ince he accepted the reins to the horse Fearless Champion as Texas Tech’s Masked Rider for this year, Charlie Snider has gone through months of preparation leading up to his first charge across the football field.

Stephanie Rhode, the Spirit Program director, said Snider has attended 115 appearances, and the football season has not even started.

“My summer has been filled with parades, rodeos, TTAA golf tournaments, dinners and many other amazing events,” Snider said. “We have traveled all over West Texas and as far-off as East Texas.”

A junior animal sciences major from Corinth, Snider said he has been passionate about horses since he was 13 years old.

Snider has also been a member

Rhode said it was important to get Fearless Champion accustomed to being around people and train him to be calm during the chaos of football games.

“As we get ready for football season, Fearless and I spend the majority of our days together preparing,” Snider said. “I have to ride Fearless every day to make sure he is ready and in shape to lead the team onto the field.”

Recent Tech graduate to compete Black Lives Matter participate in local peaceful protest

By LINDA HARDWICKE in world championship duathlon Staff Writer

By ALEXIS CARDEN Staff Writer

Running is not an easy task for the typical person, but Jenna Hay is not a typical girl. She can run for miles and cross the finish line without giving up. After finishing a race, she will be catching her breath with a huge smile on her face.

Hay is soon to be on her way to Switzerland to compete in the Powerman Zofingen Duathlon World Championships after winning her national title last year.

Hay said she was excited when she won the opportunity to compete internationally, since she had only been racing since summer 2014. The only reason her racing career began was out of wanting to do something new during a summer between her college semesters at Texas Tech.

Hay is a recent graduate of Tech from

North Richland Hills with a degree in agricultural communications. During her time at Tech, Hay said she was involved in several organizations that paved the way for her recent accomplishments. Ironically, Hay did not join any sports clubs her first few years at Tech.

During the past year and a half, Hay began to take part in Ultimate Frisbee and became a member of the mixed martial arts club and Triathlon Team, she said. Hay was also active outside of the university and was a member of the West Texas Cycling Team and the West Texas Running Club.

Before she gained any titles, Hay had been racing for a short time. Hay said she took part in her first race two years ago in West Virginia. One day while she was out shopping, she saw a flier advertising a triathlon that was to go on nearby.

From 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday, at the intersection of 19th Street and University Avenue, a peaceful demonstration took place at the Tim Cole Memorial Park.

Lubbock residents passed by members of Lubbock’s Black Lives Matter movement protestors holding signs along the curb.

The Lubbock Police Department helped ensure safety at the event, said Daniel Bontempo, research professor at the Institute for Measurement, Methodology, Analysis and Policy at Tech.

“There are some patrol cars going by and there are some unmarked cars,” Bontempo said.

A counter-protester came to the event and held signs such as “Cop Killers Go Home,” “Please Don’t Burn Our City” and “BLM=Hate.”

College creates new business major

By REECE NATIONS Staff Writer

A new bachelor’s program in supply chain management will be offered starting next semester at the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration.

Formerly a concentration, the major is estimated to have 40 students enrolled in its first year, said Rodney Thomas, area coordinator

of Marketing and Supply Chain Management.

The program was proposed by Thomas, who cited statistics from the United States Department of Labor’s Occupational Outlook Handbook that predicts supply chain management jobs for 2021-2022 to increase 22 percent with the addition of 27,600 jobs.

“This new program will open more career opportunities for incoming students,” Thomas said.

“This is one of the fastest growing, most high-demand fields right now.”

The job-placement rate for supply chain majors is 100 percent currently, he said.

With an average starting salary of $52,176 for graduates of this program, it is growing more competitive, Thomas said. The expected enrollment in the new major is projected to grow to around 100 students by its fifth year.

“It was a combination of curiosity and ambition that got me involved in supply

chain management,” Matt Rosas, a senior from San Antonio, said. “One of the things that I really like about this major is the numerous career options it gives you.”

Rosas will be one of the first students to graduate with a bachelor ’s in the new program.

The focus of the major is to teach students about business operations, Rosas said. They learn how to be the crossroads of white collar and blue collar workers and get some management perspective, as well.

The major will train students in effective communication, collaboration and coordination across functional and organizational boundaries, Thomas said.

He will be instructing the new courses along with Stephanie Thomas, assistant professor of marketing, who holds a doctorate in logistics and supply chain management, and Stephen Rutner, a professor of practice in the college who holds a doctorate in logistics and transportation.

Stephanie Thomas is also Rodney Thomas’ wife.

There are also plans to add a fourth faculty member to expand the program in 2017, Rodney Thomas said.

“The reason why this change was made is because it’s easier to explain to employers,” Josie Ripley, a senior in the business college, said. “’I’m a marketing major with a concentration in supply chain management’ doesn’t sound as good as ‘I’m a supply chain management major.’”

Supply chain management is the process of delivering products to consumers in the most efficient way possible, Ripley said. Two of the program’s major focuses are efficiency and effectiveness.

“You can do so much with a supply chain degree,” Dayna DeBeau, president of Tech Supply Chain Association and a senior from Round Rock said. “Now it’s easier to gain the experience you need to become more attractive to employers.”

Students who apply for the major must have at least a 3.2 GPA to take the introductory courses. The prestige of the program is what makes it so appealing to incoming students, DeBeau said.

“So much growth is going on at (the college of business)” DeBeau said. “With the new addition of this new major, big steps are being taken for this college.” @ReeceNationsDT

Amazon location set to open in September Textbooks can be a hassle for college students, so Amazon is bringing a pickup location close to Texas Tech this semester.

The location will operate as all Amazon stores across the country do. It will be fully staffed and ready to cater to the Lubbock community.

The location is expected to open sometime in September, according to a news release from Business Wire. The location will be 2,700 square feet and located near campus at 2407 9th St. Amazon Prime members can utilize the facility to pick-up packages for one-day shipping or return items.

Students who are not prime members can sign-up for a free six-month trial using their university email, according to the Amazon website.

After the free trial, students receive a 50 percent discount on Prime membership.

Students typically use Amazon to look for cheap deals on their textbooks or electronics, according to the website.

Although it is a quick-deal and cheap-buy, students are sometimes unaware of the conditions of their purchases until they arrive in the mail.

“We’ve seen so many issues ordering books from Amazon, with no access codes or the right edition,” Amanda

drive by and see our signs and then see that someone took the trouble to go out and ‘Nuhuh’ — that’s going to start a conversation in the head of the observer,” Bontempo said.

It was imperative for the group that as many people as they could get went to show support for justice, Lala Chavez, a protestor at the event, said. There is a need for justice in the system.

Chavez works as the school board trustee for Lubbock

Independent School District.

“Letting people know that (unity) does happen here in Lubbock, Texas. That’s why we’re here — to show folks that we have unity with each other,” Chavez said.

Di Poppa commented on posts removed from the group’s Facebook event and said some people felt it was their duty to remind people All Lives Matter.

“As if we didn’t know that, and that this is going to be something damaging to the city of Lubbock,” di Poppa said. “I don’t see any damage being done. So yeah, we got a few of those, but I’ve got to say the reaction has been

mostly positive, and that’s really good news to me.”

Laura Deurmyer, the initiator of the idea to have a BLM movement in Lubbock, said she created the Facebook event and invited her friends, who in-turn invited their friends and so on.

“There isn’t such a thing as Blue Lives Matter, because you’re only blue 40, maybe more, hours of the week; I’m black 24/7 — Black Lives Matter,” Ebony Hollomau, a spoken word artist at the event, said.

“And if you’re going against it, you’re part of the problem because black skin is not a crime.”

Musical theater program opens new doors

By DAVID GAY L a Vida Editor

Different types of theater are prevalent in popular culture. Several plays incorporate stories through actors performing as their characters. There may be some singing and dancing involved, but in most plays, those things do not normally happen. In musical theater, however, performers have to combine their acting, singing and their dancing abilities into one enjoyable performance.

The Texas Tech School of Theatre and Dance started their new degree program, a bachelor’s of fine arts in musical theater, on Monday. Bill Gelber, associate professor of theater, said the school has been waiting to have a program like this for years.

Many students being recruited for Tech ask about a musical theater program, Gelber said.

Students are interested in the program because the skills learned from performing musical theater are marketable.

“The goal (for this program) is to train musical theater performers who

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Snider serves as the 55th Masked Rider and is only the fourth to have the honor of riding-in with Fearless Champion, according to the Tech Spirit Program website.

“I see Fearless first in the morning before anyone else, and most days he’s the last thing I see before going home for the day,” Snider said. “Fearless becomes one of your best friends.”

Mackenzie White was the Masked Rider and represented Tech from 2014-2015. White said the training to become the Masked Rider occurs over one’s entire lifetime.

can go and get jobs in their field,” Gelber said. “(Students) are acting, singing and dancing. It feels like, (through this program), we are marrying all those elements together.”

Ronald Dean Nolen, head of acting and directing in the School of Theatre and Dance, helped develop this degree program, Gelber said. As a former Broadway actor, Nolen shares his different experiences with the students in the degree program.

“It’s exciting to offer first-hand experience in addition to theory and in addition to all the other courses that are available,” Nolen said. “We understand the rigors of this business. As teaching artists, we have the responsibility to teach the next generation, to share that craft and the technique with the next generation.”

Gelber said teachers with experience in the field provide students with tips and advice to succeed as professional actors.

Nolen previously developed a similar musical theater program at Hardin-Simmons University, Gelber said. It is a popular

degree plan that is being devel oped at di ffer ent colleges and universities across the nation.

The program will remain small. At only 12 students, Nolen said he wants to focus on quality rather than quantity.

“We will maintain a small number,” he said.

“It becomes an intimate program where special attention is given to each person, and it makes life much easier in terms of training. We are devoted more to developing individual artists and giving them the foundation that they need to go and make a living in this industry.”

New students are auditioning for the program this week, Gelber said.

Students who were in the college last year and wanted to switch to the new degree plan had a chance to audition in March.

Each student auditioned with a singing audition, an acting monologue and had to learn a dance combination, Gelber said. Students were auditioning for the four plays of the year.

According to the Tech Theatre and Dance website,

“Heathers: The Musical” is the first play the students will perform in October.

Their auditions will determine if they get a part in the only musical of the year.

Nolen said he thinks the degree plan will grow the College of Theatre and

“The job not only requires excellence in equestrian ability,” White said, “but also excellent communication and organizational skills.”

Rhode said Snider embodies all the values of this university with his honest, hard-working and integrity-driven demeanor.

“When people think of the Masked Rider, they think of football,” Rhode said, “but it’s so much more than that. It’s a big job and a lot of responsibility for a student.”

White said it is hard to know what to expect before the first football game appearance because there is nothing else in the world quite like it.

“My advice to Charlie would be to pause every so often and remember the magnitude of what he is doing,” White said. “Children, students, alumni and fans look at the Masked Rider with a sense of awe. I still do.”

Snider will make his football debut on Saturday as the Red Raiders go head-to-head against the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks at Jones AT&T Stadium, according to the Tech Athletics website.

“My goal is to be a positive impact on as many fans that I can in the short year I get to wear the scarlet cape and black mask,” he said.

“I love being the Masked Rider. I would not trade it for the world.”

Charlie Snider, a junior animal science major from Corinth, became the 55th Masked Rider at the Transfer of Reins ceremony on April 15 at the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center.

“This degree plan is so well put together,” Gelber said. “It’s not going

Chris Brown arrested on suspicion of assault with deadly weapon in California LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police arrested singer Chris Brown on Tuesday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after a woman called hours earlier from outside his Los Angeles home and said she needed help.

The arrest followed an hours-long standoff and lengthy search of Brown's home after police pro duced a search warrant.

Baylee Curran told the Los Angeles Times that Brown had pointed a gun at her face in his home early Tuesday.

She said Brown and another man at his home became angry with her when she admired the man's diamond necklace.

Curran said she and her friend ran outside as one of Brown's associates gave chase and hid under a neighbor's SUV. She hasn't responded to requests for comment from The Associated Press.

E a r l i e r, B r o w n s e n t messages via social media proclaiming his innocence and rebuffing reports that he had barricaded himself in his home.

"I don't care. Y'all gonna stop playing with me like I'm the villain out here, like I'm going crazy," he said in one Instagram video Tuesday, waving a cigarette and looking at the camera. "When you get the warrant or whatever you need to do, you're going to walk right up in here and you're going to see nothing. You idiots."

Officers first responded to his hilltop estate around 3 a.m. Tuesday after a woman called for help from outside the residence. Po-

lice Lt. Chris Ramirez did not identify the woman or elaborate on the assistance she needed. He did not know if she was injured.

Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, arrived at the house shortly before pol i c e s e rv e d t he s ear c h warrant. Geragos has not responded to AP's request for comment.

Brown has been in repeated legal trouble since his felony conviction in

the 2009 assault of his then-girlfriend, Rihanna.

After several missteps, Brown completed his probation in the assault case last year.

In 2013, Brown struck a man outside a Washington, D.C., hotel and was charged with misdemeanor assault. The singer was ordered into rehab but was dismissed from the facility for violating its rules.

Christians should support BLM M

y arms feel weak. As I click through the Black Lives Matter movement’s website, I am overwhelmed with grief.

Each article the BLM group has elected to publish on their website is accompanied by a picture, a hashtag or an emotionally charged quote.

It all adds up to something more than just a movement. It adds up to something more than just some posters and marching around streets and towns.

What our newspapers and Twitter accounts report is only the surface of this story.

On its website, I see childhood photographs of lost loved ones. I see posters lined with the names of those victimized. It seems

impossible to disregard this movement’s validity while knee-deep in its yellow and black webpages.

So, I look at the deeper side of this story: the heartbrokenness which has spurred every protest and rally. It is hard to look past the belligerence of a movement which doesn’t shy from acting brashly for media attention. However, I have realized we need to wonder why they desire such attention.

I don’t think I understood the weight of this movement

or its underlying forces until recently, if I am honest. I hadn’t quite comprehended the need for such a movement or its importance.

We must be willing to listen to the voices of those around us, even if the are saying the things we hesitate to say.

Two weeks ago, I sat at a picnic table with five other girls discussing our nation’s relationship with racial controversy. We were at camp.

over responding in Christlike ways to racial tensions.

As the dust settled over that sermon, we realized how undeniably insensitive our nation encourages us to be.

We realized closed borders, armed responses and hardened hearts are not the way to live peacefully and love the way we are called to.

Sometimes, it seems so difficult to acknowledge problems that don’t hurt me directly. I find myself fearfully rejecting the pleas of those who are persecuted, even though I am biblically instructed to embrace those who suffer.

So, as I sat at that picnic table, moths humming around me, I realized that the Black Lives Matter move-

ment is not about a handful of questionable deaths or the verdict of a court case. The Black Lives Matter movement is about far, far more.

It is a cry from our friends, our neighbors, our colleagues and our fellow Americans to listen to their broken hearts. It is a desperate demand for attention. It is a hope that the discrimination that I cannot feel, but one that constantly afflicts our black brothers and sisters, will be addressed.

Living free from the weight of such a burden does not exempt me from my responsibility to acknowledge it. That is the key here.

We must be willing to listen to the voices of those around us, even if they are saying

the things we hesitate to say.

I understand it isn’t easy to do this, and I understand the support for the BLM movement isn’t abundant in many southern states.

However, that is absolutely something we can change.

We are actively contributing to our country’s image, and I believe it would be so powerful to make that image a more accepting one.

There is no harm that comes from being loving.

Sure, we could respond to these protests with love only to have the result be violence, but the calamity would still be sourced from misplaced anger and deeply wounded hearts. aaiken@dailytoreador.com

Student argues against Fall recruitment process being politically correct more than one expects

n recent years, social movements have cropped-up that cater to any and all belief systems. Feminism, Black Lives Matter, body-positivity and transgender awareness are all recent examples of such movements.

Conveniently, social media has given the zealous champions of these movements a forum with which to expel their passionate rhetoric onto the masses.

Civil protest has a rich history in this beautiful nation, as our very founding was a direct result of protestation of the abuses of rights taken by the English king toward his subjects. Our founders knew the importance of free speech and civil protest and, as such, made the prerequisite right of all citizens of their new country the ability to decry and criticize their rulers and law-makers.

Protesting the discrimination of blacks, gays and other minorities is still practiced today, obviously. However, as society is growing more and more progressive and tolerant — rightfully so — new legions of socialjustice warriors are selflessly taking up the torch to further some relatively new social movements.

Ignatius Horstmann is a sophomore history major from West Chester, Pennsylvania.

A generation of kids grew up with the philosophy that everyone was a winner and, as such, deserved a trophy. Therefore, it is really no surprise that recent additions to our vocabulary such as safe space, hate speech, bodyshaming and patriarchal oppression are used on a daily basis.

Conveniently, social media has given the zealous champions of these movements a forum with which to expel their passionate rhetoric onto the masses.

Social activism is everyone’s new favorite hobby and any taste can be satisfied with the wide assortment of social causes available to the burgeoning Social Justice Warrior, or SJW. “Tolerance for all!”

“Acceptance for all!”

Well, not really. Today’s social tolerance dominated by liberal media extends only so far. Look, I have no problem with civil protest.

It’s wonderful. What drives me nuts is the inconsistencies of the argument for universal acceptance.

SJWs love to point out Christianity’s history of female oppression and condemnation of homosexuality because of certain churches’ opposition to abortion and gay marriage, but if you mention Sharia’s current extreme views on both of these same issues, we could very well be labeled ignorant Islamaphobes or bigots. I do not understand.

Disagree with abortion?

You hate women. Acknowledge Islamic Jihadism?

Xenophobic warmonger.

You are not overweight?

Thin-privilege — that’s actually a thing.

The point is, many “progressives” believe in openmindedness and tolerance for all. Except, if you disagree with them, then you’re just an ignorant bigot.

What is the answer you may ask? I have no clue.

ecently there’s been a lot of talk about sorority recruitment.

Whether someone is making fun of a recruitment video or swearing up and down we’re just “buying our friends,” people seem to have nothing positive to say about the recruitment process. We’re all just a bunch of crazy girls — stacking doors, throwing glitter, chanting and singing songs about how long we’ve been waiting for those fresh, out-of-high-school freshmen.

Right?

Well, what if I told you that it was more than that?

What if I told you there was a method to our madness?

When I went through recruitment, I had no idea what to expect. As the first Greek in my family, I had no frame of reference. I was going in blind. So, on the first day when the doors opened to the sorority house, and I saw those girls singing with a perfectly dainty golf clap, I was nothing less than surprised.

What was happening? Why were they chanting at me?

Did they ever stop smiling?

I walked inside and was immediately welcomed into what can only be described as an extreme form of speeddating. With less than 30 minutes to get to know someone, you tend to jump right in.

Haley Britzky is a senior journalism major from Trophy Club.

“Tell me about yourself.”

“What did you do this summer?”

“What are you majoring in, and how did you decide on that?”

I had nearly the same kind of conversation 11 times that day.

I say 11 because there was one house that was different — the house that I ended-up joining. When the doors opened to that 12th house, suddenly it wasn’t chanting and clapping I saw, but girls that were excited to see me, eager to know me and more than happy to welcome me home.

You see, the sorority method seems strange until it just, well, doesn’t. That’s when you know you’re in the right place — when you feel comfortable and excited enough to come back.

Rush week is easy to make fun of. I get it. It’s a crazy process, and we’ll all tell you that. I laugh about it with my friends that aren’t in Greek life because I understand it seems outrageous from the outside.

But it’s fun and it works and that’s the point. For the girls going through recruitment, it’s an exciting time

during which they’re finding a solid group of friends for the next four years.

These incoming freshmen are usually scared to be on their own for the first time and worried about the massive sense of uncertainty that accompanies college.

However, going through rush week is the first step towards finding that home away from home.

Even if you don’t end up joining a chapter, you’ve made friends along the way.

You’ve pushed yourself out of your comfort zone for an entire week — all while wearing extremely uncomfortable heels, might I add.

If you can do that, you can do just about anything.

So yes, we like glitter, we smile a lot, do chants at the door, and Bid Day actually seems like a bigger deal than Christmas sometimes.

However, we have our hearts in it because we love our organizations. We do it because we’re so excited to share with others the sisterhood we’ve fallen completely in love with.

At the end of the day, remember, no one excels in small talk and job interviews the way a sorority woman does and we have recruitment to thank for that. hbritzky@dailytoreador.com

Politics, shootings undercut criminal justice overhaul WASHINGTON (AP) — Hopes for overhaulig the nation’s criminal justice system have faded in Congress this year, undercut by a rash of summer shootings involving police and the pressure of election-year politics.

Republicans, including Majority Whip John Cornyn of Texas and Utah Sen. Mike Lee, had joined forces with Democrats in hopes of revising the 1980s and ‘90s-era federal “tough on crime” laws by reducing some mandatory sentences for low-level drug offenders and giving judges greater

discretion in sentencing. The goal is to reduce overcrowding in the nation’s prisons and save taxpayer dollars.

In 1980, the federal prison population was less than 25,000. Today, it is more than 200,000.

The bipartisan group encountered fierce opposition from some Republicans who argue reform could increase crime and pose a greater danger to law enforcement. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump hasn’t commented on the pending legislation but has dubbed himself the “law-and-order candidate”

for what he calls a country in crisis, with terrorism in cities and attacks on police.

With Republicans deeply divided, one man could break the legislative deadlock: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who has not indicated whether he supports the effort. If inaction is telling, McConnell so far has declined to put the legislation to vote, suggesting he doesn’t want a messy intraparty fight before the November election.

Unlike McConnell, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., strongly supports an overhaul and may bring up a series of

bipartisan House bills in September to reduce mandatory sentences and boost rehabilitation programs.

An unusual coalition — President Barack Obama, the American Civil Liberties Union and the conservative Koch Industries — says the system is broken and supports changes. Obama has made it a priority in his last year.

But Ryan and Obama have a tough job in winning over McConnell, who must deal with opponents such as Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and a handful of other Senate Republicans.

Supporters are also battling the calendar; Congress is only in session a few weeks before Obama leaves office.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton supports the effort, but if she wins it’s unclear whether there would be momentum for the overhaul in her busy first year in office.

Cotton calls the Senate bill “a dangerous experiment in criminal leniency” that would let violent criminals out of prison.

Supporters say the legislation would do the opposite, making communities safer by focusing on rehabilita-

tion and preserving police resources. Mark Holden of Koch Industries, which has backed the Senate and House bills, points to states that have successfully put similar reforms in place.

Proponents argue that there’s no direct connection between the overhaul and this summer’s shootings of black men in Minneapolis and Baton Rouge — or the shooting of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge — since the measures would primarily deal with incarceration of low-level drug offenders and rehabilitation programs.

RAIDER WELCOME

Local musicians perform at diversity event

By ALYSSA ACOSTA Staff Writer

The robust sound of the singer ’s voice rose above the trill of the trumpets and sweet sound of violins as the Texas Tech mariachi band Los Matadores played its first concert of the semester at the Cross-Cultural Academic Advancement Center’s Diversity in Music event.

The concert was all about helping students of different cultures adjust to college life by having local musicians and bands perform for Raider Welcome, Jeremy Sedeño, unit coordinator for the center, said.

“I think it’s very important to have this event during Raider Welcome,” Sedeño said, “because that is when our big freshmen population come in and they are getting acclimated to campus.”

Showcasing and honoring the diversity on campus through music is a great way to bring awareness to new students about the different cultures Tech is made up of, Sedeño said.

DUATHLON

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Hay said she began to remember how she had been going out on a limb and doing things she had never done before that summer.

So, Hay put on a brave face and went for it.

When Hay finished third in her age group in her first race, she said, she was hooked.

“I got addicted to the feeling of racing,” Hay said.

Because of her newly found love, Hay immediately joined the triathlon team once she came back to Tech that fall, she said. She became dedicated to the team and all of the athletic

The event is also important for freshmen to see upperclassmen go out there, perform and be proud of their cultures, said Sarah Shiver, director for the Cross-Cultural Academic Advancement Center.

It is important for freshmen to see older students who are more comfortable with themselves perform in front of the crowd, so that they can follow their example, Shiver said.

Participating in the event were students and members of the local community who wanted to share their music with a new audience, Shiver said.

Freshmen looking for something interesting to do or something new to experience, found the concert to be a great way for showcasing the different cultures in the community, said Gil Caley, a freshman electrical engineering major from Watauga.

“I saw the event on Raider Welcome and thought it was a great way to broaden our horizons,” Caley said.

Even though it did not have even a single rehearsorganizations she was a member of.

Katie Fehr, a senior music education major from Lubbock and Hay’s friend, said she noticed the change in Hay’s behavior, as well. “(Hay) became really driven and focused,” Fehr said. “When she started doing racing, that was like, her main goal.”

Not all the times in Hay’s newly found athletic hobby were perfect. This past March, Hay considered quitting triathlon after donating blood and becoming anemic, she said. She could not train for triathlon and became frustrated.

Around that time, Hay said she also got her lowest ever place in a race.

ALLISON LING/The Daily Toreador

Mariachi Los Matadores perform at the Diversity in Music Concert on Tuesday evening in the Matador Room of the Student Union Building. The event was a part of Raider Welcome and featured a variety of local musicians. al before the concert, Los Matadores entertained the audience by performing various Spanish songs and performing at its top potential, Caley said.

K a i t l y n M c k i n n e y, a freshman mechanical en-

gineering major from New Braunfels, said students appreciated hearing different genres of music including techno, jazz, hip-hop and mariachi.

“I like listening to all kinds of music, even music

in foreign languages,” Mckinney said. “So, this seemed like a really fun event to come to.”

Preparing for this event involved reaching out to lots of artists, which had to happen before finalizing

the lineup for the concert, Shiver said.

“Putting this event together was fun, but also stressful,” Sedeño said, “In the end, it is worth it to see students having fun.”

“I had my worst race ever,” Hay said. “I finished almost dead last because I just could not run.”

pete in the Long Course Duathlon National Championship. If Hay placed high enough, she could secure herself a spot to compete in the World Championships in Switzerland.

At the National Championship, Hay crossed the finish line first in her age group, she said. Because of her finish, she earned a spot in the World Championships.

After gaining her national title and paying for her spot in the race, Hay began doing some research over the World Championships, she said.

During her research, she said she found out something interesting.

“I’m the youngest competitor in this race,” she

said. “It’s usually the people in their 30s and 40s who are really talented at endurance races.”

Hay said she also found out the race would be unlike like her regular ones.

According to the Powerman Zofingen Duathlon’s website, this specific competition has the toughest duathlon track in the entire world.

Hay said she will represent at this race not only her age group, but also the United States.

She is excited about every factor of the upcoming race and Switzerland.

Hay will arrive several days early in Switzerland to acclimate her body to the altitude as well as for some

sightseeing, she said.

Days before the race, Hay will participate in an Olympic-like ceremony where the competitors from each country walk around an arena and wave as people cheer, she said.

Hay said she thinks this will be an exciting way to meet other international athletes like herself. However, meeting other fellow competing duathletes is not the only thing she is excited for.

Her main excitement is the thought of finishing the race completely.

“I can’t stop thinking about crossing the finish line,” Hay said. “It is all I’ve been thinking about.”

I’m the youngest competitor in this race. It’s usually the people in their 30s and 40s who are really talented at endurance races.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Invasive weeds have long threatened to erode dunes on a portion of the Chicago lakefront, but the area recently had to contend with a virtual invasion: “Pokemon Go” characters.

The game sends players into the real world in search of digital monsters that appear on smartphone screens to be caught, and hundreds of people have been flocking to the Loyola Dunes restoration area to find the hard-to-get “Lapras.” But in their quest to find the rare creature, players have been walking over native grassland critical to protecting the dunes

Historic flight from US to Cuba set to take off this week FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The first commercial flight between the United States and Cuba in more than a half century is scheduled to fly from Fort Lauderdale to the central city of Santa Clara on Wednesday morning, reestablishing regular air service severed at the height of the Cold War. JetBlue Flight 387 was set to take off at 9:45 a.m. EDT for a 72-minute journey that will open a new era of U.S.Cuba travel, with more than 400 flights a week connecting the U.S. with an island cut off from most Americans by the 55-year-old trade embargo on Cuba and formal ban on U.S. citizens engaging in tourism on the island.

“Seeing the American airlines landing routinely around the island will drive a sense of openness, integration and normality. That has a huge psychological impact,” said Richard Feinberg, author of the new

The restart of commercial travel between the two countries is one of the most important steps in President Barack Obama’s two-year-old policy of normalizing relations with the island.

The heavy foot-traffic became so worrisome to environmentalists that proposed legislation seeks to get certain sites removed from the game so players are only disturbing the virtual Pokemon characters and not ecologically sensitive areas in their quest to catch them.

“It should not be tram-

Cassidy’s bill would require app developers to remove locations in augmented reality games within two days of receiving a request to do so or face a daily fine of $100.

Kingsbury names starters for upcoming game

By ARIANA HERNANDEZ Staff Writer

Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury recently released the depth chart for Saturday’s game against Stephen F. Austin.

Among the headlines of the lineup are two freshmen linebackers and a freshman offensive tackle.

Redshirt freshman right tackle Terence Steele will start on Saturday. Steele has received positive attention from the public.

Steele attended Steele High School in San Antonio and ended his high school career in 2014 with 42 pancakes and 55 knockdowns, according to Steele’s biography on the Tech Athletics Website.

Junior quarterback Nic Shimonek will be the backup quarterback to junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes II. Kingsbury said Shimonek impressed him over fall camp.

“He protected the ball well,” Kingsbury said. “He has a high completion percentage. He’s gotten more and more comfortable.”

Shimonek saw the field twice last season against UTEP and Iowa State. He came out of the 2016 spring camp listed as the backup

Stockton will be the starting running back this season for the Red Raiders. quarterback on the depth chart, according to the Tech Athletics website.

Junior running back Justin Stockton and senior wide receiver Devin Lau-

derdale will be starting at Saturday’s game.

Kingsbury said Stockton became one of the most explosive players in the country last season.

He played in all 13 games in 2015 and was the only Red Raider to score in the first four games of the season, according to the website.

Monday after practice Stockton said he is nervous but also excited for the upcoming game against the Lumberjacks.

Last season, the Red Raiders had running back DeAndre Washington.

However, Washington was drafted in the 2016 NFL Draft. Stockton said he and the other running backs have big shoes to fill.

“It’s always a lot of pressure not only for me but for the rest of the running backs,” Stockton said. “We’re always competing and pushing each other to be great.”

Junior wide receiver Ian Sadler and senior wide receiver Reginald Davis III are also set to start. According to statistics, Sadler was one of Mahomes’ top receiving options in 2015.

Sadler caught 42 passes

for 596 yards and made seven starts at inside receiver last season.

Sadler said last week after practice he was ready for camp to be over and game week to get started.

Just getting into game prep is a nice feeling. Game days are a great feeling.

I’m ready for it to be here.

IAN SADLER RECEIVER “Just getting into game prep is a nice feeling,” Sadler said. “Game days are a great feeling. I’m ready for it to be here.”

As for the defensive side, senior defensive tackle Ondre Pipkins will start on Saturday and will join sophomore Breiden Fehoko as the second de-

fensive tackle.

Junior Gary Moore and sophomore Kolin Hill are set to make the start on the ends of the defensive lines.

Fehoko started at defensive tackle in all 13 games of his freshman season last year. Fehoko compiled four tackles for loss, a sack and an interception, according to the website.

As a sophomore, Moore appeared in 11 games last season with one start.

He had 13 tackles in 2015, four of which were for a loss.

Sophomore Clayton Hatfield will be kicking off for the Red Raiders Saturday.

Hatfield finished the 2015 season 53-for-54 on extra point attempts and 14-for-16 on field goals and led the Big 12 Conference in field goal percentage.

Senior strong safety Keenon Ward will start this weekend with sophomore strong safety Payton Hendrix as his backup.

Ward ranked seventh on the team with 60 tackles last season and made seven starts. He started in the first five games at safety in 2015.

After practice last week, starting sophomore free safety Jah’Shawn Johnson talked about his good friendship with Ward that transitions on the playing field.

“We’re very close,” Johnson said. “We have a great friendship on and off the field. We communicate very well on the field, making sure everyone’s on the right page.”

As the first game of the season approaches, Kingsbury said the fall camp prepared the Red Raiders in numerous ways.

Kingsbury said the camaraderie on the team has been the fun part for him to watch grow this spring and fall.

“I think that it’s a very selfless team,” he said, “guys pushing each other, h o l d i n g e a c h o t h e r a ccountable, cheering for each other, not cheering for others to fail, so they can move up from their position groups.” @TheDT_Sports

Harr shows talent early on for Red Raiders

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Staff Writer

Freshman midfielder Jordie Harr is a new addition to the Texas Tech soccer team this season and has made an early presence on the field.

In Harr’s first game as a Red Raider, the freshman scored two goals. She led Tech to the win over New Mexico 2-1.

Stone said her precision with the ball and explosive playing ability helped the Red Raiders in both of their wins this season.

Even before she played as a Red Raider, Harr had several accomplishments on the soccer field.

Harr said her love for the game first began when she was 4 years old, and she has been on the field ever since.

Prior to her collegiate career, Harr played for the nationally acclaimed Dallas Sting Soccer Club and for her high school team in Sachse, according to her biography on the Tech Athletics website.

While playing for the Dallas Sting club, she was named two-time NSCAA All-American and won 2014

ECNL National Championship, according to the website. But, that is not all Harr has achieved.

According to the website, Harr has been a member of the U.S. Youth National Team program since 2012.

“That was probably my greatest accomplishment,” Harr said. “It was a really great experience to play for the Youth National Team.”

The freshman midfielder was also with the U.S. U-20 national team where she competed in the World Cup qualifier.

According to the website, she was named 2016 National Elite Prep Showcase MVP for her efforts on the field.

Harr had a strong outing with six goals and two assist showing.

According to the website, Harr was a dominant threat to her opponents. Harr connected on 66 goals in her last two seasons alone. As a junior, she collected 27 goals and had 19 assists.

According the website, in her 2014-2015 season, Harr was named the District 11-6A Offensive Player of the Year for her efforts.

Stone said he is pleased with Harr ’s performance and being a Red Raider could drive her talents even higher.

Tech moves up in rankings UCLA QB Rosen not fazed with crowd noise at A&M

For the 17th straight week, the Texas Tech soccer team maintained a spot in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America rankings, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Tech, which moved up one spot to No. 15 on Tuesday, currently has a 3-0-1 record with its lone draw coming from a 2-2 final against Arizona.

In their match following the draw, the Red

Raiders defeated the Northeastern Huskies at home with junior forward Natalie Schmutz scoring her first career goal with the Red Raiders and freshman forward Jade King marking the second of a 2-0 win.

The win over Northeastern brought senior goalkeeper Lauren Watson’s career shutout total just 7.5 away from tying the all-time program total at 21.5 shutouts.

Tech has another opportunity to continue climbing in the national rankings with a meeting against No. 19 California, who sits at a 3-1-0 record.

Baylor receiver Zamora suspended WACO (AP) — Baylor sophomore receiver Ishmael Zamora has been suspended for the first three games of the season after a video surfaced of him beating his dog with a belt this summer.

Zamora apologized for his actions, saying he was sorry that he took out his frustrations on his dog.

“This incident will never, ever, happen again,” Zamora said in a statement released by the school Tuesday. “I truly love my dog, however, I know that my actions showed differently and I know that I made a big mistake. I apologize to my family, teammates, Baylor University and our fans for my actions.”

When Zamora was listed as a starting receiver on the initial depth chart released Monday, acting head coach Jim Grobe said then that he was waiting for university officials before determining discipline after Waco police charged Zamora with a misdemeanor in the animal abuse case.

Grobe said Tuesday that the program does not condone that sort of behavior by anyone, and worked with university officials to hold Zamora accountable for his actions.

“We have received communications about this incident from many passionate individuals over the past 10 days, and I am aware of their concerns,” Grobe said. “Our goal is for this discipline to be

educational and restorative, and I believe that we have taken corrective measures to help Ishmael learn from his actions and to better understand the behavior we demand of all students at the university.”

Grobe got to Baylor in May after two-time Big 12 champion coach Art Briles was suddenly dismissed following the release of a report alleging that the university mishandled complaints of sexual assault, including some against football players.

The school’s president and athletic director also left after that.

Since arriving, Grobe has said players would be held accountable for any off-field issues.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen doesn’t expect to be bothered by one of the biggest, loudest crowds in college football when the Bruins open their season at Texas A&M on Saturday.

Kyle Field can hold 102,733, the fourth-largest capacity of any American stadium. Midnight Yell Practice is a college football tradition, as tens of thousands of fans attend an event the night before games that is equal parts pep rally and instructional seminar on how to make as much noise as possible.

But Rosen isn’t worried about the No. 16 Bruins’ ears when they visit the Aggies.

“I mean, after like 50,000 it all sounds the same — or doesn’t sound the same, because you really don’t hear anything,” Rosen said. “The best example is against Utah (last season). We scored the

son’s opener against Arizona State, while defensive tackle Daylon Mack had 9.5 tackles for loss as a freshman.

Yet Rosen wouldn’t arbitrarily rank the Texas A&M defensive line above or below any other he faced last season. He did hint that UCLA plans to go after a run defense that allowed 213.7 yards rushing per game, 107th in the FBS and second-to-last in the SEC. “They’re as good as a lot of teams we played,” Rosen said. “I think we’re going to have an advantage or an ability to run the football this year to be able to neutralize that. We think there are a few chinks in their armor that we are going to be able to exploit. They are never as good as they are hyped up to be or never as bad as people say they are, so you’ve always got to respect the defense, but don’t overor under-respect them.”

Despite an offseason’s worth of focus on his actions away from the field rather than his 3,668 yards passing and 23 touchdowns as a freshman, Rosen was his usual outspoken self on Tuesday when questioned about everything from the touted Texas A&M pass rush to star Aggies wide receiver Christian Kirk to the mustache the sophomore is currently growing.
