University releases student health survey For the fourth time, the Texas Tech Division of Undergraduate Education and Student Affairs will send the American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment to 10,000 randomly selected students beginning today.

Undergraduate and graduate students will be prompted via their university emails to complete a webbased survey, according to a Tech news release. The email will have the subject line of “Support Texas Tech Student Health and Wellness.”

The results of the survey will help administrators recognize the health and wellness needs of students, according to the release, and implement programs for those needs.

The survey features questions concerning nutrition, sexual health, drug use and other areas relevant to college students, according to the release.

Tech administrators will compare the university’s data to higher education institutions from across the country, according to the release.

The survey will be available from today until April 20, according to the release, and respondents will be entered to win $25 in Raider Cash.

University chancellors help guide campus carry bill

By KAITLIN BAIN seNior reporter

Although he no longer directly serves in the Texas Legislature, Texas Tech System Chancellor Robert Duncan, as well as chancellors from the North Texas System, Texas A&M System and University of Texas System, has been working with lawmakers to make changes to the proposed Senate Bill 11.

SB 11 is a bill that would allow the carry of concealed handguns on college campuses, and has

been voted on and passed by the Texas Senate and has now moved on to the Texas House of Representatives, according to the Texas Legislature website.

When Duncan was a senator in 2011, the bill was DUNCAN in his committee and he did not initially support it, he said, until a provision to allow the Board of Regents greater freedom when it comes to managing storage and the presence of firearms in residence halls was added in 2013.

liam McRaven of the University of Texas System, John Sharp of the Texas A&M System and Lee Jackson of the North Texas System, were invited to testify in Austin in mid-February about the bill and their feelings and concerns toward it, and have continued to voice their opinions to help work out issues with SB 11.

McRaven and Sharp were not able to be there, he said, but instead wrote letters detailing their support or lack thereof.

STUDENTS CELEBRATE SPRING WITH COLOR

$30M spent on tuition in program with lax rules

That provision, he said, would give the Board of Regents at each school the freedom to impose its own regulations on the carry of guns in residence halls, such as making storage facilities outside of students’ rooms for the handguns.

“There are still a lot of people that go in and out of dorms now, unlike when I was a student here, the dorms are more open,” Duncan said, “so the problem is you have someone who has a CHL and lives in the dormitory, how do you store it and make sure it’s safe?”

HAPPY HOLI

➤➤@DailyToreador

AUSTIN (AP) — Over the past two decades, Texas agencies have spent at least $30 million on tuition payment programs for state workers in a program with lax rules and oversight, according to a newspaper review of payment records and policies.

Of the three rules governing the payment of tuitions — which include requiring agencies adopt a policy regarding recipient eligibility, put payments toward education programs related to job duties and prohibit agencies from paying in advance of six weeks before classes begin — all may have been violated, the Houston Chronicle reported.

The investigation, which reviewed 40,000 records at two dozen state agencies, also found that that high-ranking officials making six-figure salaries were being paid up-front tuition costs, a controversial practice because it does not make employees prove that they have passed their courses. Other problems included the appearance of favoritism when it came to handing out tuition payments, a lack of requiring recipients to repay tuition if they leave the state’s payroll after completing classes and workers taking classes at private universities, including some outside of Texas.

ATTENDEES OF THE Holi Festival of Colors on Saturday throw paint into the air as a way to celebrate the coming of spring outside the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center.

On Saturday afternoon a line of students stretched across the field in front of the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center as they waited for free T-shirts and bags of brightly colored powder.

The Cross-Cultural Academic Advancement Center and the South Asian Student Association hosted its ninth annual Holi Festival of Colors from 4 to 9 p.m. on Saturday at the Rec fields.

Yesha Batel, the president of SASA and a Texas Tech graduate, said the festival originated from a Hindu fable.

“It’s come to represent the coming of spring, equality among all and a time where everyone can be happy getting together,” she said. “I think that it’s important for students on campus to be exposed to a festival that over two billion people have been celebrating in South Asian countries for hundreds and hundreds of years.”

Holi is traditionally celebrated after the first full moon of the Hindu month Phalguna, according to the CCAAC website, and SASA decided to host its event

Alumni fundraise for Raider Red statue

on Saturday, even though the celebration was on March 6 this year.

The festival was free to students, and donations from sponsors allowed SASA to give away T-shirts and packets of color to the first 1,000 students.

Simran Singh, a sophomore biochemistry major from Dallas and the secretary for SASA, said the organization delayed hosting the event so it could be part of Diversity Week at Tech.

“There are always a lot of people who come,” she said. “Every year it gets bigger and bigger, and we think that’s a positive response. A lot of people don’t know what Holi is, so we get to tell them about it.”

The festival activities started at 5 p.m. with a performance from the Tech Diwali dancers, and they danced to traditional songs as well as modern pop songs.

After the performance the students were invited to throw the color powder in their packets, and the crowd quickly became surrounded by a cloud of yellow, purple, orange and blue.

Next external vice president outlines goals

By JONATHAN LAUREL Staff Writer

Caleb Fisher, a business administration graduate student from Wichita Falls, was elected as the new external vice president earlier this month.

Fisher does not officially start his vice presidential duties until May 1, but said he is working with Stetson Whetstone, the current external vice president, in order to take over his initiatives.

“Stetson and I are good friends,” Fisher said. “We share ideas and talk about the ini-

“There is great concern,” McRaven said, according to his letter, “that the presence of handguns, even if limited to licensed individuals age 21 or older, will lead to an increase in both accidental shootings and self-inflicted wounds.”

He also cited, according to the letter, the ability for university law enforcement to differentiate between the defender and the bad actor in a potential active shooter situation and consequences related to the research done at laboratories on campus all as reasons to keep guns off campus.

Sharp, however, expressed a different sentiment in his letter as he wrote this was an issue of the trust he has for students, faculty and staff of Texas A&M. “I cannot speak to the effect campus carry would have on other institutions and their students,” he said, according to the letter. “However, I have complete trust and faith in our students. Having licensed gun owners in possession of legal weapons on our campus does not raise safety concerns for me personally.”

tiatives that he pursued that have already come to fruition and those that have not.”

Two of the biggest campus issues FISHER are parking and bus routes, Fisher said, which were included on Whetstone’s agenda.

Both of those issues will be at the top of Fisher’s agenda as issues to address, he said.

“I am excited for the opportunity to make the campus of Texas Tech more efficient,” he said. “I have already begun meet-

ing with members of the Board of Regents, administration and other executive members of the Student Government Association, in order to make my year in office as productive and beneficial as possible.”

Another one of Fisher’s initiatives is to fix the SafeRide program, he said, which was something he mentioned and heavily advocated for while he was campaigning.

One of Fisher’s main goals during his term is to replace the SafeRide program with the Uber taxi service, he said.

“I have every confidence

in Caleb. He is going to make a phenomenal external VP,” Amber Yanez, incoming internal vice president, said. “I saw firsthand how passionate he was about helping our fellow Red Raiders get an Uber discount.

He plans to start working with the company right away.”

The possibility of having a Tech SGA executive member on the Lubbock City Council was also discussed during the campaign season, and Fisher said he will continue working toward gaining a seat for SGA. “A non-voting seat on the

City Council has been a goal of Student Government for a while now,” Fisher said. “Rather than making this the main focus, I think we should continue to foster a relationship with the City of Lubbock and let those things fall into place naturally.”

Gaining a spot with the Lubbock City Council is an important and necessary goal, he said.

“We can’t expect Lubbock to offer us a seat on the city council simply because we ask for it,” Fisher said. “It will be a long process of fostering those relationships and serving the city.”

Duncan said he and Jackson, the two chancellors in attendance, took a different approach to testifying.

“As a former member of the legislature, I’ve found it’s better to have a seat at the table and to be able to work with members,” he said, “and so basically as a chancellor now, I’m head of an agency and I felt like it would be more important to go in and address the issues that still need to be addressed in the bill.”

Those issues include those relating to labs and clinics, he said, as well as continuing to support the notion that allows the Board of Regents greater flexibility with residence halls.

While the direct changes have not been made to these yet, with the exception of the residence hall provision, he said legislators are currently working to find solutions for the issues discussed, including research dollars, ambiguity between this bill and the Concealed Handgun License Law, as well as what to do with clinics on the campus.

“What we’re concerned about is there are certain types of research that we do on campuses that require extraordinary security in order for us to be able to do

that research,” he said. “So a blanket provision over those areas of campus might impede our competitiveness for those sorts of grants.”

In addition, the CHL law lists hospitals and child care facilities as two places where guns are not allowed.

Without that written in the bill, it becomes an issue of which law trumps which when a university like Tech has both a hospital and a child care facility on its campus, Duncan said.

Finally, while Tech has not been specifically involved with this issue, there is some discussion about the fact the law does apply to public universities but private schools are exempted from the policy, he said.

Whether these provisions are added to the bill or not, Duncan said there will have to be some changes on campus that help ease the transition between a campus without handguns in buildings and one with handguns.

“We ought to, at our universities in the Texas Tech System, have a course or at least some sort of training to students or faculty who have CHLs who want to carry on campus,” he said, “and the risks

and the issues and to make sure they understand what happens and at least give some advice and training about how they would interact with, say if there’s an active shooter or if something is happening, that would make them believe they would want to pull their gun and use it.”

In addition, there would need to be a storage method in the residence halls, he said, for students who have a CHL and

want to carry on campus.

Finally, he said it would need to be decided what is done with clinics on campus, especially those in the middle of hospitals, an area where, according to current laws, handguns are prohibited.

While there are procedural changes that would have to occur, he said he does not think there would be many changes with students and faculty on campus.

but the ultimate decision where it goes is up to the Texas Tech arts committee,” he said. “There’s been discussion on where it should be, but that won’t be actually voted on until the money is raised and the statue is closer to being ready.”

Smith said some of the proposed locations include the area outside the Tech Athletics offices, outside the Frazier Alumni Pavilion, between the pavilion and Rip Griffin Park, outside the United Supermarkets Arena and by the Student Union building.

Some of the proposed locations are unavailable, he said, because of plans the university already has.

“I think right now the leading place

on campus is going to be a new plaza that’s going to be developed by the United (Supermarkets) Arena so there’s new benches and a place to kind of hang out,” he said. “We figure it will be one of the top three places on campus that people take pictures.”

If the arts committee approves, Smith said he hopes to find a donor who would have the plaza named after him or her.

Tech has a rule that states if someone wants something on campus named after him or her, the individual or business has to pay for three-fourths of the project, he said.

Despite this goal, the committee still wants the statue to be a project paid for by alumni, Smith said, so everyone feels a part of it.

“There are plenty of people out there who could write a check and do the whole thing themselves,” Snead said.

“However, I think that because Raider Red is something that’s so uniquely Texas Tech, it’s really neat that it’s a grassroots organization and people are working on doing this. If you’re a Red Raider and this is something that touches your heart and Raider Red means something to you and you have that ability, give us a call and we’d be glad to visit with you about it.”

There are fun runs and concerts planned, Smith said, to continue raising money for the statue.

There will be slight changes from the version currently viewable on the Raider Red website, Smith said. The gun barrels will be slightly shortened, the front of the hat will dip down more, his eyebrows will tilt up and the brim of the hat will be larger.

Smith suggested the idea of a statue to Stephanie Rhode, director of the Spirit Program, and Chris Snead, chair of the Raider Red Committee, sponsor of the Saddle Tramps and associate vice president of the Tech Alumni Association, about a year ago, Snead said.

“I think that this is a neat project and The committee sent letters to former a lot of the former Tramps have contribRaider Reds in October to obtain their uted to it.

The Tech Alumni Association established the fund and lends a hand in holding the money raised, he said.

The Alumni Association supports the proposal because it aims to promote spirit at the university, Snead said, and Raider Red is one of Tech’s greatest traditions.

All donations to the fund are taxdeductible, according to the Raider Red website.

“I think the numbers that you will see because of the age limit, I don’t think it will change that much,” he said. “I like to take the position that nothing is as good as it’s promoted to be nor is it as bad as the opponents say it is, and I think there is a balance when you finally reach those things.”

Duncan said if passed, the bill would be implemented on campus Sept. 1. ➤➤@KaitlinBainDT

“Raider Red will turn 50 years old in a few years, so I would like to have it all done before the 50th and not just wait until then,” he said. “We could be adding onto it each year and making the plaza more spectacular so it’s just a great celebration when he turns 50, not just waiting that long to make it happen.

Let’s get it done.”

Raider Red at Tech is like Mickey Mouse at Disney, Smith said, because everyone requests to have him at events and in pictures.

The statue will continue this tradition, he said.

It could take anywhere from six months to a year for the statue to be completed by sculptor Terrell O’Brian, Snead said, and the final product will be in bronze.

When Smith was a mascot in 1981, he never would have dreamed Raider Red would become the icon he is today, Smith said.

“When it’s all said and done, I can say I worked my butt off and that statue is part of my legacy for Tech,” Smith said. “It just makes me feel really good that I contributed.

Students fundraise to grant children’s wishes

By KRISTEN BARTON La Vida Editor

Through fundraising and promotions, a group of students on campus hopes to give a child an enriching, joyous experience.

Wishmakers on Campus is a student organization at Texas Tech with the goal of granting at least one wish a semester for a child through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, according to the organization’s website.

“The goal is for us to raise enough for one wish, hopefully,” Lauren Shanks, a sophomore marketing major from Amarillo and secretary of the organization, said. “One wish is generally about $8,000, so once we get to that we’ll just talk with the coordinator here and they’ll meet us and match us up with a kid and whoever is certified will take over.”

One way the organization is attempting to raise money is with the Walk for Wishes event, Shanks said. The walk is on April

13 at 10:30 a.m. at the Buddy Holly Recreation Area. The walk will include a performance and raffle, and all proceeds will go to the organization.

Wishmakers also has give back nights, which are fundraisers organized with restaurants, to raise money, Leah Manley, a freshman pre-speech pathology major from Austin, said. Wishmakers will set up a day with a restaurant and the restaurant will give a certain percentage of its proceeds to Wishmakers on Campus.

This will be the first year for Wishmakers to try to grant a wish, Shanks said. The main priority for the organization right now is raising money to grant a wish.

Some of the members use Wishmakers as an opportunity to further involvement in their Greek philanthropy, such as Brittany Brewster, a sophomore accounting major from Austin.

“I’m a part of Chi Omega, and Make-A-Wish is our philanthropy and this is furthering my involvement in Make-A-Wish,” she said.

“Back in Austin I worked with Helping Hands as well, which is helping underprivileged children.”

Shanks said even though Chi Omega’s philanthropy is Make-A-Wish, Wishmakers is not affiliated with the sorority.

Anyone is welcome to join and help grant a child’s wish.

The members of Wishmakers on Campus are putting their work into promoting the walk so they can raise enough money to grant a wish, Taryn Tomanka, a sophomore early childhood education major from Mansfield, said.

The group is looking forward to hopefully granting its first wish, Chloe Snell, a freshman management major from Midland, said. The group is a new organization on campus and has never granted a wish before.

“I’ve never done it before but I feel like it will be really rewarding to see your work pay off and see the smile on their face,” she said. “I’m just really excited to see their happiness.” ➤➤@TheDT_LaVida

Texas Tech alumnus pursues his passion for music in Austin

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff WritEr

After graduating from Texas Tech in 2011, Matt Sledge felt that a normal career was not for him. So after a couple years of an office job, he decided to take a risk.

“After I graduated I moved back to Midland and worked in the oil and gas business,” Matt Sledge, guitarist for the band The Vanity, and Tech alumnus from Midland, said. “I decided it was time to get out of West Texas.”

Sledge’s interest in music began as a child, he said. Through his parent’s influence he took notice of what he liked, and made the sound his own.

“It was when we were driving to

school and I was listening to people like Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson,” Sledge said. “It was that music that caught my ear.”

When the thought of moving to Austin crossed his mind, it wasn’t a difficult choice, he said.

“It was only five hours away,” he said, “And we have a ranch in between there.”

After moving to Austin, Sledge met up with a few friends and the idea of starting a band was born.

Through friends he was able to contact the right people to get a great group started, he said.

“We have five guys in the group, with two that are no longer members,” he said. “The group took us about eight months to get together.”

With a fully formed group in

2014, the band was ready to get its feet wet. After a year of evolving its sound, the band released its first EP album with three of their best songs.

“It’s really hard to choose just three songs,” Sledge said. “You hope that all of the hours you put into are well received, because it’s the first time anyone is going to hear you.”

When the band’s album “Stranger” was released, the band debuted songs such as “River,” “Cowboy Killers,” and “Black and Blue” according to the band’s biography. All three songs were released in early March of this year.

“We were just hoping that it would come out well,” Sledge said. “We had no idea what people would think.”

The Texas Tech Honors College initiated a new program this school year where students in the college are sorted into one of four houses, according to the Honors College website, and the goal of the program is to increase the engagement of the students.

The Haragan House hosted a Super Smash Bros. tournament at 2 p.m. on Saturday in the lobby of Gordon Hall as a social event for all four houses.

Parker Swindling, a sophomore accounting major from Carrollton, said the leaders of Haragan House wanted to organize an event everyone in the Honors College could enjoy.

“We just thought about things people in the Honors College would like to do,” he said. “I was just thinking of all the games, what’s a good party game everyone can play for a few hours, and I thought of Super Smash Bros.”

Super Smash Bros. is a good tournament game to organize, and Swindling said he organized the players into brackets for one player versus one player games.

Victoria Merrick, a junior biology

major from Allen, said she was happy with the amount of students who came to watch and play in the tournament.

“We had well over 30 people here at one time,” she said. “It was like standing room only. We were expecting to play the tournament with only about eight people, but we had so many come in wanting to play.”

There was free food for all the students who attended the tournament, and the one vs. one tournament lasted for an hour and a half before there was an overall winner.

The event united the different students of the Honors College who live on and off campus, and students had the opportunity to interact with new people while participating in friendly competition.

“The cool thing about Super Smash Bros. is it’s not a very mad competitive game,” Swindling said. “Everyone is just cheering each other on. It’s really nice.”

The Haragan House was named after Donald Haragan, the provost of the Honors Program before it became a college, and according to the Honors College website it stands for the pillar of service.

To include a service aspect to the

social event, Merrick said, Haragan House also encouraged students to clean out their closets and donate unwanted clothing at the event.

“It’s just good for the community,” she said. “There are so many opportunities to give back to the community, and it’s so simple to ask people to bring some clothes. You can also earn points for your house by doing service events, courage things and just going to socials. It’s kind of a competition.”

The other three houses of the Honors College are Lawless, Winer and Bell, and the house with the most points at the end of the year will get a House Cup as a reward.

Haragan House has done different social events throughout the year, and Merrick said she would like to do another Super Smash Bros. tournament because it was so successful.

“It really builds community,” she said. “It’s so easy because you meet like 20 new people who you can hang out with. College is such an awesome place to meet new people. I think it’s important not only to go to class, but to know your friends outside of class.” ➤➤@JenRomeroDT

called the Cold War Kids, the group presented a live audience with its new material at South by Southwest, an Austin music festival, he said. The audience’s reaction was exactly what the band wanted.

“After the show people came up and talked to us about our songs,” he said. “That’s ultimately what you want, it’s reassuring.”

The group considers itself an alternative rock group with a young and still-evolving sound. This makes the recording and songwriting process unique for them, he said.

“Someone usually comes in with musical parts and we make the lyrics after the music, or the music after the lyrics,” Sledge said. “It just varies from song to song.”

This still-evolving sound and the way of recording makes the band stand out among other groups in the industry, he said.

“You can also hear some faster paced punk rock styles coming through a couple of our songs,” David Grayson, drummer for The Vanity said. “That’s from our earlier days as kids when punk

was everything.”

The band’s next line of performances will be during June of this year when it will be playing for Summer Festival 2015 in Houston, according to a press release. Until then the members will be in the studio working on more material, Sledge said.

“More than anything figure out what you want to do and why,” Sledge said. “Then what you have to do is put that process in motion, and always have a game plan.” ➤➤@MichaelCantuDT

banked poker and bingo,” according to the website.

Therefore, the other two tribes are restricted due to previous cases against them opening establishments where gambling would take place.

Implementing these regulations seems like plenty, along with the Texas lottery that “supports Texas Education.”

As a citizen, I would like to see more statistics to validate those ideas. With things like Bingo and plenty of charitable raffles, these activities bring in ample allowance in Texas for those who have the urge to place bets and play the game of chance.

On the lottery front, Texas Public Policy Foundation has informative details on its website.

“According to the Texas Lottery Commission, the current guideline for apportioning lottery sales is as follows: roughly 63 percent is paid out in prizes; 5 percent covers agency administration costs; retail commissions claim another 5 percent; and approximately 2 percent (or the sum of unclaimed prizes) is transferred to the Texas Legislature, which then chooses to disburse the money as it sees fit.

That leaves roughly 25 percent for the Foundation School Fund; this rate has steadily declined over the last 15 years,” according to the Texas Policy website.

Unfortunately, Texas is already experiencing a few of the consequences of gambling, such as the addictive qualities, exploitation of the poor and de-

Secondly, the exploitation of the poor who make gambling a regressive tax means the individuals who are least likely to afford it take part in making it the poor man’s tax.

“Texas instant tickets were more likely to be purchased by a person who was out of work than someone who was employed or retired,” according to an article in Business Insider.

This proves gambling is used in conjunction with welfare and unemployment benefits as a last resort.

“Against this backdrop, the Texas House voted on April 23, 2013, to abolish the Texas Lottery Commission… However, ending the lottery would have created a significant problem: namely, a projected $2.2 billion gap in revenue for public education in the upcoming biennium.

Confronted with that harsh reality, state representatives reconvened hours later and reversed the original vote, keeping the lottery intact,” according to the Texas Policy website.

If Texas expands the regulations and laws surrounding the issue of gambling, I fear it would lead to some serious consequences for the Lone Star state.

But have you ever questioned why the state of Texas has its name on the famous card game?

Sadly, the true history of why Texas has its name on the card game remains unknown.

According to cardschat.com, “The story goes that the very first location where the game Texas Hold ‘em was ever played was in Robstown in Texas around 1900.” If you were to ask me, this statement doesn’t sound very factually convincing.

pendence on welfare, a government and societal dependence on the revenues which potentially lead to fraudulent behaviors. Then, of course, there are the correlative issues of drugs, divorce rates, bankruptcy and unemployment benefits accompanying the increase of illegal gambling practices.

On the addictive aspect of betting, this practice has become a common testament that everything should be done in moderation. This actuality extends to every behavior with no exception to the gambling argument.

casino within its state lines, yet we still include the practice of gambling on the name of a card game we sit down at the table and play. Is it fair that a popular gambling game is named after a state that doesn’t even support the gambling business?

Many people argue gambling is against morals and teaches the wrong values of how to earn your money.

From the business perspective, along with supporting the state, casinos can impact Texas significantly with benefits of up to “$1.2 billion to the state and $416 million to local jurisdictions,” according to an article from Impact News.

“When money from gambling operations is taxed, the revenue generated for state and local governments reaches into the hundreds of millions of dollars in each sector,” according to the North Texas economic firm Weinstein, Clower & Associates website.

With Texas’ growing population, taxes are becoming more important for the state — especially in construction.

With increased population comes an increased number of cars on the road. Within the last two years, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex has been expanding interstate highways and increasing the number of lanes within these interstate highways, along with main roads throughout the city.

L a r g e construction projects such as these are not cheap and are supported by a significant amount of tax dollars coming from hardworking Texans.

If Texas is to pass legislation, the casino business can offer a large amount of aid to these construction projects with the tax revenue generated. Local businesses around these casinos, such as hotels, restaurants and bars will prosper as well as provide more jobs from these businesses and the casinos themselves.

Setting aside the business perspective, Texas is one of the best states to live in, economically and socially, and we should make it evident. By legalizing gambling, casinos will provide

an additional attraction to the state instead of having tourists and Texans drive an hour out of Dallas just to gamble at Choctaw or Winstar in Oklahoma.

Some people pushing for legalization of gambling in Texas have stated Texas prides itself in its independence and freedoms, thus gambling should be the choice of the individual based on his or her rights.

If someone wants to open up a casino and start a business, they should have the freedom to do so.

Also, those who want to gamble in these casinos should have the right to do so as well.

If someone simply does not support casinos or gambling, then they don’t have to participate. Adults should be allowed to choose for themselves whether or not they want to partake in gambling, and should also be able to choose how they want to spend their money.

No matter what, by opening up casinos, even for those who don’t gamble, the economic prosperity by this practice is a boost for every hardworking Texan in this state.

everal factors need to be taken into account when talking about legalizing gambling. This would be detrimental to our Texan way of living in many aspects.

The first thing to discuss is a bit about the background of Texas, its regulations and history. These three are all vital in understanding the current tolerance the Lone Star state has toward behaviors of this particular nature.

The state of Texas is bordered

by Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arkansas with operating casinos and racetracks. In addition, cruise boats are an outlet for gambling off of the c o a s t .

Alpha Phi sorority adds new addition to lodge

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

Reuniting alumnae and bringing current members to its debut, the Gamma Iota chapter of Alpha Phi presented new renovations to its current lodge Saturday.

“Today we are celebrating not only the fact that our remodel is complete,” Liane Locke, alumna, recruitment adviser and house board member, said, “but that our chapter also started over 60 years ago, so it’s also our 60th anniversary and reunion.”

The renovation serves as one of the house’s first major renovations since it was built, Locke said. This came as a result of the growth of pledges of the sorority.

“The house was built in 1972 for about 90 girls,” she said. “Now with the growth of Texas Tech and the growth of the Greek system, we have almost 250 girls.”

Starting around five years ago, current members, along with alumnae, raised more than $1 million for the new addition, Locke said.

“We didn’t have room for meeting space, we didn’t have enough restrooms, the kitchen was tiny,” she said. “We wanted the women to come up here and study.”

The facilities now include a new kitchen and restrooms built from the old kitchen, raising the

number of restrooms from two to seven, she said. A study area was added, along with an extension of the chapter room.

“We also had to have a fire sprinkler system installed, that’s required by our national organization now,” Locke said. “It also has to be ADA accessible, so we had to install a lift to make it more accessible.”

Many alumnae came back to see the new additions to the house.

“I was here when we built the original house,” Deana Koonsman Gage, president of Alpha Phi International and alumna, said. “I had worked with the chapter enough to know the space constraints they were under.”

Gage’s current role as international president made her well aware the house needed to improve its safety conditions for the students using the house, she said. Like other Greek organizations, Alpha Phi now requires all facilities to have fire suppression systems.

“Our primary concern is that our members be safe,” Gage said, “so we wanted them to have a place where they could gather, have their activities and we would know they were safe.”

The house now includes more areas for the women of the house to study and work on their schoolwork, she said.

“There’s even going to be a Smart Board in here where they can practice presentations,” Gage said.

“It is really as much of an education facility as it is a leadership facility.”

Being an innovative and unique sorority is part of Alpha Phi’s history, she said. This goes back to when the first chapter started 1872.

“Our history goes back to a private university where it was very difficult for women to get in,” she said. “We were founded by 10 of the first women to attend Syracuse University, and those women were more or less in a hostile environment because the men didn’t want them there.”

The history of the sorority is deeply rooted in higher education, Gage said, so the new additions to the house needed to reflect the sorority’s stance on education importance.

“We have a lot of study carrels in there, and so they are definitely studying,” Kim Butler, former chapter adviser and house board committee member and alumna, said. “It is a great facility for us to meet. We have an all new big chapter room.”

The breaking point for the sorority to finally decide to add new parts of the house was the increase in pledges, Butler said.

“We were busting at the seams, as all of the Greeks are out here

KARTHIKEYA CHALLA, A masters student in electrical engineering from Hyderabad, India, has paint rubbed into his hair by a friend during the Holi Festival on Saturday outside of the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center.

“It’s a Hindu event, but it’s more secular now,” Singh said. “We wanted to host this event at Tech because it promotes diversity, and since it’s Diversity Week we thought it was the best time to have it.”

Free food was served at 6 p.m. and the students who were covered in a multitude of colors enjoyed the traditional Indian food.

“I’m looking forward to all the colors and being around all these people,” she said. “The atmosphere is really hyper and friendly. I want to come to this

Michelle Obama declares ‘Black Girls Rock!’

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — First Lady Michelle Obama celebrated the beauty, power and tenacity of black women while spreading her own message of education for girls at Black Girls Rock!, an annual event honoring trailblazing women of color from all walks of life.

“No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, you are beautiful,” Obama told the crowd, which included many young black girls.

“I am so proud of you. My husband, your president, is so proud of you,” she added. “We have so much hope and dreams for you.”

Obama was not among the honorees at Saturday night’s festivities, held at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. That distinction went to actress Jada Pinkett Smith, singer Erykah Badu, actress Cicely Tyson, “Selma” director Ava DuVernay, educator Nadia Lopez and Dr. Helene D. Gayle, president and CEO of CARE USA, a humanitarian organization.

However, Obama was the most celebrated participant. Wearing a form-fitting white dress, she jammed to performances from the likes of Badu, Fantasia, Sheila E!, Estelle and others and applauded the honorees.

Obama got arguably the night’s loudest ovation as she came on stage and declared “Black girls rock!” — the slogan and name of the organization founded

by Beverly Bond. It is designed to uplift young black girls, a group that often has difficulty finding positive and reaffirming images of themselves in the world.

Obama acknowledged as much in her speech to celebrate three young honorees.

“I know there are voices that you are not good enough,” she said, acknowledging that she often lacked self-confidence growing up despite encouraging parents.

“Each of those doubts was like a test,” she said, “that I either shrink away from or rise to meet. And I decided to rise.”

Obama, who recently completed a trip to Japan and Cambodia as part of her worldwide push for better educational opportunities for girls, lauded the young honorees for excelling in their studies.

“There is nothing more important than being serious about your education,” the Ivy League-educated Obama said. “That’s why I am able to stand here tonight. ... I want every one of our black

girls do to the same, and our black boys.”

Obama’s speech was just one of many highlights of the nearly four-hour event, which will be shown Sunday, April 5, on BET. Will Smith gave an emotional tribute to his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who received the Star Power award. Smith alluded to persistent rumors that the

couple’s marriage was in trouble.

He said when one rumor got out of control, he had a chance for reflection.

“In that brief moment my heart jumped for a second and I started to imagine what my life would have been like without that woman,” he said as the couple’s daughter, Willow, beamed from the audience.

with our facilities,” she said, “because it used to be like 150 girls, and now it is about 250 girls.”

The sorority also gives the opportunity of guidance to the women of the house, Butler said, all for the hopes of improving grades and any other classroom struggle.

“Education is our number one,” every year.”

The Holi festival is a different cultural experience for many students, and Batel said she thinks it is important to expose students to different cultures.

The bright colors thrown during the festival are symbolic of leaving winter behind and embracing the vibrant aspects of spring, according to the CCAAC website, and the festival also works to bring different people together.

“I think that when everyone’s in the color, it unifies the crowd,” Batel said.

“There is no differentiation between race or social status. It’s coming together and having people disregard all that.

The colors are so vibrant, and they also represent having a fun time.” ➤➤@JenRomeroDT

Sarah Berry, president of Alpha Phi, said. “If you don’t have your education you’re not a member of Alpha Phi, because we’re a collegiate chapter.”

The women of Alpha Phi are excited for the expansion of their home away from home, Berry said.

“When 18-year-old young ladies

come into this university, especially with not much people that they know,” Berry said, “this gives you a sense of stability and it gives you a sense of family, where you can have 250 women that you can automatically come to, support you, help you and guide you.” ➤➤@MichaelCantuDT

Malik says he worries he’s let fans down LONDON (AP) — Zayn Malik says he worries that he’s let One Direction fans down by leaving the worldconquering boy band, but couldn’t carry on in a role that made him unhappy.

Malik quit the group this week, saying he wanted “to be a normal 22-yearold.” He had earlier pulled out of One Direction’s world tour, citing stress.

He told Friday’s edition of Britain’s Sun newspaper that “I did try to do something that I wasn’t happy doing for a while” to keep fans happy.

“I only ever tried to do it for the fans, and it was only ever for them,” he said.

He said he felt upset that “I may have let them down in some sort of way.”

“It’s not that I’ve turned my back on them or anything, it’s just that I can’t do that anymore because it’s not real to me,” he said.

And he said his bandmates had been “really supportive” of his decision.

One Direction formed in 2010 after five teenagers — Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Malik — auditioned individually for the British TV talent show “The X Factor.” Simon Cowell had the idea of putting them together as a boy band.

Oklahoma sweeps Tech to open Big 12

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

The Oklahoma Sooners swept the Texas Tech softball team at Rocky Johnson Field in a threegame weekend series as the Red Raiders opened up their 2015 Big 12 Conference schedule.

In the opening game of the series, the Sooners took the opener with a 9-1 win over Tech.

The Sooners were the first to put a run on the scoreboard at the top of the first inning with a two-out single to right field with a runner on third base.

In the bottom of the second, Tech scored its first run of the game with a one-out bunt single from sophomore first baseman Brittany Warnecke, scoring senior catcher Kristi Belshe at third on a suicide squeeze play.

Oklahoma scored its third run of the game on a Tech error to put the Red Raiders behind 3-1.

A two-out three-run home run with runners on first and second from senior Shelby Pendley ran the Sooner lead to 6-1 at the top of the fourth.

Tech coach Adrian Gregory said Tech stayed in the game until the fourth inning when the Sooners gained momentum.

“At that point you’re down 3-1, they get a bomb,” Gregory said.

“Our kids just didn’t respond the right way.”

Oklahoma scored three more

runs to close out the game. The Sooners capitalized on a basesloaded single from freshman third baseman Kelsey Arnold down the middle to put the Red Raiders behind 9-1.

Freshman Sooner left-handed pitcher Paige Parker earned the win as she allowed five hits, one run, no walks and struck out 13 of Tech’s batters.

Miles said Tech’s hitters had a hard time getting hits because of Parker’s ability to throw pitches they had not seen often.

“She had a lot of movement, she threw a rise ball which we haven’t seen a lot of,” Miles said. “I think it was hard to stay disciplined for us.”

Oklahoma clinched the series in the second game by defeating the Red Raiders 13-5 in six innings.

At the start of the game, Oklahoma took charge with four runs in the first inning. Pendley opened up the four-run frame with a two-run homerun to center field.

In the bottom of the second, Warnecke hit a three-run home run to center field to put Tech behind just 5-3. The Sooners, however, extended their lead to 7-3 in the next inning with a two-run home run.

The Sooners continued to produce offensively as they recorded another home run in the fourth inning and two more in the top of the fifth inning to put Tech behind 11-3.

Tech sophomore right fielder Kierra Miles kept Tech in the game for one more inning with a two-run

Duke beats Gonzaga, earns Final Four trip HOUSTON (AP) — A special group of freshmen is taking Duke and Coach K back to the NCAA Final Four.

The Blue Devils and their trio of freshmen starters are going to their 16th Final Four after a 66-52 win Sunday in the South Regional over Gonzaga.

Justise Winslow, the freshman playing home in Houston, had 16 points, including a big 3-pointer in the closing minutes. Matt Jones had also had 16 points while freshman Tyus Jones had 15 points, while Jahlil Okafor nine points and

blast down center field.

Oklahoma added another two runs at the top of the sixth to take a 13-5 lead and retired three of Tech’s four batters at the bottom of the sixth to seal its win.

Pendley, who homered at the top of the first, earned the win for the Sooners after relieving junior righthander Kelsey Stevens. Pendley pitched for four and a half innings and recorded two earned runs, four hits, one walk and five strikeouts.

Tech lost the final game of the series 21-6 on a windy Sunday afternoon as the Sooners completed the series sweep.

Both pitching staffs combined for a total of eight hit-by-pitches and 14 walks, but Oklahoma ended the game early with a huge fifth inning.

Tech gave up six runs at the top of the first as Oklahoma hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly, an RBI single down right field, an RBI hitby-pitch and a three-run double toward center left field.

Although Tech gave up a combined 21 runs, Gregory said she liked how the team battled back in the early part of the game after Oklahoma’s six runs in the opening frame.

“I thought we did a better job of wanting to come back after the sixth spot,” Gregory said. “Earlier in the season we would’ve just gone down and tanked in the first. We did a better job at first, but we couldn’t retain it.”

and a single toward left field from sophomore catcher Brittany Lee. The Sooners put the game out of reach at the top of the fifth with 11 runs.

In the Sooners’ final inning, Miles said, Tech allowed its opponent to grab momentum to put the game away.

“I felt we just let them score, let them get their momentum back,” Miles said. “They just kept scoring, and we just couldn’t do much after that.”

TEXAS TECH TENNIS player Kathleen Jackson hits the ball during a double match Sunday at Don and Ethel McLeod Tennis Center. Texas Tech defeated Oklahoma State 4-3.

The Texas Tech Lady Raiders faced off against the Oklahoma State Cowgirls Sunday for the fifth conference match of the year and pulled off an upset, winning 4-3.

Tech was coming off of a 4-1 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners on Friday, which improved the Lady Raiders to 34-4 at home through the last four seasons.

Tech continued its winning ways with a second-straight win against a Big 12 Conference opponent, topping Oklahoma State by one point.

Oklahoma State took the first point of the game winning two of the three matches in doubles.

Tech doubles partners, senior Kenna Kilgo and freshman Gabriela Talaba, were the only Lady Raider pair able to get a win in the doubles portion.

Tech coach Todd Petty said losing the doubles point put them in a hole early, but he was glad his team was able to battle back.

“When you lose a doubles point like that you have to grab a point somewhere where you’re not expecting to win or where you’re not the favorite,” Petty said.

The Lady Raiders fought their way back against the Cowgirls with Kilgo and Talaba both winning their singles matches.

Kilgo defeated Oklahoma State’s Viktoriya Lushkova 6-3, 6-1. Lushkova is individually ranked at No. 11 in the nation.

“It was massive for us to get the first two points,” she said.

Petty said Kilgo’s victory signaled a change in momentum throughout the rest of the team.

Talaba followed by defeating Oklahoma State junior Kelsey Laurente 6-0, 6-2.

Oklahoma State fought back into the game with freshman Vladica Babic and sophomore Carla Tur Mari both winning their matches.

Babic defeated Lady Raider Lynn Kiro in three sets, while Tur Mari won her match over Lady Raider Sabrina Federici in extra points.

With the game tied at three matches for each team, Tech freshman Sarah Dvorak defeated Katarina Adamovic in extra points.

“Sarah’s my hero,” Kilgo said. “I think she is a huge asset to this team.”

Dvorak found herself in the same situation she was previously in when the team lost to the Texas Lady Longhorns in Austin 4-3.

“To see her respond in the breaker and jump up 6-1, (the team) needed that,” Petty said.

The Lady Raiders improved to 14-4 on the season with their victory. ➤➤@TheDT_Sports

Spartans Final Four bound after 76-70 win SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Travis Trice vowed a day earlier that he wasn’t going to cry should the Michigan State Spartans continue their improbable run to the Final Four.

The senior guard’s vow lasted no more than 10 seconds once the final horn sounded following Michigan State’s 76-70 overtime victory over Louisville in a thrilling NCAA Tournament East Regional final Sunday.

Amid the frenzied celebration, Trice squatted down at center court and began to sob uncontrollably.

“I was actually trying to hold it in,” Trice said. “I try to keep it even keeled.

I’m mad that I even cried now.”

That’s when senior forward Branden Dawson interjected by saying that was the first time he’s ever seen Trice cry.

Counted out for done as recently as six weeks ago, the seventh-seeded Spartans (27-11) let it all out in a thrilling display of perseverance and defensive grit to oust the fourthseeded Cardinals (27-9).

“I’d like to tell you that I thought five different times this year that we were good enough to get to a Final Four, but I’d be lying to you,” said coach Tom Izzo, who described this as the best of seven regional final victo-

ries he has enjoyed. “But I think the burning desire to be in this Final Four, and they didn’t want to be a group that didn’t make it. I think it was more of the battle cry all year long.”

Trice led the Spartans with 17 points. Dawson had 11 rebounds, including a key putback of Bryn Forbes’ missed 3-point shot with 31.7 seconds left in overtime. And Denzel Valentine scored 15 points for a Michigan State team that won for the 12th time in 15 games. It’s a run that included them knocking off second-seeded Virginia last weekend and third-seeded Oklahoma in the regional semifinal on Friday.

Michigan State will face Duke, which beat Gonzaga 66-52 in the South Regional final, on Saturday in Indianapolis.

Wayne Blackshear had 28 points for the Cardinals (27-9) in a game that featured 11 lead changes.

There could have been a 12th with 4.9 seconds left in regulation, when Cardinals forward Mangok Mathiang hit his first free throw to tie the game on a shot that hit off the heel of the rim and bounced high and in. But he wasn’t so fortunate on his second one, which also hit the heel and bounced wide left.

Texas Tech baseball hosts second annual ‘Bark in the Park’ for game

SPRING SCRIMMAGE

tendance count, however, were the 215 dogs brought by owners for the second annual Bark in the Park.

Assistant director of promotions and fan engagement Eric Ward said the event is a unique one and helps draw a new group of fans to Rip Griffin Park.

“We will certainly be doing Bark in the Park again in the future,” he said. “It’s just a really fun thing for our fans who might not come to the game otherwise.”

Ward said the event was first brought up by Tech coach Tim Tadlock who has a dog of his own and liked the idea of doing something not many other schools were.

After doing some research, Ward said they found only a couple of colleges throughout the nation who were hosting similar events. “(Tadlock) I guess just loves dogs and I think all of the coaches have dogs,” Ward said, “so they thought it would be kind of cool to have the fans bring their dogs to the games.”

To put on the event, the athletics promotions team partnered with the Mortar Board senior honor society.

Casey Phillips was the Mortar Board chairperson for the event, and said her team began planning in September.

Mortar Board hosted the event in support of the Lubbock Humane

what we wanted.”

In the second game of the series, the Red Raiders won their 500th alltime conference game 9-3 in front of 3,861 fans.

Senior right-handed pitcher Cameron Smith threw seven innings and allowed one earned run with five strikeouts.

Tech scored four runs in the first inning, including a two-RBI double from senior shortstop Tim Proudfoot. They made it a 6-0 game in the second inning when junior first baseman Eric Gutierrez and junior outfielder Tyler Neslony had base hits for RBIs. Senior second baseman Bryant Burleson also earned an RBI off his second home run of the season.

The Jayhawks were able to score a single run in the fourth, seventh and ninth innings, but were never able to get the game close.

In the rubber match game of the

series on Sunday, the Red Raiders won their first conference series 3-2 in front of 215 dogs for the second annual Tech Bark in the Park.

The crowd was silenced in the top of the first inning when Kansas scored a run on a fielder’s choice.

The two teams were held scoreless in the next three innings before Neslony drew a bases-loaded walk and Gutierrez hit an RBI sacrifice fly in the fifth inning.

Taylor’s scoreless earned run inning streak was snapped at 29.2 innings when the Jayhawks hit a single and a runner beat a throw at the plate to tie the game at 2-2 in the eighth inning.

Taylor said the scoreless streak does not matter to him as long as he still helping out his team.

“It’s baseball, you know,” he said.

“It’s not always going to bounce your way every inning but you got to keep pounding, keep grinding, keep doing it

TEXAS TECH QUARTERBACK Davis Webb throws the ball before the spring scrimmage Saturday at Grande Communications Stadium in Midland.

A-Rod debuts at first base as Yanks beat Houston 7-0 “Maybe next time I’ll play five innings; I know Joe is trying to ease into it a little bit,” Rodriguez said. “I think the most challenging parts are going to be bunts, first and second when I have to throw across the diamond. But I’m used to throwing the ball across the diamond, so that’s an asset.”

A-Rod has played 1,272 games at shortstop and 1,189 at third in his big league career.

“You’d think he’d be pretty good around the bag, even scooping, because you get a lot of those hot shots around third base,” said Girardi, who wants to look at Rodriguez at first base again before spring training ends.

As for using him at his new position during the regular season, the manager added: “It’s not something that we’re looking to do, but if something happens to one of our other guys, I would feel comfortable throwing him out there.”

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Alex Rodriguez played first base for the first time in his professional career Sunday, handling three chances in three innings during the New York Yankees’ 7-0 win over the Houston Astros.

“It was fun,” Rodriguez said. “It was quite interesting, after 20 year in the league, to see the game from a totally different lens.”

The 39-year-old, who lost his third-base job to Chase Headley during a season-long drug suspension, caught Headley’s throw following Jose Altuve’s grounder leading off the bottom of the first.

He bobbled Evan Gattis’ second-inning grounder to his right, recovered and threw to pitcher Nathan Eovaldi at first for the out, then caught second baseman Stephen Drew’s throw on Colby Rasmus’ two-out grounder. Yankees manager Joe Girardi took out Rodriguez after 3 1/2 innings.

On Sunday, the Texas Tech baseball team won a deciding gamethree matchup against the Kansas Jayhawks in front of 3,812 fans.

The Jayhawks had their leadoff batter reach bases in 7 of 9 innings.

With a 4-4 tie game in the sixth inning, Kansas scored two runs and never looked back.

Freshman utility player Quinn Carpenter went 3 for 4 at the plate for his fifth multi-hit game of the season, according to a Tech Athletics new release.

Senior right-handed pitcher Corey Taylor kept his streak of earned-run scoreless innings alive after throwing one and a half innings.

“So far, (our shortstop and second basemen) have played a lot. They show up every day and are ready to play,” he said. “They did turn some nice double plays. There was a lot of good things in that game even though the result is not

Society, Phillips said, and there were even dogs available for adoption at Rip Griffin Park.

“We’ve been taking care getting all dogs checked in,” she said.

“We’re also doing microchipping and rabies shots discounted.”

The discounted vaccines required students to only pay $10 and other fans at the game to pay $25.

Phillips said the vaccination option was promoted more heavily this year, and there was a registered veterinarian on site to do the shots.

Overall, Ward said the Mortar Board team brought more than 40 volunteers to assist with the event.

“We reached out initially (to the humane society) and then from there just kind of said ‘this is what we can do,’” he said. “Then Mortar Board worked with the humane society for all the logistics of getting it out here.”

Despite the streak ending, Taylor went on to earn his second win of the season.

In the bottom of the inning, sophomore outfielder Anthony Lyons pinch hit and broke the tie with a single that drove Gutierrez in from third. He is hitting .625 as a pinch hitter this season.

Senior right-handed pitcher Dominic Moreno came in with two outs in the ninth inning and two runners on base. He earned the save with a strikeout on the last batter to give Tech its first conference series win of the season.

“It was just one of those moments when I was on the bench and (Tadlock) tells anybody on the bench to be ready, no matter the situation, to always be ready,” Lyons said. “Coach Tadlock got me the opportunity to go up there and swing the bat. I just did the best of my ability.” ➤➤@JeremyK_DT
