Tri Delta philanthropy speaks to Fetner’s heart
By SAMANTHA GARCIA Staff Writer
Ellie Fetner was 11 when she was diagnosed with leukemia.
Now seven years recovered, her Tri Delta sorority donates to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital where she raises money for kids fighting the same battle she did.
“In May 2015, I got super sick. They thought I had the flu at first,” Fetner said. “The doctors ran a blood test, got the results back and decided to transfer me to Texas Children’s Hospital.”
The doctors ran a bone marrow test, she said, after which a team of doctors came into her room to tell her she had leukemia.
Following the diagnosis, Fetner began chemotherapy treatment to fight the cancer.
“My treatment was two-anda-half years long. The first eight months were the most intense,” Fetner said. “I finished in September 2017. The hardest part was going back to school after missing the whole sixth grade.”
Fetner is now a third-year human sciences major at Texas Tech and is studying to eventually become a nurse.
Fetner said she was inspired
after her treatment to help kids going through what she also endured.
“My nurse practitioner introduced me to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society,” the Houston native said. “They have a student of the year competition. I was the team leader, and we raised $80,000 in seven weeks.”
When Fetner started college, she decided Tri Delta would be the sorority for her after learning of their philanthropy.
“I am so glad I went to Tri Delta. The main reason I chose it was because of philanthropy,” Fetner said. “My junior year, I ran for director of philanthropy, and my goal this year is to raise $100,000 for St. Jude.”
Tri Delta hosted a pancake event on Sept. 16, and Fetner said with the support of her sorority sisters, she saw a great outcome.
“We just had our first event, the pancake event. We raised $20,000, which was really good,” Fetner said. “The girls are awesome. They respect and want to fundraise because they have heard my story. They have been so welcoming and supportive.”
In honor of Tri Delta raising money for St. Jude, the sorority was awarded a short-term housing

in Greek Circle Oct. 16, 2024. Fetner uses her experiences battling with
facility called Tri Delta Place.
“Tri Delta Place is amazing. The assistant director of philanthropy and I got to see it and see what we’ve been working towards,” Fetner said.
Tri Delta donates to St. Jude for the difference it has made for
families like Fetner’s, she said.
“St. Jude is fully funded by donations. The patients don’t have to pay for anything, and that's amazing because it can be difficult,” Fetner said. “It’s important to me because I went through cancer, and I survived. I really want to give back because I can talk about my story, and I feel that helps a lot of people.”
Brooks’ breathing technique recenters mentality, slows time
By TY KAPLAN SportS editor
Three, two, one is replaced by four, seven, three for super-senior running back Tahj Brooks on game day. What is a count down to most is a moment of meditation for the Manor native.
The exercise — breathe in for four seconds, hold for seven and breathe out for three — has assisted Brooks in leading the Big 12 in rushing yards per game and cracking into Tech’s top-three all-time rushers this season.
“(It) Made me stay more consistent,” Brooks said. “It made me be a big play threat, and it made me feel that when the ball gets in my hands,
given moment.” Weston Durham, Tech’s assistant athletics director for psychological health and performance, introduced the method to Brooks and the Red Raiders back in February during Wreck ‘Em Recovery.
Red Raider athletes participate in the recovery-based workshop once a week on their off day where they spend time with the sports medicine team and the sports psychology team to better their mind and body.
Durham, formerly with Oklahoma State University, the University of Oklahoma and Lehigh University in similar roles, said he helped create the 4-7-3 breathing method using a mixture of techniques he learned along the way.
“It oxygenates the blood, gets
Durham said. “It also regulates the nervous system, so then we can get more back into making decisions. It gets us out of fight, flight, freeze or fawn mode.”
Brooks used the 4-7-3 technique to assist in turning aN uncharacteristic second half into a career-defining moment against the University of Arizona on Oct. 5.
After fumbling the ball twice for the first time in his career, Brooks said he utilized what he’d learned to hone in his abilities and charge forward for the game-sealing touchdown.
“When I fumbled those two balls, I did it on the sideline, kind of to myself,” Brooks said. “... It kind of reminds me to stay in my place and be for myself a little bit. After that, just get with my team and get to that
‘What’s next?’”
Brooks said the breath pattern makes him feel as if he’s transported into NCAA 14’s Road to Glory mode where users could activate “bullet time” to manipulate game speed and allow for better cuts and more explosive plays.
“It's crazy, because if you played the old NCAA 14, I feel like that's how it is,” Brooks said. “I feel like everything in my brain slows down, even the game. Everybody could be going fast, but I could be going a different type of slow.”
Brooks is averaging 17.5 more rushing yards per game than he did in his previous campaign and is on pace to break the program single-season rushing yard record with two games to spare, according to Tech Athletics.
Tri Delta is taking donations at www.stjude.org until July and hosting events for St. Jude to reach its $100,000 goal.

Navigating Election
day ballot
By NOAH DAVILA Staff Writer
With just 19 days until Election Day, time is narrowing in for voters to make a decision on the next president of the United States, and the election’s office is encouraging educated decisions from up and down the ballot.
Personal social networks such as social media and friend groups account for 67 percent of information reaching young voters, according to the Tuft’s CIRCLE survey. With this in mind, it can be difficult to attain accurate information about each political party’s policies.
Therefore, Lubbock’s Election Office advises practicing media literacy in the coming dates before the election.
“This election, especially based on where you live, will have lost lasting impacts,” said Election Office administrator Roxzine Stinson. “It’s not just about the up-ballot or the down-ballot. Every vote counts. Last May, we had two elections determined by just a handful of votes. Folks don’t realize how much this matters.”
Sample ballots can be found at votelubbock.org, and sample ballots, for both the general and special elections, are shown on page two.
Not all choices shown on the sample ballots will be available on individual ballots in November as they are for reference purposes.
Federal positions are listed at the top of the ballot, and as one works their way down, they will end on election options for the county level.

This election will determine who is sent to the White House for the next four years to serve as commander in chief to the U.S. military, sign bills into law and propose legislation. Often referred to as the “leader of the free world,” the president is still only one part of the national government.
Voters also will cast ballots for Texas’ new junior
senator, a race between Sen. Ted Cruz, R - Texas, and Rep. Colin Allred, D - Texas. The winner will serve as one of Texas’ two Senate representatives. Cruz has securely held the seat since 2013, but new polling paints a closer race this year, with the Democrat Allred only four percent behind, according to an October poll conducted by the University of Houston.

District 83 and 84 of the Texas House of Representatives also are up for election. The winners will represent West Texas on the state level of governance.
The county- level elections are sheriff, county tax collector, commissioners and constables. Of the eight offices on the ballot, only the County Commissioner - Precinct 3 is a contested race as Cary Shaw, R - Texas, and Gilbert Flores, D - Texas, fight for the seat.
Texas’ 19th congressional district is also up for election between Rep. Jodie Arrington, R - Texas, Bernard Johnson, L - Texas, and Nathan Lewis, I - Texas. The race holds weight in the governance of Texas, as this representative will be directly responsible for representing the City of Lubbock and surrounding counties.

Policing policies consistent amid Halloween hazards
By GRACE HAWKINS Staff Writer
As Halloween approaches, local police said partygoers and parents should take precautions, warning that a combination of increased pedestrian traffic, costume hazards and alcohol can cause potential safety hazards.
Texas Tech Police De -
partment public information officer Caitlynn Jeffries said one of the most prominent safety tips is for individuals to stay on the sidewalk and pay attention to where they are walking and the cars around them.
“A lot of the times during Halloween, whether it’s young kids or adults, especially students on campus, they kind of just start
walking wherever,” Jeffries said. “Even though there are large groups of people, we still need to make sure that we’re obeying walking laws.”
In addition to concerns about pedestrian safety, Jeffries also highlighted the importance of making responsible decisions when it comes to alcohol consumption.
“On Halloween, everybody wants to go out and drink and have fun, and there are lots of parties that happen,” Jeffries said.
“Whether it’s public intoxication, or, if it involves drinking and driving, you don’t want to end up in an accident that you’re going to regret. So, make sure you’re paying attention and don’t get into the vehicle after you’ve been drinking.”
Despite the holiday, TTPD officers constantly patrol Tech’s campus.
increase in crime.
In The Daily Toreador’s police blotter from Oct. 31, 2023, three vehicle damages, a motor vehicle theft and possession of THC and alcohol by a minor were reported.
In the police blotter from Oct. 31, 2022, there was a reported assault, theft, a traffic incident, fictitious license, possession of THC by a minor and a stalking case.
Kasie Davis, Lubbock Police Department public information officer, also said the department, surprisingly, doesn’t see an increase in crime on Halloween.
(Crime is) going to happen every day of the week whether it’s Halloween, Valentine’s Day or Tuesday three months from now, so there’s not exactly a specific uptick that we see on Halloween.
“If we have reports of something large going on, we might ask additional officers to work, but we typically have the same amount (of officers). We patrol the same throughout the year, 24/7,” Jeffries said.
KASIE DAVIS LPD PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER
Another tip TTPD offers is to be aware of certain costumes, especially those that include weapons.
“Make sure you aren’t being inappropriate with any weapons on your costume,” Jeffries said. “Like, if they have fake guns or anything like that, don’t point them at people. Don’t act like you’re a threat to anyone because people might not receive that in a good way, and we might get a phone call.”
Although Halloween can bring safety hazards, Jeffries said the department doesn’t see much of an
“Here in Lubbock and across the United States, crime is crime,” Davis said. “And it’s going to happen every day of the week whether it’s Halloween, Valentine’s Day or Tuesday three months from now, so there’s not exactly a specific uptick that we see on Halloween.”
Davis encourages pedestrian and driver safety, as well as responsible drinking. She suggests wearing reflective gear on costumes and choosing a designated sober driver or taking an Uber.
“We just appreciate public cooperation and we want everyone to have a safe and happy Halloween,” Davis said.

Back line bond fosters defensive success
By ANDREW GOODRICH SportS reporter
Texas
Both fourth-year players, Macy Blackburn and Cassie Taylor have contributed to a defense that ranks second in the conference in goals allowed with nine in 15 games, according to the Big 12. The two defensive start-
ers joined the program in the same 2021 recruiting class and have established a relationship since. Blackburn said in addition to the camaraderie they built, the duo's undying support of each other has been foundational to their success.
“We know each other so well, and we always have each other's back,” Blackburn said. “I get beat, she gets beat. We’re always behind each other, even when mistakes are made, knowing it’s OK. We're going to grow from it, and we’re gonna get better.”
Although the duo has been together for four seasons, Blackburn was forced to watch from the sidelines with injuries. She has missed 24 of 42 games in the previous two seasons, according to Tech Athletics. Blackburn missed the start of the 2024 season but returned to play on Aug. 25 against Utah State
University.
Friends on and off the pitch, Taylor said having Blackburn back on the field, healthy, and in her personal life has been amazing.
“We’ve been building that relationship since we were freshmen,” Taylor said. “We do Bible study together. We get lunch together. We hangout. It’s really just a friendship that we’ve been building over these past four years.”
When both defenders are on the field, Taylor said she feels as if the two share one mind to cohesively move the ball up the pitch.
“I know where she’s going to be. She knows where I'm going to be,” Taylor said. “We have each other’s cover, and we talk the whole game — makes it really easy.”
Tom Stone, Tech's head coach, said the bond between Blackburn and Taylor has been a foundational
part of the Red Raiders' success this season.
“Their unity is found in their desire to compete and desire to win and desire to push the team,” Stone said. “Macy’s more verbal in that regard than Cassie, but
Cassie sets a great example for everyone. They’re just cut from the same cloth, and they get each other, and they’ve enjoyed a lot of back line minutes together.”
Correa dedicates four years to Tech volleyball
Supermarkets Arena Oct. 12, 2024.
By CORY WHITMAN SportS reporter
She stayed at Texas Tech all four years. She played in every game since her freshman year, and rounding out her senior year, she’s cracked into the top-10 career digs list with 1,143.
Maddie Correa, Tech volleyball senior libero, said it all boils down to one thing: dedication.
For Correa, it is the dedication to stay even after three years without a winning season and the transfer portal making it more accessible than ever to leave.
“I have faith and trust in my coaches,” Correa said. “I made a commitment to be at this school, and I knew that I wanted to stay with my commitment to it, and I just love Tech as a whole and as a school — the athletics department and everything about. There was no reason I needed to leave. I was happy with where I was at, and I knew I wanted to finish out my college career here.”
This sense of devotion was instilled in Correa since an early age. Her father and former coach, Larry Correa, said once she decided to go to Tech, she needed to stand firm in the choice.
“Nowadays, how these
kids transfer into things, we’ve kind of just talked and instilled that you got to work harder,” Larry Correa said, “and once you make your commitment, you know, you have to stick with it.”
Staying with the same program was only made easier for Correa through head coach Tony Graystone. She said playing under him for all four years has helped her grow not only as an athlete on
the court but as a person off of it.
“If I’m having a bad day or something like that, he’s always going to be there for me and help me out,” Correa said. “His door is always open if we ever need anything, and I feel like that’s really hard to come by when you have a college coach that’s open and willing to support you mentally and emotionally as well as your actual skill.”
As Graystone has seen Correa grow into a leader over the years, he said her passion and enthusiasm for the game fuels her teammates and pushes them to be the best version of themselves.
“That energy, and somebody that knows how to win, that wants to win; somebody that is vocal, and we can always follow her lead, and she backs it up,” Graystone said. “She’s become kind of the face of our team the last couple of years, and that’s what we need from her every day.”
Now rounding out her last year, Correa said she simply was focused on the game and didn’t even realize how close she was to entering program history.
“(Entering the top 10 for career digs is) just really surreal,” Correa said. “I never expected that. It was definitely a goal of mine to try and get in as close as I could. I don’t necessarily think about the numbers as much, so when they
told me that was a thing I was like ‘Wow, this is just crazy.’”
After college, Correa will return to her hometown of San Antonio to help coach club volleyball with her father.
“(I told her) ‘If you want to make a little extra paycheck, let’s do some club together, where we can work together,’” Larry Correa said. “‘You know my style. You’ve been taught and trained by me.’ So what better person to
help these other kids out than someone who’s been through what I’ve taught?”
With her senior year drawing closer to its end, she said she will remember the friends she made along the way more than any victory or loss.
“I feel like it’s about the relationships that I made and the legacy that I’m trying to leave here,” Correa said. “Obviously, it’s easy to think about wins and losses but ultimately at the end of the day, it’s
about the relationships you made with your team and your coaches because that’s what’s gonna last longer than wins and losses.”
Correa will be honored on Nov. 16 for senior night against Iowa State University, and her last game will be on Nov. 29 against the University of Arizona when the regular season comes to an end.

Tech CrossFit crosses fitness, community
By KAYLA STONE Staff Writer
Though based on an individual sport, the CrossFit Program at Texas Tech lifts not only weights but also each other’s spirits, building a family of athletes members say is unique to their organization.
CrossFit is a program that includes constantly varied functional fitness exercises performed at a high intensity, said Brittany Doak, strength and conditioning program manager for University Recreation. This form of activity pushes those involved to continuously grow the strength of their muscles and cardio systems.
CrossFit classes are offered Monday through Friday in both the mornings and evenings, with technique classes hosted at 10 a.m. on Saturdays, according to the URec website.
Those interested can register online or in person at the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center. Varying membership rates are offered.
“CrossFit is all about community. It’s a great way to get involved,” Doak said. “The people at the CrossFit classes are always each other’s biggest cheerleaders, and our coaches are there to kind of facilitate that.”
That community is born inside the gym, Doak said. Support from teammates while working out is a key reason for the organization’s tight-knit group.
“You have a group mentality, so when other people are there encouraging you and watching you,” Doak said, “you actually tend to perform better than if you were just working out alone.”
Johanna Valencia, associate director of fitness and wellness at URec, has worked at Tech since the start of the official CrossFit program 10 years ago. She said she has tried to recreate the community feel of CrossFit across other programs, but it won’t stick.
“I guess that’s just (CrossFit’s) reputation, their brand,” Valencia said. “They are a very close-knit group.”
CrossFit L1 certified
coach Evelyn Povar said respect is an important piece of the program, with students participating as both coaches and class attendees.
“Most of the CrossFit coaches here are kinesiology majors, and we are making
this our career, what we’re doing now,” said Povar, a third-year kinesiology major from the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. “And so (students) seem to really appreciate that this is what we’re doing, and this is what
we’re dedicated to.”
Povar said the CrossFit program allows for modifications to its workouts. She said this is due to wanting to meet students where they are when they come to class.
“I would just like to give
my one piece of advice to people who are thinking about CrossFit, maybe unsure about it: Just come try it,” Povar said. “I promise it is not as scary as it looks.”
Renewed French Club welcomes all students
By BROOKE SWAFFIELD Staff Writer
Parlez vous francais?
After a year of inactivity due to a lack of interest in learning the language, the Texas Tech French Club again welcomes students, faculty, staff and interested community members, no matter their proficiency, to learn and improve their French language skills alongside fellow members.
The club meets from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. every Wednesday in the Classic and Modern Languages and Literatures building for interactive games and lessons aimed at improving members’ French language skills.
Although the French language is not common in Lubbock, Esmael Behestizadeh, president of the Tech French Club, said he stepped in as president because of his
passion for the language.
Roughly 3.6 percent of the world’s population speaks French, a number that is lower than most other languages around the world.
“French in Texas, and in Lubbock specifically, is a foreign language, not a second language,” Behestizadeh said. “Maybe they (the students) love French, or maybe they are taking a foreign language, but the first step is to make them interested.”
During the group’s weekly meetings, students of various majors, backgrounds and proficiencies practice their French skills through presentations, talks, debates, movies and rounds of Jeu De Mime, the French ver-
sion of charades.
Members said the club offers a fun and friendly, yet competitive, atmosphere that encourages students to practice learning French.
Maybe they (the students) love French, or maybe they are taking a foreign language, but the first step is to make them interested.
“Not everyone is at a high level of French, and they welcome that. I love how welcoming it is,” said McKenzie Wyatt, a junior biology major from Waco. Wyatt has been a member of the French Club since August.

French,” Behestizadeh said. “We want to keep the French interest alive, because, unfortunately, some language programs have been shut down.”
Behestizadeh said the club still is welcoming new members and slowly is growing back to the membership numbers it once boasted.
Prospective members can join the club’s weekly meetings, and no study materials or member costs are required to participate.
