Behind an exhibition at the Meadows Museum ALLISON GLANDER Contributing Writer aglander@smu.edu Most people familiar with SMU know that the Meadows Museum boasts one of the most comprehensive collections of Spanish art outside of Spain. But what many don’t know is what it takes to bring an exhibition to life. The museum goes through a similar process in obtaining and displaying art as the country’s largest museums do, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. From an exhibit’s conception, to when it makes it on display, the art must be carefully handled every step of the way. Every detail of the exhibit must be decided — even the paint color on the walls. “I realize that art handling happens before paintings make it to museums, but I didn’t know forming an exhibit was such an involved process,” junior Morgan Fatora said. Here’s a behind-thescenes look at how a piece of artwork makes it to the walls of the Meadows Museum: From Meeting to Museum Every Tuesday, the Meadows Museum curatorial team meets to discuss acquisitions, loan requests, future exhibitions, and other plans, according to Bridget Marx, associate director of the museum. If an exhibition is in the works, a curator drafts a “wish list” of works they would like for the show, according to an email from Meadows curator Nicole Atzbach. The curator

drafts loan request letters to send to the institutions and collectors who own the works, asking to borrow them. Once its determined whether or not there are enough works able to be loaned, the exhibition can proceed. Now, the actual paintings come into play. “All of our paintings are transported in museumquality crates and are accompanied by a courier from the museum that travels with the works wherever they go,” Marx said. When the art arrives at the institution where it will be installed, the courier sees that the work is safely stored at its new location and its crate to acclimate to the new environment for 24 to 48 hours. Creating an Exhibition Now, the registrar completes a comprehensive record of the painting to put in its “object file,” according to Marx. All of the paperwork that comes with the painting goes into that file. Once the painting’s history is collected, it’s time to get the museum ready for the newest exhibition.
blocks in the gallery where it will be installed. The courier watches the art handlers safely open the crate and remove the work. He or she inspects the condition of the work, documenting if any changes have occurred, according to Atzbach. If all is OK, the art handlers proceed with the installation of the work. The curators and director consider a work’s placement carefully, Atzbach said.
“Most works of art come already framed, so that is not something that we can change,” Atzbach said. “With a graphic designer, we decide what type of font we would like to use on our didactic panels.” The team also decides whether or not to change wall colors, which is dependent on how much time they have to install the show, Atzbach said. Different paint colors look good depending on what paintings you have, according to Marx. If paintings are more modern, you want whiter walls. Some paintings look better with richer colors on the walls, she said. According to Marx, it can take up to about a week and a half to install a new exhibition, but the museum will always leave its permanent collection on display for visitors. On the day of installation, the work of art is removed by art handlers from storage, placed on a special cart to prevent any damage caused by movement, and then placed onto carpeted
“Once the work’s final position within a gallery is decided, the art handlers hang the work of art in the appointed spot,” she said. The Current Exhibition All the works in the Meadows Museum are owned by SMU unless part of a temporary exhibition. One of the current exhibitions at the Meadows Museum is “Salvador Dalí, An Early Surrealist Masterpiece.” Dalí’s famous “L’homme poisson” is on display, though
it has “remained out of the public domain for much of its existence,” according to the Meadows Museum website. The Meadows Museum sometimes likes to hire someone to run an X-ray on the painting. This scan is completely harmless to the work, but provides interesting information. The X-ray can detect what the painting looks like underneath the top layer. The viewer can see what changes have been made between earlier versions and the final product. This tool was used on Dalí’s “L’homme poisson” and allows the viewer to delve deeper into the history of the painting. “The Meadows Museum is one of the most important cultural resources we have on campus,” Spanish professor Libby Russ said. “I like to bring my students there so they know about it, enjoy it and even visit it on their own.” The Dalí exhibition will be on display until June 19.

SMU students weigh in on Residential Commons twoyear, on-campus requirement KEAGAN SNIVELY Contributing Writer ksnively@smu.edu Close to class, dining halls and the recreational center; thriving community engagement; statistically proven higher GPA result; serendipity and spontaneity. When hearing these different things, it seems that living in one of the 11 Residential Commons at SMU for two mandatory years would be an easy. But for junior Lauren Lunden, it all comes down to one key consideration: money. “For me, it is much cheaper to live offcampus,” Lunden said. “My apartment is way cheaper than what SMU charges for on-campus living, but with more room and amenities. I also spend less on food by avoiding having to have an SMU meal plan.” Even with the features that on campus living at SMU offers, Sam Gavic, Residential Commons Director (RCD) for Crum Commons, agrees that money is an area that needs some adjusting. “This is definitely an area we as a university need to improve on,” Gavic said. “It is not cheap to live on campus, and you can certainly find cheaper housing options off-campus. Either way it’s expensive, but we can do better to make living on-campus more affordable and more attractive for students.” Students with no scholarship aid living in a double or triple occupancy room for the 2014-2015 school year paid $9,670. Students living in a single occupancy room for the same school year paid $12,050. Lunden said her rent costs around $1,700 a month, but that is split between her and her roommate. First-year Grant Hilbert said that although expensive, the Residential Commons have plenty to offer students of all backgrounds. He finds the community aspect intriguing. “I really appreciate living on campus because I am right in the middle of campus life and activities,” Hilbert said. “I get to grow and learn in an academic learning environment while getting to meet and live with individuals of different genders, races and backgrounds. I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by a wonderful community. I am in no rush to leave.” And he isn’t the only student that feels
this way. Common’s Council President Drew Wicker understands that the relationships made are irreplaceable. “I think it forces you to be social and get to know people,” Wicker said. “Which, besides the education, is the most rewarding part of college in my opinion. You develop invaluable relationships with a larger number of people than you would if everyone lived off-campus.” While building relationships is a perk of living on-campus, some students would still prefer only having to live in the Residential Commons for one year. “I believe many could be happy either way,” first-year Lexi Murphy said. “I have a lot of friends that enjoy living on-campus, but also many that would prefer to live offcampus their sophomore year, such as me.” Transfer student Kelsey Karanges enjoyed having no campus living requirements at her previous institution, Kansas State University. “Because we had no restrictions, I chose to live my first year on campus in order to get the experience and then moved off-campus my second year,” Karanges said. “It was nice to have a choice in the matter because everyone has different preferences.” Gavic said that though it is very rare, some exceptions are granted and students are allowed to move off-campus before their first two years are completed. He said the most common instances of this is when a student has a medical issue that the Residential Commons cannot accommodate. And although some students think they cannot wait to get out and live on their own, reality sometimes hits them later on. “I think most people value the experience after they leave. While they are there, I am sure there is some dissatisfaction and frustration,” Wicker said. “Many of the juniors and other individuals I have talked to miss the community and people they grew to know and enjoy. Many of them still keep in contact and value the time they had in the Commons.” There are always two sides to any story. In Lunden’s case, even though the expenses caused her to move off-campus, she still appreciated the two years spent on campus.

Professor John Pfaff spoke at SMU on prison reform April 7.
Fordham Professor John Pfaff speaks on prison reform KATIE BUTLER Assignments Desk Editor kbutler@smu.edu Professor John Pfaff of Fordham University visited the SMU law school April 7 to give a lecture entitled “The Causes of Prison Growth: Prosecution, Violent Crimes and the Public Sector” to students and faculty. Pfaff, h as been teaching criminal law, sentencing law and economics for 11 years at Fordham and is currently doing research in the area of increased incarceration rates in the U.S. for the last 40 years. Pfaff said there are many factors contributing to the rise in prison populations across the nation and listed four major causes: admission of inmates driven by the District Attorney, the need to focus on violent crime instead of “lower-level” drug crime and overlooked structural and political flaws. For example, Pfaff asserts that in most recent years, there has been a war on drugs, yet as a nation politicians and law enforcement have not focused on preventing violent crime. “It’s violent offenders, not drug crimes,” Pfaff said. “Over half of all people in prison are in prison for violent crimes. Everyone in prison for long-term is almost inevitably in there for violent crime.” “If you want to cut prison population,” Pfaff continued, “at some point, the lowlevel violent offenders [drug offenders] aren’t going to do much. You’re going to have to ask ‘How do we punish murderers and so far, politicians aren’t raising this issue.” Pfaff said that private prisons play almost no role in this, yet it is the public prisons that drive this, among many of the other issues that go along with prison reform.
“Many politicians don’t actually want to be tough on crime,” Pfaff said. “But the nature of politics forces them to be tough on crime.” In fact, according to Pfaff, every year the U.S. releases half of all inmates from prison, and that ratio hasn’t moved much from 1978 to 2014. “We have crazy sentences on the books, but we don’t actually have that. The time on the books rarely reflects the time that is actually sought by the DAs…adding extra time adds almost no benefit,” he said. In other words, more and more people are being prosecuted due to a rise in prosecution power, resulting in an increase of arrests for charges like drug-related offenses, filling up prisons monumentally. “Between 1980 and 2010, there was a net decline of arrests — fewer people physically entering the criminal justice system at the felony level. Yet during that time, the number of felony cases, not arrests, but cases filed in a courtroom, rise by 40 percent,” Pfaff said. He said this is the main reason why we see almost all growth in prisons. “It is not longer sentences that is driving growth — it’s the DA,” Pfaff continued. “They become aggressive, unregulated, uncontrolled…and no one has any idea why.” During his lecture, Pfaff went into great detail about the reasons why there are issues in prisons around the nation, and why there has been much growth over the past twenty years. The way to reform prisons? According to Pfaff, there must be funding of public defenders, more data about the issues and on DAs, plea-bargaining guidelines and realignment of the entire system. “We must change the culture,” Pfaff said of prison. “The laws aren’t going to get us where we need to go.”

SMU Athletic Director Rick Hart introducing new women’s basketball Head Coach Travis Mays
New women’s basketball Head Coach Travis Mays “ponys up” with his new team.
Mays to be women’s basketball coach PATRICK ENGEL Sports Columnist pengel@smu.edu
With SMU’s fight song blaring and in front of about 50 fans, family, current and former players watching at Moody Coliseum, SMU ushered in a new era of women’s basketball with the introduction of head coach Travis Mays Friday afternoon. The man known for his bowtie had already updated his neckwear for the occasion. He sported a red-and-blue bowtie complete with the Peruna logo. Mays vowed to be active in the SMU and greater Dallas community and to continue the success the program had under former head coach Rhonda Rompola, who held the position for 25 years. “I want to be a part of the staff that builds on her
tradition here. If anyone can work anywhere for 25 years, that’s a tremendous thing,” Mays said. “I hope I’m here for 25 years. I’m going to say this to the entire community of Dallas: I’m here and I’m planning on being involved,” Mays said. “I like to insert myself in the community.” Part of being involved in the community is recruiting. Much like SMU head football coach Chad Morris, Mays is well-known among Texas high school coaches and Texas is full of basketball talent. “We have to compete in the state of Texas for recruits,” SMU Director of Athletics Rick Hart said. “You’re looking for someone who you can envision going out and competing for some of the top students and athletes in our state. Travis’ ties to Texas, people know who he is. He has credibility,
he knows the state.” Mays, present with his wife Mirella and children Cherrell and Trevor, described himself as a fun-loving guy who likes to joke a lot, but takes his job seriously and possesses unique competitiveness. “He’s going to pour every ounce of himself into this program and into these young women,” Hart said. “He challenged me and said that he’s the most competitive person around. I told him, ‘Maybe next to me,’ but he’s a competitor.” Mays served as University of Texas at Austin’s associate head coach under Karen Aston from 2012-16 and spent the previous four seasons as an assistant at LSU under Hall of Fame coach Van Chancellor. He played at UT from 1986 to 1990 and was a first-round draft pick of the Sacramento Kings in 1990.
With Mays’ accomplished background and his reputation as an outstanding recruiter, SMU wasn’t the first school to express interest in him as a head coach. He had to be selective in finding the right time and right offer to make the jump. “I had other opportunities I was offered. It either wasn’t the right time or wasn’t what SMU had to offer,” Mays said. “When I came to campus, I could feel the passion. And I think what the men’s basketball program has done and the hiring of coach Morris has generated some excitement. I think the women’s program is hungry for that.” Ironically, SMU’s call to Mays wasn’t well-timed. Mays had just pulled his family’s luggage off the baggage claim after landing in Las Vegas Thursday for vacation when SMU called him.
“Today is like a dream come true,” Mays said. “I’ve prepared my whole life for this. Today was like a dream come true. A whirlwind, a lot going on, many moving parts, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.” Hart gave him the call to reach the agreement, but credited Senior Associate A.D. for Administration Monique Holland with running the search. Holland was the first to speak with Mays at length. She spoke highly of Hart and the rest of the athletic department, which drew Mays in quickly. “If you light up when you talk about the person you work with as much as she did, I felt that could be something I want be a part of, because I think it’s priceless,” Mays said. “Once I came to campus and felt the vibe with the staff, it was a no-brainer for me. I
just had to convince them that I was the right person.” SMU had a profile for the next head coach. The program wanted someone who could leverage the school’s assets and build a championship contender. Mays fit the profile. He had already spoken with Holland when Hart got an endorsement of Mays from Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma. “A lot of people want him to recommend them for jobs,” Hart said. “He didn’t call me with three names, five names or seven names, he called me about Travis.” SMU did not disclose Mays’ contract terms, but Hart said it is a “long-term” contract. Mays’ first task will be to assemble a coaching staff. He said he has about 40 to 50 résumés he is already looking at for staff positions.

COMMENTARY
Predictions for this year’s upcoming football season, wins and losses ANDREW SCOTT Contributing Writer dascott@smu.edu No SMU basketball. No baseball team. SMU sports are pretty quiet right now. With the football season less than five months away, and the spring game coming up, let’s take a quick look at what the Mustangs’ football season could look like next year. For my quick predictions this year, I have taken a glance at the schedule and made predictions on wins, losses, and toss-up games. Here are the games I have marked down for which the team should be favored in, and, more importantly,
should win: North Texas, Liberty and Tulane. Right now, SMU fans can count on the Mustangs pulling out those games. Here are the losses: Baylor, Houston, TCU, Navy and Temple. While SMU is the clear underdog in these competitions, that doesn’t mean they are completely written off. SMU played both Baylor and TCU even for the majority of their 2015 games. But, for the sake of surface level predictions, on paper, SMU should not win those four games. That leaves the Mustangs with four toss-up games: at Tulsa and ECU, and at home against Memphis and USF. If the Mustangs can win
75 percent of my so-called toss-up games, they will be bowl-eligible for the first time since 2012. This all comes with a catch. In the games against those teams last year, the team lost to every one of them by a combined 146 points. Memphis lost their coach and star QB, and ECU has a new coach at the helm, but none of those games will be easy. If I had to make a choice right now, I think the team beats Tulsa and ECU and loses to Memphis and USF. A record of 5-7 this year is no small feat. That’s a threewin improvement from last year. Vegas Sports books will release their over/under
win totals sooner rather than later, and I expect SMU’s to be in the range of 3.5-4.5. While we’re here talking about gambling, here’s my gambling advice I would give you if it was legal in Texas: bet on SMU to start the season. Vegas books struggled to gauge how good the team was last year to start the season, and it resulted in the Mustangs either covering or beating the spread in the first three games and four of their first six. So look for SMU football to be underrated again by Vegas next year to start the season. As for now, let’s hope for a bowl-eligible season and not be disappointed with only four wins.
Football team introduces new safety technology BRECK SPENCER Sports Edior bspencer@smu.edu During the past couple years, research regarding sport-related head injuries has begun to make football players, fans and coaches question the safety precautions taken by teams to provide maximum protection and minimize longterm injuries for their players. In response, the SMU football team has adopted a new form of headwear this spring called Guardian Caps. Head-to-head contact is inevitable in football and potential head injuries will threaten people, regardless of safety technology implemented.
It’s just the nature of the game. However, by implementing new technology, like Guardian Caps, programs are able to contain the risk and maximize safety. The “caps” are a soft shell placed on the outside of the helmet and aim to reduce the magnitude of the impact by increasing “deflection and time extension during deflection,” according the the Guardian Caps website. Although the long term effects on injury prevention with Guardian Caps are unknown, the integration of Guardian Caps into the SMU football team’s equipment symbolizes a shift towards a safer, more innovative program.

Chris Holt brings power to newest double album ‘Stargazer’ KARA FELLOWS Assoc. A&L Editor kfellows@smu.edu After a five-year hiatus, Chris Holt is returning to the Dallas music scene with his newest album “Stargazer” and it absolutely kills. After his last release received lukewarm reviews, Holt took a hiatus from music to focus on other creative pursuits. His memoir and screenplay didn’t make much of a splash and he started working with State Fair Records, putting down some old tracks he had written. This turned into the double album “Stargazer.” State Fair Records has
been releasing singles off the album so fans don’t get overwhelmed by abruptly dropping 22 tracks after five years of radio silence. The album is a collection of tracks Holt wrote during his five-year hiatus from music as well as some tracks he had written even further back and never produced. The wide span of time the album covers means there is also a wide range of styles on the album. But throughout that range there is a consistent theme of getting older and wiser throughout the album. There’s a lot of reflection in the lyrics about what you’ve done and where
you’re going. Twenty-two songs may sound like a lot, but Holt manages to make each track such a jam that you can’t help but want more after each one. He ranges from heavy guitar riffs to an almost beachy vibe without losing any of his catchy rhythms. His upbeat songs like “Face to Face” and “Make My Bed” combine riffs and drumbeats perfect for studying, working out or even just driving with the windows down. It’s the music you want to bob your head along to. Even if you don’t realize it you’ll find yourself nodding along to the beat.
Yoga and the new morning routine LISA SALINAS Copy Editor lmsalinas@smu.edu Being nice isn’t always easy for Martha Kornman, especially if she doesn’t start her day right. Her busy schedule revolves around her kids. Between taking them to school, events, doctor appointments and running errands, it’s almost impossible to find time for herself. The only time Kornman can squeeze in for herself is at a 5:45 a.m. yoga class. “It sets the whole day,” Kornman said. “There is something nice about coming here early in the morning and feeling centered, calm and very awake as opposed to feeling half asleep, groggy and rushed in the morning.” Kornman has been practicing yoga on and off for five years and is a regular at the 5:45 a.m. class at Karmany Yoga in Dallas. Although some people dread the thought of waking up this early, Kornman looks forward to every yoga session. “It’s my favorite thing to wake up to first thing in the morning,” Kornman said. Yoga has been shown to help people relax and manage both their stress and anxiety levels. Yoga also brings together physical and mental disciplines that may help people achieve peacefulness of body and mind, according to mayoclinic.org. However, there is a difference between taking
yoga early in the morning versus later in the afternoon that doesn’t just have to do with the time. Practicing yoga at 5 a.m. warms and prepares the body for movement throughout the rest of the day. Melissa Preston, a yoga instructor at Karmany Yoga, even sees more improvements in students who come to her early morning classes, primarily because they are regulars. “They come almost every Tuesday and Thursday. Students in the noon classes, I think in most studios, are very sporadic so it’s harder to track their progress,” Preston said. Preston believes taking yoga any time of day is great, but specifically mentioned the benefits of taking a class early in the morning. “The benefit of coming to an early morning class is that you really open your body. In the morning when you first get out of bed, you’re really cranky,” Preston said. “A lot of people jump out of bed, get in the shower, and then they’re in their car and their head is still all wrapped up in yesterday.” Preston also said that taking an early morning yoga class can prevent injuries. “If you jump out of bed and are walking up stairs to get to work but your body is not warm and open, you are more prone to injury because you haven’t strengthened your muscles and gotten more flexible,” Preston said.
The main difference in taking a yoga class early in the morning versus later in the day though is how warmed up and ready one may be, according to Preston. “If you do take a noon class, your body will naturally be a little more open because you’ve been walking and you’ve been driving, so you already have more flexibility,” Preston said. “But that’s simply from living your daily life and not from being here and doing it in a safe, healthy way.” Ashley Isles, a computer science major at SMU, has been doing yoga on and off for two years. She has taken yoga classes at two different times, 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., and agrees that practicing yoga in the morning is a better way to start her day. “I prefer the morning class because the night class makes me sleepy. The morning class is a refreshing start to the day,” Isles said. Eleanor Odenheimer, a yoga instructor at SMU, has been teaching yoga since 2006. She also emphasized the differences of taking yoga in the morning versus afternoon. “There are ancient yoga traditions that say there are certain times of day to do yoga,” Odenheimer said. “What kind of yoga you do is also dependent on the time of day. In the morning it may be very slow, you might just be easing into your day. In the evening it may be more invigorating or faster moving to help balance out the waning energy level.”

Library at Dallas’ ‘Premiere Video’ store remains unrivaled KELLY KOLFF Contributing Writer kkolff@smu.edu Chris Wade was the cool kid, the one everyone wanted at their sleepover. Night after night, Wade would show up with armfuls of the latest horror flicks or Nintendo games ready to share with all of his closest friends. No, Wade didn’t have some secret ties with movie production companies and no; he didn’t know the CEOs of the latest game developers. He simply grew up in the perfect place for a young boy in the ’80s: his family’s video store. While other kids spent their summers vacationing at the beach or gaming at the local arcades, Wade and his friends would rollerblade straight to the family store to watch movies and play games for hours on end. “It’s been a lot of fun sharing these movies because I’ve seen everything in here about a hundred times,” Wade said. Anyone with a laptop and a love of media will tell you they can download, stream or play anything they’d like with a click of a button. But no amount of modern-day instant access compares to the vast collection of movies that seems to stretch for miles at Premiere Video on Mockingbird Lane. Owner Sam Wade has been selling videos since 1984, when he and his thenwife, Madeline, opened up the first location at Royal Lane and Skillman Street. Yet he wasn’t always interested in watching films. “You could say I grew into it,” Wade said. “As the years went on I would watch more and more and more and get more confidence and enjoyed what I enjoyed and

didn’t watch what I didn’t.” The store itself is covered wall to wall with every title imaginable. If you want it, Premiere Video definitely has it. That obscure French film from 2013? It’s called “Mood Indigo” and it’s on the “Foreign” wall, along with the other 10,000 or so foreign titles. And even if they don’t have what you’re looking for, Sam Wade will get it for you. “We listened to what the customer wanted and heard customer requests,” Wade said. “Madeline was really the one who would notice that we’d tailor the store to the direction that the customer wanted.” The patrons of Premiere Video are what make the store possible. Wade often cites his customer base as the reason the job is so enjoyable. “People always come in in a good mood,” Wade said. “It’s not enjoyable because of the movies only, it’s enjoyable because of the people that come in. The people that come into the store are so stupendous.” Wade also enjoys talking to new customers about Netflix, since it gives him the chance to compare Premiere’s library to that of the online streaming service. Often, Netflix does not have

titles that Premiere does. “As soon as they throw Netflix out, of course my antenna goes up,” Wade said. “The website would say, ‘This movie is not available on DVD. We do not know when it’s going to be released.’ And I’d go, ‘But right there it is! Either they’re lying to you, or they’re lying to you.’” Students at SMU have noticed the lack of variety Netflix has to offer as well. “There are certain animations that are not available on Netflix,” junior Amy Nguyen said. “They have a very limited list of anime.” Along with its astounding collection, Premiere Video’s draw is the atmosphere and ability to bring people together. “The store used to be a great big social gathering,” Wade said. “It’s really, really fun to argue about stuff and look at stuff and feel the box cover and read the back and see who’s in it and stuff. You just can’t do that with the online experience.” Despite the store’s decline in popularity, Sam Wade’s son assures that Premiere Video is resilient. “I always thought that was most triumphant part,” Chris Wade said. “We’re still around just hanging out, having fun, selling movies.”
Multimedia group “The Residents” are premiering their documentary “Theory of Obscurity: A Film About The Residents” in Austin this year. The mysterious group will reveal their documentary about their success and style over the years May 4. “The Residents” are an art group that have produced music, video and more through different platforms during the last few decades, inspiring many artists around the world. SMU Campus Weekly sat down with Homer Flynn, the manager of “The Residents.” Campus Weekly: What made you want to follow this unique career path?
Homer Flynn: In many ways when I look back, it seems like this career path chose me as opposed to me having chosen it. I had contact with some of The Residents as far back as high school, although the idea of them forming a band was no more than an idle thought at the time. But once we reconnected in the Bay Area and they asked for my help as a graphics consultant on their early albums, I was immediately sucked into what they were doing. I certainly could have made more money doing something else, but I have always found more satisfaction from the people around me and relationships I have formed than from the outward trappings of success, so this was a good direction for me. CW: Was it difficult to gain
traction with the group? HF: No, once a level of trust was established, which happened early on, gaining traction was easy...Something as wacky and unique as The Residents doesn’t come along very often and I knew I wanted to be part of it. CW: For those that haven’t been introduced to The Residents, how would you describe them? HF: I would describe The Residents as multimedia artists who have often masqueraded as a band. Music is certainly important to them, but no more so than performance, film/ video, graphic arts and writing. CW: Anything that makes you particularly proud? HF: I am especially happy with the Third Reich’n Roll, Eskimo and Tweedles covers.

RocksBox will rock all jewelry fanatics’ socks off AMELIA DRACUP Contributing Writer adracup@smu.edu Styles are constantly changing in fashion. Sometimes it is difficult to spend money on an item because it may not be considered trendy in just a few short months. But a few companies are making it easier to stay on trend without breaking the bank. Birchbox supplies a monthly dose of current makeup looks and companies like Trunk Club will keep you in stylish clothes. Today, RocksBox allows customers to receive jewelry, wear it for as long as they like and keep the pieces they want to purchase. As soon as a RocksBox customer returns a box, they can expect to receive another within a week. Plus, customers aren't limited on the number of boxes they can receive per month. When you receive your jewelry, you can expect designers of a mid-range price point, such as House of Harlow, Trina Turk and Kendra Scott. The value of the box will be around $200 and usually includes three pieces. The pieces generally match so you can wear them all together. In addition, the items RocksBox offers are bestsellers for the designers so customers know they are receiving the best products. SMU senior Allyson Zabaleta became a fan of RocksBox when she received a sixmonth gift card for Christmas. “I love RocksBox because I feel like jewelry is usually super trendy, and it’s hard to invest money in trendy jewelry if it won’t be in style in a couple of months,” Zabaleta said. She said she most enjoyed being able to “test drive” the different designs. “It’s nice because you can see how often you wear a piece of jewelry and determine if it’s worth buying or not,” Zabaleta said. To get started with RocksBox, you pay $19 a month to become a Shine Insider. Members can put $10 of “shine” toward a product they covet each month. “I got a really pretty Loren Hope statement necklace that I love,” Zabaleta said. “And I also got some really pretty Kendra Scott jewelry.” Maeve Ricaurte is on the marketing team at RocksBox. She emphasized that the company takes the time to design each box to fit the individual’s style and ensure the client is getting a variety of jewelry pieces.

RocksBox sends subscribers a box of jewelry each month.
“Our stylists curate each customer’s box, reviewing her history, her requests (on Instagram and on our website) and any social media profiles she has connected for reference,” Ricaurte wrote in an email interview. The arrival of yet another monthly subscription service shouldn’t be surprising, said Cara Jacocks, SMU assistant professor in the Department of Communication Studies. “Subscription companies prioritize convenience,” Jacocks said. “These companies allow you to try new products at your convenience, at your residence, at a reasonable price.” The success of subscription companies is based on the fact that consumers’ shopping needs have changed. Instead of driving to the mall every weekend, people are choosing to shop online instead. “Many of us work long hours, many of us commute long hours, many of us have complex personal demands in our lives,” Jacocks said. “This leaves little time for shopping for products we feel like we need, or products we desire.” Jacocks said she herself favors subscription services. “I simply try the products, keep the ones I like and subscribe for similar products, or return what I don’t like," she said. "It’s that simple."

Female celebrities like Swift and Delevingne suit up for award shows this spring EMILY WARD Fashion Editor eward@smu.edu As the semester draws to a close and the mad cramming, highlighter scurrying latenight study sessions begin, it's difficult to pencil in quality TV time. So much so that an awards show (or two or three) can fly by without students even noticing.
Within the past two weeks, the third iHeartRadio Music Awards, the 51st Academy of Country Music Awards and the 25th MTV Movie Awards all presented trophies to audiences' favorite musicians and actors. Don't fret if all three shows slipped by without as much as a second thought, or if they are doomed to collect virtual cobwebs in a rarely
used DVR. The top celebrities made it easy on fashionistas by all sticking to the same trend: the suit. Whether a fan of pantsuits or jumpsuits, leave dresses in the closet this spring and gather style inspiration from the six stunning ladies above. Demi Lovato The "Stone Cold" singer slayed in Alexander McQueen paired with Prada heels.
Selena Gomez Gomez embraced both color and edge in a bright orange Mugler jumpsuit, Giuseppe Zanotti stacked sandals, Fenton Fallon jewelry and a Jimmy Choo clutch. Taylor Swift The Album of the Year, Best Tour and Female Artist of the Year winner rocked a skintight, sparkling Saint
Laurent halter one-piece teamed with Giuseppe Zanotti platform peep-toe booties. Tae Dye One-half of the Maddie & Tae country duo donned a black sequin House of CB jumpsuit and L.A.M.B. shoes. Cara Delevingne The "Suicide Squad" starlet wore a cutout jumpsuit from Balmain's Fall '16
collection to introduce the thriller's latest trailer with her squad of castmates. She completed the look with a fabulous gray-mauve shade of lipstick and a subtle yet chic snake-like braid tucked in her side part. Gigi Hadid The supermodel of the moment picked a pinstripe pants-and-blazer Versace set for a sultry office look.

UC Proposal mixes progress, pitfalls The University Curriculum (UC), SMU’s university-wide academic requirements, has been under revision since its inception in Fall 2012. While there have been incremental steps made along the way, more changes were proposed this past fall, which you can read here. Recently, Faculty Senate has approved this version, called UC 2016, for incoming Class of 2020 students. While I am all for overhauling the structure of the UC, I am concerned about how the 2016 proposal will go about being put into practice. While it holds potential for success, it also holds much potential for gridlock and disappointment. One thing the UC 2016 proposal gets right is that it cuts down on some confusion in the area of pillars. Instead of having “level I” and “level II” classes out of the same pillar, the UC 2016 makes completely separate “Breadth” and “Depth” requirements for its curriculum. With these separate categories come new tags for the courses, while retaining some of the old “pillar” names as course definitions. The UC 2016 introduces a category for STEM alone, with technology and mathematics comprising one Breadth requirement along with science and engineering. While this will likely satisfy engineering students, who will have more of the general education crossover with their education, it may transfer some of these complaints over to the rest of the student body. Meadows majors likely will not find a course to fulfill this science and engineering requirement within their school, and therefore will have to add hours in courses that they possibly are not interested in — or enrollment in courses like creative computing will skyrocket. Either way, these new pillars will create hard-topredict difficulties and demands on the academic system. In addition to these unknowns, I am highly concerned about how this policy will be implemented across SMU. It has taken literally years for courses to have the correct pillar designations attached to them, and there still are not enough courses that double count correctly. The current proposal maintains some of the same tags; however, it creates numerous new ones that conflict with older tags. If it was so hard to label the courses from scratch, these conflicting tags are likely to take years to figure out, especially when there are students on two versions of the

NOAH BARTOS Opinion Editor nbartos@smu.edu
UC. What if there is a new course offered that has a UC 2016 tag, but a student is on UC 2014 and will not benefit from taking it? What if a freshman is ahead in his coursework and takes a UC 2014 course that then will not count towards his or her graduation? And what of the professors, administrators, and counselors who are going to have to go through the headache of sorting out all of this curriculum trouble? Already professors complain that the UC and required academic paperwork take up too much of their time, and this shift will likely increase the paperwork for a time as well. Will there be automatic transfers of the “level I” and “level II” pillars from the old system? Or will the professors have to go and transfer over all of the courses themselves? In short, the number of new pillars and changed pillars is likely to cause a gridlock of paperwork, petitioning and proposals. Considering the past performance and efficiency of getting courses tagged, it seems as if there is a huge potential for a total
failure of the UC 2016 proposal. Furthermore, the language of the proposal does not do much to convey what each of the new pillars cover. New pillar labels include “Natural and Applied Science” and “History, Social & Behavioral Sciences.” The breadth of what these pillars are interpreted to cover will likely have a large part on the success of the UC — communicating the student learning goals and categories of these new pillars will be key in realizing the proposal effectively. However, while retaining several drawbacks, the UC 2016 does get some of the important areas right. It cuts down on the existence of level I/level II confusion and some of the overall complexity, which will be beneficial for students and counselors trying to plan their degrees in the long run. It also claims to reduce the overall number of hours, a good thing for everyone. Additionally, the Second Language requirement is loosened in its stiffness and rumors of computer languages being counted towards this have been in the works for a while. If the administrators, faculty and staff of SMU can realize these upsides of the UC 2016 proposal while minimizing the confusion that I know will ensue, then it will be a good thing for SMU overall moving forward. The realization of the UC 2016 should be taken very carefully to keep an incremental improvement from turning into a big step back.
