College begins fundraising for honors scholarships

T

exas Tech’s Honors College has begun a campaign named Be a Brick In Our Future to raise money for student scholarships within the college.

Michael San Francisco, dean of the Honors College, said the fundraiser began within the past few weeks and will last until the overall goal is reached.

San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he saw the progress of the new Honors College residence hall and began to wonder how many masonry units would go into it. The residence hall will be located near the heart of campus and opened by fall 2017, according to an Honors College newsletter.

There will be four floors, 310 beds, learning communities on each floor, a coffee shop and an integrated room, he said. He knew the number of bricks would be sizeable.

“I contacted the people in charge of building the building,” San Francisco said. “It turns out

that number is 190,000 bricks. So, I asked myself ‘Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could do a fundraiser with that?’”

The idea of the fundraiser is for each donor to pay $10 for a brick and by the end, there will be $1.9 million raised for student scholarships. While the donors’ names will not be engraved on the bricks, there are plans to recognize the donors in some way, he said.

“We’re trying to encourage everyone who is interested in the Honors College and the greater mission to partake in it,” San Francisco said. “It gives everybody a stake in the structure.”

The key is for students to get into the philosophy of giving, he said. It becomes even more meaningful because the funds are going toward future Tech students in the Honors College.

“It’s to pay it forward, now,” San Francisco said.

Festival gives opportunity to showcase work

Tech lowers flag in memory of Tech student, DT columnist

By DAVID GAY L a Vida Editor

There are many types of art, and artists use music, painting, plays and various visual aspects to give meaning to a situation or something they may be going through. The High Plains Print+Music Festival provides an opportunity to artists around Texas and the nation to show the importance of art to people from West Texas.

According to its website, the High Plains Print+Music Festival is a new festival that will showcase the art of contemporary printmakers and musicians from around the country.

The festival will take place from 6–10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday in the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts North Plaza.

Jordann Davis, a co-curator of the festival, said this is an event that will bring together the art scene in Lubbock in a way that has never been done before. Davis met Alberto Careaga, the other co-curator of the festival, when she was in graduate school. They bonded over their appreciation for different forms of art.

“We both love music and visual arts,” Davis said. “It wasn’t that much of a stretch to say, ‘Let’s put them together,’ and do something with that.”

Careaga said Davis’ enthusiasm to put on an event of this magnitude inspired him to be a part of it, as well.

“It’s something that I wanted

to take a part in,” Careaga said.

“My inspiration is Jordann (Davis) having the idea of wanting to do something like this.”

Both Davis and Careaga had connections with the Charles Adams Studio Project, a Lubbockbased nonprofit organization for the arts. Davis said their work with the Charles Adams Studio Project helped them apply for grant-funding from the Texas Commission of the Arts.

After receiving the grant, the idea and dream of the festival became a reality, Davis said.

The High Plains Print+Music Festival is using the facilities of the Charles Adams Studio Project and the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts to showcase the art and music this weekend, Davis said.

To start the process of getting the musical acts of the festival, Davis and Careaga spent weeks listening to hundreds of Texas bands. The goal of the lineup was to be diverse in terms of style and to match the

style of the festival, she said.

“We were creating a kind of playlist, (wanting) to see how it all connects, how it all intertwines and how it flows from beginning to end, day to day,” Careaga said.

“You come to realize that Texas is huge, and the music scene is all over the place and endless. We were going from city to city, not physically, but looking for musicians from different cities and checking them out.”

Chad Plunket, the director of the Charles Adams Studio Project, said he is impressed with the variety of bands coming in for the High Plains Print+Music Festival. “(Davis and Careaga) have really sought out bands that have a different sound to try and give exposure to some local bands that are doing some different things,” Plunket said. “They are also bringing in some bands from outside the Lubbock area so that our Lubbock ears can hear something new.”

Today, Texas Tech will lower the school flag in honor of Tanya Jones, a senior English major from National City, California, according to a memorandum from the Tech Office of the Dean of Students.

The Lubbock Police Department was able to identify 55-year-old Jones as the person killed in a crash on March 12.

The non-traditional student was an Air Force veteran, volunteer, Uber driver and columnist for The Daily Toreador.

Since the crash during spring break, police have arrested and charged Maxwell Ezell, 24, who is listed in the Tech directory as an IT support technician, with intoxicated manslaughter.

The accident, which took place at around 2 a.m. at 19th Street and Kewanee Avenue, is still being investigated, according to an LPD news release.

However, the initial investigation found that Ezell was traveling westbound in the 6200 block of 19th Street when he struck the back of a Mazda traveling west in front of him.

The Mazda, which was being driven by Jones, came to a stop in the 6300 block of 19th St., while Ezell continued to travel, according to the release. While driving, Ezell struck the back of

a Ford pickup truck that was stopped at the northbound stop sign of 1900 Kewanee Ave. It was there poJONES lice were able to catch up to Ezell and arrest him for intoxicated manslaughter, according to the release. Jones was later taken to University Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.

No other injuries were reported.

There were few people around the area who were related to Jones, said Avery Aiken, a sophomore communication studies major from The Woodlands and opinions editor for The DT. Jones also had a knack for her unique writing abilities as she gave a different perspective when she wrote her columns, Aiken said. In her columns, she shared life insight inspired by her long years of experience.

“I know personally, I got to know her. I got to sit down with her and hear a little bit about her life and know it hasn’t been an easy life,” Aiken said.

“I know she had to leave school when she was a lot younger, leave college, and she went to serve in the military.” @MichaelCantuDT

Addiction stigma harmful to person’s recovery

By ZACH SCHROEDER Staff Writer

The social stigma surrounding drug and alcohol addiction is one that has deep roots in American society, George Comiskey, associate director for external relations at the Center for Collegiate Recovery Communities, said.

This can be attributed to the behavior surrounding an addiction, especially alcohol or drugs, which can include missing work and getting in trouble with the law.

Recovery and addiction is individually based and different for everyone. There is no one solution to the problem and that can be a difficult reality for some people, said Andrew Littlefield, assistant professor of psychology, who specializes in substance abuse and addiction.

The social stigma surrounding addiction can be dangerous because people

often avoid admitting their addiction for fear of social judgement.

In 2014, more than 21 million Americans COMISKEY aged 12 and older had a substance use disorder in the previous year, but only 2.5 million received treatments, according to a study by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

Some of these students, when in their addiction, were tearing up their dorm rooms, not showing up for classes, tanking their GPAs and generally causing havoc. So, the challenge lies in going from a place where addiction is stigmatized to a place where recovery is seen as something positive, and students in recovery have a voice on college campuses, Comiskey said.

“It challenges the administration and people who are

Registration opened for Tech to Town This year, the Texas Tech Student Government Association and the Office of the President will host the second Tech to Town event on April 22.

The event is designed as a service project to thank the city of Lubbock for its work around the community, according to a Tech news release. The event focuses on community engagement by volunteering at various sites

around Lubbock.

The last day to register for the event will be April 1, according to www.volunteerlubbock.org.

Comiskey said.

Other challenges include encouraging sobriety in a college environment, where people are just starting to enter the legal drinking age, he said.

“The prevalence of problematic alcohol use, like binge drinking or heavy drinking, peaks around the ages of 18 to 22, in a period called emerging adulthood,” Littlefield said.

This, among other factors, such as moving out of their home, not having parental supervision and the relative lack of responsibility in col-

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Tech President Lawrence Schovanec has promised to support the effort, San Francisco said.

“Our long-term mission is for our students to be better than us,” San Francisco said. “They have to be the solution seekers of the future. Our goals as we work with students in their four years at the university is to harness your energies, your skills and your talents, so you can step out in the world and make things happen.”

Aliza Wong, assistant

lege, contributes to younger people’s engaging in these problematic behaviors, Littlefield said.

Commonly as individuals gets older, they develop personality changes, responsibilities, relationships and a variety of other traits. Because of this, they tend to grow out of an alcohol or drug abuse problem, he said. The worry is that if someone engages in these dangerous behaviors at a young age, he will not have the opportunity to grow out of the abuse or addiction.

“That’s where we come in. That’s where our support system is,” Comiskey said.

“Give them a space, give them a community that they can still have fun with but can do it without drinking and drugs.”

There is also the approach of harm reduction, because it can be difficult to get a college student to stop drinkdean of the Honors College, said one of the major reasons for the big push of “being a brick” is the celebration of the Honors College’s 20th anniversary, which will happen in fall 2018. “ We ar e pl anning a weekend where we will invite all our Honors College community back,” Wong said. “Alumni from up to 20 years ago, faculty members who have taught for us, administrators who have supported us, staff members who have worked for us and anybody who has been involved in the Honors College are invited back

ing. Moreover, that may not be the right approach for that individual, Littlefield said. Harm reduction programs attempt to reduce a participant’s harmful use of alcohol, and the negative consequences and behaviors that can be associated with drinking problematically.

The stigma surrounding addiction and recovery is still prevalent in the United States but has been falling in recent years thanks to the media, Comiskey said.

“Anything that changes in the United States usually has a media component to it,” Comiskey said.

“There has been movies and television shows about people who are addicts and getting into recovery, and many of our big-name stars and high-profile people, politicians, actors and people of all levels of society have come out to say, ‘I am a person in recovery.’”

The Center for Collegiate

Recovery Communities at Texas Tech invests in students and assists them to achieve academic success, to flourish in their recovery, and to succeed in a community of accountability and support, according to its website.

Another on-campus recovery and support option is the Raider Assistance Program, which provides a safe and confidential place for students at Tech to ask questions and raise concerns regarding alcohol and other drugs. According to its website, the Raider Assistance Program provides services such as assessment, education and treatment referral.

“If you have a friend or acquaintance that is in recovery, don’t act like it doesn’t exist or make it the elephant in the room. Give them an outlet where they can have fun that isn’t centered around alcohol or substances,” Littlefield said.

This gives people within the Honors College a way to celebrate its growth over the decades, she said. It will also be a culmination of the relationships built over the last 20 years.

“Our students are absolutely amazing,” Wong said. “They are some of the most curious, most innovative, most giving, most generous, most intelligent people at this university, and we are so lucky to be able to work with them.”

The donors can be anyone who wishes to support the Honors College vision

and mission, she said.

The Honors College administration wants the students to know that they and future generations of students are supported, she said, and buying a brick is a way of showing that support.

“You are ensuring a future for the Honors College,” Wong said, “and you are ensuring the continued commitment to undergraduate education at the Texas Tech Honors College.”

Travel ban fight personal for Hawaii’s ‘scholarly gentleman’ HONOLULU (AP) — Growing up in Washington state, Douglas Chin says he was the stereotypical “smart Chinese kid that got straight As.” His parents taught him not to stick out too much and used to say “don’t poke the lion.”

So when Chin, now the Hawaii attorney general, was deciding on whether to challenge the Trump administration’s latest travel ban, he understood those who said that it wasn’t the state’s fight.

But the Stanford University-educated lawyer stepped into the spotlight, making Hawaii the first state to challenge President Trump’s revised travel ban — and convince a federal judge to temporarily block it before it took effect.

His motivation was personal, he said. Chin said he felt as if he was invisible during his time in an overwhelmingly white suburban Seattle

high school, and wanted to fight for an invisible minority in Hawaii: Muslims.

“It really hits home with me,” he said. “It worries me about this society and what’s happening.”

Before his appointment as attorney general, Chin, 50, was Honolulu’s managing director (who would serve as acting mayor when the mayor was out of town) and a prosecutor. People who know and worked with him say he is nice, smart and a fast walker.

Some, however, criticized him for challenging the travel ban.

“Let’s allow the big states with more resources to fight this issue,” Republican state Rep. Gene Ward said in a statement.

“My sense is that the people of Hawaii would rather see potholes fixed rather than trying to lead the nation against an executive order.”

President of embattled Uber leaves after 6 months on job SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jeff Jones, president of the embattled ride-hailing company Uber, has resigned just six months after taking the job, the company confirmed Sunday.

In a brief statement, Uber didn’t say why Jones left. “We want to thank Jeff for his six months at the company and wish him all the best,” it said.

Jones told the tech blog Recode, which first reported his resignation, that his values didn’t align with Uber’s.

“The beliefs and approach to leadership that have guided my career are inconsistent with what I saw and experienced at Uber, and I can no longer continue as president of the ride sharing business,” he said in a statement.

Jones is the latest of several high-level executives to leave the San Franciscobased company.

Last month, a top en-

gineering executive, Amit Singhal, left Uber five weeks after his hire was announced.

He allegedly failed to disclose that he’d left his previous job at Google because of a sexual harassment allegation.

Ed Baker, Uber ’s vice president of product and growth, resigned earlier this month. So did Charlie Miller, Uber’s top security researcher, who left to join Didi, China’s larger ridehailing company.

Jones’ departure comes days after Uber CEO Travis Kalanick said the company will hire a chief operating officer who can help write its “next chapter.”

Jones had left Target, where he was chief marketing officer, to join Uber in September.

Uber has been hit by several controversies, including allegations that it routinely ignores sexual harassment.

Engineering students traverse world through program

By AKHILA REDDY Staff Writer

Many Texas Tech students wonder if they will be able to study abroad.

For students in the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering, however, it is not a matter of if but a matter of when and where.

The International Engineering Program requires students in the college of engineering to go abroad for a minimum of six to eight weeks, according to the Tech website. Students can fulfill this requirement with one of four modalities: study abroad, internship abroad, research project abroad and service project abroad.

Al Sacco Jr., dean of the college of engineering, was the first dean in the nation to conceive a program like this in 2013.

Sacco is currently fielding calls from institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Texas at Austin looking to create their own versions of the program.

Sacco said there is no better way for students to develop maturity and confidence than to study abroad.

“I learned about going abroad in the military, and I often kid I went away at 17 and came back two years later at 35, because I learned an awful lot and had to depend on myself,” Sacco said. “I’d like to give students that experience without being in the military through this program.”

The International Engineering Program strives to make going abroad feasible for every student in the college of engineering, said George Spoth, executive associate dean who oversees the International Engineering Program. There are a range of modalities and financial options that provide students with flexibility.

Spoth said there are many ways to incorporate going abroad into a student’s time at Tech. If it is difficult for students to find applicable academic credit abroad, they can get valuable hands-on experience by doing internships or research abroad, instead.

“Seville has been a popular theme, but the study abroad piece is only one fourth of what we do,” Spoth said. “We do internships abroad, both paid and unpaid. Engineers can get experience, get paid and enjoy a different culture. We also do research abroad and service projects abroad.”

The International En-

gineering Program also accommodates students’ financial needs, Spoth said. It is working on an endowment of $10 million, and currently has approximately $2.2 million.

The program also provides operational funds to students with financial need.

Going abroad does not have to be expensive, Zaida Gracia, assistant academic dean for international programs, said.

Living costs in areas such as South America and Asia are relatively low, and students have to pay t h e s a m e Te c h t u i t i o n regardless of the location.

“We have developed many more programs that are more affordable. Many of the places that we send students now, for them, it costs less than staying here at Tech,” Gracia said. “All of these things were put into place hoping to consider all cases for every student, so we can serve everyone’s needs.”

Going abroad to a more traditionally expensive area, such as England, can still lead to student savings, Tommy Nutall, a senior mechanical engineering major from Amarillo, said. Nutall went abroad for a semester to study at the University of Surrey in Guildford, England.

Before going abroad, Nutall said he used to spent a lot of money going out for food. How-

ever, cooking his meals at home and taking the train allowed him to save some money in England, despite trips to Belgium, Paris, Scotland, Amster-

If it wasn’t required, I wouldn’t have (gone) and had that amazing experience.

TOMMY NUTALL MECHANICAL ENGINEERING MAJOR dam and much of the U.K. “I thought it was going to be a lot more expensive going there,” Nutall said.

“Whenever I got there, I actually spent so much less money, and I traveled all over the U.K. into Europe, everywhere, and plane tickets and everything else. I didn’t spend half the money I spend here at Tech.”

After coming back home, Nutall said he was better at managing his finances. Nutall was the only Tech student at University of Surrey, and navigating that environment alone allowed him to develop many more personal skills, from cooking to becoming more independent and confident.

“I went over there, and it was probably one of the greatest experiences I’ve

ever had,” Nutall said.

“It’s definitely something that’s transferred back to Texas Tech and helped me.

It’s something that I wish I could go do again if I had time here at Tech.”

Nutall said he initially thought the experience was going to be a waste of time that would detract from his studies. He was proven wrong and encourages other students to keep an open mind about the International Engineering Program.

“At first, I really wasn’t sure if I really wanted to go. It was something I wasn’t expecting to have to do at first, and then I found out it was required,” Nutall said. “If it wasn’t required, I wouldn’t have (gone) and had that amazing experience.”

Sacco said investing in going abroad pays off in many ways. Companies officials have said they look for students who are comfortable working abroad and who understand the global marketplace. In adddition, students who can pick up another language abroad become highly marketable.

The most important benefit for students is confidence, he said. Sacco was a payload specialist on the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1995, and at 4.3 miles a second in space, he had to make decisions quickly and confidently. That con-

fidence came from his time in the military abroad, and that is what he wants students to gain.

“It’s not what you do abroad. It’s the fact that you are abroad,” Sacco said. “You’re going to realize that you can survive anywhere with the train-

ing you have, with the knowledge you have, and it’s going to make you come back with a lot more confidence in yourself as a person, and that’s going to shine through in your interviews, in your career, in your life.” @DailyToreador

Frankly, few want to die, except those whose current situation suggests it is the only option or desired state of being.

R e c e n t l y, w h i l e i n a movie theater being entertained by the rapid exchange of gunfire and acrobatics and martial arts choreography, I realized just how much we are entertained by death; being the recipient of death; meting out death; and planning the most appropriate death.

Planning death, doling death out or dying as a martyr are cool beans for some.

and parcel to peace of mind, one seldom opts to be in close proximity to death as a bystander.

Perhaps, the distance we place in our minds between us and death is directly related to the perceived length of time between our entry into this world and our inevitable exit. Another contributing factor is the structure of the typical familial household.

There was a time in history when families were regularly, not just frequently, in close company with each other.

Multiple generations were typically represented at family gatherings, meals, etc. Children inevitably grew up with the natural processes of life

now framed in the reality of terminal.

There are two agencies I have worked with that have provided an opportunity for me to embrace life’s destination.

One is NODA and the other is Hospice of Lubbock.

In a culture where avoidance of pain and discomfort and unpleasantness is part and parcel to peace of mind, one seldom opts to be in close proximity to death as a bystander.

Both can be experienced on a volunteer level. For both, the experience is part of the framework for dignity at the end of life.

No One Dies Alone, or NODA, has been around

from as early as 2001. It meets the need for specialized end-of-life care.

Volunteers sit at the bedside of those who are within days of the end of life.

In most scenarios, the patient is unconscious.

Today, Hospice of Lubbock is how end-of-life care is provided. It includes care provided by varied strata of medical care professionals and volunteers.

The work of Dame Cicely Saunders — an English nurse — along with many others who joined her cause helped revolutionize endof-life care.

One thing to keep in the forefront of your mind as you travel through the academic path of your life is that death has a rightful place in your considerations for the future.

Interestingly, both of these movies received an R rating, which is unusual for big Marvel Comics or DC Comics releases.

Some might recall “Deadpool” came as result of star Ryan Reynolds’ 10year struggle to get the movie made.

It was full of false starts and bumps — like the sewn-mouthed Deadpool seen in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” — but when it finally released in 2016, it proved to be the highestgrossing R-rated film of all time, showing there is a market for mature superhero movies.

Since Marvel’s big foray into superhero movies in 2008 with “Iron Man,” a PG13 rating has been the norm.

All of Marvel’s movies since 2008 have received PG-13 ratings and DC’s movies have followed suit, expect for one exception.

The ‘Ultimate Edition’

However, it should be noted this occurred after the release of “Deadpool,” with “Deadpool” opening in February 2016 and “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” opening in March of the same year.

The praise was certainly well deserved.

Chuck Berry’s influence on rock ‘n roll incalculable Rock n’ roll was more than a new kind of music, but a new story to tell, one for kids with transistor radios in their hands and money in their pockets, beginning to raise questions their parents never had the luxury to ask.

Along with James Dean and J.D. Salinger and a handful of others in the 1950s, Chuck Berry — who was 90 when he died Saturday at his suburban St. Louis home — helped define the modern teenager. While Elvis Presley gave rock n’ roll its libidinous, hip-shaking image, Berry was the auteur, setting the narrative for a generation no longer

weighed down by hardship or war. Well before the rise of Bob Dylan, Berry wedded social commentary to the beat and rush of popular music.

“He was singing good lyrics, and intelligent lyrics, in the ‘50s when other people were singing, ‘Oh, baby, I love you so,’” John Lennon once observed.

“Classic rock” begins with Chuck Berry, who had announced late last year that he would first new album since 1979, called “Chuck,” sometime this year. His core repertoire was some three dozen songs, but his influence was incalculable, from the Beatles and Rolling Stones to

virtually every garage band or arena act that called itself rock ‘n roll.

In his late 20s before his first major hit, Berry crafted lyrics that spoke to young people of the day and remained fresh decades later.

“Sweet Little Sixteen” captured rock ‘n’ roll fandom, an early and innocent ode to the young girls later known as “groupies.” ‘’School Day” told of the sing-song trials of the classroom (“American history and practical math; you’re studying hard, hoping to pass ...”) and the liberation of rock ‘n’ roll once the day’s final bell rang.

No. 6 Tech defeats Texas, sweeps series

By MCKENZI MORRIS Managing Editor

With an 8-5 win against Texas on Sunday, the No. 6 Texas Tech baseball team swept the Longhorns to open Big 12 Conference play.

The Red Raiders won all three games of the series after consecutive 2-1 victories on Friday and Saturday, making it the first time they have swept the Longhorns in program history.

Sophomore right-handed pitcher Ryan Shetter started on the mound for Tech. He gave up two runs in the bottom of the first inning, giving Texas the early lead, 2-0.

Tech responded in the top of the second inning with junior shortstop Orlando Garcia’s fourth home run of the season, making it 2-1.

The Longhorns continued to score in the second, when freshman infielder David Hamilton reached base on a fielder’s choice and scored sophomore infielder Kody Clemens. At the end of two innings, the Longhorns led, 3-1.

A pair of RBIs from senior first baseman Hunter Hargrove and freshman catcher Michael Berglund tied the game at three in the third inning.

Shetter shut out the side in the bottom of the third, and Tech came up to bat in the fourth with a score of 3-3.

With two outs in the top of the fourth, freshman designated hitter John McMillon singled up the middle to give Tech a baserunner. He advanced to third on a single to the right side from senior left fielder Ryan Long. A wild pitch scored McMillon, making the score 4-3.

Freshman third baseman Josh Jung got on base from a walk. Then junior center fielder Tanner Gardner doubled down the right field line to score Long from second and make the score 5-3.

Hargrove followed up with a double of his own, scoring Jung and Gardner, to increase Tech’s lead to 7-3. The hit was Hargrove’s eighth double of the year.

After four innings on the mound, Shetter’s day was

He allowed three runs on three hits and struck out three batters. He was replaced with sophomore left-handed pitcher Erikson Lanning, who was taken out of the game after hitting a

batter and then walking one.

Junior left-handed pitcher Parker Mushinski took over for Lanning and worked out of the jam to keep the Longhorns from scoring.

The fifth was Mushin-

Redshirt junior Bret Boswell doubled to start the inning for Texas. He advanced

to third on a passed ball and scored on a sacrifice fly to make the score 7-4.

Texas scored again on a hit by pitch and called balk to cut Tech’s lead down to two, 7-5. The Longhorns did not score again during the game.

Junior left-handed pitcher Dylan Dusek came in to pitch for the Red Raiders in the bottom of the seventh, and the Longhorns went three up, three down.

The next inning, Tech increased its lead to 8-5 with a solo home run from McMillon. The home run was his second of the season.

Neither team scored in the ninth inning, making the final score 8-5.

After the weekend series, Tech has a Big 12 record of 3-0 for the first time since 1999, according to Tech Athletics.

The Red Raiders will host the University of Nevada at Las Vegas in a midweek series on Tuesday and Wednesday. The first game will take place at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Dan Law Field. @McKenziMorrisDT
