Abbott to donate money from white supremacist AUSTIN (AP) — Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is donating to charity a $1,000 campaign contribution from the leader of a white supremacist group cited by Charleston church murder suspect Dylann Roof.

Abbott spokesman Matt Hirsch said Monday the money will be given to the Salvation Army. During his campaign for governor, Abbott received two $500 donations from Earl Holt, who is the leader of the Council of Conservative Citizens.

Roof is accused of killing nine blacks at a South Carolina church last week. An online manifesto purportedly written by Roof said he learned about “brutal black on white murders” from Holt’s group.

Holt has donated to numerous GOP candidates on the national and state level. That includes Sen. Ted Cruz, who has said he will return a $8,500 donation.

Blondes vs. Brunettes game raises money for Alzheimer’s Association

Airlines report record first quarter bag, change fees NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. airlines continue to collect record fees from passengers who check suitcases or make changes to their reservations. In the first three months of this year, airlines took in $1.6 billion in such fees, up 7.4 percent from the same period last year.

That’s the highest amount for the first quarter since bag fees started in 2008, according to data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. January through March is traditionally the slowest period for air travel.

The fees climbed, in part, because more passengers flew at the start of the year — 3.2 percent more seats were filled. The airlines also increased some fees and forced more passengers to pay them.

While the standard fee for the first checked suitcase remains $25, fees have been going up for the second or third checked bag or for overweight luggage. And more passengers are now subject to those fees, which can be as high as $200 per bag. For instance, United Airlines recently reduced the number of bags some elite frequent fliers can check for free.

Texas plans $1B Austin project to house state offices AUSTIN (AP) — A construction project in excess of $1 billion will include three new state office buildings in Austin and the renovation of other state-owned properties.

The Austin American-Statesman reports the impetus for the project is skyrocketing rents that are pushing officials to open a pair of downtown buildings by 2020.

A third building is planned for north Austin that will house more than half the state’s health and human services operations in Austin.

Those offices now are scattered about the city in various rented spaces.

The size and look of the two downtown buildings won’t be known until next spring but one will be across from the Bob Bullock State History Museum and the other just a couple of blocks away. Both will be built on what are now parking lots.

The second annual Blondes vs. Brunettes football game took place Saturday at the John Walker Soccer Complex.

Organized by the Alzheimer’s Association, the event raised more than $100,000 for Alzheimer’s support, education and research, Landon King, event emcee and radio show host, said.

The blondes took home the trophy, defeating the brunette team 41-6. The blondes suffered a close defeat last year, Executive Chairman Vanessa Baker said, making this year’s victory a comeback for the team.

Last year’s game in Lubbock was the fastest growing Blondes vs. Brunettes tournament, Baker said. The tournament raised $54,000, with this year’s funds nearly doubling that.

While the exact total of this year’s fundraised amount will take a few weeks to process, Baker said, the Lubbock tournament hopes to retain its status as fastest growing again this year.

The stadium was full at the John Walker Soccer Complex, as Baker estimated more than 2,000 viewers in attendance.

Baker said while Texas Tech’s Jones AT&T Stadium was unavailable this year because of construction and renovation, the stadium would be available next year.

U.S. Chemistry Safety Board closes Tech investigation Five years after an explosion that injured a Texas Tech graduate student, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board has closed its investigation into the incident.

The CSB made two recommendations for Tech to change, according to a Tech news release, after the investigation concluded.

The CSB recommended the university expand the overall safety plan to include physical safety hazards, according to the release. Officials should ensure all Tech community members are aware of the plan.

The board also recommended the university implement a near-miss reporting system, according to the release, to understand any and all risks of work being conducted.

“The academic community at Texas Tech has taken on the challenge to develop a strong positive safety culture,” Alice Young, associate vice president for research, said in the release. “Staff, students, faculty and administrators have worked to change our expectations about the safety needs of our work and about how we act on those needs.”

According to a previous article in The Daily Toreador, chemistry graduate student Preston Brown suffered severe burn injuries to his hands and face after the Jan. 7, 2010 explosion in the Chemistry building.

A high-energy metal compound suddenly detonated, according to the release.

A mixture of three chemicals exploded, according to the article, and Brown was in critical condition in the burn unit at University Medical Center two weeks after the incident. The injuries were not life threatening. ➤➤@DailyToreador

Jones AT&T Stadium seating renovations underway

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

Almost immediately following the last home game of the 2014 season, the first step of renovating Jones AT&T Stadium began.

The seats and bleachers were ripped out of the stadium.

According to the Texas Tech Athletics website, the seats had been installed in the stadium and untouched since 1959.

For next football season, the location of seats and bleachers in the stadium will

remain in the same sections, Assistant Director of Athletics Matt Dowdy said. Because the project is only upgrading the seating, the capacity of Jones AT&T Stadium will remain the same at 60,454, according to the Tech Athletics website.

After being empty for months, the stadium’s new bleachers and seats are being installed now, Associate Athletic Director of Facilities and Operations Mike Ryan said.

Ryan has been overseeing the stadium seating renovations.

“There’s a couple different things going

on out there. Construction folks are working in front of the seating people. They are patching concrete and putting sealant down around the stadium,” he said. “The bleacher folks in coming in behind them and putting the bleachers in. Then, separately another company, American Seating, is coming in behind them and putting in the seats.”

Because the construction is so far along now, all three crews can work on sealant, seats and bleachers simultaneously now.

SEATING continued on Page 4 ➤➤

WORKERS INSTALL NEW bleachers at Jones AT&T Stadium on Friday. The project, in which all bleachers and seats in the stadium are replaced, is expected to be completed Aug. 1 with a total cost of $3.9 million.

Tech, other universities start drone project Chorale alumni reunite for Lubbock concert

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

By JARROD MILLER Staff Writer

“

That’s the primary goal — basically try and make the aircraft have an artificial intelligence type of project.

“

With a few major goals in mind, Texas Tech Atmospheric Science, the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Nebraska - Lincoln have partnered up to start a drone project.

In this project the groups are gathering information to find out the best use of energy with the environment the small aircraft is in, Chris Weiss, associate professor of Atmospheric Science and project investigator, said. The group is also coming up with software technologies that can direct the aircraft in the right direction to gain more energy from existing winds.

“We can find regions of vertical velocity, upward motion, for instance, that can help the aircraft conserve energy,” Weiss said. “That’s the primary goal — basically try and make the aircraft have an artificial intelligence type of project.”

Sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, there is an immense amount of interest in finding ways to conserve energy in an unmanned aircraft, he said.

The next step would be to use those aircrafts to study atmospheric phenomena, he said.

Through this three-way project each school has its individual responsibilities, Weiss said. Tech provides its radar systems, Colorado provides the aircraft and Nebraska provides the intelligence to bridge those two systems together.

For Colorado, its interest lies in finding more persistence with its aircraft names, the Tempest, Eric Frew, assistant professor at Colorado Boulder and the principle investigator of the project, said.

Using nature as a model, his team wants to mock animals’ use of wind to be able to fly without exerting more energy than needed, he said.

“That’s more of what our focus is here,” Frew said. “You have a certain boundary layer, and if you’re surfing on that in essentially the right way, you can move without ever wasting

Justices to decide by June if taking on abortion case the Supreme Court.

The Texas law is among a wave of state measures in recent years that have placed restrictions on when in a pregnancy abortions may be performed, imposed limits on abortions using drugs instead of surgery and increased standards for clinics and the doctors who work in them.

The Texas case involves the last of these categories. The provisions at issue require clinics to meet hospital-like surgical standards and also call on doctors who work in the clinics to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry signed the law in 2013 when he was the state’s governor.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Abortion is back before the Supreme Court, and the justices could signal by the end of June whether they are likely to take up the biggest case on the hot-button subject in nearly a quarter-century.

If the court steps in, the hearing and the eventual ruling would come amid the 2016 presidential campaign.

The court is considering an emergency appeal from abortion providers in Texas, who want the justices to block two provisions of a state law that already has forced the closure of roughly half the licensed abortion clinics in the state. Ten of the remaining 19 clinics will have to shut their doors by July 1, without an order from

Both the blondes and the brunettes had been practicing very hard before the tournament, Baker said. Practices for the tournament started after Easter, with three practices each week with Lubbock High School football coaches. This last week, each team practiced each day in preparation for the game.

As to why each girl spends so much time volunteering for the event, Baker said personal loss and experience with the disease provides motivation.

“Most of the girls have lost someone from Alzheimer’s. Everybody has a special sweet story that goes along with a fight for the cure,” Baker said. “To everybody that plays this game, we encourage them to stay focused on the reason we are playing, and that is to raise awareness and to raise money.”

Blondes vs. Brunettes is a national tournament hosted throughout the U.S. by the Alzheimer’s Association. According to the Alzheimer’s Association website, the association’s biggest fundraising events are the Blondes vs. Brunettes game and the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s.This

Fort Hood pushes jobs for soldiers easing into civilian life FORT HOOD (AP) — Each year about 11,000 soldiers depart the post at Fort Hood, stepping back into the civilian life and the private workforce.

Some have little trouble transitioning into jobs. Others tap their GI Bill benefits, head to college and pursue a degree.

Yet many of them stumble over the first few steps off-post. The skills they picked up in the military often don’t translate well to corporate America, and many return to

hometowns with few opportunities.

So Col. Matt Elledge has set himself a lofty goal: to help every one of Fort Hood’s transitioning soldiers line up a job or a slot in school before they leave the Army. It’s an impossible target, he admits, but that hasn’t stopped him from trying.

Elledge, the garrison commander, has launched four new initiatives to help smooth the path between military service and the civilian workforce. Last

month, he met with members of the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce to pitch one of those efforts — a program that will place soldiers, mostly officers, with local companies for intensive, 13-week fellowship programs.

“It’s kind of like test-driving a new car,” Elledge said of the Heroes Corporate Fellowship Academy. “If we can get the transitioning soldier into a company . they’ll like what that soldier brings to the table.”

The program asks that compa-

nies give the soldiers legitimate projects to manage — to help them absorb the requirements of the business world, but also to give them a chance to prove their mettle in a live scenario. The hope is that participating companies hire the soldiers after their fellowships.

“Quite frankly,” Elledge told the Austin American-Statesman, “we just want them to allow access into their companies, because we believe our soldiers will sell themselves.”

University professor Till MacIvor Meyn, Davis said.

The chorale hosted its first reunion in the summer of 2011 in the First United Methodist Church in downtown Dallas, Ferguson said.

After a successful initial performance, a committee was formed to plan the continued performances.

Since the initial concert, the group has performed in many other venues, including the Mesquite Art Center, St. Rita’s Catholic Church and the Texas Chorale Director’s Conference in San Antonio, Ferguson said.

In regards to future performances in Lubbock, Ferguson said the chorale did not have any definite plans, but was hopeful to return.

“We kind of take it by a concert to concert basis,” Ferguson said, noting chorale members perform on a voluntary basis. “When you look at the future of this organization, I do see the possibility of returning to Lubbock, particularly because the support has been so overwhelming.”

The Ken Davis Chorale performed the Saturday in the crowded Hemmle Recital Hall, uniting Texas Tech alumni in a spirited performance for the Lubbock community.

As the choir members poured in from around the nation, the auditorium filled to hear alumni chorale members once again preform under renowned conductor Ken Davis.

“This particular event is very special,” William Ballenger, director of the Texas Tech School of Music, said.

“Unlike most alumni reunions, this ensemble has, as its core, the very essence of what brought them together in the first place: the creation of fine, beautiful music.”

Though the chorale members had been practicing individually for several months, they arrived late Thursday to begin rehearsals for the Saturday concert, Ken Davis Chorale spokeswoman Kristen Ferguson said.

In fact, Ferguson said the members

were responsible for mastering their musical parts prior to arrival, as the group had only 10 to 20 hours to practice together.

Despite the short amount of rehearsal time, the group preformed a wide array of chorale pieces. From the meticulous “Zigeunerlieder, Op. 103”

by Johannes Brahms, to the reflective “The Road Home” by Stephen Paulus, Davis led the chorale through a wide variety of pieces, Ferguson said.

“One of the things that Dr. Davis has always been known for is the diversity of his choirs,” Ferguson said. “He could take the same group of people and bring a different sound out of them with multiple genres of music, which make his concerts very diverse and very interesting.”

The concert debuted two original pieces. “Tenebrae,” originally written

by Richard Burchard, was rewritten from a tenor and bass piece into a four-piece arrangement for the chorale, Davis said. “Scotia Songs” also premiered, a lively piece written by chorale member and Texas Christian

Tech Athletics introduces 2015 Hall of Fame, Hall of Honor class

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

On Friday morning, Texas Tech announced that five former studentathletes will be inducted into the 2015 Hall of Fame while former athletic administrator Ken Murray will be inducted into the 2015 Hall of Honor.

The five former student athletes are Lin Elliott, Ronnie Mattson, Delroy Poyser, Vic Spooner and Tate Randle.

Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt said the five former players are joining the most elite group of Tech athletes.

“We are here today to recognize five very special individuals — five individuals that are going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame class,” he said. “These individuals will join some of the great names of Texas Tech.”

Elliott was a place kicker on the football team from 1988-1991. In his final season as a Red Raider, Elliott earned All-Southwest Conference honors as he set the school record

with 17 field goals in a single season.

This stood until it was broken in 2013, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

After his college career, Elliott went on to win Super Bowl XXVII with the Dallas Cowboys.

“I cannot express how much of an honor this is to be in this group and for the Double T association and the voters to think of me and vote me in. It’s such a privilege,” Elliott said. “Texas Tech gave me an opportunity. I wasn’t a highly recruited, blue chip athlete.”

Mattson played shortstop on the Red Raider baseball team from 19731976. He is one of five players in program history to be named an AllAmerican, according to the release.

He also earned All-Southwest Conference honors twice and finished his career as the school’s alltime leader in at-bats, runs scored, hits, total bases, doubles and triples. “(During tryouts) one of the assistant coaches told me, ‘Hey Mattson, you got a chance to play if you go get

2015 INDUCTEES

• Hall of Fame - Lin Elliott: place kicker, football - Ronnie Mattson: shortstop, baseball - Delroy Poyser: triple jump, track and field - Vic Spooner: defensive end, football - Tate Randle: safety, football • Hall of Honor - Ken Murray: athletics administrator a haircut.’ I mean, I ran to the barber shop that afternoon,” Mattson said.

“I got it all cut off. You know, back in the 70’s a lot of guys had their hair pretty long. I was devastated for about half a day and then what the heck, I’m going to play baseball at Texas Tech.”

The third inductee, Poyser was a three time All-American in his four year career on the track and field team.

Ex-MLB player Darryl Hamilton killed Seating↵ PEARLAND (AP) — Former Major League Baseball player Darryl Hamilton, a standout center fielder and a member of the New York Mets team that reached the 2000 World Series, was killed in a murder-suicide in a suburban Houston home, authorities said Monday.

Hamilton was found Sunday after he was fatally shot in a house in Pearland.

He was 50 and had worked for the MLB Network since 2013.

An initial investigation determined Hamilton was shot several times and that a woman in the home died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. She was identified as 44-year-old Monica Jordan, Pearland Police Lt. Patrick Savage said.

Police said the 14-month old child of Hamilton and Jordan found unharmed at the home was turned over to Child

Protective Services.

Hamilton, who was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, played for five teams over 13 seasons in the majors before retiring in 2001. He reached the postseason in four of his final five seasons.

He had a career batting average of .291 in 1,328 games with Milwaukee (1988, 1990-95), Texas (1996), San Francisco (1997-98), Colorado (1998-99) and the Mets (1999-2001). He batted left, but threw with his right arm and had a career fielding percentage of .995 with only 14 errors in 2,770 defensive chances.

In Hamilton’s only season with the Rangers, they made the playoffs for the first time in franchise history after winning the AL West title. He also went to the postseason with the Giants and two consecutive years in New York.

The 2015 football season kickoff is quickly approaching for the crews. Tech will open its season against Sam Houston State on Sept. 5 at Jones AT&T Stadium.

The athletics department hopes to have construction done weeks before this.

“Our target date is August 1,” Ryan said. “We are hopeful that everything will be completed by August 1 but we did leave ourselves a little bit of a buffer just to make sure everything is finished and the stadium is up to par.”

Once the renovations are done, the total cost of the seating project will be $3.9 million,

Recording Texas Tech history since 1925

At the end of his college career, Poyser was the school’s indoor and outdoor record holder in the triple jump. His record was recently broken

by Tech national champion Bryce Lamb in 2013, Rodney Allison, director of the Double T Varsity Club, said.

Track and Field coach Wes Kittley said it is because of outstanding athletes like Poyser that the track program is having success today.

Dowdy said.

One of the goals with the new bleachers is that they will not break off in the student section during a capacity home game.

Ryan said the bleachers have coming off for years and the new ones are expected to be stronger.

Since all the seats were removed from the stadium, there was no open practice or spring game for fans in Lubbock to see.

An event to make up for this is in planning stages, but nothing has been made official yet.

“Our promotions people and our football program have talked about that,” Ryan said. “We really wanted to be sure that the stadium is fully finished. With all the rain we’ve had and the flooding issues, we are a little cautious.

We don’t want people in the

Spooner played defensive end on the football team from 1952-1953.

He was named an All-Border Conference end in 1953 as his team finished with 11 wins, the most wins in Red Raider football history.

Spooner had other talents besides football as he played for the 1954 Tech baseball team, which was the first team since 1929, according to the release. Also, his picture that was used for the ceremony was taken out of the La Ventana yearbook for being named Tech’s Most Handsome Man. The final Hall of Fame inductee, Randle, played safety on the football team from 1978-1981. He was twotime All-Southwest Conference first team selection.

Randle’s 14 career interceptions are tied for the third most in school history, according to the release. After college, he played in the NFL for seven years and went on to play in the Arena Football League and be named to the all-league team three times.

He is now in the AFL Hall of Fame.

Spieth displays love of golf history following U.S. Open win UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. (AP) — Jordan Spieth loves golf history, which is appropriate for someone quickly becoming part of it.

Spieth was a freshman at Texas when he first went to St. Andrews with the rest of the Walker Cup team. They played the Old Course, soaked up the vibe at the home of golf and then headed north for their matches at Royal Aberdeen.

“It’s one of my favorite places in the world,” Spieth said Sunday evening. “I remember walking around the R&A clubhouse and seeing paintings of royalty playing golf, and it was dated 14-whatever. I’m thinking, our country was discovered in 1492 and they were playing golf here before anyone even knew the Americas existed.”

That was only four years ago, when not many outside golf circles

quarterback Ron Reeves jokingly said Randle was a little different because he never spit his dip and just swallowed it, but he was one of the toughest players on the team.

The single Hall of Honor inductee, Murray, worked for Tech for about 24 years as either its head athletic trainer or an athletics administrator until 2011 when he retired, according to the release. He also spent time serving as an athletic trainer for the Atlanta Falcons.

“When (I) came to work in 1978, there were 28 full-time employees in the (athletic department). That included every coach, Louie Alvarez and the maintenance crew, Ms. Carol Baker and the ticket office, only 28 of us,” Murray said. “I don’t know what the number is today, so for what this has become, I am so proud to be in the Hall of Honor.”

The 2015 Texas Tech Hall of Fame and Hall of Honor ceremony will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 30 in the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center.

knew Spieth. He’ll get more attention next time he arrives at St. Andrews.

The 21-year-old Texan, who slipped into a green jacket in April, hoisted the silver U.S. Open trophy Sunday at Chambers Bay. Not since Tiger Woods in 2002 has anyone won the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year, and it gets even more impressive to hear the short list of players who have: Jack Nicklaus. Arnold Palmer. Ben Hogan twice. Craig Wood.

Elite company? Sure, and there’s more.

The last guy to win the U.S. Open by one shot with a birdie on the final hole? That would be Bobby Jones in 1926. The only other player to win different major championships before turning 22? A guy named Gene Sarazen in 1922.

The names kept right on coming, and Spieth listened to them with a gleam in his blue eyes and the gold medal draped around his neck.

“I didn’t think that those names would be mentioned like that,” he said after his one-shot victory over hard-luck Dustin Johnson and hard-charging Louis Oosthuizen.

“That’s a piece of golf history, and as a golf historian, that’s very special and it gives me goose bumps.

It’s amazing. And it gets better every week with our team. Those names are the greatest that have ever played the game, and I don’t consider myself there.

“But I’m certainly off to the right start in order to make an impact on the history of this game.”

When Spieth gets to Scotland this time, he’ll face massive pressure as he pursues something none of those historic names ever won: the Grand Slam.

“I’m just focused on the claret jug now,” he said. “The Grand Slam is something that I never could really fathom somebody doing, considering I watched Tiger win when he was winning whatever percentage of the majors he played in. And he won the Tiger Slam, but he never won the four in one year. And I figured if anybody was going to do it, it would be him, which he still can.”

For all major champions, it takes time for the magnitude to sink in.

This might take even longer considering how it ended.
