Holiday art exhibit opens to public

By ALYSSA ACOSTA Staff Writer

The Season’s Greetings from Raiderland exhibit is now open in the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library and will run through the holidays.

The exhibit showcases 12 ornaments, photos of Texas Tech traditions and small-scale models of buildings at Tech.

Beginning in 1997, an official Tech holiday ornament has been sold through the university to benefit Tech students in the form of scholarships. Each ornament is designed to show a unique feature or tradition of Tech.

The ornaments honor a few iconic traditions Tech is known for, from the Bell Tower to the Masked Rider, Lyn Stoll, exhibit

John Gilliam, an associate professor in the department of Personal Financial Planning in the College of Human Sciences, was named to www.WealthManagement.com’s Ten To Watch in 2017 list.

The list identifies people expected to be innovators and influencers in the financial advice industry, according to a Texas Tech news release.

Gilliam has 37 years of experience as a financial adviser and recently brought on a board of directors, representing multiple disciplines in the financial services industry, according to the release.

He also collaborated with other financial services professionals to create the Best Interest Initiative, a research project designed to explore consumer attitudes and beliefs pertaining to the Department of Labor's April 2016 fiduciary rule, according to the release.

The fiduciary ruling required financial advisers who make recommendations to employer-sponsored plan participants and owners of individual retirement accounts to act in their clients’ best interests, according to the release. David Armstrong, editor-in-chief of www.

WealthManagement.com, said the magazine staff included Gilliam on the list because of his research on the Department of Labor's ruling on best interest.

fabricator for the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library, said.

“We thought it was a perfect for the holidays,” Stoll said. “These ornaments celebrate different traditions and different buildings at Texas Tech.”

Stoll said one of her favorite ornaments is the one showcasing the Masked Rider. The ornament is accompanied by a vintage photo of the Masked Rider holding the Guns Up with both hands and charging across the field.

Another ornament Stoll finds charming is the Bell Tower ornament. The Bell Tower is a wellknown landmark at Tech, Stoll said, and the ornament is accompaELISE BRESSLER / The Daily Toreador nied by a small-scale model of the Bell Tower at the exhibit.

Citizen told to leave if can’t accept Trump SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A federal judge in San Antonio finds himself at the center of an uproar after telling newly sworn U.S. citizens that Donald Trump is “your president, and if you don’t like that, you need to go to another country.”

U.S. Magistrate Judge John

Primono’s comments were reported by KENS-TV in San Antonio, which covered the naturalization ceremony at which 500 immigrants took the oath of U.S. citizenship at the Institutes of Texan Cultures on Thursday.

“I can assure you that whether you voted for him or

you did not vote for him,” the television report quoted him as saying of the presidentelect, “if you are a citizen of the United States, he is your president. He will be your president, and if you do not like that, you need to go to another country.”

Country artist returns home for concert Returning to the place you started playing music is a special moment.

For country artist K Phillips, he will get the chance to come home to West Texas when he plays at 8 p.m. Saturday in The Blue Light Live.

Phillips, a West Texas native, said it is a special thing that is happening with the music scene in Lubbock. A surplus of quality songwriters are coming from Lubbock.

“There are a lot of great songwriters, and they keep writing, and younger ones are coming in, and the older ones are going away to Nashville,” Phillips said.

Phillips said growing up in West Texas helped develop his country sound.

With life being somewhat slow in West Texas, Phillips’ imagination grew and he developed his musical skills.

There was not much to do in West Texas, Phillips

said. Music was the best choice for him.

“You could either get into drugs or play football,” Phillips said. “It was too hot to play football, and I was too broke to do drugs. I loved (playing music). I felt like I found it, and it saved me.”

As a kid, Phillips said, he loved listening to punk rock music. But, as a piano and an organ player, he eventually got interested i n s o u l m u s i c and t he sounds of Solomon Burke and Al Green because it matched the instruments he could play.

Phillips said he did not pick how his music was going to sound. His experiences growing up in West Texas shaped the kind of music he performed.

“Everything that we have experienced in this life informs what comes out,” Phillips said. “I don’t get to pick that people think I make some sort of

rural music. It’s the way it comes out.”

Having played in The Blue Light Live many times, Phillips said the shows there always have an interesting dynamic.

A variety of people attend those shows.

“You have kids there to party and then you have songwriters that come and see you, and you have to bring your A-game,” Phillips said. “My performance will be a little bit of both (for each crowd).”

Phillips said he has one goal through his music: connecting with his audience. He hopes he will be able to continue playing music for the rest of his life.

“I want to keep playing music,” Phillips said. “I have already missed the chance to be the hip artist.

I am too old to be the next pop sensation. I just want to spend the next 40 years making music.” @DavidGayDT

Organization spreads culture through dance Texas Tech’s first Bollywood dance team, Tech Kahaani, will have tryouts for next semester on Nov. 30.

According to the organization’s Facebook page, Tech Kahaani’s goal is to express cultural diversity through the art of Bollywood-style dance and, through it, to give back to the community.

Bollywood dancing itself, according to the Rhythm India website, was modeled off Indian classical and folk dances, such as Kathak and Bharatanatyam. It then began incorporating different western styles throughout the 1970s and 1980s, such as disco and cabaret. In modern day, Bollywood dance has been significantly influenced by hip-hop, while still maintaining its Indian heritage.

Stacy Varghese, the team’s co-captain and a junior finance major from Plano, said Tech Kahaani was founded before because one had not been established at that time.

“I actually got recruited my freshman year, first semester,” Varghese said.

“I met one of the girls, and we were talking about dancing, and she’s like, ‘Oh yeah, come try out for Kahaani’. There were tryouts next week, so I came to the workshops and try-

outs, and I made it.”

Varghese said the team had a total of 10 members, and Tech Kahaani performed for celebrations such as Diwali and Holi during its first and second semesters. Tech Kahaani’s first competition was last year at the University of Oklahoma.

She said the members have also danced in Worldwide Showcase, an annual event hosted at Tech for students from across the world to express their unique cultures through performing arts.

Va r g h e s e s a i d s h e hopes those who have joined and those wishing to join Tech Kahaani will, most of all, have fun.

“After high school,” she said, “it’s kind of hard to still keep doing what you love like dance. It’s

kind of hard to join an organization like that.

So, Kahaani’s just kind of a place for people to keep doing what they love.”

The team practices twice a week in the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center. Tech Kahaani typically gets many opportunities to perform, Varghese said.

Although the team could not perform this semester, Varghese said, the members are ready for what will come next semester.

“There’s a lot to Bollywood dancing,” she said.

“It’s not just what you see in the movies. It’s actually a lot of fun.”

More information on the organization can be found on its Facebook page and its OrgSync profile.

COLUMN

People need to stop justifying Trump’s win H ere I am writing another column on politics. I’ve said many times before I try to stay away from anything involving the election, but — as The Daily Toreador’s cartoonist, Nate Wells, put it — “The best part of Trump winning is how easy he makes my job.” This stuff practically writes itself.

Here we have Presidentelect Donald Trump set to take office this January. If that doesn’t scare the hell out of you, it should. Does anyone remember when Trump first announced his campaign? How everyone laughed it off as a publicity stunt? Then, a year later, Trump won the Republican Party nomination.

This whole situation still feels like a bad dream to me. When I really remove myself from everything and take a

step back, the election is rather humorous.

I mean, get this: We elected a president who has said he wants to ban all Muslims from the country. We elected a president who wants to build a wall separating the United States from Mexico. We elected a president who says he grabs women by their genitalia.

This can’t be real. Yet, there is actual documentation of all of this. It really happened.

Or, perhaps I’m in a coma and this is all in my head, and I’ll wake up one day to find all of this was a figment of my imagination. That would be such

a relief.

I doubt this is the case, though. Therefore, I guess I have to go on the assumption that the election is real and Trump will become our president in 2017. Fine. I’ve accepted the election results, and I agree with the sentiment that we should give the man a chance in office before we completely condemn him.

However, I continually hear from students and professors — particularly my history professor — that Trump being president will not be nearly as big of a deal as many people are making it out to be. They say there have been controversial elections before, and this recent one is no different.

These people aren’t even pro-Trump, either.

For those of us who a r e n ’t p r o - Tr u m p , c a n

we please stop defending Trump? I mean, dear God, on Friday, The Independent reported on Trump and President Barack Obama’s private meeting in the White House.

According to the report, Obama’s staff members said Trump seemed awed by what he was being told and about to encounter in his upcoming presidency.

He doesn’t even know what he signed up for!

I know I wrote three columns ago that Trump’s presidency would not be the end of the world. I still stand by that, but we should approach this upcoming presidency with great caution.

This is the guy who ran his campaign with a lawyer who didn’t seem to care about death threats being sent to Megyn Kelly from Trump’s supporters, according to an ar-

ticle published on Slate.

Come on, it would take a complete idiot to not see Trump as even the smallest of threats.

Here we have president-elect Donald Trump set to take office this January. If that doesn’t scare the hell out of you, it should.

Need I give more examples of Trump’s irresponsibility? It is extremely apparent the man has some serious issues. So, let’s stop saying Trump isn’t going to be that bad.

If history is anything to go off, then yes, Trump’s presidency is absolutely

going to be bad. Maybe it won’t be the end of the world, but it certainly isn’t going to be pleasant.

And don’t get me started on Vice President-elect M i k e P e n c e . I f Tr u m p somehow gets taken out of power, it might actually be the end of the world.

My point is, let’s not sugarcoat the reality of this upcoming presidency.

If we make ourselves feel better by pretending there will be no serious consequences to Trump being president, we will become naïve to the things going on around us. With Trump taking office in January, we need to be more aware than ever about what’s going on in our government.

We couldn’t stop the devil from taking power, but we can stop him from acting. aolges@dailytoreador.com

COLUMN

Society intrinsically geared toward men E verything makes a little more sense now.

The other day, one of my professors relayed a brief synopsis of Laura Bush’s recent appearance on Tech’s campus.

She mentioned how Mrs. Bush talked about the fact that this is a man’s world.

Just wait, though. I’m not saying what you think I am.

I’m saying exactly what Bush pointed out. Most things are made for men.

Medical tools? Sized for men’s bones and muscles and organs.

Air conditioning? Selected for men’s body temperatures.

Seat belts? Approved with a higher safety rating for men.

With all of this said, it makes sense that women take longer to heal, are colder in their office buildings and are more injured in crashes.

How does that seem

Avery Aiken s a sophomore communication studies major from The Woodlands.

OK, though?

My mother went through a huge series of surgeries last year, and it burdens me to think her tiny self was operated on with medical instruments which might not have been sized for her body.

That explains why she was in such unnecessary pain and why she took longer than expected healing. There is nothing OK about that.

If my little sister were to get in a car accident, would she not be as protected by her seat belt as my brother would be?

In fact, according to a 2011 study conducted in the University of Virginia’s Center for Applied Biomechanics, female drivers

wearing seat belts had a 47 percent higher chance of serious injuries than male drivers wearing seat belts in comparable collisions.

Moreover, that difference was found to be 71 percent for moderate injuries.

And thinking about air conditioning, it makes sense that office temperatures are set in relation to what’s comfortable for 154-pound man, according to an article in The New York Times by Pam Belluck.

This ideal temperature algorithm, constructed in the 1960s, hardly even considered women’s body temperature averages.

Now, I didn’t know this a month ago. I didn’t know any of this a month ago, and I was living — as a woman — just fine.

My problem is all of this is actually happening. The world is forming itself around men and forgetting our sisters, daughters, friends, wives,

through advertising revenues generated by the student sales staff with free campus distribution resulting from student service fees.

With that mentality, there is no way we will be able to put into practice the equality so many men and women are fighting to instill.

When we intrinsically put the comfort of one sex above the other, there will always be an underlying sense of disproportionate importance between sexes.

Ironically, this same thing happens to men, as well.

However, the things they find proportionately inadequate are things that — more often than not — reinforce rather oppressive trends in women’s lives.

Think about bathr o o m s . Wo m e n ’s b a t h rooms are usually nicer.

Why are they nicer?

Because women need them nicer for primping and powdering.

And what about clean-

ing supplies? The whole Mrs. Meyer’s cleaning collection comes in various “feminine” fragrances — like lavender and lemon verbena — and is adorned in an array of pastel colors.

When we intrinsically put the comfort of one sex above the other, there will always be an underlying sense of disproportionate importance between sexes.

Not too masculine, right? Right. Because who will be cleaning? Probably a woman.

I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with a woman wanting to clean her home or that we should take up arms against the

STUDENT ORGANIZATION

Club brings video game fans together

By ARIANNA AVALLE Staff Writer

The Nintendo Appreciation Club is an organization that brings together video game amateurs with different skill levels and allows them to compete against each other, while sharing the same passion.

Bruce Archer, a junior biology and natural resources management dual major from Amarillo, serves as the president of the club. Archer said the idea of transforming a hobby into an organization came up while he was playing Nintendo games in Gordon Residence Hall lobby with some friends.

“I really like Nintendo because they made the games I played growing up,” Archer said. “Also, a lot of the games that this company makes are party games which are great to play with people sitting right next to you.”

During the meetings,

two TVs are usually set up, Archer said. One always plays “Super Smash Bros.” because that is the crowd’s favorite, while the second plays whatever the members prefer, usually “Mario Kart” or “Mario Party.”

Sabrina Relph, a junior biochemistry major form Amarillo, said she likes when the members get drawn into the game. During “Super Smash Bros.,” everyone gets loud and ends up cheering, yelling and laughing. “(Gaming) makes you forget about all the stress from your day, and you just get to laugh and have fun,” Relph said.

Barak Wittlake, a sophomore chemical engineering major from Amarillo, said he met more than a few of his closest friends online in a gaming community before meeting them in person. The aspect he likes the most about this club is being surrounded by like-minded people, who

appreciate video games and are excited to play.

“My first experience was ‘Pokémon Yellow’ on my Game Boy Color, closely followed by ‘Super Smash Bros.

Melee’ on the GameCube,” Wittlake said. “I remember getting ‘Pokémon Yellow’ for my birthday right after my cousin got me a whole folder of new Pokémon cards. It was probably this birthday that started my love of Pokémon.”

Gender-bias related to video games is usually not a big issue, Relph said. Many of her friends are gamers, and when she does not understand a conversation, they are always willing to explain it to her and appreciate her interest and willingness to learn about the topic.

The stereotype that men are better than women at playing video games is not true, Wittlake said, and one of his female friends is such a talented player in “Mario

all the way back to the inception of Tech.

Carol of Lights and the ornaments celebrate the holiday season, Whitfield said.

The ornaments help pass on Tech traditions.

“My favorite part is working with the photos,” Whitfield said.

Whitfield said she handpicked the photos in the exhibit. She chose ones that would best compliment the

ornaments and the symbol the ornaments honor.

Her favorite ornament is the one that honors the “Matador Song” Whitfield said. The “Matador Song” is sung at every graduation ceremony before everyone officially graduates and throws the hats up.

Whitfield works the graduation ceremonies and feels the “Matador Song” is sentimental.

“The whole point of the university is to graduate stu-

Kart” that he feels scared to play against her.

The club has been planning a tournament open to the public, but the event is still a work in progress, Ar-

cher said.

The Nintendo Appreciation Club is open to all videogame lovers and no previous experience is required. The meetings are hosted in the

dents,” Whitfield said. “When we sing the ‘Matador Song,’ it’s not just the students and faculty singing. It’s the multiple generations above singing it.”

The “Matador Song” ornament is accompanied by a photo of a Tech graduation with all the graduates holding their Guns Up and the lyrics to the song running across the banner in the United Supermarkets Arena.

Whitfield said she took the photograph herself.

“Everyone is in a good mood this time of year,” she said. “Everyone is excited for Carol of Lights and the holidays. I think it (the exhibit) just brightens everyone’s day.”

The ornament tradition continues today. One can find the 2016 ornament and the past ornaments at www. ornaments.ttu.edu.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Film shows ‘Hamilton’ actor: ‘There’s nothing to apologize for’ recovery for Boston Marathon survivor BOSTON (AP) — A new documentary about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings chronicles the long road to recovery for many of the survivors still struggling with physical and emotional wounds.

“Marathon: The Patriots Day Bombing” focuses on the stories of three families who had all been spectators near the finish line when two pressure cooker bombs detonated: a young newlywed couple, a mother and daughter and two brothers.

The nearly two-hour film, which had its Boston premiere last week, airs on Monday on HBO. Filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg say they set out to give an unflinching look at the ups and downs of long-term recovery from the attack, which killed three people and injured nearly 300 others.

“We felt a huge responsibility to tell a broad picture of the survivors’ story,” said Stern.

“Many of the survivors feel this global relationship with other survivors of terrorist attacks. That if there’s some way their recovery can help others going through something similar, they want to do it.”

NEW YORK (AP) — If Donald Trump is waiting for an apology from the cast of “Hamilton,” he will have to continue to wait.

Actor Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr in the celebrated musical, told “CBS This Morning” on Monday that “there’s noth-

ing to apologize for.” Dixon gave Vice President-elect Mike Pence an onstage earful about equality at the end of Friday’s performance.

Trump has taken to Twitter several times to demand an apology. Pence on Sunday said he wasn’t offended by the message.

Dixon said “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda had a hand in crafting Dixon’s remarks, although Dixon said he “made some adjustments.”

Dixon said that both Trump and Pence are welcome to come backstage and meet with the cast at any time, adding, “Art is meant

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “I think I obviously overestimated how we’d develop, how we’d come along,” Kingsbury said. “I felt like the pieces were in place. There’s been some attrition, but every team has that. So, that’s not the answer. But, yeah, I still think it’s a talented team.

We just haven’t closed out the games we had an opportunity to win. Obviously, last Saturday was as bad as it gets. I’m not sure where that came from.”

For the seniors, Baylor will be their final game as Red Raiders. For the team, it is about sending off the seniors with a win and finishing off the season on a positive note, junior receiver Dylan Cantrell said.

The team will attack during practice this week t o p r e p a r e f o r B a y l o r,

Cantrell said.

“We realize that this is our last game, our last week of football this year,” he said. “So, I hate it for the seniors, we’re a really close team. Definitely wanted to play another month with them, but we’re just going to attack this week. We know it’s the last week, the last game, and hopefully, we’ll come out with a win.”

During the news conference, Mahomes talked about senior offensive lineman Baylen Brown.

Brown is from San Antonio and went to O’Connor High School before he came to Tech in 2012.

Brown played in 11 games in 2013 with three starts that season.

In 2015, Brown came back from an injury a g a i n s t We s t Vi r g i n i a and started against LSU in the AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl.

“He’s a true team play-

SPORTS er. He’s been banged-up throughout his career, but he’s always out there,” Mahomes said. “He’s always giving it all he has.

Like you said, he’ll move around. He’s played left guard, right guard, center, tackles, both tackles. He’ll move around and play whatever is the best for the team. You love players like that and want to play with people like that.”

With the bowl game out of the question, Coutee said the team just has to play its hardest.

In addition to the graduating seniors, it is also possible that some nonseniors will go up for the NFL draft. Sophomore Paul Stawarz said Kingsb u r y ’s m e s s a g e t o t h e team was to play the hardest for the seniors to send them out the right way.

“We just want to send the seniors out the right way,” Coutee said. “This is their last time they’re go-

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Dean announces departure from Lady Raider program, plans to transfer Sophomore point guard Japreece Dean announced Monday via Twitter that she will no longer be a member of the Texas tech Lady Raider basketball team and will transfer.

“I would like to take the opportunity to thank the staff of Texas Tech University and the AWESOME fans who supported me throughout my freshman year,” Dean said via

Twitter. “With deep thought and consideration, I have decided to transfer to another University. I want to thank my teammates for being there for me and for all the great laughs.

I love you guys! I plan on finding the University that best fits me to further my education and to become the best player that I can be. Thank you again to Texas Tech University and head coach Candi Whitaker and her staff.”

No comment was made regarding Japreece Dean’s departure from the women’s basketball program, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

In her 2015 season as a freshman, Dean was second in scoring for Tech with 12.5 points per game and led the Lady Raiders

in assists with 3.3 per game.

This season, Dean appeared in an exhibition match against Midwestern State and the season home opener against North Dakota.

In her season debut against the Lady Mustangs, Dean scored 21 points, shooting 7-10 from the floor and an efficient 4-5 from downtown to help grab the win, 121-56.

In that game, Dean led the team in scoring and was three assists short of a double-double with seven assists.

Defensively, Dean was able to come up with two steals against MSU. Dean dropped 11 points and three assists in the game against the North Dakota Lady Hawks to help secure
