4-H Fashion

Above: Jodie Detten, from Carson County, models a hand-made dress during the Construction Dressy category of the 4-H Roundup Fashion Show in the Allen Theater on Wednesday.
Head, heart, hands and health — these are the four principles of the 4-H organi-zation.
The 2012 Texa s 4 -H Roundup, hosted Monday through Friday, included 50 events, such as the Recipe Rally, Nutrition Quiz Bowl
and a fashion show. This is the first year that Roundup has been hosted at Texas Tech. In previous years, the Texas 4-H Roundup has been hosted at Texas A&M University.
Texas 4-H Roundup is a quali-fying event for participants that have placed in a qualifying event at the district level or signed up to
compete in an invitational event at the state level.
“Participants come from all over the state of Texas, ranging from ages 11 to 18,” said Kayla Thomas, unit coordinator for the center of prevention and resiliency.
The planning stages of bring-ing the Roundup to Lubbock in
2012 began in the fall of 2009. Denise Sanchez, a recent graduate with a master’s degree in restau-rant, hotel and institutional man-agement, was appointed in April of 2011 to help plan Roundup.
“I started building up an event profile, talking to faculty, trying to recruit volunteers,” said Sanchez.
Steve Reynolds: Serial Investiga-tions in Sculpture is now on display at the Landmark Arts Gallery in the Art building.
“It resonates on a personal level for me,” said David Mondt, assistant director and curator of Landmark Arts Gallery, about the Equinox Porcelain series in the gallery.
This series consists of a row of mainly white tablets with splatters and sections of brown, blue and gold, each tablet with a different non-geometrical shape.
Humanoid figures emerge from some, others are buckled, twisted or scaled, but printed on each is a form of language. Chinese characters, a diagram of evolution, Sumerian, complex lines of music and other types of communication that words do not justify.
“Art is a universal language,” said Juan Granados, an associate professor in ceramics.
He said he believes art tries to con-vey something and to say something.
“(Art) is visual, conceptual and perceptual,” Granados said.
Reynolds’ work explodes with meaning just like his Vinci piece explodes from the frame.
The work starts in a collage with only three corners framed; it morphs into other frames that display Reyn-olds’ family history. Wires jet out from the side of the frame then the wires themselves frame other ceramic works, and bold words in Old English font — Vinci, Daw, I. Kant and
Techne Hem Syntax.Art was not the only way Reynolds
tried to pass his studies, wisdom and knowledge to the next generation. He taught at Texas Tech in the 70s.
“I was frequently wonderstruck while listening to Steve converse with his students,” said James A. Broderick in the companion book to the gal-lery, which carries the same name as the exhibit: “Steve Reynolds: Serial Investigations in Sculpture.”
“Trenchant critiques of students’ current works and some of the most challenging readings and rigorous discourse found in their academic pursuits,” he said about Reynolds’ teaching.
Mondt said the Landmark Arts Gallery has a new exhibit every month during the spring and fall semesters.
“It’s a great opportunity to see art-work from someone who will likely go down in history,” Mondt said.
Reynolds’ art is in part about his-tory and how it hurries, but more so about how we should link it to the present through ceramics, tagging or ink.
He thought about mating rituals that society has now termed dating or relationships.
He thought about death and life and the things in between, but none of this can be seen.
Granados said the exhibit is bet-ter understood by viewing instead of describing.
“You can … ,” he paused, trying to explain his point.
“Well, let’s just look at it.”

Body found in playa lake identified as Joe Reynolds
According to the Lubbock Police Department, a body was discovered which has now been identified as Joe Reynolds, 20.
Police responded to a call at 11:07 a.m. on Monday, which
came f rom the S toneLake Apartments at 7414 Elgin Av-enue, concerning a body float-ing in a playa lake near the apartments.
ALEPH: OBITUARY, A mixed media sculpture created by Steve Reyn-olds, hangs on display in the Landmark Art Gallery in the Art Building on Thursday. A gallery of Reynolds’ work will be on display until June 24.
Sixteen percent of teens visiting col-lege campuses admit to drinking alcohol during their stay.
A recent study conducted by the Center for Adolescent Research and Ed-ucation at Susquehanna U. and Students Against Destructive Decisions sought to examine the safety of student hosts and visitors during overnight college visits.
Although Duke U. employs strict policies to prevent such inappropriate conduct during visits, conduct violations result in students getting their admis-sions rescinded once every two or three years, said Christoph Guttentag, dean of undergraduate admissions.
The study, based on the responses of 270 college visitors aged 16 to 19, found that, aside from the 16 percent who drank alcohol, 17 percent engaged in sexual activities and 5 percent used drugs other than alcohol.
“Teens need to understand the choices they might be faced with and their consequences,” said CARE Direc-tor Stephen Wallace. “What is their response going to be, and how are they going to make the decision they want to make?”
More than half of the surveyed stu-dents who either consumed alcohol or had sex were doing so for the first time in their lives.
The survey was a follow-up to a study also conducted by CARE in 2003, which found that 26 percent of visitors were drinking alcohol, 28 percent were engag-ing in sexual behavior and 22 percent were using drugs.
The earlier study encompassed all visits, including those to see siblings and friends, but the recent survey focused specifically on students visiting for the admissions process, which in part ex-plains the lower numbers, Wallace noted.
Flawed perceptionsFirst time behavior is a particular
cause for concern, because it can establish risky behavior as a social norm for college students, Wallace said.
“It creates a perception that that’s what college life is all about,” he said. “Sixteen-year-olds absorb the culture and establish behavioral patterns that will last throughout their four years in college.”
He noted that visiting students may feel pressured by older college students to engage in activities they might otherwise reject. Parents therefore play a key role in establishing expectations for their children and engaging them in dialogue about decision-making.
Academic institutions can also establish measures to prevent risky be-havior by visiting students and to protect visitors and their hosts, he said. Visits can be shortened and moved from the weekend to weekdays, when fewer par-ties are held. Universities can also train hosts and require them to sign contracts, Wallace said.
At Duke, hosts and admitted students
participating in Blue Devil Days—a series of two-day admitted student programs when visitors can stay overnight with freshmen hosts—are required to adhere to the Duke Community Standard by signing a consent form, undergraduate admissions officer Morgan Kirkland, Trinity ’11, wrote in an email Monday. The consent form explicitly prohibits the possession and consumption of illegal drugs and alcohol for underage individu-als. Visiting students are also required to communicate with their hosts about their whereabouts and planned activities.
Few reports at DukeThe undergraduate admissions of-
fice usually handles one or two pre-enrollment conduct violations each year, Guttentag said. In cases of serious conduct violations, the responsible stu-dent meets with Guttentag and Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek over the summer, whereupon the students may be asked to reapply or be required to take a gap year depending on the degree of violation.

Facebook forges ahead with ethical investor policy
College-bound students engage in risky behaviorBy TIFFANY LIEU
The Duke ChroniCle (Duke u.)
By JUSTIN DAVIDOFFDaily Trojan (u. SouThern California)
Facebook’s recent IPO, with its shares initially priced at $38, put the company’s total valuation at about $100 billion, a value representing about one-fifth of that of the world’s most valuable company, Apple. At that price (which it no longer trades at), the company would also be worth about three times more than LinkedIn, Twitter, Groupon, Yelp and Zynga combined.
The high expectations for future profits that this valuation demon-strates brings up one of the most fun-damental questions about Facebook as a public company, and one that founder Mark Zuckerberg chose to address in a letter to investors in Face-book’s S-1 prospectus earlier this year.
“Facebook was not originally created to be a company. It was built to accomplish a social mission — to make the world more open and con-nected.”
This statement, tellingly the very first sentence of the letter, is seemingly at odds with the inherent responsibil-ity of a publicly traded company’s management, which is unambiguously and categorically to maximize value for its shareholders. An investor read-ing this would expect, and hope, that Zuckerberg might go on to describe how Facebook’s direction and purpose would now fundamentally change as a public company to benefit stockhold-ers. Unsurprisingly, this is not what Zuckerberg did.
He went on to write instead:“Simply put: we don’t build ser-
vices to make money; we make money to build better services.”
The conflict between serving the greater social good and maximizing profits is anything but a new topic in business. Many companies profess to wanting to make the world a better place while serving shareholders. Some, like Howard Schultz of Star-bucks, claim that the most effective and sustainable way to profit and
grow is actually by being a socially responsible and conscientious actor.
But Facebook appears to be a unique test case for this issue, both
because of its size and the level of commitment and zeal that Zuckerberg has continually demonstrated for his personal agenda.

Human Sciences, reflects on what 4-H means to her.
“4-H is about service, helping them develop skills that will enable them to be a leader of whatever type of commu-nity they end up being in,” Dodd said.
With the Texas 4-H Roundup occurring at Tech for the first time, it also gives participants a chance to view the College of Human Sciences, since A&M does not offer a human sciences college.
“The university has opened up its arms to the 4-H’ers and their families,” said Hoover.
One specific event that caught the eye of Denise Sanchez was the Recipe Rally.
“At district, participants submit videos and put together a 12-minute video about their recipe. They talk about serving size and health benefits of their recipe. During Roundup, they only have 9 minutes to prepare then they are asked questions by a panel of judges about their recipes,” said Sanchez.
Another event, the fashion show, gave participants the opportunity to show off their garments.
“For the fashion show, the par-ticipants are getting to use the man-nequins in the college and other tools of the fashion industry,” said Dodd.
While the participants of the Roundup are competing, volunteers re-flect on what being a part of Roundup means to them.
“I’ve learned how students in-volved in extracurricular activities, like 4-H, can benefit them as young leaders,” said Thomas.
With it being the first time Tech has hosted the Texas 4-H Roundup, and the first time a college of human sciences has been present during competition, there was a large effort in making the participants feel a warm West Texas welcome.
“We’ve covered all our bases to make sure participants feel welcome and can approach anybody at any-time to see how friendly we are,” said Sanchez.
Contests were held all over the Tech campus, including the United Spirit Arena, the Student Union Building and the College of Agricul-tural Sciences and Natural Resources.➤➤[email protected]

Texans give extensions to Smith, KubiakHOUSTON (AP) — The Hous-
ton Texans announced contract extensions Thursday for general manager Rick Smith and coach Gary Kubiak, rewarding them for taking the team to the playoffs last year for the first time.
Texans owner Bob McNair want-ed to maintain continuity with both men in the final years of their current contracts. Smith's extension is for four years, which will keep him with the team through 2016. Kubiak's
is a three-year agreement which re-does the last year of his current deal and keeps him under contract through 2014.
"Stability is very important and these people work well together and they are committed to bringing a championship to Houston," McNair said. "That's our goal and what we work for every day. I'm real pleased we were able to bring this about."
McNair said he offered Kubiak a four-year deal, but he preferred to
make it for three."Gary has assured me that with
the level of success he's going to have, he's going to be worth a lot more money in three years instead of four. So I had to agree with him," McNair said with a laugh.
McNair wanted to extend the contracts after the team finished 10-6 to win its first AFC South title.
He was impressed that Kubiak was able to lead the franchise to the postseason and its first playoff
victory despite playing significant time without a number of key play-ers. Outside linebacker Mario Wil-liams and receiver Andre Johnson missed large chunks of the season, and Houston had to rely on rookie third-string quarterback T.J. Yates after starter Matt Schaub and backup Matt Leinart were lost to injuries.
The Texans beat Cincinnati 31-10 in the first-round of the playoffs before a 20-13 loss to the Ravens ended their historic season.
