he Texas Tech women’s basketball team won its 11th-straight season home opener Sunday against North Dakota, 90-80. The game was played in the United Supermarkets Arena.

The Lady Raiders have not lost a home opener since 2004 and continued the trend by defeating the Lady Hawks.

“This was a great win for us,” Tech coach Candi Whitaker said.

“North Dakota is a very good team, and having watched their film, coming in we knew they were good and they weren’t going to quit.”

Sophomore guard Recee’ Caldwell showed her strong offensive mindset, leading Tech in scoring with 28 points. She shot 10-19 from the floor and drained five from outside the perimeter.

Caldwell also acquired two rebounds, seven assists and one steal during the game. Senior guard Ivonne CookTaylor and junior guard Larryn Brooks were strong offensive presences, scoring 10 points each.

Brooks was 4-7 from the floor and drained two from beyond the 3-point line. She also had two

rebounds, two assists and three steals to contribute to the win.

CookTaylor shot 5-6 from the floor and grabbed four boards, two assists and one steal during the game.

The Lady Raiders started the first quarter strong, leading the Lady Hawks, 33-18.

Tech played a full court press in the first quarter, coming up with five steals. Four of the steals came off the UND inbound pass, resulting in the Lady Raiders scoring early and often.

The team shot 13-24 from the floor and 6-9 from outside the perimeter. Tech attacked the board, coming up with seven rebounds in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Lady Raiders were able to hang on to the lead, 50-44. The team shot 7-14 from the floor and were perfect at the line, going 3-3.

The Lady Hawks were able to force seven turnovers to reduce the Lady Raiders’ lead to six.

Caldwell led the team in points during the first half with 13 as well as four assists and one steal. She put the first points on the board for Tech off a pick and roll to drain the three.

Moonlight Broadway and the Texas Tech School of Music will bring “The Phantom of the Opera” to life at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center stage starting Friday.

The show will run until Nov. 22 and from Nov. 25-27.

Gerald Dolter, founder of Moonlight Musicals and associate professor of voice at Tech, said he had always wanted to have “The Phantom of the Opera” in Lubbock but never thought he could get the show. Dolter learned he could produce the show if it was in a university setting and all the cast members were students.

“We decided to just jump on it,” Dolter said. “The pieces came together. The people that were available to do the various roles all wanted to become students again.”

David Gaschen, Broadway star and a Tech alumnus, will play the Phantom in this production. Gaschen, a Lubbock native, said he wanted to be able to sing in front of people he has known all his life.

ELECTION 2016

Experts explain imperfection in polling

By MICHAEL CANTU News Editor

Now that all of the presidential election dust has settled, many Democrats are reassessing their plans for politics after an upset victory by now Presidentelect Donald Trump.

G o i n g i n t o Tu e s d a y, Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton had nearly a straight path to the White House, with around 72 percent chance of winning, according to POLITICO. That was turned on its head

by Tuesday evening when Donald Trump swept the

electoral vote.

Most pollsters predicted a tight race to begin with, but the majority of them were shared the consensus that Clinton was going to win, Sara Norman, director of the Earl Survey Research Lab and professor of political science, said.

“But people need to remember that Hillary did win the popular vote. It was only by .2 percent, they were just off by a few points,” Norman said. “And when it’s a tight race like that, that margin of error can go either way.”

When people conduct a poll, they call landlines and cellphones, and within a survey sample they take those answers into account for a large margin of their results, she said.

However, there may be people within the sample who do not reply to pollsters, and non-responses can skew the survey results tremendously.

Many times surveyors and pollsters do not know the demographics of whoever does not respond, so they cannot take a guess as to which way they would have voted, Norman said.

“And when you think about the non-response bias, you have to think about the actual response rate of the survey,” Norman said. “A typical response rate for a survey is about 10 percent, and we consider that to be good.”

Since the inception of cellphones, the response rates for surveys has decreased, Norman said. In 1997, the Pew Research Center poll had a response rate of 36 percent. By 2012, the rate had shrunk to 9 percent.

In the past, people could conduct surveys by calling 50 percent cellphones and 50 percent landlines. Now, however, more people own cellphones, which means

major reassessing for surveyors, she said.

“The problem with that, with cellphones that is, is if someone calls and you don’t recognize the number, you don’t answer it, and you can block that call” Norman said.

“So, definitely technology has played a role in that.

Because of that polling has become a lot more difficult.”

For Texas Tech’s political science department and the Earl Survey Research Lab, more specifically, the surveys are conducted in the same way Pew and Gallup polls conduct their surveys, Norman said.

Recently, the Earl Survey Research Lab conducted a survey with 500 Texas voters to predict which way the state would vote.

For that particular survey, 500 people was a good-enough number to accurately predict which way the state would vote, Jared Perkins, visiting instructor of political science, said during a Nov. 7 news conference.

The most important thing to have in any survey is a random sample that fits within the margin one sets for the survey, he said.

“Most studies have shown that as long as you have about 500 people, you can get pretty accurate estimate,” Perkins said. “So, the reason why we calculate margin of error is that sort of gives us how much flexibility is there, with what degree of certainty.”

The lab predicted Trump would take 50 percent, to Clinton’s 34 percent, to win Texas, Perkins said.

Once all of the votes were counted, Trump took nearly 52 percent of Texas votes with Clinton at 43 percent, according to The Texas Tribune.

Looking forward, Norman said, there is likely going to be more research done on the non-response

bias to get a more accurate depiction of the direction citizens will vote. There is probably going to also be more surveys conducted

through cellphone use.

“We’re not quite there yet to not sample landlines at all, but I think the percentage is going to increase

Dangerous routes in Houston unchanged HOUSTON (AP) — Texas Department of Transportation records show no highway routes designated for trans-

port of hazardous chemicals in the Houston area have been updated over the past 20 years and government of-

solutions@ dailytoreador.com

ficials appear befuddled over who has the authority to do so, the Houston Chronicle reported Sunday.

The newspaper also said that 40 years after the wreck of a truck carrying 7,500 gallons of anhydrous ammonia killed six people and injured 178 others along the city’s Interstate 610 Loop, the city’s population has doubled in size and is more vulnerable to another catastrophic accident.

About 400 trucks a day loaded with tons of hazardous chemicals travel Houston’s inner loop freeway and pass within a mile of NRG Stadium, Memorial Park and the Galleria shopping center.

“You have every kind of chemical in the world coming through Houston,” said Kenneth MacKenzie, Houston’s former air pollution control chief. “We’ve been very fortunate with the amount of problems we’ve had.”

The Chronicle found other Houston-area cities and towns, like Conroe and Mont Belvieu, have even more dangerous situations because their main thoroughfares have been designated for transporting hazardous chemicals.

And roughly 150 miles to the west, Austin has no designated route at all, even though state law requires all cities with populations greater than 850,000 to have such routes.

Tech ROTC hosts Veterans Day ceremony

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

The Texas Tech University Army and Air Force ROTC programs hosted a ceremony for Veterans Day at 5 p.m.

Friday at Memorial Circle.

Rows of chairs were set up in a circle, with people in attendance either finding seats to sit in or talking with others. Members of both the Army and Air Force branches surrounded Memorial Circle in formation.

The event was opened with a speech by Cadet Battalion Commander Charles Walker.

Walker, a senior agriculture and applied economics major from Stamford, said this was Tech ROTC’s second ceremony with the first being hosted last year by the Army ROTC. “This is the first jointROTC event that we’ve had with Air Force and Army,” Walker said. “We’ve been working on this. It’s been months in the making, getting all the VIPs squared away and reservations and

all things like that.”

After Walker opened the ceremony by welcoming the guests and noting the meaning of Veterans Day, Cadet Wing Commander Justin Veck gave a brief history of Veterans Day, namely how it started as Armistice Day at the end of World War I in 1919 after the armistice, or truce, between Germany and the allied nations.

Veck, a senior business management major from Cave Creek, Arizona, said the preparations for the ceremony began in September.

“We’ve had at least one practice every two weeks or so since those initial plans began,” Veck said.

At the ceremony, speeches were made by three distinguished guests. The first was Juan Muñoz, senior vice president for Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement and vice provost for Undergraduate Education & Student Affairs. The second was Lubbock Mayor

Dan Pope, and the third was Congressman-elect Jodey Arrington.

Each of them commemorated the military and expressed their gratitude for the ceremony.

Zachary Stokes, a senior psychology major from Wylie who organized the ceremony, said he got the idea when he noticed Tech had few events to celebrate Veterans Day. “I went with one of my good buddies,” Stokes said, “and we talked to some (other) members and decided that we can put on a pretty cool event and be able to honor the veterans the way that they deserve.”

After the guest speakers were finished, the wreath-laying ceremony commenced to honor two fallen soldiers, Jose “Freddie” and Andrew Valez, with their sister Monica receiving the folded flag, or colors, from Arrington.

The ceremony then moved on to the ceremonial retrieval of the United States flag by

On Friday afternoon, members of the Tech ROTC programs and veterans gathered at Memorial Circle for the annual Flag Retreat Ceremony to honor Veterans Day. ROTC members from every branch of the military along with family, friends and community members came out for the event to honor veterans for their service. the Joint Army-Air Force Color Guard, who lowered the flag as the bugler played. The color guard then proceeded to fold the flag and marched out of the circle.

Stokes said he hopes the audience is brought together by this Veterans Day event as there are not many instances to do so.

“There’s not a lot of times these people can all come to-

gether and celebrate that as a community,” Stokes said, “and especially with how things are, I think honestly it’s good to have a sense of community and camaraderie.” @KirbyWarner_DT

Society of Women Engineers hosts outreach event

By ALEXIS CARDEN Staff Writer

Al mo s t 20 0 m i d d l e school-aged girls were inside of the Electrical Engineering building on Saturday to take part in an event that showcased opportunities for their futures.

The Texas Tech Society of Women Engineers hosted its annual Catch the Engineering Bug event, with help from Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Women in

Engineering organization and the Software Development Club.

Abigail Gershman, a junior electrical engineering major from Reston, Virginia, is the president of the IEEE Women in Engineering chapter at Tech. She said the outreach event is hosted to show middle school girls from sixth to eighth grade that they can become engineers when they grow up.

“Children are influ-

enced by different parts of society,” Gershman said.

“Right now, there’s an emphasis on the fact that engineering is mainly a man’s kind of world.”

Gershman said members of IEEE Women in Engineering helped the S o c i e t y o f Wo m e n E n gineers at this event by proving to the girls that gender is not what determines their careers.

“In engineering, it doesn’t matter of your gender. It matters wheth-

er you want to put in the work,” Gershman said, “and this is our way of introducing that idea early.”

Sheila DeLapp, a senior mechanical engineering major from Seabrook, is the internal vice president for the Society of Women Engineers.

“We had almost 200 girls sign up this year,” DeLapp said.

A lot of the girls return to this event each year, DeLapp said, and it is important to host this

annual event, so the girls who live in rural areas outside of Lubbock have the chance to come to Tech and learn about engineering in a college setting.

“Some rural areas just don’t have the resources to have something like this,” DeLapp said.

Lyndsie Slater, a senior environmental engineering major from Midlothian and a member of the Society of Women Engineers, said the girls took part in many different activities

on Saturday, including making filters; building towers and bridges out of straws; making rockets, circuits and catapults; and having egg drops.

Slater was also a group leader at the event and walked around with her specific group of girls throughout the day.

“I like getting the girls excited,” Slater said.

“They are having a blast right now learning about everything that we do.” @LexiCardenDT

Leon Russell dies in Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Leon Russell, who performed, sang and produced some of rock 'n' roll's top records, has died. He was 74.

Russell's wife, Jan Bridges, said in a statement that her husband died in his sleep Sunday at their Nashville home. She said Russell had heart bypass surgery in July and had been planning on resuming touring in January.

His final performance was July 10 in Nashville.

Besides his music, Russell was known for his striking appearance: wispy white hair halfway down his back and that covered much of his face.

"A true patriarch has been lost," said Beau Charron, Russell's guitar and pedal steel player, said in a statement. "Leon Russell fathered many musicians and fans thru life and love with his music. On his own terms. My years with him have shaped me in profound ways, and I am heartbroken to lose my mentor and friend."

Tributes poured in from entertainers who appreciated Russell's gospel-infused southern boogie piano rock, blues and country music.

On Twitter, Cat Stevens wrote that Russell was "a great influence and songwriter." Charlie Daniels said Russell "left a lot of great music behind." And Richard Marx tweeted: "What an extraordinary messenger of beauty he was."

Russell played keyboard for the Los Angeles studio team known as the Wrecking Crew, helping producer Phil Spector develop his game-changing wall of sound approach in the 1960s.

He wrote Joe Cocker's "Delta Lady" and in 1969 put together Cocker's "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" tour, which spawned a documentary film and a hit double album.

As a musician, primarily a pianist, he played on The Beach Boys' "California Girls" and landmark "Pet Sounds" album, Jan

and Dean's "Surf City," the Ronettes' "Be My Baby," and the Byrds' "Mr. Tambourine Man." He also played guitar and bass.

Russell produced and played on recording sessions for Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Ike and Tina Turner, the Rolling Stones and many

others. He arranged the Turners' "River Deep, Mountain High."

He also recorded hit songs like "Tight Rope" and "Lady Blue" and participated in "The Concert for Bangla Desh." John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison played on his first album.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Math department maintains high standards

A

fter reading Alex Olges’ column that was published on Thursday and titled, “Some Texas Tech instructors not qualified to teach,” I thought a response was needed.

Mr. Olges’ main premise was that his math instructor was not qualified to teach because he could not easily understand the instructor’s English.

The Department of Mathematics & Statistics takes the quality of instruction seriously.

English ability is one requirement that determines if a graduate student is qualified to be an instructor of record for a section.

At least two official Tech operating policies — 32.36 and 64.03 — state teaching assistants for whom English is not their first language must be certified in English proficiency and readiness for the classroom before they can be instructors of record.

All new international

David Cannon is the graduate academic adviser for Tech’s Department of Mathematics & Statistics.

TAs — otherwise known as ITAs — in the math department are required to attend an annual summer workshop offered by the department of Classical & Modern Languages & Literatures.

This workshop assesses the ITAs English proficiency in listening, conversational English and presentation skills.

Only students who meet the benchmarks for all three areas are certified as “approved” to teach.

Furthermore, all instructors of record must have completed at least 18 graduate credit hours in the subject of the course.

In the math department, all TAs have been graduate students for at least a year and have completed the minimum 18 credit hours.

Most TAs have master’s degrees in mathematics —

which is a 36-credit-hour program at Tech — and are working on doctorate degrees.

These highly educated TAs have the academic qualifications to teach undergraduate math courses and are extremely well prepared to do so.

The math department does a lot to ensure the quality and preparedness of its instructors. All math TAs are required to take a course on teaching techniques.

This course helps them learn to prepare classroom lessons and deal with common situations that may arise during their teaching careers.

The department takes student course evaluations seriously. Evaluation scores are one metric used to assess TAs’ performances.

Also, a math department faculty member evaluates each TA in class every semester. If either of these evaluations indicates that a TA is not performing up to the department’s expectations, remedial action is taken to

help the instructor improve.

The main issue here is communication between students and their instructors. Sure, there may be some communication breakdown in the classroom.

The problem may be because an instructor has an accent, because he talks to the board instead of the classroom or because he is too quiet.

Or the problem may be because a student is checking one’s phone instead of listening to the presentation.

The first things students should do to remedy these breakdowns is to ask questions of their instructors, either in class or during office hours.

The instructor may not realize there is a communication problem.

In the increasing globalization of our society, Tech graduates will need to communicate with people who do not share the same first language.

Learning how to com-

municate with these people is part of the college milieu of learning how to be a responsible world citizen.

Successfully clearing up communication problems between you and your ITA may very well help you secure an international finance deal or a contract with a foreign company in the future.

In the increasing globalization of our society, Tech graduates will need to communicate with people who do not share the same first language.

I, for one, think that all the university’s ITAs should be commended. It takes a lot of courage and dedication to teach 30-200 stu-

dents in a second language.

How many of our American TAs would be comfortable teaching their classes in China, India, Spain, Italy or anywhere t h a t E n g l i s h i s n ’t t h e main language?

The math department employs 103 graduate students employed as TAs or research assistants. Only 26 of those students are from the U.S. To increase the number of American TAs, we’ll need more students coming out of high school who aren’t afraid of math but are excited by it.

Those students will need to be math undergraduates and continue to math graduate programs.

Until that happens, most undergraduate math courses at Tech will be taught by TAs who have English as a second language.

Television helps construct individuals’ personality

G

rowing up, I was mystified by these boxes which had the power to enchant my mind for hours on end.

All I had to do was press a button, sit and stare, and I would be immersed in high-grade entertainment catered to my likings.

With age, my tastes evolved. Starting with young memories of “Dexter ’s Laboratory,” I progressed to the animated adult comedies like “South Park” and “Family Guy.” During elementary school lunch, I would converse with my friends about these shows; we would relish in our rebel-

lion via adult humor.

Ye t w i t h y e a r s , m y tastes surpassed those foolish shows. I moved on to more valiant expenditures of time, indulging in “Malcolm in the Middle,” “Scrubs,” “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

As I have reflected upon my years as an experienced TV enthusiast, I reached an epiphany. I realized I absorbed these television shows at an incredibly young and impressionable age.

In fact, I was so im-

pressionable that I would strive to model my behavior after the characters.

For example, I was inspired by young Malcolm’s cunning nature, Dennis Reynold’s confidence and conniving plans and Aqua Teen’s quirky humor.

These divine characters have stuck with me, and I feel as though I have become a product of these shows. Therefore, I will forever carry them with me.

However — while I consciously realize I am a walking mix of a few shows — I know this epiphany may not have struck many of those reading this column.

This epiphany stems from identifying the extent of our TV culture. In fact, among both males and females, it is normal to partake in an activity called binge watching.

When people binge watch, they watch TV until the mind cannot bare the lackadaisical activity anymore.

This threshold is usually reached at around six hour-long episodes. When one absorbs this massive amount of information, the show makes a subconscious impression on the mind.

We often admire the characters of shows we watch. Therefore, we regur-

gitate the traits and habits of these characters, striving to emulate our favorites.

This raises the question: When scripted TV — something which is a set of staged events that never happened identically in reality — moves us emotionally via humor, sadness, love or lust, how do we respond?

It is my belief that we strive to become like these characters we admire.

Perhaps, many people I know are just walking emulations of “Grey’s A n a t o m y, ” “ T h e Wa l k ing Dead” or “Game of Thrones” characters.

The only problem is these fictionalized hu-

mans represent unattainable ideals created to warp the mind of the viewer for a greater storytelling purpose.

Yet, as I have come to this realization, I have laid my remote to rest.

It is my mission to become my own person and remove the shackles media has chained onto my personality. In my apartment, there is no TV. When I have friends over, we talk.

It is time we indulge in each other instead of spending time investing in these fictional representations of human beings. opinions@dailytoreador.com

Black Student Association hosts pageant

By ALYSSA ACOSTA Staff Writer

Kortlahn Ballard, a junior human development and family studies major from Houston, was crowned Miss Black Texas Tech 2016 on Saturday night by the Black Student Association.

The Miss Black TTU pageant was started because women of color were not allowed to serve on the Homecoming court in the past. The pageant was discontinued later, but the BSA brought the tradition back.

There has been one black Homecoming queen in the history of Texas Tech, Juliana Bershell, a junior psychology major from Denton and 2015 Miss Black Texas Tech, said.

In 1992, Sonya Sloan won Homecoming queen, becoming the first African-American woman to do so at Tech. “(Sloan) was a real big inspiration to bring (the pageant) back,” Bershell said.

Lots of practicing, promoting and hard work went into bringing the pageant back,

Bershell said.

Marvin Kouame, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from McKinney and BSA membership chair, said bringing the pageant back has been a success. The purpose of the pageant is to have an African-American woman represented on the Homecoming court.

“It was very rewarding, in all, being able to be a part of something like this at Texas Tech,” Bershell said.

Bershell did not win Homecoming queen this year, but she did make the final five, which is something that has not happened for a minority in a long time, Bershell said.

The contestants in the pageant must perform an opening choreographed dance, followed by a professional attire segment, a talent segment, an evening gown segment and questionnaire segment.

The judges for the pageant this year were Bryan Hotchkins, an assistant

professor of higher education, Lupita Ramirez, a Tech alumna, and Tiara Cook, a junior public relations major from North Carolina.

The pageant began with the singing of the Black National Anthem by Jordon Johnson and a poetry performance by Sharence Moore.

Before the pageant, contestants were interviewed and had dance auditions, Ballard said.

“The winner of this pageant will represent the black community on next year’s Homecoming court. That’s big,” Ballard said.

Destiny Thompson, a sophomore kinesiology major from Bellville and a contestant, was ready to show the audience the work put into the pageant. Thompson said winning the pageant would be the biggest honor of her life.

“Being able to represent so many people with such a powerful meaning, it would be amazing,” Thompson said.

Ballard said being named Miss Black Texas Tech was

threats she received after Trump’s tirades objecting to her reporting. The Associated Press obtained an advance copy of the book Saturday.

Kelly, host of Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly Report,” said Trump routinely attempted to gain favorable treatment from other journalists and commentators.

“This is actually one of the untold stories of the 2016 campaign: I was not the only journalist to whom Trump offered gifts clearly meant to shape coverage,” Kelly said. He also attempt-

ed to woo them with praise, she said, adding, “This is smart, because the media is full of people whose egos need stroking.”

“Trump tried to work the refs, and some of the refs responded,” she said.

When it became obvious that some reporters were “in the tank” for Trump, she alleges in one chapter, “certain TV hosts” would work with the candidate in advance on occasional Trump criticism so they would appear unbiased.

She didn’t identify them by name or media outlet.

Resisting Trump’s attempts to buy her goodwill with an offer to comp her “girls’ weekend” stay at his downtown New York City hotel or fly her and her husband to visit his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida was an easy ethical decision, Kelly wrote.

Harder still was rejecting the ratings bonanza that the colorful GOP contender could deliver with his “unscripted, unguarded” approach that made for great TV but was the equivalent of “television crack cocaine,” Kelly wrote.

Bikers help Springsteen, stranded on the side of road FREEHOLD, N.J. (AP) — Coming across Bruce Springsteen on a broken down motorcycle on the side of the road could probably be a lyric from one of his songs, but it really happened for a group of guys from New Jersey.

A group from the Freehold American Legion was riding after a Veterans Day event Friday when Dan Barkalow says he saw a stranded motorcyclist up ahead near Allaire State Park in Wall Township.

“Bikers gotta stick together,” Barkalow said. “I stopped to see if he needed help, and it was Bruce.”

Barkalow says they tried to help get his bike running, but when they couldn’t, Springsteen —

wearing a brown riding jacket and a red handkerchief — hopped on the back of Ryan Bailey’s bike and they headed to a local bar.

“We sat there and shot the breeze for a half hour, 45 minutes till his ride showed up,” Barkalow said. “Nice guy, real down to earth. Just talked about motorcycles and his old Freehold days.”

Springsteen was raised in Freehold and still lives in New Jersey. The American Legion post says Springsteen is eligible to join since his father was a veteran.

“It was nice to help out,” Bailey said. “One Freehold person helping out another.”

Megyn Kelly: Trump tried to influence coverage with gifts LOS ANGELES (AP) — Megyn Kelly says Donald Trump tried unsuccessfully to give her gifts, including a free stay at one of his hotels, as part of what she called his pattern of trying to influence news coverage of his presidential campaign.

STUDENT ORGANIZATION

Students stay up all night for St. Jude

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

AMY CUNNINGHAM/The Daily Toreador

Lance Fletcher, a former St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital patient, shaves the head of Quinn Meunier, a senior marketing major from Richmond, on Saturday morning in the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center. Meunier and other members of the St. Jude Up ‘til Dawn organization shaved their heads after raising more than $100,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

PHANTOM

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 To b e i n t h e s h o w, Gaschen said he had to become a Tech student again, so he took three credit hours of classes for the role.

“I’ve played to the Phantom a few thousand times on Broadway and in Europe,” Gaschen said.

“The show has never been able to come through Lubbock on a tour, so when they offered me the role, I instantly took it.”

For the students in-

volved in this production, they are getting the chance to work with a Broadway star, Dolter said, and watching and learning from an accomplished actor is a great opportunity for them.

Josh Reynolds, a junior music education major from Lubbock, plays the role of Raoul de Chagny.

When he was offered the role, Reynolds said all he could do was nod his head.

Reynolds said he has put his best work into the show.

The cast has been working on the show for two and half months with about 1520 hours a week, he said. “ I h o p e p e o p l e c r y, ” Reynolds said. “I hope (the audience) feels the emotion of the show. I hope they never settle in their seat.”

From midnight to 6 a.m.

Saturday, a number of people stayed up as part of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Up ‘til Dawn fundraiser hosted in Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center.

Te x a s Te c h s t u d e n t s raised more than $101,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Mark Khan, a senior marketing major from Round Rock, said.

The event began in room 114, where four tables were set up: one for checking in, one for arts and crafts, one with cups holding gifts and one displaying bottles of 5-hour ENERGY drinks.

Khan said the program initially started as a letter-writing campaign before transforming into its current system based on online fundraising.

“Essentially what this program has become is a movement on Texas Tech’s campus in which hundreds of students get together and fundraise an insurmountable amount of money,” Khan said.

No other philanthropic program on Tech’s campus has as much student involvement or money raised, Khan said. This summer, Tech’s Up ‘til Dawn organization won Program of the Year in Memphis, Tennessee, after raising $111,000 the previous year.

After check in, the event moved down to the basketball courts, where awards were given out for the highest fundraisers. Lance

Fletcher, a cancer survivor treated by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, distributed the awards then shared his life story.

Evan O’Leary, a senior economics major from Midland, said the children who benefit from the fundraiser are greatly appreciative.

“The dedication that we have to them gets reciprocated back just through their gratefulness,” O’Leary said. “It’s really amazing to hear them speak and hear how grateful they are to us. It’s really tough to describe, honestly.”

Aspects of Fletcher’s life that he shared included his time at the St. Jude Target House. It was showcased through a slideshow that depicted the times spent with family and friends and the general road to recovery from osteosarcoma, a type of cancer that starts in the bones. Now, Fletcher has been free from cancer for more than six years.

A f t e r t h e s l i d e s h o w, Fletcher answered some questions from the audience, such as his experience at the hospital and the life lessons he learned such as appreciating what one has.

Tran Pham, a sophomore chemistry major from Flower Mound, raised the most funds, collecting $4,260 for St. Jude.

Pham said she was introduced to the event by Khan and was able to raise money through her work at Gene Messer Toyota. Pham talked about the event at each location and raised money from those locations and from fam-

ily, friends and coworkers.

Pham said she hopes people continue to support the hospital and help children whose lives are only beginning.

“It’s just that one thing that people just got to think about,” Pham said. “Yes they’re young kids, but they could still have a whole life ahead of them and a whole future ahead of them.”

The dedication that we have to (the patients) gets reciprocated back just through their gratefulness.

EVAN O’LEARY ST. JUDE UP ‘TIL DAWN St. Jude specializes in preventing numerous forms of cancer and early childhood illnesses. Khan said he hopes the funds gathered will help St. Jude in its mission of curing cancer.

The hospital, which is located in Memphis, Tennessee, requires $2 million per day to operate, according to the St. Jude website, and families never receive a bill for treatments, travel, housing or food.

“My goal is to kind of align with the founder ’s goal,” Khan said, “that no child should ever die in the dawn of life and that one day we hope that the hospital doors can eventually close because there’s a cure for cancer.” @KirbyWarner_DT

Texas Tech alumnus David Gaschen plays the role of the Phantom during a rehearsal of “The Phantom of the Opera.” To be in the play, Gaschen enrolled in three credit hours of classes at Tech.

Yvonne Racz Key, choreographer and artistic director of Ballet Lubbock, has been involved with the production since

the beginning. Key said the biggest challenge was finding the right dancers with schedules that would work with rehearsals.

“The Phantom of the Opera” requires ballet dancers and a lot of them, Key said.

In the end, however, the production could obtain only four ballet dancers, and Key said he had to change the choreography to accommodate for four dancers.

“It’s been fine. They are such good dancers, and they work so well,” Key said.

The sold-out show indicates how much the community loves Tech, Dolter said. All the students in the show will receive a scholarship from Dolter’s company, Moonlight Musicals.

“The Phantom of the Opera” is a popular show among locals, Dolter said.

When Gaschen played the Phantom on Broadway, many people in the South Plains could not afford to go, Dolter said.

“It’s wonderful for the people of the South Plains so that they do not have to go to New York,” Dolter said. “They can see the production that (Gaschen) was in right here.”

Tech drops first round match to Utah, 1-0

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Staff Writer

The Texas Tech soccer season came to an end after the team was defeated by No. 23 Utah in the first round of the NCAA Championship tournament Saturday afternoon.

The Red Raiders battled but eventually fell short to the Utes in overtime, 1-0.

Utah attacked the net throughout the game including overtime, getting off a total of 16 shots and seven corner kicks. Five of its shots were on target, and one of those resulted in the gamewinning goal in overtime.

Tech had some chances to produce on the field, but was held to nine shots with just one corner kick in the game.

Senior goalkeeper Lauren Watson faced five shots and came up with a total of four saves.

The first shot of the game came from the Utes. Junior forward Natalie Vukic took the shot opportunity for Utah but could not hit the target as the ball went high of the net.

After 25 minutes into the first half, the Red Raiders got their first shot off. Freshman forward Jade King took the ball down the field for an open look but her strike went wide of the goal.

Watson stood her ground and came up with a total of two saves in the first half.

In the first 45 minutes of play, Utah showed its offensive strength, getting off six shots, two of which were on goal, and four corner kick opportunities. Tech did not create many chances and had three shots, none of which were on goal.

Both teams played with aggression in the first half with the Utes having five fouls and the Red Raiders having six.

In addition to King, junior defender Cassie Conarty and freshman forward Tatum Barton were the only other Red Raiders to get a strike on the ball, but none of their attempts were on goal.

When the first 45 minutes of action ran out, both Tech and Utah remained scoreless.

Tech got the first shot off in the second half of the game. Freshman midfielder Jordie Harr was the one to get an open look at the goal, but her shot was just high of the net.

During the second half, senior defender Jade Dapaah collided with one of the Utes and received a yellow card.

Broncos defeat Saints, 25-23 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Justin Simmons' perfectly timed leap over Saints long snapper Justin Drescher brought the celebration inside he Superdome to a halt, and sent the Broncos galloping the other way for the victory. Just like Denver drew it up.

Will Parks scooped up Simmons' block of Wil Lutz's point-after kick and ran 84 yards for a defensive 2-point conver-

sion that lifted Denver to a 25-23 victory over the Saints on Sunday.

Simmons says Denver calls the play, "Leaper," and was "something we worked on all week."

"It took me a few tries to actually time it up and make sure I could clear the center" in practice, Simmons said. "We just picked up on their tendencies throughout the week watching film and executed the play."

Tech falls short against Oklahoma State

By ARIANA HERNANDEZ Staff Writer

The Red Raiders traveled to Stillwater, Oklahoma, to face the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the final stretch of Big 12 Conference play. Coming into the game, Tech was looking to break the seven-game losing streak the Cowboys had over the team.

However, Tech failed to break the record and fell to the Cowboys by one point, 45-44.

Junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes II completed 34 passes on 51 attempts for 344 yards and three touchdowns.

The Tech offense made more running plays this game with more possession time, giving the Tech defense the chance to recuperate in-between drives. Tech’s defense grabbed the first turnover of the game.

Receiver Dylan Cantrell was a key player for the Red Raiders with eight receptions for 65 yards and one receiving touchdown.

Oklahoma State’s junior wide receiver James Washington was a key player for the Cowboys with six receptions for 158 yards and one touchdown.

Oklahoma state junior quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 20 passes on 28 attempts for 395 yards and two touchdowns.

On its first possession in the first quarter, Oklahoma State came out with a touchdown after its drive of four plays covering 50 yards.

Rudolph was able to connect with sophomore wide receiver Jalen McCleskey for 26 yards.

The score stood with Oklahoma taking an early lead, 7-0, with a little more than 12 minutes remaining in the first quarter.

Tech tried to come back and tie the game, but the attempts deemed unsuccessful with multiple three and

RED RAIDERS COWBOYS outs. Tech’s defense could do little to stop the Cowboys’ offensive drive.

With 6:20 left on the clock in the first quarter, Oklahoma State found the end zone yet again for another touchdown drive that covered 63 yards in six plays. Rudolph rushed the ball in for nine yards, giving he Cowboys the lead, 14-0.

Following the Oklahoma State touchdown, Tech answered back with a touchdown of its own when Mahomes ran the ball into the end zone for four yards with 2:14 left in the first quarter. Tech trailed Oklahoma State, 14-7.

The Cowboys were quick

to respond and followed up Tech’s touchdown with an Oklahoma State touchdown with 21 seconds left in the first quarter. Senior running back Chris Carson ran the ball in from one yard out, extending the Oklahoma State lead to 21-7 to end the first quarter of the game.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Tech’s offense came alive. Tech found its momentum in the first drive of the second quarter with 10 plays that covered 75 yards for a Red Raider touchdown.

Oklahoma State led Tech, 21-14, with a little more than 11 minutes left in the second quarter.

The Red Raiders had a chance to make an interception. However, sophomore defensive back Jah’ Shawn Johnson was unable to get his hands around the ball. Following that play the Cowboys made their way down the field and scored a touchdown when freshman running back Justice Hill ran the ball in for eight yards.

With a little more than nine minutes left in the second quarter, the Cowboys led Tech, 28-14.

In the next drive, Tech made it a one-score game after Mahomes found junior running back Justin Stockton for a 3-yard touchdown pass making the score 28-21.

The clock stood at 3:44 left in the second quarter.

Oklahoma State fumbled the ball on the next drive, and Tech recovered it for the

first turnover of the game.

Tech then marched down the field and scored, with half a minute left on the clock. The touchdown pass was made when Mahomes found freshman offensive lineman Travis Bruffy wide open and made a 5-yard touchdown pass.

At the end of the first half, the score was tied, 2828, after Tech scored on its last four possessions. Mahomes passed for 137 yards and three touchdowns at the end of the half, while Mason passed for 240 yards and one touchdown. Cantrell had five receptions for 37 yards and one receiving touchdown.

After an unsuccessful first drive for Oklahoma State at the start of the third quarter, Tech took possession of the ball but, like the Cowboys, failed to score.

The Cowboys acted on their possession and pushed ahead of Tech when they

scored a touchdown with 7:25 left in the third quarter.

Carson made a 23-yard rushing touchdown, making the score 35-28.

Tech was unable to score on the next drive. However, Tech’s defense made up for it when the Red Raiders were able to hold Oklahoma State’s offense to a field goal.

The Cowboys extended their lead to 38-28.

On the next drive, Tech quickly answered with its own score when Mahomes ran the ball in for a 7-yard rushing touchdown with 24 seconds left in the third quarter to shorten Oklahoma State’s lead to 38-35.

However, on the next drive, Rudolph connected with Washington for an 82yard touchdown pass. The time on the clock stood with six seconds left, and the Cowboys headed into the fourth quarter leading by 10, 45-35.

The score stood at 45-38 after junior kicker Clayton Hatfield made a 27-yard field goal. The time left on the clock was 9:23 in the fourth quarter.

After Tech converted on an onside kick, the Red Raiders gained possession of the ball. However, on the next play the ball was stripped away from Tech and Oklahoma State took over.

Oklahoma State was unsuccessful in scoring, and Tech took over on the next drive, scoring a touchdown after senior running back Quinton White ran the ball in for one yard.

However, the PAT was no good and brought the Red Raiders short by one, 45-44. The time on the clock stood at 1:44 at the end of the fourth quarter.

The final score stood at 45-44, with Tech trailing Oklahoma State by one.

Next up, Tech will travel to face the Iowa State Cyclones at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Ames, Iowa. @A_HernandezDT
