Tech baseball reaches Omaha

By MCKENZI MORRIS Editor-in-Chief

For Tim Tadlock and his crew, a new standard has been set.

Since being hired in 2013, the head coach for the Texas Tech baseball team has taken the Red Raiders to the College World series three times. In just six seasons, he has made Omaha the expectation for his squads.

Tech finished the season at 45-20, the second year in a row the team reached 45 wins.

The trip to Omaha started on a high note for Tech. For the first time in program history, the Red Raiders started the College World Series with a win.

They beat Florida, 6-3, to move into the winner’s bracket. A loss to Arkansas moved Tech into an elimination game against Florida. The Gators claimed

the rematch with a 9-6 victory, ending Tech’s season.

“I like to thank everybody associated with Texas Tech baseball, everybody associated with the College World Series, it’s always a lot of fun,” Tadlock said after the loss to Florida. “Really proud of our team. Really proud of the way they competed. I wish it could have lasted a little longer.”

Before the season started, Tech earned top five rankings in multiple preseason polls. With a deep bullpen and offensive stars, the Red Raiders were primed to get back to the College World Series. However, things quickly shifted with preseason All-American pitcher Steven Gingery tore his UCL just a few innings into his first start of the season.

Big 12 has strong showing in 2018 NBA Draft with six selections

By AUSTIN WATTS Managing Editor

After a season where four Big 12 teams made it to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament, the Big 12 Conference had a similar strong showing in the 2018 NBA Draft, with a total of six players selected in Thursday night’s draft.

The first player off the board from the Big 12 Conference was Oklahoma’s Trae Young, who was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks fifth overall, but was included in a deal with the Atlanta Hawks for the third overall pick, which was Real Madrid’s Luka Doncic. The Hawks selected Young with the intention of modeling his surrounding cast after the Warriors famous 2015 lineup, which featured MVP

Steph Curry surrounded by AllStar Klay Thompson and DPOY Draymond Green. Young’s ability to shoot the three was heavily praised by some scouts in his lone year of college, while others doubted his efficiency and how the small point guard will handle bigger opponents in the NBA. Regardless of Young’s projected ability, the young point guard has already proven he can carry a team to the postseason, as his 5.7 win shares was among some of the highest in the league, and helped OU to a NCAA Tournament appearance, according to Basketball Reference website.

Young’s biggest struggle in the transition to the NBA will be controlling his shooting. Young shot 10.3 three-pointers per game in

college, and with longer quarters the young point guard could easily exceed those numbers in the NBA. Without some self-control when he decides to take shots, the young PG might see his shots fail to fall and his confidence drop.

The next highest Big 12 player selected in the draft was Texas freshman center Mo Bamba, taken just one pick after Young at sixth overall by the Orlando Magic. The selection of Bamba was a slightly confusing pick to analyze, as he joins an already crowded rotation at center for the Magic. Regardless, Bamba has the most upside of any center on the Magic roster, and is already being pegged as an early candidate for an eventual DPOY from this class. Bamba’s

wingspan of 7-foot-10, which is already the biggest in the NBA, wowed fans and scouts alike, with the young big man seen as a potentially dominant center.

Despite his high billing, Bamba was the fourth big man selected in the draft, with his lack of pure offensive talent causing him to tumble a bit further than projected. However, some scouts see potential in Bamba’s shot, saying that the big man has a shot to adapt to the slightly farther NBA’s three-point with good coaching. Time will tell if Bamba can adapt and improve offensively, but if the young big man can avoid injury, he should have a legitimate shot to be a great defender for the Magic.

After conference rivals Young

and Bamba went in the top 10, the next highest Big 12 player drafted was Texas Tech’s own Zhaire Smith, who was selected 16th overall by the Phoenix Suns. However, just like Young, Smith was immediately traded for another player in the draft, as the Philadelphia 76ers acquired Smith and Miami’s 2021 first round pick from the Suns for 10th overall selection Mikal Bridges. The move was quickly considered a steal for the 76ers, with Smith regarded as the team’s second favorite player in their range, behind Bridges. The 2021 first rounder is also a highly valuable pick, as that will be the first rumored year to abandon the “one-and-done” rule, which could lead to an influx of talent in that year’s draft.

Tech conducting investigation into ‘frat chat’ messages

By MCKENZI MORRIS Editor-in-Chief

Texas Tech has launched a formal investigation regarding the racially charged messages posted on social media by students.

The messages were screenshots from a GroupMe titled “Frat Chat.” The conversation focused on the topic of undocumented immigrants and how the students in the group messages believed the government should handle them. The screenshots were posted on Twitter Thursday, June 21, by @TechStudents1, an anonymous profile that was taken down the next day.

“I’m telling you build a wall, and the us govt. can sell permits for legal hunting on the border and we can make a sport of this, can be a new tax rev-

enue stream for the govt.,” one of the messages, sent by the pseudonym “The cocaine cowboy,” read. “The us govt would be making money to stop illegals instead of spending it, win win for everyone.”

Tech quickly released a statement on its official Twitter page that said the messages do not reflect Tech of the members of the Tech community.

“Messages shared on social media tonight are abhorrent and strongly condemned. University officials are investigating this matter,” the official Texas Tech account tweeted on Thursday night. “Texas Tech is proud of the diversity that makes up our community.

These insensitive and racially charged messages do not reflect our core values.”

The student who sent

those messages was discovered to be Kyle Mitchell, president of the Texas Tech Interfraternity Council. Mitchell resigned from his position with IFC and released an apology on his Twitter page on Friday, June 22.

“I now recognize that the comments I made on GroupMe were egregious, disgusting and lacked morality. For that, I am deeply sorry, and want to extended my sincerest apologies to all those who have been hurt by my comments, both within and outside of the Texas Tech community,” Mitchell wrote. “I cannot take back what I said, as the damage and hurt to others has already occurred. But please know that I will continue to own my mistakes and learn from this moment.”

Tech IFC Vice President

Ethan Louis Smith posted a statement on the organization’s Twitter Thursday night, stating that the messages don’t reflect the views of IFC or Tech.

“Today on Thursday, June 21st the Texas Tech Interfraternity Council was made aware of a student discussion shared on social media involving a member of the IFC community. The words and ideas expressed in these messages do not represent the ideals and values of the IFC and Texas Tech University. This reprehensible language has no place in within our organizations, school, or society,” Smith said in the statement on Twitter.

On Friday, June 22, Tech hosted a press conference with Carol A. Sumner, vice president of the Division of

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and Matthew Gregory, dean of students. Both parties stressed that the messages sent by Tech students do not reflect the views of Tech and they are working to address the situation.

“Unfortunately, I’m here for something that has troubled out student population greatly,” Gregory said in his opening statement. “I have seen and been following the thread on social media that I’m sure all of you are aware of, that was depicting some hateful comments that were made by a member of our student community.”

Tech is a place focused on diversity, Sumner said, and it is imperative to Tech officials that people know the messages sent

by Mitchell and the other members of the “Frat Chat” are not the beliefs of every-

one at the university.

“This is a situation where these students do not represent the greater Texas Tech University community.

They do not represent our students, our faculty, our staff, our alumni or our community members,” Sumner said. “And beyond speech there is action, and it’s recognizing that it’s important that we reflect by doing, in addition to saying, which is why we are here today. We want it to be explicitly clear that as a community we will stand together, and we are a better community because of who is here, and we will work towards that end.”

Both Tech IFC and the university are conducting investigations into the “Frat Chat” messages and looking into what actions to take moving forward. @McKenziMorrisDT

Alamo Drafthouse honors PBS, Mister Rogers with donation of ticket sales Throughout the month of June, Alamo Drafthouse will honor the new Mister Rogers documentary ‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor?’ by donating $1 from each ticket sold to local PBS affiliate, KTTZ-TV. Lubbock’s Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, that is located at 120 W. Loop 289,

began airing the documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?’ on June 21.

Directed by Morgan Neville the documentary takes an in-depth look at a footage and interviews to tell the story of Fred McFeely Rogers and his life work that lead to Mister Rogers’

Neighborhood, according to Alamo Drafthouse.

Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was a children’s television series that aired on PBS from 1968 to 2001, the show was a visit from Mister Rogers where he created a calm, safe place for children to learn about themselves,

others, and the world around them, according to PBS. “I give an expression of care every day to each child, to help him realize that he is unique,” said Rogers in a 1969 appearance before a Senate committee to defend federal funding for public broadcasting. “I end the program by

saying, ‘You’ve made this day a special day, by just you being you. There’s no person in the whole world like you, and I like you, just the way you are.’

And I feel that if we in public television can only make it clear that feelings are mentionable and manageable, we will have done a great service

for mental health.”

This campaign is part of a six-year program adopted by Alamo Drafthouse, named the Drafthouse Recommends program, that encourages viewing of great films in large volume before the awards craze takes place. @NathanNeedhamDT

Northern California wildfires prompt thousands to flee homes SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Hundreds of Northern California homes and businesses were threatened Monday after wind-driven wildfires broke out over the weekend, forcing thousands of residents to flee their homes throughout rural regions north of San Francisco.

The biggest fires continued to grow but there were no reports of injuries or deaths, California’s Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.

About 3,000 residents evacuated homes in Lake County. A wildfire there that was not contained and destroyed at least 22 homes and buildings, the

agency reported.

Fire Battalion Chief Jonathan Cox said more than 230 firefighters using helicopters, bulldozers and other equipment were battling the Lake County fire in a rugged area that made it difficult to get equipment close.

“It’s kind of the worst possible combination,” Cox said.

California Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in Lake County, enabling it to receive more state resources to fight the fire and for recovery afterward.

The rural region was hit hard in 2015 by a fire that killed four people and destroyed 2,000 buildings.

Terri Gonsalves, 55, evac-

uated her home around midnight Sunday, putting four goats into her truck. She had been monitoring another fire that appeared to be moving away, but then she looked out her back window and saw a big hill aflame.

“Holy cow, it’s right here,” she said she thought. “I’m outta here.”

She is staying with her daughter in nearby Middletown. “I think we’re all just so traumatized and overwhelmed with all these fires year after year, this whole community is at a breaking point,” she said, but added, “When this stuff happens, we rally around each other.”

Authorities also ordered residents to evacuate in Tehama County, where two wildfires were burning.

Multiple homes and businesses in the city of Red Bluff were destroyed.

A Red Bluff police officer helping residents evacuate lost his home to the smaller wildfire, authorities said. Red Bluff Police Lt. Matt Hansen said about $10,000 in cash along with furniture and clothing has been donated to the family as they search for a rental home.

Residents also fled a wildfire in Shasta County.

No cause has been determined for any of the fires.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor’s Note: These Letters to the Editor are responses to the recent “Frat Chat” messages that surfaced on social media. The DT asked people to send in their thoughts and reactions through our social media pages on Friday, June 22. These letters were written and submitted by members of the Texas Tech community and are their views. These letters do not represent the views of The DT or Texas Tech.

Students need training, not expulsion While GroupMe could be loosely classified as a social media platform and the content of the conversation is absolutely reprehensible, it wasn’t technically on a public platform. Private and public conversations shouldn’t be treated as equal.

However, the mention of buried bodies should absolutely be looked in to.

The students involved

Mateus Grifo is a Texas Tech student

with the “Frat Chat” should not be expelled as this would be a serious encroachment on their First Amendment rights.

However, an investigation being launched into the previously mentioned topic of buried bodies seems absolutely necessary.

Expelling students for

racially insensitive views will not send them out into the world as more enlightened individuals or offer them an opportunity to reflect on the impact of what they’ve done and how it affects orders.

I believe a more effective solution would be requiring them to complete diversity training and community service with racially diverse demographics.

Action lies in hands of students It is due time that we recognize as a collective that, indeed, this is a part of the fabric of the school.

We cannot passively say this type of attitude toward other human beings is unique and exclusive to the student body.

This was a Texas Tech student who was the leader of a large student organization that, within its constituency, represents a body of students harmed by this individual’s comments.

There are minority students everywhere on this

campus that have had to live with the reality of unchecked cruelty and aggression imbued with racism, homophobia, classism and all other forms of conceivable hatred. This kind of attitude does not only appear in the private chatrooms of a select few.

This is felt in classrooms, hallways, dorms, on the sidewalks and every other inch of this campus.

Students with the power

to say and do something to stop this kind of hatred are popping in their earbuds and averting their eyes.

While it is the duty of the university to respond, the duty also lies with every single person who can act within an identity of power.

We have to put in the effort and the empathy to stop this type of action from continuing as soon as it starts and to isolate and deconstruct the sentiments that drive those behaviors.

We let this happen, we can end it.

Colombia coca production at record high BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — The amount of land where peasants and drug traffickers harvest the plant used to make cocaine has surged to a record high in Colombia, a White House report said Monday, a boom that could further test historically close relations with the United States.

Annual data for 2017 says coca cultivation rose 11 percent to 209,000 hectares (516,450 acres), a level unseen in more than two decades of record keeping and $10 billion in U.S. counternarcotics work. Estimated cocaine production increased 19 percent to 921 metric tons.

“President Trump’s message to Colombia is clear: The record growth in cocaine production must be reversed,” said Jim Carroll, deputy director for the drug policy office.

Coca production in Colombia has been steadily increasing since 2013, when negotiations with the now demobilized Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia got underway. The FARC

had been one of Colombia’s biggest drug trafficking organizations, and many had hoped after the signing of the peace accord in 2016 that the country would put an end to the scourge for good.

Instead, new illegal armed groups have moved into the desolate jungle previously controlled by the rebel band and taken control of drug trafficking routes. Parts of the peace accord dedicated to eradicating coca and providing poor Colombians who make a living growing coca with a viable alternative also have struggled to get off the ground.

Combined with Colombia’s decision to end aerial spraying of herbicides on illicit crops in 2015 over health concerns, the amount of coca in the countryside continues to grow.

President-elect Ivan Duque suggested during his campaign that he might bring back aerial spraying, though he provided no details on what a new program might look like. Colombia is also moving forward with plans to

spray crops with drones that can target coca plants from a shorter distance and with greater precision than the planes that previously spread chemicals from high overhead.

“Whether he’s just going to spray everybody and forget them or follow the blueprint of the peace accord, it’s going to be hard,” said Adam Isacson of the Washington Office on Latin America think tank.

President Donald Trump threatened to decertify Colombia last year as a partner in the war on drugs if it failed to reverse the surge in production. At the time, Colombia had set a goal of eradicating 100,000 hectares (247,105 acres) through equal parts of forced and voluntary eradication. Colombia met its forced eradication goal but came up woefully short in voluntary substitution of other crops.

Despite the eradication efforts, coca production still climbed, though last year’s jump was less than the South American nation has seen in recent years.

Buzz Aldrin sues his children over finances ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Apollo 11 moonwalker Buzz Aldrin is suing two of his children and a former business manager, accusing them of misusing his credit cards, transferring money from an account and slandering him by saying he has dementia.

Aldrin’s lawsuit filed earlier this month in a Florida state court came a week after his children, Andrew and Janice, filed a petition claiming their father was suffering from memory loss, delusions, paranoia and confusion. They asked for the court to name them his legal guardians, saying Aldrin was associating with new friends who were trying to alienate Aldrin from his family and that he had been spending his assets at “an alarming rate.”

Court-appointed mental health experts planned to evaluate Aldrin in Florida

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Trump administration on Monday lost its attempt to throw out a lawsuit challenging its decision to stop extending temporary legal status to immigrants from four countries.

U.S. Judge Edward Chen ruled that courts have the authority to review the lawsuit seeking to reinstate temporary protected status for people from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua and Sudan. The suit plausibly alleges President Donald Trump made statements that could be construed as

NEW YORK (AP) — Over 12,000 files seized from President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, cannot be turned over to prosecutors probing Cohen’s business interests because they are subject to attorney-client privilege, his lawyers said Monday.

The lawyers, Todd Harrison and Stephen Ryan, told a federal judge in a letter that they had finished reviewing more than 4 million electronic and paper files taken in the April 9 raid on their client’s home and business.

The search covered 13 mobile devices and iPads, hard-copy documents and 20 external hard drives,

Lawyers for Trump and the Trump Organization also have participated in the review.

Lawyers for the Trump Organization notified Wood on Saturday that they need two weeks beyond a Wednesday deadline set by the judge to conclude their review.

“Specifically, defendant Andrew Aldrin, as trustee, does not inform plaintiff of pending or future business transactions, removes large sums of monies from plaintiffs accounts, and continues to represent plaintiff in business and social capacities despite plaintiff ’s repeated requests for such representations to be terminated,” the lawsuit said.

Aldrin accused his daughter, Janice, in the lawsuit of not acting in his financial interests and conspiracy, and he accused his former manager, Christina Korp, of fraud, exploitation of the elderly and unjust enrichment.

In April, the 88-yearold Aldrin underwent his own evaluation conducted by a geriatric psychiatrist at UCLA, who said Aldrin scored “superior to normal” for his age on tests.

Men’s Tennis lands junior transfer Parker Wynn The Texas Tech’s men’s tennis team has signed junior Parker Wynn on an Athletic Scholarship Agreement for the next two seasons, according to a Tech Athletics release.

Wynn, a native Texan from North Richland Hills, will join the men’s tennis team as a junior for the 2018-19 season. Wynn returns to Texas from Kentucky where he played the last two seasons for the

University of Louisville, making two appearances in the NCAA Doubles Championship and earned AllACC third team honors, according to the Louisville Cardinals website.

“Our coaching staff and our program are super excited to get a player and a person like Parker,” Tech coach Brett Masi said, according to the release. “After not being able to land

him in the recruiting process the first time around two years ago, we couldn’t let this get past us again.

Parker is truly a hardcore Red Raider, and that’s going to have a big impact with our team. I can’t wait to get him to campus with our team this fall.”

Over the last two seasons Wynn has spent nine weeks on the Intercollegiate Tennis Association

3 Red Raiders to play in Summer League

By AUSTIN WATTS Managing Editor

After the conclusion of the 2018 NBA Draft, three Red Raiders are slated to partake in the 2018 NBA Summer League, with one draftee and two postdraft invites.

Zhaire Smith was the lone draftee for Texas Tech, as he was selected 16th overall by the Phoenix Suns, before being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. Smith will likely get a lot of minutes as the 76ers attempt to evaluate how ready he is to see the court in his first season in the NBA. Unlike Smith, the other two Red Raiders to sign with an NBA team were not drafted, instead signing with teams immediately following the draft.

Tech seniors Keenan Evans and Zach Smith both received Summer League invites, and will look to

make a name for themselves against NBA talent.

Evans signed with the Golden State Warriors to compete on their Summer League team, and will have legit shot of making the team if he c a n i m p r e s s t h e Wa rriors. Golden State has plenty of All-Star talent on their roster, but the downside to doing so is that a team has to fill out the rest of the roster with veteran minimums and cheap youth contracts. If Evans can make a name for himself over the summer, he may have a shot at making Golden State’s, or another team’s, finalized 15-man roster when the season starts.

Like Evans, Zach Smith will be competing for a spot on an NBA team, but instead he will be apart of the Atlanta Hawks’ summer team.

The Hawks are in a vastly different situation than

the Warriors, as they are searching for NBA level talent to contribute to their roster, seeing as the team posted just 24 wins over the 82-game season. Smith’s biggest flaw in his game is that the forward showed little ability to contribute to perimeter offense, with Smith scoring most of his points within the paints, with the odd midrange or three-pointer. If Smith can develop his game further and show some more versatile scoring ability, he may be able to make the Hawks roster.

Summer League games start on Saturday, July 7, with a full set of 82-games scheduled for the 10 day league. Each team will play a minimum of five games, before seeding into a tournament bracket and playing to a championship game on July 17, according to ESPN. @AustinWattsDT

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Despite the loss of one of Tech’s star players, the team kept looking forward and was determined to fulfill the expectations the country set for the team. The Red Raiders went on a 14-game win streak to start the season, outscoring opponents 125-35.

singles rankings, reaching No. 90 twice in 2018.

With 67 singles and 60 doubles victories with the Cardinals, Wynn, climbed as high as No. 6 in the ITA rankings for the 2018 doubles match season, according to the release.

“Playing for Texas Tech has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid,” Wynn said, according to the release. “Both of my parents

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Regardless, Smith will look to immediately contribute to one of the better defensive teams in the league. With 2016 first overall pick Ben Simmons starting at point guard, and 2014 third overall pick Joel Embiid at center, the 76ers have one of the more athletic and physical imposing lineups in the league. With Smith’s extreme athleticism, he should compete with 2017 first overall pick Markelle Fultz for a starting or rotational role at the shooting guard position.

Smith’s talent was on full display during the NCAA Tournament, as the 6-foot-3 guard had impressive performances against Purdue, Florida and Stephen F. Austin, scoring in double digits in all three games and

are Red Raiders, and my Dad played on the football team. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be a part of something I’ve wanted to be a part of since I was young when searching for schools a second time around. I feel like Coach Masi and Coach Whitehead can help me take my game to the next level as a player. I hope I can leave a big impact on the program during these

next two seasons.”

The Red Raiders will look to improve on last season’s finish as Masi enters his fourth season as head coach. Masi carries a 60-32 record in his first three seasons at Tech and has led the team to two NCAA Tournament appearances, securing six of the program’s nine wins over ITA Top 10 opponents.

helping hold each team under 70 points. Smith had 5.6 win shares in his freshman season as the second option on an Elite Eight caliber-team, which helps illustrate how effective his defense and offense was.

The next three Big 12 players selected all were picked in the second round, with all three being seniors from Big 12 teams that made the Sweet 16. West Virginia senior Jevon Carter was taken 32nd overall by the Memphis Grizzlies. Carter ’s skillset somewhat emulates the skillset of Grizzlies start Mike Conley, and Carter should see minute to help relieve the 30-year old vet coming off an achilles injury.

The next two players selected were both seniors from Kansas, with Devonte Graham selected 34th overall by

the Hawks and traded to the Charlotte Hornets, followed by Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk at pick 47 to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Both players were highly influential in Kansas winning the last four Big 12 regular season titles to extend the streak to 14 straight titles.

With six players selected in the draft, the Big 12 will continue to have a strong presence in the league. However, with all three of the selected first rounders being true “one-and-done” players, the impending rule change could alter the Big 12 talent levels in the future. Regardless, schools like Kansas and texas will continue to crank out NBA talent each season, with teams like Texas Tech and West Virginia looking to join that list.

During postseason play, several Red Raiders were se-

lected in the 2018 MLB FirstYear Player Draft. A program high 11 players were drafted, highlighted by sophomore outfielder Grant Little who was selected 74th overall by the San Diego Padres. He was the highest drafted Tech players since 2012.

leave Tech and pursue their professional careers, including Little and pitchers Ryan Shetter and Ty Harpenau.

Other notable juniors were drafted this year, including pitchers Davis Martin and Gingery, but as of Monday morning they have not announced whether they will stay in Lubbock or go pro.

Tech will also lose five seniors to graduation.

Tadlock said the team and coaching staff believes in every one of their guys and some of them need more time to grow and improve before they reach their full potential.

“If we’re guilty of believing in those guys and believing that they’re going to get better, that’s just what we’re going to be guilty of, because we’re going to believe in them,” Tadlock said.

Despite losing several members of the starting lineup and the bullpen, Tadlock said he thinks the incoming recruiting classes will make up for the loss and get the Red Raiders back to Omaha next year.

“We’ve got some really good players. Got some good players coming. And obviously always excited about that,” Tadlock said.

“And that’s whether you’re playing for the National Championship or not, you’re excited -- you two guys especially know, you know what’s there in ‘18, ‘19 and getting close to the ‘20 class. It’s going to be fun.” @McKenziMorrisDT
