exas Tech’s Beta Alpha Chapter of Alpha Omega Epsilon hosted the Puppy Run on Saturday to raise money for the Morris Safe House Animal Rescue.

Shelby Thompson, a junior chemistry major from Dallas, has been a member of Alpha Omega Epsilon for the last three years and brought her two miniature English bulldogs, Peaches and Fergie, out for the race.

“I think it’s a fun event that lets the dogs meet other dogs and get some exercise,” Thompson said. “I’m really excited because I haven’t got-

ten to see my dogs since Christmas.”

The Morris Safe House Animal Rescue is a non profit no-kill animal rescue facility that provides dogs of Lubbock with 10 acres of climatecontrolled indoor facilities as well as outdoor enclosures, fresh food and water and clean bedding, according to the Morris Safe House Facebook page. It is located at 3420 Nightingale Road.

The Morris Safe House provides owner-care, not shelter-care, for all the dogs it rescues, meaning it treats every dog as its own until the dog finds a loving forever-home, according to its Facebook page.

Last day for US voter registration Tuesday

By KODICHI NWANKWO Staff Writer

As the 2016 United States presidential election gets closer, voters have a limited amount of time left to register to vote.

According to www.votetexas. gov, in Texas, individuals must be registered to vote at least 30 days before election day.

Now, voters have until Tuesday, Dorothy Kennedy, Lubbock County Elections administrator, said.

“In Texas, you have to be registered 30 days prior to an election in order to be eligible to vote,” Kennedy said, “but there is an exception to every rule and that is if the 30th day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it moves to the next Monday.”

Students can register to vote a few different ways, Kennedy said.

They can go to the Secretary of State’s website, download the application, fill it out and mail it in, or they can go to the Elections Office at 1308 Crickets Ave. and fill out a registration application, she said.

Even though today is Columbus Day, Kennedy said, the office will still be open with extended hours Monday and Tuesday.

“We will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. both Monday and Tuesday — the 10th and the 11th — so we can help all the students get registered,” she said.

Joshua Benstowe, a junior political science major from Dallas, said he will register to vote today.

During the last Obama Presidential election, Benstowe said he was not old enough to vote.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION

Association revises previous senate resolution after supreme court error

By REECE NATIONS Staff Writer

The Texas Tech Student Government Association looks to move on from past mistakes after the third meeting of its 52nd session.

The meeting was 6 p.m.

Thursday in the College of Media & Communication.

SGA President Ben Sharp addressed the student senate in the meeting. In his report of the executive branch, Sharp explained that justices appointed to last year ’s SGA supreme court were never properly sworn in, essentially invalidating their nominations.

“In even numbered years, usually the president is allowed to appoint four justices to the supreme court,” Sharp said during the meeting. “How-

e v e r, a f t e r the resolution to elect l a s t y e a r ’s new justices was passed, those people SHARP were never officially sworn in. So therefore, we don’t have a viable supreme court in place at this time.”

The SGA senate then proceeded to vote to remove the, now void, acting supreme court officials.

Originally, the resolution called for Austin York, Cody Tanner, Nicole Osborne, Barclay White, William Wilder, Molly Madsen and Ryley Bennet to comprise the SGA supreme court, according to legislation.

After the vote to remove the nullified officials was made, the senate then proceeded to establish legiti-

mate justices to the court.

According to the revised resolution, Osborne and Bennett will be joined by Garrett Couts and Laura Parton to constitute the supreme court, with Osborne serving as Chief Justice.

“Due to a legitimacy issue, the resolution we passed in our last meeting requires further revision,” Evonne Heredia, chief of staff for SGA, said during the meeting. “Basically what (the revision) is doing is reinstating four names to be appointed to the court this year. Nicole Osborne is a junior and is therefore capable of serving the twoyear term of chief justice.”

The justices now serve on a partially vacant court with further appointments to be made in the future, Heredia said. The vacancies can only be filled in an odd numbered

CAMPUS

year, according to article IV of the SGA constitution.

An amendment to article IV will be added in the future, she said. The amendment will grant the president special authority to fill vacancies on the supreme court should a similar indiscretion occur in subsequent years.

“The terms of the justices who were nominated but never officially appointed will still be honored by the student senate,” Witt Westbrook, SGA internal vice president and president of the senate, said. “These are Red Raiders who assumed the duties of the court and exemplified the highest content of character, integrity and honor.”

The justices who were unable to serve their full two-year terms were appointed under 2014-2015

student body president Hayden Hatch, according to the legislation. Parton, Couts and Bennett will serve a one-year term as a result of the modified resolution.

The SGA constitution mandates judicial power shall be vested in a supreme court, which has jurisdiction over any inferior courts established by the senate. Members of the supreme court are to be appointed two weeks prior to the first fall meeting of the senate.

“A full and functioning judicial branch is essential to proper operation of the Student Government Association,” Westbrook said. “We hope that after the constitutional amendment passes, we’ll be better prepared for any possible oversights in the future.” @ReeceNationsDT

“I was not old enough to vote at that time, but I am old enough now, so I will,” Benstowe said.

Benstowe said he is not sure which candidate to vote for because he likes Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for different reasons.

It is common for people to be unsure of who they will to vote for, Kennedy said, but there are other races on the ballot in Lubbock County.

“The local government affects people more than a presidential election because local government affects everybody’s day-to-day lives a whole lot more than the level of the federal government,” Kennedy said.

There are some state races and federal races that are important outside of the presidential election that the students can get involved in, she said.

It is permissible to leave some fields bank on the ballot, Kennedy said. The ballot still counts.

Not voting is allowing one’s least favorite candidate the opportunity to win, Kennedy said.

“You can always go and have lunch or breakfast and meet with your school district or a city council member or a county commissioner,” Kennedy said.

“But it is really hard to get a lunch date with the governor or the president.” @DailyToreador

First Friday shines light on local artists

By ARIANNA AVALLE Staff Writer

First Friday Art Trail, hosted from 6-9 p.m. on the first Friday of every month, brings together art students, aficionados and collectors from the Lubbock community. In addition to featuring artworks by well-known artists, the Art Trail offers students an opportunity to share their artworks with other enthusiasts.

This Friday, The Community Health Centers of Lubbock exhibited the art of James Johnson, a painter and Tech alumnus. Johnson said he went to college to study chemistry but then he got talked to get into an art course. The teacher recognized talent in him and encouraged him to take a studio art course.

“I did that and I fell in love with it. I quit chemistry and switched to art and never looked back,” Johnson said.

“I came to Tech for graduate school in 1978.”

Tech has a great art program with amazing facilities and great structures, he said.

It is a top level art school.

“To me (art) is a way of life. It is something where there is no perfect answer.

You can work on it forever and try to get better without reaching perfection,” Johnson said. “Anybody can make

art, and it depends how much you want to get into it. If you want to do it professionally, you don’t have to (go) college first but it certainly helps.”

Johnson said he likes painting because it captures moments that do not occur in reality. While photographs are based in reality, paintings are moments of the imagination that do not move and last for hundreds of years.

“It’s not like a movie or a song, a media that is time dependent,” Johnson said.

“A painting is an object that will be that way for long time.

There is beauty in the fact that it doesn’t change.”

Urban Tech is another Tech organization that was showcased at the First Friday Art Trail. Juan Raymon, the program coordinator, said Urban Tech typically has two exhibits: artist of the month and works of Tech students.

Urban Tech is a studio that comprises faculty members from the College of Architecture as well as undergraduate and graduate students.

“Our project is based on Clarendon, Texas. We worked with the Clarendon economic development corporation,” Raymon said. “They funded us and the historic preservation program of the College of Architecture to create a revitalized downtown for their historic buildings.”

The purpose of the project

“Small towns are dying in America so let’s do something. Now the incentive for doing this is money. Tourism is a billion-dollars business industry in Texas alone,” Raymon said. “Clarendon wants to be a tourist attraction, so this project is about creating a prehistoric district and showing them what a revitalized downtown can look like.”

If the town gets the his-

toric district, the federal government will fund the project, he said. With the help of these funds, historic buildings can be saved.

“My favorite part about Urban Tech is working with real people and real projects.

These are not projects that you do in a studio or in a class and you never see them again,” Raymon said. “These are city council members and million-dollar business investors that come here, and they want to learn more about to make a better life and a better downtown. That’s what

RUN

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 The race began at Urbanovsky Park at 9 a.m., and participants were encouraged to bring their dogs along.

There were two available routes: the 1-mile walk and the 5k run.

Justin Lingnau, a senior mechanical engineering major from Andrews, brought his Great Dane along the 1-mile walk.

“I’ve been to this event before, but this is the first year with my dog,” Lingnau said. “It’s been good for him to have some social interaction with everyone.”

The members of Alpha Omega Epsilon waited at the finish line with gift cards for the first two finishers of the race. The chapter also judged a dog as well as human costume contest and encouraged every attendee to participate in yard games galore.

Local businesses like Caddy Delivery, SarahBelle’s Boutique and United Supermarkets Pet Club raffled baskets of dog toys and treats to the runners and their furry friends.

Kathleen Darcy was one of the representatives for the United Supermarkets Pet Club and said the club members greeted between 50 and 100 people before the event even began.

“We’re handing out bags with Frisbees and treats for the dogs as well as coupons for their owners,” Darcy said. “I didn’t bring my dog this year, but I have a silver lab and an Akita at home that I would’ve loved to dress as ballerinas.”

Alpha Omega Epsilon is a professional and social soror-

ity composed of female engineering and technical science students, according to the Alpha Omega Epsilon Orgsync. The Beta Alpha chapter promotes the advancement of its members’ careers and academic achievement as well as the development of lifelong friendships.

“I was on the committee that organized this event last year, and I just love it,” Thompson said. “The sorority

offers a great sense of community for its members.” @DailyToreador

Zane Robles, a senior architecture major from Pampa, is new to the Urban Tech team. He said he enjoys being part of Urban Tech because it tries to make better design and more efficient and eye-catching architecture for the buildings.

“With Urban Tech, we are constantly working to learn something new. This could be difficult at times, but also rewarding,” he said.

Andrea Arredondo, a sophomore undeclared major from Lubbock and an artist,

showed her works at the exhibition “Celebración” hosted by the Buddy Holly Center.

“My piece is about how death can be beautiful. A lot of people see death as an ugly, sad thing,” she said. “The sad thing about death is what is left behind, but what actually happens to your soul in my opinion is very beautiful.”

Día de los Muertos celebrates the ones who have and are experiencing peace.

Arredondo wanted to go a different direction than the other artists, so her piece has a dark instead of the typical bright theme. She said there are always two sides to every object, bright and dark.

“My favorite thing about art is the way it makes me feel,” Arredondo said. “It’s my escape from everything. It makes my mind focus just on creating something that my soul is seeing and not having to worry about anything else.”

The exhibition “Celebración” is about Day of the Dead. Artists have different opinions and views on this event, so there is a wider array of art pieces. On the Day of the Dead, people celebrate those who have died.

“It’s our chance to be with them for one more night. We build altars sometimes, and we put out their favorite things to celebrate one’s life,” she said.

There are none, if you discount fictional characters like Mother Goose and Alice in Wonderland.

Even a heroic dog has its place amid the park’s 843 acres of greenery, but every one of the 23 statues or busts of real humans in the park

honors a famous man.

Some Girl Scouts are now trying to change that. They’ve joined activists raising money for a park monument to two women who revolutionized the country: suffragists Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.

Personal day proves beneficial for students

I

wrote this column from my bed.

To be more specific, I wrote this from my bed, at noon, on a Thursday.

Why, you might ask?

Why was she still in bed at noon on a Thursday?

I wasn’t sick, I wasn’t in some emotionally unstable state — well, not really — and I wasn’t taking a nap. I was taking a personal day.

A personal day is when people decide that for their own personal health they need to take a day for themselves.

It sounds lazy because it is. It’s the most extreme form of laziness one can subscribe to.

Everyone, it’s October.

That means midterms and research papers and — God forbid — group projects. We’re balanc-

ing jobs, extra-curricular activities, classes and personal lives.

It’s that magical time when we start questioning our futures and wondering what we were thinking by pursuing a higher education.

What makes us so special to think we deserve more out of life?

W h a t ’s w r o n g w i t h us to willingly putting ourselves through four years of this?

That, my friends, is the perfect time for a personal day, that moment right between the why-God-why and the I’m-dropping-out stages.

The important things to remember when trying to have a successful lazy day are as follows: They don’t come often, they happen right before your breaking point and they don’t last for more than a day.

A personal day is when people decide that for their own personal health they need to take a day for themselves.

The scarcity of personal days is what makes them so special; if I took a personal day three times a week, it would just mean I’m a lazy bum who has no

drive to do anything productive at all.

However, doing them once every couples of months is perfect.

By that point, I feel as though I’ve earned it by working my butt off for months. I deserve a darn break.

The timing of a personal day is extremely important.

You can’t do it when y o u d o n ’t n e c e s s a r i l y need it because then it won’t have the relaxing effect it should.

However, waiting too long is no good either.

If you’ve waited too long, you’ve probably already said something horrible to your roommate because you were so stressed or blown off your mom when she was worrying about you because you didn’t want to

face your problems.

You can’t enjoy a personal day when you’re dealing with the mess you’ve made.

M o s t i m p o r t a n t l y, though, a personal day is just that: a day. One, single day.

Saying that you’re taking a personal day and then resurfacing three days later is not the correct way to go about this.

It’s one day of laziness and minimum human interaction; one day of ignoring your email and taking BuzzFeed quizzes about what kind of pizza you are.

Then, we have to return to the real world the next day.

Now, if you happen to time your personal day on a Friday and it happens to bleed into

the weekend, do with that as you will. I’m not your mother.

I won’t tell you to get off the couch on a Saturday and do something productive. You do you.

I’m a strong supporter of the personal day.

I believe it should be mandated as excused absences in every syllabus.

T h e r e ’s s o m e t h i n g about binge-watching “Homeland” like I’m considering joining the CIA and eating my weight in popcorn that puts things into perspective.

Everyone needs a day to regroup; there’s nothing wrong with that.

Do it the right way, and you’ll be refreshed in no time.

Happy Netflix-binging, everyone. hbritzky@dailytoreador.com

Tech fans must remember to ‘Strive for Honor ’

B

ecause my parents are Longhorns and I grew up in the College Station area, most of my family and friends were a little apprehensive about my attending Texas Tech.

I was warned by my parents and high school classmates that Tech fans are notorious for their rude behavior during their football games.

As someone who knows very little about college football, I was not too familiar with any particular college fan base.

So, before coming to Tech, I did a little research on Tech’s football fans.

I found that Tech is consistently ranked as having one of the meanest fan bases.

One website named Tech the eighth rudest college football team.

When I told some of

Hannah Deeter is a freshman journalism major from Wheelock.

my friends this, and they were shocked to hear that we weren’t even closer to the top of that list.

Many students I have talked to take pride in our fans’ somewhat aggressive attitudes toward our rivals.

Although I found this information a little bit disappointing, I wanted to see our fans’ behavior firsthand before I made an assumption.

So, I went to the Louisiana Tech game to see Texas Tech fans in action.

I was impressed by the band, the cheerleaders and — most of all — the beautiful horse that gracefully galloped across the

field. The student section was buzzing with happy, loyal fans decked out in Tech gear.

Everything seemed to be going well until the actual game started.

When Louisiana Tech walked by our section, fans put their Guns Up and gave them the Tech version of the middle finger and then promptly booed the team off the field.

Some fans gave them the actual middle finger and shouted profanities.

Then, the band came back on and the students began to sing a rewritten version of the Tech fight song.

They replaced the traditional lyrics with absurd profanities.

Next came the tortillas.

I saw fans pull tortillas out of the most uncomfortable of places — pants,

undies, bras — and launch them into the air.

Before I set foot on the Tech campus, I thought the idea of tossing tortillas onto the field was a repulsive display of poor sportsmanship.

When Louisiana Tech walked by our section, fans put their Guns Up and gave them the Texas Tech version of the middle finger and then promptly booed the team off the field.

However, I realize now that most fans don’t view it that way.

While the tortillathrowing brigade start-

ed out as a retaliation against an ESPN announcer ’s comments about Lubbock, fans nowadays throw the flour UFOs just for fun.

So, even though I will never throw a tortilla, I no longer consider the tradition rude.

And I must clarify, not everyone in the student section was rude.

Many of us — like myself — were there just there to enjoy the game.

However, that Louisiana Tech game was my first Tech football game, a n d , h o n e s t l y, i t w a s probably my last.

My older brother — a Longhorn — wants to go to the Texas game with me, but after seeing our fans’ behavior, I feel like even Joyland would be a better alternative.

I admit I’ve only been to one college football

game, and I’m sure Tech fans are not the only rowdy ones out there.

Personally, I faced a lot of “persecution” growing up as a Longhorn in the heart of Aggieland and — when I lived in Fort Worth — my family was frequently harassed by Sooners fans.

Some argue it’s all in good fun or it’s just friendly competition.

However, we need to be reminded that our motto is “Strive for Honor.”

Ye l l i n g , b o o i n g a n d showing poor sportsmanship is not honorable and is far from friendly.

Tech is a wonderful university with many loyal fans, but instead of berating our rivals, we should show them what it really means to strive for honor. hdeeter@dailytoreador.com

Millennial voters are dropping the ball this election

M

y personal ideas on politics have evolved past singing about bills sitting on capitol hill, but what has not changed is my belief that everyone should vote.

Voting is only one of our abundant rights, but it seems as if almost all of my generation does not believe voting matters.

This is a real alarming problem because while everyone is screaming and crying for change, the only real way to obtain change is to vote.

There are countless social movements shaking up U.S. right now, but this doesn’t seem to be motivating more Millennials voting to vote, strangely.

Daylan Holman is a sophomore architecture major from Detroit.

I always wonder as to the source of this reluctance to vote.

Is it education, surroundings, awareness, parenting or just flat-out laziness?

Almost 90 percent of Americans aged 25 and above have at least a high school diploma, but having a high school diploma does not actually guarantee someone has been properly educated on how to vote.

At my high school, we all had to take U.S. government. Our teacher

would have us register for a voting card once we turned 18.

Therefore, I was properly educated on how to vote, but in my friend Cameron’s school district about 30 minutes away this was not the case.

Cameron also had to take U.S. government, but his teachers did not help him register to vote or explain how to register to vote.

Now, years later, he has to figure out how to register in order to cast his vote for this pivotal election.

Even if this is the same problem my peers are facing, it is still not a reason for them not to vote because registering to vote is not as compli-

cated as it may seem.

I suppose it makes sense that someone’s upbringing and surroundings can affect his mentality about voting.

I was raised to vote no matter what because my voice and opinion matters.

My parents made sure I understood that our forefathers fought for our right to vote.

I do understand that not everyone is instilled with the importance of voting, and I also understand that everyone has things that could pull their attention away from things like voting, but we must take the time to vote.

Our government really tries to make vot-

ing as convenient as possible with options such as early voting and mail-in voting.

Now, if we’re just being lazy, that’s a different story.

I was raised to vote no matter what because my voice and opinion matters.

Having had many conversations with my peers, I know we all have very strong opinions on who we think should be in office.

However, it is truly

mind boggling that these same opinionated people will not be casting their votes but still dare to complain about the outcome.

I believe the solution which will help the next generation take full advantage of the right to vote is high schools across the nation changing part of their curriculum to teach the importance of voting.

They must help every eligible student register to vote. With this small change, I believe we will see a huge increase in 18 to 25 year-olds voting.

Obama describes Trump as insecure, not fit for president CHICAGO (AP) — President Barack Obama said Sunday that he’s having a hard time believing some of the rhetoric coming from the top of the Republican presidential ticket, saying that nominee Donald Trump has demeaned women, minorities and immigrants, mocked the disabled and insulted veterans.

“I don’t need to repeat it — there are children in the room,” he said to laughter.

Obama then listed an array of groups that he said Trump has insulted during the course of the campaign.

He didn’t directly address a video obtained by The Washington Post and NBC News that was made public Friday showing the Republican

presidential nominee bragging about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women.

“He’s insecure enough that he pumps himself up by putting other people down,” Obama said.

Obama spoke at a fundraiser for Rep. Tammy Duckworth, the candidate he hopes will win his old U.S.

through advertising revenues generated by the student sales staff with free campus distribution resulting from student service fees.

Tech features 19th-century Texas artwork

By ALYSSA ACOSTA Staff Writer

Pink sunsets, red landscapes, green mesquites and grazing longhorns are all featured in the work of Texas artist Frank Reaugh, now displayed in the National Ranching Heritage Center.

The Frank Reaugh exhibit opened Saturday evening in the NRHC and just in time for the showing of the documentary “Frank Reaugh: Pastel Poet of the Texas Plains” at the Flatland Film Festival.

“We really did not plan it coinciding with the documentary,” Scott White, director of collections, exhibits and research at the NRHC, said.

“There’s a lot of things about Reaugh that are getting regional, state and even national attention.”

Charles Franklin Reaugh and his family moved to Texas in 1875, and he began painting with pastels the

landscapes of West Texas.

Reaugh was a naturalist, an inventor and an educator and was known as a renaissance man, White said. “(Reaugh) had a really good eye for recording the landscape and the livestock,” White said. “He came at a time when the West was still fairly new.”

While most artists paint the West out of nostalgia, Reaugh was there to document a time before the landscapes were touched by man.

Marla Fields, director and producer of “Frank Reaugh: Pastel Poet of the Texas Plains,” said while filming the documentary, the filmmakers found the untouched landscapes Reaugh had once painted now had phone lines and wind turbines covering them.

“It is so key that his work is preserving a landscape that is not there anymore,” Fields said.

While Reaugh was a tal-

ented artist himself, he is also known as the Dean of Texas Painters because of the many pupils he taught who went on to become famous artists like Reveau Bassett, Olin Travis, Edward G. Eisenlohr, Alexander Hogue and Oscar Griffith.

“His influence on a lot of other painters has started to become recognized,” White said.

Reaugh died in 1945 as a virtually unknown artist and was abandoned by his former students, Fields said. Although his work was featured in the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, it was noticeably absent at the Texas Centennial Celebration 1936 in Dallas.

Reaugh brought important art institutions to the Dallas area such as The Frank Reaugh Art Club, The Dallas School of Fine Arts and the Striginian Club, Fields said.

“Sometimes when we get older, the giants they

The Frank Reaugh display was unveiled on Saturday afternoon in the National Ranching Heritage Center. Reaugh's paintings were generally landscapes of the American West. just get forgotten,” Fields said. “I do feel like he was just forgotten.”

Reaugh’s works are now split between three Texas institutions: Tech, Univer-

sity of Texas at Austin and West Texas A&M University, White said.

The NRHC features more than 120 art pieces by Reaugh and will continue to

display them until May. “I think it is time to celebrate Reaugh,” Fields said.

“Our goal is to make Frank Reaugh a household name.” @AlyssaAcostaDT

LOUISE HOPKINS UNDERWOOD CENTER FOR THE ARTS

Film Festival brings film community together

By DAVID GAY L a Vida Editor

Filmmakers and film lovers alike came together for the 12th annual Flatland Film Festival, which was hosted from Thursday through Saturday by the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts.

According to the Flatland Film Festival’s website, the festival is a way for the community to support local artists and develop an appreciation for film.

Robert Peaslee, chair of the Department of Journalism and Electronic Media and Communication in the College of Media & Communication, served as the co-chair for the Flatland Film Festival.

Film festivals add to the cultural fabric of the city, Peaslee said, and the film community comes together through events like the Flatland Film Festival. It is a way for the community to be exposed to entertainment options it would not be able to find elsewhere.

“Whether you are a filmmaker or film lover, sometimes we get scattered in the city of Lubbock where there isn’t a huge film tradition,” Peaslee said. “You don’t know these other people are out here. If we can create a space where these people can come together and talk about film and collaborate on projects even, if they are creatives, I think that is the main goal.”

Paul Allen Hunton, general manager of KTTZ-TV and co-chair of the festival, said after two or three good years in a row, the program of films in this year’s festival are quality. The people who come to the festival are energetic about the films and enjoy the communal experience of watching films together.

The festival started Thursday with a 30th anniversary screening of David Byrne’s film “True Stories” in the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts. Jo Harvey Allen, an actress in the film who is from Lubbock, participated in a Q&A session after the screening.

To start off the festival, the committee that pick the films try to find films that have some sort of local connection, Peaslee said. With “True Stories,” there were many things that came together and made the choice an easy one.

“When we realized it was the 30th anniversary of the film’s release, it was kind of a no-brainer,” Peaslee said.

“We were actually trying to get David Byrne to come as well (as Jo Harvey Allen) but he’s tied up with a play in New York and could not fit it in to his schedule.”

On Friday, the festival continued with a showcase of short films made by filmmakers from around the region in Alamo Drafthouse.

Hunton, a filmmaker himself, said he started out in short film. It is important for people to see how talented of filmmakers there are in the Lubbock area and surrounding regions.

“The quality of films really shows how quality the filmmakers are here in Lubbock,” Hunton said.

“I think that if anything, you can really gather that there is a growing film community, and it’s doing really great work.”

Hunton said he wanted to break the stigma that there is not enough respect for short films at festivals. In addition to screening these films, the organizers wanted to give the opportunity for the filmmakers to answer questions during Q&A sessions and give attention to the filmmakers.

One of those filmmakers was Daniel Ballard, a producer at KTTZ. Ballard submitted his short film, “Aliens and In-laws,” a film about relationships and the perception that people in relationships do not listen to their significant others all the time.

Ballard said he received the talent for his film through the Acting for the Camera class at Tech.

“When we came around making our short film, I knew that class existed, so I got a hold of the teacher,” Ballard said. “Me and a producer named Emily de Santos sat in on a class when they were reading the script and we cast it from that.”

Ballard said it was interesting for him to see the film on the big screen and hear the audience’s reaction.

“I have seen it so many times and worked with it for so long that it is no longer funny to me anymore,” Ballard said. “So seeing it with an audience and hearing how well they reacted and hearing the laughs at the right times and stuff was a really nice feeling.”

Heather Lusk, a senior art major from Lubbock, also got the chance to watch on the big screen a film she co-directed, “The Stages of Grief.”

Lusk said the film was the final project for a painting class she took. But, it became something much deeper than that.

“We used paint to kind of describe grief, to materialize grief pretty much into something other people can understand,” Lusk said. “The basis of the whole project was to materialize that feeling.”

Lusk said she did not have any filmmaking experience previously. But, after dating a videographer, she became very interested in the art form.

Lusk and her co-director, Zane Ennis, had only a week to shoot this short film, Lusk said, but, it was an experience Lusk will never forget.

“It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. But, very rewarding,” she said.

Peaslee said the short film aspect of the festival gives these local filmmakers the opportunity to show their work, possibly for the first time.

It is difficult for filmmakers, especially short film directors, to get their material out there, he said. This festival is a way to get them exposed and to see their films on the big screen.

“We love the opportunity to put the call out for and solicit new work from filmmakers around the region,” Peaslee said. “We want not only to give them the opportunity to see their work on the big screen and with an audience, but to give each other feedback and make connections.”

On Saturday, the Flatland Film Festival started its Feature Films showcase.

Peaslee said programming these feature-length films starts at South by Southwest in March.

“The timing is good that if something premieres down there, we are still kind of in that festival window by the time we get to the fall,” Peaslee said. “One of us goes down and sees as many films as we can and try to find stuff down there that will interest our audience.”

These feature films are mostly documentaries showcasing some topic that has re-

While the Flatland Film Festival is not the biggest festival, one of the intentions of the festival is to show the filmmakers a good time, Peaslee said.

“One of our goals is when a filmmaker leaves here and goes back to wherever they’re from, they will tell their colleagues ‘Hey look at Flatland Film Festival, you will not get a huge production deal because it is screened in Lubbock, Texas, but they will take care of you,’” Peaslee said.

“Frankly for filmmakers, that is not always the case

at film festivals. They can be stressful and thankless experiences. We want to make the filmmakers feel special and have the best audience for their work.”

Throughout the time that the Flatland Film Festival has been around, it has grown incrementally, Peaslee said. The festival has grown in terms of audience as well as programming.

O’Brien finds her stride in Lubbock

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Staff Writer

The Texas Tech soccer team, with an overall season record of 8-4-2 and a conference record of 1-3-0, has had many team members step up to the plate and prove to be valuable assets on the field.

One Red Raider has been a defensive and offensive threat to opposing teams this season. That athlete is junior defender Rebekah O’Brien.

This season, O’Brien has put up some strong numbers scoring three goals for the Red Raiders as well as having four assists.

The decision to play for Tech, O’Brien said, was one that did not cross her mind until she visited Lubbock and felt at home.

“I came onto campus not really expecting anything,” O’Brien said. “There was just something about West Texas and Lubbock that I really liked.”

The welcoming coaching staff at Tech was another overwhelming factor that made her decision to become a Red Raider a little easier, O’Brien said.

“I loved the coaching staff,” O’Brien said. “They were very welcoming and made me feel like I was a part of the family already. It was a very welcoming experience.”

When it comes to the love of the game, O’Brien said she had strong family influences.

Both of her older brothers played soccer and one played at the collegiate level, which she said inspired her to follow in their footsteps.

“I really looked up to both of my brothers,” O’Brien said.

“They both played, but the second oldest played in college. He worked really hard setting a record of minutes played. I looked at him and

Being a junior, she experienced becoming Big 12 Conference champions last season after defeating Kansas, 1-0.

The entire experience of getting to the championship and winning is something O’Brien said she will never forget.

“I get speechless every time I talk about it because it was such an unreal feeling,” O’Brien said. “I’m very blessed that I was a part of that team, but it is a new year. You have to remember last season and also look forward and do it

again this season.”

At the start of conference play, Tech dominated Iowa State by blanking the Cyclones 3-0. A huge contribution to the game came from the experienced defender.

D e f e n s i v e l y, O ’ B r i e n helped the team record its fifth shutout of the season.

The Tech defense held Iowa State to just two shots in the first half of the game.

The standout performance from O’Brien against Iowa State earned her Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Tech coach Tom Stone said he took notice of O’Brien’s contribution on the field in

what was Tech’s first conference win this season. She was a valuable player in the win over the Cyclones.

“For Rebekah, it was just a complete game,” Stone said.

“We get the shutout, and she scored a bomb of a goal, which is why Rebekah was probably our MVP.” During the game, O’Brien put up an offensive play by shooting one into the goal from deep midfield. She said the moment she made contact with the ball, she knew the shot was on goal.

“They set me up on the far post and (coach Stone) always encourages me to take those risky shots,” O’Brien said.

“I saw it open and thought,

‘I want to take that.’ After I struck the ball, it just felt right. It was very satisfying to see it hit the net.”

For the most part, the Red Raiders have put on some strong performances, winning eight games.

However, O’Brien expressed throughout the season, she and the team have faced some tough challenges.

“The game against Cal was obviously a very big game. The game against Kansas was rough and even Iowa State gave us a pretty good fight,” O’Brien said.

The four losses this season were tough for the Red Raiders, Stone said. However, O’Brien said these games

were chances for the team to learn from its mistakes.

“There have been different games that were big learning experiences for us,” O’Brien said. “The loss to Cal was a wakeup call that made us realize there are some pretty good teams in the college world.”

When it comes to rallying back after losses, O’Brien said the team regains its composure by taking past failures and working on them.

“I think we need to remember the losses but not dwell on them,” O’Brien said. “We need to remember the mistakes we’ve made in every game, and then polish those mistakes during practice every week.”

O’Brien has witnessed what the Red Raiders are truly capable of this season. Even with the bulk of the roster being made up of underclassmen, O’Brien said she is still confident in what she has seen from the younger players.

“We are a young team obviously, but I see a lot of the young players learning.

Even things I didn’t learn until just last year,” O’Brien said. “They’re developing quickly, and I think that experience and maturity is coming along. I think we can do a lot this year.”

O’Brien said the Red Raiders have to keep making strides to repeat as Big 12 champions.

O’Brien said she is confident in what Tech can do this year and thinks they will be a force to be reckoned with.

“I think we have shown improvements a lot in the past few weeks,” O’Brien said, “and if we continue to learn from our mistakes, we will be an unstoppable team this year.” @ABoutwellDT

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

Junior receiver Dylan Cantrell finished the game with 10 receptions for 81 yards, and senior receiver

Devin Lauderdale finished the game with seven receptions for 92 yards.

Tech started its first drive with a rushing touchdown from Mahomes, giving the Red Raiders the lead early on 7-0.

Red Raiders fall to Bears, 1-0

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Staff Writer

After a tough loss to Oklahoma State on Friday, the Texas Tech soccer team suffered its third Big 12 Conference loss of this season on Sunday to Baylor, 1-0. The Red Raiders came up with a total of 14 shots and 9 corner kick opportunities in the game.

Junior defender Rebekah O’Brien and freshman forward Jade King both had a total of four shots in the game but could not materialize on any of them.

“I thought we were better than we were Friday just in terms of our mentality,” Tech coach Tom Stone said. “We took away all of the things Baylor likes to do to be dangerous and unfortunately for us, their best player had their only chance in the game.”

In the first half, Baylor came out strong on defense by pressing the Red Raiders and forcing them to lose possession.

Tech could only come up with a total of two shots, but none could materialize.

Baylor maintained control of the ball getting off five shots in the first 45 minutes of play.

The Bears were able to

get the first shot off in the game after a foul was called on Tech. The leading scorer for Baylor, forward Lauren Piercy, was awarded the free kick but her shot was blocked by Tech defenders.

King and sophomore defender Cassie Boren were the only Red Raiders to get an opportunity at the net early on. Boren got the first shot off for the Red Raiders, but it went just wide of the net.

King ran down the field ringing a shot off from the right wing, but her shot went wide of the net as well.

Tech did not have many opportunities with only one corner kick in the first half, while Baylor had two.

Senior goalkeeper Lauren Watson came up with two saves in the net to help keep the game scoreless, 0-0.

“It was a game of momentum. I thought they had it early and then as the first half wound down and you could tell we were getting to the half having played against the wind, then the momentum switched to us,” Stone said.

“We had the wind, we had more of the ball. Then it was obviously all us in the last 20 minutes. I feel like if we would have equalized, it was our game to win.”

When the second half

kicked off, Baylor was able to get several shots off. A shot from Baylor resulted in a diving save from Watson to keep the Bears from getting on the board.

Junior defender Cassie Conarty rang the first shot off for Tech in the second half, but her shot went wide of the net and out of play.

With 30 minutes left to play, Baylor finally got on the board with a shot from midfielder Julie James.

Her chance at the box went past the hands of Watson and into the net giving the Bears the lead late in the game, 1-0.

The Red Raiders attempted to combat the growing pressure from the Bears offensive and defensive play. Freshman forward Tatum Barton had the most promising shot of the game, but it bounced off the crossbar.

With five minutes left, King put one on target, but it was saved by Baylor goalkeeper Sara Martinson.

Despite the several corner kicks and many shot opportunities late in the second half, the Red Raiders could not capitalize giving Baylor the win, 1-0.

“As a team, it’s a hard lesson to learn because you’re in the game and obviously we created a butt-load

Tech volleyball expands Rookie-led Dallas Cowboys are 4-1 after win losing streak to eight The Kansas Jayhawks extended their winning streak against the Texas Tech volleyball team to 12 consecutive games with a 3-0 win Saturday afternoon at Horejsi Family Athletics Center, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Winning by a margin of 25-8, junior outside hitter Madison Rigdon displayed the Jayhawks control over the Tech defense as she landed a new program record in a three-set match of six aces in the opening frame. Building off Rigdon’s effective serves, after earning a 7-6 lead, the Kansas offense rolled by giving up just two of 20 points disputed to the Red Raiders.

Tech would go on to surpass the 10-point mark in

the final two sets, but Kansas stifled the Red Raider attack. Throughout the match, the Jayhawks kept the hitting percentage below .200 and allowed senior middle blocker Lauren Douglass and freshman outside hitter Toni McDougald six kills each. No other Red Raider tallied more than three kills.

The loss to the Jayhawks kept the Tech losing streak going as the team recorded its eighth straight loss to drop its record to 10-10 and 0-5 in the Big 12 Conference.

Prescott had his first turnover in five games starting in place of injured Tony Romo, a fumble when

being sacked late in the third quarter. But Prescott extended his NFL rookie record to 155 passes without an interception to start his career. He completed 18 of 24 passes for 227 yards.

Elliott, on only 15 carries, became the first Cowboys rookie with three consecutive 100-yard rushing games.
