Tech programs ranked in top 100 in United States The 2015 U.S. News & World Report Graduate School Rankings has listed several Texas Tech programs among the top 100 in the country, according to a Tech news release.

The Rawls College of Business Administration was ranked No. 87 among Best Business Schools and the Whitacre College of Engineering was listed No. 94 among Best Engineering Schools, according to the release.

“This is a testament to the hard work and dedication to excellence that our faculty and staff have given to help the college achieve its goals and full potential,” Lance Nail, dean of the college, said in a statement. “This ranking reflects that others recognize our commitment to excellence in graduate business education.”

Additionally, the engineering disciplines of computer, mechanical, electrical, electronic and communications, industrial, manufacturing and systems, chemical, and civil received a top-100 ranking.

The College of Business’s parttime MBA program ranked No. 154, and the School of Law ranked No. 107 and placed on the Most Diverse Law Schools list.

The Earth Sciences graduate program was ranked at No. 88, according to the release.

Tech officials are proud of Tech’s placement on the list, Chancellor Kent Hance said in the release, and that the ranking will assist in the growth of graduate programs.

“Our accomplishments at the Rawls College of Business and the Whitacre College of Engineering are evidence of the great work our administration, faculty and staff are doing to educate our students to become leaders and innovators in the workplace,” Tech President M. Duane Nellis said.

Tuition, fees increase for next year

graduate student from Texas or an out-of-state bordering county of Texas paid an estimated $9,242 in tuition and fees, according to the Financial Aid website.

Last year, Tech implemented a HANCE freeze in tuition, meaning the cost of attendance did not increase from the previous academic year for students.

“After holding tuition and fees flat last year, we requested the modest increase to allow us the resources needed to invest in our outstanding faculty and staff and continue the quality

The Texas Tech System Board of Regents approved an increase in tuition and fees for the 2014-15 academic year Tuesday.

During a conference call, the Board of Regents approved a 3.95 percent net increase in costs, according to a Tech news release. For a student taking 15 credit hours, there will be an estimated additional cost of $182.75.

“In comparison to our peers, the cost of receiving an education at Texas Tech remains among the most affordable,” Chancellor Kent Hance said in a statement. “This slight increase will help support our dedicated faculty and staff and strengthen the overall academic and college experience at Texas Tech.”

For the 2013-14 school year, an under-

education and college experience our students expect,” Tech President M. Duane Nellis said in the release. “As we become more AAU-like, investments in our infrastructure and ensuring we retain our faculty and offer competitive salaries are important.”

Despite the increased estimated total cost of $9,607.60 for the 2014-15 school year, tuition and fees at Tech will rank third lowest in the state among nine peer institutions, according to the release. Tech will also rank third lowest in the Big 12 Conference for tuition and fees, according to the release.

Tech was recently listed as the only Texas school on Kiplinger Personal Finance’s “25 Best College Values Under $30,000/Year,” a list of the nation’s best value for the lowest tuition rate and debt, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador.

“I guess the raise will improve the campus,” Eric Luna, a freshman project management major from Sugar Land, said. “I just don’t really have a problem with the way it is right now.”

Incoming undergraduate students have the option to enroll in a fixed tuition-only plan, according to the release. The Board of Regents approved a plan that will freeze designated tuition for four years.

However, participating students must graduate within the designated 12 semesters to maintain the original cost, according to the release.

“I don’t think the increase is unreasonable,” Megan McMillian, a freshman pre-pharmacy tracked student from Albuquerque, N.M., said.

“They’re not asking for too much. They haven’t increased tuition in four semesters, so it’s time.”

One in every four college students will contract a sexually transmitted infection by their graduation date, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

STIs can become sexually transmitted diseases over time, according to the website.

Corey Velasquez, a junior electronic media and communications major from Crosbyton, is the president of Impact Tech, a student organization focused on educating the Texas Tech and Lubbock community about sexual health and other health issues a person might encounter.

One of the problems regarding sexual health is the reptuation associated with being tested for STIs, Velazquez said.

“The big issue of there being this stigma and shame coming from actually getting tested for STIs is the fact that it’s being encouraged greatly now for people to get tested twice a year,” he said. “Even if you have one sexual partner, there is still a possibility your sexual partner has had another partner and you’ve been exposed to an STI.” Bacterial STIs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis can be treated and cured with medicine such as antibiotics, according to the website. STIs such as HIV, herpes and HPV can only be treated, not cured.

Dr. Kelly Bennet, the medical director at the Student Wellness Center, said the most common STI at Tech and in the nation is the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

“Fifty percent of sexually active people have been exposed to the HPV virus,” she said. “It’s what we call ubiquitous.”

There are various types of HPV, according to the CDC website.

“Some strains just cause warts that don’t harm you, they’re just cosmetically unattractive,” Bennet said.

“Some strains can cause cervical cancer, penile cancer and anal cancer.”

Although HPV is the most prevalent and most common STI, it is easily preventable, Velazquez said.

“Females are encouraged to take the Gardasil series of shots to prevent HPV, and males are encouraged to take it as well,” he said.

If a student is diagnosed with HPV, the Student Wellness Center can provide treatment and medicine for it and a variety of other STIs. NUMBERS continued on Page 2 ➤➤

Texas Tech will test its TechAlert emergency communications system and sirens at 10:30 a.m. today.

“We try to test them before severe weather season really gets started, and this was a date we selected to test both outdoor sirens and the TechAlert system,” Ronald Phillips, who serves as University Counsel at Texas Tech, said. “The indoor sirens are tested in the early spring right before severe weather season begins.”

According to TechAnnounce, the audio sirens will sound for approximately

ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

one minute. Students can expect to hear them anywhere throughout campus.

The sirens’ testing will serve as a scheduled maintenance test as well as a guide of protocol for students to follow in the case of a natural disaster.

In addition to the TechAlert emergency communication system and sirens, students can stay informed throughout the process of an emergency by logging on to emergency.ttu.edu.

Every faculty member, staff member and student is advised to update their cell phone, home phone and text message information to the website in order to receive information regarding class cancellations, class delays or disaster

situations, according to TechAnnounce.

Students may also access Texas Tech Today, as well as Tech’s official Facebook and Twitter profiles, to receive immediate information on the crisis as well as further instruction on how to respond, according to TechAnnounce.

Steven Hinkle, administrative captain of the Texas Tech Police Department, said tests will occur in order to make sure the systems work in case of a tornado.

“They only test the system twice a year,” he said. “They test both the tornado sirens and the TechAlert simultaneously and they will start around 10:30 a.m.”

The Tech Police Department will

FAX: 806-742-2434

activate the outdoor sirens in order to ensure the safety of students and faculty in the event of a tornado, Hinkle said.

In the occurrence of a tornado, everyone should seek immediate shelter and locate a safe area.

Although the event of a tornado may seem unlikely, Lubbock has experienced severe weather in the past, he said. The Lubbock tornado of 1970 serves as a reminder that these situations do occur.

Because of this, Tech continues to provide students, staff and faculty scheduled maintenance tests in order to ensure a quality system in the event of an emergency, Phillips said. ➤➤tmabry@dailytoreador.com

In this ever-quickening world, things seem to happen faster and computer researchers comply with the push to make technologies faster and more efficient.

Nelson Rushton, an associate professor of computer science, has contributed to this push with his discovery of SequenceL programming language.

“SequenceL is useful for rapid, reliable development of software, so when we started our research, it meant it would be used for NASA supercomputers,” he said. “Today its uses probably include your cell phone if you bought it recently.”

Rushton said his goals for the language are to enable programmers to create greater software that is more reliable, higher performing and developed more quickly, for less cost.

The language, he said, is comparable to more widely known programming languages such as Java and C++.

“This technology took 20 years for myself, Dr. Dan Cooke and Dr. Brad Nemanich to develop,” he said. “In hindsight, we were able to discover it because of our persistence, flexibility and love of simplicity.”

The technology is now being used at places other than NASA and was licensed to a start-up company called Texas Multicore Technologies, Inc., Ryan Reber, unit manager for the Texas Tech University System office of technology and commercialization, said.

This company uses SequenceL technology to make systems that are easier for developers and programmers to use, according to the Texas Multicore Technologies, Inc. website.

“Their software allows for parallel processing of information,” he said, “which ultimately leads to faster programming of applications and software.”

NELSON RUSHTON CREATED Sequence L, a computer programming software that is more reliable, higher performing and less costly. The program was originally made for NASA but is now under a commercial company.

This new company will help change the programming from a basic technology that has been discovered, Rushton said, to a usable product that can go to market.

“It is like the difference between discovering the basic formula for Gatorade,” he said, “and making a Gatorade factory that runs at a profit and passes inspection by the FDA.” With all the time spent researching and experimenting, Rushton said there were many challenges he and the others who worked on the project experienced often.

He said the biggest challenge was to

“One of the biggest myths you can always find is Raider Rash,” Velazquez said. “People believe CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 that Texas Tech has its own STI, Results for an STI test will which is not true.

“When we were still in the experimental stages, government agencies outside of NASA were not very interested in what we were doing,” he said. “We needed federal funding. Some people today think that if you aren’t bringing in revenue, you aren’t a good scientist and we had to work against that.”

While the technology has been invented and licensed to another company, there are still other outlets to pursue, Rushton said.

This technology has the possibility to have contracted an STI and are having a hard time coping with it, Velazquez said.

“A lot of times students might find themselves in a situation where they have an STI and they might want to seek counseling,” he said.

“The counseling center provides two free sessions, which is part of your fees and tuition.”

Students can prevent the spread of STIs by practicing abstinence, contacting their previous sexual partners if they have contracted an STI, getting tested and using contraception.

“If your car cuts off for no reason, freezes up, or does something unexpected, it’s a surprise and you have it looked into,” he said. “If your software does that, it’s no surprise and that’s just life — for now. I hope to change that.”

Rushton said he didn’t start out in computer engineering to find a new computer language.

“I did want to uncover the deepest general truths about computation as a realm of nature,” he said, “but I also really wanted to make video games.” ➤➤kbain@dailytoreador.com

Tuition↵

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

In addition to increased tuition and fees for undergraduate students, Tech Health Sciences Center will face increased costs of attendance, according to an HSC news release.

The increase in tuition and fees will be used for operating expenses, to recruit and retain faculty and staff and for student financial aid, according to the release.

“We are proud of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center’s record of providing excellent training for future health care professionals for Texas and the rest of the country,” TTUHSC President Tedd L. Mitchell said in the release. “Even with this increase, tuition rates at TTUHSC remain competitive with other nursing, medical, allied health sciences, biomedical sciences and pharmacy programs throughout the state.”

Increased tuition costs for HSC students will depend on their health care discipline, according to the release.

For students in the School of Allied Health Sciences, the HSC School of Nursing and the Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing, tuition will increase from $125 to $130 per semester credit hour. Tuition for students in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences will increase from $80 to $85 per semester credit hour.

Tuition will increase from $175 to $185 per semester credit hour for School of Pharmacy students. Students enrolled in the HSC School of Medicine and the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine will have a new annual rate of $8,000, while the annual rate was previously $7,500.

With undergraduate students facing an additional $365.50 for a 30-hour academic year beginning this fall, the increase is an “essential variable” for the university and its future, Nellis said in the release.

“An education at Texas Tech continues to be an affordable option for students and their families,” Nellis said in the release. “Today’s approval by the board will further strengthen the academic experience for our students.” ➤➤acunningham@dailytoreador.com

Dust storm cuts Tech baseball game short SportS Editor

Although the game was called with two and a half inning left to play due because of a wind storm and a fog of dirt on the field, the Red Raiders were able to get on the board early and hold on to their lead to beat Abilene Christian, 6-2.

Texas Tech freshman centerfielder Stephen Smith lead off the game for the Red Raiders and singled past the shortstop. It is the sixth straight game he has reached base safely in his opening at-bat.

Sophomore infielder Alec Humphreys batted second in the game, behind Smith, and said it is a lot easier on him when Smith is able to get on base in the first at-bat.

“Stephen, he knows the zone really well,” Humphreys said. “He’s been swinging at good pitches and taking the tough ones.

Smith went on to score, as did the next four Red Raiders wh came up to bat in the bottom of the first, giving freshman starting pitcher Dylan Dusek an early lead to work with.

In his five innings pitched, Dusek gave up only one run on four hits with four strikeouts. He also issued his first walk as a Red

Friend: Pistorius fired guns in public PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius fired guns in public in the months before he killed his girlfriend — once out of a car sunroof on a road and once in a crowded restaurant, a onetime friend said at the athlete’s murder trial Tuesday, drawing an aggressive effort from the chief

defense lawyer to pick holes in his testimony.

The account by Darren Fresco portrayed Pistorius as a reckless hothead infatuated with firearms and seemingly drifting down a precarious path before he fatally shot Reeva Steenkamp through a closed toilet door at his home

before dawn on Feb. 14, 2013.

Fresco’s description of how Pistorius once berated a police officer fit the prosecution’s attempts to cast the doubleamputee athlete as prone to flashes of anger and blinded by an inflated sense of entitlement at a time when his public image

was that of a clean-cut poster boy for overcoming adversity.

“I said to him, are you (expletive) mad?” Fresco testified after, he said, Pistorius fired his gun out of the sunroof of the car later on the same day that he had the dispute with the police officer. “He just laughed.”

Lady Raiders rise before indoor championships The Texas Tech women’s track and field team experienced a fourspot ascension to No. 15, according to the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association computer rankings.

While the Tech women found themselves higher in the rankings, the Tech track and field men’s team remained at No. 24.

The idleness in the rankings for the Red Raiders does not mean none of their athletes are going to Albuquerque, N.M., for the 2014 NCAA Indoor Championships.

Three athletes are scheduled to compete at the indoor championships this weekend, according to a

news release from Tech athletics.

The trio of Red Raiders to represent Tech includes a couple of high jumpers, sophomore jumper Bradley Adkins and junior jumper JaCorian Duffield, and junior thrower Kole Weldon. Adkins’ and Duffield’s presence at the indoor championships makes Tech the only university with two high jumpers competing in Albuquerque, according to the release.

A larger contingent of Lady Raiders is set to compete at the indoor championships. The Lady Raiders’ 4x400 relay team consisting of senior sprinter Amoy Blake, junior sprinter Christen Rivers, junior sprinter Montenae Roye-Speight

and junior sprinter Cierra White, headline the group.

Currently, the women’s relay team is ranked No. 3 in school history and No. 8 nationally because of its season-best time of 3:34.08 minutes, according to the release.

White is not only appearing in the women’s 4x400 relay. She is also qualified for the 200-meter dash.

White is not the only Lady Raider to participate in an event other than the women’s 4x400 relay.

Sophomore hurdler/sprinter

Le’Tristan Pledger is set to compete in the long jump and 60-meter hurdles. Pledger will not be alone in the long jump because sophomore pentathlete Shanice Stewart qualified for the event with her seasonbest distance of 20 feet 8 inches.

$2,500 in Scholarships Available For Graduate and Undergraduate Students Academic Freedom Scholarship Application Form

The Texas Tech Faculty Legal Action Assocation (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 tution 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 bibliogrphy at the end. The double-spaced pages of the essay itself-submitted in three copies by Friday, April 11, 2014.

A facuty committee will judge the essays. The TTFLAA reserves the right ot 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 25, 2014.

SAT overhaul necessary to improve test, help students Logan Lane

examination was administered.

The College Board’s website explains that this was a way for students to take one entrance exam that applied to several universities, rather than taking a separate exam for each school they applied to. Later, in 1926, the SAT as we know it was created.

Since its incarnation, the SAT has undergone multiple changes, and the newest changes set to take place in 2016 will be the second renovation of the exam in the past decade. In 2005 the SAT introduced the essay portion of the exam, raising the overall possible score from 1,600 to 2,400.

While the SAT’s essay portion has faced many criticisms since its introduction, Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s director of writing Les Perelman has been conducting some research on its “fairness” ever since its introduction.

According to an interview with The New York Times, Perel-

man had been researching the absurdities to the way the essay questions were formulated and scored. Some of his research showed that the length of the essay had more of an effect on the final score than any other factor.

In his research, Perelman discovered that details and length determined the student’s final score, while factual accuracy didn’t. “You can tell them the War of 1812 began in 1945,” he said, but as long as you sprinkled in seldom used and fancy words and some preselected quotes from prominent historical figures, you would score higher.

After reading about Perelman’s research findings in The New York Times, the president of the College Board, David Coleman, decided to reach out to the M.I.T. scholar.

As pointed out in the Times article, Perelman told the president of the College Board that he didn’t directly oppose the inclusion of an essay portion in the SAT, but he felt that it needed

“

to be redone in terms of the questions asked and way it was scored.

“When is there a situation in either college or life when you’re asked to write on demand about something you’ve never once thought about?” Perelman asked.

He continued, “I’ve never gotten an email from a boss saying: ‘is failure necessary for success? Get back to me in 25 minutes.’ But that’s what the SAT does.”

As a result of the SAT’s formulation of essay questions, tutors have resulted to teaching their students to create and memorize an all-purpose essay. However, Perelman was not the only one who felt the test needed to change.

Teachers, parents, university presidents, admissions officers, high school counselors and the students were all unhappy with the test.

High school students, already faced with the anxiety of graduation and beginning a huge step in their lives, felt the SAT tried to play clever tricks on them. Many

This is not, however, a comfort shared by graduating high school seniors whose future can be determined by a single standardized test, which is only one of the many reasons why the College Board is overhauling the SAT. The Scholastic Aptitude Test, otherwise known as the SAT, is an exam administered by the nonprofit College Board organization. According to the organization’s website, “The College Board is a mission-driven not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity.”

In the late 1800s, a group of leading U.S. universities wanted to create a universal way to determine whether or not students were prepared for college-level course work. This eventually led to the formation of the College Entrance Examination Board, and in 1901 the first standardized entrance

felt the test asked questions that were rarely, if ever, encountered in their high school courses.

The test also forced students to perform time-consuming risk analysis by docking them one full point for a missed multiple choice answer, but only a quarter of a point if they skipped the question.

Another factor playing into a student’s level of success on the SAT is their family’s socioeconomic standing. A paper written

by Derek Briggs, the chairman of the Research and Evaluation Methodology program at the University of Colorado Boulder, emphasized this concern shared by critics of the SAT. Briggs outlined additional costs beyond that of personal tutors and other test prep outlets.

He called this the opportunity cost of the test, with The New York Times explaining, “The time spent in the narrow pursuit of beating the test meant time away from schoolwork and extracurricular activities that are actually designed to prepare students to succeed in college.”

One of the most encouraging things about this overhaul of the SAT is that Coleman has made an effort to hear out the test’s critics. He has actively reached out to scholars, research scientists

and everyday folk in general in order to reformulate the test in a way that will provide a fairer and more realistic image of the high school student.

Although Coleman does have some critics, especially those who point out the changes he’s making to the test are happening too quickly and without enough credence, he stands behind the Board and the changes 100 percent. “If you’ve been diligent in gathering and supporting facts,” he said, “then that is your defense against the hubris and wrong thinking.”

Coleman has shown a clear understanding of what’s at stake, explaining that the revisions made to the test aren’t just about fairness and usefulness, but our nation’s ability to provide opportunity for every student.

Only time will tell if these changes have much of an impact on the landscape of university student bodies across the country, but we should all feel confident in the man at the helm of these changes because he has expressed an overwhelming interest in universally improving the nature of the SAT.

Daylight Savings Time Cold War never ended, Russia still adversary benefits everyday life

By CORBIN BROWN

the oklahoma DaIly (U. oklahoma)

By ALEXANDER MAXWELL Iowa State DaIly (Iowa State U.)

EDITORIAL BOARD

Daylight saving time started March 9, allowing us to enact a long-cherished tradition that many people anxiously anticipate each spring. At the end of every winter, we show our reverence and devotion to the sun by setting all of our clocks, watches, alarms and microwaves one hour in advance. Though some people shamefully forget and end up being late at the beginning of this week, most reasonable people should be able to agree that observing daylight saving time is beneficial to everyone and everything.

Changing our time based upon the season was initially proposed by Benjamin Franklin as a joke in a satirical 1784 essay as a way to save candle wax. Like most satire, it was useless and forgettable.

Daylight savings time as we know it is actually the brainchild of a wise Englishman named William Willett in a 1907 essay entitled “Waste of Daylight.” He knew that we should be taking some of the “wasted daylight” from the beginning of the day when no one was enjoying it and add it to the end when everyone could use it. Additionally, he stated that it is very annoying to be woken up by the rising sun, and that such issues cannot be solved by just waking up earlier.

Willett was wise before his time, and it took some years for his idea to actually come into use. At the beginning of the 20th century, Germany was a leader in taking bold actions. Accordingly, it was the first nation to enact daylight saving time in 1916. With Germany as a role model, the United Kingdom and the United States shortly followed. There have been a few inconsistencies since then, but eventually the system we use today was created and is now loved by practically everyone.

Though daylight saving time is used in various parts of the world, some people question the benefits of it. There are

Editor-in-Chief Kassidy Ketron editor@dailytoreador.com Managing Editor Chantal Espinoza managing@dailytoreador.com News Editor Carson Wilson news@dailytoreador.com La Vida Editor Liana Solis features@dailytoreador.com Opinions Editor Andrew Gleinser opinions@dailytoreador.com Sports Editor Everett Corder sports@dailytoreador.com

even some extremists who argue that its practice should be abolished. Here in the United States, Arizona — still commonly considered to be the lawless Wild West — has not yet created laws that require its use. Hawaii is also apparently unaware that daylight saving time is seriously convenient and should be vigorously enforced upon everyone.

Despite the failure of these governments to force their citizens to use daylight saving time, most of us in the United States are fortunate enough to experience the benefits of its practice throughout the year. Though it does not really save any energy, and is not actually useful to farmers, it surely gives us more fresh sunshine to enjoy. Sunlight makes us simply be better people, act less lazy and feel prettier. When it’s light outside, we do more of the things we enjoy; things like cranking up our air conditioner or taking a nice, long drive to go get snow cones.

As humans, we are obviously aware of the way time works. When we manipulate it twice a year by altering the structure of the universe, all other living things remain clueless, giving us an advantage. Daylight saving time also forces the sun to get up earlier for part of the year, which ensures it does not go into solar hibernation. Finally, and most amazingly, it allows us to travel through time. In the fall, we literally go back to 2:00 a.m. — an hour after it already occurred. Simply astounding.

Daylight saving time is something everyone can look forward to; we all enjoy “springing forward” during this time of year and then laughing at the people who forgot to set their alarms and show up late. Honestly, it is a shame that we only get to observe the wondrous creation of daylight saving time twice a year. In the end, changing our clocks is not only a sign that summer is coming, but it is also truly a sign of the progress we have made as a human race.

In 2012, during the third presidential debate, Obama derided Romney’s foreign policy platform with his statement, “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”

Quite the contrary. Call it what you will, the Cold War has existed in some form or another since the 1940s.

Claims that the Cold War ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall are analogous to statements that the Korean War ended with the 1953 armistice. Hostilities still exist between their respective participants.

During the Putin and Medvedev administrations, the Russian government has displayed many of the expansionist tendencies that characterized the Soviet Union from its sponsorship of authoritarian regimes in the Middle East to its invasions of sovereign nations in Eastern Europe.

Russia’s recent offensive in Crimea is simply the latest in a long list of egregious actions. A 2013 U.S. State Department’s

by Ukraine of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.”

In January, U.S. officials informed NATO members that Russia may have violated the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, signed in 1987, by testing a new ground-launched cruise missile. Russia is proceeding with former defense minister Sergei Ivanov’s suggestion to George W. Bush that the two nations abandon the treaty.

This kind of behavior should be expected from Vladimir Putin, a former KGB agent who, quite literally, defended the Soviet Union to the end. Putin was stationed in Dresden when the Berlin Wall fell. While facing down crowds seeking to loot the local KGB offices, he declared, “This is Soviet territory and you’re standing on our border. I’m serious when I say that I will shoot trespassers.”

In 2005, Putin described the collapse of the U.S.S.R. as the “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.”

Many commentators consider Putin to be a follower of Eurasianism, a grotesque combination of Nazism, communism and “Mother Russianism.” Stated

generally, this ideology pits Western liberalism against Russian imperialism and traditionalism.

The leader of the Eurasianist movement is political theorist Aleksandr Dugin, who has called for the “strategic control of the USA, and the refusal to allow liberal values to dominate [Russia].”

If the Russian president is truly a follower of Eurasianism, his machinations can be somewhat anticipated. The underlying Russian desire to regain territory lost when the U.S.S.R. was disbanded help drive Putin’s policies. Western democracies must act accordingly, whether through economic and financial sanctions, stronger treaty enforcement, covert action or military engagement, if all other options have been exhausted.

Our current policies have let Putin trample on neighboring states, ignore international agreements and violate human rights. Considering the dictatorial and expansionist propensities of the Russian government, a more aggressive U.S. foreign policy, similar to that established in the 1980s, may prove essential to the peace and stability of Eastern Europe and much of the world.

Cooking food from scratch offers better nutrition, health

If anyone knows me at all, they would know that I love to bake. My weekends are spent baking breads, muffins, cakes, cupcakes and, most importantly, cookies. All are always made from scratch.

When made from scratch, baked goods, and food in general, are better for people. Now, please understand I am not advocating going vegetarian, vegan or even encouraging people to eat healthier. What should be encouraged is eating at restaurants less, and cooking at home more.

report lists a number of the Russian government’s human rights violations.

Among these are “restrictions of civil liberties” and “discrimination against racial, ethnic, religious and sexual minorities.”

The report references two laws signed

by Putin that prohibit “the distribution of material that promotes nontraditional sexual relationships to minors” and the “intentional or public offending of religious sentiments.” Numerous other pieces of legislation centered on the suppression of Putin’s political opponents also exist.

In addition to demonstrating a scorn for human rights, Russia has violated the terms of several treaties. Russia’s invasion of Crimea serves as a violation of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. This treaty states that its signatories, the U.S., Russia and the U.K., must respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

The economic sanctions Putin has threatened Ukraine with likely violate the memorandum’s fourth section, which says that signatories must “refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise

If you don’t eat bread or live gluten-free, that’s cool. Chicken, both packaged in a store and bought at a restaurant, is another offender containing high amounts of sodium. According to a Huffington Post article from April 13, 4 ounces of boneless, skinless chicken breast can range from 40-300 milligrams of sodium. This is minimal compared to eating chicken from a restaurant. Three ounces of breaded chicken from a restaurant could contain anywhere from 430-900 milligrams of sodium.

While the sodium is said to be used to preserve the juiciness or taste of the chicken, it is significantly healthier to eat chicken that is cooked at home.

When the chicken is made at home, without any added salt or marinade, it can contain less than a teaspoon of sodium. That’s next to nothing compared to the content of restaurant chicken.

Common prepackaged foods found at grocery stores may place the value of convenience over nutrition and health effects. Premade pancake and waffle mix may be popular for those with on-the-go lifestyles, but the nutritional value of Bisquick pancake and waffle

mix lists 390 milligrams of sodium.

One can alternatively make pancakes from scratch, without adding salt and without losing flavor.

Everything you eat can affect your health, and as such it is critical to look at what you’re consuming; to see and analyze what is being put into our bodies. It is more than worth it to spend the extra time to make food from scratch or at home, than to buy it prepackaged at a store or from a restaurant. So be critical of what you are consuming. Sparing the extra time to cook a meal or dessert is more than worth the health benefits it can bring to your life.

Texas Tech set to play Okla. State in Big 12 Conference tournament

By REX ROSE Staff Writer

The Texas Tech men’s basketball team plays the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament at 6 p.m. today in the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. Although Tech goes into the tournament as the No. 9 seed, Red Raider junior guard Robert Turner said the team is confident it can be playing in the conference championship game Saturday.

“That’s our mindset right now,” he said. “We’re going in to win this whole thing. We know there’s a lot of basketball to play and we want to be in that contest to keep playing basketball. Our season’s on the line, their season’s on the line.

The intensity level is up and you got to leave everything on the floor now.”

The Red Raiders look to carry the momentum of their 59-53 win against the Texas Longhorns on Saturday, which snapped a six-game losing streak.

Tech beat Oklahoma State 65-61 when the two schools first met this season Feb. 8 in the United Spirit Arena, but the Cowboys split the series by beating the Red Raiders 84-62 Feb. 22 on their home court at Stillwater, Okla.

“We already know that we can beat them,” Red Raider senior forward Jaye Crockett said. “We beat them before, but we slipped up at their home. Seeing how this is a neutral site, I think that we have a better opportunity to come and beat them and we’re just going to take the momentum from our last game against Texas to try and get this win.”

According to a Tech news release, the Cowboys have won all three previous first-round meetings between the schools.

Crockett said he is starting to realize his time as a Red Raider is limited, but he thinks Tech can make a good run in the tournament.

“You just have to leave your all on the court,” he said. “This is real right now, we only have one game and we’re out if we lose. You don’t have opportunities to make it up like we did earlier in the season. This is a new season for us. It’s a game of runs, it’s whoever is hot at the time and we just have to make sure that we come in and have some good energy from the beginning and get this win.”

Crockett was recently selected to the All Big 12 Conference third team and was the first Red Raider to be honored since Martin Zeno in 2008.

“I’m real proud of him for making the third team All Big 12,” Tech coach Tubby Smith said. “Those types of honors are well deserved and well earned.”

Oklahoma State sophomore guard Marcus Smart also earned conference honors as he was named to the All-Big 12 first team and All-Big 12 Defensive Team.

Smith said containing Smart is a challenge because he can have an impact on the game from both sides of the ball.

OKLAHOMA STATE’S MARKEL Brown tries to push through Texas Tech’s Aaron Ross in Feb. 8 at the United Spirit Arena. The Red Raiders will face the Cowboys again during the first round of the Big 12 Championships tonight in Kansas City, Mo. at 6 p.m.

“You’ve got to go in every game prepared,” he said. “Certainly Marcus Smart is as gifted a player there is in this league and in the country. He was the difference maker in Stillwater. He can control the game in a lot of ways with his defensive presence.”

Although Tech has struggled in closing out games and went 1-6 in its last seven games, Smith said going into the tournament after a win is huge for his players’ confidence.

“We finally found a way to win a close game the other day against Texas,” he said. “That is something that we can really build on. Now it’s a matter of everybody buying in and everybody raising their level of play because at this point and time, that’s what it’s about.

“This is the fun part to be honest with you. This is the time you want to be playing your best and obviously I thought we put together our best game in seven outings. Having said that, that makes me believe that we can go into this tournament and compete.”

The winner of tonight’s game will

play the No. 1 seed Kansas Jayhawks in the quarterfinals matchup at 2 p.m.

Thursday with the semifinal game taking place at 6 p.m. Friday and the championship game at 8 p.m. Saturday.

Crockett said he fully expects Tech to be playing on the final day.

“We’re going into this tournament to

win the whole thing,” he said. “We don’t want to win a game or win two games — we want to win the whole tournament.

We’ve had a lot of close games this year, and this is the time where we can make up for the losses we had to try and get in to postseason play.” ➤➤rrose@dailytoreador.com

in the history of your franchise, is extremely difficult,” Jones, also the team’s general manager, said in a statement announcing the decision just as free agency opened. “We were also in very strong agreement that playing for the Dallas Cowboys would be one of the options we would both be exploring.”

Still, Ware has likely played his last down for an owner who always had a tough time letting aging superstars go.

Without Ware and with 2013 team sacks leader Jason Hatcher already headed for free agency, all the projected starters from a year ago are gone from a defense that gave up the most yards in franchise history and finished last in the league in total defense. Rod Marinelli is taking over for the demoted Monte Kiffin as defensive coordinator after both joined the staff last year. Marinelli was in charge of the injury-riddled front last season.

IRVING (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys are moving on without franchise sacks leader DeMarcus Ware.

Now they have to figure out how to rebuild their defensive line.

The Cowboys released Ware on Tuesday, a salary cap move that owner Jerry Jones called “extremely difficult” after the worst season of the star pass rusher’s career. Ware broke Harvey Martin’s 30-year-old franchise record for sacks in 2013, but got to the quarterback a careerlow six times and missed games for the first time in his nine-year career with a thigh injury.

The 31-year-old Ware also had offseason elbow surgery and was set to count $16 million against the salary cup. Negotiations on a reduced salary failed, so his release saves about $7.4 million and gives Dallas about $9 million to spend at the moment.
