Tech announces sole finalist for next university president

By MCKENZI MORRIS Editor-in-Chief

C

hancellor Robert Duncan emailed a statement out Thursday announcing he and the Board of Regents have named a sole finalist for the next university president after a special board meeting was called.

Lawrence Schovanec, current university provost and senior vice president, will be the 17th president of Texas Tech University, according to a press release about the sole finalist selection.

Schovanec has previously served the university as interim president, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences and chair of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics according to the Office of the Provost’s website. He has been a Tech faculty member since 1982 according to the release.

“It is truly an honor to be selected as the sole finalist for the president position at Texas Tech University,” Schovanec said in the release. “I came to Texas Tech more than 30 years ago and

have witnessed this university grow tremendously over the years thanks to the achievements and continued dedication of our students, faculty, staff and supporters.

We have much to be proud of and an even greater future ahead. I am truly humbled and thank Chancellor Duncan and the Board of Regents for this opportunity.”

Duncan said in the release that the decision to name Schovanec as the sole finalist came after a thorough national search, which included assistance from students, faculty, deans, regents, alumni and other university supporters.

The presidential search committee reviewed nominations from all the applicants for the position, according to the release, and after conducting interviews and considering recommendations and applications, they presented their top candidates for Duncan and the Board of Regents’ consideration. Sitting presidents and provosts of major universities were some of the people considered, according to the release, but names were not released.

“I thank my fellow members of the search committee for their commitment during this process and for helping to identify the best candidate to lead Texas Tech University,” Tim Lancaster, member of the Board of Regents and chairman of the president search committee, said in the release.

State law requires 21 days to pass before the Board of Regents can take formal action on introducing Schovanec as the next president, according to the release, but Duncan said after that time Schovanec will officially become the next president of the university.

While provost for Tech,

Schovanec helped Tech achieve Tier One recognition from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education in the Highest Research Activity category according to the release.

“Dr. Schovanec has a proven record of success as a leader in higher education and has a long history of accomplishment with Texas Tech,” Duncan said in the release. “We share the same bold vision for elevating Texas Tech to new heights, and I am confident he will build on the current momentum we’ve achieved over the last several years to create an even brighter future.” @DailyToreador

Nightclub raises funds for Orlando victims Travel-related Zika appears in Lubbock

By MICHAEL CANTU News Editor

ANTHONY ESTOLANO/ THE DAILY TOREADOR

By MICHAEL CANTU News Editor

In the face of an Orlando massacre that left 49 people dead a small amount of people around the country have now been able to comprehend the events of the morning of June 12.

There have been massive contributions to the families of the victims and to the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, according to the GoFundMe website.

There has been over $4 million dollars donated to the official account started by Equality Florida, according to the website.

And after a small hiatus from one of Lubbock’s LGBTQ friendly nightclubs, Club Luxor, Sunday night, the club is set to host a fundraiser Friday evening, Nadar Dajani co-owner of the club said.

“We are going to match

the proceeds dollar for dollar,” Dajani said. “When we make the donation we are going to post the receipt online.”

Luxor, located at 2211 4th St., is also the same location as Ohm nightclub and bar. The two share the same location and alternate names — Ohm on Thursdays and Saturdays and Luxor Friday and Sunday. However, Luxor has an overall gay-club theme to it, General Manager Eric Leon said.

After news of the events in Orlando surfaced, management at Luxor decided to keep the club closed for the evening, Leon said.

Though there were other nightclubs that opened Sunday evening, Dajani said, there was no special event at Luxor that was forcing them to open their doors. One concern he had, Dajani said, was someone else was going to use the

massacre as a catalyst to try and recreate a similar act of violence.

“Precaution was my main concern, as I mentioned there are a lot of people out there trying to get the wrong attention,” Leon said.

Because of other media that were inquiring about Luxor, Leon said, it was difficult to compose themselves to be able to open up for the night. Because Orlando was such a huge blow to the LGBTQ community it was out of respect it was decided not to open the club, he said.

However, he said their decision was not one made out of fear.

There are a lot of familiar faces that pass through the nightclub, which makes it feel as though patrons are tightknit, Leon said. This usually means security measures for Luxor and Ohm

are not extremely tight.

Though they do have security personnel stand guard near entrances and exits, he said there is minimal precautions they take that impede on people’s having a good time.

“We do not profile at all.

But we do definitely take into account when things seem out of place,” Leon said. “To me whenever you’re coming to a nightclub it’s not necessary to carry excess baggage.”

Because of that there are no backpacks allowed into the club, Danjani said.

Personnel also take time to check the inside of jackets (especially during the summer) and purses, he said.

However, just to take precaution, Leon said management is going to have to sit down and think of ways to make sure people cannot bring weapons into the club.

The Lubbock Health Department confirmed a case of travel-related Zika virus in Lubbock County on Thursday.

This comes only a few months after Governor Greg Abbott pulled together an infectious disease task force to work on a vaccination for the virus, according to the Associated Press. As of June 16, there have been 44 reported cases of the virus, with the highest area reporting 13 and Lubbock reporting 1, according to the Texas Department of State Health services.

The Texas Department of State Health Services reports Zika is primarily spread through mosquitos bites mostly from mother to child, though blood transfusions and sexual contact cases have been reported. “(Zika spreads) when people traveling anywhere not local,” Katherine Welch, director of public health with the Lubbock health department said.

“The public knows to take precautions with the general mosquito population.”

The important thing to note about this particular case, Welch said, is it was contracted while the person was traveling. This means it will not spread easily throughout Lubbock and the surrounding areas.

“It was only a matter of time before someone would

come back with (the virus),” she said.

The department has been planning for months since Zika became an international concern, she said. They have put up literature about the subject on their website and have sent various information to health providers throughout Lubbock and the surrounding areas.

We l c h a l s o s a i d t h e healthcare providers in Lubbock will always need to work with the health department when something like this comes about.

However, Welch said, this particular virus case has been contained.

“There are specific mosquitos that can transmit the virus,” she said, “and we have had that in Lubbock, historically.”

Not every mosquito can carry the virus, she said, however it is not long enough into the summer season to fully comprehend the amount of mosquitos that have the potential to carry it.

It is important to get rid of standing water around homes and other areas where people might be, she said, and to also wear Environmental Protection Agency regulated bug repellent.

“Mosquitos that can travel really like to be around homes,” Welch said, “and they can travel very far.”

For more inquiries about the virus, Welch said to visit the website www. texaszika.org.

Fire chief discusses fire, grill safety

By COURTNEY WINGATE Staff Writer

Summer is heating up and so are the grills. While everyone is picking the menu for their grilling parties, a majority of grillers will forget to take the proper safety precautions around grills and fires.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), every three in five homes have at least one gas-burning grill, leading to a higher risk of home fires and injuries. In fact, the NFPA states that on average 8,900 homes are caught on fire by grilling.

That is why when grilling, safety is important.

“When grilling, always be aware of your surroundings,” Lubbock Fire Department Chief Steve Holland said. “Keep your grill away from porch railings and wall sidings.”

It is also important to keep in mind about surrounding vegetation and combustibles, Holland said, because each one of these items can easily start a fire.

“Never leave a grill unattended and keep a water source near, in case of a fire,” Holland said.

When working with a charcoal grill, Holland said always make sure the coals being burned are cold to the

“In the nightclub industry it is just not possible really to have anybody armed (on patrol),” he said. “Anybody that will tell you that it is possible is kind of giving you

touch before disposing, and once they are they can be disposed of in any trash bin.

“If you are needing to dispose of the coals before they have time to cool down,” Holland said, “fill a metal container with cool water and pour the warm coals in.”

Never leave a grill unattended and keep a water source near in case of fire.

Steve Holland Lubbock Fire Department Chief

According to the NFPA website, gas grills contribute to a higher number of fires than charcoal grills. Holland said if a gas grill catches on fire there are several different things you can do to calm the flames after calling 911 such as putting on gloves and closing the lid to smother the flames.

For gas or propane grills, Holland said the best thing to do is to safely turn the nozzle off on the propane tank. Grease fires are also common when grilling outdoors, Holland said.

“Do not use water to lip service.”

Especially once school is back into full session in August there will be more security measures for the club, he said. At the moment though, attendance does make it easy for security personnel to keep an eye on people from when they enter the club to when they leave.

Leon said once the club does go back into the full swing of things he expects

reduce the flames because it will allow the flames to spread and possibly slush onto someone,” Holland said. “You can extinguish grease fires with a fire extinguisher or baking soda.

However, do not use flour because it is combustible.”

NFPA code 1:10.11.6.1 states no grill or similar devices used for cooking, heating or any other purpose can be used on a balcony, under an overhanging roof or within 10 feet of any structure.

This code particularly impacts people living in apartments, because the City of Lubbock follows these rules.

Lyndsay Snyder, employee at Bentwood Apartments, said their complex follows all of the city fire codes and like to be prepared in case of an emergency.

“We do require renter’s insurance just in case of a fire,” Snyder said.

These precautions should be followed be everyone to make sure they are protected from a fire, Holland said, but they are especially important when grilling in the summer.

“If you have any questions on fire and grill safety, please contact the local fire department,” Holland said. @DailyToreador

attendance to stay the same and says there is no reason for people to be frightened to go to a nightclub.

“I feel that there is no need to be afraid. Our security is always going to be upheld to the highest degree,” Leon said. “But there’s always going to be a need to escape from your everyday routine.” @MichaelCantuDT

Federal judge dismisses Texas’ lawsuit over Syrian refugees AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas can’t keep out Syrian refugees, a federal judge has ruled, dismissing concerns state Republican leaders’ sounded over hidden extremists following the Paris attacks and revived this week by Donald Trump following the nightclub massacre in Orlando, Florida.

Te x a s w a s t h e f i r s t state to sue the Obama administration over resettlements, though nearly 30 states vowed to ban Syrian refugees after the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris killed 130 people. But U.S. District Judge David Godbey threw out the lawsuit in an order signed Wednesday, ruling that Texas had no authority over resettlements that are handled by the federal government.

Similar challenges by other states have also sputtered: Indiana’s attempts to bar state agencies from helping Syrian refugees have been blocked by a federal judge, and the Obama administration is seeking dismissal of an Alabama lawsuit that is nearly identical to the one filed in Texas.

“This ruling is a strong rebuke of unconstitutional efforts to block refugee resettlement. It sends the clear message to other states that such attempts are not only un-American, they are contrary to the law and will fail in court,” said Cecilia Wang of the American Civil Liberties Union, which represented a nonprofit resettlement organization in the Texas case.

torney General Ken Paxton said the state is now considering its options.

“I am disappointed with the court’s determination that Texas cannot hold the federal government accountable to consult with us before resettling refugees here,” Paxton said.

The Obama administration says refugee vetting is rigorous and can take up to two years.

Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate who has renewed his call for a temporary ban on Muslim immigrants following the Orlando shooting, supporters at Wednesday in Atlanta that the United States is taking in thousands of refugees when they “don’t think like us” and we don’t know “who the hell they are.”

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia became the first major American city with a soda tax on Thursday despite a multimillion-dollar campaign by the beverage industry to block it.

The City Council gave final approval to a 1.5 centper-ounce tax on sugary and diet beverages.

Only Berkeley, California, had a similar law. Soda tax proposals have failed in more than 30 cities and states in recent years. Such plans are typically criticized as disproportionately affecting the poor, who are more likely to consume sugary drinks.

But Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney sold the council on the idea with a plan to spend most of the estimated $90 million in new tax revenue next year to pay for prekindergarten, community schools and recreation centers.

“Thanks to the tireless advocacy of educators, parents, rec center volunteers and so many others, Philadelphia made a historic investment in our neighborhoods and in our education system today,” the mayor said after the vote.

Baylor scandals impact more than football

3 babies born in US with birth defects caused by Zika NEW YORK (AP) — Three babies with birth defects caused by Zika have been born in the U.S., the government reported Thursday in its first accounting of pregnancy outcomes involving the virus.

Birth defects from Zika were also seen in three other pregnancies that ended.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been tracking the pregnancies of women with Zika infections since the beginning of the year. So far, 234 pregnant women — residents and visitors — have been diagnosed with Zika.

Some babies have been born with no immediate signs of problems, according to the CDC’s Dr. Denise Jamieson, but she would not say how many. Most of the pregnancies are ongoing.

All the cases are connected to travel to areas with outbreaks of the mosquito-borne virus, primar-

ily Latin America and the Caribbean. There’s been no local spread of Zika in the U.S. The health agency provided few details about the women, their pregnancies, the birth defects or their severity. Three cases ended in “pregnancy loss” but the CDC did not say whether it was from miscarriage, stillbirth or abortion.

Jamieson said the six cases of birth defects involved some women who had not experienced Zika symptoms. Most people infected never develop symptoms. Others get a fever, rash, joint pain, or red eyes, and recover within a week.

But during the Zika epidemic in Brazil, the virus was identified as a cause of fetal deaths and potentially devastating birth defects.

In its birth defects numbers, the CDC is counting a range of conditions. Chief among them is microceph-

aly, a severe birth defect in which a baby’s skull is much smaller than expected because the brain hasn’t developed properly.

But also in the count are calcium deposits in the brain; excess fluid in and around the brain; abnormal eye development; and other problems resulting from damage to the brain that can include clubfoot or inflexible joints.

The CDC’s Jamieson said the numbers are concerning but consistent with what’s been seen in other countries affected by Zika outbreaks.

Researchers estimate that for every 100 pregnancies involving women infected early in their pregnancy, 1 percent to 15 percent will develop severe birth defects.

The CDC report appears to include the two known cases of babies born in the U.S. with Zika-caused birth

defects. One was a baby girl born to a Honduran woman at a New Jersey hospital.

The other was born in Hawaii to a woman who had lived in Brazil. Jamieson wouldn’t confirm the two were included, but said the cases meet the criteria.

The virus is spread mainly through the bite of a tropical mosquito called Aedes aegypti. It can be found in the southern United States, but there’s no evidence that they’ve been spreading the virus in the U.S. yet.

Overall, 756 cases of Zika have been reported in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. All were people who had traveled to outbreak areas, or who had sex with someone who did.

In Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories, 189 pregnant women are among those infected with Zika; the CDC did not report on birth defects there.

Baylor scandals impact more than football Three more women are filing against Baylor, saying the school did nothing for them after they filed reports of being sexually assaulted on campus. The lawsuit alleges, according to the Associated Press, that the university violated Title IX’s anti-gender discrimination regulations.

Baylor cannot seem to keep their name out of the headlines and the issues facing the school no longer revolve around sports. These allegations are serious and, if true, Baylor and the administration should be ashamed. The school must take action if they want to keep any shred of dignity they still have as a university.

Baylor ’s spokeswoman Tonya Lewis declined to comment on the latest allegations according to the Associated Press, but she did say the decision for victims to report their attack to anyone is a brave choice and the school had already begun to implement changes to provide a safe environment for their students.

If this is really true though, they should not be considering a suspension for coach Art Briles rather than full-out termination, which is what they are currently discussing.

The issues facing Baylor are larger than one man or one football program and allowing Briles back on campus is not going to help their cause or rebuild their image.

This is no longer about what the athletic department allowed or not, and it most certainly no longer just a sports issue. It is about the fact that a university, as a whole, is not doing everything in its

power to protect its students.

In fact, they seem to be doing more harm than good.

The school, a Christian higher education institution, has failed the people on campus by choosing to not protect them. They were and continue to be more concerned with being an elite school with an even more elite football program and it backfired.

There is nothing else to say other than that is not right.

A school should be about more than the championships they win on the field.

They are supposed to be a place of learning and acceptance, which Baylor clearly does not care about very much.

The public and the university should take these Title IX violations seriously, even if they are not found guilty. It shows that victims of sexual assault are still being put on the back burner and left to fend for themselves. That is not how they should be treated, especially by a university that supposedly cares so much about them.

The one good thing to come out of the recent Baylor incidents is that the world is starting to recognize sports are not everything. There is more to lost than a football game. People’s safety could be at stake and that should mean more than a potential national championship.

After attack, theme parks weigh alligator warnings LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — It’s an unwritten rule for Florida residents: Keep your kids away from ponds and lakes because alligators are everywhere.

But after a gator killed a 2-year-old Nebraska boy at a Walt Disney World resort, attention soon turned to tourists. In a state with an estimated 1 million alligators, how should theme parks and other attractions warn visitors, and did Disney do enough?

Disney beaches remained closed Thursday after the death of Lane Graves, and the company said it was reviewing policies that do not currently include posting alligator warnings around park waters.

The review “includes t h e n u m b e r, p l a c e m e n t and wording of our signage and warnings,” Jacquee Wahler, vice president of Walt Disney World Resort, said in a statement.

Local law enforcement and state wildlife officials publicly praised the company for spotting and removing nuisance gators from park waters.

Disney’s wildlife management system has ensured “that their guests are not unduly exposed to the wildlife in this area,” Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said during the search for the child.

Yet Kadie Whalen, who lives in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, saw no evidence of that system when she visited Disney World with her family four years ago.

Whalen said her three young children and niece were playing on a resort beach at the water’s edge with buckets and shovels provided by Disney workers when the beady eyes of a 7-foot gator appeared in a lake just a few feet away. She screamed and everyone scattered.

Baseball set to start College World Series

By MCKENZI MORRIS Editor-in-chief

The Texas Tech Red Raider baseball team will start the College World Series against conference rival TCU on Sunday at 2 p.m.

The Horned Frogs handed Tech their first loss in Omaha when the team went in 2014, but Tech won the conference series this year, taking two out of the three games.

Despite the history between the two teams, senior catcher Tyler Floyd said they are looking at Sunday’s game as any other matchup.

“We know a lot about them and they know a lot about us so it will be interesting to see how that plays throughout the game and even throughout the week preparing for them,” Floyd said. “We have a lot of stuff scouting-wise on them and so do they so it’ll be interesting.”

There are several upperclassmen on the team that went to the College World Series and senior left fielder Tyler Neslony the mindset this year is different for the senior class.

In 2014, the team was just glad to be there Neslony said, but now they are there with one goal in mind.

“This year the guys that have been through it know we have what it takes to win

it all and that’s our plan to try and win the whole thing,” Neslony said.

In the Lubbock Super Regional, Tech started three freshman pitchers. With a lot of youth on the team, Floyd said some of the older guys are hoping to share some advice to help them settle in once they get to Omaha.

He said there are be a lot of distractions once you get there with having people right in your face all the time and all the media surrounding you, but they are ultimately there on a mission and the team knows that.

“I think the main message we’ll send is ‘hey we’re here to play baseball. Although this stuff is great and is fun, at the end of the day we’re trying to win games.’”

TD Ameritrade Park has a capacity of 24 thousand according to its website, but senior pitcher Dalton Brown said one of the best things about playing in front of so many people is having the Tech fans that travel to the games in the crowd.

“I think it kind of makes it feel like you’re at home a little bit when you have that section up there cheering for you no matter what happens,” Brown said. I think that helps you as a player. Sometimes you’re doing bad but they’re still up there

Members of the Texas Tech baseball team run to the pitcher’s mound to celebrate their 11-0 win over East Carolina in the Lubbock Super Regional championship game on June 12 at Dan Law Field. The win secured them a spot in the College World Series for the second time in program history, and they will open the tournament against TCU on Sunday at 2 p.m. cheering for you.”

In the fall, coach Tim Tadlock came up with the team motto ‘water the tree.’ Senior first baseman Eric Gutierrez said the motto means to consistently grow and get better and eventually the tree will grow

into something great.

He said the team is going to carry that mindset through the week and hopefully all their hard work will pay off in Omaha.

“It has to do with more than baseball, it’s outside too. It’s a

lot of love, it’s just like watering a tree,” Gutierrez said. “You have to love to water the tree because if you don’t it’s not gonna grow.”

The team has six seniors on the team, all of which were a part of the 2014 team.

Brown said getting to go twice is the chance of a lifetime.

“For us seniors it’s where you want to go out,” senior pitcher Dalton Brown said, “but we’re striving to win some more ballgames this year and see where it takes us.”

Premium pitching on display at CWS OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — For all the walk-off hits and grand slams that have highlighted the NCAA baseball tournament so far, the stage is set for pitching to take over when the College World Series opens Saturday.

Thirteen pitchers who will be in Omaha were taken in the first 10 rounds of the Major League Baseball draft, with No. 1 national seed Florida leading the way with six, including five in the first four rounds.

There are the high-quality freshman and sophomore arms sprinkled throughout all eight teams.

Throw in the fact that the wind usually blows in this time of year at the spacious TD Ameritrade Park, and conditions are ripe for dominant pitching.

Big 12 pitcher of the year

and third-round pick Thomas Hatch (8-2, 2.04) and seventh-rounder Tyler Buffett (8-3, 3.15) have been a formidable 1-2 combination for Oklahoma State in the national tournament. Miami has impressive depth, and UC Santa Barbara has been led by a fourth-round pick in Shane Bieber (12-3, 2.84).

ESPN college baseball analyst Kyle Peterson said the raw talent level among college pitchers is significantly higher than it was 10 to 15 years ago.

“There are more kids who throw harder,” he said. “You see it in the major league draft, you see it in the major league bullpen. There’s more velocity in the game.”

Some of the hardest throwers are freshmen.

TCU closer Durbin Felt-

man touches 97 mph, Arizona’s Cody Deason hits 93 and Coastal Carolina’s Jason Bilous regularly is in the low 90s after having Tommy John surgery in 2014.

Peterson, who pitched at Stanford in the mid-1990s, said it was extremely rare to see someone throw 95 mph during his college career. He said greater emphasis on weight training and year-round baseball has resulted in a greater number of hard throwers.

“The wow factor of velocity now is so much higher than it was 10, 15, 20 years ago,” he said. “It’s not like a mile and hour. Once, if you threw 90, you threw pretty hard. Now it’s 95. That’s a pretty big jump.”

Florida has perhaps the deepest pitching staff to ever come to the CWS.

Briles rips Baylor, claims wrongful termination AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Fired Baylor coach Art Briles ripped his former employer Thursday, accusing the school of wrongful termination and indicating he has no interest in settling a federal lawsuit filed against him and the university by a woman who was raped by a football player.

In a motion filed Thursday as part of the lawsuit, Briles said he wants new attorneys separate from the school, and his personal attorney said Baylor was using the coach as a scapegoat for its failings in handling allegations of sexual assault.

“The conclusion is inescapable that the motive of Baylor and the Board of Regents was to use its head football coach and the Baylor athletic department as a camouflage to disguise and distract from its own institutional failure to comply” with federal civil rights protections, Briles lawyer Ernest Cannon wrote to Baylor’s attorneys in the latest development in a scandal that has gripped the world’s largest Baptist university for months.
