dorned in the iconic black hat, mask and cape, the Masked Rider waits for the right moment while the black horse paces impatiently, ready to run.

As the crowd finishes chanting, “Go, fight, win,” and fog fills Jones AT&T Stadium, the rider takes off, leading the Red Raiders onto the field and causing the crowd to erupt further in cheers.

The Start of a Tradition Since 1954, a total of 55 Masked Riders have served as symbols of Texas Tech, and former Masked Rider Stacy Stockard, marketing coordinator of Transportation and Parking Services, said there is no other feeling like riding down the field in front of thousands of people.

“I like to tell people it’s the best job at Tech,” she said. “It’s an amazing experience to be able to go out and represent our university across the state and region and even country.”

Before the first official Masked Rider, Joe Kirk Fulton, took the reins, there were ghost riders in the 1930s, according to the Spirit Program website, and no one knew their identities.

ince 1971, Raider Red has been a symbol of school spirit and community excitement for Texas Tech.

The image of Raider Red first came from the cartoon drawings of Dirk West, with an image of a cowboy with a large nose and big, bushy red eyebrows and mustache, wearing a black mask, white button up with a black vest, a gun belt, striped pants, boots with the Tech logo and a large white hat.

Although it was West who created the image of Raider Red, it is Jim Gaspard who often gets credit for bringing Raider Red to life.

In 1971, the Southwest Conference made a rule that live animals could not travel with sports teams to away games, and this meant the official mascot of Tech, the Masked Rider, could not attend the games.

Gaspard wanted to create a mascot that would be able to travel with teams in order to have someone to keep up the excitement of the crowds, according to the Spirit Program website, and be a symbol for the university while traveling.

It’s interesting because when you look at the original drawings of Raider Red, his face is quite different. It’s more leaner and longer, and as time goes by, his face gets more round, and I think he’s much more friendly now than he was earlier.

Students reflect on time as Raider Red

By JENNIFER ROMERO L a Vida Editor

The Masked Rider has officially represented Texas Tech since 1954, but when the Southwest Conference passed a rule banning live animal mascots from away football games in 1971, Raider Red emerged as Tech’s costumed mascot.

Jim Gaspard, a member of the Saddle Tramps, created Raider Red from drawings by Dirk West, according to the Spirit Program website, and members of the Saddle Tramps carried on the tradition into the present.

Jeremy Garcia, a senior chemistry major from Alvin, and Mario Flores, a senior sports management major from Houston, were the faces behind the Raider Red costume from 2015-2016, and they were

recognized at the Passing of the Guns ceremony on April 22.

Garcia did not come to Tech with the intention of being Raider Red, he said, and he was just enjoying being in Saddle Tramps until his close friend Travis Sims became Raider Red. “Once my friend Travis Sims was done as Raider Red, I was like, ‘you know what, it would be cool if I carried it on,’” he said.

“Then I tried out the next year, and I got it.”

The tryout was nervewracking for him, Garcia said, and it consisted of an interview with the Spirit Coordinating Committee and walking around the South Plains Mall in the Raider Red costume.

During his first Passing of the Guns ceremony, Garcia was in the Raider Red costume and his identity

was kept secret.

“I was really close friends to the people who were passing their guns at that point, so I felt really honored that I was able to be the Raider Red for their Passing of the Guns,” he said.

Some times of the year are busier than others, Garcia said, but he typically had three to five sporting events to go to every week and three to four public appearances.

Sometimes it was hard to balance classes and all the Raider Red appearances, he said, but he enjoyed getting to be Raider Red. “Spending so much time in the suit was a huge blessing to me,” Garcia said. “I enjoyed it the entire time, even when there were appearances when I was absolutely miserable because of the heat or time constraints, I was always enjoying myself.”

The Spirit Program accommodated the schedules of the different students, he said, but sometimes they needed someone to be at an appearance regardless of schedules.

When none of the Raider Reds could make the appearance at the Tech football game in Arkansas during the fall, Flores, who was then an assistant for Raider Red, was asked to suit up for the game.

“I was like, ‘well, this is going to be fun and scary,’” he said. “That’s how I became Raider Red. They turned out to like me a lot.”

Garcia and Flores split their time between appearances as best they could, including splitting football games in half, Garcia said, and they could cover specific events if they were the first to ask.

Jeremy Garcia, a senior chemistry major from Alvin, gives the crowd a guns up before finishing his speech during the Passing of the Guns ceremony on Friday at the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center. Garcia said being and seeing Texas Tech through Raider Red’s eyes was one of the single most amazing experiences of his life.

the Big 12 Men’s Basketball Tournament and the cheerleading competition in Daytona, Florida, he said, and Flores got to attend the Advocare V100 Texas Bowl in his hometown of Houston.

It turns out so many people that I knew were always wanting to take pictures with Raider Red, and it was actually me.

MARIO FLORES 2014-15 RAIDER RED “I got to travel more during my time as Raider Red than I’ve ever traveled in my life,” Garcia said. “I’ve been all over, to Oklahoma, Kansas City, we were all over the place. Traveling was really cool because I also got to bond with cheer

and pom squad that way. It helped me expand my horizons and meet new people and build new friendships.”

Raider Red competes well with mascots across the country, Garcia said, and he hopes the new Raider Reds will help the mascot win the Capital One National Mascot of the Year again like in 2012.

Being in the Raider Red suit is a different experience because everyone knows the mascot and wants to interact with him, Garcia said, whereas as a student he can walk around campus and only be recognized by his friends.

“It was something I had a lot of fun with because no one knew who I was and I could do anything I wanted to — I wanted to be silly and goofy,” Flores said. “It turns out so many people that I knew were always wanting to take pictures with Raider Red, and it was actually me.”

After being in the suit, Garcia said he appreciates the hard work that goes into being a mascot and he has made friends with the mascots from other universities.

It is important for the new Raider Reds to be themselves and make sure the mascot is visible in the community, Flores said.

He advised the new Raider Reds to stick with the commitment and take in every minute of it because the experience passes by quickly, he said, and the Passing of the Guns ceremony this year was more emotional for him.

“It was a lot heavier because it was more important to me because it was my time as Raider Red,“ Garcia said, “and also knowing one of the guys who is currently Raider Red, who I’m extremely close to, it’s kind of nice seeing how a legacy carries on.” @JenRomeroDT

MASCOTS

Fundraising continues for Raider Red statue With red hair covered, a white 10-gallon hat, a red mustache to match and white gloved hands wrapped around two pistols, Raider Red wears a black mask and always has his guns up.

Raider Red has been an official mascot of Texas Tech since 1971, when the Southwest Conference passed a rule which re-

stricted the bringing of live animal mascots to away athletic games.

“While the Masked Rider is the mascot that everyone knows and is the original mascot, (Raider Red) is one that people can actually walk up to and touch,” Chris Snead, vice president of the Tech Alumni Association, said.

A statue on campus already immortalizes the Masked Rider, Snead said, and now the Tech Alumni Association is trying to accomplish the same thing for Raider Red. “Raider Red is just as well known,” he said. “It’s a very well known mascot, not only here in Lubbock, but across the country, and should be immortalized on campus.”

Looking at the planned statue, designed by Terrell O’Brian, some may not recognize Raider Red as the

mascot people all know and love today.

“We wanted to make a statue, and the first question was, ‘Which Raider Red?’” Snead said.

There is the Raider Red from today, the Raider Red recognized by those in the 1990s and before there was another Raider Red from the 1970s to mid-1980s, Snead said.

“There has really been three Raider Reds,” he said, “and the Raider Red statue is a combination of all three, really the first two, but there are some elements of the third one.”

The $300,000 has raised about $60,000 so far, and the Alumni Association has

been working hard to raise the money, Snead said.

“It’s going well,” Snead said. “We are looking for a major donor. Obviously, this is a very grass-roots effort.”

One of the big fundraisers coming up for Alumni Association is the Saddle Tramps 80th reunion on Nov. 4 and 5, where fundraising for the Raider Red statue will be pushed, Snead said.

“The fundraising is always, always going on,” he said. “You can donate $5 or you can donate $50,000,” he said.

Raider Red attends the Texas Tech homecoming bonfire at Urbanovsky Park on Oct. 17, 2014. Raider Red has been the mascot for Tech since 1971, originally created by Dirk West.

RAIDER RED CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Since then, Raider Red has evolved to become an icon for the university and a celebrity, attending not only sporting events, but events around campus and within the Lubbock community.

“I think he is more visible now, to where in 2012 when we won the Capital One mascot of the year, that

really promoted and raised his visibility,” Bruce Bills, the cheer and mascot coach for Tech, said. “You know you go across the street to an apparel shop and you have Raider Red everywhere, to where several years ago that wasn’t always the case.”

The thing that has changed with Raider Red is his overall image has been commercialized now, Bills said, and is very popular in the community of Lubbock.

Raider Red and his traditions have changed over the years from when he was introduced in 1971.

In 2001, Raider Red claimed the title for Best All-Around Mascot at the National Cheerleaders Association Colligate Camp meeting.

In 2005, a female student from the High Riders organization put on the costume and became Raider Red for the first time in the mascot’s

34-year history.

In 2006, the Saddle Tramps and the High Riders provided two members each to serve as Raider Red. This meant the amiable mascot could attend four times as many events.

In 2007, the Passing of the Guns ceremony was first hosted to honor and reveal those seniors who took on the position of Raider Red. Wi t h t h e t r a d i t i o n s changing, the costume had to be updated as the years went by as well. The original Raider Red had a round face, long nose and large body.

“It’s interesting because when you look at the original drawings of Raider Red, his face is quite different,” Lynn Whitfield, associate archivist for the Southwest Collections Library, said.

“It’s more leaner and longer, and as time goes by his face gets more round and I think he’s much more friendly now than he was earlier.”

However, as times have changed, Raider Red now has a slimmer look, softer fabric, and several costume changes.

“The Masked Rider, you always have that certain image, and for Raider Red, it’s a little more creative,” Bills said. “We do have the jerseys for the different sports, and we put Raider Red on the back so it’s his jersey. There is a traditional costume that sometimes you’ll see him in, but usually we’ll just stick to one of those — a uniform or the traditional piece.”

Raider Red is an important symbol for the university, Whitfield said, not only for sporting events.

“I think the important thing with Raider Red is it gave Texas Tech an alternate mascot, and so as the university grew and we had more events going on and community events that were going on, the demands for the mascot’s appearances have just soared,” she said. “So by having two mascots, we now have two ambassadors we can send out into the community at the same time.”

There are two students who serve as Raider Red

APRIL 28, 2016 throughout the school year, and neither one is out at the same time, she said, to avoid the image of Raider Red being ruined.

Raider Red made 331 appearances over this past year, Bills said, and covered more than eight sports.

In order to become Raider Red, students must be a member of either Saddle

Bills coaches these students on how to act and what are the dos and don’ts of representing the university through Raider Red, he said. He meets once a week with the two students and answers any questions they have, but overall each student adds his or her own touch to the character and representation to the mascot.

Raider Red has become a big part of the community and a symbol for Tech that can be recognizable by everyone, Whitfield said.

“I think he is the more approachable of the two mascots,” she said. “The Masked Rider is very dignified, but with the horse, the Masked Rider has to be careful about people getting too close, whereas Raider Red, you see him and he has got his arms out and he’s like wanting to hug and give guns up, and so I think on the one-to-one relationship, I think Raider Red is more approachable.” @RyanOrtegonDT

The United States government has had a relatively decent relationship with the Saudi Arabian kingdom. Now President Barack Obama has the authority to release the documents some say make the connections between the Saudi Arabian government and 9/11.

According to The Daily Mail, on many occasions, both the Bush and Obama administrations have declined to release the contents of the documents. And as the president has made a tour through Saudi Arabia meeting with leaders of the region, now is the worst time possible to consider something of this nature.

Obama would have been able to criticize the Saudis while still on tour, however the time has passed and that can’t happen now.

Because the current relationship of our two countries is on a slippery slope, there could be the possibility of destroying all that the U.S. has worked for.

According to a PBS article, since 2001 the working relationship between the two has suffered dramatically. The 80s and 90s were considered the glory days between the two countries.

Margaret Warner, analyst for PBS, was quoted as saying, “each country feels let down by the other.”

Both countries have been suspicious of each other, mostly because each one has been disappointed by the way the Islamic State has been maintained.

According to the PBS article, the Saudis see Iran as a problem that has been in their hair for a long time, and on many occasions, the U.S. teams up with Iran.

Most of their grievances have come from the United States’ help in toppling the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak during the Arab Spring revolt, according to the article. Adding that and the U.S. suspicions from 9/11 have caused tension between the two countries that has just recently began to mend.

Regardless of the findings of this report, there, in my opinion, cannot be any further repercussions toward the Saudis by the U.S. It may be that there holds the potential for re-prosecution in some instances, but I think there would be no reasoning for it.

It would not be in the best interest of the United States to have any real and hard tension with Saudi Arabia.

There is a large coalition of countries that give peacekeeping contributions to the United Nations.

Even John Oliver joked that the Saudi king hadn’t been very welcoming to Obama at the airport in “Obama in Saudi Arabia” on Last Week Tonight.

But Obama has no other choice but to support the Saudi Kingdom, which controls a lucrative oil market and much of the U.S. debt through government issued bonds.

Earlier this month, 60 Minutes aired a report, “28 Pages,” which went in depth on the 28 redacted or blacked out pages of text in the initial 9/11 investigation in the 9/11 commission report during the Bush administration.

Should the redacted documents be released?

Lawyers for the victims’ families say yes. They allege the kingdom provided funding and support to the 9/11 hijackers and al-Qaida.

But the U.S. and Saudi Arabia have been continuously involved in wheel-

ings and dealings, with the United States allowing the Kingdom to continuously go unchecked in funding and supporting extremist groups like the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, WikiLeaks reported in their “Saudi cables” leak.

In addition, former U.S. Senator Bob Graham, one of the select few who has seen the redacted documents, said on the 60 Minutes that, “I remain deeply disturbed by the amount of material that has been censored from this report.”

When asked if he believed support for the 9/11 hijackers came from the Saudi government and elites, Graham responded with, “substantially.”

Yet some information has been leaked with Paul Sperry reporting in the New York Post, “(The) case agents I’ve interviewed at the Joint Terrorism Task Forces … virtually every road led back to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, as well as the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles.”

Not only does the American public have the right to know the truth about the corruption of our own government, but also the victims’ families deserve closure in knowing what happened. opinions@dailytoreador.com

MASCOTS

High Riders able to suit up as Raider Red

By DAVID GAY Staff Writer

Texas Tech students have been participating in the traditions of ringing the Victory Bells and auditioning for Raider Red for many years, but only certain Tech students get the opportunity to do these traditions.

Members of the High Riders, the Saddle Tramps’ sister organization, get the chance to participate in these traditions as well as attending and cheering at women’s athletics events.

Carina Guevara, a senior marketing major from Dallas, said most girls join the High Riders because they are fans of sports.

The service of the High Riders to Tech is their attendance at women’s athletic events.

The High Riders make sure there is someone cheering at every women’s sporting event, Kelsey McKay, a junior human sciences major from Dalhart, said. The organi-

zation, like the Saddle Tramps, brings a sense of school spirit to the women’s athletic events.

“We are trying to bring school spirit,” McKay said.

“We are not necessarily doing the same thing as the Saddle Tramps because women are different. But we want to make sure that they know that we appreciate (the women athletes) and what they do for the university.”

Some of the traditions the Saddle Tramps and the High Riders share are some of the most iconic ones in the university, McKay said, but the women have only been able to participate in a major tradition, trying out for Raider Red, for the past 10 years.

Jacqueline Velasquez, a senior biology major from Little Elm, said she thinks this is an important step.

“I think that it is important because it supports equality,” Velasquez said.

“I also think that it is important because we sup-

Ve l a s q u e z s a i d s h e would have loved to be Raider Red, but the time management would have been tough for her as a biology major.

Alexis Gomez, a freshman math major from Marble Falls, said she does not wish to be Raider Red, but she knows other girls in the High Riders who would be interested in the role.

McKay thinks ringing the victory bells after home wins is the best tradition the High Riders get to participate in, she said.

“After a Tech win, everyone is excited,” McKay said. “You have to climb up eight flights of stairs and start ringing the bells and singing the fight song. You think about all the girls and all the Saddle Tramps that have done that before you, and I like to think about the reason why we are doing it.”

MASKED RIDER CONTINUED FROM PG. 1

The 62-yearlong official history of the Masked Rider began with Fulton, a student who was encouraged by former Tech football coach Dewitt Weaver to become the mascot in an effort to join the Southwest Conference, Stockard said.

All the other schools in the conference had mascots, and Stockard, who served as the 43rd Masked Rider from 2004-05, said Weaver believed a mascot would put Tech on the map.

“He brought the idea to Joe Kirk Fulton and asked if he would do it, and it was a secret and a big surprise,” she said. “I don’t think anyone at that time knew it would catch on and be the tradition that it’s become today.”

Stephanie Rhode, director of the Spirit Program, said Fulton traveled to Florida to ride the horse for the first time down the football field at the Gator Bowl on New Year’s Day in 1954.

Fulton, who died in 2013, never would have expected the program to grow to what it is today, she said.

“I met Joe Kirk a couple of times,” Rhode said, “and when you think about what the Masked Rider is now, and you think of how he kind of did that as a dare — wow.”

The novelty of having a horse lead the football team on the field struck a deep chord with the Tech community, she said.

The Early Years The first 12 Masked Riders were men chosen by a professor in the animal science department, according to the Spirit Program website.

Anne Lynch served as No. 13 from 1974-1975, according to the website, and her gender caused controversy, with some demanding she step down from the position.

“Now, we have equal rights for men and women to be able to be the mascot, Raider Red or the Masked Rider, here at Tech,” Stockard said. “It’s hard to think back to that time and think that there was so much controversy. She did

a wonderful job representing the university.”

Despite the controversy, Lynch continued to serve as the Masked Rider, Stockard said. Since Lynch, more than 20 females have taken the mascot’s reins.

In addition to who can be the Masked Rider, the program has updated its safety procedures tremendously, Rhode said.

When the program hosted a 60th anniversary celebration in 2014 before a game against Arkansas, Rhode said, some alumni shared stories of safety issues that would not be allowed now.

Riders used to take the horse up to the Double T scoreboard and onto the grass, she said. Another rider once rode the horse during halftime with all the lights out in the stadium, and some rode with the reins in their teeth.

You have to have an investment in Texas Tech and have an understanding that you are a symbol of this university.

STEPHANIE RHODE SPIRIT PROGRAM DIRECTOR

Safety procedures have improved for a multitude of reasons, including the increased number of people on the field and the death of a horse, Rhode said.

In 1994, a “freak” accident led to the death of Double T, the horse at the time, according to the Spirit Program website. Masked Rider Amy Smart was thrown off the horse when the saddle slipped, and Double T fell in the southwest ramp, dying instantly when its head struck a cement wall.

There are increased safety procedures in place now to protect the rider, horse and spectators, Rhode said.

“We’ve had a couple of situations in the past couple of years where the fog is just so thick that the rider can’t see,” she said, “and you

just have to trust and know people are out there holding people back and clearing a path for you.”

While running onto the football field is what most people think of when they think of the Masked Rider, Rhode said football is just a glimpse of what the mascot does.

Rachel McLelland, the 54th Masked Rider, set a school record with 305 appearances, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador.

The earliest Masked Riders limited their appearances to game days, Rhode said, but McLelland and other riders traveled across the state and country because Tech fans want a piece of the university to visit.

Sponsorships from a variety of companies also make it possible for the Masked Rider to travel more each year, Rhode said.

Wells Fargo has an endowment fund that eliminates the need for the program to charge for appearances.

When Rhode joined the program 14 years ago, the mascot received about $1,000 in scholarship, she said. Now, the student receives a full scholarship for the year served.

The Masked Rider makes appearances each year the Carol of Lights and the homecoming bonfire are hosted, Stockard said, and they have worn a lighted hat and cape since the 1980s.

“An engineering department made (the lights) out of two motorcycle batteries, so it was very heavy,” she said. “Now, it’s powered by a little nine-volt battery, and you don’t have to deal with a 50-pound motorcycle battery.”

A Lasting Legacy The Masked Rider Advisory Committee chooses a student each spring through a lengthy application process that includes a written equestrian exam, tryout, interview and more, according to the Spirit Program website.

While horse knowledge is a significant part of the Masked Rider ’s role, the student must also know he or she is a part of something larger than themselves,

ELISE BRESSLER/The Daily Toreador

Former Masked Rider Rachel McLelland places the mask on Charlie Snider, Texas Tech’s newest Masked Rider, at the Red Raiders’ baseball game on April 22 at Rip Griffin Park. Snider joins 54 other Masked Riders since Tech student Joe Kirk Fulton officially created the mascot in 1954.

Rhode said.

“You have to have an investment in Texas Tech and have an understanding that you are a symbol of this university,” she said. “You have to have a student who really understands.”

The committee cannot afford to make a mistake when choosing the next rider, she said. About 10 to 12 students start the process but several drop out before the final decision is made.

All the riders bleed red and black, Stockard said, and it takes a special combination of factors to be the symbol of Tech.

“You have to be a great rider, a great horseman or horsewoman,” she said. “You have to be great with people because you have so many interactions. You have to be calm under pressure and just be really passionate about Texas Tech.”

Every year at the Transfer of Reins ceremony, the upcoming Masked Rider has the same look on his or her face when realizing what they will do for the next year, Rhode said.

Charlie Snider, the 55th Masked Rider who took the reins on April 15, was no different, she said.

“I’ve told Charlie, you’re not Charlie Snider any-

more,” Rhode said. “You’re the Masked Rider, and you’re one of a very elite club, and people will remember you for the rest of your life because of this role.”

The Masked Rider program is a life-changing experience, Stockard said, because it opens doors for its few members.

“It’s always a part of you from then on because it’s a tradition that’s so important and special to our students and alumni,” she said, “and you just hope you can represent the university in a manner that makes everybody proud.”

The bond between the rider and horse is unique because there is daily interaction that requires the rider to trust the horse and vice versa, Stockard said.

The student must feed the horse twice a day, ride it and provide other needs all while maintaining grades and making appearances, Rhode said.

While each horse is special, Rhode said Midnight Matador stands out because he was the longest-serving horse with a school record of 11 years.

Midnight Matador led the Red Raiders onto the football field from 2002 to 2013, according to the program

website, and Stockard was one of his riders.

“For me, that was the toughest part of leaving the program, leaving Midnight Matador behind,” Stockard said. “Getting to own him in his retirement was a dream come true.”

Each generation of Red Raiders views a different horse as the symbol of Tech, and Stockard said she looks forward to hearing from later generations that remember Midnight Matador as that.

In April 2013, Tech introduced its newest horse, Fearless Champion.

In surveys, the Double T and Masked Rider are the top images people think of when asked about Tech, Rhode said.

Even for non-Tech fans, it is hard to not get the chills watching the Masked Rider run onto the field, Rhode said.

Those who have served as the mascot have a family of fellow alumni, she said, and many check in regularly with Rhode to see how the program is doing, “The program will be here for as long as Tech is here,” Rhode said. “I cannot imagine a time when those two entities are not synonymous with each other.” @DailyToreador

Chicken serves as unofficial mascot for Tech baseball fans

The year was 1988 in the then Texas Tech Ballpark.

Tech Alumni Association Associate Vice President and alumnus Chris Snead attended a Tech baseball game as a student and met others who would join him at future games.

Snead said he and the others eventually began attending games together and at one point noticed the group heckling together.

“We would heckle the players, but would always keep it classy,” Snead said.

“At some point I remember us saying, ‘hey, who wants shirts?’ and the rest is kind of history.”

Snead said the group would do plenty of re search when teams paid a visit to Lubbock.

The group eventually thought of a group name and became the “Tech Hecklers.”

Retired associate professor of financial planning Bill Gustafson said he met Snead when his son, Mike Gustafson, played baseball for Tech under former coach Larry Hays.

Bill Gustafson said sometime in the 1990s, Snead incorporated props to the Tech Hecklers routines.

One of those props was a rubber chicken Snead bought at a joke store in Lubbock.

“The chicken is his own bird, he knows when he wants to go up and come down,” Snead said halfjokingly. “The chicken represents the duality of man and its plot against baseball. It also represents the paradigm shift from Heisenberg’s theory of un-

Tech sweeps doubleheader against North Texas

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

MCKENZI MORRIS/The Daily Toreador

Texas Tech players wait for catcher Susan Welborn at home plate after she hit a three-run home run against Iowa State on Sunday at Rocky Johnson Field. The Red Raiders swept a doubleheader on the road at North Texas on Wednesday.

To finish off its final regular season series against a nonconference opponent, the Texas Tech softball team swept the North Texas Mean Green in doubleheader action Wednesday afternoon at Lovelace Stadium, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

In an 8-5 victory to start the doubleheader, Tech opened with a pair of singles from senior center fielder Jordan Bettiol and freshman left fielder Kiani Ramsey at the top of the first. Junior right fielder Kierra Miles then brought three runs in by hammering her 16th home run of the season. After a walk and ground out, junior catcher Susan Welborn kept the Tech offense going in the inning by smacking a home run for a 5-0 lead.

designated player Jessica Hartwell added another run for Tech at the top of the second and in the next inning, senior second baseman Kirsten Schwirtlich hit the third Red Raider home run of the game for a 7-0 Tech advantage.

North Texas attempted to cut into the Red Raider lead by scoring on a single at the bottom of the third and a three-run homer in the fourth. Junior pitcher Mattison Maisel settled down following the three-run homer and kept the Mean Green scoreless until the seventh while Schwirtlich hit another long ball for Tech’s last run of the season.

To close out the series, the Red Raiders pulled off a comeback in a 4-2 victory over North Texas.

Freshman infielder Annelise Oswalt, who played in just six games and recorded five at bats prior to the start of

the second game versus North Texas, made her way into the pitcher’s circle for her first time in her career.

In six and one-third innings, Oswalt allowed just four hits and two earned runs facing North Texas. At the bottom of the second, North Texas scored its only runs in the game with a tworun homer. Senior shortstop Brooke Scott gave the Red Raiders the lead they would maintain for the rest of the game by hitting homer to center field.

The two wins against North Texas brought the Red Raiders to a 23-26 overall record as they prepare to face the Baylor Bears in their last home three-game series.

Tech opens its series against the Bears at 6 p.m. on Friday at Rocky Johnson Field and plays its final home game of the season at noon on Sunday. @DGaytanDT

Tech defeats Abilene Christian on walk-off Darvish set for 1st rehab In a midweek game Wednesday at a neutral site in Midland, the No. 10 Texas Tech baseball team won 5-4 in walk-off fashion against Abilene Christian.

The game was decided in the bottom of the ninth inning when a walk, a single and an intentional walk loaded the bases for junior infielder Hunter Hargrove with no outs.

Hargrove delivered a hit off the wall to win the game.

The two teams played each other tightly for the entire game. Both teams pushed a single run across in the first inning, and the Wildcats went up 3-1 in the fourth inning, according to statbroadcast.com.

Freshman southpaw Erikson Lanning started the game on the mound for the Red Raiders, but he was pulled from the game after allowing the two runs, both of which were unearned.

A pair of junior right-handed pitchers, Ryan Moseley and Robert Dugger, shut down Abilene Christian over the next four and one-third innings.

In the eighth inning, Hargrove led off the inning with a double and later scored off senior catcher Tyler Floyd’s RBI single, according to statbroadcast.com.

The game was tied up again when the Wildcats scored a run on a throwing error with two outs in the ninth inning before Hargrove ended the game in the bottom of the inning.

ARLINGTON (AP) — Texas Rangers ace Yu Darvish is scheduled to pitch Sunday in his first minor league rehab start since Tommy John surgery more than 13 months ago.

The Rangers said Darvish will pitch for Double-A Frisco in its home game against Corpus Christi. Darvish will go two innings or about 30 pitches.

While walking through the clubhouse Wednesday, a day after throwing 40 pitches during his latest live batting practice session, Darvish said he was feeling good.

Darvish last pitched in a major league game Aug. 9, 2014, then missed the end of that season because of right elbow inflammation.

He pitched only one inning

the following spring before surgery on March 17, 2015.

The 29-year-old righthander was 39-25 with a 3.27 ERA and 680 strikeouts in 83 starts for Texas from 2012-14, after seven seasons in Japan. He was an All-Star in each of his first three seasons for the Rangers.

Darvish could be back in the Rangers rotation the second half of May. Manager Jeff Banister said Darvish has been eager throughout the process and wants to get back on the road to getting back in the majors.

The 40-pitch BP session Tuesday was Darvish’s third on the field. There was another session in an indoor batting cage without hitters swinging on the same day the Rangers had a game rained out.

Multiple Tech players could be drafted O

ver the next three days, the National Football League’s draft of seven rounds will take place in Chicago. Multiple Texas Tech players have a chance to be drafted or signed as undrafted free agents.

Offensive lineman Le’Raven Clark will be the first Red Raider to have his name called in the draft this year. What remains to be seen is whether Clark is taken on Thursday or Friday, meaning in the first round or after.

Clark is one of the most decorated offensive linemen in this year’s class after starting every game over his four-year career and winning All-Big 12 Conference and All-American honors multiple times.

He consistently shutdown opposing teams’ best pass

Jeremy Krakosky is a senior marketing and management dual major from Red Oak.

rushers over the year, but there are questions about whether his game can transfer to the NFL stage.

A positive is Clark has great size at 6 feet 6 inches and weighing more than 300 pounds. But, playing the air raid offense, the offensive tackle almost always lined up standing nearly straight up. Clark will have to show he can react to defenders from a three-point stance if he wants to succeed in the NFL. Projected round: early second

Inside receiver and return specialist Jakeem Grant has been one of the fastest and hardest to tackle college football players in the country for years.

His elite level speed was on display at Tech pro day when he ran a blistering 40yard dash time. Some scouts clocked his time at just less than 4.2 seconds.

The obvious knock on Grant is he stands at only 5 feet 7 inches. Grant has been outspoken about this matter and is ready to prove short receivers can produce too.

Grant also does not catch the ball at a high level, as he had some drops in each of his collegiate seasons.

While many teams are going to pass on Grant, if a team

gives him a chance, he could be a real weapon as a return man and even an inside receiver.

Projected round: late fifth Texas Tech is definitely not known for producing solid NFL defensive players, but Pete Robertson has a ton of talent.

Standing at 6 feet 3 inches and 239 pounds, according to the Tech Athletics website, Robertson was one of the most feared pass rushers in the Big 12 in 2014. He led the conference with 12 sacks and had 14.5 tackles for loss.

Robertson might have been drafted in the top half of the draft if he produced like that last season, but his sack numbers dropped off dramatically.

His drop off in production was not because of his play, however, because of a change

in defensive scheme. Robertson was not asked to rush the quarterback as much during his senior season and dropped into more pass coverage. He still has 13.5 tackles for loss in this role.

While Robertson is truly a pass rusher, he is too small to be an NFL defensive end. He likely needs to be picked up by a team that runs a 3-4 defense and he can play outside linebacker.

Projected round: late sixth DeAndre Washington did something many thought was impossible in a Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury air raid offense: rush for 1,000 yards in a season.

Washington not only broke the century mark, but did it in backto-back seasons by a long shot.

Washington did it all as a Red Raider — explosive plays, goal line plays, caught the ball

Fan Expo attorney Michael Hurst said in an email to The Associated Press. “We’re proud to help our clients stand up for their rights.”

The NFL didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

In the filing for a temporary injunction, Fax Expo attorneys wrote that the NFL was telling sponsors to withdraw from the event because of pending litigation stemming from a lawsuit filed after last year’s event was called off.

EA Sports withdrew from the event Monday, followed the next day by another confirmed sponsor and a prospective one, according to the filing seeking an injunction.

“The NFL is attempting to shut down the 2016 NFFC event, and thus there is no measure of monetary damages which can compensate (Fax Expo) if the NFL continues to interfere,” lawyers wrote in the filing.

The NFL’s issue with the original event was a plan to hold it at the Sands Expo, a convention center that is part of the Venetian Resort but doesn’t have gambling or slot machines.

DALLAS (AP) — A fantasy football company partly owned by Dallas quarterback Tony Romo is fighting the NFL in court again, this time claiming the league is interfering with a second attempt to hold a fan-centric convention by asking sponsors not to participate.

A Dallas judge on Wednesday granted Romo’s company, Fan Expo LLC, a temporary injunction that bars the NFL from contacting sponsors after video game company EA Sports withdrew this week from the National Fantasy Football Convention planned for the Los Angeles area in July.

A hearing for a permanent injunction was scheduled for May 11.

The inaugural event was supposed to be last summer in Las Vegas, but was called off after organizers accused the NFL of threatening players with fines or suspensions if they participated because of the venue’s ties to gambling.

“The NFL was not satisfied with torpedoing the 2015 NFFC, but has now engaged in a separate campaign to go after our sponsors for the 2016 event,”

Tech prepares for weekend meets The Texas Tech track and field team racked up 30 personal bests, four top 10 all-time school marks, three stadium records and one NCAA leading mark, at the Michael Johnson Invitational on Saturday, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Senior Hannah Carson, in her fourth and farthest toss of the day in the javelin throw, threw for a distance of 60.42m/198-3, placing her at No. 12 in the world, according to the release.

Carson’s throw on Saturday gave her the NCAA lead in the event, but she said she thinks she can keep improving.

“Me and my coach are both confident that this was just the beginning of something great,” Carson said. “We are really looking forward to UTEP and obviously looking forward to the end of the year, because that’s usually around the time where I excel the most.”

Tech coach Wes Kittley is impressed in Carson’s success at the end of the season and plans to see more out of her as the season continues.

“It’s incredible,” Kittley said.

“She’s really coming along in the end of the year when we want her to hit the big marks. I’m really proud of her and I think she

out of the backfield and even fought hard on pass protection.

The running back is also incredibly tough, having never gotten hurt over his final two seasons.

One downside on Washington is also the only area he cannot control: his size. At 5 feet 8 inches, many scouts have shied away from him.

Whichever teams gives Washington a shot will likely not regret it and could have one of the best late round steals of the draft.

Projected round: late seventh Other Red Raiders that will be signed as free agents after the draft: Micah Awe, Branden Jackson, Rika Levi, Alfredo Morales and Taylor Symmank.

Monsanto officials visit Tech

By SHASHIDHAR SASTRY Staff Writer

Officials from Monsanto came to Texas Tech for a daylong visit on Wednesday. They toured several Tech facilities and engaged in discussions with faculty and students.

Before arriving on the main campus, Monsanto officials visited the Monsanto Cottonseed Production Facility in the morning.

The 500,000 square foot facility, which is still under construction, broke ground only last month. According to a news release from Monsanto, the agriculture company had announced earlier this year its plans for the $140 million facility in Lubbock.

The Lubbock site will be established as Monsanto’s primary hub in the U.S. for all commercial cottonseed processing, including cleaning, treating and bagging of cottonseed, according to the news release. It is expected to be completed by May 2017.

“It’s an important investment for us, as a company,

because it will become our centerpiece for cotton production,” Robert Fraley, executive vice president and chief technology officer for Monsanto, said. “We will produce cotton for the entire United States in that facility.”

Following the visit to the cottonseed facility, the officials met with Tech Interim President John Opperman in the president’s office. They met also with Rattikorn Hewett, professor and department chair of computer science, and had lunch with Tech Vice President for Strategic Research Initiatives Robert Duncan.

The officials spent the remainder of the day giving presentations and engaging in discussions with students and faculty from various colleges on campus, namely, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering, the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources and the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration.

“I always like the opportu-

nity to talk to students, and hopefully I will be able to recruit a few of them to join Monsanto,” Fraley said. “We’ve had a long history of collaborating with Texas Tech.”

Monsanto collaborates with universities to further both the company’s and the institutions’ goals of STEM education, development of new agriculture products and enhancement of communication, Fraley said.

Communication is important because only 1 percent of the total U.S. population is involved in farming, he said, and as such the other 99 percent needs to be educated about food security and developments in agricultural science. Additionally, communication plays an equally important role in policymaking.

“As important as the science is, we also know that the public has a great interest in food and where food comes from,” Fraley said. “While great science is essential to create the products, it’s insufficient.”

Fraley, along with the other five Monsanto officials, con-

cluded their visit with a tour of the Rawls College of Business.

This was not Fraley’s first visit to Lubbock. He was here around 10 years

ago, he said, to work on a water-management project conducted in Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas.

“It’s good to be back. It’s

good to see a lot of the progress and evolution of the science,” he said. “This is an important site for us.” @sastryshashi_DT

CAMPUS

RISE uses Denim day to raise sexual assault awareness across Tech campus

By ALEXA ROSAS Staff Writer

In the 1990s, an Italian court ruled against a plaintiff in a sexual assault case because the victim was wearing tight jeans.

Since the woman’s jeans were fitted, she must have taken them off herself, thus leading the court to consider that consent, Anneliese Bustillo, support coordinator for the Risk Intervention and Safety Education office at Texas Tech, said.

Since this court case, Bustillo said, people have been wearing jeans on this day as a sign of solidarity for victims of sexual assault everywhere.

“I hope that Tech students take away that your clothes do

not give consent,” Annika Conrick, a freshman history major and officer in the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance, said.

“Nothing gives consent except for a sober, verbal, enthusiastic ‘yes.’”

In addition to teaching Tech students about consent, this month is also about educating students on issues such as sexual assault and about putting an end to rape culture.

“It’s important for our students to expand their horizons and learn more about issues like sexual assault,” Bustillo said.

“But also this campus is full of sexual assault survivors. If they can have one day a year where they look across campus and see how many people support them, that can be really empowering.”

Rape culture includes the issues society has when it comes to rape, Conrick said. Rape culture can include blaming the victim for their assault, being inactive as a bystander when a dangerous situation is occurring and in all, ignoring rape.

Denim Day, which took place Wednesday, is part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The RISE office created a flier that was sent campus-wide to be edited by different departments and displayed around offices and classrooms. The Women’s Studies Program hosted a forum to discuss this day as well.

In the future, Bustillo said, RISE hopes to continue to honor this day by increasing student involvement and support.

“No choices that you make should result in sexual assault,” Bustillo said. “The jeans that you

wear, the clothing that you wear, if you drink, where you were and things like that — none of those

are excuses for someone to sexually assault you.” @DTalexarosas

We start with 100 percent ground chuck for our handmade hamburger patties. Our buns are baked fresh daily. We hand cut our french fries and our onion rings, chile sticks and jala-

peño rings are hand-battered right before cooking. We go through gallons of homemade ranch dressing every day and custom blend our signature spices to bring out the flavor of everything we cook. Only Blue Bell ice cream is good enough for our milkshakes.

Our customers expect the best, and we wouldn’t do it any other way.

Carol of Lights housing.ttu.edu/caroloflights “Riding Into the Sunset” statue www.ttu.edu/traditions/rogers.php

ne of the most wellknown landmarks on campus is the statue of Will Rogers and his horse, Soapsuds. This memorial was dedicated on Feb. 16, 1950. The statue stands at 9’11” tall and weighs 3,200 pounds.

On the base of the statue, the inscription reads “Lovable Old Will Rogers on his

favorite horse, Soapsuds, riding into the Western sunset.”

According to legend, the plan to have Rogers riding off into the sunset did not work out as Soapsuds’ rear would be facing downtown Lubbock. The statue was turned 23 degrees to the east so the horse’s posterior faces in the direction of Texas A&M, one of Tech’s rivals.
