Raising Awareness

Governor hopefuls vow focus on schools AUSTIN (AP) — Before Gov. Rick Perry ratified the most sweeping changes to Texas classrooms in a decade last summer, he summoned to his office the architect behind the major reforms known as House Bill 5, frowning at parts of a testing overhaul that he never sought.

“He was certainly paying attention,” Republican state Rep. Jimmie Don Aycock recalled. “Now whether (education) was a major emphasis of his administration, that’s for the public to judge.”

Many take the view that it wasn’t, but Perry’s successor might make schools a clear focus.

Burkhart Center hosts annual walk for autism

By KAYLIN MCDERMETT The Burkhart Center for Autism Education and Research hosted its annual Walk for Autism Awareness Sunday at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Wes Dotson, with the Burkhart Center, said the walk is aimed at raising autism awareness in the Lubbock community, as well as providing a support system for families affected by autism.

“The purpose of this walk is really about awareness and community,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for everyone touched by autism in the area to come together, to show their support for autism and just to help build that community.”

The Burkhart Center’s mission is to increase the quality of life for individuals with autism and their families by providing services, preparing educators and conducting research, according to the center’s website.

The walk took place on the field of Jones AT&T Stadium as thousands joined together to support and educate those affected by autism, despite windy and dusty conditions.

Dotson said the weather was a threat to the walk this year, but it still saw a large turnout equal to previous years.

ago if any people would be here,” he said. “We typically have 3 to 4,000.

It’s probably close this year. We have no way to count, because there’s just so many, but we’re happy.”

Along the edge of the stadium’s field were various tables and booths set up by different organizations across the Lubbock community. Education centers, pediatric care facilities and even restaurants set up informational tables to educate and support those affected by autism.

Dotson said this event is an opportunity for families wanting to know more about autism to learn and receive help from the various services in Lubbock.

“The really cool thing about this is that this is one of the few times that people are able to come here and a lot of the people providing services in the area are here,” Dotson said. “The school districts are here, and so a family that may be new to autism, or have a new diagnosis, or just want to learn more can come here and there are a lot of different folks they can meet.”

Many people participating in the walk form teams in order to support individuals close to them with autism or just to support those with autism across the community as a whole.

Lubbock wells run dry as cotton irrigation starts LUBBOCK (AP) — On the arid plains of West Texas, years of drought have taken a toll. Reservoirs have run dry. Some are at historic lows. And now, in some places north of Lubbock, homeowners have no water at all.

“Any water that gets into the house, we carried in — in buckets,” Nancy Hubbard, a homeowner whose well has run dry, told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.

The situation has been the same each spring for the past five years, when the drought began and scarcely has let up since.

For weeks at a time, when cotton farmers irrigate their fields, Hubbard and about two dozen other homeowners have no water in their wells.

Jim Conkwright, former general manager for the High Plains Underground Water District, said the farmers are not breaking any rules. They simply have deeper wells, and water runs to the deepest point.

“They’ve got some unique circumstances in that area; the water is in caverns,” Conkwright said.

The caverns, though, are deep underground and part of the Ogallala Aquifer, a crucial water source that runs through several states and has been severely depleted in areas of Texas where it recharges slowly due to the dense rock formations.

The 16th annual Blue Ribbon Rally Car and Bike Show was hosted Saturday in the Depot District as part of National Child Abuse Prevention month.

Proceeds from the event went toward funding Lubbock’s Family Guidance and Outreach Center, a nonprofit agency that provides free services to promote healthy family lives and preventing child abuse, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador.

Blue ribbons were passed out to attendants by the staff and volunteers of the outreach center.

Jana Melvin, a graduate public administration student from Jena, La., and program intern at the Family Guidance Outreach Center, said the blue ribbons were passed to remind people of the outreach center’s purpose.

ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

“The whole purpose of our agency is to raise awareness for child abuse prevention and neglect,” she said. “April is child abuse prevention month so the blue ribbons are to remind people of the purpose of our agency.”

Melvin said the Blue Ribbon Rally is important for the outreach center.

“As of right now it’s our only fundraising event for the year,” she said.

“We do get grants and stuff like that, but this event raises the funds for our agency for the year.”

She said the event also allows the Lubbock community to become involved with the Family Guidance and Outreach Center.

“Our agency is a small agency so as far as the whole community is concerned, I don’t think they are very aware of it,” she said. “It is a great event for the community to get involved with our agency and raise awareness for the agency itself.”

Miley Cyrus, Pope Francis and Hassan Rouhani are some of the people on this year’s TIME 100 list, and alongside them is Katharine Hayhoe, an associate professor and the director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech.

The TIME 100 is a list of the most influential people in the world, and has been published annually for the last 11 years, according to a previous article from The Daily Toreador.

“Human caused climate change is as real as the nose on your face. Over the Earth there are 26,500 indicators of a globally warming planet,” Hayhoe said. “I am encouraged to see here that climate change is emerging as an urgent concern.”

According to the TIME profile, she was chosen because she is a “smart person who defies stereotype.”

Hayhoe is a climatologist and an evan-

gelical Christian, according to the profile, and the mix allows her to be both a good steward of the planet and protect it, as well as the science behind what is happening to it.

HAYHOE “I get asked all the time if I believe in climate change. I say no,” she said. “To me, the book of Hebrews in the Bible defines belief of faith as the evidence of things not seen. I know the climate is changing. I don’t believe it is so.”

Hayhoe’s research is climate-centered and she said she and other scientists have gone through records to eliminate other possible causes of warming.

ROTC 5K honors veterans

By TRAVIS MABRY Staff Writer

Last weekend, the Texas Tech ROTC Department hosted their second 5K to help benefit the South Plains Honor Flight Chapter.

J.W. Jolly, a Navy veteran, said he enjoyed the event.

“My deal is that we are all vets and I like the camaraderie between the other vets and each other,” Jolly said. “We are all veterans, and we all were on the same deal.”

He said there was a great turnout at the event and he enjoyed the support from Tech students.

“Even with these ROTC guys, they haven’t made it yet, but they are going to,” Jolly said. “They have the same desire as we did, so I’m going to support them.”

He said he wanted to encourage all of the kids in ROTC and visit with them.

“They didn’t treat me like an old man and I didn’t treat them like kids,” Jolly said. “We were all on the same page and we all treated each other the same way.”

According to a news release from the Tech ROTC department, the proceeds from the run will fund a trip to Washington D.C. to allow veterans to see their respective memorials and pay respects to their comrades who died fighting for freedom.

ALEX KATERS LEADS a group of ROTC students through the second annual Army ROTC 5k on Saturday outside of the Jones AT&T Stadium.

Brian Franks, a Navy veteran, said he also enjoyed the event because of the support and unity it offered the soldiers in attendance.

“My main thing was the camaraderie,” Franks said. “I don’t care if you were in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm or Desert Storm II, it’s the fact that there is a line that goes through all

of those and that is something.”

He said being in the armed forces creates a brotherhood, and the race allowed those in attendance to reunite with their brothers and friends.

“We give each other a hard time, but when it comes down to brass tax, when it comes down to conflict, we stand together no matter which war or what

the situation is,” Franks said.

Another thing he said he enjoyed was seeing all of the Tech students come out to support the veterans.

“The run was great,” Franks said, “because the kids were so respectful and honorable to us and I really enjoyed seeing that.” ➤➤tmabry@dailytoreador.com

Center hosts 44th annual Ranch Day

By TRAVIS MABRY Staff Writer

HUNTER GARCIA, A Lubbock native, demonstrates to Keeva Weeks, a Lubbock native, how ranchers in the late 18th and early 19th century would mix mud for repairing small holes in houses.

The National Ranching Heritage Center hosted its 44th annual Ranch Day celebration Saturday.

Julie Hodges, the Helen DeVitt Jones manager of education for the National Ranching Heritage, said she played a key role in organizing and coordinating the event.

“This year is the 44th annual Ranch Day and it has been going on since the ‘70s,” Hodges said. “It was started to have an event where the public could come out and learn more about ranching and the importance of conserving the structures that are out here, but also the cowboy way of life.”

She said she thinks it’s a great event for families because there are demonstrations as well as games for kids about the old West.

“I think for Ranch Day, it’s just a matter of taking away a piece of our heritage and what it means to live in this part of the world,” Hodges said, “and what it was like in ways to be a cowboy and to live in this place as one of the first settlers.”

Those involved with the center enjoy having many volunteers for events like this one, she said.

The blue ribbon event featured more than 55 local vendors, 250 cars, 100 motorcycles and live music, according to the Blue Ribbon Rally website. A 2014 Harley Davidson Softail Breakout was also raffled off at the event, according to the website.

Lynette Wilson, executive director of the Family Guidance and Outreach Center, said the event has experienced great growth since its inception.

“We started 16 years ago as the

trian team and the Therapeutic Riding Center out here helping,” Hodges said.

To volunteer, students can visit the center’s website, or they can make donations anytime, she said.

Ranch Day is a living history educational event which began in the 1970s at the National Ranching Heritage Center, according to a TechAnnounce.

More than 100 ranch hosts and special event participants recreate authentic settings reflective of ranching from the 1780s to the present, according to TechAnnounce.

Thad Brock, a sophomore public relations and business management major from Henrietta and a volunteer from the Saddle Tramps, said he enjoyed the opportunity to help serve the community by participating in Ranch Day. “The Saddle Tramps help out with events like this every year, and we were asked to come back again this year,” Brock said.

He said the Saddle Tramps participated in events and engage the kids in order to take some of the pressure off the parents.

“I’ve enjoyed helping kids learn about the West Texas region’s heritage,” Brock said, “as well as helping them learn about how the Lubbock community was started.” ➤➤tmabry@dailytoreador.com

Wilson said the Family Guidance and Outreach Center has focused on increasing awareness throughout the month of April about child abuse.

“All month we heighten awareness that it shouldn’t hurt to be a child,” she said. “We want people to become aware of any child that might be abused or neglected in any way and report that to the authorities.” ➤➤dgaytan@dailytoreador.com

Students add beauty to Texas Tech campus

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

Texas Tech is involved in Arbor Day every year, according to the Tech Student Union and Activities website, and students, faculty and staff plant flowers and other vegetation across campus.

At the Arbor Day planting Friday, more than 100 organizations registered to volunteer, according to the website, and the groups were spaced in 28 areas around campus.

Ty Vaughn, a junior business administration major from Frisco, volunteered with the Saddle Tramps.

“The Saddle Tramps have been coming out to Arbor Day for many years now, and it’s one of the traditions we do in the spring,” he said. “It’s a big event on the Tech campus, so we want to make an appearance. We love to volunteer, and we have a lot of fun out here.”

Arbor Day events started with the opportunity to make a reusable bag at 11 a.m. at Memorial Circle.

Alex Sanchez and The Kill Time Conspiracy played live music from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m., and students received free food and a T-shirt with their Tech I.D. Shawn Ecroyd, a freshman mechanical engineering major from Houston, planted flowers by the Marsha Sharp Center for Student Athletes with the Tech men’s lacrosse team.

“The whole celebration was really fun,” he said. “It was funny because when the rock band showed up, everyone started going away. When there were speakers talking again, everyone collaborated towards the center again. It was pretty funny and an overall good day.”

The planting began at 1:30 p.m., and staff members provided tools to each group of volunteers and watched

over their work.

Ryan Pippin, a senior electronic media and communications major from Monahans, volunteered with the Catholic service fraternity Chi Rho. “We wanted to come out and volunteer because we’re a service fraternity,” he said. “We’re all just a big group of friends, and we love hanging out together. What better way to volunteer than by getting out here and building a bond with each other.”

The volunteer groups were placed next to other organizations they may not have known, and Ecroyd said the lacrosse team was next to the Raider Special Olympics Texas volunteers.

Vaughn has volunteered in previous Arbor Day events, and he said this year was the first time he planted in a new location.

“The experience was very different because normally we’re planting over by

Will Rogers, so being over by the east side of the administration building was a bit of change,” he said. “It was a beautiful day on campus, and the guys seemed to have great morale. It was nice.”

This is the fourth Arbor Day Pippin has volunteered in, and said he continues to participate because it is a fun event every year.

Arbor Day is a good volunteer event because it is important to give back to the Earth that gives so much, Ecroyd said, and people have to support what resources the planet has left.

“We take such pride in how beautiful our campus is, and Arbor Day speaks to how much we want to maintain that image,” Vaughn said. “Lubbock doesn’t have a lot of greenery, so it’s fulfilling to say you added beauty somewhere. Seeing the student body out here is really indicative of how much pride we all have.” ➤➤jromero@dailytoreador.com

Dance marathon fundraises for charity organization

By HANNAH HIPP Staff Writer

An eight-hour dance marathon might sound crazy, but for the RaiderThon workers, it was an opportunity to help the community and have a blast.

RaiderThon was hosted all day Saturday in the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center.

“I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday,” Chelsie Young, a senior biochemistry major from Carlsbad, N.M., said.

The event is a fundraiser for patients at the Children’s Miracle Network at the University Medical Center, she said.

The volunteers were on their feet for eight hours straight dancing and celebrating their accomplishments for the year.

“This is not only our last fundraising push for the end of the year,” she said, “but it’s also a way for us to celebrate the money we have raised throughout the year.”

Last year’s event raised more than $37,000, according to the

RaiderThon website.

This year’s goal was to raise more than $50,000, Young said.

“It’s our thing,” she said. “We are going to dance for kids who can’t, and we’re going to raise more money while we do it.”

Alyssa Edstron, a senior public relations major from Trophy Club, was the director of the event.

The event is for a great cause, she said, and the dance marathon is a way for Texas Tech students to give back.

“I think it’s important that we give back to the hospital that is so close to our college town and our university,” Edstron said.

Along with dancing, Raiderthon featured 3-on-3 basketball, Zumba, freeze tag and other activities to keep volunteers occupied, according to the website.

Every hour a miracle family story was featured, Edstron said.

“Each hour they focus on a different family,” she said, “that has been helped from our hospital.”

The Children’s Miracle Network

operates through the University Medical Center, which is a part of Tech Health Sciences Center.

Because of the relationship with the campus, Edstrom said, the students should do their best to help out.

“This is a great way to give back to our home away from home,” she said, “and something so closely related to our community.”

There have been other fundraisers throughout the year, Young said, such as chocolate sales, a 5k fun run and various garage sales.

The whole goal has been to get Tech students involved, she said.

“I think as many students as possible should get involved,” Young said. “We want to make this a lasting tradition.”

The final hour of RaiderThon was “power hour,” Young said, when the final total raised throughout the year was revealed.

Young was excited for the reveal, she said, but mostly excited to know she had been a part of raising money.

“When we see our total at the end of the year, it’s great to know that I could be a part of something like that for these kids,” she said.

The goal for next year is to have 600 students or more involved, Edston said.

Students can go to the RaiderThon website to learn more about getting involved and find contact information.

“We want students to be pumped about it,” Edston said, “and to know who we are.” ➤➤hhipp@dailytoreador.com

People should not forget to be happy in pursuit of happiness

By JENA SAUBER

The cOllegian (kanSaS STaTe U.)

Until now, we’ve spent most of our lives preparing for what’s next. We go to kindergarten so we can be prepared for elementary school. We go to elementary school so we can advanced through junior and high school. Now, we are in college with the intent to graduate, become productive members of the professional world and achieve the “American dream” of a career, family and happiness.

But, in that relentless pursuit of success and happiness, it’s important to critically consider what you are actually striving for and how you mark when you’ve got there.

People can spend decades pursuing a theoretical situation of complete happiness; where everything in life has aligned perfectly – their job, their house, their income, their family, their social life, their stress level, their possessions, the list could go on. To our junior high selves, maybe it was starting high school where everything would be easy and acne-free. To our high school selves, maybe it was starting college and getting away from our hometowns. As college students, maybe it is getting a job and starting a successful career in a new, exciting city. There always seems to be the next “When I _____, everything will be great” statement in life, and we hope and believe that when we accomplish the next “When” chapter, we will finally be completely happy.

Always chasing the next best thing reminded me of the children’s book “There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.” As a kid, I remember listening to the book as the “old lady” swallowed a fly, and then a spider to catch the fly and then a bird to catch the spider that swallowed the fly. She continued to swallow progressively larger animals until she swallowed a horse. And then she died, “of course.”

Like the “old lady” did in the children’s story, it can be easy to start chasing the next best thing that we think will remedy all of our “problems,”

whether it is a spider, a bird, a job, a spouse or something else. But, the old lady’s eagerness to blindly push ahead made her miss what was in front of her; in her case, it was swallowing a fly, which is arguably undesirable, but much better than swallowing a horse and dying.

People do let their goal obtainment affect the happiness in severe ways. A study conducted at Princeton University found that happiness peaks when people are in their mid-20s, and not again until their mid-to-late 60s – skipping most of the average person’s life.

Youthful happiness and optimism wanes over time, the study said, as people realize some of their dreams aren’t going to be fulfilled. Maybe they will never be able to afford that dream yacht they always wanted, or maybe they will never quit their 9-to-5 job and become a freelance artist like they’d always dreamed. That doesn’t stop people from relentless pursuing the “next big thing,” but spending so much time searching for the next “When I … ” level of happiness can be exhausting.

By the time people approach 70 years old, they are better equipped to deal with regret or missed changes, the study said, and overall happiness improves. Perhaps this is when people stop fighting for the next “When I … ” and take the time to reflect and enjoy life just as it is.

Of course, setting goals in life is great; they are imperative for progress.

But it can be problematic when goal obtainment becomes the sole focus in life and the only measurement of success and happiness. If we continuously think that we will be happy when “situation x, y or x” happens, we lose track of the ability to be happy in the moment with exactly what we have – nothing more, nothing less.

So chase your dreams and goals, but remember to enjoy what you have now. Don’t put off your happiness until you get “the job,” or move to “the city,” or meet “the special someone.” Don’t spending your life so intently waiting for something “better” that you miss the wonderful things you have now.

“

versation, but it won’t get him out of the primary. But if Bush does win the nomination, the GOP is doomed.

Until President Barack Obama took office, a member of either the Bush or Clinton families held the presidency for 20 years. With Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democratic nominee, a Clinton versus Bush election wouldn’t generate much excitement for either party.

Clinton seemed to be the frontrunner in 2008 until Obama swept in and took the Democratic Party by storm.

He was a fresh face with much less political history, and he trounced Clinton and GOP nominee John McCain. If the Republicans want

Liberals aren’t supporting (Jeb) Bush because he’s the most electable.

They support him because he’s the most beatable.

to win in 2016, they need to do something similar.

Paul is that type of candidate.

Though some have characterized him as extreme, including McCain calling him a “wacko bird,” Paul is the perfect candidate to not only excite the conservative base, but also win over independent voters.

The last thing the GOP needs is another run-of-the-mill candidate who talking heads hail as a “moderate.” Romney was a moderate, and he lost. George W. Bush was very much a moderate in the sense that he was not fiscally conservative in the slightest, and not very many people have viewed his presidency as a success.

Paul is a moderate in a very different sense. He espouses some of the libertarian views of his father, former Rep. Ron Paul, but he’s not so libertarian as to scare the conservative base.

Many were critical of George W. Bush’s foreign policy, and Paul would be a refreshing change from the typical neoconservative

“America as the world police” viewpoint. He has been critical of the War in Iraq and the motives behind it, which is why some of the old-school Republicans are trying to avoid him.

But Paul’s departure from the traditional GOP foreign policy and strong allegiance to the Constitution and individual liberty is the shot in the arm the GOP needs in 2016. Nominating the same type of candidate over and over again has gotten the party nowhere.

The Democrats went with a fresh new candidate in 2008, and he’s still in the White House today. With the Democrats likely reverting to a tired old candidate in 2016 with Clinton, the time is right for the GOP to nominate someone new and take the country by storm. Rand Paul, not Jeb Bush, is that candidate.

E-book use increasing, offers many benefits

By ISABELLE CAVAZOS

The Oracle (U. SOUTh FlOriDa)

Whether reading them on tablets, laptops, or even cell phones, electronic books (e-books) have been on the rise in recent years.

However, a study by West Chester University professor Heather Schugar and instructor Jordan Schugar found that while middle school students who read e-books were more drawn to reading, they did not retain as much information as those who read print books. The Schugars’ argued e-books offer too many aesthetic distractions that keep readers from the task at hand.

The debate between e-books and print is ongoing. However, the print enthusiast argument should not be based on how easily distracted someone is when reading in a different medium,

especially when the benefits of e-books overshadow the counterproductive “flashy gimmicks” the Schugars believe is characteristic of them.

Though the number of those reading physical books has remained the same over the past few years, 28 percent of Americans read e-books this year, compared to the 17 percent who did in 2011, according to a Pew Research Center poll. The increased popularity of e-books in recent years is not all that can attest to their acclaim.

While some still consider the experience associated with reading e-books deserving of its own verb, “e-reading,” the most important aspect of the act of reading — the content — does not change.

Despite the perceived negative attributes most technological

conveniences share — particularly, that they create shortened attention spans, or, as with e-books, deprive readers of a tangible page to turn to and doggy-ear — the use of e-books as opposed to print books should be criticized in terms of whether it has more to offer to readers.

For instance, many students using e-textbooks consider them more affordable than traditional textbooks. The National Association of College Stores, a nonprofit trade association, reports that students can save as much as 40 percent from using digital textbooks and used textbooks.

This figure can make a profound difference for the average college student, who spends approximately $1,200 on books and other supplies in a year at a four-year public college, according to the College Board.

Additionally, the USF Bookstore website includes an informational page about e-textbooks urging students to go digital because of the unique conveniences of e-textbooks where traditional ones fall short, such as the ease of not having to carry the weight of numerous textbooks and the ability to cleanly make removable highlights and notes.

The primary requirement needed to enjoy the ease and accessibility of e-books is to pay attention to the material presented in it, rather than ensure one will not become distracted when trying to learn a new concept.

While there will always be some skepticism when approaching new technologies, they should not be criticized when they are not being used for their intended purposes — which, in this case, is simply to present information.

Online classes will never be dominant form of education

By CORBIN BROWN

The OklahOma Daily (OklahOma U.)

On April 22, I had the pleasure of listening to OU President David Boren discuss a wide range of topics, from former Egyptian president Anwar Sadat’s reconciliation efforts with Israel to the OU campus’ increasing environmental friendliness. One subject that stayed with me from his dialogue was the tension between brick-and-mortar universities and online institutes.

Boren paraphrased a supporter of the latter, who said that online universities were more efficient in terms of time and money. While this statement may be true in a number of cases, it glosses over many of the benefits of what can be referred to as the “traditional university experience.”

Among these are stronger bonds with, and greater knowledge of, individuals of varying cultural and social backgrounds.

beatable than Romney was. First of all, it’s highly unlikely anyone, regardless of their position on the political spectrum, will get excited about sending a third member of the Bush family to the White House. That stigma alone should be enough to disqualify him.

But if that’s not enough, Bush is being billed as t h e “ m o d e rate” candidate, mostly thanks to his open stance on immigration reform. Romney was also hailed by the media because of his moderate stance, and look how that ended.

The media will doubtlessly continue pushing Bush as the GOP’s savior, which should be enough to keep him in the con-

n politics, it’s never too early to be thinking about the next election, especially if you just lost the last one.

Republicans have clearly adopted this motto, as speculation has been rampant for months about which potential candidates will throw their hats into the 2016 presidential race.

Names such as Senators Rand Paul and Marco Rubio have been thrown around, as well as Texas Gov. Rick Perry and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, but one name in particular has me a little baffled: former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Bush, the brother of former president George W. Bush (and son of former president George H.W. Bush) has been in the conversation for quite some time.

According to a CBS News article, Bush said last week that he’s considering entering the race.

Even though it’s early, he’s not without his supporters. It seems many on the left are hailing Bush as the GOP’s only chance of win-

conferencing and student discussion aspects can help promote a great degree of interaction, the extent of this communication is relatively limited.

Promoting the highest possible level of educational productivity requires more than just video and text. The correlation between effectiveness and proximity extends not just to workers in office environments, but to students as well.

From my own experience, the quality of group projects conducted primarily through online communication is far less than that achieved via physical meetings. The immediacy of face-toface collaboration, the ability to communicate more directly and to obtain quick responses, often outweighs the convenience of online meetings.

This is not to say that online institutions are without their advantages. A number of circumstances may prevent prospective students from engaging in the traditional university experi-

ence, to name but a few: familial obligations, health concerns and financial or geographical barriers.

For individuals who face any of these obstacles but still wish to further their education, online courses are, if not a blessing, a tremendous opportunity.

For these reasons and more, online enrollment in degreegranting postsecondary institutions has risen since 2002, according to a 2013 survey conducted by the Babson Survey Research Group, Pearson and the Sloan Consortium. In addition, online colleges have become increasingly reputable, according to a 2011 survey from the same group in conjunction with the College Board.

In the past decade or so, the proportion of academic professionals who consider online education courses as “the same or superior to” offline classes has grown from 57 to 67, percent according to the 2011 Babson survey.

online education has experienced a recent decline. In 2013, 74 percent of academic professionals held positive views of online education, a drop of 3 points from the previous year, according to the 2013 Babson survey.

To deem one type of institution, online or offline, superior, one must disregard the numerous factors that may prevent individuals from enrolling in one or the other. The mode of education that proves most effective for one student may include significant burdens for another.

For all its advantages, online education will never be the sole, or even the predominant, mode of education. Countless degrees require hands-on experience that computers simply cannot provide. The benefits of face-to-face collaboration, the enormous cultural impact of “Animal House” and the country’s collective love of football all also contribute to the permanency of the traditional university.

World Wide Showcase performances highlight diversity

By KAYLIN MCDERMETT Staff Writer

The annual World Wide Showcase, presented by Students for Global Connections, took place Saturday with a series of musical performances aimed at highlighting global diversity at Texas Tech.

Mousa Sarraj, president of SGC, said the purpose of the event is to showcase different cultures through musical performances.

“This event, to basically put it,” he said, “is meant to showcase international communities here at Texas Tech through singing and dancing from all around the world.”

The theme for this year’s showcase was Flights of Adventures. The evening was travel themed and based off an airline journey around the world to the different countries to match the various performances, complete with pilots to narrate the event.

Before each performance, a brief introduction video would show many pictures of many unique and popular landmarks found in the performers’ country.

The performances were done by several of the international student associations at Tech, including the Sri Lankan Students Organization, the West Texas Turkish Student Association and the Association of Chinese Students and Scholars at Lubbock.

Sarraj said having multiple student organizations perform is part of SGC’s mission at Tech.

“Our vision here at Texas Tech is to be a unifying body for all international student organizations,” he said.

Individual performances were also part of the showcase and included an American themed dance by Jose Teniente and an original Guatemalan song

by Hilario Menendez.

Other performances from Iran, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Peru and India were also included during the showcase.

Sukant Misra, Associate Vice Provost of International Affairs, said events like this are a great way to break down stereotypes people face on a daily basis by comically pointing out various stereotypes he has encountered.

“Cultural awareness also allows us not to be stereotypical in our day to day life,” he said. “How many times have you heard uninformed, stereotypical comments such as Italians are lazy, Americans are fat, Russians are alcoholics, India is a land of snake charmers and the Chinese will eat anything?”

Many of the dances and songs had strong ties to traditional, cultural performances of the various countries and have been done for centuries by the native people.

The showcase is the main event hosted every year by SGC in an attempt to display

the cultures from various students at Tech.

Sarraj said events like the showcase play a large part of SGC’s mission to build relationships for those from different cultures.

“Our main purpose at SGC is to promote global connections through campus and community events,” he said, “and to facilitate cross-cultural relations amongst Tech students and the surrounding community. Our vision here at Texas Tech is to be a unifying body for all international student organizations.”

Misra said the organization has made impressive strides toward encouraging diversity at Tech.

“I’m particularly impressed with the vision of this organization,” he said. “I applaud their contributions to Texas Tech University’s agenda for internationalizing our education and in preparing the global work force for the world.”

Not only has SGC helped with internationalizing Tech, Misra said events like the showcase are also vital when it comes to spreading the ideas of tolerance for different cultures.

“Equally important is enhancing cultural awareness of the people they touch,” he said. “Cultural awareness is the foundation to communication, empathy and tolerance. These characteristics are vitally important to be able to celebrate diversity.”

Misra said he appreciates SGC for their efforts to increase cultural awareness and

Lubbock community walk for premature babies

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

The March of Dimes hosts various March for Babies walks throughout the country, according to the March of Dimes website, and the money raised from the walks helps fund research and supports mothers to have healthy, fulllength pregnancies.

Texas Tech hosted a March for Babies walk from 9:30 a.m. to noon Saturday at Urbanovsky Park.

President M. Duane Nellis encouraged students and the Lubbock community to participate in the walk.

“I encourage students to make this event a success by working with us to raise awareness about March of Dimes,” he said. “Everyone can help by signing up as a team captain, encouraging others to be on their team and soliciting more support through emails.”

Walkers register on a team, according to the March for Babies website, and teams donate money they contribute themselves or receive from sponsors.

Cody Wilhelm, a student at Mackenzie Middle School, was among the group of volunteers which included people of different ages.

“I think the March of Dimes is a good cause,” he said. “It was nice to come out and actually help people by volunteering.”

Music played as the participants walked around the park, and many mothers walked with their babies and young children.

On the sidewalks leading to the park, various facts about pregnancy were written in chalk for people to read as they walked past.

Many of the teams who participated wore matching shirts, and some of the

teams were larger families who completed the walk together.

“There was one family who had a panda as their mascot, and that was really cool,” Wilhelm said. “One family had someone dressed like the Hulk.

Another family was dressed up like Batman. There were so many families who participated.”

After the walk was finished, participants could stay in the park to eat, listen to music and enjoy activities designed for children.

Juan Muñoz, vice provost for Undergraduate Education and Student Affairs, and Nellis provided incentives for teams to raise money.

“There are many incentives including tickets to the athletic director’s suite for this fall’s first home football game,” Muñoz said, “as well as a football helmet autographed by coach Kingsbury, tickets for next year’s basketball game

against Texas, a basketball signed by the Red Raider basketball team, and the opportunity to have dinner at the Texas Tech Club with 20 team members.”

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury also agreed to host a lunch in the fall, Muñoz said, and the team that raised the most money for the walk will be invited.

The highest donations are tracked on the March for Babies website for each event, and as of Saturday the Plains Capital Bank Lubbock team had the most money raised with $7,272.20.

Family teams are tracked in a separate category, according to the website, and Ryan’s Raiders were in the lead as of Saturday with $3,755 raised.

“The event is just a really good thing,” Wilhelm said. “You can walk or you can run. It’s mutually beneficial for everyone, and it doesn’t take much. It’s good for families as well as individuals.”

diversity. Working together, our possibilities are endless.” ➤➤kmcdermett@dailytoreador.com

Red Raider baseball sweeps OU in series

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

The Texas Tech baseball team swept the Oklahoma Sooners in a three-game series and improved its Big 12 Conference record to 11-7.

Tech won the first game of the series 9-5 against Oklahoma, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Oklahoma opened up the series by scoring two runs in the first inning, but lost the lead to Tech in the bottom of the inning after the Red Raiders scored four runs.

Tech sophomore first baseman Eric Gutierrez gave Tech its first pair of runs to tie the game with a two-run single to right field.

Tech clinched the series against Oklahoma Saturday by winning game two 14-4.

Oklahoma took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning, and extended its lead to 2-0 in the top of the fifth inning.

The Sooners dropped their 2-0 lead to the Red Raiders after Tech scored 10 runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Tech’s scoring frenzy in the fifth inning began with a two run double by junior shortstop Tim Proudfoot.

After a pair of runs by the Red Raiders, Gutierrez gave Tech a 7-2 lead with a three-run home run.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock said Tech’s offense got rolling at the bottom of the fifth inning after senior centerfielder Devon Conley singled off a bunt.

“When you get a bunt down it can really create some problems,” he said. “Some guys put up some good at bats after that and it seemed like we just kept going.”

Tech extended its lead against Oklahoma to 11-2 at the bottom of the sixth inning with a home run by freshman outfielder Tyler Neslony.

The final two Red Raider runs of the game came in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Women’s tennis loses in Big 12 semifinals to Baylor on Saturday The Texas Tech women’s tennis team fell in the Big 12 Championship semifinals to Baylor 4-0 Saturday at the Friedman Tennis Center in Fort Worth, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

This was the third straight year the Lady Raiders made it to the semifinals in the Big 12 Championship, according to the release, but they have not advanced any further in that time.

No. 14 Baylor captured the doubles point and went on to win the three singles matches in straight sets, according to the release. Baylor junior

Ema Burgic closed out the win for the Bears by defeating Tech senior Rashmi Teltumbde 6-2, 6-1, according to the release.

“I thought we had a great win on Friday,” Lady Raider coach Todd Petty said in the release. “We didn’t take a step forward this year and that is obviously disappointing, but we came out of this with a really good win and let’s see what we can do in the NCAA Tournament.”

Tech scored one more run in the bottom of the fifth inning and dominated the Sooners offensively in the bottom of the sixth inning by scoring six more runs.

Gutierrez hit a three-run homerun in the bottom of the third inning and a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Tadlock said Gutierrez had a really good weekend against Oklahoma.

“Eric likes to play,” he said. “He’s going to come in and work at it each day and give you good at bats most of the time.”

Gutierrez said he enjoyed watching the team’s performance throughout the series.

“It was fun watching my teammates play,” he said. “Great offense, great hitting by my team and great pitching by the bullpen.”

Tech will take on the Golden Eagles of Oral Roberts Tuesday 6 p.m. at Tulsa, Okla. ➤➤dgaytan@dailytoreador.com

Test for Tech, return home for White

By DAWITT HAILE Staff Writer

For Texas Tech track, the Penn Relays at Phalidelphia were another notable meet to measure its progress, but for junior sprinter Cierra White, it was simply a return home.

The three days spent at White’s hometown brought in 108,660 spectators.

White said running in front individuals she loves and knows consumed her with excitement.

“It is just like a home meet,” she said. “I just know a lot of faces. There is a lot of people cheering for you.

Many of those people don’t even know who I am.”

The collective encouragement from her city supplied her with an extra dose of energy, White said.

This proved useful to her in the women’s 100-meter hurdles.

In the preliminaries for the event, White ran 100 meters in 11.48 seconds for Heat 2. This time bested not only the Heat 2 sprinters, but also those who participated in Heats 1 and 3, earning her the fastest qualifying time.

White didn’t slow down in the finals. She completed the race two hundredths of a second quicker than her Heat 2 time. However, her com-

petitors improved as well.

Two Texas A&M sprinters forced White to settle for third. Aggie junior Olivia Ekponé and freshman Aaliyah Brown clocked in at 11.23 and 11.34, respectively.

Energy from the Penn Relays did not help White and her 4x400 relay teammates, senior sprinter Amoy Blake, junior sprinter Christen Rivers and junior sprinter Montenae Roye-Speight. Tech ran the relay in 3:35.61 minutes.

Their time relegated them to sixth place. In the same race, a fellow Big 12 Conference program participated — the Texas Longhorns.

They enjoyed drastically different results, earning a first-place victory with 3:25.05.

Blake, Rivers, Roye-Speight and her ran the relay well, White said, but she said she knows the relay team has ran faster than they did Saturday.

“With everyone healthy,” White said, “we still have time to win plenty more races.”

The men did not fare too much better in the relays. Neither the 4x100 nor 4x400 relays finished in the top three. The Red Raiders finished fifth in the 4x100 with 40.47, and 3:09.16 gave them fourth in the 4x400 too.

Tech coach Wes Kittley said the

times produced in all the men’s and women’s relay events were not as fast as he expected.

There is not much worry following the times recorded, he said, especially in the men’s and women’s 4x400 relays because the sprinters constructing those two relay teams were well acclimated with each other. Simply gaining experience was the focus.

“You always gain experience when you get that same four working together,” Kittley said.

The importance of experience was needed nowhere more than the 4x100 relay, Kittley said. Not much work had been given to this event. The women did not run it at this meet. However, this provided an opportunity for the men to prepare more prior to their next home meet, the 2014 Big 12 Outdoor Championships and NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Meanwhile, sophomore hurdler/jumper Le’Tristan Pledger dealt with a difficult go at the 100-meter hurdles.

The week before at Mt. SAC Relays, Pledger ran the event in 13.09 to earn a school record. She could not carry this performance to Philadelphia, where she took 13.90 to clear all the hurdles to the

finish line.

Red Raiders and Lady Raiders were also competing in Canyon at the West Texas A&M Classic this weekend, and many did not experience the hardships Pledger was confronting up north. They obtained five facility records at the West Texas A&M Track and Field Complex, according to Tech Athletics.

Freshman vaulter Blake Wood and sophomore vaulter Haley Cook earned theirs in the pole vault as they tied for first with a 12” 8 1/4 clearance.

Redshirt sophomore thrower Hannah Carson and junior thrower Kole Weldon continued their string of records with another in the women’s javelin and men’s shot put.

Rangers push Flyers to brink of elimination NEW YORK (AP) — Henrik Lundqvist didn’t allow a bad ending to the second period wreck an otherwise good day for the New York Rangers.

Lundqvist was the beneficiary of a three-goal lead that was trimmed to two when the Philadelphia Flyers got their power play to work in the closing seconds of the middle period. But the Rangers kept it together in the third, withstood a late surge, and pushed the

Flyers to the brink of elimination with a 4-2 victory Sunday.

“The biggest part to me was to calm down and not be too upset about it,” Lundqvist said of Vinny Lecavalier’s goal with 32.6 seconds left that made it 3-1. “It is really frustrating to sit here when you give up a goal like that late in the period.

“It was just about letting it go and being focused on the right things going into the third.”

Brad Richards and Dominic Moore scored in the second to make it 3-0. Lundqvist stopped 24 shots and didn’t face more than 10 in any period. The only other puck that got past him was Claude Giroux’s goal with 1:29 left after the Flyers pulled goalie Steve Mason.

Defenseman Marc Staal gave the Rangers the lead in the first, and Brian Boyle ended the drama with an empty-net goal with 15 seconds remaining. Moore helped seal the win when he raced up

ice to negate an icing call and fed Boyle.

New York leads the series 3-2 and can advance to the second round with a win Tuesday in Philadelphia. If necessary, a deciding seventh game would be back at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.

The teams have alternated wins this series.

“We took back the advantage, and we have to win one now,” Richards said. “We put ourselves in a good position. We were in control for most of the game. They got a little sneaky there at the end.”

Mason wasn’t nearly as sharp in his second straight start following a late-season injury. He stopped 18 shots after his 37-save effort in a 2-1 victory in Game 4 got the Flyers even.

“As you go through a series, you have to keep elevating your game because the other side will,” Rangers forward Martin St. Louis

said. “I thought we did that, and we got rewarded.”

Giroux made things interesting with his first goal of the series. The Flyers went 0-2 during the season at the Garden and are 1-2 there during this series.

“We’re playing well,” Giroux said. “It’s a tough building to play in. Game 6 is going to be huge.

We are not looking at it like it’s our last game of the season.

We’ve come back all season long when it matters, and we’re going to stay confident.”

New York is 13-2 in series it has led 3-2, but the Rangers have lost 11 straight games in which they had a series lead.

Philadelphia is 7-10 in Game 6 when trailing 3-2.

The Rangers increased their pressure in tight on Mason, a stated objective, and created multiple scoring chances in the second even though they managed only eight shots.

Tech wins third straight conference series

By EVERETT CORDER SportS Editor

The Texas Tech softball team won its third straight Big 12 Conference series, run-ruling Iowa State in game one and three of the weekend series.

It was a bittersweet weekend for the three seniors on the Red Raiders’ roster, as this is the last series they will play at Rocky Johnson Field.

Tech coach Shanon Hays said all of the seniors have been persistent and worked hard to improve during their time as Red Raiders.

“All of them have had injuries throughout their careers,” he said, “but they have come back and found ways to make the team and be good students and get their degrees here at Texas Tech, and I’m proud of them.”

In game one of the series, the Red Raiders set a new record for the largest margin of victory in school history, according to a news release from Tech Athletics.

Tech scored eight runs in the first inning, according to the release, which marked a season-high

for runs in one inning.

“It’s always nice when you can jump out to an early lead like that,” Hays said in the release. “We talked all week about getting after their pitching staff early and I thought that was really key tonight.”

Te c h s o p h o m o r e p i t c h e r Gretchen Aucoin shut out the Cyclones in the game, according to the release, and the Red Raiders went on to score seven more runs for the 15-0 final score.

The only loss for Tech during the three-game series came on Saturday, 13-9, snapping its fivegame winning streak.

Tech freshman Cassie McClure said it wasn’t fun for the team to lose a game in which it scored so many runs.

“It was really frustrating,” McClure said. “We were hitting the ball hard, we just had some errors we shouldn’t have, and tomorrow will be another day.”

The Red Raiders took the lead early in game three of the series and run-ruled the Cyclones once again to win the series.

The players knew how well

they did in game one, Aucoin said, so they were confident that they could come in and win game three.

“We actually came in feeling pretty good,” Aucoin said. “We obviously knew how we played the first game and that we could do that again. Especially after our loss yesterday, that kind of motivated all of us to really do better and pick up our game.”

Aucoin started the game in the circle for Tech, earning her 14th win of the season, but she also contributed to the team offensively, blasting a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth inning.

It was a windy day at the softball field, but Aucoin said the weather caused her to focus more, and it actually helped her.

“It’s just the best thing to benefit the team in the circle on defense and on offense,” she said.

“Just for me to come out and support my teammates and give them that extra is really great.”

While winning the final game of the series was important for the Red Raiders season, it also helped Hays reach a milestone in his

McHugh strong in Astros win against A’s HOUSTON (AP) — Collin McHugh allowed two hits over 8 2-3 stellar innings as the Houston Astros beat the Oakland Athletics 5-1 on Sunday.

McHugh (2-0) followed up his first outing where he struck out 12 and allowed three hits in 6 2-3 innings at Seattle on Tuesday with another dominant performance.

He struck out seven and walked three, allowing one run in the longest outing of his career. His previous longest outing had been seven innings on Aug. 23, 2012 against Colorado when he was a member of

the New York Mets.

After the first, McHugh retired 23 of the next 24 batters, including 19 straight before Brandon Moss was hit by a pitch with two outs in the ninth.

Moss stole second and came around to score on Alberto Callaspo’s single — McHugh’s first run allowed in 15 1-3 innings this season.

Raul Valdes got the final out to complete the two hitter.

Jed Lowrie, who singled in the first inning, drew a walk in the third for McHugh’s lone base runner until the ninth.

The right-hander, who Houston

claimed off waivers from Colorado during the offseason, got out of trouble in the first after loading the bases with two outs with a walk to Callaspo by getting Josh Reddick to pop out to end the inning.

Jose Altuve had two hits, including a two-run home run in the seventh, and Jonathan Villar also had two hits, including a two-run triple.

Tommy Milone (0-2) allowed four runs on five hits with two strikeouts in 6 2-3 innings. The left-hander was just effective for most of the day, retiring 12 out of 13, including nine in a row, but he ran into trouble in the seventh.

career — his 300th win.

Hays joked that reaching No. 300 made him feel old, but he was happy to have had good enough players over the years to help him

win games.

“If anything, it makes you think all the good kids that I’ve had over the years that make me feel like a good coach sometimes,”

he said. “It’s fun to represent our university with a good, solid team, and we feel like we have a lot more in our tank.” ➤➤sports@dailytoreador.com

Red Raider tennis team loses heartbreaker in semifinals Oklahoma State defeated the Texas Tech men’s tennis team 4-3 in the Big 12 Championships on Friday at the Friedman Tennis Center at Fort Worth, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

“Words cannot describe how difficult this one is. I have never experienced anything like this,” Red Raider coach Tim Siegel said in the release. “Tied 3-3 and leading 5-0 in the third set and last match on — you just have to give credit to OSU. They pulled it out. Hopefully we

will hear our named called on Tuesday.”

Oklahoma State would win the doubles point, but Tech would fight back to take a 3-2 lead in singles with two matches left, according to the release.

The next match would go in the favor of the Cowboys with Oklahoma State junior Chris Haworth defeating Tech freshman Jolan Caileau 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.

The match would come down to two freshmen as Maxime Hinnisdaels of Tech

faced Lucas Gerch of Oklahoma State.

After winning the first set 6-3, Hinnisdaels was defeated in the second set 7-6.

It wasn’t until the third set that the match was decided.

Hinnisdaels jumped out to a 5-0 lead. However, Gerch came storming back and won the set 7-5 to give the Cowboys the win, according to the release.
