Texas bills consider more abortion limits

By KRISTEN BARTON La Vida Editor

AUSTIN (AP) — Two years after Texas adopted sweeping abortion restrictions despite Wendy Davis’ star-making filibuster, Republicans are pushing a smaller encore of additional limits for new Gov. Greg Abbott to sign within the next month.

New battlegrounds over abortion access for minors and insurance don’t pack the same impact of a 2013 measure that would leave as few as eight abortion facilities in Texas if a federal appeals court upholds stringent new clinic standards.

That decision is potentially still weeks out.

But while other conservative states such as Kansas and Tennessee have moved to the front line of national abortion politics, Texas Republicans are signaling they are far from finished.

One bill up for discussion Wednesday would hold doctors or counselors criminally liable if they were found to have coerced a woman into ending a pregnancy. It was proposed by a first-term Republican who says she was pressured into an abortion as a teenager.

Another that advanced to the House floor this week would make it harder for girls under 18 to get approval from a court to have an abortion if they can’t get required consent from their parents.

As the use of social media rises, Texas Tech wants to ensure it has the most cutting-edge ways to reach out to its students.

In order to reach this goal, Allison Matherly, coordinator for digital engagement at Tech, created the Tech Snapchat account. The account was previously used during football season, Matherly said, and the university wants to use it for a variety of other events.

One of the purposes of the account is to get involved with prospective students. The university sent a flier to students who were accepted to the university urging them to

twitter.com/DailyToreador

take a selfie, add their username and send it to texastechuniv on Snapchat.

Matherly then adds a Tech graphic and sends it back to the user and reposted it on the Tech story.

“The campaign we’re doing is specifically for admitted undergrad students,” she said. “This is the last mail piece they get from the university to encourage them to attend.”

In the past, the university sent paper Raider Red mustaches in the mail for students to take a photo with and share online with #IAmARedRaider, Matherly said. This is a more personal way to reach out to students than what Tech has done in the past.

The university wanted to do something different, Matherly said, because each group of students is different. The Communications and Marketing team wants to be on the cutting edge of social media, and Snapchat was the best option to bring innovation and attract students.

“It shows really well how being

here is because we’re really spirit oriented,” she said. “We’ve got this family aspect, I always feel like the Red Raider family is not just a term we use, it’s pretty accurate.”

The Snapchat campaign is a good way to bring students into that family, she said.

Rony Dixon, a graphic designer for Tech, created the graphics Tech applies to the Snapchats for the Tech Snapchat story. When Matherly had the idea to use Snapchat, they knew it was the best option, he said.

“I like Snapchat a lot because there is a lot of creativity to it,” Dixon said. “You take a picture and you can draw on it or write some funny phrase on it.”

Dixon said when he was designing the Snapchat graphics he wanted them to be fun and creative, like the app itself. He wanted to make it happy, colorful and fun.

AT&T fires president because of racist text LOS ANGELES (AP) — AT&T Inc. on Tuesday confirmed that it has fired Aaron Slator, a president who became the subject of a $100 million discrimination lawsuit for using his work phone to send racially offensive images.

“There is no place for demeaning behavior within AT&T and we regret the action was not taken earlier,” the company said.

The images in question were found on Slator’s phone by an assistant who was asked to transfer data to a new phone, according to the lawsuit filed Monday by Knoyme King, a 50-year-old black woman who worked for Slator.

One of the images, apparently of an African child dancing with the caption “It’s Friday ...” followed by a term offensive to African Americans, had been sent in a text describing it as an “oldie but a goodie,” the lawsuit said.

The suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, names as defendants Slator, the company, CEO Randall Stephenson, other executives and board member Joyce Roche.

Slator was president of content and advertising sales, managing its multibilliondollar budget for content acquisition that is consumed by subscribers of Dallas-based AT&T’s U-verse TV service.

Plans for Catholic Student Center announced

By AMY CUNNINGHAM NEws Editor

Representatives of the Catholic Diocese of Lubbock and Saint Elizabeth University Parish believe Texas Tech needs a strong campus ministry.

As a result, the Raider Promise Capital Campaign was announced Tuesday with a goal of building and supporting the John Saleh Catholic Student Center, which will cost $6.8 million. The campaign has already raised $5 million.

The 18,888 square foot facility would be four times larger than the current Catholic Campus Ministry facility, according to a campaign news release, and would serve the estimated 19 percent of Tech students who identify as Roman Catholics.

“The Diocese of Lubbock is most happy to announce a new Catholic student center to serve Texas Tech University students and the Texas Tech University as well,” Most Rev. Plácido Rodríguez, bishop of Lubbock, said. “We want to name it the John Saleh Catholic Student Center after the great Catholic benefactor who wished to promote the ministry to students attending Texas Tech University.”

The majority of the $6.8 million needed to construct the facility has already been raised because of Saleh’s estate, Rodríguez PHOTO BY ADRIAN ITO/The Daily Toreador said.

Student death caused by distraction, speed The Texas Department of Public Safety released a crash report Tuesday indicating speed and distracted driving contributed to the April 7 death of Texas Tech student Madison Lockaby, a freshman animal and food sciences major from Tahoka.

The crash that killed 19-year-old Lockaby also killed Canadian couple Dayl and Heiki Schueller, both 72.

“Unit #1 (Lockaby’s vehicle) was traveling south on US-87. A witness statement prior to the crash indicated the driver of Unit #1 was focused on a mobile device, driving multiple lanes,” according to the report.

Lockaby’s vehicle struck the left back corner of a pickup truck that was also traveling southbound on US-87, according to the report.

Upon striking the vehicle, Lockaby’s car “veered sharply to the southeast,” according to the report, while the pickup truck stopped in the southbound shoulder, facing south.

Lockaby’s vehicle continued onto northbound US-87, according to the report, and it hit the front left corner of the RV the Schuellers were in.

Once both vehicles came to rest, the RV caught on fire, according to the report. The fire then spread to Lockaby’s vehicle and both vehicles burned.

Lockaby and the Schueller couple died at the scene, according to the report. The driver and passenger in the pickup truck did not sustain life-threatening injuries.

The Lockaby family has requested donations be given in Lockaby’s name to a scholarship fund in College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador. ➤➤@DailyToreador

Tech students react to Baltimore riots Staff Writer

Emotional unrest surged through the nation after riots broke out in Baltimore on Monday after the funeral of 25-yearold Freddie Gray, who died in Baltimore Police Department custody April 19.

People across the nation and at Texas Tech had differing opinions about the death of Gray and subsequent riots.

“Well, I thought it was crazy, you know,” Matthew Tilahun, a senior business major from Houston, said.”I felt like there should be a peaceful way of showing this anger.”

The uprising started in West Baltimore on Monday afternoon, hours after Gray’s funeral, according to an Associated Press article. By midnight, the rioting had spread to East Baltimore and neighborhoods close to downtown and near the baseball stadium.

Gray was arrested April 12 after

running away at the sight of police, according to the article. He was held down by officers, handcuffed and loaded into a police van.

Gray died of a spinal cord injury a week later, according to the article.

“I’m not supporting what the police did, but I’m not supporting what the people are doing, too,” Tilahun said. “You don’t fix something that’s wrong by doing something wrong.

I don’t think that they should use violence to fix the problem.”

There should be some kind of change, he said, because it is not just a race issue.

Police officers should be trained better, Tilahun said, so they are able to handle pressure from the job and incidences such as these are minimized.

Osvaldo Moreno, a junior petroleum engineering major from Dallas, said the rioters should not be blamed because protesting is the only way for people to express their frustration and anger when they do not have voices.

“I don’t think that’s the way what they do anymore.

He said police officers hunt they should do it, but I understand why they’re doing it,” for people who have not comMoreno said. “You would think mitted any crimes.

Nonprofit collects donations for Nepal Breedlove Foods, a local nonprofit organization, is gathering donations to send to the country of Nepal, which was impacted by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on Saturday.

force police departments across the country to train their officers again, but he can work with them and help pay for body cameras to improve accountability, according to an Associated Press article.

Chris Sullivan, a junior university studies major from Tyler, said he first came across the news on Facebook, and it made him think of the Ferguson, Missouri case of Michael Brown last year that also involved a police officer and the death of a black male.

One can protest peacefully instead of riots and violence, Sullivan said, and that only results in more harm.

“It’s just not what our country stands for,” Sullivan said. “We have a long history of the Civil Rights Movement and stuff like that. We’re based on the principles of peace.”

In the past year, domestic violence has sparked in the U.S., he said.

It is a free nation, he said, and people can protest or disagree on issues but do not need to break

out and commit acts of violence.

Austin Eubank, a freshman computer science major from Lubbock, said the whole issue is suspicious.

“I haven’t heard any, what I would regard, good investigated journalism,” Eubank said. “I would want to look into the funding and the control of the organizations that organized the protest and their connections with political leaders, their connections with business leaders and try to figure out what exactly is going on.”

If journalists are not revealing those connections, Eubank said, then they are not investigating and getting to the bottom of the whole matter.

As a result, he said it is hard to choose sides and say exactly what is going on.

As far as the protestors go, he said, there could be many different motives for why they are out there.

Texas inmate facing execution wins reprieve from judge HUNTSVILLE (AP) — A Texas judge on Tuesday halted the execution of an inmate convicted of stabbing a corrections officer to death more than 15 years ago.

Robert Pruett received the reprieve from Judge Bert Richardson just hours before he could have been taken to the Texas death chamber at a Huntsville prison. Richardson, a judge on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, is serving as a visiting judge in the district court where Pruett was convicted.

Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark said Pruett told him that he was “excited to hear the news” and then returned to a different prison where death row inmates are housed about 45 miles away.

Richardson’s order was in response to a motion from Pruett’s attorneys, who sought new DNA tests on the piece of metal used to kill 37-year-old

officer Daniel Nagle in December 1999 at a South Texas prison.

Richardson said while the request from Pruett’s lawyers “no doubt” was meant to delay the punishment and such tactics “appear to be unreasonable, it is not clear they, in fact, are unreasonable.”

The reprieve came as the U.S. Supreme Court considered at least three appeals from Pruett’s attorneys.

Hours later, the high court denied all of the appeals, which had no effect on the reprieve.

Pruett, 35, would have been the seventh inmate put to death this year in Texas. His lawyers contend he is innocent.

Appeals attorney David Dow denied that the DNA request was a deliberate strategy to delay the execution.

“I understand the court’s frustration, everybody’s frustration,” he said.

“Our belief is when the evidence comes back, they’re all going to stop complaining that we engaged in dila-

Dow specifically asked for DNA testing of the metal rod used to kill Nagle and masking tape that formed a handle on the rod.

He said while they believed testing was done in 2000, newer testing techniques are now available.

The judge said it’s unlikely but “not impossible to conceive” that results of new tests could be favorable to Pruett. He ordered the tests to be complete and results available by May 28.

Pruett was imprisoned at the McConnell Unit when he got into a fatal fight with Nagle over a peanut butter sandwich.

Evidence showed Pruett wanted to take his bag lunch into a recreation yard, but this was against the rules, so Nagle wrote a disciplinary report. Prosecutors said this angered Pruett, who stabbed Nagle with the 7-inchlong sharpened metal rod.

Students should not fear graduation

A

s another spring semester comes to an end, seniors are planning to continue their lives in a career of their choice. However, how many seniors are certain of their future endeavors? Many may have a job lined up already, but there are also those who will be leaving college clueless as to what is next for them.

The idea of the unknown can be scary and stressful when it comes to a person’s future career.

Students attend a university for four years and are expected to leave set on a direction of where to begin their future, but sometimes it is not always as easy as it appears.

Permanent decisions are hard to make — even a simple major change can lead a student in a whole new direction.

“The National Center for Education Statistics estimated 80 percent of college students change their major at least once while in college,” according to the Borderzine website.

Colleges allow students to enroll in various classes that may inspire them to achieve a new and spontaneous career path, but not everyone is interested in the typical nine-to-five job. Some students may be motivated to achieve a higher status in their degree, so they choose to enroll in graduate school.

Graduate schools offer stu-

dents a chance to become more familiar with the field in which they have chosen to study.

Graduate schools focusing on the field of psychology can take up to six years to complete, while others in fields such as mass communications can take as little as a year to complete.

According to the Council of Graduate Schools website there were 1.98 million applications submitted to graduate schools in the U.S. during the 2012 school year. Imagine how much that number has increased in just three years.

These alternative future endeavors have become increasingly popular amongst the new generation of graduating seniors, and some have even argued grad school is soon to become a requirement for obtaining a substantial career.

Graduate school is sometimes desired by many in order to obtain the title of “Dr.,” but by others it is a chance to advance themselves in their field of study and truly master what they do for a living.

However, imagine having to take not just four years after high school, but another 3-6 years outside of being an undergraduate? The endless mayhem of schoolwork can be immense for a senior to carry and the last thing on his or her mind is continuing on with more of an academic workload.

After four years, many seniors may desire to take a semester or a year off before continuing with graduate school or their career, and instead choose to travel the world. This route sometimes allows students to clear their minds of distractions and ponder on what they have succeeded in and figure out what they still have to accomplish in their lives.

Being unsure of what you plan to do after college does not have to be scary or stressful, because graduating with a degree in a certain field does not limit one to what they can accomplish.

If a student graduates with a degree in art and realizes he or she wants to become an attorney, then he or she should forget the degree and pursue a career as an attorney. It may come with added expenses and more time dedicated to the new career path, but the attempt is what matters.

Students must balance finals study time Jarrod Miller within anxious students.

By having students partake in complex reading and math experiments, researchers discovered the anxious students repeatedly took longer to perform academic tasks.

While these students felt lingering stress to preform better, this stress actually caused them to spend more time lingering. These results reflect the hypocritical nature of anxiety. Students may think worrying will help them think of every possibility, but it only makes work harder for students.

To combat stress and anxiety, students should remember to retain a healthy and balanced lifestyle during finals week. The finals frenzy mindset is difficult to lose, but once students start balancing study, socializing and sleep again, they will be more efficient in their study time, as well as have a healthier lifestyle.

It is just as important to mentally separate these activities as it is to physically plan out time for these activities. Similar to symptoms of a workaholic, many students remain tormented about their work in their leisure time and sleep. In the report, “Understanding and Treating Workaholism” by Dr. Corine van Wijhe, van Wijhe describes how these

workers, “are reluctant to disengage from work and persistently and frequently think about work when they are not at work – they are obsessed workers.”

Like many workers, students are unable to enjoy the benefits of healthy sleep, social activities and leisure due to overthinking their studies. Unfortunately, these areas are not expendable. The human brain requires rest, proper nourishment and recuperation time. A brain-dead student is an inefficient student, and an inefficient student is often a poor-scoring student.

Interestingly, in van Wijhe’s report of workaholism, she discusses the difficulty in spotting workaholism. Van Wijhe writes that workaholism is a “well-dressed addiction.” Because hard work is considered a key virtue in society, workaholism is much harder to spot than an addiction such as alcoholism or drug abuse. Like overworking, studying is always seen in a positive light, even when in excess. Because overstudying does not display criminal behavior, there will be little societal pressure to stop the problem.

Because of the lack of societal pressure on students to keep a healthy lifestyle, students must bear the responsibility to keep their lives balanced during finals week. Eating healthy, sleeping well and taking a night off are vital elements to sustaining mental health during finals week.

Not only will maintaining a healthy lifestyle help students feel, act and look better than stressed students, it will also help them to excel in their final exams.

Fortunately, there are ways to study thoroughly while staying sane. To those who are unprepared, finals week can be unforgiving. To those who can successfully balance study time, social time and rest time, finals week is just another speed bump on the road to success.

With the extreme pressures of exams, students must be proactive to combat anxiety. Stress and anxiety not only make students miserable, but also lead to lower academic performance. In a report titled “The Impact of Anxiety on Student Performance” by Macquarie University’s Centre for Emotional Health, Dr. Heidi Lyneham elaborates on why highly anxious students score lower than peers on tests and exams. Anxiety and stress can negatively impact students’ attention, concentration and memory.

If students believe the anxiety is somehow helping them remain focused on the upcoming finals, they are sorely mistaken. In the report, “Anxiety’s Hidden Cost In Academic Performance,” published by the Economic and Social Research Council, researchers noted a decreased efficiency in work performance

Sure Shots

By Luke Watson

Society should read Silas Mamer novel

G

eorge Eliot, who is a pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans, wrote a brilliant novel that I am fairly fond of. Mary Ann Evans had a unique perspective on life that was rather grim, and she rarely trusted people. Through this outlook, she brought simple truths and light to the ongoing circumstances in the book, “Silas Marner.”

The novel starts with an introduction of Silas Marner, a weaver who has a lonely life outside of a small English town, his only companion a pot of gold. Much like the character of Scrooge in Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” there is hope for a transformation. A more complete picture of the life Silas endured is shown through a quote from the second chapter of Eliot’s “Silas Marner.”

“He seemed to weave, like the spider, from pure impulse, without reflection. Every man’s work, pursued steadily, tends in this way to become an end in itself, and so to bridge over the loveless chasms of life… Then there were the calls of hunger; and Silas, in his solitude, had to provide his own breakfast, dinner and supper, to fetch his own water from the well, and put his own kettle on the fire; and all these immediate promptings helped, along with the weaving, to reduce his life to the unquestioning activity of a spinning insect. He hated the thought of the past; there was nothing that called out his love and fellowship toward the strangers he had come amongst; and the future was all dark, for there was no Unseen Love that cared for him,” according to the novel.

The most precious item the loom tender owns is the gold.

Such treasure is often the only way to wake a person from his or her current existence to a more heightened reality of a larger world in many cases. Ironically, a rough character of the neighbor-

Kendra Kimberlin ing town, Dunston Cass, steals the treasured gold coins.

Silas Marner is then forced to change his focus from hoarding gold to instead focus on the kindness of the strangers he has lived amongst to provide work.

He does this by forming a relationship with a noisy neighbor who offers an endless stream of unwarranted advice. Yet through all this change the weaver endures, he has yet another surprise awaiting him when going out for a pail of water.

A young girl walks into Silas’ humble abode after her mother dies on the side of the road during a bitter cold winter. The weaver, not having clear eyesight, mistakes the golden curls of the youngster to be his gold returned. After further examination he finds it is indeed not his gold. As expected, he follows the treads of the girl to find the mother and goes into town to report the death.

This event begins a whole new chain of events where the true father of the child decides not to speak up because of his new engagement to a new woman who holds his tongue.

Silas is then in charge of the girl, who comes to be a well-loved

“

“Silas Mamer” may have been written in the Victorian era, but it can still teach us about human nature if we allow it.

child by everyone in the community. The child, named Eppie, becomes a woman and falls in love, as coincidence would have it, the same day she becomes engaged. Her true father wants to adopt her — this is brought on by the discovery of the gold coins as well as expounded by the fact that his wife has not been able to bear a child. Silas refuses to give Eppie up, and Eppie refuses to leave Silas because of his role as a father figure for so long in her life.

The entire novel can be eloquently summed up by the following quote, “In old days there were angels who came and took men by the hand and led them away from the city of destruction. We see no whitewinged angels now. But yet men are led away from threatening destruction: a hand is put into theirs, which leads them forth gently toward a calm and bright land, so that they look no more backward; and the hand may be a little child’s,” according to the novel.

This short novel packs many questions about relationships and human nature in the purest forms of intentions people have with others. “Silas Marner” may have been written in the Victorian era, but it can still teach us about human nature if we allow it.

Riots need to be looked at on both sides I

n light of recent events, much of what has been in the news has to do more with racism than many people might feel comfortable talking about. But in that discomfort there should be a lesson rising.

Following the death of Freddie Gray of Baltimore, an unarmed black man who died from spinal injuries said to be sustained during an arrest, what started as a peaceful protest got out of hand Monday afternoon as riots began to spread all across the city of Baltimore, according to a CNN article.

Beginning by throwing rocks at police trying to control protests, the violence quickly escalated into an animal too fierce to tame, resulting in buildings being looted and burned down. With all forms of news coverage on the event, thoughts, opinions

Michael Cantu

and words of advice were flooding social media as the events were reported on.

In this, a slew of media coverage was commented on by people weighing in with their thoughts about the riots, but these exercises of free speech showed how close people of this nation are to racism. Most of what was being said had much to do with the fact that many rioters just so happened to be black, and didn’t really look into the actions leading up to this point.

There are many who say that regardless of race, these protests should have never turned violent, and they are correct. There are also many people who say there are reasons these protests needed to happen and their voices should be heard, and they are also correct.

If there are any fingers to be pointed, they definitely should be pointed at the media and other sources covering the events of this week. Most headlines are filled with damaging language such as “thugs” and “criminals,” unfairly profiling these young adults who might be angry and have no other way of letting it out.

In a press conference Tuesday afternoon, President Barack Obama criticized much of the media for only covering the violent parts of this situation and not giving enough praise

BIRDHOUSE BUILDIN’

to those who were out days before protesting the death of an unarmed black man peacefully. He said we shouldn’t wait until someone burns down a building or loots a store to put media coverage on an issue, and pointed out that there was hardly any coverage on the peaceful rallies.

This is partly to blame for the problem, because the sources gathering news find only the stories they want to cover. Through this there is a bias mostly geared toward what side of the spectrum they might lean toward and not, as commonly misconceived, fair reporting. In coverage like this, all aspects of fair reporting get thrown out the window.

News sources are not the only things giving those who are angry about police violence a bad rap, but it is the side of inequality many

times overlooked. Expecting young people born into a violent society to suceed, with not much opportunity foe success, only leads to issues such as this. Sometimes people don’t know anything but violence, and that is the only way they feel they can speak out.

It’s unfair to say those rioting should just find something better to do, because they probably can’t. These are people who have only seen unjust racism and violence throughout their lives, and there is no way anyone can expect them to react to something so blatantly violent and corrupt in a peaceful way. It is usually those who are privileged enough to be born in a peaceful part of society who are the most critical of these actions, and if you think about it, they suffer

from the same problem, and they don’t know any better.

Violence doesn’t solve violence, but it definitely does shine a light on things that do need to be fixed. If we continually blame those who are victimized by society, then all we are doing is putting ourselves back to the pre-civil rights era of the U.S. Instead of blaming people for actions that you don’t understand, how about thinking the whole situation through and put yourself in that person’s shoes? It is only then you can understand where the feelings of anger are coming from.

Tech to compete in energy innovation competition Four Texas Tech students will compete against teams from various Texas universities in the 2015 Texas Energy Innovation Challenge on Friday in Austin, according to a news release.

The competition is sponsored by Power Across Texas, according to the release, and the overall goal is to develop new and economic ways to use water from the hydraulic fracturing of wells.

According to the release, the Tech team consists of Ebru Unal, a doctoral student in the Depart-

ment of Petroleum Engineering, James Urban, a master’s student in the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration, Ritesh Sevanthi, a doctoral student and Soraya Honarparvar, a doctoral student in the Department of Chemical Engineering.

The students will submit a written report and present their research orally, and the judges come from fields such as water resource businesses and oil and gas exploration companies.

Danny Reible, the Donovan Maddox Distinguished Engineer-

ing Chair and professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering, is the team’s sponsor.

“This water can be a small but important piece of the overall Texas water puzzle, particularly in parched West Texas,” he said in the news release. “The task was made difficult by the poor quality of this water, primarily because of the high salt content, often triple that of seawater, found in these subsurface formations.” ➤➤@JenRomeroDT

Clinton fundraisers show scope of family network WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton is tapping some of the biggest donors to her family’s philanthropy for her presidential campaign, even as the charity is under scrutiny over its own fundraising practices.

Starting what could be a $1 billionplus fundraising effort, Clinton began raising money for her presidential bid Tuesday in New York, the state she represented in the Senate. The hosts’ connections with the Clinton Foundation show how intertwined the charity is with Clinton’s political career. Even her campaign finance director, Dennis Cheng, had a leading fundraiser role at the foundation before departing for the campaign.

The former secretary of state has faced persistent questions about the foundation’s acceptance of donations from foreign countries and its corporate ties in recent weeks.

And as she starts holding fundraisers this week, plenty of overlap can be seen between long-term political donors and foundation funders.

In New York, Clinton’s first event was at the home of fashion designer Lisa Perry, a longtime Democratic donor to Hillary Clinton’s campaigns, and husband Richard C. Perry. A hedge fund executive, Richard Perry has donated between $250,000 and $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation, according to the foundation’s voluntary disclosures, and supported Hillary Clinton’s Senate and presidential bids.

A second event is co-hosted

by Alan Patricof, the finance

chairman for Clinton’s Senate campaigns. He and his wife donated between $100,000 and $250,000 to the foundation.

Speaking to 150 donors gathered in a midtown Manhattan apartment at the third event of the day, Clinton stressed her commitment to reforming the campaign finance system — and her goal of raising $100 million for her primary campaign.

“I feel that’s certainly within reach,” she said. “We have put together a terrific campaign team. It’s kind of like the old Girl Scout song: Make new friends, but keep the old.”

One of Clinton’s fundraisers in Washington on Thursday will be at the Georgetown home of Elizabeth Frawley Bagley, a longtime Clinton friend who served as ambassador to Portugal. Bagley and her husband, Smith, have donated between $1 million to $5 million to the foundation.

Next week, Clinton will raise money in San Francisco alongside Susie Tompkins Buell, co-founder of the Esprit clothing line and a top donor to Ready for Hillary, the super PAC that helped lay the groundwork for a Clinton campaign. Buell’s family charity has donated between $5 million and $10 million to Clinton’s foundation, records show.

during football season and Arbor Day, Matherly said. It is meant for anyone who loves Tech.

“I’m super excited that it’s going off well,” Dixon said. “It’s really cool, every day I check the Snapchat and see more kids sending them in. A lot of times you don’t get to see how people react to your art as much. It’s nice when I can check Snapchat or Twitter and see kids obviously excited about what we’re selling.” ➤➤@KBartonDT

Texas Tech faculty from the College of Architecture will show their students’ work from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday at the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts.

Lahib Jaddo, the First Friday Art Trail coordinator and associate professor in the College of Architecture, said in a news release Tech architecture students have been showing their work at the First Friday Art Trail for seven years.

“The range of work you will be seeing is from first year through fifth year,” he said in the release. “The classes include creative process, historic preservation, design classes, topical studios, product de-

sign, digital media, digital fabrication and more. The number of students involved is a guess on my part, about 400.”

Friday is also the last day to see the “Land Arts 2014 Exhibition,” according to the news release, which is based on a 6,000mile trip Chris Taylor, director of the Land Arts program, took with students and artists across the Southwest.

The trip took two months in the fall semester, and the group traveled to areas in Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah and Arizona to study how human and natural forces have shaped the modern environment, according

to the release.

“Immersing architecture students in the landscape to work in nature reveals the multitude of intricate connections between people and land that has evolved over thousands of years,” Taylor said in the release. “The relationship between land and people is far more diverse and interwoven than generally portrayed. Exhibiting student work expands the relevancy of their investigations into a larger conversation.”

The Land Arts exhibit has been available Saturday afternoons since it opened for April’s First Friday Art Show, according to the release. ➤➤@JenRomeroDT

Opinions May Vary: Josh Hamilton trade Rangers trade for Hamilton makes sense on all fronts Angels do not want Hamilton, get better end of deal

A

s of Monday, the Texas Rangers have reacquired outfielder Josh Hamilton, and in doing so have shown they not only have the team’s best interests in mind on the field, but off the field as well.

The Rangers, right now, suck.

As far as on-the-field performance goes for a Major League Baseball team, they are about as bad as they can be, checking in at last in the AL West.

Of the 14 Texas players who have taken at least somewhat regular atbats through Monday, nine of them are hitting .200 or below, according to ESPN, with first basemen Mitch Moreland and Prince Fielder as the only two with averages above .300.

Delino Deshields Jr. checks in with the lowest batting average, hitting .091, but the sample size is small at only 11 at-bats on the season.

The more concerning number comes from outfielder Shin Soo-Choo, who in 52 at-bats has compiled a batting average of .096 with an on-base percentage of .254, which is down from his time as the leadoff hitter for the Cincinnati Reds and underwhelming considering the seven-year, $130 million-dollar contract the Rangers game him last offseason.

Several Rangers players noted Choo was one of the hardest-working Rangers following the team’s disastrous 2014 showing, so maybe his bat will eventually heat up, but the Rangers need immediate help, and got it in the form of Hamilton.

The soon to be 34-year-old Hamilton (his birthday is less than a month away) had his season cut short last year because of shoulder problems. During the 2013 season, however, Hamilton hit .250 with 79 RBIs and 21 home runs, according to Baseball Reference.

While those numbers are underwhelming to Angels owner Arte Moreno, who owed Hamilton close to $83 million through 2017, the Rangers would love to get production like

Everett Corder that from an outfielder, especially for the price they are paying.

Similar to the Rangers situation when they sent Alex Rodriguez to the Evil Empire in New York and continued to pay him while he won a championship with the Yankees, the Angels will now be paying Hamilton to play for a rival team.

According to an article in The Dallas Morning News, Los Angeles cut a check to Hamilton worth around $68 million. Hamilton is giving up about $6 million, which ends up being close to the amount he would have paid in California state income tax.

That means the Rangers are going to pay him less than $7 million throughout the next three years, if Hamilton doesn’t use the player option he was granted before the last year of his current contract.

When the Rangers needed a slugger to replace Hamilton after his departure, they gave $11 million for just one year of an aging Lance Berkman. This deal has significantly more potential.

Other than the fact that this makes sense for the Rangers on the field and in the front office, it also helps Hamilton as a human being, which the Angels did not do.

Hamilton has spent a large part of his life in bad places. His cocaine and alcohol addictions are well documented, even in his own book, “Beyond Belief.” The time Hamilton was at his best as an adult, however, both as a baseball player and in his addiction recovery, was from 2008-2012 when he played for the Rangers.

The beginning of the whole es-

capade removing Hamilton from the Angels, at least as revealed to the public, came in January of this year when Hamilton freely admitted he had relapsed and met with the commissioner’s office.

The nature of the relapse, according to the Player’s Association Joint Drug Agreement, should not have been ever released, but somehow it leaked from the Angels organization.

Angels owner Moreno then made several statements hinting Los Angeles had a clause in Hamilton’s contract that could let them off the hook, which is contrary to what any other news source reported at the time of his signing.

Hamilton was then stuck in baseball limbo. The Angels didn’t want him so much that they didn’t give him a locker in the clubhouse and removed any merchandise with his name on it from the team shop. And he couldn’t go anywhere else.

The Rangers players and management have had the opposite attitude, welcoming Hamilton back and realizing he needs strong support around him to reach his highest potential.

“He is a player who can help everybody,” shortstop Elvis Andrus said in an MLB.com article. “He is a guy that we know. When he is at his best, we know what he can do. As long as he is ready to play, I’m good to go. The year he won the MVP, he was tremendous. It was unreal how good he was back then.”

Rangers players and fans may have seen some pretty stupid things from Hamilton, but they also saw him lead the team to consecutive World Series appearances.

While he might not quite reach his AL MVP level again, Hamilton can help the Rangers and the Rangers can help him.

T

he Los Angeles Angels don’t want Josh Hamilton.

After two years with Hamilton on the roster, the deal meant to turn the Angels into a hitting powerhouse never materialized, as Hamilton turned in two lackluster seasons marred by injuries and batting averages not worth a five-year, $125 million contract.

Once Hamilton admitted to a drug and alcohol relapse prior to the 2015 season, the Angels finally had a reason to rid themselves of Hamilton.

For five years Hamilton played All-Star worthy seasons with the Texas Rangers and fans saw his best performances.

The return to the Rangers seems like a step for Hamilton to regain his form and leave an organization that doesn’t appear to want him, but for the Rangers, Hamilton’s move doesn’t address a bigger issue on their roster.

Nothing went right for the Rangers in 2014. Each week it seemed another starting player went to the disabled list, and they worked with a depleted pitching staff. The final blow to the Rangers season came when their ace pitcher, Yu Darvish, finished the season early with elbow problems. The Rangers, with a depleted staff, finished with an earned run average of 4.49, according to ESPN. Only two teams outdid the Rangers in recording a more pitiful ERA. In first month the 2015 season, stars like first baseman Prince Fielder returned back to the roster. Darvish, however, has no possibility of returning after undergoing Tommy John surgery, and half of the Rangers starting rotation still remains on the disabled list. The lack of throwing arms doesn’t veil itself

Diego Gaytan in the results the Rangers have accumulated in April.

Currently, the Rangers look like they may match their 2014 ERA, as they have a 4.37 ERA, No. 25 on a list of 30 teams. Although measuring how the season may go for the Rangers based off just one month of play can appear rash, one can’t ignore the Rangers poor pitching.

With Darvish, Matt Harrison and Derek Holland out for a significant amount of time, the Rangers need starting pitchers who can last at least six innings.

Although right-handed pitcher Nick Martinez has given Rangers fans something to cheer about by giving up only one earned run in four starts, he can’t pitch every game. Although one can argue Hamilton can give the Rangers power hitting, his move presents just a hasty solution to a pitching problem not likely to go away.

At age 33, Hamilton’s career has gone into a decline. Since his American League Most Valuable Player year, Hamilton has not hit above .300, and during his two seasons with the Angel, Hamilton hit .250 in his first season in 2013, .05 below the league average, and .263 in his shortened second season. Hamilton hit 31 home runs in the two seasons combined, 10 home runs fewer than his last year with the Rangers in 2012.

Hamilton’s move could set him up for an increase in production in his first season back with the Rangers, but his off-field issues

make one question how he can affect the team. If the Angels want to rid themselves of Hamilton by selling him at bargain price to the Rangers, they must have a reason as to why. No matter what price they sell Hamilton for, the Angels must endure a large financial loss.

The Angels must have a good reason to sell a million-dollar investment. During his time with the Rangers, Hamilton had a support group for his drug and alcohol addiction, according to a Los Angeles Times article. However, no one knows the Hamilton the Rangers will get in this deal.

The Rangers of 2015 no longer play or look like the Rangers of 2010 and 2011. Their pitching and batting has significantly declined in the past four years. The Rangers start has underwhelmed, but they have time to turn the season around.

The Rangers need a player who represents the future of the team, not a player who reminds them of the past. The Rangers can squeeze a few years out of Hamilton, but after shoulder surgery, the Rangers can’t expect a 33-year-old Hamilton to go for a 40 home run season.

The Rangers can’t expect to rely on Hamilton when their bullpen ranks can’t keep a lead after the sixth and seventh innings. A return to the Rangers can give Hamilton the stability he needs to get his life in order, but from a winning standpoint, the move doesn’t fully benefit the Rangers.

If the Rangers want to win and continue to win, they must invest in a reliable pitching staff, not an outfielder with an uncertain future.

Big 12 working on tiebreakers to crown football champ Climbers say Everest season is over after Nepal quake IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Big 12 is getting closer to deciding how it wants to crown one true champion in football.

Commissioner Bob Bowlsby reiterated Tuesday at the College Football Playoff meetings that his conference is prepared to use head-tohead results to break a two-way tie for first. He added that athletic directors will discuss at league meetings next week in Phoenix different procedures for breaking ties between more than

two teams. Bowlsby told reporters the goal with three or more teams will be to whittle the group down to two and then use head-to-head to crown a champion.

The Big 12 began last season touting its “One True Champion” slogan and ended it with Bowlsby handing out championship trophies to both TCU and Baylor, which beat the Horned Frogs in the regular season.

Both were left out of the College Football Playoff. Baylor coach Art

Briles was among those who felt the Big 12’s decision not to declare a champion hurt the Bears chances to make the first playoff. Baylor finished fifth in the selection committee’s final rankings, right behind Ohio State.

TCU was sixth.

“That will eliminate one of the variables from last year,” Bowlsby said about implementing a tiebreaker.

The other variable was the Big 12 being alone among the Big Five conferences in not having a league championship game, leaving TCU and Baylor with a 12-game resume as compared to Ohio State’s 13. The Buckeyes surged up the rankings thanks to a 59-0 victory in the Big Ten title game against Wisconsin.

Selection committee chairman Jeff Long said after the final rankings were revealed that having an extra game to evaluate the Buckeyes, especially a huge game against a ranked opponent, helped separate Ohio State from the Big 12 teams.

SEATTLE (AP) — All climbers on the Nepal side of Mount Everest have left the mountain and the climbing season is over following a deadly earthquake that left thousands dead in Nepal and dozens of climbers killed or injured after an avalanche swept across the basecamp area, according to guiding companies and individual climbers.

Teams attempting to climb the north side of Everest, the Tibet side, were called back to basecamp over the weekend and were holding discussions with Chinese officials about whether any summit attempts will be possible in the remaining weeks of the spring climbing season, according to Adrian Ballinger, a guide for the Olympic Valley, California-based Alpenglow Expeditions.

Eric Simonson with International Mountain Guides said their team came down with others on the Nepal side who had been trapped above the Khumbu Icefall, which was impassable after the avalanche swept away a fixed route through that section.

“These will be the last of the climbers on the mountain,” he said in a Monday blog post.

The avalanche on Everest killed 18 and injured dozens happened after Saturday’s magnitude 7.8 earthquake killed more than 4,000 people.

Climber and “Everest” filmmaker David Breashears and his

GlacierWorks team had descended to basecamp and on Tuesday were cleaning the site before returning to Kathmandu later in the week, said Ellen Golbranson of the company. Breashears was there to document changes to Himalayan glaciers.

“David and his team are collectively working with the small number of remaining teams to clean/collect debris, recover equipment and personal effects strewn hundreds of meters across Base Camp by the hurricane force wind air blasts caused by the avalanche,” she said in an email.

Most Everest summits occur between May 10 and 20, so it’s too late to think about trying to go back up the mountain this year before the monsoon season, said Gordon Janow, director of programs at Seattle-based Alpine Ascents International. Their team was airlifted from Camp One to basecamp and are preparing to leave the region, although some may stay behind to help with disaster relief, he said.

As far as climbing on Everest again, he said that’s too far out to think about.

“The next climbing season is a year away and right now we’re more focused on Nepal and taking care of the communities that are there,” he said.

Every year hundreds of people attempt to scale the world’s tallest mountain, with many paying tens

of thousands of dollars to guide companies that attempt to get them to the 29,029-foot summit.

Rainier Mountaineering Inc. guide Dave Hahn described the scene coming off the mountain as orderly but urgent as people were flown down by helicopters.

“Eventually there were four or five birds in the air at any time, flying a dramatic loop from BC to Camp One to BC,” he said in a blog post.

What they saw when they returned was devastating.

“We’d put down at the epicenter of a disaster and we could barely believe our eyes,” he said.

Hahn said their season is done and they’re headed home.

“We’ve come to the inescapable conclusion that Everest summit for 2015 is out of reach for our team,” Hahn said on the team’s blog.

“Besides the rather obvious and glaring philosophical difficulties of pursuing a recreational venture in the midst of a national and local disaster, there are the on-the-ground mountaineering realities that will not permit us to look upward again.

We have no viable route through the Khumbu Icefall and the Earth is still shaking.”

Most climbers at this point in the season would be building a route to Camp 4, rather than Camp 1, he said.

“We’ll put our efforts into an organized and safe retreat from the mountain,” he said.

Yanks beat Rays 4-2 after getting news Tanaka going on DL NEW YORK (AP) — The revelation that ace Masahiro Tanaka will be out at least a month because of a mild forearm strain and right wrist tendinitis overshadowed the New York Yankees’ 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night behind Brian McCann’s two doubles that drove in three runs.

Chase Whitley (1-0) was making a spot start that was meant to give Tanaka and others extra rest.

But the right-hander from Alabama

could find himself in the rotation for a while after giving up six hits and one run in five gritty innings.

He was pitching at the same time general manager Brian Cashman was explaining Tanaka’s injuries.

Brett Gardner had an RBI groundout against Jake Odorizzi (2-2) in the Yankees’ second win over Tampa Bay in this series and 10th in 12 games overall. Chris Martin yielded a twoout single in the ninth before finishing for his first career save.

Tanaka started the season 2-1 with a 3.22 ERA and was superb in his last two starts, alleviating fear about the partially torn ligament in his elbow that forced him out for 2 1/2 months last season. But he appeared to have surprised the team by complaining of pain in the side of the wrist when he arrived Tuesday.

He had MRIs on both the wrist and elbow, and the test on the wrist showed no issues, but it hurt to the touch.

Men’s and women’s tennis seeded for NCAA tournament

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

The Texas Tech women’s and men’s tennis teams learned their placing in their respective NCAA tournament brackets Tuesday afternoon.

For the Lady Raiders, the team hosts the New Mexico State Aggies in the first round of the tournament.

Tech has defeated the Aggies in nine of its 10 matchups, with its last loss coming in 1999.

Senior Kenna Kilgo said the hosting bid gives the Lady Raiders a major advantage heading into the tournament.

“Nobody likes coming to play in Lubbock,” Kilgo said. “Think we have pretty good draw, and I’m really

excited about it.”

At the end of the season, the Aggies captured their first Western Athletics Conference Championship by beating UT-Pan American 4-0.

The Lady Raiders finished their season in a finals appearance in the Big 12 Championship versus the Baylor Bears, but the Bears defeated the Lady Raiders 4-0.

Despite the finals loss, Lady Raiders snagged the last hosting bid as they finished 19-6 overall, ranked No.16, a ranking guaranteeing the team one of the 16 hosting bids.

Coach Todd Petty said Tech’s hosting bid came down to one of its final matches of the season.

“I’m glad we got that win over Oklahoma State in the semifinals,”

Petty said. “It shows you how close the imparity there is in the middle part of the rankings, and it could have gone either way.”

If the Lady Raiders defeat the Aggies, the team faces the winner of matchup between the New Mexico Lobos and the Louisiana State Tigers.

The Lady Raiders face New Mexico State at 5 p.m. May 8 at the McLeod Tennis Center.

On the men’s side, Tech travels to UCLA to face UC-Santa Barbara in the first round of the tournament.

The Gauchos finished their season 15-9 and won the Big West Championship with a 4-3 win over UC-Irvin.

Tech finished its season after losing to the Texas Longhorns in the first

round of the Big 12 Championship.

If the Red Raiders defeat UCSanta Barbara, the team faces the winner of the matchup between Florida Gulf Coast and No.16 UCLA. Coach Tim Siegel said the Red Raiders’ final matches of the season against ranked opponents and Tech’s non-conference schedule helped prepare the team for the NCAA tournament.

“When you’ve played in the last couple of weeks against those teams, then you’re certainly ready for a team like UCLA,” Siegel said. “There’s no doubt the conference has helped us.”

The Red Raiders begin the tournament at 10 a.m. May 8 at the Los Angeles Tennis Center. ➤➤@DGaytanDT

Mayweather-Pacquiao will be good but not biggest fight ever

F

loyd Mayweather Jr. and Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao are set to fight on Saturday in what is one of the most anticipated fights of the decade, but it is definitely not the most important.

While it should be a good fight, this bout between the two superstars likely will fall short of other big fights in boxing’s past.

I will say, however, this is the most lucrative fight in the history of the sport. The purse will be split with 60 percent of the money going to Mayweather, while Pacquiao will earn the other 40 percent. With the numbers all set, Mayweather’s cut will earn him about $119.8 million and Pacquiao will receive an estimate of about $79.6 million, according to ESPN. Before the matchup was announced, the boxing world knew Mayweather would “win” at the end of the bout due to the fact he knows how to successfully come out of the fight with the most money.

Throughout his career, May-

Brandon Soliz weather has been criticized for his outspoken character when it comes to his finances. Mayweather has his “Money Team” and flaunts his cash in every way possible.

Mayweather does mention he was poor as a child and has earned everything he has solely based on his own talents, which I guess gives him the right to flaunt it.

Pacquiao, however, also grew up in poverty in his home country of the Philippines and does not take for granted his earnings. He helps out his friends and family and gives back to others who are not as fortunate.

I am not criticizing or saying Mayweather does not do the same, but I applaud Pacquiao for not boasting about his status.

Although the numbers are obviously higher for this fight,

I believe there have been a couple of fights that deserve to be acknowledged above this one, mostly because of their social importance.

The first bout happened on July 4, 1910, in Reno, Nevada.

The fight was for the heavyweight championship and was between Jack Johnson, a black boxer, and James “Jim” Jeffries, a white boxer and former champion.

Jeffries had been retired for the previous six years and Johnson made his way up to the top within those years. Jeffries did not want to participate, but many people bribed him with a total of $120,000 so they could put an end to blacks being the best in the sport at the time.

A special arena was built in downtown Reno, and more than 20,000 people went to the fight.

Because of the racial issues surrounding the fight, the venue prohibited the sale of alcohol and the possession of firearms.

During the fight, Johnson dominated and Jeffries’ corner threw in the towel in the 15th

and final round so he could avoid a knockout defeat. Johnson would claim his title but was not happy with the aftermath of the fight.

Riots broke out across the country in more than 20 states and 50 cities. Blacks were targeted as the victims by both the white protesters and in some cities the police.

Johnson, however, was criticized because he refused to fight black boxers due to the fact that he could earn more by competing against white boxers.

Soon many blacks labeled Johnson as a traitor to his own people.

Fast forward to the middle and late 1930s and there is yet another racial conflict reflected in boxing.

Joe “The Brown Bomber” Louis, also a black boxer, faced off against the German fighter Max Schmeling, in a fight that occurred twice, with the first meeting happening on June 19, 1936, at Yankee Stadium in New York during a time when America and Nazi Germany began to see tensions rising.

Schmeling would win this

Soliz is a freshman history major from Big Spring.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Kendry Morales’ three-run homer capped a six-run seventh inning and the Kansas City Royals beat the Cleveland Indians 11-5 on Tuesday night.

Kansas City’s big inning came after Cleveland had taken a 5-3 lead on Brandon Moss’ three-run homer in the sixth.

Alcides Escobar’s two-run double off Scott Atchison (0-1) tied the game. Escobar scored the goahead run from second on Mike Moustakas’ infield hit and Morales later hit his third homer of the season to dead center off Bryan Shaw.

Brandon Finnegan (1-0) picked up his first career win despite allowing Moss’ home run.

Alex Gordon homered and drove in two runs for the Royals, who had a season-high 18 hits.

Cleveland manager Terry Francona met with his team for a pep talk following Monday’s defeat, but the Indians lost for the eighth time in 11 games. Cleveland (6-13) has the worst record in the American League and the worst home mark (1-6) in the majors.

meeting by knockout in the 12th round and dedicate his victory to the Fürher, Adolf Hitler and the German community.

Two years later the two would meet again, this time with tensions higher between Nazi Germany and the U.S. This time, however, Louis left Yankee Stadium the victor.

Many Americans were filled with joy that an American defeated the enemy at the time.

The fight happening on Saturday will be good for boxing without a doubt because these two men desperately want to win. Mayweather wants to win, retire and then coin himself “the best ever.”

While the Mayweather and Pacquiao matchup will not be as big as the fights that resolved social factors, Saturday’s bout will answer many long-held questions and I can’t wait to see where boxing goes from there.
