Tech accounting program nationally recognized The Master of Science in Accounting program in the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration was recently ranked in several categories one of the top 10 programs in the nation, according to a TaxTalent survey.

The MAcc Tax program, MS Tax program and MAcc overall program were ranked in the survey, according to a Texas Tech news release.

The college has ranked in several national surveys and reports in the past two years, according to the release, including as a top 50 accounting program by the Public Accounting Report.

“When you bring great students together with outstanding faculty, the result is a worldclass program,” Robert Ricketts, director of the School of Accounting, said in the release.

“We are proud of the accomplishments of our alumni, our faculty and our student body, and we expect even better things to come.”

TaxTalent annually ranks undergraduate and graduate tax and accounting programs, according to the release, with corporate tax authorities determining the ranks.

In college, students are thrown into close living quarters, and as a result, are at risk for many different ailments they were at low risk for before, and with measles on the rise, it’s important students know what to look for.

Jane Colmer-Hamood, an associate professor of medical education and immunology and molecular biology, said there is an increase in the number of cases of measles in the United States because of the decreases in vaccination.

“That always causes problems,” she said. “This also means that when people are unvaccinated they can get it in another country and bring it here. Last year most of the cases were imported.”

According to an Associated Press article, low vaccination rates in Europe and other vacation destinations resulted in large outbreaks overseas, spreading to U.S. travelers.

Society also is experiencing a decrease in vaccination rates, according to the article, because of parents with philosophical, religious or medical reasons to not vaccinate their children.

“There’s a very good vaccine that works,” Colmer-Hamood said. “People who are vaccinated and then get boosters when they’re supposed to won’t get the measles. If they’ve only been partially or are completely

Events planned for sexual assault awareness month

By TRAVIS MABRY

Various service learning classes are available to Texas Tech students, and according to the Teaching, Learning and Professional Development Center website, these courses balance the needs of both the students and the community partners through projects.

Among these classes is the Advocacy for the Arts class taught by Linda Donahue, and this is the first semester it has been offered as a service learning class.

Chris Kiley, an arts administration graduate student from Manchester, N.H., said the class will promote the Lubbock Arts Festival from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Wednesday in the free speech area of the Student Union building.

“It’s an opportunity for us to tell people about what the Lubbock Arts Festival is,” he said. “We’re also offering free admission tickets to students, faculty or staff that come by. We’ll also have a Tech artist around doing artwork

branch has participated in the shoe collection process, and Stewart said he is hoping to aid in the collection process by getting students involved.

“We jumped all over the opportunity,” he said. “This is their second year to do it all across Lubbock. They set up different places as drop locations. We are providing a drop location here for students to donate shoes.”

Parker said the goal of the group is to obtain at least 250 pairs of donated shoes and hopes students and staff will consider donating.

“By reaching out to the Texas Tech community, we hope to accomplish our goal of 250 pairs of shoes,” she said. “I hope each student and faculty member at Texas Tech will at least consider cleaning out their closets and donating to this cause.”

Stewart said the shoes collected this year will be sent internationally, and the entire program is a way for the organization to raise the spirits of less fortunate children across the world.

In an attempt to increase awareness about sexual assault, Texas Tech has designated April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

T h e Te c h Wo m e n ’s S t u d i e s Program will be hosting an array of events throughout the month with the purpose of promoting sexual assault awareness.

Tr i c i a E a r l , u n i t c o o r d i n a tor and academic adviser for the Women’s Studies Program, plays a pivotal role in organizing and planning events.

“There are events that we are doing that happen to fall in April, but can be very helpful in awareness month,” Earl said.

There is a three-day conference on the advancement of women April 17-19 in which various topics will be discussed, Earl said.

Tech will also be hosting an event called Denim Day, which is something that started in California and has spread throughout the United States, Earl said.

“Sexual assault does not discriminate on the basis of race, class, gender, age and ability,” Earl said.

“The statistics show that one in five women on a college campus will experience sexual assault of some kind, harassment and potentially rape, as well.”

Earl said they have resources for the aftermath of assault, but the big key on many college campuses around the U.S. is to work on preventive programming, events and training.

According to a TechAnnounce, sexual assaults are possibly one of the least reported and most misunderstood violent crimes.

Leslie Timmons, community educator and volunteer coordinator at the Lubbock Rape Crisis Center, also plays a key role in promoting awareness of sexual assault.

“Last Saturday we had our Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Men’s March,” Timmons said.

unvaccinated, then they are at risk for getting measles.”

There are several groups more at risk for contracting measles, she said, and this includes travelers who are unvaccinated, young children who may be exposed to measles through siblings and college students in close environments with peers.

With an increased risk, it is important for students to know how they can prevent measles and what to do if contracted, she said.

The measles are highly contagious, Anne Schuchat, media spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, it can spread easily in the air.

“In closed rooms, it’s easy for infected droplets to linger in the air long after the infected person has left the room,” she said.

“Those with measles can also spread the infection to others before they even show symptoms and realize they are infected.”

Once the infected person does begin showing symptoms, Colmer-Hamood said, it is very obvious this person is sick.

It first looks like a very intense cold, which lasts for a couple of days, she said, and then turns into a rash all over the face and body with a high fever.

“They honestly just look and feel absolutely miserable,” Colmer-Hamood said, “but it should really only last about a week.”

One group of students is looking to make an impact by partnering with the Buckner Foster Homes of America’s program to bring shoes to underprivileged children across the world.

Blake Stewart, a senior mechanical engineering major from Midland, said the idea to help the Buckner program started as a group project for a class.

“It started with our management operations class,” he said. “Our teacher told us to choose a project oriented around something volunteer based. We landed on the Lubbock branch of Buckner Foster Homes of America and asked what we could help them out with, and this seemed like a perfect opportunity for our class.”

The group consists of Stewart, Katherine Parker, a junior advertising major from Breckenridge, Daniel Reyes, a senior mechanical engineering major from Dumas, Drew Monte, a senior human sciences major from Lubbock and Mitchell Turnbow, a ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

junior mechanical engineering major from Flower Mound.

For more than 135 years, Buckner International has been an organization aimed at reaching out and aiding vulnerable children across the world. Buckner provides a variety of help including foster care services and family hope centers, according to the Buckner website.

The Shoes For Orphan Souls program is the largest humanitarian project of Buckner and provides new shoes and socks to orphans and other poor children, according to the website.

Parker said she is excited to aid the organization in the shoe drive because she knows students are able to make a large impact.

“I’m so excited to work on this project because from my past experience with philanthropic, I have gained insight into how large of an impact students can make,” she said. “I have a feeling it’s going to grow into something much bigger than simply a grade.”

New enrollment record set at HSC Windows XP computers at potential risk

The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center set a new enrollment record this semester and has increased its student population by more than 6 percent since last year.

During the spring 2014 semester, a total of 4,230 students enrolled in one of HSC’s five schools, according to an HSC news release.

Last year, 3,973 students enrolled at HSC, according to the release, with the School of Nursing having the highest enrollment both years.

“Having record enrollment for

the spring semester at TTUHSC is outstanding,” Chancellor Kent Hance said in the release. “Over the last seven years, enrollment at TTUHSC has increased more than 80 percent, while we have continued to increase the academic quality of our students and address the health care needs of the state of Texas.”

This semester, the School of Nursing has 1,618 students enrolled, according to the release.

With 1,269 students, the School of Allied Health Sciences had the

second highest enrollment.

The School of Pharmacy has 629 students, according to the release, and the School of Medicine enrolled 582 students total. The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences has 132 students.

The increase in enrollment will aid in the shortage of health care providers in Texas and in the nation, Rial Rolfe, executive vice president for academic affairs and chief academic officer, said in the release.

After 12 years, Microsoft will no longer provide support for Windows XP as of Tuesday, meaning computers still running the operating system may be at security risk.

David Dilcher, emeritus professor at Indiana University, and his team discovered angiosperms from 125 million years ago, according to a Tech news release.

“Today, flowering plants are highly diverse with more than 250,000 species,” Sankar Chatterjee, Horn Professor of Paleontology, said in the release.

Mass shooting victims’ families helping Fort Hood DALLAS (AP) — Dozens of families who lost loved ones during Sept. 11, the mass shooting at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook elementary school and other attacks are trying to support victims of similar tragedies with a new fund whose first efforts will focus on last week’s shootings at Fort Hood.

The National Center for Victims of Crime told The Associated Press on Tuesday that about 70 families are supporting the fund to provide no-strings-attached

cash payments. Victims’ family members said they joined the effort out of frustration with how donations were allocated after their own tragedies.

Caren Teves, whose son killed in the 2012 movie theater shootings in Aurora, Colo., said she came up with the idea after learning that a Colorado nonprofit had raised millions of dollars using the names and photos of her son and the 11 other victims without their knowledge or consent.

Opinions

Perry should not run for president in 2016 Andrew Gleinser Perry will probably run, but should he? The quick and correct answer is no.

For starters, Perry will have to overcome his disastrous 2012 run.

While the failed attempt gave him name recognition, that’s not always a good thing. Voters will have a difficult time forgetting his epic gaffe.

A number of other issues will also be brought up against Perry, some of which have plagued him for years and led to a great deal of unpopularity with Texans, the first of which is the Trans Texas Corridor proposal.

The fateful proposal, if it had been implemented, would “create 4,000 miles of road, rail and utility corridors each as wide as

four football fields,” according to a New York Times article, with the project partially paid for by toll roads.

The land needed to build these superhighways crisscrossing the state, totaling 584,000 acres, would have been seized by the state government from landowners through eminent domain, which was a large reason for the public backlash.

But there was another aspect to the issue, one far more sinister. The contract for building the corridor was given to Cintra, a Spanish company. According to the New York Times article, Perry’s legislative director “had worked for Cintra until three months before the firm was selected.”

Allegations of cronyism also

“

plagued Perry when he pushed for a requirement that Texas girls be given the Gardasil vaccine to prevent human papillomavirus in 2007. A Washington Post article notes that Merck, the company which manufactures Gardasil, had given nearly $30,000 to Perry’s gubernatorial campaigns since 2000.

The article also notes that Merck and its subsidiaries donated heavily to the Republican Governors Association, in which Perry served as chairman, to the tune of more than $380,000. Perry’s campaign received at least $4 million over a five-year period from the RGA. The Gardasil issue was brought up in Perry’s 2012 race.

The Texas Observer published an article last week detailing

... Perry needs to save Texas the embarrassment of another presidential run.

“

O

ne of the more famous clichés in American society is, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”

Unfortunately, when it comes to running for president, Texas Gov. Rick Perry seems to take this to heart.

We all remember Perry’s failed 2012 presidential campaign, which ended with a bang thanks to his inability to remember one of the executive branch departments he wanted to eliminate. Oops.

Perry’s national star quickly faded as he entered the presidential race as the frontrunner and ended with being the butt of political jokes. Now he seemingly wants to try his luck again.

Though Perry hasn’t officially announced that he’s running again in 2016, it seems inevitable at this point. Many pundits are expecting him to enter the race again, citing improved health, continued prosperity in Texas and the fact that he won’t be holding office while campaigning.

GUEST COLUMN

Tech increases recycling efforts, capabilities If you’ve been seeing more blue recently, it’s not your imagination. The operations division services department has begun placing additional recycling containers around campus. When complete, the addition will bring the number of recycling containers in the educational buildings to more than 800.

Large and bright blue, the bins are easily noticed. The containers also sport the universal recycling logo and stickers to indicate bin content. Bin locations will vary according to traffic and recyclable volume. Some existing locations will get additional containers, while other containers will be in new locations.

With the campus community’s help, more than 70 tons of plastic, aluminum and paper were collected during fiscal year 2013. The additional containers and added locations should help to up those numbers considerably.

It is estimated that collection amounts could easily double, possibly triple, if 100 percent of recyclables were discarded in recycling bins rather than thrown in the nearest trashcan.

Operations division services is installing the new containers to aid in this effort.

A companion to the new containers and locations are personal recycling boxes that are available from operations division services. The boxes give users a convenient way to reduce the number of trips to their main recycling container. The small, unobtrusive desk-side boxes are available at no cost to campus offices. They can be requested by calling 806-742-9777.

The last few years have seen dramatic gains in Texas Tech’s recycling success. A great deal of this success is due to campus residents. Their growing desire to responsibly discard recyclables has been, and continues to be, a large factor in the increase of

recycling on campus.

As a result, since 2009, Tech has reduced its landfilled waste stream and almost doubled the amount of recycled materials.

These new bins will help to continue this growth, giving campus residents more, and more convenient, locations for properly discarding their recyclables.

One ongoing concern is bin contamination. Bins are often found with trash or other foreign matter in them, or with recyclable materials placed in the incorrect bin. This crosscontamination must be corrected before buyers will accept the product, adding significant time and labor costs to the recycling stream.

The worst situation is food or other organic matter thrown into a paper bin. This contaminates the entire bin, rendering the contents unacceptable to our buyers. At that point there is no choice but to throw the contaminated material into the landfill.

A question often asked is, “What happens to campus recyclables, and who handles them?”

Collection and transport is a cooperative effort between Housing Services Campus Recycling Center and operations division services. Collected recyclables are sold to local materials buyers, and the funds returned to Tech and used to support sustainability scholarships.

Another question often asked is, “What can I do to help?” The best way to help is to recycle all recyclables all the time. The success or failure of campus recycling at Tech is directly tied to the efforts of students, faculty and staff on campus. Tech has made great strides in its recycling and sustainability efforts, and with the help of campus residents, we will continue that success.

Technological innovation can encourage job creation

By RANDALL HELLMER

The Collegian (Kansas sTaTe U.)

Over the past several years, the job market has been a rough place.

The stock market crash, and the resulting economic slump, threw a wrench into the gears of almost every industry.

While the situation is improving, many people still struggle to find good work, and will likely continue to struggle for some time. The harsh truth is that a lot of the jobs that helped form the backbone of our economy are gone. And they aren’t coming back.

This sort of thing has been happening for a long time, in one form

or another. For decades, manufacturing jobs have been shifting to other countries, where the standards of living are lower and the cost of labor is cheaper. It’s been a stumbling block for economic growth in the United States, and there have been near-constant calls for someone to do something about it. But not only is there little that can actually be done about the situation, but we may be better off not trying.

Economic realities are what have led to many of these migrations. It’s simply more expensive to employ people from the United States to fill those jobs. Giving companies more money, either in the form of subsidies or higher pric-

es, to try and reverse the trend only prolongs an unhealthy relationship.

And it is unhealthy, because at this point, we shouldn’t really want to keep those jobs. Instead, we should be upgrading them with technological innovations.

Right now, computers are radically altering how we go about our lives. Devices like smartphones put what not-so-long-ago would have been the power of a supercomputer at your literal fingertips.

Online social networking, which is still a relatively new thing, has transformed the entire idea of social interaction in only a few years. Reflecting on just the last ten years, it seems the changes the

future has in store are limitless.

The possibilities of our technology are astounding, and we need to invest in it. Whole industries have risen in the wake of the Internet becoming mainstream. Companies like Amazon are reinventing retail, while Youtube, Netflix, Hulu and others represent the evolution of video entertainment. With the internet, even a small company can reach a mind boggling audience.

And that doesn’t include the infrastructure and support employed to keep it all running. The opportunities the Internet offers for virtually every industry cannot be overstated.

Unfortunately, the reality is that not everyone can take advantage of these opportunities. It will be some time yet for advances in technology to permeate the whole of our society. Our infrastructure is struggling to keep up with demand, and access to it represents a luxury for some. But, unlike the barriers that encourage companies to shift jobs away from the United States, these are realities that we can change. We can take steps to improve access to the Internet, and lower the barriers of entry for people currently unable to do so.

The job market is still a rough place. And it’s probably going to stay that way for a while. But we can take a step in the right direction by encouraging growth in new industries, and modernizing those which can benefit from the new possibilities offered by technology.

By doing this, we can take steps to change the dynamic from “who can do work the cheapest” to “who can do work the best.”

Perry’s recent cheerleading efforts to get high-level nuclear waste stored in Texas. One of the companies that could stand to benefit from Perry’s efforts is Waste Control Specialists, which operates a nuclear waste dump in Andrews County and was owned by the late Harold Simmons, a high-profile political donor.

Doubtlessly, Perry’s opponents in the GOP primary will have no qualms about bringing these issues to the forefront. Even if he is somehow able to repair his national image, the allegations of cronyism will follow him wherever he goes.

Even if some voodoo curse were placed on the Republican Party that allowed Perry to win the nomination, his general election opponent, likely Hillary Clinton, would hammer him even more mercilessly.

Even beyond the cronyism, would voters from elsewhere in the country accept another nominee from Texas? After eight years of George W. Bush, many

would likely be reluctant to vote for another candidate from the state. Perhaps that’s unfair, but politics rarely is.

The GOP also needs a candidate who can bridge the gap between strong conservatives and independents. Perry will likely appeal to the far right, but will those in the middle accept him?

A candidate like Senators Rand Paul and Marco Rubio would do much better at that.

Above all, Perry needs to save Texas the embarrassment of another presidential run. His chances of winning are about as good as mine are of being drafted No. 1 overall in the upcoming NFL draft. His popularity in his own state is not particularly high, and neither will it be nationwide.

Perry should simply quit while he’s ahead and ride off into the sunset.

Winston deserves more aggressive investigation

By ADAM MATHIEU

The oraCle (U. soUTh Florida)

Jameis Winston, the star Florida State University (FSU) quarterback who led his team to Bowl Championship Series victory and scored himself a Heisman Trophy, is yet again having the spotlight shown on the darker side of what he is known for.

In December 2012, a student came forward to Tallahassee State Police and FSU reporting that Winston raped her. Yet, the case sat dormant for almost a year as Winston played for the No. 1 ranking Florida State team.

It is alarming that local police and the university did not initially respond with a serious investigation to help the woman who claimed she was raped. Unless this is how all rape cases on campus are handled, then perhaps it could be Winston’s role on the field that has kept him out of the university’s investigation for over a year.

Winston’s teammates Chris Casher and Ronald Darby received five of the school’s code of conduct violations, allegedly creating a hostile sexual situation for Winston and his accuser, with Casher trying to join the sexual act and recording it on his phone.

Winston, on the other hand, is not being held as accountable for his actions as his teammates. He has not had as much action taken against him by FSU administrators, has remained quiet about his actions and has yet to see any violations of the school’s code of conduct.

Both teammates told investigators they saw the quarterback having sex with his accuser, which should have been enough for the school to further investigate his actions — even if what the witnesses saw does not confirm nonconsensual sex.

In January, immediately following FSU’s undefeated season, the university finally began conducting a Title

IX investigation, which deals with sexual discrimination and advances.

However, Winston chose to remain silent when questioned.

The delayed investigation could be interpreted as the school not wanting to press the issue to keep Winston out of trouble.

Additionally, Winston’s refusal to speak on what happened that night is the only thing maintaining his innocence. It seems at this point the only evidence against Winston is the accuser’s story, but that has not been enough to build a case.

Another obstacle for the case is that the accuser has gaps in her recollection from the night, which is not uncommon in cases of sexual assault. It is confirmed that Winston and his accuser had sex that night, but proving it was nonconsensual can only be based on her account of the night — which, unfortunately, is not enough to have a strong case.

The investigation will get another look as the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) is exploring whether or not FSU responded promptly or appropriately to the case, per a request by the accuser and her attorneys.

Given that FSU took over a year to question Winston, it is clear there was no promptness in the case.

Obviously there is no way for anyone not present to know for sure if Winston committed a crime.

However, the OCR should bring to light why this case was delayed for such a long period of time and how the school regularly handles sexual assault cases.

Clearly Winston and the woman accusing him are both seeing a poorly conducted investigation by local police and the university. While FSU should receive criticism for its handling of a sexual assault claim, it would be truly disappointing if news surfaces that any effort was made to keep Winston on the field and out of a courtroom.

Dinner will celebrate local cancer survivors

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

Every year the American Cancer Society hosts local Relay for Life events to raise money to help end cancer and to recognize cancer survivors.

The Relay for Life of Texas Tech is hosting a dinner for cancer survivors at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Gardski’s Loft.

Kaitlyn Klattenhoff, a senior exercise and sport sciences major from Midland, has been involved with Relay for Life for four years and is currently the survivor chair within the organization.

“The organization will provide the survivors with dinner, and we’re all going to sit together,” she said. “This is our first year doing the dinner separately from the actual Relay for Life event. As the night goes, we’ll get to know the survivors.

Then I’ll get up and say a few things and invite them to come to Relay for Life.”

Arts↵

The Lubbock Arts Festival will be hosted Friday through Sunday at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center, according to its website, and various free and ticketed events are scheduled throughout each day.

Randall Rapstine, a performance and pedagogy graduate student from Los Angeles, said the event is affordable and appeals to a wide range of audiences.

“It’s good for everyone from kids to adults,” he said. “One of the big special events they’ve added this year is chainsaw art.

A chainsaw artist will be there showing his previous work as well as actually chainsawing. Then you have takeaway projects for the kids as well. From an advocacy standpoint, it’s a great way for a family to get immersed in art and to see the value in it.”

The festival has had more than 30,000 people attend in the past, Donahue said, and there

The Relay for Life event is at 6 p.m.

Saturday at Urbanovsky Park, and Klattenhoff said some of the survivors are coming to speak.

While the survivors are not required to stay for the all-night event, she said the survivors will have the opportunity to paint their handprints and names on a canvas, which will be displayed at the Hope Lodge.

Erika Rudolph, a senior nutrition major from Fort Worth, said the organization wants to make the dinner and other events more focused on the survivors.

“Having the dinner outside takes away from it being a nice dinner, especially in West Texas with all the wind,” she said. “We figured we would make the dinner nicer this year.”

Between the survivors, their caretakers and the executive committee of the Relay for Life Organization, Klattenhoff

said 22 people are attending the dinner this year.

One of Klattenhoff’s friends is donating a birthday cake for the survivors to have at the Relay for Life event.

“The cake is to celebrate that they’re survivors,” Rudolph said. “It shows that they’re fighting back to have another birthday. Having the cake at the actual event will hopefully draw the survivors in so that they feel included.”

The American Cancer Society strives to eliminate cancer, according to its website, and it also educates the public on how to reduce their cancer risks.

The Relay for Life event in Lubbock helps the nationwide fundraiser for cancer research, and Klattenhoff said last year their event raised more than $54,000.

“This year we’ll have people coming out to cut hair for those who want to donate to Locks for Love,” she said.

will be various booths selling all types of art from visual pieces to quilts and jewelry.

Trevor Wise, an arts administration graduate student from Harris, Mo., said in addition to promoting the Lubbock Arts Festival, the class has also worked with students at Roscoe Wilson Elementary School throughout the semester.

“We’re working with three different grade levels to promote theater and advocacy,” he said.

“All the groups are currently working on playwriting with the students to influence them to become artists.”

Members of the class go to the elementary school every Friday, Donahue said, and there are three scheduled shifts they can attend.

The idea behind the project is to bring art into schools, she said, because Roscoe Wilson does not have an art program.

“We have a fantastic new president in President (M. Duane) Nellis who is very committed to the idea of interdisciplinary communication and research

together,” Kiley said. “If people come and explore the world of art, they may see something new and innovative that is valuable to them. Doing this would speak highly of Tech’s new mission.”

Brooke Wood, a fine arts doctoral student from Greeneville, Tenn., said the class helps most of the current students prepare for managing a nonprofit art organization in the future.

The class can help any art student, Rapstine said, because all artists have to advocate for the arts to sell their work and keep programs funded.

“A number of economic impact studies have been done that show art is intrinsically valuable to the local and national economy,” Kiley said. “Artists as a group contribute 10 billon tax dollars to the system every year.

In some ways we’re underrepresented at the national level, and we feel the need to go advocate for the arts on a number of different levels.”

Thomas Nazworth, a taxation graduate student from Salina, Kan., said he enjoys having

discussions in class and not just being lectured to like he is in most classes.

Art is not a waste of money, because for every dollar spent on the arts, Nazworth said, it raises $7 to $9 in additional revenue in other streams.

“The general impression is that the arts can be marginalized if they have to be,” Kiley said.

“This class is a great opportunity for students who do not have the same exposure to the arts that art students do. The class shows how important arts are to the whole American story. It is up to everyone to advocate for the arts.”

“We usually have a really good student response.”

The Relay for Life of Texas Tech was the first Relay in Texas, according to the Tech chapter’s website, and the organization aims to continue to help in the fight against cancer.

Klattenhoff said Tech students should stay updated about Relay for Life events through Tech Announce, Facebook, Twitter or by stopping by the organization’s table by the Student Union building.

“Even though the dinner is only for survivors, I recommend that community members come out to the actual Relay event,” Rudolph said. “The event is to celebrate and honor and remember every person who has had a battle with cancer and possibly lost it or survived. To have everyone come out and be a part of it is great.”

Texas Tech beats ACU, 19-2

By EVERETT CORDER SportS Editor

The Texas Tech baseball team struck early and struck often Tuesday night at Dan Law Field, defeating Abilene Christian, 19-2.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock said it is always good in midweek games to be able to get ahead early and let the players relax throughout the game.

“It’s good on a Tuesday sometimes to get you a breather,” he said. “You know, get some runs on the board, let the guys come out and relax and get everybody some atbats and some innings.”

The Red Raiders scored seven runs in the first inning, including a three-run home run by Tech sophomore first baseman Eric Gutierrez. It was the third time this season Tech has scored that many runs in an inning.

Tech sophomore catcher Tyler Floyd said opening up the game with so many runs helps the team to settle down and play the rest of the game more relaxed. “(Scoring early) makes it really easy to catch the rest of the game,” he said. “It was a great piece of hitting by Gutierrez, and just good at-bats up and down the lineup in the first inning.”

The heavy offense continued throughout the game, with the Red Raiders scoring

at least one run in each of the first four innings and recording a season-high 21 hits Floyd was a major part of the Red Raiders offensive explosion against the Wildcats, going four-for-six with a triple and three RBIs. Tadlock said Floyd’s performance was impressive, and there were several other players who he left in the game just because they were continuing to succeed at the plate.

“I mean, up and down the lineup was good,” he said. “I know there was a time there that Gutierrez, (Tech junior infielder Tim) Proudfoot and one other guy hadn’t got out, and we were going to leave them in there until they got out.”

Tech freshman pitcher Dylan Dusek started the game for Tech, and gave up one run on four hits in his three innings pitched. Tadlock said it was great to get him out of the game early, and Dusek would most likely be available for the weekend series.

The Red Raiders used five different relievers to finish out the game, and they only gave up one run in the six innings of work.

Floyd said every one of the pitchers performed well and made it easy for him to catch throughout the night.

“Great job by the pitching staff tonight,” he said. “They really made my job easy. All those guys came out and

Last weekend, internet rumors reported that Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury might suit up and play in the football spring game this Saturday.

Before Tuesday’s spring practice, Kingsbury put the rumors to rest, joking that he will stay in retirement and stick to coaching.

“I did not (say I would play). I’m afraid some of our 0.players may try to cheap shot me or late hit me,” Kingsbury said. “So I’m going to stay out of that. I don’t know where that got started, but I’m going to stay away from that.”

threw really well tonight and it was fun to catch them.”

When the Red Raiders faced the Wildcats earlier this season, the game was cut short because of a haboob, but Tech only won 6-2.

Tadlock did not tell the team anything specific before the game, Floyd said, because the coach expects the players to come out and compete hard every day.

“Like coach said, it doesn’t really matter who we’re playing,” Floyd said. “I think before the game he said he didn’t care if it was the Yankees over there, he just wants us to go out and play good baseball every time we go out there.”

The Red Raiders next series begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Dan Law Field against Kansas State. ➤➤sports@dailytoreador.com

BOSTON (AP) — Martin Perez put Boston’s leadoff hitter on base in seven innings. Then the left-hander pitched Texas out of jams by getting five double plays.

That helped the Rangers withstand a late rally and beat the Red Sox 10-7 on Tuesday night.

The double play is “a pitcher’s best friend,” Texas manager Ron Washington said. “They got on base, but he was able to eliminate them.”

Boston’s five double plays were one fewer than the American League record for a nine-inning game shared by eight

teams. The major league mark of seven was set by the San Francisco Giants in 1969.

“Five double plays and we scored seven runs. I’m sure that’s pretty rare, too,” Jonny Gomes said after Boston’s fourth loss in five games. “If we can score seven runs with five double plays, I think we’re scratching the surface on the positive side.”

The Red Sox grounded into double plays by Dustin Pedroia in the first inning, A.J. Pierzynski in the second, Jackie Bradley Jr. in the third, Ryan Roberts in the fifth and Pedroia in the sixth.

After the Red Raiders open practice Friday night, Tech officials were reporting they might have convinced Kingsbury to play in the game to create excitement.

Kingsbury said he never considering playing Saturday.

Kingsbury still ranks second in passing yard and touchdowns at Tech and set 39 school records as well as 17 NCAA records in his collegiate career.

The annual spring game will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium. ➤➤jkrakosky@dailytoreador.com

Red Raider football sets new season ticket record The Texas Tech Athletics Department announced Tuesday Tech football has surpassed its school record for season ticket sales.

A l t h o u g h Te c h ’s h o m e opener with Central Arkansas isn’t until Aug. 30, it is clear Red Raider fans are excited for the upcoming season as 34,100 tickets have been sold for 2014, surpassing the previous school record of 32,227 sold in 2010, according to a Tech news release.

Because the current capacity at Jones AT&T stadium is 60,454 and 38,600 are used for season ticket sales, Tech only needs to sell 4,500 season tickets in order to sell out the stadium for the entire season for the first time in school history, according to the news release.

“We are excited about the opportunity to sell out Jones

AT&T Stadium on a season ticket basis for the first time in school history,” Tech Athletics Director Kirby Hocutt said.

“Our passionate fan base is the source of great pride for this university, and we are grateful for your continued support of the Red Raiders.”

If Tech sells the remaining 4,500 season tickets, individual game tickets will not be made available for purchase.

According to the news release, season ticket holders from 2013 renewed at 90 percent this year, up from last year’s renewal percentage of 79 percent, and a total of 5,849 new season tickets have been purchased since going on sale to the public Feb. 5.

The Red Raiders will host their annual spring game at 11 a.m. this Saturday. ➤➤rrose@dailytoreador.com

Men’s track and field ranked No. 10

Your status might be complicated.

Your ring shouldn’t be.

U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association released its computer rankings for Week 1 Tuesday, and the Red Raiders are ranked No. 10, according to a news release from Tech Athletics.

This four-spot ascension from the preseason rankings follows successful showings in the first three meets for the men’s teams, including the Texas Tech Open on Saturday. Not since the 2012 season have the Red Raiders been ranked in the top 10.

The Red Raiders were not along in the rankings. The Lady Raiders

joined by earning No. 19 in the women’s standings.

These rankings give Tech the distinction of being home to the highestranked Big 12 Conference men’s team currently, according to the release.

Next for the Red Raiders and Lady Raiders is the inaugural ACU Wes Kittley Invitational at Abilene Christian.

Tech coach Kittley, assistant coaches Jon Murray and Cliff Felkins, and academic adviser Suzanne Dickenson are scheduled for recognition prior to the meet at a reception. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com
