State acts to stop cities from limiting drilling AUSTIN (AP) — Texas moved Monday to ban its own cities from imposing prohibitions on hydraulic fracturing and other potentially environmentally harmful oil and natural gas drilling activities within their boundaries — a major victory for industry groups and top conservatives who have decried rampant local “overregulation.”

Lawmakers in America’s largest oil-producing state scrambled to limit local energy exploration prohibitions after Denton, a university town near Dallas, passed an ordinance in November against hydraulic fracturing or fracking, attempting to keep encroaching drilling bonanzas outside their community.

Fracking is the practice of blasting huge volumes of water and chemicals underground to release tight deposits of oil and gas. Denton voters’ opposition was driven by recurring small earthquakes and safety worries from gas wells that have become ubiquitous near urban area during the energy boom of the last few years.

But energy lobbyists argued that local regulations shouldn’t trump property rights and effectively choke off natural gas drilling underground.

Sudden downpour surprises Lubbock

By MICHAEL CANTU Staff Writer

With a partly cloudy day hinting at a chance of rain, many area residences and students were expecting to see a bit of mild precipitation, but none were expecting the downpour to be as sudden and intense as it was.

A flash flood watch was in effect from 4 p.m. Monday to 7 a.m. Tuesday. Some areas of West Texas saw upward of four inches of rain Monday evening. This weather had an effect on roads, evening plans and electric and networking connections.

update of the master plan focused mostly on the Texas Tech and Health Sciences Center campuses in Lubbock.

The plan has to be updated, he said, to ensure the campuses have enough land area to fit the infrastructure needed to accommodate the students and programs on campus.

Mallory Grace, a junior chemistry major

from The Woodlands, said she is glad Tech takes the time to update the plan for the campus, as it is so large.

“I know it’s good and I’m glad they do it,” she said, “I just wish there was a way to make the campus more connected or put classes near each other. Sometimes I have classes that there wasn’t room in other buildings in Media and Communications.

Do you know how far that is?”

This update of the plan was unique in that a 28-person committee was used to make the changes to the book, Molina said.

The last time the plan was updated, he said, a private entity was used to draw up the plan.

“If I did, my car would’ve probably died in the middle of the road like the cars of some people leaving campus.”

Numerous intersections within the city of Lubbock flooded, according to the National Weather Service. Portions of 34th Street were closed and barricaded.

The widespread showers were predicted to persist Monday evening and into Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service. This would bring in more potential for pea-sized hail and cloud-to-ground lightning.

Many Texas Tech students are active within the Lubbock community as volunteers and they choose to help a variety of causes, including veterans, the homeless and many others.

Best Buddies is a national organization that helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities develop friendships, and the Tech chapter partners students with individuals in the Lubbock community.

Christina Werckle, a freshman biochemistry major from San Antonio, said she has been a member of Best Buddies since she came to Tech.

“In high school and throughout my life, I’ve been really involved with inADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

dividuals with special needs,” she said.

“It’s something I’m really passionate about. It’s been a great organization for me.”

The students act as peer buddies and are paired with buddies with special needs by the officer team, Werckle said, and the officers match the pairs based on how well they think they will get along.

Best Buddies hosts monthly events for all the buddy pairs to attend together, Werckle said, and each buddy pair will also spend time together individually.

“Some of the monthly things we have done are ice cream socials, luau parties and a Halloween costume party,” she said. “Those were really fun. We like to do really creative things.”

The Big 12 Conference announced on Monday the No. 21 Texas Tech baseball team’s senior second baseman Bryant Burleson has won Big 12 Player of the Week.

After struggling to keep his starting spot for much of this season, Burleson has been in the starting lineup in almost all of the games these past few weeks.

The senior has hit .421, going 8 for 19 at the plate. The eight hits included two doubles, a triple, a home run and five RBIs. With a .500 on-base percentage, Burleson reached base in all five games last week and is on an eightgame hit streak.

member and has been named Big 12 Player of the Week by College Sports Madness twice. This is his first time to be honored by the conference, according to the Tech BURLESON Athletics website.

In Austin, he hit 2 for 5 with two RBIs in the third game of the series to help the Red Raiders win back-to-back series in Austin for the first time since the 1999-2001 seasons.

By playing in all three games this past weekend, Burleson is now one of four players in school history with 200 career games played, according a Tech Athletics news release. ➤➤@JeremyK_DT

Rawls expansion to finish by Fall 2016

By AMY CUNNINGHAM News editor

As the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration grows, so does the need for more space in the building.

Michael Molina, vice chancellor of facilities planning and construction, said expansion of the west side of the building has already begun and is expected to be completed by Fall 2016.

“This expansion was originally a part of the building of the new Business Administration building,” he said. “From the first day of classes in the building, they knew they were going to need more space to accommodate all the students.”

Bob McDonald, associate professor of marketing and chair of the building committee, said the construction is necessary because of the growth of the university and the college itself.

The building currently has 148,790 square feet, with 96 faculty offices and 23 student classrooms, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador, and

opened for classes in Spring 2012.

“We’re adding roughly 38,000 square feet of space, three floors in a single L shape,” McDonald said. “On the ground floor, we will have another restaurant facility.

We will have a multipurpose space that can be used for meetings or for study space for students.”

On the second floor of the addition there will be four new classrooms and four study rooms, as well as a couple of seminar rooms for doctoral seminars, he said.

Students, faculty and staff are glad the building is expanding, McDonald said, because it has been a long time coming. ”Positive, definitely positive reactions,” McDonald said. “My students are sad they’re going to be graduating before it’s finished.”

The third floor of the expanded part of the building will feature office spaces, a large conference room and a behavioral laboratory for experiments and research studies.

A testing center within the college will open, he said, in order to better coordinate large sections of classes that need to take tests.

“We’re going to better utilize our space that we have. We need more classrooms,” McDonald said. “Our classrooms are full. The other day, we were trying to show the architects some things in our large classroom and that room was scheduled from eight in the morning to eight at night.”

There are about 20 student organizations in the business college, he said, and a conference room will open for officers to have a meeting space.

The new addition means space in other parts of the building will be less cramped, McDonald said. Few faculty and staff will be displaced as a result of the construction.

“There will also be an expansion of office space, and we’re going to put in what we call the Rawls Global Engagement Center, so our study abroad,” he said.

“I think we have more than 300 students studying abroad this summer, so it’s really growing.”

The expansion was designed

building, McDonald said.

Lee Lewis Construction is the contractor and also constructed the original building.

The limestone originally on the outside of the west side of

the Rawls building has been salvaged, McDonald said, and officials intend to reuse almost 100 percent of it.

“When we designed this building and moved over here,

we had the idea for this expansion already planned,” he said, “because we knew we would grow as the university grows.

Task Force on Greek Organization Culture hosts town hall meeting

By MICHAEL CANTU

and resources, the report informed those attending the meeting of ways the task force has been active throughout the year.

Through the task force, Tech has limited unsanctioned alcohol-related activities, created more leadership summits, instituted more individual training for event planning and has hired a new director for its newest office of Risk Intervention and Safety Education, according to the report.

There also has been more accountability given to all members of fraternities and sororities, according to the report, as well as more communication with local and national chapter advisers.

Online reporting and a revised section of the Student Handbook have also been made through the initiation of the task force, along with new sanctions and recruitment policies.

“In particular, the Task Force was a rejuvenating-type experience for me,”

Mark Warren, task force community member and panelist, said, ”because I really saw the implementing of what the task force was charged to do. I think the task force accomplished very much.”

Warren said the council is there for the Greek community, not against, and feels sure the new council will listen to the needs of everyone involved in the organizations.

The council is going to better prevent problematic situations from rising

to unacceptable levels, Warren said, with an emphasis on risk management.

Describing the board as an action based community, not reaction based, Warren said the advisory board would lead to a better and more supervised approach to controlling behavior and standards of the Greek community.

With the leadership training that has been implemented, those with leadership positions are better able to step up to the plate and seek the resources they need to have a stronger grip on their organization, Michael Farmer, president of the Faculty Senate and task force member, said.

The Greek community members will be able to meet the standards the community has set for them through the training, he said.

“We found this year with the leaders of these organizations, kind of a minor management point. The leaders of these organizations were stepping up but overwhelmed,” he said. “And what you find is that the leaders were doing everything. And you have a 40, 50, 80-member fraternity or sorority and they have two people doing the work.”

Moving forward, all individuals involved in the Greek community will have to engage in adult behavior, Farmer said.

If this is corrected and improved, he said, the Greek culture will be a more respectable and adult community.

These rules are nothing more than guidelines to keep Greek life healthy and at Texas Tech, Bailey Iverson, Tech student and member of Delta

for the respective campuses and move toward Tech’s 100th anniversary.

“The plan recognizes the multiple opportunities to create a more robust pedestrian campus, create leading-edge medical and academic program environments, nurture research initiatives and celebrate the architectural language of our buildings and integrated space,” he said.

While there is not a mandated time when the plan needs to be updated, Molina said, updates are made when deemed needed.

Tech President M. Duane Nellis said, according to the plan, it is important to the university and community members that a sound, innovative and forward-thinking master plan is in effect to define the future of the institution.

“An essential part of our contributions to society is ensuring our faculty, staff and students are teaching, conducting research and learning in an environment conducive to success,” he said. “It is imperative we continue to update, enhance and create these op-

portunities as our enrollment grows, as we hire new faculty and as we welcome in advances in technology that foster an even greater learning experience.”

In addition to ensuring there is enough space to accommodate the growing infrastructure, Molina said the update emphasizes a micro-community within the City of Lubbock.

This allows Tech to function as its own university but also have a relationship with and be connected to the city.

“The master plan update addresses several key issues related to

perimeter growth and clearly defined boundaries of the campus,” he said, according to the plan. “It continues to celebrate our campus heritage while being creatively linked to the surrounding communities.”

This includes architectural elements that create a visual perimeter for the university and emphasize the campus historic district as well as a commitment to LEED, or Leadership in Energy Environmental Design, standards when constructing new buildings.

“Setting a precedent for conscien-

tious design solutions is critical in transforming the way we approach how our buildings are programmed, designed, constructed, maintained and operated,” he said, according to the plan.

“This is the basic strategy of the TTU System’s progressive collaboration with innovative design and state-of-the-art construction technology.”

The plan is currently printing, Molina said, and will be bound into a book to serve as a “playbook” for current and future university developers.

In order to update students and faculty on accomplishments and implementations this school year, a town hall meeting was hosted with a panel of three members of the Texas Tech Task Force on Greek Organization Culture at 1 p.m. in the Senate Room of the Student Union building.

With seven key points, the meeting was a way to brief the public on all the work that has been going on and provided summaries for all of those in attendance.

During the meeting it also was discussed the task force will be the Fraternity and Sorority Life Advisory Board next year.

“The advisory council will seat approximately 25 people,” Amy Murphy, dean of students and director of the Center for Campus Life, said. “It will be larger and more encompassing of the various cultures involved in fraternity and sorority life.”

Most of the current council members will move into the new advisory board and will begin meeting this summer, Murphy said.

The board needs to fill the remaining seats, she said, and nominations are being received for those spots.

The task force released a final report summary recapping the initiatives and accomplishments of the task force during the 2014-2015 year.

Gamma, said.

Iverson wants students to not fear the task force, she said, and hopes students do not see the task force or future advisory board as an executive policing body, but as a more preventative organization.

“The goal is to place these guidelines so that we stay a stronger community here at Texas Tech, and we can continue to do our good work that we have continued to do for years,” she said. “Raising money, helping our community. And I’m just very impressed from what I’ve seen change already.”

The board members realize there have been many holes in the system in regard to members controlling other members, she said, and is one of the first things they would like to, and have already, improve on.

The task force answered questions on how the Greek community is incorporating students’ education with each organization, and those on the panel said they encourage students to keep up with their schoolwork.

Every member of any Greek organization is a student first and should always keep that in mind, Iverson said.

“If they’re not self-policing, I think it gets back to some of the things we talked about before,” Warren said. “If you let something fester and fester and fester it’s finally going to explode. And I think that what we hope to do with the advisory council is to get that momentum going and rebuild a generation of fraternity and sorority members.” ➤➤@MichaelCantuDT

MADD provides West Texas residents victim services

By KAITLIN BAIN Senior reporter

MADD, or Mothers Against Drunk Driving, is a national organization with offices in many different locations aiming to help prevent drunken and drugged driving and help those who have been affected by drunken and drugged driving.

Amanda Eldredge, a victim services specialist with the MADD West Texas Affiliate, said the organization offers many services other than just advocacy or prevention.

“We assist victims after they’ve been affected by impaired driving crashes, so drunk or drugged driving crashes,” she said. “So then there’s offices who do a lot more prevention work and programming and stuff like that. Our office is unique. We do all of that but not on a big scale like some offices.”

There are also some offices that work on legislation, she said, such as the Austin office, which is currently trying to get House Bill 2246 passed.

HB 2246 deals with ignition interlock in cars for people who have been drinking and driving, she said.

An ignition interlock tests the driver’s blood alcohol content before allowing the person to start the car.

The West Texas MADD affiliate serves 75 counties, she said, includ-

ing Lubbock County, and mainly works on coordinating volunteers and helping victims.

The services provided to victims differ depending on what they need, Eldredge said.

“What we usually do is we go to court with them,” she said. “We advocate on their behalf if they need us to. We call the DA and get case updates for them, go to meetings with them if they want us to, just helping them through the entire criminal process.”

Outside of helping victims through the process, she said MADD also has books and brochures they can give victims. The affiliate also has a support group that operates about four or five times a year.

She said many victims like to get involved in giving back after their experience, so MADD can help them get set up to volunteer with the organization too.

“You know, we help them anywhere from if your mailbox was damaged, all the way to a fatality.

We help everyone in between,” Eldredge said. “Even if there were no injuries – if you were in a wreck and there were no injuries we still help.

There is stuff in every case you can help them with.”

The most rewarding part of working with MADD, she said, is

watching people heal after going through the traumatic experience of a drugged or drunken driving crash.

While everyone heals, she said, the way each person heals and the amount of time each person takes is different.

“You don’t ever recover,” Eldredge said. “Your heart is always going to miss individuals or you may always have pains from your injuries but it’s just finding a new way to cope and a new way to live.

It’s rewarding to me to watch families go through their healing process and overcome and then go out and share their stories.”

While the organization works to help those who have been affected by a drunken or drugged driving accident, Eldredge said, there are many misconceptions about what MADD is and what it does.

She said people tend to think MADD is “a bunch of angry women.” The organization is more than that, she said, and involves anyone who wants to care about and look out for their community, be it men, women, brothers, sisters, anyone.

“We’re also not a prohibition group,” Eldredge said. “A lot of people think we’re against alcohol. If you’re a legal adult and can consume alcohol legally, that’s OK. We just want you to get home safely. You don’t want

to endanger yourself or anyone else because of your decision.”

Finally, MADD does not just advocate for those who have been affected by drunken driving accidents but also drugged driving accidents.

On the organization’s 35th anniversary, which was this past January, the MADD national board of directors voted to add drugged driving to the organization’s mission, according to the MADD website.

“What drives our passionate and compassionate volunteers and staff is creating a future of no more victims, from drunken driving, drugged driving and underage drinking consequences,” Colleen Sheehey-Church, MADD national president, said in a statement.

“That’s why we were founded in 1980, it’s why we exist today, and it will be our legacy.”

It is important to know that anyone can get involved with MADD, whether they have been personally impacted by a drunken or drugged driving incident or not.

Eldredge said she has not been personally affected, but has always had a passion for underage drinking prevention and drinking and driving prevention.

She first heard about MADD when they visited her high school, she said, and she finally found a

EIC learns lessons while at The DT

I was hired as a staff writer for The Daily Toreador the summer my family and I were renovating my new house in Lubbock. I slept on a blow-up mattress in the middle of my living room for three weeks.

I wrote my first story for The DT sitting on that mattress while my mom tore off wood paneling from the 70s. Almost two years later, I’m sitting in my own office listening to the editorial board as I write my last piece for The DT. Between my first story and this last column, many things have changed.

Throughout the summer and fall 2013 semesters I was a staff writer, which basically means you work your butt off writing a story every day for minimum wage. The DT’s current sports editor and I had a byline count competition. Even though it has never been proven, he swears he beat me. I’ll let him have it though because I beat him in MVP award counts. It’s fine.

As a staff writer, I worked for the news section and wrote about student crime, minor sex trafficking and a student who died coming back to

Buddies↵

Next year, the organization wants to host a formal event with a dinner for all the buddies.

The organization also hosts fundraising events, like its 5k on April 25, and raised money through the registration fee.

“It’s really cool how you get so close with someone,” Werckle said. “It’s a real friendship I plan to have for the rest of my life, not just while I’m at Texas Tech.”

The Best Buddies organization also works to develop leadership and other professional

campus. I interviewed high-ranking Texas Tech officials and students off the street. This time at The DT taught me maturity and strength. It’s not easy interviewing a mother who lost her son.

I was eating ramen noodles and working overtime. I honestly didn’t think I could do it any longer. It was good work but hard work. But before the end of my first semester, I was told I would be the news editor.

I was ecstatic — maybe because of the paycheck maybe not.

I began my time as news editor with three staff members. If you don’t understand newsrooms, three staff members is a scary small number to start with, but my team of three survived and became more than I imagined. They were just as determined as I was to get the job

done and I will always be grateful for that lesson.

When I applied to become the editor-in-chief of The DT, I didn’t know how tough or how rewarding the job would be. After I moved into my office, for some reason, and I may be biased, there was an excessive amount of news. I mean it’s like the floodgates opened for breaking news and scandals during my time as editor-in-chief. I’m not complaining, it made for awesome newspaper content, but I was just taken aback. The stories we covered made the entire newsroom more mature. We made mistakes, but we learned from them. We grew as an entire newspaper to cover stories with professionalism and efficiency, and I was/am so proud of them.

I have an editorial board of eight who are the best of the best.

Without any of them the paper would not happen. We have all stayed in the newsroom until 2 a.m. to cover breaking news. We have fought the “newspapers are dying” trend together. We wrote editorials

to take bold stands. People have mistakenly underestimated us as student journalists. These editors and staff writers are committed and hardworking. I would trust them with anything — besides guarding my food. I would never trust them with that.

As editor-in-chief I had the opportunity to represent a great publication with even greater people working for it. I hope I will never take that for granted.

As I look back at my time here, I began writing on a blowup mattress and ended writing in my own office.

I learned many lessons through trials and tribulations that cannot be learned anywhere else.

I have met great people who cannot be replaced.

Between my first story and this last column, many things have changed.

skills in the buddies, and many other chapters exist at universities across Texas, like Baylor University and Texas A&M University.

Micah Nehring, a freshman business management major with a concentration in prenursing from Waco, said she joined because she had a friend involved at the University of Texas chapter.

“I thought it would be a good way to give back and it would help with the nursing part of my major,” she said. “I’m really good friends with my buddy.”

The peer buddies help their buddies volunteer in the community as well, Nehring said,

and she enjoys getting to promote working for a positive future.

Megan Hamil, a sophomore psychology major from Pearland, said she has an experienced background working with special needs individuals and wanted to stay involved at Tech.

“I spend a lot of individual time with my buddy,” she said.

“It’s such a great organization to be in. Most of the buddies touch your life in ways that you don’t even realize.”

Best Buddies is looking to expand its organization next year, and it hosts monthly meetings to plan events and develop friendships among the Tech peer

buddies as well.

Having a buddy pair allows the buddies to feel like the adults they are, Werckle said, and Best Buddies focuses not just on socializing but on developing meaningful individual relationships.

“It benefits both parties of the organization,” she said. “It benefits the buddies because they need that friendship component to their lives. It benefits the college students because it can be super life changing for a lot of people. It develops our character and the way we look at society and people in our community.”

UC Berkeley’s Mark Twain project finds cache of new writing SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Scholars at the University of California, Berkeley have pieced together a collection of dispatches written by Mark Twain when the author was a young newsman in San Francisco.

In the letters, the man who would write The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, likened the city’s police chief to a dog chasing its tail and accused city government of rascality.

Some of the letters carried his flair for embellishment and may not be entirely true.

“This is a very special period in his life, when he’s out here in San Francisco,” said Bob Hirst, general editor of the Mark Twain Project on the Berkeley campus.

“He’s utterly free, he’s not encumbered by a marriage or

much of anything else, and he can speak his mind and does speak his mind. These things are wonderful to read, the ones that survived.”

Twain was likely 29 years old when he started filing neardaily columns for the Territorial Enterprise newspaper in Virginia City, Nevada, in 1865. He wrote a 2,000-word story, or “letter,” six days a week for a salary of $100 a month, Hirst said.

Many of the letters were in back issues lost to fires, but Twain scholars picked through archives of other Western U.S. newspapers for copies. They have found about 110 columns written in 1865 and 1866.

In one letter, Twain gives detailed dialogue between two gold speculators trapped in a shaft, clinging to rope tied to an old horse named Cotton.

Opinions

Cinema women are more than strong

I

n honor of the recent release of “Avengers 2: Age of Ultron,” which features a very strong woman by the name of Black Widow, I thought this was as good a time as any to discuss the representation of women in cinema.

For years, there has been an outcry against the portrayal of women in film, particularly in action movies where women often serve the purpose of being no more than a damsel in distress. Critics of these portrayals wanted women to do things for themselves. They wanted women to be strong.

This outcry for strong cinematic women grew and led to a new type of cinematic woman.

Along came a flood of beautiful, butt-kicking women who resided primarily in action films.

They could fight the bad guys and all the while never put a hair out of place. There were also the successful but distant businesswomen of romantic comedies. These women seemed to have everything figured out, except for their love lives. While these characters seem like they might be the perfect solution to Hollywood’s female representation problem, I argue it is not.

One of the problems with these strong women is they take the meaning of the word very literally.

These females can go toe-to-toe with the best of them, but the audience often has no idea what motivates them to do what they do or be who they are. All the audience knows about these women is

Jemima Johnson they can fight and dish out a sassy one-liner every now and again.

Not long ago I read an article

by Shana Mlawski called “Why Strong Female Characters Are Bad for Women.” In the article, Mlawski argued that instead of strong female characters we need weak ones. In this context, weak doesn’t mean characters who can never do anything for themselves or always need someone else to save them. By weak, Mlawski meant deep, vulnerable and flawed.

Instead of weak female characters or strong female characters, I argue to just call them complex female characters. Characters who have a long list of goals, dreams, values and flaws often conflicting with each other.

Women are not just charming klutzes, cold businesswomen or stoic spies. These types of women exist, but there are more to them than these characteristics and more types of women out there besides these.

Women can be the successful, stressed-out lawyers who break down sometimes when they watch their favorite childhood sitcom.

Women can be the wives and mothers who decide to go back

to school after 20 years. Women can be the struggling artists trying to get their creative projects noticed. Women can do anything and be anything.

Anyone on this earth can do anything and be anything they want to be, regardless of any societal category they might fall under. The push for women to be considered more than strong is about just that.

Many people don’t see the point in making a big deal of how women are represented in cinema. After all, they are just fictional characters — a product of a writer’s imagination. This is true — these characters are fake.

But the people who make them are not.

The fiction we create is largely a reflection of our society and its views, conventions and problems.

If women can’t be represented as more than damsels-in-distress or butt-kicking bombshells in a fictional world, then chances are women probably aren’t viewed very well in the real world.

I haven’t seen Avengers 2 yet and I can’t wait to see all of the heroes in action — especially Black Widow. But even though I am happy to see her beating up evil alien invaders, I love her just as much when she is beating herself up over the mistakes she’s made in her past.

Good cops still exist in society today Mark Tijerina

she could easily be hiding a true, underlying hate for you and you will never know. Your boss could possibly secretly have a prejudice against heavy-set women or Asian men, but you will never really know. So how can we enforce a law against discriminatory acts of hate?

They only way to enforce a better justice system that eliminates discrimination is to rely on the aid of the “good” police officers who actually uphold the truth of the law and integrity of their morale.

It is terrible to realize we live in a world where there are actually “good cops” and “bad cops,” but this is the harsh reality and we have to begin dealing with it now.

To begin identifying the separation of good cops and bad cops, people must realize not every police officer is deliberately trying to attack and hurt citizens. Police officers exist to protect and serve the people who inhabit their city, and sometimes protection leads to death.

Michael Brown’s death was a highly debated case in which many believed the actions of Officer Darren Wilson to be influenced by his prejudice against black people. Sadly, individuals failed to understand the side of a

police officer attempting to save his life from an attack.

Compliance is important when dealing with police officers. If you do as you’re told or asked, then a simple traffic ticket can be quick and painless. However, people have different perceptions of police officers and a simple traffic ticket can easily lead to an arrest if non-compliance is jeopardized.

People who see cops as an enemy have a different attitude toward them and feel that police are here to cause chaos and trouble in their lives. Wrong — police officers are doing their jobs. Just as it is a student’s job to get work done and pass classes, it is a police officer’s job to uphold and enforce the law.

I cannot say there are no existing situations in which police officers take advantage of their authority and power. If someone finds that he or she is a victim of this situation, they should not be afraid to take a stand and fight for their rights. If you feel you are being or have been profiled by a police officer based on your gender, race or sexual orientation, then make your voice be heard.

We cannot wait for another Trayvon Martin or Freddie Gray to turn up dead in order to call for change — change has to be sought out now, but the only way change will be reached is if we rely on the help and assistance of good cops in order to eliminate the tyranny done by bad cops.

EDITORIAL BOARD

I

n the past three years since the Trayvon Martin incident, police officers have become increasingly feared by many instead of being sought out for safety purposes. The tyranny against minority subjects has been hyped and connected to police prejudice and brutality. Sadly, people are continuing to fail to acknowledge the “good” police officers here to protect us all.

It is argued that male minorities, particularly black men, have been the subjects of stereotyped scrutiny by police since before Rodney King. Racial profiling has been debated over the years and still has not reached a justified conclusion.

According to the NJBallet website, a group of federal lawmakers re-introduced legislation to ban the use of racial profiling, which would prohibit police from using ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation as a reason for stopping an individual and subjecting him or her to further investigation.

This would be an excellent measure to attempt — however, no law can stop the hidden prejudice or racism within an individual. Some police officers hold preconceived notions and perceptions of individuals based on their race, gender or sexual orientation, which cannot be eliminated simply by telling them to do so lawfully.

This is something existing in all careers, not just law enforcement. You never know the depths of an individual’s mind, he or

Government intervention needs to decrease

S

ociety needs to focus on providing its own form of monetary aid and not relying on the government to provide for every need. This particular type of ideology where the U.S. is a form of dependence for many has taken a toll on the national debt and also on the well-being of many citizens.

It seems to me that the more independent our society aspires to be, the more it is willing to take aid from the government, which is contradicting on many levels. As a result, this process does not allow the debt of our country to diminish, but instead steadily increase.

How can charities make a difference if they are constantly being hassled with legal boundaries about when, where and to what extent they can help alleviate issues that people face?

In an article in The Times Colonist, Bruce Campbell, Tim Gray, Eric Hebert and Julia Sanchez point out a couple of things hindering charitable institutions from doing what they originally sought out to do in their stated purposes.

“Many charities have acquired considerable knowledge about how government policies affect people’s lives and are well placed to assess and comment on those government policies. Their expertise is also a vital source of information to guide governments’ policy decisions…While the work of charities has enormous benefits for society as a whole, the environment in which charities work is not always supportive.

A confusing regulatory environment leaves many unclear on how proactively charities can advocate for policy change,” according to the article.

A byproduct of this intense interest the government has taken with welfare and charitable causes has not only blurred the lines of church and state re-

Kendra Kimberlin sponsibilities, but has also taken the power of individuals who run these organizations away.

This has been occurring since the Great Depression, where our government tries to help out and ends up taking on additional roles it fails to execute after the problem is resolved.

As a continuation of this comes what the economists call a “leviathan.”

In relation to this issue is the future of our country and how societal powers are truly limited. At this rate, we are giving up our individual rights in order to provide for ourselves either directly to the federal government or by allowing our rights to be regulated or monitored.

“Leviathan stirs again” is an article from The Economist website that sums up this problem of governments across the globe taking more and more power.

“Today big government is back with a vengeance: not just as a brute fact, but as a vigorous ideology…The obvious reason for the change is the financial crisis. As global markets collapsed, governments intervened

on an unprecedented scale, injecting liquidity into their economies and taking over, or otherwise rescuing, banks and other companies that were judged ‘too big to fail’… America’s federal government employs a quarter of a million bureaucrats whose job it is to write and apply federal regulations.

They have cousins in national and supranational capitals all round the world. These regulators act as force multipliers: a regulation promulgated by a few can change the behavior of entire industries,” according to the website.

We live in a land where freedom reigns for crying out loud. These rights are limited and may not be in “excess” for long.

Time at The Daily Toreador creates lifelong friendships B

efore setting foot on campus, I somehow landed a job as the photo apprentice at The Daily Toreador. I had no idea what to expect, let alone that I would spend the next four years of my life working there.

I was terrified as I walked through the doors of the old Student Media building, which now houses the wind energy department — yeah I’m that old. Everyone looked so cool, and as a “baba” freshman who was terribly shy and socially awkward, this experience

Emily de Santos was definitely out of my comfort zone. I didn’t talk to anyone that day or for the next couple of weeks to be honest.

Finally, after weeks of silence, the sports editor at the time, Jose, took pity on me and struck up a

conversation, marking my first interaction with someone other than the photo editor. It was a short conversation, but it was really what I needed in order to realize everyone I worked with wasn’t quite as intimidating as I had thought.

Two years later, after countless hours of wild art, photo assignments and convincing editors to hire my friends — Chantal and Luis, you guys are welcome for your jobs — I worked my way up to photo editor.

Luckily by that time, I had shed my shyness, refined my photogra-

“I just came out and rain was everywhere,” James Zertuche, a sophomore pre-physical therapy student from San Antonio, said. “I had to pull over on 19th.”

The unresisting storms were also supposed to create dangerous wind conditions throughout much of the Panhandle, bringing up to 60 mph winds with it. Along with that, storms were forming in parts of New Mexico and crossing the border into Texas, according to the National Weather Service.

There was also thunderstorm activity climbing in from the Southern parts of the panhandle.

Coming in from Seminole and Brownfield, another round of heavy rain was on its way to the Hub City, according to the National Weather Service.

Going into Tuesday, the storms are expected to bring in around one to two inches of rain at one time, bringing the potential for that rainfall to accumulate to close to five inches in areas that are repeatedly hit by storms, according to the National Weather Service.

There was a flash flood warning in effect in Lubbock on Monday and many drivers were encouraged to stay put and avoid the roads at all costs.

“It’s surprising to see how fast Lubbock’s roads flood,” Pat McCoy, a junior wind energy major from Katy, said. “Although the city has made improvements with drainage, there is a clear need of a better solution as climate change is upon us.”

LONDON (AP) — It’s a name that immediately evokes British royal history: Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, on Monday announced the name they picked for Britain’s newborn princess, a choice seen as a tribute to both Prince William’s parents and grandmother, the queen, as well as a link to Kate’s family.

The princess, the second child of William and Kate, will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, royal officials said.

The birth of Princess Charlotte marks a new chapter for William and Kate, widely seen as the monarchy’s most modern, popular couple. But the names they chose are firmly rooted in royal family history. Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles, appears to be a nod to the newborn’s grandfather, Prince Charles. The baby’s middle names honor Queen Elizabeth II, the infant’s 89-yearold great-grandmother, and the late Princess Diana, William’s mother and the baby’s grandmother.

Charlotte also features in Kate’s

family, as the middle name of her sister, Pippa Middleton.

The newborn princess is fourth in line to the throne after Charles, William and her older brother, 21-month-old Prince George.

William and Kate introduced the baby princess to the world Saturday evening, just 12 hours after Kate checked into St. Mary’s Hospital in London to give birth. The baby weighed in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces (3.7 kilograms).

Her name was warmly welcomed Monday by royal fans. Some were particularly pleased about the tribute to Diana, still remembered fondly by many. Diana, who died in 1997 at age 36, gave birth to William and Harry at the same London hospital where Charlotte was born.

“I so much wanted the name Diana to be in there somewhere,” said Munever Halil, 52. “I wanted it to be Elizabeth Diana, so I think it’s lovely.”

Charles Spencer, Diana’s brother, also approved of the choice.

“Perfect names. My 2-year-old Charlotte Diana will be thrilled at cousinly name-sharing,” he tweeted.

Abbey’s bells pealed and gun salutes were fired across London in honor of the newborn princess. In a display of traditional pageantry, dozens of deafening volleys were fired from Hyde Park and the Tower of London to mark the occasion.

The royal couple had kept the world guessing about the baby’s name until after both sets of grandparents got a chance to visit Kensington Palace on Sunday to meet their granddaughter.

Bookmakers face a large payout — Charlotte had been a frontrunner, alongside other guesses.

“Charlotte was the hot tip over the weekend,” said Ladbrokes spokeswoman Jessica Bridge, who estimated that the industry may lose 1 million pounds ($1.51 million) over the name. “We may have lost a fortune, but we’re paying out with a smile and wish the duke and duchess all the best.”

Another bookmaker, William Hill, said they were relieved because their top bet had been Alice.

Spokesman Rupert Adams said 5,096 bettors correctly guessed the name and his firm would pay out just over 100,000 pounds ($151,100).

Tech hosts men’s golf regional for first time

By EVERETT CORDER SportS Editor

Although several Texas Tech sports teams have qualified for postseason play throughout the 2014-2015 school year, the team with the longest active postseason streak on campus is the men’s golf team.

With a regional qualification this season the Red Raiders have now made the postseason for 14 straight years, all but one of the years coach Greg Sands has led the team.

“I think the guys have worked hard over the years, and the guys that started the streak back in 2002,” Sands said. “We’ve had a lot of good players, a lot of quality human beings that have put a lot of work in to keeping the streak going.”

This year is even more special, Sands said, because it is the first time The Rawls Golf Course has hosted a regional.

Golfweek Magazine named The Rawls Course No. 4 when ranking collegiate courses in the U.S., according to a news release from Tech Athletics, and the No. 2 course in Texas.

Sands said he is really proud of the course Tech calls home, and this tournament will be a good way for them to showcase it.

“That’s what Jerry Rawls envisioned when he built this golf course,” Sands said. “It’s something that the regular student could enjoy, but also something that we could have championships on.”

There are some things that may change about the course before the tournament begins on May 14 because of the rain Lubbock is getting, he said, and the course greens might also get updated to be firmer and faster.

“The good news is we’ll be here,” Sands said. “We’ll be able to practice as much as we want and we’ll be ready for whatever they throw at us.”

It worked out perfectly, Sands said, because Tech is hosting its first regional in the year he has one of his best teams ever.

Tech is the No. 2 seed for the Lubbock Regional, behind only Texas, who the Red Raiders have taken on in their last two tournaments.

Senior Clement Sordet leads the Red Raiders, according to the release, earning a third-place medal at the Big 12 Conference Championship along with a second All-Tournament selection. Sordet has finished in the top 10 in eight of Tech’s last 11 tournaments.

“The guys played really well in the match play out here. At one point I was concerned we would press and try too hard at home, but the guys played great,” Sands said.

“I think we’ve got that behind us and now we’re looking forward to the challenge of facing a team that’s probably playing the best in the country right now in Texas.” ➤➤@EvCorder_DT

Mavericks face tough offseason with need to add players A

fter the Dallas Mavericks season ended with another first round exit, once again they will enter the offseason having no idea what players will be on the roster next season.

The Mavs had a midseason trade for Rajon Rondo, which blew up in dramatic fashion in the playoffs. While the future of Rondo is uncertain, it is certain that he will not be in a Dallas uniform next season.

Since the team traded two key bench players and draft picks for Rondo, the Mavs must now search for a starting point guard and role players.

Many people have criticized Mark

Jeremy Krakosky Cuban and the Mavs organization for the risky trade, but the fact is the team was not going to make it out of the first round of the playoffs with Jameer Nelson as the starting point guard. Cuban had to make a trade and he did.

At the time, most people, including myself, thought the trade was a positive for the team.

Dallas does not build through the draft, they build through midseason trades. This trade just did not work out.

The Mavs have already started looking for their next starting point guard, whether that be Devin Harris, J.J. Barea or a newcomer.

From early reports, Barea is looking to re-sign with Dallas, but I believe his role should be a high-energy player who comes off the bench, not a starter.

Raymond Felton was expected to be the team’s starting point guard before he was injured, and then never really found a role on the team. I expect Felton to move on to another team.

Ty Lawson has reportedly talked

PICK UP

YOUR

2015 YEARBOOK May 1-15 First Floor Rotunda Media & Communication Building (north side of building)

about his desire to play for Dallas on his Instagram account, but there has been nothing official.

Lawson would not be a good fit for the organization because of his style of play and his off-the-court issues, especially if Monta Ellis is still on the team.

I believe a realistic starting point guard next season would be Reggie Jackson, Patrick Beverly or Mo Williams, all of which will be free agents.

Moving on to the shooting guard position, the Mavs best option is to re-sign Ellis. Whether the two-year Mav will opt in or out of his contract, he needs to be on the roster next season.

One reason is, without him, the Mavs offense cannot be nearly as dangerous.

Also, the free agent market for shooting

guards this offseason is extremely thin.

With Chandler Parsons likely to miss significant time next season, Ellis needs to be the team’s go-to scorer.

There have been rumors about Dallas attempting to try to sign LaMarcus Aldridge as their starting power forward next season. This would mean Dirk Nowitzki would likely have to take on a sixth man role.

This could be the most positive most for the organization in the offseason. I think Aldridge would be a great fit in the starting role and having Nowitzki coming off the bench could prolong his career. Nowitzki could still have success playing against backup power forwards and centers.

There have also been rumors about

the team pursuing DeAndre Jordan, who will be a free agent. If the Mavs were to sign Jordan, they likely would not keep Tyson Chandler.

I would love for the Mavs to have both players, but if I had to pick I would have to go with the younger Jordan and hope he develops into the leader Chandler has become.

If Dallas can find a way to make these moves, in addition to re-signing Al-Farouq Aminu, they can get past the Parsons injury and make a strong playoff push in the upcoming season.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The Spurs are facing their most uncertain future ever under Gregg Popovich.

San Antonio has only five players under contract for next season. Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili have not decided whether they will return or retire from their Hall of Fame careers. Potential franchise cornerstone Kawhi Leonard is expected to be back, but he is a restricted free agent coming off winning Defensive Player of the Year just one season after earning NBA Finals MVP honors.

It is all leading to the most upheaval in Popovich’s 19 years as coach of the league’s model franchise for consistency.

And Popovich can’t wait.

“I wish practice started next week,” Popovich said. “You do this for so long; you know already the kind of film you want to show them to start in September and the things you want to work on. It’s just the way a coach’s brain works, but it’s probably best to take a break for a while and not do anything, so, I’ll try to do that.”

Popovich was jovial, nostalgic and thoughtful Monday during his season-ending news conference for the five-time champions.

The Spurs’ defense of their latest NBA title came to an end Saturday night in the finale of a thrilling seven-game series against the Los Angeles Clippers. The team everyone has grown accustomed to seeing “will probably look considerably different” next season, Popovich acknowledged.

Along with Duncan and Ginobili, the team’s list of free agents includes Leonard, Danny Green, Marco Belinelli, Cory Joseph and Aron Baynes. The only players under contract are starters Tony Parker and Tiago Splitter along with key reserves Boris Diaw and Patty Mills and rookie Kyle Anderson.

While Leonard is expected to remain under a max contract, Duncan and Ginobili’s returns are not so certain.

“We haven’t talked to the guys about that,” Popovich said.
