STUDENT POPULATION ADDS TO LUBBOCK ECONOMY, DEVELOPMENT TO COME TO CITY

By MICHAEL CANTU News Editor

tudent population for Lubbock has, at least from Texas Tech’s view, continued to increase, which also makes a contribution to the Lubbock economy. This was a well-emphasized point during most of Mayor Dan Pope’s recent State of the City Address.

For the first time as mayor, Pope, a Tech alumnus, presented his State of the City Address to a large audience at noon Wednesday in the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center. Most of what he had to say gave a positive outlook on the state of the city and its relationship to education institutions in Lubbock.

Besides a 14 percent in-

crease in commercial buildings in the city of Lubbock, there is also a 34 percent increase in residential buildings around the city, according to data from the city.

“There are several adjectives that can describe the state of our city: growing, prosperous, dynamic, strong,” Pope said. “But I would describe our city and the state of our city as simply great.”

With the inclusion of Texas Tech and other universities and colleges within the city, visitors have been able to hold off on increasing property taxes, he said. Last year, more than 5 million people traveled and visited Lubbock, which is expected to increase.

Humanities Center to host future-themed film marathon

LP&L makes midseason adjustment, to implement 5 percent rate increase

By ALEXIS CARDEN Staff Writer

The future is something that is different for many people. Everyone plans for his own future, whether it is planning what to do tomorrow or scheduling classes for the upcoming semester.

The Humanities Center at Texas Tech will host a movie marathon at 12:45 p.m. on Jan. 28 in Alamo Drafthouse Cinema as a part of its annual theme: Futures.

Robert Peaslee, chair of the department of journalism and electronic media and a member of the advisory board for the Humanities Center, said this year’s film series will be featured as a movie marathon. The movies screened will revolve around the theme of possible futures.

“These themes are an opportunity for us (the center) to do programming in terms of guest speakers and book groups,” Peaslee said, “and to promote research around this kind of central theme.”

Themes are chosen specifically so the center can make the event as interactive and informative as possible, Peaslee said.

The center promotes its research

through the theme as well as by getting the students and the community involved.

Dorothy Chansky, the director of the Humanities Center, said a movie marathon is a good way for Tech students and the Lubbock community to become familiar with different peoples’ ideas and thoughts about the future.

“A movie marathon seems like a fun and accessible way to look at, investigate, disseminate and consider facets of the theme,” she said.

This year, Chansky said, the center has made a few changes to the event.

“Last year, we extended the film series over the course of the spring semester,” she said. “We don’t think we got as much traction as we would if we compressed them into a weekend.”

This year’s film series is compressed into a one-day marathon, Chansky said. The marathon will feature five movies shown backto-back and will cost $15.

“It’s all one-day,” she said, “Just go in, get your sandwiches and popcorn, and just bliss out for five movies in a row.”

Unanticipated costs have forced Lubbock Power & Light to adjust pass-through rates for its customers, which will increase electricity rates by 5 percent or about $5.12 a month for customers using 1,000 kWh per month.

The charges will go into effect Feb. 1, according to a memorandum from LP&L. There are three points of emphasis that have contributed to this rate increase: production true-up charges, power pool charges and rising fuel costs.

In February, the pass-through rate was lowered because of lower natural gas cost, according to the memo, but this year is different because costs have gone up.

Most of the rates charged to customers is from a purchased power-recovery factor that makes up nearly 70 percent of all customers electric rates, according to the memo. This is what is known as the pass-through rate for customers. @MichaelCantuDT

Arrington’s committee to aid in ACA replacement

known as Obamacare, but the worrisome part of that repeal is what it can be replaced with.

As of now, however, there is nothing in place that would replace the piece of legislation and many Republican politicians are taking heat for a lot of unanswered questions. In a non-partisan report by the Congressional Budget Office, it was estimated the repeal, without a proper replacement, would increase the number of uninsured Americans to 32 million people in 10 years, according to the New York Times.

But for the people of West Texas, the repeal of Obamacare could not come any sooner, or at least that is what the newly elected district 19 congressman Jodey Arrington is saying. As part of the House Budget Committee, he is intent on making the people’s wish become a reality.

“Folks in West Texas, like all hard-working Americans, rightfully expect to have their government balance its budget and live within its means,” Arrington said in an official statement. “The greatest threat to our children and grandchildren, and the long-term sustainability of American prosperity, is the national debt created by out of control government spending.”

However, with no plan in place with legislation that could fill the whole left behind by the ACA, out of control government spending could rise up again, Lisa Gittner, assistant professor in the department of political science and the Health Sciences Center Department of

Public Health, said.

To repeal the ACA would cost an estimated $16 billion, and with no proper replacement, the cost would go up to something between $350 billion to $1.5 trillion, Gittner said.

“You can’t repeal without something to replace, because first off, for hospital systems, clinics and physicians there would be no way to get paid,” she said. “Second off, you would just leave all of these patience out in the woods because they would have no idea on what to do without insurance.”

There would be a lot of disarray within insurance companies as well, she said, because there would be no guidance about what to charge. This would nearly decimate the insurance industry.

However, one promise of Arrington’s is to find a suitable replacement that would create a more efficient piece of legislation, perhaps better than the ACA, Gittner said.

“I’ve talked to Congressman Arrington and he gets that and he actually is really rational about this saying, ‘we can’t just repeal without figuring out what goes next,’” Gittner said. “And as you think about it, it’s not really repealing and replacing, it’s actually that we have to re-work this.”

Another concern the Congressional Budget Office has is the amount of options customers would have when they are trying to buy insurance for themselves, according to the New York Times article. The CBO estimates that options for people

could go from a range of two to three to possibly one or zero.

But, from a political science perspective, this may increase the number of options people will have, Gittner said. As of now some insurance companies are restricted to serving people on a state-to-state basis, but if regulations are relaxed they would have the opportunity to serve people in different places.

“We would have Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mexico insurance companies that could then be allowed to cover us in Texas,” Gittner said. “So they could end up with more choices.”

For Gittner the possibility of freeing up the market is strong, she said. One of the most contentious points of the

ACA was the amount of regulations involved with the legislation, so with systematic way of looking at specific clauses there could be a certain amount of policing up that law.

Lifting controls would allow people to choose their own options for health coverage, she said. But the biggest factor in all of these options is they are only hypothetical, there is nothing set in stone at the moment.

“There’s lots and lots of white papers right now, lots of ideas being floated,” Gittner said. “What we need to do is, instead of rushing into the craziness like we did with the ACA, with its 800-page boondoggle that nobody understood and huge chunks of it were

un-implementable, we have an opportunity to do this right.”

With a new role on the House Budget Committee, that is the route Arrington wants to take, according to his statement. Slashing government spending is a big goal, and that is what his intention is while serving on the committee.

“The people of District 19 place a premium on fiscal responsibility, and as such, it is my duty to represent them on this committee,” he said in his statement. “I will begin working immediately to help forge a more efficient and accountable federal government — beginning with the repeal of one of its costliest and most disastrous laws: Obamacare.”

STATE OF CITY

said. “There’s great things going on all over town, but there’s more work to be done in the future.”

Estimates show the population of Lubbock is growing at a 1 to 2 percent rate, Pope said.

Construction permits increased in 2016 by 14 percent, according to data from the City of Lubbock website, and residential growth has gone up 34 percent.

“The total value for new construction in Lubbock last year was over $660 million, (and) that doesn’t include what’s going on at Texas Tech,” Pope said.

The new goal of Pope’s administration is to plan for the future and to take care of what is already within the city, he said. Plans include a drainage project in northwest Lubbock at a budget of $35 million, with an

interest-free loan, that will address the flooding near Maxey Park, Lubbock’s medical district and residential neighborhoods.

The city has also implemented plans to try and conserve more water, Pope said.

Since 1980, the water usage in Lubbock has decreased by 38 percent, according to the city data, mainly through improved water conservation efforts.

“That means we’re all buying into this idea that water is very important to our future.

You know we like to talk about the fact that water conservation is the least expensive supply of water that we can develop,” Pope said.

The projects with the Lubbock Power & Light company is in an effort to join the Electric

Reliability Council of Texas.

Joining ERCOT will allow city officials to improve reliability and increase the system’s capacity, Pope said. It will also allow the city to harness more solar and wind energy.

This is the 35th year the Lubbock mayor has given the address, which is hosted by the Lubbock Apartment Association. The tradition of the LAA is to present the mayor with his choice of charities and raise money through a luncheon to give to that charity, Bill Maloy, president of the LAA, said.

“For years, this event has been able to make donations for the charity in the mayor’s name for organizations like South Plains Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, the Scottish Rite, the

Honor Flight,” Maloy said. “Over the last 35 years, these donations have totaled well over $150,000.”

This year, Pope chose the Lubbock Fire and Police Benevolence Fund, Maloy said.

Overall, the city is in good shape, Pope said, and with the cooperation of the city council, Lubbock will be able to continue its economic development. As of now, the city budget is down by more than $23 million from the previous year, and still able to function properly.

“The (universities and colleges) make a big impact, and surely they have a lot to do with fueling our economy,” Pope said.

“I speak for the city when I say we’re thankful for our partners in education.”

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1

Lubbock is estimated to have more than 249,000 people living within the city limits. Out of that estimate, nearly 20 percent of the population consists of students within Tech, Lubbock Christian University, South Plains College and Wayland Baptist University, according to the city data.

Tech has been able to help in neighborhood clean-up and beautification projects, Pope said. Last year, Student Government Association hosted the Tech to Town event that brought 500 Tech students to work on 11 community projects.

“This was their way of saying ‘thank you’ to Lubbock,” Pope

Poverty in Lubbock frequently overlooked

W

hen I was in elementary school, I remember being told by my mom that the very child sitting next to me in class could have a home life much different from mine. As a little girl, that reality didn’t seem quite as significant as it strikes me now.

In my first class last semester, who’s to say I didn’t sit next to a student struggling to pay for tuition? Or for housing?

Or for food?

Who’s to say on my walk to J&B, I don’t often stroll past a sad-eyed mother knocking around in her home, trying to figure out how to feed her children.

Who’s to say my apprehension to buy a bottle of $15 vitamins is anywhere near the struggle of scrapping together enough for a discounted loaf of stale bread?

So easily, we make the joke of being “broke college students.” However, I’m not sure we understand the gravity of being without a drop of money. How many of us take our paychecks straight to the bank and pray that will cover our tuition? And even then, that seems far from the poverty line’s threshold.

Interestingly, Lubbock has a pretty darn significant impoverished population. If you drive a little

ways west, you’ll find it.

If you stay out too late at night, you’ll see it. If you take a stroll down University Avenue, you can talk to it.

According to City-Data, in 2013, about 25 percent of Lubbock’s population fell below the poverty line.

This placed poverty rate in Lubbock above the poverty rate in Texas as a whole.

Nearly 9 percent of Lubbock’s population falls in the bottom half of the poverty range, once again leaving Lubbock worse off than all of Texas.

So, why aren’t we doing more? There is not some heartwarming abundance of clothing drives and soup kitchens.

The thrift stores in Lubbock are frequent ed by giggly party-goers — ready to recreate the 1990s — or college students who are stylish enough to take a grandma’s sweater and pair it with ripped-up jeans.

That’s no problem. In fact, it’s pretty cool that we’re stretching our dollars farther. More power to the crafty Millennial

and all that jazz. Right?

H o w e v e r, I ’ v e l o o k e d around Savers on occasion — yes, here I am calling the kettle “black” — and seen families scrounging together whatever wardrobe some old T-shirts and a couple of ill-fitting jeans can produce.

Nearly 9 percent of Lubbock’s population falls in the bottom half of the poverty range, once again leaving Lubbock worse off than all of Texas.

I’ve waited for a fitting room — cheerily chatting with my bargain-hunting accomplices about the retro feel of the flannel draped over my forearm — right behind a weary father helping his son pick out a pair of school jeans.

I’ve helped a friend find an outfit for a camp skit at a Goodwill that probably didn’t need its supply being diminished by two well-supported students.

I feel strange pointing this out because I really love thrift shopping. I do.

In all honesty, I might go this weekend to find a 1980s-esque sweater.

However, my point is not so much that I think we’re terrible for ridding resale shops of that which they sell, but more that I want to encourage us all to pause and remember why such stores exist.

They exist to serve and support those in need of our service and support.

Right now, deeply impoverished men, women and children are tightly woven into our community. Therefore, we mustn’t keep separating our insulated university experience from the difficult day-to-day lives of those around us.

The bottom line is there is such extensive poverty in Lubbock. We can’t let this be ignored.

We mustn’t let our time at Texas Tech be spent sucking up Lubbock’s resources, only to abandon the city without much more than a sappy farewell Facebook post. We owe more to this city.

Passion Conference — a Christian conference based out of Passion City Church in Atlanta — does an incredible job of providing an example of how to serve the city that serves the conference’s attendees.

Every year, Passion orchestrates the collection of countless — actually, I suppose they do count

it all — towels, blankets or clothing to send back to whatever city involuntarily hosted them.

Through this, Passion helps return some focus to that city’s population.

They’re recognizing it’s very easy to think of all the ways we need Lubbock to provide for us: cool shops, hip events, cozy little houses, affordable apartments, diverse food options, extensive medical facilities, well-maintained roads and freeways.

Yet, we are not thinking of what Lubbock needs from us.

Lubbock needs our tootight jeans — darn you, freshman 15 — and old sweaters. Instead of prying 30 bucks from Plato’s Closet or $50 for a pair of never-worn sneakers from a girl on Facebook, we could pour those resources back into Lubbock.

Instead of driving across town for a couple o f o v e r- p r i c e d c h i c k e n tenders, we could spend that half hour helping at Lubbock’s soup kitchen.

Instead of getting frustrated at Varsity because the line’s so long, we could bring a book we just finished reading to give to the homeless guy resting near Broadway Street.

The reality of poverty is that it is not just a state of

financial crisis. Poverty can be an absence of emotional support or a lack of personal security or a chronic self-esteem deficiency.

Poverty is not something we need to just throw money at or place a pair of fresh socks on. Poverty should be looked at through a much broader lens. Poverty can be absolved through compassion and care for those around us, but the first step in that mission is stepping outside of our social nucleus to acknowledge the poverty surrounding us.

There are so many ways to serve Lubbock and so many ways in which Lubbock needs our service. So, this semester, remember the poverty that aches and spreads around us.

Don’t let there be such an abundance of need when we have a way to alleviate it. Serve our struggling neighbor, for their struggle is close-by.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Where one man is left in his need, we risk establishing the precedent of ignoring injustice. This is the reality of perpetuating the poverty we ignore. aaiken@dailytoreador.com

Freshman considers Lubbock home more than hometown

ccording to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, “home” is defined as “one’s place of residence.” The third definition listed reads, “a familiar or usual setting.”

And finally, below all six definitions, the phrase “at home” is defined as being “relaxed and comfortable.”

Before I came to Texas Tech, I preferred the first definition of home. There are a lot of factors that play into why that was the case. In short, I was never a fan of where I grew up. I found Houston, my family’s home, too hot, too crowded, and I never particularly felt I fit in there. Houston was home, sure, but I never felt “at

When I started to visit colleges my senior year in high school, as soon as I walked onto Tech’s campus I felt at home. It didn’t make much sense, considering I had never been to Lubbock before. However, I felt inexplicably and entirely comfortable throughout my entire visit.

Even though Tech was the first college I visited, as my visit was over, I immediately knew I would be attending school here.

And, as they say, the rest is history.

With this past winter break coming to an end, I’ve just made my migration from Houston to Lubbock once again. I arrived in Lubbock on Tuesday after a grueling eight-andhalf-hour drive and was surprised to find how comforting it was to be back.

On Tuesday night, I grabbed dinner with a friend and remarked how weird it is that I effectively have two homes now. I have my old home in Houston, and yet, it doesn’t feel like a home. And Lubbock — specifically Tech — is also home, but more of the Merriam-Webster’s thirddefinition sort of home.

Students, store managers discuss purchasing textbooks

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

Textbooks are often necessary to a college class, but purchasing or renting one can be expensive, even at Texas Tech.

Mark Perry, a professor at the University of Michigan, assembled a line graph as part of a blog for the American Enterprise Institute website. The graph indicated the consumer price index for textbooks from January 1998 to July 2016 rose 181 percent.

Andrew Cicherski, the general manager of Varsity Bookstore, said prices for the textbooks Varsity sells are decided by the publishers of the books and not by the store. However, stores put in a margin.

“It’s misunderstood that that margin is very big and it is not,” Cicherski said.

“Margins on textbooks are like electronics. They are very slim, but we do have to include something in there to cover our shipping costs, our labor and our stocking overhead.”

Textbooks can be expensive, Cicherski said.

One reason is students are required to buy new textbooks each semester for different classes.

Solutions do present themselves, however. Lauren Bragg, an employee at Varsity and a sophomore business major from Weatherford, said she tends to purchase her books early to avoid hectic competition with other students pur-

chasing textbooks.

Bragg said working at Varsity has helped change her perspective on buying textbooks.

“I kind of see more of what there is and how they do the process of organizing the books and getting them ready for the students and for the school year,” Bragg said.

“So, it’s kind of helped me get an idea on when the best times to buy my textbooks are.”

Students look for cheaper and easier methods of purchase, with rentals and used books being more popular at Varsity, Bragg said.

Tori Sage, general manager for Barnes & Noble at Tech, said the store has a focus on helping students find affordable options when it comes to purchasing their textbooks. It accomplishes its goal through programs such as its student connection program.

“We are a full-service store,” Sage said, “whose mission is to ensure the right textbook for the right class is on the shelf at the right time.”

Fifty percent of the students who purchase textbooks from Barnes & Noble at Tech rent them, Sage said. This saved the students around $600,000 in the fall semester.

Students can also utilize price-comparison tools when it comes to purchasing their textbooks. Amanda Ganus, another employee at Varsity Bookstore and a junior English major from Lubbock, said she has

used such tools before.

“If the prices are comparable,” Ganus said, “I always go for the more convenient option.”

The textbooks for core courses, along with those for engineering and law, appear to be more expensive, Ganus said.

Both Varsity Bookstore and Barnes & Noble at Tech have methods for students to save money on textbooks.

Parents have the opportunity to use a loan p r o g r a m w i t h Va r s i t y Bookstore, if needed, Cicherski said.

“We have always done loan programs with the law students, as well, since their books cost a bit more,” Cicherski said.

Varsity Bookstore also tries to work with students about late due dates for rental books, Cicherski said.

Barnes & Noble at Tech works with Tech faculty to produce affordable solutions for students, Sage said. “ We a l s o d o o f f e r a price-match program,” Sage said, “so we’re able to price match with Amazon and (www.barnesandnoble.com) on new, used books and used rentals as well.”

Students are also able to get help from Tech’s financial aid office, as well, Sage said.

In the end, Ganus said, prices do not deter her from buying a specific textbook.

“I’d rather have it just to be safe,” Ganus said, “but I’ll always go for the cheapest option for buying it.”

ies are going to be shown until the marathon starts.

According to the Humanities Center’s website, some of the movies that might be chosen are “Back to the Future,” “Lost in Space,” “I Am Legend,” “Star Wars” and “Journey to

the Center of Time.”

Peaslee said he thinks the students and the general public who come to the event will enjoy the mystery of movie options.

“For me at least, as a person who loves movies,” he said, “there’s an excitement

@KirbyWarner_DT

about going in and knowing that you’re going to get something cool and interesting but not knowing exactly what.”

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema was chosen specifically for this marathon for many reasons, Peaslee

said, but Alamo Drafthouse was primarily chosen because it has done well in the past at hosting Tech’s activities.

“Alamo is a great partner with the university,” Peaslee said, “and we wanted to

continue that relationship.”

It will be a long day of movie watching, he said, but well worth it.

“I think folks will really enjoy what we got planned,” Peaslee said. @LexiCardenDT

American Airlines to sell restricted ‘basic economy’ airplane ticket DALLAS (AP) — If you want to get the cheapest fare on American Airlines, you’ll soon have to leave that rolling carry-on bag at home.

American announced Tuesday that it will soon unveil its version of a “basic economy” fare that will presumably cost less than

other coach tickets but come with fewer comforts.

For one thing, buyers will only be allowed to carry a personal item that fits under their seat.

The idea behind the stripped-down ticket is to better compete with discount airlines for travelers on a tight budget.

American didn’t say how much the tickets would cost, just that in general they will be less than other maincabin tickets.

Delta Air Lines already offers a basic-economy ticket on about 40 percent of its U.S. routes and plans to cover them all by year-end and expand it to international

flights. United Airlines says it will begin selling a similar ticket by the end of March for travel starting in late spring or early summer.

American said Tuesday it will begin selling the new fare next month for flights at 10 airports, then expand availability later this year.

If you buy a basic-econ-

omy fare on American, you can expect this: No wheeled carry-on bags; you’ll be allowed just a single item that fits under the seat.

You will be in the last group to board the plane unless you’re already a high-level member of American’s loyalty program or

Auschwitz asks Germans, Austrians to donate items WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial museum is asking Germans and Austrians to donate private letters, memoirs, photos or any other items that could help historians better understand the mentality of the Holocaust’s

perpetrators.

The museum said on Wednesday that it seeks “to better understand the influence of populist mechanisms of hatred for human beings.”

It promised to guarantee the anonymity of any donors to the museum.

Tickets are non-refundable and can’t be changed.

Museum Director Piotr Cywinski said the historical knowledge of what happened at Auschwitz comes mainly from former prisoners, preserved camp documentation and postwar court trials.

He said the archives currently “contain very

few private materials created by members of the SS staff.”

Nazi Germany operated Auschwitz-Birkenau in occupied Poland during World War II, killing some 1.1 million people there, the large majority of whom were Jews.

CAMPUS

Hospitality Services accommodates to student needs

By AKHILA REDDY Staff Writer

As the new year begins, Texas Tech students must decide on how to dine this semester. Hospitality Services provides many options to do so through its flexible dining plans and various dining locations.

Hospitality Services offers three dining plans for on-campus residents and two commuter dining plans for off-campus residents, according to the Hospitality Services website. It also offers opportunities to adjust these dining plans as needed, so students can fully utilize their dining bucks.

Students, who feel they need more or less dining bucks, can change their dining plans until the 20th class day of the semester, Alan Cushman, manager of busi-

ness development for Hospitality Services said. Students will also able to carry over any excess dining bucks to the next semester or year.

This flexibility is a way for students to make use of every dining buck, Cushman said.

If students choose to opt out of their dining plans and have an excess of dining bucks, Hospitality Services works with students to find ways to spend these unused dining bucks, Cushman said. Some options include mass ordering nonperishable food items, such as candy bars, and arranging donations to the South Plains Food Bank.

“At the end of the day, they’re your dining bucks,.

You guys have paid for them as students,” he said.

“We want to make sure that you can use them in a way you choose.”

In addition to providing flexible dining plans, Hospitality Services offers a wide array of dining locations and cuisine. Hospitality Services has more than 50 dining locations across campus, Cushman said.

A variety of these locations are open every day at times ranging from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m., Cushman said, and include national brands such as Chick-fil-A, Einstein Bros. Bagels and more.

“No matter what students like to eat, whether it’s chicken fried steak, hand-rolled sushi or a burrito, it’s on campus and accessible,” Cushman said. “We’re always looking for different ways to meet students’ diverse needs.”

These on-campus locations also meet a range of dietary needs, Mindy Diller, a registered dietitian at Hospitality Ser-

Denver starts work on public pot policy DENVER (AP) — Denver is starting work Wednesday on becoming the first city in the nation to allow marijuana clubs and public pot use in places such as coffee shops, yoga studios and art galleries.

Voters narrowly approved the “social use” measure last November.

But the ballot proposal didn’t spell out many rules for how the marijuana could be consumed, beyond saying that the d r u g c a n ’t b e s m o k e d inside and that patrons must be over 21.

A workgroup made up of Denver business owners, city pot regulators and marijuana opponents starts work on suggesting regulations in the afternoon.

The state Liquor Control Board already has decreed that no businesses with a liquor license can allow marijuana use. That leaves it to restaurants that don’t serve alcohol

and other event spaces.

There’s no deadline for Denver to finalize rules.

Supporters hope to see the city start accepting applications by this summer.

Emmett Reistroffer, a cannabis-industry consultant who ran last year’s campaign to allow public marijuana use, said the eventual regulations will require neighborhood approval for any pot clubs or coffee shops.

Reistroffer organized a r e ce n t p u b l ic m eeting about the measure and invited interested businesses, saying a few dozen showed up to find out more.

“There are plenty of places in Denver where you can find neighbors who want this kind of establishment,” Reistroffer said.

The organizer of the opposition campaign also is attending Wednesday’s meeting. Rachel O’Bryan said she’s concerned that businesses won’t be able to

safeguard against intoxicated patrons driving home.

The measure does not allow participating businesses to sell pot, so they won’t have any control over what people are consuming. Patrons would have to bring their own marijuana, whether its edibles they use inside or joints they smoke in outdoor areas.

“If you are neither serving nor counting the potency of the product, nor counting how much they consume, how are you protecting the public when they leave your property?”

O’Bryan asked.

A bill to allow pot clubs statewide is pending at the state Legislature. The pot-club bill has bipartisan support but uncertain prospects, especially as Colorado and other legal pot states await word on whether Donald Trump’s administration will tolerate pot businesses in states flouting federal drug law.

This range includes vegan needs, vegetarian needs, gluten-free needs, lactose-intolerant needs and more.

Campus resources on nu-

tritional options at these locations include the Smart Choices website as well as free consultations with Diller.

Monae, Kidjo to perform at DC march WASHINGTON (AP) — Janelle Monae, Maxwell and Angelique Kidjo are set to perform at the Women’s March on Washington this weekend.

Organizers of the event announced its performance lineup Wednesday. Mary C h a p i n C a r p e n t e r, t h e Indigo Girls, MC Lyte, Samantha Ronson, Toshi Reagon and Emily Wells are also set to perform at Saturday’s march.

“I am honored to join this critical movement to bring justice and equality to all,” Monae said in a statement. “Music has always been a powerful tool for galvanizing unity and I believe that singing and standing together, our voices will be stronger than any force that tries to repress us.”

Organizers say entertainers including Questlove, Grimes, Neko Case, Rakim and Lila Downs are joining the march’s “artist table” to support the event at the U.S. capital and the 200 planned “sister marches” around the country. Actress America Ferrera was previously announced as the chair of the artists’ group.

Red Raiders find success over break

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Sports Editor

The Texas Tech men’s basketball team continued to make strides on the court as it defeated two top-25 ranked teams over winter break.

The Red Raiders improved their overall record to 13-4 for the season in addition to being undefeated at home, 11-0.

Tech started the break with a 79-72 win over Richmond on Dec. 17 in Richmond, Virginia. Senior guard Devon Thomas and junior forward Zach Smith each collected double-doubles in the road win.

Stevenson also matched Smith’s four assists to help the Red Raiders in their first Big 12 win of the season.

Coming off the first Big 12 win, the Red Raiders hit the road to face off against No. 3 Kansas on Jan. 7 in Lawrence, Kansas. Tech suffered its second conference loss to the Jayhawks, 68-85.

Lady Raiders challenge ranked opponents

By ARIANA HERNANDEZ Staff Writer

Over the winter break, the Texas Tech women’s basketball team had little time to dabble in holiday festivities.

The Lady Raiders closed out 2016 with an undefeated record at home and look to continue doing so as classes start up again.

After the end of fall semester, the Lady Raiders started out on a high note when they continued their undefeated win streak at home after beating Central Arkansas, 79-45, in the United Supermarkets Arena. The Lady Raiders scored 20-plus points in three of the four quarters. Four Lady Raiders scored 10-plus points during the game.

Freshman guard Arella Guirantes led the team with a career-high of 22 points, according to the Tech Athletics website. Senior guard Ivonne CookTaylor followed Guirantes with 16 points, four rebounds, five assists and three steals. Junior guard Larryn Brooks had 15 points and went 4-for-6 from beyond the arc, according to Tech Athletics.

After the win against Central Arkansas, Tech hosted Alcorn State on Dec. 18 and defeated the Lady Braves, 90-37.

Once again, Tech scored 20-plus points in three of the four quarters and had its season best, at the time, with 11 turnovers in the first half, according to Tech Athletics.

Junior center Jada Terry led the team with 15 points and went 6-for-7 from the field.

The Lady Raiders contin-

ued their undefeated record at home when they beat the University of Texas at Arlington on Dec. 22 in a 79-60 victory.

After the win, Tech headed into the Big 12 Conference play with an 8-3 record.

In the first quarter, the Lady Raiders led the Lady Mavericks, 28-5, holding UTA to its lowest shooting average at 28.6 percent.

Caldwell led the team with 20 points, marking her fourth 20-plus point game of the season. Terry followed close behind with 17 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and three blocks, according to Tech Athletics. CookTaylor scored 13 points, which marked her seventh double-digit game of the season. Brooks followed right behind CookTaylor with 12 points, nine of which were from 3-point range.

Throughout the game there were various lead changes. However, in the last quarter of the game, Tech pushed past Oklahoma State, scoring 24 points, to become victorious. Tech shot 90 percent from the floor and went

3-for-3 from beyond the arc in the final period, according to Tech Athletics.

For the third week in a row, sophomore guard Recee’ Caldwell led the team with 20 points, which marked her sixth 20-point game. Freshman forward Brittany Brewer had a strong performance, scoring 14 points, and tied a career-high of nine rebounds in her second start with the Lady Raiders, according to Tech Athletics. Guirantes followed Brewer with 10 points for her ninth double-digit game of the season.

After the first Big 12 win of the season, the Lady Raiders defeated Iowa State, 75-66, on Jan. 4 at home in front of the season’s best crowd with 5,406 fans in attendance, according to Tech Athletics.

Behind Caldwell, Brooks followed with 11 points, while Brewer had her first double digit-game of the season with 10 points and a career-high 14 rebounds, according to Tech Athletics.

Junior forward Dayo Olabode hit back-to-back 3-pointers, and then shortly after, Brooks hit the Lady Raiders’ fifth straight 3-pointer. However, that was not enough to hold down Kansas State. Guirantes was the only player to score in double digits for Tech with 10 points, marking her 10th game in double figures, according to Tech Athletics.

The loss against Kansas State did not break the Lady Raiders as they defeated No. 18/19 West Virginia, 75-66, on Jan. 11 to earn their 10th win in the United Supermarkets Arena this season. The win marked the first time since 2013 the Lady Raiders have defeated a ranked opponent,

according to Tech Athletics.

In the fourth quarter, Tech tried to come back as it outscored Oklahoma, 17-10, but its efforts were not enough.

Brooks led the team with 12 points, while Terry scored 10 points and tallied five boards against the Lady Sooners, according to Tech Athletics.

Up next, the Lady Raiders will face off against the Texas Longhorns at 6 p.m.

MEN’S TENNIS

Red Raiders spring season begins over weekend The Texas Tech men’s tennis team is 1-1 in 2017 with wins against New Mexico and the University of Central Florida.

Tech started its 2017 season on Friday against Arizona at the UTSA National Tennis Center in Florida.

However, the match was delayed by three hours and eventually canceled because of weather, moving the actual season opener to the match against New Mexico the next day.

The No. 23 ranked Red Raiders shut out New Mexico, 4-0, including junior Alex Sendegeya’s going 2-0 in single competition while also clinching the win for the Red Raiders, according to Tech Athletics.

After defeating New Mexico, Tech went on to face the University of Central

Florida later that same day but faced a 3-4 defeat against the Knights.

For the doubles-point in the meet, it took all three matches to determine the winner. Tech was defeated after UCF won four of the six sets in singles. UCF ultimately won with a battle between Tech’s junior Connor Curry and UCF’s Kalman Boyd in the No. 2 slot with Boyd’s winning the match for UCF. Tech was able to win the first two singles sets when sophomore Bjorn Thomson defeated UCF senior Mariano Porter, 6-1 and then 6-3.

The No. 27 ranked doubles team for UCF, Porter and redshirt senior Harrison Richmond, defeated Tech’s No. 60, Sendegeya and Thomson, 6-2, in the match, according to Tech Athletics.

The No. 2 and No. 3 positions for Tech, however, came back to win the point for doubles. Curry and senior Carlos DiLaura defeated UCF’s junior Korey Lovett and Boyd in a 6-3 match, according to Tech Athletics.

The No. 3 ranked team of sophomore Ronit Bisht and freshman Pyry Hyrkkonen also were victorious against freshman Enrique Paya and Chris Barrus 6-4.

Te c h ’s n e x t m e e t i s against Iowa at noon Jan. 28 to start the ITA Kickoff Weekend at the McLeod Tennis Center.
