Aiming for Success

Students revamp archery club, try to leave mark on Texas Tech By RYAN ORTEGON Staff Writer

The Texas Tech Archery Club is attempting to make a comeback with new members, leadership and plans to compete. The Tech Archery Club was created in 2012 but then died down and was somewhat forgotten. Kelise Cunningham, a sophomore university studies major from Wichita Falls, and Madison Barry, a freshman speech and language pathology major from San Antonio, decided to take over the club and make it their own. The club has about 28 members so far and hopes to increase that number to between 30 and 40. “We started out with six members, and in one meeting we jumped

to 28,” Cunningham said. “We have people who range from people that have never even held a bow to experts that can disassemble one and can put it back together, so we’ve got a wider range of people.” Cunningham said she wanted to reboot this club because she wanted to leave her mark on Tech and create a club that would be passed on to generations to come. Both Cunningham and Barry said they have had prior experience in archery and look forward to teaching others their skill. “It takes a lot of patience and focus, but it is also really relaxing and fun,” Barry said. The club plans to have several fundraisers as time goes on to raise money to travel to Kentucky to compete in the Collegiate National

Competition for Archery. Cunningham said she hopes with the proper training and guidance, the team can grow to be good enough to beat Tech’s oldest rival, Texas A&M, which has the largest collegiate archery team in the nation. Barry has never done archery for sport and more just for fun, but she said she hopes this new experience will help her transition into the competitive world. Archery can be a stress-relieving outlet that a college student can use to unwind, she said. The team will meet weekly on Tuesday nights at the Lubbock Indoor Archery range to practice, according to the club’s website.

Email scam targets Tech

Students discuss sexual health at event

Several people received potentially dangerous scam emails Monday in their Texas Tech emails. Sam Segran, chief information officer for Tech, said in an email that all the scam emails have been deleted. The email scam was a customized variation of phishing scam that specifically targeted Tech, Segran said. According to Tech IT’s website, a phishing scam occurs when an email sent from an Internet criminal is disguised as an email from a legitimate source. There are many variations of phishing schemes, Segran said. Most of them direct people to a website through a URL where people are asked for sensitive information, such as account credentials and/or to download malware on the system. H o w e v e r, t h e c o n t r o l measures installed at Tech blocked the URL contained in the phishing email before it was able to affect the users, Segran said. All the emails were also deleted on the same night. @sastryshashi_DT

Musician Noah Guthrie performs a song during the Risk Intervention and Safety Education Office’s Pancakes and Chill event. The free event featured free pancakes and consent discussions.

The Texas Tech Risk Intervention and Safety Education Office hosted Pancakes and Chill at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Urbanovsky Park. Pancakes and Chill is a new event the RISE office started this year. This event was one of several scheduled for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Anneliese Bustillo, a RISE prevention specialist, said the RISE office has been working to organize this event for the past five months. Sexual health is a topic commonly considered taboo in Texas, Bustillo said. The RISE office wanted Pancakes and Chill to provide a place where students could get condoms or ask questions about sexual health in a pressure-free environment. The event also featured a free concert. “ We w a n t e d i t t o b e laid back,” Bustillo said. “We got Noah Guthrie and pancakes as a way to get people out.” Guthrie is a popular

musician on YouTube and has performed on “Glee,” Bustillo said. “We wanted to make sure we had someone who played laid back, relaxed music,” Bustillo said. “We knew of his YouTube videos and his appearances on ‘Glee,’ and we felt that he had the right vibe, he was fun, he was approachable.” Guthrie was eager to perform at this event and cooperated when it came to booking him, she said. “We reached out to him on Twitter,” Bustillo said. “We then emailed him and he agreed to come to Lubbock so we got everything finalized. His dad is actually his manager so it made it a lot easier to get set up.” The RISE office was predicting a turnout of about 100 people for the event, Bustillo said. Alexandria Fellers, a microbiology major from Dallas, said she decided to attend the event because it had free food and included good music. Jacqueline Guerra, a graduate architecture student from El Paso, said she stumbled across the event

after leaving class and decided to see what it was. “I saw people and someone singing so I decided to stay,” Guerra said. “I had no idea what the event was for, but I think it was really rejuvenating and it was a chance to get pancakes and have a break.” Kevin Ordonez, a sophomore kinesiology major from Wichita Falls, said he also attended the event to relax and get a break from homework. “I had just gotten out of class and I heard him performing so I decided to check it out,” Ordonez said. “I didn’t plan to come but he ended up being a cool guy so I decided to stay. It gave me an opportunity to clear my mind and take a break from homework.” The next Sexual Assault Awareness Month event RISE is sponsoring is a showing of “The Hunting Ground,” a documentary about sexual assault on college campuses, in the Student Union Building Escondido Theater at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. today. @JessicaGuedeaDT
