Flooding in Lubbock impacts driving, walking for students, locals

Staff Writer

alking to someone who has been to Lubbock during a rainy season, it is not uncommon to hear about the flooding and crazy winds that make it impossible to stay dry.

It takes little water to start a flood in Lubbock, Charles Aldrich, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Lubbock, said.

Flooding is defined as a lot of rain in a short amount of time.

“Lubbock being such an urban area, it doesn’t take a whole lot of rainfall to create flooding issues,” he said.

Flash flooding, Aldrich said, is considered an emergency.

“For Lubbock generally, anything that’s about three inches of rainfall in an hour or more is what we consider heavy rainfall for the city,” he said. “You can have flooding in Lubbock from one inch of rainfall an hour, it just depends.”

Lubbock’s drainage system con-

sists of the streets and intersections, which were designed to carry water to one of the many playa lakes around Lubbock, he said.

“That’s why when you come to an intersection, and it dips down real good before it comes back up when you’re going through, that’s the drainage right there,” Aldrich said.

There are many playa lakes around Lubbock, he said, but some have development built on top of them which can create even more of a flooding issue.

“On average there’s about one playa lake per square mile across the South Plains,” he said. “You have some development that was built on these playa lakes, and they’re more prone to flooding then other areas.”

To further complicate things, Aldrich said the clay loam of West Texas does not quickly soak up water and leaves the water on the top layer of soil for a longer amount of time then a softer soil would.

and we did an assessment. Blackboard was the product selected during that process.”

John Thomas, managing director of Tech Technology Support, said there has been a 90 to 95 percent adoption rate of Blackboard by all classes.

“So many undergraduate, graduate classes use Blackboard to help manage their course as far as assignment submissions,” Thomas said. “You can really get into Blackboard from anywhere on any device.

One of the other applications that we use is called Blackboard Collaborate. What that allows you to do is have a live online session where the instructor can be speaking and have students call in from really any location.”

In 2013, Hall said Blackboard was moved to a cloud.

“Because you are using a network, there are network considerations you have to consider since you have to stay connected. You need a stable network, and it needs to be fast enough to handle the connection,” Hall said. “Most networks nowadays are.”

For better accessibility, Thomas said the department is adding more to Blackboard.

As the Texas Tech track and field season winds down, the careers of seniors Vincent Crisp and Andrew Hudson are coming to an end.

The pair was honored alonside the rest of the season on Friday, April 26, at the Corky/ Crofoot Shootout Meet.

Tech head coach Wes Kittley said he was proud to honor the duo, along with the rest of the Red Raider seniors, for their contributions to the program.

“I’m excited to honor these 23 seniors,” Kittley said. “We have a nice award to give each of them, and a lot of their parents will be here, so it’ll be a fun night.”

Hudson and Crisp have been running together since they came in as freshmen back in 2015, according to Tech Athletics. In that time, they have helped the men’s seniors to rack up a combined 31 All-American performances this season.

Crisp said he is inspired by Hudson’s collegiate career. “ We ’ r e r o o m m a t e s a n d we’ve been best friends since freshman year, so every time we see each other run fast, it’s always exciting,” Crisp said. “We’re always happy for each other.”

Online, summer classes gaining popularity

By EMMA SIPPLE Staff Writer

In recent years, the number of students taking both on-campus and online classes has grown.

Summer class enrollment online is also growing.

Daniel Epstein, interim director of online and regional site education for the Texas Tech Department of Political Science, said there are about 5,000 to 6,000 students each semester who take online classes, and a couple of thousand students over the summer.

“The summer especially has grown a lot,” he said. “Two or three years ago, we have just about 500 (students) over the summer.”

Scott Hall, managing director of Tech Information Technology Help Central, said Blackboard hosts online classes during the year and over the summer.

“We have had an online learning management program for many years. Blackboard helps students connect and share information, take assignments and tests, collaborate on different assignments and projects,” he said.

Domestic abuse sparks discussions among communities

By HANNAH GILBERT Staff Writer

Domestic abuse is a dark reality that many people from all backgrounds face throughout their lifetime.

Domestic abuse, according to Women’s Protective Services in Lubbock website, has been an issue for a long time and culturally has been found all over the world. Anyone could fall into a cycle of abuse, which consists of tension leading to acts of violence and aggression and later leading to cases resulting in death and tragedy.

Lizet Benitez, counselor for the Crisis Center at Texas Southern University, said although there have been some steps in the right direction, victims of domestic violence can still face challenges. “ Wo m e n s t i l l f i g h t against the stigma of being credible and are often ‘victim-blamed’ and shamed by those who don’t believe her,” she said. “Warping the victim’s perception to make them feel like they could have some fault on their

behalf, so they will not say anything.”

Worldwide movements, such as the #MeToo movement, according to its website, have raised awareness on this issue, making abusive misconduct a more common topic of discussion.

The #MeToo movement was established in 2006 and later became viral in 2017 when actress Alyssa Milano spoke out against her abuser, according to the #MeToo movement website. Her action inspired millions of people to share their own personal stories using the hashtag.

Kelsey Lueck, violence prevention and peer education program manager for Texas Tech Risk Intervention and Safety Education, said she believes the movement’s impact is important. The #MeToo movement has built a strong community that supports each other.

“It connects survivors and creates a platform to talk about it,” she said.

Lueck believes the movement is breaking down the barriers around the

Seattle college says student was among those killed by crane S E AT T L E ( A P ) — A college freshman was among the four people killed when a construction crane fell from a building and crashed onto one of Seattle’s busiest streets, the university said Sunday.

Sarah Wong, who intended to major in nursing, was in a car when the crane fell from a building under construction on Google’s new Seattle campus onto Mercer Street Saturday afternoon, accord-

ing to a statement released

by Seattle Pacific University.

All four had died by the time firefighters had arrived Saturday afternoon, Fire Chief Harold Scoggins said.

Two were ironworkers who had been inside the crane while the other two were inside a car, Fire Department spokesman Lance Garland said.

The names of those who died are expected to be released Monday.

subject of domestic abuse, which can still be considered taboo, she said.

According to the WPS website, domestic abuse remains the most unreported crime globally.Regarding domestic abuse awareness, Benitez said she is supportive of the movement but believes it does not do enough.

“Although the #MeToo movement has made violence against women a hot topic of conversation, victims of domestic violence still find it very difficult to escape their dangerous perpetrators,” Benitez said.

Because of social movements opening the floor to talking about domestic abuse, Lueck said RISE is working to keep the conversation going through assisting, informing and pointing students towards resources that will give them the help they need in situations of abuse.

Marisa Markley, a freshman finance major from Houston, said she relates to this topic through her past experiences, as she was inspired by the movement to walk away from her abusive

relationship.

“I’ve been the giver and receiver of domestic abuse,” she said. “It’s not that we got physical exactly, but we brought out the worst in each other, and it wasn’t healthy.”

Even though there are clues and cues people could miss in domestic abuse situations, Lueck said making domestic abuse an easier topic to discuss will establish a better atmosphere for educating and informing people.

Aw a r e n e s s a n d e d u cation, are some ways peoples could try to resolve the stigma of domestic abuse.

“If your significant other is abusive in any way you should get out of that relationship, because it’s unhealthy,” Markley said.

“Everyone deserves respect, and nobody deserves to get abused.”

For assistance when dealing with domestic abuse, one could call the National Domestic Abuse Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or the RISE Crisis Help Line at 806-742-5555.

jor step forward for us at the university.”

In the future, Thomas said Blackboard Community is planned to be implemented.

“That’s intended to be able to reach different sectors of the student population or the faculty population,” Thomas said. “It’s not quite as robust as Facebook, but it allows for a student who may have several different attributes to receive information from the academic side of campus.”

Regarding online courses, Epstein said he believes classes, such as American and Texas politics, work better because there is less of an expectation that students will use that information for their next semester classes.

“Whereas, I think taking upper division classes in your major online doesn’t always work as well,” he said. “I think the actual face-to-face, in-person class is more useful.”

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “Blackboard Ally is to make sure that content that is put on is accessible to students who may need accommodation,” Thomas said. “A student can log in and go to where the content for the course is. There’s an option to download or view alternative formats for documentation. That’s a major step forward for the university that we just implemented this last spring break.”

Blackboard Ally can be used no matter if a student needs accommodation or not, Thomas said.

“You personally may prefer to see a document in a different format, and your learning style may prefer to listen to an audio of a document as opposed to reading the document,” he said. “These alternate formats are available for everyone. That was a ma-

The students who get the best grades are the ones who are good planners and who work ahead, Epstein said.

“It doesn’t really require such intense engagement with the materials to get good grades in the courses,” he said. “What it requires is fulfilling bureaucratic requirements, which in some ways makes it seem like it is less intellectually challenging. But in the world we live in, meeting bureaucratic requirements is often way more important, like for applying for a job or getting a mortgage or doing well in your job than actual intellectual prowess.”

For those who learn more in online classes, Epstein said they are the same students who learn the best in face-to-face classes.

“They may do fine in terms of grades, but they may not learn very much,” he said regarding students who take certain classes to just get good grades. “I

think in face-to-face classes when they have the attitude of, ‘I am just here for the credential,’ they struggle to master the material and they struggle to get good grades in the class. In the online classes if they do not care, they may not learn much, but they may be able to get a good grade if they keep themselves organized.”

Epstein hopes students in online classes will read their instructions carefully and read the emails their professors send them, he said.

“Hopefully students are learning through those experiences of learning how to read the fine print. You should read what the letters say, you should read the email instructions, not just for our courses but for anything in life,” Epstein said. “Hopefully they will learn those lessons for the digital bureaucratic world we live in.” @EmmaSippleDT

Socialists lead Spanish election despite far-right gains MADRID (AP) — Spain’s governing Socialists held a clear lead but will need support from smaller parties to stay in power after a national election in which a far-right party made strong gains, according to partial results released Sunday.

After having two main political parties for decades, Spain’s political landscape has

fragmented into five parties.

Voters have been disillusioned as the country struggled with a recession, austerity cuts, corruption scandals, the divisive Catalan independence demands and a rise in far-right Spanish nationalism.

30% of the vote Sunday. The far-right nationalist Vox party was poised to enter the lower house of Parliament for the first time with about 10% of the vote.

The tally means the Socialists won 126 seats in the 350-seat Congress of Deputies, while the far-left United We Can party captured 35 seats. That is still 15 seats

short of the 176-seat majority needed to govern.

To remain in office, Sánchez will have to form a governing alliance with smaller parties. He would likely turn to United We Can, but will have to decide whether he wants to make pacts with Catalan and other separatist parties — a move that would anger many Spaniards.

History department takes strides toward diversifying

By MABEL SODEINDE Staff Writer

Increasing diversity at Texas Tech has been a prominent battle for the university. Although Tech was designated a Hispanic Serving Institution in 2017, there is still a focus on diversifying not only the student body, but the faculty and staff as well.

According to the Department of Institutional Research demographic data, as of Fall 2018, Tech has an estimated total of 1,788 faculty and staff members. Of these faculty and staff members, 1,282 identify as white and 506 identify as non-white or people of color.

Due to this lack of diversity, the Department of History at Tech is taking the steps to search for candidates of color as potential additions to its faculty and to include more extensive course offerings.

The history department currently has 31 faculty members: 12 female and 19 male.

Of the 31, there are four persons of color, two of which are Latino Americans and two are Asian Americans.

For Kiara Bess, a senior history major from Rowlett, the lack of black professors in the department was troubling after transferring to Tech from Prairie View A&M University, which is a Historically Black College or University, she said.

“For the fall of 2017 when I first got here, my being the only black person in the room and being one of the few women in the room was quite shocking, because I had never experienced anything like that before,” she said.

What troubles Bess the most is not always the lack of representation in students and faculty, she said. It is some of her classmates who worry her. There have been countless times of being in classes with students proudly donning what she describes as symbols of hate, such as MAGA hats or Confederate flag gear, she said.

However, she has found ways to maneuver around the lack of representation in her classes, she said. By choosing the classes that relate to her interests and experiences as a black woman, it gives her access to some form of diversity in the department.

“I am strategic about what classes I take,” she said. “I try and take classes about people of color… and hope that maybe there will be another person of color there. That gives me a little bit of peace of mind.”

After spending four semesters at Tech, Bess said she has morphed the harsh reality of being the only person of color in her learning spaces at Tech into a lesson for her future plans in the real world.

“Being a lawyer, I know there are not too many black women, black people or people of color who are lawyers, so I know I will be alone, it has honestly made me better,” she said Jordan Butler, a junior honors arts and letters major from Lubbock, said he has taken five history classes to fulfill his history minor requirements. He said the department has some diverse course offerings but also echoed some of Bess’s thoughts about the lack of diversity in the history department.

“I think the course list is pretty diverse, you know I’ve taken courses on early western civilization and the Protestant Reformation, LGBT history and women’s history,” he said. “In terms of the faculty, I think it could be more diverse.”

The history department’s approach to diversifying its course list has positively transformed his prior miseducation and understanding of history, he said. Prior to taking the LGBT history class, he was somewhat knowledgeable about queer history, but it was a version

of history that did not often factor in activists of color. “(Queer history in America) tends to center white gay men. That’s not the case, those aren’t the people who have pushed the queer liberation movement and LGBT rights forward,” he said. “I think after taking that class, I had a greater understanding of the stories we are told and the ones

I applaud the fact that Texas Tech is working to help give us some training and tools that we can use to do a better job of diverse hiring.

ALAN BARENBERG ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR that we aren’t told.”

Emily Skidmore, an associate professor of gender and sexuality within the department, spearheaded efforts to offer the LGBT history course Butler took last semester. She said the response to the class was overwhelmingly positive.

“I had students emailing me and asking when I was going to teach it again and saying things like ‘I’ve waited my whole life for a class like this to be offered, I’m so sad that I can’t make it fit in my

schedule,’” she said.

These positive student responses were a testament to the fact there should be an increase of diversity in the history department, she said.

Skidmore also recalled the changes she has witnessed in the department.

When she first came in as faculty in 2011, men outnumbered women in the department at around a 2:1 ratio, but those statistics have drastically improved since then, she said. Although the department has taken leaps toward gender diversity, there is not as much racial diversity.

“We’ve run job searches every year and most of the candidates we’ve hired in the last seven years have been women,” she said. “So that’s a good thing, but in terms of racial diversity, we are still very much struggling to have a department that reflects the university, which I think should be the goal.”

Alan Barenberg, an associate professor in Russian history and president of the Faculty Senate, praised the department for its efforts to diversify its class offerings which he said spans over a wide array of countries and peoples.

Even when the department offers “traditional” classes like the history of western civilization, it is not taught the way it has been in the past, he said.

“Traditionally, that’s a class that’s just been there to glorify white men and their accomplishments, and that’s not the way I or other people in the department teach it,” he said. “It’s a class about critiquing the notions of western civilization and its civility.”

There is a goal on campus to develop more comprehensive training for search committees all across campus, he said, so that all faculty who run search committees are aware of implicit bias.

He had the opportunity to participate in a training with representatives from Purdue University to model what they do in training faculty on implicit bias.

“One of the weird things about academia is that we hire our own colleagues,” he said. “We are not really trained to think about issues of diversity necessarily. I applaud the fact that Texas Tech is working to help give us some training and tools that we can use to do a better job of diverse hiring.”

Department chair and associate professor Sean Cunningham said he has been involved in efforts to hire more faculty of color since his term as the chairman of the department. The department has made a lot of changes since he first arrived as faculty for the university in 2007.

However, he said the department still has a long way to go when it comes to increasing minority representation.

“To be a faculty member in this department you need a Ph.D.,” he said. “Unfortunately, the academy is not graduating enough African American Ph.D.’s. So even though the job market is saturated with qualified individuals, we don’t always have enough African Ameri-

can candidates, and when we do, we don’t always have the necessary resources to attract them.”

The Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion allocated about $2,000 as an added incentive for diversity hires, he said, yet the competition to acquire professors of color is so steep that universities with more money often have more to offer candidates.

There is a direct correlation between the people you hire and the courses that you offer.

SEAN CUNNINGHAM HISTORY DEPARMENT CHAIR Candidates of color bring diversity to course offerings, he said.

“There is a direct correlation between the people you hire and the courses that you offer,” he said. “We would love to offer more courses that deal with racial and gender diversity, but in order to do that, we have to make the hires and bring in the expertise to teach those.”

Cunningham said the department and university as a whole are committed to diversity for the future generation of incoming history students.

“To say that we are working on it is, I know, a rather unsatisfying answer,” he said. “But I would ask for patience and trust that we really do value diversity, and that we are working with other offices…to create new degree plans and bring new interdisciplinary curriculum offerings that will meet some of these desires for a more diverse experience.” @DailyToreador

making the safest possible choices to reduce risk of danger while we drive?

A report done by drivingtests.org shows speeding is a factor in one-third of all crashes in the past 20 years.

Everyone knows speeding is one way to put yourself in danger, but many people continue to do it every time they drive. It’s so easy to just go five miles over the speed limit and not think anything about it.

This may seem trivial, but

it is in fact one of the many dangers associated with driving. Speeding is a huge risk to take when driving, as it can easily get out of control.

Many people from my hometown get pulled over for going over 100 miles per hour on the highway.

While the drive from Amarillo to Lubbock is only two hours long, and it does only go through farm towns the entire way, there is no reason anyone should drive recklessly. Monitoring your speed is an easy way to keep yourself and other passengers safe.

Another danger that still poses a problem in our society is driving under the influence. Unfortunately,

we are still facing this problem even after knowing 29 people die in a motor vehicle accident every day in the United States from driving under the influence. This epidemic still plagues our country and drivers despite hard facts continue to prove how devastating it can be.

Drivers come up with many excuses as to why they are the only exception, but there is never an excuse to drive under the influence.

The risk can come with significant consequences, such as a hefty $10,000 fine, or in deadly cases, perpetrators can face felony charges. This topic seems so outdated, as we have seen the ways it can impact lives, however,

it continues to be a problem.

Another unfortunate topic we are still dealing with is distracted driving.

Cellphones have impacted the ways we function on a daily basis which can be a good or bad thing. Operating a motor vehicle takes more skill and focus than one may think, and when that focus is not clearly centered, it can mean bad things for those on the road.

The End Distracted Driving campaign reports the risk of a crash or a near-crash increases by 23 times when someone texts while driving. Texting and driving is clearly not a good habit and is obviously a dangerous choice to make. It is important to

utilize features such as “do not disturb” to save ourselves from any potential distractions that could put people at risk.

The choices we make while driving not only put ourselves at risk, but also everyone else on the road.

We must always think about the impact our choices may have on ourselves and others. We must use this knowledge to make sure we are optimizing safety. Driving may be one of the most dangerous activities we participate in on a day to day basis, so while we live life on the edge, we must ensure we are doing so responsibly. @DailyToreador

NRA beset by infighting over whether it has strayed too far The National Rifle Association is used to battling forces that criticize its fiery and unbending efforts to protect gun rights. But as the group gathers for its annual convention this week, the NRA may be facing its toughest foe in decades: its own members.

NRA insiders and longtime observers describe an organization at war with itself over a central question: Has it strayed too far from its original mission of gun safety and outdoor shooting sports and become too political?

It is rare for the NRA to betray any hint of internal turmoil. But it erupted very publicly recently when the NRA sued its longtime public relations firm, Ackerman McQueen, accusing it of refusing to hand over financial records to account for its billings. In 2017 alone, the NRA paid the firm $40 million.

Ackerman McQueen has been by the NRA's side for two decades and has crafted its aggressive messaging, including the "From my cold dead hands" line uttered by actor Charlton Heston in 2000 as he vowed to resist any effort to take away his guns. The line became a rallying cry for gun owners around the country.

Ackerman McQueen also created and operates NRATV, the online channel whose hosts not only aggressively defend the NRA and its cause but often venture into political debates not directly related to firearms, such as immigration or diversity on children's TV. In its lawsuit, the NRA said some of its members have questioned NRATV's weighing in on "topics far afield of the Second Amendment."

The long history between the public relations firm and the NRA has made their potential parting of the ways all the more surprising to longtime watchers of the group.

"The battle in the NRA board that must have occurred with this breakup of a decades-long relationship must have been something," said Adam Winkler, a professor at the University of California Los Angeles School of Law and gun rights expert.

The strife is expected to be a dominant topic of conversation at the convention starting Thursday in Indianapolis, where President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence will address the crowd on Friday.

The NRA's two main political action committees spent $30 million to help Trump

get elected in 2016, and the organization as a whole spent a record $412 million during the presidential year, according to its tax filings.

It has been a bumpy ride for the NRA over the past year.

The massacre at a high school in Parkland, Florida, last year created a groundswell of opposition to the NRA, driven by student-led protests over gun violence.

Corporate America began pushing back, with some major retailers stopping gun sales and banks dropping discounts or certain services for NRA members and gunmakers.

More recently it was disclosed that Russian operatives tried to use contacts in the NRA to influence American elections. Democrats in Congress vowed to launch investigations into the gun lobby.

The NRA does not release detailed membership numbers but has repeatedly said in recent years that it has about 5 million members.

The tax-exempt organization's filings with the IRS for 2016 and 2017, the most recent years available, show combined losses of nearly $64 million. And income from membership dues plunged about $35 million in 2017.

The financial turmoil was seen as a key reason the NRA raised its dues last year for the second consecutive year.

Around the same time, the NRA saw its political influence wane during the 2018 elections and got outspent by gun control groups headed by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. More than a dozen NRA-backed congressional candidates lost in last year's midterms.

The NRA also faces regulatory pressures in New York, where the marketing of its line of insurance for gun owners involved in shootings was scrutinized. That legal action ultimately led the broker and underwriting firm for the insurance to pay millions of dollars in fines and abandon the program.

The NRA's charter was created in New York, and there are concerns that state officials may look for ways to strip it of its nonprofit status.

With the organization struggling financially, even some NRA stalwarts have begun questioning whether the millions spent on public relations and NRATV is worth the money.

One NRATV segment in particular seemed to be the last straw for some members:

It took the children's show "Thomas & Friends" to task for adding some ethnically and gender diverse characters to its lineup of talking locomotives and other vehicles. The segment featured several trains wearing Ku Klux Klan hoods and sitting on flaming tracks.

It's unclear if the divide is so gaping that it will lead to the ouster of NRA leaders during the convention.

None of the more than two dozen board members contacted by The Associated Press would comment, with several saying they do not publicly discuss internal politics. Andrew Arulanandam, the NRA's managing director of public affairs, said recent reports of turmoil or financial troubles have been exaggerated and fueled by anti-gun forces.

Ackerman McQueen declined to comment.

Another question that could be answered at the convention is the fate of the NRA’s president, retired Lt. Col. Oliver North, a central figure in the Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980s. He has a $1 million contract with Ackerman McQueen.

That has raised alarm bells within the NRA about conflicts of interest.

Student business owner produces cosmetics

By HANA KELETA Staff Writer

While many students spend their freshman year adjusting to university life and keeping up with their classes, Whitney Ezenwa does so while also running her own company.

Ezenwa, a freshman nutrition major from Houston, produces false lashes, eye

makeup and hair tools with her company called The Glam Mafia.

“I started off selling my products when I was 16,” she said. “I was looking for an extra way to make cash, and I was really into makeup. I decided to start my own makeup company.”

Whitney Ezenwa,a freshman nutrition major from Houston, prepares products for her cosmetics line, “The Glam Mafia.” She began selling her products at age 16 and has made more than $1,000.

FLOODS

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “When that top layer dries out, it becomes real hard,” he said. “When it becomes real hard and you get a lot of water at once, it can’t really soak up any of that water, and so it just runs off. It’s almost like concrete I guess.”

Aldrich warned Lubbock residents that trying to drive through water, especially moving water, might cause smaller vehicles to stall or intake water, resulting in expensive damage.

“The motto we have at the weather service is ‘turn around, don’t drown,’” he said. “If the water is moving you definitely don’t want to cross. All it takes is one foot of water to move a car.”

Emma Doggett, a freshman marketing major from The Woodlands, said she avoids rain at all costs and stays in her dorm watching Netflix instead.

“If I need to go to class or something I’ll just throw

on my rainboots and my rain parka and just kind of tough it out,” she said. “But if I need to drive somewhere I’ll just wait, because if it’s raining, the streets flood really bad, and there have been times when I’m driving on campus after its rained and I can’t even get the car through the water because it’s so deep.”

Rain boots are essential and saved her many times last fall semester, she said.

“I’ve ruined a ton of shoes like stepping in puddles because I didn’t have my rain boots,” she said. “I’ve had many people tell me before I came to Lubbock, ‘Get you some rain boots and a rain coat,’ because it rains and it floods.”

When the water starts to rise it scares her, she said, especially because she remembers how bad Hurricane Harvey was, and she immediately thinks about precautions she can take against the flooding.

Jordan Springall, a freshman education major from Georgetown, said she

inspired her to start her business, she said.

It is not easy, however.

Ezenwa said the process of producing her items is time consuming and expensive.

“You have to spend money to make money,” she said. “But along the way I’ve learned more about myself when it comes to time management, loyalty and communication.”

Most people purchase Ezenwa’s false lashes and glitters, she said. Those are her top sellers.

“A lot of girls that go to Tech buy false lashes from me, because it’s more convenient instead of going to a beauty supply store or Walmart, because I’m always able to travel to them to bring them the product,” she said.

Ezenwa orders all her products in bulk, so she is able to have her products in stock.

“Ordering from my website takes about a week depending where you live,”

she said. “We take one business day to prepare your product and mail it off or drop it off.”

Ezenwa knows her hard work has paid off, she said.

She has been able to not only make money for herself, but use her platform to encourage others to start a business as well.

“I’ve made more than 1k,” she said. “The secret is believing in yourself regardless of what you do; be your own support system.”

She had some people tell her she would not make it, and even that it would not happen, she said.

“The most challenging part of having a business like mine is having people support you,” she said.

Ezenwa has big plans for her business this summer, she said. She recently changed the name of her company from My Glitter Cosmetics to The Glam Mafia. She wants to be known for other things than just selling glitter eyeshadows.

tries to stay inside be-cause the water is difficult to avoid on campus.

“When I have to go out I really dread it,” she said.

“I forgot my rain boots one time, and that was the worst mistake. I’ve ruined many pairs of shoes, because its muddy everywhere.”

Because of the wind that

comes with rain, there is little true protection against getting soaked, Springall said.

“I just put a rain jacket on and put my hood on and walk as fast as I can,” she said. “Which again when it’s windy, it just blows in your face.”

Allen drafted by Rams, Wesley signs with Ravens

By AUSTIN WATTS Managing Editor

As the NFL Draft came to a finish on Saturday afternoon, two former Texas Tech standouts hoped to hear their names called as one of the 254 selections, with one going in the final round of the draft and the other going undrafted.

Senior linebacker Dakota Allen was one of the final players to hear his named called on Saturday, as the Los Angeles Rams selected him with the 37th pick in the seventh round, number 251st overall. Allen was just four picks away from going undrafted, but now finds himself on a four-year contract with LA. A former star of the Netflix show “Last Chance U,” Allen was a standout as a redshirt freshman at Tech, but issues off the field forced his expulsion from the program. He played the 2016 season at East Mississippi Community College, where he was featured in the second season of “Last Chance U.” After completing a diversion program to drop all charges, Allen returned to Tech in 2017, becoming a two-year starter and team captain in 2017 and 2018.

“Honestly, it was a weird experience, but also a great experience,” Allen said, according to the Rams website. “People do recognize me from the show. They recognize me as sort of the good guy on the show. The whole experience was just amazing, and I’m thankful for it because I was able to continue playing football.”

Over three seasons at Tech, Allen recorded 249 total tackles, 17.5 tackles for a loss, 2.0 sacks, one forced fumble and four interceptions, according to sports-

reference.com. At the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine, Allen showed off his quickness and lateral play-ability, with his 20-yard shuttle time of 4.04 seconds ranking second amongst linebackers.

Originally projected as a late-round pick heading into the draft, Allen saw 250 other players come off the board before him until he finally heard his name called at pick 251. As a member of the Los Angeles Rams, Allen will face his old head coach Kliff Kingsbury twice a season as the Rams play a homeand-home with the Arizona Cardinals each season.

Unlike Allen, junior wide receiver Antoine Wesley waited all three days of the NFL Draft for his name to be called, but to the surprise of many, he went undrafted.

Mock drafts had him as anywhere between a third to seventh round talent, but just hours after the conclusion of the draft, he announced he had signed with the Baltimore Ravens as a priority free agent.

In his three seasons at Tech, Wesley’s best year came in his junior season, exploding for 1,410 yards and nine touchdowns, despite recording just 137 yards and no scores in the two seasons prior, according to sportsreference.com. Lining up exclusively on the left side of the field, Wesley developed a knack for highlight reel catches, breakaway scores and for possessing a 6-foot-4 frame that made him hard to tackle.

Unlike Allen, Wesley had a year of eligibility remaining at Tech but decided to forego his senior season and enter the NFL Draft after the departure of Kingsbury. Now as a member of the Ravens, Wesley will have a fair shot at making the final 53-man

roster, with the Ravens lacking many established wideouts on their roster.

Around the Big 12, other teams saw more success than Tech in the draft, with schools such as Oklahoma and Texas Christian University being well-represented in the earlier rounds. Across the Big 12, a total of 26 players were drafted, with Kansas being the lone school without a draft selection.

Oklahoma led the Big 12 with eight drafted players, including first overall pick Kyler Murray. As a one-year starter and standout quarterback at OU, Murray won the Heisman in his only year as a starter and was selected

by Kingsbury’s Cardinals.

Formerly opponents in the Big 12, Kingsbury heavily recruited Murray coming out of high school and did not pass on a second opportunity to land the gifted quarterback.

Another first round selection for the Sooners was breakout receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, a speedster selected by the Baltimore Ravens. Running back Rodney Anderson, who missed last season due to injury, and kicker Austin Seibert were also drafted.

Oklahoma also had the majority of its offensive line drafted, with four draft selections from the “best offensive line in college football,” as Oklahoma’s line was the recipient of the Joe Moore Award, which is given to the nation’s best line each season. Juniors Cody Ford and Bobby Evans, along with seniors Dru Samia and Ben Powers, all heard their names called in the draft.

West Virginia had the second most selections of the Big 12 with five drafted players. Quarterback Will Grier, tackle Yodny Cajuste,

LEFT: Junior wide receiver Antoine Wesley warms up for the 40-yard dash on Monday, March 25, 2019, in the Sports Performance Center during Tech’s Pro Day. He went undrafted, but was signed by the Baltimore Ravens shortly after the draft ended on Saturday. linebacker David Long, wide receiver Gary Jennings and tight end Trevon Wesco were all drafted in the last five rounds.

TCU had three draft selections, including two top50 picks from the Horned Frogs’ defensive line. Senior defensive end L.J. Collier was selected 29th overall by the Seattle Seahawks, and his counterpart Ben Banogu was drafted 41st overall by

the Indianapolis Colts.

Texas, Kansas State, Iowa State and Oklahoma State all had two players selected each. Texas had cornerback Kris Boyd and defensive end Charles Omenihu selected, Kansas State had tackle Dalton Risner and cornerback Duke Shelley drafted, Iowa State had running back David Montgomery and wide receiver Hakeem Butler taken and Oklahoma State had

both running back Justice Hill and edge rusher Jordan Brailford chosen in the draft.

Finally, Baylor had just one selection, with wide receiver Jalen Hurd taken in the third round. Of all Power Five conferences, the Big 12 finished with the least selections, trailing the SEC (64), Big 10 (40), Pac-12 (33) and ACC (28), according to the NFL.

in the nation, according to Tech Athletics. He currently ranks second in the 200m behind fellow Red Raider Divine Oduduru and sixth in the 60m.

Hudson also ran a personal best in the 200m with a 20.33 at the Big 12 Championships as well as in the 60m with a 6.57. He recently received votes toward the Bowerman mid-indoor watch list.

Most recently, Hudson ran a personal best of 10.13 in the 100m, putting himself fifth in the Tech record books and sixth in the nation this year, according to Tech Athletics.

He later went on to run an outdoor personal record of 20.41 in the 200m, which is the seventh-fastest time in Tech history.

Crisp said the thing he will miss the most about being with his teammates is traveling.

“We really have a great bond together running, but we also do on the buses and at the meets,” Crisp said.

“We play Uno and all types of board games. We had a special bond, and I think that we’ll be family even after this. I’m going to miss that the most.”

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 During his senior season, Crisp helped Tech in the 4x400 at the Red Raider Open meet and was able to finish with a 3:04.93 for the second-fastest time in program history, according to Tech Athletics. He also qualified for nationals with a 1:47.28 in the 800m at the Texas Tech Classic.

Hudson has been a big part of helping the men’s sprint group hold the top ranking

Irving, Horford lead Celtics past Bucks, 112-90 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Kyrie Irving had 26 points and 11 assists, Al Horford added 20 points and 11 rebounds, and the Boston Celtics cruised past the Milwaukee Bucks 112-90 on Sunday in the opener of their secondround playoff series.

Jaylen Brown chipped in with 19 points and Gordon Hayward had 13 off the bench for the Celtics. Boston controlled the game for long stretches and played stingy defense against MVP candidate Giannis Antetokoumpo, who scored 22 points but shot just 7 for 21. Antetokounmpo didn't make his first field goal until the first minute of the second quarter.

Game 2 is Tuesday in Milwaukee.

Khris Middleton had 16 for Milwaukee, which completed a four-game sweep of the Detroit Pistons on Monday and advanced to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2001.

The Celtics came off a sweep of their own against Indiana.

The Celtics knocked Milwaukee out of the playoffs in seven games last year, winning the final game at home.
