Kutscher’s experience on game days By SYDNEY BANOVIC Photojournalist
Editor’s Note: This story is the beginning of a series the publication will run starting on Monday, Oct. 8, entitled: What Time Does Your Game Day Start. Vignettes will be published leading up to the homecoming game. Paege Kutscher, first-year business major from San Antonio, attends the Texas Tech football games and participate in the traditions as a first-year student. Kutscher said she looks forward to this season of football, in particular, because of participating in the traditions of throwing tortillas and chanting the fight song, Kutscher said.
“I try to follow as many traditions as possible when attending a game,” Kutscher said. “Throwing tortillas while waiting in line was one of the many traditions that I looked forward to the most when attending a game.” Through the celebration of a winning game, meeting friends in larger groups and even tailgating, safely, of course, Red Raider fans are beginning to adjust to the post-pandemic norm after the 2020 football season had limited tailgating and stadium capacity. Kutscher said the enjoyment of her experience at football games goes beyond the traditions and celebration of football. Winning a game is not

Events for homecoming are scheduled all through out the week leading up to the game. the only thing that she looks forward to the most on game day, Kutscher said, it is the culture of Tech commemorat-
ing the players’ efforts despite the result of the game. “I look forward to encountering the true col-
lege football experience,” Kutscher said. “By being able to tailgate and to support fellow college students
is truly the best part about attending Tech.” By attending a game, Kutscher said, she feels as though she has started to experience the true Red Raider involvement as a new attendee of games. Despite being her first time attending games, it feels as though she is made right at home Kutscher said. “I most definitely feel the most connected when attending a Tech game,” Kutscher said. “It’s a moment of realization when I got to a game that ‘I am actually at Texas Tech’, this realization makes my experience attending extremely memorable.” @SydneyBanovicDT

HOMECOMING
Coaches, presidents talk about homecoming events By TANA THOMPSON Staff Writer
Texas Tech Homecoming week begins Monday, Oct. 4, and ends after the homecoming football game versus Texas Christian University at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 9. The week leading up to homecoming is filled with events that faculty, staff, students and the community can take part in. The events that take place during homecoming week have been happening for years, and students are encouraged to attend, Colin Owens, president of the Student Activities Board said. “Monday, Oct. 4, we do our kickoff event where we announce the royalty homecoming court and have free food and T-shirts. On Tuesday, Oct. 5 at 8 p.m., we have S.O. Sing, which is a music and dancing competition,” Owens said. “We have a Greek life category and an organization category. They all have themes for homecoming week, so the groups make a song about their theme that they selected and they put their twist into it and they do a DNS battle” Parker Napp, president of the Saddle Tramps, said
each organization has a homecoming board. It is a large wooden pallet that they paint based on their theme. This year, the Saddle Tramps theme is “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Homecoming week kicks off on Monday, but the main events begin on Thursday, Oct. 7, Napp said. “Thursday at 5:30 is the TECHsan memorial, which is held to recognize the students, faculty, staff and alumni who have passed away during the previous years, and family and friends are always welcome,” Napp said. “After that we have one of the most important events that we do on Thursday for a home football game.” E a c h T h u r s d a y, t h e Saddle Tramps take part in the wrapping of the Will Rogers statue and Soapsuds in preparation for the next football game. This tradition has been taking place for over 50 years, Napp said. “We have a bunch of boxes of red and black streamers, and we will go across campus and wrap the flag poles to get in the game day spirit,” Napp said. “Wrapping Will Rogers is about a four or five hour process. We usually go through four or five layers of streamers
around the Will Rogers statue … I’m sure almost anyone who’s gone to Texas Tech and who’s walked around the campus has seen it at some point.” Napp also said that television networks like ESPN or Fox Sports always seem to take a picture of the wrapped statue before game days. Friday, Oct. 1 begins with Rowdy Raider Rally at the Red Raider Plaza, Owens said. Tech’s cheer and mascot coach Bruce Bills said the top ten homecoming nominees will be voted on at the rally. On Friday evening at 6 p.m., the parade begins at the First Baptist Church, goes down Broadway around Memorial Circle, and finishes in the commuter west parking lot, Owens said. “Shortly after that, at seven p.m. at Urbanovsky Park, we will take part in the bonfire,” Napp said. “We have about 600 wood pallets, and we will stack all of those and organize them and create a bonfire.” Owens said the Saddle Tramps will do their torch ceremony at the bonfire before they light the fire. Meanwhile, the cheerleaders will be putting on a pep
rally at Urbanovsky during the bonfire, Bills said. Kickoff for the football game is at 6 p.m., but game day begins much earlier than that for student organizations, Napp said. “Saturday, we’re going to be doing a few things differently, because Saddle Tramps is currently celebrating 85 years of being around,” Napp said. “We were founded in 1936, and we’ve been going strong since then. We have brunch with a bunch of our alumni, and it’ll be a great time to reflect on memories, and to really celebrate 85 years of protecting the traditions, as well as continuing and creating new traditions.” Napp said the Saddle Tramps arrive at the field early to get their field passes. “We will line up and ring all of our bells to welcome the team into the stadium,” Napp said. “When kickoff happens, we cheer loud and proud for our Red Raiders.” Owens said the top five royalty candidates go onto the field during halftime of the football game and the homecoming king and queen are announced. Erin Alvarado, Tech’s Pom Squad coach, said homecoming events and traditions get students excited for the game and bring

Sexual assault cases spur campus protest Reported sexual assaults have sparked large protests on college campuses in at least seven states just weeks into the new school year, which advocates say reflects both a greater vulnerability among students who spent last school year learning remotely and a greater ability among young people to make themselves heard on the issue. Such protests aren’t new, but there seems to have been an unusually large number already this semester, with demonstrations over the past month at schools in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Alabama, Michigan, Massachusetts and Missouri. Protesters have accused their schools of doing too little to protect students and being too lenient with on the accused. Those pushing for tougher measures against
sexual violence also say the protests are being led by students familiar with the #MeToo movement and cases like that of former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar and Bill Cosby. And they say a protest on one campus inspires them on others. “It is this national push that we’re starting to see for accountability of colleges,” said Tracey Vitchers, executive director of It’s On Us, a nonprofit focused on building a movement to combat sexual violence on campuses. More than half of sexual assaults against students occur between the start of fall classes and the Thanksgiving break, and generally freshmen and transfer students are the most vulnerable to sexual assault because they aren’t familiar with the campuses and haven’t solidified their
social networks. Victims’ advocates call the period “the red zone.” “We’re in a period of a double red zone,” said Shiwali Patel, senior counsel for the National Women’s Law Center, who also directs its efforts to provide justice for assault survivors. “We have the first-year students and the second-year students who are now being on campus for the first time.” The wave of protests started after a student re-
ported being sexually assaulted at a University Nebraska-Lincoln fraternity house just before midnight on Aug. 24. Police received a separate report about a “wild party” there. The following night, about 1,000 protesters surrounded the fraternity house. Police are investigating the assault report and the university temporarily suspended the fraternity’s operations as it reviews the group’s conduct.

Evaluating assumptions to fight discrimantion I t is no secret that there are many students here at Texas Tech University. With a large student population also comes a diverse student population, which creates a need for mindful conversations. As it is an automatic given that 40,666 students insinuate 40,666 different stories, personalities and beliefs, students and staff alike should be mindful while having a conversation with a new individual. More specifically, individuals should be accommodating for every individual they speak with, as the National Center for Education Statistics reported that up to 20% of undergraduate students in America have some form of a disability. If an individual conveys that they are in need of accommodation during a conversation, whether it is a deaf student asking for repetition or a blind student asking for

verbal descriptions, the individual should not hesitate to accommodate the needs of the disabled individual. This especially applies to staff employed by Tech, such as hospitality workers, whose job involves constant interactions with a diverse population. Unfortunately, some tend to create a cookie-cutter-mold for individuals whom they interact with, which is sadly influenced by ableism and the inaccurate expectation of what a disabled individual should look like. When one does not fit that mold, such as those who are disabled, then the disabled individual faces insensitivity or even discrimination as
they are questioned and not taken seriously. Even though this mold is highly insensitive and incorrect, the majority of the population unconsciously makes assumptions based on the expectations that are set in place by the mold. This is a result of stereotypes that have developed over the course of thousands and thousands of years, influenced by multiple factors, including eugenics-based beliefs that have unfortunately become normalized within certain social issues. This ableist mold has done nothing to benefit any aspect of society; it only has created further division among communities and introduced skepticism for those individuals who clearly communicate that he or she is in need of accommodation. Many disabled individuals have heard something along the lines of not looking disabled or not acting
disabled, which results in the disabled individual not being taken seriously by whomever they are conversing with Unfortunately, when conversing with someone new, individuals tend to make assumptions and become skeptical when an individual who does not fit said mold. Sometimes, individuals laugh at the individual asking for accommodations, which results in nothing but shame on behalf of the disabled individual. Other times, disabled individuals encounter facial expressions, raised eyebrows or a sigh when communicating the need for accommodation. When one communicates, either verbally or through facial expressions that he or she is uninterested in providing extra support for a disabled individual, then the disabled individual feels isolated and mistreated, making it even more difficult to feel respected.
When the disabled individual feels ashamed, then he or she is less likely to ask for further accommodations and thus feels a general sense of unwelcomeness.
This ableist mold has done nothing to benefit any aspect society; it has only created a further division. This especially applies to new students who are navigating a new environment, which includes new individuals who do not understand their disability like those back home. When a student feels homesick or lonely, then ableist comments and conversations can significantly worsen these negative feelings. However, it is important
to note that this can become undone by treating every individual with kindness and accommodation when they ask for it, regardless if the individual looks like they need accommodation or not. Blatantly put, it is not one’s job to decide whether or not the other individual deserves to receive accommodation or extra support. Skepticism should never, under any circumstance have a role within a conversation in which one is communicating a genuine need for accommodations. All individuals should make an effort to rid their mind of any kind of insensitive and inaccurate mold that presents itself when conversing with someone new. It is important to remember to always give others the benefit of the doubt and treat others with kindness and respect. @FaithDolanD_T

Safety is important to remember on game days Football as a sport is in an entirely different breed of its own. Football is a special kind of sport that can make people extremely emotional. Whether the emotion be elated happiness from your favorite team winning their first game of the season. Or the complete opposite when your favorite team loses an important football game. No matter what happens during football season, it is easy to say that the sport brings out a wide array of feelings from the people that watch or attend the games. That being said, ever a

football team achieves victory against their rivals, the celebration of the success bleeds out from the stadium. When this spread of celebration pours into the community after the game, the following night can become somewhat wild to say the least. The passion from the game that seeps into the night life of a city like Lubbock can be fun, but sometimes dangerous. That is why it is important to remember to stay safe during game nights, especially when the home team is victorious.
It is no secret among residents among college students that the nights that precede a winning football game can be a visually wild scene. This is due to the liveliness of the people and their dedication to the sport. A common activity that people participate in during game nights is going to local bars downtown or near campus. It is a fun way to celebrate the joyous feeling you have with friends or family. Although, the fun can start to become out of hand depending on how disorderly the people get. This can be verbal confrontation between people or even physical confrontation. Taking game nights into consideration, it is the utmost importance for the student to be safe during their academic years in college. Being hurt or injured
during your time away from home can cause not only yourself stress and pain, but to the people who care about you as well. It could sound like a joke to some or some sort of cliche, but dangerous situations like these can happen, especially from the energy a football game gives you. Being aware of your surroundings on game nights is another important factor when celebrating after football games. People also like to drive very fast along the streets, zipping past you in a blink of an eye. Much of these fast cars drive along the front of the school where most of the entertainment and dining is located. Most cases students walk to these entertainment and dining locations, so making sure to be careful
of rapid vehicles is important during game nights. It is of course crucial to be alert and make an effort to act safe during any day, not just game nights.
It is important to remember to stay safe during game nights, especially when the home team is victorious. It is just these specific nights are ones where the atmosphere is elevated to a higher level, with people acting more on the wilder side of their usual personalities. Football games are very special when it comes to giving people the opportu-
nity to truly be themselves. They show off their passion for the team, and depending on the outcome of the game itself, become even more passionate into the night. However, safety should be the top priority as a student. You prevent yourself from physical or emotional harm, as well as preventing yourself from inflicting it towards others. Showing off your pride during game nights is a very important and fun activity because it shows how dedicated you are to the school you are attending. It also shows how enthusiastic you are for your desire in being a part of a community and fostering new relationships. @HMarginotDT

Tech game day fashion needs improvement As Texas Tech competed against the Texas Longhorns this past Saturday, I noticed quite a few differences in how game day culture is expressed within either school. One of these differences is the style and fashion that goes into game day outfits. This ranges from students to alumni to any attendees of these sporting events. Most notably is that collectively the student body of the University of Texas at Austin seems to put more effort into how they dressed and were presented all throughout game day. This is not to say the Tech students and football fans don’t put effort into game day outfits, simply that UT tends to take on a more “Sunday best” approach and Tech tends to go with a more casual approach to game day. But why are there such differences in game day fashion between Tech and UT? One of the reasons may be due to the differences in socioeconomic status of a

majority of the students attending each of these schools. There is a common trend of people normally of a higher socioeconomic status that tend to gravitate towards UT. A part of this can be seen especially when comparing Greek life at either school. In comparison to Tech UT’s cost of attendance for joining a sorority or fraternity is much higher. The average cost of attendance for Tech Greek life ranges from one thousand five hundred dollars to three thousand five hundred dollars while the average cost of attendance for UT can range from around ten thousand dollars to fifteen thousand dollars depending on the sorority or fraternity. This is partially due to the
fact that at UT students are allowed to live in their Greek houses whereas in Lubbock there are laws implemented that prevent students from actively living in these houses. Because more students at UT are apart of Greek life than those at Tech, and the cost of participating in these organizations are substantially higher at UT, presumably their population comes from a higher socioeconomic status and are able to put more money and effort into their game day fashion. In addition, there is more of a social pressure to consistently embellish and dress more extravagantly at UT whereas there is not this same social pressure to dress or present yourself a certain way at Tech. While there is a slight expectation to dress up a bit more on game day, I think that the standard to be met is much lower in comparison to that of UT. This is partially due to the fact that Austin is a very urban city in comparison to
Lubbock therefore there is an automatic difference in culture between these two cities that must be addressed. While Tech should not strive to become a carbon copy of UT culture it may be wise to institute the iconic country chic style we have in a new and unique way.
I think the standard to be met is much lower in comparison to that of UT. In this day and age perception is a very important characteristic in how stigmas and stereotypes are formed. Whether this is in regard to individuals or in this case how the university is perceived as a whole. Now of course, Tech is already seen as a reputable and incredibly respectable institution, however, there are some steps that can be taken
in order to go above and beyond and aid us in holding ourselves to the same or a higher standard as a student body and population that is equivalent to that of UT. I believe that it may be beneficial to try and dress up more on special events such as game day in order to continue to preserve the high esteem that we hold as a university. This would not only give us an advantage in how we are viewed by the community and by other schools, but this would show alumni and investors that Tech collectively wants to prioritize how our school is presented to the public. A way that we can do this is to try and accessorize outfits more and just go a step further. Although this is not a major issue here at Tech or necessarily an issue at all I believe that taking these steps would aid in going above and beyond and making Tech stand out. @StephanieGhanDT

Davis continues milestones during senior season By KAITLYN SALAZAR Sports Reporter
In her fifth and final season as a Red Raider, senior forward Kirsten Davis has made this year one for the books. On Sept. 23, Davis reached 100 career points during the Big 12 home opener against Oklahoma. In the same game, she completed the first hattrick of her career, scoring three goals in the first half for Tech. Davis was awarded Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for the second time in her career for her performances against Oklahoma and Kansas State, according to Big 12 Sports. During the match against

Kansas State, Davis scored and gave herself 10 goals for the season, according to Texas Tech Athletics. These goals led Davis to become third in the nation, trailing behind the nation’s leader by two. Head coach Tom Stone said he has seen Davis grow from her rookie season to now. “You know she’s so humble that we would have to announce [the milestone] for her to even acknowledge it,” he said. “She’s set the standard for us for the last five years, she truly has.” Last season, she led Tech with four goals and 22 shots on goal, according to Tech Athletics. She was also named on the MAC Hermann Trophy Preseason Watchlist at the start of the season.
During her junior season in 2019, Davis’ talents gave her a Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, according to Texas Tech Athletics. She led the team with 16 goals, 46 shots on goal and 1,883 minutes played. She was also named the program’s youngest First Team All-American in program history. After her performance against the Sooners, Davis said she enjoyed her time as a
Red Raider and was excited for what she and her team would accomplish. “Every year it’s been such a blessing being here,” she said. “I think every year I’ve learned new things to improve my game and learned how to be a part of a team that wants to be successful. I’ve just loved my time here and I’m so thankful I have the rest of this season.” @KaitSalazarDT

Adams finds success at Tech By JUSTIN APODACA Sports Reporter
The graduate transfer libero, KJ Adams, has embraced her role with the Texas Tech volleyball program during her first season. Adams won the WAC Libero of the year and was named to All-WAC second team in 2020-21, according to Tech Athletics. Adams went through the transfer process and said the move to Tech was an easy decision for her. “I have family in Midland, so it was kind of a coming home,” she said. “I was in Arizona for three years and I had an opportunity to be closer to family again and to have them come watch me play more often.” Adams has found success with the Tech as she has been named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on two different occasions this season, according to Big 12 Sports. Adams said she gives credit to her teammates for her suc-
cess and award. “It’s really cool, but I’m not satisfied with that. I want our team to be the best and the only reason I’m getting those accolades is because they’re doing great. So, if we aren’t winning and putting up a good block, I can’t do that anyways. It is all because of my teammates,” Adams said. Adams has made eight reception errors this season for a .962 reception percentage, according to Tech Athletics. Adams is the Big 12 leader in digs with 257, and is averaging 4.76 digs per set a conference lead, according to Big 12 Sports. Head coach Tony Graystone said Adams has provided stability on the court. “She has helped us stabilize our ball control, and I think our offense is having a really good year because of how well she is passing. Beyond that it’s just her personality and the way she interacts with her teammates,” Graystone said. Junior outside hitter Cait-
lin Dugan said Adams’ talent and personality on the court has helped the team. “She is very encouraging and gets over points quickly. It
