TECH HOSTS 58TH ANNUAL CAROL OF LIGHTS

By KIRBY WARNER

Staff Writer

undreds of students, staff, faculty and members of the Lubbock community gathered in the cold for one of Tech’s most prominent traditions.

The 58th Carol of Lights took place Friday when people gathered at Memorial Circle to start the holiday season and watch the holiday lights, which were strung on buildings across campus, turn on.

Canopies were set up near Memorial Circle, with people stationed to hand out hot chocolate and glow sticks to attendees.

At 7 p.m., the ceremony was opened with the Saddle Tramps Torchlight Processional. Members proceeded down a line through

the crowd toward the Physics and Geosciences building, where they placed down the flares they had been carrying.

Afterward, Tera Stines, president of the Residence Halls Association, began the ceremony with a speech. The speech detailed the history of Carol of Lights and how this tradition brings Tech students, faculty, staff and alumni together.

Through this speech, Stines revealed the theme of this year’s ceremony: Stars at Night, Raiders Shine Bright.

After this speech, the Combined Choirs sang “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” with the Trombone Choir led by James Decker, associate professor of trombone at the School of Music.

Rosen named interim law dean Graduate student organization hosts clothing drive Richard Rosen, director of the Center for Military Law and Policy, has been named the interim dean of the Texas Tech School of law, according to a Tech news release.

Rosen’s appointment will be effective Jan. 1. He will replace dean Darby Dickerson, who announced her resignation to assume the position of dean at the John Marshall Law School in Chicago, according to the release.

Rosen earned his bachelor’s degree from The Ohio State University in 1970 and later received his juris doctorate from the University of Miami in 1973, according to the release. He garnered a Master of Laws degree from the University of Virginia in 1987.

Rosen joined the Tech School of Law in 2003 after a 26-year career as an officer in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps. He teaches

classes in torts, constitutional law, military criminal law, national security law, human rights law and international humanitarian law, according to the ROSEN release. He is considered an expert in his field.

“Professor Rosen is an outstanding choice to lead the School of Law as interim dean,” Interim Provost Michael Galyean said in the release. “He is highly regarded by his colleagues in the school, which, combined with his superb record in teaching, scholarship and administration, made him the right choice for the position. I look forward to working with Rick as he fills this important role for the School of Law and the university.” @ReeceNationsDT

Beginning today, the College of Media & Communication Graduate Student Society will host its inaugural clothing drive to benefit veterans and their families around the Lubbock area.

The clothing drive will end at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Judson Meeks, president of the organization and a graduate student in mass communications, said.

For the drive, there will be only one collection point: near the advising center on the first floor of the College of Media & Communication, Meeks said.

“We would just like people to bring in whatever articles of clothing that they have that are warm that they don’t use anymore and would like to donate,” Meeks said.

“We are going to accept every piece

and accept every piece thankfully.”

Though the group is for graduate students all across campus, it is centralized in the College of Media & Communication to acknowledge the students’ donations and offer them an opportunity at prizes, Meeks said.

The group has received signed memorabilia from Tech football coach Kliff Kingsbury and Tech women’s basketball coach Candace Whitaker, he said. It has also received various promotional items from establishments across the university.

Individuals who donate clothing will receive raffle tickets, with the amount of tickets correlating to the type of clothing they bring, Meeks said. The organization will collect clothing from noon to 2 p.m. on all

three days, and the raffle will take place at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

“I think a lot of times with these bins, you go and drop it off, and that’s kind of the end of it,” Meeks said. “It’s nice to have a face to that donation to say, ‘Thank you for helping,’ because homeless veterans or homeless people in general, or just the less fortunate and those in need in general, (are thankful). Even though it’s a simple task like that, it’s very important and it deserves at least a ‘thank you.’” @MichaelCantuDT

SBS to implement credit card service fee After Dec. 12, students who are planning on paying their tuition with their credit cards should expect to pay a new service fee.

This mainly targets student tuition, which is why Student Business Services will implement this fee, Christine Blakney, managing director for SBS, said. The decision was made during a Board of Regents meeting in December 2015.

Since then, SBS has considered ways to communicate information about this fee before it goes into effect, she said.

“It’s a third-party process that charges the service fee and process the credit cards now, and so we were instrumental in the implantation of that third-party vendor,” Blakney said.

Corps block route of Dakota Access pipeline CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Sunday that it won’t grant an easement for the Dakota Access oil pipeline in southern North Dakota.

The decision is a victory for the several thousand camped near the construction site, who’ve said for months that the

four-state, $3.8 billion project would threaten a water source and cultural sites.

The pipeline is largely complete except for the now-blocked segment underneath Lake Oahe, a Missouri River reservoir. According to a news release, Assistant Secretary for Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy said her

decision was based on the need to “explore alternate routes” for the pipeline’s crossing.

“Although we have had continuing discussion and exchanges of new information with the Standing Rock Sioux and Dakota Access, it’s clear that there’s more work to do,” Darcy said. “The best way to complete that work responsibly and expeditiously is to explore alternate routes for the pipeline crossing.”

The company constructing the pipeline, Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, had said it was unwilling to reroute the project. It and the Morton County Sheriff’s Office, which has done much of the policing of the protests, didn’t have immediate comment.

There will be a $3 minimum fee, but overall, the fee will be 2 percent of any amount, she said.

This fee on credit cards was a long time coming, she said. Until this December, Texas Tech paid for the fees that credit card companies charge.

There was a substantial amount of money the university was paying, Blakney said.

“As more people chose to use credit cards to pay tuition and fee accounts, it became even more substantial over time,” Blakney said. “In the research we’ve done, most of our peer institutions charge a service fee.”

For consumers who used high-reward credit cards, the larger the processing card was the larger the fee was for the

university, Blakney said. University officials found many people paid student account balances with their credit cards mostly so they could get the rewards associated, similar to that of frequent flyer miles.

Because Tech did not charge fees, consumers had no downside in using whatever type of cards they wanted, she said. Therefore, this service fee will apply to all credit cards and no debit cards.

“For credit cards, we found that consumers were very savvy in using that to get that benefit,” Blakney said. “It basically did translate to an out-of-pocket cost to the university that we had to cover.”

As Tech continued to grow, the costs associated with the credit card companies

increased accordingly. This fee has been discussed for a long time, she said, but it was continually put on the back burner because it was a hard task to handle.

Now that it is going into effect, SBS has taken various steps to ensure students know of the increase, such as sending letters and emails and posting various signs around campus, Blakney said. The fee will be instated after Dec. 12, when the spring billing statements are issued.

“We will have a statement on those bills alerting consumers to the fact this is being implemented,” Blakney said. “Additionally, when you log onto your eBill, there will be a message window over to the left.” @MichaelCantuDT

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The death toll from a fire that tore through a warehouse hosting a late-night dance party jumped to 30 on Sunday as firefighters painstakingly combed through rubble for others believed to still be missing.

Only a fraction of the charred remains of the partly collapsed structure had been searched, and crews clearing debris were expected to find more bodies as they advanced, Alameda County Sheriff ’s Sgt. Ray Kelly said.

Anxious family members who feared the worst gathered at the sheriff’s office to await word on their loved ones. They were told they may have to provide DNA samples to help identify remains.

The building known as the “Ghost Ship” had been carved into artist studios and was an illegal home for a rotating cast of a dozen or more people, according to former denizens

who said it was a cluttered death trap with few exits, piles of wood and a mess of snaking electric cords.

“If you were going there for a party, you wouldn’t be aware of the maze that you have to go through to get out,” said Danielle Boudreaux, a former friend of the couple who ran the warehouse.

As many as 100 people were there for a party Friday night when the fire broke out just before midnight. Fire officials were still investigating the cause of the blaze, but they said clutter fueled the flames, there were no sprinklers inside and few exits to escape.

Boudreaux identified the operators of the Satya Yuga collective as Derick Ion Almena and Micah Allison. She had a falling out with Almena when she convinced Allison’s parents and sister about a year ago that the warehouse was a dangerous place for the couple’s three children to live.

Charity falls short without compassion I f hurt people hurt people, are helped people the ones who help people?

I wonder if everything really is that parallel. I think it might be.

H o w e v e r, w e a r e s o quick to forget that in order to be that helped, healed and whole person, we had to at one point be in need of help, in need of healing, far from whole.

This is so rapidly forgotten. We quickly disregard compassion, so it can be replaced with empty concern.

And while concern is wonderful, it is not the only thing our response to the misfortune of others should include.

When we are simply concerned for others, we are interested and intrigued in their situations but lack any significant emotional involvement in

how they feel.

We w a n t t o , f o r e x ample, buy a bagel for that homeless guy we pass on our way to work or to volunteer at the soup kitchen, feeding those who are out of work, or donate to an organization that helps feed children in an developing country.

We do this out of concern, concern that someone might be cold or concern that a child could be starving.

That is great. Wonderful, even. I’m not docking charity, I promise.

What I’m saying, however, is underneath our contribution, we feel pity.

And a lot of times, we

feel apathy. We minimize the misfortune of others by justifying it.

We r e a s o n t h e m a n slumping into the soup kitchen probably didn’t go to college. If he had, he probably wouldn’t have lost his job.

Or we explain to ourselves that the homeless man who spends his day on cold cement just shouldn’t have done all those drugs.

Isn’t it weird that we do this? We put our money and time and resources into helping those we feel — almost inexplicably — deserve whatever unfortunate circumstance they’re in.

I mean, it’s great that we still help. However, where’s the compassion charity once found itself synonymous with?

Don’t get me wrong;

I’ve thought these disconnecting thoughts.

Shoot, I’ve thought those things more often than I’d ever like to admit.

And I realized — just the other day —giving a dollar to a dude on the sidewalk means little if I do it with an apathetic heart, if I walk away thinking to myself that he probably deserves his hom el es s nes s , that he probably earned it.

Is that compassionate?

Here we are, feigning good-natured hearts when in reality our generosity only goes as far as our ability to empathize.

Our generosity serves primarily to boost our pride. It stems from thinking someone else is broken and we are squared away enough to help.

Instead of rejoicing in that truth and allowing

our hearts to break for the broken, we capitalized on the comparison that feeling concerned promises.

“I’m concerned for her.

She’s not doing well.” “His behavior is concerning.”

These statements are so constantly thrown around because if we can establish that someone else is worse off than we are, don’t we seem better off? It’s a twistedly fulfilling juxtaposition.

But, it shouldn’t be. We shouldn’t subject those who are more noticeably compromised than we are to the nourishment of our self-esteem.

Instead, we must remember at one time, we were in need. In fact, some part of us always will be.

Perhaps your health is compromised, or your family is estranged, or your career is crumbling.

We might be better off financially or emotionally or situationally than those we strive to help, but as we help, we can’t forget we’re all in need.

For Christ followers, that help constantly c o m e s f r o m a c o m p a ssionate God who sees our struggle and — instead of scoffing at it — receives it as his own burden.

He did that when he gave his son, so we could be pieced back together, not left in pieces. That is the example we get to live according to.

True generosity is not limply justifying someone’s circumstance for the sake of sympathetic separation.

It is giving to others while realizing the universality of hardship and the joy of compassion. aaiken@dailytoreador.com

Technological advances do not need to be feared

A

lbert Einstein is allegedly quoted as saying, “I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our humanity.

The world will only have a generation of idiots.”

While this quote reflects legitimate fears regarding the dependence of humanity on technology in the decision process, it does not fully account for the benefits that technology provides when it is being used appropriately.

Technology is beneficial to education when used in the school system because it provides access to an infinite amount of information.

It is an effective tool for research, and its interactive possibility catches interest

and causes creative growth.

Teachers are an essential component of society. Without teachers, the next generation of humans would not flourish and the intellectual growth of humanity would lull.

However, teachers are not perfect. They make mistakes and don’t know all the answers.

With the help of technology — specifically the use of the internet — teachers and students alike have access to reliable sources of information.

Sources like the internet

that cannot simply forget and know no natural limits.

Here, technology proves to not only be beneficial, but also essential in the learning process.

Students now have the ability to challenge what we’re taught, think for ourselves and consider ideas on a worldwide level because the information to do so is literally in the palms of our hands. Technology is efficient.

Consider this: Before computers, it took hours to find books for research papers.

To find a topic, we’d have to look through a stack of papers. To find an applicable book, we’d have to look through another stack of papers. Then, we’d have

to spend time looking for said books and eliminate the unhelpful ones.

The entire process was arduous and is now unnecessary. Because of online databases and library catalogs, this research process can be done quickly via the internet.

Thanks to summaries and reviews, it’s easier to figure out which books are applicable. Now, one can save time using technology instead of paper stacks to get a head start on studying.

Hence, technology proves to be helpful in the school system.

Finally, the interactive possibilities in technology are limitless. As long as the brain can come up with it, technology can live it out.

Here is the crux of the matter: The brain is essential for the growth of technology.

The growth of both goes hand in hand. Admittedly, the brain can become dependent on technology for stimulation, limiting the creative capability of the brain.

However, with correct use of technology, it can provide stimulation that requires mutual work from both the machine and the user. How could such an instrument not be considered an asset?

The issue then becomes the regulation of technology. What is the standard for correct use and who should enforce this standard?

While these are difficult

questions to answer, they are inevitable. Therefore, ignoring or avoiding these issues will prove disastrous in the long run.

People fear technology because they do not understand it. This is a common theme in the history of mankind.

However, if man holds to his morality and his dream of growth, peace and success, he has nothing to fear of technology.

We are the inventors and creators. We hold the control. So, what is the point of fearing or detesting technology? Is it to reject potential danger? Or is it a rejection of self? opinions@dailytoreador.com

Greek Life organizations give back to community

By SASCHEL MOORE Staff Writer

Greek Life organizations on college campuses across the nation possess their own values and standards that they uphold themselves to.

One common value that

most fraternities and sororities have is instilling the importance of giving back to the community in their members. Every fraternity and sorority at Texas Tech has a local philanthropy that it partners with to raise funds and awareness throughout

the South Plains, according to the Texas Tech Fraternity & Sorority Life website.

Alex DeRossi, vice president of finances on the Tech Greek Advisory Council and a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, said every fraternity shares the values of living well, giving back and continuing education. These values push the students to serve the community and encourage others to follow their example.

“If we were able to instill a sense of service into every human being that attended Texas Tech University, Lubbock would be a much better place,” DeRossi said. “If we could translate the Greek values of giving back, the world would be a better place, as well.”

In the spring, Sigma Phi Epsilon hosts a program called Seuss on the Loose, where the members buy books and read them in local elementary schools in the South Plains area, DeRossi said.

This program is hosted because Theodore Seuss Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss, is an alumnus of Sigma Phi Epsilon.

At the end of the program, the fraternity members donate the books and write a check, so the schools can expand their libraries.

During the Thanksgiving holiday season, the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority hosted a weeklong series of events called

This philanthropy consists of individuals more than the age of 21 who assist children going through the foster-care systems in the U.S., Natasha Ceasar, the community service and philanthropy director for Kappa Alpha Theta, said.

pretenses in the South Plains area alone.”

According to the CASA website, a child is 50 percent less likely to reenter foster care after he has been placed in a home. Kappa Alpha Theta chapters nationwide have partnered with CASA on national and local levels for the last 25 years.

Stines also introduced Karl Dent, an accomplished soloist and professor of voice and choral studies at Tech. After his introduction, Dent sang a rendition of “O Holy Night.”

The choir then sang other Christmas carols to get the crowd involved. As the brass blared, building up anticipation, the lights flashed on. The action was met with roaring approval from the audience, and the choir sang “Joy to the World” immediately after.

Livingston guides Tech to 85-84 win over Rice

By TOBIAS BASS Staff Writer

The Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Rice Owls played a close game Saturday afternoon in the United Supermarkets Arena that went down to the final seconds.

The audience was in full attendance with a total of 10,084 in the crowd.

Tech defeated Rice by a final score of 85-84, after a late run by the Red Raiders.

To start the game, both teams played an up-tempo style of play. Both teams scored back-and-forth in the first half.

The Owls stared off the game from the 3-point line led by guard Marcus Evans and forward Egor Koulechov.

Although the Red Raiders gave up several 3-pointers, Livingston kept them in the game in the first half with his 19 points.

“Anthony (Livingston) was on fire tonight,” junior forward Justin Gray said.

“We put the ball in his hands and let him go to work.”

At halftime, the Red Raiders led the Owls with a small lead, 34-31.

To start the second half, the Owls continued to shoot three ball at a high percent-

The Red Raiders showed good poise even though their chances did look good late in the game.

“Unbelievable heart,” Gray said. “Coach (Chris) Beard, in the previous timeouts, said we were going to win this game and making sure we had that look in our

eyes and make sure no one had any doubt. We gave ourselves a chance in adversity in the last couple minutes. If you do that enough, you will win your fair share.”

Saturday was Livingston’s birthday, and he finished with 33 points and seven rebounds to help Tech win a close game.

The victory over the Owls

gave Tech its 25th consecutive win over a nonconference opponent. The streak began in the 2013-14 season.

The Red Raider fans also aided the team to victory, Beard said.

More than 10,000 fans attended the game, marking the highest attendance for a nonconference game since 2011 when Tech played Cal State Bakersfield.

“First of all, I was really appreciative of the crowd. That’s the best crowd we’ve had this season,” Beard said. “It was just awesome. In college basketball, there’s a relationship between attendance and winning. I really don’t think we pull this out tonight if we have 2,000 or 3,000 people at the game. I’m very thankful to everybody who came tonight.

It starts with our students.

From where I was sitting, it looked like maybe our best student attendance of the year so far. I’m very, very appreciative of the home court advantage.”

The Red Raiders finished with 15 assists on 29 field goals and shot 20-23 from the free-throw line.
