MEXICO CITY, Mexico— Mexico now has the lowest oil prices in almost six years. The drop in oil prices has forced Mexico’s government to slash $8.4 billion from its 2015 budget, with most of the cutbacks to come in the energy sector.

ESPN’s College GameDay is coming to SMU Feb. 14.

Student Senate discusses College GameDay and Homecoming kristy lee Contributing Writer kclee@smu.edu The Student Senate met this Tuesday, Feb. 10, at Hughes Trigg forum to discuss its weekly agenda.

Among the news shared at the meeting, ESPN’s College GameDay is coming to SMU this Valentine’s Day and Homecoming will be held earlier this year to help celebrate the University’s 100th birthday on Sept. 24th.

Many of the Student Senate members were pleased with the outcome that College GameDay has chosen to visit SMU for the first time in the university’s history. The only problem with the exciting news is that it falls on the same weekend as Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras, and

the event is at 8 a.m., a slightly early hour for students to show so much enthusiasm.

The conflict may result in fewer students in Moody Coliseum, which some worry will reflect poorly of our school spirit for the GameDay cameras.

Despite the concerns, the Student Senate members felt confident that they will be able to rally up some support for maximum media coverage.

David Hamner, a Cox student senator didn’t seem phased by the early wake up call, “I’m sure students will wake up early to represent our school. I think there will be more than enough of us in town to cheer on the team.”

Others were also excited about the benefit the media would give SMU. Sen. Gentry Wilburn believed the coverage would

Texas SAN ANTONIO— Two men have died after falling from a rock wall they were scaling in San Antonio.

Police say it appears the unidentified men were rappelling down a climbing area known as Medicine Wall in north San Antonio late Monday night when they fell to their deaths.

Their bodies were found at the base of the wall, which is about 80 to 100 feet high.

Rock equipment was also found at the scene.

help eliminate the longstanding reputation that SMU has a lack of school spirit.

With the basketball team back in the rankings and the enormous support the school has for coach Larry Brown, the GameDay cameras can do nothing but continue to turn the negative energy around.

“The media coverage will be great for the school to advertise Moody’s electrifying atmosphere,” Wilburn said.

Another hot topic at this week’s meeting was this year’s Homecoming weekend.

It will be scheduled for Sept. 26, a week earlier than previously planned to honor SMU’s centennial birthday.

In 1959, the first M Award ceremony took place. Jim Caswell, the Vice President of Student Affairs, coordinated the event to recognize 10 students for their hard work and dedication to improving the campus community.

The M Award became a yearly tradition rewarding students’ efforts until 1971, when the recipient list extended to faculty and staff.

Since then, the M Award ceremony acknowledges 15 outstanding students, faculty and staff at the end of the yearly Awards Extravaganza.

According to the SMU Student Affairs website, the “’M’ Award is the most highly prized recognition bestowed upon students, faculty, staff

and administrators on the SMU campus.

The recipients’ efforts have been continuous during their years at the University and are not limited to a narrow vested interest.”

Dr. Judy Henneberger, Associate Chaplain to the University and the current chair for the M Award explains how students, faculty and staff are eligible for the distinguished award.

“It’s not a narrow interestthey can be really good at one thing; it’s how they impact the university community. Students, faculty and staff that receive the award are everywhere. They’re students leaders, servants, givers, community service workers,” Henneberger said.

An example of a “typical” M Award recipient could be the

WEDNESDAY n FEBRUARY 11, 2015 awards

Some artists surprise, others make a steal at the Grammys matt sanders Associate A&E Editor msanders@smu.edu The 57th annual Grammy Awards took place in Los Angeles Sunday night, and it was a memorable one, in both the good and bad ways.

When all was said and done, Sam Smith walked away with four Grammy wins, including “Record of the Year” and “Song of the Year” for his song “Stay With Me.” Several other notable winners include Kendrick Lamar winning “Best Rap Song” with his song “I,” Eminem and Rihanna winning “Best Rap/Sung Collaboration” with their song “The Monster,” and Miranda Lambert winning “Best Country Album” with her album “Platinum.”

The biggest surprise of the night was the winner of “Album of the Year.” Beck won the award with his album “Morning Phase” over other nominees including Beyonce, Sam Smith and Pharrell Williams.

This surprise led to the funniest moment of the night. Everybody remembers when Kanye West let Taylor Swift finish, and once again the crowd was in for a shocker.

West went on stage when Beck won his Grammy, and acted like he was about to pull a Kayne.

Fortunately, he was just joking and walked off the stage with a grin on his face. Some people in the crowd laughed while others breathed a sigh of relief.

The biggest local relationship with the Grammy’s is the winner of the “Arrangement, Instrumental, or A Cappella” category- Pentatonix.

The Arlington-based A Cappella group won for it’s Daft Punk Medley.

When it came to the performances during the awards show, some were spectacular, while others were painful.

Somehow Beyoncé always tops herself. On Sunday night, she touched people at the spiritual level.

While being backed by an all-male gospel choir, she performed “Take My Hand Precious Lord,” which

just so happens to be Martin Luther King, Jr.’s favorite song. It is not known how she will be better at next year’s Grammy’s (because let’s face it, the Grammy’s are nothing without her), but she will find a way.

The other performance that brought out the feels is when Sam Smith sang “Stay With Me” with Mary J. Blige. Smith has a not-sosecret love for R&B singers, and he put his heart into the performance.

Possibly the most uncomfortable moment of the night was when Shia LaBeouf took the stage to introduce Sia’s performance of “Chandelier.”

The intent was touching- Sia’s husband writing a romantic letter for her. However, Shia LaBeouf ’s unique history made the moment awkward. It was just good to see his face.

While some think it is too early to think about, next year’s Grammy’s artists are already working on their next masterpiece.

The best thing about the Grammy’s is not knowing who will be next year’s Sam Smith.

Will Powers writes powerful musical Natalie Yezbick Contributing Writer nyezbick@smu.edu

Sam Smith dominated the night with four wins.

Meadows Prize winner Will Power weaves AfricanAmerican folk myths into his new musical, “Stagger Lee.” It is rare that a description of a musical written by the very theater showing it sells itself short. The Dallas Theater Center’s four-sentence description of Stagger Lee did just that.

Stagger Lee, written by Meadows Prize winner Will Power, spans multiple generations and genres. Each character or set of characters was based off a myth from a song popular with the AfricanAmerican culture at that time.

The audience is taken to six different cities, emblematic of the fact that the quest for the American Dream is not confined to wealth, states or regions.

We begin in Lyon, Mississippi at the end of the 1800s. Delilah, played by the exceptional vocalist Tiffany Mann, sings a goodbye to her parents and children before she joins her husband in the promised land of St. Louis.

Delilah travels across space and time to arrive in St. Louis in 1910. She reunites with her husband Billy, played by Cedric Neal, her brother Johnny, and his girlfriend Frankie. Johnny, played by Brandon Gill, is a naive boy trying to be a man but looking for validation in all the wrong places - and women.

Saycon Sengbloh’s character, Frankie, is the ideal picture of a “Northern Woman,” and sings a song of that same title which got the most giggles out of the entire score by Power and Justin Ellington. The couples soon realize that St. Louis is not the haven to southern blacks that

they once thought.

The setting dissolves into a scene in Harlem, New York in 1930. The grandeur of Missouri is gone. Billy is jobless, and Delilah is still without her children. Stagger Lee, played

by J. Bernard Calloway, comes knocking at the couple’s door, and he becomes the head honcho of the New York club scene and goes from wayward stranger to powerful pimp.

The play gets into the depths of race relationships when it shifts to Chicago, Illinois in 1951.

After living in the South Side, the two couples move to the white suburb of Cicero.

Their move isn’t welcomed by the white residents.

The actors fight in a mix of slow motion and real time, but the staging of the scene creates the most dissonance.

The “house” set up on the stage only has a back wall, so it is disorienting when the characters board up the door but somehow rioters come in through the nonexistent side walls.

As the audience settles back in their seats during intermission, we hear the voice of Martin Luther King, which was a smart and calculated move by Power. This is the only mention of the turbulent 1960s in the show; Power chose to focus on the plight of AfricanAmericans during the lessdiscussed decades.

In the second act, we’re flashed forward to Oakland, California in 1973 and Detroit, Michigan in 1987.

We see the dawning of the Black Panther Party. We see discos full of happy people dressed in colorful patterns and hip-hop clubs disrupted by shootings. And we see AfricanAmericans still struggling to make their way, even after

the Civil Rights Movement.

Billy and Delilah are poor and don’t know where to turn. Frankie and Johnny are contemplating actions that will make their deadly myth real.

Stagger Lee is offering them all a way out of their misery- for a price.

Each of them make their decisions, and the audience is left in today’s time. Delilah is back with her children, whom, she sings, have the ability to go to school and live better lives than she could.

Just as the story is about to wrap up in a neat little bow, we see a figure run behind the house and upstage. His arms are in the “hands up, don’t shoot” position. We know what will happen next, but the noise from a gun confirms our suspicions.

During the show, the audience is trying to answer the question, “Who is Stagger Lee?” Stagger Lee is the easy way out. Stagger Lee is the voice in a kindergartner’s head at recess that says, “Nobody likes you.

Go play by yourself.” Stagger Lee is the undoubted decision to forgo flight for fight with no regard to whether that will help or hurt others.

Will Power brought Stagger Lee to life to change how the audience thinks about black history.

On one hand, it questions if certain decisions made in life and the ripples they make in the future will benefit our progeny or leave a stain on the remembrance of today.

On the other hand, it shows the struggles that those in the past have endured for the generations of now. It asks, “Is what you are doing worthy of those sacrifices?”

In the case of Will Power’s “Stagger Lee,” I would say a resounding yes.

Relay For Life is SMU’s largest philanthropic event on campus.

Since its inception in 2004, the event has raised a total of $1,211,563 and is currently ranked No. 12 in the nation, up against colleges two or three times its size.

Last year, Relay for Life at SMU raised more than $30,000 in three days for the “Number One Relay Challenge.”

This year’s Relay For Life will be held on Bishop Boulevard, April 10 from 6 p.m to midnight, reducing the event’s duration to only six hours.

This year’s theme is “Cirque de Relay.” According to Allie Shaffer, SMU Relay for Life adviser, the Boulevard will be circus themed and have exciting new fundraising activities for teams to participate in.

They are hoping that by making the event shorter, it will allow for even more students to attend and stay longer.

“It’s common for [them] to get it,” Henneberger said.

“Why? They have a campaign; they have a vision for the community. And they work really hard to achieve it so they should get recognized.”

As for faculty and staff members, Henneberger actually received the M Award in 2006 for her work in the ministry for the community, particularly religious life organizations and the university community in the Office of the Chaplain.

“It’s very humbling to know that you have colleagues who recognize you and saw you as a part of this prestigious community,” Henneberger said.

“It’s an honorable experience.”

Tony Pederson, professor and the Belo Distinguished Chair in Journalism, also received the M Award in 2014. He is on the board for the Embrey Human Rights Program since its founding and president of the Faculty Club.

“I knew the M Award was a really big deal,” Pederson said.

“I knew the background on it and I knew the quality of the people, faculty and students who have won. It was a little bit of a surprise…but it was a very nice surprise. It was a nice honor

“Students can expect inspiring and powerful ceremonies to honor those affected by cancer, live entertainment, games, activities, yummy food and lots of fun,” Meier said.

As of Tuesday, 506 participants signed up for the event and SMU Relay has already raised more than $26,317. This year, committee members are hoping to have at least 1,500 participants attend to beat last year’s number of 1,400.

“Cancer is such a scary thing that can shake your world to the core,” said Relay for Life Director of Administration Deanna Moon, who lost her grandfather to the terrible disease before her freshmen year.

“I didn’t realize how much cancer could take away from me until I watched [my grandfather] fight and eventually lose his battle with cancer.”

Moon believes that it is imperative for the SMU community to participate in Relay for Life.

“With the joint effort of this campus, we can combat this disease that has already taken too much from us and work together, step-bystep, toward a cancer free world,” Moon said.

Another 2014 M Award recipient was Ashley Garner.

A few of her accomplishments include serving on Dr. Whites Vice President Student Advisary Board, being an AARO Leader and Student Director and Mustang Bridge Academic Program Student Coordinator.

Garner recalls the moment she won the M Award: “It was incredible,” she said. “The perfect way to end the culmination of my entire undergraduate career. I felt like my hard work, passion, and spirit were truly being recognized. Recognition is truly a beautiful thing and it is an honor to have students, faculty and staff consider you worthy of any honor.”

Henneberger hopes to bring more attention to the M Award to highlight the deserving SMU community members.

“It’s the most prestigious award the university can recognizetake the nomination seriously,” she said. “I hope everyone realizes that this is for the people who really impacted the community and it’s our time to say ‘thank you, you’ve been an inspiration.’”

Nominations for the 2015 M Awards are open now until Feb. 27. The 2015 Awards Extravaganza will be held Monday, April 13, 2015 at 7:30 PM in the Ballroom of the Hughes-Trigg Student Center.

Knitting is the domain of grandmas and craft circles with names like Rows Before Bros and Knitt Romney, right?

Wrong. Intelligent, creative college students are getting into the game, too.

Take, for instance, SMU’s Knitting Club. The group, who started meeting two weeks ago, meets at the Women’s Center every Friday at 2 p.m.

“I just wanted a place on campus where I could knit and talk knitting,” said SMU senior Jessica Bates.

“I like knitting because it’s a great stress-reliever.”

Bates, who started knitting on and off when she was 13, picked it back up about three years ago. “I’ve always loved crafts ever since I was a little kid,” said Bates. “I stuck with it because of all of the creative projects you can come up with.”

Bates is the Knitting Club’s resident specialist, doling out sage advice as she worked on a kaleidoscopic scarf. As a math major, she sees a lot of arithmetic in calculating stitch and row metrics.

“We knit and we talk and we talk about knitting,” said SMU junior Story Zanetti.

SMU Ad Club critiques Super Bowl advertisements Christen Limbaugh Contributing Writer climbaugh@mail.smu.edu The Super Bowl is an annual anomaly for American advertisers and is the one day each year people watch advertisements because they actually want to.

Tony Stubbs, the Creative Director for Hadeler Krueger, was one of three special guests at the Super Bowl Ad Critique hosted by the SMU Ad Club Monday evening. Chad Grandey, creative director for Commerce House, and Patrick O’Malley, copywriter for Commerce House, were the other two special guests among a close-knit group of about a dozen attendees.

SMU Ad Club President Genevieve Edgell organized the meeting, which broke down the Super Bowl ad spots quarter by quarter for analysis and discussion. The casual setting provided a relaxed environment for open dialogue between the students and professionals.

Grandey said his favorite

ad was Dove’s “Like a Girl” commercial, because it was built on a “truism.” Grandey asserted that the best ads are built on these truisms, or “gems,” and one of the hardest parts of being an advertiser is dissecting an idea or a product in order to find that gem.

Dodge’s “Wisdom” commercial was another one of the group’s favorites. The ad’s tone shifts from sentimentality to strength and motivation.

The group contended that the commercial was powerful because it not only promoted a product, but a lifestyle.

According to Steve Edwards, director of SMU’s Temerlin Advertising Institute and SMU advertising professor, these are the types of ads that truly resonate with their target demographic.

He gave the group a final thought to resonate before the evening’s conclusion.

“If you have an opportunity to make a difference, do it,” Edwards said. “Take a message and make it something that impacts people and creates a positive.”

student life

getting to know SMU’s Knitting Club “Now I’m knitting every week and I like it because it’s gotten me into the habit of doing it more.”

After picking up knitting two and a half years ago, she has had trouble consistently committing to a project. Nestled on an enormous red couch, Zanetti explained that she enjoys the club because it motivates her to knit on a regular basis. After examining a pair of intricate socks made by a fellow club member, she returned to knitting an impeccable, eggplant-hued scarf.

“I like to do something with my hands. I’m very easily distracted. If I don’t have a distraction, I’ll get distracted by something else,” said Zanetti.

“One of my favorite things to do is knit and watch TV.” The group is sponsored

by SMU’s Women & LGBT Center, which is an on-campus organization that inspires students to increase knowledge and awareness of gender equity matters.

The five SMU students that attended today’s meeting spoke about everything from knitting tips to a new phenomenon of spinning cat hair into yarn.

The club, which maintains knitting tools and yarn for its members, eagerly welcomes students to join regardless of skill level.

“An earlier date increases the likelihood that more alumni will attend and students will experience more of the SMU community rather than only their Greek affiliations.

It is a chance to rally behind a common identity and celebrate SMU’s first 100 years,” said Hamner.

Employers anticipate students arriving to the SMU Career and Internship Fair.

SMU Career and Internship Fair lets students network Sierra Uselton Contributing Writer suselton@mail.smu.edu Approximately 93 employers and 700 students participated in the SMU Career and Internship Fair Tuesday, Feb. 10 in the Hughes-Trigg Student Center Ballrooms.

This event gives students the chance to speak with potential employers about internships and full-time positions in their field while also making professional contacts.

Sophomore business management major Tessa Nemec said, “I came to the Career and Internship Fair seeking a way to get my foot in the door with companies I hope to work for after I graduate.”

Employers like State Farm Insurance Company, Neiman Marcus, and Northwestern Mutual were just a few of the notable companies in attendance.

“Getting to know the personalities of each company in a one-on-one setting and learning what they could offer for my long-term goals was a huge step in planning my career,” Nemec also said.

Not only do students get

the opportunity to network with companies in a more personal setting, they can also find the companies they wish to network with at the fair more easily.

Through the SMU Career Fair phone app, students were able to locate companies of their choice with the interactive floor plan.

The app also offered information such as complete company listings, event details, announcements of real-time updates and fair tips.

The SMU Career and Internship Fair benefits any student from the freshman seeking internships to seniors looking for full-time employment.

“Whether you are a senior seeking to solidify a job before graduation or a first-year student seeking to gain insight about the inner workings of a Career Fair and opportunities that are available, it is an event all students should attend,” said Regina James, Associate Director of the Hegi Family Career Development Center.

The Hegi Family Career Development Center sponsors the SMU Career and Internship Fair in both the spring and fall semesters.

Approximately 40 students, faculty and staff honed their leadership skills at Southern Methodist University’s Crain AllUniversity Leadership Conference in the Hughes Trigg Student Center Friday, Feb. 6 and Saturday, Feb 7.

Among the guest speakers, SMU head football coach Chad Morris stressed the importance of relationships and the leadership that stems from them. “Leadership and relationships work hand and hand,” Morris said. “You’re going to have to help people along the way.”

The conference helps SMU students enhance their leadership skills to better the world around them.

This year’s theme, “Ignite”, was meant to inspire and motivate the leaders of tomorrow by getting the students to work together.

The events that took place included various case studies examining leadership scenarios and group sessions. At the end of the first day, students engaged

in fun activities including laser tag.

After going to the conference last year, SMU senior Monica Estrada was looking forward to benefitting again from the program. “I learned how to work in groups and how to work on a team,” remarked the Colombian born student.

Additionally, SMU Vice President of Student Affairs Lori S. White emphasized how crucial a community is to a brighter future. “There is so much power in community,” remarked White.

“Become the SMU community that we all imagine.”

The exciting return of Harper Lee with a sequel to ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’

Courtesy of AP

Victoria’s Secret Angels Candice Swanepoel (left) and Lily Aldridge pose for Valentine’s Day.

Four memorable Valentine’s Day gifts that she’ll love It’s that time of the year again: Valentine’s Day. A day full of hope, full of promise, a day where the world celebrates the love we hold dear and the warmth of laying in the arms of the ones we love.

Whether you’ve been in love with someone for a week or for a lifetime, finding the perfect gift for your valentine remains a challenge.

You need a gift that is sweet, sentimental, and shows the grandeur of your devotion. A gift that shouts, “I LOVE YOU!” but quietly retreats and says, “You know, kind of. Only if you love me too.

But if not, that’s cool.”

Well, I’m here to make finding that perfect gift easier. I present the top four Valentine’s Day gift for her. Sorry ladies, men are impossible.

1. A bouquet of roses and a heart-shaped box filled with chocolate.

Yes, I’m serious. Yes, it’s a great gift. Yes, it’s a tad cliché, but when was the last time you heard of a girl receiving flowers and chocolate? Every year you tell yourself that it’s an overplayed and overrated gift, but I’m here to break that age-old adage.

Aundrea McClure, hopeless romantic and single (winks), confirms, “I think that they’re (flowers) the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, but you have to include chocolate!”

Are roses and chocolates a tragic cliché? Myth busted. Women love roses and they’d love to tell you that if men ever arranged for a bouquet.

And chocolates? Come on, son. Everybody loves chocolate.

2. Jewelry Can you ever go wrong with jewelry?

The great thing about buying your flame a necklace, bracelet or earrings is that there are so many stores, colors, and types that make it easy for you to make it a unique Valentine’s Day gift.

The only downside to jewelry? Sometimes, it becomes expensive. Unless ya’ll have been together for years, I’d stray away from anything exorbitant.

Little known fact, most people who know about James Avery live in Texas. But whether your date recently moved to Texas or lived here her entire life, I guarantee she will completely adore James Avery.

If you picture your partner as a hipster, Etsy’s the website you want to visit. Countless independent sellers that offer a vast spectrum of unique and handmade jewelry, Etsy represents every hipster’s heaven.

And for the creative and artsy girl, Swarovski is synonymous for paradise. An upscale store that sells fine-cut crystal jewelry at a reasonable price, your girl will love her sparkling crystal. But don’t worry; the smile she’ll wear will shine much brighter.

Other stores you may want to visit include: Kate Spade and Michael Kors. I usually pick out necklaces because some girls find bracelets irritating. Also, stay cautious about getting her a ring.

One last note, simply buying her jewelry isn’t enough. To make that day truly special, give some thought to how you present her with your gift.

STAFF COLUMN

nickson chong Opinion Editor

Everyone has read Harper Lee’s astounding novel “To Kill a Mockingbird,” whether by choice or by the will of an English teacher. If you have not read this classic, I highly suggest it, especially with the latest news.

After 55 years, Lee is set to publish a second novel.

This novel, to be titled “Go Set a Watchman,” was actually written before “To Kill a Mockingbird.” At the time, Lee’s publisher appreciated Scout’s voice but wanted more emphasis on what were flashbacks on her childhood. They told Lee to write a book from Scout’s young perspective and from there we were blessed with “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

In “Go Set a Watchman” Scout returns home to Maycomb, Alabama 20 years after Atticus defended Tom Robinson in court. The novel is to discuss the racial tension in the South during the 1950s.

If the sheer fact that an amazing author is to publish a sequel to one of the most praised books of all time doesn’t have you jumping for joy, let me explain further how epic this is.

1. Harper Lee became a recluse after her first novel was published. She went on a few interviews but after that she hid away. Although fans begged for another novel, Lee refused. Now, after 55 years, she has found the long lost manuscript for “Go Set a Watchman” and is willing to publish it. I bet some of you thought Lee was dead. Guess what, she’s still kicking it at age 88.

2. Weren’t you curious about what happened to Scout and Jem after the pages ended and the back

In the words of Pitbull, “We at the hotel, motel, Holiday Inn.” But really, no. Unless you’re sweeping her away to an exotic hotel and hold good intentions for an exciting weekend, don’t reserve that room.

Anyways, nothing says romantic as ardently as a weekend away. This year, with Valentine’s Day conveniently set on a Saturday, whisk your girl off on a perfect getaway.

A road trip down to Austin, Houston or your hometown, a day with you and your boo feels extra special if it’s only ya’ll two. An escape from the worries of work and school, a weekend in seclusion represents the answer to relieving the stresses of life.

So pack your bags and tie your shoelaces because Valentine’s Day serves as an excuse for an amorous getaway.

4. Homemade or handcrafted gifts Show off your artist within and craft your valentine a one of a kind gift.

Whether you possess skills like Andy Warhol or scribbles like a 2-year-old, she’ll enjoy her personally made artwork. Fine, fine, I use the term artwork loosely and it may help to have some artistic skill and drive.

But thankfully for those who can only draw a stick figure, many ideas require little skill. A few crafts that come to mind: a photo collage capturing your favorite moments and memories with her or her room covered with helium-filled balloons, each one with a note that shares a reason of why you love her.

“I would love 10 CD sets where one says ‘listen when you’re happy,’ another that says ‘listen when you’re sad,” said Chanel Johnson when asked what she wanted for Valentine’s Day. “Basically, one set for each mood. It’d be really cute.”

Get creative! The work you put into this project will amplify the gift itself. Don’t worry too much about aesthetics; she’ll love the fact that you even invested the time into her gift.

And there you have it, four great gifts for her this Valentine’s Day. These make up a few of the many ideas you can get her and feel free to check out other stores or websites for inspiration: Things Remembered, Pinterest, Tumblr.

Gifts remind us of how far we’ve come in a relationship and demonstrate our passion for one another. And while they can be sweet and sentimental, remember that the greatest gift this Valentine’s Day will always be, wholeheartedly, the hope and bliss of love.

cover was all that was left? Now is our chance to find out.

3. “To Kill a Mockingbird” is a renowned classic, taught in schools across the nation. If it is still being discussed more than 50 years after its publication, don’t you think its sequel will amount to a similar status? Not including our great-grandparents, how many people get to say a classic was published when they were alive? Our children’s children will probably complain about having to read this novel in high school English.

It could be my love for literature or it could be my weird and warped English major brain, but I am extremely excited for this novel’s release. By the way, it’s July 14. Put it in your calendars because history is going to be made. I’m thinking of having a release party before becoming a recluse myself for however long it takes me to read it.

Shirley Manson versus Kanye West: Whose side are you on? I’m with Manson There were several factors that went into making the 57th Annual Grammy Awards worthwhile.

Gorgeous celebrities donning equally stunning dresses, performances by Katy Perry, Hozier, and Sam Smith only to name a few, and of course Kanye West kanye-ing Beck, who was accepting a grammy for album of the year.

Degrading Kanye West to garbage, Garbage’s Shirley Manson dished on Mr. West’s antics, calling him ‘small’ and ‘petty.’ On Facebook, she unleashed hell: “Dear Kanye West, it is YOU who is so busy disrespecting artistry. In attempting to reduce the importance of one great talent over another, you make a mockery of all musicians and music from every genre.” Holy f******* damn.

Kanye West got called out, and to add more to his heartbreak, other artists sided with Manson.

I’m a huge fan of Kanye, except for “Yeezus” because come on what the hell was that. I usually tolerate his wild antics but interrupting someone while they were receiving away twice is uncalled for.

Kanye acts like a college dropout who shows up to graduation and mocks those who worked hard to

walk across that stage. So while Kanye may watch his throne, he should let other artists shine in the spotlight. Kanye, you’re not the center of the music world, so stop acting like a freshman and make an adjustment to your attitude.

Beyonce can speak up if she has something to say about Beck’s award; the Queen can fend for herself.

Beck, congratulations on best album of the year.

Manson, thank you for your courage on cursing Kanye. And Kanye, you can apologize by making an album better than “Yeezus.”

Analysis

Play hard, play smart, play together and have fun

Nikki’s Numbers

Brown remembers his mentor, Dean Smith Demetrio Teniente Sports Editor @Demo36 In the world of sports, we often throw around words like elite and legendary.

There are some rare occasions when those words are appropriately used.

And there are fewer instances still in which those words grossly fail to describe their target.

When speaking about Coach Dean Smith, there are no words to adequately describe his lasting impact on the world of basketball and the lives of players and coaches he touched during his lifetime.

Smith passed away last Saturday at the age of 83.

According to a family statement provided to the University of North Carolina, Smith battled dementia for years, and “passed away peacefully” in his Chapel Hill home with his wife and five children at his side.

Smith will most likely be remembered for his accomplishments on the court, but he made a significant impact off of it – especially in the Civil Rights Movement.

Sometime in the ‘50s, Smith

and pastor from an inclusive Baptist church dined with a black student at a restaurant that had a policy of not serving African-Americans.

Smith and his staff also broke the color barrier at UNC by recruiting the Tar Heels’ first African-American athlete in 1967.

SMU Head Coach Larry Brown was on that staff.

But that wasn’t the full extent of their relationship. Brown also played for Smith during his time at UNC. “The last few days were kind of tough,” Brown said. “But then I started to read al the wonderful things people were saying about him. He was a great man, a great teacher and an unbelievable coach. And his impact on our sport is going to be long lasting and I hope I can continue to share the things he taught me with our guys.”

It is undeniable; everyone that ever worked with Smith says that he was a special person.

“The more you got to be around him, the more you realized how much he cared about you,” Brown said. “And I think he made everybody from the first guy on the team to the last feel like you were his favorite. That takes a rare

individual to do that.”

Brown has spoken about Smith’s influence on his coaching style, but that’s not where his impact ends.

“I try everyday to be like him and I fall short everyday,” Brown said. “He didn’t have a lot of time for people outside of the program except for when there were some causes that he really believed in.

He devoted all his time to his players and their families” In 2013, Smith received a Presidential Medal of Freedom because of his civil rights work.

Smith once wrote: “We’re human beings first, coaches and players second, and in the ‘60s we had to strike an extremely delicate balance between the two.”

On the Sunday after Smith’s passing, President Barack Obama issued a statement - part of which that read: “America lost not just a coaching legend, but a gentleman and a citizen.”

“I think he was the greatest coach of a team sport there ever was because of all the things he did for his players and how he prepared you, not only for the sport you played but how to live your life,” Brown said. “Not a day goes by, not a practice goes by that I don’t try to be the things that

1 The number of recipients for the SMU Legends Award. The Legends Award, presented by the SMU Lettermen’s Association and the Department of Athletics, recognizes an individual who has made extraordinary contributions to the success and legacy of the SMU Athletics Program that fall outside of the realm of athletic success.

Hayden Fry will be the first recipient of the award on May 1 for his outstanding achievements as the SMU football team’s head coach starting in 1962, continuing for 11 seasons. Fry brought SMU a Southwest Conference Championship and three Bowl appearances. Fry was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003.

6 The number of players the SMU Women’s Soccer Team acquired on National Signing Day. The Mustangs added one keeper, Catie Brown from California, two midfielders, Katie Carr from California and Blair Thorpe from Dallas, two defenders, Kat Wood and Haley Thompson from Colorado, and one forward,

Moody’s doors will open to fans at 8:15 a.m. and they will stay open all day as GameDay hosts Rece Davis, Seth Greenberg, and Jay Williams prepare for SMU to take on the defending NCAA champions, the UConn Huskies, at 8 p.m.

16 The number of points SMU Men’s Basketball’s Cannen Cunningham scored to propel the Mustangs to a 68-57 win over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.

Cunningham’s 16 points is a season high for the senior center.

Cunningham and Nic Moore led a 15-0 run to start the second half.

Nic Moore scored a team-high 23 points and Yanick Moreira had 13 points and 13 rebounds.

22 The number of seasons SMU women’s volleyball head coach Lisa Seifert will have coached after completing her newly signed three year extension contract. Seifert has been the only coach in the team’s history since she started the

program in 1996. Seifert is coming off her most successful season as the Mustangs won 26 games and won their first game against a ranked team, which was against No. 24 Oklahoma.

Seifert recorded her 300 win this past season and she was elected in 2013 by fellow coaches to be President of the League Coaches for the AAC.

24 The rank of SMU men’s basketball in the AP Top 25 poll.

The Mustangs barely hang on to their rank this week after losing to Cincinnati for the second time this season. However, their win against formerly undefeated Tulsa, kept them in the ranks.

27 The number of points SMU women’s basketball’s first-year Alicia Froling scored against UCF last Saturday to bring the Mustangs their first AAC win this season.

Twenty-seven is Froling’s career high and it was the second-most points ever scored by a first-year.

Froling also had 10 rebounds, marking her fifth double-double and third in her last four games.

SMU takes on Tulsa Saturday at 1 p.m. and will be part of ESPN’s College GameDay coverage as well.

Women’s Golf

Mustangs tie for 13th in Opening Tournament Patrick Engel Staff Writer @Patrick_Engel94 SMU ties for 13th in Opening Tournament of 2015.

The SMU women’s golf team tied for 13th at the UCF Challenge at Eagle Creek Golf Club, completing the third of three rounds Tuesday morning.

It was the first event for the Mustangs since late October.

They shot 888 (297, 290, 301) as a team, led by junior Jenny Haglund’s three-over (219: 73, 70, 76).

Haglund pared 15 holes as part of her four-over 76 in the

final round.

She finished even par on par 3’s and one-under on par 5’s during the 54-hole event.

Her 29th-place individual finish led the team and was her fourth top 30 finish of the season.

Senior Jennifer Park birdied three holes en route to shooting 74 in the final round. She shot 228 for the tournament.

SMU finished the first two rounds in 15th, but moved up two spots on the final day.

Virginia shot 850 to win the tournament.

“We had the opportunity to move up today,” head coach

Jeanne Sutherland said.

“The winds were high and there were higher scores across the board. I was happy to see Jennifer close the weekend on a high note.”

Sophomore Evelyn Doyle shot 76 on the final round to finish at 223 (71, 76, 76), sophomore Lindsey McCurdy finished with a three-over 227 (79, 73, 75) and junior Alexandra Rossi shot 224 (74, 72, 78).

The Mustangs’ next event is the UC Irvine Invitational, which starts Feb. 23 and will be held at the Santa Ana Country Club.

WEDNESDAY n FEBRUARY 11, 2015 Holiday Shopping

The perfect guide for Valentine’s Day gifting Gabriella Bradley Style Editor gjbradley@smu.edu Valentine’s Day. For some, it’s a day that reminds them of how lucky they are to have found “the one,” the person who is their second half, their soul mate, their everything. For others, it’s just

another day that reminds them that, indeed, they are single…for the third year in a row.

Whether this day brings you insurmountable amounts of joy or makes you want to jump off a cliff, it is undeniable that retail industry has capitalized on this holiday.

A box of chocolates is either something you give to significant

other, or what you plan to drown your sorrows in as you binge watch dozens of Friends episodes.

A human sized teddy bear can either bring a huge smile to your hubby’s face, or you can use its baseball glove-sized hand to wipe away your tears as Rose watches Jack sink down into the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean

post-Titanic sinking.

Regardless of how much you glare at the television sized greeting cards with the God awful hearts and mushy sayings on them, Valentine’s Day commodities are not going anywhere any time soon.

Thankfully, there are some heart shaped, red and pink offerings that won’t immediately

trigger your gag reflexes right in our neighborhood. Mockingbird Station, which is just across the US-75 from the new Residential Commons, offers a selection of the stores you have grown up on: Victoria’s Secret, Urban Outfitters and Francesca’s among others. If you go the other direction, straight down Mockingbird Lane, you will

run into Highland Park Village, which offers a higher-end selection of stores.

For your shopping convenience, I have compiled the best these destinations have to offer. Whether it is for your sister, your significant other or just yourself, get out there this weekend and buy something pretty in the name of love.
