ampus carry has been a widely debated topic at Texas Tech, and now, Tech Student Democrats are trying to give students a voice in that debate.

Destiny Molina, a junior political science major from Lubbock and Tech Democrats president, said the group is sponsoring a campus carry task force for students.

The group is trying to get students involved because this issue affects them the most, Molina said. The organization wants to gather students’ opinions.

“Right now, there hasn’t been a very good show up at the president’s forums and meetings,” Molina said.

The event will be hosted at 7 p.m. Dec. 5 in the Tech Laboratory Theatre.

Guns Up, Guns Down will be centered on the presentation of submitted literary works and musical, dance and dramatic performances. The evening is intended to be an examination of campus carry through an open exchange and discussion of campus carry.

“In the university setting, it’s so important to allow for free exchange of ideas, freedom of expression. Many people feel that guns on campus will intrude upon that,” Jared Strange, senior business assistant

The event will also focus on educating people about Texas Senate Bill 11. Strange said he hopes people attending the event will leave more knowledgeable about the campus carry issue and their stance on it.

Andy Wilkinson, artistin-residence at the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library, said he will either be singing a song or submitting a piece of literature for the Guns Up, Guns Down event.

“It’s a critical issue and we need some kind of dialogue,” Wilkinson said.

“This is not the business of the legislature to decide. It’s our business. The long and short of it is we need fewer guns, not more of them.”

Some people, however, might contend fewer guns is an infringement upon their Second Amendment rights.

The recent Hauntcert hosted by the Texas Tech School of Music featured spooky Halloween-themed music, including pieces composed by a Tech student.

William Linthicum-Blackhorse, a composition graduate student from Houston, composed two of the pieces performed at the Hauntcert. These pieces were the prelude and aria at the beginning of the production.

Blackhorse said he had no music experience at the collegiate level until he entered graduate school.

“I’ve never actually had any formal music training until grad school. I started composing when I was just 11 years old on the piano,” he said. “I was in choir in high school, so I learned music through that group. I learned to play piano on my own for the most part and I learned that I have this

for the College of Visual and Performing Arts, said.

“That may or may not be the case. Either way, I think one of the best ways to respond to this is to get things out in the public.”

According to the Tech Campus Carry Survey results, the number of participants who oppose campus carry is close to two times the number of participants who are in favor of it.

Although many people are opposed to campus carry because of political reasons, safety reasons and so on, Strange said there are several others who favor campus carry in light of equally valid reasons.

“So, I want those people there, too,” he said. “I want people who think that the worst possible thing to do is bring more guns on campus, I want people there who think the best possible thing to do is (bring more guns), people

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 In the Free Speech Area, Molina had a board showing places students could not smoke, but could have a gun.

“If you are going to allow one bad thing, it’s kind of showing; which evil are you willing to pick?” Molina said. “They need to pick. We’re having guns in certain places that we don’t even find it safe to smoke or have other harmful things so it’s a double-edged sword.”

Molina said student voices are important in this issue because it affects students the most. When the law was passed, she said, students’ opinions were not taken into account.

This is a chance for students to have a say in how the rules are implemented, Molina said.

Barden said the best way to have students’ voices on the task force would be to have a variety of students on the task force. In addition to an SGA member, the task force needs students on both sides of the issue.

“I just really want the student body to get out here and voice their opinions, we’re really open to things and so is SGA,” Molina said. “We need to hear the students’ concerns.” @KristenBartonDT

GUNS UP

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees people the right to bear arms in order to maintain a well-regulated militia. It does not say anything about unregulated individuals going around carrying guns, Wilkinson said.

Interested individuals are encouraged to join the conversation online using the hashtag #GunsUpGunsDown. People can also submit their work or proposals for the event to Strange at jared.strange@ttu. edu. The deadline is Friday.

Texas Senate Bill 11 was passed earlier this year, and will allow licensed individuals to carry concealed handguns into the buildings and facilities of public institutions. The law will be effective starting Aug. 1, 2016.

Tech created a campus task force in early September, with Provost and Senior Vice President Lawrence Schovanec as its chair, to assist in providing input into the development of a policy relating to Senate Bill 11. @SastryShashiDT

Clinton, Sanders spar over taxes, health care DALLAS (AP) — Intensifying their rivalry, Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday accused Bernie Sanders of charting a tax increase on middle-class families and undercutting President Barack Obama’s signature health care law. Sanders’ campaign shot back that her approach to health care was all about her financial donors.

Clinton said at a Dallas rally that Democrats shouldn’t follow a plan by “one of my opponents” that would replace the current health care system with a Medicare for all system, turning it over to the states.

“We should be working to build on it. Yes, does it

need to be improved? Absolutely,” Clinton told nearly 2,000 supporters at Mountain View College. “One thing we should not do is follow a proposal that has been made by one of my opponents.” She warned that it would empower Republican governors like Greg Abbott of Texas, drawing boos from the audience.

The Democratic frontrunner said Sanders’ approach would “eliminate” major pieces of the health care system, including private insurance, Medicaid, the Tricare system for veterans and other coverage. But Sanders has said his plan would incorporate Medi-

care into a broader system intended to cover all Americans and wouldn’t mean the government would stop paying for seniors’ health care.

Under Sanders’ proposal, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program would be absorbed by the new “singlepayer” system and be run by the states under federal rules. Private insurance companies would be sidelined to selling supplemental coverage and his plan specifies that Medicare beneficiaries would be covered during the transition.

Sanders’ campaign said in response that his singlepayer health system would

save taxpayers money in the long run because it would eliminate wasteful health spending.

And in a sign of growing tensions between the two campaigns, Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said Clinton backed a health care network that “props up private insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies which have given so much money to her campaigns.”

Clinton also sought to draw a dividing line on taxes, saying she was the only Democrat on stage during last presidential debate committed to not raising taxes on average workers.

White House holds call with 34 governors on refugees LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The White House sought Tuesday to reassure U.S. governors concerned about accepting Syrian refugees following the attacks in Paris, explaining during a conference call how the refugees are screened and prioritized for entry.

Of the 34 governors who participated in the

90-minute call, 13 asked questions, according to the White House. Senior officials on the call included President Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and representatives from the Departments of Homeland Security, State and Health and Human Services, the FBI and the National

Counterterrorism Center.

Administration officials have said screening for Syrian refugees includes an interview overseas, biometrics, fingerprinting and biographical investigations to determine if individuals are truly worthy of refugee status or if they pose security risks.

“The federal government

reaffirmed that refugees go through the highest level of security screening of any category of traveler to the United States,” Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat, said in a statement.

But Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey said there are legitimate questions about the screening process that remain unanswered.

EPA intends tougher air-pollution rule in 23 states WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency proposed tougher new limits on Tuesday on smokestack emissions from Texas and 22 other states that burden downwind areas with air pollution from power plants they can’t control.

At the same time, the EPA moved to remove two states — South Carolina and Florida — from the “good neighbor” rules, saying they don’t contribute significant amounts of smog to other states.

The EPA proposal came as Republicans in Congress moved to block President Barack Obama’s plan to force steep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. power plants.

The Senate approved two GOP-sponsored resolutions disapproving the powerplant rules and rendering

them inoperative. The measures were both approved, 52-46, Tuesday under the little-used Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to block executive actions it considers onerous with simple majority votes.

The maneuver is subject to a presidential veto and has rarely been successful in overturning executive branch rules.

The EPA’s proposal on downwind pollution follows a federal appeals court ruling this summer that upheld the agency’s right to impose the clean-air standards, which block states from adding to air pollution in other localities. Some states and industry groups had argued that the rule was overly burdensome.

The rule applies mostly to states in the South and Midwest that contribute

to soot and smog along the East Coast.

Under the EPA’s proposal, states would have to comply with air quality standards for ozone, or smog, set by the George W. Bush administration in 2008. Current rules are based on pollution standards developed in the late 1990s.

“This update will help protect the health and lives of millions of Americans by reducing exposure to ozone pollution, which is linked to serious public health effects including reduced lung function, asthma ... and early death from respiratory and cardiovascular causes,” EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said in a statement.

The proposal reinforces the obligations states have to address air pollution that is carried across state lines, McCarthy said.

Delta Gamma raises awareness about eye health

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

Delta Gamma hosts a variety of philanthropy events throughout the year, most notably its Anchorsplash in September, and members of the sorority have tried to spread awareness and education about eye health and disabilities.

The group also has booths in the Free Speech Area of the Student Union Building to talk to people about why eye safety is such a big deal, Katy Hailey, a senior early childhood education major from Dallas, said.

Delta Gamma has also secured sponsorship deals with many businesses around Lubbock.

The members have also been able to raise money through T-shirt sales by incorporating their business with University Tees, which gives back 20 percent of all sales money, Raquel Roulin, a junior public relations major from Sugar Land, said.

The most money the sorority receives is from its Anchorsplash event, in which they incorporate team synchronized swimming and other fun aquatic activities, she said.

“I would say our biggest are sponsors and

COMPOSER

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Blackhorse said although studying science was something that interested him, he did not feel peace within himself unless he was composing music.

“I went through a lot of depression,” he said. “I even dropped out of school for a semester because I was just so unhappy with what I was doing. Long story short, I finally started doing music, and as far as music is concerned, I wrote music from my emotions and that’s how I stayed sane in college.”

Blackhorse’s first commissioned piece, according to his website, was “The

participation fees,” Roulin said. “And then our girls actually are required to raise $25 themselves. So a lot of it comes from our girls going out and raising that money.”

They have also recently used a resource called Member Planet, an online system that connects email addresses, phone numbers and other sources of mass communication to create a wide net for a targeted audience and accepts online donations, according to the website.

The website is mainly used for alumni who cannot make it out to Anchorsplash, Roulin said, and with it the sorority has raised more than $2,000 this fall.

That amount added to the $11,000 the sorority made through Anchorsplash this year, she said.

Every year, most of the money goes to Service for Sight, which is through the national Delta Gamma sorority, and it also goes to a local or community charity of the Texas Te c h c h a p t e r ’s c h o i c e , Roulin said.

This year the chapter chose Guide Dogs of Texas, a training service for dogs to become guide dogs for the visually impaired.

With the money Delta

Gamma raised, it will sponsor advanced training for sight dogs.

“Eventually we hope to raise enough to where we can sponsor a sight dog ourselves,” Roulin said.

Earlier this semester, Delta Gamma had a representative from Guide Dogs of Texas give a presentation to the sorority, Hailey said. The members were taught the process of training a puppy as a sight dog and how it is paired with an owner.

The dogs are trained vigorously to adjust to the setting of where the owner is going to live, she said, and specificity is key because it lessens the distractions for the dog.

The dogs also serve as companions to their owners, she said, which is important because they are going to be with each other for a long time.

“They have the white canes, but I mean I feel like with a dog it’s more interactive,” Hailey said. “They can really see for you.”

Other group projects for the sorority included making touch-and-feel books to mimic coloring b o o k s f o r v i s u a l l y i mpaired children, she said.

Delta Gamma also continually collects Box Tops during the year to raise money for the Texas

The Delta Gamma sorority hosted the Dessert with DG event outside the Farmhouse Fraternity house on Oct. 26 at Greek Circle. All the money raised during the event went toward the philanthropy Service for Sight.

School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. The donations from the sorority were so large last year, Hailey said, that the school was able to get a refrigerator because of the Box Tops.

“We just like to be more hands-on than just raise money,” Roulin said.

The sorority also helps out at Lubbock’s Lakeside Rehabilitation and Care Center, where members go in every other Tuesday and help with dinner and put on holiday parties for the patrons of the center, she said.

“(For) Delta Gamma our motto is ‘Do Good,’” Hailey said. “And so we definitely want to fulfill that motto and share that motto with everyone, and just do good and make an impact on other people.”

All the activities for the group tie back to its philanthropy, Roulin said, which is to help the blind and visually impaired.

The members also feel as though they are doing a service to people who feel they might not need it, Hailey said. Preventing eye problems is something many people do not think about,

she said, and it could be as easy as wearing sunglasses when being outside.

The next big event the sorority is hosting will be Anchorslam in the spring, which is a five-on-five basketball tournament.

The group is also talking with Guide Dogs of Texas to name two sight dogs, Roulin said.

“It just is really cool to see organizations come together to support one thing,” Roulin said. “It’s not just people coming to support us, it’s us supporting others.”

Crush,” which was commissioned for Christopher Jorns and the Hutch Middle School Cantare Choir.

Blackhorse described the piece as girls having a crush on the same boy, he said, and they all sing about their feelings for him.

David E. Becker, orchestra director for the School of Music, said after reviewing Blackhorse’s pieces, he was impressed with his work.

“Last spring, I read one of William’s new compositions with the symphony orchestra, and I was impressed with his work,” he said. “It was an aria from a musical that he is working on called ‘Merlin.’ At that time I asked him if the Sym-

phony Orchestra could play some of this music in the Hauntcert on Oct. 30, 2015.

His music was received with praise by the orchestra and the audience.”

Becker said Blackhorse is talented and will have in the future in music.

“If William continues to mature and develop as a composer and musician, I think that he has a bright future after TTU,” Becker said. “He might write music that is commissioned and/ or teach composition on a university level.”

When the Hauntcert was getting closer, Blackhorse said he wanted to compose pieces that were fun and spooky for kids at the concert, he said.

Every composer has a creative process that goes into the creation and composition of music, and Blackhorse said he is no different.

His process usually stems from an idea or emotion.

“It depends on what it is,” he said. “Usually what happens is I get an idea of something that is happening emotionally or politically or a story that sparks my interest. Sometimes I will get a poem and sit down at the piano. I won’t even play it, but rather I hum a melody, and once I get the melody, then I start filling in the music.”

Blackhorse reflected on how his music became successful at Tech.

“Texas Tech is the only

school that would take me.

All of the other schools thought that my music wasn’t worth anything,” Blackhorse said. “Dr. Fischer accepted me here and gave me the chance to show my talent and what I could do. For the year and a half I’ve been in school, starting out with simple things, my very first piece, which was a flute piece, was a success.”

Blackhorse said the hardest part about composing music is getting the first people to play his compositions, but once they do, more people want to play them.

Blackhorse said his view of the future includes a fulltime job as a composer.

“I want to make a living as a composer,” he said.

“Just like any art, you want to do what you want to do and make it what you want it to be, but you have to think of what other people would find appealing. I want to write for film, Broadway, Hollywood and everything in between. My goal as a composer is to write music that everyone can emotionally relate to.”

For any musician aspiring to be a composer, Blackhorse said all odds must be defied.

“You have to do what’s in your heart and what you know is right,” he said.

“You have to suffer the punches and keep pushing forward doing what it is you want to do.”

Michelle Obama awards 13 youth

WASHINGTON (AP) — Calling a group of artistic youth the “next generation of fabulous,” Michelle Obama presented national arts and humanities awards to 12 after-school programs from across the country and one international program from Honduras.

Honorees included a musical theater program co-created by comedian Rosie O’Donnell that serves low-income students in New York City.

building, furnished and equipped in part by a $75 million gift from Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, a pediatrician who did medical training at the old San Francisco General Hospital — now to be known as the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital.

The 31-year-old social media mogul, worth an estimated $46 billion, made waves with his earlier forays in philanthropy — in particular, a controversial $100 million donation to public schools

in Newark, New Jersey.

This time, though, Zuckerberg and Chan made a comparatively traditional donation that funded the purchase of cutting-edge equipment for treating some of San Francisco’s poorest residents. It’s not exactly “Move fast and break things,” Facebook’s early slogan.

“I’d say that we’re trying to help people” rather than disrupt philanthropy, Zuckerberg said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press.

“Just like anything else

you want to do well, investing in social-good projects takes practice,” he added. “This is the reason why we’re starting when we’re young.”

The couple has transferred billions of dollars in Facebook stock to a nonprofit community foundation that helps them dole out the funds. Zuckerberg said the gift to the San Francisco hospital, which serves many poor and minority patients, meets the couple’s goals of “unlocking human potential” and “promoting equality.”

Adderall abuse must be stopped

I

n all honesty, I am really struggling to stay focused on researching “smart drugs” with my little sister watching “Phineas and Ferb” a mere 10 feet away from me. I probably shouldn’t be this distracted by a couple of geometrically disproportionate cartoons singing about having “squirrels in their pants,” but I am. In fact, most of the time, it seems almost impossible to do anything without being, in some way, distracted.

Ironically, my aforementioned research on the illicit use of “smart drugs” like Adderall and Ritalin, commonly prescribed to treat ADHD or other attention deficit disorders, has snuck its way into our lives (and especially our universities) in an attempt to combat this chronic distraction. In fact, according to a survey reported in an NBC News article by Amy Diluna, “almost three quarters of college students” have made themselves aware of how it is “easy to find controlled stimulants on campus.”

This means there are only about 25 percent of us who are not in some way knowledgeable, encouraging or facilitating the underhanded sale of an unfair advantage in the form of a pill.

Because Adderall and Ritalin are used not only to curb distraction, but also to provide advanced memory recall and enviable focus, the use of these drugs has escalated the level at which countless students perform. Consequently, the rising prevalence of such substances has driven many of us to seek out their performance boosting assistance on our exams and projects in order to keep up with the students who use the drug.

Perhaps, as a Forbes Magazine article titled, “College Students Turn to Peers For Prescription Stimulants” by CJ Arlotta suggests, the reason why we are seeing such rampant abuse of these drugs is because of our country’s obsessive, drug-taking culture. Unfortunately, I am not even sure many of those relying on the aide of Adderall and Ritalin would even consider it drug abuse.

In fact, the Arlotta goes on to say, “we use a lot of prescription medications in the U.S. (about 5 billion prescriptions per year), we see drug ads on television (we are one of only two countries to allow this), and we expect quick fixes for health issues (as opposed to behavioral change).” Therefore, “to some extent the use of medications has become normalized in our society, and perhaps students see this as an acceptable means of managing their lives,” Arlotta says.

So, as this academic controversy seems comparable to the rampant use of steroids in athletes, another detriment of our “drug-taking culture,” we can see that these drugs have normalized the idea of receiving a significant advantage academically and have, therefore, destroyed the validity of any sort of standardized test or exam.

Before going in to take that horribly long ACT test, a friend of mine asked me what I was “on.” At first, I didn’t even understand what was meant by that question. What was I on?

In that moment, I realized the chances of me scoring within the top tier of testers were even slimmer than I had understood. I wasn’t playing the same game as many of the kids trying to secure an ACT score in the coveted range of 30 or higher.

And if that was the case, then I was going to have to be pretty brilliant or exceptionally disciplined in order to test my way into a university categorized as “highly selective.” This troubling fact made me wonder, are we filling our universities not with the best students, but with the students most apt at cheating their way to the top?

In addition, the rising use of these drugs could be adding an element to education that will drive our competitive culture to a new devastating and morally corrupt extreme.

In a Washington Post article titled, “‘Smart drugs’ are here — should college students be allowed to use them?” Nicole Vincent, an associate professor of philosophy, law and neuroscience at Georgia State University, argued both sides of this argument.

P o i g n a n t l y, Vi n c e n t said, “if the new normal is using these performanceenhancing drugs to get ahead ... our competitive society is likely to make the drugs a new standard, coercing people to have to choose to use drugs in a bid to keep up.”

As a student who always played by the rules, I was initially devastated to discover this harsh reality. Not only will the consequences of abundant drug abuse find their way into the testing system that helps get many of us into college, but it will follow us here, to college.

We will be competing for leadership positions, internships and careers with people who have taken advantage of society’s blind eye on the topic of performance-enhancing substance abuse. Because of this, it is looking like the good guy might come in last once again. As our culture continues to promote high achievers and neglects to look closely at how they achieved all they did, those who refuse to be bullied by the pressure of these rising standards could very well be left in the dust.

Unless we want to be cast aside as lesser, we must call out the illegal and blatant cheating which is infiltrating our competitive society and curving the scale of success. aaiken@dailytoreador.com

Obama at fault to admit Syrian refugees

I

f someone threatens to harm you and your family, would you let him or her in your home? The answer is pretty obvious. Any clearminded person would bar the intruders from his or her home, giving them no possible entry in order to protect themselves and their family.

President Barack Obama is fighting to do the exact opposite, striving to give 10,000 refugees a home in America, according to a Sunday Washington Times article. With Obama pledging to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States, he is taking a risk with the security of the U.S. and the safety of Americans.

When ISIS attacked Paris, the question of allowing refugees to enter into different countries, especially the U.S., quickly became the main point of focus. After the public found out one of the terrorists involved in the Paris shooting and bombing spree entered the country under the guise of a Syrian refugee, the opinions

hen it rains in Lubbock, it rains hard. Despite Lubbock streets becoming flooded quickly, the city deserves some credit for how it has recently designed its drainage system to react in rainy occasions.

The saying goes, “if you do not like Lubbock’s weather, wait five minutes and it will change,” proved especially true Monday night, as a tranquil night quickly turned stormy and pounded the town senseless. The rains hit spontaneously and hard. Going outside when it was not raining was like playing Russian roulette — in two seconds it could go from no rain to a Niagara Falls-like blast.

To make matters worse, we Lubbock drivers are not accustomed to staying indoors because of weather. Geographically, Lubbock is situated in a semi-arid environment, preventing us from receiving much rain or snow. During 99 percent of the year, we can be kings of the roads. When it rains, the thought of staying indoors seems foreign.

Despite Lubbock’s semi-arid environment, its geography also makes the city incredibly hard to drain. Lubbock, although mostly flat, is filled with

of many were turned upside down, with fear for our safety being the main reason of the shift of morals.

According to CNN, the one bomber was not the only individual who had a fake passport. In an article by Christiane Amanpour and Thom Patterson titled, “Passport linked to terrorist complicates Syrian refugee crisis,” we find out “the two others who detonated themselves at the stadium carried false Turkish passports.” With these facts, the president should be even more cautious about letting these Syrian refugees into the U.S. The main reason we should not accept the refugees promised by Obama is concern for the safety of Americans.

Though ISIS has released a video threatening to attack Washington, Obama is still adamant to accept these refugees into the U.S. Accepting these refugees will make the U.S. more susceptible to attacks by ISIS from the inside, as well as the transfer of information out of the country to ISIS sympathizers.

There is an adamant statement against accepting the refugees from various governors and senators from more than half of the states, according to CNN. In an article by Ashley Fantz and Ben Brumfield titled, “More than half the nation’s governors say Syrian refugees not welcome,” Fantz and Brumfield report 27 states currently oppose letting Syrian refugees into their borders.

This push to keep refugees out of the U.S. is the right decision to ensure the safety of Americans. The decision of the 27 states to refuse these refugees will help to keep the U.S. safe from any internal attacks.

If the recent attacks on Paris have taught us anything, it is that one of the terrorists from the attack carried a Syrian passport, as if he were under the disguise of a migrant refugee. In reality, he was an ISIS terrorist, hell-bent on the destruction of innocent lives throughout the world.

With the previous video from ISIS threatening an attack on Washington, the U.S. should not take this threat lightly. If these refugees are let into the country, we are risking an attack on the U.S. much like the attack in Paris, bringing the death toll to more than 120.

The president is risking the well-being and safety of Americans if these refugees are allowed into the U.S. The best decision is to not let any of these refugees into the U.S. to ensure the safety of the president and the safety of the Americans throughout the country. bdefilippis@dailytoreador.com

countless dips and depressions that hold water. Looking at the City of Lubbock’s flood maps, it is easy to see these depressions are numerous, randomly dispersed and incredibly bothersome, like an unfortunate case of high school acne.

Contrasted with a single, large drainage area, these small depressions are more costly and difficult to drain.

Whereas rain on sloped streets can be easily drained, Lubbock streets tend to gather pools of rain unevenly.

Despite these difficulties, the city has done a fantastic job in constructing a drainage system that can quickly drain water. Students may be frustrated the streets do not instantly drain water, but to request such a system would be incredibly expensive and difficult to install.

In a June 4 interview with The Daily Toreador, Lubbock City Engineer Mike Keenum said most city drainage systems are not designed to handle the

sporadic, heavy type of rainfall Lubbock receives. Keenum said when the City of Lubbock met in 1997 to design drainage improvements, it quickly realized designing a system to handle such sudden downpour would be incredibly expensive.

“We could say that we are going to take any drop of rain that hits the ground and put it underground.” Keenum said.

“Back in ’97, it was estimated that would be billions of dollars. I would fathom to say that it has increased by several orders of magnitude.”

Though the Lubbock streets may be quick to flood, they are also incredibly quick to drain. In 1999, parts of Lubbock were flooded for months after a disastrous flood in June, according to Ken Rainwater, a civil, environmental and construction engineering professor in a previous Daily Toreador interview.

In fact, it seems that 1999 marked the end of a century of flooding in Lubbock. Shortly after the Lubbock AvalancheJournal published an article in July 1999 regarding the flood as a “flood of the century,” an angry letter to the editor appeared. It read, “Where were you in 1983? Also in October 1991, we received six inches

of rain and a flood just as bad as this last one. We heard a promise by the city to fix the problem. But within a couple of months, the city was quiet about the flooding and nothing more was said, until now.”

Thankfully, ever since the city began improving the drainage system in 1997, the city drains much more efficiently. Though the intersections may fill quickly, within an hour or two after the rain the streets are clear again.

Instead of criticizing the city drainage system, students should realize the flooding from Lubbock’s sudden downpour is largely unavoidable and should be avoided at all costs. Every time it floods in Lubbock, there are always stalled cars and crashes that could have been avoided if drivers had stayed indoors.

Even in Lubbock, rain and ice can cause dangerous traffic situations. For rain, the City of Lubbock has made great improvements to make the city safer, and residents should be aware of how far Lubbock has come. For times that Lubbock weather gets too rough, residents should accept the inevitable and just stay home. jmiller@dailytoreador.com

Tech one win away from above .500

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

In its second to last game of the 2015 season, the Texas Tech volleyball team faces a rising Texas Christian Horned Frogs team in an away game at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the TCU Recreation Center.

Tech won its last game 3-0 against the West Virginia Mountaineers, snapping a sixgame losing streak extending all the way back to its first matchup versus West Virginia in mid-October.

For senior libero Carlie Foust, Tech’s victory over West Virginia marked a career night for her as she recorded 28 digs and moved into the sixth spot for most single-season digs in Tech history at 444. Foust’s performance earned her a third Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week award, a first for any Red Raider.

Tech coach Don Flora said Foust matured greatly stepping into a starting role

for the 2015 season.

“For someone to grow, continue to develop and really take the reigns of what she needs to do to be a great libero after following the best libero in the history of Texas Tech volleyball is a real tribute to her hard work,” Flora said.

Foust’s record setting performance and Tech’s win over the Mountaineers gave the Red Raiders some momentum before facing a TCU team with a middle blocking core leading the Big 12 with an average of 2.94 blocks per set, according to a Big 12 release.

TCU enters its matchup versus Tech with three games remaining, a 17-8 overall record and a 7-6 conference record.

TCU’s improvement, Flora said, traces back to its well-developed middle line, something which affects the rest of the Horned Frogs squad.

“They’ve gone from being a fairly average middle blocking team to being a very good over-

all blocking team and they’re getting a lot of offense from two middles that are finally juniors,” Flora said. “They have a really strong group coming back.”

In its win over West Virginia, Tech relied on junior setter Marguerite Grubb to run the offense for the entirety of the match as freshman setter Morgan Reed sat out because of an injury.

Freshman outside hitter Sarah Redding, who collected 11 kills versus West Virginia, said she has focused on connecting with Grubb’s passes to throw off TCU’s defense.

“I’ve been working a lot on high off hands and just connecting with Marge (Grubb) better,” Redding said. “I feel like it’s been kind of getting progressively better.”

A win against TCU moves Tech to a 15-13 record and 4-10 record in the Big 12. If Tech defeats the Horned Frogs, it would record its first above-.500 record since 2001. @DGaytanDT

Grant should be considered for Biletnikoff Award

T

exas Tech senior wide receiver Jakeem Grant was named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List for the second-straight year prior to the season’s start. But, for the second year in a row, he was left off the best receiver in college football award’s semifinalist list.

The 10 semifinalists for the award were announced on Tuesday on the Biletnikoff Awards website, and Grant’s name was wrongly left off.

This should come as a surprise to Tech fans, and frankly, anyone who has watched Grant play this season.

With one regular season game and a bowl game remaining for the Red Raiders this season, Grant has already set career highs with 78 catches for 1,038 yards, his first career 1,000-yard season. He has also caught six touchdowns.

While the award is more focused on the receiving part of the players’ games, Grant has also been the most dangerous returner in the Big 12 Conference this season.

In addition to his 1,038 receiving yards, Grant has 896 kickoff return yards with two more touchdowns, according to the Tech Athletics website.

Grant leads the Big 12 and is third in the country in allpurpose yards per game.

While one could say that my opinion of Grant is biased, the

numbers do not lie. Of the 10 players announced on Tuesday, Grant has more receiving yards than five of them. None of them average more all-purpose yards than he does.

The 5’7’’ 168-pound receiver said winning the Biletnikoff Award was one of his goals this season, but people often count him out because of his size.

“Once again, no one is talking about me because of my height and my size,” Grant said earlier this season. “It just ticks me off because I’m putting up way better numbers than some of those guys in the nation.

These guys are being talked about more than me because of their height and size.”

Three Big 12 wide receivers were selected as semifinalists over Grant: Baylor’s Corey Coleman, Texas Christian’s Josh Doctson and Oklahoma’s Sterling Shepard.

Shepard has one more total touchdown than Grant but has less yards and catches.

While Coleman and Doctson have better statistics than Grant and should be the frontrunners for the award, Grant should have been included as

a semifinalist over Shepard or another receiver.

Coleman and Doctson are first and second in the nation in receiving yards per game and Coleman is on pace to break the NCAA all-time record for receiving touchdowns in a single-season.

Statistics should not be the sole determinate of the semifinalists, though.

Players’ overall impact on a game should be considered.

Outside of Coleman and Doctson, there might not be a receiver who affects the outcome of a game more than Grant does.

After considering Grant’s impact and his numbers, he is without a doubt one of the top 10 receivers in the country and should be a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award.
