eff Dunham, internationally acclaimed stand-up comedian and ventriloquist, performed in the United Supermarkets Arena on Tuesday as part of his “Perfectly Unbalanced” tour.

Dunham is originally from Dallas and received his first puppet when he was 8 years old, according to his IMDB bio.

“It’s so good to be back home in the state of Texas,” Dunham said.

His first claim to fame was his appearance on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1990.

Since then, Dunham’s “Very Special Christmas Special” was the most watched broadcast in Comedy Central history, his concert film “Spark of Insanity” received the best reviews of any DVD on amazon.com in 2008, and according to the Pollstar website, he was last year’s highest-grossing standup comedian in North America.

“I make a living talking to myself,” Dunham said, “so I guess some forms of mental illness are a good thing.”

He brought to life a multitude of characters including Walter, Achmed the Dead Terrorist,

Bubba J and Peanut, all crafted from his own imagination.

Before bringing out any of his puppets, Dunham opened the show with a stand-up routine focusing on the birth of his two twin boys, Jack and James, and the perspective of a 54-year-old father of newborns.

“Yes I’ve done the math,” Dunham said, “and I will be the ripe age of 75 when they graduate college.”

Starting with Walter the Grumpy Veteran of the Korean and Vietnam War, Dunham tested out a whole new array of political jokes never told before their Lubbock debut. No current candidates were left unscathed by Dunham’s quick wit.

One of his most recognizable characters, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, had the audience in an uproar of endless laughter.

Originally created a year after the 9/11 attacks, Achmed became the sixth most-watched YouTube video of all time with almost 83 million views in just a year and half. Dunham kept the audience involved by taking questions from the crowd for the dummy to answer.

Alert issued for fire in Weymouth Hall

Schwirtlich makes most of senior year

Texas Tech issued a Campus Crime Alert Notification on Tuesday for arson in Weymouth Residence Hall.

According to the email, at 11:17 p.m. Monday, Tech police responded to damaged property on the fourth floor of Weymouth. A community adviser said at 3 p.m. he noticed the door to a student’s room was on fire.

Police determined an unknown person set fire to paper decorations attached to the door, according to the email. No injuries were reported, and the property damage was estimated to be between $25 and $50.

Anyone who may have witnessed the activity or who has information relating to it can contact Tech PD at 806-743-2000, or Crime Line at 806741-1000, according to the alert.

On Tuesday, the NCAA announced the bracket for the 2016 NCAA Tennis Championships.

Among the 64 teams named, the Texas Tech Red Raiders were selected as an at-large team and were named as a host team for the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament.

The Red Raiders, a No. 8 seed in the tournament, will begin their journey by hosting New Mexico State in the first round, while SMU and Washington will also play in Lubbock.

The winner of the two matches will then play in the second round of the tournament.

New Mexico State will enter the first round after winning the Western Athletic Conference championship.

During her junior fall semester at Louisiana Lafayette, senior second baseman Kirsten Schwirtlich kept waking up to the thought of transferring and playing for the Texas Tech softball team.

After one visit to Tech’s campus, Schwirtlich applied for a transfer, and once her transfer request went through, she knew she would have to wait a full year to step onto a field wearing a Tech jersey.

Although her mid-season transfer prevented Schwirtlich from playing her junior season, she said she does not feel bitter over her missed season and instead feels grateful for her junior year in the dugout.

Having to miss one year, Schwirtlich said it made her a more selfless player who focuses less on individual statistics and more on how to bring out the most from her teammates as she gained a grasp of what the team as a whole wanted to accomplish.

“I got to watch my teammates grow, because in season, when you’re physically in season as I am right now, you’re pushing yourself and trying to get better,” Schwirtlich said. “I was so focused on my teammates and what I could do to make them better. It just took away that focus on yourself.”

Prior to transferring to Lafayette for her fall semester, Schwirtlich racked up standout numbers with the Houston Baptist Huskies for two seasons, picked the Southland Conference Freshman of the Year award in her first season and continued picking up awards her sophomore season as she recorded a .411 batting average to earn her All-Southland Conference first team honors.

Through the 2015 season, Schwirtlich played the role of cheerleader to contribute somehow to the team without playing on the field. As one of the appointed energy boosters of the team, Schwirtlich made sure her voice bounced through every field the Red Raiders played on.

LinkedIn recently released a new app created primarily to help college students. The app is called “LinkedIn Students” and was designed to assist college students with job searches after graduation, according to a Fortune article.

LinkedIn wants to help students explore careers, expand their professional networks and search through appropriate job listings, according to the article.

Amy Bafford, associate director of the University Career Center, said it is too early to know if this app could be beneficial to students.

“LinkedIn is great for networking and connecting with professionals,” Bafford said, “but it is too soon to have an opinion formed or know if this can help students.”

The app is currently available on iOS and Android devices, according to USA Today, and was designed with Tinder, a popu-

lar dating app, in mind.

To use the app, a user can sign in with a pre-existing LinkedIn account or enter their name, university, major and graduation date.

The app includes career suggestions based on students’ colleges and majors, followed by companies that recruit specifically from their college and suggestions for jobs alumni from their college have previously done or currently do.

The app presents the information in card-form and gives users the option of “starring” whatever cards and information they were presented with, similar to a “like” or “swipe right” on Tinder, according to Fortune.

In addition to suggestions for careers, the app also features connections to alumni from their university, enabling them to network with people who have the same major, according to USA Today.

LinkedIn is planning to partner with schools

Court rules former Texas coach’s lawsuit can proceed AUSTIN (AP) — A race and gender discrimination lawsuit filed against the University of Texas by former women’s track coach Bev Kearney can proceed, a state appeals court ruled Tuesday.

Kearney resigned under pressure of being fired in January 2013 after school officials confronted her about a relationship with one of her athletes a decade earlier.

Kearney sued, arguing that as a black woman she was held to a tougher standard than a white male coach. Shortly after Ke-

arney resigned, Texas revealed that former assistant football coach Major Applewhite was reprimanded, but not fired, for a relationship with a female student trainer on a 2009 bowl trip.

Applewhite was later promoted and given pay raises. He stayed on the Texas staff until head coach Mack Brown was forced out after the 2013 season.

Applewhite is now the offensive coordinator at the University of Houston.

Te x a s o f f i c i a l s h a d asked the Third Court of Appeals in Austin to dismiss Kearney’s law-

and job boards in order to create more listings and alumni for users, according to Fortune, but has not announced which schools it will partner with.

Autumn Hall, a freshman electrical engineering m a j o r f r o m M c K i n n e y, said she probably would not use the app to find a job in the future.

“I wouldn’t want employers to know I found

them through an app,” Hall said. “In my opinion, that makes it seem like you’re not taking it seriously and trying to put in the least effort possible.”

Hall said she thinks networking outside of social media is important.

Lindsey Morgan, a junior English major from Mesquite, said she currently does not use LinkedIn and is not sure if she

would ever use the app to find a job.

“I don’t have a LinkedIn account right now, so I’m not sure if I would use the app,” Morgan said. “I think it’s kind of unprofessional to find a job through social media and that creates the possibility that the job listing isn’t real because people can fake things on the Internet.” @JessicaGuedeaDT

Ted Cruz ends bid for Republican nomination INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz ended his presidential campaign Tuesday, eliminating the biggest impediment to Donald Trump’s march to the Republican nomination.

The conservative tea party firebrand who cast himself as the only viable alternative to Trump announced his exit

after a stinging defeat in Indiana’s Republican primary.

“It appears that path has been foreclosed,” Cruz told supporters in Indianapolis.

“Together, we left it all on the field of Indiana. We gave it everything we’ve got, but the voters chose another path, and so with a heavy heart but with boundless optimism for

the long-term future of our nation, we are suspending our campaign.”

Cruz had already been mathematically eliminated from clinching the delegate majority in the state-bystate primary process, but hoped to force a contested national convention in July.

That possibility ends Tuesday with the Texas senator’s announcement.

Had he succeeded in his quest, Cruz would have been the first U.S. president of Hispanic descent, although he often downplayed his heritage on the campaign trail, instead, touting the need for tougher immigration laws, for a border wall along the border with Mexico, protecting gun rights, repealing President Barack Obama’s health care law and instituting a flat tax.

Cruz argued he was the only true conservative in the race, building on his reputation in the Senate where he clashed both with Democrats and members of his own party over his ideological stubbornness. Cruz railed against what he called the “Washington cartel,” trying to appeal to an electorate that is craving political outsiders.

But he ultimately couldn’t compete with Trump’s appeal among white, working class voters who were drawn to the billionaire’s outlandish approach to politics.

Cruz’s campaign placed its hopes on a data-driven effort to turn out conservative evangelical Christians who had opted out of recent presidential elections. Increasingly, he would modify his travel schedule to go where data showed there might be pockets of untapped supporters.

With the scale tipping increasingly in Trump’s favor, he announced an extraordinary pact in April with his other rival, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, in which the two would divide their time and resources based on states where they were each poised to do better.

Arrington’s record questionable

I

t has only been recently that I’ve started following the race to fill Randy Neugebauer’s District 19 congressional seat.

Two candidates, Jodey Arrington and Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson, are vying for the position.

As I’ve already written about Robertson in the past, I am going to focus a bit more on Jodey Arrington and hopefully do my best to deflate the wheels of his campaign.

When I first got interested in this, I thought Arrington was a better alternative to both Neugebauer and Robertson. However, through further research I’ve come to the conclusion he also has no right to be in this race.

If I were to make a suggestion I would condone District 19 to not be represented in Washington. Unfortunately that is not possible.

Described as a staunch conservative, Arrington, along with Robertson, sees illegal immigration as one of the Lubbock area’s biggest concerns. Mind you, Lubbock is in the middle of the state, not next to the border, but the Mexicans are still our biggest concern. It still confuses me.

In fact, Mr. fiscal conservative is advocating deploying the military to secure the border. I’m sure that’s not going to be cheap, so his signs should actually read ‘running as a fiscal conservative because those words look good on my signs.’

Arrington also tries to play himself off as a politician who would best be able to revive the works of Ronald Reagan. On his webpage he has advocates projecting the United States’ military power. Translated that means he really wants to send more of other people’s kids to war for the sake of doing nothing.

Once again, this is District 19, as long as the entirety of the district is not on fire and we’re still paying our taxes nobody cares what we do.

I’m thinking Arrington gets his kicks off of just having the name plaque and office, that is the only reason I can think of as to why he is running his campaign.

Again I have to implore Arrington also has an agenda to ensure the use of military power to protect our country. This beautiful, wonderful country seems to not be able to want to keep its hands to itself.

He’ll compromise the life and safety of other people’s families, but you better believe he wouldn’t do any service himself.

Arrington has also been a strong advocate for the deregulation of banks, which is another notch on the list of bad ideas. In fact, as a fiscal conservative you would think he would want to make sure any money circulating around does have an eye on it.

However, that would make too much sense, so we can’t do that.

I also have problems with a man who was helping ad-

vise George W. Bush while he was putting this country through a recession. Knows how to balance a budget? I don’t think so.

Knows how to start nonsense wars? Arrington wins the cake.

One thing that makes me irrationally angry is a wonderful endorsement from Mr. Rick Perry, former governor of Texas and two-time failed presidential candidate.

In Perry’s words, Arrington is the champ for the small man.

“West Texas deserves a conservative leader who fights for our interests above everything else and makes progress on the things that matter to us,” Perry said in an article from The Plainview Herald. “Jodey Arrington is that leader. Let’s all stand with him in this important election.”

First things first, this election is really not that important, so calm down Rick.

The next thing is Arrington has only been integral in promoting big business in Texas — is it really believable that Perry and Arrington actually care about small business?

I have trouble believing men that are able to fund numerous elections and have hung out with the likes of George W. Bush really care about the little guy.

Seems to me like all Arrington would do is promote more oil companies and another three Monsanto’s to Lubbock and the surrounding areas.

I was also watching an Arrington commercial the other day, which almost made me throw the TV out of the window. “(There’s) two checklists that Jodey Arrington will use,” Perry said in an Arrington endorsement video.

“The Bible and the United States Constitution. Quite frankly, you don’t have to know a lot more about the man than that.”

Pardon me for having a thought, but if I go back to that lovely public education I had there was this little clause in the Constitution about separating both the Bible and the U.S. Constitution.

So apparently what we know now is Arrington doesn’t know the Constitution, and on that note neither does Perry.

I’m all around disappointed in the upcoming race, but regardless of the situation the runoff election is on the 24th and we have to vote for somebody.

Just wait though, District 19, once I’m ready I’ll come swoop in and you all can vote for me. @MichaelCantuDT

Obama honors woman as Teacher of the Year WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Tuesday bestowed the National Teacher of the Year honor on a Connecticut woman who has demonstrated through her own life that students can overcome almost any obstacle.

In a White House ceremony, Obama described how high school history teacher Jahana Hayes grew up in a Waterbury housing project and lived in a community full of “poverty and violence, high crime and

low expectations.”

“Being a teacher was the furthest thing from her mind,” Obama said. “In fact, there were times where she didn’t even want to be a student.”

But Obama said Hayes’ teachers saw something in her and challenged her to dream bigger and imagine a better life. They convinced her she was college material.

Obama said Hayes now uses that experience to connect with the students she teaches at John F. Kennedy High School in Waterbury.

Modern day arts, media seem redundant

T

edious familiarity is how Google describes the feeling of “déjà vu.”

It makes sense. The repetition of something enough for its similarity to strike us is essentially what we experience. I think we’re getting used to déjà vu, though. It doesn’t hit us quite as hard because we are exposed to this phenomenon on a daily basis.

See, as media — whether it be music, videos, stories, opinions or ideas — gets easier and easier to share, we are becoming increasingly saturated with the same messages and sounds and inspirations.

Sometimes I’ll read an article and think, “Wow. This sounds exactly like what I saw on Facebook yesterday.” My Instagram feed is drowning in photos with white space ratios and muted color palettes. I can basically predict the end of a movie because we’ve so heavily overused the same story archetypes.

It’s all the same. All of it.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Donald Trump virtually clinched the Republican nomination for president Tuesday night, a stunning victory for the brash billionaire who was considered more a celebrity curiosity than a serious candidate when he entered the race less than a year ago. He soundly defeated Ted Cruz, his last real rival, in the Indiana primary and the Texas senator quickly dropped out.

“Thank you Indiana, we were just projected to be the winner,” said Trump, still highly controversial in his own party but a long shot no more.

Trump still must win about 200 more delegates to clinch the nomination.

But his victory in Indiana — where he picked up at least 45 of the state’s 57 delegates — made it all but impossible for Cruz to block him from doing so.

Cruz told a somber crowd in Indianapolis: I’ve said I would continue on as long as there was a viable path to victory; tonight I’m sorry to say it appears that path has

this idea to me. Being an artist, he realized no matter how original he thinks his art may be, it’s heavily influenced by all the art he’s seen before and undeniably imitative.

That’s not just a reflection on his own work, though.

We are all copycats, but we definitely don’t mean to be.

It’s just impossible to be entirely original with how extensive and accessible our network of information is becoming.

The other day, I was sitting with my editor in the newsroom trying to map out what I would write for next week’s newspapers. We just kept tossing out the same ideas and the same topics with a feigned vigor, slowing fading into a weary attempt at intensity and excitement.

Would we just write about the same things? Would

we take the topics society hands to us and chew them up enough to be swallowed without resistance? Would we just keep reading and reiterating and perpetuating redundancy’s drone?

No. I’m tired of it and he’s tired of it and you’re tired of reading it.

I’m not going to rehash why Trump is obnoxious and Cruz is radical and Hillary is sneaky and Sanders is crazy.

I’m not going to whine about college and degrees and the job market. I’m not going blindly throw suggestions at foreign policy’s dartboard.

I’m not going to write some Odyssey article, telling you why it’s better to be a morning person or describe finals week with 15 sitcom sourced gifs. I’m not.

We ’ v e a l r e a d y b e e n there, done that. We’ve read it before.

So, I want to find what we haven’t talked about enough.

Let’s start discussions about what we might be avoiding in an attempt to maintain political correctness.

Let’s shine a light on issues and ideas that we don’t consider or haven’t even

heard before. Let’s expand our perspective and develop opinions about things we never even knew had two sides to hear.

This might not help us restore originality, but it’s a start. I have to ask myself, though, “When did we lose our originality?” Maybe we never had it in the first place.

But there’s something cool about that.

Because, while we might not be able to entirely generate new ideas, we can at least change the focus and scope of our conversations and culture.

Every word we write, picture we draw, photo we take, song we sing and video we make allows us to shape our collective conscience. We are molding the way the world understands itself when we contribute creatively to it.

And while we may never be the very first ones to say or show what we’re sharing, we are still significantly impacting those around us by changing our culture’s conversations. aaiken@dailytoreador.com

Cruz campaigned aggressively in Indiana, but could not overcome Trump.

The billionaire businessman has stunned the Republican Party with his appeal to voters deeply frustrated with Washington and their own party’s leaders.

Before Tuesday’s results, Cruz had vowed to stay in the race through the final primaries in June, clinging to the possibility that Trump would fall short of the 1,237 delegates he needs and the race would go to a contested convention.

Trump now faces pressure to unite a Republican Party that has been roiled by his candidacy. But whether he can accomplish that remains deeply uncertain.

Even before the Indiana results were finalized, some conservative leaders were planning a Wednesday meeting to assess the viability of launching a third party candidacy to compete with Trump in the fall.

One outside group trying to stop Trump suggested it would shift its attention to helping Republicans in

other races. Rory Cooper, a senior adviser to the Never Trump super PAC, said the group will help protect “Republican incumbents and down-ballot candidates, by distinguishing their values and principles from that of Trump, and protecting them from a wave election.”

Only about half of Indiana’s Republican primary voters said they were excited or even optimistic about any of their remaining candidates becoming president, according to exit polls. Still, most said they probably would support whoever won for the GOP. Clinton, too, needs to win over Sanders’ enthusiastic supporters. The Vermont senator has cultivated a deeply loyal following in particular among young people, a group Democrats count on in the general election.

Sanders has conceded his strategy hinges on persuading superdelegates to back him over the former secretary of state. Superdelegates are Democratic Party insiders who can support the candidate of their choice,

Exit polls showed about 7 in 10 Indiana Democrats said they’d be excited or at least optimistic about either a Clinton or Sanders presidency. Most said they would support either in November.

The exit polls were conducted by Edison Research for The Associated Press and television networks.

A fall showdown between Clinton and Trump would pit one of Democrats’ most experienced political figures against a first-time candidate who is deeply divisive within his own party. Cruz and other Republicans have argued that Trump would be roundly defeated in the general election, denying their party the White House for a third straight term.

Trump has now won seven straight primary contests and has 80 percent of the delegates needed to secure the GOP nomination. With his victory in Indiana, Trump now has at least 1,041 delegates. Cruz has 565 and Ohio Gov. John Kasich has 152.

Tech prepares students to start job search

After graduating college, some students choose to travel, some choose to pursue an even higher education and many go straight into the workforce.

Students on the verge of graduating should begin their job hunt at least nine months before graduation, Jay Killough, director of t h e Te x a s Te c h C a r e e r Center, said.

Students are busy with classes, jobs, extracurricular activities and anything else, he said, so researching for something so far in the future can take a backseat.

“Start researching,” Killough said. “Not just researching the industry and

what’s out there, but oneself.”

Researching means discovering one’s strengths and weaknesses and the things a student can control, he said.

Narrowing down possible career paths can be difficult for some majors, Killough said, so some students may find guidance in the interest inventories offered by the Career Center.

This assessment shows students 10 occupations they may be interested in based on their interests, he said.

“Where do you want to live?” Killough said, “Are you open to the country or the world? Do you have to

stay in Texas; do you have to stay in Lubbock? What are your parameters?”

Start researching.

Not just researching the industry and what’s out there, but oneself.

JAY KILLOUGH CAREER CENTER DIRECTOR

After students look into these careers, he said, the students can combine what they know about where they want to live with what

STACKED

they may want to do into a search for companies that can serve them both career wise and location wise.

Making sure documents such as résumés and cover letters are prepared is a step that can be taken care of at the start of the nine-month process, Killough said.

In addition, he said, students are able to ensure their interview skills are polished.

Killough said students should get as much of the preparation done as they can so when they find free time over the holidays or during a lighter week of workload, the students

can send out their applications faster.

Additionally, some job applications will request letters of recommendation, Killough said, which can take weeks to months to be returned.

“So now you get all of those in, you apply for the job and now it takes a month for the employer to select interviewees, then you get interviewed, it takes months sometimes to apply for these jobs,” he said.

When college graduates are in an interview and want to discuss vacation dates right away, Killough said, it appears to the em-

ployer they may not be all too serious about their job.

If that is not the company culture, that job and that employee may not be a great pair, he said.

Eagerness and excitement, Killough said, are good qualities employees want to see in interviews.

“Sometimes a student just has to go out and experience different types of jobs to know if they like a structured type of environment, if they like a loose environment, if they like a very fast-paced or slowpaced environment, it all depends on the student,” he said. @DTalexarosas

Immigrant detention center granted child-care license

MAKENZIE HARRISON/The Daily Toreador

The S1 floor of the Texas Tech Library has several shelves filled with many different books and records. The library contains more than 1.7 million volumes of books as well as maps, microforms, government documents and periodicals, according to its website.

HOUSTON (AP) — One of the nation’s largest detention centers for families caught crossing the southern U.S. border has received a temporary residential child-care license, amid discussions over whether the federal government will keep using such facilities.

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services granted the sixmonth license last week to the 500-bed facility in Karnes City, southeast of San Antonio, agency spokesman Patrick Crimmins said Tuesday. The private prison firm that runs the facility for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, GEO Group Inc., had requested it after a federal judge said last year that kids couldn’t stay in the centers because they weren’t approved to care for children.

Immigrant advocates criticized the decision to grant the temporary license, citing reports of inadequate medical care and other issues as reasons why such facilities shouldn’t get licenses.

One group, Grassroots Leadership, said Tuesday that it and two mothers detained at Texas facilities with their children had sued in Austin to stop the licensing.

The license approval for the Karnes City facility comes as apprehensions of unaccompanied immigrant

children along the southwest border increased by 78 percent for the period from Oct. 1 through March 31 compared to a year earlier, and the number of apprehensions of families more than doubled.

ICE has indicated in recent months that it’s looking to change how it houses families and children caught along the U.S.-Mexico border, possibly making changes at the Karnes facility. But ICE would not address Tuesday when it might make any changes.

Instead, ICE spokeswoman Jennifer Elzea called the licensing of Karnes “an important step” in improving oversight and transparency of family detention centers.

The Karnes City facility and a 2,400-bed facility in Dilley, also located south of San Antonio, opened in 2014 in response to the arrival of tens of thousands of mothers and children from Central America.

“Anyone who has been to either of these facilities understands that they are prison facilities,” said Bob Libal, executive director of Austin-based Grass-

roots Leadership. “The real question is, does an agency have the right to license a prison as a child-care facility? We think that the answer is no. They would have to go to the Legislature to get that approval.”

Among the changes ICE has telegraphed, the agency has sought potential service providers to run statelicensed residential care facilities for families and children held by the agency, ideally in Arizona, California, New Mexico and/or Texas.

ICE asked for information for facilities that could accommodate up to 1,000 beds “which could be provided at a single location, but would ideally be comprised of several service locations with up to 500 beds at each facility.”

Asked during a congressional hearing in March if her agency would stop using Karnes and Dilley for family detention in fiscal year 2017, ICE director Sarah Saldaña said it probably would convert Karnes into housing for adult males and possibly also children. She said the facility at Dilley “will continue to exist.”

Prison ban on Muslim inmate beards ruled illegal DALLAS (AP) — A federal appeals court panel has upheld a Texas prison inmate’s right to a beard and skullcap as required by his religious beliefs.

Woman found dead in church MIDLOTHIAN (AP) — Investigators say a fitness instructor found dead at a North Texas church had multiple puncture wounds to her head and chest when her body was found.

According to a search warrant affidavit obtained Tuesday by KXAS-TV of Fort Worth and Dallas, the wounds on the body of Terri "Missy" Bevers were "consistent with tools the suspect was carrying throughout the building," as captured on a surveillance video.

The 45-year-old Red Oak woman had driven to the Creekside Church of Christ in Midlothian before dawn April 18 to teach an exercise class.

The surveillance video showed a person clad in a police jacket and helmet and roaming the church before Bevers' arrival.

No arrests have been made.

Ali should be allowed to grow a 4-inch beard and wear a knit skullcap, called a kufi, as his faith demands.

Ali is a Muslim inmate at the state’s Michael Unit in East Texas near Palestine, where he is serving four concurrent 20-year prison sentences for arson, criminal mischief and aggravated robbery.

The opinion written by Appeals Judge Edward Prado said that the Texas ban on inmates having 4-inch beards and religious headwear outside a cell or religious service violates a 2015 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in an Arkansas inmate’s case.

Texas officials had argued that its ban was needed for security purposes, that

beards and caps could facilitate the smuggling of contraband and distort the identities of inmates and potential escapees.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which operates the prison system, is reviewing the ruling, said spokesman Jason Clark.

The department declined further comment.

Josh Abbott Band prepares for Spring Fest

By RYAN ORTEGON Staff Writer

Josh Abbott Band will perform at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Lonestar Amphitheater for the 2016 Spring Fest.

The band will make its stop in Lubbock while on its spring tour to promote its new album “Front Row Seat.” Josh Abbott Band is a country band created

by Josh Abbott and Austin Davis in 2006.

Abbott has been an icon for Lubbock and Texas Tech because Abbott is an alumnus of the university and started his band while in college, according to his website, and he comes back to Lubbock frequently to perform for his fellow Red Raiders.

According to the band’s website, “Front Row Seat” was created and organized to tell a story of Abbott’s failed relationship, but also the new beginnings for him and the band.

Preston Wait, the fiddle player for JAB, joined the band while he was attending West Texas A&M and said he had to balance touring with school.

Wait took some time to answer questions about his history with the band, the inspiration for its new album and his expectations for Spring Fest. Here are some of Wait’s answers: Q: When would you say you first met all of the guys in the band?

A: “I think it was in 2007. Josh called the school and he was looking for a fiddle player to come in and play on an EP, so we played some shows around Amarillo and Lubbock, you know those different towns and different bars and stuff, and we actually recorded ‘Taste’ on that EP and ‘This Year Again’ and

some other songs like that, and it ended up taking off.”

Q: How long have you been with the band for?

A: “I recorded in 2007, and we didn’t actually start touring around as me and Austin and Josh and Eddie (other band members) until 2008.”

Q: Did you ever imagine playing fiddle for a country band when you first started playing?

A: “I was hoping to.

I played with my dad’s family band growing up.

Since I was a kid, I was always kind of hoping I would do this for a living someday and I mean it’s been awesome.”

Q: What is the experience like touring with the band and making music?

A: “I am pretty lucky in this group to be able to work with all of my best friends. Eddie was my best friend in South Plains College, and Austin and Josh, I’ve been great friends with those guys since I met them, and over the years we’ve hired a couple more guys from school, either as crew guys or extra band members, and that’s been awesome. We don’t ever really fight or anything like that. It’s just like everyone gets along, and sometimes it’s dangerous, though, because we like to hang out too late with each other.”

Q: Do you think it was worth the trouble of handling school and traveling with the band?

A: “I think so, and I definitely felt more comfortable being out touring, knowing that if one day I had to stop and had to do something different, I at least know I don’t have to go back and start all over.”

Q: When you guys started playing music, did you ever think you guys would take off the way you did?

A: “At first no, we were doing it because it was fun.

We all hope to, a few of us actually went to music school for that reason to get into something like this, but when we first got going we were just having fun playing around town, and when it started actually paying bills, that’s when we realized there could actually be a future in it.”

Q: What goes into the song and music writing process with you guys?

A: “Josh does pretty much all of the writing and the lyrics wise. There are a few of us that also write too, but the bulk of it is all Josh. He’ll come up to us with an acoustic track of a song and send it out to everybody, and we’ll get together and everybody will kind of start writing their music parts to it, you know the instrumental parts. Then we’ll record a demo of it and see if it sounds like us, and if it kind of passes that test, then we’ll go into an actual studio situation and we’ll cut it for the album if it makes the cut.”

Q: What kind of element do you think the fiddle brings to the band?

A: “I think, especially in Texas, the fiddle is such a big part of the sounds, and not just our band but also that overall Texas sound, and in our ground we use it as an allegiance to go along with the banjo, and that’s something you don’t hear every day.”

Q: Regarding “Front Row Seat,” how much work did you guys put in while you were in the studio?

A: “For that album we wrote a whole bunch of songs, everyone made a list of songs they thought would fit the album really well. We demoed a lot of

them just to see what they would sound like, and once we finally settled on just 15 of them, we realized that it told this really cool story, and that’s when the fun started because then we got to go in there artistically with the instrumentation. It was a blast, definitely the most work we’ve put into any project before, now we have to figure out what we’re going to do next time.”

Q: Why is it called “Front Row Seat?”

A: “There’s a song on there that’s called ‘Front Row Seat,’ and if you listen to the album from front to back it really tells a story of a person’s life going through a relationship, a n d w e t h o u g h t t h a t ’s perfect because you’re basically sitting down at a front row seat watching

someone’s story play out.”

Q: Are you guys excited to be on tour for “Front Row Seat?”

A: “Oh yeah, we basically kind of go year-round kind of on weekends, but with this album really taking off we’re definitely having to do more radio tour stuff on days that we usually would have off.

It’s definitely a lot more work but its worth it, it’s awesome to see how people are taking the album and really enjoying it.”

Q: Are there any other performers going on tour with you guys?

A: “Basically we’ll have certain openers that we really like a lot, like one good example is William Clark Green, he plays at a lot of our shows with us.

Usually we’ll just have a bunch of different groups

like that, that we like to take out with us.”

Q : Yo u g u y s w i l l b e playing here for Spring Fest. What do you guys love about Lubbock and Texas Tech?

A: “You can definitely call it our hometown, and that’s just always good to come back to where you started and the fans there are just great. Every time we have a JAB Fest or play at the Lonestar (Amphitheater), it’s just such a crazy big show.

After the amount of time we’ve been out touring, it’s really nice and we love coming home.”

Spring Fest will also feature Cody Johnson, Hunter Hutchinson and others, and tickets are available at www.roadhousetickets.com.

DUNHAM

worked with the promoter to ensure his return.

“He is very popular with the college and young adult crowd,” Kent said, “because he stays pretty current with his material. We all need to laugh more, and I think most comedians are borderline geniuses.

Jeff definitely fits in that category and I’m a big fan of his.”

According to the Jeff Dunham website, he has been awarded Billboard’s Top Comedy Tour for three years in a row. Guinness World Records also named him as the world record holder for “Most Tickets Sold for a Stand-Up Comedy Tour.”

“Some people wonder if I ever took a break from ventriloquism in high school or college,” Dunham said, “but I never did. I knew it was going to be my profession, my future.”

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 John White, a sophomore electrical engineering major from Carrollton, said he is an avid follower of Dunham’s YouTube videos and was more than satisfied with the show.

“I’ve seen some of the puppets before, but the humor never gets old,” White said. “I think his fans get to know the individual personalities and it makes it that much more funny.”

“Perfectly Unbalanced” has shown enormous success in box office sales, not unlike Dunham’s previous tours.

Meredith Kent, the USA director and assistant vice president for auxiliary services, said she recognized his success with the Lubbock audience when he first performed in September 2009 and

911 calls to Prince ranged from mundane to serious MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Authorities and emergency responders were called to Prince’s suburban Minneapolis home over the last five years for everything from mundane reports of tripped fire alarms to more serious medical calls, a log released Tuesday shows.

Data released by Minnesota authorities provide some new details about more than 40 calls for service involving Prince’s Paisley Park complex.

Also Tuesday, authorities released emails to The Associated Press showing that detectives in Minnesota have asked authorities in Moline, Illinois, for fire and ambulance records related to the emergency landing of a plane carrying

Prince about a week before his death. It was not clear whether Moline officials had fulfilled the request.

The 911 log released Tuesday includes a June 20, 2011, call in which a woman from Germany claimed Prince had told her a year earlier that he had a cocaine habit that he couldn’t control and that he had advised her to report it. According to the log, it appears authorities didn’t respond, telling dispatchers to call the woman back and tell her that her information was a year old and didn’t specify that Prince was in immediate danger. The woman’s identifying information was blacked out of the log and it wasn’t clear whether she actually knew Prince.

Lady Raiders garner tournament host location

By DAVID GAY Staff Writer

The Texas Tech women’s tennis team found out on Tuesday it would be hosting the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament. Starting on May 13, ranked as a 16th seed, Tech will host Virginia Tech, Mississippi State and Boston University in the first round of the tournament at the McLeod Tennis Center.

Tech coach Todd Petty said he is proud of the team making the tournament. After the loss to Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Final, Petty was not sure where they would end up.

Petty said the players hoped the Big 12 final match would not have cost them the bid for the NCAA tournament. The team was still happy with the run it made but wanted to continue into the tournament.

“We knew that we had to make a deep run to have a shot,” Petty said. “Everyone was saying that it was us or Georgia Tech on the bubble of hosting and I guess we edged them out a little bit because of the run late in the season.”

Petty was excited for the team to get to play the first round of the NCAA tournament on its home court, he

said. It’s more special to share this experience with the men’s tennis team, which is also hosting the first round of the NCAA tournament on its home court.

“It’s a special day for Red Raider tennis in general,” Petty said. “Getting the chance to play alongside the men’s team and getting to share that experience with them (is special).”

According to the NCAA website, the tournament matches will be regulation dual matches with three, eight-set doubles matches for one point and then six singles matches played in best of three sets.

Tech is facing Boston University in round one of the NCAA tournament.

Petty said he does not know much about the team.

The other first round match happening at the McLeod Tennis Center will be Mississippi State versus Virginia Tech. Petty and the team got to see Virginia Tech play at the National Indoor Championships in November, he said.

“Virginia Tech was here playing in the national indoors,” Petty said. “We didn’t play against them but they were here so we got to see them a little bit.

They made a good run at the end and put together some wins against some of the top ACC teams.”

EMMA ADAMS/The Daily Toreador

The Texas Tech Lady Raider tennis team poses for a team photo in the Texas Tech Club after the NCAA announced its seed in the NCAA Tournament on Tuesday. Tech will take on Boston University at 5 p.m. on May 13 in the first round at the McLeod Tennis Center.

Mississippi State also had a good year, Petty said. They play in the toughest conference for women’s tennis and have two girls at the top of their lineup that are in the top 30 in the country.

The winners of each first round match will face each other at the McLeod Tennis

Center for the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Petty said it is a tough road ahead, being the 16th seed, but he is feeling fortunate the team is at home and has the opportunity in the tournament.

Petty said he is proud of the growth this team has shown since start-

ing in September. Their maturity helped them through the hard times in the middle of the season.

“We had a lot of success early and then got knocked down a pedestal,” Petty said. “We had to learn from that late in the season to make another run.

They grow up; they fight

so hard and have so much heart. It’s such a pleasure to coach such an amazing group of girls.”

The first round of the NCAA Tournament starts at 2 p.m. on May 13 at the McLeod Tennis Center. The second round will begin at 4 p.m. on May 14. @DavidGayDT

Lady Raiders sign Guirantes as part of 2016 recruiting class

As Big 12 ponders expansion, American on guard for losses

The Texas Tech Lady Raiders basketball team signed Arella Guirantes, a guard from Belport, New York, as a part of their 2016 recruiting class. According to a Tech Athletics news release, Guirantes averaged 33 points, 13 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

Guirantes comes to Tech as No. 44 on the list of the best high school players in the nation. According to the release, Guirantes is the 17th

(AP) — The Big 12 presidents will consider in the coming weeks whether the league should expand, leaving the American Athletic Conference on guard for the possibility of one or more defections. “ We a l w a y s h a v e plans for contingencies that might arise,” Ameri c a n A t h l e t i c C o n f e rence Commissioner Mike Aresco said.

“It’s no secret that there

best wing in the nation.

“Arella (Guirantes) is an elite scorer,” Tech coach Candi Whitaker said in the news release.

“She has the ability to score at all three levels and has great instincts on both ends of the floor.

I love her versatility and passion for the game. We could not be happier to have Arella be part of the Lady Raider family.”

Choosing Tech over Loui-

siana State and Rutgers, Guirantes joins forward Brittany Brewer and guard Grayson Bright in the 2016 signing class for Tech.

Guirantes, Brewer and Bright join the three transfer students who signed as a part of the 2016 class — AllAmerican Recee’ Caldwell from UCLA, Jada Henry from Texas A&M and All-Big 10 performer Larryn Brooks from Indiana. @DavidGayDT

SOFTBALL

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 On Feb. 11, Schwirtlich made her debut for the Red Raiders as a pinch hitter at the top of the seventh with two outs on in Tech’s season opener against UNLV. In spite of an overwhelming feeling and a shaky grip of the bat, Schwirtlich hit a single to right field.

Standing at the plate, Schwirtlich said she worried about what would happen in her first at bat in almost over a year.

“That’s just nervousness,” she said. “The bond that I created with the girls and the coaches, I knew that no matter what, that first swing, there’s going to be many more and I’ve been so blessed to have that many more with them.”

Since her pinch hit appearance, Schwirtlich has picked up 39 starts and 106 at bats while bringing in 29 hits and seven home runs.

Along with her offensive numbers, Schwirtlich has made 73 putouts and 79 assists in her only season as a second baseman.

At the start of during the recruitment process, Schwirtlich listed herself as a pitcher but played outfield and shortstop at Houston Baptist.

A t Te c h , S c h w i r t l i c h trained to fill in as a shortstop, but nearing the start of her senior season, Schwirtlich said coach Adrian Gregory approached her and asked for her to play second base, a switch from her accustomed spot on the left side of the field.

“Coach G made it very clear, will you play wherever we need you,” Schwirtlich said. “I said of course, I just want to help out the team, wherever I’m needed, I will go.”

Schwirtlich’s willingness to take the second baseman role exemplified what Gregory seeks from players, Gregory said. In a senior class composed of the three transfer players, Gregory said this year ’s seniors helped build stage for Tech’s future.

“All three of them came here for a new start and all three of them have really made an impact on the building blocks of what we’re trying to do here,” Gregory said. “They’ve all three have had major playing time in the way that they could, Kirsten in just one year, I think they’re all gritty and just the way we want to play the game.”

On senior day, Schwirtlich and the other two Tech seniors received a brick from the Tech coaching staff,

“Being able to host NCAAs means a great deal to our program,” Masi said. “We have wind and altitude in Lubbock, and our guys are used to playing under those conditions.

Our guys are going to feel comfortable when they step out on the court next Saturday.”

Masi said the Aggies deserve to be in the tournament after winning the WAC Conference.

He also said New Mexico State has been to Lubbock in the past and also play in somewhat the same conditions.

“They’ve been here before so they’ll be used to it,” Masi said. “We’ll talk to some of the coaches around the country and see what we can find out about them.”

The first round of the Lubbock Regional begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday with SMU and Washington beginning first.

SMU finished the regular season with a 20-8 record, which is the 10th time in program history the Mustangs finished with at least 20 wins.

Washington will enter the first round with a 17-9 record, but has lost four of its last five matches.

The two winners of the first round will then face off at 1 p.m. May 15.

The winner of the region will advance to the NCAA Round of 16 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which is set to begin May 20.

According to a Tech Athletics news release, the winner of the Lubbock Regional will play against the winner of the Gainesville, Florida, regional, which includes ninth-seeded Florida, North Florida, South Florida and St. Johns.

According to the New Mexico State website, the Aggies finished the season with a 12-9 record and are on a fivegame win streak.

Meanwhile, the Red Raiders finished the season 27-5 and won a share of the Big 12 Conference regular season title with fourth-seeded TCU. The Red Raiders 27 wins were a program best and the conference title was also a first in Tech men’s tennis history.

Tech will also make its 10th appearance in the NCAA Tournament in the last 12 seasons.

Tech coach Brett Masi said he is happy his team gets to play host for the first two rounds.

Masi, in his first year at Tech, said it is nice for him to stay home since he traveled with his former program, San
