MONEY MATTERS

IMPORTANCE OF BUDGETING

BY AUSTIN METZ GVL ASSOCIATE EDITOR

hether you are driving a beater or your parents Audi, eating Ramen

noodles or eating at the cafeteria everyday, as students, money matters. Luis Lozano is the assistant director of student employment and financial aid at Grand Valley State University, and part of his job is helping students when it comes to issues

“It really starts with understanding income and expenses, right away especially,” Lozano said. “I know students sometimes, the first time they get a job is when they come to Grand Valley and obviously now they have income and they need to figure out what to do with it. There are lots of expenses, some may be paying for college, some may need book money, some may need money for pizza on the weekends.” From there, students need to learn to create a budget. “Understanding things coming in and how that money is going to be

spent, it really encompasses creating a first things because then they can budget,” Lozano said. “Definitely one understand wants versus needs and of the most imporif they have extra tant things to really cash, that’s when keep (students) on a “It really starts with they can start savgood financial track ing and investing is creating a budget. understanding income it.

with money. To him, the first place to start is understanding what money is coming in and how to spend it.

WANTS VERSUS NEEDS The last concept students need to consider while in college when it comes to money is realizing what students truly need compared to what they just want. “One of the most challenging things to really overcome is understanding a want versus a need,” Lozano said. “A lot of students come in here saying they really need to buy these clothes or I really need to go on this spring break trip or I really

need to buy this new phone or the iPad mini.” Lozano used the example of buying coffee on GVSU’s campus or at McDonalds. He said students may spend $4 on something like coffee and a bagel, which doesn’t seem like a lot. If students do that every day during the academic year, they would spend $1,460 in one year. “This is where, going back to the

budgeting, understanding, ‘how can I be a better manager of the money I have,’” Lozano said. “Instead of buying a $4 cup of coffee, because that is a need for a lot of students that they perceive it, ‘I need a cup of coffee in the morning,’ go out and buy yourself a coffee maker for $20 and a big tub of Folgers for $10, you have invested $30, but now you have enough to make 120 cups of coffee.”

KEEPING UP WITH CREDIT SCORES AND REPORTS Along with setting up a solid budget, Lozano said students need to educate themselves on student

loans. He said understand- the idea to keep in mind bad credit can affect ing how they work and is that when using a credit students down the road how much you really need card, it is important to by looking at buying a to take out can be very im- make sure you have the $15,000 car. money to pay it back. portant.

he key to investing is to start early and be patient. Some years your investments will perform poorly, and some years they will perform very well. If you are investing for retirement, it is very likely you will be saving for at least 30 years. As an investor, your main defense against the volatility of the stock market is to start saving early. This is because every year, the money you have saved will give you a return, whether it is through interest or capital gains. When saving, time is your best friend. With most investments the return is compounded, which means that instead of getting a percentage of your initial investment every year, you get a percentage of what the investment is currently worth. Let’s say you start with $1,000, and earn 8% in returns every year. This return is compounded, which means that each year you are gaining 8% of what your investment is currently worth, not 8% of what it was worth in the first year. When your return is compounded, you earn more than if it was not compounded. If you invest $1,000 on January 1st, 2013, it will be worth $2,158.92 in 2023.

amount you add to your investment by $100 a month (an extra $43,500 over the course of 30 years) you increase the final value of your investment by $104,104.01. One thing to remember is that the amount of return you get on your investment will change each year. Some years you may gain 1%, and another you may gain 25%. There is no way to predict what the market will do, and the best defense against that is to start early and be patient. The earlier you invest, the more you will gain from interest and have your money do the work for you. You don’t need to pick the best investments that give the highest return, because over time your investments will grow much more than someone who only invested for a few years. By being patient and continually adding to your investment, your payments will contribute to the total value and increase your returns.

MUSIC

Tim Hecker and Daniel Lopatin

Alicia Keys

Life of Pi earns its stripes

Instrumental Tourist

Girl On Fire

No “Piano Drop,” no “Hatred of Music,” no “Sleep Dealer,” no “Behind the Bank” and certainly no “Emergency Room.” No memorable tracks whatsoever. Tim Hecker and Daniel Lopatin’s “Instrumental Tourist” is a disappointing collaboration between two great solo electronic artists. Hecker and Lopatin’s greatness comes in part from their ability to create emotional and memorable ambient tracks. Here, Hecker’s low-end swells and distinct staccato muting are poorly punctuated with Lopatin’s lazy keyboard-woodwind chords and breathy tones. Independently, the artists use interesting sounds with direction. On “Instrumental Tourist,” unimaginative noisemaking meanders nowhere. “GRM Blu I” approaches the whimsical moments of certain Oneohtrix Point Never tracks but only lasts for 51 seconds. It is the only bright spot in a sea of sludgy electronic improvisation. According to Mexican Summer, Hecker and Lopatin wanted to recreate classic jazz improvisation and prepared very little for their studio meetings. That’s apparent, and it’s a shame.

Alicia Keys delivers a soulful gem with her new album “Girl On Fire.” She begins in classic Keys style, with a beautiful piano intro that sets the pace for the album. It leads into a personal, stripped-down number that showcases her voice supported by piano and a subtle beat. There are up-tempo songs that help move the album along, but the smooth, deep songs are where Keys shines. The album is filled with a classic style of R&B — female strength — countered by being vulnerable to a love that might not be any good. Her work on this album tops her previous “As I Am” and “The Element of Freedom.” Keys is comfortably within her range and never over-performs. The only skippable song on the album is the annoying song “New Day,” produced by her husband, Swizz Beats. The beat is repetitive and irritating. Nevertheless, “Girl On Fire” is definitely an album you need for your R&B collection. Keys is one of few mainstream artists still making soulful music. BY ERIN CARSON

Life of Pi

Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Rafe Spall 9/10 Never before has an enormous Bengal tiger seemed like such a desirable traveling companion. But when you’re adrift at sea for 227 days, the presence of any living creature to keep you sane is invaluable. Or at least that’s the case in “Life of Pi,” the highly anticipated adaptation of Yann Martel’s popular 2001 novel. It’s worth the wait. Ang Lee (“Brokeback Mountain,” “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon”) directs a gorgeous spectacle, an example of proper 3D storytelling that draws you in and keeps you close. “Life of Pi” tells the tale of Piscine Molitor Patel, a boy named for a Parisian swimming pool who shortens his name to the Greek letter “Pi” to avoid

MCT CAMPUS

teasing at school. Having grown up in the town of Pondicherry, India, alongside his father’s zoo, Pi is fascinated by animals and religion, ultimately choosing to accept Hinduism, Christianity and Islam into his heart. His connection to God carries him through an unimaginable disaster when his

family’s ship sinks in a storm on their way to Canada. Pi is the lone human survivor, stranded on a lifeboat with a zebra, an orangutan, a vicious hyena and a fearsome Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. Eventually, it’s just Pi and the tiger. As if the challenges of surviving at sea weren’t enough, Pi must also learn to keep

himself from becoming Richard Parker’s last meal. We learn all this from the adult Pi (Irrfan Khan) as he recounts the teenage Pi’s (Suraj Sharma) story to a Canadian writer (Rafe Spall). While David Magee’s PG script spares the audience from the graphic details of Pi’s struggles, the visuals Lee provides are more than enough. His use of 3D is so effective you feel seasick just watching the ocean waves. Each scene at sea is a visceral experience, and the images explode with vibrant color. Richard Parker is a CGI masterpiece from head to tail. Khan and Sharma’s strong performances and loyalty to Martel’s brilliant yarn bring remarkable depth and emotion to Lee’s stunning display. The chilling twist at the end doesn’t pack quite the punch it does in the book, but the overall result is still thrilling. “Life of Pi” is a cinematic beauty. Lee’s film not only brings Martel’s pages to the screen, it brings them to life. BY MINA ASAYESH-BROWN

Manhattan is a growing and changing community. Growth at K-State and Ft. Riley along with the potential growth associated with NBAF has attracted several regional and national retailers and restaurants to the area. is has put pressure on locally owned stores and eateries as people who are new to town tend to gravitate towards a business with a familiar name or products. As a longtime local retailer (over 3 decades!) and KSU alumnus I want to encourage you to consider exploring the multitude of fine local establishments Manhattan has to offer. Many of these businesses are owned, operated and staffed by K-Staters. For example, every person in our organization is either an alumnus or is currently a KSU student, with only one exception, and he is a student at Manhattan Christian College. So we bleed purple! We work hard to serve the students and faculty of Kansas State University. And that story is repeated over and over in many of the businesses here in Manhattan. One way a local business brings value to students is by providing products and services specifically tailored to our community. For example, our store sells high performance winter gloves which our customers primarily use here in Kansas along with using them for skiing and mountaineering in the Rockies. We feel that the gloves that work best for those conditions are at least windproof and ideally are also waterproof. A big box store typically only stocks what’s popular nationally, whether or not those gloves make sense for the weather conditions here. A specialty store based in Manhattan has employees who participate in local events such as runs, bike races, or fishing tournaments. ese employees advise their stores on what products work best for local activities, as well as which products are not working. us the local store can adapt its inventory and services to meet its customers’ needs as the area conditions and events evolve over time. Plus these employees can also work with their customers to educate them on the ins and outs of the local scene, as well as recommend the best products while providing the service that brings real long-term value to their customers. We all want selection and convenience, and sometimes it may seem like a big box store or on-line shopping site offers that. But a deeper analysis reveals that a local store, by having a tighter focus on their customers, will often have a more useful selection of products. Combine that with the convenience of product on hand for customers to see and feel, plus employees who can explain those products, and the result is a relationship that offers true value and long-term satisfaction. ere will be more articles to come in this series. We will also talk about the value that local businesses bring to their customers through personal relationships, through support of community and university events and fundraisers, and by providing employment for KSU students. In the meantime, we challenge you to find a locally owned store, like those featured in the accompanying advertisements, and pay them a visit. Get out of your comfort zone and try something new where you shop, eat and have fun. You just may enjoy making new connections to your Manhattan community.

We asked you why you love Manhattan... Chris Harrison It’s all about the school spirit. Samantha Marshall Because even though the town of Manhattan is constantly is changing and growing, somehow it’s still the same. It’s “the spot I know full well tis not in forest not yet in dell.” Carla Hasenbank Manhattan was dormant for years, not allowing growth such as restaurants, hotels and new stores to come in to Manhattan. I believe that Manhattan has Bill Snyder to thank for that! After many years of wins, Manhattan finally understood that Coach Snyder was a Miracle to Manhattan and he was here to stay! At that time, finally, Manhattan started changing with new highways, restaurants, hotels, new stores along with the growth of the Kansas State University. We need to stop and think and THANK Coach Bill Snyder for his hard work and dedication to KSU and for the growth that he has brought to the town of Manhattan, Kansas! I love this town, Manhattan, Kansas, and have lived here for 52 years. Hannah Loftus Manhattan = Manhappiness. Chad ‘Cx’ Miller Unlike many other mid-sized Kansas towns, dining in Manhattan offers exceptional variety and quality.

CRIME FROM PAGE 1 reporting statistics, Strom said the increase likely reflects more reporting, not more crime. “That number represents an underreporting of the actual depth of the problem, and I think that’s true from campus to campus. For me, when I see that number start to go up, it’s troubling that it happens at all, but it’s encouraging that at some level, people are willing to come forward, report it to whoever they report it to and that it gets into either a system of support for that survivor of the sexual assault, or that there are consequences that can be handled either through the judicial code or some other place for that sexual assault,” Strom said. “I would be more disturbed to see a zero number there, because I know that would totally under-represent the problem,” he added. Assistant Director for Sexual Assault and Community Health Services, Kim Webb, agreed that the statistics likely represent reporting more than prevalence. She cited the national statistic that one in four women and one in 33 men experience sexual assault on college campuses as likely more accurate. “I don’t know that I’ve seen anything different as far as sexual assault trends. I don’t know that the statistics are going up. I know that people are utilizing services more and that we’re doing a better job of promoting services and hopefully creating safety so that people are accessing those resources more,” she said. Still, some students voiced some concerns with the numbers. “I was actually surprised to hear about all the sexual assault statistics; that’s what really scared me,” sophomore June Jennings said. Strom cautioned viewers of the statistics to heed aspects of crime the report does not include. While the Clery Act mandates reporting for

PATENT FROM PAGE 1 burglary or unauthorized entrance into private space for criminal purposes, it does not require reporting for larceny or theft. Therefore, things such as bike thefts, which Strom noted have increased so far this year, will not be reported in the Clery Act statistics. WUPD Information and Evidence Assistant, Wendy Oloteo, who helped compile the statistics, said they might be artificially high for various reasons. Incidents reported casually to “campus security authorities,” such as deans, athletic coaches and members of residential life are included in the Clery report, in addition to those reported directly to the police department. If incidents are reported to more than one authority confidentially, they may be counted twice. “There’s reporting that you can do confidentially, so we try to make sure we don’t double count. But we have no way of knowing if they’ve told maybe [Student] Health Services and then filled out a confidential report that we’ve now counted something twice,” Oloteo said. Oloteo also noted that the statistics show only crime reporting, not the resolution of those reports. “What this doesn’t show, what they don’t want to know, is how many of these are cleared by arrest. That’s an important part of what we do, you know. The theft happens, but are we able to either recover the property or arrest the suspect,” she said. While freshman Emily Dawes had reservations about going to school in one of the nation’s most dangerous cities, she said her mind changed when she got here. “I have never felt unsafe on campus and don’t see crime as a large problem here. Even so, the campus has taken a lot of steps to ensure anyone who may be more uncomfortable feel safe too,” she said.

Motorola. Not for its telephones, but for its patents. And it bought it for its patents not because it wanted to sue Apple and to try to get Apple out of the market,” Levine said. “They bought its patents so as to try to create a credible threat to prevent Apple from suing them. There’s no mystery in this. This defensive purpose of patents is well understood by everyone in the industry.” The legal gridlock reached as a result of opportunistic patent wars even sparked U.S. Court of Appeals judge Richard Posner to write, “Why there are too many patents in America” in The Atlantic Monthly earlier this year. In the article, he argues that industries have different needs for patents, but patent law is uniform across industries. Like Posner, Levine emphasized that in industries like technology, the cost to innovate is quite low, but the patent system is set up to be zero-sum. “If all the patents were enforced, nobody would be able to write a computer program. It’s complete madness. Any piece is relatively inexpensive to develop. The big reward is not in the patent,” Levine said. Keith Sawyer, professor of psychology and education at Washington University and author of “Explaining Creativity: The Science of Human Innovation,” also takes issue with the patent system.

“There’s liter- Rising number of patent cases in U. S.

Freshman Nicole Williamson lauded Vowell’s books as both entertaining and educational. “I think it is an interesting perspective on American culture and that it is important for us to read her books, not only because they are funny but because they provide lots of insight,” Williamson said.

Many American Culture Studies class curriculums, including a focus program on memory and memoir, use Vowell’s books. “In many ways, her work is fundamentally asking questions that are central to our program’s core intellectual mission,” Heidi Kolk, assistant director of American Culture Studies, said.

Self-described ‘living murder victim’ speaks out Mary Jo Buttafuoco, who survived a nearly fatal gunshot wound in 1992, now a voice of empowerment By Natalie Johnson contributing writer

Mary Jo Buttafuoco was standing on her front porch in a quiet suburban neighborhood when a bullet ripped into her skull, knocking her flat on the pavement. “I identify myself as a living murder victim,” Buttafuoco told the audience as she opened her speech on Monday night. Buttafuoco, 37 at the time, was shot by 17-year-old Amy Fisher in 1992. Fisher seemed like a normal high school teenager. But she was hiding a dark secret: She had been sleeping with Buttafuoco’s then-husband and decided she needed to kill off the other woman in his life. It took only a two-minute conversation between Buttafuoco and Fisher before Buttafuoco was unexpectedly shot and her life was changed forever. “There was no reason for me to think that this was the last day of my life as I knew it,”

Buttafuoco said. Buttafuoco’s living hell had only just begun. A storm of media attention and detectives surrounded her, and she quickly slipped into depression. Percocet and Xanax became a necessity for normalcy as drug addiction took over her life. “It got to the point where I was taking 40 pills a day just to feel normal,” Buttafuoco said. Throughout her entire life, Buttafuoco struggled with low self-esteem and little selfrespect, causing her to fall into the arms of a sociopathic man, Joey Buttafuoco. “I had a tape playing in my head telling me that I was stupid, that I wasn’t good enough,” Buttafuoco said, “and so I settled.” Forced to go to rehab, Buttafuoco took a turn for the better. “I realized that I had a choice. I didn’t have to be mad anymore,” Buttafuoco said. “It was a conscious effort every day [to turn off the tape] when the first thing you want to do

is put yourself down. I had to tell myself, I’m going to be positive. It’s really reprogramming your brain.” With her new, revitalized self and a boost in self-esteem, Buttafuoco realized she needed to leave her husband. The event was put on by Campus Assault ResponsE, an on-campus organization that strives to educate students about assault and find assault victims the necessary resources. For the past three years, CARE has been trying to find a speaker that focused on intimate partner violence. “We saw [Buttafuoco’s] story and thought it would be something college kids could understand and relate to,” said Ashley Libby, president of CARE and a senior English major. Students were stunned at Buttafuoco’s story and deeply respected her resilience. “I found the speech to be really empowering,” said Nicholas Hagans, a sophomore

physics major. Other students were shocked Buttafuoco’s husband didn’t seem all that different from people they knew. “A girl from my high school dated a guy that sounded very similar to Joey,” said Julie Thomas, a freshman political science major. “Whenever she would try to break up with him he would threaten to kill

himself.” Buttafuoco is now happily married to another man and a member of Campus Speak. “I’m glad it all worked out for her and she’s in a good relationship now,” Thomas said. “It’s like a happy ending to a terrible story.” Buttafuoco sees her story as a blessing, hoping that other students can learn from her

comedy review

With $5 getting you less and less each day, comedian Aziz Ansari’s newest comedy special is a fine use of a Jefferson. Following in the footsteps of Louis C.K.’s “Live at the Beacon Theatre,” Ansari’s self-released stand-up special cuts out the middleman of record companies or the need for a Comedy Central or HBO slot. It’s a move that inadvertently shows Ansari’s place in the comedy scene as one of its biggest players. “Dangerously Delicious” is a pretty funny bit of stand-up. Five bucks gets an hour-long, uncensored set that can be streamed or downloaded, that touches on everything from artificiality in pornography to eavesdropping on 50 Cent.

But the special finds Ansari in a very different place, reflecting the change in profile since his first stand-up special in 2010. Ansari has always fashioned himself as an outsider, but now readily employs the same confidence and swagger of the hip-hop stars he idolizes and now interacts with. There’s an escalation in celebrity craziness that comes from Ansari’s trips to the courts of hip-hop royalty, but it can come at the cost of relatability. It might not be fair to tell Ansari to pick a side, but the dichotomy between the two seems so far gone that the line between his ever-expanding status and his everyday guy material is worn a little thin. A shift is even seen in Ansari’s mannerisms. Playing to bigger crowds and theaters in addition to increasing

comfort on stage has amped up his mannerisms and inflections. It’s a wise choice to put the special out on video, as the visuals of Ansari prancing around the stage sell jokes, especially one regarding on-the-fly vulgar sign language. And while it never collapses into exaggerated mugging, it could easily get exhausting in the long term. But don’t worry, Ansari hasn’t completely changed. The skewed and selfcentered worldview of his bizarre cousin Harris and his continued ruminations on R. Kelly from his last special are revisited for a reason. Most

and respect themselves so others will, too. “Value yourselves,” Buttafuoco said. “If we all value ourselves, we’ll be OK and we won’t get into relationships that are toxic, broken and hurtful.”

bits are road-tested winners. Fans who attended his JMU show in 2009 will recognize a few of the jokes. As a film and TV star, it feels less essential for Ansari to subvert the traditional comedy distribution model. The C.K. comparison really only applies to the means of transmission. Creatively it’s almost unfair, with C.K. a veteran performer on a world-conquering rampage right now, and this is merely Ansari’s second special. “Delicious” won’t be mistaken for the call for creative autonomy that C.K.’s special and television show are, but more a test case for a new method of distribution. Ansari will tour his new special, “Buried Alive,” this summer. Tickets are much more than $5.

>> LIFE OF PI

ng Lee is a relatively new director for the American audience but something tells me as soon as audiences see his work in Life of Pi, the Taiwaneseborn director will become a household name. Based on the 2006 book of the same name, Life of Pi follows a young Indian man after he survives a harrowing shipwreck that took everything from him in its wake. Lee’s movie takes on an ethereal artistic direction that is very much the most visually appealing movie of the year, if not the past decade. While the movie may be in 3D

format, Lee’s seamless storytelling makes the viewer forget their 3D glasses were ever worn. Suraj Sharma plays the young Pi. Sharma, also relatively unknown name, makes a breakout performance as the shippwrrecked youth. Life of Pi’s story forces Sharma to reach deep within himself and display a character so absent of mind and basic humanities that, at points, it’s hard to watch. Considering that a bulk of the story revolves around the young Pi and his fate on the trepid Pacific oceans, there are not many supporting characters to mention. However,

A TRUE VISUAL TREAT Lee and the visual department do a superb job of crafting the tiger that Pi is shipwrecked with. The tiger, which may or may not be a metaphor for Pi, is the source for much conflict in the film, as Pi struggles to keep both their hungers at bay. While the movie may have a far-fetched concept, the underlying lessons attached to Life of Pi make the payoff worthwhile. Life of Pi opens Nov. 21.

The Academy Awards bumped up its submission deadline to Jan. 1 this year, which means we will be seeing a slue of releases as the year comes to a close. While Silver Linings Playbook took the early Best Picture leads, it seems as if Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln is garnering most of the awards chatter. However, that doesn’t mean that later releases like Les Miserables won’t make a spirited run for the top prize. In terms of individual awards, Daniel Day-Lewis is a lock for Best Actor while the Best Actress category is up for grabs. The Academy Awards air Feb. 24, 2013.

t’s not often that Bradley Cooper takes a serious turn in acting, but when he does it’s a treat for all of us. Cooper sheds his “heartthrob” status in exchange for a deeper role in Silver Linings Playbook, a brilliantly penned story that follows a recent mental hospital exoneree and the adaptations he’s forced to make outside the walls of a mental hospital. Cooper landed himself in said hospital after walking in on his wife and her boss in the shower. Jennifer Lawrence, per usual, is at the top of her game as Tiffany, an equally crazy counterpart to Cooper, who lost her husband in war. Together, Lawrence and Cooper make for a quirky, completely crazy couple that end up competing in a ballroom dance competition as the film nears completion. The real heart behind Silver

Linings Playbook comes from its story. Based on the 2008 book of the same name, Playbook is a rare look into the American family that often goes untouched on the silver screen. David O. Russell is back in the director’s chair after his Oscar worthy performance for The Fighter and once again impresses with his adaptation of the story. While the film may not be near as gritty as The Fighter, there are times in Playbook where the two films closely resemble each other. Robert De Niro turns up in the film as Cooper’s father. De Niro’s character has severe obsessive compulsive disorder and an even worse gambling problem, which makes him just as crazy as his certifiable son. De Niro’s slow burning acting skills are perfect for the role. Expect for the veteran actor to make a strong case in the Supporting Actor category at the Academy Awards come February. Silver Linings Playbook opens Nov. 21.

ise of the Guardians forces its audience, whether children or adults, to do one thing — believe. With a cast consisting of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and Jack Frost one would be lost without a slight bit of Courtesy of Film District

>>RED DAWN

n 1984, when the original Red Dawn was released, Cold War tensions were at their peak and burgeoning actors Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey and Charlie Sheen were on their way toward superstardom. The Russian invasion of the United States featured in the movie’s plot was not as unlikely as it seems today. Flash forward almost 30 years and an invasion of the United States seems less plausible. Nonetheless, the recent of reproduction of Red Dawn poorly makes the case for a North Korean invasion. While paratroopers and tanks roam the streets of Spokane, Wash., a ragtag group of teenagers gather together with an Iraq war veteran, played by Chris Hemsworth, to rebel against the North Korean invaders. By picking off random officers here and there, blowing up check-

in stations and generally irritating the new government of Spokane, the teen resistance fighters, known by their school mascot’s name the Wolverines, try to unite their city against the attack. The movie is almost exclusively intense, longlasting action scenes filled with firefights and incredible stunts. “Dude, we’re living Call of Duty,” one Wolverine said. Red Dawn relies heavily on these well-executed action montages, making up for the flat but supposedly romantic and sentimental dialogue scenes. Both Hemsworth and onscreen brother Josh Peck struggle to convey any semblance of sibling chemistry or rivalry. Connor Cruise, son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, delivers the most emotional lines and scenes of the movie and exemplifies the themes of sacrifice and national pride that run overtly

RETRO ACTION

throughout the film. For fans of the original Red Dawn,, the remake provides an entirely new perspective and an even thinner plot, but still holds the same emotional message conveyed in the 1984 flick. “When you’re fighting in your own back yard, when you’re fighting for your family, it hurts a little less and it makes a little more sense,” Hemsworth’s character said in the film. The intense action scenes, a characteristic of director and renowned stunt coordinator Dan Bradley, make up for the lackluster acting — resulting in an entertaining but superficial remake of the ‘80s cult classic. Red Dawn opens in theaters Nov. 21.

confidence in the existence of these fictional beings. Rise of the Guardians rests on the premise that these characters exist to protect children from evil. In this case, the Bogeyman. Fueled by darkness and nightmares, the Bogeyman — who goes by the name Pitch — has devised a plan to make children lose their beliefs in Santa Claus and company — thus making them lose their powers and allow Pitch to return to the position he held during the Dark Ages. Jack Frost, voiced by Chris Pine, plays an integral part in the

film as he is asked to be a guardian despite the lack of belief children hold for him. While the story behind Rise of the Guardians is sometimes too taxing to swallow, the visuals accompanied with the film are perhaps the best of any animated film this year. The film takes advantage of 3D format and transforms falling snow and Santa’s workshop into life-like recreations that are full of wonder. For the kids, it is a must see. For adults, it just may make you believe once more.

The SMU men’s basketball team pushed its record to 3-0 with a 78-75 win over Texas State Saturday night. SMU survived a late rally from Texas State — showing dramatic improvement at the free throw line down the stretch compared to the team’s performance at TCU two nights earlier. SMU team was 24-28 from the free throw line for the night. SMU got another big performance from junior Nick Russell, who finished with 25 points. Equally impressive was Jalen Jones who added 24 for the Mustangs. The 24 points are Jones’ career high, surpassing his 21

against TCU. Jones also tied his career-high three blocks against Texas State. Another player that impressed head coach Larry Brown Saturday was Cannen Cunningham “Aside from Ryan [Manuel] and Nick [Russell], Cannen [Cunningham] was the difference, I thought—his interior defense the second half.” Brown said after the game. The Mustangs led almost the entire night, and had a 39-32 lead at halftime. However, SMU had to survive a late-game comeback that even had coach Brown on edge. Joel Wright, who was the high man on the night with 28 points, led Texas State in its comeback. There were two keys to the Mustangs’ victory over Texas State.

The team was able to manage the tough Texas State pressure as the game went along even though the team did surrender some turnovers. The bigger advantage came on second-chance points where the Mustangs outscored the Bobcats 12-10. Next up for the Mustangs is a home game against Malone College in the Hoops for Hope Classic. According to Brown, SMU was Mustangs were originally scheduled to play Alcorn State. Since the Mustangs are already scheduled in a tournament with Alcorn the team had to change its opponent. Undefeated SMU takes on Malone at 8 p.m. Monday in Moody Coliseum. The team will also play Rider at home at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the tournament.
