O

n Sunday, the No. 9 Texas Tech Red Raider tennis team made history by winning a share of the Big 12 Conference title after a 4-2 win against No. 4 TCU. The matchup was also Senior Day for Tech, which began with a pregame presentation of seniors Felipe Soares, Hugo Dojas, Carlos DiLaura and Evan Nix. Tech began the day by clinching the first point of the match in doubles.

TCU, however, struck first in the doubles portion by defeating No. 85 duo sophomore Alex Sendegeya and freshman Bjorn Thomson.

Duo DiLaura and Dojas then responded with a win on court three after a 7-5 win.

Soares and sophomore Connor Curry then captured the doubles point with a 7-6(3) win on court two to put Tech ahead of TCU early.

Professors address rape culture

Former Raider Reds pass guns to new students

Todd Akin, former Republican Congressman from Missouri, said during an interview in 2012 with KTVI-TV that if it is rape, the female body can shut it down. Akin and his thinking illustrate why individuals to whom rape culture is a myth may be part of the problem.

Sexual violence is a widespread issue across college campuses in the U.S.

Texas Tech is no different, having made national headlines in fall 2014 because of a banner reading “No Means Yes, Yes Means Anal” at a party, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador.

A Tech faculty coalition was formed at that time to address the issue. Since then, it has undertaken several initiatives to change the campus climate by focusing on contemporary social issues including those of sexual violence and gender based discrimination.

Members of this faculty group call

themselves the Fearless Faculty.

How it all began On Oct. 13, 2010, during a pledge ritual of Delta Kappa Epsilon at Yale University, members marched through the residential area of the campus chanting hateful phrases such as “No means yes, yes means anal” and “My name is Jack, I’m a necrophiliac, I f--dead women,” according to an article on the Yale Daily News.

The important job of being Raider Red has ended for two dedicated students and has been passed on, carrying with it a new generation of school spirit and pride, to a new worthy candidate.

Raider Red has been a symbol for Texas Tech since 1971 when Jim Gaspard, a member of the Saddle Tramps, created Raider Red from cartoon drawings of Dirk West, according to the Spirit Program website.

Since then, Raider Red has been the physical embodiment of school spirit and has brought excitement and energy to hundreds of Tech sporting and community events.

Though Raider Red’s identity is kept anonymous throughout the school year, Jeremy Garcia, a senior

chemistry major from Alvin, and Mario Flores, a senior sports management major from Houston, were revealed as being the Raider Reds from 2015-2016 Friday during the Passing of the Guns ceremony at the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center.

“This is by far one of the best experiences that I’ve had here at Texas Tech,” Garcia said. “I’ve made memories that I’ll carry with me through the rest of my life.”

Both Garcia and Flores brought liveliness to many Tech events, but as graduation is approaching for them, it was time to suit out and pass the guns to a new Raider Red. During their speeches, they recalled some of the greatest things about being Raider Red and how it felt to be a mascot for the university.

Sleep routines impact wellness

By JESSICA GUEDEA Staff Writer

The average adult needs approximately seven to eight hours of sleep a night, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Teenagers need approximately nine to 10 hours a night, according to the CDC. Many college students are not sleeping the recommended amount of time, according to Health Day News.

Texas Tech students experience a wide range of sleep hours per night, with only a few meeting the recommended time every night.

Alleigh Perry, a sophomore kinesiology major from Clovis, New Mexico, said she typically sleeps eight hours a night. She usually does not lose sleep to study or do homework and takes advantage of opportunities to sleep.

Ana Maria Millet, a freshman public relations major from San Antonio, said she regularly sleeps six to seven hours a night.

CULTURE

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Four years later, Tech followed suit, and on Sept.

19, 2014, photos of a “No M e a n s Ye s , Ye s M e a n s Anal” banner and a sprinkler resembling female genitalia were taken at an unsanctioned Phi Delta Theta event, according to a previous article in The DT. In response to the fraternity’s actions, 23 faculty members published a guest column in The DT on Oct. 1, 2014. The column denounced the fraternity’s actions as reprehensible and called for a safer sexual climate on college campuses.

This marked the beginning of the Fearless Faculty group.

“I find this a very fearinducing slogan,” Elizabeth Sharp, associate professor of human development and family studies, said, “and we certainly wanted every student and staff and faculty on our campus to know that we are not going to tolerate this kind of fearinducing slogan, this kind of discursive violence.”

Sharp, a founding member of the group, said the group’s name, Fearless Faculty, originated from Tech Athletics’ fearless champions.

“I had season tickets at the football game that fall, and the whole campaign was about being a fearless champion,” she said, “and that slogan was the most fear-inducing slogan I’ve seen in a long time.”

Donald Lavigne, associate professor of classics and a founding group member, said the faculty members involved were concerned equally about Tech’s image in the national and international media. After all, the Huffington Post published an article describing the incident merely days after its occurrence.

This image of Tech was not short-lived either. A Last Week Tonight video on sex education was posted al-

Carter Davis, a sophomore finance major from Houston, said he sleeps about three to four hours a night.

Davis said he would like to sleep more but loses sleep time because of working late or spending time in the library studying.

According to Huffington Post, 60 percent of the college population gets insufficient sleep. Research from Harvard says only 11 percent of college students sleep well while 40 percent of students feel well rested only two days per week.

Various factors can contribute to someone’s lack of sleep.

Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, depression, insomnia, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome (RLS) and sleep apnea can all be the culprit for one’s loss of sleep, according to the CDC. In addition, there are schoolrelated factors that can affect someone’s sleep. Students regularly deal with homework, exams, work, social activities, stress and being homesick.

A person’s lack of sleep can

affect them in numerous ways.

For students, their lack of sleep could affect their ability to learn and impairment of concentration and memory.

A person receiving inadequate sleep can cause him or her to be overly emotional, sluggish, hungry and clumsier than usual, according to Huffington Post, and can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, heart failure, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure or strokes, according to WebMD. Lack of sleep can also contribute to slowed reaction time and can impair a person’s ability to make decisions. Those two effects can lead to drowsy driving, which was the reason for 846 fatalities in 2014, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

There are numerous tips for how to get adequate sleep each night on the CDC’s website.

Those tips include avoiding large meals before bedtime, having a good sleeping environment that is quiet, dark and relaxing,

most a year later on Aug. 9, 2015. In the video, John Oliver uses Tech as an example to illustrate the importance of understanding sexual consent and to address the issue of rape culture on college campuses.

“Last year, fraternities at both Texas Tech and LSU were caught using the (‘No means Yes, Yes means Anal’) slogan,” Oliver said in the video. “It’s become something you hear on college campuses as often as ‘I’m thinking of switching majors’ or ‘Why is James Franco here?’”

In the weeks after, the Fearless Faculty convened two open meetings — one for faculty only and the other for both faculty and students. The meetings were meant to address rape culture on the Tech campus as well as to share ideas for action, Sharp said.

There were close to 30 faculty members during the first meeting from disciplines as diverse as English and engineering, Sharp said.

It was the beginning of interdisciplinary activism by faculty members at Tech.

The Fearless Faculty group is not a formal group, and it does not receive direct support from the Tech administration, Lavigne said. The group members think of it as a grassroots organization with no official membership.

“That’s one of the things we think is powerful about our group, is that there is no central group,” Lavigne said.

“We don’t have an agenda other than raising level of the discourse on campus and preventing fear.”

The group members contribute in whatever capacity they can. For instance, one of the ideas that originated from the initial group meetings was of a letter writing campaign, Lavigne said. Several group members decided to continue publishing guest columns in The DT to address issues

concerning sexual violence, rape culture and community discourse.

Overall, five guest columns were published by Fearless Faculty members that semester, and most of them dealt with society’s ways of handling rape culture. At the same time, however, several individuals within the Tech community appeared to be either unaware or confused about what rape culture precisely means.

What is rape culture?

Rape culture refers to the way in which our society ignores, trivializes, normalizes or even jokes about sexual violence, Dana Weiser, assistant professor of human development and family studies, said.

Weiser is one of the original Fearless Faculty members. Along with Kimberly Simón, director of the Risk Intervention and Safety Education office, Weiser gave a presentation on rape culture on Thursday. It was also the Faculty Day of Action, which is observed on April 21 of each year.

Rape culture is not characterized by rates of sexual assault alone, Weiser said. Rather, rape culture is defined by how society treats and thinks about sexual assault.

Often hard to detect, rape culture creates an environment where victims are not believed or supported and perpetrators go unpunished, she said.

“Rape culture is this thing that when you are in it, often you are perpetuating it, and you don’t even realize (it),” Simón said.

“And that’s the piece that’s really difficult.”

The roots of rape culture lie in the cultural assignment of stereotypical gender norms for men and women, Weiser said.

It begins in infancy and continues through adolescence. This is seen in several high schools that employ the use of double standards in sex education

sticking to a sleep schedule, going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, even on the

weekends and avoid pulling an all-nighter to study. The CDC suggests seeing a health care

provider if someone continues to have trouble sleeping.

for men and women.

Therefore, individuals are often exposed to several years of sexist narratives by the time they reach college, Weiser said. They have faulty perceptions of “dominant men” and “passive women.”

This leads some men to express their feelings through sexuality, she said.

According to a study conducted in 2013 on college men, around 12 percent said they would indicate consent to anal sex by inserting their penis into a woman’s anus and pretending they had inserted it there by mistake.

Furthermore, rape culture gives rise to certain myths, Weiser said, such as male behavior is “uncontrollable” and male sexuality “cannot be tamed.”

“I deal with awesome male students, I have an awesome male partner, I have awesome male friends, and they are absolutely horrified by that message,” she said.

In fact, according to statistics from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, while one in five women are sexually assaulted in college, one in 16 men also are sexually assaulted in college.

There are many ways to disrupt rape culture that include bystander intervention, participation in campus events and familiarity with rape myths. However, supporting and believing sexual assault survivors is perhaps the most important, Simón said.

“If you remember nothing else from any presentations,” Simón said, “supporting and believing somebody when they tell you, that is absolutely the most crucial piece of the puzzle.”

With caution, one may find more instances of rape culture on Twitter through #RapeCultureIsWhen.

What came next After Phi Delta Theta’s slogan incident and Fearless Faculty’s letter-writing campaign, other initiatives originated such as the Faculty/Staff Title IX series and the Sexism in Cinema series. Additionally, new members became a part of the faculty coalition, who continued to contribute in their own ways.

Keira Williams, assistant professor of history and women’s studies in the Honors College, was not an original member of the group. After the slogan incident, Williams said she changed the initial course plan for her class and included a discussion on rape culture and sexual violence.

“It was a Wonder Woman class. Rape culture does not actually factor into that course content naturally, but we just talked about it,” Williams said, “and because of that Dr. (Aliza) Wong asked me to do a workshop on rape culture.”

Corby Kelly, former assistant professor of classics and a founding member of Fearless Faculty, was at

the workshop and invited Williams to the next Fearless Faculty meeting. Williams said she attended the faculty meeting and has remained involved in the group since then.

“I am glad (Kelly) came to the symposium,” she said.

“This is an issue that I care about, like I have volunteered at rape crisis centers in the past. This is just something I care about.”

Williams is involved in revamping Tech’s Title IX website. In order to make it easier for students to obtain necessary information on Title IX reporting, she is collecting student input. It is a work in progress, Williams said.

The Fearless Faculty g r o u p s t a r t e d t h e F a culty/Staff Title IX series to raise awareness about the implications of Title IX, Williams said. The Title IX series is hosted by the RISE office in partnership with the Dean of Students Office, Student Resolution Center, Student Counseling Center and the Gender Equity Council.

“With the Title IX series, the idea is for faculty and staff to be educated on the issues, because even though Title IX has been around a while, not everybody knows how it works,” Williams said.

In order to combine education with entertainment, the Fearless Faculty group decided to organize the Sexism in Cinema film series, which has been hosted for the past three semesters at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. The films are intended to raise awareness and address intersectionality issues of race, class and sexuality, Sharp said.

Last semester, the group organized a screening of t h e d o c u m e n t a r y, “ T h e Hunting Ground,” followed by a discussion with Annie Clark and Andrea Pino, two college sexual assault activists featured in the film.

Williams said she wanted to bring Clark and Pino to campus, but was not sure how to make it happen.

“I didn’t know where we were going to get the m o n e y, ” Wi l l i a m s s a i d , “and then Women’s Studies, the Honors College and the dean of Students all ponied up and split it fairly evenly and brought them to campus.”

Most recently, the Fearless Faculty group wrote a letter to the editor of The DT. Published on April 6, the letter of support to the campus LGBT community was signed by 109 faculty members on campus.

The group members felt a need to write the letter when a student came to Lavigne and Sharp with tears in his eyes and described a flier containing a homophobic slur. Although the faculty members were aware of the existence of hate speech directed at LGBT individuals at Tech, Williams said the flier made them realize the full extent of the issue.

“ T h i s f l i e r r e a l l y, i t brought home that this was an ongoing context, that it was continued harassment, it was not just an isolated incident,” Williams said. “It appeared to be coming from some various sources.”

The flier was a promotion for the upcoming lecture by Milo Yiannopoulos, tech editor for Breitbart News. Yiannopoulos is currently on a tour called “The Dangerous Faggot Tour.”

The event, sponsored by the Young Conservatives of Texas Tech and the Young Americans for Liberty, was scheduled for April 12.

Yiannopoulos canceled the event because of personal reasons, according to a previous article in The DT. The way ahead Rape is the most underreported crime, according to statistics from the National Sexual Violence R e s o u r c e C e n t e r. M o r e than 90 percent of sexual assault victims on college campuses do not report sexual assault.

Rape myths, sexual violence and gender based discrimination are perpetuated when individuals do not feel the need to raise concerns or when they fail to realize the existence of such issues, Lavigne said.

“The big problem with reporting was that women basically thought this was pointless or stigmatized, one or the other, in some capacity,” Lavigne said.

The most important goal achieved by the Fearless Faculty has been the initiation of a dialogue between administration, staff, faculty and students, he said. This will foster combined efforts toward creating a safe campus environment for people from all backgrounds.

The faculty members consider their involvement in this group to be one of their duties, Lavigne said.

Their goal is to model activism efforts for students.

“We feel like there is a natural alliance to be made between faculty and students that is a really powerful one,” he said. “We galvanize around the issue of gender and sexuality, but I think most of us are concerned with broader issues of social justice. So, we’ll speak out on whatever we feel needs to be corrected.”

Williams and Lavigne said activism efforts at Te c h c a n b e e n h a n c e d through increased student involvement.

The culture of fear has partly affected student involvement at Tech, Williams said.

However, students yield the kind of power faculty do not, she said, and it is one they will lose the moment they graduate.

“I know students don’t feel powerful, but you have a kind of power as a student in the university that you are not going to have again for a while,” Williams said, “unless you just have a trust fund.”

Tech drops first Big 12 series to Texas

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

After winning the first game of the series, the No. 7 Texas Tech baseball team dropped the final two games of the weekend series against Texas.

This is the first Big 12 Conference series the team has lost this season and the first of any series since the beginning of March.

“Today (Texas) was better than us. I don’t think that means you line up and play tomorrow, I don’t think the same thing happens,” Tech coach Tim Tadlock said. “I think we have the better team, quite honestly. I’ll take our guys in the locker room any day.”

The rivals began the series on Friday night in front of the first of three sellout crowds.

The Longhorns quickly claimed a 5-0 lead after three innings. The Red Raiders cut into the lead with two runs in the fourth inning.

Freshman right-handed pitcher Davis Martin kept the momentum on the Red Raider side by striking out the side in the top of the fifth inning. “(Martin is) a starter and you have to compete through some things as a starter,” Tadlock said. “He did a good job doing that.”

The offense took advantage by tying the game in the bottom of the inning. Senior outfielder Tyler Neslony picked up his second and third RBIs of the game with a double. Senior first baseman Eric Gutierrez drove in Neslony for the tying run.

Tech claimed its first lead of the game with a run in the following inning.

The Red Raiders blew the game wide open in the seventh inning by scoring seven runs for a 13-5 lead.

DUNCAN STANLEY/The Daily Toreador

Texas Tech outfielder Stephen Smith returns to the dugout after striking out during Tech’s 17-1 loss to Texas on Sunday at Rip Griffin Park. The 16-run margin of victory is the largest margin for either team in the history of the 156-game series between Tech and Texas.

Sophomore outfielder Tanner Gardner record his fourth hit and second RBI in the inning. Neslony recorded yet another RBI in the inning for his fifth of the game. Five different Red Raiders had multi-hit days.

“We were able to get things rolling, chip away,” Neslony said, “and then busted open there in the seventh.”

Over the final three innings, Tech’s bullpen allowed only two hits and one run to preserve the 13-6 victory.

The Longhorns avoided losing the series by defeating the Red Raiders 7-4 in a comeback effort on Saturday.

The loss snapped Tech’s 11-game Big 12 Conference game winning streak, which is the longest in school history. Saturday also marked the first time the team has lost a conference game at home all season.

Freshman southpaw Steven Gingery started on the

mound. He struggled to command his pitches in the first inning and walked in a run in the first inning.

Tech regained the lead with a two-out rally in the third inning. Neslony and junior outfielder Hunter Hargrove hit consecutive two-out singles to bring in three runs.

Junior outfielder Stephen Smith crushed a solo home run in the next inning to give him the conference lead with nine homers.

After going up 4-1 after Smith’s home run, the offense was shut out for the reminder of the game.

Freshman right-handed pitcher Nolan Kingham shut down Tech by not allowing a hit over the last three innings.

“He’s got a good arm.

Kingham has a better than average arm with a good breaking ball,” Tadlock said.

“He’s pitching with a lead when he came in.”

Kingham had the lead because the Longhorns broke open a 4-4 game in the seventh inning with five hits and three runs.

Senior designated hitter Cory Raley was not concerned about the team’s winning streak coming to an end and was confident in his teammate’s ability to rebound on Sunday.

The Red Raiders did not respond in the final game of the series as the Longhorns offense was clicking and Tech struggled to get a hit.

Texas blasted a threerun home run in the third inning and never looked back from there.

Junior southpaw Hayden Howard made his first start of the season but was forced off the mound after failing to record an out in the third inning and allowing seven runs.

Freshman right-handed pitcher Ryan Shetter was scheduled to make the start,

The loss handed the Red Raiders their first Big 12 series loss of the season. but Howard told Tadlock before the game that he wanted the start. Since Howard’s ERA was sub 2.00 for the season, Tadlock elected to go with Howard.

Once Howard left the game, the Longhorns bats continued to heat up against the Red Raider bullpen. They scored five runs in the each of the third and fourth innings.

Tech’s offense was held without a hit until Raley recorded a single with one out in the fourth inning. The team got on the board with a solo home run from senior catcher Tyler Floyd in the single inning, but trailed 13-0 by that point.

From Floyd’s perspective, the pitching was not on top of its game, but the defense did

not do the pitchers any favors. “(The pitchers) weren’t as good as we’d like them to be, but neither was the defense, starting with me,” he said. “I didn’t feel like I played well on defense. (Defense) goes a long way whether or not a pitcher does well.”

The 16-run margin of victory is the largest margin for either team in the history of the 156-game series between the two.

Despite the series loss, Tech remains in first place in the Big 12 with a 12-3 conference record.

With sellouts in all three games, the total series attendance was 13,296, which marks a Rip Griffin Park record. @JeremyK_DT

TRACK AND FIELD

Red Raiders tally personal bests at Michael Johnson Invitational

FILE PHOTO/The Daily Toreador

Chris Caldwell hands the baton to Andrew Hudson during the first exchange of the 4x100 meter relay on March 24 at the Fuller Track and Field Complex. Caldwell won the 110-meter hurdles this weekend at the Michael Johnson Invitational in Waco.

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Staff Writer

The Texas Tech track and field team had some personal bests, season highs and record school marks at the Michael Johnson Invitational this past weekend in Waco.

When it was all said and done, Tech added 30 personal bests, four top 10 all-time Texas Tech marks, three stadium records and an NCAA-leading mark set by senior Hannah Carson, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

At the meet in Waco, Carson was throwing just less than 180 feet in the javelin.

Carson proved her ability when her first throw of the day gave her a new season best at 55.29m/181-4. Her first throw also set a new stadium record, according to the release.

Each of Carson’s next three tosses beat her first attempt with a distance of 55.55m/182-3 on her second toss and 57.98m/190-2 on her third toss, according to the release.

In her fourth toss, Car-

son threw a distance of 60.42m/198-3. Not only did that distance beat her own school record, her throw gave her the NCAA lead in the javelin and moved her to No. 12 in the world. To add to her success, Carson became No. 3 all-time collegiate and No. 5 all-time U.S. performer with her final toss.

In the men’s 4x100 relay team, Nigel Bethel, Andrew Hudson, Kareem McBride and Kyle Collins clinched a time of 39.50 to take the win for the Red Raiders.

This moved the team up to No. 7 in the west region and was the sixth-fastest time in school history.

In the 400 meter, Kyle Collins stepped up and had a time of 45.33. The time Collins made shot him up to fourth in the region and was the eight-fastest time in school history.

J u n i o r Vi e r s h a n i e Latham leapt to first place in the triple jump with a distance of 13.31m/43-8, setting a new indoor personal best and making the second best jump in school history.

Latham’s jump propelled her to No. 4 in the region

and also gave her the Big 12 lead in the event, according to the release.

She also swept the win in the long jump with a distance of 6.14m/20-1.75.

Her leap in the sand set a personal best for Latham.

Right behind Latham in the long jump was junior Amani Nesmith who secured third place with a distance of 6.13m/20-1.5, setting the two jumpers at No. 14 and No. 17 in the west region.

Back on the men’s side, freshman Charles Brown secured the win with a leap of 7.79m/25-6.75 in the long jump, setting a stadium record. Brown also showed off in the triple jump where he set a personal best with a distance of 15.40m/50-6.25 to finish fifth in the event.

Sophomore C.J. Jones had a powerhouse performance in the men’s 800-m, where he broke a stadium record. Jones took the win for the Red Raiders with a time of 1:47.34. Freshman Vincent Crisp was right at Jones heels with a finishing

time of 1:47.96, giving the two the No. 8 and No. 11 spots in the west region.

Adding to the win total for Tech was senior Chris Caldwell in the 110-m hurdles and senior Bradley Adkins in the high jump.

Caldwell secured a time of 13.97 seconds (-0.7) placing him at No. 16 in the

region. Adkins also had an impressive mark at the meet clearing 2.13m/6-11.75 and clinching the victory.

up every day and try to embrace the life we are called to live. However, because we are so incredibly human, it’s not easy. It’s not easy at all.

It doesn’t always look graceful and it doesn’t always seem Christ-centered.

Sometimes, it seems like we are just going through the motions. Sometimes it looks like we are just embracing Christian culture — sipping on our tattooed Nalgene while we doodle some scripture. We’ve been called insincere and we’ve been called artificial and the worst part is that we’ve been the ones calling ourselves those things.

But all of this is better than nothing, and sometimes nothing is all we want to do. Trying, regardless of whether the results are wildly successful or meekly underwhelming, is so vital to the continuation of our faith

and the growth of our church.

We have to acknowledge the fact we are trying to live like Jesus did — some days more effectively and more completely than others.

We will never be perfect and our lives will never look too pretty, but as long as we keep trying, we’re doing pretty darn well. The second we realize we will never be perfect, we can realize our efforts are what count, not the result of them.

This is in part because God is the one who makes our trying into more than we ever could. He is the one who asks us not to lean on our own understanding, but instead trust he will take our trials and use them to tell his truth.

We can’t make our lives add up to more than they are, but we can put ourselves in places and with people that God will use to make it more than it is.

So, we shouldn’t beat ourselves up about the state of our hearts. We aren’t called to live discouraged and doubt-filled lives. “You of little faith,” Jesus said when at sea with his disciples, “why did you doubt?”

Clinton, Trump steam ahead of rivals PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump surged Sunday toward another round of pivotal presidential primaries as their party leaders faced new questions about internal divisions that could complicate their nominees’ general election chances.

Wi t h l e s s t h a n 4 8 hours before voting begins across five Northeastern states, GOP front-runner Donald Trump looked to Tuesday’s contests, where he’s poised to do well, and to a foreign policy speech later in the week. Republican challenger Ted Cruz, meanwhile, abandoned the Tuesday states and instead campaigned in Indiana, which votes May 3.

On the Democratic side, underdog Bernie Sanders rallied thousands of voters in Rhode Island, looking to the smallest state in the nation for momentum even as he appeared to soften his attacks on Clinton.

“If Secretary Clinton is the nominee — and we’re not giving this thing up, we’re going all the way to California — but if she is the nominee, I would hope that she puts together the strongest progressive agenda,” Sanders said on ABC’s “This Week” before

courting voters in Rhode Island’s capital city.

Clinton hoped Tuesday’s contests in Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland and Delaware would mark a turning point in her quest for the Democratic nomination. Victories in four or five states would all but cripple Sanders’ White House bid.

The former secretary of state went to two Philadelphia church services attended largely by AfricanAmericans ahead of the primary in Pennsylvania, Tuesday’s top delegate prize. She declined to attack her Democratic rival by name in the morning appearance and a subsequent stop in Bridgeport, Connecticut, focusing on the GOP candidates.

Clinton charged that rhetoric from Trump and Ted Cruz is “not only offensive, it’s dangerous.”

“The people who run for office on the tea party or whatever else and say they will never compromise, they are basically denying the fundamental tenets of democracy,” Clinton said.

Clinton, emerging stronger after a triumph in last week’s New York primary, stood to effectively lock up the nomina-

spirits fall because of a few harsh words?

Run farther and faster and longer. Keep running into our Jesus’ arms. He doesn’t want us to turn away because we feel like we aren’t good enough. We’re not, and we won’t ever be. But, if that is what keeps us from being close to our God, then we will always be far from him.

Let Jesus pour his love and grace into you. Let those around you help foster your faith. If sitting in a coffee shop with your Bible and a latte makes you feel at peace, then lean into that peace. Let it protect your heart’s purpose of growing closer to Him. Don’t let discouragement seep deeper into your soul than your trust in the Lord does. Let’s stop making this more complicated than it needs to be. Let’s seek Jesus relentlessly and trust He will do the rest. That is what we are called to do; not to steal God’s role as the perfector of our faith, but to constantly acknowledge that we need our faith perfected. We need it perfected by the one it exists to glorify.

Wi t h 1 7 2 d e l e g a t e s at stake Tuesday on the Republican side, Trump could take a significant step toward his party’s delegate majority with the dominant performance that many polls predict.

His rivals, Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, have been mathematically e l i m i n a t e d f r o m e a r ning the necessary 1,237 delegates and are instead trying to block Trump from the majority to force a contested national convention in July.

Cruz made no mention of Tuesday’s elections as he campaigned Sunday afternoon in Indiana, targeting Trump’s brash tone instead.

“We’re facing a choice.

Do we want to be behind a campaign that is based on yelling, screaming and cursing and insulting?”

Cruz asked.

Trump was set to appear in Maryland Sunday as a senior adviser predicted that Cruz is “going to lose all five states and probably finish third in most of them” on Tuesday.

unning for congressional district 19 to fill the vacancy Congressman Randy Neugebauer will be leaving, Jodey Arrington and Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson will be involved in a May 24 runoff election.

As much as I deplore the platforms for both campaigns, I have to add the campaign Arrington is running at least takes the oath of office somewhat seriously.

Last week, Robertson traveled to Laredo to see for himself the conditions of the United States and Mexico border.

It goes to show how much of a public relations fail this was when the only media that covered this little trip was Breitbart news.

I marveled as to how much was quoted by Robertson and what was actually said. Robertson was hyped by the fact he got to take a tour that wasn’t like all of the rest of Texas bureaucrats get, he said, according to the article.

However, there seemed to be some pretty staged pictures and quotes in the article, so I’m pretty positive everything he did was unauthentic.

To a c c o m p a n y R o b e r t s o n ’s l o n g t r a i n o f nonsensical thoughts B r e i t b a r t ’s m a n a g i n g director,Brandon Darby went on the trip as well and gave some rather uniformed opinions on the subject matter. Apparently, from the article, once Robertson left the border Breitbart was the only “news” outlet to cover a Zeta cartel member smuggling human cargo over the river.

“This is a frequent occurrence in this sector where there are no manmade barriers to secure the border,” Darby said in the article. “Only a narrow stretch of river, easy to cross by these smugglers, separates the U.S. from these drug smugglers, human traffickers and people from countries in the Middle East who might want to do harm to America.”

So let’s do some math here. Open borders means that terrorists come from the Middle East and go spread their terrorism all over Texas. Or we can think logically and end that conversation where it stands.

Since 9/11, border security has gone up in the South by a large margin and people in government looking at the numbers are coming to the conclusion that was not the best way to spend taxpayer money.

Now going off of that increase in money given to border security, there also happened to be this increase in intrusion from Mexican immigrants. But this went on the decrease by a huge margin after the 2008 recession.

Around the early 2000s the border patrol was catching more than 1 million immigrants, but about 10 years later it had dropped to more than 400,000 and has continued to do so because of the change in job types and the economy, all of this according to Martha Mendoza of the Associated Press.

An increase in border security is not a good investment and Robertson’s plan to increase border security would contradict all he says about being a fiscal conservative.

that has been thrown at border security has not even been keeping drugs out of the U.S., according to Mendoza’s article.

Cartel bosses send more, at little or no cost to them, and still get the same amount of profit.

But Robertson refuses to look at the numbers and have a logical thought. In fact, that’s just about the same things all politicians who support increased border security are doing.

This is the reason R ober tson ’s c am p aign is dying.

He speaks often of politicians who are insincere and uninformed, but he himself often speaks off of generic catchphrases and misinformation.

Throughout all of the interviews and things I’ve read on Robertson, the man has yet to answer one question with a legitimate answer.

He is an embarrassment to Lubbock and in fact the whole state of Texas. It makes me cringe every time I think that this guy was on a couple of school boards — he was making decisions as to what kids can and can’t learn; I cannot be the only one who is frightened by that.

Regardless of the situation, Arrington is racking up endorsements left and right while Robertson has an endorsement from somebody named Donald May (who is that?).

But Robertson refuses to look at the numbers and have a logical thought.

Do us all a favor Glen, go find an island and buy it with all that money you’ve made from successful small businesses.

Once you’ve bought that island, invite all of your rich, white, man friends there and live with them.

That way you can ignore the poor from a distance and tell everybody they should live like you.

This would also help you and your rich, white friends continue to misinterpret the Bible and everybody can live happily. Most of all you would not have to live with all of those Mexicans who are being intrusive and you can live in a bubble, free of any type of diversity.

Do this please.

But if you don’t want to, here’s another piece of advice: For the love of all things holy, read a book and at least try to act like a human.

Your campaign is garbage and you’re making Lubbock look bad. Don’t think just because you ran Lubbock for a few years you’re all high and mighty.

For goodness sake as long as the town’s not on fire and the Buddy Holly statue we have isn’t broken, anybody can be hailed as a hero here. @MichaelCantuDT

Tech wins final two games against Iowa State

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

Two straight wins over the Iowa State Cyclones at home brought back a joyful mood as a seven-game losing streak came to a close for the Texas Tech Red Raider softball team.

Tech coach Adrian Gregory said the team tried to break out of an emotional slump, and by the end of the series, the team looked more free on the field than it did at the start.

“Our kids just play with a lot of heart,” Gregory said.

“I just saw us loosen up all together and control what we should have controlled.”

Opening the series, Iowa State handed the Red Raiders their first home loss against a Big 12 opponent Friday night at Rocky Johnson Field.

A quiet first two innings from Tech allowed the Cyclones to gain the first run of the game. At the top of the third, Iowa State’s leadoff batter walked and after advancing to third on a throw to first after a strikeout and a groundout to first, a single plated the initial run.

On a 1-2 count at the bottom of the fourth with two outs, senior second baseman Kirsten Schwirtlich matched the Cyclones’ initial run by driving a double to right center to score freshman designated player Jessica Hartwell at second.

Starting out the next inning, Iowa State cashed in on an error at first as a single up the middle broke the 1-1 tie. Freshman Kiani Ramsey tied the game once more by singling down left field at the bottom of the inning, but a single and fielding error by the catcher gave the lead once more to Iowa State.

Iowa State continued scoring in the sixth by hitting a pair of RBI singles and blasting out a three-run

After hitting a three-run home run in the bottom of the third inning, catcher Susan Welborn celebrates with her team at home plate on Sunday at Rocky Johnson Field. The home run gave Tech a 7-5 lead against Iowa State than added two later in the game to win 13-5. homer for a 8-2 lead.

The breakdown in the fifth, Gregory said, came down to defensive miscues and a mental breakdown from the team.

“If you have a mental meltdown in golf, it’s terrible,” Gregory said. “It’s the same thing here, we just had a mental meltdown.”

Junior catcher Susan Welborn carved out a pair of runs to bring the Red Raiders closer to their visitors by driving out her sixth home run of the season.

A quick three-and-out brought the Red Raiders standing with a four-run hole to recover from. Ramsey tripled to right center to spark the thoughts of a rally.

Hartwell then grounded out, bringing in Ramsey to cut the deficit to 8-6, but Iowa State earned the final two outs for its first Big 12 win

of the season.

A 5-3 finish in the second game against the Cyclones snapped a four-game winning streak for Tech Saturday afternoon.

A two-run shot from senior utility player Aly Cappaert pushed Iowa State to an advantage in its first turn at bat, but at the home half of the inning, junior right fielder Kierra Miles matched Cappaert’s home run trot by blasting one with Hartwell posted at second.

An inning later, Tech took the lead and brought in its final three runs of the game.

Iowa State nearly tied the game in the sixth by loading the bases, but a lone single with runners on gained the Cyclones just one run. The Cyclones did not gain another opportunity to produce runs in the final inning as junior Mattison Maisel, who

came in the at the top of the sixth for junior Dominique Alcocer, served just eight pitches to deliver the final three innings of the game.

Sunday afternoon, Tech won the final game of the series by breaking open the fifth inning in an otherwise even matchup.

Earning the win in the final game of the series, Ramsey said, added momentum for the team as it heads to the final eight games of the season.

“We had such a fire under us that we wanted to come out with a win and we would do anything to get it,” Ramsey said.

Two batters into the game, Iowa State plated the first run and a single following a stolen base. Cappaert then bombed a first-pitch home run to give the Cyclones a 3-0 lead.

By the end of the home half of the first, however, Tech restarted the game.

Bettiol began the inning by bouncing a ball to center and Ramsey followed by tapping a bunt toward third. Following a ground out, Miles singled to third to drive in Bettiol.

Junior first baseman Brittany Warnecke then pulled off a suicide squeeze by laying a bunt to third for Ramsey to beat the throw to home and advance Miles to third. A fly out by Schwirtlich followed Warnecke’s bunt, but it brought in the tying run for the Red Raiders.

Tech took a 4-3 lead in its next turn at bat on a double from Ramsey to bring in Bettiol, but Iowa State converted two runs at the top of the third on a throwing error at shortstop and a single to center.

Iowa State lost the lead once again in the bottom of the inning as Welborn launched a homer past the center field wall for three Tech runs. Leading off the fifth, Hartwell extended the lead to 8-5 by smacking her seventh home run of the season.

Hartwell’s homer sparked the Red Raider offense to close out the game by scoring another five runs. Miles scored second after moving from second to third and finally home on two illegal pitches. Welborn then added another run by doubling and after a hit-by-pitch on freshman Karli Hamilton, a wild pitch advanced Welborn and Hamilton to third and second. A fielder’s choice placed the fourth run and after a fly out to third, the Red Raiders had two outs and two runs to go to earn a run-rule finish.

In the last play of the game, Ramsey singled to the shortstop and fooled the entire Iowa State defense by heading to second as Hamilton and Scott, who reached on the fielder’s choice, snuck in the final two runs.

In her last at bat of the series, Ramsey said she read the defense, but the distraction at second shaped itself once she placed the ball in play.

“As soon as I saw second base open, I said this is the moment to create something,” Ramsey said. “I wasn’t trying to make something happen to get the run-rule, I was just trying to put the ball in play and make anything happen.”

The two wins over the Cyclones brought Tech’s overall record to 21-26 and improved its Big 12 record to an even 6-6.

A midweek double header away from home awaits the Red Raiders as they face North Texas with the first game starting at 1 p.m.

Lady Raiders finish Big Tech sweeps Iowa State, West Virginia

By ALEXA BOUTWELL AND 12 play in ninth place BRANDON SOLIZ The Texas Tech women’s golf team finished Big 12 Conference play receiving ninth place in the Big 12 Championships on Sunday in San Antonio.

Tech coach JoJo Robinson said she was disappointed with the group’s finish in the championships, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

According to the release, Tech carded a 10 over 298 to finish the weekend at 25 over. Tech was only four shots out of sixth place.

“This was not what we expected coming into the weekend,” Robinson said in the release. “More than anything, we played average and got beat by teams who played a lot better than we did. We find out tomorrow where we go for regionals, so we need to put this behind us and look

forward to next week.”

Sophomore Gabby Barker finished 17th in the Big 12 Championships. According to the release, Barker went into Sunday as one of the 11 players at even par or better.

Barker finished the championships at 4 over 76.

Other Tech players in the top 25 were seniors Sarah Brown and Kimmy Hill, who tied for 24th place at 7 over.

According to the release, the team will find out its NCAA Regionals destination on Monday.

The Regionals start on May 5. The Red Raiders will either play in Birmingham, Alabama, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Stanford, California or College Station to see if they advance to the NCAA Championships starting on May 20.

“It feels amazing and it can’t get any better,” Soares said. “(Alex Sendegeya) being a sophomore and our emotional leader, clinching at the end is amazing and it can’t get any better.”

Soares said the future for Tech tennis is going to be spectacular. With the win, Sendegeya pushed Tech to snap TCU’s 17-match win streak. Tech also finished the season with an undefeated home record.

“This is Texas Tech and we wanted to beat TCU,” Sendegeya said. “That was our motivation. I had to fight as hard as I could for everyone and for Tech.”

Sendegeya said the team wanted to win for the seniors.

Tech coach Brett Masi said he was thrilled about the outcome.

“It’s hard to put into words,” Masi said about the win. “We started here in September, and the guys put in a lot of work and it paid off.”

Tech will compete as the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 Tournament on Friday in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Heading into singles, the Red Raiders and the Horned Frogs battled with neither team having an advantage early on.

He defeated Dojas in two sets, 6-3, 6-2.

Soares then grabbed Tech’s second point of the afternoon by defeating No. 5 Cameron Norrie on court one in two sets, 6-3, 6-4.

Junior Jolan Cailleau fought hard in his match to grab a win in his first set 7-6 (5) then propelled himself to a 6-2 victory in his second set to make the score 3-1 in favor of Tech.

TCU then made things interesting when Trevor Johnson defeated Thomson on court six, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.

With the score at 3-2, Sendegeya and No. 88 Guillermo Nunez had a battle with both competitors through three sets.

Burkhart Center raises awareness

By DAVID GAY Staff Writer

The Burkhart Center for Autism Education and Research hosted an autism awareness weekend consisting of the inaugural Family Center Transition conference Friday and Saturday and the 11th Burkhart Walk for Autism Awareness on Sunday at the John Walker Soccer Complex.

Wes Dotson, interim codirector and director of Outpatient Patient Services at the Burkhart Center, said as the center has grown, it wants to help change the mindset of what people think individuals with autism can do.

The conference consisted of different speakers talking throughout the day, said Deann Lechtenberger, Director of Technical Assistance and Community Outreach for the Burkhart Center. The speakers consisted of people who went through the experiences the participants in the conference went through.

“Each of the speakers who are speaking at the conference is either a parent

with a child with a disability or a person with a disability,” Lechtenberger said.

Lechtenberger and the other staff at the Burkhart Center were surprised to have more than 130 people participate in the conference in the first year, she said. Conferences like this showcase the different services a hub city like Lubbock has for people with autism.

Lubbock has quality medical facilities, Lechtenberger said, but when someone goes 10 or 20 miles from the city, it is more difficult to find quality care for people with autism.

This conference brings different people together from Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma to give them more information and connect them to resources in Lubbock, Lechtenberger said.

Jordan Ryan, a learning specialist for Project Case in the Burkhart Center, said the conference went well. This conference was different than the other conferences he has been to.

“Sometimes I think conferences can focus on the

negative parts of autism,” Ryan said. “(In this conference), we wanted to show people with autism that life does happen past 18. You can have relationships, you can get married, you can graduate from college.”

This goal was part of the vision Lechtenberger had for creating the conference, she said. She wanted to give individuals with autism and their families a voice.

“Part of the vision I had when we first started talking about this was to hear from families and hear from individuals (with) disabilities,” Lechtenberger said. “(We wanted) to hear their voices and what is important to them. We wanted to highlight families who have navigated systems for their family members who have been successful to inspire others to think outside of the box.”

On Sunday, the Autism Awareness Weekend concluded with the annual Burkhart Walk for Autism Awareness.

The walk is meant to spread awareness for autism, which is increasingly affecting families

Participants of the Burkhart Walk for Autism Awareness took laps around the John Walker Soccer Complex on Sunday. Sponsors from around the Lubbock community assisted in hosting the event and raising money for the Burkhart Center for Autism Education & Research on campus. and individuals around the world, Ryan said.

Dotson said this walk is the biggest Autism Awareness event in West Texas.

It brings different families together going through the same situation.

“We do this as a service to the families,” Dotson said. “We want this to feel like a community and realize just how large the

population that is impacted by autism is in West Texas.

It’s a way for families to connect with other families and service providers in a way that is fun.”

The conference and the walk showcase how individuals with autism can live successfully as independent people in society, Dotson said.

Ryan said more people

attended the walk than in previous years.

Clooney joins Armenians to mark anniversary of massacre YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — Actor George Clooney presented a $1.1 million award on the 101st anniversary of a massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks to a Burundi woman who offered sanctuary to thousands of orphans in the middle of a civil war there.

The killing of more than 200 Armenian intellectuals on April 24, 1915 is regarded as the start of the massacre that is widely viewed by historians as the first genocide of the 20th century in which they estimate 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered.

Turkey, the successor to the Ottoman Empire, vehemently rejects that the deaths constitute genocide, saying the toll has been inflated and that those killed were victims of civil war and unrest.

Clooney presented the first Aurora Prize, an award recognizing an individual’s work to advance humanitarian causes, to Marguerite Barankitse, who saved thousands of lives and cared for orphans and refugees amid the Burundi civil war. Armenian philanthropists selected her for the award.

Clooney has been a prominent voice in favor of countries recognizing the killings as genocide, which the U.S. hasn’t done.

Before he presented the award, Clooney reminded the audience that Adolf Hitler once reportedly said: “Who remembers Armenia?” Clooney said: “The whole world.”

“By recognizing Marguerite Barankitse’s courage, commitment and sacrifice, I am hopeful that she can also inspire each one of us to think about what we can do to stand up on behalf of those whose rights are abused and are in most need of our solidarity or support,” Clooney said.

MARCH OF DIMES

Walk raises money for premature babies

By DAVID GAY Staff Writer

The March of Dimes is an organization that raises money for research on premature births and birth defects.

Students and community members came together for the annual March of Dimes March for Babies walk Saturday, which started at the Frazier Alumni Pavilion.

Brittani Kite, community director for the March of Dimes, said other things the March of Dimes supports are education for women on how to be healthy during their pregnancies.

Prematurity in babies is an issue that happens all over the country, Maternal and Child Health Director Amy JohnsonRubio, said. Many of these walks are happening around the country today.

Lubbock has been hosting a March of Babies walk for about 20 years, Johnson-Rubio said.

There is a major reason why Lubbock is hosting a walk.

“Lubbock has a higher pre-

term birth rate than the rest of the state,” Kite said. “Texas has a higher pre-term birth rate than the rest of the country.”

This walk raises about $250,000 for research that helps both moms and babies in the community, Kite said. Different businesses and families come together to raise money to support the cause.

Scott Flores, a Tech alumnus who graduated in 2014, came to the March of Babies for the first time with Plains Capital Bank, he said. Flores believes this is a great cause even though he does not have kids himself.

“I have been around a bunch of kids my whole life,” Flores said. “I have nieces and nephews. I love seeing all that they are able to do. The cause is near and dear to my heart and I don’t even have kids. I understand the importance of research to help these kids.”

Fifty different family teams raised money in the march, either in honor or in memory of a child that was born prematurely, Kite said.

The march moved to Tech four years ago, Kite said. Tech is one of the most beautiful places in Lubbock, and Kite thought it was great to work with the people at Tech.

Moving the walk to Tech gave students like Erick Ramirez, a junior civil engineering major from Dallas, the opportunity to volunteer for the march. Ramirez volunteered with the American Society of Civil Engineers, he said.

“We like to do community service around campus and for the Lubbock community,” Ramirez said. “I feel like it’s important for anyone to get involved in their community.”

Hannah Jones, site coordinator at Cavazos Middle School for Community and Schools of the South Plains, helped with some of her students at a water station along the route. Jones said having the walk at Tech was a great opportunity.

“I really think that Texas Tech has a great opportunity because they have such a vast platform,” Jones said. “Every-

one in Lubbock knows of Texas Tech. It’s an easy place to hold an event like this for the Lubbock community. It helps boost the outlook of what Texas Tech is supportive of.”

Johnson-Rubio said as the

After they received their gifts and gave their speeches, the new Raider Red, suited up in costume and nameless, was brought up to the stage and received the guns from Garcia and Flores to start the new generation of Raider Red. The two recalled some of their favorite moments as Raider Red, which Garcia said was Big 12 Media day and getting to meet all other mascots around

Flores said his favorite moment was being able to travel to his hometown for the Texas Bowl in Houston.

“I know for a fact that I did everything I could, because every time I took off that suit I was absolutely exhausted,” Garcia said. “Every time I know for a fact I left it all out there and I have no regrets whatsoever.”

“The two new guys that we have are great,” Garcia said. “I know for a fact that these guys will do wonders for the program and that the program is in very capable, gloved hands.” @RyanOrtegonDT

Smith began performing one-woman shows in the 1980s entitled “On the Road: A Search for American Character,” according to the release, and her goal was to interview diverse Americans to learn as much as she could about the U.S. Her play “Fires in the Mirror” focused on the race riot in

Crown Heights, Brooklyn, in 1991 between the Black and Jewish communities, according to the release, and the play was a runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize.

The Humanities Center’s 2015-2016 theme is “Synoptics: Epistemologies of the Observer,” according to its website, and it focuses on different perspectives on the same events, and Smith’s performance fits into this theme. @JenRomeroDT

RAIDER RED “There is no greater rush than being able to stand up on the wall of Jones AT&T Stadium basically orchestrating a crowd that’s just screaming and yelling Raider Power,” Garcia said. “It’s one of the most intense feelings ever.”

They both had a chance to speak about their time and experiences as Raider Red and received several rewards and gifts.

“It was very exciting, but at the same time I was very careful on what to do, because Raider Red represents Texas Tech and the community and I just didn’t want to mess up at all,” Flores said. “I wanted to be a good part of it and do everything perfect.”

They received letterman jackets from the Tech Athletic Department, their official class rings from the Tech Alumni Association and a statue of Raider Red for each of them from the Texas Tech Federal Credit Union.

“As often said, athletics is the front door to the university, and we really can’t have two greater greeters at our front porch than Jeremy and Mario,” Ben Montecillo, the assistant director and financial aid for the athletics department, said in his speech to the two. “Thank
