2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Students share opinions on candidates

By SHASHIDHAR SASTRY Staff Writer

With the presidential primaries and caucuses fast approaching, debates have grown increasingly heated among the presidential candidates and their supporters alike.

Still more than a year away from the general election, eager Americans have started forming opinions early.

“This election cycle is something that our generation has never seen before. We have 16 Republican candidates. That not just shows how diverse our party is, but more importantly how

diverse our country is,” Abigayle Spencer, chairwoman of Tech College Republicans, said.

A cycle has developed within the last 24 years, with the political party of the U.S. president alternating every eight years.

Spencer said she feels confident the U.S. will have a Republican president after Barack Obama.

Economic and fiscal policies will play a pivotal role in the upcoming elections, she said, because the United States needs better economic and fiscal policies and a more conservative foreign policy.

GREEK LIFE

Pi Kappa Phi raises funds through pie throwing

By JENNIFER ROMERO L a Vida editor

ANNA CLAIRE BEASLEY/The Daily Toreador

Mia Martinez, a freshman from Midland, winds up for a solid throw of her pie into the face of Pi Kappa Phi member Andrew Ngo, a junior electrical engineering major from Dallas. The pie throw was hosted to raise money for The Ability Experience, an organization that constructs play units for children with disabilities.

Fraternities and sororities have national philanthropies they partner with, and they often volunteer with or host fundraising events for these organizations.

The Texas Tech chapter of Pi Kappa Phi hosted the event Pie a Pi Kapp from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday at the Free Speech Area of the Student Union Building.

Andy Koke, a junior marketing major from Plano and philanthropy chair for Pi Kappa Phi, said the event was an easy and cost effective way to raise money.

“Since we’re a growing fraternity, our numbers have grown exponentially in the past two years that I’ve been here. It’s running smoothly now,” he said. “We’re a small fraternity, but we’re on the rise.”

The fraternity set up a plywood board with a hole cut out for a person’s face, and people passing by could buy a pie tray filled with whipped cream for $1 to pie one of the fraternity members.

Anyone could participate in the event, and Pi Kappa Phi had a card reader so people without cash could still donate.

“This is our second or third time doing it, and every time we’ve raised a lot of money,” Koke said.

“Now that we have the card reader, anyone can come up and do it.”

Members of the fraternity spread out across the Free Speech Area asking people to donate, and people could choose which member they wanted to pie in the face.

William Catalan, a sophomore business major from Dallas, throws a pie in the face of Lon Bates, a freshman marketing major from Richmond, on Tuesday.

For $1, participants could throw a pie at a Pi Kappa Phi fraternity member to support children with disabilities.

All the members of Pi Kappa Phi took turns getting pied, and they all laughed and encouraged the donators to completely cover the members’ faces with the whipped cream.

“At first (the members) were a little hesitant to do it, but once it starts getting going, everyone has a great time out here,” Koke said.

“It’s nice to see everyone have fun and get together for a good cause.”

All of the proceeds will go to Pi Kappa Phi’s national philanthropy, The Ability Experience, and Koke said the fraternity established and owns the organization.

The Ability Experience helps those with disabilities, according to its website, and it builds play units for children with disabilities and funds many other projects.

“They raise awareness about people with disabilities,” Koke said. “That gives us an open range to support anybody. We usually work with the Burkhart Center, and we’ve also given money to veterans.”

Mark Gregoire, a junior mechanical engineering major from Boston and member of Pi Kappa Phi, said the fraternity donates playground equipment and hosts summer camps for children with disabilities.

Pie a Pi Kapp is one of the most successful fundraising events the fraternity hosts, Gregoire said, and it tries to host the event at least once a semester.

The Smart Choices label helps identify grab-and-go foods with less than 400 calories, according to the Smart Choices website, and the Smart Choices outlet in the Student Union Building offers salads, wraps, baked potatoes, fruit and juice.

Alan Cushman, Hospitality Services manager of business development, said he has seen more students becoming health conscious throughout the years and wants to offer healthier choices at all 21 of Hospitality Services’ locations.

“A big drive of what Mindy does and what Hospitality Services does as a whole is try to create an atmosphere that’s going to help students make the right choices,” Cushman said.

eral Credit Union stood out from the other credit unions because of the nontraditional benefits it offers employees, Tyler Young, human resources director of the Texas Tech Federal Credit Union, said.

Each employee receives a day per quarter to volunteer at a nonprofit organization in Lubbock, Young said.

Every employee also gets his or her birthday off of work.

“These benefits have set us apart from other employers and have made us an attractive place to go to work,” he said.

The core values each employee is taught also attracted attention to the credit union, Young said. “ We c a l l t h e m o u r TREKS values,” Young said. “The T is for trust, the R is for respect, the E is for excellence, the K is

for kindness and S is for stewardship. Every employee knows these values and they are a big part of company life here.”

Only 45 credit unions across the nation receive this honor, he said. This was the first year the Texas Tech Credit Union participated in the contest.

The credit union was listed as number one best credit union to work for in

its category, Young said, which is a prestigious honor.

The focus now is to continue providing these benefits for employees, Young said.

“This honor is something that we can share as the Texas Tech Federal Credit Union,” Young said.

“It’s also something we can celebrate with Texas Tech as a whole.”

and the way it is, it’s just natural that it will most likely be a Republican candidate winning the 2016 election,” Spencer, a senior political science major from Broomfield, Colorado, said.

The voice of the middle class will be heard only through the election of a Democratic president, Destiny Molina, president of Tech Student Democrats, said.

“I feel that our party really does care about the underdog. We’re pretty much fighting for the underdogs,” Molina, a junior political science major from Lubbock, said.

President Barack Obama achieved much during his

administration, she said, although many people fail to realize it.

Health care has been and always will be a major concern for all citizens, Molina said. The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, was launched during Obama’s administration and is aimed at helping the common American, but is often poorly understood by the public.

“Obama was really relentless on giving up,” she said. “He did not want to give up on getting that Affordable Health Care Act passed, and even though the Republicans shut down the government pretty much, he still persevered

through that.”

Democratic candidates such as Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are focusing on business and on helping people, Molina said, and presently democratic position seems strong.

Republican candidate Donald Trump, on the other hand, is merely playing around and picking on people instead of announcing his plans for America, Molina said.

“He’s probably not a true politician, so to say,” Molina said.

“He’s more of a businessman. So, he’s more in it for a profit.”

Even some Republicans seem to agree.

“I think the big hype is on Donald Trump right now, but I think he’s a terrible candidate. He’s a jerk,” Andres Chapa, a Republican and a junior mechanical engineering major from Spring, said. “I think he’s an idiot, as well. But I’m rooting for Ben Carson.”

Chapa said he watches the presidential debate highlights because they are useful in conveying the opinions of the candidates to the public and allows them to make informed decisions.

Issues such as health care, affordable education, Planned Parenthood and birth control have always been sensitive issues and reasons for tension within the government, Molina said. These issues will play a major role in the upcoming elections.

“Any Democratic candidate is a win for us. We want to keep the White House blue,” Molina said.

Brandon Orwa, a senior human development and family studies dual major from Arlington, said he does not lean toward either of the political parties and finds the U.S. political system corrupt.

“I wouldn’t say I’m a Democrat or a Republican, I’d say whatever’s best for the country,” Orwa said.

Because both Republican and Democrat policies have good and bad sides to them, he said, it is important to look closely at the policies themselves before judging.

Te c h D e m o c r a t s a n d Tech Republicans collaborate on events intended to spread awareness about politics, Spencer said.

Molina said Tech Student Democrats will be hosting TTU Student Choice 2016 for raising political interest among Tech students and making them more aware.

“Tech Student Democrats’ job right now, and what we are mainly focusing on, is getting information out to our student body and educating them about each candidate.

Democrats and non-Democrats alike, we want everyone to be aware of what their vote is going for, who their vote is going toward,” Molina said.

Student wins Miss Lubbock pageant

By JENNIFER ROMERO L a Vida Editor

Pageants allow women to showcase a variety of skills, and a large amount of scholarship and talent are involved.

Sydney Webster, a junior public relations major from Lubbock, won the Miss Lubbock pageant on Sept. 19.

Webster is the feature twirler for the Texas Tech Twirlers, and she said she had never competed in a beauty pageant before Miss Lubbock.

“There was no reason for me not to do it because I was prepared,” she said.

“I always thought about it, but I never did it. Now that I’m more mature, I could handle it better.”

None of her friends have ever competed in pageants before, Webster said, and the experience was completely new for her.

As part of the pageant, contestants needed to develop a platform, Webster said, and the judges asked her how she would achieve the goals in her platform.

“There’s lots of scholarship involved,” she said. “My platform for the Miss Lubbock pageant was getting kids involved.”

As Miss Lubbock, Webster will be closely involved with the community, and she said she plans to visit local elementary schools to

encourage children to be involved in positive activities while they are young.

“It’s important for kids to be involved in something,” she said. “It can be anything. It’s important to find your passion when you’re young.”

I think she would make a great representation for Lubbock and for the state of Texas.

BETHANY TOLLEY TECH TWIRLERS COACH Miss Lubbock is selected based on a contestant doing well in all categories, according to the pageant website, because the winner will be a role model for the entire community.

Webster will compete in the Miss Texas pageant in July 2016, and she said Debbie Staudt will coach her, Miss Brownfield and Miss Lubbock Outstanding Teen throughout the year.

“My platform for Miss Texas is going to be the importance of organ donation,” she said. “I have a full year to prepare, perfect my talent and work on polishing the whole thing.”

Webster’s entire family came to watch her compete

in the pageant, she said, and both her family and friends were supportive of her decision to enter the competition.

Lyndzie Allbright, a junior human development and family studies major from Odessa, said Webster is one of her closest friends.

“She’s a great friend and really talented,” Allbright said. “She did amazing (in the pageant). We were all so proud of her. We were probably more nervous than she was.”

Webster competed in evening wear, fitness and lifestyle, talent and interview categories, and Allbright said she thought Webster did well in all of them.

Bethany Tolley, coach for the Tech Twirlers, said she has known Webster since the new Miss Lubbock was 4 years old.

“She excels in what she does, and she’s a very hard worker,” Tolley said. “I thought (pageants) were something that she should be doing. She has a talent she can show off, she’s beautiful and she’s very personable. I think she would make a great representative for Lubbock and for the state of Texas.”

Webster is strong in her twirling ability, Tolley said, and she is entertaining to watch.

Twirling requires sweat, practice and tears, and Webster said she enjoys both competitive and football season

twirling performances.

“Twirling focuses on athleticism,” she said. “Miss Texas focuses on your inner view of yourself and talent is just a portion of the pageant.”

Webster started twirling when she was 5 years old, she said, and she stays busy between twirling and taking classes.

She had no expectations of how she would do in the pageant, she said, and she encourages other people to try new experiences if they get the chance to.

“I would tell them just to try it,” she said. “There’s something out there for everyone and somewhere for everyone to fit in.”

Allbright said she knows Webster will do well as Miss Lubbock, and said she and other friends will be there to support Webster at the Miss Texas pageant.

Webster wants to have a career in international public relations when she graduates, she said, and her pageant experience will help her build beneficial skills.

“In public relations you need to know how to speak to people, and you need to be confident in large crowds,” she said. “That’s what pageants are about.

You have to represent what you believe in, and that’s applicable in any career.” @JenRomeroDT

Tunnel shows forms of oppression

By RYAN ORTEGON Staff WritEr

Texas Tech University Student Housing is hosting the annual Tunnel of Oppression, and students can come to the Red Raider Ballroom in the Student Union Building to learn about the many forms of oppression.

The Tunnel of Oppression is a maze-like structure constructed in the SUB featuring various rooms and scenes.

Each small room features various skits, monologues and videos displaying different kinds of situations in which issues like racism and sexual assault are brought to life.

The entire experience is a walkthrough lasting about 15 to 30 minutes with a 30-minute reflection with a representative from the Student Counseling Center afterward.

Each skit has its own unique message and is sponsored by a different housing complex.

After a walkthrough of different emotional experiences within each room, students are brought to the Wall of Hope, where they can write an inspirational message and pin it to the wall, as well as take one from the wall that suits their current situation.

The Tunnel of Oppression is a grassroots diversity program, according to the housing website, and it originated in 1993 at Western Illinois University. The goal of the tunnel is to make

elicited a lot of different emotions and really opened up your eyes into a lot of different issues and maybe how you can impact the community around you in a positive light.”

Jacobson said the display emotionally impacting him the most was the sexual assault monologue.

“It just shows you that it’s a prevalent issue that is not discussed as commonly as it needs to be,” he said.

“It really is an issue, and it’s starting to gain some notice and we’re starting to talk about it more and help those around us deal with it.”

Many classes, including some Raider Ready courses, require students to go to the tunnel as part of their grade,

ter for events online.

Pi Kappa Phi will host other events later in the semester, Koke said, including a stationary bike event soon.

“There’s such a stigma about fraternities that tends to be negative,” Gregoire said. “This shows that we do give back and we do care. It shows our level of commitment to helping our community.” @JenRomeroDT

which is another way housing gets students to come learn about oppression.

Emily Stafford, manager for social justice, education and community outreach, said she hopes the tunnel will make a significant impact on the Tech community.

“We like to highlight multicultural diversity and social justice issues and educate students about the different things that are going on in the community,” she said. “Our hope is that after coming through tunnel of oppression, students will feel inspired to go be a positive influence on their community.”

Stafford said there is no

one specific issue in today’s society that is more important than the other. She said all issues are important despite their media coverage.

“I would say that all of the issues that we highlight within the tunnel are ones you might see in today’s society,” Stafford said. “I think that some issues may be talked about a lot in the media while for other issues there may not be as much discussed in the media about those things so we try to highlight a wide variety of issues.”

The tunnel will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. through Wednesday evening. @DailyToreador

Healthy lifestyle more than diet, exercise

B

eing healthy is much more than the food one eats or the physical activities one participates in. Almost every aspect in people’s lives affects their health.

Healthy living includes happiness, sleeping, working, eating and even breathing correctly. All of these things and more determine your health.

In a Psychology Today article titled, “10 Common Mistakes That Prevent You from Being Healthy,” writer James Clear doesn’t even mention what people eat or how they exercise.

Instead, Clear specifically talks about other issues affecting individual health.

In the article, Clear directs the readers to other articles, databases or studies to back up his suggestions.

A c c o r d i n g t o C l e a r, the first mistake people make is “avoiding deep and meaningful connections,” which include close friendships, staying in contact with family or maintaining an intimate relationship with a husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend.

Using his research, Clear demonstrates that people with strong social

ties lead a healthier life.

Clear also establishes that people in long-term relationships such as marriage have a lower risk of depression, suicide and substance abuse.

Another important attribute Clear points out is the importance of breathing. It may seem like a simple task everyone has mastered, but Clear’s concept of breathing is more about taking the time to just relax.

Taking time out of a busy day to focus on nothing but breathing seems similar to meditation, which has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety, according to Clear’s article.

During the days when I’m running around from class to class, rushing to finish essays or studying for tests, I’ll feel so overwhelmed that I absolutely have to take a break, go into my room, turn off my

lights and just breathe.

So I can confirm from personal experience that taking a timeout every once in while is not only rejuvenating but will clear one’s head of some serious clutter.

Being in college can be stressful, so staying healthy is a top priority to keep up with school life and a social life. Being healthy means being happy and energized and stress free. This doesn’t mean students will never stress out after following these tips, because college itself is a stressful environment. These are just some tips on how to properly handle stress when it seems too overwhelming.

Sleep is a large part of being healthy and remaining alert throughout the day.

According to Aetna’s article, “Why Sleep Hygiene is Important” by wellness program strategy leader Cheryl Jones, there are a few specific components to maintain good sleep hygiene.

According to Jones, “the most important sleep hygiene measure is to maintain a regular wake and sleep pattern seven days a

week.” Unfortunately, this may not be realistic for active college students because of all-night cramming or late night study sessions every now and then.

However, maintaining a constant sleep schedule will result in more alert days.

Jones states exercise can promote good sleep, especially when it’s done in the morning or late afternoon. She also warns to stay away from food or stimulants such as coffee right before going to sleep because they can disrupt your night.

After doing a little research, it becomes evident that maintaining a healthy lifestyle or body is much more complex than just monitoring eating or exercise.

Being healthy involves not only the physical or external parts of a person, but also the emotional and psychological matters. We already have enough to worry about as busy college students, so we might as well keep ourselves in healthy condition and ready to face anything that comes our way. emartinez@dailytoreador.com

Most readers no longer understand the word “man” to be synonymous with “person,” so clear communication requires writers to be more precise. And using gender-neutral language has become standard practice in both journalistic and academic writing, as you’ll see if you consult the style manuals for different academic disciplines (APA, MLA and Chicago, for example).”

The University of North Carolina claims this as the main rational argument for the changes.

This guide also encourages students to use Ms. instead of proper forms of Mrs. and Miss, supposedly to

prove a point that civilization is becoming outdated with its gender roles.

It is foolish to think some words like “freshman” or “policeman” still reinforce stereotypes. The word mankind is synonymous with the world “everyone.” To force a change would belittle people’s intelligence even further through this pursuit of pointless political correctness.

In a Sept. 22 Libertarian Republic article, writer Lauren Southern says, “It seems that changing the entire language structure is easier than teaching students that both genders have the right to pursue nurse or doctor positions. University leaders and employees seem to have minimal respect for students’ intelligence, considering how most would consider this to be basic knowledge.”

I often wonder how this is not considered censorship. For example, the famous Star Trek quote will now be, “where no one has gone before,” as an alternate form of, “where no man has gone before.” The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines censorship as “a person who examines books, letters, etc., and removes things that are considered to be offensive, immoral, harmful to society, etc.” If that is true, who has the right to decide what is offensive for a whole society?

The word “mankind” is synonymous with the word “everyone.”

To force a change would belittle people’s intelligence even further through this pursuit of pointless political correctness.

Furthermore, I can’t help but wonder what would hap-

pen if gender neutrality were to be implemented in other languages like Spanish or French, where every noun is attributed to a gender. Translations could then become an issue when dealing with the genderqueer population who only make up a small portion of society.

The only caveat in the University of North Carolina’s guideline is tricky: “tackling gendered references in your writing can be challenging, especially since there isn’t (and may never be) a universally agreed upon set of concrete guidelines on which to base your decisions. But there are a number of different strategies you can ‘mix and match’ as necessary.” They sure promote freedom of speech with that statement.

The one high priority of any higher educational system should be to help students understand others in a changing environment, but making language too dense and complex will only cause confusion. kkimberlin@dailytoreador.com

or a multitude of reasons, the oil industry is often hyperpoliticized. It’s the primary battleground between proenvironment and pro-industry groups, and the oil boom during the last few years, in large part thanks to the widespread use of hydraulic fracturing to extract hydrocarbons from shale formations, has only intensified that fight.

But the market sharply declined in the second half of 2014. According to CNBC’s stock summary, the price of West Texas Intermediate Crude, which is used as a benchmark for oil prices in general, fell from $95.11 per barrel on June 30, 2014, to $52.51 per barrel on Jan. 19, 2015. After prices experienced a small rebound and then remained largely steady, they fell again to $41.01 per barrel on Aug. 17 and have stagnated in the mid-40s since.

The most obvious effect people notice is the corresponding drop in gasoline prices, which of course makes consumers very happy. Spending less money filling up their gas tanks means consumers have more money to spend elsewhere, which is generally a good thing.

So many unused rigs equate to many more workers who don’t have jobs. A Sept. 21 article in The Houston Chronicle states 196,000 oilfield jobs have been cut worldwide since the bust began.

The effect people often don’t notice is the effect it has on those whose livelihood depends on the industry, and I’m not talking about the millionaire Halliburton CEOs you often hear about from anti-industry types. I’m talking about the average middle-class worker.

When prices drop as precipitously as they have, it becomes much less profitable for exploration and drilling companies to produce oil. As is the case with all businesses, an oil company’s primary goal is to make money.

If a company is not making money, it’s going to cut costs. Some of that will come from halting drilling operations, while some will come from layoffs. This is basic economics.

Halting drilling operations also affects the oilfield service industry, because if exploration and production companies aren’t drilling, there are no jobs for service companies and they too will lay off workers to keep from going under. This includes drilling fluids companies, equipment and materials providers, pipeline companies, trucking companies and many others.

This is especially a problem in Texas, where so much of the economy relies on the oil industry and so many workers get their paychecks from it. Those who haven’t already been laid off at this point are most likely concerned about that possibility.

The extent of the bust is staggering. The Texas Railroad Commission issued 864 drilling permits in August, compared to 2,440 permits in August 2014, according to a Sept. 16 article in The Houston Chronicle.

Andrew Gleinser is The DT’s editor-in-chief and a third-year law student from Kingwood.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration said daily production in the Eagle Ford shale formation in South Texas has fallen by 300,000 barrels since April.

To put that in perspective, one barrel is equal to 42 gallons, which means daily production in the Eagle Ford has dropped by 12.6 million gallons.

Collin Eaton, oil and drillers reporter for The Houston Chronicle, tweeted on Sept. 4 that the Texas land rig count dropped to 375. One year prior, it stood at 905. Take a drive down to the Midland area and you can see a plethora of unused rigs lined up next to each other in service yards.

So many unused rigs equate to many more workers who don’t have jobs. A Sept. 21 article in The Houston Chronicle states 196,000 oilfield jobs have been cut worldwide since the bust began. 700 more job cuts in Texas have been announced for the coming months.

ConocoPhillips announced it would lay off 10 percent of its workforce, according to a Sept. 5 article in the San Antonio Express-News, while Marathon Oil suffered a $386 million net income loss in the second quarter.

The downturn also has its effects outside the oil industry itself. According to the Express-News article, “DeWitt County’s total property value, much of it based on oil and gas wealth, fell by $1.15 billion this year, down 16 percent.”

The housing market in Houston is also slowing down, because, “as goes the price of oil, so goes the housing market,” according to a Sept. 9 article in The Houston Chronicle.

The good news is the bust won’t last forever.

The oil industry has gone through this before, most notably in the 1980s.

Prices will eventually go back up — it’s just a matter of when.

Some experts say they could start going back up as soon as next year, while others think it will take a few years for prices to even get back to $70 or $80 a barrel. So many factors, both foreign and domestic, affect the price of oil, so the future can be hard to predict.

The bottom line for oil industry workers is the longer the bust lasts, the more difficult the job market will be. The longer prices stay this low, the more layoffs companies will be forced to make, and the longer it will take for laid-off workers to find new jobs in the industry.

While many consumers like paying lower prices at the pump, we have to recognize that comes with a cost. Families across the country, especially in Texas, are struggling as a result of the oil industry bust.

Personally, I don’t mind paying a few extra dollars for a tank of gasoline if it means the industry is stable. Hopefully, in the interest of the thousands of workers whose living depends on oil production, the industry will rebound sooner rather than later. editor@dailytoreador.com

Tech volleyball’s offense is Grubb’s full-time job

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

When one of Texas Tech’s outside hitters or middle blockers jams in a kill for a point, junior setter Marguerite Grubb has a role in the offensive play.

At the setter position, Grubb commands and positions the offense full time.

While Tech switches liberos, outside hitters or middle blockers, Grubb remains on the court since she has no backup.

Even in Tech’s recent fiveset contests, Grubb only rests when Tech heads to the locker room after the second set or when either Tech or its opponent calls a timeout.

Although she feels the physical demands of her fulltime position, Grubb said, she feels at ease on the court despite the added pressure and relishes the extra time she spends on the court.

“It can get tiring of course, playing that much,” Grubb said. “I’m happy to do it. I love being out there so I’m not complaining that I get to play.”

The 2015 Tech roster lists freshman Morgan Reed as the team’s other setter, but while she learns Tech’s system of play and develops, Grubb said she commands the Tech offense.

Grubb began producing offensive plays in 2013 when she began her freshman season.

Like a manager walking to the mound to give a starting pitcher a quick talk after seeing some wildness in their pitches, Grubb had to confront

a hitter for not running a play as intended, she said. Starting out, she found it difficult to point out a hitter’s mistakes as an underclassman.

“For me it was really intimidating, I’m not a very outspoken person so it’s hard to get on the hitters when they’re not doing what they need to be doing,” Grubb said. “It’s just hard to try to be a leader on the court as a freshman.”

In her first year as a Red Raider, Grubb played in 19 sets, but her workload hiked to 58 sets in her sophomore year. Grubb split playing time her sophomore year with former Tech setter Emily Ruetter, but when Ruetter transferred to Ohio State upon her graduation, Grubb found herself as the leading choreographer of Tech’s point creation.

Heading into her third season, Grubb said she needed to learn the pitch preferences of Tech’s six incoming freshmen hitters.

“Every hitter is going to be different, some hitters need the ball higher or faster,” Grubb said. “You have to adjust a little bit, but it comes with the territory.”

Grubb, as the sole setter in the 2015 season, blasted her statistics to career highs in just 54 sets. At the end of her sophomore season, Grubb compiled 558 assists in 58 sets. In her junior season, Grubbs already has 598 assists.

Tech coach Don Flora said Grubb’s presence on the court has helped the 2015 team build its identity as she un-

“Every year has its own pulse, its own sense of who they are and I like the pulse of this team because of our depth, from top to bottom we have people who can step up and help us,” Flora said. “I think Marguerite’s presence has really stepped up.”

Much changed for Grubb since her freshman season, she said, but she has not

struggled to voice how she wants to run the offense.

“I think I’m a lot more confident. It’s hard being an underclassman and try to run the show as a freshman,” Grubb said. “I think now that I’m upperclassman, junior, I’m a lot more comfortable with a team and voicing my opinion and being the leader I’m supposed to be.” @DGaytanDT

Battling the Bears

All-time series lead on line Saturday

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY

T

Staff Writer

he winner of the Texas Tech game against Baylor on Saturday will take the lead in the all-time series between the two teams, as it is currently deadlocked at 36-36-1.

The in-state rivalry began in 1929 in Waco when the Bears shut out the Matadors 34-0 and then 32-0 in 1931.

The first time Tech won was in 1932 by a score of 14-2. The Matadors secured the win with a pick-six in the fourth quarter.

The two teams met in Lubbock for the next seven matchups spanning 15 years, as games did not take place during World War II, according to The University Daily.

The lone tie in the series came during that stretch in 1945 as the game finished 7-7.

When the rivalry began alternating between Waco and Lubbock more regularly, the Bears rattled off 11 consecutive victories from 1947 to 1960.

On Oct. 21, 1961, the Red Raiders beat the Bears 19-17. It marked the first time since 1946 Tech had beat Baylor.

Former Tech player H. L. Daniels kicked a field goal to win the game for the Red Raiders.

“Greatest feeling I’ve ever had. Listen, now I want you to tell them it was the team that won this game — not me,” he said, according to an article in The Toreador. “They should get the credit. They pushed the ball down there for me to get a shot at those goals posts and I knew I had to kick it for them.”

Through 1968, Baylor continued to have an advantage in the series, pushing the alltime record to 19-7-1.

Tech then went on a run and finished with a winning season almost every year from 1969 to 1978, as the team went 9-1 against Baylor.

The Bears reclaimed the upper hand in the series after that until the mid-1990s.

On Oct. 5, 1996, the Red Raiders started the most dominant stretch in the historic rivalry.

From 1996 to 2010, Tech won every matchup. Tech won 15 games in a row against Baylor, with most of the wins

Baylor won the game 66-42. coming in dominant fashion.

Throughout Kliff Kingsbury’s career as a quarterback, 1999 to 2002, the Red Raiders never lost a game in the series.

In 2000, Kingsbury completed 33 out of 50 passes for 322 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, according to the Tech Athletics website, and led the team to a 28-0 win.

In Kingsbury’s junior season, the Red Raiders won 63-19 behind 518 yards of offense and five forced turnovers, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador. The 63 points were also a school record in a Big 12 game at the time.

Kingsbury threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns, according to the website.

“We talked all week about starting fast,” he said. “We came out and executed real well early and things just kind of snowballed for us.”

In 2009, the two teams started traveling to a neutral site, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, and the Red Raiders are 4-2 there, with their last win coming in 2010.

Baylor started its current four-game winning streak with a 66-42 shootout victory in 2011.

Former Tech wide receiver Eric Ward set the school record with 16 catches, but

former Baylor quarterbacks Robert Griffin III and Nick Florence combined for six touchdowns, including one to now Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrance Williams.

In 2012, the Bears scored 17 points in the fourth quarter and won 52-45 in overtime as Tech quarterback Seth Doege’s 417 yards of offense and four touchdowns were not enough.

Then in 2013, Tech was handed its fourth loss of the season by the Bears after the Red Raiders had started the season 7-0.

Last year, the game appeared to be over with the Red Raiders down 42-17 late in the third quarter. Behind freshman quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ 629 yards and six touchdowns, Tech came within a failed two-point conversion of tying the game at 48.

At 2:30 p.m. this Saturday, Tech will attempt to snap No. 5 Baylor’s four-game winning streak in the series and take the all-time advantage in a series that stretches across 86 years.

“At the end of the day, whether we want to beat them or not, we have to do our jobs,” senior linebacker Micah Awe said. “To do our job, especially as a linebacker, I have to do calm, cool and collected.” @JeremyK_DT

Tech seeks first Big 12 road win

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

After a road match versus the Iowa State Cyclones, the Texas Tech volleyball team continues its Big 12 Conference road schedule versus the Baylor Bears at 7 p.m. today in the Ferrell Center.

The Red Raiders face Baylor after a three-set loss to the Cyclones in the Hilton Coliseum in their first Big 12 road test.

Junior setter Marguerite Grubb said Iowa State forced a strong offensive push versus the Red Raiders from the start of the match.

“Iowa State just put a lot of pressure on us,” Grubb

said. “We need to just learn how to cope with that pressure and make sure we’re not getting down on ourselves and letting the other team go on a lot of point runs.”

On its home court, Iowa State began its match versus the Red Raiders with a 25-19 first set win.

Tech lost the second set 28-26 in extra frames after the Cyclones knotted the match at 23 points to force overtime.

To close out the match, the Iowa State defense stepped up and the team rolled to a 25-18 win.

Tech coach Don Flora said Foust’s award shows Tech’s defensive development.

“It’s an important statement on where we are in total,” Flora said. “I think blocking we’re doing some really good things so that helps us get better defensively behind the block.”

In 2014, Tech broke a decade-long drought versus the Bears on the road by defeating Baylor in five sets.

For Baylor, the matchup versus the Red Raiders marks its home Big 12 opener. Baylor enters the game after a 3-0 loss to the Kansas State Wildcats on the road in its first conference matchup. The loss to the Wildcats set Baylor back to an 11-3 overall record.

After opening the Big 12 with a win and then losing to Iowa State on the road, Foust said the team wants to regain its energy and prevent the burning feeling a loss leaves behind.

“We felt the difference between playing at home and away,” Foust said. “Now we know what we exactly need to do, so going to Baylor and having another chance to play away will definitely be a test, but I think we’re ready to go at it.” @DGaytanDT
