Serving the Texas Tech University community since 1925

University to test outdoor siren system Texas Tech will test its outdoor siren system today as the campus prepares for severe weather season.

A siren will sound for one minute at 10:50 a.m. today, according to a Tech news release.

The Tech Police Department would sound the outdoor siren system in the event of actual severe weather, according to the release, and people should seek shelter as soon as possible should that happen.

“The safety of our university community is our top priority,” Ronald Phillips, university counsel and emergency management coordinator, said in the release.

“We test our sirens once a year and our TechAlert! system at least twice a year.

It’s important that our students, faculty and staff know the sound of our sirens and what to do when they are activated.

It’s also vital that we have current phone, text message and email contacts so that our emergency communications system can get the latest information out as fast as possible.”

In the past year Palcohol underwent noticeable scrutiny over its marketing techniques.

While some legislators consider the powdered content to be like any other legal substance, other states around the U.S. have already considered banning it, according to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence website. Delaware, Alaska, Louisiana, South Carolina and Vermont have banned Palcohol. Colorado, New York and Ohio, amongst others, are considering pushing legislators toward the ban, according to the website.

With intrigued parents and college students around campus, the next step might be to consider if Texas will choose to legalize or ban Palcohol.

Picture an individual entering any public place, an airplane or a restaurant, with a plastic bag filled with white powder. There are no police officers rushing to arrest the person because what he holds is legal. This was the vision of a man named Mark Phillips, the creator of Palcohol, or powdered alcohol.

According to his website, Phillips’ goal was to create a more tangible way to transport alcoholic beverages to both the public and the industries looking to facilitate their alcohol distribution.

After having released the information of Palcohol to the public almost a year ago, and with careful consideration from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, Palcohol

“It sounds strange,” Marek Hamiliton, a sophomore exercise and sport sciences major, said, “but I’d give it a shot.”

Hamilton said Palcohol will produce sufficient popularity to keep the product alive, but will eventually die down like most new products. He also said Palcohol should be legal.

“It’s just alcohol,” he said. “Put a warning label on it, that’s what they do for everything else.”

Other students said the product’s popularity is inevitable.

“It’s going to be popular whether they like it or not,” Marlon Carter, a sophomore, said.

“Some may disagree but others will say, ‘Oh look, Whiz the Rapper drinks Palcohol so it’s gotta be good.’”

Perry ignores questions about fellow Texan Cruz HOUSTON (AP) — A day after Sen. Ted Cruz announced he’s seeking the Republican presidential nomination, former Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday refused any discussion of how his fellow Texan’s move affects his own anticipated White House run.

Perry spoke at a Bloomberg-sponsored breakfast in Houston where he was asked about broad topics, including some politics.

But Cruz’s name never surfaced, and he ignored questions from reporters afterward about his potential GOP rival.

Perry, who left office in January after a record-long 14 years as Texas governor, ran unsuccessfully for president in 2012 but is expected to announce a 2016 bid in May or June.

“I think elections are interesting processes,” he said during the more formal part of the program where he was asked about a possible Jeb Bush-Hillary Clinton 2016 matchup.

“Key at this particular juncture is the familiarity with the names,” he said. “Having a name that’s been a president of the United States and being kin to that name is probably a good thing.”

He said he trusted Americans would be engaged and pay attention to the process, look at candidates’ records and policies and make a choice that’s based on a candidate’s vision and experience and not so much on name or gender.

Wernsman memorial service to take place Thursday evening A campus memorial service will be hosted at 5:30 p.m.

Thursday in Room 281 of the Media and Communication building for Robert Wernsman, a retired College of Media and WERNSMAN Communication instructor who died March 15.

Wernsman died peacefully in his sleep after a long battle with cancer, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador.

“Robert Wernsman influenced so many students and careers. We knew it when he taught and we hear it when we talk to alumni,” Todd Chambers, interim associate dean for undergraduate affairs, said in a Texas Tech news release. “I’d like to encourage current and former students to attend the memorial Thursday and share a few words about how Mr. Wernsman helped them as students and/or in their careers.”

Wernsman retired at the end of the Fall 2014 semester after more than 20 years of teaching, according to the article.

During his career, Wernsman shaped the lives of Tech alumni and journalists, according to the release.

Funeral services were hosted March 17 in the Lakeridge Chapel, according to the article.

James Doughty, a former student of Wernsman’s who graduated in 1997, said he is thankful he stayed in touch with Wernsman after graduation.

“Mr. Wernsman was more than a top-notch instructor,” Doughty said. “He taught his students about life and how to survive a career in journalism. I use his best practices every day. Mr. Wernsman was a true inspiration and I will treasure his many personal stories about his life as a newspaper journalist.”

Texas Tech baseball drops one-run game at home

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

In a one-game series against New Mexico on Tuesday afternoon, the Texas Tech baseball team lost 7-6 in front of a crowd of 3,091 fans.

The loss marked only the third of the season at home for the team.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock said he takes the blame for the loss because he thinks he did not do a good enough job making the lineup.

“I don’t think you can compare (last) weekend to today. The arms we saw today aren’t close to the ones we saw on the weekend,” he said.

“We should have been able to put good at-bats together today. Bottom line is we didn’t really play well enough to win.”

After receiving Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Week honors Monday, junior second baseman Cory Raley continued to make solid contact with a home run in the Red Raiders first at-bat of the game.

Tech Public Media partners with Health Sciences Center

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

On Tuesday, the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center along with Tech Public Media hosted a panel discussion on the effects of cancer. At the event, they debuted local documentary and previewed a national documentary.

“Tonight we are going to be seeing two documentaries, one that is locally produced and one that is nationally produced,” Dr. Tedd Mitchell, president of the Tech Health Sciences Center, said, “and both of the documentaries have to do with everything about cancer.”

The films, “Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies” by Ken Burns and “Life. Hope. Courage: Stories of Cancer” by Paul Hunton show what cancer is, who it affects and the different treatments, Mitchell said.

“Hopefully when everybody leaves it will give them a better understanding of the magnitude of the problem,” Mitchell said.

Graduate writing center assists students

By CIARA DEVORE Staff Writer

For any graduate student in need of writing help, the Texas Tech Graduate School opened its Graduate Student Writing Center to assist students with course assignments and research.

The writing center is in Room 43 of the Administration building, according to the Graduate School website, and is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Mark Sheridan, vice provost for graduate affairs, dean of the Graduate School and professor of biology, said it is essential for students to have the ability to communicate

both in writing and orally to a variety of audiences about what they did and why it was important.

“We’ve been working on trying to provide a comprehensive set of resources to graduate students to advance their professional career development skills,” he said. “The marketplace is requiring much more than disciplinary knowledge. The establishment of our graduate center provides us an opportunity to establish a hub for graduate student life as well as professional and career development activities.”

All graduate students can go to the writing center for help with any writing-related assignment,

according to the website, including theses and fellowship applications.

The university is committed to any resource that can be used to help students with their work and to advance their career aspirations, Sheridan said.

At the same time, the writing center helps Tech become a tier-one university by investing in its students, he said.

“I think even for the individual who has done a lot of writing, I think taking advantage of this service and the writing center will help improve their writing,” Sheridan said. “Especially increasingly in areas like the sciences, where it’s so important to be able to communicate the

broader impacts and the societal benefits of one’s work, just to practice writing for that purpose takes a lot of practice.”

With the graduate writing center in place, school officials have started to work on placing other academic support services in a similar location, Sheridan said, so the graduate students have one place to go to for student resources.

Wr i t i n g c o m m u n i c a t i o n skills are an essential part of what researchers do, he said, and the Graduate School needs to make sure all the opportunities are available for our students to acquire and hone those skills.

Adam Cantu, a senior media and communications student from Round Rock, said he would take advantage of the center if

he were writing a thesis.

“Any time Tech has an opportunity to offer helpful programs, (students) should do it,” he said. “They can help you write the best thesis you can possibly write and they can help you better understand how to go about chasing your dream job.” ➤➤@DailyToreador

Food trucks increase in popularity across Lubbock

By JONATHAN LAUREL Staff Writer

Food trucks serve unique foods and have full-fledged kitchens on four wheels.

These mobile kitchens have been steadily sweeping their way through the country and are now making a name in Lubbock.

In December 2014, the Lubbock City Council passed an ordinance allowing Lubbock mobile food vendors to freely set up in certain areas

around the Hub City.

“The permit allows us to be on private property with the landowners permission,” Russell Schlegel, the owner of Crusty’s Wood Fired Pizza, said.

Typically, a business will have a big sale or even a grand opening and will ask Schlegel’s business to come as a way to increase attendance, he said.

Food trucks are a different experience in comparison to other pizza places or restaurants, he said.

“We’re the only wood fire pizza place in Lubbock,” Schlegel, who has been a

vendor since 2010, said. “It’s different: you watch us make it, cook it and you get to mingle with like-minded people.

It is a very social atmosphere.”

Crusty’s appeals to many of the Tech students, because 100 percent of the businesses’ publicity and advertising is conducted through social media, Schlegel said.

Connie Olivas is the owner of La Picosita. The Spanish food truck is one of the six food truck vendors in the city of Lubbock.

there was a food truck on almost every corner,” Olivas, the owner, driver, cook and server of the business, said. “I didn’t see anything like that in Lubbock when I came back.”

This is her fourth year as a mobile vendor, she said.

“It brings a certain culture to it. You don’t have to go to a restaurant and pay a big price for something tasty,” she said. “It is a good change for Lubbock.”

Olivas said she thinks there is going to be an increase in the number of food trucks in Lubbock in the next

few years, she said, and she hopes there will eventually be a Chinese food truck to add diversity.

The food truck craze has also occurred on Texas Tech’s campus as Hospitality Services unveiled the on-campus StrEat food truck in Summer 2014.

“A big part of bringing a food truck was the growth of the university,” Alan Cushman, the manager of business development for Texas Tech Hospitality Services, said. “Hospitality Services is always looking for ways to better serve the students.”

Hospitality Services is constantly looking for food trends, he said, and noticed the popularity of food trucks.

The flexibility allows the truck to be anywhere, Cushman said, and it accepts dining bucks, he said.

The food truck can be found on campus every day, he said.

“A lot of our students are from big cities like Dallas, Austin and San Antonio where food trucks are very common,” Cushman said, “so students are familiar with them.” ➤➤@DailyToreador

Students serve as ambassadors for Tech

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

While all students attending Texas Tech are associated with the name of the university, they also belong to the smaller community of their specific colleges within Tech.

Each college has its own unique group of students, and many colleges have student ambassadors to help recruit new students and maintain connections with alumni.

Annelise Pace, a junior human development and family studies major from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and president of the College of Human Sciences Ambassadors, said she joined the organization as a freshman to be involved in a smaller community within Tech.

“The Human Sciences Ambassadors are involved in all the university sponsored recruitment events,” she said.

“We also help out with the Raider Road Shows, which are recruitment events that happen in all the major Texas cities. We represent the College of Human Sciences and the university in the community. We attend community service events at Haven Animal Shelter and the food bank.”

Students can apply to be an ambassador at the start of every semester with a paper application and the officers of the organization go through the applications and interview the students personally.

The organization currently has 23 ambassadors, and Pace said it downsized from 35 students to make the organization more prestigious.

“I really like that it involves all the majors in the College of Human Sciences,” she said. “There’s a lot of diversity

in majors. You really get to meet people in different majors who are all interested in working with families.”

Being an ambassador can seem intimidating at first, but Pace said the organization works to build a community atmosphere through social events for its members.

Alex Garcia, a senior personal financial planning major from Austin, said he has been an ambassador for the Department of Personal Financial Planning for a year.

“I just wanted to make an impact on the department and try to improve it as much as I could,” he said. “I also wanted to develop relationships with faculty.”

The organization completed its application process before spring break, and it consisted of a short application and an interview with professors and current ambassadors.

The Personal Financial Planning Ambassadors work closely with staff to set up recruitment events for the department, Garcia said, and the student ambassadors also host any students or professionals who come to visit Tech.

“I really like meeting and talking with new people,” he said. “If any undergraduate students have questions, they’ll have them contact me. I like the networking part the best.”

The organization is a good professional experience and helps students grow individually, Garcia said, and the ambassadors get to work closely with faculty as well as other professionals.

Nicole Lundberg, a junior dual major in public relations and honors arts and letters from Albuquerque, New Mexico, said she started as an Honors Ambassador

in August.

“The Honors College was what really stood out to me about Tech and made me want to come here,” she said. “It was that interaction with an Honors Ambassador and seeing how well-spoken he was and invested in the school that brought me here. I want to be that person for prospective students.”

The Honors Ambassadors are accepting applications through midnight on Friday, and Lundberg said the application consists of short-answer questions as well as an interview.

The ambassadors take shifts in the McClellan Hall, she said, and they meet with prospective students and their families to answer their questions.

“My favorite part about being an ambassador is that it reminds you how awesome Texas Tech is,” Lundberg said.

“Every time you tell someone about this cool program you’re involved in, you remember how exciting that is.”

While being an ambassador may not be for everybody, Lundberg said students who like to promote what they love should become an ambassador to give back to the university they are passionate about.

Witt Westbrook, a sophomore energy commerce major from Stephenville, said he joined the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Ambassadors because he wanted to be involved at Tech to the same degree he was involved in high school.

“When I found out about ambassadors and how well respected it was, I wanted to surround myself with those types of people,” he said. “I’m also involved in student government, and if I had to choose between them, I would

Angelina Jolie undergoes further surgery LONDON (AP) — Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie revealed Tuesday that she has undergone more preventive surgery, having her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed in hopes of reducing her risk of cancer.

possible early sign of cancer. The news was a blow to the star who had already had a double mastectomy.

probably choose Ambassadors.”

The Rawls Ambassadors are responsible for recruiting students through working at events like ConnectTech, and they work closely with alumni at various events and help the dean’s office with anything it needs.

Brandi Decker, a senior energy commerce major from Iowa Park and president of the Rawls Ambassadors, said the organization is currently taking applications through April 6. The applicants will go through first-round interviews before possibly interviewing a final time to determine if they will be selected.

“The ambassadors all deliberate and choose who they think is going to be the best fitted for the organization,” she said.

“One of my huge things is looking at their personality and people skills. We’re not always just basing it off their résumé. We want to see who they are as a person.”

The organization is composed of 30 students, Decker said, and it is important to have students showing a positive face of the college to alumni and to the communities outside of Tech.

Ashley Peterson, a senior marketing major from Fort Worth and secretary of the Rawls Ambassadors, said all the ambassadors are friendly and work to make any situation comfortable for the people they interact with.

“I remember how terrified I was coming to look at colleges, and it was getting to talk to an actual student that made me trust them more on their opinions of things,” she said. “I try to remember that when I’m giving a tour and to just put myself in their shoes. You’re speaking to fellow peers, and we’re just having fun.” ➤➤@JenRomeroDT

Opinions

Minorites should select political orientations wisely

P

olitical parties are a representation of a group of people sharing similar political interests in order to exercise political power. An individual’s choice to become affiliated with one party should be personal and valuable to their beliefs, not based on his or her race.

Recently, Stephen A. Smith, an ESPN personality host, made a statement in regards to black people voting as Republicans.

According to an article in The Washington Post, Smith said, “What I dream is that for one election, just one, every black person in America votes Republican ...”

Smith was later interviewed by CNN and explained he is disappointed with black voters’ beliefs they are limited to the Democratic Party and their absence in the Republican Party.

According to a CNN article, Smith blames Democrats for instilling fear and hate toward Republicans and blames Republicans for failing to make a diverse outreach in gaining members.

Smith makes a valid argument when it comes to choosing a political party. Many people are stuck on a belief geared toward dividing political parties by race, but these groups are created to help anyone and everyone gain a political understanding they agree with.

Chris Cillizza, political reporter for The Washington Times, agrees that since 1976, the black vote has been a huge contributor for the Democratic Party, but disagrees with Smith’s argument about Republicans failing to

Mark Tijerina

address black voters.

Cillizza, according to an article in The Washington Times, stated, “Black voters, over the course of the past few decades, have become more and more convinced that the Republican Party is not concerned about their views and, in some cases, is actively working against the community’s best interests.”

Cillizza makes an excellent point when explaining the effects this can have on the community, but many times party choices are made less out of fear and more through ignorance.

Minorities’ reluctance to become Republican may be due to their political upbringing and not their personal beliefs.

The National Social Science Association (NSSA) conducted a research study of 47 high school students. The study examined the students’ political affiliation and that of the parents’ political affiliation.

The study found 96 percent of the students matched the affiliation of their parents, concluding parents influence their child’s political view, according to the NSSA Journal website.

The history presented by Cillizza shows a correlation of solidifying their votes toward the Democratic Party.

If parents continue to influence their children’s political views, then they will continue to vote as Democrats regardless of their beliefs, thus continuing a lack of balance in political parties.

College is the perfect setting for students to find their own voices and express their personal political interests amongst peers who can relate.

By extinguishing the influence of their parents, students obtain their own political identity, which should not include the color of their skin.

Education is the key to this social and political dilemma. Every individual should be educated on his or her own political interests and then research which candidate those interests most align with before deciding to be a Democrat or Republican.

The ignorant belief of a person having to be white to be a Republican is ridiculous and only further promotes racial and ethnic stereotypes. There are plenty of white Democrats, yet they have received less criticism for being affiliated with the Democratic Party instead of the Republican Party.

Race is not a factor when it comes to choosing a political party, nor should it ever be. Any American can choose to be a part of any political party they please, as long as they hold the same political views of the party.

n March 9 of this year, 47 U.S. Senators affiliated with the Republican Party and led by Tom Cotton, a combat veteran of the Iraq War and former Arlington National Cemetery Old Guard, wrote a letter to the Iranian government informing it of the situation surrounding current talks with the executive branch. While the letter was mainly informative in nature, a petition surfaced on the White House website demanding charges of treason be brought against these 47 senators under a little-known law from 1779 called the Logan Act. This act was passed in 1779, with the only amendment being a 1994 change to the section involving the fine imposed for its violation. The law was originally passed due to one George Logan’s unauthorized negotiations with the French government during the tenure of President John Adams, in an extremely volatile time in the history of the then fledgling nation.

Many wonder what the Logan Act consists of, and it is, “Any citizen of the U.S., wherever he may be, who, without authority of the U.S., directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the U.S., or to defeat the measures of the U.S., shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects,” according to the MSNBC website.

The Logan Act is often considered potentially unconstitutional but is so rarely brought up, as it could have been regarding Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Syria in 2007, demonstrating it never gets to a particular stage in the legal world. It has never been used successfully — in fact, the last indictment under it traces back to 1803.

Part of this is, according to Steve Vladeck of American University Washington College of Law and a graduate of Yale Law School, because “the statute would simply not apply due to their position in the United States government,” according to the Harvard website.

He also points out it would be unlikely to stand up to First Amendment scrutiny. In the eyes of Mr. Vladeck, it seems no one should even be having this conversation because the Logan Act would not stand up to scrutiny in this case, if at all, accord-

John Bowles ing to the website.

So what about this petition that at the time of writing this column has 237,420 signatures? The Internet is a wonderful thing full of wonderful resources and professional opinions.

People should use it before posting their ignorance on it, or making themselves out to be fools.

This brings me to the difference between modern liberals, such as the ones who blindly signed this petition seemingly before doing any research, and classical liberals such as myself. Classical liberals believe in balancing morals, logic and emotion on the scales on self-inspection and self-education. As the great Frederic Bastiat once wrote, “Why don’t you reform yourselves? That task would be sufficient enough.”

A fundamental part of those who fall under the modern liberalism category is the vicious attack of anything that disagrees with its ideology, as if it is a religious sect sending the inquisition against heretics to seemingly avoid having to defend its position against simple logic and dissenting discourse.

Bastiat also wrote, “The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is, not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended.”

How is something ineptly defended? I could cite many examples. Attempts at the regulation of “clip-fed revolvers” have led to people attempting to regulate a weapon without any idea how to safely hold it or even having a modicum of basic education on firearms safety. When the Senator in question points a fully-automatic weapon with a drum magazine loaded,

bolt forward and finger on the trigger at a live audience, it’s pretty obvious they don’t self-educate on what they talk about.

I could also cite the example of the recent net neutrality regulation out of the Federal Communications Commission, which states all of the companies, and many of its supporters, are trying to find ways out of at the moment. They should have read it, or made sure the FCC at least released it to the public before they asked for net neutrality to be passed. It turns out the FCC wants to tax the Internet and give the money to the government.

Self-education could have prevented this, as one of the FCC commissioners put out press release after press release telling everyone exactly what was going to happen and trying to get the regulations released to the public before they were passed. I’m not even going to touch the situation’s eerie parallels to the Affordable Care Act’s regulations written in addition to the law itself.

With the power of the Internet and the will to self-educate on the subject, I easily shot down several arguments myself over this Logan Act petition, with its modern liberal adherents only being able to resort to name calling and posting ugly pictures referencing my childhood.

The Internet, and knowledge in general, are wondrous things that should celebrated, appreciated and utilized.

If nothing else, people should use the Internet to keep themselves from looking like fools when people decide to post about political drama (or any drama for that matter) online.

While you’re at it, you should read some Bastiat as well. The guy was a common sense genius. As always, if you don’t like the narrative, then change it.

Companies must enforce customer service change

H

ave you found you’ve been making money by giving out exact change when purchasing something? Have you ever wondered about how individuals are being trained to handle cash? Even though we may be living in a modern world where plastic is the new currency, the practice of excellent customer service needs to have a stronger focus from companies wanting to increase their sales.

With all the existing cons and manipulative tricks currently circling in society today, the practice of giving someone change when handling cash purchases should not be one of the tricks practiced.

S i n c e when have employers chosen to not train their cashiers to count money without a calculator? Are self-checkouts truly the answer?

Adequate job training should be an easier, implemented solution, not to mention cheaper than automated checkouts.

Is it so difficult to punch in the amount of change into the register in order to give customers their change back correctly?

As college students, we are often employed in these particular jobs to help sustain ourselves through school. I realize other things are on our minds when on the register or even when doing mundane

Kendra Kimberlin tasks, but this does not mean we shouldn’t be giving the customer or the employer the effort that is deserved or expected.

Employers are counting on you as an individual to represent their brand and values, no matter what the management may portray as a non-important task. Something to consider when working in a job through college is that these jobs often entail a situation where an employee will need to report feedback about the range of consumers that come into a store to their employer.

Knowing that his or her employees have this kind of insight is a fact every manager should be concerned with.

On the other side of the coin, as employees, we have a unique opportunity to show off the brand and or company we work for. The way an employee decides to treat people in a store helps to demonstrate to customers whether they should or should not be buying the company’s products and/or services.

I’ve often gone back to a business after a bad experience to see if I caught the employee on

an off day or to see if the person was simply just doing an analysis of the management or other consumers in the store. Doing so provides me with a better parameter of the problem, and then if still unsure, I choose to research the background of the business to see where the founders are from, what personnel are in the higher level positions driving the company, when the business was founded, etc.

A highly important way for businesses to automatically increase sales and revenues can be cheaply done by properly training employees in the area of customer service. Creating a welcoming but not badgering atmosphere is a proven way to develop loyalty among customers.

Sharane Gott of the Better Business Bureau of Acadiana shares a few tidbits of information in her article on dailyworld.com about increasing sales.

“Interact personally with customers more frequently. This may come easier in a retail business, but no matter what type of business you run, make the effort to interact with customers on a personal level as often as possible. Learn their names and one or two facts about them. People love going into a place where they feel like more than just a number.

It’s a comforting feeling for a customer and will go a long way to acquiring loyalty and appreciation,” according to the article.

Customer service based on foundations of self-serve and email receipts will not help ongoing problems in this area. Such issues are things that need a revamp of quality control in the training of employees who are currently working in these lower-level jobs.

Gregory faces tough Big 12 in first season

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

FILE PHOTO/The Daily Toreador

TEXAS TECH INFIELDER Brooke Scott hits the ball during the Jeannine McHaney Memorial Classic on Saturday in the Rocky Johnson Field.

Texas Tech defeated Mississippi Valley State 16-4.

At the end of nonconference play, the 16-17 Texas Tech softball team faces the Oklahoma Sooners at 6 p.m.

Friday at the Rocky Johnson Field to open Big 12 Conference play for the season. For Coach Adrian Gregory, Tech’s opening Big 12 game versus the Sooners marks her first Big 12 game as a coach since joining the Red Raiders this past summer.

Kansas The Kansas Jayhawks currently lead the pack with a 29-2 overall record heading into the opening of Big 12 competition. At the start of the season, the Jayhawks went on a 12-game winning streak, suffering their first loss of the season in an away game versus the Florida Gators, who currently rank No. 1 in the NCAA Women’s Softball Rating Percentage Index. Both of the Jayhawks’ losses came away from their home field, Arrocha Ballpark.

Oklahoma Tech’s opponent at the start of Big 12 play, Oklahoma, stands as the second-place finisher in Big 12 standings. Oklahoma started the season on a nine-game winning streak, and like Kansas, the Sooners finished nonconference with a perfect 9-0 record at home. The No. 23 Sooners batting average leads the conference at .386

and the team records the least amount of errors committed in the Big 12. Following their appearance in 2013-2014 season, the Sooners look for a trip to the Women’s College World Series.

Baylor The No. 25 Baylor Bears seek a trip to the World Series as the Bears fell just one round short of the finals last season, the deepest run for any Big 12 school. In the third place spot of the conference standings, the Bears tally 21 wins and six losses. Baylor currently leads the Big 12 in team pitching as the Bears boast a 2.06 ERA and have allowed the secondfewest amount of runs at 69, eight more runs than Oklahoma.

Texas The Texas Longhorns follow the Bears in the conference standings with an 18-9 nonconference record.

Last season, the Longhorns made the postseason, but failed to advance to the World Series. Texas finished last season third in the Big 12, one spot ahead of Tech, as the Longhorns finished the season with a 35-23 overall record and 12-6 Big 12 record. The Texas team batting average currently sits at second to last in the Big 12, as the Longhorns have a team batting average of .302.

Iowa State The 18-11 Iowa State Cyclones are currently in the fifth spot of the Big 12 standings. The Cyclones need just five more wins to match their 2014 win

“He’s doing a great job swinging the bat when he’s getting a pitch to hit,” Tadlock said. “He got a pitch to hit today and did a good job hitting it early in the game. He’s working hard learning to couple spots in the outfield and the infield.”

New Mexico responded with four hits in the top of the second inning and Tech committed two errors, resulting in four runs scored, two of which were unearned.

Tech’s starting pitcher Ty Damron pitched 3.2 innings before being pulled. He allowed nine hits and six runs, four earned, during that time.

Tadlock said Damron was having a hard time controlling his breaking pitches on the mound.

Sophomore center Hunter Southerland earned his first RBI of the season in the following inning, which brought the score to 4-2.

has struggled as well, as the Cowgirls tally up the most errors in the Big 12 and the second-highest ERA at 4.27 behind Tech’s 4.81.

Texas Tech Tech’s current record is below .500, and leaves the Red Raiders last in the Big 12 standings heading into the opening of conference play.

Tech faces tough competition in the Big 12 as the top three teams in the conference combine for 13 losses in nonconference play, and it looks like Gregory’s first season with the Red Raiders will be a tough one in which to get wins.
