After last year's Virginia Tech shootings, Texas Tech now has an effective new emergency system in place.Tech officials say all students will have to register their cell phone numbers starting this summer.
In the event of an campus emergency, all students can be called and receive a text message with instructions.
Tech students say this is much more effective than the old email system.
Tech officials say the new system costs roughly $2 per name that is added to the list.
