Texas Tech professor receives grant for research Eric Bruning, an assistant professor at Texas Tech, received a five-year $738,000 CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study the behavior of electrical energy inside a storm cloud, according to a Tech news release.

Bruning will use the grant to explain how the turbulent texture of the wind in the storm relates to the texture of the lightning inside the cloud, according to the release.

Bruning is currently studying the West Texas Lightning Mapping Array, according to the release. The WTLMA consists of 10 instrumentation platforms located in various locations throughout Lubbock County to triangulate lightning.

Tina Fuentes, a professor in the School of Art, will assist Bruning in artistically explaining the idea of texture in storm clouds and wind. ➤➤dgaytan@dailytoreador.com

Hospitality services brings recycling awareness to campus

By HANNAH HIPP staff writer

It is no secret college students love to receive free objects.

Texas Tech Hospitality Services used this to its advantage this week in their efforts to promote recycling among students.

“The whole goal is to encourage recycling,” Alan Cushman, a unit manager for hospitality services, said. “We want to show campus partnerships between hospitality services,

This event is strongly supported by the hospitality department, Cushman said, and is designed to promote awareness.

Rachel Zajac, a sophomore accounting major from Dallas, brought five bottles to be recycled.

“I just had them laying around,” Zajac said, “so this was a good opportunity to recycle them. Otherwise, I probably would have just put them in the trash.”

Zajac wanted a free T-shirt, she said, and was glad they were being given out for a good cause.

Cushman and other hospitality services representatives were set up in the Free Speech Area from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Wednesday, handing out free T-shirts, cups and other various items to students who brought at least two plastic bottles to be recycled.

This is the fourth or fifth year the event has taken place, Cushman said.

“We do it as a part of the events leading into Arbor Day,” he said. “The big idea is we do a lot of recycling behind the scenes that students aren’t really aware of.”

The Texas Tech Southwest Collections and Special Collections library hosted a reception Wednesday for the opening of its exhibit commemorating the 35th anniversary of the 1979 Tractorcade.

Tractorcade was a string of protests organized by the American Agricultural Movement in which U.S. farmers drove their tractors to Washington D.C. to protest for parity, according to a Tech news release.

Curtis Peoples, Tech associate archivist, spoke about the importance of the Tractorcade protests.

“I think this was the last agricultural movement,” he said. “There will never be anything like this again, people driving their tractors to D.C.” At the reception, the online archives of the Tech library covered the AAM. The archives include news clips, newspapers and

photographs of the AAM. Congressman Randy Neugebauer spoke about the influence the AAM had on current farmers in the U.S. “I would tell you the agricultural movement isn’t dead, that wasn’t a one shot deal,” he said. “It’s still alive in America.

It’s just different.”

Neugebauer said it is of great importance when someone concerned with an issue takes the initiative to speak with a U.S lawmaker.

“There is no greater advocacy when your constituents come all the way to Washington D.C. to talk to you about an issue,” he said. “It says to that member of Congress or that senator ‘this issue is important for me.’”

Tech System Chancellor Kent Hance spoke about his memories regarding the protests farmers organized in order to present their need for parity.

House of Representatives announces budget cuts

By KAITLIN BAIN Staff Writer

The United States has faced two fiscal cliffs in the past several years, but House of Representatives Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan has proposed a plan to cut $5.1 trillion in spending from the current budget, Daehee Bak, assistant professor of political science, said.

These cuts will take place ove r t h e ne x t 1 0 y e a r s , he said, and will heavily affect social programs.

“There will not actually be

any cut in the area of defense and military spending,” Bak said, “but actually increase annual defense spending. This is an indication that the GOP prioritizes defense and national security over other welfare programs that Obama has focused on.”

Although the plan does not directly cut defense spending, there is uncertainty in the area of military spending, according to an Associated Press article, and military officers say the instability will hurt U.S. forces’ ability to respond to crises.

The main threats are the

forces in Korea and China that seem to be multiplying instead of decreasing, Samuel Locklear, Pacific commander, said in the article.

“This ultimately reduces our readiness, our ability to respond to crisis and contingency, as well as degrade our ability to reliably interact with our allies and partners in the region,” he said.

“North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is less predictable than his predecessor and poses a greater threat, and we’re giving China the ability to influence the outcome of events around many of

our partners and allies.”

Aside from the uncertainty the military may be facing, Aman Khan, professor of public budgeting and finance, said there are may different programs being affected at home, such as food stamps, Pell Grants, Child Tax Credit, Supplemental Security Income, farm subsidies, nutritional programs and large cuts from Obamacare and Medicaid.

While it seems that budget cuts should have some affect on the deficit, he said, the cuts would most likely not reduce the deficit at the current expected amount.

Tech hosts debate in policy roundtable about Ukraine

As the crisis in Ukraine continues to evolve, Texas Tech hosted a panel of experts to weigh in on the issue.

The political science department introduced Frank Thames, Colonel Dave Lewis and Alan Barenberg to add political, military and historical perspective to the roundtable.

Lisa Gittner, an assistant professor in the department of political science, organized the panel discussion.

“Each speaker will be given some questions about what the United States’ options are from their perspective,” she said. “Then we are going to ask them to talk to each other about whether these options are compatible with their perspectives.”

The goal of the roundtable is to bring clarity to the future of the United States, she said.

“Depending on what happens, it could really change the United States,” Gittner said. “The draft could come back into play and we don’t have the forces to be able to handle another conflict.”

According to the policy roundtable flier, America’s inaction in Syria allowed Russia to gain strength in the Middle East and has paved the way for the excusable, inhumane behavior of leaders such as Bashar al-Assad.

Todd Mistrot, a public administration graduate student, said he also helped organize the roundtable.

“We are looking at what our military options are and what the implications would be if we put more sanctions on Russia as far as freezing all of their assets oversees,” Mistrot said.

No matter the positive or negative changes that may follow this plan, the outcomes will not be evident soon because there is not yet a deadline for the decision, he said.

“There are some interesting aspects of this plan worth noting though,” Khan said. “The plan will simplify the (tax) rate structure for individual income and lower the top corporate rate to 25 percent.

members, primarily undergraduates, to explore the interdisciplinary field of book history, according to the club’s website.

Students are encouraged to join if they enjoy books, reading or learning the history behind different pieces of literature.

Joya Mannan, communications officer for the club, said the interesting thing about the club is that students from all disciplines and fields of study can join.

“Even though we are here in the English building, any student can join,” she said. “Students that maybe don’t like the actual book part of

the club can still find something enjoyable through the history of the books.”

Funds raised from the book drive will go to support Books for Africa and the Book History Club, in order for the club to host informational events for the student body.

All types of books are accepted for donation. The only requirements are that the book have no significant damage to the spine or cover and be free of water spots, missing pages or substantially marked pages.

Rukavina said the book drive has already seen a good amount of books donated, but she is hop-

ing to see more, as well as begin holding campus-wide book drives in the future.

“We have already seen about six boxes of books donated,” she said. “We are hoping to get a good amount to send off. Next year, we want to maybe host a campus-wide drive and make it more accessible to students with more donation locations.”

Donation boxes for the books are located in the English building inside the main entrance on the first floor and outside the elevator in the second floor west wing.

about the AAM. “It is understandable that collecting the history of agriculture is of great importance for research purposes,” he said. “With various donations that comprise this important ag movement archive, we will inform students and researchers long after we’ve gone to the happy hunting ground.”

Peoples said he encouraged the public to see the exhibit.

“We hope if you’re interested in agricultural research and its history, come see us here,” he said.

“If you can’t, start looking at some stuff online.”

The exhibit includes photos, memorabilia, belt buckles, patches, hats and other items of the AAM, according to a Tech release.

The exhibit will be on display until June 15.

HOSA hosts bone marrow registration drive

By AMY CUNNINGHAM Staff Writer

Members of the Health Occupations Students of America aimed to end blood cancer Wednesday outside of the Student Union building by registering students, staff and faculty as potential bone marrow donors.

HOSA, which hosted the donor drive from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., wants to increase the number of registered donors in the system, Michaela McCay, a sophomore biology major

from Plano, said. By registering as a possible donor, people can potentially save the lives of patients with blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma.

“There are so many people in the database who need a donor,” McCay said, “but there aren’t as many registered. It’s really simple to donate. You just fill out a form, swab your own cheeks, then we give you a card and it’s mailed to Delete Blood Cancer.”

Delete Blood Center DKMS is the largest bone marrow donor

center in the world, according to the organization’s website, and is a part of the National Marrow Donor Program.

There is a one percent chance of being selected as a donor, McCay said.

“Only four out of 10 people with blood cancer actually find a match,” Josie Burke, a freshman psychology major from Allen, said. “It’s important for us to help make the database bigger because the requirements are very specific to donate.”

Donors are in the registry until they are 61 years old, McCay said.

Although the chances of matching to a patient are slim, she said a donor might need to donate blood or undergo surgery.

In 75 percent of cases, a patient only needs to donate blood in order for stem cells to be filtered and taken, according to Delete Blood Cancer’s website.

If a patient is a child, which happens in 25 percent of cases, an outpatient surgical procedure may occur. During the surgery, liquid

marrow is extracted from the patient’s back, according to the website, which takes one to two hours.

“If you were on the other end of this and were on the list, you’d wish more people were in the database,” Chelsea Boaz, a registered donor and sophomore pre-nursing major from Saledo, said. “If someone out there could save your life but wasn’t on the list, you could die.”

In order to be eligible to donate, a donor must be between the ages of 18 and 55, be generally healthy, be at least 4 feet 10 inches and weigh

at least 110 pounds, according to Delete Blood Cancer’s website.

Additionally, individuals are ineligible if they have diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C, according to the website, and if they have a history of heart disease or cancer, among other conditions.

“It’s just like registering as an organ donor on your license,” Leigh Drabing, a junior psychology major from Kingwood, said. “It’s for a great cause and you could save a life.” ➤➤acunningham@dailytoreador.com

New IMMAP Institute provides research project assistance

By KAYLIN MCDERMETT Staff Writer

Texas Tech recently introduced a new institute called IMMAP, which stands for the Institute for Measurement, Methodology, Analysis and Policy, which is aimed at advancing different research projects across various departments.

Mohja Jerbi, an assistant for the new program, said the program falls under the College of Education but is a campus-wide program.

“This is the first year of IMMAP being here,” she said. “We are a part of the College of Education, but we really work in many different departments.”

The IMMAP program is dedicated to the training of undergraduate and graduate students in new,

state-of-the-art methodology and data analysis practices, according to the institution’s website.

Todd Little, director of the program, said the goal of IMMAP is to serve those performing research in the social and behavioral sciences and help form a testable, accurate research project.

“Our mission here at the university is to serve all of the behavioral and social science researchers to essentially provide the best practice support for the methodologies they use, like statistics, the designs, the studies, all of the nuts and bolts that make a research question answerable.”

Researchers from every department at Tech are able to seek help through the IMMAP program, but the main goal is to aid those

conducting research through social sciences. These include nursing, medicine, psychology and various other fields of study in arts and sciences and education.

Little said when it comes to researching the behavioral sciences, it takes a large amount of effort and study to provide accurate research.

“The problems that we’re trying to tackle are not necessarily concrete things to look at,” he said. “I can’t look inside your head and put a probe down in there and measure 100 percent exactly how fast that the currents are.

I’m asking you questions about maybe how depressed you are or how outgoing you are. Then I take a group of five or six hundred of people like you, and I try to form a valid research statement.”

Some Harris County feral hogs donated to food banks HOUSTON (AP) — Propertydestroying feral hogs being trapped near two reservoirs will be butchered and the meat donated to food banks.

Harris County Commissioners on Tuesday approved a one-year, $217,600 contract with J&J Packing Co. The contract takes effect in May and involves a processing facility in Brookshire, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Commissioners also approved the purchase of metal panels to complete four traps to be erected near the Barker and Addicks reservoirs in west Harris County.

Commissioner Steve Radack’s longstanding plan to eliminate, or at least sharply reduce, the feral hog population comes as part of a federal grant.

“This is the beginning of (the) Harris County hog program in earnest,” Radack said. “As meat prices go up, we’ll be giving it away.”

Radack’s precinct last year won a $630,000 grant to pay for a study assessing whether hog removal improves water quality, as well as to purchase four metal traps and fund the slaughter and processing of 2,500 pigs.

Radack’s office has an agreement with the Houston Food Bank to receive and distribute the meat.

Brian Mesenbrink, a wildlife disease biologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture branch, says the agency is “not against any legal method when it comes to controlling feral hogs.”

The trap-and-process concept — “tried in small little operations here and there” — has proved short-lived in other places, mainly because of the cost, according to Mesenbrink. “It’s actually very expensive,” Mesenbrink said, noting that “you don’t get to pick which ones go to market.”

Feral hogs can carry quite a few

diseases and even federal inspectors do not examine every piece of meat, Mesenbrink said.

“It’s like Russian roulette,” he said. “It’s great publicity while it works, but the minute something goes wrong, the minute somebody gets sick, there’s going to be all hell to pay. No one thinks about that going into it. They just see the fuzzy and warm side of it.”

Radack dismissed the disease concern, saying hunting and eating feral hog is far from uncommon. He believes the precinct will be able to secure additional grant money to continue it or people will “donate to the cause” once they see the effectiveness of the program.

Another goal of the IMMAP program is to provide funding and new technologies to those conducting research in order to keep up with the growing universitylevel research facilities around the country.

“One thing we do to provide funding is we accept research ideas from faculty at other universities,” he said. “We work with them, and in turn, receive part of the funding they are receiving. This, in turn, can go toward Texas Tech to provide other students with great things. Here at Tech, we work with researchers who are already being funded, or are in the process of being funded. We help them form a valid research idea to study and test.”

The IMMAP program is also of-

fering an event called Stats Camp, which will take place during a two-week period in June in Kansas.

Stats Camp is aimed at familiarizing researchers and students with new statistics methodologies and analysis possibilities.

Little said the camp was founded to help students and researchers gain access to information they may not have had access to before.

“Part of our educational outreach is the Stats Camp,” he said.

“Stats Camp was founded with knowledge that there are faculty and students who are not getting access to classes on these cutting edge techniques.”

Students and faculty researchers participate in classes aimed to help them learn new information in the field of statistics and analysis, and

anyone interested in the classes may attend.

Little said the program is also looking to begin offering courses for an undergraduate minor degree in methodology and research analysis.

“One thing I hope to see for IMMAP is to introduce a minor graduate degree,” he said. “Students from different disciplines can take classes they are interested in and gain knowledge about conducting research. Then they can intern with us and get hands on experience with the investigators working on research. When students did this while I was at Kansas, each one of them got into the graduate school of their choice because they know how to do upper level, graduate research already. ➤➤kmcdermett@dailytoreador.com

Donations dictate political campaigns

By TAYLOR FINN

iowa sTaTe Daily (iowa sTaTe U.)

April 2 of this year was a big day. Unnoticed by many — and hardly covered by the national media — the Supreme Court ruled that limiting donations to political candidates was unconstitutional, because it denied an individual the right to free speech.

Up until now, congress placed limits on the amount of money individuals could donate to a particular politician’s campaign.

They did this in hopes to prevent American policy makers from being bought off by the fortunate few.

What the Supreme Courts ruling did was remove those limits.

If you are a middle class individual who uses income to buy food and put a roof over your head, and simply do not have an extra 100,000 dollars lying around somewhere to donate, you should be concerned.

More so if you are a broke college student, with hardly enough money to buy food and put a roof over your head, then you should be worried about this ruling.

What the court has done is further silence our voices. How is the middle class supposed to compete with extremely deep pocketed individuals donating to these campaigns?

The wealthy donate to politicians most often not because they think the candidate can create a positive change for America as a whole, but because they believe their donation will buy them the candidates ear, and therefore the ability to further their personal endeavors.

With large donations comes a great amount of persuasion and power. Let’s face it, a presidential candidate will sit down to lunch with the a wealthy business owner

before they sit down with a teacher, janitor or student.

Not because a candidate would not value a teacher’s opinions or care about a student’s thoughts, but because they know that a conversation with the owner of an oil company will result in donations.

Whereas a conversation with a middle class individual will result in good input and ideas, but probably much less money. And everyone knows that in the end, money is what drives decisions, shapes policies and establishes opinions.

I am fearful for what this ruling means. If the lower and the middle class cannot get their voices heard or their opinions noted by policy makers where does that leave us?

The simple answer is that it leaves us at the mercy of the wealthy and the powerful, and that does not sound like much of a democracy to me.

There is most definitely a need for reform when it comes to the election process. However, I am extremely doubtful that the change we need is to pump more money into elections, allowing big business to be even more persuasive.

The April 2 ruling will further the disconnect between the average American citizen and the government. The government was designed to represent all citizens rather than the individuals represented by the American government.

If we continue down this path we will no longer be the entire public, but rather the select few that can buy time with policy makers and push for the change they want instead of the change that is best for the population as a whole.

I do not doubt that from a legal standpoint the Supreme Court made the decision they thought was best, however the repercussions this one ruling will have could be quite detrimental for the American democracy.

together to make sure that nothing like this happens again.

Read the story of Immaculée Ilibagiza, a teenage Tutsi when the genocide in her home country began. Her father told her to escape to a family friend, a local Hutu who was their pastor for as long as Ilibagiza could remember.

To survive, Ilibagiza hid in a 3-foot by 4-foot bathroom along with six other women. For 91 days, these women stoo d in complete silence. They couldn’t even talk for fear that the family of the pastor would turn them in to the Hutu soldiers. Ilibagiza heard the voices of soldiers looking for them, even her childhood neighbor who told

“

her that he “had killed 399 cockroaches” and that he wanted her to be “the 400th cockroach I killed.”

Cockroaches are what the Hutus called the Tutsis.

Listening to the stories from the heartbreaking tragedies is eye opening. Imagine stepping outside your house and seeing a neighbor being slaughtered by a machete.

Sometimes, especially in an instance like the Rwandan genocide, the truth, like Ilibagiza‘s story, is hard to fathom. It is the truth, though, that must motivate us to see to it that this never happens again.

It is crazy to think that in this day and age, the massacre of hundreds of thousands of innocent

It is crazy to think that in this day and age, the massacre of hundreds of thousands of innocent people could be so easily executed.

“

I

t’s a legendary idea first presented by George Santayana, that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

In the spring of 1994, exactly 20 years ago, during the course of 100 gruesome days, more than 1 million Rwandan citizens were slaughtered for the sake of an attempted genocide.

On April 6, 1994, a plane carrying the president of Rwanda was shot down. Shortly after, the radios across Rwanda were proclaiming the beginning of a revolution and began asking the people, “The graves are ready but they are empty, who will help us fill them up?”

There has always been tension between the Tutsi and the Hutu tribes in Africa. To most people, including Rwandans, it is impossible to visually tell the difference between these two groups. It is, however, the difference between the two that led the Hutu people to accomplish a three-month escapade killing every single Tutsi they could.

It didn’t matter if it was a naive toddler or a grandmother sitting in her

people could be so easily executed.

The truth is bone chilling. As one group of people tried to erase the existence of another group of people off the face of the earth, millions of people stood by their televisions and watched a modern-day genocide unfold.

As young people, the future military, business and government leaders, we should not turn a blind eye to historical events that have caused such amounts of global pain and agony.

Since the genocide in Rwanda, developments have been made. According to the Cornell Chronicle, it is because of the atrocities 20 years ago that we now have an International Criminal Court. Furthermore, government and private groups have been established to make sure no group of people can get away with something as severe as what happened in Rwanda.

Besides groups committed to stopping the murder of innocent people, the best prevention to stopping something like this is early warning. That starts with people like you and me. We have

a responsibility to make sure that every single person, whether they are our next-door neighbor or ally thousands of miles away, have access to basic human rights.

I hope you all take to heart that we have to learn from history and work to make sure we don’t ever repeat the mistakes we have made. Look around and consider countries such as Russia, Egypt, Ukraine, Israel, Syria and dozens others. It seems as if every year there are always multiple stories emerging about one government or group of people infringing on the rights of another. Caution must be taken when any group threatens or disregards individual rights.

The past is troubling and the modern-day genocide in Rwanda will always be a scar on human history. However, if there is one thing to learn from what happened 20 years ago, it is that we don’t need genocide to occur for us to find new ways to prevent it.

Every body type should be accepted for fashion

By KELSEY CUMMINGS

iowa sTaTe Daily (iowa sTaTe U.)

The airbrushed models in magazines and their hilarious, yet saddening “Photoshop fails” are not exactly new discoveries. The fact that magazine executives make millions of dollars from distorting reality and subsequently changing people’s perceptions of human bodies isn’t exactly the latest controversy. Society is fully aware of how models’ bodies are “fixed” in the magazine industry, and yet it has become so normal to us, that we continue to sit idly by while the real “normal” is replaced with “digitally enhanced.”

But the bodies people are used to seeing outside the magazines — bodies of all shapes and sizes — don’t have to be forgotten, and they don’t have to remain strictly outside the realm of fashion.

Many stores and brands are beginning to realize that inviting in everyday people to show off their clothes might actually be the best way to sell those clothes — whether they’re concerned about everyone’s horrible body image or not. Though not every store has adopted this strategy for sales, the positive consumer reaction and benefit to shoppers’

self-esteems would be worth the change in advertising.

Back in January of this year, American Eagle’s smaller spin-off lingerie store, Aerie, announced a new advertising campaign called “Aerie Real” involving photos of their models that hadn’t been retouched. Though the models were certainly in better shape than many average women, the tiny “flaws” that appear on every woman’s body [wrinkles, rolls, dimples, lines, freckles and armpit fat] were all left in their places on the models’ bodies. Originally created to “challenge supermodel standards,” Aerie Real has since spawned #aerieReal, a feature of their website that allows shoppers to upload Instagram photos of themselves wearing the Aerie clothes.

This “style gallery” idea has been used by a number of other stores as well. The popular online vintage clothing store ModCloth not only allows users to upload pictures of themselves showing off their purchases, but also enables photos to be a feature of the review process, allowing buyers to hate or praise the clothes with picture evidence. Likewise, Out of Print Clothing, an online store that sells book-related clothing and accessories, put a literary twist on their “style

gallery” by dubbing that section “What’s Your Story?”

A wide range of stores and brands — from Coach to Lululemon — have embraced using regular people in their advertising campaigns. But this is no coincidence. According to the Wall Street Journal, more and more brands are looking to connect with buyers. The article showed that buyers are more willing to consider purchasing something if they see it on a regular person instead of an unusually perfect model. The photos of models tend to show how the clothes look like on a Photoshopped person, not how the clothes would look on a regular, un-retouched person.

But, buyers’ lean toward the “normal” model is exactly the reaction they should be having. For too many years, companies have believed that putting their product on a “perfect” human specimen would entice consumers to yearn for their items, but it has instead turned into a multi-million dollar industry that uses poor self-esteem as a marketing tool.

With 91 percent of women and at least 45 percent of Western men unhappy with their bodies, it is vitally important that the fashion industry learn to embrace this new, “regular” style of advertising.

It has become blatantly obvious in the last few years that the models we see in magazines or in advertisements are not even the same models we would see in person. Comedian and TV host Ellen DeGeneres even poked fun at one Photoshop fail recently by having her model guest use long fake arms to point out just how unrealistic these companies are making models look. Though we are expected to look up to models as perfect examples of the human body, not even the models can live up to fashion industry expectations.

There is no perfect specimen of the human body. And while physical fitness is certainly a good sign of health, it is important that people learn to love and respect their bodies in whatever form they take. Being model-thin is just as acceptable a body shape as any, but that body type should not monopolize the fashion industry — nor should any single body type. It is time the fashion industry learned to embrace the diversity of the human body and implement these style gallery or un-retouched campaigns.

If they would let us look at ourselves, they would find that we don’t need a role-“model” to look up to, but that we are perfect enough models for ourselves.

Feds’ intervention at Bundy Ranch uncalled for, unjust

By LAURA MEYERS

The Collegian (Kansas sTaTe U.)

So, I feel like it’s pretty safe to say that this little debacle between the feds and protesters at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada isn’t about an endangered turtle like some have claimed. It isn’t the result of a YouTube video either. (Too soon?)

In laymen’s terms, the U.S. federal government may or may not have had possession of Cliven Bundy’s property before his great-grandparents, and has required him and his family to pay “grazing fees” in order to fund the public land’s maintenance (because, for some dumb reason, it was deemed that he couldn’t do that himself) since the creation of the Bureau of Land Management.

So then, as Shiree Bundy Cox (daughter of Cliven) wrote in a blog, “They (the BLM) were supposed to assist the ranchers in the management of their ranges while the ranchers paid a yearly allotment which was to be used to pay the BLM wages and to help with repairs and improvements of the ranches. My dad did pay his grazing fees for years to the BLM until they were no longer using his fees to help him and to improve.”

This is confusing to me. Why would a farmer pay money to a government agency that is meant to maintain the land he works and lives on? Why does (hypothetically) Bundy need to give the BLM $30 to patch a hole in the fence, when he can pay the same $30 directly to the fence repairman? Why the need for third party intervention? Seems pointless to me. I will believe that ranchers are smarter with their livestock and land than politicians until the day I see Nevada’s U.S. Sen. Harry Reid milk a cow in overalls.

However, this argument isn’t about the necessity of the BLM (unfortu-

nately). It’s about whether or not the recent federal intervention, in Bundy’s case, is just. Well, according to a 2013 court order, the U.S. federal government restated that it does indeed have control over the debated property.

It is stated in the 2013 court order that, “Bundy shall remove his livestock from the New Trespass Lands within 45 days of the date hereof, and that the United States is entitled to seize and remove to impound any of Bundy’s cattle that remain in trespass after 45 days of the date hereof.”

I just keep asking, “Why? Why, why, why, why, why?”

Why does Bundy need to pay the federal government to facilitate maintenance on land that he freely does on his own? If the land is being maintained by Bundy’s own will, without government interven-

tion, what is the problem? I guess if you like your farm, you can’t keep that either now.

Why, according to Bundy’s daughter, has the BLM “bought all the rest of the ranchers in the area out with their own grazing fees?”

Why are environmentalists making this whole thing about a damn turtle when the government planned to euthanize over half the species’ population last year?

Meanwhile, Nevada state director for the BLM, Amy Leuders, tells media that, “In terms of the number that we’ve found, animals who are, I think, deceased on the range, or if we’ve had to euthanize an animal, we don’t have an answer to that question at this time.” So sometimes it’s perfectly fine to carelessly kill someone’s cattle, but just not the sacred turtles.

Lord, help us.

Why was it necessary for the government to spend $3 million to intimidate and send in snipers to the Bundy ranch? I mean, if you want a hamburger that bad, there are much more humane ways of doing so. And it’s okay to send snipers in against an American farmer, but if you’re an American official being burned alive by protesters in a foreign consulate, that would be a bit much. But I mean, what difference does it make at this point, anyways?

But all in all, the laws may seem to be there to prove that the federal government does have just right to the property. But, simply because the government’s actions are just in the eyes of the law, doesn’t mean that the actions result in justice.

Bundy is an example of an American fighting what is just in the name of law, for justice – what is right in the name of law.

Campus events promote club recruitment

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

There are many student organizations registered at Texas Tech, and students can also start new organizations if they want.

When recruiting new members, organizations can host separate events or participate in campus-wide events.

Annie Willis, the unit coordinator for student organizations, said many organizations choose to participate in Raider Welcome events.

“We had a Winter Raider Welcome in January, and over 70 clubs participated in it,” she said. “A lot of the organizations

set up posters, and they had sign-in sheets so they could contact students later. They also have pictures and awards set up if they have any.”

The fall Raider Welcome is hosted the week before classes start, according to the Raider Welcome website, and events during the week help students learn about the services available on campus.

Student organizations can be part of Raider Welcome by completing the online form by May 15, according to the website, and the proposed event must be approved by the university.

“Participating in Raider Welcome is a great help to organizations,” Willis said.

“It all depends on the students that are

participating. If they’re outgoing students from the group, they might attract more new members. You have to have some talkers at the table.”

At the Winter Raider Welcome, Willis said every participating organization had names written on its sign-in sheet.

In addition to hosting Raider Welcome events, Willis said organizations should also consider participating in Red Raider Orientation.

“Organizations can be involved in every orientation, and there are 17 of them throughout the summer,” she said.

“All the new students and their parents can come by the student organization fair. We usually have between 80 and 90

SHPE members are motivated to recruit members because they earn points by doing so, Negrete said, and the member with the highest amount of points is chosen to go to the national conference.

SHPE has 35 members and is classified as a medium-sized organization, Negrete said, and the organization hopes to recruit more members for next year by expanding to include members from science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.

“We always attend the Red Raider Orientation events,” she said. “There is also a Spanish orientation where we present in Spanish to those students. We’re trying to get better at recruiting because

this year wasn’t good in that aspect.”

Events like RRO are geared towards incoming students, Negrete said, and SHPE is focusing on recruiting freshmen by not requiring them to pay club dues.

Students should try to be in an organization, Willis said, because the involvement benefits them.

“Students are happier when they’re more connected to the university,” Willis said. “Their grades have been shown to increase. The more you’re involved, the more you excel in everything.

Th e Texas Te c h G r a d u ate Nutrition Organization and the Student Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics will host a showing of the HBO documentary “The Weight of the Nation” from 6-8 p.m.

May 2 in room 169 of the Human Sciences building.

Alexis Stamatikos, a nutritional sciences doctoral student, from Anna-Jonesboro, Ill., is the coordinator and treasurer for GNO. “We’re showing part two, ‘Choices,’ from the documentary, which discusses the complexity of the choices of foods and beverages that people make,” he said. “This affects weight whether it’s weight gain, weight maintenance or weight loss.”

A f t e r t h e d o c u m e n t a r y, there will be a question and answer segment, Stamatikos said, and the expert panel will consist of Tech professors including Debra Reed, Mary

Murimi, Martin Binks, Lisa Gittner and Shu Wang.

Olayide Olaniran, a nutrition and dietetics major from Oyo State, Nigeria, is a member of SAND and said the Q-and-A is beneficial for those attending.

“There is a lot of hearsay about nutrition,” she said.

“People get their information from anywhere. The question and answer segment is a good opportunity for people to ask credible sources about nutrition.”

The event is free for everyone to attend, Stamatikos said, and free food and beverages will be served.

Seth Selorm Klobo du, a nutritional sciences doctoral student from Accra, Ghana, said educating people about nutrition in college is the best way to start. “ We h a v e s t u d e n t s w h o will be going out to work and will be helping build the

nation and the economy,” he said. “We need a healthy nation, so I think this is the best place to start to make people aware of their health. It is important for us to spread the message to students so they can share it with their friends and family.”

The overall message of the event is to promote health at every size, Stamatikos said, because people should not regard health by a number on a scale.

GNO focuses on hosting events to promote nutrition, Stamatikos said, and aims to encourage living healthy lifestyles as well.

“In terms of a healthy lifestyle, even though people as a whole are living longer, their quality of life is decreasing,” he said. “If you live a healthy lifestyle and eat like you’re supposed to, you’ll increase your wellbeing.” ➤➤jromero@dailytoreador.com

Tough test for Tech track at Penn Relays Staff Writer

FILE PHOTO/The Daily Toreador

TEXAS TECH SPRINTER Amoy Blake competes in the 400-meter dash during the Texas Tech Open on April 5. The Red Raiders will compete in the Penn Relays this weekend.

Following the conclusion of the Texas Relays, Texas Tech track had two weeks competing in meets before they participated in another meet comparable in size and competition.

That meet was Mt. SAC Relays.

However, Tech does not receive another two weeks to prime itself before the Penn Relays, a meet equivalent to Mt. SAC. Texas Tech coach Wes Kittley said participation in the Penn Relays provides the track and field team exposure on a world stage.

“It’ll be televised,” Kittley said, “so we really want to be seen at the Penn Relays. It is a chance for our relays to run some of the best relays in the country.”

Running in the Penn, Mt. SAC and Texas Relays has rounded out the tour for Tech against high-level competition in all regions of the country, he said. The main focus, in conjunction with receiving exposure, is to improve times like any other week of competition.

Unlike the previous two relays, the individuals who make up the Red Raider and Lady Raider relay teams are not expected to compete in as many individual events, Kit-

tley said. This will allow them to the Tyson Invitational.

Wrigley reaches 100th birthday CHICAGO (AP) — There was a giant replica cake right next to the Ernie Banks statue, and an old-time band played as fans made their way through the main entrance.

The famed marquee had a message, too.

“Happy Birthday, Wrigley Field,” it read.

Exactly 100 years after the Chicago Federals pounded the Kansas City Packers in the first game at the famed ballpark, Wrigley was the scene of a joyous birthday bash on Wednesday afternoon. Banks and other Hall of Famers such as Billy Williams, Fergie Jenkins and Andre Dawson were on hand, and so were Bears greats Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers.

The Cubs and Diamondbacks went retro, wearing throwback 1914 jerseys, and the famed scoreboard listed Kansas City and Chi-Feds in their place. It was a day of celebration, a day of reflection. And a day

that ended with another loss, the Cubs falling 7-5 after blowing a ninth-inning lead.

But before that, the memories, the stories, flowed like runs in a big rally.

“It just gives me goose bumps because I had a chance to play here,” Williams said. “I often said this was my playground during the summer for so many years. So I have enjoyed it and I still enjoy it.”

The celebration was held as Cubs ownership and the neighboring rooftop owners remain in a standstill over proposed renovations.

The $500 million project, which includes a giant Jumbotron, is on hold because the Ricketts family wants assurances that it won’t be sued over obstructed views.

“You can’t ask a team to be competitive and you can’t ask people to do things and then tie their hands and their legs,” baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said. “It’s just wrong.

In Sudoku, all the numbers 1 to 9 must be in every row, column and 3 x 3 box. Use logic to define the answers.

Somebody has to say it so I’m happy to say it.”

The rooftop owners, who charge fans to sit in bleachers atop their buildings, have a contract under which they share 17 percent of their revenues with the Cubs. The Tribune Co., the previous owner, signed the deal and “this ownership didn’t,” Selig said.

He said the treatment the current owners — the Ricketts family — has received is “beyond unfair” and that he’ll do everything he “possibly can” to help them.

He also said the Rickettses have not approached him about moving, that they’re committed to renovating Wrigley and staying there.

“They know the right thing to do for this franchise and this sport is to preserve this, just like the Red Sox preserved Fenway,” said Selig, who made his first trip to the ballpark in May 1944.

This challenging portion of the schedule was not intentional, Kittley said, but he recognizes this stretch provides difficulties.

Most of the Red Raiders are not going to be subjected to this though, he said. Mostly distance runners and a few hurdlers, jumpers and throwers are scheduled to participate in this meet. For the Lady Raiders, this is not the case.

“They had great competition running against all the pro teams and all the girls and guys (at the Mt. SAC Relays),” Kittley said, “and they’ll have that again this week along with the best colleges.

So it will be a true test of back-toback, and I think it’ll be a great opportunity for them.”

These Tech athletes are better suited to produce against the pressure felt at conference, NCAA West Preliminaries and the 2014 NCAA Outdoor Championships if they can ignore the prestige of the relays and just focus on their jobs, Kittley said.

Tech begins competition at the relays today and goes until Saturday in Philadelphia. The other athletes on the team not selected to participate there will compete in the one-day West Texas A&M Classic on Saturday in Canyon. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com

them to return to work.

But while Nepal’s government has been heavily criticized for not doing enough for the Sherpas in the wake of last week’s disaster, the deadliest ever on the mountain, one top official blamed the walkout on “hooligans.”

“It was crowd behavior — some hooligans were creating problems, but things are getting back to normal,” said Sushil Ghimire, secretary of Nepal’s Tourism Ministry.

While it was unclear just how many of the 400 or so Sherpas on the mountain had joined the walkout, a number of expedition companies have already canceled their climbs, and the lucrative climbing season is in disarray. Most attempts

to reach Everest’s summit are made in mid-May, when a brief window normally offers better weather.

The Sherpas have no one leader, and those at basecamp said their walkout was for a variety of reasons, including to honor their dead friends. It was unclear whether they would return to work if the government accepts all their demands.

Immediately after the avalanche, the government said it would pay the families of each Sherpa who died 40,000 rupees, or about $415. But the Sherpas said they deserved far more — including more insurance money, more financial aid for the victims’ families and new regulations to ensure climbers’ rights.

Petty adds to recruiting class The Texas Tech women’s tennis team signed two international recruits to bolster its upcoming recruiting class, according to a news release from Tech Athletics.

Hortense Boscher, a native of France, and Sabrina Federici, a native of England, signed on to join the Lady Raiders next season.

“We are so excited about adding Hortense and Sabrina to the Lady Raider Tennis family,” Texas Tech head coach Todd

Petty said in the release. “The addition of these two young ladies really helps us bolster our lineup for the foreseeable future at Texas Tech.”

Boscher is currently ranked No. 9 in U18s by the French Tennis Federation, according to the release. She also led her high school, Lycée Sonia Delaunay, to the French High School National Championship in 2012.

The native of Villepreux, France was ranked No. 783 by the International Tennis Federa-

tion and is the second top 10 player from France to sign with a U.S. collegiate team.

“Hortense is a very physical player with a tremendous work ethic,” Petty said. “She has great hands and will be outstanding when she gets here and has more time to work on her craft. We are thrilled to have her as a part of our program.”

Federici is ranked No. 34 in Great Britain’s Open Division, according to the release, and has been a finalist in several British

ITF tournaments.

“Sabrina is a very talented left-handed player, who is extremely quick,” Petty said. “She has a lot of variety in her game and can be a matchup nightmare for some teams. We are excited to have Sabrina join the Lady Raider family.”

The signees helped give Tech the No. 12-ranked recruiting class in the nation and the best in the Big 12, according to the release. ➤➤tdorner@dailytoreador.com

Seager helps Seattle win 5-3over Houston SEATTLE (AP) — Kyle Seager hit a three-run homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth and the Seattle Mariners rallied for a 5-3 win over the Houston Astros on Wednesday to snap an eight-game losing streak.

Seager homered for his second straight at-bat after being mired in a slump for most of the season.

Seager hit a two-run homer in the seventh off Houston starter Jarred Cosart, then added the winning shot on the first pitch from Josh Fields (0-1) in the ninth. The five RBIs were a career high for Seager.

Seattle opened the ninth with a single from Robinson Cano that fell in front of Houston’s outfield that was playing deep and a sharp single by Corey Hart.

Fernando Rodney (1-1) got

the victory, pitching the top of the ninth in relief.

Seattle’s late rally spoiled what was looking to be a sweep for the Astros.

Cosart took a shutout into the seventh after failing to make it out of the first inning in his previous start. The Astros got a two-run double from Jason Castro in the third inning and Chris Carter’s second homer of the series in the seventh to take a 3-0 lead.

But that was all erased by Seager, who entered the day hitting .156 with just two RBIs on the season.

Seattle cut the lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh when Justin Smoak singled to left against the shift and Seager followed with his first homer of

the season. Cosart was replaced and Houston’s relievers got to the ninth without issue and Fields taking over.

Fields had earned saves in the first two games of the series, but was battered by Seattle this time.

Cano opening the ninth inning with his single, followed by a line drive to left from Hart. Fields rallied to strike out Smoak, but Seager jumped on the first pitch and hit it out deep to right field.

It was the third multi-homer game of Seager’s career.

Houston got its first two runs because of Seattle starter Chris Young’s struggle with control.

Young finished with five walks, including a trio in the third inning.

Young walked Matt Dominguez on a 3-2 pitch to start the inning,

then did the same to Dexter Fowler with two outs. Castro followed with a line drive just fair down the right-field line that allowed both runners to score.

Houston added another in the seventh when Carter hit his second homer of the series, a solo shot that just cleared the wall in left field. The homer came on a 3-2 pitch moments after Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon and a trainer had come to the mound to check on a possible injury. Young had retired 11 of 12 batters prior to the Carter homer.

Despite getting a no-decision, Young provided a break for Seattle’s taxed bullpen by making it through seven innings throwing 113 pitches. He struck out six and walked five.

Perez throws shutout, Rangers sweep Oakland OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Martin Perez pitched his second consecutive shutout to extend his scoreless innings streak to 26 and the Texas Rangers wrapped up a three-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics with a 3-0 victory Wednesday.

Donnie Murphy homered and Michael Choice scored one run and drove in another for the Rangers, who moved a half-game ahead of Oakland in first place in the AL West with their first sweep of the A’s since August 2011.

Perez (3-1) outpitched Sonny Gray (3-1) in a heralded matchup of

emerging stars, allowing just three hits and two walks in his first start since throwing a three-hitter against the White Sox for his first career shutout.

Perez, who also threw eight scoreless innings against Houston on April 13, is the first Rangers pitcher to have three straight scoreless starts since Kenny Rogers had four straight over 30 innings in 2005. Perez also joined Charlie Hough in 1983 as the only Texas pitchers to have three straight starts of at least eight scoreless innings.

The A’s never even threatened Perez on their way to getting swept at

home for the first time since September 2012 against the Angels, ending a streak of 32 straight home series with at least one win.

Oakland got leadoff singles from Jed Lowrie in the fourth and Derek Norris in the fifth for its first two hits off Perez. But Perez followed each of those hits by getting the next batter to hit into a double play, giving him a major league-leading 11 groundball double plays.

Josh Donaldson doubled with one out in the seventh, but was stranded there when Alberto Callaspo grounded

The Big 12 Conference office announced Wednesday that Texas Tech senior distance runner Kennedy Kithuka was named the Men’s Athlete of the Week, according to a news release from Tech Athletics.

Kithuka received the honor after his performance in the 5,000-meter run at the Mt. SAC Relays last week. In the race, he clocked the NCAA’s fastest time of the season at 13 minutes 26.98 seconds.

The NCAA’s fastest season

time also set a new school record at Tech, putting Kithuka in the No. 1 spot for a fourth Tech track and field record.

This is the third time the runner has been named Track and Field Athlete of the Week, according to the release, to go along with his seven conference Cross Country Runner of the Week awards.

The Red Raiders and Lady Raiders will begin competing at the 120th Penn Relays in Philadelphia today. ➤➤sports@dailytoreador.com

out with runners on first and second to end the inning.

Gray allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings to end a six-game winning streak in the regular season dating to last September.

He fell behind when Choice led the game off with a walk and scored on Alex Rios’ triple. The Rangers were poised for a possible big inning when Rios was originally ruled safe at home on a grounder Lowrie at shortstop. But A’s manager Bob Melvin challenged the call and Rios was ruled out on instant replay.
