“One of the problems we see with a lot of resume are misspellings and misused words,” Jay Killough, director of the UCC, said.

“Some employers are more forgiving when it comes to typos, but it’s always best to minimize mistakes.”

Students need to be wary of using online templates when preparing their resumes, Killough said. Often, it leads to multiple applicants having visually similar resumes, making it harder to stand out from the crowd.

Using one’s resume as a means of expressing his creativity is encouraged within reason, he said.

However, it is important not to go overboard with overly complex designs that offer little credibility.

“Depending on your major, a more conservative looking resume might be more appropriate,” Killough said.

“Employers are looking for professionalism just as much as creativity sometimes.”

Trump may get Social media presence impacts job opportunities China trademark approval soon

By ZACH SCHROEDER Staff Writer

The basics of finding a job seem simple: have a solid, put-together resume, the right qualifications and a good interview. However, there are some factors that job seekers tend to overlook: social media and credit.

While potential employers certainly look at one’s educational qualification and work experience, around 90 percent of employers do a credit check, as well, Ben Hart, chief financial officer of the Texas Tech Credit Union, said.

“They will want to see all the outstanding debts that you have and make sure you’re paying as agreed because that’s a sign of character to these companies,” Hart said.

Employers will also look at

down to a single page in order to not take up too much of a potential employer’s time.

“Communication skills are not only important when looking for a job but are also very useful once you’ve begun your career, as well,” Penner said.

“Sometimes students have difficulty articulating their marketable skills, and being an effective communicator can make a significant difference.”

Highlighting one’s accomplishments may make a good impression, but volunteer hours are equally as noteworthy, she said.

Both campus and community organizations recruit volunteers on a consistent, year-round basis.

“Leaders are those who are willing to serve,” Penner said. “Students investing their time in commendable activities outside of class are usually rewarded for their efforts.”

A resume should be thought of as a snapshot of an individual’s overall body of knowledge and skill set, she said. Students must be mindful to keep their formatting consistent

In terms of the resume content, leadership and management skills are frequently sought after by employers, he said. Having substantial work experience in a position of leadership is often the best occupational qualification.

“Listing specific, detailed examples of how you acquired your skills for an employer helps your chances of landing a job interview,” Killough said. “Elaboration is critical to success, no matter what job you’re applying for.”

Overall, students looking for a job usually feel confident in their ability to operate in the workforce but feel less confident about their ability to acquire potential job opportunities, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers website. A proven way to build a case for employment is to establish a solid base of data that conveys experience.

It is important to remember that a resume is not a reflection of a person’s entire life, Ashley Penner, lead counselor of the UCC, said.

Excluding some information is necessary because every resume should be edited

debt-to-income ratio, which is one’s income compared to his combined monthly obligations, Hart said.

“Use credit cards responsibly, be very wary of using it for something that’s not a necessity,” Hart said.

One key to having a good credit is only increasing debt as needed and acquiring debts that increase one’s value, Hart said. Student loans are a good example of debt that improves one’s value, but students should try to minimize the loan amount.

Simply because one has been approved for a certain amount does not mean he should use that full amount, Hart said.

However, if one graduates with student loans and credit card debt, it could be five to 10 years before he can get out of that debt, Hart said.

“Pay as agreed and pay as the contract states. If you have past dues, that’s going to penalize your credit score,” Hart said. “If your credit

score goes down, your ability to get credit in the future is limited, and you’re going to pay a higher interest rate.”

Having a clean and professional social media presence can also be a factor when finding a job, Bob Schaller, adjunct professor in the College of Media and Communication, said.

“I truly believe social media is a part of your resume for the working world,” Schaller said.

Engaging in debates in an insulting manner on social media and having inappropriate posts can negative impact one’s job prospects, he said.

Being aware of anything that is posted online, which is controversial in any way, can be misconstrued and taken out of context to paint a misleading picture of the person who posted it, Schaller said.

“Social media is a business card that the whole world has access to,” Schaller said. @DailyToreador

HOUSTON (AP) — AT&T says 911 service has been restored for cellphone customers who had been unable to call 911 in Texas, Florida and several other states.

Various law enforcement and government agencies in Texas, Florida, Tennessee and other states had reported the same problem on Wednesday evening.

A spokesman for Dallas-based AT&T on

Wednesday evening offered customers apologies for the problem.

But the spokesman did not immediately provide details on how many states or customers were affected or what caused the outage.

During Wednesday’s 9 11 o u t a g e , m a n y l a w enforcement agencies in affected states provided al t er nat e num bers f or people to call in the event of an emergency.

SHANGHAI (AP) — China has granted preliminary approval for 38 new Trump trademarks, a move that offers a potential business foothold for President Donald Trump’s family company and protects his name in a country notorious for counterfeiters.

The trademarks cover everything from hotels and golf clubs to bodyguard and concierge services, public documents show.

Trump’s lawyers in China applied for the marks in April 2016, as Trump railed against China at campaign rallies, accusing it of currency manipulation and stealing U.S. jobs. Critics maintain that Trump’s swelling portfolio of China trademarks raises the possibility of conflicts of interest.

China’s Trademark Office published the provisional approvals on Feb. 27 and Monday .

If no one objects, they will be formally registered after 90 days. All but three are in the president’s own name. China already registered one trademark to the president, for Trump-branded construction services on Feb. 14, the result of a 10year legal battle that turned in Trump’s favor after he declared his candidacy.

Ethics lawyers across the political spectrum say that if Trump receives any special treatment in securing trademark rights, it would violate the U.S. Constitution, which bans public servants from accepting anything of value from foreign governments unless approved by Congress. Concerns about potential conflicts of interest are particularly sharp in China, where the courts

and bureaucracy are designed to reflect the will of the ruling Communist Party.

Trump Organization chief legal officer Alan Garten said the company has been enforcing its intellectual property rights for more than a decade in China and began registering trademarks relating to its core real estate brand years before Trump announced his presidential run.

“The latest registrations are a natural result of those longstanding, diligent efforts and any suggestion to the contrary demonstrates a complete disregard of the facts as well as a lack of understanding of international trademark law,” he said in an email.

China’s State Administration for Industry and Commerce, which oversees the Trademark Office, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

Dan Plane, a director at Simone IP Services, a Hong Kong intellectual property consultancy, said he had never seen so many applications approved so expeditiously.

Plane said he would be “very, very surprised” if officials from the ruling Communist Party were not monitoring Trump’s intellectual property interests. “This is just way over your average trademark examiner’s pay grade,” he said.

The marks include branded spa and massage services, golf clubs, hotels, insurance, finance and real estate companies, restaurants, bars, and a trademark class that covers bodyguards, social escorts, and concierge services.

It’s not clear whether any Trump-branded businesses will materialize in China.

Garten did not elaborate on how the trademarks would be used, but said the company did not apply for a trademark for social escort services.

Garten said in an email to the AP that part of the application included concierge and security related services associated with the operation of a hotel or restaurant, but not “escort services,” a legal trademark classification.

Those hotel-related services fall into the same trademark class as escort services, which were included in the Chinese government’s preliminary approval of the mark. The filing lists “escort service,” ‘’body guard,” and “social escort,” among others.

Alumni Association bridges gap between students, alumni

By ERIN FRANCKHAUSER Staff Writer

Building connections, networking and future career options are all thoughts racing through different students’ heads as they devote their college careers to finding their future jobs.

Tech Alumni Association, the Student Alumni Board and the University Career Center are designed to help combat, alleviate students’ stress and prepare them for their future careers.

Laura Bixler, membership coordinator for the Alumni Association, said there are many benefits of joining the Alumni Association as a member.

“The overall reasons are we support hundreds of scholarships every year, we help elevate Texas Tech University, and we enhance your degree just by being a member,” Bixler said.

The association is the largest Tech alumni network, Bixler said. Student members gain admission to the Frazier Alumni Pavilion before home football games, providing them with access

to the largest on-campus network of alumni at Tech.

The association focuses on bridging the gap between students and alumni through these events.

Additionally, a student membership provides discounts around town and on Kaplan Test Prep for those planning to attend graduate school, or taking the MCAT or related tests. However, nothing can beat the connection and networking opportunity the association provides students with, Bixler said.

“Our alumni overall are really excited to help students,” Bixler said.

It is all about showing up, participating in these events and using the opportunities the association provides to the fullest, whether it is on campus or off campus in students’ home towns, Bixler said.

Kati Krause, a senior marketing major from Stephenville, is involved with the Alumni Association.

As the vice president of the Student Alumni Board, Krause said she understands the importance and benefits of networking.

“(Alumni) want to know what’s going on campus and what is new, because a lot of times, we have people who have graduated in the (1960s), and they (wonder) what has changed,” Krause said.

The student board specifically focuses on bridging the gap between the alumni and student bodies, Krause said.

The Student Alumni Board consists of 36 students who focus primarily on campus, while the Alumni Association’s focus starts on campus and spreads across the country, Krause said.

Another difference between the two is the Alumni Association partners with the University Career Center, while the Student Alumni Board focuses solely on the Alumni Association.

Jay Killough, the managing director at the University Career Center, partners with the Alumni Association to provide resources and services, he said.

“We are one of the few career centers in the country that offers free service to alumni,” Killough said.

All alumni can utilize

the University Career Center’s services without pay, Killough said. This is because Tech believes in providing lifetime services to former Red Raiders.

Additionally, the University Career Center offers the Raider Mentor Network.

The Raider Mentor Network, which is a partnership between the Alumni Associa-

tion and the University Career Center, allows students to contact alumni who graduated with the same major to see what they are doing now and to ask questions, he said.

The University Career Center uses its connections with alumni to support current students in unique ways, Killough said. For instance, the Career Closet of-

fers suits, donated by alumni, to students who need them.

Killough said he always looks for more ways the Career Center can connect students to alumni, whether it is suit donations, networking opportunities or student-job openings for Tech employers.

“Texas Tech hires Texas Tech,” Killough said. @DailyToreador

Career experts discuss resumes for different occupation fields

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

With resumes, sometimes minute details can make the difference between getting hired or shooed out the door.

Moreover, the details that attract positive attention vary between fields of employment.

Jay Killough, director of Texas Tech’s University Career Center, said resumes should be written to the description of the job and highlight qualifications.

Two key components

for a resume are education and most-recent employment experience, Killough said, with activities, honors and organizations being the icing on the cake.

“If you’re a president or a treasurer, vice president,” Killough said, “those are all really good things to highlight in a resume.”

Other aspects that make a strong resume i n cl u d e v i s u a l appeal , organization, consistency and readability, Killough said. There should not be too much information or too little information on

the resume.

Certain fields, such as business, can focus on more specific aspects.

Jacob Gordon, a career development specialist for the Rawls College of Business Career Management Center, said for business resumes, quantifying information with numbers and results is recommended, as numbers tend to stand out more.

“The numbers not only give the recruiters something to visualize,” Gordon said, “but it also acts as validation for how well

a student performs at a particular skill.”

One thing that sets a business resume apart from, for example, a law or engineering one, is the latter is more about industry and field-relevant experiences, while the former focuses on specific experiences and accomplishments, he said.

When it comes to work experience, even one relevant job could be enough depending on the employer, Killough said. One example would be a student who waits tables and wants to

be a financial adviser.

“There are so many transferable skills,” Killough said. “From managing money at the register, fast-pace environment, upselling items, communicating with patrons of the bar, counseling them on what to order on personal issues. That’s all related to what maybe a financial counselor would do.”

When properly written, the skills that would be transferable between two jobs could create a good fit, Killough said.

With resumes, it is never OK to compromise quality for quantity, Gordon said.

For instance, it is better to have only five relevant experiences as opposed to having seven experiences when only five are relevant.

“I would love for students to be able to feel confident upon graduating that they can continue growing their resume themselves," Gordon said.

"That they don't see the Career Management Center as just another hurdle in the job search process." @KirbyWarner_DT

‘Good Fight’ takes television lead in making Trump an issue LOS ANGELES (AP) — A CBS-produced legal drama has taken the lead in weaving President Donald Trump into its stories, and it keeps raising the stakes.

In last month's debut of "The Good Fight," ''The Good Wife" spinoff on CBS' streaming service, lawyer and Hillary Clinton supporter Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranksi) watched and cringed as Trump was sworn into office.

In another episode, a member of the drama's nearly all-black law firm tells his boss he voted for Trump and is scorned by his colleagues.

On Sunday, "The Good Fight" takes on CBS competitor NBC over its delays in airing a drama with allusions to Trump. His new administration again

comes in for jabs as well, setting a pattern for "The Good Fight."

After a number of prominent Hollywood figures campaigned vigorously against the Republican candidate, it became an open question of how much their opposition might be reflected in the TV shows and films they produce.

Most shows that debuted last fall have wrapped their production for the season that ends in spring, and movies have a long road to get into theaters. "The Good Fight," which debuted in February, has taken ample advantage of its timing.

NBC chief to Trump: We won't be intimidated NEW YORK (AP) — The chief of NBC News has a message for President Donald Trump: We're not going to be intimidated.

NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack said on Tuesday that the president's attacks on some media outlets won't deter his organization from doing its job. NBC News was one of the organizations specifically cited by Trump last month in his tweet about the "fake news" media that is the "enemy of the American people."

"We're not the opposition party and we're not in a popularity contest with this administration or any other administration," said Lack, who supervises NBC's broadcast

news and digital properties, including MSNBC. He called the president's attacks a distraction.

Trump hasn't specifically gone after any NBC News stories since he's been president. But in his "enemy of the American people" tweet, he mentioned the network along with ABC, CBS, CNN and The New York Times.

"This president has us focused every day more on temperament than we expected," Lack said.

going on politically right now," said Michelle King, who created and produces the CBS All Access show with her husband, Robert.

Robert King said the drama hews closely to what they did on CBS' "The Good Wife," which also dwelled in the world of law and politics.

"That had a lot of references to the Clintons and Obama, and critical depictions too," he said. "The only difference is in degree."

NBC declined to comment on "The Good Fight" episode.

CBS All Access directed questions to the producers.

The White House declined to comment, saying staff were focused on moving America forward in the real world.

The upcoming "Good

Fight" hour is a thinly veiled shot at NBC's postponement of a "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" episode about a candidate facing sexual assault allegations.

The unaired "Law & Order: SVU" episode was bumped from its originally scheduled airdate in October and its rescheduled Nov. 16 telecast. NBC hasn't announced a new airdate.

During his 2016 campaign, Trump said that allegations of sexual abuse, including claims he kissed and groped several women, were false.

The "SVU" episode is titled "Unstoppable."

In the "Good Fight" episode, titled "Stoppable: Requiem for an Airdate," the law firm accepts the case of a TV writer be-

CIA leak emphasizes surveillance issues O

n Tuesday, WikiLeaks published a collection of documents named “Year Zero” — the first part of a larger series of leaks code named “Vault 7” — detailing the CIA’s surveillance programs.

WikiLeaks claims “Vault 7” is the “largest intelligence publication in history.” Yes, WikiLeaks is claiming “Vault 7” is bigger than Edward Snowden’s National Security Agency leaks from 2013.

In fact, WikiLeaks points out “Year Zero” alone contains more pages than those published from Snowden’s leaks in a three-year period.

In other words, this a big deal.

It should be noted that, because the leak is still quite new, the documents have yet to be confirmed as authentic. However, given WikiLeaks’ previous track record, the “Vault 7” leaks are likely to be legitimate.

Snowden himself commented on Twitter about the leaks, saying “Still working through the publication, but what WikiLeaks has here is genuinely a big deal. Looks authentic.”

As reported by WikiLeaks in its news release, “Year Zero” details how the CIA goes about its surveillance.

Some Samsung smart

lance along with the NSA shouldn’t be a huge shock.

The big takeaway from “Year Zero,” as it currently stands, is the CIA is withholding vulnerabilities it finds in software for its personal use.

In fact, President Barack Obama decided in 2014 the U.S. government should reveal such vulnerabilities, so companies can fix them, but by leaving these vulnerabilities open, the CIA allows anyone else who knows about such vulnerabilities to exploit them.

This means if another government or third party discovers the vulnerabilities, those parties can then use the vulnerabilities for their own benefit.

Alex Olges is a freshman journalism major from Humble.

TVs are said to be compromised using a tool called “Weeping Angel” to make the TVs appear off while recording conversations through the built-in microphones.

IPhones and Android phones are said to be compromised with similar CIA-created malware. It’s the same story for Windows, macOS and Linux.

In the case of the smartphone hacks, compromised smartphones are unable to keep encrypted messages private as the CIA’s malware can catch the communications before it is encrypted.

H o w e v e r, A p p l e h a s stated in a response to TechCrunch that most of the vulnerabilities exploited to compromise its devices have been patched.

This also hints to the credibility of the leak itself.

None of this should come as a big surprise to anyone who follows the issue of digital security and privacy.

We’ve known about government surveillance for a while now, and finding the CIA working in surveil-

None of this should come as a big surprise to anyone who follows the issue of digital security and privacy.

Even if someone doesn’t have a problem with the U.S. government spying on him, I’m quite sure he would have a problem with the Russian government spying on him.

This essentially proves the malicious intent of the CIA — and really, the whole U.S. government — surveillance. Whether you’re OK with the government surveilling its own people or not, it’s hard to deny that such surveillance policies open up the opportunity for misuse from outside parties.

By being so consumed in trying to expand its surveillance programs, the government has failed to protect its own people from outside parties who might try to use the exploits against the American people.

And that’s assuming the U.S. government surveys without its own malicious intent.

I’ll say this: With “Vault 7” and the Snowden leaks before it, there is a pretty clear picture to be painted in regard to the government’s surveillance programs.

They are extensive and intrusive. They continue to happen behind everyone’s backs despite having the curtain pulled back by various leaks. They flaunt the government’s gross misuse of power defiantly in the face of the American people.

Surveillance is an issue, more so than any other issue going on right now.

Muslim bans, alterna-

tive facts and fake news may provide more immediate concerns, but if surveillance continues to go largely ignored by the American people, those issues I just mentioned won’t matter anymore.

You won’t have a say.

You won’t have your freedoms. The United States won’t be a democracy.

Surveillance is an issue, more so than any other issue going on right now.

George Orwell’s “1984” may seem far off from where we are as country now, but if we continue to allow surveillance to grow, “1984” will become our reality.

As history has shown time and time again, power corrupts. Man has always longed for power, and surveillance provides the ultimate source of power: absolute knowledge.

Yo u m a y t h i n k y o u have nothing to hide, but you do.

Surveillance may not seem like a big deal to the average citizen, but consider the possibility of a future where voting a certain way results in private

messages being leaked to various family members who were never intended to see those messages.

Blackmail is incredibly easy with so much private information at one’s fingertips.

Don’t believe me? Go see for yourself. Look through “Year Zero” and be on the lookout for further publications within “Vault 7.”

Read up on Snowden’s NSA leaks. The stuff of spy movies isn’t exactly fiction. This is real. This is happening right now.

WikiLeaks noted in its news release it had “intentionally not written up hundreds of impactful stories to encourage others to find them and so create expertise in the area for subsequent parts in the series.”

T h e r e ’s m o r e t o b e found in the first part of “Vault 7” alone.

It’s time to start paying attention to surveillance.

The people who say the government is watching you are not crazy.

The people who are paranoid about their online presence are not crazy.

This is absolutely real and our freedoms are slowly being pulled out from under us.

Start paying attention. aolges@dailytoreador.com

Challenging workout routine creates champions

T

he gym is a place where people work to push themselves, get stronger and, most importantly, get chiseled muscles.

So, in these gyms what would you expect to see?

If you expect to see a motivated crowd, it would be r e as o n abl e t o wa l k in on a group of young athletes shouting at the ceiling as they pump that last rep or gasping for air as they run that last step.

However, these expectations do not meet reality.

It seems, nowadays, people go to the gym for roughly an hour and, according to my calculations, they spend roughly half of that time on their phones or relaxing next to a machine.

I find this disgraceful.

In response to these

your energy needs to come from your mind, heart and soul, not from the latest song by Young Dolph.

To b e a p a r t o f m y r i p p e d c r e w, t h e n e x t step is taking all of your supplements and pouring them into the trashcan.

While we purify and strengthen our minds to become free from music, filthy pre- or post-workout mixes need not taint our pure, physical energy.

Those in my crew have the right to look down upon pre-workout supplement users, as we will work harder without the shameful supplements.

tank-top-wearing, dis honorable gym-loungers, I have developed a potent workout that will push any layman to his absolute limit.

Thus, I will beseech to you the necessary prepwork and exercises for what I call the “Eight and Eight Challenge.”

First step of the workout: take your headphones and throw them into the trashcan or give them to a friend. The Eight and Eight Challenge is a strictly headphone-free workout.

grees of incline and under eight miles per hour.

The side effects of these two workouts are threefold. First, your core will become extremely chiseled. Next, you will get a tremendous rush of endorphins. And, finally, your cardiovascular system will grow to be equitable to that of an athlete.

You will also be able to run longer distances with great ease, as the inclined run will make running upon flat surfaces seem easy in comparison.

The run is especially difficult. To put it in perspective, a measurement of exercise intensity called the MET puts the Eight and Eight run at 17.7 mets; the higher the number, the more intense.

In comparison, accord-

ing to the Compendium of Physical Activities Tracking Guide, uphill crosscountry skiing measures at 16.5 mets.

There are two components: a five-minute plank, and a one-mile run at eight degrees of incline and under eight miles per hour.

Therefore, while only 7.5 minutes into your workout, you will work as hard as some of the world’s most polished Nordic athletes for a brief moment.

You will want to quit.

But a champion does not stop when he is in pain;

you must continue. I go to the gym and do this almost everyday, and it is always extremely difficult.

But, the workout has given back to me: I have been awarded a chiseled core and an excellent resting heart rate of 57 beats per minute.

In doing these two exercises, you will separate yourself from the light-lifting, phone-using crowd and bring honor to your family.

Remember: What separates the winner from losers is that losers quit while winners win. Barrel on until the end.

Do the Eight and Eight Challenge for yourself.

Put the phone down and head to the gym.

Georgia county agrees to Pivotal groups oppose GOP restore black voters’ rights health bill, Ryan seeks unity

ATLANTA (AP) — Election officials in Georgia’s sparsely populated, overwhelmingly black Hancock County agreed Wednesday to restore voting rights to dozens of African-American registered voters they disenfranchised ahead of a racially divided local election.

About three-quarters of the people they removed from the voting rolls — nearly all of them black — still live in the voting district and will be restored to the county’s registered voter list under the settlement.

“We want to make sure that a purge program like the one that played out in the fall of 2015 never happens again,” said Kristen Clarke, executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, which sued the county in federal court.

Hancock County Board

of Elections members maintain that they weren’t targeting or trying to intimidate black voters by sending sheriff ’s deputies to summon people to appear before them and prove they lived in the county.

Board members said they were complying with Georgia law, which allows any voter to challenge another ’s eligibility, and requires that a sheriff or deputy deliver documents in a voter registration challenge, said their lawyer, Mike O’Quinn.

“Nobody in Hancock County is trying to turn the clock back and discriminate against AfricanAmericans contrary to what some news media has reported in this case,” O’Quinn said.

The methods they used would have required federal pre-approval if the Supreme Court hadn’t struck

down provisions of the Voting Rights Act two years earlier. The justices ruled that federal oversight is no longer necessary in many places, but advocates say purges of voter registration lists remain common across the South, particularly in rural and poor areas.

“As we contend with discriminatory photo ID laws or proof of citizenship requirements, we must remember efforts to purge voters from the rolls sadly remain a crude process we are contending with,” Clarke said. “It’s one that is often used to strip that right away from AfricanAmericans and other minority voters.”

O’Quinn acknowledged that the board failed to consider the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, which applies to Georgia and 43 other states.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pivotal industry and consumer groups mounted intensifying opposition to the Republican health care bill as GOP leaders labored Wednesday to rally a divided party behind their high-stakes overhaul drive. Lawmakers cast Congress’ initial votes on the legislation as House Speaker Paul Ryan praised the proposal as “what good, conservative health care reform looks like.”

The American Medical Association, the American Hospital Association and AARP, the nation’s largest advocacy group for older people, were arrayed against the GOP measure. Seven years ago their backing was instrumental in enacting President Barack Obama’s health care statute, which President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are intent on erasing.

The hospitals — major employers in many dis-

tricts — wrote lawmakers complaining about the bill’s cuts in Medicaid and other programs and said more uninsured Americans seem likely, adding, “We ask Congress to protect our patients.” Groups representing public, children’s, Catholic and other hospitals also expressed opposition.

Early Wednesday, leaders began pushing the legislation through two committees — Ways and Means, and Energy and Commerce — but as nighttime set in neither panel seemed near final approval.

GOP leaders faced rebellion within their own ranks, including from conservative lawmakers and outside conservative groups. Top Republicans knew if the upheaval should snowball and crush the legislation it would be a shattering defeat for Trump and the GOP, so leaders hoped passage by both House committees

In words aimed at recalcitrant colleagues, Ryan, R-Wis., told reporters: “This is what good, conservative health care reform looks like.

It is bold and it is long overdue, and it is us fulfilling our promises.” The last was a nod to campaign pledges by Trump and many GOP congressional candidates.

Outnumbered Democrats used the panels’ meetings for political messaging, futilely offering amendments aimed at preventing the bill from raising deficits, kicking people off coverage or boosting consumers’ out-of-pocket costs. They tried unsuccessfully to insert language pressuring President Donald Trump to release his income tax returns, and failed to prevent Republicans from restoring insurance companies’ tax deductions for executive salaries above $500,000 — a break Obama’s law killed.

Students share favorite Committee names 2017-18 DT, LV editors interview tips, tricks The Student Media Committee met at 7 p.m.

Wednesday in the Llano Estacado room of the Student Union Building to determine the 2017-2018 editorin-chief positions for both The Daily Toreador and La Ventana publications.

McKenzi Morris, a junior public relations major from Allen, was named the editor-in-chief of The DT. Morris worked as the editor-in-chief during Summer 2016, and she currently works as the managing editor for The DT. The goal is to create changes within the newspaper, Morris said.

“I had a lot of ideas I wanted to put in place for the summer, but my time was very limited,” Morris said.

Morris, who has worked for The DT since August 2014, said her goal is to use the entirety of the next academic year as editor-in-chief to fully implement her ideas into the publication that she was unable to in the amount of time she had during the summer.

Anthony Estolano, a junior electronic and media communications major from San AnMORRIS tonio, was named LV’s editor-in-chief.

“I switched to newspaper, and now I am going back to yearbook,” Estolano said. “I thought it would be a great opportunity get back to designing and telling stories very creatively.”

Estolano’s passion for yearbook started while he was in high school. Upon coming to Texas Tech, Estolano started working for The DT in August 2014. He said the newspaper has allowed him to use similar writing, design and visual storytelling elements found in yearbook.

However, seeing the opening for editor-in-chief position, Estolano said he knew it was time go back to his original passion.

Gerald Dolter, professor at the School of Music

and chairman of the Student Media Committee, said responsibility was key in naming the ESTOLANO editors and their positions.

“The next two to three years could be times of great change in this country, and on this campus and in education in general,” Dolter said. “The students need to keep their eyes on it.”

Dolter said he is confident the new editor-inchiefs are capable of overcoming conflicts that may arise in student media due to unrest in our country.

There is an excitement in witnessing the leadership qualities represented in Tech’s student media, Dolter said.

“There have been editors who have gone on from this position and done great things in the media,” Dolter said. “So, it’s a great proving ground.” @DailyToreador

Typewriters of Larry McMurtry sell at auction for $37,500 in New York DALLAS (AP) — The two typewriters Larry McMurtry used to write his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “Lonesome Dove” sold at auction for $37,500.

Heritage Auctions sold the typewriters Wednesday at an auction in New York City.

Eric Bradley, a spokes-

man for the Dallas-based auction house, said the typewriters sold to a bidder from Texas who wished to remain anonymous.

McMurtry had told The Associated Press he “just decided that it would be fun” to sell the typewriters at auction, “and I actually have too many typewriters.”

The 80-year-old author and screenwriter said he still writes on a typewriter and has about 15 of them.

While writing “Lonesome Dove,” a tale of a cattle drive in the 1870s, he kept one typewriter in his hometown of Archer City, Texas, and the other in Washington, D.C.

After submitting a resume and a cover letter, one of the most important steps in securing an internship or a full-time position is the interview.

Texas Tech offers students many resources to help them prepare for this stage of the application. The University Career Center offers students mock interviews to ensure that they can effectively communicate their skills and qualifications, according to the University Career Center website.

The Career Center offers a variety of interview formats, according to its website, including panel interview, behavioral interview and technical interview, depending on what students ask for.

Tina Zhu, a freshman microbiology/Spanish dual major from San Antonio, interviewed for and was accepted into the Tech Undergraduate to Medical School Initiative.

According to the Health Sciences Center website, UMSI provides seniors in high school with guaranteed admission to HSC School of Medicine, provided they maintain certain requirements as undergraduates.

“Since I was actually interviewing for medical school, it was pretty competitive,” Zhu said. “It was probably one of the interviews that I prepared the most for.”

Zhu said preparation is key to doing well on an interview. Preparing an articulate answer for why one wants the job and why one is a good fit for the job is something students should do before every interview.

SXSW to remove immigration warnings from festival contract AUSTIN (AP) — The South by Southwest festival will remove language from contracts that had warned bands and performers that U.S. immigration agents could be notified over serious contract violations.

SXSW announced the changes Tuesday ahead of the massive music, film and technology showcase starting later this week. It comes after a New York-based musician announced he was pulling out of the festival

over immigration language in his contract.

Word of the contract language caused swift reaction on social media and comes amid heightened fears of immigration crackdowns under President Donald Trump.

least some of the questions they are going to be asked and have thought about them prior to the interview.

If students are caught off guard, they should take a moment to think through their answer rather than rushing to say something, Mendoza said.

“One thing to remember is to be blunt,” Mendoza said. “For example, if you want a certain pay, make sure you make that known, and then also just be prepared for anything.

She said the most important point to remember is to act natural. It can be difficult in such a stressful setting, but it is important for interviewers to get a sense of your personality.

“Don’t let nerves or anything get in the way. Just be yourself,” Mendoza said. “If you’ve done your research and are truly passionate about whatever you’re applying for, the best thing to do is relax and hope for the best.”

Practice interviews are equally important, Zhu said. Before Zhu’s interview at Tech, she had interviewed at other schools, and she learned from those experiences. The mock interviews at the Career Center are a good way to get this kind of practice.

“An interview for a really competitive or important spot isn’t something you can just walk into,” Zhu said. “It’s something that you really need to spend time on, like any other part of your application.”

No. 6 Tech defeats Wichita State, 4-2

By ARIANA HERNANDEZ Staff Writer

The Lady Raiders tennis team traveled to Wichita, Kansas, to challenge Wichita State on Wednesday afternoon after a win over No. 29 Rice, 4-0, on Sunday. Tech maintained its winning streak and defeated Wichita State, 4-2.

Coming into the match, the Lady Raiders were on a two-game winning streak, according to Tech Athletics. This season, Tech is 10-3 overall and 4-0 in away games.

The loss to Tech bumped Wichita State’s record to 5-7, according to Wichita State Athletics. Wichita State came into the contest on a twogame losing streak after a loss to Oklahoma, 5-2.

We d n e s d a y ’s c o n t e s t against the Shockers was the Lady Raiders’ first away game not played at a neutral site, according to Tech Athletics.

The Lady Raiders started out strong, and doubles duo of sophomore Felicity Maltby and junior Gabriela Talaba on court two opened up the match with a 6-1 win over Tanaporn Thongsing and Ting-Ya Hsu, according to Tech Athletics.

Wichita State came back

to tie the match after Fatima Bizhukova and Gabriela Porubin beat Lady Raider duo of junior Sabrina Federici and junior Sarah Dvorak, 7-5, according to Tech Athletics.

Freshman Alba CortinaPou and Sophomore Alex Valenstein got the doubles point after a 7-5 win over Wi c h i t a S t a t e s ’ G i u l i a Guidetti and Marta Bellucco on court three, according to Tech Athletics.

The Lady Raiders had a 1-0 lead heading into singles action.

Maltby defeated her singles opponent Gabriela Porubin after two sets with a final score of 6-1, 6-1, according to Tech Athletics. This extended Tech’s lead to 2-0.

Wichita State fought for a comeback after two backto-back wins on court three and four. Thongsing finished in two quick sets against Valenstein, 6-1, 6-1. The Shockers pulled away with another win on court four after Bizhukova defeated Dvorak, 6-1, 6-2, according to Tech Athletics.

Tech regained the lead, 3-2, after Talaba defeated Guidetti in two sets, 6-2, 6-2, on court one, according to Tech Athletics.

Talaba’s win over Guidetti was followed by another win after junior Katelyn Jackson prevailed over Marija

Tech faces four teams in Tulsa Invitational

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

After defeating Abilene Christian, 2-1, on Tuesday, Texas Tech continues its road slate to the Tulsa Invitational in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Tech is set to face Montana, Wichita State, Cal and Tulsa, according to Tech Athletics.

Cal is looking to rally back after losing to Tech last season.

For Tech, this weekend’s first matchup is against Mon-

tana at 10:30 a.m. Friday.

“I think that (sophomore infielder) Jessica Hartwell has come in to be pretty consistent,” coach Adrian Gregory said. “We’ve had to shift her into a couple of positions. She’s starting to swing in the way that we know she has. Devon Thomey has been consistent at the plate all year and Brittany Warnecke has been so consistent defensively all year.”

This season, Montana is 7-12 overall, 2-2 in away

games and 5-10 neutrally.

Recently, Montana traveled to the Red Desert Classic in St. George, Utah. The Grizzlies went 2-3 in the classic, losing to Nebraska-Omaha, Utah and Utah State. The Grizzlies defeated UNLV and Utah Valley.

Tech has not played the Montana Grizzlies in at least 17 years, according to Tech Athletics. Junior Delene Colburn leads the Grizzlies with five home runs on the season

so far. Colburn has scored 13 runs and 23 hits. She also has six doubles and 12 RBIs, and has a .383 batting average.

“To keep our consistency, I think we can just focus on getting two out of three done, which we’ve preached defense, pitching and hitting,” Warnecke, a senior infielder, said. “We say if we get two of those done, then we’ll win the game. So, I think just focusing on really succeeding in two is going to help us stay consistent.”

Tech then replays Wichita State at 3 p.m. Friday. The Red Raiders lost to the Shockers, 10-7, on Friday during the Texas Tech Invitational.

Wichita State is 11-6 on the season, 0-1 at home, 3-1 away and 8-4 neutrally.

During Friday’s game, nine Wichita State players scored runs in the game. Senior midfielder Kelli Spring scored two runs for the Shockers and had three hits. As a team, Wichita State had 12 hits, nine RBIs and five doubles.

“I think it’s going to be great competition,” senior catcher/ infielder Susan Welborn said.

“I think that every team is going to be great practice and great for us to compete against, and I think that anyone we can pull is going to be great for us in the future.”

The Red Raiders then square off against Cal at 11:15 a.m. Saturday. The Golden Bears are 15-3 on the season, 1-0 at home, 3-2 away and 11-1 neutrally. Tech faced Cal last season, defeating the Golden Bears, 2-0.

ABBIE BURNETT/The Daily Toreador

Freshman pitcher Kassidy Scott pitches to a University of Texas El Paso batter during Texas Tech’s 8-0 win Friday at Rocky Johnson Field. Tech will face Montana at 10:30 a.m. Friday in the first game of the Tulsa Invitational in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Overall this season, the Golden Bears have 145 hits, 83 hits and 102 runs in 18 games.

Cal also has 27 doubles, five triples and two home runs, according to Cal Athletics.

Offensively, the Golden Bears also have 25 stolen bases out of 31 attempts and 138 assists.

“We’re hoping that weather doesn’t play a part in losing some games for us, but Tulsa will be a good matchup and of course Cal,” Gregory said.

“The last time that I looked, they’re ranked still. We beat them last year. So, they’ll be looking to make sure they have some vengeance coming on us.”

Tech then plays Tulsa at 3:45 p.m. Saturday. Tulsa’s overall record is 11-8 overall, 3-2 away and 8-6 neutrally.

The classic will be the first time this season when the Golden Hurricanes play at home. In the 2015 season, the Red Raiders played the Golden Hurricanes twice.

Tech lost to Tulsa in the first game 11-1 in five innings. However, Tech then defeated Tulsa the second time, 10-2, in a game that also ended in five innings, according to Tech Athletics.

Sophomore outfielder Julia Hollingsworth leads Tulsa with 17 runs, 24 hits, four doubles, one triples, 12 RBIs and two home runs. Senior infielder Maggie Withee follows with 13 runs and 22 hits.

“I think Cal’s coming for us,” Warnecke said. “They want to beat us for sure, and we’re going to have to play at the top of our level to compete with them and beat them again. It’s going to be exciting, it’s going to be fun. So, we’re excited.” @JackDensmore_DT
