Ride On

Texas Tech ICC to open new photo exhibit Friday The International Cultural Center will host an art reception for a new exhibit known as “My Hometown” on Friday.

The public reception for the photography exhibit will be at the ICC from 4 to 6 p.m., according to a Texas Tech news release.

“As students flock to Texas Tech to begin a new academic year, we sometimes forget that many of our international students have left homes that are thousands of miles away,” Jane Bell, senior director of outreach and operations for the ICC, said in the release. “The ‘My Hometown’ photo exhibit is our attempt to make these far-away homes seem a bit closer, and we are delighted that we can share these creative, witty and perceptive windows to the world with our community.”

International art students submitted five photos each of their hometown, according to the release.

Subject matter ranges from landscapes to people to objects, according to the release.

The photography exhibit will be displayed from Friday through Oct. 13.

After 60 years, Masked Rider tradition continues

By KRISTEN BARTON Staff Writer

In 1954, Joe Kirk Fulton made Texas Tech history when he rode a horse named Blackie across the football field at the Gator Bowl and created a new tradition: the Masked Rider.

After 60 years, the tradition continues with this year’s Masked Rider, Mackenzie White.

“Over a span of 60 years, there’s only 53 of us,” Bradley Skinner, who served from 2011 to 2012 as the 50th Masked Rider, said. “That’s a small group of elite people on campus. It’s always good to hear stories when they were riders and it’s good to see how much it’s changed. It’s the biggest thing I’ll ever do.”

Former Masked Riders returned Saturday to their alma mater to be honored at the game against Arkansas in a ceremony prior to kickoff.

Of the 53 Masked Riders, 37 of them were able to attend, Stephanie Rhode, director of the Tech Spirit Program, said. Only five riders have died since their time as the official Tech mascot, including Fulton, who died Aug. 1, 2013.

“It’s very emotional for me,” Merle Fulton, Joe Kirk Fulton’s wife, said. “I feel very honored. He always said he never dreamed him riding the horse was going to be a legacy for Tech, and it is. It’s very emotional for me every time I see that horse.”

Victim in Texas rape exoneration recalls case LUBBOCK (AP) — As officials prepare to unveil a statue honoring a man who wrongfully died in prison for a rape conviction, the victim who accidentally misidentified him said she struggles with her own feelings.

Michelle Mallin was a Texas Tech student in 1985 when she was raped at knifepoint in her car. She later picked Tim Cole out of a photo lineup that authorities later said was presented incorrectly.

It wasn’t until after Cole had died in prison that DNA testing revealed who actually committed the rape — a case that led to Cole’s posthumous pardon and statewide reforms meant to prevent wrongful convictions.

“I feel terrible what happened to their son and their brother,” Mallin told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, referring to Cole’s family. “They’ve been really, really nice. I didn’t know if they’d even want to have anything to do with me after everything that happened.”

The Associated Press typically does not identify the victims of sexual assault, but Mallin came forward publicly several years ago to clear Cole’s name and discuss the case.

The city of Lubbock will unveil a statue of Cole this week in a ceremony featuring Gov. Rick Perry and other state officials.

Library introduces Tech graduate student’s play honors Hispanic culture book finder app

By DANI COPELAND Staff Writer

The Texas Tech library has introduced a phone app for students to download if they want to check the availability of a book.

The free app, Book Raider, was created for students to scan a barcode on a book in the library to see how many were left for a student to check out, according to the Tech library website.

The benefits of this new app are for students to be able to check out a book with no hassle, and students are also able to request a book to check out if the library does not have it in stock, according to the website.

Brooklyn Wilson, an undeclared freshman from Plano, said the app is a great invention for students who are trying to check out books in the library.

“I think that it’s extremely useful because it will make checking out books easier,” Wilson said. “You can easily see how many copies are readily available.”

She said the app would be best for students who frequently go to the library and need to check out books for their class projects and would be useful for students if they were to buy textbooks at the bookstore.

She said the app would have helped her when it came to buying textbooks since she had to wait on a new shipment at the beginning of the school year.

Jacob Shaver, a junior exercise and sport sciences major from Wilcox, Arizona, said he agreed with having the app for textbook purchases as well because he has had problems in the past with waiting for weeks on a book that he needed for class.

By ALEXIS NELSON Staff Writer

As her thesis project, Evangeline Jimenez is writing and directing a play called, “Nunca Olvidare,” which translates to “I’ll never forget.”

The play tackles the struggle of identity and what it means to be Hispanic in today’s society, Evangeline Jimenez, writer, director and fine arts and pedagogy graduate student, said.

The play, which debuts at 7 p.m. Oct. 24 in the Student Union building’s Escondido Theatre, was based off growing up in Lubbock as a

Hispanic, she said.

“Well, growing up in this community and being Hispanic myself, I wrote this more because our Hispanic voices aren’t told as much,” she said.

“We have fiestas, we have Cinco de Mayo, we have mariachi, but in terms of Hispanic theater pertaining to Hispanic issues, we don’t really have that.”

The inspiration for the play was based off of Jimenez’s graduate thesis project, which deals with identity and what it means to be Hispanic as defined by each generation, she said.

“I interviewed Hispanic community members

FAX: 806-742-2434

here in the city and really just asked them what their stories were,” she said. “From those interviews I found some common themes pertaining to identity issues and in June the idea and story came together.”

The play and the set hold several key things that define the Hispanic culture, she said.

“Tortilla making, tamale making, hoeing and picking cotton and working in the field, the idea of close community, and traditional Catholic rosary — those are the elements you’ll see,” she said.

Learning Center provides academic success counseling

By DANI COPELAND Staff Writer

The Learning Center in Holden Hall not only provides peer tutoring to Tech students, but also offers one-on-one counseling with a learning specialist for students needing help in achieving academic success.

Stacy Elliott is a licensed professional counselor and a learning specialist who works in the Learning Center under SOAR: Support Operations for Academic Retention.

Patrick Bohn, associate director

of SOAR, said Elliott’s job is to help students with things such as note taking, time management and handling stress.

ELLIOT Since Elliott is a licensed counselor, Bohn said she is able to delve a little deeper in her one-on-one sessions to find personal issues with a student that could be hindering academic

success. From there, she is able to help students manage their semester in order to achieve a successful semester.

“Her biggest thing is if she and the student meet at the beginning of the semester, it’s even better because she will sit down and get the whole semester planned out,” Bohn said.

If students are planning their spring semesters already, Bohn said they can schedule a meeting with Elliott now for next semester so they are better prepared for the spring.

“She’s basically trying to make

the whole puzzle fit,” Bohn said.

Bohn said many students stop by the Learning Center to meet with peers who have already taken the class they are currently struggling in.

The point of the peer tutoring is for students to feel comfortable working with peers who have already taken that course and can help them through it, Bohn said.

This is the first time the Learning Center has publicized Elliott specifically, Bohn said.

The announcement is sent on TechAnnounce, according to TechAnnounce, and refers

students to see Elliott if they need help.

Mitch Boullt, a junior business major from Houston, said he did not know about the Learning Center in Holden.

He has never needed tutoring in his college career, he said, but the Learning Center and meeting with Elliott would be a good solution for students with a heavy workload as well as incoming freshmen.

“I think it’s best for freshmen to go to the Learning Center so they can adjust to college life after being in high school for four years,” Boullt said. “I just think it should

be publicized better for students, especially incoming ones.”

Peer tutoring and one-on-one sessions with Elliot are open to any Tech student, Bohn said.

Students can either make an appointment or come to room 80 in Holden Hall and sign up for a session.

The best time for a student to come in to the Learning Center for a meeting with Elliott is at the beginning of the semester, Bohn said.

Elliott is currently booked until October with students wanting to come and figure out their schedules. ➤➤dcopeland@dailytoreador.com

Texas Tech to host international, independent film series in October

By BREANA COONEY Staff Writer

Texas Tech is hosting a fall season series that will play international films over the next two months.

Robert Peaslee, associate professor of electronic media and chair of the programming committee for the series, said the program will focus on independent international cinema.

The main sponsors for the event are the Thomas Jay Harris Institute for Hispanic and International Communication, Cross Culture Academic Advancement Center and the Department of Journalism and Electronic Media, he said.

After a few of the movie screenings, there will be post discussions to converse about the context within the

film, he said.

“It is almost like DVD extras,” he said.

“You are getting some behind the scenes, some context to PEASLEE the film.

Someone can talk about translation.”

Avant-garde filmmaker Lawrence Jordan will be featured at 7 p.m. Oct. 14 with the showing of the documentary, “Lawrence Jordan: Moments of Illumination,” followed by Jordan’s short film, “Our Lady of the Sphere,” according to a Tech news release.

On Oct. 21, Jordan will present

his work at the International Culture Center, Peaslee said.

“I think that is valuable, particularly when we are able to pair the screening with a post discussion or extras from a panel or a guest that can give you some context that may be unfamiliar in cultural or linguistic terms,” he said.

The screenings are free. To reserve a seat within the auditorium there is a $5 fee, which can be used to pay for food and drink during the film, according to the release.

If there is anyone within the Tech community that is interested in featuring a film they believe an audience would benefit from seeing, the IFS is taking case-by-case requests, Peaslee said.

“We want to hear from the campus community. If they are interested

in bringing a film to campus and it fits our programming desires, and is an independent international film, let us work with you,” he said. “There are a lot of different ways students can get involved.”

Independent international films can provide the audience with a strong educational component in terms of learning about another culture, Peaslee said.

“By watching the films you aren’t learning in the same way you would learn about it from watching the news, or reading the American newspaper,” he said. “It is learning about another culture from an insider’s point of view.”

In the United States, Peaslee said, there is a narrow idea of how film is supposed to be.

There are many people that appre-

ciate diverse cultural activities within Lubbock, and the International Film Series can help create community within Lubbock, he said.

“Whether it be film, or art, or dance or theater, I feel like if you can create a program that brings those people together that is good for the community as a whole,” Peaslee said.

The vision for the IFS is to see the film series evolve to become a prominent event within the community, he said.

Victoria Surliuga, associate professor of Italian and Italian program coordinator, said she is introducing the Italian political drama, “The Conformist”, as the premiere film for the film series.

“The Conformist” will be featured in the International Film Series because it is considered to be a classic in

from the Lubbock community that have a lot of natural talent and we really haven’t done that before,” Jimenez said.

The community actors chose to be a part of it due to the connection they feel with the play’s aspects and the themes they feel relate to them.

“Being a part of Nunca Olividares is a huge honor because as a group we are telling the stories of countless Mexican Americans.

This show is significant because it is built upon real stories of real people’s experience. It beautifully expresses the struggles that many Mexican Americans have had to fight through, and also celebrates the Mexican culture and traditions,” Jordan Hammack, a community actor, said.

Another actor shared the same sense of connection as Hammack.

“Being Hispanic, I related very much to the concept that Evangeline was explaining to us. Although I am not as close to my roots as I should be, I feel that this show will bring me to the culture that I struggle to express,” Franchesca Breig, a sophomore student from Tech, said.

The actors who played the grandfather and mother roles felt a more culturally moving connection to Jimenez’s play.

“I am the son and grandson of full time migrant workers for a major portion of their lives.

The stories that my grandmother passed down to me as a child created strong emotion and tension later in my adult life,” Jose Luis Rodriguez, the actor who plays Arnulfo the grandfather, said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The set itself will be minimalistic with pieces that are able to move easily because the play will also be performed at Lubbock High School, Jimenez said.

The uniqueness of the play, aside from the themes of Hispanic identity, comes from the actors themselves, she said.

“All of our actors are Hispanic, but what is really unique for the Theatre Department is that we have some performers

Italian cinema, she said.

“The film is about a person who wants to be normal at all costs,” she said. “On one hand, this film is about fascism, but it is also a story that has to do with an individual, and the repression of individuality under the fascist rule.”

At the end of the premiere of the film, Surliuga said, she will host a discussion with the public, and answer any questions audience members have about the film.

Students will gain an understanding of the fascist rule by viewing this period brought to life on the screen, she said.

“I think it is great that Texas Tech has the capacity of hosting such events,” she said. “This really makes us a unique and very international campus.” ➤➤bcooney@dailytoreador.com

The decision to act in the play came as a personal tribute to Rodriguez’s parents and grandparents and the themes found in the script created an emotional tie, he said.

The actor for the mother felt a duty and honor in playing the part of Elena, he said.

“Elena, to me, represents perseverance and a culture lost. She struggles with her own personal wounds, yet has overcome the obstacles in her life to become a successful Hispanic woman in a male-dominated career. I am elated to dive into her character, to discover the struggles she has had to overcome,” Rosalinda Jimenez, who plays the part of Elena, said.

The play will also be performed at 7 p.m. Oct. 25 and 2 p.m. Oct. 26 at Lubbock High School.

“This project is important to our community because it’s based from interviews taken from within the Hispanic community in Lubbock. It promises to be rich in our Hispanic culture,” Jimenez said.

The actors of the play hope to portray the message and theme of the play when it is performed.

“Through time in young Latino adults, and just as prevalent, is their struggle for regression into their cultural community, or at least the need to achieve the passing down of cultural identity to their offspring.

Intramural battleship kicks off its season

By MCKENZI MORRIS Staff Writer

PARTICIPANTS THROW WATER into each other’s canoes during the first round of intramural battleship Friday in the Aquatics Center.

Tradition↵

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The Masked Rider became an official mascot 60 years ago, according to the Spirit Program website, thanks to Fulton and former Tech football coach Dewitt Weaver.

Weaver wanted Tech to have an official mascot in order to increase the university’s chances of joining the then brand new Southwest Conference, according to the Spirit Program website.

Joe Kirk Fulton rode his horse through the Student Union building one day and got in trouble, Merle Fulton said, but Weaver found out and wanted him to bring the horse to the Gator Bowl and serve as mascot.

“It was just a coach with an idea and a student that wanted to have fun, and a tradition was born,” Merle Fulton said.

“He thought it would be a one-time thing.

My husband wanted a place to honor the riders and a safe place for the horse. He always wanted every rider to be honored.”

After Fulton served until 1955, a faculty member of the Animal Science Department would select each new Masked Rider, according to the Spirit Program website.

Bill Durfey, the oldest Masked Rider in attendance Saturday, rode his horse, Tech Beauty, from 1962 to 1963 as the sixth Masked Rider.

“I’m honored having been the Masked Rider,” he said. “Everywhere you go, people know the Masked Rider. It carries an honor forever and a lot of pride.”

Since his time as the Masked Rider, Durfey said the position has changed.

The program is now much more structured than it was in the 1960’s, he said, but it still impacts each rider’s life. ”They make more appearances,” Durfey said. “We were limited to local appearances. Now, they make as many as 200. It’s a thing that’s with us the rest of our lives. It’s given more significance to my life. We were just country boys coming to the big city.”

Douglas “Nubbin” Hollar, the seventh Masked Rider from 1963 to 1964 and from 1966 to 1968, said there were few, if any, rules and regulations. His brother, Donald “Polly” Hollar, was the third Masked Rider.

Dink Wilson, the eighth Masked Rider from 1964 to 1966, said the Masked Rider is an ambassador for Tech and is more in the spotlight today.

“It used to be more of a seasonal program with football and some basketball, and after that you were done until fall,” he said. “We didn’t realize what it would turn into today. At the time we were Masked Riders, we didn’t know if they were paying attention to us or not because it didn’t matter, we were just doing our job.”

The program has not gone 60 years without having any issues, however.

When the first female Masked Rider was named in 1974, it caused a nationwide controversy, according to the program’s website, and some people wanted Annie Lynch to give up the position.

Since then, 22 Masked Riders total have been female, according to the website, with seven females in the last 10 years alone.

On Sept. 3, 1994, the horse Double T hit its head against a concrete wall and died instantly, according to the website.

“When the horse got killed, I called up Tech and said we’ll buy a new horse for Tech,” Gary Lawrence, former president of Wells Fargo Bank, said, “I met quite

Rider had no endowment or official program, so I got a new pickup and trailer.”

Wells Fargo later gave $250,000 to the program and began the Masked Rider Endowment Fund, Lawrence, now executive vice president of Centennial Bank, said.

Today, the rider receives a full scholarship from Wells Fargo, he said, and the bank provides the tractor and trailer.

Other changes have taken place, including how the Masked Rider is selected.

The Masked Rider Program Advisory Committee is primarily responsible for selecting the Masked Rider each year, according to the program’s website.

“There’s a written application and a test on horse knowledge, a riding test and a driving test,” Skinner said. “If you pass all of those, you interview with the committee and they decide.”

The committee, chaired by Rhode, coordinates the rider’s schedule, fundraises for the program, determines policies and evaluates the Masked Rider’s performance on a regular basis.

Several years since his time as mascot, watching the Masked Rider run onto the football field still gives Skinner a pit in his stomach, he said.

“The run is something emotional to fans,” he said, “but when you’ve actually done it, it’s so much more special. You get the same feeling you did when you rode, you’re just in the stands now.”

After 60 years, Marle Fulton said she loves seeing how excited fans still get about the Masked Rider.

Seeing the tradition continue is rewarding, she said.

“Dad never thought this would take off the way it did,” Tim Fulton, son of Joe Kirk Fulton, said. “He still got chills when that horse went out on the field.

To be here means a lot. He just wanted it to continue to grow and to be a symbol for Tech.” ➤➤kbarton@dailytoreador.com

Teammates throw water with hopes of it landing in the ship. Others move their shields from side to side with fierce intensity. A group of students slowly sinks to the bottom of the pool as their ship capsizes.

Students gathered in the Texas Tech Aquatic Center on Friday for the first meeting of intramural battleship, a game where a team of four sits in a canoe and attempts to sink their opponents by using a bucket to fill their canoes. Students can register to play on www.IMleagues.com.

“I thought it would be something different to do,” Holly Meza, a junior interior design major from Woodburn, Oregon, said. “I kind of figured, why not, let’s just go for it. It’s a Friday and we’ll have a great time with each other.”

Each team receives four buckets at the beginning of the game to gather water and sink other ships but cannot scoop water out of their own canoe, according to the Tech Recreational Sports website.

Although they did not know how the game was going to work before they got

there, Richie Zapata, a junior social work major from Lubbock, said his team did whatever they had to in order to succeed.

“We didn’t have a game plan,” Zapata said. “Our main goal was to not sink and that didn’t last long. We were aligned with two other ships, but they failed us.”

Lydia Horehlad, a sophomore biology major from Damon, was on the same team as Zapata and said her team’s biggest weakness was their lack of stability.

“The canoe kept tipping over,” Horehlad said. “You have to keep your balance and it’s really hard actually. We ended up flipping over.”

If a team rams another canoe, hinders its ability to move, jumps overboard during battle or leaves the playing field, they are disqualified and must wait until the next round, according to the website.

Cones on the side of the pool mark the field, according to the website, and every five to ten minutes the cones would shrink to the size of the battleground.

Although the game itself was difficult, Zapata said, the hardest part was attempting to stay inbounds. “(Not having oars) threw our whole plan off,” Zapata said. “When we just had our hands and these buckets, it made it really hard to get around and steer.”

After hearing about the sport from a sorority sister, Kayla Crowley, a sophomore music education major from McKinney, said she decided to join.

“I was expecting to be really bad,” Crowley said. “It was a lot of fun and good bonding with some of my sisters, a new experience for us.”

Bradley Roberson, a senior industrial engineering major from Katy, played last season and said it was more appealing this time.

“There were a lot more people this year,” Roberson said. “(Last year) it was the same five or six groups playing for a couple of hours. This is much larger and more fun.” ➤➤mmorris@dailytoreador.com

Our enrollment growth is not feasible without an approach that includes the importance of athletics.

Anyone who thinks we can reach 40,000 students without supporting the needs of our athletics program is grossly underestimating the relationship between athletics and admissions.

In college football, alumni and sponsors donate when they see tangible results. The campaign will build the relationship between the entire athletics program and revenue for Tech.

For example, in 2007, Alabama brought in $67 million in revenue from athletics. In 2012, that number was $124 million.

There is a positive linear relationship between the success of our athletics department and the number of donations made.

A team that can win championships will attract sponsorships that will help push the team forward. It takes money to make money, and in college football, there is a snowball effect of having a competitive athletics program, which brings in money

Anyone who thinks we can reach 40,000 students without supporting the needs of our athletics program is grossly underestimating the relationship between athletics and admissions.

not only for athletics, but also for academics and research.

We should all work for a strong national presence for Tech. When Denver made it to Super Bowl XLVIII, three former Red Raiders started for the Broncos. I am happy Tech used this to its advantage and placed an advertisement in New York City’s Time Square showcasing the accomplishments of the university and Tech Athletics. This kind of publicity is priceless, and, as Red Raiders, we should be proud of what Tech is doing on the national stage.

I am excited to see where Tech will be once I graduate and where it continues to grow when I am an alumnus.

We have potential that will carry us to national championships as well as accreditation in the American Association of Universities. We must all support every aspect of Tech, because really, this campaign for the athletics program is a campaign for us all. We are all fearless champions, whether we’re on the football field, in the research lab, in the weight room or in the classroom.

lumni are necessary to generate the camaraderie of Texas Tech, or any institution. Presently, future alumni need more attention.

Sticking three freshmen to a residence hall room approaches being uninhabitable. Rejected from an event you paid for? My fellow Red Raiders’ accommodations are volumes more important than additional box seats for alumni to watch the football game.

According to a previous article in The Daily Toreador, Blayne Beal, associate athletic director for Tech, said, “for the Texas game … (the) student limit is only going to be about 12,577, which is our student capacity.” Tech has broken this record previously, and according to a previous article in The DT, many students were shut out of the season opening game against Central Arkansas.

We need to put more attention toward incoming students and begin providing seating for them.

While we are all fond of the alumni who return to share their love for Tech, the plans for current students are more pressing, especially with our goal to bring in more students every year. I do

not think anybody will be fond of living in a study lounge with three others, being denied deserved access to football games and dealing with the inevitable problem of larger or unavailable classes.

The living situation is a good start. Money should be used to accommodate freshman living situations. Instead of spending money on the athletic department and building upperclassmen residence halls, Te c h s h o u l d first allocate space for incoming freshmen. There are many options, such as converting the graduate and upper level residence halls to freshman halls.

At the same time, Tech should immediately begin the abatement and renovation of currently unoccupied Weeks Hall, a project which the Tech Facilities Planning and Construction website lists as “prospective.” This will be necessary to accommodate the increasing number of incoming freshmen.

These changes would use Tech real estate more efficiently by slowing down the westbound expansion of our campus and begin an effective contribution to future alumni experiences, something additional box seats would not do for the majority of us.

If we decide to increase stadium capacity, but only with box seats, we would ignore the projected 40,000-student enrollment, many of which are freshmen required to live on campus that will be here before we know it. It would be in the best interest of Tech to begin making space for its students as soon as possible due to the recent emerging issues.

for their box seats, the money should immediately be allotted to better the experience of our fellow Red Raiders.

Wi t h s t u d e n t e n r o l l m e n t steadily on the rise, classroom space will likely become an issue.

This could potentially lead to students being unable to register for the classes they need or for classes to be hosted in other areas of campus, requiring students to travel more than they otherwise would.

Academic funding to prepare for the 40,000-student capacity would improve the experience of future alumni.

In turn, this would benefit more people than using funding to expand the football stadium with box seats.

Maybe most obviously, the funding to be used to construct the box seats would be better suited to provide student football game seating. With everincreasing enrollment expected within the next few years and student section football seating already proving to be insufficient, the need for additional student seating will prove imminent fairly soon. At the minimum, funding to expand the football seating capacity should be used for general admission and student seating.

In the end, the box seats would benefit the fortunate few, but the money used for that development could be used much more appropriately. While no doubt, a more awesome football stadium would help us reach our enrollment goal, this money would be more appropriate to accommodate these incoming students’ needs.

Tech has more pressing matters that require addressing and would be much better suited creating space for incoming students.

T

exas Tech recently announced the Campaign for Fearless Champions, a $185 million initiative that will expand and upgrade facilities for Tech Athletics.

The campaign has already raised $75 million, and the entire project will be funded solely by donations, according to the campaign website.

Upgrades to facilities include the locker rooms in the United Supermarkets Arena, additions to the football video board, restorations to the Rawls Golf Course, a colonnade on the north side of Jones AT & T S t a dium, a new indoor track facility and expanding the baseball clubhouse.

In support of the campaign, Tech President M. Duane Nellis said, “The future of college athletics and its impact on universities’ academic missions [is] unparalleled.” Nellis is right — any university’s academics and athletics programs build off of one another.

The campaign will add national credibility and competitiveness to Tech as a whole.

Tech must have an innovative athletics program in order to grow student enrollment, increase our national presence and build on our already growing academic competitiveness.

Guess which school has the most national merit scholars in the U.S. and has three recent national football championships? Not surprisingly, the University of Alabama. Addition-

Student internships important, must be viewed as stepping stone for future career

By FAITH ALFORD

The Cougar (u. housTon)

EDITORIAL BOARD

Internships have always been used as a way for students to receive hands-on experience in their career field for several decades; however, they are slowly becoming more and more of a controversial topic for companies.

The New York Times reported that many internships, whether they be paid or unpaid, “serve as valuable steppingstones that help young people land future jobs.”

While this may be true, internships do have pros and cons.

Editor-in-Chief Carson Wilson editor@dailytoreador.com Managing Editor Chantal Espinoza managing@dailytoreador.com News Editor Kaitlin Bain news@dailytoreador.com La Vida Editor Amy Cunningham features@dailytoreador.com Opinions Editor Andrew Gleinser opinions@dailytoreador.com Sports Editor Everett Corder sports@dailytoreador.com

Although some internships can be paid, enlightening and resume padding, others are unpaid and can seem like a waste of time and talent.

In fact, the National Association of Colleges and Employers reported in 2013 that among the 2013 graduates, 63.1 percent of paid interns received at least one job offer while only 37 percent of unpaid interns got an offer.

This percentage proved to be only slightly higher than the 35.2 percent of graduates who received a job offer and did not complete an internship.

Aside from the likelihood of unpaid interns receiving a job after graduation, unpaid interns sometimes can feel taken advantage of.

Diana Truong, a Northwestern State University performance studies senior, completed an unpaid summer internship for a company that helps put together various events. She admits she spent much of her time making copies, filing and replying to repetitive e-mail messages for her employer.

“I would have liked to have been paid, but I know it is expected of me to do this for free,” Truong said. “In order to be a part of this Copyright © 2014 Texas Tech University Student Media/The Daily Toreador.

Moreover, this experience did not allow Diana to receive much hands-on training. Diana, like other students, said she felt somewhat forced to put up with the treatment.

Because unpaid student interns are not hired as employees, they are not protected under the same labor laws as paid student interns; therefore, there is not much protecting them from receiving unfair Toreador, Box 43081 Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas 79409.

treatment while interning. Even though unpaid interns are supposed to be protected by the guidelines of the U.S. Department of Labor, sometimes employers view interns as dispensable and able to do free and easy labor.

It is crucial for students to research an internship. A student should want to intern for a company that is going to help put them on a path to a great career. Students do not want to be put in the position to intern for a company where their time is taken advantage of and ultimately only used to benefit the employer. To ensure this doesn’t happen, it is important to connect with the employees at the job location to ensure that one’s purpose and job requirements as an intern are explained.

Contrastingly, not all internships are bad. Marketing sophomore Woodrow Claybon said he recently completed a summer internship in his hometown of Chicago.

“My internship this summer was an eye-opening and enriching experience,” Claybon said. “Not only was I able to represent my foundation on Fox News Chicago, but I was also able to learn how to use Excel, coordinate and plan events and oversee alumni outreach. The internship allowed me to network and establish important connections with business professionals all over Chicago.”

Internships should go beyond learning, as Claybon’s experience did; companies should give interns the chance to actually contribute and be part of a team. Internships are intended to assist students in realizing what exactly is expected from them as a professional, not just an intern.

Over the past few years, there has been much discussion about the increasing number of unpaid student internships. Some states have implemented rules for students to receive some type of college credit to compensate for them not being paid; however, this still does not help students with receiving internship positions nor does it protect students.

The high expectations of students to already come with a full resume and experience for an internship is a little much. In addition, students also now have to have a certain number of prerequisites to receive college credit for these internships.

There are good internships out there, but one just has to do extensive research. It is important to join something that is going to prepare college students to succeed in the real world within their selected career field.

Internships do not have to be seen a waste of time, as long as one remembers that internships should only help help in the journey towards being a professional.

Tech wins on golden goal again No. 7 Texas Tech (6-0-0) defeated No. 11 California (6-1-0) Friday in Berkley, Calif., 1-0 with a goal scored in the final minute of overtime, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Last Sunday’s match against Portland State ended virtually the same way. In that match, junior midfielder Alli Murphy served up a corner that junior midfielder Hannah Devine then headed into the net.

A corner is what did it again for Tech this weekend. However, this time junior forward Janine Beckie is who delivered the golden goal.

The goal is Beckie’s third of the season, and the 12th in her career to become a game-winner. The latest game-winner has her passing former Red Raiders Kristi Patterson and Jessica Fuston to claim the record in career game-winning goals.

Sports Hog Tied

Razorbacks use heavy run attack to hand Red Raiders first loss of 2014 season

By EVERETT CORDER SportS Editor

Arkansas running back Alex Collins had a career day Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.

The sophomore carried the ball 27 times in the game for a careerhigh total of 212 yards, leading the Razorbacks to their first win against the Red Raiders since 1989.

Tech senior linebacker V.J. Fehoko said the defense said all three of the Arkansas running backs were good, and the Red Raiders had a hard time switching between them.

“They’ve got a trio that is kind of a jack of all trades,” he said. “You have the power back, you have the speed back, and so getting adjusted to the different backs that are in the game. I think understanding the personnel and who was in was also another thing that we lacked.

We should have understood what type of backs were in and we were dealing with.”

Tech started with the ball after winning the coin toss, but the offense went three and out on the first drive for the third straight game.

The Razorbacks muffed the ensuing punt, however, and the Red Raiders capitalized on their mistake with a 15-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Davis Webb to wide receiver Reginald Davis.

The Tech defense forced Arkansas to punt when it had its first offensive drive after the touchdown, but Tech junior running back DeAndre Washington fum-

bled the ball four plays into the Red Raiders’ ensuing drive to give the Razorbacks the ball back with a short field.

Webb said the team knew exactly what it needed to do coming into the game, but they had too many mistakes and were unable to put it in play.

“Yeah, again, we just didn’t execute,” he said. “We had a great game plan by coach Kingsbury and coach (Eric) Morris, and we just didn’t execute.”

The Razorbacks scored on the short field, forced the Red Raiders to punt on their next drive, and scored again when they got the ball back to take a seven-point lead with 1:26 left in the first quarter.

Tech scored on its ensuing drive, and the two teams traded touchdowns on the next two drives as well to keep Arkansas ahead by seven.

With two minutes left in the first half, and Arkansas threatening to score again, the Tech defense forced its first turnover of the 2014 season.

The Red Raider offense wasted the turnover, however, as Webb was picked off by Arkansas senior linebacker Martrell Spaight, who ran it back to the Tech 12-yard line.

Webb tried to do too much with the ball on the interception, he said, and he should have just let the play come to him when Arkansas was covering the middle of the field.

“Arkansas’s team, give them all the credit in the world,” he said.

“They had a great game plan for us. They dropped back pretty deep and took away the middle of the field. That was a huge emphasis we were trying to hit this week. Once they took that away, just be quick on the move, but we weren’t good enough today.”

The Razorbacks scored six seconds later to go up 28-21 into halftime.

Arkansas had the ball to start the second half, and it held the ball for all but two minutes and 15 seconds in the third quarter.

Razorbacks coach Brett Bielema said when he is taking on a highpaced offense like Tech runs, it is important to eat up the clock so the other team does not have much time to score.

“Well, any time I think in my experience of playing an up-tempo offense, the more you can monopolize the clock, it just keeps their offense on the sideline and gets very, very frustrating,” he said. “I used to always enjoy watching games, and when you are playing a no-huddle offense, you see that coach over there pacing around the sidelines, because he just wants that ball back.”

The Red Raiders were unable to score at all in the fourth quarter, while the Razorbacks scored two touchdowns, putting the game out of reach, 49-28.

Tech will have its bye week this week before taking on Oklahoma State at 6:30 p.m. Sept.

25 in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The game will be broadcast on ESPN. ➤➤sports@dailytoreador.com

On Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium, the Arkansas Razorbacks racked up 499 total yards of offense en route to scoring 49 points and handing the Texas Tech Red Raiders their first loss of the season.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said the defense prepared well but was overpowered by Arkansas’ offensive line. “(Our defense) just lined up and we

knew it was coming, we just didn’t get it stopped,” Kingsbury said. “I thought offensively the first half we gave them two touchdowns with those turnovers, and you can’t put your defense in that position. The second half we didn’t have an answer.”

The Razorbacks pounded the ball offensively and ended the game with 438 yards rushing on 68 attempts.

Senior linebacker V.J. Fehoko said he thought the defensive effort was strong but they made far too

many mistakes.

“It was very frustrating due to the communication error up front with the defense. We had guys doing too much.

We had duplication, I feel, on some parts, and Arkansas is a good team,” he said. “You can’t have mental errors that lead to big plays. In this conference, the smallest mistakes go the longest ways.” ➤➤jkrakosky@dailytoreador.com ➤➤Visit dailytoreador.com for more about the Texas Tech run defense.
