There are more than 18,000 parking spaces spread across the Texas Tech campus. For new students, it may be difficult to figure out which of those are available and how a parking permit can benefit them.

Ayde Hernandez, a sophomore from Plainview, transferred to Tech this year from Wayland Baptist University. Going from a small campus where a student can walk from one end to the other in no time to a large campus like Tech is a big change, she said.

Hernandez was not able to obtain a permit before the semester started, she said, and was using the park-and-pay areas. On Monday, she spent $5.50 in the morning and

added another $4 to avoid a citation that afternoon.

“I think it’s better to get a permit,” she said. “It’s pretty expensive.”

Hernandez also said there did not seem to be enough parking spaces for students close to the buildings.

Transportation and Parking Services marketing coordinator Stacy Stockard said the core of campus, just beyond the entry stations, is only open to faculty, staff and service vehicles from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

“We’ve had that rule for decades and it just helps us cut down on traffic in the busiest part of campus,” Stockard said. “It makes it a little bit safer for everybody.”

Rush Long, a freshman geosciences major from Abilene, plays oversized Battleship outside Murray Hall on Monday. The Texas Tech Residence Halls Association hosted the Guns Up Forevermore Oversized Game Night to kick off the school year and promote the Guns Up Forevermore Scholarship.

By AMY CUNNINGHAM Managing editor

The Texas Tech Residence Halls Association combined philanthropy and games during the Guns Up Forevermore Oversized Game Night on Monday night.

Attendees were served Raising Cane’s and played giant Jenga, Battleship, Twister and other games from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Murray Clock Tower Courtyard.

RHA President Jarrett Fullington, a senior philosophy and honors arts and letters dual major from Palmer, said the event was a fun way to kick off the school year while promoting the Guns Up Forevermore Scholarship.

“It’s a peer-to-peer scholarship based on the pay-it-forward mentality,” he said. “It’s made up of donations from students, and it’s a rolling scholarship that’s given out throughout the entire year.

There’s no official deadline for it for on-campus students.”

The scholarship exists to help out students who might have financial difficulties, FulEDITORIAL: 806-742-3393

lington said, or to recognize students for positive acts in their residence halls.

Organizers decided to promote the scholarship during the game night because they knew there would be dozens of students in attendance, Rick Schimka, RHA adviser, said.

Fullington wants the scholarship to be something students are proud to receive, he said.

“One of our big initiatives this year is a push for this scholarship.

We want this to be a big scholarship,” Fullington said. “Similar scholarships at other universities raise incredible amounts of money, and we would like to see this scholarship reach that point.”

Students can nominate each other for the scholarship through the Orgsync, according to the RHA website.

Nominees must be full-time undergraduate students, according to the website, who are in good standing with the university and have a cumulative GPA of 2.25 or higher.

Brett Masi was named the new Texas Tech men’s tennis coach on Aug. 7. Masi was previously the men’s tennis coach at the University of San Diego and has an overall record of 108-48.

The Texas Tech Athletics Department officially introduced Brett Masi as the new coach of the men’s tennis team after naming Masi as coach on Aug. 7.

Masi begins his tenure at Tech as the eighth head coach in the program’s history, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

He replaces longtime coach Tim Siegel, who announced his retirement in early July from the program after serving as the men’s head coach for 23 seasons.

Before taking the coaching job at Tech, Masi said Siegel kept close contact with him throughout his career.

“I’ve always had a great respect for Tim,” Masi said. “He’s helped me out a lot as a young head coach throughout the years.”

As a head coach, Masi guided the University of San Diego men’s tennis team from 2009 to 2015.

In those six years at San Diego, Masi accumulated a 108-48 record, three West Coast Conference championships and five consecutive NCAA tournament appearances since 2010.

Prior to joining San Diego, Masi served as an assistant coach for the University of South California Trojans, where he was a part of the coaching team which won the 2009 National Championship.

Masi earned the Tennis Association West Region Assistant Coach of the Year twice as an assistant coach with the Trojans in 2007 and 2008.

Deputy Director of Athletics Chad Weiberg said he viewed Masi as a perfect fit for the head coaching job and the Tech community.

Universities partner for brain training

By DAVID GAY Staff Writer

The Texas Tech School of Law has partnered with the Center for BrainHealth at the University of Texas at Dallas for the SMART brain training for firstyear law students.

SMART stands for Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Training, according to a Tech news release, and it aims to maximize mental efficiency and minimize stress.

Darby Dickerson, dean of the law school, said Chad Smith, a School of Law alumnus, brought the SMART brain training program to her attention.

“He asked if I could spare two hours on an upcoming trip to Dallas to go over to this organization called the Center for Brain Health,” BUSINESS: 806-742-3388

GPC project creates better classrooms

BY SHASHIDHAR SASTRY Staff Writer

The General Purpose Classroom project is dedicated to identifying and renovating classrooms that have fallen into disrepair. The program has since grown in popularity and demand among students and instructors since its establishment in 2010.

There are currently 44 GPCs in six buildings across the Texas Tech campus, and each is equipped with a wide range of equipment regularly maintained by a professional staff, according to the program website. The GPC project is a part of the Office of the Provost and operates under the direction of Academic Support and Facilities Resources.

“The goal of the project is to improve our classroom teaching spaces so that a lot of different areas will want to use them,” Patricia Vitela, assistant managing director of

Academic Support and Facilities Resources, said.

As the name suggests, the general purpose classrooms do not have a home department.

Instead, they are centrally scheduled, Vitela said, which means the classrooms can be used for teaching classes from a variety of disciplines.

“So a math class or a history class or an English class, there are lots of different types of classes that could be taught over there,” she said, “and what that helps with is improve our utilization.”

Efficient utilization is necessary on college campuses since it plays a role in the funding of future projects, Vitela said.

The classrooms are not all identical and may differ in size, type and technology, Vitela said.

Classroom sizes vary from 20 to more than 300 seats, and some classrooms may have Mediasite for lecture recording and some may have document cameras.

The classrooms are designed

keeping in mind specific instructional needs.

“We have a couple of different things in our classrooms depending on what the need was at the time,” she said.

In general, however, all of the classrooms are equipped with at least the basic technology, including telephones, computers and projectors, Vitela said. The classrooms are also equipped with special desks and assisted listening devices for helping those with disabilities.

The rooms are inspected on a weekly basis to make sure they are in good repair, Vitela said.

The carpet, furniture, walls, boards and more are checked and the room is restocked with essential instructional supplies.

“What we try to do is get as much input as we can from instructors and students and what do they really need in a teaching space to be successful,” she said.

Classroom Technology Services, a division of IT Help Central, was created to assist

with the technological aspects of the GPC project.

CTS ensures the software and technology in the classrooms is up-to-date, Vitela said. CTS staff also conducts technology training for instructors before the start of each semester, and members stay on campus until 7 p.m. in case an instructor for an evening class needs assistance.

Paul Reinsch, professor of practice and teaching film in the Department of Theatre and Dance, has taught more than eight classes in at least two different GPCs throughout the past three years.

“One of the advantages of a GPC room is there’s that guarantee from the university of a standardized set of technologies,” Reinsch said.

If a problem arises in one of the classrooms, he said, he can contact the Classroom Technology Services, who offer assistance either over the phone or in person, whichever is faster.

KIRBY CRUMPLER/The Daily Toreador

Several classrooms have been renovated because of the General Purpose Classroom project since 2010. The classrooms that were renovated had some of the latest technology installed.

As a professor of film, Reinsch said he likes the fact that GPCs have a wide array of equipment. Although he has not used all of the equipment, he said it is good to know they are there and will work if he needs to use them.

“To me one of the real advantages of a GPC is they’re trying

to put all this technology and everything in the room to make it available for theater faculty, film faculty, (media and communication) faculty and make it useful for professors and students both that are coming from a range of backgrounds and interests,” Reinsch said. @DailyToreador

PARKING

campus, Commuter West is at the southwest corner, Commuter Raiderpark is located across Marsha Sharp Freeway from Jones AT&T Stadium and Commuter Satellite is between 8th and 10th Streets just west of Texas Tech Parkway.

Commuter North tends to be the first to sell out each year, Stockard said, but students can be added to a waitlist for it and any other lot that is sold out.

Permits are on a first-come, firstserved basis and allow the holder to park anywhere within their designated lot, she said.

Two new permits were introduced during the last year, Stockard said. The Commuter Evening permit is for students who aren’t on campus during the day and allows them to park in any of the commuter

lots after 2:30 p.m.

Commuter ICC, the newest permit offered, provides spaces in small lots around the International Cultural Center. Stockard said the lot is just a short walk for business students and others near north side of campus.

Students can also catch a bus from several different apartment complexes. Off-campus bus service is free with a student ID, and once on campus, all bus service is free.

Salyann Carrillo, a freshman from Anton, said she lives off campus and does not drive, but rides the buses. She has not had a problem with the buses being on time, but it took a while to learn the system.

“It pretty much stays on its course, you just have to find the right bus route,” Carrillo said.

Stockard said the buses run every day classes are in session.

Buses run on campus every six minutes beginning at 7:25 a.m., with the Masked Rider and Red Raider routes running clockwise and buses on the Double T route running counterclockwise, according to the Citibus website.

Bus service ends at 7:21 p.m., but after 5:30 p.m., anyone with a valid parking permit can park in any park-and-pay areas around campus buildings without paying or risking a citation, Stockard said.

If a student does receive a citation, they may be able to appeal or participate in the first citation dismissal program, Stockard said.

“Call us (at 806-742-PARK) and see if it qualifies for a dismissal,” she said.

While citations can range from $10 to $200, Stockard said some parking violations can lead to other consequences. Parking in someone else’s reserved spot can lead to a towing, while racking up 10 or more citations can lead to a boot being placed on a vehicle for each subsequent citation, regardless of payment status, Stockard said.

Violations are expected to decrease once students become accustomed to the campus and parking rules, she said.

“We typically see the most at the start of school, and then it gradually tapers off,” Stockard said. “A lot of them come from schools that may not have had any type of regulated parking so it can really be a big change.”

TRAINING

Health at UT Dallas said. “It’s really giving them the tools to work smarter, not harder.”

First-year law students have a lot of material to cover in their first year, Cook said. This program gives them multiple tools to help focus on the material.

“We teach them tools that limit multitasking, being more productive and being on time.

We also teach them tools that minimize distractions,” Cook said. “This is where we take learning to the level where you create new knowledge.”

It has helped first-year students already, Hayden Hatch, a first-year law student from Lubbock, said.

“I figured that I would need the SMART program,” Hatch said. “It gave me the ability to focus more and study smarter, not harder. I have been practicing the little things and putting my skills into context. I have seen changes from where I was before.”

The law school plans on expanding this program from first-year law students to every

student in the school next year, Dickerson said.

“I had to implement this program somewhere. We thought that we should get connected with the students at orientation so they will be able to take full advantage of the program through all three years of law school,” Dickerson said. “If it works the way we think it will, we are going to offer the same training to our third-years that are preparing for the bar exam. It will be fully implemented by next year.”

The School of Law is the first law school to adopt the SMART program, he said, and there is a certain level of pride to come with that.

All students could benefit from a program like this, Hatch said.

“It would be useful to all Texas Tech students,” Hatch said. “You have to pay attention to what you are reading and writing. It would definitely help in political science and the liberal arts program.”

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Employee spots account for about one-third of the total spaces on campus, Stockard said. Another small part includes visitor, time zone, service, ADA and motorcycle spaces, leaving more than half of the spaces for students, she said.

Residence lots are reserved 24 hours per day for those living in residence halls who have purchased a permit, Stockard said. Students living off campus can choose from six types of commuter lot permits, starting at $40, which offer bus service to 16 different stops on campus.

Commuter North is located at the northeast corner of the

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “The Brain Performance Institute is from UT Dallas and so I really trusted that factor of it and I was really impressed with the clinicians they brought to speak with me, they didn’t talk in any type of jargon,” Dickerson said.

“When you see talented people connected to an educational institution, it’s impressive.

They are developing strategies to help people succeed.”

According to the release, the training focuses on the brain’s frontal lobe, where all the planning, decision making and problem solving takes place.

“It’s all about equipping individuals with tools to help them maximize their cognitive performance, particularly having to engage a lot of information and being able to work efficiently and optimize that approach,” Lori Cook, director of pediatric brain injury programs for the Center of Brain

CUTE club raises environmental awareness

BY EASTON WOLLNEY Staff Writer

The Clean Up the Environment club, part of the Residence Halls Association, hosted an event on the first day of class and gave away free tumblers filled with lemonade in exchange for students signing a sustainability pledge.

The event took place from noon to 1:30 p.m. on the lawn of Knapp Residence Hall.

Alyssa Glover, a sophomore multidisciplinary studies major from Katy, is chairwoman of the club.

She said the main objective of the tumblers is to reduce the use of Styrofoam and keep it out of landfills.

During the 2013-2014 school year, University Student Housing recycled 138 tons of cardboard, 119 tons of metal, 32 tons of plastic and 73 tons of paper, textiles

and other things, according to the Housing website.

If students use a tumbler at campus dining halls, Glover said, they receive a discount on cold beverages. In addition, the club is planning to host a recycled fashion contest for the spring and hopes to increase the number of recycling bins on campus. “ We a r e g o i n g t o d o more campus cleanups,” she said. “We are going to do one a semester.”

Jarrett Fullington, a senior arts and letters and philosophy dual major from Palmer, passed out tumblers and fliers at the event and said he has been a member of RHA since his freshman year.

Fullington said the club hopes to make Tech a more sustainable campus and raise awareness.

Taking a shorter shower, using energy efficient

light bulbs, walking or biking and recycling cardboard, plastic, cans, plastic foam and electronics at the Tech Recycling Center are also ways to be more sustainable, according to the CUTE fliers.

Rick Schimka, who has been the adviser for RHA since June, was oversaw the event. RHA includes several other groups, such as the Complex Council and TechSafe.

RHA is the second-largest student organization on campus, according to the Tech website, and $7.50 from each resident’s Room and Board fees goes into the RHA budget each semester.

University Housing offers 20 sustainability scholarships a year for students who live on campus and 10 to students who live off campus. Each award amount is $1,000 and students have to meet certain criteria,

Raider Welcome is a series of events hosted Aug. 16-28 on the Texas Tech campus to welcome both new and returning students.

University Student Housing and Transition and Engagement officially spon-

sor Raider Welcome, but many other campus entities host events throughout the two weeks.

Stefan Altheide, the administrator for first year raider experience, said Transition and Engagement holds open submissions for departments and organizations on campus to host events.

“The first week (students) get here after move-in they have a free week, so it’s really important to engage them and get them involved on campus,” he said. “I think it’s also important during the first week of school because they can learn time management.

They really get a feel of what it will be like to be a student

Auction of coin collection RHA CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 could fetch $20 million William Jackson, a sophNEW YORK (AP) — A New York auction of American coins from 1792 to the 1830s could bring as much as $20 million.

The 105-coin sale on Sept. 30 is the second of five auctions by Stack’s Bowers and Sotheby’s of federal coinage from the D. Brent Pogue Collection.

Among the stars of the sale is a 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, known as the Lord Saint Oswald specimen, estimated between $3 million and $5 million. The coin was acquired in Philadelphia after its mintage by British author and House of Lords member William Strickland.

It remained in the possession of his descendants until a 1964 auction. Among its previous owners was former Louisiana Congressman Jimmy Hayes.

Other highlights in the sale include a 1795 Capped Bust Right Eagle, also known as the Garrett Eagle, worth $10 when it was minted. It is considered the single finest surviving U.S. gold coin struck in the 18th century.

“It’s undoubtedly the most valuable $10 gold piece in existence and may also set a new record for any pre-Gold Rush United States gold coin,” said Stack’s expert numismatist John Kraljevich.

Its pre-sale estimate is $750,000 to $1.2 million.

The current record is $2.35

million for a quarter eagle worth $2.50 when it was struck in 1808. It sold at the first Pogue collection auction in May. The 1795 coin was once owned by T. Harrison Garrett, a Baltimore banker, and later his sons, who donated it to Johns Hopkins University in 1942. It was later sold at auction.

omore electronic media and communications major from Atascocita, helped organize the event and said the scholarship was started two years ago by a previous RHA president who wanted to promote campus spirit and generosity. About 10 scholarships valued at $1,000 are given each semester.

“The event gets everyone together in a central location on

and be involved.”

There were more than 90 events scheduled during this year’s Raider Welcome Week, and Altheide said the events help students connect to other students on a peer level the Tech administration cannot.

Although Raider Welcome benefits new students, Altheide said, it also benefits campus departments and returning students by getting them readjusted to being more involved.

“It’s a way for them to get reacclimated to campus because some of them might have been gone all summer,” he said. “It gives them a chance to reconnect with friends and get back with their organizations and recruit new students.”

Raider Welcome is structured to expand on experiences at Red Raider Orientation, according to the Transition and Engagement website, and students have the opportunity to meet new people and sign up for student organizations.

Gabriella Gamez, a junior business management major from Arlington and the vice president of recruitment and retention for Tech Activities Board, said TAB recorded feedback from students campus,” Jackson said. “It’s a good way to unwind after first day of classes, and it’s a safe outlet for students.”

Kelly Hernandez, a freshman finance major from Houston, said she decided to attend the event after seeing fliers in her residence hall.

The overall environment of the event was enjoyable, she said.

“This scholarship is all about giving back to fellow students,” Fullington said, “and we think that’s part of what makes a great Red Raider.” @DailyToreador

when planning its Raider Welcome events so they would have fun interacting with other students.

“This is your first time by yourself for most of the students here,” Gamez said. “It’s nice to have other people who feel the same way as you do.”

Students participated in a service project with Habitat for Humanity Aug. 17 through Aug. 21, and a large number of students attended the Night at the Union event on Aug. 18 in the Student Union Building.

Many organizations on campus have been involved in Raider Welcome, including the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center, Museum of Texas Tech, the Residence Halls Association and various academic departments.

Some events got students to spend time outside, and students played with shelter dogs on August 19 and played giant versions of board games on Monday on the Murray Clock Tower lawn.

Students also got a preview of the Tech football game experience on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium and heard from various Tech coaches.

“It’s Welcome Week, so

there are a bunch of people coming to see what’s going on and what we bring,” Gamez said. “We had an improv group and we had a lot of people come to that so that was fun.”

Upcoming events include rock climbing during the Wallapalooza event at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at the Rec Center, a free showing of Jurassic World at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the SUB, free late night bowling at 8 p.m. on Friday at Main Event, as well as many others. A complete list of events can be found on the Raider Welcome website.

Raider Welcome leads up to the New Student Convocation at 5:30 p.m. on September 8 in the United Supermarkets Arena, and according to the Transition and Engagement website it celebrates new students beginning their college studies.

“I think (Raider Welcome) helps a lot of new transfer students or freshmen to get to know campus,” she said.

“A lot of people just come by themselves to see what it is and they meet a bunch of other people who came by themselves. We’ve seen so many friendships develop through these organizations.” @JenRomeroDT

Student organizations essential to college life

A

s the student population at Texas Tech continues to skyrocket, sometimes I wonder if Tech should abandon the dorm-style housing in favor of a bunkhouse approach. After all, why build countless new dorms when Tech could build one large hall with bunk beds?

These long, space-saving bunkhouses could be lined with bunk beds for the new students, and could even be called “The Jones AT&T Bunker” or “The Nellis Catacombs.” Surprisingly, nobody seems to like this idea thus far.

Like the need for additional student housing, the growth of the campus has naturally caused some growing pains for Tech students and staff. For incoming freshmen, the campus grounds have grown more intimidating; the busy streets and buildings have made meeting new friends even harder. For administration, the push for growth raises a new challenge: how to make students feel comfortable and included in this rapidly changing environment.

For these problems, it may be of interest to Tech students and administration alike to learn from another recent Lubbock phenomenon: the growth of

the megachurch.

According to the Hartford Institute for Religious Research, a megachurch is defined as a protestant church whose congregation sustains an average attendance of 2,000 persons per week.

Within the last two decades, these churches have quickly spread throughout the Lubbock landscape, attracting more and more members each week.

To d e m o n s t r a t e h o w quickly these churches have grown in Lubbock, let us look at Experience Life, a Lubbock nondenominational church.

While originally founded in 2007, according to the church’s website, by 2009 the church was ranked by Outreach Magazine as the eighth fastest-growing church in the U.S. Hillside Christian Church, a multi-site Lubbock church originally founded in Amarillo, has even made Wikipedia’s top 50 largest megachurches, with a membership of approximately 7,000

members. Hillside has expanded to include many different sites since its founding, even reaching Roseville, California, according to its website.

While some non-Christians may grimace at these institutions’ popularity and some Christians may grimace at the term “megachurch,” both should agree that as a business model, these churches’ methods are sound.

Like the modern American university, these churches not only aspire to attract newcomers (and their pay-

We students do not derive satisfaction from belonging in an enormously large swarm, but instead derive satisfaction from small communities catering to our interests and lifestyles. checks), but also to instill a sense of belonging in each member. To have these visitors voluntarily return and join the church, these churches must give them a sense of

community, despite having a larger congregation than most churches.

To g i v e m e m b e r s a sense of belonging, megachurch leaders strongly encourage members to join smaller, community-driven groups. These groups, like the student organizations around campus, vary in accordance to member taste and preference.

In an article titled, “Exploring the Megachurch Phenomena: Their characteristics and cultural context” by Dr. Scott Thumma of the Hartford Institute for Religion Research, Thumma says that not only are these smaller communities meaningful to members, but are also vital for the continuation of the churches.

Thumma writes, “A number of social observers have suggested that megachurches resemble shopping malls in their wide array of consumer-driven ministerial offerings (Niebuhr 1995a; Eiesland 1995; Schaller 1992; Ostling 1991). The megachurch functions like the mall owner providing stability and a common roof under which diverse ministries, seen as specialized boutiques, can operate. In addition several core ministries, like anchor stores, offer a continuous draw to

this spiritual shopping center (Eiesland 1995:73).”

The parallels to the workings of megachurches and Tech campus are uncanny. To get students involved, Tech sponsors certain student organizations, such as Student Government Association, and encourages students to create their own student organizations based off of their individual needs and interests.

However, unlike megachurches, Tech is unable to consistently preach the importance of these organizations. There are no Sunday sermons here to tell students the importance of small group community, no door greeters to notice when students stop coming around.

As the first week of class begins, some students may find the university experience to be more isolating than they expected. With demanding classes or bizarre roommates, some students can quickly begin to feel alone and homesick. As Tech strives to reach its 2020 goal of 40,000 students, this problem will grow larger as the campus grows busier.

T h a n k f u l l y, Te c h o ffers just about every type of student organization there is, perhaps short of a BDSM club (which, ac-

cording to the Huffington Post, do actually exist in Columbia, Tufts, MIT and Yale. If you plan to start a BDSM club at Tech, you have my full support.)

Students can discover these organizations by attending student organization fairs, surfing Tech’s OrgSync page or simply walking through the free speech area in between the Student Union Building and the Tech Library.

Despite how Tech students feel about the role of megachurches in the Lubbock community, the way these churches organize their small groups speaks volumes of the psychological needs of people in these modern times. We students do not derive satisfaction from belonging in an enormously large swarm, but instead derive satisfaction from small communities catering to our interests and lifestyles.

As the school semester begins to roar back to life, new Tech students will find themselves surrounded by more students than ever. If students ever feel isolated or alienated, it is important for them to take a lesson from the megachurch and look for a community hub wherever they can. jmiller@dailytoreador.com

Tech libraries serve as culture, information hub As Texas Tech students, we have plenty of wonderful resources at our disposal that need to be utilized to be worth the mandatory fees in our tuition. One of these resources is the Tech Library. At Texas Tech we have different, specialized libraries to choose from that offer far more than one would expect. The Law Library, Architecture Library, Health Sciences Library and even the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library all add more culturally-integrated works, in addition to the regular campus library.

A few things that need to be taken into consideration are the history, maintenance of knowledge, diversity and critical perspectives provided. These need to be accounted for in the library

systems’ contribution to society as a whole.

It is important to see where this privilege came from. According to an article from CollegeOnline. org titled, “Are Librarians Obsolete?” writer Will Sherman writes, “Libraries began blossoming under the watch of President Franklin Roosevelt, in part as a tool to differentiate the United States from book-burning Nazis. This increased interest in building a more perfect, liberal society culminated in 1956 with the

Library Services Act, which introduced federal funding for the first time.”

Many think printed books are going out of style. Be that as it may, libraries have developed into more than just books on a shelf in order of the Dewey decimal system.

Private databases hold academic papers and journals that otherwise would have to be subscribed to at a cost, in addition to special collections of art and other essential research information. Though the stacks are becoming digital, this just affords libraries more room for other things.

Not all information is available online. Though centuries of works have been picked and scanned into a digital format, it is only the tip of the iceberg

and still lacks quite a bit of critical documents.

Sherman writes, “In reality, the quality of the web depends on guidance from the library model. While moderators do have brush to clear in the new and savage cyber-scape, librarians have trail-blazed significant parts of the journey.”

The vision statement of the Tech library system makes a clear case for what libraries strive for. According to the Tech library website, “Texas Tech University Libraries will have the resources necessary to offer uncompromising service; be a research library of international stature; magnify the reputation of the university and the value of education; be a key component in the intellectual life of the university.”

Another important benefit of visiting the library is that it is the common ground where diverse ideas and cultures can converge.

As Sherman’s article points out, the wisdom of crowds is untrustworthy.

“The high visibility of certain viewpoints, analysis and even facts found online through social networking sites and wikis is engineered ideally to be the result of objective group consensus,” according to the article.

Google’s algorithm also hinges on this collective principle. Rather than an in-house “expert” arbitrarily deciding what resource is the most authoritative, Google lets the web’s group consensus decide. Sites with higher link popularity tend to rank higher in the search engines. The algorithm is

based on the principle that group consensus reveals a better, more accurate analysis of reality than a single expert ever could.

Writer James Surowiecki calls this phenomenon “the wisdom of crowds.”

This is like the game show “Family Feud” in that the questions are set up to have not a single response, but instead the most popular from a group of people polled, and then that is the weighting of the desired results. But what are our desired results?

In conclusion, libraries are more than a cool place to sit and surf the web. They offer diverse perspectives and retain a standard of information for critical thinking. kkimberlin@dailytoreador.com

Bush, at Mexican border, denounces Trump’s proposed immigration plan

Paul talks 2016 challenges while on mission in Haiti

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — On his own visit to the Mexican border Monday, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush denounced Donald Trump’s immigration plan as unrealistic and expensive. And he did it mostly in Spanish.

The former Florida governor told reporters Trump should read his book, “Imm i g r a t i o n Wa r s , ” i f h e wants to learn how to deal with illegal immigration.

Earlier, he met privately with local, state and federal officials in this city along the Rio Grande across from Reynosa, Mexico.

Trump has proposed building a massive border fence and kicking out the estimated 11 million people who are in the U.S. illegally before allowing the “good ones” and “talented” ones back in.

That plan is “not based in reality,” Bush said, arguing it will require a “much better strategy than building a fence” to deal with the complexity of America’s broken

immigration system.

“If he’s interested in a comprehensive approach, he might to want to read my book,” Bush said.

Trump took his 2016 Republican campaign to the Mexican border in July to highlight what he considers a broken border-security system. Appearing on “Fox & Friends” earlier Monday, he said of Bush, “I think it’s great that he’s going to the border because I think he’ll now find out that it is not an act of love.”

That was a jab at Bush’s comment before he joined the race that people come to the U.S. out of love for their families and the wish to give them a better life.

“I was down on the border,” Trump said. “It’s rough, tough stuff. This is not love.”

Bush told reporters at the Palenque Grill restaurant that Trump’s immigration plan would cost billions of dollars, violate civil liberties and “create friction” with Mexico, America’s thirdlargest trading partner.

Trump reacted to those claims in an interview later Monday on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.” ‘’You tell me about civil liberties,” he said. “We have to get them out and some of these people are causing tremendous problems. All you have to do is look at the crime wave.”

He added: “As far as Mexico being our third largest partner, they are making a fortune, we’re not making anything. Mexico is making a fortune because their leaders are smarter, they know what they’re doing, our people are grossly incompetent.”

Bush said border security extends beyond the land border with Mexico, noting that at least 40 percent of the people in the U.S. illegally came with valid visas. The federal government should vastly improve how it tracks the entry and exit of millions of foreign visitors, he said.

Bush also said most of those illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border are Hondurans, Guatemalans and Salvadorans, not Mexicans.

CAP-HAITIEN, Haiti (AP) — Mathieux Saint Fleur has been virtually blind for two decades. In less than 24 hours, he will see again.

As the 75-year-old Haitian patient lies on an operating table, a U.S. eye surgeonturned-politician reassures him in broken Creole that the surgery is almost over.

“People need to be encouraged it’s not much longer,” said Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul, an ophthalmologist by training, without taking his eyes off Saint Fleur.

As many of Paul’s competitors courted voters in Iowa and New Hampshire over the last week, Kentucky’s fiery junior senator joined a team of eye surgeons on a four-day mission to Haiti, giving vision to nearly 200 who would not have been blind if they lived in the United States.

But here in the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, “curable blindness” from common ailments such

as cataracts is normal.

“If Jesus can give me back my vision, I will be happy,” said Saint Fleur, who would soon have a cataract almost the size of a dime removed from his left eye. The aging man, who balances himself with a worn walking stick, said he wanted his vision back simply to see his family again.

He was among scores of Haitians — adults and children — who streamed through the hallways of Vision Plus Clinique, a nondescript, two-story building set in the heart of Haiti’s largest north-coast city and guarded by a team of armed police and a private security detail for the mission.

Despite the humanitarian focus, Paul’s precarious place in the 2016 presidential contest was never quite forgotten.

Considered a formidable White House contender for much of the last year, the first-term senator’s standing in the GOP field has suffered

following billionaire businessman Donald Trump’s sharp rise. Declining poll numbers could jeopardize Paul’s place in next month’s prime-time debate as he struggles to attract major donors to fund a national network borrowed from his father’s passionate following.

Paul acknowledged his recent struggle during an interview at a Cap-Haitien hotel, where razor-wire protects the outer walls and raw sewage flows into the nearby ocean.

“It’s sort of like a schoolyard. Once you got ‘em down, everybody piles on,” Paul said of the 2016 contest. “And I’ve been under a dog pile for a couple of weeks.”

There may be cause for optimism, however, in the face of Gary Heavin, a cigar-chomping billionaire and Republican donor who was at Paul’s side much of the week, having arrived with the senator and some of the other doctors on his private jet.

CAMPUS

PEGASUS Program begins year with party

BY MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

KIRBY CRUMPLER/The Daily Toreador

TOP: Deja McAlistar, a freshman pre-nursing major from Dallas, gets free food at the PEGASUS Welcome Event on Tuesday outside the Student Union Building. BOTTOM: Texas Tech students play the Basketball Toss game at the PEGASUS Welcome Event. The event included music, games, food and free T-shirts for attendees.

With the new school year beginning and new freshmen and transfer students swarming in, one student organization’s team members took it upon themselves to welcome first generation college students with a celebration.

Taking the North Plaza of the Student Union Building on Monday evening, PEGASUS, an organization that helps integrate first generation college students into the college atmosphere, hosted a welcoming celebration from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday at the north plaza of the Student Union Building.

“What we do here is help them transition from really not knowing what the college life is going to be like,” Priscilla Morales, unit coordinator of PEGASUS, said. “So we like to invite any student that is the first person to attend college in their family.”

The welcoming event is just one of many events the group puts on for its members, but Morales said because it is the beginning of the school year, it is only natural that this be bigger in comparison to any other events PEGASUS might have. By having the event at the north plaza of the SUB, the group is sending out an invitation to those who may want to join.

Taking names and other information of those who have already signed up to join the group, PEGASUS members worked all summer finding recruits to join the group, which gave them an estima-

tion of how many students were going to attend the celebration, Morales said. Those in attendance were standing in a line stretching into the parking lot next to the SUB as they waited to register and receive free food.

To the members of Pegasus this serves as more than a celebration, Morales said, because the social nature of the party allows the attendees to know they are not the only students who are the first people in their families to go to college.

“You kind of know that going into college it is new for everybody,” she said, “but especially for somebody who is the first person in their family to go to college it’s a big deal and it can be a little overwhelming for them.”

Having felt the same way many other FGC freshmen have felt before, Justin Rivas, section coordinator for PEGASUS, said the uneasiness of starting college can scare a student away from school.

Staying in contact with the FGC students throughout the summer through their summer orientation emailing lists can stagnate those fears and give new students more of a sense of belonging, Rivas said.

By encouraging their students to get involved with PEGASUS, the organization also has hopes that members will also be able to make an effort to get plugged into the campus, which would benefit them in the long run, he said.

“This just really shows our students that getting involved in a group on campus has lots of benefits for

your group,” Rivas said. “But then there’s also the support that comes along with it, and that’s what’s really important to us.”

As for the current event, the members of PEGASUS were also given the chance to meet their group mentors, the upperclassmen who have been involved with the group for a while, and get to know members of their groups, Rivas said. With 22 student mentors to get each member acquainted with, the organization used the mentors to help serve food and hand out raffle tickets, thus adding more socializing to the party.

Along with these types of social engagement events, PEGASUS also hosts academic workshops with the help of faculty members from campus and community service opportunities, Ashley Gonzales, PEGASUS director, said. Before the students get into the more serious side of things, members of the organization feel it is important to introduce them to more fun side of how the program, and

Couple rushes vows to beat stork HOUSTON (AP) — It could have been the plot of a movie: A Houston couple improvises a hospital wedding in less than an hour after the bride goes into labor early.

Stephanie Tallent was eight months pregnant and having an ultrasound Friday when she went into labor at Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women in Houston.

Fortunately she and fiance Jason Nese had gotten their marriage license the day before. Nese fetched the license from his car, along with a white sun dress Tallent meant to send to the cleaners. A chaplain was called and a party of doctors, nurses and clinic staff rounded up for the wedding.

After the ceremony, Tallent was prepped for a cesarean section. Daughter Sophia arrived a few hours later at 6 pounds 3 ounces.

“I think it is important that we kick off the event in a big way and that the students know that we are a program to help them as a resource and a support program for them,” Gonzales said, “but basically this kind of sets off the year.”

Members of PEGASUS encourage any FGC student to join the group and visit their organization office in Doak Hall, she said. There are many parts of attending college that can be immensely challenging for any student, but not being able to use any other family member as a resource and a guide can add to the already stressful situation.

“It’s just really nice and comforting for people to know that there are people in the same boat that they’re in,” Rivas said. “There are people that have the same family struggles, same financial struggles. They’re not alone while they’re here and that’s our main goal and our main mission.”

Smith instills new mindset into D-line

BY JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

After serving as the defensive coordinator in the second half of last season, Texas Tech assistant coach Mike Smith will now be in charge of the defensive line.

The defensive line has taken on Smith’s no-nonsense personality, senior defensive tackle Rika Levi said. Smith and the linemen identified themselves as a group by growing out their beards.

“It’s basically just a physical way for us to remind ourselves that we’re different from last year,” Levi said. “We’re not coming out here to be these nice little dudes that play around with people. We’re coming out here like grown men and we’re going to take what’s ours.”

Last season, Levi earned a starting spot but was injured in the opening game of the season, which limited him throughout the year.

He played in 11 games, starting four of those, and made 18 tackles including half a sack, according to the Tech Athletics website.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “The way he talked about how he wants to support our student athletes fit very well with what our philosophy is here at Texas Tech,” Weiberg said.

Masi takes the reigns of a Tech team that finished the 2014-2015 season with a No. 19 ranking and a NCAA Championship berth.

Although 2015 marks his first season at Tech, Masi said he feels like the program has the pieces necessary to perform well in the Big 12 Conference.

This offseason Levi has not only put in hard work on the field, but also off the field, he said. The senior defensive tackle said he weighed 353 last season but weighed in at 327 for the upcoming season. Levi credited working out twice a day and staying away from fast food as the main reasons why he was able to drop the weight.

Another aspect that helped the defensive line improve this offseason is having the opportunity to go against one of the best offensive lines in the Big 12 Conference every day in practice, as two of the linemen have been named to ESPN’s All-Big 12 Preseason Team.

“I got something that I live by, man, something that I was told since I was a kid, steel sharpens steel,” Levi said. “I ain’t ever been afraid of competition. I know (Jared) Kaster ain’t afraid of competition.

That’s only going to make us that much better.”

Senior center Jared Kaster had mutual respect for Levi as Kaster named Levi as the hardest working on the defensive line.

Even though Siegel retired as Tech’s coach, Masi said he left a solid foundation to continue to build the team up and compete on a national scale.

“We have a very strong team coming back. We only lost one player from the starting six and we’re bringing in two or maybe three guys for the rest of the year so things are looking good,” Massi said. “It’s nice the fact that I can come in here and take over a program that’s already been successful and is 19 in the country and you don’t have to pick the pieces from.” @DGaytanDT

“(Levi) has put in the work. He’s gotten stronger,” he said. “Somebody came up to me and asked

me who do you think is most improved from last year and I’d say Levi. He’s done a phenomenal job

getting his body and mind ready for camp. We line up against each other every day and it’s fun because I

know there’s guys in the Big 12 that aren’t as big as him.” @JeremyK_DT

CROSS-COUNTRY

Tech builds on experience

BY EVERETT CORDER SportS editor

Texas Tech is in one of the toughest regions and one of the toughest conferences when it comes to cross-country competition.

Tech coach Jon Murray said he could go on and on listing tough teams in the Mountain Region that the Red Raiders and Lady Raiders will compete against, but he also said that he expects both of his teams to be much improved from where they

were at last season.

“We’re looking great right now and we’re real happy,” he said. “We’ve been practicing now for a week and a half and everyone is looking good and came back in good shape.”

On the men’s team, Murray said his runners have picked up right where they left off last season, because they did not lose anybody to graduation.

Senior Nick Rivera and junior Evans Tuitoek are the leaders of the team, Murray said, and they have already been leading the charge during the first week of practice.

“It’s exciting to see that we’re one year older and better,” Murray said. “We’ll just keep on developing that group and we’re excited about having a little bit older group there.”

On the women’s side, Murray said they lost one of the

better runners from last year’s team, but returned a good core group to compete this season.

Leading the women would be junior Jocelyn Caro, Murray said, and then Hattie Schunk, who is a sophomore but was not with the team last season.

“She ran track last year but didn’t run cross country because she actually played soccer,” Murray said, “and had an injury. So she’s moved over into track and crosscountry and she’s running very well also.”

Tech will start its season this Saturday with a meet in Ruidoso, New Mexico and then compete at another smaller meet in Abilene.

The first two meets are mostly training meets, Murray said, and the runners will be working to stretch themselves

out and build some confidence. “(Abilene) is just kind of a ‘let’s see how we’re doing meet,’” Murray said. “And then we’ll start in Arkansas on the first of October, that’s when we’ll start backing down a little bit and start trying to do some more speed work.”

The meet in Arkansas, called the Chile Pepper Festival, is a staple of every season Murray has coached in, and sophomore Todd Mickey said it is one of the meets he is most looking forward to.

“That’s just a really fun course,” Mickey said, “and we’ve been ther before so it should be good.”

Once the Arkansas meet is over, Mickey and the Red Raiders will look toward the Big 12 Conference Championships in November. @EvCorder_DT
