KAPPA DELTA SORORITY HOSTS FIRST ANNUAL POLAR PLUNGE

By MALLORY BARNETT

S

Staff Writer

aturday morning saw crisp temperatures for Kappa Delta’s Polar Plunge and 5K at Buffalo Springs Lake, and the events were hosted to raise awareness for child abuse.

Rachel Ruhman, president of Kappa Delta, said this is the sorority’s first year to host a Polar Plunge event and the money raised from the event will be donated to help stop child abuse.

“This is our first year to have a Polar Plunge and 5K,” she said.

“We’re raising money for the Children’s Advocacy Center and Prevent Child Abuse in America.

Eighty percent of the money stays

here that we’re raising. We’re trying to do something off campus so more of the community can get more involved.”

Local cross-country teams and friends of the sorority members came out to the event.

Ruhman said her favorite part about the event was the turnout the sorority got during the event.

“We have been planning this for a while, so seeing everyone show up and sign in has been really fun,” she said. “It will be very interesting to see people actually plunge into the lake because it’s so cold out today, but I think it’s going to be a really good event.

We’ve had a pretty good turnout so far.”

CHEMISTRY

Chemistry department uses new learning system for students

By EASTON WOLLNEY Staff Writer

Last fall, Texas Tech’s chemistry department started using MindTap, an interactive learning system, for students taking general chemistry online.

Greg Gellene, a chemistry professor at Tech, said MindTap is an electronic content delivery platform produced by Cengage that some online sections of general chemistry at Tech are now using.

“The MindTap concept is that the textbook is integrative,” Gellene said.

With MindTap, he said students are able to read a few paragraphs and then work through a

simulation that is recorded into the gradebook.

Instead of listening to a professor lecture for 50 to 80 minutes, Gellene said, students are able to receive a bit of information at a time, then work through concepts.

“It very much gets the students to read the textbook in a forward way,” Gellene said. “Many, many students use textbooks in reverse, as a last resort.”

Tech currently has about 180 students taking general chemistry online, he said, and are using MindTap as the course textbook.

Unsuccessful rates for courses include students who drop or do not pass the course, Gellene said, and last fall Tech saw online stu-

dents have an unsuccessful rate of 16 percent, while those in the classroom had a rate of 42 percent.

“The difference here is it seamlessly flows,” Gellene said.

MindTap is able to engage students, he said, and students complete a master assignment after three or four smaller assignments.

MindTap offers a variety of subjects, Gellene said, but Tech is currently only using it for chemistry.

Chloe Ryan, the public relations manager for Cengage, said MindTap incorporates reading, homework and quizzing as well as multimedia assets, and MindTap mobile launched last summer.

Tech dominates Southeastern Louisiana for second win of season

By QUINTIN MARQUEZ Staff Writer

The Lady Raiders took on Southeastern Louisiana in the United Supermarkets Arena in their second game of the season Saturday night.

The contest ended as a 113-51 Texas Tech victory and a 2-0 start to the season for the Lady Raiders.

Tech is coming off a two-game win streak beating Eastern New Mexico in an exhibition game and Niagara in the first game of the season.

Tech started the first quarter shooting lights out behind starting guards Rayven Brooks and Ryann Bowser, going 4 of 4 from behind the arc.

Tech coach Candi Whitaker said

she liked the way her players shot the ball and the tempo they kept throughout the entire game.

“We had clean rebounds and outlets that led to fast breaks,” she said. “We worked the ball really well and found open spaces.”

Going into the half, Tech had a commanding 57-29 lead shooting 73.9 percent for field goals and 71.4 from beyond the arc.

This is the most points Tech has scored since 2004 in a regular season game, according to the Tech Athletics website.

So far this season, the Lady Raiders offense is averaging 96 points per game, which Bowser said is the result of contribution from everyone involved.

“We had a lot of scorers tonight,

a lot of people can put it on the floor and the motion offense fits with us,” Bowser said.

Even with the offense firing on all cylinders, junior guard Ivonne CookTaylor said the defense was still a big part of this win.

“We have a really good defensive coach, and we basically follow our defensive rules,” CookTaylor said.

Whitaker said she does not know if her team can score like they did Saturday every game, but this team has the ability to make shots.

The important thing for the team to focus on is defense and rebounding, she said, because those are the things her players can control night in and night out.

Tech hosts health mini-conference

By SHASHIDHAR SASTRY Staff Writer

The College of Education and the Department of Counselor Education hosted the 2015 student-led mini-conference on American mental health on Saturday in Holden Hall. Organized by the 2015 Counselor Education Cohort, the event featured speakers from West Texas who addressed contemporary issues in social justice.

Presentation topics at the event included STD/STI education, ethics in sex therapy and improving teen sexual

health, among others. The conference was titled Leading a Revolution in American Mental Health: Combating STIs, HIV/AIDS, Teenage Pregnancy and Addressing the Cultural Dimensions of Sexual Health. “(Sexual health) is the topic that’s hard to talk about, that people don’t want to talk about, and that’s kind of what we are doing — breaking those boundaries, breaking those barriers and saying, ‘OK, this is something that’s important,’” Sarah Dingus, marketing chair for the conference, said.

Dingus is also a doctoral student in the College of Education’s Counselor Education program. The conference was organized by the 17 first-year Ph.D. students in the Counselor Education program as part of their class on advanced diversity in social justice, Dingus said.

Event attendees included Tech faculty, students, Lubbock community members and counselors seeking continuing education units.

CEUs are a requirement for licensed professionals to maintain their license.

The conference presented an opportunity for such professionals to earn the required CEUs, Dingus said.

The keynote speaker at the conference was Jennifer Shewmaker, associate professor of psychology at Abilene Christian University and author of “Sexualized Media Messages and Our Children: Teaching Kids to be Smart Critics and Consumers.”

Shewmaker’s presentation focused on the evolution of sexualized media, how sexualized media affects sexual behavior in children as well as adolescents and how to build sexual self-efficacy.

Ashley Blu Lavalle and Lisa Pearson, doctoral students in the Counselor Education program, gave a presentation on ethics in sex therapy.

that’s so sensitive and (one) that often gets missed in the counseling room,” Lavalle said. “I got a good feedback, people asked a lot of questions. So, it really felt like it made an impact.”

Aretha Marbley, professor of counselor education in the College of Education, said the 2015 conference was the third such conference hosted by the college. This conference is a way for the college to connect its framework of

revolutionizing American education with revolutionizing American mental health.

“Our conference is what we call a multicultural, social justice, advocacy leadership conference,” Marbley said.

“The idea is, ‘How can we give back?’”

The conference was probono. The students fundraised for the conference and made it happen, Marbley said. It was a way of giving back to the community.

The evaluations from previous conferences were indicative of their successes, she said. Some attendees even evaluated it to be their best conference so far.

“It has been so amazing to watch (the students) to be able to pull that off and do an extremely good job,” Marbley said. “Hats off to them and to my colleagues and to our dean in the College of Education and the support from our sponsors.”

Cengage has student ambassadors and advertising on college campuses as well as a social media presence and student engagement, including research

programs, she said, to promote MindTap to students, staff and faculty.

Technology and education teams worked together when creating MindTap, Ryan said, to listen to the needs of students and un-

derstand how they learn.

MindTap mobile offers flashcards, quizzes, messaging with instructors and course notifications, Ryan said. It is a tool for retention and digital learning.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cruz seeks to cast himself as the electable conservative SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Ted Cruz is among the most hated men in Washington, reviled by leaders of both parties as an ideological hard-liner loyal only to the far-right of the conservative movement.

But racing down an Iowa highway on a snowy weekend morning, a solemn Cruz suggested some of his Republican rivals for president have amped up their rhetoric too much — especially on policy toward people who are in the U.S. illegally.

“Tone matters,” Cruz, the son of a Cuban immigrant, told The Associated Press in an interview between campaign stops. “Are there some in the Republican Party whose rhetoric is unhelpful with regard to immigration? Yes.” Donald Trump’s call for a database to track Muslims in the U.S. is one example, Cruz says. But he refused to condemn the rhetoric of another Republican who could help him win Iowa’s leadoff caucuses, Rep. Steve King, the influential conservative who has described immigrants living in the country illegally as disease-ridden — and spent the weekend campaigning at Cruz’s side.

“I cannot help the language that others use,” Cruz said in the interview. “I can only help the words that come out of my own mouth.”

Taken together, they are remarkable statements for a conservative firebrand who rarely, if ever, shows signs of moderation.

Yet in the crowded and unruly 2016 Republican primary, Cruz

is trying to position himself as the grown-up alternative to Trump and Ben Carson, two inexperienced and undisciplined front-runners who have so far captivated their party’s most passionate voters by riding a wave of anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Carson’s support appears to be softening, and Trump is struggling to explain with precision his exact plans for increasing surveillance of potential threats in the wake of the Paris attacks. At the same time, Cruz is ramping up his pitch and trying to cast himself not just as an outsider — but an electable outsider at a time of widespread mistrust of Washington.

“I do not believe either one of them is going to be the nominee,” Cruz told the AP about Carson and Trump. “I am working very hard to win every one of their supporters.”

Cruz spoke to AP at the end of a week in which Carson, who previously said he wouldn’t support a Muslim president, likened dealing with some Syrian refugees to the handling of “rabid dogs” and said he would support government monitoring of any group deemed radical and “anti-American.”

Having described Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals in his announcement speech, Trump this week said he would “absolutely” support a mandatory database to track Muslims in the U.S. He later said he wanted a “watch list” for Syrian refugees and “surveillance of certain mosques.”

when walking-circus-show Donald Trump suggests entering American Muslims into a national database and conducting warrantless searches of mosques. It seems the Bill of Rights is no more valuable to Trump than toilet paper, and how anyone can support this buffoon is beyond my comprehension.

As for the refugees who seek entrance into the U.S., we must proceed carefully. We cannot just admit them without being 100 percent sure each and every one of them is truly a refugee, and there is significant disagreement as to whether that is possible.

President Barack Obama insists it is, as refugees go through “rigorous screening and security checks,” according to a Washington Post article. He also insists accepting the refugees is part of our national values, which is largely true.

However, FBI Director James Comey testified to Congress last month that it will be particularly difficult to compile background information on the refugees because records from war-torn Syria may be hard to come by, according to the article.

“If we don’t know much about somebody, there won’t be anything in our data,” Comey said, according to the article. “I can’t sit here and offer anybody an absolute assurance that there’s no risk associated with this.”

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said it was a concern that ISIS would get some operatives to infiltrate the refugee groups, according to the article. So with limited data being available from the mess that is Syria, it seems entirely plausible that an ISIS terrorist could sneak in with the refugees and get through the screening process.

Clearly, the vast majority of those seeking entrance into the U.S. are legitimate refugees who would do no harm to anyone, which is what makes this such a difficult situation. It seems heartless to turn these people away, but we cannot honestly say with 100

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

Jarrod Miller is The DT’s opinions editor and a senior French major from Lubbock.

In fact, according to a recent CATO Institute study, banning Syrian refugees may be just as absurd as blocking Canadians from entering. According to a Wednesday CATO report, “Of the 859,629 refugees admitted from 2001 onwards, only three have been convicted of planning terrorist attacks on targets outside of the United States, and none was successfully carried out.”

Instead of attempting to prevent these attacks by clamping down and rejecting refugees, the U.S. must battle ISIS by fighting the cycle that turns refugees and citizens into ISIS militants. According to a Tuesday Vice News article by Stephen O’Brien, the U.N. is warning nations that rejecting Syrian refugees will do nothing to help fight ISIS. In fact, many analysts say the rejection of these refugees could actually help ISIS. H a r l e e n G a m b h i r, a counterterrorism analyst, wrote in a Nov. 15 Washington Post column, “The strategy is explicit. The Islamic State explained after the January attacks on Charlie Hebdo magazine that such attacks ‘compel the Crusaders to actively destroy the gray zone themselves … Muslims in the West will quickly find themselves between one of two choices, they either apostatize … or they (emigrate) to the Islamic State and thereby escape persecution from the Crusader governments and citizens.’”

Unfortunately, the U.S. has a critical tendency to persecute and alienate minorities in times of war. In World War II, fear and anger led countless JapaneseAmericans to be harassed, though many Americans believed the persecution was in the nation’s best interest.

Earl Warren, then-attorney general of California, told Washington, “Opinion among law enforcement officers in this state is that there is more potential danger among the group of Japanese who were born in

this country than from the alien Japanese,” according to William Manchester ’s, “The Glory and the Dream: A Narrative History of America, 1932-1972.”

Though Warren’s statement may have been false, it certainly was popular.

Manchester writes that insurance companies began to cancel Japanese-American insurance policies, milkmen refused to deliver their milk, grocers refused to sell them groceries and bankers declined to cash their checks. From barbershop windows hung signs that read things like, “Japs shaved. Not responsible for accidents.” In times of war, the American public can be experts in alienation.

While the U.S. society continues to justify rejecting refugees by labeling them as a threat (Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller recently compared the refugees to venomous rattlesnakes, according to a Thursday Texas Tribune article), in reality, the U.S. is rejecting countless innocent men, women and children who wish to escape persecution.

According to a March 2015 National Geographic article, the U.N. estimated that among Syrian refugees in Turkey, women and children make about 75 percent of the refugee population.

These women and children become doomed wanderers, fading into urban slums, crowded camps, brothels and countless lean-tos.

In a 2013 report by Michael Goldfarb of Doctors Without Borders, Goldfarb said in Lebanon, hundreds of thousands of refugees were in substandard housing structures, without access to proper health care, impoverished and were in the process of preparing for a cold winter.

These refugees are not terrorists, extremists nor radicals. By rejecting them, we confine them to war-torn countries where ISIS will try and recruit them. Hopefully, soon U.S. governors will realize rejecting refugees only creates more misery for refugees and helps ISIS. To truly combat ISIS, we should accept the refugees and give them opportunity to grow. jmiller@dailytoreador.com

Children learn about health during event

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

The Pediatric Club of the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center had an idea to host a children’s health fair, and that idea became a reality.

The health fair took place from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday in the United Supermarkets Arena.

The fair was free and was open in between the Tech volleyball game and the women’s basketball game. The Pediatric Club and Tech Athletics hosted the event, Mary Thornhill, a medical student from Colorado and president of the Pediatric Club, said.

Even though the group hosts events similar to this every year, Thornhill said she felt this year there was a need to get more exposure for the club and its community outreach.

“I played basketball here, I played for coach (Kristy) Curry when she was here, so my heart’s always with the athletics department,” she said. “And (I’m) a strong believer in doing prevention as far as medicine, that’s so important, diet and exercise, and that’s really what we want to get across here today.”

The event was focused on children, Thornhill said, but it incorporated some things for adults such as flu shots and blood pressure checks while the children were doing various activities.

There were also various vendors from different health organizations in Lubbock to give information on Medicare and other health plans and resources available in the area.

There were six stations for the kids to have fun, and the point of the eve-

ning was to incorporate athletics and fun into everyday exercise, Thornhill said. Activities like bounce houses and indoor soccer were part of the night, and the children were taken through all six stations.

“The purpose really is to teach kids how to be h e a l t h y, h o w t o l i v e a healthy lifestyle and how to form healthy habits and kind of why it’s important,” she said, “and on top of that to have fun, so that’s why we did the sports centered (activities) — to teach them a sport, teach them a game.”

The members of the Pediatric Club want to change the children’s lives for the future and teach them how they can achieve a healthy lifestyle through exercise and proper diet, she said.

Without paying attention to diet, it can be easy for both parents and children to fall into a sedentary lifestyle, Thornhill said, but tweaking everyday activities can make a big difference.

Prevention is an important issue people need to be aware of, she said, and with the high rate of obesity among youths in the country, it can be very concerning, especially for those who plan on going into the medical field.

The Health Sciences Center’s Barbershop Health Check offered free blood pressure readings and discussed the issues of hypertension and diabetes with adults, Vivien Ingram, a second-year medical student from Mesquite and leader of the group, said.

The group normally goes to barbershops in Lubbock and offers the same services to people while they are getting a haircut, she said, and members decided to donate their time at the

fair over the weekend.

“Especially with hypertension a lot of people are walking around with high blood pressure, (and) they don’t know it until they have a heart attack,” Ingram said. “So something like this where kids can get involved and parents can get just a quick health check while their kids are playing around is super important.”

This can also help the family as a whole, she said, because if the parents know they have a problem and fix it then that sets a good example for the children who are presumably taking note.

The group also had a station focused on healthy eating with the goal of informing attendees to incorporate healthy eating into their diets, Ingram said.

“The whole family as a unit makes decisions together and if they see each other trying to get healthy, then the rest of the family will benefit as well,” Ingram said.

It takes work to achieve this, and being a health professional, she said she knows how easy it can be to fall into unhealthy habits, but if the entirety of the family wants to be healthy, then it is worth the effort to keep one’s health in mind.

The fair also had booths set up throughout the halls of the arena that were handing out resources for a variety of topics from healthy eating to help available organizations.

Veronica Lopez, community outreach coordinator for the HSC Garrison Institute on Aging, was handing out healthy eating guides with menus from different restaurants with calorie counts and portion

Parisians voice defiance week after ISIS attacks PARIS (AP) — A week after their city was shaken to the core by a bloody series of attacks, Parisians turned out in their thousands Friday to pay tribute to the dead and express defiance at those who would try to challenge the French way of life.

Many placed candles among the flowers stacked outside the Paris attack sites, while others held hands and reflected on their city’s losses. Some chose to sing and dance, raising their glasses to the victims who one week earlier had been enjoying a Friday night out when the attackers struck.

With France under a state of emergency, most demonstrations and large gatherings have been

banned in Paris since the Nov. 13 attacks. A gathering at France’s oldest m o s q u e t o s h o w i n t e rcommunity solidarity was canceled Friday because of security fears.

But Parisians spontaneously came together outside the restaurants, cafes and concert hall hit in the attacks — as they have all week — to leave flowers, light candles or hold quiet vigils.

“I’m still reeling, because these are the neighborhoods where we young people go out a lot, places we know well,” said student Sophie Garcon as she looked at tributes left outside the Le Carillon bar, where gunmen sprayed automatic weapons fire.

In all, 130 people died

and more than 350 were injured when gunmen and suicide bombers attacked cafes and restaurants in Paris and the national soccer stadium. The attacks, claimed by the Islamic State group, were the deadliest violence in decades and have left the city profoundly shaken.

The army has deployed 6,500 soldiers to the Paris region to help protect streets, train stations and landmark tourist sites like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum.

“There’s a feeling of insecurity, even though there are police everywhere,” Garcon said. “In France, we have a tendency to think that we’re not a country at war because there’s not a war on our territory.”

size information.

“For each restaurant, we kind of just broke it down for them to know that there are restaurants that have healthy options for (the kids),” Lopez said.

It also helps the kids get through to their parents and tell them what is good and what is bordering harmful, she said. For the HSC, the importance of this type of community outreach is to prevent any type of chronic disease and direct children toward a path of healthy lifestyles.

Te a c h i n g k i d s h o w a fun hobby like sports can benefit into their overall health is a good learning experience, Thornhill said.

“Hopefully we teach them something fun today, (and) they’ll want to go home and say, ‘Hey mom, I want to go dribble the basketball like I learned out there,’ or, ‘ I want to go play soccer,’” she said. “Or maybe, ‘Hey mom, let’s make that cool snack we learned (to make) at the health fair.’” @MichaelCantuDT

CAMPUS

Student creates magazine to showcase others

By MALLORY BARNETT Staff Writer

Texas Tech students have differing cultures and interests, and one student is aiming to showcase them all with his new campus publication, Passions Magazine.

Justin Palacios, a junior public relations major from Austin, said he began his journey when he noticed numerous ideas on campus not being expressed.

“I see all these beautiful things happening on the Tech campus that don’t become known,” he said. “I wanted to write an editorial for a student organization on the Tech campus, and I could not find an outlet to publicize it.”

While the magazine is still in its infancy, Palacios said he has large goals for the publication.

“Our goal for this urban

magazine is to showcase our student body’s passions, which could be in fashion, art, beauty, health, music, politics — really anything,” he said. “We want to show how diverse we are as a campus. We are also going to feature students on the covers and give multiple awards out like ‘Passions Student of the Year,’ ‘Passions Alumni Award,’ even simple ones like ‘Passions Blogger.’”

With a magazine publication showcasing the passions of any student, Palacios said he expects there to be a number of benefits — both tangible and intangible.

“The tangible benefits for Passions Magazine are simply the magazine,” he said. “This magazine will provide many sources to be informed by other colleges and organizations. The intangible benefits of Passions Magazine include the creation and promotion

of a more diverse, interconnected campus for Texas Tech University by providing a platform for freelance editorials through an urban magazine that strives on creative passions.”

Passions Magazine is still in the process of recruiting editors-in-chief for each section. However, Mari Robles, a junior agricultural communications major, has already been named the editor-in-chief for the health and wellness section.

“I am a sponsored Xcel Sports Nutrition athlete that competes in bodybuilding competitions in the figure division, and it all started when I was just a senior in high school,” Robles said.

“Fast forward to my junior year at Texas Tech, I have since competed in three national qualifying shows never placing below top five, and winning the Figure Overall at

Polish protest over play leads to arrests and is based on the “Princess Dramas: Death and the Maiden I-V” by the Nobel Prize-winning Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek.

That is a different work from the better known “Death and the Maiden” by Chilean writer Ariel Dorfman, which was made into a movie starring Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley.

The protesters in Poland objected to the presence on the stage of porn stars and sexually explicit scenes.

The government’s new culture minister, Piotr Glinski, called for the show to be canceled before its premiere on Saturday, noting the theater is sponsored by the state budget.

It’s never too late to take control of your life.”

Palacios said the support garnered by the magazine already has been positive and he is confident in the research conducted in order to make Passions Magazine effective.

“We have done tons of research and conducted interviews and surveys to understand what Tech students need on campus,” he said. “We hope to promote a more diverse campus. ‘From here, it’s possible’ is Texas Tech’s slogan, and we want to provide possibilities for every student.”

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Authorities have arrested 12 people who tried to block the entrance to a theater performance in Poland they deemed pornographic.

The case highlights the cultural conflict that is already brewing between secular Polish society and a new conservative pro-Catholic government that took power last Monday.

Scuffles broke out late Saturday in Wroclaw when members of a Catholic organization tried to stop theatergoers from seeing “Death and the Maiden.” The Polski Theater in Wroclaw says on its website that the play explores the relationship between torturer and victim

Robles said she was introduced to the magazine when Palacios approached her after class one afternoon and asked her to write for a nutrition column.

“I was flattered of course, but I was immediately drawn to their concepts and views for the magazine,” she said. “It has been a dream of mine to write for Muscle and Fitness Hers, Oxygen or Muscular Development magazines, and I saw this as a perfect chance to not only be a part of an amazing publication, but as an opportunity to market myself, my capabilities and to share my passion for fitness and the fitness industry.”

Robles said she hopes to inspire others to live a healthy lifestyle through writing for Passions Magazine.

Amanda Conrad, a special education major from Houston, said she enjoyed the company of her sorority sisters joining together for a cause.

“It’s been really cool to see all of our sorority sisters all together supporting our philanthropy,” she said.

Many people participated in the 5K, and there was someone who ran dressed in a full polar bear costume and a tutu.

Palak Ghetiya, a sophomore nutrition major from Keller, said the Polar Plunge is important to her because it is the sorority’s chance to create an annual event that involves the community.

“It’s actually the first time that we’re doing this event,

so it’s been really cool to see everyone come together,” she said. “There’s been a lot of planning that went into it, and it’s really cool to finally see it all coming together. It’s a fun, new way to help out our philanthropy, and it’s a better way to get our community involved.”

Amelia Guillen, a freshman kinesiology major from Amarillo, said the event gave her a great experience for her first year in a sorority.

“Since I’m a freshman and just joined, it’s been really cool to see what a big event can do and how much money we actually raised for the philanthropy,” she said. “It was just really cool to see it all happen, because during rush we were all talking about everybody’s perspective on it,

but actually being able to be a part of it is so much better.”

McKenzi Smithey, a junior biology major from Amarillo, said this event was a wonderful way to wrap up the events she has participated in with this sorority.

“I’m a junior, so this is my last, what we call a Shamrock event, to raise money for our philanthropy, so it’s a little bittersweet because I’ve been to all of the other events to raise money, and this one is so different that it makes me feel we’re having a large event for the community,” she said. “This way, they do get to interact instead of just donating money. This event is very close to my heart and I’m very proud of all the girls involved.” @MalBarnettDT

DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas native studying the role of women in the English Reformation has won a prestigious Rhodes scholarship, joining 31 other students who will study at Oxford University.

Laura Roberts of Duke University was announced as a Rhodes recipient Sunday.

Roberts has researched the religious roles of women during the 16th-century English Reformation, when the Church of England broke

from the Catholic Church.

Roberts told The Associated Press she studied the Reformation as a college freshman and quickly became interested in England.

Her writing on the nuns of one British abbey was published by the Cornell Historical Society this year.

She said she found surprising examples of nuns shaping British culture and serving in leadership roles during a time of cultural upheaval.

Johnson making impact as freshman

By BRANDON SOLIZ Staff Writer

Throughout the 2015 season, some of the younger Texas Tech Red Raiders saw playing time, especially on the defensive side of the ball, and some of them have even become starters.

One of those younger players is redshirt freshman safety Jah’Shawn Johnson.

“Jah’Shawn is a guy that’s going to make a play anytime, anywhere,” senior defensive lineman Pete Robertson said.

“He’s a straight athlete and ever since he came (to Tech) he’s come a long way.”

Johnson hauled in his second game-securing interception on the season against the Kansas State Wildcats in Tech’s last game, with his first coming against the Wildcats’ in-state rival, the Kansas Jayhawks.

Tech junior defensive back Keenon Ward said Johnson is a special player and he and defensive coordinator David Gibbs find a way to get Johnson around the ball.

“Coach Gibbs and our scheme puts him in the right place at the right time,” Ward said. “With

Tech volleyball drops final home game

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

The Texas Tech volleyball team dropped its final home match of the season 3-1 in a closely disputed matchup against the Iowa State Cyclones Saturday afternoon in the United Supermarkets Arena.

For outside hitters Jenna Allen and Meghan Stacy, middle blocker Brianna Grant and libero Carlie Foust, Tech’s final home game marked their last game as Red Raiders on their home court.

Coach Don Flora said Tech’s four departing seniors helped create an identity they want future teams to carry.

“They’ve left this program better than they found it,” Flora said. “We’re playing a lot more volleyball then we did four years ago

when they arrived so that’s a plus to them.”

Tech dropped the first set 26-24 in a strong defensive showcase by both teams.

The Cyclones did not allow the Red Raiders more than a three-point lead for the majority of the match.

Freshman outside hitter Sarah Redding gave the Red Raiders the lead with a kill to put Tech up 20-19 before both teams shared a pair of attacking errors.

Iowa State closed out the set with a 5-1 streak to win the set.

Flora said the Cyclones knew how to handle the game to favor their side.

“I think this game came down to the quality of pass,” he said. “I think that was a little bit of a difference, I think their passing was just a little more quality tonight than ours.”

Despite an early 4-0

run by the Cyclones at the start of the second set, Tech climbed out of the early deficit but lost the set in similar fashion to the first.

Junior setter Marguerite Grubb said Iowa State’s offense executed the plays it needed to pull away with the win.

Tech came within one point of winning the second set, but a three-point run from the Cyclones gave them a 2-0 match lead going into halftime.

“They just got a couple of extra kills they needed,” Grubb said. “At a level of play like this, it’s just really small little differences that can change the game up.”

Coming out of halftime, the Red Raiders began the third set by outscoring the Cyclones 9-4.

The Cyclones, however, quickly recovered from their early slip and came close

“I think it just shows our fight,” Grubb said. “Even though our season is coming to an end, I think we can even take that into next season and just know we can do it and really play with anyone.”

Stacy and Allen finished the match leading the Red Raiders in kills, as Stacy picked up 20 kills, a career high, and Allen added 17.

As the set came down the stretch, the Cyclones and Tech kept the point exchange going until Stacy pulled two clutch kills to give Tech the momentum it needed to finally close out the set with a kill from Allen.

Early in the fourth set, Iowa State went on a 3-0 run to tie the set at six points each.

Iowa State began to gain the upper hand once it gained a 13-17 lead off a 4-1 run.

Before the 2015 season, Johnson recorded four tackles in five games he played during the 2014 season before missing the next eight games because of injury.

Johnson was born in Waxahachie but moved to Ennis, according to Tech Athletics, where he attended high school.

He entered his senior year as a three-star prospect, according to ESPN. During his senior year, Johnson recorded 114 tackles, 11 pass breakups and seven interceptions, including two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Fumble recoveries are something Johnson has brought with him to Tech from high school, as he is currently tied for first place in fumbles recovered with four on the season.
