Aquatic Center keeps campus pools clean for public

By COURTNEY WINGATE Staff Writer

Community swimming pools are opening up all across the country as summer sets in. Whether hanging out pool side or having fun at a water park, pools are the best way to cool down in the summer heat.

This year however, the Center for Disease Control said “pools are gross.”

E v e r y y e a r, s e r i o u s health and safety violations force thousands of public pools, hot tubs and water playgrounds to close, according to CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports.

This may cause a concern to individuals who go to one of the Texas Tech Aquatic Center ’s pools.

However, Kevin Pearson, assistant director of Tech’s Aquatics Center, said Tech’s different pools will not fall under the CDC’s quote.

Tech has the student leisure pool, which includes the lazy river, and the indoor aquatics center. Both of these pools are open to students with their IDs. “We use an automated system that distributes pool chemicals into the water,” Pearson said. “We also check the waters four times a day during every shift manually to make sure the at that the system is not off.”

With Tech having the largest college leisure pool in the nation, according to their website, there is a lot of water to be cleaned. However, Pearson said he also uses an online chart to record any changes to the system and chemical levels. This way, he said if something was to change they would have a better understanding of why it happened.

Chemicals released into water maybe scary to some, but with chlorine, pool shock, and other products, Pearson said the aquatics center will keep the pool clean and safe to the public. “ Wi t h u s u a l c h e m i cals, pool walls should be brushed three times a week and the filter back washed once a week,” Lane Baker, Manger of Blue Lagoon Pool Supplies said. “The amount of pool chemicals used all depends on the size of the pool. But the pH should always be between 7.2-7.8 pH and the Chlorine level should be between two-four.”

With five different pools and over 1,200,000 gallons of water, Pearson said Tech makes sure everything is up to par, even if there is an accident. If there were to be an accidental fecal release, Pearson said they would shut the pool down immediately.

“2.0 Chlorine levels will kill any type bacteria com-

The Texas Tech Aquatics Center controls all of the pools on campus, including the leisure pool. All of these pools use 1,200,000 gallons of water according to assistant director Kevin Pearson. The pool is open until 8 p.m. during the week and is free to students with their IDs. ing off the material. But we still clean everything up and put shock into the water to kill anything that may not be dead,” Pearson said. “We will then wait at least 20-30 minutes before

opening the pool back up.”

Keeping the water safe for everyone to enjoy is a priority for Tech Pearson said. If not attending Tech’s aquatic facilities, the CDC suggests people do

their own inspection of the water. Their infographic “Check Out Healthy and Safe Swimming” says to check for the right pH and chlorine levels and to see if the drain at the bottom of

the deep end is visible.

If people have questions about the cleanliness of pools at Tech, they should contact the Aquatics Center. @DailyToreador

This week Lubbock’s Electric Utility Board voted to implement changes to bidding and pricing information for customers of Lubbock Power and Light.

Once convened, the 10-member board voted on Tuesday to increase the rates for all customers of LP&L beginning Oct. 1, 2016, according to the board’s meeting agenda.

According to the approved proposed budget for 2016 and 2017, the 5.75 percent base rate increase was passed in the meeting.

This is for a three-year capitol investment on cur-

rent and upcoming projects for LP&L, according to the budget.

The increase is expected to bring in nearly $3.5 million to fund projects that include implementing a new billing system and hiring planners and engineers for a transmission upgrade that is expected to come in 2019, according to the budget.

The new budget will also help to complete or close 24 current projects that total nearly $43.6 million such as the Indiana Avenue underground cable replacement, installation of

a Milwaukee Avenue autotransformer and Tie Line transformer replacement, according to the agenda.

This year’s budget will total approximately $235 million, down $6 million from the 2015-2016 budget, according to the agenda.

There will also be more funding for implementation of more underground power lines, according to the agenda.

Q&A

Cody Canada and The Departed stop in Lubbock

By MCKENZI MORRIS Editor-in-Chief

Touring to promote their new album “HippieLovePunk,” Cody Canada and The Departed will play in Lubbock at Charley B’s tonight.

Mike McClure will also be playing with the band. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the concert is set to begin at 10 p.m. Tickets are available at the door and online at outhousetickets.com.

Canada, former front man for Cross Canadian Ragweed, formed his new band after Cross Canadian Ragweed decided to part ways in 2010 he said. Jeremy Plato, bass player for Cross Canadian Ragweed and The Departed, helped Canada start the new band.

The departed got their name because the four original members all came from other bands, Canada said.

However, it took a while for Canada and Plato to find two band mates that would stick, but he said once they got the kinks worked out, they found two more guys they knew would stay with the band forever.

With both bands, Canada has played several different shows in Lubbock and he said every time he comes to town it is like a homecoming of sorts because he gets a chance to visit with old friends.

Canada took time to answer some questions about his musical background and his latest album. Here are some of his answers: Q: When did you first get into music?

A: “I saw an early, awesome stripped down version of George Strait in 1980 when I was 4 years old and that changed the whole game for me. It made me want to listen to and pursue music even though I was young.”

Q: What was the first band you played in?

A: “The first band I ever played in was Mike

(McClure)’s band, The Great Divide. I played with those guys for a couple months but the audition didn’t work out in my favor, which was good.

Mike told me if I got a band together he would help me, so I went and formed Cross Canadian Ragweed.”

(Jeremy and I) are going to play until our bodies can’t do it anymore.

CODY CANADA SINGER-SONGWRITER Q: What is the feeling like when you take the stage now compared to when you first started?

A: “It’s still the same, that’s the good thing about it. I’ve never become jaded towards the good time. When people aren’t listening and it’s just a big talkfest that’s when it gets discouraging, but when people are into it and you own the room and everybody’s locked in together, there’s nothing that beats it.”

Q: What led to the decision to break out on your own after Cross Canadian Ragweed broke up?

A: “I wasn’t done, I’ll never be done. There were two guys in Ragweed that were done playing and they wanted to go home – they were tired of the road. Jeremy and I weren’t. We’re lifers as they call it, we’ll be doing it just like Neil Young.

He’ll play 300 capacity bars then he’ll go the next night and play for 20,000 people because he owns it.

He owns his own life and the road and he knows how to do it, so if he wants to play for 500 people he’ll do it. If he wants to play for 20 people he’ll do it and that’s how Jeremy and I are.

We’re going to play until our bodies can’t do it any-

more. Honestly the band broke up over the phone and two weeks later we were already in the office practicing with the new guys. We still had six months with (Cross Canadian Ragweed) left, but once the band played its last show in Chicago, it was a month later we kicked it off again in New Braunfels.

We just weren’t done. I don’t think we ever will be.”

Q: What has the experience been like with this band, especially compared to Cross Canadian Ragweed?

A: “With this band, I get to call the shots again with the way the band is now. At the beginning of this band I didn’t and I didn’t like that because what is boils down to is it’s my opinions in the songs and we’re going to record them the way I want to do it. That’s not being cocky, that’s just being in control of your art. You don’t need anybody to tell you how to do it. So now, it’s just like Ragweed was.”

Q: What is the writing process like for you?

A: “It really depends on what is happening. I’m kind of a hands-on writer. If I can feel it and touch it, I’ll write it but if I can’t then I’ll leave it alone. So really if something happens and it triggers an emotion, I go with it.”

Q: What was it like work-

When people are into (the show) and you own the room and everybody’s locked in together, there’s nothing that beats it.

CODY CANADA SINGER-SONGWRITER ing on “HippieLovePunk”?

A: “It was good. We were right in the thick of Austin downtown so you could go in there and work for a couple of hours and get out and clear

But it was Willie Nelson’s studio, which was awesome.

It has a good, old vibe to it and all the gear that was in there was from years past.

There wasn’t anything digital, it was all old two vamps and old pianos and stuff like that, so it was a good experience. We kind of did it old school.”

Q: Is this album different than anything you’ve done before?

A: “This album really goes back to what I did in the past. This was the first record with The Departed that I really felt like ok, I’m being myself again, I’m not trying to cater to other folks, to cater to somebody in the band, to cater to somebody in radio, I’m just gonna do it the way I do it hopefully it works. If it works for me I don’t really care. That sounds so cocky, but if it feels good to the person writing and

performing it, then that’s just how it should be you know.”

Q: What is the response you’ve gotten from the fans about the new album?

A: “This is the best response we’ve gotten. We’ve sold the most and a lot of folks say the material is back to what brought them in in the first place. It’s lyrics that mean something and music with a groove, so it’s been the best response.

That’s what I’m trying to do right now is write tunes the way I used to and the way I did for this record.”

Q: What is your favorite part about being on the road and touring with the band?

A: “It’s just a good time really. Especially when we go way out of Texas, it’s the people that we’ve met throughout the years that we get to see once a year maybe, once every two years.

It’s just getting to travel and see things. Once we get into

the pocket on the road where we’re not playing two nights then going home, that’s when it gets fun. The back lounge of the bus becomes a jam room where there is guitars and basses and everybody’s just singing and writing together and stuff like that.”

Q: As you get ready to play in Lubbock, do you have any special memories about playing here in the past?

A: “In Lubbock there’s a lot really. I think the one that comes to mind is the first time we played there.

We couldn’t even get anybody to look at us because they heard we were from Oklahoma. Once we told the crowd ‘look, this isn’t about football or kind of sports, this is about music and having a good time.’ The next time we came back we had a sold out show and it’s just been great there ever since.” @DailyToreador

Obama immigration plan blocked by Supreme Court tie WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court deadlocked Thursday on President Barack Obama’s immigration plan that sought to shield millions living in the U.S. illegally from deportation, effectively killing the plan for the rest of his presidency.

The outcome underscores

that the direction of U.S. immigration policy will be determined in large part by this fall’s presidential election, a campaign in which immigration already has played an outsized role.

Jury finds Led Zeppelin did not steal riff LOS ANGELES (AP) — Led Zeppelin did not steal a riff from an obscure 1960s instrumental tune to use for the introduction of its classic rock anthem “Stairway to Heaven,” a federal court jury decided Thursday.

The verdict in Los Angeles settles a point that music fans have debated for decades but didn’t find its way to court until two years ago, when the trustee for the late Randy Craig Wolfe filed a copyright lawsuit.

The trust claimed that Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page lifted a passage that Wolfe, better known as Randy California, wrote for “Taurus,” a short work he recorded with his band Spirit in 1968.

Page and singer Robert Plant showed little emotion as the verdict was read then hugged their lawyers.

Jurors found the trust had cleared a few hurdles, including that Page and Plant had “access” to “Taurus,” meaning they would have been familiar with it.

Trust attorney Francis Malofiy said he was sad and disappointed by the jury’s decision.

No bill, no break step in the right direction The House Democratic sit-in that started Wednesday afternoon was something not many people, myself included, expected to happen.

The nine-hour affair, which ended after Speaker of the House Paul Ryan called a vote for an appropriations bill then adjourned the House until July 5 according to the New York Times, is something the people should not take lightly.

While the event may not have been as successful as the Democratic Party wanted it to be, I consider it a success for our government. For the first time in a while, rather than sitting around and just ignoring the controversial topics weighing on the nation, a party decided to push the

boundaries and do something.

More than anything though, they were able to catch the people’s attention and draw them in. Throughout the day and into the early hours of Thursday morning, all eyes were focused on the House and what was going to happen. Protesters of all political affiliations gathered outside the capitol building, live streams from inside the chambers were watched attentively and I would be willing to bet that a

few insightful conversations were had throughout the day that followed.

Gun control and the legislation surrounding it has been one of the most controversial political issues in recent history, but the government still refuses to go anywhere near it. With the recent mass shooting in Orlando and the upcoming presidential election, people are starting to voice their opinions more and more, but the government still seems like they want nothing to do with it.

That is not how a government should be run. They should not be allowed to sit there while their country and the people they are supposed to speak for beg for

But for once we are seeing action. No more talking, no more we can worry about that later. A group of political leaders finally took a stand

For the first time in a while, rather than sitting around and just ignoring the controversial topics weighing on the nation, a party decided to push the boundaries and take action. and I could not be happier.

Maybe now when the House reconvenes after the

holiday, the government will actually have a conversation about what the people want and what would be best for the United States moving forward.

A lot of that will fall to the Speaker of the House though. Calling a vote in the middle of the night then telling everyone to go home does nothing. It says that you do not want to deal with it and would rather leave the nation in an uproar than let the people speak. By the time July 5 rolls around Ryan needs to be prepared to let the Democrats have the floor and to let everyone talk about the issues.

The Democratic party took a huge step in pushing the envelope and getting the

government to listen to them.

Whether you agree with their policies, their idea or ever the sit-in, surely you would agree that something has to be done to force the government to listed to the people and take action.

Now, more people are tuned in to what the House is doing than ever. People care about what is going on and want the government to start making some decisions.

We have the Democrats’ sit-in to thank for that.

So no matter what party you identify with and what your stance on gun control is, you should be proud that your government is starting to speak up and take action.

I know I am. @McKenziMorrisDT

Texas affirmative action plans Arkansas court upholds execusurvives Supreme Court review tion protocol, drug secrecy law WASHINGTON (AP) — In a major victory for affirmative action, a divided Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the University of Texas admissions program that takes account of race.

The justices voted in favor of the Texas program by a 4-3 vote, an outcome that was dramatically altered by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, who opposed affirmative action.

The university considers race among many factors in admitting the last quarter of incoming freshmen classes.

Texas fills most of the freshman class by guaranteeing admission to students who graduate in the top 10 percent of their Texas high school class.

Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his majority opinion that the Texas plan complied with earlier court rulings allowing colleges to take account of race in pursuit of diversity on campus. “The university has thus met its burden of showing that the admissions policy it used ... was narrowly tailored,” Kennedy wrote.

The court’s three more con-

servative justices dissented, and Justice Samuel Alito read portions of his 51-page dissent, more than twice as long as Kennedy’s opinion, from the bench. “This is affirmative action gone wild,” Alito said.

The university “relies on a series of unsupported and noxious racial assumptions,” he said.

In a separate dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas repeated his view that the Constitution outlaws any use of race in higher education admissions.

Just seven justices participated in the decision since Scalia’s death in February.

Justice Elena Kagan sat out the case because she worked on it while serving in the Justice Department.

The high court ruled in the case of Abigail Fisher, a white Texan who was denied admission to the university’s flagship campus in Austin in 2008. Fisher claimed she was rejected while AfricanAmerican applicants with lower grades and test scores were admitted. The school said Fisher, who did not graduate in the top 10 percent of her

high school class, would not have been admitted with or without race as a factor. But officials did conditionally offer to allow her to transfer in as a sophomore if she maintained a 3.2 grade point average at another public college in Texas.

Instead, Fisher went to Louisiana State University, from which she graduated in 2012, and pursued her lawsuit. Fisher was recruited for the suit by Edward Blum, an opponent of racial preferences who has been remarkably successful in persuading the Supreme Court to hear cases challenging the use of race in education and politics. Blum was behind a major challenge to the landmark Voting Rights Act that resulted in the court eviscerating a key provision of the law, and he also led an unsuccessful challenge to states’ widespread practice of counting all their residents, not just those eligible to vote, in drawing legislative districts.

Justices heard Fisher’s case once before and issued an inconclusive ruling in 2013 that sent her case back to a lower court and set the stage for Thursday’s decision.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas can execute eight death row inmates, a split state Supreme Court ruled Thursday in upholding a state law that keeps information about its lethal injection drugs confidential.

It has only seven days, however, before one of the drugs needed for the threedrug protocol expires, and it isn’t clear when Arkansas will be able to resume its first executions since 2005.

Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge said she would request new execution dates once the stays are lifted on the eight inmate executions. For the stays to be lifted before the drugs expire, Rutledge must ask the court to expedite the certification process, which generally puts the ruling into effect 18 days after it is issued.

“I will notify the governor once the stays of executions have been lifted so that he may set execution dates. I know that victims’ families want to see justice carried out, and that is exactly what I will continue to work toward as Attorney General,” she wrote

“We are studying the decision and anticipate filing a petition for rehearing,” he said.

Three justices wrote full or partial dissents, including Associate Justice Robin Wynne, who wrote that he believed the inmates proved their claim that the law violated the state constitution’s prohibition on cruel or unusual punishment and that the secrecy requirements are unconstitutional. Justice Josephine Linker Hart wrote that the dismissal of the complaint was premature and that she would have ordered disclosure of the drug information.

In asking for the high court to overturn Pulaski County Circuit Court Judge Wendell Griffen’s December ruling that the secrecy provisions of the execution law are unconstitutional, attorneys for the state said at least five other courts have ruled that the three drugs used in Arkansas’ protocol are acceptable, including the sedative midazolam.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Oklahoma’s use of midazolam last year.

A group of death row inmates had argued that Arkansas’ execution secrecy law, which requires the state to conceal the maker, seller and other information about the drugs, could lead to cruel and unusual punishment and that the state reneged on a pledge to share information.

But the high court said in its 4-3 majority opinion that a lower court “erred in ruling that public access to the identity of the supplier of the three drugs (the Arkansas Department of Correction) has obtained would positively enhance the functioning of executions in Arkansas. As has been well documented, disclosing the information is actually detrimental to the process.”

Jeff Rosenzweig, an attorney representing the inmates, said he was disappointed with the court’s ruling.
