SMITH’S STOCK RISING
Tech’s breakout star appears to be locked in as Lottery Pick By AUSTIN WATTS Managing Editor
After a breakout freshman season at Texas Tech, Zhaire Smith’s draft stock appears to be nearing top ten status as the 2018 NBA Draft approaches. He is nearly a lock to be the highest player drafted from Tech since Tony Battie went fifth overall in 1997. Smith initially declared for the draft after being mocked as a late teens/early 20s projected player. In a somewhat shocking move, Smith decided to hire an agent on April 17, just 13 days after declaring for the draft. With his official hiring of an agent, Smith forewent his college eligibility and easily became one of the more intriguing prospects of the 2018 class. While initially Smith’s strong ascent during the 2017-2018 season made him appear to be a top prospect in the 2019 class, a strong finish to the season on college basketball’s biggest stage catapulted him into consideration as one of the most athletic players available this year. Smith’s performance against Florida in the NCAA Tournament will be remembered as the top game of his collegiate career, with an 18 point, nine rebound and seven assist effort in a win that sent Tech to the Sweet 16. The assumption was that Smith would remain at Tech for at least one more season, but his quick ascent coupled with his athleticism caught the eye of the NBA, and before many
fans even realized he was thinking of entering the draft, he was gone. Smith is the first “one and done” prospect in program history, having gone from an under-the-radar player prior to the season to Tech’s first player to be drafted in 14 years. After declaring for the draft, several teams took note of Smith’s raw athleticism and defensive prowess, with reported pre-draft visits to the Phoenix Suns, Philadelphia 76ers, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards, New York Knicks, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers and more. Teams picking in the top 20 have done their homework on Smith, and with the draft quickly approaching, Smith appears to be seen as a consensus top 15 pick. Smith projects as a shooting guard in the NBA, with the size, vertical and athleticism to be a four-position defender. In the modern NBA, defensive versatility is at a higher premium with the emphasis on defensive switches, so Smith’s versatility to not be exposed when guarding other positions will be his biggest value as a top 15 prospect. Smith’s offense in college was predicated on aggressively driving the rim and strong play in the paint, but his ability to shoot the three was strong, while under used.

Tech to face Arkansas in College World Series winner’s bracket By MCKENZI MORRIS Editor-in-Chief
For the first time in program history, the Texas Tech baseball team is playing in the winner’s bracket of the College World Series. After defeating top-seeded Florida, 6-3, on Sunday, June 17, the Red Raiders will play Arkansas at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 19, at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska. “That’s one game. Really proud of our guys the way we went out and competed,” Coach Tim Tadlock said after game
one. “We were going to have to do that each inning to come out on the right side of that and also have some good fortune. I think we had that.” The Red Raiders and Razorbacks are familiar with each other, having played earlier this season in Fayetteville. Tech lost, 5-1, and the second game of the midweek tilt was cancelled. Arkansas won the April contest after scoring five runs in the first two innings. The Tech pitching staff was able to keep the Razorbacks off the board for the rest of the game, but the Red
Raiders were unable to produce much on offense and scored their one run on only four hits. Defense was an issue for Tech in the earlier contest. The team posted four errors during the contest. In the College World Series, the Red Raider offense came out swinging against one of the top pitchers in the country, Florida’s Brady Singer. The team recorded 12 hits, including three from sophomore outfielder Grant Little. Tech’s pitching helped secure its first opening-round victory in the College World Series. The starting duo of Dylan Dusek and
Ryan Shetter threw a combined 6.1 innings and gave up two runs on four hits. Then Ty Harpenau came in to close things out in the seventh and allowed only one run on one hit for the rest of the game. The bullpen will need to continue to be strong in order for Tech to beat Arkansas, a team that posted 15 hits against Texas. An eight-run sixth inning helped push the Razorbacks over the Longhorns, something they have done multiple times this postseason. The vast majority of the time at the College World Series,
teams that win game one go on to win the championship. Tadlock said his team knows that and they are thankful for the position they’re in. “They don’t take it for granted that we’re in the position we’re in,” Tadlock said. “And they respect the game of baseball. And that’s probably really what it comes down to. There’s not too many guys in there after you win the night are going to say, hey, we got this figured out. They know you’ve got to go respect the game, play nine innings.” @McKenziMorrisDT

Resources available for dwelling test anxiety By NATHAN NEEDHAM Staff Writer
As many students and professors know, test anxiety can create crippling effects on test takers that can cause them to score below what they are capable of on exams or standardized tests. During their collegiate careers, students are required to take regular class exams frequently. Many students that wish to continue their education in fields such as law, medicine or business may also have to take other standardized tests such as the MCAT, GRE or LSAT. Because of this, 18 percent of students battle high to moderately-high test anxiety, according to the American Test
Anxiety Association. Jeremy Sedeno, an academic counselor with the TECHniques Center at Texas Tech, said many people experience test anxiety of some sort and the symptoms can vary with each person. “Most people do suffer from some degree of test anxiety,” Sedeno said. “This can range from a mild nervousness to a full-on panic.” Battling test anxiety can be accomplished through things such as allotting extra time for studying and learning what study techniques are the most effective, but sometimes it can require further intervention. There are several ways to battle test anxiety, Sedeno said, but the main thing is
knowing what works best for each individual. His main tip for people with test anxiety is to avoid waiting until the last minute to study. “It is very important to know techniques to reduce your own anxiety and fortunately there are several ways in doing so — one of them would be studying correctly. You have to have good notes, attend class and leave plenty of time for studying,” Sedeno said. “Some students like to cram and that is not good if you suffer from some sort of test anxiety.” College students across the nation are affected by test anxiety and have battled it in their own ways for many years. Preparing for exams can
be difficult for people with test anxiety, Tolu Oyebode, a senior management major from Katy, said. But if she takes her time studying and remains confident, she can work through it. “Test anxiety has affected me since high school in the sense that I can study for days or months and I would still feel less prepared, even though I would know everything,” Oyebode said. “I can handle it by looking at when the exams will be, take my time and study it over and over and over again, to make sure I know everything by heart, it still affects me but not quite as much.” There are many oncampus resources for Tech students to battle test
anxiety. These include the TECHniques Center and the Learning Center. Patrick Bohn, associate director of the Learning Center, said students who battle test anxiety should use the resources they have available to them, be as prepared as possible, maintain a healthy lifestyle and stay positive when preparing for a test. “One of the ways to prevent that kind of anxiety is to be prepared as much as possible,” Bohn said. “Students sometimes have bad habits that inherently make the anxiety much more than it needs to be. Mentally one thing you could do is stay positive and focused, stay healthy and allow for personal time.”
Even with expert tips to follow on the internet and resources on campus, students are still subjected to stress, which is the leading cause of test anxiety. To help keep stress from impacting their test scores, Bohn said students should learn what stress does to them and how much they can handle, Bohn said. “Stress is important to have at low levels. It is always going to be there in any situation. For some people it really affects them mentally,” Bohn said. “Finding for yourself how much stress you can control and removing the extra stuff that causes you not to do well is important.” @NathanNeedhamDT

Redistricting changes headed to the ballot in several states
dies during study abroad trip
A U.S. Supreme Court ruling Monday on redistricting lawsuits in Wisconsin and Maryland comes as several states already are considering changes to the criteria and processes that will be used to draw legislative districts after the 2020 Census. In most places, the state legislature and governor are responsible for redistricting U.S. House and state legislative seats. More than a dozen states primarily use boards or commissions to redraw state legislative districts, and about a half-dozen do so for congressional districts. Here’s a look at proposed redistricting measures that already have been — or are likely to be — placed on ballots this year: COLORADO Issues: Two proposed constitutional amendments placed on the Nov. 6 ballot by the state Legislature affecting congressional and state legislative redistricting. Status quo: Congress: four Republicans, three Democrats. State Senate: 18 Republicans, 16 Democrats, one independent. State House: 36 Democrats, 29 Republicans. Current process: For Congress, the state Legislature
Elmer Arrieta, a Texas Tech graduate student studying architecture, died after he fell on a hiking excursion to Olkhon Island. Arrieta was participating in a UT Austin study abroad program in Irkutsk, Russia and was on the hike with 20 other students. “It’s with heavy hearts that we remember Elmer Arrieta, who tragically passed away in Russia yesterday,” Tech wrote in a post on its official Twitter page. “He was a dedicated architecture
student and a respected and cherished member of our Red Raider family. Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.” Both Tech and UT Austin have been in close contact with Arietta’s family and UT Austin will be sending counselors to offer support to the students that are still on the trip. Both schools are also offering counseling services for any students, faculty or staff who may need the support. @MattSetzekornDT

‘Incredibles 2’ crushes animation record with $180 million LOS ANGELES (AP) — The combined powers of superheroes, the Pixar brand and a drought of family-friendly films helped “Incredibles 2” become the best animated opening of all time, the biggest PG-rated launch ever and the 8th highest film launch overall.
Disney estimated Sunday that the film earned $180 million in its first weekend in North American theaters — far surpassing industry analysts’ loftiest expectations which had the film pegged for a $120 to $140 million debut.
passes a redistricting plan by a majority vote, subject to a gubernatorial veto. For the Legislature, House and Senate districts are drawn by an 11-member commission consisting of four bipartisan legislative appointees, three gubernatorial appointees and four members chosen by the chief justice. Maps are automatically submitted to the state Supreme Court for review and, if rejected, the commission is given another chance to draw maps. Proposed process: For both Congress and state legislative chambers, a 12-person commission — consisting of four Republicans, four Democrats and four independents — would be selected from a pool of applicants. Half would be chosen randomly and the rest by a judicial panel. Nonpartisan legislative staff would draft proposed maps for the commission’s approval, which would require at least eight votes including two from independents. The state Supreme Court then would review the maps to determine whether legal criteria were followed. If not, legislative staff would draft a new plan for the commission to submit to the court.
Proposed criteria: Districts would have to be nearly equal in population, compact and as much as possible preserve communities of interest such as racial and ethnic groups and whole cities and counties. The commission also would have to “maximize the number of politically competitive districts.” OHIO Issue: Constitutional amendment affecting congressional redistricting, approved by 75 percent of voters on May 8. Status quo: Congress: 11 Republicans, four Democrats, one vacancy. Old process: State Legislature passes a redistricting plan by a majority vote, subject to a gubernatorial veto. New process: State Legislature passes a redistricting plan by a three-fifths majority with support of at least half the members of the majority and minority parties, subject to a gubernatorial veto. If that fails, districts are drawn by a seven-member commission composed of two majority and two minority party lawmakers, the governor, auditor and secretary of state; approval requires four votes, including two each from majority and mi-
nority party commissioners. If that fails, the Legislature may pass a plan by a three-fifths vote with the support of at least one-third of the majority and minority party members, subject to a gubernatorial veto. If that fails, the Legislature may pass a plan by a majority subject to a gubernatorial veto, but it would remain in effect for only four years instead of 10. New Criteria: Districts must protect racial minority voting rights, be compact and contiguous, and limit the number of counties and cities that are split among multiple districts. MICHIGAN Issue: Petition signatures submitted for a proposed constitutional amendment on the Nov. 6 ballot affecting congressional and state legislative redistricting. The state appeals court has ordered that it be certified for the ballot, but an appeal is pending with the Michigan Supreme Court. Status quo: Congress: nine Republicans, four Democrats, one vacancy. State Senate: 27 Republicans, 10 Democrats, one vacancy. State House: 63 Republicans, 46 Democrats, one vacancy.

Director: FBI won’t repeat errors noted in watchdog report WA S H I N G T O N ( A P ) — The FBI is determined to not repeat any of the mistakes identified in a harshly critical watchdog report on the handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, Director Chris Wray said Monday at a congressional hearing. Wray said the FBI accepts the findings of the Justice Department inspector general report and has begun making changes, including about how the FBI handles especially sensitive investigations. The bureau is also reinforcing for employees the need to avoid the appearance of political
bias, a key point of criticism in last week’s report. “We’re going to learn from the report and be better as a result,” Wray said. The report blasted FBI actions during the 2016 investigation into whether Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate, had mishandled classified information on her private email server when she was secretary of state. It said anti-Donald Trump text messages exchanged by FBI employees who worked on the investigation cast a cloud on the agency’s handling of the probe and damaged its reputation. It also said that
fired FBI Director James Comey repeatedly broke from protocol, including when he publicly announced his recommendation against charging Clinton and when he bucked the judgment of Justice Department bosses by alerting Congress months later that the investigation was being reopened because of newly discovered emails. But the report found that the July 2016 decision to spare Clinton from criminal charges was not tainted by political bias or considerations. Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who joined Wray at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Monday,
said there are lessons to be learned from the 500-page report, including about respecting an institution’s hierarchy and norms. “No rule, policy or practice is perfect,” Horowitz said. “But at the same time, neither is any individual’s ability to make judgments under pressure or what may seem like unique circumstances.” The report was the culmination of a nearly 18-month investigation by the Justice Department’s internal watchdog into how the FBI handled one of the most consequential investigations in its history.

Talking openly about suicide first step in addressing it
A
famous fashion designer committed suicide earlier this month. A beloved chef and travel author committed suicide. A Honduran immigrant separated from his wife and son at the Texas border committed suicide. According to the most recent CDC report, these are just a few of the nearly 45,000 people estimated to commit suicide within the U.S. this year. How do we discuss suicide openly and meaningfully without being held back by the great sense of discomfort we feel just seeing the word? Most of us would rather avoid the discussion than acknowledge or talk directly about the issue. And it is a very real fear. The current nature of our society and the social stigma that comes with this discussion has us afraid of how others may respond or view us for even bringing it up. That is something I consider for myself just as I type this. But that instinct to hold back and shy away from
Robert Avila is a third-year law student from San Antonio.
the discussion– and the larger discussions of anxiety, stress and depression growing in our society– leave us with a gaping void in truly understanding and finding meaningful ways to address suicide. When we look narrowly at the individuals and talk about the suicide of Kate Spade or of Anthony Bourdain, many of us ask the same question – why would a person with everything in the world want to take their own life? We admire these people for who they are, but with how we disconnect them emotionally from their work, we have no way of knowing exactly what goes through the mind of these people contemplating suicide. Most of us simply wonder why anyone with the amount of fame or money they had
would end their own lives. When we discuss Marco Antonio Muñoz, the Honduran immigrant separated from his family by the current administration’s zero tolerance policy at the border, the conversations are no longer the same. We don’t ask ourselves what was going through his head when we read about his suicide, and we don’t form the same emotional thoughts or connections to him. In this discussion it seems as if most of us simply understand the reason this man ended his own life. We are now learning more about the issues with depression Spade and Bourdain faced. We know that both of them were seeking help for their mental issues. We do not have this same information of Muñoz other than our understanding of the difficulty he was faced with. Maybe what we can take from these completely different people, with completely different lives, is that whether we can understand
simply the difficulty they faced or not, we need to better understand the environmental, social, and biological factors that can led three very different humans to make the same choice.
Most of us would rather avoid the discussion than acknowledge or talk directly about the issue. That understanding starts with an open discussion, such as this one. It’s a discussion I’ve actually seen being had in the comment sections of articles on Facebook, Reddit and the New York Times website. A mental health worker discussed
her own suicide contemplation through burnout over years of working long hours, many pro bono, without a raise or benefit. A Reddit user talked openly about coming home from work exhausted without money or energy to spend on free time. These are the types of discussion that broaden our understanding not just of mental health issues like depression and anxiety, but of the society to which these issues are imbedded. When we broaden the conversation on suicide, we end up staring at broader societal issues such as an increase in the amount of social isolation, economic stress and anxiety, an increase in fear and shame-based media, things to which we can’t seem to mentally escape from. For social psychologists, this is best described by the Baumeister’s theory that suicide isn’t a person’s means to end their life but rather, a means to escape from the desperate stress of painful
thoughts and feelings they have. A pattern of negative thoughts and feelings about themselves in the world which for those with them, there seems to be no other escape. The determinate element in this theory is the ability to manage thoughts and feelings, or rather the inability to do so, leading to attempts of suicide to which, the first steps to managing these are things like psychotherapy, social support, medication or a suicide hotline. All of these things begin with a discussion from the person who needs help. And for others, that means the best way to address suicide is to start our own discussions as a society– to have these conversations without fear of what others might think. We need to speak openly about things that create extreme psychological distress and to simply open the door for others to create their own discussions. @DailyToreador

Leisure Pool needs updates, repairs UN says over 25,000 people fled Yemen I have enjoyed and used the Leisure Pool at the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center since its opening in 2009. But now, as a father of a 2-year-old toddler who enjoys playing in the water, it is very disappointing to see the conditions of the bathrooms and showers that my family and I encountered during our most recent visits.

I have asked several times since 2017 when the splashpad/jets/ pumps will be repaired but no one has been able to provide me with an answer. I really encourage the facility director to address this situation as proper, working facilities are im-

Not only that, it will also help with the recruitment of future students, faculty and staff members.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — The U.N. spokesman said on Monday that tens of thousands of residents have fled the fighting along Yemen’s western coastline where Yemeni fighters backed by a Saudi-led coalition are engaged in fierce battles with Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman for the U.N. Secretary-General, told reporters on Monday that about 5,200 families, or around 26,000 people, have fled the fighting and sought safety within their own districts or in other areas
in Hodeida governorate. “The number is expected to increase as hostilities continue,” he said. Emirati troops, along with irregular and loyalist forces in Yemen, have been fighting against Houthis for Hodeida since Wednesday. Coalition warplanes rained missiles and bombs on Houthi positions near Hodeida airport, in the city’s south. The offensive for Hodeida has faced criticism from international aid groups, who fear a protracted fight could force a shutdown of the city’s
port and potentially tip millions into starvation. Some 70 percent of Yemen’s food enters via the port, as well as the bulk of humanitarian aid and fuel supplies. Around two-thirds of the country’s population of 27 million relies on aid and 8.4 million are already at risk of starving. Dujarric also said that U.N. Special Envoy in Yemen Martin Griffiths will be giving a briefing to the Security Council from Sanaa. Griffiths arrived on Saturday and aims at avoiding an all-out-assault in Hodeida.

Trump announces plans for ‘Space Force’ Israel arrests former govt. minister for Iran spying CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Vowing to reclaim U.S. leadership in space, President Donald Trump announced Monday he is directing the Pentagon to create a new “Space Force” as an independent service branch aimed at ensuring American supremacy in space. Trump envisioned a bright future for the U.S. space program, pledging to revive the country’s flagging efforts, return to the moon and eventually send a manned mission that would reach Mars. The president framed space as a national security issue, saying he does not want “China and Russia and other countries leading us.” “My administration is
reclaiming America’s heritage as the world’s greatest spacefaring nation,” Trump said in the East Room, joined by members of his space council. “The essence of the American character is to explore new horizons and to tame new frontiers.” Trump had previously suggested the possibility of creating a space unit that would include portions equivalent to parts of the Air Force, Army and Navy. But his directive will task the Defense Department to begin the process of establishing the ‘Space Force’ as the sixth branch of the U.S. armed forces. He said the new branch’s creation will be overseen by Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. “When it comes to defending America, it is not enough to merely have an American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space,” Trump said. He added: “We are going to have the Air Force and we are going to have the Space Force, separate but equal.” The president also used the White House event to establish a new policy for reducing satellite clutter in space. The policy calls for providing a safe and secure environment up in orbit, as satellite traffic increases. It also sets up new guidelines for satellite design and operation, to avoid collisions and spacecraft breakups.
JERUSALEM (AP) — A former Israeli government minister, once imprisoned for trying to smuggle drugs, is back behind bars after being charged with spying for archenemy Iran, the country’s internal security agency said Monday. The Shin Bet said Gonen Segev was extradited from Guinea and arrested upon arrival in Israel last month on suspicion of “committing offenses of assisting the enemy in war and spying against the state of Israel.” It said Segev, a former energy minister, acted as an agent for Iranian intelligence and relayed information “connected to the energy market and security sites in Israel including buildings and officials in political and security organizations.”

The statement said that Segev maintained connections with Israeli civilians who had ties to the country’s security and foreign relations. It said he acted to connect them with Iranian agents who posed as businessmen. Israel and Iran are bitter enemies, and the allegations against Segev are extremely grave. Israel considers Iran to be its biggest threat, citing Iranian calls for Israel’s destruction, Iran’s support for hostile militant groups like Hezbollah and its development of long-range missiles.

SMITH
CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Smith will take some time to develop offensively with a lack of natural playmaking ability, but he should be able to contribute immediately defensively to most NBA rotations. Further boosting Smith’s stock was an impressive combine performance, as
Smith had some of the best combine results of any guard at the 2018 NBA Combine, albeit coupled with slightly worse than expected measurables. Smith’s maximum vertical leap of 41.5 inches came tied for third among all combine attendees, while his three-quarter sprint was the second fastest of those in attendance.
SPORTS Smith measured in at 6-foot-3, which is smaller than his listed height of 6-foot-5 on Tech’s official roster. Despite his smaller than anticipated measurements, Smith’s insane athleticism will more than mask his shortcomings in his play. Smith is one of around 20 players invited to attend the NBA Draft on Thursday, June 20, in
New York. When Smith’s name is called, likely in the first 15 picks, he will go on stage and receive his draft jersey from the team that selects him. Smith is not the only Red Raider in the upcoming draft, as he is accompanied by several seniors, including point guard Keenan Evans. Evans is recovering from a foot in-
@TheDT_sports www.dailytoreador.com jury that required surgery after the season. Recovering from the surgery caused him to not be able to take part in combine and pre-draft workouts with other teams. Unlike Smith, Evans projects as late second rounder in Thursday’s draft. While his time as a Red Raider was short, Smith leaves Tech with several
accolades and records. Smith will be the first Red Raider drafted since Andre Emmett in 2004, and only the second Red Raider taken in the first round. Smith set the program single season record for points by a freshman with 417 points in his one and only season in the red and black. @AustinWattsDT
