Tech professor studies burrowing owl habitats near U.S. wind farms

Achievements in agriculture promote progress at Tech

hether it be at a local, state or national level, Texas Tech continues to make strides in agriculture that allows the university to support West Texas and develop young leaders.

Even after hitting multiple milestones in the field of agriculture, the Tech community still strives to impact as many people and places as it can. The development of the Tech School of Veterinary Medicine, the agreement to establish a national cotton classing facility near campus and other efforts to foster future leaders in agriculture are just some of the ways the university has excelled in the field.

William Brown, dean of the Tech College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, said Tech is not just a prominent university in West Texas.

“We’re a major, national research university,” he said. “That has come over many years.”

The SVM is one agricultural achievement Brown said has contributed to Tech becoming a university of great stature. Because of the

results of the 86th Texas Legislative session, he said the SVM received $17 million in funding and Tech received an increase in operating dollars, which resulted from the increase in student credit hour generation, research funding and grant rewards.

In addition to the support from the Texas 86th Legislature, Brown said the Tech System has a great central administration that understands the importance of agriculture and the vet school.

“Seeking more funding, increasing the research that’s coming out of the university, increasing the expenditures on research activity,” Brown said regarding the work the System administration is doing for the SVM. “All of these activities they’ve been working on over the last five or six years have significantly increased the ranking of the university and then the stature.”

Along with the SVM benefitting the System and West Texas, Brown said CASNR has achieved a lot in recent years.

Having the top agricultural communications program in the nation, being highly

regarded in the meat science field and being involved in the production of cotton with the help of an advanced fiber polymer lab all are ways Brown said CASNR is continuing to excel in agriculture. He said CASNR also has caring faculty that are willing to guide the hardworking students in their career field.

“To some degree, we are focusing in areas where we feel like we have unmatched strength,” Brown said. “There are several of those areas.”

Despite the impact of the vet school and other CASNR achievements on the university, collaborations with national departments may also promote Tech’s footprint in agriculture.

Eric Hequet, department chair and professor in the Tech Department of Plant and Soil Science, said Tech’s agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service, which put a cotton classing facility near campus, is another university achievement in the field of agriculture.

Wind turbine farms are common in many places in the United States, as they provide energy for surrounding areas. But for one bird species, these farms may not provide a suitable environment.

Clint Boal, professor in the Texas Tech Department of Natural Resources Management, and his team of researchers are studying the effects of wind turbine farms on the behaviors of burrowing owls that inhabit nearby burrows, according to a Tech news release.

Whether it be in U.S. grasslands, farmlands or deserts, burrowing owls occupy ground burrows that other animals leave behind, according to the news release. Because the burrowing owl species has been experiencing longterm declines in population, the bird is on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s list of species of conservation concern and is considered a threatened species in Mexico and an endangered species in Canada.

Boal, who is also an assistant leader in the U.S. Geological Survey’s Texas Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, and the research team will monitor the burrowing owl’s movement in wind farms and in adjacent areas to try to protect the species, which is being threatened because of the expansion of urban and agricultural areas, according to the news release.

Because wind turbine farms are becoming popular in the South Plains, the need to study the turbine’s affects on burrowing owl habitats is important, according to the new release. To track the owls’ movement year-round, the research team will capture burrowing owls, which will be fitted with GPS transmitters, at the Reese Technology Center, located at 9801 N. Reese Blvd, and at the Pantex energy facility near Amarillo.

“It remains to be studied and understood how the species interact and are affected by wind-energy development in the Southern Great Plains,” Boal said regarding the study, which will be funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. “Ultimately, this study will allow us to better manage our wildlife resources as renewable energy @AdanRubioDT

Red Raiders contend in USA National Championships

By MAX HENGST Sports Editor

Nine Texas Tech track and field members participated in the USA Track and Field National Championships from Thursday, July 25, to Sunday, July 28, in Des Moines, Iowa to try and earn a spot on Team USA for the World Championships in the fall.

Junior hurdler Norman Grimes Jr. highlighted the Red Raiders with one of the best meets of his career. Grimes competed in the 400m hurdles on Thursday, where he ran a 50.20 to finish second in his heat, according to a Tech Athletics news release. The secondplace finish earned Grimes an automatic bid in the semi-final on Friday.

“I thought (Grimes) handled himself very well,” assistant coach Calvin Robinson said, according to the release. “He did just enough to advance without having to use a whole lot of energy. That is so important when you have to run three rounds at a meet like this.”

In the semi-final, Grimes ran a 49.43, making it the sixth time he dropped a sub50 time this season, according to the release.

Grimes’ sub-50 time earned him a spot in the final where he ran a 48.68. His time in the final set a new program record at Tech as well as set a new personal best time for the senior.

The only other time that Grimes ran a sub-49 time was in the NCAA Outdoor Championships in June where he finished second with a 48.71, his previous personal best.

“If you can come out and PR in July, that’s huge,” Robinson said, according to the release. “That’s impressive after a long collegiate season. (Grimes) came here and handled each round like a veteran. He went a second faster every round.”

Another standout Red Raider at the USA Track and Field National Championships was junior long jumper, Justin Hall. In the long jump, Hall had the second-furthest jump of his collegiate career after leaping 25’-10.25” (7.88m) to place seventh in the event, according to the release.

“Justin (Hall) did a great job out there in some rainy conditions,” associate head coach James Thomas said, according to the release.

“He had one of the best jumps of his career and proved he belonged amongst a great field.

Justin (Hall) had an extremely memorable 2019 season.”

Competing in the long jump with Hall, senior Charles Brown participated in his last meet as a Red Raider, according to the release. Brown did not make the finals with his 25’-6.75” (7.79m) jump. The jump marked his best since he came in fourth place at the

Big 12 Championships with a 7.79m jump.

Also on the field, graduate student Duke Kicinski had a top throw of 201’-0” (61.28m) in the discus to place sixth in his first meet since winning the national championship in June, according to the release. Sophomore Seasons Usual also participated in the discus as she competed against the top women throwers in the country. Usual threw 144’-11” (44.17m) ranking 17th in the event.

Senior Alaysha Johnson participated in the 100m hurdles for the women but did not make it past the first round of the event, according to the release. Johnson finished her event in 13.77.

In the women’s high jump, senior Zarriea Willis had a strong performance to rank among the top jumpers in the United States, according to the release. Willis was one of five jumpers to finish after clearing 6’0” (1.83m).

The jump ranked Willis ninth in the event.

Men’s senior pole vaulter Brandon Bray also competed at the meet but he was unable to put himself on the board after he recorded a no-height, according to the release. Bray was unable to clear 17’-11” (5.46m) after he set the school record with an 18’’-8.25” (5.70m) jump in June.

New podcast looks into John W. Hinckley Jr.’s time at Tech

By ELEANOR GUINAN Staff Writer

An infamous man in Texas Tech history is getting a spotlight shown on him 38 years after a national tragic event.

A podcast called Crimeficionados is doing a series over John Hinckley Jr., a former Tech student who tried to kill former President Ronal Reagan in Washington, D.C. in 1981.

One episode in the series is titled “Texas Tech,” which is focused on Hinckley’s connections to Tech and Lubbock.

This series is Travis Daughtrey and Lee Flores’ first podcast, which started with them having a similar passion.

“We just started talking about true crime in the bar.

I’m a bartender in the bar downstairs below the studio that Lee works in,” Daughtrey said. Over a few months we started talking more and more about Hinckley, and Lee started talking about how she wanted to do a podcast for a long time, so it just came together really quickly.”

Hinckley’s past was a topic Flores said was an obvious option for the podcast, as she did her dissertation over him for her Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley.

She said she first became interested in Hinckley after the assassination attempt

Regarding the podcast series, which will have a total of 15 episodes, Flores said she and Daughtrey already released episodes one through nine. She said episode five is the episode about Hinckley’s life not just at Tech but in Lubbock as well.

Regarding some background about Hinckley, Flores said he would go to a burger place called Bob’s Lot of Burgers every day. Locals at the restaurant saw Hinckley and eventually became friends with him over the seven years at Tech, she said.

“He was just a few credits shy of graduating with a degree in liberal arts,” Flores

said. “So, he was in Lubbock a lot. Just a lot of fun little tidbits about his life when he was there and the people he encountered. Like, he ate a lot of cheeseburgers. Local merchants and stuff would see him and call him and say ‘there goes old Hinky Dinky.’”

When Hinckley was a freshman, he had three roommates, Daughtrey said. Hinckley then went to live alone at Western Air Apartments and University Arms Apartments, which is still standing at 409 University Ave. After the “Texas Tech” episode aired, Flores said she received a comment from a woman who took a German history class at Tech from a professor named Joseph King in the 1980s. She said the woman’s comment explained how the professor had Hinckley in a class, and the woman

AGRICULTURE

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Even though the USDA AMS solely runs the facility, which will be located near the Rawls Golf Course, Hequet said the facility will still have a great impact on Tech.

“It is still significant for Tech because it will be the most modern and the largest classing office in the world,” he said. “Therefore, we expect many, many visitors from all over the world just to see the facilities. It will be right here on campus, so they will probably visit Texas Tech at the same time.”

Along with having the cotton classing facility near campus, USDA AMS wants to continue partnering with Tech in order to give certain students the opportunity to work at the facility, Hequet said. Whether it be in the fields of agriculture or engineering, he said the facility will provide a variety of work opportunities.

“It will be very, very positive not just for ag, but for the campus in general,” he said regarding how the USDA AMS facility will give students multiple learning opportunities.

Currently, the USDA AMS is working to renew their research presence, as the department had a

sat in the same seat Hinckley did years before.

Even after Hinckley left the South Plains, people were still reminiscing about him and telling stories, Flores said.

“It was still a thing, you know, even immediately after the fact (and) years later,” Flores said. “People are still swapping stories about their encounters with him (Hinckley) at Texas Tech and Lubbock.”

The other big topic Flores and Daughtrey are wanting to talk about in the series is mental health.

Hinckley suffered from narcissistic personality disorder, among other mental health issues, Daughtrey said.

Mental health is a topic he said will recur throughout the Hinckley series and the next series the podcast will cover.

“One of the biggest aspects we are talking about overall is obviously mental health,” Daughtrey said. “I think that’s going to be true throughout the podcast regardless of the Hinckley series or if it’s the Fraud series; no matter what we’re talking about.”

There is a two part episode in Crimeficiandos about Saint Elizabeth’s, which is the mental health facility in Washington D.C. where Hinckley was until 2016, Flores said. The reason mental health is going to be a recurring topic in the series is because true crime and mental health go hand in hand, she said.

Crimeficionados is just about to release the tenth episode of their series,

On March 30, 1981, John W. Hinckley Jr. tried to assassinate former President Ronald Reagan in Washington D.C. Hinckley was immediately apprehended and put into jail, while Reagan was rushed to the hospital.

Reagan was shot one time in the lungs, while three other White House officials were also wounded, according to the HISTORY website. Reagan walked into the George Washington Hospital, as the wound was not severe at first.

Reagan went into a twohour surgery and came out in stable condition. Two of the three White House officials recovered, while the third, James Brady, suffered from permanent brain damaged and his death was ruled a homicide 33 years later stemming from complications due to the wound.

The incident involving Brady sparked a movement to pass the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, also known as the Brady Bill, according to the HISTORY website.

The Brady Bill was put into effect on November 30, 1993 and requires sellers of firearms to do background

checks on the buyers, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica website.

After previously being arrested for weapon charges in Tennessee, Hinckley was arrested for the assassination attempt, according to the HISTORY website. However, in 1982, the court found the Ardmore, Oklahoma native not guilty by reason of insanity.

Hinckley was diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder and claims he attempted the assassination for actress Jodie Foster, according to a New York Times article published in April 5, 1981. Clippings of the article can be found in the Texas Tech Southwest Collection.

“The letters to Miss Foster describe his fanaticized relationship with her and his need as reported in his final letter to effect, ‘this historical deed’ to kill the President,” according to the NYT article.

Hinckley was placed in the Saint Elizabeth’s psychiatric hospital in Washington D.C., according to the HISTORY website. He was released from the hospital on July 27, 2016.

Daughtrey said. After the Hinckley series concludes, he said he and Flores will

do a Fraud series and then a White Collar Crime series.

research branch that was abandoned in the past, Hequet said.

“Now the idea is rebuilding it,” he said regarding the research branch of the USDA AMS. “Not within USDA, but through corporations, universities. Tech would be a good partner because we’re just next door.”

Through the partnership with the USDA AMS, Hequet said Tech benefits greatly. In addition to giving students learning opportunities, he said students will be trained at the cotton classing facility and possibly work under the USDA in the future.

“With time, we’ll have a significant number of Te c h g r a d u a t e s w i t h i n the management of USDA AMS,” he said. “It will not be built within one day; it will take time.”

With the variety of agricultural achievements Tech has earned, the campus community could be affected in different ways.

These achievements may also have an effect on the research opportunities offered on campus and students’ engagement in research.

Joseph Heppert, vice president of the Tech Office of Research and Innovation, said Tech’s achievements in agriculture, whether it be the progress of the vet school or the establishment of the USDA AMS facility

near campus, will provide multiple opportunities for growth in research.

The SVM will develop professionals that will fulfill the lack of veterinarians within Texas, Heppert said.

“In one way, primarily, it is an academic program, which is going to produce extremely well-trained students to serve the state of Texas,” he said. “In order to be an accredited program, it also will have a very strong research component.”

In addition to fulfilling a state need, Heppert said the SVM will allow Tech to take part in more collaborations on a larger scale.

He said the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, which will be moved from New York to Manhattan, Kansas, is one department that Tech, which already has strong programs dedicated to studying communicable diseases in animals, may collaborate with in the future.

Integrating research across other disciplines, such as immunology, basic biology and wildlife population biology, is another benefit Heppert said may result from collaborations with outside departments, such as NBAF. “The vet school will give us the opportunity to add some individuals that can collaborate with some of

the researchers who will be at NBAF,” he said. “In the same way, we have the opportunity to hire researchers who will collaborate on other kinds of threatening zoonotic diseases.”

Regarding the upcoming cotton classing facility near the Tech campus, Heppert said Tech’s collaboration with the USDA AMS will also provide research opportunities.

“It’s going to connect back to out basic plant science research, which is aimed at improving the quality of plants and fiber production,” he said.

Regardless of the achievements Tech has had in agriculture, more students pursuing research at Tech may also have an impact on the agriculture field. “ We w a n t t o p r o v i d e students, whether they are graduate students or undergraduate students, with the opportunity to engage in top-flight research activities,” Heppert said.

“The opportunity that those students have by engaging in research, experiencing the excitement of a new discovery and then making decisions to continue that as a second part of their career will really contribute to the stability and the continued leadership of American agriculture.”

Three Red Raiders recognized on preseason watch lists

By MAX HENGST Sports Editor

Three awards recognized Texas Tech football players as they announced their preseason watch lists over the past week.

The senior linebacker Jordyn Brooks picked up his first preseason watch list mention after being named a candidate for the Butkus Award last week according to a Tech Athletics news release. On July 23, Brooks was named to the Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list as the 2019 season approaches.

Brooks was one of 92 players to make the Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list, according to the release. The Football Wr i t e r s A s s o c i a t i o n o f America (FWAA) and the Charlotte Touchdown Club sponsor the award that is given to the top defensive player in college football each year.

In his three seasons with Tech, Brooks recorded 259 tackles as he recorded at least 80 tackles in each season with the Red Raiders, according to the release. Brooks led

Tech’s defense with the most tackles on the team in both 2016 (84) and 2018 (84) as he is only 70 tackles away from making the top 10 in program history in the category.

Last year, Brooks led the team in total tackles (84), solo tackles (43), assisted tackles (41) and tackles for loss (7.5), according to Tech Athletics.

He also snagged a single pass for an interception as well as ranking second on the defense with six quarterback hits.

As Brooks earned his second award watch list m e n t i o n t h i s s u m m e r, junior offensive lineman Jack Anderson was recognized with his first as he was named a candidate for the Outland Trophy on July 23, according to the release.

The Outland Trophy is awarded to the top interior lineman (both offensive and defensive) in the nation, according to the release. Anderson was one of 83 players on the watch list as he became the first Red Raider to make the watch list since current Indianapolis

Colts’ offensive lineman Le’Raven Clark made the list in 2015.

A nder s on’s expec t a tions are high this season as he earned Freshman A l l -A m er i c a honor s i n 2017 as a true freshman and an All-Big 12 second team accolade last season, according to the release.

Pro Football Focus also named Anderson to an All-Big 12 team last season, but the publication put the Frisco native on the first team after using their own grading system.

While this is Anderson’s first appearance on a preseason watch list this summer, the junior has earned two other accolades this preseason, according to the release.

Anderson was named to the preseason All-Big 12 team as well as the Dave Campbell’s All-Texas Team for his work on the offensive line.

The final Red Raider to see their name on a preseason watch list this week was senior offensive l i n e m a n Tr a v i s B r u f f y after he was named to the Wuerffel Trophy watch list on July 25, according to

the release.

Bruffy was one of 86 student-athletes to be nominated for the premier college football award for community service, according to the release.

The trophy is annually given to a football player who not only services their community but excels academically as well.

This is the second time Bruffy has been recognized for his work off of the football field as he was also named a candidate for the AFCA Good Works Team, according to the release. Buffy has impacted the community heavily as he regularly volunteers at local elementary schools as well as volunteering for both the Boys and Girls Club and the Special Olympics in Lubbock.

Aside from his community service, Bruffy is the president of Tech’s chapter of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) where he contributed to starting the “I Got Your Back” campaign for mental health awareness as well as a competition among student-athletes called

“ReSAACyle,” according to the release. He also served as a representative on the Big 12 SAAC as he was recently one of four football players to vote on NCAA legislation at the NCAA Autonomy Convention.

The two-time Academic All-Big 12 first team honoree has started in 22 games with Tech as he enters the 2019 season as a team captain, according to the release. This is Bruffy’s second season to be elected as a captain by his teammates as he earned All-Big

12 honorable mentions in his last two seasons with the Red Raiders.

Bruffy will find out if he won the award in February as 1996 Heisman Tr o p h y w i n n e r D a n n y Wuerffel announces the winner in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The Nagurski Trophy will be announced on Dec. 9 at a banquet and the Outland Trophy will be announced at The Home Depot College Football Awards on Dec. 12 live on ESPN. @MaxHengstDT

By ELEANOR GUINAN Staff Writer

The Texas Tech men’s basketball team is set to play Kentucky on Saturday, Jan. 25, 2020, in the United Supermarkets Arena for the Red Raiders’ eighth non-conference home game of the 20192020 season.

The Big 12/SEC Classic is an annual event in Jan. every year, according to a Tech Athletics news release. The 2020 matchup between 10 teams from the Big 12 and 10 of the

14 schools from the SEC will mark the fifth year of the event.

Tech is coming off of the program’s first NCAA Championship game where the Red Raiders faced Virginia, losing 8577 in overtime. Tech has a 4-2 overall record in the Big 12/SEC Classic, including a 67-64 win over Arkansas last year.

Some SEC teams Tech has played in the past include LSU, South Carolina, Auburn, Alabama and Arkansas before the matchup last year, accord-

ing to the release. Tech head coach Chris Beard is 3-0 against SEC teams since he came to Tech in 2016.

The Wildcats advanced to the Elite Eight in last year’s NCAA Tournament before getting knocked out by Auburn, according to the release. Kentucky was 15-3 in conference play last year but lost to Tennessee in the SEC Tournament.

In last year ’s Big 12/ SEC Classic, the Wildcats played Kansas and lost, 71-63, according to

Kansas Athletics.

The game in 2020 will be the fifth time Tech and Kentucky met, according to the release. Currently, Tech is 0-4 against Kentucky after losing to the Wildcats, 83-68, in the last matchup in 1994.

The Red Raiders are looking to continue their 47 straight non-conference home game win streak carried on from last season, according to the release. The team also went 17-1 at home last season, the lone loss coming against Iowa State.

Along with the current Red Raiders, four former Tech track and field athletes participated in the USA Track and Field National Championships. Andrew Hudson was one of the four former Red Raiders to compete and he ran a 20.73 in the 200m on Saturday to earn an at-large bid to the

semi-final, according to the release. In the semi-final, Hudson ran a 20.67, ranking sixth in heat.

“This meet is just about going out and beating people,” Robinson said after Hudson’s first run on Saturday, according to the release. “(Hudson) got a tough lane assignment in lane one, but everybody has to

run the same distance and he went out and earned a spot in the semis.”

Another alumnus to compete at the meet was high jumper JaCorian Duffield, according to the release.

Duffield had a season-best jump of 7’-4.25 (2.24m) to place fourth in the event.

“It was great seeing JaCorian start looking like his old

The other track athletes who used to represent the scarlet and black were triple jumper Viershanie Latham and high jumper Trey Culver, according to the release. Latham fin-

Buccaneers sign 2nd generation QB Strasburg fires gem for MLB-best 14th win TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed quarterback Vincent Testaverde, whose father, Vinny, was the No. 1 overall

pick in the 1987 NFL draft and is still the club’s career passing leader.

The younger Testaverde played his final college season

at Albany, where he transferred after playing at Texas Tech as a true freshman and spending two years at his father’s alma mater, Miami.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Stephen Strasburg was too tough, even for the top team in the majors.

The Washington ace tossed seven masterful innings Sunday to win his seventh consecutive start, leading the Nationals to an 11-4 rout of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

“Everything about him this year has been amazing,” manager Dave Martinez said. “The way he works. His attitude.

He’s having fun. I just watched him dance. It was kind of nice.”

Martinez watched most of Strasburg’s latest gem from the clubhouse after he and outfielder Adam Eaton were ejected for arguing a called strike in the first inning.

Strasburg (14-4) took over the major league lead in wins after striking out nine, walking none and limiting a potent Dodgers lineup to one run and two hits. He threw 67 of 100 pitches for strikes.

“He’s been everything you can imagine one of your star pitchers to be,” Martinez said.

Brian Dozier and Juan Soto homered, while Anthony Rendon continued to swing a productive bat with three hits and four RBIs that helped the Nationals (56-49) prevent a three-game sweep by the major league-leading Dodgers (69-38).

Corey Seager hit a threerun homer with two outs in the ninth off Nationals reliever Michael Blazek to help the Dodgers avoid their most lopsided loss of the season.

Mariners slip past Tigers in 10 for 5th straight win SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Mariners are making a habit out of lategame heroics.

J . P. C r a w f o r d h i t a walkoff single with one out in the 10th inning and the Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 Sunday.

It was the second walkoff victory in the series for the Mariners. Mallex Smith hit an RBI single in the ninth inning to give Seattle a 3-2 win Friday.

Seattle won its fifth straight and swept a series for the first time since a fourgame run against the Kansas

City Royals in April.

“Really good homestand by our guys there,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said.

“They really competed well.

The whole 10-day homestand, certainly finishing off here on a nice streak.”

Dylan Moore led of the 10th inning with a double against José Cisnero. After Mallex Smith struck out, Crawford flared a short single to center to drive in Moore.

Crawford’s single dropped just out of the reach of multiple players. Moore didn’t hesitate, getting an early

jump and racing home with the winning run.

“That’s like a 50-50, it’s a do or die,” Crawford said of Moore’s read. “If he catches it, we’re doubled up and out of the inning. But he made the right read. I think it was the right play and it all worked out. “ Rookies played a big role in a second straight win for Seattle. Ryan Court and Austin Nola combined for four hits and six RBI in Saturday’s 8-1 victory.

“Everybody’s contributing which is awesome to see,” Moore said.
