BOWMAN BREAKS RECORD, LEADS CONFERENCE AFTER 2ND CAREER START

s Texas Tech took on Houston on Saturday in the Jones AT&T Stadium, all eyes were on Houston junior quarterback D’Eriq King to have a career game. But to the surprise of anybody watching, Tech freshman quarterback Alan Bowman stole the show.

“We were having a hard time running the ball initially, so the passing game got going. Bowman missed a couple early that he usually doesn’t miss, but settled in and protected the ball well, made a bunch of good decisions and got us rolling,” Kingsbury said. “It was a good game to build even more confidence going into conference as far as his progression as the QB goes.”

Scholarship dollars might go unclaimed Ladies in Red exhibit showcases design history

By KAYLA BLACK Staff Writer

More than $2.3 billion in free college aid was left unclaimed by high school graduates during the 2016-2017 academic year.

In that academic year, 1,234,249 high school graduates did not fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid. According to the Nerdwallet website, calculations estimated that out of those students, 648,191 of them would have been eligible for a Pell grant.

There has been a misconception that there is a lot of scholarship money floating around that students can easily obtain if they apply.

According to ScholarshipPoints, this idea derived from a study the National Institute of Work and Learning conducted on the 19761977 academic year. The study mentions tuition assistance and readers equated that to scholarships.

Christy Rosson, the director of scholarships at Texas Tech, said the only reason any scholarship money would go undistributed is if donor requirements cannot be met. It is usually geographical requirements that restricts the scholarship office from awarding all the budget money.

“For example, this year, I have a scholarship that is specific to students with financial need in Clay County,” Rosson said. “I have enough to award 74, but I can only award 8.”

Rosson said usually in those cases, they would ask the donor to expand their parameters, and in this case the donor agreed and Rosson was able to disburse the rest of the money for this academic school year.

As part of ‘The Red that Colored the World’ exhibition, the Museum of Texas Tech University is showcasing clothing and textiles from its own collection.

‘The Red that Colored the World’ exhibit is organized by the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The traveling exhibit explores the use of the cochineal, an insect-based dye source for the color red, in art dated from the pre-Columbian America from Mexico, Europe and more.

Marian Ann Montgomery, the curator of clothing and textiles at the Museum of Texas Tech, said the cochineal exhibit would not travel in total, so the museum added red garments from their collection to enhance it.

“The red dresses are really

an opportunity to look at women wearing red through the ages,” Montgomery said.

The exhibit showcases design pieces worn by Former First Lady Laura Bush and some women who have influenced the history of Tech and Lubbock, including Margaret Talkington, Louise Hopkins Underwood, Helen Devitt Jones and Marsha Sharp.

The museum has many more articles of clothing that they do not have space to show. When deciding which pieces went up, Montgomery said she received help from the students through the master’s program of museum studies.

Looking back on the history of Tech, viewers can see a cheerleading uniform from the 1920s. Also, there is a part of history many students do not know about; Raider Rose.

Students recovering from addiction live with on-campus community

By BRENNA HALE Staff Writer

Students in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction can apply to live in a block of rooms in the Carpenter/Wells Complex designated as recovery housing.

Anna Trevino, the assistant director of recovery community living, said those who wish to live in recovery housing must have been in recovery for at least six months, apply and interview at the Center for the Study of Addiction and Recovery and eventually enroll at the center.

“Our students all have to sign a contract that aligns with our collegiate recovery program,” Trevino said. “It includes being involved at the center, showing up for mandatory meetings, participating in the unity event every month, not allowing anyone to use or drink in your space or if you

SCHOLARSHIPS

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 The award money that usually goes unclaimed is the federal Pell grant, which is allocated once a student’s FAFSA has been reviewed. Whereas the Pell grant is based on need, most scholarships are not and can be very competitive. According to ScholarshipPoints, almost all scholarships for college have more applicants than available funds.

Though that has been found through research, during the 2016-17 academic year, Tech’s enrollment was 36,551, yet Rosson said her office only had around 5,000 applications.

“We are working diligently to get the word out, especially to current students. Freshmen are very good,” Rosson said, “They forget as sophomores or juniors or seniors to complete their current student application.”

Rosson said there are three

know someone in the recovery dorm is using, they need to talk to someone on staff.”

The students are encouraged to spend time with one another to create an atmosphere of community and accountability, she said.

“I think our students in the recovery housing are really wise,” Trevino said. “They’ll chat with me or their peer leaders about some things, but most of the time, they’re hanging out with other students in recovery.”

Junior social work major Dominic Van Houtven lived in the recovery dorms for two years. Since he was a long-term resident, Van Houtven became a leader in the community and said the biggest benefit to his recovery was he got to spend so much time with those in recovery who lived around him.

“A big part of living in dorms is partying and I’ve

heard stories from my coworkers about how wild it was when they lived in the dorms their freshman year,” Van Houtven said. “I got to move in with these other kids who were in recovery and dealing with the same stuff I was, and we bonded over that.”

These students must attend monthly unity meetings, where they plan community activities for the group, he said. Past events they have planned were gameday watch parties, trips to a trampoline park, games of paintball and cookouts in Mackenzie park.

“All the unity stuff is really fun,” Van Houtven said.

“They’re mostly to foster a sense of community, but we kind of have that regardless.

Like when I lived in the sober dorms, we would all just sit around, talk, hang out, listen to music. We were constantly

hanging out with each other.”

Elisabeth Iaderosa, a sophomore German major, was a peer leader in the recovery housing unit during her freshman year. In her role as a peer leader, she was a staff member at the Center for the Study of Addiction and Recovery and served as a link between the recovery housing group and Trevino’s office.

“Living there was definitely what I needed when starting college,” Iaderosa said. “I hadn’t been to college for two years, so the fact of being around other people in sobriety and having that community was really helpful. We had a bunch of different personalities, and some people were just like me and not from (Lubbock).”

Students in recovery housing vote on a peer leader to live on-site with them. While one of the peer leader’s functions is

levels of scholarships: university, college and departmental.

Her office focuses on university level scholarships.

For incoming freshmen, guaranteed scholarships are merit based, including class rank and test scores. For incoming transfers, guaranteed scholarships are based on their grade point average from their previous institution as well as the number of hours they bring in with them.

As for competitive scholarships, it can be anything the donor requests, such as what high school a student went to, what county a student lives in, whether or not they have financial need, select students majoring in a certain area or anything else that specifies.

While there is a lot of emphasis placed on incoming, transfer and competitive scholarships, there is often a lack of communication that current student scholarship applications exist as well.

“For current students, you can apply for scholarships every year as a Red Raider,” Rosson said. “It’s called the current student application and it’s found on our website.”

Rosson said she encourages students to apply for scholarships during Christmas break because that is the time students have less demands, giving them time to solely focus on scholarships.

To put themselves in the best possible position for money, Rosson said students should fill out their FAFSA, do their scholarship application and complete their expected enrollment requirements.

“Our outreach director encourages students to eat pie and apply,” Rosson said.

Todd Chambers, the associate dean of undergraduate affairs for the College of Media and Communication, deals with scholarships at the college level.

He said in general, one of the things he has seen in his 20 years of teaching is he used to have to beg students to apply for scholarships. It would often be difficult for him to get students to apply.

But that is no longer the case for

students currently in the college.

“Where I see some of our internal to College of Media and Communication scholarships going unclaimed are probably from incoming freshman,” Chambers said.

Either freshmen initially selected another university or received an MCOM scholarship but changed majors and now that scholarship no longer applies to them. In those cases, the scholarships are always re-awarded.

When it comes to applications, Chambers said he wishes there were more. MCOM’s scholarships are promoted through social media, publicity in newsletters, in-house marketing in terms of posters and Chambers sends out emails with updates to all undergraduate students.

“Sometimes I’m at a loss at how else we can do it,” Chambers said.

Tech offers scholarships outside of university, college and departmental levels, such as the Tech Alumni Association scholarship.

“I didn’t think I was going to get a scholarship,” Barraza said.

“I applied just to apply because it never hurts to apply. I actually did it very last minute.”

Barraza said he applied for a scholarship every day for two months, which was very stressful but helped in the end.

Another outside source that provides opportunities for scholarships is the Center for Campus Life.

Kimberly Thornton, the director of Center for Campus Life, said the center offers a lot of programs and ways for students to get involved on campus. It oversees all the student organizations on campus such as the registration process, leadership opportunities, resources and scholarships.

Thornton said by getting involved with a student organization, it opens a student up to possibly receiving more scholarship opportunities.

As far as students who stumble across desperate times in the school year and need assistance, Rosson said the scholarship office is given limited funding for lend-

ing help in those cases. However, there are other ways Tech students can seek assistance.

“We have some things like the Raider Relief Program that is available for students that need a one-time help. There’s a whole process we can do to help,” Thornton said. “We also have the Raider Red Food Pantry. If someone is down on their luck, if someone needs help and don’t have food money, they can absolutely come to our pantry.”

There are over 550 student organizations on campus. Thornton said there are a lot of ways to get involved and encourage students to seek the Center for Campus Life to help them get involved in a variety of ways.

Tech’s scholarship applications open on October 1, 2018 and close February 1, 2019.

“Student loan debt is crazy and increasing daily, and so students that put forth the effort to receive scholarships certainly earned them and don’t have to repay that debt,” Rosson said.

“Long term it helps ease that financial burden of their families, especially if they have other siblings. It’s hard for families to afford college educations.”

Tech provides support for sexual harassment, assault

By ADÁN RUBIO Staff Writer

Sexual harassment and assault are issues that can occur anywhere. At Texas Tech, resources are available for students to deal with these problems and recover from any ordeal.

With the occurrence of sexual assault and harassment cases, certain resources are necessary to learn how to prevent these situations and to overcome the trauma a victim may face.

Organizations at Tech, such as Title IX and Risk Intervention and Safety Education, work to educate the community, report incidents and help people recover from attacks. RISE, which is located in Suite 247 of Drane Hall and can be reached by calling 806-742-2110, works to prevent sexual violence on campus.

Kelsey Lueck, violence prevention specialist at RISE, said to understand the impact of sexual harassment or assault, one must consider the number of occurrences compared to the number of reported incidents.

“From last year, there was 122 Title IX cases reported in the fall and 165 reported in the spring,” Lueck said.

“Sadly, there’s still a stigma in the United States that reporting is a bad thing.”

Not being perceived as truthful, the fear of rejection

or the unease of recounting a traumatic experience are negative reasons that prevents victims from reporting an incident of sexual violence, Leuck said.

Although, with the number of reported incidents last year, which include 91 anonymous reports in the fall and 70 in the spring, Lueck said people are speaking up about their sexual harassment and assault experiences.

“The cool part is people are actually utilizing the resources on our campus and reporting versus not reporting,” Lueck said.

Whether it be referring a troubled student to the Tech Crisis HelpLine, which can be reached by calling 806742-5555, or utilizing social media to spread awareness about sexual assault, Lueck said RISE tries to inform students of the threats on campus and how to defend against them.

Utilizing the RISE walkin services is a way for students to obtain the proper short-term or long-term accommodations they need to deal with their situation.

“We’re usually people’s first stop,” Lueck said. “We can put something in place for that student to get immediate help.”

Whether it be directing them to counseling on campus or calling the police, RISE works to acquire the necessary resources so students

do not have to worry about getting the help they need.

If one wants to talk about their problems regarding sexual harassment or assault, they can take advantage of the counseling resources available on the Tech campus.

The Student Counseling Center provides students with the opportunity to discuss, individually or in a group, their experiences with sexual harassment, violence and other issues.

Amanda Wheeler, assistant director of the Student Counseling Center, said individual counseling is offered for students coping with trauma.

“In individual counseling, the student works with the therapist to identify treatment goals and what treatment is going to look like,” Wheeler said. “This may mean talking about the trauma, getting support and learning positive coping skills.”

The Counseling Center, which is located in the Student Wellness Center and can be reached at 806-742-3674, provides a Sexual Assault Survivors group for women with history of sexual violence and the walk-in clinic, which is open Monday through Friday from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., for any student who wants to meet with a counselor and discuss their troubles.

Regardless of the services the Counseling Center offers to help students recover from the trauma of sexual violence, Wheeler said it is important for people to be empathetic toward others who experience sexual harassment or assault.

“We still have a culture that places the blame of the assault or harassment on the victim rather than the perpetrator,” Wheeler said. “If you have someone come to you and reveal they have been harassed or assaulted, the best thing you can do is to believe them and do not blame them for what happened.”

Blaming the victim is one aspect of sexual violence that has become an issue.

But the occurrence of sexual harassment is also a factor of the assault.

Voice of Hope Lubbock, a local rape crisis center, has staff that teaches peo-

ple about the need to end sexual harassment.

Kenneth Castillo, primary prevention coordinator at Voice of Hope, said it is important to teach children to be model citizens, as any form of sexual harassment, such as catcalling, could lead to sexual assault.

“I’m going and talking to the youth about how we are supposed to act,” Castillo said.

Educating people about sexual violence is not the only service Voice of Hope provides.

Counseling in person or through the Voice of Hope hotline, which can be reached by calling 806-763-7273, are services Castillo said the center offers to anyone who is a victim of sexual violence or sex trafficking. For college students, insurance information is not required and counseling sessions remain confidential for victims.

“We provide a 24-hour

crisis line,” Castillo said. “We provide free counseling for sexual assault survivors and their families.”

Regardless of the resources offered at Voice of Hope, Castillo said it is important for people to act whenever they witness sexual harassment or assault. Whether it be telling someone to stop acting inappropriately or calling 911 after witnessing a sexual assault incident, speaking up for a victim is a way people can help prevent harassment from turning into assault.

“Please say something, do something,” Castillo said. “Silence is what’s perpetuating this.”

Typhoon hits China, kills 64 in Philippines

Man charged with killing 2 Arizona girls

HONG KONG (AP) — Typhoon Mangkhut barreled into southern China on Sunday, killing two people after lashing the Philippines with strong winds and heavy rain that left at least 64 dead and dozens more feared buried in a landslide.

More than 2.4 million people had been evacuated in

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — A registered sex offender jailed since last year has been charged in the kidnapping and killing of two Arizona girls who went missing in 2012 and 2014, authorities announced Saturday.

Christopher Matthew Clements, 36, was indicted on Friday by a grand jury on 21 crim-

southern China’s Guangdong province by Sunday evening to flee the massive typhoon and nearly 50,000 fishing boats were called back to port, state media reported.

It threatened to be the strongest typhoon to hit Hong Kong in nearly two decades.

“Prepare for the worst,” Hong Kong Security Min-

ister John Lee Ka-chiu urged residents.

That warning came after Mangkhut’s devastating march through the northern Philippines, where the storm made landfall Saturday on Luzon island with sustained winds of 205 kilometers (127 miles) per hour and gusts of 255 kph (158 mph).

inal counts, including murder and kidnapping charges in the deaths of 6-year-old Isabel Celis and 13-year-old Maribel Gonzalez, Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus said.

Celis went missing from her Tucson home in April 2012, and her body was discovered in what was described as a rural area in March 2017.

Gonzalez’ body was discovered in June 2014 in the Avra Valley community near Tucson, not far from where Celis’ remains would be found three years later.

Magnus and other officials held a news conference to announce the indictment. But they declined to answer questions from reporters.

what makes them tick.

The Actor-Observer bias, is a bias in which people view situations differently when they are in different roles. For example, if I were to get into a car accident I would give you all the ways the situation made it so that it was difficult for the accident to be avoided. This essentially means I am attributing most of the blame on the situation rather than myself. This is the actor side of the bias. When someone is the observer they tend to attribute more of the blame onto the individual than on to the situation.

The interesting thing about this bias is that it has

the potential to be wrong in both ways. Some biases, like confirmation bias, refer to a specific way in which a person can be bias toward a conclusion, but actor-observer bias warns us of two possible mistakes rather than just one.

The first mistake is one in which an individual tends to underestimate the role they played in their mistake by attributing most of the blame on the situation rather than looking inward at how they could have preventing the situation from happening.

The second mistake is when someone outside of the situation totally disregards the situation and puts all of the blame on the individual.

Both of these errors are important to understand, because I believe they play a fundamental role in how the left and the right think. The right is very concerned with making the first error, the actor error, someone doesn’t take respon-

sibility for their actions. The left is very concerned with the observer error, someone disregards the situation entirely.

My point is this. In some way, both sides are totally correct. This is why, among other reasons, we need to have a consistent dialogue between political ideologies.

In a world of “gotcha” news and videos titled something like: “So and so DESTROYED by so and so” it is important to take a step back and understand that there is a reason we have two mainstream political ideologies.

Conservatives should remember that personal responsibility is extremely important, but also that people can be put into bad situations where they don’t really have a good choice.

They should also remember that the phrase “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” while containing an absolute element of truth, comes off

as dismissive and uncaring.

There isn’t a person in this world that is going through a hard time that responds well to that statement.

Liberals should remember that the circumstances do play a large role in a person’s situation, but that ultimately the individual has to take responsibility for their actions.

They should also remember that being in a hard situation can absolutely become an excuse to not try and work on yourself.

Lastly, they should remember that assuming conservatives hate the poor and just want to exploit them isn’t true. Conservatives truly want what is best for those in hard situations. They just think the way out is through self-improvement, even if it comes across as uncaring.

Overall, this communication between sides cannot take place if we assume the other side has bad motives.

If the right assumes the left just wants to make people dependent on government so they have a secure voting base or that the left doesn’t think people are responsible for their actions, there will be no conversation. If the left assumes the right is an uncaring monolithic group of racists who hate those who are less fortunate they will never understand that the right cares about people.

In closing, remember to attribute to your fellow man a base level of respect, goodwill and intelligence. I have found that this makes conversations infinitely easier and more productive, because you are actually having a conversation rather than accusing each other of bad intentions. The people you disagree with aren’t really that different than you, they just want to minimize a different type of bias. @DailyToreador

Understanding first amendment difficult in the Trump’s presidency

I

was in the newsroom at The Daily Toreador the night of the presidential election in 2016, waiting for the results to write an opinion’s article for the next day. It was during the week, I was exhausted and I had just spent the day studying at the law school during that ever stressful first year.

A responsible law student probably wouldn’t have stayed up until the late hours of the night knowing they had civil procedure class in the morning. But the night felt important, and it felt like where I needed to be was right there with my friends and colleagues in that newsroom.

My opinion of the administration and the truth changed January 2017 when I watched the first official White House press briefing immediately criticize the press; an event we know now in 2018 as routine in the Trump administration. I watched Sean Spicer rip into the press about “false reporting” on something as trivial as an inauguration crowd size.

I watched him lie about the inauguration crowd size, I watched him defend the presidents lie that it was the largest inauguration audience ever and I watched him relay the president’s anger at the press’ tweets. I watched a grown man defend another grown man’s lie about some-

thing that didn’t matter.

More importantly I watched the White House press secretary attack the press defending a lie that didn’t matter. And I worried for what the White House would say in the future about lies that genuinely affected our nation.

What we know is that fake news isn’t just outright lies; fake news is the omission of context from a story that matters, its selectively being outraged about single political narratives repeatedly, it’s deliberately misleading to fit a political outcome. But, at its roots, fake news isn’t verifiable lies and fake news isn’t even so much about the story it is asserting.

Fake news is about us, the stories audience; it is about finding ways to either reaffirm our pre-existing beliefs that may be wrong, scare us into believing something is wrong or right and just to manipulate us without the values of honesty and integrity that matter for a functioning society.

as truth without context to its falsehood, they too are disseminated fake news. And the result is a society that feels absolutely divided – while fake news pushes a narrative that makes our country look like two extremes, the truth is always somewhere in the middle, but the overflow of this information on social media makes it difficult for even the most active of us to decipher where the truth ends or begins.

Whether it be truth or lie or misleading, when we look to our constitution we have to understand that the first amendment was created to rightfully protect nearly all forms of speech. This is because founders wanted to make sure that the government, that public officials could be held accountable for their actions through a free press without fear retribution.

But importantly, they wanted to make sure the government could not control what views counted as “truth” and wanted individuals to determine what they believed for themselves. The founders had faith in our nation’s citizens to be able to decipher between a wide range of ideas, and had the belief that they would strive to for integrity, honesty, truth and morality.

Beyond the first amendments adoption in 1791, the Supreme Court has specified protections for lies in the

absence of greater and more specific intent to harm, and in New York Times Company v.

Sullivan provided protection from false-statements about public officials in libel suits.

The amendment protects the human errors in reporting news, it protects the misstatements from public officials, it protects the press and individuals from accusations of defamation and leaves a difficult standard of proof to only those with intent to lie or to disregard the truth may be punished.

This is a standard that protects the right to almost all forms of speech and leaves room for human error – it is also the reason that unless a “fake news” story can be shown to meet that standard of harm, it will continue to be constitutionally protected speech. The founders trusted us, trusted our society to be able to decipher and strive for what is true and what is not.

So, what do we do during an administration where the amount of information to decipher is far greater than the founders could have ever imagined? Would they still trust us to strive for integrity, honesty, and truth if they had the knowledge that social media would exist, that information would be so readily available?

ogy to influence our beliefs, that the overwhelming sense of fear and exhaustion caused by the amount of information available would have us seek media sources that reaffirm our own beliefs?

I believe even if they knew how this administration would operate, the first amendment would remain the same. The first amendment reflects a faith in people in integrity, truth and morality, much as I felt in the newsroom that election night.

But what we must understand is that while we live in a world beyond their understanding of how information could be distributed, we have to acknowledge our human susceptibility, our biases our need for reaffirmation; we have to acknowledge that our beliefs may be wrong and we have to question our own values and from what sources we acquired them if we are ever going to keep that truth.

The First Amendment of the constitution protects the right for fake news and genuine truth to co-exist together; and in an administration where these are at constant issue we must continue to recognize the faith the founders had in us, in humanity, to strive for the truth ourselves and we must make sure to prove their faith was correct. @DailyToreador

‘ArTTrek’ app showcases public art collection

By AKHILA REDDY L a Vida Editor

On any given day walking to class across the Texas Tech campus, a student might walk past one of the dozens of public art pieces that are strewn across campus. Now, students and anybody interested have the opportunity to learn more about Tech’s extensive public art collection using the ‘ArTTrek’ application.

Tech’s art collection ranks among the top ten in the country, Emily Wilkinson, public art director, said. The app, funded by a grant from the CH foundation in 2016, was developed to showcase this art collection in a new, more accessible medium.

“We have these great books, but it’s not always easy to get

them and printing them can get expensive,” Wilkinson said.

“But it’s really easy when we get a new piece to just add it to the app for anybody to download the app wherever they are.”

The app has a mapping feature so that users can open it and it can show them where they are and see what art is nearby, Wilkinson said.

Additionally, there are customizable lists with pieces, photos and descriptions of art on campus, she said.

The app also features a game.

“You can use the game to help find new pieces hopefully and it does randomize each time you play it, so you can see different things through the game,” Wilkinson said.

“It says a lot about how fashion has changed,” she said. “They’re all very pretty and intricate.”

Garza said it was crazy to see clothing pieces that people kept the over the years and she never thought she would see them.

Sally Logue Post, the marketing director of the museum, said the clothing speaks for itself.

Even though The Ladies in Red was not originally

was involved in selecting the design partner for the app, he said.

Several firms submitted different takes on the project, he said, but the firm that was ultimately chosen had the most innovative idea for the app.

“The came to us with an idea that was more interactive with students, rather than just a repository of the public art pieces, so like a Pokemon go type app where you’re actually running, walking, driving a bike, and seeing those pieces and knowing what you’re looking at,” Reeger said.

The app has already had approximately 500 downloads, Wilkinson said. Aside from some minor issues with bugs and password issues that were fixed, the feedback has been positive.

“I know when the board of regents were here a couple of them were using it because they had it pulled up and were trying to figure out what some of the pieces were, so hopefully a lot of people are using the tool,” Wilkinson said.

Reeger said the feedback he has heard on the app has been similarly positive.

“They’ve really enjoyed just learning about the artist and seeing photos of the piece,” Reeger said. “It encourages people that I’ve talked to. They said ‘Oh I didn’t even realize that piece was on campus or just half a mile away.’ If they are interested in seeing more pieces, part of the Red that Colored the World exhibit, Post said it allows for the museum to showcase why they are the largest clothing and textiles collection at a university in the country.

“This shows the breadth of the museum’s collections,” Post said. “We’re not just science, and we’re not just art.”

The Ladies in Red exhibit will be showcased in the museum until Feb. 2, 2019. The museum, located at 3301 4th St., is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and is closed Mondays. @DailyToreador

Florence pours on rain amid flooding fears EW BERN, N.C. (AP) — The Marines, the Coast Guard, civilian crews and volunteers used helicopters, boats and heavyduty vehicles Saturday to rescue hundreds of people trapped by Florence’s onslaught, even as North Carolina braced for what could be a fearsome new stage of the disaster: widespread, catastrophic inland flooding.

The death toll from the hurricane-turned-tropical storm climbed to 11.

A day after blowing ashore with 90 mph (145 kph) winds, Florence practically parked itself over land all day long and poured on the rain. With rivers swelling toward record levels, thousands of people were ordered to evacuate for fear the next few days could bring the most destructive round of flooding in North Carolina history.

More than 2 feet (60 centimeters) of rain had fallen in places, and the drenching went on and on, with forecasters saying there could be an additional 1½ feet (45 centimeters) before Sunday is out.

“I cannot overstate it: Floodwaters are rising, and if you aren’t watching for them, you are risking your life,” Gov. Roy Cooper said.

A s o f 11 p . m . , F l o rence was centered about 40 miles (65 kilometers) east-southeast of Columbia, South Carolina, amd crawling west at 3 mph (6 kph) — not even as fast as a person walking. Its winds were down to 40 mph (75 kph). But with half of the storm still out over the Atlantic, Florence continued to collect warm ocean water and dump it onshore.

In its initial onslaught along the coast, Florence

buckled buildings, deluged entire communities and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses.

But the storm was shaping up as a two-part disaster,

with the second, delayed stage triggered by rainwater working its way into rivers and streams. The flash flooding could devastate communities and endanger dams, roads and bridges.

they are more likely to visit those because the app will show the pinpoints on where they are and how close they are to art.”

Updates to the app are coming, Wilkinson said. Google analytics will be added so that they can get a better idea of who is using the app, at what time, where, and more.

There will also be precreated lists, like a list of pieces that light up at night, she said. There will also be videos with the artists talking about their pieces.

“Before the app, they (the artists) helped write the plaques that go with each piece so that’s part of their voice, but I think they enjoy actually talking about the piece and that people can kind of hear their perspective and their process,” she said.

Hannah Estes, a junior math/computer science double major from Queen Creek, Arizona, has used the app.

Estes said the app is a great way to learn about art.

“Everyone has a phone and so putting all of the information about the art on campus into one app makes the information much easier to find than before,” Estes said.

The app is an important tool to access and learn the art around campus, Wilkinson said. There are not a lot of other apps like ‘ArTTrek’ around right now, making it a

FOOTBALL

Bowman, Henry, Wesley emerge as Tech’s triple threat

By NOAH MICIOTTO

TOP: Freshman running back Ta’Zhawn Henry looks up at the referees during the Texas Tech football game against the Houston on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018, at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Henry rushed for 111 yards during the game, a season high for the Red Raiders. LEFT: Junior wide receiver Antoine Wesley catches the ball for a touchdown during the Tech’s game against Houston. Wesley broke Tech’s single-game receiving record with 261 yards during the game.

During their second win of the season, three Texas Tech Red Raiders led Tech’s offensive performance of 704 yards.

Freshman quarterback Alan Bowman threw the rock, junior wide receiver Antoine Wesley received it and fellow freshman running back Ta’Zhawn Henry carried it in record-breaking fashion.

“You know, those guys stepped up,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said on the trio.

Bowman’s second start at the Jones was a historic one, as the true freshman totaled 605 yards along with 5 touchdown passes. He surpassed former Red Raider Patrick Mahomes II’s Big 12 single-game passing record for a freshman.

Bowman’s poise and ability to make quick reads set him

apart from other young quarterbacks. Though Bowman is on pace to set many more records in the near future, a large portion of the true freshman’s success must be attributed to Tech’s receiving corps.

“The receivers are playing really well,” Kingsbury said.

Kingsbury’s statement on the receivers was proved true by Wesley, who collected 261 yards on the day to set a Tech single-game receiving record. He also had three touchdown receptions on the day. Bowman tossed 13 of 43 pass completions to the junior wide receiver.

Wesley, along with sophomore T.J. Vasher, are the outside receivers for Tech on most of its spread formations.

Both pose an imminent threat on both sides of the field for opposing defenses. By placing a large focus on the wideouts, the middle of the field is often

“(Accuracy) has been his strong suit. He hangs in the pocket, he gets through his reads and then he makes accurate throws,” Kingsbury said.

“He missed a couple that he doesn’t miss early, but he kept battling. He’s very poised.

So, he’s got some intangibles.

We’ve got to keep working.

We’ve got a lot to work on, but he’s got some intangibles.”

During the 2017 season, Tech struggled to find its quarterback of the future. Former Red Raider Nic Shimonek was given the reigns in his senior season, but that provided Tech a short-term solution at best.

Toward the end of the year, Kingsbury turned to sophomore McLane Carter as a potential successor. Carter didn’t last long as the starter, as Kingsbury went back to Shimonek with the game against Texas on the line. After Shimonek finished out the season and went on to the NFL, Carter remained the sole Tech quarterback with a start on his resume.

Three quarterbacks entered 2018 with a chance to be the starter for Tech and Bowman had the worst chances of any

of them. Carter provided an experienced option that would be more of a game manager for Tech and allow his teammates to step up and perform, while sophomore Jett Duffey provided an electric, dynamic option that had plenty of flashy play potential, at the cost of being risky with the football.

Bowman was the odd man out. He had zero collegiate experience, several scouting reports questioned his ability to make big plays and as a three-star prospect was seen as more of a project than an immediate impact player.

As expected, Bowman did not win the offseason quarterback battle, instead entering the season as the backup to Carter. Despite all of this, it was just a matter of time until he would get his chance.

Now, after a three game outing under center, the quarterback job appears to be firmly in Bowman’s hands, despite Kingsbury’s insistence on a quarterback competition.

Carter is set to return in the following weeks, but unless Bowman struggles heavily down the line in conference play, it is

highly unlikely that Kingsbury turns away from the freshman.

“We’ll see. We’re going to evaluate everything. Once again, I said it from day one, I felt like we had three guys capable of leading the offense and I think you’ve seen at times that all three could, and that’s a good problem to have. So, we’ll get everybody healthy and see where we’re at,” Kingsbury said.

For Bowman, the time is now to establish a name for himself. He currently ranks No. 1 and No. 4 in the Big 12 and NCAA respectively for passing yards, pass completions and total yards. He plays in an offense that fits his strengths and he does so efficiently. Kingsbury’s high tempo, fast paced offense requires a dynamic quarterback with some dual-threat ability, but Bowman takes that to the next level with his accuracy.

With conference play the next hurdle on the schedule, Kingsbury and Bowman will be hard at work preparing for Oklahoma State, a team that defeated Tech last season by just a touchdown. After putting up 77 points against Lamar and

BOWMAN

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 In just his second collegiate career start, Bowman had a career outing, finishing the day with 605 yards and five touchdowns on his way to setting the Big 12 freshman single-game passing record, previously held by former Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes II. Bowman’s impressive display helped Tech to a 63-49 victory over the Cougars and gave the team its second win of the season.

Despite losing the preseason quarterback battle, Bowman has handled the job well in lieu of injured junior starter McLane Carter and there seems to be no looking back for the Red Raiders.

Despite being pulled out at half against Lamar and entering the game midway through the first against Ole Miss, the true freshman has thrown for 1,160 yards in three appearances, all while throwing eight touchdowns with no interceptions.

He has proved to be efficient, with one sack and a 70.7 completion percentage.

a weak zone for defenders; therefore, Tech’s run game is primed for optimal success due to the wide receiver’s threat on the numbers.

“Having me and T.J. on the outside opens up the run, so I’m definitely proud of that.” Wesley said.

Henry rushed for a season game high of 111 yards against the Cougars in addition to collecting four touchdowns on the day.

The freshman running back was the first to score in the game, as he had a threeyard touchdown run with 12:58 remaining in the first quarter. On the play, Henry powered through a Cougar tackle to break the plane with only inches to spare.

Fast forwarding to 10:49 in the third quarter, Henry put Tech into the lead with a 19-yard touchdown rush that shifted the momentum

of the game.

The three offensive catalysts have collectively reached 1,739 yards in Tech’s three games this year. Bowman accounts for 1,160 yards of the trio’s total yardage, according to Tech Athletics.

“I’ve said it all along, there’s an expectation at Texas Tech that started a long time ago that we’re going to play really good on offense. When guys graduate, things happen, people move on, that expectation doesn’t change, and that’s how we coach it, and that’s how the players practice it.” Kingsbury said when asked on his ability to build quarterbacks and receivers.

The Red Raiders will next take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22, in Stillwater, Oklahoma for the first conference game of the season. @NoahMiciottoDT

63 the week before, Tech will be able to hang with any Big 12 team at that tempo if Bowman continues to protect the football and put his receivers in position to make big plays.

“I mean, time will tell. We haven’t gotten to conference yet,” Kingsbury said. “That was a nice step in the right direction, but I’ve said it all along, there’s

an expectation at Texas Tech that started a long time ago that we’re going to play really good at quarterback and play really good on offense.

Red Raiders primed for conference play

By SAMUEL MEDLIN Staff Writer

The No. 24 Texas Tech soccer team is set to begin conference play against West Virginia, Friday, Sept. 21, at 7:15 p.m. at the John Walker Soccer Complex in Lubbock.

In 2017, the Red Raiders finished with a conference record of 2-4-3, according to Tech Athletics. Their two conference wins came against Kansas State and Oklahoma.

Last year when the Red Raiders visited West Virgina, they ended up with a 1-1 tie in double overtime, according to Tech Athletics.

It was one of Tech’s three ties of the season.

The last time Tech claimed a Big 12 Championship title was in the 2015-2016 season, when they beat the Kansas Jayhawks a 1-0 loss in the final round of the tournament,

according to Tech Athletics.

The Red Raiders currently have a 7-1 record with one game to go before conference play gets underway, according to Tech Athletics. Tech’s upcoming matchup will be against Loyola Marymount.

Prior to the upcoming conference play, Tech secured two solid wins coming against Florida International University and Oregon State University, according to Tech Athletics. The Red Raiders scored a season high six goals against FIU, with four of those goals coming in the second half.

“We’ve been the better team in most of our games but just had trouble putting anybody away,” head coach Tom Stone said, following Tech’s win. “In this particular case we just unloaded in the second half, it was really just a mentality change.”

Junior forward Jade King is Tech’s leading goal scorer heading into the tough part of the schedule, according to Tech Athletics.

King has netted six shots on the season, putting her in a tie for first in the Big 12 in goals scored.

Sophomore goalkeeper Marissa Zucchetto has had several solid performances so far in the season, according to Tech Athletics. Zucchetto has maintained a goals against average of .40 through a total of eight games.

Sophomore forward Kirsten Davis, sophomore forward Ally Griffin, and freshman defender Cassie Hiatt are the next leading goal scorers for the Red Raiders, according to Tech Athletics.

All three of the mentioned players have notched two goals on the season and are

Tech set to begin 2018-2019 campaign Mahomes throws 6 TDs, Chiefs hold off Steelers

By SAMUEL MEDLIN Staff Writer

The No. 15 Texas Tech men’s golf team is set to continue the 20182019 campaign with the Showdown in the Rockies, hosted by the University of Utah, on Monday, Sept.

17, in Driggs, Idaho.

Tech had plenty of familiar names return to the roster for the fall 2018 season, according to Tech Athletics. Some of the notable players include senior Ivan Ramirez, senior Adam Blomme, junior Sandy Scott and redshirt sophomore Kyle Hogan.

Last year as a junior, Ramirez finished the season claiming two top-five as well as three top-10 finishes and boasted the sixth lowest strokes per round average in program history with an average of 72.2, according to Tech Athletics.

Blomme helped lead Tech’s run in the postseason last year, according to Tech Athletics. He tied for seventh in the NCAA Columbus Regional, help-

ing boost the Red Raiders into the next round, then proceeded to make it all the way to the match play quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament, where he beat his Alabama opponent 1-up, Tech went on to lose to Alabama.

Scott nabbed two top-10 finishes throughout last season, according to Tech Athletics. He also played a big part in the Red Raiders’ playoff run, shooting a final round 70 that helped advance Tech to the NCAA Championship.

Hogan is an up and coming sophomore who played as an alternate throughout last year, according to Tech Athletics.

He snagged one top-10 finish in eight events and had a 75.16 scoring average in 25 rounds played.

The Red Raiders completed their first tournament of the season, the Carmel Cup, with a total team combined score of 7-under par, according to Tech Athletics. Tech finished the event in sole seventh place with one player securing a top-10 finish.

Ramirez led the Red Raiders in scoring for two out of three days of the event, according to Tech Athletics. He was one of two players to card a 6-under par 66 during day two of the tournament. Ramirez finished the event with a total individual score of 8-under par, tied for ninth place.

The other Red Raider to record a 6-under par 66 during day two was Hogan, according to Tech Athletics.

He finished the tournament with a total individual score of 3-under par, finishing in 22nd place.

Freshman Markus Braadlie made a strong debut, firing in a 6-under par 66 in the first round of his collegiate career, according to Tech Athletics.

Braadlie finished his first career tournament tied for 32nd place with a total individual score of 1-under par.

The Red Raiders are coming off one of their most successful seasons in program history and hope to keep the momentum alive in their upcoming campaign. @SamMedlinDT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Tyreek Hill turned to face the cameras when the hottest quarterback in the NFL looked up, saw a potential traffic jam and urged his Kansas City Chiefs teammate to conduct his business elsewhere.

“Don’t do that here,” Patrick Mahomes said with a laugh.

Hill responded by shuffling a few steps clear of Mahomes’ stall.

Good idea. There’s little doubt who is calling the shots now in Kansas City.

It’s the first-year starter with the big arm.

Mahomes tied a franchise record with six touchdown passes and the Chiefs held off the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 42-37 victory Sunday that showcased why Kansas City traded away veteran Alex Smith in in the spring and put the team in the hands of a 22-year-old with all of one career start under his belt.

“He had a couple good plays you know,” coach Andy Reid said after Mahomes led Kansas City to its first win in Pittsburgh in 32 years.

Maybe more than a couple.

Mahomes, who turns 23 on Monday, finished 23 of 28 for 326 yards. His 10 touchdown passes through two weeks are the most ever by a quarterback through two

games in NFL history. Heady stuff for a player who spent almost all of last season on the bench watching Smith guide the Chiefs to a fourth playoff berth in five years.

“You never expect to have 10 touchdowns at this point in the season,” Mahomes said.

“But I knew with this offense and the weapons that we have and the scheme coach Reid has drawn up that we had a chance to be really, really good and the possibilities are endless.”

It sure looked that way while Mahomes spread the ball to seven different teammates, five of whom reached the end zone. Travis Kelce caught seven passes for 109 yards and two scores. Tyreek Hill, Chris Conley, Kareem Hunt and Demarcus Robinson also hauled in touchdown passes as the Chiefs (2-0) recovered in the second half after blowing an early 21-pont lead.

“I see Pat doing this all season long,” Kelce said.

“He’s got the confidence. As long as we give him time and get open as wide outs and tight ends and running backs, he’s going to be able to get the best out of everyone.”

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger shook off an achy right elbow that limited him in practice during the week, completing 39 of 60 passes for 452 yards and three touchdowns. The

Rather than attempt an onside kick, Pittsburgh sent it deep.

Red Raiders to begin Big 12 Conference play

By GABRIELLE TAITE Staff Writer

The Texas Tech volleyball team is set to begin conference play, starting with Baylor at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 19 in Waco.

The Red Raiders most recently competed in the University of Texas Rio Grande tournament, where the team won all three of its matches, according to Tech Athletics.

Tech head coach Tony Graystone said he is very proud of the team’s performances against Houston Baptist, Rio Grande Valley and Texas Southern.

“It was a good weekend overall,” Graystone said. “We played really good on Friday.

That was nice to see us put everything together and beat a good team in their gym. It was nice to get everybody on the court and work through some stuff. We ended things the right way, and now we’ll turn

our attention to the Big 12.”

Some Big 12 teams the Red Raiders defeated in the 2017 season include West Virginia, Texas Christian University and Kansas State, according to Tech Athletics. In addition, the team defeated TCU both times they faced off against each other. Tech will first take on the Baylor Bears who are currently 8-3 overall, and 6-1 at home. The Bears most recently defeated both the University of Texas at San Antonio and Virginia Tech in the UTSA Invitational.

Graystone said despite collecting their recent victories, the Red Raiders are always looking to improve.

“We just want to keep getting smoother and cleaner,” Graystone said. “We just want to add to our game, so we’re trying to work on our transitions right now and just add a little bit here and there to our offense. We also

want to get our defense a little bit cleaned up and just make sure that we’re not doing anything that would make us beat ourselves.”

Following the match against Baylor, Tech will return home for the first time since August to take on West Virginia, according to Tech Athletics. Other Big 12 teams the Red Raiders are set to play include Iowa State, Kansas State, TCU, University of Oklahoma, University of Kansas and the University of Texas at Austin.

Graystone said the team is prepared to take on other Big 12 teams.

“They know what’s waiting for them,” Graystone said. “A week from now, we’re going to be heading down to Waco and start with conference play.

They know what’s ahead and I think we all know that this is our last chance to get some things ironed out.” @TaiteDT

Buccaneers stun Eagles, 27-21 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for more than 400 yards and four touchdowns for the second straight week, leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 27-21 victory over the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Filling in for suspended quarterback Jameis Winston, the 35-year-old Fitzpatrick completed 27 of 32 passes for 402 yards and has the suddenly explosive Bucs off to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2010.

DeSean Jackson scored on a 75-yard reception on the first play of the game. O.J. Howard also had a 75-yard TD catch in the first half for Tampa Bay, which stunned New Orleans 48-40 on the road in its season opener.

Nick Foles threw for 338

yards for the Eagles (1-1), who rallied from a 20-point, third-quarter deficit.

The Super Bowl MVP’s 2-yard TD pass to Nelson Agholor on fourth down trimmed Tampa Bay’s lead to 27-21 with 2:46 remaining. The Bucs didn’t give the Eagles’ injury-decimated offense a chance to finish the comeback.

Fitzpatrick, a 14-year veteran and one of four players in NFL history to throw TD passes for seven franchises, produced a couple first downs on Tampa Bay’s ensuing possession to drain all but 19 seconds off the clock.

Chris Godwin and Mike Evans had TD receptions of 8 and 4 yards, respectively, for the Bucs. Jackson, who had two TD receptions before leaving the season

opener with a concussion, finished with four catches for 129 yards.

The Eagles opened the season with Foles throwing for just 117 yards in an 18-12 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

They drove 78 yards in 13 plays to pull even with Tampa Bay in the second quarter, only to watch Howard turn a short pass into another long TD by eluding two defenders and turning up the left sideline. Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby was unable to chase down the 6-foot-6, 251-pound tight end.

Foles finished 34 of 46 with no interceptions. Corey Clement scored on a 15yard run in the first half, and Jay Ajayi’s 2-yard TD run began Philadelphia’s rally from a 27-7 deficit.
