Tech schedules series with Pac-12 team The Texas Tech football team has scheduled a home and home series with the Arizona Wildcats for the 2019-2020 seasons, the school announced Tuesday.

Both teams were members of the Border Conference from 1932-1956 and Tech currently leads the all-time series with 26 wins compared to Arizona’s four. The Red Raiders and Wildcats have also tied twice.

When the two teams face off on Sept. 14, 2019, it will be the first time they have met since 1989, according to Tech Athletics, when the Red Raiders earned a 24-14 win against an Arizona team ranked No. 20 in the nation.

In 2020, the Wildcats will come to Lubbock on Sept. 19 to play the second and final game of the series at Jones AT&T Stadium. ➤➤@TheDT_Sports

Bill lets Texas governor declare disease disaster AUSTIN (AP) — Should Ebola or another infectious disease plague Texas again, the governor may declare a state of emergency and cede control of the situation to a state commissioner, under a bill the Texas Senate passed Tuesday.

The measure cleared the upper chamber 25-5 and now heads to the House.

Georgetown Republican Charles Schwertner, a physician, said his bill addresses vulnerabilities exposed last year when a Liberian man contracted Ebola and died in Dallas. Two nurses also contracted the disease but survived.

Schwertner said Texas avoided a wider outbreak, but “we are foolish to think that something like this will not happen in the future.”

The bill would also permit law enforcement to detain someone who may be infected for 24 hours. It specifies if the person is infected with, has been exposed to, or is the carrier of a communicable disease.

Schwertner said the legislation is the first of its kind nationwide.

Texas’ health commissioner already can issue “control orders” restricting the travel and movement of people infected with, or at risk of spreading, infectious diseases. But there are no legal consequences until someone violates those orders.

Former Gov. Rick Perry said that provision was so problematic that it prompted him in October to urge President Barack Obama to impose an air travel ban from countries hardest-hit

by Ebola.

Texas texting, driving bill pending

By KAITLIN BAIN Senior reporter

After being voted on in the Texas House of Representatives, House Bill 80, or the Alex Brown Memorial Act, has moved on to the Senate to be reviewed and voted on.

Brown was a high school student, according to the Alex Brown Foundation website, and was killed in a crash caused by texting and driving on the way to school one morning.

It was a one-car crash, according to the website, and Brown was launched out of the passenger side window. The cab of her pickup truck landed on her as it rolled.

“We don’t want to see parents having to

bury their children,” Jeanne Brown, mother of Alex Brown, said. “We don’t want to see siblings having to live without their older brothers or sisters like Katrina is having to do. It’s just madness.”

It was Brown’s situation, as well as popular support from the public, that inspired the authoring of this bill, U.S. Rep. Tom Craddick of District 82 and co-author of the bill, said.

If the bill passes, it would regulate the use of portable wireless communication devices while operating a motor vehicle and makes operating a cell phone while driving a criminal offense, according to the bill.

“Text-based communication means data other than a telephone number or global

positioning system data that is read from or manually entered into a wireless communication device for the purpose of communication with another person, including an SMS text, email or instant message,” according to the bill.

Lt. Ray Mendoza with the Lubbock Police Department said the department supports the bill from a safety standpoint because many people use cell phones while driving and it can be a dangerous chance to take.

“All you have to do is pull up to an intersection now and a good percentage of the people are going to be on their phone, so they’re texting or talking or sending emails, so forth,” he said. “We want the law to come

into effect and then people start to practice safer driving habits.”

Becky Ozuna with the Texas Department of Transportation media relations said distracted driving caused one in five traffic crashes in Texas and the problem is getting worse.

“Last year there were more than 100,000 — 100,556 — traffic crashes in Texas that involved distracted driving,” she said. “That’s an increase of 5 percent from 2013 and it’s completely unacceptable.”

The bill does allow for certain exclusions, unlike a law currently restricting the use of a cell phone in a school zone.

Students aim to clean, help environment Staff Writer

Recycling has become more prominent in the past few years, and Texas Tech is making efforts to keep up with the times.

Clean Up The Environment Club is a Texas Tech student organization, better known as CUTE, for campus residents who are committed to promoting sustainability and helping the environment, according to the organization’s website.

“CUTE was formed by a committee of the Residence Halls

Association four years ago,” Caitlin Cole, vice president of finance and administration and the chairman of the CUTE Club, said. “The committee was formed to help residents work together to beautify campus and to raise awareness about recycling and sustainability.”

Recycling helps ensure humans have a beautiful place to leave behind for this generation and future generations to come, Cole said.

The club members are trying to raise more awareness about the resources available, she said.

Craddick said the reason the fines were added in the bill was to continue to receive national CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 government funding.

If humans do not take care of resources now, then they will eventually be lost, she said.

“To me, CUTE is a way to make Texas Tech students as well as the Lubbock community more aware of environmental sustainability and ways to help keep our campus, our city and our planet beautiful,” Alyssa Glover, co-chairman of the CUTE Club, said. “CUTE goes beyond our campus. It brings light to sustainability initiatives and educates people on how to clean up the environment.”

Lubbock’s recycling center cally talks about the signage they have, so if TxDOT has a sign out there when you come out of an airport, all the amendment says is at the bottom of the signage on there that we have it (a texting and driving ban) in Texas. So if you landed at the Midland airport and you drive out in a rental car so you’ll know they have a texting and driving ban.”

The Texas Department of Transportation is contributing to decreasing the problem of texting and driving in other ways as well, Ozuna said, as they will launch the annual Talk, Text, Crash campaign in April, which is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month.

The bill was passed in the House of Representatives, according to the Texas legislature website, and has now moved on to be discussed by the Senate and, if passed, will move on to Governor Greg Abbott’s desk.

“It’s important for the legislative process for there to be a thorough and robust debate in both the House and Senate and see how the House and Senate vote on it,” Abbott said in a statement. “For each measure that does pass both the House and Senate, I’ll give it the deep consideration it deserves.”

If the bill is passed, it will go into effect Sept. 1, according to the bill.

recently stopped taking glass, Cole said, and Tech has served as a place to pick up the slack.

Several families have gone to the Recycling Center at Tech to drop off recyclables there, she said.

The Recycling Center is located near the physical plant on campus, Glover said, and it is across the street from the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center and behind the Exercise and Sport Sciences building.

Books, newspapers and glass are recycled there, Cole said.

“I think Tech has improved

their recycling efforts,” she said.

“Growing up in Austin, recycling was a more common thing there, but many people didn’t grow up recycling.”

Since Cole arrived at Tech the university as a whole has done a wonderful job promoting recycling and sustainability overall, she said.

There are now Sunday campus cleanups, she said, and the CUTE Club members are participating in Recyclemania, a recycling contest, this year.

During move-in weekend in the fall, a total of 21 tons of

cardboard were recycled at Tech, Glover said.

“CUTE strives to ensure that as a campus, we are not harming our environment,” Glover said. “We want to prevent and reduce negative impacts on the environment from our campus and community.”

Informing people about the importance of recycling is one of the biggest things the club needs to do, Cole said.

“As residents, we should take responsibility for the campus that we live on,” she said.

Student addresses sexual assault through film

By KRISTEN BARTON La Vida Editor

At age 17, Holley Baker, a graduate student studying art education from Arlington, was sexually assaulted. It took her 10 years to fully understand what she went through, she said.

“At that time I believed rape could only occur whenever you were in a parking garage and a masked man with a gun jumped out of the bushes and attacked you and that was it, everything else you just didn’t fight hard enough to make somebody stop,” she said. “It really shaped my interpersonal relationships as I finally started coming to terms with my own assault. I started finding more and more of my friends had gone through the same thing and either they tried to ignore it or they wouldn’t have any kind of support.”

Now Baker is working on her thesis at Texas Tech by making a documentary film about the personnel who take care of sexual assault victims and survivors, she said. From the police to nurses to victims’ friends and families, Baker wants to tell the stories of those who sexual assault victims and survivors turn to during their healing process.

Baker spent part of her life

pursuing war photography and originally wanted the focus of her documentary to be veterans transitioning back into civilian life, she said. As she started interviewing subjects she spoke to a female who was sexually assaulted during her time in the military.

After the woman was assaulted she was ostracized from her unit and no one believed her story, Baker said. This caused her to shift the focus of her film to sexual assault survivors and those who help them heal.

While working on her film, Baker has been working with Future Akins, coordinator for Master of Art Education program. Baker went to Akins when she began her documentary.

“We would talk about her work and we realized sexual assault in the military is an issue and victims go through a lot of pain when telling their story,” Akins said. “We realized the story that often isn’t told is those who take care of sexual assault survivors, so she decided to tell that story.”

Baker has looked at the options students who have experienced sexual assault have on campus. She specifically looked at the Define Your Line campaign a group of students and professors started in the College

of Media of Communication, she said.

According to the campaign website, Define Your Line is a campaign focused on having a conversation about consent.

People can submit and answer questions anonymously.

“I think it’s amazing because it doesn’t deal directly with sexual assault or violence,” Baker said. “It deals with consent and addresses the issue before it happens.”

She wants the documentary to start a conversation about sexual assault and about how society can improve the support system, she said.

“I think this country has a very unhealthy relationship with sex,” Baker said. “You look at other countries and they don’t have the objectification of women we do and I think it’s mostly because a lot of people think ‘well it’s not going to happen to me or anyone I care about’ or ‘it’s not a problem in my town or on my campus or in my military unit.’”

Sexual assault is everyone’s problem, Baker said. The more people talk about it and try to address and fix it, the closer to a solution society gets.

“As far as statistics are concerned, one in four women expe-

rience sexual assault,” she said.

“In my experience it’s generally been closer to three out of four experience it and only one out of four report it.”

Baker said she realized if she was going to do a documentary

that meant something to her, this was the route she needed to choose.

The most rewarding part has been those who have experienced sexual assault referring to themselves as survivors instead

of victims, she said.

“One thing I have noticed that’s amazing is more and more of the people I talk to are calling themselves survivors and not victims,” Baker said. ➤➤@TheDT_LaVida

Internships provide experience for students in their fields

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff WritEr

Gaining experience is essential to getting a job after graduation. Though taking opportunities through internships can be stressful, closely analyzing an internship can prove to be helpful.

“It is no longer just because I have a journalism degree I can only intern or work at a TV station or a newspaper,” Aleesa Ross, director for the Center for Student Success, Outreach and Engagement, said.

“That communications foundation that all of our students have enables them to pretty much go anywhere and do anything.”

The first priority a student has to take into account is what exactly anything means, Ross said. With a need for communications students, along with other majors in demand, the experiences can be helpful, but not always useful.

“The biggest benefit is to help you figure out what you want to do within the field,” she said. “Because our students have a broad foundation that they gain, that means they can do lots of different things.”

So not only would the experience in a real-world work environment be useful, but the opportunity to

re-think a career plan is also open, she said. It helps a student narrow down what they want to do in the field, and they figure out what they don’t want to do.

“It’s always best to keep in mind the main areas of work you’re looking for,” Amy Bafford, associate director of Employer Relations for the Career Center, said. “Make sure it’s in line with your studies.”

Being weary of any position for any company is a decision many students can overlook, Bafford said.

That’s why it is always best for a student to seek advice from the University Career Center.

“Sometimes it does feel right, it’s more of a part time job and you feel like you’re doing all of the grunt work,” she said. “That’s not good experience.”

Looking at a company’s website or a LinkedIn page of an individual will go a long way, Bafford said.

“In general it is definitely being weary of how you find them,” Cameron Skoczlas, a career counselor for the College of Media and Communication, said. “So if you aren’t able to track down a website for that company or be aware of where they’re coming from it’s always good to err on the side of caution.”

As a general rule, comfort always

comes first, she said. So if students do not get a good vibe from the company or feels its professionalism is questionable, they should keep searching for different opportunities.

“Try to hint toward things you feel like a person would be seen in, know where you’re getting into, where you’re going to end up,” Skoczlas said. “You feel like you know you can succeed there and you can find that information and know where you’re going.”

The best signs to look for are internships that are posted on websites of a certain company, she said. Going

to the company’s job opportunity page and seeing a real application is always the best bet for success.

“That is the more legitimate posting,” Skoczlas said. “Not to say though, there are some companies out there whose main work is through their website so they don’t feel comfortable having a ‘jobs’ page.”

Every student needs to research what he or she is going to be getting into, she said. It is also smart for a student to know the culture of the company.

“You don’t want to go into an in-

ternship for a business and you have no idea if they sell things, if they help people, if they sell services,” she said. “You need to know what they’re about, not only from the outside but from the inside, and what they are as a company.”

With any internship, a student will always be tasked with the work that may seem low end from the start, she said. Soon the experience will come to shape a person into a more committed and knowledgeable employee.

“Be prepared to fail, be prepared to make mistakes and to be getting

constructive criticism,” she said.

“Also know that if at any time you feel uncomfortable or unhappy with what’s going on or you’re not in a good place, then you need to leave.”

Putting in effort is what the companies will look for, and at the end of the internship experience, the student should feel satisfied, she said.

“It not only will define you as a worker, but also defines your relationship with that company,” Skoczlas said, “because the best thing you can get out of an internship is more connections.” ➤➤@MIchaelCantuDT

Sex in films can be educational for viewers Mark Tijerina

mitted diseases, so it is important to practice safe sex.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, “20 million new sexually transmitted diseases are diagnosed each year among people aged 1524 years.”

Y o u n g adults are typically known for being sexually adventurous, but is a onenight stand really worth an STD? No. T h e film’s purpose is not to instill fear in young individuals to prevent them from engaging in sex — instead it is showing the importance of being safe when having sex.

One main precaution would be

“

to make sure you personally know the individual you are choosing to sleep with.

The young girl in the film makes the mistake of trusting a guy she barely knows and having sex with him.

This leads her to be “cursed” and “followed” by different entities attempting to kill her.

The metaphor is to know your sexual partner before engaging in any act of intimacy with them.

T h e film makes it clear the curse has been passed from person to person, highlighting how simple it is to transfer an STD. It is also hard to identify the actual originator of the disease, making it almost impossible to warn others of the infected individual.

This is a real-life issue some people are too embarrassed or afraid to admit having.

The consequences of knowingly having an STD and not warning your sexual partner are severe, therefore it is important to always use protection.

A one-night stand may not always leave you with an STD, but the person you had sex with will always linger in the back of your head or even in person.

If you run into the person you’ve been sexually active with recently in the Student Union building or in the library, or even if you’re caught wearing his or her T-shirt, can you imagine how many other people have been sexually active with the same particular person?

You may believe you’re sleeping with one person, but how many sexual encounters has that particular person had? How many sexual encounters have you had?

How many people have you truly slept with?

The true answer is you will never know and currently you probably are still unaware if your sexual partner truly tested negative for STD’s.

This film leaves audiences with persisting fear — the fear of not knowing what has followed you after your last sexual encounter.

The directors take on an epidemic that seems to increase with every new generation.

Such epidemic has proved to be successful in being entertaining and educational for many. It is not fear I am attempting to promote, but safety.

By practicing safe sex and remaining cautious about who you choose to partake in sexual intercourse with, you are choosing to remain STD free.

This film does not follow the raunchy horror genre cliche of adding sex and nudity in the film simply for the R-rated rating, but instead uses the images of sex and nudity to educate audiences on sexual aggression and lingering sexual innuendos.

ecently I watched the film “It Follows,” and found it to be an artistic portrayal of the younger generation’s sexual promiscuity and the dangers that can lead to. Sex can be dangerous both physically and emotionally, so it is important to take caution when committing sexual acts.

The film follows a young girl’s encounter with a spirit that follows her every move in an attempt to kill her. The only way to get rid of the spirit is to partake in sexual intercourse, which causes the spirit to then follow the individual the girl had sexual relations with.

The premise may seem complex but it is actually very simple — the person you have sexual intercourse with receives your curse.

The tactic is to reveal how promiscuity can lead to the transference of sexually transmitted diseases and even bad memories related to the individual, which will follow you forever. The film is slated under the horror genre but displays as more of a public service announcement geared toward promoting safe sex.

This film does not follow the raunchy horror genre cliché of adding sex and nudity in the film simply for the R rating, but instead uses the images of sex and nudity to educate audiences on sexual aggression and lingering sexual innuendos.

The film is directed toward a younger audience, which allows the film to address the serious precautions needing to be taken when choosing to have sex.

Students in high school and college make up a huge population of individuals who become victims and transmitters of sexually trans-

Society needs to remain updated with current events

W

ith the ability to look up anything on a whim by using smartphone applications, it’s a shame more students are not aware of current events within the city, country and world.

As students at a public university, the access to information is ample and has a widespread range of viewpoints, which cater to everyone. Information is becoming currency, and with the misrepresentation of truth and catchy headlines, the real stories often get buried under more instantaneous affirmation tales.

This has become a common issue of our generation. Unfortunately, the millennial generation pays more attention to the flashy advertising and status symbols on the fringes rather than print containing real news.

Alex Pernice of Texas State wrote an article on star.txstate. edu about the importance of students being informed about current events.

“Many young adults unfortunately do not realize staying informed is important for a variety of reasons. Reading the news is not something only parents or older folks do — this is something every person, regardless of age, is responsible for,” according to the University Star website.

News is available in every form of media — newspapers, magazines, radio, Internet and television. This means with any schedule a person may have, it is now easier to stay up-to-date with current events. All it takes is adding a new application, talking to others, watching the evening news, picking up a paper or listening to a radio station in the car.

Staying on top of matters that are local, national and global provides individuals with an opportunity to make their perspectives more fo-

Kendra Kimberlin cused as well as develop a healthy skepticism.

“Reading the news keeps student minds sharp and gives them a critical lens with which to examine what they are learning in class. Students should find topics in the news that interest them and stay on top of them, whether through university or outside outlets,” according to the website.

A l e x P e rnice helps develop this article with an emphasis on seeing the world through a different lens and testing the waters to keep your edge as a citizen and student.

This idea is a trickle effect that shows others you care about the changes that will be implemented, in addition to understanding others are going through hard times.

society. Allowing for flexibility in approaches to new marketing and opportunities, as well as filtering up-to-date information through the practice of skeptical criticism, can lead to the potential of growth.

One of my favorite quotes comes from Martin Luther King Jr. He said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” How do we know which things matter without staying current with the news and what is actually taking place around us?

Another quote that is just as potent is one from an old Greek statesman, Pericles, who said, “Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you.” This does not mean your focus should solely be on politics, bec a u s e l e t ’s face it — that would be depressing. Rather, the point is to find a healthy interest in something that impacts others and stay with it until the correlation of other topics comes into play in order to open your mind to a variety of current events at the moment.

Workshops help organizations transition officers

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

Texas Tech has many organizations for students to be involved in, and these organizations are largely student run with the support of an adviser as needed.

Many clubs have officers in charge of running the organization, and these officers often transition every year after elections.

Christopher Watts, a graduate student studying higher education from Edenton, North Carolina, and a graduate assistant for the Center for Campus Life, said the Student Involvement division oversees all student organizations.

“ We t r y t o d o b e t w e e n one and two workshops each month,” he said. “At the beginning of the semester we started out with some sessions on creating executive leadership teams, a session specifically for graduate students and our last session was on brand management.”

Student Involvement will be hosting its next workshop about officer transitions from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on April 9 in the Lubbock Room of the Student Union building.

It is important for clubs to document things during the transition, Watts said, and new officers should have access to

online passwords for anything they will need to manage for the organization.

Former officers should also take the time to work with the newly-elected officers, Watts said, and this allows the new officers to ask any questions they have and get advice.

David Underwood, a senior wildlife biology major from Dimmitt, said he is currently the president of the Range, Wildlife and Fisheries Club, which is currently in the process of transitioning officers.

“I’ve been the president for the last two years,” he said. “Our new adviser is setting up a meeting for

Rolling Stones announce North American tour LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Rolling Stones are zipping across North America again.

The rock band announced a 15-city stadium tour Tuesday that will kick off May 24 at Petco Park in San Diego, California.

Other stops include Columbus, Ohio; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Dallas, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Orlando, Florida; and Nashville, Tennessee.

The so-called “Zip Code” tour will once again reunite singer Mick Jagger, drummer Charlie Watts and guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood.

The last time the Rolling Stones played North American stadiums was during their “A Bigger Bang Tour” in 2006. They

opted for arena venues for their “50 & Counting” tour in 2012 and 2013.

“We love being out on the road and it is great to come back to North America,” said Keith Richards in a statement. “I can’t wait to get back on the stage!”

And quite the stage it will be, including a section that juts far into the crowd, allowing the Stones to interact with fans. As is the band’s practice, the stage design will employ cutting-edge technology to enhance the performance, including video screens and special effects.

Other cities on the “Zip Code” tour include Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Kansas City, Missouri; Raleigh,

“She has not only helped a number of organizations go through that transition period, but she’s given presentations on officer transitions previously,” he said. “She has not only the experience of going through the process herself and advising organizations, she can help others understand how to go through that process themselves.”

After the actual workshop, students have the opportunity to interact with the speaker, and Watts said students typically stay to get more information by asking

specific questions.

Students interested in attending the officer transition workshop should register on OrgSync, and Watts said this allows Student Life to provide free food and tailor the topics in workshops to those attending.

“We really want to make sure that student organizations have the best opportunity to be successful,” he said. “Events like this offer them that opportunity. Not only are student organizations doing all the amazing things they’re already doing, but now we’re offering them another opportunity to expand that even further.” ➤➤@JenRomeroDT

Who’s Who in music streaming: Tidal, Spotify, Pandora, more NEW YORK (AP) — Since Apple shook up the music world with iTunes a little more than a decade ago, online music has exploded and become the central way many people enjoy and discover music. Internet services such as Pandora and Spotify have millions of users. Now, several high-profile musicians are behind what’s being billed as the first artist-owned music-streaming service.

Tidal isn’t new, but it’s getting a reboot from rapper Jay-Z, who bought the Scandinavian company behind it, Aspiro. Madonna, Rihanna and Beyonce are among the co-owners. That’s notable because many artists complain about how little payment they get from other music services, such as Spotify.

As owners, artists could insist on better deals.

There are now three main ways to get music, and many services offer a blend: — Pay per song. Apple’s iTunes has made it easy to buy singles or albums. Many artists release new albums early through iTunes. Google and Amazon now compete, but the premise remains the same: Buy songs or albums to own forever.

— Unlimited listening. For a monthly subscription of about $10, you can listen to as many songs as you want on a variety of personal computers, phones, tablets and other devices.

Many also let you download songs for offline playback. Once you stop paying, though, you lose all your songs, even ones you’ve already downloaded. Some offer free versions with ads and other restrictions, such as song selection only on PCs. — Internet radio. You can’t choose specific songs or artists, as you can with the unlimited-listening services. But you can fine-tune your Internet stations by specifying a song, artist, genre or playlist.

The station will then stream songs similar to your choices. You can personalize stations further by giving thumbs up or thumbs down to songs you hear.

Music services typically have deals with all major recording companies, so they differ mainly in features rather than song selection. That said, Taylor Swift took her music off Spotify last fall in a dispute over fees. All but her most recent album are on Tidal, Rdio and Beats.

Here’s a look at who’s who in music streaming.

SPOTIFY One of the most popular music services, with 60 million active users worldwide, and a quarter of them paying subscribers. Just this week, Spotify launched an app on Sony’s PlayStation game console. The two companies worked closely to make listening seamless, so music can be heard in the background while playing games, without losing the game’s sound effects, for instance. Spotify offers unlimited listening and Internet radio. It’s free with ads; on mobile devices, users are limited to Internet radio and can’t choose songs. Paying $10 a month gets you an ad-free premium service that of-

the new and old officers to discuss the future of the club. I already have everything together to give the new president.”

The overall goal of the Student Involvement division is to host programs to help students connect to Tech and other classmates, according to its website, and it encourages students to be involved in student organizations.

While students do not need to take advantage of the Student Involvement programs, Watts said the workshops are helpful because the presenters are experienced in the topics they are speaking about.

Duffield’s leap makes him No. Red Raiders take trip to Waco 1 high jumper in entire world

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff WritEr

After a 21-6 home loss Sunday to the Oklahoma Sooners, the Texas Tech softball team heads to Waco to face the Baylor Bears in a three-game series starting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Getterman Stadium.

The Sooners opened the series with a 9-1 win. Propelled by five home runs, Oklahoma followed its opening win with a 13-5 six-inning win over Tech.

Tech’s 21-6 loss to the Sooners sealed the series sweep for Oklahoma.

The Red Raiders trailed Oklahoma 10-6 at end of the fourth inning, but the Sooners ran in 11 runs at the top of the fifth to end their final game of the series against Tech in five innings.

Coach Gregory said the team had to take the positive out of its series versus the Sooners to move past the series loss.

By EVERETT CORDER SportS Editor

Saturday was the final day of competition in Austin for the 88th Texas Relays and junior JaCorian Duffield helped the Texas Tech track and field team end it with a bang.

Duffield finished at the top of his event, the high jump, by clearing a bar set at 2.31 meters, or 7 feet 7 inches, the highest current mark in the world.

Tech coach Wes Kittley said he could not be more proud of Duffield and the rest of his team, and the high jump made the weekend especially great.

“This was just a fabulous way to end the meet,” Kittley said. “I’m proud of the way each of our athletes competed today.”

Duffield hit the new school record and world-leading mark just two weeks into the 2015 outdoor season after winning the National Championship in the high jump earlier this month.

Although Duffield was able to clear a height of 7 feet 6 inches at the NCAA Indoor National Championships, he said he prefers jumping outdoors.

“It’s a lot warmer. You don’t have to warm up and stay warm in between jumps. The heat kind of does that for you,” he said. “And the crowd, it’s a little bigger for outdoor, so once you get the crowd going it kind of helps you.”

At the Texas Relays Duffield was able to feed off the crowd while he was in competition, he said.

This was Duffield’s fifth-straight season to jump at the meet in Austin, he said, and he was pleased to have the performance he did.

“I’ve been jumping there since my senior year of high school,” he said, “so they’ve definitely been very supportive of me out there.”

Once he got over the 7-7 bar,

“I think that you have to look for the good or you’re going to wallow in self-pity,” Gregory said. “If you don’t do that, you miss opportunities and you don’t teach kids the right things.”

Baylor awaits Tech after winning its opening series of Big 12 play versus the Oklahoma State Cowgirls. The Bears took the first two games versus the Cowgirls 2-1 and 8-7, but dropped the last game of the series 1-0.

Oklahoma State’s one-run win against the Bears ended a 10-game winning streak for Baylor.

Tech’s matchup versus Baylor marks a special occasion for freshman outfielder Kaylee Strickland, as she faces her sister Jordan, a Baylor senior infielder, for the first and only time.

“It’s her senior year, so she’s also trying to make it back to the World Series,” Strickland said. “If we can take that from her, then no mercy.”

In Tech’s last six games versus Bay-

lor, it has won only one game. Tech’s last win over the Bears came in 2013 at Waco as the Red Raiders ran in six runs versus Baylor’s four.

To stay in contention with the Bears, Gregory said Tech’s defense must have good outings to avoid a result similar to the one it suffered versus Oklahoma on Sunday.

“I don’t think that pressure just resounds to our pitching staff,” Gregory said. “We have to limit the walks and home runs, but we have to make the plays that we should make. We can’t give extra outs to great teams.”

Sophomore outfielder Ashley Fultz said Tech has focused on stopping Baylor from making them play differently than how they intend to.

“We’re good, we got to play to our full potential,” Fultz said. “We just have to stick to our plan, and trust our plan is going to turn out.” ➤➤@DGaytanDT

TECH SENIOR HIGH jumper JaCorian Duffield clears the bar at an indoor track and field meet earlier this year. Duffield cleared a height of 7 feet 7 inches last weekend to giving him the No. 1 ranking in the world.

Duffield said, there was a moment of celebration, but then he began focusing on the next bar he had to clear.

Duffield was unable to clear again once the bar was raised, which he said was disappointing, but also motivated him to work harder.

“High jump always keeps you motivated,” he said, “because you always end on a miss. I mean, I had a decent attempt at 7-8, but a little sour taste with a lot of sweet. I wanted that next bar.”

The world’s current No. 1

high jumper still thinks he can go higher, however.

Duffield said his main goal right now is to be consistent on his jumps from meet to meet, but he has goals set higher than 7-7.

“It’s just the beginning of outdoor,” he said. “If I go 7-2 or 7-0 for the rest of the season, it wouldn’t be that special. If I can just be consistent and keep taking attempts at high bars week in and week out I think I can be successful.” ➤➤@EvCorder_DT

Tennessee hires former UT coach Rick Barnes KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — When he gave his farewell press conference after an unwanted exit from Texas, Rick Barnes predicted he’d be coaching again “quicker than you probably think.”

It turns out Barnes already had a pretty good idea where he’d end up.

Barnes had begun talking to Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart about the Volunteers’ coaching

vacancy Saturday, the day before his departure from Texas was announced.

His move from one shade of orange to another became official Tuesday when Barnes was introduced as Tennessee’s new men’s basketball coach.

“At that point in time, yes, it was something that had been discussed and it was something I truly wanted to see happen,” Barnes said.

who was fired Friday after going 16-16 in his lone season at Tennessee amid an NCAA investigation into his twoyear tenure at Southern Mississippi.

Barnes agreed to terms on a six-year contract that will pay him $2.25 million annually.

The 60-year-old Barnes will be Tennessee’s fourth coach in six seasons, and the Volunteers are counting on him to provide stability. Barnes went 402-180 in 17 seasons at Texas, including a Final Four appearance in 2003.

He is 604-314 in 28 seasons overall with stops at George Mason, Providence and Clemson. Barnes has 22 NCAA Tournament appearances — two more than Tennessee has made in its entire history. He has earned NCAA bids 19 of the last 20 seasons.

“We are very, very fortunate today to have hired an elite basketball coach,” Hart said. “That’s what Rick Barnes is. He is definitely an elite coach.”

Hart’s admiration of Barnes was evident in Tennessee’s pursuit of him.

Hart said he flew to Austin, Texas, on Sunday and accompanied Barnes on his trip to Knoxville shortly after that farewell press conference.

“From that moment on, we literally have been together around the clock,” Hart said.

And in the end, Tennessee landed a veteran coach who is savoring a new opportunity.

Texas announced Barnes’ departure in a university release that described it as a mutual decision. Barnes made it clear at his farewell news conference that he was fired and that he told Texas athletic director Steve Patterson he wanted to stay. Barnes said he was given the choice of firing his staff or being fired himself.

“I am driven,” Barnes said. “I’ve had one goal in my life and that would be the chance to play for a national championship. This is a university that provides you with everything you need to do that. I realize how hard that is to do... but that’s the standard we’ll set.”

Although Barnes’ only Southeastern Conference experience is a brief stint as an Alabama assistant from 1986-86, he has plenty of familiarity with his new campus and new boss.

Women’s, men’s Texas Tech tennis teams ranked in the ITA Top 25 Tech men begin Big 12 Conference play against top 10-ranked teams

By BRANDON SOLIZ Staff Writer

FILE PHOTO/The Daily Toreador

TEXAS TECH TENNIS player Connor Curry hits the ball during the match March 22 at the McLeod Tennis Center. Texas Tech defeated Louisiana-Lafayette 6-1.

Following a five-game winning streak, the Texas Tech men’s tennis team jumped from No. 25 to No. 21.

With a record of 16-4 this season the Red Raiders are at their highest ranking of the season so far and are ready to begin Big 12 Conference play.

“The Big 12 is the best it’s ever been,” Tech men’s head tennis coach Tim Siegel said.

“Certainly now, in my mind, the best conference in the country.”

All six of the Big 12’s tennis teams are ranked in the ITA Top 25.

Four of the six Big 12 teams are ranked in the top 10, with Oklahoma at No.1, Baylor at No. 2, Texas at No. 9 and Texas Christian at No. 10.

Te c h b e g i n s c o n f e r e n c e c o m p e t i t i o n a g a i n s t Te x a s Christian at 6:00 p.m. on Thursda y at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center in Fort Worth before taking on Texas this Saturday. “ We h a v e t w o g r e a t o p portunities to beat two top-10 teams on the road,” Siegel said.

“I’m really proud of how our team has come together.”

The Red Raiders last defeat was on February 22 against Clemson and was finished with Tech losing by only one point.

Since then, the Red Raiders have won three of their last five matchups at home and are 5-0 when they play at the McLeod Tennis Center in Lubbock.

The matchups with the No. 9 Texas Longhorns and No. 10 TCU Horned Frogs are on the road.

“ We k n o w t h a t T C U i s good,” Siegel said. “I expect a raucous crowd and a great team.”

Texas Christian is 6-1 in its last seven matchups.

On April 10, Tech returns home for the final three games in conference play, starting with a matchup against No. 30 Oklahoma State.

On April 12, the Red Raiders face off against the top two teams in the nation, the No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners and No. 2 Baylor Bears.

No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 2 Baylor combine for a record of 35-4.

The No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners have lost one game coming by way of the Texas A&M Aggies on February 20, making their overall record 19-1.

Tech is one of the 15 schools in the nation with both the

men’s and women’s teams ranking in the ITA top 25.

The women’s team started Big 12 play last weekend, and after an upset against the No. 13 Oklahoma State women’s tennis team, the Lady Raiders improved to No. 18 in the nation.

Siegel said he has been impressed with the women’s team’s performance and wants his guys to compete with the same intensity as the Lady Raiders.

“It’s great to see how well the women’s team has done over the last few years with Todd (Petty),” he said. “Our team was here going crazy for them last Friday and Sunday and there is nothing we love more than having both our teams in the top 21 in the country is great.” ➤➤@TheDT_Sports

The Lobos responded in the bottom of the fourth inning with

four hits and two batters hit by pitches. They tied the game by scoring four runs in the inning, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Freshman left-handed pitcher Parker Mushinski was hit with the four runs.
