?

Some readers may have noticed by now I haven’t mentioned a single political party throughout this entire article. That’s part of the point.

It shouldn’t matter. We should hold people accountable whether they support our views or not. At least that’s my opinion. If you don’t like the narrative, then change it.

Tech needs to renovate Rec Center

I

love the feeling of going to rock concerts. There is something surreal about being in a packed crowd of people who are all there for the same purpose. Sweaty bodies, fighting for spaces and loud music thumping overhead always get my adrenaline going. I’ve even attended electric concerts where there is foam sprayed so everyone is even more sticky and crammed than ever, and let me tell you, I’m seriously addicted.

When I want to experience these feelings again, I’ll often go to the weightlifting section of the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center. My college budget sadly does not allow me to attend as many concerts as I would like, but fortunately the Rec Center is becoming so packed I can just turn up my headphones and recreate the whole experience.

A quick walk from the Rec Center after class hours will show anyone what I mean. All bench press and squat racks are continually manned, and outside all StairMasters are worked continuously until closing time. I used to view the upstairs as the hidden oasis of the Rec Center, but now it can get so packed I feel like I’m running in a popular 5k (it must be noted, however, Texas Tech is renovating the outside track to create more space in the warmer seasons).

Crazy enough, Tech is still going to grow by a couple more thousand students. The campus has a goal of reaching 40,000 students by 2020, and recently officials have said the campus may reach that goal sooner than we thought, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador. Current Tech enrollment currently is a bit more than 33,000, meaning that we have about 7,000 more students to go.

Despite the growing population of students on the Tech campus, there remain no current plans to grow the Rec Center facility. Ac-

Jarrod Miller cording to the Strategic Plan for Facility Growth presented by the Tech System Board of Regents, the funds for athletic activities have largely gone into expansions for the Jones AT&T Stadium. In the next few years, the board of regents mostly plans for expansion in academic projects as well as residence halls. For this, I am very grateful.

In addition to the beautiful outdoor campus renovations students are seeing this semester, it is clear Tech is working hard to keep up with the sharp influx of students coming to campus. Unfortunately, if there are no plans for an updated Rec Center in the next few years, I fear students will be rubbing elbows in the basketball courts for many more years.

Sometimes I wonder if I am being too picky about the Rec Center.

After all, I am only charged a measly $100 for the Rec Center fees.

Before my college budget became so slim I was paying a luxurious $30 a month for a membership at Zach’s Club. At this gym I never had to battle for the squat rack, and the vast rows of treadmills only had a few middle-aged members jogging on them.

I know the Rec Center will never be completely vacant, but if I have any guilt of being spoiled, it usually dissipates as soon as I drive into the Rec Center parking lot.

This parking lot is so packed and abused by its students, it never fails to have me shouting profanities into my dashboard. Every day there is a parade of cars circling the parking lot, like a swarm of hungry vultures looking for a desperate opportunity. I don’t even want to begin talking about the frequent

events at the United Supermarkets Arena, resulting in Tech restricting the Rec Center parking to a measly two lanes.

It is important Tech considers a Recreation Center renovation not because of me, but for the influx of students which will be arriving in years to come. After all, I have no doubt I will never personally see any renovations to the Rec Center.

These changes simply take too long, and I will be long graduated before I see any changes made.

Tech is a public institution campus, but in many senses it is also a business. The board of regents must balance raising revenues with providing cutting-edge academic facilities and keeping its students happy. While we are Tech students, we are also campus customers. In this sense, we have the right and obligation to voice our concerns as things grow.

While I have only heard minor mumbles and grumbles in the Rec Center, as student population grows the Rec Center will become even more crowded. Students must remember organizations such as SGA were created to voice their collective opinion, and are in fact capable of making a change.

Because the Rec Center will not be improved anytime soon, I will stick with saying my daily prayers before going there. I pray for a decent parking spot, and for protection in the gauntlet of swinging weights and jam-packed body builders that is the weightlifting room. I pray that I can do my workout routine without any major deviations, and that perhaps I can finally see the mythical sixpack I have been working so hard for. So far my prayers are rarely answered, but until plans are made for a Rec Center expansion, I will keep on praying.

Tech travels to conference tournament

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

FILE PHOTO/The Daily Toreador

TEXAS TECH FORWARD Zach Smith tries to block Oklahoma State guard/forward Le’Bryan Nash layup during the second half Feb. 28 in the United Supermarkets Arena. Texas Tech defeated Oklahoma State 63-62.

Track↵

The Texas Tech men’s basketball team enters its final stretch of the season as the Red Raiders travel to Kansas City, Missouri, to face the Texas Longhorns in the first round of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Sprint Center.

Tech’s 2014-2015 regular season came to an end versus the Baylor Bears in a 77-74 away loss at Waco in the Ferrell Center despite a career-high game from junior guard Devaugntah Williams who scored 28 points off 8 of 9 shooting.

In its loss to Baylor, the Red Raiders led by as many as 12 points with 13 minutes left in the second half, but the Bears cut away at their deficit with a 15-4 run and trailed Tech 55-54 with nine minutes left in the game.

Tech held the Bears off until the game came down to its final three minutes. Once the Bears broke a 6565 tie with a 3-pointer from senior forward Royce O’Neale, the Bears kept Tech behind on the scoreboard and Tech ended its conference road schedule with a 0-9 record.

With a close call in Waco, Williams said the team needs to find a way to close out games heading into the tournament.

“We definitely feel like we can play with anybody,” Williams said.

“We just got to work on closing the games out. We should have closed the Baylor game.”

Outside its home court in the United Supermarkets Arena, Tech

ended its season with a 0-12 away record, a 13-18 overall record and a 3-15 conference record.

In its two meetings versus the Longhorns, Tech lost 70-61 at home and 56-41 at Austin in the Frank Erwin Center.

Tech coach Tubby Smith said the tournament presents the players with a brand new season to compete in.

“It’s a new opportunity, another chance to make amends for our play during the season,” Smith said.

“That’s the attitude I’m taking, and I’m expecting to compete for a Big 12 (Conference) tournament championship.”

In 17 of its last 19 tournament appearances, Tech exited in the first round. The Red Raiders last defeated a first-round tournament opponent in 2013 when Tech edged out West Virginia 71-69.

The Longhorns, who finished the season with a 19-12 overall record and a 8-10 Big 12 record, enter the Big 12 tournament as the only team with a two-game winning streak after picking up wins over Baylor and Kansas State.

After ending the season with a losing record, freshman forward Zach Smith said the team feels stronger in its play.

“I feel like we’re less timid trying to knock down shots because we really have nothing to lose,” Smith said. “If we make them, they can do nothing else but benefit the team.”

The winner of the matchup between Tech and the Longhorns moves on to face the No. 2 seed Iowa State in the quarterfinals. ➤➤@DGaytanDT

Jones acknowledges regret over Super Bowl seating

DALLAS (AP) — Called into a courtroom to testify, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sparred Tuesday with an attorney for fans suing the NFL over a seating mess at the 2011 Super Bowl in his billion-dollar showplace stadium while acknowledging regret that some ticket-holders didn’t have a place to sit.

Jones testified for about 2 1/2 hours Tuesday, the highlight of a federal trial made a little more dramatic by several terse exchanges between the talkative owner and plaintiffs’ attorney Michael Avenatti.
