The Goin' Band from Raiderland, Saddle Tramps, Gunfire Kickline, and the Cheer and Pom Squads will lead cheers. Texas Tech head football coach Mike Leach will speak at the event and the Texas Tech volleyball team will be introduced. The event will culminate with the wrapping of Will Rogers and Soapsuds by the Midnight Raiders. Students are encouraged to dress up, paint their faces and show their school spirit. The most spirited student group will get preferred seating in the student section at the Texas Tech vs. North Texas game on Saturday, Sept. 9, and will be spotlighted on RaiderVision.
Some architects design impressive structures that tower over the nation's cities.
Others design ornate buildings that change the landscape of this country. Texas Tech University Dean of Architecture James E. White designs buildings that are just a little different. The buildings are, in fact, houses. And the houses are not mansions for the rich and famous, but houses for Habitat for Humanity. This year all of the homes will be built in Lubbock's Canyon View area north of Avenue U. White, chairman of the Habitat for Humanity building committee, has worked with the organization for 15 years.
