With Oklahoma bout looming, Tyner, Duffey headline starting QB options

By MAX HENGST Sports Editor

Texas Tech football’s Head Coach Matt Wells announced sophomore quarterback Alan Bowman will miss several weeks due to a shoulder injury he suffered in the Red Raiders’ game against Arizona on Saturday, leaving the starting quarterback job open for the upcoming game against Oklahoma.

Bowman’s injury occurred early in the second half after he was thrown to the ground, landing on his left shoulder. Before the hit that sent the quarterback to the locker room for evaluation, Bowman threw for 166 yards, according to statbroadcast.com. Bowman then

returned to lead the Red Raiders on the next offensive drive and finished the game with 311 passing yards.

Despite finishing the game against Arizona, Bowman will be out for several weeks, allowing senior Jackson Tyner, junior Jett Duffey or another backup QB to lead the Red Raiders.

Bowman is the second quarterback to suffer an injury preventing him from play as freshman Maverick McIvor will also miss a majority of the season. Wells said McIvor will be possibly out until Nov. as the freshman had surgery on his foot after suffering an injury in a scrimmage in the preseason.

The most experienced quarterback on Tech’s roster, Tyner, has

appeared in 16 games as a collegiate quarterback, according to sports-reference.com. Tyner started his career at Rice in 2016 after he redshirted in 2015, giving him an extra year of eligibility.

In his first season at Rice, Tyner appeared in four games, throwing for 318 yards while recording 44 rushing yards and 24 receiving yards, according to sports-reference.com.

After his first two appearances, Tyner threw for 54 yards and rushed for 27 yards before having a breakout game against University of Texas at El Paso.

Against the Miners, Tyner recorded 196 passing yards and two passing touchdowns while also receiving a single pass for a 24-yard touchdown, leading the Owls to a 44-24 win.

Tyner saw the most playing time in his 2017 season, appearing in six games for the Owls, according to sports-reference.com. In his sophomore season, Tyner recorded 598 passing yards, 44 rushing yards and 17 receiving yards. The quarterback set a career-high in Rice’s game against Pittsburgh as he threw for 222 yards and a touchdown, despite throwing three interceptions.

Last season, Tyner appeared in four games for Rice, according to sports-reference.com. Tyner only threw 20 passes with nine of them being completions for 132 total passing yards. The junior’s game against Houston was Tyner’s biggest game as he threw for 88 yards. Tyner did not throw a single touchdown in his

LOCAL

final season with the Owls as he transferred to Tech after the season.

After the first three games of Tech’s season, Tyner made two appearances as he played at the end of the games against Montana State and UTEP, according to sports-reference.com. The senior graduate transfer attempted three passes and one rush, recording six rushing yards.

Although Tyner has more overall experience as a collegiate quarterback, Duffey has had the most experience with Tech’s offense as a backup and starting quarterback.

Duffey has appeared in nine games with the Red Raiders and has thrown for 1,241 yards.

Free Clinic serves community, trains TTUHSC medical students

By AKHILA REDDY Copy Editor

SARAH VECERA-KING/The Daily Toreador

The Texas Tech Health Sciences Center features a free medical clinic that sees patients without insurance.

Stepping into the Free Clinic on any given Wednesday evening, the hallway is brimming with patients and the sound of waitingroom chatter. Several of the clinic’s patients — young and old, from across Lubbock — each have their own ailments, yet all share one key trait: a lack of health insurance.

These patients comprise part of the estimated 18 percent of the Lubbock population below age 65 that is uninsured, according to the Urban Institute, a demographic with limited access to healthcare.

“These are members of the community that don’t have places to go [for care], or I should say, they have minimal options,” Ana Garcia, Texas Tech University Health Science Center first-year medical student and student liaison on the Free Clinic leadership team, said.

To help meet the needs of this portion of the community, the Texas Tech HSC and Lubbock

Impact, a local non-profit, host the Free Clinic weekly on Wednesday evenings, offering free care for uninsured patients from ages 18 to 65 residing in Lubbock, Garcia said.

The clinic has been providing this service since 2009, when medical students at the Texas Tech HSC established the clinic, Dr. Fiona Prabhu, Free Clinic medical director, said. Prabhu has been with the clinic since it started.

“Basically the students saw a need and they wanted to be able to reach out to the people in the community who have no insurance, and we finally found a community partner with Lubbock Impact,” Prabhu said.

In the 10 years since its inception, the clinic has facilitated over 13,000 patient visits, according to the Texas Tech HSC website. Last year alone, the clinic served 464 patients in more than 1,224 patient encounters, according to The Free Clinic 2018-19 Annual Report.

Tech staff discuss college impact of state gun laws

By ADÁN RUBIO News Editor

As Texas gun laws went into effect earlier this month, some have questions about how those laws will be enforced. For those at Texas Tech, learning about these laws may be necessary to understand how college regulations will be affected.

Multiple state laws regarding firearms were passed during the 86th Texas Legislature and took effect on Sept. 1, according to the Texas State Law Library website. These laws have a variety of impacts on one’s life, whether it be how one stores a weapon, where one can carry a firearm and what situations a person can have a firearm without being charged.

When considering how these laws affect a person’s life, one may wonder how these laws can impact regulations on a college campus.

GUN LAWS

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Regarding current firearm regulations on campus, Ronald Phillips, Te c h c h i e f c o m p l i a n c e and security officer, said one needs to consider that open carry, which allows a licensed individual to carry a weapon on their person openly, is not allowed on the Tech campus, but concealed carry, which allows a licensed individual to carry a concealed handgun, is allowed on campus. He said a lot of education and training is necessary to get licensed.

The laws that went into effect, there are eight of them, they just loosen some restrictions.

JILL STANGL SLS MANAGING DIRECTOR “Even on campus, there are certain areas where you can’t carry into,” he said regarding Tech Operating Policies and Procedures.

Whether it be exclusionary zones selected by state law, such as government meetings, polling areas, collegiate interscholastic or sporting events and more, or exclusionary zones designated by Tech, such as the Recreation Center, counseling facilities, laboratories and more, according to Tech Operating Policy and Procedure 10.22, handguns are not allowed in certain areas on campus despite concealed carry regulations allowing one to carry a concealed handgun.

With the execution of laws in early September, Phillips said open carry and concealed carry will remain the same. He said the recently added gun laws will not change how the university operates.

Although, Phillips said there could be some indi-

rect effects from these gun laws. House Bill 121 one of the recent gun laws he said could provide some defense for those who unknowingly enter an exclusionary zone on campus with a handgun.

“It provides a legal defense for licensed handgun owners who unknowingly enter into an establishment that bans firearms, and they leave as long as they’re asked to leave,” he said.

If one is prosecuted for accidentally bringing a handgun into an exclusionary zone, Phillips said one could raise the law as a defense if he or she left the establishment after being asked to leave.

Despite this law, Jill Stangl, managing director and attorney at law at Tech Student Legal Services, said people at Tech still need to be cognizant of the signage regarding exclusionary zones. She said a 30.06 sign means one cannot carry a handgun in a certain area even if licensed, and a 30.07 sign means one cannot openly carry a handgun.

“T h a t ’s t h e b i g g e s t thing students need to be aware of when they’re out in public,” she said regarding how people on college campuses can avoid this situation in the first place if they read signs regarding exclusionary zones and remember that they are carrying a handgun.

Regardless, this law could affect college communities in different ways.

“That doesn’t impact us directly,” Phillips said.

“But in a situation where we had a licensed individual carry into a space that was excluded, that could be a defense that they could raise if that incident was prosecuted.”

HB 1177 is another law Phillips said could have an indirect effect on college communities, such as the Tech community.

The law prohibits unlicensed individuals from being charged with carrying a handgun while evacuating from or returning to a declared local or state

disaster area, according to the Texas State Law Library website. Disaster shelters are also allowed to accommodate those carrying a handgun.

Regarding the law being utilized during a situation on or near campus, Phillips said there are a lot of questions on how the law could be executed. “ We w o u l d c e r t a i n l y work with all law enforcement to certainly carry out the intent of any laws that have been passed,” he said regarding HB 1177.

Even though there are multiple laws regarding firearms that went into effect in September, people on a college campus may need to consider the actual impact these laws will have on their lives.

“The laws that went into effect, there are eight of them, they just loosen some restrictions,” Stangl said. “From what I’ve seen, there’s nothing sweeping with these laws.”

TEXAS GUN LAWS •

•

House Bill 121: Provides a defense for licensed handgun owners who enter a gun exclusionary zone on accident and leave after being asked to leave the area.

HB 1177: Prohibits unlicensed people from being charged with carrying a gun when entering or exiting a declared diaster area.

For students who have questions about local and campus laws or require legal services, Stangl said she hears a lot of questions about what is allowed on campus.

“The questions about guns are more what can they do because they don’t want to get into trouble,” she said. “If they have a prior criminal record, what does that mean in regards to their rights to possess firearms and obtain a Li-

cense to Carry?”

Even if there were some slight effects due to new laws, Stangl said there are multiple online resources aimed at informing the Tech community of what is legal regarding campus carry.

“The campus community has done a very good job of getting the word out and what you’re allowed to do and what you’re aren’t allowed to do,” she said.

Education about gun laws and dangerous situations involving firearms may be needed for a college student to know what is allowed on campus.

Tech Police Department Lieutenant Amy Ivey said with recent shootings in Texas, such as the shooting on Aug. 3 in a Walmart in El Paso and the shooting on Aug. 31 in MidlandOdessa, causes an increase in awareness.

“It always heightens their awareness that it could happen here in Lubbock, Texas or the Texas Tech campus just because a lot of these active shooters look for areas where they can create the most mass murder,” she said. “But we do offer an active shooter program where we go out and give it to the faculty, staff and students.”

Educating the Tech community about when one can carry a firearm, whether it be in active-shooter situations or not, is a goal, Ivey said, Tech PD works to accomplish. One should consider that new Texas laws provide different opportunities during dangerous situations.

“It’s just another opportunity for the individuals that are law-abiding citizens, that have their license to carry, that choose to carry it to protect themselves or protect others if there is an event that happens on campus,” she said.

Despite how these state laws will impact colleges, such as Tech, understanding current regulations may be the first step one takes.

“We’ve been fortunate in that we’ve not had very many issues relating to campus carry,” Phillips

WWW.DAILYTOREADOR.COM

said. “The people that we’ve had on our campus that has carried have been responsible and followed

the law and our policies.

We just hope it continues in that direction.” @AdanRubioDT

Hong Kong protesters trample Chinese flag, set street fires HONG KONG (AP) — Protesters in Hong Kong trampled a Chinese flag, vandalized two subway stations and set at least two street fires on Sunday, as pro-democracy demonstrations took a violent turn once again.

The day’s action began peacefully, as protesters filled a shopping mall and, in a new twist, folded paper “origami” cranes that they tied onto a large rigging they assembled in the mall in the outlying Shatin district.

Some put a Chinese flag on the floor and took

turns running over it, before defacing it and putting it in a dumpster outside, which they then pushed into a nearby river.

Hong Kong’s pro-democracy protests, now in their fourth month, have often descended into violence late in the day and at night.

A hardcore group of protesters says the extreme actions are needed to get the government’s attention. On Saturday, police used tear gas and rubber rounds against protesters who threw gasoline bombs toward them and set fires in streets.

Texas law prompts consideration of sexual harassment policies

By ADÁN RUBIO News Editor

Multiple laws passed during the 86th Texas Legislature have a variety of effects on college communities. The law that criminalizes sending unwanted nudes electronically is one that could impact how sexual harassment is handled on campus.

House Bill 2789 went into effect on Sept. 1, according to the Texas Legislature Online website. The law criminalizes sending unsolicited nudes electronically.

One commits the offense when he or she intentionally sends sexually explicit visual material, which can consist of nudes, visuals showing people having sex or visuals of a male with an erection, without consent from the recipient, according to the Texas Legislature Online website. The offense under this law is a Class C misdemeanor.

Regarding the law’s impact among college communities, Kimberly Simón, Tech Title IX administrator, said the department will have to wait and see how students respond to understand if there are any effects on the college population at Tech.

“We’ve had students that have reported that conduct in the past, even when it wasn’t against the law,” she said. “Because our policies and procedures obviously are administrative and not criminal, so that’s always been something that they can file a report under our code of conduct.”

Even though she is unsure if the reporting of unsolicited nudes will go up or down on campus, Simón said the law could have some impact at the college level.

“I think it will at least raise awareness that if somebody received one of these messages, and they’re

not comfortable, this new law may kind of spark them to go, ‘OK, well there’s maybe some recourse to that,’” she said.

For those who want to report a person sending them unsolicited nudes, Simón said someone can make an online report on the Tech Title IX website or come to the office, located in Room 115D of the Administration Building, or visit the Tech Risk Intervention and Safety Education office in Suite 247 of Drane Hall.

When in a bad situation, she said students typically talk to an employee on campus, who are trained to report the information to the correct authorities.

At the Tech, Simón said multiple resources are made available so a student can report an incident in whatever way makes the most sense for them.

“At least at the institution, we try to set it up that regardless of where a student goes they can have all of their options available,” she said regarding if a student wanted to first report the issue to Tech Title IX or to the Tech Police Department.

Provides legal education and services for Tech students Appointments are required Call 806-742-3289 Can schedule appointments from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday Student Union Building Room 307

Regardless of how one reports, Simón said how a campus entity deals with the incident depends on how a student wants to resolve the situation. She said one may just file report, host a mediation between both parties, issue

a no-contact order or take part in a formal hearing.

We’re going to have to have active bystanders on our campus and in the state of Texas.

KELSEY LUECK RISE PROGRAM MANAGER For those who want to report receiving unsolicited nudes to the police, Jill Stangl, managing director and attorney at law at Tech Student Legal Services, said one may not know how this law will be enforced.

“We don’t know how enforcement will be handled at a local level,” she said.

“Because this is a ticketable offense, meaning it’s a Class C misdemeanor, anybody that feels as though they have been the victim of this offense would report it to law enforcement just like they would report anything else.”

Among the many people who have received unsolicited nudes electronically, whether it be on dating sites or not, Stangl said there is a deterrent component to the law.

“Enforcement might be an issue, but the deterrent component seems to be the most important piece to the bill’s author,” she said.

Regarding information and thoughts on the law, Stangl said there is a lot to analyze. She said one would need to see how local law enforcement deals with these issues.

“It will be interesting to see if it gets enforced,” she said.

Despite how the law will be enforced on or off campus, individuals may be able to make an impact.

Kelsey Lueck, program manager for peer education and violence prevention at Tech RISE, said enforcing the law starts with normal people taking action.

“I think this is a person-

led law for sure,” she said.

“We’re going to have to have active bystanders on our campus and in the state of Texas.”

If a student knows of a friend who has received unsolicited pictures from someone, Lueck said it is up to the student tell them about this law. She said one should try to work it into conversations regarding the subject matter of dating and consent.

“I think it’s everyone’s personal mission to inform and educate people about it,” she said regarding how the actual

enforcement is going to come from bystander intervention.

The law can be beneficial for multiple reasons, Lueck said. The laws show that the state government supports healthy relationships and wants people to take a prevention standard to sexual violence.

“The really cool thing that hits home with this bill specifically is this is our state saying that sexual violence isn’t cool,” she said, “that we deserve to be respected as human beings and consent is a big thing.” @AdanRubioDT

True Confessions of a Lazy River Bum W

hen it came time to make my final decision about where to attend graduate school, I considered many factors. These included funding opportunities, professor relationships, research interests, courses offered, etc. Never did I think an outdoor pool should be an element in my decisionmaking process.

To be clear, I did not choose Texas Tech for the Student Leisure Pool, but perhaps I should have. With a 645-foot lazy river, 25 person hot tub, 10-foot drop slide, eight lane lap pool, four lane free play/fitness pool and more, the Texas Tech Student Leisure Pool serves as the largest college campus leisure pool in the United States, according to the Texas Tech Recreational Sports website.

Coming from an un-

Hannah Snidman is a social psychology Ph.D. student from St. Louis.

dergraduate school with only an indoor pool, I was delighted to have access to any outdoor water facility, especially the largest one in the country. After my sister and I drove the 12-hour trek to Lubbock in August, we immediately rewarded ourselves by jumping into the huge outdoor pool. I swam two more times within the first week of classes and plan to go as often as possible before the dreadful day the facility closes for the winter.

As much as I love flipping off the diving board, dropping from the slide

and sitting in the hot tub, nothing comes close to floating in the lazy river.

When I’m not in class, lab or the library, chances are I’m soaking up the sun in the steady stream. Each time I swim in the luxurious pool, I have similar thoughts glide through my mind just as I’m gliding around the aquatic loop.

My first thought—this water temperature is perfect.

Stepping off the hot pavement into the pool, I worry the water will be too hot for my comfort or colder than necessary to cool off from the sun. But to my surprise, it’s just right. I slide into the pleasant water, cold enough to relieve me from the sun but warm enough to keep me from shivering.

Second; wow, I’m moving quickly. The jets propel me forward at a much faster

speed than I anticipated. I struggle to find my footing amongst the rapid current before finally giving in to a floating position. I let the tide carry me around, occasionally checking for other lazy river goers to avoid any collisions.

Third; everyone here is so attractive. I’m a strong believer that every body is a swimsuit body. I love the confidence that exudes from students and families tanning in the sun or chatting in the hot tub. There’s nothing more glamorous than enjoying a summer afternoon lounging by the pool. If you’ve been dodging the recreation center due to appearance insecurities, I promise that you already have a perfect swimsuit body because you can put a swimsuit on your body.

Fourth; tubing is the best way to go. I notice some of

my fellow floaters seem to be in an even more relaxed state than I am as a result of utilizing the pool’s tubes.

They have clear circular ones to prop your legs up and tilt your head back, or rectangular blue sheets to stretch out your full body.

After trying out the two options, I can say they are both solid choices and will definitely enhance the lazy river experience.

Fifth; I could live here.

With the calm music softly playing through the speakers and my toes dragging in the water as my tube is sent along, I am at complete peace. It’s hard to worry about upcoming deadlines or school responsibilities or anything really when the sun is shining and the river is flowing.

Sixth; Where is everyone?

Each time I’ve had the op-

portunity to swim, I have been one of relatively few. In a school of 38,209 students, according to U.S. News and World Reports, I expected the whole place to be packed. Instead, every day that I leave the gym through the pool, I only see a couple of students and faculty taking advantage of the lap lanes and cascading water wet deck.

For selfish reasons, I wish I could tell you that the pool really isn’t that great, and you aren’t missing out if you don’t go regularly. But alas, I am a journalist and therefore committed to only publishing the truth.

Please, don’t sleep on the largest college leisure pool in the country. We’re pretty darn lucky to have such an incredible spot on the campus we call home. @HannahSnidmanDT

Latino community underrepresented in entertainment

T

hink of some of your favorite actresses and actors, writers and producers, singers and band members—now think of their names, where they are from and lastly—think of their ethnicity. There is no shame in saying that some of these names associated with people in the entertainment industry do not represent entertainers of color.

These are your personal preferences and they are valid. You may like certain actors over others because of how well they play their roles, what they stand for or any other reason that attracts you to them. One of these reasons could be

that these are the same performers you see repeatedly—specifically in the film industry. This isn’t to discuss how your likes are wrong, but instead to discuss how there is a lack of representation of people of color in the entertainment industry, specifically those of Latino heritage.

“The Latino community has not been prioritized, and it is imperative that we shed light on the glaring reality of Latino representation in film,” Benjamin Lopez, executive director of the National Association of Latino Independent Producers said.

Sure, you could argue and say that the Latino community is well-represented in Hollywood with household names like Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, Antonio Banderas, Danny Trejo and any other big Latino stars you can think of. These actresses and actors serve in big roles in some of Hollywood’s best films, but the lack of representation comes in the lack of quantity of Latino actresses

and actors. The same big Latino names are the same names that are constantly seen in new films, new shows, new projects, etc. There are no new names; even if names like these are in projects, the roles that these stars are playing are usually confined to the negative stereotypes that America has created for the Latin community.

The Los Angeles Times showcases that in 200 films analyzed, “approximately 25 percent of Latinx speaking characters were depicted as criminals and 17 percent were portrayed as poor or low income. Thirtysix percent of all Latinx speaking characters and 60 percent of top-billed Latinx actors were depicted separately from a larger Latinx community.”

Hollywoodreporter.com points out some interesting observations as well. If any new movies come out that have a strong representation of Hispanics, it is because the movie is based on a Latino storyline, such as the July release of a liveaction film of “Dora the Explorer.” Though, even Latin roots seem to not be enough for Hollywood. “The Curse of La Llorona”, a recent horror film released in April, based on a Mexican folktale, did not even fea-

ture a Latino cast, even when the film took their roots from the culture.

Any new film that comes out that doesn’t require a strong, seasoned cast will most likely feature brand new actresses and actors that aren’t of Latino heritage. Along with this, many Latino heavy films seem to only cater to those of Latino heritage; Hollywood needs to make films with Latin actors and actresses that reach to both Latino and non-Latino populations— just as they would with any other ethnicities in films.

In fact, an article in the New York Times mentions a study conducted by the University of Southern California found that “Of the 100 top-grossing films each year from 2007 to 2018, only three percent featured Latino actors in lead or co-lead roles. Producers and casting executives fared badly, too, with Latinos making up only three percent.” These numbers do not even begin to represent the 18.1 percent population of Hispanics living in the United States.

In comparison to other ethnicities such as African American’s who make up 13 percent of the film population and Asians who make up five percent, Latino's

remain at the lowest represented ethnic group in Hollywood. So, what is the reason behind the lack of representation? Could it be that Hollywood fears a decrease in movie revenue if they increase the quantity of Latino actresses and actors in new breakout films?

“Latinos are not only prominent and loyal in the consumer market but also make up one of the largest demographics at the box office every opening weekend,” Gina Rodriguez, star of “Jane the Virgin” and “Something Great,” said, in a 2018 essay she wrote for Variety. “The fact that we are not seen on screen despite our vast contributions is devastating.”

Hollywood’s inclusiveness seems to not be so inclusive to the Latino community. While other ethnicities are building rapport in the entertainment industry, it seems that Latinos are struggling to make their voices heard and their faces known. Of course, as mentioned earlier, the community has their “token” stars, but where are the new faces?

In a country where Latinos are already struggling to prove themselves and have acceptance with all the political turmoil surrounding them, where are the accurate and true depictions

of Hispanics in the film industry? Why can’t a Latina take the lead role in a new breakout film? While these questions may seem like they are only rhetorical—to many, they are harsh truths.

Another statement in her essay, Rodriguez says, “To be invisible in a world of loud voices is heartbreaking and dehumanizing. The underrepresentation of Latinos in Hollywood both on and off screen is not just a feeling; it’s a sad reality.”

Young kids of Latino ethnicity should be able to watch a movie and see someone that looks like them, playing a positive role. Latin teenagers should be able to see people their age, representing them in films that take over the box office. Latin young adults should be able to see a glimpse of their future in films where successful people, heroes, happy families and icons are a representation of them.

The time is now, Hollywood: the lack of representation is no longer something that can be avoided. With the increasing Latino population, there needs to be an increase of Latino representation; take your chances on those who are taking a chance on themselves. @AngConterasDT

Alumni Association president reviews first term

By ALESSANDRA SINGH Staff Writer

Curt Langford is the n e w f a c e o f t h e Te x a s Tech Alumni Association (TTAA), as he was named President and CEO of the association a year and a half ago. According to his c o l l e a g u e s , L a n g f o r d ’s passion and energy are the qualities that are most admirable about him.

Be i n g a R e d R a i d e r himself, his mission for the association is one word: belonging.

Langford attended Tech and earned two degrees from the university.

“This position means homecoming to me,” he said. “I was born and raised in Lubbock, son of a faculty member. Grew up around this campus so I have childhood memories here.”

Langford’s start in the alumni business is not recent, he said. He got his start when he was a student at Tech where he worked at the association when it was previously known as the Ex-Student Association.

Closer to his graduation, with plans to move to Dallas for a job, he received a call from previous TTAA director, Bill Dean, offering him a full-time spot at the Alumni Association.

“I was just here working as a student trying to help pay my way through college and was planning on moving to Dallas, had a job waiting for me in Dallas,” he said. “Then I got called in. Bill Dean, who was the prior director here, called me in asking if I’d be interested in coming on full-time, and that was great, I wasn’t expecting to do that”.

When Dean had decided to retire, the national search for a new candidate started,

and Langford applied for the position, he said.

Working all over the country and at several different universities, he was pleased to get the call back and experience what he explained as homecoming.

Dawn Moreno, executive associate to the president and CEO and scholarship coordinator, said Langford made everyone’s opinion matter.

“He’s wonderful,” she said. “I think one of the things about Curt is he’ll sit down and listen to you, and if you have an idea, he’ll visit with you about it. (He) really supports everybody, every team member in this building.”

This position means homecoming to me. I was born and raised in Lubbock, son of a faculty member.

CURT LANGFORD TTAA PRESIDENT, CEO Jim Douglass, vice president for development, said it was hard to pinpoint Langford’s best quality. He found Langford’s best quality to be his collaboration skills, the ability to bring several aspects together.

“What Curt has, I think, that not everybody has is the ability to kind of see how all the parts scattered can fit, (and) how they all fit together for the good for everybody,” he said. “I think that is one of the main things he brings to the table to this association.”

Langford takes pride in the stories of his Red Raiders, he said. He stated every Red Raider has

Texas Tech Alumni Association President Curt Langford is coming up on his one year anniversary as president. a story and even has the quote stenciled on the wall of his office.

His favorite part of the job was the opportunity to meet new people and collect their stories along his journey as president, he said.

“There’s been a lot of people, old friends who’ve come in to say hello or to congratulate me or others that just wanted to meet me,” Langford said. “I’ve got that (office door) open usually all the time. You know, the opportunity to meet you all, knowing where you’re from, what brought you here, hearing those stories I think is what I enjoy the most.”

Not only does every Red

Raider have a story, but Langford said in terms of the association, join is only a four-letter word to him.

He wants people to belong to the association.

Moreno said Langford’s mission has worked and gave the example of how personable he is.

“When we have people come in and visit, he’ll give a tour of the building himself or he’ll sit down and ask their story,” she said.

“You can just tell it makes such a big difference to people because they are like, ‘Wow, someone here really cares and is happy that I’m a Red Raider.’”

Langford’s love for the Alumni Association is unique in the eyes of his

colleagues, Douglass said.

He described Langford as someone who has the want to do it all and how that alone is an inspiring trait.

“He wants to do everything he can,” he said.

“He gets frustrated when he’s got conflicts and he’s got two to three things on the same day, same time and he can’t do them all.

If could find a way, he would. That’s admirable.”

Langford has been a representation of continual growth, Moreno said.

A man of passion, energy and work ethic had stood out to his colleagues.

Langford is proud to come back and help the institution he loves as the Alumni Association presi-

dent and CEO, he said.

“I never left Lubbock, but I traveled a lot,” he said. “To be able to come back home and work for my alma mater day by day and whatever travel I do is on behalf of Texas Tech allows me to really focus in on my first love which is this institution.” @ASinghDT

CLINIC

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 The clinic is run with volunteers from Tech, TTUHSC and Lubbock Impact, as well as local physicians doing pro bono work. Last year, there were 372 volunteers at the Free Clinic, among them 202 TTUHSC students and 49 physicians, according to The Free Clinic 2018-2019 Annual Report.

Medical students who volunteer play a significant role in patient care at the clinic, Garcia said. Typically, first or second-year medical student see patients first to obtain a brief history of why patients are at the clinic and do a quick physical. Then, they partner with upperclassmen to come up with a plan which is presented to a physician.

“It’s great because we do get to see patients so we do get to take our own history, we do get to take vital signs, we get to do a physical exam, so it is hands on, but obviously we defer all sorts of medical planning to people that actually know what they’re doing,” Garcia said.

Working at the Free Clinic is a valuable opportunity for medical students to train as physicians, Prabhu said. Being able to watch the medical students grow and develop over time is her favorite aspect of her work at the clinic. “[Medical students volunteering at the Free Clinic] learn about a variety of illnesses that they’re only

Moreover, the work in the clinic can help connect students to the reasons they are pursuing medi-

cine amidst the tedious process of learning in medical school, Prabhu said.

“We give them a stronger sense of responsibility for their patient care and so that kind of helps them understand why they’re doing this and makes them want to keep helping those who are in need,” she said.

Working in the Free Clinic has been a personal

reminder of why Garcia is pursuing medical school, she said. It is a chance to break from the schoolwork and constant studying required of medical school and remember her motivations.

“Everything we’re studying and everything that we may complain about with the schoolwork, there’s people at the end of it, there’s patients that are

struggling, that need our help and if we can provide like any sense of relief then it’s, it’s just a great thing to be part of,” Garcia said.

Uninsured patients often do not have alternatives besides the Free Clinic where they can be seen, highlighting the importance of the services provided, Sydney Loy, a second-year TTUHSC medical student and member of the Free Clinic leadership team, said.

Patients at the clinic are being seen by real physicians and are getting seen multiple times in one night, ensuring a thorough exam, Loy said.

“I just think you know for most patients we are their primary care so if we’re not here, they don’t really have another option so we need to be here so they can get the best care,” she said.

The benefits of the Free Clinic extend past the patients themselves to Lubbock as a whole, Garcia said. If patients are not treated for their ailments or diseases, their condition will worsen and they can become a bigger strain

on the community. “[Seeing the patients at the Free Clinic] helps the community as a whole because otherwise these patients end up having to go somewhere like the emergency room or other places and they don’t have insurance that’s going to cover those costs a lot of the time so it’s just very important that they have someone that they can go to,” Garcia said.

Ultimately, it is the patients that keep Garcia coming back to the clinic, as difficult as the work may be. The patients are some of the most grateful individuals, she said.

They are people who simply want to get better so they can go on and contribute to the community, she said. They are humans, and like everybody else, should be seen when necessary.

“You realize at the end of all of this it’s a person and it’s a person that needed help and they didn’t know where to go and they were able to come here and we were able to provide some sort of relief and they’re just so, so very grateful,” she said. @AkhilaReddyDT

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Houston area sees relief HOUSTON (AP) — Emergency workers used boats Friday to rescue about 60 residents of a Houston-area community still trapped in their homes by floodwaters following one of the wettest tropical cyclones in U.S. history.

At least four deaths have been linked to the remnants of Tropical Storm Imelda, which deluged parts of Texas and Louisiana and drew comparisons to Hurricane Harvey two years ago. Of-

ficials took advantage of receding floodwaters to begin assessing how many homes and cars were flooded.

Almost 16 feet of standing water was reported in Huffman, northeast of Houston, when a nearby bayou overflowed. The Harris County Sheriff ’s Office deployed its marine unit to evacuate the around 60 residents. Officials have warned residents they might not see high waters recede in their neighborhoods until the weekend.

Tech prepares for Big 12 competition

By ARIANNA FLORES Staff Writer

The Texas Tech soccer team will start Big 12 play against Oklahoma State at 7 p.m. on Thursday at John Walker Soccer Complex.

Last year, Tech went 5-3-1 in conference play, according to Tech Athletics. This year with new players on the field, including freshman defender Hannah Anderson, the Red Raiders hope to bring a championship ring back to Lubbock.

For Anderson, every Big 12 team Tech will play is a new opponent that she has never faced, she said. The competition will be harder than what they have played, but since she is a rookie, she is putting trust in her team to help win these games.

“I don’t really know the teams because I have never played them so I think taking it game by game and listening to the coaches with what our game plan is going to be and

focusing on how we play as a team is going to be really important with our success and how we do with these conference teams,” Anderson said.

Already playing 648 minutes this season, the most playing time out of all the freshmen this year, according to Tech Athletics, Anderson said she likes having upperclassmen give her advice and helping her get better on the field.

“The captains always reassure me and say that even though I am a freshman, I can help the team out,” Anderson said. “So just hearing from seniors on the team that you can be influential player even at a young age is just awesome and helps me build my confidence when I am on the field.”

Anderson has scored three goals this season, one against Oral Roberts, another during the Abilene Christian and the latest one in Washington against UC Irvine, according to Tech Athletics.

“For me it is crazy because I

am a defender so that (scoring) usually doesn’t happen, but every time I score it is just a huge privilege and just it’s amazing,” Anderson said. “Especially as a freshman, it’s really different to have that perspective of the game since I am always defending.”

Tech has the most wins and the longest winning streak out of Big 12 teams, but the Red Raiders’ next opponent, Oklahoma State, posts a 7-0-1 overall record this season, according to the Big 12.

The Red Raiders only have nine games against their Big 12 competitors to earn a spot as a championship team, just as they did in 2015 after they beat Kansas 1-0 for the program’s first Big 12 Championship title, according to Tech Athletics.

“Hopefully we can get a ring, but I am just excited to play with these group of girls and prove to the rest of the nation and the conference that we are here to play and that we can play well,” Anderson said. @AriannaFloresDT

Tech College Football Hall of Famer dead at 81

By MAX HENGST Sports Editor

Former Texas Tech football player and College Football Hall of Famer E. J. Holub died at the age of 81 on Saturday.

Holub was a two-way player for the Red Raiders from 1958-60 as Tech transitioned from the Border Conference to the Southwest Conference, according to a Tech Athletics news release. In his time at Tech, Holub became the first Red Raider in school history to be honored with first team All-America accolades twice in a career (1959 and 1960).

Holub was inducted in the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame

in 1986 as he went in the Texas Tech Hall of Fame in 1977, according to the release. Holub also finished 10th in the Heisman Trophy voting his senior year at Tech and was recently named into the 2012 Ring of Honor class.

After college, the Dallas Texans drafted Holub with the sixth pick in the 1961 AFL Draft according to the release.

The Texans transitioned into the Kansas City Chiefs, appearing in Super Bowl I as a linebacker and Super Bowl IV as the center and deep snapper, according to the release. Starting at two different positions, Holub is the only player in history to do so. @MaxHengstDT

Red Raiders set to begin conference play

By JAY STRADER Staff Writer

Texas Tech’s volleyball team will play its first conference game against West Virginia at 6 p.m. on Wednesday in the United Supermarkets Arena as the Red Raiders are 4-0 at home this season.

The Red Raiders are coming into Big 12 play with a 10-4 overall record after going 3-0 at the Red Raider Classic. The Big 12 hosts several volleyball talents with Texas, ranked at three, and Baylor, ranked at five, being the top of the class.

Baylor will enter Big 12 play undefeated at 8-0 as the Bears are ranked fifth nationally while Texas is ranked third in the nation, posting a 6-2 overall record following an upset, losing to Rice.

Iowa State, Oklahoma and West Virginia and Tech, posted winning averages above .625, according to the Big 12.

In the 2018 season, three Big 12 teams fin-

FOOTBALL

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 In his freshman season with the Red Raiders, Duffey appeared in a single game against Eastern Washington, according to sports-reference.com. Duffey completed both of his pass attempts for 16 total passing yards as he also ran for six yards on four rushing attempts.

Last season, Duffey saw more playing time after Bowman missed several games due to one of his lungs collapsing on two separate occasions in his 2018 season.

With Bowman out, Duffey led the Red Raiders in seven games, helping Tech defeat Lamar, Texas Christian and Kansas, according to sports-refer-

ished the season being ranked in the top 50 teams, according to NCAA.com. Four more Big 12 teams finished in the top 75, Tech being one of them.

Baylor and Texas were the only teams to represent the Big 12 at the NCAA Tournament last year, according to NCAA. com. The Longhorns advanced to the Final Four before losing to Brigham Young University, while Baylor made it to the Sweet Sixteen before losing to Oregon.

Texas, Baylor and Iowa State finished atop the Big 12 standings last season, followed by Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas Christian, and Tech, according to the Big 12. Kansas State and West Virginia finished in the bottom two spots of the Big 12 as West Virginia was the only team who finished the season with a losing record, according to Big 12 sports.

The Red Raiders defeated Baylor in Waco last year and followed

with a win against West Virginia, Iowa State and Kansas State before earning their first conference loss of the season against TCU. Tech went on to lose four more conference games to Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, and West Virginia, before beating TCU, bringing their conference record to 5-5, according to Tech Athletics.

Tech finished Big 12 play losing five of their last six games, according to Tech Athletics. The Red Raiders’ only win of the stretch was against Kansas State.

A Big 12 sports article predicts Texas, Baylor and TCU as the top three teams in the conference this year. The conference ranked the Red Raiders as the second to last team in the rankings.

The Red Raiders will look to make the NCAA Tournament this year as senior Emily Hill, Lindsey Dodson and Lauren Dodson said it is their top season goal for the team.

ence.com. Duffey threw for 1,221 yards and eight total touchdowns while gaining 369 yards on the ground and four rushing touchdowns. The sophomore set his career-high in passing yards against Texas as he threw for 444 yards and a career-high four passing touchdowns.

Duffey finished the 2018 season with a 143.5 passing rating as he completed 67.5 percent of his passes on 154 attempts.

As Tech has completed three games in its 2019 season, Duffey’s only appearance was against University of Texas at El Paso, where he completed his only pass attempted for a four-yard gain, according to sports-reference.com.

Along with Bowman, Mc-

Ivor, Tyner and Duffey, Tech has a fifth quarterback on the roster, freshman Logan Greene who has not made a single appearance this year, according to Tech Athletics.

The Red Raiders’ first game without Bowman will be at 11 a.m. on Sept. 28 against Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma as both teams will be coming off bye weeks. The game will start conference play for both the Red Raiders and the Sooners.
