BIG 12 BATTLE RED RAIDERS REMAIN IN CONTENTION TO WIN BIG 12 AS SEASON END APPROACHES

By MAX HENGST

Staff Writer

s the No. 18 Texas Tech baseball team is more than halfway through conference play, the Red Raiders look to take the No. 1 ranking with nine games left against teams in the Big 12.

In the Big 12, No. 22 Oklahoma State sits at the top of the rankings with a 10-5 record against conference opponents, according to the Big 12. No. 21 Baylor ranks second with a 9-5 record after the Red Raiders gave the Bears two losses in their series. The Red Raiders are tied for third in the conference with No. 17 West Virginia as both teams have an 8-7 record in Big 12 play.

Baylor has the best overall record at 27-12, giving them a .692-win percentage, according to the Big 12.

Oklahoma posts a 28-14 record while Tech has a 26-13 overall record, ranking the Red Raiders second in the conference with a .667-win percentage.

Tech has multiple players at the top of the Big 12 individual leaderboards as well.

Senior Cameron Warren leads the conference with 49 RBIs this season and leads by 10, according to Big 12 Statistics. Junior Brian Klein also ranks in the top five, coming in at No. 3 with 37 RBIs,

Sophomore infielder/outfielder Dylan Neuse tips his hat to the crowd following his second home run during game three of the Texas Tech vs Baylor series. As the season comes to a close, Tech sits in third place in the conference standings, trailing Oklahoma State and Baylor. IKECHUKWU DIKE/The Daily Toreador and junior Josh Jung ranks fifth with 36. Warren also has hit the third-most home runs after sending nine out the park.

“We have a lot of confidence (at the plate), one through 13 or 14 guys,” Warren said. “We always know we have a chance to come back, regardless how much we are down or when it is in the game, because we know we can swing the bat.”

Klein is ranked third in the Big 12 with a .366 batting average this season, proving to be effective at the plate, according to Big 12 Statistics. Meanwhile, sophomore Gabe Holt has stolen a conference-leading 22 bases, and

sophomore Dylan Neuse ranks fourth with 13 steals.

Two Red Raiders from the pitching staff rank in the top five in defensive categories. Junior Caleb Kilian is tied with six other pitchers with six wins at the mound.

Freshman Clayton Beeter is also ranked third with six saves at the mound this season.

“It seems (Kilian) stays pitch to pitch and sticking with that process, and that’s really the most important thing,” head coach Tim Tadlock said. “As he does that he’s competing good and throwing three pitches for strikes.”

Summer classes offer benefits, drawbacks

Arrington discusses economy

By MALLORY ROSETTA

By ADÁN RUBIO

As the semester comes to an end, many students are considering whether they should take summer classes to get ahead on their degree plans. There are many pros and cons when it comes to these summer courses.

Catherine Nutter, senior director of university advising, said summer classes are a great way to allow students to move forward.

“If a student is really bound and determined to graduate in four years, summer classes are a good way to get the hours they need ahead of time,” she said. “It helps students better balance the fall and spring semesters.”

Being able to move forward without the overload of extracurriculars and classes in the long term is the main benefit of summer classes, Nutter said.

If a student has not done well in a class and needs a grade replaced, summer can be a good time to do it because it allows more focus on the class.

Agriculture, the state economy and the Mueller Report are topics Texans may want information about as the legislative session is coming to a close.

Jodey Arrington, U.S. Representative for Texas’ 19th congressional district, said agriculture is the state’s economy.

“If you don’t have sustainable small towns in America, you cannot have a vibrant agriculture economy,” he said. “The two are linked. So, my focus was to help support access to basic care in rural communities.”

For the Farm Bill, Arrington said one of his amendments, which strengthened rural healthcare, made it through the legislative process. He said after putting in place the Farm Bill’s safety net, which should be used to help farmers in times of bad weather or volatile markets, Texas needs to open up its markets to provide agriculture commodities to other places.

“We want free and fair trade,” Arrington said. “I’ve now moved to the Ways and Means Committee.

The Ways and Means Committee has jurisdiction over trade, and we’re working on, for example, the new

NAFTA, which is called the USMCA.” Through the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, Arrington said he is hoping to improve trade between these countries. The In- ARRINGTON ternational Trade Commission did an analysis on the USMCA and figured out the U.S. will have an increase of 170,000 new jobs because of the agreement.

In addition to wanting to improve trade, Arrington said he wants to improve healthcare in rural areas. Through working on a piece of legislation with Democrats, effort is being made to improve rural-community hospitals.

Even with the Ogallala Aquifer depletion, Arrington said this issue should not be resolved with the help of the federal government, as all aquifers in Texas are managed by local water district boards, and local producers utilize the aquifers the most. One possible solution to this issue could be the utilization of technology, similar to Israel’s water reuse and desalination systems.

Job burnout in millennials increasing

By ADÁN RUBIO News Editor

With the stress of work, people may experience a detachment from their occupation known as job burnout. For millennials, this disengagement could be more impactful.

Job burnout, according to an article published in the World Psychiatry journal, is when the stress of working prompts a negative psychological response, which can consist of feelings of cynicism and a lack of accomplishment, exhaustion and detachment from one’s job.

Millennials could be more susceptible to job burnout for a variety of reasons.

Feruzan Irani Williams, associate professor of practice in management in the Texas Tech Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration, said people first face stress before experiencing job burnout. Burnout occurs when one’s coping mechanisms for the stress of a job become ineffective.

“It also comes down to what coping mechanisms are

popular in different generations,” she said.

For millennials, Williams said research has shown there is a greater need for work-life balance.

“If you have good balance between your work and your life, your life will help you cope with your job, and your job will help you cope with life,” Williams said. “For the millennial generation, it’s work-life balance which is the big motivator.”

With the presence of job burnout, employers may enact different techniques to help their workers, whether they be millennials or members of previous generations.

Unlimited paid time off is a fad Williams said some organizations are starting to offer their workers to defend against job burnout. She said employees can utilize their unlimited paid time off if they get their job done.

Before this fad, which is a few years old, Williams said there used to be limits to how much paid time off a worker receives. Now, she said unlimited paid time off is meant

to show millennials they are being treated equally among their older peers because they get to determine how much time they take off from work and when they take off from work.

“What research has found that it actually has the opposite effect on employees,” she said regarding how unlimited paid time off could be counteractive for some millennials.

Before access to unlimited paid time off, Williams said millennials had little to no guilt, as an organization would tell them when and how much time they can take off from work.

“However, the organization is telling you you’re the adult, you know what job you need to do. You take as much time off as you want,” she said. “Now, there’s no limit, which means every decision to take paid time off is on me, and so the responsibility for that paid time off is not on the organization.

It’s on me, and I feel guilty taking the time off.”

Even though unlimited paid time off is meant to defend against job burnout, Williams said people, especially millennials, will not take time off, as they may feel guilty they are taking advantage of the organization. She said this guilt could result in millennials taking less time off, which could lead to time off from work being ineffective in preventing burnout.

Trevor Abbo, sophomore

natural resource management major from Detroit, Michigan, said he sometimes feels guilty whenever he has to take time off from work, as he knows it leaves his employer short-handed.

Regarding unlimited paid time off, Abbo said there could be benefits and disadvantages for workers.

“It’s a good way to get people to start working,” he said. “I don’t think it’s necessarily good for the long-run.”

Once a person, especially a millennial, gets a job that offers unlimited paid time off, Abbo said he feels they will take advantage of it.

In addition to taking advantage of time off and the guilt it may bring, there could be other generational differences that may determine why millennials are more susceptible to job burnout.

Randy McBee, professor of labor and social history and associate dean of the Tech College of Arts and Sciences, said the millennial generation differs from previous generations in terms of career goals.

“Probably one of the first generations who are going to make less than their parents make,” he said regarding millennials. “These are the generation of kids who’ve been told if you work hard, and you do well on your SATs, you join the right clubs and what not, you will make it one of these days.”

McBee said tech giants

boasting about their hard work and the money they make is another factor that could lead to overworking and job burnout.

“I think there’s a number of factors that are contributing to this burnout that makes it perhaps different,” McBee said regarding the current generation. “You’ve got this high-tech culture backdrop that holds out the promise of making millions and millions of dollars in ways that wealth wasn’t as extreme in previous decades.”

McBee said some people perceive work as having an intrinsic value.

“It’s not just about I’m

working to have a good house or to pay for my kids to go to college, working itself is something to be valued,” he said.

“The more you do, the more likely you are going to reach that level of success. We know it leads to burnout, we know it doesn’t promote productivity, we know it doesn’t necessarily promote creativity.”

Regardless of why people work, burnout could be a factor that could cause problems.

“Burnout’s been a feature for centuries that workers have faced,” McBee said.

“As work itself has changed, this generation is facing different issues.” @AdanRubioDT

Vet school attempts to meet state need

By ADÁN RUBIO News Editor

With the establishment of the Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine, one may consider its impact and the number of veterinarians in the state.

In 2017, about 4,210 veterinarians were employed in

Texas, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

About 10,570 veterinary technologists and technicians and 5,400 veterinary assistants and laboratory animal caretakers were employed in Texas in the same year.

Because of the lack of veterinarians in Texas’ rural areas, according to the vet school website, the vet school was established. In 2016, there were about 51 to 100 licensed veterinarians in Lubbock County and about 16 to 50 in Potter County.

In 2016, there were approximately 6,600 veterinarians in Texas, according to the vet school website. Most of these veterinarians worked in urban or suburban counties.

Michelle Griffin, general counsel of the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners legal department, said the board deals with the veterinarian licenses in Texas.

“The board issues licenses and then regulates the practice of veterinary medicine,” she said. “We renew licenses on an annual basis and conduct compliance inspections at facilities.”

In 2015, less than 80 percent of veterinary licenses issued by the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners were to graduates from institutions outside of Texas, according to the vet school website.

Regardless of the past or current number of veterinarians in Texas, the vet school could provide different op-

portunities for locals.

Vet school Dean Guy Loneragan said people want to invest in an institution that will positively impact the area for years.

“It will have impact on students, aspiring veterinarians,” he said. “It will have an impact on the livestock community, on rural communities all across Texas for generations to come.”

Through projects, such as the vet school, Loneragan said Tech works to fulfill a need within the community.

“That’s what Texas Tech does so well,” he said. “It is respond to a need and provide access opportunity and affordability to students, and that really is what this program is all about.”

ARRINGTON

the nation’s economy is growing, and the unemployment rate is low. Wages and family income also have increased.

“We have the highest tax on businesses in America than

any country in the developed world,” he said. “We just reduced them, so that we were competitive with others.”

Because of these tax reductions, Arrington said millions of jobs are available to Americans.

“People coming out of Texas Tech and universities across the country actually have real hope to pursue their professional dreams, to make a good career for themselves and their families,” he said. “The answer was reduce the burden that we put on businesses in the form of taxes and regulations.”

Along with the state of the nation’s economy and Texas’ agricultural presence in the U.S., Arrington also discussed the Mueller Report. This report, which was a political investigation of U.S. President Donald Trump possibly coordinating with Russia to interfere in the 2016 Presidential Election, is something he said was unnecessary.

“After two years, $30 million and the resources of the Department of Justice and our intelligence agencies, the most thorough investigation, they found zero colluding and coordinating with Russia and their meddling in our elections,” he said. “That’s a lot of time spent, that’s a lot of taxpayer money spent.”

Regardless of one’s political ideology, Arrington said political bias took place during the investigation of Trump.

“It’s okay, and it’s actually healthy for people to dissent and to debate whether the president’s policies are good for this country or not,” he said. “One of the things that’s wrong with our country right now is that people are putting their political interest above the national interest.”

Collegiate 100 builds presence in community

By MABEL SODEINDE Staff Writer

When Collegiate 100 was first created at Texas Tech in 2010, it was a small men’s professional program with little to no recognition. Today, it has grown to be an all gender inclusive organization with over 40 members who work to make an impact on Tech and the Lubbock communities.

According to the organization’s website, Collegiate 100 was started as part of an outreach program for its larger, already existing parent program, 100 Black Men of America. The organization was created to build professionalism among college-aged men and to create a connection between the younger generation of aspiring professionals and older generation.

The first Collegiate 100 was founded at Prairie View A&M University in 1993, which subsequently led to the founding of multiple C100 divisions on campuses across the United States. C100 was introduced to Tech in 2010 by the West Texas chapter of the 100 Black Men of America to create, mentor and tackle the issue of the lack of African American leaders on campus.

Caleb Morris, president of the organization and a junior English major from Arlington, credits the program for impacting current on-campus leaders in prominent organizations such as the Student Government Association, Black Student Association, Big 12 Black Student Government, Impact, African Students Organization and National Vet Society.

However, Morris said C100 had a rough start.

“When I first came into the organization, we had been threatened with removal on campus because there was a lot of buffoonery

that happened before us,” he said. “(The new executive board and I) came in with $1,500 in debt that we just didn’t know about from the previous group before us. We just had to fight and crawl to where we are now. We didn’t have anything.”

The organization’s tumultuous beginnings spurred Morris and the members of the new executive board to implement a competitive application and selection process for entry into the organization, he said. The application process requires an interview, community service hours, mentoring hours and academic proficiency.

Since we make such a big impact on the kids and they see us every year, I hope it shows them that if we can do it, they can as well.

KOURTNIE NEWTON SOPHOMORE “We had a problem with quantity over quality, we used to be an org with at least 160 members in total, but this year, we went from 125 to 45 to 50 active members on campus,” he said. “We just wanted to have a fresh start, especially with the past that Collegiate 100 has had.”

This decision to rebuild C100 has improved the organization’s impact and upheld its four pillars of mentoring, health and wellness, education and economic development, Morris said.

Isis Robbs, a sophomore human development and family studies major from Dickinson, said she also sits on the executive board as female mentorship chair. Her duty is to lead, consult and bring

France wants to speed up Notre Dame reconstruction PARIS (AP) — France’s government has presented a bill aimed at speeding up the reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral and providing transparency on how huge amounts of donation money for the restoration will be spent.

The bill detailed Wednesday in a weekly Cabinet meeting will allow the government to pass emergency orders regarding Notre Dame and to skip some ordinary renovation procedures. France has very strict, long processes when it comes to renovations of historic monuments.

Still, the measure is sensitive, since some architects and heritage experts have expressed concerns about the quality of the work to be done on the cathedral.

French President Emmanuel Macron has set a goal of rebuilding the cathedral in just five years —which some experts consider simply impossible to reach.

The Notre Dame reconstruction is prompting widespread debate across France, with differing views over whether it should involve new technologies and designs.

mentorship to kids in the Lubbock community in various high schools, middle schools and nonprofit organizations.

Robb said C100’s outreach program has extended to schools and nonprofits such as Talkington School for Young Women Leaders, Dunbar Middle School, Estacado High School, the Boys and Girls Club and Optimist Boys and Girls Club.

Safe Treat is an event and program Robb oversees at the Boys and Girls Club, she said. It promotes safe trick-or-treating for young kids from underprivileged backgrounds in the Lubbock community.

“We go in, decorate haunted houses and we participate, scare the kids and give them candy,” she said. “It’s a really fun experience and allows everyone to connect and build relationships with one another.”

Putting the event on this year proved difficult due to the lack of funding, especially from the Student Government Association, she said.

However, she has seen firsthand Collegiate 100’s role in affecting change in the Lubbock community.

“I had girls last year that would never talk last year that always talk now, I try to help with public speaking skills,” she said. “Going forward now, they’re taking more of an interest by asking me to do community service and social events with them.

Collegiate has seen more community involvement, and we’re bringing more of that family atmosphere to the kids that we mentor and their families too.”

Christian Herrera, a junior nutritional sciences and dietetics major from Dallas and treasurer of the organization, said the executive board has to do a lot of selfadvocacy to host events and fund activities. Due to the

The student organization aims to build professionalism amongst college students. lack of funding from SGA, he said the organization primarily functions using donor money, fundraising and dues from its members.

Herrera said the lack of funding from SGA comes from misinformation. Herrera recalled an experience in which he and the team had prepared weeks in advance to apply for SGA funding, but their application was denied due to a lack of signatures.

“I had everything done early in September and submitted it,” he said. “I ended up getting an email late at night the day before it was due stating that I needed signatures, and I was like I can’t get all these signatures at night, especially because everything is closed on campus. In my mind, it was done on purpose.”

C100’s struggle to obtain funding from SGA is part of a larger issue for most black organizations on campus that do not have as much experience or understanding of the SGA funding process, Morris said.

“You have to think about it. These organizations have been applying for funding for years, and they have ef-

ficient transition systems,” Morris said. “Black orgs are known to not have sufficient transition systems. We don’t even have alumni involved here. I understand that SGA has rules and regulations set in place, but they just need to make it easier for orgs to apply through better communication and adequate help.”

While the organization has faced various obstacles since its creation on campus, it has also set precedents through the introduction of new events and involving Tech students within the Lubbock community.

Kourtnie Newton, a sophomore elementary education major from Dallas who serves as community service chair for C100, said she oversees and helps members reach their community service goals by organizing volunteering events.

“This year we’ve done things at the soup kitchen at Lubbock Impact, Habitat for Humanity, Adopt a Highway, Ronald McDonald House Charities, the Dream Foundation and the Science Spectrum,” she said.

Newton also worked to help create and organize the

first scholarship pageant for black men through C100. She said it was a passion project of hers, because it provided representation for young black men on the homecoming court.

“It was really important to me, because we have pageants like Miss Black TTU to get a black woman on Tech’s homecoming court, and now we have a scholarship pageant that can fund someone’s education, but it also helps with representation of black men on the homecoming court,” she said.

Newton foresees C100 having a larger impact on the Lubbock community and Tech campus, she said, but more specifically on the kids members of the club mentor and volunteer with.

“I’m thinking really long term, and I won’t be here to see it, but I like that our impact on the kids is so big,” she said. “I want to see them feel like they can go to college, and that they will succeed and get their degree. Since we make such a big impact on the kids and they see us every year I hope it shows them that if we can do it, they can as well.” @DailyToreador

Tech veterinary school needed for local communities

M

y name is Weston Cleveland and I am currently a senior studying animal science with a concentration in pre-veterinary studies at Texas Tech University. World Veterinary Day is this Saturday, April 27, which is important to me because it is my dream to become a veterinarian, and is important for my belief in the need for the establishment of Texas Tech’s School of Veterinary Medicine.

I firmly believe veterinarians are the Lord’s shepherds and becoming a vet will allow me to serve the Lord, as well as my community, how I was intended to. My passion for animals and medicine give

Weston Cleveland, President of Pre-Vet Society at Texas Tech

me the unwavering dedication to become the best veterinarian I can possibly be.

I first discovered my passion for working with large animals when I began my job as a feedlot cowboy for Texana Feeders six years ago. In the dead of winter during my first year, I found myself carrying a calf that had nearly frozen to death on horseback and caring for it the rest of the day until it was stable. In that moment I knew no matter what the conditions or circumstances, I would always put the life

of an animal before my own.

I am constantly inspired by the veterinarians I work under. Seeing their work and passion makes me want to become a well-rounded veterinarian and serve my community as well as they do theirs.

Veterinarians are staples of every community. They are looked up to as heroes, leaders, educators and pinnacles of hope. Everyone will need a veterinarian at some point in their life and it is their job to make sure they leave the community with a positive experience.

At Texas Tech, I love how dedicated all of the professors are to making sure we soak

in as much knowledge and information as possible.

All the professors I’ve had in my four years at Texas Tech have set a high standard of excellence for their students. Grades are certainly not given at Texas Tech; they are earned through hard work.

Aside from educating me for my future profession, the professors here at Tech are mentors, and have molded me into the man I am today.

I have become a confident leader willing to tackle any issue because of them, and am fully prepared to learn by whatever means necessary to succeed.

As president of the Pre-

Vet Society student organization on campus, I have the honor of representing over 150 members who all hope to attend veterinary school.

In this role, I constantly hear about the challenges fellow students face with getting into vet school. Two of the biggest concerns are the limited seats available in Texas and the financial burden of attending vet school outside of Texas or the country.

This is why I believe Texas Tech’s School of Veterinary Medicine would help me by bringing my dream of becoming a veterinarian to fruition in an affordable and timely manner. I support the Texas Tech vet school be-

cause it will provide opportunity and hope to thousands of students, like me, who are financially bogged down by being forced to apply to out of state institutions.

A veterinary school in this region will address these issues, which is why I proudly support this initiative and am asking members of the Texas Legislature and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to place their support behind Texas Tech as well. This program will be without a doubt good for Texas, agriculture and the countless Texas students ,like me, who want to follow their passion and serve their community as a veterinarian.

Prescription drug pricing overshadowed in political climate

D

espite partisan divide, an olive branch extends across both sides of the aisle with the initiative of addressing prescription drug pricing.

While the price gouging of the EpiPen and other specialty drugs make national headlines as profit margins soar up to 5,000 percent, millions of Americans’ pocketbooks are in peril over every day over the average prescription drug prices.

Universally accepted as an issue by Republicans and Democrats, something must be done about the prices of

Abigail Wesson, graduate student

pharmaceutical drugs.

Not surprisingly in this political climate, a tumultuous debate persists on how the public sector should intervene.

Sen. Bernie Sanders made headlines highlighting this issue, bussing his constituents to Canada for cheaper prescription drugs where pharmaceutical companies are selling the same drugs to other countries for a fraction of the price Americans pay.

A proposed solution has

been introduced in the Senate which allows pharmacies to sell drugs produced by trusted nations, including Canada. But fear associated with prescription drug importation stemming from over exaggerated dangers of limited Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety regulations often keeps these bills from coming through.

Currently a quarter of the drugs labeled as Americanmade are surprisingly manufactured in plants inspected by the FDA outside of the U.S., contradicting the lack of regulation concerns.

Pharmaceutical companies represent a dominant force in opposition to lowered drug prices for obvious reasons. With millions in lobbying efforts each year, legislators face moral and ethical dilemmas where they must choose to advocate for the companies that fund their campaigns or the best interests of their constituents.

While Democrats appear to lead the charge against the pharmaceutical industry, prominent conservatives, including Ted Cruz, voted for Americans to be able to purchase cheaper prescrip-

tions from Canada. As a part of Trump’s campaign promise to address drug pricing, we are waiting to see if Trump will act in support of public welfare or enact industry recommendations.

Importation represents only one of the potential resolutions to address the public concern of prescription drug prices. Alternative recommendations include amending the process of approving generics, requiring pricing transparency from drug companies, drug advertisement restrictions, allowing the government to negotiate the

prices of Medicare-covered drugs and amending FDA regulations.

Pharmaceutical drug pricing is an issue that affects millions of Americans every day. Will Congress act to address this issue and enact meaningful legislation, or will they allow the American public to just be caught in the cross-fire of partisan warfare? As long as more headline-worthy partisan news coverage continues to overwhelm media outlets, it’s hard to predict when, or if our policymakers will rise to the occasion.

of individualism. From Alexis de Tocqueville to John Locke to Immanuel Kant, individualism has had a variety of definitions and frameworks that have changed throughout the years since its introduction and rise to prominence during the 19th century.

As we move through the 21st century, individualism continues to be pervasive, but there is also another trend in American society — the individual has become extremely self-deprecating and engaged in an intense amount of selfdirected negative thoughts.

The norm of self-perception has skewed deeply toward harshness about oneself that proves hard to overcome, even with all the self-help methods that have come forward.

While the implications of individualism have long been debated amongst political theorists, what is perhaps less understood is the connection between American individualism and the modern relationship of the individual with themselves, especially their self-perception.

Where does a system of

societal interaction connect with the relationship one has with themselves? Karl Marx may have an answer.

One of the most prominent features of Marx’s framework for understanding society was the relationship between what is called the base and superstructure.

Simply put, the base refers to the structure of production — including the relations between all people involved in production, the work they do, the materials and processes of production, exchange and other elements; the superstructure refers to the structure of the rest of society, including culture, ideology and so on.

Marx argues the structure of an economic system provides the basis in which society itself grows. The patterns that develop through the course of economic structures begin to bleed into things such

as law, media, family and religion. This societal structuring then acts to affirm or justify the economic system it grew from; thus, the cycle continues as the system of economy and society becomes more entrenched.

To understand the connection between societal psyche and personal perception in America, we must peel it back to the capitalism that lies underneath.

One of the largest emphases of the American thread of individualism is of the individual inside the capitalist system. One has the choice of products to buy, positions to work in and so on. Many praise the free market as the logical and sole companion to individualism, even going as far as to say it is necessary for a society to truly empower the individual.

Competition is an integral component to the mechanisms of capitalism.

The goal of a corporation — in which one organization owns the means to produce goods — is to create as much profit as possible.

A method of doing this is

to both take labor from an individual at a price lower than it is worth, and then in efforts to reduce that price even more, put that person’s labor in competition with another’s, as described by Economics Online.

Marx describes the process of pitting laborers against each other as an element of alienation. Through pitting themselves against each other for work, laborers become isolated from each other. In economic terms, this process is also repeated with one’s connection to their labor and to their essence as a laborer.

This cycle of alienation is replicated until the worker is essentially stripped of their understanding of their own worth in the production process. They see themselves as only as valuable as someone is willing to buy their labor, not as immensely necessary to production itself.

Where this bleeds into society is how individualism interacts with selfworth. American society is insistent about the importance of individual but

only accepts an individual as good if they contribute to expected standards.

We feel forced to compete with each other over things like beauty and popularity.

Many individuals are dissatisfied because they do not feel as though they comply with the expected standards and thus begin to view themselves as unworthy.

In the landscape of American Individualism, we are so separated and in competition with others that we begin to lose confidence in ourselves.

We have learned to evaluate ourselves for our contributions and worth to other people and not our inherent value as human beings.

While there are some remedies to the seemingly insurmountable problem that accompanies American individualism — such as eastern lifestyles — there is an underlying system of behavior that makes it difficult for one to exist both in a capitalist system and free from the burdens of its emphasis on competition. @DailyToreador

CAMPUS

Denim Day raises sexual assault awareness

By SHELBY LITZKOW Staff Writer

National Denim Day is dedicated to sexual assault awareness every year on April 24. On this day, people are encouraged to wear denim clothing to show their support for victims of rape and sexual assault.

Risk Intervention and Safety Education (RISE) helps promote this day at Texas Tech and partakes in giving buttons and stickers for students to wear on campus.

Kelsey Lueck, program manager at RISE with a specialty in sexual violence prevention, said Denim Day has existed for the past 20 years.

In the 1990s, the Italian Supreme Court ruled a young woman’s rapist was not guilty because she had been wearing tight jeans at the time of the assault and “she would’ve had to help him take off her jeans,” which is assuming she was giving consent, Lueck said.

SUMMER

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 The biggest concern about summer classes, Nutter said, is the new academic policy the school has put in place in which students can be suspended after summer if they have been on academic warning and probation during the fall and spring semesters.

Summer classes have proven to be mostly beneficial to students in the past, because they have been able to handle the fast pace and heavy workload, Nutter said.

Her main advice to students is to not procrastinate and to meet with advisers before moving forward.

“Focus. Please focus – that summer class has to be your primary responsibility,” she said. “And go see your adviser, that’s the most important thing. They know what’s best for you.”

Maggie Jacobs, a sophomore nutrition and dietetics major from Lubbock, said she took a chemistry class last summer but had to drop out due to medical reasons. However, she said she wished she could have stayed and completed the class, because it would have helped her move forward in school.

“I was taking summer

“We understand that if a perpetrator has a mission they can get any type of clothing off, jeans will not stop them,” she said.

Rape is not something that is ever asked for based on what one is wearing or not wearing, she said. There is no implying consent either, it is a verbal conversation.

“In the past three or so years that RISE has existed, we’ve made buttons and stickers to be able to give to offices, departments, students to help show why they stand together with survivors of sexual assault,” she said.

Denim is the clothing choice for this day for many reasons, she said. It is a universal material most cultures wear or know of, and it is easy for everyone to come out and wear that specific clothing. It also references the Italian Supreme Court’s ruling in 1990.

Consent can be revoked at any point in time, even if people got their jeans off and then realized that was not

what they wanted, she said.

“This is an extremely hard topic to talk about, because we know that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 16 men statistically in the United States are sexual assaulted,” Lueck said.

This day makes it a little easier to have those hard conversations, she said.

Someone wearing jeans on Wednesday with a sticker that supports sexual assault awareness can cause other people to ask why and start those talks.

This helps to form friendships as well and show people the different allies who are in the community, she said.

It can become a bonding moment for people and create feelings of unity, love and respect on campus.

“There are many people who have been sexually assaulted or raped and haven’t had powerful people in their life to sit down with them and say your feelings are valid, how do we make sure you can be the best version of yourself even though somebody has

taken advantage of you,” Lueck said.

This is a prevalent subject that impacts many people, she said, so the Tech campus needs strong people, such as those working at RISE, to sit and listen.

“I want students to be able to realize how to have awesome, supportive, consensual sex versus what it is when someone is utilizing sex as a vessel of criminal activity,” Lueck said.

Annie Saathoff, a sophomore interior design major from San Antonio, said sexual assault is a problem most people do not take seriously.

It is something that happens more than people expect or think it does, which makes it even more dangerous and scary to think about, she said.

“I think it’s common for me and my friends to think like, ‘Oh, it will never happen to us,’ but really it has happened to so many people around us, and you just never know,” Saathoff said.

school to relieve some of my workload for the upcoming year and to get a more difficult course out of the way,” Jacobs said. “It just wasn’t for me during that season of life.”

professors can make (summer classes) miserable.”

Altogether Jacobs said summer classes are a good idea if the student has the time and willingness to commit, but it is not for everybody.

“Some classes are better to take during the semester, and some are better taken over the summer,” Jacobs said. “That really comes down to how each individual specifically learns.”

Lisa Low, a professor of public relations in the College of Media and Communication, said she chooses to have her classes available during the summer, not only because she enjoys teaching them, but also because she gets to focus on a smaller group of students.

“You get to know each other in a way that’s different than you would get to in a normal 16-week semester,” she said.

Some benefits of summer courses, Low said, include being able to become fully immersed in the course rather than being distracted by other classes. They also help keep students on track and keeps Low in “the groove “of teaching, she said.

While the courses are fun, they are also a lot of work, and Low said she has seen students who are unable or unwilling to put in the time to get the work done. It is hard to successfully crunch 16 weeks of a class into five weeks, but Low said she tries her best to communicate this ahead of time.

“We can’t just say we’ll only cover half of the topics because the semester is shorter, that’s just not the way it works,” she said. “The perception is that summer courses are easier, but they are not.”

Focus. Please focus - that summer class has to be your primary responsiblity.

CATHERINE NUTTER UNIVERISTY ADVISING Some of the pros of summer classes include the quickness, cheapness and ease of accessibility, Jacobs said. It is also easier to find people to study with, because the lectures are not as big and students have a more one-on-one relationship with professors.

However, some cons include a lack of flexibility and a high workload, as well as having a limited time to bring grades up if a one is not doing well. Jacobs said her biggest con was the lack of a strong professor teaching her course.

“He was extremely intelligent but struggled to communicate the material in a way that his class could understand,” she said. “Bad

Red Raiders selected as regional 10-seed

By IKECHUKWU DIKE

Digital Content Manager The Texas Tech women’s golf team will be the 10-seed in the Norman Regional of the 2019 NCAA Division I Women’s Golf.

Other teams competing in the regional include 1-seed Texas, 2-seed Wake Forest, 3-seed Florida, 4-seed Arizona State, 5-seed Oklahoma, 6-seed Texas Christian University, 7-seed Peppercorn, 8-seed Purdue, and 9-seed Ole Miss, according to NBC Golf.

The Norman Regional will take place May 6-8 in Oklahoma and be played at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club in Norman, according to the NCAA. Coach Jojo Robertson said hearing the team announced during the selection show on Wednesday was great for the team.

BASEBALL

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Tech has multiple players at the top of the Big 12 individual leaderboards as well.

Senior Cameron Warren leads the conference with 49 RBI this season, as he leads by 10 RBI, according to Big 12 Statistics. Junior Brian Klein also ranks in the topfive, coming in at number three with 37 RBI and junior Josh Jung ranks fifth with 36 RBI. Warren also has hit the third-most home runs after sending nine out of the park.

“We have a lot of confidence (at the plate), one through 13 or 14 guys,” Warren said. “We always know we have a chance to come back, regardless how much we are down or when it is in the game because we know we can swing the bat.”

Klein is ranked third in the

“We’re so young. We’ve got three that have never played in this, and one senior who wants more than anything to go to nationals her last year,” Robertson said. “So, just to see our names up there (in the selection) is a good feeling. They’ve worked hard this year to get this far.”

The team has performed well thus far in the 2019 season, she said, and they are looking to improve through the postseason.

“I’m really excited with the way the team has played,” Robertson said. “We’ve had a week already of good practice, and I like the way we’re improving. It hasn’t really shown up so much in scores and finishes in tournaments, but each player has done a good job all spring.”

The team has six players competing for five positions in the regional tournament.

Robertson said the team has been competitive and it is always a good thing.

“It’s going to be fun, this next week and a half, to see what happens and watch our team keep getting better,” she said.

Sophomore Sofia Garcia will be joining the team in the Norman regional after an injury that forced her to sit out for the bulk of the 2018 season. Robertson said Garcia’s determination to come back and her commitment is amazing.

“Sofia is amazing,” Robertson said. “To watch her get hurt last year after our very first tournament and sit out the entire year and fight back and be better now than she ever was is incredible.”

Battling an injury last season was a challenge, Garcia said.

“My injury took me out for

six months until I actually could play,” Garcia said. “It took almost a full year to kind of get used to being in competition and kind of feel like my game was there again.”

Sometimes, Garcia said she forgets she was injured last season. She has confidence in her team and in herself moving forward.

“I think they are getting more comfortable in what they have to do and enjoy this journey,” she said. “Thinking about that, we have good chances to do something good in this regional.”

If the Red Raiders can advance past the regional round, they will be eligible to compete in the National Championship set to take place from May 17-22 at the Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Arkansas, according to the NCAA.

Big 12 with a .366 batting average this season, proving to be effective at the plate, according to Big 12 Statistics. Meanwhile, sophomore Gabe Holt has stolen a conference-leading 22 bases and sophomore Dylan Neuse ranks fourth with 13 steals.

Two Red Raiders from the pitching staff ranked in the top-five in defensive categories. Junior Caleb Kilian is tied with six other pitchers in the conference with a conference-leading six wins at the mound. Freshman Clayton Beeter is also ranked third with six saves at the mound this season.

“It seems (Kilian) stays pitch to pitch and sticking with that process and that’s really the most important thing,” head coach Tim Tadlock said. “As he does that he’s competing good and throwing three pitches for strikes.”

Starting Big 12 play, Tech played its first conference

series against Texas on March 15-17, losing the series opener and finale, but junior Caleb Kilian pitched his career-high 7.0 innings and only gave up one win, helping the Red Raiders defeat the Longhorns 3-1, according to Tech Athletics. The 2-1 series loss to the Longhorns was the first series loss for the Red Raiders.

Tech bounced back with a 2-1 series win against Kansas State in Manhattan, Kansas, after winning both games in a doubleheader on March 30 and losing to the Wildcats by one run on March 31, according to Tech Athletics. In the doubleheader, the Red Raiders earned 23 hits, 15 runs and 14 RBIs to lead them to 11-4 and 4-3 wins.

Kansas traveled down to Lubbock to face Tech for a three-game series, the Red Raiders’ first Big 12 home series of the season, according to Tech Athletics. The

Red Raiders were on track to sweep the Jayhawks after winning the first two games, 5-4 and 19-4, but they suffered a 13-9 loss in the series finale. Senior Cameron Warren hit his first home run against a conference team in the second game of the series.

After the series, Tadlock said the offense was starting to find its rhythm in the lineup.

“I like (the batting lineup) the way it is,” Tadlock said after the Kansas series. “You look at matchups, you look at numbers, it all kind of goes in the equation, you just don’t always get it right.”

The Red Raiders lost their second Big 12 series after losing two straight games to West Virginia but winning the series finale, 3-0, according to Tech Athletics.

The series finale win came after Kilian threw his first complete-game shutout.

He was on the mound for 9.0 innings and gave up two hits, no walks and retired 19-straight batters. He also matched his career-high nine strikeouts.

In the most recent series against Baylor, the Red Raiders lost their first game against the Bears in the 11th inning, 11-10, but came back to win the next two games, 3-2 and 13-3.

In the series finale, the Red Raiders won by a run-rule in the seventh inning after sophomore Dylan Neuse recorded a grand slam and a two-run homer. Sophomore Cody Masters also helped the Red Raiders win the second game of the series with a walk-off RBI in the bottom of the ninth.

“They’re all big,” Tadlock said. “Big 12 weekends are tough. We don’t take it for granted, that we won a Big 12 weekend here against Baylor.

I got a lot of respect for coach (Steve) Rodriguez and his staff.”

The Red Raiders have three more series against Big 12 teams, playing No. 22 Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and TCU to finish conference play for the regular season.
