Tech coach qualifies for chess World Cup Alex Onischuk, head coach of the Texas Tech chess team, has qualified for and will represent the United States in the World Cup. Onischuk will complete against the top 10 teams in the world this fall, according to a Tech news release, as a part of a five-player team.

“I just want to thank people that supported me during the tournament, including my students and the Texas Tech Chess Program staff,” Onischuk said in the release.

“I received many well wishes from Lubbock during the championship.”

Onischuk’s Knight Raiders placed third in this year’s Final Four of Chess, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador.

He defeated the former world champion in the U.S. Chess Championship, according to the release, in order to qualify.

“We’re extremely proud of Coach Alex’s qualifying for the World Cup, and we’re also very proud of his commitment to represent the USA in the World Team competition,” Al Lawrence, Tech chess program director, said in the release. “A player of his world-class caliber has other, more lucrative options. But he’s been a stalwart on USA teams.

He’s a wonderful example to our students and a great representative of Texas Tech.” ➤➤@DailyToreador

Man arrested following double murder in Lubbock LUBBOCK (AP) — A man has been arrested after a woman he had formerly been in a relationship with and a man were found shot to death in a Lubbock home.

Police say 29-year-old David Ricardo Carrillo was arrested Saturday on a murder charge. He remained in Lubbock County Detention Center on Sunday. Jail records did not list an attorney for him.

Police were called to the home early Saturday morning for a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival officers found the bodies of 27-yearold Jennifer Cruz and 30-year-old Albert Martinez.

Police said Carrillo had previously been in a relationship with Cruz.

Mother of former student speaks out

As a result of a grand jury filing and trial by the Lubbock District Attorney’s office last week, the incident resulting in the death of former Texas Tech student Dalton Debrick was no billed for hazing.

A no bill is when a jury decides there is not enough provided evidence to justify an indictment, according to the Duhaime’s Legal Dictionary.

The Lubbock District Attorney’s office told Debbie Debrick, mother of Dalton, they wanted to wait to issue their own grand jury until Texas Tech finished its investigation into the incident, she said.

After the university finished the investigation, the DA filed for a grand jury, something Debrick said she thought was a hasty move on their part.

After meeting with the DA, she said, there

were several pieces of information she knew had been recovered by Tech that he had not presented.

“I feel that he (the DA) didn’t do his work,” she said. “The grand jury no billed the hazing, which, based on what they were probably presented, I could see that. I feel that the DA did not present all the evidence he had or that Tech had uncovered because Tech uncovered pretty much everything from an hour before my son went to the party up until he was found. They did a phenomenal investigation.”

The family will be challenging the DA’s office, Debrick said, because she feels the situation was swept under the rug.

Six arrest warrants were issued, she said, as a result of the grand jury’s decision, but they will be

for providing alcohol to a minor.

These warrants could take about a month to be fulfilled, Debrick said she was told, but while the students will be arrested she thinks a misdemeanor is not appropriate because the alcohol provided to Dalton Debrick ended up killing him.

“The DA did a horrible job, I feel, presenting this to the grand jury,” she said. “I feel that it’s because they want to sweep it under the rug. From what I understand a hazing case has never been tried in Lubbock.”

Dalton Debrick was found dead Aug. 24 at a house in the 3600 block of 36th Street, according to the Lubbock Medical Examiner’s cause of death report.

This house, according to a lawsuit filed by Tech student Reece Walker, is the same house an Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity party was hosted at the night before.

The fraternity’s colony on Tech’s campus was then suspended as a result of the national headquarters’ investigation into the incident, according to a statement from the fraternity.

Dalton Debrick died, according to the report, as a result of acute alcohol intoxication and his death was ruled an accident.

The Daily Toreador attempted to contact the DA’s office but they could not be reached for comment. ➤➤@KaitlinBainDT

Passing the Torch Masked Rider reins transferred Friday

Students pass guns to next Raider Red

By AMY CUNNINGHAM

Rachel McLelland was named the 54th Masked Rider on Friday afternoon during the Transfer of Reins ceremony in the Texas Tech McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center.

Mackenzie White, the 53rd Masked Rider, passed the reins of Fearless Champion to McLelland, a junior anthropology major from Tijeras, New Mexico.

“This is always a bittersweet time of the year,” Stephanie Rhode, director of the Tech Spirit Program, said. “Though she was little, Mackenzie was fearless.”

White served the university in the most moral, honest and fearless way, Rhode said.

During her year as the Masked Rider, White made 180 appearances, traveled 21,000 miles and doubled the Facebook followers for the Masked Rider, all while maintaining a 3.4 GPA, Rhode said.

“Spending a year as the Masked Rider has been a life-changing experience for me,” White said. “I couldn’t really picture what this would be like. It is more emotional than I thought it might be.”

She said she was happy to keep the most esteemed tradition at Tech alive.

White’s total of 21,000 miles tied the amount of miles traveled by 2013-2014 Masked Rider Corey Waggoner, who set a record for appearances and miles traveled, according to a Tech news release.

“I’ve grown in so many aspects and I see things a little differently now,” she said. “Not only have I grown as a horse person, but I have a new love for meeting new people and promoting Texas Tech. I am forever grateful to Texas Tech University and the Masked Rider program for allowing me the honor of serving as the 53rd Masked Rider.”

Three students revealed their identities as Raider Red on Friday during the ninth annual Passing of the Guns ceremony.

Cody Lancaster, Carson Roye and Zachary Fisher welcomed next year’s two new Raider Reds, who will remain anonymous until next year’s ceremony.

Roye, a senior marketing and management dual major from Waxahachie, and Lancaster, a senior exercise and sport sciences major from May, each served two years as Raider Red while Fisher, a senior business administration and marketing dual major from Sunnyvale, served one year.

Each former mascot received a framed jersey, Raider Red scrapbook and a helmet signed by Kliff Kingsbury, Bruce Bills, head cheer coach, said.

Mayra Ortega, a member of High Riders, stood in several times for Raider Red, Bills said.

“Today’s a difficult day for me and all of us, really, because after today, we’re not going to have the opportunity to suit up as Raider Red anymore,” Fisher said. “That’s kind of depressing, but the reason I joined Saddle Tramps in the first place was so I could make Texas Tech a better place.”

Fisher had more than 65 appearances as Raider Red and said he will always cherish his time as Tech’s mascot.

Being Raider Red gave Fisher the opportunity to share his love of the university, he said.

“Raider Red is his own person. It’s not me in the suit. It’s not Cody or Carson in the suit,” he said. “Raider Red is his own entity, and that’s unbelievable and it’s hard to explain until you get into the suit and become this different person.

You can flirt with any girl that you want, you can steal someone’s hat if you want, you can do anything you want.”

Raider Red makes people feel special and being him is a rewarding experience, he said.

Texas Tech is a university with a goal of promoting diversity on its campus, and many departments and organizations host events to raise awareness on different issues.

The Women’s Studies Program hosted its 31st annual Conference on the Advancement of Women from Thursday through Saturday inside the Student Union building.

Patricia Earl, unit coordinator for the Department of Institutional Diversity, said planning for the conference started last May. “When we talked about the title, we knew we wanted to focus on the word ‘intersectionality,’” she said. “That’s where our conversations and our research are going. We thought that we are still needing to have different sessions that intersect the issues of gender and sexuality.”

This weekend the Lubbock Arts Alliance hosted its annual Lubbock Arts Festival in the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center. The festival premiered local and national artists and provided them the opportunity to show and sell their art.

The festival uses all of the money it makes to run the event, which usually costs around $325,000, Elizabeth Regner, the executive director of the Lubbock Arts Alliance, said.

Through grants, donations and entrance fees, the festival is able to keep itself going.

“We work more than a year in advance on each art festival,” Renger said.

The festival featured national artist Berkley White and provided the opportunity for the artist to showcase a series of photos and videos of sea life.

HSC helps locals dispose of medication

By AMY CUNNINGHAM News editor

To prevent poisoning, abuse and misuse of prescription drugs, the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center School of Pharmacy’s Texas Panhandle Poison Center and the Lubbock County VOICES Coalition hosted the biannual Medication Cleanout event this weekend.

Volunteers collected household medications from Lubbock residents from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday at the Tech Physicians Medical Pavilion. The event will take place again in October.

Jeanie Jaramillo, an assistant professor of pharmacy practice in the HSC School of Pharmacy and managing director of the Texas Panhandle Poison Center, said prescription drug abuse is currently one of the fastest growing drug problems in the United States.

“We’re trying to encourage people to remove those items from

their homes if they’re not using them any l o n g e r, ” s h e said. “Bring them to us so they can be properly disJARAMILLO posed of.”

Aside from drug abuse, Jaramillo said there is also potential for poisoning, particularly among children and the elderly.

As people grow older, they tend to accumulate more medication in the home, which she said could lead to confusion and accidental misuse or overdose.

Children are at risk of accidentally eating pills as well.

According to the Medication Cleanout website, more than 22,000 pounds of medication have been disposed of through events in the West Texas region.

Teresa Alvarado, Lubbock County VOICES Coalition program director, said her organization has partnered with HSC for

five years to prevent youth from abusing prescription drugs.

The coalition is a community organization aimed at preventing and reducing drug and alcohol abuse in at-risk young adults, according to the VOICES website, and several volunteers from the organization helped collect medication outside HSC. “To be able to have something like this reduces that risk in our community, because many people don’t know how to get rid of their medications,” Alvarado said.

“They don’t realize that flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash can lead to dumpster diving, can lead to contaminating our water system and our environment.”

While throwing away or flushing medication is not illegal, Alvarado said these methods are risky because they can pollute water.

Anyone who hoards medication is risking a dangerous situation, she said, because most

people would not notice if a few pills were missing from an untouched bottle.

Nearly 300 people emptied their medicine cabinets during this spring’s cleanout, which Jaramillo said is a new turnout record.

A Lubbock cleanout event has been hosted every fall and spring since 2011, she said, and the event would not be possible without the Lubbock County Sherriff’s Department.

“We’re required by law to have law enforcement here at the event, and they take all of the narcotics and drug substances,” Jaramillo said. “They dispose of those. We take all of the non-controls and we have all of those incinerated.”

Anyone with medication should be aware of what and how much he or she has at home, she said.

Many people do not know what to do with leftover or expired medication, Jaramillo said, and they tell the volunteers how

“Our survey questions always ask what they would’ve done if we didn’t have this event, and a lot of people said they would’ve kept them,” Alvarado said. “We have some people say they would’ve thrown them in the trash or flushed them down the toilet.”

While the Medication Cleanout event is a community service, Jaramillo said, non-identifying data is collected so experts can document what medications are being destroyed.

This helps doctors determine if they are prescribing too much or the wrong kind of medication, she said, in order to develop solutions.

If someone has medication he or she wishes to dispose of but missed the event, the event will return in October and medication should be locked away until then, Jaramillo said, or a person can use coffee grounds or kitty litter to dilute the medication.

“First of all, we want them to use coffee grounds and pour their medicine in that or crush it,” Alvarado said. “They can also use wet kitty litter, put it in a bag and then throw it away. That helps to take away the potency and it also helps prevent dumpster diving. We are now starting to take sharps, so we’re getting rid of those as well this year.”

Roye said it has been an honor to fill the shoes of Raider Red for two years, and he looks forward to seeing what the next mascots accomplish.

“The two new students who just got Raider Red, they’re great,” he said. “I know we’re leaving the program in very capable hands, and I know the program has a bright future looking ahead.”

Lancaster appeared as Raider Red more than 140 times and said Raider Red is a part of him now.

Lancaster traveled with the Red Raider football team to San Diego last season to represent Tech in the Holiday Bowl, which he said was one of his favorite experiences and showed how dedicated Tech fans are to the university.

Tech would be a different university without the Saddle Tramps and their dedication, Lancaster said.

“Texas Tech University has done nothing but help me live bigger than what my dreams could ever have created for me,” he said.

Fisher told the incoming Raider Reds to cherish their time, he said, and to leave an impression of what Tech is about with others.

Roye, with more than 160 appearances as Raider Red, had the most appearances out of the three mascots this year.

He said every single appearance has been a great experience and memory.

One of Roye’s most memorable experiences as Raider Red was when he shot the shotguns at a Tech home football game, he said.

“That is the most nervous I’ve ever been in my life. I was shaking, and I was just thinking of all the ways I could just mess up in front of 60,000 people,” he said. “I went out there, I shot those shotguns, I heard 60,000 people yelling, ‘Go, fight, win,’ and that was an experience I’ve never experienced before. I’ve never felt more alive.”

Department of Theatre, Dance hosts performance

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

This weekend the Texas Tech Department of Theatre and Dance hosted the annual Raider Red’s Awesome Dance Spectacular in the Maedgen Laboratory Theatre. Featuring dance styles from all spectrums of the arts, the event brought together all types of dancers to one stage.

Full of student choreography, RRADS program was organized by students who participated in the event, Kayla Northcut, an elementary education major from Carlsbad, New Mexico, said. With only a few staff members helping run the event, the students were charged with the task of coming up with a dance sequence and the music to go along with the dance.

“This was just another opportunity to perform, because we like to perform,” Northcut said. “So we thought we would just audition and come out and dance.”

Being part of the dance program at Tech, Northcut said this would be a way to find a bit of relaxation time and step away from the other formalities that come with dance. The dance spectacular also serves as a way for students to show off what they have learned throughout the year as well.

Those who auditioned sent in videos, and most of the people who auditioned were able to get perform in the show, Northcut said. Dance professors oversaw the whole operation, and were the ones choosing the dancers and groups to perform in the show.

“It was another opportunity for my dance team,” Morgan Smith, a junior from Dallas, said. “We’re a very small dance team, we started out as all girls and we still continue to be all girls.”

Smith and her group were the only trio of the show. With students from all over the campus auditioning and joining, the crew created a diverse set of performers.

Not all those in the show were students of the dance and theatre department, but all were Tech students, Smith said. Though it was not a requirement to be a Tech student, it does make it easier to schedule out practices and performances.

“I enjoy performing, I love performing probably more in front of thousands of people rather than a few people,” Smith said, “but it just gives you a good feeling because it’s outside of your element and dancing with music is just another way to express emotion.”

The dances showcased showed much more than knowledge of dance

technique and training, Lacee Fortune, a freshman dance major from Dripping Springs, said.

“I believe that it is not only showcasing dances as much it is showcasing people’s personalities and their way of life.”

Keeping a sharp eye out for costuming and dance cleanliness, the professors who chose the performers wanted to make sure all the dancers had something unique to bring to the audience, Fortune said.

“The stage has a lot of adrenaline that comes with it,” she said. “So whenever you’re performing for other people your adrenaline just shoots way up, and the intensity levels do too. The feeling is pretty much indescribable.”

Fortune tries to keep calm before, during and after performances, she said.

Even though it is difficult to keep her emotions under control, it makes the focus on the task ahead clear.

“There’s a lot that goes into it,” she said. “A lot of times people don’t even know what art forms there are of dance.”

RRADS ran April 16-18 and had a total of nine performances and 13 performers. Audience members from all over Texas Tech came to see the dancers show off their numerous talents, ranging from contemporary dances to hip-hop

for them but for Tech and students in general to get out and appreciate the arts,” Hobson said. “I think this is a really nice avenue for both.” ➤➤@MichaelCantuDT

Facilities, clubs offer stress free activities before finals

PHOTO BY JACOB SNOW/The Daily Toreador

STUDENTS PLAY BASKETBALL Sunday at the Leisure Pool. The Leisure Pool is one of the many facilities at Texas Tech that offers students a chance to relax.

By MARIA CORTE Staff Writer

Prior to finals week, Texas Tech’s facilities and clubs have prepared activities and events to help cater to students seeking a good way to manage their stress.

The university’s Turf Club, Student Counseling Center, Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center and Fitness and Wellness Center are among the many groups on campus that have taken an initiative to inform students about the importance of a stress-free college experience.

“I wanted to inform people about it who may want to play in the tournament, and especially wanted to let students know as this will be the Friday before finals begin, so it could be a stress reliever for them before the fun exam schedules begin,” Joey Young, faculty adviser of the Turf Club, said.

The Turf Club is hosting the event

in order to raise funds for the group’s future meetings and travel expenses, Young said. The tournament begins at 11 a.m. May 1 at the Meadowbrook Golf Club. The cost is $50 per player and includes free lunch and hitting practice.

“The event is primarily hosted for fun, it’s the Friday before finals and we thought it might be a good outing for students to release their stress before the future stress of tests and everything,” Young said. “The more participation the better it is for the club. This is for all students and hopefully they see it is a good opportunity to have fun and play golf on a nice afternoon.”

The deadline for the tournament is April 27, and any students interested are urged to contact Young, he said.

Aside from the events hosted by groups like the Turf Club, Tech’s facilities are available for students

all year.

“Just coming to the Recreational Center to take a class or lifting weights is really good for the brain and body,” Betty Blanton, associate director of the Fitness and Wellness Center at Tech, said. “There’s a big difference between general positive stress relief compared to just a student’s methods of stress relief.”

Exercise is not only good for a student’s body but also for the biochemicals in their brain, Blanton said. As a result of exercising there are positive effects on the brain, which then facilitate students’ ability to study and think better.

“During the week of finals the four most important things for students should be physical activity, sleep, good nutrition and stable emotions,” she said. “Work out, relax and have fun. It’s also important to keep social contact during finals, so try to do things like play basketball, lift weights or even go to leisure pool.”

Tech’s Rec Center offers several choices for students to help ease the stress of finals, like massage sessions, fitness classes and the recent reopening of the Student Leisure Pool.

Additionally, throughout the week of finals and dead day, the Rec Center will be offering special yoga classes to help students connect themselves with their mind and body.

“Stress is a natural part of life,” Nancy S. Robinson, licensed psychologist and MindSpa coordinator at the Student Counseling Center, said. “You need stress, it motivates you to study and do well as a student.

It’s important to have a nice amount of stress and then manage it when it goes into the ‘too much’ zone.”

Robinson is one of the numer-

ous psychologists at the Student Counseling Center, she said, and the center offers a variety of settings and activities to help students maintain stress levels at a healthy state. This includes the Relaxation Room, Mind and Body Room and the new addition of the MindSpa. “Students don’t have to be doing counseling to do these things,” Robinson said. “The Relaxation Room has things like a massage chair and computer, which gives a student access to meditation programs that provide a calming and

peaceful experience through sounds and visuals. Meanwhile, the Mind and Body Room includes a similar experience, only with a meditation program through the Xbox Kinect.

We know that sitting and meditation is not for everyone, and this gives us a way to not only get students moving but also get feedback through a non-traditional form of meditation.”

It is important for students to cope with their cognitive, emotional and physical behavior, she said. By managing time effectively, affirming yourself through positive feedback

and doing simple day-to-day activities like eating healthy and getting sleep, students are able to successfully provide themselves a stress-free environment.

“These are some great things for students to do when trying to prepare for finals before they even begin. Support and self-care, it’s an on and off thing,” Robinson said. “Certain levels of stress are helpful, but stress is not just a physical symptom, it can also get in the way of a student’s optimal performance.” ➤➤@TheDT_LaVida

Clinton wants to revive the middle class. This is a policy nearly every Democrat strives for. Reviving the middle class will take changes from income inequality to the huge gap between CEOs and workers.

As a Democrat, I agree this is something we need to change and I think Clinton has the experience in politics to come up with a smart plan to do so.

While some have considered it a bad move, Clinton also seems to be standing by President Barack Obama. According to The Washington Post, she only wants to “fill gaps” in the Affordable Care Act and not get rid of it. One of these gaps includes a proposal that would allow insurance companies to compete across state lines. Some have argued Obama’s popularity ratings are so low, it would be an unwise decision to stand behind any of his policies, but this is incorrect for multiple reasons. One, presidents tend to experience a drop in approval rates in the second half of their presidencies. Two, Obama and Clinton worked side-by-side for years, so saying he has done a poor job hurts her credibility as well.

Clinton also supports free

...people only want to vote for her because she is a woman and not because she really is a smart candidate.

I also think it’s sad people automatically compare her to Elizabeth Warren, instead of a male who has the potential to run.

IS HILLARY CLINTON THE BEST CANDIDATE TO REPRESENT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY FOR PRESIDENT? VOTE ONLINE AND LET US KNOW

WWW.DAILYTOREADOR.COM 2008 her campaign focused on immigration reform and not income inequality. I think Clinton has solid policies Democrats support no matter who might be proposing them, which is why I think she is a solid candidate for the party.

Yes, I want to see a woman become president, but I want to see it for the right reasons.

Please do not vote for Clinton just because she looks really great in pantsuits and it’s time for a woman to be president.

Vote for her because she has outstanding foreign policy experience, the ability to handle domestic issues and experience in handling domestic issues as well.

Of course I want to see the glass ceiling shattered, of course I want women to break down every single barrier put before us, but I want Clinton to win because people are informed and want her to represent our nation in a way we want to be represented. Clinton will be a champion for Democrats, no matter their gender.

W

hen Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy for president, no one was surprised. Everyone knew she would run, and many are presuming she’ll be the Democratic nominee and face off against whichever Republican candidate is able to survive the all-out war that will be the GOP primary.

Clinton has been preparing for being president since before her husband left office. She served in the U.S. Senate, lost her primary campaign in 2008 and then served as Secretary of State. From a certain perspective, it’s her turn now, and her winning the Democratic nomination is inevitable.

But it shouldn’t be.

If the Democrats are smart, they at least won’t give Clinton the

When I go to the polls I will not be voting for Clinton because she is a woman. I do not think Clinton is the champion for women she has been made out to be. I think it is sad, and shows just how far from gender equality we really are, that people only want to vote for her because she is a woman and not because she really is a smart candidate. I also think it’s sad people automatically compare her to Elizabeth Warren, instead of a male who has the potential to run.

nomination without a fight, because the party actually has a better candidate than Clinton — Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Now in full disclosure, I’ve never voted Democrat and have no plans to. Personally, I hope Clinton gets the nomination because she’s beatable. If the Republicans nominate the right candidate (either Rand Paul or Marco Rubio) and don’t screw it up, they can win against Clinton.

But Warren could present an entirely different challenge.

Many in the more progressive wing of the Democratic Party have been pushing for Warren to run, though she’s previously said she won’t. They’re not enthusiastic about Clinton and want someone who will excite the base. Warren would be that candidate.

Warren is not a career politician, with her first run for political office coming in 2012, and has been a major fighter against Wall Street and the banking system, and hasn’t just fought against Republicans in that arena.

Relief Program), Warren barbecued not just Bush’s Treasury chief, Hank Paulson, but also Obama’s appointee, Tim Geithner.”

Warren has a strong populist appeal that Clinton lacks, and the message that she’s looking out for the middle class will resonate more strongly because she’s actually got a record to prove it. In the first few weeks of her congressional campaign, according to the New York Times Magazine article, 96 percent of the donations received came from donors who gave $100 or less, which shows her support lies more with individuals than big businesses.

I t ’s t r u e that Clinton has much more political experience than Warren does, and if Warren were to run, Clinton would surely make that known.

But this is the same country that elected President Barack Obama, who had virtually no experience, in 2008.

Voters tend to care more about whether they like the candidate than the candidate’s experience.

The lack of experience could very well end up working in Warren’s favor. Not only could she claim to be an outsider and portray Clinton as the insider, but she also has little, if any, political baggage. Clinton, on the other hand, has so much baggage I doubt she could fly on a commercial airline.

The recent missing e-mail scandal has hurt Clinton’s image. The terrorist attack in Benghazi, while she was Secretary of State, and the lack of a response to it will also be used against her, especially by Republicans. But these are just the most recent examples.

The 1993 death of Vincent Foster, who was Deputy White House Counsel during the early days of Bill Clinton’s administration, has been the subject of conspiracy theories alleging his suicide, which came at a rather convenient time, was actually a murder either ordered or covered up by the Clintons.

And let’s not forget the additional baggage that is Bill Clinton. The Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers and Monica

“

Lewinsky scandals are the most wellknown, but there are many others, including the Whitewater affair, in which Foster allegedly “had worked intensively with another Arkansas lawyer to expunge Bill and Hillary’s financial records of a shady land deal,” according to a Daily Mail article.

Plus, if Hillary Clinton were to become president, Bill Clinton could then be known as The First Gentleman. Do we really want an “alleged” sexual deviant known as “Slick Willie” to have that title?

Basically, this history means essentially all voters already have an opinion of both Hillary and Bill Clinton, and this campaign likely won’t change that.

Warren, however, having little political baggage and not nearly as much name recognition, can use her campaign to shape her image amongst the public that, outside of Massachusetts, might not know who she is.

What this all adds up to is that from my Republican-voting perspective, I’m not afraid of Hillary Clinton. She has so much baggage and so many negative opinions already formed of her, so the GOP, if it stays out of its own way, can beat her.

Clinton doesn’t scare me.

Warren, however, does scare me.

She could garner enough mainstream appeal, in addition to really exciting the Democratic base, to cause problems for the Republican nominee.

Clinton just can’t excite voters like Obama did, but Warren can.

Plus, Warren is also a woman, so the voters who will vote for Clinton simply because she’s a woman will have to actually consider the two candidates beyond their gender.

Clinton’s getting all the attention now, and rightfully so, but if the Democrats really want to win, they’ll make every attempt to convince Warren to run. If Clinton defeats Warren to earn the nomination, then she will undoubtedly be the best candidate and be battletested for the general election, but as it stands right now, Warren would have strong odds if she were to throw her hat in the ring.

Warren has a strong populist appeal that Clinton lacks, and the message that she’s looking out for the middle class will resonate more strongly because she’s actually got a record to prove it.

n 2001 the only American first lady to serve in a national office was elected to the U.S. Senate. In 2009 that same woman became the 67th U.S. secretary of state until 2013, and in 2015 that same woman has announced she will attempt to shatter the glass ceiling and become the first woman president for America.

Hillary Clinton made her announcement in a video posted on her campaign website with “everyday Americans” saying what they want to accomplish in 2016 and Clinton saying she wants to be a “champion for everyday Americans” in 2016.

“Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top,” she said in the video. “Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion so you can do more than just get by — you can get ahead and stay ahead, because when families are strong, America is strong.”

Clinton will not reveal a detailed agenda and plans in the early stages of campaigning, according to a Washington Post article. While in Iowa, she previewed some of her strategies.

Volunteers encourage youth to pursue college

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

JESSICA CHAMBERS, A graduate student studying special education diagnostician from Fort Worth, helps a Lubbock resident shoot a basketball Saturday at the Mae Simmons Community Center.

Many students from Lubbock choose to attend Texas Tech when they graduate high school, but atrisk youth may not even consider college as a possibility.

The Lubbock Mission Church hosted its first Mission Empowerment event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday at Mae Simmons Park to encourage local youth from low-income families to go to college.

David Cole, a member of the Lubbock Mission Church, said he started helping organize the event a year ago.

“We feel really strongly about the kids in Lubbock and the importance of education,” he said. “I think it’s a great time to bring people together.”

The event was hosted outdoors, and youth participated in a punt-

The vendors ranged from martial arts trainers to coffee salespersons and gave a bit more insight to the artistic market the area has. The festival also showcased winners of school art contests, and had paintings, drawing and small sculptures created by school children around the area.

“We decided that this was an event that we really wanted to support and help further the arts in Lubbock,” Joanna Conrad, assistant director and editor-inchief of the Texas Tech University Press, said. “Because so many of our books are photography based, we just thought it was a really good synergy of ideas.”

The University Press’ involvement with the festival began as just a way to find artists for the book “Art of West Texas Women,” Conrad said, but after seeing how much unique local art there was at the festival, the press decided to continue attending the event.

The booth featured book published by the University Press, and gave attendees background stories of the books and short stories, she said.

Guitar makers, potters and sculptors alike all had booths

Berkley, a native of Lubbock, has claimed national fame through his photography and photography company by pioneering the art of underwater imagery, according to the festival news release.

Saturday began with a “Run for the Arts” fun run, Regner said.

Once done with their run, participants were then invited inside the Civic Center to see the numerous performing artists, as well as other artists’ exhibits.

it was important to support the at-risk youth of Lubbock.”

It is important to talk to youth about college at an early age to expose them to the opportunities students have in college, Cole said, and the Mission Empowerment event was a fun way to talk to youth about college.

It is important for Tech students to volunteer in the local community to help improve it, Brock said, and volunteering is a way for students to show they appreciate the support the Lubbock community gives to the university.

“Texas Tech is a really big contributor to the Lubbock community,” he said. “If youth understand the importance of furthering their education by coming to Texas Tech or some other higher institution, they can further themselves.” ➤➤@JenRomeroDT

and were promoting their art as well. The festival had live performances of artists from Lubbock throughout the whole day.

Artists of the area were presenting children with toy-like works and explaining the purpose of what particular paintings meant to adults.

“I think it is important to support local artists,” Amanda Werts, managing editor for the Texas Tech University Press, said, “because my mother is an artist from here and anything you can do to support that helps.”

All in all the festival successfully showed off what many people in Lubbock are not aware of, Conrad said. The festival gave note of how diverse and cultural Lubbock can be, and hosting events such as the art festival gives more of a voice to those around the area who contribute to the arts.

“This is the premier event of the year for the arts,” Conrad said. “It just seems like it’s grown so much just in the years we’ve been involved. I really think that (the festival) is starting to take off, and it’s just a really exciting event to attend.” ➤➤@MichaelCantuDT

“It definitely makes a difference,” Cole said. “It inspires the kids to want to be like them and go to college. It’s important to go to college because it opens up so many doors and opportunities to better yourself and your future.”

Young adults from lower-income families are also less likely to stay connected with school and work than middle-income adults between the ages of 18 and 24, according to the DHHS website.

The conference started with the dance performance “Ordinary Wars,” which focused on the narratives of both women who have chosen not to marry and women who are newly married.

The recipients of the scholarships offered by Women’s Studies were announced at a luncheon held at noon on Friday.

Olivia Ross, a junior landscape architecture major from Long Beach, California, was one of the recipients of the Gwen Sorell Scholarship.

“I was very honored, not only to get the scholarship but because of the title of the scholarship,” she said. “Diversity and gender are important. I love that it has been a focus of TTU.” Loretta Ross, co-founder of the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, spoke at 1 p.m. on Friday about reproductive justice.

Ross became sterile at the age of 23 after actions taken by her doctor, and she has worked for the cause of reproductive freedom and justice since she was in college.

“With Loretta Ross, it was a really good way to add another intersection when we talk about race and class,” Earl said. “Having her as a speaker complimented where we felt like the conversation was going on campus. We thought it would be a good exclamation point to hear from someone who has been in the movement for so long and is continuing.”

Various sessions were hosted throughout Friday and Saturday, and speakers presented on a variety of topics from humanities to art to law.

“We got a lot of volunteers from Tech, my church and other local organizations.”

No. 10 Tech golf tees off against No. 32 TCU, No. 2 Texas

By BRANDON SOLIZ Staff Writer

On Saturday, the Texas Tech Red Raider Golf team faced off against No. 2 Texas, No. 20 New Mexico, and No. 32 Texas Christian and came out on top in the one-day JP Energy Red Raider Shootout.

The tournament marked the first time Tech hosted a tournament at the Rawls Course since its existence.

In the first round of tournament play, the Texas Longhorns teed off against the New Mexico Lobos.

The Longhorns defeated the Lobos in a tiebreaker after playing 18 holes deadlocked, with neither team pulling ahead of the other.

Texas Christian then faced off against Tech, and Tech took the morning match, going 4-up on the Horned Frogs.

Freshman Wes Artac was one of the four players to capture a victory

against his opponent the round.

With the end of round one of the tournament, Tech teed off against Texas for the afternoon match.

New Mexico and Texas Christian tied at the end of their match with two wins each.

Tech took the first matchup against the Longhorns with a win coming by the clubs of senior Matias Dominguez.

Dominguez took the Rawls Course fresh off an appearance at the Masters Tournament, which is hosted annually in Augusta, Georgia, and is the first of four tournaments hosted every year by the PGA. Sophomore Hannes Ronneblad, senior Esteban Restrepo and Artac won their matchups against the Longhorns as well, and clinched the upset over the Longhorns.

Artac picked up two victories against his Big 12 competition, and during his match against Texas was

down by two before winning four straight holes to go up and win his match.

“It’s a momentum builder,” Artac said. “It gives us all confidence and makes us feel good, and it’s golf that’s the key; if you feel good, you’re going to play good.”

For the past two years, Texas has captured the Big 12 title, and Tech coach Greg Sands, wants his team to keep the momentum with the Big 12 championships coming up in a week.

“We can’t lose sight of the fact that there’s things we need to get better, but we have a lot of momentum so we just need to ride that out,” Sands said. “Right now, it’s the details and the toughness that is the difference in championships.”

Next the Red Raiders head north April 27 for three days of golf at the Big 12 Championships in Tulsa, Oklahoma. ➤➤@TheDT_Sports

The No. 2 Baylor Bears tennis team spoiled senior night for the No. 16 Texas Tech Red Raiders with a 4-1 win Saturday night at the McLeod Tennis Center.

Baylor led early in the match as the Bears won all three of the doubles matches against the Red Raiders.

The Baylor duo of No. 2 junior Julian Lenz and senior Diego Galeano took the first doubles match 6-4 against Tech juniors Hugo Dojas and No. 33 Felipe Soares.

Bears sophomore Vince Schneider and junior Felipe Rios secured the doubles point with a 7-5 set win against the team of Tech freshman No. 113 Alex Sendegeya and No. 106 sophomore Jolan Caileau.

To finish out the doubles matches, Baylor seniors Tony Lupieri and Max Tchoutakian defeated Tech senior Francisco Zambon and freshman Connor Curry.

At the start of the singles matches, Baylor put the Red Raiders in a hole, as Rios defeated Zambon 6-1 and 6-2 in two sets to give the Bears a 2-0 lead.

Baylor continued to extend Tech’s deficit as No.112 senior Mate Zsiga defeated Caileau, taking the first set 6-1 and the second 6-2.

A pair of set wins from Curry kept the Red Raiders in their matchup versus the Bears and cut Tech’s deficit to 3-1.

Tech coach Tim Siegel said Baylor picked up key wins early on to put Tech at a significant disadvantage.

“When you lose two matches as badly as we did, it put us in a hole,” Siegel said.

“Overall I’m really proud. (The Bears are) No.2 in the nation for a reason.”

After losing their first sets, Sendegeya, Dojas and Soares battled to hold off the Bears from taking the final singles point and sealing their matchup victory.

Before picking up the final singles point, Sendegeya pushed his match to the third set by evening out the score with a 6-3 second-set win, and Dojas continued to battle in the second set as the score stood at 3-3.

After Lenz picked up a 5-3 advantage in the second set, Soares staged a rally as he cut Lenz’ second-set advantage to 5-4. Lenz, however, finished the match by picking up the final point of the match and helping Baylor to its final victory of the regular season.

For Tech’s lone senior, Zambon, Saturday’s match at the McLeod Center was his last at home for the Red Raiders.

At the end of the season, Tech stands at an 18-7 overall record and a 2-3 Big 12 record.

Tech travels to Waco to compete in the Big 12 Championship Tournament next, and faces the No.10 Texas Longhorns Friday at the Hurd Tennis Center.

a good showing to affect its positioning in the 2015 NCAA Championships.

“First round of the tournament we’re playing the No. 10 team in the country,”

Siegel said. “We played well on the road, and we know we got to beat Texas in order to host. We’ll be ready to go for sure.” ➤➤@DGaytanDT

Men’s, women’s track members stay strong while at different meets The Texas Tech track and field team was set to compete in California this weekend, but not members competed at the same meet.

Split between the Mt. SAC Relays, the Michael Johnson Classic and the Bryan Clay Invitational, the Red Raiders and Lady Raiders were still able to capture several top finishes throughout the weekend.

At the Bryan Clay Invitational, senior thrower Kole Weldon completed a sweep

in the shot put and discus, according to a news release from Tech Athletics, defeating nearly 120 throwers in the process. It was the seventh time Weldon won a throwing event during the 2015 outdoor season.

Junior Lady Raider Hannah Carson also placed in a throwing event at the meet, taking third in the women’s discus, according to the release. Throughout the 2015 season, Carson has not finished lower than fourth in any event.

Several Red Raider distance runners also competed at the Bryan Clay Invitational, with junior Evans Tuitoek placing seventh among collegians in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and freshman Miguel Bautista running an outdoor collegiate-best in the 5,000-meter.

At the Michael Johnson Classic, Tech dealt with rainy weather, but still received top finishes from consistent performers.

The high jump duo of senior JaCorian Duffield and junior Bradley Adkins placed

first and second in yet another meet, according to a news release from Tech Athletics, with Duffield winning on fewest attempts at 7-2.5 feet.

No other Red Raiders or Lady Raiders placed higher than fourth at the Classic before the meet was finally canceled because of weather.

The track team will be back in action next weekend in Des Moines, Iowa, at the Drake Relays. ➤➤@TheDT_Sports
