Tech player earns conference award On Tuesday, the Big 12 Conference named Texas Tech freshman Alex Sendegeya men’s tennis player of the week, according to a news release from Tech Athletics.

Sendegeya is the first Red Raider to win the award since Gonzalo Escobar in 2012, according to the release, and is the second Tech freshman to ever win the award.

A native of Liverpool, England, and the former No. 1 junior in Great Britain, according to the release, Sendegeya was able to record two wins against ranked opponents this past week.

Sendegeya has faced four straight ranked opponents since the Red Raiders began Big 12 play, according to the release, going 2-1 in that time with one abandoned match.

The last time a freshman won as many matches as Sendegeya was in 2010 when Raphael Pfister won 23 matches.

Tech will face another top-10 team this weekend in the final regular season match of the season as it takes on No. 2 Baylor Saturday night at the McLeod Tennis Center. ➤➤@TheDT_sports

Democrats stall bills on technicality AUSTIN (AP) — A technicality House Democrats raised Tuesday succeeded in stalling — at least for a few days — two of the Texas Legislature’s top conservative causes, proposals that would allow the “open carry” of handguns and prohibit local ordinances banning hydraulic fracturing.

With Republicans controlling the Legislature and widely supporting both measures, outnumbered Democrats often resort to delay tactics, betting that the longer it takes to pass bills they oppose, the less total such proposals become law.

Legislators had braced for hourslong debate on both issues. But just a few minutes into discussion on the bill authorizing licensed Texans to carry their handguns holstered or otherwise in plain sight, Democratic Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer objected, citing House rules. He argued that three witnesses who testified on the bills while they were still in committee were incorrectly recorded in the official record.

Republicans convened immediate committee meetings to advance corrected versions of the bills. Both now will be eligible to return to the floor on Friday, though the exact timing hasn’t yet been set.

Repeal of act could have negative effects

By KAITLIN BAIN Senior reporter

The DREAM Act, which was an act passed in 2001 and grants in-state tuition rates to certain students who are not legally in the U.S. to continue onto higher education, may be helping its last few students.

The Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Instillations Subcommittee on Border Security have been working on Senate Bill 1819, which would repeal the law, according to the bill.

In addition to the committees’ decisions, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick used the possible

young adults, essentially American or a U.S. citizen without the papers, should be eligible to be treated as residents with in-state tuition.”

The act, according to the law text, allows students who are not in the U.S. legally but came to the U.S. before they were 16 and have done well in school to be eligible for in-state tuition for Texas state schools.

Arce said she is not only one of the students the DREAM Act has helped, but she is one of the first students who was granted in-state tuition.

“It was really difficult when my friends were discussing where they were going to go to school and they were asking me and it just didn’t make sense why I didn’t know already where I was going to go to school given my academic record,” she said. “It was also hard to feel like all this effort that I made and all this hard work that I put into my school was for nothing.”

Tuesday evening, J&B Coffee Company hosted the traditional Philosophy Café by Alex Grzankowski, a professor of philosophy at Texas Tech, discussing his topic, “Does Subjective Experience Teach Us Things That Science Can’t?”

Philosophy Café is an ongoing tradition in the philosophy department, hosted every other Tuesday evening.

“We decided on it years ago,” Mark Webb, professor and chairman of the philosophy department, said. “We thought

it would be nice to have a less formal way to talk about philosophy. Everyone is invited and it is open to the public, it’s a big outreach thing. We’ve gotten a good response from it.”

Philosophy Cafés are led by faculty members of the philosophy department and graduate students, and are usually hosted at J&B Coffee on 26th Street.

“I like to see graduate students take a crack at it, it’s fun for them, it’s relaxing, and they’re able to talk about what they believe is important,” Webb said.

The Texas Intercollegiate Press Association gives out various awards to collegiate publications in Texas, and it recently released the lists of winners for 2014.

The Daily Toreador received a total of 14 awards in a variety of categories, and La Ventana yearbook received a total of 21.

Kymbre Kupatt, a senior agricultural communications major from Sagerten and editor-in-chief of La Ventana, said as an editor, she helped with all the designs for the yearbook last year.

“I’m just proud of myself and proud of my staff,” she said. “I think it’s great because people don’t think about yearbooks anymore. It’s great that people know that Texas Tech does have a yearbook and that ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

it’s a great yearbook.”

The awards for yearbooks were from a variety of areas including photo, design and stories in different sections, and Kupatt placed first in the Title Page category.

Amy Cunningham, a sophomore public relations major from Houston and the news editor for The DT, won first place in the Academics Copy category for an article she had originally written for the newspaper.

“In the yearbook they called it ‘Sink or Float,’ and it was about some civil engineering students who made a concrete canoe for a competition,” she said. “That was something I did last spring when I was a news staff writer. It was kind of surprising that I won something for that.”

Universities implement consent policies Staff Writer

The pervasive sexual assault problem has caused colleges and universities across the nation to revise their policies related to investigation and adjudication of sexual assault allegations.

Colleges and universities are changing from a ‘No Means No’ approach to a ‘Yes Means Yes’ affirmative consent standard, Wendy Adele Humphrey, associate professor of the Texas Tech School of Law and director of the pre-law academy, said.

These changes were partially based on 2011 recommendations from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights and guidelines issued by the Obama administration in 2014, she said.

In response to these actions, Humphrey said, in September 2014, California became the first state to mandate institutions of higher education to adopt an affirmative consent standard.

Several states are now following California’s lead, according to affirmativeconsent.com.

Last year, a consistent definition of consent was outlined at Tech, Amy Murphy, dean of students and managing director of the center for campus life, said.

“It is basically a paradigm shift in the way sexual assault is addressed,” Humphrey said, “and over 800 colleges have already

adopted an affirmative consent policy, including Texas Tech.”

The main difference between a “No Means No” MURPHY and a “Yes Means Yes” standard is the shift in the burden during a campus disciplinary proceeding for sexual misconduct, Humphrey said.

Instead of focusing on the alleged victim by asking what he or she did to express no, the line of questioning now focuses on the alleged perpetrator by asking how he or she knew the other person consented, she said.

“While a lot of people feel that colleges and universities should not be adjudicating sexual misconduct,” Humphrey said, “under current federal law, they are required to.”

Humphrey is writing a law review article dealing with legislation and education about the affirmative consent policy, she said.

Humphrey’s article looks at the current status of the “Yes Means Yes” affirmative consent standard, she said, that colleges and universities around the nation are adopting.

“The state rape law, in most states, is basically set up for stranger rape,” Humphrey said. “The ‘Yes Means Yes’ affirmative consent policy deals with acquaintance rape.”

Laws regarding rape follow the

“No Means No” standard in most ing awareness and will further the states, she said, and there needs cause of sexual assault prevention, to be some form of force or threat. she said.

• All partners must consent to sexual activities • Has been implemented in some California campuses to prevent sexual assault • Policy intends to make sexual consent clear between all partners involved are grappling with, according to the article.

“Conversations can be tricky,” Murphy said, “and students don’t necessarily want to talk in the midst of an activity and have what can be an uncomfortable conversation with a partner.”

Student-led efforts like the Define Your Line campaign at Tech have done a tremendous job in that area, she said, because they focus on the fact students are too afraid or nervous to ask for consent.

Rebecca R. Ortiz, adviser of the campaign and an assistant professor of advertising at Tech, said the campaign was organized so students would be communicating with their peers.

“Some feel that to legislate an affirmative consent standard is too intrusive into their lives,” Humphrey said, “and that it will detract the spontaneity of sexual encounters.”

However, that is not the intent of the consent policy, she said, and there are many people in support of the consent policy.

“There are many campaigns

across the nation supporting consent, such as ‘Consent is Sexy,’” Humphrey said. “Other campaigns focus on the importance of bystander intervention, such as the White House’s ‘It’s on Us’ campaign.”

Humphrey said education about sexual assault and the affirmative consent policy should begin at the high school level.

Research shows people engage in sexual activity and sexual violence before college age, she said, and it is rather easy, considering the current high school curriculum in most states, to add instruction on affirmative consent.

Today’s youth need to be educated about what kind of sexual behavior is acceptable and what is not, Humphrey said. It should be discussed before students attend college orientation.

“Admittedly, affirmative consent education during high school will not be sufficient alone to halt sexual assault on college campuses, but it is a step in the right direction,” she said.

discriminate. So we’re doing a disservice to taxpayers by denying them access to higher education, which they support.”

While many families are paying into the tax pool, those who are in the U.S. both legally and not, according to the Center for Immigration Studies website, state schools are not given additional financial support to offset the costs of the DREAM Act. Increased tax revenue from those with a college education, according to the website, while helping in the longterm, would not help the strain on public universities both monetarily and with the physical space required to house students.

Additionally, according to the website, the DREAM Act requires two years of college, and a degree is not necessary.

According to the National Information Center for Higher Education Policymaking and Analysis website, there is about a $21,000 per year increase between a high school diploma and a bachelor’s degree.

The U.S. provides an education to students who are legally and not legally in the country through elementary school, middle school and high school, Arce said, so she believes higher education should not be any different.

“The dreamers that have been here since they were little kids, this is the only country they know,” she said. “This is the only country I knew, so they’re not going to leave. So I think it’s to our benefit to educate them and continue to provide opportunities to have higher education.”

Arce said she supports the DREAM Act and hopes it is not repealed, because these are students’ dreams and their means to reach those goals can be taken away by not granting these students instate tuition.

“They are real human beings who have dreams and have aspirations,” she said, “and have worked really hard just to be able to go to college and to be eligible to go to a school like Texas Tech or UT.”

In June after the DREAM Act passed, Arce still was not sure if she would be able to attend college because she graduated before it was passed, she said.

As a result, she contacted the office of primary bill author and former Rep. Rick Noriega and spoke with his secretary, who helped Arce call the University of Texas and ask if she would still be accepted even though the deadline had passed.

“I still have my acceptance letter from UT now and it’s dated July 2001, which is like a month before classes start,” Arce said. “This completely changed my life because I felt like I almost had like a new lifeline. There was an opportunity for me to keep going and see the fruits of my labor.”

While the DREAM Act has and will help an estimated 1.03 million immigrants who are not legally in the U.S., according to the Center for Immigration Studies website, the students who are able to attend school and then go into the workforce also help the economy.

Levario said it helps universities, like Tech, who are trying to increase enrollment numbers as well as increases the diversity of the schools these students are attending.

“Most universities,” he said, “if not all universities, have some kind of objective or goal to enhance student diversity within their university population.”

Even outside the academic community, he said, the increased number of people who have formally engaged in higher education increases the education of the community and with both those who are legally in the U.S. and those who are not, could decrease the number of people on welfare and government aid programs.

Kappa Delta spreads child abuse awareness

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and the Kappa Delta sorority is spreading the knowledge of one of its biggest philanthropies. By hosting events and raising money, the sorority hopes to put an end to child abuse.

“Typically what we normally do is pinwheel our yard,” Julie Williams, a sophomore animal science major from Idalou, said. “We also give our check that we raised from our big event called Shamrock.”

Shamrock, an event the sorority hosts in March, is where most of the money raised through the year comes from, Williams said. Eighty percent of the money raised overall goes to the Children’s Advocacy Center in Lubbock, and the remaining 20 percent goes nationally to Prevent Child Abuse America.

“Typically during this month is when we give the check,” Williams said, “and we’ve actually raised $25,200.”

Through the Shamrock event called the See-Saw-Athon, the sorority raises awareness of child abuse around the area.

“It’s a way to show people what we do and draw attention to ourselves,” Courtney Vaughn, a freshman agricultural communications major from Helotes, said.

Before hosting the See-SawAthon, the sorority finds sponsors throughout the area willing to help raise money for them, Miller said. With local sponsors such as Fuddruckers and Slate Group, the sorority has a large amount of backing for its cause.

“By how much money they get, they’ll get put on our T-shirts or on our banners,” she said. “We wear those T-shirts all year round and put up the banner at our Shamrock event.”

Aside from the See-Saw-Athon, the group has a fall Shamrock has not released what the event will be.

“It’s just going to be a big event that we’ll put on,” Williams said, “and any money that comes from there will be our philanthropy, which is PCAA and The Children’s Advocacy Center.”

Aside from the money and events hosted, the sorority sisters also feel drawn into the group by their philanthropy, Vaughn said.

“For me it did play a big role,” Vaughn said. “In my family, my little cousins were actually victims of child abuse.”

Growing up with the sorority has also played a factor in some members’ decision to join the sorority and join the cause, Michelle Harris, a sophomore human development and family studies major, said. Two of her older cousins were also Kappa Delta members.

“Whenever I came through rush and saw it, it made a bigger impact,” Harris said. “Now I realize everything that they do helps support our philanthropies and our community as well.”

With a special place in her heart for those that are abused, Vaughn said she loves the fact she can give back to the community in such a special way. Keeping up with where the money goes, Kappa Delta sees the results it yields after the money is delivered.

“Our contact that we have at the (Children’s Advocacy Center) gives me updates on what’s going on here and there,” Miller said. “She tells us where our money goes toward.

Sometimes it’ll pay for their bills, sometimes it’ll pay for their supplies or employing the people that work there.”

The event usually features several different topics ranging from philosophy, politics, science and religion.

“I’ve done a Philosophy Café before, my most recent one was on gender bias,” Howard Curzer, professor in the philosophy department, said. “They began around 15 years ago, originating from students taking initiative to have a time to get together and discuss philosophy in a non-formal way. We saw that they were competent and they worked up the nerve to present to the faculty, and it’s been a tradition ever since.”

Philosophy Café began as a request and became a social event, Curzer said. The events were inspired by philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and his usual visits to cafés

Having La Ventana receive awards not only benefits the staff members, Kupatt said, but it also helps attract new students to the College of Media and Communication and to student media.

La Ventana also placed third for Overall Excellence behind the yearbooks from the Southern Methodist University and Baylor University.

“I was very excited,” Kupatt said.

“That was my first yearbook to do, and it was a tough year. It really just proved that hard work does pay off, and I’m proud of everyone who had a hand in it.”

The DT won awards in various categories including photo, sports, news and opinion columns.The specific photos and articles were considered for awards because they were submitted at the end of December, and judges from the TIPA decided on the winners.

“The advisers were the ones who submitted everything,” Cunningham said. “We didn’t actually know we were

being entered for anything. A few of us were lucky and got one.”

Kassidy Ketron, a Tech alumna and former editor-in-chief of The DT, placed second in the In-Depth Reporting category for her article on marijuana, and Chantal Espinoza, a Tech alumna and the former managing editor of The DT, placed first in the Single Subject Presentation Design category.

Everett Corder, a junior journalism major from Amarillo and sports editor for The DT, placed second in the Sports Column category and third in the yearbook Sports Copy category.

“I didn’t really know what I had been entered for, so I didn’t really know what to expect,” he said. “My column was about how bad I think the Tech football uniforms are, which I thought it was kind of ironic that the award I had won was something trashing Tech. I still stand by the opinion.”

Emily de Santos, the photo editor for The DT, won third place and another honorable mention for Sports Action Photo, and Ben Fox, a Tech alumnus and former multimedia editor

for The DT, placed third in the Photo Illustration Category.

Duncan Stanley, a senior electronic media and communications major from Texarkana, won an Individual Excellence Award for 4-Year Photojournalist of the Year.

“It was surprising more than anything else because I had completely forgotten that they had entered me in that,” he said.

“Awards are one of the things that help people stand out to future employers.”

The DT received an honorable mention for Overall Excellence, and it was one of seven Texas collegiate newspapers recognized in the category.

Carson Wilson, a senior public relations from Albany and editor-in-chief of The DT, said she was proud of the hard work the staff had put into the paper.

“There are a lot of good papers in Texas, so it’s nice to be ranked up there with them,” she said. “It’s not just a bunch of newspapers, it’s a bunch of good newspapers. It’s not about awards, but it’s nice when someone else recognizes your work.” ➤➤@JenRomeroDT

rority can only raise money for its philanthropy, Miller said. But with more than 250 women involved, the sorority always manages to come up with more than enough money for the center.

“Lubbock also has one of the highest percentage of child abuse in Texas,” Vaughn said, “so everyone who comes by knows, and say I will support that, because everyone is against it.”

Because of the high child abuse rate, spreading the knowledge to the community is one of the more important issues people around Lubbock need to be aware of, Williams said.

“Being from Lubbock, I didn’t even know that Lubbock had one of the highest child abuse rates,” she said. “It’s a scary thought that little ole’ Lubbock has one of the highest rates. Especially compared to Houston and Dallas, we’re up there ranked with them.” to philosophize.

“It meets a need that the undergraduate students identified with.

They thought, ‘we don’t have a way to bond together as fellow philosophers,’ and this event formed a community in the department. We can talk about whatever we want. They involve all sorts of things depending on the interest of the graduate student. Lately they have been focused on philosophy of the mind,” he said, “but they’ve also involved contemporary political issues and have featured several guest speakers.”

The topics discussed at the cafés usually depend on the host and there is no formal itinerary. Usually the speaker begins by establishing the groundwork for a topic and opens up for discussion, Curzer said.

“I’ve been to about 15 of the Philosophy Cafés, including the philosophy talks,” Ashley Galinsky,

Being able to give back gives the feeling to all of the members that something can be done to help those who have such a small voice, Harris said. Returning alumni even give a helping hand in the effort to stop child abuse.

“They’re one of our main supporters to give help and give money to our Shamrock events and stuff,” Williams said. “They’re super gung-ho to help in any way that they can.”

Going beyond just a thing being done while in college, Kappa Delta members have a special connection with not only the sorority, but also with the philanthropy itself, Harris said.

“Being able to put (money) toward the philanthropies that we support is something that’ll probably go even past being at Tech,” Harris said. ➤➤@MichaelCantuDT

Galinsky said that in her five years as an undergraduate in philosophy she has participated in a different range of topics.

In addition to Grzankowski’s evening talk on Tuesday, Galinsky has attended many different Philosophy Cafés hosted by professors Curzer, Walter Schaller and Hom. “They advertise them in class all the time.

STI-prevention education is highly important United Nations less beneficial than many think

W

hen Texas House of Representatives member Stuart Spitzer (R) took $3 million out of a program to prevent HIV and sexually transmitted infections because of personal convictions, the action was questionable. When Spitzer then relocated the $3 million into abstinence-only education, the action became heinous.

Though other representatives warned about the many reasons STI-prevention programs need funding, such as how Texas has the third-highest number of HIV cases in the country, or how abstinenceonly programs have been proven ineffective, Spitzer could only provide personal experience — “What’s good for me is good for a lot of people,” according to a Texas Tribune article.

While Spitzer is fervent in his beliefs regarding abstinence, there are plenty of other upstanding Texans who disagree. The benefits of abstinence are widely acknowledged, but not every ideology finds it to be a necessity. Texas has the third-highest number of HIV cases, as well as the third-highest number of teen pregnancies, according to the article. Many citizens feel these numbers must be decreased, whatever the cost — even if it means we resort to safe-sex education.

When Spitzer mentions abstinence-only education will be good for many people, he must be talking about the incredibly small number of people who actually follow the abstinence standards set by schools. Though a majority of American students receive this abstinence-only education, few follow it. A study by the Guttmacher Institute, a New York City-based organization that studies sexual health, revealed that 95 percent of passersby reported to having premarital sex.

While a select few students do follow the abstinence guidelines, they are a small amount of cases

Jarrod Miller in the large ocean of American students. Unfortunately, as the majority of students engage in sexual relationships, many become pregnant and acquire an STI due to lack of sex education. In fact, the Texas Department of State Health Services website reports thousands of Texans have an STI but are uneducated on how to diagnose themselves (hint — there are some physical signs, as well as affordable medical tests available). This lack of education is synonymous with high pregnancy and STI rates.

For example, take a report on Mississippi’s disastrous sex education program, conducted by the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S. The report noted that until 2011, Mississippi state law required schools to stress abstinence until marriage, as well as prohibited teachers from showing the use of condoms and other contraceptives.

As a result, statistics from Mississippi’s 2011 “Youth Risk Behavior Survey” showed Mississippi had the second-most teen pregnancies and births, as well as the second-highest statewide number of gonorrhea infections.

Other states with similar education requirements demonstrated the same results. New Mexico’s current curriculum places heavy stress on abstinence and little on contraceptives, which has helped New Mexico take first place for the highest teen pregnancy rates.

The SIECU report proves a high number of STI infections are common among states that stick with abstinence-only education.

It is a prominent idea among

abstinence-only programs teaching students safe-sex methods will give students more incentive to abandon their vows. Teachers will avoid concepts such as contraceptives and the pill, believing students will be more inclined to have sex with the knowledge of how do it safely.

This, of course, is rubbish.

A Columbia University report showed 88 percent of abstinenceonly pledge takers had sex before marriage, proving when students get the urge to do the nasty, they will likely do it. Unfortunately, when these students do choose to have sex, their lack of education will likely lead them to unprotected sex, STI contractions and teenage pregnancies.

Whether to choose abstinenceonly funding that fits with a religious belief, or to choose a secular safe-sex fund that benefits society greatly is Spitzer’s struggle. By choosing to move funds from STI-prevention programs into abstinence-only education, Spitzer makes the personal proclamation that Texas law should further religious doctrine, in spite of the health of its students.

Spitzer certainly did attract much criticism for his choice of funding, which may reflect change in public attitude toward abstinence. As the American public comes to realize the large percentage of students who have premarital sex, more citizens realize the overriding need for safe-sex education. This type of education may not be the most ideal or holy practice for a society to take, but it is the most effective.

When an estimated 95 percent of society admits to premarital sex, STI-prevention education is not only the most effective means of education — it is also the most important.

Volunteer work teaches life skills, good character

G

rowing up, I have always been very involved with my local community, even up to this present day. I have spent a great amount of my time helping those who are less fortunate, which in turn has humbled me as a person.

I feel it is important for all who have a roof over their head, a bed to sleep in every night and have three meals a day to understand the hardships many people go through and why volunteering to help the less fortunate can be beneficial to you as a person.

Volunteering allows you to do something you wouldn’t normally do, and hopefully go into the experience wanting to make the best of it. By volunteering, you are trying something new and getting out of your comfort zone. In time, you will grow as a person, proving to yourself you can make a difference and you can do things in life you never thought you would be able to do.

Through volunteer work, people begin to realize the small things don’t really bother them. Every one of us has definitely made some type of spoiled comment in our lifetime about something we want rather than what we need. After doing some volunteer work, you are able to realize having materialistic things is never going to make you as happy as helping someone who has one-tenth of what you have.

Conrad Polkosnik Money and materials are nothing compared to changing someone’s life, making them smile and showing them you care about their well-being.

From my personal experience volunteering at a food pantry in Plano, the food baskets we made for people gave them and their families enough to eat and drink for at least a week, along with a big smile on their faces. These people are much poorer than the average American in today’s society and don’t have as many luxuries or choices to make about what they eat like the average person does today. These adults make their families and children their first priorities rather than worrying about themselves which truly shows you, as the volunteer, how hard life can truly be and how lucky you are to be in the position you’re in.

Volunteer work not only teaches you lessons about life, but teaches you manners as well. As a child, my mother always taught me to be respectful and always say please and thank you, but being the stubborn

child I was, I never really knew why it was so important until I volunteered for my first time. After helping out at the North Texas Food Bank, I realized why my parents’ teachings were so important. Nobody likes to be around a rude person and nobody likes to feel unappreciated.

At the food bank, I was put into a group to work with a few other people. We were asked to stock up and package the same foods, food cans and beverages in certain places. As I was working with this team, I learned very quickly when I asked for help and didn’t say please or thank you, I was perceived as a snob by the looks I would receive. Being as young as I was, it took me a while to realize and ask myself why I was getting all these weird looks. Then I realized maybe it’s because I wasn’t being as polite as I should have been. I learned using kind words and gestures, along with appreciating help from someone could go a long way.

Volunteer work teaches many of us life skills, and as Americans, we cannot learn by simply reading a book.

You have to go out there and do it.

Volunteer work opens up your eyes to a new perspective of life that maybe you wouldn’t have ever seen if you never volunteered your time. Also, not only are you providing help to someone else and putting a smile on his or her face, but you are also becoming more humble in the process.

In today’s society, it is easy to get caught up in only doing what’s best for you. It has become much harder, in general, to help others, whether it is giving your time, giving money or helping someone with troubles understand a certain concept in one of your classes at school. I urge my audience to follow the word in Hebrews 13:16 that says, “Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.” By following such examples, you will begin to notice how much better you feel about yourself as a person and how putting a smile on someone else’s face could even mean the world to you.

T

he United Nations was a great idea when it was originally founded, and definitely enjoyed much better prospects than the League of Nations.

What about today’s U.N.? What can be said about its efforts to promote peace and stability around the globe? What can be said about its record on so many social injustices that plague the world?

To put it simply, the U.N. has become a cruel farce.

So what is the purpose of the U.N.?

From its charter it is four-fold: “To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace; To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace; To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.”

At first glance, it sounds like a set of wonderful intentions made by wonderful people. The problem is in the execution of policies to bring about these ends, you can end up with some consequences that don’t match your intentions.

Too many people assume everyone thinks as they do and maintain the same moral ideals they do. It is one reason nice guys tend to end up as doormats in today’s society. The way said nice guy wises up to the abuse headed his direction is to educate himself on the history of those around him. Also, as a disclaimer for those who wish to make it a gender issue, I’m speaking from personal experience and frame of reference. Don’t worry about me missing the issue of misogyny, however. I’ll get to it soon enough.

So what is it about the modern U.N. that makes it dysfunctional? For one, while it is technically a democratic body, it rarely acts as one. When it does it acts as a purely democratic body, and with few exceptions, what the majority says is right is typically right.

Recently, there was a member nation endorsed for a seat on the U.N.Women governing board. This country, as told by the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Samantha Powers, bans women from holding some government positions, has no laws against domestic violence and punishes adultery with stoning. Charming aren’t they?

This country also throws those who convert from the dominant religion into jail, at the very least. The only way to get the individual out for a few days is for his or her family to give up all of their material possessions. That includes almost everything but the clothes on their backs. Any woman in Iran who has any part of her body but her hands and feet exposed can be punished and beaten. There are of course other member countries of this board not on the governing body that also discriminate against women.

Similar issues can be raised with

John Bowles the U.N. Human Rights Council, and the multiple human rights-violating countries that hold membership in it.

One great example is Venezuela, which has a history of overcompensating when violently putting down protests, whether they are peaceful or not. There are others such as China and Cuba that are members of the council as well.

This board also recently covered an investigation of Israel’s alleged human rights violations in Gaza while fighting Hamas. The investigator was later outed as a paid consultant for the Palestine Liberation Organization, also known as the governmental organization Hamas uses to seem legitimate. He resigned after finishing the so-called investigation, and the U.N. simply read his findings without having a separate unbiased investigation. This is also a great example of why the U.N. can never seem to make progress in the Middle East.

To put it quite simply, the U.N. is an international organization rife with practices that induce corruption, like the election by accolade process existing in many of its sub-organizations, and backroom deals between third world human rights violators and dictatorships. All the while it panders propaganda to everyone about its sup-

posed successes, receiving more than 20 percent of its normal funding from the U.S., and another 27 percent of the U.N. peacekeeping budget. Many more millions of dollars are paid into its sub-organizations.

Contributions to the U.N. by the U.S. are in the billions every year.

Many of these funds end up in the hands of the rich people in the poor countries through graft, instead of actually doing good things for the people intended. Many of these very people also come looking for amnesty in the U.S. afterward if they can manage it.

I’m not opposed to helping out others in need, but I am opposed to wasting resources on people who take advantage of that kindness. I am also opposed to giving money to one person only to have someone who doesn’t need it taking it from those who do.

The U.N. was a good concept, poorly executed and rife with corruption. I think we could do better giving the money through other channels that are more reliable and empowering the people under corrupt regimes to empower themselves, instead of sending the money through governments that are known to be incredibly corrupt.

While the U.N. needs the U.S. to stay the way it is, I’m not sure the U.S. needs the U.N. In fact, I’m of the opinion supporting the idea the same money can do more good for more people elsewhere.

Tech OF Welborn stays open to change

By DIEGO GAYTAN

delphia Phillies in 1975, taught her how to pitch, and her mother, a member of the Synchronized Swimming Hall of Fame, taught her discipline, she said.

For Welborn, the different approaches her parents took guided her and developed her as an athlete, giving her a perfect balance on how to approach the game.

“With my mom, she didn’t know a lot about softball because she was a swimmer, but she knew a lot about hard work,” Welborn said. “For my dad, it was a great balance because he kept it simple and easy, and my mom made sure that I work hard at it. Both outlooks just came together and I think it was really beneficial for me.”

In her sophomore season, Welborn has taken on a major learning curve as a player, but said she feels comfortable diving and tracking a ball after working with Tech’s coaching staff.

“I didn’t know how much I could improve from last year,” Welborn said. “They make us dive for balls that I didn’t think I could catch before, but now it’s routine.”

Despite working the outfield for most of the season, Gregory said she doesn’t leave out the option of putting Welborn back behind the plate or on the pitchers circle.

“If we needed a catcher, she’s the one that fills in. Even in practice if we’re short a catcher she’s the one that’s thrown back there,” Gregory said. “We’ve moved her both left and right field, and she has seen some innings, and I’m not going to say she’s not going to see innings again. We’ll continue to work and secrete some of her skill sets.”

Welborn sees the game at different angles because of her versatility, she said. As an

Staff Writer

In a pinch situation, Tech coach Adrian Gregory can rely on sophomore Susan Welborn to step in and fill an open spot on the Texas Tech softball defense.

When needed, the North Richland Hills native has taken spots on the pitcher’s circle, behind home plate and in the outfield.

For the majority of her sophomore season, Welborn has roamed Tech’s left outfield as a starter, despite spending most of her high school softball career as a pitcher.

Although it took time to transition into a regular outfielder position, Welborn said, the role change didn’t feel unnatural to her.

“I think it goes back to my dad and my coaches that I used to have,” Welborn said. “They would never just let me be a pitcher.”

Not only does Welborn know how to field a ball in the outfield and aim at the strike zone, she has also spent time as catcher for the Red Raiders.

Before the start of the 2015 season, Gregory said, she slated Welborn as a catcher on the roster because of her willingness and eagerness to play.

“When we first came here, I had her as catcher because she’s just athletic and when I say, ‘Hey Susie you want to do something?’ she just says ‘Yes ma’am,’” Gregory said. “I didn’t even know she was pitcher, to be honest, until probably the end of the spring.”

To begin the 2015 season, Welborn landed an open left outfielder spot, as she showed no fear in taking risks, Gregory said.

Welborn attributes her versatility on the field to her upbringing in an athletic household.

Growing up, Welborn’s father, a first round selection of the Phila-

PORTRAIT BY DUNCAN STANLEY/The Daily Toreador

TEXAS TECH OUTFIELDER Susan Welborn was a utility player last season and has been permanently placed in the outfield this season.

Tech coach Adrian Gregory said Welborn has taken a ‘no fear’ attitude on the field.

outfielder she has a new connection to the game through her collaboration with junior centerfielder Jordan Bettiol.

“I’ve never had a connection with someone like Jordan in the outfield,” Welborn said. “I know if I’m diving this way she’s there and we hold each other accountable. It’s just a great mesh out there. I just light up when I talk about it because that’s where I want to spend my time.”

A player like Welborn who doesn’t oppose a position change doesn’t appear often, Gregory
