Report details former professor’s inappropriate behavior

By KRISTEN BARTON NeWS editor

Samuel Bradley, former associate professor of advertising in the Texas Tech College of Media and Communication, was placed on paid administrative leave Wednesday at the University of South Florida.

According to a statement from USF, this happened after the university received a report from Tech on March 22 alleging Bradley had engaged in inappropriate relationships with four students during his time at Tech.

For the investigation, a committee was formed and conducted interviews with more than 20 witnesses, according to the report.

These witnesses included past and current faculty

and staff members, administrators, students and Bradley’s now ex-wife.

In the fall of 2009, Jerry Hudson, former dean of the College of Mass Communication, was approached by an employee who expressed concerns that Bradley was involved in an inappropriate and intimate relationship with a graduate student. According to the report, when Hudson asked Bradley about the relationship, he admitted the relationship involved sexual texting, emails and kissing the student.

According to the report, Bradley was seen making out with a student at a bar and the home of another graduate student.

Bradley said the student was sending the emails and messages to him, and

he agreed his behavior was wrong, according to the report.

Hudson told Bradley his behavior would not be tolerated and Bradley said he would not engage in it in the future.

According to the report, no further action was taken.

In May 2009, Bradley was in a conference in Chicago and was supposed to be staying with another male graduate student.

According to the report, he did not stay in the room.

He shared details about a sexual relationship with the student and said he called the chair in his office the “participant’s chair.”

In the spring of 2009, a graduate student was in a class with Bradley and, according to the report, he started a relationship with her.

In January 2009, the student sent a Facebook message to Bradley asking for the official title of their lab for a scholarship application. Bradley said she was the lab’s beauty queen cover model and half of her face was quite sexy, according to the report, and the photos of the conversation were attached.

According to the report, Bradley would spend time in class exchanging sexual messages with the student.

The situation escalated in Spring 2010 when the student was required to take a class with Bradley in order to graduate. The student asked the dean for permission to do an independent study course because of her involvement with Bradley and, according to the report, this request was denied.

he Color Run, an organization known for 5K runs where volunteers throw paint and colors at participants, stopped in Lubbock during its Tropicolor World Tour on Saturday at McKenzie Park.

The Color Run has hosted its 5K runs in Lubbock, and at McKenzie Park, for four years, Dane Jensen, event director of The Color Run, said. Lubbock has the aspects of the typical town The Color Run looks for to host its events.

“We always look for a town, a small town, with a good college atmosphere,” Jensen said. “Lubbock is one of those towns. It’s not big but a good-sized town.

Texas Tech is a wonderful university.”

The Color Run is a different type of 5K than people are used to, Jensen said.

There are not many that have the type of production the Color Run has, he said. This gives everyone participating, especially the college students, a unique opportunity.

“College students are looking for photo opportunities,” Jensen said. “This gives them the chance for a lot of cool photo opportunities.”

Austin Tyler, a senior business management major from Lubbock, has participated in The Color Run before with his coworkers, he said, and he ran because he wanted to be around great people and have a good time.

“I like laughing and having a good time with friends while having a good workout,” Tyler said.

This was the first Color Run for Luke Burkett, a senior business management major from Lamesa, he said. There was one major difference between a regular 5K and this one for Burkett.

Students react to DC shooting

By JOHN BOWLES Staff Writer

The Capitol in Washington, D.C., was locked down Monday afternoon after a man was shot in the Capitol Visitor Center by a Capitol police officer.

When the metal detectors at the Capitol Visitor Center entrance alerted security to a man passing through, he was stopped by security, according to CNN. When stopped, he drew a firearm on security officers at the checkpoint.

Most of the members of Congress were away from the Capitol on Monday,

BRADLEY

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 According to the report, Bradley’s wife sent the text messages the student had sent to Bradley to the student’s husband, according to the report.

The student then had an emotional breakdown and was hospitalized, according to the report. The student graduated in August 2010, after which she reported Bradley’s behavior to the Provost’s office. The office spoke to Hudson and the student, though no action was taken.

According to the report, in May 2010, Bradley was awarded tenure and promoted to associate professor. In January 2011, Bradley was named chair of the Department of Advertising.

In Spring 2012, Hudson

according to CNN, though the visitor center has many tourists and school groups visiting this week.

Congressional staffers alerted were given instructions for shelter during the event, where the Capitol complex was locked down for an hour.

The man was shot by security and transported to a hospital for treatment, and one female civilian was injured by shrapnel, according to CNN, but no U.S. Capitol police officers were harmed.

An individual trying to enter the visitor center with no prior appointment has to

go through standard security screening, Cole Adams, a junior political science, global studies and Spanish triple major from Lubbock, said. Adams interned through the Tech Congressional Intern Program for Congressmen during the fall semester of 2015.

“We would take them to the visitor’s center before we gave them a tour of the Capitol,” Mackenzie White, an agriculture and applied economics graduate student from Marble Falls, said.

White was an intern through the Tech Congressional Intern Program for Congressmen. The visitor

center is underground at the front of the Capitol.

Escorting individuals through the visitor center before tours was a typical job of interns there, White said.

Though visitors are allowed in the House of Representatives and Senate buildings, to enter the Capitol building visitors have to enter through the visitor center, White said. Guns are not allowed beyond the checkpoint there, and U.S. Capitol Police are everywhere. The Capitol police also give a safety training class to all the interns at the Capitol.

“It was a full day class that we took on safety training,” White said, “where they taught us what to do in that situation, how to manage the constituents and visitors to the capitol so that they wouldn’t be too panicked and where to find help.”

Standard security in the visitor center is similar to an airport, Adams said.

People are not allowed to bring aerosols and most liquids into the building.

Occasionally there will be a working dog, at random, throughout the building’s security areas.

Adams went through ac-

tive shooter training near the end of his internship, given by both a representative of the Sergeant at Arms office and also a member of the U.S. Capitol Police, he said.

“The first thing that came to my mind was that training on the (Capitol) Hill, and it kind of prepares you and they give you a good sense of what are the likely type of shooting situations on the Hill,” Adams said.

White said she was relieved the situation was controlled quickly and there were few injuries.

was notified of Bradley being involved in an inappropriate relationship with an undergraduate student, according to the report.

Ann Rodriguez, an instructor in the college, told Hudson that Bradley was involved with a student he went on a conference to Utah with in March 2012, according to the report. Bradley recommended the student to the Dean’s Council.

According to the report, when Hudson asked Bradley about the relationship, he denied it.

The relationship was well known throughout the college, according to the report.

After the Utah trip, Bradley moved out and his wife filed for divorce. His wife said she stopped by his residence one night and saw Bradley and the student drinking, according to the report.

Bradley admitted to the student being at his home late one night, but said they were working, according to the report. He said his wife was lying.

Bradley said there were no policies saying he could not be in a relationship with a student, according to the report.

In May 2012, Hudson asked Bradley to step down from his position as chair of the advertising department.

In the summer of 2012, Bradley met with Hudson, former Associate Dean Kevin Stoker, former Provost Bob Smith and former Vice Provost Rob Stewart to address their concerns.

On Aug. 5, 2012, Hudson met with Bradley again about his concerns and informed Bradley a formal investigation would take place, according to the report.

Bradley denied the relationships and again said there was no operating policy prohibiting relationships with

students, according to the report. Bradley was placed on administrative leave.

The report from Tech began in August 2012 and was conducted to see if Bradley had violated operating procedures for inappropriate conduct with a student, according to the report.

The committee investigating the incident notified Bradley of the investigation and gave him the opportunity to meet with the committee and provide anyone who would have knowledge on the matter, according to the report, though Bradley did not speak to the committee or provide any information.

On Dec. 11, 2012, the investigation was concluded and Bradley was notified the finding said he violated University Operating Policies 32.33 and 32.01 and Regent’s Rules 3.01 and 3.02, according to the report.

Operating Policy 32.33 states spouses, parents or

those involved in other affectional relationships must not serve on committees evaluating their partners, spouses or other close relationships.

Operating Policy 32.01 defines the terms of tenure for a faculty or staff member.

Texas Tech provided the report.

According to a statement from Chris Cook, managing director of the Office of Communications and Marketing, the report does not show or explain how Bradley left the university. His departure was handled after the report.

“Texas Tech followed a process relating to issues involving Dr. Bradley and acted appropriately upon them,” Cook said in an email.

Bradley was hired at USF in August 2013 as a visiting professor and the interim director of the Zimmerman Advertising Program.

“We are very proud of the Zimmerman School of Advertising and Mass Communica-

tions and remain deeply committed to its students, vision and goals. We firmly believe in the school’s future and moving forward we remain undeterred in our mission to make it one of the finest in the country,” Eric Eisenberg, dean of the USF College of Arts and Sciences, said in a statement. “On Tuesday, March 22, 2016, we learned of information regarding a current employee of the school. This information was not disclosed during the hiring process, either by the employee or the employee’s former employer. Now that the university has this information, it will be carefully reviewed and an appropriate response will be determined.

In the meantime, the employee has been placed on paid administrative leave.”

In July 2013, David Perlmutter took over as dean of the College of Media and Communication.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Hillary Clinton said Monday that the future of the Supreme Court would hang in the balance of the 2016 election, warning that Republican front-runner Donald Trump would bring division to the court if he was allowed to shape its future.

Clinton said Trump would roll back the rights of individuals and further empower corporations, pointing to his past statements about building a wall along the Mexican border and barring all noncitizen Muslims from entering the United States.

“In a single term, the Supreme Court could demol-

ish pillars of the progressive movement,” Clinton said at the University of Wisconsin.

She pointed to the possibility of a Trump presidency, asking, “What kind of justice will a President Trump appoint?”

Clinton opened a two-day campaign trip in Wisconsin ahead of the state’s April 5 primary with a topic certain to unite Democrats whether they support her or Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders: President Barack Obama’s nomination of Judge Merrick Garland.

Republicans have said that the late Justice Antonin Scalia should not be replaced until the next president picks a nominee.

But Clinton argued it was reminiscent of GOP-led gridlock that stymied Obama’s two terms.

“We chose a president. We chose him twice,” Clinton said.

“And now Republicans in the Senate are acting like our votes didn’t count and President Obama is not still our nation’s leader.”

She called on Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley of Iowa to commit to giving Garland a hearing and she rebuked Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, who is among the Republicans blocking the Garland nomination. “Tell him to stop playing games with the Supreme Court,” Clinton said,

noting Johnson’s 2016 challenge from former Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold.

Grassley, speaking ahead of Clinton’s remarks, said she was trying to divert attention from her “email troubles,” referencing probes into her use of a private email system as secretary of state.

“This is simply a blatant attempt by Secretary Clinton to politicize the Supreme Court and to change the conversation,” Grassley said in a statement. “Her actions as Secretary of State are under investigation by Congress, two Obama-appointed inspectors general, and the FBI.”

Lawsuit challenges anti-discrimination law RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Gay and transgender rights supporters wasted little time in challenging a new North Carolina law, filing a lawsuit Monday that called it discriminatory and said it singles out LGBT people for

“disfavored treatment.”

The law, which has also drawn strong opposition from major corporations, was signed last week by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory. He has resolutely stood behind the law and later Monday

blamed the outcry on a “wellcoordinated campaign” trying to stain the state’s reputation.

The bill signing came after the GOP-controlled legislature completed a one-day special session in response to a broad Charlotte ordinance that al-

lowed transgender people to use the restroom aligned with their gender identity. The new state law prevents cities and counties from extending protections to cover sexual orientation and gender identity at restaurants, hotels and stores.

Police joke nets at least 1 drug arrest DALLAS (AP) — The joke has shown up on police department Facebook pages in at least two states: Anyone in possession of methamphetamine or other illegal drugs should stop by the police station for testing because the drugs might somehow contain Ebola.

In Granite Shoals, Texas, one such post, labeled a “Breaking News Alert” in block letters, was shared thousands of times.

It even netted an arrest, which the local police department then reported on its Facebook page.

Police say threats about “Ebola meth” are a fun, harmless version of bait cars or other stings they set up to catch criminals in the act, even if the joke alludes to what was once an actual global public health crisis.

“We did have several people actually contact us to find out if there really was Ebola in the meth,” Mitch Bratton, the police chief in Grayson, Louisiana, said in an interview Monday.

Threat of fires increases in parts of Texas AMARILLO (AP) — Experts say dry, gusty conditions in parts of Texas have increased the threat for wildfires this week.

The Texas A&M Forest Service on Monday announced critical fire weather conditions are expected over the Texas Plains region through Wednesday.

The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has issued an alert increasing the wildfire potential for the Amarillo, Lubbock, Midland-Odessa, Fort Stockton and El Paso areas.

The Forest Service says increased fire activity could happen due to sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph combining with abovenormal seasonal temperatures.

The forecast for the region includes partly cloudy and windy with highs near 80 on Tuesday. Officials also cite low relative humidity.

for us to talk about the dangers of meth,” Bratton said, adding that in his town, “meth is most definitely a lot bigger problem than any chance of Ebola.”

Some version of the threat of “Ebola meth” has shown up in at least four other states, according to the website Snopes, which tracks and debunks Internet hoaxes.

An often fatal virus, Ebola last caused global panic two years ago when an outbreak in West Africa killed more than 10,000 people, according to the World Health Organization.

One person who fell sick in the United States died: a Liberian man who ended up in the hospital days after arriving in Dallas. Two nurses who treated him became infected but survived.

Disease experts say Ebola is spread through contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person. But the police in Granite Shoals urged people not to take their joke too seriously.

“We at the GSPD like to show all parts of the enforcement world on Face-

book and that includes our sense of humor,” the department said in one post.

The department, which did not respond to several calls Monday seeking comment, said on Facebook that the “winner of the Facebook post challenge” was Chasity Hopson, a 29-year-old woman now charged with possession of less than 1 gram of a controlled substance.

Hopson was being held on $5,000 bond. She did not have a lawyer listed in court records who could comment on her behalf and several phone numbers listed for her were disconnected.

Clint McNear, a law enforcement consultant and retired police officer, compared “Ebola meth” posts to a tactic he once used: calling a person with an outstanding warrant to say someone had turned in a wallet full of cash with the person’s name on it.

“Clever ideas to catch criminals (are) not new,” McNear said. “And as the criminal evolves, law enforcement evolves with them.”

Arbor Day Texas Tech is set to take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 29 at Memorial Circle.

The event is sponsored

by Student Union and Activities, Center for Campus Life, Grounds Maintenance, Hospitality Services, Tech Activities Board, TTU Ethics Center and the Office of Sustainability and Operations Division, according to Tech’s website.

The event has been a tradition since 1937 when President Bradford Knapp decided to dedicate one day in the spring to beautifying campus and bringing people together, according to Tech’s website.

Claire Maginness, assistant director of student activities and Tech Activities Board, said this event is an

opportunity for the campus community to give back.

“It’s important for students to participate in this because it’s giving back to your campus,” Maginness said. “It gives students the opportunity to come together and beautify it and really make the campus look good for visitors, as well as yourself. It’s the opportunity to get your hands dirty and get involved with what it means to be a beautiful campus.”

Maginness said organizers have been working on the event since February and have many different activities planned, such as a concert featuring Cas Haley, recycled bottle cap keychain art and flower planting around campus.

Free T-shirts and food will also be available to students with their Tech ID, and the event is open to all students, faculty and staff. Faculty and staff may purchase a T-shirt for $5, according to Tech’s website.

Maginness said they are hoping for a big turnout at this year’s event.

“We already have 1,700 people registered,” Maginness said. “There’s two weeks left to sign up but we already have a lot of people so I think it will be really fun.”

Registration forms can be found online at Tech Activities Board’s OrgSync page. The registration form is for planting spots only, and will be open until 5 p.m. April 13. @JessicaGuedeaDT

New NASA launch control software late, over budget CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Launch control software under development for NASA’s deep-space exploration program is more than a year behind schedule and tens of millions of dollars above projected costs, according to an internal audit released Monday.

NASA’s own inspector general conducted the audit at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center, where the agency hopes to launch its nextgeneration rocket on a test flight in 2018.

The goal is to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s, using this supersize Space Launch System, or SLS, rocket and an Orion capsule.

The 2018 SLS premiere will include an unmanned Orion;

the first Orion with a crew should launch five years later.

NASA has agreed to an independent review once software is delivered for the 2018 test flight. In the meantime, officials said they have instituted improvements. Inspector General Paul Martin deems that satisfactory and considers the matter resolved.

Software needed to support SLS and Orion is experiencing the same startup trouble as previous command and control software programs, the audit found.

Development of this new launch control software is now projected to exceed $207 million, 77 percent above 2012 projections.

The software won’t be

ready until fall 2017, instead of this summer as planned, and important capabilities like automatic failure detection, are being deferred, the audit noted. The system is vital, needed to control pumps, motors, valves and other ground equipment during countdowns and launches, and to monitor data before and during liftoff.

NASA decided to write its own computer code to “glue together” existing software products a decade ago — while space shuttles still were flying and commercial shippers had yet to service the space station. Both delivery companies, SpaceX and Orbital ATK, rely on commercial software, the audit noted.

Tech mishandles moral, ethical issues on campus

H

ow much of a moral disgrace must there be for Texas Tech to actually take a stand?

Former Tech professor Samuel Bradley was placed on administrative leave at the University of South Florida last week after the school received a report from Tech detailing Bradley’s inappropriate and sexual relationships with multiple students at Tech between 2009 and 2012.

According to the university investigating committee’s report, Bradley admitted to one such relationship before being promoted to chair of the advertising department in 2011 — and there were other relationships as well.

For some reason, Bradley was barely punished, which seems to be part of a pattern.

When a banner reading, “No Means Yes, Yes Means Anal” was displayed at a Phi Delta Theta fraternity party in September 2014, Tech levied no punishment against any individuals involved, nor against the fraternity itself. The university just allowed the national fraternity to handle the punishment and then proceeded to create more bureaucracy to regulate Greek life.

When former Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration Dean Lance Nail was caught improperly changing students’ grades last year, he was only asked to resign as dean while being allowed to remain on the faculty, even though a university report showed he attempted to bully people into lying to the investigating committee.

Now the Bradley situation

has come to light, and again the university did nothing, despite his egregious and disgusting behavior.

According to the report, Bradley engaged in inappropriate relationships with two female graduate students in 2009 — and he was married at the time. Both were students in his classes. One relationship allegedly involved “encounters” on campus and on conference trips, while the other involved sexually explicit emails and texts, including the student sending nude photos of herself to Bradley.

Bradley would even text the student (referred to in the report as GS2) during class, and would brag about his escapades to other graduate students, according to the report.

However, once Jerry Hudson, then-dean of the College of Mass Communications (now College of Media and Communication) was notified of the relationship with GS2, he spoke with Bradley, who admitted to the relationship but argued the student initiated it. According to the report, once Hudson told Bradley the behavior was unacceptable, no further action was taken.

To make matters worse, when GS2 realized in November 2009 that she had to take another class with Bradley in order to graduate, she requested to take an Independent Study course instead — a request that was flatly denied by the dean, according to the report. Bradley re-initiated the relationship in the spring of 2010 after she began his class, which culminated in GS2 being hospitalized as a result of an emotional breakdown after Bradley’s wife sent text messages between GS2 and Bradley to GS2’s husband.

Yet in spite of all this, and in spite of GS2’s attempts to inform the university of what happened, Bradley was awarded tenure in May 2010 and named chair of the Department of Advertising in January 2011, according to the report.

Unsurprisingly, Bradley’s behavior surfaced again. In April 2012, Hudson was informed that Bradley was having an affair with an undergraduate student who had taken three courses with Bradley and even attended a conference with him, according to the report. In fact, Bradley and the student were the only people from the college to attend this conference, and once they returned, he bragged about having sex with her.

There were also problems between Bradley and a male graduate student. While the two were very close for a period of time, Bradley then began sleeping with the student’s ex-girlfriend, according to the report, and suspected the student of spreading rumors about him.

Bradley retaliated by refusing to work on the student’s dissertation, causing his graduation to be delayed.

When Hudson brought up the affair with the undergraduate student, Bradley

professed to having done nothing wrong and claimed there was no operating policy prohibiting his behavior, and contended his ex-wife and the male graduate student were spreading rumors. At least this time, something was done — Bradley was asked to resign as advertising department chair, and an investigation soon followed.

Once the investigation concluded Bradley violated university policy, it is unclear what exactly happened. It seems he was allowed to quietly leave Tech for a visiting professor job at South Florida, which just last week found out about his past.

The obvious question is why Bradley was not fired upon first admitting to having an improper relationship with a student in 2009. It’s clear that by not punishing him in any meaningful way, Tech condoned his repulsive behavior, which affected one student’s job opportunities and caused another to have an emotional breakdown, become suicidal and possibly lose her marriage.

Even if the students were the ones who initiated the relationships (though we are not at all inclined to believe Bradley’s supposed “defenses”), a professor should have the moral compass and the fortitude to put a stop to it. Any such relationship between a professor and a student is inherently wrong because one party has authority over the other, and that can easily be used as leverage.

In any situation like this, regardless of the extent of the relationship or who started it, Tech should have no hesitation in removing the professor from his or her position. It certainly shouldn’t give out promotions to anyone who has admitted to having such a relationship, yet certain university officials decided to do so.

This begs the question as to why Tech didn’t respond swiftly and firmly, and the question is compounded by the university’s refusal to take an appropriate stance during the Phi Delta Theta banner and Nail grade-changing incidents. At what point will Tech take decisive action upon the revelation of a moral and ethical outrage?

With these occurrences, Tech not only looks soft on rape culture, improper grading procedures and bullying, but also appears to be lenient on sexual harassment and improper relationships between faculty and students.

This image is damaging not just to the university itself, but to all those affiliated with it, including students, faculty, alumni and fans.

The Bradley report seems to be another scenario where a person or group on this campus largely escaped punishment for an unacceptable action. If this is truly indicative of how Tech operates, we should all be ashamed that our university refuses to punish those who deserve it the most. @DailyToreador

Rising cost of tuition should mean core curriculum change

W

hile college tuition continues to skyrocket and the promise of a decent job after college seems questionable at best, many have offered their solutions to the problems plaguing higher education.

Some politicians suggest free college, while others suggest lowering the amount of government-student loans given out.

However, the easiest, quickest solution to improving higher education in Texas is reforming the core curriculum requirements for Texas universities.

On the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s website, it is stated that the core curriculum exists to give students a basic range of skills, such as reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking, as well as to broaden a student’s perspective and grow the student’s knowledge of the world.

Unfortunately, the current core curriculum classes largely fail to accomplish these tasks and instead serve as a large waste of money and time for many students.

Of course, there are a few of the core curriculum classes that may benefit students.

The required English classes allow us to write better, speech classes improve our speaking abilities and a few other core curriculum classes may help us out in our professional life.

However, the only positive attribute most of these classes gave me is the resilience not to give up during the most mundane, irrelevant classwork.

The biggest problem that plagues core curriculum requirements today is that with college prices so high and the job market so competitive, few students have reason to care about the daunting number of core classes we need to take.

Not only are natural science classes irrelevant to a student majoring in dance, they are costing him or her a large amount of money, as

well as time that could be spent working or studying.

For an engineering student, a creative arts class such as songwriting may be enlightening, but it could just as well be a trivial chore.

Some may argue the core curriculum is essential for expanding students’ viewpoints and cultural understanding, and I would agree with them if the core curriculum were actually accomplishing this.

College should be for expanding one’s understanding of the world, gaining awareness of what profession one should pursue and developing the knowledge to be an intelligent citizen.

Unfortunately, core curriculum classes seem to rarely give students all the information they need to become wise, educated citizens.

The American Council of Trustees and Alumni has been studying the quality of education American students are receiving in universities for years, and its report, “What Will They Learn,” showed that few universities give their students the satisfying general education that core curriculum was invented to give.

I know for a fact that Tech offers some great courses for students to fulfill their core curriculum requirements, and the few lucky students to enroll in those classes will probably learn a whole lot.

For the rest of the students who are forced to sign up for other classes (as the good classes always fill up first), they are stuck wasting their time and money, and often learning little.

Perhaps a few students may discover their hidden love

for Russian culture or physical geography when they are forced to take these classes, but this is at the expense of the rest of the student population.

Furthermore, if anyone is wondering whether these classes actually help us in the long run, ask any college senior or alumni what they remember about the core curriculum classes they took freshman year, and the answer will become evident.

It seems the only classes with a lasting impact are the few classes in the humanities, which only fulfill a few requirements in the long list of core curriculum requirements.

I remember my freshman year I took the required American public policy class, and I was incredibly excited to learn and discuss how our nation worked.

As it turned out, I spent the whole semester copying definitions from a PowerPoint with 200 other students, and now I hardly remember anything we were taught.

To think I could have been using this time to explore majors I was interested in or taking classes that would be relevant to my well-being as an American citizen, such as a personal finance or additional writing classes, I regret having to take so many useless classes during my first two years of college.

As college tuition continues to rise, the quality of education we receive in college will come under increasing scrutiny.

Growing students from teenagers into practical, educated citizens is important, but there are other ways to go about it than the costly, ineffective core curriculum system we have implemented now.

When the conversation eventually turns to improving the higher education system, we should quickly push to reform the core curriculum requirements, as they desperately need change. jmiller@dailytoreador.com

Recent Disney movie disappoints, very different from previous films

A

Little did I know I would spend nearly the entire duration of the film loudly expressing my immediately discovered and continuously reaffirmed hatred for it.

‘Batman v. Superman’ entertaining but forgettable

I

t is not normal for superhero blockbusters to be released in the first quarter of the year.

Movies released during this time are usually just placeholders for the big releases in the summer, movies that will not get much buzz, other than the occasional exception like “The Lego Movie,” released in the first quarter of 2014. That is why it was so surprising to see the March release of the newest film in the DC Comics canon, “Batman v.

Superman: Dawn of Justice.” But, this film was just like most of the other films released during this time period — entertaining but forgettable.

Directed by Zack Snyder, “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” was released on Friday in theaters nationwide.

Henry Cavill reprised his role as Clark Kent/Superman, while Ben Affleck

RUN

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “The major difference between running in a regular 5K and running in this one is breathing normally,” Burkett said. “There is so much color thrown in your face. But it is a lot of fun and is worth it.”

Tyler said he also sees a major difference between a regular 5K and this one.

“At the other 5Ks I have run, people are not as excited about it as they are for this one,” Tyler said.

Volunteers are the ones who throw the color and the paint at the participants running the race, Jensen said. Local charities are the ones who recruit the volunteers.

“We partner with a local charity in every single city we do the run in,” Jensen said. “We partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of Lubbock. We donate a large portion of our proceeds to them and they do the recruiting for the volunteers.”

One of the volunteers, Kayla Foster, a sophomore restaurant, hotel and institutional management major from The Woodlands, heard about it through Gamma Beta Phi, she said.

took the reins as the newest Bruce Wayne/Batman since the excellent Dark Knight Trilogy.

Based off Frank Miller’s 1986 comic book series, “The Dark Knight Returns,” Affleck portrays a different Bruce Wayne than one the viewer is used to. This film shows Wayne as a 40-ish alcoholic bachelor still recovering from all the depression and darkness he has gone through.

Affleck does a nice job of playing Wayne. He brings the right amount of mystery and sadness behind a character who has been played so many different ways. Once Affleck dons Foster has never participated in The Color Run before, she said. When she saw pictures of people covered in color, she knew she wanted to participate.

“I thought, why not make people happy and throw color at them and get covered myself?” Foster said.

As well as throwing the color at the end of the race, Foster said she encouraged the racers as they finished.

“We just whoop and holler and tell them that they are finished,” she said. “We just cover them in color because that is what they want.”

The Color Run does not only advertise toward college students, Jensen said. The whole Lubbock community participates in the race.

“We are very popular amongst families,” Jensen said. “Our highest demographic is women ages 18 to 30, and they bring their children out as well. We have a lot of young families out as well, either if they are in grad school or working in or around the university.”

Jensen said he hopes to return to Lubbock during the next tour of the Color Run. “It’s a lot of fun to come back to Lubbock,” Jensen said. @DavidGayDT

Rolling Stones perform for massive Cuban crowd HAVANA (AP) — The Rolling Stones unleashed two hours of shrieking, thundering rock and roll on an ecstatic crowd of hundreds of thousands of Cubans and foreign visitors Friday night, capping one of the most momentous weeks in modern Cuban history with a massive celebration of music that was once forbidden here.

The week opened with the arrival of President Barack Obama in Air Force One, accompanied by more than 1,000 employees of a government that waged a cold war against Cuba for more than 50 years. This time, U.S. forces were armed with briefing books and press invitations, here to seal the president’s 2014 opening to Cuba with a string of expertly crafted public events that saw Obama call for democracy live on state television, then attend a Major League Baseball exhibition game with Cuban President Raul Castro.

The week ended with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and C h a r l i e Wa t t s f i r i n g “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” ‘’Sympathy for the Devil” and “Satisfaction” into a jubilant crowd from 3-story-tall high-definition television

screens and thumping towers of speakers.

From Sunday evening to late Friday night, it felt as if the full force of the 21st century had landed with bonerattling impact on an island that still feels mostly cut off from the modern world.

“Havana, Cuba, and the Rolling Stones!” Jagger cried. “This is amazing! It’s really good to be here! It’s good to see you guys!”

The Stones romped through 18 of their classics, picking up force as the crowd in the open-air Ciudad Deportiva, or Sports City, jumped and chanted “Rollings! Rollings!”

The Rolling Stones were the biggest mainstream rock act to play in Cuba since its 1959 revolution brought a communist government to power and isolated the island from the United States and its allies. At its heyday, Cuba’s communist government frowned on U.S. and British bands. Fans had to hide their Beatles and Stones albums in covers borrowed from albums of appropriately revolutionary Cuban groups.

But times have changed.

Former supermodel Naomi Campbell, actor Richard Gere and singer Jimmy Buffet partied in the VIP section of the concert.

the Batman suit though, it seems as if the character completely changes. He becomes a regular, state-ofthe-art Batman. There was nothing different Affleck brought to the actual superhero scenes. If Affleck brought the same level of performance to Batman as he did to Wayne, the movie as a whole would have been much better.

Out of such a mundane plot, one would never think they would see such a fantastic performance by a villain.

Cavill once again portrayed Clark Kent/Superman and was terrible, just like his performance in the dreadful 2013 film, “Man of Steel.” Once again, both

Cavill and Amy Adams, who portrayed his uninteresting wife Lois Lane, put no heart into their performances. But, it was not totally their fault. The lines that both Kent and Lane were given throughout the film were some of the worst script work in any superhero movie, at least since the “Fantastic Four” catastrophe with Chris Evans and Jessica Alba.

It seemed as if the screenwriters, Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer, gave up on the interesting story arch they could have given Superman and gave him and his wife the most stereotypical and cliché storyline.

But there were aspects of this film that were exciting to see. Out of such a mundane plot, one would never think they would see such a fantastic performance by a villain. This fantastic performance comes from

Jesse Eisenberg. As Lex Luthor, Eisenberg brings a sense of eccentricity as well as a high level of intensity to the role like no one has portrayed Luthor before. This performance was a breath of fresh air throughout a movie chockfull of clichés and predictable plot points.

Wonder Woman, played

by Gal Gadot, was also an exciting part of the film. In her introduction, she brought the sense of mystery behind a character whose origin story is not known by the typical viewer. Her interactions with Wayne were exciting and suspenseful. Her portrayal brought a sense of hope to the DC franchise as a whole.

The other aspect of the film that was great was the special effects. The last fight scene, with Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, was one of the most visually striking fight

scenes in a superhero movie in a long time. Snyder, known for visually striking movies including “Watchmen,” “Sucker Punch” and “300,” showed in these final scenes why he was hired in the first place.

“Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” is not the worst superhero movie in the world. It is not the worst DC movie in the canon — that one goes to “Man of Steel.” But, after a few months when the next crop of superhero movies come out this summer, this film will be long forgotten.

While it was entertaining while watching, the clichés and overall horrendous acting performances will outshine the visually striking effects and the fantastic performance by Jesse Eisenberg. Hopefully DC will redeem itself with the release of “Suicide Squad” in August. @DavidGayDT

Trump’s frequent TV telephone interviews in spotlight NEW YORK (AP) — In television news, a telephone interview is typically frowned upon. Donald Trump’s fondness for them is changing habits and causing consternation in news-

rooms, while challenging political traditions.

Two organizations are circulating petitions to encourage Sunday morning political shows to hang up on Trump. Some prominent

holdouts, like Fox’s Chris Wallace, refuse to do on-air phoners. Others argue that a phone interview is better than no interview at all.

Except in news emergencies, producers usually

avoid phoners because television is a visual medium — a face-to-face discussion between a newsmaker and questioner is preferable to a picture of an anchor listening to a disembodied voice.

Tech captures series sweep of Oklahoma

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

After winning 13-7 on Saturday afternoon, the No. 23 Texas Tech baseball team swept Oklahoma and has won its first two Big 12 Conference series of the season.

This marks the first time in school history that the team has done so.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock said his main concern is not capturing a sweep in a series, but giving the team’s best in every game is.

“We won’t make more out of it than it was. Really we are just trying to win (each day),” he said. “We are just trying to play good baseball.”

The three-game series started on Thursday night.

Tech claimed a 5-0 victory behind six shutout innings from freshman right-handed pitcher Davis Martin.

T h u r s d a y ’s s h u t o u t against the Sooners was the first for the Red Raiders since 1991, according to the Tech Athletics website.

Martin allowed three hits over the six innings and struck out seven batters. Junior southpaw Hayden Howard finished off the shutout by allowing only one hit and striking out five batters over the final three innings.

“Going out I had a pretty good feel and we were really excited and the adrenaline was going,” Davis said. “I overall felt really well.”

The Tech offense hung four runs on Oklahoma in the first inning and forced starting right-handed pitcher Alec Hansen off the mound after he recorded two outs.

Only one Red Raider had more than one hit in the game, but each of the five RBIs came from different players.

Despite the shutout win,

Tadlock said his team still had work to do against the Sooners.

“We got a game and all this will be over with tomorrow,” Tadlock said. “We need to go 1 and 0 tomorrow.”

Tech did go undefeated on Friday with a 6-1 win.

Once again, a freshman pitcher gave the Red Raiders a strong start. Southpaw Steven Gingery tossed a career-high seven innings and allowed one run on three hits and six strikeouts.

“Honestly, (the game plan) is just always pitch to contact, try to get ahead,” Gingery said. “Pitching with the lead just always helped you out. Just lets you throw your pitches wherever you want.”

Gingery was able to pitch with the lead because Tech scored in the first inning again.

Sophomore infielder Michael Davis gave the Red Raiders a second run in the second inning when he roped a RBI single down the right field line.

Tech put the game out of reach with three runs in the fifth inning that started with back-to-back basesloaded walks.

“We were just trying to get our pitch to hit. See a lot of pitches, get deep in the count,” junior outfielder Stephen Smith said. “When we got our pitch, we put a good swing on it. One through nine did very good for us today.”

Smith recorded the final run of the game with a deep solo home run over the left field wall. For the second game in a row, all of the RBIs came from different players.

With the win, Tech improved its conference record to 4-1, which was the best start since 1999.

In front of a sellout crowd of 4,432 on Saturday, the Red Raiders started their

Tar Heels race to Final Four PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Roy Williams will take his postgame injuries as long as he and the North Carolina Tar Heels are headed to the Final Four.

The Hall of Fame coach bit his tongue and cut a finger during the net-cutting ceremonies after the Tar Heels beat Notre Dame 88-74 on Sunday night, leaving them as the only No. 1 seed in the Final Four.

“I was screaming. I started to take a step back and I felt like the ladder moved and I grabbed.

When I grabbed I grabbed the end of the scissors and it started bleeding,” he said.

That’s OK since his team will head to Houston.

“Never in my life have I wanted something for someone else as I wanted to get these guys to Houston,” he said.

Brice Johnson had 25 points and 12 rebounds as the Tar Heels reached the Final Four for a record 19th time and the first since 2009, when they won the last of their five national championships.

Freshman right-handed pitcher Ty Harpenau did not have the start he had hoped for as he was pulled from the game after one and one-third innings and ultimately allowed five runs.

Oklahoma posted three runs in both the first and second innings and Tech trailed 6-1 before storming back in the following innings.

Senior Cory Raley was a large part of the comeback effort with two hits, two walks and three RBIs. “Our team has a lot of experience. We got a lot of guys that have played a lot of baseball,” Raley said. “The second inning, you can’t really start counting us out. There’s a lot of game left.”

In the third inning, senior outfielder Tyler Neslony picked up a RBI with a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded. Junior infielder Ryan Long highlighted the five-run inning with a two RBI single.

The tie was broken in the next inning when Davis scored on a wild pitch and sophomore infielder Orlando Garcia recorded a two RBI single as Tech scored four more runs.

At the conclusion of the inning, both teams’ benches and bullpens cleared as there was almost a fight.

“I love it, I absolutely love (the emotion),” Howard said.

“It fuels everybody. Nothing pumps you up more than having your coach out there, getting your back like that.”

The Red Raiders continued to pile up the runs in the fifth inning with three more.

Sophomore outfielder Tanner Gardner hit a double in the inning for his fifth three hit game of the season.

No. 9 Red Raiders fall to Rice, 4-3

The No. 9 Texas Tech men’s tennis team had its six-match winning streak snapped by Rice on Sunday at the George R. Brown Tennis Center, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

The matchup was the last true road test for the Red Raiders before they begin Big 12 Conference play. Tech’s record now stands at 21-3 on the sea-

son and 1-2 on the road.

Rice won its ninth consecutive invitational title, according to the release, and ended a 12-match losing streak to teams ranked in the top 10.

“Rice won bigger points than us,” Tech coach Brett Masi said in the release.

“Rice deserved to win that match. They fought hard and kept coming at us. If we want to have success

in conference play, we’ll have to do a better job of taking advantage of our opportunities.”

Rice jumped out to an early 1-0 lead after the doubles portion of the match, but Tech fought back to tie the game.

However, the Owls captured victories on courts five and six to take a 3-1 lead.

Senior Felipe Soares and sophomore Alex Sen-

degeya rallied on their respective courts to tie the match at 3 apiece.

Rice closed out the match with a victory by freshman Jake Hansen at the fourth spot, according to the release.

Holliday hits 1st spring home run, Cardinals beat Mets JUPITER (AP) — Matt Holliday hit his first home run this spring, a long drive off Bartolo Colon that helped the St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Mets 3-1 Monday.

Holliday’s shot hit the Marlins clubhouse beyond the left field wall. The Marlins and Cardinals share the complex.

Holliday later singled and scored in the fourth inning.

That was all the work the 12-year veteran needed for the day.

“Some of them need

to go nine (innings) and some of them maybe not so much,” manager Mike Matheny said. “He puts together a homer and another laser — that’s a good day to just get out.”

Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez gave up one run and three hits in six innings. He walked none and struck out four.

Martinez finished his outing by throwing a fastball past Yoenis Cespedes.

“That’s a good fastball hitter,” Matheny said. “I thought it was just a great outing.”

Colon allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings.

Neil Walker doubled and scored the Mets’ run.

Playing his first Grapefruit League game since straining his knee on March 10, Mets shortstop as Asdrubal Cabrera went hitless in three at-bats.

St. Louis won for only the second time since March 12. The Mets’ loss broke a string of three consecutive ties, and left them winless in 11 games.

Colon threw 68 of his 92 pitches for strikes. After-

ward, Colon said he could pitch out of the bullpen for New York’s first two games of the season in Kansas City.

Martinez will pitch in a minor league game for St. Louis on Saturday before rejoining the club for the season opener in Pittsburgh.

Catcher Yadier Molina was scratched from the starting lineup because of a bruised toe suffered in the weight room.

Matheny said he is day to day. Reliever Jordan Walden made his first appearance since March 21.

Foster to meet with Dolphins MIAMI (AP) — Running backs have proved elusive this offseason for the Miami Dolphins, who are now pursuing free agent Arian Foster.

A person familiar with the situation said Foster has agreed to meet Tuesday with the Dolphins, who have had trouble finding a replacement for Lamar Miller. The person confirmed the visit to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the Dolphins have not commented on the upcoming meeting.

Foster is recovering from surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon and has said he plans to play this season.

He made the Pro Bowl four

times in seven years with the Houston Texans, who released him this month after he missed 12 games last season because of injuries.

Miller subsequently signed with the Texans, and the Dolphins need a replacement to complement second-year running back Jay Ajayi. Former NFL rushing champion Chris Johnson visited Miami but decided to stay with Arizona, and after the Dolphins signed C.J. Anderson to an offer sheet, Denver matched.

Foster rushed for a franchise-record 6,472 yards with the Texans and added 2,268 yards on receptions.

Tech swept on road trip against Arizona State

BY DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

Nearing the start of Big 12 competition, the Texas Tech softball team dropped a three-game away series against the No. 21 Arizona State Sun Devils, according to a Tech Athletics release.

Tech opened the series Thursday afternoon at Farrington Stadium in a close contest against the Sun Devils.

In the first inning, a homer placed Arizona State ahead and in its following turn at bat, Arizona State secured a pair of runs by bringing home a runner on a double and then hitting another single for the second run of the inning.

The Sun Devils maintained the lead by keeping Tech from scoring for six innings before freshman third baseman Jessica Hartwell homered to cut the lead to 3-1 at the top of the seventh.

Tech placed one more runner

on board, but a groundout and flyout closed the win for the host team.

Friday afternoon, Arizona State clinched the series by making a seventh inning comeback for the win.

Two innings in, Arizona State scored the first run of the game by hitting a home run, but for the next three innings, the Sun Devils stayed off the board. Taking advantage of the scoreless string of innings, Tech grabbed a 2-1 lead by picking up runs at the top of the fifth and sixth.

On a single from freshman left fielder Kiani Ramsey, junior shortstop Brooke Scott made her way around the bases after reaching base on a walk and advancing to third on a single. Hartwell homered at the top of the sixth to give Tech the go ahead, but Arizona State tied it back up in their next at bat on a home run.

Playing small ball, junior Camaury Washington,

who pinch ran for junior catcher Susan Welborn, brought in a run for a 3-2 Tech lead on a sac-fly, but in the final inning, the Sun Devils tied the game on another homer and placed two on for a walk-off sac-fly.

On the final day of the series, a major third inning performance pushed Arizona State to a 7-4 win Saturday afternoon.

Adding to the series home run total, Arizona batted one in at the bottom of the first, but allowed Tech to tie the game on a homer from freshman designated player Karli Hamilton.

The Red Raiders took a go-ahead run in the third inning on a pair of singles, sac-bunt and another single to bring Scott around.

To undo the damage done at the top of the third, a grand slam put the Sun Devils ahead 5-2, and a double, steal and single increased Arizona State 6-2.

FOOTBALL

Kingsbury, Mahomes give quarterback updates

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

Over the weekend, Texas Tech football coach Kliff Kingsbury said an injury to redshirt junior quarterback Nic Shimonek could change the depth chart for the quarterbacks next season.

On National Signing Day, Kingsbury said he hoped to have Shimonek as the backup to junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes II and redshirt freshman quarterback Jett Duffey.

Shimonek’s injury last week could force Duffey to be the immediate backup.

“It really could (change things). (Duffey) has picked it up fast. He’s doing a great job running the system,” Kingsbury said. “I’ve been very pleased with the way Jett (Duffey) has handled himself.”

Shimonek is expected to miss about a week or two of practice.

Regardless of whether Duffey is redshirted, Kingsbury said he is going to have quarterbacks prepared to play at all times.

“I’m going to get three guys ready with Payne (Sullins) being ready as well. You see what happened to Baylor

last year,” he said. “You got to have three or four guys ready to go out there and operate your system.”

While the backup quarterback position is still uncertain, Mahomes has continued to improve as a starter.

As a sophomore, Mahomes recorded more than 5,000 yards of total offense, but Kingsbury said he is improving mentally and on tangibles.

“He’s really taking his game to a different level.

Leadership, focus, understanding the system, operating (the system),” Kingsbury said. “He’s doing some really good things, as good as I’ve seen.”

Last season, Mahomes led the Big 12 Conference with 15 interceptions, according to the conference website.

Tech defensive coordinator David Gibbs has been throwing surprise defenses at Mahomes this offseason to get him to improve at protecting the ball. “(Different looks) help me a lot. You never want to throw interceptions, but every time you do you just have to go back and watch the film and learn from it,” Mahomes said. “A big thing for me is cutting down interceptions from last year.

I’ve been trying to figure out ways to avoid them.”

Mahomes said the defense has intercepted him twice in seven-on-seven play in the spring, but have not picked him off in full team practice yet.

Another area Mahomes is focusing on improving is not always trying to make the explosive play.

“A lot of times of I’ll look for the big play even when there’s a five-yard play wide open,” Mahomes said.

“I’m working on trying to take those as many times as I can. In this offense, when we start moving the ball is when really start going. I need to work on taking those little plays and the big plays will develop from there.”

Kingsbury has had the chance to coach multiple mobile quarterbacks, such as Mahomes and former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, and trying to make the big play all the time is a common issue.

Mahomes and Kingsbury are trying to find the fine line of using his elite athletic ability while still playing within the system.

“Their whole life they have just gone out and (made peo-

“You don’t want to pull the reigns too much because that
