exas Tech students, faculty, staff, the Goin’ Band from Raiderland and members of the Lubbock community came to the John Walker Soccer Complex on Sunday evening to celebrate two national championship additions to the university.

The Texas Tech Pom Squad and Co-Ed Cheer program won their respective national championships on Friday in Daytona Beach, Florida, as a part of the National Dance Association, and National Cheerleaders Association Collegiate Cheer and Dance Championship.

The Pom Squad won the Dance Jazz Division 1A and the Co-Ed Cheer team won in the Co-Ed Cheer category, according to a

Tech news release.

Stephanie Rhode, the director of the Spirit Program, said it is the first time for either team to win the national award.

Rhode said she found out about both national championship victories within 20 minutes of each other. While she was celebrating the Pom Squad’s victory on the beach, she also found out about Cheer’s national win.

“I acted a fool (when I found out),” Rhode said. “I ran around on the beach, and then I clapped. I was pretty excited to say the least.

It was totally overwhelming. I thought it could happen. I knew we had the talent for it to happen. I knew we had the coaches and the students.”

Earning a share of the Big 12 Conference title, the No. 5 Texas Tech women’s tennis team defeated West Virginia, 4-0, in its final Big 12 home match of the season on Sunday morning.

The Lady Raiders came into the contest after a win over Iowa State, 4-0, on Friday afternoon.

With the win against West Virginia, the Lady Raiders are now 20-3 overall, 8-0 in conference play and 9-0 at home, according to Tech Athletics.

Tech coach Todd Petty said the women worked hard to get to this point, which makes this title special.

“The difficulties they’ve gone through. They’ve played for this opportunity now a couple of times,” Petty said. “For them to get over it on our home courts and this environment, is really special. They deserve it. They’ve won a lot of matches for Texas Tech. So, the looks on their faces were priceless to me: memories I’ll never forget.”

With the victory, Tech is now on a 13-match winning streak, according to Tech Athletics.

The Lady Raiders have a chance to be Big 12 regular season champions if they defeat TCU this weekend. The match is set to begin at 1 p.m. Saturday in Fort Worth.

Tech started out strong in doubles play. Freshman Alba

Cortina-Pou and sophomore Alex Valenstein finished first and defeated freshman Sofia Duran and sophomore Abigail Rosiello, 6-0.

Junior Sarah Dvorak and junior Sabrina Federici clinched the doubles point when they defeated senior Kaja Mrgole and freshman Christina Jordan, 6-4.

In singles action, junior Gabriela Talaba swept Mrgole in two sets, 6-0 and 6-1, on court one to make the score 2-0.

Federici earned another Tech point after she defeated Duran, 6-1 and 6-2, to make the score 3-0.

The Lady Raiders earned the win after Cortina-Pou defeated Rosiello in two sets, 6-4 and 6-1, to make the final score 4-0.

The Lady Raiders will battle the Lady Horned Frogs on Saturday for a shot at the outright Big 12 regular season title.

“I think more than just having the outright, it’s getting the win against TCU,” Petty said.

“They’re a top-25 opponent, and playing on their courts and having an opportunity to increase our RPI and get ourselves ready for the post-season tournaments is really the main focus there. We’ve never had a Texas Tech women’s team finish undefeated in the Big 12, and that’s a goal, and to be able to finish that at TCU is something we’re inspired to do and would like to bring home.” @A_HernandezDT

Upcoming Tech to Town unites students with community

By REECE NATIONS Staff Writer

Texas Tech students will participate in a day of community service for this year's Tech to Town at 9 a.m. April 22. Volunteers will meet on the east side of Jones AT&T Stadium and will be shuttled to various locations for their service.

"Tech to Town came about as an initiative from a campaign from the 2015 SGA election," Ben Sharp, president of the Student Government Association, said.

"Students wanted there to be a way to say thank you to the city of Lubbock and its residents for being our home while we're at this university."

Both student organizations and individuals looking to make a difference are encouraged to

sign up on the event’s Volunteer Lubbock webpage and participate, Sharp said. Tech to Town provides many different opportunities for community service and engagement, such as public park cleanups or helping at local animal shelters.

SGA encourages students to become regular volunteers in the Lubbock community even after Tech to Town is over, Sharp said.

Although the last day to register for the event was officially April 1, Sharp said registration will be kept open until Saturday. "(SGA) won an award last year from the city of Lubbock for organizing and putting on this event," he said. "(The Lubbock City Council) wrote a resolution honoring us for the positive impact Tech to Town had on the community."

Since last year's event, SGA

has been contacted repeatedly by local community organizations asking if it would have another event this year, Sharp said. As a result, Tech to Town was made an annual event.

A free meal will be provided to each student volunteer, he said. Transportation will also be provided at no cost to students.

"Last year's Tech to Town provided the foundation for this year's event," Avery Martinez, senator at-large and external vice president-elect of SGA, said. "This year, we hope to build on that foundation by adding even more volunteers and community organizations to collaborate with."

Often students can become so caught up with their studies and extra curricular activities that they lose sight of the inclusive community

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's national security adviser on Sunday left open the possibility of additional U.S. military action against Syria following last week's missile strike but indicated that the United States was not seeking to act unilaterally to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad.

In his first televised interview, H.R. McMaster pointed to dual U.S. goals of defeating the Islamic State group and removing Assad. But he suggested that Trump was seeking a global political response for regime change from U.S. allies as well as Russia, which he said needed to reevaluate its support of Syria.

"It's very difficult to understand how a political solution could result from the continuation of the Assad regime," McMaster said. "Now, we are not saying that we are the ones who are going to effect that change. What we are saying is, other countries have to ask themselves some

hard questions. Russia should ask themselves ...Why are we supporting this murderous regime that is committing mass murder of its own population?"

After last Tuesday's chemical attack in Syria, Trump said his attitude toward Assad "has changed very much" and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said "steps are underway" to organize a coalition to remove him from power.

But as lawmakers called on Trump to consult with Congress on any future military strikes and a longer-term strategy on Syria, Trump administration officials sent mixed signals on the scope of U.S. involvement. While Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, described regime change in Syria as a U.S. priority and inevitable, Tillerson suggested that last week's American airstrikes in retaliation for the chemical attack hadn't really changed U.S. priorities toward ousting Assad.

Sunday's event the "Dallas Mega March" said President Donald Trump's executive orders restricting travel from predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East are discriminatory.

They also want an end to hate crimes and hate speech they contend have proliferated since the November presidential election.

The march began at the Dallas Catholic cathedral and was ending nearly 1½ miles (2.41 kilometers) later with a rally at Dallas City Hall where speakers were to include Martin Luther King III. The downtown event also has drawn some entertainers and several predominantly Democratic local officials and state lawmakers.

Dallas teacher Esseiny Alanis, a Mexican immigrant, stood with two fourth-grade students during the rally.

"Every child deserves a right to go to school without fear of losing a parent," Alanis told the Dallas Morning News, referring to the threat of deportation.

A small number of Trump supporters gathered nearby.

Police said there were no arrests.

Former Texas Tech President David Schmidly will speak at the spring commencement ceremonies on May 19 and 20 in the United Supermarkets Arena.

“We are pleased to welcome Dr. Schmidly back to campus to address our graduates at commencement,” Tech President Lawrence Schovanec said in a Texas Tech news release. “It will be a special occasion for our graduates and the Texas Tech community to hear from this distinguished alumnus.”

Schmidly received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in zoology from Tech in 1968.

Then, he attended the University of Illinois to earn a doctorate in the same field, according to the release.

After his time at the University of Illinois, Schmidly began his career in academia

at Texas A&M in 1971. He served as the CEO and dean of Texas A&M Galveston from 1992 to 1996.

SCHMIDLY Before serving as the Tech president from 2000 to 2003, Schmidly served as the dean of the graduate school and vice president of research at Tech between 1996 and 2000, according to the release. From there, he went on to serve as the president of Oklahoma State University and then as the president of University of New Mexico until 2007 and 2012, respectively.

In addition to his esteemed positions at multiple universities, Schmidly has served on a number of higher education boards, such as the Executive Committee of the

International Association of University Presidents, the Board of Directors for the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, and the Executive Committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, according to the release.

Outside of his positions in education, Schmidly is member of the Texas Hall of Fame for Science, Mathematics and Technology. He has authored 11 natural history and conservation books as well as more than 150 scientific articles, according to the release. Additionally, Schmidly received an honorary membership in the American Society of Mammalogists in 2003, which is one of the most prestigious award of the international scientific society.

event, Martinez said.

"This year, we have a better idea of what to expect from Tech to Town," Martinez said. "We've had frequent meetings regarding what we're doing and how we're doing it, so we can be prepared once the day of the event comes."

Students will be shuttled to the volunteer locations starting at 9 a.m. and are expected to finish later in

the afternoon, she said. Almost 300 student volunteers are signed up currently.

"Since (Tech to Town's) conception, we've seen some of the tangible benefits that the volunteers provide," Martinez said. "By reaching out to these local organizations, Tech students can take pride in knowing that they have made a real difference for the Lubbock community."

Erin Harold-Alvarado, the head coach of the Pom Squad, said she felt the motivation from her team after a close loss in last year’s national championship. Last year, the team lost by 0.14 points.

Harold-Alvarado said the Pom Squad had a good chance to make first place, and the team’s motivation and work ethic throughout the season was a testament to that fact.

“They have been sacrificing things all season more than any team that I have ever had,” Harold-Alvarado said.

Alyssa Cisneros, a junior electronic media and communications major from Dallas, said the team was more qualified and ready to compete than any other team she has been a part of.

“This whole entire year, we were way more prepared than I could have imagined,” Cisneros said. “Before we actually performed on Friday, we were circled up, and we were talking about how we were going to give it our all.

It was in that circle that we felt that it was in our hands.

All we had to do was go out there and show that it should be us in the No. 1 spot.”

In the final performance, the team was not worried about dancing for first place or for the judges, HaroldAlvarado said. The team members just wanted to enjoy the last time performing with one another and doing the best that they could.

Harold-Alvarado said she took a different approach when watching the final performance.

“It was so overwhelming because when I watch dance, I don’t watch their faces because I am so consumed with making sure the pictures are clear, and they are together and uniform,” Harold-Alvarado said. “In (the final performance), it was important for me to watch their faces because I knew it was our last time doing it together. When it finished, I didn’t really know what happened. I didn’t know what mistakes there were until I watched the video. All I did was watch their faces and scream my head off for them.”

After the performance, Cisneros said she walked away with an unprecedented confidence about the results.

After both the Cheer and Pom Squad performances, Rhode said she was certain that the teams had done the routines of their lives. But, while she went to Daytona Beach knowing that both squads were the two best teams in the country, she was still worried about the results.

“I have been doing this for 14 years, and I have been through so many times where I think we did a great job, and

we come in second,” Rhode said. “That was the thing going through my mind. I didn’t want to get my hopes up too high and be let down and disappointed.”

But, even before the national championship wins, Rhode said she knew that both teams were special.

Members of both teams put the team first rather than the individuals on the team.

“It was a selfless group of individuals, which you don’t see a lot in different college groups,” Rhode said. “It was immediately obvious to the coaches and to me that this group really was not the group where you saw a lot of cliques or saw a lot of ulterior motives that some college students would have. They came together really quickly as a team and put the team first.”

Even after claiming the national championship, the Co-Ed Cheer team is continuing to improve. Bills said he is already planning the performance for next year.

The national championship win gives a lot more attention for the Spirit Program to potential members, Bills said.

“A lot of athletes out of high school or transfers are looking at us very seriously now because they understand what the program overall gives back to the students in terms of benefits and also give them the opportunity to compete at such a high level,” Bills said. “Every athlete wants to win, so they want to go somewhere where they have the best shot. Having this win associated with Texas Tech, the big school name, that helps draw a lot of attention to us.”

Harold-Alvarado said the team members were having conversations about next year less than an hour after they had found out about the national championship win.

“We won, and we were on the beach, and they were already talking about what they have to do to be on top again next year,” Harold-Alvarado said. “They are so motivated that I think that I am going to have to make them take some time off and rest their bodies. We have potentially 17 veterans returning next year.

So, the expectations of us returning are through the roof.”

Rhode said she wants to see that winning streak continue for both teams, and she wants to see the legacy of excellence continue.

“We want it to be dynastic,” Rhode said. “I think we can do that with our coaches — Bruce and Erin — and the support we have from the university. I think we have the tools to build something really memorable and special: build a dynasty and leave a legacy.”

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1

SGA is preparing to build on the participation from last year's event, which had about 500 volunteers, according to the Office of the President website.

CHAMPIONS CONTINUED FROM PG. 1

While the Cheer team had won the national championship for its all-girl squad in 2000, Bruce Bills, the head cheer and mascot coach, said he was excited and proud of the Cheer team for taking home the championship for the first time with the co-ed squad.

Going into the final performance, Bills said, the performance in the preliminary round was not the team’s best.

There was a stunt fall in addition to some timing issues.

“We really talked about that after the prelims Thursday night to really be clean and to do our job,” Bills said. “That’s what we did in finals. We were very sharp. We were very excited and confident that we would score well. Then, when the other teams had some issues and had some drops, we thought that it was a good chance.”

Going in to the last performance, the team was not as nervous to perform, said Thomas McCarthy, a senior media strategies major from Derry, New Hampshire, and a fourth-year member of the team. The team members were confident in what they were going to perform.

Bills said he saw a difference in the team from day one. The chemistry, as well as the 11 transfer students from junior colleges with successful cheer programs, helped the team succeed in nationals.

“From tryouts in May to working well over the summer, (the team members) had that good work ethic, and they wanted to be better,” Bills said. “They wanted to be cleaner and sharper. It’s been rewarding to have those athletes that really have been pushing themselves and pushing each other. The trust level was better than I have ever seen it in our program.

That helped contribute to the winning team.”

McCarthy, who has been on the Cheer team for four years, ended his time on the team with this national championship.

“It is more sweet than bittersweet,” McCarthy said.

“Being one of the two fourthyear members of the team, ending this way, I couldn’t imagine it being any better.”

Food Truck festival attracts large crowds

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

In the parking lot of Panhandle South Plains Fairgrounds on Avenue A, various food trucks emitted different cooking scents as hungry visitors partook in the Second Saturday Food Truck Festival.

The event began at 11 a.m., and the number of attendees gradually increased as the day went on. By midafternoon, hundreds of people could be seen at the festival.

Cody Delgado, the organizer of the festival and owner of the Joe’s on the Go food truck from Lubbock, said the festival is hosted on the second Saturday of each month from April to October, with this one kicking off the season.

“We usually have over 15 food trucks and about 30 non-food vendors,” Delgado said, “and everything’s free to the public. They just pay for any purchases that they

make here.”

Delgado’s truck specializes in preparing Hawaiian shaved ice and Mexican food.

Other food truck varieties included ones that served barbecue, Rolo’s Roasted Corn that served roasted corn on the cob, and Halo Peno’s selling burgers of different varieties, such as the Poblano Bacon Cheeseburger and The Duke, a burger with brisket and guacamole.

Kyle Stallings, a Lubbock resident, operated a funnel cake booth for the Soldiers of God organization.

Stallings said S.O.G. Funnel Cakes came to the Food Truck Festival after seeing it on Facebook, with its normal operations being on 4th Street and Broadway.

“We use some special secret ingredients,” Stallings said, “to give it that extra flavor, and on top of that, we’re the only ones out here doing funnel cakes.”

In preparing for the food truck festival, Stallings said S.O.G. Funnel Cakes had to order the funnel cake mix needed and make alterations, such as painting the booth.

Some of the non-food vendors at the festival included stalls that sold children’s books, one for MetroPCS and one for Heroez Crafts, which sold wood-burning plaques that displayed images of various superheroes.

Juan Mares, the operator of Heroez Crafts from Tucumari, New Mexico, said his wife found out about the festival that led to them deciding to make a stall for it.

All of the plaques assembled took two years of work, Mares said.

“I try to keep myself as busy as possible,” Mares said.

For those who were beginning to feel the increasing heat of the day, there were also trucks

that sold frozen treats such as Tiki Ice Bar. Brooklyn Duke, an attendee and a Texas Tech alumna from Allen, said the main appeals for food trucks is how fast, cheap and different they are from regular restaurants.

“Families can come and pick whatever they want,” Duke said, “so no one has to agree on the same place. They can all go to a place that they want to go to and enjoy what they want to eat.”

Duke said she has been to other food trucks in Abilene, Dallas and New York.

Food trucks offer something different, Mares said, in that they are more personable and customers can stay on the go.

“You see the owners,” Mares said, “You get to be around them. I think that’s what makes a lot of this special, different. It’s not incorporated.” @KirbyWarner_DT

Dance Company starts annual audition process

By ERIN FRANCKHAUSER Staff Writer

In preparation for the upcoming season, organizations plan in advance who will be a member in the next year.

Texas Tech’s Dance Company began that process for the next season on Saturday with its annual auditions.

The University Dance Company is comprised of students from a variety of majors and classifications performing choreography from the dance program faculty and guest artists, Ali Duffy, an associate professor of dance, said.

The company performs at its Dance Tech Concert in the spring and at campus events throughout the year to entertain and engage people interested in the creative arts, Duffy said.

“If the faculty is thinking about making a lot of balletic work, then when the group comes in to audition, we’ll probably select dancers who are more balletic,” Duffy said, “so that they can represent our work the way we want to this year.”

There was no numerical scoring during the auditions.

Instead, the faculty noted each dancer’s strengths. The team sizes ranged from as small as 12 members to as large as 25 members.

The size of the company depends on the specific work the faculty is going for that year and how the dancers fit that theme or

genre of dance, Duffy said.

Two faculty members taught choreography during this year’s auditions, focusing on contemporary, modern movement and improvisation, Duffy said.

Duffy and other faculty members in the past have included dancers in the company who work as little as two hours a week to as many as 20 hours a week.

This is because, they like to have as many dancers in the company as possible.

“We’re looking to grow the company simply because our faculty is growing,” Duffy said.

In the fall, a new assistant professor of dance and a new head of dance will be coming in to the c o m p a n y, D u f f y s a i d .

These new faculty members will also set choreography for the company.

The auditions were more challenging this year because the faculty had to maintain constant contact with the future faculty members, while simultaneously keeping in mind what type of dancers the new faculty are looking for.

“It is not really an organization that’s geared towards students who have never danced before,” Duffy said. “This is really an elite company of performers who really are versed in what it is to perform near professionally.”

The company does not allow freshmen to audition because the time commitment can be intensive,

Duffy said.

The decision to ann o u n c e t h e c o m p a n y ’s members will take only a few days, but creating the rehearsal schedules will take longer because of the students’ various class schedules and other commitments, Duffy said.

The faculty members, including Duffy, create the choreography from scratch, and it takes the entire fall semester to rehearse. Each week, the dancers add more choreography to what was learned the previous week, she said, and each completed work is approximately 10-20 minutes long.

Lacee Fortune, a junior dance major from Dripping Springs, is the president of the University Dance Company.

Fortune said she acts a certain way during her audition.

“I like to kind of be quiet and acknowledge everyone else who is in the room, but also just focus on myself and breathe,” Fortune said. “I need my mind to be straight or else I’ll be in ‘la la land’ the whole audition.”

Fortune said the best way for her to do this is to arrive at least 20 minutes early to the audition to fill out any paperwork and have the extended time to warm up and roll out before the faculty starts teaching the combo.

“Now I’m really used to the choreographers and faculty that it’s more

of a challenge for myself to push the movement,” Fortune said.

This is Fortune’s third time auditioning for the company. The first year, Fortune felt nervous and overwhelmed because it was her first time working with some of the faculty and choreographers, and the styles felt foreign to her. Now, Fortune said she has adjusted to the climate, and the choreography feels more natural.

Tiara Scarlett, a junior dance major from Abilene, auditioned for the company for the first time.

“Any chance I have to dance or to better build up my resume or my career later on, helps,” Scarlett said.

Scarlett said she did not start dancing until she was 16. Any opportunity to gain more experience makes her feel as though she is catching up ambitiously while also taking initiative toward her future.

Scarlett said her aim is to choreograph a variety of styles in her own company.

However, teaching and performing is a great resume builder, Scarlett said. Her heart lies with c h o r e o g r a p h y, b u t s h e recognizes that all aspects of dance are needed to be well-rounded and skilled.

Before auditions, Scarlett said she does not think technically but rather feels the proper emotions through chorography and her body. Good dancers see

Music legend Chuck Berry remembered in rock 'n' roll style ST. LOUIS (AP) — Family, friends and fans paid their final respects to the rock 'n' roll legend Chuck Berry on Sunday, celebrating the life and career of a man who inspired countless guitarists and bands.

The celebration began with a public viewing at The Pageant, a music club in Berry's hometown of St. Louis where he often played.

Hundreds of fans filed past

Berry, whose beloved cherryred Gibson guitar was bolted to the inside of his coffin's lid.

"I am here because Chuck Berry meant a lot to anybody who grew up on rock n' roll," said Wendy Mason, who drove in from Kansas City, Kansas, for the visitation. "The music will live on forever."

Another fan, Nick Hair, brought his guitar with him from Nashville, Tennessee, so

he could play Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" while waiting in line outside.

After the public viewing, family and friends packed the club for a private funeral service and celebration of Berry, who inspired generations of musicians, from humble garage bands up to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. The service was expected to include live music, and the Rev. Alex I. Peterson

told the gathering they would be celebrating Berry's life in rock 'n roll style.

Former President Bill Clinton sent a letter that was read at the funeral by U.S. Rep. Lacy Clay because Berry played at both of Clinton's presidential inaugurations. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Clinton called Berry "one of America's greatest rock and roll pioneers."

what they can offer by adding their own interpretations to the choreography.

“I close my eyes, and I go to the space, the place I need to be emotionally to perform the piece,” Scarlett said.

Scarlett said she encouraged fellow dancers to audition for the company. Before coming to Tech, Scarlett auditioned at other schools, which she did not plan on attending, in order to gain more professional experience for auditions that mattered more to her.

The more audition pro-

cesses dancers go through, the less afraid they become and the better their dancing gets under pressure, Scarlett said.

“I decided to audition very late for Tech thinking I wouldn’t get in, and then, I got the call telling me I got in, and I was completely surprised,” Scarlett said, “I took that step scared out of my mind. It paid off, and I got here. So, I think that is important for everyone, whether or not they think they are going to get in.” @DailyToreador

First, let me say: Treatment centers do good work for the world and help millions of people every year. So, by no means am I setting out to roast rehab, recovery and the “TwelveStep” system.

I do, however, think that sending your 17- or 18-year-old child off to receive drug-rehabilitation treatment can be a very risky venture.

Imagine this: A 1 7 - y e a r- o l d g o e s a b i t wild — maybe gets a DUI — or is caught with drugs a couple of times. That child is then sent off to rehab and forced to exhibit subsequent “sober living.”

During this time — the most impressionable years

of a child’s life — that child will be surrounded by people recovering from abusing heroin, cocaine and other hard drugs.

Furthermore, these people will talk about their experiences — both positive and negative — with these drugs for hours every day. These shivering youngsters will become each other’s closest friends, whom they will confide in and learn from.

Now, if everyone from rehabilitation and soberliving facilities did, in fact, remain sober, then this acquaintanceship would not be so problematic. However, success

rates are shockingly low when it comes to drug and alcohol treatment.

The National Institutes of Health lists a 40-60 percent relapse rate for individuals who have received treatment. In other words, the majority of their new friends will not remain a source of encouragement and support.

Instead, those friends will further confirm the inevitability of slipping back into substance abuse, thus expediting the process for stragglers.

Those who do not make it, really do often drag their friends down with them. It is not uncommon for one person at a sober-living facility to “go back out” and, in the process, take multiple friends with him.

Hopefully, your young child will have good-enough judgment to choose the

COLUMN

right friends after entering a new sober community.

But, if the reason they were sent there in the first place was running with the wrong crowd, how much do you really trust them to make that judgment call?

And when it comes to choosing romantic counterparts, problems could not be less avoidable. When young addicts fall in love, the result is often disastrous.

Also, in the world of recovery from drugs and alcohol, the rules of what make you cool are much different than they are in the real world.

The way it typically works is that the more out-of-control you were during your drug days, the more credible you are in the halls of the facility.

As a young child who hasn’t done much in terms of hard drugs, your stand-

ing among these counterparts is jeopardized.

This is not always the case, but there are times when these kids will go out and try much harder drugs than they would ever have imagined using to prove to their peers that they are a “real-deal” drug addict.

Now, if everyone from rehabilitation and sober-living facilities did, in fact, remain sober, then this acquaintanceship would not be so problematic.

I have seen young adults who went into treatment for minor abus-

es and ended up trying wildly dangerous, intravenous drugs the second they were out.

Perhaps, not all of these cases involved insecure kids trying to prove something to their new friends.

Many of them could be bad instances of peer pressure from the new friends they made in rehab.

At the end of the day, it is still a judgment call. I am sure there are 17- and 18-year-old children who need drug rehabilitation.

My only advice for those parents considering this option is not to apply the rationale of, “Well, it can’t hurt, so we might as well try.”

It can hurt. In fact, it can hurt far more than it helps.

Sending a child to rehab is not a harmless venture. opinions@dailytoreador.com

ASSOCIATED PRESS

First Amendment rights Democratic congressman will protect citizens from president run to be Colorado governor

T

witter has been relevant in the news since President Donald Trump took office.

Trump’s unsolicited and ignorant comments on the social media platform have caused a flurry of news stories.

From badmouthing a federal judge to causing Tw i t t e r w a r s b e t w e e n celebrities, Trump has made the news with his Twitter use once again.

Trump’s unbridled attacks via Twitter have now expanded to an attack on the First Amendment.

The White House issued a summon for the personal information of users on Twitter who have been posting unfavorably about the new administration.

Tw i t t e r f i l e d s u i t against the White House citing the First Amendment as its defense. Freedom of speech extends to social media, according to the New York Times.

There are several tests that must be met to void that protection. There has to be evidence that a crime has taken place.

The government can’t request the information for the purpose of suppressing free speech, and whatever they’re investi-

Allison Cleary is a communication studies graduate student from San Diego.

gating has to be more important than the sanctity of the First Amendment.

The Trump administration promptly withdrew the summon once Twitter stood up for itself and for its members by filing the lawsuit.

It seems to be the current trend of this administration to just withdraw when someone calls it on its bunkum.

Trump’s unbridled attacks via Twitter have now expanded to an attack on the First Amendment.

There is never humility or an apology when it comes to our president.

The problem here is that this administration continuously disregards the Constitution. Much like a dictator, Trump seems to feel the rules don’t apply to him.

And the biggest problem of all is that the rules,

obviously, haven’t applied to him for a long time.

For his whole life, perh a p s Tr u m p g o t a w a y with sexist, racist and ignorant behavior without any repercussions.

However, the American people aren’t on his payroll. He doesn’t hold any power over us. The Constitution is protecting us from our president.

For the White House to be summoning the personal information of a protected person shows there is no respect or regard for the law within the lawmaking body the White House holds.

There is really no acceptable excuse or explanation for them to even be requesting the information.

I wonder if they just didn’t know the law of our land or if they knew and just chose to ignore it.

Either way, it shows a lack of respect for the Constitution and the freedom to which we, in the United States, are entitled.

No matter the reason, individuals and organizations are standing up to our government to make sure the United States of America stays free. opinions@dailytoreador.com

DENVER (AP) — Sixterm Democratic U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter is entering Colorado’s race for governor in 2018, saying he can do more for Colorado at home than he can in Washington.

Perlmutter formally announced his candidacy at a rally Sunday in Golden, Colorado, and quickly established himself as the front-runner in the Democratic primary. Colorado’s Democratic governor, John Hickenlooper, is stepping down because of term limits.

Perlmutter, whose competitive Jefferson County district is home to private aerospace firms and federal research laboratories, said it’s getting tougher to get things done in the nation’s capital.

“The Trump administration, coupled with the gridlock that exists in Congress, really is causing things to go backward,” Perlmutter said in an interview. “I feel I can provide more service and leadership at home than I can in Washington.”

“The Republican Party can’t agree with itself right now. When the majority party is kind of in a chaotic state, nothing moves,” he said.

Perlmutter cited Trump

administration rollbacks of environmental rules and protections as well as possible cutbacks in climate change and renewable energy research at the federal labs in his district. “I think that there is a check and balance that the state of Colorado and other states can provide in contrast to this administration,” he said.

Perlmutter, 63, said his priorities as governor would include public education, affordable housing, modernizing state highways and expanding the economic growth of metropolitan areas straddling the Interstate 25 corridor to other parts of the state.

His candidacy creates the possibility that a Republican could capture Colorado’s 7th Congressional District, though two Democratic state lawmakers already have indicated they will run.

Republicans have a 4-3 edge in Colorado’s congressional delegation. Democrat Michael Bennet and Republican Cory Gardner hold its Senate seats.

Colorado’s Democratic gubernatorial primary opened up after former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said he wasn’t running. In the mix are former state Sen. Mike Johnston and Denver entrepreneur Noel Ginsburg.

An attorney and former state senator, Perlmutter was first elected to Congress in 2006. His district, which incorporates Denver’s western and northern suburbs, was once solidly Republican but is now considered a bellwether on how Colorado votes — a place where independent voters outnumber both Democrats and Republicans.

Tech ends losing streak, defeats Kansas, 9-3

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

The Texas Tech softball team defeated Kansas in the series finale, 9-3, on Sunday at Rocky Johnson Field.

However, Kansas won the series because of its victories on Friday and Saturday.

Senior infielder Brittany Warnecke hit her third home run of the season in the bottom of the third, according to Tech Athletics. Senior catcher/infielder Susan Welborn hit her seventh home run of the season in the bottom of the fifth inning. The third home run for the Red Raiders during Sunday’s game was scored by sophomore infielder Kiana Workman in the bottom of the second.

“I thought we did a very mature thing,” coach Adrian Gregory said. “We came out hungry again today. It could’ve gone the other way, and I thought we did a really good job of coming

out here with motivation and a will and to compete for our brand and to compete for who we are.”

Welborn and senior outfielder Kierra Miles each scored two runs in the game. Welborn registered three hits and two RBIs, according to Tech Athletics.

Warnecke also had two RBIs in addition to one hit. Miles had two stolen bases, giving her 18 on the season.

Overall, Tech had nine runs in 10 hits with eight RBIs and three stolen bases.

Freshman right-handed pitcher Kassidy Scott picked up the win, making her 9-12 on the season.

“It’s kind of just competition between me and the catcher,” Miles said. “I just want to win, and I’m going to do whatever it takes to get there.”

Kansas started the game by scoring a run off a single to get the 1-0 lead in the top of the first. Tech answered back in the bottom of the inning when Miles

scored a run off a single from Welborn to tie up the game, 1-1.

Then, Tech extended its lead in the bottom of the first when senior infielder/outfielder Devon Thomey and freshman outfielder Raina O’Neal both scored off a single from sophomore outfielder Kiani Ramsey, making the score 3-1, according to Tech Athletics.

Miles said this game was important with the team hosting Texas later this week.

“I think it’s huge,” Miles said.

“We had a choice today to go out and play, and we did, and it’s really exciting to see where it’s going to take us next weekend.”

Workman hit her fourth home run of the season to give Tech a 4-1 lead. In the bottom of the third, sophomore infielder Jessica Hartwell scored a run off an O’Neal flyout, extending Tech’s lead to 5-1. Warnecke then hit her third home run of the season, giving Tech a 7-1 lead after three innings.

In the top of the fifth, when

Maisel entered to pitch, Kansas scored two runs to make it a 7-3 game, with Tech still leading.

“We were really aggressive,” Welborn said. “We knew what we wanted, and we wanted to win.”

Welborn hit her seventh home run of the season to give Tech an 8-3 lead in the bottom of the fifth. Miles then scored another run in the bottom of the sixth, according to Tech Athletics.

Tech was able to stop Kansas in the top of the seventh to give Red Raiders the win.

“Honestly, it just feels great,” Welborn said. “Every home run, it’s just exhilarating, because you don’t have to run the bases as hard, and it just comes off the bat perfectly. It’s what softball is: beautiful.”

Next, Tech faces the Texas Longhorns for a three-game conference matchup. The series will start at 6 p.m. on Thursday and then continue at 4 p.m. on Friday and noon on Saturday at

Defense wins spring series after defeating offense

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

The Texas Tech defense won the spring series after it defeated the offense, 60-33, in the final matchup on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.

The defense had 46 total tackles, six sacks, four interceptions and two forced fumbles, according to Tech Athletics.

Junior defensive back Jah’Shawn Johnson had three total tackles in the game, and senior defensive lineman Talor Nunez had three total tackles, two sacks, three tackles for loss and one interception.

“I think just energy and enthusiasm, that’s what our focus is,” coach Kliff Kingsbury said.

“Those guys now, Jah’Shawn Johnson, Brooks have been with that defense for years. They know what they are doing, the game is slowing down for them.”

Junior defensive back Octavious Morgan, sophomore

linebacker Christian Taylor and freshman defensive back Tyree Key each had one interception on the day, according to Tech Athletics. Sophomore linebacker Jamile Johnson also had one fumble recovery.

On the offensive side of the ball, senior quarterback Nic Shimonek threw 11-20 for 175 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Freshman quarterback Xavier Martin led the team with two passing touchdowns.

He also threw for 88 yards and one interception. Junior wide receiver Keke Coutee had four receptions for 105 receiving yards and one touchdown. “(The fans saw) signs of improvement,” Jah’Shawn Johnson said. “Flying around, a very energized defense, a lot of people running around and things like that. I know we haven’t been as good in the past, but we can only do what we can, and try and get better for this fall.”

RYAN ORTEGON/The Daily Toreador

A member of the Texas Tech football team gets tackled by members of the defense while running the ball during the spring scrimmage on Saturday night at Jones AT&T Stadium. The defense won the scrimmage, 60-33.

The offense scored first in the game when Shimonek threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Cantrell, according to Tech Athletics. The defense responded by stopping the offense with a 3-and-out series,

making the score 7-3.

Morgan intercepted Shimonek to give the defense six points and the lead, 9-7. After a series of plays where each play was worth a point, the defense led the offense, 17-7.

Bears end No. 6 Red Raiders’ winning streak

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Sports Editor

Behind Baylor senior infielder/catcher Aaron Dodson’s three home runs, the Baylor Bears defeated the No. 6 Texas Tech Red Raiders, 10-9, on Sunday.

Tech now has an overall record of 28-7 and a home record of 15-2 on the season, according to Tech Athletics.

The Red Raiders finished the series 2-1 against the Bears.

Sophomore right-handed pitcher Ryan Shetter started out the game for the Red Raiders and threw for four innings. He allowed six hits and two runs after throwing 77 pitches. He also struck out one batter.

Dodson registered at the plate on Sunday with three hits at five at-bats for the Bears. Along with his three home runs during the game, he also registered six RBIs at the plate.

“The guy had three home runs and swung the bat really good,” Tech coach Tim Tadlock said. “The last one was a fastball he really hit.”

Junior infielder Orlando Garcia had a strong showing for Tech with two home

runs during the game. In total, Garcia registered four home runs during the series against the Bears.

In the top of the first with a runner on second, senior catcher Matt Menard hit the ball into the glove of junior infielder Michael Davis who made the double play by tagging second base and forcing the two outs. Baylor could not capitalize at the plate as Tech switched to offense.

The Red Raiders came out swinging and grabbed the early lead in the bottom of the first, 4-0.

With a runner on first, Davis stepped up, but he was hit in the gut with a fastball to put runners in scoring position. Hargrove brought Davis and freshman infielder/right hander Josh Jung home off a home run to give Tech the three-run lead. The inning was not finished as junior outfielder Connor Beck hit a double to center field and was sent home by junior designated hitter Tanner Gardner off an RBI single.

Baylor responded early in the top of the second with Dodson hitting a solo home run to put the Bears on the board, 4-1. That would prove

to be the only run of the inning as Tech grabbed the three outs. However, Tech could not retaliate, as the Red Raiders failed to score in the bottom of the second.

Davis was hit again in the bottom of the third, this time in the shoulder, which brought Hargrove to bat as he hit a single to center field.

Garcia hit his third home run of the series to bring three runners in and extend Tech’s lead to 7-1.

Dodson had a strong showing for Baylor, as he hit his second home run of the game in the fourth inning to trim the deficit, 7-2. After the Baylor home run, the Red Raider defense forced the three outs but could not produce on offense as the game entered the fifth inning.

Junior left-handed pitcher Parker Mushinski entered the game to replace Shetter on the mound in the top of the fifth.

Garcia put on an offensive

display as he squared one away for his second home run of the game and fourth of the series to extend the Red Raider lead to 8-4. The lead increased again, 9-4, as senior outfielder Anthony Lyons ripped one to left field and slid into third base for an RBI triple.

“I mean, all you can really do is put the barrel on the ball,” Garcia said. “That’s the main goal. Sometimes, weekends it happens better than others.”

Neither team could register a run during the sixth through eighth innings.

Jung traded his bat in for a glove as he took over the mound for Tech and walked four batters while on the mound. Baylor tied the game up, 9-9, as Jung allowed three hits and two runs in the top of the ninth.

Texas Tech junior infielder Michael Davis throws the ball to first base for a double play. The Red Raiders lost to Baylor, 10-9, on Sunday at Dan Law Field but won the series, 2-1.

With runners in scoring position, Dodson hit a threerun home run to close in on Tech and force the Red Raiders to replace Jung with junior right hander Jose Quezada.

Garcia said Jung will recover from his less-than-successful debut on the mound for the Red Raiders.

“He’s strong mentally,” Garcia said. “He’s really mature about his business, and he knew once he got out there that he had to take care of his defensive part. He’s a strong kid, and I don’t think anything will really change on his part.”

A sacrifice RBI from sophomore infielder/outfielder T.J.

Raguse gave Baylor the lead, 10-9. As Tech attempted to rally back, it fell short with runners on base as Farhat hit a flyout to right field to end the game.

Tadlock said the decisions he made on the mound were a factor in what led to the loss.

However, the loss allows the team to focus on what not to do in the future, he said.

“The positives, again, is all the information you gain,” Tadlock said. “Obviously, you don’t feel good about today, but at the same time, you had a lot of moments that meant a lot. Some guys performed in those moments, and some guys didn’t.” @ABoutwellDT

Red Sox score 4 in 8th inning, beat Tigers 7-5 DETROIT (AP) — Even if the Boston Red Sox hadn’t been short-handed, this would have been a gratifying win.

Sandy Leon broke an eighth-inning tie with a tworun single, part of a four-run rally that lifted Boston to a 7-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.

The Red Sox, depleted recently by injury and illness, rallied four times from onerun deficits.

“The one thing that hasn’t emerged was anyone talking about any excuses,” manager John Farrell said. “We know what’s in front of us. We know how people feel. A number of guys aren’t 100 percent, but a lot of fight in this group.”

Jackie Bradley Jr. missed the game for Boston after hurting his right knee Saturday, but the Red Sox got Mookie Betts back after he’d been out sick. Hanley Ramirez was still out with an illness.

Xander Bogaerts hasn’t played since Wednesday — he’s been on the bereavement list.

The Tigers led 4-3 in the eighth when Bruce Rondon (0-1) allowed a leadoff walk to Betts and a single by Chris Young. A throwing error on Young’s single by left fielder Justin Upton left runners at second and third. After an intentional walk, Kyle Ryan came in and walked pinchhitter Brock Holt to force in the tying run.

Leon followed with a line drive to center , and Boston led 6-4.

“We’ve just got to find someone that can pitch the seventh and eighth inning,” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. “Justin Wilson was unavailable tonight — he’d be a guy you could pitch in the eighth inning, but he’d pitched two days in a row, and we didn’t want to use him.”
