Petroleum engineering receives software tool IHS, a global information company, provided Texas Tech’s Department of Petroleum Engineering with industry tool software for geological, engineering and petrophysical analysis.

The students in the Whitacre College of Engineering at Tech can now use the tool, according to a Tech news release.

“Many engineering and production companies, especially independents, use IHS Petra to conduct their geological and engineering analysis,” Marshall Watson, chair of the Bob L. Herd Department of Petroleum Engineering, said, according to the release. “Having basic knowledge of this software will give our undergraduate students a real competitive advantage in job placement.”

The license for the program will allow up to 150 students to work on the software, according to the release, and will be used in the new Terry Fuller Petroleum Engineering Research building.

“Once implemented, our students will benefit from hands-on use of the software in their classes,” Watson said, according to the release. “Also, once data is assembled, it can be shared with other universities in an overall seniordesign-project exchange plan to help create a portfolio of design projects.” ➤➤news@dailytoreador.com

Teacher preparation becomes department After implementing the TechTeach program, the College of Education made teacher preparation a department within the College of Education.

The change was a part of the revamping of teacher preparation at Texas Tech, according to a Tech news release. The college was changing from traditional teacher preparation, to the new TechTeach program which puts the students into classrooms for a year and requires them to pass certification tests before teaching in the classroom.

Doug Hamman, chairman of the teacher preparation department, said, according to the release, this new department allows teacher preparation to be made a top priority.

“By having the department, that allows us to focus exclusively on teacher preparation,” he said, according to the release.

“When we were a program within a larger department it was more difficult because faculty often had responsibilities in both the undergraduate and graduate programs.

So members came and went, and it was difficult to have a sustained effort and focus on teacher education because people changed assignments on a semester basis.”

Tech is one of two universities with this program, according to the release. Arizona State is the other university with a program like Tech’s. ➤➤news@dailytoreador.com

Tech overcomes key injuries, snaps four-game losing streak

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

On Saturday afternoon at Jones AT&T Stadium, 54,071 fans faced the rain and witnessed Texas Tech football snap its fourgame losing streak in a 34-21 win over Kansas.

The Red Raiders are now 15-1 all time against the Jayhawks, and 53-29-3 in homecoming games.

Tech’s defense was able to hold Kansas to 363 total yards, the lowest they have limited an opponent to this season.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said the defense was the key in the win and their confidence is as high as it has been all year. “(Defense) had big stops and big key turnovers at times. (Kansas’) two touchdowns were both off our turnovers, which gave them great field position,” Kingsbury said. “Very proud of their effort and hopefully we can build off

of that.”

The Red Raider offense was able to build a 17-0 lead early in the game from touchdown catches by wide receivers Reginald Davis and Bradley Marquez.

With just over two minutes left in the first half, sophomore quarterback Davis Webb was intercepted by Kansas senior linebacker Ben Henney, and Kansas would capitalize and end the defense’s shutout, making it 17-7 at halftime.

Along with the interception, Henney recorded a Big 12 Conference-best 21 tackles in the game.

Webb gave credit to the linebacker and said he never even saw Henney on the picked-off pass.

“That’s one of the best players in the Big 12. All week we talked about how good he is and when you actually see him play, how smart he is,” Webb said. “There was a window there, but I didn’t

see him. Yeah, he made a good play. He’s a good player, so a lot of credit to him.”

With veteran wide receivers Jakeem Grant and Bradley Marquez struggling to stay on the field because of injuries, Tech would need young players to fill their roles in the second half to avoid blowing another second-half lead.

The Red Raiders extended their lead to

20-7 in third quarter and sophomore safety J.J. Gaines grabbed his second interception of the season on Kansas’ following drive.

Gaines was excited he made the play to get the interception, but said he should have hauled in two more interceptions. ➤➤For more of the Tech football recap visit dailytoreador.com

SGA booth gathers student feedback

environmental toxicology, Zenaida AguirreMuñoz, professor in the College of Education, and Tara Stevens, professor in the College of Education, are all part of the program.

“The program recruits content experts to teach in high-needs schools,” Dwyer said, according to the release. “This will especially help rural schools where there is high teacher turnover and where teachers often teach STEM subjects without having a degree in a STEM discipline.”

Not only does the program assist students who are studying to become a teacher, but it also supports poorer urban schools in the area, Dwyer said, according to the release.

Texas Tech police are investigating three incidents of indecent exposure that occured in the Tech library.

The most recent incident occurred Thursday at 11:20 p.m. in the Tech library.

The Tech police department responded to a call and sent multiple officers to search the perimeter of the library as well as look for the suspect inside, according to a TechAnnounce.

A female student was sitting in a study area on the second floor of the library when she saw a male through the window of the study area. She saw him intentionally exposing his genitals, and when discovered, he ran from the area, according to TechAnnounce.

At 5:06 p.m. Wednesday, the Tech police department responded to a call at the Tech library.

A female student was sitting in a study area on the first floor when she saw a male standing in between two stacks of books while exposing his genitals, according to the police report.

The student alerted the police, but they did not find the man.

A TechAnnounce was sent to students Thursday to make them aware of this and a previous incident.

The previous incident, which occurred Oct. 10, involved a female student who was sitting in a study area on the second floor stacks when a male knocked on her door.

When the student looked out the window, she allegedly saw a male standing outside intentionally exposing his genitals, according to the police report.

By the time police arrived on the scene, the male had left.

The suspect has been described as a dark-skinned male, approximately 6 feet tall, according to the report. He is of average build, with short hair and was described as wearing a red t-shirt and dark pants.

The Tech Police Department will continue to let students know if more information becomes available.

Texas Tech’s Student Government Association gathered student input regarding sexual assault on college campuses and SGA’s involvement with the “It’s On Us” campaign last week.

Students gave valuable feedback, and the major theme seen is that students want more education, Hayden Hatch, SGA president, said.

“It’s such a difficult issue to address and I don’t think students necessarily always feel comfortable talking about it,” he said.

“It’s On Us” is a pledge to help keep women and men safe from sexual assault and is a promise to not be a bystander to the issue, according to the national campaign’s official website.

Overall, the booth was successful, Hatch said. According to a previous article from The Daily Toreador, Hatch had the support of the SGA senators and cabinet members who volunteered alongside him.

Violent video games do not create aggressive behavior

nal to link heinous violent crimes committed by young people to video games.

“There’s so many other factors that go into it, like your personality, your history, any history of abuse, and mental illness, things of that nature. So many factors go into how you behave in terms of aggressive or violent behaviors,” he said. “Violent video games may be a predictor, but to say that violent video games are the cause of those things, and they’re the only reason why, is incorrect.”

Josh Vindi, a chemical engineering major from Houston, said he plays what some may define as violent video games and also plays with other online players. He feels playing violent video games does not make him feel particularly aggressive, he said, or angry.

While some may say mature video and computer games can act as a stress reliever, Vindi said in his

Staff Writer

More than half of American households play video and computer games, a subject that John Velez, professor of communication at Texas Tech, focuses his research on.

According to the Entertainment Software Rating Board’s website, an organization that rates video games based on their content and appropriateness for children, many parents worry that today’s video games are far too violent for children and can cause unnecessary violence and frustration in players.

Violent video games do not necessarily evoke violence in players, Velez said. Violent video games only cause players to become less polite, or more irritable, but only occasionally.

While there are some negative effects of playing violent video games, Velez said it seems irratio-

case, he only uses video games as a source of entertainment and stress release. He also enjoys the connections he makes while playing with other players around the world.

“I feel like the way they handle rated M games is already pretty good,” he said. “I mean you have to have an ID, you have to be 17 years old and actually show ID to buy a rated M game, and I feel like it’s really similar to the way they treated music in the 80’s. I feel like it’s just another thing to get worried about really.”

More boys than girls play video games, especially those that feature online game play and mature content, according to the website.

However, in terms of negative affects, Velez said girls are not affected differently than boys.

Both girls and boys feel the same effects, but generally, he said, males are more violent than females, regardless of video games usage.

Velez said he believes that in the future, as the gamer generation gets older, people will be more accepting of mature video games and more willing to discuss the issue.

“I think there will always be people out there who are trying to take advantage of the violent video game debate in that way,” Velez said, “but I do think as the younger

generation who grew up with video games gets older, that there will be a much more open dialogue and more acceptance of violent video games.” ➤➤ezambrycki@dailytoreador.com

Lubbock County currently has 289,324 residents, she said.

Early voting begins Oct. 20 and continues through Oct. 31., she said, and there are multiple locations in Lubbock where people can vote such as the United Supermarkets Arena and the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center, which are the most popular locations.

Texas has now established a record number of residents who have registered to vote for the Nov. 4 election.

According to a news release from the Texas Secretary of State, 14,025,441 Texas residents have registered to vote for the upcoming election in November. The last recorded number of registered voters was from 2012 with 13,646,226 registered residents.

military ID, passport or an identification for a concealed carry license.

Davis said a student ID would not be accepted if students were to vote on campus.

The ballot for Nov. 4 is long, she said, and those who are planning to vote are able to look online at the Lubbock County website in order to see what will be offered on the ballot.

“Everyone needs to take a look at the ballot so they know what to expect when they come in to vote,” Davis said. “It will help the people be guided through the voting process to make it as simple as possible.”

Barclay White, a member of the Student Government Association at Texas Tech, said this year, the

Lubbock County elections office sent its own staff to campus to register students.

“On Nov. 4, if students are registered in Lubbock County, they may vote at the library or the Rec Center,” White said. “For early voting, students may go to the Rec Center.”

A recent Supreme Court ruling mandated that students will need a valid Texas ztate-issued ID, White said, and if students are registered but need an ID, the Texas Department of Public Safety may issue an Election Identification Certificate.

“We are working to get the DPS on campus to issue ID’s to students without a valid ID,” he said.

Police hunt for clues near POLICE BLOTTER where Va. remains found Tech officers investigate students for illegal substances CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — After finding remains that could be University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, authorities interviewed nearby residents and picked through leaves on the side of a sparsely populated highway, searching for any clues or evidence.

Forensic tests were needed to confirm whether the remains match the 18-year-old Graham. They were discovered by a deputy Saturday in a heavily wooded area of Albemarle County that is home to horse farms about 12 miles from campus. Graham disappeared Sept. 13 after a

night out with friends.

Her parents were notified that the remains were found, Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said.

It wasn’t immediately clear Sunday how long it would take for them to be identified. Investigators also wouldn’t say if they had found anything else.

The last person seen with Graham, 32-year-old Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr., has been charged with abduction with intent to defile Graham. He is being held in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail. A preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 4.

Logan Dobbe, a senior biochemistry major from League City, said there needs to be more lighting on campus at night and more blue light emergency stations.

“It’s not something we should tolerate — any sort of sexual assault or harassment or discrimination. There’s just no place for it anymore,” he said.

“It’s such a simple message that really hits home,” he said. “I mean, if you’re a student and you go online and read that pledge and sign your name to it, you’re committing yourself to step in and intervene, not just this school year but for the rest of your life.”

From the student feedback gathered at the SGA booth last week and after discussing the scope of the issue with other student leaders at the roundtable discussion, Hatch said he

plans to compose an action plan and share it with students during SGA day this Thursday.

Students are unaware of the resources Tech provides for sexual assault, Hatch said, and SGA plans to put up a link on its website that will take a student to all the resources Tech provides.

“Don’t be a bystander. Have the courage to intervene when you see something like this happening. And it is on us, obviously, to do that. It’s our own responsibility,” Hatch said. “Not just student governments, not just student leaders, but everyone. And if everyone can have that mindset, you will begin to see a shift in the culture.”

Friends, family of Texas Ebola patient reach milestone FORT WORTH (AP) — As her boyfriend Thomas Eric Duncan lay dying of Ebola in a Dallas hospital bed, Louise Troh battled loneliness and fear that she too had contracted the disease while confined to a stranger’s home under armed guard.

Troh’s confinement was ending Sunday night, along with several friends, family and others who had contact with Duncan after he first became infectious. Ebola has a 21-day incubation period, and the people who interacted with Duncan after he first arrived in Dallas from Liberia will be in the clear.

It’s an important milestone in the nation’s efforts to contain the

outbreak and a cause for celebration for Troh. After three long weeks, she will be able to have a clean bill of health, leave the house and be done with twice-daily temperature readings by government health care workers. She likened the period to being a prisoner.

“I want to breathe, I want to really grieve, I want privacy with my family,” Troh told The Associated Press on Friday, lamenting that she was missing Duncan’s memorial service at his mother’s church in North Carolina because of the quarantine.

Troh says she and Duncan planned to get married later in the week.

Duncan arrived in Dallas from

Liberia in late September and went to the hospital complaining of headache and stomach pain. He was sent home with a prescription for antibiotics to treat a misdiagnosed sinus infection.

He returned two days later, was diagnosed with Ebola and died Oct. 8.

The day Duncan tested positive for Ebola, Troh, her 13-year-old son, Duncan’s nephew and a family friend were ordered by a Dallas court to stay inside the apartment among Duncan’s used linens and any lingering virus. The unusual confinement order was imposed after the family failed to comply with a request not to leave the apartment, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said. The four

were later taken to an undisclosed gated community.

Jenkins and Troh’s pastor George Mason delivered the news of Duncan’s death to her during the confinement period.

The other people who will have their quarantine period end at midnight include Youngor Jallah, Troh’s daughter, a nurse’s assistant who checked Duncan’s vital signs before calling for an ambulance.

For nearly three weeks, Jallah has not left the cramped, secondstory apartment she shares with her partner, Aaron Yah, their three children, ages 2, 4 and 6, and Yah’s 10-year-old son.

Pi Beta Phi reveals new house to public

By ABIGAIL HERNANDEZ Staff Writer

The Texas Gamma chapter of Pi Beta Phi sorority hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to commemorate the completion of their newly renovated chapter lodge at 12:30 p.m. Sunday in Greek Circle.

The ceremony mainly consisted of Tech Pi Beta Phi alumnae who helped fund the renovation project.

More than one million dollars was raised for the project, Pi Phi alumnae Muff Moore London and Tracie Brooks, cochairmen of the “From Roots to Wings” capital and building campaign, said.

The two had a large part to do with getting donors to help reach their financial goal.

“A lot of alums put a lot of their time and money into this,” Maddie Holman, a sophomore pre-nursing major from Weatherford, said. “Now we treat this house kind of like our baby.”

Morgan Kinloch, a senior accounting major from Houston and Texas Gamma chapter president, said Tech Pi Phi alumnae spend a lot of time traveling back and forth from Amarillo for this construction project.

Holman is the house manager of the Pi Phi lodge, she said.

Her duties include making sure the lodge is kept in order and stocked with everything the

chapter needs.

She said there was not much to do with the old lodge since it was so small.

Construction began in December of 2013, according to the Texas Gamma Pi Phi alumna Facebook page.

Most of the original house was knocked down, and an upstairs section was added to the new lodge, Kinoch said.

The fireplace was one of the only parts of the building left untouched, Kilnoch said.

Only the basement of the new house remains unfinished and is still under construction.

“With our pledge classes getting so much bigger, it was about time,” Kilnoch said. “It was just a good time to finally do it.”

The house now includes a much larger living room, kitchen, a new media room, a library and conference room.

The Texas Gamma chapter of Pi Phi currently has about 239 members, according to the chapter’s Facebook page.

The new house allows more space for the sisters, she said.

“We’re looking forward to a lot more sisterhood events,” Kilnoch said, “and spending more time together now that we actually have the space.”

Holman said that Pi Phi was one of the first houses on Greek Circle when it was built in 1972.

Its original constructor, Bill McMillan, was present at the

ceremony to showcases the lodge’s original key.

“Everyone’s going to go in and love all the colors and the decorations and all the details that girls typically love,” London said, “but the thing that I love is the safety features.”

The house includes an elevator and surveillance cameras, London said.

The updated lodge is fabulous, London said, and it is both energy efficient and safe.

With the added space, she said sisters can now host more study hours there.

“The biggest thing is study-

ing. They have meetings for the active body and the new members, bible study, and social events,” London said. “The house is just always used daily for something.”

Alcohol is prohibited in the house, she said, and safety is key for the sisters.

The ceremony also included speakers such as President of the Chapter House Corp. Mary Ann Ince, Tech System Chancellor Emeritus Kent Hance and current Tech System Chancellor Robert Duncan, who said he is a “Pi Phi dad.” ➤➤ahernandez@dailytoreador.com

Honors College professor to Tech study abroad program release book about travels unaffected by Ebola virus

By JENNIFER ROMERO

By KRISTEN BARTON

Kurt Caswell, an associate professor in the Honors College, was born in Fairbanks, Alaska, and has spent much of his life traveling to new places.

His new book, “Getting to Grey Owl: Journeys on Four Continents,” will be released in July, and Caswell described it as tying together various travel journals he has written.

“My parents were kind of on the move when I was growing up,” he said.

“We were always moving around, so I feel like that was the natural state for me.”

Caswell is the author of two books, according to his website.

His first book, “An Inside Passage,” won the 2008 River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Book Prize.

“It’s not that I’ve gone out on one journey and written a book,” he said.

“I’ve pulled together a series of tales about travels I’ve made over the past 18 years.”

The title of the book comes from one of the journals, Caswell said, which chronicled his journey to the former cabin of Grey Owl, a British conservationist who lived the life of a Native American.

Caswell said he hopes readers are called to travel and experience the world around them when reading his book.

“There can be some problems with encouraging everyone to go traveling,” he said. “There are 7.3 billion people on the planet, and everyone having the resources to jump on a plane all the time isn’t in the best interests of the planet. There’s a strange tension between encouraging people to travel and encouraging them to stay home.”

While there is nothing wrong with a person living in one place their entire life, Caswell said he has been described as having a wandering heart because of his love for travel.

Kayla Cox, a junior honors arts and letters major from Friendswood, said Caswell helped strengthen her writing skills tremendously while she was in his class.

“His class was engaging, and I loved the way he ordered the books we read,” she said. “At the end you were able to capture the big picture understanding, with each book being one phase or perspective.”

Nicole Lundberg, a sophomore public relations and honors arts and letters dual major from Albuquerque, New Mexico, also took a critical writing course taught by Caswell last semester.

“I really learned how to write in his

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has had countries across the world on pins and needles.

On Thursday, a possible Ebola patient in Lubbock was isolated in the University Medical Center, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador.

The hospital confirmed the patient did not have the disease, according to the article.

Elizabeth McDaniel, interim director of study abroad, said Tech is not worried about Ebola because students from Tech do not travel to any of the regions that are currently affected by the outbreak.

“Obviously we monitor safety and security standards, whether it’s Ebola or terrorism or an earthquake,” McDaniel said. “We look at state department advisory and the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the (World Health Organization) and cancel if need be.”

The CDC recommends educational and non-essential travel to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone be postponed or avoided, according to the CDC website.

If Ebola were to spread to countries engineering students travel to, she said, the college would suspend the program for a semester.

“That’s something we haven’t considered,” Wright said. “Most of our students are traveling to South America or Europe, and there aren’t any travel bans there.”

It will take a minimum of six months to control the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, according to the CDC website.

Jay Cox, a freshman psychology major from Happy, and Morgan Drisko, a freshman petroleum engineering major from Houston, said currently they are not worried about Ebola affecting their study abroad plans.

“I guess if it became a big pandemic it would change my decision,”

Cox said. “I’ll probably just go to a country that doesn’t have Ebola.”

Drisko said she plans to go to South Korea when she has to study abroad, even if Ebola does spread to other countries.

“I have to do it for my major, so I might as well risk it,” she said. “I probably should look at health risks in South Korea but I don’t. I have family that goes to South Korea so I know I want to go there.”

According to an Associated Press article, some lawmakers want U.S. President Barack Obama to ban travel to West Africa, but he disagrees.

If travel bans on airlines were to take place, McDaniel said, it still would not affect study abroad at Tech. McDaniel said the program is not worried about student’s mode of travel.

“Students in general buy their own tickets,” she said. “We don’t do group travel. It would be up to the students.”

Study abroad at Tech is not worried about Ebola at this time, McDaniel said, and will make adjustments as needed for the safety of students. ➤➤kbarton@dailytoreador.com

LETTER TO THE EDITOR College students make sacrifices for education Tech Greek life benefits Laura A Gonzalez

“

... there is the college student, who is not fighting through one battle, as many outside sources might mistakenly believe, but fighting numerous battles just to win the war.

therefore choosing to refrain from enrolling in a four-year university.

These ideas and statistics bring one to again ask that distressing question of whether attaining a college education is indeed truly worth it.

According to an article in The New York Times, “A new set of income statistics answer these questions quite clearly: Yes, college is worth it, and it’s not even close. For all the struggles that many young college graduates face, a four-year degree has probably never been more valuable.”

I myself can attest to many of the sacrifices made on a day-today basis, and the heartache felt when you can no longer identify with a loved one, a friend, due to a demanding academic lifestyle that pulls you away from having time to socialize or visit home frequently.

However, I believe it is vital to turn all of these negative ideals into strengths, and utilize them as fuel to push forward toward the acquisition of that long-sought college degree.

Allowing the negative to penetrate into one’s mind and heart will only drive one to turn away from the fight. Perseverance and the ability to cope with sacrifice are distinguishable and commendable qualities to possess while traversing lengthy distances in hopes of walking the stage someday.

Gonzalez is a junior public relations major from Amarillo.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Negative stereotypes paint inaccurate picture of Greek life organizations. On campus we have a Ronald McDonald House, and Alpha Delta Pi sorority has donated over $5 million helping to keep it running for those in Lubbock affected by childhood cancer. Only recently, Phi Kappa Psi fraternity held a give back night earning money for the Boys and Girls Club of Lubbock.

To say that sorority and fraternity life has only a negative influence on the Lubbock community is a myopic viewpoint that ignores all the positive impacts coming from the vast majority of Greek participants. Over 150 Greek affiliates recently spent their Saturday morning getting to know local breast cancer survivors and working alongside Susan G. Komen and the Race for the Cure.

Yes, there have been problems with some fraternity or sorority members. But just like not all NFL players beat their wives or assault children, fraternity and sorority life should not be painted with an unfair broad brush. What some Phi Delta Theta members recently did was humiliating and degrading toward women and I was horrified by their behavior, but does it does not reflect all fraternity men on Tech campus.

Now let’s talk about “sluts.” The pejorative use of terms for women by Tech students is clearly not limited to the Greek system. Fortunately, there is not a presumption that all Tech males are misogynistic Neanderthals. Attacking sorority women is attacking all women. One cannot intelligently argue, “I’m only using offensive terminology to describe

some groups of women,” (of which there are thousands within the category).

The use of such debasing terms for an entire gender is not only idiotic, it is humiliating not simply to those who hear it, but those at admissions who are embarrassed by the immature and backward thinking individuals accepted to what is commonly referred to as higher education. I refuse to pretend to laugh one more time when someone jokingly calls me a “sorostitute.”

Every woman at this university is unique, and is absolutely entitled to her own sexual experiences. Branding a whole 2,500 women with the label of “slut” is not only a fallacy but it is also crossing the line of offense.

Just because a woman is a member of an organization which is social does not therefore force her into becoming a sexual deviant. There are other social organizations on campus that have not been labeled as we have, and to be completely honest I don’t get it.

You will never find in the bylaws of any sorority a clause which states we must sleep around. And let’s just make this clear for the whole world — if any woman, Greek or not, wants to explore her sexuality then it is her choice. It’s not up for scrutiny by the entire campus. Stop calling women sluts.

You just sound ignorant.

Finally, let’s quickly end the question of “stupid.” As of spring 2013 the Texas Tech average GPA was a 2.800, whereas the Greek GPA

EDITORIAL BOARD

Over the past semester I am sure no one is shocked to find that the Texas Tech Greek chapters have been under quite a bit of scrutiny.

Horrendous mistakes have been highly publicized and criticized throughout not only our Lubbock community but on a statewide and nationwide scale. The recent response to these mistakes, it seems, is that all of Greek life is responsible and that nothing productive comes from Greek life. I’m here to share a different opinion. There is too much of a focus on individual misconduct while ignoring the constant good being produced thanks to Tech fraternities and sororities.

Greeklife.ttu.edu currently states there are 21 Tech fraternities and 11 sororities. Each fraternity and sorority has a designated philanthropy for which they volunteer copious amounts of time raising awareness and money. I know we hear ‘philanthropy’ and some people’s eyes roll at the idea of this large word and the ‘Greek-y’ vibe it produces. It all boils down to this — show me any other group of organized college students who dedicate their spare time to donating as much money or time to any organization in our community.

I understand there are specific service organizations at Tech, and I believe they’re wonderful, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they choose to name themselves with Greek letters as well. Alpha Phi Omega is a lovely example.

They work with The Bridge of Lubbock and a few other Lubbock-based

was a 3.029.

There are plenty of articles floating around that are labeling Greek life as evil or bad for Lubbock, but it’s time to include facts to shut this false rhetoric down. Gawker.com is not a credible news source and shouldn’t be trusted when they claim a sorority is under a false investigation. Check The Daily Toreador for the true facts on that if you’re curious. The Gawker article has a barely viewed retraction printed as well.

Also, it’s been mentioned that discipline and citizenship are two things this university stands for while intimating that Greek life does not. Discipline in the newly created Task Force on Greek Organization Culture is about to occur; it’s a wonderful new idea.

Greek life should be held accountable to the standards that our founders envisioned.

We’re making Lubbock a better place, and we’re trying to better ourselves as men and women in the process. I believe in my sorority’s creed and believe following it makes me a better person. As it states, “to have the welfare and harmony of the fraternity at heart, striving ever to make our lives a symphony of high ideals.” Greek life is an option. It is not for everyone, but we are all members of the Tech family, and when you attack Tech Greek life you attack Tech.

members, community Texas Tech Greek Life has been under a huge microscope lately, and it has not been for the best. What people tend to forget are the positive aspects and praises that are left out of the spotlight. There are many perks to joining Greek life and I’m about to explain why people need to stop thinking of Greek life as a guaranteed ticket to parties, sex, and “buying friends.”

When joining a sorority or fraternity, students make connections and friendships that will last forever, no matter where life takes them after graduation. For example, my mother was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha at Tech and she’s still very close with her sorority sisters from the 1980s. These bonds are unbreakable and they will last these individuals a lifetime.

Each sorority and fraternity has a certain philanthropy that they raise and donate money to. Not only are they helping others in need, they are helping their character and shaping themselves into kind, giving, selfless young adults, and not to mention the happiness it brings to both the members and the individuals being helped.

In 2010, Tri Delta chapters across the U.S. took on the challenge to raise $15 million in five years for St. Jude, and not only did they reach this goal, but they reached it in only three and a half years.

Tech Zeta Tau Alpha has partnered with the NFL and Susan G. Komen to raise funds for Breast Cancer Awareness and Education. Each year, Zeta holds the annual Crown Classic Golf Tournament in the fall and ZTA Survivor Challenge in the spring to raise money for the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation. ZTA Foundation has been a partner with the race as a national sponsor of the Survivor Program since the

“

first Race for the Cure. ZTA has raised $50,000 each biennium for the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation and Breast Cancer Awareness and Education.

Also, just having the support of hundreds of sisters/brothers away from home can make all the difference to a student.

Sometimes life gets rough and we students need a home away from home with a huge family to invite us in with open arms.

For myself, I love having over 200 sisters that I know would do anything in their capability to help with anything I needed.

Now to the assumption that Greek members are “stupid.”

According to the records from spring 2013, the overall Tech grade point average was 2.800 and the overall Greek life GPA was 3.029. Pi Beta Phi and Chi Omega were tied No. 1 out of the sororities with an overall GPA of 3.42.

Most sororities and fraternities require new members to m e e t a c e rtain amount of study hours each week. For active members, if their GPA drops below a certain mark, they will be required to meet certain study hours as well, depending on what their GPA is.

In my opinion, Greek life has helped tremendously with pushing me to complete my assignments on time. Through ZTA study hours, I have discovered girls who are enrolled in the same courses as I am. With that, I can make sure I understand everything correctly, and vice versa. I am able to compare notes and properly prepare for tests, as well.

There are many perks to the Greek life GPA requirements, and without these requirements I feel as though many girls, including myself, would allow their GPAs to slip.

What people tend to forget are the positive aspects and praises that are left out of the spotlight.

“

cantly contributes to a college student’s hardships.

According to a USA Today article, “Just 11 percent of U.S. college students report sleeping well, and four in 10 say they feel well-rested only two days of the average week.” Fatigue and exhaustion are highly discomforting sacrifices that college students adopt and face on a daily basis.

F a c i n g mounting workloads can stimulate feelings of anxiety and stress in addition to running low on sleep.

According to an article

by The State News, “Stress typically develops from a mixture of past experiences as well as genetics, and students who are predisposed to stress might not face issues with it until college.”

If sleep deprivation and

insurmountable loads of stress weren’t enough, homesickness is another condition students must face and overcome in order to be academically successful and graduate.

According to a CNN article, “Those who suffer from the condition feel some form of anxiety, sadness and nervousness, and most distinctly obsessive preoccupation with thoughts of home.”

Ironically, a student’s hardships and sacrifices are not free.

According to a New York Life article, “About twothirds of bache l o r ’s d e g r e e recipients borrow money to attend college, either from the government or private lenders. And the numbers are staggering.

Outstanding student debt stood at $1 trillion in the third quarter of 2013, and the share of loans delinquent 90 days or more rose to 11.8 percent, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.”

Student debt is frightful and intimidating enough to bar many who are not confident to invest in their education,

“

college degree, for many, can represent a multitude of feelings and events, but most commonly, sacrifice. We live in a society intermixed with people who carry different academic backgrounds.

Some individuals do not graduate from high school, and will never identify with that particular feeling of accomplishment. Others that do graduate are fast to join the work force or make that eternal promise of “I do.”

Then there is the college student, who is not fighting through one battle, as many outside sources might mistakenly believe, but fighting numerous battles just to win the war.

Outside pressures that a student faces can be devastating or strenuous enough to bring an individual to the ground, asking that taunting question of whether college is even worth it. Losing a friend or finding angry relatives when visiting home are consequences that arise from factors of disconnect and distance.

Such factors are destructive.

It is truly overwhelming and unfair that such matters would even constitute part of a student’s hardships. Unfortunately, these factors, along with other arrays of sacrifice, are embedded deep into a college degree, thus making this document representative of many powerful emotions aside from the foundational base of accomplishment.

Sleep deprivation signifi-

Deep receiving corps kick starts offense

By EVERETT CORDER SportS Editor

Tech sophomore quarterback Davis Webb completed 28 passes in the Red Raiders’ 34-21 win against Kansas on Saturday, completing passes to 10 different players in the victory.

Webb said whereas some teams have one standout receiver that is always catching the ball, Tech has four or five guys that step up every week and make plays.

“All those guys are great receivers.

Got to give them the ball,” he said.

“I’m not going to run it for 100 yards a game, but those guys can break 100 yards receiving in the game. So just give them the ball as quickly as possible and watch them work.”

Tech junior wide receiver Jakeem Grant said the offense has been more successful passing the ball this season because it also has a very effective group of running backs, led by junior DeAndre Washington.

After rushing for a career-high 132 yards last week against West Virginia, Washington increased his output again,

carrying the ball for 164 yards on 23 carries against the Jayhawks.

“His running ability has come a long way,” Grant said. “This is the DeAndre Washington I love to see and love to watch because DeAndre is an explosive guy and elusive. You never know when he’s going to break a big run.”

Even though he missed parts of the game due to an ankle injury, Grant led all Tech receivers with 72 yards in the game.

Grant, who was the Big 12 Conference leader in all-purpose yards coming into the game, said he rolled the ankle early in the game which kept him out for a few plays, and then a Kansas cornerback rolled over it again which really hurt him.

“I didn’t let that get to me,” he said.

“I knew my team needed me and I came back to fight with them.”

Tech senior wide receiver Bradley Marquez was also sidelined late in the game after sustaining an injury to his ribs.

Webb said he thought Marquez was going to be all right, and even after the injury Marquez was being a leader on the

sideline and getting the other receivers pumped up.

“That’s why he’s a captain, and I’m really proud of him as a best friend and roommate,” Webb said. “He’ll be OK though. He’s tough.”

One of the players Marquez focused on helping out on the sideline was freshman wide receiver Ian Sadler, who was Marquez’s main replacement after the injury.

Sadler had four catches in the game for 68 yards and also caught his first touchdown pass in a Red Raider uniform.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said if Marquez ends up seeing extended time out due to his rib injury, Sadler will have to continue to step up and make plays.

“Its exciting to see (Sadler) come on,” he said. “His first few weeks you could tell it was moving around pretty fast for him and (Cameron Batson).

Both of them, I think, have settled in a little bit. It always hurts when you lose somebody like (Marquez), but I was excited to see Ian step in and make that big touchdown catch and a few others.” ➤➤sports@dailytoreador.com

Tech volleyball grabs win over Cyclones

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff WritEr

For the first time since 2006, the Texas Tech volleyball squad defeated Iowa State when it took on the Cyclones at home Saturday in the United Supermarkets Arena.

Tech began the match by picking up the first set with a score of 25-19.

Once Tech snapped an 11-11 tie, the Red Raider squad did not lose the lead to Iowa State.

With Tech leading 22-18, the Cyclones committed two consecutive service errors and one ball-handling error, allowing the Red Raiders to close out the match.

In the second set of the match, the Cyclones recovered from the first set with a 25-20 win.

Tech lost an early 7-5 lead to Iowa State and struggled to retake the lead form the Cyclones for the rest of the match. Despite tying 14-14 and trailing by two points with a score of 21-19, the Cyclones secured the set win with a late 4-1 run.

Iowa State kept the momentum gained in the second set with a 25-16 third-set win. In a back and forth offensive contest, the Red Raider squad

grabbed the fourth set win, 30-28. The Red Raiders and Cyclones traded the lead a total of nine times and tied the score 17 times.

It took Tech three consecutive blocks with the score at 29-28 to finally steal the fourth set.

Tech coach Don Flora said the momentum of the match shifted over to the Tech squad after the long fourth set.

“The volleyball game is such a momentum game,” Flora said. “That was a huge way to get back in set four and set five.”

In the final set of the match, Tech rolled to a 9-4 lead over the Cyclones.

With a five point deficit, Iowa State forced an 8-1 run and swiped the lead from Tech.

Junior outside hitter Jenna Allen said Iowa State’s wins over Tech fueled the Tech squad.

“I know last year we were really close as well and it kind of hurt us so it was like revenge this year,” Allen said. “From the start I felt like we were ready and even when we came back after losing that first game we were just ready to go and start again.”

Leading 12-10, Iowa State just needed three more points to secure the win over the Red Raiders, but the Tech

offense sparked with a 5-0 run to down the Cyclones.

Allen had 17 kills and senior outside hitter Breeann David had 16 kills to lead the Tech offense.

Junior outside hitter Emily Wright said blocking kept the Tech squad in the match.

“At the end of the fourth game I believe we had eight blocks in a row,” she said. “I just felt that was such a huge game changer and really what we needed.”

MARRIED COUPLE SEEKING EGG DONOR!

We have been married for 4 1/2 years and we want to grow our family. We are both successful, college‑educated, professionals in our careers and have been through the IVF procedure one time using our own eggs that resulted in a devas‑ tating miscarriage. Our doctor says that our greatest chance to have our own baby is to re‑ ceive eggs from a donor. We are interested in a potential donor that is healthy, between the ages of 20‑26. Similar features to the mother recipient‑ preferred. Compensation includes medical bills paid: donation procedures/medications and per‑ sonal compensation of $3,500 for time and your willingness to help us realize our dream of hav‑ ing our own baby.

If you are interested in speaking with us about the details of being a potential donor for us please contact us at 432‑664‑6423 or 806‑252‑ 1200. Thank you so much and God bless you!
