The Student Government Association, Tech College Republicans and Tech Student Democrats hosted a debate Monday evening,

featuring District 19 congressional candidates Jodey Arrington and Glen Robertson.

The debate was moderated by radio talk show host Chad Hasty and began with opening statements. Arrington spoke first and mentioned his reasons for running for Congress.

“Thank all of you guys for being here,” Arrington said, “especially Texas Tech students. I’m running for Congress because I love West Texas, I’m concerned about the future of our country and I know I can make a difference. I’m honored to have the support. If you think our country is

No. 5 Red Raiders look to tame Wildcats Campus blood drive breaks on road against Abilene in midweek game Tech record with donations

Staff Writer

After entering the top 5 in the national rankings for the first time this season, the No. 5 Texas Tech baseball team will attempt to solidify its ranking against Abilene Christian at 6:30 p.m. today in Abilene.

Entering the midweek game, the Red Raiders have the momentum of completing their fourth sweep of a Big 12 Conference opponent over the weekend. After the sweep against Kansas, they have a commanding lead on the rest of the conference with a 37-13 overall record and 17-4 record in Big 12 games.

Oklahoma State is in second place in the conference with a 12-6 Big 12 record.

“In the back of our minds, (Oklahoma State) will keep us focused, but once you start worrying about stuff on the outside that you can’t control, it’s bad news,” senior outfielder Tyler Neslony said. “I think we just got to play one game at a time.”

Neslony was one of four Red Raiders to hit .385 or better during the three-game series against Kansas this past weekend.

Tech smacked four home runs over the weekend and now has three of the top six home run hitters in the conference. Neslony and junior outfielder Stephen Smith are tied for fifth with nine home runs while senior first baseman Eric Gutierrez leads the Big 12 with 11, according to the conference website.

Results are in for the 2016 spring blood drive, and students donated more blood this spring than in any previous year since 2012.

The Battle of the Halls blood drive is a campus-wide residence halls competition hosted by the Residence Halls Association, and it partnered with the United Blood Services to see which complex could get the largest percentage of its residents to donate blood.

“I think anytime we have the opportunity to help the community in any amount we’re happy and satisfied with the end results,” Craig Kuehnert, assistant director

for Student Leadership Development for RHA, said. “We were hoping to get at least 400 units of blood and we surpassed that goal this semester, so we’re certainly very happy with the number of people that came out and donated blood.”

Students were encouraged to sign up to donate blood with incentives from RHA. Some of those incentives for individual donors were free T-shirts, free food and several prizes from local businesses from a prize wheel, Kuehnert said. The residence hall with the most donations got its name on a plaque, which was placed in the RHA office.

Michael Davis prepares to catch the ball for a warm up during the Red Raiders’ baseball game against San Diego State on April 17 at Rip Griffin Park. Texas Tech faces Abilene Christian at 6:30 p.m. today in Abilene in its first game this season as a top-five team.

The Red Raiders offense leads the Big 12 in home runs as well as hits, on-base percentage, runs, doubles, triples and RBI. The offense has reached the top of the conference by getting production from the entire lineup, Gutierrez said. “(Opponents) know we are going to hit. They know we are going to score,” he said. “They better bring their best.”

The last time Tech played against Abilene Christian, the Red Raiders won on a 5-4 walkoff single.

In fact, Tech has won three of the last four meetings between the two teams by one run.

The Wildcats have struggled this season with a 14-30 overall record and have gone 1-5 since playing the Red Raiders earlier this season.

While the Red Raider offense has found success with home runs, the Wildcat pitchers have allowed the third-most homers in the Southland Conference, according to the league website.

Tech offers preparation for jobs abroad

By ALEXA ROSAS Staff Writer

Studying abroad is a term often heard on the Texas Tech campus, but students are still able to take their education and skill sets overseas with an internship or job.

Students looking for jobs abroad are not often seen in the Career Center, Jay Killough, managing director of the University Career Center at Tech, said. This

is because of various differences in policy as well as differences in the process students have to go through to be qualified to simply work overseas.

“There are students who do though,” Killough said.

“Typically, what I see the most of — and this is just in my opinion — is English as a second language, which is going and teaching in a school somewhere in a different country.”

Today, the majority of students with internships

abroad, Elizabeth McDaniel, senior director of International Education and Enrollment Management at Tech said, are engineering students as well as some business students.

Preparing these stu dents for internships overseas is different from preparing students to study abroad, McDaniel said, as they are not going to be enrolled in classes, but are going to be working.

“We have third party organizations that we work with

to provide internships and then sometimes students find their own,” she said.

The ICC holds an orientation for students who will be working abroad, McDaniel said, whether they utilized a third party or found an internship on their own.

“We do have orientation for everyone from a safety and security standpoint as well as from a cultural standpoint,” McDaniel said.

During the orientation, the focus of the discussion is mainly information on health

Tech’s online masters in nursing Student receives award degree ranked as most affordable from Spanish honor society The online master’s in nursing education program at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center was recently chosen as No. 14 for the most affordable degrees in 2016 by bestdegreeprograms.org Tech was chosen from a list of 74 institutions that offer nursing education degrees online, according to a news release, which was measured by its tuition fees and rates that were published by the National Center for

Education Statistics.

Graduates tuition and fees for the program at Tech’s HSC were estimated to be $8,130 for 2016, according to bestdegreeprograms.org, and students are able to take specialty courses such as leadership in nursing, comprehensive clinical care and a practicum.

Tech’s online masters in nursing education degree was ranked no. 36 in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, according to the best degree programs website,

and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing expects a shortage of nursing school faculty in the future.

According to the best degree programs website, salary.com reported that the average salary of a nursing educator is about $84,150 per year.

The online graduate nursing education program can be completed by students in 42 semester credit hours, according to the TTUHSC website.

DEBATE

minimum wage increases.

Arrington and Robertson were asked if the federal government should have a role in addressing the rising cost of college tuition.

Student debt is an issue, Arrington said, and the government should have a role in the rising cost.

“We have $1.2 trillion in student debt,” Arrington said. “Seven million students over the last year have not paid on their student loans. We need to focus it, reform it and tighten the standards of work and performance of students and accountability for universities to support those students.

We need to get the federal government out.”

Robertson said he had problems with Arrington’s answer, and described the increase in cost of tuition.

“The real problem is not access to funds,” Robertson said, “the problem is the cost of tuition. Texas Tech University from 2007-2014, enrollment cost rose by over 51 percent. We need to bring that spending in and get the federal government out of the business and get this back to the states where it

belongs and let state-funded universities compete on a level playing field. We’ve got to insure that Pell grants and those kind of opportunities are still available.”

The next question was concerning Bernie Sanders’ free college tuition plan and asked what the candidates have to say to the millennials and college students who embrace the idea and are looking at the free college tuition idea as a good idea.

Free college tuition is possible, Robertson said, but would require work prior to receiving it.

“There is such a thing as free college and it’s called the GI Bill,” Robertson said. “Go serve your country and then I think we owe you. I think the message that we need to be sending is to get away from this entitlement system.

We need to emphasize young men and women to better themselves and to be selfreliant. We need to continue to support the GI Bill.”

Arrington said nothing is free and the support of the idea is an entitlement issue.

“There’s no such thing as free education,” Arrington said. “Somebody is paying

“I want to thank SGA for holding this event,” Robertson said, “especially the Tech students that are here during finals week. I appreciate y’all having enough interest in your future and being here. I’ve got four children and seven grandchildren and those seven grandchildren are the reason I’m running for Congress. I want my grandchildren to have the same great opportunities that I had as a young man growing up.”

The candidates were asked multiple questions and a few were related to Tech students specifically.

The questions covered topics including costs of higher education, free college tuition, what the candidate would do in D.C. to help Tech and support of

Gayle Jeffers, president of the Texas Tech chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, received the prestigious Gabriela Mistral Award.

She received the award for her academic achievements, leadership and initiative within the Alpha Phi chapter, according to a Sigma Delta Pi news release.

Sigma Delta Pi is the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society, according to the release.

To become a member of the honor society, students must study Spanish for three years at the college level, at

The next question asked what each candidate, if elected, would do in D.C. to help Tech.

“As former Vice Chancellor,” Arrington said, “I’m proud to serve my alma mater. I love Texas Tech and Texas Tech has seen unprecedented growth.”

If he were in D.C., Robertson said, he would work to get the federal government out and allow the state-run school to run it without interference.

“The most important thing to help is to get the federal government out of the business,” Robertson said. “Texas Tech is a statefunded university. Being a state-funded university, the federal government has no right interfering and laying down rules and regulations that Tech must comply with.”

The final question related to students asked if the can-

didates supported the idea of minimum wage increases.

Arrington said the increase would be a mistake and would hurt more than it would help.

“This will hurt our small businesses,” Arrington said.

“You will hurt the workers.

Obamacare hurt the people it was trying to help and this will add more costs.”

Robertson agreed it would be detrimental and said minimum wage is meant for younger citizens.

“Raising the requirement of minimum wage will hurt those very people that it is intended to help,” Robertson said. “That’s the problem with the government, there’s always unintended consequences for every decision you make.

Minimum wage is designed for high school students entering the workforce.”

Both candidates ended the debate by thanking those attending and encouraging everyone to vote.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Anxiety over Donald Trump spread among congressional Republicans Monday, pushing several to follow House Speaker Paul Ryan’s lead and withhold their support from the divisive billionaire.

Ryan himself declared there’s no point in trying to “fake” party unity.

“If we go forward pretending that we’re unified, then we are going to be at half-strength this fall,” Ryan told The Journal Times in Racine, Wisconsin, defending his stunning decision last week to refuse to endorse his party’s presumptive presidential nominee.

Still, in interviews with home-state reporters Monday, Ryan denounced the idea of any Republican launching a third-party or independent candidacy to challenge Trump, telling the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel it “would be a disaster for our party.”

And Ryan said he’d step

aside from the House speaker’s traditional role as chairman of the Republican National Convention if Trump wants him to, a scenario that Trump left open over the weekend, underscoring the depths of strife now afflicting a GOP divided against itself.

“He’s the nominee. I’ll do whatever he wants in respect to the convention,” Ryan said, striking a conciliatory note.

Trump himself shrugged off the need for unity heading into the November general election and a likely matchup against Democrat Hillary Clinton, even though that would be the goal in any normal election year after a candidate effectively clinches the nomination, as Trump did last week.

“I think this is a time for unity. And if there’s not going to be unity, I think that’s OK, too,” Trump said on Fox Business Network. “I mean, I’ll go out and I think I’ll do very well. I think I’m going to win

the race either way.”

The comments from Ryan and Trump came as both men prepared for a face-to-face meeting Thursday, which Republican leaders hope will begin to mend the fabric of their party. Trump will also meet Thursday with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Senate GOP leaders.

Still, ahead of the meeting, Ryan’s negative stance appeared to be providing cover for some vulnerable Republicans who are anxious to distance themselves from Trump and his controversial comments about women, Latinos, prisoners of war and others.

Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey, one of the most endangered Senate Republicans, wrote an opinion piece in the Philadelphia Inquirer drawing back from his longstated intent to back the GOP nominee.

“His vulgarity, particularly toward women, is appalling. His lack of appreciation for constitutional limits on executive powers is deeply concerning. ... In short, I find his candidacy highly problematic,” Toomey wrote of Trump.

“There could come a point at which the differences are so great as to be irreconcilable.”

Toomey appeared to be the only Senate Republican running for re-election to publicly step back from plans

to vote for Trump. However, other backing has come with little enthusiasm as senators have announced in the same breath plans to skip the July convention in Cleveland.

Party leaders fear Trump’s candidacy could cost Republicans control of the Senate.

Even in the House, where Republicans command the largest majority in decades and are unlikely to lose control, vulnerable members are visibly nervous.

Several newly elected lawmakers who could face difficulty in November, including Martha McSally of Arizona, Will Hurd of Texas and Barbara Comstock of Virginia, have told local publications they are not ready to back Trump.

Another Republican in a closely divided district, Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, said in an interview that he and others were finding it difficult to support Trump given his history of incendiary comments and his own uncertain record as a Republican, including donations to many Democrats, Clinton among them.

“When you’re a candidate running for office you don’t like to be in a position where you have to put distance between yourself and someone in your own party,” Dent said. “But in this case you’re compelled to do it because of the nature of these inflammatory statements.”

Working for The DT has been life-changing H ow do I even begin to describe what it’s been like to work for The Daily Toreador?

I was told as a journalist, you are only allowed to start a piece of writing with a question once in your career. For all intents and purposes, my formal career as a journalist ends with this column, so I decided now is as good a time as any to use my one question.

For all the readers who are not journalists, the reason we do not use questions in our writing is because it is the job of journalists to answer the readers’ questions, not to ask more of them. In my two and a half years on The Daily Toreador staff, I was trained how to be a journalist and was entrusted to get reliable news out to the Texas Tech community and, in many cases, to people of the U.S. I am one of the few members of The DT staff who are not in the College of Media and Communication. Any major can apply to work for the publication, which adds diversity, and one of the best reporters I have met is actually a computer science major.

During my first semester at Tech, I was focused on doing well in my classes and trying to meet new people. I grew up in New Mexico, and I knew absolutely no one in Lubbock.

For the first time in a very long time, I was without any friends, and I joined student organizations to make some.

Thankfully, the Tech community is very welcoming and I had no trouble fitting in.

After my first semester of getting settled in, I realized I genuinely missed writing. My dad is amazing at writing, and one of the many things I inherited from him was his love of writing. In my college classes, the only writing I got to do was writing summaries of scientific articles. To me, this writing was mindless and didn’t ing manage the drives and received the same incentives as the donors.

All of the blood collected through the blood drive goes to the United Blood Service’s local processing center, Kuehnert said, where it is then distributed to the local and area-wide hospitals.

“There are lots of people that need blood for a variety of reasons. I think people assume like a car accident victim would need blood, which in many cases they do, but there are also many people with other illnesses that need transfusions at various points of their lives,” Kuehnert said.

“Having a supply of blood allows everyday medical procedures to happen if they need to.”

Our lives are made up of events that influence the people we become. They help us develop personally and, in a way, direct the courses of our lives.

Applying to be a features reporter was one of those moments for me. While I don’t ever foresee myself pursuing a career as a journalist, working at The DT has influenced my college years more than any other experience and has given me so many invaluable skills.

I am a naturally quiet person, and it takes a while for me to open up to people.

I’m not the type of person to have the confidence to go up to a random person and start a conversation with them. As a reporter, this confidence was something I had to develop. I covered many events and wrote many profiles about people, and I had to be able to walk up to them, introduce myself and convince them to talk to me. Although I was still nervous about talking to strangers, I am so grateful I was able to tell the stories of countless people at Tech.

RHA is constantly looking at ways to increase the number of students who participate in the blood drives, Kuehnert said. The goal is to eventually get 10 percent of residents in each complex to donate blood.

Rodin sculpture among Sotheby art sale pieces NEW YORK (AP) — A rare marble sculpture by Auguste Rodin and three French paintings never before at auction are among the highlights of Sotheby’s sale of impressionist and modern art.

Paul Signac’s “The Port Houses, Saint-Trope” could bring $8 million to $12 million and is among 62 works being offered at the evening sale Monday.

An important example of the pointillist style, the bright painting depicts the French coastal town

of Saint-Tropez in 1882. It was the first time the neoimpressionist artist had visited the town, a place he returned to often.

The Saint-Tropez painting has been in the same family for nearly 60 years, purchased in 1958 by the parents of John Langeloth Loeb Jr., the former U.S. ambassador to Denmark.

The auction record for a Signac work is $14 million, achieved in 2007.

Sotheby’s also is offering two major works created during the short-lived

Fauve period. Andre Derain’s 1906 view of the River Thames, “Red Sails,” is estimated to sell at between $15 million and $20 million.

Maurice de Vlaminck’s 1905 landscape near Paris, “Underbrush,” has a $12 million to $18 million estimate.

Fauvism was characterized by its use of saturated colors and simplified forms as a way to express the artist’s emotions. It lasted a short three years, and only four major Fauve paintings have come to auction since 2010.

Michelle Obama helps kick off Invictus Games ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Britain’s Prince Harry and first lady Michelle Obama helped kick off the Invictus Games for wounded veterans with uplifting speeches Sunday night, joining other figures from the worlds of sports, entertainment and politics in a glittery opening ceremony.

The two-hour event in Orlando, Florida, included performances by British singer James Blunt and soprano Laura Wright. Actor Morgan Freeman and former president George W. Bush — honorary chairman of this year’s games — sat in the audience for the ceremonial start of the games at Disney’s ESPN

Wi d e Wo r l d o f S p o r t s Champion Stadium.

Nearly 500 athletes from 14 different countries are competing in the Paralympic-style sports competition over a four-day period beginning Monday.

The Invictus Games are the creation of Prince Harry, who got the inspiration to help wounded and sick military personnel and their families after his two tours of duty in Afghanistan. The initial Invictus Games were held last year in London.

“I can’t tell you how proud I am to have the second Invictus Games open in America,” Prince Harry said. “I’m a long way

from London tonight, but when I look out, I see so many familiar faces, servicemen and women, their friends and their families and all of the people who got them here. I feel like I’m at home.”

The evening began with participants dressed in their nation’s colors marching into Champion Stadium to a standing ovation from the crowd. There were several musical performances and then three veterans spoke about the injuries they suffered and their fight to regain control of their lives.

“I served along soldiers from all over the world,” Prince Harry said.

for three semesters as a features reporter before applying to be La Vida editor. Part of this was because I loved the flexible work schedule of a reporter, and part of it was because I wasn’t sure I was ready to manage a staff of reporters.

The people who some readers know only as names on bylines are some of the best people I have ever met.

Being an editor has different stresses than being a reporter; the publication is entirely student-run, so the editors are responsible for planning daily content, managing a staff of writers, designing the paper every day and countless other tasks.

During the two semesters I have been an editor, I have spent more time in the newsroom than any other place. Some nights, we have to wait until midnight for a story or write multiple stories ourselves to make sure there is content in the paper. On top of all these responsibilities, we are still students

who have classes to go to and tests to study for.

Despite all the stress that comes with the job of an editor, I have some of my best memories with the other editors. We are much more than just coworkers — we play intramural softball, compete in fantasy sports, get food together and do so many other activities as a group. The editors are diverse in their backgrounds and opinions, and they are people who I would not have met if I didn’t work for The DT. It makes me so sad to think about the fact that I will no longer be on The DT staff. I will miss the staff members the most, and it will be weird not to see them on a daily basis. The people who some readers know only as names on bylines are some of the best people I have ever met. They are hardworking, ethical, funny, caring, supportive and so many other good things, and I am a better person for knowing them.

These people will always be family to me, and I will always remember the random moments we shared together as young adults. I know I’ll be telling my kids the stories of how I rode in the back of The DT van (which has no seats whatsoever), getting

my nails done with the Hannah Hipp, Kristen Barton and Emma Adams, talking about everything from serious politics to somewhat inappropriate topics, spending Valentine’s Day covering an event, listening to Diego Gaytan argue about everything, reading some of the best profiles from Jeremy Krakosky and Michael Cantu, helping Jarrod Miller understand sports and so many others. The guidance I have received from Amy Cunningham and Andrew Gleinser has helped me develop professionally, and I’ll always be grateful for that. These young people all have bright futures ahead of them, and I can’t wait to see what all they will accomplish.

I am honored to have worked for The DT and to have been entrusted to relay information to others.

Soon I will be able to call myself an alumna of Texas Tech, and I am so grateful for that title. Tech has so much pride, and I love it with all my heart. While I’m sad my journey here is ending, I know that the future of The DT and the campus is safe in the hands of the students, faculty and staff who represent it. @JenRomeroDT

Audiosocket, a music licensing company based in

Seattle and New Orleans, filed the lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in Seattle against Cruz for President and the advertising firm Madison McQueen. It says an agreement between

Audiosocket and Madison McQueen expressly barred the use of the songs for political purposes.

The lawsuit seeks hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.

Daily Toreador experience worth noting

I

n October of 2013, I left The Daily Toreador newsroom after an hour long interview realizing that I actually was never even asked any questions, but that Mike DuPont II and I had only talked about sports.

I figured The DT would never hire a business major who had never written a news story or answered any questions in his interview.

The next week, I got a call, and before I knew it, I was interviewing Texas Tech women’s basketball coach Candi Whitaker.

The DT took a chance on me, and two and a half years later I still haven’t gotten fired, and now I’m writing my farewell column.

This job has without a doubt been the most rewarding job I’ve ever had. While I was never the best writer at The DT — in fact, I’m more known for making people cry

Some of the coolest parts Jeremy Krakosky of my job are the few times is a senior I was able to give voice to marketing and people who would not normanagement mally be heard or, obviously, dual major from getting to cover football Red Oak. for two seasons. I can still clearly remember my “mom I during interviews or cover- made it” moment when I got ing historically terrible sea- to interview Kliff Kingsbury sons — I have learned more for the first time, and my than I could have imagined mom was proud.

Anyone who question, “What did you do knows me knows how hard it at this sports reporter job?” is for me to keep my mouth My simple answer during shut during Red Raider interviews is that I got paid games. I had to remove to watch sports. Working at myself from the press box The DT is much more than during my senior year so I just watching sports and could yell during the games.

In the end, the constant writing, but it was a dream press conferences, interjob for me.

After having such a views with coaches, players unique but great job for the and writing stories didn’t last couple years, I feel more even feel like work. My time prepared and confident as I at The DT has flown by and

I’m going to miss it.

I’m also going to miss The DT because of the people.

They have definitely been the best part about working at The DT. I can’t list out everyone who has become a good friend because there are too many. Some of my sports reporter or sports editor coworkers like Everett Corder, Diego Gaytan, Brandon Soliz and, yes, even David Gay, have been some of the most hardworking and talented people I have seen during my time in college. I know the three of them who are still at The DT are going to continue to make the publication better.

I can’t thank The DT enough for taking a chance on me over the last two and half years. Now, go out there and make your interviewees cry. @JeremyK_DT

Most artistry has meaning, needs analyzation

I

n some instances, different forms of media, whether it be movies or different artists, might have nonsensical messages on first viewing. But, if you analyze the media over multiple viewings, the director’s or artist’s vision starts to emerge.

What someone may interpret as a nonsensical message means something to the creator of the project. It is important for the consumer to understand and appreciate the message that the creator intended.

In Monday’s column in The Daily Toreador entitled “Artistry in media can lead to nonsensical messages,” the writer talked about the recent trend in media of appealing to people with strange and nonsensical messages in media. What is disregarded is that every piece of media has some sort of message. Even if that message is not always evident in the first viewing, the creator of that product always has a reason why the created it.

I n t h e c o l u m n , We s A n d e r s o n ’s “ M o o n r i s e Kingdom” is brought up as an example of a film the writer watched where they enjoyed the fact that it was artsy but it was still nonsense. The writer talked about how this “rather confusing and melancholy

movie” was nonsensical.

First, Anderson’s style incorporates quirkiness and humor to even the most melancholy human experiences. He finds the humor in the darkest of human situations. Since he writes or co-writes most of his films, he has developed a sense of style and theme for all his films and it may not appeal to everyone. Some people may be confused with the overall theme after one viewing but, after multiple viewings, they can develop a sense of the overall theme.

This is the same with most of Anderson’s films.

It takes multiple viewings to really understand what message he was trying to convey. If a viewer says a movie is nonsensical after one viewing, they are not appreciating that film the way it is supposed to be.

Later in the column, the writer makes the same argument about different artists, saying some of the songs people enjoy are because of the “soft strumming” and the “twinkly

acoustics.” The writer goes on to say “the lyrics don’t make sense and, if I’m honest, I can’t even make out the words, but it’s OK because it’s artsy.”

What the writer is saying there is certain people enjoy certain artists, like Alt-J and Sufjan Stevens, as are mentioned in the column, because of the upbeat and soft guitar centered sound.

But, that is only at the surface. If you analyze their songs, there underlies a much deeper meaning.

The majority of Stevens’ music touches on personal experience he went through. His most recent album, “Carrie & Lowell,” touches on the personal relationship with his mother and the difficult childhood he went through. While some of the songs on that album are upbeat with a mostly acoustic background, the underlying message of each song is a darker and more depressing tone then what is on the outside.

In other albums, Stevens touches on his religious background and how important his religion is to his life. If the listener really interprets t h e l y r i c s a n d u n d e rstands the situation he went through, they would

understand why he wrote the lyrics and would not just listen to the acoustic and somewhat upbeat background music.

The writer makes a good point toward the end of the column about businesses taking advantage of the obscure and artsy nature of culture now. The Panera Bread commercial is ridiculous because it doesn’t make sense. In this case, Panera Bread is putting together random words and phrases that try and advertise its product. But, these seemingly random words still have a meaning. While the meaning may be really stupid, there is a reason an advertising agency strung those words together for a campaign.

Most things in the media have meanings behind them, whether it be the newest Nickelback song or the new Teenage M u t a n t N i n j a Tu r t l e s movie. It may not be as important of a meaning of something like “To Pimp a Butterfly” or “12 Years a Slave,” but nonetheless, they have a meaning. It may be nonsensical on the first viewing or first listen, but with more times being exposed to that media, the message becomes more and more clear. @DavidGayDT

s an undergraduate student, I made a point to read The Daily Toreador every day. Sometimes I just skimmed over the stories and then worked the Sudoku, but I liked the idea of grabbing a newspaper every morning. I guess I’m just old fashioned like that.

The more I read, the more interested I became, until I developed the crazy idea that maybe I could write opinion columns. I never expected to get hired (for a volunteer position, no less), but just before I started my junior year in the fall of 2011, I got an email from the opinions editor, and I soon became a regular contributor to The DT. Fast-forward nearly five years — through finishing my bachelor’s degree and surviving three years of law school — and here I sit, preparing to leave this place and these people I’ve grown so close to.

The things I’ve learned and been able to do here simply amaze me when I stop and think about them.

As an opinions columnist, I not only had to develop opinions, but also support them with facts, which in some ways is becoming a lost art in today’s society. As opinions editor, I learned to manage a staff of writers, some of whom were wonderful while others proved more of a challenge. As managing editor, leadership and managing a staff moved to an even bigger scale.

A s e d i t o r- i n - c h i e f , I learned one undeniable truth — it’s tough being the boss.

Everything is ultimately your responsibility, and sometimes being in charge means you can’t be everyone’s friend, no matter how hard you may try.

This last year, I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with many great people in the Texas Tech community who I never would have met without The DT. I’ve expanded my capabilities and produced content I’m proud to have written. The experiences I’ve had and the things I’ve been able to do will stay with me forever.

Of course the people I’ve been surrounded with here at The DT have left their mark as well, and at the risk of this sounding like an Oscar acceptance speech, there are a number of them I have to thank for helping me get to this point.

I have to first thank former opinions editor Chris Leal, who hired me as a columnist even though I had no real writing experience. It was through comparing how my columns looked when I submitted them to the edited versions in the paper that I learned a great deal about what good writing actually is. I had the opportunity to further develop my opinions while being exposed to some new ones, and I’ll forever be grateful for that.

Former editor-in-chief Jose Rodriguez (now a distinguished member of The Dallas Morning News) first hired me as opinions editor in the fall of 2012. Now admittedly I was the only one who applied for the position, but I suppose he could have just left the position open and done the job himself if he wasn’t comfortable with me. Still, I owe him a great deal for bringing me on to the editorial staff, and I don’t think I ever had more fun at The DT than I did that first semester as opinions editor. Thanks, J-Rod. His successor, Kassidy Ketron, taught me a valuable lesson about what it takes to be EIC.

the purposes of this column (though everyone on staff that night knows what I’m talking about).

We were so angry that we were about ready to march out of the newsroom and inflict some mob justice, but it was Kassidy who calmed us down and prevented havoc. Being EIC is a great responsibility, and she took it seriously. That night, I saw what real leadership could do. Thank you for the example, Kassidy.

Kassidy’s successor (and my immediate predecessor) Carson Wilson Turner may actually have played the biggest role of all in my becoming EIC. The obvious first step was when she hired me as her managing editor for the spring 2015 semester, but even then, I never really entertained the idea of becoming EIC, especially while attending law school. But when it came time to submit EIC applications for the 20152016 academic year, Carson called me into her office and asked about my plans.

At first I gave some halfhearted answer about how I wasn’t her logical successor and that I just assumed someone else would get it, but then she looked me in the eye and asked, “Do you want it?” The question hit me like a freight train because I’d never actually considered whether or not I wanted the job. After thinking about it, I decided I did want it, and I’m so grateful to Carson for asking that question because she saw the potential in me to do this job even when I didn’t see it in myself. Thank you, Carson.

Once I became EIC, it wasn’t an easy road, and I wouldn’t have gotten through this year without some key people alongside me.

The first is managing editor Amy Cunningham, who’s been the better half of our management team this year.

The way she has handled herself and how she has always had my back are beyond impressive, and she’s been an excellent managing editor.

I’m proud she will be taking over as EIC in the fall, and I have no doubt she’ll make a bigger impact than I ever could have. Thanks for everything, Amy, and good luck.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our faculty advisers, Sheri Lewis and Andrea Watson. They listened during the countless times I needed to vent, they were a sounding board when I had ideas (some good and some not so good) and, in playing devil’s advocate, they helped me see things from a different perspective than I otherwise would have. Their counsel has been invaluable, and that’s one part of this job I will truly miss. Thank you both.

There are countless others I’ve had the privilege to work with during my time at The DT, many of whom I’m proud to call my friends. They’ve all helped to make this the greatest experience of my life, and I wouldn’t trade a minute of it.

To those who are returning to The DT in the fall, I have no doubt you’ll kick some serious butt next year, and I’m looking forward to seeing it — except this time, once again, as a reader. It’s the circle of life, and what an amazing circle this has been. editor@dailytoreador.com

Time at The DT brings experience, lasting relationships

W

hen we leave for college, we are uprooted from our families. We then embark on a journey to find a new family, a college family, made up of the friends we meet.

I found my college family while working at The Daily Toreador.

Yes, working at The DT has given me invaluable experience I will be able to use to further my career and has given me the skills to succeed at almost any job I find myself in.

But more than that, it gave me relationships I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life.

Working for a studentrun publication, everyone is in the same boat. We all

procrastinate until the last possible minute on homework, have no money, and we all hate, and I mean hate, group projects.

I know I’ll probably never get the chance to work in an environment as free as this one, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to experience a setting like this while I could.

It all began one day during my sophomore year. I got a direct message in my Twitter inbox from Zach DiSchiano, a well-loved

member of The Daily Toreador at the time, who encouraged me to apply to work there.

I followed up on his suggestion, and found myself as a La Vida writer alongside the angel who is Jennifer Romero.

I remember during introductions we had to say an interesting fact about ourselves, and with great confidence I said, “My name is Hannah Hipp and I love One Direction.”

FACEPALM. Fortunately, there was an extremely fashionable woman named Chantal Espinoza who shared my love for One D, and she took me in and accepted me, regardless of my extreme awkwardness and love of

boy bands.

That was probably because her best friend and The DT photo editor at the time Emily de Santos is the single person out there who may be more awkward than I am.

Emily and I bonded over cats, overwhelming social anxiety and our general hatred for all things involving social interaction.

It’s a beautiful friendship.

Through Chantal and Emily I was inducted into the RHA family and got to know fellow RHA members Amy Cunningham, Kristen Barton and Emma Adams.

Yes, that is THE Emma Adams.

I can’t say much about our interactions because Kristen probably said

something too inappropriate to ever share any place ever, but I will say our various group texts have been my single best source of “LOLs,” “OMGs” and “SMH” moments.

My brief stint as a sports reporter introduced me to the coolest staff on the planet, headed by Everett Corder, and we all shared a love for Dallas sports in some way or another.

You would not believe the amount of trash talk thrown around at the expense of the Houston Astros. I could cry just thinking about it.

I’ve had the privilege of bonding over a love of Alabama Shakes with Anthony Estolano and learning impressive and extensive movie knowl-

edge from David Gay (for God’s sake, David, lose the cargos).

There are so many other people I could mention and all have impacted my life in some way, and I thank all of you for the memories we’ve shared.

All of this goes to say that yes, I have gained great work experience here at The DT , but I gained so much more than just experience.

I gained a family, and they may get on my last nerve sometimes, but at the end of the day I know any of them wouldn’t hesitate to have my back, and I’m going to miss them all more than they could know. @DailyToreador

Time at The DT creates lasting memories, friendships

I

have known for a long time I want to be a journalist. So, when I was accepted to Texas Tech I knew I wanted to be a part of the student newspaper.

After submitting an application and three different interviews, Amy Cunningham, current managing editor and at the time La Vida editor, decided to hire me. Thanks for taking a chance on me and helping me learn, Amy. From there, it was countless hours in the newsroom, way too many interviews to count and the opportunity to grow as a journalist.

After a semester writing on staff, Carson Wilson Turner, former editorin-chief, hired me as La Vida editor. I got to learn so much about leadership while working for Carson, and I am forever grateful for her

influence in my life.

After a semester in that position, I have spent the past year as the news editor and it has been my favorite position yet. Nothing beats the adrenaline rush of covering breaking news, the excitement I feel right before interviewing someone in administration or the time I kind of forced former governor Rick Perry to talk to me (don’t worry I didn’t break the law or anything I promise).

But now, I will be going to work as a writing intern in the Office of Communications and Marketing. I am

so excited to continue writing about Tech and build up my experience.

So, given all of the hard work I have put into this publication, this is a surreal moment for me, my last byline in The Daily Toreador.

I have had hundreds of bylines in this paper, with at least one in every section of this publication. I have interviewed presidents of the university, been in the press box of Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park and Jones AT&T Stadium, met congressional candidates and told countless stories.

Most of that I probably won’t remember.

I won’t remember the time we put together the campus carry issue in 24 hours, my one-on-one interview with Interim President John Opperman or any of the

awards I’ve won.

I’ll remember the night of the Blue Bell recall when Amy and I ate Blue Bell and thought we were going to die, harassing the way too many Rangers and Astros fans (looking at you, sports staff, Hannah Hipp and Emma Adams) I work with while they played the Yankees and all the fun I had with the news staff in our staff meetings. I’ll remember all of the games we went to together and when our former sports editor, Everett Corder, taught me how to keep book at baseball games and all of the Tech sports history he’s taught me.

Don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely loved every story I have had the chance to tell during my two years at this publication. I have gotten to meet sexual assault prevention activists, most of the ad-

ministration of this university and countless students trying to make a change on Tech’s campus. But the experience I have gained here is what matters. As a journalism student, I have learned the importance of telling a story and ways to do so. As a member of The DT, I have learned the impact those stories can have, and the impact the people you meet along the way can have on you.

I have met some of my best friends while working here. I am going to miss seeing them every day so much, but I am proud of what they have each accomplished and I wish them all the best of luck.

I have gained so much experience here and so many memories with people I care about more than I could have imagined. This year, I have had an absolutely

phenomenal staff, and I am so proud of how far each of them has come.

Journalism is my passion, it’s hard and I know I won’t have much money after graduation, but I can’t imagine anything else. I am thankful I had the chance to develop my skills as a journalist, and give a voice to people who felt unheard.

Thank you, to everyone who has influenced me along the way. Thank you to all of my friends who have stood by me and had my back these past two years.

I have worked with talented and hardworking people, I can only hope I have left an impact on them the way they have on me.

Thank you, The Daily Toreador, for two great years. @KristenBartonDT

Uber, Lyft suspend service in Austin over fingerprint rule

AUSTIN (AP) — Uber and Lyft on Monday suspended their ride-hailing services in Austin after voters decided against overturning city requirements that include fingerprinting their drivers.

But following Saturday’s vote, a lawmaker who is a rideshare supporter said that when the Texas Legislature reconvenes next year it will consider establishing statewide regulations for rideshare companies that will aim to be “consistent and predictable.”

“It has become increasingly clear that Texas’ rideshar-

ing companies can no longer operate effectively through a patchwork of inconsistent and anti-competitive regulations,” Republican Sen. Charles Schwertner of Georgetown told the Houston Chronicle on Sunday. “As a state with a long tradition of supporting the free market, Texas should not accept transparent, uniondriven efforts to create new barriers to entry for the sole purpose of stifling innovation and eliminating competition.”

The Austin AmericanStatesman reported nearly 56 percent of voters rejected

a proposition Saturday that would have repealed rules the Austin City Council approved in December.

Under the rules, drivers must undergo fingerprintbased background checks by Feb. 1, 2017. Uber and Lyft prefer name-based checks.

The city’s ordinance also prohibits drivers from stopping in traffic lanes for passenger drop-offs and pickups, requires “trade dress” to identify vehicles for hire and imposes a variety of data reporting requirements.

The finger-printing ques-

tion was the key fight in the campaign. Uber and Lyft had poured nearly $9 million into their campaign to overturn the rules.

Advocates for fingerprinting said it’s the best way to weed out drivers with criminal records.

Ride-hailing companies have said their background checks suffice and that fingerprint databases can be out of date. Fingerprinting can also slow down the process of quickly adding new drivers.

Austin appeared to be the

chosen battleground for ridehailing companies that are facing similar restrictions in major cities across the country, including Chicago, Los Angeles and Atlanta.

Houston imposed its own rules requiring fingerprint background checks 18 months ago, prompting Lyft to leave the city. Uber stayed, but its general manager recently wrote a letter to the Houston City Council saying it would ultimately leave if the regulations were not repealed.

Sides battle on after judge tosses Redstone health-care case LOS ANGELES (AP) — The battle over the fortune of ailing media mogul Sumner Redstone shifted to a new front Monday after a judge threw out the case over his medical care and both sides vowed to hit each other with new lawsuits.

The 92-year-old who controls CBS Corp. and Viacom Inc. clearly stated his intentions in videotaped testimony last week, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David J. Cowan ruled. Redstone said in a profanity-laced deposition that he wanted his daughter, Shari, to make medical decisions for him if he is incapacitated and that he no longer wanted for-

mer girlfriend Manuela Herzer in his life.

Herzer filed a petition last year contending that Redstone lacked the mental capacity to expel her from his home and could no longer make informed decisions. She said he was manipulated by his nursing staff and Shari Redstone.

Cowan didn’t rule on Redstone’s mental capacity or whether he suffered undue influence. He simply said the court didn’t need to get involved once Redstone made his intentions clear.

The businessman has a serious speech impediment, relies on a feeding tube and

requires 24-hour care, but his doctor has not declared him incapacitated.

Herzer ’s lawyer, Pierce O’Donnell, told reporters outside court that his client had filed a new suit for at least $70 million — this time against Shari Redstone for interfering with Herzer’s expected inheritance and invasion of privacy.

She alleges the daughter had set up a “spy network” using her father’s nurses to help her dislodge Herzer from Sumner Redstone’s life.

The lawsuit included emails purported to be from one of Redstone’s nurses, Joseph Octaviano, both to Shari Red-

stone and her son, Tyler Korff, describing daily care and the comings and goings of Herzer and ex-girlfriend Sydney Holland. One email describes a meeting between Holland’s lawyers and Redstone that Octaviano writes was “secretly taped” by a nurse.

“It was an orchestrated, devious campaign to take over her father and his empire,” O’Donnell said.

Shari Redstone said a statement Monday that she was grateful the court ended case.

She also responded to the new lawsuit, calling it “total fiction” and a “baseless attack against the Redstone family.”

Former drinking-water reservoir to open for tours in Houston have a stunning, up-close view of downtown.

And maybe, they thought, the park could also find a use for the enormous underground space that they knew must exist beneath the hill.

It had been a drinking-water reservoir, built in the 1920s, a space as large as one and a half football fields. Now the city was taking bids to demolish the leaky old thing, to remove its concrete and fill it with dirt.

But, the consultants wondered, could the park instead put the reservoir to use?

As underground parking,

maybe? Or to store mulch?

They had the city’s workmen open the hatches on top of the hill. Then, armed with flashlights, the consultants climbed down a skinny metal ladder, into the humid dark.

And there they encountered the sublime.

Light from the overhead hatches pierced the blackness in dramatic shafts — a moody chiaroscuro that Velasquez or Rembrandt would have loved. As the consultants’ eyes adjusted, they saw hundreds of slender concrete columns, 25 feet tall, stretching in rows to the far edges of the velvety

blackness. Reflected in the six or so inches of water that remained in the reservoir, the columns looked even taller, even more magical.

The place sounded special, too: As if someone had turned up the reverb to 11. A handclap’s echo would bounce back and forth, from cement wall to cement wall, for an astonishing 17 seconds, the sound waves colliding with each other, ebbing and flowing, as if in a physics demonstration.

Without thinking, the consultants lowered their voices. But even their whispers reverberated.

ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON (AP) — In early summer of 2010, nobody thought much about the odd artificial hill where, every year, the city of Houston launched Fourth of July fireworks.

Next to Jamail Skate Park, the hill lay inside a strip of land that Buffalo Bayou Partnership was preparing to buy and transform into a park.

Lady Raiders preparing for NCAA Tournament

By DAVID GAY Staff Writer

Ending the season with a NCAA tournament bid, the Texas Tech women’s tennis team finished the 2015-16 season with an overall record of 23-5. The team enters the NCAA tournament ranked No. 16 nationally and, according to a May Tech Athletics news release, is the fourth consecutive NCAA tournament selection under Tech coach Todd Petty.

According to a May story in The Daily Toreador, the team maintained a top 20 ranking in the ITA collegiate rankings all season.

Members of the team also made the Big 12 Conference All-Tournament team. Freshman Felicity Maltby was No. 5 in the singles portion of the Big 12 Conference All-Tournament team. Maltby had a record of 20-2 in the season.

In the doubles portion, sophomore Gabriela Talaba and freshman Alex Valenstein were ranked as the No. 1 doubles team on the Big 12 Conference All-Tournament team.

The team started the season off in January with four straight wins at the McLeod Tennis Center. According to a January story in The DT, three of the four teams faced on the ITA Kickoff Weekend were ranked.

Tech will take on Boston University on Friday at 5 p.m. pionships, the team went 2-1, with its only loss coming from the No. 2 ranked team at the time, Georgia. They stayed to defeat the Wisconsin Badgers 4-1 after the championships.

“I’m very proud of how emotionally invested the team was during today’s match,” Petty said in a February release. “We didn’t play the cleanest tennis, but

everyone competed very well.

Give credit to Wisconsin for battling us in every position, they are a very tough team that didn’t go away.”

The win against Wisconsin started a seven-game winning streak for the team.

However, at the start of Big 12 play Tech fell to TCU 4-0.

According to a March story in The DT, the 15-2 start from

the team was the best start for them since 1987.

In April, Tech got its first Big 12 win against Kansas State, 4-0. According to an April story in The DT, this was the seventh time in the season Tech shut out an opponent in the season.

This match against Kansas State was moved indoors because of inclement weather.

“This was our first indoor match this season, and it’s a little different without crowd involvement,” Petty said in an April news release. “I thought the girls did a good job of creating their own energy. I thought we did a good job of that which allowed us to finish strong.”

Tech went 5-2 to finish off the regular season. This

stretch included wins against Baylor, for the first time since 1988, and Kansas.

Tech defeated its first two opponents, Texas and TCU, in the Big 12 Championships but lost to No. 15 Oklahoma in the final, 4-0.

Petty said he was worried the loss to Oklahoma would affect the team’s ranking in the NCAA tournament.

Petty is now excited for the team to get to play in the first round of the NCAA tournament at home.

Overall, Petty said he is proud of the growth of this team throughout 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.”

Tech faces Boston in the first round of the NCAA tournament at 5 p.m. on Friday at the McLeod Tennis Center.

The winner of that match will face the winner of the Mississippi State and Virginia Tech match on Saturday in the second round of the tournament. @DavidGayDT

ASSOCIATED PRESS

San Antonio’s RC Buford named NBA Executive of the Year (AP) — R.C. Buford is the last person to take a victory lap, especially when the San Antonio Spurs are in the middle of a second-round playoff fight with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Spurs GM won’t be extolling his virtues or patting himself

on the back for the remarkable job he did in helping the franchise embark on an uncharacteristic path last summer.

San Antonio Coach Gregg Popovich is happy to do it for him.

“The best way to put it would be to say we’d be lost without him,”

Popovich said Monday after Buford was named NBA Executive of the Year for the second time in the last three seasons. “I think those few words say it all. His organizational abilities, his foresight, his ability to plan ahead of time and make judicious and wise decisions is off the

charts. We would have had a hard time keeping this together for this long if he wasn’t here.”

Buford led the field with 77 total points in voting by fellow NBA executives. Portland’s Neil Olshey, who deftly helped the Trail Blazers recover from

losing star forward LaMarcus Aldridge to the Spurs last summer, finished in second place and Golden State’s Bob Myers — the front office leader of the defending champions that won a league-record 73 games this season — was third.

Red Raiders fall short of goals

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

Texas Tech coach Adrian Gregory’s second season at the helm of the Tech softball team ended with the team finishing with a 23-32 overall record.

Tech’s nonconference schedule matched up the Red Raiders against some of the nation’s top 25 teams, and of its 14 games against ranked opponents, Tech gained one win against a then ranked No. 22 California team.

At home versus nonconference opponents, Tech won eight of its 12 contests, with its four losses going to Ohio, Stephen F. Austin, Boise State and Abilene Christian.

Entering the Big 12 Conference portion of its season, Tech swept the Oklahoma State Cowgirls at home in a trio of hitting marathons.

Coming out of a 9-7 win off a two-run walk-off shot from freshman designated player Jessica Hartwell. Tech followed its walk-off win by surviving a 19-18 shootout,

Freshman designated player Jessica Hartwell slides into third base in an attempt to avoid being tagged during the Red Raiders’ softball game against Baylor on May 1 at Rocky Johnson Field. Tech finished with a 23-32 overall record. its highest scoring game of the season. An 8-7 victory ended the series for the Red Raiders, and in its next series Tech defeated the Texas Longhorns 3-2 to go 4-0 at the start of the Big 12.

Tech’s next game against the Longhorns, however, acted as a

turning point in Tech’s season.

To knot up the series, the Longhorns shutout Tech in a 2-0 victory in game two and to win the series gained an early 4-0 lead and held on for an 8-4 victory.

The Texas series loss began a seven-game losing streak as the Kansas Jay-

hawks allowed just three runs in three games and Abilene Christian gave up only one run in a 3-1 win at Tech’s home field and Iowa State walked away with a 8-6 win.

After the opening loss to Iowa State, the Red Raiders won the series and continued

on to sweep a doubleheader against North Texas.

At the tail end of the season, the Big 12 leaders, Baylor and Oklahoma, crafted overpowering performances through their overpowering pitching. Although Tech earned a pair of runs early in the first and second games versus Baylor, the Red Raiders could not prevent Baylor from producing big innings. By the end of its series against Baylor, the Red Raiders compiled 10 runs to Baylor’s 40 and lost the final two decisions by run-rule.

Fending off Baylor for the Big 12 regular season first place finish, Oklahoma landed an 8-0 victory over Tech in the opening game of Tech’s final series of the season. Sophomore pitcher Paige Parker, who allowed just three hits in Oklahoma’s 8-0 win, followed her performance by allowing just one hit in seven innings for a 4-0 victory over the Red Raiders.

Tech’s only run in the series came in its final game of the sea-

son as Oklahoma recorded the fourth run-rule finish against the Red Raiders in six games.

While the team finished slightly above last place Iowa State in the Big 12 standings, the season had some positives for the future of the Red Raiders. Junior right fielder Kierra Miles finished the season tallying 17 home runs, the most by a Tech player in a single season, and Tech’s freshman class had shining moments throughout Tech’s 55-game schedule. Among Tech’s freshman class, left fielder Kiani Ramsey finished the season leading the team in batting average at .348, while Hartwell batted eight home runs and Karli Hamilton hit seven home runs in 45 total appearances and 27 starts.

Next season, Tech’s immediate roster needs include finding replacements at the positions left open by senior centerfielder Jordan Bettiol, senior second baseman Kristen Schwirtlich and senior short stop Brooke Scott. @DGaytanDT

MEN’S TENNIS

Team prepares for NCAA Tournament run

By DAVID GAY Staff Writer

Ending the regular season at 27-5, the Texas Tech men’s tennis team has the opportunity to continue its season after a first round bid in the NCAA tournament.

Seniors Felipe Soares and Hugo Dojas led the doubles portion of the Tech team, winning the ITA Indoor National Championship in November.

According to a May story in The Daily Toreador, Dojas and Soares will represent Tech in the 2016 NCAA Men’s Tennis Singles and Doubles Championships starting on May 25.

According to the article, Soares will also participate in the singles competition. This is the third time Soares has participated in the singles portion

of the championships.

Tech started the season with 10 straight wins, five of the coming against ranked opponents.

Each team Tech faced in the ITA Kickoff weekend was ranked in the top 25 to start the season.

Tech coach Brett Masi said in a January Tech Athletics news release before the ITA Kickoff the competition would be a good gauge to see where they stood in the early stages of the season against some of the best teams in the country.

In the ITA Kickoff, Tech defeated No. 17 Ole Miss 4-0 and No. 21 Florida 4-3.

After wins against Clemson and Abilene Christian, Tech’s first loss came from No. 7 ranked North Carolina in the ITA National Indoor Championships. Tech defeated its other two opponents in the

championships to go 2-1.

According to a February The Daily Toreador article, Masi said he was proud of how his team responded after a loss to North Carolina to start the tournament.

“I’m proud of our guys for coming back strong after our doubles performance,” Masi said in a February news release.

“We almost shot ourselves in the foot and we could’ve let that set the tone for our singles matches but we were able to show some fight and grit.”

After four straight wins against Georgia, UTSA and North Carolina State, Tech was defeated by No. 5 Wake Forest, 4-0.

After the Wake Forest match, Masi said in a February news release the team did not have its best day.

“When you play a team like Wake Forest, you can’t expect to be able to fight back from a bad start,” Masi said. “Basically, we didn’t show up to start the match.”

After sweeping the San Diego Invitational, Tech went 2-1 in the Rice Invitational in Houston. Tech defeated William & Mary and Drake University and dropped the final match against Rice.

To end the season, Tech went 5-1 against ranked opponents.

Tech defeated No. 5 ranked TCU in the final match of the season to get a share of the Big 12 title.

Tech moved on to the Big 12 championships and defeated Baylor in the semifinals 4-3.

In the championship game, Tech lost to TCU, 4-2.

In the first round of the NCAA tournament, Tech will

TRACK AND FIELD

Red Raiders find success in outdoor season

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Staff Writer

The Texas Tech track and field team made a strong run in the regular season putting up personal bests, multiple first place finishes in events and breaking school records, along with other accomplishments.

The Red Raiders kicked the season off at the Arkansas Invitational in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

The track and field team picked up two nation-leading times and several personal bests, which proved to be common for the Red Raiders this season.

Athletes such as senior Chris Caldwell, sophomore Trey Culver and freshman Brandon Bray all ended the first meet ranked high in the nation.

The Red Raiders continued to make strides a few weeks later at the New Mexico Team Invite in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Personal bests were set, and the Red Raiders took first place finishes in multiple events and a school record was broken.

At the meet, junior Viershanie Latham broke the school record in the triple jump with a distance of 13.01m/42-8.5, placing her No. 8 in the NCAA at the time.

The Red Raiders were able to make history at the Big 12 Conference Indoor Championships in Ames, Iowa, doing something no other team had previously done in the Big 12.

The Tech squad was able to sweep the top three spots in the pentathlon with senior Shanice Stewart taking the title, tallying 4,104 points, and senior Natalie Thompson and freshman Kaylee Hinton following Stewart close behind with 4,028 and 4,026 points.

The following day of the Big 12 Indoor Championships, two additional Red

Raiders were named champions. Caldwell took the men’s 60-meter hurdles and Latham took the women’s triple jump at the meet.

Senior Gionna Jackson also took a medal in the triple jump, posting a personal best at 12.92m/42-4.75.

The Red Raiders rose to the occasion at the Texas Relays in Austin, one month after the Big 12 Indoor meet. Culver set a personal best in the high jump and Jackson set a season best in the women’s long jump. Culver advanced to the last day of the relays where he took second in the high jump.

Transitioning into the outdoor season, Latham turned heads again as she was able to break another school record which stood for 27 years. Her distance at the Wes Kittley Invitational in Abilene set her at No. 4 in the NCAA West Region for the triple jump.

Sophomore C.J. Jones and junior Kyle Collins took first place finishes for their events in the 400-meter and 800-meter.

Weeks after the Wes Kit-

tley Invitational, one Red Raider was able to set a huge personal goal. Junior Bernard Keter broke a 40-year-old school record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, finishing with a time of 8:40.43.

Senior Hannah Carson came out of the shadows at the Michael Johnson Invitational in Waco as she racked up 30 personal or season bests, four top 10 all-time school marks, three stadium records, one school record and even a NCAA-leading mark. Carson’s toss of 55.29m/181-4 in the javelin shattered the stadium record and gave her a season best mark.

Carson threw even further on her fourth toss with a distance of 60.42m/198-3 to break her own school record set at the USA Championships last June. Her throw gave her the NCAA lead and set her at No. 12 in the world.

The men’s side of the team competed well in Waco. The 4x100 relay team consisting of sophomore Nigel Bethel, freshman

Andrew Hudson, senior Kareem McBride and junior Kyle Collins finished with the sixth fastest time in school history with a mark of 39.50 seconds.

After the strong showing at the Michael Johnson Invitational, the men’s side of the track and field team moved up to No. 9 in the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association computer rankings.

The Red Raiders stayed on the road after the Michael Johnson Invitational and traveled to Des Moines, Iowa, for the Drake Relays.

Culver picked up his second win of the outdoor season in the men’s high jump at the Drake Relays.

Carson also picked up a first place finish, but this time it came in the discus.

On her second throw, she tossed for a distance of 53.94m/176-11 to claim her second win of the season in the event.

To finish the regular season, the Red Raiders hosted the Masked Rider Open, which was the sec-

On the first day of the meet, the Tech squad put on a show for the home crowd, blowing away three school records.

Latham broke the triple jump record, hitting a mark of 13.60m/44-7.5 to put her where she currently sits at No. 2 in the nation. Jackson added another school record in the women’s long jump, leaping 6.34m/20.9.75.

Carson closed out the regular season with another record-breaking day at the Masked Rider Open.

She threw for a distance of 61.97m/203-4, eclipsing a school record and setting the Olympic games standard. Carson now sits at No. 2 in the NCAA. After dust cleared from the Masked Rider Open

and the regular season dwindled down, both the men’s and women’s teams finished in the top 20 in the NCAA rankings.

On the men’s side, they ended the regular season at No. 8 overall while the women ended up being No. 19 overall.

The showing by Tech this season allowed the team to make some big accomplishments. Records were broken, medals were given and improvements were made to propel the Red Raiders into a strong season.

Now that the regular season is behind the Tech squad, they hope to rattle some cages and make even more accomplishments at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships.

they have two of the top three base stealers in the Big 12.

Senior designated hitter Cory Raley and senior outfielder Zach Davis are a perfect 27 out of 27 on stolen bases attempts this season, according to the Tech Athletics website.

“We worked a lot on it in the fall, just getting good reads,” Raley said. “We just

try to press the issue a little bit. Trying to be more aggressive and get into scoring position for other guys.”

Freshman southpaw Erikson Lanning is the most likely starter for the Red Raiders on the mound. In nine appearances this season, he is 2-3 with a 5.92 ERA.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A&M assistant disciplined for tweets COLLEGE STATION (AP) — Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin says assistant Aaron Moorehead has been disciplined for a series of tweets about loyalty and accountability he posted last week after a highly touted quarterback recruit announced he was breaking a verbal commitment to the Aggies.

Sumlin said in a statement Monday that Moorehead “abused the privilege of social media and the result reflected poorly” on

Moorehead, the football team and the school.

A few minutes after Tate Martell from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas tweeted Wednesday night that he was reopening his recruitment, Moorhead posted, “I feel sorry for ppl who never understand loyalty.”

Moorehead followed with more critical tweets, never naming Martell. Soon after, another Aggies recruit, receiver Mannie Netherly, posted on Twitter that he also was

reversing his commitment.

Sumlin’s statement also said: “He has apologized publicly and privately for his actions and I am confident that he understands the expectations moving forward. However, there are consequences for actions and Aaron has been disciplined and the details will remain private. We will use this as a learning tool for all of our coaches, staff and student-athletes, and we are now moving forward as a program.”

Years later, NC State title team meets president WASHINGTON (AP) — North Carolina State University’s victorious 1983 men’s basketball team finally got its day at the White House on Monday. Older but no less happy, team members debated with President Barack Obama whether the famous, game-winning dunk came after a shot or pass.

At the time, the school wouldn’t cover the players’ transportation to Washington or hotel rooms. And accepting a donor’s offer would have violated NCAA rules.

Only Wolfpack coach Jimmy Valvano met then-President Ronald Reagan.

“Everybody looks like they could still ball a little bit,” Obama said as he and Vice President Joe Biden posed for a photograph with the players. They presented the president with a red team jersey emblazoned with Obama’s name and the number 1 on the back.

Lorenzo Charles’ buzzer beater clinched the 54-52 victory over Houston, which featured Hall of Famers Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. It came off of Dereck Whittenburg’s long-range heave with the clock ticking down.

Obama recalled a manic

coach Valvano running across the court in joy after time expired, but the president asked the question that has always lingered over that final play: Did Charles’ catch and dunk come from a shot or pass? Obama got different answers from different players, and some laughs.

Monday’s honors came too late for NC State’s coach and the team’s winning scorer. Valvano died in 1993; Charles in 2011.

But more than three decades after the upset, Obama said he was glad to make up for the team missing the ritual White House trip.
