Cruz to become first major candidate to enter race WASHINGTON (AP) — Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz will become the first major candidate for president when he launches his campaign Monday, kicking off what’s expected to be a rush over the next few weeks of more than a dozen White House hopefuls into the 2016 campaign.

Cruz will formally get into the race during a morning speech at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, choosing to begin his campaign at the Christian college founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell rather than his home state of Texas or the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire. It’s a fitting setting for Cruz, a 44-year-old tea party darling whose entry into the 2016 campaign drew cheers Sunday among fellow conservatives.

“The official Republican pool of candidates will take a quantum leap forward with his announcement tomorrow,” said Amy Kremer, the former head of the Tea Party Express. Cruz’s announcement, she said, “will excite the base in a way we haven’t seen in years.”

Elected for the first time just three years ago, when he defeated an establishment figure in Texas politics with decades of experience in office, Cruz has hinted openly for more than a year that he wants to move down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Senate and into the White House. His plans were confirmed Sunday by one of his political strategists, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity so as not to preclude the announcement.

While Cruz is the first Republican to declare his candidacy, he is all but certain to be followed by several big names in the GOP, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and two Senate colleagues, Kentucky’s Rand Paul and Florida’s Marco Rubio.

Lawmakers: Funding costs too high for veteran education AUSTIN (AP) — They signed up to fight for their country, and the state of Texas promised to pay for their education.

For decades, veterans went to public universities and colleges under the Hazlewood Exemption, which kicks in after federal benefits under the G.I. Bill are exhausted. But the price tag has increased sevenfold since 2009, when legislators in Texas — which has the country’s second-highest veteran population, 1.7 million — allowed the benefit to be passed on to veterans’ children under a legacy provision.

“Everybody’s heart was in the right place when we added all the other beneficiaries,” said Republican Sen. Kel Seliger, chair of the Senate’s higher education committee. But, he added, “it just got too high of a price tag.”

Now, amid rising legacy costs and concern that a federal lawsuit over residency could push the benefit’s annual figure to $2 billion, policymakers must carefully balance state politics and fiscal conservativism with commitments made to veterans during World War II.

HSC students celebrate Match Day

By AMY CUNNINGHAM News editor

The futures of fourth-year medical students across the country were contained in envelopes until 11 a.m. Friday.

At that time, the soon-to-be physicians opened their envelopes and learned where they will complete their hospital residencies.

For married couples like Joshua Thomas, a fourth-year medical student from Morton, and Kleesy Thomas, a fourth-year medical student from Merkel, matching to programs in the same city is important but unpredictable, Joshua said.

“As confident as you may or may not be, no matter the situation or how good of a student you might have been, the fact of the matter is things are not in your hands,” he said. “For the medical student type, that’s a really scary idea for things to be so not in your control.”

There were many sleepless nights

and knotted stomachs as Match Day approached, Joshua said, because the West Texas couple wanted to complete their residencies in Lubbock.

Health Sciences Center students matched to programs all over the U.S., with about 20 percent of students staying in Lubbock, Dr. Steven Berk, executive vice president and provost of HSC and dean of the School of Medicine, said.

“All graduating medical students in the entire country, all 18,000 students, find out at exactly the same time where they’re doing their residencies,” he said. “This ends a very long process that started in the fall when they decided what specialty to go into, like pediatrics or internal medicine or surgery or radiology.”

The two Texas Tech HSC students found out Friday they will complete their residencies in Lubbock, the same city in which they met and fell in love, Kleesy said. Joshua will specialize in family medicine while

JOHN CHAUNCEY PUTS a pin on the location of his residency match on Friday in the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center. Chauncey was matched with the general surgery program at Scott and White.

Kleesy completes her residency in the field of dermatology.

Upon deciding on a specialty in the fall, each student applied to different programs in his or her chosen field, Berk said.

From there, students were granted interviews by some of the programs, he said, and then ranked the programs they wanted to

get into the most.

Officials in each program simultaneously ranked students, Berk said, and a computer algorithm by the National Residency Matching Program matches the students to hospitals.

Tech student helps rally for Planned Parenthood

Associate AD Blayne Beal resigns from Tech

By KAITLIN BAIN

After 15 years at Texas Tech, Associate Athletics Director Blayne Beal has announced his resignation from the university.

In order to spend more time with his family and have a life outside of the office, Beal said he has taken a new job in the private sector.

“I have accepted an exciting new opportunity,” Beal said in a Tech athletics release, “that I believe will allow me to continue to grow as a professional but also allow me to have a life outside of the office.”

Beal thanked the local media and said he has enjoyed his time working at the school, but also looks forward to his new role with Tech.

“I can’t wait for the opportunity to become a fan,” he said, “and take part in that event at football games that people refer to as ‘tailgating,’ something I have never experienced.”

Aubrey Reinhardt, a senior agricultural communications major from Granbury, attended Lobby Day in Austin on March 11 to rally for a Planned Parenthood facility to be reopened in the West Texas area.

Reinhardt said she is passionate about increasing the number of clinics in the West Texas area to bring support to those who are not only are searching for a legal, safe abortion, something Planned Parenthood is known for, but also lowcost health care.

Her experience in Austin happened quickly, she said, as she was only there one day, but she learned more about the cause and was able to influence lawmakers in Austin.

“When I arrived in Austin, I met with a member of the Planned Parenthood Central Texas team. She was my go-to girl for the day. We toured the Planned Parenthood Austin facility before we went to the capitol,” Reinhardt said.

“This facility was state of the art and had a very welcoming atmosphere.”

After touring the facility and being brought up to speed about the cause’s initiatives, Reinhardt was taken to the capitol where she met members and supporters of Planned Parenthood, she said, and attended a training to learn how to speak with legislators from her area.

Reinhardt said she spoke with legislators from West Texas: Rep. Jose Rodriguez from El Paso, Rep. Four Price from Amarillo and Sen. Kel

Seliger from Amarillo.

She said everyone she spoke with was receptive of the message she was there to convey.

Reinhardt also was able to participate in the Planned Parenthood rally while she was there, she said.

“My health care is very important to me. I need to stay healthy so I can go to school, get a career and plan for my future,” she said. “I was able to schedule an appointment with one (family planning clinic) but the doctor wanted me to

undergo a series of tests that I might not have been able to afford without insurance. The doctor also asked me why I was in such a hurry to become sexually active.”

Her story at the rally was heard with cheers from those in attendance and Reinhardt said despite being nervous, she was still excited to speak to those in attendance.

Texas Tech track teams begin outdoor season

The Office of International Affairs and the K-12 Global Education Outreach will display the winners of a diversity photo contest at 4 p.m. Friday in the Hall of Nations in the International Cultural Center.

Diversity Week will conclude with Celebrate Diversity and Holi Festival from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday at the Tech Rec Fields and Urbanovsky Park, according to the release.

Attendees of the festival can celebrate the Festival of Colors by throwing colored powders, seeing performances and eating free food. The South Asian Student Association and the Tech Activities Board will host the event.

Tech’s Student Union and Activities has partnered with the Divison of Institutional Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement for the week, according to the release.

Following its highest indoor finish in school history last week, the Texas Tech men’s track team began the 2015 outdoor season by winning the University of Texas at San Antonio Challenge this weekend.

Tech junior hurdler Chris Caldwell was the leader on the men’s side, according to a news release from Tech Athletics, winning the 110-meter hurdles as well as the 100m dash.

Caldwell also helped the men’s 4X100m relay, which finished first with a time of 40.69.

“I would say this was a pretty good start to our outdoor season,” Tech coach Wes Kittley said in the release. “Chris Caldwell really stood out to me with three event wins. He was impressive. We will face tougher competition as the season goes on, but this was just what we needed as a springboard to the Texas Relays next week.”

Overall, the Red Raiders won nine different events, according to the release, placing first and beating the next-closest team by 53 points.

Several athletes from the women’s team also won events, including senior sprinter Cierra White, who ran the second-fastest 100m time in the NCAA so far this season.

The Lady Raiders placed second in the competition, according to the release, three points behind first-place Kentucky.

Both teams will head to Austin next to compete in the Texas Relays.

LPD enforces zero-tolerance policy in park News editor

Lubbock park users beware: Tech Terrace Park has a zero-tolerance policy against anything hanging on trees, including hammocks, piñatas and anything else that requires rope or wire.

Bailey Scarborough, an environmental engineering graduate student from Lubbock, said her friend received a $161 citation from a Lubbock Police Department officer because they were using hammocks in the park.

“One of my friends from Dumas was in town, and it was really pretty outside, so we decided to hammock in Tech Terrace Park,” she said. “We were there for maybe 30 minutes, and there were about a dozen people ham-

mocking. Then all of a sudden, a police officer came up and asked for our identification cards.”

The pair did not think they were in trouble, Scarborough said, and willingly handed over their IDs. The officer began writing a citation without asking if the students knew of a city ordinance that prevents any rope, wire or contrivance from being attached to a tree in a public park, she said.

“We looked around and there were two other police officers giving two other groups of hammockers tickets, too,” Scarborough said. “On a Sunday afternoon, they sent three squad cars with three different policemen just to cite hammockers.”

about legislators’ current plans for the funding Planned Parenthood currently receives.

“I learned that there is currently plans to break up funding that we get from the federal government for breast and cervical cancer screenings conducted by Planned Parenthood,” Reinhardt said. “If this happens, many uninsured and low-income will not be able to afford these testings that save hundreds of women’s lives each year.”

After voicing her concerns and speaking with administrators with others who also shared their stories, Reinhardt said Lubbock is intended to be the next site for a clinic.

“Because of the population, including Texas Tech students, and the lack of outlets to receive reproductive healthcare, Lubbock is in the most need,” she said. “I hope that the transition of bringing them back will take place while I am still in school here because I will be the first to volunteer and I will be a huge advocate for Planned Parenthood in West Texas.”

As a result of the complaints, the park now has a zero-tolerance policy against hammocks and other recreational activities that involve attaching items to trees, Scarborough said.

“It kind of defeats the purpose of a public park,” she said. “I was just shocked because I had never heard of this rule. There are no signs at the park that say no hammocks.”

Evan Barker, a Lubbock resident and Tech Terrace Park attendee, said he did not know the ordinance existed and thinks the rule should be clearer.

Scarborough spoke during a March Lubbock City Council meeting about the citation issued and said other attendees at the meeting were surprised to hear about the ordinance.

Scarborough’s friend intended to fight the citation in court but could not get off work, she said. The citation was reduced to $130.

“Councilman (Jeff) Griffith said the parks department is working on putting posts up so you can hammock on posts near the trees instead of on the trees themselves,” Scarborough said.

“They’re working on putting signs up. However, I do think citations should stop being given until the signs are up, at least without a warning.” ➤➤@dailytoreador

Match Day lets students know where they will train for the next three to seven years of their lives, Joshua said.

He will spend three years and Kleesy will spend four years in their respective residency programs.

More than 41,000 applicants registered to be matched this year, the largest number on record, according to an NRMP news release. There were 30,212 positions available.

“We had a very successful Match Day. Most students were very happy where they wound up,” Berk said. “We had a tremendous amount of success in general.

We had 133 out of 136 students match, and the other three, we’re working on a plan for them. Many of the students, more this year than ever before, chose to stay right here at Texas Tech Health Sciences Center because we have residencies programs in pretty much everything.”

According to an official list of HSC residency matches, students will complete their residencies at HSC, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Baylor University Medical Center, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Mayo Clinic and more.

Joshua and Kleesy met in medical school, she said, so they enjoyed sharing their Match Day excitement.

Joshua said attending medical school with his wife divided their stress and let him know he had someone who understood what he was going through.

“On the happy days you get to celebrate together,” he said, “and on the bad days you get to cry together.”

Match Day is a great day each year for the students as well as HSC itself, Berk said.

The day showcases what the students have accomplished throughout their educational careers, he said, all contained in each student’s envelope.

“I’ve followed these students over four years from the time they started out in anatomy through their clinical clerkships,” Berk said. “There is the opportunity to see them develop as physicians and then find all of these really good opportunities to continue their education.” ➤➤@dailytoreador

Students bring help to Ferguson, Missouri

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

To help a Missouri community rebuild after months of protest and riots, a small group of students from around the country banded together to help the community of Ferguson, Missouri, heal. Through the Ferguson Alternative Spring Break the group managed to bring some peace back to the area.

“Some of the activists in Ferguson put out a call to all college students,” Odera Anyasinti, a senior human sciences major from Katy, said. “The call was; ‘Come back to Ferguson and try to advance the community in different ways.’”

The driving force of the Ferguson Alternative Spring Break was to bring more confidence and peace to the people of Ferguson, Anyasinti said. It was a community service opportunity to help rebuild shops, paint buildings or just clean up a few streets.

After her plans fell through for a spring break cruise, Anyasinti was in search of a productive way to spend her break, she said.

“I was reading a news blog,” she said, “and it called for activists and college students to give up spring break and go to Ferguson.”

Making national news, the trip was open to anyone who wanted to join, Anyasinti said.

While on the trip the group experienced many difficulties as it tried to help the community.

“I was following a lot of this story on Twitter,” Tedra James from Wesleyan University in Connecticut, said. “I felt like I needed to go see what was going on for myself.”

Getting a firsthand view of

what was happening in the region did give James a different perspective on the situation, she said.

“Security was called on us while we were helpin g out there,” James said. “All we were doing was handing out food.”

Most of the residents didn’t want pictures taken while the group was there, Anyasinti said, mostly out of fear of the media and backlash from city officials.

“They have a totally different setup than where I’m from,” James said. “It seems there is more power in their council than there is their mayor.”

For that reason it is greatly important for the residents of Ferguson, and the surrounding areas, to vote, James said.

“Voting was going to be the most important thing,” Anyasinti said, “it’s going to people out of the positions of power.”

Anyasinti compared the trip to a 1964 campaign, Freedom Summer.

“That was also a call to action for college students to come to Mississippi,” she said. “The area they went to was between 80 and 90 percent AfricanAmerican, and only about six percent voted.”

After creating a diverse group of students from around the US, the campaign made its way to parts of Mississippi to give more political backing to the scared African-American population of the day, she said. This effort paved the way for the civil liberties all Americans are entitled to today.

“Many times I hear people say that all those people needed to do was vote,” James said, “but after seeing what was going on I can tell that wasn’t the only problem.”

Witnessing how the political system works in the area,

it became apparent to James a massive cleanup of city officials was needed, she said. People weren’t confident in their political system and those running it to try and change the politics of the town.

“One thing that was unexpected was the unity of the people,” Donna-Marie Thompson, from the University of the District of Columbia in Washington D.C., said. “Everyone that we met came together and it felt like one unit of people.”

Though the tension between the officials of the town was apparent, the togetherness of the townspeople was surprising, Thompson said. Many people were grateful for the group being there.

“Many people didn’t have the information of the law, and

weren’t very knowledgeable of it,” Thompson said. “So we went around handing out pamphlets and giving people more relevant information about the laws.”

The information was given to the people so they could know who and what they were voting for, Thompson said. With this increase in political understanding, the group also took part in putting up permanent memorials for Michael Brown and other protestors killed in the riots around the area, all of whom made a lasting impact on the volunteers.

“I wish more people would be able to see the other side of Ferguson,” Thompson said. “I wish more media would be able to find the other side of their story.” ➤➤@MichaelCantuDT

Government interference bad for web users Regulating Internet best option for consumers

“

Users who use less data may end up, in effect, subsidizing those who use more data. The plan also explains that sponsored data plans, such as the T-Mobile Music Freedom offering mentioned by Pai, may violate this new standard. Any specified extras in the plan that a provider would use to differentiate itself from the competition are now potentially violating this new standard.

As Pai also points out, this plan gives the government regulatory body the ability to micromanage the Internet even to the point of where and when a service provider may put physical interconnection points, how much they can charge and how they will route traffic, according to the article.

Another important point to bring out is the implications to privacy of the Internet now being a public utility. If you thought the NSA and government agencies were untouchable before, watch out for what is coming. Only days after Chairman Tom Wheeler announced his switch to supporting these regulations, the Federal Election Commission started fielding the idea of regulating online political speech. After all, it’s a public utility now right?

Another point made surrounding the vagueness of these regulations is they leave any provider wide open for any litigation or lawsuit over any perceived or construed slight made by a provider’s management practices or rates. Class action lawsuits will be easy to level against them for settlement money for just about anything. While that may seem like a good idea to some, those companies will have to hire larger and more expensive legal teams, and those costs, as well as that of any settlements, will filter down to the consumer. After all, those techni-

The plan does absolutely nothing to prevent state and federal taxes on the Internet as a public utility, as well as additional fees.

SHOULD INTERNET BE REGULATED

BY GOVERNMENT? VOTE ONLINE AND LET US KNOW

WWW.DAILYTOREADOR.COM after all.

An independent study done by the Internet Innovation Alliance has discovered the regulation used up to this point with the Internet is more successful than Title II style regulation, such as what this regulation is, that has been implemented in Europe. In fact, this style of regulation brings less investment and slower broadband, according to the Internet Innovation Alliance website.

According to this study, from 2011 through 2012 82 percent of United States households had 25+ Mbps broadband speeds, including 48 percent of rural households. Europe had 54 percent and 12 percent, respectively. In 2012, 4G LTE covered 86 percent of Americans while only 27 percent of Europeans enjoyed it. In 2013, average mobile connection speeds were 30 percent faster in the U.S. than in Europe. Why fix something that isn’t broken?

To conclude, this plan secretly brings more uncertainty, higher regulatory costs, decreased effectiveness, decreased variability of service, more lawsuits, an open-door for taxes, more government micromanagement (because Healthcare. gov worked out so well), rate regulation and also, by extension of all of these issues, more difficulty in small company startups. This of course translates to a de facto monopoly by those who can absorb the costs of increased regulation. Better invest in a hard drive for your videos, because streaming is going to become a trickle.

T

he Federal Communications Commission is finally initiating a battle against one of the largest monopolies plaguing the U.S. today, and some citizens are too angry with the government to realize it.

The new FCC regulation, passed in late February, will reclassify the Internet as a public utility, thus opening the methods of the Internet service industry to government regulation. The regulation was passed after widespread support form the Internet community, despite facing large lobbying efforts from Verizon Communications Inc., AT&T Inc. and Comcast Corp.

According to the VTDigger website, the argument for regula-

cians installing those lines outside your apartment have families that need to eat too.

Again, and I can’t stress this enough, the regulation, through its tortured and vague language, does not just leave the Internet open to more regulation, but it invites more regulation. In fact, the plan states the forbearance is only temporary and more regulation will be brought online piece by piece.

The regulation includes the probability for more taxes. The plan does absolutely nothing to prevent state and federal taxes on the Internet as a public utility, as well as additional fees. Guess who will be paying these fees in the end?

According to the Feld website, Commissioner Pai states that the regulation sets the framework for taxes initially so they can be easily raised in subsequent regulation. It is a public utility now,

tion states large Internet service providers have stifled fair competition in the Internet economy by throttling Internet speeds toward specific websites, as well as charging content providers for decent Internet speeds.

One interesting piece of evidence with this big business abuse is the relationship between Comcast and Netflix. Along with other companies, Comcast currently throttles the downloading quality of Netflix’s videos unless Netflix pays a fee. Comcast claims Netflix should pay more for the large amount of traffic it places on Comcast’s networks, despite the fact customers already pay for high downloading speeds.

According to the Business Insider website, Netflix claims, “in this way, Comcast is double dipping by getting both its subscribers and Internet content providers to pay for access to each other.”

Situations like these make it obvious how the large Internet service providers are neither interested in creating a competitive market nor promoting innovation in the Internet industry.

This is primarily evidenced by the U.S.’s poor Internet services in relation to other countries.

some of the slowest Internet speeds, as well as some of the highest prices. In addition, Comcast, the largest U.S. Internet service provider, has consistently attained the lowest ranking in the American Consumer Satisfaction Index, and other ISPs are not far behind.

“New ISP startups are frequently hit by lawsuits from large ISP provid ers, bankrupting the young companies and making new competition impossible,” according to the Ars Technica website.

If consumers are dissatisfied with these companies, they are able to shape the market by taking their business elsewhere. However, because the Internet has become essential in modern life, consumers have no choice but to stick with the few Internet service providers that are available. In the situation in which consumers have little sway over the market, the only hope left is government regulation.

The new regulation can be broken down into three new rules — Internet service providers may not block any legal content, throttle legal internet traffic and cannot prioritize any traffic in exchange for payment or privileges. This will effectively ban ISPs from tampering or censoring any content that travels through their infrastructure. It must be noted this new regulation has nothing to do with the government’s ability to manage Internet content; instead, it only allows the government to regulate how ISPs interact with the Internet.

Critics of FCC regulation fear the new rules will stifle investment in new Internet infrastructure due to increased regulation.

Since the regulation was passed, however, the stock market has remained stable.

According to the Wall Street Journal website, “Stocks of Internet service providers didn’t tank, companies bid nearly 45 billion for wireless licenses in an auction that closed in January and carriers like Sprint Corp. said a Title II approach wouldn’t harm investment.”

“

Furthermore, by reclassifying the Internet as a public utility, the access to public infrastructure will lead to more innovation and investment.

For example, Google Fiber, a cutting-edge ISP, has had immense difficulty in gaining access to public utility poles. Without this access, the cost of spreading its services has skyrocketed and subsequently stifled its spread. While major Tele com companies such as Comcast and AT&T have long had the right to access these poles, Google Fiber and other startup ISP provid ers have not.

As a result, these small ISP companies have not been able to expand and customers are still stuck with the slow speeds of Comcast, Verizon, AT&T and Time Warner Inc. Other critics of the new FCC regulation fear it is a strategic step toward government management of the Internet. I must admit the suspicion is justified, considering the increasing government censorship in countries around the globe. However, this skepticism is groundless, as the content of the regulation has nothing to do with government interference of the material online. The new regulation will give governments access to prosecute ISPs for tampering with the Internet and does not grant the government any privileges to meddle with online content itself.

This new regulation is not the first regulation of the Internet industry, nor will it be the last. All around the globe, battles are being fought to keep the Internet a bastion of free speech. The new regulation has temporarily stopped large companies from interfering with the Internet, but the battle over regulation and censorship will soon continue. For today, however, the FCC has won an important battle in banning ISPs from tampering with Internet freedom. It is a victory that may be small in the fight for Internet freedom, but it is a victory for which I am surely proud.

The new regulation has temporarily stopped large companies from interfering with the Internet, but the battle over regulation and censorship will soon continue.

“

M

any people have been interested in the net neutrality proceedings involving government regulation of the Internet as a public telecommunications utility. I’ve been one of them and have been following the proceedings closely. Many think it is a great idea and would usher in a time of increased innovation and freedom in Internet use. I disagree.

Before we get into the details of why the regulation by the Federal Communications Commission of the Internet as a public telecoms utility is a bad idea, we should talk first about how it was passed. Ajit Pai, one of the FCC commissioners, repeatedly attempted to get the 332-page regulation released for public scrutiny before it was voted on, and he was repeatedly blocked by the FCC chairman.

Why would they want something that is evidently so great to be hidden from the public? Ajit Pai repeatedly warned in press releases and any other way legally possible about the FCC’s net neutrality rules, described as a, “solution in search of a problem,” according to an article in Right Wing News.

First, the idea there will be no rate regulation is false. These regulations temporarily forbear rate regulation provisions of 47 U.S.C. § 201 and 202. The regulations passed by the FCC do set the framework for these to be implemented at any time. In fact, the only thing the regulation does set out is that it won’t regulate rates ahead of time.

Secondly, any service offerings other than, as Pai put it, “an unlimited, all-youcan-eat data plan,” are now subject to case-by-case review under a new Internet conduct standard, according to the FCC website. Mobile services are under an even finer lens.

South by Southwest festival showcased new, old artists I

t is crazy to think thousands of people make their way to Austin from all over the world just to attend a conference.

Although, I think we can all agree that South by Southwest is not just any conference.

This annual 10-day film, interactive and music festival proved to be more than just a conference for people to attend. For me, this was evident while walking through the streets of Austin.

From the first day I arrived at the festival, I knew it would be an interesting week. I probably witnessed many things in public that I should have not seen.

For example, on my first day I saw an elderly woman peeing on a sidewalk and a plethora of drunken people throwing up on the side of the road.

In other words, the phrase “Keep Austin Weird,” truly did apply to the city.

Aside from the old lady and drunken people, my reason to attend SXSW

Anthony Estolano

was for the music festival.

Thousands of new and well-known artists were scheduled to appear at the festival including Wiz Kalifa and J. Cole.

My music experience began by covering the band Spoon. The band put on an electrifying show with possible seizure-inducing strobe lights, but the crowd seemed to love it as the show progressed.

The next day included many big name artists such as Wiz Kalifa.

The day started with a good amount of rain covering the city, but that did not stop fans from lining up for shows.

Fast forward to about 11:30 p.m.

With a delay in her schedule, DeJ Loaf took the stage inside the Moody Theater singing her hit “Try Me.” The crowd loved her performance as they sang along with her.

Following her performance, Mike WiLL Made-It took the stage. He later surprised the crowd with a special appearance by Rae Sremmurd who sang his hit “No Type.” The crowd went wild and began jumping as Sremmurd performed. At one point it seemed the floor would break because of the amount of people jumping in the venue.

Next to perform was Kalifa and Taylor Gang.

I have never seen a crowd of people get as excited as the crowd I witnessed when Kalifa made his way to the stage.

At first Kalifa was in a mild attitude and began by mixing his own music.

As the show felt like it was about to end, Kalifa finally made his way from the DJ table and began signing “Taylor Gang.” The crowd erupted with cheers

and began jumping again. The crowd’s excitement even began to push the photo pit gate forward as the crowd pushed in excitement.

By the last day of the festival, I was severely lacking sleep, but that did not stop me from attending shows.

I decided to go to the Moody Theater again to cover the J. Cole concert.

As I arrived at the theater, I noticed the line that seemed endless. Witnessing this, I had a feeling this would be a great show.

Cole took the stage finally at about 11 p.m. and the crowd once again went wild as Cole began to sing hits from his new album “Forest Hill Dr.” It was not till after the concert that I finally realized why Texas is the perfect place for this festival.

Texas is not only country music but is music country.

Tech students share love of art through ceramics

not required to have experience with ceramics and can come to any meeting to try making pots on throwing wheels.

“For the Throw-A-Thon, what we do is we supply all of the students with clay and all the materials,” he said. “They can just come in and give it a shot and work.

Many of the grad students stick around and they want to help.”

The Clay Club also has an undergraduate section, and Wise said having both of the sections meet together allows the graduate students to help younger students who may not have as much experience in certain techniques.

Some of the Master of Fine Arts candidates are interested in teaching, he said, and being a part of the club gives them the opportunity to teach others and give demonstrations.

“I wanted to be involved within the club because it helps our program and it helps us as MFA candidates,” Wise said. “As a program in general we’re always looking to help people in clay because that’s how we get more people that want

Texas Tech fosters various types of art through its art degrees as well as its public art collection across campus, and students can get involved in different art organizations on campus.

Nicolle Lamere, a graduate student with an emphasis in ceramics from Madison, Wisconsin, and president of the Graduate Clay Club, said the club usually meets the first Thursday of every month.

“We start out with our formal meeting where people can raise any concerns they have about events we’re planning, and then it turns into our Throw-A-Thon,” she said. “People are invited to stay and throw.”

The meetings alternate between Wednesday and Thursday evenings every week, and Lamere said this allows students with busy schedules to make it to at least some of the meetings each month.

Tony Wise, a graduate student with an emphasis in ceramics from Lubbock, said students are

to come in and do clay with us.”

Once per semester, the club will sell the ceramics its members have made to raise money to go to national and international conferences.

The Clay Club meets in the Art 3D Annex on campus, which was built in 2007, to house the jewelry and metals, woodshop, ceramics and sculpture programs, according to the Facilities Planning and Construction website, and more ceramics space was added in 2009.

“I really like the idea of expanding community,” Lamere said.

“We’re all the way out here, and it’s a beautiful new facility, but we’re across from the Rec Center so we might not get as many people over here. It’s nice to bring campus over here and bring people together.”

Inside the throwing room of the 3D Annex, the ceramics students mix their own clay and glaze their ceramics in a variety of different glazes.

Directly outside of the building, there are different types of kilns for firing the ceramics,

Lamere said, and the variety and number of kilns is a distinguished feature of the Tech ceramics program.

“It’s a very well-balanced group of people who know ceramics and those who just like it and want to give it a shot,” Wise said. “We have people who come in, throw, love it and stick with the club.”

The Clay Club is also a way for students who are passionate about ceramics to stay involved in the art even if they cannot pursue it as a career.

The club’s next meeting is at 6 p.m. on April 2 in the throwing room of the Art 3D Annex, and students just need to bring their own tools and the club will provide the clay and other materials.

“If you want something to detach yourself from your studies for a while or meet some new people, it’s a great way to sit down and do something,” Lamere said. “You have two people on the other side of you on these wheels, and it’s so much easier to start a conversation and get to know these people.” ➤➤@JenRomeroDT

John Legend’s thoughts on race, Common, Sam Smith, ‘Blurred Lines’ AUSTIN (AP) — John Legend says he’s concerned that the “Blurred Lines” verdict could set a scary precedent for artists creating music inspired by others.

In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, the Grammy winner said understands why people say 2013’s biggest hit song by Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke sounds like “Got to Give It Up,” Marvin Gaye’s 1977 hit, adding: “I said that

when I first heard it, too.”

But he said he doesn’t agree with the jury that determined the performers copied elements of Gaye’s work.

“You have to be careful when it comes to copyrights, whether just sounding like or feeling like something is enough to say you violated their copyrights,” the singersongwriter told The Associated Press on Saturday before performing at the South by Southwest music festival.

“Because there’s a lot of music out there, and there’s a lot of things that feel like other things that are influenced by other things. And you don’t want to get into that thing where all of us are suing each other all the time because this and that song feels like another song.”

Williams, with whom Legend has worked in the past, and Thicke also were ordered to pay nearly $7.4 million to three of Gaye’s children.

Tech baseball loses first conference series

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

The No. 10 Texas Tech baseball team started spring break with a three-game road trip against No. 28 San Diego State.

After being swept in the first road trip of the season, the team was trying to put road concerns behind it.

The Red Raiders fell to 0-4 on the road when they lost the series opener 9-0 to the Aztecs.

In the shutout Tech managed to knock three hits and junior second baseman Cory Raley had his sevengame hit streak snapped.

Senior second baseman Bryant Burleson moved past Barrett Barnes for eighth place on the school’s all-time at-bat list, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

The next day, the Red Raiders flipped the script on the Aztecs with an 11-0 blowout victory.

Senior left-handed pitcher Cameron Smith threw a seasonhigh seven shutout innings with three hits and six strikeouts, according to the release.

After having its bats silenced in the opening game, Tech out

hit San Diego State 14-5. Junior outfielder Tyler Neslony matched his career high with four hits, including a three-run home run.

In the rubber match game of the series, the Red Raiders grinded out a 6-3 win. The series victory was the school’s first road nonconference three-game series win against a ranked opponent since 1996, according to the release.

Senior right-handed pitcher Corey Taylor earned his first win of the season after pitching four shutout innings and striking out five batters, according to the release. Taylor has not allowed an earned run this season in 21.2 innings of work.

Senior right-handed pitcher Dominic Moreno earned his third save of the season in the win, which ranks fourth in the Big 12 Conference.

Tech then traveled back to Lubbock to welcome Oral Roberts for a two-game midweek series.

In the opening game, the Red Raiders allowed seven unanswered runs in the fifth and sixth innings, forcing another home game into extra innings.

Oral Roberts scored two runs in the top of the 11th inning for a

9-7 victory. Moreno took the loss in the game.

Junior first baseman Eric Gutierrez went 2 for 5 with 4 RBIs, but it was not enough. In total, the Red Raiders had six players with multihit games, according to the release.

The two teams split the series the next day when Tech claimed a 7-4 win behind five double plays.

With the game tied at 1-1, the Red Raiders scored six unanswered runs during almost the rest of the game.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock said the team always seems to come up with a clutch hit or pitch whenever they need it most.

“I thought the guys did a really good job of coming out and playing today,” he said in the release. “Got a resilient bunch, they like to play baseball. Made some pitches when we needed to be able to turn those double plays.”

Raley had another three-hit game and scored three times in the win.

After the Oral Roberts series and a 15-6 nonconference record, Tech’s conference season began.

The Red Raiders began Big 12 play on the road in a three-game series against Oklahoma, the team that defeated Tech by a run in the Conference Tournament Championship game.

Tech opened the series with a 6-1 victory behind sophomore right-handed pitcher Ryan Moseley’s strong pitching

performance. He threw seven innings and allowed three hits with six strikeouts.

Taylor threw two more shutout innings, keeping his ERA at .000.

Raley continued to produce three-hit games as he went 3 for 4 with two RBIs. He is now hitting .429 for the season, highest in the conference.

Tech was unable to stay hot at

the plate in game two of the series, mostly because of sophomore Sooner pitcher Alec Hansen, who pitched a three-hit complete game with 10 strikeouts, allowing Oklahoma to even the series.
