or its second straight victory, the Texas Tech football team routed the Kansas University Jayhawks, 48-16, on Saturday, Oct. 20, putting the squad in a tie for second place in the Big 12 conference.

Tech’s victory pushes the team’s record to 5-2 on the year and 3-1 in Big 12 play. Furthermore, the win moves Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury’s overall record to 35-35, placing the former Red Raider only one win away from entering the

winning coach category. Kingsbury’s offensive knowledge in conjunction with a well-rounded coaching staff has primed the coach for success in the 2018 season.

True freshman quarterback Alan Bowman has been a catalyst for the Tech offense, and his impact was immediately felt upon his return to the field.

Bowman was forced to exit Tech’s game against West Virginia on Saturday, Sept. 29, due to a partially collapsed lung he sustained after getting sandwiched between two WVU defenders.

Kingsbury provided insight on the true

freshman’s highly anticipated return.

“We felt confident that, I don’t know, a few days after he got out of the hospital that he’d be ready for this date,” Kingsbury said. “We just wanted to make sure he held up, felt good, breathing was fine.”

Just 17 days after being released to the hospital for his injury, Bowman led the Tech offense onto the turf for his fifth collegiate start and didn’t miss a beat. Despite having to regain his comfortability taking reads and making in game decisions, the true freshman settled back into his position with ease.

“You could tell early he was a little bit funky, going through reads, missing some stuff he normally doesn’t,” Kingsbury said of Bowman’s return.

Junior wide receiver Antoine Wesley, a frequent target of Bowman’s, gave his take on the quarterback’s returning performance. Wesley totaled 155 yards and a touchdown on nine receptions against Kansas. “[Bowman] looked like he never had an injury, to be honest. He did a good job today,” Wesley said.

2018 Tech Homecoming Royalty crowned

Midterms to bring altering outcomes

Of the approximately 30,000 students who attend Texas Tech, only two of the best and brightest are bestowed the title Homecoming King and Queen each year. During Saturday’s football game, after an extensive nomination process, David Rivero and Abigail Raef joined this special group as they were crowned Homecoming King and Queen in front of thousands of cheering fans.

The road to becoming the Homecoming King or Queen is a long one, Dawn Warren, a senior microbiology major from Strasburg, Colorado, said. Warren works with the Student Activities Board to organize the royalty process.

Organizations must fill out an application and have elected their nominees by September, she said.

This year, they had 40 nominees representing different organizations after the initial application phase.

“The organizations would have around only two weeks to get (the application) together and figure out who their candidate would be,” Warren said.

Raef, this year’s Homecoming

As early voting opens, talk about midterm elections continues. With a highly competitive field across the nation, both Texas and the rest of the U.S. will look forward to the outcomes.

“The midterm election this year is interesting not in the sense of the

high-profile elections like for senator or governor, but the ones further down on the ballot,” Joel Sievert, a Texas Tech assistant professor of political science, said. “The Democrats are likely to pick up House seats. The state legislature elections will trend to be more competitive in the long term.”

TrUE offers learning experiences

By ADÁN RUBIO Staff Writer

The normal college experience may consist of long lectures and study sessions. However, for Texas Tech students, the Center for Transformative Undergraduate Experiences works to support achievements outside the classroom.

TrUE, which was originally known as the Center for Active Learning and Undergraduate Engagement, is dedicated to providing undergraduate students resources to get the most out of their education.

Whether it be providing funding and assistance for research or offering the chance to support communities through Raider Service Breaks, TrUE offers college students experiences not usually obtained in a classroom.

Erin Justyna, director of TrUE, said the department works to provide unique learning experiences to students.

“Our mission is basically to support students, so that all students will have the opportunity to experience some sort of transformational learning experience,” Justyna said.

Internships, study abroad, service learning and research are opportunities Justyna said students should take advantage of to amplify their experiences and learn how to apply skills.

Assisting students with research goals and providing service learning opportunities are two benefits TrUE works to implement within an undergraduate student’s

education, she said.

With TrUE’s services, she said students can conduct personal research projects or take advantage of service breaks to travel and deal with issues outside of Lubbock, such as managing transportation conflicts at the Grand Canyon National Park or helping to end deforestation in Peru.

Regardless if a student has not considered service learning or research, Justyna said students should utilize TrUE’s resources to get the most out of college.

“Students who participate in these kinds of things typically have a larger sense of community and identity,” Justyna said regarding the need for students to utilize and be aware of Tech resources. “Our goal in the first year is to just get a handle on exactly what all is happening all over campus.”

TrUE’s website, is a resource with information for students interested in a certain learning opportunity, Justyna said. After registering with the center, she said students can receive emails, which include information about TrUE events and opportunities that relate to a student’s educational and career interests.

Remaining informed about opportunities on campus is just one way to know the costs of TrUE resources.

Having to completely pay for service break trips and research supplies is an issue Justyna said a student does not have to bear. Whether it be

offering up to $1,000 in funding for student and faculty research projects or paying close to 40 to 50 percent of service break expenses, she said the TrUE center funds the endeavors of undergraduate students.

“One of our goals, going forward, is to focus on making sure that these types of activities are available to all students, regardless of income level or background,” she said.

“We’re working with some internal funding, but we’re also seeking external funding from some granting agencies.”

Despite the financial assistance TrUE provides, the skills learned are another aspect that help benefit a student’s education and future.

Regarding research projects, Justyna said becoming an effective communicator is a result of engaging in undergraduate research.

“If you can communicate that research to anyone, then you can get more support,” Justyna said.

Research is a part of one’s college education that can allow for a student to utilize their skills and explore different avenues.

With TrUE’s Undergraduate Research Conference, students can present their research projects in the form of oral and poster presentations to other students.

Jerlyme Robins, undergraduate research administrator at TrUE, said the conference helps students engage in research.

“The conference is a great way for them to go and see what other students, who are

currently conducting research, are doing,” he said. “One of the unique things about Tech is that undergraduates get more heavily involved in research than in other universities.”

The 11th annual conference, which will take place April 2-3, is an event Robins said to allow students to sharpen their presentation skills.

“This gives them that first taste of presenting at a conference,” Robins said. “For the overall format of the conference, we have two poster sessions, one on each day of the conference, and then we have two oral presentation sessions.”

With the competitiveness of certain job fields, such as the medical field, Robins said engaging in any form of research can help a potential employee stand out from others.

“If you’re not doing it, you’re not even on par with other students,” he said regarding a student’s need for research in a competitive job market. “It’s vital that you do research.”

Whether it be engagement in research or helping a local or foreign community, TrUE offers opportunities and improves the college learning experience at Tech. Due to the variety of programs, any student can benefit from the support offered at TrUE. Cynthia Perez, senior psychology major from Amherst, said she started utilizing TrUE’s resources during her early years at Tech.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 After the initial 40 candidates applied, they were announced Monday, Oct. 15 at the Homecoming Week kickoff event, Warren said. From there, the 40 candidates were narrowed down to a pool of 10 potential kings and queens.

“The week before homecoming every year, we have a panel that has seven judges and they all get together and the judges go through the resumes based off a bunch of different things,” Warren said. “At the end of that, the judges scores get totaled and the top 10 kings and top 10 queens are chosen from resume screenings.”

The top 10 candidates are announced at Student Organization Sing, she said.

Hearing the list of names get smaller at each step can be nerve wracking, Raef said.

“You’re standing up there

was when I got accepted to go to a research conference.”

Whether it be assisting Habitat for Humanity in Laredo or presenting computer science research, Perez said she took part in a variety of TrUE programs. With the need for research or travel funding, she said TrUE works to provide students with assistance.

“Once you start going to college, that’s when you experience financial struggles,” Perez said. “They really do help undergrads at that point.”

For students wanting to

interact with the TrUE center, Perez said it is best to visit the department, which is located in Room 239 of Drane Hall, to start a conversation about what learning opportunities to consider.

“The main step is to go in and have a meeting with the people who work there at TrUE. If anyone’s scared or unsure about using their resources, just give it a try.

You’ll never know until you see how much of a difference it really makes,” Perez said.

with all of these equally incredible people and they’re calling names one by one by one, and it’s not your name so you get this weird feeling in your stomach, but when they finally call your name it’s really exciting,” she said.

In the next stage of the nomination, candidates go through an interview with a panel of judges on the Thursday of homecoming week, Warren said.

After the Homecoming Court is announced, nominees had until midnight on Friday, Oct. 19 of Homecoming Week to get their votes in, she said.

Going into the game, Rivero said he was just grateful to be on the field and to have gotten that far in the nomination process.

The moment on the field where he realized he had actually been nominated is difficult to remember because it was so overwhelming, he said.

“There was just so much going on. Just looking out into the stadium and seeing

thousands of people is a little nerve wracking, but at the same time it’s so cool and for me, I was just really trying to live in the moment,” he said.

Raef said one day later she can still hardly believe it.

“I didn’t expect to win and the moment they said, Alpha, that really was when I kind of knew it,” she said. “Beyond that all I remember is a bunch of photographers and a bunch of people coming up to me and hugging me and the president crowning me.”

The way it felt to hear her name called out along with Alpha Chi Omega in front of all the people in the stands is indescribable, she said.

“It was just incredible, and I don’t think there’s anything in my college experience that has compared to that so far,” she said.

Rivero said he remembers coming to Tech as a boy and seeing the Homecoming King and to be one is now an honor.

“I remember with my parents to come see the parade, or coming to the pep rally or whatever it may be, and actually being able to be a part of that and be recognized within that has been a really great experience,” he said.

Being a part of Homecoming week has been a blessing, Rivero said.

“I’ve gotten to meet so many different people throughout the week, participate in so many wonderful Tech traditions, it’s just been a blessing,” he said.

Raef said the nomination process, while arduous, is an amazing experience.

“Just really enjoy the process because even getting the nomination is special and throughout the week, you get to meet so many people and make friends and it’s just really special and unique, and I don’t think there’s anything that compares to it,” Raef said.

Recognizing individuals like Raef and Rivero, as well as all the candidates, is important, Warren said.

“I think it really just gives a good spotlight onto people who are doing extra special things for our community, both for Tech and the Lubbock community,” she said. “I think all of our candidates, all 40, but especially the top 10 and then the top five, I think they exemplify the qualities that the ideal Tech student has.”

The nomination process is bigger than just the people who win, Rivero said. It is a time for everyone at Tech to celebrate.

“Being crowned Homecoming King for 2018 I think is bigger than me,” he said. “I think it’s a tradition that brings recognition to the university itself. It incorporates alumni, the community.

It’s a time for all of us to come together as Red Raiders.”

Social media impacts midterms elections

By EMMA SIPPLE Staff Writer

Social media’s presence in the world has impacted the political process and how citizens and politicians interact online. With the changes, the rise of fake news has caused social media and politics to cross.

“The effects of social media can be seen in the two big platforms, Facebook and Twitter which had a rise of fake news on both.

They have different user bases, Facebook having a broader base, many users who are older, more less educated people and it is more family oriented. Twitter has more journalists, it suits the news junkie, and has more of a political focus. Both downplay bad information so much so that an estimate of over 100 million people saw some form of fake news,” Erik Bucy, a professor of strategic communications, said.

Fake news impacted the campaigns and the election including speculations about how the Russians interfered by using fake news, Seth McKee, associate professor of political science, said.

“In my personal opinion

ELECTIONS

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Seth McKee, a Tech associate professor of political science, said he believes the House will go to the Democrats.

“This election will have a huge impact because, unless an asteroid crash somewhere, the lower chamber of the house will go to the Democrats,” McKee said. “This will impact the Republican Congress agenda. I believe they can hold onto the Senate but they have no chance for the House because of all the Democrats and Indepen-

I don’t think the Russians had a clue to meddle with our elections using social media. I believe the effects of social media are marginal. Voters will seek out social media to reinforce what they believe. It is more about energy and enthusiasm. It gets people to look at political sites. Social media is used for mobilization not the causing action,” McKee said.

Social media can be used for grassroots campaigns to raise money and awareness.

“In Texas, in the case of Beto O’Rourke and Ted Cruz, Beto has had a long running grassroots campaign,” Bucy said. “Social media worked in step with the campaign after the first debate with the posting of excerpts and video.

It also works like a negative TV advertisement and can make your opponent seem less electable. It’s another platform for TV and it can send out the results from the debates and include video.

Social media allows for direct communication between the candidates and voters.”

Along with the direct communication, politicians use social media to further their campaigns and policies.

“Social media allows for politicians to create and

disseminate their portrayal of America, how their policies and the election. They create alternative accounts of the other side playing up the good versus evil narrative and how their policy affects this narrative,” Bryan McLaughlin, assistant professor of advertising, said.

“They can reinforce and reestablish views on American politics. Citizens get portrayals with inaccuracies.

Fake news gets passed along because it feels correct and it fits within narratives rather than a consideration of facts.”

Fitting everything into a narrative contributes to how people elect the people they follow on social media.

“It also is a huge issue of people selecting friends on Facebook and Twitter and creating an echo chamber with people who share the same views. You reinforce your position and you lose patience to talk when you don’t agree. This creates polarization where you intensify your opinion and the gap between right and wrong grows and your beliefs go from vague to strong and durable,” Bucy said.

This echo chamber impacts how people view their side as they see their side as completely right and the

other side as wrong.

“Politics are being portrayed as good versus evil and that the consequences are grave and pressing.

The way people talk about the other side is disparaging and hostile and it is heightened by social media. People become more comfortable with extreme views and are openly hostile when their views don’t match,” McLaughlin said.

“There used to be a general norm of civility and there was incessantly, but with social media, incivility has bled into the open public.

An echo chamber has been created. People refuse to listen to the other side no matter what they say.”

Solutions for both the fake news outbreak and the polarization will require work on social media platforms and the individual citizens. For fake news, Bucy suggests breaking up the big tech forms who control the social media platforms.

“We need to treat big social media platforms as media organizations and separate the political side from the social side,” Bucy said. “That’s the only way we can control the Wild West of the internet. It’s all up to the companies not the

media organizations.”

Fixing the problem of polarization on social media will be a larger task.

“People could recognize that both sides are arguing their side is right and good and they believe the other

side is motivated by evil,” McLaughlin said. “Social media to be an opportunity to see things from the other’s perspective. We have to recognize the humanity on both sides.”

dents. The victory will get them galvanized into looking towards the White House.”

If there is a shift in the House to the Democrats, there will be an impact felt by the Republicans and in the 2020 presidential election, Kevin Banda, a Tech assistant professor of political science, said.

“I think a Republican will run against Trump. I think either John Kasich or Nikki Haley will run against him.

It is very rare for a president to have a real challenger in the re-election. Usually, the party locks step with the sitting president and it’s not true

for Trump. Lots of the party doesn’t like him,” Banda said.

An increase of Democrats in the House may increase talks of impeaching the president.

“That may harm re-election hopes as they will be looking into any corruption.

It will increase the negative information floating around Trump, but there was already negative information around so it may lead to an information overload,” Banda said. “There will not be too many consequences from the midterm. The one would be the chance of Trump being impeached goes from zero percent to a higher percent

which is lower than 50 percent for sure. They still will not have enough votes in the Senate to impeach him.”

Overall the impact of the election will be the encouragement for Democrats to run in 2020.

“This can be a blessing and a curse. The downside as we saw in the 2012 election, having a large field means you spend a lot of time and resources in the primary and less in the general election,” Sievert said. “The upside if they are optimistic, there will be more options for people running against the president if he decides to run again in 2020.”

McKee recognizes the enthusiasm in the Democratic party around the campaign of Beto O’Rourke, but he said he believes Cruz will still win.

“The Democratic party hasn’t won in 20 years. I expect Cruz will win. The Democrats have a terrible turnout, but I believe they will see it as a moral victory especially about where O’Rourke stands in single issue,” McKee said.

“Last election, Greg Abbott beat Wendy Davis by 40 plus points. I believe it will enthuse Democrats even though O’Rourke will lose.”

The biggest change for the midterms both in Texas and the

United States will most likely be the competition of candidates for the next election.

“I lived in Georgia for four years while I was getting my Ph.D. and Georgia became more competitive in terms of candidates. There was close and almost tied gubernatorial elections,” Sievert said. “In the long term this can help better candidates who will change the dynamics. Beto will lose, but his performance will be better than Democrats in the past. He will open the door for more competition. It is not the question of if but question of when.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Turkey to reveal details of probe into Khashoggi’s killing ISTANBUL (AP) — In a sign of growing pressure on Saudi Arabia, Turkey said it will announce details of its investigation into the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi on Tuesday and U.S. congressional leaders said the Gulf kingdom — in particular its crown prince — should face severe consequences for the death of the writer in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

The announcement on

Sunday by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that he will “go into detail” about the Khashoggi case in a speech in parliament heightened hopes for some clarity in a case that has been shrouded in mystery, conflicting accounts and shocking allegations since Khashoggi, a critic of Prince Mohammed bin Salman, disappeared after entering the consulate on Oct. 2.

Erdogan spoke after

Saudi Arabia, in a statement early Saturday, finally acknowledged that 59-year-old Khashoggi had died in the consulate, though its explanation that he was killed in a “fistfight” was met with international skepticism and allegations of a cover-up designed to absolve Prince Mohammed of direct responsibility.

Saudi Arabia said 18 Saudis were arrested and that several top intelligence of-

ficials were fired.

Pro-government media in Turkey have reported a different narrative, saying a Saudi hit squad of 15 people traveled to Turkey to kill the columnist for The Washington Post before leaving the country hours later in private jets.

“Why did these 15 people come here? Why were 18 people arrested? All of this needs to be explained in all its details,” Erdogan said.

Big Five Personality Traits presents political implications

I

started the journey toward a degree in psychology back in 2016 which means I started my degree during the presidential primaries for the 2016 election.

Because of this, politics has always been interwoven with my education in a way that made me more interested in both topics. This melding of my two interests led me to think about politics from a psychological standpoint and has influenced a lot of my opinions on politics.

The Big Five personality model is widely considered the best personality model we have. This is not only because of its perceived accuracy and validity, but also because the Big Five model was not theorized by an individual tainted with bias. The Big

Drew Welty is a senior psychology major from Dallas.

Five personality model was derived purely through the use of statistics.

What I mean by this is that psychological tests were given to subjects and, when analyzing the results of those tests, the psychologists performing the tests ran what is called a factor analysis. A factor analysis is essentially a test that determines how many questions you are asking by observing how the responders’ answers clump together.

What happens when you run a factor analysis on a personality test is you find that there are five factors, or questions, that are being observed.

Those were given names based on the questions, and now we have the Big Five personality model. Those Big Five traits are openness to new experiences, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.

Openness is associated with creativity and a want to explore new experiences and ideas.

This means that people high in openness want to experience many new things and are constantly wanting to engage with new concepts or ideas.

Conscientiousness is associated with how orderly someone is, as well as how industrious they are. Roughly, that means conscientious people are organized and are driven to work toward a goal.

These people are dependable and hardworking.

Extraversion has to do with where a person is energized versus exhausted, as well as how outgoing or confident they seem to be. There is a common misconception that extroverts like people and introverts don’t like people. This isn’t true.

Being an extrovert means you are energized by being around people, while introverts are exhausted after being at a party for a while. Introverts need alone time to recharge.

Agreeableness is a caring dimension, and also a somewhat controversial personality trait given what its implications are. This dimension is essentially to what degree a person puts others needs or considerations ahead of their own. On its face, this seems like a good thing, and it is in many cases because it makes agreeable people very compassionate.

The problem is agreeable people tend not to fight on their own behalf or speak up if they feel mistreated or want a raise. This trait is key to raising young children, and that is

probably why women evolved to be generally higher in this particular trait on average.

Neuroticism is an emotional instability dimension as well as a sensitivity to negative emotion. People high in neuroticism are very sensitive to events in their lives as well as being highly attentive toward threat or danger. This means despite the negative things associated with this dimension, there is the benefit of being attuned toward danger.

Once again women are, on average, higher in this dimension likely due to their evolutionary history, and this would explain why women attempt suicide more frequently and deal with anxiety much more frequently than men.

Now that you understand what the Big Five are, I can move onto how this is relevant to politics. There are some personality types that are associated with different ways of political thinking, and I thought it would be interesting to share those so that people can better understand themselves and those they disagree with. There are many Big Five personality tests you can take for free online to find out your personality distribution.

The data I am going to be referring to here is from a study called “Personality and Political Attitudes,” which I

will cite at the end of the column. This study is not the only study that has found results like this. In fact, the findings in this study are pretty well known, but I wanted to refer to a study that was replicating previous findings.

The study found, like many others, that conscientiousness is associated with holding conservative political beliefs. This was found to be true for both economic and social conservative policies. This means more orderly or driven people are typically driven towards conservatism than people lower on this trait.

Openness to new experiences was found to be associated with both liberal, social and economic political thinking. This is what previous studies had found as well. This means people who are more creative and open minded to new ideas will typically be leaning toward liberal politics.

However, it’s important to note something Jonathan Haidt has said regarding this issue. Haidt has found conservatives and liberals have different moral views of the world. This creates a problem that he talks about in the following quote: “Because when people all share values, when people all share morals they become a team, and once you engage the psychology of teams it shuts down open

minded thinking.”

I am quoting this because I think it’s important to show liberals are more creative and are more open, but once tribal behavior is engaged, this is no longer the case regarding other teams. This is how liberals can be so open except to ideas that conservatives put forward.

The last large effect that was found, which is also consistent with previous research, is being low in neuroticism or high in emotional stability is associated with conservative economic views as well as slightly influencing conservative social views. This isn’t a knock on liberals, by the way.

Because liberals are more neurotic, this means they are better at paying attention to the needs of those who have been dispossessed.

I encourage everyone who reads this to take a Big Five personality test to see how your personality may be affecting your political views. I found I am in the 91 percentile for conscientiousness and in the 84 percentile for openness.

This is interesting because they predict opposite political viewpoints, but I ended up as a very conservative person. I hope you all learn something about your peers and yourselves through your results. @DailyToreador

Russian information warfare continues into 2018 midterm elections

T

he U.S. Department of Justice released its indictment of the first criminal case accusing a foreign national of interfering in the 2018 midterm elections, a Russian woman named Elena Khusyaynova.

The indictment names Khusyaynova as the chief accountant of Project Lakhta, an operation designed to heighten the political tensions felt by the U.S. on social media and other sources online by pushing arguments and spreading misinformation on divisive political topics such as immigration, the NFL national anthem protests and gun control.

The project’s funding is linked to Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin, a Russian Oligarch close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose two companies were previously indicted in February by the entirely separate Mueller investigation of the Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. The release of the indictment comes days after the joint public statement by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Department of Justice, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security warning of the “ongoing” campaigns by foreign nations to influence the upcoming 2018 and 2020 U.S. elections.

This is not a conspiracy.

As much as President Trump may downplay and continue to take a softened response to Russia, the issue is a bipartisan concern expressed by leaders on both sides of the aisle, and by all accounts a direct attack on our democracy.

The reality is that this isn’t a new attack on democracy. Russia, previously the Soviet Union, has had a history of a continued stream of propaganda and information warfare targeting our country, and others around the world.

None of this is new for their country, however, the brazenness and efficiency to which Russia’s cyber information warfare can directly reach the eyes of Americans through their phones, computers or other devices raise new and extreme concerns our country must deal with on an unprecedented level.

What the new indictment shows us is that Russia is confident in the success of their 2016 information warfare against U.S. democracy.

Trump, they believe it to be a success. They have continued despite the punishments in the Mueller indictments. Russia continues to pump tens of millions of dollars into these agencies designed to pretend to be Americans online and creating fake accounts on Facebook, Instagram and twitter to influence voters during the 2018 midterms and in the 2020 elections.

The way they do this as Scott Jennings, a republican strategist recently described to the Washington Post, is that Russians mirror and exasperate social media by using key buzzwords and phrases often used in our politics to blend in and have others believe they are Americans.

Importantly the Russian agents created accounts for all aspects of the political spectrum – democrat, republican, liberal or conservative alike.

Think of words or phrases that politicians use that cause us to react in defense of our own beliefs such as, socialism, liberal agenda, white nationalism, anti-abortion, patriotism, collusion, witch hunt, Muslim or immigrant. These are common terms used in our country’s political discourse and they are the issues Russian’s disguise their operations under.

As difficult as it is for us,

this means that we need to seriously question any extreme political content they see on social media, including the ones that support their own views. Liking or sharing extreme political content without verifying the numbers or information cited by the social media post on multiple credible news sites is an absolute difficult task for anyone. But, without us forcing ourselves to question content before we support it, we are put into a place where we are harming our own democracy.

The indictment shows us this can be done directly by the Russian operative recruiting an American who supports the leanings of the views their page expressed.

The Popular anti-immigration Facebook page titled, Stop A.I, which reached nearly 1.4 million people, shows a private conversation in which a Russian operative attempted to recruit an U.S. citizen to manage their Facebook page.

In it the recruit agrees to do it but states “Please tell me I’m not going to jail for this.”

The operative responds by saying “just a page lol” and that they’ll vouch for and pay them for their work to which the recruit responds “I trust you.”

These attacks are ongoing,

they are successfully targeting us, and they without a doubt are influencing our elections, to the extent of which we aren’t entirely certain. Russia’s has interfered in 27 countries’ elections since 2014. Even if we don’t know how much these efforts have impacted Western elections, the reality is that just the act of a foreign nation attacking our democracy through social media should have us looking more critically at ourselves and the flaws within our own political discourse.

Russia believes their weapons against us are our own political rhetoric, our own reliance on social media, our own stubbornness or exhaustion which keeps us from questioning our views, the politicians we vote for, the sources to which we gain our understanding of the world. They believe they can cause us to vote against our own interests in the 2018 midterms and beyond; for the average person the answer to how to combat this isn’t easy.

The answers to this mean we can no longer look to social media as a break from society – it means we have to question what we see politically on Facebook or other social media, especially the information that reaffirms our own views. @DailyToreador

Skyviews Restaurant provides students with experience

By RILEY GOLDEN Staff Writer

The Skyviews Restaurant at Texas Tech is a place where patrons can go to have the experience of an upscale restaurant – great food, a beautiful dining area and some amazing views of Lubbock – at a relatively low price.

Jason Lindley, the executive chef and general manager of the restaurant, said Skyviews is a full functioning restaurant that also serves as a lab for the hospitality and retail management program.

“This allows our students to receive a hands-on learning experience in a real-life setting.” Lindley said. “Currently, we offer two classes that operate Skyviews.”

Those two classes are Lunch Series and Dinner Series, which provide two different types of restaurant

experiences for the restaurant, hotel and institutional management students.

Garvin O’Neil, professor of practice in hospitality and retail management who teaches the course, said there are about 50 students enrolled.

“Every day, there’s about eight to 10 students in lab,” O’Neil said. “Half of them are in the front of house, the other half are in the kitchen helping them do the food, and then every week they rotate, so over the course of the semester they’ve done different things.”

Natalie Sharp, a senior in the program, was working back of house, getting experience with food preparation.

“You have to work for the whole semester, at least once a week,” Sharp said.

“And there’s a lecture that’s also assigned with this class.

When you’re back of the

house you do things like set up the buffet, and you help with the food, and there’s also dinner series, which we have Wednesday and Thursday nights, so we help with the food for that as well.”

While Lunch Series focuses on the basics of restaurant operations, Dinner Series is more about the big picture of running a restaurant, Lindley said.

“During Dinner Series each student will be given a night, they will plan recipes, menus, pricing and invite guests to enjoy an evening they’ve designed,” he said. “This is really a proud moment of accomplishment and satisfaction.”

For Dinner Series, the students are put into groups, with some of them running the show and some of them acting as those students’ employees.

The idea of this year’s Fall

Dinner Series was for the students to work with a local restaurant to develop a fourcourse meal and execute it at the Skyviews restaurant.

“We get the students in front of a chef, and they’re not supervised, and the neat thing that happens is they all sit down and talk food, and they hear a chef talk about why he put that on the menu, and that kind of experience.

You can’t duplicate that in a lecture,” O’ Neil said.

The students also are assigned a final project, in which they have to come up with their own restaurant concept. Sharp said she has a lot of ideas, and while she does not want the name of her most recent idea shared, she was willing to share the premise of the restaurant.

“My latest one is a build your own nacho place, where I’m trying to make sure that Texans who are in love with

a.m. to 1 p.m., and is open to all. Dinner is from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and requires a reservation, which can be made by phone at 806-742-4762 or on the Skyviews’ website. @DailyToreador

Professionals share tips on interview and resume skills

By COLEMAN TAYLOR Staff Writer

Writing a strong resume is one of the most important steps in the job search process, but cramming all the relevant experience, skills and education into one document can be difficult and stressful.

That does not even include the interview that comes after submitting a resume.

Taylor Martin, a freshman communications major from Dallas, said meeting the people who make the final hiring decision is the most stressful part.

Trying to make a good first impression can cause a lot of anxiety, she said.

“I get a little nervous, because I worry about what that person will think about me,” she said.

There are ways to ease the anxiety of these two key steps in the job process though, and they are relatively simple, Jay Killough, the managing director of the University Career Center, said.

The best way to improve the chances of getting the job and reduce the stress involved is preparedness, Killough said.

The key to this, he said, is practice. Whether it is working with a professional at the Career Center or even just a friend, immersion in the interview environment will help simulate what the real interview will be like.

Next comes developing confidence, Killough said. Some of the most common mistakes

made in interviews are lack of preparation and confidence, he said. When preparation and confidence are both presented in the interview, the chances of getting hired go up.

“Employers might want to give the job to someone who is more confident. That’s what we want to teach, to be more confident. Own it, tell me you want to work for my company,” he said.

Once past those initial hang ups, the more detailed skills in the interview can be refined. Having specific examples of experiences and being able to present those as stories is one of the best tactics for interviews, he said.

Thinking about answers as opportunities for creative storytelling can enhance the impression made on the interviewer, he said. For him, relating his stories and experiences to songs on albums creates a flow from answer to answer that creates a cohesive idea.

“Each song has a main idea, or a theme,” he said. “Every answer you give in an interview should have some sort of theme.

Each track of your album is a story you’re telling about an experience you had.”

Often though, interviewing is the second step in the process. Before getting faceto-face time with an employer, the resume must present the potential employee in a way that will attract positive attention, Ashley Penner, an assistant director at the University Career Center, said.

Penner said she helps stu-

dents get their resumes to that point. One of the first things along that process, she said, is getting involved in things to bolster the resume.

Beyond basic involvement though, she said a good strategy is to target the job description or organization specifically. Seeking experiences and skills that align with the desired job’s description is a good way to catch the employer’s eye, she said.

“Make sure that what you’re putting on your resume is reflective of what you think they would be looking for,” she said.

“If you don’t have specific experiences, then it falls on any marketable skill you may have.”

To help with this targeted approach to resume building, she said to compile everything into a master resume with no length limit. One should put everything they have ever done into this document, she said, and when it comes time to apply for a job, they can trim it to the relevant information.

“You have this foundation, this master resume, and then you pull out the pieces that may not be relevant,” she said.

This detail oriented approach to writing a resume only gets more focused as the process continues, she said.

Focusing on little details, even though they may seem insignificant, can have a huge impression on employers.

Consistency in everything

from formatting, color, font and even the dashes between dates creates a sense of professionalism and attention to detail, she said.

“They may be small details, but paying attention to those small details and making them consistent throughout show your attention to detail, and show that you’re meticulous in the way you present yourself,” she said.

However, she said every person has different opinions on how to build the best resume, so it is key to always focus on the goal or objective one has in mind.

“The most important thing is finding something you’re comfortable with, that you’re confident with and that’s in line with your industry,” she said.

Hopefully by the end of the process of resume building and interviewing, a new job will be waiting as a reward, Killough said, but even if it is not, there is still a consolation to be won. He said the confidence from writing a good resume and practicing for an interview can go a long way.

“It builds confidence, it’s a pride thing,” he said.

“They can own that, and it’s something they can control.

The job search process has elements that can’t be controlled, but these are the things you can control.” @DailyToreador

October play personal for Allison White

By GABRIELLE TAITE Staff Writer

Earlier this month, the Texas Tech volleyball team hosted its annual Breast Cancer Awareness match against Kansas on Saturday, Oct. 13, in the United Supermarkets Arena.

One Red Raider who played with some outside influence during this match is the native of Argyle, sophomore middle blocker Allison White. White is the daughter of Keith and Lisa White, two of the most influential people in her life. Her mother, Lisa, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, she said, and has been a survivor for almost eight years now.

Lisa White said when she was diagnosed, her family decided to turn a negative situation into a positive.

“We sat the kids down and said, ‘We have good news and bad news,’” Lisa said, according to Tech Athletics. “The bad news was that I had cancer, but the good news was that it was in my boobs, and I don’t need

my boobs to survive. Without missing a beat, Allison looks at me and says ‘Mom, if God chose to give you cancer, it’s going to be okay,’ and it kind of was from then on. It was just a journey we went through together.”

Allison said it is important athletes use their platform to support causes they are passionate about.

“With her being a survivor, it’s something really special to my heart,” Allison said. “I think that athletes get a lot more attention just because of the spotlight that we have, and just to be able to bring awareness to things like breast cancer is super important because they can really get a message out to people.”

Additionally, Allison has made tremendous accomplishments since becoming a Red Raider. In her freshman year, she made the 2017-2018 Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team, and early on this season, she made the 2018 UTRGV Tournament AllTournament Team, according to Tech Athletics. In the Pink Out game against Kansas,

Allison was included in the starting lineup and helped to close the gap between the two teams multiple times.

She said she uses lessons learned from her mother when it comes to volleyball.

“My mom taught me what it’s like to fight in situations that aren’t ideal,” Allison said. “She also taught me what it’s like to have faith through trials, and I think I live my life based off of that. It’s a super important cause and just to be able to have that conversation with people and letting them know my mom’s a survivor and how important it is brings awareness to it and can really help.”

Tech coach Tony Graystone said he is inspired by the White family’s strength.

“It’s hard to not be affected by it, and we know that for Allison especially it’s a big deal and for her family,” Graystone said. “They’ve been through an awful lot that we’ll never know, but it’s good for her to be here with us and share things with us.”

Graystone also said he

White is averaging 1.05 blocks per set through 22 games played. values the relationships the program has with its players and their families. He said that is what makes being a Red Raider special.

Allison said it is important Tech continues to have the Pink Out game once a year.

“It means a lot,” she said. “Just to be able to wear pink and support my mom especially, and others who have gone through similar things that she has.

Just to bring awareness to that is super important.

Something like breast can-

cer that could easily take someone’s life just makes you thankful for every day.

Just having the ability to be able to go out there and run and play is just a huge blessing and the game definitely highlights that.” @TaiteDT

MEN’S GOLF

Tech set to tee off in Tavistock Collegiate Invitational

By SAMUEL MEDLIN Staff Writer

The Texas Tech men’s golf team is set to close out the fall season in the Tavistock Collegiate Invitational from Sunday, Oct. 21, to Tuesday, Oct. 23, at the Isleworth Golf & Country Club in Windermere, Florida.

This will be the 14th time the Red Raiders have teed off in the annual event dating back to 2004, accord-

ing to Tech Athletics.

The pool of teams is stacked with top-notch talent, with several highlyranked teams competing in the tournament, including conference rivals No. 12 University of Texas as well as West Virginia University, according to the Golfstat website. Other notable teams include No. 8 University of Illinois, No. 13 Vanderbilt, No. 18 Arizona State, No. 21 University of

South Carolina, No. 22 Auburn, No. 25 LSU, Augusta and California Berkeley.

The lineup being displayed for Tech this week includes senior Ivan Ramirez, senior Adam Blomme, junior Sandy Scott, redshirt sophomore Kyle Hogan and sophomore Thomas Allkins, according to Tech Athletics.

Ramirez, Scott and Hogan have all competed in the event before, while Allkins and Blomme will be seeing

the course for the first time.

Last year, the Red Raiders entered the event as the No. 13 ranked team in the nation, according to Tech Athletics.

Tech finished in a tie for seventh place out of the 17-team field and had two players post top-10 finishes individually.

The top-10 finishes came from Ramirez and former Red Raider Fredrik Nilehn, according to Tech Athletics.

Both Ramirez and Nilehn completed the event, tying for sixth place individually with a total combined score of 4-under-par. Each of the two golfer’s low rounds last year came on the second day, where they both carded a 2-under-par 70.

Earlier this season, Ramirez claimed a ninth-

place finish individually at The Carmel Cup, according to Tech Athletics. He followed up the top-10 finish with a 30th place finish at the Showdown in the Rockies a few weeks later.

As a squad this year, Tech has taken a seventh-place finish at The Carmel Cup as well as a runner-up finish in the Showdown in the Rockies, according to Tech Athletics. Scott led the Red Raiders in scoring at the Showdown in the Rockies, posting a total individual score of 8-under-par, according to Tech Athletics. He finished the event in a tie for fourth place individually.

Tech is coming off an allsquare finish at the Big 12 Match Play Championship,

according to Tech Athletics.

The team completed the event with a record of 1-31, then finished all-square against No. 5 Oklahoma State University during the final round.

The University of California, Berkeley enters the event as defending champions, according to Tech Athletics. UC Berkeley posted a total combined team score of 6-under-par last year, beating out Tech by 13 strokes.

Wi t h t h e c o n c l u s i o n of its fall slate, Tech will open the spring season with the Amer Ari Invitational beginning on Thursday, Feb. 7, and wrapping up on Saturday, Feb. 9, in Kona, Hawaii. @SamMedlinDT

The Houston Rockets stole the rest with a gritty victory.

James scored 24 points, but Paul, Ingram and Rajon Rondo all were ejected after trading blows late in the Rockets’ 124-115 win Saturday night.

Before the late drama overshadowed everything, James got several big ovations from a tremendously lively sellout crowd in his first home game since joining the Lakers as a free agent.

“The atmosphere was great,” James said. “The fans were extremely excited.

We gave them everything that we could. Wish we could have gave them more with this win, but it was very electric.”

But perhaps that energy — and a flagrant foul by Houston’s James Ennis III against Josh Hart earlier in the fourth quarter — contributed to the shocking fight that broke out with 4:13 to play.

The Rockets were clinging to a 109-108 lead when Ingram was called for a foul while trying to defend an aggressive drive by James Harden, who finished with 36 points.

Furious with the call, Ingram shoved Harden and then confronted referee Jason Phillips after getting a technical foul.

In the ensuing group argument, Paul stuck a finger into the face of Rondo, who responded by punching his fellow point guard. Ingram then threw punches in the melee. James attempted to break up the fight by grabbing Paul, his friend.

Paul claimed Rondo caused their fight by spitting on him.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Bowman’s return served as a testament to his tenacity, as the true freshman collected a respective 408 yards through the air against the Jayhawks defense.

Furthermore, Bowman was 36 for 47 on completions while also tossing three touchdown passes.

Despite having a stellar return to play, the native of Grapevine threw an

interception on the day, accounting for his fourth on the year, according to Tech Athletics.

Bowman’s talented receiving corps provides him with one of the most essential components to finding success in the passing game. Furthermore, a tough and progressive offensive line has given the true freshman a firm foundation up front, allowing for plenty of time to let plays develop. Wesley mentioned how the Red Raider offensive line’s performance

against Kansas was a highlight in Tech’s victory.

Another important receiver in Bowman’s arsenal is sophomore T.J. Vasher. The true freshman quarterback targeted the 6-foot-6-inch wideout five times throughout the battle with Kansas for a total of 79 yards. With two talented receivers on each end of the field, Bowman can be comfortable throwing to either side of a play design.

“Like I said, anybody on the other side, definitely opens up a lot when they’re having a good game,” Wesley

said. “Definitely proud of him [Vasher] to be back on the field with me.”

With a constant threat on the outermost portion of the field, Tech’s run game is given space to find success up the middle. The Red Raiders collected 112 rushing yards against Kansas, as freshman Ta’Zhawn Henry led the charge for Tech by claiming over half of team’s total yardage at 62, according to Tech Athletics.

In Kingsbury’s assessment of the running backs, he felt as if the unit fell short

of their full potential.

“Today I don’t think we ran the ball as well as we would have liked,” Kingsbury said. “A lot of that had to do with Kansas. They were taking away the run.

We were able to hit some things in the passing game.”

As the Red Raiders advance through the remainder of their season, the offense must stay in sync while the defense continues to step up and hold things down. Kingsbury believes his team must continue to improve if Tech

“You look at the play-makers outside, the O-Line, all back from last year, some dynamic running backs, quarterback that’s making good decisions.

Senior Francesca Sella advanced to the semifinal round of the ITA Texas Regionals in College Station on day three of the tournament on Saturday, Oct. 20.

Sella went up against Kutudidze from the University of North Texas and defeated her in a 6-4, 6-1 victory to advance to the semifinal round, according to Tech Athletics. Sella is one of four student-athletes moving

onto the next round. Tech coach Todd Petty shared his comments on Sella’s play.

“She is starting to really buy into the competitive commitment it takes to be successful at this level,” Petty said, according to Tech Athletics. “She will have another tough one tomorrow, but it’s a great opportunity to challenge herself once again.”

Following suit to Sella’s success, a trio of young Lady Raiders also took wins in ITA play. In the singles extra match for day three, freshman Sydney

Jones defeated her opponent Ivacu from Texas A&M University 6-2, 6-1. Freshmen DeniseAntonela Stoica and Olivia Peet join their teammates in defeating their opponents.

Sella is set to face off against Anna Turati from the University of Texas. Turati is currently the No. 1 seed.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers ruined the Philadelphia Eagles’ dance party.

Newton tossed a 1-yard touchdown pass to Greg Olsen with 1:22 left and the Panthers overcame a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Eagles 21-17 on Sunday.

Julius Peppers sacked Carson Wentz, forcing a fumble on fourth down from the Panthers 14 to seal the victory.

The Panthers improved to 4-2 with the biggest comeback in franchise history.

The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles fell to 3-4.

“This place was as advertised, playing in a hostile environment but we overcame that and kept pushing through,” Newton said.

“Good teams have to win on the road and win close games and we did that.”

After Carolina took the lead, the Eagles started at their 30. A 48-yard pass in-

terference penalty on James Bradberry against Alshon Jeffery put the ball at the Carolina 22. Eric Reid appeared to intercept Wentz’s overthrown pass but the play was overturned on a video review. Wentz threw incomplete to Jeffery in the end zone on third-and-2 and was stripped on the next play.

“Pressure is off,” Eagles coach Doug Pederson said. “Nobody thinks we can do anything. A lot of football left.”

Brady throws 3 TDs, Patriots hang on Clemson back to 2; App State ranked for 1st time CHICAGO (AP) — Tom Brady held his breath as he watched the final play unfold from the sideline.

He saw Mitchell Trubisky heave the ball toward the goal line, Kevin White haul it in and a swarming defense keep the ball out of the end zone. That was just enough to preserve another victory for New England.

Brady threw for three touchdowns and the Patriots hung on to beat the Chicago Bears 38-31 Sunday when White got stopped at the 1 on

a 54-yard pass from Trubisky.

About four or five defenders swarmed White after he leaped to haul in that long heave and spun toward the goal line. Some Bears players tried to push him across. But he got stopped just short of the goal line, sealing the fourth straight win for New England.

“You hold your breath when I saw him jump up and catch it,” Brady said. “I didn’t have the angle on the goal line. He was getting close to the end zone. They were pushing and we were pushing. It

was probably a half yard or a yard, pretty close. Good for us to hold them out.”

Even if the execution wasn’t perfect.

“Just too many people around the ball,” said Josh Gordon, who was in on the play. “I went up to grab it.

Somebody else went up to grab it. There was pushing and pulling, everything like that. He ended up with it so it was a great play. ... Fortunately enough, we were able to hold him out of the end zone.”

Clemson is back at No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll behind top-ranked Alabama, moving up to where it started, after a convincing victory and Ohio State’s first loss of the season.

The Crimson Tide are a unanimous No. 1, with all 61 first-place votes Sunday, for the first time this season.

The Tigers trailed only Alabama in the preseason rankings, but a couple of close wins in September — combined with impressive performances by other highly ranked teams — dragged

Clemson to as low as No. 4.

Coming off a lopsided win against North Carolina State, Clemson rose a spot this week.

Notre Dame is No. 3 and LSU is No. 4, setting the stage for a top-five matchup between the Tigers and Crimson Tide in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Nov. 3. Both have an open date this week.

Michigan is No. 5 and Ohio State dropped to No. 11 after being upset by Purdue.

No. 25 Appalachian State is ranked in the AP poll for the first time in school history. The Mountaineers (5-1) have not lost

since opening the season with an overtime defeat at Penn State.

“It’s awesome to be recognized,” Appalachian State coach Scott Satterfield said Sunday.

“We’ve had a lot of positive things happen to our program the last three to four years. The first time we go bowl eligible, which was awesome. Then we go win our first bowl game. That was really cool. And then to go win our first Sun Belt championship two years ago. That was awesome. So there’s been a lot of first for us over the last three years. This is another first.”
