A window to 1975 was opened Monday afternoon through the College of Media & Communication’s 50-year old time capsule.

Inside, news articles, printed programs and video tapes guided attendees through their trip back in time.

“Greetings, may this day Feb. 10, 2025, be as beautiful as was this day Sept. 9, 1975,” said Chris Cook, assistant dean of enrollment and marketing, as he read the opening letter from the time capsule.

The letter was one of several artifacts placed inside a metal box that has been screwed shut for the past half-century. Protected by an outer wooden case, the time capsule has sat behind a glass display case in one of the college’s hallways.

Raquel Uceda, Texas Tech Alpha Phi’s former Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Vice President, accepted the Outstanding DEI Award on Saturday, Feb. 1, beating out 172 chapters for national recognition.

After serving a year as DEI vice president, Uceda, a junior nutrition student from Houston, has recently taken on the role of the sorority’s president. Uceda said she was proud to accept the award especially since they were not recognized at last year’s Alpha Phi conference.

“DEI is really beautiful, and it gets overlooked in Texas, but I think it is powerful in bringing communities together,” Uceda said. “The recognition that we got from the award definitely means a lot because last year we didn’t receive any awards, and so it was really special for me to be able to accept this as president.”

Uceda said while the recognition of ethnicities and cultural groups is important, for her DEI is about the community being together as a whole.

“In my term, I tried to focus more on the Lubbock and Texas Tech community as a whole, and join everyone together,” Uceda said. “Because I think people often feel trapped within their clubs and organizations, and that’s why I wanted to reach out to different organizations, especially Alpha Kappa Alpha (an African American Tech sorority).”

Super senior guard Chance McMillian drained a pair of free throws in overtime for No. 22 Texas Tech men’s basketball to take down No. 6 University of Houston by a score of 82-81 on Saturday in the Fertitta Center in Houston.

With 14 seconds remaining in overtime, the Red Raiders were down by a point at 81-80. McMillian ran down the court and was fouled by graduate student guard Mylik Wilson.

Free throws had plagued Tech in the second half, going 13-20 and missing crucial free throws that could’ve tied the game at various times. Despite this, McMillian sank both shots and put the Red Raiders up by one.

Houston gained possession with 1.5 seconds remaining in the game. Graduate student forward J’Wan Roberts ran toward the basket to attempt a layup to put the Cougars on top. However, Roberts took one too many steps and was called for a travel, ultimately sealing Tech’s victory to stay undefeated on the road this season.

McMillian finished the game as Tech’s leading scorer with 23 points, matching his season-high scoring from Dec. 8 against Texas A&M University, according to Tech Athletics.

It was shortly after Sunday’s team meeting when Grant McCasland knew he needed a Red Raider to fill the spot of one of Texas Tech men’s basketball’s team leaders.

While many went home after Sunday’s events, McCasland said he found Kerwin Walton working to improve his game. Without words, the simple act told McCasland that Walton personifies the team’s character and versatility.

Two days later, it was time for the Red Raiders to step foot on the court again, and McCasland said the team’s depth on Wednesday would not have been possible without super-senior forward Walton’s dedication.
