Debris litters area outside Texas plant explosion WEST (AP) — The blast at a Texas fertilizer plant made perhaps its biggest mark on an apartment building across the railroad tracks from the site.

The apartment building’s roof was collapsed in the Wednesday blast, its windows blown out and chunks of concrete littered the space between the tracks and the apartments.

Officials organized a visit to the area around the blast site in West on Sunday for a small group of reporters.

They did not allow reporters to see what was happening at the site, though four heavily damaged metal structures were visible from nearby.

At least 14 people are dead and 200 injured after the blast in the tiny Texas town.

Federal and state agents continue to work the scene. Authorities have not yet identified the cause of the blast.

Student shares Boston Marathon experience

By PAIGE SKINNER LA VIDA EDITOR

Rich Krupar III said he refuses to let the Boston Marathon bombers instill fear in him.

Krupar, a Texas Tech wind science and engineering doctoral student from Cleveland, is in Boston interning for a risk consulting firm. He has almost reached the two-month mark of living in Boston, but last week was one he described as sad and eventful.

The firm Krupar works for is about a block away from the location of Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings.

“I was actually at work,” he said. “I was down there about an hour before the blasts went

‘‘

off. And then I went I took the day back to work just to just kind of because I wanted to watch the elite run- reflect on how ners come in — I was thankful I was a former collegiate that I wasn’t runner — and I had down there at heard what sounded the time...” like cannons going off in the office, and Rich Krupar III we really didn’t think Tech Student anything of it. We just thought it was something affiliated with the marathon, no big deal.”

Krupar’s roommate at Tech, Patrick Hawbecker, said he learned about the bombings via

Twitter and then texted Krupar to make sure he was OK. “I texted him because he was at, like, the finish line earlier,” the atmospheric science master’s student from Gaithersburg, Md., said, “and I just texted him, like, ‘Hey, man. I’m assuming you’re all right. What happened?’ And he had no idea.

He texted me back asking, like, ‘I don’t know.

What are you talking about?’”

It was then that Krupar and his co-workers learned the noises were more.

“We all crowded around a TV,” he said. “We were devastated by it because it was such a big deal in Boston.”

Krupar said he was nervous to ride public transportation home, but knew he had to.

“It was pretty scary,” he said. “I had never been involved in anything like this, and only being in the city for a month and a half and heavily relying on public transportation, I was pretty nervous getting on.”

Krupar arrived home safely and decided to take the next day of work off.

“I took the day to just kind of reflect on how thankful I was that I wasn’t down there at the time because I was literally standing across the street from where the second one went off,” he said, “so I was not there when it happened, but I was there an hour before it had happened, and so just thinking about it, just kind of gave me chills.”

Tech spring game breaks attendance record

By MICHAEL SUNIGA

Iran says election will not affect nuclear stance TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — An Iranian nuclear negotiator is saying that Iran’s coming presidential election will not affect its stance in nuclear talks with world powers.

The Sunday report by the official IRNA news agency quotes Abbas Araghchi as saying “changes in domestic politics in Iran will not affect the trend in nuclear talks.”

Araghchi, a deputy foreign minister, also said Iran is ready for further talks.

The remark is seen a message to permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany to return to talks after the last round in April made no breakthrough.

No date has been decided for further talks.

The West is trying to curb Iran’s nuclear program since it suspects it has a military dimension. Iran is insisting its program is for peaceful purposes.

Although it’s just spring, hype behind new coach Kliff Kingsbury and the football program is all but minimal, as demonstrated by the 16,116 fans — a new record — at Texas Tech’s annual spring game Saturday.

At Jones AT&T Stadium, the Tech defense defeated the offense, 34-28, marking Tech’s first real game experience with the newly appointed coaching staff.

Although his offense got off to a slow start, Kingsbury said he was happy with the overall effort, given that it was a spring game.

“We had a bunch of our playmakers out and the defense stepped up and shut us down,” he said. “(They) dominated the first half. It’s good to see them play that way.”

Going into the half, the defense led the offense, 16-7. Although the defense did not score traditional points, it was scored on a special system where the defense was rewarded points for sacks, turnovers and missed field goals, among other plays.

With the regular season more than four months away, Kingsbury said he has not figured out who will start at the quarterback position. However, sophomore quarterback Michael Brewer seems to be the favorite thus far as he received snaps with the first team.

Brewer also opened the scoring for the offense, completing a 15-yard pass to Tech junior tight end Jace Amaro with fewer than three minutes left in the second quarter.

The offense eventually got going with Brewer, who finished the afternoon 26-of-43 for 282 yards with two touchdowns.

Freshman quarterback Davis Webb logged 224 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 17-of-30 passing.

Amaro’s opening touchdown accounted for a small portion of his receiving yards for the day, totaling 80 yards against the Tech defense.

Brewer said he enjoys throwing to Amaro because he is a big target and he can do a multitude of things on the field.

TEXAS TECH TIGHT end Jace Amaro breaks a tackle from linebacker Zach Winbush during the Spring Game on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Amaro said he enjoys playing with Brewer, suggesting their on-field chemistry is sparked by a close relationship off the field.

“I’m always at Michael’s house,” he said. “I’ve known that guy for six years and I feel like he’s the brother that I never had. He knows where I’m gonna be (on the field) he knows how high I can jump.”

After playing in front of the home crowd, Amaro said he has high hopes for the fall, where he expects to be a marquee player.

“I’m expecting to break every single record,” he said. “Every single tight end record that has ever been made. I wanna be able to be the Xfactor in games.”

Since Kingsbury’s appointment, Brewer said the Red Raider’s offense has taken on a new identity, playing faster than the previous season.

Amaro voiced a similar opinion of the team’s new identity with Kingsbury, saying there is an added sense of excitement for the team and its upcoming goals.

“I feel like the Big 12 is wide open this year,” he said. “We’re gonna have to set the tone early in the season.”

Although the players’ roles are not clearly defined at this point in the season, Kingsbury said competition is present at all positions.

The Red Raiders begin the 2013 season against SMU at 7 p.m., Aug. 30 in Dallas.

“We’ve got to keep at it in the film room,” Brewer said, “then just take it into the fall.” ➤➤msuniga@dailytoreador.com

Sexuality, advocacy and violence were the topics discussed during Behind the Perspective: Advocacy, Social Justice, and the Cultural Dimensions of Mental Health conference Saturday.

The seminar was hosted by the Counselor Education Department in the College of Education. It was organized by a group of 16 doctoral students as part of a multicultural social justice class.

Topics stemmed from issues including ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

social injustice, discrimination, racism and sexism.

Speakers came from different agencies and communities from Texas Tech and areas in and around Lubbock.

“Our goal for the conference,” Nicole Poulsen, a doctoral student who helped organize the event, said, “was to bring about advocacy and awareness for social justice issues relating to (mental health conference field) with violence, sexual violence, sexuality and diversity in institution,” Many different people attended the

seminar, she said, including professionals within the field of mental health, school counselors and masters and doctoral students.

There were speakers on human trafficking, sexual assault, sexual violence, working with disabled or aging individuals and domestic violence.

“The whole point of this was to bring awareness,” Elizabeth Deming, another doctoral student who helped organize the event, said, “so people know about those injustices that are occurring and what we can do to advocate for those populations.”

Newtown families: We’ll keep fighting for gun law WASHINGTON (AP) — Disappointment. Disgust. Grossly unfair.

That’s how some families who lost loved ones in December’s massacre at a Connecticut elementary school view the Senate’s defeat earlier this week of the most farreaching gun control legislation in two decades, as they pledged to keep fighting for measures to prevent gun violence.

Neil Heslin, Erica Lafferty and Carlee Soto were among the Newtown, Conn., family members who spent a week on Capitol Hill describing how their loved ones died at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14. But their stories of horror and heroism were no match for a threat from the National Rifle Association to rate the vote, and concern from Republicans and a small band of rural-state Democrats.

Lafferty, whose mother, school principal Dawn Hochsprung, lunged unarmed at the gunman to stop him from firing the assault weapon, said she was “honestly disgusted that there were so many senators that are doing nothing about the fact that my mom was

gunned down in her elementary school, along with five other educators and 20 6- and 7-year-old children.”

The Senate rejected on Wednesday a series of gun control bills that would have tightened background checks for buyers, banned assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, and loosened restrictions on carrying concealed weapons across state lines, the last measure backed by the NRA. Within hours of the votes, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords accused senators who opposed the new regulations of “cowardice” in a piece published in the New York Times’ op-ed page. Giffords was among 13 people wounded two years ago when a lone gunman opened fire as she met with constituents in a Tucson, Ariz., shopping mall, killing six others. She and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, had lobbied for the bills’ passage.

On CBS’ “Face the Nation,” moderator Bob Schieffer asked Heslin, Lafferty and Soto Sunday whether the words “cowardice” and “cowards” were appropriate to describe Wednesday’s vote.

Law School hosts honors, awards ceremony

By CAROLYN HECK STAFF WRITER

The Texas Tech School of Law hosted its annual Honors and Awards Ceremony on Friday in the Lanier Auditorium.

The ceremony recognized law students for their achievements and services within the school, said Danette Weller, the assistant director for calendar and special events. “ We h a v e a n h o n o r s a n d awards ceremony to honor our students,” she said, “either based on service awards, individual achievements, special recognition, top grade awards. Some

of our groups like our Student Ambassadors and our Student Bar Association, all of those students will be recognized.”

According to the brochure of events, the ceremony was introduced by Darby Dickerson, dean of the law school, and followed by a reception.

Members of various organizations were honored first, said Julie Doss, assistant dean for external relations, including the Student Bar Association, the Order of the Coif, Phi Kappa Phi, the Board of Barristers and the Law Journal Executive Boards.

Following that, awards were given for top grades, individual

achievement and special recognition, she said.

Alumni and outside organizations or friends of the college sponsored some of the awards given at the event, Doss said.

“The people who have endowed the awards set the selection criteria,” she said. “So, some of those had been selected by student panels, some have been selected by faculty and staff. A few of them are selected by a mix of faculty and independent judges.”

Other awards are given automatically for things such as the highest grades in a class, or service to the college or the

community, Doss said.

Award recipients were presented with a certificate, and depending on the award, a monetaryvalue scholarship, Weller said.

The ceremony has been in planning for a year, she said, and is a highly prestigious event within the school. More than 200 guests were expected to attend.

Weller said she knows some of the students who received awards, and was very excited to see them being honored.

“I’m anxious to see them be recognized and be all dressed up in a nice environment, a nice event,” she said. ➤➤check@dailytoreador.com

Tech LULAC hosts young adult summit

By CAROLYN HECK STAFF WRITER

Texas Tech’s League of United Latin American Citizens council 4988 hosted the third annual West Texas Young Adult Summit Saturday at 9 a.m.

The summit is a conference dedicated to addressing issues and topics concerning young Latino and Latina adults to educate and empower them, said Stephanie Acosta, a senior social work major from El Paso, who is on both the Tech LULAC council and the WTYA committee.

“It’s really a conference to bring together, specifically, minorities to have a voice for specific issues relating to immigration to the Texas demographics changing,” she said, “We’re really up to date on the key issues presented each year. It’s really just to bring our voices together and really be empowering, initiating discussions, educating ourselves and everybody else that comes here today.”

Family, friends and colleagues contacted Krupar about the city of Boston’s lockdown, he said.

The summit has grown each year since its inception, Acosta said, reaching this year’s 90-student capacity by noon.

It also has become more widely known, she said, and now includes not only Tech students, but Lubbock community members and people from surrounding universities, including University of Texas and University of North Texas.

“I definitely think it’s very intriguing because events like this aren’t held that bring up these kind of issues,” Acosta said, “being in the city of Lubbock, being in West Texas. There are a lot of conversations and the issues are not commonly discussed in this area, so I think it’s very unique to this community.”

The summit had three workshops, she said, including “Who is an American,” a historical legacy of citizenship with regard to the Mexican community, “Reaching Audiences Through the Hispanic-Oriented Media Market” and “Texas Demographics Changing Destiny.”

Acosta said there also was a presentation by the keynote speaker, Carlos Gallinar, the planning director for El Paso.

Gallinar said he focused his speech on the importance of reaching for success after college graduation and how to handle the expectations placed on a student.

Young Latino and Latina students may find it more difficult than others after graduation, he said, because of their varied backgrounds and socioeconomic placements.

“That doesn’t mean that you don’t keep pushing and trying to find your own niche and trying to find something that you can ultimately work at,” Gallinar said.

“I think that’s a great challenge.”

He said he encourages young Latino and Latina adults to step up and be a leader in their communities despite any difficulties they may face.

“I try to emphasize to them that they need to choose to be leaders,” Gallinar said, “they need to chose to do some great

things in their life for the benefit of others.”

Sindi Sanchez, a senior international economics major from Dallas, attended the summit and said she finds it to be very helpful each year she goes.

“It’s just a way to get more knowledge about what’s going in our community,” she said, “try to empower myself, be able to go out and help others that are around me.”

Sanchez said she encourages other students to attend the summit next year, if only just to educate themselves about the community.

“I hope with the future as more Hispanic, more Latino students come to Tech,” she said, “I think it’s just a way for those students to get more knowledge and to go out there and pursue education, different types of careers, get involved and be advocated in their community, try to move forward the social gap, economic gap, that kind of thing.”

The lockdown was enforced at approximately 6 a.m. EST, Krupar said, and lifted at about 6 p.m.

“It was almost a blessing in disguise to let people come out of their homes and start looking around so that they can find this guy,” he said.

Krupar said he lives about 12 minutes from Watertown, Mass., where bombings suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured.

After the bombings, the shooting at MIT and the capturing of the suspect, Krupar said the town seems

to be in disarray.

“It’s been a really terrible week,” he said, “and I wish we could just restart everything that happened and just start over. It’s been a very, very eventful and sad week.”

human trafficking at the seminar. Sex trafficking is the most publicized form of trafficking, she said, but there also is involuntary servitude and child soldiering.

Some form of force, fraud or coercion is involved in almost every instance of trafficking, she said.

According to estimates, Dawson said somewhere between 20.9 million and 27 million people live in some

form of slavery because of trafficking.

There are more slaves today than at the height of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, she said.

In 2006, 25 percent of all human trafficking victims in the U.S. were in Texas, Dawson said.

“And they are harder to identify because it’s not racially motivated,” she said. “It isn’t a crime where you can look and say ‘they’re working here and this is the race and this must be slavery.’ More often what plays a factor is going to be geography, gender and socioeconomic status.”

Dawson said there are signs to look for in trying to determine if someone has been brought to the U.S. against their will. Some triggers are if the person looks younger than reported, if another person usually accompanies them or if they are not allowed to leave their job.

Christina Sapien-Lezzi, the creator of the Hope and Healing Fund, an organization that provides counseling services for victims of sexual assault, discussed sexual assault at the seminar.

There are 207,754 sexual assaults each year. This does not include the estimated 54 percent that are not reported, she said, and 97 percent of the ones committing the assault never spend a day in jail.

One of the major concerns in her field, Sapien-Lezzi said, is the victims’ reluctance to seek help.

She said much of the problem stems from society’s “rape culture,” which is the perception that sexual assaults are inevitable and it is the victim’s fault because the victim wears revealing clothing, which seems to mislead the one committing the sexual assault.

“It’s just sad to hear that selfblame,” Sapien-Lezzi said. “But again, they get that from what they’ve been told: ‘They should have done something different and if they would have done something different this horrific thing wouldn’t have happened to them.’ Feelings of guilt or shame, they feel dirty and shamed this happened.”

These feelings of shame keep many victims suffering in silence, she said, but that should not be the case.

Deming said Tech provides various services for students who would like counseling, including six free sessions per semester.

“Having people, you know, out and about, being able to see who’s involved in what issue,” Poulsen said. “It kind of brings awareness and more transparency between those populations.”

New Raider Red, Masked Rider assume duties at ceremony

By LIANA SOLIS STAFF WRITER

Thousands of Texas Tech fans have watched as the Midnight Matador rode across the field before football games and Raider Red pumped up the crowd for the game.

The former Raider Red representatives and Masked Rider handed over their guns and reins to their successors in two separate ceremonies Friday in the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center.

The first ceremony revealed the faces behind Tech’s mascot Raider Red and highlighted their accomplishments throughout their years behind the costume.

Juan Munoz, vice provost of undergraduate education and vice president for institutional diverstiy equity and community engagement, was one of the many who spoke at the event and said Raider Red is one of the most recognizable characters for Tech.

“I have literally seen people weep when they received the opportunity to meet Raider Red in real life,” he said. “Families everywhere see this university through the Red Raider mascot.”

The ceremony began with the recognition of the many people and groups who have made Raider Red what he is today.

Jim Gaspard, the 3D creator of the original Raider Red, was recognized during the ceremony and said he never thought his creation would become this big.

“Dirk West was the actual creator of Raider Red, I just made his drawings into a 3D costume,” Gaspard said. “I feel very honored now that Raider Red has become recognizable all over the world.”

For the majority of a student’s time as Raider Red, not very many people know the true identity of

Raider Red. Zach Bohls, a senior public relations major from Austin, and Geoff Waller, a senior history and political science major from Lubbock, were officially revealed as the faces behind Raider Red for the past two to three years.

Travis Seamus, the representative for Saddle Tramps at the ceremony, said that for a long time he didn’t know that his fraternity big brother was the mascot.

“Zach was actually one of the reasons I decided to come to Tech when I first saw him dressed as Raider Red during a visit,” Seamus said. “I just remember him calling me out during games saying I was his little. He has been the best mentor a guy could have.”

Bohls and Waller were given a series of keepsakes during the ceremonies such as scrapbooks of their times as Raider Red, official class rings and official Tech letter jackets.

Bruce Bills, cheer squad and mascot coach, was in charge of the boys through their years as Raider Red and said this was the least they could do for them.

“These boys have been so great throughout the years and we wanted to do something to help them remember their time behind the Raider Red costume,” he said. “I’m really going to miss these guys and all the times we got to spend together at games and appearances. They have really become like little brothers to me throughout the years.”

Bohls and Waller then received the opportunity to speak and talk about their experience as Raider Red, starting with Waller.

“I remember standing behind the walls in the Alumni Center two years ago when the guns were being passed down to me as

one of the new mascots,” Waller said. “All the times I spend in the Raider Red costume have been such unreal experiences.”

Waller was the first-ever student to ride across the Jones AT&T Stadium sitting on the back of a motorcycle, spirit program director, Stephanie Rhode, said.

“I remember getting a call during the bonfire this past year to come to the stadium to try out an idea they had since our horse was injured,” Waller said. “I had no idea that was what they had in store for me though. That was by far my favorite appearance as Red.” Bohls spoke next about his long-time dream of being the Tech mascot and how it became a reality.

“As Geoff said earlier, being Raider Red is an escape for us.

I personally see Red as a real person,” he said. “As dumb as this sounds, he is my best friend.

Even though it feels as though I’m losing him now, having the opportunity to be Red has changed me and made me the person I am today.”

Bohls was the face of Raider Red when the mascot won the Capitol One Mascot Challenge contest and traveled to California and Florida for the contest and recognition, Rhode said.

“The trip was so incredible and of course winning the national championship title for Red was completely unreal,” Bohls said.

“After meeting the other competitors, I just thought ‘There is no way I am winning this.’ So when we won and I got to go to Florida to accept our $20,000 check, I was completely blown away and felt so honored.”

Bohls and Waller gave out awards of their own for all the

Texas church has service in hayfield after explosion WEST (AP) — On the first Sunday after a fertilizer plant explosion leveled part of a tiny Texas town, pastor John Crowder stood atop a long flatbed overlooking a hayfield and spoke to his congregation.

C r o w d e r ’s F i r s t B a p t i s t Church in West remains blocked off as investigators work on the scene of Wednesday’s blast that killed at least 14 people and injured 200. So about 100 people sat in white folding chairs Sunday morning, while others carried their own.

“We have lost our friends and neighbors,” Crowder told the audience. We have lost the safety and comfort of our homes. But as scary as this is, we don’t have to be afraid.”

Authorities have not yet identified what caused the blast, which was so powerful it registered as a small earthquake.

Assistant state fire marshal Kelly Kistner said the blast left “a large crater.”

The explosion destroyed about 50 homes and severely damaged a nursing home and other buildings nearby. Kistner said all fires have been extinguished at the explosion scene and the remaining fertilizer tanks at West Fertilizer Co. are not a danger.

Some of the people who attended Sunday’s outdoor service wore T-shirts calling on others to “pray for West.”

“Every time I close my eyes, all I can think about is the explosion,” said Edi Botello, a senior at West High School. “People running around. People evacuating.

There was one point I couldn’t even talk. I just stuttered.”

The destruction was evident in a short visit to the area organized for reporters.

An apartment building just across the railroad tracks from the plant appeared to bear the brunt of the explosion, according to a pool report. The building’s roof was collapsed, its windows were blown out and chunks of concrete from the plant littered the space between the tracks and the apartments.

“Several blocks we had pro-

jectiles or shrapnel that has been found of different sizes,” Kistner said. “Smaller pieces have been found blocks away.”

The wave radiating from the blast also hit the nursing home across the street from the apartments. There too, windows were blown out, ceiling tiles were visible throughout the rooms and the red brick exterior was cracked.

At West Intermediate School, a northern wall was charred and the southern wall showed structural damage.

Crews from Union Pacific were repairing the railroad tracks, but reporters were kept from climbing the berm to see what was happening at the fertilizer plant.

Above the berm, four heavily damaged metal structures were visible at the plant.

More than 60 people are working in the blast zone for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the state fire marshal’s office.

Kristner said officials have found the seat, or center, of the explosion, “which is important, because as we conduct our investigation we’ll be working from an outer perimeter inward, from the least damaged to the greatest damage. So knowing the seat of that explosion is important.”

Robert Champion, the special agent in charge for ATF’s Dallas office, said experts plan to get

into the crater in the next couple of days and start digging it out “to see what transpired to cause this devastation.”

“It’s a slow process, but we’re getting there,” Champion said.

The town of 2,800 people was previously known in Texas for its deep Czech heritage — from the designs of storefronts in the town center and the names of streets and businesses to the “Czech Stop” bakery selling kolaches and other pastries to drivers exiting Interstate 35.

At the largest Roman Catholic church in town, the Rev. Boniface Onjefu’s congregation on Sunday included firefighters and emergency workers who could be spotted in bright yellow jackets.

The explosion reportedly killed 10 first responders, many of them volunteer firefighters who came after initial reports of a fire at the plant. A memorial service for first responders is scheduled for Thursday on the campus of Baylor University in nearby Waco.

“I stopped at the nursing home,” Onjefu said. “I noticed a lot of people trapped. I assisted.

I prayed with some and held the hands of some that needed comfort. I saw him in the eyes of everyone.”

“God heard our prayers and prevented another tank from exploding.”

TEXAS TECH MASKED Rider Ashley Wenzel passes her mask on to the new 2013-2014 Masked Rider Corey Waggoner, a junior animal science major from Lubbock, during the Transfer of Reins ceremony Friday inside the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center.

people who have helped them throughout their years as Raider Red, such as the Saddle Tramps, the campus life directors, their supervisors and coaches, and their families.

“As much as everyone is going to want to congratulate me for my years as Red, everyone really has to congratulate themselves for putting up with me,” Bohls said.

The ceremony ended with the new Raider Red being brought in as Bohls and Waller handed off their guns to the new mascot.

“This was a big year in general for our mascots,” Rhode said.

“But, we don’t want to forget where we came from.”

Immediately after the mascot ceremony, Ashley Wenzel, a junior education major from

Friendswood, was recognized for her role as the Masked Rider for the past year.

“After coming to orientation my freshman year and taking a picture with the Masked Rider, I knew that I wanted to be in their spot,” Wenzel said. “I never imagined this would happen to me; that I would get the chance to actually be the Masked Rider.”

Before Wenzel spoke, Rhode announced the winner of the Name the Horse contest that would be given to the new horse in the fall.

“Dr. Haggard sent in this name two minutes after we opened up the contest,” Rhode said. “The name of our new horse for the next rider will be the Fearless Champion.”

Wenzel thanked all the people who have helped her the past year including her assistants, the safety crew, her mentors and her parents.

“Ashley has been one of the best riders we have had in a very long time,” former Masked Rider, Christi Chadwell said. “I am very honored that I got to be her mentor and also to call her my friend.”

The ceremony concluded with Wenzel retiring her mask and cape and Corey Waggoner, a junior animal science major from Lubbock, being recognized as the 2013-2014 Masked Rider.

“I am beyond excited and ready for this next year to start,” Waggoner said. “All I can say now is Guns Up and Wreck ‘em Tech.” ➤➤nculver@dailytoreador.com

Movie plots no longer stimulating, overdone Makenna Lange reproduce it.

In 2014, the newest film in the Spider Man franchise will be released, followed by the fifth in about ten years, and second of the newest line of stories.

Sequels also seem to be the theme of the summer. Some of these sequels include “Fast and Furious 6,” “Iron Man 3” and “The Hangover III.” According to the magazine, there will be at least 10 movies released that are considered to be sequels or the latest in a trilogy.

While the original “Hangover” and “Fast and Furious” movies were huge hits and considered new and innovative at the time, the following install-

ments have been nothing but predictable. We can only hope the newest chapters in these franchises are new stories and ideas with our beloved characters.

This is not to say these movies will not be great or will not feature some of the best actors around today.

Brad Pitt’s newest movie, “World War Z,” is following a movie trend by becoming very common and predictable. This trend consists of science fiction type movies where the world is being taken over by some other type of being or life force (aliens,) and humanity will only survive because a group of a select few decide it is their job to put up a fight.

Will Smith also is following in this tired and overdone trend in his newest movie, “After Earth,” which also will be staring his son, Jaden Smith. In the film, the two will play a father and son who live in the future. The duo will crash on another planet

and it will be up to Jaden to save them both.

Writers and studios in Hollywood also have started remaking older movies with popular history. The recently released “Evil Dead” is a remake of the popular 1981 film, and this summer Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer will star in the remake of “The Lone Ranger.”

The original was released in 1949 and is very popular with western movie fans.

These new versions obviously will be compared to the originals, and there will be people who will

refuse to watch them because the originals cannot be beat. While it is easy to understand these films are being revamped to reach a new audience, it also shows there seems to be a lack of creativity in the movie business these days.

Another trend involves a flood of movies made in the last few years making Aesop’s Fables and Disney princess movies into darker or goofier plots. This was shown in each of the 2012 “Snow White” adaptations (“Mirror Mirror” and “Snow White and

was really excited to open my mailbox this afternoon and see this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly, until I saw the cover.

A picture from the upcoming movie “Man of Steel,” which is Hollywood’s newest attempt at rebooting the Superman franchise, is on the cover.

Looking at this cover, all I could think was, “Hollywood must be running out of ideas.”

Entertainment Weekly even agreed with me, saying in this movie “Superman gets all hot and modern.” Hot and modern also was the idea when the last Superman adaptation, “Superman Returns,” was in theaters in 2006.

This is only the newest of a long line of remakes and comic book adaptations. In the last decade, there has been an influx of movies based on comic books, and when one idea seems to have gotten old, writers and studios wait a few years and then

the Huntsman.”) It also has become a popular trend in television, where shows loosely base their plots on stories similar to “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Robin Hood.”

As an avid movie watcher, it isn’t difficult to realize all of the movies being released are starting to sound exactly the same, just in different packaging and with different actors in the same roles. That is not to say I won’t be sucked into seeing these movies while knowing this, especially if it is a franchise I enjoy or one of my favorite actors or actresses filling one of those roles.

However, I do look forward to the day a movie writer comes onto the scene with a fresh, new idea, and takes Hollywood and moviegoers by surprise with a brand new idea.

Greek Life: Students expecting change must speak out first At Dartmouth, we are often told that we will be the leaders of our generation and that the world will soon be ours to change and better.

Yet during our time as students, we find it surprisingly difficult to bring meaningful change to our school.

We complain about rising tuition costs, outrageous meal plans and other issues that put us directly at odds with the administration — a nebulous force for which we voice unrestrained contempt.

While administrators may respond inadequately to such problems, a fairly open dialogue concerning institutional issues does indeed exist between students and faculty.

Yet when it comes to combatting social issues, progress is often stagnant. This is because the blame for the persistence of such issues

cannot be so easily thrust upon the administration, for we, as students, are very much culpable as well.

My government class, while analyzing social movement theory, recently engaged in a simulation of a social movement on campus. The cause we chose to pursue was that of eliminating Greek life.

While I am in no way proposing such an upheaval, the simulation showed me many reasons why our community has failed to make any real attempts at reforming such a flawed system.

Before we could talk about dismantling Greek life, we found it necessary to highlight problems with the current system. We talked about sexual assault, misogyny, overconsumption of alcohol, exclusion of minorities and those of low-income backgrounds, hazing and blatant superficiality.

Honestly, the idea of designing a social system that could adequately

address such complex issues seemed daunting, and it was no surprise that students were reluctant to try.

We were then confronted with the issue of getting students to at least admit that something is wrong with Greek life here at Dartmouth.

The stigma attached to being a “GDI” or even just being somewhat unhappy with our Dartmouth experience makes it extremely difficult for students to be honest about their feelings.

I will openly admit that, despite my participation in the system, I find many aspects of Greek life unsatisfying and even upsetting.

If that alienates me in some way, that is fine. But most students are not willing to risk experiencing this feeling.

The problem of collective action, therefore, proved to be a serious impediment to carrying out our cause. Political science tells us that because individual involvement in

a social movement is unlikely to affect its success and could very well be personally costly, most will deem it easier to simply abstain from participation.

Of course, if no one really participates in a movement, it is almost certainly bound to fail. It then becomes necessary for organizers to establish meaningful incentives for individuals to join their cause.

Yet incentive can be found in the fact that students ultimately risk a crackdown from the administra-

tion by continuing to ignore the problems of the Greek system.

It would be far better for them to actively recognize the faults of Greek life and reshape it for themselves than put the fate of their houses in the hands of administrators.

Collective action, that is, participation by all students in this cause, is absolutely necessary and its challenges can be overcome. And no, it is not enough to leave the initiative for reform to detached and largely

We must begin admitting that we are dissatisfied with the way things are. And telling a couple of your closest friends about how you secretly despise your sorority or fraternity is not sufficient.

The majority of students are far too afraid to openly question the way that things are. If this majority can establish that they are indeed on the same page, then we can hope for a more sweeping, self-aware revitalization of Greek life.

V-day Lubbock marches to Take Back the Night

By NIKKI CULVER STAFF WRITER

Generally, a crowd of people walking down Broadway on a Saturday night would not be a site to stop and see or take pictures of. It would not have a police escort, people would not be chanting and they would not be waving posters. The Take Back the Night event, hosted by the Lubbock V-day Coalition, had all of these things.

“We had the Take Back the Night event,” Colt Meier, a psychology intern at the Student Counseling Center, said.

“This is where we break the silence around sexual assault and we make people more aware of the rape culture and that we have people who are survivors of sexual assault, molestation and rape. Too many times have they been silenced and so here is where we remember them and we break the silence so that we can take back the night for these women and men.”

The night started at the Catholic Student Center, with performances

from the Lubbock V-day Coalition’s earlier events such as “V-men: Steppin’ Up” and “The Vagina Monologues.”

The group, with the assistance of the Lubbock Police Department, then marched down Broadway with posters bearing anti-rape and anti-violence slogans. Once they reached Memorial Circle, participants were invited to join in the speak-out portion of the event.

Individuals spoke about how sexual assault and violence affected their lives, whether through their own experience, or the experience of a loved one.

“It was just a really emotional time,” Marilee Power, a sophomore music education major from El Campo, said.

“It’s one of those things where you can’t really come out without crying. All of the feelings are felt. I think it went really well, though. People found courage in themselves to talk about things that maybe they haven’t been able to talk about before. I think that can be really healing.”

After a candlelight vigil, the group participated in a reflection walk back

to the Catholic Student Center. The evening concluded in a drum circle.

“This is something that I’ve been doing since I started working at Texas Tech,” Michael Iezzi, a counseling psychologist in the Student Counseling Center, said. “The counseling center has always been a part of it. I think it’s a great opportunity for people to get together and stand up against sexual assault and domestic violence. It gives people a chance to speak out and share their own experiences or the experiences of loved ones. I think it also just helps people get together for one common cause.”

The event was attended by 56 students, faculty and community members, all gathered to join arms against sexual assault and domestic violence.

“My favorite part was that not everybody was thinking about it as a sad thing,” Power said. “They found the power within themselves to bring it out and say that we’re going to stop this and that it’s not OK anymore.” ➤➤nculver@dailytoreador.com

Parents of Boston suspect Fans sink into ‘Oblivion’ in $38.2M debut describe his Russia trip MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) — The parents of Tamerlan Tsarnaev insisted Sunday that he came to Dagestan and Chechnya last year to visit relatives and had nothing to do with the militants operating in the volatile part of Russia, with his father saying he slept a lot of the time. But the Boston bombing suspect couldn’t have been immune to the attacks that savaged the region during his six-month stay.

Investigators are now focusing on the trip that Tsarnaev made to Russia in January 2012 that has raised many questions. His father said his son stayed with him in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, where the family lived briefly before moving to the U.S. a decade ago. The father had only recently returned.

“He was here, with me in Makhachkala,” Anzor Tsarnaev told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. “He slept until 3 p.m., and you know, I would ask him: ‘Have you come here to sleep?’ He used to go visiting, here and there. He would go to eat somewhere. Then he would come back and go to bed.”

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and his 19-year-old brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — both ethnic Chechens — are accused of setting off the two bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15 that killed three people and wounded more than 180 others. Three days later, Tamerlan died in a shootout with police, while his brother was later captured alive but wounded.

No evidence has emerged since

to link Tamerlan Tsarnaev to militant groups in Russia’s Caucasus. On Sunday, the Caucasus Emirate, which Russia and the U.S. consider a terrorist organization, denied involvement in the Boston attack.

A woman who works in a small shop opposite Tsarnaev’s apartment building said she only saw his son during the course of one month last summer. She described him as a dandy.

“He dressed in a very refined way,” Madina Abdullaeva said. “His boots were the same color as his clothes.

They were summer boots, light, with little holes punched in the leather.”

Anzor Tsarnaev said they also traveled to neighboring Chechnya.

“He went with me twice, to see my uncles and aunts. I have lots of them,” the father said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Movie fans slipped into “Oblivion” as the Tom Cruise sci-fi thriller led Hollywood with a $38.2 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.

That domestic haul comes on top of $33.7 million “Oblivion” added in overseas markets, where the film began rolling out a week earlier.

“Oblivion” raised its overseas total to $112 million and its worldwide receipts to $150.2 million.

Though many people Friday were caught up in coverage of the manhunt for the suspect in the Boston Marathon explosions, it seems to have had little effect on how the film fared.

“Oblivion” took in $13.3 million on opening day Friday and $14.9 million on Saturday. That 12 percent increase is not unusual for big new releases, which typically do better business on Saturday than Friday.

While Boston was on lockdown much of Friday, that market only accounts for about 1 percent of the nationwide box office, said Nikki

Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, which released “Oblivion.”

The manhunt mainly affected matinee business, with theaters reopening Friday night, when Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was taken into custody.

“Once the guy was arrested, I think people got back into their regular routine,” Rocco said.

The previous weekend’s top film, the Warner Bros. baseball drama “42,” held up well, slipping to second-place with $18 million in its second weekend. The Jackie Robinson biography starring Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford raised its domestic total to $54.1 million and is on its way to the $100 million mark, said Dan Fellman, Warner’s head of distribution.

Overseas, Paramount’s “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” got a lift with $40 million, most of it coming from a $33 million debut in China. The action sequel has topped $200 million internationally and $300 million worldwide.

“Oblivion” came in a bit higher than industry expectations. But de-

spite its strong opening, Hollywood’s 2013 revenue funk continued, with overall domestic receipts at $109 million, down 19.4 percent from the same weekend last year, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.

A year ago, two new romances — the comedy “Think Like a Man” and the drama “The Lucky One” — combined for $56 million that weekend, while the blockbuster “The Hunger Games” remained strong with nearly $15 million.

“Even Tom Cruise was unable to beat the strength of two really strong newcomers that were devoid of stars anywhere near in his league,” said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “That tells you the difference between last year and this year.

Even when we have a good weekend like this in 2013, generally these weekends, they pale by comparison to what happened last year.”

Domestic revenues in 2013 total $2.76 billion, down 11.2 percent from where business was at last year, when Hollywood took in record cash.

London race: Tributes to Boston, extra security LONDON (AP) — The race was in London, but the thoughts of many were with another city.

Thousands of runners who took part in the London Marathon on Sunday paid tribute to those killed and injured in the Boston Marathon six days earlier. Participants paused for a moment of silence in the beginning, many wore black ribbons on their chests as a sign of solidarity, and two runners finished carrying a banner that read “For Boston.”

The mood was festive, defiant — and the surging crowds who turned out on the glorious spring day to line

the route roared enthusiastically.

“It means that runners are stronger than bombers,” said Valerie Bloomfield, a 40-year-old participant from France.

London’s is the first major international marathon since two bombs exploded near the finish line in Boston. The blasts killed three people and wounded 180, and a policeman died during the search for the bombers. One suspect died in a shootout with police, while a second was caught.

Some 35,000 runners took part in the London race, which also drew

tens of thousands of spectators — many regulars said it was the biggest and most enthusiastic crowd in years.

Many said they made a point of turning up to show they were not afraid.

“We can’t look back. We must look forward,” said Tomasz Hamerlak of Poland, who finished fourth in the men’s wheelchair race and who had competed in Boston last week. “The show must go on.”

Authorities in London boosted the police presence by 40 percent and adding extra surveillance as precautionary measures, but in the end all went peacefully.

Paul George’s big game carries Indiana Pacers past Atlanta 107-90 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Paul George insisted a little rest and a new focus would make change everything for the Indiana Pacers.

His made sure that prediction came true Sunday.

Following the best season of his three-year career, George opened the playoffs by producing the first postseason triple double of his career — 23 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists — and led the Pacers out of their lateseason funk and past Atlanta 107-90 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series.

Suddenly, all those problems ailing the Pacers have been forgotten.

“I know what the team will expect from me now,” George said. “But, again, I like the pressure.”

He can expect to be dealing with even more of it in the best-of-seven series.

There were plenty of questions after Indiana coach Frank Vogel gave four of

his starters — George, George Hill, Roy Hibbert and David West — a three-day break this week. The move meant those four came into the opening game without playing a minute since last Sunday’s loss at New York sealed Indiana’s fate as the East’s No. 3 seed.

Outsiders wondered whether those off-days would rejuvenate the Central Division champs, who looked so good from mid-December through early April, or whether would be rusty after stumbling to five losses in their last seven regular-season games.

Those inside the locker room said that the extra rest would be beneficial.

Sunday’s performance left no doubt as fans repeatedly waved the gold towels the Pacers handed out before the game.

While George went 3 of 13 from the field, he made his first 17 free throws tying Reggie Miller’s single-game playoff mark for best percentage. George missed his 18th and final attempt with

2:35 to go.

It was about the only thing that went wrong for the All-Star forward who had Indiana’s first triple double in the playoffs since Mark Jackson on May 13, 1998 against New York.

Indiana also has a 1-0 lead for the first time since beating the New Jersey Nets 90-88 in 2006.

“It was huge for our confidence,” George said. “We got back to playing our style of basketball.”

George had plenty of help, too.

George Hill, who sat out parts of practice Friday and Saturday with an injured left groin, made his first six shots and finished 7 of 10 from the field with three 3-pointers and 18 points.

And Roy Hibbert added 16 points and 11 rebounds on a day the Pacers outrebounded Atlanta 48-32 and limited the Hawks to 14 fast-break points.

Vogel couldn’t have designed a better script.

Women’s tennis falls to Baylor, shares Big 12 title a long task, winning consecutive Big 12 titles.”

The match began with Baylor’s No. 17-ranked doubles team of Ema Burgic and Victoria Kisialeva defeat of No. 15 Samantha Adams and Kenna Kilgo 8-4 in a match that saw seven consecutive breaks of serve.

Alex Leatu and Kiah Generette’s 8-4 win against Tech’s Caroline Starck and Elizabeth Ullathorne gave Baylor a 1-0 lead.

The Texas Tech women’s tennis team lost 4-1 to the Baylor Bears on Sunday, but spirits were still high after the match as Tech celebrated its second consecutive regular season Big 12 Conference championship.

The Lady Raiders, No. 15 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings, will share the title with Baylor as both teams finished Big 12 play with 8-1 records.

“It’s a weird feeling,” Tech coach Todd Petty said. “Obviously you’re disappointed to lose the match, but you’re so excited for these young ladies who are doing something that, at the beginning, seemed like

a little tight, and they really took advantage of it.”

Baylor’s Burgic, ranked No. 10 in the nation, defeated Adams 6-3, 6-1 to open singles play and give the Lady Bears a 2-0 lead.

Sanders responded with a 6-1, 6-2 victory against Leatu to give Tech its first point of the match. Lady Raider Rashmi Teltumbde fell to Jordaan Sanford 4-6, 3-6 to put Baylor up 3-1.

Kilgo lost the first set of her match with Lady Bear Kisialeva 3-6 and was down 4-1 in the second set before winning three straight to tie the match.

Kisialeva responded by converting her second break point in the next game to take a 5-4 advantage. Kisialeva would serve out the match for a 6-3, 6-4 win.

“They’re so good,” Petty said of

Baylor. “They’re so disciplined, and they’re so good at the top of the lineup.”

Starck said the Lady Raiders expected a difficult match from Baylor.

“It was a really intense day,” she said. “We were going in feeling it was going to be tough, they were going to bring it, and they definitely did. I think they played their best tennis today, and we just couldn’t match it.”

The Lady Raiders will head to Norman, Okla., to compete in the Big 12 Championships tournament beginning April 25.

“You can’t really share the tournament title,” Starck said, “so there’s going to be a winner there, so we want that.” ➤➤jlegendre@dailytoreador.com

The women’s tennis team hoists its Big 12 Conference Trophy into the air after its 4-1 loss against Baylor on Sunday at the Don and Ethel McLeod Tennis Center.

Dodgers beat Orioles 7-4 to end 6-game losing streak BALTIMORE (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers got a coveted victory, and it didn’t matter one bit whether they earned it or had it handed to them.

What counted was that their sixgame losing streak was over.

Mark Ellis drove in three runs, and Los Angeles beat erratic Jake Arrieta and the Baltimore Orioles 7-4 Sunday for their first win in over a week.

Matt Kemp singled in the go-

ahead run during a four-run fifth inning, and the Dodgers received a solid performance from their bullpen in the finale of the three-game interleague series.

Making his fourth start of the season, Arrieta (1-1) allowed only two singles in four-plus innings. But he walked five — three of whom scored — and hit a batter, who also came home.

“I really feel like the Dodgers

didn’t beat us today. I beat us,” Arrieta said. “I put us in a tough situation, not giving up many hits at all, just making their job a lot easier by putting them on base for free. It’s unacceptable.”

Adam Jones homered and Chris Davis had three hits for the Orioles, who blew an early 4-1 lead.

Los Angeles starter Stephen Fife, recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque before the game as an emergency replacement for Chad Billingsley, gave

up three runs in the first inning. But he ended up outlasting Arrieta, who couldn’t get an out in the fifth.

“To just put them on free, when they’re not having to work for it, is not good. It’s really not,” Arrieta said.

It was great for the Dodgers, however, who were delighted to end their longest losing streak since a sevengame run last June.

“Any win is big for us at the moment,” Kemp said.

Manager Don Mattingly added, “It was obviously something that we needed. We talk about trying to get that rock rolling the other direction.

It’s got to start somewhere. That’s a good start for us today.”

After a day off Monday, Los Angeles will seek to build on that victory in New York against the Mets on Monday.

“You may look back in a week and say this is a big game if we start to put

some (wins) together,” Mattingly said.

“If we go into New York and don’t play well then you don’t look at it as anything. It’s really going to be up to us.”

Before the game, the Dodgers put Billingsley on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow soreness and recalled Fife. Billingsley, who finished last season on the DL with soreness in the same elbow, will return to Los Angeles on Tuesday for further medical evaluation.

Reynolds’ homer gives Cleveland Indians 5-4 win against Houston Astros HOUSTON (AP) — Mark Reynolds’ seventh homer of the season put Cleveland on top in the seventh inning and the Indians held on for a 5-4 win over the Houston Astros on Sunday.

The home run by Reynolds, who also homered in Cleveland’s 19-6 win Saturday, was one of four solo homers for the Indians, who took two of three in the series.

Carlos Santana, Drew Stubbs and Yan Gomes also added home runs for the Indians.

The game was tied at 4 in the seventh inning before the two-out full-count homer to leftcenter by Reynolds off Hector Ambriz (0-1). Fernando Martinez hit a two-run homer in the first

inning for Houston in his 2013 debut.

Cody Allen (1-0) got the final out of the sixth and Chris Perez pitched a scoreless ninth for his second save in three opportunities.

The Astros had a great opportunity in the ninth when Rick Ankiel led off with a first-pitch double to center field before Perez plunked Matt Dominguez on the elbow. He was replaced by pinch runner Brandon Barnes.

A sacrifice bunt by Marwin Gonzalez advanced the runners before Cleveland intentionally walked Jose Altuve to load the bases. But Perez worked out of the jam by striking out Chris Carter

before Jason Castro grounded out to end the game.

The Astros hit back-to-back singles off Joe Smith with no outs in the seventh, but he retired the next three batters to end the threat.

Altuve drew a leadoff walk before Martinez, who came off the disabled list on Saturday, connected on his first pitch of the season for a solo homer that made it 2-0 in the first inning. The shot broke a streak of 14 2-3 scoreless innings against the Astros for Indians starter Ubaldo Jimenez.

Castro singled before Stubbs made a nifty over-the-shoulder catch while sprinting near the wall right-center and the Indi-

ans made it a double play when Castro couldn’t beat the throw back to first.

Gomes got Cleveland within 2-1 in the second with his solo homer off Houston starter Erik Bedard which bounced high on the wall above the Crawford Boxes in left field. Gomes added a triple in the fourth.

Santana doubled with one out in the third before a two-out walk by Reynolds. Ryan Raburn tied it at 2-2 when his RBI single rolled just out of reach of a diving Altuve and into the outfield.

Brett Oberholtzer made his major league debut when he replaced Bedard for the fifth inning. Santana led off that inning

with a homer to left field to put Cleveland up 3-2.

Stubbs added his first home run of the season off Oberholtzer with one out in the sixth inning to push the lead to 4-2. It sailed just out of reach of a leaping Ankiel and hit a tub of popcorn of a fan in the front row in right field, sending popcorn raining down on Ankiel.

Jimenez retired the next 13 batters after the double play in the first inning. Houston didn’t get another baserunner until Marwin Gonzalez singled to start Houston’s sixth. Altuve followed with a triple which bounced off the right fielder Raburn’s glove just short of the wall in right field

to cut the lead to 4-3 and chase Jimenez.

He was replaced by Nick Hagadone before pinch hitter Carter tied it with a sacrifice fly to right field.

Hagadone issued consecutive one-out walks and was replaced

by Allen who retired Justin Maxwell to limit the damage.

Jimenez yielded four hits and four runs in five-plus innings. He has allowed 18 runs in his last three starts.

Bedard allowed six hits and two runs with a season-high eight strikeouts in four innings. It was his first start since allowed six runs in 1-3 inning of an 11-2 loss at Oakland.

Weekend recap: Tech avoids sweep with Sunday win

By ZACH DISCHIANO SPORTS EDITOR

After losing seven consecutive games coming into this weekend’s series against Kansas, the Red Raiders added two more losses to their streak before finally picking up a win Sunday.

“You’re just ecstatic for the guys,” Texas Tech coach Tim Tadlock said, “’cause, you know, they’ve been going at it in the cages, and in practice, and you kind of see some confidence come back for them, it’s really good to see.”

Prior to Sunday’s win, Tech hosted Kansas on Friday evening. Despite leading for the majority of the game, the Red Raiders ultimately fell to the Jayhawks, 4-3.

Junior pitcher Jonny Drozd got the start for the Red Raiders and immediately began piling up the strikeouts early, getting two consecutive batters to go down looking in the first inning.

Kansas senior pitcher Thomas Taylor responded with two strikeouts of his own, and both teams went into the second inning scoreless.

Drozd carried his strong pitching into the second inning, gunning down two more Jayhawks and denying Kansas any base runners. Taylor again responded, retiring three Tech batters consecutively to keep the game scoreless.

It took eight pitches for Drozd to retire all three Kansas batters during the top of the third inning, keeping the Jayhawks without a run.

“He was outstanding,” Tadlock said.

“I mean, he mixed all of his pitches and commanded the fastball and gave us six strong, really.”

The Red Raiders were able to get going offensively with a single from sophomore outfielder Brett Bell, who then advanced to second on his Big 12 Conference-leading 24th stolen base of the season. Junior third baseman Jake Barrios then sent a line drive out to right field for a two out RBI-single.

Kansas’ hitters continued to struggle against Drozd, who retired 14 consecutive batters up until Jayhawk catcher Ka’iana Eldredge connected on an infield single during the sixth inning.

The Jayhawks connected on three more hits, including an RBI single from second basemen Justin Protacio to tie the game at one. Drozd managed to get out of the inning without allowing any more runs, keeping the score tied at one.

“There’s a few pitches that I wish I could take back, going back to the game,” Drozd said. “But it’s baseball, so it was pretty good.”

The Red Raiders also dropped the second game of the series, scoring one run to Kansas’ six.

The Jayhawks cracked the scoreboard first during the second inning of the game, bringing a runner home after Eldredge sent a line drive through the gap for an RBI double.

The Red Raiders responded in the bottom of the second inning with an RBI double of their own, this one from sophomore second baseman Bryant Burleson. Kansas sophomore pitcher Wes Benjamin prevented any other runners from crossing the plate during the inning, and the game remained tied, 1-1.

After the second, the two starting pitchers exchanged scoreless innings up until Tadlock pulled junior pitcher Trey Masek in the seventh.

“It was a good time to go the bullpen because we’re at the bottom of the order,” Tadlock said. “Thought Andre (Wheeler) could handle those three guys and then give it to somebody else and piece it together from there.”

The Red Raiders used three different pitchers during the seventh, and surrendered five runs in the process.

Veteran pitchers Andre Wheeler and Jerad McCrummen allowed all five runs to score, something Tadlock said he was not expecting.

“I think the deal with Andre is it’s back-to-back days,” Tadlock said.

“With Jerad, I mean, you’re right. You’re exactly right. He struggled, I think the last three or four times we’ve handed him the ball, he’s got the loss.”

With two outs, Protacio grounded to sophomore shortstop Tim Proudfoot, who threw the ball over the head of first baseman Eric Gutierrez. The error scored a run and the Jayhawks extended

its lead to 4-2, before Kevin Kuntz lined out to end the top half of the seventh inning.

“We could’ve bailed him out pretty easy,” Tadlock said about Drozd. “Make a couple plays, and bail me out, bail him out, whoever you want to bail out.”

The Red Raiders did not come up with anything offensively to counter the Jayhawks’ big inning, and entering the eighth inning, Tech remained down two runs.

“We try to stay out of the big innings, but it’s the big innings that get us,” Drozd said. “I was trying to minimize the damage, but just after a blow like that, it was hard to come back from.”

During the ninth inning, Tech sophomore catcher Elliot Richoux grounded one right back at the pitcher

and beat out a recovery throw from the second baseman for a two-out single.

Bell could not come up with a hit as he grounded out to first to end the game.

“We were in the mix of that game, you know, until the very end,” Barrios said. “A few things would have changed, we would have won the game, but we’re just staying positive.”

The Red Raiders played well enough to avoid the sweep Sunday, relying on their bats to lead them to victory.

Both teams produced plenty of offense early in the game, piling up a combined 13 runs on 17 hits through the fourth inning of play. Kansas jumped out to an early 3-0 lead during the first, but Tech responded in the second with four runs to take its first lead of the game.

The Jayhawks regained their edge

during the third inning with a pair of runs to put Kansas in front, 5-4. Again, the Red Raiders responded, picking up one run to tie the game at 5-5.

Tech continued its success at the plate during the fourth inning, piling up three more runs to give the Red Raiders an 8-5 advantage. Tech added four insurance runs during the sixth and seventh innings to extend its lead to 12-5 heading into the top of the ninth.

“Feels good to get going, finally,” freshman designated hitter Jarrard Poteete said. “Collectively, I think everybody kind of broke through today, kind of got some hits, did some things they haven’t been doing recently, so it’s a huge relief for sure.”

Proudfoot ended the game with authority, driving one out of the ballpark with the bases loaded for a grand slam.

The game ended at 16-5 because of the 10-run rule, and Tech earned its first victory since March 31.

Freshman pitcher Johnathon Tripp earned the first win of his career at Tech, pitching five scoreless innings to seal the victory for the Red Raiders.

“It’s good to get a win,” he said.

“Maybe that’ll get us some momentum going, get more confidence and that’ll definitely help us carry on in the future.”

Tech will take on the New Mexico State Aggies at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Rip Griffin Park in hopes of initiating a new winning streak.

“They’re going to come in here,” Tadlock said. “They’ll be ready to play, and we’re looking forward to competing against them.” ➤➤zdischiano@dailytoreador.com

Red Raiders top Jayhawks behind season-high 18 hits LA VIDA EDITOR

The Red Raiders reached a season-high 18 hits Sunday afternoon as they took the 16-5 win against the Kansas Jayhawks in the bottom of the eighth inning because of the 10-run rule.

The game ended with a walk-off grand slam from

s o p h o m o r e s h o r t s t o p Ti m Proudfoot.

Texas Tech coach Tim Tadlock said the win feels better than losing.

Breaking its nine-game losing streak, Tech’s offense finally came through and put some runs on the scoreboard.

Tech freshman designated hitter Jarrard Poteete said the team’s frustration was relieved

“It’s baseball,” he said. “You go out every day and you take the same approach, or you try to at least, and hitting’s contagious. You hear that a lot, so we’ve saw a couple of guys get going and then more guys got going and it was kind of a group thing.”

Te c h f r e s h m a n p i t c h e r Johnathon Tripp also said the hitting was contagious.

“It was great,” he said about Tech’s hitting. “Just sitting back there and seeing that they’re seeing the ball well, and hitting, and hitting is contagious, so it was very contagious today, so maybe that will string some hits together in the future and just continue what we had going today.” ➤➤pskinner@dailytoreador.com

The bottom of the second inning is when Tech made enough contact to generate four runs. Singles from Poteete, second baseman Bryant Burleson, first baseman Eric Gutierrez, catcher Elliot Richoux, Bell and center fielder Devon Conley, as well as a sacrifice fly from Proudfoot led to seeing Tech’s entire lineup in one inning .

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker scored 18 points each as the San Antonio Spurs led from early in the first quarter and beat the Los Angeles Lakers 91-79 on Sunday in Game 1 of their Western Conference first-round series.

Tim Duncan added 17 points and 10 rebounds, Matt Bonner had 10 points and Kawhi Leonard had eight points and 11 rebounds for San Antonio.

Dwight Howard had 20 points and 15 rebounds, Steve Nash scored 16 points and Pau Gasol added 16 points and 16 rebounds for Los Angeles.

Despite the double-doubles from Howard and Gasol, the Lakers failed to take full advantage of their inside presence, much to the consternation of the injured Kobe Bryant, who watched the national broadcast.

“Post. Post. Post,” Bryant tweeted in reference to the Lakers’ offense.

Bryant is out for the remainder of the season with a torn Achilles.

Los Angeles’ length caused San Antonio problems early as the Spurs missed their first three shots — all inside the paint — as they altered their shots to avoid Howard and Gasol.

Nash, who returned after missing nine games with a hip/hamstring injury, gave the Lakers their only lead with a jumper on the game’s opening possession.

Duncan broke the drought, hitting a pair of jumpers over Gasol that gave San Antonio a 4-2 lead with 9:33 remaining and the Spurs led the rest of the way.

The Lakers shot 35 percent from the field in the first half, primarily missing shots from 11 feet and out. Los Angeles had 10 points in the paint, but could not consistently work the ball inside for attempts.

“What I would say if I was there right now,” Bryant tweeted. “Pau get ur (butt) on the block and don’t move till u get it.”

Los Angeles pulled within 28-24 with 7 minutes left as Howard had four points in an 8-0 run, including an alley-oop dunk off a feed from Gasol to cap the run.

It was the closest Los Angeles would come as San Antonio extended its lead to 10 points in the quarter.

The Lakers shot 50 percent from the field in the second quarter, but also had seven turnovers.
